Bronze for Coquitlam’s Glaesser Cyclist is part of medal-winning pursuit team Bor n in Ger many, Jasmin Glaesser was never so proud to say S a t u r d ay s h e ’s a n Olympic medal winner from Canada. The 20-year-old Coquitlam cyclist became the Tri-Cities’ second medallist at the London 2012 Olympic Games as the Canadians captured bronze in women’s team pursuit. Glaesser, a graduate of Terry Fox secondary school in Port Coquitlam, and teammates Tara Whitten of Edmonton and Gillian Carleton of Victoria finished in three minutes 17.915 seconds, ahead of fourthplace Australia, which finished in 3:18.096. “We knew it was going to be a battle,” said Glaesser, who moved with her family from Germany when she was eight years old. “We knew it was going to come down to the last lap but we were 100% committed to doing our best. We knew that if we paced ourselves really well and saved ourselves for the end and have a strong finish, we could have a chance.”

Missing woman found after four days SAR commends work of PoMo police officer By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam Search and Rescue is praising the work of a Port Moody Police constable for helping find a 20-yearold Douglas College stu-
dent with special needs who disappeared from Sasamat Lake last week. Const. Angela Fisher worked with Joy Zhang’s friend Judy, who is also special needs, to piece together information that would help locate the missing student. Judy had initially gone missing with Zhang on Thursday from White Pine beach but was found alone sev-
eral hours later. Zhang was found on Sunday. Dwight Yochim, a search manager for Coquitlam Search and Rescue, said crews had a difficult time understanding Judy but Fisher was able to work with her and build a relationship. “Const. Fisher is an amazing investigator,” he said. “She sat down with
Judy every time we got out there. She walked on the trails with her. Every time she did that, a new piece of the puzzle came out.” Judy told Fisher that she and Zhang had eaten berries and watched the sunset together, information that helped rescue crews narrow the search area. see ZHANG ZHANG,, page 9

Coquitlam man with licence to grow busted by Mounties A Coquitlam man is facing charges after Langley RCMP drug section officers witnessed him allegedly hand a bag of marijuana to an Ontario man at a hotel parking lot. RCMP officers, acting on an anonymous tip about marijuana being transported back east from B.C., seized 17.5 pounds of pot and
$123,590 on Wednesday. A 50-year-old Ontario man was also arrested and a 2005 Volvo semi truck he was travelling in was seized. More than $120,000 was found in the truck and another $2,000 was found in the possession of the Coquitlam man, according to police. Mounties said the alleged seller holds a valid
Health Canada licence to possess and produce marijuana. “Health Canada will only revoke the licence if the man is found guilty of a designated substance offence, a process which may take several years,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Craig Van Herk. Both men have been released from custody

Protection group pushes for PoCo trap ban Skunk in leg-hold trap in a PoCo neighbourhood By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
An animal rights organization is pressuring the city of Port Coquitlam to ban leghold traps after a skunk that got caught in one of the devices died in a residential area. The Association for the Protection of Fur Bearing Animals said leg-hold traps should not be used, particularly in urban environments where domestic pets and children are put in danger. Lesley Fox, a spokesperson for the organization, said PoCo should take steps to ban the devices. “People have a high intolerance for these types of traps, especially in urban areas,” she said. “They just don’t belong.” Two weeks ago, a wounded skunk wandered into PoCo resident Robert Belyk’s backyard with a trap
still attached to its leg. Langley’s Critter Care Wildlife Society took the animal away but its injuries were severe and the animal was euthanized. Fox said it is becoming an increasingly common occurrence to see leg-hold traps in neighbourhoods and municipalities need to do more to stop trappers. Surrey is currently considering a ban and Sechelt recently implemented a bylaw prohibiting the use of the devices. “We have to move to a more sustainable and non-lethal model,” she said. “We are campaigning to prohibit the use of body gripping traps.” Her organization is also offering a $1,200 reward for anyone with information that could identify the person who set the trap that caught the skunk in PoCo. Dan Scoones, the city’s manager of bylaw services, said he was surprised to hear about a leg-hold trap being used within the municipality. He has received several emails from concerned residents and
said staff are researching what a potential ban would entail. But there are several issues that the city needs to consider before a bylaw can be passed. Enforcement and investigation are a concern and Scoones said that it would be difficult to locate the traps once they are set, particularly on private property. Likely, the city would have to use a fine or some type of deterrence to punish trappers after an incident occurred, he added. There is also some jurisdictional overlap with the provincial government, which oversees hunting and trapping, but Scoones said the city has the ability to prohibit leg-hold devices. “There is enough authority in the animal control welfare sphere that we could deal with this,” he said. “It poses a risk to domestic animals.” It is not just residents who would be affected by a potential trapping ban. The city uses traps to catch beavers in

After a skunk that was caught in a leg-hold trap was euthanized, the Association for the Protection of Fur Bearing Animals called for the city of Port Coquitlam to ban the traps’ use in residential areas. order to prevent flooding or property damage the animals can cause. Scoones said the city’s own trapping needs would have to be considered before a ban is implemented.
(When trapping becomes necessary, the work is contracted out. Traps are submerged under water and, according to the city website, do not pose any risk to children or pets.)
“Any bylaw the city passes is binding to the city unless we exempt ourselves,” he said. “I can’t really comment on those matters... Somebody in engineering will have to give
some thought to that.” Scoones said he will be preparing a report for the city’s community safety committee, which will hold its next meeting in September. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
14-year-old killed in cycling accident Witnesses are sought to MVA on Thursday By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A 14-year-old boy who was struck by a car Thursday while cycling on Schoolhouse Street near Lucille Star Drive died in hospital Friday morning, according to the Coquitlam RCMP. The teen was crossing the street when he was struck by a northbound vehicle shortly after 2 p.m. last Thursday. The incident shut down traffic in both directions and the Coquitlam RCMP’s Traffic Services and Integrated
Collision Analyst and Reconstruction Services is investigating. “There isn’t a lot we can say about it until the investigation goes forward a little bit more,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We also have to review and analyze our witness statements. We are trying to get as many witnesses as possible. We have some but I don’t think we have all of it.” He added that it is too early to say whether charges could result from the accident. Alcohol, drugs and speed are not believed to be factors and police said the driver of the vehicle has been co-operating. The victim, who police said was wearing a
helmet at the time of the collision, died of a severe brain injury. Due to his age, the boy’s name will not be released. Police are asking any witnesses to come forward. In a press release on Saturday, the Mounties said three Caucasian males dressed in casual business attire were seen walking north on Schoolhouse Street on the east sidewalk. As well, the driver of a pickup truck stopped at the intersection of Schoolhouse Street and Lucille Starr Drive and put on hazard lights. Any person with information about these witnesses or any other information about the collision is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at
604-945-1550 and quote file number 2012-21131. Thursday’s incident was the second time a cyclist was struck by a car last week in Coquitlam.
2ND CYCLIST HIT
Another bike rider was injured Tuesday evening when a driver struck a bike on David Avenue between Lansdowne Avenue and Noons Creek. The cyclist was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Chung said that incident happened shortly after 8 p.m. when the male cyclist was crossing the street at the crosswalk. The setting sun is believed to have blinded the driver of a Honda
Civic who was heading west on David when he struck the cyclist. He added that alcohol was not a contributing factor. “When the sun is setting, it is pretty much right in your eyes,” Chung said. “It is very difficult to see.” Chung said a similar incident happened a couple of months ago at the same location. He reminded cyclists or pedestrians to make eye contact with drivers before venturing across a road. Police are looking to get in touch with a doctor who administered first aid to the victim. She is asked to call the Coquitlam detachment at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2012-20949. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Motorcyclist is dead A motorcyclist is dead after a collision Thursday night with a Toyota Matrix in the Burquitlam area. Police are seeking witnesses to the accident, which occurred shortly after 10:40 p.m., when a Yamaha motorcycle heading northbound collided with the blue Matrix, which was turning left from North Road on to Foster. The driver of the car remained at the scene and is co-operating with police. The investigation is still in its early stages and it is unclear whether alcohol, drugs or speed contributed to the crash. Coquitlam RCMP traffic services is investigating the incident. Anyone that may have witnessed the crash is being urged to contact the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 201221199. Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or go online at www.solvecrime.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

The city of Port Coquitlam released 30,000 lady bugs on the trunk of the tulip tree situated in Veteran’s Park in front of city hall last month. The bugs are expected to combat aphids, which can damage plants and leaves sticky droppings that can sometimes be seen on cars and park benches. Reading about the bug bonanza, Port Coquitlam photographer Steve Smith headed for Veteran’s Park (site of the city’s cenotaph and next to the downtown Starbucks) and got up close and personal with the ladybugs.

Investigators are trying to determine what started a blaze at a Coquitlam home Sunday morning.
Investigators are trying to piece together what caused a fire at a Coquitlam home where a smart meter was installed one month earlier. The flames appear to have started around where the meter was located but BC Hydro officials said it not clear that there is any connection between the fire and the device. BC Hydro spokesperson Cindy Verschoor told CTV smart meters are safe and that inspections are carried out before the devices are installed. “In the vast majority of cases, we actually find problems when we actually pull the old meter off,” she said. “It’s extremely rare that there is any kind of incident after a meter is installed.” The Crown corporation also says it has repaired about 1,000 meter bases around the province. In June, a fire began at a home in Mission where a smart meter had recently been installed. BC Hydro says the BC Safety Authority is investigating that blaze. Mission Fire/Rescue Chief Ian Fitzpatrick said at the time that the flames originated where the housing for the smart meter sits on the side of the house but said it did not appear the smart meter was the cause of the fire. The incident is still under investigation. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Fill the buggy, help some kids A massive shopping cart will be parked outside of a Coquitlam grocery store starting Saturday to support a Tri-City charity. Thrifty Foods has partnered with KidSport Tri-Cities with the aim of filling the buggy with second-hand equipment for the group’s Aug. 18 fundraising sale. “The more equipment we can get donated, the more money we’ll be able to put towards subsidizing registration fees for low-income kids,” KidSport organizer Chris Wilson said, noting the donated gear will also be shared with KidSport New West for its Aug. 19 sale. Since it formed seven years ago, KidSport TriCities has helped more than 1,600 kids participate in organized athletics — including 480 children and teens last year. Used sporting goods

Zhang was found in good health Sunday morning, almost four days after her initial disappearance, not far from where rescue personnel discovered Judy Thursday night. Yochim said it was likely SAR m e m b e r s we r e close to Zhang at several points during the search but given her disability, she may not have known to respond when crews called out her name. She was found 200 m from the trail lying underneath some ferns, w h e r e Yo c h i m believes she remained for the four days she was missing. “We may never know what she did for those four days and three nights,” he said. “I don’t think that she moved from that spot.” The 80-hour search involved 20 agencies and required more than 120 volunteers to complete. The Port Moody Police Department also thanked Twitter users who re-tweeted the information about the search for Zhang. Several visitors to the park said they were made aware of the search through social media such as Twitter. After Zhang was found Sunday, Douglas College president Scott McAlpine posted a statement on the Douglas College website thanking the community for its help. “The entire Douglas College community is thankful, relieved a n d ab s o l u t e ly elated to hear the n e w s t h a t Jo y Zhang has been found,” he said. “We understand that she is receiving medical care. At this point, we do not have many details on her condition, but we have heard that she’s in good health and we are hopeful that she will make a full recovery.”

.C.’s Privacy Commissioner is examining the use of cruiser-mounted cameras by police to scan licence plates from passing vehicles. Critics have objected, citing privacy concerns, that the RCMP and other forces are using the plate-scanning technology for purposes beyond the original intent. The camera-equipped police cars scan passing or parked vehicle plates against ICBC and national police databases. Police instantly see if a car is stolen or uninsured — or if the probable driver is unlicensed, prohibited from driving, wanted by police or accused of a crime. Each time a flagged vehicle is detected, its time and location are recorded and kept for two years. Rob Wipond, one of three independent researchers whose work prompted the privacy investigation, said the criteria for generating actionable hits has crept from traffic violations to data such as whether you’ve ever gone to court to seek child custody or had a mental health episode that involved police. That might seem laudable when it helps police find an abduction victim, solve a murder or keep sex offenders from parking outside schools. But Wipond envisions British-style uses, like recording the licence plates of vehicles coming to a lawful demonstration, then using ALPR to detect, intercept and slow the same protesters headed to future gatherings. Wipond theorizes police algorithms could one day decide that because someone went to a suspicious location, they should be flagged for closer scrutiny in the future — data that might result in them not being allowed to fly or cross borders. Would you be comfortable being tracked all the time? Would if affect your sense of freedom? Police maintain the cameras are an enforcement, not intelligence-gathering, tool and that the program doesn’t flag somebody simply because he has a criminal record. But RCMP are considering keeping all plate recognition data for every vehicle the system identifies on the road — not just the actionable hits. And given the program has morphed from tracking stolen cars to tracking a broader set of targets, it’s fair to ask: What next? We need to determine a fair and proportionate use for the technology, how to apply it while still respecting one’s right to privacy. – The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News (Black Press)
Pipeline posturing won’t help Enbridge proposal BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he BC Liberal government is taking its new hard-line approach to federal environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September. Environment Minister Terry Lake has filed the B.C. government’s notice to crossexamine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan. That’s all fine and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-profile confrontation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Halifax.
T
2012 CCNA
Clark’s demands for “world-leading” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides. Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there were enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition. There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” The lady’s not for blinking but neither is B.C.’s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark this spring. All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January predic-

tion that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations that view the B.C. north coast as their 500-year eco-experiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges while continuing the media spinning and protest support they are doing now. Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the Trans-Mountain pipeline, which has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years. The competing expansion proposal by Trans-Mountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable? Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions
Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely nearly 100 years but the congested modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain openminded about the costs and benefits of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds. Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

The letter writer — who took this photo of a bear leaping over a fence — says people should stay away from areas bears frequent until the berry season is over.
Stay away or bears will die – believe it
The Editor, Re. “Bears trapped inside fence get CO escort” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 1). I am a frequent and re g u l a r w a l ke r o n Oliver Road in northeast Coquitlam near the blueberry farms on the way to the dikes. I find it is a great route to walk on summer evenings with my dogs as it is shaded and allows them a walk without getting hot. But this summer, I have changed my route for the next few weeks. Why? This year, the dynamics of the area are significantly changed with the placement of an electric fence around the farm at the east end
of the road. This has changed the way the perennial bear population roams in the area, making it hazardous for regular walkers of the area as well as casual observers that arrive nightly by the carload, kids in tow, to get close to the animals. The city of Coquitlam, the Coquitlam urban wildlife co-ordinator (Drake Stephens) as well as Metro Vancouver are doing their best to keep people out of the area with many measures, including temporary no stopping signs as well as closing access to the park on Oliver Road for the safety of all. If people continue to flaunt the temporary
rules, I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that it will only take one encounter between human and bear that causes any form of injury and the whole population of black bear adults and cubs in the area will be culled. Believe it. During this very busy time for farmers — and bears — if you care about the bears and their well-being, as well as your own, stay away from walking and cycling the restricted area until the harvesting of berries is done and the bears head back into the natural foraging areas of the park. Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam

Despite the media focus on spills and protests against new oil pipelines proposed for B.C., about half of respondents in a new poll are open to changing their minds based on economic or environmental factors. The Angus Reid survey of 804 B.C. residents found 35% completely opposed to the proposed Enbridg e Nor ther n Gateway line from northern Alberta to port facilities at Kitimat while only 7% indicated unqualified support for the line. Another 27% said they support the Enbridge proposal but could chang e their minds based on economic benefits or environmental protection. Similarly, 24% were opposed but open to reconsidering based on economic or environmental concerns. The survey asked participants what they think of Premier Christy Clark’s five preconditions for provincial support of the Enbridge project. About a third said they would more likely back the project if Clark’s demand of “world-leading” marine and land-based spill response was met, and a similar number said they would be persuaded if the current federal environmental review supports it.

So it was that a motley crew of Riverview supporters, family and friends showed up at a tea marking the closure of Riverview Hospital in June wearing green baseball caps and t-shirts, and carrying “Save Riverview Lands” banners and buttons. They were there to raise the issue of Riverview’s future, and, with Sue Haberger on guitar, began to sing songs of protest a la Pete Seeger, but with a little melodic Beach Boys and Jan and Dean thrown in to please the crowd. No sooner had their harmonies coalesced for the chorus of “Go Greenie, Go Greenie Go!” (for lyrics, see sidebar) when perplexed hospital authorities shunted them off to the edge of the Henry Esson Young Building’s parking lot. Then the rain started, recalled Haberger, and the group was forced to seek shelter, although members continued to sing their songs for anyone who would listen. As a publicity stunt, one could argue that the Raging Greenies’ appearance fizzled, A single online media outlet picked up the story; riot police were not called in; and, sadly, Haberger’s mom, 89-year-old Liz Rowley, wasn’t manhandled. “They had to be nice to us because of my mom,” Haberger admits, perhaps a little wistfully. But as a group raising concerns about the need to keep the lush and tranquil Riverview lands in public hands, the Raging Greenies are not yet ready to give up. The group was created as a lark to enliven annual general meetings for groups such as the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society, of which the two are members and early founders. “You know how dead annual meetings are. I said, ‘Let’s take a guitar and a ukulele and liven things up,’” recalled Rowley, the society’s former treasurer. That was in 1999, and the group has made a few other appearances since then, singing for like-minded groups such as the Burke Mountain Naturalists Society. But June’s appearance was the Greenies’ first truly political event. They simply couldn’t pass up an opportunity to raise their Riverview redevelopment concerns on the eve of the hospital’s closure, Haberger said. Their cause is an important one, mother and daughter say. Haberger, a Coquitlam resident and retired School District 43 math teacher, fears the property carved out of the forested uplands of the Fraser River more than a hundred years ago won’t be around for future generations and she is protective of the nearly 2,000 species trees that lend the property a picturesque, bucolic quality unmatched in the Lower Mainland. “We owe it to our children and our children’s children to make sure it’s still here. The whole passing on of the legacy is very important.” It’s easy to understand Haberger’s passion, she lives within walking distance of Riverview, and has jogged its curving streets for years, gathering chestnuts with her children in the fall and sledding there in the winter. In a way, it has become her backyard, although she admits to a certain irony because her

Sue Haberger and her mother, Liz Rowley, were among the first Raging Greenies who wrote and sang songs about the importance of preserving the 244-acre Riverview Hospital lands. The two are also members of the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. home is in the subdivision that used to be part of the original Riverview property. There is another connection that dates back 50 years, when Haberger and her mother were neighbours of John Davidson, who planted the iconic Riverview trees and started a botanical garden there before it was moved to UBC. They lived on 33rd Avenue in Kitsilano and Haberger remembers Davidson as an elderly man who was a natural teacher. “He would invite me in and he would let me look at things under microscopes,” she said. “He was a very curious man and he kept his gallstones and cataracts in jars.” Rowley, who was honoured with a Caring Canadian award for volunteering, took Davidson’s widow, Edna, under her wing when he died and became her driver, even ferrying her to the Riverview lands for the first tree walk hosted by the horticultural centre society 20 years ago. “We thought we should invite her; after all, her husband planted most of the trees,” Haberger said. Rowley’s connection to the Davidson family lasted after Edna’s death, when she was given several boxes of Davidson’s papers and his precious hand-painted lantern slides depicting his travels in B.C. as an early conservationist and naturalist.

‘BOTANY JOHN’ DAVIDSON, IN HIS OWN WORDS
“It seems to me, therefore, that it is our duty as a Natural History Society to do our part in educating the community to the fact that the conservation of plant life in B.C. is of vital importance to the future of the province, that conservation is a profitable investment, and that it is really dangerous to neglect it, or close our eyes to the wanton waste of our resources which may be seen all around us if we only wake up, and observe the handwriting on the wall.” – quote from a talk John Davidson gave to the Natural History Society in 1924

“There were even phone bills. I didn’t know what to do with it all,” Liz said. Fortunately, she came in contact with Bert Brink, a former student of Davidson’s and UBC professor of agronomy, who recognized the importance of the collection and turned it over to the UBC Botanical Garden, where the images, writings and audio visual material have been turned into a virtual museum. Now, Davidson’s writings and photographs are safe but the mother and daughter team want his Riverview legacy preserved as well. “To decimate this land is not logical, it goes against my whole sense of logic,” Haberger said. “And also, I’m a little bit stubborn. When I see something that I think that is the right thing to do, I will do what I can to make it happen.” And they’ll do what it takes, even if it means bringing out the t-shirts, buttons and guitar of the Raging Greenies many more times. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Who was ‘Botany John’ Davidson? J
ohn Davidson was one of B.C.’s earliest conservationists and his link to Coquitlam goes back a century. Davidson was working in the newly formed Provincial Botanical Office as a field assistant when he was promoted to establish a botanical garden at Essondale, now Riverview Hospital. The year was 1911, after the first hospital building, now known as West Lawn, had opened on the property and Davidson took his responsibility seriously. He wanted to create an outdoor museum and a source of living material for teaching,
lab work and post-graduate research. Thus, he began collecting plants from all over B.C. After Davidson’s initial planting, subsequent gardeners collected and planted specimens from all over the world and today, more than 1,900 significant trees have been identified and tagged in the Riverview heritage tree inventory. Five years after starting the botanical garden at Essondale, Davidson, also known as Botany John, began moving plants to the newly created UBC Botanical Garden, where he was the demonstrator in charge. Davidson was also a
naturalist and conservationist who promoted the protection of B.C. watersheds and the lands now known as Garibaldi Provincial Park. He also helped start the Vancouver Natural History Society, now Nature Vancouver, and was its first president. Many of his lantern slides are preserved and can be viewed, along with more writings by and about Davidson, at botanyjohn.org. (Lantern slides were an early form of largeformat slides that produced quality images that could be handtinted and shown to the public on projectors.)

Shut-ins share reviews A GOOD READ Teresa Rehman
D
uring these tough economic times, when most libraries are faced with cutting costs, Coquitlam Public Library still chooses to maintain personal home service to shut-in patrons. One of the greatest pleasures of my job as community services librarian is to provide a readers’ advisory service to shutin patrons, visit them in their homes and care centres, and listen to their comments about the books they have enjoyed or not enjoyed. Some of these reviews, in their revised form, have appeared on our blog, “I was told there would be cake.” For this column, I have chosen to keep their oral reviews as close to the original form as possible. • At 86, Denise Racine, a resident of Foyer Maillard, is an avid reader — listener, actually — of CD books. Recently, Denise’s review on How Will I Know (CD book) by Sheila O’Flanagan appeared on our blog: This is a story about an
Irish couple (Claire and Bill Hudson) who had been married for 14 years. They went to Fiji for a holiday and he was killed in a boating accident. I got interested in Fiji because you (Teresa) come from Fiji. She returned to Ireland and her friends and family members wanted her to date but every date wanted sex so she was having a hard time dating. Her husband had made a garden for her. Now, three years after his death, the garden needed some work. One day, she was walking her dog when the dog ran across the street and tripped a gentleman who was coming out of the florist shop with a bouquet of
flowers. The man fell and the floral arrangement was destroyed. The owner of the florist shop was angry and the woman offered to pay for the damaged flowers. Not long afterwards, the gentleman came to the woman’s house with some flowers to apologize about the incident. He looked at her garden and told her it needed work and that he could help her with it. Her dog tripped him again and this time, his ankle was sprained. She had never felt that she would love anyone again after her husband’s death but she fell in love with him. Her 14-year-old daughter also liked him. The book is not mushy and does not have sex (not that I mind reading about sex in books). I enjoyed the story and hope others will so too. This is a good family story. • It is always a pleasure to visit Jean McRobbie at Madison Care Centre. At 91, Jean listens to both MP3 and CD books, enjoying stories set in her home country of Scotland. Last week, Jean gave an excellent review of The Last Innocent Man (CD book) by Phillip Margolin, which I recorded — soon to be on YouTube. The Last Innocent Man
is a story about a defence lawyer who is excellent at his job and seems to manage by hook or by crook to get people off. He is doing very well financially and all of a sudden, it gets to him that this is not right. He is allowing crooks back into the community and he is not sure what they are doing. His conscience bothers him so much, he is sleepless by night and makes him feel quite unsteady about the whole thing. He is nervous until he decides he has to stop. Then there is a sudden, unusual end to this story. I loved this story. • The Captive Queen (MP 3 format) by Alison Weir is another story Jean found most interesting. I enjoyed the book very much. The story is about Eleanor of Aquitaine, in medieval France, and her husband Henry II of England. Eleanor had previously been married to Louis VI of France but she divorced him for a younger man, who eventually became the king of England. I enjoyed learning about the history of Europe because I did not know much about that.

Irish doctors and British monarchs continued from page 16 When I was growing up in Britain, we only learned British history. During the course of their marriage, Henry had Eleanor imprisoned, not a prison in the sense we know, but in the castle. She was under castle arrest and could not go anywhere freely. Henry did not trust Eleanor so that is why he had her imprisoned. Eleanor was very attached to her family and wanted to give them all the land, and along with that went titles and
responsibilities. You know how women adore their children and want the best for them. Henry did not like his children and did not want them to inherit the land. He was a very selfish king. I did not like Henry. What aggravated me most was that Eleanor did not resent him at all for doing all that. In fact, she still loved him while she was in prison, and kept on loving him, and they remained friends. I think he released her when they became old. • Bus Gerow enjoys listening to biographies
and adventure stories on CD books. At 91, he takes the bus to the library but leaves the readers’ adversary work to me. Recently, Bus gave an oral review of Irish Country Doctor (CD book) by Patrick Taylor. There is humour and some degree of pathos in this story. I found it entertaining and I recommend it for readers as well as listeners. The story is about a young graduating doctor who responds to an advertisement placed by a country doctor. He doesn’t know whether he wants the
job but decides to go and see the doctor. On the train, he meets an attractive young lady, who unfortunately has had infantile paralysis. That is the beginning of the love story. He meets the country doctor, who is considerably older but has a fine and interesting personality and they hit it off. If I say any more, I will ruin the story, or shall I say, take away from the story. While the book does not describe Ireland’s landscape in any depth, the story allows you to meet numerous Irish rural families, which
gives one a very good idea of Irish village life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I was tempted to listen to it again.

Hard rockers to drop debut CDs By Larry Pruner and Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
T
wo Tri-City bands will release their debut CDs this weekend — and both at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver. Altered Throne, which boasts three members who are graduates of Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary, will play the venue on Friday at 7 p.m. with Terrifier, Archspire and Argent Strand. Its eight-track, self-titled metal CD took less than a year to produce, said lead vocalist Andrew Hockley, who, along with drummer Yann Laredo and lead guitarist Matt Perrin, attended Fox. But while Laredo and Perrin engulfed themselves in the music program at their old high school and became part of a band called Prophet Fulfilled, Hockley said “I kinda just did my thing” until the three joined forces to form Altered Throne, along with guitarists Matt Higgins (bass) and Tyler Skode (rhythm). It was sticks-man Laredo who came up with the name Altered Throne. “It’s basically about our musical goals: What they used to be and what they are about to become.” After its CD release party, the band plans to perform regularly in and around the Lower Mainland, with a long-term goal of eventually touring

more of the province and country. Last month, Altered Throne made a splash at the Armstrong Open Air Metal Festival, and has already written more songs in an anticipation of later putting out a second CD. Hockley insists his band’s brand of metal is considerably different than what many would consider the style’s mainstream. “Typically with metal you have that thrashy sound... and constant noise,” Hockley said. “We’ve taken [our songs] to have their melodic breaks, which can be more soothing and relaxing. It’s more of a mixed bag of the metal’s genres.” Meanwhile, Port Moody’s Sonic Outcast will unveil its CD, titled Reason To Be, at the Rickshaw on Saturday at 8 p.m., with the Cut Losses, Amusia and Trout also performing. Lead vocalist Jonny Della Vera said the hard-rock band, which cites Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Rush as influences, was formed about a year ago with his brother, Jordan (guitar), and fellow Port Moody secondary grads Mischa Abalakov (guitar), Eliot Doyle (drums) and Kurtis Stangl (bass) — all of whom continue to live in Port Moody. Della Vera said the band had been scheduled to cut its album with

Shannon Hanbury (right, in orange dress), a graduate of Port Coquitlam’s Archbishop Carney regional high school, is appearing in her sixth Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) production this summer in Stanley Park. Hanbury, a student of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles, is cast as a featured female dancer in The Music Man, which closes the TUTS season on Aug. 18. Visit www.tuts.ca for more information on the show. TIM MATHESON
Sonic Outcast recorded with legendary producer continued from page 20
legendary Vancouver producer GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Nickelback) in late 2013; however, the date was bumped up several months when Richardson had an unexpected opening. “It was a bit of a shock for us to come up with 20 songs so quickly because we only had six written at the time,” Della Vera said. “We just basically
wrote and wrote and wrote.” Sonic Outcast’s 10 tracks took about a month-and-half to record — including in Richardson’s new studio, formerly the Little Mountain Sound Studio B — and the CD title reflects “what we want to do with our lives. Our reason to be is music.” The unsigned group has worked hard — and spent plenty cash as well as use free resources — to get where it is today: Doyle’s background
is jazz while Abalakov was a music engineering student at Nimbus School of Recording Arts; family and friends have also pitched in with marketing. And after the CD release? “Our aim is to just keep building our name and base,” Della Vera said. “In the beginning, you just have to give and give and give. But where you make money is at the shows, not with the CDs. “I guess we just keep going until we get bigger and bigger.”

Just almost 2 years ago Jonathan Wei turned a long time dream into reality. Tucked in the North-West outside corner of Henderson Place Mall (near Quiznos), is where you’ll find his vision. The North House Restaurant brings back a dab of nostalgia to anyone who called North China or Taiwan home. Jonathan thinks that food is one of the fondest memories and I for one think he is right. Just think of your hometown and what you still crave when you think of going back! This is what prompted him to fulfill his mission and dare I say, he’s accomplished it well! You don’t have to be from North China or Taiwan to enjoy the food here though. It is all scrumptious! The authentic menu is as diverse as it is extensive! Let’s start with Northern Chinese Dim Sum. They of course have
the ever popular Pork Pot Stickers, Steamed, deep fried and Grilled Buns, but here’s an interesting twist: Chinese Pancakes! These are light and flakey, lightly fried and come filled with Green Onion, Beef, or Sweet Red Bean Paste for dessert. Very tasty! For soups, Jonathan recommends the Spicy and Sour Soup or the Taiwanese House Special Beef Noodle Soup. A perfect warm-up for the Fall weather that will hit us sooner than we’d like! The House Specialty is their spectacular Fried Rice and the most popular dish is their Shanghai Thick Fried Noodles, followed closely by Taiwanese Crispy Chicken! Other very popular dishes are the XO Sauce Fried Rice Noodles, Beef Broccoli and Kung Pao Chicken. There are 12 choices of Hot Pots including Schezuan Style Sliced Beef in Red Hot Soup and a Fresh Tofu and Meat Ball Hot Pot and numerous other chicken, duck, beef and pork and seafood specialties as well vegetarian fare! For Seafood the Customers rave about stir fried Basa with aromatic green onions & chilli peppers. (You can turn up or down the heat on any of their dishes) At North House they make their own Tofu for their infamous Ma Po Tofu! This is served with a Black Bean Sauce or a mild Chili Sauce. Another Vegetarian choice that sounds delightful is their Fried Eggplant with Potato and Peppers in a Dark or Chili sauce. As is evident, the choices are endless and every one seems yummier than the last. By the way the prices are right too! The Lunch Special starts at $4.99! Go ahead and taste for yourself! You’ll join the North House’s growing crowd of loyal followers and soon be adding this little gem to your own memory bank!

A’s win in hot rink with hotter goalie Rose Trip Victoria 11-9 in WLA playoffs By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The only thing hotter than Bear Mountain Arena on Saturday was the play of Coquitlam Adanacs’ goalie Nick Rose. Out-shot 57-39, the A’s overcame extremely warm rink conditions and got a superb 48-save showing from Rose on way to an 11-9 triumph over the host Victoria Shamrocks. The A’s snatched home-floor advantage from the Shamrocks in the opening game in the best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinal series, with Game 2 set for Poirier Sports Complex at 7:45 p.m. today (Wednesday). “Nick played unreal, he really played unreal,” raved A’s general manager Randy Delmonico. “Our defence was very strong. They [Shamrocks] JASON JONES had the ball for a good portion of the game... I would say for two-thirds of it. “We got really out-shot but most of their shots were from the outside. As long as Nick can see the ball, we’re usually okay.” The A’s bolted to period leads of 4-2 and 9-5, then led 10-6 in the third before Victoria whipped in three straight goals to narrow the gap to one with 1:37 remaining. But Damon Edwards sealed with A’s win with an empty net marker with 28 ticks to go. “We didn’t play that well to beat that team in their own barn,” said Delmonico, who cited lost face-offs and loose balls as big factors in the Shamrocks’ dominating ball possession. “It’s nice to have won knowing we can play better.” Jason Jones sparked the A’s offence with four goals, while leading-scorer Dane Dobbie added three along with three assists. Kevin Olson pumped in a pair of markers, with singles going to Jon Harnett and Edwards. Daniel McQuade and Ryan Johnson chipped in with a pair of assists apiece.
Barzal aims for Team BC Coquitlam’s Mathew Barzal was among 28 male hockey players to be short-listed for potential participation on Team BC at the 2012 Western Canada Under-16 Challenge Cup set for Nov. 1-4 in Calgary, it was announced Tuesday. Barzal is aiming to snag one of 20 available roster spots on Team BC. A Burnaby Winter Club product, the forward Barzal was the first overall choice by the Seattle Thunderbirds at the Western Hockey League’s annual Bantam draft in May. Barzal racked up 107 points in 35 games last season.

There’s nothing better,” the 32-year-old Guloien told The Tri-City News after the race. “I’m still going to work to try to achieve better in life in some way but right now, I’m not really sure how.” Previously, the last Tri-City resident to win an Olympic medal was curler Kelley Law
of Coquitlam, who took home a bronze at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah along with teammates Julie Skinner, Georgina Wheatcroft and Diane Nelson. On Sunday, Coquitlam’s Brittany Rogers, 19, finished seventh in the women’s gymnastics vault final with 14.483 points. Rogers became the first Canadian female gymnast to make apparatus finals at both the World Championships, which she did in 2009, and an Olympic Games. Sandra Raluca Izbasa of Romania won gold with 15.191.
