Coquitlam firefighters celebrate a century
GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Transportation and Investment Corporation CEO Mike Proudfoot calls the new Cape Horn interchange in Coquitlam an “engineering marvel.”
From 1 to 150, protecting a city By Gary McKenna

THE TRI-CITY NEWS
When Coquitlam’s first fire department opened its doors in 1912, it was staffed by one person — part-time. Const. Emeri Pare was given the task of dealing with the district’s policing and fire needs at a time when infrastructure and mobility in the area were limited. “He was the police chief and the fire chief,” said today’s Coquitlam assistant chief Scott MacKenzie. “He was the only guy.” Fa s t - fo r w a rd 1 0 0 years and Coquitlam Fire Rescue has more than 150 paid professional members and 35 auxiliaries, not to mention a host of trucks and equipment not available
“He was the police chief and the fire chief. He was the only guy.” Scott MacKenzie on Emeri Pare

tennial with a ceremonial presentation by Coquitlam Fire Rescue’s honour guard at the city’s Spirit Square
(3000 Burlington Dr.). The event will be followed by a community barbecue. For firefighters such
as MacKenzie, this weekend’s celebration will showcase to the public how the department has changed over the last century. Little is known about how the fire and rescue operations worked in Pare’s time but MacKenzie notes that unlike New Westminster or Vancouver, Coquitlam never had a major, citywide fire during the municipality’s early years. see PAID STAFF STAFF,, page A8
Changes for local motorists 3 bridge lanes to open, major Cape Horn work By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Motorists will get their first chance to drive on the new Port Mann Bridge later this month when three lanes of Highway 1 eastbound will be transitioned from the old bridge to the new crossing on Tuesday, Sept. 18. The full eight-lane opening will not be completed until December, however, with two more lanes expected to be added in 2013 following the demolition of the on-ramps leading up to the old bridge. Construction crews will also work to shift L o u g h e e d H i g h w ay eastbound to a new and final alignment south of Highway 1 and a
new overpass connecting westbound bridge traffic to the Lougheed Highway is expected to be open on Sept. 19. But the busiest weekend for construction crews will likely be Sept. 22 to 23, when workers will perform what Transpor tation and Investment Corporation CEO Mike Proudfoot calls an “engineering marvel.” That is when the overpass — the longest in the entire project — is completed and opened in a single weekend, connecting the Lougheed Highway westbound to Highway 1 eastbound. “On that Monday mor ning, this work will allow drivers to do in seconds what today takes minutes,” Proudfoot said during a press conference at the construction site Wednesday morning. see MAJOR CAPE CAPE,, page A16

W
hile Canadians lace up their runners next Sunday to raise money for the charity named after Port Coquitlam hero Terry Fox, hundreds of Canadian soldiers will also be joining the cause in a dusty, wartorn land thousands of kilometres from home. Among those taking part in the annual Terry Fox Run on Sept. 16 will be servicemen and women from Camp KAIA-N, based at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. Run organizer RCAF Maj. Art Brown, a cancer survivor who has taken part in Fox Runs with his grandchildren in Manitoba, said his course will be a 5- and 10-km circuit around the base; funds raised from the event will go to the Terry Fox Foundation, which in its 31 years has collected half of billion dollars to aid cancer research. And while Brown and his comrades are committed, other factors could get in the way of the run. “There are so many things that can affect the outcome,” he said. “Although our camps are relatively secure areas, we must al-

other nations will have participants,” Brown said, such as the United Kingdom and the U.S. Lt. Col. Paul Hale said Camp Eggers will host its Terry Fox Run at the International Security Assistance Force compound on Sept. 14 — a Friday, which is the
Afghan equivalent of a weekend and a slow day. “Due to the security situation and possibilities of Taliban attacks, it is not feasible or safe to do runs in open areas,” he wrote in his email. Camp Eggers plans to raise at least $5,000 and will be making a
symbolic presentation to Canadian ambassador Glenn Davidson at the end of the run, Hale said. Judith Fox-Alder, the foundation’s international director, said the organization is proud of the Terry Fox Run efforts made by Canadian military around the world.
“Terry Fox is an excellent role model for Canadian soldiers as his story of finding a cure for cancer is one of great heroism and courage,” she said. “We are very grateful and honoured that the Canadian military wish to organize Terry Fox events in
Kabul despite the challenges they face on a daily basis. “Their courage and bravery keeps us in a constant state of gratitude.”

Civic union negotiations to come in Tri-Cities New West signed for 6.75% raise By Janis Warren and Jeff Nagel THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Presidents of civic union locals in the TriCities say they hope to get to the bargaining table this fall to renew their contracts. CUPE locals representing unionized city employees have been without collective agreements since Dec. 31, 2011 while the firefighters’ contracts expired on Dec. 31, 2009. Brian Savage, presi-
dent of CUPE Local 498 (which represents Port Coquitlam city staff), and Dale Truscott, president of IAFF Local 1941 (which represents PoCo firefighters), said they anticipate meeting with city managers later this month to discuss proposed wage hikes and contract language. The two PoCo locals negotiate directly with the city and not through Metro Vancouver labour relations. In Coquitlam, deputy city manager John Dumont said he expects CUPE 386, which represents civic workers, to start negotiations soon.
(A call to the CUPE office was not returned by The Tri-City News’’ deadline Thursday). The bargaining movement comes after New Westminster last month signed a collective agreement with its civic workers that will see pay hikes of 6.75% over four years. It is the first contract to be inked with municipal workers in Metro Vancouver and will likely set the bar for other bargaining committees. Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation said the salary jump will hit the bottom line
for many municipalities and said he had pressed for a civic equivalent of the province’s net-zero mandate that froze labour costs for two years. “It’s another example of a city hall caving to CUPE and signing a deal that’s good for those [union] members and not so good for taxpayers,” he said. Bateman worries the Royal City agreement is the start of a replay of 2007, when Richmond broke ranks with other cities and g ave its unionized workers an extra 17.5% over five years to secure labour peace through the 2010
Olympics. That became the pattern for the rest of the region as other cities signed with their CUPE locals. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, which lobbies for civic cost control, also expressed concern that other cities may fall in line. CFIP spokesperson Shachi Kurl said it’s too early to say whether the New West deal sets a precedent for other unionized wage increases and noted each city varies in its ability to pay and other unique circumstances. But she said it could be a factor. “Even if you
have a restraint-minded council or finance director who may want to rein [labour costs] in, that becomes very difficult when all your neighbours are going in a different direction,” Kurl said. The New Westminster deal — ratified by the union with 97% support by members — is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012 and includes increases of 1.25% this year, 1.75% in each of the next two years and 2% in 2015. CUPE Local 387 business agent George Habib called it a fair contract and said municipal bargaining can’t reasonably be compared
to the province’s netzero freeze on union pay. He said the union has a good relationship with New Westminster and saw no point in waiting for one of the bigger cities in the region to strike the first deal. The issue of unionized workers’ pay was raised last fall at TriCity municipal all-candidates’ meetings, with many Coquitlam council incumbents and challengers vowing to take a “hard line” against rising wages at city hall. jwarren@tricitynews.com – with files from Grant Granger, Burnaby NewsLeader

Cheaper tolls with Polak? Bold reforms unlikely before election: Price By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
E x p e c t n e w Transportation Minister Mary Polak to offer cutrate introductory tolls on the new Port Mann Bridge and find a way to launch the stalled express bus service over it from Langley to Burnaby. That’s the prediction from SFU City Program director Gordon Price after the Langley MLA was named to replace former minister Blair Lekstrom, who this week joined a flood of retiring BC Liberals. Price said both telegraphed moves would please constituents south of the Fraser River and said it would be “just too embarrassing� if the government opened the bridge without the promised transit route, despite the construction of dedicated lanes and a giant new park-and-ride. He expects $2 tolls or maybe even just a loonie for the first year to sweeten the bitter medicine of paid crossings of the Fraser River via the expanded Highway 1. But Price said he doubts the BC Liberals and Polak will make any bolder moves ahead of next May’s election to reform TransLink’s funding and allow it to embark on the much broader transit expansion local mayors say is necessary.
“What was once a promising transportation future for Metro Vancouver has turned into an unsatisfying debacle until new leadership emerges,� he said. Mayors had sought either a vehicle levy, road pricing or other new sources to fund expansion but Premier Christy Clark ruled them all out until after an audit of TransLink finances, due to report soon. Meanwhile, the hole to fill through cost-cutting has deepened, with TransLink now estimating a $75 million annual shortfall on its current plan. “I think it’s just a holding position until the election,� he said of Clark’s choice of Polak. “It only puts off any serious talk of funding for Surrey or Broadway rapid transit.� New Democrats have given little sign of what they would do with TransLink either, Price said, adding he hopes the agency’s future becomes an election issue. He said Lekstrom, although overruled by Clark in the debate on new funding, “established a lot of goodwill� with the mayors, despite coming from B.C.’s far northeast. Metro mayors will keep pressing for TransLink governance and funding reforms, said Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, vice-chair of the mayors council. “I don’t think the work can afford to wait until the next election,� he said. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Thief steals wire, fun By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The fun will go on at the fifth annual Art Knapp’s Funland this fall despite a break-in last week that resulted in thousands of dollars in damage. Art Knapp owner Wim Vander Zalm discovered the damage last Thursday morning: expensive tools used to set up the rides had been stolen and the thief cut the large cables that power the rides, presumably for the tiny copper wires inside. “A chunk of wire might be worth a few bucks but to repair it is thousands,” Vander Zalm said. “But to take it from rides that are going to entertain kids is pathetic. That’s a real demented mind.” Instead of putting the finishing touches on Funland, due to open Sept. 22, Vander Zalm is just hoping the new cables and ends — being flown in from Germany — will arrive on time and that they’ll be the right ones. “It’s just sad because we were prepping to be open and Home Depot doesn’t sell these,” he joked. Vander Zalm has also brought in two extra elec-

He expects it will likely cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 to repair all the damage. Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson said no suspects have been identified. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604945-1550 and quote file number 2012-23918.

• Funland, set to run Sept. 22 to Oct. 31, features kids’ rides, a haunted tunnel (as well as a less-
spooky version for little ones), haybale rides a zipline and more. The free event (some rides require tickets) raises money for juvenile diabetes; last year, Art Knapp’s Funland raised about $10,000.

Paid staff in ’60s continued from front page
In the 1940s, the first pieces of what would become the Coquitlam Volunteer Firemen’s Association were put in place and by 1968, the department was staffed with paid professionals. MacKenzie notes that there have even been major changes to the department during the 32 years that he has worked in Coquitlam. “The biggest change is how much we have grown,” he said. “In 1980, when I came in, my group brought it up to about 90 paid firefighters. Today, we are approximately over 150.” MacKenzie said he hopes members of the community will join firefighters during this weekend’s Spirit Square activities. On top of the ceremonial presentation and barbecue, there will be equipment demonstrations, face painting, interactive exhibits and a

ang in there. That’s what Port Mann Highway 1 project officials are asking drivers to do in the coming weeks as key components of the Cape Horn interchange and bridge approach are put into place. For months, drivers have witnessed seemingly daily changes to the landscape along the freeway and adjacent Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam and more changes are in the works as new overpasses are connected and three lanes of the bridge open later this month. Some nightly closures have been put in place, requiring detours, and many drivers have responded by changing their routes or altering their schedules. There has been the occasional glitch but, for the most part, daytime commuters have been little affected. Kudos go to Kiewit-Flatiron and the Transportation Investment Corporation for keeping traffic flowing during PMH1 construction.

Building pride as ‘just’ a stay-at-home mom AS I SEE IT Kristine Salzmann After transitioning from reporter to mom, she struggles with the decision
“S
o, what do you do?” One thing I’ve noticed since my transition from reporter on maternity leave to official stay-at-home mom is how I answer that question. I’m ashamed to say I respond a bit sheepishly: “I’m a stay-at-home mom...” And there’s always a “but.” “But I used to work as a reporter.” “But I do some freelance work.” “But I’ll go back to work after we have a second child once he/she is old enough for pre-school.” Why do I feel the need to justify to strang-

ers and friends my choice to “just” be a mother? Often, it’s when I think about my highachieving female friends that I feel a stab of guilt. The amazing women I developed relationships with in university and beyond are now completing medical school residencies, finishing up PhDs and generally achieving more prominent career posts than their male counterparts. Most will complete their education and establish their careers before they have children, likely in their mid-30s, like many women these days. (In 2008, 49.6% of Canadian women who gave birth were 30 years old or older.) My girlfriends think it’s great that I am the primary caregiver for my daughter at a time when families tend to need two working parents to afford the cost of living. (According to Statistics Canada, in 2009, 72.9% of women with children under the age of 16 worked, and 64.4% with children under

“After putting six years of my life into post-secondary education, I want people to know I’m educated. And then there’s the presumption that I should be doing something with that education. Yet I am doing something with it.” Kristine Salzmann the age of three). Heck, my husband is jealous and wishes we could switch places. The judgment is mainly self-inflicted, and I’ve struggled to figure out why. Perhaps I feel like a bit of a sellout in the ongoing battle for equal pay and opportunity, when only 4% of Fortune 500 CEOs are fe-
males (according to the non-profit organization Catalyst). More so — I hate to say it — I think my feeling of self-worth has taken a hit. I love being with my daughter on a day-to-day basis, watching her grow and learn. But any woman can be mother. You don’t need to pass a test or complete a Masters thesis. There is no bar set or glass ceiling to break. After putting six years of my life into postsecondary education, I want people to know I’m educated. And then there’s the presumption that I should be doing something with that education. Yet I am m doing something with it. While any woman can be a mother, my experiences will shape what kind of mother I am and will be. It will take some practice to drop the “buts.” In my internal monologue, I’ll aim to replace that insertion of “just” in front of “stay-at-home mom” to “a darn good.” How’s that for self-worth? Kristine Salzmann is a former Black Press reporter and mom to a 14-month-old baby girl.

JIM NELSON
Get people out of their vehicles etro Vancouver should consider moving toward a free public transit system. I know, I know, it sounds way too Scandinavian. But the idea of free transit is not as farfetched as it seems at first incredulous gulp. San Francisco is considering the idea. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — hardly a lefty — favours free transit. And many cities around the world already offer free transit, not the least of which is Seattle in its downtown. While it might take some time, moving towards free public transit is an environmentally worthy goal — certainly more worthy than our current goal of extorting as much as possible from transit users. Revenue from transit fares supplies only one third of Translink’s annual budget. Rather than spend millions trying to put the cap back on the bottle, let’s embrace public transit, make it comprehensive and make it free, funded by Metro Vancouverites, the province, and the feds. It would cost a lot of money but it would save a lot too. It would save $171 million on fare gates.
It would save the up to 22% of revenue it costs for fare collection, millions on enforcement processes and some of the $12.7 million per year we pay for transit police. It would save the $2.4 million Translink spends each year to supply passes, transfers and tickets, and to collect and count money — and there would be no reason for fare evaders to spit on bus drivers. More importantly, free transit in Metro Vancouver would be a bold and heroic environmental statement to the world. We want to get people out of cars and lower our collective carbon footprint, yet we raise transit fares — 50% since 2000 with another increase imminent, after which it will cost a family of four $30 to take transit downtown and back. And while transit users pay more, we subsidize car drivers. Government pays for roads, bridges, parking, automobile and oil company subsidies and tax breaks, and business transportation deductions. As Vancouver transit consultant Dave Olsen puts it: “Here we are without any doubts about global warming, and we’re tolling the people who are moving in the way we want them to move and subsidizing those who are not.”

Austin crook strikes – next to cop shop By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Being located next door to a community police station was not enough to deter a robber from holding up the Remedy’s Rx drug store on Ridgeway Avenue last month. Aaron Jaeck, manager of the shop, said he was shocked at how brazen the thief was. “It was pretty gutsy of him,” he said. “I guess it is just one of those things.” The incident at Remedy’s Rx is one of a string of robberies that have hit the Austin Heights neighbourhood over the last few weeks and Jaeck said many business owners are concerned. “There has always been robberies,” he said. “It just seems in the last little while, they have really increased in frequency.” C o q u i t l a m RC M P will not confirm how many stores have been robbed but Const. Jamie Phillipson said o f f i c e r s h ave b e e n working closely with the Austin Heights Business Improvement Association and are encouraging business owners to report any suspicious activity. Last month, police released a description of a suspect who they believe is involved in at least three of the robberies in the area. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man between 20 and 24 years old who is 6’ to 6’2” tall and weighs approximately 190 to 215 lb.; he has dark brown hair. In all three previous robberies, he was seen wearing a black hoodie with a red logo, a black balaclava and gloves. While Phillipson said the description is still relevant, he could not confirm whether police believe the suspect is the same one involved in several robberies since their press release last month. “There is a lot of rumours flying around with these robberies,” he said, “but it is important that we stick to the details that we know when it comes to the investigation.” So far, he said the robberies have been isolated to the Austin Heights area and police believe the suspect or suspects may live in the neighbourhood. Jae Park, general manager of Inno Bread and Buns Bakery, said the recent spate of robberies is concerning for all business owners in the area. While he still

Tips from police for business owners to help prevent robberies: • Make sure windows are not covered by signs or merchandise. • Pay attention to suspicious activities around the business. • Adjust lighting so entrances are well lit. • Don’t keep large amounts of cash on hand. • Ensure video surveillance equipment is working properly.

believes the possibility of a robbery at his store is remote, he has posted information in the staff room instructing workers on what to do in case of a hold-up. “ N o b o dy h a s a t tempted a robbery at our store,” he said. “We always have four or five staff on, so maybe that is why. But I’m not really sure.” Despite the string of incidents, Rosemarie Bella, owner of Rosemarie’s Treasures, said she believes the neighbourhood is safe. She added that the BIA has hired an extra security guard to patrol the area. “In 28 years that I have been here, I have never been freaked out or anything,” she said. “I sure would like him to be caught, though.” San Lee, owner of Lucky Loonie Dollar Store, said his business was broken into last year but thieves were scared off by his alarm system. He has heard of other businesses in the area being held up but has never had someone come into his business and demand cash from the register.

Evergreen work in PM
Ramon Lim, Lisa Deboni, James Fitzpatrick and Tanya Beveridge wave to drivers during the BCGEU’s one-day strike Wednesday. The job action closed B.C. liquor stores and employees say they are fighting privatization and seeking wage improvements. Besides liquor store employees, thousands of other BCGEU members, including corrections workers at the North Fraser Pre-trail Centre also in PoCo, walked off the job Wednesday.
Three buildings on Spring Street will be getting a makeover to make way for the Evergreen Line. The light industrial buildings in the 3000block of Spring Street will be modified to allow for the construction of the Evergreen guideway along the railway tracks in Port Moody. The Ministry of Transportation has just issued the tender for the project, which is expected to begin this fall and wrap up by early next year. Motorists may encounter minimal traffic disruptions and businesses in the area will be notified in advance if required. The work is part of early construction work that will pave the way for the Evergreen Line. Other such projects include the widening of North Road.

Cash-for-kids not likely an issue in Tri-Cities SD43 puts cash into class size, says union head

The Cape Horn interchange, the province’s busiest highway connector, will undergo a revamping through the end of the month — “a mega project within a mega project.” weekend and the last weekend of the month. “We know this is some inconvenience and we apologize for that,” he said. “But we are asking everyone hang in there for a few more months. A fast Port Mann bridge is on the way.” A tolling framework for the new bridge is still
in the works, he added, noting that tolls will not be in place until the December opening. Proudfoot said the construction that is taking place at the Cape Horn interchange and on the Port Mann bridge is comparable to some of the largest infrastructure projects in North
America. He noted that more than 120,000 vehicles cross the Port Mann bridge each day, 15% higher than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, which has one more lane. After the first eight lanes of the bridge are open in December, work will immediately begin
Sept. 16 — Lougheed Highway eastbound will be shifted to its final alignment. Sept. 18 — Highway 1 eastbound traffic will shift from the old Port Mann Bridge to the new crossing. Sept. 19 — A new overpass connecting Highway 1 westbound to Lougheed eastbound will open. Sept. 24 — A new overpass connecting Lougheed westbound to Highway 1 eastbound will open.

Experience the benefits of Low Intensity Laser Light Therapy “My name is Lisa Porcellato and I received treatment on my right knee. I am a fitness instructor and I instruct several types of classes per week and I jog a couple of times per week as well. I was experiencing sharp pain directly under my knee cap. I came in for 5 treatments and after 3 I noticed a huge improvement. I am now resuming all of my fitness activities and my knee feels great. I have recommended laser light therapy to several people.” ~ Lisa Porcellato “After several weeks of suffering I thought I had nothing to lose by giving laser treatment a try. After only 6 treatments I could walk again (short distances) and following the full course of treatments (14) my knee was back to 90% of where it was before I over-exerted the knee. I am now driving without pain and can walk a couple of miles without problem. I would thoroughly recommend anyone with knee pain consider a course of laser treatment.” ~ Gerry O’Hara

“This is critical work and we worked hard to allow this to happen in the shortest period of time while keeping the road safe for workers and motorists.” While the new bridge is one of the more visible components of the construction project, Proudfoot said much of the Highway 1 construction on the approaches to the bridge is critical. He called the Cape Horn interchange construction a “mega project within a mega project” and said that it will be an important part of reducing travel times for drivers. But the run-up to the December opening will not be without challenges for Highway 1 motorists. Proudfoot is asking drivers to use caution when travelling through the construction site and encourages people to avoid the area altogether during the crucial Sept. 22

S
ummer holidays may be a thing of the past, but that just means there are more family fun events on deck for the weekend. Keep the kids busy enough and they’ll forget all about the lazy hazy days gone by.
TODAY: Friday, Sept. 7 FILL ‘ER UP
The Share food bank is down to nearly-bare shelves, and desperately needs the community’s help to stock things up for Tri-City families until the Christmas giving season kicks in. The second Food Bank Fill Up takes place at PriceSmart Foods in Pinetree Village (formerly Save-On Foods) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., where volunteers will be taking donations to fill an empty semi-trailer. Dry goods (beans, canned tomatoes, cereal, etc.) are needed, or pre-packaged hampers are available for $10 or $15.
SECOND TO LAST
Time’s running out for the Coquitlam Farmers Market at Spirit Square (next to city hall). The Friday afternoon markets wrap up on Sept. 14, so take advantage and drop by between 3 and 7 p.m. for delicious late-summer produce, baked goods and more.
Saturday, Sept. 8 HURRY HARD
Curling is a blast — learn why at the Port Moody Curling Club one-day learn-to-curl clinic, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Port Moody recreation centre (300 Ioco Rd.). Whether you’re new to the sport (and the lingo, which is half the fun) or
you’ve been sweeping madly for ages, the clinic will have you hooked. The clinic costs $35 and includes instruction and lunch. Registration is required by visiting www.portmoodycurling.ca or calling 604-461-3719.
FALL FAIR

FRUIT FUNDRAISER
Kin’s Farm Market is celebrating its 25th anniversary with games, lucky draws, fruit sampling and fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society. In the last three years, Kin’s has raised more than $60,000 and hopes to raise the bar this year while educating the community about healthy eating and cancer prevention. Drop by any of the three Kin’s locations in the Tri-Cities (Newport Village, Oxford Village in PoCo and Coquitlam Centre at Northern Avenue) between 10 and 3 p.m. today.
WALK ON

Sunday, Sept. 9 GET ACTIVE
Fall is a great time to get up and get active, especially for the 50+ set.

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Legion $ for Crossroads POPPIES, PAINT Port Moody’s Crossroads Hospice benefitted from two groups last month — a donation from a Legion branch and a contribution from a Tri-City business. Members of the annual poppy campaign at Coquitlam’s Royal Canadian Legion handed over $3,000 to the facility while staff at Benjamin Moore Tri-City Paint in Port Coquitlam rolled in $800 for the society. “We are so pleased to be able to help raise funds for this much-needed resource in our community. We supplied the paint when the hospice was built and continue, in whatever ways we can, to stay committed to Crossroads,” said store owner Thoma Doehring in a news release this week. PHOTOS SUBMITTED

Tri-City residents are once again being challenged to walk, run or stroll up the popular Coquitlam Crunch hiking trail tomorrow (Saturday) in the third annual Coquitlam Crunch Challenge. The purpose of the Coquitlam Crunch Challenge: Embracing Diversity is to raise money for a Diversity Fund with the Coquitlam Foundation for initiatives that embrace diversity in Coquitlam. Through the Coquitlam Foundation, the fund would provide community grants to organizations and schools that undertake projects that promote diversity awareness, respect and integration for any one of the eight diversity dimensions: ages, faiths, cultures, sexual orientation, mental and physical abilities, gender, socio-economic level and ethnicity. The walk begins in the lacrosse box parking lot beside Scott Creek middle school at an elevation of 33 m and goes up a well-marked gravel trail that accommodates the sure-footed hiker up the initial steep section of the trail to an elevation of 134 m, eventually reaching Bramble Park — with tennis courts, sports fields and washroom facilities — before finishing at Eagle Mountain Drive — a total elevation gain of 250 m from the starting point. There are two categories of entry: • Make it or Break It starts at 6:30 a.m. and finishes at 6:30 p.m., with entrants aiming to walk the entire trail 10 times or more over the 12-hour period; • family recreational category goes from 10 a.m. to noon, walking the entire trail at least once. The suggested donation from entrants is $20 for adults and $10 for youths. For more information on the Coquitlam Foundation, go to coquitlamfoundation.com.

GEORGIA STRAIT ALLIANCE
The number and size of tankers navigating Burrard Inlet will increase greatly with the twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline between northern Alberta and Burnaby, according to a speaker at next week’s meeting of Burke Mountain Naturalists in Coquitlam.

NOW UNTIL SEPTEMBER 23!
Join the celebration Enjoy big savings & events, plus thousands of bonus points!
Georgia Strait Alliance rep to speak The proposed twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline to carry diluted bitumen from Alberta to a coastal terminus in Burnaby has received less attention than the proposed Enbridge pipeline in northern B.C. But the planned Kinder Morgan expansion would mean a huge jump in the number and size of tankers on Burrard Inlet and in the Strait of Georgia, and The Georgia Strait Alliance is encouraging local residents to get informed about this proposal. The executive director of the organization, Christianne Wilhelmson, will present a slide show on this issue Sept. 11 at the monthly meeting of the Burke Mountain Naturalists. The Georgia Strait Alliance is concerned about potential spills of heavy tar-like bitumen, and suggests that communities should focus not on pipeline expansion but on transitioning to new, sustainable sources of energy. At the same meeting, BMN member Kiyoshi Takahashi, whose photos have appeared many times in The Tri-City News, will give a short slide presentation on the successful barn owl nest he monitored via videocam this past summer. The BMN meeting is free and all are welcome to attend. It will be held at 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday in the hall of Como Lake United Church (located on the corner of Marmont Street and King Albert Avenue in Coquitlam). For more information, please call 604-936-4108 or 604-461-3864, or visit www.bmn.bc.ca. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Is Treefest 2012 a turning point? GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds
ready to once again face the challenges of modern life. It is easy to believe the original designers of Riverview had just such experiences in mind when they designed Riverview to be a special therapeutic and healing place for the mentally ill.
R’view future is up in the air
T
he future of the Riverview Hospital lands will be hanging in the balance this fall. First, there are two public meetings to review the input and stories received through the Heritage Conservation planning process, which took place this past May and June. (Details on these two meetings are at the end of this column). Once the heritage planning process is finalized, attention will then shift to public discussion regarding possible future uses of the Riverview site. This land use planning process is expected to take place throughout the autumn and go into early 2013. Don’t be surprised if a few real estate developers show up to participate. Riverview certainly holds a place of great significance in the history of our area. It was established as a caring and innovative treatment facility for the mentally ill in 1913, and patients at Essondale (as it was then called) were given opportunities for fresh air, regular exercise and nutritious food as they assisted at Colony Farm with growing produce and managing prizewinning herds of milk cows, draft horses and sheep. By the 1950s, the patient population had grown to more than 4,700 and the hospital, which provided “a home away from home� for many patients, was a source of community pride and employment for local residents. The development of modern drugs led to the gradual downsizing of Riverview’s patient population. But drugs alone will never be a full solution and there is a continuing need for more mental health care beds. Some patients remain in care on the Riverview site in three new buildings operated by the Fraser Health Authority or as recovering patients from the Forensic Psychiatric Institute Unit in some of the older cottages. But the last patients cared for under the auspices of Riverview Hospital were officially transferred over the summer. Many people in the community still feel
SAY YOUR PIECE
JOHN DAVIDSON PHOTO
This photo of what is now called the West Lawn Building at Riverview was taken about 1913 by B.C.’s first provincial botanist, John Davidson.
Treefest on Sept. 15 This year, the 19th annual Treefest to celebrate Riverview’s trees will take place on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. With the unfortunate closure of the buildings, indoor presentations can no longer be given but tree and heritage building tours will continue along with displays from various community groups. Once again, tree tours will be conducted by knowledgeable people such as Doug Justice from the UBC Botanical Garden. In addition, Don Luxton, a Vancouver architect and author with a keen interest in historical buildings, will provide an informative walking tour of some of Riverview’s most outstanding heritage buildings. For people who are interested in contributing some ideas for Riverview’s future uses, these tours will provide an excellent overview of what the site has to offer. Riverview is an ideal place to provide much needed mental health care services for patients suffering from dementia and other disorders. Throughout its history, Riverview has always provided close connections with nature. John Davidson, B.C.’s first provincial botanist, arrived from Scotland in 1911 and immediately started
collecting native plants from all over the province. He maintained these plants and studied their growth habits in gardens at Essondale. When Davidson moved to the newly established University of British Columbia a few years later, he took most of these plants with him to form the foundation of what is now the UBC Botanical Garden. Landscaping on
Essondale’s grounds was modelled after traditional English country estates and was initially conducted under the attentive management of Jack Renton, who had trained at world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in England. Renton’s influence and that of subsequent master gardeners can still be seen in the careful placement of some of the original trees in Riverview’s fabulous tree collection. While Riverview’s tree collection is one of the site’s most inspiring attributes, people who come to enjoy the trees often feel it is the magical combination of heritage buildings juxtaposed with thoughtfully planted and interesting tree specimens that creates such a unique experience. The gracious and curvaceous expanses of lawn continually unfold to reveal new aspects of appealing viewscapes. The changing seasons add even more nuances to Riverview’s landscapes. To stroll through the Riverview grounds is to feel first becalmed, then rejuvenated and, finally,

A
couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to speak at the International Heather Society’s meeting in Victoria and, by chance, I had the great luck to meet Kurt Kramer and his wife from Germany. Kurt is the heather breeder who not only developed the very popular Erica ‘Kramer’s Red’ but, more importantly, the world renowned ‘bud bloom’ heathers. How important are these in the world of heathers? Well, more than 90 million are sold each year in Germany alone. What is a ‘bud bloom’ heather? They are special calluna varieties whose buds show colour but never fully open. Unlike other callunas, they look fresh for months, often lasting from late summer into fall and even winter. In speaking with Kurt, two things started this process of developing these plants. He felt there was a need for a better heather variety for the tradition of putting heathers on European graves, especially in late November during All Saints’ Day. Most of the non-hardy calluna varieties turned brown rather quickly. The trigger for his breeding program was the discovery of a very late blooming calluna he had found in Holland. From this discovery not only was he able to develop longer blooming cultivars, but their hardiness was also astounding. With proper planting and location, they will tolerate zone 4. With good winter protection, some success is found in zone 3. This hardiness factor, along with their long blooming habit, now opens up doors for heathers to be planted where they could never be used before. As the weather turns wet and frosty in late fall, they fill the gap before the winter ericas begin to bloom. Most varieties are reasonably compact, growing only 12 to 14 inches (30 to 40 cm) tall with a spread of 16 inches (40 cm). Their foliage colour varies from a rich dark green and mid-green to yellow. Their flowering times vary slightly, but they will usually look great from August through November and some even into December. This long bloom time now makes them equivalent to many winter blooming varieties and can give many gardens, with the addition of early blooming callunas, a year round heather garden. Here are some of Kurt Kramer’s favourite
604-942-7214
Dwayne Giesbrecht
bud bloom varieties: • ‘Alicia’ — still the very best white and very long flowering; • ‘Amethist’ — very best purple and has a nice upright form; • ‘Athene’ — striking stiff, upright stems with bright red flowers, makes quite a statement; • ‘Rosita’ — has very large dark pink buds and a nice stiff, upright habit; • ‘Sandy’ — white buds and yellow foliage contrast nicely and last well into fall; a nice accent plant for containers and small space gardens; • ‘Theresa’ — another winner with year round yellow foliage; its bright pink buds stand out well, making it a great accent plant. Kurt has named this collection the ‘Garden Girls’ and we are very fortunate to have all of these varieties available here on the West Coast. Another innovation with bud bloomers is ‘Twin Girls’, where growers plant a bud bloomer variety and a foliage cultivar like ‘Zeta’ or ‘Zora’ together for a unique colour contrast. ‘Girl Trios’, where three different bud bloomers are grown together as one plant, have also become very popular. These plants are ideally suited for containers and will also create a very nice effect in small and large space gardens. Other breeders are now taking a look at the potential of bud bloomers and Dutch breeders have come up with a series of their own called ‘Beauty Ladies’. This new bud bloom innovation in callunas will make a great contribution to so many gardens and it will be truly exciting to see where it goes from here. I am writing about these heathers now because they are out in garden stores everywhere just waiting for a home in your garden or on your patio.

‘A low-maintenance lifestyle’
g a home at Edgewater The recent increase in multi-family construction projects is a burgeoning trend. While many people still prefer a single-family home, buyers are flocking to developments that offer apartments or townhomes. “It’s a low-maintenance lifestyle,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing Cristy Edmonds. Edgewater, by Barber Creek Developments in South Surrey, is one multi-family development that has seen sales boom since it opened for sale last year. Edmonds says that many of their buyers have been downsizers. “They don’t need the space anymore,”
she says. “It’s also become more socially acceptable” to live in a condominium or townhouse, plus the perks of no longer having to do your own maintenance. Edgewater is particularly popular for several reasons. “A project like this won’t be replicated again,” Edmonds says. “It’s one of a kind.” Only five homes now remain in the project. But what about the privacy that is often inherent in a single-family home? Though you might be giving up your backyard, many condo developments now include a private balcony or patio with every suite. It will be your own private piece of solitude, even in the middle of the bustling Lower Mainland.
we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “SOLO District will have everything anyone needs within a short distance. Buyers will not only get access to fresh produce at Whole Foods, but easily accessible transit via the SkyTrain, short commutes to downtown Vancouver, (and) car-sharing options through Modo.” The homes have appealed to people of all demographics, from first-time buyers to those choosing to downsize. “Our first SOLO buyer ... was a firsttime homebuyer in her late 20s who had grown up in the area,” says Bosa. “Like many other buyers she knew the area well, saw the potential in the community and wanted to be a part of it.” The bottom floor of the towers at SOLO District will hold retail and commercial space. Whole Foods is just one of the amazing shops that will be moving in to the community. Other amenities at SOLO District include a fully fenced rooftop dog park, a fitness studio with a sauna and steam rooms, and a covered rooftop terrace barbecue area, among several other things. Each unit comes with a secured
basement storage room and a one-year membership to Modo Car Share with three dedicated vehicles. Along with the car-share program, there are also electric car charging stations and four car wash bays. The neighbourhood itself is close to several schools, from elementary to post-secondary at Simon Fraser University and the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Restaurants and shopping are within walking distance, including Brentwood Town Centre. Recreation is also within easy reach with a variety of gyms, community centres and other leisure activities. “SOLO District proves that market strength exists for a strong community concept, which is exactly what Appia ... has created here at Brentwood,” says Wong. “The best developments will counter any negative real estate market trends.” In fact, buyers lined up for two hours on opening day on July 21. The next release of homes is scheduled for sometime in the fall. Homes start at $229,900. For more information, check out www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.
‘A strong community concept’
Appia builds on community demand with SOLO by Kerry Vital
Appia Development has combined a fantastic location, great value and stunning homes in their newest development, SOLO District in the Brentwood area of Burnaby. “We quickly realized that community demand was there and that people wanted to start buying,” says Appia President Jim Bosa. “We decided to release a few homes as an introductory release and we’ve had an excellent response. We’ve sold out our first release and we’re also oversubscribed for the next round.” It’s no wonder they’re all sold out with the array of gorgeous features that are included in the homes at SOLO District, which stands for South of Lougheed. Imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry in the kitchen that is perfectly complemented by the polished quartz countertops and quartz slab backsplash and modern stainlesssteel appliances are just a taste of what’s to come in your new home. The engineered wood flooring in the entry,
kitchen and living areas is offset by the custom roller blinds on the windows and durable nylon carpeting in the bedrooms, while the nine-foot ceilings and seven-foot entry and interior doors lend themselves to the huge sense of space you feel when you enter your home. Beautiful panoramic views of the North Shore mountains and downtown Vancouver greet you from every angle, while two designer colour schemes (Grigio and Noce) make it easier to make your home your own. SOLO District is split into four sleek glass towers, ranging from 38 to 48 storeys that will include more than 1,400 homes. The first phase, Stratus, holds nearly 400 condominium homes at 45 storeys. The other phases will be named Altus, Cirrus and Aerius. Buyers will be able to take occupancy in early 2015. “We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way
“
We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects.

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
M
y mother and aunt talk nearly every day and, all too often, the subject of weight comes up. Both are retired (with lots of time on their hands) and inactive (although far from lazy), yet they ramble at length about how to shed the pounds. I can’t tell you how many seasons I’ve heard: “We’re going to Weight Watchers” or “I found this new program. We’re going to try it.” It lasts a week or two then fizzles because someone gets busy or somebody’s back/hip/knee is sore. Recently, they’ve noticed I’ve trimmed up a little over the summer thanks to a fitness challenge I’m taking at the Port Moody recreation complex. I work out — including once a month with a personal trainer — take spin and yoga classes, and, soon, I hope to incorporate aerobics. I also chart my diet every day. see HEALTHY,, HAPPY,, ACTIVE, C , page g A43 3
GET FIT
Over the next four months, Tri-City News reporters Sarah Payne and Janis Warren will be reporting on programs and services available at the Port Moody recreation complex as part of a weightloss/get fit campaign. Other Tri-City News staffers participating are publisher Nigel Lark, who’s rehab-ing a bad back, and advertising consultant Monica Ariken. On these pages are the third instalments in Payne and Warren’s wellness diaries...

Melanie Montgomery (left) and Rebecca Lyne (right) are heading new and returning programs for children and youth at the Port Moody recreation complex this fall.
ith kids back to school, they’re trading in long summer days of running and exploring outside for books, pencils and homework. But if you’re looking for ways to keep them active, energized and in the great outdoors as much as possible, the Port Moody recreation centre has several new and returning programs designed for youngsters. In Fairytale Fitness, kids aged five to seven years can build confidence as they stoke their creative fires while exploring the natural world around them. The program is led by a certified fitness instructor and includes yoga, nature walks, storytelling, dress-up and plenty of physical activity, with everything from dancing to marching and hopping. Fitness instructor Melanie Montgomery said she established the class after taking her own kids on hikes in their Halloween costumes.

Yoga, art, games part of programs for kids Are Your continued from page A41 Incorporating a bit of dress-up into an outdoor exercise activity, she said, was just a fun, silly way to spark their imaginations that has proved popular with other kids as well. If your little ones are looking for a more zen experience, there’s Yoga and Art for Kids, a program for five- to 10-year-olds that mixes yoga poses, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and interesting art projects. Montgomery said in previous classes, the projects have included creating mandalas, or creativity circles, using different textured items and doing yoga word walls, which draws on spelling skills and encourages little ones to treat each other with kindness and respect. There’s also a program for kids who need to work out a blast of energy. Boot Camp for Children, for ages six to 10 years old,

And while it’s more intense than Fairytale Fitness, parents need not worry they’re signing kids up for an adult version of boot camp. “We incorporate games into it so it’s not so boring and structured,” said Rebecca Lyne, the recreation programmer for children and youth.
Many of the recreation programs are ideal for kids who may not be involved in organized sports but still need an after-school activity to keep them busy, active and engaged, Lyne added.
FOR YOUTHS
Two new programs for youth will give them a chance to try out their downward dog and cobra while another will have them lacing up their kicks for an invigorating run. In Yoga for Youth (ages 11 to 14), a certified instructor will lead the class in learning various yoga poses and breathing techniques while also incorporating lessons and wisdom that are invaluable for young teens. “It encourages body awareness and self esteem,” said fitness and yoga instructor Melanie Montgomery. And with all the pressures and stress that go along with entering the teenage years, the

class helps youth let go of the drama and gossip, settle their minds and focus on self-acceptance and positive thinking. The class takes place at Moody middle school but it’s open to students throughout the district. It’s also open to both boys and girls, although Montgomery suggested girls may find it particularly beneficial. “It’s a good way for teen girls to be aware of their body connection without it being related to something sexual,” she said. “It’s all about the mindbody connection.” The Youth Running Club meets at the recreation complex once a week for an hour-long warm-up and run through one of
Port Moody’s many outdoor trails. Designed for youths aged 11 to 18 years old, the club provides an opportunity for youth to run outdoors in the safety of a group, even as the days grow shorter. Children and youth recreation programmer Rebecca Lyne said the sessions include a warmup, followed by a 35- to 40-minute run through Old Orchard Park, the Shoreline Trail and through Rocky Point Park. Kids can probably expect a bit of a nature lesson as well, Lyne said, a subject she’s passionate about. “It’s really just a chance to get out and get active,” she added. spayne@tricitynews.com

Healthy, happy, active seniors continued from page A41 So when I spent a lovely 90 minutes talking with Lulu Chavez and Beth Bexrud last month, I knew I would write an article with my mom and aunt in mind. For many years, Chavez and Bexrud have led seniors through dropin classes at the PoMo rec complex and Kyle Centre. Chavez, a PoMo resident, instructs Forever Fit, a session on Mondays and Wednesdays at 9 a.m. at the Kyle Centre, as well as Seniors Spin and Strength at the rec complex on Mondays at 1:15 p.m. Her eyes light up when she speaks about her “Forever Fit girls” — a group of women in their late 60s who continue to challenge Chavez physically. “They’re an inspiration,” she said. “They’re so healthy and happy.
They make fitness part of their routine every day. And that’s the way it should be. They are taking care of themselves.” Forever Fit is a moderate class — i.e., not for beginners — that focuses on cardio, strength and agility, and stretching (Chavez offers options for various positions, depending on fitness levels). According to the city’s Happening Guide, the class aims to improve “posture, movement, efficiency and overall muscular performance related to daily activities.” Best of all, Chavez said, it’s a great way to meet new friends. “This group is very, very social,” she said. “I think it’s one of the most social groups that I have ever taught. And they’re very welcoming, too. I always introduce new people in the class and there’s an instant bond between everybody. It’s very encouraging.”
On the other side of the fitness spectrum for seniors is Osteofit for Life and Joint Works, which are taught by Beth Bexrud, a PoMo resident who has instructed recreational programs for the city for 28 years. Osteofit for Life, which runs Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. in the aerobics studio at the PoMo rec complex, was developed in the early 1990s by BC’s Women’s Hospital and Health Centre as an exercise, education and fallprevention program for people with osteoporosis or low bone density, or those at risk of falls and fractures. Osteofit instructors, like Bexrud, are specially trained and certified by the hospital. The moderate program — for people with some exercise background — focuses on the lower back, with lots of stretch

and strength training but no forward flexing of the spine and no crunches. Her Joint Works class, meanwhile, runs Thursdays at 10 a.m. at Kyle Centre and was developed in the 1990s by the Arthritis Society. The gentle program for beginners zeros in on keeping joints mobile and relieving pain by strengthening the muscles around the joints. It is designed to allow participants to stay in a chair, if necessary, and doesn’t require a floor mat. Both Chavez and Bexrud believe strongly in staying fit — especially for seniors. “We used to be a zoomers, boomers and seniors’ population in Port Moody,” Chavez said. “Not anymore. There are a lot more seniors here than ever before, and it’s so good to see them get out and enjoying life.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Walter’s wheels spin in Austria By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
I’m feeling great on the track and allaround. I’m hoping for a good performance to end the season.” The final race of the World Cup season is expected to draw riders from more than 30 countries –– many of whom, like Nyhaug, competed at the Summer Olympics. Two-day general admission tickets are $30, and are available at uciworldcupbmx.com/ tickets. Abbotsford is essentially Nyhaug’s home track – he’s on site four times a week to practice, and he’s focused on turning in a solid showing. “Besides the Olympics and the Worlds, it’s one of the biggest races of the year,” Nyhaug noted. “And there’s going to be tons of Olympians out, so hopefully people come out and watch it. “It’ll be a great show.”
Sandra Walter gets better –– and faster –– with age. The 32-year-old Coquitlam resident will wrap up the strongest season of her 15-year cross-country mountain bike racing career tomorrow (Saturday) at the UCI World Championships in Saalfelden, Austria as one of five elite women pedaling for Canada in the event. “Qualifying to represent Canada at the World Championship is an accomplishment in itself, because the Canadian women are so strong,” Walter said. C a n a d a ’s wo m e n are ranked first in the Olympic cross-country discipline and the team also contains defending World Champion and Olympian Catharine Pendrel of Kamloops. “The race will be very challenging, both physically, technically, and mentally,” Walter s a i d . “ T h e Wo r l d Championships are very special because they are one of the few races in which we represent our country and wear the maple leaf jersey.” Throughout most of the season, riders compete under the banners of private trade teams, such as Walter’s XprezoBorsao Factory Team, sponsored primarily by Quebec bicycle manufacturer, Cycles Xprezo. The course in Saalfelden is 4.6 km long and contains 180 m of vertical gain per lap. Racers will compete en masse over a set number of laps, navigating over roots, drops, rocks and other technical elements as they aim for first at the finish line.

TORRID TORY Coquitlam’s Tory Nyhaug (49) soars into the lead in the Elite class at last weekend’s Canadian BMX Championships in Abbotsford. The resilient 20-year-old Nyhaug qualified for the 2012 London Olympics just two months after rupturing his spleen in a crash while racing in The Netherlands and, in Abby, recorded three victories at the Canada Cup series. JOHN MORROW/BLACK PRESS
Nyhaug burns up BMX track again By Dan Kinvig BLACK PRESS
I
t’s been a remarkable rollercoaster of a year for Tory Nyhaug, Canada’s reigning king of BMX. The 20-year-old Coquitlam product scored a trio of victories last weekend as the Canadian BMX Championships rolled into Abbotsford, marking another high point in an epic story of resilience and pain tolerance that would make Don Cherry proud. Nyhaug was shaping up to be a legitimate medal threat at the London Olympics, rising as high as fourth in the world rankings. But on May 13, a devastating crash during a race in the Netherlands put his Olympics in jeopardy. A ruptured spleen and a broken wrist were the net result, and he spent 11 days in the intensive care ward of a Dutch hospital. But after surgery to remove the
spleen, Nyhaug made an amazing recovery, and he was on the gate in London just over two months after the crash. While the result wasn’t what he might have hoped for – he fell short of advancing from the heats to the semifinals by a single point – simply experiencing the five-ring circus made the ordeal worthwhile. “It was pretty traumatic,” Nyhaug told Black Presss on Saturday, reflecting on his Olympic odyssey. “I didn’t know if I was going to get to go, but I was so happy I was able to. It was an unbelievable experience, and I want to go back in four years. “I was pretty close to 100 per cent (in London), but definitely, the overall sharpness wasn’t there. But I did the best I could with what I had, and with any luck, I could have been through. But that’s BMX.” In Abbotsford on the weekend, Nyhaug served notice that any rust from his injury convalescence is long

gone. He defended his Canadian titles in the time trial (Friday) and the BMX race (Saturday) in the Elite male division, and for good measure, he also won the final race of the Canada Cup series on Sunday to compete a hat trick of victories. It bodes well for his chances at the UCI Supercross World Cup Finals, which run at the Abbotsford Exhibition Park track Sept. 14-15. “I wanted to get some good laps in on this track before the World Cup, and that’s exactly what I did, so I’m happy,” Nyhaug said. “I’ve had some good training here at home now, and

Races range from oneand-a-half to two hours in duration. This will be Walter’s fifth time representing Canada at the World Championships, and she also believes she is poised to pedal out a personal best result. “I have been achieving personal bests throughout my entire 2012 season,” said Walter. “With that kind of consistency, I can only believe my race on Saturday will be no exception.” Walter has enjoyed

She also achieved a career-best 16th place in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup event in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Que., on June 23. For more information about the event, visit www.saalfeldenleogang2012.at/
If his reception at the national championships was any indication, Nyhaug’s gritty performance en route to London has made him a bit of a rock star in Canadian BMX circles. On Saturday, organizers asked him to hand out the medals to podium finishers in the youth divisions, and he drew a steady stream of giddy young autograph seekers afterward. “It’s been pretty cool,” he said with a grin. “These little kids are all coming up to me, and I was there once. I know it’s important for them, and that’s how I started. I hope that a lot of these kids stick with BMX and continue to grow in the sport.” In other action at the Canadian Championships, Sabrina Millman of Cochrane, Alta., swept the Elite women’s time trial and BMX race, and finished second to Merle Van Benthem of the Netherlands in the Canada Cup event. Amelia Walsh of Ayr, Ont., the third-place finisher in the Canada Cup race, won the overall series title.

Rotary Clubs of the Tri-Cities WHY JOIN A LOCAL ROTARY CLUB? Club members enjoy the camaraderie with like minded business professionals while working on projects together that convey the fulÄllment from giving back to both the local community, and internationally.
MEMBERS OF THE MONTH Rotary Club of Port Moody Port Moody Rotary Club is proud to recognize the outstanding community efforts of Isabella Beane, owner and manager of Port Moody Travel. Isabella has been a member of Port Moody Rotary Club for the past 11years. Without the passion of Isabella, over 400 local youth would not been able to attend a weeklong leadership experience at Camp Jubilee over the past 6 years. Through her high level of passion and commitment, Isabella has worked with our local Rotary Clubs, elementary schools and counselors, to ensure deserving youth have an opportunity to learn new skills an grow in their development. Thank you Isabella for a job well done. The community thanks you for your leadership.
Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Centennial Barrie Seaton, a long time Rotarian, was approached in 2004 by Gene Vickers of the Rotary Club of Port Moody and asked if he would help found the Port Coquitlam club. He became the founding President when Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Centennial was chartered on February 23, 2005. Since 2005 was the 100th anniversary of the Ärst Rotary club, the word Centennial was added to the club name. Barrie is a well known realtor (Royal Lepage-Coronation West) in the Tri-Cities area, and his by-line “Know BS” catches a lot of attention. He has held ofÄce with Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce as well as many positions in Rotary over the years including Public Relations Chair for District 5050, and currently is the Membership Committee Chair for Port Coquitlam Centennial. He is very active in many fund raising activities including the Share food bank and others and shares a passion to help others. Barry has been known to cruise around in his vintage MG sports car looking for trouble maybe?
DID YOU KNOW? As of 2012 there are only 3 countries left in the world, Afganistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan that remain Polio endemic. There is only one child in every hundred left to save from this fatal and infectious disease. India has recently been declared Polio FREE! Rotary has contributed more than $1 billion in the last 27 years to help eradicate Polio globally and WILL keep Äghting.

UP AND COMING EVENTS On Sept. 13, 2012 we’re celebrating our 20th Anniversary edition of The Rotary Fall Classic at Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club. If you would like to participate this year and/or sponsor, registration is available online www.rotaryfallclassic.ca Your generosity will help support numerous Rotary projects and charities in the Tri Cities that have made a positive impact on many lives over the years. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to your involvement in our event, continuing to provide a tournament experience that is truly “Above All”.
LOBSTER FEST Rotary Club Of Coquitlam is hosting their second annual Lobsterfest. It will be held Saturday Oct 27, 2012, at All Saints Parish Hall, 821 Fairfax Ave, Coquitlam. Ticket cost is $75 per person. Net proceeds to community and international Rotary projects.
Rotary Club of Coquitlam The Coquitlam Rotary club wishes to thank all those who volunteered for the recent LPGA Canadian Women’s Open held at the Vancouver Golf Club Aug. 20 - 26. More than 70 volunteers, many club members, helped to make this a very proÄtable event in raising funds for the clubs local and international projects. These projects include restoration of the Rotary Kids Park at Blue Mountain Park and clean water projects in Thailand. Golf Canada paid the Rotary Club $10,000.00 for the services of the volunteers. Volunteers main responsibility at the tournament was to man the ‘Ecology Schedule’ - or more not so political correct, pick up garbage! The course is a championship course situated in South West corner of Coquitlam and has hosted the LPGA event on one occasion before - 1991. Our volunteers received high praise from Golf Canada administrators, grounds crews and golf course personnel as well as spectators. Comments such as, “This is the best cleanup crew we’ve ever had.” were not uncommon. The Rotary club would also like to recognize the help and cooperation of Neil Hastie and his employees. Neil owns Encorp PaciÄc (Canada) and was instrumental in arranging to take all the recyclable material from the course to one of his ‘Return-It Depots; sort the cans, bottles, etc. and return all proceeds to the club, allowing for more funds to be raised ($1,200.00). It was an event that brought community, club, young and old together in what turned out to be a great event. Volunteers even got to see the best women golfers in the world in action simply by saying ‘yes’ to the request to help. If you want more information on the work of Rotary, please visit: www.rotary.org or call: Mitra Saberi at 604-761-5550.
Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Saskia Vasey y was our outgoing exchange student for the last year and spent her time in Belgium hosted by local Rotarians and attending school there . She was soon immersed in a very different culture, language and basic personal values that will affect her outlook on life forever. This very personable young lady also enjoyed meeting other Rotary exchange students from various parts of the world and in addition to the family that had hosted her mother as a student. She was able to travel across Belgium and visit other parts of Europe as part of the programme including Brittany, Barcelona and Budapest. Saskia’s thirst for knowledge and adventure saw her participating in an ornithology programme in Ontario since her return to Canada and currently is in the process of training to run ultra marathons in Botswana.
