Tolls viable, tricky: experts Per-km charge is one alternative, with other tax cuts

Politicians should expect insurmountable public opposition to a strategy of slapping tolls on existing bridges to fund TransLink. But charging every driver a lower and more broadly based charge on each kilometre travelled might work in Metro Vancouver — especially if it’s offset by a cut in some existing taxes. That was some of the advice Metro Vancouver leaders heard Thursday from a panel of international experts at a forum on regional tolling organized by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. A road pricing system could include free home zones for motorists, who wouldn’t pay per-kilometre charges until they cross a zone boundary into a different city.

The camper van that accompanied Terry Fox partway across Canada during his epic Marathon of Hope will be included in the new Canadian Museum of History. T h e b e i g e Fo r d Econoline “funcraft” vehicle that transported the Port Coquitlam hometown hero, his friend Doug Alward and Fox’s brother Darrell from April to September 1980 has been in storage since June at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Que. On Tuesday, Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore, also the MP for Port Moody-WestwoodPort Coquitlam, announced plans for a $25-million renovation of the 50,000 sq. ft. facility, which will be renamed the Canadian Museum of History. It is scheduled to be open in time for the country’s 150th birthday in 2017 and will include other Canadian artifacts such as the Last Spike — a silver symbol from the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway that was supposed to be hammered in Cragellachie, B.C., as well as Maurice “Rocket” Richard’s hockey jersey. The Marathon of Hope van had a colourful past before it was reunited with the Fox family five years ago. After Fox cut short his fundraising journey for cancer research on Sept. 1, 1980 when his cancer returned, the van was

see DITCH GAS TAX, page 20

driven from Thunder Bay to London, where it was sold. Four years later, it was sold to another London resident, who passed it onto his son who, in 2000, brought it to Vancouver to tour with his heavy metal band. In 2007, Canadian author and artist Douglas

Coupland, who wrote a book about Fox and designed the Fox statues at BC Place, learned about the van through a chance encounter; it was then returned to the Fox family and restored the following year by Ford Canada. Mark O’Neill, president and CEO of the

Canadian Museum of Civilization Corp., applauded the institution board for renovating the museum and shifting its attention on shared national history. “The Canadian Museum of History will inspire curiosity and a greater understanding

of the forces that have shaped the Canadian identity,” O’Neill said in a press release.“Canadians, as well as visitors from around the world, will leave the museum with a deeper appreciation of Canada’s unique and fascinating national journey.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

‘It gets better,’ say PMSS students By Diane Strandberg The TrI-CITy NewS

A group of Port Moody secondary students is bringing the inspiring message “It Gets Better” to teens who may feel isolated, bullied and alone. On Thursday, members of the school’s Gay Straight Alliance were expected to wear purple and ask their fellow students to be an ally against bullying. They planned to hand out purple hearts with phrases such as “We Are All Worthwhile” and ask teens to wear them. “We are trying to raise awareness for other people to be more accepting,” said Harley Roy, a Grade 12 student. This is the third year the students have put on anti-bullying campaign at PMSS and they say it was inspired by the “It Gets Better” message of politician Joel Burns, himself gay, who wanted to stop gay students from killing themselves after an epidemic of teen suicides in the U.S. Burns went on to de-

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody secondary school students (front to back) Harley Roy, Kisa Lumitao, Sarah Walker, Jenny Kim and Tiffany Yang wear purple clothing and paper hearts with inspiring messages for an anti-bullying campaign at the school Thursday. velop a website with supports for teens and a strong anti-bullying message, and the PMSS students say the YouTube video is particularly relevant following the death of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd. By encouraging people to be more compassionate and accepting and more courageous in confronting bullying, the Gay Straight Alliance hopes to support all teens, including gay, lesbian and transgendered students, the students said. “This information

[we’re promoting] is the same thing — it’s to stop bullying,” said Tiffany Yang, a Grade 11 student. The students gathered at lunch Wednesday to talk to The Tri-City News about their experiences at school and they say PMSS has been a tolerant and accepting place to be a student. But they want their message to reach isolated teens who may feel life isn’t worth living. “People don’t realize they have 60 years left to make things better,” said Sarah Walker, Grade 10. In his video, Burns

talks about the despair he felt when he was beat up by older students who saw something on the “outside” of what he was starting to feel “inside.” He made a choice to be strong and, as a result, has a lifetime of happy memories, including the love and acceptance of his parents, career success and marriage to his husband. The students say Burns’ “It Gets Better” message needs to get to more kids and they hope that by putting posters up, wearing purple and building allies at school,

that message will sustain others. Those who do the bullying also need compassion because they come from a dark place, said Jenny Kim. Bullies must see the consequences of their actions; but attacking or punishing them “will only make things worse,”she said. Bullying needs to stop, the students say, but struggling young people need to believe that life is worth living. “Try to gain some perspective,” said Grade 9 student Kisa Lumitao. “They don’t realize they have the power to change.”

tips helpful but time-consuming Investigators led by the Coquitlam RCMP’s Serious Crime section are continuing to sift through thousands of tips that have been pouring in since last Friday, two days after Port Coquitlam’s Amanda Todd committed suicide. But their efforts are being hampered by false rumours that are continuing to spread online. “The outpouring of support, emotion and information is literally overwhelming,” said Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesperson for the Lower

Mainland District RCMP, in a release.“The internet and social media were central to Amanda’s story and they are central to our investigation as well.” Thiessen said one of their biggest challenges now is the false information being spread by those using the girl’s story for harm or to make a profit. Todd died last week in an apparent suicide after suffering years of bullying, including being blackmailed by an as yet unknown person who

F

distributed inappropriate photos of her when she refused to perform an explicit webcam show. The Grade 10 student had lived and attended school in Maple Ridge but was most recently living with her mother in Port Coquitlam. She switched to the alternative school CABE in Coquitlam to try and escape the bullying but the cyber-torment followed here there as well. Thiessen said this week that investigators have spent “considerable time” responding to un-

founded allegations identifying Todd’s tormenter. The significant attention surrounding Todd’s death has also led to a number of fake websites and accounts that claim to be raising money for the Todd family. “Taking advantage of a family’s grief is despicable,”Thiessen said. The real account, established by the family to handle unsolicited donations, is at the Royal Bank under the name Amanda Todd Trust Account. “We are doing everything we can as quickly

as we can,” Thiessen said. “And we want to acknowledge the role of the public in submitting information. But We want to urge everyone ... to respect Amanda’s memory by being a responsible citizen of the internet and think critically about information received online before passing it along.” Online resources dealing with bullying are at: www.deal.org; www.bullying.org; www.cyberbullying.ca or www.cybertip.ca.

A screen shot from Amanda Todd’s anti-bullying video.

Teachers advised not to show Todd video By Wanda Chow BlACk PreSS

A crisis trauma response consultant for B.C.’s Ministry of Education is recommending that the Amanda Todd video not be shown in classrooms out of concern for its impact on vulnerable students. Kevin Cameron, executive director of the Canadian Centre for Threat Assessment and Trauma Response, was lead author of a notice sent to school district superintendents and principals around B.C. warning of the potential effects of showing theYouTube video. Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd created and posted the video online several weeks ago. It recounted how she became a victim of an online stalker who caused her to be severely bullied, emotionally and physically, both on the internet and at a number of schools she attended. She committed suicide last week. Cameron works nationally and internationally, and led the crisis response team in Taber, Alta. after the school shootings there in 1999, just days after the Columbine shootings. He also helped develop B.C.’s recently adopted ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy, which addresses bullying and other harmful behaviours. “We have seen in multiple jurisdictions around B.C. and elsewhere, more kids who are coming out of the woodwork” and seeking help in the aftermath of the Amanda Todd case, he said. Calling the Todd video “traumatic stimuli,” he cautioned schools not to show it in classrooms as a general rule. “There are some professionals and even parents who feel that just by showing the clip that that is somehow going to teach the kids not to bully,”said Cameron. The problem is, any classroom could have students who are silently struggling with being bullied or other issues. They may have decided they don’t want to watch it “because they know how on the edge they are already,” he said. Having that choice taken away from them by playing it in the classroom could elevate that level of risk.

Biz, speak up at Oct. 23 PoCo forum Entrepreneurs asked to share opinions and info By Gary McKenna ThE Tri-CiTy NEws

Businesses in Port Coquitlam will get a chance to weigh in on the city’s economic development plans at an open house next week. Coun. Mike Forrest, who chairs the Mayor’s Task Force on Business Development Opportunities, said PoCo council is hoping to identify some of the challenges local entrepreneurs face. “We want to find out the things that might entice business to come to Port Coquitlam and help businesses that have challenges now,” he said. “We want to see if there are things that are fixable that we can address.” Information from the open house and an online survey will be used to help shape the city’s economic strategic plan, a document Forrest said will be drafted in the new year. The Mayor’s Task

COUN. MIKE FORREST Force was launched last December and includes Forrest and fellow city councillors Brad West and Dean Washington a s w e l l a s Po C o Business Improvement Association president Lih-Ming Tam, Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce president David Fantillo, Urban Development Institute director Maureen Ensor and local business representative Chris Galer.

Big bucks to enhance Evergreen By Janis Warren

www.tricitynews.com

Speak up!

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The cities of Coquitlam and Burnaby will each have to shell out at least $500,000 to pay for new landscaping, lights and fencing down North Road as part of the Evergreen Line. The streetscape amenities — i.e., median rain gardens, enhanced median planting, guideway lighting and decorative trellises — are aimed at treating storm water runoff, improving pedestrian safety and “softening the appearance” of the rapid transit line, according to a staff report that went before Coquitlam’s councilin-committee on Monday. Taxpayers in both cities will also have to find another $75,000 a year to maintain the plants and lighting down North Road once the rapid transit line begins running from Lougheed Town Centre, in Burnaby, to Coquitlam City Centre in the summer of 2016. M a u r i c e G rave l l e , Coquitlam’s general manager of special initiatives, said the decorative and safety measures are outside the scope of the provincial government, which is overseeing the project.

Three of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

$6.9M contract awarded for new Moody fire hall By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Work on Port Moody’s new Inlet Centre fire hall is now underway after the city awarded the construction contract to Kinetic Construction. The site office and

fencing have been placed next to city hall in an area that will eventually be used for parking at the new fire hall. As part of its foundation preparation, Kinetic will be relocating the existing preload material to other areas of the site and completing excavations of soils that are not suitable for construction. City spokesperson Leslyn Johnson said

trucking to and from the site will have minimal impact on traffic, although there may be some disruptions at the intersection of Newport Road and Knowle Street. No road closures will be required for construction. Nearby residents in the Suter Brook and Newport Village developments can expect piling work to take place from

mid-November to midDecember. Kinetic’s winning bid was for $6.9 million, including $36,000 for a partial green roof on the canopy at the south end of the building. Four other bids ranged from $7.1 million to almost $7.7 million. The new fire hall will be built to post-disaster seismic standards. spayne@tricitynews.com

Port Moody firefighters worked for hours to put out a fire at a business in the 2700-block of Murray Street, across from Rocky Point Park, on Thursday morning. The blaze caused traffic to be stopped in both directions, delaying commuters.

An early morning fire Thursday in a two-storey warehouse near Rocky Point Park in Port Moody was a challenge for firefighters and commuters. Port Moody Fire Chief Remo Faedo said it took three hours and more than two dozen firefighters from both PoMo fire halls to douse the blaze at 2731 Murray St. because the roof fell in and some unidentified materials continued to burn. “It delayed our ability to strike the fire entirely,” Faedo said. PoMo fire department received a call at 4:05 a.m. and by 7:30 a.m. the fire was put out. Traffic was shut down in both directions, however, forcing commuters onto St. Johns Street, but westbound was reopened at 7:30 a.m. and eastbound reopened later in the morning. Investigators said yesterday they hadn’t yet determined the cause of the blaze but it didn’t appear to be suspicious. No one was in the building at the time of the fire and there were concerns that some of the materials might have been hazardous, Faedo said. Pacific Particulate Materials Ltd. operates out of the building.

■ WHAT WE THINK:

C

ould B.C.’s fractious education system have 10 years of stability? That’s the (faint) hope of the BC Liberal government, which wants to end decades of battles with the BC Teachers’ Federation with a review of the bargaining structure. Should the BCTF come to the table, we would welcome an end to the rancor and a new climate of cooperation. Should this occur, B.C. would enter golden years for education. Unfortunately, without money on the table, little can be accomplished in terms of dealing with class size and special needs support, which are key issues for teachers. Without some concrete proposals and meaningful consultation, this offer will be sorely tested. Still, the announcement by Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Don McRae is an admission that the province bears some responsibility for the past problems, and we welcome an olive branch and look forward to better times to come.

Loud and clear: The death of Amanda Todd AS I SEE IT Ted Kuntz

I

don’t know about you but I can’t sleep. It’s midnight and I’m still tossing and turning. All I can see in my mind is the images of a petite, attractive 15-yearold holding cards with printed words to a camera and uncovering the sheets of paper one after another as she tells her story of harassment, victimization and assault.The pain in her voiceless message tears away at me, the words and images even more impactful with the knowing this young woman has just taken her life. Amanda Todd is dead.The corner’s inquest will likely list the cause of death as suicide but there is more than her hands on the instrument of death. Amanda was killed by a series of insults, attacks and unkindness that many dozens participated in. Amanda was another victim of the effects of bullying. There is a desire to want to root out the

victimizers, to sharpen our sticks and direct their points at the male who took advantage of Amanda’s innocence and convinced her to expose her young breasts via a web cam. Or maybe our sharp points should go to the individual who exposed her undressed image to family and friends on Facebook because Amanda would not offer up more of her innocence. But there are more monsters to identify.The girls who assaulted her and left her bruised and injured in a ditch. Or the group of peers who witnessed the assault taking place and egged the heartless girls to punch her again. Or maybe our anger is rightly focused on the person who filmed the assault and shared those images on Facebook, too. But there are even more perpetrators in this crime. When Amanda, in her despair, swallowed bleach in an unsuccessful attempt to end her life, heartless beasts chastised her in her failure and suggested she try another brand of bleach.The list of cruel and ugly perpetrators is long and my anger wells up the more I think about this tragedy.

IN QUOTES

“We need to do something. We need to figure out this unkindness that exists in our society. We need to figure out how to make this stop.” Ted Kuntz I want to know who to blame for Amanda’s death. I want the wrong doers to be punished. I can feel the anger in my heart and the tightness in my chest. It feels like theVancouver riots all over again but, this time, the destruction is not cars, buildings and merchandise but the life of a girl still finding her way in the world. So, who is to blame for this tragedy? Who or what should be listed as the cause of death? Amanda is only the latest in a long list of victims and likely not the last. We need to do something. We need to figure out this unkind-

ness that exists in our society. We need to figure out how to make this stop. We need to figure out how to heal these wounds when they occur. The tragedy is that Amanda’s pain was not hidden. It hadn’t been one of those situations where we’re all surprised to learn of the cruelty she experienced. Amanda was loud and clear about the bullying. Her parents knew.The schools knew. Her counsellors knew. Her peer group knew. Her Facebook community knew. Amanda had exposed her pain onYou Tube in the months prior to her death. And the scars on her arms were all the evidence one needed that this girl was in trouble.Yet, somehow, the knowing wasn’t enough.The path of destruction that was so visible still continued. We have lots to learn. We have lots to pay attention to. We have much that needs to change in our civilized society. It’s time we put our heads and hearts together and found some answers. And we don’t stop until we find the answers.

Let kids practise good decisions T

he Ontario government’s latest fiat is that schools can no longer sell junk food to students. Who could argue with that? (Not B.C., which has a similar ban.) The Canadian Taxpayer Federation does.You know:“The nanny state shouldn’t tell us what we can and can’t eat as a part of their Orwellian plot to force broccoli on us all.” But besides the big, bad government argument, there are other reasons to be against“banning”junk food from schools. Banning junk food from schools just makes it more likely that, when at the mall, kids will opt for a side of salty, fatty fries and a barrel of sugary drink. As is true with cellphones and electronic devices, banning things from schools only makes them more desirable. The best way to help young people make good decisions is to let them practise making decisions rather than legislating their choices. Ten years ago, when I was principal of a local middle school, students saw drinking fountains as unhygienic and“gross,”with dribbly water pressure and the inevitable piece of chewed gum left by the last kid brave enough to stick his face in the oval white germ incubator. Thus,

kids weren’t drinking water, and they should. We encouraged a group of students to request that the school install water dispensers in the hallways — the 10-gallon bottles with the little dispensing spigot. The water dispensers didn’t come with cups, so hydrating kids had to decide to bring their own water bottles. They also had to decide not to drip water all over the hallway. Most were successful in this and, because it was their idea, water consumption in the school went viral (sorry) among students and teachers. I’ll bet those middle school kids, now young adults, are still choosing to lug water bottles around their workplaces. I would also bet that had we chosen to instead ban all drinks except water because it was good for them, those same kids would still be resisting hydrating themselves. Should schools sell candy and junk food? No. But legislating dietary choices will not result in any enduring commitment to healthier eating. So unless we are prepared to ban junk food entirely — from hockey rinks, 7-Elevens and our homes — banning it from schools won’t help kids resist the haunting call of the Slurpee machine.

Cops: thieves ‘knew what they were doing’ Coquitlam RCMP suspect an “in-theknow” thief after a Shaughnessy Street store was broken into earlier this week. Sometime before the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 17, a thief broke in to the store, in the 2600block of Shaughnessy, and stole a purple amethyst crystal, three singing bowls and an apophyllite crystal. “It appears whoever committed this breakin knew what they were doing,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “They went straight for the amethyst and apophyllite crystals in addition to the singing bowls, despite the fact there were other jewelry pieces in a nearby display case.” Chung said the 80pound purple amethyst crystal is a unique, high-value piece; police are asking the public to call them if they come across it. Anyone with information is asked to contact Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 201229188 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Todd video could be harmful to students, says trauma expert continued from page 3

“Tragically, one of the most common lines that some adults and even youth alike will use after a tragedy like the Amanda Todd situation occurs is, ‘See, this is what bullying causes,’” he said. “The problem with using that line but not having the skills to follow up with it, is then it embeds in some of our high-risk youth the belief that it is cause and effect, meaning ‘I’m being bullied, this is what bullying causes and I have no way out.’” He noted that the video is not a positive one that shows kids how to manage bullying but, rather, one that depicts a situation that ultimately led to a suicide, which other students could end up identifying with. Cameron stressed that he’s not saying the video shouldn’t be shown at all but that it should only be approved by school administrators for use by teachers skilled in responding to the reactions they might get from students, and where counselling staff have the resources to respond to any conscious or unconscious cries for help that may result. When a high-profile trauma occurs, children who may not have otherwise shared their personal issues with bullying or depression may start to give subtle s i g n s . Th e s e c o u l d include showing a new interest in such a case, asking more questions than they might have before, or pretending to be talking about a friend’s situation. Or they might write or draw scenes of depression or suicide. There could be a l i m i t e d w i n d ow o f opportunity for teachers or parents to help a vulnerable youth, as some youth might not express their concerns a second time, he said. “Students will often go and give some type of pre-incident sign or indicator, to the adults that they have the most faith will help them.” So if a student starts doodling images of suicide out of the blue, “nine times out of 10, it’s because they’re hoping that teacher will read between the lines and ask them, ‘My goodness, are you okay? What’s going on?’ “If the kid sees the teacher walk by and say, ‘That’s not appropriate for the classroom,’ if that drawing is a cry for help, what does the teacher’s failure to respond to that cry inadvertently do to the level of risk? And the answer is a simple one,

it increases it.” The letter to school districts is a reminder to school administrators and teachers to keep their eyes TODD and ears open for such cries for help, Cameron said. In dealing with highprofile incidents, he said

it was originally thought that one of the biggest concerns is having people overreact in such situations. But the opposite is true, with hindsight after many tragedies showing that there were warning signs of situations that

no one thought were as bad as they turned out to be. “You can overreact but it is so rare, I wo u l d r a t h e r d e a l with mopping up someone’s overreaction because somebody was concerned about a kid than under-reaction that costs somebody their life.”

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given that the City of Coquitlam will be holding a Public Hearing to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws. This meeting will be held on: Date: Monday, October 22, 2012 Time: 7:00 p.m. Location: City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2 Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing, Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda.

www.coquitlam.ca/publichearing

Item 1

Address: 1313 Cartier Avenue

The intent of City of Coquitlam Heritage Revitalization Agreement Authorization Bylaw No. 4345, 2012 is to authorize the City to enter into a Heritage Revitalization Agreement with the owner of 1313 Cartier Avenue. The application would facilitate the restoration and heritage designation protection of Maison Velay, a historic Maillardville residence, and incorporate the heritage building into a new multi-unit development, consisting of five townhouse units, one of which will contain a secondary suite. Please refer to the attached map titled “1313 Cartier Avenue” for information on the location of the subject property.

Item 2

Text Amendment to the RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex Zone

The intent of Bylaw No. 4347, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to add the minimum number of required parking spaces (1.5) for Triplex and Quadruplex Residential uses into Part 7 of the Zoning Bylaw. The proposed amendments are deemed necessary to support the City’s RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex zone and to include the minimum number of required parking spaces for Triplex and Quadruplex Residential uses in Part 7 of the Zoning Bylaw.

Item 3

Text Amendment to the Secondary School Parking Requirements

The intent of Bylaw No. 4342, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to implement changes to the offstreet parking requirements for Secondary Schools. The proposed amendments would reduce the current off-street parking regulations from one (1) space for every four (4) students of school capacity to one (1) space for every seven (7) students of school capacity. If approved, the proposed amendment will accommodate the supply of parking relative to the needed demand by students and staff.

Item 4

Text Amendment for Implementation of the Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS)

The intent of Bylaw No. 4236, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to implement changes to the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 High Density Apartment Residential zones and the C-4 City Centre Commercial and C-7 Transit Village Commercial zones. The proposed amendments are deemed necessary to support the City’s Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS) and Evergreen Line ridership, and include the following: • A revised definition for “Lot Area” for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones that would include only the area within the property lines of a lot,

consistent with the definition for other zones in the Zoning Bylaw and in keeping with the general practice in other municipalities • An increase in the permitted base density (gross floor area) for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones to 2.5 times the lot area, the same base density permitted in the C-4 and C-7 zones • A revised density bonus structure system for the RM-4, RM-5, RM-6 and C-7 zones so that the financial contribution at each step would be the same as the C-4 City Centre Commercial zone and would be made towards amenities as identified in the Citywide Official Community Plan • A new provision is proposed to the density bonus provisions for all high-density zones, including the C-4, that would allow the City the option to have the amenity provided (i.e. built) as part of the development • Maximum lot coverage would be increased to 55% for the RM-4 zone and 90% for the RM-5, RM-6 and C-7 zones to encourage an urban development form, while leaving sufficient area for outdoor amenity space • Building setback requirements would be simplified and reduced for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones to bring buildings closer to the street and improve site efficiencies, in keeping with high-density mixed use zones • Similar to the C-4 and C-7 zones, the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones would require all off-street parking to be concealed and separated from the building face by another use, if located above-grade • Similar to the C-4 and C-7 lots, the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones would allow for density to be transferred or shared among contiguous (adjoining) parcels of land, providing for greater flexibility in the design and assembly of multi-building and phased development sites • The C-7 zone would require a minimum employment-generating use of 0.25 gross floor area times the lot area for developments along North Road, Clarke Road and the future East-West Connector streets between Emerson Street and Clark Road, and Lougheed Highway and North Road, as identified in the Official Community Plan.

Item 5

Address: 3349 David Avenue

The intent of Bylaw No. 4337, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject property outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw No. 4337, 2012 from RS-2 One-Family Suburban Residential to RS-8 Large Village Single Family Residential. If approved, the application would facilitate the subdivision of the subject property into nine (9) Large Village Single Family lots.

Say goodbye to Knee pain 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

Cycling route sought By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Coquitlam is seeking permission from BC Hydro to use land along the north side of Kingsway Avenue that is owned by the Crown corporation to build a trail. The city’s transportation manager Dave Currie said the route would dramatically improve the municipality’s east-west cycling connection, linking the bike route at Broadway Street and Coast Meridian Road with downtown. “The city has created very good north-south linkage, with Broadway and Coast Meridian,” he said. “What we need to

do now is improve our connections in the downtown area, particularly the downtown core.” If council approves the first phase of the route, it would run along a strip of land on the north side of Kingsway that is currently dedicated for underground gas lines. BC Hydro owns a majority of the land, although two small sections of the strip are owned by private businesses. The first phase of the mixed-use trail is expected to cost $900,000, an amount Currie said was consistent with similar projects elsewhere in Metro Vancouver. If council approves the initiative, Currie expects the funding to be split be-

tween the city, TransLink and the provincial government. “It is a high-quality facility,” he said. “It is basically the equivalent of a new lane, only it is dedicated for mixed-use.” If the initial phase is built, Currie said it could open the door to a route extension from Broadway to the Mary Hill Bypass, linking with the Traboulay PoCo Trail and the Pitt River Bridge. The entire project would take five years. The proposal going to council consists of a 4 m trail with a safety fence between the path and the road. Boulevard drainage works and the restoration of soil and grass are also being considered.

The Tri-CiTy News

The first segment of the Fremont Connector — a road that will link Lougheed Highway with Dominion Avenue in Port Coquitlam — could be open as early as next month. Once the road is completed, it will provide another north-south connection in PoCo, easing traffic on nearby routes such as Ottawa Street

and Coast Meridian Road. “If there are people in the northeast that wish to go to the Mary Hill Bypass, some of that traffic right now sort of backtracks,” said Dave Currie, the city’s manager of transportation. “With the new road, it will be shorter.” Con-West was required to build the road as part of its application for an industrial and residential development on

the northeast portion of the property. According to a city staff report, the developer has completed the majority of the work and control of the road is ready to be handed over to the city for public use. Con-West has built a 17-acre industrial development and work is about to get underway on a condo tower at the northeast section of the Dominion Triangle overlooking the Pitt River. The company is also required to build a 28-

Ditch gas tax for road pricing Someone in Surrey could drive within Surrey “all day long” but only pay if they cross a zone boundary into New Westminster, suggested Jack Opiola, a Virginiabased road tolling and transport policy consultant. “When I leave my home zone and travel into somebody else’s, I know I pay a fee,” he said. “That way, everybody pays their fair share.” Ideally, panelists said, road pricing could substitute for much of the existing gas tax, which is declining anyway, and possibly even reduce property tax a bit. “It’s going to be a tough sell to say we’re going to keep taxing you on your gas and ask you to pay a per-mile charge,” said Edward Regan, a transportation and tolling policy authority from Connecticut. “But if it’s one instead of the other, that’s certainly much more viable.” The push by Lower Mainland mayors towards road-use charges s p r i n g s f ro m b o t h TransLink’s troubled quest for sustainable funding and a growing sense among civic leaders that tolling just a couple of bridges is unfair and may inefficiently distort traffic patterns. Most other jurisdictions are grappling with some of the same challenges as TransLInk, particularly a gas tax that raises less money for transit each year as vehicles get more efficient and more electric cars hit the road. Panelists said several U.S. jurisdictions — from Washington’s Puget Sound to Los Angeles — are contemplating a shift to forms of road pricing, typically by charging a few cents per mile travelled. Regan said it’s also wise to find ways to provide benefits to drivers rather than merely a high-tech method to take their money. He said GPS-based systems to charge road usage fees can also be used to advise drivers on less-congested alternate routes or, perhaps, guide them to a free parking spot and automatically pay for it. In Dallas-Fort Worth, he said, tolls on planned new express lanes will vary by route and change according to congestion levels in an effort to ensure those lanes are free flowing. Drivers will get a toll rebate if traffic fails to flow at a guaranteed minimum speed. Even with the best ideas in play, panelists warned the policy road to toll systems is littered with failed efforts, in-

cluding New York City’s aborted attempt to introduce a London-style congestion charge. Opiola said a potential move to a road usage charge being studied in Washington State would also charge B.C. drivers who nip across the border to buy gas — if the measure is enacted. Puget Sound estimates it could rake in $34 billion over 20 years through road usage fees it aims to put on every route in the region, said Mark Hallenback, director of the Washington State Transportation Centre. “The numbers are enormous,” he said. “The problem is that comes from someone. It’s not magic money. It comes from a public, which is not at all convinced that they should be giving that to you.”

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

Various jurisdictions are considering road pricing to curb traffic and raise money for road and transit infrastructure, transportation experts say. Hallenback also suggested significantly cutting back TransLink’s 17-cent-a-litre gas tax, which raises about $330 million a year, if road pricing is imposed here, adding that fewer drivers would then cross the border to fill up. “All those people no longer going over to

Blaine, they’re buying it with the Canadian taxes on it. You might not even lose that much money.” Other methods of easing the pain to motorists could include a $5 cap on tolls paid in a single day, or a certain number of free kilometres a day before tolls apply, the

forum heard. The real questions, Hallenback said, include whether the scheme can generate net new money for transit expansion, how much more local residents can afford to pay and whether they support the vision for an improved system. Other challenges include assuring drivers a GPS-based system won’t precisely track their cars’ movements. Road pricing has benefits other tax methods — such as property tax — can’t deliver, the forum heard. It puts a direct price on putting a key in an ignition and driving, which too many motorists view as essentially free, aside from the cost of gas. “You level the playing field, making transit more competitive with driving,”Regan said.

Experimental education By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

It was messy, loud and fun. But most importantly, last Friday’s science lab in the gym at Hillcrest middle school was one giant learning experience. The Coquitlam school participated in an international effort to set a Guinness world record for the largest practical science lab. Hillcrest was among several School District 43 schools participating.

At Hillcrest, students were grouped in teams and wore brightly-coloured clothes to do two science experiments that took about 30 minutes. In one, they made a water mister using a glass of water and two straws, in another, they made two balloons touch each other by blowing a steady stream of air. The goal, principal Nadine Tambellini said, was to get students involved in science and to teach them about fluid

dynamics during National Science and Technology Week. She praised teacher Rose Ngo for organizing the event, which involved all 295 students. “She’s very enthusiastic and she inspires the school,” Tambellini said. Other Tri-City middle schools that participated were Citadel, Moody, Pitt River and Scott Creek, plus HarbourView elementary. • For more information, visit, www.science.gc.ca dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

SCENES FROM A KITCHEN PARTY

Impromptu: A Kitchen Party, the second annual signature gala for Coquitlam’s Place des Arts, was a merry wake for Uncle Joey McCann. The event last Saturday raised $10,000 for the Maillardville facility’s arts education programs. Above, “widow” Kathleen McCann (aka Nicole Roberge, Riverside secondary’s drama teacher) reacts to Joey’s return; below, Father Mark (Peter Grasso) consoles Irene Weisner, Christa Beese and Donna Battye; Father Mark and Randy McCormick serve up a cod for the screech-in; the dancing nuns; and Uncle Joey (Nathan Kelly) in disguise — and dancing a jig — haves fun at his own funeral.

A Maillardville organization last month picked up a national award for excellence in promoting francophone art and culture. Societe francophone de Maillardville’s executive and artistic director Johanne Dumas collected the Louis Riel accolade at the Contact Ouest annual gathering in Whitehorse.

New varieties add to pumpkin season iN THe GARDeN Brian Minter

P

umpkins are often a child’s first introduction to horticulture and from their early history in the Americas to their future in space gardening research, they deserve a little more credit than just being a jack-o’-lantern. All pumpkins are indigenous to America and were grown along with corn by native Americans, making them one of the first companion crops. Members of the ‘cucurbitaceae’ family, their close relatives are watermelon, gourds, squash and cantaloupe. Recently a flurry of new pumpkin varieties has being developed. A bushtype variety, called ‘Spirit’, which has vines that only spread about three feet, delights pumpkin growers with limited space. It is prolific, much like a zucchini and harvesting a dozen or more ten to fifteen pound fruits is not uncommon. For more adventurous growers, there are various strains of the ‘Atlantic Giant’ available. They are bred for size. The winning entries in the World Pumpkin Confederation Weigh Off now exceed 1200 pounds.You would need a chainsaw to carve these monsters and a shovel and wheelbarrow to clean them out. They also look ugly. A much nicer giant is ‘Prizewinner’ which averages 90 to 100 pounds and actually looks like a pumpkin. On the sweeter side, smaller is better. ‘Sugar’ or ‘pie pumpkins’ are the traditional varieties for pies. Grown from seed stock imported from China, Stokes Seeds Canada has introduced a series of small varieties like ‘Sweetie Pie’. Considered a delicacy in China, these miniature pumpkins fit nicely in the palm of your hand. They average only five ounces in weight, measure about three inches across and about one inch deep - real giants. They are very attractive because of their deep ribbing and can be dried like gourds for neat table decorations. A white and orange striped variety, called ‘Pumkemon’ and a white one, called ‘Baby Boo’, cook up nicely too. White pumpkins are all the rage this year and varieties like ‘Lumina’ are all

over websites like Pinterest as the latest and greatest. Flat ribbed varieties, like ‘Cinderella’, are hot too and very unique and different. ‘Little Lantern’, ‘School Time’ and ‘Orange Smoothie’ will be of interest to young pumpkin growers. They only measure five to seven inches across, but they really produce lots of little, five to eight pound fruits in eight weeks. They make great pies too. Pumpkin seeds, which are very high in vitamins, are a delicacy in the Middle East. With the development of two new varieties, ‘Tricky Jack’ and ‘Lady Godiva’, there are now hull-less seeds, which can be eaten like peanuts when lightly roasted. From Japan comes a new edible seed variety called ‘Kakai’. It’s awesome and its fresh seeds are sweet and nut-like. We all know about those scrumptious pumpkin pies. Another delicious pumpkin dish is made by baking or steaming pumpkin meat, then seasoning it with butter, salt, pepper and molasses. Pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies stuffed with raisins are popular favourites. In the Caribbean Islands, one of the staple foods is pumpkin soup. The Land Pavilion in Epcot Centre at Disney World in Florida, is experimenting with pumpkins as a food source for space expeditions. Trained upward along ropes, the vines grow about thirty feet high and are loaded with perfect ten to fifteen pound pumpkins. It is nice to think that the jack-o’-lantern we carve on Halloween to keep the evil spirits away has a great history and an even brighter future. Let’s hear it for pumpkins.

Tien Sher brings micro suites to Surrey

Striking the right Balance Surrey will soon be home to the smallest condominiums in Canada with the opening of Balance, a new development in Surrey City Centre built by Tien Sher. The four-storey building will hold 56 suites, ranging from 290 to 653 square feet and starting at $109,900. “Real estate prices in the Lower Mainland are among the richest in North America,” says Tien Sher president Charan Sethi. “We wanted to build suites that renters could afford to purchase – today.” Even with their small size, the condos (called micro suites) at Balance will include beautiful features such as

stainless-steel appliances, hardwood floors and a private balcony. “Balance is unique,” says Sethi. “No suite comes with a parking stall but they are available for purchase. A 2012 parking study we commissioned showed most purchasers will forego car ownership and its associated costs, in favour of an affordable home purchase. Balance homeowners’ transportation options include bus, SkyTrain and a carshare vehicle onsite. Who needs a car with such as short walk to municipal amenities, shopping and services?” Sales are expected to begin in January. For more information, visit www.tiensher.com.

There’s Something about Woodbridge’s Abbey Road By Kerry Vital

The original Abbey Road Studios started life as a townhome before becoming the iconic recording mecca it is today. Fans of The Beatles will quickly recognize the name of Woodbridge’s South Surrey townhome development, but Abbey Road is appealing to a much larger audience. Abbey Road is built in a Georgian style like its namesake, with classic brick detailing, iron gates and window boxes and shutters. “The architecture is unique,” says sales manager Tara Desmond. Inside, the two-, three- and fourbedroom floorplans are spacious and open, with nine-foot ceilings and wideplank wood laminate flooring on the main level. Huge windows let the light pour in and bring the outdoors to you, though you may prefer to spend most of your time on your own patio or deck that is tailor-made for coming together and entertaining. Oversized wood baseboards throughout add a touch of understated beauty to the proceedings. The kitchens are elegant, with quartz countertops, classic shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. The ceramic and glass tile backsplash is complemented by the under-cabinet lighting, with pot lights illuminating the rest of the space. If you’re looking for a bit more prep space or room to eat a quick meal, Woodbridge is offering the option of including a kitchen island with a breakfast bar in some floorplans. Relaxation comes standard at Abbey Road with its spacious bathrooms. Stone countertops are offset by custom shaker-style vanities and his-andhers square undermount sinks in the ensuite, and a deep soaker tub is tailor-made for luxury. The secondary bathrooms feature custom vanities of their own, along with oversized glazed ceramic tile flooring and chic vanity mirrors with solid wood frames, to always put you in the best light. Abbey Road is just moments from shopping and restaurants at Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, leisure and recreation at the golf courses, beaches and parks in the area, and education at nearby schools. “You’re close to everything but you’re not sitting inside the amenities,” says Desmond. “You’re always close to the action.” At Abbey Road itself, there is a community room perfect for parties and a traditional English garden with

“

You’re always close to the action,” says Abbey Road sales manager Tara Desmond. a children’s play area, along with the gorgeous mature landscaping that surrounds the development. “The amenity space is a place to meet people, have a glass of wine,” Desmond says. Woodbridge is offering a purchase incentive for the month of October. Buyers are given a $10,000 credit that can be used towards the purchase of upgrades like ceiling speakers or crown mouldings or professional series kitchen appliances. Prices start from the mid$300,000s. For more information, visit abbeyroadliving.com or call 604-5420660.

The homes at Woodbridge’s Abbey Road showcase wide-plank wood laminate flooring throughout the main ilving areas, above, and tons of natural light from the huge windows, top. Located in a great neighbourhood in Morgan Heights, Abbey Road will appeal to homeowners of all ages.

First place on the line against PG

Clan’s Chan can Port Moody’s Alanna Chan was a standout on defense when the SFU Clan took on the Western Wa s h i n g t o n University Vikings in women’s volleyball on Saturday night. The former Heritage Woods Kodiak, who is a sophomore at the university, led the team on defence, finishing the game with 16 digs. However, the effort was not enough for the squad to shut down the first place team, w h i c h wo n i n straight sets of 2515, 25-17 and 25-13. “WWU is a very disciplined team and they don’t make a lot of errors,” said head coach Lisa Sulatycki. “But I was very pleased with the first two sets. We flipped our line up a little bit tonight and I thought we handled that well and competed well.” With the loss, the squad is now 3-13 on the season and 0-9 in conference play.

express will battle for top spot in Mainland Division By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

First place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division is on the line when the Prince George Spruce Kings visit the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex on Saturday. The Coquitlam Express, who currently sit one point up on their northern opponents with a 8-3-1 record, are tied for second in the league and have only lost one game this month. But with only six points separating the top team in the division with the basement dwelling Surrey Eagles, coach Jon Calvano said his squad has to fight for every win. “I think last year, teams didn’t take us too seriously,” he said. “They thought it was a bit of a fluke. I don’t think this year we are going to be able to surprise anybody. It is no secret who our key players are. We have to be ready, knowing that every team is coming to beat us.” Goaltender Daniel Urbani snagged a hat trick last weekend during a two-game road trip to the interior. The rookie netminder, who was yanked in his first start this season, turned away 39 shots against the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday night. “That last game was his first full start and to get a shutout is pretty amazing for a 17-yearold kid,” Calvano said. “It is good to see a local

For Arnolds, martial arts is a family affair Three siblings take home medals at B.C. tourney Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Sibling squabbles take on a whole new meaning at the Arnold household after a Port

Moody brother and sister black belt duo won first place at the B.C Provincial Taekwondo Championships last weekend. Riley Arnold, a Grade 11 student at Heritage Woods secondary, took gold in the junior ‘A’ weight class, while his sister,

13-year-old Ashlyn, also won first place in category. But the pair are not the only members of the Arnold family to practice martial arts. Nine-year-old Kyler Arnold also competed at the tournament, taking second place in his weight class.

kid getting his first full game.” T h e Express c o a c h was also Calvano happy with his team’s balanced offence, which does not rely on a small handful of players for the bulk of the club’s scoring. Coquitlam players Alexander Kerfoot, Justin Georgeson, John Siemer and Adam Rockwood all scored in the 4-0 win over Trail. On Saturday, the Express struggled early against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, surrendering two goals before Coquitlam could get on the board. “I wasn’t happy with our start,” Calvano said. “We struggled with out execution, but we battled back from being down 2-0 and we got the road win. That is tough.” A late Salmon Arm goal was not enough to spur the home team’s offence, and Coquitlam won the game 4-3. Brady Shaw scored two goals to earn first star honours, while Coquitlam’s John Siemer, who tallied two assists, was named third star of the game. Goaltender Cole Huggins, who comm i t t e d t o N CA A’ s Minnesota State University Mavericks for the 2013/2014 season, stopped 34 of 37 shots he faced. The Prince George Spruce Kings will be facing off against the Coquitlam Express at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex on Friday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m. sports@tricitynews.com

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYER of the WEEK FEMALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: SHAWNA WARHURST - COQUITLAM METRO-FORD BLACK ICE This past weekend, the Under 16 Metro-Ford Black Ice defeated the highly-ranked Surrey United Shock by a convincing 3-1 margin. After a scoreless first half, SHAWNA WARHURST gave her team the lead early in the second half as she pounced on the ball inside the opponents’ penalty area and slotted it home. Not only did Shawna score the opening goal, but she also worked tirelessly throughout the match, both offensively and defensively. Shawna has just recently joined the Black Ice team and her contribution thus far has been immense as she has quickly become an integral part of the squad. For her gritty performance this past weekend, SHAWNA WARHURST has been chosen as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Player-of-the-Week.

Ethics is an important part of fishing TIGhT LINeS Jeff Weltz

ics and behavior an angler can display. This year, lets all try to be and teach others to be sportsmen.

Local lakes are good for fishing

The RepoRT

“There’s one.” Bill Schaadt’s voice was excited yet firm. He backed deliberately out of the water and from the tip of his archer fly rod line angled far out into the deepest part of the pool. “He’s gone,” lamented Bill as his line trailed loosely away downstream. “That’s the twelfth one in a row I’ve lost. If the hook doesn’t pull out, the leader breaks, and if the leader holds, they go in the snags. They’re tough.” As we went back to fishing I could hear Nauheim mumbling something under his breath about the ultimate challenge. Bertaina shook his head and chuckled enigmatically. Beyond him, Geib, Miller and Green went methodically about their casting. Separated from the rest, Bill Schaadt focused his boundless energy on the water before him. Hours passed to the roar of the rapids upstream. When a salmon rolled and shattered the pool’s surface, a murmur would rise from among the anglers. Long after Bill lost his first fish he hooked another, which he landed — a splendid forty pounder. It turned out to be the only fish caught that day. -Russell Chatham from The Angler’s Coast

MAPLETHORP, Cyril

She will be dearly missed by her daughters Pat (Ray), Ellen and Elizabeth, grandchildren Allan (Denise), Breanna, Derek and Mark, great grandchildren Deanna and Julia, sister, Doreen (Hector). No service at her request. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to the charity of your choice.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Cyril Maplethorp on October 8th 2012. Left to mourn are Frances, his wife of 60 years, his two children, daughter Amanda (Ian) and son David (Lori), and two grandchildren, Adrian and Eleanor and his brother Frédéric in France. Cyril was a long time and active resident of Port Moody, serving several years on City Council. He was also a long term business owner and an avid bridge player. He volunteered for many years, first with the Red Cross and later at Eagle Ridge Hospital. This wonderful man will be sadly missed. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, Port Moody, in his name would be greatly appreciated.
