Bears busy & hungry Mom and 3 cubs roaming in area of Hyde Creek By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Conservation officers are warning Port Coquitlam residents to lock up their garbage and get rid of attractants after a bear family was treed near Minnekhada middle school on Friday. Tranquilizers failed to subdue the bears, which
have been eating garbage from homes near the school all winter, and one homeowner has already been fined for leaving garbage out. “Friday was the second week in a row we’ve had them in close proximity to the school,” said conservation officer Cody Ambrose, who said the sow and three cubs were chased into the woods but will likely return, potentially causing more problems. see ‘THEY ARE’, page A6
Dental help for local homeless Clinic at PoCo church will give free dental care By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam’s Jennifer Gillis, 17, returns to the stage tonight (Wednesday) in the lead role of Millie in Gleneagle secondary school’s production of “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” And the Grade 11 student, who took a break last fall after placing seventh in the nationally televised CBC reality show “Over the Rainbow,” will be back before the cameras again on July 1 when she sings the national anthem on Parliament Hill in Ottawa — an invitation that came directly from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. See article on page A29.
A nearly four-year struggle to find a way to provide free dental work for Tri-City homeless people has resulted
in the opening of the first ever free dental clinic in Port Coquitlam. On Saturday, Rob Thiessen of the Hope for Freedom Society and dentists Candace Woodman and Kevin Lauwers welcomed supporters to the Tri-City Dental Aid Clinic. see THIESSEN, page A9

Douglas Horne
NDP
BC CONSERVATIVE
As a wrestler, Chris Wilson took home numerous awards and medals and represented Canada at the Olympic Games. Next week the NDP candidate WILSON for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain is hoping to add another victory to his resume — but this time in the political arena. “People want change,”he said.“Even if they are not sure if they are going to vote NDP, they are really tired of the Liberals.” On the doorsteps, Wilson said many people are not able to identify the current MLA for the riding, an issue he wants to rectify if elected. Town hall meetings and greater input from the community would be a priority, he said, and would help guide his decision-making in Victoria. “When I ask people who their MLA is, most people can’t answer,”he said.“I think that is just tragic. I would be devastated if, after four years, people didn’t know who I was.” The NDP platform will also go a long way toward improving the transit infrastructure in the riding, an issue Wilson said is the top priority for the voters he has spoken with. If it wins a majority, the BC NDP will dedicate a portion of the carbon tax to transportation infrastructure, funds that will be used to improve service in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, Wilson predicted. With so much development in the riding, Wilson said it is time for government to step in and help build the infrastructure necessary to serve the local population. Schools are also needed in the area and Wilson notes that the last time the NDP was in power 20 schools were built in the district. However, he is quick to point out that a vote for the NDP will not set the clock back to the 1990s. Wilson is aware of the negative connotations associated with his party dating back to the last time they were in power, but said there are a lot of different faces and new ideas as the NDP heads into the 2013 election. “It is a much different party with a different focus on a strong business economy,”he said.“I’m a firm believer in free enterprise, but responsible free enterprise. What we have had for far too long has not been responsible.” • For more information go to chriswilson.bcndp.ca.
If there is one thing Shane Kennedy is hoping voters remember when they head to the polls next week, it’s this: they needn’t cast a ballot for the NDP to get rid KENNEDY of the Liberals. He is hoping they will consider the Conservative Party of B.C. and said his campaign in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain gives voters an alternative to the two parties that have ruled the province for more than 20 years. “We are trying to position ourselves as the alternative,”he said.“We want to show people what the Liberals stand for. Here’s what the NDP stands for. We are the alternative.” He agrees with the Liberal’s stance on bringing the Northern Gateway pipeline to B.C. but said the money it generates for the province should be used to fund green industry. Kennedy also wants to see the government focus on long-term planning when it comes to infrastructure. He said the province should follow the United States’ lead, where he said politicians overbuild things like roads and highways in anticipation of future growth. “Costs are always going up,”he said.“It is better to build now than later.” A similar way of thinking should be applied to the construction of schools, which his riding desperately needs, he said. Improved bus service is also necessary in the area and more streamlined routes are needed to make the service more efficient, he added. “Back when I was having to commute to Surrey, I had to take transit all over the place,”he said.“If there was a bus that went over the Port Mann, that would have been much easier.” Federally, the Conservatives tend to run to the right of the Liberals and the NDP. But in the topsy-turvy world of B.C. politics Kennedy said his party is centring itself between the“Liberal’s crony capitalism and the NDP’s tax and spend policies.” “We want to look at what is the meat and potatoes and what is the cake,”he said.“Some of the cake is going to have to go, but we are going to keep the meat and potatoes.” • For more information go to www.kennedy4mla. ca.

The media and political pundits may be writing off the BC Liberals’ chances of winning next week’s election, but Doug Horne said he’s hearing a different story from votHORNE ers in his riding. After weeks of knocking on doors, the BC Liberal MLA for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain said he is even more confident he will win next week and of his party’s chances as a whole. “I’m getting great reactions at the doors,”he said.“I am confident, not just provincially but locally. People are aware of the job I have done.” One of the accomplishments he highlights is his government’s part in bringing the Evergreen Line to the Tri-Cities. While completion of the project is still a few years away, he said the Liberals were instrumental in breaking the“log jam”and getting construction on the rapid transit line started. But there is still more work to do, he added. More focus must be placed on how to maximize the Evergreen Line and connect residents to their local stations through an improved bus service, he said. As for new schools in the area, Horne believes it is possible for the province to use seismic upgrading funds to build a new school in the area. The incumbent candidate also takes issue with some of the NDP’s spending promises. Contrary to the opposition party’s assertions, he said their platform is not fully costed and would likely create a budget deficit or lead to larger tax increases. “All the things they have done are on the back of a napkin,” he said.“The math just doesn’t make sense.” Horne acknowledges that the BC Liberals have also run deficits recently, but said that was in large part due to the 2008 global economic downturn. Now that the crisis is in the rearview mirror, he said people want the provincial budget to be balanced, something he does not believe voters will get from the NDP. “They are all the same guys that were there the last time they were in government,”he said.“Most of their fresh faces are senior union leaders. It is all organized labour. We already played that movie once and it didn’t turn out that well.” • For more information go to www.douglashorne. ca.

On the campaign trail, Ron Peters is learning to do a lot with a little, a characteristic he said will benefit him should he be elected in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain next week. PETERS The Green candidate for the riding may not have the money for expensive advertising and lawn signs but has focused his effort on talking to anyone who will listen about his party’s platform. “If you pick me up and shake me, everything rattling in my pockets is my campaign budget,”he said.“It is not a big party. It isn’t a party with a lot of resources.” But he said it is a party with a lot of ideas, and some of the planks in the platform are resonating with voters. He is disappointed with the BC Liberals, whom he says have been draining resources away from public transit and putting them toward expensive highway mega-projects. “The new Massey Tunnel is another one of those things,”he said.“It is going to cost something like $3 billion. When I think about the people from here who can’t get a bus going up the hill a bit in Burke Mountain, I wonder if we really want a super flashy new tunnel.” He also believes that with a bit of planning and some new ways of thinking about public policy, the government could be more effective and efficient. For example, when it comes to health policy, most parties are talking about a need for new hospitals and more doctors, he said. Peters agrees with those sentiments but said more can be done in terms of prevention and education that could keep people out of the emergency room in the first place. “I don’t think we should be making cuts in those areas but we should be pushing the resources up the stream where people don’t need to go to the hospital,” he said.“We want to keep people out of the hospital, which ought to be the last resort but tends to be the first resort.” • For more information go to www.greenparty.bc.ca/ ron_peters.
When politicians run for office, they usually woo voters with the promise of a new infrastructure project or increased funding for pet programs. Not Paul Geddes. The Libertarian candidate for GEDDES Coquitlam-Burke Mountain is running on a platform that seeks to dismantle much of government and many of the initiatives touted by the other parties. He isn’t even that big of a fan of democracy. “I want liberty,” he said, while sitting at the kitchen table of his Coquitlam townhouse.“I don’t want democracy. Liberty means leaving people alone with their own lives and property. I don’t want people to vote on who I can marry and what drugs I can use.” When it comes to policy, Geddes strays from the typical platforms put forward by the candidates from the major parties. For example, he believes that the local transportation authority should be scrapped in favour of allowing private enterprise to run the transit system. In Geddes’ vision, businesses would be free to build their own rail lines or bus services where there is demand. This would free people from the burden of having to pay for projects like the Evergreen Line, which he calls a drain on the taxpayer. He also believes government needs to get out of the way of business when it comes to education. Geddes would like free enterprise to step in and offer a variety of education programs, allowing families to choose what is best for their children. “I want experimentation,” he said.“I want innovation. I want people to be free to pick the type of school they want. We don’t want to fit everyone into a cookie cutter school.That would be terrible.” Geddes has no illusions about winning the riding when the votes are tallied next week. He said his goal is to get the Libertarian message out to as many people as possible and change the way voters think about their government. “I want my phone to be busy,”he said.“I want people calling me up asking what this Libertarian thing is all about.” • For more information go to libertarian.bc.ca.

Duplex damaged
OSTEOARTHRITIS
& SURGERY FREE PUBLIC FORUM
A Port Moody duplex was badly damaged by fire late Sunday night. The 911 call came in shortly after midnight for the fire at the Tuxedo Drive duplex. PoMo Fire Chief Remo Faedo said it appears the fire started at the back of the duplex underneath the deck, where there was a pile of wood chips. “The fire found its way up the building and got up into the attic space, that’s where a lot of the damage occurred,”Faedo said. Fire department and insurance company investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire, which is estimated to have caused about $200,000 in damage. Residents on both sides of the duplex were already safely out of the house when fire fighters arrived. The damage is more significant on one side but Faedo said residents on the other side of the duplex haven’t been able to move back in due to the smell of smoke. One firefighter sustained a minor injury battling the blaze.

The four bruins were also spotted last Thursday climbing the fence to check out fingerlings in the Hyde Creek rearing pond, according to Hyde Creek Watershed Society volunteer Jean Peachman, and it took a lot of noise-making to scare them away. Const. Ambrose said education has failed to stop people from leaving their garbage out and he anticipates handing out more $231 fines under the Wildlife Act. “With this hot weather that we’ve seen, we’re going to see more bears coming out of hibernation,”Ambrose predicted. Drake Stephens, urban wildlife coordinator for the city of Coquitlam, says he’s aware of the PoCo bear family even though their area of refuge is outside of his jurisdiction. “If mom taught them garbage is their prime food source, they are going to be problems wherever they go,” Stephens said in an email. People living close to green belts are encouraged to adhere to their city’s garbage bylaws, to secure garbage bins and eliminate other attractants, especially now that bear season has started, both Ambrose and Stephens say. “If residents don’t want harm to come to these bears, they will need to be diligent about not feeding them intentionally or unintentionally. Bird feeders should be taken down, barbecues cleaned, pet food should not be left outside and, most importantly household garbage must be stored in a secure place that bears can not access,” Stephens said. Last year was a belowaverage season for bear incidents in the Tri-Cities because many troublesome bears from the previous year had been shot or relocated. In Coquitlam, for example, no bears were destroyed because of being habituated to garbage, and only four bears were destroyed at all, compared to eight in 2011 and 9 in 2010. • Bear incidents should be reported to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service at 1-877952-7277. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Mounties are targeting high-risk drivers this month Coquitlam RCMP’s traffic services section in a release. “Many driving behaviours, like tailgating, may seem harmless but the truth is they increase your risk of collision at intersections — potentially injuring or killing
yourself and others.” Police say high-risk driving is one of the leading contributors in about two-thirds of all traffic fatalities. Throughout May, officers will be watching for drivers who are distracted, run yellow or red
lights, or speed excessively. To keep safe on the road, follow these tips from the RCMP: • Slow down as you approach intersections and remember that a yellow light means to stop if you can do so safely.

Burke work $17.8M By Janis Warren
ON THE MOVE AT CITY HALL
The Tri-CiTy News
New roads and reservoirs will be built on Burke Mountain after Coquitlam city council this week approved a plan to borrow $17.8 million. The approval came after the results were announced from an alternative approval process, a vote held in March and April that asked Coquitlam residents to visit city hall and fill out a form if they didn’t want the city to borrow. The voting method, which requires at least 10% of the electorate to challenge a proposal, is permitted under B.C.’s Community Charter and is often criticized as favouring municipal governments; for Coquitlam, that would mean at least 8,283 voters would have had to oppose the plan. In a report to council, clerk Jay Gilbert stated the city received 10 responses over the twomonth voting period. At Monday’s meeting, city council made no comment as it unanimously passed fourth and
Coquitlam city hall is looking a little different these days. This week, the engineering as well as the development services and planning departments moved to the ground floor, to the space once used by the City Centre library branch. That branch moved last year, two blocks south, to a city-owned building next to Henderson Place mall. The city hall renovation work does not include the relocation of the building permits, licensing and bylaws divisions, which will stay on the second floor.
final reading of the 2013 Capital Program Loan Authorization Bylaw. As a result, the city will borrow $17.8 million for $21.9 million worth of infrastructure projects, most of them on Burke Mountain, where the city is building a community for 25,000 new residents over the next 20 years. City staff say the $4 million not borrowed will come from city sources, including development cost charges (DCCs) already collected and cash that is to be borrowed, then repaid using future DCCs.

The washrooms at Coquitlam’s Blue Mountain Park will be
closed this and next week for roof repairs. City crews shut the restrooms by the tot park yesterday (Tuesday) until Victoria Day, May 20; however, port-a-potties will be available for park users. Meanwhile, the spray park will open on Saturday, May 18 while the wading pool will be open on June 15. The city has made a number of changes to Blue Mountain Park this year, including adding new playground equipment and tearing down the old change rooms. The wading pool will also eventually be decommissioned as the spray park gets upgraded, city managers say. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Thiessen: ‘I’m very grateful for them’ continued from front page
It was built with donated time and $200,000 worth of donated materials and equipment. The couple has been instrumental in establishing the clinic, which will start taking patients one day a month, starting in July, at Northside Church on Kingsway Avenue in PoCo. Thiessen acknowledged the clinic would never have come together without the determination and effort of Woodman and Lauwers, who work at separate clinics in Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam. The couple not only took the project on but worked with their associates to gather equipment, a lengthy process that took years to complete, and have also received commitments from other dentists and hygienists to donate their services. “I’m very grateful for them hanging in there,” Thiessen told The TriCity News. The clinic will provide a wide ranges of services to homeless people so they don’t suffer pain needlessly or have to deal with diseases related to poor oral health. “It’s a very central part of a person’s health,” Thiessen said. “It’s not

Kevin Lauwers and Candace Woodman are Tri-Cities dentists — and husband and wife — who are working with the Hope for Freedom Society to open a dental office to service local homeless people. just cosmetics, it’s all the things around it.” People living on no or very low incomes can’t afford dental services to maintain their teeth, and then when they do see a dentist because of a bad tooth, they usually lose it, which further removes them from mainstream society.
“They become embarrassed when they lose their smile,” Thiessen said, adding that he has known people who have shied away from seeking work or approaching a landlord because they think they will be turned away because of their missing teeth. Dr. Lauwers, who
started dentistry eight years ago with the idea of giving back, said he jumped on the idea of providing free dental services, and his wife, Candace, who works with Dr. Myrna Pearce and Associates, was open to the project, too. Both were already treating patients for free on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Now they’ll be able to help people closer to home. “I’ve never believed that finances should be a barrier to accessing care, especially if you’re in pain,”Lauwers said. The couple believe they have a gift that should be shared with others and their passion has brought others into the project. Many people have contributed to the clinic, including the construction contractor, Northside Church, dental suppliers, the Rotary Club and the BC Dental Association. “If you find out in your own neighbourhood that something could be done, it’s up to you
to find your gift and go out and do it,” Woodman says. Now, after shaking the trees for supplies and equipment, including dental chairs, worth $11,000 each, they are ready to improve the smiles of people living homeless and povertystricken in their neighbourhood. They’ll start with the most urgent cases, and move on to restorative and preventative care, including education and instruction. For Lauwers and Woodman, opening the clinic is a dream come true and, in their experience, people benefiting from free dental work more than appreciate the help. “This is not a challenging demographic, this is a demographic that has been neglected. They’re not less needy because they are poor,” Lauwers added. • For more information or to contribute, contact the Hope for Freedom Society at hopeforfreedom.org.
WHAT’S NEEDED
Supplies and cash are needed for the new TriCity Dental Aid Clinic. The following is a list of equipment that is required: • surgical instruments and surgical hand pieces; • endodontic (root canal) instruments, equipment and materials; • restorative instruments and materials; • digital x-ray unit and software; • and daily supplies, including gloves and sterilization bags. As well, allied professionals, such as hygienists, dentists and especially, denturists, are needed to help staff the clinic one day a month.

ith food, transportation and housing costs rising, sticking to the family budget is become increasingly more difficult in B.C. According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, it takes two parents earning $19.62 an hour — each — to support a family of four. The annual recalculation of the so-called “living wage” found the hourly rate necessary to cover rent, child care, food and transportation (after government taxes and levies) jumped 48 cents from $19.14 last year — that’s the equivalent of 2.5%, or nearly double the rate of inflation. We all know that housing costs are to blame for some of this burden but the CCPA study found that rising child care costs, food prices and a 4% jump in Medical Services Plan premiums were also to blame. The problem is, many working parents don’t even make that “living wage” and are getting by on the minimum wage of $10.25. How are families coping? This is difficult to ascertain but the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Force has found that there are increasing numbers of families in “core need,” meaning that their housing costs are so high and their incomes so low that they are at constant risk of homelessness. More people are also using the food bank, according to Share Family and Community Services, and School District 43 is seeing increasing numbers of vulnerable children, and is working with partners to provide breakfast and after-school programs plus other supports. Other families, whose wages are more in keeping with the limit suggested by CCPA, are making some difficult choices to stretch their dollars. They have given up on the idea of a second car, for example, or the dream of an at-home parent and are turning to creative housing choices. For example, more families in the Tri-Cities are living in condominiums and basement suites than in previous years, and those who can afford to own a single-family home are renting out the basement. Meanwhile, per capita debt, although stabilizing, is still high, suggesting that the Canadian dream, while not dead, is increasingly expensive to maintain.
NDP to voters: Trust us – on logs, power & budget BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA hen Adrian Dix took over as BC NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV. There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports. Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports.“B.C. logs for B.C. jobs”became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily:“Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.” So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signalled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. An NDP is going to meet with“stakeholders”and come up with a plan after it gets a majority government.
W
This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. The party doesn’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills. Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development. This issue featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago. Leadership contender Mike Farnworth, the Port Coquitlam MLA, told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would“mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would“break” contracts if necessary. By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on power purchase contracts. He will“assess them and address them.”The printed platform promises a review“within the limits of existing contracts.”Either his party plans to risk a

Change taxes on property The Editor, Re. “Realtors want Property Transfer Tax bite eased” (The Tri-City News, May 3). Housing is unaffordable in the Lower Mainland partly because of the property transfer tax paid by buyers. But the provincial government is addicted to the almost $1 billion it reaps. Is there a way to lower the cost to first-time buyers, to protect the retirement nest-eggs for seniors and maintain a source of revenue for government? I suggest that a capital gains tax on all real estate transactions should be on a sliding scale declining with the number of years that a property has been owned. It would be paid by the vendor. The new tax might start at, say, 80% on the net appreciation on flipped properties. The government would reap the lion’s share of windfall profits on flips from rezonings.
The Editor, Re. VoteSmart election profiles, CoquitlamMaillardville (The Tri-City News, May 1). I live in the riding of Coquitlam-Maillardville, where we have three candidates in the provincial election. I’m familiar with the NDP and BC Liberal candidates thanks to media interviews and the all-candidates meeting but the Green candidate remains a mystery. I fail to understand why someone would put their name forward and then disappear. But that appears to be exactly what the Green candidate, Ed Stanbrough, has done. He has not provided information to the local media and when I tried to call him to talk about issues that are important to me, I gave up after getting a strange message that didn’t even give his name. Stacey Robinsmith, Coquitlam
NO-SHOW AT CANDIDATES MEET
The Editor, I think it is important to be an informed voter, which is why I attended the all-candidates meeting for Coquitlam-Maillardville last week. Thanks to the two candidates who participated for an entertaining and informative meeting. Unfortunately, the Green Party was represented by an empty chair. I was looking forward to hearing “Ed” but he will remain a mystery. If voters in Coquitlam-Maillardville can show up for such an important community event, surely someone who wants to be elected and has put his or her name on the ballot should have the courtesy to attend. I’m left wondering what kind of an MLA would a candidate who can’t be bothered to attend the only all-candidates meeting in this riding make? There wasn’t even an apology from a Green Party representative, adding insult to injury. For me, it is only a two-way race in my riding: NDP versus BC Liberals. Is this what the Green Party intended all along? If so, why bother? Steve Bailey, Coquitlam

The tax might decline by 4% for each year a property has been owned by the vendor. After 20 years, the capital gains tax would be zero. This new tax would make home prices more affordable by dampening speculation. The revenue to the provincial government might be partially allocated to build more social housing, co-op housing and geared-to-income rental housing, which would further moderate the cost of housing.

The Editor, This week marks National Nursing Week in Canada and on behalf of Crossroads Hospice Society, I would like to recognize the exceptional work of the Fraser Health nurses who care for our terminally ill patients at the Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice in Port Moody and within our communities. Working to provide the clinical side of hospice care, the nurses accept the ideal that treating the dying with dignity is our primary concern and maximizing patient’s quality of life our single goal. With the emphasis on providing compassionate care that promotes maximum comfort, these nurses work tirelessly on behalf of our patients. It is clear to us that our nurses have truly embraced the philosophy of hospice care and have come to affirm life and embrace mourning as a natural part of that process. This difficult task is performed with skill, dedication and professionalism. This week, we celebrate our hospice nurses and recognize their contribution in helping us fulfill our mission of offering dignity and compassion to those affected by endof-life experience.

Target opens doors at Coquitlam Centre mall By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Target Canada president Tony Fisher guides media through the new store at Coquitlam Centre mall on Monday morning.
The president of Target Canada says his company is hoping to hit the bullseye when it comes to competing with B.C.’s established retailers, offering shoppers everything from groceries to patio furniture in the nine stores that opened yesterday in this province — including one in Coquitlam. Tony Fisher spoke with reporters at the Coquitlam Centre store the day before the store was to open, saying Target will offer a “onestop shop” for Canadian consumers looking for the same cheap, chic wares available in Target

stores in the U.S. Fisher said his company has an aggressive marketing strategy when it comes to besting other American big-box retailers making their way north such as Walmart, which has a store in Port Coquitlam. But while he said Target Canada hopes to distinguish itself with bright stores with wide aisles, the latest trends and friendly staff, Fisher didn’t guarantee the same prices Canadians are used to seeing when shopping south of the border. Fisher, who also spoke later in the day at the Vancouver Board of Trade, said the price gap
between Canadian and American goods is a source of “frustration” and he cited a recent federal government study that indicated the cost to do business in Canada — including manufacturing, larger wages, taxes, fuel, etc. — is higher here, given the territory to cover. Asked what would prevent Lower Mainland shoppers from continuing to visit the Target store in Bellingham, Fisher responded, “We are not competing with ourselves. If people want to shop in Bellingham, that’s fantastic. We are not going to stop people from crossborder shopping.” As for its 22 new west-
ern Canada stores that opened yesterday, Fisher said his company spent $10 million to $12 million in renovations at each of the former Zellers sites. As well, Target Canada has plans to make all of its stores certified in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) over the next few years. The Coquitlam Centre Target has virtually the same layout as the former Zellers but includes a grocery along the east wall. A Minnesota native, Fisher said Coquitlam was picked because “it’s a fantastic location and a great consumer marketplace.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Road pricing one Metro issue that divides parties By Jeff Nagel
VOTESMART PrOVINcIal elecTION
Black Press
Whether road pricing should finance transit expansion in Metro Vancouver is one regional issue where the clearest lines have been drawn between provincial political parties. It’s one of the questions put to the parties ahead of the provincial election by the Metro regional district on its new advocacy website, localgovernmentmatters.ca. As of Monday, the BC Liberals had yet to respond but the NDP, Greens and BC Conservatives had all provided answers. Most responses, particularly from the NDP, pledge mainly to work with local government on key issues without taking a detailed position. On the question of enabling road pricing to raise more money for TransLink, the NDP said only that it “will be open to a discussion with a reformed TransLink board.” As for how TransLink will be restructured, the NDP has said it would put municipal elected representatives back on the board but did not spell out details. The Greens go farthest to endorse higher charges for motorists to drive in the region, saying the party supports a variety of strategies, including road pricing, parking pricing and congestion pricing. BC Conservatives are staunchly against road pricing. “Drivers should not be punished with tolls and taxes at every road and bridge to pay for TransLink,” said the Conservatives’ response. The BC Liberals, who have been under fire from
MaY 14, 2013
Conservative candidates in Surrey for introducing tolls on the Port Mann Bridge, have promised a November 2014 referendum on new funding sources for TransLink and leader Christy Clark has said she opposes tolls on existing roads and bridges. Clark said the referendum would allow voters to block new funding to TransLink if they
don’t support it, although Transportation Minister Mary Polak had previously suggested the referendum would make voters provide more revenue to TransLink one way or another, by choosing the most acceptable source. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, who is running for the BC Liberals in Surrey, said he’s unsure why his party had not yet

ment by industry, the NDP pledges to renew the Agricultural Land Commission and protect the ALR, in concert with various support programs for agriculture. The Greens caution the ALR is “popular with urbanites” but can hurt farmers as it restricts their ability to realize a reasonable return from their land when they retire. On the question of how Metro should keep pace with growing population and demand on its
infrastructure, the Greens said the region should not continue with unlimited growth but should look to other tools to cap populations at sustainable levels. Metro board chair Greg Moore, mayor of Port Coquitlam, said it was “unfortunate” the BC Liberals did not respond as the path chosen by the next government will decide how TransLink is reformed and how much higher residents’ taxes must climb to pay for infrastructure upgrades. jnagel@blackpress.ca

responded to Metro’s questions but added the Liberals are working on it. BC Conservative responses highlight the party’s promise to scrap the carbon tax, although critics question where the lost revenue would be recovered. The NDP, meanwhile, pledges to redirect some carbon tax revenue (now going to corporate tax reduction) to public transit initiatives. The Greens support a higher, more “robust” carbon tax.

Top cop rose through ranks McCabe also served in Ireland and Edmonton Former Port Moody police chief Len McCabe, who served on the force from 1959 to 1987, passed away on Friday just shy of his 88th birthday. Born in Ireland on May 11, 1925, McCabe became an officer in the Royal Ulster Constabulary from 1949 to 1953, when the family emigrated to Canada. He served with the Edmonton Police Service from 1953 to 1956 before moving to B.C. McCabe settled in Port Moody and joined the police force here in 1959, rising through the ranks until he was appointed chief in 1969. “He was the only one to ever rise through the ranks and become chief there,”said Doug Macdonell, McCabe’s son-in-law and a former police officer. One of the most significant points in McCabe’s career came in 1976, when Donald Hay was caught coming out of a trap door in the floor of his garage; below the trap door was a dungeon and 13-year-old Abby Drover,
Len McCabe was Por t Moody police chief from 1969 until 1987. who he had kept imprisoned for six months. “It affected him a lot,” Macdonell said of the Drover case.“Going down into the dungeon to see where Hay had held her, to see the degradation and the filth he kept her in for so long. And especially at the time, she was the exact same age as his daughter. After that, he used to drive her to school.” Having been part of the family for the past 25 years, Macdonell described McCabe as“the greatest grandfather.” “I credit Len so much with the fact that the family is such a close family,”

he said.“He was a big deal to all the grandchildren, and myself as well. I went to him with the big decisions in my life.” And while his relaxed Irish nature never had McCabe sweating the small stuff, Macdonell said, it was a different story for those who ran afoul of the law. “Port Moody was a very safe place for people who stayed on the right side of the law but if one of those people stepped on the wrong side, Port
Moody was renowned in those days for its adherence to law and order.” McCabe leaves behind his wife of 59 years, Marlene, as well as five children and 12 grandchildren. • The public is welcome to attend McCabe’s funeral on Friday, May 10, at 2 p.m. at the Calvary Baptist Church (1635 Regan Ave., Coquitlam). In lieu of flowers, donations to Crossroads Hospice are welcome.

Gardening newbie? Just ask him By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy NewS
The recent rays of sunshine have prompted many people to venture outside to take stock of their yard but for new homeowners — or those just new to gardening — the sudden expanse of plantable space can be a daunting prospect. That’s where Wim Vander Zalm can help, with a new book out just in time for the spring planting season. Just Ask Wim! speaks to the novice gardener with detailed information on what to do when, including a month-bymonth checklist, and answers to more than 100 of the most commonly asked gardening questions. “I’ve been told by so many people, ‘You should
write a book... just put it in a book form and then we’ve got it in writing and we won’t forget it,’” said Vander Zalm, the owner of Port Coquitlam’s Art Knapp Plantland in Port Coquitlam (and a frequent contributor to radio and TV gardening shows, as well as the author of several magazine gardening columns). His longtime editor, Carol Pope, promised to make the book-writing process an easy one “but those were her famous last words,”Vander Zalm said. The research work had the Tri-City resident combing through old columns and his own 30 years in the gardening business to compile the 100-plus list of gardening questions (the answers, apart from some of the Latin plant names, were
already in his internal filing cabinet). Vander Zalm said the key was in finding a good mix of questions on everything from lawns to pruning to vegetables and perennials — and offering answers that will help to educate the new gardener for the long haul. “If someone asks when to lime, I don’t just say maybe in the spring and maybe in the fall again,” he explained. “I go into why you need to lime so they understand the purpose.” But the whys, he adds, are written specifically for people who are just starting to get their green thumbs in the dirt. “I looked at so many garden books... but they all seemed like they were being written for their peers,”Vander Zalm said. “I really wrote this for

“I almost feel like standing there and saying, ‘Hey, I could sign this for you,’” he joked. “I’m very proud of it.”

Coquitlam tweaks plans for trails & paths 35 km to be added to city’s current 95 over next 20 years By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS
Coquitlam has tweaked its decade-old Master Trail Plan (MTP) and is on track to add another 35 km of trails and multi-use pathways over the next 20 years. At the April 29 council-in-committee, city managers unveiled the updated MTP, which will now be linked to the city’s budget process and to neighbourhood plans and the Strategic Transportation Plan, said Kurt Houlden, Coquitlam’s director of planning and infrastructure.
As well, the reworked MTP shows improvements to address privacy, safety, wildlife and watercourse protection, regional connections and costs. Houlden said the city is busy on trails this and next, with attention to the Mundy Park bike path, Coquitlam Crunch, Coquitlam River recreation trail system, R i ve r v i e w c o m m u nity trail, Pipeline Road bike path and northeast Coquitlam neighbourhood trails. As well, the city plans to issue a new guide for the public to enjoy Coquitlam’s current 95 km of trails and multiuse pathways. And in the next five years, Houlden said, focus will also be paid

to off-road cycling, the Maillardville Trail, the Laurentian Park multiuse trail and transit-station areas. Park and trail work is typically funded through development cost charges. Last year’s city survey by Ipsos Reid showed that trails are the second most frequently used amenity after parks. Coun. Brent Asmundson said Coquitlam needs to fill gaps in many sections to join trails not only within the municipality but, also, to neighbouring cities. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Good reads and a good laugh with a frying pan and will do anything for those she cares about and you have a recipe for disaster. Add in upset flamingos, a dog named Rhett and the local mob looking for millions of dollars that have been missing for years, and you can’t help but laugh your way through this book. As a longtime fan of Jennifer Crusie and her off-beat romances, it was interesting to see what happens when she teams up with Bob Mayer, who writes science fiction, thrillers, and historical fiction.The two of them combine wonderfully to create a fun, fast-paced read. • Douglas Adams: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a trilogy in five parts, is a series of books that get funnier with each read. Adams’ books depict many ways in which Earth is destroyed, what may have happened to Elvis and what the game of cricket really means, as well as a suggestion as to why humans really developed to what we are now.These books are worth more than one look as with each reading it is possible to find new things to laugh at. Adams’ books are funny on many levels, from overall ideas down to the carefully

Don’t Go Oink! With chapter headings such as Controlling my Life, A Good Deed Goes Wrong and Teenagers from Hell, it is already possible to get a sense of what is to come in this book.

What’s gives kids endless fun (and adults endless pain when they step on the pieces)? Lego, and Coquitlam Public Library is looking to build the ultimate Lego collection. CPL’s children’s department is looking for Lego pieces of all shapes and sizes for the library’s Lego Club. Lego donations are accepted at both branches: Poirier and City Centre. Why Lego at the library? Building with Lego requires organization, planning, concentration and patience, according to a CPL release, while encouraging children to use critical thinking and creativity — it also improves fine motor skills. Creative play helps children become better readers and they build valuable literacy skills as they build towers, trucks, dragons, pirate ships, castles and more. For more information on Coquitlam Public Library’s Lego Club and donations of Lego pieces, visit www.library. coquitlam.bc.ca or call Barbara Weston at 604554-7334.

eading has always been my escape, my source of information, my relaxation and my guilty pleasure. Sometimes, all I really need is a good laugh and I have favourite, go-to authors at these times. As many of these titles are available as audiobooks, I often use them to take the stress out of travel. Play-aways, CD books, MP3 discs and now eAudiobooks have all helped me through rush hour traffic, long waits at airports and very long train trips. Having to choose just one title by each of the following authors was difficult as there are so many deliciously funny titles by each of them. • Patrick McManus: For short stories with loads of laughs, I often turn to Patrick McManus. This outdoor humorist keeps up a fast pace with stories featuring a regular set of characters, including Rancid Crabtree, Retch Sweeney, boyhood pal Crazy Eddie, dog Strange and long-suffering wife Bun. One of the first McManus books I read was Real Ponies
constructed sentences, such as Hitchhiker’s character Ford Prefect’s second theory of why humans are continually stating and restating the obvious: “If human beings don’t keep exercising their lips, their brains start working.” • Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman: Although both these writers are funny as individuals, when they came together to write Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, they took comedy to new heights. I have reread this book more often than any other and always find new things to laugh at. This novel about the Second Coming features an Antichrist switched at birth as well as the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, and creates a modern look at the end of the world. • Christopher Moore: Fool is King Lear told for teenage boys. Moore has taken on William Shakespeare with hilarious results.This book takes a little effort to get into but I promise it is well worth the time. And for those of you not familiar with British vernacular, there are handy footnotes throughout the

book.These along with the author’s note, titled “You Cheeky Git,”are well worth a read and it may actually help with this book if you start with these. To find these and other books to keep you laughing, visit your local library — in person or online. Some other writers to laugh out loud with include: Christopher Buckley, Helen Fielding, Tom Holt, Janet Evanovich, Laurie Notaro, Rick Mercer and Oscar Wilde.

Garage sales set for Saturday Port Coquitlam held its city-wide garage sale a few weeks ago and now it’s Coquitlam’s turn. The city of Coquitlam-sponsored sale — aimed at helping residents find new homes and uses for their unused items without taking them to the dump — runs Saturday, May 11 and hundreds of households have signed up to take part. This is a great opportunity to get rid of outdated furniture, old golf clubs, kids’ games and dog-eared books. The city-wide garage sales have become a spring tradition. Last year, 125 homes signed up in PoCo and on average around 300 take part in the Coquitlam city-wide event annually.

Items not sold during the garage sale can be donated to several local charities, including: • Salvation Army Thrift Store, 2275 Elgin Ave., PoCo; • Crossroads Hospice Thrift Store, 2780 Barnet Highway, Coquitlam; • Share’s Treasures Thrift Store, 2404 St. Johns St., Port Moody; • Shop-4-Paws Thriftstore, 1049 Ridgeway Ave., Coquitlam; • and Value Village, 552 Clark Rd., Coquitlam.

The look and feel of genuine wood in an easy-to care-for composite decking material. TimberTech maintains its color and beauty for years without the work of painting, staining or sealing. And, because it resists mildew, warping and insects, there’s no need to replace rotting, uneven or termite-damaged boards. This saves time and money over the life of your deck and fence. Caring for TimberTech is easier than wood and will allow you to focus on maximum enjoyment instead of maximum maintenance.

Latino women enjoy and reveaL the secret of the dance “zumba” and pay homage to their instructor
A
t the Recreation Centre in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, every Monday from 6:30p.m - 7:30 p.m. and Wednesdays 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. a group of women of different nationalities, but all with the same aim meet to Zumba and unlock the stress of every day. In these groups we have Latino women who have been surprised by the Zumba instructor, Shannon Thue! Female Canadian, mother of five children, to whom we want to pay tribute today on Mother’s Day! Shannon is a special instructor and we were fortunate to receive the benefit of her talent through her classes. There exists an invisible thread that connects us, projected through her smile and gestures... Joy, happiness, peace, power, and every positive thing imaginable, in addition to the physically beneficial dance steps. As Latinas, we have noticed that, despite not being Latin, Shannon has a perfect mastery of all our musical rhythms and connects with the entire audience for the 60 minute duration of Zumba! We all leave with the feeling of wanting to eat the world and overcome the impossible! This is why we invite all women and Latina moms to join Zumba! Taking into account, not only the good Latin music, to follow this practice is to achieve this connection between Instructor vs. Participants, which is our “big secret” that we wanted to share on Mother’s Day, with all women! Congratulations to mothers this Mother’s Day! Please visit the Rec Centre in Port Moody, where you will have the pleasure of personally meeting Shannon Thue and receive all the inspiration and energy in one hour of Zumba!

En estos grupos hay mujeres Latinas que hemos sido sorprendidas por la instructora de Zumba, Shannon Thue! Mujer canadiense, madre de cinco hijos, a la cual queremos rendir homenaje hoy en el dia de las madres! Shannon, es una mujer e instructora especial y nosotros hemos tenido la suerte de recibir su talento a traves de sus clases. Donde existe como un hilo invisible que nos conecta con ella Y nos proyecta a traves de su sonrisa y gestos ...alegria, felicidad, paz, energia y todo lo positivo imaginable, ademas de sus acertadas indicaciones de los pasos del baile. Hemos notado, especialmente las Latinas, que Shannon a pesar de no ser Latina, posee un perfecto dominio de todos nuestros ritmos musicales ademas como indique antes, logra conectarse durante los 60 minutos de Zumba, con toda la audiencia! Salimos todas de ahi... con ganas de comernos el mundo y vencer lo imposible! Es por esto que queremos invitar a todas las mujeres y madres Latinas a unirse a la Zumba! Tomando en cuenta, que no solo se trata de una buena musica latina y seguir pasos, es poder lograr esa conexion entre Instructora vs Participantes, que es nuestro “gran secreto” que quisimos compartir hoy en el Dia de las Madres, con todas las mujeres! Felicidades y no dejen de visitar el Recreation Centre en Port Moody, donde podran tener el placer de conocer personalmente a Shannon Thue y recibir toda la inspiracion y la energia en una hora de Zumba!

She’s back! Gillis returns to stage somebody else playing the same part. Cassidy is terrific and we are very encouraging.” As for Gillis’ next steps, she will make a guest appearance later this month as Dorothy in the 45th annual spring show for the Maple Leaf Singers, a choir her grandparents founded; Gillis will sing with the choir during its Wizard of Oz medley. And in July, she will be back in front of live television cameras to sing the national anthem at the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa — an invitation that came from Prime Minister Stephen Harper via Canadian Heritage Minister and Tri-City MP James Moore, who had asked Gillis to sing O Canada at local Diamond Jubilee medal events. For her Grade 12 year, Gillis has set her sights on auditioning for large theatre companies such as Theatre Under the Stars, Footlight Theatre, Royal City Musical Theatre and Arts Club, to name a few. “The more exposure the better,” she said, adding, “The year off has made me a stronger girl and a better actress. I am hungrier to be part of the business more than ever. “I know there is a big stage out there waiting for me.” • Thoroughly Modern Millie runs May 8 and 10 and May 15 to 17 at 7 p.m. at Gleneagle secondary (1195 Lansdowne Dr.). Tickets at $12/$8 are available in advance by calling the school at 604-464-5793 or at the door on show night.
By Janis Warren round this time last year, Coquitlam’s Jennifer Gillis was auditioning to be part of a new CBC-TV reality competition called Over the Rainbow with the aim to be cast as Dorothy in an upcoming stage musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. The 16-year-old was shortlisted after “Dorothy Farm” and, for four months, she lived in the same house as the other contestants also vying for the role of a lifetime — all of which was broadcast before millions of people across Canada. Fast-forward to this spring and the Grade 11 Gleneagle secondary student says she has now “fully recovered” from what she describes as often a brutally tough experience, but one that also opened her eyes to the performing arts world. When she came home after placing seventh, Gillis — the youngest in the competition — decided to take some time off to catch up with her school year and recharge her batteries before heading back into the limelight. Tonight, Gillis makes her return to live theatre, opening Thoroughly Modern Millie for the high school that rooted for her throughout the T.V. competition. She plays Millie, a small-town woman who moves to New York for wealth — not love. Gillis said she’s grateful to drama teacher

Being double cast with someone who has had so much attention “is a little nerve-wracking,” Stahr admitted, “but it also makes you a bit competitive to see who has the bigger audience. I’ve just advertised to my friends as much as I can.” Still, while overshadowed, “we’ve grown closer,” Stahr said of her former Lindbjerg alumnus.“We support each other.” Gillis said Stahr offers a fresh spin on Millie and hopes theatre-goers see both girls perform (they play alternate nights). “I have been double cast in many shows and I love it,” Gillis said. “I learn so much from
Ashley Freeborn for picking her for the lead role when she got back last fall. “I was really stressed out about trying to catch up with half a semester of Grade 11,” Gillis said. “I definitely needed to take a break from everything and re-evaluate the situation so, for me, Millie was the right thing to do at the right time.” But while all eyes will be focused on Gillis during the production that includes 34 Musical Theatre 11/12 students, the role of Millie will be shared by Cassidy Stahr, a 15-year-old triple threat with Lindbjerg Academy who’s making a name of her own.

Dirt — an Alice in Chains tribute band made up of (left to right) Bridget Mattson, Braeden Matson, Avery Geres, Luke Tochkin, Flint Patterson and Jessica Vandergulik (missing from photo) — will perform live next week as part of the semester wrap-up for Rock School, a credit course at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary. Fifteen bands will play original and cover songs from Rush, Dixie Chicks and Jimi Hendrix, among others, on Wednesday, May 15 from 7 to 10 p.m. while 16 music groups will head to the Terry Fox Theatre stage the following night to highlight tunes from We are the City, Yeah, Yeah Yeahs and the Pixies, and more. Admission to Rock the Fox is $5 at the door, with proceeds supporting the program that recording arts teacher Steve Sainas founded more than a decade ago and now has a student waiting list. Tickets are also available from Rock School students or by emailing Sainas at ssainas@sd43.bc.ca.
BBB warns about C.A.P.A. The Better Business Bureau of B.C. issued an advisory this week about a Coquitlam-based dance and drama school that appears to have shut its doors for good. BBB said many parents have been charged for dance classes at C.A.P.A. — the Canadian Academy of Performing Arts — that were still outstanding, and dance costumes have gone undelivered. The organization said in a news release on Monday it had sent a letter to C.A.P.A. last month regarding complaints about billing, sales practice, customer service and other issues; however, there was no response. To date, BBB has received about nine complaints over the past 36 months. “Most consumers do not expect a business they are in an ongoing relationship with to suddenly close,” BBB Lower Mainland president Danielle Primrose said in the release. “In this case, we saw some early warning signs due to the company failing to respond to complaints.” C.A.P.A. has been operating since 2006 under Ginny Ludwig and has locations in Coquitlam, Port Moody and Pitt Meadows. A call to C.A.P.A. was not immediately returned.
MOVIE NIGHT
King of Devil’s Island is the May offering from the Port Moody Film Society. The award-winning 2010 drama with subtitles — starring Stellan Skarsgård (star of David Fincher’s The Girl with

show (plus a $5 annual society membership).

Their exhibit will be in the Atrium Gallery until June 1 while, in the Mezzanine Gallery, there will be a new paint-on-glass show by Carlo Clausius, called Behind the Glass. The grandson of Karl May, a renowned Canadian contemporary painter, Clausius grew up with May and studied his drawing, colour-mixing and hinterglass skills. • The opening reception is Thursday at 7 p.m. at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave.).

If you visit Mackin House — one of the oldest homes in Coquitlam built during the Fraser Mills hey days — take a gander at the floor in grandma’s room. At the bedside is a floral and diamond rug, measuring 22 by 28 inches, that was donated last spring by the Gone Hooking Group as a way to give thanks to the city’s heritage organization for lending space at Mackin for its summer meetings. The group had spent months to get the carpet just right, digging up an old pattern from 19th century Quebec and hooking it using recycled materials and popular colours of the time. The 40-member group often travels to Lower Mainland destinations during the summer to host hook-ins as a way to save cash on renting large rooms for its weekly gatherings, said Gone Hooking Group founder Freda Jackson.

PM centennial wall hanging out Friday The Tri-CiTy News
Our Wings Are Out of This World
BC Day in the capital Musicians, filmmakers, photographers and chefs are invited to apply to take part in the BC Day celebrations in Victoria in August. Thousands of spectators will be on hand for Celebrate BC Day on Aug. 5 at St. Ann’s Academy National Historic Site in Victoria. The deadline to apply is June 15. Visit www.celebratebcday.com.
By Sarah Payne It’s been more than two years in the making, and now the public can see the Port Moody centennial wall hanging as it nears the finish line. On Friday stitchers will have the entire 14-foot length of the “Stitching Our History” wall hanging spread out in the Port Moody Arts Centre as they stitch on the final pieces and fill in any gaps. “It’s sort-of like the final chance to see it before the actual thing is unveiled,” said Rose Kapp, one of the volunteers involved in spearheading the project. Pieces that couldn’t be applied to the canvas before (some are in materials that couldn’t be rolled up) will be applied and the entire project will be finished off before it goes to a carpenter for framing. “It’s fabulous, it’s filling up beautifully,” Kapp said of the nearly finished project. “It’s just amazing to look at all the different techniques.” About two dozen volunteers have worked steadily on the wall hanging for the past couple of years, and earlier this spring a public “stitch-in” gave people of all ages a chance to make their mark on the artwork. More than 400 people have a hand in the project, 350 of which were part of the stitch-in. “I will admit that I chased some people with my hoops, but once they sat there and did it they enjoyed it, and were quite proud to say they had a hand in it,”Kapp said.

S
ummertime can be full of activities for children. Many children enjoy camping with their families, swimming at local beaches, biking with friends and playing outdoors. However, many children also find themselves at home sitting around without a lot to do. The 2012 Active Healthy Kids Canada report card indicates that kids are spending an average of over 54 hours of screen time per week and only 7% of children and youth are meeting Canada’s guidelines of 60 minutes of daily physical activity. “Camp is the perfect opportunity to help get kids active and outdoors, and away from television and computers. At YMCA camps, kids get the chance to have fun through physical activities, build new friendships, and get an important break from the busy school year routine,” says Lisa Stiver, General Manager of Camping and Youth Engagement for the YMCA of Greater Vancouver. Organizations like the YMCA are committed to helping families and kids live healthier lives, and their camp programs help do just that. All YMCA camps are based around physical activity, and while each YMCA camp is different, one thing remains the same— each day, kids spend 50-75% of the day being active. From overnight camps that help foster independence and teamwork to fun day camps that get kids outside, the YMCA has something for everyone. New this year, YMCA Outdoor Adventure camp will be offered at Mundy Park—registration is now open! YMCA camps are also available throughout Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Gibsons and Deka Lake. For more information, please visit www. vanymca.org/camps or contact 604-939-9622.

or more than 100 years, the YMCA has provided exciting camp adventures to kids ages 5 – 17. Through fun physical activities, kids learn about themselves and grow in self-confidence as they develop new skills and meet new people in a safe, caring environment. YMCA campers receive a minimum of two hours of physical activity per day and participate in global education activities. Moreover, the YMCA believes that no one should be left out of a YMCA experience and that every child deserves to the opportunity to lead a healthy, fulfilling life. The YMCA provides financial assistance to children and families that cannot afford camp on their own. From overnight camps that help foster independence and teamwork to fun day camps that get kids outside, the YMCA has something for everyone.

Many things make Summer Fun! so popular, but a few details really set it apart from other camps. Summer Fun is uniquely designed to allow families to fully customize a schedule and create a personalized summer program packed with the child’s favourite art activities. Kids ages 5 – 12 can schedule a full day of weeklong activities, or simply drop in for one or two classes a day; it’s their choice. After-hours care is also available for this age group. For older youth ages 11–1 4, specialized half-day workshops allow for a more intensive experience, allowing them to delve more deeply into their chosen art form. Place des Arts’ summer teachers are, without exception, top notch. Many of them teach at Place des Arts during the regular programming year and are caring, highly skilled and experienced teachers and artists. They know how to make art fun while also teaching skills and techniques. Additionally, Place des Arts’ warm and welcoming environment makes kids feel right at home. The Summer Fun! program is a well-oiled machine, with staff and volunteers readily available to ensure children’s needs are met and that they are having a great experience. Many children return year after year, thrilled with the skills they learn and proud of the masterpieces they bring home at the end of the week. Summer Fun! 2013 runs from July 2 to August 9 and offers a host of options for kids to choose from.
There are over 60 classes in music, dance, drama and visual art on offer for kids from 5 – 7 and 8 – 12 years old. We also offer Three hour intensives for ages 11 – 14. For more information on Summer Fun!, visit www.placedesarts.ca and download the Summer Program Guide or drop by Place des Arts and pick up a copy. Registration for Summer Fun! may be done online at www. placedesarts. ca or in person at Place des Arts, 1120 Brunette Avenue, Coquitlam.

The Tri-City Daredeviles took on India in Tier 1 Under-18 field hockey at Cunnings Field at Town Centre Park on Sunday afternoon. Earlier in the day the Tri-City Titans defeated the Tri-City Fury 4-2 in a Tier 2 matchup.
Reds take three out of four Coq. Adanacs off to slow during Van. Island road trip start to BCJALL season Team splits doubleheader in Parksville, dominates Nanaimo By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Reds looked like two different teams during Sunday’s doubleheader against the Parksville Royals.
The visiting Premier Baseball League club struggled on defence in the morning opener, allowing the Royals to win the game 7-6. However, the Reds’ bats came alive in the second match of the day and Coquitlam was able to trounce the island opponents 12-0 to walk away with the split. The team’s offence was consistent, with
a run from Jonathan Keltie in the second inning, followed by runs from Brandon Becking, Hayden Jaco and Jordan Zazulak in the third. But the Reds put the game out of reach for the Royals in the fifth, scoring seven runs to mercy the opponents and end the game. The Coquitlam club also faired well on
Saturday, when they took on the Nanaimo Pirates. In the early game, runs from T.J. McCullough in the second and Max Hollingworth in the third were all the Reds needed to defeat the Pirates, who struggled at bats, mustering only one run in the game.
A hat trick from Coquitlam J r. A d a n a c s f o r wa rd Steven Neufeld was not enough to help his team best the New Westminster Salmonbellies last week. The B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League team could not muster enough offense to take the lead at any point
of the tightly played matchup and Neufeld’s five-point performance kept the game close. He and Chase McIntyre both scored in the opening frame against New West, but were still down 3-2 by the end of the first period. Another goal from Neufeld and forward Andy Taylor made it
6-4 in the final, where Neufeld scored his second power play marker of the night. But New West responded with a power play goal of their own and even notched a short-handed goal to win the game 10-8. Adanacs goalie D av i d e D i R u s c i o stopped 36 of 46 shots he faced in the loss.

OBITUARIES
Peter Adler It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, uncle and friend, Peter Adler, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. He passed away at Ridge Meadows Hospital in the early morning of April 22 with his mother by his side. Peter was born in Vancouver and lived his entire life in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, although his passion for travel took him to many wonderful places throughout the world. He also was an ardent fan of the Western Hockey League and attended many games with the New Westminster Bruins of years ago and more recently the Chilliwack Bruins and Vancouver Giants. Peter spent his entire working career as a bookkeeper/accountant most recently employed for over 24 years with Dale Matheson, Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP and their predecessor firm. He has been described as being a genius with an almost photographic memory, able to recall numeric entries from years past. This same mind also could recall almost any bit of hockey history. Left to mourn their loss are Peter’s mother, Hildegard Adler; father, Hermann Adler (Ann); sister, Ruth Adler; niece, Arden Buechert; his many friends, coworkers, and the members of his church. Thank you to Peter’s friends and everyone who supported him throughout his brief hospitalization, including the staff at Ridge Meadows Hospital who tried to make his life more comfortable during his last days. Peter was able to face his final days with strength, dignity, and humour. Please join us in a celebration of Peter’s life to be held this Saturday, May 11th at 2:00pm at the High Way Church, 21746 Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations in Peter’s memory may be sent to the SPCA or to the Living Way Foursquare Church.

The annual Mayday parade is the most recognized event during the May Day Festival. It has been tradition in Port Coquitlam for decades. It’s been said that half the town is in the parade and the other half is watching. This year the parades theme is “Celebrating our Community Through the Decades”. There are over 100 entries including the crowd favourite The Freddy Fuddpucker Novelty Band. This year many of the former May Queens from the past 90 years will join the parade alongside the current Port Coquitlam Royal Party comprised of local school children.

Enjoy the May Day Festival! We’re Proud to be Part of the Community
Mother’s Day Picnic in Aggie Park Mother’s Day is just around the corner. There is no better way to celebrate the day than to spend time together as a family at our Mother’s Day Picnic in Aggie Park. This fun-filled community event takes place on Sunday, May 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Aggie Park in Port Coquitlam located at 3050 Chester Street at Coquitlam Avenue. Co-sponsored by Sylvan Learning and Windsor Plywood, the picnic features free activities for the whole family, along with prizes and giveaways. Also, all moms will be recognized with a flower from the City of Port Coquitlam. Begin the day by treating mom to the Kinsmen Club’s pancake breakfast from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 am or treat her to lunch from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 pm (Cost is $3 to $5). Then, take part in Sylvan Learning’s Mother’s Day Scavenger Hunt! Pick up your scavenger hunt checklist at Sylvan Learning’s booth, and complete the scavenger hunt for a chance to win prizes generously donated by local businesses. Does your mom like gardening? Drop by Windsor Plywood’s Craft Station to create a garden tote toolbox for your mom to use around the garden.
If you have pets they are also part of the family. Kids, 12 years and under, can bring a pet and enter Countryside Kennels’ Pet and Owner Lookalike Contest. Also, kids are encouraged to bring their bicycles and take part in the Bike Parade. Bike decorating begins at 10 a.m. Supplies will be provided, and there will be prizes. The Mayor of Port Coquitlam will lead the bike parade, which starts at 12 p.m. Plus there will be lots of entertainment, which includes music from Jesse the Fiddler, dance performances from The Tiddley Cove Morris Dancers, and an interactive theatre performance by The Queen of Storytime. Other fun activities include complimentary family portraits sponsored by the Port Coquitlam BIA, an obstacle course designed by West Coast Martial Arts, bubbles and facepainting courtesy of Kinder Café, cupcake decorating by Clever Cupcakes, balloontwisting by Bell E. Buttons the Clown, a bouncy castle sponsored by Par-T-Perfect, and goodies provided by Tubsters Mini Donuts.

Happy May Day PoCo I Believe In:
May Day Promenade This year being Port Coquitlam’s Hundredth Birthday, we will be commemorating the event with a full costume promenade from Leigh Square to Aggie Park for a ceremonial tree planting and re-enactment of some of the city’s finest moments in history. The participants for this event include our City Councillors, who will be helped along by talented actors from Second Storey Improv Theatre. I have had several opportunities to attend some of Second
Storey’s productions and I am sure they will have all the facts down correctly…. well… maybe close to the facts… okay maybe just loosely based on the facts. Any way you look at it this will be a fun way to spend your afternoon after the parade. Remember, we will be meeting in front of City Hall at approximatley12:00 and rest assured I have it on somewhat sketchy authority that Second Storey would not even consider poking fun at our city.
• A healthy economy for our children and families here in BC • Elimination of the Carbon Tax • Industrial development with emphasis on responsible environmental policy • Increasing job skills and training • Transparency and accountability

12 and under: Elizabeth Thomas. Title: Where the mountains touch the sky
Description: This picture was taken by my daughter Elizabeth on the dyke along the Pitt River. This was her first time using the tri pod. She said she liked it because the camera’s so heavy, and this kept her picture straight. She likes this picture because even on a sunny day, the snow caps can give you goosebumps.
13 to 17: Dionne Mok Title: Happiness
Description: Every day, from Monday to Friday, no matter it is sunny or rainy, my favourite moment of the day is to walk across Reeve Street from home to school and back home from school with my dearest brother.
