Police seized several prohibited firearms and other weapons after executing search warrants on locations in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge on Wednesday morning. One Maple Ridge man was arrested in the raids by the Coquitlam RCMP, along with the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team, the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team and the Explosives Disposal Unit, but charges have not yet been laid. Police seized guns as well as a hand grenade, a conducted energy weapon (Taser), thousands of rounds of ammunition, multiple sets of body armour and a small amount of drugs. “Any time we can work with a team like this to get weapons, ammunition and drugs off the streets it has an immediate positive impact on community safety,” said Coquitlam RCMP Supt. Claude Wilcott in a release. Police are not releasing any further details on the active investigation.
Coal controversy? Not here PCT in PoMo has been handling coal since 2011
Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer may have some clout regarding port proposal. See page 20

As the controversy over a proposed coal terminal in Surrey rages on, Port Moody’s Pacific Coast Terminals continues its coal-handling operations barely noticed. PCT has been shipping coal from Burrard Inlet under a two-year agreement with Teck Resources that is set to expire at the end of 2013. The contract came
after a testing phase in 2011 that didn’t raise any concerns with Port Metro Vancouver, Metro Vancouver or the city. “We wanted to make sure we weren’t going to be generating any dust from the handling of coal and to make sure we
had the ability to clean our systems to go from sulphur to coal and back without causing any cross-contamination,” said Ken Catton, PCT’s vice-president and general manager. Since 2011, PCT has handled more than
750,000 tonnes of coal, with no complaints from the community. “It’s because there is no dust,” Catton said. “I don’t think people even realize we’re handling coal.” The proposed Fraser Surrey Docks coal port project would export an
additional four million tonnes of coal per year, an increase of less than 10% in the port’s overall coal-handling capacity. The coal would come from the northern U.S. via rail and eventually be shipped to Asia. The proposal has generated significant opposition from Lower Mainland residents and environmental groups, which say the proposed port expansion would increase the amount of coal dust throughout the region, posing a variety of health risks for people and the environment. see DIFFERENT COAL, page 8

A bridal party, duct tape & all Neighbours and friends gather to put on their old gowns again

S
aying“yes”to the dress a second time is the idea behind a party planned for Saturday night in a cul de sac on Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam. A group of about 30 friends and neighbours will don bridal white, or whatever get-up they wore at their wedding, to share stories about matrimonial jitters and marvel at how time has passed since their big day. Sarah Mellett and Jenn Fahey, neighbours who live across the street from one another, said the idea of a bride’s dress party came up during a conversation last fall between a group of friends who were talking about an acquaintance who was about to tie the knot. “Being a bride goes so fast,”said Mellett, noting the mood turned wistful as the women remembered their own wedding days and how lovely it was to wear that dress — the dress that now languishes in a dark closet after just one day of wear. “We thought,‘We should have a wedding dress party,’”she recalled. Invitations were sent

Sarah Mellett and Jenn Fahey with the bride dresses they’ll wear on Saturday at a party in their Coquitlam cul de sac. out to 34 people and only two declined, with everyone intrigued with the idea. Lanterns will be hung
for decoration and prizes will be given away. The music playlist will include a few 1990s gems as well as some kitschy
wedding day songs, such as“Going to the Chapel,” a 1964 Phil Spector song by the Dixie Cups. Of course, lots of pho-
tos will be taken and for those with children, it’s a glimpse of mom before they were born. “Our kids have never
seen us in our bride dress,”Fahey noted,“You never [would otherwise] buy a dress like this.” Her floor-length gown, although slightly wrinkled from 12 years of storage, is still pretty, with a voluminous skirt, elegant back pleats and decorative rosettes. Mellett had to get her dress shipped from Ontario for the event and it, too, is 12 years old but looks brand new— bridal white with sparkling beads on the bodice. “It’s going to be hilarious,”Mellett predicted, as the competition to get back into the dresses got started as soon as the invitations went out several months ago. The guests swore they would do whatever it took to fit into their bridal gowns, no matter how many years since their marriage — even if it took dieting and duct tape. There will, however, be some sad memories along with the charm of
getting dolled up like a June bride. The divorce rate being what it is, a few of the guests will be in gowns from marriages gone sour while others may have a few unhappy memories if their wedding day wasn’t everything they dreamed. But that’s not the point, the women say, this party is about the dress. “There’s no bad feelings for the dress,”Fahey said.“The dress is not a bad memory.” So on Saturday, while many women around the world will be taking their own vows while wearing something new, the women who attend to the bride dress party will relive a magic day under the soft of glow lanterns on a cul de sac surrounded by homes now filled with husbands, kids, dogs and other accumulations of the passing years. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Fukushima’s ‘Ocean to Ocean’ is for grandmother PoCo man quits job to do crosscountry bike ride for Alzheimer’s

K
eith Fukushima has always enjoyed cycling and has even put that love to the test in some endurance bike rides such as a gran fondo. But his latest trip takes that passion quite a bit further. Last month, the Port Coquitlam resident quit his engineering job, packed his panniers and set off on a cross-country cycling trip dubbed Ride to Remember. By the time he reaches Canada’s east coast, he hopes to have raised $12,000 for the Alzheimer Society of BC in honour of his grandmother. “Seeing my grandma go through that, it’s been pretty hard,”said Fukushima, reached last week on a rest day in Calgary. His grandmother

Port Coquitlam’s Keith Fukushima at the start of his Ride to Remember, aimed at raising money for the Alzheimer Society of BC. He is currently cycling across the flat lands of Saskatchewan after battling the hills of B.C. early in his journey. has been struggling with Alzheimer’s for some time but her condition has worsened considerably in the last year. Fukushima had already been tossing around the idea of a cross-Canada ride for a couple of years, squirrel-
ling savings aside for just this opportunity. When a big project at work wrapped up, he knew it was the right time to take the plunge so he contacted the Alzheimer’s Society, which set up an online donations page. “I started to talk to
my friends and all of a sudden I had sponsors jumping on, so I said, ‘Hey, I guess I have to do it,’”Fukushima said.“And I’m getting into my 30s so I feel like, yeah, I’d better do it now before it gets too hard to do it.” Already a seasoned
traveller, Fukushima was accustomed to planning routes and itineraries — but usually for workrelated trips. Preparing for an approximately 4,500-km bike trip was another story, however. “Because I have to
be self-sustained, I had to research lightweight camping equipment, what kind of food to eat... and I tried to bike as much as possible,” Fukushima said. There were two-hour mountain bike rides four to five times a week, and weekend treks of“at least” 100 km but, a couple of weeks into his trip, Fukushima discovered that riding uphill with a heavily loaded bike is a bit more challenging than a standard downhill ride on one of the local hills. “Just in the first day, I was doubting myself because it was so hard, and the second day I had pretty much the hardest hills,”he recalled of the gruelling stretch between Hope and Manning Park — particularly the climb up Allison Pass, a
series of soul-crushing switchbacks that keep the ever-elusive summit out of sight. “Then I started climbing over the Rockies and my legs started getting stronger.” The rainy weather hasn’t helped but Fukushima is looking ahead now to (hopefully) a long flat stretch through the prairies. Once he reaches Ontario, he’ll be heading north through Thunder Bay, where Fukushima’s father was born, and to make a stop at the Terry Fox statue. Along the way, he’ll be documenting his travels at adrenalens.ca/blog and, he hopes, adding to the nearly $4,000 he has already raised for Alzheimer’s research.

Drivers clocked well over limit & cars impounded ting 129 km/h — both in a 60 km/h zone. And on Thursday morning officers on Lougheed Highway near Colony Farm Road in Coquitlam, stopped a driver doing 122 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. “Some drivers have to realize driving at 50 to 70 km/h above the speed limit is not just a dangerous thing to do but it’s deadly,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “Law-abiding drivers will not be able to judge time and distance with an approaching vehicle that is travelling at twice the speed limit.” Chung emphasized that driving at faster speeds means it will
Two drivers were doing more than double the limit By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Three vehicles were impounded in less than 14 hours in the Tri-Cities for excessive speeding — two less than 90 minutes apart. Coquitlam RCMP were checking for speeders Wednesday night on the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam when they clocked one driver travelling 124 km/h and another, less than an hour and a half later, hit-
take longer to stop. “If someone made a turn in front of you or the lights turned red, you wouldn’t be able to stop safely.”

A Coquitlam woman is fighting for her life after a near-drowning Tuesday morning in River Springs. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said emergency services were called by a witness at about 8 a.m. to report a woman was in the small, unnamed lake near Lodge and Parkland drives. Chung said the woman was trying to get into her boat but “she couldn’t quite make it and she went into the water for a period of time.” Officers arrived, pulled her out of the water and performed CPR before she was transported to hospital, where she was still listed in critical condition as of Wednesday night. Police are speaking to neighbours and the woman’s family to find out what happened.

What’s the buzz on bees? In PoCo, say your piece PoCo may allow home beekeeping with restrictions The Tri-CiTy News
tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO
Restrictions to address concerns about safety and even sticky bee droppings would be part of any bylaw that allows backyard beekeeping, says PoCo’s Laura Lee Richard. ones that do most of the biting. Bees will bite if they are being threatened but they aren’t seeking you out like those darn wasps at a picnic.” Bee droppings are another issue, she said, with concerns that the yellow, sticky substance the insects emit during the spring could end up on neighbouring properties or vehicles.

The staff report stated that hives would have to be at least 7.5 m from the property line and could only be located in the rear yard. Hives would also have to be 2 m above grade or located behind at least a 2 m high fence. An on-site water source would be mandatory and measures would have to be taken to prevent swarming through limiting the number of hives in an area, the report said. Port Coquitlam is not the first city in the Lower Mainland to consider allowing urban beekeeping. Vancouver has allowed hives for several years and North Vancouver also permits beekeeping in residential areas. Last month, Port Moody Coun. Gerry Nuttall requested staff in that municipality look into removing a ban on beekeeping.
By Gary McKenna Port Coquitlam will be buzzing as the city moves forward with plans to hold a community consultation on beekeeping in urban areas. Currently, beekeeping is allowed on agricultural lands but council is expected to consider an initiative that would allow the practice in residential neighbourhoods, provided the property meets certain parameters. Laura Lee Richard, the city’s director of development services, said staff will be on hand at the Canada Day festivities in PoCo on July 1 and possibly an upcoming PoCo Farmers’ Market looking for public feedback. “People will have some concerns and that is one of the reasons why we want to go through the consultation process,” she said. “We have identified several issues and we want to make sure those concerns are addressed.” Safety is the most common concern that comes up in discussions about urban beekeeping, according to a city staff report. But Richard notes that the types of bees that are attracted to urban hives tend to be less aggressive and rarely sting. “They are not the bees that are typically biting you,” she said. “It is wasps and hornets that are the

According to a staff report, this can be mitigated by placing a water source close to the hives, ensuring bees will not have to travel far to hydrate. City regulations are also being considered to make sure that bees can be safely kept on residential property without interfering with neighbours.

Final Pattullo forum on Sat. in NW
Public open houses about the future of the Pattullo Bridge were jammed last week and discussions were lively. TransLink and the cities of New Westminster and Surrey have gone to the public to seek comment on 25 potential options for dealing with the aging 75-year-old structure. Small group sessions and public open houses have been held, and there will be a final one at the Inn at the Quay tomorrow (Saturday), 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Six options have been recommended by a committee of the three entities for further consideration. One option is a new four-lane Surreyto-Coquitlam bridge bypassing New Westminster while also rehabilitating the old Pattullo for two- or threelane use. That would cost an estimated $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion and run from King George B o u l eva rd t h ro u g h Surrey’s Bridgeview neighbourhood across to Braid Street and Highway 1’s Brunette interchange. It would allow traffic to bypass New Westminster, going the farthest to address Royal City concerns there about worsening congestion. Two options don’t call for a new bridge at all but rehabilitation of the existing Pattullo for safer three- or four-lane use at a cost of $330 million to $400 million, also funded by tolls. Both would improve seismic and structural safety but risks of head-on crashes would continue as there would be no median barrier in either the three-lane counterflow or four-lane configuration. An all-new bridge near the existing one — either four, five or six lanes — would better resist a moderate quake, river scour or ship collision, all of which could knock the existing 75-year-old span out of service. The costs of those three options range from $820 million for four lanes to $1.1 billion for six. An eight-lane option was ruled out as attracting too much traffic and running counter to goals to move more people by cycling, walking and transit. The five- and sixlane options may spur more auto-oriented development than four lanes, it said. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Different coal continued from front
New Westminster council has opposed the expansion, noting the thermal coal that would be handled at Fraser Surrey Docks is “highly flammable” and of a “very volatile nature,” according to New West Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. Fraser Surrey Docks would be handling significantly more coal than PoMo’s PCT ever has but the lack of concern here could also be due to the type of coal being handled in Port Moody. PCT handles metallurgical coal, which is used to produce steel and is also known as coking coal. “It doesn’t have the same kind of concerns with CO2 emissions such as the coal to be handled at the Surrey docks,”Catton said.

A bear on the Gleneagle school grounds Thursday.
Bear alert Students at Coquitlam’s Gleneagle secondary were under lockdown yesterday morning after a student saw a bear outside the high school doors. Principal Gerald Shong called a Code Yellow to stop the 1,275 students from leaving the school while two staff watched from the lobby to alert anyone arriving late, and escorted them inside the school. At one point, the bruin walked right up to the front door, said School District 43 spokesperson Cheryl Quinton. Police were notified and a conservation officer did a perimeter walk with the principal around the grounds at 11:40 a.m. The Code Yellow was lifted 15 minutes later, when the area was deemed safe.

L
ongboarding has come under public scrutiny after two young adults in West Vancouver swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle and hit a truck, injuring themselves in the process. Is this an issue that other municipalities — including Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody — should take on? On hilly streets, some risk-taking longboarders have taken their lives into their hands and some have sustained injuries. But is that any reason to ban longboarding from some or all streets, as West Vancouver and White Rock have done? Probably not. For responsible longboarders, the sport is a form of transportation. These are the boarders who follow road rules, watch out for cars, wear proper gear and know how to stop in an emergency. True, there is always the risk that a young, unskilled longboarder could get seriously hurt. But with education, skill development, understanding and driver awareness, longboarding could become as accepted, and safe, as cycling.

The ‘luxury’ of staying home with kids AS I SEE IT Adrian MacNair Taking care of your own children can’t be likened to owning a Gucci handbag
I
n conversation with other parents, I’m often surprised to hear them express envy that my wife has been the caregiver of our two children for the past 12 years. “Oh, I wish I had the luxury to stay home with our children,”some would say. Luxury? The thought had never occurred to me that staying home with a child was a choice, let alone something akin to owning a Gucci handbag. In our particular situation, the choice had
been made for us by hard financial reality. My wife didn’t earn enough money for it to make sense that she go to work and also pay for child care, so she stayed home. Over the past dozen years, I’ve heard her express quite the opposite opinion about this so-called choice to stay at home with our children. It would be nice to have the“luxury”to be able to get away from the home for a few hours, for a few days, and do something or think about something else than the 24/7 demands of kids. I suppose it’s a matter of perspectives. For the parent who has a $90,000 income, the luxury of forgoing that income in order to stay at home is one they can’t afford to lose. But for the parent who would only be able to find a minimum wage job, the prospect of earning just enough to pay child care doesn’t exactly lure them into the workforce.

“In a country with a negative birth rate that constantly needs to fill labour shortages with foreign workers, you would think more could be done to support parents struggling to make that “choice” between going to work and staying home with the kids.” The luxury, then, is in having a choice at all. Low-income parents who can’t afford for both to work don’t have one. The shame of it all is that, after a century of feminism and progressive policies that encouraged more women into the workforce, low-income women still suffer by the same, old economic barriers.
They’re still not recognized for the contribution and sacrifice they make to the economy by raising the next generation of workers nor are they rewarded in anything other than the meagre deduction they represent on their husband’s income tax filing. In a country with a negative birth rate that constantly needs to fill labour shortages with foreign workers, you would think more could be done to support parents struggling to make that“choice”between going to work and staying home with the kids. If a parent chooses to stay home because he or she really wants to, that’s fine. But if a parent stays home because going to work won’t help pay the bills, you’ve got to wonder if the system isn’t slanted in favour of the couples who choose to simply get a dog instead.

H
otel Gate, Coquitlam’s nonstory, limps along into another week. I apologize in advance for my part in resuscitating it. So Coquitlam city councillors attended a conference and stayed in a hotel downtown instead of taking SkyTrain or the bus home each night, or carpooling in a Smart Car. Tut, tut. Give it a rest, Andy. This is about as indictable an offence as a city supplying French Vanilla Creamo for city hall’s coffee room. Our city representatives should attend the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Conference. It’s an important civic conference and should be a command performance for councillors to learn, share and network with other Canadian municipal officials. It’s not unreasonable for them to attend and participate fully, and that includes staying at the venue. I wouldn’t even object if they rode the seawall. Gosh, my permissiveness would even extend to allowing them to have a glass of wine without having to reassure Tri-City whistle blowers that it was the cheapest plonk they could find. This non-scandal was trolled up by one city councillor who commuted to the conference, participating just enough to allow him to
criticize his own council colleagues. It was just another stunt in the tiresome single tune he sings about government waste. And swallowing the bait whole is my government-averse colleague, who trumpets the treason. Apparently, he thinks councillors should have bid through Priceline. com for the best deal at the Days Inn and slept five to a room (continental breakfast and internet included!). But the most ignoble thing about Hotel Gate is listening to the mayor and council have to defend their attendance at this conference. We all know that no conference goes from 7:30 a.m. until midnight, nor should they. And trying to quantify the fiscal benefits of attending the conference is an impossible exercise. Anyway, the benefit of attending conferences is professional, not fiscal. This game of government gotcha keeps us rooting around for petty scandals to sell a media willing to continuously advance the theory that our government is our enemy. It’s a silly, counterproductive and purposely distracting strategy. I hope Coquitlam’s mayor and councillors benefitted from and enjoyed the FCM conference and that they will stop making excuses for their legitimate attendance.

For Fathers Work with the longboarders Day, let the ripples flow The Editor, As a paramedic, I have seen the living dead, the dying and death. And as a family member, I have felt the sorrow and agony of death. In the last several months, I have attended the funerals of a friend and a family member. Now, I walk slowly with a heavy, aching heart to my father’s grave. I place flowers in front of his plaque and I wonder if he would be proud of me. It has been more than 40 years since he passed away and I still remember him as a caring, compassionate, generous, loving man, and I wonder if I have passed those values to my children. As I wait for an answer, one can feel and hear the soft whisper of the cool wind, the rustling leaves and the calling birds. It is so peaceful but yet so lonely. I am in a city of a million people. I look towards the city skyline, which is overshadowed by the ominous grey skies. In my moment of contemplation, I am suddenly startled in my surroundings. The landscape is filled with brightly coloured flowers where other loved ones have been remembered. Maybe there are some souls looking down and one is my dad. Waiting and waiting for an answer, my mind slowly drifts to another thought. We all want meaning in our lives and maybe this is part of our eternal destiny. My father has thrown his pebble in the pond of life and his ripples have touched my life and I have touched the lives of my children. Their lives will touch others. Maybe that is my wish, that through all these ripples we will develop a more caring, generous and loving society. I hope I have done my part in continuing and developing this ripple effect. Tell your father and your children you are proud of them, continuing this ripple effect. Bob Lee, Port Coquitlam
The Editor, My son and his friends love to longboard. Unfortunately, longboarding has garnered enough bad press of late to have media-frightened grownups lambast these 14-year-olds with profanities and threats to call the RCMP. Recently, a police officer responding to complaints told my son that longboarding in Port Moody is illegal.The truth is, longboarding in Port Moody is not illegal and for all the years it’s been popular, I don’t know of a single reported accident here — knock on wood. Like all parents, I worry about my children longboarding. I’ve also worried about them jumping on a trampoline, riding a bike in traffic or crossing Ioco “highway” when they’ve taken a bus to school. But rather than insulating my children in bubble wrap to keep them safe, I’ve had to, for my sanity and theirs, talk about road safety, respecting others and making sure they have their proper helmets. Those who take longboarding seriously frown on those who whip around blind corners, doff their helmets, skitch behind cars or go down on their stomachs, all of which seem to be the

Multi-family residents in some Suter Brook and Newport Village buildings will be getting a credit on next year’s recycling bill after staff discovered they were being charged for — but not receiving — pick-up services for the past three years. The mistake came to light during city staff’s solid waste services audit, and was found to stem from an error in rewording the solid waste bylaw in late 2010. Eleven buildings have been incorrectly billed since 2011 at a total cost of nearly $133,000. A 12th building, in Suter Brook, that was recently completed has also signed on to a private collection service, bringing the total for the years 2011 through 2013 to $211,727. Port Moody introduced its in-house solid waste collection program in July 2009, at which point the bylaw required all single- and multi-family

recycling services. The 12 buildings that have contracted private firms for trash removal will be exempt from the bylaw changes until their current agreements expire. Staff will apply the retroactive adjustment of $211,727 to the affected residents’ 2014 utility bills, money that will come from the sanitation reserve. Mayor Mike Clay expressed concern over the challenges in servicing some multi-family buildings, noting some “private companies are undercutting us for their services... I don’t know where they’re taking their recyclables, but I believe they’re taking them for landfill to the U.S.,” adding there are logistical challenges to accessing the garbage and recycling bins stored in the underground parkades of some buildings. Staff said a building caretaker may have to bring the bins up to the street or a city garbage collector may have to go down and get them, but those issues would be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

dwellings to use the city recycling service. In November 2010, council amended the bylaw to include green waste collection, with the intent that all residential properties under the city garbage program would also comply with the green waste addition, but the section requiring mandatory recycling participation was inadvertently dropped. The mistake meant only those residences receiving city garbage collection had to participate in the recycling and green waste programs, according to a staff report presented to council Tuesday. “Financial services continued to bill multifamily recycling services as per past practice in accordance with the original bylaw wording,” the report stated. Council approved first three readings of solid waste bylaw amendments that will bring it back in line with the original intent. And, in the future, staff will inform strata councils of each multi-family building at the time an occupancy permit is granted of the requirement to use city

Two more apartment blocks will be built in a new Coquitlam City Centre neighbourhood. And the development will include a park that will be used by the public but be on private land. On Monday, city council approved a development permit to Polygon Homes for two four-storey apartment complexes on a former mobile home site at 3107 Windsor Gate, off Pipeline Road. Once fully built, the Windsor Gate development is expected to have 1,450 homes in highrises (three towers at 27 storeys and one tower with 25 storeys) as well as townhouses and condos. It will also have a public walkway network and a 20,000-square foot neighbourhood park. The green space will be considered as “semi-public” — that is, used as a public amenity but will remain in private ownership, Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning, told council. Coun. Mae Reid stressed that point needs to be communicated to Windsor Gate residents.

Port Moody council members earned slightly more in 2012 than they did the previous year. The 2012 statement of financial information shows Mayor Mike Clay earned $72,471, of which nearly $24,000 is a taxfree allowance. Former mayor Joe Trasolini, who served until November 2011, earned just over $67,000 the previous year. Council members took home just under $26,000 in 2012 (almost $8,400 tax free), a slight bump from the 2011 rate of about $24,500.
Council expenses ranged from a low of $3,396 for Clay to just over $6,108 for Coun. Rick Glumac. Also ringing in near the top was Coun. Zoe Royer ($5,665) followed by Coun. Diana Dilworth ($5,220), Coun. Bob Elliott ($4,595), Coun. Rosemary Small ($4,574) and Coun. Gerry Nuttall ($3,573). The 2012 council remuneration reports for Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam have not yet been released. In 2011, Coquitlam’s Mayor Richard Stewart was earning about $119,000 (plus $8,000 in transportation allowances) while councillors took in $53,800 apiece (plus a $3,500 allowance). In PoCo, Mayor Greg Moore received about $85,400 and councillors
received about $31,600 each. Staff salaries in Port Moody for 2012 — at close to $17.3 million — went up slightly from 2011, about $17,400. However the number of staff earning more than $75,000 went up, from 75 in 2011 to 79 last year, costing taxpayers an additional $420,575. Of those, 23 staff members are making more than $100,000 (up from 21 in 2011). Top earners include Paul Rockwood, general manager of financial services ($147,356); Tim Savoie, GM of development services ($146,682); Ron Higo, GM of community services ($140,715); city clerk Colleen Rohde ($137,168); and Fire Chief Remo Faedo ($134,961). spayne@tricitynews.com

No info on CPL board member resignation A ‘personnelrelated issue’ behind resignation By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The board for the Coquitlam Public Library (CPL) will look for a new trustee after a member quit last month. O n We d n e s d a y, Coquitlam city clerk Jay Gilbert said the municipality — which appoints trustees but stays at an arm’s length from the library board — received a letter of resignation from trustee Ann Carlsen last month. However, due to privacy concerns, Gilbert was only able to say she had left on a “personnelrelated issue.” A call to Carlsen was not returned by The TriCity News’ print deadline yesterday. Library board chair-
JACK TRUMLEY person Jack Trumley confirmed Carlsen’s departure but declined to comment further. Her position “is currently vacant. It will have to be filled,” he said, noting the matter hasn’t come up before the library board yet. Coun. Terry O’Neill, a trustee, also declined to comment, saying Trumley is the spokesperson for the library board, which is now made up of trustees
VILLAGE OF BELCARRA “Between Forest and Sea”
Trumley, Lance Gueck, Alice Hale, Bertha Rojas, Ron Lee and John J.J. McCullough. Meanwhile, Trumley is keeping mum on the reasons for library director Rhiann Piprell’s sudden exit. Last month, he told The Tri-City News the matter is “strictly confidential between the library and Ms. Piprell” and the board would be recruiting a new director. In the interim, CPL’s deputy director, Silvana Harwood, is filling in the top job and overseeing the city’s two library branches on Pinetree Way and Poirier Street. Piprell, who offered no comment to The TriCity News last month about her departure, was appointed as deputy director of the Coquitlam Library in September 2003 and, a few years later, replaced director Karen Harrison.

Sobeys to pay $5.8B for Safeway stores By Jeff Nagel Black Press
C a n a d a S a f e way stores in B.C. have a new owner. Nova Scotia-based supermarket firm Sobeys, itself owned by Empire Company, is buying the Safeway chain’s 213 Canadian stores for $5.8 billion. The deal with Safeway Inc. also includes numerous in-store pharmacies, gas stations, liquor stores and other distribution or manufacturing facilities across western Canada. Sobeys hasn’t yet decided if it will keep the Safeway name or reflag the stores under one of its brands. Sobeys already has a presence in B.C. through its IGA and Thrifty Foods brands. Adding Safeway’s 75 B.C. stores — including three in the Tri-Cities — will give Sobeys 107 outlets in this province. That compares to 101 for Overwaitea Food Group (which owns Save-On Foods and PriceSmart), 84 for Loblaws (which owns Real Canadian Superstore and Extra Foods), 25 Walmarts and 14 Costcos.

Sobeys is a Nova Scotia-based supermarket firm that is planning to buy all Safeway stores in Canada. ership may also mean changing product lines for customers who continue to frequent the stores as well as possibly different loyalty card systems. Both Sobeys and Safeway offer Air Miles reward points but the new operators indicated they will move to eliminate separate loyalty programs. Big supermarket chains face growing competition as other retailers add groceries to their shelves. “This is a significant and historic event for Sobeys, which has been proudly serving Canadian food shoppers for 106 years,” Empire president
Paul Sobey said. He called the acquisition an “excellent strategic fit” that strengthens the chain presence in Western Canada, and leverages its existing assets to better compete. Empire officials intend to sell off Safeway stores’ real estate holdings and lease the properties back. The planned purchase is subject to Competition Bureau approval. Not everyone’s likes the deal. Some shoppers posting on Canada Safeway’s Facebook page were critical of Sobeys while others on Twitter doubt the takeout of a major grocery player will benefit consumers. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Anmore looks at future By Janis Warren
SPEAK UP
The Tri-CiTy News
Anmore is expected to double its population over the next 25 years and is asking residents how it should handle the extra growth. On Tuesday, the village of Anmore will gather feedback at an open house to prepare for its update of the official community plan (OCP), a general guide on future land development, transportation, recreation, environment and social issues. Mayor Heather Anderson said there are few pressing matters before the municipality of 2,400 residents, who have a median household income of more than $100,000 (compared to $65,000 for the Lower Mainland). Recently, it hired a consultant to look at the village’s financial sustainability, she said. The results of the study will be available in September, after village staff have incorporated residents’ feedback into a draft OCP document and gets ready for another round of public input. The final OCP draft is expected to be ready in the fall before a public hearing in December. Among the consultant’s work will be examining whether Anmore
Anmore’s OCP visioning fair is on Tuesday, June 18 from 3 to 8 p.m. at Anmore elementary school (30 Elementary Rd.). For more information, visit www.anmoreocpupdate.com.

East Road is one of two arterial streets in Anmore. can continue with its oneacre lot sizes. In 2002, two-thirds of Anmore residents voted down a proposal to allow subdivisions of half-acre properties — a decision that formed the basis of the current OCP, which was adopted in 2005. Relaxing the rules for smaller lots would increase the tax base and give relief to homeowners — especially seniors, Anderson said. “Like every municipality, we are struggling with infrastructure costs and providing the best services possible with limited dollars,” she said,
adding, “As the population gets older, residents are saying, ‘I love living in Anmore but I really don’t love managing a one-acre parcel of land.’ It just gets too hard when you’re in your 70s and 80s to maintain that size of a lot. “That’s the message I’ve been hearing from people. They want options for the seniors who don’t want to be forced out of Anmore,”Anderson said. Besides land use, the updated OCP will also consider future recreational areas. Anmore is home to Buntzen Lake, a BC Hydro reservoir that is a popular summer desti-
nation for out-of-towners. With the Evergreen Line set to be built through neighbouring Port Moody — which is also undergoing an OCP update — by the summer of 2016, Anderson expects there to be more demand for recreation by day trippers. As well, the updated OCP will include a section on the Ioco lands, of which Imperial Oil is currently selling 232 acres: 150 acres in Anmore and the remaining 82 (including the historic townsite) in Port Moody. Anderson said village council sees that as a separate component of the new OCP that will have a neighbourhood plan, similar to how Coquitlam laid out its vision for Burke Mountain. “It will be the biggest development that has ever happened in Anmore so we are going to be looking at that differently,” she said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Health officer wields some power over coal Changes possible if coal dust worse than projected By Jeff Nagel BlaCk Press
Dr. Paul Van Buynder, Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer, says he will be looking at health concerns regarding coal dust. Right, the Deltaport coal facility. are made to cut emissions to acceptable levels. He argues that provision plus the health impact assessment should be backed by the port and terminal because it would reassure residents. The coal industry “may well be correct” that coal poses no health risk, he said, but that gives no comfort to the public. “I don’t know if there is a health risk,”Van Buynder said. “What I’m saying is we want more information before we sign off.” The new terminal would initially handle four million tonnes of coal a year, less than 10% of the port’s current coalhandling capacity. Van Buynder acknowledged coal has been shipped through Metro Vancouver for four decades, but said it’s a first at Fraser Surrey Docks, which is closer to homes than Westshore Terminals at Deltaport. Besides the terminal, there are concerns about dust from trains and from the open barges sail-

Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer says he could use his legal powers to force a proposed new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks to keep its promises to protect residents from coal dust. Dr. Paul Van Buynder wa n t s Po r t M e t r o Vancouver — which could soon approve the new terminal — to first agree to a full health impact assessment he says may delay construction by six to 12 months. “I can’t stop the approval,”Van Buynder said in an interview. “But if I demonstrate that there is a health risk, then I have powers under the Public Health Act to force them to mitigate that.” He has used the legislation twice in the last year to force a Port Coquitlam herbal remedy maker to retract misleading advertising and to impose water chlorination in Chilliwack. In the case of the Surrey coal terminal, he says a permit approval should require ongoing testing near homes and schools for coal dust and other particulate. If actual levels turn out to be higher than projected in computer models, he said, coal shipments would stop until changes
said there have been local problems with coal dust — a freak wind blew dust airborne at Westshore last year prompting the firm to spend $8.5 million on better dust suppression.
Train concerns to be considered in the health assessment include not just escaping coal dust but diesel fumes and blocked emergency access to cut-off neighbourhoods. Van Buynder said “amenity” or lifestyle impacts should also be part of a full look at the risks and benefits. “If you buy yourself a nice place on the water in White Rock then you have some expectation about what that means and whether or not you’re going to see lots of noise and coal dust and all of the rest of it.” Still, Van Buynder said it’s likely his legal powers are limited to health risks directly linked to coal and
don’t extend to general train traffic issues. And he said he’s not aware of any local testing of coal dust impacts from trains. In 1998, an environmental health officer with the local health unit concluded it was “unlikely” South Delta residents faced any health risks from Westshore coal dust. Coal Alliance spokesman Alan Fryer maintains the industry is safe and highly regulated by eight different agencies. “A lot of people are reacting as if this is something new,”he said.“We’ve been doing it safely and responsibly and we’ve been getting better and better at it.” Transport Canada classifies coal as non-toxic
and not a dangerous good. The Coal Alliance is urging Metro Vancouver directors to reject a motion opposing new coal exports at a public meeting on the issue slated for Friday. While coal dust has been raised as a local issue, many climate change activists aim to block the burning of more U.S. coal to rein in carbon emissions. Port Metro Vancouver planning director Jim Crandles said he wants to know if medical health officers have a specific health concern they think should trigger a health impact assessment or if they want it done based on public sentiment alone. jnagel@blackpress.ca

THE THINGS-TO-DO GUIDE: Make a hat, see a movie, celebrate Dad
PMAC is mad about hats Compiled by Sarah Payne
T
The Tri-CiTy News
his weekend it’s Dad’s turn to be celebrated, so be sure to show him how much you care — of course, a cool car show and a barbecue or two wouldn’t hurt either.
TODAY: Friday, June 14 FILM NIGHT
The Port Moody Film Society presents the Swedish comedy/drama flick As it is in Heaven. Nominated for a best foreign film Oscar, the movie follows a successful conductor who returns to his childhood home in Sweden’s far north, where he’s asked to listen to the local church choir — and nothing in the village is ever the same. Screening is at 7:45 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Dr., PoMo), following the AGM at 7:30 p.m.Visit www.pmfilm.ca for more info.
Saturday, June 15 SHOW & SHINE
Take Dad to the 18th annual KMS Tools Coquitlam Charity Show & Shine (110 Woolridge St., across from Ikea), where the whole family can check out more than 200 pre-1972 vehicles. With thousands of dollars in prizes up for grabs, show cars turn up from far and wide to participate in the event. Spectators can also enjoy a free smokie-and-pop barbecue, along with eating and chugging contests, live music from Third Degree and more. Funds raised at the event help Team Mexico build houses and schools. The Show & Shine runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.Visit www.kmstools.com for info.
GARAGE GOODIES
Search for treasures, toys and other gems at the Community Volunteer Services for Seniors fundraising garage sale, running from 9 to 3 p.m. at Wilson Centre (2150 Wilson Ave., PoCo).Visit www.cvss.org for details.
MAD HATTER
Join the Port Moody Arts Centre Society for a Mad Hatter Tea Party & Hat Making Extravaganza, running from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Arts Centre (2425 St. Johns St., PoMo). Participants get to make a funky hat for next weekend’s centennial parade (or other upcoming 100th anniversary events).You can bring your own hat to decorate or create an original piece from supplies on hand.

Marilyn Theobald, Rose Kapp and Fitnat Fahrner of the Port Moody Arts Centre Society are already set for the Mad Hatter Tea Party and Hat Making Extravaganza on Saturday afternoon at the PoMo Arts Centre (2425 St. Johns St.). Participants can make an original, wacky creation or bring their own hat to decorate with the supplies that will be on hand, and everyone is encouraged to wear their finery for the June 22 centennial parade and other 100th anniversary events taking place later this summer. unteers will be on hand to guide you through and there will be plenty of tea and goodies as well. Tickets are $2/$5/$15 (family) at 604-9312008 x 0 — numbers are limited, so book your spot early.
IN TRANSIT
Transit users know firsthand that being crammed together on a bus, SkyTrain or West Coast Express car can create a sense of community connection. Three artists explore that very concept in a group exhibit, titled Fleeting, opening at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village (2253 Leigh Sq., behind PoCo city hall) with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. The show, timed to coincide with the city’s public consultation on a new master transportation plan, runs to July 15.
Sunday, June 16 WALK WITH US
Join thousands of Canadians for a morning of fitness and fun in the fight against ALS. The Peoples Drug Mart Walk for ALS leaves Riverside secondary (2215 Reeve St., PoCo) at 10 a.m. Registration opens at 9 a.m., or register online at www.walkforals.ca/bc. Participants can walk, run, ride or wheel along the Coquitlam River, followed by music, family entertainment and a by-donation barbecue and kids’ activity tent. Organizers are hoping to raise $15,000 for families living with ALS.
DANCE WITH US
Celebrate PoMo’s centennial with an ex-
ceptional music performance, presented by theYarilo Contemporary Music Society. The Inlet Theatre will come alive with the sounds of Bernstein’s West Side Story, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and all manner of jazz and classical music favourites in a show that will appeal to all ages — and maybe even have you dancing. The free show kicks off at 3 p.m.
DAD’S DAY
There’s sunshine in the forecast for Father’s Day so be sure to take advantage — especially if Dad is the outdoorsy type. Tri-City trails are beckoning, as are the shores of Sasamat Lake and Burrard Inlet. Kayaking, anyone? Please send Things-To-Do guide submissions to spayne@tricitynews.com.

Sticks, elastics, stories: Math can be fun SFU professor aims to hook kids on mathematics By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
An unusual math class was in progress recently in Coquitlam: It was noisy, not headto-the-page quiet. And the Alderson elementary school Grade 4 and 5 students built strange objects from sticks and elastic bands. The children were learning how to build a tensegrity, a structure in which sticks are held together — and apart— by tension created by the elastics. What the students didn’t know is that they were doing math and the tensegrity they were making is an architectural concept that can also be explained using a complicated mathematical equation. But the kids were just having fun, and that was the idea, according to Veselin Jungic, an SFU mathematics adjunct professor. He has developed the program called Math Catcher: Mathematics through Aboriginal Storytelling, which uses storytelling, pictures, playing with models, and hands-on projects to encourage young people to enjoy math. “The message we are sending is that mathematics is everywhere around them,” Jungic explained. Although the program is appropriate for all students in kindergarten to Grade 12, Jungic is particularly interested in reaching out to aboriginal students and so he incorporates First Nations imagery into the program and brings aboriginal university students into the classroom to be role models. He said kids’ aversion to math starts early and the only way to get over the math stigma is to get to them early. Showing students that math applies to everyday life and getting them to do a hands-on project can

Th o m B o r l é , t h e Alderson teacher who welcomed Jungic into his classroom, believes strongly in the methodology, noting that even struggling students were engaged. “To bring something like this into the class-
room, that is freely given, is amazing,”Borlé said. In addition to building the tensegrity, the students discussed ways math is incorporated in art and in making useful objects. For example, they looked at photos of Stó:lō women weaving baskets and discussed pattern and symmetry. Jungic, who works with aboriginal students in SFU’s bridge programs, said he got the idea of developing the program to support aboriginal students after meeting many who were smart in other
areas of their studies but struggled in math. He developed Math Catcher two years ago and, since then, 1,600 students around B.C. have taken the program. “The problem with math one of attitude. People think it’s OK to be bad at math. But the world is so complicated and so much of it requires math,” he said, adding that if at least one student learns to appreciate the subject through his teaching, then he has accomplished his goal. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

A tale of two owls in B.C. green scene Elaine Golds Barred owls have taken over
T
he northern spotted owl is probably B.C.’s most celebrated and debated endangered species. That’s because this medium sized-owl absolutely requires large tracts of coastal old-growth forests for its survival. This has put its habitat needs on a collision course with the forestry industry, which has forcefully resisted efforts by government to set aside undisturbed forests for owl habitat. This somewhat secretive owl with gorgeous dark brown eyes is strictly nocturnal. They are rather fastidious regarding their diet and focus on catching bushytailed woodrats (i.e., packrats), northern flying squirrels and southern red-backed voles. They tend to pair for life and a breeding pair can require at least 3,600 hectares or more of preferably low-elevation oldgrowth coastal forests to successfully raise its young. They are found only in the southwest corner of mainland B.C. Because their favourite prey items, i.e., woodrats, flying squirrels and voles are not found on Vancouver Island, these owls have never nested on Vancouver Island. At one time, B.C. was considered to support at least 500 pairs of spotted owls. Their prime habitat was probably the old-growth forests of the lower Fraser Valley, now long converted to farms and cities. It’s possible you are living on what was once prime spotted owl habitat — I know I am. When I moved to B.C. in 1989, spotted owls still resided not far away on the North Shore moun-

I was pleased when efforts to stop logging in these watersheds were successful because it meant that remaining old-growth forests would continue to provide critical habitat for species, such as spotted owls, that rely on these areas. Efforts by the provincial government to protect old-growth forests in the Fraser Valley have been far less successful. While a number of spotted owl“recovery plans” have been developed since the mid 1990s, these plans have all been flawed by allowing some logging within prime oldgrowth areas. The number of spotted owls, thought to be around 100 pairs in the wild in 1989, has now dwindled alarmingly to only a half dozen pairs — or fewer. And then the barred owls arrived. Barred owls are ancient cousins of spotted owls and can interbreed with them but rarely do.
These owls are slightly larger, more aggressive and far less selective about what they eat and the type of forests in which they nest. For thousands of years, barred owls and spotted owls had been kept separate by the wide swath of prairie and desert that lies between the eastern and western forests of North America. Then, people came along, established cities and planted trees, which created ideal habitat for barred owls and provided plenty of opportunities for them to catch the Norway rats that inevitably follow people wherever they live. Around the time of the Second World War, barred owls were just establishing their first foothold in northern B.C. The logged and immature forests throughout the province proved to be ideal habitat for them. By 1969, these owls were nesting in Surrey. Vancouver Island also proved to be popular with barred owls and, in the 1970s, barred owls continued to expand

their range south into the U.S. In 1976, prominent bird biologists in B.C. expressed concerns about the fate of spotted owls when they stated, “It seems doubtful that two species so similar in general food habits and habitat requirements could coexist in the same areas for very long.” They were so right. As the population of barred owls increased significantly in the past few decades, they chased spotted owls from the few remaining patches of old-growth forest. The barred owls have also proved to be similarly disastrous for the smaller western screech owls, which essentially disappeared from local forests within a few short years. Biologists are now faced with a conundrum. While there are efforts to protect the few remaining spotted owls that remain in the wild as well as establish a captive breeding program, it is clear that barred owls must be removed from forests if the spotted owls are to nest successfully and survive. But a controversial proposal to kill barred owls to help spotted owls has met with resistance from the public. Obviously, barred owls can be captured and removed from spotted owl territory and then located elsewhere but this requires more effort and, thus, costs more money. Due to tight budgets, provincial biologists are feeling pressured to take the proverbial“cheap shot,” which would produce the same benefit for spotted owls.

A Zen Garden Zen gardens originated in China and were designed as places for Buddhist monks to pray. They welcomed the devout into outdoor areas where nature had been stripped down to the bare essentials, in a reflection of their spiritual beliefs. Later, the Japanese developed their own outdoor areas in the form of meditation gardens. These influenced today’s Zen style with its minimalist approach and a pared down layout where repetition of design and plant species are favoured over diversity.

middle would be ideal. After all, the secret to Zen garden success is moderation. Zen gardens require little maintenance work and are great for small areas, as they are made up almost entirely of stones, pebbles, and plants in repeating patterns. Now, close you eyes and visualize a wooden bridge over a stream of white pebbles and a bed of creeping thyme. What a soothing place to relax and catch up with yourself!
Be safe and call BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886 or *6886 on your cell. It’s free and easy. If you don’t, you could find yourself on the hook for the costly repair of a damaged natural gas line or other utility.
If you would like to create your very own Zen garden, be sure to choose small trees with white blossoms - white is a highly symbolic color for the Japanese. Opt for magnolias or apple trees, which will also exude unforgettable fragrances. White azaleas are also perfect for this type of garden, along with dwarf pines, ferns, grasses and hostas. Green lawns are not normally part of Zen gardens. Ground cover that creeps around stones is preferred, such as thyme, white violets, or periwinkle. Wood or bamboo furniture is perfect, accompanied by orientalstyle screens or delicate archways. Stone lanterns and Japanese style pots compliment the arrangements. Another must in a Zen garden is a discreet water feature, even just a rock with a small hollow in the

Summer Garden Checklist Straight from the words of Wim (Vander Zalm), renowned author, horticulturalist and owner of the Port Coquitlam and Downtown Art Knapp stores, here is an excerpt from his #1 BC Bestselling book ‘Just Ask Wim!’. Check out June & July’s garden checklist, everything to be pre-summer ready in your garden.
JUNE ✔ This is the month where weeds grow very quickly — keep them in check. ✔ Harvest early lettuce and other greens while they’re young, as there’s lots more on the way. ✔ Harvest radish and early potatoes. ✔ Continue to cut your lawn once a week. ✔ Stake tall and floppy plants, particularly many top-heavy perennials. ✔ Prune spring-flowering shrubs if they have finished blooming. Shear most hedges. ✔ Inspect plants carefully and regularly for insects over the next three months, as this is when they are most prevalent. ✔ Feed all herbs, fruits and vegetables with compost tea. ✔ Remove suckers from tomato plants (see page 38). ✔ Release ladybugs to control aphids on the plants in your yard. ✔ Stake dahlias, being careful not to spear the tubers. Shear spring-blooming heather to keep it full. ✔ Sow vegetable seeds to accommodate progressive planting as crops are harvested. ✔ Replace cool-loving spinach crops with heat-loving beans. ✔ Prune broadleaf evergreens that have finished blooming, keeping in mind that you may want to harvest some of those greens in December for decorating outdoor planters. ✔ Prune spent blossoms from annuals and perennials as required. Turn the ingredients in your compost box. Article provided by Wim Vander Zalm at Art Knapp Plantland www.artknapps.ca
JULY ✔ Check clematis for signs of disease or unusual browning of leaves; if necessary, get a diagnosis from the experts at your local garden centre. ✔ Take particular care to water shallow-rooted plants and street trees through dry spells. ✔ Deadhead bedding plants and repeat-flowering perennials to ensure continuous blooming. ✔ Check all fruit trees for unusual blemishes on the leaves or fruit; if necessary, get a diagnosis from the expert at your local garden centre. ✔ Prune and thin your wisteria. ✔ If required, apply a second application to your lawn of a slow-release high nitrogen fertilizer. ✔ Remove and compost all remaining leaves from any spring-blooming bulbs. ✔ Deadhead rose bushes and prune back to the first set of five leaves. ✔ Feed all fruiting plants, herbs and vegetables with both manure tea and organic liquid fertilizer. ✔ Take your tropical plants outside and give them a thorough hosing down to clean the leaves of collected dust and oils from the winter months. ✔ Water all berry crops and fruiting trees thoroughly at least once a week, increasing the frequency as the summer heats up. ✔ Shear back hanging baskets.

Walkable living in Langley
Willoughby Town Centre welcomes Kensington By Kerry Vital
Willoughby Town Centre is rapidly becoming a vibrant gathering place as Langley’s first truly walkable neighbourhood. Now it’s adding its first residential component with Kensington, a 65-unit apartment building. The community, developed by Qualico in partnership with Chow & Li, will provide shopping, dining and high-quality living, all in one spot. “We tried to make sure that there’s a floorplan for everyone,” says Diane Zarola, Sales and Marketing Manager for Qualico. Willoughby Town Centre will soon be an integral part of Langley. Thus far, confirmed tenants include Shoppers Drug Mart, Sassy Nail Salon, RBC, G&F Financial, Noma Sushi Restaurant, Rendevous Liquor Store and Loblaw’s: Your Independent Grocer, the first in the neighbourhood. There will also be an entire building devoted mainly to medical and dental offices. “We are so thrilled to have all these services,” Zarola says. “It’s going to be a very socially active community.” Qualico asked Facebook users what they’d like to see at Willoughby Town Centre. Suggestions included a yoga studio, coffee shops, a pub, and small clothing boutiques. Kensington itself will include ground-level commercial space, three stories of condominium homes, ranging from 660 to 1,360 square feet and 18 different one- and two-bedroom floorplans. “People are absolutely in love with our finishings,” says Zarola. “These are very well-thought-out plans.” Among the amazing finishes at Kensington are kitchens filled with maple shaker-style cabinetry, granite or quartz countertops complemented by a ceramic tile backsplash and marble mosaic accent tile, and stainless-steel appliances. Zarola also notes that Qualico has included convenient fullwall pantries in some homes. “Wherever we could fit them, they’re there!” she says. The bathrooms are equally elegant, most with a spacious five-foot shower with rain shower head, rectangular undermount sink and floating vanity in the ensuite. The main bathrooms feature their own undermount sink, quartz countertops and deep soaker tub with textured ceramic tile. The nine-foot ceilings in your new

Chic laminate flooring blends seamlessly into the plush carpeting in the bedrooms. You’ll also appreciate the contemporary pot lighting throughout your home, which perfectly illuminates your tasks and gives a cleaner look to the ceiling. Every home also includes a den or tech nook perfect for a home office or as extra space for all of your gadgets. “People just adore this space,” Zarola says. “It’s ... very workable.” You’ll also find a front-load washer and dryer included as well. The community is by far the biggest draw for buyers.

Contain(er) dads’ enthusiasm for gardens iN THe GARDeN Brian Minter Blueberries and raspberries popular options for small container gardens
I
t’s all about fathers this Sunday and not all dads are into ties, tools and sports equipment. They are surprisingly great barbecue chefs and many are becoming fairly avid gardeners too. Today, one challenge for gardeners can be small space living. Container gardening on the patio is more often the order of the day. Fortunately, food gardening has adapted nicely to small spaces with great results. Blueberries, like evergreen ‘Sunshine Blue’, ‘Top Hat’ and the new ‘Summer Breeze’ (a combination of three varieties grown together) are fun, delicious and can be grown successfully in a container. After a big panic run on the new raspberry, called ‘Raspberry Shortcake’, there now seems to be ample supply in most garden stores and just in time for gifting for Father’s Day. It’s a thornless, tasty dwarf raspberry that produces most of the summer and can be planted in a container or in
the ground. Espaliered fruit trees are the new wave of small space trees that can be grown either against a fence or can be the fence. They produce delicious apples, pears and Asian pears. There are also naturally occurring genetic dwarf peaches and nectarines that can be grown on patios and under cover as well. For more immediate enjoyment, container-grown strawberries and tomatoes are very popular today. Everbearing strawberries are usually grown in hanging baskets and can be enjoyed now and all summer. ‘Tumbler’ and ‘Tumbling Tom’ tomatoes are sweet, taste great and fit nicely in pots or baskets. If Dad is into bragging rights, the new grafted tomatoes are very hot this year. They have great vigour, disease resistance and are now grown on an outdoor rootstock called ‘Supernatural’. They can almost double production. Wonderful old heirloom varieties organically grown on these new rootstocks are available as well for that old fashioned flavour. Don’t forget that herb gardens and lettuce collections also make welcome gifts to spice up any summer barbecue. These are all great gift ideas for Dad. Some he can enjoy now and for years to come.
Spectacular living surrounded by mountain vistas.

When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money.
*These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared standard-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric furnace and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of May 2013 ($9.35/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.071 and $0.109 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.

Taking on one Tough Mudder Evan Chan competes in one of sports toughest obstacle courses By Gary McKenna ThE Tri-CiTy NEws
Slithering through an icy tube of mud or running through a maze of live, dangling electrical wires sounds like university fraternity hazing. But for Coquitlam’s Evan Chan, who will participate in the Tough Mudder obstacle course in Whistler next week, it’s a chance to get some exercise and have fun. “It’s one of those events where if you don’t do it you are going to regret it,” he said during a training session
at Ron Zalko Fitness in Vancouver. “It just looks like so much fun.” Apparently “fun” for Chan includes obstacles like the Arctic Enema, where athletes swim through a dumpster full of ice and water. Another event, called the Electric Eel, sees participants crawl on freezing mud while live electrical wires hang over head. Throw in some fire walking, climbing and lots of mud and it is easy to see why Tough Mudder is considered one of the toughest feats in sports. But Chan has been training for months and said the course is more than just a series of foolish dares. see MenTal, page 51

For further information on the Club:
An eight-year-old Coquitlam baseball player will be swinging for charity on Sunday as part of a marathon-hitting contest to raise money for KidSport. Taiyo Boily started the event last year on the anniversary
of the Japanese tsunami, when he raised $5,000 for relief efforts in Japan, said Chris Wilson, the organizer of KidSport Tri-Cities. “This year, Taiyo wants to help kids c l o s e t o h o m e ,” Wilson said. “[He] has chosen KidSport TriCities as the recipient of the funds.” Starting at noon on Sunday (June 16), Boily will begin a three-hour hitting marathon. see BOIlY, page 51

He has participated in two previous Tough Mudders and said the event emphasizes team work, as groups help each other make their way through the various obstacles. “It is really friendly,” he said. “You will have complete strangers helping you out.You won’t be left out in the cold.” To prepare, Chan I-CITYhas been training with TR teammate Ralph Moar, a boxer who is hoping to get into the personal C I ITY TR trainer business.

He said that anyone who has seen the obstacle course and has thought about participating should get a team together and join. “It’s a wonderful experience,” he said. “There’s nothing else like it.” • Tough Mudder will be held in Whistler between June 22 and June 23.

I helped Evan prepare for the last one and he had so much fun he convinced me to get involved for this one.” A lot of pushups and sit-ups have been introduced to Chan’s workout regiment, building strength he will need to climb over walls like the Everest obstacle or hold onto butter-greased monkey bars in the Funky Monkey obstacle.

He will take a brief break to compete in the home run derby, which will be taking place simultaneously at Mackin Park. Last year, Boily hit 300 fair balls, a record the young player is hoping to break this year. The hitting marathon is part of a day of baseball that will be taking place at Mackin Park for Father’s Day, organized by Hits for Kids. Baseballs and gloves will be on hand at 10 a.m. for parents and children who want to place catch at the park. That will be followed by a hitting session between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. and the home run derby, which will take paced between 11:30 and noon. Fo r m o r e i n f o rmation go to www. hits4kids.ca.
