City aims to save bit of heritage Booth farm seen as possible spot for public events By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

These Grade 8 kids from Sir Frederick Banting middle school — Margarita Tellez, Rohan Banga and Victoria Yule — will be among 36 leadership students walking with Guy Black on Friday to celebrate peace and honour the 60th anniversary of the Korean War ceasefire.

The city of Coquitlam is looking to save a 112-year-old farmhouse that once hosted community picnics and other large gatherings. This week, council hinted the city wants to buy the home that used to belong to Maillardville pioneer Ralph Booth. The house, located at 1746 Brunette Ave., and an adjoining lot are currently owned by the estate of Rosaleen Morgan. Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of the city’s Maillardville Commercial and Cultural Revitalization Advisory Committee, said during Monday’s council-incommittee he hopes the

city can acquire the historical asset and turn the area into a half-acre public park that would also serve as a future trailhead to the BC Hydro corridor. Hodge envisions Booth Farm being restored as a place “where the community can come together and have picnics like at the turn of the century,” when Fraser Mills workers and their families congregated there. Under the city’s heritage inventory, which was revised in 2007, Booth Farm is considered one of eight “primary properties” in Maillardville with historical value. The other seven are: • 1120 Brunette Ave. (Ryan House), built in 1908, owned by the city; • 1120 Brunette Ave. (Mackin House), built in 1913, owned by the city; see DESIGN, page 12

A walk for peace and remembrance No arrests yet By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

For more than a decade, Port Moody’s Guy Black has been working to get recognition for Canada’s Korean war vets. Now, it’s his twin sons he’s thinking about. As Black prepares for his biggest, most complex venture in the long road to commemorate the efforts

of Canadian soldiers who fought to bring peace to the Korean peninsula, he’s hoping to leave behind a legacy for generations. To that end, he has engaged his sons’ school, Sir Frederick Banting middle, in a ceremony and walk to help him honour the Canadian Korean war vets and to mark the 60th anniversary of the ceasefire. see 72 KM WALK, page A6

Friday morning at Sir Frederick Banting middle school in Coquitlam, 600 students, dozens of dignitaries and veterans will hold a ceremony, then walk to SFU’s Burnaby Mountain campus for a Gapyong stone ceremony at noon. Guy Black, a Port Moody resident and

longtime advocate for Korean war veterans, will continue the journey with a few friends and supporters to the summit of Mt. Seymour, for a ceremony with members of the North Shore Rescue team at 10 p.m. Black’s walk will continue overnight to Burnaby’s Central Park

for an 11 a.m. ceremony marking the 60th anniversary of the ceasefire and 2013, theYear of the Korean War Veteran. Stones will be collected on the route and delivered to the consul general of the Republic of Korea and will be taken back to Korea for depositing at a war cemetery.

Police are still investigating a late-night shooting last Thursday believed to be related to drugs that left two people injured. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the victims are recovering and have been cooperating with the police investigation.

“We have finished processing the crime scene,” he said. “We are still talking to some of the witnesses but no arrests have been made. That is as much as I can say right now.” The shooting occurred around 11 p.m. in the 3200-block of Ballenas C o u r t i n t h e N ew Horizons subdivision see SHOOTING, page A8

pORT MOODY CENTENNIAL: Two big events on Saturday for Port Moody’s 100th birthday

After a 40-year gap, PoMo gets a parade 80+ participants in PoMo parade By Diane Strandberg THe Tri-CiTY News

Everyone loves a parade, especially Port Moody Coun. Diana Dilworth, and this year, her dream of a string of floats winding its through the city will finally come true. On Saturday beginning at 11 a.m., a parade featuring more than 80 entries, including marching bands, floats and antique fire trucks, will amble along Murray Street from Ioco Road to

Rocky Point Park. According to Dilworth, the parade marking the city’s centennial will be a first in 40 years. “We’re one of the only ones that don’t have a close-down-the-road community parade,” she said. But with parade entrants coming from as far away as Victoria and a dry, warm day predicted for Saturday, Dilworth is hoping to make up for that fourdecade gap. “The centennial gave us a great opportunity to put a parade together for the community,”she said. The grand marshals

will be Al and Nellie Sholund, who are both Freedom of the City recipients, and the local sea cadet band will participate, as will the Vancouver Pipe Band. Port Moody will even have its own float celebrating the city’s art and parks. “It gives everyone an opportunity to dress up and be silly. We are celebrating Port Moody’s past, present and future,” Dilworth said. • For more information including a map, visit www.portmoody. ca or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ CityofPortMoody. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

First Nations, all nations at PM festival Saturday sat. festival starts with a canoe By Diane Strandberg THe Tri-CiTY News

Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park will be transformed into a First Nations arts and cultural festival this Saturday in what might be the region’s largest event to recognize that indigenous people were on the scene long before Colonel Moody and CP Rail arrived. At least that’s the hope of PoMo Coun. Gerry Nuttall and members of the centennial planning committee organizing the first ever All Nations Festival and other events celebrating the city’s 100th anniversary. The free or by-donation event highlighting First Nations art and culture and the achievements of local aboriginal youth was born out of a desire to recognize and honour the indigenous people who are often left out of community celebrations. “[I thought] it would be a good opportunity

WHAT’s HAppENING

All Nations Festival, 1:30 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 22 at Rocky Point Park, Port Moody; featuring First Nations arts, culture and food. Festivities begin at 1:30 p.m. with the arrival of dignitaries in a traditional canoe and continue into the evening, with an artisan market, salmon barbecue, teepees with storytelling for children and a digital display, dancers, poets, a hip hop and a DJ battle, crafting for children and an evening campfire. The All Nations Festival celebrates Port Moody’s centennial and is a partnership between the city and the School District 43 Aboriginal Education department. The event is free to attend but donations are appreciated in support of aboriginal education outreach programs. to bring everyone together to highlight the importance of the indigenous people of this area,” Nuttall explained. Malcolm Key, SD43’s aboriginal community program co-ordinator, was keen on the idea and, with the help of aboriginal leadership students, will be rolling out the All Nations Festival this weekend. “We’re trying to do more programs so that it’s inclusive so our students and the community are

coming together to share aboriginal culture in a more inclusive way,” Key said. Set for this Saturday, June 22 at Rocky Point Park, the cultural showcase will feature a traditional canoe arrival, an artisan market place, a salmon barbecue, dancers, poets and media arts, and crafts and fun for the children. In addition to showcasing aboriginal arts and culture, the event is also a fundraiser for ini-

Key said the district’s aboriginal program also wants to do more community events and is planning projects such as a Harvest Moon Festival around the time of Thanksgiving, a

Winter Solstice dinner, after Christmas, and an Honouring Mother Earth Day, around the time of Earth Day. “Were starting to go in the direction of being more inclusive so were not segregating ab-

original students,” Key explained. As well, by focusing on First Nations arts and culture, the students learn to appreciate their heritage while sharing it with others. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Intracorp has big plans for Burquitlam area By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

The first development to fall under Coquitlam’s new Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS) will generate big bucks for the city. On Monday, Coquitlam council gave first reading to change the official community plan and zoning for 514-554 Foster Ave. and 636-640 Aspen St. in Burquitlam. As part of its plan, Intracorp Developments Ltd. has assembled 18 single-family lots south of Foster Avenue to build a five-storey complex with 99 apartments and 16 three-storey townhouse buildings. In return — if the proposal is approved by council — the city would gain more than $1 million in parkland and community amenity contributions (CAC). CAC were brought in last year in Burquitlam

YMCA PLANNING REC COMPLEX

The president and CEO of theYMCA of Greater Vancouver says the charitable organization is poised to do business in Coquitlam. On Monday, Stephen Butz told council-incommittee the Y had wrapped up its market survey of Coquitlam and is making plans to proceed with the city to build a 50,000 sq. ft. community centre with a pool and recreational and childcare facilities. Although he didn’t state where it would be located,YMCA has said in the past it would consider Burquitlam and Burke Mountain. Kurt Houlden, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks, said the financial details of the partnership will be before city council this fall as part of the 2014 budget deliberations. to pay for the massive growth expected with the Evergreen Line, scheduled to be running by the summer of 2016. Intracorp is required to pay CAC of $3 per square foot as its proposed development is within the so-called “shoulder area” of the Burquitlam station — that is, within a 10-minute walk to the Evergreen Line stop. As a

result, its contribution — the first time the city will be collecting a CAC — would amount to around $600,000, which is anticipated to be used for a future recreational facility in Burquitlam (see sidebar). Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s manager of development services, told council the city’s agreement with Intracorp will include expanding the

adjoining Burquitlam Community Gardens, a city-owned property on Ebert Avenue that has a waiting list for allotments. Intracorp will be dedicating 1,076 sq. ft. of its property as well as buying a surplus portion of unopened lane for the garden expansion, Allueva said. Two years ago, the Vancouver company was one of four developers to come before city council to show its preliminary development plans for Burquitlam. But as the 2002 Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan had yet to be updated, those four bids were put on hold as they were considered “inconsistent” with the outdated visioning document. Council later instructed city staff to proceed with the four applications while the TDS criteria was being ironed out (an update of the Burquitlam Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan is set to start this fall).

Since last July, when council adopted the TDS — a high-level document focusing on density, design, employment and amenities around rapid-transit stations — Allueva said a number of policies have pushed

forward to get TDS zones in Burquitlam and City Centre ready for the rapidtransit line. Among them: • a tightening of parking regulations; • zoning, road, utility and development cost charge updates;

• and guidelines to make main streets wider for pedestrians to get to public transit, and slower for drivers. A public hearing on the Intracorp bid is expected to be held next month. jwarren@tricitynews.com

72 km walk for peace and to honour Korea veterans continued from front page

But this 72 km walk won’t be just any peace march. Beginning on Friday at 10:30 a.m. (after a ceremony involving the whole school and dozens of dignitaries), Black will walk from Banting in Coquitlam, up Burnaby Mountain, across the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge to the summit of Mount Seymour and back to Burnaby’s Central Park Saturday morning. There, he’ll participate in an official commemoration ceremony at 11 a.m. with the consul general of the Republic of Korea. To make the strict time schedule and do the walk in 24 hours, Black has laid out the route in detail, trained for two years, carrying 40 lb. of rocks on his back for many of his excursions up Burnaby Mountain, and has engaged students and several VIPs to be his companions for at least part

It’s a gruelling 24hour journey that Black wants to do to set an example and show what the Canadian war vets went through. Much of the Korean war, he said, was fought in mountains and valleys in all types of weather. “I was thinking about them when I was doing the training, when I was carrying the back pack and carrying the weight. They were carrying 100 lb., I was carrying 40 lb.

His wife and sons will accompany him along the route, and 36 Banting middle school students and teacher Chris Blizzard will join him, too, participating in the Gapyong stone ceremony at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus. The stones will be collected from points along the route and presented to the consul general on Saturday in a ceremony

PoCo’s diversion rate up slightly By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam continues to inch toward its goal of increasing the amount of waste it diverts from the landfill to 70% by 2015. In 2012, PoCo had a diversion rate of 63%, up 0.7% from the 62.3% that was diverted in 2011. The city also saw an increase in the amount of green waste being collected, up 173 tonnes, while a 68tonne decrease in recycling and an 84-tonne decrease in garbage were noted in a staff report. Gord Voncina, the city’s operations manager, told The Tri-City News the 2% decrease in recycling can be at-

tributed to several factors. Residents are being more conscious of the products they buy and industry is responding by reducing the weight of the packaging, he said, also noting that many people are using paper products to wrap their green waste, further adding to the decrease in blue bin collection. “Residents are being more selective about the things they buy and wrap,” he said. “All of those things shifting the market ever so slightly.” Currently, 39% of all waste collected comes from the city’s green bins while another 24% comes from the blue bin, which makes up the 63% diversion rate. But if the city hopes to achieve its 70% diversion goal by 2015, more people are going to have to divert their waste. PoCo hopes that a

stepped-up communications plan will encourage residents to consider waste separation and a 2013 work program will focus on social marketing and increased engagement, said Voncina. More residents of multi-family complexes

Shared policing is a must: PoCo By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam is calling on the provincial government to force municipalities to contribute to integrated regional policing teams, changes the city said could make the system more efficient. PoCo chief administrative officer John Leeburn said the city is not looking for a regional police force but believes collaboration between different police departments and RCMP detachments should be compulsory for specialized services. “There are integrated teams already and we think they are working well,” he said. “We think they would work even better if participation was mandatory.” Currently, some municipalities contract their murder investigations with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) while others, like Port Moody, rely on the Vancouver Police Department’s murder investigation unit. Leeburn said if all municipalities contributed to the same program, it would create efficiencies and economies of scale, making it cheaper. The same goes for other integrated programs such as the Integrated Collision Analysis Reconstruction Service, the Emergency Response Team and the dog squad, he added. “Each detachment can’t have their own dog squad,”he said.“We need to share resources.” Port Coquitlam is not the only municipality lobbying the provincial government for policing changes. Discussions about the initiative came up during a meeting between the three Tri-City mayors and, last month, Coquitlam voted in favour of a report encouraging mandatory municipal participation in some regional policing services. A staff report presented to Coquitlam council stated that while cities are hesitant to endorse a unified Lower Mainland police force, in some instances, regional collaboration could save taxpayers money. Port Coquitlam’s community safety committee voted in favour of the report, which is expected to be presented to city council at an upcoming meeting. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

shooting targeted: cops continued from front page

(located between Pipeline Road and the Coquitlam River, and south of David Avenue). Both victims, a man and a woman, were taken by BC Ambulance to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. They are both known to police and investigators believe the shooting was a targeted incident and possibly drug-related. A suspect vehicle was found in the parking lot of the McDonalds on North Road near Austin Avenue in Coquitlam. Police also said last week that there is no evidence to support a link between this incident and a shooting about a month ago during a backyard barbecue on Delestre Avenue, also in Coquitlam. At the time, the police believed the shooting was targeted but neither the victim nor witnesses co-operated with police. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

PoCo ‘sorry’ for peat moss at campsite In May, after bylaw officials asked a homeless man several times to vacate the area under the Lougheed Highway bridge, staff spread fertilizer in the area. Scoones said there was no sign of the camp at the time the peat moss was spread and staff was attempting to make the area less desirable for camping in case the man returned. Being so close to Our Lady of the Assumption elementary school and the PoCo Trail, he added, it is important that camps

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam bylaw manager Dan Scoones is apologizing after staff in his department dumped peat moss in an area where a homeless man was known to camp. Scoones apologized “to anyone that was distressed by this” and said actions are being taken to ensure a similar incident does not happen again. “It is not something we are going to do again,”he said. “It is not the right strategy and it is not sustainable.”

in the area are broken up quickly. “They get going in a place and they take root,” he said. “The next thing you know, you have more people and it starts to get a bit out of control.” The man who was living in the area has since moved to another location in PoCo, Scoones added. A similar incident in Abbotsford, when a city crew dumped chicken manure at a homeless camp on June 4, drew a great deal of criticism. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Cash well spent? C

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

oquitlam city politicians are undervaluing their jobs if they think they can do without two of eight councillors at the council and committee table from now until the next election 17 months away. It’s nice to know some councillors are prepared to do double duty to avoid spending the roughly $142,000 it would cost to hold a byelection in which only a few thousand people are expected to vote. We appreciate that they don’t want to spend money unwisely but penny pinching on the democratic process, no matter how noble the intent or how low the voter turnout, feeds into the kind of disrespect for the political process that leads to voter apathy. But it’s no wonder there is so much concern about spending the extra money, even though it has been budget, given the latest so-called spending scandal raised by Coun. Lou Sekora over hotel expenses at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference, held recently in downtown Vancouver. Everybody’s running scared of spending if it could be perceived as frivolous after Sekora suggested that his colleagues should have slept in their own beds instead of staying at a posh Vancouver hotel. Regardless of whether this was taxpayers’ money well spent, or how unusual it is for suburban politicians to get their 40 winks at a hotel when their home is a SkyTrain ride and a dead of night bus-transfer away after a long day, the story was widely publicized. And Sekora got his moment in the spotlight. Was the issue overblown? Probably, but the effect of his calculated outrage is worse. Now, the decision by new MLAs Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson to take a leave has everyone concerned that Coquitlam could once again be seen as spending money needlessly. In fact, the two issues are very different. Reimer and Robinson were duly voted in by a rigorous election process, along with many other municipal councillors and mayors. And realistically, they can’t do both jobs. Paying for a byelection, if necessary, is the only option.

What ails Dix and the BC NDP? Where to start? BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA fter 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposition that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future. The party’s provincial council will meet Friday to set the terms of reference for a review of the party’s dismal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeated that his performance won’t be spared and ticked off some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign. Dix mentioned the alleged lack of“negative”ads, the local campaigns (read: candidates), the decreasing reliability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the proposed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline. Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipeline, these are great sound bites for

the short attention spans of the modern media. But they don’t explain much. This all-powerful NDP provincial council is a case in point. A glimpse into its inner workings was provided by a summary of an NDP policy development workshop called“Imagine Our Future”that was leaked by the BC Liberals in the final days of the campaign. The workshop took place in November 2010, coincidentally at the same provincial council meeting where the revolt against former leader Carole James tumbled into the open. While 13 caucus members were knifing their leader for reasons they still can’t or won’t articulate in public — a glaring problem in itself — the back-room policy brainstorm revealed a deeper malaise. Among the“dream tree”notions put forward in the workshop was“free”post-secondary tuition and public transit, along with raising wages and lowering fees for daycare. This isn’t a dream tree, it’s a money tree. Remember, this is the NDP’s ruling body, not a high school“social justice”class or an Occupy Vancouver squat.

Showing a glimmer of adult supervision, the workshop table on“equitable tax policy”even identified the problem. Its first recommendation:“Increase our economic and financial literacy to gain credibility.” The“public ownership”table really got radical. Scrap public-private partnerships, the basis of most government construction today. “Nationalize”independent power projects, in the Venezuelan style of state seizure of private assets. And perhaps most incredibly, tear up the trade agreement between Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. that harmonizes transport truck regulations and so forth. In the real world, the four western premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called“New West Partnership”will continue to dismantle archaic inter-provincial barriers. Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a“labour mobility” agreement. This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing identical

bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat. This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to“create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a“job protection commissioner”for forestry. Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union. Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green”jobs respectively.

Parked in a handicapped stall? shame

The Editor, Today, while attending the Royal Bank at Newport Village in Port Moody, I parked adjacent to the handicapped stall immediately in front of the bank. Seated in a vehicle in that stall with windows open and chatting on his cellphone was a young man who looked between 18 and 25 years of age. As there was no handicapped sticker visible in his vehicle, I inquired whether he was aware of the vehicle being in a handicapped stall. The occupant became quite belligerent about how it was none of my business and it was a bylaw issue and basically his attitude was one of entitlement and total ignorance of the purpose of the space. As I had passed another young man in the bank who was of similar age and dress, I reentered the bank and inquired of the second man whether it was his vehicle parked in the handicapped space. From there, the discussion became quite heated as he told me that I could call bylaw enforcement but that he was not going to move his car and didn’t care because there was no available parking in front of the bank. Of interest is that not one person in the bank spoke up and requested the young man relocate his vehicle despite the fact he openly admitted he was breaking the law. The management appeared more concerned about the “scene” in the bank than ensuring that handicapped clients who may require the space have access. It was approximately 10 minutes to closing and there were almost no other clients visible in the bank except for employees, myself and the young man. Until there are consequences to these young men for flagrantly abusing the parking privilege (not a right), they will continue their reprehensible behaviour. Shame on both of them. W. Martin, Port Moody

Coq. byelection is a necessary cost The Editor, Two Coquitlam councillors are heading to Victoria as a result of the recent provincial election. This certainly speaks to the quality of talent that makes up our elected city officials. A full council complement is certainly needed to carry on city business. Vigorous, informed debate representing various

points of view is a necessity. Leaving two council seats vacant without conducting a byelection would impair the work of the council. City hall informs me that the city has sizeable election reserve funding. A byelection would use money already designated and incur no additional expense to Coquitlam taxpayers.

I hope council will agree to hold a byelection so that those interested in running can come forward and so residents will have a full council to conduct city affairs.The provisions for such a byelection are part of the provincial act governing municipal government, and there’s so sense in side-stepping them at this time.

• 1319 Brunette Ave. (Hamlin House), built in 1910, owned by Stephen Babrauskus; • 1313 Cartier Ave., built in 1910, owned by Yueh Lee; • 830 Laval Sq. (Notre Dame de Lourdes Church), built in 1938, owned by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Vancouver; • 310 Marathon Crt. (Brehaut House), built in 1898 or 1909, owned by Robert Nelson, and Michael and Sandra Baker; • and 609 Rochester Ave., built in 1920, owned by Ann Jones. Another six properties are classed as “secondary” — that is, meeting most criteria for architectural, historical and contextual merit — while a further 21 Maillardville buildings fall under the “supporting”list. Carl Johannsen, Coquitlam’s manager of community planning, said staff are using the inventory as a basis for a new heritage conservation and commemoration policy. Under the draft Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan (MNP), which was presented at Monday’s meeting, the city proposes to place heritage revitalization agreements on the eight properties, thus avoiding demolition. Johannsen said the updated MNP will serve as a guide for “a new future for Coquitlam’s oldest community,” a traditionally FrenchCanadian enclave. Besides heritage preservation, it also calls for adding 60% more residents to Maillardville over the next 20 years, revitalizing the “heart” at Lougheed Highway and Brunette Avenue, and adding public amenities and green spaces. As well, the draft MNP calls for “heritage-inspired” designs. Johannsen said Maillardville’s architecture, especially in the commercial core, is a mix of European and Quebecois, which is not reflective of the pioneers’ construction that had simple lines with gable roofs on wood-framed homes. The draft MNP calls for a hybrid design approach that allows for both styles, Johannsen said. • An open house on the draft Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan will be held on Thursday, June 27 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Alderson elementary school (825 Gauthier St., Coquitlam).

formation, call the city’s planning department at 604-927-3430 or email planninganddevelopment@coquitlam.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

New jobs on council By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Last month’s election of two Coquitlam councillors as MLAs will mean new faces on many city committees and task groups. But the appointments previously held by councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson won’t be the only roster change. Coun. Lou Sekora quit last week as chair of the Maillardville Commercial and Cultural Revitalization Advisory Committee. The former committee vice-chair, Coun. Craig Hodge, will now take over the top job, with Coun. Brent Asmundson as vice-chair. Hodge has also been named as alternate to Coun. Mae Reid on the Metro Vancouver board of directors and a member of the regional environment and parks committee — two of Robinson’s posts. Her vice-chair roles on the Celebrate Coquitlam Advisory Panel, Coquitlam River Aggregate Committee and Universal AccessAbility Advisory Committee will be taken over by Sekora, Reid and Coun. Neal Nicholson, respectively. Robinson was also the council rep on the Coquitlam R i v e r Wa t e r s h e d Roundtable and TriCities Homelessness and Housing Task Group; those posts will now be filled by Coun. Terry O’Neill and Nicholson. As for Reimer’s committees, the vicec h a i r ro l e o n t h e Multiculturalism Advisory Committee

will be held by Sekora; and council rep spots for the Joint Family Court Youth Justice and the TriCities Early Childhood Development committees will be taken over by Reid and Nicholson. Reimer and Robinson are currently on leaves of absences from council. Meanwhile, the names for a new task force looking at public art options

for the Evergreen Line stations was released this week. Headed up by O’Neill with Nicholson as vice-chair, the task force will be made up of Wendy Anderson, Ann Carlsen, Maria Centola, Matt Djonlic, Gabriela Diaconu, Tara King and Anna Tremere. Its first meeting will be held next month.

Backyard bear pair

You’ve Made The VisitCut! Magicuts

2 1 FOR

Tri-City residents are encouraged to lock up their garbage, or even freeze it, as hungry bears look for food to bulk up for fall hibernation. On Monday, this well-fed bear family was spotted grazing in the backyard of a home on Harbour Drive in Coquitlam. Art Zink, who has lived in the area for 66 years, said he believes the bears are getting into people’s garbage. But he now freezes his own food waste before placing it on the street for pick-up after bears tore up a cabinet containing his garbage cans last year.

TRI-CITY LIFE Mixing music at Minnekhada CONTACT send notices & releases to: email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-472-3030 • fax: 604-944-0703

Must DJ program teaches students the importance of experimentation By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Minnekhada middle school students are finding out there are other ways to make music than playing a musical instrument. While many children start out playing the guitar or piano, some are turned off by formal music lessons. But at Minnekhada, the students in David Erickson’s Must DJ club are learning to remix music to create new songs and are experiencing the joy of making music in nontraditional ways. The pilot program has been going since September, thanks to funding for equipment from the school Parent Advisory Council, and the 16 Grade 6, 7 and 8 students are pretty talented at matching up songs to make a new sound. “It’s not just a bunch of button pushing,” explained Erickson, who recently earned his PhD in music education. The long-time music teacher said the students are experimenting with music, learning about how music is made, the importance of beat and structure and connecting with music in new ways. And since the school

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Students in the Must DJ club at Minnekhada middle school enjoy experimenting and listening to music they create by mixing music on special equipment in teacher David Erickson’s music class. Erickson, who has a PhD in music education, said the program teaches students how to make music in non-traditional ways. approved the purchase of a turntable, mixer, and the Serato DJ computer program, Erickson has been learning along with his students. “It’s cool,” said Mariah Symchych, one of the students in the Must DJ club, “We can take a song and make it sound cooler,” she added. “It’s awesome how you can create different

effects,” said Christine Clarin, another student in the club. Nicholas Ram, who has his own DJ equipment at home, says he enjoys creating new music from songs that he likes and with his friends in the Delirious DJ club provided a demonstration. The students used the equipment, including a lap

top and film screen in which the controls and outputs were portrayed, and mixed two songs together to create a new sound. They chose Love Somebody by Maroon 5 and Right on Time by Skrillex to make a new piece of music that had a great sound and driving beat. Recently, the students showed off their DJing

skills at a school dance that also raised funds for the Share food bank. “It took me a while to accept this as a legitimate form of music making,” Erickson said. But, after reading an article by Karen Snell in a book published by the Canadian Music Educators Association, to which he also contributed, Erickson wanted to

see how students could use DJing to explore different pathways to music. His principal supports the idea and James Gill, with the school district, is making a video of the Must DJ club to show other middle schools. Minnekhada principal Darren Macmillan said it’s a school’s job to continually update and meet

the students where their interests are. “Whether a student is creating a project on a computer or using paper and pen, or whether they create music from an instrument or a turntable the most important thing is they are owning their learning and excited about sharing,” Macmillan said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Science facts & fun for everyone A GOOD READ Saied Forouzi

ou may have overlooked the science section at your local library but you can find lots of intriguing resources in the 500s — that’s the number for books on science. Some of my favourites are: • They Got It Wrong: Science by Graeme Donald: This book exposes the theories that were once widely regarded as facts but have since been proven to be science fiction. It tells the fascinating story behind 50 erroneous scientific theories and gives an incredible perspective on how the way we view the workings of the world has evolved throughout history. • Mad Science, edited by Randy Alfred: Each day of the year has a rich scientific and technological heritage just waiting to be uncovered. This book collects the most intriguing anecdotes for every day in a package that will appeal to hard-

core techies and curious lay people alike. • A Little History of Science by William F. Bynum: With delightful illustrations and a warm, accessible style, this is a volume for young and old to treasure together. It takes readers to the stars through the telescope, as the sun replaces the Earth at the centre of our universe. It delves beneath the surface of the planet, charts the evolution of chemistry’s periodic table, introduces the physics that explain electricity, gravity and the structure of atoms. It recounts the scientific quest that revealed the DNA mol-

ecule and opened unimagined new vistas for exploration. • Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku: Space elevators. Internetenabled contact lenses. Cars that fly by floating on magnetic fields. This is the stuff of science fiction — it’s also daily life in 2100. The author considers how these predicted inventions might affect the world economy, addressing the key questions: Who will have jobs? Which nations will prosper? He forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last century’s leaps and bounds seem insignificant. • Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us by Joe Palca and Flora Lichtman: A look at why some things — and some people — drive us crazy. It happens everywhere: offices, schools, even your own backyard. Seemingly anything can trigger it: cellphones, sirens, bad music, constant distractions, your boss or even your spouse. We all know certain things get

under our skin. Can science explain why? How often can you say you’re happily reading a really annoying book! • Mathematics Minus Fear by Lawrence Potter: How can math help you bet on horses or win in Vegas? What’s the foolproof way to solve Sudoku? How can probability teach you to calculate your chances of survival in Russian roulette? Find out in this irreverent and entertaining guide to mathematics. • The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean: You will learn that Marie Curie used to provoke jealousy in her colleagues’ wives when she’d invite them into closets to see her glowin-the-dark experiments. Did you know Lewis and Clark swallowed mercury capsules as they crossed the U.S.A. and their campsites are still detectable by the poison in the ground? Why did Gandhi hate iodine? Topics span the Big Bang to the end of time. • The Joy of Chemistry by Cathy Cobb: This

book challenges the perception of chemistry as too difficult to bother with and too clinical to be any fun. From fireworks to the functioning of smoke detectors and computers, and the fundamentals of digestion (as when good pizza goes bad ), the authors illustrate the concepts of chemistry in terms of everyday experience, using familiar materials. As well, Popular Science and American Scientific are two great magazines with lots of fascinating up-to-date information on what’s going on in a wide variety of scientific fields. Don’t forget to check out your library’s collection of documentary DVDs such as the Planet Earth series produced by BBC. So remember the magic number: 500s. Those are the shelves to explore on your next library visit, or ask for help at the Information desk.

LINDBJERG ACADEMY

VANCOUVER NAVAL VETERANS BAND

Move over Glee! The Lindbjerg Academy Show Choir is coming to Daisy Day and performing their Spring show. Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts is dedicated to teaching the art of musical theatre, dance, singing and acting in a fun, supportive environment.

Bringing a dose of pomp and pageantry to Daisy Day is an appearance of the Vancouver Naval Veterans Band. It is unique in Canada because the founding members served in either the Royal Canadian Navy or Canada’s Merchant Marine during World War Two. To preserve their proud heritage, they began recruiting younger naval veterans plus civilian musicians. These additions have contributed to the unit’s four-part harmony presented by threevalve trumpets, baritone and bass horns, glockenspiels and a comprehensive drum corps.

2:00 -2:45 pm

1:15 – 1:30 pm

1:00 – 1:15 PM

Three beautiful performances by the Chinese Traditional Dancers. The first is a classical Chinese dance called “A Moonlit Night on the Spring River. The second is called “Kung Fu”. The last performance is based on the famous Italian love song “The Spanish Girls”.
