With much of the preconstruction nearly complete, Farrell said building of the stations and guideway will get underway in July.

Drivers heading through Port Moody can expect to see Evergreen Line construction ramping up this summer and ratcheting up in the fall, with a weekend-long closure of the Ioco Road/ Barnet Highway intersection.

THE TUNNEL

Commuters using the Barnet Highway at PoMo’s west end are well aware that work on the tunnel’s north portal started early this year.

Crews shifted lanes and access points near Seaview and East Hill in

order to build the transition tunnel underneath the Barnet. That work is expected to wrap up over the next few months, with northbound lanes set to move back to their original position in August.

The southbound lanes should be back to their regular layout sometime in September or October.

Come December, the massive tunnel boring machine will be delivered to the site for assembly. see TUNNEL, page 15

Uncertainty after teacher talks suspended

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Parents of children living with autism, including Nancy Walton, left, and Jodie Wickens, are asking School District 43 to collaborate with them on developing Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) training for special education assistants working with autistic children. The two were among more than a dozen parents who turned out to a board of education meeting Tuesday to discuss the issue.

DIANE STRANDBERG THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Parents want more opportunities, support for children with autism special education assistants isn’t as effective as specific ABA training, also called behavioural interventions, and she said children are falling behind.

“We are devastated by the negative impact the lack of ABA programs is having in our district,”she added.

The group said SD43 could develop an ABA Support Worker classification similar to one developed in Surrey, where by SEAs are required to have 1,000 hours of supervised home or specialized college training with an ABA Behaviour Consultant.

Applied Behaviour Analysis is the process of breaking tasks into small teachable parts and then reinforcing the learning, and according to research provided by the group, is

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

More than a dozen parents wearing matching t-shirts and bearing a petition with hundreds of names called on School District 43 to work with them to improve education opportunities for their children with autism.

Led by parent Jodie Wickens, the group wants an Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) support worker program modelled after one in Surrey to provide better support for their children.

“We come to you this evening finding we are in crisis,”said Wickens.

She said parents find the current system of generalized training for

better than more generalized programming for improving students’ reading, academics, social communication and adaptive living skills.

Wickens said parents get funding from the province for ABA support for their children when they are young and want similar support once their children enter public school.

“Consistency is key,”Wickens said, adding later that her son is young and she is acting as his “voice” to ensure he gets the best education possible when he enters school.

“We compel the board to listen to our plea this evening,”she said.

According to the group, the program could be developed in collaboration with parents and wouldn’t cost the district any additional funds be-

cause SEAs pay for their own training.

In Surrey, which began developing the program in 2001 and revamped it in 2006, some 120 ABA trained support workers are in place and parents can request them. “Every year we add 20 more,” said Nancy Walton, a Surrey parent and teacher who is helping the group with their efforts to get ABA in School District 43.

Wickens acknowledged it will take a while to get such a program up and running in SD43, where 365 students have an autism designation, but said parents are desperate to get it started.

“The conversation needs to be started and that will take a little bit of time,”she said.

What’s in a name? — plenty, say trustees Trustee Keith Watkins, who proposed the motion to change the name to Eagle Mountain middle, argued that trustees previously chose Twin Lakes withWATKINS out knowing that Eagle Mountain was the preferred choice in a survey of 120 students.

Watkins pointed out that it was his vote that allowed the Twin Lakes name to survive what would have been a tie vote at the last

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A new middle school under construction in Anmore will now be called Eagle Mountain, not Twin Lakes as originally proposed.

Trustees torpedoed the name Twin Lakes, which was chosen from 40 submissions and was supposed to signify the school’s proximity to Buntzen and Sasamat lakes, because of complaints from the community.

Trustees then chose Eagle Mountain because it was more popular among students.

Cel 604 240 1927 604-941-3838

board meeting and he wanted to bring back the issue.

According to the survey, 100 students favoured Eagle Mountain, while only 10 preferred Twin Lakes middle and 10 chose the name Anmore middle.

However, there is still likely to be some disgruntlement in the new name for the $33-million, 500-student school slated for occupancy in the fall of 2014.

Before the vote, the Mayor of Anmore made a presentation to trustees, asking the name be changed to Anmore middle.

“Naming the school Anmore

middle school will clear up any confusion about where this school is located and will establish a strong connection for Anmore residents that this school is part of their community,” Heather Anderson said.

Anderson added that the name Anmore middle would foster a sense of pride in the village, which already has an elementary school named Anmore.

“There really isn’t another name to connect this school to the Village of Anmore, other than the name Anmore middle school,” she said.

The government’s decision to suspend “productive” contract talks and begin a new round of bargaining with teachers has created uncertainty, said the new president of the Coquitlam Teachers Association.

Charley King, who takes over from Teresa Grandinetti on July 1, said the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public Schools’ Employer Association were making progress, but talks were suspended this week with the announcement that a new negotiator had been appointed to oversee a new bargaining mandate.

“The government claims to want stability and peace in education but acts to disrupt a productive round of bargaining and that doesn’t makes sense,” King said. “It would be more productive to put resources at the table that we’re making progress at.”

According to a press release, the province’s new education minister, Peter Fassbender, said he asked the BCTF and BCPSEA to conclude matters under negotiation and to use the time scheduled this week to “work out a process or road map forward.”

Fassbender also promised to build on accomplishments already made during bargaining and appointed veteran negotiator Peter Cameron to oversee talks.

“We want to keep moving forward and that means we need the partners to focus on building a joint roadmap before bargaining can resume under a new mandate that is consistent with our election commitment,” Fassbender wrote in a statement.

However, it’s not certain what the new process will bring, King said, especially if no money is put on the table.

Echoing BCTF president Jim Iker, King said he’s not against a long-term agreement, and in fact noted that a five-year deal was reached in 2006. But the key is what the government is willing to offer and and statements made during the election aren’t any guarantee as to what will be discussed during official negotiations.

“One of the problems is that paper was a very political document, and prior to the election politicians will say all kinds of things,”King said.

Port Moody urges Metro to protect Belcarra cottages Port Moody will call on Metro Vancouver to work with residents of vintage summer cottages in Belcarra Regional Park to keep them as rental homes.

Representatives of the Belcarra South Preservation Society pleaded their case at a council meeting earlier this month after learning Metro planned to evict the residents and demolish the 1940s-era cabins because of potential liability issues.

Metro said the cabins’ water, sewer and plumbing systems need up-

grading and don’t m e e t today’s building code s t a n dards.

Dilworth But as Andrea Ledingham told council on June 11, the longtime renters have already invested in an upgraded water system that is checked weekly, upgraded electrical systems and more. The residents would take on more improvements, she added, if there were assurances from Metro that

they could stay on in the cottages.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Coun. Diana Dilworth said she was moved by the presentation and suggested the city urge Metro Vancouver to work with the residents in finding solutions that would allow them to stay.

ADOPT A TRAIL

A plan to implement a volunteer-based “adopt a trail” program was put on hold until the city’s union could be consulted.

Staff recommended council implement an Adopt a Trail/Street/Park

program after investigating a request from the Barnet Lions Club in February for such a program.

“An Adopt a Trail/ Street/Park program would meet the requirements of the city’s Volunteers in Parks Policy by providing a higher level of service than the city currently provides without loss of staff jobs,” said the report.

The report also noted the program would cost about $500 in staff time to set up. spayne@tricitynews.com

Safety Tips

Few things can match the fun and enjoyment of a barbecue with family and friends. Practice sensible, safe barbecuing and your summer get-together will be a sizzling success!

Do… 9 9 9 9 9

Remember to always turn the gas valve on first Keep gas hoses away from hot surfaces and hot grease Keep children away from the gas valve and the grill Keep loose clothing away from the hot barbecue Turn the gas valve off first when you are finished to allow the gas in the hose to burn off, and then turn off the burner controls so no gas remains trapped in the hose 9 Allow your barbecue to cool completely before covering it 9 Clean the burners and grill regularly to minimize the risk of a serious grease fire

Don’t…

9 9 9 9

Leave the barbecue unattended when in use Allow grease to build up Put water on a grease fire - it will only cause the flames to flare Barbecue in an enclosed space, such as a garage. (For ventilation and safety reasons, move your barbecue into the open at least three metres away from windows and doors.)

9 Place your barbecue near wooden fences or walls, beneath a combustible roof overhang or even under a tree with low branches. (Be extra careful about the area behind the barbecue where hot gases escape and could create a fire hazard.)

9 Place barbecue close to vinyl siding as the heat can melt vinyl with little or no warning

When sirens ring, get out of the way The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP are giving drivers a reminder on what to do when an emergency vehicle has its lights and sirens on after one motorist wouldn’t get out of the way of a fire truck.

Fire fighters were on their way to an emergency call for a person having a heart attack when they came up behind a grey Dodge pickup truck. Instead of pulling over, however, the pick-up refused to let the fire truck pass, even accelerating to match the speed of the fire truck so he could stay ahead of it.

Cpl. Jamie Chung said they’ve heard many driv-

ers aren’t pulling over and stopping for fire trucks, “a recipe for disaster.”

“It’s very distracting to emergency vehicle drivers when you stay ahead of them by speeding,” Chung said. “They have to keep an eye on you at the same time driving around vehicles that have pulled over. If you get into a collision with the emergency vehicle, you are stopping the crew from helping those in need of emergency assistance, and putting their lives at risk.”

Drivers are reminded that, under the Motor Vehicle Act, they must yield the right of way and immediately drive to a position parallel

to and as close as possible to the nearest edge of the roadway, clear of an intersection, and stop in that position until the emergency vehicle has passed.

Failing to do so may result in a $109 ticket.

Mother and daughter team up for graduation The Tri-CiTy News

Mother and daughter duo Cherie and Braidey Sturgeon share a lot together but they never dreamed they would graduate from high school together.

But last Thursday, that’s exactly what they did, wearing matching caps and gowns. They were among 30 graduates accepting their Dogwood diploma at Inlet Theatre in Port Moody out of this year’s crop of 237 graduates from School District 43’s continuing education department.

“It’s amazing. It’s so cool,” said Braidey, 19, who finished up her Biology 12 course this winter at the same time her mom was completing Family Studies 12.

The two often worked side-by-side at the kitchen table. “It’s a fun experience telling your mom to do her homework,”joked Braidey.

Cherie admitted it was a little tough sometimes to complete the course requirements for the learn-at-your-own pace family studies course.

“Sometimes I needed a little push,” she acknowledged. But the mother and daughter team also gave a lot of credit to staff at Coquitlam Learning Opportunity Centre for providing them with advice and flexible programming to meet their education needs.

Cherie just needed the final course to finish graduating, something she put off for several years, while daughter Braidey didn’t like the structure and the schedule of the high schools she attended, preferring to take night school courses.

“What I liked about continuing education is they greeted me like I’m an adult who just needs to do high school courses,” Braidey explained, adding that she

didn’t feel she fit into regular high school. “It isn’t for everybody,” she acknowledged.

School has always been important to the family and Cherie admits that graduation was something she always intended to do. Now she’s considering working towards a degree in psychology. “Now this is something for me,” she said of more education and a career in psychology. “Something I will enjoy doing for the next 25 years.”

Braidey plans to travel and then consider other education possibilities.

The family was joined by friends and grandmother Irene Bonenfant, who teared up when she said how proud she was of her daughter and granddaughter. The family planned to celebrate with champagne or possibly dinner out after receiving their official papers.

Report: Housing starts edge up about a 7%increase in Fraser Valley home starts next year.

Metro Vancouver poised for 2.7% increase in home building in 2014

business tax

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

A small increase in new home construction is being forecast for 2014 in Metro Vancouver.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. projects 18,200 homes will be started in the region this year and 18,700 in 2014, an increase next year of 2.7%.

Senior CMHC analyst Lance Jakubec said new construction will essentially hold steady

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. projects a 2.7% increase in housing starts in 2014 across the Metro Vancouver region. this year, but rental apartment construction will take a larger share of multi-family housing starts.

Existing home sales

in Metro Vancouver are projected to be roughly the same this year as in 2012, and then grow about 10% in 2014.

The CMHC projects

A small business lobby group says the gap between business and residential property tax rates charged by B.C. municipalities is narrowing, but remains too wide.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released a report card showing small businesses paid on average 2.7 times as much in tax as residential taxpayers for property of the same value in 2012, down slightly from 2.78 in 2011.

It’s the fourth straight year that gap has narrowed.

“We still have a long way to go,” said CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen, who praised cities for reining in business tax rates.

“There is a clear trend emerging.”

Th e C F I B r e p o r t lists North Saanich, Coquitlam, Revelstoke, Va n c o u v e r and Metchosin as having the highest business-residential tax rate ratio, ranging from 5.6 to 4.35 times residential rates.

The gap actually increased significantly in Terrace, Burnaby, West Vancouver and Kitimat. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Itemized expenses

■ WHAT WE THINK:

I

t’s time politicians’ expense accounts were daylighted for all to see. That doesn’t mean we think taxpayers’ money isn’t well spent on necessary travel and conferences, it’s just one more form of accounting that is long overdue.

Standard operating procedure at all levels of government from school board to the senate should be an online listing of where the money goes so that people can make comparisons and ask questions.

For example, is it realistic that school trustees should get about $5,000 a year for expenses while the Coquitlam mayor spends about $16,000 according to recent financial statements and some MLAs, notably NDP MLA for Skeena Robin Austin, spent more than $70,000 in 2012?

Exactly what is the rationale and where does this money go? It’s not that we see a scandal brewing, but a more transparent accounting of expenses is simply a reasonable expectation and a check on frivolous spending.

t took me almost 40 years, but I finally attended a graduation ceremony at Simon Fraser University.

My daughter graduated from SFU this year and received her degree at a convocation ceremony on Thursday. It took place 39 years, almost to the day, after I graduated from the same university. I didn’t attend the ceremony back in 1974, mainly because I was working that day, but also partially due to the fact that I was just tired of school, after 15 straight years of education.

Thursday’s graduation ceremony was colourful and memorable. Hundreds of gradu-

IN QUOTES

“ It is pretty safe to say that a post-secondary education is a big boost for B.C. While not all grads will stay in B.C., many will and all of them have strong connections here.”

Frank Bucholtz ates received diplomas, an honourary degree was conferred on a Canadian senator with a solid record of achievement who actually deserves the title of“honourable,”and a Langley grad (and former Black Press newspaper carrier) spoke eloquently on behalf of all grads.

The senator in question is Kelvin Ogilvie, who is the former president of Acadia University and has a record of incredible achievement in the scientific world.

A member of the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame, he developed the Gene Machine — an automated process for manufacturing DNA. He also invented Ganciclovir, a drug used worldwide to fight infections that occur in weakened immune systems. He spoke about his humble upbringing in Nova Scotia, and how education made a world of difference to him, from a young age. He was inspiring, and proves that not all Stephen Harper’s appointments to the Senate have been disastrous.

The Langley grad who spoke so eloquently is Bonnie Tulloch, who interestingly enough was one of a small number of grads with a world literature major. Because of this (my daughter also graduated with this major), we had a chance to meet her and her family at a lunch afterwards.

She was featured in the pages of The Langley Times last summer, when she and other lifeguards at Walnut Grove Pool organized a fundraiser called Waves of Compassion for the Canadian Red Cross

emergency response programs.

After talking with her and her family, it is clear that she is one of those people who will make the world a better place as a result of her education. As a far-from-objective parent, I believe my daughter will do the same things.

Given all the knowledge and skills that grads gained at SFU and in their earlier education, it is pretty safe to say that a post-secondary education is a big boost for B.C. While not all grads will stay in B.C., many will and all of them have strong connections here.

As the world becomes more of a global village each year, they will spread far and wide and share their knowledge, experience and skills with others in many faraway places.

As taxpayers, we have made a great investment in our universities. Students also make great personal investments and sacrifices to attend university. I think there will be a good return on those investments for them, and society at large.

FACE TO FACE: Where should the focus be at Canada Day celebrations?

It’s important to recognize the past C

oming out of high school, I didn’t know too much about Canadian history.

I remember in Grade 12, my brother asked me when the War of 1812 was and I thought it was a trick question.

I know that probably says more about me than it does about the B.C. high school curriculum: Maybe the teachers tried to teach that stuff to me. I don’t know for sure.

But I’m not alone.

Poll after poll has illustrated our collective ineptness with regard to history.

In 2012, a Leger Marking poll found that 37% of Canadians think that Canada won the War of 1812 — which they did — 9% think the U.S. won, 15% think it was a tie and 39% know too little about it to venture a guess.

And it’s not just the War of 1812. A Canada Day poll, from 2003, is even more damning: Only 53% of us knew what D-Day was while only 40% could name two peacekeeping missions Canada was involved in since 1990. Yes, the survey is dated, but I would suspect things have gotten even worse.

For that reason I commend the Harper government for their ef-

forts in teaching us.

Since 2011, the Tories have spent millions of dollars on War of 1812 commemoration events and memorabilia including things such new plaques, monuments, battle re-enactments, television commercials and websites.

They’ve also made efforts to circulate historic artifacts — currently housed at the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa — to museums across the country so that Canadians from coast to coast to coast can access this stuff.

I know my colleague opposite is snippy about the Tories promoting our past armed conflicts, but military achievements are a significant part of our history. Battles such as the War of 1812, the Ypres, Vimy Ridge and others signify where we come from as a nation.

To me, Canada Day isn’t just about waving the flag and fireworks. It’s about sharing and celebrating our common history, stories, heroes and national symbols. We become a stronger nation when we’re able to share.

This is a great country. In my opinion it’s the greatest in the world. But let’s all make an effort to learn why it’s so great.

Happy Canada Day everyone.

Tories want to re-write history T

his Canada Day weekend, Canadians will enjoy that which binds us together. We’ll listen to First Nations drummers, French Canadian singers and down east squid jigger ditties and we’ll end up washed with the subtle warmth of re-assuring Canadianism.

But quiet patriotism isn’t good enough for Conservatives.They want cheerleader patriotism, with parades, fly bys and troops — celebrations based on the glory of Canadian war efforts.

They want to rewrite Canadian history into Canadian military history.

Conservatives have spent $28 million to focus us on the War of 1812, to finance initiatives from battle reenactments to glitzy ad campaigns.

At the same time, they cut the budget of the National Library and Archives — historians who maintain an accurate record of Canadian history.

A new, Conservative “Citizenship Guide”presents a revisionist view of Canadian history. It doesn’t mention unions, feminism, medicare, environmental issues, or unemployment, but it does mention war 55 times.

Conservatives want Canadians to see Canada as a nation born from war.

So does my hawkish colleague over there, even though he says it’s

just a desire that we know more about Canadian history.

But it’s not the LaVerendrye, Winnipeg Strike, women’s suffrage kind of history they’re pushing — they just want to edify wars and battles.

Conservatives think that by celebrating past military glory we’ll achieve a nationalistic cohesion they perceive to be missing in Canada.

But they’re dead wrong. Canadian cohesion is already there and it doesn’t originate from rabid reverence for military glory. In fact, it’s just the opposite.

Canada was formed without bloodshed. We separated from England amicably. We didn’t massacre our aboriginal people or vanquish French Canadians. We don’t start wars and we’ve avoided some others. Canada has steadfastly supported international organizations and we pioneered international peacekeeping.

We’re a peaceful bunch.

That’s what Canadians will be celebrating on Canada Day and that’s what Canadian history should reflect.

History is a subjective interpretation of complex events. Historians should write history, not governments. Historians ask questions about history, governments push answers.

Have a peaceful Canada Day.

TRI-CITY leTTeRs limited transit makes peak pricing an issue The Editor, Trust TransLink to throw the proverbial cart under the horses with its planned pricing system.

Peak and off-peak pricing is not a bad idea at all, as long as car drivers and transit users have alternatives. Roads and transit are congested at peak hours simply because the majority of working people do not and cannot have flexible working hours.

Talking about emu-

lating Washington transit pricing is ridiculous.

Washington has five heavy duty subway lines covering most of the city, with more lines to come.

The city also has two commuter train lines.

Meanwhile in Metro Vancouver, there is no rapid transit system over two-thirds of the region and only one commuter train line so most car drivers cannot easily switch to rapid transit.

Of all the second-tier

cities in the G8 countries, Vancouver must be the only one with such a poor rapid transit coverage.

Why is Metro Vancouver so far behind?

Why doesn’t our provincial government care about transit? Have we ever had a transportation minister that was actually familiar about transit? Do TransLink board members use transit regularly?

Cities should share more The Editor, Re. “Shared policing is a must” (The Tri-City News, June 19).

It doesn’t go far enough. A rough comparison in just one service between the Greater Toronto area and the Greater Vancouver area illustrates the enormous burden taxpayers must bear without the region-

alization of services.

Port Coquitlam’s chief administrative officer John LeeBurn is correct in stating that we need to share resources. If all municipalities contributed to the same program or service it would create efficiencies and economics of scale, making it cheaper.

The Greater Toronto

area is 5.5 million people.

Metro Vancouver is 2.3 million. The fire department in the GTA costs $371 million per year and has 40 officers in their administrative ranks. Metro fire departments costs $283 million and has over 100 officers in their administrative ranks.

Stats show car still king for Metro commuters Transit use up, but most workers battle traffic in vehicles

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouverites have Canada’s fourth longest commute to work at an average of 28.4 minutes, according to new data released by Statistics Canada.

Maple Ridge workers have it worst, battling traffic for an average of 35.2 minutes, while the commute is as much as 33 minutes in the TriCities and 31 minutes in Surrey.

The numbers were contained in the voluntary long-form National Household Survey conducted as part of the 2011 Census.

The region’s shortest commute was 24.3 minutes in North Vancouver City, where residents spend even less time getting to work than Vancouverites, who average 25.4 minutes.

Metro commuters overwhelmingly commuted by private vehicle — 70.7% — but that’s

NUMBERS:

• Vancouver – 25.4 minute average commute; transit use 30% • North Vancouver City – 24.3 minute average commute; transit use 22.8% • Burnaby – 29.1 minute average commute; transit use 28.1% • Richmond – 25.9 minute average commute; transit use 18% • Coquitlam – 31.8 minute average commute; transit use 17.1% • Maple Ridge – 35.2 minute average commute; transit use 9.5% • Surrey – 31 minute average commute; transit use 12.8% • Langley Township – 29 minute average commute; transit use 3.5% down from 74.4% in 2006.

Car pooling remains infrequent, with less than 5% of commuters saying they were passengers in

private vehicles.

Public transit use was 19.7% in Metro Va n c o u ve r, b e h i n d Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau, which had transit usage rates of 20 to 23%.

Transit ridership was up from 16.5% reported in 2006.

Broken down between travel mode, the findings show Metro commuters spent much longer getting to work if they took public transit — one possible reason why many still prefer to drive.

The average transit rider here commuted for 40.9 minutes compared to 26.4 minutes for motorists in private vehicles. Walkers averaged a 14.4-minute stroll to work while cyclists biked on average 23.8 minutes.

TransLink hopes to eventually whittle the share of car trips in the region down to 50%, while increasing the number of people who take transit, cycle or walk.

TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said the Statistics Canada findings are consistent with TransLink data, particularly on the growth of public transit.

“We are increasing our ridership,” he said.

“We have seen an 84% increase over the last decade, equal to 109 million more transit trips.”

Transit trips also increased in the last year, he said, through more efficient use of existing resources, with no extra injection of money.

B.C. throne speech renews election vows a “bogus” budget that aims to hold health care spending below one per cent growth, a target not seen since the Social Credit restraint program of the early 1980s.

The legislature is to sit until July 25, debating the budget and the spending estimates for all government ministries as required by law.

The first order of business Wednesday was the unanimous election of veteran Richmond East B.C. Liberal MLA Linda Reid as speaker of the legislature.

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain B.C. Liberal MLA Doug Horne was elected deputy speaker and Burnaby-Edmonds NDP MLA Raj Chouhan is assistant deputy speaker.

Tunnel boring expected early next year continued from front page

“We will expect to see the start of tunnel boring in February of 2014,” Farrell said, adding it will go on for about a year.

As for what will happen to all the material that comes out of the tunnel, Farrell said EGRT Construction has issued a request for proposals and should have a plan for how the material will be trucked out in the next month or so.

THE STATIONS

Pre-construction work for the Moody Centre Station kicked off in late May with changes to the West Coast Express parking lot, as well as access and exit points, to make way for the station.

Once it’s finished the station will sit between Moody and William streets and offer access to both the Evergreen Line and WCE. There will also be an expanded bus exchange centre with improved bus connections and bike storage facilities.

“We’re also working with the public art committee to integrate public art there,”Farrell said.

Recent tree removals sparked concern among residents living near the line, but Farrell said a certified arborist is tracking all tree removals. Replacements will be planted on a one-toone basis, though trees removed from railway lands are not included in the replacement program.

Submitted photo

An artist’s rendering of the Inlet Centre Station, which will be constructed in Port Moody.

Farrell said they’ve asked EGRT to speed up the landscape plans and drawings so the public can comment on them “earlier than would normally be the case” for this type of project.

City input will be sought for trees that can’t be replanted in the same location, she added.

Construction of the Inlet Centre Station at Ioco and Barnet promises to be tricky for both work crews and drivers, who will have to find an alternate route when the bridge is completely closed for the Thanksgiving Day long weekend in October.

An artist’s rendering shows two entrances to the Inlet Centre Station, allowing passengers to access it from either side and then head down to a lower-level platform.

“The station design is responsive to the community’s desire to not have an elevated station,”Farrell said. “It’s the most complex station on the alignment and I think it will be fantastic when finished.”

CONTRACT OPPORTUNITY

Building the platform under the road represents “a big huge piece of engineering that’s not commonplace for this area,” said PoMo’s senior project manager James Chandler.

“It’s quite a unique and exciting project.”

That’s because the way to get a station platform underneath an existing major intersection — there’s no room for lane relocations needed for cut-

and-cover construction — is by“tunnel jacking.”

Crews will be working non-stop over the threeday weekend to shove the concrete tunnel box — all 35 metres and 4,000 tonnes of it — from the east entrance and “pushing and jacking” it into place.

“The road will be cut and opened up by multiple excavators as the tunnel is pushed through,” Chandler said, “then back-filled in...resurface the road and it’s through in three days.”

But there’s plenty of work to be done before that feat of engineering, he added, mainly in moving the city utilities running through the area.

Chandler said from a traffic management perspective, a long holiday weekend was deemed the least disruptive.

Monkeys, anteaters and poison dart frogs — oh my! green scene Elaine Golds The wilds of South America

A

recent trip to three countries in Central America gave me a new appreciation for the impact this rather small piece of land has had on the evolution of life and human history of this planet.

Comprised of six countries (Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama), Central America is an elongated isthmus, which connects the two major American continents.

This wasn’t always the case. For a significant part of the earth’s history, North and South America were separate and distinct continents on which the forces of evolution resulted in the development of very different flora and fauna.

About two hundred million years ago most of the land mass of the planet formed a single large super-continent known as Pangaea.

Through the movement

Bruce Brandhorst photo

A female howler monkey and her young search for tender leaves to eat in the jungle surrounding the Yaxha archeology site in Guatemala. of tectonic plates, this supercontinent divided into two pieces, one of which later fragmented into North America, Asia and Europe while the second, called Gondwanaland, drifted away and eventually separated into South America, Africa, southern Asia, Australia and the Antarctic.

A mere three million years ago, the movement of tectonic plates between North and South America pushed up a mountainous ridge of volcanoes and created, first, a series of islands and, finally, a continuous connection between

the two American continents.The appearance of the isthmus of Central America also severed the link between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and resulted in the establishment of the Gulf Stream which sweeps warm water up from the tropics across the Atlantic Ocean and brings a moderate climate to Northern Europe.

The closure of an oceanic connection between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans also created an impetus for the divergent evolution of a variety of marine species along each of the Pacific and

Caribbean coasts.

The creation of a connection between the two Americas allowed for a great interchange of terrestrial species which probably helps to account for the remarkable biodiversity found in Central America today. With only 0.5% of the Earth’s land base, it supports 7% of all the species which inhabit the planet.

This interchange initially included a number of species which later became extinct, including giant ground sloths (originally from South America, they reached Alaska) as well as dire wolves, saber-toothed tigers and primitive horses from North America.

These relatively recent extinctions are thought to be due to the arrival, first in North America and then in South America, of a new and efficient hunter — humans — over the land bridge from Asia.

In general, the invasion of North American terrestrial species into South America was far more successful than the reverse migration.

Although the jungles of Central America offered hospitable conditions, only a few South

SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2013 - CAR SHOW TILL 4 PM - ENTERTAINMENT TILL 6PM

American animals (mainly opossums and porcupines) were able to adapt to the drier climate of temperate North America.

In contrast, several species of North American origin became well-established in South America.

These include members of the cat and camel families as well as wolves, foxes, raccoons, deer, peccaries, bears, mice, squirrels, skunks and rabbits. While we tend to associate llamas with Peru and jaguars with the Amazon, the ancestors of these animals migrated from North America; their descendants have been hugely successful in finding suitable habitat in

South America.

However, the tropical jungles of Central America provide ideal habitat for a number of species of South American origin including a variety of monkeys, anteaters, capybaras, armadillos and agoutis, poison dart frogs, caimans, vampire bats as well as birds such as toucans and the curassow.Thus, a visit to Central America offers opportunities to enjoy landscapes and animals more commonly associated with South America.

The human history of Central America is also fascinating. Guatemala, in particular, remains the heartland of the Mayans who established a major

civilization in the northern reaches of Central America from approximately 2000 BC until their decline (thought to be due to extreme drought) around 900 AD. While the heat and humidity of the jungle have destroyed many traces of their civilization, the stonework and statuary of their great cities persists in places such as Tikal, Caracol, Copan, and dozens of other sites.

Here, Alisha Mundy, a Grade 4 student, attempts to kick a small ball attached to a string, students and teachers play a hiding game using a colorful parachute and students Harim Chang, Zach Lagpacan, Tianne Jackson, Ella Watson and Hajun Cheng show off masks the students made.

Volunteers with the Hyde Creek Education Society participate in a clipping event at the hatchery in Port Coquitlam, clipping 5,585 coho fry to help with the identification of returning adult coho salmon.

Identifying fish at Hyde Creek More than 5,500 coho fry were clipped thanks to Hyde Creek Education Society volunteers during an event last week.

Clipping occurs in order to help with the identification of return-

ing adult coho salmon.

The fry will be monitored for a few days and then moved to the rearing pond where they will live until May or June of 2014. After that, they will head out to the ocean as smolts.

Th e H y d e C r e e k Watershed Society will hold its monthly meeti n g o n We d n e s d ay, July 3, starting at 7:15 p.m. at the Hyde Creek Education Centre and Hatchery (3636 Coast Meridian Rd., PoCo).

The public is invited to attend the meeting and learn about the society’s projects and tour the hatchery.

Map provides Tri-City civic info Want to know where the local wading pool is?

Or the closest community centre?

Parents can find out about resources closest to home in a new interactive community map developed by the The TriCities Early Childhood Development Committee a n d t h e Tr i - C i t i e s Literacy Committee.

The Interactive Tri-

Cities Community Resource Map is now online on the Tri-Cities ECD Committee website at www.tricitiesecd.ca under Resources.

Funded by the two local committees, the map provides information about resources for literacy programs in the Tri-Cities and information about programs and services for families with children

under six years of age.

It builds on the paper Tri-Cities Community Resource Map that was developed in 2012 and allows the user to hover over an icon on the map and then see the physical address and contact information. Each resource also has a link to the organization’s website.

The purpose of developing this resource is to

connect consumers with programs and services that they might not have been aware of.

For more information, contact the Tri-Cities Literacy Committee at tricitiesliteracy@gmail. com or the Tri-Cities ECD Committee at info@ tricitiesecd.ca. Some English copies of the paper resource are still available for distribution.

RCMP: Be safe this summer With the recent rain storms and cool temperature, it felt more like a raincoat and gumboots kind of season than shorts and flip flops.

The forecast is now calling for a warmer and sunnier July, and the Coquitlam RCMP would like to remind everyone heading to the recreational areas — such as Buntzen Lake, Pitt Lake and Indian Arm — to expect increased patrols in parks, beaches and lakes.

“We are not trying to rain on your summer festivities in the great outdoors,” said CoquitlamRCMP Cpl. Ja m i e C h u n g . “ O u r goal is to keep everyone safe both on land and in water by eliminating preventable injuries and deaths.”

WATER SAFETY

• Don’t push your limits when playing in water. Many drowning instances we have seen over the years have been as a result of fatigue and being too far from shore. Fatigue, sun, wind and boat motion can dull your senses and impair fine motor skills and judgment.

• Boaters, tubers and swimmers alike should always wear life jackets or personal floatation devices when on the water. They could save lives.

• Before heading out on the water, boaters should make sure their boat is equipped with enough Canadian approved lifejackets to fit themselves and everyone on board.

• Everyone who operates a power-driven pleasure craft must carry proof of competency on board. Proof of competency can be: 1. A Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC), which is good for life; 2. Proof that you passed a boating safety course in Canada be-

fore April 1, 1999; 3. A marine certificate of competency, training certificate or other equivalency; or 4. The completion of a Rental Boat Safety Checklist, if renting a boat.

• Drinking and driving, whether on land or water, is illegal and punishable under the Criminal Code. It is well known that drinking and taking to the water can lead to dangerous situations.

Operators are responsible for the safety of their guests and should consider other users of the waterway.

• Watch your speed.

Don’t race to the lake.

Speed is a major contributor to incidents on the roadways and on the water. Slow down.

• Do not put your feet in fast moving water that is deeper than the length of your arm. If a foot becomes entrapped by rocky bottom in deep water, the current will eventually push the swimmer over face first into the water.

RoAd SAFETY

• During the last few days of school, kids may be arriving or leaving school at varying times throughout the day. When school is in session, a 30-km/hr school zone speed limit is in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the summer months, speed limits in school zones are only in effect if summer school is in session, but kids often still play around these areas, so drive cautiously at all times.

• Drivers aren’t used to seeing crowded playgrounds and parks during the day but this all changes as we welcome summer.

Remember that playground speed limits remain in effect yearround. When driving around playgrounds and parks, observe carefully. Small children are less predictable and harder to see than adults.

• In residential areas, a hockey net or

ball can mean that kids are playing nearby.

Remember that a child could dash into the

Residents can now select a number of options to receive a reminder as well as print their personalized Curbside Collection Schedule for easy reference and upload their Curbside Collection Schedule to their personal calendar of choice: iCal, Google Calendar, or Microsoft Outlook.

For mobile users, residents with an iPhone or Android device can download the App for their collection calendar at their fingertips and to set up weekly reminders.

The City will distribute its traditional paper Curbside Collection Schedule for 2013/2014, but with this new service the demand for printing will decrease in the future. Reducing production costs as well as the use of paper are goals the City is looking forward to achieving.

The tool will also provide up-to-date reminders such as statutory holiday reminders, snowfall interruptions and other service changes.

Visit coquitlam.ca/curbsidecollection, simply type in your address, view your personalized Curbside Collection online.

Coming Soon - Online Inspection Scheduling In an ongoing effort to make scheduling inspections easier and more convenient, the City will be moving toward online, web-based inspection scheduling system.

You will be able to: Schedule your inspection(s) online using your computer or mobile phone, or Schedule your inspection using the existing Touchstone Inspection Service (TIBS).

The City will provide useful, easy-to-understand information on how to use the new scheduling system in the near future. Watch for more information coming soon, and feel free to ask one of our Building Division Staff any questions you may have about this new process and/or any other queries you have regarding inspections and permits. These improvements will result in a more efficient process for customers and staff.

Secret Ridge brings paired homes to Coquitlam

A different type of attached home Mission Group Properties is bringing a different type of home to Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain with Secret Ridge, which offers unique “paired homes.”

A paired home is attached like a townhome, but is much larger and has the feel of a single-family residence. The paired homes at Secret Ridge are 35 feet wide, which is more than double the usual size of a townhome.

“We gave careful consideration in the design of the homes’ layouts, with the homeowner in mind,” says Mission Group President Randall Shier. “These large duplex-style homes look, feel and act more like a single-family home, but at a very attractive price point.”

The homes have been particularly attractive to downsizers, in part because of the special features. One of those is the master-on-main layout that allows you the flexibility and convenience in the long term. One of the floorplans actually features two master suites, for those who prefer to have their own sleeping quarters or a guest space.

“Homes offering wider layouts, larger sizes and most importantly, a master bedroom on the main floor is not commonly offered in Coquitlam,” says Coquitlam councillor Mae Reid.

For more information about Secret Ridge, visit www.secretridge.ca or call 604-725-8126.

caretaker George Wright is sure to be part of why your every experience at your cottage getaway will be wonderful.

Wright will be available to help you plant a flower garden, grow vegetables, teach you about woodworking or just sit around and have a chat. He has been one of the inspirational forces behind The Cottages at Seabright Farm, and it’s obvious to even the most casual observer how passionate he is about everything he gets involved with.

“You can walk out your door and grab vegetables, herbs and fruit for dinner,” Wright says. “There’s nothing like this anywhere.”

Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase. The two-or-morebedroom cottages will include stone fireplaces, high ceilings, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, relaxing

decks and covered porches. Srigley says that a family “can start with a cozy cottage and then over time, add studios or guest suites attached by breezeways, garages with lofts and potting sheds.”

A circa-1895 cottage has been lovingly preserved and, along with the community barn and gardens and a swimming pool, will become Seabright Farm’s gathering place, plus a venue to hold art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances, and of course, wine tastings!

Cottages on large ocean-view lots start at $399,000. Only 15 lots out of a total of 57 are being released this summer. For more information, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com or call 1-888-732-6915. A preview weekend will take place on June 29 to July 1, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and interested buyers are encouraged to pre-register online and call or email for an appointment time.

‘Point Roberts has character’

Oceanfront relaxation at The Cottages at Seabright Farm

By Kerry Vital

“Look at that sunlight filtering through the trees,” says Wayne Knowles as he drives onto the property at The Cottages at Seabright Farm. “This is a once in a generation opportunity.”

Knowles, the development partner for The Cottages at Seabright Farm, located in Point Roberts, is extremely excited about the project and what it means to the community.

Point Roberts has long been a popular spot for Canadians, especially those from the Lower Mainland looking for a quick and easy getaway without having to deal with a long drive or a ferry. Just across the border from Tsawwassen, you’ll find a relaxing atmosphere with a charming feel, great weather and plenty of activities to keep you as busy as you want to be.

“There’s so many things you can do,” says Knowles. “Or you can do nothing at all.”

The Point Roberts Golf and Country Club is a full 18-hole course for when you’re in the mood to hit the links, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park, where you can find plenty of opportunities to see orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing.

The 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just a moment down the road from The Cottages at Seabright Farm, with its sandy bluffs and tidal flats. Plus, the full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is just down the road. The unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience.

“Point Roberts has character,” Knowles says. “It’s totally authentic and small enough to be a true community.”

The Cottages at Seabright Farm is located on 62 acres of direct southfacing waterfront, and the land is a rare and exceptional canvas. Vancouver award-winning visionary and design specialist Cal Srigley has been engaged to create a one-of-a-kind community.

“Point Roberts has a unique landscape that shapes our designs,” Srigley states. “Ocean bluffs with long vistas, protected meadows and fields, and sun-dappled woodlands characterize the community and especially our site.”

He notes that the sky, which is seemingly endless, lends character to the landscape. The cottages are based on Point Roberts’ historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings.

“We also incorporated many

“

You can walk out your door and grab vegetables, herbs and fruit for dinner,” says onsite resident farmer and caretaker George Wright. elements to accommodate outdoor living such as porches, verandas and breezeways to link the buildings together and create outdoor rooms for casual living. We grouped houses together and created intimate enclosed yards around them, freeing up much of the landscape to give the appearance of farm clusters rather than sub-division lots,” Srigly says. “The overall effect is of a small rural settlement, with open land throughout and picturesque cottages that are charming, yet simple and authentic in their detail and materials.”

The Cottages at Seabright Farm are designed for family fun, whether you want to go horseback riding on one of the trails, learn something at the community barn and gardens on the property, wander the beach looking for driftwood or play board games on your deck.

Flowering shrub will steal the show IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

V

irtually every well-tended garden is now going through its cycle of summer colour, but a certain flowering shrub is just around the corner, preparing to steal the show.

Hydrangeas, next to roses, are perhaps the most common deciduous flowering shrub in West Coast gardens. The macrophylla, or garden hydrangea, was introduced to England in 1736, and since then a whole series of exciting new varieties have been developed for the home garden.

When folks ask me to recommend a good vine for a shady north wall, my first choice is the climbing hydrangea, anomala petiolaris.

This deciduous, fast-growing vine has fourinch-long, dark, heart-shaped glossy leaves.

It has aerial rootlets that cling to virtually anything standing still and the plant itself will stretch to twenty feet or more, if left untrimmed.

Its foliage appears quite early in the spring and lasts well into the autumn. In my opinion, it almost qualifies as an evergreen vine. The real feature of this attractive vine, however, is its large, flat white flower clusters which grow to six inches across and

resemble the lace-cap varieties.

This hydrangea is hardy to -25 degrees Celsius. which is surprising because of its lush appearance. It’s a winner in any garden and will tolerate some sun, but the foliage is far richer in a more shaded location.

The flowering hydrangeas you see in fall gardens are most likely the heat loving P.G. varieties (P.G. is short for paniculata Grandiflora).

You’ve probably seen some in tree forms as many have been grafted that way.

It is quite easy to select one strong branch and train it into a tree form. Believe it or not, this hydrangea is Prairie hardy, tolerating temperatures of -35 degrees Celsius. Given time, the plant can become almost a tree, stretching up to 12 feet in height, however most folks like to keep them trimmed back to around six feet to conform to most garden situations.

Its massive, pendulous cone-shaped flowers appear in mid-July and often last until late September when they take on a pinkish hue.

The foliage of this fine garden plant also turns a rich bronze in fall, so it is a colourful accent in your autumn garden.

Most hydrangeas are very versatile, but they prefer moist soil and bloom far longer with some shelter from the intense afternoon sun.

They are one great garden plant, and two or three varieties in a garden will be a welcome addition.

Locals top women’s leaderboard

By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

A foursome from the Tri-Cities rounded out the leaderboard on the last day of the 2013 B.C. Golf Women’s Amateur Championship on Thursday (June 27).

Port Coquitlam’s SooBin Kim retained a onestroke lead through the final round of the tournament being played at the Pitt Meadows Golf Club, a par-74, 6220-yard course.

On Wednesday, Kim played in a stacked threesome that included fellow Tri-City native Jisoo Keel, who is headed to Stanford University in the fall, and past provincial champion Christine Wong of Richmond.

The Coquitlam Metro Ford Soccer Club bested the Fusion FC 3-0 in the U-15 semi finals of the B.C. Soccer Premier League Cup at Town Centre Stadium on June 23. Coquitlam now advances to the finals on Saturday (June 29) at South Surrey Athletic Park, where they will meet Mountain United FC.

Field hockey star has sights set on UMaine Coq. athlete and Gleneagle grad will join two other B.C. players

By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Sydney Veljacic will be mixing business with field

hockey prowess when she arrives at the University of Maine for the start of her full-ride athletic scholarship this fall.

The recent Gleneagle secondary graduate and Tri-City Eagles’ alumna captained the Talons to a third place finish in the high school field hockey

provincials. She has also just been named to the U-21 Canadian women’s national field hockey team that will compete at the 2013 Ju n i o r Wo r l d C u p from July 27 to Aug. 4 in Monchengladbach, Germany.

Veljacic attended identification camps this spring, as part of

the national team selection process in which 26 girls from across Canada are invited to train with the squad; she now joins a pareddown,18-player roster.

P l ay i n g a s e r i e s against Argentina in May, and their recent first place finish at Field Hockey Canada’s Senior National

Championships, served as a training ground for Veljacic and her teammates.

“All these events are stepping stones that are leading up to the Junior National Team’s main goal, the Junior World Cup,” Veljacic told The Tri-City News. see nCaa, page 36

Tri-Cities’

The Premier Club

For further information on the Club:

Coquitlam native Dante Fabbro has been n a m e d B .C . M i n or Hockey Player of theYear

by Hockey Now magazine.

The award is open to 2013 bantam-draft eligible players who are B.C. Hockey League members and enrolled at an educational facility.

Judging is based on hockey ability, sportsmanship, academic achievement and community involvement. A selection team of Western Hockey League and B.C. Hockey scouts make the call.

Fabbro captained the Burnaby Winter Club Bantam AAA team and was selected eighth overall by the Seattle

Thunderbirds in this year’s WHL Bantam Draft. His Burnaby Winter Club coach had nothing but praise for the 15-year-old defenceman when he heard news of the award.

“I thought [Hockey Now] made the right decision, to be quite honest,” John Batchelor told The Tri-City News. “[Dante] plays well at both ends of the ice. He understand the game at a high level.”

Batchelor said Fabbro is set to join the ranks of his Burnaby Winter Club predecessor, Edmonton Oilers’ forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, in playing in the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and the NHL early, at age 19.

NCAA school beckons Veljacic will make her way to Maine. Being able to play field hockey in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is why she chose the East Coast school — along with the university’s internationally accredited business program, Veljacic’s area of study.

“This will definitely be the biggest event that I have competed in and I feel extremely honoured and excited to have the opportunity to represent Canada at the Junior World Cup.” When university beckons in September,

“UMaine had the right mix of competitive athletics and strong academics,” she explains. “I also knew girls on the team from B.C., as well as two other incoming freshmen from B.C., which makes the transition from B.C. to Maine a little easier.”

“Both Yang and Kim would match the best rounds of day two by not making a bogey between the two of them,” said McGrath in a press release.
