Big changes coming to Coq. casino Boulevard will be rebranded as Hard Rock Casino

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A rock ‘n roll restaurant and casino brand known around the world is about to be dealt in Coquitlam.

Ye s t e r d ay, G r e a t Canadian Casinos (GCC) announced it will revamp its Boulevard Casino into Hard Rock Casino Vancouver.

Its launch will happen this winter at the United Boulevard venue — the first time Hard Rock Casino will have a Canadian facility.

“It’s a great opportunity to give ourselves a new property and it’s something exciting

for everyone in Metro Vancouver to want to come to,” GCC vice president Howard Blank told The Tri-City News on Tuesday.

The rebranding and partnership with Hard Rock Casino will mean more top-notch entertainment — White Snake and Toni Braxton are scheduled to appear this summer — and dining; however, there will be no expansion of the 80,000-sq. ft. casino floor that has 950 slots, Blank said.

As well, there will be memorabilia throughout the gaming centre that will focus on Canadian music acts. “Whether you’re 19 or 99, we’re going to have something for you here,”Blank said. see ROBINSON, page 3

M e t r o Va n c o u ve r mayors are pressing the provincial government to abandon its promise to hold a referendum on any plan to raise more money for TransLink through new taxes or tolls.

There are no details yet on how the province intends to tackle the pledge, which was contained in the BC Liberals’ election platform and re-

inforced during the campaign by Premier Christy Clark.

“The demand for public transit service is growing more rapidly than Translink is currently funded to accommodate, and we do not feel a referendum is the best means to resolving the issue,” Metro Vancouver mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said.

Mayors debated the topic behind closed doors at a meeting June 19 and passed a unanimous resolution formally opposing a referendum on new funding tools for TransLink. see REFERENDUM, page 6

Nurse practitioners play special role In acute care they’re the daily eyes and ears on patients, so surgeons can focus on what they do best

N

urse practitioners have been regulated for primary health care in B.C. since 2005.

But until Jocelyn Reimer-Kent came along, they weren’t allowed to practice acute care for cardiac surgery patients at Royal Columbian Hospital.

A graduate of the Bachelors and Masters nursing program at the University of Manitoba, and a long-time clinical nurse specialist in the cardiac program at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, when Reimer-Kent headed west she knew nurse practitioners in her new province could offer more than had originally been envisioned.

Working in consultation with Dr. Derek Gunning, a cardiac surgeon at RCH and colleague Carol Galte, a seasoned cardiac nurse practitioner, Reimer-Kent developed an intensive six-month postgraduate fellowship program to educate nurse practitioners to expand on their initial nurse practitioner training and complement care provided by nurses and surgeons to patients in the hospital’s cardiac surgery unit.

“Coming into acute care, it’s a specialty,” says Reimer-Kent of the increased demands put upon nurse MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER practitioners in acute care.

Acute care nurse practitioner Nicky Aaaronson is one of two nurse practitioners working in the cardiac care unit at Royal Columbian Hospital.

“It’s a much deeper breadth of knowledge. If there’s a problem, you’ve “People didn’t understand what we were doing,” That extra set of highly trained eyes can also be got to be able to respond to it right away.” she says. “It did take a bit of time, but I knew that a life saver, as was the case for Donald Soutar, Nicky Aaronson is the program’s first fellowship was part of the deal.” a Burnaby senior who was recovering from a graduate and she’s now one of two Reimer-Kent says the intent of the acute care double bypass at RCH when Aaronson suspected nurse practitioners working in the nurse practitioners program is to take something wasn’t going well Did you know? cardiac surgery unit at RCH. some of the load off surgeons, to be a few days after surgery.

Residents rally for byelection

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

New name for Red’s theatre continued from front page

As for the 1,000-seat Red Robinson Show Theatre, Blank said it will be included in the property but the name likely won’t stay. Still, GCC will have a tribute area within the facility to the famous radio personality and company ambassador, Blank said.

A s ke d a b o u t t h e name Hard Rock Casino “Vancouver” — rather than “Coquitlam” — Blank said the title is for tourists. “When you travel away, [people] say ‘What city are you from?’

You say, ‘Vancouver.’”

Blank also wasn’t firm about when its planned hotel will be built. Last year, Coquitlam city council approved a development permit for GCC to build accommodations — with a lounge, spa, pool and fitness facilities — and a convention centre at Boulevard Casino.

“We have no date yet,” Blank said of the hotel construction. “Right now, we’ve been spending millions of dollars redoing the entire property first.

[The hotel] is something

RENDERINGS COURTESY OF GCC

Renderings show what the Boulevard Casino will look like after it is transformed into the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver. when our executive and board feels ready is something we will look at.”

A spokesperson for the city of Coquitlam was unable to say how much more money the rebranding will mean for the municipality, which receives 10% of net gaming profits.

Since it opened in 2002, Coquitlam has been granted $89 million as a result of “hosting” the Boulevard Casino. It also

reaps around $1.4 million in annual property taxes.

“I think it will be really well received by our citizens,” Mayor Richard Stewart said. “It’s an exciting ‘tweaking’ of the facility. Although I’m not in favour of gambling, it seems like a great business move for the casino.”

And Stewart said he isn’t bothered by “Vancouver” in the title.

“You can be in a hotel

named after the bigger city,” the mayor said. “If you name it after the suburb, people won’t stay there because it’s not in the Google search.”

Stewart said GCC has promised to include the name “Coquitlam” within the venue.

“The expansion of the Hard Rock Casino into the Vancouver area is an important milestone for us,” said Jody Lake, chief operating officer of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, in a statement.

“We look forward to working closely with the Great Canadian Gaming team as they transition their property to a Hard Rock Casino.”

Coquitlam home and business owners paying their property taxes at city hall yesterday (Tuesday) were also given a slip of paper from a group of citizens calling for a civic byelection.

The leaflet, which was handed out by Coquitlam residents Steve Bailey and Wayne Taylor as well as Anmore’s Fred Soofi — a previous Coquitlam council contender — asks residents to sign an online petition to urge Mayor R i c h a rd S t ewa r t and the six current councillors to vote next week in favour of holding a byelection to replace councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson.

Reimer and Robinson are on leaves of absence until July 8, when city council will decide whether to extend their leaves until Jan. 3, 2014 a date that would prevent voters from going to the polls.

In May, Reimer replaced Joe Trasolini as the BC Liberal M L A f o r Po r t Moody-Coquitlam while Robinson won the CoquitlamMaillardville seat for the BC NDP that was held by Diane Thorne.

Council has already budgeted for a byelection; the city’s e l e c t i o n r e s e r ve stands at $639,000.

Speaking from city hall yesterday, Bailey said he and his team — which also handed out leaflets during the Canada Day celebra-

tions at Town Centre Park — have received mixed reactions about a byelection: Half of those surveyed want replacements while others don’t like the hefty bill.

“We feel it’s the democratic right of people in Coquitlam to exercise their franchise and to have a full complement of councillors to do the work,” Bailey said.

“We’ve had two very hard-working councillors elected to provincial office and they need to be replaced so that citizens have full access to dialogue, to airing their concerns, to solving their problems with councillors.”

Bailey, a chaplain at the Royal Canadian Legion in Coquitlam and at seniors’ homes who has been part of activist campaigns in the past, said his “approach is social justice and democracy rather than any political agenda.” As of Tuesday, his team had distributed about 350 flyers.

“Council has a decision to make and it will do what is in the best interest of the city,” Mayor Richard Stewart said yesterday.

Further, Stewart said he’d like to use the “savings” of not holding a byelection and not replacing the two council seats to speed up the school safety traffic program, for example.

Limited housing options for women fleeing violence

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Como Lake Gardens opened up in 2012 with 30 units — and a waiting list of single moms seeking stable, affordable housing for their families. A new study commissioned by the Tri-Cities Homeless Task Group suggests women fleeing violence or who are on low-income face waiting lists to find stable housing for their families.

A study into the housing needs of women in poverty or fleeing violence in the Tri-Cities suggests gaps in affordable housing and gives a surprising picture of need in a community of relative wealth.

But with money for affordable housing either tight or nonexistent, solutions aren’t readily available, admits TriCities Homeless and Housing Task Group chair Sandy Burpee.

“There’s not a lot of funding around these days that’s not specifically targeted. I’m not anticipating any quick

fix solutions,” Burpee said.

The study, paid for with a grant from Vancity Community Foundation, shows the Tri-Cities’ 10-bed transition house for women fleeing violence is wellused, with as many as 200 to 300 women using the shelter in a year, many with children in tow.

Another approxim ately 4 0 0 to 6 0 0 wo m e n a r e t u r n e d away from Joy’s Place each year for various reasons, including lack of space. However, TriCity Transitions executive director Carol Metz Murray has announced that a new 14-bed facil-

ity with six units of second stage housing will be available soon to address some of that need.

Still, moms on lowincome are finding it increasingly difficult to stay in the Tri-Cities where their children go to school and are having to make other arrangements.

B o n n i e M o r i a r t y, managing director with the the Elizabeth Fry Society, said approximately 20 TriCity women with children seek shelter each year at Elizabeth Gurney House, in New Westminster, because they and their children are in unsafe or precarious housing situations.

“They may be in New West but they want to stay in Tri-Cities where their kids are still in school. What they’re looking for isn’t affordable for them, they try to go back into the community, but often it’s not realistic.”

Sometimes families have to split up to find housing, with older children staying with friends or other family members until long waiting lists can be broached and stable housing found.

New Westminster’s Elizabeth Gurney House is a shelter that provides longer-term stays for women with children needing to stabi-

lize their housing situations, something that’s not available in the TriCities, Moriarty said. As well, there are resources available, such as mental health support, that isn’t easily accessed in certain areas of the TriCities.

“We get women with challenges around mental health, the resources aren’t around.

I don’t want to pick on the Tri-Cities but they are falling through the cracks. If you’re a single women, with problems with alcohol and drugs, the programming isn’t there as well,” Moriarty said. see StuDy, page 7

More bears turning up in residential neighbourhoods Last month’s bear sighting numbers shows a jump in the Tri-Cities

By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

With summer heating up the number of human/bear encounters is also on the rise, prompting the Conservation Officer Service to remind TriCity residents to be bear aware.

The number of bear complaints reported to the COS since April shows bears are rambling through residential neighbourhoods in increasing numbers. Calls from Coquitlam since the spring are at 312 (207 of which were placed in June), followed by 216 from Port Coquitlam (133 last month). Port Moody has logged 82 (51 in June) with another 13 in Anmore (five in June).

A report late last week of a bear being shot near Lincoln Avenue and Shaughnessy Street turned out to be a false alarm, said Conservation officer Cody Ambrose, who added a nearby resident probably used a bear banger to scare a bruin away.

“The COS recommends using air horns instead of bear bangers as a technique to deal with bears,” he wrote in an email.

Ambrose said another problem last week involved a large group of people in PoCo following and photographing a bear, a dangerous situa-

help cops name horse Th e R C M P wa n t Canadian youth to name that horse — well, six of them, actually.

The national police force is asking children and youth aged 14 and under to name the six foals that will be born soon at the breeding farm in Pakenham, Ontario, some of which may one day be part of the world-famous Musical Ride. Names must begins with the letter “K” and be six letters or less.

Only one entry per child is eligible, and online submissions must be received by July 8.

Winning names will be chosen by instructors of the RCMP Musical Ride Branch and announced in September.

Visit www.rcmp-grc. gc.ca/mr-ce/foal-poulaineng.htm for details and to enter.

There have been 312 bear sightings in Coquitlam since the spring, while PoCo has had 216 and Port Moody has logged 82. tion that also creates traffic problems.

“When we have large groups of people following and crowding a bear it can turn sideways quickly, especially if the bear feels threat-

ened,” Ambrose said. “We want to remind people that these are wild animals and to treat them with respect. These types of events also don’t leave the COS with much options when we have to

take public safety into consideration.”

Ambrose noted that garbage also continues to be a problem here.

The Wildlife Act stipulates that it’s an offence to attract dangerous wildlife to your property; garbage that isn’t secured in a bear-proof can can result in a $230 fine.

“A bear that accesses garbage will likely never go back to natural food sources and eventually gets into conflicts,” Ambrose said.

The Tri-Cities’ geography — cities filled with greenbelts and up against the mountains — means residents should expect to see many different species of wildlife in their back yards.

“The COS asks residents to do their part to avoid negative humanwildlife interactions,” Ambrose said.

• Conflicts with wildlife should be reported 24/7 to the COS at 1-877952-7277.

Teen falls to his death at indian arm park A t e e n a g e r f ro m Mexico died Sunday after being swept over the edge of Granite Falls, a popular recreation area at the north end of Indian Arm. Coquitlam RCMP said the 16-year-old boy, who was camping with friends in the area, was swimming in the pools at the top of the waterfall when he was suddenly swept down the falls, plummeting nearly 50 feet.

He was immediately pulled from the water and given CPR by some off-duty nurses who happened to be at the park, but his injuries proved too severe.

Coquitlam RCMP said the boy’s family has been contacted by the Mexican consulate but his name is not being released.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie is one of the Metro mayors who think it’s a recipe for disaster and the issue is too complex to be left to voters.

They argue a defeat of new funding sources by tax-hating voters would doom Metro Vancouver to a stagnant transit system for decades with rapid transit expansion frozen, while the population grows and congestion worsens.

“I think the referendum is a terrible idea and it should be reconsidered,” Brodie said.

“We believe it’s a shortsighted, unwise decision.”

Metro mayors have suggested options that could be invoked quickly — like an annual vehicle levy, a share of the carbon tax or even a small regional sales tax. Over the longer term they also want to pursue road pricing, which could bring congestion control advantages as well as new cash, but would require years of study and preparation.

Most mayors think voters are apt to vote ‘No’ out of a kneejerk response, without contemplating the downside of failing to expand transit, or understanding potential traffic flow benefits from road tolls.

The mayors’ resolution also warns a referendum could be very divisive.

“If the most expensive improvements are south of the Fraser, the people elsewhere in the region will understand they have very little to personally gain from the funding and they won’t approve it,” Brodie said.

“It will divide the whole region and if it fails we’ll be farther behind than we ever were.”

He said the premier and minister must show leadership on the issue and not use the promised plebiscite as a way to dodge a difficult challenge.

“A referendum is simply a way to avoid responsibility,” Brodie said.

“Yes, the people are unhappy with extra taxes or levies for anything.

But an expanded public transportation system is critical to the environmental goals we have set and it’s critical that we get more people out of their cars.”

New Transportation Minister Todd Stone said he looks forward to meeting the mayors soon but said the government has no intention of ditching the referendum commitment.

“I want to be very clear to the mayors and the people of the Lower Mainland, there will be referendum on any new funding options, period,”

Tree removal makes way for Evergreen Preparations for the Evergreen Line will soon require tree removal along creeks in Port Moody before building the guideway and stations.

Crews will be removing trees and brush in stages over the next few months, starting along Schoolhouse and Slaughterhouse creeks in early July, followed by Pigeon and Suterbrook creeks later this month.

Environmental management plans and permits for the Evergreen Line include an arborist’s inventory of the trees located along the guideway and station locations. Trees along the railway land that pose operational issues will be removed, but not replaced.

Lands next to rivers and streams are fenced off and all species living in these areas will be relocated, according to an EGRT Construction release. Bird nest surveys will be completed prior to any tree removals.

Stone said in an interview.

“Let’s sit down, let’s roll up our sleeves and figure out what would be the most appropriate question for this referendum.”

During the provincial election campaign, former Transportation Minister Mary Polak suggested the referendum might force voters to choose some new funding tool for

TransLink from a menu of options – none-ofthe-above wouldn’t be a permitted outcome – but Premier Christy Clark swiftly rejected that notion. Stone said the province will ensure taxpayers “have a say in any new funding options” but struck a more cautious note than Clark, refusing to go so far as to guarantee voters an ability to outright veto any extra

transit funding.

“My vision of this is still forming,” he said, adding he doesn’t want to pre-judge the discussions to come.“There are many different ways we could come at this question.”

Stone also said the province will introduce TransLink governance reform legislation in the spring of 2014 to give mayors more say in spending priorities.

As a minister from Kamloops, Stone said he brings no axe to grind on behalf of any one part of the region.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to hit the reset button and come to the table and have a frank and open discussion.”

TransLink is updating its long-range Transportation 2045 plan, which puts more emphasis on road pricing as a tool to raise money and control congestion. By fall it’s to draw up a 15year plan of proposed new investments. That list of what’s needed — expected to include new lines in Surrey and on Vancouver’s Broadway corridor – would then be paired up with proposed funding sources to finance the work.

Hard line continues for provincial workers

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Government revenues have fallen $900 million short of February’s budget projections, and teachers and other government workers can expect no new money for wages, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said lastThursday.

Bright spots for the B.C. economy include an expected recovery in natural gas prices from historic lows, and $500 million in savings on government operations, de Jong said in a post-election budget update.

B.C. is continuing an effective freeze on public sector wage growth that began in 2010. Since the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate in 2012, nearly three quarters of union members have signed contracts with average pay increases of 1% to 2%, financed through savings in other areas of operations. Most are two-year deals, with some halfway

through.

T h e projected surplus for this ye a r i s trimmed from $197 De jong million in February to $153 million, and de Jong had to trim contingency funds to reach that.

Tax hikes are unchanged from February, including a two-year increase for personal income over $150,000 and a tobacco tax increase set for October.

The budget calls for $30 million in spending cuts this year, after last year’s reduction of $20 million in all ministries except health. The government’s“core review”of government operations is getting underway with a target of another $50 million in savings by the end of 2014, but no program targets are identified in the budget update.

The price for natural gas, the key commodity for the government’s

debt reduction plan, is forecast to rise from $2.25 per gigajoule this year to $2.51 and $2.89 in the next two years. Exports of liquefied natural gas to Asia, where prices are currently far higher, can’t begin until well after 2015. Lumber prices are forecast to decline, from a peak of US $348 per 1,000 board feet this year to $308 in 2014 and $300 in 2015.

De Jong said the government’s asset sales plan is about $8 million ahead of projections, with about half of the properties, bonds and other financial holdings sold or in negotiations to sell.

The goal is to raise $475 million for next year’s budget. Properties already sold include land on Tranquille Road in Kamloops, a school board office in Kelowna, surplus school land in Delta, vacant lots in Burnaby, Surrey and near Victoria General Hospital and former school sites in Surrey and North Vancouver.

Public consultation plan on pay parking considered

By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Talks on how to implement pay parking at Rocky Point Park have been sent back to Port Moody’s committee of the whole.

A staff report on a public consultation plan for pay parking had PoMo council praising the in-depth report, but the proposed survey questions garnered poor reviews.

“I find the public engagement incredibly lacking in depth in comparison to the staff report,” said Coun.

Dilworth at last Tuesday’s meeting.

T h e proposed q u e s tions, she DILWORTH added, would likely offer little insight into how residents would respond to pay parking.

Neal Carley, general manager of engineering and parks, said staff were still in the development stages and the questions could be adjusted.

But Dilworth noted council was being asked

to approve nearly $5,000 in spending for the public consultation, which was set to kick off during the Golden Spike Days festivities, something she couldn’t do without having a better list of questions that would gauge the public’s reaction on the details of a pay parking plan — including free or reduced parking for residents.

“I think there has to be some phase where some of the options are flushed out a bit, and presented to the public like we did with the official community plan,” added Coun.

Rick Glumac.

Coun. Zoe Royer added she’d like to see a survey of the nearby businesses, including those in the park and along the Murray Street corridor, before moving ahead with the plan.

Mayor Mike Clay suggested council should first decide whether it’s even willing to approve pay parking at Rocky Point, noting without such support “we’re just wasting our time.”

Council agreed to discuss the matter at a future committee of the whole meeting.

he Canadian dollar is sinking. Gas prices have been going up for the past month. Banks are making noise about raising mortgage rates.

The housing market is cooling. The weather seems changeable on the hour.

It must be summer.

And with the ever-increasing gloom and doom that seems to drain our optimism and energy at a quickening pace, it’s never been more imperative to tune out and step back. At least for a stretch.

Getting away from the workplace, turning down the busyness of our lives is an important change to routine. It reduces anxiety and stress, allows us a chance to recharge, maybe even refocus.

Holidays make for happier, more motivated employees who are able to return to work re-invigorated.

But Canadian holiday entitlements lag behind those enjoyed by workers in many other countries.

We get a minimum of 10 working days off depending on the province and tenure of employment.

That’s supplemented by 10 public statutory holidays, like Canada Day, which many people took the time to enjoy last weekend.

Australian workers get 20 working days off, plus 10 paid public holidays.

Brazilians enjoy 22 working days off, plus a 33% premium on top of their regular pay. Workers in Denmark get 25 work days off plus an additional nine public holidays.

German workers get four weeks off plus nine to 13 public holidays. In Finland, the minimum mandated holiday time is 30 days.

Even workers in developing countries like India are granted 12 work days a year for holiday.

But in the United States there’s absolutely no legal provision for mandated holiday time. Employees are completely at the mercy of their employer.

Canadians may not feel we get enough holiday, but at least we get something.

-The Burnaby News Leader

Premier Clark resumes Campbell arrogance BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA all it the Beach Blanket Budget.

Despite having to campaign once again to win a seat in a byelection, Premier Christy Clark has ordered the legislature to sit without her through most of July to pass the budget that was tabled before the election.

This rare summer session ensures a couple of things. First, there will be less time for real financial results to contradict the rosy predictions made by Finance Minister Mike de Jong in February.

Second, it ensures that there will be minimum public attention paid to the deliberations, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of running the province aside again.

B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong insists there has been no decision made on

C

whether the legislature will sit again in the fall. The standard schedule, put in place under former premier Gordon Campbell, calls for MLAs to assemble in October and November, to consider legislation, after a spring devoted to the budget and ministry spending.

This was a serious reform that went along with four-year scheduled elections. But Campbell soon abandoned this noble approach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappearing altogether.

I expected Clark to reverse that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books. Open, accountable government and all that.

So why the summer session? I’m inclined to agree with NDP house leader John Horgan, who meets privately with de Jong in his role of government house leader to thrash out schedules. Here’s Horgan’s message to Clark and her government as he emerged from the latest meeting: “You ran on a platform that you claimed you

n

were ready to implement. And what we’re getting instead is, ‘let’s jam ’em in here while the media’s on holidays, while people are at the beach thinking about other things. We’ll pass our bogus budget and then we’ll see you in February’.”

Is the budget accurate, or“bogus,”or somewhere in between? They’re always projections, so that can’t be determined until next year. But the proposal to keep the increase in overall spending to less than 2%, with nearly all the increase going to health and education, is difficult to accept.

During his time, Campbell topped the Fraser Institute’s ranking of most fiscally responsible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4%. During those same years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1%, meaning that under the supposedly tightfisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20% of gross domestic product.

Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends to make

government smaller. That’s the difference between her“core review”of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate.

This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors.

That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales.

You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs. This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release.

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

Coquitlam must replace outgoing councillors The Editor, I am intrigued to learn that city council is experiencing some difficulty in making a decision on the issue of whether a byelection should be held as a result of the recent election to provincial office of both Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson.

I h ave r e c e n t l y learned from the city clerk’s office that this decision has been pushed back to city council’s

meeting on July 8, which is almost two months after the provincial election.

What is going on here? Why are we, as residents of this city, not being given the right to replace two councillors who are no longer serving in the positions to which they were elected? I think it would surprise both Ms. Reimer and Ms. Robinson that the service that they provided

to the city was not worthy of being replaced.

It is my strongly held belief that if council fails to decide in favour of a byelection, it will represent a major disservice to the residents of Coquitlam. In all honesty, this is not council’s decision to make. You are bound by your positions on council to replace these two councillors.

Finally, council should recognize that precedents for byelections

in this city have already been established.

Louella Hollington left council in 2007 and was replaced in a byelection and Finn Donnelly, who was elected to the federal parliament in 2009, was also replaced through a byelection.

I urge each and every one of you to support the holding of a byelection to replace Ms. Reimer and Ms. Robinson.

Wayne Taylor Coquitlam

Kudos for campaign The Editor, T h e Tr i - C i t i e s Chamber of Commerce deserves kudos for their Invest Local campaign.

If they can convince our provincial government to follow this mantra by having ferries and seabus’ built here in B.C. and by keeping control of our rivers and streams out of the hands of private power companies they can convince me to shop local too.

Ken Holowanky Coquitlam

Are there too many members on council?

The Editor, An affirmative decision to have a byelection for the council positions vacated by councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson should be as simple and as defensible as the decision made a few years ago to increase the size of council from

seven to nine members.

I recall that it was deemed essential by the council of the day to have two more members so that the workload would be lessened for any one councillor and that the people of the city would be better served.

Assuming that those

arguments were valid then, it is unreasonable for anyone on council at this time to believe that reducing the size of council from nine to seven members would not increase the workload and would not lessen the level of political

service for the people.

Therefore the question on the minds of Coquitlam councillors should be whether or not to have nine members on council. If they think that council can function effectively with seven members until the next election they should

agree that its size should be reduced to seven for the foreseeable future.

Considering that we have lost two of the hardest working members on council, I suggest that they get on with the byelection without delay.

BC Hydro fires five workers over marijuana grow-op ties Theft of power, equipment alleged against employees Jeff Nagel Black Press

BC Hydro has fired five workers, including one from Coquitlam after an internal investigation into whether staff aided marijuana growops that illegally tapped electricity.

Three more employees remain under investigation, the Crown corporation said Thursday

in a statement.

Hydro executive vicepresident Greg Reimer said the accusations against the workers include theft of BC Hydro equipment and facilitating the theft of electricity – both violations of the company’s code of conduct. The workers fired are in Prince George, Surrey, Coquitlam and Campbell River.

Ten more employees have returned to work after being questioned.

Reimer said information gathered has been forwarded to the RCMP and they’ll determine whether any criminal in-

vestigation ensues.

He said Hydro must protect the safety and security of the electrical system.

“We hope that the activities of a very small number of individuals do not overshadow the hard work and dedication of our employees who work every day to safely keep the lights on in British Columbia,”Reimer said.

Union officials previously confirmed some members had been suspended with pay as part of the investigation into conduct related to marjuana grow-ops.

Father & son score with app

By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

A homework project for a professional development course has turned into a collaborative learning experience — and even a bona fide iPad application — for a Port Moody father and son duo.

Dave Zille is a BCIT instructor who teaches project management for the web and, on the side, he runs a small web development company while his four-yearold son, Jonah, is busy attending daycare and playing hockey with his friends.

Because his business requires him to occasionally hire application developers, Zille decided he should learn more about the process himself and signed up for a BCIT class. When it came time to tackle the term project Zille knew he wanted to involve Jonah in some way. “ I t h o ug ht abo ut doing a learning or math game, but I didn’t want to necessarily have his attention focused on playing a game, even if it was a learning game,” Zille said. “So I figured, why not make it something physical?”

Jonah can often be found playing hockey, basketball or soccer down in the basement, leading Zille to suggest developing a scoreboard app that his son and his friends could use to keep track of their scores.

Zille figured Jonah would get a kick out of the idea, and working with his dad, but what he didn’t expect was just how involved the little guy would get.

“It turned into a real collaborative experience,” Zille recalled, noting Jonah diligently tested about a dozen other scoreboard apps to find the best features from one. Once their

Dave Zille and his son, Jonah, have created an application that can turn an ordinary iPad into a sports scoreboard. own version was in the testing phase, “He would find bugs in the application and report it back to me,” Zille said.

But Jonah didn’t stop there. The app was constantly on the boy’s mind and he was never short for ideas on how to improve the app — like a shot clock for basketball, and specific penalty times for hockey and the unique timing system for soccer (where the clock counts up, not down).

Zille said his young son’s feedback has proved invaluable, not least because of his age.

“Because Jonah is younger he’ll do what comes naturally, versus reading the instructions, so it’s a really good way to get feedback,” he said.

“We knew people could use it easily and seamlessly because of his help.”

Zille decided to pursue the possibility of

having the app — called JD Sports Scoreboard — added to the iPad store so the two would be able to look back on the bonding experience.

What he didn’t know, however, was how difficult the road to app success would be.

“It’s not a simple process,” he said. “We probably spent 50% of our time on building the app and the other 50% on the logistics of getting it into the store.”

There were a lot of hoops to jump through but when the app was accepted, Zille’s instructor invited him and Jonah to share their experiences with the app development class.

“But it was a good experience for both of us.”

The JD Sport Scoreboard app costs 99 cents to download, but Zille said the project isn’t intended to be a revenue generator — they’re donating any profits to BC Children’s Hospital — though they may pursue future business opportunities like selling the technology to schools as an inexpensive alternative to pricey, large-scale scoreboards.

In the end though, Zille emphasizes the project is all about learning and bonding with his little boy.

Readers can travel back in time with Great Wall books A GOOD READ Shirley Chan

A

network of wall segments built to protect China’s northern boundary, the Great Wall of China is the longest man-made defence structure in the world.

Qin Shi Huang (260 to 210 BC), the emperor who first unified China, ordered the earliest walls to be built. Several dynasties after the Qin added to and rebuilt the Great Wall: the Han (206 BC to 220 AD), Sui (581 to 618), Jin (1115 to 1234) and, most famously, the Ming (1368 to 1644), who constructed most of the stone and brick walls that survive today.

In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) placed the Great Wall on its list of the world’s great national and historical sites, leading to the publication of a book entitled The Great Wall, edited by Ru Suichu.

Its colorful photographs will surprise you with their unexpected perspectives and moods, capturing the vicissitudes of weather, time and human history. The vivid images artfully exclude people, highways, factories, and modern buildings, some of which encroach on and even damage sections of the wall.

By removing the wall from its modern context, the book achieves a time-

less quality, but sidesteps important questions about the preservation of historical monuments and the wall’s place in modern China.

Still, with its extraordinary visuals and its concise yet thoughtful text, The Great Wall is essential reading for photographers and historians. Travellers who prefer a more compact album should look for The Great Wall, a booklet published by the Foreign Languages Press, Beijing.

In English and Chinese, it has equally spectacular photos of the Ming wall, mainly near Beijing. Both books emphasize the romantic and scenic nature of the Wall.

For his remarkable book, The Great Wall Revisited, photographer William Lindesay gathered old photos of the Great Wall, then took modern photographs from the same vantage points. The result is a book with more than 100 sobering pairs of

then-and-now scenes, showing the destruction of many fine portions of the wall, including towers, due to erosion, wars, revolution, and tourism.

In some cases, he found that sections of the wall had disappeared altogether. Lindesay believes his photo comparisons may be the strongest tool to convince authorities to better preserve the monument.

In the text, Lindesay tracks knowledge of the wall in the west, profiling the remarkable William Edgar Geil (1865 to 1925), who pioneered the exploration of different sections of it. Also included are news stories and little-known battle images, taken from the Japanese invasion in the 1930s and 1940s, in which the wall figured prominently.

To get a deeper understanding of the wall, the book The Great Wall: China Against The World 1000 BC to AD 2000 by Julia Lovell, presents the reader with 3,000 years

of Chinese history from some new perspectives.

Though China is fond of presenting its history as essentially defensive and non-aggressive, Lovell notes that the walls were not simply meant to defend China from invaders. They were often built for the purpose of retaining territory annexed from the so-called“northern barbarians.”

Beginning in the 20th century, the wall has increasingly become a symbol of China, as well as an indicator of the country’s sense of self. An informative and entertaining contribution to the history of China’s defensive policy and her ideological attitudes, the book will be of interest to readers of Chinese history and international relations.

So the former Gleneagle secondary student will be right at home when she joins her fellow cast members at the Stanley Park Malkin Bowl in a Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) production of Legally Blonde: The Musical next weekend.

The show launches on July 8 and is expected to run until midway through August in conjunction with a performance of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Playing two characters in the hit musical, Fligg will be busy the moment the curtains go up. She plays the role of Vivienne’s best friend and Delta New, a friend of lead character Elle.

“I change in and out of costumes during the shoe,” she said.

But Fligg is not the only Tri-City actor that will be featured in this year’s Theatre Under the Stars performances.

Ryan Purdy will play the role of Benjamin Burton in TUTS’ rendition of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

“There’s not one person who can’t associ-

ate with this show,” he said. “It pokes fun at big business.”

How to Succeed is a comedy written by Frank Loesser, and features several popular musical numbers.

Coquitlam’s Sereana Malani plays Isabella in Measure for Measure at this year’s Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival in Vancouver. She is also cast in Elizabeth Rex.

Malani shows her skills at Bard

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Playing two roles in two separate S h a k e s p e a r e p l ay s would could get confusing for someone not accustomed to the rigours of performing.

But Coquitlam’s Sereana Malani said she has no trouble playing Isabella in the

Bard on the Beach production of Measure for Measure while playing the title character in Elizabeth Rex. “They’re smart about the way they split up… the rehearsal times,” she said. “Rehearsals are six days a week — three days on one show and three days on the other.”

The former

Gleneagle secondary student said the two plays are different in tone and she has no trouble differentiating the roles.

Malani has been a fan of the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival since she saw the Midsummer Night’s Dream performance when she was 16.

“It’s huge,” she said.

A N N U A L

JULY

“ E v e r y s i n g l e d ay — this is what I train to do — but I still have to pinch myself because I’m so lucky that this is my job.”

There will be plenty of Malani’s friends and family in the crowd when the show starts tonight (July 3).

SUMMER

IN THE CITY

Festival of arts, culture & entertainment

Port Moody singer Diane Lines will be joined by several musicians when she takes the stage at the Evergreen Cultural Centre this weekend, including her son, Sam Ellington.

Lines will join son for Jump! continued from page 19

Lines said she’s always been a fan of this era of music, even if it’s not as widely known as rock ‘n’ roll, and enjoys the spirit and energy of the music popularized

by Louis Jordan, The Nat King Cole Trio, Big Joe Turner and Ray Charles among other performers.

Jump! grew out of a collaboration with Tony Chamberlist, who lends percussion and vocals to the production, Lines said, and was developed to show off her special skills and talents as well as her love for the era.

“I used to tour with the Henry Mancini alumni orchestra in a tribute show to him down in the States and the people that produced that show asked me if I would do my own show. I was thinking what I could do and Tony said, ‘you love that jump blues stuff.’”

The show interweaves music such as Caldonia, a jump blues song first recorded in 1945 by Louis Jordan, with stories about the period.

Her son, Sam Ellington, a Scott Creek middle school student and winner of Coquitlam District Music Festival for outstanding male vocalist, may also take a turn in the show portraying little Louis Prima, the American singer, actor and trumpeter. Jump! also features Bill Abbott, Jen Hodge and Tim Porter on saxophone, bass, guitar and vocals.

PoCo player drafted by Edmonton

By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

Garrett James photo

Port Coquitlam hockey player Evan Campbell, seen here with his BCHL team the Langley Rivermen, was selected 128th overall by the Edmonton Oilers during last weekend’s NHL entry draft.

Po r t C o q u i t l a m hockey product Evan Campbell had the quintessential Canada Day weekend: while enjoying a family barbecue on Sunday afternoon he got the call that he had been drafted by the Edmonton Oilers.

“It came as a complete shock to me. I really had no idea this was going to happen and it still hasn’t really sunk in,” said Campbell in a press release issued by his last team, the Langley Rivermen of the British Columbia Hockey League.

The 6’1”, 174-lb leftwinger was selected 128th overall in the fifth round of the National Hockey League entry draft in Newark, N.J., on Sunday. It marked the first time in franchise history that a Rivermen player was drafted into the NHL. Campbell is coming off a career year with Langley’s junior ‘A’ hockey club, putting up 20 goals and

46 assists in 51 games.

Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson said Campbell’s combination of size, speed, grit, and skill is hard to pass up at the NHL level.

“This is something Evan deserves and it is nice to see all the hard work he put into last season pay off,” said Henderson. “Edmonton is an exciting destination for him as they have a lot of good young players on the roster and I believe he will make the most of the opportunity.”

There will be a couple days of reflection for the 20-year-old before he arrives in Edmonton on Wednesday for a week-long development camp. Having studied the Oilers’ team these past few seasons, Campbell is confident Edmonton will be a solid training ground for him.

“I think the Oilers’ franchise is going to be a powerhouse in the league for many years to come,” he said. sports@tricitynews.com

Port Moody teen headed to beach volleyball worlds

By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

This week’s heat wave will help Port Moody’s Kris McCrea acclimatize to the plus 30-degree Celsius temperatures in Porto, Portugal, where he will be competing in the under-19 beach volleyball world championship July 11 to 14.

Wind is something he won’t have to adapt to while volleying in the coastal city of Porto.

McCrea currently trains with Sideout Beach volleyball club based in White Rock, where wind

is an obstacle most days on the court.

It’s a change of scenery for the 18-year-old who took a cue from his sister and started playing indoor volleyball eight years ago.

“I just thought it looked like a lot of fun,” McCrea said. “Everyone was having fun. It wasn’t just a one-man sport, everyone had to contribute.”

A left side player, McCrea captained Dr. Charles Best secondary’s senior boy’s team to a perfect record in the regular season, only to be sidelined with an ankle injury during the district cham-

pionships.

But he is now recovered and back this summer playing beach volleyball, which he was encouraged to pick up to help with his indoor game.

“I like the challenge of it,” says McCrea of beach volleyball. “It’s a lot of different from indoor [volleyball]. There are different rules. There are only two of you.You have to take a lot more room on the court.”

McCrea trains and competes as part of Sideout Beach club’s competitive track. Him

a n d h i s t e a m m at e qualified for the the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) Beach Volleyball U19 World Championships with a backdoor entry of sorts.

“It was kind of lucky,” explains McCrea.

His team placed fourth during the tryouts to represent Canada at the beach volleyball worlds.

Only the two top teams qualify for Portugal; however, the second and third place teams didn’t want to go.

“I couldn’t believe that it was actually happening,” said McCrea when

he got the call. “I’ve never gotten an opportunity like this — to be representing Canada.”

McCrea figures he has stepped up his beach volleyball game after choosing Devon Dunn to play alongside him.

“I think he is more serious about volleyball, and more competitive,” says McCrea.

Effective communication on the court is the key to success, he adds. But it also doesn’t hurt that McCrea stands 6’5”tall. “[My height] helps a lot,”he says. sports@tricitynews.com

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO

Veteran Cloverdale paramedic Will Rogers took part in a 22-km swim to raise money and awareness for Servants Anonymous Society of Surrey.

Rogers swims with a social conscience

By Jennifer Yang Black Press

A paramedic and multiple ironman competitor who trains at Sasamat Lake braved the Georgia Strait’s choppy waters Saturday, swimming 22 kilometres from Tsawwassen to Galiano Island.

Launching off from the ferry terminal at 5:30 a.m., Will Rogers swam across the sea in support of Servants Anonymous Society. He finished about 12 hours later, sometime around 3 p.m. at Galiano Inn and Spa. This is a fifth crossing for Rogers, who has completed a 1,000-km custom triathlon ultra distance campaign in previous summers.

His Million Dollar

Journey is his way of raising money and awareness for Servants Anonymous Society of Surrey (SAS), an organization that supports women and victimized youth who are looking for a way out of the sex trade. Rogers, who is just shy of his 55th birthday, a father of three and grandfather of five, was feeling good in the days prior to the June 28 swim.

“I’m fine. I’ve been doing lots of training — not too much, not too little. I’m pretty confident I can do it in under nine hours this year,” he said.

“The weather looks like it is going to co-operate.”

He trains at Sasamat Lake at Belcarra, where this spring he’s been working his way up to five laps, or 10.5 ilometres.

He was counting on his shoulders getting sore about half way to Galiano. Rogers takes a five-minute food and water break every hour and he gets out of the water completely once every three hours, which works out to twice during the nine-hour swim.

He takes Gravol to combat motion sickness and just keeping warm is a greater concern.

“Last year, I was quite hypothermic when I got out of the water,” he said.

“You’ve just got to plan for that and wear the right equipment.”

Visit www.willrogers. ca for information on how to donate to SAS, or visit www.sasurrey.ca, call 604: 590-2304, or stop by any Bank of Montreal (account #706-8097584).

Coquitlam Little League will host the major division District 3 tournament — for 12-yearold players — from July 6 to 15 at their home field, Mackin Yard.

CLL registrar Kelly Yorko said it’s an incredible advantage for the boys to be able to play in the park they practice at every day.

“It is also a great opportunity to show off our new park facilities — and express to the likes of Whalley, White Rock and Langley what amazing hosts we can be,” added Yorko. The tournament kicks off on July 5 with the opening ceremonies and skills competition at 12:30 p.m.

REDs

The Coquitlam Reds will be back in action on Sunday, July 7, for a doubleheader against the Victoria Eagles at Mackin Park.

The first game gets underway at 11 a.m. before the second matchup, which takes place at 1:30 p.m.
