‘Suspicious’ deaths after fire IHIT looking into cause of death of 2 found in house By Jason Roessle THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Two people are dead and the region’s homicide investigators have been brought in following a house fire early Tuesday in the 1100-block of Cottonwood Avenue in Coquitlam. The blaze broke out shortly after midnight in a home near Como Lake Park. Before Coquitlam firefighters arrived, witnesses saw smoke billowing from the house and entered the house to look for potential victims, only to be overcome by smoke and forced to leave, said Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). The bodies of a man and woman were found by firefighters. Attempts to revive the two were unsuccessful and they were declared dead on scene, Pound said. GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Complaint filed over cop takedown outside PM pub Video on YouTube of Saturday arrest By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A complaint has been launched against the Port Moody Police Department after a video was posted on YouTube of an officer throwing a man to the pavement during an arrest on the weekend. Close to 10,000 people had viewed the clip as of Tuesday morning and

police issued a statement saying the matter had been turned over to the Professional Standards Section for further investigation. The video stems from an arrest that took place outside the Golden Spike Pub shortly after midnight last Saturday. Police were responding to reports that a man, Herbert Ramos, and his girlfriend, Tracey Ferris, were arguing with bar security staff. see DIFFERING, page A8

The race is now on to fill the Coquitlam council seats left vacant this spring by two civic politicians elected to provincial jobs. On Monday, city council voted 4-2 in favour of holding a byelection in October to replace councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson. (BC Liberal Reimer and Robinson, of the NDP, won seats in the ridings of Port Moody-Coquitlam and

GIMME SHELTER PoCo council votes down extension for homeless shelter: pg. A3 Coquitlam-Maillardville respectively in the May 14 provincial election.) For much of the 38-minute debate, council went back and forth between the right of taxpayers to vote and the need to save their dollars. In the end, it came down to Coun. Lou Sekora — who in 1997

prompted a byelection when he quit as mayor to become a Liberal MP — to allow the campaign to proceed. Sekora argued, “Canada is what it is today because of the people who had fought in the war” to defend democracy. see ‘ONE OF THE’, page A6

‘They have killed it,’ says shelter backer PoCo council says ‘No’ to homeless shelter extension By Gary McKenna THe Tri-CiTY News

The Tri-Cities could be without a homeless shelter this winter after Port Coquitlam council rejected an initiative that would have seen a temporary facility operate at a church on Kingsway Avenue. The city approved the shelter last year but after hearing several complaints during a public input opportunity Monday night, council voted against renewing the temporary use permit for the 2013/’14 cold, wet weather season. Residents who spoke at the hearing said there were numerous cases of homeless people doing drugs in the area and loi-

Coun. Brad West (left) voted against an extension for a shelter at Grace Church while Coun. Mike forrest voted for it. tering around the neighbourhood. “This is our home and we have to live with these decisions,” said Christy McDonald, a resident in the area. “We are sick of it.” It was not just residents who were unhappy with the shelter. Business owner Harsimran Pasricha, who with her husband runs Papa Dave’s Pizza on

Kingsway, said she had been threatened when she asked people sitting next to her business to move on. “We have to close early now,” she said. “My husband is afraid to leave me there.” When shelter operators the Hope for Freedom Society initially approached the city about a temporary shelter at Grace Church last

year, they said the facility would only be necessary for two seasons, when the permanent shelter would be built in Coquitlam. But delays in construction of that facility at 3030 Gordon Ave. meant the society was looking for a two-year extension when the matter came before council Monday night. Coun. Brad West, the chair of the smart growth committee who voted in favour of allowing the shelter last summer, put forward the motion to quash renewing the temporary use permit. “I feel embarrassed that I was one of the councillors that voted to allow this,” he said. “I did that with the assurances that these issues would be dealt with.” Coun. Mike Forrest and Mayor Greg Moore voted against West’s motion, saying they preferred to send the pro-

posal back to committee, where some of the issues could be worked out. Forrest told council he believes the city needs to come up with an alternative. Moore also noted H o p e f o r Fr e e d o m Society’s record of success, pointing out that the organization helped 42 people find permanent housing last winter. “We need to look for solutions rather than an outright rejection,” the mayor said. But defeating the temporary use permit application does not keep the Hope for Freedom Society from returning to council with another proposal, West said. He added that he is in favour of returning to the cold/wet weather mat program, which saw the shelter rotate between several churches in the Tri-Cities. Under the previous

model, shelter clients were brought to and from the locations by bus, a move that West said prevented the kind of loitering residents complained about at Grace Church. But society director Rob Thiessen said because of the complexity of the municipal government process, there is not enough time to come up with an alternative. To go back to the cold/ wet weather mat program, he said, would require temporary use permits at multiple churches in three separate municipalities, a feat he does not believe can be completed by October, when the shelter program launches for the winter. “My knee-jerk reaction is they have killed it,” he said after Monday night’s council vote. “It’s disappointing.” A part of the society’s success, he said, comes

from having an emergency shelter. That is often the place where social workers can establish face-to-face contact with homeless people and begin the process of getting them the help they need to get back on their feet. He also disputed claims made by several people who spoke during the public input session that shelter clients were using drugs in the area. “ We a g g r e s s i ve l y looked into it,” he said. “Those were not shelter clients.” Sandy Burpee, chair of the Tri-Cities H om e l e s s n e s s Ta s k Group, said PoCo council’s decision will have ramifications on the rest of the community. “I’m angry,” he said. “This is not a Hope for Freedom Society problem. This is a community problem.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Chemicals, not oil, riskiest cargo on local trains Poisonous gases rolling through neighbourhoods By Jeff Nagel BlACk Press

Authorities are playing down concern over potential for a deadly rail disaster in the Lower Mainland after a runaway train laden with crude oil destroyed much of the Quebec town of Lac Mégantic. Shipping oil by rail has been on the upswing as pressure grows to get landlocked Alberta oil out to global markets. Trainloads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro Vancouver for export but there’s growing speculation that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. (Small amounts of crude have come by truck or train to Chevron’s Burnaby refinery at times when it was unable to get enough supply from the over-subscribed Trans Mountain pipeline.)

An aerial photograph of the busy Cp Rail yard in port Coquitlam. But poisonous or explosive gases do roll on rail through heavily developed Metro neighbourhoods and those are the train cars that are of greatest concern to emergency responders if a train derails. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said one risky substance is propane, which is explosive and heavier than air, so it doesn’t readily dissipate. Other chemicals that move on rail in this region include chlorine,

hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which spilled from CN Rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing half a million fish. Rail disasters are a “low frequency, high risk” threat that emergency responders in the region prepare for, he said. “We haven’t taken it lightly,”Garis said. But he emphasized the rail industry’s safety record moving dangerous goods has steadily improved since a 1979 chlo-

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

rine leak in Mississauga, Ontario forced the evacuation of 218,000 people. That incident triggered major regulatory reforms, including beefedup tanker cars for hazardous goods. “The rail cars that carry commodities that pose risks are designed to roll over, they’re designed to crash into each other end-on-end, so even if they do derail, they’re designed to withstand the consequences of that,”Garis said.

“The track record in recent years is extremely positive.” Garis also noted the volumes of such chemicals moving here are relatively small. Unlike derailments in rugged slide-prone parts of B.C., Garis noted the Lower Mainland is mostly flat and trains move slowly so risks of an accident are reduced. N o r t h Va n c o u ve r energy consultant John Hunter said Lac Mégantic underscores the fact that pipelines are safer than rail transport of oil. He said more should be done to protect area residents from a chemical or hydrocarbon spill from a train along CN line on the North Shore, in close proximity to residents. Hunter suggests a siren to warn residents to take emergency action. “I think it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever have one, but I think we should have a notification system in case something goes wrong.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

PoCo depends on CP The city of Port Coquitlam is confident in CP Rail’s management of dangerous goods rolling through the city and is in regular contact with the rail company on issues, a spokesperson says. And while the city has a general idea of what is being shipped, it doesn’t have specific information on what passes through the city on a daily basis, relying on CP Rail’s expertise. “We count on our collaborative relationship with CP, who are the experts with the knowledge on what is where and when. CP is regulated and monitored by Transport Canada,” the city said in a statement. In an emergency, the city would depend on information it receives from CP Rail and would activate its emergency operation centre with members trained and equipped to respond to hazardous product emergencies. The city was also recently informed of CP Rail’s emergency preparedness program, including its incident response plan. As many as 30,000 feet of containers can pass through the city outbound from the Port of Vancouver on a daily basis and, according to the Railway Association of Canada, most of the products are those used by households and businesses (see related story for more details). A spokesperson for CP Rail said that out of respect to the residents of the Quebec community at the centre of the tragic rail incident and the investigations now under way, CP will not provide comment at this time. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Developers, watch your run-off Coquitlam looks at new rules for sediment, erosion By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Developers, builders and contractors in Coquitlam could soon face stiff fines if large amounts of mud, silt and debris flow from their construction sites. On Monday, council-incommittee reviewed plans for a new bylaw that, if approved, would impose strict rules on property owners regarding erosion controls. The proposed bylaw, which is expected to go before council July 29, comes after consultants last December took the city to task for its lack of erosion- and sediment-control measures despite it having the biggest erosion risk in MetroVancouver. Their report was commissioned last fall after mud and debris from a Burke Mountain construction site ran down Coast Meridian Road and into Watkins Creek, and clogged pipes during a storm; the site was shut down for three weeks in October. The consultants made 22 recommendations to the city, ranging from tougher bylaws to more proactive monitoring, enforcement and customer service.

On Monday, Steffanie Warriner, Coquitlam’s manager of environment services, called for a replacement to the city’s outdated stream, drainage and sediment-control frameworks with a new stream and drainage system protection bylaw. Should it receive fourth reading in September, it would be in place for the next rainy season. For at least three years, as the city grows rapidly, Coquitlam city staff have been fielding a number of complaints — from the public and senior government officials — about poor construction practices, especially on Burke, where the municipality is planning a new community of 20,000 more residents in five distinct neighbourhoods: Upper and Lower Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek, Partington Creek and, soon, Hazel Drive. Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering and public works, said under the proposed erosion control bylaw, developers, builders and contractors would be more accountable and there would be tighter compliance. Among the changes: • the city would assess water quality based on turbidity rather than total suspended solids, allowing real-time run-off measurements rather than sending

samples to the lab; • developers would have to sign off on erosion-control forms before permits are issued and construction starts to acknowledge their understanding of the bylaw; • for larger development sites, a qualified professional would need to be hired to supervise and report potential erosion; • formal pre-construction meetings with city staff would be set up before any building starts to review the new regulations; • and signs would have to be posted at construction sites to notify the public of a 24-hour contact in case of an erosion emergency. To pay for the administrative changes, the committee heard, the city intends to raise fees for builders of single-family/ duplex homes from $75 to $200 while developers of bigger sites would see no levy hike but would have to pay a security deposit of up to $5,000. As well, those breaking the rules could face a $500-per-day, per-violation fine — double the current rate. Legal action would be the last recourse, Susak said. Warriner said the new erosion- and sedimentmanagement strategy is expected to cost $150,000 a year, which would be re-

Nothing but (fast) ’net PoMo connects to Coquitlam’s fibre network By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The Evergreen Line is already creating positive spin-off effects for TriCities residents and businesses even though opening day is still three years away. Port Moody will get enhanced power and fibrebased high-speed internet for new business ventures and developments as a result of infrastructure that’s being installed to build and run the $1.4-billion Burnaby-to-Coquitlam rapid transit line. Thanks to the installation of a 25 kV power line and ducting for services, the city’s aging power infrastructure will be bolstered. As well, both the city and School District 43 will be able to connect to fibre optic for high-speed internet. This means PoMo schools as well as the city’s two fire halls, Kyle Centre and the emergency operations centre in the public safety building — as well as new businesses and developments — will all be able to get access to higher speed internet, says the city’s mayor. “We needed to have that infrastructure,” Mike Clay said.

In the first phase of the fibre project, Port Moody has connected to Coquitlam’s Qnet dark fibre network and will launch high-speed internet at city hall this weekend after a week of testing. Clay said the combination of enhanced power and high-speed internet will make the city more attractive to high tech businesses, and a new office tower in Suter Brook will have the opportunity to connect to fibre, which runs under the parking lot. “We now have the opportunity to say we have 48 strands of fibre, we are

probably using two. If you want to locate in Moody Centre and you want to connect to our fibre, we can carry you off to the junction point,”Clay said. SD43 is also utilizing the opportunity to enhance internet access. Steve Whiffin, the district’s manager of internet services, said through an agreement with the city of Port Moody and Shaw Communications, fibre cabling will be installed along the Evergreen corridor, connecting to Port Moody secondary. Meanwhile, eight hub sites, including five

Coquitlam secondary schools, will have fibrebased high-speed internet running in September as part of an earlier phase of SD43’s private fibre project. Meanwhile, QNet spokesperson Rick Adams said the fibre network is making the Tri-Cities more competitive for businesses requiring high-speed internet access and is a boon for the city of Coquitlam. Coquitlam has already linked Maple Ridge to fibre through its network and is in talks with the city of New Westminster.

‘One of the greatest rights’ continued from front page

Sekora was backed by councillors Brent Asmundson, Terry O’Neill and Neal Nicholson, who was part of campaign last week to encourage residents to sign an online petition to call for a byelection (as of Tuesday morning, it had more than 100 names).

Several familiar names may be on ballot A number of people contacted by The Tri-City News have said they’re considering throwing their hats in the ring for the Coquitlam council byelection, including: • Barrie Lynch, a former city councillor who in 2011 gave up his seat to launch an unsuccessful challenge of Richard Stewart for the mayor’s job; • Doug Macdonell, who lost his council chair by 102 votes in the last election; • Fred Soofi, a resident of Anmore who owns a restaurant in Coquitlam and who placed behind Macdonell two years ago; • Randy Delmonico, the former general manager of the Coquitlam Senior Adanacs lacrosse team who also was a council candidate in 2011; • Jack Trumley, chair of the Coquitlam Public Library board, who has run for civic office; • Ben Craig, president of the Oakdale Neighbourhood Association; • and Chris Wilson, executive director of KidSport and former Olympic wrestler who lost to BC Liberal MLA Doug Horne in the May provincial election. In previous byelections, the candidates who secured an endorsement from CUPE, the union that represents civic workers, tended to win. For the 2007 and ’10 byelections to replace Louella Hollington and Fin Donnelly respectively, union-backed candidate Neal Nicholson took the highest number of ballots in both races. Monday’s decision by council was watched closely by union officials, including Ken Landgraff, president of CUPE Local 386, which represents Coquitlam city staff. Landgraff was not available for comment by The Tri-City News’ print deadline. jwarren@tricitynews.com

“Voting is one of the greatest rights we have,” Asmundson said, urging residents to “do their due diligence” by vote given that byelections typically see 5% turnouts. Coun. Mae Reid, however, contended she would like to see the $150,000 not used for a byelection be put towards social programs such as

the food bank or the animal shelter. Mayor Richard Stewart said he worries the new incumbents will have less than a year to catch up before the next general election. And he has lobbied the provincial government to change the rules around byelections, permitting municipalities to “promote” the

first-place loser of the previous campaign. In this case, it would have been Doug Macdonell, who supported Stewart for mayor. City clerk Jay Gilbert said a staff report will go before council on July 29 to set the byelection date and appoint a chief election officer. jwarren@tricitynews.com

IDs of victims not yet released continued from front page

An autopsy will be done to determine what killed them but IHIT is calling the deaths “suspicious.” “Further examination and scene processing

will take place throughout the day today [July 9] in order to answer some of the questions that investigators have in the initial stages,” said Pound. “Although the identity of the man and woman will have to be

confirmed during autopsy, investigators believe we know who they are and we are in the process of locating and notifying family members.” Identities will be released once family has

been notified, and an IHIT press release says cause of death might be released following the autopsy. The property had recently been sold and a daycare was run from the home.

Differing accounts of what led to arrests hear my own thud and I was out,” he said, adding that he suffered soft-tissue damage during the arrest. On Monday, the couple filed a formal complain with the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner. Cheryl Semenuik, a managing partner with the Golden Spike Pub, said she believed police acted appropriately. She told The Tri-City News that both Ferris and Ramos had been acting belligerently toward staff and even tried to physically harm a security guard at the bar. “The two of them were escorted out front and they were yelling and swearing and making a big scene,” she said. “They were being very disruptive.” Semenuik said at

“Despite multiple warnings, the male was uncooperative during the arrest and was subsequently taken to the ground,” PMPD Const. Luke van Winkel said in a press release. “Both parties were arrested and taken to cells, where they were released when sober.” Because the incident is under review, police said they would not be commenting further. But Devin Shepherd, a friend of Ramos and the man that shot the video, said the officer in the clip did not give any warning before throwing Ramos to the ground. “The officer showed up and wasn’t interested in resolving anything,” he said. “It was just unnecessary force.” Shepherd said he and the couple were celebrating a friend’s birthday at the pub when Ferris got into an argument with bar staff for refusing to show her identification after she paid the bill. As the couple were leaving the pub, police showed up and Shepherd began filming. He later posted the clip to Facebook before a friend of his took the video and uploaded it toYouTube. Ramos, who works for CTV News, told the television station that police never bothered to speak to him before taking him to the ground. “I fall over and I could

one point, the pair told the bouncers that they worked in media and flashed their credentials, threatening that the staff involved would lose their jobs. When the couple refused to leave the property, Semenuik had a staff member phone police. “The door man didn’t have to point out [to police] who they were,” she said. “They were still standing there yelling when police arrived.” She also disputed Shepherd’s assertions that officers did not give any warning before throwing Ramos to the ground. Semenuik said that officers attempted to speak with Ramos several times before he was thrown on the pavement. gmckenna@tricitynews.com – with files from CTV News

Fox and PoCo

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

t’s good news that Port Coquitlam hometown hero and Canadian icon Terry Fox will be honoured with an exhibit at Canada’s new Canadian Museum of History, now undergoing renovation and rebranding near Ottawa. When it is complete in 2015, the museum will celebrate 150 years of confederation, including Fox’s worldfamous Marathon of Hope undertaken in 1980, and it’s fitting his memorable run should be honoured with an exhibit featuring important items associated with the curly-haired runner with the distinctive hop-footed gait. Some items recently unveiled at a press conference include his Companion of the Order of Canada medal and letters he received from Canadian children. This memorabilia will also be part of a traveling exhibition made available to all Canadians, the public has learned. This museum exhibit will show how important Fox is to Canadians, who continue to support his efforts for cancer research. It will give them access to items that recall his determination and his vision, and provide members of the public an opportunity to more thoroughly relate to his experience and the goals that he set about attaining. Sharing Fox with the rest of the country is the least Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Port Moody residents can do if it will help his cause. But along with relief that important items connected with Fox are being taken care of and properly displayed is a sense of disappointment that more can’t be done here in the Tri-Cities, where he grew up, went to school and trained for his marathon. Other than some important buildings, statues and his burial site, there is little that remains of Fox’s personal possessions, at least none that have the kind of distinct recognition that might be touchstones for people visiting or living here. Still, while there might not be a museum dedicated to Fox in Port Coquitlam, his presence is still strongly felt — recognized in historical photos and video, and in the wildly successful Terry Fox Runs and school runs that occur every September that are a testament to his goals and values.

Zap! Get ready for BC Hydro rate hikes BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA here’s a new sheriff in town for BC Hydro and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume. The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on BC Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s“core review”to cut $50 million a year from government operations. NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest BC Hydro troubles in his assault on the BC Liberal budget. First there was a $140-million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut

and adjacent mine properties. Then BC Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness.“Condition Red”was the key message. Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake. Horgan recited his list of BC Hydro sins after a decade of meddling by the BC Liberals: huge deferred debt revealed by the auditor general, enormous liabilities for private power contracts and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now Hydro can’t even keep us safe from the big one. Bennett fired back. About $2 billion of that debt is for seismic upgrades for the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam in Maple Ridge and the equally frail John Hart Dam on the Campbell River, built with wooden water pipes. Major BC Hydro works slowed down after completion of Revelstoke and Mica dams in the 1980s, and

TRI-CITY nEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATIon 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

now the work is more expensive. The Northwest Transmission Line is a partnership with Imperial Metals, which wants to power its Red Chris copper/gold/silver mine. Bennett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site but pitching in for the main line as well. Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of dependence on diesel generators. AltaGas, owner of one of those private power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities. The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of high-skill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before natural gas pipelines and LNG plants gear up. Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put BC Hydro through the wringer in 2011. Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and

John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to 7% to help slow the ballooning debt. What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32% in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5% is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion. Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases — the government’s increasing dependence on taking a“dividend”as BC Hydro’s lone“shareholder.” The newly updated budget tells us this annual“dividend”is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

TRI-CITY LETTERS

Referendum is the way to go on transit funding The Editor, Re. “Mayors oppose referendum” (The Tri-City News, July 3). I think a referendum is exactly what the people of the Lower Mainland need to finally come to a resolution on how to fund the woefully inadequate transit system. R i c h m o n d M ayo r Malcolm Brodie said he thinks a referendum is a recipe for disaster and the issue is too complex to be left to voters. What an insult to the voters. Does he think we are stupid? TransLink and the mayors have been no great shakes at solving this issue. Let those of us who are going to be footing the bill have a say. Why should the public have any number of possible increases/taxes foisted on them without consultation? The mayors think there will be a knee-jerk reaction and people will vote No. What do they expect?

VOTE FOR TAXES

The Editor, Congratulations to new Transportation Minister Todd Stone for rejecting the TransLink mayors’ council’s bid to cancel the upcoming transit referendum. R i c h m o n d M ayo r Malcolm Brodie said, the issue is too complex to be left to the voters. How infuriating. Although I respect most of the mayors, they have proved they are unable to work together time and time again. Property owners, drivers, transit users and business people all deserve an opportunity to express how they want to pay for major projects. I believe property taxes are the best way to spread the cost evenly to everyone and I want that choice. Glenn Rickard, Coquitlam

SAR uses long line to save stranded jogger By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy News

A South African man visiting his parents in Coquitlam had to be rescued by helicopter Sunday after going out for a jog the previous day and getting lost. According to Coquitlam Search and Rescue manager Al Hurley, Yashar Ke ra m at i ’ s p a r e n t s called Mounties after he didn’t return Saturday night. The parents live across the street from Goat Trail. “He didn’t know the mountain and was just wearing running gear,” said Hurley. He initially sent search teams up to the Munro Lake area but after two hours couldn’t find the 27-year-old. At first light, a helicopter from North Shore Search and Rescue resumed the search and quickly located the man,

Explosion sends one to hospital By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody police are blaming poorly stored industrial fuels for a blast that tore the roof off a van and sent a woman to hospital last Friday afternoon. The incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m. at the McDonalds on St. Johns Street — next to the police station — and the blast could be felt blocks away. Firefighters cordoned off the area and several residents were asked to evacuate their homes while the incident was investigated. Police later described the explosion as an “industrial accident” due to the “unsafe storage of fuel.” On Tuesday, Port Moody Const. Luke van Winkel said the woman had been released from

Investigators and firefighters stand in front of a van that blew up last Friday in the parking lot of the McDonalds on St. Johns Street in Port Moody. hospital and police were still investigating. He said it was too soon to say whether there would be any charges stemming from the incident. Ellecia Hobbis, who works nearby, told The Tri-City News she heard a bang and thought a delivery truck had crashed into a store awning. “Then we saw people running from the car with

its roof blown off and into the McDonalds,” she said. “We saw a white, sort of, painter van with the roof blown off and curled over and flames coming from it. There was lots of smoke.” Darryl McDougall, who owns the McDonalds restaurant, said none of his employees were injured in the explosion. Police in-

terviewed several of the workers in an effort to determine how long the vehicle had been parked in the lot. McDougall added that he had provided police with surveillance footage of the lot. “We have good video systems and whenever the police need them, we provide them,”he said. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Featuring a stylized speedometer, Disu’s ad illustrates the link between increased speed and danger. Disu’s ad was selected for the Reeve Street bus shelter as a component of the city’s road safety efforts, which have recently included partnerships with ICBC and the RCMP on a pedestrian safety blitz, traffic safety education program at Central elementary, and speed reader boards.

Shining the light at Pixar Studios By Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

rowing up in Coquitlam and Burnaby, Farhez Rayani loved to combine art with computer graphics. After graduating from Burnaby North secondary, Rayani studied computer science at Simon Fraser University but later transferred to Emily Carr University of Art + Design to get his bachelor of fine arts. Then, he said, there was no formal training in Canada to pursue the field he wanted to be in. But, in 1995, he saw the vision of his career unfold before his eyes when he watched the animated movie Toy Story. “I knew right away that this was doing the sorts of things that I loved to do,”he said. Rayani worked around the world in the industry and, less than decade later, he was a still photographer on a short drama called Yellow Bird and the visual effects technical director for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (both released in 2005). That got the ball rolling for the lighting wizard who, in subsequent years, was involved in visual effects for The Wild, Superman Returns, Happy Feet, The Golden Compass, The Incredible Hulk and Aliens in the Attic. Five years ago, Rayani landed his dream job as lighting technical director with Pixar Animation Studios, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company. He was part of lighting Up, Toy Story 3, Mater’s Tall Tales, Cars 2, La Luna and Brave. And last month, Rayani saw the release of the short The Blue Umbrella that preceded the mega-hit Monsters University. For both films, Rayani helped to

SWAN-E-SET BAY RESORT & COUNTRY CLUB

introduce a new technology for Pixar called Global Illumination, which for The Blue Umbrella gave it a “magic” photo-realistic look and, with Monsters U., provided a more stylized visual. Rayani said he’s especially proud of his “eight months of intense work” on The Blue Umbrella, a 6.5-minute film that took about 100 people two years to make. The short is set in a rainy city and follows the journey of a blue umbrella that gets lost. As the lighting lead, his job was to evoke the mood — in 3D animation — of the blustery night where the sidewalks are full of pedestrians holding black umbrellas. The lighting “is the thing that has the most impact in terms of look from before and after,” he said. As well, with the new software, “a lot of people thought we shot that [with cameras] then animated on top of that but it was completely virtual.” For Monsters U. — a prequel to Monsters Inc. that features the voices of Billy Crystal (Mike) and John Goodman (Sullivan) — Rayani said the sophisticated technology makes the look “very, very different” from the original flick. He worked with the tech team for almost two years to bring the Global Illumination software up to speed then teach it to the Pixar crew. Currently, Rayani is working on a 30-minute movie special called Toy Story of Terror that includes the same characters as Toy Story (Woody, Buzz Lightyear, etc.) but has an independent narrative. Rayani said his Hollywood success is because of his early learning years at the Port Coquitlam schools Viscount Alexander elementary and Hastings junior secondary. “I knew what I wanted to do even at elementary school,” he said, crediting his teachers who piqued his interest in the arts. jwarren@tricitynews.com

For 5enses’ new exhibit in Coquitlam, the five artists want you to stand back and let the instruments play in your mind. Their abstract pieces that were composed specifically for their Place des Arts show represent wild colours and designs that are meant to stir the soul, said Mena Martini who is part of the group also made up of Lori Bagneres, Catherine Fields, Therese Joseph and Sara Morison. The artists got the idea for their latest display, titled From Sound to Silence, from studying philosophers, musicians and painters, among others. Plato, said Martini, was the first person in Western civilization to speak about the link between sound and sight. He used words like “tone” and “harmony” to describe visual art. Beethoven, who was deaf in his later years, also exposed the relationship between his music and the senses. When he wrote in D-major, he called it the orange key while B-minor was the black key. And even his

Author has a ‘nose’ for writing By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

KEN HEWLETT

Port Moody’s Glynis Whiting published her first book, A Nose for Death, in April. She is available for book club readings.

For Port Moody author Glynis Whiting, the art of storytelling came easily for her first book. As a writer, director and producer of documentary films for two decades, Whiting used her skills for structuring a narrative — with a strong start, middle and end, plus causal action and character arcs — to build her murder-mystery plot for A Nose for Death. “It was actually quite a natural process for me to go in and write a novel,” said Whiting, who has a master’s degree in playwriting. Research is a key component to Whiting’s method. In 2005, she started digging around for A Nose for Death and exploring the characters. “In making a documentary film, one of the things I love about that is you get to go and meet fascinating people all the time so it was just a shift in meeting fascinating people to making up interesting ones,”she said.

Vancouver and in her native Alberta (Athabasca, AB, is the town that is the physical map for Madden). Locally, she has talked about her writing and done readings and book signings at PechaKucha Night, Volume 10, in Coquitlam and at ArtWalk in Port Moody as well as at book clubs. Next month, she returns to Alberta and will be in the Okanagan in October. Whiting said she’s happy with the response. “I’m pleased that people are enjoying the humour. A lot of people seem to relate to Joan, at her age. And people are able to relate to the reunion theme,”she said. As for her next novel, Whiting will stick with her Nosey Parker Mystery series, with the plot set on Pender Island and later at a distillery conference in Edinburgh, Scotland. Whiting anticipates to finish the final draft in the next year or so. • Signed copies of A Nose for Death are now available at Chapters in Pinetree Village (2991 Lougheed Hwy., Coquitlam).

Her protagonist in A Nose for Death is Dr. Joan Parker, a chemist who has a keen sense of smell and has won awards for food flavour and aroma design. Parker is asked by her employer to take a break and, during the leave, she reluctantly heads up to her hometown of Madden, B.C. for a school reunion. There, she not only reunites with friends she hasn’t seen in years but also becomes a prime murder suspect in the sudden death of the graduation class’ rock star. Whiting said she embarked on the genre of murder-mystery because “CanLit is my steak and potatoes and murder-mysteries are my dark chocolate. There are no calories in them.” Murder-mystery readers, she contends, are people who like puzzles: the scripts require organizational techniques, are full of intrigue and are always followed with a resolution. It gives the reader a sense of accomplishment by coming full-circle. Since it was published in April by Thistledown Press, Whiting has been busy promoting her book around Metro

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are getting ready for the playoffs after finishing the regular season in first place in the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League. Coquitlam defeated the Delta Islanders 16-11 on Saturday night.

Win helps Jr. Adanacs hang on to first place Team begins preparations for the post-seaosn By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs will head in to the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League post season as the top team in the league, after defeating the Delta Islanders Saturday night. Coming off a loss Friday night in a first-

place showdown with the New Westminster Salmonbellies, the A’s needed the win to hang on to top spot in the league. It only took the Coquitlam club 45 seconds to get on the board in the must-win match, when Matt Delmonico put the ball past Islanders net minder David Mather. Two goals from Wesley Berg and a power play marker from Jordan Gilles was enough to chase Mather, who was replaced by Delta backup

Ryley Brown 10 minutes into the opening period. Brown did not fair much better, as the Adanacs kept up the attack, shovelling four goals into the net before the first period came to an end. In the second period, Delta was able to close the gap, scoring three unanswered tallies, while Coquitlam’s scorers struggled to find the net. However, the offensive continued in the final period, with two goals

from Reid Reinholdt, Delmonico, Vincent Ricci, Tyler Garrison and Tyler Pace, winning the match 16-11. Adanacs goalie Peter Dubenski stopped 23 of the 34 shots he faced in the game, while Berg and Delmonico both had hat tricks in the match. Reinholdt was the scoring leader in the game, notching two goals and seven assists for nine points.

Revolutionary play helps club net bronze Jeff Nagel BlaCk Press

After finishing the regular season in ninth place, the Coquitlam MetroFo r d R e v o l u t i o n were not expected to go far at the B.C. S o c c e r u n d e r- 1 3 boys provincials last weekend. H o w e v e r, a f t e r notching several wins in early roundrobin play the team managed to make its

way to the bronze medal game, where the club defeated the Kamloops Blaze 3-2. The tournament started with a game against league rivals the West Coast FC Selects, who the Revolution lost to last month during the Coastal Cup finals. Coquitlam played a strong defensive match in the opener, holding the club to 0-0, with the shut-

out being shared by Revolution goalies Dylan Sadrove and Daniel Chernetski. In the bronze medal match, both teams exchanged goals, eventually playing to a 2-2 tie against the Kamloops Blaze. After two scoreless ove r t i m e p e r i o d s , Coquitlam won the bronze after netting a tally on a penalty kick. sports@tricitynews.com

Sr. A’s can’t snare a win against Victoria The Tri-CiTy News

Wins are not coming easy for the Coquitlam Adanacs, whose latest defeat came at the hands of the Victoria Shamrocks at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex last weekend. Less than a week after a major shakeup that sent three players to the Langley Thunder, the team is still trying to find its way with the addition of Brandon Goodwin and Matthew MacGrotty. Goodwin notched four assists in his first match with the senior Adanacs, who are now 4-7-1 on the season. Victoria wasted little

time establishing a lead on Saturday, putting t h r e e goals on the board Veltman before the end of the opening frame. Goodwin managed to setup Mark Negrin for goal to to make it 3-1 before the first intermission. But the Shamrocks were undeterred. The visitors kept up the offensive pressure in the second, scoring two early, including a power play marker from Jeff Shattler. Coquitlam seemed to get its bearings later in the middle frame, with

two goals f r o m D a r y l Veltman and singles from R y a n Keith, Jeff Goodwin Sproule and Jesse Guerin. Veltman managed to complete the hat trick in the third, but it was not enough to give Coquitlam a lead and the team fell 13-9 when the final buzzer sounded. The team will take on the Burnaby Lakers on Friday at the Bill Copeland Arena before returning home on Saturday night to take on Maple Ridge at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The game starts at 7 p.m.

But if the Adanacs hope to go far in the post-season, they will have to find a way to defeat BCJALL second-place finishers the New Westminster Salmonbellies. On Friday, Coquitlam lost a back-and-forth affair against the visiting Bellies, in a tightly played game that remained close until the dying minutes of the third. Delmonico opened the scoring for the A’s, followed by two goals from Steven Neufeld and a single from Reinholdt to finish the first period 4-4. Neufeld potted two more in the second, along with a goal from Reinholdt, but the Adanacs could not put any distance between

them and the Bellies, with both teams tied 7-7 going into the third. Chase McIntyre scored for Coquitlam in the third period along with Vincent Ricci and Wesley Berg, but four
