Pt. Moody cops sued over bust
What is that and where’s it going?
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A man who was thrown to the pavement by a Port Moody police officer in an incident that was captured on camera and later uploaded to YouTube is launching a lawsuit. In a notice of civil claim, plaintiff Herbert Ramos alleges he was assaulted by officer Ian Morrison and that the city of Port Moody is liable for its employee’s actions. C o n s t . L u ke va n Winkel, Chief Const.
Chris Rattenbury and Golden Spike Pub managing partner Cheryl Semenuik are also named in the lawsuit for allegedly defaming Ramos and his girlfriend, Tracey Ferris, by issuing what the suit claims are false reports to the media. None of the allegations levelled in a notice of civil claim filed this week have been proven in court and the defendants named in the lawsuit have not formally responded. see RAMOS, page 9
Spray considered for invasive plant By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Environmental stewards, First Nations, port authority officials and other groups will be meeting tomorrow (Thursday) to talk about a long-term plan that could include spraying of herbicides to eradicate an invasive species that is threatening salt marshes in Port Moody. Rob Knight, who is helping to document and control three different species of spartina patens in B.C., said the discussion will be around ways to control the plant that has been growing in Port Moody inlet.

Deaths in fire deemed due to murder/suicide By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A house fire in Coquitlam that took the lives of two people last week is being called a murder/suicide by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Investigators say they believe Benyoucef Assen killed his wife Agnes Assen before setting fire to the home. Police said the evidence suggests that he died in the sub-
sequent blaze. “The findings of this investigation are tragic and weigh heavy on the family,” IHIT spokesperson Jennifer Pound said in a press release. “To protect the privacy and well-being of the family and friends, no further information will be released.” Residents of the Coquitlam neighbourhood were in shock last week after a blaze broke out at the home,
on Cottonwood Avenue near Como Lake Park. The two bodies were found by firefighters and attempts to revive them were unsuccessful. They were pronounced dead at the scene. The property was home to a daycare facility and had been recently sold. According to CTV News, neighbours reported hearing a scream and a loud bang before the fire broke out. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

From PoCo to Oregon to Alberta for evaporators Barges used to transport gear to Alberta oil sands By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
By now, the two giant evaporators fabricated at Port Coquitlam’s Ellett Industries should be slowly making their way by water to Portland. Early Sunday morning, the stainless steel cylinders that look like rockets — each measuring 126 ft. long, 20 ft. in diameter and weighing 309,000 lb. — were trucked from the Kingsway Avenue plant, down Coast Meridian Road and placed on barges bound for Oregon. Although headed for the Athabasca oil sands in Fort McMurray, the devices were “too big, too heavy and too wide” to be transported along B.C. roads, said Bob Gill, Ellett’s vice-president of sales. As a result, the evaporators are making a 20-day journey down the coast and up the Columbia River to Snake

ing operations. The move of the heavy cargo — a project that took 20,000 man-hours over 16 months to make — may be one of the biggest in western Canada into international waters; however, it’s nothing new for the familyowned company. About 20 years ago, Ellett was
the first Canadian firm to ship pressure vessels into China. Besides evaporators and pressure vessels, Ellett also produces heat exchanger and pipe spooling, using metals such as stainless steel, high nickel alloys, titanium and zirconium. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Kruger a cover girl
A 20-year-old Coquitlam woman and BC Wheelchair rugby player has snapped up the title for the Lise Watier Something Sweet contest, making her one of the world’s first quadriplegic models. Jessica Kruger, who was featured last month on the front page of The Tri-City News, was announced last Thursday as the brand ambassador of the Watier perfume line. An English literature student at SFU, Kruger became a quadriplegic in a workplace accident at 15. She was up against more than 400 contestants in Watier’s first round of the competition, and was one of five top finalists in a photo shoot in Montreal last week. “Hopefully, other girls and women with disabilities who are going through a similar journey will recognize that disability does not rob you of being beautiful nor does it take away from the person that you truly are,” Kruger said in a press release. “The fact that Lise Watier is embracing me — all of me — in this pursuit is truly unbelievable. “This Canadian cosmetic company is showing the world that different can be beautiful.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Coq. and NS searchers rescue man By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy News
A 28-year-old man had to be rescued via helicopter after falling at Granite Falls in Indian Arm on Sunday afternoon. Coquitlam Search and Rescue was called out for the incident but once on scene, the victim’s location made walking him out on a backboard too treacherous. North Shore Search and Rescue was called for the second time in two weeks to
Coquitlam’s area to conduct a long-line rescue. The man was lowered into a nearby Coast Guard hovercraft for transport to hospital. According to Coquitlam SAR manager Michael Coyle, the man likely suffered broken ankles and potential spinal damage. “This was the kind of thing that long line is perfect for,” he said, given with spinal precautions, moving the man by zodiac would have been too jarring. Granite Falls is known as a “party place,” said Coyle, who noted many people boat out to the area.
In addition to Coquitlam and North Shore searchers, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue team from the Indian Arm station and a Coast Guard vessel from Deep Cove participated in the rescue.
The previous weekend, a South African man visiting his parents in Coquitlam had to be rescued by helicopter after going out for a jog the previous day and getting lost. North Shore Search and Rescue located
the man, stranded on a narrow ledge overlooking a 200-foot drop, on the south side of Burke Mountain. SAR volunteers then used a helicopter long-line rescue technique to extricate the man.

Covering plants to be tried first continued from front page
The hay-like grass found at Reed Point Marina, the Flavelle cedar mill and Pacific Coast Terminals isn’t out of control like the more invasive spartina anglica in Boundary Bay but it could pose problems if it pushes out native species, warned Knight. “It almost looks like it belongs there, it lives with other salt marsh plants,” Knight said. “Unless you know what you’re looking for and read about it in other jurisdictions, you wouldn’t know.”
FIRST STEP
Special material placed on the grass at Reed Point Marina seems to be working to kill the plant but if it’s not successful in deterring the invasive species, other methods of control, such as herbicides, may have to be used. “That is our preferred method of treatment,” he said.“You cover one or two years, it’s shaded out and once it dies back, you reintroduce the native species.” He is organizing the meeting Thursday to talk about the problem and gauge people’s opinions on the possible use of the herbicides Habitat and Rodeo and the surfactant Ag-Surf II to eradicate the
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Volunteers place flags to map spartina anglica, an invasive species of cord grass that causes extensive damage to natural salt marsh ecosystems. It has been spreading in areas of Boundary Bay. In Burrard Inlet off Port Moody, spartina patens is a problem but it doesn’t spread as fast and covering the hay-like grass with fabric to block the light and prevent growth seems to be working. grass if the shade cover or other mechanical means don’t work. Knight said there are no plans to use the herbicides this year and it may not be necessary to use them in the future but the option needs to be explored to prevent a monoculture of spartina grass, which could result in a loss of bird and fish habitat. Port Moody council is also not against the use of herbicides if they are used as a last resort and it can be proven that they would be successful.
APPLICATION
But the Sierra Club
of Canada is opposed to the use of glyphosate, the main ingredient in Rodeo and Roundup, because of possible health affects with continuous use in the agricultural industry and impacts on beneficial insects. But Knight said the herbicides have already been used successfully to eradicate spartina in Washington and his working group’s review of 40 studies has concluded that these chemicals don’t accumulate in the estuarine environment and would be used in such low concentration that they wouldn’t be toxic to
aquatic life. “We’re confident and the federal and provincial authorities are confident there will be no side effects that we can detect,” he said, although permits are still required before any spraying plan could be undertaken. Knight, a retired Ministry of Environment employee who has been working on the spartina working group since
2004, said the main area of concern is Boundary Bay, where a more aggressive plant, the spartina anglica, is threatening the food source for migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway. The plant’s spread has been exponential in the last two years, from 2,000 plants to about 10,000 and the danger is these grasses will cover the mudflats and prevent birds from feeding on invertebrates, crustaceans and a mucus film that is rich in protein, he said. “In these areas, using herbicides is a much more likely measure of control. That’s something that happens with invasive plants, at some point there’s an explosion. We’re right on the edge of losing ground. We can’t handle it by mechanical control,”he said. Other areas of concern are Maplewood Flats bird conservation area in North Vancouver, where spartina patens is spreading, and the Courtenay/ Comox area, where spartina densiflora could affect aquaculture. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

107 weapons turned in by local residents By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Ninety-one weapons and more than 200 lb. of ammunition were turned into the Coquitlam RCMP last month as part of a province-wide gun amnesty program. Everything from starter pistols and pellet guns to sawed-off shotguns and rifles were collected by Coquitlam cops, a small percentage of the 1,801 weapons and 30,700 rounds of ammunition turned in across British Columbia. “Most of them will be sent for destruction,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “Some of them will be used for education and training purposes.” During the June amnesty, anyone with a weapon in their position was able to turn it over to police without facing legal penalties or charges. Most of the guns collected by the RCMP were hunting rifles, although one sawed-off shotgun, which is illegal to possess, was also taken off the streets. “You turn something in like this and it is no questions asked,” Chung

said. “Now [with the amnesty over], this would be a prohibited firearm.” He added that all weapons are checked against police records in order to ensure they were not used in the commission of a crime. Weapons that are found to have been used for illegal purposes are kept as evidence. Philip Brooks was one Port Coquitlam resident who took advantage of the amnesty program. He had an old Arrieta 557 shotgun that his father gave him when he turned 21. Today, Brooks is 60 and said he hasn’t shot skeet since his dad passed away. When officers came to his home to collect the gun, “they couldn’t even open it,” he said. “When he eventually opened it up, it literally had cobwebs in it.” Brooks said the program is a great opportunity to hand over weapons in a safe and responsible manner. The last gun amnesty took place in 2006 and he believes police should offer more opportunities for people to turn in their weapons. Chung said that under certain circumstances, officers will consider al-

lowing residents to hand a gun or ammunition to police during periods when the amnesty is not taking place . “It is on a case-bycase basis,” he said. “It depends on what type of firearms and a person’s background.” Those with weapons collecting dust in their basement should find a way to get rid of them, he added, saying, “If there was a break-in at your house, you don’t want these things to end up in the wrong hands.” M e a n w h i l e , Po r t Moody police Const. Luke van Winkel told The Tri-City News that 16 weapons of various makes and models were turned in and police collected ammunition from 10 PoMo residents. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Bylaw change nixes use of crossbows

City of Coquitlam
Road & Utility Improvements Please use alternate routes to avoid delays.
By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A legal loophole allowing the discharge of crossbows on private property and some public lands in Port Coquitlam is on its way to being closed after council voted last week to make changes to its firearms prohibition bylaw. Currently, the city bylaw prohibits the use of spring guns in the municipality but crossbows do not fall under that category.That means the discharge of crossbows is allowed everywhere except city parks, according to a staff report. The bylaw changes came before council in May but there were some concerns that language in the document would prohibit the discharge of air cannons in agricultural areas. Council also worried that private indoor shooting facilities would be affected by the amendments to the firearms regulations.

Bows and arrows became an issue last year locally after someone in Coquitlam wounded a bear with an arrow. But that is not the case, according to city staff, who noted air cannons are not covered because they do not discharge a projectile. Licensed shooting ranges, the report noted, are also exempt from the prohibitions. Under the new bylaw, farmers would still be allowed to fire a gun if they are protecting livestock under the provincial
Livestock Act and bows and arrows could still be fired on private property. Arrow-shooting weapons were an issue last summer after someone in Coquitlam’s northeast area wounded a bear with an arrow. PoCo staff noted in their report that changes to the city’s firearms regulations were not in response to that bear hunting incident. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Ramos suffered concussion continued from front page
The claim stems from an incident at the Golden Spike Pub on July 6, when Ferris and Ramos attended a birthday party at the bar. The pair had been at the bar for nearly six hours when, upon leaving the establishment, security staff began to crowd Ferris, demanding to see her identification. When she refused, a verbal altercation ensued, the notice of civil claim states. Ramos, who is a cameraman for CTV News, noticed the dispute and when he came to the aid of Ferris, he was restrained and removed from the pub. Police were eventually called and the notice of claim states that “within 15 seconds of the arrival of members, the defendant Ian Morrison grabbed Mr. Ramos from behind by the neck and threw him violently b a c k wa rds wi tho ut warning onto the paved surface of the parking lot. “The back of Mr.
YOUTUBE
A screen capture from a video showing a Port Moody Police takedown of a man outside the Golden Spike Pub. Ramos’ head struck the ground and he was knocked unconscious,” the document adds. “The defendant Ian Morrison crouched his weight on Mr. Ramos chest and choked Mr. Ramos, cutting of Mr. Ramos’ airway, and stated in menacing tone, ‘You will do exactly what you’re told.’ At that time, Mr. Ramos’ body was still and unconscious.’” The notice of civil claim stated that Ramos was not a threat to anyone and was not interfering with the work being
conducted by police. He suffered a concussion, blurred vision, memory loss, headaches, loss of sleep and a reduced range of motion, according to the document. Ramos and Ferris allege that Golden Spike staff provided false information to the police and that they were arrested based on that false information. Van Winkel, the Port Moody police department’s media liaison, was also named in the lawsuit for statements he issued to reporters say-
ing that Ramos had been warned prior to being thrown on the ground. “The media release was extensively republished and the plaintiffs’ reputations were damaged by the publication and republication of the contents of the media release,” said the document. “The media release is malicious and it is dishonest.” Semenuik is included in the notice of civil claim for statements she made to police and the media in the days following the incident at her bar. L a s t we e k , b o t h Ramos and Ferris filed a formal complaint with the office of the police complaint commissioner about the incident, which has been viewed more than 16,000 times on YouTube. The plaintiffs are seeking general and special damages, costs and all other “relief that may be just and fair.” Semenuik did not return calls by The Tri-City News’ deadline and no statements of defence have been filed.

It’s all downhill B
PICTURE THIS adrian raeside
etter late than never is one way of viewing Coquitlam’s proposed regulations to prevent erosion during high rainfall events on new development projects in the city. When a terrific deluge sent buckets of silt down Burke Mountain last fall, city officials were surprised that such a thing could happen given the city’s strict regulations on erosion control. At the time, a member of the Hyde Creek Watershed Society expressed horror as mud and water overflowed ditches and spilled onto creeks. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” Shane Peachman said at the time, as the city and the contractor rushed to fix the damage over that October weekend. The project was shut down until the mess could be cleaned up and the city was forced to take stock of its erosion control measures. It turns out, though, that the bylaw wasn’t nearly strict enough and fines were so piddling as to not be any deterrent at all. Coquitlam hired a consultant that was critical of the city for having outdated regulations when it has the highest risk for erosion in Metro Vancouver. Now, Coquitlam is proposing an entirely new bylaw that while adding some cost to new projects will go some way to educating developers about the problems and their responsibilities in controlling run off. Chastened by the consultant’s damning report, the city is doubling its fines to $500 from $250 (possibly not nearly high enough), and requiring developers to show a degree of knowledge about the subject before they’re allowed to cut down trees and dig up dirt. This is a good idea because, as Burke Mountain becomes increasingly the focus of development with new neighbourhoods coming on stream, there will be no excuse for not knowing how to prevent mud from pouring off development sites, down streets and into storm drains. While larger developers already know the rules, and indeed have personnel employed to deal with erosion, smaller developers new to the area will no longer have ignorance as an excuse. While administering these new rules will cost a bit more money, it’s the price that has to be paid for building on a mountain.
Empty seats for post-modern political theatre BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA remier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow BC Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in WestsideKelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding”for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year at the Union of BC Municipalities convention to present their demands to the provincial government.
P
Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is“only one taxpayer”supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by“more government funding”is now so ingrained in our education system that it seems inescapable. One of the NDP’s big“gotcha”items last

week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed“Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax”is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheel-
chairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

TRI-CITY leTTeRs
Transit culture is lacking The Editor, Voters are not stupid but I wager that most of them haven’t spent much time studying how cities with a good to great transit system (relative to the population of the town) finance their transit systems. I have used all sorts of transportation systems in a few countries since I was a child but it is only after I moved in the early 1980s to Vancouver — a metropolitan area that, shockingly for its size, was without a rapid transit system — that I got interested in the how and whys of transit. There isn’t the transit culture in Vancouver like those found in many towns where even the oldest people grew up with subways and other forms of public transportation. Far too many people in Metro Vancouver take it for granted that roads and bridges will be subsidized 100% by the government yet believe that transit shouldn’t be — as if each one of us taxpayers wasn’t already paying for all sorts of services that we don’t use for the benefit of other taxpayers who will use them. For instance, I don’t have children but don’t mind paying for the whole education system because your children will fund my pension. J-L Brussac, Coquitlam
Wake up to plight of your neighbours
The Editor, Re. “‘They have killed it,’ says shelter backer” (The Tri-City News, July 10). This is complete and utter BS. This is 2013 and if society should have learned something by now, it’s that we cannot rely on our government to create a healthy society. Based on my own experience, the reason services such as homeless shelters get nixed is lack of knowledge of the citizens, citizens assuming the government will take care of them. If people truly want a healthy community, they must look at the bigger picture. There are people everywhere struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, mental illness, homelessness and poverty. Shutting down the shelter will not take the problem out of your neighbourhoods. Wake up.
Now, you will find some of these people frozen to death in the same parks and trails you frequent with your family. Rob Thiessen made the best point in the article about having such places provide higher possibilities to get homeless people off the streets and into treatment, affordable housing, etc. I must give kudos to Maple Ridge. While the stigma associated with homelessness still exists, it’s slowly changing. I worked in the homeless shelter there for more than two years and saw schools bringing in their young children to serve and meet our clients. And any adult with judgment who took the step to educate themselves and come in the facility soon had a change of heart. Come in and hear their stories. This is not to tug at your heart strings but
to help you wake up to reality. A survey we conducted revealed that most people accessing the shelter and meal program were stricken by poverty or slipped through the cracks of government programs. Yes, there are some who do break the law and cause some to feel unsafe. But hear their stories, too. Every group has sinners in it — even people with jobs who pay taxes. I’ve surrounded myself with clean-cut, functioning people and people struggling with homelessness, poverty, addiction and mental illness, and I feel safer and more loved around the latter. They have some of the biggest hearts. And the ones who decide to improve their circumstances, watch out, the inspiration is just amazing. Erin Styles, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the parents who helped look for my five-year-old, Tyler, who was lost. We were swimming at Westhill Pool on July 11 when he went missing around 7:30 p.m. The lifeguards pulled everyone from the pool and all the parents spread out to find him. Although he was found safe and sound, I sincerely appreciated everyone who helped. It’s a great feeling to know that we live in such a carrying community. Thank you, everyone. Tara Macrae, Port Moody

Reimer and Robinson resign By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Two Coquitlam city councillors who asked for leaves of absence until the new year have now formally quit their civic jobs. On Monday, city clerk Jay Gilbert confirmed letters of resignation had been received from Linda Reimer, who was elected as the BC Liberal MLA in Port Moody-Coquitlam, and from Selina Robinson, now the BC NDP MLA for CoquitlamMaillardville. Last week, city council voted 4-2 to deny their leaves until January — which would have prevented a byelection — and instead hold a byelection to replace the pair of vacancies. A date for the fall byelection is expected to be set on July 29, the last council meeting before the summer break. Other Coquitlam news:
TAKE A WALK
Middle school students walking or cycling to class in Coquitlam will see better roads, signals and markings on their routes in a few years. O n M o n d ay, c i t y council unanimously approved a study to
look at measures to make it easier for kids to walk or cycle around REIMER middle schools. The city “needs study” is set to start in 2015. C u r r e n t l y , Coquitlam’s school walkability program, which started three years ago, focuses on traffic upgrades around elementary schools. Among the improvements now at 15 schools are: crosswalks, curb bulges, enhanced signage and pedestrian countdown timers. More work is to be done at 12 elementary schools this year while sidewalks will be installed at nine schools, costing $315,000; so far, sidewalks have already been built around Glen, Miller Park, Parkland and Roy Stibbs elementaries. Mayor Richard Stewart said the school walkability program has “probably saved lives” but he voiced his frustration with the slow pace to get the infrastructure built.
t o w n homes behind a seniors’ complex was approved this week RobInson — seven years after the first application came before Coquitlam city council. In 2007, the Earl Haig Society had planned four townhouses on its vacant lot at 491 Laurentian Cres., with the proceeds from the sales to support the seniors’ housing next door.
for classes & lessons
When its proposal was unsuccessful, the society sold the land to a new owner, who tried to get seven multi-family units on the property; that plan was turned down by council last November. On Monday, council voted 4-3 to approve a development permit, with councillors Craig Hodge, Mae Reid and Lou Sekora opposing because of its large size. “I’m glad to see we are finally getting something built here,” Coun. Neal Nicholson countered.

Coquitlam building permit values drop 7% from early ‘13
LASER THERAPY
By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The unprecedented building boom in Coquitlam is expected to ease over the next year or two. But the general manager of planning and development says city revenues will still be high and projections will be met to pay for budgeted capital projects. Last week, the city released its first trimester report showing building permit values down 7% — or $9 million — compared to the same period last year (between Jan. 1 and April 30, there were 849 development and building bids issued). This differs from the rest of Metro Vancouver, which saw building trends on par with 2012 levels. Coquitlam city staff attribute the drop in the first quarter to a slower housing market, political uncertainty with the provincial election and seasonal market fluctuations. Still, as deputy city manager John DuMont wrote in his report to city council last week, a number of “significant

The first-quarter drop in building permits is due to a number of issues, including a slower housing market, say municipal staff. projects” are now in the building permit bid stage and will likely be approved later this year. They include: • 1188 Pinetree Way (M3): $51 million; • 1123 Westwood St. (Onni): $43 million; • 3 0 0 7 G l e n D r. (Evergreen Tower): $43 million; • Centennial secondary school: $31 million; • 3461 Princeton Ave.: $16 million; • and 1033 Austin Ave. (Safeway): $11 million; Planning GM Jim McIntyre said most of the construction is happening in the south-
west (Burquitlam and Maillardville) and northeast (Burke Mountain) areas. In the first quarter of this year, 367 building permits were approved for the southwest while 321 were OK’d for Burke neighbourhoods: 213 for Smiling Creek, 82 for Lower Hyde Creek and 22 for Upper Hyde Creek. McIntyre said city planners are busy keeping pace with g row t h . Th i s ye a r, they hope to conclude the Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan, start the
Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan and the Hazel DriveHarper Road visioning process. As well, the next phase for the City Centre Area Plan will get underway not to mention planning for the Evergreen Line, which is expected to be running to City Centre by the summer of 2016 — the city’s 125th birthday. “The first four months was off a bit but, since then, construction activity has picked up and we expect the overall budget revenues to be what we projected,”McIntyre said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Tri-Cities MP Moore moved from heritage to industry By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Th e e l evat i o n o f James Moore to industry minister is viewed as a sign Prime Minister Stephen Harper will look to his senior B.C. minister to help convince the province to accept contentious new oil pipelines. The Conservative MP for Port MoodyWe s t w o o d - P o r t Coquitlam moved from heritage minister in a federal cabinet shuffle announced Monday. SFU political science professor Patrick Smith said he’s not surprised Moore has been promoted, calling him one of the government’s top performers in the House of Commons. But Smith said the move also strongly suggests Harper and National Resources Joe Oliver — who stays in his post — will press the provincial government to agree to either the
Kinder Morgan or Northern Gateway pipeline projects to allow a crucial Pacific outlet for Alberta oil. “They’re going to want a strong ally in the B.C. minis- MOORE ter, which could cause him some of his own difficulties,” Smith said. “British Columbians, as a general rule, are not in favour [of oil pipelines].” He described the bigger role for Moore as one that brings more opportunities, but also more risk if Ottawa’s energy development agenda unfolds badly in B.C. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has insisted any new oil pipeline must meet five provincial conditions, including world-class land and marine safety provisions, the addressing of aboriginal issues and a share of benefits for B.C. Smith said Kinder M o r g a n ’ s Tr a n s Mountain pipeline twinning is more likely to proceed than Enbridge’s Northern
G a t e w a y project, bec a u s e Tr a n s Mountain is already twinned along a third of the corridor, it faces less First Nations opposition and it uses an established tanker route and an existing land rightof-way. “I would think if you’re Stephen Harper and Joe Oliver and you’re going to push it, that’s the one you’re going to push.” Most other B.C. faces in the Harper cabinet are unchanged. The most notable shift was that of DeltaRichmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay from associate minister of national defence to National Revenue Minister. Abbotsford MP E d Fa s t r e m a i n s International Trade M i n i s t e r, while Richmond MP Alice Wo n g s t ay s o n a s Minister of State for Seniors.

ost newly minted high school graduates might take the summer off to catch their breath. Not Port Moody’s SaskiaVaisey. Instead, the 19-yearold Gleneagle secondary alum will embark on a 2,200-km journey from Vancouver to Inuvik, N.W.T. — on her bicycle. It’s an uncharted path for the slim-built teen who hasn’t strayed beyond the PoCo Trail on her bike. Vaisey and three teammates will ride 100 km a day starting onVancouver Island Aug. 1. Once they reach the northern tip of the Island, at Port Hardy, they will catch a ferry to Prince Rupert, and then another to Skagway, Alaska. “Well, it’s a really big challenge,”saysVaisey. “I’ve certainly never cycled so many days in a row.” She will have no cellphone reception for most of the trip. Being immersed in some of the most beautiful and remote wilderness scenery in North America is the consolation for losing her connection to the outside world. The infamous and isolated Dempster Highway — a 1,253-km gravel road connecting Whitehorse to Inuvik — will be a test of self-reliance for the group. At night, they will set up a camp, where the culinary offerings will be limited to whatever they could carry from Vancouver on their backs. When The Tri-City News caught up with Vaisey recently, she was dehydrating a mix of colourful fruits and vegetables into pellets. One of her teammates is compressing chilli in the same fashion. “It won’t be the most delicious [food], but it will

CLIMATE CHANGE
Vaisey belongs to GrassRoutes, a non-profit organization that uses biking to promote social change. “I like the concept that combines pushing your physical limits with environmental advocacy while engaging youth,” Vaisey said.“We are transporting ourselves with the power of our own legs — it makes the message
especially powerful.” Last summer, the group cycled across Canada, raising $14,684 for youth environmental projects and hosting 22 leadership workshops for Canadian students.This spring, members trekked across Turkey and talked environmental sustainability with another 975 students. GrassRoutes attracts environmental ambassadors from all corners of the world. The quartet journeying
to the midnight sun in August have home bases in Montreal, California, Powell River and Port Moody.Through online conferencing, they developed an itinerary for their expedition. Along the way to Inuvik, the GrassRoutes group will hold sustainability workshops, teach bike repair lessons and film a short video documentary. “The purpose of this project is to build dialogue between [Canadians]
in the north and south around climate change while empowering youth with tools to take action,” Vaisey explained. Mapping meals — essentially tracking where their food comes from — will be an eye-opener for youth living in northern communities. Food gathering through traditional seal and game hunting has been hindered by climate change, saidVaisey. More pre-packaged meals, which can fall short in nutritional content, are being brought into the
area by truck. Vaisey will be well versed on the Arctic way of life ahead of her August trip.The scholarship she won through Students on Ice Expeditions will see her exploring the eastern Canadian Arctic and western Greenland for two weeks in July. The ship- and landbased journey will offer Vaisey an opportunity to learn from scientists and historians about Arctic issues, the impact of climate change and Inuit culture in a remote
MARINATED KABOBS
ForVaisey, growing up in a forested area has made her more appreciative of Port Moody’s natural splendour. She volunteers at the salmon hatchery in Mossom Creek Park and worries about the future sale of the Ioco lands and potential new development. “I don’t think development in itself is bad but we need to do it in an environmentally sustainable way and make sure delicate ecosystems are protected,”she said. Her environmental activism model has two focuses: make direct change yourself and inspire other people to make change. That’s where her work with the Catching the SpiritYouth Society comes into play.The non-profit organization — dedicated to developing leadership and social responsibility in youth — holds stewardship camps in parks for 12- to 18-year-olds. One of the biggest challenges we face, living in an urban setting, she said, is that children don’t get outside enough. “Once they experience the parks, they will value the environment and want to protect it, and become stewards of the environment.” In September,Vaisey will study international economics at UBC, and possibly minor in geography studies, with the end goal of a career in international policy. “I think it’s important to understand the global economy first in order to create environmental solutions,”she says. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Food, a fiction side dish A GOOD READ Tammie Mercado
F
ans of both reading and cooking know that a good story can be as satisfying as a good meal. There are many themed cookbooks that explore this connection by celebrating the role of food in popular fiction. Most of the cookbooks included in this list contain recipes meant for adults and older teens with cooking experience while a few of these titles do contain simple recipes that younger (supervised) cooks might also enjoy. In Paddington’s Cookery Book, by Michael Bond with recipes by LesleyYoung and illustrations by R.W. Alley, Paddington Bear shows how to prepare several recipes — including a few that call for the use of his beloved marmalade. A few cookbooks pay tribute to the Star Wars universe. Check these out for some fun recipes for delicacies such as Hoth Chocolate and Boba Fettucine. The first of these is The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookiee Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes
by Robin Davis and Frankie Frankeny. The sequel is titled The Star Wars Cookbook II: Darth Malt and More Galactic Recipes by Frankeny and Wesley Martin. The newest book in this series is The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookiee Pies, Clone Scones and Other Galactic Goodies, by Davis and Lara Starr. The Manga Cookbook, written by the Manga University Culinary Institute and illustrated by Chihiro Hattori, highlights the foods that often appear in Japanese comics. Recipes are illustrated and explain how to make a variety of Japanese foods, such as decorative bento boxes, sweet dumplings and California rolls. The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook by Dinah Bucholz provides recipes for many of the foods highlighted in the popular book series. Recipes include Aunt Petunia’s pork loin, Mrs.
Weasley’s fudge, and the pumpkin pasties sold on the Hogwarts Express. The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook by Emily Ansara Baines is inspired by the dystopian future world in the popular trilogy. Recipes are based on the foods mentioned in the books, such as lamb stew with dried plums and bread from the Mellark’s Bakery. Joanne Fluke’s Lake Eden Cookbook collects the recipes from the first eight books of the Hannah Swensen Mysteries, a popular series that routinely includes the recipes of the title character (who runs a bakery when she is not solving mysteries). Like the book series, this cookbook is also written by Joanne Fluke. Brunetti’s Cookbook (also known as A Taste of Venice: At Table with Brunetti) provides recipes for the lavish food dishes described in the Commissario Brunetti Mysteries. Series author Donna Leon pairs with Roberta Pianaro to provide recipes and book excerpts for some of Brunetti‘s favourite meals. Fans of southern U.S. cooking will appreciate Fannie Flagg’s Original Whistle Stop Cafe
Cookbook, a companion to the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Author Flagg includes the recipes from the novel as well as more recipes from The Irondale Cafe, the Whistle Stop’s real-life inspiration. At the Downton Abbey estate, the Crawleys are used to the fine dining of their “upstairs”lives. But it’s their dedicated“downstairs”staff that makes this lifestyle possible. In The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook, author Emily Ansara Baines presents the recipes of Mrs. Patmore, Daisy and other notable characters. These are just a few of the cookbooks that highlight the relationship between good stories and good food. And don’t forget that there are also many novels that include recipes as part of the story. Visit the library to find these and other titles that celebrate the foods enjoyed by some of our favourite fictional characters.
A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every other Wednesday in July and August. Tammie Mercado works at Port Moody Public Library.

Another national nod for Coastal Sound Youth Choir Coquitlam-based vocal group wins in its category at the ACCC A Coquitlam-based vocal group has scored another high note in a national competition. The Coastal Sound Youth Choir (CSYC) under the direction of Carrie Tennant took first place in the Association of Canadian Choral Communities’ (ACCC) contest, formerly known as the CBC Choral Competition. The 70-member group was up against Chorale De La Salle of Ottawa and

Medway Madrigal Singers of London, Ont., in the category of mixed-voice youth choirs. The victory comes less than a year after they were picked as the top overall choir at the National Music Festival in Fort McMurray, AB. Last month, they also clinched the provincial title at the BC Festival of the Arts in Chilliwack. Yesterday (Tuesday), the choir left for Montana to take part in the triennial International Choral Music Festival in Missoula. Besides leading CSYC, Tennant also conducts the Sarah McLachlan School of Music
Youth Choir and the Chor Leoni MYVoice Vancouver Choir, and she is the associate artistic director of the Coastal Sound Music Academy. “All of us at Coastal Sound are extremely proud of these singers, and of Carrie and George,” said Diana Clark, the academy’s artist director. “It’s really a wonderful feeling to have helped these singers along the way (some have been singing in our choirs since they were five years old) and to watch them grow up to be such poised, caring and engaged artists.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

The wonderful world of wood Port Moody Arts Centre celebrates wood with a month-long exhibit, and a fair this Saturday By Janis Warren
A
The Tri-CiTy NeWS
bout seven years ago, Coquitlam resident Jim Johnson started to chip away at his hobby of woodturning a little more seriously. In his brightly lit studio at the back of his home, Johnson began to gather a number of quality tools to ply his craft: a lathe, drill press, band saw, sanders, grinder, carving gear and — of course — a high-powered vacuum to suck up the shavings. “Once I got going, there was no turning back,”he said.“It became very addictive.” Working primarily with his favourite hardwood, western maple, Johnson used ideas he had sketched down to shape his vision for the solid mass. He did this in his spare time in the afternoon, before he returned to his night job as a newspaper mailer. Often, he would recall a phrase he had
heard to“let the wood do the talking.” And so he would allow the chunk he had acquired (usually for free) to tell him what creation should appear, based on its size and markings. “It makes sense,” he said, “because what you get should dictate what you do with it — not the other way around.” Johnson’s curiosity for woodturning piqued further after he joined the Greater Vancouver Woodturners’ Guild. Not only did it give him a new perspective to his passion, but the designs being done by the other members pushed him to improve, too. Besides bowls, Johnson was now turning wall hangings and experimenting with dyes and inks. As well, he was producing intricate handiwork (such as punching holes) that added many more hours to get to the final product. Soon, there was a buzz about his artwork. Through word of mouth, he sold a few pieces and saw some of his objects featured at Joye Designs Gallery in Port Moody. Tomorrow (Thursday), two of Johnson’s handcrafted items — Dazed and Four Seasons — will be on display for a month at the Port
Moody Arts Centre as part of a juried exhibit focusing on wood crafting. Organized by Belcarra’s Des Wilson, who used to be on the PMAC society board, the gallery show that wraps up on Aug. 11 is meant to coincide with the city’s centennial celebrations this year. “We wanted to show the history of wood in Port Moody,”Wilson said. “At one time, the city had seven sawmills and it was a very important component to our past.” Wilson, who is also a member of the Greater Vancouver Woodturners Guild and will have his own artwork in the exhibit, said the show will include a wood fair on Saturday that highlights the various aspects of working with wood — be it manufacturing furniture and boats, making paper or jewellery, weaving baskets or carving bark. Johnson, who will be part of the wood fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the arts centre grounds, is no stranger to demonstrations. With the guild, he regularly sets up at Brentwood Mall in Burnaby to introduce the public to wood turning. see gAlleRY, page 27

winners Dear Rouge, will be on hand to mentor songwriters. Sponsored in part by The Shore 104.3 FM, Granville Island Brewery and the Tri-Cities’ Chamber of Commerce, the family-friendly event can accommodate up to 250 people, who will either pitch a tent on-site or stay in a Reo cabin. Asked what participants will gain from the experience, Solaczek responded, “Apart from seeing these amazing bands playing on the edge of a river, they’re probably going to take a few things away. “They will explore some new areas, get tips from professionals, take their artistry to the next level and, as a bucket-list activity for many people, white-water raft one of the best rivers in B.C. this summer.” • Early-bird tickets for Reo Fest are available until July 26, starting at $179.

First of all there is a new Manager, Peter Mo, who got his start in the industry back in 1991. He brought new life to the Restaurant, most notably by bringing in Curry Specialist Samlee Panpadungkul as head Chef! Samlee brings with her 35 years of expertise in Thai Cuisine, hailing from the former Siam Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand! She is a master in balancing the complexity of the flavours in the recipes and truly believes in preparing the best quality dishes using the freshest of ingredients. She specializes in Thai Curry dishes, Salads and tantalizing Soups! Don’t worry, all your favourites will still be available, but even tastier than ever. She also plans to
Aroma introduce a few new selections, one of which is her top secret (but I’m promised “AMAZING”) Roast Chicken! Another specialty is her Pad Thai Noodles, (with or without Chicken) which needs no explanation to Thai lovers. I can’t wait to try my favourite Thai Soup again, for the first time! Tom Ka Kai has always been a weakness for me and will no doubt become an addiction when Samlee makes it! As always, the restaurant is open for Lunch and Dinner and The Thai Garden’s extensive menu will still offer all of it’s items rated on the pepper scale. No peppers for the very timid, right up to 3 peppers for the truly adventurous!
In addition to your choice of spice, you are also given a huge selection of different items, including Curry Dishes, Satays, Soups, Salads, Chicken, Pork, Beef and Seafood Dishes, Salad Rolls, Vegetable Dishes, Noodles and of course Rice Dishes.
Watch for more exciting changes coming soon! Peter Samlee and all the staff promise to make every visit an adventure in exotic flavours.

But in three weeks, she had enough tracks for the sound recording project — 10 or 11 of which will be released this fall on the new CD that Ulrich plans to call Montreal or The Montreal Sessions. “Apparently, I can crank them out at a much higher rate than I ever imagined,” the Bowen Island resident said with a laugh. Julia Graff, 23, who engineered the album in less than two weeks, plays the violin on the new album while her childhood friend, Ted Littlemore, also a McGill music student, works the piano and accordion. This summer, the trio will perform some of the new tunes during a B.C. tour, which on Saturday will stop in Coquitlam as part of the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s Music on the Grill series. Besides her new material, Ulrich will also throw in some folk favourites from over her 35-year career, “Ones that I know the audience wants to hear,” said the affable Juno-award winner. Among her best-loved pieces are Oh Daddy, She Remembers, Romeo, I’m Not the One, With or Without You and Every Road. Though the California native continues to perform solo, she is also famously known for being one of three. In 1973, she performed with Rick Scott and Joe Mock as the Pied Pumkin String Ensemble; she was also a member of the folk group UHF with Bill Henderson and Ray Forbes. And five years ago, she joined Barney Bentall and Tom Taylor to release Live at Cates Hill under the name BTU. But playing on stage with her daughter “is pretty darn great, mostly because I didn’t plan it this way.” Graff, she said, has much to teach her mom — not just about music but about life, too. “She’s very instinctive and very precise,” Ulrich said. “Both of us tend to struggle with decisions but when it comes right down to it, she knows what to do instinctively.” Keeping family close is key to Ulrich these days, especially with Graff crafting music of her own and the discov-

Saints find silver lining at provincials By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam fell just short in their quest for provincial gold at the female minor box lacrosse championships on the weekend. New Westminster #2 shaded Port Coquitlam Saints 4-3 Sunday to win the midget division at the provincial championships at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. Brianna Stroup supplied a pair of goals for the Saints, while Elexa Pakozdy chipped in a goal and assist. “If anybody had said at the beginning of the season I bet you’ll be playing for the gold medal, I would have taken that bet,” said manager Debbie Berg. “I don’t think they could have done anything better. There wasn’t one girl who didn’t do their absolute 110% best.” Coquitlam Adanacs topped New Westminster #1 6-4 to take the midget division bronze. Harlowe Steele powered the Adanacs offence with three goals and three assists, while Megan Showvar tallied two goals and Bianca Santucci added a single. “They battled really hard. I was really proud of them,” said Adanacs coach James Abbott. “It’s tough because you sit for almost a month and then you get into all these intense games. From top to bottom, I thought our
players got better and better as the tournament went on.” Po r t C o q u i t l a m held off Coquitlam 5-4 Saturday night to earn a spot in the finals. In the bantam division, Ridge Meadows #2 dumped the Port Coquitlam Saints 7-2 in the gold medal game. Cassandra Gill and Kelsey Towers scored for the Saints. Ridge Meadows #1 outlasted Coquitlam 4-1 to claim bronze. Rylee Mackenzie scored the lone Coquitlam goal. In the semifinals, Ridge Meadows #2 topped Coquitlam 7-3, while Port Coquitlam outlasted the other Ridge Meadows squad 3-2. New Westminster was the class of the junior division, with the #2 squad blanking their cross-town rivals 6-0 in the finals. Ridge Meadows took bronze by doubling Coquitlam #2 6-3. Sydney Roy scored all three goals for Coquitlam, earning the MVP award in the junior division. In Saturday’s semifinals, New Westminster #2 doubled Ridge Meadows 6-3, While New Westminster #1 polished off Coquitlam #2 11-3. New Westminster struck gold in the peewee division as well, k n o c k i n g o f f Po r t Coquitlam #1 8-3. Katelyn Walker had a pair of markers for PoCo with Amy Vegh chipping in a single.

Port Coquitlam #2 hammered Coquitlam #1 11-1 for the bronze. Natalie Gane and Molly Schmidt each scored hat tricks for the Saints,
while Daniella Stroup added a pair and Alyssa Wahl, Shannon Pilgrim and Taya Schubert supplied singles. Darci Johal replied for Coquitlam.
Port Coquitlam #1 got past Coquitlam #1 5-2 in Saturday’s semis, while New Westminster upended Port Coquitlam #2 6-2.
“From an organizational standpoint, it’s one of the best provincials I’ve been to and I’ve been to a fair amount over the last eight years,”
said Abbott. “Heather (Wilson-Banks) did a phenomenal job.” Wilson-Banks was presented with the BCLA Volunteer Award.
Double-header has Reds primed for playoff run By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Reds swept a doubleheader from Vancouver Cannons Sunday to improve their standing in the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s crowded playoff picture. The Reds scorched the Cannons 11-6 in the late game after opening with a 5-2 win to wrap up their regular season at Vancouver’s Queens Park. The Reds finish the regular season with a 28-20 record, and will enter the playoffs in anywhere from fourth to sixth spot depending on this week’s other results from around the league. “I have three teams I have to prepare for. I don’t know which game to watch (Tuesday night),” said Reds head
coach Kyle Williams. Austin MacDonald got the win for the Reds in Sunday’s twilight game, while Curtis Taylor struck out six to take the opener for the Reds who needed three runs in the eighth. Dalton Anderson powered the Reds’ offence on Sunday, going 5-for-6 with four runs scored and an RBI. The Reds opened the weekend with a 5-4 loss to the host White Rock Tritons on Saturday afternoon. Mark Trimble took the loss on the mound, while TJ McCullough (2-for3) and Hayden Jaco (2for-4) were steady at the plate. “We dropped the first game that we never should have dropped but we responded with intensity. It was a whole different competition
level on Sunday,” said Williams, calling it a good sign for Saturday’s start of the playoffs. He said infield defence and strong performances from the club’s big hitters will be key to the Reds’ chances for playoff success. “In the playoffs you don’t get five or six chances to score. You might get two or three and you have to make the most of them.” In junior league action, the Coquitlam Redlegs split a doubleheader with the North Delta Jr. Blue Jays Sunday at Mundy Park, dropping the opener 6-3 before responding with a 7-1 win in the late game. Manager Bill Green said pitching was the story behind Sunday’s mixed results. “We walked 11 guys
(in the first game) and we haven’t done that all year. There were a lot of soft runs as a result,” said Green. “It was not a good all-round performance, but baseball is a game that starts on the mound.” Drew Horton went the distance for the Redlegs in the win, scattering five hits with five strikeouts and two walks to push his record to 11-5. Cole Nightingale went 1-for-2 with three RBIs, while Ryley Leoppky was 1-for-2 with a pair of RBIs. Josh Mickelson took the loss in the opener, while Horton went 2-for-2 at the plate and Thierry Parker was 1-for-3 with a pair of RBIs. The Redlegs stand in third place with a 22-14 record with eight games remaining in their season.

Glaesser snares third Coquitlam’s Jasmin Glaesser rode to a bronze-medal finish at Sunday’s Peace Arch News Road Race. Glaesser, the 2012 Canadian Olympic cycling bronze medallist who was born in Germany, finished the 80-kilometre course in two hours, 23 minutes and 34 seconds. Glaesser, who rides for Team Tibco, was edged out at the finish line for second place by Lex Albrecht and trailed Peace Arch champion Kathryn Donovan by almost three minutes. Donovan of Oxnard, Calif. and Montreal’s Albrecht both ride for Team NOW and Novartis for MS. “Going into the race, when NOW had eight riders on the start line, it was going to be tricky no matter what. My plan was to make it a really
hard race and go for broke and see what happens,” said the 21-year-old Glaesser. “At the end I was in a really tricky situation with four NOW riders and myself — it’s not a good place to be in — so eventually I had to make a decision knowing the win was unlikely. I had to let one of the riders go and try to fight it out for second or third place.” Sunday’s race was the third and final stage of the Tour de White Rock, with the cyclists for Team NOW sweeping the podium in the first two events. Donovan was quick to give credit to Glaesser for Sunday’s ride. “She’s really strong, she was setting the pace on the climbs, so she’s a really good climber,” said Donovan. “She’s a good sprinter too.”
Glaesser, who was named last week by Cycling Canada for the selection pool for the 2013 UCI Road World Championships in September, is expecting even better things in her next event. “Later this week when I’m down in Bend, Ore. for the Cascade Cycling Classic, I’ll have my teammates with me and we’ll see how things work out then,” said Glaesser. “But the NOW team did a great job throughout BC Superweek and for them to come out is great in building the women’s field.” North Vancouver’s Zach Bell topped the men’s field at Sunday’s Peace Arch News Road Race. Bell finished the 134-kilometre trek in 3:31:38, nearly four minutes ahead of Germany’s Michael Schweizer.
