Trash reg fines bear necessity Cities increasing enforcement due to bear activity By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tri-City bylaw officials are stepping up enforcement of garbage regulations after an increase in bear activity across the region last month. Drake Stephens, Coquitlam’s urban wildlife co-ordinator, told The Tri-City News night patrols will be taking place this week in order to ensure residents are not bringing their garbage bins to the curb too early. Garbage, recycling and green waste bins are major animal attractants, he said, and cans should

not be set out before 5:30 a.m. on collection day. He is also reminding residents to use their green bins, which get picked up earlier than garbage and recycling, for all food and compost scraps. “A lot of people aren’t aware that it is being mandated that all organics have to be in the green can or organic bin,”he said. see TRASH FINES, page 6

Authorities are urging swimmers to be cautious in area lakes and rivers after two young men drowned in separate incidents in the last week. The first occurred at Alouette Lake last Thursday when a 2 1 - ye a r- o l d Po r t Coquitlam man drowned shortly before 4 p.m. He and his friends were in the public swimming area when he disappeared under the water. Emergency officials

said they did not know how long the man was submerged; it’s believed he was under for at least 20 minutes. He was pulled from the lake by friends and brought to shore. Nurses on the beach administered CPR before emergency personnel arrived. The man has been identified as Jacob Rutzen Gibbs. He is described in his obituary as a devout Canucks fan who loved the outdoors, road hockey, the Grouse Grind and Vanilla Coke. see CPR PERFORMED, page 7

Is pile driving you crazy?

Off-duty PM cop pepper-sprayed A Port Moody police officer received medical attention after he was doused with bear spray while making a suspected drunk-driving arrest while off duty. According to PMPD, the officer was on his way to work when he noticed a car weaving into oncoming traffic. At one point, the vehicle stopped on the highway while the passenger and driver switched places. The officer notified police dispatch and continued to follow the vehicle into a parking lot, where the suspects got out of their car. “The officer was now confronted by four people,” said PMPD Sgt. Brad Sheridan in a press release. “When asked for identification, the driver produced a canister of bear spray and sprayed the officer in the face.” The four occupants ran away and, despite the effects of the spray, the officer was able to apprehend one of the men. Coquitlam RCMP officers arrived a short time later and a police dog was brought in.Two men were found sitting in a vehicle a few blocks away and a third man was arrested a short distance from the scene. The officer who was sprayed received medical treatment for the exposure to the spray. Coquitlam RCMP are still considering charges in the incident. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

PoCo woman may face riot charges Vancouver Police are seeking charges against another 27 suspected Stanley Cup rioters, including and a Port Coquitlam woman It’s the final bulk batch of charges VPD say they’re requesting related to the night of mayhem and violence more than two years ago in downtown Vancouver. Among the suspects is a 25-year-old PoCo woman who is accused of punching another woman in the face who tried to protect an unmarked police car in the hours after the Canucks lost the Cup final. Police say the Good Samaritan suffered facial and dental injuries while the attacker was also caught on video entering The Bay. Although large batches of charge recommendations are no longer expected, the VPD says further charges may come one or two accused at a time. “For those rioters out there that believe they can wait us out and hide from us and be disguised with anonymity, we will find you and you will be brought to justice,” VPD Supt. Dean Robinson said. Police have sought a total of 1,204 charges against 352 rioters. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Construction in City Centre brings lots of pile driving By Janis Warren THe Tri-CiTY News

The ongoing thud of pile driving in Coquitlam City Centre will continue for a few more years, city council heard last week. Besides the spurt of h ig h r ises g o in g up, pile driving will also be needed down Pinetree Way to support Evergreen Line columns and stations, said Maurice Gravelle, the city’s strategic initiatives general manager. The issue of pile driving came before councilin-committee on July 15 when building permits manager Doug Vance spoke about the number of complaints the city receives and its attempts to lessen the hammering. In July 2010, council changed the noise bylaw to allow pile driving on

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Bosa’s Evergreen development at the corner of Pinetree Way and Glen Drive in Coquitlam, south of city hall. Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. instead of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. to respond to residents’ and business owners’ concerns. As well, the city hired a geotechnical engineer to consider alternate pile driving technologies. In the City Centre, pile driving is required in some areas — such as

along Pinetree — to lay a deeper foundation; however, three blocks away, pile driving may not be needed because of the different soil conditions. For example, at 1123 Westwood St., where Onni plans a 33-storey tower, the company will be using other foundation measures; at other

sites, such as at Cressey’s M2, a preloading of the property will be enough while pile driving will be required for its 44-storey M3 project at 1188 Pinetree Way. Vance said city building permits staff have been meeting early with developers and contractors to find ways to miti-

gate the pounding. Recently, Bosa used sound-dampening pads for two test piles at 3007 Glen Dr. but the difference was only five decibels, he said. However, through a reassessment, Bosa has concluded it will need 20% less piles for its site,Vance said. Vance recommended council not regulate the type of technology used by designers. If it interferes, he suggested, it could open the city to liability in the event of building failure. He said one solution is for the developers and contractors to communicate better about the construction schedule, and have a liaison available to answer any pile driving concerns. Mayor Richard Stewart said City Centre will face growing pains for many years. “Our City Centre is going to be magnificent but these are the early days and there will be challenges,”he said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Big Burke daycare crosses second last hurdle By Janis Warren THe Tri-CiTY News

A massive daycare planned for Burke Mountain is getting mixed reviews from neighbours but high marks from Coquitlam city council. On Monday, following a public hearing, city council granted second and third bylaw readings to change the land use at 3486 Wessex Crt. for the daycare that, if approved, would accommodate up to 74 toddlers

and pre-schoolers. The vacant, 22,200-sq. ft. property was consolidated from three lots to build the facility, which many city councillors say will be needed given the number of young families now living on the mountain. Raymond Nothstein, development manager for Wesbild, which owns the land, told council the daycare will be an “important community amenity” and close to a future elementary school in the Smiling Creek

neighbourhood. There is also more parking than required in the bylaw and the operators will live upstairs, he said. But some Burke residents said the daycare will stick out like a sore thumb because of its size. They also voiced concern about traffic problems, lack of sufficient parking for the parents and 12 staff, and safety concerns. “I can really see this as a really dangerous accident point,” said Harper Road resident Bob Ruskin, referring to the

intersection of Wessex and Princeton Avenue, a collector road. He also said the proposed design for the double single-family home won’t fit in with surrounding builders’ work. Antonio Proietti, president of the Northeast Coquitlam Ratepayers’ Association, also wrote a letter to council about the lack of information available about the daycare to new buyers in the area. But longtime Burke resident Brian Walton supported the bid, say-

ABBOTSFORD INTERNATIONAL

ing the daycare will be in high demand. Coun. Brent Asmundson, who also lives on Burke, said the builder has tried to make the daycare blend in and said, “I think it will fit in the neighbourhood very well.” Coun. Craig Hodge, another Burke resident, told The Tri-City News on Tuesday that many Burke families have both parents working “and this is something that we really need up here.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

The B.C. Real Estate Association is offering a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the May attack on a realtor in Port Coquitlam. Coquitlam RCMP announced last Wednesday that investigators were seeking a suspect in a sexual assault that occurred during a May 4 open house at a home on Rowland Street. The realtor did not suffer any physical injuries and was able to convince the man to leave the home. “Thankfully, these incidents are rare but they do happen,” said BCREA CEO Robert Laing. “Realtor safety is an important area of concern for all of us in the real estate profession.” The suspect is described as an Asian man in his mid-30s, with dark hair and eyes with some bumps on his face; at the time of the incident he was wearing a T-shirt, jeans and running shoes. Laing said that BCREA is advising all re-

Talk to the neighbours, council tells developers Council turns down an Austin Heights proposal

adding the developers now have a “trust issue” with the commuMAE REID nity. Coun. Mae Reid said she was “proud to be a Coquitlamite” to see how residents could rally. “This is how to get a project rejected,” Mayor Stewart cautioned the crowd. “I tell developers all the time to talk to their neighbours… You ignore the neighbourhood at your peril.” On Tuesday, Farstad told The Tri-City News he had yet to hear from the developers about their next steps. “Clearly, there wasn’t enough neighbourhood consultation,”he said. Meanwhile, city council on Monday granted second and third bylaw readings to rezone 945 and 951 Charland Ave., at Blue Mountain Street, in the Austin Heights neighbourhood. Blue Mountain Vistas plan to build a four-storey, 31unit apartment block south of the PetroCanada gas station.

DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT

By Janis Warren THe Tri-CiTy News

Developers who don’t talk with Coquitlam neighbours about their construction plans will likely run into a roadblock when their bid comes up for debate, city council said this week. Council issued the stern warning Monday following a public hearing when several Austin Heights homeowners complained they hadn’t been consulted about a developers’ bid to subdivide two Haversley Avenue lots and build four narrow houses on the dead-end street. Residents in the single-family home area, off Schoolhouse Street, said the new houses would be out of character and they said they’re worried about extra traffic, onstreet parking, safety and the possible removal of mature trees. They also submitted a letter to oppose the development. The subdivision proposal comes two

A controversial proposal that would see one side of a Burquitlam street lined with 107 townhomes as well as add a five-storey, 99-unit apartment building was deferred on Monday. Coquitlam city council is expected to decide on the proposed Intracorp development at its July 29 meeting, the final council meeting before a month-long summer break. years after city council passed the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan, which calls for 5,000 more residents in 2,500 more homes between Blue Mountain and Linton streets, and Foster and Rochester avenues. Under the official community plan, the Haversley site is also in an area designated for more affordable housing. Still, despite its growth policy, council said the planned subdivision wasn’t a good fit, especially given many surrounding homeowners were undergoing significant renovations. Speaking on behalf of the applicants, planner Graham Farstad of the Arlington Group said the area is attractive and they “want to contribute and add” to

the diverse neighbourhood that already has 33ft. lots nearby as well as the Hillside community church directly south. But asked by Mayor Richard Stewart when he had been hired by the applicants, Farstad responded, shaking his head, “This morning” — a comment that irked many city councillors. During the council meeting later, councillors took aim at Farstad and the four applicants. “There was no community engagement,” said Coun. Terry O’Neill, who added the developers “had the neighbours doing the guessing work” about what was to be built. “The developers should have really gone into the neighbourhood to get the pulse,” Coun. Brent Asmundson said,

Trash fines up to $500 continued from front page

“If we could just get people to participate in that, there would be less food available.” With night patrols stepping up, Stephens said it is likely that some warnings will be issued to residents for bringing trash to the curb the night before pickup day. Fines aren’t generally necessary, he said, and people comply once they have received more information on the importance of securing their garbage. But those who fail to take the warnings seriously could face a $500 fine. Port Coquitlam will also be stepping up its enforcement and fines of $150 can be levied to residents with unsecured waste or animal attractants on their property. The city noted that 98 bear sightings were reported in June, which is up from 50 in May. Last month’s calls included 12 reports of bears eating garbage and two of aggressive bears. PoCo city staff will be stepping up enforcement on the city’s north and

south sides but will pay particular attention to neighbourhoods with the most bear activity. Those areas include north of Lougheed Highway along with the Nacht Avenue and McPherson Drive neighbourhoods to the south. Under PoCo bylaws, residents must secure their garbage and food scraps in either a wildlife-resistant enclosure like a garage or shed, or by using a city approved wildlife-resistant lock. Carts must be set out between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day and must be re-secured by 7 p.m. that evening.

Public Notice

FUNDING AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEB REGULATORY PROCESS REGARDING THE TRANS MOUNTAIN EXPANSION PROJECT National Energy

Office national

Board l’énergie The National Energy Board (NEB or Board) will make funds available under its ParticipantdeFunding Program (PFP) to assist directly affected persons to participate in the regulatory process of the proposed Trans Mountain National Energy Office national Expansion project. Board de l’énergie

Trans Mountain ULC intends to seek Board approval to expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system from its current capacity of 300,000 bpd (barrels per day), to approximately 890,000 bpd. The application is expected to be filed with the NEB in late 2013. For more information on this project, please visit www.neb-one.gc.ca, where you can sign up for process and PFP updates via e-mail. The NEB will hold public information sessions in fall 2013 in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline to explain the Participant Funding Program and the hearing process. Funds will be made available to help persons who are directly affected or have relevant information or expertise review and comment on a project application to be submitted by the proponent, Trans Mountain. Funding must be used to prepare for and participate in the hearing process, which will be announced by the Board at a later date. To receive funding, all approved recipients will be required to apply to participate and be granted intervenor status in the NEB’s regulatory process for this project. A funding review committee, independent of the regulatory process, will consider all applications for funding and make recommendations on the allocation of funds. Funding applications can be submitted beginning now until 60 days after the Board releases its list of intervenors. The hearing date has not yet been set, as an application has not yet been filed. When the NEB sets a hearing date, that information will be made public. Funding will only be awarded for hearing related activities conducted after your PFP application has been approved. Please review the Participant Funding Program Guide to determine when and how to apply for funding and what funding will cover.

Rash of car break-ins on the Plateau By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Paramedics and firefighters try to resuscitate a 21-yearold Port Coquitlam man who drowned last Thursday while swimming in Alouette Lake in Maple Ridge.

“The investigation into the drowning is in its early stages, therefore it is too early to say what the cause was,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop with Ridge Meadows RCMP. A second drowning occurred at Sasamat Lake on Sunday, when a swimmer in distress was pulled from the water. The 24-year-old man, who has not been identified, was said to be in critical condition after he was airlifted to hospital from White Pine beach. But the B.C. Coroners Service confirmed Monday that the man had died. Park goers helped pull the victim to shore, where park staff and police, who arrived shortly after 1:30 p.m., were able to conduct CPR. “This person was airlifted to hospital,” said Barbara McLintock, a coroner with the service. “Unfortunately, he didn’t make it. Our investigation is quite in the preliminary stages.” • A service was to be held today (Wednesday) for Rutzen Gibbs. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canuck Place in his memory.

No Detroit comparisons B.C.’s pooled risk model one of many differences

in B.C. And he’s not sure it could be repeated today. “If you said ‘Municipality A, you’re going to be on the hook through this mechanism for Municipality B,’ I’m not certain that would fly so easy today.” B.C. might not have developed as it did if small mining and forestry towns — dependent on one big employer — had been forced to borrow on their own at much higher interest rates. Stringer said numerous safeguards and regulations apply here that are different from the U.S. “It is much more of a wild west show there,” he said. “We’re much more conservative.” In B.C., cities cannot budget to run a deficit nor can they borrow more than 25% cent of their sustainable revenues — and Stringer noted no B.C. municipality even comes close to that cap. Additionally, MFA withholds one cent of every dollar it borrows for a debt reserve fund, now at $114 million, which would help bail out any city that runs into financial distress. It has never been used but can be replenished through taxation if it is ever tapped. Borrowing requests by a local city must be scrutinized and approved first by the regional district board and then by MFA. Other differences in the U.S. are the voter referenda that sometimes force

By Jeff Nagel BlaCk Press

Alarm over the city of Detroit filing for bankruptcy protection has Metro Vancouver officials assuring taxpayers that cities here are on much safer financial footing. The largest-ever financial collapse of a major U.S. city has sparked a call for a checkup on public debt levels here. All B.C. cities except for Vancouver do all their borrowing through the Municipal Finance Authority of B.C., which holds a triple-A credit rating that rivals those of the strongest Canadian provinces. “We’re very different from Detroit,” Metro finance committee chair Richard Walton said.“We’re extremely cautious borrowers.” He was responding to a request at the committee’s Friday meeting from Delta Mayor Lois Jackson for more detail on the risk to taxpayers of a similar municipal default. “It’s a totally different situation,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin added. A key difference is that unlike American and most Canadian cities that borrow

Municipal Finance Authority chief administrative officer Robin Stringer. individually, B.C. municipalities share responsibility for repaying debts through the MFA. Each city crossguarantees the others, so borrowers consider it much less risky to lend to them and are willing to do so at lower interest rates. No city in Canada — not even Toronto or Montreal — borrows at lower rates than B.C.’s smallest towns, said MFA chief administrative officer Robin Stringer. That has saved B.C. taxpayers billions of dollars since the MFA formed in 1970 and there has never been a default in B.C. in those 43 years. And even though the MFA’s pooled-risk model is the envy of many other regions, it remains basically unique in North America. Stringer said it was forged in the final years of Premier W.A.C. Bennett’s government at a time of great “cooperative spirit”

caps on taxes, putting cities closer to the edge of failing to cover debts. Walton also noted that while highly regulated career professionals manage municipal finance in B.C., equivalent treasurer jobs in U.S. cities are often elected positions, sometimes putting vote-chasing, incompetent or corrupt decisionmakers in charge. Still, Delta’s Jackson insists Detroit’s failure has the public worried and she asked for a breakdown of per capita and per property local government debt. Surrey wants to borrow $67 million from MFA for a new Grandview Heights pool and Fleetwood recreation centre, and Coquitlam is seeking nearly $18 million. Even with the extra debt, Surrey would be at less than 20% of its MFA-imposed debt servicing limit and Coquitlam would be at 26% of its cap. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who sits on the MFA board, said Metro has been scrutinizing such requests more closely as they have grown in size. “Far more rigour is put into this than was in the past,” he said. “It’s important to all of us that there not be a default.” Metro directors endorsed the Coquitlam and Surrey requests to MFA and directed staff to get answers to Jackson’s questions. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Support shown for church, hall THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A church and banquet hall planned for Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle received overwhelming support from the people who spoke during a public hearing on the development Monday night. Most of the residents who attended the meeting were parishioners with Riverside Community Church, the proponent. “Our programs have outgrown the size of our building,” said Derrick Sanderson, a youth pastor at the church, which is currently located at Lougheed Highway near Coast Meridian. “I’m looking forward to the new facility.” Th e d eve l o p m e n t breaks up the property at 2220 Fremont St., 579 Nicola Ave. and 570 Dominion Ave. into three parcels. One area would have a principle church building, including a small book store and a cafe with a maximum of 20 seats. Th e s e c o n d a r e a would hold a commercial banquet facility with a floor area of 9,149 sq. ft. that would be capable of holding up to 600 seats. A third area would be developed by ConWest and contain seven acres of industrial space. David Earhardt, a parishioner, said the development will not only offer a place of worship for members of the church but a facility the

rest of the neighbourhood can enjoy. “Yes, it is a church,” he said, “but we are very committed to the idea of the church being part of the community.” All of the councillors present voted in favour of the development (Mayor Greg Moore recused himself from the proceedings because his wife works for the church and Coun. Dean Washington was not present for the meeting). Coun. Mike Forrest noted that while the city will not receive the same tax revenues it would have had the land been developed completely as industrial, there are non-monetary benefits that come with the church proposal. Even with a reduced number of industrial acres, it is estimated that 200 jobs will be created when the development is built out, including the seven acres of industrial land still included. “It’s a balancing act,” Forrest said. “It’s presented here in some balance and we hope to get some of the outcomes we expect from the [industrial portion of the property].” Fourth and final reading of the proposal will take place at a future council meeting. gmckenna @tricitynews.com

PoCo earns 1.93% A sluggish economy and historically low interest rates are being blamed for weak returns from the city of Port Coquitlam’s investment portfolio. In 2012, the city managed a rate of return of 1.93% on the more than $93 million it has invested in term deposits — funds that will eventually be used for future capital projects. That is slightly higher than the 1.85% return the city received the previous year but is a long way from the 4% to 5% range achieved prior to the recession, according to a report outlining PoCo’s investments for 2012 that was brought before the finance and intergovernmental committee on Monday. But while investment returns have not been great in the last few years, Richard Wells, the city’s interim director of corporate services, said the funds are keeping pace with inflation. “If the inflation rate is going up 2%, we are equal with our purchasing power,”he said. Since 2008, when PoCo’s investment returns hovered around the 4% mark, the city’s portfolio has not broken 2% per year, hitting an all-time low of just under 1.5% in 2010.

Play if safe this summer

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

ummer seems to be the season of senseless accidents. A jogger is hit by a train at a busy and wellmarked crossing along White Rock’s waterfront. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces. These kinds of tragedies seem to happen year after year. And they especially resonate because they often involve people doing activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer. Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool. But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the season doesn’t mean we can let down our guard. Traffic may be diminished but it’s still dangerous. The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and refreshing but dangers lurk beneath the surface. Beers on the back deck or campsite are just as intoxicating as those consumed in the pub on a Friday night. Of course, more people are out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures, so the odds are more accidents are likely to occur. But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgment. Seemingly inconsequential acts like leaving a window open, rolling a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, ignoring a prominently placed warning notice can come with huge consequences — sometimes even fatal ones. British Columbians love the outdoors, partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beautiful, partly because we spend so much of the year seeking shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky. Just remember to be careful out there. – The Burnaby NewsLeader (Black Press)

Green MLA speaks about coal and controversy BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher

fter climate scientistturned-Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion: Tom Fletcher: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil. Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this? Andrew Weaver: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal because coal use is on the rise worldwide. Not in the

United States because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, ‘Let’s ship it to Asia.’ California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no.Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure. It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal, etc. Fletcher: Liquefied natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now... Weaver: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else.

Fletcher: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again but you’re seeing a similar thing here? Weaver: Yes. And if we start shipping natural gas to Asia… the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that. Fletcher: How has the legislature session been for you? Weaver: I sit there and watch the two parties: Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this because this needs to change. And I think it can change. Fletcher: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period? Weaver: Yes and if I’ve asked, it’s been no problem.

Fletcher: Grudgingly, no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland. Weaver: [Laughs]Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the BC Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from. Fletcher: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon? Weaver: No, never. They asked me to and I said no because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

simple view of DTes Stolen package only valuable to family The Editor, To the person who stole the package off my parents’ front porch last week on Westwood Plateau: The UPS package you took, perhaps by accident, really contained nothing of value to you. It contained my brother’s graduation photos and certificate from his master’s studies. We are incredibly proud of him for his accomplishments. He went to hell and back to get his degree. He worked two jobs and many overnight shifts to pay his way through school on his own. That piece of paper is worth nothing to you but means everything to us. Our grandparents will be heartbroken that they will not get to see his graduation photos because their frail health prevented them from going in person. Please return our package — no questions asked. You know where we live.

The Editor, Re. “Radia: Maximize good in Van’s DTES” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, July 18). Like others, Andy Radia’s thoughts regarding the Downtown East Side gentrification debate lack context. The columnist sees the issue as nothing more than developers and restaurant owners pitted against anti-capitalism activists — a common viewpoint. Things are not so simple or black and white. M i s s i n g f ro m M r. Radia’s argument is the discussion about affordable housing on the DTES. Both the provincial government and city of Vancouver have committed to build more affordable housing in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, their actions have not kept pace with their promises and deadlines. Without these affordable housing units, people with nowhere to go are currently being displaced as a result of gentrification. It is only because this housing stock has not kept up to targeted levels that development and capitalism have become bad words. As for the columnist’s

Toronto picks HOT lanes over TL’s road pricing By Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink isn’t alone in looking at road pricing as a source of new revenue. Toronto’s regional transportation authority is among several Canadian jurisdictions that have studied the possibility and it has just proposed a slate of new funding tools. None of them is comprehensive road pricing of the sort that has been bandied about by Metro Vancouver mayors, where motorists would pay a fee — at least at peak times and possibly varying based on congestion levels — to travel any significant distance. Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of the Metrolinx authority in Greater Toronto, said his planners support the road pricing concept but

decided against it for now. “While we have very good rapid transit service into downtown Toronto, we don’t have the choices available in other parts of the region,” he said Frodau at a TransLinkorganized panel discussion with counterparts from Vancouver and Montreal. “We felt that we needed to invest more in building those rapid transit choices in some of the more suburban areas before we could move towards a comprehensive road pricing program.” Toronto has proposed to raise $2 billion a year for transit through an increase in the HST in the region, along with higher fuel taxes, a levy on non-residential parking stalls and increased development charges. The one variant of road pricing Toronto intends to pursue is converting HOV lanes to HOT (high occupancy/tolled) lanes where those

who opt to pay a toll can use the lanes along with HOV users to bypass congestion. “That’s intended to help expand the system,” McCuaig said in an interview. He said Metrolinx will use the HOT lane toll revenue to increase the network of HOV lanes from 69 km now to about 450 km over the medium to long term in the Greater Toronto/Hamilton area. “We see that as a significant way to introduce a choice to the traveling public, that they can get a higher level of service if they pay a premium.” TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said HOT lanes aren’t seen as a significant part of the solution to the longterm transit financing conundrum in Metro Vancouver. “There may be some applications but not to the degree of the system-

wide application in the Toronto area,” Jarvis said. Metro Vancouver mayors have so far suggested a vehicle levy, a small regional sales tax or a share of carbon tax fund future transit expansion, including new rapid transit lines to UBC and through Surrey to Langley and White Rock. Road pricing is seen as the ultimate and most powerful tool — not just raising money but also shaping travellers’ behaviour and including time-of-day price signals — but it’s assumed it would take several years to flesh out. TransLink has said it also intends to take the time-of-day pricing concept to transit fares as well, charging riders less at off-peak times compared to rush hour. The Metro Vancouver mayors’ council heard last week of another approach that has already been

tested on a pilot basis in Oregon. Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said that state is moving ahead with a further test of up to 5,000 vehicles that will voluntarily pay 1.5 cents per mile travelled and have all their gasoline taxes reimbursed. He said the intent is to eventually replace the state’s gas tax with a permile road usage charge. TransLink’s gas tax has lately proven to be an inconsistent source of funding, prompting regional officials to look to other options. Fuel taxes are expected to wane as a viable source given trends of residents to take transit or other non-car travel options; fuel up outside the region, where lower taxes apply; make shorter trips as more people live closer to where they work; or, over time, buy electric cars. jnagel@blackpress.ca

$25,000 less than the maximum allowed under Canadian law — $135,000 for future care and medical costs, and $52,000 for loss of employment income up to the date of the trial. Another $273,000 was awarded for loss of future earning capacity, an amount her lawyer, Todd Brown of the Port Moody firm Maryn and Associations, said is significant considering Kalvinou’s age. The judgment recognizes that people are not necessarily retiring at age 65 anymore, he said.

University of British Columbia. While recovering, she was struck again in another rearend collision that occurred in Vancouver on March 9, 2009; the third accident happened in Burnaby on Jan. 5, 2010. In each of the accidents, the other drivers admitted they were at fault. The additional collisions reaggravated her injuries and the 60-year-old Kalvinou was eventually forced to stop working in early 2012. She was awarded $325,000 in non-pecuniary damages —

A Coquitlam woman was awarded $787,500 by a B.C. Supreme Court jury for injuries she sustained in three separate motor vehicle accidents. The amount was awarded to Katerina Kalvinou and is the largest ever for an injury known as visual vestibular mismatch, a condition that results in dizziness and can affect a person’s motion. “This has taken a lot of weight off of my shoulders,”

Kalvinou said of last week’s judgement. “This will help me to try to get my life back without having to be a burden to anyone.” The first accident occurred on Sept. 20, 2008, when Kalvinou was stopped at a red light on Barnet Highway at Lansdowne Drive and was hit from behind by a car traveling at 50 km/h. She took six weeks off from work at the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics, a research laboratory affiliated with the

But since retiring, the Port Coquitlam resident has traded criminal investigations for inquiries of another sort, diligently hunting and pecking his computer keyboard to outline his findings.

close but there are not a lot of people that frequent it. “With so many people moving on to the mountain, we thought it would be a very useful tool for a lot of people to properly explore the area.” Burke and Widgeon: A Hiker’s Guide has 260 pages and features a range of hikes with turnby-turn trail descriptions for both the novice weekend walker and the experienced hiker. Some trails described in the book only take about 20 minutes to walk while others can be com-

bined and take a weekend to complete. Each hike in the book is accompanied with at least one map, with some of the larger routes including as many as five. The book also tells hikers which areas have cellphone coverage, a crucial safety tip for anyone venturing out into the woods. Litzenburger said he got the idea for the guide in 2008, most of the exploration work was done in 2009 and 2010, and he began to seriously sit down and write in February 2011. “It’s sort of like one step forward, two steps back,” he said. “This was my first [writing] venture. If I did it again, it would probably go a lot faster. You make

your mistakes and you waste time that way.” Copies of the book will arrive next month and he hopes to sell the bulk of them through his website, www.burkeandwidgeon. com, which will be live in mid-August. While the guidebook is Litzenburger’s first foray into the world of publishing, he said it likely will not be his last. Initially, he hoped to include a few chapters in Burke and Widgeon: A Hiker’s Guide that would cover the history of the park, from its time as a logging area in the early 1900s to becoming the popular recreational destination it is today.

“I started getting into the history and I kind of got carried away,” he said.“I looked at old newspaper clippings going back to 1912 and started interviewing people. You’d talk to one person and invariably they would tell you to talk to someone else, and then someone else after that.” After conducting 71 interviews and spending more than 100 hours in the library researching, Litzenburger has decided he will spin his work into a second book. He has also collected albums worth of photographs, some of which have never been seen by the public, he said. But the most rewarding part of researching the hikers’ guide and the history project is the people he has met. Litzenburger said he has made friends with members of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and has met a number of lifelong Tri-City residents who have spent years exploring Pinecone-Burke Mountain. “Interviewing people, that is great,” he said. “They have great stories and great pictures, and everyone has been really nice. I enjoy that part of it so much.”

Teens shine for the second annual Port Moody Youth Arts Festival Stories by Janis Warren, photos by Hiu Nguyen

Mayor to open youth fest on Friday Attendees get a chance to win door prizes each night, including an iPad

ance, music, visual art and film will be featured by TriCity teens this week at the second annual Port MoodyYouth Arts Festival. The two-day event — held as part of the city’s centennial celebrations — is being organized by the Port Moody Arts Centre society board members Hilary Letwin and Fitnat

Fahrner, with the help of Susan Ius who was involved in the inaugural gala last year. Letwin said they tried to offer a varied program to attract a larger audience and “I think it’s going to be a really good showcase

in terms of the different groups out there in our community,”she said. For the two dozen or so participants, aged 13 to 18, the festival will be a good platform to promote their talent, to make connections with their peers and to build their resumes. “It’s really empowering for them,”Letwin said. And for kids in the crowd, “This is a good opportunity for them to see what teenagers are doing in the arts and in a professional setting. They can really learn from them.” Working on a shoestring budget, the organizers have had help from

THE DETAILS

• The Port Moody Youth Arts Festival runs Friday and Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. at Port Moody city hall. Admission is by donation.

Four pieces on show

Lucy Shen, Grade 12, is the emcee on Friday night.

Shawna Lee was in Grade 4 when she first saw a gallery of children’s art by Tri-City art teacher Evelia Espinosa. “I thought, ‘Wow, if they can do it then so can I,’” said the 15-year-old Coquitlam resident. Over the years, she plied her craft and is now being taught privately by painter Melanie Cossey as well as at her school, Archbishop Carney regional secondary in Port Coquitlam, under the direction of Linda Reis. Lee primarily works with acrylics and oils and, for the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival, she will have four pieces on display in the city hall Galleria: an 18-by-24-inch oil reproduction of Hunter Bonyun’s Matter of Time; two acrylic works; and eight slides done pencil crayon, depicting the stages of strawberries being eaten. Lee said she decided to apply to the festival after one of her friends played music at the event last year. “I thought, ‘Why not? I can do it, too. It’s a great way to get young artists known in the community and to showcase what I’ve been working on for the past couple of years,’”she said.

Shen shares her passion for the arts While Port Moody secondary student Lucy Shen will be on stage on Friday, she won’t have any song or dance routine to entertain the audience. Instead, Shen will use her background as a public speaker to introduce the performers. Being picked to emcee “is really cool,” she said, “because I really love the arts and I think that it’s important for young people to have an opportunity to display their talent in a public forum,” she said. Besides the arts, the Grade 12 student is also passionate about social justice causes. In March, with her PMSS friends, she founded Dare to Dream, a club that promotes gender equality around the world. In three months, it raised $400 for the Vancouver Women’s Shelter at a film festival. And next year, she hopes to collect money for a local cause: the TriCities’ Transition Centre that helps women and children flee abuse.

the city, corporate sponsors — including The Tri-City News — and volunteers to get the event off the ground. There will be plenty of goodies handed out such as door prizes and iPads. As well, on Friday when Mayor Mike Clay opens the festivities, Rocky Point Ice Cream is donating $1 from the sale of each cone to the festival for its operations.

ADOB will open the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival on Saturday with a few of their original songs plus some cover tunes.

[ you saw it first on the web

Ska-funk is in their blood www.tricitynews.com

Three years ago, while playing in their middle school concert band, drummer Eric Bates and bassist Mac Halvorsen founded ADOB. They soon recruited Theoren Nesbitt for guitar and, a little while later, Francis Henson was brought in for vocals and guitar. The band was just for fun until they clinched the top prize in a provincial-wide contest for youth bands last year.

“After that we thought, ‘We should keep doing this,’” Henson said. Since then, the Grade 11 students have been staple performers at their school — Port Moody secondary — and jamming every chance they can get. “We like to perform. It’s one of our strengths as a band. We’re just four friends who like to play together,”Henson said. The foursome write original

ska-funk songs but also like to keep their sets current with covers. They will open Saturday’s lineup with a 30-minute program, “keeping it as lively and fun and entertaining as possible,” Henson said. And he hopes the festival audience “will find us on the internet and join our fan base. We also hope to talk to them afterwards and get to know us better.”

Shawna Lee’s artwork will be displayed in the Galleria at Port Moody city hall until July 29 as part of the festival.

Student songbird “Music has always been really important for me,” Julia Montgomery starts. “It’s one of the biggest driving forces behind everything I do so whenever I get an opportunity to share it with the world, I want to jump on that because I think it’s really important.” Now 15, Montgomery said she started vocal lessons when she was in Grade 6 “after my parents finally wore down and let me take them,” she said with a laugh. But while she has been studying musical theatre privately at the Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts in Coquitlam, under Elaine Lindbjerg, Montgomery has also been penning alternative tunes of her own. Her 15-minute set on the Inlet Theatre stage on Friday night will be a combination of pop, musical theatre and her original songs. Montgomery said she’s grateful for the festival committee for providing “a deeper appreciation for the arts and all the talent that’s in Port Moody — especially from the younger people.”

Cultural shakers This will be Lia Fallah’s second time performing at the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival but the first time with a group. Last year, the Gleneagle secondary student did a solo number that wowed the crowds. “I enjoyed it so much,” the Grade 12 student said. “Of course, I wanted to come back!” For this year’s set, Fallah will be joined by her friends Gabrielle Stocker and Courtney Baines who will dance a wedding celebration to an Iranian groove. Fallah, who portrays the bride, choreographed the number with her mother and stitched the costumes. She is a little nervous that Anahita will close the festival on Saturday but is also excited at the opportunity.

We put in Pete Dubenski — our goalie that we traded for at the deadline from Nanaimo — and he took the opportunity to step up,” said Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge. D av i d e D i R u s c i o backstopped the Adanacs to a 6-5 lead before Dubenski came in and slammed the door, not allowing another goal until the final minute. “We were trading goals and it was back and forth but we had the edge in play,” said Doddridge. “We decided to change it up a bit and have them shoot on a different type of goalie. Pete’s a very athletic, reaction goalie.” Wesley Berg (4-2-6) and Reid Reinholdt (15-6) led the Adanacs’ offence, who also got scoring from Chase McIntyre (2), Challen Rogers (2), Tyler Garrison, Steven Neufeld and Cole Kryworuchka.

“With the moves we made at the deadline we’re pretty solid on offence. We’ve got 10 legitimate offensive threats and our defence is kind of coming into its own. We pride ourselves on that and we really brought it up another level towards the end of the first period of Game 2,”said Doddridge. The Adanacs opened the best-of-five series with a 13-8 win at the Coquitlam Sports Centre Saturday. “It’s always tough to start a series after 13 days off and I think maybe we were a bit rusty for a period or two of Game 1 but we found our legs and really took it to them Sunday,” said Doddridge. Vincent Ricci paced the Coquitlam attack Saturday with five goals and an assist, while Reinholdt (4-3-7), Berg (1-6-7), Sam Goodman, Ty l e r B u c h a n a n d Neufeld rounded out the scoring. “Definitely in both games we were getting contributions from all around,” said Doddridge. “It’s not all about goals, it’s about setting picks as well.” He was also pleased Coquitlam was able to limit the Shamrocks to just one power play goal in each game despite numerous opportunities.

Coquitlam Adanac Taylor Stuart battles for a loose ball in Saturday’s opening game of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League semifinal series with the Victoria Shamrocks. The Adanacs won the first two games and will be looking to sweep the series Saturday afternoon at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. “We ran into a few penalties in both games but our short-man bailed us out to say the least. We’re a young team as well so it’s good to go

through those situations.” Despite playing only two playoff games so far this season, both Berg and Reinholdt are in the top 10 in playoff scoring

Coquitlam Sports Centre. Game 4, if necessary, will go Sunday in Victoria. In the other semifinal series, the N e w We s t m i n s t e r

Salmonbellies hold a 2-0 lead over the Langley Thunder, winning the first two games 12-6 and 9-5. sports@tricitynews.com

Cards end Reds’ season

Trade brings hennig back to the express The Coquitlam Express are bringing home 18-year-old forward Jace Hennig for the 201314 B.C. Hockey League season. Hennig is a Port Moody native who has committed to play for Merrimack College in the fall of 2014. The five-foot-10, JACe Hennig 175-pound forward is looking forward to playing in front of his hometown crowd. “We are very excited to add a player like Jace Hennig,” said Express head coach Barry Wolff.“Though still a young player, he is maturing as a person and a player. We feel he has the ability to help our offence in a big way.” Hennig compiled five goals and 15 points last year in a season split between the Express and Prince George Spruce Kings. The Express shipped 19-year-old Brent Lashuk to the Spruce Kings in exchange for Hennig. Lashuk came to the Express at the end of last season as part of the future considerations in the deal that earlier sent Express captain Mitch Nardi to West Kelowna. “It was a very difficult decision to move a player like Brent Lashuk, who at the time we thought would play a big role with our hockey team for the 2013-14 season, but it is the tough part of the hockey business, and in this case we had to give up quality to get quality.“ said Wolff.

Austin MacDonald connects with a pitch during the Coquitlam Reds weekend playoff series with the Abbotsford Cardinals.

Sixteen shutout innings weren’t enough for the Coquitlam Reds to stave off elimination in the B.C. Premier Baseball League (BCPBL) playoffs. The Abbotsford Cardinals knocked off the Reds 4-1 in Sunday’s Game 3 after the teams had split the first two games of a doubleheader on Saturday. Curtis Taylor delivered a masterful performance in Saturday’s opener, giving up just one hit and striking out nine over seven innings for a 4-0 victory. Max Hollingworth went 2-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBIs, while Jordan Zazulak and Jonathan Keltie each went 2-for-3 and Austin MacDonald was 1-for-3 with two RBIs. Ryan Mose picked up where Taylor left off in Game 2, pitching a shutout into extra innings before the Cardinal bats finally came alive in the 10th.

It started innocently enough, as Liam Kano-McGregor lifted a towering pop fly between home plate and the mound. Four Reds p l aye r s c o nve r g e d , but communication proved problematic as all four stood aside and watched the ball hit the grass. After a sacrifice bunt, Jae Kim ripped a ground-rule double to score pinch runner Joel VanEe. Coleton Besse followed with an RBI single to drive in Kim and make it 2-0. Daniel Koo, who had come on in relief of Emilio Foden, shut the Reds down in the bottom of the 10th, and the series was level at 1-1. The Cards got another terrific pitching performance in Sunday’s rubber match from Kano-McGregor, who kept Coquitlam off the board for six innings. Abby made its offensive push in the fifth, as Tanner Rempel

smacked a two-run double and Kim drove him in with an RBI single. The Cards stretched the lead to 4-0 in the sixth. Kano-McGregeor got into some trouble in the seventh, giving up two quick singles, but Koo came in to pitch and limited the damage to one run as Abby won 4-1. Keltie took the loss, giving up three runs and striking out four over four innings. Austin MacDonald went 2-for-3 for the Reds, while Kevin Heidema drove in the lone Coquitlam run. In other BCPBL p l ayof f a c t i on , t h e Vancouver Cannons played the role of giant slayer, knocking off the No. 1 seed Langley Blaze in three games. They’ll be joined at the Final Four by the Nanaimo Pirates (2-0 series winners over the Victoria Mariners) and the Victoria Eagles (2-1 series winners over the North Shore Twins). sports@tricitynews.com
