Lou Boisjoli, a technician with Xtreme Environmental Solutions, is on contract with School District 43, and many other agencies, to clean up graffiti. According to the district, graffiti is a growing problem as taggers use commercial-grade paint on school buildings and other infrastructure. Boisjoli uses concentrated chemicals to remove and neutralize the paint, then hoses off the residue with water.

Eagle eyes to stop vandals SD43 looks to reduce its repair costs By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A campaign to encourage more eyes on schools and parks this summer has resulted in more Vandal Watch participants and a greater interest in protecting public property, says co-ordinator Tim Kelley. “We are looking for dog walkers and neighbours and people who use schools and parks to keep an eye out,” said Kelley, who runs a program for Port Coquitlam and School District 43 to deter vandalism. The ad campaign, which ran in The Tri-City News in June, resulted in new interest in the program that has run for many years to encourage people to report potential problems before they occur so security personnel can respond. (Kelley said people interested in participating should email him at vandalwatch@hotmail.com.) see REPAIRS COSTLY, page 5

Thieves go postal on Westwood Plateau Canada Post says it will test stronger boxes here By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is calling on Canada Post to do a better job of securing community mailboxes after a major break-in over the weekend on Westwood Plateau. Police confirmed that approximately a dozen boxes were hit at Plateau and Parkway Boulevard

and investigators are still trying to determine exactly when the theft ocSTEWART curred and what was taken. Stewart told The TriCity News yesterday that more needs to be done to protect the mailboxes, which often contain personal information, such as IDs and credit cards, that can be used by identity thieves. “They have to make

these things secure or find another way to get people their mail,” he said. “We have the RCMP telling people not to leave valuables in their car, yet we are leaving valuables in a metal box on the side of the road... This isn’t an acceptable situation.” He added that the mail delivery system is twotiered, with older neighbourhoods in Coquitlam, Vancouver and Burnaby getting door-to-door service while newer areas rely on community mailboxes. Further exacerbating

Stewart’s frustrations is a recent Canada Post decision to charge developers $200 per home for the cost of installing community mailboxes. “It’s blatantly unfair,” he said. “One segment of the population gets to subsidize the folks in Vancouver and Burnaby.” Stewart wants to see stronger mailboxes as well as the use of some type of photographic or video surveillance. An alarm system would also help, he added. see MAILBOXES, page 6

Beam crushes truck but driver not seriously hurt Driver ‘lucky’ not to be killed: chief By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

A man is lucky to be alive after the gar-

bage truck he was driving struck a beam at Coquitlam Centre last Friday morning, causing it to fall on top of his vehicle. The driver reportedly failed to lower the bin on the vehicle before pulling

away from the mall and it clipped the beam. Coquitlam Fire Chief Wade Pierlot said emergency crews had to cut open the back of the truck to extract the man, who was conscious throughout the rescue,

even making a 911 call while trapped. He was later taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. “The guy was extremely lucky that he wasn’t killed outright when that thing col-

lapsed,”Pierlot said. “A lot of things aligned for us. These types of things usually don’t go that well.” A small fire broke out initially and mall staff were able to put it out and assist the man until

firefighters arrived. Once on scene, fire crews were able to quickly tear through the back of the truck and pull the man to safety. “I think it was a real co-operative effort,” Pierlot said. “It was nice

Water woes for Hyde Creek fish, volunteers By Gary McKenna & Diane Strandberg

PLANT REMOVAL

Volunteers will be needed this weekend when the Hyde Creek Watershed Society hosts its invasive plant removal event along the creek. Many species of plants, including English ivy and laniums, choke out the natural trees in the area, decreasing the amount of shade covering the stream. Members of the public are encouraged to volunteer for the program, which will meet at the hatchery (3636 Coast Meridian Rd.) on Saturday, Aug. 10 between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. Participants should bring gloves and long pants, and will be treated to coffee and a tour of the hatchery. For more information go to www.hydecreek. org.

The Tri-CiTy News

Last week’s cool, refreshing rain meant death to hundreds of fish in Hyde Creek in Port Coquitlam. Members of the Hyde Creek Watershed Society arrived for volunteer duties Saturday to find 840 dead salmon fry in the creek between Coast Meridian road and the Hyde Creek recreation centre. “It was very disappointing,” society president Cliff Kelsey said of the devastation that was probably caused by a concentration of pollutants from road runoff. Black water that collected in pools containing the dead fish was sent to a lab for confirmation but it was likely oil and other residue from the road that killed the salmon. The fish kill comes as volunteers have been putting in extra hours to save salmon fry stuck in shallow pools. With stream levels dropping, many fish get stuck in the pools and need to be helped along to deeper portions of the creek. J e a n Pe a c h m a n , a director with the Hyde Creek Watershed Society, said hatchery volunteers have been busy taking fry from areas where the stream is drying up and taking them to deeper basins. “A few of our members know what pools are going to dry up,” she told The Tri-City News.

SHORELINE CLEANUP

A stewardship group is seeking volunteers for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup that takes place Saturday, Sept. 21. Port Moody Ecological Society will be organizing a cleanup of the shoreline around Port Moody Inlet.Volunteers are needed for registration and sorting among other things. You can sign up online at noonscreek.org; go to Creek Crier — July 2013 and click on Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.

JEAN PEAChMAN PhOtOS

Hyde Creek Watershed Society volunteers recently moved salmon fry stuck in shallow pools as a result of a long spate of dry weather. But last week’s rains also caused the fish problems “They get in there with buckets and nets and grab as many as we can get.” Because coho fry tend to stay in fresh water longer than other salmon, they are often in the creek during the warmest months of the year.

That means that hatchery workers have to pull as many fish as they can, relocating them from one pool to another, while estimating where water levels are going to go. Peachman said netwielding volunteers usually scan the creek two to

three times a week in an effort to save as many of the fry as possible. “It just helps the numbers [of fish] in the system,”she said. Although dry weather has resulted in low water levels in the creek, the salmon pond where

coho fry overwinter remains deep and clean, thanks to a well that was recently dug to provide fresh water. Kelsey said the work the volunteers do pays off because coho salmon have been returning to the creek in greater num-

bers. Until two years ago, returning salmon were rare and hard to find but the last two years has seen numbers of spawning pairs returning to their home creek. “It’s been heartening to see our numbers have increased dramatically,”

Kelsey said. However, he noted that the recent fish kill underscores how important it is for the community to keep pollutants out of creeks and streams. gmckenna@tricitynews.com dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Metro Van to jack utility fees 23% over five years Drinking water, sewer projects drive regional costs up By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Sharply rising costs to upgrade Metro Vancouver’s sewer and water system will translate into steadily rising utility fees for the region’s residents. A new five-year forecast tabled by the regional district shows overall regional levies are expected to climb 23% by 2018, costing the average household nearly $100 more than today. The average $725,000 home that paid $418 for regional utilities this year will see that rise to $430 next year — a 2.9% increase — and a projected $516 by 2018. “It’s a little bit disturbing,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said of the nearly 25% increase in utility fees over five years, adding that’s far more than the rate of increase of property taxes from most local cities.

“We would be crucified at our end if we were to throw out those numbers,” Baldwin said at a recent meeting of Metro’s finance committee. Regional water servicing costs are slated to rise from $147 per average household now to $152 in 2014 and reach $189 by 2018, reflecting increases of around 8% in the next four years. Cost drivers include t h e n ew S ey m o u rCapilano Filtration Project, adding ultraviolet drinking water disinfection to the Coquitlam source and building new tunnels beneath the Fraser River to carry drinking water to Surrey. The sewage system — where rising federal standards are forcing Metro to rebuild two treatment plants — is pushing sewer levy hikes from $171 now to $216 by 2018. The sewage cost projection is considered tentative because regional district officials don’t yet know how much of the $1.7-billion-plus price tag for new treatment plants might come from

senior governments. And the regional board is also contemplating changing the formula that apportions sewage upgrade costs across the region — as a result the actual household impact could vary wildly depending on each city’s share. Although Metro Vancouver has forecast soaring garbage tipping fees — rising from $107 per tonne now to $150 and beyond in the coming years as it builds a new waste-to-energy plant — that’s not expected to bite as deeply at the household level. The solid waste levy is projected to translate into an increase from $60 per household now to $66 by 2018. That’s because organic waste collection and other recycling gains are expected to mean households generally will produce less garbage that incurs tipping fees in the years ahead. The levy for the main regional district budget — which mostly goes to run Metro regional parks and to pay for planning and adminis-

tration costs — is projected to rise slightly from $40 per household to $45 by 2018. Some Metro Vancouver directors want the region to look at increasing regional development cost charges, which haven’t changed in several years, as one way of generating more revenue. And Delta Mayor Lois Jackson questioned why Metro Vancouver still owns the Ashcroft ranch — which it once intended to turn into a new landfill until it was blocked by the province and opposing First Nations. “We should be getting taxpayers value out of that land,” Jackson said. “We’re not in the business of running ranches. Taxpayers’ dollars are sitting out there.” Metro officials said the ranch continues to run and is covering its operating costs. They said the region had been holding off on trying to sell the land due to low real estate prices but will review the decision this fall.

Repairs costly continued from front page

Heightened awareness during summer is key, say SD43 officials, because while window breakage is down, vandal repair costs are still high, and graffiti is becoming a more common problem at school facilities. Each year, the district spends more than $100,000 to repair broken windows and clean up graffiti, the equivalent of hiring a teacher in the classroom. “If there was less vandalism, more money would be available to the classroom,” said Ken Niven, the district’s assistant director of maintenance. Vandalism does take its toll on local schools. Minnekhada middle in Port Coquitlam, for example, was recently hit by vandals and had 17 windows broken. They were quickly repaired

and last week, a graffiti removal contractor was out at the lacrosse box behind the school repairing damage. “Some schools are just more prone to vandalism,” Niven said, noting efforts to beef up security will be part of antivandalism methods this summer. The district has a 24-hour patrol checking out trouble spots at its 76 facilities, in addition to Vandal Watch patrols responding to neighbours’ complaints. A s we l l , s c r e e n s have been placed on some of the windows at Minnekhada to prevent breakage. “With our Vandal Wat c h p ro g ra m i n place, we would like to see more neighbours at schools calling in when they see groups of youths or acts of vandalism,” Niven said.

Tri-City News Wednesday, August 7, 2013, A5

BY THE NUMBERS

School District 43 doesn’t yet have the figures for vandalism repair costs for this year but has spent more than $500,000 in the last five years. Here is the breakdown:

• 2011/’12 — $105,026 • 2010/’11 — $112,545 • 2009/’10 — $97,924 • 2008/’09 — $105,606 • 2007/’08 — $137,840

THE PROBLEM

SD43 spends about $70,000 a year to repair windows and $30,000 on graffiti clean-up, with a one-man graffiti crew working five days a week. The goal for graffiti clean-up at schools is to concentrate on messages that are profane, constitute hate-speech or are directed towards an individual.

Mailboxes safe for most: Canada Post continued from front page

Jo n H a m i l t o n , a spokesperson for Canada Post, said while some break-ins do occur at community mailboxes, it is still a safe way to deliver the mail. He also said the Crown corporation is working on a new community mailbox that will be tested in Coquitlam. “For the vast majority of people that receive

their mail in a community mailboxes, it is safe and secure,” he said. “At the same time, we are always looking to try and stay a step ahead of the folks that will unfortunately break the law.” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police are still investigating Monday’s mailbox breakin. Residents should report all suspicious activity around mailboxes and make sure they clear out

their mail daily. “If there is nothing in the mailbox it is less likely that the thief will return to the mailbox,” he said.

A Talon rescue chopper participates in a search on Burke Mountain. According to numbers tabulated by Coquitlam Search and Rescue, the search team is the sixth busiest in British Columbia.

A Coquitlam blogger spent more than 100 hours tabulating search and rescue (SAR) call numbers for the past 10 years, which has shown this city’s volunteer team is the sixth busiest in the province. “It was just sort of out of curiosity,” said Michael Coyle, who posted the information on his blog, Oploplanax Horridus (blog.oplopanax.ca), last week. “I was interested in what the [call volume] picture is province-wide.” Some search and rescue teams don’t keep track and catalogue their call-outs, which means the true numbers could be somewhat different.

SAY YES TO

604-464-8818

Coyle downloaded data from Emergency Management B.C. for 2003 to 2012 and it showed that out of 80 SAR groups in B.C., the top 10 are, in order (including their average number of calls per year): • North Shore Rescue (82.7); • Chilliwack (66.7); • Kent-Harrison (44.5); • Squamish (43.8); • Golden (38.7); • Coquitlam (35); • Nelson (33.9); • Vernon (33.1); • Penticton (32.6); • and Central Fraser Valley (31.3). “I was pretty confident that North Shore Rescue was the busiest,” he said, although he admitted he was“a bit surprised Kent-

Harrison was that busy.” Coyle assumes the terrain in certain areas — whitewater rivers, high mountains, etc. — draws more calls for service. Coquitlam is likely lower in the rankings because while there are mountains in the local SAR team’s response area, many “don’t have roads to the top and there are fewer 4x4 vehicles. “We do have remote areas, but most of the people who go there are usually well prepared,” said Coyle. The first set of eight years’ worth of data took Coyle about 100 hours to compile while the final two years substantially less. Coyle, himself a member of Coquitlam SAR,

hopes the data will be used to better educate the public about their local teams. “Search and rescue in B.C. is not just what happens in Vancouver,” he said. Often teams frequently in the media spotlight receive more donations than some of the smaller groups, which isn’t always equitable given the high number of calls to which the outlying teams respond. Coyle also wants government to start making call reporting mandatory, which would show trends and help SAR focus on what type of equipment and training each group should work towards.

Lawsuit launched in Pickton case By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The family of one of the women whose DNA was found on the Pickton property in Port Coquitlam has launched a lawsuit against the Vancouver Police Department and the RCMP. S h a r i a n d R ya n Murdock, the children of Jacqueline Murdock, filed a notice of civil claim against the the province and the city of Vancouver, alleging police were aware or should have been aware that a serial predator was attacking sex workers in the Downtown Eastside. (They’ve also filed suit against Robert Pickton.) “[The] VPD and RCMP failed to warn Jacqueline and others of the risk of a serial killer,” said the document. “The failure to warn by VPD and RCMP was a contributing cause of Jacqueline’s death and caused harm to the plaintiffs.” Pickton was never convicted in the death of Murdock but her DNA was found on the property in a similar manner to that of the six women he was convicted of killing. In 2010, the Crown stayed the charges

An artist’s rendering of Robert Pickton during his trial in 2006. against Pickton for the murders of the remaining 20 women after he received a life sentence with no possibility of parole for 25 years for the murders of Sereena A b o t s w a y, M a r n i e Frey, Andrea Joesbury, Georgina Papin, Mona Wilson and Brenda Wolfe. Court documents describe Murdock as a “friendly and caring” person who enjoyed writing poetry. She lived in the Downtown Eastside and had contact with her children, who were raised by their grandparents in Prince George, while she battled addiction issues. “Jacqueline always remained hopeful she would overcome her addiction and had made efforts to seek treatment and rehabilitation,” said the notice of civil claim. “She intended to resume

living with Shari and Ryan and caring for them once she had recovered.” Murdock was last seen leaving Prince George for Vancouver in November 1996 and was reported missing on Aug. 14, 1997. Her missing person’s file was closed in 1997, when police received erroneous information that she had been admitted to St. Paul’s Hospital. When that information proved to be incorrect, the file was reopened in March 1998. The Murdocks are seeking general, special, aggravated and punitive damages as well as costs. They are the sixth family to launch a lawsuit against the government, alleging police did not take the time to properly investigate the missing women’s cases. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Louise Meranger, 79, a resident of Eagle Ridge Manor in Port Moody, surfs the web daily and regularly uses Facebook and Skype to connect with her husband, her daughters and, sometimes, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Skyping seniors connected Eagle Ridge Manor residents use tech to keep up with family By Jason Roessle ThE TRi-CiTy NEws

Technology is helping keep seniors at Eagle Ridge Manor mentally engaged and connected with family and friends. Thanks to a $6,000 donation from the Port Moody Rotary Club, the Resident Connections Project at seniors’ facility on the Eagle Ridge Hospital grounds enabled Wi-Fi access for residents and guests. That lets residents use Skype, an internet phone and video chat service. Manor residents now also have access to Microsoft Surface tab-

lets that are used to play mentally stimulating games and therapeutic activities. Research has shown that some applications can open up a new world of communication for residents with dementia or stroke. Louise Meranger, a three-year resident at the Manor from Coquitlam, uses these new services about three hours a day. The 79-year-old’s four children got together and purchased her a laptop about a year ago, even though Meranger admits that she was “never interested” in computers before. But she quickly took to the computer and now uses Facebook and Skype, and surfs the web daily. Meranger said she enjoys the games too, counting Words With Friends among her favourites.

“Skype is wonderful,” said Meranger, who encourages peers to cast aside their reservations about the technology. “Even if that’s the only thing you learn — and it’s not too hard to learn.” Meranger chats with her husband of nearly 60 years daily as well as her daughters, and sometimes her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She says loneliness compelled her to open up to the opportunity. “I just played around with it. If at 80 years old I can do it, anyone can,” she said. “Being able to see their loved ones [via video chat] can make a significant difference between feeling alone or connected for residents and their families,” said Eagle Ridge Hospital’s Charlene Giovannetti-

King. “This kind of new technology can keep families closer together and improve quality of life for the resident in long-term care.” Installation of a data drop into the manor’s conference room now lets residents’ family members who can’t attend care conferences in person to participate by teleconference. “It is important to have good communication between residents, families and the care team so that an optimal care plan can be developed,” explained Melanie Leckovic, Manor manager. “Families will now be able to have better dialogue with the care team, and more input concerning the care planning of their loved one in residence.” jroessle@tricitynews.com

Costly addiction

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

hey’re called smartphones but the way some people use them is anything but smart, giving us all legitimate cause for concern about public safety. A new poll that shows that 64% of adults in B.C. own a smartphone also reveals, more disturbingly, that about 18% of those who do consider themselves “strongly addicted to the device.” Predictably, the majority who placed themselves in that particular category describe their addiction as “manageable.” It’s a rare addict, after all, who acknowledges his or her addiction — whatever it is — is galloping out of control. That all changes, of course, when the addict is faced with incontrovertible evidence — usually some severe crisis or tragedy — that calls for an immediate change in behaviour. The question is, should we, as a society, be expected to pay the price of such a crisis or tragedy? Particularly when it’s something like an accident caused by driving without due care and attention? Smartphones offer entertainment and information through a multitude of apps, and they have very practical uses in terms of communication, particularly in emergencies, that have, so far, merely scratched the surface of their potential. But it’s no news they also function as a distraction. According to the recent poll, those who describe themselves as addicted estimate they spend an average of 2.5 of their waking hours staring at their diminutive keypads and screens. If that 2.5 hours were spent in one block of time, it might be a different matter but it’s spread throughout the day, usually while the users are multitasking in some way. We should all be more aware of the imminent dangers such devices present and to make sure that we are actually controlling them — not the other way around. The human animal is flawed and there is always the temptation to make just one short call, check one detail, complete a half-finished text or glance at that incoming message. A quick look, a few more words, just this once — who could it hurt? The answer is not only ourselves but many others, too. – Peace Arch News (Black Press)

B.C. aboriginal progress can be fragile process BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he ceremonies have become common at the B.C. legislature. Government officials and aboriginal leaders gather to celebrate resourcesharing agreements that allow economic development in areas that need employment but are hampered by a century of uncertainty and dispute over treaties, or lack thereof. This approach emerged a decade ago with forest agreements. The BC Liberal government bought back timber-cutting licences from big forest firms and made them available for community forests and aboriginal communities that claimed the areas as their traditional territories. Recently, the approach was extended to mining revenues and water licence fees paid by private power developers. These are substantial steps forward for the

only province in Canada in treaty limbo. A 2010 sharing deal worth more than $30 million in royalties for the Mount Milligan coppergold mine north of Prince George helped the McLeod Lake Indian Band recover from the pine beetle and forestry slump that devastated its business base. After many years of struggle, Mount Milligan expects to go into production this year. Another agreement with Kamloops-area communities shared revenues from an expanded Afton mine. Perhaps the most ambitious agreement was concluded in March of this year when the government signed a deal with the Tahltan Nation for mining and hydroelectric development in remote northwestern B.C.The deal clears the way for a major extension of the BC Hydro grid to power the Tahltan village of Iskut and the Red Chris metal mine, opening up the region to other mining and hydro potential as well. To get that deal, the province put up $20 million last year to buy back Shell Canada’s coalbed gas leases in the Klappan region, headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine

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

Rivers. Those leases had become a target of international protest. Even after these expensive concessions, it would be an error to conclude that all is well between the Tahltan and the province. Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson questioned Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad on this point during the recent legislature session. The Tahltan Central Council was pleased about shared decision-making on resource projects until it found out that B.C. had handed the environmental assessment of a new openpit coal mine over to the federal government. The proposed mine is in the Klappan, known around the world as the Sacred Headwaters. Rustad said shared decision-making deals such as the Tahltan agreement do not cover activities of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or combined, it requires extensive consultation with affected parties. That’s great but all that goodwill could evaporate quickly if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections. Rustad’s Nechako Lakes constituency is

also a focal point for oil and gas pipeline proposals. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year, the government signed a reconciliation agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process. That agreement included a joint land-use plan. Then the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines. The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hard-won reconciliation agreement. Resource revenue-sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

Art history makes for good lit A GOOD READ Dennis Neumann

murder investigation of a museum curator.The body is found in a gallery before a DaVinci drawing and paintings. Before long, Langdon finds himself chased by assailants from secret societies and the Catholic church while trying to follow a trail of clues. Brown mentions many different works of art and historical buildings, which makes the special illustrated edition an even more intriguing read. Sadly, few of Da Vinci’s works remain in existence for various reasons, though one of his celebrated contemporaries, Raphael, was much more prolific.The painter Raphael left a legacy of art to the world and a mystery surrounding one of his works is the genesis of the story of The Raphael Affair by Iain Pears. Art historian Jonathan Argyll has been caught trying to break into a church in Rome and the case is assigned to Flavia di Stefano, an investigator with the polizia’s art theft squad. Argyll claims the church has a lost Raphael hidden beneath the paint of another work but the picture vanishes, only to

da Vinci, Raphael make appearances in fictional works

oday’s selections have an art history theme that run the gamut from biographies to fiction thrillers, and take the reader from Renaissance Italy to the rainy streets of Zurich. “The Last Supper” by Leonardo daVinci is one of the most famous and iconic images of the Italian Renaissance. It has been reproduced numerous times, from refrigerator magnets to prints gracing the dining room walls in our own homes. Ross King’s Leonardo and the Last Supper weaves together the process of the painting’s planning and execution on the wall of a monastery in Milan with political intrigues of the Milanese court and shares with the reader little-known facts. For example, the commission was given to Leonardo as a consolation prize when the bronze for a sculpture he was to make

was instead used to make cannons. King also examines the figure of St John and gently pokes fun at Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, whose characters claim that it is actually the figure of Mary Magdalene. After completing his preeminent work, DaVinci lived out his final years in France. Published in 2003, The Da Vinci Code has been translated from English into 44 languages and was made into the 2006 film of the same name starring Tom Hanks. This is the second book in his series featuring the character Robert Langdon. A prominent symbologist, Langdon is called by the Paris police for his assistance in the

turn up in the hands of a British dealer. It’s up to di Stefano and Argyll to solve the case while staying alive. The Raphael Affair is the first book of Pears’ Jonathan Argyll series. Another lost Raphael makes an appearance in Daniel Silva’s The English Assassin, which is Silva’s second novel featuring Gabriel Allon. Art restorer Mario Delvecchio has received a commission to restore the“Portrait of aYoung Man”in Zurich. When he arrives in Zurich to start work, he finds instructions and security codes to enter his patron’s residence but as he examines the painting, he realizes the carpet he is standing on is soaked in blood. Delvecchio, a.k.a. Gabriel Allon, Israeli spy and assassin, finds himself accused of murder and battling a foe that he helped train.The real “Portrait of aYoung Man” was stolen by the Nazis in Poland and disappeared for nearly 70 years. It was featured prominently in a 1996 Simpsons episode and in 2012, the Polish government announced that it had been located in an undisclosed bank

Al fresco flicks Take advantage of the warm nights by cuddling up in a blanket to watch outdoor movies this weekend in the TriCities. On F r i d a y, the city of Port Coquitlam will roll out its giant silver screen for the third time this summer to show The Amazing SpiderMan at Gates Park (located north of Riverside secondary school). The 2012 flick stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as the American superhero (aka Peter Parker) and Gwen Stacy as they fight The Lizard, his father’s former business partner. The event starts at 8:30 p.m. and is sponsored in part by G&F Financial, which is supplying free popcorn and raffle prizes such as super soaker water guns, blankets and movie passes. Visit portcoquitlam.ca. And on Saturday night, the Port Moody Film Society will host an indoor/outdoor double feature, starting in the Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Dr.) at 7:30 p.m. with The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Also made last year, the movie features Logan Lerman as 15-yearold Charlie coping with his first love (portrayed by Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend and his own mental illness. And, at 9:30 p.m., the audience will move to the amphitheatre behind city hall for How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, a 2008 comedy based on Toby Young’s memoir about a British writer who tries to fit in at a high-profile magazine in New York City. It stars Kelan Pannell, Simon Pegg and Megan Fox. Tickets are $5 per film plus a $5 annual membership fee to the society. Visit www.pmfilm.ca.

Jon-Paul Walden, executive director of the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam, where construction crews are busy laying the ground work for the Evergreen Line terminus. The rapidtransit system is due to be up and running through Coquitlam and Port Moody by the summer of 2016.

Rapid transit not slowing ECC By Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

ast month, when Evergreen Line construction crews started digging up the front parking lot of Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre, staff at the arts facility were a little taken back. “I mean, we knew it was going to happen but on the first day, we thought, ‘Wow, this is really happening! Things are going to be different around here,’” said Jon-Paul Walden, ECC’s executive director, while surveying the equipment last week. Indeed, almost half of the ECC parking lot along Pinetree Way has been fenced off for road and utility works on the rapid-transit terminus, called the Lafarge Lake-Douglas — a station that, when built, will stretch from Guildford Way to Town Centre Boulevard. ECC’s south entrance to the rehearsal hall was closed off while a new access to the back was made for westbound commuters. And soon its digital reader board at the corner of Pinetree and Guildford ways will be relocated. It’s only just the beginning. Over the next 2.5 years, from Monday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., construction will be intense, especially as the pile driving begins down Pinetree Way for the guideways and stations. Luckily, Walden and his staff have been kept in the loop by the city, builders EGRT Construction and TransLink about what will happen each month. And they, too, have been trying to coordinate their schedules and programs to ensure ECC users and patrons are also in the know and aren’t impacted

We expect this to be happening for a long time and we are asking patrons for their patience, to come earlier to their shows and events, especially during rainy days or at night.” Walden stressed pedestrians who used to cut across Pinetree Way to get to ECC will have to take the signalized crosswalk at Pinetree and Guildford ways. “Everyone needs to be more vigilant when heavy machinery is so active

and close by,”he said. With operations slower during July and August, traffic to ECC isn’t what it normally is; however, last month, staff got an idea how patrons navigated the reconfigured parking lot when the facility hosted two Music on the Grill concerts. “There were no disruptions,” Walden said, with a shrug. “Everyone made do.” As for next season, which ramps up in September, Walden said ECC is offering a theatre series that includes: • Boeing-Boeing (Arts Club Theatre on Tour) in October; • Deck (Pilot.co.Pilot Theatre) in

November; • A Christmas Carol (Motus O dance theatre) in December; • Driving Miss Daisy (Arts Club Theatre on Tour) in January; • Chelsea Hotel (Arts Club Theatre on Tour) in March; • The Snides of March (Double Exposure) in March; • and Holmes and Watson Save the Empire (Ace Productions) in April. As well, several arts groups rent ECC facilities throughout the year for classes, workshops and performances — among them, Place des Arts, Stage 43, Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Coastal Sound Music Academy, Coquitlam Youth Orchestra and Douglas College. Opened in 1996, ECC is owned by the city and operated by a society. It includes a 257-seat black box theatre, a rehearsal hall, three art studios and a 1,500-sq. ft. art gallery. Walden said his goal is to see ECC become a destination arts hub for the Tri-Cities — one that will include a 550seat playhouse, a proposal that’s been on the books for years. “We continue to see the Evergreen Line as a great thing that will bring more people to this area,” he said. “It will be a dynamic system and we are extremely excited this is here... But these are early days for us [for the work] and we want to ensure the public knows we are open for business. This construction will not slow us down.” • For more information about the Evergreen Line project, visit evergreenline.gov.bc.ca or, for traffic updates, call 604-927-2080 or email info@evergreenline.gov.bc.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

ROCKERS

Pigeon Park, whose band members graduated from Centennial and Heritage Woods secondary schools, released its fourtrack EP yesterday (Tuesday). The fivemember band from Coquitlam and Port Moody will perform Thursday night at Venue in Vancouver.

A darker sound for Pigeon Park By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Listeners to the new EP released yesterday by the Tri-City-based rock band Pigeon Park can expect a little darker sound than with previous albums. Its four-track EP, titled Black Widow, is inspired by a recent story of an elderly Nova Scotia woman who was known to poison her lovers, two of whom died. Pigeon Park penned a song about her, which is the title tune on Black Widow. “It’s very symbolistic about our music right

now: It’s dirtier, heavier and more aggressive,” guitarist Kevin Okabe said. “It’s still classic rock but with a twist.” Black Widow was recorded this spring at the home of Port Moody music producer Jordan Oorebeek. It is their third release in as many years: In 2011, while on a crossCanada tour, it cut 12 original songs for The Sun in Windsor, Ont. L a s t y e a r, t h e Centennial and Heritage Woods grads came out with a self-titled EP. To m o r r o w n i g h t , Pigeon Park will perform at its CD release party at

Venue (881 Granville St., Vancouver) with Whoa! She’s a Babe, The Slovos and No Century. But there won’t be any rest afterwards for the band, which is made up of Coquitlam residents Okabe, Nick Weber (vocals), Artur Leppert (bass) and Hunter Elliott (drummer), and Logan Pacholok (guitar/vocals) of Port Moody. On Aug. 15, it will play the Roxy as part of The Fox 99.3 FM Seeds contest, of which it’s once again a Top 20 finalist. And later this month, Pigeon Park will promote its EP in Edmonton, Saskatoon,

Crowsnest Pass, Calgary and Kelowna. “We’re really pleased with the album and the way it has come out,” Okabe said in a phone interview last week. “It’s definitely more true to

who we are as artists.” • For tickets to the EP release show, visit venuelive.ca or pigeonparkmusic.com. To purchase the EP, visit iTunes or Amazon.

G. Bernardo I am in the band Community Trees. Our aim is to assist in the becoming awake of the light that dwells and embers within us all, with the help of music--which is for me, forever a passion.

Junior Adanacs jump out to series lead By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

A second-period explosion helped lift the Coquitlam Adanacs past the N e w We s t m i n s t e r Salmonbellies 9-7 in the first game of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League finals. After falling behind 3-2 in the opening frame, Coquitlam struck for seven second-period goals to take a 9-5 lead heading into the final 20 minutes. “We weren’t happy with our first period after having a bit of a layoff. We’ve lost the first period all through the playoffs. It’s not like they were dominating, we outshot them,” said head coach Neil Doddridge, who lit a fire under his team during the first intermission. “Whatever was said I guess it got their attention.” Doddridge said the Adanacs’ second-period outburst is a glimpse of the way he thinks his team is capable of playing. “To respond the way we did was a good sign,” he said. “Both these teams are good, there’s not a lot separating them. We both have really good goaltending. I believe our defence is quite strong and they have quite a lot of offensive talent on their team and I think there is the battle right there.” Tyler Garrison led the Coquitlam attack with two goals and two assists, with Evan

Wortley also supplying a pair and singles going to Wesley Berg, Jake Taylor, Cole Shafer, Challen Rogers and Andy Taylor. Davide DiRuscio made 35 saves in the win. Friday’s game ended on a bad note with the Salmonbellies Daniel Perreault given a major for high sticking in the final minute, with 19 minutes in penalties handed out to both sides. “There was some stuff at the end of the game that was uncalled for. I’ve been involved in the game long enough to know that shouldn’t happen. It doesn’t need to be there,” said Doddridge. The teams squared off in New Westminster Tu e s d ay n i g h t b e fore heading to the Coquitlam Sports Centre for Game 3 tonight at 7:30 p.m. Both teams have already earned a spot at this year’s Minto Cup, which runs Aug. 17-26 at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena. “I’ve never been in a situation where you’re already in (the Minto Cup). Usually you’re playing to get into the Minto Cup and everything’s on the line,” said Doddridge, who has been rotating players through the lineup in an attempt to keep everyone fresh. “It’s a different dynamic.”

Coquitlam Adanacs Tyler Buchan moves in for a shot on the New Westminster Salmonbellies net in Game 1 of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League finals. game of the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs. Former Adanac Dane Dobbie netted the winner for the Langley Thunder who took a 1-0 series lead with a 10-8 win Thursday night. The Thunder jumped out to a 7-2 lead after one period but Coquitlam responded with six unanswered second-period goals to take an 8-7 lead into the final frame.

“I think Langley got a little overconfident and I think we just picked our game up a little bit and the ball started going in,” said head coach Bob Salt. But the tide turned again when former Adanac Nick Rose replaced Brodie MacDonald in the Langley net after Darryl Veltman’s second goal of the night made it 8-7 with 4:41 remaining in the second.

“They put Rosey in and we just couldn’t score and I don’t understand that because these guys have shot on Rosey for a couple of years,” said Salt. Rose stopped all 15 shots he faced wh i l e A d a m S h u t e turned aside 36 shots in the Coquitlam net. Brandon Goodwin with a pair, Brett Hickey, Matthew Dinsdale, Brad Richardson and Jeff Sproule also

scored for the Adanacs. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series went Tuesday night with Game 3 set for Thursday in Langley. “I think we’ve got to come out and play better in the first period. We can’t give them a five- or six-goal lead and expect to win the game,” said Salt. He’s pleased with the way his young team battled on the road, staying within

one (with the final goal coming on an empty net) of the league’s dominant club. “If we can get to Game 6 I really like our chances,” said Salt. “The longer the series goes the better our chances.” The Vi c t o r i a Shamrocks knocked off the Burnaby Lakers 12-8 in the opening game of the other WLA series. sports@tricitynews.com

Tri-Cities plays host to provincial swimming championships By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Swimmers from around the province will soon begin flooding into the Tri-Cities. More than 1,200 athletes and hundreds of coaches and vo l u n t e e r s w i l l b e in Coquitlam next

we e k f o r t h e B . C . Summer Swimming Association Provincial Championships. Athletes aged from eight to 18 from 60 different clubs will compete in speed swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and water polo from Aug. 12-18 at Spani

Outdoor Pool and the City Centre Aquatic Complex. “BCSSA is thrilled to be returning to Coquitlam for this year’s provincial championships, which culminate our summer swimming season,” said Kerry Sheppard, BCSSA president.

More than 5,000 people are expected to be coming to support the athletes in Coquitlam, which last hosted the provincials in 2000. Planning for the event has been going on for over a year, led by a local committee with support from the provincial governing body.

“The local organizing committee has worked long and hard to put together a tremendous event, and we are grateful to the wonderful people of Coquitlam and the TriCities area for their co-operation and assistance and for their enthusiastic welcome to

our athletes, families and volunteers,” said Sheppard. “Spectators are welcome — we promise a fabulous week of aquatic competition, sportsmanship and fun.” Athletes will be coming from eight regions and represent 60 different clubs, with 900

Sporting goods sale will raise money for KidSport By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City families will soon have the chance to get some amazing deals on sports equipment while helping their neighbours get into the game. The KidSport TriCities used sporting goods sale is set for Aug. 17 at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. “It’s great because people get a chance to do something with their gear that’s just taking up space in their garage or basement. People can get stuff at a really reasonable price,” said organizer Chris Wilson. He said a comparison performed last year showed the cost to equip a 10- to 12-yearold for hockey runs at about $650 plus tax. That same gear will cost about $100 at the KidSport sale, and you also save the tax. “Especially with young kids who grow out of things so quickly, it’s a great opportunity for families to save a ton of money,” said Wilson. One of the biggest challenges for the event, according to Wilson, is having to store the

equipment that isn’t sold. “Last sale had more than a five-ton moving truck of equipment left over so we’re really trying to get more people out so we can sell more and help more kids.” That equipment is all donated by the community, with a number of drop-off locations set up throughout the TriCities. Until Aug. 9, sporting goods can be dropped off at Centennial Secondary or Gleneagle Secondary. From Aug. 7-16, equipment can be donated at the Port Coquitlam rec centre, Port Moody rec centre, Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex o r Th r i f t o p o l i s o n Lougheed Highway. KidSport will accept all types of sporting goods, from hockey and lacrosse gear to skis and fitness equipment. “Lacrosse is such a popular sport in the Tri-Cities and we just always struggle to get enough lacrosse gear. I think part of it is that it lasts a little longer, it’s harder to find initially so people tend to horde it a little bit,” said Wilson, adding bikes are another popular

item with shoppers. “We usually get 50-60 bikes and they’re usually gone in the first hour.” Last year’s two sales — one is held in March as well as in the summer — each brought in about $17,000 and Wilson is aiming to reach $25,000 this time around, enough to help out more than 100 local children. “It makes a big difference. In 2012 we gave out 609 grants worth almost $125,000, so we need to keep raising a ton of money.” Wilson said KidSport addresses the challenge faced by so many families coping with rising registration fees and equipment costs. Those costs are only compounded by the additional expenses that crop up over the season. “We can pay registration fees, we can provide your equipment really cheap and then hopefully the family can manage the tournament fees and other costs,” he said. The sale will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 17, with admission by donation to the food bank.

INFORMATION

DEAR Parents: During the summer and fall of 2013, students in 5th and 6th grade will participate in an IRB approved study to assess physical activity levels. The purpose is to make an accurate assessment of the number of hours and minutes students are physically active. An online questionnaire, which takes 7 minutes to complete, will be available to students between August 1 and September 30, 2013 and can be viewed at www.surveymonkey.com/s/assesspa . It is voluntary, confidential, and anonymous. After the student completes the questionnaire, the window on the computer closes and all results without any identifiable markers are collected by an online data collection site and retrieved by the investigator. By participating in this study, students will be helping in the development of curriculum to promote increasing physical activity levels in children. I can be reached at 812-217-7816 or askarim@indiana.edu for further information or clarification. Thank you. Sincerely, AS Karim; PhD (c)
