Drilling is possible near park
100
Party time in PoCo, PoMo
Deadline for public input on proposal is Aug. 29
You have a week to clear your schedule as the cities of Port Coquitlam and Port Moody hold their biggest celebrations yet to mark their 100th birthdays. Centennial fun on the Aug. 17 weekend will include a picnic and fireworks in Port Moody, and the Homecoming Weekend and annual car show in Port Coquitlam. For details of the events, please see articles on page 3 and read next Wednesday’s Tri-City News.
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Langley resident with no background in mining is asking the provincial government to allow him to do some drilling on 111 acres of Crown land in northeast Coquitlam near Minnekhada Regional Park. John Carley told The Tri-City News he plans to drill on the land north of the park to see if the
rock can be extracted for construction projects. It is his first time requesting an investigative permit from the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which is seeking public input on the bid until Aug. 29. Carley, who said he’s acting alone on the quarry proposal, said he picked the Crown property at Quarry Road and Calgary Drive “because it’s a good location. There’s no residential around it and it’s kind of tucked away… It’s not going to be an eyesore.” see ‘VERY’, page 6
Beware crew of iPhone crooks 3 thefts happened quickly in PoCo and Coquitlam By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam RCMP are warning people to be careful after three cellphone robberies occurred during a 90-minute period last week. The first incident took place around 10:30 p.m. Aug. 2 at Purcell Drive and Dayanee Springs Boulevard in Coquitlam; three suspects robbed a victim of his iPhone and other personal property, then fled in an older model, blue, two-door Honda. The second incident occurred 30 minutes
later, this time at Prairie Avenue and Skeena Street in Port Coquitlam; three suspects confronted two victims, demanding their cellphones before running away. Three more victims were robbed of their Blackberries by three suspects shortly after midnight the same night. “Luckily, no one was hurt in the robberies,” said RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “There are definitely similarities in suspects’ descriptors and how the robberies were carried out in all three incidents.” He said that the robbery section of the Coquitlam detachment has taken over the investigation. see THEFTS FROM, page 6

First, PoCo Heritage Society is getting in on the action with an indoor vintage motorcycle display at its new facility at Leigh Square featuring some bikes that date back as far as 80 years.

This year, the big event is part of a bigger centennial event: PoCo’s Homecoming Weekend. to see more than 500 vehicles from all eras participate, including Mustang Alley, which takes place along Donald
Street, tying the show together with the cars on McAllister Avenue, Shaughnessy Street and Wilson Avenue.
“It’s a great show,” Washington said.“We never could have imagined nine years ago that it would become the spec-
tacle that it is today and the stature it would have in the car show circuit.” see TROOPER, page 4

100 Port Moody to picnic, party old-style By Diane Strandberg
P
The Tri-CiTy
ort Moody residents are encouraged to drop their electronic devices, don old-time clothes, pack a picnic and head down to Rocky Point Park Saturday, Aug. 17 to celebrate the city’s centennial. Thanks to federal government support, the city is hosting an old-fashioned picnic with games, entertainment and fireworks lasting from noon to 10 p.m. to celebrate its 100th birthday. “The whole point was to bring people back in time where people have a picnic, listen to great music and play a lot of family games,”said Coun. Gerry Nuttall, who heads the centennial organizing committee. Nuttall said the city wanted to provide a signature event to mark its 100th year and, with a matching grant from the Department of Canadian Heritage, was able to muster $25,000 to put on
the day-long show. Entertainers, including children’s performer Charlotte Diamond and the Abba tribute band ABBRA Cadabra, will be featured on the PCT Performance Stage, emceed by seasoned performer Tony Prophet. Demonstrations will showcase Port Moody’s recreational water activities, food trucks will offer a variety of festive food and the day will conclude with a display by Archangel Fireworks. This is the first year in many that PoMo has hosted fireworks, which used to be a Golden Spike Days/Canada Day staple until burgeoning policing costs put them in hibernation. Nuttall said the costs will be absorbed in the PoMo Police budget by altering schedules and doesn’t anticipate any concerns because there will be no alcohol on site, and crowds are expected to be smaller than those that used to turn out for the city’s fireworks in the past.

Cops seek crook who tried to buy using stolen credit card Coquitlam RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance in locating a man who allegedly tried to use a stolen credit card while making a purchase last month at a Port Coquitlam store. The suspect became agitated when the cashier
asked for identification and he quickly fled the store empty handed. He is described as a Caucasian man in his mid to late 20s, 5’8” tall with a slim build and short, blond hair; the suspect was wearing a red T-shirt, blue jeans and
dark running shoes, and was carrying a black backpack. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2013-20739. Those who wish to provide information anony-

“We urge anyone with information related to the robberies to contact us.” The suspects are described as males of Middle Eastern descent in their late teens to early 20s between 5’7” and 6’ tall; one has a muscular build. Anyone with information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP robbery section at 604-9451550. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or go to www.solvecrime.ca.
PROLIFIC
A Port Coquitlam man Mounties describe as a prolific offender who was out of jail for less than a month is back before the courts. Christopher Fogale was released from cus-
tody on July 9 after serving time for a theft conviction he received in May. He is facing three new criminal charges, including theft, possession of stolen property and trespass at night. Cpl. Jamie Chung credited Coquitlam RCMP’s crime analysts for gathering enough evidence to lay the new charges. “When we noticed a recent increase in theft from vehicles, we suspected Christopher Fogale was likely to be the culprit,” Chung said. “By having our crime analysts working together with [the prolific target team], we knew where to find Mr. Fogale.” The 32-year-old was arrested near Westwood Street and Lougheed H i g h w a y i n Po r t Coquitlam on Aug. 6. Fogale was not the only prolific offender

to be charged by the Coquitlam RCMP this week. Investigators also apprehended Mohammed Ansari, a 33-year-old Coquitlam man, after a brief foot pursuit near Lincoln Avenue and Pinetree Way on July 30. Police received a report that a man had been seen breaking into a vehicle in the area. Ansari is facing a charge of mischief, theft and breach of recognizance and is expected to appear in court this week. “With both prolific offenders in jail, theft from vehicles will probably go down,” Chung said. “However, everyone should still do their part to reduce crime by not leaving valuables in their vehicles and by securing their windows and doors.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Carley said he has searched for suitable land for a year and “this one just seemed to fit… But we need to do [the testing] first to see if there’s something even in there.” According to his predevelopment plan, Carley intends to drill in six locations using a small excavator; should the permit be approved, the testing would take up to a month. A ministry spokesperson said investigative permits are regularly issued to applicants who want to find out if there’s a commercial quality of sand or gravel in an area. Such permits are issued for up to two years and give the applicant no interest in the land, he said. While applicants can drill test holes and conduct other studies, “it is not an exclusive right and has no impact on any member of the public who wants to access the land for personal recreation purposes,” the spokesperson said in an email, “nor can it be used by the proponent as a precedent for being granted a tenure for a gravel quarry operation. “The formal application for tenure for a gravel quarry operation is a separate process.”
barge, not road. “This is a very preliminary investigative program they’re proposing at this stage,” said Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, noting the next round of provincial government referrals on the bid would result in a report to council. Although the Crown land that Carley is eyeing is designated agricultural and resource in the OCP, the city plans to build its biggest Burke Mountain neighbourhood — Partington Creek — directly west of it, a com-
Carley said he plans to submit a management plan in Phase 2 of the process to address such issues as transportation and environmental impacts. Though his bid states there are no watercourses in the area, city of Coquitlam staff contend there are headwaters for Dairy Creek. Last Friday, Coquitlam city managers sent a response to the ministry about Carley’s proposal. Among their main issues are how the rock would be transported out as the city’s official community plan calls for aggregate there to be moved by

munity up to 15,000 more people will call home. As well, the city intends to build the sports fields south of the Crown lands. Antonio Proietti, president of the Northeast Coquitlam Ratepayers’ Association, said the planned quarry location isn’t good. “There will be too many people in that area,”he said. • To comment on the investigative permit application by the Thursday, Aug. 29 deadline, visit http://www.arfd.gov. bc.ca/ApplicationPosting/ index.jsp and type in file #2410903. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Groups to have input on future of Mundy Park By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A new task group formed to look at the state of Coquitlam’s largest park will include a range of representatives with competing interests. Last month, the city’s council-in-committee reviewed the list of clubs to be invited this fall to be part of the Mundy Park Forest Management Plan Task Group. Besides members from the city’s advisory committees, the task group will involve volunteers from the Coquitlam Animal Shelter as well as leaders from the BC Disc Sports Society, Burke Mountain Naturalists, Fr i e n d s o f M u n d y Forest Heritage Society, Mundy Mudthudders and Phoenix Running Club. Mayor Richard Stewart questioned why the disc golf group would be part of the exercise. “I don’t know if they have the ability to give us much advice,” he said at the July 29 meeting. “We want a scientific plan to protect the forest.” But parks manager
Kathy Reinheimer countered the disc group could provide a “completely different perspective… The goal at the end of the day is to have a healthy forest.” Still, other councillors argued the task group isn’t inclusive enough and suggested nearby residents’ associations and the Dr. Charles Best secondary’s parent advisory council also be added. Coun. Brent Asmundson said many groups that use Mundy have conflicting agendas, adding, “Maybe they can be brought in for a better understanding” of the park. In March, the committee agreed to spend $60,000 to hire a consultant to look at the 440acre park, which has some 15 km of trails. The findings will form part of a new plan that will gauge the park’s overall health as well as tree and invasive species risks, potential wildfire conflicts and recreation amenities. Much of the information the city has about Mundy is now out of date, staff say. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Share seeks food donations The shelves are bare at Share Family and Community Services and the Tri-City service agency is putting the call out for supplies so hundreds of local families don’t go hungry. In fact, according to Share, food stores laid up since Christmas will completely run out in the weeks ahead. Here’s a list of important foods that are needed to go into hampers to support at least 375 families every week:
donations are also needed and can be made by calling 604-540-9161 or visiting www.sharesociety.ca. Share hampers provide food for 375 families a week and 37% of its clients are children. It takes 5,000 pounds of food to fill hampers weekly and Share relies entirely on the support of the community to provide for families in need.
• canned fruit, vegetables, fish and meat; • canned meals (such as stewed beans); • pasta and pasta sauce; • peanut butter; • juice; • granola bars; • rice; • and Kraft Dinner. Food can be dropped in designated bins at any grocery store in the TriCities or at Share’s food bank at 2615 Clarke St. in Port Moody (at the rear of the building). Financial
CATALYST
Meanwhile, Share has put a call out for
proposals to develop a new model of food bank called the Catalyst Centre, which would provide housing assistance, literacy support, skills training and other services under one roof in addition to food bank services. The new model will be developed over the next six months, with funding from Vancity, and would mean food bank users would get help developing a plan to build their skills and knowledge towards independence.

Learn to swim

■ WHAT WE THINK:
L
earning to swim at the local swimming pool is an important rite of passage but some children never learn or their lessons are cut short before they reach competence in the water. This can be a problem as they take on risky behaviours as teens and young adults, judging by the number of drowning deaths in B.C. In July alone in this province, there were 43 drowning deaths, up from 25 in the same period in 2012, according to BC Stats. That’s an astonishing number. Further study reveals that the likeliest age groups for drowning are people 20 to 29 years of age, and older people, between the age of 50 and 59, proving that no one is too young or too old to learn to be safe around water. Our advice: Check out your local listings for low-cost swimming lessons for yourself and your youngsters, and stay safe around the water this summer and many summers to come.

billion here, a billion there, it adds up. That’s the problem with shopping lists. They start out with milk and bread and then everyone else in the family adds something and suddenly that trip to the supermarket becomes a full-fledged shopping frenzy. The municipalities that make up Metro Vancouver are facing the same predicament as they try to choose between the bare necessities, luxuries and how you’re going to pay for it all. But who’s actually keeping an eye on the tab? By spacing announcements over future spending plans, local councils, TransLink, Metro Vancouver and the provincial government may be hoping no one is, since the overall sticker shock will be a shock. So how much will local ratepayers actually be on the hook for after these various entities get their priorities scanned at the till? First, each of Metro Vancouver’s 24 communi-
ties has its own needs and while it’s difficult to guess what the future spending plans of any municipality might be five years from now, it is possible to look back and reach some conclusions about past fiscal prudence and what that might mean for ratepayers in the future. One case: According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, between 2000 and 2011, population growth in Vancouver was 15% but inflation-adjusted spending increased by 50%. Residents of White Rock can peek a bit into the future, too. In June, White Rock announced plans to purchase the municipality’s water system from the city of Edmonton-owned Epcor, even though the system isn’t for sale and no one is saying what it might cost if Epcor was willing to part with it. All of this was decided by White Rock council behind closed doors. The report that council based its decision on during their in camera meeting also remains confidential. This means the people who might end up having to pay for the acquisition don’t even know the business plan on which the decision to pry open their wallets was made. Then there’s TransLink. The regional transpor-

tation authority has its hands out for $23 billion over the next 30 years, which is divided between $5 billion for keeping the existing system operational and another $18 billion for priorities the authority has identified, including rapid transit in Surrey and Vancouver, a new Pattullo Bridge and upgrades to the Expo Line. Meanwhile, Metro Vancouver has announced that local residents can expect utility fee hikes of 23% over the next five years to pay for a number of regional infrastructure projects. They include the $800 million Seymour-Capilano filtration project, Coquitlam’s $100-million ultraviolet disinfection facility, a pair of underground tunnels to transport filtered water to Surrey, and a second garbage incinerator whose price tag will likely be well north of half a billion dollars. Then there’s the provincial government. Last March, the B.C. government released its five preferred options for replacing the George Massey Tunnel. Keep in mind that the last time the B.C. government got involved in regional infrastructure, the tab came in at $3.4 billion to replace the Port Mann bridge and drivers ended up with a $3 toll. Commuters will also remember how well that
investment stood up to the first sign of inclement weather. So expect a price tag that ends in billion for any of the options to address the Massey Tunnel’s future. Chances are there will be a toll as well. Even this spending can’t be considered exhaustive. There’s still the cost of building and operating new schools, numerous infrastructure projects that are underway and the unforeseen. Ask Calgary about the unforeseen. While some of these projects may be sold to the public as“self-supported”that’s just politicalspeak for“you’re still picking up the tab.”Whether it’s through tolls or tipping fees, they’re just euphemisms for picking your pocket. Local governments are also counting on the public to have become numb to numbers that end in“billion.”So consider that TransLink’s proposed spending amounts to $9,200 for every man, woman and child in the Lower Mainland today. With what’s on the table right now, proposed infrastructure spending in Metro Vancouver will likely hit $30 billion. It’s a sum that needs to be seen in the context of the fact that Vancouver is already the most expensive city to live in Canada.

S
hould we be able to discreetly have a glass of wine at the beach?Yes. Should we, therefore, make alcohol legal at the beach? No. Legal or not, having alcohol at the beach requires a little discretion, something British Columbians have shown remarkably little of when it comes to any activity involving booze. Stanley Cup riots. The Celebration of Lights. The Vancouver Sea Festival, which finally had to be cancelled due to uncontrollable, marauding drunks. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in favour of modernized liquor laws: later openings, more outdoor patios and whatever else you’ve got. But legalizing booze on beaches? I’m not so sure we can handle it. Currently, with no booze allowed on Spanish Banks, we keep our bottle of wine or beer in a picnic basket and discreetly tipple it into a red plastic cup, respectfully concealing it from beach officials as necessary. No muss, no fuss. And under current laws, those incapable of similar discretion can be asked to leave the beach or pour out their cooler, which often contains two 24-packs of Keith’s, which they loudly and openly swill until some-
one is offended and a fight breaks out. The prohibition of booze from beaches allows lifeguards and beach officials (who supervise beaches) to monitor and dissuade overt drinkers. “Sorry, no alcohol allowed on the beach…”is an easy position to take and escalate to a phone call to the local police if necessary. Were liquor legal on beaches, beach officials would then be required to explain to an inebriated group why their behaviour is unreasonable rather than just whether someone was drinking. This is a much weaker and untenable position for them. In my years as a vice-principal, I won’t soon forget angry, drunken students and ridiculous parents who expected me, at the entrance to a high school dance, to differentiate between one-beer tipsy and raging drunk. I wish we could be“more like Europe,” where alcohol at the beach is a non-issue, but there are too many longstanding cultural differences in how we treat alcohol. Because unlike Europeans, who have learned to complement an activity with a drink or two, too many of us still think of drinking is the activity, especially in public.

Growth plan ‘house of cards’ The Editor, Re. “Everyone has a say on growthâ€? (The TriCity News, Aug. 2). This article advised readers that “Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy (RGS) looks ahead‌ on how to accommodate a projected one million more people and 600,000 new jobs over the next 30 years‌ All member municipalities are expected [compelled] to approve it.â€? The RGS is a landuse plan. It proposes to increase density around growth centres in order to accommodate the
projected populations in each municipality. The so-called plan does not consider the availability of water, solid waste disposal, electric power supply, park and recreational space, or provincial greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. So Coquitlam’s city council is quite right to balk at this business-asusual growth forecast because it will perpetuate traffic gridlock. We already have summer water use restrictions. How will we cope with one million more people drinking, bathing,
cooking, flushing toilets and watering lawns? We already have challenges disposing of solid waste and even recyclable materials. How will we cope with the wastes from 400,000 more households and 600,000

Keep booze out of our parks & off our beaches The Editor, The B.C. government is considering legalizing drinking in parks and at beaches. Maybe I’m misinformed but I thought the reason for going to a park or beach was to enjoy nature. There are dozens of places where people can drink so why would we allow drinking in these natural settings? According to statistics, anywhere from 40% to 70% of drownings involve alcohol consumption. In addition to that, think of the increase in drunk drivers after they leave the park or beach. Many people would probably not abuse it but all it takes is a few obnoxious drunks to ruin a day at the beach or park for
more jobs? Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy is a house of cards. There are limits to growth. They need to be assessed as the basis for a sustainable regional plan. D.B. Wilson, Port Moody

Patients of illegal dentist sought for health testing By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City residents may be among the patients treated by a Burnaby man believed to be practising dentistry illegally, according to Fraser Health. And anyone who received services from Tung Sheng Wu, also known as David Wu, is encouraged to contact the health authority. Dr. Michelle Murti, Fraser’s medical health officer, said clients of Wu’s should be tested for Hepatitis B and C, and HIV because improperly sterilized equipment may have been used in their treatment. “Based on what we have seen now, there was significant infection-control issues where people may have been exposed and at risk,”Murti said. Patients are encouraged to call 1-855-8957425, a toll-free number, and a nurse will arrange for them to be tested. By Wednesday afternoon, Fraser Health had received some calls, possibly from former patients, Murti said, thanks to widespread media attention to the story. The provincial College of Dental Surgeons of BC was alerted to Wu’s
Tax target A Port Moody man received a $2,500 fine and 30 days house arrest after pleading guilty to failing to file his tax returns. Michael Robert Boyko did not file a 2007 corporate tax return for his business, Class-Sea Tops and Textiles, and pled guilty to failing to comply with a court order to file his 2005 to 2008 personal tax returns. According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), this is Boyko’s third conviction and he has since filed the outstanding returns. People convicted of failing to file tax can be levied fines and interest on top of the full amount of taxes owing. Civil penalties may also be assessed. The agency said in a press release that taxpayers who have not filed returns for previous years, or who have not reported all of their income, can still voluntarily correct their affairs. “They may not be penalized or prosecuted if they make a valid disclosure before they become aware of any compliance action being initiated by the CRA against them,” said the release. More information can be found on the CRA website’s voluntary disclosure program at www.cra.gc.ca/ voluntarydisclosures. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Tung Sheng Wu of Burnaby is alleged to have practised dentistry illegally. practice through a complaint from a patient and obtained a court order to shut down his Burnaby home office on Southwood Street, where they seized 1,500 client files as well as dental equipment and supplies. Wu may have been practising as far back as the 1990s and, prior to using the Burnaby location, was operating out of a residence in Port Moody. Murti said anyone, no matter how far back they were treated, should give the nursing line a call and get tested because they may have contracted potentially life-threatening diseases
without knowing it. Children especially are at risk and files obtained from Wu’s office suggest kids as young as four years old were treated, with about a third of his patients under the age of 18, Murti confirmed. A l t h o u g h Fr a s e r Health would like to be able to contact patients, few of the files contain contact information and all are written in Chinese. Consequently, Wu’s patients are encouraged to self-refer, she said, noting, “That’s why we’re trying to spread the word.” Wu allegedly relied on word-of-mouth referrals and Murti is hoping friends and family mem-

bers of Wu’s clients will encourage their relatives to make the call if they used his dental services. Nurses will set up blood tests with anyone who claims to have been a patient of Wu. If they have contracted Hep B, Hep C or HIV, there is no way of knowing that it was from Wu’s office but they will be able to get proper treatment, Murti said, adding that there are a myriad of treatments for the diseases to help people gain control of the lifelong disease. “It’s a precaution,” Murti said, adding: “It’s so people know their own status.”

Want to test Compass card? Deadline is today to become a beta tester for transit By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Thousands of transit commuters have applied to be the first to try out the Compass card, which will be in use across the Lower Mainland’s transit system next year. These beta testers won’t get free rides but they will be the first to tap in and out with the shiny new card that will be used to pay fares on buses and SkyTrain to see if the system is working. “We want all types of applicants: frequent, infrequent users, people in the Tri-Cities, downtown and Burnaby and elsewhere. We want any type of ridership, we’re still encouraging people to apply,” said Jiana Ling, TransLink spokesperson. But time is short be-

A Compass card and reader on a bus. When the cards are rolled out next year, they’ll be used across the transit system. cause today — Friday — is the deadline for applying, and already 13,000 people have applied for 5,000 spots. Once chosen, beta testers will get their Compass cards in the mail and will be able to use them wherever and whenever they need to, Ling explained. “This is just to test the system. We want to find out if there are any glitches before we start the system,” she said. In the second phase, a smaller number of testers
will be deployed to refine the system. It will be the fall before we know the new fare structure for the Compass cards, and for some months next year, TransLink will roll out an education system to help people make the transition. People who currently purchase monthly passes or FareSaver passes at TransLink fare dealers will be able to load up their new Compass card with funds and then use them throughout the system.
RECEIVERSHIP AUCTION SUNDAY, AUGUST 11
PUBLIC AUCTION 2 PM • VIEW FROM 1 PM
Ling said the Compass card will cost $6, which provides a three-zone trip home, but can be loaded up using credit or debit cards, or cash. “You tap into the system with your card, the system will charge three zones, if you use only one zone, then you’ll get a credit for the rest,” Ling said, explaining how the system will start. Meanwhile, she isn’t surprised at the number of people who have applied to beta test the new Compass card even though they still have to buy their own fare and have proof of purchase along with the card. “They get to use this system first,” she said,“It’s like a novelty thing.” • For more information on being a beta tester, visit www.translink. ca/en/Fares-and-Passes/ Compass-Card/CompassBeta-Test.aspx. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam bucks up to replace broken sewage pipe By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A broken pipe that sent sewage into Coquitlam’s Scott Creek in April will be replaced at a cost of $310,000. Last week, city council approved the first phase of the replacement for the sanitary force main on Lansdowne Drive, between Barnet Highway and the CP Rail tracks. The money will come from the city’s sewage and drainage utility replacement reserve. Mayor Richard Stewart said crews worked around the clock to contain the break in the 14-inch iron pipe and minimize the environ-
mental damage. The force main, which was installed in 1977 and handles about 6.7 million litres of sewage a day, also sustained a small leak in June but there was little or no spill into the creek, a city report states. The second phase of the replacement is estimated to cost $620,000; that will happen after the Evergreen Line is built in 2016 to avoid construction conflicts.
readings to rezone 3410 and 3411 Roxton Ave. for two mirror developments of up to 16 residential lots each. Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s development services manager, said
city staff are looking at a green street — or a common front yard between facing houses — between the two Lower Hyde Creek neighbourhood sites once properties fronting Coast Meridian
Road are ready for redevelopment. The green street would result in the west side of Roxton being closed off. Currently, the only green street on Burke is on Watkins Avenue, in
the Upper Hyde Creek neighbourhood. City council has pressed staff to add green streets in the Partington Creek neighbourhood, where the city plans to add up to 15,000 more residents in mostly
multi-family units. Meanwhile, city council on July 29 granted first reading to rezone 1286 and 1290 Hollybrook St. for proposed subdivisions on Burke.

Ocean of slime as jellyfish thrive in tough times green scene Elaine Golds No fish? Jellyfish are taking over
B
Ruth FosteR
Often more than a metre in diameter, the lion’s mane jellyfish is one of the largest that can be seen in Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm. as during plankton blooms, and can consume more than half their weight in food on a daily basis. If they do happen to run out of nourishment, they can simply shrink their body size and live on their own tissues for awhile. Acidifying waters apparently pose few problems for jellyfish. In the ocean, marine turtles and sunfish are their main predators but both turtles and sunfish appear to be in decline. As for reproduction, they have a number of choices and can reproduce sexually as well as asexually. They live as two forms, the free-floating medusa stage with which people are most familiar and as a small attached polyp often found underwater on man-made structures and the nets around pens for farmed fish.These polyps can proliferate into large colonies and, then, when conditions are right, undergo a process known as strobilation and transform into many small medusas that then float away. Roughly 1,500 species of jellyfish have been identified to date.The largest can be over 2 m in diameter with tentacles up to 50 m long and weigh 200 kg (most of which is water). As mankind over-

eing a bookish person with an interest in all things environmental, I have read my fair share of doom-andgloom exposés of how things are not going well for the world’s ecosystems. It’s a familiar theme these days that most people would likely prefer not to think about. But we can’t ignore reality. One book that has alarmed me is Stung! On Jellyfish Blooms and the Future of the Ocean by Lisa-ann Gershwin. A biologist who specializes in jellyfish, Gershwin outlines why jellyfish are becoming the dominant organisms in many parts of the world’s oceans and why we should be worried about this dramatic change. Jellyfish are true survivors.They have been on the planet for millions of years. For a very primitive animal with no brain or heart, they are extremely adaptable and can survive conditions deleterious to many other species. For example, they can live in waters with lower oxygen content than most other animals. With stinging tentacles that can ensnare large prey, they are efficient feeders that also catch a variety of plankton and small larvae. Many of the small larvae they catch would otherwise have the potential to grow into large fish — the kind humans like to catch and eat.They can grow rapidly to take advantage of periods when there is plenty of food,such
For example, in the Antarctic, people are now fishing for krill to convert into fish meal, an extremely egregious example of fishing too far down the food chain.The krill are being replaced in the ecosystem by copepods, a
much smaller type of zooplankton. Unlike krill, the copepods are too small for the penguins to feed on so the penguin population is declining. But copepods are the right size — any size is — for jellyfish, so jellyfish are ominously increasing in abundance as penguins decline. Jellyfish blooms are an increasing problem in many parts of the world’s oceans.The Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean are all experiencing increasing problems with massive numbers of jellyfish. Off the waters of China, Japan and Korea, jellyfish blooms are replacing the fish that once sustained the people of those nations. In Florida, California,
India, Israel and many other places, jellyfish blooms have clogged the water intakes of power plants. Wherever we empty the seas of fish, we are creating advantageous conditions for jellyfish. What’s to be done? One of the most sensible actions that could be taken to re-balance the food chain in our oceans and protect ecosystems is to set aside areas where no fishing or other industrial activities are allowed. Just as we need terrestrial parks to serve as biological reservoirs of diversity on land that protect a full community of species, we also need marine protected areas where natural ecosystems can prevail. Where such marine
protected areas have been created, the results are usually impressive. Australia, with the largest barrier reef in the world, has wisely already protected 36% of its marine areas. In Canada, we have the longest coastline in the world but only 1% of it is protected.The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society has identified and recommended a number of marine protected areas along the coast of B.C. Now, we await some action from the government. Elaine Golds is a Port Moody environmentalist who is vice-president of Burke Mountain Naturalists, chair of the Colony Farm Park Association and past president of the PoMo Ecological Society.

Ask Percy questions
GO OD FO OD. GO OD FOR YOU. GO OD FOR THE EARTH.
If you’re a fan of the Percy Jackson book series, Coquitlam Public Library has some answers for you. But you’ll have to come up with the questions. CPL is hosting Percy Jackson Yepardy on Thursday, Aug. 15, with quizzes at 2 and 3 p.m. in Rooms 1 and 2 at the City Centre Branch. In these quizzes, teams of two to four youths aged 10 and up will test their knowledge of Rick Riordan’s popular Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. The team that has accumulated the best score at the end of Final Yepardy will earn prizes for its members, including movie gift cards. Requiring answers to be phrased as questions, and featuring a variety of thematic categories, the quiz format may remind you of a popular television game show. To satisfy demand, the library is running two quizzes but each team will compete in one quiz only. To register your team, call Chris at 604-554-7339 or email cmiller@library. coquitlam.bc.ca. If you cannot find anyone with whom to form a team, you can still register but will be assigned teammates for the quiz. Anyone may watch. Space will be limited. Snacks will be served.

A Coquitlam teen is now on a Fraser River adventure for 25 days, a 1,400-km journey run by the Rivershed Society of BC, a local non-profit group. The group of eight young people that includes Christian Krushel are on the sustainable living leadership program that started Aug. 1 near Mount Robson; the voyage by canoe, raft, shuttle van and by foot will end Aug. 24 at the Jericho Sailing Club in Vancouver. “You’re outdoors and you’re plugged into nature,” said program founder Fin Donnelly, the NDP MP for New Westminster-Coquitlam, in a news release. “When they complete the program, the participants have gained some practical skills and shared an experience that will inspire them to action.”

Imagine a close friend tells you she has dementia. Would you avoid her for fear of being embarrassed by what she might say or do? According to a poll by Alzheimer’s Disease International, 40% of people with dementia reported they had been avoided or treated differently after diagnosis. It’s no surprise, then, that one in four respondents cited stigma as a reason to conceal their diagnosis. That’s why the Alzheimer Society launched a nation-wide campaign earlier this year called“See me, not my disease. Let’s talk about dementia.”Its goal was to address myths about the disease, shift attitudes and make it easier to talk about dementia. Stereotypes and misinformation are what prevent people with dementia from getting the help they need and stop others from taking the disease seriously. Dementia is more than having the occasional “senior moment”or losing your keys. The truth is it’s a progressive degenerative brain disorder that affects each person differently. It’s fatal and there is no cure. Today, 747,000 Canadians have dementia. While dementia can affect people as young as 40, the risk doubles every five years after 65. “A diagnosis of dementia doesn’t immediately render a person incapable of working or carrying on with their daily life,”explains Mary Schulz, director of education at the Alzheimer Society of Canada. “Many people with this disease tell us they want to continue contributing to their community and remain engaged for as long as possible.” In fact growing evidence shows that involving people with dementia in meaningful activities that speak to their strengths helps to slow the progression of the disease and will improve their well-being. The number of Canadians with dementia is expected to double to 1.4 million in the next 20 years. To help change the conversation, Canadians can • Learn the facts about dementia.

ah, water The warm weather can present health problems for people of all ages but, especially for seniors who plan to be active under the hot summer sun, staying hydrated is one key to staying healthy.
Editor’s note: This letter from The Agassiz-Harrison Observer, a Black Press sister paper of The TriCity News, contains some good advice for seniors or anyone else planning to be out and about in the summer heat… The Editor, I would like to thank the Good Samaritan who called the ambulance when I fell on Inkman Road in Agassiz on July 26. I was taken by ambulance to Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope, where the doctor and nurses did tests to determine why I fell. I fell because I was dehydrated. Now, I take a bottle of water when I walk to town. There is a lesson here. Elderly people should always have
water when they walk in hot weather. I was trying to be 27 instead of 67. Thank goodness I

Sales still strong at Larco’s Morgan Crossing By Kerry Vital
Morgan Crossing is an amazing pedestrian-friendly village that you don’t often see in the Lower Mainland. With tons of fantastic stores, spacious homes located right in the heart of the village and almost any amenity you can think of within walking distance, it comes as no surprise that there is only a limited number of condominium suites left. “We still have a great selection available, but sales will
be wrapping up soon,” says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies. “The response has been tremendous.” Built by Larco Investments, Morgan Crossing is wellknown as a gathering place for residents from all over Metro Vancouver. Buyers from nearly every city in the region have been looking to purchase one of the homes there. The village has shopping, dining, community events and amenities right outside your front door, including Winners, Town Shoes, Everything Wine and Thrifty Foods. You’ll also be
able to fit in a workout at the Steve Nash Sports Club. “People fall in love with the village,” Woolley says. “It’s what sets Morgan Crossing apart.” Homes at Morgan Crossing start at $275,900 including GST and transition taxes for a two-bedroom suite. For more information, visit www.morgancrossing.ca or call 604-5821336. The presentation centre is open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Intracorp’s River Park Place will soon join Richmond’s Oval Village neighbourhood, above, where buyers can take advantage of all the amazing amenities the neighbourhood has to offer, including leisure and recreation, shopping and dining. Among the features you’ll find in your new home are stainless-steel appliances and chic and modern cabinetry, above right.
The new luxury at River Park Place By Kerry Vital
Richmond’s Oval Village is welcoming sophisticated luxury to the neighbourhood with Intracorp’s River Park Place. The new condominium and townhome development is already garnering buzz. “These homes stand out from the crowd,” says Intracorp’s Director of Sales Barrett Sprowson. “The response so far has been
really positive.” The project will encompass three buildings and over 500 homes. Over 30 homes were sold last month. The one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with floorplans ranging from 465 to over 2,000 square feet. “These floorplans make sense to a wide range of people,” says Sprowson, adding that buyers so far have included downsizers and young couples looking to move away from renting or their starter home. “These homes are really efficient,” Sprowson says. “There’s no wasted space.” Some of the features you’ll find in your new home include stainless-steel appliances, solid engineered quartz countertops and a full-height marble mosaic backsplash in the kitchen. The modern kitchen cabinetry includes high-gloss solid white lacquer upper

cabinets and horizontal-grain real wood veneer lower cabinets, all built in Canada. The soaker tub in the bathroom is made for spa-like relaxation, complemented by the natural stone porcelain tile flooring, solid marble countertops and European frameless glass shower enclosure. You’ll find laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, with low-profile soft touch broadloom carpeting in the bedrooms. When you’re in the mood for some time outdoors, you’ll love the expansive outdoor patio or balcony in your new home. The amenities are some of the most amazing things about River Park Place. Among them you’ll find a yoga mezzanine, fully equipped fitness centre, dog-wash station, media room and training court with space to play basketball or badminton. “These are little things that make sense,”
Sprowson says. “We picked up the concept of a whole home, taken all of those things you’re looking for and put them into some form of amenity at River Park Place. You don’t expect to get that in a condo.” For the next several week, River Park Place will be holding weekend events that celebrate all those amenities. The next one, a three-onthree basketball scrimmage, will take place on Aug. 10 at the River Park Place sales centre. “Intracorp is fielding a team,” Sprowson laughs. “The old guys are going to get schooled!” There will be a grilling exhibition on Aug. 17 and daylight yoga on Aug. 24. The Oval Village neighbourhood has been rapidly growing since the end of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and River Park Place is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything the neighbourhood has to offer. “Our buyers are really starting to appreciate the evolution of the area,” Sprowson says. “This is the number-one neighbourhood in Richmond.” Buyers will have access to transit via the Canada Line just minutes away, as well as the Vancouver International Airport, the Richmond dyke trails and all of the shopping, dining and leisure activities in the area. T&T Supermarket will open its doors nearby, as well as medical, dental and banking services. Homes at River Park Place start at $229,900.

are the greens but even they are delicious.Varieties like ‘Winterkeeper Lutz’, for example, mature in 34 days - now that is quick. Lettuce is, by far, the most popular of greens and seeded now, almost any variety of leaf lettuce will do just fine.The ‘Butter Crunch’ type matures in about 60 days, while the loose leaf varieties, like ‘Black Seeded Simpson’ and ‘Red Sails’, will be on your table in 45 days. For winter greens,‘Corn Salad’ is still one of the best as is ‘Winter Density’. Both have better flavour with a light frost. Certain varieties of bunching onions and scallions can still be planted for fall harvests because they mature in 60 days. Up until that time, you have the greens to enjoy.There are also hardy varieties you can plant now for harvesting in spring. ‘Kincho’ and ‘Pacific’ will survive most winters. Who couldn’t find a spot now for radishes? Almost any variety matures in 25 days and in drier weather, you will find fewer maggots. Keep them out of old cabbage areas and rake a little wood ash into the soil for better maggot control. Winter cauliflower, like ‘Galleon’ and cabbage, like ‘January King’, will mature in February if planted now.‘Purple Sprouting’ and ‘Rudolph’ broccoli are other winter favourites. Many folks also transplant the late ‘Lacinato’(Black Tuscan), ‘Winterbor’ and ‘Redbor’ kale at this time of year. Winter hardy leeks can go in now as well, to round out your winter gardens. Today there is an excellent selection of winter veggies both from seed and transplants.You will probably not have enough empty spaces to plant all these wonderful fall and winter vegetables but give some a try.

Yes, you can plant now ugust is a very important transitional time in our vegetable gardens. Some vegetables are still maturing but many others have finished completely, leaving gaps here and there that could still produce a few crops. In the Lower Mainland and the FraserValley, fast crops like lettuce, brassicas, peas, beans, radishes, swiss chard and beets can easily go in now, especially from started crops or transplants, for harvesting from September through next March and beyond. In southwestern B.C., our vegetable gardens can be producing 12 months a year and even in some colder parts of the province, selective planting can be done. Potted perennial vegetables, like horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes and rhubarb, can be planted now. Perennial herbs like mint, parsley, chives, marjoram and oregano can also be planted for some late fall and early spring additions to your culinary dishes. September is also the best time to plant garlic for next year. For some delicious spinach-like greens, swiss chard can be planted now. Once established, it will tolerate a fair bit of cold before it either freezes or goes dormant.The same is true of spinach. ‘Perennial Spinach’, which is actually a chard and West Coast Seeds’‘Bloomsdale Savoy’ are two varieties that can be used in 45 days. There is even time for some root crops like beets. In the worst case scenario, all you will get

’Bellies battle back from the brink By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Adanacs’ drive for a perfect playoff performance hit a roadblock We d n e s d a y n i g h t . The New Westminster Salmonbellies downed the Adanacs 14-9 at the Palace on Poirier to force a Game 4 in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League finals. Coquitlam had won its first five playoff games and was poised to enter the Minto Cup with a perfect playoff record. The Adanacs’ quest for a fifth-straight league championship resumes tonight at Queen’s Park Arena. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Both teams are very good. They got up on us early and we were chasing all night and it’s not easy to chase in this game,” said Coquitlam head coach Neil Doddridge. The Adanacs ran into penalty trouble throughout the game — giving up four power-play goals while being unable to capitalize on their two chances. “We didn’t have a (full two-minute) power play until the third period. I can’t explain it, the refs call it and we play it,” said Doddridge. Peter Dubenski was chased from the net 10 minutes into the first after surrendering four goals on 10 shots. He returned to the game with 15 minutes remaining in the third, replacing

Coquitlam’s Wesley Berg fires a shot on New Westminster goalie Ross Bowman in Wednesday’s Game 3 of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League finals. The two teams will be back at it tonight at Queen’s Park Arena. Davide DiRuscio, who turned aside 30 of the 37 shots he faced. The Adanacs suffered another blow when playoff scoring leader Wesley Berg (12 goals and 16 assists in six games) left in the second period and didn’t return. “I don’t know where he went. Did he leave?” Doddridge said with a chuckle. New Westminster also didn’t escape unscathed as Ross Bowman was forced into the Salmonbellies’ net after
Frank Scigliano was injured 12:45 into the first when he was run into by his own defender. “I like Franky, he’s a good goalie. I hope he’s OK, no one likes to see that,” said Doddridge. Steven Neufeld netted a hat trick for the Adanacs, with Berg and Matt Delmonico each scoring a pair and singles going to Michael Messenger and Reid Reinholdt. Both teams could face league discipline for a fight-filled final minute
of the third period. Doddridge said the team will take the positives out of Wednesday night’s loss and reset for Friday’s matchup at Queen’s Park Arena. “We’ll readjust our defence and hopefully won’t get as many penalties and play a bit more five-on-five,” he said. “We dominated them [Tuesday] and they came back with a good effort and they deserved to win this game. Tomorrow’s a new day.” Neufeld and Berg
each scored hat tricks Tuesday to help the Adanacs to a 12-5 win in New Westminster. Michael Messenger, Evan Wortley, Matt Delmonico, Cole Shafer, Jean-Luc Chetner and Tyler Garrison also scored for Coquitlam. Game 5, if necessary, will go Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre.
ThundersTruck
The Senior Adanacs pushed the Langley Thunder to the brink
again Tuesday night before eventually falling 8-6 to the Western Lacrosse Association regular season champs. “We just can’t seem to score when we have to,” said head coach Bob Salt. “Lacrosse is a game where you’ve got to score when you get your chances and we couldn’t [Tuesday] night again.” A pair of quick goals by Daryl Veltman pulled the Adanacs even early in the third, but the end result was the same as Game 1 when
Coquitlam squandered an 8-7 third-period lead to fall 10-8. “The defence is playing terrific and Shooter [Adam Shute] in goal is as good as anybody in this league right now,” said Salt. “I don’t think we have to do a whole lot of things different other than put the ball in the net.” Ve l t m a n i s o n e Adanac not having a problem finding the net. He notched four goals Tuesday night to push him to fifth in playoff scoring with six goals and one assist. “He’s a leader and he moves the ball very well. He’s a very intelligent lacrosse player,” said Salt. “A lot of our guys seem to be shooting at the same spot, maybe because they’re young, I don’t know why. He’s mixing his shots up so Brodie [MacDonald] can’t get a feel for him. Shoot low, then high, then bounce it over him. In this day in lacrosse everybody watches film so they catch on to you real quick.” Brett Hickey added a goal and three assists for Coquitlam with Travis Cornwall providing the other goal. Matthew Dinsdale supplied three assists. The Thunder took a 2-0 series lead into Thursday’s Game 3 with Game 4 in the bestof-seven series going Saturday at 7:45 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. sports@tricitynews.com
Norman brings world of experience to national team lineup By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
A t 1 5 ye a r s o l d , David Norman has already seen more of the world than most. And this week the Coquitlam teen adds Mexico City to his travel list as he joins the Canadian National Men’s U15 soccer team for the 2013 Copa Mexico de Naciones. “When I was 12 I went to the Danone Nations Cup in South Africa. That was a really good experience and there was some really good teams,” said the centre midfielder. “I’ve also trained with a team called Mainz 05 in Germany — I’ve been there three times for one-month stints.” Norman will now
be part of a Canadian squad that is in a group with Paraguay, Chile and Mexico. While it can be a little intimidating to go up against such traditional soccer powers, Norman says he’s “just going to go in with the attitude that they’re another 11 boys playing soccer. There’s nothing to really be afraid of, just go out there and play as hard as we can and I think we’ll have a good chance.” Norman’s soccer career began with Coquitlam Metro Ford before he moved on to the Whitecaps Select program at age nine. He’s now in the Whitecaps residency program full time, playing for the Whitecaps in the USSDA league
against players a year or two older than himself. The Charles Best secondary student lists the two trips he made with the Whitecaps to the Surf Cup in San Diego among the highlights of his young career, going to the semifinals the first year and losing in the finals the next. “No Canadian team has ever won that and we’re just the second Canadian team to make the finals.” Norman models his game after Darren Fletcher — a midfielder with Manchester United and captain of the Scottish national team — describing himself as “a hard-working box midfielder who can win the ball back but also provide help
attacking. I’m always pushing the play from side to side but also getting forward occasionally and setting up plays going forward.” When Norman ret u r n s f ro m M e x i c o on Aug. 18 he will go into training with the Whitecaps before starting his season. He hopes to travel with the Canadian team to another tournament in Spain later this year. And beyond that, the sky’s the limit. “Right now I’m just really working hard and hopefully that will take me to a first team somewhere. I would really love it to be somewhere in Europe but also I’d really love playing here in Vancouver with the Whitecaps.” sports@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam nets provincial gold The Coquitlam Adanacs scored provincial gold at the B.C. I n t e r m e d i at e B l a crosse championships last weekend in Maple Ridge. Coquitlam edged Juan de Fuca 6-5 in the gold-medal game. Chris Turenne notched a pair for the Adanacs, who also got scoring from Tyson Abbott, Riley Crosby, Danny Hagerty and Kyle Weir. “We led 6-1 going into the third, and to Juan de Fuca’s credit they really poured it on thick but the boys never buckled under the pressure,” said Adanacs manager Greg Bodin. Coquitlam went 3-0 in the round robin, knocking off Port Moody 9-5, hammering Delta 13-1 and doubling Juan de Fuca 10-5. Alex Bodin led the Adanacs in scoring over the tournament with four goals and six assists, with Trevor Chernoff netting six goals and three assists, Kyle Weir totaling six goals and two assists and Riley Crosby finishing with five goals and three assists. Coquitlam’s Christian Del Bianco, a Midget A-1 call-up, was named top goalie and tournament MVP. Alex Bodin and Hayden Budnick were named to the tournament all-star team, a l o n g w i t h C o rd e l Maunder and Robbie Minni with the Port Moody Thunder, who took the bronze. The Coquitlam squad finished fourth in the Intermediate A provincials, falling 12-11 to Victoria in the bronzemedal game. Josh Kemp
was named to the allstar team. The Adanacs had compiled a 15-3 record to win the Intermediate B league championship, with Chernoff being named MVP and Rob
Glancy coach of the year. Gino Lo Giancco of Port Coquitlam was named the league’s top goalie. Chernoff, Jared Best and David Manky were named to the allstar team along with
Scott Whittaker of Port Moody. “Everything fell into place perfectly over the course of the season to help these kids get to where they were,” said Bodin.
