Transfers costly without Compass Cash-paying riders who shun Compass to pay double By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Metro Vancouver bus passengers who now pay with cash and use a paper transfer to later board SkyTrain will find themselves paying double if they don’t adopt the Compass card after the new payment system takes effect in 2014. TransLink says fare boxes on buses won’t be able to issue paper tickets to cash-paying passengers that are compatible with the SkyTrain faregates. Passengers who try to use them will be forced to pay again at a SkyTrain station.

The Compass smart card system will be implemented in 2014.
Spokesman Derek Zabel predicts the vast majority of riders will use the Compass card and have no problem but concedes more public education will be needed. A compatible system on buses would have cost an extra $25 million. “It wasn’t a cost-effective solution,”he said. Bus-to-bus paper transfers will still work, as will
SkyTrain-to-bus transfers — it’s only bus-to-SkyTrain transfers where tickets will be incompatible. An estimated 6,000 people a day use bus-to-SkyTrain paper transfers after paying cash. That’s a small fraction of the more than 1.2 million daily transit trips, Zabel said, noting most riders already use a pass or some other form of pre-paid fare. While Compass cards are expected to roll out before the end of the year — after an extensive testing period this fall — both the new and the old system will work simultaneously for months before the faregates are fully activated. “We’re not going to close the gates until people fully understand how to use the system,” Zabel said. The cards are being con-
figured to replicate existing payment offerings so users can load money on their card and buy the equivalent of a monthly pass or get a similar discount to the FareSaver prepaid ticket booklets by buying ahead. Discounts will range up to 14 per cent, according to Zabel. TransLink expects passengers will flock to adopt the reloadable Compass card because of the convenience it will offer — ending the need to go to a store to buy a monthly pass — as well as other advantages like transfer of the balance if the card is lost or stolen. Gavin Davies, vice-president of the CAW union local representing Coast Mountain bus drivers, said there’s concern angry passengers who are
forced to pay again to board SkyTrain will take out their fury on bus drivers. “They’re going to immediately retaliate against the next bus driver they see,” he predicted, adding driver assaults could increase. The move was blasted by transit users on social media and an online petition has been started demanding TransLink abandon the “double transit fee.” It’s not the only change associated with the Compass card conversion that’s drawing controversy. TransLink is also axing the Employer Pass Program that offered a 15 per cent discount to employees of participating employers. It was often coupled with employer-offered perks like preferential parking.

Members of the Coquitlam RCMP and the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre rescued a baby seal from the bank of the Pitt River in Port Coquitlam Tuesday afternoon.
Baby seal rescued from shore of Pitt River hercules recovering at marine mammal rescue centre By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
A baby harbour seal will have a new lease on life after it was rescued from the shore of the Pitt River near Peace Park in Port Coquitlam Tuesday. Th e n ew b o r n s o m e -
how was separated from its mother — likely while she was foraging for food — and was picked up by staff from the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre with help from the Coquitlam RCMP. “It’s nice to close a file with a good end,” said Const. Eric Lauzon, who, with Const. Sarah Brown waited for the rescue team to arrive Tuesday afternoon after placing a wrap above the seal to give it some shade.
Brown and Lauzon said they grew attached to the little seal in just a short time. “He’s so cute,”Brown said. A few passersby who noted the seal in the water late Tuesday night returned the next day to see if he was OK and called the rescue centre. The rescue team arrived at about 2:30 p.m., after assessing the situation, and picking up three other baby seals that day. “It was a busy day for us,” said manager Lindsaye

Demolition crews are busy clearing space for a guideway for an 11-kilometre transit line in Port Moody. “Work on the second section of the transition is underway and will be complete in mid-September.” She noted that once the transition tunnel is complete, the detour at View Street will be eliminated and the southbound lanes of the Barnet Highway will be moved back to their normal position. A parking lot at Moody Station has been completed and a second lot is expected to open in September. We s t C o a s t E x p r e s s (WCE) passengers can use
the park-and-ride, which can be accessed from Williams and Spring Street. A second lot at Hugh Street will open in September. The new parking areas will not add any additional stalls, but will make way for the SkyTrain station, which will be located next to the WCE station. At Inlet Centre, utility relocation has been completed and excavation work continues for the future station that will be located near Port Moody city hall. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Hercules and posted information about him on their website and Facebook page. When he arrived, he weighed about 12 kg but was extremely dehydrated, said Akhurst, who said staff will feed him electrolytes by tube five times a day to re-hydrate him before putting him on formula. If all goes well, and he gains weight properly and is able to feed on fish, he could be returned to the wild in about two months. For now though, Hercules
is holding his own, although he will need some tender-loving care for awhile. “He’s pretty lethargic, we are treating him for dehydration, malnutrition and anything else that comes as we need to,”Akhurst said.

Smart meter class action lawsuit off to slow start By Jeff Nagel
By Gary McKenna The Evergreen Line is starting to take shape in the Tri-Cities, with demolition and preparation work being conducted throughout the length of the route. Last week, the first column went up at the corner of Como Lake Avenue and Clarke Road, near what will eventually be Burquitlam Station. Demolition work has also been conducted at Andres Wines in Port Moody, where crews are clearing the way for a guideway for the 11-kilometre transit line. Kate Trotter, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation, said work is also continuing on the transition tunnel under the Barnet Highway. “The first section is complete and northbound traffic on the Barnet has been moved back to its original configuration,” she said in an email.
Akhurst, who noted that it’s not uncommon for baby seals to be separated from their mothers shortly after birthing, either because of tidal changes, human interference, and, occasionally, because the new mom is confused. The centre, which runs completely on donations, currently has more than 44 baby harbour seals in its care, most of them separated from their moms, for one reason or another. Rescue centre staff named the male harbour seal
Opponents of BC Hydro’s wireless smart meters are scrambling to quickly assemble enough people willing to be part of a planned class-action lawsuit they hope delivers a permanent opt-out from the program. Vi c t o r i a r e s i d e n t Sharon Noble, with the group Citizens for Safe Technology, said success in convincing a judge to certify the class action may hinge on how many people take part. She estimated Wednesday that 100 to 150 people are registered — a start she called slow — but added hundreds more sign-ups are likely in progress. Given the number of people who have blocked smart meter installation or had one installed against their wishes, she said, it would be surprising if thousands don’t join the lawsuit. “The courts would be very influenced by having a large number,” Noble said, adding a judge could soon begin considering whether to certify the class action. “The more
people we have signed on by then, the more likely the courts would look on this as being a very significant movement, as opposed to a movement of a handful.” About 60,000 households have refused smart meters or less than four per cent of all BC Hydro customers. BC Hydro has not yet issued its response to the claim filed July 25 on behalf of representative plaintiff Nomi Davis. It demands free choice “without extortive fees, coercion or conditions designed to intimidate.” Registering with the lawsuit costs $100. The provincial government has indicated those who still have analog power meters they want to keep will be able to pay around $20 a month extra to continue manual meter readings. Opponents aren’t happy with the fees or Hydro indications that smart meters may still replace analog ones as they break down. They also say those with smart meters should have the ability to turn off wireless transmissions. “The opt-out option that Hydro is offering needs to
be a legitimate one,” White Rock resident Linda Ewart said. “What they need to say is ‘If you don’t want one of these meters, you don’t need to have them.’” Another concern over choice is what happens when someone moves to a new home and a smart meter is already installed. Many objectors claim health concerns or sensitivity to radio-frequency waves, even though thirdparty tests have found emissions from smart meters are low compared to other sources. BC Hydro officials say the lead plaintiff’s analog meter was broken and had to be replaced for safety reasons. “BC Hydro will work through the judicial process to explain why we are obligated to replace a customer’s meter when there is potential for a safety hazard,” said Greg Reimer, executive vice-president of transmission and distribution, in a statement. He said both the B.C. Court of Appeal and B.C. Utilities Commission have previously dismissed smart meter legal challenges and that Hydro has “acted at all times within the law.”

Triceratops, bikes stolen Stories by Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A stolen life-size Triceratops prop that went missing from a Coquitlam home on Wednesday has been located, according to Coquitlam RCMP. Jim Armstrong, the owner of the dinosaur, said he is relieved after an anonymous tipster led Mounties to a home five blocks away, where the life-size plastic herbivore was found under a tarp. “The RCMP found him,” Armstrong said. “We went over there last night with a flat deck and picked it up. It has been taken to a secure location.” The dinosaur was stolen between 2 and 5 p.m. on Wednesday from the 200-block of Marmont Street, where it had been locked in a driveway. Investigators said the prop, which is rented out to corporations to use for promotional events, is worth thousands of dollars. Armstrong added that police have not been able to identify the person who took the dinosaur and he does not know whether it was a prank or if someone intended to keep the item. “We never found the culprits,” he said. “They found it through a tipster. They never got the person that took it.”

More TransLink staff earning sixfigure salaries By Jeff Nagel Black Press
TransLink is again being accused of paying its managers too much after the release of financial disclosures showing higher pay for top executives and more staff receiving in excess of $100,000. The documents show 141 TransLink employees collected six-figure salaries in 2012, up nearly 15 per cent from the previous year. CEO Ian Jarvis collected $394,730 in combined salary and bonuses, up three per cent. Pension contributions and other benefits pushed his total compensation to $438,700. His base salary for January 2012 was listed at $310,000, which TransLink says has not changed since 2011. Three other senior executives – chief operating officer Doug Kelsey, chief financial officer Cathy McLay and executive vice-president Bob Paddon – also earned over $300,000 in overall compensation. Kelsey was second highest with a $280,000 base salary. Bonuses, benefits and pension contributions pushed his compensation total to $377,000 in 2012. Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said TransLink should roll back executive and management salaries as a first step to cut costs and avoid tax hikes for service expansion. “We say not another nickel for TransLink,” he
said. “Their leadership has completely lost touch with the people they are supposed to be serving. “This tone-deaf fiscal mismanagement will come back to haunt them in next year’s TransLink referendum.” Eight TransLink executives were paid bonuses totalling $215,000 in 2012 related to 2011 performance. The incentive pay amounts ranged from a low of $9,300 to a high of $57,350 for Jarvis. Nearly 60 of the employees earning over $100,000 are Transit Police officers, which Bateman calls “overpaid fare checkers” who don’t work on enough serious crimes to justify their expense. TransLink spokesperson Jiana Ling said Transit Police are critical to keeping the transit system safe and have helped reduce crime. “We’re doing our best to reduce cost and be more efficient while maintaining service delivery standards,” Ling said, adding TransLink’s executive compensation structure has been reviewed and approved by the province. “While we are not a Crown corporation, we operate prudently within government guidelines.” The transportation authority has been through multiple internal and external reviews in recent years in an ongoing search for savings. In the course of that, TransLink has slashed its upper management ranks by liminating a dozen vice-presidents or other senior executives.

CUPE to vote on agreement By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
More than 900 unionized members working for the city of Coquitlam will vote next week on a new collective agreement. The ratification meeting for CUPE Local 386 civic staff will happen next Thursday night in Coquitlam; as of yesterday, they had yet to see the terms of the proposed contract. The workers have been without a deal since Dec. 31, 2011, making them among the last civic employees in Metro Vancouver to be without a new contract. CUPE Local 386 president Ken Landgraff was not available for comment Thursday; however, deputy city manager John DuMont confirmed a memorandum of agreement had been reached last month. DuMont was not able to give details about the tentative contract. The ratification vote will come three months
after Port Coquitlam workers with CUPE Local 498 green-lighted their new collective agreement that sees a 6.75% wage increase over four years, effective Jan. 1, 2012, and ending Dec. 31, 2015 (a call to Local 498 president Brian Savage was not returned by The Tri-City News’ print deadline). And last December, Port Moody city workers with CUPE Local 825 also OK’d their new deal that amounts to 6.75% over four years — the same wage hike as in New Westminster, whose unionized staff inked their contract last summer, making it the first municipality in Metro Vancouver to reach a new collective agreement and thereby setting the bar for regional negotiations. Most cities in Metro Vancouver abandoned collective bargaining through the now-defunct Metro Vancouver Labour Relations Bureau after signing their last contracts with their CUPE locals.
The issue of unioni z e d wo r k e r s ’ p ay was raised during the November 2011 civic elections at all-candidates’ meetings in the Tri-Cities, with many Coquitlam council incumbents and challeng-
ers vowing to take a “hard line” against rising wages at city hall. The historical pattern is that salary hikes for unionized workers are also extended to city managers.

A huge jump in bear sightings and complaints about bruins eating garbage has prompted the city of Port Coquitlam to send out letters warning homeowners about fines for leaving their trash unsecured. As many as 10,000 letters were sent out in early August to remind homeowners about the need to lock up their trash or risk a $150 fine. “Clearly there’s a need to put some attention to this,” city bylaw manager Dan Scoones said, noting that conservation officers recorded 190 bear complaints last month, as many as the city usually gets in one year. This is the third year in a row the city has held a summertime enforcement blitz on both the north and south sides of the community. The letters inform residents that they can avoid a fine if they secure their garbage and food scraps (either by adding an approved locking device to their carts, or by keeping them in a bear-proof shelter such as a garage) and to only set out their carts at the curb between 5:30-

Timeline
Coquitlam adopted Pesticide Use Control Bylaw No. 4254 on April 23rd, 2012. This means many pesticides can no longer be used for lawn and garden beautification and maintenance on residential and City land, even if they are legally allowed for sale. Common active ingredients in most conventional pesticides, such as 2,4-D, Mecoprop, Dicamba, Glyphosate, Carbaryl and Malathion are now restricted under the Bylaw. Please see coquitlam.ca/pesticides for more details and a list of permitted pesticides.

Elect senators?
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
■ WHAT WE THINK: Embattled senator Pamela Wallin is reported as saying she and the auditors don’t see eye to eye on senate duties and therefore she disagrees with their conclusion that some of her expenses were dubious. Wallin has already paid back $38,000 in expenses and believes she shouldn’t be on the hook for more expenses she incurred as an activist senator working on causes important to Canadians. Perhaps she’s got a solution to the age-old question of what to do with this hoary institution. Since nobody knows exactly what a senator does, and the job description is left up to unelected senators, it’s time for drastic reform or outright elimination of the upper chamber. Electing senators would at least make the institution more transparent but could take years to achieve. In the meantime, the public wants to see online detailed expenses for every politician at every level of government.

Time for B.C.’s liquor laws to be overhauled AS I SEE IT Christopher Foulds
N
ot only is alcohol much cheaper in the United States (eleven bucks for a case of Heineken helped make a recent vacation Stateside that much better), but it is also more widely available than here in B.C. These facts are well-known to every of-age Canadian who has travelled to the U.S. — and may form some of the feedback residents are expected to give Victoria as the BC Liberal government launches the first significant review of liquor policy since 1999. Visitors to the United States know one can buy beer or wine in department stores like Target, in grocery stores like Safeway and in corner stores like 7-Eleven. It’s a convenience that seems to operate just fine; ingrained as it is in the U.S. — and in Quebec — it doesn’t seem to be a big deal
to anyone but a first-time visitor from bureaucratic B.C., where some of the existing regulations can leave many heads wounded from much scratching. From some reason, one beer and wine store cannot open within one kilometre from another without first hurdling regulatory hell; restaurants cannot buy alcohol from a private liquor store, only from public stores; there are no happy hours allowed and the number of rules dictating when and where and how businesses can and cannot sell alcohol is positively Byzantine. Is anybody not puzzled by the fact the cheapest bottle of B.C. wine can be found far from B.C. — in California? Or that one can drink a beer with their kids while seated at a table at the sketchiest of restaurants, but cannot do the same with their kids while seated at a table at the most upscale of pubs? JohnYap, parliamentary secretary for liquor policy reform, is expected to submit a report to Justice Minister Suzanne Anton by Nov. 25,

■
after which it will be made public. “Right now, some of B.C.’s liquor laws go back many years,”Anton said, noting the Liberals are looking at making“practical and responsible changes that promote consumer convenience and economic growth in the province, with a strong eye to maintaining public safety and protecting the health of our citizens.” The government’s record on protecting the public has been the focus of the University of Victoria’s Centre for Addictions Research, which argues that B.C. leads and lags in alcohol-related policy. The Centre for Addictions Research also published a report, in partnership with the Prevention Research Center in Berkeley, Calif., that argued privatizing liquor sales results in more alcohol-related deaths. Of course, there are critics of that research and I am sure both sides will weigh in when asked to provide input as B.C. attempts, yet again, to simplify its alcohol regulations. One would hope the resulting policies will
seriously address the“taboo”aspect of alcohol that is so prevalent in B.C. When I was 15 or so, my girlfriend’s father offered me a beer during dinner at her house. I was taken aback, but learned that sipping a beer or wine during dinner is nothing new for teens in Europe. As my then-girlfriend noted, it therefore ceases to become an elusive tonic to be abused when one reaches a magical age. This mature approach to alcohol could be extended, of course, to allowing a couple to relax in a park with a bottle of wine; to allow patrons to actually continue to enjoy their summer night on a restaurant or pub patio without the dreaded 11 p.m. curfew kicking in; to allow busy people to stop at a grocery story and add a six-pack to their grocery cart. The government has asked 10,000 liquorrelated businesses to provide input on liquor regulations. The public will have its say in September. Christopher Foulds is editor of Kamloops This Week.

FACE TO FACE: Moving Olympics from Sochi to Vancouver?
Many venues are still intact O
ver the past several weeks, there has been a growing chorus of voices calling for a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi because of the Russian government’s anti-gay legislation. Some are not just calling for a boycott — there are more than 100,000 people who have signed a petition asking the International Olympic Committee to relocate the Games to Vancouver. I agree with both movements. The Olympic Charter clearly states that “the practice of sport is a human right.” “Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.” Russia’s new laws — which essentially allow authorities to arrest tourists and foreign nationals they suspect of promoting homosexual behaviour — is discriminatory against gay and lesbian athletes. If an Olympic host chose to discriminate against people of colour or against Jewish people, would we still be having this argument? No, the international community
would have boycotted a long time ago. Why should it be any different for the gay community? The only reason to keep the Games as planned is for the athletes who have spent their whole adult lives training. And, therein lies the beauty of Part 2: Relocating the Games to Vancouver. Most, if not all, the venues are still intact: Rogers Arena for hockey and figure skating, the Richmond Oval for speed skating, the Pacific Coliseum for curling and Whistler Olympic Park for cross country and downhill skiing, ski jumping, bobsleigh, skeleton, etc. I’m sure my colleague opposite listed some of the logistical problems of re-hosting such an event. Certainly, there would be a lot of hiccups and it wouldn’t be as grand as it could have been in Sochi or was in Vancouver in 2010. And I know you have people like Vancouver City Councillor Geoff Meggs who say it’s impossible. Yes, it does look like a daunting task. But come on, let’s show a little vision here, shall we. There’s always a thousand reasons not to do something but in this case, there is one meaningful reason to do something. Let’s bring back the Games.

Boycotts rarely show results N
the then-USSR out of Afghanistan Come to our nor embarrassed its people — to
o Andy. We don’t want to boycott the Sochi Olympics. Olympic boycotts may feel good, but they don’t work. In fact, they’re counterproductive. I admit that it warms my cockles to see my neo-con colleague and others, not exactly champions of the downtrodden, suddenly evangelistic about an Olympic boycott in support of the LGBTQ community. Such an ironic conservative conversion is an overdue and welcome capitulation to the inexorable march towards human rights for the LGBTQ community. But it’s also an illustration of why Olympic boycotts don’t work. These are political statements, not an encouragement for human rights. Their effect is to polarize political positions and fan the cold war; to entrench positions not change them. What Olympic historians call “the boycott era” began in Montreal in 1976, when 28 nations boycotted the Games because New Zealand wasn’t kicked out for playing rugby against South Africa. China boycotted because Taiwan was allowed to participate. New Zealand,Taiwan and China were ultimately unaffected — except for their athletes, who were denied their Olympic dream. In short, the boycott didn’t work. The U.S.-led boycott of the 1980
Moscow Olympics neither shamed
Seniors Resource Fair
Russians it was just more western petulance. It didn’t work. And the Soviet boycott of the 1984 Los Angeles Games was so ineffective; I can’t even remember what it was about. It definitely didn’t work. There hasn’t been a significant boycott since Barcelona in 1992, and renewing the decade-dead“boycott era”isn’t the best way to fight Russia’s bigoted anti-gay laws. The world should be at the Sochi Olympics; smartphones poised. If any Russian official so much as whispers an anti-gay epithet, the world will know by the end of the day. One need only look to the Arab Spring to see the power of the presence of social media. No Andy, taking our Olympic balls and going home won’t hasten Russia’s acceptance of their LGBTQ community, no matter how many neo-cons jump on the anti-Russian, I mean pro-gay, bandwagon. In 1986, I showed Bill Vander Zalm’s Socred government what was what by boycotting Expo ’86. That also didn’t work, because like Olympic boycotts, it was a petulant and clumsy political strategy.

Fine those who feed the bears The Editor, Re, “Feeding bears = dead animals, say COs,” The Tri-City News, Aug. 14. After reading this story, I felt much disappointment and anger towards humanity. People are completely aware of the dangers of feeding bears; not only to themselves but to the bear itself. There are numerous flyers around parks stating “bear in area” with points on what you should not do if encountering one. The newspapers often have stories about bears during the spring and summer months when they are most active, stating what not to do when encountering one. Any person who feeds bears should be fined and penalized for their foolishness and complete disrespect for wildlife. The bears end up losing their life. Why is that just a normal thing to read about with no consequences?
Our natural environment is being destroyed by human carelessness; whether it’s from a cigarette causing a forest fire, an oil spill devastating a salmon-rich creek or people feeding wildlife where the animals end up shot. If there were actual consequences to ignorant behaviour, maybe nature would have a fighting chance against our never-ending population. I’m so sick of reading about conservation officers shooting and killing bears. Bears don’t seem to get a second chance anymore with being tranquilized and relocated so why should these bear feeders get one? Fine them heavily and give them community service in educating others on bear awareness and then donate the money to bear conservation and more education to those who clearly need it.

Share Bear club highlights kids’ efforts to help group

The Tri-CiTy News
Children are among the biggest contributors to the food bank and Share Family and Community Services plans to recognize that fact with a new club to highlight their efforts. While Share has long appreciated the donations kids make with proceeds from crafts, bake sales, lemonade stands and other initiatives, the Share Bear Kids Club will provide more formal recognition of their efforts. “Whatever the campaign, what they all have in common is the spirit of giving,” says Kate Lawrence, director of development at Share. To join, kids fill out a registration form and Share will recognize them on its website and social media. One of the first club members is Madelyne Bowman, five, a Coquitlam Grade 1 student who handed over more than $60 from a lemonade stand she held in June. “It’s good,”Madelyne said of the club. The Glenayre elementary school student said she wanted the money she raised to go to the food bank so “children and grown-ups who don’t have money can have food.” Her mother, Vicki, said giving to Share has been a “positive” experience and her daughter will probably hold another lemonade stand again to raise money for Share. Madelyne set up the lemonade stand, complete with signs, and additional treats such as granola bars, at the side of a popular bicycle path near her Coquitlam home. “It was fun, she’d wanted to do a lemonade stand for a long time.” The Share Bear Kids Club will launch tomorrow (Aug. 17) at Port Moody’s Centennial community picnic and fireworks celebration at Rocky Point Park. Children who have already done something for Share and the community, or who would like to learn more about becoming a club member, cam email Teri Towner at teri.towner@sharesociety.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Home prices in the Tri-Cities see marginal decline available. Despite the drop, home prices across the Lower Mainland stayed relatively steady, according to Sandra Wyant, the president of the REBGV. “Home prices continue to experience considerable stability with minimal fluctuation throughout much of this year,” she said. “This stability in price brings greater certainty to the home buying and selling process.” Over the last three years, most Tri-City homeowners have seen an increase in the value of their real estate. In Coquitlam, the average home price has

Still a few weeks left in prime blueberry season By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
It’s been a banner year for blueberries, says Karam Dhanwant, who has been growing the delicate summer treat for more than 30 years. But like all good things, even blueberry season must end. There are only a few weeks left to purchase or pick berries at the six-acre u-pick farm before summer turns to fall and the leafy shrubs take a break until next spring. Dhanwant said consumers have been getting great berries — and deals — at the farm gate, and, with some of the sweetest berries around, the Port Coquitlam farm has been drawing pickers from near and far. “The season is much better than last year,” Dhanwant explained, noting that the more moderate spring and summer temperatures, along with the sun, have helped produce a top crop. For example, Dhanwant’s Ankar Farm Market at 2952 Burns Rd. in Port Coquitlam sells berries at $1.50 per pound for amounts under 10 lb and $1 per lb for 10 lb or more. “We went straight to the people,”
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Manjeet Kaur picks blueberries with Ankar Fruit Farm owner Karam Dhanwant on a sunny day in early August. This year’s crop was juicy and sweet, thanks to warm weather for most of the growing season, said Dhanwant, who has grown berries on his Port Coquitlam farm for over 30 years. said Dhanwant, noting that people appreciate the freshness of newlypicked berries. “They have this conscience that they want to support the farms.” Blueberries can also be found, along with other B.C. grown fruits and vegetables, at local farmer’s markets. PoCo’s market runs Thursdays to Sept. 26 at Leigh Square. Coquitlam’s Farmers’ Markets
run Sundays to Oct. 27, in the Dogwood Pavilion parking lot off Poirier Street, but the ninth annual Blueberry Pancake Breakfast paying homage to the delicious berry will take place Aug. 18. In Port Moody, the next farmers’ market is today (Aug. 16) at the Port Moody recreation complex running from 3-7 p.m. PoMo’s market runs every Friday until Oct. 25. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

KidSport summer used equipment sale Saturday By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
When Sharon McKay’s son was five, she signed him up for minor lacrosse. Through Rissa Wilson, the vice principal of the Coquitlam Basic Alternate Education school —where she works as a teacher — McKay learned about KidSport, a Tri-City-based, volunteerdriven charity that helps less fortunate kids get active. The program — of which Wilson’s husband, Chris, oversees — raises its cash primarily through bi-annual sales of used sporting equipment that is donated by the community. Intrigued, McKay decided to check it out and she was glad she did: She walked out with shoulder, kidney, elbow and knee lacrosse pads and a helmet for $45. “I was so happy when I left,” McKay recalled, “because it would have set me back more than three times that for new stuff.” For the past three years, McKay has returned for every KidSport Tri-City sale, purchasing more gear (BMX bike helmet for $5, a hockey net, etc.) for her boy, Ian. This and next year, he’s enrolled in PoCo minor baseball, soccer and lacrosse. And tomorrow (Saturday) McKay will be in line to load up on more recycled products. “You can’t go wrong because it’s not only in good shape and a good deal but you know that your money will help out kids in need. How can you go wrong?” Since it started, KidSport Tri-Cities has raised more than $450,000 and supported 2,451 kids as well as funded 43 sports organizations. Last summer, the KidSport sale generated around $18,000 while its recent spring event took in about $17,000. Organizers hope to collect $25,000 from Saturday’s sale at the Poirier Sports

Admission to the bi-annual sale is by donation or with an item for the food bank. The event will be at the Poirier leisure centre. and Leisure Complex, which is sponsored in part by The Tri-City News. Executive director Chris Wilson said donations have been overwhelming. This week, a volunteer spent two hours loading up second-hand sports gear at the Poirier centre. As well, KidSport has many donations left over from its March sale at Riverside secondary — goods that are stored in the basement at Como Lake middle school. “People are so generous with what they’re giving,” said Wilson, a former Olympic wrestler. Still, with so many contributions on hand, it can be a problem. “It’s very important that we get people out to buy on Saturday,” Wilson said. “Otherwise, it just sits there until the next sale and that doesn’t benefit anyone.” Wilson said with the soccer season ramping up next month and hockey underway, now is the time to purchase athletic swag for cheap such as skates, cleats and bikes. • The KidSport Used Equipment Sale runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre (633 Poirier St., Coquitlam). Admission is by donation or with an item for the food bank. jwarren@tricitynews.com

YOUR HISTORY Bryan Ness
Port Coquitlam the definition of a company town
T
he Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) has always had strong community ties to the city of Port Coquitlam. The title company town certainly did apply to the mostly blue-collar city up until the latter half of the 20th century. In those days, you or one of your family members possibly worked for the CPR, Essondale (Riverview) or the city. It was not uncommon to have two or three generations connected with CPR. Doug Rowland was well-known in Port Coquitlam for his contributions to the sport of lacrosse; he was elected to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1976. He worked as a telegraph operator with the CPR for many years, retiring in 1963. His father, Jacob, was the first station agent at Westminster Junction, which is what Port Coquitlam was previously known as, and lived above the station with his family after he arrived here in 1894.To make the story complete, Doug’s son Glen was a CPR engineer for many of his 42 years of service, witnessing the transition from steam engines to diesel in the 1950s. Bill Warren, whose career spanned more than 37 years (1948-1986) began as a brakeman during the steam era as well, and remembers the changeover. On Jan. 13, 1950, the first
port coquitlam historical society/the tri-city news
A number of CPR employees stand near one of the locomotives in the Port Coquitlam yard in the 1950s. General Motors diesel units hauling transcontinental passenger train number seven arrived in Port Coquitlam to much fanfare. The EMD FP7A and two F7B units generating 4,500hp were part of a three-month test as to the viability of replacing steam power with diesel-electric.The end of the 1950s saw the last remaining steam locomotives retired from active service with the railway, and by May 1960, the process was complete. A recent retiree from the CPR is Shane Warren, Bill’s son, whose last run was as engineer on the West Coast Express Train number two last month. Their family ties with the company date back to around 1900, when Thomas Greer, Shane’s great-grandfather, owned
the land where the Safeway at Shaughnessy Station Shopping Centre is today. In those days prior to the building of the CPR yards, Schoolhouse Road (now Mary Hill Road) continued north to the old Flint Road, and Thomas operated a butcher shop there. After the railway bought his property for their new roundhouse, Thomas moved his house
across from where the Commercial Hotel was by then under construction. The 12-stall roundhouse, built in 1912 by Sanford Gordon and Son, was very active during the heyday of steam, until torn down in the early 1980s. Long-time PoCo residents may recall the CPR housing that existed along the south side of Dewdney Trunk Road (later Lougheed Highway) across from the Commercial Hotel well into the 1960s. Notable families who lived there through those years included the McDonagh, Stretch, Fryer, Duffus and McMitchell families. It was a time when you could set your watch by the whistle at the Roundhouse, heard all over town at 8 a.m., noon, 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., and hear the sound of steam engines labouring on a crisp clear night as they chugged their way through town. In a company town known as Port Coquitlam. Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history.

Kidney Walk happens Sunday at Town Centre By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
William and Louise MacKintosh weren’t going to let something called “kidney disease” get in the way of their golden years. Despite being diagnosed in 1982, William and his wife have been an active couple: They enjoy travelling, golfing, walking, spending time with their four grandkids — aged eight to 11 — and dancing (he is the former president of the Glenayre Scottish Country Dance Club in Port Moody). But in February 2012, when he was put on dialysis after his kidney function dropped to 6% and his health got weaker, the former Coquitlam residents knew time was ticking. William had been on the waiting list for two years for a kidney transplant, hoping for a pair exchange with another husband-wife team also in need of a donation. When that didn’t pan out, doctors asked the MacKintoshes if they would be willing to try an experiment: For William to take one of Louise’s kidneys, even though it was not compatible. “They came to us and said, ‘Would you like to be the guinea pigs?’” said William, now 67. “We thought, ‘Why not?’”
The operation was done on July 16, 2012, at Vancouver General Hospital — the first noncompatible kidney transplant to happen outside of the Toronto area. Recovery took six weeks, after which William visited with doctors regularly to see his progress. Today, his kidney function is at 60% “and Bill and I can do everything we did before,” Louise said. “Everything is good,” William added. “In fact, the doctors have said it’s one of the best transplants they’ve seen in a long time.” William now gets check-ups every two months and he volunteers and fundraises often with the Kidney Foundation of Canada. On Sunday, he and Louise are the regional honourees for the Kidney Walk in the TriCities, which takes place at 10 a.m. at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. There, the Langley couple will be joined by the Glenayre Scottish Country Dance Club to perform a routine. And William will also speak about the need

to be tested by a doctor for high blood pressure, which caused his kidney disease (his mother also died from the illness). “A lot of people don’t know they have kidney disease so it’s important that they get checked and to look over their family history,”William said. “We also want to make people aware that they can live with one kidney. “In my case, my wife saved my life. In fact, I
can tee up for ladies’ golf because I have a woman’s kidney now. It’s really improved my game,” he joked. • Registration for the Kidney Walk in the TriCities starts at 9 a.m. on Aug. 18 at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park (off Pinetree Way).

BUSINESS PROFILE: Austin heights Dental
Dentist reaches in to help out kids The Tri-CiTy News
Wh e n C o q u i t l a m dentist Derek Kim practiced in Comox and Chilliwack, his office offered a unique service to the public. They asked for people to write in requesting a free dental makeover and the person who they judged was the most in need got the work done over a course of a year. “It was really amazing how much it changed their lives,”Kim recalled. Recently, Kim has been wanting to do some more outreach, especially overseas; however,
his personal time has been limited these days with his toddler twins. As a result, he and his staff at Austin Heights Dental will be staying close to home when they host their first free community dental day for kids age under 14. The session, which runs on Tuesday, Aug. 20, involves an exam by Kim or fellow dentist Mehran Mousavi (who is volunteering his time) as well as two x-rays — at no charge. Appointments will be scheduled for about 30 minutes each for young children and 25 minutes each for teens.
For the preschoolers and elementary school kids, the session will be more of a meet-andgreet to familiarize them with the environment and to try out the dentist chair, Kim said. Overall, education will be key, reminding them to brush and floss daily and return to the dentist twice a year. The program is “a great exposure for the kids,” Kim said, adding, “A lot of times, they don’t get to visit with the dentist at all because their parents can’t afford it or they don’t have benefits through work. We want to make it as easy
as possible for them and their children.” Kim said many children will be in his family dentistry office that day so “they’ll be around their peers. It’s also really good if they bring a sibling along so they can make it fun.” He added, “This is our way of giving back to the community... and, if this is a success, I’m sure we’ll repeat it soon in the future.” • To book an appointment, call 604-931-5550. jwarren@tricitynews.com

“knew it all along”ask yourself whether you really did. 4. Obsession Do you follow the performance of your investments minute-by-minute on TV or the internet? Do you dwell on short-term changes in the market value of your investments? Take a step back and look at the big picture. 5. Denial When stock markets go down, investors can sometimes panic and sell what is still fundamentally a good investment. The flipside of this is denial when investors continue to hold an investment that has gone bad, thinking it will eventually come back. It can be hard, but when an investment has fundamentally deteriorated, it may be time to sell. 6. Greed The desire to“get rich quick”compels many investors to take bigger risks than they should, such as investing too much in a single investment. When the risk doesn’t pay off, it can jeopardize their financial security. That doesn’t mean you should never take a risk – it’s a normal part of investing. The key is to take well-calculated risks within a properly diversified investment portfolio, which is designed with your personal risk tolerance in mind. 7. Herd instinct When we see other people doing something, we have a natural tendency to think that it must be a good thing and we should do it too. This“herd instinct”is often behind sharp ups and downs in the financial markets. When other people are buying, propelling the market upwards, we buy too, sending the market even higher. Successful investing over the long term is less about how the markets are doing than how we react to what the markets are doing.

The seven pitfalls to C O N T E S T avoid for investing Do you get anxious when the stock markets are volatile? Or do you feel optimistic that everything will turn out fine? Both reactions – natural parts of your psychological makeup – can actually impede your progress towards your investment goals. The good news is that you can gain some control over your psychological responses, unlike the financial markets. The following are seven psychological pitfalls of investing and how you can avoid them. 1. Optimism People have a natural tendency to overestimate the likelihood of positive results on everything from the weather to investing. This largely explains why people are so often disappointed by their investment performance: they simply felt they would do better based on this psychological bias. Avoiding the feeling of disappointment is only one good reason why you should consciously compensate for this natural optimism. 2. Overconfidence Another powerful psychological bias is overconfidence. Just as people tend to be overly optimistic about the probability of positive results, they also tend to be overconfident about their own talents. Some investors think that they can“outsmart the market”and even control largely unpredictable events such as stock market volatility. This leads to one of the most common pitfalls of investing: market timing. 3. Hindsight Hindsight is the tendency to believe that after something has happened, you knew all along that it would even though you didn’t. This tendency can lead you to believe that events are far more predictable than they really are, raising unrealistic expectations about how well your investments will perform and your advisor’s ability to foretell the future, among other things. If you find yourself confidently declaring that you

Parents Guide 2013 Lunch Boxes Three Questions to ask yourself
Lunch boxes come in every imaginable shape and size, so everyone is sure to find the perfect one for their style and tastes. For the younger set, there are lunch boxes with pictures of cartoon heroes or international stars; teenagers prefer something trendier in line with what they wear, maybe, or bags can be used to carry things other than just food.
STURDINESS To choose the best lunch box, check how sturdy it is. Double or triple stitching is best. Pay attention to the handle; it shouldn’t give way under the weight of its contents. It should also be able to stand up to some rough treatment.
CAPACITY Ensure that it’s big enough to contain a thermos for hot food. These days more lunch boxes are made with reliable thermal insulation that can keep foods cool for several hours, but try to find one with a compartment designed for an ice pack.
“Money has always been tight for my mother and me, and this will go a long way in easing any anxiety this last semester. The first thing I did when I received the award letter was call my mom in tears. She said, ‘You’ve worked hard. You deserve it.”’
EFFICIENCY Some lunch boxes come with a removable liner, which makes cleaning up spilled food a whole lot easier. Foldable lunch boxes are also very practical, as well as those that can expand to accommodate large containers.
TARYN KLASSEN Psychiatric Nursing grad. Transcending depression and anxiety.
Lastly, even though the best of lunch boxes should be well designed, it is important that your children be happy with the design. After all, they are the ones who will be carrying them to school every day!

Parents Guide 2013 Don’t like your teenager’s latest look?
“Educating and developing each individual student in a Christ-centered community.”
The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes. When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties. Yes, it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to confirm to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters before setting out. Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in
MAIN CAMPUS Grades K - 7
the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look. If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match. Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and leave the door open for other compromises. After all, who’s never upset their parents with some unconventional clothing.

Parents Guide 2013 The anxiety of back to school
their emotional stress: neck, shoulders, lower back or even our internal systems. At the end of a stressful day, do you feel stress in your body?
Anyone else notice a shift in your child’s behavior around the August long weekend? Your happy, laid back, summer enjoying child is suddenly frustrated, angry and reactive again. It’s like they notice the days are slightly shorter, the back to school ads are on, and they can feel the preparations coming even before you as the parent have really started to think about it.
A large portion of the families I work with have children with neuro-developmental disorders, things like autism, ADD/ ADHD, and other learning and behavioral challenges. It is estimated that one in six children has a learning or behavior disorder and one in 50 children are now diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Many times these conditions are accompanied by sensory sensitivities which contribute greatly to anxiety; and anxiety and stress bring on heightened sensory sensitivities.
is he was experiencing sensory overload. There are solutions!!! As a chiropractor, the first thing I do is evaluate the child’s nervous system for spinal misalignments and nerve system interference. Adjustments along with diet, nutrition and specific play based exercises are usually recommended. We also offer other modalities that have a proven track record with helping with anxiety, stress and sensory sensitivities; massage therapy, herbal formulas, nutritious food, clinical hypnotherapy and energy work such as reikii and heart resonance. As a mom, while we’d like to “baton down the hatches” the biggest key is being aware of what might be driving our kids’ behaviors. A good friend of mine also said
www.tricitynews.com
“that no child wants to behave badly”; there is always an underlying cause. At this time of year, I am very watchful about his needs, does he need an earlier bedtime tonight, or time away from his sister, or more intense outside play, or to sit quietly with a book and it is always something different. While parenting these children can be challenging, there is support and tools available. For any questions regarding chiropractic care or other therapies for children, contact your local health care provider. Dr. Nareeta Stephenson has been in chiropractic practice for 12 years and her family oriented healing centre is located in Port Coquitlam.

Parents Guide 2013 Children and the Web A few traps to avoid The start of a new school year is always a good opportunity to remind children about a few safety rules: don’t talk to strangers, cross the road at intersections, and stay on the sidewalks. However, in this era of the Internet, another important element should never be forgotten: Internet Safety.

Parents must also discuss with their children the risks and the traps to avoid. Sitting in front of a computer screen seems to protect and isolate us, but the Internet is a window in the world at large. The golden rule is to never do on the Web

Even though computers, tables and smart phones are great for staying in touch or for doing school work, the fact remains that danger lurks on the Internet, including cyber bullying and cyber predators. Prudence is just as necessary on the Web as it is elsewhere. First of all, children should never use a nickname that reveals their age. They should never, ever accept an invitation from someone who asks them not to talk about it to other people. Parents must also make their children, especially daughters, aware of the consequences of on the most dangerous activities on the Web – the posting of sexy or suggestive photos. Once on the Internet, these images can circulate nonstop, long into the future. This issue has caused plenty of grief for many young women.

what you wouldn’t dare do on the street. Because of this, careful supervision is vital. In fact, it is recommended to setup the computer in a communal area of the home so that parents can keep on attentive eye on the use their children make of it. If parents believe that their child is the victim of entrapment or bullying, they should be aware that they do have recourse against this type of criminal activity. Record and print any conversations and contact your local police immediately.

Parents Guide 2013 Tips for an unforgettable family vacation Are you planning on spending some quality time with your family this summer? No matter what your destination, the length of the trip, or the age of your children, the success of this adventure depends on rock solid organization. Routes, documents, insurance – everything has to be in order before departure day. Try and do your packing well in advance so that no essentials are forgotten, such as bathing suits, eyeglasses, and passports for crossing the border in the US or other countries. Make sure all the necessary reservations have been made for lodgings (hotel, motel, campground) and activities (zoo, day trip, amusement park). Because the weather doesn’t always cooperate, be sure to have a few backup plans in place. You might want to scout out the nearest movie theatre, bowling alley, and shopping centre for example. This will help you avoid unhappy faces and grumpy moods. Keep in mind that traveling with children is a totally different ball game than traveling as a couple. This applies to both budget and

Containers hold homes in Downtown Eastside Affordable housing is taking a new twist with a complex in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside built from old shipping containers. A dozen containers have been converted into apartments, each with about 290 square feet of living space. Every home includes a private bathroom, kitchen and in-suite laundry, as well as huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The project was built through a partnership between Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, Atira Women’s Resource
Society, BC Hydro and several other community partners. The aim was to provide safe, affordable housing for women in the Downtown Eastside. “We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this development,” says Atira Women’s Resource Society CEO Janice Abbott. “Atira has the vision and the tenacity to see this project through a precedent-setting development process, despite criticism and opposition. ... The building and individual suites look better than we ever could have imagined.”
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Construction began on Nov. 30, 2012, and every home was completed by July of this year. Six of the homes will be social housing for older women, while the remaining six will be rented at Housing Income Limits rental rates. The residents of the social housing homes will be women with roots in the Downtown Eastside who will be mentoring younger women living next door at the Imouto Housing for Young Women through Atira’s Intergenerational Mentorship Program. Residents will be able to take possession on Sept. 1. “This shipping container housing development serves to show us that with creative thinking we can work to ensure that everyone has access to safe and secure housing,” says Miriam Sobrino, chair of Atira’s board of directors. The project was inspired by BC Hydro’s “House of the Future”, which was also made from recycled shipping containers and was placed on the front lawn of BC Hydro’s office during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. BC Hydro donated the house after the end of the Games. Two other containers were donated, and the remaining eight were purchased through the Port of Vancouver. For more information, visit www.atira.bc.ca.

The townhomes at Polygon’s Lakeside include executive-level features such as stainless-steel appliances, a kitchen island, laminate flooring and engineered stone countertops, above. Buyers will be able to take advantage of some amazing amenities, including living right on Sunstone Lake, below right.
Executivestyle living at Lakeside By Kerry Vital
Polygon’s Sunstone master-planned community in North Delta is the perfect family-friendly neighbourhood, with amenities, plenty of outdoor space and gorgeous homes. Now the community is adding elegance with Lakeside, threebedroom townhomes right in the heart of Sunstone.
“Nothing has been built like this in years,” says Lakeside sales manager Theresa Liljedahl. “These are true executive-level townhomes.” Lakeside brings something special to Sunstone with its master-on-main floorplan, the Seaside Series. “There’s been a high demand for homes with the master on the main floor,” Liljedahl says. “People have been waiting years for this. It’s all-on-one-level living.” The upper floor includes two more bedrooms and a flex room, giving buyers options for how they want to use their space. The second floorplan at Lakeside, the Hampton Series, features all three bedrooms on the upper level. Most homes are over 2,000 square feet, giving you tons of space to entertain or relax. Curb appeal is not in short supply at Lakeside. The homes are built using classic
Seaside architecture, with pitched roofs, stone and wood detailing and window boxes. Street-fronting homes include picket fencing and stone post entry gates to complement the architecture. Buyers will be able to enjoy time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. You’ll also love your private fenced yard. The kitchen in your new home is a prime example of the high-quality finishings you’ll find at Lakeside. With engineered stone countertops, a marble backsplash, customdesigned, naturally stained quarter oak flat panel or white painted Shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, your kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef. It’s also the perfect place to entertain with its kitchen island. Select homes include a large walk-in pantry for extra storage. Laminate flooring is featured throughout
the main living areas. Radiant in-floor heating will keep you warm and comfortable no matter what the weather is doing. “It’s a wonderful way of heating a home,” says Liljedahl. Nine-foot ceilings on the main level add to the sense of spaciousness in the home, with some homes featuring vaulted ceilings in the living room. Your new living room also holds an electric fireplace with custom surround. The master ensuite bathroom is made for pampering, with its oversized soaker tub, separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents and marble countertops. It also features his-and-hers sinks, a large vanity mirror and porcelain tile flooring. Every home has a main floor powder room for maximum convenience, with its own porcelain tile flooring and elegant pedestal sink or vanity with undermount sink. Sunstone is home to some pretty amazing amenities. The 12,000-square-foot Sunstone Club includes an outdoor pool, gym, fireside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, outdoor stage and several trails for walking or cycling. A shopping village is in the works for the future, and an urban community garden is moments away. When you venture off the property, you’ll find schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby. Homes start in the low $600,000s. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-585-7107 or visit the presentation centre at 10500 Delsom Avenue, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.

Hardy crocuses can even bloom indoors IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter If you need a splash ofThe fall colourTriCiTies in your gardens, this crocus is a good choice
I
write about colchicumsprivate bulbs almost every summer because they are so easy to grow, are important for fall colour and because August is the only time of year to plant these giant crocus that bloom in September. Fall blooming colchicums go by the name of autumn crocus, although they are not really a crocus at all. In fact, they belong to the lily family and are native to the Mediterranean region. Colchicum bulbs become huge and can, over time, produce 19 to 25 flowers, one right after the other, until they all open in a profusion of colour. A lady who used to grow thousands in her backyard in Vancouver, told me it takes about two years for a small bulb to grow into a huge specimen, at which point it splits into four smaller ones. Small bulbs will produce five to seven flowers; mid-sized bulbs will have about a dozen blooms. I have learned the hard way that these bulbs love a sunny, well-drained, yet moist location, with average soil. One year we planted them in several shady spots, only to have them gradually deteriorate to the point of no return.You can leave them in the ground to naturalize, if that is the effect you wish to have.

Ryan goes the distance By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Lucy Ryan just doesn’t know her limits. And she will likely be heading down a very long road before she finds them. The Coquitlam longdistance triathlete just returned from Penticton, where she placed third in the women’s division of Ultraman Canada. “I didn’t even have this race on my schedule this year. I was focused on the World Championship in November,” said Ryan. “I was actually supposed to crew this race for my friend Ann Barnes but she had to pull out due to injury. So I said, ‘What the heck, I’ll give it a go. I have three weeks to get ready.’” The Ultraman series sees competitors start off with a 10-kilometre swim followed by a 144.8-km bike ride. And that’s only the first day. The second day entails a 275.4-km cycle before wrapping up on the third day with a double-marathon of 84.3 km. Ryan led the runners out on the final day but was forced to pull up about 24 km in. “I was going for the female run record on day three so I started out way too fast,” said the 45-year-old.“I think I was

Lucy Ryan of Coquitlam competes in the cycle portion of the recent Ultraman Canada event in Penticton, where she placed third among women. a bit dehydrated and I ran myself, literally, into the ground. I was lying down by the side of the road at 24 k with my legs up in the air.” After about 15 minutes Ryan was able to get back to her feet and slowly begin the final 60 km of her run, alternating between a walk and a run. “From there I had a really strong second half-marathon so I ran it right out of my system.” She finished the event in a total time of 31
hours, 27 minutes and 23 seconds. The thirdplace showing is the best finish to date for Ryan, who has completed two Ultramans, 10 Ironmans and a number of longdistance runs including “the world’s toughest foot race” — the 135mile AdventureCORPS B a d w a t e r Ultramarathon, which is run through Death Valley, Calif. in July. Ryan started competing in long-distance triathlons in 2006
when she entered the Ironman Canada race in Penticton. “I discovered I have a gift for endurance events and I just keep using my gift. I just have not found my limits yet, I just don’t know where it’s going to end,” she said. Ryan’s path now leads to Whistler where she competes in the Ironman Canada race on Aug. 25. Ryan said the Ironman — with a 3.8-km swim, 180-km cycle and 42-km marathon — is easier
than the three-day Ultraman. “You’ve got 12 hours each day to complete the event [at Ultraman] and you’ve only got a certain amount of time to recover before you’re back at it again. The night time flies and before you know it you’re on your bike the next day.” Ryan said running is her strongest suit, while the bicycle is the stage that gives her the most trouble. “I’m finally a decent ascender but I have to work on my descending skills because I’m such a chicken,” she says with a laugh. Ryan will wrap up her year with a trip to Kona, Hawaii for the Ultraman World Championships Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. “I did crew last year so I know what I’m getting myself into,” she said. “If you can get through day one then you’re good, then the rest of it apparently, compared to Canada, is easier.” She said the major challenge will come about eight km into the swim when the northerly currents of the Big Island became more noticeable. “You’re already tired after swimming eight k and you have to battle for the final two k.” sports@tricitynews.com
Coquitlam’s Chanell Botsis really knows how to throw her weight around. The 15-year-old won a gold and silver medal at last weekend’s 2013 Legion Canadian youth track and field championships at Langley’s McLeod Park. Botsis broke her own national record in the hammer throw to win gold in the U-16 girls category with a toss of 55.21 metres. She also picked up a silver medal in the U-16 discus with her throw of 36.40 m. “I was happy with both my performances but I was hoping for something further in the hammer throw. In the discus throw I achieved a personal best of 36.40 but in the hammer throw I was three metres short of what I wanted to throw,” said the 2012 entrant into Coquitlam’s Junior Girl Sports Hall of Fame. Botsis has been throwing the discus and javelin for the past four years — with a back injury forcing her to give up the javelin this season — and only picked up the hammer two-anda-half years ago. “The first day I joined track and field I walked on the track and saw other people throwing. I was so interested and excited to try it. I didn’t know what the hammer or the javelin was until I was able to see other athletes practising,” she said. Botsis began her track and field career with the Coquitlam Cheetahs before moving on to the Richmond Kajaks to get specialized training with her throwing events. “I loved and had a passion for throwing and I needed a throws coach that could teach me the different technical parts of these three throwing disciplines,” she said. “I really want to thank my coach, Richard Collier, because without his dedication and expertise to his athletes I would not be where I am.” Botsis now has her
Chanell Botsis sights set on the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China next summer. “I will focus on training with hammer as I feel it is my strongest event and I am currently ranked No. 1 in Canada and have a good chance to qualify to make the standard and the team,” she said. She hopes to represent Canada at many international competitions in the future and eventually land a scholarship to a U.S. university. Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s Brittni Wolczyk also struck gold at the Legion Nationals in the U-18 women javelin with a throw of 48.71 m. Coquitlam’s Jasmine Lew brought home a pair of silver medals despite competing against girls two years older than her. The 13-year-old was part of the secondplace 4x100 m relay team and also won silver in the 1600 m medley. Lew also posted a 10th place finish in the U-16 100 m and finished 11th in the U-16 200 m. “I was so nervous and afraid of coming last,” said Lew, who competes with the South Fraser Track and Field Club. “The experience was good and now I know I can place against the older girls.” Anastasia Evans with the Coquitlam Cheetahs earned bronze in the U-18 women’s high jump, clearing 1.60 m. Isaac Evans cleared 1.70 m to snare sixth spot in the U-16 boys h i g h j u m p, wh i l e Adeyemi Taylor-Lewis finished sixth in the U-18 men’s 200 m in a time of 22.51 seconds. sports@tricitynews.com

Vigna tops Hogan Cup field Coquitlam’s Kevin Vigna put on an impressive show on the weekend at Portland’s Riverside Golf and Country Club to earn medalist honours and put Team BC atop the leaderboard at the 45th Hogan Cup Team Matches. “The first round was kind of sloppy, I made a bad double and other than that kind of scraped it around,” Vigna said. “Today I just came out, made a couple of birdies and tried to post a low number. I played solid all day other than hitting it into the water on eight.” Vigna finished at 3 under par (74-67—141) on his second trip to the Hogan Cup, having been on the 2011 Team BC. “Obviously, seeing the course an extra couple of times helps you, I found it easier the second time around,” Vigna said. “It was a little bit shorter, I’ve gained a little bit of distance from two years ago.” Vigna’s final round got off to a slow start with pars on the first four holes before he made eagle on the 517yard par-5 5th hole on his way to a 35 on the front. However, he got hot on the back, making birdies on holes 10, 11, 12 and 15 with no bogies on his way to a 4-under-par 32 on the final nine. In the team competition, Team BC won for the first time since 2009 led by the strong play of Vigna and consistent two-day performances by teammates Jooho Lee of Coquitlam, and Diego San Pedro and Chris Crisologo of Richmond. Team BC finished at 3 over par with a total score of 435, improving upon their day one

Former Reds lift Bulldogs to title Some Coquitlam Reds alumni helped the Burnaby Collegiate Bulldogs repeat as B.C. junior men’s baseball champions. The Bulldogs outlasted the Kelowna Jays Junior squad 5-4 in the championship game earlier this month in Kelowna. Burnaby went 3-1 in the round robin to advance to the cham-
pionship game. The Junior Bulldogs are college ball players selected from the Douglas College Royals and the UBC T-Birds to represent Team BC. Former Coquitlam Reds shortstop Tyler Yorko, second baseman Taylor Lawrence and first baseman Mitchell Jackman all played significant
roles in the provincial championship win. The Bulldogs we r e c o a c h e d by Shawn Shaefer, another former Red. All four are members of the Douglas College Royals. The Collegiate Bulldogs will now go on to represent B.C. at the national championships in Dartmouth, N.S.

Coquitlam’s Kevin Vigna helped lead Team BC to the Eddie Hogan Cup at Portland’s Riverside Golf and Country Club. score of an 8-over-par 224 with a 5-under-par 211 on the final round. “They were firing at all the pins and making some puts so that was pretty exciting,” said team captain Todd Spring. ”It was a great experience at the Hogan Cup — it’s nice to bring the trophy back home to Canada.” The Hogan Cup 36hole team matches — held annually at Riverside Golf and Country Club in Portland, Ore. — pit the best junior golfers from the western United States and Canada against each other in a team format with the three lowest scores each day determining the team total.
Kim wins open
A par on the second playoff hole on Monday sent SooBin Kim to victory at the Safeway Amateur Open and earned her a spot along-
side some of the world’s best golfers later this month. Kim, who graduated from Coquitlam’s Gleneagle Secondary, wa s c o m p e t i n g i n Portland, Ore. and her victory qualified her for the Safeway Classic Aug. 29 to Sept. 1 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club. The event is also in Portland and will feature members of the LPGA. K i m , wh o e n t e r s her junior season with the University of
Washington golf team, shot a final round 3-under 68 to force a playoff with Taylor Babcock. “I’m really happy I came here to Portland all the way from Vancouver and played so well,” she said. “I birdied 16 and 17 which helped me finish strong. I was sinking lots of putts today.” Last season, Kim was selected a first-team allPac 12 and she is currently ranked 14th in the Golfweek college rankings.
