2 MPs, new boundaries for Tri-City Port Moody, PoCo kept intact with latest changes By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tri-City voters will send two MPs to Ottawa in the next federal election — not three, as previously proposed by an independent panel tasked to redraw the electoral maps. This week, the B.C. Fe d e ra l E l e c t o ra l Boundaries Commission tabled its final report in the House of Commons, calling for two new ridings set to become official this fall. The two new ridings will, in general, split the city of Coquitlam in half:

Small kid, big talent

• north of Highway 7A (Barnet/Lougheed) plus the city of Port Coquitlam will make up the riding of CoquitlamPort Coquitlam; • south of Highway 7A plus the city of Port Moody and the villages of Anmore and Belcarra will be in Port MoodyCoquitlam. Minus the north-side Port Moody and villages components, CoquitlamPort Coquitlam will be essentially the same as the current riding of Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam, represented by Conservative MP James Moore. But NDP MP Fin Donnelly will see a big change. see NO 3-WAY SPLIT, page 8

Civic election reform for ’14 Province to hold back spending limits until 2017 By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

PNE PHOTO

Seven-year-old Tyson Venegas of Port Moody won first prize and $5,000 in the PNE Star Showdown, making him the youngest person ever to win the annual talent competition. Port Moody’s Ben Fremantle, a ballet dancer, took second place. For more on the local talents, see page 3.

A ban on anonymous contributions in municipal elections is among the reforms the provincial government is pledging to have in place the next time voters go to the polls to elect city councils and school boards in November 2014. Details on the changes

are to be spelled out in a white paper next month. B u t C o m m u n i t y, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said additional changes will also require disclosure and registration of thirdparty advertisers in local government elections. Sponsorship information will also be mandatory on all election advertising, and campaign finance disclosures will have to be filed within 90 days, instead of 120 days. see CHANGES, page 6

PNE TALENT SHOWCASE: Locals perform in provincial competition

From ‘Twinkle’ to top for Tyson 7-year-old from Moody youngest PNE showdown winner ever By Janis Warren ThE Tri-CiTy NEws

Small kid, big talent. A seven-year-old Port Moody boy’s performance shone brightest this week at the PNE Star Showdown. Tyson Venegas took the top prize, making the singer the youngest contestant ever to win the toughest talent competition in B.C., an event that has launched a number of artists’ careers. “It’s amazing,” said a stunned Tyson after he was named the best out of nine finalists, a list that included another Port Moody competitor, dancer Ben Freemantle, who placed second, as well as a band, a dancing duo, a saxophonist and four other singers. The Aspenwood elementary student said he’ll be tucking away his $5,000 win into his savings account. Tyson, who performed the classic hit “Route 66” before hundreds of spectators that included his own large cheering section, previously won the BC Junior Talent Contest at the Cloverdale Rodeo earlier this year. The PNE finals were full of surprises. Before the judges revealed the results, Tyson got a boost when he was asked by the MC about his idols. “Michael Bublé and Michael Jackson,” he responded. Then, from out of the crowd, appeared international singer superstar Bublé — a PNE Showdown title-holder himself — to give Tyson a handshake and best wishes. Tyson’s mother, Iris Samson, said she was overjoyed with how the day turned out for her eldest child. Samson, a School District 43 elementary teacher, said she knew she had a special boy on her hands when, at the age of two,

But there are numerous other nominees from all over the country. Just three locations will be selected as the 2013 Great Places grand winners — one in each of the public spaces, streets and neighbourhoods categories — based on both popularity and planning excellence as judged by a panel of experts. In addition, there will be three People’s Choice Awards based solely on the number of votes. If you want to enter your favourite street, neighbourhood or public space in the competition, go to www.greatplacesincanada.ca to submit your nomination before the Sept. 2 closing date.Voting will stay open until Sept. 23 and winners will be announced on World Town Planning Day, Nov. 8.

Tyson Venegas, 7, of Port Moody (right) won top spot in the PNE Star Showdown final competition on Wednesday afternoon. He even got a handshake and best wishes from one of his idols, international recording superstar — and former PNE talent show winner — Michael Bublé, who stopped to take a photo with Tyson’s grandmother (above). Port Moody’s Ben Freemantle, a trainee with the San Francisco School of Ballet (top left), took second prize. Another Tri-City competitor at the showdown this week was singer Corbin Vander Zalm (top right). The PNE runs through Labour Day. she sang him nursery songs like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and he would repeat jazzy renditions of the tunes. Another special performer was Freemantle, a San Francisco School of Ballet trainee, who earned $2,000 for claiming second place in the

competition. The 18-yearold dancer performed a self-choreographed piece to The Cinematic Orchestra’s “To Build A Home.” “I am very grateful,” he told The Tri-City News later.“It shows that dance isn’t dead and that’s very rewarding to know.”

Freemantle said he plans to use his winnings to pay for his apartment in California. (To view a sample of Freemantle’s dance, go to http://youtu.be/ FCXXMVe6D54). Third place in the finals was awarded to saxophonist Jongsung Kim,

32, of Surrey, who played “Above All;” he received a cheque for $1,000. Also on stage at the event — which was sponsored by Black Press, The Tri-City News’ parent company — was 11-year-old Port Moody resident and Lindbjerg Academy

of the Performing Arts student Julia MacLean who sang “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” a song made famous by Barbra Streisand. Besides Bublé, legendary Vancouver big band leader Dal Richards was also in the audience, as was Port Moody Mayor

Mike Clay. “It’s amazing to see so much talent coming out of the city of Port Moody, earning its reputation as the City of the Arts,” said Clay, who posed for photos with the hometown competitors after the event. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Moody overpass gets upgrade

www.tricitynews.com

‘Flow changes’ are planned to begin in October By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City commuters who travel through Port Moody can expect some temporary changes starting in October. Seismic upgrade work started this week on the Moody Street overpass, which will see a number of temporary changes in the area. The aim of the $1.5-million project is to strengthen the bridge columns and improve the span’s structural integrity. As well, the sidewalk will be widened to accommodate both walkers and cyclists, and a barrier will be erected between the sidewalk and road. The work will cause closure of the existing stairs to the Rocky Point Park parking lot; the off-ramp that travels past Pajo’s will be closed to cars and used for pedestrians only while the project is ongoing. A schedule of work is still being crafted but “flow changes” are expected beginning in October, according to a city spokesperson, who

Seismic upgrade work started this week on the Moody Street overpass. The $1.5-million project is aimed at strengthening the bridge columns and improving the span’s structural integrity. It will also include an expanded sidewalk to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. said no traffic stoppages are planned. Walking traffic will be fully maintained. More information about work on the overpass, which carries 2,000 cars a day, will be available on the city website closer to the date. The city says “significant redevelopment” on the northeast embank-

ment facing Rocky Point is also going to be undertaken. New stairs will make it easier for pedestrians to get to the park and the parking lot. As well, the PoMo Rotary Bike Trials Park, located under the overpass between Murray Street and the CP Rail tracks, will be unavailable throughout con-

struction. All the park elements have already been removed and will be reinstated when the project concludes but the city wants public feedback on whether the trials park should be repositioned. The seismic project is anticipated to run until the end of the year. jroessle@tricitynews.com

POCO TRAIL WORK

Sections of the Traboulay PoCo Trail will be repaved between Aug. 26 and Sept. 13 due to tree roots that have heaved the path. The portions to be worked on are between the Red Bridge and Gates Park, Marpole and Elgin avenues, and Lougheed and Prairie Avenue. The trail won’t be closed but users should be cautious. Signs will be placed along the trail. For more information, visit portcoquitlam.ca/trail.

Bypass is connected

Traffic was moving freely westbound on the Mary Hill bypass Thursday morning as drivers negotiated a new overpass onto Highway 1. No longer do westbound drivers out of Port Coquitlam have to negotiate traffic lights and drag-strip-race style intermittent lights onto the freeway. The brand new overpass has taken months to build and is part of the time-saving improvements being introduced in the Cape Horn interchange in Coquitlam. Drivers should note the old on-ramp to Highway 1 westbound from United Boulevard southbound is now closed. Drivers wishing to access Highway 1 westbound from United Boulevard should use the Coleman Avenue onramp or the Brunette interchange via Lougheed Highway. Westbound drivers on the bypass wishing to connect to United can do so by using the Mary Hill Bypass exit ramp to access the intersection to the right of the new Mary Hill overpass. For information, visit pmh1project.com.

Kwikwetlem/Colony concerns By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Kwikwetlem First Nation is concerned that excavation of a channel between reserve land and Colony Farm Regional Park is putting fish habitat, the dike and, possibly, two archeological sites at risk. But a Metro Vancouver parks manager says work done to clear out the ditch was not unusual and was part of annual maintenance of the regional park. I n a l e t t e r, t h e Kwikwetlem First Nation called for better protocols when work is done in the area.

“They have a process they want us to follow, now they are doing stuff without doing their own process,” Chief Ron Giesbrecht told The Tri-

logical sites. “You never know when that soil is disturbed what’s there unless you have someone knows what to look for,” Giesbrecht said. There’s also concerns that fish habitat may have been affected because the channel is connected to the Fraser River. Giesbrecht is calling on Metro Vancouver to put a protocol in place and to stick to it when doing work that might impact reserve land. Meanwhile, Jensen said she would look further into the matter. “Our whole motivation is to build and keep

City News. But Gudrun Jensen, Metro’s acting regional parks director, says the work was done in accordance with an environmental plan under the stewardship of a consultant. “He notified everybody. As far as we know, the work was done as per the environment plan,”Jensen said. Giesbrecht said the band was told about brush clearing but didn’t expect the excavation with a backhoe. He’s worried there were no archeological professionals on hand when the excavation was done near two known archeo-

a good relations with the Kwikwetlem First Nation,” she said. “We want to be respectful and know how we can address their concerns as much as possible.” As many as 30 archeological sites have been identified on the Kwikwetlem reserve and last year an arrow head linked to the Kwikwetlem was reportedly found near a BC Hydro project near Minnekhada Regional Park. According to the band, archeological evidence links the Kwikwetlem to the area since the last ice age, 9,000 years ago.

Changes taking too long, says critic Robinson continued from front page

Limits on campaign spending for candidates, organizations and thirdparty advertisers are also coming but they will be held back for implementation for the 2017 elections in order to allow more time for consultation. The province is also expected to push municipal campaigns up one month, to run in the third week of October starting in 2017. Oakes said the changes will improve transparency and accountability, calling them the most significant modernization of local election legislation in nearly two decades. The changes will apply to elections for municipalities, regional districts, park boards, the Islands

Trust and boards of education. Union of BC Municipalities president Mary Sjostrom said she’s pleased with the commitment and said the government’s phased approach should ensure the changes work well for the full range of B.C. communities. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson, a former Coquitlam city councillor, was critical of the delay to impose a campaign spending cap and said she’s not sure why the province needs more time and a white paper to act. “What have they been doing?” she asked, adding six different ministers have had a combined six years to deliver reforms sought by UBCM.

No 3-way split like previous plan He represents New Westminster-Coquitlam but the new Port MoodyCoquitlam will be without a part of the Royal City, a key NDP stronghold. “It is unfortunate the commission did not take more of the public’s concerns into account when making their decision,” Donnelly told The Tri-City News yesterday, adding, “As a member of Parliament for New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody, I was active in advocating to ensure our communities’ best interests and views were raised at every stage of the process.” Last October, the three-person commission stopped in Coquitlam to listen to presentations from delegations about the planned redrawing to accommodate current populations as well as future growth. At that time, many of the speakers — associated with the NDP federally and provincially — told the panel they would prefer a redistribution of the New WestminsterCoquitlam riding to hug the Fraser River; that is, a south New WestMaillardville-south PoCo alignment. They argued having one MP represent New West and south Coquitlam, especially on transportation matters such as the United Boulevard bailey bridge, rapid transit and North Road congestion, would serve constituents well. They also argued the southern areas are historically linked by CP Rail. Ye s t e r d a y, P o r t Coquitlam Coun. Glenn Pollock, who spoke before the commission last October, said he’s pleased the panel kept his city intact. In earlier documents, the commission had proposed dividing PoCo into three ridings. “Our concern was that Port

Setting it straight Re. “$515k for TriCities candidates” Port MoodyCoquitlam Liberal MLA Linda Reimer did not have a shortfall in her provincial election campaign, as reported on Wednesday. Her disclosure papers indicate she took in $89,150 and spent $94,008; but Reimer states the $4,858 difference is“the value of donated goods and services.”Reimer also states she returned a surplus of about $700 to the riding following the May vote.

Coquitlam could have been represented by a Liberal, a Conservative and an NDP MP — then we wouldn’t have gotten anything done,” Pollock said. In an email response yesterday, MP Moore said, “We’re adding six

new seats for B.C. For the first time in Canada’s history, B.C. will have the same number of citizens per MP as Quebec and Ontario. The riding boundaries serve the TriCities well. Port Moody is whole, Port Coquitlam is whole, and they used the

natural boundaries of the Pitt and Fraser Rivers.” The commission’s realignment is in response to the region’s massive population boom over the past five years. To see the full report, visit federal-redistribution.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Prov. should review more roadside driving bans: NDP The NDP’s justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for reviewing roadside driving bans imposed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling.

“It clearly opens up the possibility of many other people asking for judicial reviews.” Government lawyers are still reviewing the implications of the overturned decision. But Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-yearold legislation underpinning the Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. “Fundamentally, the legislation remains very sound,” she said. Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohibitions are issued each month and just

2% on average are successfully challenged. Alcohol-related fatalities have plunged 51% since the expanded system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago — replacing criminal prosecutions of many impaired drivers – and the government estimates 143 lives have been saved. Anton said the regulations continue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and then driving. “People understand the immediate serious consequences that flow from that.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

port setting out guidelines for use of alcohol screening devices was inadmissible. Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more roadside prohibitions to be appealed. Krog said the government must be scrupulously fair in how it handles challenges of the penalties, because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the roadside by police, not a judge. “In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is something we all share, it doesn’t mean you get to disregard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process,”he said.

■ WHAT WE THINK:

etting stuck in traffic is no longer necessary thanks to new technology. But some fear the use of cellphone signals to show congestion on Lower Mainland roads could be a privacy concern. TransLink, Transport Canada and B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation recently collaborated on the development of an online map that tracks cellphone signals to calculate and display congestion levels in real time. The real time driving map is now available on TransLink’s website and shows in red traffic moving slowly, mostly around the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge, and traffic flowing freely everywhere else. TransLink says personal data is stripped from the signals but privacy experts worry hackers could still get in and cause trouble. Does the convenience outweigh the risks?

Free-range kids vs. bubble-wrap parents AS I SEE IT Adrian MacNair

here is a new movement afoot in the parenting world that is out of character with the current generation. It’s called free-range kids, or slow parenting, which means taking a more hands-off approach to raising our children and letting them develop in their own way and on their own time. It’s radical in many ways, since the overprotected, over-coddled youth of today have never known life outside of the watchful eyes of their parents. Surely you’ve seen this scene before: a group of parents hovering around their children at the playground, offering advice on how to play in a friendly, respectful and politically correct manner, apologizing to everybody within earshot when their two-year-old doesn’t

quite grasp the concept of possession. It reminds me of the dog park. Children are escorted to and from a designated play area under adult supervision and then returned home for feeding and entertainment. It’s a vastly different generation than mine, though I think we were certainly on the cusp of the emerging bubble-wrap parenting movement. I remember playing outside with neighbourhood children without much, if any, adult supervision. We came when we were called by our mothers for lunch or supper but, other than that, we were outside all the time. We bronzed in the summer and turned white in the winter, playing on nearby ice rinks that didn’t require parental supervision either. When I was growing up, I can recall walking to school every day. From Grade 3 or earlier, I would stroll along with dozens of other children who would help the smaller ones. There were no parents. There were no dropoffs, or if there were, they were few and far

between. There was no need for 200 cars to drop off 200 children at every school every day. We were young and our legs were made for walking. I can recall one time on my way to school I urgently needed to commune with nature and knocked on a stranger’s door. I wasn’t abducted by the occupant. A kind old lady showed me to the restroom. We seemingly live in fear that our children can’t go through life without our constant supervision. But the kids are all right and our fears are unfounded. Or, to paraphrase FDR, we have only fear to fear. Allowing our children more freedom may even help with many of the associated problems of the bubble-wrap generation, including obesity, social isolation and living in mom’s basement to the age of 30.

FACE TO FACE: Who should fill B.C.’s vacant seat in the Senate?

Jim can keep senators in line T

here’s a Senate vacancy available in British Columbia. It’s the seat that Brian Mulroney appointee Gerry St. Germaine occupied for almost 20 years before his forced retirement, last year, at the age of 75. In discussions I’ve had with the prime minister’s office, officials have been vague about why they’ve taken so long to fill the post. So, here’s my open letter to Stephen Harper about who he should appoint. Dear Mr. Harper, I hope all is well. I would like to suggest Jim Nelson for the position of senator for British Columbia. I know on the surface it appears to be a peculiar choice. After all, Jim is a left-leaning, union-loving, tax-the-rich-touting, orange-wearing socialist. But therein lies the beauty of the idea. The media and opposition parties constantly criticize you for appointing partisan hacks to the Red Chamber. By appointing Jim, you would disarm them of that critique and, more importantly, you would boggle their minds. Wouldn’t that be fun? And Jim’s a good guy. He’s honest

and plays by the rules. I know that a senator doesn’t need either of those skills, but I’m just saying. Sure, it might be bad optics to appoint a senator now given the ongoing RCMP investigations into the false expense claims of senators Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin. But Jim can actually help keep your naughty senators in line. Jim was a school principal. In fact, he was vice-principal when I attended Mary Hill junior secondary in Port Coquitlam. As the school’s disciplinarian, all the students feared him.You could give him that role in the Senate — no need for party whips, pesky auditors or even the Mounties. (He can still travel first class, right?) Jim is now retired so he’s used to the leisurely lifestyle. In 2012, the Senate sat for just 88 days. I think Jim could handle the workload, especially since you’re going to prorogue Parliament until October. Finally, I would appreciate it if you could do this as a personal favour to me. Jim’s a tough debater and, every week, I have to counter his strong arguments for our column in The Tri-City News. If he were a senator, maybe I’d finally get a solo byline.

he ongoing foofaraw over the Canadian Senate ignores something important. While we slag senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin over dubious expenses, the fact that B.C. is down a senator has been lost amid the whining. That’s right: Gerry St. Germaine retired almost a year ago and has not yet been replaced. Surely this puts the usual smooth and effective operation of Canada’s upper house in danger of grinding to a halt. We need a new senator from B.C. and I have just the person. Let me introduce Mr. Andy Radia, the next senator from B.C. That’s right, my neo-con nemesis next door has a resume that meets all senatorial criteria. First, Andy has steadfastly trumpeted the prime minister’s political agenda. On these pages weekly and as aYahoo (with a capital“Y”) blogger, his dependable partisanship is the most important criteria for the $135,000 to $211,000 per year senatorial payola. (This amount is, of course, before any expenses, legitimate or bogus.) And Andy has internet savvy, a blogger’s profile and relatives in the prairies whom he could stop to visit

Seniors Resource Fair

(which I know he would). Andy is conversant with local and national political issues, is a student of international affairs and, as a visible minority, his appointment could be nimbly spun by the prime minister as evidence of Conservative inclusiveness. I admit there are a few holes in Andy’s Senate resume. He is honest and hardworking, and has accomplished something. He isn’t a Conservative bagman, a failed Conservative candidate, an ex-skier or a Socred hack — oh wait a minute, he is that last one... Of course, Andy’s biggest deficiency is that, as a senator, he would actually live, drive and vote in the province he represents. But despite these deficiencies, I think Andy would be a good senator. Although I disagree with everything he says politically, at least I know he would just take the triple-digit political payoff without feeling it necessary to invent intricate expense scams to rob Canadians even more. And, as senators, go, that’s good enough for me. Andy Radia for senator!

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

The Editor, Re. “Learn to swim” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Aug. 9). Signing up our children for a few sets of swimming lessons at the local pool may not be enough when our kids hit open waters. As a mother of two, I signed both my kids up for swimming lessons when they were in elementary school. They took some at City Centre Aquatic Complex (CCAC) but most of their lessons were at Eagle Ridge Pool. For several summers in a row, I watched them grow and blossom in swimming skill. I felt confident that they would be OK in the water. My daughter didn’t show too much interest in swimming beyond her elementary years. My son occasionally went with a friend or two to the CCAC to swim. Even though he only went every now and then, I never worried about his safety in the water. But swimming in a pool is a completely different scenario than swimming in open water. In a pool, there is a defined boundary from end to end. There are lane markers and fellow swimmers within arm’s length. In addition, the local pool usually has several lifeguards on duty supervising. There is, practically speaking, very little chance of anyone losing a life in a community pool. Open waters, however, are another matter. There is no defined boundary. There are no lifeguards on duty at local beaches. And there are other factors to keep in mind. The temperature is not regulated. There are currents to contend with. Without the lane markers, it is easy to become disoriented. The colder water lends itself to more muscle cramping. Panic could set in. You might gulp some water down your lungs and drown. Any myriad of reasons could be your demise in open waters. On July 21, 2013, I lost my son, Michael, at Sasamat Lake. He was the 23-year-old man who was airlifted out of White Pine

Beach. He had just graduated from Simon Fraser University with distinction in June 2013. He was a very intelligent, highly engaged student who had a huge heart for social justice issues. He was not one for taking huge risks. I’m sure he never thought swimming out to a raft with a friend would end in death, but it did. Many people dove in to try to save my son. I am very touched by society’s willingness to forget self and seek to save another. I am also thankful that at least one person on the beach happened to have lifeguard certification that day. He managed to perform CPR on my son and was able to get a pulse back and a breath. If there had been any chance of him surviving, it was because people cared and at least one was certified in CPR. Since his death, I have emailed the Lifesaving Society of BC and Yukon to discuss whether regular swimming lessons adequately prepare young people for swimming at local beaches. The response has been that there are, indeed, differences between swimming in a pool and swimming in a lake such as Sasamat. Lifesaving BC has a program called Swim to Survive. For a local pool, the usual swimming lessons might suffice but, for open waters, Swim to Survive may be necessary. According to the C a n a d i a n D row n i n g Report 2013, young men between the ages of 18 and 35 years are most at risk for drowning; this is because this age group is known for its risk-taking behaviour. I’m here to say that your son or daughter does not even need to be a risk-taker for this to happen. It doesn’t have to be at an obscure part of the lake where no one is around. It can happen in full view, like it did with my son at Sasamat. A few swimming lessons at the local pool might suffice for a leisure centre but in open waters, I recommend you swim to survive.

Defendants dispute claims By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy News

All the defendants in a civil suit launched against members of Port Moody Police Department and a local pub employee have filed responses in relation to an incident July 7. In a notice of civil claim, plaintiff Herbert Ramos alleges he was assaulted by officer Ian Morrison and that the city of Port Moody is liable for its employee’s actions. C o n s t . L u ke va n Winkel, Chief Const. Chris Rattenbury and Golden Spike Pub managing partner Cheryl Semenuik are also named in the lawsuit for allegedly defaming Ramos

and his girlfriend, Tracey Ferris, by issuing what the suit claims are false reports to the media. Semenuik said in the response to the claim that the facts alleged are incorrect. The court documents, filed Aug. 16, deny that “five or six of the pub employees accosted the plaintiff,” and that it was “no more than two to three employees who were involved with the lawful removal of Ferris and Ramos from the pub.” The documents further claim that “the defendants specifically deny that any statements made by Semenuik about the pub events were false and or defamatory.”

Port Moody police’s response to the civil suit was filed Aug. 14 and also denies a number of elements claimed in the initial documents. The court document states that on July 7, PMPD received a report of a male and female involved with an altercation with staff at the Golden Spike. Morrison was first on scene and claims that witnesses advised him that Ramos and Ferris allegedly “had pushed and assaulted staff members and threatened staff members with assault.” The response document alleges Morrison told Ramos he was under arrest for being drunk in

a public place and causing a disturbance, and further, that he pulled away from the police officer. When the plaintiff turned back towards the defendant, the documents allege Ramos raised his arm and “Morrison believed Ramos was positioning himself to physically engage Morrison. As a result, Morrison engaged in a throw technique to put Ramos onto the ground on his back where he was then handcuffed.” A video of the arrest that was posted to YouTube has been seen more than 18,000 times. None of the allegations or responses have been proven in court.

Port Coquitlam air cadets Stefan Dirlau and Leo Jung of the 777 squadron took awards at last weekâ€™s final graduation parade the the Albert Head Cadet Training Centre in Victoria. Dirlau was named top cadet in the basic survival course while Jung was picked as most improved cadet in the basic fitness and sports course. Another Port Coquitlam air cadet, Alexander Edward Stad, earned a most improved cadet accolade at an earlier graduation parade.

REGATTA

A cadet with RCSCC Grilse in Port Moody represented B.C. this week at the 2013 National Sea Cadet Regatta. The sailing event on Lake Ontario, near the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont., saw Ct. Quinn Lessing, 18, compete in Boat 23 with partner Ct. Ian Curran. Two years ago, Lessing, a Pinetree secondary graduate, placed third with Riis Ingalis of RCSCC Kamloops at the helm; the previous year, he took first place with cadet Gleb Moiseyenko. The top 50 sea cadet sailors from across Canada compete in the national regatta. The Royal Canadian Sea Cadet program is offered to youth between the ages of 12 and 18 and is delivered in partnership between the Navy League of Canada and the Department of National Defence.

Review must recognize value of regional parks L

grow to keep pace with the Lower Mainland’s ever-expanding human population.

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.

In addition to offering beautiful natural areas, regional parks such as Coquitlam’s Minnekhada, with its heritage lodge, offer an attractive venue for events such as the recent Art in the Park Festival.

A-LIST H

ike many people who enjoy outdoor recreation, I am a big fan of parks — most especially our regional park system, which provides a delightful variety of parks and offers readily-accessible opportunities to get out and experience nature. Metro Vancouver currently manages 22 regional parks, five greenways, two ecological conservancies and four regional reserves, which together consist of more than 14,500 hectares of protected land in the Lower Mainland. The ecological conservancies include Delta’s Burns Bog and Codd Wetland in Pitt Meadows. The regional reserves, i.e., mostly parks-in-waiting, include areas such as Widgeon Reserve in northeast Coquitlam and Blaney Bog in Pitt Meadows. Local regional parks include Belcarra, Colony Farm and Minnekhada. Getting outside and experiencing nature is not only good exercise; studies also show it is beneficial for our mental health. Whether you seek an interesting beach-side stroll in Belcarra, a hike over the boulder-laden trails of Minnekhada or a pleasant and pastoral walk along the level dikes of Colony Farm, our regional parks offer a variety of ecosystems to explore and enjoy. In addition, park interpreters and volunteers offer nature tours and a number of programs for a small fee or, sometimes, for free. Programs offered in August included bat-watching, star-gazing, canoe-paddling, geocaching, nature walks and learning to fish. What’s not to enjoy? Unknown to most people, the Metro Vancouver board is currently examining the role and function of its park system. Last February, the board, which is comprised of municipal mayors plus a few councillors, instructed Metro staff“to examine the long-term regional parks function, the relevance of the regional parks function in the future and how the growth of this function will be managed.”It is expected that the Regional Parks Service Review Plan will be ready this fall for the board’s perusal. Anticipated changes to the Regional Parks Plan could be forthcoming. I am worried this review of our park system is happening in the

maintain soil fertility and wild habitat provides nesting space for pollinators of agricultural crops such as bumble bees or naturalized honeybees. A study undertaken in 2010 estimated the value of the ecosystem services provided by natural areas in the Lower Mainland — many of which are regional parks — to be a whopping $5.4 billion per year. I hope the review of the park system undertaken by the Metro Vancouver staff and board will recognize these tremendous benefits and recommend that our regional park system continues to

absence of any public consultation. After all, these parks were created to be used by members of the public. In this regard, they are highly successful ventures with more than 10 million visits per year. The cost of these parks to taxpayers is minimal: an estimated $12 per person per year — the cost of a single movie ticket. In addition to offering an interesting variety of outdoor experiences for all ages, our regional parks also provide critical habitat for a number of species at risk. More than a hundred species at risk and many more not at risk rely on the habitat found within regional parks. In fact, were it not for regional parks, it would be an almost impossible challenge to provide the low-elevation habitats that a number of our local species at risk require, including the Oregon spotted frog and short-eared owl. Years ago, when I served on a committee to recommend future uses of Colony Farm (prior to it becoming a park), another committee member lamented that, if only the birds could be convinced to fly away to the mountain tops, there would be more space for people to build houses. But nature doesn’t work like that. Species have evolved to live in different habitats and, typically, the areas where people like to live are often the most productive and hospitable for a number of other species. Regional parks offer other benefits as well. Rather belatedly, we now recognize nature provides a number of benefits to people known as ecosystem services. If, for example, we were to experience another devastating Fraser River flood such as those that occurred in 1894 and 1948 (with a near miss in 2007), Colony Farm Regional Park would provide space, first on the Port Coquitlam side, on its floodplain for rising waters. This would help to prevent flooding in residential areas. There are a number of other benefits provided by nature; these include the regulation of our hydrological cycle, the provision of clean air and carbon storage. Wetlands help to improve water quality but, in the Lower Mainland, we have lost most of our wetlands to development, industrial or agricultural uses. Trees remain the best mechanism to provide carbon storage, which helps to lessen the impact of climate change. Trees also improve air quality and stabilize the salmon streams that ultimately provide us with a source of food. Natural processes

Bosa Development’s Pacific Point includes gourmet kitchens with stainless-steel appliances and an undermount sink, above, as well as open layouts and huge windows that let the natural light pour in, top and bottom right.

Fine Yaletown living at Bosa’s Pacific Point By Kerry Vital

In the Lower Mainland’s busy real estate market, luxury and sophistication is tops on the lists of many buyers. Bosa Development ticks both of those boxes with Pacific Point, its condominium project in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood. “Response has been overwhelming for Pacific Point,” says Bosa Sales and Marketing

Manager Lisa Murrell. “There simply isn’t anything like it in Vancouver.” Pacific Point was originally a rental building, but was purchased by Nat Bosa and converted into condos. Every suite has been completely redone, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing. The building holds 214 homes, ranging from 450 to 1,680 square feet. Buyers will find amazing views of False Creek, George Wainborn Park, David Lam Park, English Bay and downtown Vancouver from every suite, along with high-end kitchens, elegant living areas and gorgeous bathrooms. The kitchens feature a quartz-slab backsplash, polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by undercabinet task lighting, an undermount sink and imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers,

which also appears in the bathrooms. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout most of the main living areas, with large porcelain tiles in the dens and chic carpeting in the bedrooms. The modern bathrooms have their own porcelain tiles and polished quartz countertops, as well as a fantastic soaker tub and an enclosed glass shower in select ensuites. In-suite laundry facilities come standard in every home, as well as custom roller blinds and solid wood entry doors that will easily block out the rest of the world. Homeowners have the choice of two interior colour schemes, Latte and Grey, designed by Cristina Oberti Interior Design. Bosa has long been known for amazing homes and its customer service focus, and this certainly continues with Pacific Point.

Nat Bosa himself is a real estate legend in the Lower Mainland. “Buyers know they are going to get quality and Nat Bosa’s value assurance backing the project,” Murrell says. The Yaletown neighbourhood is known as one of the most vibrant in the city, and Pacific Point is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer. Restaurants and shopping are right on your doorstep, as well as transit, entertainment, leisure and recreation. If you’re in the mood for some outdoor activity, you’re just moments away from the SeaWall. At Pacific Point itself, you’ll find a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness studio and yoga area, and a residents lounge with a pool table, as well as a grand double-height lobby and concierge. Homes at Pacific Point are move-in ready and start at $344,900.

IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

he long beautiful summer has been great for enjoying our patios and gardens but it has taken its toll on some of our annuals and perennials. To keep our gardens looking fresh and vibrant, it’s hard to beat the fantastic perennial rudbeckias, like ‘Goldstrum’, ‘Early Bird Gold’ and their many new cousins. One of the best new compact versions is the amazing R. ‘Little Goldstar’ that slips in easily with annuals to reinforce late summer colour. The many coreopsis varieties, like ‘Zagreb’ and C. grandiflora, have a ‘no quit’ habit and when joined by the new red flowering varieties, like C. ‘Big Bang Mercury Rising’, it fills out the colour range. The perennial geranium ‘Rozanne’, with its non-stop blue flowers, gives a ‘no quit’ performance as well and just flows colour until frost, no matter what the weather brings. If these varieties are not in your garden, now’s a great time to pop them in. The forgotten heroes of fall colour, however, are the delightful Japanese anemones. Growing from 2-4 ft. (.6-1.2m), they can be used almost anywhere in the landscape in sun or shade and can be enjoyed as individual plants or used in mass plantings as a ground cover. Anemones will be signifi-

cantly taller in the shade as they stretch for a bit of light but will still provide powerful colour. Their hardiness is rated to at least zone 5 or lower and honestly flower from late July well into October and even November. They come in shades of pink and white and in both double and single flower forms. Singles tolerate the fall rains far better but both are very resilient. This year for the very first time, there are more compact varieties of anemones, enabling them to fit nicely into foreground plantings and containers. From Blooms Perennials in England, there are three wonderful new varieties that grow only 16 in. (40cm) tall and about 20 in. (50cm) wide. A ‘Pretty Lady Emily’ has 2½-3 in. clear pink blooms with a bright yellow centre. It’s very full and busy. A ‘Pretty Lady Susan’ has 2 in. deep pink single flowers with a nice yellow centre. It too is full and busy. A ‘Pretty Lady Diana’ is one of the most attractive with 2 in. single pink flowers with contrasting darker petals for a slight bi-colour effect and again with yellow centres. Other breeders are developing more compact Japanese anemones and you’ll see quite a selection next year. For now, the ‘Lady’ series is a very welcome addition to our late summer and fall gardens. They love moisture, especially in dry locations, so water well to keep that colour going into late October.

Crowded camp contends for Express roster By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Barry Wolff stands in the timekeeper’s box at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex arena. His watchful gaze takes in each shot and every save, shifting his focus between the passes, body checks and clearing attempts that are taking place around the ice. And for the 200 or so players who take their turns hitting the ice for the scrimmages going on throughout the day, their hockey future depends on what he sees. Wolff is the new coach of the Coquitlam Express who must now whittle down the crowd of prospects who showed up for the first day of camp on Monday to a roster of 22 players. “The first game was at 7 a.m. so we weren’t sure how they would come out but the guys c a m e o u t wo r k i n g hard and competing so we’re real happy with the camp so far,” said Wolff, who coached the Fernie Ghostriders in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League last year. He hopes to have the roster pared down to 30-some players when the Express open their regular season Saturday night in Langley. And while that may seem like a pretty drastic reduction in numbers, Wolff knows the type of player he’s looking for.

“Strong character, hard working, we don’t want to get outworked,” said Wolff, who puts a premium on big, strong players who can thrive on the smaller ice surface in Coquitlam. “We want to take away time and space and create opportunities for us, not sit back and hope for them, we’re going to make it happen.” Wolff inherits a team that struggled last year, finishing with a 24-31-1 record, and one that dealt away much of its offensive production at the trade deadline. That leaves plenty of holes to be filled. “We told all the guys c o m i n g b a c k , ‘ Yo u need to earn your spot.’ Nobody’s being given anything right now. After the year we had last year we just need to be better.” And that take-nothing-for-granted approach translated into some high-tempo scrimmages at this week’s camp. “We need guys to play both sides of the puck and if they don’t they won’t be here,” Wolff might not be picking out a spot for the Fred Page Cup in the Express trophy case just yet but he is expecting improvement in the product on the ice. “Our goal is to make the playoffs and make some solid headway in that regard,” he said. “We want to establish a win-

Players battle for position and a roster spot as the Coquitlam Express opened camp this week at the Poirier sports complex. ning culture. Once we get that foundation built, guys need to expect to win and not just say let’s see how it goes. We need to expect every game to win.” This weekend’s home-and-home series with the Rivermen ( Satu rday n ig h t in Langley, Sunday at noon at Poirier) will feature a young lineup. There’s some college (scouts) coming. They’ve asked to watch some guys, so there’ll be some veteran guys in the lineup but other than that it will be young

guys that we want to give the experience to,” said Wolff. The regular season gets underway Sept. 6 with the three-day Bauer BCHL Showcase at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre. The Express will take on the Merritt Centennials Sept. 6 before facing off with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Sept. 8.

an 8-1 win over the Grandview Steelers on Wednesday night at the Port Moody Arena. Wednesday’s contest began a stretch that will see the Panthers play five exhibition games in five days. “With so many games in such a short period of time, it gives myself and the coaching staff a good handle on what our team identity will look like for the beginning of the season,” said Panthers GM and head coach Jamie Jackson. Ja c k s o n wa s i m pressed with the focus

and enthusiasm shown during the team’s camp which wrapped up on the weekend. Port Moody signed two of the standouts from main camp, 1996born forward Taylor Leger and 1997-born defenceman Evan Locke. “Finding the right group can be a difficult process full of difficult decisions and there were certainly a number of those on Sunday night after the intra-squad game,” said Jackson. “Despite Taylor and Evan both signing with our team, we

still have a long way to go, as now 15 players are off to Junior A and Major Junior training camps. We certainly wish each of them the best of luck with their tryouts.” Port Moody will host North Vancouver at 3 p.m. Saturday and face off against Aldergrove at 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the Port Moody Arena. The Panthers open t h e Pa c i f i c Ju n i o r Hockey League regular season at home on Sept. 14 against the Mission City Outlaws. sports@tricitynews.com

The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Adanacs were 20 minutes away from the Minto Cup final. But those 20 minutes became an eternity for the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League champions Tuesday night. The Adanacs fell 11-7 to the host New Westminster Salmonbellies, who now go on to face the Whitby Warriors in the best-of-five series to earn the right to hoist the Minto Cup. “We were in control,” said Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge of his team taking a 7-6 lead into the third period of Tuesday’s semifinal at Queen’s Park Arena. “I think Frankie (Scigliano, the Salmonbellies goaltender) stepped up. He shut us out in the third. We still had a lot of chances, we were still going to the net hard the last three or four minutes but we just ran into a hot goalie in the third period.” He thought his team did a good job of keeping New Westminster shooters to the outside but they were able to capitalize on second possessions. Cole Shafer scored twice and added a pair of helpers for Coquitlam, while Reid Reinholdt had a pair of goals and an assist. Steven Neufeld, Tyler Pace and Vinny Ricci each netted a goal and an assist. Davide DiRuscio made nine saves in the A’s net before giving way to Pete Dubenski, who turned aside 27 of the 33 shots he faced. Doddridge singled out the efforts of the players who have been with the Adanacs for the past three Minto Cup runs. “The Reid Reinholdts and the Vinny Riccis and the [Tyler] Garrisons, it’s sleepless nights for them for sure,” he said. “You feel bad for them because they’re such good kids and for the most part they’ve grown up in that arena and wanted to raise a Minto Cup at home in front of friends and family. It’s disheartening.” Doddridge holds out little hope for the Salmonbellies in the final, predicting Whitby will win in two-and-a-half games with a chuckle. He says changes have to be made to the import rules — calling for a return to the limit of five imports from the current two — in order for the west to consistently compete with the stronger Ontario squads. The BCJLL coach of the year expects the Adanacs will challenge for a sixth consecutive Minto Cup berth next year, anticipating all but five players will return to the lineup. He said the big challenge will be in net, with both DiRuscio and Dubenski moving on. sports@thricitynews.com
