Mayors eye November referendum on car levy

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The province’s reluctance to allow comprehensive tolling may spur Metro Vancouver mayors to instead pursue a referendum just on a vehicle levy.

The mayors met Transportation Minister Todd Stone last Friday and emerged without any deal but predicted a flurry of further talks in the weeks ahead to negotiate new funding sources for TransLink expansion. see FUNDING OPTIONS, page A4

Port Coquitlam residents responding to a city survey overwhelmingly support a property tax increase if the money will be used to help fund construction of a new recreation centre.

The city’s 2014-’18 financial plan initially called for a 0.34% property tax decrease but council sought information from the public to see if there is a willingness among property owners to allow a small increase for the future replacement of the rec centre.

Some 670 people participated in the budget survey, with 76% of respondents saying they would be willing to pay 1% to 1.5% more on this year’s tax bill for the future replacement of the PoCo rec complex.

With the support from the public, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said council and staff can now start looking at what the rec centre project will entail. see SURVEY DREW, page A12

Time to speak on Riverview Input sessions to start next week

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Should the Riverview Hospital lands be opened up for a new university campus focusing on health sciences?

What about dedicating it as a filming site?

Or do you see some or all of the 244 acres used for market housing?

The possibilities are endless and, next week, the provincial agency in charge of the future of the 102-year-old Coquitlam property wants to hear from you

about how the former mental health institution can redevelop.

BC Housing — along with representatives from Shared Services BC (which is responsible for the grounds) as well as city of Coquitlam staff and other consultants — will be on hand to guide the public through the

first of four visioning exercises for Riverview, looking at its history, natural assets, heritage buildings and current overall state.

The first open house is a drop-in, meaning residents and stakeholders can view information boards, ask questions and offer suggestions

about how Riverview could be upgraded for a city land-use plan. The session will be held: • Thursday, Feb. 27, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Burquest Jewish community centre, 2860 Dewdney Trunk Rd., Coquitlam; see MORE LOCAL, page A14

Trees to come down

diane strandberg/the tri-city news

More trees and brush will have to be removed to make way for the Evergreen Line but will be replaced, according to the company building the $1.4-billion project.

Starting next week, crews will remove trees on the east side of Pinetree Way between Glen Drive and Guildford Way. The work will take about two weeks, with crews cutting brush and trees between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. To accommodate the work, there will be temporary parking restrictions on PInetree Way next to the work zone and, possibly, temporary daytime lane closures on Pinetree northbound.

According to EGRT Construction, trees along the Evergreen Line route have been included in an environmental inventory and a project team will work with municipalities to replace them. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Signs that the Evergreen Line is coming to town — in summer 2016, at least — are everywhere in Coquitlam and Port Moody, but especially in Coquitlam Town Centre and (above) Burquitlam, where construction work is taking place on the SkyTrain line and new residential and commercial properties.

Evergreen spurs Coq. construction Articles by Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam may have seen a drop in housing starts last year but you wouldn’t know it by all the cranes towering over the city skyline.

A city report released this week showed there was a drop in both housing starts and housing under construction in 2013 as well as a slight decline in building permit values for the year.

But community planning manager Carl Johannsen said while construction may have taken a bit of a breather for a few months last year, overall residential construction is booming in the city, especially in the Town Centre and Burquitlam areas — both of which will be touched by the Evergreen Line.

“Were not sure in terms of 2014 but we are off to a strong start,” Johannsen said, point-

ing to the launch this week of Bosa Properties’ Uptown development.

Bosa is ready to roll out two towers with 451 homes at 581 Clarke Rd., just steps away from the Evergreen Line, now prominently under construction in the neighbourhood.

“The inventory of new condos is low,” said Daryl Simpson, senior vice-president of Bosa Properties, forecasting strong pre-sales for the project, which will start construction this summer, with completion set for 2016 when the new SkyTrain line opens for commuters.

“We feel pretty good.

We’re in a good position,” he said.

Johannsen said Bosa’s confidence is in keeping with overall trends in the city, which has seen record-setting construction over the last three years; and despite this year’s slight drop, construction is still significantly

higher than before the recession of 2008.

Besides Burquitlam, where Evergreen is spurring development, Coquitlam is seeing strong interest in the Town Centre, where four major highrise projects are under construction, including MThree by Cressey, Evergreen by Bosa, Intergulf’s Grand Central 3 and 1123 Westwood St. by Onni.

“In the longer term, prospects are good.

Coquitlam over the past year or so has been the fastest growing municipality in the Lower Mainland,” Johannsen said, adding that with the coming of the Evergreen Line and buildings coming on stream in anticipation of rapid transit, the city is no longer a suburban bedroom community.

“It’s become a dynamic regional centre.”

Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain area saw 1,063 development and build-

ing applications valued at $122.9 million last year, with 535 new residential units created.

One permit was issued for Meridian Corner, a professional and retail building now under construction at the corner of David Avenue and Coast Meridian Road.

We s b i l d ’ s d i r e c tor of marketing, Jenn Derbyshire, said the project will be anchored by a TD Bank and a Shoppers Drug Mart, with office space for a medical clinic or physicians.

“We have had a lot of residents tell us they would love to have a doctor close to home or a walk-in clinic,” Derbyshire said.

She expects 2014 to be a “planning year” for Wesbild, which has property in the Partington C r e e k n e i g h b o u rhood plan as well as The Foothills at Burke Mountain.

Trades working on Burke Mt. were targeted Businesses in Coquitlam are weathering a sluggish economy by taking out businesses licences and expanding their operations, according to economic indicators revealed in the city’s latest trimester report.

The city registered 331 new businesses last year, many of them construction trades working on housing projects in the Burke Mountain

area. As well, 57 intermunicipal business licences were issued as part of an initiative to cut red tape.

For Andrea McDonald, Coquitlam’s manager of bylaw licensing and animal services, efforts to get trades licensed plus new businesses starting resulted in more business licences being registered in 2013 than in 2012 — 6,263 compared to 5,932.

Coquitlam also made slightly more revenue from films being shot here — $55,600 in 2013 compared to $53,300 in

2012 — but is still down sharply from 2011, when the city collected $123,800 from 66 productions.

Two large commercial projects also boosted the city’s building permit revenue, with construction of the Lougheed Acura Car Dealership in the city’s southwest, and the Meridian Corner professional building in the northeast. As well, BFI Canada Inc., a waste management company, added a new eight-bay maintenance garage at its facility on Fawcett Road. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Funding options the key issue: mayors continued from front page

Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said Metro Vancouver mayors still hope to persuade the government to back tools such as road pricing, a regional sales tax or a share of the province’s carbon tax.

But if a vehicle levy is all the province will allow, he said, there’s no sense in delaying a referendum until mid-2015, as Stone has offered.

“If, ultimately, it comes down to going to referendum on a vehicle levy, we could virtually have it this fall,” Walton said.

He said a single source that generates relatively little money would force the mayors’ council to use the new revenue strictly to put more buses on the road and shelve efforts to build new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver.

“It depends on how many funding sources the province allows,” he said. “If it’s fairly minimal, the only thing you can do is go for your first priority, which is buses.”

TRANS. MIN. TODD STONE

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

If the province will allow only vehicle levies as a funding option for TransLink, the mayors’ council chair says a referendum could be held this fall — but for funding more buses only.

An annual fee on each registered vehicle in Metro would be simple and easy to apply, unlike a complex road pricing system, which would take years of study.

Stone wants mayors to hammer out a transit expansion priority list

and the tax tools to fund it by the end of June. The minister said he does not rule out road pricing as a tool if the mayors want to discuss it.

But Stone said it’s the province’s current position that any future tolls generated by provincial

bridges and highways — such as the North Shore bridges, the Alex Fraser and the Massey Tunnel — should be reserved for their maintenance and replacement, and not be diverted to TransLink.

“If the mayors want to have a conversation

with me about a regional road pricing policy, I’m prepared to have that discussion with them,” Stone said.“I’ve also made clear that up to this point, our position is that we’re going to be pretty protective as a province of the revenues generated from provincial assets.”

Revenue from Port Mann Bridge tolls is needed to pay off that project’s debt, he noted.

Stone emphasized any new taxes or tolls proposed for TransLink must be affordable, have minimal impact on the regional economy and draw strictly from Metro Vancouver, not the rest of the province.

Walton said it would be “virtually impossible” to develop a workable road pricing system in the region if provincial bridges and highways are excluded, leaving only the TransLinkcontrolled ones — the Golden Ears, Knight Street and Pattullo bridges.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she believes a road pricing system can be designed that shares the revenue and meets the goals of both the province and TransLink.

She said the province’s proposals to the mayors aren’t perfect but leave room for negotiation.

“I’m going to take this as an opportunity to really move forward,”Watts said. “We’ve been stuck in this hamster wheel for far too long.”

Walton said he is cautiously optimistic that Stone’s promised governance reforms to TransLink will return enough power to elected mayors for them to sign on to Victoria’s referendum strategy.

Stone prom-

ised amendments to TransLink legislation will be introduced in the legislature this session.

The minister also addressed a sore point for the mayors, backtracking from past comments that they’re divided on what should be built.

“The mayors have demonstrated over the years that they actually can come to agreement on priorities in the region,” Stone said, citing their decisions to proceed with the Canada Line and to raise the gas tax to build the Evergreen Line.

“I have all the confidence in the world that there is the will there — not necessarily from every mayor, but from the vast majority of the mayors — to move forward with this.”

The mayors also were assured that Surrey’s proposed light rail network would qualify for the province’s promise to fund a third of major new rapid transit lines as well as the Pattullo Bridge replacement. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Coquitlam Express VS

Heritage Afloat In

Port Coquitlam For every nautical mile of river that flows around our community there are hundreds of stories. Since people first arrived in this area, our rivers have connected us, nourished us, challenged us and entertained us.

For some however, the rivers are much more than that. The rivers are a way of life. To those that have worked the rivers for decades, the Fraser, the Pitt and the Coquitlam Rivers are the blood that flows through their veins.

This year, as British Columbia pays tribute to its rivers and oceans during Heritage Week and beyond, PoCo Heritage pays tribute to three of Port Coquitlam’s iconic mariners; Ken Mackenzie, Eve Forrest and Captain Bill Benneck.

We also invite you to discover some lesser known aspects of Port Coquitlam’s river history. Find out how local tugboat captains helped keep Essondale Hospital powered during the early days. Find out how Douglas Island got its name and the various roles it has played over the years. Kids will enjoy acting as tugboat captain on our hand built tugboat mock-up.

Everyone can view our great collections of marine items displayed throughout Leigh Square and City Hall.

Please come visit Heritage at Leigh Square, located in The Outlet building, part of the Leigh Square Community Arts Village.

A playing field at Evergreen Park — located at Cedar and Lombardy drives on the northside of Port Coquitlam — was damaged by a driver late Friday or early Saturday.

Driver chews up field at $1,500 cost to PoCo City started work to repair park on the weekend

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Maintenance workers in Port Coquitlam will be doing repair work at Evergreen Park on the northside after someone drove onto the field and tore up the grass.

An area resident said the damage was likely carried out on the evening Feb. 14 or in the early morning hours of Feb. 15.

A city worker was onsite over the weekend, raking out the ruts left behind by the tire treads and top-dressing them with sand.

“We will then assess the deeper sections and, as needed, fill them in with sod/turf to provide a level playing surface,”

PAYING TOO MUCH TAX?

Todd Gross, PoCo’s parks and facility services manager, said in an email. “This will then be continually monitored as part of our usual field maintenance process.”

He added that repairing the damage will cost the city approximately $1,500 in staff time and

materials.

The city is asking anyone who saw any suspicious activity at the park, which is located at Cedar and Lombardy drives, to call Vandal Watch’s tip line at 604-927-7600 or the RCMP at 604-9451550.

Identity theft is fast-growing type of fraud and a major concern for many.

But you can get advice on how to protect yourself at a free information session next week at Port Moody Public Library.

O n Fe b . 2 7 , Const. Luke van Winkel, Port Moody Police Department’s community relations officer, will offer tips and answer questions.

Participants will learn some simple steps and important precautions to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft. Among the issues to be covered will be shredding of personal and financial documents; storage of passports; and passwords for banking and online use.

Th e p ro g ra m starts at 7 p.m. next Thursday. Space is limited so early registration is recommended by calling 604-469-4577.

Election regs could change Looser sign rules possible in Coq. Stories by Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam is looking to loosen its rules for election campaigns in an effort to increase voter turnout.

This week, the city’s council-in-committee talked about ways to make it easier for municipal candidates to get noticed and to get more people to vote.

The next general elections for city and village councils as well as school board will be held on Nov. 15.

In Coquitlam, voter turnout is generally below the B.C. average for civic votes: In 2011, the tally was 21.7% versus 29.5% for the rest of the province — and byelection turnouts have been much worse than that.

In a bid to improve those numbers, Coquitlam staff on Monday recommended council revise its 2008 elections policy by allowing, among other things: • municipal candidates and volunteers to post election signs 14 days before the vote, instead of the 10 days; • candidates to set up campaign headquarters

and to have larger signs at and outside their buildings; • city staff to install large signs at key locations to remind the public about the upcoming election; • and increase hours for advance voting.

Coun. Terry O’Neill, who’s in his first term, said he would also like the city to permit a rack or kiosk at public facilities — such as city hall, library branches or recreation centres — where candidates can stock their campaign brochures.

Coun. Neal Nicholson suggested candidates take an oath to be respectful to one another during the campaign.

Coun. Chris Wilson, who won his council seat in last November’s byelection, said he was frustrated during the campaign by candidates bending the rules on sign placement on private and public property.

While most candidates operate within the guidelines, Coun. Brent Asmundson said,“we will always have problems with people cheating the election laws.”

M e a n w h i l e , Po r t Coquitlam is also considering a revamp of its election sign policy before this fall’s civic election.

Big bucks for water While Coquitlam appears to be the only Lower Mainland municipality on track to make a provincial deadline for urban watershed updates, its latest plan also comes with a hefty price tag.

This week, the city’s council-in-committee saw the cost to implement the Como Creek Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) soar from $650,000 to $4 million for drainage improvements, stream erosion control and rehabilitation works.

City managers told council the initial number was a rough estimate from several years ago and, as a result of the higher figure, drainage development cost charges may have to rise slightly to pay for the new watershed works.

With the draft plan for Como Creek now out for public feedback, Coquitlam is on its way to wrapping up all 10 IWMPs this year, as mandated under Metro Vancouver’s 2010 Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan, which calls for plans for urban areas to be renewed every dozen years.

Totalling 8.7 sq. km., the Como Creek watershed has its headwater at Como Lake and includes four main tributaries leading into the Fraser River: Popeye, Booth, Macdonald and Mill creeks.

Its“health”is rated as poor due to polluted run-off and private property encroachments. But Como Creek IWMP project co-ordinator Melody Burton said redevelopment — as cited in the draft Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan and the adopted Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan — “gives us a chance to make improvements”over the next 20 years.

Among the draft plan’s six recommendations, which have yet to be approved by council, are stabilizing active erosion zones, upgrading drains and implementing diversion pipes, restoring riparian vegetation and addressing localized flooding on private property.

Two years ago, city council okayed an $8.2-million plan for Nelson Creek, a watershed also located in south Coquitlam. City staff are currently working on the Mundy watershed. jwarren@tricitynews.com

etro Vancouverites love a deal. That’s why they line up like lemmings to cross the border for savings in the U.S. or drive far out of their way to cross an untolled bridge — never mind the waste of gas and lack of value they place on their time.

So the key to selling higher taxes to finance more transit expansion and bridge replacements will be appealing to their wallets with some direct, personal benefit beyond paternalistic assurances that they must sacrifice for the livability of the region.

Some mayors have suggested reducing the existing 17-centa-litre TransLink gas tax if a vehicle levy or comprehensive road-and-bridge tolling is imposed. That makes sense as it would give drivers less reason to fill up outside Metro.

Another proposal we’ve made before is creating a homeowner grant for the TransLink property tax, which now averages $235 per home. The tax rate could then be increased somewhat without any impact on the typical homeowner while non-residents and other investor owners would absorb the increase.

Here’s another idea: Imagine a $200 per year vehicle levy is imposed. But half of that is returned to the vehicle owner in the form of a credit they can direct to either their TransLink Compass card account or their TReO tolling account.

Drivers who shun toll bridges would be encouraged to cross them at least some of the time, helping unclog traffic jams on free crossings, while those who rarely commute across tolled bridges could take the Compass credit instead and would have more incentive to use buses and SkyTrain, at least some of the time.

Either TransLink or the province would get the credits eventually, so the revenue wouldn’t vanish, and the credits could be time-limited, if necessary.

The concept could form one of a series of value propositions that may better inspire a short-term, focused, me-first public that has difficulty imagining the gridlock of the future if nothing is done.

There is no magic wand to solve Metro Vancouver’s transportation challenges — we will all have to pay more somehow.

But thinking like this will be needed if the province remains determined to give voters the final say over TransLink expansion in an eventual referendum.

Hmm, who provoked whom in B.C. school strike?

BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA made an error in a column two weeks ago about the latest court ruling in favour of the BC Teachers’ Federation.

I referred to an“illegal”strike in 2012, and was quickly reminded that this teacher walkout was sanctioned by the Labour Relations Board.

After months of withholding report cards and refusing to meet with administrators, the union went to the LRB to seek permission for a full-scale strike.

Teachers got their wish, with authorization under essential services rules for a three-day strike in the first week, and one day a week after that until the end of the school year or a settlement was reached.

For the record, the last illegal BCTF strike was in 2005, in defiance of a B.C. Supreme Court order that resulted in a $500,000 fine against the union. That was the same year

BCTF lawyers won a split B.C. Court of Appeal ruling allowing teachers to bring political propaganda into classrooms. Two out of three judges decided this was appropriate to preserve their freedom of expression.

The authorized three-day strike went ahead in March 2012. Regular readers may recall my reports of students being indoctrinated in classrooms and, in some cases, sent out as union pickets, and of the strong-arming of unionized government office staff here in Victoria to make them join a rally on the legislature lawn.

This was the strike that, according to the current media and political narrative, the provincial cabinet conspired to bring about. This notion is central to the Jan. 27 ruling of Justice Susan Griffin that orders the B.C. government to attempt to reconstruct the world of 2001.

Government lawyers filed an application with the B.C. Court of Appeal on Friday to suspend parts of this ruling. Imposing Griffin’s terms would cause“irreparable harm to the public interest of unprecedented magnitude,” they said in arguments backed up by a series

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

On the senate The Editor, Re. “Senate scrutiny” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Jan. 30).

I would like to respond to the above-referenced editorial, starting with this statement: “Certainly, most Canadians outside of Ottawa would rather see the costly house of sober second thought demolished completely.”

This is a questionable claim. It is obvious that some, even many, think this, but that’s a far cry from “most,” and far from certain. I have seen a number of polls that do seem to lend some support but they also tend to involve self-selected participation, which has no statistical validity, or are constrained or slanted to favour such an outcome.

Your editorial finishes by stating, “Paying more people to go over the same decisions that elected parliamentarians already make is a waste of time and money.”

This grossly understates the key role of the Senate as a check on the unbridled power of the House of Commons, as well as its role as a representationby-region mechanism protecting less populous

regions from the representation-by-population dominance of other regions.

The further innuendo that as an appointed body it is somehow less legitimate than the “elected parliamentarians” is also misguided, though fashionable these days.

There is a whole legitimate debate about an elected vs an appointed Senate. Electing the Senate would unquestionably change its character, though not necessarily for the better. An elected Senate would, by necessity, be far more politically active and aggressive, and probably of a similar nature as the House of Commons itself.

But electing everyone is not some panacea. It is not necessary for a vibrant and healthy democracy that every high office be elected; it’s sufficient that these cleanly derive from, and with the proper oversight of, an elected House of Commons, as Liberal leader Justin Trudeau proposes.

$1.4M sought Survey drew more responses than usual for PoCo hall The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam’s northside fire hall is no longer adequate for the area and will likely require significant and costly upgrades, according to a staff report.

Fire Chief Nick Delmonico said a rise in call volume and an expected increase in population in the coming decades mean changes will need to be made to the cramped Toronto Street fire hall.

“It is only going to get busier and we are looking for a long-term solution,” he told The Tri-City News on Monday. “This is the area that has the most capacity to increase in size and call volume.”

Fire Hall #2, near Coopers Foods, is approximately 3,500 sq. ft. but the vehicle bay takes up 2,600 sq. ft., leaving the rest for a dormitory, kitchen, office space, bathrooms, storage lockers and equipment.

The facility was initially built in 1976 to house one apparatus and two firefighters on a part-time basis. Today, four to five staffers work at the facility and the building does not address current expectations for gender diversity, Delmonico said, noting, “We have one washroom in the whole fire hall.”

Four options were presented to council last week, including the $1.4-million renovation Delmonico is recommending.

The upgrades would include the expansion of an upstairs area within the building that was not completed at the time of construction. That option, Delmonico said, would be the most cost-effective and the least intrusive for the neighbourhood.

PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said more information, including a breakdown of the costs of the renovations, will be needed before council can make a decision.

“It definitely needs some work,” he said. “The question is what level of work is required?”

Councillors toured Fire Hall #2 Monday night to get a look at some of the issues the facility is facing. A report is expected to come before council sometime next month. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Karen Grommada, PoCo’s director of finance, said the input sought on the recreation complex led to an overall increase in the amount of public feedback city staff received on this year’s financial plan. In total, close to 950 respondents filled out surveys and submitted them online or at city hall.

“Public input on the budget in prior years has typically resulted in a few hundred responses,”

Residents also said they would be willing to see further tax increases if it allowed the city to improve its parks and recreation services.

Close to 250 respondents said they would be willing to pay more for recreation facilities and services while another 117 people said youth services should also be a priority; 95 respondents said they would be open to a tax hike if the money went toward roads, intersections and infrastructure.

she said. “However, the level of public and media interest created by the rec complex question and proposed tax decrease, as well as the ad mail-out, can be credited for the added respondents.”

The survey found that overall, most PoCo residents (62%) believe they are getting good value for their tax dollars.

Another 14% said they receive excellent value while 20% said the value was adequate and 4% believe some improvements are needed.

“Now we need to understand what people want to see in a community recreation complex,” he said. “We see this as an opportunity to create a vibrant community hub where people can connect, play and use a variety of services and amenities.”

Council and the city have been discussing the possibility of replacing the existing structure with a mix of commercial and residential uses.

While it is still early in the design process, the replacement of the arenas, Wilson Centre seniors’ facility, youth centre and library are all being considered. The city hopes to add ice capacity, a fitness centre, a pool and a new multi-

purpose space to the site. “ W e are committed to engaging with the WRIGHT public throughout all phases of the project,” said Coun.

Michael Wright, chair of the community recreation complex project advisory group. “This is an exciting opportunity for the community to help shape the development of a recreation complex they will use and enjoy for many years to come.”

A website has been launched (portcoquitlam. ca/recplan) and interactive booths will be popping up at various city facilities that will give residents an opportunity

Cities apply to take part in hearings

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

The future of the Riverview Hospital grounds will be decided starting with meetings next week in Coquitlam.

More local open houses in spring continued from front page

• and Saturday, March 1, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Centennial Pavilion, Poirier community centre (620 Poirier St.).

Afterward, BC Housing will follow up with open houses in May, June, September and December — with the last session presenting a draft vision as a blueprint for a future neighbourhood plan.

In the meantime, BC Housing has set up a website at renewingriverview.com, which includes past studies

and online feedback opportunities. You can also sign up for email alerts and Twitter feeds at @ RenewRiverview.

Both Coquitlam city council and the Tri-Cities’ Chamber of Commerce have said they want to see Riverview returned as a mental health hub but they are also open to economic development on the site.

BC Housing reps have said any redevelopment and heritage building repurposing needs to “break even” for investment to happen.

A total of 2,131 individuals and organizations have signed up to participate in National Energy Board hearings later this year into Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of its Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

The deadline to apply expired last Wednesday night.

B.C. municipalities seeking either intervenor or commenter status include Coquitlam, Port Moody and Belcarra as well as Vancouver, Victoria, Burnaby, North Vancouver city and district, West Vancouver, New Westminster, Richmond, White Rock, Surrey, Langley Township, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Merritt and Kamloops.

The Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Capital and Fraser-Fort George regional districts also registered, as did the Vancouver Parks Board, Port Metro Vancouver and organizations from the Vancouver Board of Trade to various environmental groups.

The $5.4-billion expansion would nearly triple the existing 60-year-old pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day. If approved, 400 oil tankers a year would sail through Vancouver harbour, up from about 60 now. Hundreds of additional oil tankers already carry Alaskan crude oil to refineries in Washington State.

The NEB will review each application and decide which will be granted standing and whether they’ll be intervenors or just commenters, spokesperson Sarah Kiley said.

Also under review is Kinder Morgan’s project application to ensure it’s complete. jnagel@blackpress.ca

HISTORY & HERITAGE: City of Coquitlam aims to catalogue its past

Lonie collecting Coquitlam history for city’s first archive Coquitlam is well behind cities such as Vancouver

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS

C

oquitlam’s first ever archivist has done a lot of digging through the history vaults since she was hired last summer.

And soon, Emily Lonie will be uncovering a new policy framework for the city for how it should handle its collections.

Lonie, who has a masters degree in public history, spent four years at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa, where she was one of 85 archivists at the national centre. There, she was charged with transportation and policy files.

But when the job popped up in Coquitlam for its new archival program, Lonie jumped at the chance.

“It’s a dream come true,”she told The TriCity News in an interview last month.

Currently, in her 300 sq. ft. ground-floor space at city hall, Lonie is responsible for the community archives — text and images that are not 3D. Among them are documents from Don Cunnings, Coquitlam’s first parks and recreation director; clippings and photos from now defunct local newspapers The Herald, The Enterprise and The Columbian; board minutes, song books and pictures from the Como Lake Preschool, which operated from the Scouts building at Blue Mountain Park from

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Emily Lonie is Coquitlam’s first city archivist. She will be introducing a policy framework for the new city archives program to council within the next few weeks.

1953 to 2011; School District 43 records; and 1914, 1915 and 1918 police logs from Emeri Paré, the city’s first police and fire chief.

The collections were donated by various organizations and many more continue to be repatriated from the cities of Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, the latter

via the PoMo Station Museum.

In total, she has 10 m of community archives and thousands of photos.

Still, more are on the way from the city’s record management, which is overseen by the clerk’s office. Lauren Hewson, Coquitlam’s information, privacy and administrative services manager,

said city records that have an archival value will be transferred to the new archives department and part of Lonie’s job is to make sure that access provided to those records meets privacy standards.

(Active records, however, will remain with the individual city departments so that Hewson can have access to them for

Freedom of Information requests.)

Lonie said the new policy framework for archives will set out current and future mandates to acquire, preserve and make available historical records.

To do her work properly, she believes the city needs up to 2,500 sq. ft. of space. Already, Lonie

has spoken with the city’s arts and culture advisory committee; she has also formed partnerships with the Coquitlam Public Library and the Coquitlam Heritage Society; and, next month, she will talk about the new program with the Coquitlam Sunrise Rotarians as part of her outreach.

Glen to celebrate its 100th birthday Coquitlam’s Glen elementary school will celebrate its 100th birthday this year and will be holding a special event this spring.

All former Glen students, parents and staff are invited to mark the school’s centennial on Friday, May 30, from 5 to 9 p.m.

Guests can tour the new Glen school (built just a few years ago) and reconnect with old friends.

Registration costs $15 per person before April 11 and $20 after (registration form available at www. sd43.bc.ca/glen).

For more information, phone 604464-6608 or email glenreunion2014@ hotmail.com.

Glen elementary is located at 3064 Glen Dr., between Pipeline Road and Westwood Street.

Jill Cook, executive director of the Coquitlam Heritage Society, said Lonie’s appointment is a“big step forward in the business of preserving and presenting our heritage. Having a professional archivist with whom we can work and who can help us assess the donations which we receive almost daily assists us in determining the value of the donations and their appropriate destination.”

Lonie admits she has her work cut out.

“Vancouver has had its archives since 1933,” she said.“For me, I see this as a real opportunity because I get to create a program from scratch.”

February fun: Top 10 fictional boyfriends A GOOD READ Corene Maret Brown

and Prejudice. In the opinion of one Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory: “Pride and Prejudice is a flawless work of genius. He’s proud, she’s prejudiced — it just works.” The smouldering, wet-shirted Colin Firth in the six-hour BBC adaptation swan dives this historical hottie into first place.

only have eyes for his El Amarna painted pavement and she’s a prim Victorian who enjoys hitting people on the head with a parasol.

Starting with Crocodile on the Sandbank, they solve crime together in Elizabeth Peters’ delightful mystery series.

• Park from Eleanor and Park. Ah, the ’80s — a time of guyliner, landlines and mix tapes.This story of first love from Rainbow Rowell will take

you back to the school bus in this heartwarming tale of two outsiders finding each other when they need it the most.

• Any of the delightfully ridiculous dukes from Grace Burrowes’ Windham series (the first book is The Heir).Their ducal father is scheming to get his brood of handsome sons and daughters married off. Each of them absconds to the countryside to escape his machinations only to fall into

the arms of their One True Love. But will their Dark Secret destroy Perfect Happiness? (Nope!)

• Lord Maccon from the Soulless series by Gail Carriger.The course of true love never runs smooth but it is run right off the rails in this riotous tale of a spinster with no soul, a werewolf with a short temper and an incident involving a hedgehog. see RETIRED, page A19

Retired Sherlock tends to bees continued from page A18

• Eva Ibbotson writes the swooniest romantic heroes — we are talking Sound of Music levels of bliss. A standout is A Countess Below Stairs, in which a penniless Russian aristocrat works in an earl’s household only to find herself in the middle of a fairy tale.

• Mr. Henry Nobley from Shannon Hale’s Austenland. Jane Hayes is obsessed with Mr. Darcy.

Now, many have an appreciation but Jane has serious Darcymania. When her wealthy aunt gifts her a once-in-a-lifetime trip to an Austen-themed resort (replete with dashing young gentlemen in costume), will she be able to spot true affection in amongst the cads?

• Sherlock Holmes: OK, he doesn’t know that the Earth revolves around the sun. And there was that one time he fake-engaged himself

to a housemaid for“work purposes.” But he’s a lot less imperious in Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell series. Retired, Sherlock prefers to spend his time with bees instead of busting heads until a young lady with a shadowy past demands to become his protégé in The Beekeeper’s Apprentice.

• Rob from The Firebird. There are kiltsa-plenty to choose from in the delightful paranormal time-spanning

romance from Canadian Susanna Kearlsey.

Nicola can see the history of an object by touching it and when a mysterious carving falls in her hands, she knows that it belonged once to Empress Catherine of Russia. But how to prove it? She and her snuggling companion, Rob, travel through the wilds of Scotland to the spires of Russia to decipher the enigma.

Are you getting the most out of your RRSP? With the RRSP contribution deadline approaching, some tips to help guide Canadian investors’ retirement planning

Too many Canadians are leaving important retirement savings and planning strategies to the last minute as they rush to make a registered retirement savings plan contribution before the March 3 deadline, according to a press release from CIBC.

“When you combine the tax deduction for the amount you contribute with the fact that you don’t have to pay tax on the accumulated investment income, most Canadians should have RRSPs,”says Jamie Golombek, managing director of tax and estate

planning at CIBC wealth advisory services.

“But many Canadians aren’t taking full advantage of the benefits RRSPs offer.”

Golombek’s new report,“Getting the most out of your RRSP,” focuses on the importance of Canadians taking the

time to look at all of the benefits available from their RRSP throughout the entire year.

To get the maximum benefit from an RRSP, he recommends five simple tips: • Just do it — make an RRSP contribution.

• Be timely — choose

when to claim the deduction for your RRSP contribution.

• Stick with it — leave funds in an RRSP. • Cover your bases — designate beneficiaries.

• Plan for redemption — plan for RRSP conversion prior to age 71.

“As the end of

February approaches, many Canadians rush to make an RRSP contribution,”Golombek says.

“With these five simple tips, investors can take the necessary steps to invest smarter throughout the year, and get the maximum benefits from their RRSP savings.”

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

No registration is required, just drop in for an afternoon of family fun.

This program is suitable for children of all ages.

KIDS (AND PARENTS) NIGHT OUT

Marc Cheneval, Thomas Evoy, Michelle Chen and Kalicia Bateman are among the music students at Dr. Charles Best secondary who will take part in the Coquitlam school’s third annual Kids’ Music Fun Night. Proceeds from the fundraiser on March 7 will go to the music department. Teacher Brent Hughes said children aged three to eight will get a chance to try out instruments, hear from the band and choir as well as snack on pizza and treats. And parents need not worry about leaving their kids for four hours as many students have completed babysitting courses, he said. The cost is $15 per child and $25 for two kids (children must be potty trained). To sign up, email Hughes at charles.best.music@gmail.com.

It’s a go for Millie at Heritage Woods

By Janis Warren

he calls her concussion “Marvin.”

It was easier for Shanda Walters to put a name to it, given the stress her brain has been under since December, when the Heritage Woods secondary theatre teacher accidentally knocked her head on a safety bar while watching a MetFest play in the booth.

Walters has been under doctors’ orders not to stimulate “Marvin” too much every day. As a result, that has meant stopping work until the summer as well as stepping aside as director of Thoroughly Modern Millie.

A few weeks ago, students and teachers at the Port Moody high school had a heartto-heart about Walters’ “unlucky bump” and thought about cancelling the winter production they had been rehearsing since last September, said stage manager and Grade 12 student Samantha Pedersson.

But, with the help of Gleneagle secondary’s drama instructor, Ashley Freeborn, who had

directed the musical with her seniors last year, they decided their show would go on.

Freeborn said it’s been a lot of work — filling in as artistic director twice a week after school while also getting her own Coquitlam class ready for Footloose in May — but she heaped praise on the Heritage students for working as a team under the direction of alumnus Sydney Freeman and choreography by current students Danica Kobayashi, Kaila Kask and Nathan Sartore.

Freeborn also singled out Cassandra Turner, the Lindbjerg Academy of the Performing Arts student who will graduate from Heritage in June, for her strong portrayal as the lead Millie Dillmount.

In turn, all at Heritage — especially general manager Ingrid Gay and Michael Costa (Walters’ class sub) — are grateful to Freeborn for bringing Millie to the stage in time.

Besides her directing expertise, Freeborn has also loaned sets and costumes used in last year’s show at Gleneagle.

Still, the musical is nothing new for Heritage

as theatre students there mounted it five years ago. Jonathon Connelly, the Grade 11 student who portrays Jimmy — Millie’s love interest — said the class wanted to revive it as this cast suited the roles.

“It was really a perfect fit for us,” said the Scottish native. “We also wanted to put our own interpretations on them.”

Turner, who plans to pursue a theatre and English degree in September, believes Millie — a small-town girl in search of a new life in the Big Apple in 1922 — is a likeable and relatable character.“She’s so fun to play,”Turner gushed.

As for Walters, she said it feels strange to be disconnected from the production and the students “but I know the show is in good hands and I hope to be able to see it,”she said.

• Thoroughly Modern Millie — under the baton of Rebecca Norman — runs at Heritage Woods secondary (1300 David Ave., Port Moody) on Feb. 28, March 1, 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12/$10 at the school by calling 604-461-8679. jwarren@tricitynews.com

TRI-CITIES RIDGE MEADOWS BRIDAL SHOWCASE

‘Eclectic jazz’ band to open PoMo ArtsFest

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Six years ago, while at The Banff Centre, jazz pianist and percussionist Kristian Alexandrov met Jens Lindemann, the chair of brass studies at UCLA. Then, the internationally acclaimed trumpet player and former member of the Canadian Brass was working on his BrassFire show and the pair quickly struck a friendship.

Since then, “he has been taking me travelling with him across Canada and the U.S.,” said Alexandrov, a Port Moody resident, noting his partner, Shannon Gaye, a singer and percussion, has also joined them for a few dates.

L a s t Ju n e , wh i l e Alexandrov and Gaye were performing outdoors at Port Moody city hall, Valerie Simons — chairperson of the 2014 PoMo ArtsFest — hired them on the spot. And when Simons asked if they knew of anybody to bring in as a special guest, the pair instantly thought of Lindemann.

“It was kind of a natural

On Friday, the trio will launch the PoMo ArtsFest at a gala reception in the Inlet Theatre — an event that Alexandrov says will be an “eclectic, sophisticated” mix of jazz and classical compositions and arrangements. “We won’t be doing anything crazy like rock ’n roll.”

BC WINTER GAMES:

Tri-City athletes on a mission in Mission Coq. skaters will be tested at BC Winter Games, says team coach

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs

The world’s eyes may be focused on the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, but for a handful of Tri-City athletes there is one competition that is even more important.

The BC Winter Games kickoff on Thursday and a large contingent of local athletes are busy preparing for this weekend’s schedule of events.

Three athletes from the Coquitlam Skating Club will be heading to Mission, some of who will get their first taste of serious competition,

Tri-Cities female hockey well represented at the Games: page 28 said club coach Bruno Delmaestro.

“It is kind of like a mini-Olympic Games,” said Delmaestro, who coaches the club along with Kelly Champagne.

“It gives the kids a good flavour of a major event.”

Alexandra Canning is one skater that will be attending this week’s figure skating event, fresh off a recent win in the juvenile ladies championship. see AThleTeS, page 28

Express clinch playoff spot with win Coquitlam club downs visiting salmon Arm 7-1

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs

The Coquitlam Express have clinched a playoff spot and added another mark in the win column after a decisive victory over the visiting Salmon Arm SilverBacks Saturday night.

Coquitlam currently

sits in t h i r d place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division RoSEnTHAl with 57 points, chasing the second place Prince George Spruce Kings, who have 65 points.

One of the largest crowds of the season were on hand to watch the Express dismantle their Interior Division

o p p o nent, who are struggling to secure a berth in the postseason.

Boyd Ryan Rosenthal opened the scoring for the home team, when he buried a feed from Marc Biega seven and a half minutes into the opening frame.

Salmon Arm responded with a goal from league point-leader

Landon Smith, but that would be all the offence the SilverBacks could muster on Saturday.

Coquitlam’s defence silenced Smith and his fellow forwards, while the Express managed to fill their opponents net.

Bo Pieper made it 2-1 before the end of the first period, before Corey Mackin added two in the second and Rosenthal scored his second on a short-handed breakaway.

Coquitlam capitalized on several power play

opportunities in the third period. When Salmon Arm’s Alex Gillies was sent to the box for crosschecking, Express forward Cody Boyd took the opportunity to net his third goal of the season.

Another power play allowed Canon Pieper to score a goal.

The club was expected to take on the Mainland Division leaders the Langley Rivermen on Tuesday, after The TriCity News’ deadline.

For further information on the Club:

Cats miss post-season Saturday’s loss to the Aldergrove Kodiaks at a win by the Mission City Outlaws means the Port Moody Panthers have missed their chance at the Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs.

The team’s postseason fate was already sealed when Aldergrove visited the Port Moody Arena on Saturday, after Mission took two points in

a game last week.

However, the Cats did not let up against the Harold Brittain Conference leaders, at one point holding a one goal lead over the visiting club. But hopes that the Panthers could manage a plucky win were dashed in the second period when the Kodiaks scored three unanswered goals. Port Moody eventually lost the game 7-4.

Forward Madeleine Ericsson and defenceman Alaiah Faisal-Uher were chosen by the Fraser Valley squad, while Melissa Phillips will play with Fraser

River Delta during the provincial competition.

Megan Cave, another bantam rep player with the Tri-Cities Female Ice Hockey Associatoin, will also be attending this week’s Games, however she will be leaving her hockey stick at home. She is attending the BC Winter

Games as a speed skater and will be competing in the under-16 category. sports@tricitynews.com

The 14-year-old recently moved up to the pre-novice category and Delmaestro said the event will be an opportunity for her to “get her feet wet”at a new level.

A n o t h e r s k a t e r, Cayden McKenzie-Cook, will compete in the juvenile figure skating category. He recently took third place at the B.C. championships.

Kayla Sullivan is another Coquitlam figure skater that will be competing this week. The 12-year-old athlete has been having a strong season, according to Delmaestro, after winning fourth at the B.C. championship and second place at a recent juvenile event.

All eyes on the olympics

While Coquitlam Skating Club coach Bruno Delmaestro has been busy prepping his athletes for this week’s BC Winter Games, he is also keeping an eye on Olympic developments in Sochi, Russia.

He was particularly pleased to see Kevin Reynolds, a Coquitlam skater that Delmaestro once coached, take home a silver medal for Canada in the team figure skater event last week.

“In the team event, he was absolutely fabulous,”he said.“I am very proud of him.”

He added that the Olympian was a dedicated athlete, who works incredibly hard and “pushes the bar in our sport.” The 23-yearold’s accomplishments in Sochi shows that the Coquitlam Skating Club can produce international-calibre skaters, Delmaestro said.

While Reynolds took silver in the team event last week, he struggled in during his short program a few days later, where he finished in 17th place with a score of 68.76. good skater,” he said.

“She has been having a great year.”

B e n j a m i n Pa p p,

a member of the Coquitlam Skating Club, was also expected to attend this week’s Games.

But a slight fracture in his foot has sidelined the 14-year-old, who recently won a provincial championship in the prenovice men’s category.

“They are all really great kids,” Delmaestro said. “To be selected for the BC Winter Games is pretty prestigious.”

Competitors in the juvenile category are expected to perform one program, while skaters like Canning skate two programs.

The athletes will stay in dormitories and eat all their meals together, giving them an opportunity to see what competition is like without parents and coaches in toe.

“They have to stand on their own two feet,” Delmaestro said. “It is a really good experience for them.”

SABYAN Michael John Martin August 21st 1964 February 13th 2014 It is with profound sadness that we announce that Mike (Big Sexy) passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, bringing to an end his courageous battle with lung cancer. Mike was a loving Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle and a great Friend to so many. He was predeceased by his grandparents, motherin-law and his sister. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Marcy, and their two sons, Quinn and Tanner and chosen daughter Alysha. Survived by his Parents, Otto and Lorraine Sabyan, his Brother Steve, Sister Helen (Mike) and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Nieces and Nephews.

Mike was born in Vancouver and raised in the Lower Mainland. His greatest joy was his family and friends; he was always willing to lend a hand and help in any way he could.

He was a big man with an even bigger heart and one of those people you never forgot even if you only spent a few minutes with him. His life was shorter than he expected but he and his wife along with their boys lived their time together to the fullest. Throughout his life he loved playing and coaching hockey, especially his son Quinn’s team. We will miss his kind heart, the twinkle in his eye and his crooked grin. His hugs were legendary!

His family would like to thank the Doctors, Nurses and Support Staff at Surrey Memorial Hospital, Acute Tertiary Palliative Care Unit, for their compassionate care of Mike in his last few days.

Funeral service will be held at St. Luke’s R.C. Parish, Maple Ridge, February 21st at 12pm.

Following the service, we will celebrate Mike’s life at one of his favourite places, Planet Ice Maple Ridge, at 2:00pm. A memorial fund has been set up for his family at VanCity Credit Union Branch #30, Account #103473.

Five year old Tanner asked for the “ phone number to Heaven so he can talk to his Daddy! “ We miss you terribly Mike and we will never forget the Love you shared with us.
