Red flags in review of Fraser Health By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The use of emergency departments at Fraser Health hospitals has been growing more than three times faster than the region’s population. That’s one of the findings contained in the results of the provincially ordered review released Wednesday. ER use has run at 6.4%, compared to Fraser’s population growth of 1.7%, the review found, mainly due to frequent users who tend to be older, poor and lacking regular care. M o s t p at i e n t s at Abbotsford, Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals could get their care through community clinics or family doctors, it suggests. The region’s acute care hospitalization rate has been highest of all B.C. health regions since 2008.

A review of Fraser Health will result in a push for more patients to use community clinics and family doctors rather than going to a hospital emergency room.

SD43 laments cost pressures in letter By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Tri-Cities’ board of education is giving Education Minister Peter Fassbender some food for thought as he works his way through the public school teachers’ dispute. As a summer calm descends on the oncefeverish negotiations between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the government’s bargaining arm, the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), a feisty letter laying out School District 43’s funding concerns has been sent out to the minster and a who’s who of government and education officials, including local politicians and MLAs. “The public needs to know,” said Coquitlam Trustee Brian Robinson. see $16.3M IN COST PRESSURES, page A4

Boom! goes building Record pace for construction in Coquitlam, PoCo By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The building boom in the Tri-Cities does not appear to be showing any signs of slowing down, according to the latest numbers from BC Stats. Coquitlam is on pace to break 2013’s record $482 million in total value of building permits filed with the municipality and so far is

up 47.1% from the same period last year. Most of the increase is coming in residential development, which has seen a 45.5% increase over 2013’s numbers. Much of the development is being spurred by the construction of the Evergreen Line, according to Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning and development. “We are moving at a record-breaking pace,” he said. “Obviously, the Evergreen Line is stimulating a lot of that.” McIntyre cautioned

IN QUOTES

“We are moving at a record-breaking pace. Obviously, the Evergreen Line is stimulating a lot of that.” Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam planning GM that some of the numbers can be skewed by one or two massive projects, pointing to the condo developments in Burquitlam as a major driver of 2014’s early increase in building permit applications. But there is little doubt that planning staff have

been busy, with townhouse and single-family projects on Burke Mountain plus highrise condo towers in Town Centre, he added. B C S t at s f i gu r e s shows the total value of building permits filed with the city has been steadily increasing

since the 2008 economic downturn, rising from $199 million in 2009 to last year’s $482 million record. But while residential numbers in Coquitlam are booming, McIntyre said industrial and commercial are also showing signs of improvement. The total value of industrial building permits pulled so far this year is $760,000 — up from $471,000 from this point last year — and vacancy rates in the sector are down. see COMMERCIAL, page A14

Get ready to pay at Rocky Point Registered residents to be exempt from pay parking By Sarah Payne The TRi-CiTy News

Get ready to bust out your wallet when visiting Rocky Point Park — unless you’re a Port Moody resident. At Tuesday’s meeting, council approved a oneyear trial of pay parking — starting Aug. 15 — at the popular park, making it the only park in the TriCities where visitors will have to pay for parking. Non-resident park users will have to pay $1 per hour with a four-hour maximum. Port Moody residents will park for free but will have to register their vehicles — up to two licence plates per household — which will involve scanning and emailing vehicle insurance documents proving a PoMo address. The move comes about two years after council first started considering adding pay parking to Rocky Point; in late 2012, council was discussing a city-wide parking strategy for key areas as a way of handling potential parking issues around the

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtOS

Whether you go to Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park for a splash in the inlet, a walk in the park or to launch and sail a boat, you’ll pay for parking starting on Aug. 15 — unless you’re a PoMo resident who has registered a vehicle with the city. Evergreen Line. Despite numerous discussions on the matter since then, Mayor Mike Clay was still not happy with the pay parking proposal. “We have not had a single piece of positive feedback on pay parking at Rocky Point Park,” he said, noting there has been no public consultation on the proposal and the city shouldn’t be surprised when there

is a backlash from park users. A PoMo resident also spoke out against it, saying her parents often take her kids to Rocky Point but because they live in Coquitlam — just five blocks from the PoMo border — they would have to pay. Coun. Gerry Nuttall supported the move, saying the park lot is often full and “we have to make sure our residents

get the most benefit from it.” The cost of the trial program is pegged at about $36,000 for annual operating costs and nearly $7,000 in one-time set-up costs. Th e m ach in es — which will be located in Lots A, B and E (on Murray Street and in front of the Boathouse restaurant) — will be similar to the “pay by licence plate” machines

used in Coquitlam. Clay and Coun. Zoe Royer, who has opposed pay parking because of its potential effects on nearby businesses, voted against the proposal. The trial period was passed with amendments to use any surplus parking revenue for park improvements, and to add signage to the lots communicating what the money will be used for.

Monster home meet Tuesday in Moody Want to have your say on“monster home”construction in Port Moody? You’ll get a chance at a town hall meeting next Tuesday. The city is hosting a public forum where residents can learn how the size and height of single family homes is regulated through zoning bylaws. The meeting comes after a group of PoMo residents started calling for a“Good Neighbour bylaw”to regulate house size. Former city councillor Sandy Liles said the issues of blocking view corridors, dwindling green spaces and large shadows all need to be addressed. The July 15 meeting will run from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at PoMo city hall. Anyone who can’t attend the meeting is encouraged to fill out an online feedback form, available at www.portmoody.ca.

Big ships, small boats worry Belcarra council safety of recreational boaters is mayor’s concern By Diane Strandberg The TRi-CiTy News

Belcarra wants assurances that recreational boaters won’t be at risk from increased tanker traffic if the Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker facility expansion goes ahead. On Monday, village councillors unanimously endorsed a motion to request Trans Mountain to collect data on recreational boat traffic in Burrard Inlet and factor the data in its models to

The potential for a collision between an oil tanker and a recreational boat has Belcarra village council concerned. determine the risk potential for marine incidents. Mayor Ralph Drew said Belcarra is an in-

tervenor in the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and the request for more information has been sent to the

National Energy Board for consideration. If the request is approved, Kinder Morgan would be required to do the re-

search and present the finding as part of its due diligence. Drew said the safety of recreational boaters,

many of whom live in Belcarra and have boats at Reed Point Marina or in various marinas around the Port Moody inlet, has not been raised so far in the project review for Trans Mountain. “I’ve been following the process all along and the one area that nobody is speaking to is the issue of public safety for recreational boaters for Burrard Inlet,”Drew said. He speculated that with an increase in tanker traffic proposed by Kinder Morgan — from one tanker a week to one a day — the potential for a collision would be high and although a tanker wouldn’t be harmed, that’s not the

case for a small recreational vessel. “It’s the sum total of all those things it may be a problem, it may not. Until you do the research, how do you know?” He said there are several large marinas in Burrard Inlet and the impact of tanker traffic needs more study. Belcarra’s motion comes as the province has filed more than 70 requests to the National Energy Board for more information related to maritime and land-based spill response, prevention and recovery systems. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com – with files from Jeff Nagel

Strike affects SD43 assessment By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The public school teachers’ strike and a funding crunch have hampered School District 43’s efforts to identify gaps in learning to help schools set goals for the year. On Tuesday, the board of education approved the district’s year-end report detailing progress made in student achievement. The 43-page booklet is available on the SD43 website (in the July agenda package) and shows Tri-City students continue to be among the province’s top achievers. But some of the statistics for measuring literacy and numeracy come from previous years.

They are still valid because trends haven’t changed, assistant superintendent Reno Ciolfi told the board. But he acknowledged that the district didn’t collect data from teachers, considered a better measure of student achievement than Foundation Skills Assessment, because SD43 couldn’t afford the release time to allow teachers to spend time working in teams to develop an assessment tool that could be used for their students. The classroom assessment based on teacher judgement has been used for about eight years to gauge student achievement, Ciolfi said, and is

more thorough then FSAs, which have low participation rates and aren’t given to all grades. Ciolfi later told The Tri-City News the assessments likely won’t be done next year, either, because of the district’s ongoing financial issues. Another complication from the teachers’ strike was that made it impossible to gather the latest information from kindergarten teachers at the end of the year. Still, the district’s report shows that improving literacy, numeracy, school completion rates and students’ socially responsible behaviour are its top goals, with more work needing to be done to improve

boys’ literacy, numeracy problem-solving among all students, and to boost the achievement of aboriginal students. The report notes that Tri-City aboriginal students are leading the province when it comes to graduation, with 89.8% finishing high school (Grades 8 to 12) within six years — 30% more than the provincial average. Board chair Melissa Hyndes said the report, which will be forwarded to the Ministry of Education, is good news for the district. “Our results are increasingly high, if not the best in the province, even with the budget difficulties,”she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

$16.3M in cost pressures in 5 years continued from front page The letter lays out SD43’s frustration with what it deems as chronic underfunding in a system beset with demands and inflationary cost pressures. Taking the 2009/’10 year as its baseline, the district says per-student funding should be $7,492 allowing for inflation, not $6,966 — a $526 difference. “Considering our student base, it demonstrates that we have had to absorb $16.3 million in cost pressures over the past five years,” the letter states. “It is our position that these

monies be returned to our district.” While the district managed to balance its budget for the 2014/’15 school year, it did so with $13.4 million in cuts, which will hurt students who are “most vulnerable and most in need.” The letter states that 91 teaching jobs have been cut, including psychologists, speech language pathologists and others who work with special needs students. As well, 33.5 education support positions have been eliminated, including teaching assistants, youth workers and library clerks.

Four administrators’ positions have also been cut along with 55 support staff positions, including noon hour supervisors and maintenance positions, the letter further states. “We are greatly saddened that the cuts we were forced to make will limit our ability to help vulnerable students achieve their full potential as individuals and citizens,” the district says in the letter. In addition to covering inflationary costs for the last five years, the board wants inflation to be factored into future funding; labour agreements and

class sizes and composition to be fully funded; funding to be increased for programs for vulnerable students; and a review to be conducted of funding to ensure it’s equitable. Fassbender has not yet responded to the district’s second request for a faceto-face meeting and for now, the letter will have to suffice in raising board’s issues, board chair and PoMo Trustee Melissa Hyndes told The Tri-City News. “It outlines what we have lost,” she said. “It’s another piece of advocacy.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

PM nixes proposed daycare Traffic concerns in Suter Brook

By Sarah Payne

Port Moody is aiming to make it easier for parents to enrol their children in city recreation programs. A streamlined process will mean all new participants can register online, by phone or in person starting at 7 a.m. on registration day, eliminating the need to stand in line early in the morning to secure a space in the program. After registering online, parents have a week to submit forms for pre-authorized payments and proof of their child’s age to remain registered in the program. As well, parents of kids in the three-year-old program will continue to be able to register early for the same time spot as their child graduates into the four-year-old program, giving parents the consistency they were requesting, according to a staff report.

The Tri-CiTy NewS

A bid to put a large daycare in a new office building being built at Suter Brook was shot down Tuesday by Port Moody council. Onni was applying for a land use contract amendment that would have allowed the second floor of a building at 220 Brew St. to be used for a daycare for up to 170 kids. Brendan Yee, development manager for Onni, said the company was close to signing a 15year lease, with an option to extend for five years, with Kids and Company, a national corporateowned daycare operator. Traffic and parking issues, however, swayed council against approving the amendment. Several Suter Brook residents spoke up at the public hearing, mainly to rail against Onni for not adequately enforcing parking regulations (Suter Brook streets are deemed strata lanes, over which the city holds no authority) against drivers

who park the wrong way, on the sidewalks and in loading zones. Most residents said they didn’t want to see the extra traffic that would come with a large daycare operation. But a few residents said they support the proposal — as well as many more who wrote to council — noting most daycare spots would be snapped up by families living in Suter Brook and Klahanie as well as

the office workers who would be using the new building, and wouldn’t generate much new traffic. One speaker noted that attracting big-name anchor tenants to the building wouldn’t happen without amenities like a large daycare. Most council members, however, couldn’t get past the traffic complaints or the spectre of a “big-box daycare.” “Maybe there’s not an

New plan for Fraser Health targets ER overuse By Jeff Nagel Black Press

A seven-month review of Fraser Health has resulted in a new strategy that focuses on cutting unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. Health Minister Terry Lake said Wednesday too many patients in the region — which includes the Tri-Cities — aren’t getting the appropriate type of care and suffering worse outcomes than in similar Canadian hospitals. “When you provide that care in the community, you take the pressure off the acute care setting,” Lake said. “That helps look after your budget problem as well.” Average lengths of hospital stays are longer in Fraser, Lake said, increasing risks of picking up infections in hospital or problems like bed sores. The concept is far from new. Fraser has been trying for years to clear its congested ERs with a shift to preventative or home health care. Although Lake did not criticize past efforts, he said the time was right for a strategic “data-driven” reexamination of the issues for the region, whose staff had been too bogged down in“putting out fires.” The region will get a modest infusion of extra money — $40 million in

57% goes to acute care continued from front page And more than 35% of admissions exceeded the expected length of stay, limiting bed capacity. Fifty-seven per cent of Fraser’s budget goes to acute care, leaving relatively small slices for residential care (18%), community care (9%) and mental health and substance use services (7%.) Patient safety also scored poorly, according to the report. Burnaby had the second-worst rate of nursing-sensitive adverse events — such as infections, bed sores and fractures in hospital — in Canada for two straight years. “Rates at Surrey Memorial, Burnaby and Ridge Meadows hospitals have been almost double the national average and with no demonstrated improvement over the past three years.” Other findings: • A 3.6% increase in the region’s more than 8,000 residential care beds since 2010 has not kept pace with population growth. • Nearly 300 new residential beds would be needed to reach the provincial average of 80 beds per 1,000 seniors over 75. • Mental illness affects 17% of Fraser’s adult population and 14% of children and youth. • 11.5% more adults are expected to be living with mental illness by 2020, while the number in need of withdrawal management/treatment services is to climb from 160,000 to 200,000. jnagel@blackpress.ca 2014/15 and $20 million in 2015/’16 — to assist with opening up community care beds during the transition. Lake said the findings confirmed Fraser’s budget of $3.1 billion has been appropriate in recent years, in light of its population of 1.7 million, rapid growth rate and demographics. “It’s not a matter of dollars,”he said.

Funding for Fraser is slated to climb 4.3% in 2014, 1.4% in 2015 and 1.2% to more than $3.3 billion in 2016. The review was ordered by Lake last November, largely in response to the health authority’s inability to avoid successive budget overruns.The resulting strategic and operational plan sets out 10 priority actions for improvement.

Topping the list is the goal of reducing hospital readmission rates and lengths of stay to save money and reinvest savings in community and longterm care. Other top priorities are continuing work to cut hospital-acquired infections and increasing immunization rates for measles, mumps and rubella. The review also recommended cardiac and stroke programs be more efficiently coordinated across the Lower Mainland’s health authorities. Lake ruled out a full merger of the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities but said the

ministry will look further at carving off the Burnaby local health area and add it to Vancouver Coastal because of the number of Burnaby patients who go into Vancouver for treatment. “We’ve got two large hospitals we’re going to rebuild — St. Paul’s and Royal Columbian,” Lake said.“It’s imperative the two health authorities work together to ensure those rebuilds provide the service and infrastructure necessary to serve the entire population of the Lower Mainland rather than take an isolated view of the two hospitals.”

NDP health critic Judy Darcy said it’s a “laudable goal” to take pressure off acute care hospitals but said she doubts the province is committing enough money to the required alternatives. “I don’t think there’s the money there to make the enormous strategic investments to turn this ship around.” Darcy said she still hasn’t seen an adequate explanation of why Fraser’s per capita funding from the province is much lower than most other health authorities. “Fraser has 36% of the province’s population and 28% of the funding.”

A search is underway for a new president and CEO of Fraser Health to replace former top executive Dr. Nigel Murray, who resigned last month to return to New Zealand. Fraser is also without a permanent board chair. Interim chair Wynne Powell has been filling in since Lake terminated former chair David Mitchell, saying fresh eyes were needed to finalize the review. jnagel@blackpress.ca

he proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion under consideration by the National Energy Board is a big deal and many of the issues are out of the hands of local citizens. But as Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew has proven time and again, somebody needs to ask the questions and get the answers. Maybe it’s ludicrous to think a tanker oil spill will occur in the inlet with all the precautions that are being taken but what about spillage from the pipeline? Can that be prevented 100%? Experience tells us“no.” And what about recreational boaters, what guarantee is there that a tanker a day up from a tanker a week won’t have some impact on small boats in the area? If not an outright collision, there could be more rules, regulations or other barriers to boaters if more tankers are in the harbour. Maybe Kinder Morgan has all the answers and risks are minimal. But the questions have to be asked and, thankfully, Belcarra, along with intervenors Coquitlam and Port Moody, are prepared to ask the questions on our behalf.

Coquitlam/NW bailey bridge battle puts traffic on trial AS I SEE IT Chris Bryan

“N

ew Westminster has its head in the sand.”This comment is uttered often, and always in relation to traffic. It’s said by people exasperated with how New West does its darndest to curb traffic, to make travelling through our city as unpalatable as possible.These folks live outside our 15 sq. km and just want to get through our damned — their words, not mine — city. And to them, the Bailey bridge is kind of the icing on the New West Nutcake. To many, yes, it’s hard to explain. In the tiniest of nutshells, New West says the bridge has been a local access road for Braid Industrial Park businesses to get in and out. Nothing more. Coquitlam says it’s an inter-city connector, which is why it built the four-lane United Boulevard. New West says increasing traffic volume there will be a nightmare, as it’s an area with rail lines just steps away from the Braid-Brunette intersection, on which dozens of trains pass daily.

But now, the one-lane connection will be no more. An arbitrator ruled in Coquitlam’s favour and a two-lane span will be installed. And now we’ll see who’s right. Will there be more snarls, as the Royal City predicts? Or will it mean smooth sailing? Either way, Coquitlam and the cause of more cardiac-arresting traffic wins. If the area bungs up, it will renew calls for a massive United Boulevard Extension flyover-type interchange in the area. Which guarantees more traffic volume in New West — what the city’s been fighting against all along. Taking a step back, the Battle of the Bailey highlights a bigger issue: Progressive traffic planners will tell you that building more roads and bigger roads only encourages greater volumes and, in short order, the new wider roads fill up. It’s a futile cycle that we can’t seem to shake. And it’s the most wasteful thing we could do, creating more pollution, congestion and frustration. Instead, we should do something like this: Put a congestion charge on every bridge crossing the Fraser River during rush hour. As soon as possible. Even just $1 or $2. It wouldn’t generate a ton of money but it would shift discretionary trips.

Congestion charges have been introduced, with great success, in many cities around the world. Stockholm, Sweden launched its program in 2006. A city built on islands, with many bridges, Stockholm has roughly the same population as MetroVancouver. Jonas Eliasson, one of the brains behind that city’s initiative, said if you want to encourage people to change their behaviour, you create incentives and don’t worry about the details — people will figure it out. “You shouldn’t try to tell people how to adapt,” he said in a 2012 TED Talk.“You should just nudge them in the right direction.” Immediately, on the first day tolls kicked in, rush hour traffic dropped 20%. Not much of a drop, perhaps, but it was permanent and the impact was enormous. Just a modest change in volume meant the difference between gridlock and flow. So what are we waiting for? If we had introduced a congestion charge 10 years ago, we wouldn’t have needed a new $3.5-billion, 10-lane Port Mann Bridge. Volume would have dropped such that a new bridge would not have been required. Instead, we’d have a small charge during rush

hour rather than a larger one 24 hours a day. Want proof a congestion charge works? Witness how much lighter traffic is on the Port Mann today. It’s true, many have switched to the Pattullo as a toll-free alternative. But I’d argue that people making discretionary trips are avoiding the Port Mann during rush hour, not due to traffic concerns but because of the toll. So how does this relate to the Bailey bridge? I’m not saying to toll the Bailey (though who knows, maybe that would help) but it is linked to something bigger. This conflict between New Westminster and Coquitlam is not just about a little bridge but about how we want to deal with traffic and how we want our cities to evolve. So if you assume the answer to congestion is more, bigger roads, New West sounds a bit crazy to cling to a one-lane span. But when you look at it from the perspective of “nudging” human behaviour, so we save money, have cleaner air and, maybe, live without so much traffic-jammed frustration, well, in that case, New West’s brilliant.

Don’t fall for a sob story, cash cheque Cops want people to come forward with information By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy NewS

A pair of cheque scam incidents this week has Coquitlam RCMP asking for anyone else who has been defrauded to contact them. The scams happened on July 8, one near North Road in Coquitlam and the other near Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam. In both incidents, a man approached a stranger and, using a long, emotional story about needing to buy food for his daughter,

asked the victim to cash a cheque for him. He then accompanied the victim to a nearby bank, where the victim deposited the cheque into their own accounts and then withdrew cash. “If a stranger asks you to cash a cheque for them, a red flag should go up,” said Coquitlam R C M P s p o k e s p e rson Cpl. Jamie Chung. “Many of us have a good heart and want to help a fellow citizens during times of need. However, there are also those few who prey on and take advantage of our kindness.” Chung said there are several cheque-cashing businesses, as well as banks, that will cash cheques for a small fee

and to refer someone asking for this service to a bank. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man in his late 20s to early 30s, 6’ tall and weighing about 250 lb. with short, brown hair and a clean-shaven complexion. Police believe the suspect has used this scheme on many other people and are asking anyone who recently encountered a similar incident (whether or not they were actually defrauded) to call Const. Krista Hovde of the Coquitlam RCMP Economic Crime Section at 604-552-7364 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or www.solvecrime. ca. spayne@tricitynews.com

In Janine Davies’s absence, the business organization will continue to be helmed by executive director Michael Hind and the remaining chamber executive. New WestminsterCoquitlam NDP MP Fin Donnelly has also said he will seek a seat in

the new riding, created after an electoral boundary review while Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam Conservative MP James Moore has confirmed he will run in the new riding of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam.

Sk8ers are target HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALISTS of new Coq. bylaw COUNTERTOP BUSINESS OF THE WEEK By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Proposed changes to Coquitlam’s street and traffic bylaw may soon be putting the brakes on longboarders and skateboarders. On Monday, council approved first three readings of several changes to the bylaw, which included prohibiting skateboards, longboards, inline skates and scooters on all city streets and sidewalks — such uses would be limited to multiuse pathways. Jo z s e f D i o s z e g hy, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering and public works, said the proposed changes aren’t based on a slew of complaints about skateboarders but are aimed at proactively providing a “safer environment for the traveling public.” One Burke Mountain resident said he has seen a group of young teens boarding down the neighbourhood hills, with and without a spotter alerting them to vehicles approaching on Coast Meridian Road. “It’s dangerous for them and for the drivers going up and down Coast Meridian,” said Danny Beaton. Earlier this week, he said, he was driving up the road when the driver in front of him slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting a group of boarders that had come down Highland Drive and

across Coast Meridian without stopping. Beaton said he sees the benefit of a bylaw for incidents where skateboarders and longboarders might be endangering themselves and others around them, “but as a person who used to skateboard, it shouldn’t be used for someone peacefully using it for transportation or recreation.” Dioszeghy said it’s important to look not just at the letter of the law but the intent as well, and that bylaw officers won’t be issuing tickets to little kids out with their parents, for example. “Bylaw officers have a good understanding of the intent of the bylaw, and there are various steps they can make before issuing a ticket,”he said. Coun. Craig Hodge, a Burke Mountain resident, said longboarding seems to be more of an issue in that neighbourhood, with families moving into new areas with plenty of hills. “We’ve been noticing a lot more of them on the roads,” he said. “They’re gaining a lot of speed... but the streets on Burke Mountain are getting busier. Somebody’s going to get hurt.” Hodge suggested having longboard “block parties,” where one or two streets are closed off, would give kids a safer way to enjoy the sport. spayne@tricitynews.com

Commercial development has also seen gains, rising from $8.7 million at this point in 2013 to $14.8 million so far this year. As well, McIntyre noted that commercial vacancy rates are down. “[Commercial and industrial development] has been the ongoing challenge,” he said. “We can build residential until the cows come home. It’s getting the industrial and commercial. “You don’t want to be just a bedroom community. You want a place where people can shop and, more importantly, you want places were people can work.” McIntyre said once the Evergreen Line is closer to completion, he believes the city will see an increase in commercial and industrial building permit

Tim Arthur, the city’s manager of building permits and inspections, said the city is on pace to break $100 million, a feat it has only accomplished twice before in recent history. The bulk of the work is being done in the city’s Dominion Triangle but new developments along Lougheed Highway are also pushing the number. Arthur said he his hearing anecdotally from his

Two other options — a route along Devon Road and another link along the BC Hydro right of way — have been met with a cool reception from the city of Coquitlam, which favours the continuation of Fremont Street adjacent to PoCo’s boundary up to Victoria Drive.

tion may be more agreeable to Coquitlam. Staff will analyze whether the road can work as a connection and what traffic impacts will occur in the area as a result, he added. One of the concerns noted by Currie is the fact Cedar Creek sits next to the roadway. That could potentially limit the scope of any upgrades along the route. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

New stuff aplenty at markets MARKET FRESH Karen Curtis Foods & crafts are refreshed at markets

ne of my favourite things about markets is the ever-changing selection of produce and vendors. Each week brings something new to try. This past week saw both the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam markets expanding. New farmers have come on board, as have new prepared food and craft vendors. And not only are there new vendors, many of the regular vendors are introducing new items. Farmers will try a new variety of fruit or vegetable, prepared food vendors often have new recipes and crafters seem to need to create different products regularly. Red Barn Farms added wine vinegars to its booth. Produced in the

Okanagan, the vinegars are amazing — just a splash will brighten any vegetable. The Salt Dispensary is constantly creating new salt blends and spice rubs. Bread Affair has added cookies. Golden Ears Cheesecrafters have new cheese flavours, and the list goes on. So what does that mean for the consumer? It means that farmers markets are becoming one-stop shops. It means a continual supply of locally sourced, sustainable food. It means a decreased reliance on imported food and products. It means that you are supporting local producers who live in your community rather than a shareholder who could live anywhere. Sustainability is so important to our food security. With the recent drought in California, produce from there is getting harder to get and it is becoming more expensive. Locally sourced food is often cheaper at

market and it is certainly fresher. If you find you are paying a bit more for your produce, focus on the benefits of purchasing locally. For instance, all the Wild West seafood products at the Coquitlam market have strong, sustainable practices behind them and some are Ocean Wise certified. Rockweld chicken is SPCA certified and organic. Redl’s beef is grass-fed, humanely treated and never given growth hormones. The integrity of market depends on due diligence on the part of the market staff. All farms at all markets are inspected by staff to ensure they are, in fact, growing what they are selling. The inspection process extends to prepared food vendors and crafters as well. Selection juries ensure the quality and reliability of these products so that you can be sure you are getting the very best the vendors have to offer. Why not try the following recipe for pota-

• In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in both vinegars and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir to dissolve the salt, then add the potatoes and cover with a lid. Let sit 1 hour. • After an hour, preheat oven to 425 F. Grease a large baking sheet with oil or line with parchment first then grease. • Drain the potatoes and blot dry with paper towels. Add them to a large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over top and massage into the potatoes with your hands. • Spread them out in one layer on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt and lightly with pepper. • Bake 20 minutes then toss and spread out again. Bake 15 to 20 minutes more, until fork tender and lightly golden. Serve with additional malt vinegar if desired. – from Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice by Reeni Pisano

toes?You can make it as written or shake things up a bit by using one of Red Barn’s lovely vinegars and the hickory smoked pepper from the Salt Dispensary. It makes a perfect side dish.

British Columbians anxious about the safety of senior drivers: survey Children struggle to have conversations with parents With the BC Stats agency projecting the number of seniors to rise by nearly 30% over the next few decades, the BC Automobile Association’s (BCAA) new Senior Driver Survey shows that British Columbians are worried about the safety of aging drivers in their lives and struggling to have those challenging conversations. To help, BCAA introduced in the spring its Senior Driver Toolkit, an online resource to keep senior drivers safe on the road. The survey, conducted recently by Insights West, revealed that 72% of British Columbians are concerned about the safety of senior drivers. Most alarmingly, many respondents who have a mature driver in their lives feel anxious whenever their loved one gets behind the wheel (32%) and feel powerless about how to keep their aging driver safe on the road (38%). “People are worried each time their aging loved one gets into the car to drive but they don’t know what to do,”said BCAA’s Mark Donnelly in a press release.“The good news is that every-

Is senior’s home safe? It’s crucial that adult children dedicate one day a year to perform a safety check of their senior loved one’s home, according to a survey of Canadian emergency room doctors conducted for Home Instead Senior Care network. But in the last year, less than half (41%) of family caregivers surveyed had done so. The research suggests a lack of knowledge and attention to potential home safety issues that could lead to danger and the risk of accidents and falls in an older adult’s home. Each year, more than 1.6 million older adults go to emergency departments for fall-related injuries, according to the National Institutes of Health. As well, the Public Health Agency of Canada reports that falls account for more than half of all injuries among Canadians age 65 and older. The effects of aging can leave older adults vulnerable to falls doing a variety of everyday tasks. Home also can be a safety trap, with the most common issues identified in the research as: • throw rugs that pose tripping hazards; • lack of grab bars (e.g. in the shower or bath); • and kitchen storage that is too high or low. To download a free home safety checklist, visit makinghomesaferforseniors.com. one cares about road safety.They just don’t know how to begin the conversation.This is an important issue and will become even more important as more drivers age in this province. BCAA wants to help.” While most British Columbians (69%) feel road safety would improve if families and their senior driver discussed safe driving, 63% have not talked to an aging family member about their driving.

Nearly half of those respondents (41%) don’t know how to approach their loved one to have that conversation. BCAA’s new web tool, located at bcaa. com/seniordrivers, incorporates information from the Canadian Medical Association’s Driver’s Guide and Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists. The toolkit provides families with advice, a conversation guide and a video that helps them

in their discussions. The web tool provides senior drivers with easy-to-follow assessment tools and videos with tips on how to manage challenging driving conditions.

MORE REsults

• 94% of senior drivers have taken at least one step to adjust their driving habits to stay safe, including: no longer driving at night, avoiding high traffic hours and getting regular eye and hearing exams. • 71% of respondents, including senior drivers, say more education on road safety for aging drivers is needed. • 42% of respondents who have a senior driver in their lives say they don’t have enough infor-

mation to know whether their aging loved one is able to drive safely. • 38% admit they don’t know what signs to look out for that may indicate the mature driver in their life is having trouble driving safely. • 54% of senior drivers indicate they’re concerned about the safety of drivers in their age group. • 10% of senior drivers talked to a loved one about their driving safety. • 5% of senior drivers have discussed ways to change their driving habits with their doctor or family member. • 87% of senior drivers are open to getting information and advice on how to drive safely.

Question of the Week Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you?

Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while. The Lowdown Power: 235hp 2.0L turbo or 194hp hybrid Fill-up: N/A Sticker price: N/A

Safety Tip: There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

Cruze-ing up the charts Our neighbours to the south may still be suspicious of smaller vehicles but they are more than welcome on driveways north of the border. In the top 20 best sellers, 15 are compact or sub-compacts and the remaining five are by no means gas-guzzlers. The Honda Civic is the perennial top seller, and according to the latest figures available, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it. The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth place and it’s a ray of light for General Motors. It recorded a five percent year-over-year sales increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 percent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch. Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car products – most of which fall into the small car category. GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The sub-compact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has caught fire in the way the Cruze has. It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact fourdoor sedan and five-door hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was impressed with its design and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or singles with a daily commute on their hands. However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist! It may be a young’un but it’s already undergone some significant changes and engine

Baby boomers are in nostalgia mode as they contemplate their lost youth. And as the last generation that really bought into North America’s love affair with the car, it’s natural that some of that nostalgia is of the four-wheeled variety.

improvements. Perhaps most significant among them was the introduction of a clean diesel version with a sticker price of around $26,000. It’s not inexpensive but Canadians like the 4.2 L/100 km highway fuel consumption offered by the 2-litre, turbocharged diesel power plant. The base Cruze LS is also easy on your gas budget. Its standard 6-speed manual transmission, coupled with a 1.4-litre power plant, promises a highway fuel consumption rating of 5.4 L/100 km – the auto tranny makes that 5.6 L/100 km. The Cruze Eco’s 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway. It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a WiFi hot spot. The Chevrolet AppShop will allow owners to download all available apps directly to the vehicle, offering access to vehicle data, music, news, weather and travel information. No prices yet.

Harley’s big new bike weighs in light AUSTIN, TX. – I can’t think of a better time to learn how to ride or a harder time to ride. These juxtaposing thoughts can be explained thusly: There are so many great choices for new riders when it comes to machinery it’s hard to make a decision on what to add to your garage. But the variety also means there are bikes to suit all. Those wanting to get on sportbikes don’t need to start on a 250 or 300 cc, let alone a 600 cc variant. You can get a 125 cc. Or when it comes to cruisers, you don’t have to start on a machine that might be a little on the heavy side. You can get a competent road partner, which looks cool and doesn’t weigh south of 250 kilos. Enter the 2015 Harley-Davidson Street 750, 222 kilos, soaking wet. Hitting streets later this year, it’s the first new bike the American motorcycle maker has concocted from scratch in the last 11 years. The last all-new bike was the V-Rod. And with a blank canvas, Harley could start from the ground up, listen to the voices of the customer and translate that into a cruiser that is tailored to urban riding. On the streets of Austin, Texas, a group of international media had the opportunity to take the new machinery for a test drive. While the majority of the route takes us on long, sweeping stretches of country roads,

the Street 750 really shines in slow speed environments. Why does it thrive in an urban setting? For many reasons, the first being that Harley wanted to create a bike for the city rider. A bike that has a low-revving yet silky smooth engine and transmission, a low seat height, a favourable suspension – for all the potholes and road imperfections one might encounter – and is a bike on which a variety of riders can feel comfortable. Let’s start with its allnew engine. The Street 750 is matched with a liquid-cooled – yes, liquid — 749 cc, 60-degree, which gives ample acceleration when you need it, particularly when you’re accelerating from a standstill. Not only that, it doesn’t spew unwanted heat towards the rider when they’re idling. And if you’re like me, and wear full gear even on hot, summer days, you’re incredibly grateful for that. Furthermore, it’s paired to a six-speed transmission. Normally, stop-go traffic on a Harley would be a pain. However, it wasn’t with the 750. It’s the easiest and lightest clutch I’ve worked with on any of the American

good, though I would have brought the handlebars a little closer to my body. They’re not a stretch for me, but something that would have made the ride more comfortable. I also would have liked a little more “grab” in the front and rear brakes. It seemed like I really had to bite hard into the front brake to get it to slow down. The logic behind that is that new riders are less likely to get in trouble in an event where they are nervous and get a little jumpy. Lastly, fit and finish of the

the Christmas holiday: It just feels good. When it comes to the 750’s suspension, it’s not jarring and pleasantly soft. Not so soft that it puts you to sleep, but a good balance of urban comfort mixed with open road riding pleasure. Up front, the 37mm telescopic forks and rear twin tubular externally mounted shocks absorb the bumps in the road and leave the rider feeling fine. However, after a day of logging over 200 kilometres, the rear end does feel a little sleepy. General ergonomics are

bike could have been neater. Wires were exposed, and it took away from the overall aesthetic. That said the bike does have character to it. The 2015 Street 750 from Harley-Davidson has many good things going for it. And with it tipping the scale at just 222 kg (489 lb.) – in running order – looks like Christmas comes early. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date. Visit http://www.harley-davidson.ca for more information on the bike. alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca Follow us at:

High school students show their skills on video A hands-on ability, whatever the skill, is a talent that tends to go unrecognised and too often, it is under-appreciated, even by those who possess the talent. That’s why I was delighted to be asked again to participate as a judge (one of five) in the annual “Show Us Your Skills” competition organized by Discover Skills BC for high school students. Students create a short video about a trade or skill that they are interested in pursuing. Prizes for the top three videos are presented to both the student and the high school that they attend. The high level of expertise that some of these kids already possess was remarkable and the video entries this year were outstanding. First prize this year went to Connor Shaw, a student at Traditional Learning Academy in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. He was taught to weld by his uncle and at age 12 he fabricated a flat deck for a truck he was given. More recently he

by Bob McHugh

added a hydraulic lift system that gives the flat deck a dump feature. Connor loves welding and plans to pursue a career in a related trade. Connor will get an Apple MacBook Air and his high school will receive $2,000. The second prize winner was Albert Leung, who attends Steveston-London secondary in Richmond. Albert will get an Apple iPad Air 16GB and the school will receive $1,000. Bernice Chung, a student at Eric Hamber Secondary, in Vancouver, came third, she will receive an Apple iPad Mini, and $500 goes to the school. Trades can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path with a higher than average

wage level and a solid future. The trades sector in BC is expected to face an overall labour shortage by 2016 that will deepen in the following years, according to WorkBC Trades Occupations Outlook (2010-2020) report (www.workbc.ca). A goal of this video competition is to encourage more BC students to simply consider a trade as a rewarding career alternative and entice more teachers and high schools to include trades as a career option in the classroom. In the auto service industry, the highly regarded Ford ASSET technician training program is a good example. Locally, apprentices spend four months at BCIT and four months in a BC Ford dealership (mainly in the service sector, but also in other departments) on a rotational basis. They can also choose to specialize in a specific area, such as auto electronics, and get additional upgrade certification courses through Ford training.

Most apprentice programs are four years and on-thejob training is ongoing, especially in the auto service industry. Changes in new technology are rapidly transforming trades, as well as other occupations. Looking even further ahead, our growing and evolving job market will require skilled, capable people who can adapt to new challenges and new technologies. Discover Skills BC is an initiative, funded by the BC Government, to help provide easy access for secondary students to opportunities in trades and technology training. The competition is also run in co-operation with Trades Training BC, Skills Canada and the Industry Training Authority. My fellow judges for this year’s competition were Mike Holmes, Spencer Thomson, Suki Takagi and Shelley Robinson. • The top three entries are at www.discoverskillsbc.ca bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

Morningstar brings luxurious view homes to Maple Ridge By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has an excellent track record for building spectacular single-family homes, including nine neighbourhoods on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, and are one of the largest single-family builders in the area with nearly 2,000 homes built to date. Now they are heading out to Maple Ridge to showcase their expertise with their latest project, The Summit at Grant Hill. “These are some of our best designs ever,” says Deborah

Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing at Morningstar. “Add to that the scenic backdrop of the Golden Ears Mountains and it’s just magical.” In fact, Calahan notes that she’s already had a lot of people contacting her wanting more information about the project, or to purchase a home immediately. “We’re thrilled at the response to our homes,” she says. “We’re bringing our best ideas from Burke Mountain to Maple Ridge … and adding some new twists.” They also have Robertson Heights coming soon.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

“Maple Ridge is a new area for us, full of natural beauty,” Calahan says. “Here, we’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings and blend with the uniqueness of the neighbourhood.” In this case, it is sprawling estate homes with three-car garages and huge windows to capture the maximum amount of views and nature possible! The Summit at Grant Hill will feature 26 four-bedroom luxury homes on 1/2 acre homesites with large, private backyards perfect for a hot tub, basketball court or pool. The lush greenery surrounding the homes adds to the sense of peace you’ll feel as soon as you enter your new home, and the views of the mountains and blue skies are simply stunning. Inside, the vaulted ceilings, gorgeous kitchens and relaxing bedrooms are designed to impress. Morningstar is holding a grand opening on July 12, starting at noon. Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register, which will give you earlier access to purchase one of the homes. The sales centre is located at 25465 Godwin Drive, Maple Ridge, and homes will start at $690,000 plus GST. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com.

Blexo Developments’ Delta Rise is a premier real estate opportunity in North Delta, with huge balconies, spacious homes and a prime location that offers stunning views and easy access to shopping, dining, leisure and recreation opportunities.

Rising to the top with Delta Rise By Kerry Vital

Blexo Developments is bringing a new class of real estate to North Delta with Delta Rise, a curving tower with a glass facade that has buyers all over the Lower Mainland getting excited. “You have to see it to believe it,” says Satish Sharma, principal at Blexo Developments. “You can’t replicate this anywhere else.” As the tallest tower in North Delta at 37 storeys, Delta Rise offers amazing views, and large balconies to take advantage of them. “The balconies are larger than those in some single-family homes,” Sharma says. At 300 square feet, he’s right. The balcony offers tons of room for entertaining or relaxing and watching the sunset. Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, while 8’6” ceilings and spacious floorplans contribute to the luxurious feeling in every home. Homes at Delta Rise range from 475 to 1,039 square feet, in a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom plans. The gourmet kitchen, with its stainless-steel appliances and polished quartz countertops will suit chefs of any calibre. “These finishings are extremely highquality,” says Sharma.

The bedrooms have built-in wardrobes instead of traditional closets, adding an extra level of convenience to your home, and the bathrooms are stylish and elegant, with a floating laminate vanity, polished solid quartz countertops and a deep soaker tub with integral skirt and full-height stacked porcelain tile tub surround. Delta Rise is part of the revitalization of the Delta area, which is rapidly becoming an important hub for growth and investment. It will be located minutes from the new North Delta Community Park and Rec Centre, as well as Sungod Recreation Centre and several other parks and green spaces. Schools, shopping and dining are all within walking distance. In fact, Delta Rise will have a coffee shop in its lobby, as well as a resident concierge service. Other amenities on-site include a rooftop courtyard on the third level, with a park, outdoor barbecue pit, playground, garden plots, outdoor fitness area, zen garden and much more. Inside, there will be a fitness centre, media and entertainment rooms, a workshop, a library and meeting rooms, among other amenities. “Delta is truly open for business,” says Sharma. “It has so much to offer.” Homes at Delta Rise start at $199,000. For more information, visit www.deltarise. ca, call 604-594-RISE (7473), or stop by the presentation centre at 11941 80 Avenue, Delta, open daily between 1 and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and noon and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

plenty of options for customizing your home, from exterior gable lighting to a master bedroom sitting room. Windows are always a big thing in a Morningstar home, and that continues at The Summit at Grant Hill. This time, they’ve included walls of windows to let the natural light pour in and take advantage of the views and natural surroundings. Morningstar has built two show homes for buyers to visit. “We take the guess-work out, by providing show homes that are tangible examples of what your home will be like,” says Calahan. “Prospective purchasers can walk through the show homes and choose which floorplan is right for them!” Buyers at any Morningstar project are assured of great customer service as well as the peace of mind in knowing that they are purchasing from a reputable builder who will stand behind the homes they sell. In fact, Calahan notes that she often sees buyers looking at a Morningstar home after a friend or family member purchases one. “Word-of-mouth is our best form of advertising,” she says. “We’ve found the secret recipe for making homeowners happy.” Buyers will certainly be happy with their home at The Summit at Grant Hill. “This is definitely going to be a winner for us,” says Calahan. “We are building luxury homes on large scenic properties at great prices; now that’s something that you don’t see every day!” Purchasing a new home can be stressful, but Morningstar always endeavors to take the stress out of home-buying experience (that is the Morningstar Promise after all!), making it easy for you to sit back and enjoy the process. Morningstar is holding a grand opening of The Summit at Grant Hill on July 12, starting at noon. Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register, which will give you earlier access to purchase one of the homes. The sales centre is located at 25465 Godwin Drive, Maple Ridge, and homes will start at $690,000 plus GST.

New additions bolster Panthers roster Club looks to turn around recent woes with younger group By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

There will be some new faces in the Port Moody Panthers lineup this year. Cole Iantoro, Daniel Szpakowski, Stefano Centanni and Jovin Kaila, all from the

Burnaby Winter Club’s midget prep program, have committed to join the Cats when the Pacific Junior Hockey League season gets underway this fall. “I’m really excited to play for the Panthers this season,” said Iantoro, a forward who played his minor hockey in Coquitlam, in a press release. “The chance to play at this level in my local community and for a team that is focused on player

development is amazing. I know this is an incredible opportunity to develop my game.” The new addition of Centanni and Kaila will also give the team some much needed help on the blue line. Last year, the Cats had the second worst number of goals against in the league with 202, with only the North Delta Devils letting in more markers. But the team also has high hopes that the two

blue liners can contribute offensively. Ron Johnson, the club’s director of hockey development, said Kaila will add some scoring punch to the back end, while head coach Kevin Flather noted that Centanni will be expected to stabilize the power play. As for Szpakowski, Johnson said he adds a good mix of size and skill. “He is strong in the corners and in front of

the net,” Johnson said. “In addition, Daniel competes hard and has a great worth ethic and attitude.” With the new players, Port Moody hopes to move up in the PJHL standings. The club has struggled in recent years and missed the playoffs in the 2013-14 season. For more information about the squad go to www.portmoodypanthers.com. sports@tricitynews.com

Top Tri-City track athletes heading to int’l competition Trio of athletes will face tough competition, says Canadian coach A handful of Tri-City athletes will be heading to Kamloops next month to compete in the International Association of Athletics under-23 championships. B e n j a m i n Aye s u Attah, who graduated

from Heritage Woods in 2011, will join Team Canada in the 400 metre race, while Coquitlam runner Nathan George is also expected to compete in the same event. James Linde, another Coquitlam athlete and 2012 Charles Best secondary grad, will be running in the 4x100 relay. The trio will join 35 other Canadian athletes at the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletics

championship, which w i l l t a ke p l a c e i n Kamloops between Aug. 8 and 10. “We have selected our best eligible athletes to compete against one of the strongest regions within the IAAF,” said Carla Nichols, head coach for the Canadian NACAC under-23 team. “The objective is that athletes compete at their very best while challenging for a place on the podium.”

The experience, she added, is intended to cultivate high-performance success and prepare the athletes for future international competition, including the Olympics. The last time the event was held in 2012, Canada won 18 medals, including four golds, six silvers and eight bronzes. For more information about the competition go to www.nacac2014. com.

Two golds for Coq. soccer clubs only features under-14, under-16 and under-18 teams. Four other Coquitlam soccer squads competed in the finals. The under-13 boys team lost in penalty kicks, while the under18 boys team lost 3-2 in regulation. The under-16 girls team also lost in penalty kicks and the under-18 girls squad was shutout 2-0. The under-16 National Club Championships will be held in October in Mt. Pearl, N.L.

Boys squad will head to national tournament after winning in finals The Coquitlam M e t r o - Fo rd S o c c e r Club’s under-16 boys club will represent B.C. at the National Championships next month. The team qualified for the tournament when they finished in first place during last m o n t h ’ s P rov i n c i a l Premier Cup finals — the highest youth cup in
