Principal’s email says there’s a toll for underfunding By Diane Strandberg ThE TRi-CiTy NEwS
A School District 43 principal is being hailed as a hero by speaking out about school underfunding in a letter to parents. Kevin Akins, principal of Cedar Drive elementary in Port Coquitlam, wrote an email to parents Monday that his
school’s supply budget has been cut 87% since 2002, with the school having just $23,000 to spend on books and desks compared to $181,000 in 2002, when fewer students attended. “Your children go to a great school,” he wrote in the letter, which was posted Thursday on Twitter and discussed on local radio. “Sometimes the quality of their school experience hides the reality of their teachers trying to do more with less through years of in-
204
creasing class sizes and decreasing funding for every facet of the education system.” “The quality of what teachers do is undiminished but I can tell you that the toll of doing it is greater,” wrote Akins, who said classes will be much fuller this year, reaching legislated limits, and said he worries about whether he can afford to replace a desk that was broken. One Twitter user gave Akins’ letter a “Bravo.” see ‘WHEN YOU’, page A3
Noh turning grief into action with silver alert By Diane Strandberg ThE TRi-CiTy NEwS

Coquitlam’s Maryanna Yoxall has been collecting Terry Fox Run t-shirts since the Marathon of Hope in 1980. Yoxall’s father had cancer and was in the same hospital as Terry. The famous Canadian cancer crusader even signed a couple of her shirts before he succumbed to his illness in 1981. More on Sunday’s Terry Fox Runs in the Tri-Cities on page A3.
A year after Coquitlam grandfather Shin Noh went missing, his son Sam Noh is still stricken with grief and loss over the fact that his dad’s body has not been found. “It’s devastating not to have closure. It’s a human thing, you know?” the Port Moody
business owner says. Reflecting on a year of ups and downs, Noh says the loss of hope is harder to bear than the fear and anxiety he felt when his dad disappeared Sept. 18 because at least then, there were some potential sightings and a possibility Shin could be found alive. see BC SILVER, page A14

2014 TERRY FOX RUN

unny skies are expected for the 34th annual Terry Fox Run, which is taking place at four locations Sunday across the TriCities.
TIME:
Strike may delay but won’t stop school runs
But when contacted, Akins wouldn’t comment on the letter, noting the board office is supposed to deal with the media. His email comes as education leaders consider next steps in the labour dispute between the province and B.C.’s public school teachers. Wednesday, the BC Teachers’ Federation announced that 99.4% of teachers supported a “yes” vote to binding arbitration. Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who

MORE FOX RUN INFO
For more information about the Terry Fox Run or to donate, go to www.terryfox.org. between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and there will be a speech by Judi Fox, Terry’s sister.
COQUITLAM
Coquitlam will start its Terry Fox Run at Blue Mountain Park; registration begins at 9:15 a.m. and the run is expected to kick off at 10:15 a.m. Coquitlam will have 10 km, 6 km and 2 km routes, and all are suitable for bikes, wheel-
chairs, strollers and inline skaters. Dogs on a leash are also welcome.
PORT MOODY
In Port Moody, the Terry Fox Run is set to begin at 10 a.m., with registration starting at 9 a.m. and the start line located at the stage at Rocky Point Park. The event will also feature three routes — 10 km, 5 km and 2 km — with the route lining the
Shoreline Trail and looping back to Rocky Point. The routes are suitable for bicycles, wheelchairs, strollers and inline skates, and dogs on leashes are welcome.
ANMORE
Anmore will hold its Terry Fox Run in Spirit Park (behind the village offices), with registration set to begin at 11 a.m. ahead of the noon run start. Two routes will be available at this event — 2.5 km and 4.5 km — and cyclists, wheelchairs, strollers, inline skaters and dogs on leashes are welcome.
One of the Terry Fox Foundation’s most effective fundraisers will go ahead, no matter how long the B.C. school strike drags on. Each year, close to 1,400 schools throughout B.C. and the Yukon teach their students about Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope, raise money and do a run in their neighbourhood. Terry Fox Foundation school co-ordinator Kirsten Fox says this year’s National School Run Day is scheduled for Sept. 24. Even if students were back in school today, it’s unlikely everyone could get themselves organized by that date. But Fox says that date is more of a suggestion than anything set in stone. “Everyone I’ve spoken to has committed to holding an event whenever they can,” she said. “If that’s not

“They make magic for your children and will continue to do so under what can accurately be described as deteriorating conditions.” Kevin Akins, Cedar Drive elementary principal earlier dismissed the province-wide vote as a “ploy,” had a statement waiting when the result was announced Wednesday evening. “As we have consistently made clear, binding arbitration would
lead to unacceptable tax increases in this case,” Fassbender said. “That’s because the two sides remain too far apart on wages and benefits.” BCTF president Jim Iker said the government is obstructing solutions.
September, then we’re completely happy to support them in October or November or any other time.” Even April is a viable option — and symbolic. On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox started the Marathon of Hope in St. John’s, N.L. “A few schools already do that,” Fox said. “Every school is a little different in how they approach it but they’re all amazing.” Collectively, these events count for approximately 60% of the Terry Fox Foundation’s annual fundraising income. Last year, those events raised just under $1.4 million. School runs are often spearheaded by a passionate teacher or administrator who works closely with the Terry Fox Foundation. Schools register and are supplied with organizational guidelines and materials. “ We g i ve t h e m some amazing posters to help promote the events,” Fox noted. “We have lesson plans online that are made by teachers for teachers. We have some
204
great books and DVDs designed with kids in mind, and we have lots of temporary tattoos and stickers.” If requested, the Terry Fox Foundation will send out a Terry’s Te a m m e m b e r t o speak at assemblies, usually a cancer survivor who drives home the importance of what they’re doing. Fox has visited many schools herself and said she always finds the experience inspiring. “I visit schools and ask them about Terry. And it’s cool when a little kid puts up his or her hand and tells me exactly where Terry started his run, how far he ran and how much money he raised,” she says with a smile. “A couple years ago, we started a Little Fox Run at daycares and preschools, and it’s so great seeing the little ones getting excited about Terry and learning about him.” Fox said 84 cents from every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research.

POCO
Port Coquitlam will be holding the Hometown Run — traditionally, the Tri-Cities’ biggest Fox Run — starting at the Hyde Creek rec centre (1379 Laurier Ave.) at 10 a.m. Participants are asked to arrive early to register for either the 3 km, 5 km, 8 km or 10 km routes, and may run, walk, cycle or inline skate. Wheelchairs and strollers are welcome, and dogs must be on a leash. PoCo is testing out a new route this year, with the 10 km course heading over the Coast Meridian Overpass and down Kingsway Avenue to Terry Fox Library before looping back on itself, with a stop by Terry Fox secondary. The 6 km route will also see participants crossing the overpass, circling back and visiting Fox school, while the 3 km route will have the crowd turn at Terry Fox secondary. The band Legal Limit will be performing classic rock covers at the Hometown Run

“This government has said ‘no’ to arbitration, has tried to stall and block mediation, and has not moved on any monetary proposals in negotiations since June,”Iker said. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the union is seeking $315 million per year more than the government is offering, including wages, benefits and a fund to reduce class size and increase special needs support. Although widely discussed, Akins’ comments aren’t much different than those made
by SD43 superintendent Tom Grant in May when he spoke to The Tri-City News about what the impact of $13.4 million in budget cuts would have on the school district. Akins concluded his email Monday by asking parents to support striking teachers: “When you drive by, give them a honk and a wave. They make magic for your children and will continue to do so under what can accurately be described as deteriorating conditions.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com — with files from Tom Fletcher

Concerns about PM bylaw aimed at large, new homes
monster homes since a group of residents in the Ioco Road corridor complained about the proliferation of the large houses — along with blocked views and skyhigh retaining walls — early in the summer. A town hall meeting in mid July raised a number of concerns and, after a lengthy discussion at the July 29 council meeting, city staff were directed to report back on several potential amendments to the zoning bylaw to address the issue of “mega homes,”including: • incorporating the
floor area of finished and unfinished basements, garages, carports and the double-height space of lofted entrances in floor area ratio calculations; • limiting the height of house podiums above grade, and redefining podiums to include exposed foundation walls, columns, stilts, retaining walls, fill or other means of elevating a building above grade; • limiting the height of retaining walls to a maximum of 2.4 m and introducing a minimum 1:1 property line setback for them;

Re.“Factory model is fading for B.C.’s public schools” (BC Views, The Tri-City News, Sept. 10). Tom Fletcher’s most recent column contained incorrect information. BC Teachers’ Federation executive members are, in fact, not receiving pay during the public school strike.
The architects behind Port Moody’s new fire hall have received an award from a firefighting industry organization. The Fire Industry Equipment Research Organization (FIERO) recognized Chernoff Thompson Architects with a fire station design excellence award. FIERO, which was established as a non-profit organization to improve firefighter health and safety, noted the Inlet Centre hall’s decontamination facilities, energy efficiency and overall safety as reasons to give the award. PoMo’s new fire hall was completed earlier this year at a cost of almost $11 million. The old hall at Ioco Road and Murray Street, is slated for demolition.

As Port Moody council considered the public consultation process for a so-called “good neighbour bylaw,” some residents of the Ioco Road corridor expressed concerns that the changes amount to too much, too fast and could devalue their homes. And while most speakers said they were against “monster homes,” they also questioned what, exactly, the term means. “I feel bad for the families who are impacted but it’s irresponsible to kneejerk react,” said Glenn Cherepak, an April Road resident. He bought his home earlier this year and, despite plans to renovate, the condition of the foundation necessitated a rebuild — which he fears will get snarled in delays while council debates changes to the zoning bylaw. “I don’t want my nice house to get caught in bureaucracy because you guys are rushing to respond to a squeaky wheel,” he said. “This is turning into an I-washere-first bylaw.” Mark Jauck, who is an Ioco Road property owner and developer, said the sudden changes are putting his business — and homeowners’ property values — at risk. “Can you imagine anyone paying current market value for the right to build a home of 2,350 sq. ft. over three levels?” he asked. “That’s the size of an attached townhouse.” Ray Gaucher, an Ioco Road resident of 40 years, worried the proposed bylaw changes are too punitive, particularly for retirees depending on their home equity to provide income. And while one speaker questioned whether a person has a guaranteed right to their view in perpetuity, another emphasized the loss in property values for those dwarfed by neighbouring mega homes. Council has been looking at the issue of
• introducing a new means of grade calculation using the average grade based on measurements taken at the lowest elevations at the front and rear of the lot; • capping the maximum permitted building height for both peaked and flat roofs at 10.5 m and introducing a maximum eave height to that of the existing or previous house on the lot; and, • increasing minimum rear and front yard setbacks to preserve view corridors. At Tuesday’s meeting, council approved staff’s proposed public consultation plan with residents in the Ioco Road/ Pleasantside neighbourhood. Staff have identified a study area that encompasses 944 properties — a scale much larger than expected, said James Stiver, general manager of development services — and will build an email database for electronic updates on the process as well as regular updates to the city’s dedicated web page on the topic. A town hall meeting will take place on Oct. 27.

More health help planned for Riverview Hiring fair on Sat. for a program to help men, women By Diane Strandberg THe Tri-CiTy NewS
Riverview Hospital may have closed two years ago but discussion on the future of the 244acre site is ongoing, with many suggesting it become a refuge for people with mental health and addiction issues. It apparently is already, with a program about to launch on the Riverview grounds for people recovering from both mental illness and addiction. The executive director of non-profit Coast Mental Health confirmed this week that three years of funding has been granted by the Provincial Health Services Authority for a program for 40 men and
women to run out of the Hillside and Brookside buildings on the site. Tomorrow (Saturday), a job fair is being held on the Riverview grounds to seek out people for more than 40 positions, including mental health practitioners, cooks, housekeepers and leisure therapists. Darrell Burnham said the referrals will come from the Burnaby Centre for Mental Health and Addictions, with Coast Mental Health providing up to a year or more of support through a variety of counselling and clinical programs, including 24-hour nursing care. Denise Bradshaw, program director with BC Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, said the money comes from a $5-million fund announced by the Ministry of Health this
year to deal with people who have both mental health and addiction issues.“The goal is to allow people to have a longer stay in treatment and recovery before moving back to home communities,”she said. Whatever the goals, members of the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society are welcoming the news as a sign that the former provincial mental health hospital is still regarded as a place to support people with mental illness. “It’s such a place for healing,” said Norma Gillespie, who noted society volunteers will be cleaning up the creek next to the Hillside and Brookside buildings to make the area welcoming for the new residents. The group has long championed Riverview as a centre for mental

PCT plans expansion to accommodate potash By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
The public can get a look at Pacific Coast Terminals’ plans for handling potash at an open house next Tuesday at Port Moody’s Old Mill Boathouse. PCT signed an agreement with K+S Potash Canada in April and expects to be handling about 1.8 million tonnes of the material, starting late in 2016, from the company’s Legacy mine project in Saskatchewan. “Clearly, this is beneficial to PCT but we believe it is also quite beneficial to Port Moody,” Wade Leslie, PCT’s vicepresident and general manager, said in a presentation to PoMo council Tuesday. The agreement will mean about 300 full-time construction jobs over two years as PCT builds its potash handling facilities as well as about 60 new full-time jobs at PCT once the operation is running. The new facility will also mean up to $2.5 million for PoMo’s coffers, up from the $1 million PCT currently pays in property taxes. PCT will be handling three grades of the material, which is largely used as a fertilizer, and will be adding an automated railcar dumper with conveyors to a storage shed. The shed, 83 m wide, 34 m high and almost three football fields long, will be capable of holding 160,000 tonnes of potash. All construction will take place within PCT’s existing footprint and conveyors, transfer points and ship-loaders will be enclosed or covered to minimize dust. To handle the increase in vessel traffic PCT is also planning to dredge the navigation channel near its facility. Leslie said dredged material will be relocated to a deep portion of the inlet near PCT, an area that was significantly over-dredged in the 1960s, providing an overall environmental benefit by returning the sea floor closer to its original elevation and to available sunlight. Port Metro Vancouver is expected to grant the dredging permit in November, with dredging slated to run until February 2015. Potential impacts for nearby residents include noise from the suction engines and bright lights on the dredge when it’s in operation. In response to questions from council, Leslie said the dredging is needed to allow vessels to travel the channel during different tide levels
and to prepare for different customers. “With more diverse product lines, you have competing interests,” Leslie said. “You don’t want to have a potash vessel waiting for a sulphur vessel — there’s a lot of money on the line for these vessels.” In addition to its existing sulphur operation, PCT is expanding to handle canola oil, likely by the end of the year. • The Sept. 16 open house at the Old Mill Boathouse will feature information displays starting at 6 p.m. and a formal presentation at 7 p.m. PCT staff will be on hand to answer any questions.

Oil spill cleanup could take five years: study A summer oil spill into the Fraser River in Surrey from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline would mostly be swept quickly downstream and into the Strait of Georgia, with some oil reaching the Gulf Islands. That projection, filed by the company as part of the risk assessment for its proposed $5.4-billion pipeline expansion, estimates cleanup could take up to five years. The study assumed a fullbore pipeline breach just downstream of the Port Mann Bridge releasing 1.25 million litres (more than 10,000 barrels) of diluted bitumen. “The process of restoration and recovery could take anywhere from 12 months to five years,”it said.

■ WHAT WE THINK:
E
vergreen Line construction is transforming Port Moody and Coquitlam right before our eyes and the construction is not without controversy. At least one Coquitlam merchant is complaining his business is suffering as a result of parking changes on North Road and there is no doubt drivers and pedestrians have to plan their routes so as not to get caught in construction-related traffic. Through it all, the contractor responsible for the project, EGRT, has been sending out regular bulletins warning drivers and transit users about changes to come. These messages come with such regularity many people are probably ignoring them, only to get frustrated later. EGRT can’t be faulted for this. But could more be done to support business along North Road that are hardest hit by parking changes? There is little the city of Coquitlam can do but raise the issue and keep pressing until something is done. But there’s no sense in letting businesses suffer because of construction. It’s time for EGRT to think outside the box on this one.

Who is really struggling through BCTF strike? AS I SEE IT Jessica Peters
I
’m a B.C. public school parent, three times over. And as such, I should be simply exhausted from the unfair struggles handed to me courtesy of this strike. You must have heard that by now. I know I sure have. Yes, if reports and advertisements are to be believed, my work is suffering because I’ve been terrified to leave my children at home. You know, they just may get kidnapped or burn down the neighbourhood. Besides, I’ve been emotionally paralyzed, unable to properly parent with our schedule so thrown off course. I’ve been left throwing my hands up in the air and wondering what to do with these people who insist on calling me mother. Oh, come on. Who is really buying that? Most parents are a bit more resourceful
than we’ve been painted. A few extra chores, some family projects, online resources and our own home library have kept our house afloat so far, and we’ll dig our oars a little deeper the longer this strikes runs. Now, I know my situation is not necessarily the same as yours, dear reader. I know that there are families that are really and truly inconvenienced by the B.C. public school teachers’ strike. My heart goes out to parents of small children, running between home, school, daycare and work. I was there not so long ago. But I can’t count myself in that group today, not this time around. And I’m assuming I’m not alone. You see, my children are in middle and high school. These are young but capable people who can look after themselves for hours at a time, who cook and clean at acceptable levels, and who even get some reading, writing and arithmetic done before I get home from work most days, even while school is in session. My kids are even smart enough to have magically hardwired an infallible tattle-tale system di-

rectly into my cell phone, and they test it often. So, if anything were amiss, I’m confident I would hear about it before the neighbours did. On this point, I’m sure I’m also not alone. So, no, I’m not feeling inconvenienced at all. I’m lucky to be going through this particular strike action with older children, flexible hours and the knowledge that we’ve come through this before and survived. My oldest son will graduate this year. Like most grads of 2015, he became a student in 2002; strike action has become as inconvenient to his generation as a case of the hiccups — you know you’ll get them, you just don’t know when they’ll start and when they’ll stop. But he and many of his friends have hit the financial jackpot within this strike, turning summer jobs into full time gigs. And as of Monday, I’m among the majority of eligible parents who have already“earned”$200 in cash from the government — money that I’ll likely split between college funds but is intended to help pay for the struggles associated with the lack of schooling for my youngest son.
But let’s be honest, those struggles are not mine. I will make it through this labour strife untouched. The same cannot be said for my kids, who have now lost three weeks of school and are set to lose this one as well. One son is anxious to finish Grade 12 and move along into his chosen trade. Another son has dug his toes into the sand over homeschooling assignments, wondering what good online worksheets will do without a teacher to actually teach him. And finally, there’s my youngest son, who was so eager to leave elementary school behind. A boy who has yet to choose an instrument for band class, to outfit his first-ever locker, to figure out his bell schedule and to enjoy every other rite of passage September usually brings. They’ll never get this learning time back, and that’s the real struggle.

A Grade 5’s view of the schools dispute The Editor, The teachers and government have been fighting over wages and class sizes for a few years now. But what has happened over the last few months was unexpected. When teachers started job action on school days is when it all began. Then, when the teachers were forbidden by their employers from being on school grounds at recess and lunch, and could only be at school 45 minutes before it started and ended, things started to get harder for everyone. Teachers did not have enough time to grade papers at school and could not coach or supervise clubs. School activities were cancelled and many students missed out on lots of stuff that all the kids in other provinces would be learning. When school unexpectedly ended in the
middle of June, it was upsetting for lots of students. Many things, such as yearbook signing, seemed unlikely. Now that school still has not started, there are many things I’m afraid of missing, such as: time to learn about different topics, seeing friends and report cards. At the end of last school year, my school, Kilmer elementary in Port Coquitlam, was one of the schools that did not give out report cards. On Sept. 2, I was supposed to be going into Grade 5, my last year of elementary school, and I was looking forward to being the one of the leaders of the school. Now, I just wish the teachers and government would be better leaders themselves. The teachers are on strike because they want a raise, smaller class sizes and more help with special needs
students. But the government is standing its ground. Premier Christy Clark’s son goes to private school and some believe this is why she hasn’t made an agreement, because it doesn’t affect her. Well, being in public school, it does affect me. In my perspective, nether side is being reasonable. The teachers say they’re doing it for the kids but the only thing it’s affecting is the kids’ learning. The government, however, refuses to make an agreement. I may not be in school but I’ve still learned something from the teachers and government in the last few months. I hope that in the next few weeks, the teachers and government will come to an agreement. Until then, I’ll be doing C o s t c o h o m e wo r k books. Nicole Putnam, Port Coquitlam
1-800-blah The Editor, I am curious whether any of your readers have phoned the 1-800- bear report number and had a satisfactory response. The first time we phoned — to report that there had been a bear cub up one of our trees for quite some time — the woman answering chastised us for planting a red oak tree, saying it was our fault we had a bear in our tree. Today, we phoned because of a very serious situation. My husband requires critical home nursing care several times each week. The nurse arrived to find a bear rummaging through our blue box just outside our back porch and, quite understandably, she refused to attempt an entry into our home. When my husband called the bear report line, it was the same old gas — obviously the responsibility for getting rid of the bear is ours, according to the individual who answered the bear report line. What in the world are these people prepared to do to help homeowners who have a serious bear problem? Nothing, it seems. Maggie Fankboner, Coquitlam

BC Silver Alert planned continued from front page
Twelve months later, Sam has given up on the idea that his dad will be found alive and is putting his energies towards finding a solution so other families won’t go through the same ordeal. On Saturday, Sept. 20, the Noh family, along with friends and supporters, will hold a community walk to raise awareness and support for a citizen-run “silver alert” program based on Amber Alert, which gets the word out about abducted children. Currently under development by Coquitlam Search and Rescue manager Michael Coyle for a Sept. 20 launch date, BC Silver Alert will use Lower Mainland police missing person feeds to gather information about the elderly, people with Alzheimer’s, dementia and developmental disabilities who go missing. The information will then be sent out via social media to spread the word. “If it ended up saving lives, that would be great and there’s the potential for that,”Noh said. Coyle, who has been involved in several missing persons cases, said he received encouragement to create the prototype from both Noh and
MICHAEL COYLE a relative by marriage of Joan Warren, the elderly North Vancouver woman who went missing and was found deceased last December. A website, bcsilveralert.ca, has been developed and a Facebook page and Twitter feed, using the hash tag #silveralert, will also be used to fan out details, Coyle said. The program could be expanded in the future, he said, but for now will concentrate on the Lower Mainland, where people may be harder to find because the area is large and dense and the transit network extensive. There are challenges to making sure the program works and Coyle doesn’t want to see it replace a larger government initiative that could potentially cover more area and use better technology to be more effective.
“We’re just syndicating RCMP information,” Coyle explained, noting that with the proper filters, only about four or five silver alerts are likely to be issued in a year. “So it’s not like you’re going to get bothered with a steady stream of alerts.” Noh strongly believes his dad could have been found had such a program been available a year ago. Instead, he and a small army of supporters and volunteers spent months following up on tips that had the elderly man reportedly spotted in communities as far away as New Westminster and Burnaby. Those sightings were never conclusive but, at the time, it was believed that Noh, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, might have taken transit into another community. “It’s always a few days after [when we get reports of sightings] and we are lagging behind right now; we have to expand the radius,” told The TriCity News at the time. Now, as a citizen silver alert is about to be launched, Noh hopes government officials sit up and take notice, and put some resources into education, policies and procedures that could

lead to a provincial program. “We’re trying to make sure this is not the only tool for the silver alert, we don’t want the government to say, ‘Well that’s already being done.’ ”
www.tricitynews.com
WHAT’S HAPPENING
The hike to support the BC Silver Alert, a citizen-driven silver alert program, is around Coquitlam with friends and supporters of the Noh family in recognition of the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Shin Noh. Hike registration takes place at 9 a.m., at Eagle Ridge United Church, 2813 Glen Dr., Coquitlam. The walk begins at 9:45 and will take about one hour. Donations are appreciated but not mandatory. More information about the Walk for Shin is available on Facebook.

Buses and trains among PoMo council’s requests The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody will ask TransLink for better bus service to Glenayre, more frequent West Coast Express trains and an upgraded B-Line for Evergreen Line integration as part of its response to the North East Sector Transit Plan. The plan suggests priorities for transit infrastructure for the next 10 years. If all the changes are implemented, PoMo would see an overall increase in bus service, including new frequent all-day service along G u i l d f o rd b e t we e n Coquitlam Central and Moody Centre Station, and new service to Dewdney Trunk Road. There would also be new service along Moray Street and a switch to quieter community shuttles on Noons Creek Drive. But the plan also suggests discontinuing the 97B Line between Lougheed Town Centre and Coquitlam Centre once the Evergreen Line is operating, changing the 160 route to link Coquitlam Central and Brentwood Town Centre SkyTrain stations (instead of going to downtown Vancouver) and limited discussion on improving WCE service. Councillors Diana Dilworth and Rick Glumac suggested removing a request for TransLink to consult with Klahanie residents on a proposed bus route on Klahanie Drive, saying residents have told them they would rather walk to the existing stop on Murray Street. But Mayor Mike Clay noted more than 1,200 people live in Klahanie and they “might be sur-

Cops take to two wheels to fight cancer By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Five police officers from the Tri-Cities will be among more than 100 who are gearing up to take part in the Cops for Cancer starting next week. Trading their uniforms for Lycra shorts and helmets, the 107 officers and emergency personnel clip in and start thousands of kilometres of pedaling on Sept. 17 in the Tour de Coast. The tour takes them from Coquitlam to Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, Powell River, Whistler, Pemberton and back down through Pitt Meadows, finishing off in Vancouver on Sept. 25. “I’m really looking forward to visiting all the places we’re going on the tour and seeing the communities, the schools and all the people raising money and volunteering their time for a great cause,” said Coquitlam RCMP Aux. Const. Hasib Ahmadi, who will be on his first Cops for Cancer ride. He volunteered for the

“Pretty much anywhere you find a steep hill, you’ll find me there.” Hasib Ahmadi, Coq. RCMP aux. constable, on training for the Cops for Cancer ride trek after being inspired by colleagues participating in the annual event. “And on a personal level, my family and my extended family have been affected by cancer, so I thought what a great way this is to participate and raise awareness,” he said. Already a cyclist, Ahmadi enjoys hitting the road on two wheels to stay in shape and stick to a healthy lifestyle. But since signing up for Cops for Cancer, he has had to step up the training regime, logging up to 70 km each week along David Avenue and up Johnson and Lansdowne streets. “Pretty much any-
where you find a steep hill, you’ll find me there,” Ahmadi joked. It’s tough but Ahmadi knows he has to challenge himself if he’s going to make it to the end of the nearly 1,000-km ride. Ahmadi will be joined by four fellow Tri-City officers: Coquitlam RCMP Const. Michael Murray; Port Moody Police constables Jenn Ohashi and Fraser Renard; and Port Mann RCMP Const. Jenna Oliver. Along the way, the riders will visit businesses and schools to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research and support programs, such as Camp Goodtimes. Cancer is the leading cause of death in children, second only to injury. Many survivors will experience late effects of cancer and cancer treatment. About 130 B.C. children will be diagnosed with cancer — 24 will not survive. • For more information visit www.copsforcancerbc.ca. spayne@tricitynews.com

Sole Girls learn self-worth By Sarah Payne
New from IKEA:
The Tri-CiTy News
A nine-week program designed to get tween girls physically active — and teach them the value of setting and achieving goals while gaining confidence and supporting each other — is kicking off tomorrow in Port Moody. Sole Girls, founded by Ashley Wiles, aims to teach girls aged eight to 12 about self-worth and empowerment in a non-competitive environment. “Our focus is on tweens, the eight- to 12-year-old group, because this is the age where everything changes,” said Wiles, a marathon runner, triathlete and life coach. “Their bodies are changing, their minds are changing... they’re starting to perceive things differently. There are a lot of different triggers at that age.” Since she started Sole Girls just over a year ago in North Vancouver, Wiles said a wide range of girls has participated: those who are dealing with bullies at school, who are experiencing anxiety issues and those who are struggling with body image issues. “We all go through our own thing but the beauty of this program is it brings girls from the community together,” Wiles said, noting that participants often come from different schools so it offers girls a chance to make new friends with like-minded peers. Girls learn not only to treat others with respect, love and compassion but also learn to expect it for themselves, she added. The physical activity part of it — whether the

Do pipelines belong in regional, provincial parks? gREEn scEnE Elaine Golds
TAKE A RIDE
Burke Mountain Naturalists and Forest Ethics Advocacy are co-hosting a “Parks not Pipelines” Rally at Colony Farm Regional Park this Sunday, Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. Because parking is limited and because we would like to limit greenhouse gas emissions, we encourage everyone to join the bike tour that will depart from Gates Park at the western end of Wilson Avenue in Port Coquitlam for a pleasant 20-minute ride to Colony Farm Park along the Traboulay PoCo Trail.
Changes good but elsewhere...
T
his week, the Burke Mountain Naturalists were pleased to learn Kinder Morgan is negotiating with CP Rail regarding the use of a spur line as a construction site instead of using Colony Farm Regional Park. Last March, BMN members were astonished to learn staff at Kinder Morgan viewed the open fields at the park as the perfect“empty” work site for them to assemble, weld and test the portion of their pipeline that would be pulled under the Fraser River. Although this work would be a temporary use, concerns are the wildlife that rely on these fields year-round would be disturbed and truck traffic over the wet soils at Colony Farm would cause compaction and severely affect their agricultural capability. An additional concern was such use of Colony Farm Park, which lies within the Agricultural Land Reserve, is a prohibited activity under ALR poli-
SUBMITTED PHOTO
cies and the land use plan for the park. The Naturalists met with Kinder Morgan staff in April to discuss their concerns in detail. In May, the city of Coquitlam followed up with a letter to the company that respectfully requested it seek an alternative alignment that would not affect the park. To everyone’s relief, it now seems Kinder Morgan staff have taken these community concerns seriously and are pursuing a better option. Still, many people may not be aware Kinder Morgan is proposing their pipeline cross a number of provincial parks and protected areas across B.C. In late August, a consultation period was announced for some of these proposed cross-
a
ings with a deadline for public comments on Oct. 12 (comments can be submitted online at www. transmountain.com/bcparks-application). Sadly, the provincial government does not hold the same high standard on park protection as does the city of Coquitlam. This spring, the provincial government passed Bill 4, the Parks Amendment Act, which now allows industry to conduct tests in parks that are designed to lead to the construction of pipelines, transmission lines and other forms of industrial development within areas once fully protected under the Provincial Parks Act. Kinder Morgan, which conducted such tests last year even prior to the passage of Bill 4, is now
seeking public input on proposals to build the pipeline across three provincial parks (Finn Creek, North Thompson River and BridalVeil Falls) and one protected area. These areas, which are mostly relatively remote from the Lower Mainland, with the exception of BridalVeil Falls, have not attracted the degree of media attention as have the issues of the pipeline work on Burnaby Mountain and at Colony Farm. One complicating factor is that all three provincial parks have been created since the first pipeline was built in 1953/’54. In fact, the existing pipeline goes through all three parks. Both the 303-hectare Finn Creek and 126-hectare North Thompson River parks are located in
a narrow corridor along the North Thompson River, which also supports a busy highway and railway. As such, they provide valuable fragments of habitat for grizzly bear, moose and caribou. Kinder Morgan had proposed options that bypass these parks but apparently favour less costly options to go directly through the parks. Pipeline construction would require the removal of some oldgrowth forests in North Thomson River Park. To my mind, the most egregious proposed pipeline crossing is the 10 km or so corridor through Lac du Bois Protected Area north of Kamloops. It’s deemed a protected area rather than a park because of historic leasing agreements with local ranchers for cattle grazing.This 15,000 hectare area was established in 1966 to protect rare native grasslands, which pro-
vide habitat for almost a third of the species at risk in B.C.These grasslands are a complex ecosystem of prairie bunchgrasses, lichens, mosses, liverworts and cyanobacteria. Truly, it is an oldgrowth ecosystem — only 10 cm tall. But below the soil, it goes much deeper. It consists of a unique and fragile vegetative community called a cryptogamic crust.This crust fertilizes and stabilizes the soil, deters weeds and retains moisture. Once disturbed, it can take decades to re-establish. More often than not, invasive weedy species end up dominating disturbed sites. Thankfully, the existing pipeline avoids Lac du Bois and instead follows the highway close to areas now more developed than they were in the 1950s. Kinder Morgan is proposing to cross Lac du Bois at an estimated cost savings of over $20
million rather than follow the existing pipeline. If there was ever a place to draw a line in the cryptogamic crust, I would say it’s Lac du Bois. Of course, any discussions about proposed pipeline locations ignore the broader issue of why this pipeline is being built in the first place. In a rapidly warming world with increased risks of droughts, flooding, etc., we should have federal policies in place to help wean us from our fossil fuel addictions rather than hastening to increase bitumen exports and the rate of tar sands exploitation. In addition, many people would be far more comfortable if tar sand-derived bitumen were fully refined in Alberta and shipped as a less combustible and less toxic product on railways and pipelines through our neighbourhoods and parks. Sadly, such options are not part of the National Energy Board’s evaluation of Kinder Morgan’s proposal.

Friends of Lee baking & crafting to Light the Night The family and friends of a Coquitlam woman battling non-Hodgkins lymphoma are rallying around her and preparing for the Light the Night Walk next month inVancouver.
Ellisa Sound, known to friends as Lee, was diagnosed in April and the 24-year-old has since undergone six rounds of chemotherapy and is waiting for an assessment to determine
whether the cancer is gone. “Ellisa has been an inspiration to all of us who know her,” said Helen Enair, the mother of a childhood friend of Sound. “She’s remained positive throughout this
entire process. I can say that I have personally learned so much from this young woman and am extremely proud to know her.” Enair and others have created the Light for Lee
team, which will participate in the Oct. 18 walk in Vancouver. They’re hoping to raise $10,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. The group is also host-
ing a Light for Lee craft and bake sale on Sept. 28 at the River Springs recreation centre (1950 Lodge Dr., Coquitlam) from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The Team Lee sale will feature handcrafted jewelry,
candles, picture frames, baked goods and more. There will also be a raffle for gift certificates and other prizes. For more information, visit the Light for Lee team page on Facebook.
NV mental health class Community awareness of mental health issues is part of New View Society’s mandate and, to that end, the long-serving advocacy organization is offering a course to teach people skills so they can assist someone facing a mental health problem or crisis. Mental Health First Aid will help family members, teachers, health care professionals, employers, emergency responders and other groups to support individuals with mental health challenges. This 12-hour certificate course costs $150 per person (early bird rate) and will teach participants how to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health problems. The next available course dates are Oct. 2 and 3. Once the workshop is completed, participants will be able to: • assess the risk of suicide and/or harm; • give reassurance and information; • encourage someone to get appropriate professional help or other supports. The facilitator is Donna Bonertz. Call 604-941-3222, Ext. 110 or email dbonertz@ newviewsociety for more information.
The future is just around the corner. Blazing-fast Internet speed is coming to Port Coquitlam with the TELUS Fibre Optic Network.
Two tree plantings Two sites have been chosen in the TriCities to benefit from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation Tree Days Tree Planting. In Coquitlam at Marguerite Park, 1480 Marguerite St., 300 trees will be planted by volunteers on Sept. 21 to turn an area covered with non-native and invasive plants into a functional urban forest that will benefit the community and increase the area’s carbon sequestration. The following week, on Sept. 28, volunteers will plant more than 140 trees at Easthill Park in Port Moody. In this area, the trees will increase the forest canopy for carbon reduction, create habitat biodiversity and assist in storm water control. Both events start at 9 a.m. To register as a volunteer, visit www. tdtreedays.com.
A TELUS rep will be in touch soon. Meanwhile, call 310-3427 or visit telus.com/portcoquitlam to learn more.

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires. Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed. It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

Poor name but real luxury Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder. To one person it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car accompanied with a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car, letting all to see it that the owner has “made it” establishing a certain status in society. For many it’s a combination of both. Enter the new Kia K900 luxury sedan from Kia. It has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space but this car offers it at a discount. Then the name on the car comes into play. Is the Kia K900 a car anyone aspires to own? Well, after a week-long trip with my family I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet.
Drives-U-Crazy: Gross. There is no other word for something witnessed dozens of time this summer along the Coquihalla Highway and Okanagan Connector: men openly relieving themselves at the side of the road. Are they frightened a bear or snake will get them if they head for the bush? What drives-u-crazy? email: keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
LAST CHANCE ON 2014 MODELS!
by Zack Spencer
Looks: The K900 is an unfortunate name, it begs the question is this a dog? No, it is a full-size car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or S-Class from Mercedes Benz. The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995. The styling is strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American looking chrome multi-spoke wheels.

Bigfoot sparked monster truck madness A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal.

from just outside the shop bay door. It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began. I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. Very nice man, he shared with me some of his frustrations with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people started building their own trucks and soon side-by-side competition began. There were crazy names for these trucks such as;
Kia K900 review... continued from page A28
The rear doors are huge and Kia has done but good job of keeping the proportions of the car in check while grafting Kia’s signature Tiger Nose grille. The rear bumper and lower air diffuser looks especially chunky, almost mimicking the Lexus LS and its integrated exhaust tips. Drive: The V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quite is an understatement, I would
pop a wheelie before crushing them. Two cars became eight and then buses. I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a few adjustments to the rear steering he climbed along and then off. The suspension of that time was more about lift height to accommodate the largest tires rather than full suspension travel which came next. The Baja race trucks could handle large jumps without any trouble, so the monster trucks started the change. Massive coil

What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion.

When I started my career in the off-road and truck accessory business I was a young and impressionable 18 year-old. I was impressed with some of the successful off-road shops in the US but I wondered how they had become so succeeded in business. One that came to mind was Midwest FourWheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned by Bob Chandler, creator of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then large off-road tires for pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels; he mounted them onto his truck. People from all over the states started talking about his truck. He was invited to car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 modifications. A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal. I was looking through one of those magazines and saw a small picture taken
just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the
middle and get out a wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would
over shocks and four-point suspension that could handle the weight and abuse these trucks would dish out. Now the monster trucks could hit the cars at tremendous speed and fly through the air impressing all. Bigfoot #18 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a Monster truck at 214’ 8”. The popularity of these trucks continues to grow to this day and with more advanced technology who knows what the next wave of Monster Trucks will look like? ian.harwood @drivewaybc.ca SE MODEL SHOWN

MX5 sleek, peppy roadster for the people Monterrey, CA – Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have tried to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity. At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K.

Over the years, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds. I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have
stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a
couple of times. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse.
Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan. The reasoning? – Both the
English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider,
and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca

Supplemental Application to Participate in National Energy Board Public Hearing for Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC The National Energy Board (NEB) began a public hearing into Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (Trans Mountain’s) proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (Project) on 2 April 2014. Over 2,000 individuals and groups filed Applications to Participate in the hearing and the Board admitted 1,650 participants. Description of the Project The Project would expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system located between Edmonton, Alberta (AB), and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). It would include approximately 987 km of new pipeline, new and modified facilities, such as pump stations and tanks, and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline. There would also be an expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal. New pipeline segments would be added between Edmonton and Hinton, AB; Hargreaves and Darfield, BC; and Black Pines and Burnaby, BC. Reactivation of existing pipeline segments would occur between Hinton, AB and Hargreaves, BC; and Darfield and Black Pines, BC. The Project application and all related filings can be found on the NEB’s website. Supplemental opportunity to participate in the NEB Hearing Recently, Trans Mountain submitted a new preferred corridor for its delivery lines from Burnaby Terminal to the Westridge Marine Terminal, through Burnaby Mountain. The original Application to Participate Notification posted for the Project did not contemplate this new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Should those who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain wish to participate in the hearing, they must apply to do so. The Project is being assessed under both the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). Under the NEB Act, those who are directly affected will be allowed to participate and those with relevant information or expertise may be allowed to participate. In addition, if the Board is of the opinion that an applicant has relevant information or expertise about the environmental assessment under the CEAA 2012, then they will be allowed to participate. While the Application to Participate form allows applicants to indicate their preferred method of participation, the Board will decide how best to hear from each approved participant on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must clearly describe their interest in relation to the List of Issues for the hearing (included in the Application to Participate form) and how they are directly affected by, or have relevant information related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Existing participants need not apply again. Commenters may comment on, and intervenors may ask questions/file evidence/present argument on, any component of the Project, including the Burnaby Mountain section. The Application to Participate is on the NEB’s website at: www.neb-one.gc.ca under Major Applications and Projects, select Trans Mountain Expansion This supplemental Application to Participate process will be open from 8 September 2014 to 24 September 2014. Individuals and groups applying to participate must provide enough information for the NEB to decide whether participant status should be granted. Applications will only be considered from individuals and groups who are directly affected by, or have relevant information and expertise related to, the new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain. Contacts Information on NEB hearing processes and participant funding is available at www.neb-one.gc.ca/TransMountainExpansion. If you require additional information, the NEB has a dedicated Project-specific Process Advisor Team to provide assistance.

Buyers looking beyond home features when purchasing By Kerry Vital
The decision on where to purchase a new home goes beyond the features of the homes themselves. Beautiful countertops or elegant flooring go a long way, but there are a few other features that buyers are increasingly looking for. Those features include an amazing amenities space. “In the past, we saw amenities spaces tucked away within
buildings, which were small and uninspired compared to what is available today,” says Cressey Development Group’s Hani Lammam. “Amenities are becoming central to a building’s design.” Among the popular amenities in new home construction are a full-size gym, a yoga studio, gardens, a music room and large communal entertaining spaces. “We’re noticing that distinct architectural styles appeal to the
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
homebuyer, such as multi-level and indoor-outdoor amenity spaces,” Lammam says. “Specifically, we’ve seen buyers wanting amenities that they will really use and which will add to their quality of living.” To capitalize on this, Cressey has included beautiful amenities in several of their recent projects. Richmond’s Cadence features a rooftop garden and glass “Jewel Box” pavilion that holds an entertaining lounge and kitchen. Maddox in downtown Vancouver includes a full-size indoor gym as well as a podium entertaining space linked to the main building. Concord Pacific is also integrating amazing amenities in their new projects. For example, Park Avenue in Surrey’s City Centre has a tennis court, putting green, theatre, fully landscaped sky gardens and many more. Their Richmond master-planned community of Concord Gardens has a banquet hall, grand ballroom, lantern pavilion and several other stunning features.

The Summit Residences by Domae Homes is perfectly situated in Chilliwack to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer, including tons of outdoor recreation opportunities. The spacious homes are available in a variety of open-plan layouts, allowing homeowners to personalize their home.
Ascending to the peak at The Summit Residences By Kerry Vital
Domae Homes has long been known for high-quality homes that they themselves would want to live in. With the Summit Residences, that’s actually the case for partner Kevin Chester, who lives in the community
himself and enjoys being able to say hello to the people who have purchased a home there. “We build homes that we care about,” he says. “These are not just houses; they’re homes that people want to spend time in.” Located in the Promontory Heights community in Chilliwack, The Summit
Residences are worthy of their name. With stunning views of the surrounding valley and mountains, the neighbourhood is a naturelovers dream. Thom Creek Park is nearby, as well as trails, golf courses, lakes and other recreation opportunities. “These views are to-die-for,” Chester says. There are controlled and registered building design guidelines in place to keep that view for the homeowners at the Summit Residences, which is especially important to those buyers who put a beautiful view on the top of their list of must-haves.
The 52 single-family homes on the 12-acre site are available in a range of floorplans, including two new layouts that range in size from 2,116 to 2,324 square feet plus an unfinished basement. Curb appeal is not in short supply at The Summit Residences, with their Craftsman architecture, distinctive exposed aggregate or stamped driveways and spacious outdoor decks, patios and landscaped yards. Each home has a double-car attached garage. “No two homes are the same,” Chester says. “We want buyers to get exactly what they want, so there is quite a variety of options.” Spacious open-concept floorplans are perfect for entertaining, and homeowners can choose between two professionally selected colour schemes. Large windows maximize the view and let natural light fill the space. Hardwood laminate flooring throughout the main level is complemented by luxurious trackless carpeting in the bedrooms. A cozy stone-faced gas fireplace adds a touch of contemporary elegance to the living room. The gourmet kitchens include hardwood cabinetry, classic granite countertops and a hand-set tiled backsplash. A granite-topped island adds to the overall counter space and serves as a gathering place. A spacious pantry is another masterstroke of convenience. The ensuite is spa-like and relaxing, with a deluxe soaker tub, frameless glass shower and floating under-lit hardwood cabinet. Homes start at $450,000. For more information, visit www.summitresidences.ca, call 604-824-6473 or stop by the sales centre at 47150 MacFarlane Place, Chilliwack, open 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Thursday and Friday.

Electricity
Before buying compare space & water heating costs When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money. Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.

Panthers set for a new PJHL season home opener set for saturday By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Centennial gets ready for Seaquam, Ravens take on Mission in road game The Tri-CiTy News
The Centennial Centaurs AAA football team will look to end its exhibition season on a high note when the club takes on Seaquam secondary this weekend. Cents coach Barry Taitinger told The Tr i - C i t y N e w s o n Wednesday that this week’s opponent, who will be visiting Percy Perry Stadium tonight (Friday, Sept.12), will be
a good opportunity to acquire some much needed experience before all the high school teams start their regular season schedule next week. “Seaquam has a good program,” he said. “They went down to the U.S. this year and played a game… We are using these exhibition games to focus on what we need to do to play better.” Taitinger has watched Seaquam’s game from last week, when the club was beaten 31-0 by a
powerhouse South Delta squad. He said it was difficult to scout Seaquam’s defence because Delta runs a different offence from the Centaurs. “They run two back sets, which we don’t do,” he said. The Centaurs also struggled offensively in its first exhibition game of the year last week against the New Westminster Hyacks. New West took a fivepoint lead after the first series of the game, how-

ever Centennial was able to take the lead when Matthew Danieli intercepted a pass at the 40yard line and ran in a 60yard touchdown. But a blocked punt late in the third quarter gave the Hyacks an opportunity to retake the lead and New West ended up winning the game 11-6.

The Terry Fox Ravens are scheduled to take on Mission secondary

this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. This will be the first time the Ravens have have suited up for exhibition play this season, after a game against an American school was cancelled in early September.

The Coquitlam Eagles field hockey club defeated the Vancouver Maralomas 2-0 on the west field at Town Centre Park on Sunday.
The exhibition season is over and now it is time to start playing for keeps. Th e Po r t M o o dy Panthers will begin their quest for the Pacific Junior Hockey League’s Cyclone Taylor Cup tomorrow, when the club hosts the Ridge Meadows Flames in the season home-opener at the Port Moody Arena. And while the Cats’ may be a young squad, general manager Frank Iantorno told The TriCity News that he is optimistic about his team’s chances this year. “I have been very impressed with this team,”he said. “This is a team that we are going to see improve week after week.” This year’s edition of the Panthers is a speedy group with a strong work ethic, said Iantorno, who added that he was
surprised at how quickly the newcomers and the vets bonded. The club will still rely on old faces like newly minted captain Daniel Delbianco and assistant captains Daniel Obscena and James Jerczynski. Sammy Zeinab, another returning forward, is also expected to play a prominent role for the club along with Reece Bartel, who will add some depth on the back end. But there will be some new faces in the lineup that Iantorno expects will have a big impact on the team this year, although he said he was hesitant to single out any specific names. “We have a lot of big players coming from a hockey academy that is run by the Burnaby Wi n t e r C l u b a n d Burnaby Central school,” he said. “Those young men have come ready to play and this will be a terrific way for them to enter the program.”

Kan takes on ice talent to Coquitlam skate club
tri-city newS file photo
The Port Moody Panthers are gearing up for the season home opener this Saturday at the Port Moody Arena against the Ridge Meadows Flames. The puck drops at 7:45 p.m.
The Coquitlam Skating Club has a new member for the upcoming season who is already making his presence known on the international stage. Alexander Kan, who is originally from Richmond Hill, Ont., but recently moved to the TriCities, was the 2013 Ju n i o r C a n a d i a n Champion. He strugg l e d at t h e 2 0 1 4 Senior Canadian championship, but finished in sixth place
last month when he competed in the 2014 Junior Grand Prix in Ljublijana, Slovenia. He had been in t h i rd p l a c e a f t e r Thursday’s short program but dropped to sixth with the 10th best free skate at 162.52. Kan, who is coached by Heather Austman, is expected to represent his club at the seventh Junior Grand Prix event in Zagreb, Croatia, next month. Another Tri-City
skater and Coquitlam Skating Club member had a strong showing at last month’s ISU Junior Grand Prix. B r i a n n a Delmaestro of Port M o o dy t o o k s e c ond place along with Timothy Lum of Burnaby in the short dance program with a 49.14, just missing first place, which was won by Daria Morozova and Mikhail Zhirnov of Russia, who had a 49.8. sports@tricitynews.com
Jr. A cuts are Panthers’ gain FITNESS FOR BODY & MIND continued from page 46
Iantorno added that while the roster is fairly firmed up, he expects some changes will be made in the early parts of the season. As junior ‘A’ clubs start to make more cuts, there will be more players looking for teams, which the general manager believes could bolster the lineup. “We hope they stay up there,” he said. “That is our purpose to develop. But there are only so many spots at those higher levels so we are waiting with open arms to see how it goes.” Th e Po r t M o o dy Panthers had a fairly up-and-down exhibition portion of their season. They blew the doors off of the Delta Ice Hawks with an 8-1 win in the opening game, but lost to the Grandview Steelers 5-1 in another home exhibition outing.
The Cats rounded out the pre-season schedule with another 3-1 win over Delta at the Sungod Arena, before tying Mission last Saturday in the second road game of the season. Port Moody has also made some changes off the ice over the last year. The club dropped the Black Panthers name in favour of the Panthers and has revamped its website and marketing strategy. Brian Wiebe, the team’s director of media and communications, said some of the changes are starting to pay off in the stands. While he was quick to note that the club is a development team and that making a profit was not a priority, more fans and local businesses have started to take notice. “ We h ave r e a l l y started to notice it,” he said. “We have had a really good reaction from

the community and businesses around the Ioco Road area. We want to expand that even more.” Wiebe said the team is hoping to pack the Port Moody Arena for
Saturday’s home opener against the rival Ridge Meadows Flames. The puck will drop at 7:45 p.m. For more information go to www.portmoodypanthers.com.
