A Coquitlam granny puts that [bleep] on everything: page 12
School’s likely in Monday Entry for kindergarten students may vary from school to school By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Does this bear know summer’s almost over? Coquitlam resident Colin Clasen shared this wonderful, unique photo of a blissed-out bear in the waning days of summer. Here’s how he tells the tale of the photo, which he took with a telephoto lens: “This is an unusual pose of a black bear beside a blueberry field on the north side of Deboville Slough. It was taken two days ago, on Sunday, September 14th. I had been standing on the dike trail with my friend Barb Coble, photographing this bear in the blueberry field for about 15 minutes. It was close to noon and getting quite hot. The bear then squeezed under the barbwire fence, to cool off in the adjacent grass- and water-filled ditch. For about 10 minutes, it just sat upright, completely still, facing into the sun with its eyes closed, seemingly in bliss and totally oblivious to the rest of the world. Neither one of us had ever seen a bear in a pose like this before. After that, it went back into the blueberry field and disappeared.”
As parents and students waited to see how B.C.’s public school teachers voted on a tentative deal to end their strike yesterday, School District 43 is offering kindergarten families some details on what they may be able to expect next week. Superintendent Tom Grant said if teachers ratified the deal on Thursday (the results won’t be known until after The Tri-City News’ print deadline but watch tricitynews.com for details) schools will be open Monday. “If it’s ratified, we will have to figure out with the teachers’ [union] local how to get schools ready [Friday],” Grant
SLOW DOWN With kids expected to go back to school on Monday, school zone speed limits will be in effect, so watch your speed and watch for children near local schools. said. “We’ve got hundreds of teachers changing schools and classrooms that haven’t been set up.” Parents can expect Monday to be a partial day for registering, getting attendance and sorting out classrooms — like the usual first day of school ‚ followed by a full day of classes Tuesday. see GRANT, page 3

Grant not sure what deal means here continued from front page
Kindergarten families, however, will need to check in with their school for details on the gradual entry program. “We will probably be looking at a modified gradual entry that will be personalized for each community, and that allows for scheduled, valuable communication with parents for a day or two,” Grant said. “However in some communities, kids are ready for full-time or parents have used up their holidays, so we as principals are there to serve the parents and work around the notion of a modified gradual entry.” Grant said parents should check their school’s website for the latest details or get further information at the school on the first day back. (You can find individual schools’ websites through sd43.bc.ca.) The BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government reached a tentative deal early Tuesday morning, with the BCTF recommending its members vote “yes” on Thursday. The deal includes wage increases and a $400-million education fund to hire new teachers but Grant said it’s too early to say what that would mean for SD43 if the deal is approved. “We haven’t seen it yet so we will get briefings over the next week as to... how many teachers it will mean,” he said. “It

an end to the strike is likely in sight. “Reason has prevailed,” he said in an email. “There can be hope for a more co-operative, empathetic rela-
tionship going forward.” Although the organization is pleased to see the Education Fund dedicated to improving class size and composition issues with new teach-
ers, there is still concern among parents that not enough is being done to support children with special needs. “They are comforted that the tentative agreement has a
provision to reopen discussions once the court case is settled,” Denison said, “however, that may still be a long wait.” Denison added that it’s now time to focus atten-
tion back on broader issues of education underfunding, particularly in Coquitlam school district, which has been battling deficits the last two years. spayne@tricitynews.com
PoMo biz teams up for shop local campaign Loyal shoppers to be rewarded with biz promotion By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Are you a super local shopper? If so, a group of independent Port Moody businesses wants to reward you with discounts under a new “Proudly Local”campaign. Shoppers taking part in the promotion can collect stamp cards from participating businesses and, once filled, be able to cash in with a 5% discount at those shops for the rest of the year. “We’re trying to get people to identify the local businesses in their community and hopefully go to a few of them and get rewarded for shopping there,” said Lisa Beecroft, who with her husband Patrick owns three Caffe Divano locations, one each in Port Moody, Coquitlam and Burnaby. The inspiration for the Proudly Local campaign
came after Beecroft attended a Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce event last spring. Geared toward PoMo businesses, the seminar showed business owners how a 10% shift in spending to locally owned shops can benefit both businesses and PoMo residents. “There are incredible benefits that come from shopping locally,” Beecroft said. “We just needed to band together to get the message out because Port Moody is such a vibrant, unique community with independent businesses. But with the cost of rent going up, it’s getting harder and harder to survive.” Beecroft, along with Port Moody Flowers owner Celia Chiang, S o k o Te a H o u s e ’ s Julie Veres and Yvette Cuthbert of Rocky Point Ice Cream, started building on a “shop local” idea spotted on Facebook and “that’s where we came up with the Super Local Shopper campaign,” Beecroft said. In the past six months, the group has signed up
25 businesses throughout the city, ranging from coffee and tea shops to kitchenware, meditation, fitness, seafood and bicycle businesses, hair salons and more. Shoppers get a stamp on their card for each $25 they spend at the participating businesses; once they’ve collected 10 stamps, they become Super Local Shoppers who can then get discounts at those shops. Each business calculates the discount differently, either on the entire purchase or on particular items. Beecroft said businesses will run the campaign through to the end of the year, giving shoppers ample opportunity to take advantage of the discounts for their Christmas shopping, and then contact member businesses in the New Year to see how effective the program was. • For more information and to see the full list of participating businesses, visit shoplocalportmoody.ca. spayne@tricitynews.com

2 of B.C.’s first enterovirus cases are in Fraser region By Jeff Nagel
IN QUOTES
black Press
“It’s in the community and it’s not yet associated with outbreaks. But this may be an early warning signal to us that what’s happening elsewhere may be upon us here in B.C.”
Three B.C. residents are the province’s first lab-confirmed cases of a virus causing severe respiratory illness in children elsewhere in North America. Two of the B.C. cases of enterovirus D68 are children from the Fraser Health region, while the third is a young adult male from the Interior. Both Fraser cases were treated in Vancouver and have since been discharged from hospital. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, said there are at least three more suspected cases and it’s likely numerous others have been exposed to the virus or may have felt only minor symptoms. So far, B.C. hospitals haven’t seen the sharp spike in respiratory illness that could be tied to the virus, which has stricken more than 130 children in a dozen U.S. states and at least 18 in Alberta. All indicators have been within seasonal levels, she said. “We know it’s in the
Dr. Danuta Skowronski, BCCDC community and it’s not yet associated with outbreaks,” she said. “But this may be an early warning signal to us that what’s happening elsewhere may be upon us here in B.C.” Enterovirus activity is seasonal — it peaks in summer and fall — so she said there’s a chance it could soon dissipate here. Telltale symptoms of enterovirus D68 are wheezing or difficulty breathing deep in the lungs and children with past respiratory trouble, such as asthma, are believed at greater risk. Most victims don’t have a fever, Skowronski said, adding absence of one shouldn’t be taken by parents as a sign not to worry. While most U.S. cases have involved very young pre-schoolers,
B.C.’s first three cases are older, ranging from nine to 19 years of age. Skowronski said the virus is not new — there have been outbreaks of it before — and variants circulate each year. “We shouldn’t freak out,” she said, noting there have been no deaths and all patients are expected to recover. But nor should it be dismissed, she added, because it’s causing severe illness, particularly in children, who sometimes require hospitalization and intensive care. “This may be a particularly nasty variant circulating,”she said. There’s no vaccine or specific treatment for enterovirus D68, leaving public health officials to stress the usual ways to prevent the spread of viruses — frequent hand
washing, coughing into the elbow and staying home if sick with a suspected respiratory infection. Regular cleaning of surfaces at home and in schools can also help limit the spread, said Fraser Health medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti. She noted the end of the B.C. teachers strike may be a factor in the days ahead. “Kids are going back to school now so there might be more exposure or passing of the illness,”she said. “That’s a time when more germs are spread around.” Staff at Fraser facilities have been advised to be on alert to the virus and particularly to worsening conditions in children with a history of asthma, Murti said.

Coquitlam, what do you want in parks & rec? By Janis Warren
Free activities Saturday
The Tri-CiTy News
Wa l k i n g t h e d o g through Mundy Park. Learning about history at Mackin House Museum. Riding the waves at the City Centre Aquatic Complex. Coquitlam has a lot to offer through parks and recreation but it won’t be enough as the city’s population doubles over the next 15 years. Across Coquitlam tomorrow (Saturday), afternoon residents will talk to city staff and take surveys to guide the city’s new parks, recreation and cultural vision — as well as try out some free activities (see sidebar) — at five civic centres: • Centennial Activity Centre (570 Poirier St.); • Glen Pine Pavilion (1200 Glen Pine Crt.); • Victoria Community Hall (3435 Victoria Dr.); • Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St.); • Town Centre Park Plaza. Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks and rec, said Coquitlam hasn’t revised its parks and recreation master plan for 16 years — and many needs and wants

According to the draft parks master plan that council adopted in June, Coquitlam is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Canada, with pressures felt especially in the City Centre and Burquitlam areas due to the coming of the Evergreen Line, as well as on Burke Mountain and in Austin Heights and Maillardville. E a c h n e i g h b o u rhood has different demographics and, thus, different priorities for parks and rec services. For example, Burquitlam has the city’s highest number of renters and single-parent families while the largely undeveloped Burke Mountain is experiencing growing pains as it swells to 20,000 more residents
over the next 15 years; it will require basic parks and recreation amenities such as a community centre with a pool, walking trails and a library. Allueva said the city’s biggest challenge is to keep up with the pace of growth and, as a result, “There are going to be some difficult decisions,” he told council in June, noting “hundreds of millions of dollars” will have to be spent in the city’s largest department. Attendance at festivals and events are on the rise, he said. At this year’s Canada Day celebrations, which cost the city $107,000, more than 30,000 people showed up at Town Centre Park to watch the entertainment and fireworks. The city is also gearing up for its 125th birthday celebra-

Gas tax pays for upgrades Vancity By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam residents will soon see upgrades at three parks, 20 intersections and 25 bus stops — and they won’t be on the hook for any of it. This week, council approved the $410,000 bill for five capital projects to be funded by federal gas taxes. In July, the Union of BC Municipalities inked a deal with the federal government that would allow it to share 5% of federal gas tax revenues with other
Lower Mainland cities (the other 95% goes to TransLink for regional transportation). As a result of the Community Works Fund Agreement, Coquitlam will get $4 million over the next decade. Council on Monday approved the most pressing infrastructure items as recommended by city managers, an urgent one being a $100,000 retrofit of the Blue Mountain spray park — a cost that took many councillors by surprise given it will be a temporary fix. The decision to spend
the cash came after the provincial health ministry recently ordered the city to update the asphalt surface by next year or close the spray deck because of ongoing cracking from tree roots. Council’s move goes against the city’s Aquatic Infrastructure and Services Strategy, adopted in January 2013, that calls for a new spray deck to be built at the site of the Blue Mountain wading pool (that strategy is to be revised this fall by a consultant, at a cost of $40,000, with a report due in January).
Meanwhile, council allowed another $100,000 in federal gas tax funds to be spent on the 30-year-old playground at Alouette Park in Riverview Heights as half of its amenities have been taken out because of age. As well, $90,000 will be put toward LED street signs at 20 intersections while $50,000 of the gas tax will be spent to make 25 more bus stops or intersections wheelchairaccessible. Currently, more than half of the city’s 537 bus stops are universal. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Aging population is one factor in parks planning continued from page 7
As well, the city also has to tailor its new master parks plan to the rising multicultural population especially from China and India, Allueva said. In Coquitlam, 68% of the residents speak English at home compared with an average of 80% in many other Canadian municipalities. Further, the city needs to look at changing demographics over the next 15 years as there are more seniors in B.C. than children under the age of 14 (currently in Coquitlam, more than
half of households have kids living at home). Coun. Craig Hodge, who chairs Coquitlam’s Sports Council, said to pay for new parks and rec programs and services, the city has to find partnerships such as those School District 43, which already shares facilities with the city. Coquitlam already has agreements in place with Planet Ice, the YMCA and the People’s Court (tennis), to name a few, to enhance the city’s rec programs. Senior government grants, development cost charges (for parkland acquisition)
and the new Community Amenities Contribution Fund (from new development) are other funding tools for the city. “We have to be cognizant of taxpayers’ dollars,”Hodge said. Still, sports aren’t the only focus of the city’s new parks and rec master plan, the update for which has been budgeted at $150,000 — arts, culture and heritage are important, too. According to a recent study, between 1992 and 2010 in B.C., museum attendance rose by 17%, art gallery visits by 48% and artistic perfor-
mances by 76%. Allueva said the city will launch an arts and culture strategic plan — budgeted by council last December at $100,000 — in conjunction with the new parks master plan. • Coquitlam residents unable to go to the open house Saturday can give feedback by the Oct. 31 input deadline by visiting coquitlam.ca/prcmasterplan or emailing prcmasterplan@coquitlam. ca. An additional open house will be held on Thursday, Sept. 25, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Victoria Community Hall.

t’s very good news that the BC Teachers’ Federation and the province have come to a contract agreement. If teachers voted to ratify it on Thursday (results were expected after The Tri-City News’ print deadline), students will be back in school by Monday. Credit for the settlement rests primarily with veteran mediator Vince Ready, who was able to get two very entrenched sides to bend enough that they could come to an agreement. The BCTF and employers also deserve credit for finally getting down to brass tacks after far too many false starts in the past several months. The agreement will not, however, resolve the court cases over the 2002 contract stripping by the BC Liberal government, which was the underlying issue which kept the two sides far apart. That matter will go to the B.C. Court of Appeal next month, after two B.C. Supreme Court judgments that went against the province. Hopefully, that matter will be settled sooner rather than later. But given the pace of court proceedings and the likelihood that the next decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, a final resolution on class size and composition in B.C. schools is still years away. — The Langley Times (Black Press)

Big money and a pedal-to-the-metal LNG project AS I SEE IT Dermod Travis

magine:You’ve just come off a surprise election victory after promising voters a $100-billion “Prosperity Fund”courtesy of royalties and taxes from an industry that doesn’t yet exist in B.C. and based on tax rates that still haven’t been set. The next election is in 2017.You suspect that voters might want to see a little something for all the hype before then, so what to do? Well, take one of the proposed projects and slam the pedal-to-the-metal. By all accounts that project is the proposed Woodfibre LNG plant in Squamish. First, step in the sprint to the finish line: Demonstrate your commitment to the industry by clearing the path of anything that proponents might see as needless red tape. Streamline provincial environmental assessments by bringing about an agreement between B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office and the province’s Oil and Gas Commission to reduce duplication between the two offices for LNG projects and
shorten assessment timelines. Next, bump the feds out of the picture by requesting a substitution of the B.C. environmental process on the Woodfibre project over the possibility of a second federal assessment as well. Then minimize the chance for any substantive public input on that request by seeking it over the Christmas holidays. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency issued its announcement regarding B.C.’s application on Dec. 17, 2013. The public was given until Jan. 6 to comment. Big surprise, the feds acquiesced to B.C.’s request two months later. But why Woodfibre? Well, they were fast off the mark. Back in January 2013, when the LNG industry was just a glimmer in the eyes of the B.C. government, Woodfibre LNG Ltd. signed a purchase agreement with Western Forest Products to acquire its Woodfibre site at an estimated price of $17 million. As might be expected of any company in the forestry industry, Western Forest Products is a faithful contributor to the BC Liberals. Since 2005, it has donated $289,070 to the party. Never gigantic contributions at any one time — most years their tithe was less than $20,000 — except

for four of those years. In 2005, an election year, it doubled up and gave $43,990. In 2011, it gave $49,000 but that included four one-time cheques of $5,000 each to the leadership campaigns of Christy Clark, Kevin Falcon, George Abbott and Mike de Jong. And in 2012, it gave $28,100. But 2013 must have been a very good year because it opened the vault to fork over $108,000 to the BC Liberals. That’s more than the company gave in the six years from 2005 to 2010. And $90,000 of it was donated in May, including $2,000 to Mary Polak’s constituency association mere days before she was sworn in as B.C.’s environment minister. Coincidentally — as a condition of the sale to Woodfibre LNG — Western Forest Products needs to remediate the site and obtain a certificate of compliance from B.C.’s environment ministry. No certificate and the estimated $17 million sale risks falling apart. And therein lies the problem. With all the other full-steam-ahead decisions that have been made on the file, there will be some who may suspect — no matter how hard the government protests otherwise — that the donations from Western Forest Products were not
coincidental, particularly when its largesse is so tilted towards the governing party and only shifts with the polls. From 2012 to 2013, Western Forest Products gave $24,300 to the NDP. While mines minister Bill Bennett has argued that“it’s really insulting for anybody to suggest that because we take donations from a group of corporations like the mining industry that we’re going to cut them a break,”others will beg to differ. In an August column in The Tyee (headline: “Think political donations are benign?”), former Victoria Times Colonist editorial writer Paul Willcocks notes that“research has found 90% of Canadians think people with money have a lot of influence over government.” Instead of its pedal-to-the-metal approach on Woodfibre, perhaps the government should have heeded the advice of Selina Lee-Andersen, a lawyer at McCarthy Tetrault, who last November wrote:“Given the myriad issues involved in getting an LNG project off the ground, the race to export LNG will need to be run as more of a marathon than a sprint to the finish line.” Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC (www.integritybc.ca).

Keep bears & our community safe The Editor, Well, here we are at the end of hot summer and knocking on autumn’s door. Just as seasons come and go for people, so do seasons change for bears. At this time of the year, a bear’s biology tells it winter is coming and to prepare for denning. One of a bear’s strongest urges is to fatten up for the coming winter — and that means a search for food for up to 20 hours a day. While natural food is still available, the quick, easy meal that bears love to seek out can be in your waste receptacles in your yard. Please take the extra few minutes to secure that bin in a shed or garage, or with the wildlife locks if you have them installed. A good practice is to freeze perishable and

PM design & debate The Editor, Re. “Clay & Royer to face off in PoMo” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 5). It will be interesting to hear some new ideas from Port Moody council candidates in the upcoming election, and especially when results from the April 2014 Ipsos Reid survey indicate such strong satisfaction and support from residents. Let’s hope a general sense of well-being doesn’t cause voter apathy. There was a healthy debate about growth and development during the long official community plan process. In the end, several questions such as, square footage, density limits on strategic sites along the Evergreen Line, and elsewhere, were wisely deferred for future review. That future is now, so let’s not let the grass grow under our feet. As I previously suggested at a Land Use Committee meeting, a committee with area representatives should be appointed to consider, for example, the mill waterfront property, Coronation Park and Ioco, well ahead of our next OCP, due in 2019. This committee could also look at floor area ratios, heights, lot coverage, set-backs, etc. to better control the larger (mega or monster) homes, which are now even starting to appear in Glenayre. In the late spring, I counted 20 new (since 2007) larger homes just in Moody Centre, with only three built in what I subjectively consider an appropriate design for their surroundings. If, size, siting and building height calculations had been properly dealt with in the zoning review promised in 2007 at the design charrette, a great deal of this controversy could have been prevented.

Retired nurse is newest granny for Frank’s hot sauce By Sarah Payne The TRi-CiTy News
An 85-year-old Coquitlam widow who is a retired nurse and longtime food bank volunteer has unexpectedly embarked on a new career: acting. Hot sauce lovers will recognize Joan Sanderson as the new “granny”in the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce commercials — you know, the one who says,“I put that [bleep] on everything!” A friend who noticed the casting call on a talent agent’s Facebook page suggested she try out, so Sanderson hopped on a bus to Vancouver — although she soon balked at saying the famous line out loud. Still, the role practically landed in Sanderson’s lap as she quickly shone through the more than 50 grannies who auditioned for the part. “I didn’t know what to expect,”Sanderson said during a break in filling hampers at the Share food bank in Port Moody. “They asked me to say that word, which I don’t like in the first place. There was a script but they kept changing it.” Her spunky energy and cheeky grin caught the director’s eye, however, and just 12 hours after Sanderson learned she’d bagged the role, she was flying standby to Mexico City for two days of whirlwind wardrobe fittings and shooting. The mood was both hectic and intense. “The last iconic grandmother in advertising is the [Wendy’s] ‘Where’s the beef?’ lady,”said Pamela Wise, Sanderson’s agent. “There were a lot of people chiming in to decide on Joan.” Sanderson, who has three daughters, two sons and 15 grandchildren, filmed two commercials in just over two days in Mexico, both of which pitted the petite grandmother against burly men in a bodybuilding gym and at a fire hall. She schools the TV tough guys on their wimpy hot sauce application, commanding them to pile it on, ending with the iconic“I put that [bleep] on everything!” line. It was tough work but Sanderson said she was “chortling through it all” and continues to enjoy her newfound notoriety. “My grandkids keep sending me pictures of

At a launch party at her church, St. Laurence Anglican in Coquitlam, Sanderson was also asked to add her signature to several bottles to give away as prizes. Wise marvels at Sanderson’s energy and enthusiasm, saying her client is always up for anything. “She’s always in the call-back zone,”she said. “She hops on multiple buses, SkyTrains... it’s really snowballed. She now has a permanent spot on my roster.” In fact, just last week, Sanderson was going to a call-back for a commercial for a well-known sports apparel brand in which she would be among a group of elite athletes at a gym. “These days, casting directors are looking outside their rosters for real people,”Wise said, noting that Sanderson’s easygoing humour makes her a natural in front of the camera. And Sanderson takes it all in stride like a seasoned pro, saying,“You’re never too old to start a new career.” spayne@tricitynews.com

Soaring civic pay criticized in review Come to our
Divided cities need unified defence against unions: report By Jeff Nagel Black Press
A review of municipal pay levels ordered by the province recommends the government act to help rein in rapidly escalating wages among unionized civic workers and some administrators. The report by consultants Ernst & Young, released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, was conducted as part of the province’s core review launched last year. It found unionized municipal workers received pay hikes totalling 38% from 2001 to 2012 — twice as much as the 19% in raises for unionized provincial government staff. Inflation over the same period was 23%. The report also notes several larger B.C. cities pay their chief administrators close to the $230,000 in pay and bonuses earned in 2011 by the average provincial government deputy minister, while that’s exceeded by city managers in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge, as well as Metro Vancouver’s chief administrator. The review didn’t consider or offer an opinion on whether city managers deserve the same pay as provincial deputy ministers but said that should be investigated. Provincial compensation restraint policies that began in 2008 with that year’s recession should be reviewed and updated to potentially serve as a broader philosophy extending across the public sector to municipalities, the review recommended, stating: “The government should do what is necessary to bring municipal government compensation into alignment over time, including financial levers if necessary.” The report also sug-
gested the province may find it harder to retain its own managers if cities pay. Unlike limits on management pay imposed across the provincial government, local government compensation isn’t co-ordinated or regulated, the report said, and there’s no limit on what cities can decide to pay. Collective bargaining by cities is generally “highly fragmented and inefficient,” the report observed, allowing unions to exploit their divisions. “Unions can focus efforts on municipalities where outcomes
are more likely to be favourable and use the resulting agreements to ratchet up increases in other municipalities.” Metro Vancouver’s largest cities pulled out of the regional district’s joint bargaining arrangement in 2012 in favour of more local flexibility in negotiations. “Without a coordinated response to organized labour, there is a real risk that unions can divide and conquer,” the report said. The leak of the report to the CTF comes as municipal leaders prepare to gather in Whistler next week for the Union
of BC Municipalities convention, where the province usually faces a barrage of funding requests. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province has reached out to the cities via UBCM to explore practical tools and models that can help the entire public service deliver similar services at similar costs. “We know many local governments are looking carefully at revenues and ideas for new revenue streams,” de Jong said. “They need to be looking equally closely at their expenditures.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

Delayed municipal audits are under fire Findings withheld during election campaign By Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C.’s Auditor General for Local Government is behind schedule in probing several municipalities and won’t table their audits until early 2015, well after the November municipal elections. Basia Ruta had set an original target of this past spring to complete audits on either operational procurement or policing budget and contract oversight for 18 municipalities, including Delta, Vernon, West Vancouver, Surrey, Vi c t o r i a a n d N e w Westminster. Just two reports have
been finished — one focusing on an untendered contract in Rossland and the other on general municipal procurement. Ruta said the work is taking longer than anticipated and it would be inappropriate to release

in an election when they can act upon it in an expeditious manner?” Bateman said he’s disappointed with the delays and said it appears Ruta’s two-yearold Surrey office bit off more than it could chew
in terms of the number of audits pursued. Ruta said many outstanding audits are still awaiting comment from local municipalities before they can be finalized. She said she also
wanted a range of municipalities of different size and representing different regions analyzed in parallel to ease comparisons between them and to improve the overall results. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Graffiti audit seen as tool against PoCo vandalism By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s Community Police Station will have a new tool in its battle against graffiti. Volunteers at the station have produced a graffiti audit, a document it will use to identify trouble spots in order to better concentrate anti-vandalism efforts.
“It is a starting point,” said Jodie McNeice, manager of PoCo’s Community Police Station. “It is a really great tool to identify what tags we do have and what areas to focus on.” The audit will be put together annually, giving volunteers the opportunity to see where their efforts have been most effective. For example, McNeice said that had the audit
been conducted last year, it is likely the Birchland neighbourhood would have had a significantly higher number of incidents than the 10 shown in the 2014 report. A concerted effort has been made in that area in order to bring down the amount of vandalism, she said, but until now volunteers had no way of quantifying their results. One area that will
likely be targeted is the Minnekhada neighbourhood around Hyde Creek, where more than 300 graffiti incidents have been reported since the beginning of the year. But as McNeice notes, volunteer efforts are already showing signs of alleviating vandalism in that neighbourhood. The audit shows that the area had a high of 128 incidents in
January and has dropped almost every month, down to seven incidents in August. Downtown is another hot spot, with a total of 228 incidents since January. The highest month for that neighbourhood was March, which had 107 incidents, while July, January and February had none. Graffiti is far from rampant in Port Coquitlam,
Volunteer in the fight for life.
McNeice said, but it often leads to more graffiti and volunteers must be on top of the vandalism issue in order to contain its proliferation. Discouraging graffiti often involves covering walls with city-sanctioned art. Murals can often deter taggers and McNeice notes that since the city began covering its utility boxes with artistic wraps, they
have been vandalized less. Interacting with kids in schools is another way volunteers work to discourage people from graffiti. “We tell them about all the things their school could have if $100,000 didn’t have to get spent painting walls 20 times a year,” she said. “They could have more money if it wasn’t being wasted.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

‘Mr. Burns’ to dog Metro over incineration Waste strategy under fire on campaign trail By Jeff Nagel Black Press
Submitted photo
The “Mr. Burns” mascot will be on the civic election campaign trail this fall, pressuring local politicians to resist Metro Vancouver’s plans to build a new incinerator in the region. until after the election because they don’t want it to be an election issue. After that’s over things will happen very, very quickly and it will be too late for people to do anything about it.” Opponents of a new waste-to-energy plant for Metro cite varying concerns, including worse air pollution in the Fraser Valley, high costs and the undermining of greener recycling alternatives. Metro insists its strat-
egy is to increase recycling from an average of 58% to 80% by 2020, but it will still need more disposal capacity because of its decision to halt use of the Cache Creek landfill. “We’re working hard to get as much recycled material out of the waste stream as possible,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. Moore said he believes campaigns opposing Metro’s plan, as well

a mixed-waste material recovery plant in Coquitlam that Black argues could sort and extract recyclables from garbage before it’s burned or landfilled. “The public is more than willing to give these a try, especially when they don’t come at any risk to public money,” Black said. Success in sorting commodities from garbage could save the region spending $500 million on a new incinerator, he argued. “The only ones that don’t think it’s a good idea at this point in time are proponents of incinerators.” The poll found few people were aware of the material recovery idea but 91% supported it after it was described to them by the Belkorpcommissioned polling firm. It found 32% of respondents thought incinerators were a good way of dealing with waste that can’t be recycled, while 17% listed landfills.
Waste incinerator emissions decrease By Jeff Nagel Black Press
A mostly complete upgrade at Metro Vancouver’s waste-toenergy incinerator in south Burnaby has already sharply reduced emissions that contribute to smog. Metro Vancouver solid waste manager Paul Henderson said there’s been a more than 25% drop in nitrogen oxides released and those emissions should drop by nearly another third by the end of the year to less than half of the 2013 average. The $7-million emission control system upgrade is the latest improvement at the region’s WasteTo-Energy Facility, but the Fraser Valley Regional District has
challenged the plant’s operating certificate renewal, demanding the province impose much tighter emission limits and monitoring requirements. Metro’s incinerator normally contributes about 0.9% of the Lower Mainland’s nitrogen oxide emissions, but Henderson said that has now fallen to 0.6% and should hit 0.4% by year-end. The incinerator burns 280,000 tonnes of garbage per year and the region is continuing its push to add a new waste-to-energy plant with a further 370,000-tonne capacity. It would burn garbage that isn’t recycled and will no longer be shipped to the Cache Creek landfill. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Opponents of garbage incineration launched a fresh attack on Metro Vancouver’s waste-toenergy expansion plan Tuesday by unveiling a satirical “Mr. Burns” mascot. Kevin Grandia, a consultant fronting what he calls the Burn Free BC Coalition along with one other activist, said the aim is to pressure local politicians seeking election this fall to resist the Metro plan to build a costly new incinerator. The concept mirrors the use of a “Mr. Floatie” mascot in Victoria to shame area politicians into supporting a new treatment plant to end the pumping of raw sewage into the ocean. “This election, we, with Mr. Burns in tow, are going to make sure every voter knows about every municipal candidate who supports this plan,” said Grandia, who unveiled the smokestackstyled mascot outside Metro’s annual Zero Waste Conference in Vancouver. And while much discussion inside the conference room focused on innovative solutions to recycle or reduce waste before it reaches the consumer, the question of incineration was broached in a panel discussion. U.S. plastics recycling entrepreneur Michael Biddle said burning plastics ends its potential use as a resource, although he added wasteto-energy has a role because not everything can be recycled. Another speaker cautioned against over-building incinerators. Metro officials insist they support recycling, reuse and reduction of waste at the design stage before recovering energy from unrecyclable waste instead of landfilling it. But Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross accused them of avoiding the topic of incineration at the conference and in municipal elections this fall. Metro last spring postponed plans to start public consultations on some prospective sites for a new waste-to-energy plant after Nanaimo council rejected one site at Duke Point. Metro has yet to identify other potential sites it has optioned that could be matched with wasteto-energy firms proposing to use various technologies. “It’s the huge elephant in the room,”Ross said. “They’ve gone quiet
as its Bylaw 280 to keep waste from flowing out of the region, are “completely funded” by two companies that operate the Cache Creek landfill and haul Metro garbage to distant landfills. “ I n my o p i n i o n , Belkorp and BFI are absolutely the ones funding all of the anti-Metro Vancouver messaging going on.” Moore said the delay in waste-to-energy consultations is because negotiations for prospective sites have proven complex, not due to political reasons. He said most Metro board directors continue to support the regional district’s waste strategy, adopted in mid-2010, despite criticism from a few councillors in some municipalities. Belkorp Environmental Services vice-president Russ Black denied the firm is funding antiMetro campaigns. He released a poll conducted by Abacus Data showing 74% of Metro Vancouver residents would support a twoyear freeze by the regional district on work to build a new incinerator while alternatives are explored. Belkorp subsidiary N e x t U s e R e cy c l i n g has proposed to build

Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads. Verdict There is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added. There is now a height adjustable drivers seats, a standard 5-inch LCD screen with backup camera and Bluetooth all on

the base $14,495 DX trim. Move up one step to the $17,295 LX trim and Honda includes a huge 7-inch touch-sensitive Display Audio system and heated front seats (my favourite). There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point.

Safety Tip: Fall is a good time to assemble an emergency kit for your car – or check the one in your trunk. Kits should include booster cables, tire sealer and inflator, towrope, an emergency signal cone, first aid kit, batteries, flashlight, a thermal blanket, rain poncho, and gloves.

Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours!

“The four-time F1 champ influenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reflective signs collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo urged us to visit will govern your speed and braking such historic automatically. You soon figure whether he’s locations as trustworthy or not. In addition, Dunkirk, Bruges lane control keeps you on the and Brussels.” straight and narrow should you drift into that passing car you were alerted to by another warning system. Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying. Contact keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

work is now performed. “This is my world,” affirmed Nowak. “We build a lot of complex visual experiences to allow all stakeholders within our company (Ford) understand what the embodiment of that proposal is and hopefully galvanize a common view or understanding of what that theme represents.” Animations created by the ten-person 2000x Studio team begin with a storyboard of proposed shots, just like a Hollywood or Disney movie. The images produced are in ultra-high definition, known as 4K, which is four times clearer than commercial high-definition imaging, as there’s intense attention to detail of all facets of the vehicle – exterior, interior, proportions, stance, etc. “In addition to being a powerful internal communication tool, digital animation is also a great tool that we hand-off to our marketing organization,” said Nowak. “It also allows us to do more in the same amount of time. In the past, we might have only been able to do one design theme in a development time block. Now we can do ten, fifteen or even twenty design themes in that same time block.” Jeffrey Nowak has been with the Ford Motor Company for eighteen years and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in industrial design (transportation) from the College for Creative Studies. He holds more than 30 design patents with Ford Motor Company and is considered an industry leader in the field of computer-aided industrial design process and technology. And he’s a big admirer of movie director/producer Michael Bay, who is best known for the Transformers movie series. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

Studio 2000x is a fully-fledged movie-making animation department that’s buried deep in the bowels of Ford’s headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Jeffery (Jeff) Nowak heads a groundbreaking small group of dedicated Animators/Auto Designers who are playing an increasingly important role in product development at Ford and changing the way cars are created. Jeffery Nowak talked recently about his unique line of work, while he was here attending the SIGGRAPH Conference and Exhibition at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The conference attracts professionals worldwide from the computer graphics, visual effects, gaming, science, robotics and movie industries. “Our animations are cinematic in that we try to convey the message within a product and express ‘the feel’ of that vehicle, as best we can,” said Nowak. “We’re trying to create a reality, before a reality actually exists, yet achieve a level of realism. We live for that challenge and it’s very exciting and rewarding, especially in the artistic pursuit.” Designing a new automobile is a long and complex process that typically takes about two years, yet it still starts with a simple two-dimensional sketch. In the digital age, however, that sketch is done on a specialized computer tablet, as it’s easier and faster to then develop it into a 3D model. From there, an actual scaled-down clay or foam model can be produced. As they move ahead in this design decision phase, more complex 3D design themes are explored and eventually a full-size clay model is produced. “What we’re seeing now is a whole new generation of tools that allow us to work more intuitively,” said Nowak. “The transition from hands-on sketching and hard clay sculpting tools to computer inputs was a challenge for some designers. Now we’re seeing a maturity of the technology to a point that these (digital) tools are becoming more like those organic tools again. Before Ford commits to producing expensive full-scale models, a lot of animation

Topless Fiat is flawed but charming The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic. John Legend’s “All of Me” comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.” Hmmmm. As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pintsized Fiat I’m captaining. In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it. One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous ding-dong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers commented on how annoying it is. The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs. You should be able to crank

up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the additional $495 price tag.) Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors that help guide you into the spot you want to be in. The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people in-
side and their luggage will be a challenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open. Then there’s the optional TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward visibility. An awkward spot for GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straightforward either. Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower
and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power, pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The 5-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace. While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not
perfect. I love the exterior colour: Espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm richness to it. When matched with the two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it looks stylish and chic. Bringing the outside in, the espresso paint also colours to life the dash. Combined with ivory touches, it has an upscale ambiance. The tester, being the Lounge trim of 500C, it has an
MSRP of $23,995. That comes with keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel (and the aforementioned leather seating surfaces with heated front seats), 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, hill start assist and more. When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required. It’s also a lovely road companion because imperfections on the road aren’t felt
with abrasion or discomfort. Furthermore, if you want to shed some light on the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the push of a button. One is a sunroof-like option, the next goes about 2/3 of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume. I feel like I’m back in grade school, sitting on the grass field at lunch, plucking the petals of a dandelion, one by one, saying, “I love it, I don’t love it, I love it, I don’t love… I LOVE IT!” alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca

The big stories out the of classic car world today are the multi-million dollar rarities that will be offered for sale at the big auctions in Monterey, Ca. With those cars making headlines, it’s easy to forget that there isn’t a millionaires-only policy when it comes to classic cars. Here are four favourite all-American classics that can still be had for less than the price of a loaded new Ford Focus: 1948-49 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe: The ’48 Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter plane-inspired tail fins that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As elegant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8. 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird: The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, mid-century modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent convertibles can be found for $25,000 or less. 1964-66 Ford Mustang: The first generation Mustang which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has clearly aged beautifully, looking just as fresh today as it did in April of 1964 at its New York World’s Fair Rob Sass
The ’48 Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII and they were drop-dead gorgeous.
’’
introduction. Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylinder coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price. 1927-31 Ford Model A: Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The Godfather II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s-40s, it sometimes seems like there was nothing else on the road. They can still provide reliable transportation even in the 21st century. Amazingly, this piece of automotive history is still affordable. Tudor sedans range from $15,000 to $20,000 and roadsters $20,000 to $25,000.

Place Maillard stories Coquitlam Public Library is partnering with Place Maillard community centre to offer free family storytimes. These storytimes are for kids from birth to five years of age and will be offered on alternating Wednesdays from 10:55 to 11:15 a.m. The next session is on Oct. 1 and will feature songs, rhymes and stories. Parents and caregivers can stimulate their children’s imaginations and have fun interacting with their young ones. Place Maillard is a community centre serving the residents of Maillardville and is located at 1200 Cartier Ave. (phone: 604-933-6166). For more information, and to learn about other free library programs for children, call Coquitlam Public Library at 604 554-7334 or 604 937-4142, or visit www.coqlibrary.ca.
Among the fun, there was also opportunity for romantic encounters. The young population would be able to exchange amorous glances, perhaps a gentle touch when handing over a teacup. Many a courtship began at a Booth picnic. Emeri Paré, Coquitlam’s first fire and police chief, met his future wife, Hélena Chevalier, at a 1914 picnic. Picnicking has been a summer tradition for centuries. Up until Victorian times, picnics were mostly enjoyed by the wealthy. Then, with societal and economic shifts, picnicking became popular across all
classes. Last Sunday, we held a community picnic at Heritage Square to mark Mackin House’s sixth annual open house and the 105th year since the arrival of French Canadians in Maillardville. While not all the men wore casual ties and hats, there was a mini farm market, tea tent, storytellers, crafts, heritage yummies and music.

hen leafing through our local newspapers, it’s hard not to come across stories about community spirit. There are neighbourhood festivals, shoreline clean-ups, memorial bench programs, to name only a handful. This tradition of community gathering and building has always been a part of Coquitlam and there is no better example than the Booth Farm picnic. Situated near Millside School at the foot of the Dawes Hill area, Booth Farm was the locale of “games, music, laughter and lovely cakes and pies,”as Esther Petts recalls. The farm operated as a dairy farm for decades, supplying early Coquitlam with fresh milk and other dairy products. Produce was also cultivated and sold throughout the burgeoning city, delivered throughout by horse and wagon. Despite being known as the Booth Farm, it was jointly owned and run by the Booth and Brehaut families, whose farm houses were located across from each other, and were an agricultural and dairy powerhouse.
We don’t know the exact date when the families first invited their neighbours to a grand outdoor picnic. We do know that up until the mid-1930s, every summer, “everyone would come out [and] would bring a few things and have a community picnic,” according to Hercules Lamoreux. The women would pack their wicker baskets with homemade goodies, the men would dress in their casual ties and hats, and the children would get ready to play baseball, softball and tug of war, and to run races. If you were really well prepared, you could even catch a trout or salmon in Booth or Millside creeks. Of course, no party is complete without musical entertainment and Maillardville’s band, La Fanfare Canadienne Francaise de Maillardville, is said to have played at the annual Booth event, providing a lyrical backdrop. Some of the summer’s picnics had religious overtones as local churches organized outings for their parishioners. Most, however, were simply for the larger community to celebrate neighbourhood spirit and summer. Canada Day saw one of the largest gatherings of the year, bringing together people and patriotism for a wholesome picnic.

Mental health first aid course in PoCo in Oct. PoCo-based New View Society is hosting course 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 profession-
als, employers, emergency responders and other groups to support individuals with mental health challenges. Just as physical first aid is administered to an injured person before medical treatment, mental health first aid is given until appropriate treatment is found or until the crisis is resolved. 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 avail-
able 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; • listen without judgment; • 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.

Sockeye shun U.S. waters, fill B.C. nets Warm water likely steered salmon to Canadian boats
sockeye catch by the numbers
By Jeff Nagel
• Purse seiners: 3,494,600 • Gillnetters — Johnstone Strait: 1,177,500 • Gillnetters — Fraser River: 1,375,000 • Trollers: 282,100 • First Nations — commercial: 551,900 • First Nations — food, social, ceremonial: 838,000 • Recreational: 174,400 • U.S. commercial (including First Nations): 442,800 • Test fisheries: 146,200
BlaCk Press
A quirk of nature has handed B.C. commercial fishermen a huge catch of sockeye salmon this summer, while leaving their American counterparts almost empty handed. Commercial fishing is winding down and the tally of the totes so far shows U.S. fishermen out of Washington State have caught barely 440,000 sockeye, a mere five% of the total Fraser-bound catch as of Sept. 12. By comparison, Canadian seiners, gillnetters and trollers, as well as First Nations and sports anglers, have caught a combined 7.9 million sockeye. Americans had been allocated 1.8 million but haven’t come close to that quota because nearly all the Fraser sockeye have stayed out of U.S. waters by running down the east side of Vancouver Island via Johnstone Strait. It’s not that the salmon have been patriotic about sticking to the all-Canadian migration route. Pa c i f i c S a l m o n Commission chief biologist Mike Lapointe says warm ocean temperatures likely mean Fraser sockeye ranged further into the Gulf of Alaska and then, on their homeward migration, made landfall further north than usual up the B.C. coast. A normal year sees Fraser sockeye flow more evenly around Vancouver Island, with significant numbers going down the west side where Americans can fish in Juan de Fuca Strait. But since early August more than 98% have taken Johnstone Strait.
Lampreys can survive in fresh water so “they can latch onto a sockeye in Georgia Strait and hang onto it and ride it right up the river.” Unlike some recent years when the fleet was sidelined because the run was too small to fish, this year’s sockeye return — COLLEEN FLANAGAN/BLACK PRESS Above, Mike Armstrong, left, and Phil Eidsvik haul in salmon during a commercial fisheries opening last month on the though short of a record — gave all groups of fishFraser River near Maple Ridge.

salmon returned to the Fraser, after a shutdown in 2012. Fishery managers are hopeful Fraser sockeye are gradually rebuilding since the disastrous 2009 run when just 1.6 million sockeye returned, triggering the Cohen Inquiry. Lapointe said most fishing could be end as soon as this week to protect weaker coho salmon stocks. One stock that returned weaker than was hoped was the Cultus Lake sockeye, where fewer than 300 fish have come back. “That’s definitely a concern,” Lapointe said.

GVHBA Fall Renovation Show kicks off on October 4 By Kerry Vital
If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam. Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information
and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute oneon-one consultations to homeowners looking for assistance. Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends,
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Renovating versus New Build and Designing for Small Spaces. A list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Morningstar Homes is bringing their single-family home expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood, a collection of homes with some amazing curb appeal and great features, including a gorgeous kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing.
The Village at Southwood delivers wow factor By Kerry Vital
Morningstar Homes has a reputation for being one of the top single-family builders in the Lower Mainland, with beautiful homes in several communities. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood. “South Surrey is one of the most soughtafter places to live,” says Deborah Calahan,
vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There are so many amenities in the area. It’s close to great recreation like the new aquatic centre, good schools, the ocean, shopping, dining and the United States. It’s truly got it all!” The three-bedroom homes at The Village at Southwood are built in a contemporary West Coast style, with generous use of stucco, stone and wood that combines for some serious
curb appeal. Each home has a large private backyard for leisure time with the family. Inside, the spacious open floorplans range from 2,570 to 2,615 square feet, with an unfinished basement that gives buyers the option to include a deluxe finished basement or legal suite. The vaulted ceilings and window seats are just two beautiful details in the homes. Like all Morningstar homes, the kitchen is a highlight. “The kitchen is king in our homes,” Calahan says. The Village at Southwood kitchens include large granite islands perfect for entertaining or family meals, as well as high-end stainless-
steel appliances. Natural light is prevalent throughout the homes due to the huge windows. Gorgeous glass-paneled stairwells add to the open feel and contemporary look of the home. Another stunning addition is the linear gas fireplace in the living area. Upstairs, the master suite is an oasis, with a wall-to-wall seam-less glass shower enclosure with sitting bench, two hand-held wands and a large rain shower head. “The ensuite makes you feel like you’re on vacation at a luxury spa!” Calahan says. “They feel so extravagant.” Morningstar is offering several options to homeowners, allowing them to truly make their home their own. Among them are an indulgent steam shower, Nu Heat flooring in the master ensuite and main bathroom, an electric linear fireplace to add ambiance to either a master bedroom or den and a stateof-the-art four-zone Sono audio system. “There’s even some outdoor living choices like a garden bench with planters and faux grass for low-maintenance yards!” Calahan says. “People really appreciate that.” The homes opened for sale in August, and have already been very popular with buyers. “There has been an amazing response so far,” says Calahan. Part of the appeal is the neighbourhood. Close to the amenities of Morgan Crossing, nearly anything you can imagine is within walking or easy driving distance, and Highway 99 is just moments away. Recreation opportunities at Crescent Beach or one of the numerous golf courses and parks are all nearby. The exciting Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is due to open next year. And kids can walk to the new elementary school that is slated to open in the near future located just down the street. “It’s really special,” Calahan says. “We’re really thrilled to be here.” For more information, visit www. mstarhomes.com, call 604-560-3450 or visit the presentation centre and three showhomes, located at 16708 23rd Avenue, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 6 p.m.

More honours for Mashinchi Coquitlam UBC soccer player named first star of the week By Gary McKenna The TRi-CiTy News
N av i d M a s h i n c h i wasn’t satisfied with being named Canada West Soccer’s third star last week. The fifth-year midfielder for the UBC Thunderbirds kept up his strong play, being
named CIS player of the week and first star in the division for his play against the University of Northern B.C. Timberwolves. On Saturday, the Port Moody native recorded three assists for his number-one ranked T-birds in a 5-1 win over the visiting Timberwolves, before factoring into all three goals in a 3-0 win on Sunday. In the second match, he scored on a free kick from 20 yards out at the 36th minute and assisted
on the second goal of the game when he passed to Paul Clerc who headed in the ball. Mashinchi rounded out the day with a second goal in the 54th minute on a penalty kick. Last week, the UBC athlete kicked off the season with two gamewinning goals, earning him third star of the week honours in the Canada West division. He got a game winner last Friday against the Victoria Vikes in the 58th min-
ute when he knocked in a cross from teammate Milad Mehrabi. He also assisted on the Thunderbirds’ first goal by Nial Cousens in front 1,900 Victoria fans. After four games this season, Mashinchi leads the Canada West division in assists with five and is tied for second in scoring with four goals. The Thunderbirds will travel to the B.C. Interior this weekend for games against Thompson Rivers University and UBC Okanagan.
The Coquitlam Raiders bounced back from an 0-2 start to the Vancouver Mainland Football League season with a 12-8 win over the Cloverdale Cougars. Leading the way on defence was Michael Evans, Cole Kashino and Andrew Lloyd with some huge third down stops to give the offence a chance to stay in the game. Coquitlam’s Jarrett Chong opened the scoring in the third quarter with a clear run down the field, but the Cougars took an 8-6 lead a few minutes later. However, the Raiders were able to march the ball down the field with a 30-yard run by Jaden Severy who then carried the ball two more times to punch it in from the six-yard line. Neither team was able to score in the final frame after some solid back-and-forth play and the game ended 12-8 for the Coquitlam squad. sports@tricitynews.com
Johansen looks to follow in big brother’s footsteps By Warren Henderson BlaCk PRess
Wi t h c o n s i d e rable skill and depth already frequenting the blue line, cracking the Kelowna Rockets’ lineup as a young defenceman can be a daunting challenge. If all goes as planned, Port Moody’s Lucas Johansen will
be the latest prospect to work his way into the WHL team’s select group of rearguards. Johansen, 16, was the Rockets’ sixth-round draft pick in 2012 and according to coaching staff, brings size, skill and smarts to the position. The team believes that given time, he should develop into solid major junior player.
Johansen, from Port Moody, played last season with the B.C. Major Midget League’s Northeast Chiefs.The younger brother of Columbus Bluejackets’ forward Ryan Johansen, Lucas is excited about the prospects of embarking on his own junior career. see D-Man, page 43

However, the Gunners bounced back in the second.

Johansen will play in Rockets’ home opener continued from page 42
“It’s a great league,” said Johansen who stands in at six-foot-two, 170 pounds. “You can see how big and fast the guys are compared to the previous level. It’s a big jump and I’m definitely looking forward to sticking here and being a part of this team.” In Johansen’s case, Rockets director of player personnel Lorne Frey said the young defenceman has shown tremendous growth over the last year, both physically and mentally. “He’s really excelled the last four months, he’s grown and he’s developed quickly,” Frey said. “He’s a great skater, a little slight size-wise, but he’ll grow… and he’s so smart out there and willing to learn. We like him a lot.” As for having an older sibling pave the way through junior hockey and now into the NHL, Lucas said watching

Rookie defenceman Lucas Johansen is expected to make a contribution on the Kelowna Rockets’ blue line this season. Ryan has been a valuable learning experience. “Obviously where he is now, he didn’t do many things wrong,” said Johansen. “But you can see where he made mistakes, get a bird’seye view. To see him go through it all and do what he did, it really helps me on my journey. I’m grateful to have him
in my family.” The Rockets finished up its six-game pre-season schedule with a 2-4 record. Johansen is expected to be in the lineup this Saturday, when the club takes on the Kamloops Blazers this for the regular season opener this Saturday in Kelowna. sports@tricitynews.com
