ERH stacks up to hospitals across Canada: study Infection control an ongoing issue By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody’s Eagle Ridge Hospital has scored well, according to a new online tool that compares health care facilities across the country. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) website, which went live Sept. 18, allows individuals, hospitals, health regions and provinces to compare how they measure up on 37 indicators related to ac-

A community health profile shows the Tri-Cities, with a well-educated and affluent population, is ahead of the curve on many indicators. See article on page 6. cess, quality of care and patient safety. And compared to other medium-sized hospitals across the country, ERH is “doing fairly well... with no statistical difference for in-hospital sepsis, readmission rates or hospital deaths following major surgery,” said Kira Leeb, director of health system performance for CIHI. Eagle Ridge, which is

celebrating its 30th anniversary, is also running more efficiently than similar-sized hospitals. “Part of that is driven by the size of the hospital,” Leeb said. “But from all I see... Eagle Ridge Hospital is performing quite well within its peer group and within the Fraser Health Authority.” see INFO PUTS, page 6

Referendum details will have to wait for elections Voting on taxes for transit could be online, by mail By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Port Moody photographer Tracy w came across this clever heron on a recent morning as it went fishing at the Noon’s Creek Hatchery. Rather than hunt for food in open water, the bird used the netting over a pond to grab a bite.

A final decision is unlikely until after the November municipal elections on what proposed new taxes would be put to a spring ref-

erendum to finance a major transit expansion for Metro Vancouver. Metro mayors met again Monday and are still in discussions with Transportation Minister Todd Stone as to how much money can be raised and what sources are acceptable. Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton previously said the referendum question and parameters

needed to be settled by September but now hopes they will be mostly determined by an Oct. 17 meeting and finalized Dec. 11. The delay may spare Metro mayors the need to defend the specifics of proposed new taxes for TransLink in mid-campaign, but Walton denied the election timing is a motive for delay. see ‘THE SOONER’, page 15

BACK TO SCHOOL: Students, parents and schools are quickly back in the swing of things

About $15M slated for parent school strike payouts By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Most eligible families are taking the B.C. government up on its offer of money to cover daycare costs during the threeweek teachers’ strike, according to figures from

the Ministry of Finance. But the ministry is not confirming how much will be paid out for the $40-a-day Temporary Education Support for Parents payments until the end of January 2015, the deadline for families to register.

Still, it appears most families with children 12 and under are applying for the payment, which will result in a payout of $520 per student for the 13 days lost to strike. As of Monday, nearly 210,000 families had applied for TESP for 285,000

students, or nearly 92% of those eligible. It looks like the province will be paying out some $15 million; as of the end of June, the last date when figures are available, the province had saved $163 million due to the strike, accord-

ing to ministry figures. But not all parents will be keeping the cash, according to Chuck Denison, president of the District 43 Parent Advisory Council. “There are people, certainly, who feel strongly enough in their desire to

PE with a Twist at PoCo school for top athletes Course a collaboration between school and biz By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Sleeping in is not an option for a group of Riverside secondary school students who are spending their early mornings working out. The students — 50 of them over two semesters — are taking part in the school’s first High Performance Sport Conditioning Academy, a new course established this spring by School District 43 in collaboration with Twist Sport Conditioning in Port Coquitlam. This week, as school got back in session for the district’s 30,000 students, 28 students taking the four-credit course this fall were doing strength and conditioning workouts at Twist. Early mornings, it seems, are the best time for a workout and the kids didn’t seem to mind a 7:15 a.m. start. Students who participate are typically on national or provincial teams, and enrolment is split 50-50 between boys and girls. Sports represented include volleyball, basketball, soccer, gymnastics, hockey, triathlon, water polo and lacrosse. “This is not your regular PE class,” Twist’s George Watts explained. “If you want to go to the

next level and win championships, you have to be prepared to work hard.” The areas of focus for the academy are: balance, movement, strength, mind/body integration, muscle training, nutrition, injury prevention and sport psychology, with students spending three mornings at Twist and two in the classroom with teacher Bryan Gee, who oversees the course. Riverside principal Anthony Ciolfitto said he wasn’t surprised at the high enrolment for a first-year program because Riverside has many student athletes who perform at a high level and the $599 fee for the course is less than what families would pay privately for a similar program. “There is also the convenience factor for parents and students,” Ciolfitto said. “Being able to do this during the school day and earning credit as well is quite appealing.” The interaction is also appealing for Watts, who said he’ll be following students’ progress in games and championships throughout the season. As he does with other student athletes who train at Twist, Watts says he enjoys hearing stories about personal accomplishments on the field, the ice and the court. He said he hopes that other schools will consider starting similar programs for their students. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

have that money to go back into the education system,” he said, adding that he has heard some parents are donating the funds back to their schools for a tax receipt, adding, “Kudos to them, that’s very generous.” There are also many

families that need the money, Denison said. According to the ministry, cheques will be mailed to addresses provided during registration and most payments will be sent out by the end of October. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Seaview is in the lead to win $10k in books By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

George Watts of Twist Sport Conditioning with some of the equipment used by Riverside secondary students taking part in the school’s new High Performance Sport Conditioning Academy. As many as 50 students have registered from the Port Coquitlam school.

Two Tri-City community schools are in the running to win $10,000 in new books. Seaview elementary in Port Moody and Central elementary in Port Coquitlam are looking for the public’s help to gain votes in the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation’s Adopt a School contest. As of Thursday, Seaview was in first place in B.C. with more than 2,400 votes, or“adopts.”It has also received donations through the drive that amount to 255 books. (Central was 16th in B.C., with 29 adopts as of yesterday.) Seaview principal Susan Ross said should her school win the competition,“it would be transformative.” Most books in the library at the Cecile Drive school are between 10 and 20 years old, she said. A $10,000 injection would mean new titles as well as full series and collections plus hands-on resources to help the 225 students with literacy skills. “We are a community that really, really cares about our kids,”Ross said.“We are a community that can make good decisions and it deserves to win.” Tara Martin, who has two children at the school, said since a Seaview parent posted the details on Facebook, the local effort has taken off. Word has also spread through networking, emails, newsletters and other social media.“It’s kind of electrified the school,”Ross said. The close-knit community is now hoping to get external attention to boost the school’s reading programs such as morning family reading, big buddy-little buddy, and before- and afterschool care sessions. “Our school is not in close proximity to the Port Moody Library,”Martin said.“There are families in our neighbourhood that have financial limitations to bring their children to and from the local library. Being able to borrow resources at school would benefit them tremendously.” • To cast your vote before the Oct. 4 deadline, go to adoptaschool.indigo.ca/eng. The online campaign and Chapters Pinetree Village are also accepting book donations to the registered schools.

Coquitlam poised to host a Canadian ﬁrst Advanced facility to maximize recycling Beneﬁts of NextUse material recovery facility

Proposed NextUse Material Recovery and Recycling Facility in Coquitlam. COQUITLAM, BC - The City of Coquitlam has been chosen as the site of an advanced $30 million facility that will take recycling to the next level and reduce the need for a second waste incinerator, and avoidable impacts on taxes and air quality. While the proposed facility has the support of municipal elected officials, it awaits the go ahead from Metro Vancouver. If approved, NextUse could handle more than a quarter of Metro Vancouver’s garbage and drastically reduce the amount of waste that has to be buried in landfills or burned in incinerators. While a Canadian first, similar facilities have been operating successfully for years in California and other U.S. jurisdictions where air quality is a priority.

Technical equipment used to process the waste, extract and sort recyclables is advanced, eﬃcient and green. (San Jose, CA)

“It’s hard to believe but nearly half of the garbage now going to landﬁll or incineration is made up of valuable materials like food scraps, recyclable plastic, paper and metals,” said Russ Black, Vice-President of Corporate Development for NextUse Recycling, the company proposing to build and operate the plant. “This plant will allow us to ‘break open the garbage bag’ and recover and recycle more than half of what’s left in the garbage, boosting the regional recycling rate even higher. Because the plant is completely enclosed, nearby residents can breathe easy knowing there’ll be no negative impacts on the community.”

More jobs, less cost Black added that the project will create about 80 clean jobs and, unlike proposed incinerators, will be built with private capital and operated at no increased cost to taxpayers. “Material recovered at NextUse could be reused in the region for manufacturing new products from recycled material—spin-oﬀ beneﬁts that represent new opportunities for an expanding green economy in BC.”

Residents have spoken During public consultations for its regional plan, Metro Vancouver heard loud and clear from residents that their top priorities are reducing waste and maximizing material recovery and recycling. “This project will do both those things and is in line with our region’s commitment to diverting as much of our recyclables as possible out of the waste stream,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart. “This proposal brings advanced waste-separation technologies that will help the Tri-Cities and Metro Vancouver maintain leadership in waste diversion and recycling, while also providing economic beneﬁts to our region.” Oﬃcials say the facility, which would establish Coquitlam and BC as leaders in the advanced material recovery sector, could be up and running within two years of receiving licence approval from Metro Vancouver. In the meantime, NextUse is inviting residents to contact the company directly with any questions or concerns. The company can be reached at community@nextuse.ca.

The NextUse facility would be fully enclosed and employ innovative technologies. (Bristol, England)

• After source separation and sorting efforts, NextUse represents one last screening of the “waste” to maximize the recovery of recyclables instead of burning or burying them • Reduces dependency on landfills • Privately-funded, with no additional cost to taxpayers (versus an incinerator which would cost $500 million for construction alone, and require a significant increase in taxes for residents and businesses) • Creates more local jobs and potential for spin-off economies in BC-based remanufacturing of recycled material • Zero emissions, clean and green • Innovative and flexible, able to support ongoing progress towards zero waste. NextUse Recycling Ltd. is an affiliate of Belkorp Environmental Services Inc., a private BC company based in Vancouver with a long history in recycling, composting, safe disposal and environmental service businesses that span across the broad sector of waste management.

The NextUse facility will allow us to ‘break open the garbage bag’ and recover and recycle more than half of what is left in garbage after people have sorted recyclables themselves, boosting the regional recycling rate even higher.

Info puts focus on health continued from front page

In looking at data for the entire Fraser Health region, ERH was at the top of the pack for the cost of a hospital stay. It also had the lowest number of surgical patients re-admitted to hospital and the lowest number of deaths following major surgery. ERH ranked fourth in the region for in-hospital sepsis rates, with the top three being Burnaby Hospital, Delta Hospital and Chilliwack General. Lakh Bagri, ERH’s

IN QUOTES

“Like every other hospital, we continue to work on infection-control issues.” Lakh Bagri, ErH executive director new executive director (he assumed the post earlier this month), said the report identified areas he intends to focus on, including hand washing and hygiene compliance, and reducing the amount of time patients stay in the hospital. “The average length of stay is quite high, higher

than expected compared to other hospitals,” Bagri said. ERH patients stayed about 10 days in hospital, compared to about eight days at Burnaby and Peace Arch hospitals, nine days at Ridge Meadows Hospital and Health Centre at seven days at Langley Memorial Hospital.

Tri-Cities ahead of the curve in health stats By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

A new community health profile database is widening the conversation on what it means to be a healthy community. And it shows that the Tri-Cities, with a largely well-educated and affluent population — albeit one that is expected to be much older 20 years from now — is ahead of the curve on many health indicators. The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) compiled information on population demographics, family income, education, employment and even the ways we get to work to assemble the profiles. Lydia Drasic, executive director of the BC Centre for Disease Control and Chronic Diseases Prevention, said the profiles were created to answer requests for localized data that could assist in community health planning, noting the information focuses on the social determinants of health. “They’re things that influence our health but are not necessarily under the direct mandate of the health sector,”Drasic explained.“Health care itself contributes to 24 to 27% of our health but things like income, education, social connectedness to our community, the environment, these things actually influence our health as well.” Below are some of the results from Tri-Cities’ community health profiles; for further information, visit www.phsa.ca and search for“BC Community Health Profiles.”

POP. SNAPSHOT

Population data about the number of residents in several age groups, their ethnic background and the languages they speak shows the Tri-Cities (including Anmore and Belcarra) are a diverse group made up of mainly young families. The bulk of the age distribution lies in the 40 to 54 range, followed closely by kids, from newborns to the 15 to 19 set. And while 15% of the region’s population is under 15 today and just 10% are

65 and older, the picture in 2035 is predicted to be significantly different.Twenty years from now, about a quarter of Tri-City residents are predicted to be seniors. The Tri-Cities are also a multicultural place, with visible minorities making up about 29% of the population in Port Moody and Port Coquitlam, and 44% in Coquitlam. Information on the ages and backgrounds of people living in the Tri-Cities can be used to plan community amenities such parks and sidewalks, and to better meet the needs of groups that have difficulty maintaining their health or accessing health services.

INCOME, wOrk

Income and employment can be significant health predictors, affecting both housing conditions, transportation options, access to healthy food and recreational activities, and stress levels. People with better education tend to be healthier, not only by having generally better working conditions and income but also informing better health choices. The latest data (from 2010) shows each of the TriCities boasts a higher family after-tax income when compared to the provincial average — the disparity was highest in the villages of Anmore and Belcarra — and, for the most part, fewer residents considered low-income.The only exception was Coquitlam, where 17.3% were considered low-income versus the B.C. average of 16.4%. In most of the cities, more than a third have a university degree, the exception being PoCo, where more than a quarter of the population had a high school diploma as their highest level of education.

ON THE MOVE

Unemployment or underemployment aren’t just hard on the pocketbook but can be tough on your health, whether it’s mental well-being, elevated stress levels, workplace safety or hours of work. In the Tri-Cities, unemployment was below the 7.8% provincial average

as well (according to 2011 stats), with PoCo boasting the lowest rate at 6.5%. And the figures also show that the bike-to-work squad has a long way to go here in the Tri-Cities, where about 80% of residents drive to work.Transit users hovered at about 13 to 17%, cyclists about 0.5% and pedestrians about 3%. “How we plan and build our communities can make healthy options, like active transportation, more available, affordable and accessible for everyone,”the profile notes.

CHILDHOOD

How our kids do as kids has a big impact on their emotional and physical health down the road. Accessible community programs for a range of children and families can foster healthy childhood development that lays the groundwork for future skills in emotional control, relationship building, self-esteem and health practices. Kindergarten-aged children in the Tri-Cities were found to be at or below the provincial percentage of kids who may be considered vulnerable in five core areas, including social competence, physical health, language and cognitive development, emotional maturity and communication skills.

HOw wELL?

The Tri-Cities’ good health means we’re living longer (by about a year) compared to the average British Columbian. But what about our mental health? Nearly 70% of B.C. residents reported very good or excellent mental health (2012 data), allowing us to enjoy a balanced life and cope with stress. Many are still struggling with mental illness, however, with 2,203 people in the Tri-Cities newly diagnosed (2012/’13) with depression or anxiety. As well, 1,960 locals found out they had high blood pressure and 1,140 were diagnosed with diabetes (Type 1 or 2). Another 439 suffered heart failure and 756 were diagnosed with asthma. spayne@tricitynews.com

“We will be doing concentrated work to understand that and to streamline care so as to use the beds we have better,” Bagri said. “And like every other hospital, we continue to work on infection-control issues.” The site offers a wealth of information on individual hospitals, as well as trends for the region, province and country. Searching for the Fraser Health Authority, for instance, reveals population demographics, including the number of family doctors available,

the prevalence of chronic diseases and more. Leeb said that CIHI, which is funded by Health Canada and the provincial and territorial governments, and tasked with providing data to support health care policy and management, created the site to improve transparency in the health system. “There’s nothing like making information publicly available to make sure all eyes are focused on how the health care system is performing,”she said. spayne@tricitynews.com

Telus deal brings fibre optic to PoCo; not everyone happy By Gary McKenna

$10k award for PoCo

The Tri-CiTy News

COUN. GLENN POLLOCK

MAYOR GREG MOORE comment on CRTC policy and the city should not be weighing in on issues it does not understand. “Telus is a big company,” he said. “They are able to go and advocate their positions for themselves. They don’t need us to parrot what they want us to say.” Another area of concern for West was a letter that was sent to homeowners last spring with the city of Port Coquitlam logo next to the Telus logo. The mailout stated that Telus would be visiting residences and businesses to discuss connecting them to the fibre optic network and that later this year people could sign up for new services. B u t M ayo r G r e g Moore said the letter to homeowners was simply a way of informing them construction and roadwork may need to take place in their neighbourhood. He added that he does not share the concerns of Pollock and West, and that the city’s relationship with Telus is completely appropriate. The letter the city sent to the CRTC was not specific to Telus, he said, and

that if other companies came forward with similar requests, he would support them as well. “If Rogers or Shaw asked us to, we would send the same letter,” he said. “It is a principle, it is not about whose name it is.” He noted that the CRTC hearings also deal with cellphone towers. If companies believe they are building infrastructure that could be used by competitors, they may not make the investments, which could hurt service in the municipality. Coun. Darrell Penner said he supports the Telus agreement. Unlike high-speed fibre optic networks in places like Coquitlam, which set up a separate corporation, QNet, to install such

equipment, PoCo is getting its infrastructure at no cost to the taxpayer, he said. “As soon as I heard this, it was a no brainer,” Penner said. “It gives you the ability to run a home-based business — you could run an engineering firm from your house… You could have Amazon move here because the capacity is here.” Liz Sauve, a spokesperson for Telus, told The Tri-City News the fibre optic network would increase internet speeds up to 100 megabytes per second. PoCo is one of several communities that were chosen for the pilot project and she said the company expects to have the majority of the work done by early October. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

A business award won last year by the city of Coquitlam went to a neighbouring municipality this year. On Wednesday at the Union of BC Municipalities’ convention in Whistler, Mayor Greg Moore accepted the Open for Business accolade — and $10,000 — on behalf of the city of Port Coquitlam. PoCo is one of nine B.C. communities to win the prize, which is given by the BC Small Business Roundtable and recognizes municipalities for local policies, projects and programs that help small business. According to a city press release yesterday, the $10,000 will go to programs that support PoCo businesses.The release stated the city will use the funds to develop new programs that could include a Biz Alley trade show during the annual May Day Festival, an online resource centre to support and promote local businesses, or a mentorship program for youth entrepreneurs. The Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training provided the $10,000 prizes. The other 2014 winners were: Grand Forks, Kelowna, Langley city, Parksville, Salmon Arm, Smithers, Surrey and Vernon. Each community will get $10,000 to support open business locally.

Port Coquitlam residents have likely noticed workers digging up sidewalks and rigging up overhead wiring throughout the city over the last few months. The construction is the result of a deal worked out between the city of PoCo and Telus that will see 90% of the community serviced with highspeed fibre optic technology. The company said the pilot program will increase internet speed and be a boon for local businesses that use large amounts of bandwidth. But while the agreement — which was debated and voted on during an in-camera meeting — has the backing of Mayor Greg Moore and the majority of council, support for the initiative is far from unanimous. “We as a city shouldn’t attach ourselves to a business in that fashion,” said Coun. Glenn Pollock. “I wasn’t supportive of it.” Pollock’s comments were echoed by Coun. Brad West, who said he was concerned with the perception that the city was giving preference to one company over others. Councillors added that they were particularly uneasy about a letter signed by Moore that supported Telus’ positions in an upcoming Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission hearing. The letter, obtained by The Tri-City News through a Freedom of Information request, stated that the city does not support changes to CRTC regulations that may force companies to share their network infrastructure with competitors. The document added that such rules could deter future investment in communities such as Port Coquitlam. West said neither council nor staff have the expertise necessary to

■ WHAT WE THINK:

s taking the ferry to Vancouver Island and back getting too expensive? Many B.C. mayors think so and on Wednesday, they voted to ask the province to roll back fare hikes that were implemented to cover rising costs and dwindling revenues. While many complain the cost of taking the family on vacation to the provincial capital is equivalent to a trip to Disneyland, the system does have to stay afloat and maybe fare adjustments are the only way to do so. In fact, current rate caps allow for another 4% hike this year and 3.9% next year. But it appears many municipal politicos are balking and the UBCM commissioned a study that shows fare hikes above the rate of inflation have hurt the economy and reduced taxes by a combined $3 billion. The province, naturally, disagrees, stating the commissioned study was irresponsible and unproductive. Maybe it’s time for everybody to get real. If we want a ferry system, we’ll have to pay for it and the bulk of the money should come from fares, not tax dollars.

5 terrible reasons to run for municipal office AS I SEE IT Danielle Klooster Editor’s note: Danielle Klooster was an outgoing Penhold, Alta. town councillor when she wrote this column almost a year ago in the Red Deer Advocate, a Black Press sister newspaper of The Tri-City News. We also printed the piece at the time and are reprinting it now as the nomination period will soon open for people planning to run in the Nov. 15 Tri-City council and school board elections.

ver wonder what motivates a person to run for municipal council? In many Alberta communities, there are high numbers of candidates for council as well as many mayoral hopefuls. But it seems that with every election, I repeatedly hear the same misguided and even mendacious rationales for taking the plunge. As a former councillor, I’m dismayed and even irritated by people who expect the voter

to select them when they haven’t done their homework and they don’t have the right intentions. Here are my top five bad reasons to run: • “People are ready for change!” Newsflash: Every new candidate says that every election. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes it’s just perception. If the best you can do is“Hey, I’m new!”… I mean, come on.You need to understand taxation, budgets, financial statements, water, sewer, garbage, road construction, residential/ commercial/industrial development, the role of governance, inter-municipal relations, bylaws, social and economic development, and more. Have you done your homework on this stuff? Do you have informed positions? Do you have proven leadership experience? Have you ever even sat on a board? As a voter, I need to know about what qualifies you for the job and that you get it. Simply representing “change” is woefully inadequate. • “I’m going to clean house!” Uh, no you’re not. If you envision yourself walking into city

hall taking over operations, firing a bunch of people and generally sticking your nose into administration’s business, you’re in for a rude awakening. If you want to manage your town or city, apply for the job. The CAO’s job is management; your role as a councillor is governance. You don’t get to direct the staff.You are not the bylaw officer, the public works foreman or the HR director. In fact, you have only one employee: the CAO. Get a new guy and you still don’t have the right to manage the municipality. Besides, removal would take a majority vote of council and would cost the ratepayers a whole bunch of money. You don’t have to like the manager or any of the staff but as a councillor, you are legally bound to do things properly. (Spoiler alert: You’re going to take an oath to that effect if you get elected.) • “We have to get rid of the current corrupt/ secretive/self-serving/incompetent bunch!” Ah, the ever-popular“anti”campaign. This tactic, sadly, is often successful. It resonates

with coffee klatches and angry people. The problem is that while it may get you elected, it’s a poor foundation for being an effective mayor or member of council. The day after you“get rid”of the last bunch, you have to actually do something.You will have a bunch of important decisions in front of you, stuff that is already in process, that the previous council you thought was so useless was working hard to consider and that perhaps you should have put some time into understanding. Anybody can tear down — tell me what you are going to build. • “I’m going to make fiscal responsibility my No. 1 priority!” This may well be the most irresponsible statement of all. If all you want to do is find ways to save money, then let’s abolish property taxes right now and we can all go home. Yes, fiscal accountability and responsible spending are very, very important. And no one likes paying taxes, me included. see THE RIGHT REASONS, page 11

PoMo challengers, speak up The Editor, Re. “Clay & Royer to face off in PoMo” (The TriCity News, Sept. 5). The civic elections are less than two months away. In my city, Port Moody, only 5,452 votes were cast for the mayor’s position in the last election. Wow, did we pay the price for such apathy. Only 3,112 votes got us a mayor who recently told the newspapers the city

should just “shut” the OCP so that developers can “get on with it.” Why spend more time trying to make sure that we get it right and end up with a delightful and livable city? As taxpayers, we owe the developers and land speculators diddly-squat. As citizens, we owe the democratic process and our city much, much more. Isn’t it worth doing some research to find

someone who does care that we get it right and then vote for that person? Do we want someone who just shakes hands, opens fire halls and reviews parades? Would you prefer someone who would shake things up in council and inspire achieving something more? We already know what the current version of the OCP has done to property values. The document that

Mayor Mike Cay says is only a visioning document has already gone way beyond that. It stands to create some isolated, significant riches for a very select few land holders. Growth makes that inevitable for sure but at what price? Dollars instead of something wonderful and worthy? Come on, challengers, tell us what you stand for. George Elgstrand, Port Moody

Why spend more money for Coq. aquatic study? The Editor, Re. “Gas tax pays for upgrades” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 19). In general, I agree with comments on how this money is being spent. It is actually excessive gas taxes imposed by the federal government and is our money, not “they won’t be on the hook for any of it,” as stated by The Tri-City News. That’s a nice way of

putting it to cover up high gas taxes to residents. In addition, the whopping amount (95% of amount contributed by gas taxes) is going to TransLink for regional transportation. Gulp! But what should disturb taxpayers is the comment concerning the spending of another $40,000 for a consultant to amend the city of Coquitlam’s

The right reason continued from page 10

But the No. 1 responsibility of the councillor is not fiscal responsibility — it is to build community infrastructure for future generations. Shame on you if in five, 10 or 25 years there is no water or sewer capacity, or the roads are falling to pieces, or there are insufficient playgrounds and recreation opportunities because you were busy pinching pennies instead of building a community. There are good councillors and bad councillors everywhere. Some mayors and councillors who should never be in office get elected, and sometimes people are justifiably upset by actions and decisions. I get that. But to the voter: Can we agree to make informed decisions at the polls instead of vilifying the entire group without, in many cases, even a basic understanding of the role, the decisions, the full story? How about those critical thinking skills, gang? Why should you actually run for council? You should run because you wish to serve your community, to provide good leadership, to plan and build for the future.You should run because you have a contribution to make, ideas to be shared, passion that won’t abate and a commitment to do the right thing no matter what.You should run if you understand that you will have to sacrifice popularity and family time, and that you will have to sometimes make decisions that benefit the community as a whole but don’t benefit you personally.You should run if you want a better future for your grandchildren, and your grandchildren’s grandchildren. If any of the five terrible reasons I mentioned frame up your election campaign, take heart, it’s not too late. You can withdraw from the race now and free up a seat for qualified people with proper intent. Or you can reflect on your intentions and set a new course with a commitment to serve your community for the all the right reasons.

Aquatic Infrastructure and Services Strategy adopted in January 2013. This was a long-term strategy and, as usual, there will be some amendments, which could be done by memorandum. Why are the mayor and council even considering this expenditure? Will we be paying similar fees in future with such amendments? Why do we pay such high salaries to man-

COQ.: MARSDEN

A former BC Liberal candidate is aiming for a seat on Coquitlam council. Dennis Marsden threw his hat into the political ring Tuesday, saying his experience with business, health care, minor sports and finance will serve him well at the municipal table. If elected, Marsden vows to fight for no property taxes increases and put a cap on council salaries. He also wants to get the community more involved with citizen-led committee, set term limits for elected officials and create new jobs in the city. Marsden is a past president of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce and treasurer of the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation and ran unsuccessfully against Joe Trasolini in the 2012 Port MoodyCoquitlam byelection.

COQ.: MANDARINO

A Coquitlam resident who has run in previous elections in the city is taking another shot at a council seat. This week, businessman Massimo Mandarino (massimomandarino.com) launched his campaign for councillor, saying in a press release: “I’ve seen the changes and growth in Coquitlam. Therefore, now more than ever before, we

need someone that is best equipped to help manage this growth.” If elected, Mandarino pledges to be “transparent and accountable,” keep the community safe and make Coquitlam affordable. In the 2011 general election, Massimo collected 3,641 votes and placed 15th out of 16 council candidates.

POMO: GLUMAC

Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac announced Wednesday he intends to run for re-election this fall. G l u m a c wa s f i r s t elected in 2011 and said in a press release that he wants to represent PoMo residents as the city transitions with the arrival of the Evergreen Line in 2016. “As the city develops, we need to protect and expand our treasured green and waterfront spaces, look at reducing traffic congestion and focus on building a walkable community and vibrant local economy.” Glumac has chaired the city’s Environmental Protection and Community Care committees as well as the Heritage Commission. He’s also on Metro Va n c o u v e r ’ s Z e r o Waste Committee, the Fraser Health Municipal Government Advisory Committee and the Tr i - C i t i e s R e g i o n a l Transportation Committee.

A retired teacher and former vice-president of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association is running for school trustee in Port Coquitlam. Chris King spent 37 years in the education system as a teacher in elementary, middle and secondary schools as well as being a member of the CTA executive. He said his campaign

will focus on advocacy and greater accountability, and more scrutiny of education spending. “Effective advocacy means speaking out and highlighting the consequences of government cuts to education and to get the public on board,” his press release states. “We have to show that we are spending the money we do have in a careful and responsible way.

Drawing on input to create a vision for Riverview land

Tri-City News Friday, September 26, 2014, A13

Intermediate Care for Seniors

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

The community spoke. The illustrators drew. The third round of open houses for BC Housing’s visioning exercise for the future of Riverview Hospital kicked off Tuesday with some 75 people talking about how the Coquitlam property could take shape. The participants — many of them with the city’s Riverview Lands Advisory Committee, the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society and ArtsConnect — spent several hours with illustrators from the Co-Design Group to describe how they would like to see the 244 acres transformed. Their comments and the illustrators’ drawings were videotaped and observed by BC Housing staff overseeing the yearlong process. Among those at Tuesday night’s workshop at Douglas College were BC Housing CEO Shayne Ramsay; Michael Flanigan (vice-president of development and asset strategies); New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly; former Coquitlam-Maillardville

Architect Stanley King uses markers and a blank canvas to translate people’s vision for Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam. Several illustrators from his Co-Design Group helped to interpret ideas on to paper during workshops at Douglas College in Coquitlam on Tuesday. MLA Diane Thorne; and Coun. Craig Hodge, who chairs the city’s Riverview committee. Attendees were broken into small groups to focus on themes such as potential employment, movement and circulation, recreation, health and wellness, and special events. Next month, those concepts for the evolution of the 102-year-old site can be seen at renewriverview.com; online viewers will also be able

to rate the renderings. So far, feedback from the open houses and online has shown strong support to maintain Riverview as a mental health care hub. BC Housing will host its final round of open houses in December, with its conclusions handed over to the city next year to decide land uses. Coquitlam council has already indicated it wants the grounds used primarily for a health

and wellness centre while BC Housing has said any future development will be done on a “break-even basis.” • BC Housing will host another open house tomorrow (Saturday) at the Centennial Activity Centre (570 Poirier St., Coquitlam), starting at 10 a.m. Registration is recommended by calling 604-216-7057 or emailing questions@renewingriverview.com.

Shaughnessy Care Home is a small, cozy 55 suite residence that offers private rooms in a safe, homelike environment with nationally accredited nursing care.

Vetsâ€™ advocates dig in for long haul at PM museum

â€œ[Trench life] would have been a common experience that everyone would have had in WWI,â€? he said, explaining that trench life was so difficult, 1,000 men died every day through â€œwastageâ€?

But Goheen hopes the trench being built for the museum will provide an eye-opening look into the life of a vet from 100 years ago, and from this, people will learn not to glorify war but to promote peace.

WORK SATURDAY

Last Saturday, volunteers including a group of engineer cadets dug 50 feet of the trench three feet deep and filled 200 sandbags but the work continues, with volunteers needed to help out tomorrow (Saturday) from noon to 4 p.m. Bring work water and work gloves and a willingness to get dirty.

from disease, injury and poor living conditions. â€œIt was vile and disgusting and dirty for people living in these conditions,â€? he said, admitting, â€œThereâ€™s no way of recreating that.â€?

It wasnâ€™t enough to build one trench in Port Moody to depict life for a soldier 100 years ago. Now, a new trench is being built at the Port Moody Station Museum that will be more than double the size of the first one that opened on Canada Day. And the new one will be in place for four years to teach people about trench living conditions and the sacrifice of First World War veterans. â€œThis is going to be a realistic trench system,â€? said organizer and PoMo resident Guy Black, who hopes to have the first phase done in time for Remembrance Day ceremonies in November, with the remaining portions open by spring, and in place to coincide with anniversaries for WWI that lasted from 1914 to 1918. The McKnight Trench, named for Augustus McKnight, a PoMo engineer who died during the war, it will be 70 feet long and eight feet deep. â€œItâ€™s a huge engineering undertaking,â€? said John Goheen, principal of Rochester elementary school, who has won awards for tours of remembrance he leads for the Royal Canadian Legion and who is overseeing the project. â€œWe are going to use the trench as part of their [studentsâ€™] learning,â€? he said. â€œWe want to make it open to schools. â€œItâ€™s nothing to do with glorification of war, itâ€™s all to do with learning, understanding and awareness, and combatting ignorance,â€? said Goheen, who will also be developing the educational materials. The educator said he hopes to shed some light on the experience of WWI vets, most of whom would have spent time in a trench, where mud, lice and rats were as common as lack of sleep â€” although the food was plentiful and rum rations were daily.

Educational programming is planned for the trench at Port Moody Station Museum. The program Life in the Trenches: WWI provides participants an opportunity to explore and identify the factors of trench life during the First World War. Through activities, presentations, discussions and a tour of the trench, the student discovers the daily challenges of life in the trench and gains an appreciation for the contributions these men and women made for Canada. The impact of WWI on Canadian history is explored and discussed, with a focus on peace and remembrance. The cost for the education program is $3 per student for a minimum of 10 students, for ages nine to 17 years.

Purple lights to illuminate challenges of mental health By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

More than 40 landmarks across Canada will be lit up with purple lights across on Oct. 10, World Mental Health Day, including a few in the Tri-Cities. And Carol Todd would like to see many more. The Port Coquitlam teacher, whose daughter committed suicide in 2012, is hoping everyone wears purple or puts up purple lights as part of the Light Up Purple 2014 campaign to spark a conversation on mental health and the need for awareness, support and resources. “World Mental Health Day has been around since 1992 and occurs on the same date each year. This was also the same date that my daughter Amanda passed away,” Todd states in a letter to supporters. “The awareness related to bullying and mental health is a worldwide campaign that is neverending but also needs so much advocating and awareness about. There are many people, both young and old, who are suffering the effects of depression and other effects of men-

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam will be one of the landmarks lit up in coloured lights in support of World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10. This year, more than 40 landmarks in the Tri-Cities and across Canada will sport the colour purple as part of the Light up Purple campaign. tal health. We want to decrease the potential for tragic stories.” Todd’s daughter’s death sparked international outrage against bullies and cyberstalkers, and a suspect in the Netherlands was arrested and charged in April. Coquitlam RCMP have also pressed charges. In the intervening months, Todd started the Amanda Todd Legacy Society, which started the Light Up the World Purple campaign and

“We provide care, respect and dignity in your time of need.” Keith Louw, Funeral Director

is also raising funds for youth mental health programs. Todd hopes that by encouraging groups to decorate in the colour purple on Oct. 10, more people will begin to talk about issues around mental health and suicide. “Mental health is, of course, a topic of conversation that no one really ever wants to talk about. And of course, the media stays clear of deaths related to mental illness. Subsequently, the statis-

tics are something that people aren’t aware of,” Todd said. Among the Tri-City landmarks expected to be illuminated by purple lights on Oct. 10 are the fountain at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam and the Port Coquitlam recreation complex. Other Canadian landmarks include: in Ontario, Niagara Falls and the CN Tower; in B.C., BC Place and Science World; and south of the border, the ferris wheel at the Santa Monica Pier in L.A. and pylons at LAX. The campaign is not just about decorating inanimate objects in coloured lights; individuals are also encouraged to wear purple clothing and make and wear purple ribbons. Light Up Purple is also being promoted on social media, with people encouraged to tweet their purple photos with the hashtag #lightuppurple or email them to amandatoddlegacy@gmail.com. A website has been established listing participants and supporters. It’s available at www. lightuppurple2014.weebly.com. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

‘The sooner we can get on with this the better’: Walton cautioned the plan sought too much, too fast from Ottawa and Victoria and also ruled out the mayors’ preferred funding source: sharing of the existing carbon tax. Alt hough mayors support a longer-range pursuit of road pricing — which could involve regional bridge tolling or per kilometre road use fees — that won’t be among the proposed short term sources as it’s far from being clearly defined and explained to voters. Asked if that leaves the mayors to seek either a regional sales tax, an annual vehicle levy, or both, Walton said he saw “no fault in that logic” but added the deliberations are “still very much in

continued from front page

“No, I don’t think that’s come up,” Walton said. “The sooner we can get on with this the better.” The main challenge, he said, is determining how much TransLink might reasonably expect in contributions from the federal and provincial governments. Mayors in June unveiled a vision proposing $7.5 billion in capital upgrades — two-thirds of it coming from senior governments — for new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver, more frequent SeaBus service and broad improvements in bus service. At that time, Stone

flux.” He admits there will be little time to inform voters before the referendum. Instead of a one-day vote, Walton anticipates a mail-in ballot, perhaps even allowing online voting, that could begin in March but run through the spring, with a final voting deadline that could be as late as June. Walton reiterated the importance of provincial government support as part of a broad coalition for the ‘Yes’ side, noting the harmonized sales tax referendum failed despite provincial support. Although the proposed improvements include a replacement Pattullo Bridge, some mayors still think it will

be a tough sell to get majority support for new taxes that are mainly for improved transit. “A lot of people are going to vote no,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said, noting 85% of residents don’t use transit. He voted against the mayors’ proposal in June, predicting then it was too ambitious and unwinnable, and says the odds may be worsening. “It appears to me there’s some cold feet on the part of the provincial government about being an advocate for the referendum,” Corrigan said. “Without the province behind it and actively supporting it, it’s almost hopeless.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

Developer fined over Burke Mt. pond overflow A developer on Burke Mountain has been fined after Wednesday morning’s heavy rainfall topped a retaining pond known as a check dam and washed gravel down Highland Drive. Companies building on the mountain are required to install the ponds, which are used

to slow the flow of water down the hill and prevent erosion. The city did not release the name of the developer that received the fine before The Tri-City News’ print deadline but confirmed that a $500 ticket had been issued. More than 82 mm of rain fell during

Wednesday morning’s storm and there was enough water to overflow the check dam, resulting in flows of water and gravel onto the road and roadside ditches. Janet Klopp, a longtime Burke Mountain resident, said increased development over the years has led to a deple-

tion of soil in the area. Water is not able to drain properly and in severe weather events flooding is typical. “We get extreme amounts of rain up here,” she said. “It can cause problems, especially now that they are taking off the soil and taking down trees.”

Matty is new chair for Fraser Health Biz exec takes helm as region pushes reform By Jeff Nagel BlACk Press

A Fraser Valley business executive and former nurse is the new board chair of the Fraser Health Authority. Karen Matty will replace Wynne Powell, the chair of the Provincial Health Services Authority, who has served as interim chair at Fraser since the province decided in April to remove then-board chair David Mitchell. Health Minister Terry Lake had said he wanted “fresh eyes” and new leadership as Fraser Health implements the recommendations of a strategic

KAREN MATTY and operational review. The review, which was released over the summer, targeted new ways to cut unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. Lake also raised the possibility of shifting Burnaby into the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority as well as closer collaboration between the two health regions as they work to rebuild St. Paul’s and Royal

Columbian hospitals. Matty has served as a Fraser Health director since 2012 and takes over from Powell at the end of October. Matty’s background includes a career in nursing in Williams Lake and president of Matsqui Developments, a family-owned real estate and lumber business in the Fraser Valley. She received the Order of Abbotsford in 2011 and has served on other boards, including the Abbotsford F o u n d a t i o n , Abbotsford Police Board and University of the Fraser Valley. Fraser Health is still searching for a permanent CEO. Dr. David Ostrow is serving on an interim basis since Dr. Nigel Murray resigned as CEO to return to New Zealand. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Free series provides info for caregivers Alzheimer course runs Oct. 20-Nov. 17 in Coquitlam Caregiving for a person with dementia can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. As the disease progresses, family members may be required to provide different types of support, from assisting with financial decisions to helping with everyday tasks.

eek! spiders! Don’t get creeped out but forests in fall are full of spiders. And you can learn what makes these creatures so fascinating by joining a Metro Vancouver park interpreter for Spying on Spiders on Oct. 4 at Belcarra Regional Park. This program is for ages six and older and costs $8 per person for adults, $4.25 for children, youths and seniors. Advanced registration is required; go to www.metrovancouveronline.org or call 604-432-6359 and use barcode 5888.

“At times this may feel overwhelming,” Lori Kelly, one of the Alzheimer Society of BC’s two local support and education co-ordinators, says in a press release from the society. But there is hope. “By educating yourself about dementia and learning caregiving techniques, you have the ability to maintain quality of life for both you and the person you are caring for,” added Kimberly McKercher, the other Tri-

Cities co-ordinator. That education can begin for Coquitlam families with the society’s free Family Caregiver Series, which runs on five Mondays beginning Oct. 20 and running through Nov. 17 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Glen Pine Pavilion, 1200 Glen Pine Crt., Coquitlam. The sessions provide practical techniques and strategies that caregivers can begin using immediately. Participants will gain an understanding of

dementia, communication and behaviour as a form of communication. Pre-registration is required.

forts to protect the River.

MOSSOM CREEK

Locals deserve credit for efforts

he last Sunday in September has been designated World Rivers Day for the last 10 years. But the history of Rivers Day goes much further back in B.C., dating from the time Mark Angelo, then teaching at BCIT and volunteering with the Outdoor Recreation Council, had the inspiring idea to declare a B.C. Rivers Day in 1980. With a growing public awareness of the need to protect habitat in our rivers, since then, people in B.C. have developed an increasing passion for celebrating our rivers and streams. Blessed with abundant coastal rainfall and a challenging topography that gathers this rainfall into a myriad of watercourses, we have some of the most spectacular and productive salmon rivers in the world. The restoration of local streams has mostly been accomplished through the efforts of a number of volunteers. These important

COQ. RIVER

A major feature in the Tri-Cities is the beautiful Coquitlam River along with a number of smaller streams. Almost all of these watercourses have salmon runs in them thanks in large part to many hours of effort from volunteers who have enhanced fish habitat in local streams and raised public awareness. The Port Coquitlam and District Hunting and Fishing Club was first on

the scene in the 1950s. Back then, some of the Coquitlam’s salmon runs had been needlessly damaged by urban development, gravel extraction and loss of braided channels in the lower river. Members of this club have worked for years with great dedication to restore salmon runs. With considerable support from BC Hydro over the past two decades, its efforts have been hugely successful. Some of the early leadership for this came from people such as Bill

Otway and Al Grist, both now deceased. Thanks to their hard work and the efforts of many others, the Coquitlam River now has healthy runs of pink, chinook, coho, chum and steelhead. BC Hydro continues to support the efforts of Kwikwetlem First Nation and other stream stewards to restore sockeye to Coquitlam Lake. For the past few years, the Coquitlam River Watershed Round Table, with support from local government, has also become a champion of ef-

Back in 1976, Rod MacVicar and Ruth Foster, teachers at Centennial secondary school in Coquitlam, wanted to provide their biology students some boots-on-theground experience with B.C.’s biodiversity. Rod, with an attraction to all things aquatic, believed Mossom Creek on Port Moody’s north shore had much to offer their students in terms of a natural stream that would benefit from a little study and attention. Rod and Ruth thus started the Mossom Creek Hatchery, where innovative programs were developed to teach students how to rear salmon and restore their habitat. An impressive number of their students have gone on to productive careers in fisheries and related fields. Last December, a devastating fire destroyed the much-cherished hatchery but, thanks to countless hours of volunteer labour over the last few months and many generous donations, the Mossom Creek rebuild is well underway.

NOONS CREEK

By the early 1990s, people in the Tri-Cities were beginning to dis-

cover there were a number of neglected urban streams — often right in their own neighbourhoods. This newfound awareness was especially timely as a rapid increase in urban development was associated with the culverting of coho-producing tributaries and loss of the riparian forests which protect water quality. The volunteer-run Noons Creek Hatchery in Port Moody started in 1990, followed soon after by hatcheries at Hyde Creek in Port Coquitlam and Hoy Creek in Coquitlam. Today, the three societies that operate these hatcheries offer annual festivals that celebrate our salmon. On Oct. 24, for instance, residents are invited to attend the annual Salmon Come Home festival at Hoy Creek while, on Nov. 16, the Hyde Creek volunteers host the annual Hyde Creek Salmon Festival.These fall events offer fantastic opportunities to view the large adult salmon that return to spawn in these small creeks.

OTHER CREEKS

While artificial salmon production is not the main goal of these volunteer-run hatcheries, the production of reared juveniles provides some

back-up insurance that restored salmon runs in these creeks will not be accidentally eliminated by polluting spills or erosive landslides. Other volunteers on creeks such as Maple and Como creeks have thoughtfully chosen to focus on stream restoration and public education instead of hatchery production. Regardless of what approach is taken, it all relies on the ongoing efforts of a large number of volunteers in our community. Still, one issue that is often raised by these seemingly tireless volunteers is a concern that new volunteers do not appear to be coming forward to help ensure these programs will continue into the future. When we celebrate our rivers on B.C. Rivers Day, we should also be celebrating these volunteers and thinking about what we can do to ensure their impressive accomplishments will carry forward into the future.

Douglas fundraiser salutes roaring ’20s Annual Class Act fundraiser helps support students When you sip your next cocktail, you might want to consider that they were invented to mask the taste of bootleg spirits during the years of Prohibition. And if you haven’t tasted a Mary Pickford, a Bees Knees or a Scoff Law, you can head over to Douglas College on Oct. 17 for A Class Act, the annual fundraiser to support students. This year’s event — A Taste of the ’20s — includes samplings of six

Prohibition-era cocktails, wine, beer and chocolate, along with live jazz and a chance to compete for live and silent auction prizes. Guests are invited to dress in keeping with the theme. The 1920s were a time of economic growth and major changes in social, artistic and cultural life. Jazz music be-

Amnesty fundraiser Oct. 7 to help Kurds Human rights activists in the Tri-Cities are rallying around one of their fellow Amnesty International members who is appealing for help to provide medical aid to of Kurdish refugees in the Middle East. Mohamad Khademyani lives in Coquitlam but was born and raised in Eastern Kurdistan in northern Iran. He was chosen as a candidate in the local municipal election, according to a press release from the TriCities Amnesty group. “I presented my personal platform in Kurdish,” Khademyani says, adding that he knew he was under surveillance by Iranian intelligence services. “After a few months, I got arrested, [was] brutally tortured and was given a mock execution.” The release states that he spent 95 days in prison without access to a lawyer and, following a trial of sorts, was sentenced to eight years in prison but fled to Turkey after being released for 20 days prior to beginning to serve his sentence. Accepted as an UN-registered refuge, Khademyani was selected

by the Canadian embassy in Turkey and arrived in Vancouver in 2000. Despite facing many challenges in his new country — including the language barrier, cultural shock and unemployment — he reached out to Canadian politicians and human right activists in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to help 12 Kurdish political prisoners under sentence of death. Since then, he has worked to raise awareness and supplies for Kurds forced to flee their homes and who are now packed into refugee camps across the region. He recently reached out to local Amnesty members and, having heard his story, they immediately pitched in. On Tuesday, Oct. 7, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., the group is hosting a pub night at the Burrard Public House, 2414 St Johns St., Port Moody; tickets cost $20 and include a burger and a beverage. All proceeds will be sent to Health Partners International Canada, which is providing medical aid in the refugee camps. For tickets, call 604-9412606 or 604-464-7706.

came mainstream, young women, known as flappers, wore short skirts, drank, smoked and generally flouted social conventions. It was a decade of prosperity and excess after the horrors of the First World War. Technology — cars, telephones, motion pictures and electricity — was changing the way people lived and in most countries, women won the right to vote. Along with this new spirit of excitement and excess came Prohibition, which made it illegal to manufacture, import or sell any type of liquor, although drinking was not illegal. Smuggling liquor

developed into a huge industry and led to the rise of organized crime in major U.S. cities. Local wine consultant John Gerum, put together the tasting menu for A Class Act and Linda Baker of the Chocolate Festival is working with Gourmet Warehouse to offer samplings, information and recipes highlighting the wide variety of chocolate. Students from Douglas’ Hospitality and Marketing programs will be hosts, servers and chocolate ambassadors through the evening. Ticket prices have b e e n ke p t r e a s o n able due to the support

of sponsors such as Canstar Restorations, Konica Minolta, Mott Electric, The Tri-City News and The New West and Burnaby NewsLeader.

Be careful of bears when 4-wheeling in the wild One nice hot sunny day in August found me in the Upper Squamish valley, four wheeling and fishing along the river. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until a fish and wildlife officer pulled up next to my truck, walked over to the river bank to ask me how the fishing was going. I showed him one Dolly Varden trout that was about 12 lbs and told him I hadn’t had a bite for the past hour. He smiled, wished me good luck and warned me to be careful, as there has been bears in the area including a grizzly. I smiled and said thanks. Two minutes after he left, I was looking over my shoulder every thirty seconds. I decided to pack up and try somewhere else. I climbed back into my truck and proceeded down the road. The conditions were very dusty and the narrow logging road was covered in a heavy coating of dust. A short way up the road I

felt a sneeze coming on. I pulled over and proceeded to sneeze. The vehicle windows were down and it was loud enough to echo through the dust covered tall grass to the left of me. To my surprise, a black bear stood up in the tall grass. He must have been two metres tall judging from the height of my truck. The massive bear strained to see through the dust and make out where the noise came from, lifting his noise in an attempt to pick up my scent. I watched him for about a minute although it seemed like an hour had past. As quickly as he popped up, he was down again and out of sight. I wanted to make sure he

was gone before I moved on, so I gave a toot on my horn. Up goes the massive bear again looking around. He was a lot closer this time, so I laid into the horn and revved up my engine. At first he continued to stand tall but soon realized it wasn’t worth the effort to continue. He darted off and I watched him head back towards the river. I continued on the road for another 10 minutes and around a tight corner, still thinking about the bear when all of a sudden I see a big patch of black sprinting in front of my truck. I eased up on the throttle and watched another bear running down the road. He was quite scared

so I gave him lots of room. He jumped off the road and down a steep hill taking out several small trees on the way down. I felt a little sorry for him having to do that. I couldn’t see him anymore but I was sure he was OK. The idea of fishing was suddenly less appealing. After all, two bears in one day were enough. I usually do not see any. The two-hour drive back produced another four bears in different positions along the road. The moral of this story four-wheeling is fun but be careful out there, especially in bear country . . . which is virtually everywhere in B.C. ian.harwood @drivewaybc.ca

top Highline features leather, a bigger 8-inch screen and push-button start. All Jettas come standard with a huge back seat, massive trunk and plenty of room side-toside. This really is a mid-size car starting at a compact car price. Drive: The previous car was recently updated to a full independent suspension and that carries over, as do disc brakes on all four wheels. The big news is a new 1.8L direct injection, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 170hp but an impressive 185 lb.-ft of torque. Speaking of torque, the new TDI diesel engine pumps out a whopping 236 lb-ft of torque and now comes with “AdBlue” exhaust after treatment to improves tailpipe emissions by 40%. Verdict: After driving both the new engines, I’d be hard pressed to choose. I love the torque of the diesel and the impressive efficiency (it is rated at just 6.7L/100km in the city and 4.7L on the highway). But the new turbo gas engine is a more spirited unit that provides a more enthusiastic experience. This engine delivers 8.1L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. If I drove a lot, the diesel would be the way to go. Still in the mix is the old 2.0L 4-cylinder with 115hp offered in all Trendline and Comfortline models. This is a proven engine and offers a great starting price. At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but below the surface is substantial change. The highlights are the new interior and wonderful optional engines. Diesel or gas? – That’s a tough decision. zack.spencer 1 @drivewaybc.ca REV

Volkswagen has had an impressive ride the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars – its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last Jetta was introduced in 2011, it represented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the price to compete right in the heart of Canada’s compact segment, our largest sales category. With a starting price under $15,000, the Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a German car with the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015, VW continues with the same philosophy but ups the ante to include new engines, styling and amenities. Looks: It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker lights, plus xenon headlights are available. The back also receives a minor update that includes a new bumper, trunk and tail lamps. With a starting price of $14,990, the Trendline comes with hubcaps on 15-inch wheels. The mid-level $20,090 Comfortline can be equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels and the $25,490 Highline is fitted with 17-inch alloys. Then there are the TDI diesel versions that range from $22,490 to $27,790. VW has a wide range of prices, equipment and engine choices to suit. The most popular is the Trendline Plus at $17,190 that includes heated front seats! Inside: What isn’t obvious on first inspection is how far the Jetta interior has come unless you know the previous model. It was a practical car but hardly luxurious or even sporty – spartan might be a good word. That has all changed with the 2015 thanks to new switches and dials that looks and feel first-rate. The upper dash on all but the base Trendline is now fitted with soft-touch materials and the base model even comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen that also doubles as a backup camera. Bluetooth is optional on the Trendline plus but becomes standard on Comfortline and above. The

Getting dirty on two wheels in Ganaraska Forest ‘‘

If you look down, your handlebars might do a jig-like dance, and chances are, that’s where you end up: down.

’’

Alexandra Straub

first rodeo in terms of dirt riding, it was in regards to single-track. I could use all the tips and tricks I could get. Furthermore, I could always use a little more practice riding in the sand. Yikes. Day 1 of the two-day adventure consisted of making sure the techniques for single-track riding were fresh in our minds. It’s best just to ignore the trees or whatever hazards engulf you and the bike. Acknowledge them, but don’t stare. Otherwise, your fate will likely be sealed. After practicing in the various loops – there are different areas of their facility that cater to different techniques – it was off to the practice trail. Needless to say, I was not setting any speed records but it wasn’t about speed. That comes with time and experience. It was getting used to the fact that I didn’t have a lot of wiggle room and that my mind would want to play tricks on me if I didn’t relax, let the bike and myself breathe, and enjoy the best that machine and Mother Nature have to offer. Day 2 was a game changer. I was so happy that I did some basic skills the day before because I embraced the various tones and textures of the perpetually evolving geography around me. Rocks, gravel, soil, sand (oh, there was a lot of sand), steep inclines, tree stumps, sharp corners, you name it, the Ganaraska Forest has it. Though I didn’t go at it alone. Groups were organized by skill level and were lead by individuals who know that forest like the back of their hand. Heck, I would have been lost after the first two turns. If you found that throughout the day you wanted a more advanced riding, or wanted to take it easier,

movement between groups was entirely possible. The name of the game there is safety, with fun at an extremely close second. Challenging yourself, your mind, your body and the bike is all part of the package. PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until September 30, 2014.

Ganaraska Forest, Ont. — “Remember, the trees don’t move,” coaches Al Lakas, chief instructor at Trail Tours. These words offer some solace but little consolation to the confines of singetrack riding. Claustrophobia is not a regularly referenced noun in my vocabulary, but when the local fauna and flora of the Ganaraska Forest are a hair’s length from your body, and the trail is inches wider than the handlebars of your bike, it’s hard to ignore. The Medusa-like temptation to fixate on upcoming vegetation must be overcome. If you do happen to focus on them, it could be game over. “Oh, shoot, there’s a stum…” Thud. There goes the front end of your bike and probably you. If you look down, your handlebars might do a jig-like dance, and chances are, that’s where you end up: down. Breathing through the anxiety is one way of conquering the trails. Another is a strong foundation in riding. But the most important of them all: vision. Before heading out onto the over 300 kilometres of trails nestled within the 11,000 acres of Ganaraska Forest, Trail Tours instructor Al gives my riding partner and I a lesson in a much less confining location. Thank goodness. Nestled in the heart of the seemingly limitless dirt biking and motorized vehicle playground is Trail Tours (www.trailtour.com.) It’s just over an hour’s drive east from Toronto and well worth the short-haul journey. After parking the car and walking a few paces through a trail, the world gets a little brighter. Literally and metaphorically. The sinewy trees – well, in comparison to west coast wood – that lead us to home base doesn’t let in a ton of light, so at the end of the trail, where Trail Tour’s open field training facility stands before me, the sun overflows like a perfectly-iced cake (you can never have too much icing.) Also, I’m going dirt biking. How could that not brighten your day? Whether you’re a first timer or an experienced rider, they have a program for you. Though this wasn’t my

And what an incredible way to do it. Trail Tours is open from May until the end of October. Visit www.trailtour.com for more information. alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca

Morningstar Homes will celebrate the grand opening of Robertson Heights in Maple Ridge this week. With six different floorplans to explore and the amazing features that Morningstar is known for, the community is expected to be a resounding success.

The street of dreams at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has had great success with their first Maple Ridge project, The Summit at Grant Hill. Now, they’re branching out with Robertson Heights, which is already garnering a lot of interest in the community. “We are very excited to open this new project,” says Deborah Calahan, vicepresident of sales and marketing for

Morningstar. “It’s a phenomenal value. It’s been a long time since we’ve had product in this price range.” Morningstar will hold its grand opening of Robertson Heights on Sept. 27, starting at noon. Six different show homes have been built, showcasing the six different floorplans available. “This is truly the street of dreams!” Calahan says.

The single-family homes, ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet, will include many of Morningstar’s most popular features. Among them are showcase kitchens with extra-large granite islands, vaulted ceilings and window seats wherever possible and lots of windows making the homes feel big and bright. “Each home looks and feels different,” says Calahan. “There’s something for everyone here.” Morningstar is pleased to offer homeowners a variety of options, including glass stair railings and finished basements. Other choices available are Jack-and-Jill bathrooms as well as one home plan offering either four bedrooms or three bedrooms with

a sitting room in the master suite! Three of the home types include a detached garage, while the other three feature an attached garage. The neighbourhood itself will include a playground and walking trails. “It’s very conducive to raising a family,” says Calahan. “You can have play dates, picnics and all that fun stuff that really ‘makes’ a neighbourhood a home!” Calahan also points out that due to the elevation of the community the homes at Robertson Heights have some beautiful views. Robertson Heights is expected to be extremely popular, and Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register before Sept. 27. Pre-registrants will get an early sneak peek at the homes before the official grand opening at noon. “Homes will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis,” says Calahan. “We’ve already seen huge interest.” Homes at Robertson Heights will start at $439,900 including GST. For more information and to pre-register, visit www. mstarhomes.com. The sales office is located at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge.

The TriCiTies

Canadians certainly love those Dutch bulbs IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

O The TriCiTies ver 116 million Dutch flower bulbs have now made their way into Canadian garden stores, import warehouses and greenhouse coolers. As a matter of fact, Canada is the ninth largest Dutch bulb importing country in the world. I’m sure it would be no surprise if I were to tell you that tulips are the number one bulb we import.You might be interested to hear that gladiolas are right behind and then, way down in quantities but still important, are lilies, hyacinths, narcissus, irises, crocuses, amaryllis, dahlias, freesias and anemones. The high numbers of some of these bulbs may seem rather odd to the home gardener but don’t forget, many of these bulbs such as lilies, irises and freesias are grown-on by greenhouse operators for cut flower production. It is, however, becoming more apparent to me each year that we are overlooking some of the very finest bulbs and they are right under our noses. We tend to overemphasize tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in our gardens, while ignoring other bulbs which are actually better long term investments. A visit to Keukenhof, Holland’s famous spring garden, opened my eyes to the use of minor bulbs. Muscari (grape

Dodgeball league no underdog story Sport that mixes nostalgia and exercise taking off in the Tri-Cities By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NewS

When most people think of dodgeball they picture elementary-aged kids taking a break from writing and arithmetic to blow off some steam in their school gymnasium. But for a group of people in the Tri-Cities, dodgeball is a game reserved not only for the

adults have been meeting in school gymnasiums across the city

every Wednesday night, organized into teams under the banner of the Coquiltam Dodgeball League. “I think we are people that want to recapture that nostalgia,” said Darren Domingo, one of the league’s founders. “People like running around and doing the stuff they did when they were a kid.” Domingo launched the league with friends Mason Foulkes and Mark Williams as an offshoot to the Vancouver Dodgeball League. Back then, 16 teams signed

up, a number that has grown to close to 40 today. While many sports are struggling to draw new recruits, Domingo and his colleagues are even mulling expansion. “We are not really sure yet,” he said. “The big issue is gym space.” The rules are simple: six players take the court from each team and attempt to knock the other teams players out with a ball. The team with the last player standing wins the match. Skill levels vary throughout the league,

but Domingo said CDL is good at making sure that teams are in the appropriate tier. Those that just want to have fun and run around are ranked lower, while the more serious dodgeball players are ranked higher, he added. There’s a website, a schedule and standings and the league wraps up with a one-day playoff tournament at the end of the year. A season begins with exhibition games on Oct. 1 and finishes at the end of January. see ONlY, page 47

“If you are new or not quite as athletic, we have a place for you,” he said. “There are quite a few players that are all across the spectrum.” While the competition can be fierce,

Domingo said there is also a social aspect that has become an important part of the league. Team often meet up after games at various watering holes around the city, getting to know some of the competition off the court. “We really embrace

the community aspect,” Domingo said. “Most players like to come out to the bar after — we have a weekly pub night.” For more information about the league or to register a team, go to www.cdldodgeball.ca. sports@tricitynews.com

A win and a loss for Port Moody Gunners Th e Po r t M o o dy Gunners got things back on track with their first win of the division one soccer season after defeating Delta 2-1 last weekend. The club got on the board when Santiago Vasquez buried a perfectly placed free kick from 25 yards out, before Connor Rogen headed the second goal for he game off a kick from Steve Causier. Delta pushed hard in the second half, scoring in the 65th minute to make it 201. But Gunners keeper Richard Causton held on in net with some outstanding saves to help his club notch the win. Meanwhile, the Gunners premier squad suffered its first loss of the season after a 3-2 decision against Aldergrove united. Junhyung Lee opened the scoring for the Gunners four minutes into the game and the Port Moody squad dominated for most of the first 40 minutes.

a 3-1 early in the second half. A late goal from Port Moody’s Dalibor Plavsic made it 3-2 when the clock finally ran out.

RAIDERS

The Coquitlam Raiders carried the momentum from their first win of the season last week into Sunday’s 32-0 win over the Langley Cowboys. With a strong offensive line consisting of Stephen Bowers and Layeth Begg, the Raiders were able to take an early 18-0 lead with touchdowns from Cole Kashino, Jarrett Chong and a 50-yard TD run for Kaiden Parks. Two more majors in the second half rounded out the scoring. On the defensive side of the ball, Jaden Severy had a strong game along with Zack Kristmanson and Matthew LewHenriksen. The squad will take on the Cloverdale Cougars next Sunday at Mackin Park in Coquitlam. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.
