POCO REC COMPLEX

Saints look at move to Maple Ridge Rec centre work has team mulling its arena options MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

Fans of the Port Coquitlam Saints cheered the BC Junior A Lacrosse League team to its best record in 11 years last season.

But if they want to see whether the team can continue its improvement next season, they’ll have to cross the Pitt River Bridge if Saints’ owner

Reg Thompson gets his way.

Thompson, who started the Saints 23 years ago, wants to move the team to the Cam Neely Arena in Maple Ridge.

A pitch to the league to do just that was rejected by its board of governors in the spring.

Karl Christiansen, the president of the BCJALL, said Thompson didn’t present a strong enough business case for a move to convince 75% of the governors to endorse it.

But Thompson said he’s determined to head east. see COULD THE, page 7

Surrey RCMP are crediting cooperation between police agencies across Metro Vancouver, including Coquitlam, for a drug bust that took more than 34,000 doses of hard drugs off the street.

The six-month investiga-

tion concluded with a press conference Tuesday, in which 48 drug-related charges were announced against five people, with one man still at large.

Approximately 30,000 doses of cocaine and almost 4,800 doses of heroin and fentanyl were seized, police said. see GUNS, DRUGS, page 10

HOUSING & DEVELOPMENT

Tight supply sends home prices soaring Report finds values doubling & tripling in Metro

SPEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page.

DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

If you think the prices for new condos and townhomes being built in Port Moody and Coquitlam are reaching the stratosphere, you’re not imagining things, according to a new report by consulting firm Urban Analytics.

The Vancouver-based company released its second-quarter report for 2017 showing that prices for new multi-family construction are achieving new highs in Vancouver, with the result that buyers are flocking to outlying suburbs such as Port Moody and Coquitlam — and further east — to get their foot in the door.

In some cases prices for condos and townhouses are doubling and tripling over what they were just a few months or years ago, according Michael Ferreira, managing principal of Urban Analytics.

“Port Moody is a great example,” Ferreira told The TriCity News. “You went a long time without any new supply in the market. Once you did see supply, it’s just continued to skyrocket. That has a ripple effect. Coquitlam will go up.

If prices go up in Coquitlam Centre, prices in PoCo will go up. It’s a bit of a ripple effect and a vicious cycle. It continues to push people out where

MARIO BARTEL/TRI-CITY NEWS

New developments in Burquitlam and Port Moody aren’t enough to keep up with demand, according to a new report by Urban Analytics. they can afford and it adds to the traffic problems.”

Using information gleaned from developers and city planning departments throughout Metro Vancouver, the Urban Analytics report shows that there was very little unsold inventory left in already built new projects.

In fact, by the end of June there was only one suite available to purchase in all of the Tri-Cities.

As a result, prices for new multi-family projects just coming on the market are

rising, with a new condominium product released in the Burquitlam neighbourhood selling on average at $820 per square foot. A new wood-frame condominium project launched in the last few months achieved $610 per square foot near Coquitlam Centre and a wood-frame project being built in PoMo is being sold at more than $700 per square foot.

In contrast, a wood-frame building constructed in PoMo, called The Station, launched in 2011 was sold on average at

$420 per square foot, Ferreira said.

“That’s from 2011. You’ve got six years difference, but it’s still a significant increase in pricing since their last project.”

A similar story is being told in Burnaby, where a new condo project launched in Metrotown was being sold for between $1,025 per square foot to $1,100 per square foot, and even in the Surrey City Centre area, prices achieved $775 per square foot, an example of the “irrational pace of price escalation in the market,” the report

states.

The report also goes on to cite rising prices in New Westminster, the North Shore, Ridge-Meadows, Langley/ Cloverdale and South Surrey/ White Rock.

Ferreira said new projects are taking too long to be approved and there is not enough competition to keep prices reasonable. As a result, speculators are moving in, purchasing pre-sale contracts in the hope of flipping the unit to take advantage of price increases.

“It’s a bit of a perplexing situation that we’re seeing,” he said, noting that the foreign buyers tax implemented last year didn’t seem to impact prices.

A fear of “missing out” is propelling buyers — including end-users, parents purchasing for the kids and investors — into the market.

Developers are taking advantage of the situation, he said, by charging as much as they think the market can bear while also, in some cases, paying more than the property is worth and sitting on it until the market is hot enough to build and make a profit.

“They will put a community garden on it, so they don’t have to pay the commercial tax rate, and it’s keeping the product off the market. If they both [city and developers] moved things more quickly we’d see a bit of a different situation in terms of the market,” Ferreira said.

The report suggests this kind of heated market is not sustainable, however it’s monitoring closely several new product launches in 2017, including Platform in Port Moody.

A scan of new developments coming down the pike in Coquitlam shows roughly five townhouse projects in the works, five wood-frame projects and six large condo projects, many with attached rental homes, amounting to well over 4,000 units.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said in an email that the problem of affordable housing is a “massive challenge” that every Metro Vancouver city is facing.

“Right here in the middle of the region, the shortage is quite acute and price increases is a predictable result,” he said.

“Coquitlam is doing all we can to advance the construction of needed housing, particularly around SkyTrain stations, and there are thousands of units in the stream and under construction. We want to ensure that there is sufficient housing for families that are currently trying to find a place to buy or to rent. I wish there were a quick fix and better acceptance for needed development.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

PORT MOODY

Uncertain future for PoMo mobile home residents Property slated for 235-unit rental building MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

Residents of a Port Moody mobile home park face an uncertain future after it was sold to a developer.

PC Urban said it intends to build a 235-unit rental apartment complex on the 1.7-acre site on Dewdney Trunk Road not far from the Inlet Centre SkyTrain station.

PC Urban principal Brent Sawchyn said the company has been in contact with the

BRENT SAWCHYN

MIKE CLAY

seven tenants who still live in the park to advise them of its intentions for the site, but it has not been able to provide a timeline.

“It’s still early days for the

development of our future plans,” Sawchyn said in a statement.

“In the meantime, we continue to operate the site as a mobile home park with the few

Save the Date Crossroads Hospice 24TH ANNUAL Fundraising Gala

remaining tenants in place.”

The provincial Residential Tenancy Act mandates owners of mobile home parks provide a year’s notice to tenants if the park is to be redeveloped, along with financial compensation equivalent to 12 months rent after redevelopment is approved by a city.

When it does come time for those tenants to vacate the property, they may have a hard time finding a new location for their mobile homes, said Al Kemp, the executive director of the Manufactured Home Park Owners Alliance of B.C. that represents about 375 of the 1,000 mobile home parks in the province. He said the average vacancy rate in the B.C.’s

mobile home parks is about half a site.

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said there’s little the city can do for the park’s residents at this point.

“It’s a private land deal,” Clay said. “What happens between them is really not much of the city’s business.”

But as the project moves forward, the city may be able to leverage accommodation for those tenants as part of the site’s rezoning process.

“That’s where we have an opportunity to negotiate and flex what power we have,” Clay said.

In 2006, the city of Coquitlam adopted a policy requiring mobile home park

owners to have a re-settlement plan in place for all residents that would be displaced by redevelopment before the property is rezoned. The policy also requires a residential developer to provide an affordable housing option for tenants who want to remain at the site.

Clay said Port Moody has learned some valuable lessons from previous redevelopment projects of mobile home parks in the city.

“Where we have an opportunity to be involved, we can say, ‘Hey, what are you going to do with those people on the street?’” mbartel@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

Oliver Podwysocki wants to win a class set of iPads to help his students learn English.

But the Port Moody secondary school teacher’s real goal is to improve communication between people so everyone will understand each other better.

Learning languages is Podwysocki’s passion. He learned French at PMSS when he was a late French immersion student over a decade ago.

He honed his Chinese language skills teaching in China for a year. Now he’s studying Vietnamese, his mother’s native language, Polish that his dad speaks and plans on adding Japanese to the mix.

“I want to be able to communicate with people,” said Podwysocki.

Helping him is a free language app called Duolingo, which Podwysocki said makes it easy to learn a new language, and he wants to introduce it to his class if he can win a set of iPads.

He’s entered Duolingo’s Back to School contest for teachers and is encouraging people to vote on his application and share his contest bid on Facebook. (Visit his

Facebook page to vote; the contest closes Sept. 3).

For Podwysocki, who also teaches drama and dance at the Port Moody high school, communication is key to breaking down barriers and helping his students make new friends.

Duolingo will help, he said, because he can use it to monitor his students’ progress and there are many elements students can use to improve their language skills.

He remembers how lost he was in his first few months in China when he couldn’t talk to people or even know which washroom to visit because the signage was in Chinese characters.

His own ESL students will face similar challenges when

they start school in September.

“I put myself in their shoes. I know what it’s like.”

However, if international students become confident in their English language skills they’ll be able to enjoy Canada more, learn about the culture and when they go home “they’ll be proud to put on the Canada flag,” Podwysocki said.

At the same time, he can get to know his students better if they can converse.

PMSS has one of the most diverse student populations in School District 43, with Podwysocki expecting to teach students whose first language is Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic starting in September.

“I’m proud of that,” he says.

250 species counted during 2017 BioBlitz DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

From ocean to forest and meadow, no stone was left unturned to find and count the numerous species of plant, animal, fish and insects that inhabit the Mossom Creek watershed.

Despite the dry weather, which kept many creatures hidden, as many as 250 species were identified by scientists and naturalists on the weekend while members of the public took part in walks and interpretive talks to learn about them.

The event — BioBlitz 2017 — is a citizen scientist initiative that is taking place across

Canada, and was an opportunity for people to learn about the diversity of species in Port Moody.

“This provides a really interesting picture of what’s going on in the area,” said Pam Zevit, a special project coordinator for the South Coast Conservation Program, who will be tabulating information on the iNaturalist site that will be available for public viewing.

This is Zevit’s fifth BioBlitz and one of the most enjoyable because it was close to where she lives and gave her an opportunity to learn more about the watershed.

Among the interesting creatures spotted were three species of bats, a red-listed species

of moss called Brotherella and a Scaphinotus, a snail-killing beetle.

Zevit said scientists walked the creek, peeking into the water and into the forest to check on wildlife. They saw a bear as well as coastal tailed frogs and mink.

Scientists also used a seine net to catch marine life and count them.

“I think for me what stood out was the diversity of habitats in that area and of course seeing them so close to an urbanized area with a large population.”

The owner of the PoCo Saints Junior A lacrosse team says construction of the new PoCo rec complex is making it difficult for his team’s fans to get to games and that’s costing him money.

MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS

POCO REC COMPLEX

Could the Saints go marching out? continued from front page

“They’re not going to shut me down,” Thompson said. “If I have to shut down the league and drag the whole thing through court, I will.”

Thompson said he’s frustrated by the ongoing construction of the new PoCo rec complex that is making it difficult for fans to get to games.

Construction on the $132-million complex, which will include three new ice rinks, a leisure pool and a refurbished Terry Fox Library, started in March and is expected to take until 2021.

Thompson said excavation and demolition work created challenges for people trying to access the current rec centre during the final weeks of the BCJALL season and for the Saints’ playoff games in May. As a result, Thompson said, the team didn’t earn enough revenues to cover its bills and he had to cough up the difference from his own pocket.

“We usually gauge our success financially on our gate,” Thompson said. “Our gate usually pays our rent but this year we came up $4,700 short.

That has to come from me.”

Lori Bowie, the director of recreation for the city of Port Coquitlam, concedes there

have been challenges with things like parking and way finding. But those are being addressed and will be further improved with more signage and better communication.

On Aug. 17 the city even hosted a community barbecue at the rec centre to reinforce the message it’s still open and to orient visitors through the facility and to parking.

“I think everybody is well aware that there are some things that aren’t going to be perfect, but we’re focused on the end game,” Bowie said.

Thompson is also worried how his team and its spectators will be accommodated as the phased project moves forward.

The existing Blue Arena has a seating capacity of 350, while the Green Arena holds 250.

Bowie said seating configurations for the three new arenas are still being fine-tuned, but the first arena will have a capacity of 150 to 250 spectators and the second rink will be “very visible” from the concourse area.

She said the city is exploring options for additional temporary seating until the 800-seat “spectator arena” is opened in 2020.

Coun. Glen Pollock, the representative for Port Coquitlam city council on the stakeholder

group for the rec complex project, said there’s been plenty of consultation with user groups to accommodate their needs.

“I think we’ve been very forthright,” Pollock said, adding when the facility is finished “it will be a tremendous upgrade” for the Saints.

But Thompson isn’t sure his bank account can wait.

The retired auto-body man said it costs $35,000 to 40,000 a year to run the team. Most of that money comes from sponsorship, players’ fees and ticket sales.

If people don’t come to the games because they can’t find their way around the construction, there will be no reason for sponsors to support the team, said Thompson, who estimates the venture he calls his “hobby” has already cost him $240,000 of his own money over the years.

He remains steadfast in his determination to pull up stakes from Port Coquitlam. In fact, personally he already has; he bought a condo in Maple Ridge last year and now he wants to bring his team with him.

Thomspon said he’ll make another pitch to the league’s board of governors this fall.

“I don’t want the governors telling me where to spend my money,” he said.

DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Brandon Monahan’s love for books and woodworking have come together in a unique effort to bring library services to the community.

The Terry Fox Library employee recently built a book chariot out of cedar and copper that can carry books and other materials to parks and festivals in the city.

On Wednesday, when The Tri-City News spoke to Monahan, he was using the chariot to display books and library services at the PNE. “People were definitely intrigued by it for sure,” said Monahan who, with the Fraser Valley Regional Library, was participating in Public Library Day at the PNE. The idea for a book chariot that can be pulled by a bike is not new. Monahan said other libraries have a similar contraption. But none are likely as detailed and exhibit such craftsmanship.

Monahan learned woodworking skills while attending Capilano College (now Capilano University) and likes to tinker away at home.

He built the chariot from a children’s bike trailer frame

Brandon Monahan, who works at the Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam, with the book chariot he built to bring library services to parks and festivals. but added cedar boxes that can be used as book stands and also hold bins of books and materials. Copper detail was added to give the chariot an elegant touch.

The chariot can also be taken apart and folded up to fit in a car.

“It’s really catching people’s eyes. They stop and stare at it,” said Monahan, who plans to attend the Port Coquitlam farmers market and visit Lions Park for story time.

Part of the reason for the mobile book chariot is to remind people that the Terry Fox Library is still open and welcoming customers while the recreation centre construction is ongoing.

In two years, the library expects to move into phase one of the new facility. In the meantime, the door has been repositioned next to the statue of Terry Fox, while parking is available on side streets.

CRIME

Guns, drugs seized in major Surrey bust continued from front page

Six weapons, including two loaded handguns, body armour, a stolen vehicle, stolen identity cards, cash and materials used for drug processing were also found.

Police say the seizure will have a “significant impact on this criminal network’s ability to distribute illicit drugs.”

The investigation involved four search warrants being executed — two on Aug. 16 and two on Aug. 17 — in South Surrey, Guildford, Langley and Delta and required extensive intelligence and teamwork from Delta Police, Coquitlam RCMP and integrated units including the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Police Dog Services (PDS), according to a spokesperson.

“Thanks to cooperation and intelligence sharing between all police forces in the Lower Mainland, it really helps us forward investigations in many different ways,” media relations officer Cpl. Scotty Schumann told The Tri-City News.

Although Coquitlam RCMP couldn’t specify details about the investigation, Cpl. Michael McLaughlin was able to confirm that the Coquitlam RCMP’s Drugs and Organized Crime Section assisted with the file.

Taking such a high quantity of drugs off the street will curtail the drug trade for a short time, added Surrey RCMP’s Schumann.

“The immediate impact will be all of a sudden their suppliers don’t have any drugs and they’re in jail. We all know that somebody else will step in and

Dominic Graham Robert Lastoria, a 28-year-old man of no fixed address, has been charged with 11 counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. fill the demand in short order.

Certainly we’re not going to discontinue our enforcement,” Schumann said. “These drug dealers were running drug lines throughout the Lower Mainland, not just Surrey. It will have an impact across the Lower Mainland similar to the large bust in Vancouver last week.”

In the Vancouver bust, four Vancouver men were charged as a result of an operation called “Project Tariff” that began in early March after shots were fired at police in a standoff in southeast Vancouver.

As well, eight guns and more than two kilograms of illegal opioids were seized.

Meanwhile, in the Surrey case, five people are facing a total of 48 charges in connection to the busts, all of whom were previously known to police for drug trafficking: 34-year-old Bradley Thomas Antrobus of Surrey faces two

charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and six firearms related offences; 28-year-old Wyatt Kyle Costain of Surrey is charged with six counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking; 35-year-old Trevor Desjarlais of Surrey faces 11 counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and seven firearms related offences; and 22-yearold Reanna Grace Kolakovic of Surrey is charged with five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Costain is a Provincial Tactical Enforcement Priority (PTEP) target, which is the multi-agency law enforcement information-sharing strategy that coordinates intelligence related to gang and organized crime targets.

Schumann said Costain were located thanks to the help from PEI RCMP. “He was in PEI and because of the officers’ diligence in the PEI RCMP, they spent a lot of time tracking him down and helping us arrest him,” he added.

One suspect has not yet been located by police: Dominic Graham Robert Lastoria, a 28-year-old man of no fixed address, who has been charged with 11 counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking.

Lastoria is described as a white man, five feet five inches tall, 130 pounds with blond hair, blue eyes and a slender build.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS. — with files from Diane Strandberg

Closures expected on Crunch & Interlaken The popular Coquitlam Crunch Trail and the Interlaken Trail in Mundy Park will see some maintenance over the next few days, requiring some short-term closures.

From now until Sept. 1, there will be intermittent closures on the Interlaken Trail between 7 a.m and 3 p.m. to permit resurfacing of the trail from the west perimeter trail

to the waterline. Watch for barricades and signage.

On Tuesday, Sept. 5, the staired section of the Coquitlam Crunch trail, between the two Lansdowne Drive crossings will be closed for routine vegetation clearance and general maintenance.

The closure will be between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. and signage notifying users of the

closure will be posted along the trail.

Work in both parks is necessary to keep the popular trails clear and safe for users, according to the city of Coquitlam’s parks department.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Uber politics G

reen Party leader Andrew Weaver is hoping he’ll be lucky the third time he’s introduced legislation to bring ride-hailing services to B.C. He’s not likely to be greeted with much support from the NDP-side of the legislature because the party is cautious in its approach and may have won a few seats in Surrey for promising to slow down the introduction of Uber and Lyft without a level playing field for cab drivers.

Still, Weaver will likely have the BC Liberals on his side for this initiative as the previous government promised to allow ride-hailing to operate in B.C., with the promise of relaxed licensing rules and the money for an app.

Although bringing Uber to B.C. was not a game-winning strategy for the BC Liberals, there are no doubt many consumers who would like to see a ride-hailing service to augment taxis and transit.

This will be an interesting test for the new government.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE RIDE-HAILING SERVICE LIKE UBER AND LYFT COME TO B.C.?

Friendly reminder: hatred is very, very bad I

can’t believe I have reason to write these words, but it appears there is still some confusion in some people’s minds.

So here goes: Nazis are the bad guys. White supremacy, the ideology that led Nazis to commit horrible atrocities, is bad. The “alt-right,” basically a rebranding of white supremacy, is bad.

If someone is morally bankrupt enough to support or align themANDY PREST selves with white supremacy groups, with Neo-Nazis, with the Ku Klux Klan, with the alt-right, then they are — and excuse my tough language here — no-goodniks.

Phew, what a strange sensation it is to write those words — words which up until quite recently seemed quite unnecessary.

These are unassailable truths. However, last weekend a white power rally — the largest in the U.S. in several years — was held in Charlottesville, Va., with protesters and counter-protesters making their opinions known.

The white power guys showed up with matching polo shirts and hardware store tiki torches, earning well-deserved derision for what looked like the world’s crappiest luau. But something more sinister was at play, and events turned much more tragic the next day when the two sides clashed, culminating in a white supremacist ramming his car through a crowd of people, killing a woman named Heather Heyer and wounding several others.

For most of the world it was yet another indictment of the hatefilled white supremacist movement and the violence that results from their open and stated goal of wiping large populations from the face of the earth. For some, however, there was debate about who was at fault. Included in that number was the president of the United States. Donald Trump’s remarks were widely criticized by people from all walks of life and all political stripes, although they did win praise from a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

I’m not going to debate Trump calling them “very fine people”.

We’re all flawed in some way. The contrast, however, is in what white supremacists are fighting for. They believe they are superior to others based solely on the colour of their skin and they wish to expel, do harm to, or even exterminate other groups of people from their lives.

On a more specific level, in this instance, people were fighting to preserve the placement of a statue of a Civil War general, a monument to a time when white people owned, bought and sold black people like property.

On the other side were people motivated by the simple goal of stopping white supremacism.

Was the Second World War so long ago that some have completely forgotten the history? I haven’t. My grandfather left his home in Saskatoon when he was 17 years old, lied about his age to do it so that he could go to Europe and fight against Nazis, whose doctrine of white supremacy led them to commit horrible atrocities against millions of people, Jewish people in particular. And now, some 80 years later, hundreds of dudes in polo shirts are marching with garden candles chanting “Jews will not replace us!”

There’s no “both sides” here. This isn’t about Republican or Democrat, rich or poor, left or right. This is about love and hate.

There’s only one side for me. Call me old-fashioned — narrow it down to the year 1939 if you like — but I’m siding with my grandfather.

ON THE ROAD

Let private insurers take over for ICBC The Editor, Re: “Major changes are required, but ICBC can still be salvaged” (Opinion, The TriCity News, Aug. 16).

You make the case that ICBC can be saved but it will require a new perspective on driving and auto insurance, but provide no rationale as to why ICBC should be saved.

What is the societal imperative that makes it necessary for good drivers to subsidize premiums for bad or inexperienced drivers? Furthermore, as a society, we are trying to encourage citizens to take transit more often and give up the car, so why do we want to subsidize any driver?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to let private insurers decide what premiums reflect driver risk and take the apparent $3.7 billion in ICBC equity and use it to fund more transit options?

If private insurance ends up being more expensive (not a given), it will have the same

Early telegraph lines a part of our heritage The Editor, Now that we are celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday, few people realize the important part played by the telegraph.

It acted as the first means of communication between Eastern and Western Canada and helped keep our country together.

The first telegraph line in B.C. came up from San Francisco. Governor James

Douglas was afraid the Americans were going to take over B.C., so he pressured the British to build a telegraph and railway line across Canada, which initially terminated at Port Moody.

The telegraph has been rated among the top ten inventions of mankind, yet I was asked by a teenager if this was a new type of rap music.

Another young lad wouldn’t

believe me when I told him that people once communicated by Morse code.

It’s quite obvious that the history of the telegraph and how it changed our country’s method of communication is no longer taught in schools.

It looks like this important part of our Canadian history will be lost forever.

IN THE GARDEN

Time to start preserving summer’s bounty MARKET FRESH

KALE SALAD WITH APPLES & CHEDDAR

KAREN CURTIS

H

ard to believe this is my last column before school goes back!

What a summer it has been.

Even with the late, wet start to the growing season we are all caught up and markets are at their peak. With the exception of the winter squashes, there isn’t anything you can’t get right now. From apples to strawberries and beans to zucchini, the vendors are overflowing with goodness.

My fondness for corn is well documented in this space, so it makes sense for me to chat about it. I have already eaten a substantial amount off the cob so now it’s time to preserve some. All you need is a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the cob. There are gadgets available to make it easier, but a knife really does work. Once you have the kernels off the cob, put them in freezer bags and pop them in the freezer.

Then the corn is ready to heat up and take you back to

• 4 cups very finely chopped or slivered curly kale or Russian kale (about 6 ounces on the stem or half of a 3/4pound bunch, stemmed and washed in two rinses of water) • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped toasted almonds • 1 apple, sweet, like a Fuji, or a sweet-tart, like a Gala, Braeburn or Pink Lady, cored and cut in 1/4-inch dice • 1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, cut in 1/4-inch dice (gouda from Cheesecrafters was what I used) • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (Of course I use KICS!) • Salt to taste • 1 very small garlic clove, puréed • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Combine the kale, almonds, apple and cheddar in a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, salt, garlic and olive oil. Add to the salad, and toss well. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top, and serve.

the hot days of summer. My favourite way to use it is in a corn chowder. Sauté some chopped onion and garlic, add a bit of bacon or ham, corn and diced potatoes. Cook it for a few more minutes, then add three to four cups of chicken or vegetable broth and simmer till the potatoes are done. Finish with a bit of cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Freezing is an easy way to preserve the bounty if you have the freezer space. A quick wash and a bit of prep is all that is needed to store tomatoes and kale. I have these on hand all the time for sauces and

smoothies. All the tomatoes need is to have the core removed, then pop them in a bag for the freezer. When you need them, simply thaw and add to your sauce. They will break down on their own.

Kale is great in the freezer. I usually wash it, take it off the stem and squish it into a bag.

Once frozen, it gets all crumbly and takes up very little room. I add it to my daughter’s smoothie every morning, along with all the berries I washed and put in bags, too.

My smoothie recipe is so easy.

Fruit, kale, chia seeds, plain greek yogurt, egg whites and

water. If you want a sweeter smoothie, simply replace the water with juice. This one is high protein, and high fibre.

I also like to add the frozen kale to frittata muffins. These are super easy grab and go breakfast muffins that I make up and freeze. Simply sauté some chopped onions and kale in a bit of oil. Place the mix evenly divided, into greased muffin tins. Add a bit of grated cheese , then fill with beaten egg. Bake at 375 degree for 15 minutes or so, until the eggs are set.

Here is one last food preservation idea that will help to make mealtimes a bit faster and easier. Did you know that you can freeze caramelized onions? If you have these on hand, you can add them to soups, omelettes, sandwiches — the list is long. Now is a great time to do this, before the sweet onions are all gone. All you need to do is thinly slice, or dice, 10 to 12 large onions.

Never say Die, Red Barn and Ripple Creek all sell sweet onions. It sounds like a lot, but they will cook down considerably. Sauté them over low heat, in a good bit of butter or olive oil, until they are a lovely deep brown. Then freeze them in a ziplock bag. If you lay them out in a thin flat layer, you can break off whatever your recipe calls for.

Happy cooking!

SCAM ALERT

BBB tips for back-to-school shopping Stay away from online shopping scams this year

ads from social media sites, which may be click-bait ads that pull the person out of a social media site and requests personal information.

With temperatures still soaring and lazy summer days lasting well into the evening, it’s hard to comprehend the need to consider sending the kids back to school.

However, reality does need to set in now and then and there are things parents must consider when breaking out the plastic for their child’s triumphant return to the next grade.

“Online shopping scams are one of the riskiest according to BBB’s Risk Index,” said Evan Kelly, senior communications advisor for BBB’s Mainland BC branch. “With so many people choosing the online route these days, we simply need to

BBB TIPS:

do our due diligence and make sure we are shopping on reputable websites. Kids especially love to get the latest and greatest must-haves for school, so we want to make sure you are shopping on safe sites.”

He added that shoppers should make sure they are shopping from legitimate dealers. An encrypted website should have the https:// and lock icon in the URL. People should avoid flashy pop-up

• Do your research. An unknown website may offer a similar product at a lower price. The lowest price isn’t always the best route. Check for user reviews and badges for consumer protection agencies.

• Be extremely wary of any website or store that asks for your child’s personal information in order to access special deals.

• Read the fine print.

Understand return policies, particularly on sale items.

• Google the website’s name and the word “scam” to see if anything pops up. You can do this for pretty much anything

you’re buying.

• Never pay with a money transfer.

• Use third-party pay portals such as PayPal, and use your credit card.

• Order back to school things early so your kids have the things they want when school starts.

• Read user reviews of Amazon sellers.

• Check your credit card statements often.

Kelly said there are many things people should consider.

Many parents don’t realize that a child’s Social Insurance Number is valuable to those committing ID theft. No parent wants to discover that their child has a poor credit history due to ID theft and has never even had a bank account.

• Don’t allow them to carry around their social insurance number. Leave it at home and

locked in a safe place. In fact, there is no reason you need to carry your own SIN around.

• If a business or school asks for their SIN, ask questions.

Why do they need it and where and how is this information being stored? How long is it being stored and how will it be terminated? Who has access to it?

• Registered Education Savings Plans are a great way to ensure you have money for your child’s post-secondary education, however opening an account with a SIN can leave a child vulnerable to ID theft should the system be hacked. Only deal with reputable companies that offer RESPs in their portfolio.

• Educate your child on being safe if they are active in the online world. Keep detailed personal information off of social media profiles.

Back to School BACK 2 SCHOOL

Treat kids to lunches that meet all needs School lunch may seem like a relatively easy concept for parents to master. However, day in and day out, enterprising moms and dads grow anxious over what to put into kids’ lunch boxes or bags.

Parents have foods they want their kids to eat, and then there are foods their gradeschoolers will actually consider. Schools may also place limitations on what kids can bring to school due to allergies or school rules on sweets versus healthy foods. Then there’s the packaging itself. Parents may weigh the benefits of everything from clever accessories to eco-friendly materials.

Removing school lunch stress is easy. Once these steps are conquered, sending children off to school with acceptable meals becomes that much easier.

FOODS

Keep a running list of musthave foods to stock the pantry.

This will make it easier when

it’s time to go shopping. Picky eaters may return again and again to familiar comfort foods. As long as the child is getting enough vitamins and growing, there should be little issue in letting him and her eat the same foods day in and day out. Because parents cannot police what their children eat at school, it’s better to devote time to introducing new foods during breakfast or dinner.

Involve kids in some of the food decisions, especially since they are the ones eating the lunch at school. Certain foods may not keep well or become less appealing after sitting in backpacks until lunchtime.

Respect kids’ input and try to make some changes accordingly.

Hint: Take advantage of the new trend of Buddha Bowls and make your own with your child allowing them to select from an assortment of ingredients.

The way foods are presented can improve the dining experience. Just ask professional chefs who go to great lengths on creative “plating” in restaurants. Children who are fussy about foods touching might enjoy one of the economical (and eco-friendly) designs of reusable bento boxes, which separate foods into different sections. They also help parents pack perfect portion sizes for healthier eating habits.

Snack and food containers now come in colourful and clever designs that appeal to the toy-lover in most kids. Also, lunch gear manufacturers are thinking outside the sandwich to offer pouches and baggies that are leak-proof so that smoothies, soups and yogurts can be enjoyed during lunch, too.

! p U e New Student Registration M n Sig On Tuesday, September 5, over 32,000 students in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody (including the villages of Anmore and Belcarra) will be returning to school. School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) welcomes all students and wishes all of them the very best for the year ahead.

If you are new to the area or have moved over the summer, registration for new students will take place in public schools the week of August 28. To register, bring proof of citizenship for parent and child (e.g. birth certificate, PR card, passport) and proof of local residency to your local catchment area school.

Non-residents can contact the International Education Department 604-936-5769 for more information.

HOCKEY

App gets BCHL ahead of concussions Interactive tool ensures trainers follow protocols MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

An app on a phone or tablet will ensure players on the Coquitlam Express aren’t returning to the ice with a possible concussion after they’ve suffered a blow to the head.

The BC Junior Hockey League has signed a service agreement with HeadCheck Health Inc., a Canadian company that created the app.

Harrison Brown, the CEO of HeadCheck, said while the company’s software is being

used by more than 150 teams, from minor to university, in all sports from hockey and football to frisbee and cheerleading, the BCHL is the first league to adopt the app for all its teams.

That will ensure a consistent quality of care for every player in the league, Brown said. It also means the league itself will be able to monitor the compliance of all its teams and their trainers to its concussion protocols.

“It’s objective,” Brown said.

“It assures everybody is doing the exact same thing.”

And, ultimately, that’s better for the health of the players, whether they’ve been concussed or not.

“Player safety is of utmost

importance to the BCHL,” said the league’s commissioner, John Grisdale. “Our athletic therapists will now have instant access to a reliable concussion assessment tool during practices and games in order to make appropriate sideline medical decisions.”

Keeping the tool simple to use and making it interactive are keys to its acceptance by the trainers and players, Brown said.

“We built the product with athletic therapists to make their lives easier, to allow them to do a test quicker and get to a decision quicker,” Brown said.

“The players enjoy it because it’s kind of a cool app, they can interact with it, they can track their symptoms.”

DENTURE WEARERS! COME IN AND RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION AND DENTURE CARE PACKAGE FREE!

The app consists of a series of tests that can help a trainer measure a player’s balance, cognition and memory.

Prior to the season, every player is tested to create a baseline against which their scores on those tests can be compared if the player suffers a blow that could have caused a concussion.

The results of every test, and the circumstances of any blow to the head, help build a database of a player’s concussion profile that can help inform treatment plans. The data can also follow the player as they change teams or leagues or even sports.

Once a player has recovered from a concussion and is cleared by a medical profes-

sional to play, that clearance note is also uploaded to the player’s profile as confirmation to the league that no player on the ice is skirting concussion protocols.

Brown said implementing the app in the BCHL goes beyond just training athletic therapists on its use. It also includes educating players, coaches and members of the community to recognize the symptoms of concussion.

That’s one of the reasons retired NHLer Kyle Wellwood decide to invest in HeadCheck.

He saw a lot of players put their livelihoods and lives at risk to stay in the game after suffering a blow to the head during his 489-game career in the NHL. “It’s great to see BCHL act

as a leader in player safety by making concussion awareness, education and assessment part of the league protocol,” Wellwood said.

Brown said attitudes about concussions are changing. The days of asking an athlete for their name, or day of the week, to determine if they’re still able to play after a blow to the head are diminishing. And athletes are becoming more accepting of a concussion diagnosis.

Apps like HeadCheck are speeding that process.

“Whenever we talk to somebody about concussions, we try to make it very positive,” Brown said. “It’s socially acceptable to be concussed and to be vulnerable.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

Arrows a wake-up call for Adanacs BCJALL champs in tough for defence of national title MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Six unanswered goals in the second period by the Six Nations Arrows was the difference as the Ontario Junior A lacrosse champions put the defending Minto Cup national champion Coquitlam Adanacs up against a wall with a 9-4 win Wednesday in Brampton, Ont. Six Nations leads the bestof-five series two games to none after they also won the opener on Tuesday, 12-7.

Game Three was Thursday (after The Tri-City News deadline).

Adanacs’ coach Pat Coyle said playing Six Nations has been a bit of a wakeup call for his team that only lost two games before they packed their bags for Ontario. In three meetings so far in the Minto Cup, they’ve

yet to defeat the Arrows.

“You realize how good they are,” Coyle said. “They are a good team from top to bottom.”

Coyle said the Adanacs’ dominance in the BC Junior A Lacrosse League may also be working against them.

“It’s tough when you’re not as challenged as much during the year,” Coyle said.

“It feels like we’re fighting for our lives here.”

Wednesday, the Adanacs actually held the lead against Six Nations for the first time in their three meetings.

Dennon Armstrong and Chase Scanlan staked Coquitlam to a 2-0 advantage before Cory Highfield of the Arrows cut the lead in half heading into the first intermission.

It was after the break the Adanacs’ came unravelled.

Six Nations’ Austin Staats scored his first of three goals in the period at 4:11 to tie it and less than two minutes later the tournament’s leading scorer Tehoka Nanticoke netted his 13th goal to put the Arrows in front for good.

By the time the middle period was done, Six Nations was up 7-2.

Coyle said his team just hasn’t been able to penetrate the tough Arrows’ defence.

“Their defence is pretty deadly,” Coyle said. “When you’re scoring only four goals, you’re not going to win many games.”

While the teams played the third period on even terms, as each scored twice, Coyle said his team needs to do more.

“You find out what you’re made of,” Coyle said.

• Going into the series, Coyle said he expected it would be a battle of goaltenders. He didn’t expect his goalie, Christian Del Bianco, would also be one of his team’s offensive leaders.

Del Bianco scored a goal and added three assists in the Adanacs’ 12-7 loss in the first game of the final.

The Simon Fraser University men’s soccer team is ranked no. 13 heading into the 2017 season, but expectations for the team as it opens training camp are much higher.

“Our goal is always to win a national championship — always,” Clan head coach Clint Schneider said.

“There is a lot of pressure that comes with that expectation but I think that we have a group of guys and a coaching staff that embraces this.”

A large contingent of that group comes from the TriCities.

Of the six starters returning from last year’s team that won its fifth Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) regular season championship, two key returnees are Coquitlam’s Adam Jones and Port Moody’s Kyle Jones.

Adam, a graduate of Dr. Charles Best secondary school, combined with mid-fielder Mamadi Camara for 19 goals last season and was named GNAC and West Region player of the year as well as an NCAA All-American.

Kyle, who’s also a graduate of Best, was the Clan’s busiest centre mid-fielder. He was also named to the GNAC’s second all-star team.

Another Charles Best grad, Marcello Polisi, was expected to be an impact defensive midfielder in his freshman season last year, but he missed the entire campaign because of injury. Back to full health, he’s expected to share duties with junior Brendan Shaw.

Coquitlam’s Michael North, a graduate of Archbishop Carney, is being shifted from the attacking position he played in 2016 to a more defensive role at left back.

“He’s kind of an athletic specimen and we want to take advantage of his skills,” Schneider said.

Of the new recruits that made their way up Burnaby Mountain from Coquitlam, Joey Mijalijevic, Christopher Guerreiro and Matteo Polisi are all competing for minutes on the pitch.

“Some of these guys are going to have to step up and play right away,” Schneider said. “They know that it’s very competitive and that’s why

they came here. They didn’t come here just to have a walk in the park.”

Schneider said his team has the components to go farther than last year’s upset loss in the second round of the NCAA post-season tournament.

“I think we do have a group of guys who can do something special,” Schneider said.

The Clan open their regular season Aug. 31 at Terry Fox Field against the University of Mary.

HAKEEM A KEY

Freshman defender Nadia Hakeem, a Gleneagle secondary grad, will be a key component of the SFU Clan women’s soccer team improving on its fourth-place finish last year in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

Hakeem has played for every BC Provincial team since 2012 and in 2015 she was named a Player of Distinction by her club team, Mountain United.

“She is a smart defender who provides a constant attacking threat,” said Clan head coach Annie Hamel of her new recruit. “I look forward to her making an impact right away.”

The team opens its season Sept. 2, against California State University East Bay.
