For Howie, retirement isn’t easy Lynn Jensen and her guide dog have travelled the world SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

E

veryone likes to feel they are indispensable at work but there are few times that a retirement truly feels like the loss of a limb to those left behind.

Such is the separation that Lynn Jensen is struggling to come to terms with upon the occasion of Howie’s stepping down from an illustrious eightyear career as her right hand man.

Actually, make that her lefthand dog.

During his tenure as Jensen’s seeing-eye dog, Howie has commuted with her daily on the West Coast Express and the SkyTrain to her Vancouver office.

He has travelled across Canada and to nearly 10 other countries.

And he has accompanied her on trips to the grocery store, the bank and any number of other destinations that make up the to and fro of a person’s life, and in so doing, became an extension of Jensen herself, as familiar and dependable and necessary as her own hand.

She knew from the time that she first welcomed Howie to her life in 2007 that the day would come when she’d have to let him go — she just didn’t know it would all go by so quickly.

“It is so hard,” Jensen said.

“It feels like I’m losing my left leg.”

THE NEW KID

The doorbell of Jensen’s Port Moody home rings and there is an immediate flurry of activity heard from the inside: barking, and lots of it, and the whirling dervish sounds of several pawed feet skidding, jumping and scampering to reach the door. see ‘WHEN I’, page 3

ANIMALS & THEIR HUMANS

‘When I pull out the harness for the first time & put it on Misty, it’s going to break my heart’ continued from front page

When Jensen opens the door, she is doing her best to hold the two black lab/ retriever crosses at bay. Howie is taller, shaggier and sports a grey beard while Misty is slightly smaller and glows a deep, all-over midnight black.

The two jostle for pole position next to Jensen and, in walking to the living room, bounce against one another, sniffing and inspecting with equal measures of suspicion and curiosity.

Misty is the new kid in town, having just arrived that morning. It was the day after Howie’s retirement from his official work duties, although he’ll continue working part-time, so to speak, during Jensen’s three-week training period with Misty, after which he’ll hang up his guide dog leash for the last time and become a beloved family pet. (Jensen lives with her twin sister and her husband, and their twin 18-month-old girls).

“It’s going to take some time to build that relationship,” Jensen said of the transition to a new guide dog. “It’s like driving a standard [transmission] after years of an automatic; the last eight years, I went to and from work and I didn’t have to put any thought into it.”

ABOVE: BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS; OTHER: SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Clockwise from above left: Lynn Jensen with Howie at work at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. Howie with a favourite toy.

Howie on holidays with Jensen in Norway. Howie with Mae, the guide dog he replaced in 2007. And Howie on a seat on a West Coast Express train during his final commute with Jensen, when another passenger gave him a ribbon that reads “Retired — let the fun begin!”

‘AMAZING CAREER’

Jensen is now working six hours a day with Misty and a mobility instructor. It’s a slow process as the two get used to working together — learning turns, then street crossings and, eventually, branch out to using public transit.

As the two get closer, their circle expands. What starts out as brief forays into the neighbourhood eventually become trips to work, to do errands, to take the stage at the Rocky Point Toastmasters club (Howie is an honorary member known for stealing the show from Jensen) and even to travel the world.

“He’s had an amazing career,” Jensen said.

Strangely enough, Jensen was never much of a fan of dogs and had never considered having a pet.

But shortly after graduating from nursing school 19 years ago, she lost her vision due to a medical condition and, once she had mastered the white cane, it was time to consider

a guide dog. Jensen laughs when she recalls how she used to shut the bedroom door on Mae, Howie’s predecessor, or sit with her legs up on the sofa so the dog wouldn’t touch her.

It wasn’t long, however, before her first dog had “squirmed her way into my heart,” and changed her life forever, and for the better.

“I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing without [a guide dog]. It’s given me independence, confidence — my life has changed dramatically since I’ve had a dog.”

Howie arrived in July 2007; Mae stayed on as a family pet for two years before she

passed away.

By January 2008 Howie was joining Jensen on a trip to Mexico with her and her sister, where he relished in playing on the beach and swimming in the ocean. And when Jensen and her sister rented a tandem kayak and paddled away, Howie, already fiercely loyal, swam after her and hoisted himself up on to the boat between the sisters like a sodden sentinel.

Over the years, Howie returned to Mexico six times and also explored Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden; it was in Norway where he donned

a Viking helmet, earning him the nickname “Howie the Terrible.”

But it was in the everyday trips, the commutes and the quiet times at home, where Howie likes to cuddle up with a favourite stuffed toy, that the bond between them was forged.

“I’m so emotional,” Jensen said. “You’re in this for the long haul, and it’s hard knowing that it’s coming to an end. It’s just part of you.”

DELICATE BALANCE Howie’s last day of work on Feb. 17 included honours befitting the retirement of an

employee of his stature. With great coaxing — and eventually some lifting and hauling — Howie got to ride on the seat next to Jensen on the West Coast Express, much to his chagrin.

A fellow passenger who had come to know Howie well on those regular trips downtown had a blue ribbon ready to pin on his leash. It read, “Retired — let the fun begin!”

At the Canadian National Institute for the Blind office, where Jensen works as a rehabilitation teacher, showing those with vision loss how to cook, identify clothing colours, sort money, navigate kitchen

cupboards and much more, Howie snuggled in his corner cot and welcomed an inordinate number of treats from fellow staff.

And over the weekend, Jensen was looking forward to showering Howie with affection while also welcoming Misty into the family.

It’s a delicate balance that will take time to perfect, she said.

“When I pull out the harness for the first time and put it on Misty, it’s going to break my heart,” she admits.

Eventually, Howie will learn to shift to Jensen’s right side, on a normal dog leash, while Misty takes the reins as the guide dog on the left, but whether Howie will like it is another story.

Asked to pose for a photo, Misty quickly slides to Jensen’s left side, sitting proudly as the young, sleek usurper while the wizened Howie, perturbed and confused, dances around them and eventually turns to stare at the wall. Jensen does her best to bring Howie in, and is rewarded with a face full of dog kisses.

Later, the two dogs come to an uneasy truce on the floor at Jensen’s feet but neither will stray more than a few inches from her, always jockeying for the position that Howie isn’t quite ready to relinquish.

He has enjoyed been an admirable career and a celebrated retirement, but don’t expect Howie to go gently into that good night. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

SD43 continues to pay down debt 2 PoMo trustees against paying for future benefits DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

It’s not out of the woods yet but, thanks to a combination of conservative budget forecasting and higher than expected student enrolment, School District 43 is paying off its debt.

The district’s $10-million operating deficit from four years ago will be down to $2.8 million by June with the application of an end-of-year surplus of $1.45 million. As well, a $25-million unfunded future employee benefit liability will be cut by $500,000 using unspent employee benefit money.

Putting surpluses towards debt was part of an amended budget of $328.4 million approved by the board of education Tuesday evening.

But Port Moody trustees Lisa Park and Keith Watkins objected to using the employee benefit surplus to pay off the unfunded future benefit liability, which was incurred in 2004 when accounting changes were made to comply with generally accepted accounting principles.

They said the money should be put towards the 2016/’17 budget instead. “I don’t support the use of it [to pay down the unfunded liability],” Watkins said.

“If we pay the debt back, will they increase the funding?”

Park asked.

The PoMo trustees were alone in their opposition to the move, with the remaining trustees saying that setting money aside to cover the unfunded liability is a school district obligation and not doing so would put the district’s financial reputation at risk.

“I think we should get our financial house in order,” said Port Coquitlam Trustee Michael Thomas. “The sooner we are able to get the burden off our back, the sooner we can put dollars back into the classroom.

“Ignoring the advice of auditors for many years is, in my opinion, what got the district

into trouble in the first place.” “[The Ministry of Finance] will see we are sincere about paying back our debt,” said board chair and PoCo Trustee Judy Shirra.

“We have to play ball,” Coquitlam Trustee Barb

Hobson said.

“We need to show we are advocates by paying down the debt and advocating for more money because we are underfunded,” said Carol Cahoon, another Coquitlam trustee.

“We are very much at risk

of being fiscally irresponsible,” Coquitlam Trustee Chuck Denison said, while the fourth Coquitlam trustee, Diane Sowden, said, “It’s a debt and we’ve got to pay back our debts.”

Anmore/Belcarra Trustee

Kerri Palmer Isaak was also in favour of putting the surplus employee benefit towards the unfunded liability, saying, “I’m in support of paying down the debt rapidly.”

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Builders’ new-school fees to drop in SD43 About $200-perunit drop due to provincial regs

MOre sTUDeNTs iN ’14/’15 continued from page 6

DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

In a move of which Premier Christy Clark would likely approve, School District 43 is cutting fees developers have to pay for the purchase of future school sites.

Called school site acquisition charges, the fees are paid by developers at the building permit stage and cuts to them could amount to hundreds or even thousands of dollars of savings for house and condo builders in the Tri-Cities.

The moves comes as the provincial government announced in its recent throne speech that municipalities should cut developers’ fees to promote affordable housing, a move that was roundly criticized by Metro Vancouver mayors.

But here in the Tri-Cities, some fees will be cut: A lowdensity builder will now pay $726 per unit, down from $1,000, while condo builders

LIP SYNC GALA TOMORROW The Give Her Wings Gala, hosted by Soroptimist International of the Tri-Cities, is being held tomorrow at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club.

The event is being held to raise funds for programs supporting women and girls, and will feature a lip syncing battle.

• Tickets for the Give Her Wings Gala on Saturday, Feb. 27 at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club, 3251 Plateau Blvd., Coquitlam, cost $65, and include a cocktail reception at 6 p.m. and an awards presentation at 7 p.m., For tickets or more information, email sitricities@soroptimist.net or call 604-944-9017.

POCO TRUSTEE JUDY SHIRRA will pay $436 per unit, down from $600. A range of other fees will be cut, too.

“Maybe the cities will send us a thank-you letter,” Port Coquitlam Trustee and board chair Judy Shirra joked as the board unanimously approved the cut, which will see fees drop by about 27%.

On a condominium project, such as a 27-storey, 174-unit project planned for Windsor Gate in Coquitlam, the savings could amount to about $35,000.

But it wasn’t out of generosity the move was made; in fact, the district needs fewer school sites because it recently acquired four properties to build five schools on Burke

According to SD43 figures, district revenue is up this year by $11.5 million, owing to more students showing up than were predicted along with more fee-paying foreign students adding to the revenue. On the expense side, $6.1 million more in salaries was spent because of the increase in students plus $1.2 million in benefits and $2.9 million in additional services and supplies.

In April, SD43 trustees will deliberate and pass a budget for the 2016/’17 school year.

Mountain in Coquitlam.

“I really don’t think we have a choice in the matter in that we have to comply with the legislation,” said Chris Nicolls, assistant secretary treasurer.

The fees generated by developers cover approximately 35% of the school site purchase.

Funds still need to be collected for four more elementary schools expected to be needed as the region grows: Riverwalk, Partington Creek, Marigold and Anmore/Port Moody. Currently, the district has about $4 million in its reserve for the purchase of school sites.

According to SD43 staff, the cut had to be made because fees are based on a calculation regulated by the province.

In June, the district announced it had reached a deal with the city of Coquitlam, property owners and Wesbild to purchase school sites for Smiling Creek, as well as two more elementary schools in the area and a middle school next to the secondary school.

Approximately $5 million was spent from school site acquisition charges to acquire the properties at the time. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

FRENCH HONOUR FOR ‘DOC’ CUMBERS

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTOS

John ‘Doc’ Cumbers was just 17 when he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War; 70 years later, he was recognized for his courage and valour, and was awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour. Jean Christophe Fleury, the Consul General of France, presided over the ceremony at the Coquitlam RCMP detachment on Tuesday. The Legion of Honour is France’s highest honour and illustrates the profound gratitude from the French government for the country’s liberation during the Second World War. A tail gunner, Cumbers flew 39 missions during the war. When he returned home, he volunteered with the Vancouver Fire Department and served with the Royal Canadian Navy. He has also spent the last eight years volunteering at the Ridgeway community police station in Coquitlam.

Enrolment bump last Sept. could be followed by drop Enrolment nos. expected to be down this Sept.

DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

A surprising jump in enrolment last September that boosted School District 43 coffers by more than $4 million and resulted in the hiring of dozens of new teachers and educational assistants may be a blip rather than a trend.

Schools counted 453 more students in classes than were projected last spring but a new report suggests numbers will drop by about 174 FTE students when the next school year starts in September.

Reasons for the decline include fewer kindergarten students enrolled last fall and a huge class of 2,694 graduating students this June. But the district is still expecting to see some students migrating to SD43 classes from other districts and an influx of Syrian

GERALD SHONG, SD43 students, both of which will offset the decline.

The district bases its enrolment projections on provincial estimates and those of consultants Barager Systems as well as new construction yield rates (i.e., the number of schoolaged children predicted to come from new condos and homes), then follows up with its own analysis.

Barager had predicted an increase of 133 FTE students while the Ministry of Education is predicting a drop of about 185 FTE students.

SD43 assistant superintendent Gerald Shong told trustees the district decided to go with a figure more closely aligned to the province’s estimates because it’s not known if students will arrive from home and condo projects still under construction in time for September classes.

The uncertainty, and the importance of enrolment estimates in establishing budget projections — how much money it will get in provincial grants — meant the district decided to go with a more conservative figure. Having to cut teachers and education assistants in September if the numbers don’t pan out “could be a challenge and disruptive to teachers and obviously to students,” Shong said.

As for this year’s growth, Shong said the new students came from independent schools and other school districts as well as from out of the province and from out of country.

TRI-CITY CRIME

Suspect sought in a Feb. 11 PoCo assault Coquitlam RCMP are hoping the public can help identify a man who allegedly assaulted a woman in front of her Port Coquitlam home earlier this month.

According to police, the woman was approaching her front door on the afternoon of Feb. 11 when the unknown man shoved her to the ground and then fled on foot. She sustained minor injuries.

The suspect is described as

a Caucasian man about six feet tall and wearing a blue baseball hat and jeans.

“The description alone is very generic,” said Const.

Jamie Phillipson in a release.

“However the sketch of the suspect is extremely detailed and may be enough to obtain a positive identification.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-9451550 and quote file number 2016-4492.

Inlet Park work in the works Seed money now set aside; upgrade to start in 2017 Upgrading the Inlet Park field is inching toward reality after Port Moody council approved a spot for the project in its five-year capital plan as well as a funding mechanism to make it happen.

The long-awaited project is slated for 2017 in the 2016-’20 capital plan, with $375,000 in seed money coming from a

new reserve fund. That money will be drawn from the federal gas tax funds and gas tax transfer plus the 2015 operating budget surplus.

Additional funding is expected to come from private contributions, likely from developers’ community amenity contributions and other corporate donors.

The Inlet Park redevelopment project has been in the works for several years, with a feasibility study funded by Port Moody Soccer Club in 2009 and public consultation the

following year.

A staff report notes updated costs for the project are estimated at $4 million to upgrade the existing field to artificial turf or $5.8 million to upgrade to turf and also re-align the field to a north-south position on the western edge of the property.

Adding a changing room would likely cost an additional $750,000.

The work is expected to take two years or more to complete.

OUR OPINION

Cash questions

S

chool District 43 has one of the highest graduation rates in the province but is at the bottom of B.C. in per-pupil funding.

And class composition figures show that in dozens of classes, there are seven or more kids needing English language instruction or special help for education needs, both taxing on resources, teachers and students.

How do you square the circle? By one standard — money and classroom composition — SD43 is not doing so well. By other standards — such as innovative classroom instruction, social and emotional teaching, and use of technology — it’s at the top.

Maybe it’s time to look deeper. Are all schools equal when it comes to programs and equipment? Is the technology fairly shared? Are schools in less prosperous neighbourhoods struggling while wealthier areas do well?

As SD43 prepares for its April budget discussions, a more thorough analysis of strengths and challenges might be helpful. How is funding being shared and what can SD43 do better are questions needing answers.

ime to once again prove what a loser I am. I’m going to... gulp... continue living in Vancouver.

Phew, that was tough to admit. It’s obviously not a trendy position. These days, you can’t swing a sack of dead salmon without smacking at least three people who are at that very moment writing an angsty “Why I’m leaving Vancouver” blog post.

One writer in Vancity Buzz started her gripe list with the assertion that she’s fed up with Vancouver because “it’s coooooold.”

It’s weird that this author wants to leave Vancouver — it seems to me that once she explains how coooooold it is in Vancouver to anyone in the rest of Canada, she’ll be looking for soft foods such as Vancouver’s famous sushi that she can eat with no teeth.

Another writer in Huffington Post complained that one of the worst things about Vancouver is that when you have parties, no one comes to them.

“You can plan a party, have a dozen people RSVP, and then have every one of them cancels an hour before the party.”

TC

The writer said this scenario happens so much to him that he gave it a name: getting “Vancouvered.”

That’s odd. I always thought getting “Vancouvered” meant spilling coffee on your yoga pants while stuck in a traffic jam listening to your hockey team lose in the playoffs.

Now I know this is not a competition but I have never thrown a party and had no one show up, and I’ve never been to a party where no one else has shown up. They do say that people who are good friends have good friends.

That bar might even be a bit high — I’m a mediocre friend at best and I have wonderful friends.

All the Leaving Vancouver essays eventually do come around to the one legit, non-train-related complaint about the city: housing prices.

Here’s where I must admit that, as one of the unlucky millions who did not have the good sense to be born 20 years earlier so that I could get into the housing market before it went full Kanye West crazy, it is kind of depressing to watch investors and real estate agents play property ping pong while politicians sit on the sidelines

yelling “Whooo! Great shot!”

When I was growing, up I assumed I would at some point buy a house but I’ve come to accept that as long as I’m living here, that will not happen. And I’m not even in Vancouver proper but on the North Shore.

But I’m not about to let my housing status determine my happiness. I can afford my rent, although it doesn’t leave a lot of extra spending money. A lot of my friends back home in Alberta seem to have extra cash for things like giant trucks, houses and boats. They all have freaking boats, which is weird because I’m the one who lives by the ocean.

But, then again, I live by the ocean. If I knew how to ski, surf or sail, I could do all of those things in one day and then open up a craft brewery.

There are warnings now that the skyrocketing house prices and absentee owner/investors are going to turn this into a ghost town, a “husk of a city” the pundits call it.

Really? You mean there won’t be thousands of families wrestling for good spots on the beach? There won’t be hour-long lineups for the bridge? Please tell me more about this husk of a city thing — it sounds like paradise.

Since the dawn of recorded civilization, nose rings have been used to control large animals. It is obvious that the developers who are looking to densify the area of North Road and Austin have Burnaby city council by the nose.

No one in their right mind would allow 25,000 people to occupy this corner of our world, as reported in your newspaper.

I pointed out in a previous letter to the editor how our own Coquitlam city council sees no problem in densifying their side of North Road but, suddenly, councillors are concerned about the shadows thrown eastward across North Road by numerous Burnaby highrises.

Well, good for them, but I hope they would have remembered the location of our town centre, which was

The Editor, We want to tell you a story about something that recently happened. On Jan. 26, our son and brother, Angus BrobergHull, was tragically killed in an accident.

As you can imagine, our lives imploded.

But in the following days, we found a community of people in the Tri-Cities whose acts of kindness to our family will never be forgotten. The part that is most unusual is that we didn’t know these people.

There are many stories: There were hugs from complete strangers in the lineup at Thrifty’s; an assistant manager named Mohsen at the 7-Eleven at Guildford Way and Lansdowne Drive who did not know our story but whose kindnesses saved us in several very dark moments; and a couple — Sean (Shawn?

Shaun?) and his wife — who live in Suter Brook, who drove an hour out of their way on a dark and rainy night for two

ANGUS BROBERG-HULL complete strangers.

Let me tell you about Sean and his wife. My in-laws, Ashley and Gene, were arriving from New York to be with us but my husband and I had to meet with a family member to go over the organization of Angus’ service. So my in-laws took SkyTrain from the airport, then West Coast Express to Port Moody. The C26 packed full in an instant, then came and went, and my in-laws were left standing on the platform with their bags at their feet.

Their cell phone did not work in Canada and they had no idea how they would get from the West Coast Express station to our home in Belcarra.

A woman next to them offered to call a cab but then she just said, “Or we could just drive you. Here’s my husband picking me up now.”

Understand that at this point, my in-laws were “visiting family,” no one knew of a funeral for a beloved grandson.

And understand, as well, that this couple lived 1 km from the station but took an hour out of their evening to drive complete strangers, on a dark and rainy night, to the wilds of Belcarra.

We still don’t know who Sean and his wife are. But we want everyone to know how they and others helped to lighten our load and mend our broken hearts. We are so grateful to be a part of such a community.

there is little harm in listening to their ideas.

“I agree we don’t want to predetermine the use of that site but this motion very clearly says that this potential use be considered… and I think that feeds into the dialogue,” said Coun. Rick Glumac.

Coun. Zoe Royer echoed his sentiments, saying the committees’ work could happen in tandem with council’s ongoing process in determining future uses of the site.

Clay disagreed, however, saying the committees pursuing an assisted-living facility at the old fire hall would be “contrary to what’s going on in the OCP.” The motion to have the committees work together on investigating assisted living options for the site was defeated, with Clay and councillors Dilworth, Meghan Lahti and Barbara Junker opposed.

Port Moody’s old fire hall site sits empty in the city’s town centre but residents can expect to hear about some potential plans for that prime property this summer.

Whether it will turn into an assisted-living facility for seniors, however, isn’t necessarily a slam dunk.

At Tuesday’s meeting, council shot down a resolution to have the Community Care and Seniors Focus committees investigate options for the development of an assistedliving facility on the property at the corner of Ioco Road and Murray Street, saying it is too soon to earmark it for one particular purpose.

“I think it’s premature,” said Coun. Diana Dilworth. “I would like city council to have the opportunity to step back and determine what our parameters are around seniors’ assisted housing, and when we have enough information and enough guidance, at that point refer the item back to our… committees.”

The city is already working on options for the site through the lens of the new official community plan, said Mayor Mike Clay, and there should be some discussion points ready in the summer or early fall.

Other members of council, however, said the committees should move forward with their investigations, noting

Port Moody residents can have their say next month on a proposed four-storey mixed-use building on St. Johns Street that would feature four commercial and 12 residential units.

The project would go in an empty lot between Mary and Grant streets, where the buildings on either side measure one and two storeys, and requires zoning amendments to increase the maximum height from three to four storeys.

Further zoning amendments are needed to reduce the required number of residential parking stalls from 20 to 13, allowing for one designated stall per unit and one visitor parking spot. The proposal also calls for four dedicated commercial spots, one for each storefront.

The amendments received first two readings at Tuesday’s council meeting and a public hearing is scheduled for March 8 at city hall.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension?

Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss - the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.

Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem.

If inner-ear damage is present, a hearing care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing.

These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested.

Ginette van Wijngaarden, from Connect Hearing proudly displays the Audéo Venture hearing aid.

They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation.

However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing Aids This past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis.

The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays.

The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients.

Metro Ford has stepped forward as the official sponsor of the pace vehicles while the first to sign up as a gold sponsor was Westwood Cycle — a PoCo-based store with outlets in Port Moody, Maple Ridge and Burnaby — and is also assisting with event planning and providing volunteers.

Volunteers will also play a role, primarily on the day of the event. Approximately 150 volunteers over the age of 15 are needed for tasks including team captains, race course fencing, signage, marshalling, VIP tent, beer garden, fundraising, first aid, PoCo Grand Prix Expo (a trade show), street team event hosts, event setup and takedown, and other areas.

People can volunteer as individuals, as a group or as a team from an organization of up to 12 volunteers. Visit www. portcoquitlam.ca/volunteer for information and registration.

Event and sponsorship information is available at www. pocograndprix.ca. Questions may be emailed to grandprix@ portcoquitlam.ca or to Lori Bowie at 604-927-7900. For volunteer opportunities, contact Rob Loxterkamp at loxterkampr@portcoquitlam.ca or at 604-927-7953.

Activists in kayaks surround KM barge JENNIFER MOREAU GLACIER MEDIA

NOMINATE AN ECO LEADER FOR AWARD

A group of activists in kayaks surrounded Kinder Morgan’s drilling barge last Sunday at the Westridge Marine Terminal.

They sang and chanted in protest against the oil company’s ongoing geo-technical work.

Seven people took part, according to organizer Ariel Martz-Oberlander, and they are willing to put their bodies on the line to stop the pipeline expansion.

“We are not interested in being violent or aggressive but we are going to use any means necessary to stop the pipeline being built, and that may come down to standing in the way. That may look like what happened on Burnaby Mountain last year,” said Martz-Oberlander.

On Sunday, the group paddled up to the barge, where Kinder Morgan is drilling for geo-technical work in anticipation of expanding the Westridge Marine Terminal.

The paddlers, or “kayaktivists,” circled the barge, sang songs, chanted and spoke with the workers.

“It was a friendly, joyful action. It was non-aggressive.

There was no malicious intent.

Do you know an environmental leader in Coquitlam?

If so, the city wants to hear from you.

The city of Coquitlam is now accepting nominations for its annual Environmental Achievement Awards.

Nominees can be people or groups that volunteer or go beyond the scope of their jobs in the areas of environmental conservation/protection, environmental education/public awareness, sustainable living and habitat enhancement/rehabilitation. They do not need to be residents of Coquitlam but the activities for which they are being nominated should occur in or benefit the city.

Supporting documents, such as photos, newsletter or newspaper articles, video clips and certificates will help a nomination and can be emailed to: cselk@coquitlam. ca; alternately, nominations can be mailed or dropped off at: Coquitlam City Hall Reception, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, B.C. V3B 7N2. The online nomination form and a list of last year’s winners are available at www.coquitlam. ca/enviroawards. The nomination deadline is April 11.

@TriCityNews

We just wanted to be close to the barge so they had to stop drilling,” Martz-Oberlander said.

The 23-year-old Vancouver resident is opposed to Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion because of concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. She also pointed out that the city of Burnaby and the TsleilWaututh Nation are opposed to the project.

Martz-Oberlander said the kayakers got close enough to stop the drilling but Kinder Morgan spokesperson Lisa Clement said they didn’t affect the geo-technical work.

The company secured a permit for the drilling from Port Metro Vancouver but work should wrap up by the end of this month. In January, several kayakers were arrested after boarding the barge. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

How costly is your bling? And how ‘dirty’?

LIVING GREEN

MELISSA CHAUN

Y

ears ago, I had my colours done, a wardrobe assessment to see what best suited my skin tone. I am a “winter” and silver (cool) tones look better on me than gold ones. I felt enlightened; this could save me time and even money.

Years later, however, I would learn that more than 20 tonnes of mine waste are produced for an average 18-karat gold ring.

Below are just some of the staggering facts revealed by earthworksaction.org; Nature Ontario’s 2013 report, Mining In Ontario: A deeper look; and by thegreenerdiamond.org:

THE DIRTY REALITY

• For every diamond extracted from De Beers’ open-pit Victor mine in Ontario, some 100 tonnes of material are excavated.

• Half of the world’s diamonds end up in America, where 70% of women own at least one diamond. Women – who usually identify with nur-

JEFFREY HAMILTON/THINKSTOCK

Many people love diamond and gold jewellery — but at what cost, asks columnist Melissa Chaun. turing and protecting their children — are driving the demand for earth-mined diamonds, a phenomenally dangerous trade.

• In 2007, Amnesty International estimated that 3.7 million people had died as the result of conflicts fuelled by diamonds. The sourcing of gold, silver and gems also destroys indigenous communities and massively poisons ecosystems.

• Approximately one quarter of the 25 million artisan smallscale gold miners worldwide are children and women, providing 15 to 25% of the global gold supply, mainly through a black market. Even if you do not wear jewellery, your smart phone or computer very likely contains “dirty” or “conflict” gold.

• Mining is one of the least efficient industries. For a typical

Canadian mine, 42% of material extracted from the ground is rejected up front as waste rock; 56% is turned into slag and toxic tailings, leaving a mere 2% able to be converted into value.

• The mineral sector is the fourth largest industrial water user in Canada, consuming some 1.7 billion cu. m of fresh water per year, of which 78% is discharged untreated into lakes and rivers.

• Much of a mine site’s waste remains hazardous in perpetuity due to the risk of acid mine drainage (sulphides in rock exposed to water and air, forming sulphuric acid) and toxic heavy metals (cyanide, mercury, copper, lead, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, zinc and nickel). For example, the Mount Washington Mine near Comox produced copper for only three years, after which its toxic copper leachate contaminated the headwaters of the Tsolum River, destroying a multi-milliondollar salmon fishery. Similarly, the August 2014 failure of Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley copper and gold mine tailings pond has devastated the Polley and Quesnel lakes ecosystem.

• Since 2002, Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments have spent $1 billion to manage the 10,000 plus abandoned mines across Canada. B.C.’s abandoned Britannia copper mine caused acid mine drainage for years, adversely affecting an ecosystem supporting chinook and chum salmon until a costly publicly-funded rehabilitation program began to address it.

ter reflect the things you truly value: • Purchase consigned jewellery. This not only protects new natural resources from destruction and saves you money but vintage diamonds are guaranteed to be conflict-free since the practice of using diamond wealth to fund wars began in the early 1990s.

• Purchase man-made diamonds. Today, it is possible to make diamonds — called moissanite — in a laboratory that are not only more affordable than earth-mined diamonds but possess 2.4 times the “fire” and 1% more brilliance and lustre.

• If you do choose to buy an earth-mined diamond, thegreenerdiamond.org provides comprehensive guidelines and questions to ask your jeweller.

• Purchase a setting/ring made from recycled precious metals; gold has as much conflict as diamonds.

• Support a charity, volunteer and/or tell a friend what you have learned. Visit http:// thegreenerdiamond.org/getinvolved-3/ for details.

The city of Port Coquitlam’s recreation department is looking for preschools or daycares in the Citadel middle school catchment area that may be willing to host, maintain and steward a little free library.

The little free library is a freestanding box that holds books; community members can either leave a book or two, or borrow one or two to enjoy. The concept is to promote literacy and build community.

The city of Port Coquitlam supports the partnership with the Early Childhood Development (ECD) committee to promote community connectedness by establishing five little libraries in Citadel Heights. Supplies and building support is available through PoCo Building Supplies, with funding from the Tri-Cities Early Childhood Development Committee.

A planning meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 2 at 6:30 p.m. For more information or to apply, contact Janis Dancs, children services co-ordinator, at 604-927-5182 or via email at dancsj@portcoquitlam.ca.

Stem Cells activated from our own bone marrow spread all over the body to heal injuries, back or other pain, and rejuvenate our skin all over the body and especially in our face. Women that took it for healing were surprised that it visibly improved their facial skin better than creams. In a few weeks I noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my skin, as some lines and creases were diminishing, leaving a nice, polished glow to my face. #63 NPN 80051478 Caroline Dube, Petawawa, ON Friends remarked that I don't have the deep lines in my face anymore. One concludes that if the stem cells have such a healing effect on the skin, they must also have a great benefit for all internal organs.

I feel young and full of vitality. Diane Perreault, 62, Trois-Rivieres, QC. President’s statement: I’ve been taking #63 for years. I still enjoy working fulltime. Invariably, in places where I have to give my age of 84, people comment that I look like I’m in my 60s.

BC’s New Home Construction Spending Sees Warm December: StatCan I nvestment in home building in BC increased nearly 12.6 per cent year over year in December to $713 million, according to Statistics Canada figures released Februar y 22.

Single-family home construction saw the largest total investment of the four property types at $327 million, a rise of 4.9 per cent compared with December 2014, although this was a seasonally predictable drop of 9.2 per cent month over month.

Multi-family construction in the province was a close second in total investment at $303 million spent in December. But this figure was again a much steeper pace of annual growth,

at 25.5 per cent more than December 2014. The figure was a decline of 10.1 per cent compared with November.

Although spending on townhouse and row home construction is much lower, the figure keeps rising steadily, up 15.6 per cent year over year to $62 million in December. This was fall of 15.4 per cent from November 2015.

Continuing the trend of the last several months, the only new home type to see an annual decline in investment in December was duplex housing, spending on which fell nearly 19 per cent year over year to total less than $23 million, a slight rise of 2.3 per cent from November.

As usual, the province’s total $713 million new home construction spend was once again the third-highest dollar figure in the countr y, after Ontario and Alberta.

BC’s 12.6 per cent annual increase in December was again the secondsharpest rise in new home investment, with only Ontario outpacing the province, as Alberta’s total was a near-16 per cent drop compared with December 2014.

Across the countr y, investment in new home building rose at a much more moderate pace than B C’s, with its total of $3.9 billion in December a rise of 4.8 per cent from the same

month a year earlier and a drop of 10.2 per cent compared with November.

As with last month, the strongest growth in Canadian constr uction investment was seen in multi-family home buildings, which rose nearly 24 per cent year over year. There was also some increased spending on townhomes and row homes, up 3.4 per cent since the previous December.

Statistics Canada yet again repor ted notable year-over-year declines in nationwide spending on singlefamily housing and duplexes, with investment in these homes dropping 3.4 per cent and 16.2 per cent respectively.

AROUND THE HOUSE

Rhubarb is hardy and, now, hot, too IN THE GARDEN

BRIAN MINTER

R

hubarb is the hot new perennial vegetable that adds that tangy, tart flavour to dessert menus, sauces, fruit combos and compotes. It’s also hard to beat for pies and crumbles.

Rhubarb is so very useful in our cooking and yet, far too few are being grown in our gardens, even small space ones. I mention this now because it’s an ideal time to plant rhubarb.

Rhubarb is very hardy, even in the prairies, so it will do well in our area. There are a number of good varieties; about ten or so are available in our region. ‘Crimson Cherry’ has large red stalks; ‘Strawberry’ is a thinner red stalked type; and ‘Victoria’ is, perhaps, the most well known with large greenish red stalks. All of these are great for the home garden.

What many folks don’t know is rhubarb plants need to become established for at least a couple of years before you can begin to harvest.

Most rhubarb varieties are sold as root chunks divided up into one or two eye shoots but if you can find a wellestablished container grown plant, so much the better.

Plant rhubarb at the soil line so just the eyes or new shoots are barely above ground.

You’ll need well-drained soil and raised beds are best.

Working lots of well-rotted manure into the soil and dipping the roots in a root booster or fish fertilizer solution will do wonders to give

Rhubarb has become one popular perennial and, lucky for Metro Vancouver residents, it’s a hardy plant, too, writes gardening columnist Brian Minter.

the plants a good start. If you set out more than one clump, keep them about 3 ft. (1 m) apart.

Once growing, keep feeding them, especially with root starter fertilizer to get the roots well established. I also love to top dress the plants with composted steer manure to keep them growing, particularly in late spring. If white flower stalks appear, cut them off at the base so all the plant’s energy goes into developing the foliage. As they continue to develop, in late spring they often tire out and that’s when some slowrelease 14-14-14 Osmocote fertilizer will help them along.

Well-established plants can be harvested for about 5-8 weeks but make sure lots of stalks are left on the plant to keep it growing vegetatively. Once the weather turns hot or the stalks become thin, stop harvesting and let the plant recover.

When you harvest rhubarb, do not use a knife but rather pull the stalks away in a sideways motion to get a clean break. Leaving short bits on the plant can cause decay on the root. Remember that the leaves of a rhubarb plant are poisonous, so don’t eat the leaves and don’t put them in your compost.

Rhubarb is a perennial and will thrive for many years, even tolerating light shade. In Europe, there is a whole industry built on forcing it early with pots and pails turned upside down overtop the plants to ensure harvesting 3-4 weeks earlier. If you have an established plant, you might begin this technique now.

Rhubarb is such an easy plant to grow and now is a perfect time to get them underway. Do give this tasty perennial a try.

AND THEY ALL FALL DOWN

ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO

Coquitlam United dealt Kelowna a devastating loss in women’s Div. 1 B.C. Rugby action last weekend at Town Centre Park. The home team wasted little time in taking the lead, scoring several tries before Kelowna managed to get on the scoreboard. When the dust finally settled, Coquitlam was up 54-5 over the Okanagan visitors. Saturday’s win was the eighth of the season for United, who travel to Nanaimo for a road game tomorrow. Coquitlam is currently at the top of the Div. 1 B.C. Rugby standings with 32 points and an 8-1 record, one win ahead of Meraloma of Vancouver and two wins up on Abbotsford.

BC WINTER GAMES

Bevy of locals going to Games GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

A group of Tri-City ringette players will be taking on some of the toughest competition in the province as they get ready for the B.C. Winter Games in Penticton this week.

The team, which was chosen last fall and has been practising together since December, will represent Zone 4, which consists of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody along with Surrey, White Rock, Burnaby and New Westminster.

The local squad was expected

to arrive in the Okanagan ahead of yesterday’s opening ceremony.

Kaitlin Allen, Ashley Robb, Jo Brady, Teagan Ewart, Emily Church, Megan Parsons, Amy Duplantis, Ximena Turmel and Julia Fung all made the lineup this year, with Amy Byrne, Coline Robb and Erin Mulligan directing things from behind the bench.

The group are not the only Tri-City ringette players headed to the games this week.

Zone 4 will also be icing a B team, with PoCo athletes Chloe de Beaupre, Hannah

Deck, Amanda Weloy, Kiara Cameron and Kristen Bischoff along with Coquitlam’s Natalie Howell and Sophia Guan in the lineup. They will be joined

by Christine Wiebe, Dejah Moldowin, Grace Kemp, Katherine Berntt, Tiia Friesen, Vanessa Wensink and Amy Woo of Surrey and Kennedi Johansen, Rachel Kong and Kennedy Beemish of Burnaby.

On snow, PoCo cross-country skier Liam Espedido is expected to compete in two races in Penticton this weekend. The 14-year-old will take on the competition in the 3.5 km classic race

and a 400 m skate race, and will be on a team with Shayla Ernst and Kate O’Shea of Burnaby.

A strong contingent of TriCity curlers is also gearing up for the Winter Games.

Team Drexel is among the finalists for the provincial event, led by 16-year-old Coquitlam skip Heather Drexel, third Everly Royea, second Bailey Burke and lead Madeline Britz. The team is coached by Alan Smith.

This will be Drexel’s third provincial event while Everly and Bailey have been to the competition twice before,

Other B.C. Winter Games curling finalists include Matthew McCrady, another Tri-City skip, who recently won the silver at the 2016 B.C. Junior Men’s Curling Championships in Kamloops last month.

He competes with third Zac Curtis of Coquitlam, second Liam Purgavie of Surrey and lead Jacob Umbach, also of Coquitlam.

FIELD HOCKEY

Soaring Eagles briefly grounded The Tri-City Eagles’ winning streak was snapped on Saturday — but barely.

The local played West Vancouver to a 1-1 tie at Town Centre Park on Saturday and are now clinging to first place in the Vancouver Women’s Field Hockey Association Div. 1 standings.

With a record of 18-3-2, the Eagles are slightly ahead of the VRC Jokers, who have a game in hand and a 13-3-1 record.

The Vancouver Hawks are also in striking distance of first place, with an 11-3-3 showing.

Meanwhile, the Tri-City Eagles Impact lost 2-1 to West Vancouver during a Div. 2 road game while, in Div. 3, the TriCity Eagles Tempo shut out India 5-0 at Town Centre.

Two Div. 4 teams, the Wild and the Power, both notched wins over Vancouver on Saturday at home. sports@tricitynews.com

GYMNASTICS

PoCo gymnast is in top 10 at elite meets A Port Coquitlam gymnast enjoyed an elite February.

Haley de Jong, a member of the Junior Canadian National Team, recently returned from back-to-back meets where she recorded top-10 finishes.

At Elite Canada in Halifax Feb. 3 to 7, de Jong rallied back from a couple of falls on beam on the first day of competition to finish fourth in floor, eighth on bars, ninth on vault and 12th all-around. She finished strong on the other apparatus and earned a spot in event finals for floor, where she place

eighth, and bars, where she won a bronze medal.

Then, from Feb. 10 to 13 in Frisco Texas, at the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy Classic International Elite competition, de Jong competed against athletes from the U.S., Japan and other countries.

The Riverside secondary school student finished second all-around in the Juniors, earning a silver medal on floor, fourth on beam and vault, and sixth on bars. She also helped Canada to a bronze-medal finish in the team event.
