Send off the salmon at Hyde Creek SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

More need than cash in schools Schools feeling effects of budget cuts 2 years ago DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 trustees face a Solomon’s choice of adding some services and not others as they get ready to pass a budget for the next 2016/’17 school year.

More counsellors to help kids with anxiety and mental health disorders?

More library help for middle schools where kids are having trouble doing research?

More psychologists to do assessments for kids with learning disabilities?

How about music programs, which help kids cope with stress and improve brain function?

EARTH DAY: IN THE GARDEN & ON ICE

Or speech and language pathologists to reduce waiting lists for students who can’t communicate using speech?

All of these needs and more were shared at a budget meeting Tuesday, and next week, the SD43 board of education will vote on a $288.6-million budget that will include some improvements but not enough to appease many of the presenters.

Starting next September, for example, there will be an additional speech and language pathologist and another psychologist hired, more lunchtime supervisors, more administration time and additional classroom teachers — but the modest gains still won’t get the district back up to where it was three years ago, trustees were told.

The film is called “Melt” and the fundraising campaign starts today — Earth Day. Above left and below: Dickey and Volberg get up close with some glaciers.

EARTH DAY 2016

Heritage Woods grads making film about B.C.’s disappearing glaciers Group uses crowdfunding site to raise seed money DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Three teenage documentary filmmakers from Port Moody hope to shed some light on B.C.’s disappearing glaciers but need financial support to get into the backcountry to get footage and details about the province’s climate change story.

And today — Earth Day — Ethan Volberg, Kyler Dickey and Pierce Kinch are launching a crowdfunding campaign oniIndiegogo.com to get seed money for their film, titled Melt.

“It’s about the glacier issue in this province. Essentially, it’s to highlight that our glaciers are melting and up to 70% could be gone by 2021,” said Volberg.

The trio, all recent Heritage Woods secondary school graduates, are friends and backcountry hikers who struck up a friendship with glaciologist Karl

Ricker, who has been recording the recession of Garibaldi glaciers since the mid-1970s.

Armed with alarming data about disappearing glaciers, the teens plan to strike out into B.C.’s Interior in Volberg’s Mitsubishi Delica 4x4 and find out how melting glaciers are affecting the land, important species such as the salmon, and the people.

“It’s scarier than just ice melting,” Volberg said. “What made us take it to the next level is the extreme effect [melting glaciers] would have on salmon population, hydroelectric power, be-

cause of lower water levels, and drinking water year-round.”

Funds raised will be used for equipment, converting the van for sleeping and travel costs as the young men plan to travel around B.C. talking to experts, groups and individuals about the impact of melting glaciers and what lies ahead for the future.

Their former principal, Todd Clerkson, said Volberg, Dickey and Kinch have amazing drive and a passion for the issue. “ “They seem to have a way of getting things done,” said Clerkson, who said the trio did

some of the work while they were in school last year. “If anyone can do it, I think these guys are up to the challenge.

“It’s kind of inspiring that kids of this age are taking things on for nature and the environment.”

The group also has the support of the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, which runs the Mossom Creek Hatchery, because of a video they did that resulted in Mossom winning a $10,000 grant from BC Hydro for community education.

“I love their deep and wellinformed concern for the environment and their fearless determination to raise awareness about the very serious effects of global climate change,” Mossom co-founder Ruth Foster said in an email.

ILLICIT DRUGS

Tri-Cities not immune to fentanyl ODs, study shows A dozen deaths in last 3 years, according to report SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A surge in fentanyl-related overdose deaths, including a 50% rise in the Fraser Health region, prompted the provincial medical health officer to declare a public health emergency earlier this month.

And the Tri-Cities are hardly immune to the problem, with a dozen OD deaths in the last three years.

Throughout B.C. there have been 64 fentanyl overdoses so far this year (to March 31), which is already nearly double the 37 reported by this time last year. Of those 64 deaths, 19 were in the Fraser region among people aged 20 to 39.

Coquitlam has reported 10 such deaths, with four each in 2014 and 2015, plus two so far this year. Port Coquitlam and Port Moody both reported two: one in each city in 2014, one in PoCo in 2015 and one in PoMo this year. A report released by the BC Coroner’s Service this week showed the number of fentanyl-detected deaths in each city since 2012.

“The number of deaths associated with fentanyl has gone from 5% in 2012 to 25% in 2014, and it’s an even higher percentage in 2015 but we don’t have the full numbers yet,” said Helena Swinkels, medical health officer with the Fraser Health Authority. “We’ve had quite a dramatic increase in the number of deaths, so we are quite concerned about it.”

Swinkels said it’s not known whether those who have died after taking fentanyl did so knowingly or whether the powerful opioid, which is about 100 times stronger than morphine, was mixed with other drugs.

“This public health emergency was called so that the health authority, the province and the communities can work together to prevent these very tragic deaths,” Swinkels said, as well as to work on “a number of initiatives we’ll be rolling out over the next number of weeks.”

A second report also released this week chronicles the number of illicit drug overdoses throughout B.C. So far this year, there have been more than 200 drug overdoses in which heroin, cocaine, MDMA, methamphetamine or other similar drugs were detected. If the trend continues, B.C. could see 600 to 800 overdose deaths this year.

In the Fraser Health region, overdose deaths have ranged from 45 in 2007 to 169 last year, with 55 reported so far this year.

Specific results were also reported for Coquitlam, which marked about three overdose deaths annually from 2007 to 2013, rising sharply to 10 in 2014 and 11 last year. There have been four reported in 2016.

In releasing the reports, the BC Coroner’s Service said it was working with CoquitlamPort Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon on the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act, which would reduce barriers for those seeking immediate help for someone suffering an overdose. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

District-wide student emergency release drill takes place in early May JUSTIN BEDDALL

The Tri-CiTy News

Recent earthquakes in Japan and Ecuador provide deadly reminders of the importance of emergency preparedness.

School District 43 has plans for the evacuation and controlled release of students in the event of an earthquake or other serious emergency and, in early May, each school will run a drill to make sure staff, students and parents are properly prepared.

Assistant superintendent Robert Zambrano said SD43 has all requisite emergency protocols and procedures in place but it has not practised a district-wide drill for several years.

“We intend this to be a learning process for everybody,” he said of the training exercise.

Most schools will run the drill on May 4 to coincide with Emergency Preparedness Week, which runs from May

SAMARITAN’S PURSE PHOTO

Earthquakes like that in Nepal and the recent ones in Japan and Ecuador have School District 43 planning drills next month.

2 to 6, but some have selected alternate days because of previously scheduled events.

The drill scenarios will include an earthquake evacuation and student release.

In a real-life emergency, once it’s deemed safe, schools will conduct “a controlled release of students” to the authorized adult identified in the student identification emergency release form or, if necessary, emergency medical responders.

Zambrano said this is a good time for parents to ensure their children’s emergency release information is up to date and their designated alternate pick-up person still lives within

close enough proximity to make it to the school in the event of an emergency.

“They say the first thing about being prepared at work or at school is families need to have a plan,” he said.

A letter from SD43 reminds parents to speak with their children about their school’s emergency plan and release procedures, and ensure they are aware of risks that could make streets unsafe after a disaster, such as gas leaks and downed power lines. All families are encouraged to have a plan in place for home, school and work.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Effects of previous cuts are ‘devastating’ continued from front page

STILL BEHIND

“There used to be middle school music specialist teachers. It would be nice to get that back,” said Kathy Fester.

There’s also no extra funding to add counsellors or more time for library teachers, services that were cut and have been added back to some schools and not others.

“The effect has been devastating,” said Karen Ferguson, a teacher-librarian who splits her time between two middle school libraries and teaches as well.

Books and databases for student research “go untouched,” Ferguson said.

Assistant superintendent Reno Ciolfi said there are fewer teachers doing library work now after $4.5 million in library time was given to other needs three years ago but he said the equivalent of 25 full-time positions in library time has been added back to SD43 schools, about half of what there was in previous years.

LOOKING AHEAD

But some are calling for the district to take a longer view when it plans for how it will

spend scarce dollars.

Coquitlam Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association president Ken Cober suggested priorities be set “into the future and planned collectively” in the event more money becomes available.

For others, it was the immediate need for services and needs going unmet that are the problem.

Counsellor Teresa Grandinetti said kids have more problems now than they did even five years ago and counsellors have more duties, resulting in stress and burnout.

Students are also contemplating suicide in greater numbers and some are harming themselves. At the same time, the job of counselling has expanded to include organizing special events, leading anti-bullying initiatives and helping kids transition to life after school, Grandinetti said, noting the number of counsellors hasn’t kept pace with the demand for services.

NOT ENOUGH

And where staff will be hired, the services aren’t enough to get the district back where it was or deal with growing waiting lists for assessments for children with

You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com learning problems or help with communication plans for students who are speechimpaired or non-verbal.

“They’re not communicating at all until someone comes out,” said Anya Bayley, a speech and language pathologist.

Students said they, too, are feeling the pinch. Sarah Parker, who is with the SD43 Student Leadership Council, said students are concerned about inadequate supplies, building repairs and a need for a focus on student mental health and wellness.

Trustees can expect to take the week to mull the budget numbers and the calls for improvements before making a final vote, and possibly some tweaks to the draft budget, on Tuesday, April 26.

MAY DAY PARADE

The Tri-CiTy News

A program that helps TriCity students with developmental disabilities get paid work could be coming to an end unless School District 43 can kick in some cash.

That’s the problem facing the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living (SFSCL), which has funded the Youth Employment Initiative that helped 15 SD43 students get jobs and another 11 learn job readiness skills with a grant from the Vancouver Foundation.

“I think we’ve got the bones here of a model that can create systemic change for kids across B.C. We can’t do any of it if we stop,” SFSCL’s Rachel le Nobel told The Tri-City News.

Helping students gain independence is another goal of the program and le Nobel said students are using fewer resources, such as education assistants, because they are learning life skills through the initiative.

Riverside secondary school student Myra Zwiep is one of 26 students benefitting from an employment-readiness program for students with developmental disabilities. At a meeting Tuesday, School District 43 trustees were asked for funding to expand the program to all eight SD43 high schools.

“They are starting to be selfdetermined adults now,” le Nobel said, citing the cases of graduating students who have gone on to study culinary arts and take full-time jobs and another student who no longer needs two support workers to get around school.

The program is currently available in three SD43 schools but the society would like to see

it expanded to all eight secondary schools, even across B.C. Up until now, the program has been free to SD43 but le Nobel is looking for SD43 to invest in the project. The nonprofit agency needs funding for two employment facilitators, a support worker and a parttime co-ordinator. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Keeping garbage secure so bears can’t get at it is a key to keeping them from becoming habituated to it as a source of food.

Busy bears in Tri-Cities and on North shore DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

The Tri-Cities and the North Shore continue to be hot spots for bear complaints, says the BC Conservation Officer Service.

In a conference call with media yesterday afternoon, Deputy Chief Chris Doyle reported that bear complaints are a “high priority” issue and reminded people to lock up their garbage and other attractants because “bears are emerging from dens.”

Heavy fines can be laid, Doyle also pointed out, with one individual found guilty for “negligently storing attractants” and fined $3,150.

Doyle said 300 calls about bear conflicts have been reported to the Conservation

Officer Service so far this month, most of them in the Tri-Cities and the North Shore.

He also reported that two yearling cubs, along with a female bear, were euthanized in the Tri-Cities because they had become conditioned to human food and habituated to people.

Doyle also reminded people that bears may head down to roadways to eat new plant shoots that are emerging and it’s dangerous to stop to photograph or feed them.

The problem can lead to “bear jams,” where cars block roadways and occasionally a bear might be hit by a vehicle.

“The safety of bears is an issue,” Doyle said, “and [there is a concern] about motor vehicle incidents. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

A Coquitlam RCMP officer who was suspended with pay after his online fetish photos were made public is still off the job — and being paid — four years later.

Cpl. James Brown’s disciplinary hearing has been repeatedly delayed since 2012 and has reportedly been adjourned indefinitely, but the Mountie is still collecting a paycheque, a debacle Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart calls “infuriating.”

“The RCMP needs to

complete the investigation or abandon it and reinstate him,” Stewart told The Tri-City News.

In 2012, several photos Brown had posted to the members-online fetish site Fetlife were sent to the media along with transcripts of online conversations. The photos included several of Brown engaged in various S&M poses while wearing his RCMP-issued boots.

Stewart said Brown’s paycheques don’t come directly from city coffers but from a broader E-Division account, funded on a per capita basis

across E Division member cities; nevertheless, he added, Brown appears to be on “a four-year paid holiday, which is really impossible to comprehend from a taxpayer’s perspective.”

A request for comment from BC RCMP E Division was not returned. Coquitlam RCMP said it does not comment on members’ disciplinary actions at the detachment level.

Stewart said the requirement to suspend an officer with pay is a national one and the detachment has no authority to suspend without pay

unless they receive Ottawa’s approval.

Brown has launched civil suits against the people he alleges accessed and sent the photos in 2012 and, more recently, against the Pacific Newspaper Group, which publishes the Vancouver Sun and The Province newspapers. Brown has also filed suit against Google Inc. to obtain subscriber information regarding an email address and an RCMP-related blog he alleges contained defamatory statements. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

OUR OPINION

Adrian Raeside is on vacation so he’s recycling some older — but timeless — ’toons

Just get along

T

he city of Coquitlam got itself in the midst of a neighbourhood squabble because its bylaws allow it to step in if noise disturbs residents.

This noise bylaw puts the city high up in the hierarchy of nanny states when it effectively wrote a bad parenting notice to Jana D’Addabbo, telling her to control her kids because they were being noisy and riding skateboards unsafely.

Judging from the barrage of social media comments, one person’s joyful screams are another person’s headaches and the city ended up having to weigh in on the issue, apparently after multiple complaints from neighbours.

It would seem in this day and age people should be able to get along and sort out their own problems without getting the city involved. At one time, social ostracization was the tool, now it’s social media and city bylaw officers — the latter not necessarily a good use of taxpayer’s dollars but apparently a requirement.

As we live in increasingly denser quarters, it would seem that we either learn to get along or pay to have others solve our disputes.

Honouring Canadian vets & their service AS I SEE IT

A mountain, a book and national honours are the unexpected outcome of a Tri-City News article, Guy Black writes in this piece, which is being published in recognition of the First World War battle of Vimy Ridge, which took place April 9 to 17, 1917 in France.

O GUY BLACK

n Feb. 9 of this year, The Tri-City News published an article about my search for local veterans, whom I planned to interview and write about for a special display about their wartime experiences.

The article led to my being contacted by almost a dozen people, most of them local residents with one exception — the article found its way to Alberta.

Since then, I have spent almost every weekend talking to these men and women, gaining a first-hand account of things they experienced, both good and bad.

One family had a grandfather who worked at the Ioco Refinery in Port Moody and lived at the former townsite. He also served with the North Vancouver Military Engineers in the First World War and, after surviving the

TC

war, wrote about that time. His true tale has been recorded in a small notebook and is now ready to begin its journey to becoming a book, titled Sapper in the Great War. Another interview led to me finding out how much one 92-year-old veteran has been doing to keep alive the message of remembrance.

This wartime sailor who made it through perilous convoy duty in the North Atlantic has made as many as 62 public presentations about his wartime experiences. It is hoped he will receive a special award in recognition of his efforts for the past 12 years to raise awareness about the wartime contributions of Canadian vets.

Another story I learned through this experience is one about a local veteran with a Port Moody connection. He was a daredevil supply convoy escort with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps who rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle from Normandy, France across western Europe to Germany during the Second World War. His father, who worked at the Flavelle Mill

on PoMo’s waterfront, also enlisted with the North Vancouver Engineers in the 1939- to ’45 war. The daredevil motorcyclist has been nominated for a national honour for his participation in the liberation of France.

And another family member who is also connected to the North Vancouver Engineers enlisted at the age of 45 in 1916. Sadly, in 1918, he was killed when an enemy artillery shell landed nearby. Plans are being made to have a B.C. mountain named after him through the BC Geographical Names Service.

At a future date, once the honours have been confirmed, I hope to identify these amazing individuals. In the meantime, I am continuing to meet Port Moody veterans and welcome hearing from more and would like to offer my help to anyone from the Tri-City area who lost a family member during wartime service.

• The commemorative place naming program for B.C. residents is an important and lasting way to remember and I am happy to help families with this initiative.

Please contact me by email at korea19501953@yahoo. com, using the subject “veteran.”

Don’t spend money to let absent councillors ‘attend’ The Editor, Re. “PoMo may pay $45k so councillors not at meetings can participate” (The Tri-City News, April 15).

I was outraged to learn of Port Moody council’s experiment with councillors “attending” council meetings by Skype. Why? First, our city councillors are paid well to participate in their civic duties and responsibilities. I think attendance at city council meetings is their top priority where citizens with issues may “see the whites of their eyes.” Face-toface interaction is crucial.

Will Coun. Rob Vagramov be quaffing a beer in his living room while he is “attending” an e-council meeting over Skype?

Residents with disabilities are expected to drag themselves to council meetings to speak to issues. I would be more sympathetic if the remote conferencing was being provided for our disabled and

shut-in residents to participate in council meetings.

Second, the concept of a quorum for a council meeting would cease to have practical meaning. How many of our six councillors and mayor can be physically absent but e-present for a meeting to still have a quorum?

The article also mentioned “the need to have a senior staff member sitting in the councillor’s seat to assist in the speaking and voting process.”

It reminds me of a late scene

in The Wizard of Oz where a terrified Dorothy is assailed by the disembodied voice of the wizard.

Finally, switching from Skype to “a professional-grade conferencing system would cost close to $45,000.” Why should the property tax and business licence payers of Port Moody pay higher rates for the convenience of our well-paid councillors?

Coun. Meghan Lahti remarked: “I’d like to look… at where we can find the

Thank You!

We need more storage for our plentiful water The Editor, Re. “Water meters getting a look” (The Tri-City News, April 20).

Reading the annual talk about our so-called water shortage looming and the needs for conservation, water metering and cutbacks in usage to save the world, I have wondered do we have a shortage of water or just a storage shortage.

While busy working to pay the man his taxes and leave a crumb for my family to survive, grow and move ahead in our expensive region, I was able to sneak in some very basic research. Our water storage areas were built between 1890 and 1960. In 1960, Greater Vancouver had about 900,000 folks. In 2011, it looks like about 2.5 million. Call that 2.8-times growth. Has our water storage been expanded 2.8 times over the same period? If the regional district last built one in 1960 and we keep growing at only 1% a year, we are losing every year.

Some politicians promote the solution of installing meters at $400 to $1,000 a pop and spending more to promote

conservation. What have we accomplished? Nothing, really, and we still have the math dripping away.

We would probably need an army of water folks installing, repairing and measuring those meters. We would probably need to work longer and harder to pay for them, too.

Some further basic research shows we get about 2,500 mm of rainfall annually in the mountains where the reservoirs are located. Let’s get serious before we talk about our shortage. Let’s get the clear facts on storage.

I suspect the clear solution will show we need more storage and, in doing so, it will prove to be cheaper, more efficient and build on our advantage here in this region. We have water, good clean water and shall I say buckets of it.

Calling all politicians in Metro Vancouver to do something smart for all the people here today and in the future: Build us some more storage before you make us all work harder for nothing.

budget for something like this [‘Cadillac’ conference system].”

For more than a decade, my neighbourhood has been lobbying without success for pedestrian-activated flashing lights at a crosswalk that serves our elementary school.

Council appears to be favouring its convenience over the lives of residents. I guess that is what Coun. Vagramov was referring to as “the bleeding edge.”

One more thing: Last Thursday afternoon, I attended the Seniors Focus Committee meeting for April.

Coun. Lahti, an ex-officio member, was absent. Coun.

Zoe Royer joined the meeting 45 minutes late. Perhaps the real problem is that the city has too many committees and meetings for council to manage. The solution is fewer meetings with full face-to-face contact and e-access for residents who need it.

Gleneagle hosts talks on mental health DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

COQUITLAM.CA/TRASHTALK

A group of Gleneagle secondary students is organizing an event to inspire hope and start conversations about mental health.

The third annual Talk to Me event will be held Friday, May 6, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Coquitlam school’s multipurpose room.

“We really want community members to be there, we want to invite mayors, city councillors, students, their families and teachers from schools all over the district,” said Emma Juergensen, a leadership student who is one of the organizers.

“Our goal is to start a conversation within the school and community and to break down the stigma around mental health.”

The evening has a strong lineup of speakers, including Coquitlam’s Dave Jonsson, a plane crash survivor and motivational speaker; Sharon Villars, founder of Bootstraps Lifeskills; and David Emerald, the bestselling author of The Empowerment Dynamic. As well, there will be presenters from the Mood Disorders Association speakers’ bureau and a slam poetry performance by Gleneagle students.

Juergensen said the event is being held to encourage people to feel more comfortable about dealing with mental

REAL ESTATE

Tougher penalties expected in real estate reforms JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

B.C. real estate superintendent Carolyn Rogers has signalled she will recommend wide-ranging reforms of the real estate industry, including much tougher penalties to punish and deter realtors who are found to have engaged in predatory practices.

Her comments are contained in an interim report of an advisory group she was appointed to chair in the wake of revelations of misconduct by realtors in the overheated Vancouver-area real estate market.

The main example has been the practice of undisclosed shadow-flipping, where the home is resold to other, different buyers than the original one prior to closing — unbeknownst to the seller — allowing intermediaries to extract profits and realtors to collect more commissions, while ultimately driving up prices.

Rogers noted realtors are expected to solely defend their client’s best interests at all times and suggested the current ability of realtors to represent both sides of a transaction creates risk that advantage may be taken of some consumers.

“Abusing otherwise legal practices such as assigning contracts or acting in any way that fails to clearly disclose the interests of a licensee or puts those interests ahead of a client’s interests, cannot be tolerated,” Rogers said.

Her report indicates the Real Estate Council of B.C. should get more enforcement tools to regulate realtors, and that all contract assignments be re-

ported directly to the council.

She said penalties for unethical behaviour must be increased significantly — potentially with additional commissions and profits confiscated — and those penalties must apply to more types of infractions.

Premier Christy Clark had previously promised the province will deliver reforms to take the profit out of shady practices.

Rogers also flags “blurred lines” between the Real Estate Council of B.C. and industry realtor associations, which have taken on quasi-regulatory functions.

Also of concern, the report says, is that real estate licensees have reported misconduct to the media but not to official channels, apparently out of concern for repercussions.

B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said he believes Rogers’ probe is on the right track and he’s particularly concerned about her findings of blurred lines between the regulating council and real estate industry associations.

“Is the regulatory structure itself equipped to properly protect the public interest?” de Jong asked. “It needs to be clear to consumers and clients who has primary responsibility for that.”

He also acknowledged “the influence this red hot market is having on the industry.”

Real Estate Council of B.C. chair Marylou Leslie said the council fully supports the advisory group’s work.

Rogers’ advisory group is aiming to deliver a final report and recommendations in early June. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

The late Cole Marsh, who died after he jumped into Lynn Canyon.

COLE MARSH

Body of Coq. teen found & recovered in Lynn Canyon SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

North Shore Search and Rescue volunteers were able to reach the body of Cole Marsh late Tuesday afternoon, three weeks after the Coquitlam teen jumped from the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver.

Marsh was with friends at the popular attraction on March 28, the last day of spring break, when he jumped at about 4:30 p.m. He clung to the rocks for about half an hour but dropped into the water before rescuers could reach him.

Michael Danks, North Shore Search and Rescue team leader, said volunteers put in more than 1,900 hours over the following 12 days trying to locate Marsh and then to pull him from the water.

“Our team was very motivated to provide closure for the family,” Danks said.

The team had equipment specially fabricated to try to reach the boy’s body and went through four underwater cameras during the rescue, which involved lowering rescuers down on a portable ledge suspended above the pool as well as kayak and swift-water rescue members.

“So much heart went into this call — no one wanted to

give up,” Danks said. “It was a very technical rescue because of the area he was in… was a swift-water environment with a very large waterfall beside us and fluctuating water levels.”

A number of agencies assisted in the search, including North Vancouver fire departments and RCMP, Lynn Canyon park rangers, Metro Vancouver, Dynamic Rescue, Talon Helicopters and more.

“We’re all trying to get the message out to everyone that visits the canyon, it’s not safe to jump in those areas and I think this is a prime example of what can happen,” Danks said, noting that even though the cliffs lure jumpers every summer, rescuers never condone such activity.

“Even if you have ideal water conditions, there’s still a very serious danger when doing these cliff jumps. Some of them are 90 feet high. There are so many fatalities and so many injuries, even for people who know that area well.”

A well-liked local lacrosse player, Marsh was due to graduate from Terry Fox secondary this year.

Rotary Club of Port Moody members (from left) Peter Cuthbert, Al Stjernegaard, Alan Schmelzel and Trudy Gallant hoist a (small) glass as they look forward to the Search for the Perfect Pint event May 12 at the Port Moody city hall galleria. Those lucky enough to get a ticket (the event is sold out) get a two-ounce tasting glass, which they can use to get samples of more than 100 beers from about 20 craft breweries. The event is expected to raise $25,000 for Rotary’s international endeavours, including Rotary World Help, which transports medical equipment around the world, greenhouse projects and more. The group is also gearing up for its biggest fundraiser, RibFest at Rocky Point Park July 22 to 24.

GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam council will have another round of public hearings Monday evening on proposed changes to the city’s liquor regulations.

This time, staff have split the bylaw amendments into two pieces: one would allow liquor manufacturing with accessory retails sales while another would deal with liquor stores within grocery stores.

Residents will get a chance to weigh in on the proposals during Monday’s meeting at city hall (3000 Guildford Way).

This is the second time the public has had a chance to comment on the proposed regulations. The issue came to a public hearing in February but the process had to begin anew after council suggested amendments to the rules after

the hearing took place.

If the first bylaw is passed, it would allow liquor manufacturing — including craft breweries and distilleries — to operate in the city and serve liquor in tasting rooms.

The second bylaw would permit liquor stores to operate within large grocery stores under the store-within-a-store model recently allowed by provincial liquor law changes.

A 300 m separation distance between liquor stores and public parks and places of worship would be removed while the separation distance between liquor stores and schools would be reduced from 300 to 150 m. The regulations would maintain the 300 m separation distance between liquor stores.

TRI-CITY HERITAGE

Looking back on a good year – 1956, that is YOUR HISTORY BRYAN NESS

H

ow can you decide whether a particular year from the past was a good year or bad one.

The year 1956, for example, began with a changing of the old political guard in Port Coquitlam. Incumbent mayor Charles Davies handed over the leadership of the city to newcomer John Oughton on Jan. 3. The popular Mr. Davies had served more than 30 years on council, including the last nine years in the top job. Two new aldermen, Fred Brummer and Harold Routley, also won seats on the council. The city was growing rapidly during those post-war baby boom years and many changes seemed to be happening overnight.

Work commenced on replacing the old Pitt River Bridge that had connected Lougheed Highway to points east since 1915. Old-timers may remember trying to squeeze by an oncoming large bus or truck while attempting to drive across that old narrow span. A temporary Bailey bridge was put in place to handle traffic until the new Government Bridge was finally opened by B.C. premier W.A.C. Bennett in 1957.

The Shaughnessy Street

A newspaper clipping (right) shows plans for the Centennial Pool in Port Coquitlam, an outdoor facility where children were able to take swimming lessons (above). downtown business district welcomed the opening of the modern three-storey Golden Ears Hotel on May 31, with owners Gene Boileau and Fred Warman providing the city’s south side with first-class dining and banquet facilities.

The beverage room (more commonly known as a beer parlour) was also quite popular, although the liquor laws of the day required separate entrances for men and women. The Bank of Montreal also opened its doors that year on Shaughnessy Street and, yes, both sexes could use the same door.

Port Coquitlam’s 32nd annual May Day was held at Aggie Park on May 26, the May Queen was Ruth Langley, a student from Cedar Drive elementary who accepted her crown from retiring Queen Sylvia Luschnat. Even with the addition of Viscount Alexander school in 1951, older students from Port Coquitlam still had to attend neighbouring Port Moody high in order to complete their high school education. Among the list of Grade 12 graduates from June 1956 were Ted Dobson, Waverley Gates, Doug Rooney and

Geraldine Statton.

With an eye to future population growth, work began on clearing the new Mary Hill residential subdivision, estimated

to cost $20,000,000 when completed by the Yorkshire Corporation in 1957. There was also word that a large, unnamed construction firm was

about to purchase 100 acres on Burke Mountain for additional future urban development.

The year 1956 was a popular year for weddings.

Among those joined in holy matrimony were local lassies Stephanie (Stewart) Friesen, Pat (McLaine) Hanson, Phyllis (Watkins) Donnelly and Fay (McCallum) Goddard. We also saw the passing of pioneers Edgar Pollard, Bessie Donaldson and Christina Maday, and mourned the death of 13-year-old Myrtle Bitcon, who drowned while swimming that summer in the Coquitlam River. It was this tragedy that finally spurred the city to choose the building of the Centennial Pool at Aggie Park as its 1958 Centennial project, finally giving local children a safe place to swim without the dangers of the surrounding rivers, which had claimed so many young lives over the years.

I wonder how many possible deaths in the future were averted because of that decision made 60 years ago, how many people are alive today because of it?

Looking back now many years later, you could say 1956 was a good year after all.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Beyond composting: Happy Earth Day No. 46 LIVING GREEN

MELISSA CHAUN

L

ast month, I wrote about composting — creating healthy soils to grow healthy plants. Today, in celebration of Earth Day and in recognition that our food footprint is our largest ecological footprint, here is the next step we can all try to take.

According to a recent article with the headline “Don’t bin it — eat it!” in Woman’s Weekly Magazine, a U.K. publication, the amount of food tossed every year amounts to approximately one municipal green bin per resident — that’s roughly $1,300 worth of food. Moreover, some 63% of what’s composted is not only edible but can add flavour and boost the nutrient content of a dish. Here are some examples: • Fruit skins/peelings: Orange peel is rich in hesperidin, an antioxidant with antiinflammatory properties. Zest in baking or cooking is flavourful, requiring less sugar and salt to be used. Before peeling, wash

fruit (preferably organic), then grate or cut off zest, avoiding the bitter white pith. Apple skins are rich in fibre, potassium and a heart-friendly flavonoid (quercetin). Bake with skin on or make apple-peel chips, baking at lowest setting with cinnamon and a little sugar.

• Bread crusts: Growing up, we always had a healthy supply of bread crusts (thanks to dad’s rejects). Once dried, grind up in a food processor and use for gratin (e.g. grilled portabellas, stuffed peppers, etc.). You’ll also use less cheese. Make croutons by simply breaking up the crusts, spraying with oil and baking until completely dried.

• Butternut squash or pumpkin seeds: Loaded with heart-friendly unsaturated fats, protein, fibre, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese, they can be separated from the flesh, rinsed, drained and air-dried before being tossed with olive oil, herbs or spices, and roasted on a baking sheet at 170 C for 25 minutes until golden.

• Vegetable peelings: Rich in fibre and antioxidants, the skins of potatoes, carrots, parsnips and yams can be enjoyed intact (again, ideally organic and scrubbed well), or baked into colourful chips by spritzing with olive oil and baking at 200 C for 15 to 20 minutes until crisp.

Who doesn’t love chips?

• Cauliflower leaves: These

COUNCIL MEETINGS

can be steamed and enjoyed along with the florets or shredded to add to soup and stir-fries. In the same family as cabbage, kale and broccoli, cauliflower leaves are rich in immune-boosting vitamin A and C, folate and iron.

• Leek tops. The green portion contains folate, a B vitamin required for strong immunity, as well as a flavonoid (kaempferol) thought to keep bloodvessel linings healthy. Coarsely chop for soups or casseroles (in lieu of onion) or finely cut into thin strips for stir-fries.

• Onion/shallot skins: Remove only the first layer of skin as the outer layers are packed with antioxidants. Like apple peel, red onion skin contains quercetin.

• Chicken/fish bones (heads, tails) and shrimp shells: Make your own low-sodium stock by simmering these in water with spices of choice.

Cooking with meat, juices can be drained, refrigerated to remove fat and then made into low-sodium gravy when

While composting is a good way to dispose of organic waste, some of that doesn’t have to be waste — it can be eaten, writes Melissa Chaun. combined with water and corn flour (thickener). The “washer upper” will thank you, too.

• Parmesan rind: This can be added to stocks, tomato sauces, soups or risotto while they’re cooking, then removed before serving. Rinds can be frozen for use later as well.

Enjoy experimenting with these suggestions, discovering your own, sharing ideas with others and knowing you are making the very most out of healthy wholesome foods — for your body and the planet.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

STEVE CHAPMAN HIKE OF THE WEEK Coquitlam Lake Viewpoint Rating: strenuous Time Needed: 6 to 7 hours Length: 14 km Elevation gain: 680 m

T

his hike takes in some of the best that Burke Mountain has to offer — no fewer than four waterfalls

and a spectacular viewpoint overlooking Coquitlam Lake, Eagle Ridge, Vancouver Island and the forbidden lands of the Coquitlam watershed. The elevation gain and distance also make this hike a good workout.

Start the hike at the end of Harper Road by the entrance to the gun club, taking a mountain bike trail up on the left from where the yellow gate is (watch out for mountain bikers coming down and give them room).

Where the trail reaches a track at the top, turn left and follow the Woodland Walk for about a kilometre until it merges with the BC Hydro service road. The views open up nicely here to the northwest as you follow the road for about 700 m over a bridge. The

ABOVE: TRICITIESMAP.COM; TOP: STEVE CHAPMAN PHOTO

This week’s hike — 14 km, with an elevation gain of 680 m — takes more than six hours and is a tough one but results in stunning views like that in the photo top right of Coquitlam Lake.

bridge is the site of the first waterfall, quite often a miserable dribble over excavation debris.

Just before the service road turns steeply down near its end, look up for a trail on the right above the road rubble.

Climb the rubble to gain the well-marked continuation of the Woodland Walk. Follow this over streams, past a crazy mountain bike jump and a massive old tree stump to the next waterfalls.

When confronted with splits in the trail keep to the left options. The Woodland Walk Falls are much more of a sight than the previous falls and a better view can be had by climbing down the very steep side trail to the base. Be careful on the slippery rocks at the bottom.

TAKE A HIKE

Continue up steeply on the main path to emerge in about 15 minutes at a clearing with some nice views through the gap in the trees. Continuing from this viewpoint, you will soon arrive at a fairly indistinct T junction. The trail going right is the upper part of the Woodland Walk Loop. This will be your return route but, for now, take the left branch, which will bring you onto a track. Head left on the track and then up a path that takes you to Sawblade Falls. These falls are easily the most spectacular on the mountain and are featured on the front cover of Lyle Litzenberger’s book Burke and Widgeon — A Hiker’s Guide.

Retrace from the falls and then follow the Sawblade

this for about 600 m, looking out for a very steep trail on the right that takes you up to the viewpoint — the highlight of the walk. The viewpoint is on a small rocky outcrop that has steep drop-offs, so be careful near the edge.

Return via the same way. A nice alternative return option is to take the upper loop of the Woodland Walk, which is signposted from the junction described earlier. This brings you out on the BC Hydro service road about 300 m north of the bridge.

mountain bike trail up to another track at the top. Turn left on to this and cross the creek below the last waterfall of the hike. Shortly after the creek, take the new Coquitlam Lake View Trail up into the trees, following this all the way up to one final partially overgrown track at the top. Head north on

ALZHEIMER’S WALK ON MAY 1

Artist to be honoured at Alzheimer’s walk DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam artist who struggled with Alzheimer’s disease during his final years will be honoured next month during the Tri-Cities Walk for Alzheimer’s.

Douglas Charles was a wellknown local painter and interior designer who was a member of the Port Moody Art Club and the Dogwood Art Club.

His partner, Liz Thunstrom, said she hopes the recognition will provide comfort to other families with loved ones who

have Alzheimer’s.

“The family were extremely honoured, it was a surprise to us,” said Thunstrom, noting the walk is an important event for raising funds for programs that support families.

“It’s about increasing awareness that anybody can get this disease at any time. There is no way you can prevent it but there are supports there for everybody that help you get though it. It doesn’t make it better, but it helps you cope,” Thunstrom said.

When she and Charles first learned of the diagnosis, they

were devastated. “You feel so alone,” said Thunstrom.

But through various Alzheimer Society of BC programs, such as Shaping the Journey and the Cameron Early Stage Group, the couple found friends and support.

“It was important to us that people didn’t just shut us out once Doug was diagnosed,” she said. “Friends, families and neighbors were still very supportive. That made a huge difference.”

In fact, some friends and family will be joining Thunstrom as she takes part in

the 2016 Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s May 1 in PoCo.

THE DETAILS

The walk starts at noon with registration at the Hyde Creek rec centre and walkers taking a stroll along the Traboulay PoCo Trail from 1 to 3 p.m.

KIDS & FAMILIES

McDougall now heading ACT2 A Tri-Cities agency serving children recovering from the effects of sexual abuse, neglect and other trauma has a new executive director.

Fran McDougall is now the head of ACT2 Child and Family Services in Coquitlam, replacing Brad Watson, who retired after seven years at the helm of the social service agency.

“I am honoured to join such an essential service supporting victims of abuse and neglect. I strongly believe that if caring support, guidance and safety is provided, children and their families will have hope for a better life,” McDougall said in a press release.

McDougall’s former work included posts at Abbotsford Community

Services, Fraser Valley Child Development Centre, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Canada and Seton Villa Retirement Centre for lowincome seniors.

ACT 2 Child and Family Services was created by Vi Roden, who, in the late 1970s, realized many incarcerated women had experienced sexual abuse in their lifetime.

At the time, public awareness of sexual abuse was limited and the services supporting children and families dealing with it was virtually nonexistent.

TRI-CITY PLAY SPACES

Tri-City spaces vie for BCAA play cash A number of Tri-City parks and schools are in the running for a grant from BC Automobile Association.

BCAA is donating up to $100,000 to revitalize a play space somewhere in B.C. and nominated projects can be viewed and voted on online.

It could be a park, a playground, a sporting facility or an after-school study area, BCAA says in a press release, but if it’s

a place where kids can spend their time and develop valuable life skills, the association wants to hear how it can be improved to make it a safer, better place for kids to play.

While many parents and communities are doing their own fundraising, BCAA sees the prize as possibly helping supplement those goals to get projects completed.

Nominations are open until

May 1 at www.bcaaplayhere. com, where you can also view current Tri-City proposals, which include: • Mountain View elementary school in Coquitlam; • Nestor elementary school in Coquitlam; • along the Coquitlam River; • Rocky Point Park in Port Moody; • and Chip Kerr Park, also in Moody.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC

Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most.

The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil.

By realizing full value, everyone will benefit.

In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

Quality + Craftsmanship + Location = ESCALA

rentwood has grown up. Today, this is a sought-after neighbourhood with great outdoor cafes and fabulous shopping, parks and trails, recreational amenities, and a historic business district, all within walking distance. This is where award-winning developer Ledingham McAllister chose for its newest development – Escala.

Imagine waking up each morning in your new home and looking out at a vibrant cityscape with unparalleled mountain, downtown and water views. Designed by the world-renowned IBI Group Architects, Escala offers all that and more.

“This is Phase 2… we completed the first phase Aviara in the fall of 2015 to resounding success,” says George Wong, principal of Magnum Projects, which is marketing this project. “We have many first-time home buyers and emptynesters, and all said that this community delivers the highest-value luxury homes

in Burnaby.”

Nestled in one of Burnaby’s most livable, fastest growing urban communities, Escala is an architecturally stunning 42-storey luxury high-rise glass tower, along with two West Coast contemporary low-rises called the Terra Collection, soaring against the backdrop of North Burnaby’s historic real estate district.

Escala and The Terra Collection combined is an exclusive collection of 520 high-end one bed plus den, two bed, two bed plus den and three bedroom condos and townhomes that is redefining both the North Burnaby landscape as well as superb luxury living.

Escala is bringing Yaletown-style homes to Burnaby. The amenities are world-class; they are attracting many a discerning buyer who appreciates the convenience and peace of mind of having a hotel-style lobby with concierge service – showcased by a marble entrance lined by striking water features and a

welcoming, overheight fireside lounge.

The exclusive glass-and-concrete homes offer two looks – traditional sophistication or modern, light and vivacious. These residences, ranging from 660 to over 1,600 square feet, feature air-conditioning in high-rise homes only, open floor plans, durable 32-ounce nylon carpeting in all bedrooms, high end laminate flooring throughout the main living space, deluxe roller-blind window coverings throughout, spacious walk-in or walk-through closet with shelving in master bedroom and oversized covered balconies or patios. The nine-foot ceilings and expansive windows provide an airy, naturally bright home that offers sweeping downtown, mountain and water views.

The gourmet kitchen was designed to inspire with its Caesarstone countertops, contemporary tile backsplash, energyefficient, stainless-steel appliances, and a premium Kohler “Strive” under-mount,

Homeowners will also have access to their own 15,000-square-foot private resort-style amenities centre, Club Escala, highlighted by an indoor pool, spa, yoga and pilates studio, steam room, sauna, fully equipped fitness centre, party room, music room, theatre, billiards, ping pong, guest suites, a fireside social lounge, as well as a landscaped outdoor terrace with barbecue facilities. “It’s a level of features and finishes that is unprecedented in Burnaby,” adds Wong.

This is truly the height of refined urban living in one of Burnaby’s finest postal codes. At Escala, every detail has been carefully planned to offer superiority and affordable living spaces. Public previews begin on Saturday, April 23 at Escala’s presentation centre, located at 1710 Gilmore Ave at noon sharp.

Bee-friendly gardens can help you and environment IN THE GARDEN

BRIAN MINTER

I

t’s of worldwide concern that the populations of all bees, in particular honeybees (Apis mellifera), are under multiple threats. The loss of natural habitat, stress, lack of nutrition, use of neonicotinoid insecticides, a parasitic mite (Varroa destructor) and many bacterial and viral diseases seem to be the prime causes of decline in all bee species.

Approximately 33% of the food we eat today would not be in stores without these hardworking insects. They pollinate 90% of all apples, blueberries and vegetables like broccoli and onions; 80% of cucumbers, celery and cherries; and 100% of all almonds.

Bees are very resourceful and able to adapt to even urbanized areas. As a gardening community, we should make a thoughtful commitment to create bee-friendly habitats that will attract not only honeybees but also mason bees and bumblebees. There are over 4000 species of native bees in North America. Honeybees are recent introductions brought by early settlers from Europe in the 1700s. The majority of wild honeybees make their nests in the ground, so it is important not to drench your soil with harmful pesticides. They can also nest in cavities found in trees, fences and older buildings.

Our gardens should include bee-friendly plants that will, over a long continuous period of time, provide both pollen and nectar. On the West Coast, this timeframe could be from January through December.

Although native plants may be preferred, bees are attracted to many different types of plants, from annuals and perennials to trees and shrubs. It seems that honeybees prefer flowers with more nectar, while mason bees tend to prefer flowers with more pollen. This is why diversity is key.

There are many flowers that provide both pollen and nectar during the main growing season but it

can be more difficult to find earlier and later flowering sources. Ideal early-flowering plants for zone 5 and higher are the large family of helleborus, winter-flowering heathers, Armeria maritimas, Geranium macrorrhizum, columbines, prostrate Sedum spathulifoliums and mahonias.

For main season plants that attract bees with both nectar and pollen, I’m very impressed with the many new agastaches.

I can’t get over the numbers of bees attracted to these plants.

Centaurea ‘Caramia’, another superstar bee attractor, has frilly mauve flowers loaded with pollen all summer long.

Scabiosas, lupines, foxgloves, coreopsis and lavender plants are all bee favourites.

Echinacea purpurea and Solidago canadensis are North American natives that bees love, and they carry on blooming well into fall. One of the single most popular bee-friendly plants is sea holly or Eryngium planum - they are almost never without bees. Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’, Michaelmas daisy, Aster novi-belgii’ and rudbeckias push pollen and nectar until late October. Heliopsis ‘Table Mountain’ is the very latest blooming perennial I know, often blooming through November.

These plants, as well as many others, are great garden plants and very bee-friendly.

Observation is key. When you see any flower that is attracting a wide range of bees, make note and add it to your collection.

There are also custom flower seed mixes designed for attracting bees over a longer period of time. All you do is rake in the seed when we get day time soil temperatures of 10°C, keep them moist and watch these dual purpose mixes make a beautiful addition to your garden while providing both pollen and nectar. Make sure the seeds are not treated with fungicides that can be potentially harmful to bees.

I’m convinced the gardening community can make a significant contribution to the welfare of all bees by creating much needed new habitats.

Whenever you see the flowers on your trees, perennials and annuals smothered in bees, it will be a heart-warming sight to know you are helping out one of nature’s most critical allies.

AVIVA TAKES MEDALS AT B.C. TITLE EVENT

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

The Terry Fox Ravens downed the Gleneagle Talons 38-19 in high school rugby action last week. The Ravens have been on a roll for most of the regular season but came up short against Earl Marriott secondary this week, losing 14-0 to the Surrey club.

HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY

Ravens’ roll ends against EMS Terry Fox Ravens’ undefeated streak ends in Surrey The Terry Fox Ravens AAA high school rugby team hit a brick wall Tuesday night.

The high-flying Ravens had been racking up win after win but came up short against Earl Marriott secondary, who bested the Port Coquitlam club 14-0.

With the loss, the team finished up its regular season play with a 3-1-1 record.

Last Thursday, Fox bested its Tri-City rivals the Gleneagle Talons, defeating the Coquitlam club to hang on to first place in their pool.

Both teams were unbeaten heading into last week’s contest, but the Ravens quickly took the lead with tries from Isaac Evans, Jake Laberge and Malcolm Sanchez to lead 19-14 at the half.

Fox would start to pull away in the second, with two more tries from Sanchez and one from Adam Saeed to close out the game 38-19. Man of the match honours went to

Gleneagle scrum half Martin Norman.

“I was really impressed with how our boys played,” said Ravens co-coach Mike Collins.

“There is a great deal to work on, but there is no denying their desire and effort.”

He added that Gleneagle put up a strong fight and made things difficult for the club throughout the game.

“It was a show of what Coquitlam rugby could be,” he added.

Two days earlier, the Ravens struggled to get a winning result in a contest against the

Elgin Park Orcas.

Despite taking a 7-0 lead early in the match on a Trent Cooper score and Sean Stewart convert, the team let their opponents back into the game.

Elgin Park tied things up in the second half and a stingy defence on both sides kept the game tied until the final whistle.

Last recent matches were much closer than the bout the team played against Charles Best last week.

The Blue Devils struggled to contain the Ravens, who put up a 29-0 half time lead with

tries from Evans, Taylor Poitras, Cooper Courvoisier and Josiah Mastandrea. Two converts were scored by Devin Passaglia.

In the second, the Ravens kept up their dominance, eventually winning the game 41-5.

With one week left in the regular season, there are still more games to be played.

On Tuesday, the Dr. Charles Best secondary Blue Devils will take on the Gleneagle Talons, while Port Moody secondary is scheduled to play the Talons on May 3.

Best is best in high school girls soccer Another game and another win for the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils AAA high school girls’ soccer team.

The Coquitlam club ex-

tended its win streak to five games Wednesday afternoon, shutting out Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens 2-0.

With the victory, Best maintains its position at the top of the North Zone standings with a 5-0-0 record, good enough for 15 points and a goal differential of 16-2.

Second place in the stand-

ings is Coquitlam’s Centennial Centaurs, a squad that tied Port Moody’s Heritage Woods Kodiaks 2-2 Wednesday night.

The Cents have logged a 3-1-1 record in their five regular season games this season, one up on the Kodiaks who sit in third place at 2-2-1.

Meanwhile, the Riverside Rapids notched their second

win of the season, topping the Gleneagle Talons 2-1.

Gleneagle is still looking for its first win of the year and currently sits at 0-0-5.

The teams will get back at it on Monday when the Kodiaks host the Blue Devils and the Rapids host the Talons. More games are scheduled for Wednesday, April 28, when

Fellow Aviva gymnast Matthew Cardoso also took gold in the level two double mini trampoline, while Jordyn Beyer won third in the women’s level 2 trampoline event.

Kaleb WhitingWilliams, a level four competitor, took silver in both the men’s trampoline and double mini trampoline.

Athletes also had an opportunity to compete in synchronized trampoline at this event, with Emily Christie and Riley Sondergaard taking bronze in the women’s level four and Nicolas Lamond and Matthew Dykman taking bronze in men’s level three.

The Club Aviva team is now preparing for the 2016 Western Canada Cup, which will be held in Calgary next month.

Tri-City Coast wrestlers take national titles Wrestlers bring back medals from national event

Tri-City wrestler Daniel Chernetski is a national champion after besting the competition at the Cadet and Juvenile National Wrestling Championships in Calgary last week.

The Pinetree secondary student, who is coached by Frank Mensah and is a member of the Coast Wrestling Academy, took gold in the cadet boys division,

beating out all opponents in the 58 kg weight class.

But Chernetski was not the only Coquitlam wrestler to take a trip to the podium.

Fellow Pinetree secondary student and Coast Wrestling Academy athlete Jacqueline Lew won the 49 kg weight class in the juvenile girls division.

This was Lew’s third trip to the nationals, where last year she placed first in the 46 kg division and landed a spot on the national team.

Last week’s win means that Lew will maintain her spot on the national squad and she is

expected to be Canada’s representative in the Pan American championships in Peru this summer.

A handful of other local wrestlers made their way to the championships last week.

Sunita Sewak, a Centennial secondary student, placed third in the juvenile girls division 52 kg weight class and second in the Greco Roman division event. Kye mills, a Pinetree secondary student competing in the 46 kg weight class, took silver in the cadet boys division, while Harry Valdez finished sixth in the 54 kg weight class.
