KWIKWETLEM FIRST NATION

kwikwetlem plan to build

Open house to be held on May 26 Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Kwikwetlem first Nation can trace its roots back nearly 9,000 years around the Coquitlam River.

Now, the 82-member band has an eye on the future with

the proposed development of housing, warehouses and an aboriginal health campus on 113 acres of its territory in Port Coquitlam.

Its plans will be unveiled at an open house hosted by Chief Ron Giesbrecht and his council on Tuesday, May 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the gym at Central elementary school (2260 Central ave., PoCo). on Monday, PoCo city

council unanimously supported the Kwikwetlem’s draft land use plans, with Mayor Greg Moore congratulating the newly re-elected Giesbrecht for reaching out to the community.

“This is not a requirement of them,” Moore said. “We have absolutely zero control in what they do with their land.”

blue Sky Properties will give six months notice before the building needs to be vacated rather than the two months required by law.

The company has also offered to waive rents for some displaced residents and said any current tenant or family member who wishes to purchase a unit in the new development will be given 12 months’ worth of rent toward their down payment.

The staff report noted that current tenants at the rental property pay $700 to $1,475 per month while the rents in the new building are expected to be in the $800 to $1,500 range.

The document also stated the strata regs for the 816 units up for sale would permit owners to rent out their apartments.

Some councillors were skeptical that residents’ transition from the old properties to the new development would be as smooth as the company is promising.

with a kitchen.

The development would be built in three phases over six years. but the ambitious plan is not a slam-dunk to be approved. during a recent public consultation process, 30 out of 38 people spoke against the proposal, with many stating the development would change the look and feel of the community. Several respondents raised concerns about the traffic that would accompany the influx of new residents and the loss of light corridors that could result from the three highrises. four people spoke in support of the development, stating that it would give the area better visual appeal and make the neighbourhood livelier. as well, the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group supports the project and the developer’s efforts to relocate residents displaced by construction.

Currently, there are 112 rental units on the site and

The Tri-CiTy News

Major changes could be in store for the burquitlam skyline if Coquitlam city council approves a land use change that would pave the way for three new highrise towers. blue Sky Properties, a subsidiary of bosa, wants to build 873 condo units, including 57 units of rental housing, at North Road and foster avenue. The development, which would be located 600 m from the future burquitlam SkyTrain station, also includes a large amenity space and several commercial units facing North Road.

“This is a unique project,” said Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development. “This is a large project with a large number of units and there is also a rental housing components, which is unique.”

The 873 units would be in four buildings. a 28-storey tower would house 231 condos and three commercial units facing north Road; a second 29-storey tower would have 255 units; the largest tower would be 37-storeys with 330 units; and the rental housing would be located in a five-storey building toward the back of the property.

There would be 1,096 parking stalls to serve residents as well as a 67,759 sq. ft. common amenity space that would feature outdoor seating, courtyards, gardens, a gym, basketball courts and a social room

changeably at this point,” said Coun. bonita Zarrillo. “I’m not really buying into ‘rental’ means ‘affordable.’” other council members had concerns about the size of the development.

Coun. Chris Wilson noted that while he likes the fact the company proposes building rental housing, he had issues with the planned building heights.

“I had concerns about that and the heights of the units,” he said. “at the same time, I want to see more rental, so I am conflicted.”

Council voted unanimously in favour of granting third reading to the official community plan amendment and the proposal will now go to a public hearing on May 25 at city hall. for upcoming council agendas, go to www. coquitlam.ca.

COQUITLAM ENVIRONMENT

City on track for GhG goals District energy system is one of successful moves Gary Mckenna The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam is on track to achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions generated by municipal operations by 30% by the 2015 deadline.

Jozsef dioszeghy, the city’s general manager of engineering and public works, said last year’s introduction of the Thermenex energy system was the last step in obtaining the reduction. “by the end of 2014, we were at 23% reduction, with 415 tonnes remaining to achieve our goal by the end of 2015,” he said in an email to The Tri-City

News. “The Thermenex district energy system implemented in the civic building campus in late 2014 is expected to reduce our GHG emission by 500 tonnes.”

The Thermenex district energy system was introduced last year and will improve the efficiency of the heating and cooling systems at city hall, the RCMP detachment, City Centre aquatic Complex and the Evergreen Cultural Centre.

The municipality signed on to the Provincial action Charter in 2007, pledging to become carbon neutral and reduce corporate greenhouse gas emissions by 1,800 tonnes by the end of 2015.

There is still more work required to become carbon neutral, dioszeghy said in a staff report, but new emission reduction targets are expected to be set in the coming year.

In order to achieve the 30%

reduction, the municipality invested in energy efficient retrofits at its 12 buildings that consume the most energy.

That work was completed in 2013, with an energy savings of 400,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) a year, enough to operate the Glen Pine Pavilion and the Innovation Centre.

Workplace conservation was also highlighted with the city’s Carbon Cutters program, creating behavioural changes that resulted in a 500,000 kWh energy reduction, or approximately $50,000 in savings, according to the staff report.

The city staff report also noted that since signing on to the Climate action Charter in 2007, Coquitlam has grown by 17% and seen an increase in 24,000 sq. metres of civic facility floor space.

Chief Giesbrecht was unavailable for comment on Monday and Tuesday (he was at the aboriginal business Match 2015 conference) but stated in a press release: “We’ve been building a greatly improved relationship with the city and the neighbours of IR2 [one of the band’s parcels] since I was elected.

This dialogue has directly informed our planning process and I think the people of Port Coquitlam are going to like what they see.” according to the documents submitted to the city, the Kwikwetlem proposal calls for: • two housing enclaves: one with the capacity to accommo-

building for the first Nation Health authority (fNHa).

Public trails to connect to the existing Colony farm regional park pathways are also envisioned. access to the site would be from Pitt River Road, with a second road off Shaughnessy Street.

(With the Shaughnessy access proposed, PoCo Coun. darrell Penner said now is the time for the city and the provincial transportation ministry to start looking at a possible right acceleration lane nearby from Shaughnessy onto the Mary Hill bypass as that intersection is often tied-up with traffic.)

Project manager Paul LePage, principal of Lepage

associates, told The Tri-City News the Kwikwetlem council hasn’t yet determined how the band will pay for the project.

Much of the leasehold land has been filled in over the past four years, which has brought in substantial revenues for the band and has elevated the site above the floodplain.

Environmental, topographical and archaeological work is now underway, as is the federal process for leasing the reserve lands, environmental certifications and detailed engineering studies for roads and servicing. as for the health office centre, the Kwikwetlem said it plans to submit a bid this fall to the fNHa, a province-wide health authority created in 2013 that’s

designed to deliver a community-based health care system (fNHa did not comment by The Tri-City News’ print deadline but noted a request for proposals for its new health centre is underway).

PoCo Coun. Mike forrest said concerns will be raised in the community about the development and access points but, given the positive outcome from a meeting with Kwikwetlem consultants two months ago, he believes the outstanding issues will be resolved.

“Please, make the time to go and get to the open house,” forrest told the public at Monday’s council meeting.

Walmart takes Target’s space Gary Mckenna The Tri-CiTy News

a new Walmart could be opening in the Tri-Cities after the company purchased the lease from the former Target store at Coquitlam Centre.

The deal was part of a larger acquisition that saw Walmart purchase leases for 12 stores across Canada, as well as for a distribution centre in ontario.

The total cost of the investment was $165 million and the purchasing company said it intends to spend a further $185 million to renovate the properties.

“The 13 stores acquired are well situated and we are excited to bring Walmart’s successful Supercentre offer to customers in these markets,” Walmart Canada president and CEo dirk van den berghe said in a press release. “We have served millions of loyal customers and look forward to continuing to serve them through our stores and growing e-commerce business.”

Walmart’s press release stated work on all the new locations is expected to begin within the next few months, subject to approvals. because of the acquisition,

Walmart said it will be hiring 3,400 new employees in b.C., Manitoba, ontario and quebec.

The company also noted that the renovations will create 1,500 trade and construction jobs.

Earlier this year, Target Canada announced it would be closing 133 stores across the country — including the Coquitlam Centre location — with 17,600 employees losing their jobs. The announcement came after the company recorded at $6.5 billion in pre-tax losses in its fourth quarter last year, mostly related to its Canadian operations.

“We have not realized the significant improvement in Canadian consumer sentiment that we believe is necessary,” Target’s chief executive brian Cornell said at the time. “Put simply, we have not seen the step-change in performance we told you we needed to see.” before its launch, Target was viewed as a considerable threat to Canadian retailers of all sizes, partly because its reputation with consumers was unique.

Many Canadian shoppers would trek south of the border to wander the aisles of u.S. Target stores in search of deals and products they couldn’t find at home.

but when Target arrived in Canada, the story wasn’t the same and complaints flooded social media about empty shelves, high prices and a selection that fell short of expectations.

“Canadian consumers walked in expecting the american store experience and got this watered-down version,” said brynn Winegard, a marketing analyst at Winegard and Company.

Target was not the only tenant to vacate Coquitlam Centre this year. In March, future Shop announced the closure of its lone Tri-City location when best buy Canada announced it would be consolidating the chains.

In reviewing its bricksand-mortar footprint, best buy Canada found several of its future Shop and best buy stores were located adjacent to each other, often in the same parking lot, according to a release. (In Coquitlam, best buy is located across the street from Coquitlam Centre at Pinetree village.) across Canada, 66 future Shop stores were closed while another 65 others were changed to the best buy brand.

PORT COQUITLAM

Big grow op clears first Poco hurdle Janis Warren

“I have no problem supporting this...

I’m hoping and expecting this to be a flagship business in this community as far as how it can operate.”

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam city council has cleared the way for a public hearing this month on a proposed medical marijuana facility. on Monday, council unanimously gave two readings to a rezoning bylaw that, if approved, would see part of the industrial building at 1425 Kebet Way owned by Iotron converted into a pot production plant. according to a city report, the operation would yield

– port Coquitlam Coun. darrell penner 2,000 kg of marijuana a year, worth some $10 million annually.

Laura Lee Richard, PoCo’s director of development services, said the use would be site-specific to the Meridian Industrial Park building and a

restrictive covenant would be in place on the property.

“I have no problems supporting this,” Coun. darrell Penner said, noting he would rather see the federally permitted activity in an industrial zone than on farm land.

Coun. Mike forrest said there have also been concerns about security and how the marijuana is handled. Still, he believes the proponent, Remedi Pharmaceuticals, is on top of those issues.

Remedi has yet to obtain a

2 PM cops honoured The Tri-CiTy News

Two Port Moody Police officers were honoured last week for their part in reducing the alcohol-related death toll on b.C.’s roads by 52% under the alexa’s Team program.

PMPd constables Jennaby ohashi and brian Wong are among 1,617 alexa’s Team members throughout the province, several of whom gathered at the Justice Institute of bC on May 7 to celebrate the nearly 10,000 driving prohibitions that were issued in 2014.

Last year, police handed out 122 90-day administrative driving prohibitions, 1,720 24-hour suspensions and 4,661 immediate roadside prohibitions of three to 90 days. another 464 drivers were given 90-day prohibitions for refusing a breathalyzer and 3,022 were in the warn range.

In Port Moody, 57 impaired drivers were taken off the road last year. between 2008 and 2013, 386 drunk drivers were caught. alexa’s Team is named for alexa Middelaer, a fouryear-old Ladner girl who was

Fire forces family from home

Gary Mckenna It was not a happy Mother’s day for a Coquitlam family whose home was significantly damaged by fire.

The incident occurred at around 3:30 a.m. Sunday when a blaze broke out at a two-storey home on Harrier drive in the Eagle Ridge area, sending eight people to hospital with minor smoke inhalation.

Coquitlam fire and Rescue Chief Wade Pierlot said the flames originated in the basement but did not take long to spread.

“We are talking probably $50,000 in damage,” he said.

“It doesn’t take much to add up now. The ceiling area was burned right through the ceiling cladding.”

Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the fire, which appears to have originated in a kitchen, but Pierlot noted that a utility room

was also close to the source.

“I’m still waiting for fire investigators to give me a cause,” he said.

There was also some indication that the residents may have tried to contain the blaze themselves, something Pierlot strongly discourages. He said investigators were still trying to determine whether there was

any delay in phoning in the emergency. as of Tuesday morning, all eight people who had been admitted to hospital were released and investigators were still at the house. officials do not believe the blaze is suspicious.

OUR OPINION

YOU SAY

T

“One of the strongest things a person can do is to help others. Your life will also be changed because of what you are doing.

Great to see teenagers looking outside their own lives and help others in the community!”

The arts are worth studying and promoting in Tri-Cities he Tri-Cities have a vibrant arts, cultural and heritage community — a fact that is well known among local historians, artists, musicians and actors, and the moms, dads, patrons and groups that support them.

Each Wednesday in our arts & Entertainment section, The Tri-City News highlights the accomplishments of the dreamers, the poets and the thespians among us, and those who are working hard to promote our cultural well-being. Without these efforts, our community would be a barren suburb indeed. and now is the chance for the public to have a say in what our cultural life should look like.

In Coquitlam, the city is developing a new arts, culture and heritage strategic plan and is asking the public for comment on arts programs and ser-

vices, as well as public art and events (for more information, go to www.coquitlam.ca/achsp; to offer feedback, email achsp@ coquitlam.ca).

Next door in Port Coquitlam, residents are being asked to shape the city’s new cultural plan (weigh in at portco-

This is all good news as support for the arts, culture and heritage creates positive spinoffs well beyond the small

email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-472-3030 www.tricitynews.com/opinion

taxpayer subsidy that supports it. Not only are there economic spinoffs when people stay in their own community to experience arts and culture but there are social spinoffs as well.

When people work together on an art project, join in a festival, check out a historic display or watch a play or dance recital, they learn something about themselves and their neighbours.

Their perceptions change and they feel like they are part of something bigger, something that transcends day-to-day life.

Is the internet making it difficult for people to connect? at times. are we spending too much time on screens and smartphones? Certainly. but in the public squares, fairs and festivals, and in local galleries and arts centres, we are still interacting and that’s a goal worth supporting.

To Our s e s r u N l u f r e Wond Thank you all for your gifts of quiet strength, compassion, and caring.

You are a blessing to patients, and their families, and an inspiration to our team.

DOGS IN MUNDY PARK

Don’t punish good dog owners The Editor Re. “New dog regs for Mundy?”

(The Tri-City News, May 6).

I know there are few topics in Coquitlam that attract more public commentary than the issue of off-leash dogs in Mundy Park. but, having read the article about an investigation by our city councillors and possibly committing up to $100,000 of our hard-earned tax dollars, I can’t help but feel just like I did back in the classroom when one or two unruly students could cause the whole class to get a detention: unfair!

I am a regular and responsible dog walker in Mundy Park. You likely will find my dog and me somewhere on the trails almost every day between 8 and 10 a.m. — the posted offleash hours.

There is a core group of regulars and we know each other maybe not by name, but often by our dogs’ names. It is rare for negative altercations to occur in the off-leash hours and I believe for the most part, the joggers, cyclists and walkers get along perfectly well.

It is clearly posted that dogs are not to walk around the trail

tri-city newS file photo

most dog owners follow the rules in mundy park, say letter writers. to Mundy Lake, so I never have and rarely see others heading down those trails with a dog.

What I do encounter on my morning visits to the park is a group of people and dogs getting healthy exercise, exchanging greetings and enjoying our beautiful park. funny, I can’t remember ever seeing any of our city councillors in the park, so if they’re considering spending $100,000 to restrict the trails, I encourage them to visit before committing so

much money to a problem that, as far as I can see, doesn’t exist — at least not in the offleash hours.

I can’t speak for what happens after 10 a.m. as I follow the rules. The people I see carry dog poop bags and collect what needs to be collected, and if someone doesn’t happen to notice that their dog has relieved themselves, it’s very common for another person to bring it to their attention. a few more waste receptacles would

be greatly appreciated and would be a lot less costly than $100,000. I joke about making a deposit to the bank of Mundy and can personally attest that the majority of the waste in the park bins is either dog poop bags or coffee cups. as for patrols by bylaw officers, I would like to suggest more patrols at Como Lake and Lafarge Lake, both popular walking areas where I have witnessed, on more than one occasion, adult humans relieving themselves in the park and where fishers have failed to dispose of entrails — both also pretty disgusting. as a dog owner, I appreciate the freedom to exercise my dog off the leash in Mundy Park in a responsible manner and I know our visit to the park is a high point in my dog’s day. unfortunately, there are always a few less responsible people who can ruin a good thing for others.

In this case, though, I just can’t believe there is a serious reason to restrict the dawnto-10 a.m. off-leash rules in Mundy Park, and certainly no reason to invest a great deal of

taxpayer funds in this issue.

Sidney Chambers, Coquitlam

99% REsponsIblE

The Editor, The question of allowing dogs off leash in Mundy Park has reared its ugly head yet again. as a frequent user of Mundy Park over the last 14 years, I have seen this subject arise nearly every year and I wonder who is making these complaints?

The window of opportunity for us who take advantage is a narrow one: dawn to 10 a.m. Surely, those insensitive people who are offended by the sight of a dog frolicking off leash, could schedule their exclusive rights to the park in the hours from 10 a.m. to dusk, a vast majority of the day.

I am confident when I say that 99% of dog owners are responsible people and many of the morning dog walkers are retirees. The majority should not suffer the consequences of an irresponsible minority. as for those garbage bins filled with dog waste, eventually, the waste it is going to end up in a garbage bin somewhere.

Neil Swanson, Coquitlam

SCHOOLS

Teacher layoffs sadden reader The Editor, Re. “Teacher layoff list close to 500 for end of school year” (The Tri-City News, May 8).

I read the referenced article with sadness.

I do not understand why teachers, parents and students have to deal with layoff notices each year. The article states that most of these teachers will be teaching in September so why bother with this idiotic practice?

Just cut some pay off the school trustees or skim the cream off the higher paid people at the board offices.

Like all such organizations, there are too many cooks getting too much pay at the expense of the kids.

I urge parents to support your teachers and our kids.

They are the future and it’s not looking hopeful, is it?

Tips coming in on april 16 sex assault

Mounties seek a pair of men who assaulted woman sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP say they’ve received a number of tips about a disturbing sexual assault last month.

Late last month, the Mounties released a sketch of one of two suspects believed to be involved in the assault, which happened just after 2:30 a.m. on april 16. a young woman was walking home in the area of foster avenue and Linton Street when she was stopped by two men in a silver Suv, possibly a dodge durango, and asked for directions.

during the conversation, one of the men got out of the Suv and forced the woman into the vehicle, where she was sexually assaulted, according to police. She was dropped off a short time later near austin avenue and draycott Street.

“We got a number of tips but we cannot say how many,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We’re following up with all the tips we received and we are still

working on the file.”

Police released a composite sketch of the man investigators believe was the driver; he’s described as a dark-skinned man in his mid to late 20s with short dark hair and dark eyes. The passenger, who allegedly committed the assault, is described as dark-skinned, in his mid to late 20s, with short, dark hair and dark eyes and approximately 5’7” tall. Neither man

was said to have an accent.

Police are also looking for the silver Suv, possibly a firstgeneration dodge durango (1998 to 2003 model years). anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2015-11811 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

TRI-CITY VETERANS

French honour for PoMo veteran After battlefield injury, he spent years in body cast Gary Mckenna The Tri-CiTy News

on aug. 8, 1944, allied forces converged on the falaiseChambois region of france in an effort to push out the occupying German armies and eventually liberate Paris.

It is a day that Port Moody’s Howard davies, now 92, will never forget. davies was on the battlefield that day, which was cut short when a mortar round blew up near him and six of his fellow soldiers. When he awoke, his right leg was awkwardly crossed over the left one and he was bleeding profusely.

“I was in shock,” he said, “but I was awake. They took me to first aid and then further back to the hospital.” despite his injuries, he assured his comrades he would be back in the field to fight with them in a week or two.

He did not get out of bed until 1947 — three years later.

a FREnCH HonoUR

Last month, davies received a letter from the Canadian government stating that france intended to appoint him Knight of the french National order of the Legion of Honour in recognition of his service during the war.

He received the award on Sunday along with six other Canadians at a ceremony at the Mountain view Cemetery in vancouver.

It is not the first time france has shown its appreciation for davies’ service.

The Second World War veteran has visited the country four times since the war ended,

GAry McKennA/the tri-city newS

Howard davies, 92, of port moody was one of a number of WWII veterans to be named a Knight of the French national order of the legion of Honour at a ceremony on sunday in vancouver. receiving medals at commemoration events in Normandy on the 50th and 60th anniversaries of d-day.

Those were a long way from Sooke, where he lived when he enlisted in 1942.

He did his basic training in Camrose, alta., before heading overseas, first landing in Liverpool before settling in a community called aldershot with the Calgary Highlanders.

He even spent some time with commandos in Scotland before crossing the English Channel in July 1944, a few weeks after d-day.

“We went in by landing barge but the beach was clear,” he said of the day he arrived on Juno beach. “all we could hear was the large shells from the battle ships firing over our heads into france.”

The allies had been barraging Caen on aug. 7, before ground troops moved into the town the next day. davies was crossing a field when the mortar round struck and he was quickly taken away from the

front lines. “an English doctor said, ‘I think we’ll have to take the leg,’” he said. “Then, the Canadian doctor said, ‘No, we don’t. We will fly him back to England tomorrow morning.’” doctors managed to save the leg but today, davies walks with a limp and still has pieces of shrapnel in his shoulder as well as four pins in his leg. He received 109 stitches and was in a body cast for several years. davies crossed back over the atlantic on a hospital ship, landing in Halifax on Christmas day 1944, before making his way across Canada by rail. He arrived in vancouver and began a series of surgeries and what would turn into a close to four-year hospital stay that ended in June 1948.

1964, back when it was mostly cabins in the area, but added an addition a few years ago. one of davies’ sons, Howard Jr., lives next door.

Many of the friends davies made during his time in the army have died but when he spoke to The Tri-City News last friday, he said he was looking forward to seeing some of the other veterans at the recognition ceremony. but these days, davies prefers spending time by himself or with his family on the deck overlooking Port Moody Inlet.

“I like to keep things low key,” he said. “I don’t really like all the attention.”

Friends, family & stories in books A GOOD READ

DIANNE ALLAN

F

riends, family and books are the themes this week, with the latter providing insight on the former two.

The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells is a book that every daughter should read. It is the story of the complex relationships between generations of women, and it gets you thinking about the person your mom is and the history she had before you. It is about relationships with your parents and friends, love and forgiveness, and what it means to grow up, get old and dream. This is an incredibly moving, rollercoaster ride of a book. Choice quotation: “Some women pray for their daughters to marry good husbands. I pray that my girls will find girlfriends half as loyal and true as the ya ya’s.”

The Book Club by Mary Alice

Monroe explores the power of friendship. On the surface, it is a monthly book club, but for these five women, it is so much more. It is a support group and a place to let your guard down and dream of possibilities. It offers a sense of community and a haven of acceptance. One passage: “We’ve gone through meetings where many of us had a child locked to our breasts, meetings where someone nodded, half-awake, on the

sofa after a night up with a sick child, and meetings where, for no explicable reason, we drank too much wine and barely discussed the books at all. Today, most of our children are poised for leaving and once more we search for books to give this new phase of our lives meaning.”

Let’s Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship is a celebration of true friendship. It’s about the joy of communication with a soulmate and the devastation of unexpected loss. “It’s an old, old story: I had a friend and we shared everything, and then she died and so we shared that, too.”

So begins this wonderful memoir by Pulitzer Prize winner Gail Caldwell. It is the story of the incredible friendship between two women and a powerful bond that can get people through life’s most difficult moments, including the final and ultimate challenge. They met over dogs and became best friends. Both writers, Caldwell and Caroline Knapp (the author of Drinking:

Book by Wendy Welch is a story of people and books, and how together they create community. Wendy Welch and her husband had always dreamed of owning a book store so they leave their fast-paced, stressful jobs to buy one in an Appalachian coal town. Alas, there are problems: a declining U.S. economy, a small town with no industry and the advent of the eBook. On top of all that, they have no idea how to run a book store. In spite of all this, together with their love of books and the help of their mountain community, they manage to establish a thriving business and become an important part of the community.

Guide to Summer Activities tHe Joys oF CaMPing

Whether you opt for a tent, trailer or RV, nothing beats a camping trip for getting away from the daily routine and treating yourself to an unforgettable vacation.

outdoors are a winning combination. Campgrounds offer a wide range of activities that allow you to enjoy Mother Nature as well as the warm weather: swimming, tennis, shuffleboard, boat or bike rentals, mini golf, hiking, beach volleyball, soccer and the list goes on. Most

campgrounds also have playgrounds where the kids can have fun and forge new friendships.

You’ll even have things to do on rainy days, as arcade games, pool and bingo are often on the menu. Don’t forget your waterproof boots, so all the family can still go

hiking even if the weather’s grey and rainy. The kids will be thrilled! Picnics are also one of the small pleasures of camping; whether you cook over a fire or just enjoy some sandwiches sitting around the picnic table or on a blanket, food always tastes better in the fresh air.

TERRY FOX SECONDARY

Fox’s rock school hits 15 years Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Ken abbey of Stars of boulevard, a CfoX Seedswinning band that opened for deep Purple in vancouver and victoria.

Spencer Hargreaves and Noah Jordan of Redrick Sultan.

Matt Perrin, a Caparison Guitars-endorsed player with the metal bands Threat Signal and angel Maker.

Peak Performance Project contestants brayson Wong and Myles Philpott of Royal oak, whose latest work was engineered and mixed by Jaret Stodola. alanna Pearce, the drummer in the Greg drummond band, which drops a Cd next month. and the list goes on.

They are all Terry fox secondary alumni, products of the Rock School program built 15 years ago by contemporary music teacher Steve Sainas.

Then, he could see a need for such a credit course, a different tact from the traditional music class that only served a small demographic.

Sainas had worked with at-risk youth in northside Port Coquitlam, many of whom required an outlet at high school and a will to graduate.

With budget cuts looming — especially hurting special education — Sainas shopped around for ideas and saw what Gord Hembruff was doing at Port Moody secondary: Recording arts, soon a Rock School.

Perfect, Sainas thought.

He approached fox’s music department head, Wayne Sawyer, for the okay. administrators got on board, too.

In its first year, 25 students signed up for the after-school guitar program.

The next year, Rock School and recording arts drew 25 and 16 students, respectively.

The results were positive and motivated Sainas to do more, paying forward what his own Grade 8 music teacher, Charles Russ, had taught him. by the following year, the program doubled in size. and their semester-end live perfor-

steve sainas with his juno.

singers Evan Hanson and Hannah norlin will perform four songs at the 15th annual Rock the Fox show on Wednesday, may 20 with their band, nightmare. other musicians in the group are: jack Colbeck, Kyle King, jack thomas, Eijaz ladha, leo yamanaka-leclerc and Carson Reid. mances, called Rock the fox, had a buzz around them, with many people taking note of the quality.

The press picked up the story and questions were asked. Sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll at high school?

Sainas didn’t mind the heat.

He knew the kids loved it and the parents loved that their kids stayed in school and wanted to be there.

In its third year, Grade 9 students were allowed to enroll and Sainas found he had a leadership core by then to provide mentorship to the newbies.

Rock the fox sessions became more sophisticated and “the family” started to grow (Rock School has generated two marriages over the past 15 years).

Students from other catchments transferred to fox, just to get a piece of the energy and build their portfolios.

Today, 200 fox students — from at-risk to honour roll — take at least one contemporary music course with Sainas (he offers Rock School, recording arts, music composition, technical and guitar) and about 20% of them play or engineer or work in semi-professional

or full-time music fields after grad.

Just walk into Sainas’ facility, on the east side of the Riverwood Gate school, at any time for testimonies.

Grade 12 student Colton Kishi started the program five years ago at the recommendation of a family friend. He came in knowing the guitar and sax; he has since added drums, bass and backup vocals to his Cv. Liam bruce, Grade 11, who has also been under Sainas’ wing since Grade 9, said he’s learned about recording, mixing and mastering as well as el-

ements of the music business. best of all, “my academics have improved. I’m better at talking to people and working in groups. It has helped me remember things better.” for next week’s Rock the fox shows, he’ll perform in five bands.

Rock the fox is Sainas’ way of funding his music programs.

He reaps about $8,000 a year for gear — and another $200 annually from the provincial government.

It’s a pittance, he laments. a sorry state for music education for youth.

about the lack of arts funding in the b.C. public education system, much like his hero bob Ezrin, the producer of Pink floyd’s The Wall and a cofounder of the Nimbus School of Recording and Media in vancouver. and, since Sainas was named the country’s top music teacher of the year — a recognition from MusiCounts/ CaRaS that took him to Hamilton, ont., earlier this year to accept a Juno award — his voice has growth much stronger on the topic and on bill 11.

He has pleaded with School district 43 trustees to stand up to Christy Clark’s government, begging them to submit a needs budget in defiance.

The phone calls and emails in support come in daily, he said.

With his bigger platform, largely due to the recent national spotlight, Sainas hopes his call to action will shine a light on the need for school music programs across the country.

“It’s happening,” he said. “on a big scale.”

His reward, he said, is to see kids inspired and, maybe, make a living in music one day.

When they first come in, many don’t have a musical background; just a desire to learn. Sainas puts emphasis on teamwork and resourcefulness. It builds their confidence and life skills. “You have to give kids a chance to succeed,” he said. “That’s all I’m asking.”

The Tri-CiTy News

The Comic Strippers will return “home” to the Evergreen Cultural Centre this week, a venue they say has always been a good fit for their improv show.

“It goes so well in Coquitlam,” leader Roman danylo said, noting their half dozen performances over the past two years have sold out.

“It’s the closest thing we have to a home base.”

The boys — better known as danylo, Ken Lawson, Chris Casillan, Pearce visser, Michael Teigen and david Milchard — have revived their hilarious act for another season, touring Canada and the u.S. for about 30 gigs this spring and another 30 in the fall.

Coquitlam is a stop for both tours — and it will be the only summer gig for the Strippers,

on July 18. for Saturday’s rendition, danylo promises an “epic” production that will include a new Chip: up-and-comer andrew barber, who recently appeared on CbC-Tv’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes. other than the additional cast member, danylo said the show will follow the same format as in the past though, because it’s improv, with different content.

“We’ll be consistently dancing like idiots and we’re still shirtless and all named Chip.

The standards are the same.”

Recently, the Strippers have been experimenting with new themes to jazz up their routine, he said: shower and weird lap dance scenes or using a Chip as a stripper pole, for example.

Whatever the concept, the props must be easy to carry for touring. “It all has to fit into one duffel bag. If it doesn’t

then it doesn’t go in the show,” he said.

The Coquitlam audience, he vows, “will have a super, good time. It’s the last party of the century. No shirts, no script, no problem. That’s my sound bite.” as for the Roman Improv Games that danylo filmed at the Evergreen Cultural Centre earlier this year with Milchard (Convos With My 2 Year Old), it’s still in the editing stage; however, he expects to have it on a YouTube channel in the next few weeks. danylo also hopes the pilot program will gain traction at the banff World Media festival next month in alberta, with the help of Milchard’s online connections.

• Tickets for the Comic Strippers on Saturday, May 16 are $35/$30/$15. Call the box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Granville Island artist alice Parmalee Rich doesn’t know the painter she’s been paired with for the Port Coquitlam exhibit that opens Saturday.

They both have technically different approaches in their skill but they also share common themes in their craft: They work in abstraction and have a sense of concern in mind when creating manversus-nature images.

Rich and Karen Holland were put together for the new display by curator Parm Johal.

Holland will show a dozen acrylic pieces, eight mixed media and four metal and steel compositions for her Striation series while Rich will highlight 15 acrylics, four oils and a mixed media from her Segmented visions collection. a continuation of her Passages, Elements and New Energy, which she exhibited in 2011 in North vancouver, Segmented visions grew out of Rich’s worry for the modern landscape and how vancouver is reshaping.

She has captured her scenes with strong geometrical shapes — vertical blocks that jut out of nowhere and break the natural beauty.

“It’s a soft view of something being overwhelmed by development,” she said. “There’s a hard edge to it but it’s done in a painterly way.” architecture is nothing new to Rich: She studied it and design at the university of

alice parmalee Rich Copenhagen. after completing her bfa in art history at ubC, Rich joined the vancouver art Gallery as an extension and education officer, a job that allowed her to travel b.C. to install art exhibitions and lecture.

Rich later earned a curating diploma from Emily Carr university of art + design before founding a photographic greeting card company, Parmalee Publications, while acting as the assistant director/ curator at the Contemporary art Gallery. a member of the federation of Canadian artists, Rich is now at Studio 13 fine art Gallery on Granville Island, where the motto is “contemporary west coast.”

Segmented visions is Rich’s 14th exhibit; it will also show this year at the deer Lake Gallery in burnaby.

• The opening reception for Striation and Segmentation is May 16 at 2 p.m. in the Michael Wright art Gallery at the Gathering Place in Leigh Square (behind PoCo city hall). jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

B.C. HOCKEY LEAGUE

More awards for Mackin Gary Mckenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Express forward Corey Mackin’s trophy case will get a little more cluttered next week.

The 20-year-old b.C. Hockey League scoring leader (50 goals and 54 assists in 58 games) was named Canadian Junior Hockey League MvP and top forward for the 2014-15 hockey season.

“Pretty special,” said Coquitlam Express coach barry Wolff in describing Mackin’s accomplishments.

This is not the first time the Philadelphia, Penn., native has won an award this season.

Mackin took the bCHL’s brett Hull award as the top scorer and was voted league MvP by the junior ‘a’ league’s coaches.

He is also the first bCHL player in five years to reach the 50-goal mark and led the league in

shorthanded tallies with nine.

Mackin was assessed just four minor penalties on the season and was a finalist for the bCHL’s most sportsmanlike player. He is currently committed to ferris State, an NCaa division one school, and has one more year of eligibility in the junior ‘a’ ranks.

The CJHL, which is the umbrella organization of the bCHL, hands out awards at the end of each hockey season to

recognize individual success among the 10 junior ‘a’ leagues in the country. for the 2014-15 season, the top defenceman award was given to Eric Williams of the ontario Junior Hockey League’s aurora Tigers, while his teammate Cameron Morrison won rookie of the year. Nic Renyard of the alberta Junior Hockey League won top goaltender.

the fourth inning being a particularly problematic for Coquitlam, where the team allowed five runs.

Clay The Reds’ also struggled on Saturday when the visiting Nanaimo Pirates posted back-to-back wins in a doubleheader.

Weir takes skills to UFV

The university of the fraser valley men’s soccer program has reached into the bC Soccer Premier League to fortify its roster, signing seven players from the province’s top youth soccer circuit, including a Coquitlam Metro ford player.

Midfielder brady Weir will be a new recruit with the abbotsford-based team when the season kicks off next year. “brady is a versatile midfielder who can play in a variety of different positions,” interim head coach Tom Lowndes said.

“He is a natural with both his left and right foot and is constantly causing defenders problems with his pace and skill. He is a quality finisher who can score goals for fun.

I am excited to have him join our squad for next season.”

Weir, who lives in Pitt Meadows, has played for Coquitlam Metro ford for the past five seasons, and helped his team to consistently high league finishes.

“I chose ufv because it is a good school with a strong,

competitive soccer team,” said Weir, who attends Pitt Meadows Secondary.

“I am looking forward to helping the team to make playoffs and beyond, and for myself to make a noticeable goal-scoring contribution this season.”

He is part of a recruiting class that will join the Cascades for the 2015 fall season as they aim to qualify for the Canada West playoffs for the third consecutive year. Lowndes, who took the reins of the Cascades last month following the retirement of longtime bench boss alan Errington, is thrilled at the quality and depth of his first recruits.

“It’s a really strong class,” Lowndes enthused.

“Technically, they’re very strong, and they’ve all got the ability to come in and make an impact right away.

“I’m excited to see how they adjust to university soccer. and they’re not just good players, they’ve got good character, which is something I look for.”
