2 wheels the way to go for Dowdell GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

If there is one person in the Tri-Cities not looking forward to the opening of the Evergreen Line, it is David Dowdell.

While the Coquitlam resident is a strong advocate for public transit and happy to see the municipality finally connect to the region’s rapid transit system, he worries the convenience of SkyTrain could put an end to his days cycling to work.

“It is going to kill me,” he jokes. “It will be way too easy.

I think I will probably end up being a weekend rider after that and I’ll probably gain 50 lb.”

after allegedly trafficking in illegal narcotics, including cocaine and MDMA. Items seized by police include $12,000 in Canadian currency, 1.5 kg of MDMA and two vehicles.

“These long-term investigations can be difficult and challenging for the members involved”, said Const.

Postolovic of the Coquitlam RCMP Drugs and Organized Crime Section.

“It’s a significant achievement for our investigators when there’s a successful result following such a lengthy investigation.”

The following people have been charged:

COQUITLAM 125 CELEBRATIONS

Salmon a blank canvas on which artists will paint a community ‘A dream come true’ for at least one Coq. artist

SPONSOR ONE OF THE SALMON

Four organizations are now on board to sponsor a salmon 125 sculpture: Onni Group, Marcon Group of Companies, Square Nine Developments Inc and the Austin Heights BIA. To sponsor a public art work, visit coquitlam125.ca/salmon.

JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

M

aria Centola is on Cloud 9.

A few weeks ago, the 23-year-old Coquitlam woman got a phone call from Lynda Baker, the city’s cultural and community events coordinator, to congratulate her as one of a dozen artists selected to paint a salmon sculpture for the city’s 125th year.

Last week, a truck delivered the smiling six-foot-tall fish to her Westwood Plateau home and now, the giant fibreglass canvas is in her garage, covered in drawings of Town Centre Park before the first acrylics go on this weekend.

“It’s a dream come true,” Centola said. “I’m really excited to see how everyone interprets it.”

Centola’s salmon, which will be unveiled at the Kaleidoscope arts festival — the Coquitlam 125 signature event — at Town Centre Park on July 23 and 24, will be a blend of blues and greens with images of the bustling City Centre. She has the Evergreen Line zooming through highrises and ending near Lafarge Lake; there’s a runner on the Percy Perry Stadium track, a girl on a bike and the (currently under-construction) amphitheatre with the mountains in the distance.

Having a piece of art in such a public spot “is an amazing opportunity. It makes it very special. This is in my hometown, the place where I grew up,” said Centola, who graduated from the IDEA School of Design program at Capilano University last month.

Joan McCauley, who is heading Coquitlam 125 celebrations, said 41 artists applied to paint a salmon sculpture and a committee juried each submission based on the story/concept, artistic merit and the artist’s past work.

“We chose to lead a blind adjudication process to eliminate any potential conflict of interest or favouritism in the event that one of the applicants was known to the selection

IN THE ARTISTS’ WORDS • Jolayne Devente: “My vision for the sculpture involves the importance of Fraser Mills. I will be using a highly stylized, slightly First Nations design to make the salmon look like it has abstracted cedar bark for scales.”

• Elham Sarvi: “Living in Coquitlam over 10 years as an artist and art instructor, I always look for some opportunity to inspire people through my art. It is an honour to be part of the Coquitlam 125 anniversary celebration and a perfect way to share part of my spirit with the community that I live in.”

• Shohre Shirazi: “I am so excited to be part of this big and memorable event. I have lived in Coquitlam for 17 years and I have witnessed this community’s achievements and struggles. I have seen new neighbourhoods rising from different parts of this town. I have seen people with different skin colours and ethnic backgrounds, have chosen Coquitlam as their home and the place to raise the next generation of Canadians.”

• Dennis Creighton: “My design signifies how nature is the foundation on which communities like Coquitlam are built. Images of trees, herons and salmon are interlaced throughout the sculpture acknowledging the relationship the natural and manufactured environments have had on the past 125 years.”

• Flavia Chan: “I applied to the salmon project because I have never worked with such a large sculpture and saw this platform as a fun challenge. I work with vinyl toys in my own art practice so I view the salmon sculpture as a gigantic toy, ready to be customized.”

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam’s Maria Centola will see her completed salmon sculpture on display in Town Centre Park this summer. The 23-year-old Capilano University graduate was one of 12 artists picked to paint the iconic symbol as part of the city’s 125th anniversary celebrations. Above right: Detail on the tail. committee,” McCauley said.

Five winners are from the Tri-Cities while seven live elsewhere in Metro Vancouver.

And each of their designs varies in style from traditional to contemporary — conveying a narrative and reflecting on the city’s diversity, history and beauty, said McCauley, who is also the executive director of Place des Arts.

Besides Centola’s sculpture at Town Centre Park, which has already been sponsored by Square Nine Developments, the

other salmon will be located at high-pedestrian sites around the city: • Mackin Park: Wilfrido Limvalencia and Jolayne Devente; • Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex: Elvira D.S.; • Coquitlam Crunch: Jenna Mortemore; • Blue Mountain Park: Dennis Creighton; • Coquitlam Public Library, Poirier branch: Iman Baradaran Hashemi; • City hall: Shohre Shirazi;

Your Heating & Cooling Specialist

• Victoria Park: Cory Douglas; • Cottonwood Park: Elham Sarvi; • Como Lake Park: Flavia Chan; • and Mundy Park: April Lacheur.

Common themes include the city’s natural environment, cultural diversity and its beginnings at Fraser Mills.

Kwikwetlem First Nation also plays a prominent role.

“I feel my proposed design fits well with the vision for the

125th anniversary of Coquitlam because it includes both stories told and the positive energy and light for stories to be created,” Lacheur said. “The design is bright, colourful, happy and hopeful, much like the future of Coquitlam.”

Limvalencia, a Richmond resident whose past public art works have included the Spirit Bears in the City and the Terracotta Warriors — both fundraising projects for the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities — said his “Landmarks” salmon “is a great opportunity for me to create and showcase a unique piece of artwork that honours the commu-

nity’s rich history and heritage.”

Mortemore gave kudos to Squamish First Nation artist Jody Broomfield for creating the salmon canvas. She recalled seeing the Adams River salmon run while moving from Edmonton to the coast two years ago — the first time she had viewed a salmon run.

“Standing 1,000 km from the ocean, watching the water flow in opposition to their travel, the sheer resiliency and determination of the salmon hit home with me,” she said, “and I think that Jody really managed to capture this feeling.” jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

SCAMS IN THE TRI-CITIES

‘Officer A free leather jacket Smith’ too good to be true behind CRA scam SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Be wary of callers who purport to be with Can. Revenue SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Tax time may be done but scam artists are still hoping to nab unsuspecting folks who may not know about a widespread Canada Revenue Agency hoax.

A Coquitlam woman came home on May 11 to find a message on her voicemail from “Officer Ryan Smith,” notifying her of a “tax fraud suspected in your tax paper.”

The caller had an aggressive tone to his voice and demanded either she or her lawyer call him back.

But there were some clues the prompted the woman to suspect it was a scam. He ended the call by identifying himself as “Officer Ryan Smith of Revenue of Canada” and a Google search of his “direct line” 1-844-553-1073 shows many others have received similar calls.

The woman, a fitness instructor who often teaches seniors, is hoping others are alerted to the scam so they don’t fall prey.

“Seniors will just answer the phone, they don’t have call display,” she said. “It only takes one person to fall into their hands.”

Coquitlam RCMP Const.

Jamie Phillipson said the calls continue to circulate in the community but more people are aware that it’s a scam.

Canada Revenue Agency offers several tips on its website on how to recognize this and similar scams, including: • If you receive a call saying you owe money to the CRA, hang up and contact CRA directly to confirm.

• Be aware the CRA does not ask for personal information via email or text, request payments by credit card or leave personal information on a voicemail.

• If in doubt, check whether you’ve signed up to receive emails from the CRA either on its website or on your tax form, and ask yourself whether the caller is asking for information you wouldn’t provide on your tax return or for info you know they already have.

• Report suspicious calls and/or emails to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude. ca or 1-888-495-8501.

A fraud involving Italian leather jackets that has been common in the U.S. has landed in Coquitlam.

Last month, Farrell Hannah arrived at his HSBC branch on North Road in Coquitlam when a late-model SUV pulled in beside him and the driver, described as “dark haired, swarthy-complexioned and cleanly dressed,” asked for directions to the airport — even though he already seemed to know the way and could not explain why he was in Coquitlam after his “design show in Vancouver.”

The man chatted with Hannah, seizing upon tenuous connections with family or friends in Europe, and offered to welcome him to Italy should he ever visit.

Emphasizing again his work

as a designer, the man then began to show Hannah the leather jackets he carried in his vehicle, all wrapped individually in plastic and stored in a shopping bag. As he pulled a selection out, he estimated them to be worth $1,100 to $1,400, and proceeded to offer up free jackets for Hannah’s wife and son.

“When I asked him why he was trying to do this, he said it was that they don’t fit him and he likes the Irish,” Hannah stated in an email to The TriCity News.

As he opened Hannah’s back door and put the jackets inside, the man then mumbled that he needed a favour — $600 for an iPad for his daughter.

After Hannah resisted, the man showed him his suitcase and flashed a passport as proof of his Italian citizenship and plans to return home

imminently (other reports of this scam have the “designer” claiming he does not want to pay the duties to bring the jackets back to Italy), and grew despondent after Hannah refused to take the jackets.

“He pressured me again to take the jackets as a gift and to do a favour for him,” Hannah said. “I told him that not only was the gift of jackets far too expensive for me to accept, I would never wear such jackets, noting the level of my current attire as a retiree.”

It was only after Hannah turned away to go in to the bank that the man gave up and left quickly.

Coquitlam RCMP said they received a report of the leather jacket scam and it’s the first incident they’ve heard of in Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam.

BIKE TO WORK WEEK

FORT MAC FIRE

Commuting on a bike cheaper & healthier for Coquitlam man continued from front page

Until then, however, Dowdell will continue his 52-km roundtrip cycling commute, which starts at his home near Pipeline Road and Robson Drive and ends at Vancouver’s Broadway Tech Centre near Renfrew Street and East Broadway. The 54-year-old has been doing the ride at least twice a week since he moved to Coquitlam 20 years ago, starting in midFebruary and going through the summer until the weather starts to get rainy again.

There are numerous reasons he enjoys the daily ride.

He owns a car but said cycling to work is cheaper than driving and he feels good knowing that he is not burning fossil fuels during his commute. And it is also a way to work exercise into his daily routine.

“There are a lot of health benefits,” he told The Tri-City News. “Because of the distance I ride, there is a sense of accomplishment. It is similar to what people get at the gym.”

Dowdell is heavily involved in the cycling world and is a

member of the Tri-Cities and B.C. Cycling Coalitions. He said he supports Bike To Work Week and believes it gets more people who may be thinking about commuting on a bike to give it a try.

Safety is a reason Dowdell often hears as to why more people don’t cycle to work but he added that a lack of shower facilities in the workplace is also a barrier.

“That makes a big difference,” he said. “You need to be able to get into work and have a shower and change into proper clothes.”

Dowdell is fortunate. He said many people in his office ride to work and there are places to store bikes and clean up before the riders start their day.

He added that he hopes that with more people getting on the road and participating in events like Bike To Work Week, more employers will offer shower facilities. Dowdell also said more dedicated bike lanes will improve safety and pave the way for more cyclists to ride to work.

Across BC we are seeing schools closed and services cut. The refusal of this BC government to build urgently needed schools and fund our classrooms appropriately has caused incredible stresses in our classrooms. We desperately need a government that will understand that investing in education is an investment in a strong future.

SD43 remains one of the lowest funded school districts per capita in all of BC. Families are still waiting for schools on Burke Mountain and bus service for our children has been cut. As a parent of two children in SD43 I find this incredibly troubling. Our kids should be able to attend well-resourced schools in their neighbourhood.

On June 2nd I want to bring parents, elected officials, teachers, students, and stakeholders together to discuss what needs to be done to correct the shortcomings in our school system. We need to send a strong message that the current state of public education needs to change.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Parents want more SD43 dyslexia support DIANE STRANDBERG Two Tri-City parents say they are frustrated with what they consider to be a lack of attention paid to concerns about dyslexia in School District 43.

At Tuesday’s board of education meeting, Cathy McMillan of Decoding Dyslexia BC and Kim Fisher called on the district to fund early intervention programs for young children and professional development for teachers to improve the odds of graduation for learning disabled students.

The parents say a 2012 Supreme Court of Canada case backs their demand for more supports for children who struggle with reading.

“This is a human rights issue,” said Fisher, whose son is in Grade 2 in a Coquitlam school and gets extra support for 20 minutes three times a week — when an assessment she paid $2,600 privately for recommended five times that amount.

“When 20% of a school district struggles to learn because of dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia, and the district refuses to respond with appropriate intervention, they fail not only to provide free and appropriate education on a regular basis, but they violate the basic human right to an appropriate education.”

COURT RULING

Fisher is studying the OrtonGillingham method, one of a few instructional programs recommended by the International Dyslexia Association, to be able to help her son. McMillan pulled her daughter out of school in SD43 and the Grade 9 student is now getting good marks at Collingwood School in Vancouver, where she benefits from a 5-to-1 student/teacher ratio.

Both parents say SD43 needs to do more to help students with dyslexia.

Their plea comes four years after the BC Supreme Court of Canada ruled a North Vancouver school discriminated against a severely dyslexic boy when it closed a diagnostic centre that helps special needs students.

Following the presentation, board chair and Port Coquitlam Trustee Judy Shirra expressed sympathy for the parents and said she hopes new provincial curriculum being introduced for kindergarten to Grade 9 students would target students with learning challenges. The board will respond more fully at a following meeting, Shirra said.

WAIT TOO LONG

Fisher and McMillan say the district waits until Grade 4 before giving students a special

assessment test to diagnose their learning challenges and doesn’t provide enough early intervention. They also want teachers to be trained in working with students with dyslexia.

But the district’s director of instruction, Paul McNaughton, says at-risk students may be diagnosed before Grade 4 while cautioning that early diagnostic assessments for children Grade 2 and younger can create false positives and are often unnecessary.

He also said supports — in the form of help with decoding and sound-to-letter mapping — is given to children who need extra help with reading.

Cathy McMillan of Decoding Dyslexia BC and Kim Fisher, a Tri-City parent, are asking for early screening for children to identify reading problems and mandatory professional development for teachers on ways to teach children who have dyslexia. The parents presented their concerns at the board of education meeting Tuesday.

• Up to 20% of students may have problems with reading because of difficulty processing language, a condition called dyslexia, the group Decoding Dyslexia BC says.

• The group is calling for pro-D days for teachers to train them in a variety of instructional methods such as OrtonGillingham, Wilson, Lindamood-Bell and RAVE-O, and early screening for elementary school students.

trying to navigate the school system, unable to get the help they need for their children.

“I’m hoping to get them to recognize learning disabilities a little bit more readily in the province. Autism certainly has a huge awareness associated with. It’s a struggle for our guys just about every term because it’s invisible.”

• The group has a Facebook page Decoding Dyslexia BC to connect parents whose children struggle with reading and writing.

on the district’s part to make changes since she presented to the board last year. And some students aren’t getting the help they need, she said, citing an instance when she was asked to advocate for a child who didn’t get an individual education plan reviewed until four months after the school year started.

Dyslexia tends to run in families and McMillan, who struggles with it herself but graduated from university even though she wasn’t diagnosed until she was older, said it’s heartbreaking to see families

but we have been working with Decoding Dyslexia to explore the use of universal early screening strategies and to incorporate professional development supports into our overall district plan,” McNaughton said in an email.

Cost and time are always a challenge, he said, as are other professional development demands, but the district is hoping to initiate something next year.

But McMillan disagrees that the district is doing enough.

She told The Tri-City News there has been little movement

A chess course that has been credited with helping a Terry Fox student heal from a traumatic heart incident and a hands-on course to help teens learn about bicycle maintenance and repair have been approved by the School District 43 board of education.

Starting in September, Terry Fox secondary school will offer Chess 11 in addition to Chess 12, which is already available, while Riverside secondary will offer Bicycle Maintenance and Repair 11.

The two courses conform to Ministry of Education requirements for school board-authorized courses.

In Chess 11, students will learn the history and origins of chess, algebraic notation for recording chess games, learn chess pieces and basic moves as well as the principles of chess. Students will also participate in chess games and tournaments to demonstrate their knowledge.

The course approval follows a story in The Tri-City News earlier this year when Fox student Aaron Gi described how the chess courses taught

by Dejan Radic helped him recover from an incident in which his heart stopped during PE class.

A long wait for rec space on Burke Complex could take until 2029 to be completed GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

A major recreation facility that is expected to include a pool, ice rinks and gym space is coming to northeast Coquitlam.

But when is the big question.

According to the city’s draft implementation strategy for the parks, recreation and culture master plan, planning for the new rec complex would begin after 2020, with

construction expected to take place between 2025 and 2029.

But several councillors said they would like to see that timeline sped up, noting there is already demand from residents of the rapidly growing neighbourhoods of Burke Mountain for a new facility.

Coun. Craig Hodge told council-in-committee Monday afternoon that he would like to see the project built in phases, perhaps starting with an ice rink before adding a pool and other amenities as they are needed.

“We are building a city of 30,000 people up there,” said Hodge, a Burke resident.

“That is a city the size of Pitt

Meadows [that won’t have a recreation facility].”

Coun. Brent Asmundson, also a Burke resident, said he would like to see a new recreation complex in the area sooner but cautioned that the city needs a better understanding of recreation demands before altering the project’s timeline. He also noted that building the facility in stages may end up costing more money.

Still, he noted that he was open to changes in the draft document and said it is important that people taking part in the public feedback process understand a certain amount of flexibility is required with

in the city’s recreation system, Allueva noted.

“A key part of optimizing the city’s investments is building something at the right time,” he said. “That means not too early and not too late.”

FEEDBACK City staff are seeking feedback on the draft implementation strategy and are expected to meet with stakeholders and community groups for input.

Residents can weigh-in on the plan by going to www. coquitlam.ca/prcmasterplan and filling out a survey, which will be available after May 24. long-term planning.

“This is a framework,” he said. “It is not set in stone…

There are moving parts within this and we will adjust things.”

Raul Allueva, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said staff weighed a number of factors when outlining the timeline

THE PLAN

The draft implementation strategy presented to council during Monday’s meeting shows how staff plan to execute the city’s parks master plan, providing a detailed list of specific activities over the next five years along with an overview of major projects expected between 2021 and 2029.

for the parks implementation strategy. More immediate work on other projects, including the YMCA community centre in Burquitlam and a new Place Maillardville was a factor, he added, noting that the timing of Port Coquitlam’s new recreation facility was also considered. There is also still capacity

$460M over next 30 years

$2.8M FOR NEC PARK

A new sports field and park amenity is coming to Burke Mountain’s Smiling Creek Park — but it won’t come cheap.

The project, which will include a full-size sports field, trail network and retaining wall, was projected to cost $1.4 million when council was presented with preliminary estimates back in January.

But the final price tag has since doubled to $2.8 million “based on more detailed cost projections, which reflect a substantial increase in site preparation and overall project costs,” according to a city staff report.

Council voted unanimously Monday on the final detailed design and budget for the park, which will be built next to Smiling Creek school and operated jointly by the city and School District 43.

When the park is completed, it will add a full-sized, irrigated, sand-based natural grass field to accommodate soccer and other uses. A city staff report said that a ball diamond backstop would also be included, although there are no plans for base paths at this time and a dugout is not expected to be built. The park will include decorative sidewalks, a mini plaza and a trail system.

This is the second cost overrun announced this week but different from the close to $1 million hike for the Town Centre Park amphitheatre and Rochester Park because the initial Smiling Creek price was a projection, not a fully designed and budgeted project.

continued from page 10

The draft plan outlines close to $460 million in spending over the next 30 years, including $227.9 million on recreation, $181.6 million on parks and $48.3 million on arts and culture.

There are several more immediate projects in the pipeline included in the draft document.

In the next five years, eight sports fields are planned to be added or redeveloped while off-road cycling assets at Leigh Park and in the Riverview forest are expected to be enhanced in the next year.

Upgrades to the Coquitlam Crunch are expected in 2018 while completion of a new Place Maillardville and the expansion of the city archives is scheduled to be completed in 2019.

Also in the next five years, staff hope to develop and implement a new cemetery plan, an arena strategy and add gym space.

PRINCETON PARK

The property at Princeton Avenue and Trafalgar Street is currently a film set for the popular television series Wayward Pines but by the end of the year, it will be home to Coquitlam’s newest park.

Princeton Park’s final detailed budget and design was passed unanimously by city council Monday, allocating $906,500 to upgrade the 0.7-acre site.

The plans include a park entry feature, a play area for children of all ages, built-in seating around the playground and a pathway system within the park. There will also be an informal grass picnic area.

Construction is expected to begin this summer and finish by the end of the year. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

OUR OPINION

Pass power K

ids gaining weight, staring at phone, TV and computer screens, and losing touch with friends? Give them a break by expanding the wildly-successful summer recreation pass programs.

Currently, $20 summer passes are available in Port Moody and Coquitlam, with the latter also considering expanding the program to include winter and spring breaks and all pro D days for $40.

We say bring it on.

It’s not enough to nag kids about being active, you need to provide them with low-cost opportunities to join in the fun. Coquitlam may be a wealthy city but there are pockets of poverty throughout, so many kids would benefit.

It may be some time before we know of the success of these programs in promoting good health but they will definitely help parents who are already trying to get their children to be more active.

Let’s see these low-cost rec passes for kids expanded throughout the Tri-Cities.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? VOTE AT tricitynews.com/opinion/poll

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Do you think it’s a good use of tax money to subsidize rec programs to keep Tri-City young people active?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:

Do you think larger fines will discourage drivers in B.C. from calling or texting while driving?

Cities could learn from small biz on credit card fees AS I SEE IT

n 2015, 10 municipalities in British Columbia paid almost $5 million to accept credit cards, ranging from a low of $87,577 in the city of North Vancouver to a high of $2,042,000 in Vancouver.

Is there a way to reduce these costs? City governments could borrow some innovative ideas from small businesses.

Municipalities, like businesses, accept credit cards to provide payment choice — an important part of good customer service that should be preserved where possible. But examining the costs associated with accepting credit cards makes sense, particularly when they are rising quickly.

The cost of accepting cards in the 10 municipalities examined increased 54% over the last five years — this is likely due to more transactions as well as higher fees.

When credit card companies started introducing premium cards like Visa Infinite a number of years ago, business owners were faced with large, unexpected increases in credit card processing fees. They fought back in a number of creative ways. A restaurant owner shared his successful strategy to educate customers: He simply

TC

put a sign on each table asking customers if they would consider paying with cash or debit. He shifted about 40% of his credit card business into these lower-cost options.

Based on his success, CFIB created some simple signs that can be put next to a cash register or on a restaurant table. The signs are popular among business owners who are aware of them. I happened to see one at a business on Main Street recently and asked the woman who was serving me whether it changed customer behaviour. She happily told me that lots of customers had switched to debit or cash as a result.

Most customers don’t realize that not only are they themselves charged annual fees for carrying a credit card (as well as interest payments on any balances) but businesses also pay fees to credit card companies and banks when accepting the card as a payment. It is reasonable to charge for providing the convenience of the card but many of the practices in the credit card industry — including big jumps in fees with no notice and no ability to exit contracts — have been anything but reasonable over the past number of years.

A second approach municipalities should consider is

focusing on better negotiation. Business associations use the strength of their numbers to negotiate better processing rates with individual providers and to ensure that other aspects of the contracts work well. To take one example of what might be possible, the city of Victoria renegotiated for better processing fees on city parking in 2012 and its fees dropped from $243,256 in 2011 to $180,592 in 2012 — a savings of more than 25%. Imagine the savings if municipalities negotiated together.

CFIB worked to secure an across-the-board reduction in industry fees for small business in 2014. The fee reductions, which came into effect about a year ago, range between 6% and 22%, depending on the card used. The lower fees will be maintained for four more years.

Municipal governments across B.C. need to find ways to control spending and reduce property taxes. In a recent column, I suggested replacing the banking of sick days, which is costly as it creates the incentive to confuse sick time for vacation entitlement, with a short-term disability plans. Today’s column provides more common sense courtesy of small business. The only thanks they ask? More affordable property taxes, please.

Here in bear country, Cut the grass at Birchwood please act accordingly The Editor, Re. “Bear ate garbage, swatted at man... and was killed” (The Tri-City News, May 11).

I was reading the disturbing article and I find it appalling that the bear had to be shot when this person left garbage out knowing full well that bears are out there looking for food, and for heaven’s sake, he lives in bear country.

Then he tried to scare the bear off with a broom and got swatted at. Well, as far as I can

see, he deserved getting swatted but the bear didn’t deserve to get shot.

According to The Tri-City News article, the bear acted very aggressively after getting swatted at with a broom. What did this person think was going to happen? I saw him on TV and he seemed proud of the gash that he got from the bear. Guess he’s enjoying all the publicity.

First, don’t leave garbage out — and I hope he gets a hefty fine for doing so. Second,

if a bear comes into your yard after you invited it by leaving your garbage out, don’t try and scare it off, just stay in doors and it will leave. And don’t call the BC Conservation Officer Service. The conservation officers are only doing their job, I get that, but come on people, think a little and we all will be able to co-exist with the creatures of this beautiful forest that we live in. After all, the creatures were here before us.

MURRAY FOR MUNCHIES? YES, PLEASE The Editor, Re. “‘No’ to restaurants, for now” (The Tri-City News, May 13).

What a surprise that council didn’t vote unanimously to open up Murray Street to small restaurants. When a good idea presents itself, vote Yes! It would be such a benefit to the community to have

some charming and unique cafes and restaurants along the Murray Street corridor.

Yes, we have The Boathouse, and yes, we have Pajo’s, but their offerings are quite represented throughout the Lower Mainland.

I know many people who would like to see a little more variety being offered: A place

to get a morning crepe or croissant and coffee before a walk; a place to sit and have a healthy and affordable soup and sandwich for lunch; a fresh-made burger place; a vegetarian restaurant — so much potential.

The sooner places like these open up on Murray, the better.

The Editor, Birchwood Park is known to those in the Birchland neighbourhood as Spider Park. Two years ago, the city decided not to mow the grass at the end of the forested trail to save money. Birchwood is not the only small park where the “park naturalization” program is in effect. Some neighbours thought this program would be rotational but this appears not to be the case. Once again, the grass is not slated to be cut until September.

Years ago, the area of the park at the end of the forested trail contained a playground with swings, a digger, picnic table and a large grassy area.

We often took our children to play and have picnics in the park. It was a small recreational hub and contained a lovely well-kept grassy area surrounded by the natural forest.

Several years ago, the structures were removed and relocated to Birchland school.

We were advised it was to curb young people from congregating at night along with other suspected shady activities.

walk through the park with our dogs. The grass is getting tall.

I have tripped on blackberry bush tentacles that are hidden in the grass. Gone are the days one can have a picnic at the table or kick a ball around because the grass it too tall. One has to watch now for debris or other nasty things hidden in the tall grass. It does not look inviting at all.

Last week, a neighbour called on me with a petition.

It requests the city restore Birchwood Park and the adjacent hydro right-of-way to lawn care and maintenance

levels of 2010. We want it to be mowed again once a week instead of twice a year. So far, more than 70 immediate neighbours in the Birchland neighbourhood have rallied on to sign the petition.

We have witnessed a slow erosion over time in our neighbourhood park in respect to the grassy area. We sincerely hope our petition will be successful in our efforts to restore Birchwood Park and the grass will be cut weekly, so we can all enjoy it once again.

The Editor, Re. “A 2.99% property tax hike in PoCo” (The Tri-City News, May 11).

I was shocked to read that taxes in PoCo are going up nearly 3% this year, in part to pay for new management hires the mayor wants after a taxpayer-funded trip to Paris.

Councillors Brad West and Dean Washington should be commended for voting against this money grab at a time when many of us are struggling to make ends meet.

Do Mayor Greg Moore and the other councillors who supported this budget think residents have money trees in their backyards? We are being priced out of our own community and most of city council couldn’t care less.

TRI-CITY CRIME

‘Large quantity of illegal drugs’: Mounties continued from front page

• Steve Sea-Hoon Lee, a 25-year-old Coquitlam resident, faces 25 counts of trafficking a controlled substance, and will appear in B.C. Provincial Court in Port Coquitlam on June 6.

• Shahab Karimi, a 26-year-

old Coquitlam resident, faces two counts of trafficking a controlled substance, and will appear in court on May 26.

• Hasan Hazif Ersoy, a 28-year-old Vancouver resident, faces four counts of trafficking a controlled substance, and is due in Vancouver Provincial Court on May 31.

• Tiam Alivand, a 24-yearold Vancouver resident, faces three counts of trafficking a controlled substance, and will appear in court in PoCo on June 6.

“The Coquitlam RCMP Drugs and Organized Crime Section has the ability and the resources to focus their attention on larger-scale, long-term investigations,” Const. Jamie Phillipson said in a press release. “By targeting criminal organizations involved in the

drug trade, they can work to reduce the negative impact drug trafficking has within our community.

$20.5M FOR NEW SCHOOL

A $20.5-million school on Burke Coquitlam will go to tender after the School District 43 board of education passed a capital spending bylaw for the project Tuesday.

The elementary school, set to open in September 2018 for 430 children in 19 classrooms, is being paid for with $17.6 million in provincial funding and $2.9 million is district cash.

The city of Coquitlam also contributed $5.15 million to purchase land for the project, with the district kicking in $4.8 million in land costs.

SD43 and the city have a joint use agreement in which the district will own the northern property and will operate the school while the city will own the southern portion, including the sports field.

Teenage girls, including several from the Tri-Cities, took part in the 2015 edition of Camp Ignite, a mentorship program that gives them an up-close look at the hard work and teamwork that goes into firefighting. Coquitlam and Port Moody fire departments are once again sponsoring local girls for the program in August.

GIRLS & EDUCATION

Camp aim to Ignite girls’ interests & confidence Camp Ignite will be held in August around Metro Van JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

Any teenage girls in the TriCities wanting to spend a week this summer learning how to fight fires, haul heavy gear and practise first aid should get their pens ready.

The next intake for Camp Ignite is now underway.

Up to 20 female high school students from across Metro Vancouver will be accepted in the sixth annual firefighting camp, with two participants exclusively sponsored by the Coquitlam and Port Moody fire departments and their firefighters’ union locals. Girls in Grades 11 and 12 have until June 3 to apply to be part of this August’s mentorship program.

Along with their application forms, candidates are required to write a 500-word essay about their personal hero.

Camp Ignite co-organizer Kim Saulnier, a Coquitlam fire inspector, said officials are looking for well-rounded students and team players to fill the spots.

Housed at Simon Fraser

University the week of Aug. 11 to 14, participants will learn together as they make their way to fire halls around the region.

There, they’ll learn from professionals about how to battle blazes and put on lifesaving gear.

Best of all, the lodging, meals and activities are free to attendees.

Port Moody Fire Chief Remo Faedo said his smoke-eaters enjoy showing the ropes to the girls. “Camp Ignite is a great opportunity for our department to reach out to female high school students and show them what opportunities are available in the fire service while having fun and learning new skills at the same time,” Faedo said.

Still, “this camp is not meant as a recruitment program,” camp leader Jenn Dawkins said. “Its purpose is to empower young women, using firefighting activities and letting them know they can do anything in life they choose.”

• Applications are now with Coquitlam secondary school counsellors. Completed forms are to be dropped off at Coquitlam’s Town Centre fire station (1300 Pinetree Way) by June 3. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

MISSING PERSONS

Missing since May 2007 SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

It’s been nearly a decade and there is still no sign of Kim Rogelstad.

She was 43 years old when she went missing and Coquitlam RCMP are hoping that publishing her photo again will help jog some memories.

“With people getting older, moving away from the city,

Date: Time: Location: Item 3

generations changing, we’re just hoping [to hear from] members of the community who may have been KIM ROGELSTAD in the area when she went missing, before they move elsewhere,” said Const. Jamie Phillipson.

Rogelstad was last seen by her family on May 27, 2007, in the Coquitlam Centre area.

Police received some tips as to her possible whereabouts at the time but none of them led to the missing woman.

Phillipson said when Rogelstad wasn’t working at the Pitt Meadows Golf and Country Club, she was often at the A&W or Starbucks in Pinetree Village, as well as the Coquitlam Centre food court.

Got big plans for the long weekend? Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get there so there’s no need to speed, police are warning.

Coquitlam RCMP Traffic Services, Tri-Cities Speed Watch volunteers and ICBC are focusing on high-risk drivers throughout May, and in particular over the long weekend.

Speeding continues to be a leading cause in car crash fatalities in B.C. Almost half (43%) of all police-reported casualty crashes in B.C. have high-risk driving — speeding, failing to yield, running red lights, following too closely and improper passing — as a contributing factor.

And be sure to leave your phone alone, even when stopped at a red light. The new fines for distracted driving kick in June 1 and start at $543.

“Kim was well known in the community and had deep roots in Port Coquitlam, having grown up and gone to school there,” he added.

Anyone with information as to Rogelstad’s whereabouts is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2007-19504 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or go to www.solvecrime.ca.

PIPELINE EXPANSION

NEB OKs Kinder Morgan pipeline But final decision rests with federal Liberal cabinet JENNIFER MOREAU BURNABY NOW

The Kinder Morgan pipeline plan cleared a major hurdle yesterday.

The National Energy Board is recommending the federal government approve the company’s plan to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline as long as 157 conditions are met.

The announcement came down Thursday after more than two years of hearings and a record number of participants weighing in.

“The board is of the view that overall, with the implementation of Trans Mountain’s environmental protection procedures and mitigation, an the board’s recommended conditions, the project would not likely cause significant environment effects,” said Robert Steedman, the NEB’s chief environment officer, in a statement read to media via teleconference from Calgary.

Steedman went on to note

NEB’S REASONS The NEB’s main task was to determine whether the project was in Canada’s best interests. Here are the main reasons it said yes to the pipeline: • increased access for Canadian oil; • hundreds of long term jobs, thousands in construction; • development for indigenous communities; • benefits from spending on pipeline materials; • considerable government revenue. the board found “significant effects” in relation to increases in tanker traffic associated with the expansion. Tankers are expected to increase from five per month to 34 but marine shipping is outside the NEB’s jurisdiction.

In the NEB’s 533-page report, the board stated the decision was a “difficult one” and noted that many of the benefits are national or regional, yet the burdens are rest with local, regional and Aboriginal communities.

The board’s approval means the pipeline’s fate now rests with the federal Liberal cabinet; the final decision will likely be announced in December.

The NEB review included an environmental assessment, as per federal regulations.

The pipeline route from the Burnaby Mountain tank farm to the Westridge Marine Terminal is still not clear, as noted in the report. If Kinder Morgan can’t go through Burnaby Mountain, the line will likely run through the city’s Westridge neighbourhood.

One of the board’s 157 conditions speaks to criticism from Burnaby’s fire department about the company’s firefighting capabilities at the local tank farm, something that was already included in the earlier released draft conditions. The board also requires Kinder Morgan to assess fire fighting equipment and consult with appropriate municipal representatives and first responders.

The board also called for an updated risk assessment for the Burnaby terminal.

REAL ESTATE

Outlook on housing is upbeat in spite of its high prices CMHC projects continued Metro real estate gains JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

A new market outlook from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. predicts higher real estate prices, housing starts and sales this year in the Lower Mainland, despite what it flags as “problematic price acceleration” near Vancouver.

“There is evidence that overvaluation is detected in the Vancouver housing market,” according to the CMHC report.

It forecasts the average MLS resale price across all home types in Metro Vancouver will continue to climb from $903,000 in 2015 to between $1.022 million and $1.128 million in 2016 and to between $1.045 million and $1.179 million in 2017.

The CMHC report said the gains could be at the lower end of that range if there’s easing of what it calls the imbalance between current elevated house prices and what’s supported by underlying fundamentals.

“Alternatively, in the absence of a shock to trigger this scenario, the province’s housing market would see levels of starts, sales and prices in the upper part of the wide ranges.”

The report said threats that could dampen the market include the growing number of highly indebted households

that will be more vulnerable to job loss or a jump in interest rates, as well as a sharperthan-expected slowdown in economic growth in China, which would ripple through the Canadian economy.

Metro Vancouver home prices were up 26% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a year earlier.

The CMHC expects more listings over the next 18 months, as prospective sellers are attracted by the recent steep price jumps.

But it notes some sellers may be hesitant to list their homes if they’re unsure if they can find another home in the region.

Others willing to relocate to another region will see it as an opportunity to cash in on high prices.

“Single detached homes, particularly in central locations, will continue to attract high net worth buyers, both local and offshore,” it predicts.

The price gains for detached houses have outpaced condos in Metro Vancouver. That’s been most noticeable in suburbs, where house prices have climbed at more than twice the rate of apartment condo prices, while the gap in outsized house gains has begun to narrow in Vancouver and West Van, where apartment price gains have lately been higher than houses.

Average rents in the region are forecast to climb by close to 3% a year. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

PORT COQUITLAM

No big Games for PoCo in the 2020s Also: City hands out thousands in culture grants JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam is taking a pass on hosting the 2020 or 2022 BC winter or summer games.

At its Thursday meeting, the city’s healthy community committee was expected to decline the offer from the BC Games Society to host either event.

The games draw about 3,000 competitors and 500 supporters over a four-day period; in the past, host municipalities have spent up to $150,000 plus staff time and other in-kind services.

“This proposal has been reviewed at a staff level and it has been determined that at this time it is not feasible for the city of Port Coquitlam to bid to host an event of this magnitude,” wrote area recreation manager Glenn Mitzel in a committee report.

Other PoCo News:

CULTURE GRANTS

Three Port Coquitlam groups are slated to receive

cultural development grants from the city.

At Thursday’s healthy community committee meeting, the Polonez Tri-City Polish Association and the Art Focus Artists’ Association were expected to be awarded $2,500 each while the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society was to get $5,000.

The latter grant is for the society to host a national touring exhibit on hometown hero Terry Fox, created by the Canadian Museum of History, in September 2017.

Meanwhile, the committee was also expected to hand out self-matching grants to: the Ducks Volleyball Club for competition volleyballs ($1,653); the Port Coquitlam Community Garden for a fence around its garden in Elks Park ($2,257); and the Kwayhquitlum middle school PAC for courtyard updates ($2,807).

FILL IN & WIN

Live or work in Port Coquitlam? You have the chance to win an iPad — but first, you have to fill out a survey by May 29.

The city wants feedback on its communication methods: How do you prefer to get infor-

mation from the municipality and how it can improve its website and online tools?

The poll takes about five minutes and respondents will be entered to win an iPad Mini.

The outreach comes after council this year budgeted $40,000 to revamp the city website to make it more userfriendly. To be entered in the draw, visit portcoquitlam.ca/ survey.

NO TICKETMASTER

Ticketmaster will no longer have an outlet in Port Coquitlam — or in any other part of the country — later this year.

The city will end its agreement with the ticketing agency on Sept. 2 to conclude its operations at Leigh Square Community Arts Village, where it has been located since 2005.

The city received a commission for hosting the service: From 2013 to 2015, it took in a total of $11,808; however, with declining retail sales, it has reaped $1,800 so far this year, according to a staff report.

Ticketmaster plans to focus its future services on mobile and digital formats. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

City of Coquitlam

Notice of Public Consultation The City has received an application to amend the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) relating to the properties at 3553, 3557, 3563, 3567 and 3575 Victoria Drive and 3570 Baycrest Avenue. The application proposes a change in the land use designation for one portion of the subject sites from Townhousing Residential to Baycrest Low Density Residential and a change to a second portion of the sites from Baycrest Low Density Residential to Townhousing Residential. If approved, these changes would adjust the proposed single-family and townhouse site layout to facilitate a development with a building orientation that retains the slope of the site.

You are now being invited to provide input to Council with respect to the above-noted application.

The City of Coquitlam will be receiving the input requested herein up to Friday, June 3, 2016. Written correspondence can be provided in one of the following ways: By email to clerks@coquitlam.ca Fax: 604-927-3015 Mail: City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, V3B 7N2 In person at City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way at the City Clerk’s Office during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Friday, May 13, 2016 to Friday, June 3, 2016 excluding statutory holidays To obtain more information on this application you may:

•

Visit the Planning and Development Department at 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays

•

Call Jonathan Jackson, Development Planner, Planning and Development Department, at 604-927-3428 or email JJackson@coquitlam.ca

All written submissions provided in response to this consultation will become part of the public record which includes the submissions being made available for public inspection at Coquitlam City Hall (at the Planning and Development counter) and potentially on our website as part of a future agenda package at www.coquitlam.ca/agendas.

Should Council grant first reading to the proposed CWOCP amendment, a Public Hearing will be held with notification to be provided in accordance with the Local Government Act.

Long weekend of laughter, Latin dance and the Comic Strippers SARAH PAYNE

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Hello, long weekend, nice to see you again. There’s rain in store so skip the camping plans and stick around town, where there’s plenty of laughter, Latin moves and live music in store — not to mention that extra, blissful day off.

Friday, May 20 FREEBIE FITNESS

Andrea Hunter, the early learning co-ordinator for School District 43, earned the Leadership Champion Award while Gayle McAllister garnered the Champion for Children Who Have Special Needs prize. McAllister is a consultant with the supported child development program at the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living.

Meanwhile, Childgarden Preschool & Discoveries was named as the Champion Group Winner and SD43 Strongstart facilitator Julia Punzo won in the Individual Champion category. Julie Yu was named the Volunteer Champion for her work with the city of Port Coquitlam children’s services division.

The July 15 bike race is part of BC Superweek — Canada’s largest professional road cycling series, with a number of races in various Metro Vancouver communities — and is expected to attract thousands to downtown PoCo. And dozens of volunteers and sponsors are needed to make the Grand Prix a success.

Approximately 150 volunteers over the age of 15 are needed for tasks including team cap-

tains, race course fencing, signage, marshalling, VIP tent, beer garden, fundraising, first aid, PoCo Grand Prix Expo (a trade show), street team event hosts, event setup and takedown, and other areas.

The PoCo Grand Prix will feature about 200 international cyclists racing along a 1.3-km criterium-style circuit in downtown PoCo; there will also be a community festival including entertainment, a beer garden and other activities for all ages.

Registration will open in the coming weeks for public events such as children’s and youth races and a corporate challenge.

What about sprinkling?

We recognize that many residents who bought nematodes last year were not able to use them due to Metro Vancouver’s water restrictions. While the City has to comply with regional directives, we understand how this impacted residents.

There’s some good news - Metro Vancouver is allowing water sprinkling exemptions this year to assist residents with Chafer control!

EATING WELL

Spring has sprung: Eat your greens, vitamins

KAREN CURTIS

I

t would appear that spring is once again off to an earlier than usual start. Local strawberries have already made their first market appearance and my faithful rhodo was finished blooming before my birthday this year. That was always my spring gauge. It didn’t matter how early people said spring was, my rhodo bloomed

on my birthday in early May. So what to do with all this spring bounty? Salads are always fast and easy, and there certainly is a plethora of choices at market. Greens and shoots make up much of a farmer’s stall at this time of year but there is plenty to choose from. I saw zucchini, leeks, new potatoes, bok choy, rainbow chard, kale, beets and hot house peppers this past weekend. I feel a feast coming on.

Many of the farm vendors are also selling bedding plants.

Perhaps you would like to put a few garden boxes in this year?

It can be a simple as a pot full of herbs ready to snip into your favourite dishes or as complex as a full vegetable garden. Either way, your kitchen will thank you.

THE RECIPES: PASTA & FRUIT SALSA, TOO LEMON ZUCCHINI PASTA

4 small zucchini squash, cut into 1/4-inch rounds, then cut in half again 1 shallot or small yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 tbsp olive oil 8 oz dry pasta such as penne or bow ties 1 cup Golden Ears Cheesecrafters herbed soft cheese zest of one lemon freshly ground black pepper fresh basil leaf Cook pasta according to package directions, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, sauté onions in olive oil until they start to caramelize. Add zucchini and continue cooking 4-5 minutes. Do not overcook the zucchini. Stir in cheese, lemon zest. Thin sauce with pasta water if needed.

Season with freshly ground black pepper. Stir in pasta and serve in bowls. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf.

Note: Ricotta cheese works well, too, just be sure to add ½ tsp Italian seasoning to the veggies when you cook them.

STRAWBERRY SALSA

1 lb. strawberries, diced (about 2 cups) 1/4 cup red or green onion, finely diced or sliced 2 tbsp mild or medium Aji (found at market) 1 lime, juice and zest 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped salt to taste Combine above ingredients and serve over baked brie or grilled chicken.

COQUITLAM FOUNDATION

Legacy fund $ sought Coquitlam Foundation has established a unique fund to mark the city of Coquitlam’s 125th anniversary this year — and is calling for donations to boost that fund.

The Coquitlam Foundation 125 Legacy Fund is designed to enable the foundation to support community legacy projects.

And in a release last week, foundation chair Janet Toddington called for citizens to help endow the fund with $125,000 by the end of 2016.

“This fund is designed to enable individuals and groups to both celebrate and enhance our community and, by so doing, leave a legacy for future genera-

tions,” said the foundation’s executive director, Jill Cook.

Examples of legacy projects that might be funded include: public art, book publications, video productions, musical compositions, restoration projects, community infrastructure (gardens, trails, etc.) projects and commemorative plaques.

Those interested in donating now or applying for a grant in the future should email info@coquitlamfoundation or phone 604468-9598.

they never fail to perform beautifully.

So now that you know what is available at the market, let’s have a look at what makes all those lovely spring veggies so special.

But what if you don’t want to plant food? Floralia Growers brings its spectacular hanging baskets every spring and they are perfect for brightening up your yard or balcony. We get three or four every year and

K in a single serving. Sauté it in a bit of olive oil, add some peppers and not only will your plate look like a rainbow, but your body will be happy, too.

And then there are the beets.

Did you know the whole vegetable is edible? The tops are a great substitute for spinach when steamed. The root can be served cooked or raw. Beets are so versatile you can even make a red velvet cake with them. It won’t have any fewer calories but they will be good calories.

Head over to the Coquitlam Market on Sunday and fill your basket with spring’s bounty.

You won’t be sorry.

Lettuces are a great source of Vitamin A, which is critical for eye health. Kale is an even better source.

Leeks will give you a halfday’s supply of Vitamin K, which is necessary for blood coagulation. (amazing what you can learn from Wikipedia).

As for new potatoes, a 3.5 oz serving will give you 25% of your daily B6 and Vitamin C allotment. I don’t know about you but 3.5 oz of new potatoes, dripping with butter, is but a mouthful in my world.

That takes care of the new green and white vegetables, but you need some colour, too.

Rainbow chard and peppers are beautiful this time of year.

Chard will give you a half-day’s allotment of Vitamins A and C, and a week’s worth of Vitamin

The bounty of veggies has already begun at Coquitlam Farmers Market, writes Karen Curtis.

Speculative fiction next topic for Wordsmiths What if?

Tri-City Wordsmiths writing group holds its next meeting on Saturday, June 4 at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Library and that question will be the key.

“Speculative Fiction: The Literature of ‘What If?’” will be presented by New Westminster instructor and author Eileen Kernaghan, who has written nine historical fantasy novels and is a three-time winner of the Aurora Award for Canadian speculative fiction. Her latest novel, Sophie, in Shadow (Thistledown Press, 2014) was shortlisted for the Sheila Egoff BC Book Prize and the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic.

Kernaghan regularly leads writing workshops at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts (Burnaby) and Kyle Centre (Port Moody), and her specu-

“We have a very strict protocol,” says Morey Chaplick, owner of Sky Zone in Surrey.

Big kids are not allowed to jump with little kids, especially when it’s busy, he says. There are court monitors throughout the jump park, and there is always a manager on duty.

EILEEN KERNAGHAN lative short stories and poems have appeared in a number of North American magazines and anthologies over the years.

Learn about the strange and wonderful world of speculative fiction, which includes such genres as science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, magic realism and ghost stories.

The meeting is free to attend — it runs from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at

Fox, 2470 Mary Hill Rd. — but library registration is required by calling 604-927-7999.

Meetings of the Tri-City Wordsmiths are held on the first Saturday of every second month.

Applications are available from high school counsellors or the Legion office. The deadline to apply is June 15.

Chaplick discovered Sky Zone when he lived in Toronto and took his son there, and was impressed by the safe, fun facility.

Now he’s opened his own park, filled with blue and orange trampolines as far as the eye can see.

“Don’t try to do something beyond your capabilities,” Chaplick says. “Ask for help, and stay within limitations.”

Sky Zone in Surrey is at 11125-124th Street, a short drive from Burnaby.

The trampoline park is across the road from Scott Road SkyTrain station. The SkyTrain trip takes approximately 15 minutes from Metrotown to Scott Road station.

The Surrey trampoline park is the only Sky Zone in Western Canada. The company has been operating for 20 years and has 200 franchises worldwide.

But despite its size, the 30,000-squarefoot facility has plenty of oversight from employees. The court monitors train for weeks at Sky Zone University, and managers are trained extensively in California, where the franchise is based.

Former Steveston Secondary Site Now Home to

POLYGON’S KINGSLEY ESTATES

T

he historic fishing village of Steveston blends the best of urban sophistication with rural charm.

It is a mixed bag of small independent shops, trendy restaurants, bistros and coffee shops, all within about eight square blocks.

Now there is another reason to move into the neighbourhood. Bordered by a 15-acre park, the former Steveston Secondary site in Richmond has received a major facelift. Welcome to Polygon’s Kingsley Estates – a collection of 133 executive-style four-bedroom townhomes ranging from 1,688 to 2,008 square feet.

“Kingsley Estates is a benchmark new community in Richmond,” says May Kam, Kingsley Estates sales manager.

“Imagine experiencing exceptional townhome living in a serene community alongside a magnificent 15-acre park,

complete with lush landscaping, a private clubhouse, and a live-in caretaker for additional peace of mind.”

Architecturally, the Tudor-inspired homes at Kingsley Estates are highlighted by exposed timber detailing and steeped gable rooflines. These thoughtfully designed West Coast-inspired homes feature four bedrooms, overheight 10-foot ceilings in the main-floor living areas, powder rooms with marble flooring and large windows with views of the surrounding treetops. The kitchens are complemented with wood or acrylic finish cabinetry, engineered stone countertops with full-height marble backsplash, large islands, gas cooktops and walk-in pantries.

The homes also boast side-by-side garages, maintenance-free landscaping and a charming front yard with quaint wooden fencing.

After a long day, residents can head over to the private clubhouse and unwind beside the fireplace’s warmth or lace up their runners and get in a workout in the fully equipped fitness room. The clubhouse is designed to become the hub for neighbours, family and friends to get together. The indoor-outdoor gathering space is separated by the double doors that lead from the lounge to a courtyard with plenty of space to relax and enjoy soirees.

Parkside living, endless cycling and walking trails, quality finishes and a great location in Steveston – just some of the reasons why Polygon’s Kingsley Estates is so appealing to many.

“Living in the finest area of Richmond comes with exclusive benefits, including being minutes from the restaurants, boutiques and shoreline pathways of

Marshell Forster 604-561-4012

Steveston Village, as well as the exciting shopping and urban amenities of Richmond city centre,” adds Kam. The Polygon family of companies is synonymous with building excellence.

With more than three decades of experience in the province, Polygon has built more than 26,000 homes throughout the Lower Mainland – everything from concrete high-rises and woodframe condominiums to townhomes and single-family communities. The developer is known for its commitment to quality design, sound construction and exceptional customer service.

For more information about Kingsley Estates, please call 604-821-1384, email kingsley@polyhomes.com or visit www. polyhomes.com. Tentative occupancy for the first collection of homes at Kingsley Estates is expected to be fall 2016.

Coquitlam Adanacs goalie Josh Phillips stood on his head Tuesday night but it was not enough to stop the Burnaby Lakers and notch a win in the first Western Lacrosse Association matchup of the season.

The A’s netminder stopped 40 of the 48 shots he faced during 59 minutes of action at the Bill Copeland Arena, earning third-star honours during the 8-6 road loss.

Things started off well for the visitors, who were first to light up the board with a Reid Reinholdt goal assisted

by Ryan Johnson, who was recently named alternate captain for the season. The A’s held on to the 1-0 lead for the remainder of the opening frame, despite the Lakers registering 20 shots in the first 20 minutes of action.

But Burnaby started to find the net in the second period and tied the game with a goal from Jason Jones, who went on to score a hat trick and earn first-star honours, and Evan Messenger, the secondstar of the game.

Coquitlam’s Jaeden Gastaldo briefly tied things up, but two more goals from Burnaby — one from Jones and another from Jackson Decker — restored the lead for the home team.

The A’s tied things up early in the third period when Reinholdt scored his second of the game, but the Lakers began to pull away on the
