Walking for an MS cure Janis Warren

COURTESY OF DIANA WATSON

Diana Watson, left, and her cousin Kathy-Ann Nobbs-Thiessen of Room to Move, a dance and fitness studio in Port Coquitlam, will lead the warm-up for the ScotiaBank MS Walk in Port Moody Sunday.

Diana Watson has a positive, never-give-up attitude that radiates when she talks.

The 38-year-old Port Coquitlam resident owns a successful dance and fitness studio called Room to Move and teaches Zumba, Jumping, pole dance, flying stretch and hoop dancing.

But, because she’s so active and always has a smile on her face, her students don’t know the pain she lives through nearly every day.

As a child, Watson had metal rods implanted in her back to correct a curvature in her spine from scoliosis. And eight years ago, she received another health blow: she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Watson didn’t give it a second thought. Everybody she knew with the disease was in a wheelchair; she didn’t have any mobility problems. see TeAM HAS, page 12

TRANSIT PLEBISCITE

Crunch time for getting in transit referendum ballots Residents have until May 29 to get their votes in Diane stranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

If you see a yellow envelope lying around with voting information for the upcoming transit referendum, now is the time to fill it out and send it in.

The close of voting for the

plebiscite is 8 p.m. Friday, May 29, according to the Elections BC website (www.elections. bc.ca/plebiscite), and with little more than one week to go time is of the essence to vote on a 0.5% increase in the provincial sales tax to fund various transportation improvements.

Mailing them in by Canada Post is no longer recommended in case they don’t arrive in time.

Last-minute voters can instead drop their ballot packages off at the Elections BC plebiscite of-

fice at Coquitlam Centre mall.

So far, the voter response rate is higher than what one would normally see during a civic election, with most cities in the 40% range, or higher. (In the last civic election, voter turnout in the Tri-Cities ranged from 26% to 35.5%) The news is pleasing Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore who is the spokesperson for the Mayor’s Council, the organization promoting the transportation investment plan. see BAlloT, page 12

MOSSOM HATCHERY

$125k will pay for new education programs Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

With a new building and hatchery now in place, the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society (BIMES) is set to begin a new phase of educating children and adults about salmon and the environment and a $125,000, three-year grant will help make it happen.

On Thursday, Port Metro Vancouver announced the funding during a sign unveiling and official grand opening at the newly rebuilt Mossom Creek Hatchery in Port Moody.

The funding will be used to develop environmental programs to raise awareness about the importance of the Mossom watershed and the marine ecosystem of Port Moody Inlet, said Evangeline Englezos, director of community and aboriginal affairs.

“We are committed to a thriving community and being a good neighbour,” Englezos said of Port Metro Vancouver’s decision to contribute to Mossom Creek, noting that the port is Canada’s largest, handling about 20% of the country’s marine trade traffic.

The funding announcement capped a morning of milestones, as BIMES directors, including president Kyle Pilon and founders Rod MacVicar and Ruth Foster acknowledged community contributions and thanked the many businesses, community groups and individuals who helped rebuild the hatchery, which burned down in December 2013.

The latest project was the completion of a pond and wetland, replacing the original pond built of concrete.

Completed only 15 hours before the grand opening, the

new pond will soon be home to frogs, insects and other creatures and, by enhancing the natural environment, help reduce the hatchery’s original footprint by 30%.

Several politicians were on hand to credit the organization for rebuilding the hatchery in such a short time frame.

Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam MP James Moore, who brought his son Spencer to the mic, said he grew up with a Mossom hatchery, which thanks to volunteer efforts, will be around for his child.

Port Moody councillor and acting mayor Diana Dilworth recounted the night of the fire about 18 months ago when sirens could be heard screaming up Ioco Road. She said those attending a parks and recreation meeting at her house that night were stunned when they heard the news about the hatchery burning down.

But out of tragedy grew triumph, Dilworth said, and she presented volunteer project manager Pat Dennett with an exemplary civic service award for steering the project from design through completion.

Dennett said he was surprised by the acknowledgement and got involved simply because he wanted to contribute to his community.

“I am pleased to say that we finished our project ahead of schedule and under budget and now have a facility that will be a key component of our Port Moody community in years to come.” Dennett said.

• The public are invited to an open house at the hatchery tomorrow (Saturday), between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

There will be crafts, tours and refreshments. @dstrandbergTC

sit in a portable or a crowded school where the education will not be up to standard.”

A group has launched a website, a Twitter account and a Facebook profile to share news and information.

The website schoolsforburke.com and #SchoolsForBurke was set up to share information and concerns about lack of schools in the new Coquitlam neighbourhood.

Parents are not helpless when it comes to steering their child away from crime, says a local restorative justice advocate, and preventing a child from getting involved in destructive behaviours may be as simple as opening the lines of communication.

“I’m an optimist, I think each and every individual can most definitely be helped and having the right support in place is absolutely vital,” said Gurinder Mann, executive director of CERA Society, which operates in New Westminster and the Tri-Cities.

With several years working to resolve criminal cases involving young people between the ages of 12 and 25, Mann has identified parenting strategies that work to divert children away from crime.

Although youth crime is relatively rare, the cases are often high profile in the media.

A recent swatting case involving a Coquitlam youth awaiting sentencing for 23 offences of extortion, public mischief and criminal harassment, and two stabbings in Whistler on the May long weekend involving teens, may have parents and guardians wondering what more they can do to keep their kids close and away from trouble.

Mann believes CERA can help. His organization handles about 40 to 50 cases referred

by Crown counsel, RCMP and New Westminster and Port Moody police each year to resolve issues between youth and their victims. Typically, the young person comes to understand the harm they caused, and makes amends, which could range from a simple written apology to paying for damages.

But Mann said he’d rather see young people diverted from criminal activity, and to that end his organization is hosting two meetings early next month, in New Westminster and Coquitlam, to provide parents with tips and strategies for supporting their kids.

The first will be Wednesday, June 3 between 7 and 8:30 p.m. in the council chambers at Coquitlam city hall (3000 Guildford Way) and the second will be held Thursday, June 4 in the library at New Westminster secondary school (835-8th St., New Westminster) between 7 and 8:30 p.m.

“We would like to see as many parents who are experiencing difficulties and who are tackling youth crime in a household to attend, they can benefit from this the most,” said Mann, noting that the forums are free and no registration is required.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Info coming on new Burke schools Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Burke Mountain families will finally hear something about construction of new schools in the fast-growing neighbourhood, including the long-awaited Smiling Creek elementary school.

But for now, School District 43 is being mum about details for a meeting planned for June 16, except to say a press release will be available then, and work is

still ongoing on finalizing the plans.

“Unfortunately it has taken it this long to get all the parties at the table, and dot the I’s and cross the T’s,” said board chair Judy Shirra.

The province is reviewing plans, Shirra said, and an announcement should be ready by the mid-June date.

“There will be an announcement if everything goes right for the ministry, I’m hoping we’ll have good firm information by then.”

The Future of Burke Mountain Schools meeting, planned for Tuesday, June 16 at 7 p.m. will be held at Leigh elementary in Coquitlam.

Parents in the area have been frustrated with what they say is an overly long wait for a new elementary school and have been lobbying the school district and other local politicians.

Bjoern Ossenbrink, who moved to Burke Mountain last year with his family, says he wants the district to ex-

plain why it has taken so long to get an elementary school built and why a secondary school is planned before a middle school.

“We want to see the open books about what has happened since 2010 to now, the community is growing,” Ossenbrink said, adding that he will have to move if proper timelines and construction aren’t in place to ensure his child has a safe, uncrowded school to go to.

green bin buffet a ‘perfect storm’ for bears Officials fear food waste increase wildlife encounters

ings of a cougar family around Port Moody, Ambrose said.

Delta council, meanwhile, is calling on the province to assess the populations of urban wildlife and help municipalities find solutions to reduce conflicts.

“Raccoons are becoming a bigger and bigger problem and nobody seems to be doing anything about it,” said Delta Coun.

Bruce McDonald.

He said the furry bandits are ripping up roofs in east Ladner — causing thousands of dollars in damage to homes – in an attempt to dig their way inside.

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver cities’ move to mandatory curbside pickup of organic food waste has served up a dangerous buffet for bears, creating a risk that more will have to be destroyed.

That’s the warning from Dr. Sara Dubois, the chief science officer for the B.C. SPCA, who’d like to see more cities require locking green bins to avoid attracting wildlife.

“Unfortunately, I just don’t think they thought ahead of rolling this food scrap program out,” she said.

“You’ve got these bins in every community now and they’re generally not locked and they’re basically buffets for bears.”

Next week, Port Coquitlam will start to distribute clamptype locks to homes in areas frequented by bears and Dubois would like to see other cities follow suit.

“That prevents a lot of animals from having to be killed,” she said, adding not all households are able to store bins indoors until pickup day.

She said the mild winter may further increase the risk of bearhuman conflict this year.

“A number of bears didn’t get a full winter’s sleep,” Dubois said. “They were out very early.

They had almost no slumber cycle. So that’s a real concern for us.”

Meanwhile, she said, several cities have lost provincial funding to hire local WildSafe BC co-ordinators, who coach residents on how to avoid animal conflicts and remove attractants, as is required under provincial law.

Ideally, she said, there would be more coordinators who speak multiple languages to help newcomers unfamiliar with B.C. wildlife.

“It’s a bit of a perfect storm here, unfortunately,” she said.

“The poor conservation officers are going to have to respond to these calls as best they can.”

sites,” McDonald said. “And of course if they get into your house and have a litter there you can’t take them out until they’re old enough. You get rain coming through the holes in the roof.”

He said a friend in Ladner is “just beside herself” dealing with home-invading raccoons.

CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

Port Coquitlam Coun. Brad West, chairperson of the city’s transportation solutions and public works committee, shows the new wildlife-resistant cart locks that the municipality will start to distribute Monday to homes in bear territory. The “made-in-PoCo” Critter Guard locks — which cost the city $779,000 — are for 240L and 360L garbage and green bins and will be hand-delivered to the doorsteps of 6,500 homes with city garbage pick-up north of Lougheed Highway as well as to 1,000 homes south of Lougheed and west of Shaughnessy Street. Homeowners who have already bought Critter Guards will be reimbursed $75 per lock on their 2015 property tax bill. Call 604-927-5496 or email operations@ portcoquitlam.ca.

Bear attractants can include not just garbage, but also bird feeders, compost, fallen fruit from trees, bee hives and increasingly popular backyard chickens.

Unlocked organic waste bins have definitely worsened the bear attractant problem, said conservation officer Cody Ambrose, adding garbagehabituated bears generally must be destroyed rather than relocated.

“It really comes down to attractants,” he said. “If bears don’t have access to human food sources and garbage, we wouldn’t have as many wildlifehuman conflicts.”

Another problem he pointed to is privately contracted gar-

bage pickup in some cities such as Maple Ridge. Because each home can hire different firms, bears can usually find garbage out on the curb each day on every street, rather than in just one specific zone of the city each day.

Metro Vancouver’s bear hot spots tend to be the the TriCities, North Shore and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, but they can show up anywhere — one was spotted roaming central Vancouver earlier this month.

PORT MOODY

New home plans now available for feedback Sarah PayNe The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody is fine-tuning ways to ensure its residents make changes to their properties in a neighbourly way.

Two policies — a set of Good Neighbour Guidelines and a neighbourhood feedback process — borne out of council’s debate over the large homes issue were discussed at Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting.

The neighbourhood feedback process will mean residents within a 100 m radius are to be notified about pending plans for a new home in the area, plans to increase an existing building’s height or an extension to exterior walls that would add 50 square metres (538 square feet) or more.

Neighbours will then be able to view the site plans and elevation drawings at city hall and provide their comments in a feedback form. The form would then be sent to the property owner, with the encouragement that they contact their neighbours directly to begin a dialogue and sort out any issues.

As well, a sign with information similar to the notification letter will be posted on site.

Neighbours will now be able to view site plans and drawings at city hall when new homes go up in their area. and staff time would be paid by the property owner.

PoMo residents will also be able to check out the detailed Good Neighbour Guidelines booklet when it’s published soon.

The committee was shown a first draft of the document, which covers issues in three main categories.

Property development and building permits outlines information and bylaws pertaining to designing a new home, planning a major addition and demolishing an existing building, and encourages owners to talk to their neighbours about how view corridors, parking and retaining walls might be affected.

Regulations on noise levels and unsightly properties, as well as parking regulations,

stream and tree protection, sidewalk and boulevard maintenance and more are covered in the second section, which also suggests residents help out their neighbours during large snowfalls or other times of need.

The guidelines also cover responsible pet ownership, with regulations on licensing and offleash dog park locations, as well as cleaning up after pets. It also notes that excessive barking or howling can be particularly disruptive for neighbours.

The online version of the guidelines include links to other city documents such as bylaws or other regulations, and can be easily updated.

Staff have proposed printing 500 copies of the document to be available at city facilities.

PORT MOODY

Pay parking debated for rocky Point Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Rocky Point Park in Port Moody was the destination for picnics during the May holiday long weekend. The park was packed with people, with long-line ups for Pajo’s fish and chips and Rocky Point Ice Cream.

throughout the discussion that she is opposed to pay parking at Rocky Point given the city’s changing landscape under the new official community plan and soon-to-arrive Evergreen Line.

It’s hoped that ticket revenue would offset any costs for the meters, software and bylaw officer time.

Port Moody continues to grapple with the potential of pay parking at Rocky Point Park, two years after the subject was first introduced at council.

At Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting council DIANE STRANDBERG THE TRI-CITY NEWS members, with the exception spayne@tricitynews.com of the absent Mayor Mike Clay, debated for nearly an hour a request from staff to provide more direction on where pay parking fits with council’s new strategic priority agenda.

In July 2014 the previous council directed staff to implement a trial pay parking program at Rocky Point that would charge non-residents $1 per hour up to a four-hour maximum; Port Moody residents would register up to two licence plates and receive free parking. After significant public outcry, however, council decided public consultation should come before a trial program to start in July 2015.

That public consultation never happened — nor will it — after the committee voted to keep a pay parking-only model on the table but also to have staff report back on increasing enforcement of time-limited parking and on metered and limited free parking.

Council members struggled with whether to proceed with a trial program, noting widespread opposition from Port Moody residents, visitors and businesses who said pay parking defeats the city’s goals of increasing tourism, particularly at the popular park.

But they also puzzled over defeating a motion council had supported twice in the past two years, or moving ahead with the program but without the public consultation.

“This is a trial, it’s just for the summer, after that we can get feedback and see how it worked,” said Coun. Meghan Lahti. “Nobody’s going to be in favour of pay parking, let’s face it.”

Coun. Diana Dilworth, who first introduced the concept of pay parking at Rocky Point back in the summer of 2013, echoed Lahti’s statements and said pay parking is needed because the lot are being used by increasing numbers of people visiting nearby businesses.

Eventually the committee agreed to somewhat of a hybrid solution that would incorporate some of the extensive legwork already logged on the pay parking trial, directing staff to report back on options for using the proposed meters to monitor time limits for parking Hwy., Port Coquitlam 1881 Lougheed Hwy.,1881 PortLougheed Coquitlam 1881 Lougheed Hwy., Port Coquitlam and to step up enforcement.

OUR OPINION

SkyTrain vs.

LRT debate

We don’t envy Surrey the LRT versus SkyTrain debate that the Tri-Cities went through about a decade ago.

Surrey is only now going through the agonizing discussion, with a recent Shirocca Consulting study suggesting that two LRT lines, costing $2.1 billion would provide millions of dollars in economic benefits and provide more stations and a pedestrian-friendly option more in scale with the community than SkyTrain. SkyTrain boosters, meanwhile, want a seamless system that can get commuters to downtown vancouver in under an hour.

It’s bittersweet to see the debate that Tri-City residents and politicians agonized over a decade ago. but it was the province that decided in 2008 that SkyTrain would be the system here, and the province will likely make the decision for our neighbours to the east, too.

Still, Surrey is smart to take a close look at the options while keeping in mind who really calls the shots.

Traffic snarls not my idea of weekend fun AS I SEE IT

a

short trip to Yarrow via side roads friday afternoon was further confirmation of my conviction never to travel b.C. highways on a long weekend.

There in the freeway median near the Cole Road offramp was a rollover, decorated with police tape. The accident occurred at about 1:30 p.m. at 5 p.m., according to the radio, eastbound traffic was still at a stop-and-go crawl all the way west to 232nd Street in Langley — all because lookyloos had to check out the wreck. a flashing light, someone changing a tire on the shoulder or even a coyote standing in a field is enough to put weekend getaway journeys on interminable delay as drivers rubberneck.

Invariably, as traffic slows, an inattentive driver, on the phone or texting or daydreaming at speed, rams another vehicle and even more prolonged traffic chaos ensues. on friday, apparently all eastbound routes — fraser Highway, Huntingdon Road, 58th avenue and others — were jammed as formerly happy travellers tried to avoid the freeway snarl, resulting, of course, in equally slow

TC

going regardless of the route chosen. and it all happened again Monday morning: freeway closed at almost the same spot due to a rollover. Parallel roads jammed as homeward-bound holidayers avoided the blockade. all that time wasted, whining kids in the back seat, vast amounts of fuel burned at idle — no thanks, I’m just happy to stay at home.

However, I do feel for those who try to make the most of a weekend and who want to get out of town with their family to enjoy the magnificence of what b.C. offers. I just don’t understand why so many have to slow down for no other reason than morbid curiosity. I will confess that I too rubberneck; I just do it at speed, which admittedly, may also have its issues.

Thankfully, I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to arrange my time so that my “long weekends” can be scheduled for those not containing a holiday, and thus both the highways and the destinations are considerably less congested.

Thus, rather than join the fray on this first long week-

end of the summer, I chose instead to create the beginnings of a 100-foot diet: half a dozen raised garden beds, with more on the way. fast as I could build them and fill with dirt, they were planted with all manner of future produce. I can just imagine the bounty to come — all at once. I’m sure we’ll be giving away vast quantities of squash, beets, carrots and almost anything else that can be grown in our climate.

Not only will there be too much to eat ourselves, I can assure you that each beet and carrot will, due to the purchase of dirt, lumber, screws, wire (in what will be a fruitless effort to keep out the rabbits), cost remarkably more than it would be to buy from even the most thrifty of grocery stores. on the other hand, we will know where it comes from, pesticide-free. and, I am repeatedly told, it is fun to watch it grow, and harvest fresh from the garden.

So, if a little later this year you’re in the mood for zucchini, let me know. I’m sure we’ll have wheelbarrowsful.

Blue Sky development Swatter should be ID’d should not go forward The Editor, Re. “Why Blue Sky?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, May 13).

Michael Baumann writes expressing his dismay that Blue Sky is reaching the next stage of their highrise proposal on North Road.

I agree local residents do not appear to matter to our present Coquitlam council. The same goes for council’s approach to oversize single family homes in established areas that stomps on long term residents.

There is room for balance.

We can have some densification with low- to mid-rise construction that will not adversely affect views and available light at street level. Buildings can be terraced back from the street to provide reasonable sized balconies such that some semblance of neighbourhood is maintained.

There is no requirement for such high structures in so many locations of the Lower Mainland, other than a way to maximize return on invest-

The Editor Re. “Coquitlam ‘swatter’ pleads guilty” (The Tri-City News, May 20).

Where is the justice in a system in which a young punk can create so much chaos and

cost in the lives of so many in two different countries and still live in anonymity?

If we aren’t allowed to know his name, how can we even ask his parents where they were while all this went down?

As a youth, I’m sure he will also be protected from the kind of sentence such crimes deserve. We need a better way.

If any council members do look out their windows, they must be looking in a different direction than me. This proposal was already put to a

referendum. It was called an election. I urge everyone concerned to take four minutes out of their day to make their views known by writing or calling city hall. My kingdom for a slate. You bet Coquitlam needed some protection.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others.

Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging.

As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is super superior for conversation.

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located

and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

However, three years ago, as she was opening her studio, Watson was forced to face the illness after it temporarily crippled her body. “It was kind of bad timing,” she said.

Since then, Watson has seen her health steadily decline as she gets older. Many days, she finds it hard just to lift her legs and walk in a straight line.

Often, there is pain and numbness in her hands and legs.

The heat also exacerbates her system.

Thanks to the MS Society of Canada, Watson is on an oral drug that has minimal side effects. Some day, with the advanced research that’s happening, she hopes to say she’s cured of MS — an illness that impairs vision, balance, memory and mobility, has no cause and affects more than 100,000 Canadians.

“People always say that if there’s a will, there’s a way.

And I have that will.”

Coq. will study parking near new Evergreen Line stations Gary MCKEnna The Tri-CiTy News

CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

The alignment for the Fremont connector in Port Coquitlam, showing Burns Road and Prairie Avenue as the main routes leading to Devon Road.

PORT COQUITLAM

Two more meetings on Devon Rd. route Janis WarrEn

The Tri-CiTy News

The final leg of Port Coquitlam’s Fremont connector is shaping up, with two options expected to go out for public input next month.

In March, city council approved the alignment for the first two sections of the Fremont connector: Burns Road to Prairie Avenue.

But it stopped short on making a definite line for Devon Road, which will one day connect with the Partington Creek neighbourhood on Burke Mountain.

That northeastern community in Coquitlam is set to have 15,000 new residents over the next decade or so.

Yesterday, PoCo Coun. Brad West said his transportation solutions and public works committee met Wednesday to discuss the next steps for the

Devon Road routing.

And after the potential alignments are reviewed by the city’s smart growth committee next month, the public will have a chance to voice their opinions; city council is expected to make its decision before the summer break, West said.

The Fremont connector “has been a long-standing issue that needs to be resolved,” West said. “This has been going on for far too long.”

PoCo council’s choice for the Devon route went against the city planning and engineering managers’ wishes as well as the city of Coquitlam’s.

PoCo councillors made clear they wanted as little impact to the residents in the Sun Valley neighbourhood, especially those living on St. Thomas Street, west of the BC Hydro power lines. jwarren@tricitynews.com

With the Evergreen Line coming and the results of the transit plebiscite still weeks away, the city of Coquitlam is embarking on a study that will outline its parking needs around future SkyTrain stations.

Jozsef Dioszeghy, the general manager of engineering, said with so much change

coming to the area, staff need to know the current parking inventory and what is required for future growth.

“We are a growing city,” he said. “We have been developing parking issues all over.”

The results of the transit referendum could have a huge impact on how the city plans for parking around transit stations, he said.

The city is already expecting a 10% increase in bus service

after the Evergreen Line is built with the re-routing of the 97 B-Line. A Yes vote would mean an additional 25% increase in bus capacity, enhancing linkages between far-flung neighbourhoods and future SkyTrain stations, staff said.

However, a No vote would mean that many residents would be forced to drive to their closest Evergreen Line station, a situation staff believe could create pressure on park-

ing capacity in some areas.

“That is the specific area where the outcome of the referendum will have a major baring,” Dioszeghy said. “If there is no money for buses, it will change the parking demand for the future.”

Coquitlam is also looking at working with private development to expand the number of parking stalls near future Evergreen Line stations. @gmckennaTC

In that case, sign me up, some kids might say.

At least that’s the hope of technology education teacher Shane Pope and other Centennial secondary educators who will be teaching summer school mini-courses for students going into Grade 8 through Grade 10.

“These courses are for kids who don’t want to sit in a desk, who want to learn something of value and want to do something hands on,” explained Pope, who will be teaching the non-credit introductory course in aerodynamics and rocketry for three weeks in July.

The skill building courses are expected to appeal to both boys and girls and will take place for three weeks over the summer. In culinary arts, students will learn food safety, knife, baking and food production skills, and, Pope said, students will also learn about how

Shane Pope, technology education teacher at Centennial secondary in Coquitlam, will be teaching rocketry and aerodynamics at the school for three weeks this July during summer school. The school will play host to a number of summer programs for high school students. To find out more, visit www.sumerlearningcoquitlam.ca.

“They’ll get to see food from the ground to the dinner plate,” Pope said.

AROUND THE REGION

Metro campaign targets food waste Residents toss out 100,000 tonnes of food a year Jeff nagel BlaCk Press

Metro Vancouver residents waste a lot of food and the regional district has launched a campaign to prod them to do better.

The Love Food Hate Waste campaign (lovefoodhatewaste. ca) mirrors a successful British initiative credited with cutting food waste 21% over five years.

Metro officials hope to achieve similar gains here by offering similar tips and ideas on how to improve how we buy, use and store food to make it last longer and use it more efficiently.

The regional district estimates 100,000 tonnes per year of food, beverage and dairy products are tossed out that should have been used. Food wasted in an average day in the region consists of 80,000 potatoes, 26,000 bananas, 70,000 cups of milk and 32,000 loaves of bread.

That doesn’t count another 90,000 tonnes per year of unavoidable food waste

whose model goes the furthest.

These rockets can go 700 feet in the air or higher, Pope said.

“One minute they are looking at the rocket and the next minute it disappears,” he added.

Students will also be able to take their projects home. In the case of 3D modelling, students will make a character model in

Blender and then learn how to prep it for 3D printing and animate it using the computer. In metal work, students will learn how to fabricate, form, weld and cast a metal sculpture and in wood work students will learn to make useful products out of wood.

All of these courses are good training for students interested in getting into the trades, Pope pointed out.

Dates and times vary but in the case of the technology education programs (rocketry, 3D animation, metal work, wood work), students can pick two — one running from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m. and another from 10:15 a.m. to noon.

Pope said he hopes the program sparks interest in technology education at the Coquitlam school and gives students enrolling in tech ed a leg up for when school starts again in September.

“I’m hoping that kids come in and get a little hooked,” he said.

• The courses are free but there is a small fee for materials. Registration begins online May 28 at www.summerlearningcoquitlam.ca and you must get an account first. @dstrandbergTC dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Much food waste could be avoided by better meal planning, according to Metro Vancouver. that’s considered inedible, like meat bones, egg shells and pineapple skins, all of which is supposed to go in organic food waste bins.

Metro got 500 households to complete kitchen diaries tracking what they bought, ate and tossed last November.

Nearly half the food disposed was tossed because residents bought too much, didn’t use it in time or either cooked or served too much.

Metro estimates the lack of efficient meal planning behind that adds up to $700 worth of food being wasted per household each year.

Despite the region’s organic waste dumping ban and curbside green bin pickup, 30,000 tonnes of avoidable food waste is estimated to be going into landfills where it generates methane.

TATTOO GRANT

Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody received a $50,000 grant from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation this spring to support its areola tattoo clinic.

It is the only such clinic in the Vancouver area and provides areola restoration for breast cancer reconstruction patients.

The grant from the foundation’s BC/Yukon branch will help more than 250 women.

Since it started in 2012, the clinic has offered areola tattoos to more than 350 women — at no cost to them.

“Breast cancer can be a lengthy and devastating journey from diagnosis to countless surgeries, and for a woman to feel whole again is priceless,” said Elaine Webb, senior director of health promotion and communications at CBCF. “We were excited to learn what Eagle Ridge is doing at this special clinic. With this grant, we can ensure that even more women will receive closure from breast cancer with this final procedure, and begin to heal in mind, body and spirit.”

Charlene Giovannetti-King, executive director of Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, said the donation is heartwarming.

“They are ensuring that women who have survived breast cancer have the right place to go for this service — and that’s Eagle Ridge,” she said. “We truly appreciate like-minded organizations like CBCF who positively impact a healthier tomorrow, in the lives of patients and their families.”

The areola tattoos are done by nurse clinician Sandi Saunier. And demand for the service has been on the uptick as referrals continue to pour in from plastic surgeons across the Lower Mainland.

SPECIAL WEEK

It’s Public Works Week in Port Coquitlam. Last week, Mayor Greg Moore proclaimed May 17 to 23 to recognize the profession and skilled workers.

With the $1-million Queenston Park officially opened this spring, Coquitlam city council now has its sights set on two more neighbourhood parks for Burke Mountain residents.

Recently, city council okayed detailed design plans for Leigh and Victoria parks — at a combined cost of $3 million — though neither has room for on-site parking.

Construction of Leigh Park, located south of Roxton Avenue and directly north of Leigh elementary, is due to start this fall while nearby Victoria Park, on the soon-to-be three-laned Victoria Drive, is set to begin construction in the spring or summer of 2016.

The new 3.7-acre Leigh Park is designed to have a bike skills track to make use of the 10% grade plus an off-leash area for smaller dogs as well as a picnic space and walking trails.

By comparison, Victoria Park is already established

on 3.6 acres and has older playing fields, which will be upgraded with a new super 8 turf soccer field, a bigger grass playing area, a central plaza and playground and a multi-use sports court, for more active users. The bill for Victoria is $1.7 million.

Michelle Hunt, Coquitlam’s parks planning director, told The Tri-City News last month both parks aim to serve the neighbourhood only, with residents walking or cycling to the green spaces.

As for Queenston Park, which drew thousands of families on its opening weekend, Hunt said city staff will monitor the site to see if more amenities are warranted.

Coquitlam is looking to build a few more neighbourhood-only parks on Burke including at Princeton and Mason avenues.

In the past five years, the city has opened Marguerite, Millard Orchard and Galloway parks in the growing northeast Coquitlam community. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Guide to Summer Activities Put some sunshine on your plate Summer is made for being outside—both for you, and your dining table. Why eat your meals inside, when you can enjoy good food sitting in the delicious sunshine?

PICNIC BASKETS TO THE READY At the park or at home, get your baskets and blankets out and rediscover the pleasures of a picnic.

Children love them because they’re so different from their usual mealtimes; just a few sandwiches eaten on the grass will make their day. The challenge?

Successfully cramming everything into the basket!

There’s nothing like a trip to the beach for lots of summer fun.

Hurray! We’re off to the beach Soaring temperatures, sunny skies and a gentle breeze...

Now’s the time to gather up the family or call your friends, because it’s a perfect day for a trip to the beach.

Don’t forget your checklist: parasol, picnic, bathing suits, beach towels, sunscreen, sunglasses and flip flops.

Ready to go?

THE JOYS OF THE BEACH You love lazing in the sun, or in the shade of an umbrella (because the sun always makes you look like a lobster despite all the sunscreen in the world)? Is it your ultimate summer pleasure to work on your tan, relax with a good book or listen to some music?

And what about the pleasures of sitting and chatting while you watch the kids wade and splash in the water?

Are you the type that can never sit still?

There are endless possibilities for stretching

your legs: you’re sure to have a great time playing a game of beach volleyball or Frisbee.

And a quick dip in the water will cool you off after your stunning victory. Will you still have enough energy to go for a swim?

Grab your buckets and shovels, because there’s no way you can spend a day at the beach without building an amazing sand castle. Will you join forces to impress

your public or will you compete against each other?

Whatever your strategy, your ingenuity is going to be put to the test if you don’t want yourmagnificent palace to collapse like a house of cards!

Ah, there’s nothing like a day at the beach for some summer fun. And one thing’s for sure: the big people will enjoy it just as much as the kids.

DINE OUT AT A RESTAURANT PATIO You love eating outside but aren’t so keen on sitting on the ground? No problem.

You can have the best of both worlds: when you go to a restaurant, head straight for the patio when the sun is shining. That way, you’ll be comfortable and able to enjoy the scenery

and gentle breeze. If it’s a bistro on the street, you’ll be able to soak up the neighbourhood’s lively atmosphere during a meal or the time it takes to sip on your favourite summer drink.

A SUMMER KITCHEN You’re a real fan of outdoor dining at home? This summer, treat yourself to the outdoor kitchen of your dreams. With some refrigerated drawers,

storage space for dishes and a beautiful garden set—not to mention the star of the show, the barbecue— you’ll finally be able to eat outside without having to go back and forth between the house and the deck all the time. With a well-equipped outdoor kitchen, eating out will be a pleasure that children and adults won’t be able to do without. Hint: it’s the meat that needs grilling,

Guide to Summer Activities Discover a few bike paths this summer Are you looking for an activity to keep fit or to challenge yourself? To have some fun or relax? To enjoy the good weather? To spend time with your loved ones? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, the solution is simple: hop on your bike or put on your skates.

Lots of fascinating things to see at the Vancouver Public Acquarium

Seven fun outings for the whole family Looking for inspiration for your summer vacation? Here are some suggestions for outings that the whole family will love.

1. Zoos, aquariums, insectariums, etc. There are plenty of places where young and old alike will have fun discovering all kinds of animals from here and around the world.

2. Amusement parks.

Amusement parks and theme parks compete in originality to give you an adrenaline thrill, lure you into exciting games of skill or plunge you into a magical world that will appeal to everyone.

3. Water parks. Water slides, wave pools, water jets, waterfalls and water games: these are all great places for cooling off and having lots of family fun.

4. Festivals, fairs and exhibitions. Music, arts, culture, agriculture, food, humour and sports: there’s something for all tastes and all ages. In addition, many of these activities are free or very affordable.

5. Interpretive centres and museums. Have fun observing frogs, visiting a mine or discovering the skeleton of a dinosaur.

Explore a submarine or see reenactments from a time out of history. You’re sure to find something that will captivate both you and your children.

6. National and provincial parks. What sounds good to you? Camping, swimming, kayaking, hiking, picnicking or mountain biking? There’s no lack of opportunity in these parks.

7. Drive-in theatres. What

better way to end the day than watching a good movie? And the kids will be happy to get special

Biking and inline skating are ideal ways of relaxing on your own or spending quality time with family or friends. Everyone can go along at their own pace, quietly enjoying the scenery. And, with the many available bike paths these days, you can experience a huge

variety of landscapes: the skyscrapers of downtown, farmers’ fields or the peaceful beauty of

woodlands and streams.

You’re sure to find the kind of surroundings that you love.

You prefer to go allout to challenge yourself? Be careful to take into account such factors as wind

direction and the steepness of the terrain in order to pace yourself. It’s easy to do a few kilometres with the wind behind you, but it’s a lot more demanding to do the same trek against the wind. After all, you do have to get back to your starting point. Similarly, if the bike trail is downhill, you will inevitably have to ride back up (unless it’s a loop). In other words, be sure to plan your outing well and pace yourself wisely.

Lastly, don’t forget your water bottle. You’re going to need it, whether you’re leaving for a short outing or for the entire day.

Tri-City resident Philip Warburton spotted a turkey vulture on his walk around DeBoville Slough last weekend. The bird ranges from the southern parts of Canada all the way to the tip of South America and inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, like shrublands, pastures and deserts. The bird is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its food using its keen eyes and sense of smell.

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

- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more revenue for their product. And Government will collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend on programs such as health care, education and other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and create new jobs for our youth.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Micro-Condo Solutions: Making More Of Less

W

hen the bigger-is-better mindset is not in your homebuying financial cards, there are plenty of services to make your small space feel larger. Indeed, many of the companies making these products are enjoying a boom thanks to the trend of building smaller, more affordable condos.

Bosa Properties is one of the groups meeting the challenge head on, having introduced its BosaSPACE concept a year and a half ago at its Alumni Tower development in Surrey’s University District. The idea’s second iteration is currently on display in its RiverSky project in New Westminster.

“We created BosaSPACE because we saw a need in the market,” said Daryl Simpson, Bosa Properties senior vicepresident. “We were feeling frustrated with the compression of suite sizes which was a function of the demand for smaller, more affordable homes. We wanted to give people more functionality so that a 500-squre-foot apartment would feel and perform like an 800-square-foot one.”

Space and Function

Bosa worked on the concept for over a year, meeting with local and European designers, suppliers and architects.

An extendable table can be a modest two-seat counter/desk/prep station or pull out to seat up to eight for dinner.

The “SleepTHEATRE” conceals a sofa or guest bed behind the TV. A pantry system hides a pull-down ironing board and storage along with a wine rack.

“People don’t have to buy as much furniture,” said Simpson. “For younger buyers, that helps with the affordability pressures. We’ve also worked with buyers who have the means to spend more but want to consume less.”

The Hide-a-Bed Solution

A standard purchase for anyone trying to maximize space in their home is a Murphy bed, a space-saving solution that’s been used for more than a cen-

tury. BC Murphy Wall-Bed Ltd. president Hung Nguyen has seen demand increase as more small condos come on the market.

“If you’re living in 350 square feet, a Murphy bed is the only option that works,” said Nguyen, who has started building beds that, when upright, have desks, dining tables or sofas that fold down.

Offsite Storage

There are a plethora of storage facilities in Metro Vancouver, but many people do not require large storage lockers and can find hauling items to and fro difficult. Alluster Storage Valet caters to people looking to store seasonal equipment such as clothing, golf clubs, bikes and skis.

“We offer delivery from door to door, so you can store your items without ever leaving your home,” said Rob Buchanan, CEO of Alluster. “Customers track their stored possessions online, a feature which isn’t normally available with other storage businesses. When they want something back, they get it returned with a few clicks.”

Ditch the Parking Stall

Hand in hand with the move to smaller condo sizes is the trend to build fewer parking stalls in these new developments. That’s opened up opportunities for car-share businesses with BCAA the latest to jump on the wagon.

The association launched Evo Car Share in March, joining Modo, Zipcar and Car2Go in offering urbanites parttime access to vehicles.

“We spent two years talking to Vancouverites about transportation,” said Shan Parmar, director of Evo Car Share, “and we heard that people want a car-sharing option that will allow them to get outdoors and live the BC lifestyle and do what they’d normally do with their car. Evo has over 250 cars available within Vancouver; all are four-door hybrids with lots of cargo space along with two bike racks and ski racks.”

prefer to break tomato varieties into various categories according to their uses. The most popular of all types are the huge sweet slicing tomatoes, commonly grown in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley and in Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula.

Old-fashioned field tomatoes, like beefsteak and stokesdale, were in a class by themselves with fabulous aroma and flavour. They can still be found, but today there are newer varieties with far more disease tolerance,

The

Hayes Team

earlier ripening times, huge easy-to-slice oval shapes and still great flavour.

One of the largest is beefmaster F1, weighing anywhere from 340 to 560 grams and maturing in 70 to 81 days.

It’s also very tolerant of cracking and peeling.

A slightly lighter weight beauty, big beef F1 checks in at only 284 to 340 grams, but it has almost twice the yield.

It’s also very disease resistant.

Beefsteak is still available, but because of its age, it is now classified as an heirloom variety. The best selling large round tomato is better boy F1. Weighing about 227 grams, it is flavourful and very disease resistant. The old, well-known burpee big boy F1 is still a good variety with handsome fruits sizing up to 227 to 255 grams.

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs defeated the Burnaby Lakers 16-7 on Wednesday night at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The team is currently third place in the BCJALL standings with a 5-1 record.

BCJALL

A’s rolling with four-game streak GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs put another notch in the win column Wednesday night, beating up on the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League basement dwellers the Burnaby Lakers at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Cole Shafer opened the scoring, burying a pass from Mike Rybka, while Brett Kujala made it 2-0 five minutes into the game. Two more goals, one from Jean-Luc Chetner and another from Shafer, gave the A’s a 4-1 lead going into the

first intermission.

But Coquitlam took their foot off the gas for the first five minutes of the second period, allowing the Lakers to briefly take a 5-4 lead after scoring four unanswered goals, one which came on the power play.

That sparked the A’s into action, and the home team quickly went on a run of their own, scoring seven unanswered goals to restore the lead, making it 11-5 going into the final frame.

Coquitlam kept up the pressure in the third, piling no five more goals, putting the game out of reach for the

Lakers. When the final buzzer sounded the score was 16-7.

Chase McIntyre led the A’s in scoring with one goal and an seven assists, while Kujala and three goals and four assists and Chetner had four goals and three assists.

Anythony Dale turned away 37 of the 44 shots he faced.

The Adanacs will take on the Delta Islanders on Saturday at the Ladner Leisure Centre, while the Port Coquitlam Saints will take on Nanaimo on Sunday at the PoCo rec centre.

ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs took down the Langley Thunder last week, defeating the visitors 12-7.

When Kyle Enkelmann heads to North Carolina next year and joins up with Pfeiffer University’s Falcons lacrosse team, there will be at least one familiar face in the lineup along with him.

That’s because fellow Port Coquitlam Saints teammate Ty Goff has already signed with the North Carolina school, making the 17-year-old Enkelmann’s decision to join the NCAA club even easier.

“Pfeiffer was already my front runner when Ty committed,” he said. “Ty’s committing helped to seal the deal in my mind… It will make being away from home much easier. We will be roommates for the first year.”

Having a friendly face in North Carolina will help make the transition easier, Enkelmann added, noting that he intends on helping the Falcons win an NCAA title. But first, he hopes to earn a spot on the attack line, which will not be easy at Pfeiffer, which is ranked 13th in the United States.

Enkelmann, who will study business administrations and is planning on pursuing a masters degree, has only spent a small amount of time in North Carolina, but so far he likes what he sees. see ENKELMANN, page 36

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK NATALIE LECLERC PARKER ROSS ScoreCMOFSnC Teeam!

MALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD EURO

In BCSPL action, the Under 18 CMFSC Boys Euro currently in 3rd place in league standings were matched against Vancouver Fusion who currently sits in 2nd place. The game was set at a frantic pace with Fusion winning a penalty 10 minutes before half time and goalkeeper, Parker Ross, came up with a big save to keep the score tied at 0-0 going into the half. CMF scored in the second half to take the lead but would then be under pressure from Fusion. Parker came up with two big saves to keep the lead intact. Fusion would eventually score off a scramble in the box. But Parker would produce another good save right at the end of the game to ensure it finished 1-1 tie. For his strong game in goal, Parker Ross, is the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week.

ON THE WAY TO THE NCAA

Enkelmann sets his sights on NCAA title continued from page 35

IN QUOTES

“It was beautiful,” he said of his visit last September. “Nice, rolling hills and very green and warmer than B.C.” Enkelmann said he didn’t plan on going into the NCAA when he began high school.

However, as his lacrosse game progressed, he started to get the attention of coaches south of the border. Pfeiffer was on his list because he liked the campus, the school’s small class sizes and felt a connection with the coaching staff and the players.

“As my lacrosse game developed, university coaches started taking notice,” he said. “I began hearing from American schools and started to think that I might have a shot.”

Enkelmann will have a lot of experience to draw on when he takes the field next year.

He was a part of the gold medal winning under-19 team at the 2015 field lacrosse provincials in Langley

“I began hearing from American schools and started to think I might have a shot.”

ENKELMANN last February and he said he is hoping to make Team Germany at the upcoming 2016 FIL under-19 men’s world lacrosse championships. That event will be held in Coquitlam next summer.

But this will be the first time Enkelmann has been away from home for a long period of time, something he acknowledges may take a bit to get use to.

“I’m not really nervous,” he said. “Excited would better describe my feelings. I’m anticipating being a little homesick.

It will be a new challenge.”
