KINDNESS HAS KIDS SMILING

Concerns about housing costs and rental prices Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

A massive condo development that would bring 873 units of housing to Burquitlam cleared a major hurdle Monday.

Council voted to give third reading to the project, which consists of three highrise towers and one four-storey rental apartment building.

The development, which would be located at Foster Avenue and North Road, would also have three commercial units and be close to the future Burquitlam SkyTrain station.

“I support this project,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart. “It moves us along in the right direction to try and encourage the density we need around transit lines.”

Council’s decision goes against feedback from some residents at a public hearing two weeks ago.

The Blue Sky development proposed for Foster Avenue and North Road would include three highrise towers.

The majority of people who participated in the input process spoke against the project, with many saying the proposed towers are too tall and the density levels would put increased pressure on local roads.

But several council members noted that two of the four people who spoke in favour of the project at the hearing — Burquitlam Community Association president Don Violette and Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group chair Sandy Burpee — represented large groups of residents. see rental units, page 7

Parents getting word out about burke schools meet News on plans for new schools is expected on June 16

Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Parents concerned about the future of schools on Burke Mountain are leafleting their neighbourhoods in an effort to get a crowd out for an information meeting.

The meeting, planned for Tuesday, June 16 at 7 p.m. at Leigh elementary school, will provide an information update on plans for schools in the area.

School District 43 chair Judy Shirra told The Tri-City News recently she hopes to be able to provide parents with an explanation about school planning and next steps.

But parents who have started a website about the issue, (schoolsforburke.com) hope to get some details about why a school hasn’t been built for a population now standing at about 8,000.

“Residents have been waiting for many years with promises for a school. If we don’t get enough people showing up, this will show that we don’t

‘A great way to make someone happy’ at Pitt

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Some amenities have been built in the new Burke Mountain neighbourhood, including this shopping area, but no new schools as yet. School District 43 hopes to have news on construction of Smiling Creek elementary school soon, possibly in time for the upcoming June 16 information meeting. need or care about schools and we will have to wait longer,” the leaflet states.

Meanwhile, at least one aspect of the new Smiling Creek elementary is going ahead.

While parents wait for an announcement on the planned

school, they are being asked to give their opinion on what community services should go into the building.

Approximately 15% of the new school will be allotted to a Neighbourhood Learning Centre and could include

larger classrooms, enhanced gym facilities, community offices and meeting spaces.

The survey can be found on the School District 43 website, www.sd43.bc.ca.

Students were greeted by smiley faces and positive messages when they arrived at Pitt River middle school Monday.

The Port Coquitlam school was blanketed with posters and cards and no one knows who is behind the Random Acts of Kindness gesture.

Principal Steve Roos says the school culture is positive and he’s not surprised to see the notes.

But several students said the effort to raise the spirit of the school so close to the end of the school year had an amazing effect.

“Its a great way to make someone happy,” Grade 7 student Lauren Jadot told The Tri-City News.

“Also, when we’re learning things, there is a positive energy in the classroom,” said Grade 6 student Lucas Angelozzi.

Rianna Wang, a Grade 8 student, said the positive messages — such as “Smile — Today is Your Day” — makes the “heart feel warm.”

In addition to the putting up smiley face posters and cards at the school, more than 400 members of the Pitt River middle school population handed out 3,000 lollipops and handmade bookmarks adorned with positive messages to members of the community last Thursday.

“It was a phenomenal day for the Pitt River middle school students, staff, and community,” said teacher Kiren Chand.

The fun didn’t end there because when the students returned to school, iced tea and puffed rice squares were waiting for them, donated by Starbucks and Sysco Foods.

The treats were arranged by the anonymous group that also put up the happy face posters on Monday. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

royal Columbian Hospital Inactivity and expansion gets green light obesity issues

in health study

First phase to add mental health beds to hospital Jeff nagel BlaCk Press

A long-promised expansion has been given the green light at Royal Columbian Hospital, the emergency trauma centre for the Fraser Health region.

The redevelopment’s $259-million first phase includes a 75-bed mental health and substance use facility to replace an existing 30-bed unit at the hospital in New Westminster. It will also create the first dedicated geriatric psychiatry unit in Fraser Health, designed for elderly patients suffering from acute depression, anxiety or psychosis.

Also included are a new parkade and energy centre to power the hospital as well as new outpatient clinics for mental health patients transitioning back to the community.

Construction is to begin with work this fall on a new helipad and phase one work will continue from 2016 to

2019. Two subsequent phases would add new acute care beds, a new and larger emergency department, new operating suite and upgrades to existing spaces.

That work and the timeline are to be defined in a separate

business plan in 2016.

More than $9 million for the first phase is coming from the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

According to Fraser Health statistics, 37% of patients at Royal Columbian are trauma

patients who arrive from across the Lower Mainland and B.C. Royal Columbian is also a tertiary care centre for cardiology, cardiac surgery and neurosurgery. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

Too many Port Coquitlam residents are inactive.

Between 20% and 25% of PoCo and Port Moody residents binge drink at least once a month.

And Coquitlam residents drive too far to work, don’t eat enough vegetables and are in front of screens too much, putting them at risk for obesity.

But overall, health in the Tri-Cities is good and many residents have access to a family doctor.

These are some of the findings of a My Health My Community Survey conducted last June and released this week by Fraser Health. ”With 33,000 responses, this is the largest community health survey ever conducted in B.C. We want this rich and granular data to spark community-level dialogue about creating health-promoting environments and reducing health inequities,” Dr. Jat Sandhu,

By diagnosing the health of the region, Fraser Health plans to work with municipalities and stakeholders to figure out ways to improve habits and health outcomes.

Crews with the Coastal Fire Centre are continuing to monitor the area of a small brush fire that broke out Saturday morning near an unused BC Hydro power station on Indian Arm. Spokesperson Marg Drysdale said the 0.2-hectare fire was caused by humans, and crews were called in about 10 a.m. to support the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department.

The Vancouver Police Department marine unit also assisted and, by the end of the day, the fire was out, although firefighters returned Sunday for mop up and do patrols.

Drysdale said crews will continue to patrol the area to make sure there are no hot spots.

The area where the brush fire occurred is out of bounds, according to BC Hydro spokesperson Mora Scott, who added that campfires are not even allowed in the picnic area at nearby Buntzen Lake.

BC Hydro takes seriously its concerns about no open burning or campfire and will be increasing signage and stepping up patrols to let people know, Scott said.

She said the fire didn’t endanger people at Buntzen — less than 10 km from the blaze — but its parking lot was closed early as a precaution so emergency vehicles could have access. She said Hydro typically closes the gates when the parking lot is full and the lot was nearly filled when it was closed around 1 p.m.

The fire danger rating in the coastal area varies depending

MeDiCal Crash CaUse Police say a medical issue may have been a factor in a spectacular accident last week in Port Coquitlam.

On May 26, a black Dodge truck grazed a pedestrian, struck and killed a dog, and hit a tree, a traffic sign and a house before coming to rest on its side in the 1600-block of Westminster Avenue.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung would not give details of the driver’s medical issue due to privacy concerns but said police have ruled out speed, drugs and alcohol as factors in the crash, which occurred at about 9:40 a.m.

The driver suffered serious but non life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital while the pedestrian suffered minor injuries, Chung said.

No charges have been laid.

But a notice went out last week banning all Category 2 open fires in the Coastal Fire Centre, including those less than 2 m high and 3 m wide; small campfires under a half metre in height and width are still allowed with certain conditions. Anyone wishing to light a larger fire has to get a burn registration number.

Hiring People with Developmental Disabilities is Good Business In the Tri-Cities we have an untapped and work-ready talent pool that can provide much value to employers. There is a strong business case for hiring people with developmental disabilities: increased profitability, greater job satisfaction, customer loyalty, higher staff morale, and a diverse and productive workforce.

Indeed, in terms of safety it has been shown that diverse worksites have higher rates of safety. This is what employers are saying about the benefits of hiring people with varying abilities:

“Smithrite Disposal has always believed in community involvement. This year we reached out to the Community Ventures Society and asked them to help us during a busy time. What we discovered was far more rewarding than we had expected. Their workers quickly became part of the Smithrite family. They interacted well with our staff and their productivity and accuracy far exceeded our expectations.”

TRI-CITY FARMERS’ MARKETS

PoCo market kicks off tomorrow – with booze Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

The Port Coquitlam Farmers Market may be celebrating the opening of its seventh season tomorrow (Thursday) but there will be many firsts this year.

To start, 2015 will be the first full year the eastern part of Whyte Street (beside Dairy Queen) will be closed for the market. Manager Kathy Marven of the Haney Farmers Market Society, which runs the PoCo market, said the closure means the number of vendors will double.

Among the new sellers will be Hunger Management, Rocky Point Ice Cream and Vail Farms Grassroots Ltd. Products, which sells grassfed certified organic beef and lamb as well as pasture-raised chicken, turkey and pork from two family farms.

Second, the event tent will expand to include Chef in the Market as well as gardening workshops that will focus on how condo dwellers can grow food and plants on patios.

And finally, there will be booze.

In March, PoCo city council issued a temporary use permit to the society operators to

Right, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore helped to cut the ceremonial carrot-shaped cake at the opening of last year’s Port Coquitlam Farmers Market (above) in Leigh Square Community Arts Village. For tomorrow’s grand opening for the 2015 edition of the PoCo market, Coun. Mike Forrest, the acting mayor, will do the honours. allow packaged liquor sales as well as free alcohol tastings following changes to provincial legislation to allow such things at farmers’ markets.

Township 7 Vineyards and Winery, Earlco Wines and Dragon Mist Distillery (vodka, gin and baijiu) will be pouring small samples from June 4 to Sept. 25.

Marven said although the market at Leigh Square Community Arts Village has

run for each of the past seven summers, “this is going to be the tipping year for us. We really feel that we have made it a wonderful community event that allows people, no matter what income, to come out, buy and socialize.”

Buying local is vital, not only to support Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley farmers and producers but, also, to stop the reliance of produce coming from California, where there is

a severe drought. B.C. strawberries, for example, are out two weeks early and are always a crowd favourite, she said.

Allan Schoenborn, the man who killed his three children during a psychotic episode seven years ago, has been approved for supervised trips outside Colony Farm Forensic Psychiatric Hospital.

The decision of the threemember B.C. Review Board to allow escorted outings was released Friday after a month of deliberations.

“This is the decision my family and I had been dreading,” Schoenborn’s ex-wife Darcie Clarke said in a statement. “The man who murdered my three children — Kaitlynne, Max and Cordon — will be re-entering our community even though the Review Board found him to be a high risk to public safety.”

Schoenborn had been found not criminally responsible in the first-degree murder of his children. He killed them in his ex-wife’s Merritt home in 2008

“He could be in our community at any time without the public’s knowledge because the Review Board does not have the public’s safety as their paramount concern,” Clarke said.

“I live in the Tri-Cities and I will now live in consistent fear that he will move ahead with his threats against me because, as he has said, I am ‘unfinished business.’”

Clarke plans to apply to the courts to have Schoenborn declared a high-risk offender and revoke any ability to have escorted leave.

She’s also urging the provincial government to intervene and review the outcome of the case and the operations of the hospital.

Schoenborn’s 2014 application for escorted community day trips was denied after a hospital psychiatrist said he had difficulty controlling his anger and would be at risk in the community due to his notoriety.

COQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT

Rental units one bone of contention continued from front page

Several councillors who voted for the proposal said they were swayed by the fact that the proponent, Bosa Development subsidiary Blue Sky Properties, included 57 units of guaranteed rental housing, replacing some of the units lost by the new development.

But support for the proposal was not unanimous at the council table.

Coun. Bonita Zarrillo opposed three out of the four staff recommendations, noting that she is concerned about the size of the project.

“I think we are asking the community to accept excessive density,” she said, “excessive density this community has said they don’t want at this time.”

On Tuesday, Zarrillo told The Tri-City News allowing developers to build market rental housing in exchange for higher densities would not solve the affordability problem.

She echoed comments made

by Burpee at the public hearing that rents in the new building — approximately $1,200 per unit or higher — would be out of reach for most low-income families.

Zarrillo said she’s concerned council’s decision on Monday essentially means any market rental in the city, no matter what the cost, is now eligible

COUN. TERRY O’NEILL

COUN. BONITA ZARRILLO

ONNI TOWER PROPOSED FOR NORTH RD. Another high-density project has begun to work its way through Coquitlam city hall. Onni Group is proposing a 28-storey, 218-unit highrise at North Road just north of Austin Avenue. The project will also include commercial units fronting on to North Road. On Monday, council voted unanimously in favour of giving first reading for the required official community plan amendment, which will go to a public hearing later this month. to be labeled “affordable.” This could set a precedent, she added, noting developers could include pricey rental units in their projects in order to leverage more density.

“It has been my concern since the beginning,” she said.

“Affordable housing does not equal market rental.”

But Coun. Terry O’Neill took issue with some of Zarrillo’s comments, saying the best way to bring down the cost of rental

housing is to increase supply.

He added that the developer has been responsible in replacing some of the rental units lost by the new project.

“The creation of more housing is the most responsible thing that we can do to help the affordability issue,” O’Neill said.

The project makes sense, he added, because of its proximity to the future SkyTrain. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

OUR OPINION

Safety not too much to ask W ith three dozen train derailments in Canada each year, according to the Transportation Safety board, it makes sense for city councils across the country to seek more transparency, resources and safety guarantees when it comes to the transportation of dangerous goods.

Lac-Mégantic — where 63 petroleum-filled rail cars derailed, causing a fire and explosions that killed 47 people — may have been a once-in-a lifetime tragedy but it was also a warning.

Canada was built by rail but that doesn’t mean cities should roll over and play dead when it comes to the transportation of dangerous goods. and with so many cities and towns located on rail lines, it is understandable that local authorities, including those in Port Moody and Port Coquitlam, want assurances a similar tragedy won’t happen there.

Port Coquitlam last week took steps to ensure that its residents aren’t at risk and plans to raise the issue of lack of resources and training for rail disasters at the upcoming federation of Canadian Municipalities (fCM) conference in the hopes of having more clout with the federal government.

PoCo wants shippers of hazardous goods to be charged a fee to establish

an independently-run first-response program, which would provide appropriate materials, supplies and resources to provide first response to a rail incident.

This does not seem to be an onerous expectation. Indeed, the marine industry has had a similar safety and emergency program for years.

In 1995, the Canada Shipping act was

CONTACT

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

amended to included tougher restrictions on tankers and barges, and required shippers to participate in setting up a firstresponse program, which today is called the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation. Members pay a fee, and WCMRC is responsible for training, equipment, preparedness and response in the event of a marine spill.

Such a program should be in place for railway shippers.

There is also the festering issue of how little cities know about what is actually being stored in rail yards. General information is offered but the specifics are not known, so if there was a disaster, the fire department wouldn’t know what it is dealing with.

The rail companies have long been good neighbours and good for the economy. but there are some gaps in disaster planning that should be addressed. PoCo’s fCM request is a good first step.

“I miss when Coquitlam was a smaller town...

Used to be so outdoorsy, and was a family neighborhood. Now it’s an over-populated city, with highrises, parks and forests being torn apart and now a SkyTrain to add to the craziness.”

Jennifer, commenting on a tri-city news story on coquitlam’s new guide for tourists

on transit

“SkyTrain carries a higher ridership/km than every other LRT system in Canada or the US. Expanding it is a great choice for proceeding.”

BURKE MOUNTAIN DEVELOPMENT

Burke Mt. missing basic services The Editor, Re. “Info coming on new Burke schools” (The Tri-City News, May 22).

Our family moved to Burke Mountain almost three years ago. Sadly, we soon realized our kids would never go to school here due to delays in school construction.

I hold the city accountable for this problem. The city should be properly managing growth and development of Burke Mountain as a whole, and working with the school board and other agencies.

The current land use designation map (amended 2011)

forming part of the OCP is already out of date, as some designated school sites will not be built on.

Why do we have an OCP if it isn’t followed?

Why should builders keep building without basic services being met?

I find it unbelievable the city would allow hundreds of homes to be built before planning to build any schools. The sad reality is a shovel has not hit the ground, yet 2,000 people have moved into the area and more are coming.

Yes, it’s too late for us and many other families. The deci-

sion makers are probably the same ones who designed and touted Burke Mountain as a “transit-friendly” neighbourhood. Even with the poor bus service available, buses don’t run from Coquitlam Station past 8:40 p.m. Try telling your teenager to come home by that time.

Overall, basic services on Burke Mountain are below average and have been neglected far too long.

I have a message for Mayor Richard Stewart, councillors and city managers: No more excuses, just get it done.

Doug Sutherland, Coquitlam

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

Schools have long been promised on Burke Mountain but residents of the rapidly developing northeast Coquitlam area have yet to see any schools built in their neighbourhoods.

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

Bravo to Moody middle for going medieval The Editor, I am writing to express my appreciation for the staff at Moody middle school, which recently wrapped up a schoolwide, cross-curricular study of the Middle Ages.

Students were given a choice of specific study areas related to the topic (for example, castles and weaponry) and teachers directed students as they researched and then presented their findings on their own inquiry question.

All this learning culminated with a night of sharing when evidence of the students’ learning was displayed throughout the school.

During school time, the students took part in a medieval feast. Each student was assigned a role to play during the feast. The students wore costumes and had duties and obligations to fulfill depending on their assigned role. There was also a production of Robin Hood performed at the school.

I was impressed by how much the students learned about history, how they were encouraged to express their learning and the fun they had while doing it.

My four-year-old son and I happened to be walking on Moody’s field one afternoon about two weeks ago when we passed a student walking home from school, carrying his home-made armour. When I asked him about it, he stopped and told my son and me all

that he had learned about the armour and how it was used.

He then offered my son the opportunity to try it out. It was pretty cool to witness firsthand the excitement of this student.

It is not lost on me how much creativity, organization and work it is for a school’s staff to put together such an indepth study. I sincerely thank them for their successful effort.

DRIVING

Please, just slow down on Barnet The Editor, As a very early morning commuter from Port Coquitlam to downtown Vancouver, I drive the Barnet Highway.

Oops, sorry, the Barnet Speedway.

Guilty, I can be clocked at 85 km/h in the HOV Lane prior to 6 a.m. but it simply amazes me the speed at which others travel — some fly by me at what must be 110 to 120 km/h.

Others ride my bumper while the real “intelligent” ones pass on the right at one of the few merge lanes.

Are these fools in such a hurry?

For God’s sake, slow down. You want to take your life, by all means, do so — just don’t take some innocent traveller with you.

Guide to Summer Activities With summer just around the corner, parents often scratch their heads wondering how to keep their kids busy when school’s out.

Luckily, in the Tri-Cities, there’s plenty of fun for residents and visitors of all ages and recreational levels.

FESTIVALS Big gatherings take place throughout the summer in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, starting with the annual BC Highland Games and Scottish Festival on June 20 at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam Town Centre Park.

On the same day — but on the other end of town — is the fifth annual Daisy Day Festival in the Austin Heights neighbourhood, a street event hosted by the BIA. The annual Golden Spike Days at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody is on from June 26 to 28, with lots of activities for the kids. The Canada Day festivities on July 1 happen in all three cities, with Coquitlam lighting its fireworks over Lafarge Lake in Town Centre Park at 10 p.m. Port Coquitlam has its party from 8 to 11:30 a.m. at Lions Park with a Lions Club pancake breakfast and fishing derby before migrating to Castle Park from noon to dusk. In Port Moody, its celebrations will be at Rocky Point Park. Meanwhile, that park will be the scene for three days of delicious BBQ, free live music, craft breweries and family entertainment during Ribfest, the Rotary Club of Port Moody’s

THIS YEAR!

inaugural rib event in partnership with the city, from July 10 to 12. See the professional ribbers from across North America compete in a cook-off for trophies. Later in the month, head over to Town Centre Park for the All Nations multicultural festival, from July 23 to 25.

SPORTS The Tri-Cities is where the action is this summer when major national and international tournaments light up the screen.

Hockey Night in Canada returns to the Coquitlam Centre mall parking lot for its Play On! Vancouver, from June 27 to 28.

Teams wanting to compete in the 4on4 street hockey tourney must register by noon on June 22. Meanwhile, from July 3 to 5, Coquitlam Minor Softball hosts the U14 “C” girls provincial championship at Mundy Park while the senior players compete in the Little League Baseball Canadian Championships from July 22 to 29. Up at the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club on July 8 is the 20th annual Coquitlam Classic golf tournament while the LPGA tour pros make their way to the Vancouver Golf Club in Austin Heights, from Aug. 17

to 23, for the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open; a total of 156 players will compete for a prize purse of $2.25 million USD. MUSIC/FILM Rocky Point Park is the place to be for tunes this summer with a knock-out lineup for the annual PCT Summer Sunday Concert series, sponsored in part by The Tri-City News. The shows run at 2 p.m. on the performance stage and start with Steelin’ In the Years (July 5) followed by Ten Souljers (July 19), Groove & Tonic (July 26), Coc Jafro (Aug. 2), Famous Players Band (Aug. 9), R&B Allstars (Aug. 16), Brickhouse (Aug. 23) and the So Tight Band (Aug. 30). On Monday nights, head over to the Gallery Bistro in Moody Centre for jazz jam sessions led by Gord Hembruff and Craig Townsend. In Port Coquitlam, the city hoists its 26’ silver screen for another summer for its Cinema Under the Stars series. Maleficent will be shown July 10 at 9 p.m. in Sun Valley Park, Big Hero 6 on July 24 at 9 p.m. at Sun Valley Park, Tomorrowland on Aug. 7 at Gates Park at 8:45 p.m. and the Avengers Age of Ultron at 8:45 p.m. at Gates Park.

As well, school-aged kids can join the summer reading clubs at the Tri-City libraries.

results — no matter what happened.

She has plenty of friends in the music industry who also want to succeed, she thought.

But she also didn’t want the public humiliation.

The year before, Laing had applied for the contest and, while at the live announcement, had “a couple too many drinks” and got upset when her name wasn’t called. “I didn’t make a scene. I left. I was fine later,” she recalled.

This year, however, her method worked.

The Tri-CiTy News

Chelsea Laing couldn’t bear to be there.

Last Wednesday, when the Vancouver radio station 102.7 The Peak and Music BC announced on air the Top 12 finalists for the Peak Performance Project, the Port Coquitlam resident stayed at home, ordered a pizza and chilled with a glass a wine.

She made a conscious effort to pull herself away from the hype and be happy with the

Hers was the second name announced at the Fortune Sound Club — and her phone immediately lit up with congratulatory messages from well-wishers. “When I found out, my jaw dropped.

I thought, ‘How am I here?’

There are so many top level bands and with tons of experience.”

Laing, who works under the band name Chersea, is not only the sole Tri-City musician on the coveted Peak roster, she’s also the only woman.

On July 11, Chersea and the

other finalists — Little India (Langley); Smash Boom Pow (Vancouver); Jesse Roper (Victoria); Find the Others (Bowen Island); Mindil Beach (Vancouver); Bed of Stars (Abbotsford); Mike Edel (Victoria); Windmills (Vernon); JP Maurice (Victoria); Joy District (Comox Valley); and Van Damsel (Kamloops) — will formally launch their campaigns with live performances at the fourth annual Khatsahlano Street Party. see CHERSEA, page 17

HURRY!

Eli Bennett grew up in a house full of music.

But it was the gold shine of his dad’s alto saxophone he played in high school that caught the 11-year-old boy’s eye.

It was just laying there, Bennett remembered, so he picked it up and started to play.

It suited him just fine and he began to take lessons.

About a year on, Bennett heard his dad play a recording of the great American jazz saxophonist and composer Michael Brecker. It caught his ear. “I said, ‘Who’s that guy?’I want to sound exactly like him,’” he told his father, Darryl Bennett, the drummer for the Powder Blues.

The young Bennett practised regularly, showing off the instrument’s versatility with funk, pop and blues beats. He gained a reputation after his first professional gig at the age of 13 and later played at the

Yale with his dad and with top acts such as Oscar Peterson and Nikki Yanofsky.

Along the way Bennett studied their style, trying to find out what made them tick.

“There are so many artists and, to stand out, you have to do something different,” he said.

Bennett believes he’s captured that uniqueness in his debut album Breakthrough.

Released last October, the work contains original instrumental tracks plus a John Coltrane cover. It is up for a Western Canadian Music Award in September for best jazz recording of the year.

And on Friday, he starts a series of solo shows in Vancouver before launching the Breakthrough tour with his quartet on June 20 at the Italian Cultural Centre, during the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. The quartet will also stop in Calgary, Medicine Hat, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal for their jazz fests before wrapping up July 12 in London.

On tour, they will play songs

from Breakthrough “but there’s a lot of room to have fun, too, and really explore and improv,” the 26-year-old said. “It keeps it interesting. There’s probably not going to be a single show that’s the same.”

A PoCo resident since 2007 and a Conn-Selmer endorsing artist, Bennett said his fulltime job is composing for TV and film — sometimes with his dad. He has received Leo award nominations for his scores with Remedy (animation), Reset (short drama), Escape Act (short drama) and Nash (feature documentary).

Last year, they worked on Take Back Your Power, a documentary about smart metres that won Documentary of the Year at the Leos. The duo also composed for The Exhibition, which won an International Emmy Award last fall for best arts programming; the film was about the backlash an artist received while trying to mount a largescale painting exhibition of the victims of Port Coquitlam serial murder Robert Pickton.

COASTAL SOUND

Choral songs from Maritimes, BC coasts

PEAK CONTEST

Janis Warren

continued from page 16

The Tri-CiTy News

The children’s choir with the Coquitlam-based Coastal Sound Music Academy (CSMA) understood for the first time what it meant to carry the torch.

Choir director Diana Clark said she led the 28-member ensemble to Nova Scotia last month for a SEVEC (Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada) exchange; the month prior, young singers from that province had travelled to the TriCities to learn about B.C. and its regional songs.

While in the Maritimes, Clark said her singers sang in Lunenburg at St. John’s Anglican Church, a place of worship since 1753 that was rebuilt by wooden boat builders in 2010 following a fire.

The choir also sang The Bluenose song next to the Bluenose schooner as well as at Grand Pré, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Annapolis Valley that was the centre of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755, when they were deported. “It was a very moving and very profound experience,” said Clark, who last week was awarded the 2015

Diana clarK

SEVEC Ambassador Award.

“They were told as a choir, they had a responsibility to carry history through folk song and that it’s really important to share that sense of who we are and where we come from…. It really opened their eyes and they really got what it meant.”

Among the Acadian deportation hymns that the CSMA sung at Grand Pré was Tout Passe.

On Sunday, the choir will repeat its performance at its year-end show at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way) at 7 p.m.

The children’s choir, along with four other CSMA choirs (but not the youth choir), will also sing The Bluenose, present

an Acadian folk song medley and lead an audience singalong in the B.C. shanty Where the Coho Flash Silver.

Clark, who is also the musical director at Blakeburn elementary school in Port Coquitlam and the CSMA artistic director, said finale will be a nice wrap-up of their coastto-coast season. “You can really learn a lot about Canadian history through the lens of choral music,” she said, “and especially about the east coast.

They have such a rich history that we just don’t have here.”

• Tickets at $20/$15/$10 for Coastal Sound Music: From Sea to Sea on June 7 are via 604-927-6555. The show is a co-presentation with ECC.

Chersea named a Top 12 finalist And, later in the summer, they’ll converge in Princeton for a boot camp.

The prizes are good for the winners: $102,700 for first place, and $75,000 for second and $50,000 for third spots.

Still, all the Top 12 bands get a $5,000 base camp boost to help with career development.

Now in its seventh year, the Peak Performance Project has seen such bands as The Matinee (of Coquitlam), We Are the City, Kyprios, Current Swell, Dear Rouge and Said the Whale break out from emerging to professional status.

Laing, a Minnekhada middle alumni who graduated at North Burnaby secondary (she transferred for the hockey academy), said she’s got a lot to accomplish over the next few months including releasing a new EP or LP and flying to Toronto to pose for a nude calendar.

She also plans to shoot some videos with kids from the downtown eastside

Laing said she’s also getting lots of support from her co-workers at Tom Lee Music in Coquitlam.

After all, music has become her passion. She plays trumpet, clarinet, bass, guitar, drums, piano and banjo and combines her sounds into what she describes as an “electronic tribal pop.”

“If you think Imogen Heap, Grimes or Enya, those are pretty good comparisons,” she said.

Excited campers leave from the Rocky Point dock, filled with anticipation and dreams of new adventures and new friendships waiting for them at the beautiful camp which is located on Indian Arm. The Club has supported the rebuilding efforts at the Mossom Creek Hatchery. Club member Gaetan Royer designed the new building and Club member’s donated $10,000.00, which was matched with a further $9,1000.00 USD Grant from Rotary International District 5050.

AAA HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

Best is the best at soccer provincials Squad downed Fleetwood in finals Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

The Dr. Charles Best secondary Blue Devils are high school girls’ soccer AAA provincial champions after defeating Fleetwood in a stunning overtime victory.

With things knotted at one goal each, coach Alfonso Napoletano told his players to keep attacking in extra time of the championship bout, which

took place at the University of Victoria on Saturday.

“We were hoping to score in overtime to avoid the penalty kicks, which as everyone knows, is like a lottery,” he said.

Fortunately for the Blue Devils, that is exactly what happened, when Andrea Perrotta bent the ball around a wall of Fleetwood players in a free kick in overtime, netting the goal from one yard outside the penalty box.

“It was a world class goal,” said Napoletano of the game winner.

The Blue Devils managed

to hold off a strong Fleetwood attack for the remainder of the game, with every Charles Best player excitedly standing on the sidelines until the final whistle blew. Earlier in the game, Best opened the scoring when striker Kathryn Harvey beat three players on her way into the box, where she buried a fabulous shot in the far corner 15 minutes into the match.

But Fleetwood bounced back with a goal in the second half that tied things up, before Perotta’s overtime heroics.

The Port Coquitlam Saints picked up their third win of the season, taking down the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League basement dwellers the Burnaby Lakers last Friday at home.

However, despite Burnaby’s struggle to put notches in the win column, the Lakers did not go down without a fight, with the visitors keeping things close for most of the game.

The Saints got on the board first with a goal from

Matt Symes, before surrounding a pair of markers to Burnaby, who briefly held a 2-1 lead.

However, Symes’s second of the night sparked his club, which saw goals from Tanner Rennich, three from Greg Lunde and two from Gordie Phillips.

When the clock ran out, the Saints were 11-9.

The team will now prepare for a Tri-City rivalry match this Friday against the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs in Port Coquitlam. @gmckennaTC sports@tricitynews.com

The championship win is the first time that a girls team at Best has won a provincial championship. Napoletano coached the boys soccer squad, which won the title in 2009, and said that he is proud of the girls team for the history they have made with the school.

“They demonstrated so much desire and determination to compete hard so they can achieve their goal to become provincial champions,” he said.

Best was undefeated on their way to the finals.

The club played Argyle secondary to a draw in Game 1, before defeating Kelowna 4-0 in the second match of the tournament.

Best then defeated Reynolds secondary 1-0 before entering the playoff portion of the tournament.

As the pool winner, the Coquitlam team faced off against Elgin Park in the semifinals, downing the Surrey club 2-1. That set the stage for the championship game against Fleetwood. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
