E-cigarettes are growing in popularity but they won’t be allowed in Coquitlam civic facilities.

COQUITLAM

Signs of the times: E-cigs not welcome Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Anyone looking to light up an e-cigarette or a personal vaporizer in a civic building or outdoor pool area in Coquitlam will be asked to take it outside.

Signs are expected to go up in the coming weeks prohibiting the devices, which simulate smoking but, unlike traditional cigarettes, only emit vapours, not smoke.

The popularity of the products has outpaced government regulation and rules about where a person can “vape” are still unclear.

But Coquitlam Coun.

Bonita Zarrillo put forward a motion, which was unanimously supported by council, prohibiting the use of the devices in civic buildings and outdoor pools. She said the issue was first brought to her attention when she received a letter from a resident who saw someone using an ecigarette in the changing room at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

“I would like to see what we can do with regard to limiting vaping, specifically in recreation facilities,” she said. “This is something that shouldn’t be going on at the pool.”

Plenty of people with plenty to say on the future of the Riverview Hospital grounds have waited a long time to make themselves heard.

On Wednesday in Coquitlam, they got their chance at a BC

Housing open house.

And attendees didn’t hold back on their views for what they want and don’t want for the historic, provincial property.

For more than 90 minutes at the Executive Plaza Hotel, they lined up before a microphone to speak passionately about the need to return the 102-year-old site as a mental health campus.

Many of them had personal stories to share.

COMMUNITY & SCHOOLS IN TRI-CITIES

Feeding students, fuelling learners Optimists, others are providing hot breakfasts for kids Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 is serving breakfast to students in the morning thanks to community efforts and local fundraising.

But feeding kids isn’t just about filling hungry stomachs, says the district’s community connections co-ordinator who is behind the surge in support for meal programs.

Jeff Stromgren has spent three years identifying the need for food programs and then encouraging groups such as the Coquitlam Optimist Club and the Coquitlam Firefighters Charitable Society to serve pancakes, cereal and fruit in local schools. He said eating morning meals not only gives kids energy and focus for learning but, also, a place to socialize and connect with others.

“Food programs aren’t necessarily about feeding kids,” Stromgren said, “it could be about building connections for them. At the same time, we’ve got to prepare kids for learning.”

Miller Park elementary school, where the Coquitlam Optimist Club has been providing a breakfast program since October, is a case in point. On a cool, cloudy morning, one of the school’s hallways is transformed into a homey kitchen with up to a dozen students seated around a table covered in a blue checked tablecloth.

The smell of pancakes cooking on a griddle is strong, and the students happily eat their

stacks, which are accompanied by sausages and orange and watermelon slices.

“They love anything to do with bacon and sausage,” said Hal Griffin, who with fellow Optimists Peter Smith and Robert Henry, is cooking for the kids.

Some kids chat while others eat quietly, and when Griffin and principal Lisa Rinke sit down with them, it’s like one big happy family.

“I love the fact that we’ve got

some seniors interacting with our kids. Many [students] are immigrants and don’t have grandparents here. It’s another opportunity to have an adult interacting with the children in a powerful way,” said Rinke, who noted the Optimists not only cook and serve the food two mornings a week, but shop and pay for it as well.

The Optimists say providing the food is a small part of their commitment to the community while seeing the children grow

and become more confident each week is the payoff.

“For me, it’s volunteer experience for the work I want to get into,” explained Henry, who wants to be come a social worker or child and youth worker, and said chatting with the kids and hearing them talk brings him back to when he was their age.

In all, about 17 breakfast programs are operating in SD43, paid for by donations from businesses and chari-

table organizations such as the Breakfast Club of Canada or the Springbank Corporation, which is building homes in Burquitlam. Some schools might not have formal a breakfast program but buy snacks and dole them out as needed.

Stromgren said feeding children is not a school’s job but making sure students are ready to learn is a big responsibility, and one well recognized by principals, counsellors, teachers and youth workers who work with him and one another to make sure kids are fed and ready to learn.

“You go to a youth worker’s office, you might see a toaster,” Stromgren said.

At Rochester elementary, it’s the Coquitlam firefighters who are doing the fundraising to provide a breakfast program for the school. Through their recent Vintage Vegas Bash, the firefighters collected cash to pay for food and they’ve also pro-

vided an oven for cooking and did some minor renovations at the school to store the food.

“These programs are born in the community and we address them from the resources in the community,” Stromgren said, noting that one of the challenges is finding space and equipment to feed kids properly because “schools are not restaurants.”

But when the community comes together to provide muscle, time, energy and resources — plus sausages and bacon — a lot can be accomplished, and schools become a welcoming place to be and learn.

• The Coquitlam Optimists are looking for volunteers to help with the Miller Park breakfast program when it starts again in the fall. Criminal record checks and a time commitment are required. Email halgriffin@shaw. ca if you are interested. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

TRI-CITY STUDENTS IN NEED

Youth workers hired back to deal with great need Families’ struggles can translate into children’s troubles Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

The latest Community Link report from School District 43 shows a community in transition, with struggling families facing numerous challenges.

The report comes as the district fills four youth worker positions that were cut last year to balance the budget.

Presented at last week’s board of education meeting, the Community Link report showed that cuts to youth worker jobs at elementary and middle schools resulted in 22% fewer students served — 2,874 in 2014 compared to 3,709 in 2013 — and higher case loads.

The figures substantiate

claims made by youth workers who presented passionate pleas at budget talks in April for more staff to handle growing and more complex case loads and a recent McCreary Adolescent Health Survey that showed increasing numbers of students, especially girls, considering suicide.

SD43 assistant superintendent Julie Pearce said the district was in a position this spring to hire back the four youth worker positions and has in-

stalled them at elementary and middle schools that needed them. Now, 10 elementary schools have half-time youth workers, Pearce said, while all middle and secondary schools have full-time youth workers, except for Como Lake middle, which has a part-time staffer.

But the Community Link report, written to show how $1.4 million in funding targeted to vulnerable students is spent, shows much work needs to be

done to support students.

Using social service statistics and other data, the report suggests vulnerable students could make up as much as 25% of the student population, and even homeless youth have been identified as going to school in the district — 31 in 2014, compared to 21 in 2013.

Pearce said it’s not a surprise that some families are struggling and it’s not always poverty that is the issue.

“I have often spoken about the ‘working poor’ — that is, families struggling from paycheque to paycheque, making choices around food and afterschool programs or just paying the utility bill.”

Among the issues local families face, Pearce said, are food insecurity, lack of adequate housing, health, mental illness and addiction.

COQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT

councillors say cash not a factor in votes Blue Sky one of several developers to give pols cash

affordable real estate, a belief he said he has held long before receiving $750 from Blue Sky and $750 from Bosa, Blue Sky’s parent company, out of the $24,811 he raised for his re-election campaign.

Still, several councillors acknowledged that because of the donations from the developer, an appearance of bias could exist.

Coun. Chris Wilson, who received $1,500 from the company out of a total of $36,759 raised for his campaign, said the province needs to make changes to civic election finance regulations. He said he would like to see spending and contribution caps that would

The Tri-CiTy News

The developer behind a huge condo project in Burquitlam contributed $12,500 to seven council members in last fall’s civic election campaign.

But Coquitlam councillors who spoke to The Tri-City News this week said the donations did not sway how they voted on the proposal, and the money amounted to a fraction of what each collected in campaign contributions.

Blue Sky Properties is planning an 873-unit condo development that would include three highrise towers and a mid-rise rental building. The high-density project, which will be located at North Road and Foster Avenue near the future Burquitlam Evergreen Line station, is expected to pass fourth and final reading next week.

“No donation ever influenced my decision and never has,” said Coun. Mae Reid, who received $1,500 from Blue Sky out of a total of $30,000 in contributions she raised for her reelection effort. “I did not meet with the developer before the public hearing. I gather my own unbiased information from my

“No donation ever influenced my decision and never has...

help limit conflicts of interest.

“I’m very concerned about the appearance of conflict,” he said. “I really hope the province brings in municipal campaign financing [and] spending limits.”

Mayor Richard Stewart received the largest campaign contribution from Blue Sky Properties, which donated $5,000 to his re-election effort out of a total of $71,220 raised.

Stewart did not respond to questions from The Tri-City News by deadline.

Two other council members also received donations from Blue Sky. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo, who voted against the Burquitlam

condo project, was given $1,000 by the company out of a total of $38,041 she raised during last fall’s election campaign. Coun.

Brent Asmundson also received $1,500 from Blue Sky out of the $31,636 he raised, but was not present for the passing of third reading and therefore did not cast a vote in the decision.

Of the more than $312,000 raised by the nine candidates elected to Coquitlam city council last November, close to $169,000 (54%) came from the real estate development industry.

Fourth and final reading on the project is expected to pass on Monday. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

THE FUTURE OF RIVERVIEW

R’view closure ‘horrendously executed’ continued from front page

Several vented their frustrations, as well, angry at the neglect of Riverview’s aging buildings, the shift to deinstitutionalized care for mental health patients — without the adequate support programs and services — and the worry about whether the site’s world-class collection of trees would survive.

A few even voiced anger at the panel of experts gathered

by BC Housing to talk about the revisioning process, which started in February 2014.

The panel warned there will have to be trade-offs to achieve the break-even mandate set by BC Housing.

And because of the constraints of the 244 acres — that is, to build within the existing footprint — there will be economic challenges for land use as well.

Panelist Tsur Somerville, an associate professor and director of the UBC Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate, and holder of the Real Estate Foundation Professorship in real estate finance at the Sauder School of Business at UBC, laid out the hard numbers.

Just to restore East Lawn, a 361,000 sq. ft. structure built in the 1930s that’s listed in very poor condition, would cost at least $25 million, Somerville said.

“It was horrendously executed,” he said. “[The patients] were essentially discharged to homelessness… It’s a black period in psychiatry and mental health.”

Still, while some people at the forum said they were open to the idea of having up to 25% of Riverview developed, there was loud applause when members of the Riverview Horticulture Centre Society spoke against market housing.

Mass development would likely ruin the site’s old tree root system and water table, warned Elaine Golds, a member of the city’s Riverview Lands advisory committee and the Green Scene columnist for The Tri-City News.

Meanwhile, BC Housing vice president Michael Flanagan said his agency is now working on the final draft vision for Riverview, to be unveiled this fall; a fifth open house is expected.

JANIS WARREN/thE tRI-cIty NEWS

Members of a panel assembled by BC Housing listen as Jane Shoemaker spoke about the future of Riverview at a forum Wednesday.

To recover these costs in terms market housing prospects, that would equal, today, 80 single-family homes at $885,000 each, 450 townhomes at $475,000 apiece or 10 to 12 four-storey buildings with 500plus condos at $320,000 each.

“We all have a vision of the Riverview lands,” Somerville told the 300 people at Wednesday’s session, “but many of those require an injection of capital… Some amount of development is going to have to happen.”

Somerville said the breakeven policy will likely be determined by Premier Christy Clark. “It’s much more of a political issue than a pure economic one,” he said.

All four members of the panel — which also included clinical psychologist Dr. Julian Somers, Darrell Burnham (CEO of the Coast Foundation Society) and Brent Toderian (former chief planner for the city of Vancouver) — agreed on the opportunity to re-shape Riverview.

But it will take careful planning, Toderian said.

“If we want to advance, we have to have that honest conversation,” he said. “The status quo [at Riverview] is a form of failure.”

Dr. Somers said he envisions an “intentionally designed” place where people with mental health challenges — an estimated one in five Canadians — could be accommodated to live “along with everyone else” and be offered a series of intensities of care and support. They

would “blend in a very visible institution set in an invisible community.”

Burnham said most mental health patients live in abject poverty and a “whole-person approach” is needed for their recovery, which includes a choice of housing, a job to stay active and wellness treatment to address active or past substance abuse, for example.

Asked about the provincial government’s decision to close Riverview in its 100th year, Somers was blunt.

trustees vote to spend surplus over three years Diane StranDberg

MORE ONLINE Debate over holdback funds from the province: please see tricitynews.com

Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 trustees want teachers and other groups to have some say in how a $2.5-million surplus is spent.

And they aren’t comfortable putting an additional $500,000 contingency fund into the superintendent’s hands for spending on classroom organization in September without more debate.

That’s the outcome of a special board of education meeting held Tuesday to discuss the surplus. The meeting was marred by confusion over numbers, disagreements over what constitutes a surplus and uncertainty over motions.

In the end, the board agreed to divide the $2.5 million surplus expected at the end of this school year between 2015/’16 and two following years, at $800,000 a year.

But the Tri-Cities’ trustees were unable to agree on what the money should be used for and chose not to vote on using the contingency fund, even though they were told by staff that money was desperately needed to deal with class size and composition issues in September, when student enrolment will be confirmed.

Superintendent Patricia Gartland warned that organizing classes in September would be “paralyzed� without extra funding in reserve for education assistants and teachers for extra classes required to accommodate students moving in and out of the district and between schools.

The concern about how to spend the contingency is a sensitive topic for trustees, who reversed a decision made in April to spend some of it on speech and language pathologists and psychologists to deal with waiting lists.

But on Tuesday, classroom organization was the biggest concern and trustees were told that a suggestion made last week that some money

School District 43 secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari and superintendent Patricia Gartland and board chair Judy Shirra discuss a $2.5-million anticipated budget surplus for the end of this school at Tuesday’s board of education meeting.

“The budget wasn’t wrong. It’s just one cent of every dollar wasn’t spent.�

SD43 secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari be spent on reducing waiting lists for psycho-educational assessments would have to wait until classes are organized in September. If any funds are available, they could be used then.

Finance staff started off the meeting with an analysis of the district’s third-quarter financial situation and predicted a $2.5-million “unrestricted surplus,� which comes from a variety of sources, including higher than expected international education student enrolment, lower utility costs, extra money from the province when spring enrolment was confirmed and investment income.

Secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari further added that the sum, equivalent to between 1% and 1.5% of the total $275-million budget, is a good margin, adding, “The budget wasn’t wrong. It’s just one cent of every dollar wasn’t spent.�

But trustees weren’t con-

vinced about the best way to spend the money and how much the surplus is. Port Moody Trustee Keith Watkins said the surplus is actually $11 million and was in part created by overly-ambitious cuts made to the budget last year and higher than forecasted international education fees this year.

Ferrari said Watkins’ numbers didn’t match the district’s trend analysis and the differences were not only in scope but in a misunderstanding of what a surplus is because the district isn’t free to spend money, such as $2 million in school allocations not spent because schools have plans to use it, and can’t spend extra international education revenue until foreign students are in classes in September. “That’s not our funds to use for operations,� Ferrari said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Use of e-cigarettes will also be addressed in a review of the city of Port Coquitlam’s smoking bylaw, expected to go before council this fall.

COQUITLAM

PoCo also to look at e-cigs continued from front page

But aside from putting up signs and asking people to vape outside of civic buildings, there is little the city can do when it comes to enforcement.

Raul Allueva, the general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said there is no legal framework to implement fines and people could challenge the city’s rules.

“Many of the people that do these kinds of things know their rights and they bring that to our attention,” he said. He later added, “We always want to make sure that we are not straying into an area of law that could be challenged.”

But the city does have rights as the property owner and Allueva told The Tri-City News the signs will be installed in the

next few weeks, and staff will monitor compliance levels and report back to council in the future.

Council considered the possibility of putting up signs in public parks but decided to wait and see how the initiatives worked at outdoor pools and civic buildings before adding more restrictions.

The city of Port Coquitlam is currently reviewing its smoking bylaw, which dates back to 2002. PoCo communications manager Pardeep Purewal said e-cigarettes and personal vaporizers will be discussed in a report to council, which is expected in the fall.

The city of Port Moody is not currently considering a ban on e-cigarettes.

The intent of Bylaw 4564, 2015 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject properties outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4564, 2015 from RS-2 One-Family Suburban Residential to RS-7 Small Village Single Family Residential and RTM-1 Street-Oriented Village Home Residential.

If approved, the RTM-1 zone would facilitate the development of four (4) street-oriented village home lots fronting Queenston Avenue and the RS-7 zone would facilitate the development of nine (9) single-family lots and one (1) two-family residential lot.

worker injured by a faulty tool The Tri-CiTy News

A worker on the Pinetree Way enhancement project was injured Wednesday afternoon while working on an underground pipe.

Mark Zaborniak, Coquitlam’s manager of transportation and design, said the worker is an employee of Wilco Civil Inc., a company that has been contracted for the first phase of construction.

“The work they were doing is related to work on a drainage pipe approximately 2 m below the surface,” Zaborniak said.

The worker was using a grinder that malfunctioned, causing the blade to break apart and injuring the worker. Zaborniak did not know how seriously the worker was injured.

WorkSafe BC spokesperson Trish Knight Chernecki

said preliminary reports indicated a power tool exploded and the worker fell down a seven-foot hole.

“We are, of course, investigating,” she said, with an inspection report expected in the next couple of weeks.

Privacy regulations prevent any disclosure of the worker’s injuries, Knight Chernecki added.

Wilco Civil was awarded the contract in April for Pinetree Way enhancement projects between Lincoln Avenue and Barnet Highway, including removing and transplanting median trees, removing the west-side curb and sidewalk and drainage works.

The work is expected to wrap up in August and is part of improvements being done around the Evergreen Line, which is set to open in fall of 2016. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

M

any families are struggling with the necessity of placing their elderly loved ones in a care facility and now they have information to help them make informed decisions.

This week, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) released a report on the quality of life, safety and general health of residents in a thousand facilities, including several in the Tri-Cities, and while the data is mostly for health care operators, many families might find the information useful. for example, the study might show how often restraints are used, over-use of medication or, on a more positive note, if patients actually improved their physical functioning while in the care facility.

Placing you mom or dad, a beloved uncle or even a frail sibling in a care home is a difficult decision and any bit of information that can make the experience less stressful can only be a good thing.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? VoTe aT tricitynews.com/opinion/poll

t’s the scandal the b.C. government just can’t shake off.

Three years out and the public outrage over the 2012 health ministry firings shows no signs of abating — and it may be intensifying over recent disclosures that the government misled the public on the RCMP investigation that never was.

It can be a mystery how governments make such decisions and prepare for the accompanying fallout that can arise. Who calls the shots? What’s the chain of command?

When it comes to the health ministry firings, five names spring to mind but former health minister Margaret Macdiarmid isn’t one of them.

She pulled the trigger and takes the rap for it but, sworn in as health minister only the day before, it’s doubtful she was involved in the process. at that point, her knowledge would be limited to briefing notes and what might have been said around the cabinet table. finance Minister Mike de Jong was health minister from March 2011 until September 4, 2012.

RIVERVIEW’S FUTURE

Riverview belongs to the people of B.C. The Editor, Re. “A vision for the Riverview Hospital lands” (Green Scene, The Tri-City News, June 5).

The Riverview property is big, beautiful and so very tempting to cover with huge, expensive housing as well as tiny cramped townhouses and condos. It is a developer’s dream property.

And, oh, the profits it will bring.

If you have ever walked the Riverview grounds, you will know the feeling of peace, tranquility and restoration that envelops the land. You will know immediately that it is a special place with special healing powers that reach deep. It feels safe — not a place to be damaged by the hustle and jive of everyday living but to be preserved for those with special needs.

After reading Elaine Golds’ column, it becomes obvious to me that we, the people, overwhelmingly support returning the lands to acute and long-term mental health care services. It is also obvious that there are those who are anxious to rid themselves of any potential responsibility, financial and otherwise, for short-term profit and gain.

Questions constantly arise about how to design the land to preserve the trees and the cost of restoring the buildings and infrastructure.

Let’s look at how that might be accomplished with a minimum of dollars and a maximum of benefit.

By encouraging a collaborative effort between colleges, universities and technical institutes many students could learn, promote and create a lasting legacy for the benefit of all to come. Let’s send an open invitation to students of architecture to invite (or challenge, if you will) them to look at existing designs and put forward their restoration designs.

How about involving trade and technical colleges to look at structure, electrical, plumbing, building construction and

The Riverview Hospital grounds are home to thousands of trees and a number of buildings with heritage value. landscape? Could these same students perform much of the work in the way of practicum or work experience towards their degrees/diplomas? Teachers should jump at this opportunity to have their schools/students involved in a project of this value and magnitude.

Think of the possibilities, opportunities and outcomes. All would gain valuable knowledge and experience working with the specific requirements of a multifaceted medical facility, preserving heritage and ensuring the future of perhaps a world-class mental health facility.

When finished, the renewed facility could provide schooling, internships and practicum experience for psychiatric medicine. Maintenance of the facility could provide hands-on experience for those learning trades such as plumbing, electrical, building services workers, landscapers and arborists, to name a few.

And, yes, we could have a coffee shop and eatery to invite the public to recognize and support the ongoing work of all of these good people; and to enjoy the serenity of the naturally preserved surroundings that they have helped to create by voicing their opinion in favour of saving the lands.

Do I make this sound like a simple solution? It’s not, but it is

most certainly worth it.

Riverview belongs to the people of British Columbia and should remain so. It should be developed in accordance with the wishes of the public —the 96% of those who voted have expressed their desire to return Riverview for use as acute and long term mental health care services. Riverview has a special calling to be that place.

AMENITIES FIRST IN BQ

For more than four decades, Coquitlam’s councils have commissioned reports and studies without acting on these recommendations.

The past and present needs of west Coquitlam are well documented. To create a livable community, people need green spaces and amenities.

Without these the road is paved for a slum.

Burquitlam/Oakdale deserve the same considerations as Coquitlam Centre and Burke Mountain.

PORT MOODY

Bike paths vs. HOV in TransPort Moody SaraH Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody council has a handful of options to create a bike path connecting the Moody Street overpass pathway to the Trans Canada Trail near Barnet Highway but should one of them be turning Clarke Street’s HOV lane into a bike path?

It’s a question the city and its residents will grapple with as part of the recently launched Master Transportation Plan (MTP) process, which will include public consultation under the TransPort Moody banner.

Bike paths and regional cycling connections will be part of the MTP talks, said PoMo transportation planner Mark Halpin, in addition to discussions with TransLink on the feasibility of removing a traffic lane and how doing so would affect the corridor’s peoplemoving capacity.

The bike path options were presented in a staff report at Tuesday’s Moody council meeting in response to a Trails BC delegation in March that looked at Trans Canada Trail options for Clarke Street.

Council had also received a staff report two years earlier

POMO MAYOR MIKE CLAY detailing bike connection options on the north side of Clarke between Moody and Kyle Street.

Staff’s summary of the potential routes for a bike path connecting Moody’s mixeduse pathway to the Trans Canada trailhead at Short Street included several options for each of four sections on the route.

The most challenging, they noted, would be the “pinch point” between Mary and Queen streets. This two-block stretch offers a space between the curb and Evergreen Line fence of just 1 to 2 m and includes street light poles. A two-way off-street bike path requires a minimum width of 3 m.

One option is relocating lamp standards and shifting the road 1 m south, possibly with a barrier to separate the bike path from the HOV lane.

A second option involves converting Clarke’s HOV lane to a separated, two-way onstreet bike lane, while also removing parking that is allowed in the HOV lane after the morning rush hour. Such a move would require TransLink approval based on sustaining the people-moving capacity of the corridor.

A third option would be to remove parking on the south side of Clarke Street, allowing for a shift in travel lanes without moving the full roadway, to create a separated bike lane.

The concepts offered few details and no cost estimates; doing so in a preliminary design phase would carry a $30,000 price tag.

Council debated whether to have staff provide “highlevel” cost estimates for all the options — a motion that city manager Kevin Ramsay cautioned would be ill-advised because it wouldn’t provide the kind of professional, reliable information council should have to make a decision. see REMOVING LANE, page 15

PORT MOODY

PoMo promises $130k to library to match grant Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody Public Library won backing from city council to apply for a federal grant for its long-awaited renovations — and a promise to kick in another $130,000 for the project.

The library board has requested capital funding of $450,000 twice in the past year for renovations that would repurpose the existing space to make it more efficient and user-friendly for its more than 300,000 annual users.

Council approved just $45,000 to replace the carpet, which is buckling and causing a safety hazard.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the library board’s JoAnne Parneta told council they hoped to apply for a Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program grant of $225,000, with the required matching funds coming from the $45,000 already promised, $50,000 from the library’s fundraising efforts and an additional $130,000 from the city.

“If the city is successful… a $450,000 project will cost us $175,000, which is an innova-

tive way to increase services to library patrons,” Parneta said.

But with the June 17 grant application deadline looming, council was unable to refer the decision to a finance committee meeting.

Several council members supported the move, saying it supported council’s strategic plan goals and would provide funding for a much-needed community project that had been pushed aside for other priorities.

But Mayor Mike Clay disagreed, saying it was “dangerous to make decisions this way.”

The library renovation had not been prioritized in the city’s capital plan for 2015, Clay said, a decision that shouldn’t be changed simply because “someone comes to council saying they need a decision tonight.”

Council wasn’t swayed by his arguments, however, and supported a motion to endorse the grant application and commit up to $130,000 in matching funds should the library’s application be successful.

Removing lane would be a ‘costly option’: Clay

But Mayor Mike Clay questioned whether a glaring question, one driven more by political and community factors than money, should be answered first.

“Shouldn’t we determine whether we want to close one lane of Clarke Street before we do anything on this?” he asked.

“Because that’s the kingpin of this whole plan, especially that pinch point.

“Removing a lane of traffic is a very costly option, and it’s a community cost, not just a dollar cost.”

Council opted to include the Clarke Street bike path preliminary design project in the 2016-’20 five-year financial plan process.

Coun. Diana Dilworth voted against the motion, saying she would like to see more community feedback from the TransPort Moody process and consider the bike path in 2017 or 2018, while Clay said it didn’t make sense to consider the project in isolation from the MTP process when the public would tell council whether a Clarke Street bike path is a priority. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Hurray! We’re off to the beach

S

oaring 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.

ummer 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!

This summer, take maximum advantage of the warm weather and enjoy your meals outside 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 wellequipped 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,

HAIR BE GONE

Some long-haired students at Mountain Meadows elementary in Port Moody saw their locks chopped off this month for Wigs for Kids BC. Principal Kate McMeiken said 10 students had their hair cut off during an assembly plus two parents and Karen Ross, who spearheaded the campaign. The hairdressing was done by Gleneagle secondary students in the ACE-It program. The drive also brought in nearly $2,600. “As the principal of this school, I am immensely proud of Mrs. Ross and her vision for this event. I am so pleased with the way in which our entire community embraced this Wigs for Kids BC fundraiser,” McMeiken said.

PROTECTION SENIORS

Ways you can help protect aging family and friends from abuse • Share information about common scams: It can be helpful for seniors to learn about common scams that typically target their peer group. Sharing this information with aging parents and friends, and talking about how they would react can help seniors protect themselves if approached by a scammer.

The province declared June 15 Elder Abuse Awareness Day to help raise awareness of disturbing and serious scams that can be devastating to seniors and their families.

And in a press release, BC Notaries shared things people can do to protect loved ones or themselves against elder fraud.

Are Your Dentures A Problem?

• Change banking practices: Set up direct deposit of all incoming pension and other funds to minimize the opportunity for fraudsters to intervene; tellers at your bank can help with this.

Additionally, set up pre-authorized payment for regular bills so they are paid automatically, without delay or worry.

Historic New West Building Opens Doors to New Residents

By Justin Beddall

N

ew West`s historic downtown has gone back to the future, as the doors officially opened at the much-anticipated Trapp + Holbrook development.

The project by the Salient Group includes the redevelopment of the historic Trapp Block at 668 Columbia St. and the Holbrook building at 660 Columbia St., as well as a new tower that includes 196 homes and 6,000-square-feet of commercial space on Columbia and Front streets.

The landmark Edwardian-era Trapp Building proudly stood as one of the signature structures on Columbia Street in the early 1900s and was officially listed on Canada’s Historic Places registry in 2004.

The Salient Group has been involved in a number of projects to retain and revitalize historic structures and neighbourhoods in Gastown.

Robert Fung, president of the Salient Group, purchased the Trapp and Hol-

brook buildings in 2005.

“The reason we are attracted to the area is because of that history, is because of that character, and there was a level of artistry originally and workmanship that’s really difficult to find these days,” Fung told the Record in 2014. “That tactile texture of the materials is very difficult to reproduce, and it’s important to keep that character.”

Two weeks ago that vision became reality as new residents began moving into the sold-out development.

“People are excited and want to move in,” Fung said.

“We’re very proud of it. It’s been a tricky, passionate long-term project,” he said. “There`s a ways to go before we get everybody moved in and everything finished up, but we felt it was probably appropriate in the process to celebrate the building.”

Since the Army & Navy moved out in 1976, the historic Trapp Block has remained vacant, Fung noted.

“It was a pretty big building to stay vacant for 40 years in a prime part of New

West real estate and an area that`s so important to the economy locally. (It’s) really exciting for us and the project that is really symbolic of the evolution of New Westminster. It’s got a strong foundation in its history and it’s a great story and with such a great future.”

Of course, historic restoration projects are never without unforeseen challenges.

“They are complex,” said Fung. “It’s an added component that sets projects like this apart from other new residential towers or developments, but it’s also what makes them unique and special and ties them back into the community.”

His company’s previous experience with projects in historic Gastown helped.

“Had we not done the ones in Gastown I might have been more surprised by the surprises. We anticipate the surprises around the heritage and we plan for them.”

He described the restoration process as “very complicated, extremely intensive,” in terms of the level of meticulous detail required, from inventorying the

pieces, removing them, storing them, restoring them, and rehabilitating them back in place on the new structure.

“It has been a massive labour of love for a lot of people.”

“The building is, quite honestly, one of the most beautiful façades we have in the Lower Mainland, if not in BC. It’s absolutely beautiful, the Trapp Block.

That seven-storey terracotta façade is unique and very special.”

Fung said approximately half of the residents moving in are from New West and that overall there’s a very high percentage of owner-occupiers.

“People are moving into new homes, it’s not just investors.”

In terms of the commercial space, Fung said an independent café and independent restaurant will be revealed on Thursday. Three other spaces will be retail based.

“We really believe in the notion of independent entrepreneurs, businesses that are complementary to the community and what’s already there.”

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

The Terry Fox Ravens took on Port Moody during the 7s high school rugby tournament last weekend, an event that drew teams from across the North Fraser rugby division.

The Coquitlam Adanacs dominance in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League is getting some national attention.

This week, the club was ranked second in Canada, behind reigning Minto Cup champions the Six Nations Arrows of the Ontario Lacrosse Association, with a 10-1 record so far this season.

On Wednesday night, the A’s demonstrated why they are one of the best teams in the country with a convincing 17-5 win over Tri-City rivals the Port Coquitlam Saints.

PoCo may have scored first, but it was Coquitlam that dominated for the rest of the three periods, racking up 53 shots on goal in the process.

A’s forward Mike Rybka had a ten point night (three goals, seven assists) while Cole Shafer

The score was almost out of reach for the Saints when the second period started, but an uninterupted eight-goal run by the Adanacs made it 14-4 going into the final frame. see SaintS, page 36

Jennings will play with SFU

WWW.TRICITYNEWS.COM

FIELD LACROSSE

PoMo athlete returns to B.C. for two seasons

Port Moody volleyball player Emma Jennings has been added to the Simon Fraser University’s 2015 recruiting class, the team announced this week.

The 5’11” left side hitter is returning home to play for SFU after two seasons with the University of Toronto and will be eligible to play for the Clam immediately, according to a press release. The University of Toronto advanced to the CIS national semifinals last season.

“Emma comes to us from a very successful CIS program and the experience she has gained over the past two years will enable her to make an immediate impact on our team,” said Clan head coach Gina Schmidt. “Growing up in Port Moody, Emma played on high school and club teams with a few of our current players and I think this level of familiarity will help her make a smooth transition into the SFU family.”

Jennings played in 13 sets

Attacker Liam MacDonald of the Coquitlam Adanacs intermediate box lacrosse team, left, cuts around defender Joel Edgar, right, of Terry Fox, during the B.C. Showcase for B.C.’s top field lacrosse prospects aged 16 to 18 at Topaz Park in Saanich on June 3.

The Showcase had more than 24 NCAA recruiters and top level players from Claremont and Spectrum lacrosse academies.

EMMA JENNINGS for the U of T this season. As a freshman, Jennings played in 44 sets averaging 1.02 kills and 1.43 digs per set.

“Besides my love for the west coast, I was impressed by the volleyball program and the level of play in the NCAA,” she said on Monday. “The opportunity to compete against American teams and travel throughout the states really excites me.”

In high school, Jennings played for Heritage Woods secondary and was named AAAA provincial all-star three seasons in a row.

Playing for Heritage Woods in High School, Jennings was an “AAAA” provincial all-star in three consecutive seasons.

Saints come close, but fall to Adanacs Wednesday night was a rematch of Friday’s game, that was considerably tighter on the scoreboard.

The Saints held their own in that match, which took place at the PoCo rec centre, even taking the lead for the bulk of the game.

Chetner opened the scoring for Coquitlam but Saints forward Quinton Pavan quickly tied things up before Sam Shiel made it 2-1 for the home team.
