Coq. family torn apart by murder and suicide Daughter dead, mother believed to have killed her SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam family is grieving after a horrific tragedy unfolded in their Eagleridge Drive home last Friday afternoon, leaving a 22-year-old woman dead and her mother, the woman suspected of killing her, found floating in Buntzen Lake.

Coquitlam RCMP were called to the home in the 1100block of Eagleridge Drive, just

off Guildford Way, shortly before 5 p.m. July 15. They found the young woman unresponsive. Paramedics were called in and pronounced her dead at the scene.

“The female appeared to have sustained injuries that were consistent with foul play and at that point IHIT was called in,” said the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team’s S/Sgt. Jennifer Pound in a press release.

The suspect had escaped before police arrived and police and Coquitlam Search and Rescue launched a search for her. see VEHICLE SPOTTED, page 7

MISSING PERSONS

Realtor’s gut feeling LOW BACK helped find a senior PAIN Senior had gone missing from New Westminster SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A Tri-City realtor is being recognized for her help in locating a missing senior.

Risa Bassetto was on her way home from showing a listing in Vancouver last week but opted to take Brunette Avenue home to Coquitlam, instead of Mariner Way, because of construction on her usual route. That’s when something caught her eye.

“Right across from Mackin Park, I saw this senior… and it was a gut instinct,” Bassetto told The Tri-City News. “My instinct at that time, even though I was in a rush to get home, was to turn around and see if this person needed help.”

But in the split-second juggling of gauging traffic, determining where to turn around and whether to just continue on her way home, Bassetto opted to continue on and get dinner started.

Her initial instinct would

RISA BASSETTO prove true, however, when Bassetto scrolled through her email and saw one of the missing person fan-outs she and other realtors get about once a month through the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). This particular email was for a missing person who lives in New Westminster but was last seen on Ash Street in Vancouver, Bassetto said.

“It didn’t really mean anything to me but I clicked on the photo and looked at the person, and it looked like the person I’d seen yesterday where my gut was telling me something was wrong.”

She phoned Vancouver Police Department and reported her possible sighting,

and the following day, two detectives asked Bassetto to take them to the spot where she had seen the senior — it happened to be an area the senior was known to frequent.

“I got an email in the morning saying the person was found, cold and tired, and is now at home getting the help they need,” Bassetto said.

“I think the big story here is to listen to your gut instinct.

I kick myself — if something bad had happened, I would have felt just awful.”

“Risa was instrumental in finding this elderly person,” VPD Det. Const. Raymond Payette said in a release. “She and the Realty Watch program allowed us to find this senior safe.”

Realty Watch is a partnership between local police departments, the RCMP and more than 14,000 realtors across the Lower Mainland.

The fan-outs are sent to realtors for missing children (aged 16 and under), seniors and vulnerable, at-risk adults. The program helped locate an elderly woman in White Rock in 2009 and a missing teenager in 2006 in Langley.

LASER MAY BE THE ANSWER. WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY LOW BACK PAIN WITH SCIATICA

After three months of taking pain killers, I made an appointment to see about having laser treatment. I had 17 treatments for my lower back pain, and now I can garden and do other activities without taking any pain killers. A.W.

SCIATICA

I had been treating my lower back with massage, chiropractic and physiotherapy for the past 25 years due to chronic sciatica and back pain. When the arthritis presented itself, there was nothing that would relieve the pain and spasm I felt all day long. I didn’t think I would have any quality of life in the future if I was in this much pain at 50. I gave laser a try and after 15 treatments I am pain free and am able to bend and twist again. I recommend this wonderful treatment to everyone I meet who has any pain concerns.

Tina R.

SCIATICA I couldn’t believe it - after one treatment the pain in my back was almost gone. I have Spinal Stenosis which brought on Sciatica on the left side of my body. After 12 treatments with Laser Light Therapy

the sciatic pain was gone. Even my doctor was amazed because of my bad condition. Thank you - it feels wonderful.

R.M.T LOWER BACK I had lower back spasms for many years.

Whenever I got up in the morning or from sitting, my pain was so bad that I couldn’t stand upright until after a couple of minutes. A friend told me to try Laser Light Therapy. Now I’m glad I did because now I can get up pain free.

T.L SCIATICA

I am an active 70 year old male. A couple of months ago I started feeling a discomfort in the right buttocks area. It became gradually worse and reached a point where the pain was excruciating and functioning normally was not possible. It was diagnosed as a pinched sciatic nerve. I tried acupuncture, but to no avail.

My GP could not offer any treatment other than pain killers and waiting it out. After six laser treatments I am now pain free and have resumed my active lifestyle.

Owners of vacant HEALTHY HABITS FOR YOUR CHILD’S buildings may pay DENTAL HEALTH GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Vacant structures are responsible for an increasing number of fire calls in Coquitlam and Chief Wade Pierlot said property owners should be responsible for the costs.

He told council Monday night the problem has been on the rise over the last three years due in large part to the amount of redevelopment in the area associated with the construction of the Evergreen Line. The proposed changes would save the city money and encourage property owners to tear down vacant structures as soon as possible, he added.

“Those types of vacant buildings cause us to respond more and more,” Pierlot said. “They

usually fall into disrepair… It has been noticeable. It is something we have been monitoring for some time.”

He cited safety concerns as another reason for the changes.

Many vacant buildings become occupied by homeless people and firefighters heading to a scene are often unsure whether they will be simply containing a blaze or rescuing people.

“That is one of the most important things we need to know when we approach a building,” he said. “We change our tactics if human lives are at risk.”

The city is also looking to expand its definition of a vacant structure to include any building where a demolition permit has been sought or where water, sewer, gas or electrical service have been terminated.

Mayor Richard Stewart said he supports the proposal and favours adding additional inspections at the cost of the property owner to ensure that buildings are secure. He added that a financial incentive is required to encourage people to demolish vacant buildings.

“We all know of those incidents where a house ends up terrorizing a neighbourhood because it is left derelict or vacant and should be torn down,” he said. “But there is no financial incentive to tear it down.”

The first three readings of the bylaw changes were carried unanimously during Monday’s council meeting. The issue will come back for final approval at a future council meeting.

CAN YOU KEEP YOUR FAMILY LAW JUDGMENT PRIVATE?

Recently, a father involved in a high-conflict family law dispute asked our B.C. Supreme Court to “seal” its reasons for judgment to keep the contents from the public.

The parents had split after more than 20 years of marriage. They were fighting over guardianship and parenting arrangements for their four children (ages 18 to 11 at trial).

Over time, their family situation had become seriously dysfunctional, not only between the parents, but also between the children and (mostly) their mother, who had largely been responsible for looking after them before the break-up.

Lots of unflattering information came out. The father, who was highly successful financially, had long ago pleaded guilty to a serious charge (for which he said he got an unconditional discharge).

He said his ex was badmouthing him about the criminal matter in their community after they broke up, though he’d told her about it before they got married. While married, he’d also had an affair lasting many years.

The mother alleged sexual misbehaviour by the father with the children (accusations the court categorically rejected). And the troubled, broken relationship between the mother and her older children – screaming, nasty swear words, disrespect and physical confrontations – was fully aired.

You & The Law® When a marriage breaks up and you end up battling in court, it can get ugly. Lots of private, personal details about your family situation may come out and, however untrue, nasty and embarrassing allegations often fly both ways.

The first dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the first tooth.

Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist.

The father argued all this dirty family laundry was highly personal. He said keeping the reasons for judgment from the public would be in the best interests of the children.

But the B.C. court said it’s more important that courts be open. Courts are not private forums, and this also applies to family law cases. It’s not enough that there could be unwanted publicity or the trial is embarrassing. A high threshold of harm has to be proved to qualify for an exception to the overriding “open court” principle. The situation here didn’t justify keeping the reasons for judgment from the public.

The court took some steps to protect the children’s anonymity in its published reasons by identifying the children only as C1 to C4 (and identified the parents’ names by initials only). But the judge observed it’s difficult to insulate children from the effects of a published judgment.

One of the drawbacks of sorting out family disputes by going to court is that it’s very hard to keep things confidential. Some rules of court limit access to matrimonial court files, but once you’re in open court, the hearing is public and you take your chances.

This is just one more reason to consider using other options like mediation and/or arbitration – ask your lawyer about alternatives to going to court to sort out your family law dispute.

SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A memorial has appeared on the fence outside the Eagleridge Drive home of the family hit by a murder/suicide last Friday.

TRI-CITY CRIME

Vehicle spotted at lake & body found continued from front page

The woman’s vehicle was located at Buntzen Lake and at 6 a.m. Saturday, her body was pulled from the water. Pound would not say whether the woman’s car was spotted in the parking lot before the park gates were locked at 8 p.m.

Friday or before they are reopened at 8 a.m. Saturday.

“While evidence gathered suggests this to be a tragic case of murder/suicide, there remains much work to be done,” Pound said.

A neighbour said he had known the family of four for

several years and said although he was at home on Friday, he didn’t hear anything.

“I left to pick up my son and when I came back, the police were here,” said the man, who asked not to be identified.

“They’re very quiet,” he said of his neighbours. “They’re really nice people. She’s a super nice lady and the mom is just really quiet. I never once heard a peep. It’s shocking.”

The family hosted a Bible study session at their home every Saturday night, he said, and the families talked regularly, especially since their young sons often played

together.

A memorial has sprung up outside the house, with flowers and cards taped to the fence.

“You went home to be with our Lord Jesus,” said one sign. “We love you and miss you, you will always be in our hearts. Until we meet again, God bless you and your family.”

Pound said the family is co-operating as they attempt to process the loss, with help from Victims’ Services.

Police have not released the names of the two women. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Port Moody firefighters worked for hours on Monday afternoon and evening to knock down a fire at the Flavelle mill on the waterfront.

Smoke from the blaze forced evacuation of Rocky Point Park and closure of the Moody Street overpass into the evening.

SUMMER OF SAVINGS SALES EVENT FIRE

Stubborn fire blows smoke, closes park and overpass GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Moody Street overpass was closed and Rocky Point Park was evacuated for several hours Monday afternoon and evening as Port Moody firefighters battled a stubborn blaze at the Flavelle mill on the city’s waterfront.

Investigators believe the source of the flames was a conveyer system on the property but blowing embers ignited nearby woodchip piles, some log booms and an abandoned shed.

“We were picking up [fire] starts around 400 m away from the original fire,” said PoMo Deputy Chief Gord Parker, adding that nobody was injured in the incident. “We were getting some fairly shifty winds. We were getting fairly high wind gusts and ember transplants.”

Eventually, a Seaspan tug boat with a water cannon was brought in to douse the flames from the inlet while crews worked to contain the blaze on the ground. Two crews of Coquitlam firefighters were also brought in to help.

Parker said firefighters were on scene at around 2:50 p.m.

and had the fire mostly contained by 8 p.m., although they were still dousing hot spots until about 10 p.m. Twenty sprinklers were deployed throughout the site to keep the area soaked, he added.

“We were fortunate about the damp weather so far [this summer],” he said. “If this was last summer, it could have been a very different story.”

Due to the amount of smoke billowing from the site, a decision was made at around 6 p.m. to close Rocky Point, the pier and the Boathouse Restaurant, said Paul Rockwood, Port Moody’s acting city manager.

“It was just a precaution,” he said, noting that some people with respiratory conditions may have had difficulty breathing with all of the smoke.

This is not the first time firefighters have been called to the Flavelle site. In April 2015, it took fire crews 12 hours to extinguish another stubborn blaze, which broke out at the facility’s planing mill. Nobody was injured in the incident but the amount of smoke made it difficult for crews to contain the flames. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Auto break-ins bring warnings from cops Coquitlam RCMP are reminding drivers to keep their vehicles secured — and empty — after a rash of break-ins this week.

On Monday the detachment received 11 reports of smashand-grabs with items stolen ranging from cash to sunglasses — even shoes. It’s a reversal of the downward trend of vehicle break-ins police have seen over the past decade, due largely to increased use of prevention measures, the Bait Car program and legislation requiring new vehicles to be equipped with immobilizers.

Now with thefts on the rise, police are reminding people that theft from vehicles is often linked to identity theft, with one out of every three stolen identity documents like insurance papers, driver’s licences and passports being used to create fake IDs that could be traced back to vehicle theft files.

“Theft from vehicle is considered a crime of opportunity,” said Const. Jamie Phillipson in an email to The Tri-City News.

“You take a huge risk by leaving anything of value inside your car. We ask that you lock your vehicle, park in well-lit areas and remove everything from your car, including loose change and phones, in order to

Steven Fayant, 23, has been charged with aggravated assault and failing to comply with a bail condition. He is expected to appear in Surrey provincial court on Thursday.

Securing your vehicle is also being a good neighbour by keeping the area from becoming a “target-rich” environment for such opportunistic thieves, according to police.

Police ask drivers not to: • leave valet keys, spare keys or house keys inside the vehicle; • store spare keys in visible spots in their homes — keep them in a secure spot, where they aren’t visible through a window; • leave a car running and unattended; • leave briefcases, purses and backpacks that may contain wallets, identification, laptops,

cell phones and other valuables unattended in a vehicle — not even for a short time or locked in a trunk or glove box; Police also urge drivers to lock doors and roll up windows, even if there’s nothing valuable inside, to discourage thieves looking for an easy target and to deter those aiming for a trunk or hood release button in order to steal parts or the contents of the trunk. As well: • Park in your garage if you have one, and lock both your vehicle and your garage.

• Park in well-lit/well-populated areas where “natural surveillance” can serve as a deterrent. spayne@tricitynews.com

Businesses that Coquitlam’s Little Toy Libraries

ased on the success of the Free Little Libraries program, the City of Coquitlam is introducing Little Toy Libraries.

“We have around 12 free-book libraries in our system,” says Kathleen Reinheimer, Manager of Parks for the City of Coquitlam, “and toys are a natural extension of the concept that provides an amenity for neighbours in our local parks.”

In 2015, the City experimented with placing toys in the local parks and found the idea was well received by the community.

“We just had them in storage tubs on the ground,” Kathleen recalls, “so we were looking for ways to make them a little more high profile.”

To that end, the City worked through its Park Spark program to put the toys in baskets with signage and offered local businesses and individuals the opportunity to sponsor a toy library.

Park Spark is a City initiative that works with businesses and the community to enhance Coquitlam parks. The local business community volunteers to fund the first batch of toys. And their staff members are involved in checking on the toys.

“They make sure the toys remain in a

safe condition and commit to refilling the toy basket if needed,” Kathleen explains.

“However, we noticed last year that at least one location ended up with more toys in the basket than it started out with. It was an indication to us of the community’s comfort around the program.”

According to Kathleen, the main message from the Little Toy Library, apart from offering toys for children to borrow or use in the park, is that Coquitlam parks are safe and a comfortable place to visit.

“We want the community get out into the parks,” she says, “to be physically active, and have fun.”

For more information on the Free Little Toy Libraries, check out the City’s website at www.coquitlam.ca/cib, call 604.927.6312, or email parkspark@coquitlam.ca. The City of Coquitlam can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

OUR OPINION

Canadians shouldn’t be so smug about others’ racism “Thank heavens we live in Canada.”

W

e’re hearing that refrain more and more often as citizens of our fair nation look at the goings-on south of the border. Every time someone shares a story on social media about the shooting of a black man in the U.S., Canadians watch with a mixture of horror and sadness — with more than a little bit of smugness thrown in for good measure.

Oh sure, it’s horrible and it’s ugly, goes the sentiment, but at least it’s not happening here. Or so we tell ourselves.

Hate to break it you, Canada, but that’s just not quite true.

Just ask Remigio Pereira. As the member of Canada’s The Tenors discovered after his now no-

torious decision to change the lyrics to “O Canada” at baseball’s all-star game, race is a touchy topic in Canada, too.

And for good reason.

For all that we like to hold ourselves up to the U.S. as a shining example of a tolerant and inclusive nation, we have our own share of problems.

The treatment of our First Nations people, historic and current, has to top the list. And that’s not forgetting about all the times that minority communities — immigrants from China, Japan and India, among others — have run up against systemic prejudice and racism in Canadian society.

Lest you think that those sorts of problems live only in the distant past, you need only to read the comment sections attached to any article about foreign ownership of real estate to recognize that racism is alive and well north of the border.

Or cruise the #alllivesmatter hashtag on Twitter for another eye-opening look at how people are thinking in this country.

The fact is, racism exists on both a personal and a systemic level in Canada, and pretending it doesn’t won’t change anything.

And we fear it will get worse before it gets better.

Because the more people feel insecure — about

their jobs, their homes, their ability to effect political change — the more likely they are to lash out against the unknown “others” who they believe are threatening their way of life. And the more people feel powerless in a world that seems to have gone adrift, the more likely they are to hunker down and isolate themselves from anyone who looks, sounds and thinks differently from themselves.

No, our leaders aren’t spewing hate and vitriol at every possible opportunity, like a certain orange individual south of the border. And no, people aren’t being shot in the streets for having the wrong skin colour.

But sticking our heads in the sand and pretending not to see the problems around us is no way to move forward.

SELF-SERVE GAS IN COQUITLAM

PORT MOODY WATERFRONT

Say ‘no’ to self-serve PCT project means jobs for Port Moody The Editor, Re. “Chevron pushing on city’s regs re. self-serve stations” (The Tri-City News, July 8).

I would hope Coquitlam’s mayor and council reject Chevron’s request to allow some self-service at gas stations. Kudos to Coquitlam and Richmond for standing up to the big oil companies.

The result of switching to self-service would be more job losses in Coquitlam and more money in the pockets of the big corporations.

The state of Oregon has full

service throughout the state and it seems to be doing fine.

I would agree that credit-only self-service at night would be safer for staff but worry that once the door is open a bit, it would be only a matter of time before it opened all the way, as it has in the rest of Metro Vancouver.

Mark Farrell, Coquitlam

HELP FOR DISABLED The Editor, If there were no full-serve gas stations, it would be a great loss to those of us who have dif-

ficulty with self-serve.

I drive to Coquitlam so someone can fill the car for me and I appreciate that service. It is one of the few services left.

If Coquitlam allows dual service, Chevron might then increase the price for self-serve and this would be an added cost for the disabled and elderly.

Full-serve stations also provide jobs for people.

Coquitlam should be a city that still thinks of those who can’t walk great distances, bike or use transit with ease.

PRIVATE VS. PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Funding not fair for private schools The Editor, Re. “Sheltering private schools while undermining public” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, July 6).

As a former public school teacher (School District 43, about 18 years) and mother of a private schooler, then homeschooler, I know first-hand the many reasons for choosing a private school. The public system is

not bad, and there are many excellent, awesome teachers and amazing programs. But there are many valid reasons for choosing private school.

The government does not shelter private schools.

Remember, every parent (and those who are not parents) pay school taxes to the government.

Why should those who choose private schooling not receive

some benefits rather than being penalized by having to pay for everything, which would be the case if government was to not help fund private schools?

Fair funding? It is far from fair for the private schools — take a look at actual dollar amounts the government gives to all private schools in B.C. compared to the amount given to private schools.

Deborah Struk, Belcarra

The Editor, Re. “What will be legacy of enviro protection?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 15).

Does the letter writer Jay Lepp host his chiropractic patients in an outdoor clinic or does the building that houses his offices obstruct someone else’s view of “such a beautiful inlet?”

I see the Pacific Coast Terminals potash warehouse construction from my living room window and each time I look at it I rejoice — because it means jobs for people living in Port Moody, jobs for producers of potash in Saskatchewan, jobs for railway and shipping industry workers, tax revenue for the city, community support for the arts, parks and all sorts of other things to which PCT contributes so much.

each year, which the city expects the company to pay.

“If the cost impacts cannot be fully mitigated, the city will seek compensation from Kinder Morgan,” said the most recent staff report.

But while the compensation issue has not been settled, the city said it was satisfied with Kinder Morgan’s response to several other concerns.

The company said it will consider burying its pipes deeper in the ground, which would help avoid conflicts with city crews when conducting maintenance on municipal infrastructure. Kinder Morgan has also agreed to avoid using Colony Farm Regional Park as a staging area and will now work along the CP Rail corridor.

Meanwhile, the company

is also offering $1 million to the city through its Trans Mountain Community Benefits Program should the twinning project be approved by the federal government. A city staff report said the money would be used for improvements to Mackin Park.

Still, several councillors remained skeptical about the funds being offered by Kinder Morgan.

“Really, it is mostly about public relations,” said Coun.

Chris Wilson. “That is why I don’t support it. It is to try and garner support for their project.”

Council also amended a report to ensure that approval of the compensation request did not equate to an endorsement of the pipeline project. The amendment and the report

The city of Coquitlam is renewing its request to Kinder Morgan to compensate the municipality for all costs incurred by the existing Trans Mountain pipeline and its potential future expansion.

According to a city staff report, the proposed twinning of the line will mean a $432,000 annual increase in operating and capital costs to the city. That figure is on top of an estimated $1.61 million Coquitlam already pays for maintenance and replacement of municipal infrastructure as a result of the existing pipeline.

“The total estimated annualized cost to the city is in the order of $2 million for both the existing and proposed lines,” said Jozsef Dioszeghy, the city’s general manager of engineering and public works. “The estimated costs include an allowance for insurance and contingency.”

In a report to council last year, staff said the additional operating and capital expenses far outpace the $177,000 in annual property tax the city is expected to collect from the company based on 2014 rates.

POCO GRAND PRIX: THE WRAP

Thousands pack PoCo for its first Grand Prix The Tri-CiTy News

Cheers rang out and cowbells clanged in downtown Port Coquitlam last Friday as the city hosted its first PoCo Grand Prix.

The cycling race — the penultimate stop for BC Superweek, a 10-day series that features eight contests with more than $125,000 up for grabs — drew thousands of spectators wanting to catch a glimpse of professional and amateur athletes.

And it ended in glorious fanfare with eight-time U.S. national champion Justin Williams of Los Angeles (riding for Cylance-Incycle p/b Cannondale) clinching the men’s Pro 1/2 title in a time of 59 minutes, 33 seconds.

Williams narrowly beat

LEASE

Marcotte (Langlois Brown Racing) with a time of 36:45.

In between the competitive races, organizers held a corporate challenge that included Town Haul — a team made up of Tri-City mayors Richard Stewart, Greg Moore, Mike Clay and John McEwen — as well as youth and kids’ races. The latter attracted some 200 participants, making it one of the largest turnouts ever for a BC Superweek children’s race.

Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, the PoCo Grand Prix was emceed by Global TV sportscaster Jay Janower, a Port Moody resident, and Andrew Pinfold, a North Vancouver cyclist and program director for Team DEVO.

This spring, 12 artists were selected to each adorn a fibreglass sculpture with their design reflecting Coquitlam’s past, present and future. Standing more than six feet high and six feet wide, the sculptures will be placed in high profile locations around the city this fall as public art commemorating the City’s 125th anniversary.

The selected artists brought diverse cultural backgrounds, experiences and inspiration to the project, resulting in a wide variety of creative and colourful designs that reflect different aspects of our community. The fiberglass salmon were created by award-winning Squamish Nation artist Jody Broomfield.

For the kids, there’ll be arts and crafts and games. Try out dry-point print making and your unique etched leaf can become become part of the Coquitlam 125 public art tree sculpture that will be unveiled at Lights at Lafarge, Nov. 26.

HELP KEEP WASTE OUT OF THE LANDFILL

LIGHTS AT LAFARGE

Watch for waste-sorting stations throughout the Kaleidoscope grounds operated by Coquitlam’s recycling partner, Westcoast Plastic Recycling. Westcoast staff will be on hand to help event-goers sort their waste into bins for organics, mixed recycling, refundable recycling, and garbage.

Nov. 26 / 2:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Join us for the grand finale of Coquitlam 125.

Enjoy songs of the season, the artisan fair, fun activities and a stunning display of more than 50,000 lights —watch for something special!

This is an outdoor/indoor event at Town Centre Park and Evergreen Cultural Centre.

At the end of the day organics and garbage will be removed by the City, while Westcoast will haul all recyclables back to its Richmond facility for sorting and preparation for remanufacturing.

Westcoast will also provide this service at the Community Heritage Picnic Sept. 17 and Lights at Lafarge Nov. 26. The partnership is saving the City approximately $9,000 in disposal costs—and, more importantly, it’s helping to save the planet by keeping waste out of the landfill.

Some 300 race-goers parked their bikes with a free valet service hosted by Cap’s Westwood Cycle next to Port Coquitlam Bowl.

POCO GRAND PRIX: THE WRAP

Challenge to match good attendance next year continued from page 16

Meanwhile, inside the 1.3km circuit, there was plenty of entertainment: Leigh Square bandshell hosted the likes of Locarno, Bird & Lion, Ache Brasil, Sean Michael Trio and Groove & Tonic while Veterans Park — in front of city hall — had children’s activities and tunes from Will Stroet.

On and off McAllister Street, Norco set up a kids’ zone while a business expo was staged along Leigh Square Place.

More than 200 volunteers were part of the PoCo Grand Prix, which was presented by Dominion Lending Centres.

“It was fantastic. It was won-

derful,” said Port Moody’s Brian Wiebe of BC Superweek on Tuesday. “The amount of spectators that came out was aweinspiring for a first-time race.

I think PoCo is in a for a challenge to do better next year.”

Pardeep Purewal, the city of PoCo’s communications manager, said costs are still being tallied but the numbers are expected to be released in September. “Overall, the event was a great investment by the city and we anticipate a large portion of the costs to be offset by corporate support.”

As for the four winners, Purewal said a perpetual trophy will be displayed at city hall.

Tentative transit deal ends threat of strike JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

The threat of a transit strike by bus drivers and other support staff at Coast Mountain Bus Co. has ended after union and company negotiators emerged from talks last week with a tentative three-year contract.

Details have not yet been released but Unifor Local 111 president Steve Sutherland said the agreement contains no concessions by the workers.

The deal would cover 4,700 transit operators, mechanics, maintenance staff and SeaBus workers in Metro Vancouver represented by two Unifor locals.

A ratification vote is set for tomorrow (Thursday).

“If accepted, this contract will provide us with stability and allow us to focus on working with riders, the community and all three levels of government to improve transit services,” Sutherland said.

Unifor B.C. area director Gavin McGarrigle said the union wants to turn its attention to persuading the provincial government to improve transit funding.

“More bus service is the quickest way to improve transit and the federal and municipal governments have shown they are committed to more funding, so we now need to convince the provincial government to do its share and make pass-ups a thing of the past,” he said.

Coast Mountain Bus officials said they were pleased an agreement has been reached without a service disruption.

mate. “We’re asking everyone to be mindful if they receive any kind of request for personal information and to notify their local police if they have shared their personal information or have been a victim of fraud,” he said in a news release.

To avoid fraud, police recommend residents not respond to unsolicited communication for private details.

“The Canada Revenue

Agency will never request personal information by email or request documents pertaining to health services cards, driver’s licence or passport,” he said.

As well, RCMP suggest residents monitor their bank accounts and credit reports often.

POCO GRAND PRIX: THE FUN STUFF

While competitive bike races featuring top amateur and professional athletes were the main events at last Friday’s inaugural PoCo Grand Prix, the children’s race in the afternoon was a huge draw, attracting some 200 participants — the most ever for a BC Superweek kids’ event. Friday’s festivities also featured a variety of entertainment, from clowns to musical performers to a bike obstacle course for kids to try out on McAllister Avenue, where exhibitor booths were also set up along with the Norco Kids Zone.

As well, there was a corporate race featuring teams of four riders.

One was made up of Tri-City mayors Richard Stewart, Greg Moore, Mike Clay and John McEwen (bottom left), another sported unique cycling wear and a third featured riders on folding Brompton bikes dressed in business attire. The city of Port Coquitlam has signed on to host the Grand Prix for another four years.

oquitlam embraces its rich multicultural makeup today but it didn’t always.

The 1910 workforce census recorded 877 labourers employed by the Canadian Western Lumber Company, which later became Fraser Mills. Among the workers enumerated were: • 24 Chinese people; • 15 Greeks; • 66 Japanese; • 5 Norwegians; • and 172 “Hindus” — likely workers of South Asian origin.

The remainder of workers were French-Canadian, brought in from Quebec to

Although the French Canadian contingent at Fraser Mills has long been well-known, workers from many racial and ethnic backgrounds worked at the site in Coquitlam.

This is the second instalment of a series of columns produced by the Coquitlam Heritage Society to coincide with the city of Coquitlam’s 125th birthday this year. The columns will be published every few weeks and the next one covers the city’s curfew horn in the early 1900s.

replace the largely Asian workforce, a result of the anti-Asian sentiment prevalent in the early 1900s. The workers were likely paid according to race, as was the practice in those days, with different pay scales for “Chinese,” “Hindu” and “White.”

Little regard was given to the displaced Asian workers. Many were single men and while it is comforting to think they could have returned to their country of origin, that would have been expensive and unlikely.

As well, many were born here, although the prejudices at the time did not identify them as Canadian.

What a difference 100 years makes. In the 2006 census, 41% of Coquitlam residents were foreign-born. Visible minorities included Chinese, 17%; Korean, 5%; South Asian and West Asian, a combined 3.7%; and Filipino, 2.7%.

Today, the city of Coquitlam has a Multicultural Strategy and Action Plan, approved in 2011, that was designed to make the city more inclusive, and Coquitlam residents take pride in the city’s many ethnic groups and celebrate their contributions.

KALEIDOSCOPE FESTIVAL

Odds, Yukon Blonde & Byrnes for 125 Janis Warren

ǧ

Musicians with two top Canadian rock bands have this to say about playing this weekend’s signature festival for Coquitlam 125: they’re honoured to have been asked to mark the milestone year. “Any birthday is fun,� said Port Moody native Craig Northey, frontman for the Odds that performs at the new Town Centre Park Plaza on Sunday night. “Coquitlam is a happening place and it’s great to see everyone get out to celebrate their community.� “It’s always good when the community gets together to recognize its history and its future,� added Brandon Scott, guitarist for Yukon Blonde, which headlines Saturday with a 9 p.m. concert on the stage.

Indeed, the Kaleidoscope festivities have plenty of big names on the bill including Anmore’s Greg Drummond, Coquitlam singer Cassandra Bangel, The Boom Booms, Brickhouse and Jim Byrnes.

While Scott said Yukon Blonde will perform tunes from its latest album at its first Coquitlam appearance, Northey said the Odds will offer “old songs, new songs,

Still, music will only be one component to the two-day free festival: storytelling, visual arts, theatre and dance will also be on tap in the venues named the Dance Stage, the Buskers Stage and the Story Cafe.

And 10 food trucks will be

lined up to whet appetites while Port Moody brewers Moody Ales and Yellow Dog will also be serving.

Joan McCauley, chair of CAST (the Coquitlam 125 Anniversary Steering Task Force), said attendees should expect surprises at every turn, with roving characters telling stories about the city’s past. “We’re really keeping to the

A legacy project will also be unveiled during the celebrations: a dozen handpainted salmon sculptures will be revealed — public art that will dot Coquitlam’s public spaces

CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

New vision for arts, culture JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam has a new guide to steer the arts scene over the next 10 years — a document that Mayor Greg Moore said last month he hopes won’t “sit on the shelf.”

The Imagine Port Coquitlam Cultural Plan is the latest civic vision to roll out in the TriCities, a blueprint for how arts, cultural and heritage events, programs, services and facility operations will be delivered over the next decade.

While Coquitlam is still working on its $100,000 arts vision — as part of a recreation master plan — and Port Moody is gearing up to study its next concept, PoCo has already laid the groundwork for how it will achieve its goals.

And the first to be checked off will be hiring a cultural development and community services manager, a new position that some councillors voted against at budget time in May given the financial pressures facing the city.

Recreation director Lori Bowie said the arts manager is expected to be in place this fall and will use “Imagine” as a launch pad to set up an external festivals committee as well as to start a cultural roundtable — one in which PoCo artists can network and share

“What we are hoping for with this plan is that we will bring the A/E community together to see what we can do,” Bowie said from her office in the

Leigh Square Community Arts Village, the downtown hub.

Local artists are an untapped resource, she said, and can often feel isolated. She’d like to see them included

as artists-in-residence in high-traffic, non-traditional locations — that is, away from galleries and into city parks, for example.

Visual artists, musicians,

dancers and actors can also animate the many events throughout the year such as May Days, the CP Rail Holiday Train party — of which PoCo is the last stop on the national journey — and Canada Day. And, for downtown summer events, like the PoCo Grand Prix and car show, entertainment can become a major attraction, which in turn provides greater economic spinoffs for retailers.

Bowie would like to see more creative partnerships with the business improvement association (BIA) like staging organized window displays. “These types of things can re-energize the community and foster pride,” she said.

As for the Terry Fox Theatre — a proscenium venue attached to Terry Fox secondary that School District 43 turned into a rental facility last June, without consulting the municipality — Bowie said the city is monitoring its operations.

The Tri-City News has been unsuccessful to obtain the theatre’s year-end financial report despite repeated requests.

On Tuesday, SD43 community relations manager Peter Chevrier said there will be now be no specific report available.

musiC award

Port Coquitlam’s Eli Bennett scored a top prize at the first-ever Fraser Valley Music Awards last ELI BENNETT Saturday.

The gala, held at the Abbotsford Arts Centre and hosted by CIVL Radio, saw the 27-yearold clinch the jazz accolade for his work as a saxophonist.

Bennett’s debut album, Breakthrough, was released in October 2014.

A Conn-Selmer endorsing artist, Bennett regularly composes for TV and film — sometimes with his dad, Darryl Bennett, the drummer for the Powder Blues. He has received Leo award nominations for his writing on Remedy (animation), Reset (short drama), Escape Act (short drama) and Nash (feature documentary).

On Friday, Bennett appears in the Gotham lounge (615 Seymour St., Vancouver) with pianist Austin Nash Park. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Their exhibit is up at Gallery Bistro (2411 Clarke St.) until July 31.

RIVERVIEW ART

A photo essay of ArtConnect’s recent show at the Pendulum Gallery in Vancouver is now mounted at Port Coquitlam city hall.

The Tri-City arts group staged its exhibit, titled Riverview - Our Iconic Landscape, at the Vancouver venue to pay tribute to the Coquitlam mental health institution, which is now undergoing a visioning process.

The PoCo display — on the main floor of city hall — features images from Manfred Kraus.

Next month, more Riverview-themed artwork from the Pendulum show will

While Coquitlam marks its 125th year with a signature anniversary festival this weekend, Port Moody will also party with Ribfest 2.0.

Rotarians have lined up 16 acts to play the PCT Performance Stage on Friday, Saturday and Sunday while revellers chow down at Rocky Point Park.

And many of the bands will be familiar to music lovers, having entertained as part of the annual Summer Sunday Concerts on the same platform. Among them, Steelin’ In the Years, So Tight, Coco Jafro, R&B Allstars, Big City Soul and Mostly Marley. Groove & Tonic will close Ribfest on Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

For the lineup, visit portmoodyribfest.ca.

PUBLIC PIANO

Want to tickle the ivories but have no piano?

Port Coquitlam now has the instrument in front of city hall.

The public piano is courtesy of Pianos on the Street, an outdoor community music program by Pacey’s Pianos and the Piano Teachers Federation that also has piano at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody; it was designed by Arkie Liu, a Port Moody secondary student.

Last Friday, during the inaugural PoCo Grand Prix cycling race, spectators were invited to paint the Port Coquitlam piano that will be at Veterans Park until Sept. 21.

Meanwhile, residents can enter a contest by uploading a photo or video of themselves playing the PoCo piano.

Saints vs. Adanacs in first BCJALL round Saints and Jr. Adanacs will begin first round GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City sports fans have received a gift from the lacrosse gods in the form of a first-round BCJALL playoff matchup between the Port Coquitlam Saints and the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs.

The series (Game 1 got underway Tuesday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline) was set Thursday night when PoCo

downed the Langley Jr. Thunder 10-1 on the road in the second match of a best-ofthree wildcard round.

GILLESPIE The Saints’ eagerness to make their first appearance in the post season since 2008 was evident from the start of the game. PoCo’s goalie Andrew Gallant put up a wall in front of the net, stopping 34 of the 35 shots he faced for an incredible 0.971 save percentage

and waves of Saints forwards found the back of the net.

Brodie Gillespie was the first to get FOULDS the visitors on the board, before Clarke Walter and Connor Frost could add insurance markers. Dylan Foulds, Keegan Bell and a second goal from Gillespie put the Saints up 6-0 at the halfway mark of the game, while Gord Phillips and Greg Lunde made it 8-0.

Contact Steve Paxon at 461-3326 and we’ll take care of all the arrangements.Free body and paint estimates.

After Langley scored its first and only goal of the game, PoCo’s Mickey Fitzpatrick, who had three points on the night, and Liam Thomas, who had a goal and an assist, rounded out the scoring for the Saints.

Game 1 in the best-of-three series was a harder fought battle for both teams, who duked it out at the PoCo Rec Centre last week.

After the lead exchanged hands several times, it took overtime to settle the game, which the Saints won 7-6 thanks to an even strength goal

by Parker Kump with 52 seconds left in extra time.

PoCo is in for a tough series

this week against Coquitlam.

While the Saints have made their way to the post season by way of a wildcard win, the Jr. Adanacs have not lost a game all year and have been locked in first place since the first week of the season.

Coquitlam has also had a chance to rest up, having not played since July 8, when they defeated the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

FIL CHAMPIONSHIP

Canada loses to U.S. in gold medal match Team Canada lost a heartbreaking final to Team USA during the FIL U19 Men’s Lacrosse World Championship at Percy Perry Stadium Saturday night.

The squad, which included Tri-City runners Ryland Rees and Thomas Semple, led 8-2 at the half and were dominant during the early parts of the game.

However, a big third quarter from the Americans put the team in position to tie the game 12-12. With eight seconds left in the final frame, Ryan Conrad cut through a pair of Canadian defenders where he buried a pass to put the U.S. up 13-12.

Canada did not have enough time to even the score.

“I’m really proud of this group,” said Team Canada

head coach Taylor Wray after the game. “I don’t think many people gave us a chance in this game, so to get the start they did and be in control for most of the game was really impressive. They should be proud of themselves.”

Several Team Canada athletes received individual honours along with their silver medals. Port Coquitlam’s Rylan Rees was named an all star along with Surrey’s Tre Leclaire and Burlington, Ont. netminder Kyle Hebert was named the tournament’s best goalie.

Canada had been on a fourgame winning streak going into Saturday’s match having bested England 24-2, Iroquois 12-9, Australia 17-3 and a second match against Iroquois 14-11.
