Smoking could cost you cash SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

Lighting up a cigarette in a Coquitlam park could soon come with a $500 fine as the city tries to curb the risk of fires during the hot, dry summer.

The city’s smoking control bylaw already prohibits smoking in public parks at any time, with violators facing a $75 fine.

But a weeks-long dry spell and record-setting heat have come with a fire hazard rating of high to extreme much earlier in the summer than usual.

“Despite public awareness on the topic, cigarette butts remain one of the leading causes of fires in

water fines could go up in Coquitlam: see page A9 parks, forests and dry grass,” said Andrea MacDonald, Coquitlam’s manager of bylaw and animal control services.

On Monday, Coquitlam council passed the first three readings of a bylaw amendment to hike the fine for smoking in a park to $500 ($400 if paid within 14 days); the amendment is scheduled for final reading July 27. see WARNINGS FIRST, page A3

EAGLE RIDGE HOSPITAL

This hospital fundraiser fits like a glove Stroke victims to benefit from new rehab equipment DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Sharlene Nickel is a warrior but you wouldn’t know it to look at her.

She’s 68, has the demeanour of your own kind grandma, loves to knit, bake, garden and play with her grandchildren.

But after a stroke last year that immobilized the left side of her body, especially her hand, Nickel had to fight back with every ounce of strength she had.

And one thing that helped was a special hand strength-

ener called a SaeboFlex, a piece of equipment that looks like something Iron Man would wear.

A strange glove composed of metal joints and plastic fingers held together with wire tensors, the SaeboFlex gave Nickel the power to fight back against the stroke’s effects. It helped her re-wire her brain so she could regain the strength in her hand.

“It was amazing how much difference it can make,” said Nickel. “In bed at night, I had no strength to grasp anything.

The arm felt like it wasn’t even part of my body.”

Twice a week at Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody, which has one of two regional rehabilitation centres in Fraser Health, Nickel would

get strapped into the device that tilts her wrist slightly and splays her fingers so she could work at flexing her joints.

Eventually, she was strong enough to grasp a ball and, after two months, had enough strength in her hand to do small household tasks.

“I can put my hand around things now, I can open my fingers all by myself with the help from that,” Nickel said.

The problem is, ERH only has the device on loan and only in a few sizes for the left hand. The hospital foundation would like to purchase an entire kit at a cost of about $20,327, and other equipment for the rehabilitation unit to make life better for patients.

warnings first, then fines continued from front page

MacDonald said bylaw officers have issued nine warning tickets to smokers since the beginning of July, when the fire risk was pushed to extreme.

Officers have already stepped up their park patrols as part of their dog enforcement blitz and will also be on the lookout for smokers. They’ll also be responding to complaints and ask residents who see someone smoking in the park to contact their bylaw enforcement office at 604-927-7387 or 604-9273085 or by email at bylaw_enforcement@coquitlam.ca.

In Port Moody, bylaw staff have been asking smokers and anyone found using a barbecue to put them out but haven’t been issuing tickets.

“We’re just making sure they’re aware of the regulations… and so far everybody’s been really receptive,” said Robyn MacLeod, PoMo’s manager of building, bylaw and licensing.

WHAT’S NEEDED The Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation is running a summer fundraising campaign to collect money to purchase equipment for the rehabilitation unit. Items needed include: • Saebo kit — $20,327 (for strengthening hand function) • SaeboStretch kit — $2,335 (hand splint for stroke patients to prevent joint damage while improving range of motion) • Saebo MyoTrac Infiniti Biofeedback — $5,647 (electrical stimulation for patients who have difficulty relaxing or shutting off the spastic muscles) • Quantum Edgepower wheelchair — $10,099 (for teaching power mobility for patients who can’t use manual wheelchairs) • Lightwriter — $9,302 (typing/writing machine that gives non-verbal patients a voice) services, says the device is a simple concept but clinical studies have shown the earlier someone receives treatment

No tickets have been issued so far in Port Coquitlam, where smoking is not prohibited in parks unless there is an event or large public gathering taking place. Should a ticket be issued for smoking in a place of public assembly, it comes with a $100

fine ($150 if not paid within 14 days). Anyone who wishes to lodge a smoking complaint can contact PoCo’s bylaw office at 604-927-5440 or bylawservices@portcoquitlam.ca. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

A fire quickly scorched part of a field at Como Lake middle school on Winslow Avenue in Coquitlam this week.

with the Saebo device, the more function they seem to regain in their arm or hand.

“There is always something

new coming out that keeps patients’ focus on their goals and maximizing their independence,” she said.

For Nickel, who is back home and working hard to regain function on the left side of her body, having hand mobility has improved her life immensely.

And while she might not be fighting bad guys like a metalclad superhero, Nickel can now grasp her bed sheets, open a door or a cupboard, grasp a plate — and even knit.

Her story may not hit the silver screen anytime soon but it’s worth telling if the campaign raises enough money so other stroke victims can benefit.

Port Moody bylaw officers have been watching the clock at Rocky Point Park now that new parking regulations are in effect.

The new rules, which added a four-hour parking limit on weekends, went into effect last week. Since July 14, officers have handed out about 50 warning tickets, according to city staff.

“On the weekends, we now have extra bylaw of-

ficers on and one stays in the park to monitor parking on the weekends,” said Robyn MacLeod, manager of building, bylaw and licensing.

At its last meeting in June, PoMo council approved a one-year trial program for parking time limits on the weekends, which adds to the existing limits in place throughout the week in order to increase vehicle turnover at Rocky Point’s various parking lots.

Council has been debating the merits of pay parking since a proposal was first tabled two years ago but has struggled in the face of competing demands from residents, visitors and businesses.

Various options were considered over the past two years, including a metered system that would provide free parking for residents who register their vehicles’ licence plates and charge $1 per hour for non-residents and metered enforcement with or without fees.

Council eventually settled on the non-metered time limits, with bylaw officers chalking tires to enforce the four-hour rule.

MacLeod said park users can expect to see tickets with fines attached starting in August, when the charge will be $50 ($25 if paid within 14 days). spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

MAILLARDVILLE HERITAGE

Restoring the past, planning the future Old house will be rebuilt, with new ones around it JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

A home built by Maillardville pioneers that, over the past few years, has become an eyesore to neighbours may soon see new life.

On Monday, the 104-yearold Maison Leblanc will be the subject of a public hearing as a result of a bid by heritage architects who want to restore the home to its original splendour.

New Westminster-based Pattison Architecture was hired

by Efran Eliyin, the owner of 1107 Cartier Ave., to redevelop the historic property and infill the yard with two new duplexes.

Already, Coquitlam city council has given first reading to heritage revitalization and designation agreements — one of about half a dozen approved for Maillardville homes over the past five years or so.

Coun. Chris Wilson, chair of the city’s Maillardville Commercial and Cultural Revitalization Advisory Committee, said council and staff are working to protect the city’s history. Currently, a new heritage strategy is being developed that would give guidelines on how to better preserve historical places. A report is due before city council next year.

“Right now, the Heritage Revitalization Agreement is the best we have,” Wilson said.

Eric Pattison of Pattison Architecture said Maison

Leblanc is his firm’s fourth project in Coquitlam “and we have more on the go in Maillardville.”

Last year’s adoption of the updated Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan plus new streetscape measures and heritage objectives have whetted the appetites of developers, said Pattison, who in 2014 restored Rocheleau Cottage (built in 1929), Maison Velay (1910) and Blue Mountain House (circa 1914).

Maillardville is unique because of its French-Canadian ties to Fraser Mills — once the biggest sawmill in the Commonwealth — and its compactness.

“It’s a treasure in the Lower Mainland,” he said.

For Maison Leblanc, his company dug into the building’s history and will be able to replicate the home as much as it can, given its deteriorating state. The home, built using Fraser Mills’ first-growth lumber, will retain its west coast Edwardian/east coast influence with a cedar shingle roof and the original colours on the exterior: gold-beige on the top, dark green below.

“It’s going to be a gem on the street,” Pattison said.

According to a conservation report, Eugene and Olivia Leblanc were among the first wave of Quebecois migrants to Maillardville in 1910. Eugene Leblanc was a sawyer — an important job on the production line — and built the family home likely using free or cheap wood supplied by Fraser Mills to its workers.

His home went up during a construction boom in

Maillardville, just as the mill was expanding and the municipal and electricity lines were being hooked up. By 1913, all the lots in the first few blocks around Laval Square had been allocated to Francophone families and an average of one Maillardville house was finished each week; up to 20 houses were being built at any time.

It appears the Leblancs never owned their property, which was bought in 1923 by the Michauds (Harmel Michaud was a logging contractor) and rented to the Leblancs. Fifteen years later, millworker Joseph Beaudet and Mary Magdalen purchased it and, in 1945, the title was with Henry Goulet, also a millworker.

Today, most of the original homes on Cartier Avenue have been demolished.

According to the city’s heritage inventory for Maillardville, the Leblancs’ neighbours’ homes at 1106 Cartier Ave. (Mullen House) and 1125 Cartier Ave. (Beaubieu House) are listed as “support buildings,” meaning they have some historical significance.

Wilson hopes the heritage home restoration happening around Maillardville will drive more commercial development to the area.

“I think it’s a chicken-andegg thing,” the councillor said.

“With the residential push, business will come.”

• The public hearing for Maison Leblanc is on Monday, July 27 at 7 p.m. at Coquitlam city hall (3000 Guildford Way).

Investigators with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) are staying tightlipped about two bodies that were discovered in a Westwood Plateau home last week.

Coquitlam RCMP were called to the Alpine Lane home on the afternoon of July 16 and subsequently reported one body was found. The following day, however, they said that two bodies were located.

Five days later, IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said investigators were still completing the identifications and had no other updates. It’s not known whether the victims were residents of the home.

The city of Coquitlam will tweak its residential zoning bylaws in an effort to contain the proliferation of large homes in older areas.

The move is a response to a recent public opinion survey, which found a majority of the respondents — just 44 people — did not want to see wholesale changes to the city’s building requirements.

Close to half (45.4%) of the respondents said only finetuning was necessary while 11.4% wanted to maintain the status quo.

Another 27.3% said density should be reduced while 4.5% called for neighbourhood specific zoning.

On Monday, council supported a recommendation that would allow staff to begin making slight adjustments to the zoning regulations for several residential categories.

The changes could lead to modifications of building size regulations and perimeter wall height. Suggested bylaw amendments are expected to come back to council in September for first reading and referral to public hearing.

The city of Port Moody has also been dealing with concerns about large homes in established neighbourhoods with its so-called “good neighbour bylaw.”

Craft breweries and distilleries are one step closer in Coquitlam.

City staff will begin a public consultation process with residents and industry stakeholders, and changes to the liquor bylaw are expected to come back to council for consideration by the end of the year.

Current regulations permit the production of alcohol but prohibit its retail sale for onsite or off-site consumption.

This means that craft breweries and brew pubs, which have exploded in popularity across the Lower Mainland in the last few years, have a harder time operating in the city, according to a staff report.

A few other issues will have to be dealt with if council moves forward with the regulation changes. For example, a staff report notes that current regulations force liquor stores to be separated by at least 300 m. Because brew pubs tend to

cluster around one another, like in east Vancouver and Port Moody, staff said it is “unclear whether the 300 m regulation could or should” apply.

“A number of liquor manufacturers, especially cottage breweries, prefer to be in close proximity to one another… and a 300 m separation between each of them because they have an on-site endorsement would not fit this business model,” said the staff report.

The public consultation process will begin in September and a list of options will be sent to residents and stakeholders to find out what options are preferred. Letters will also be sent to all of the liquor licence holders in Coquitlam and input will also be sought from industry associations.

Coquitlam is not the first municipality in the Tri-Cities to open the door to craft breweries.

Port Moody has seen two open up in the last year — the popular Yellow Dog Brewing and Moody Ales — and a third is expected in the coming months.

The two established breweries are within a block of each other and the new one — Twin Sails Brewing — will be nearby.

A celebration of Coast Salish history, culture and identity starts tomorrow (Thursday) with a talk at Douglas College in Coquitlam.

The colloquium opens with a welcoming ceremony at 9:30 a.m. that includes Kwikwetlem First Nation Coun. Ed Hall.

It will be followed with lectures about Coast Salish archeology and close at 4 p.m. with keynote speaker Bruce Granville Miller of UBC. And Juno award-winner George Leach will entertain at the Evergreen Cultural Centre that night. A Stl’atl’imx musician and actor from

The Tri-CiTy News

Summer may bring promises of backyard barbecues and picnics in the park for many but Share Family and Community Services is asking the public to Remember the Food Bank in this year’s July campaign, running this weekend at four locations.

With stockpiles of food dwindling on the food bank’s shelves, Share is hosting its summer food drive in the hopes of collecting 10,000 lb. of food and $10,000 so it can continue helping the Tri-City individuals and families who look to Share for help each week.

“We don’t want to dip into our reserves and have to buy food,” said Jake Moir, Share’s fund development officer, “but the shelves are low.”

Volunteers will be stationed at the two Tri-City Thrifty Foods locations (2662 Austin Ave., Coquitlam and 170 Brew St., Port Moody) and at two Safeways (2850 Shaughnessy St., Port Coquitlam and 2025 Lougheed Hwy., Coquitlam) on July 25 and 26 to accept food and monetary donations;

Ryan Bancroft, assistant store manager at Thrifty Foods in Port Moody, and Share fund development officer Jake Moir are asking shoppers to Remember the Food Bank for Share’s July food drive this weekend. tax receipts will be available.

Moir said while we often think to donate to the food bank during the Christmas season, it’s particularly important to do the same in the summer, when reserves really begin to shrink and when families with kids are struggling.

“We do see an increase in the number of kids using the food bank in the summer,” Moir said, since they don’t have access to their schools’ breakfast or hot lunch programs.

Children up to the age of 18 make up 36% of the food bank’s clientele, he noted.

“It’s something to keep in mind, that those families rely-

ing on the school system support don’t have access to it in the summer,” he said.

Donations that are most needed are baby items such as diapers and formula, and anything high in protein such as beans and canned fish or chicken. You can also visit www.sharesociety.ca for more giving options, including monetary donations.

Anyone who can’t make it to one of the four locations this weekend can also donate directly at the food bank (2615 Clarke St., PoMo, at rear) or at any Tri-City grocery store. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

TRI-CITY CRIME

Jail time for sex assault on bus A Coquitlam man will serve about four months in jail for the sexual assault of a teenager last year.

On the evening of Nov. 24, 2014, a 16-year-old Coquitlam girl was waiting for a bus at the

Lougheed Town Centre bus loop in Burnaby when she was approached by 49-year-old John Walter Sebela. Transit Police said he touched her and made inappropriate comments, then followed her on to

the bus and sat down beside her.

Sebela made further inappropriate comments and sexually assaulted her before getting off the bus. He was arrested at his home three days later and

charged with sexual assault.

Sebela is a known prolific offender and is on Canada’s sex offender registry, according to police.

On Monday, he was sentenced in B.C. Provincial Court

in Port Coquitlam to about four months in jail plus three years’ probation, and he must submit a DNA sample and pay a victim surcharge of $200. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

WORKER SAFETY

worksafe issues orders after an accident in JuneTHANK YOU TO OUR 2015 SPONSORS SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A private company working on the Pinetree Way enhancement project has complied with four WorkSafe BC orders after a worker was injured on the job last month.

On June 10, an employee of Wilco Civil Inc. was operating a grinder to bevel a section of PVC pipe, according to the WorkSafe report. The stone grinding wheel shattered, hitting the worker in the leg.

Coquitlam firefighters rescued the worker from the excavated area so he could be taken to hospital.

The WorkSafe inspection found the grinder stone that shattered was rated at a lower RPM than the angle

grinder being used and that the machine did not have the proper guard or protective hood in place.

Wilco Civil has complied with all four of the orders since the report was issued.

The company was awarded the contract in April for the first phase of construction on the Pinetree Way enhancement project between Lincoln Avenue and Barnet Highway, including removing and transplanting median trees, removing the west-side curb and sidewalk and drainage works.

At the time, the project involved work on a drainage pipe about two metres below the surface.

The work is expected to be finished next month.

mercial lawns but all parks, cemeteries and boulevards.

Sports fields and school yards can still be watered at minimal levels to keep them playable.

Golf courses can still water greens and tee areas but the move to stage 3 means fairways can no longer be watered.

Residents can still water shrubs, trees, vegetable and flower gardens using handheld hoses but only if they have a spring-loaded shutoff nozzle.

Watering cans and drip irrigation systems are still allowed but there’s no watering of gardens or planters using sprin-

klers or soaker hoses.

Hosing off vehicles and surfaces and all forms of pressure washing are also banned, except for health and safety purposes, as well as commercial pressure washing to prepare a surface for painting or sealing.

That means all outdoor car and boat washing is now banned except for cleaning windows, lights and licence plates for safety.

Stage 3 restrictions are expected to remain in place until Sept. 30.

GARY MCKENNA JEFF NAGEL

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam residents caught breaking Metro Vancouver’s watering rules could soon face even steeper fines.

The city is considering a proposal that would see the amount violators have to pay increase as Metro’s water restrictions move to higher levels.

Residents who water outside designated times when stage 1 restrictions are in place would still pay the current $75 fine but the number would double for stage 2 violations to $150. The fine for stage 3, which was declared by Metro Vancouver on Monday, would be $300, while stage 4 violators would be fined $500. Fines could be reduced if paid within 14 days.

“We are at a point where we are reaching unprecedented levels this year,” Mayor Richard Stewart said during Monday’s council meeting. “Never before have we had water levels this low.”

On Monday, Metro Vancouver increased the water restrictions to stage 3, banning all lawn sprinkling in the region. The decision came after the drinking water supply in Metro’s reservoirs declined again to 69% of capacity.

It is not just lawn watering violations that can lead to fines.

Stage 3 also bans refilling

unprecedented low-water conditions, it is imperative that everyone work to conserve water as much as possible,” Warriner said. “Until conditions improve with the regional water supply, this will be the priority.”

A large group of homeowners living in the wildland/urban interface areas of Coquitlam are still permitted to water their lawns during certain designated times. The relaxation only applies to specific properties, which are listed at www.coquitlam.ca/firerating.

The sprinkling ban covers not just residential and com-

Stage 3 water restrictions were imposed Monday by Metro Vancouver. That means no residential lawn sprinkling is allowed. of hot tubs, pools and garden ponds, and prohibits the washing of boats or vehicles, among other tighter restrictions on outdoor water use.

It can take up to 72 hours before individual municipalities begin enforcement.

For Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody residents, the change also means that even residents with watering exemptions for new lawns and nematode treatments will have to let their grass go brown until further notice.

“All permits that have been issued for nematode treatments are now null and void,” said Steffanie Warriner, Coquitlam’s manager of environmental services. “All residents were advised of this potential when their permits were issued.”

Over the last month, the city of Coquitlam has issued 117 new lawn permits and 492 permits for nematode application. In Port Coquitlam, 199 nematode permits have been issued while Port Moody has handed out 249 lawn watering

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to COQUITLAM, WEDNESDAY JULY 29 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

open

DANCE FLOOR

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible. Although Chapman enjoys coming to this area, she is on the look-out for someone to train for or buy the business.

OUR OPINION

Parents, time to talk e-cigs P arents now have another worry to add to bullying, late night texting and overweight kids — vaping.

Lighting up a sweettasting liquid and inhaling the vapour has been a popular pastime for some Tri-Cities youth, with accounts of students as young Grade 6 trying e-cigarettes on school property and being disciplined.

E-cigarettes or vaporizers have been on the market for over a decade but authorities are only now trying to get a handle on their use. Considered by some a valid smoking cessation device and by others a marketing scam for tobacco corporations that have invested millions in these products, ecigarettes are generating plenty of debate.

E-cigarettes containing nicotine are not legally manufactured, sold or imported in Canada but the devices and e-juice are easy to get on online

in a wide range of flavours. E-juice without nicotine is also being sold and devices that heat up the flavoured liquid, many of which look like and mimic cigarettes, are available, even at local tobacco shops.

You can’t sell them to minors, thanks to recent

changes to the Tobacco Control Act (and the RCMP will respond to complaints about this made to its non-emergency line). E-cigarettes are also banned from being used around Coquitlam civic facilities and School District 43 has added e-cigarettes to its

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

list of banned objects in its code of conduct.

But will that be enough to keep kids away when celebrities are making them popular and candyflavoured liquids are enticing them to try?

The Canadian Cancer Society reported last year that one in three high school students have tried vaping, with early middle school being a popular age to experiment.

According to Cindi Seddon, a School District 43 principal, there is a big concern among educators that e-cigs could make smoking acceptable again.

Another problem is that there isn’t enough research on the long-term impact of inhaling propylene or vegetable glycol and what effects secondhand exposure may have.

In short, we don’t know for sure if they are as safe as proponents suggest.

For now, it’s up to parents to do the research and talk to their kids — before they experiment.

PORT COQUITLAM

Regional plan needed Plenty of PoCo pride here to fight beetle battle The Editor, Re. “Hundreds of Tri-City residents will take aim at chafer beetles” (The Tri-City News, July 17).

It is interesting to note that nearly 750 nematode treatment permits have been issued so far to Tri-City residents.

Sadly, this small number of homeowners applying beneficial organic nematodes to their lawns is a far cry from being an effective way to combat chafer beetles.

Tri-City mayors and councils should put their heads together to devise a plan to collaborate with residents to eradicate the pest.

I applaud the city of Port Moody for its foresight in approving in February a program to provide a 50% subsidy to single-family homeowners on the purchase of nematodes on a two-year trial. Cost to the city is $5,000 per year, which is a mere drop in the bucket when you consider grub damage to each city’s property is estimated at several hundred

FOLLOW UP ON HOMES WITH PERMITS

The Editor, Next spring, the cities that have issued special watering permits to those treating their lawns with nematodes must follow up on every property that received a permit to determine if the process actually reduced or stopped the chafer beetle problem. I would suspect many homeowners are using this loophole to unnecessarily keep their lawns green during a period when sprinkling is severely restricted.

G.W. Baskett, Coquitlam

thousand dollars.

I challenge the mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, New West, Burnaby and other municipalities to offer the same incentive to their residents next year as this is a win-win situation to fight the beetle in an environmentally friendly way.

Simply putting a ban on pesticides won’t work as long as people can buy them from stores and the ban is realistically too costly to enforce. During the past three months, I have seen people grabbing pesticides from store shelves like hot cakes

The Editor, I would like to express my appreciation to the city of Port Coquitlam for providing the free Saturday and Sunday afternoon entertainment at Leigh Square and Lions Park.

The music and dancing have been most enjoyable!

Residents of Port Coquitlam should consider themselves lucky to have entertainment like this. I have lived in 13 Canadian towns and cities, and I like Port Coquitlam the best.

The Gathering Place, with its outdoor stage, Wilson and

Hyde Creek recreation centres, and the sports facilities are real assets to the city. I also love the gorgeous flower beds and trees that are planted on city property.

Way to go, PoCo! Lavina Shaw, Port Coquitlam

although they are not guaranteed to kill the grubs.

Beetles from untreated lawns will spread to other lawns and parks in a vicious cycle and, sadly, a handful of us are fighting a losing battle.

A case in point, the beetle was first spotted in New West in 2001 and has since spread all over the Lower Mainland.

We should all make a concerted effort to combat the chafer beetles before they make our home lawns and public parks look like battlefields.

TRI-CITY LITERACY

Take a dip this summer – into some books A GOOD READ SHARON VISSER ARAUJO

S

ummer: the season of lazy patio days and beach time. For me, summer means books that are easy to dip in and out of. I hope you enjoy the following selections…

• This Place a Stranger: Canadian Women Travelling Alone edited by Vici Johnstone: This collection tells stories of women travelling both abroad and closer to home. The stories detail the reactions people have to solo women travellers, the dangers they sometimes face and the insight they gain by being alone. Written by 23 women,

the stories are heartwarming, heart-wrenching, anxietyinducing and adventurous.

• What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by

Randall Munroe: Written by the author of the popular webcomic XKCD, What If? does exactly what the subtitle states.

The author takes a serious look at questions such as: If everyone on the planet stayed away from each other for a couple of weeks, would the common cold be wiped out? What if a glass of water was suddenly literally half empty? And my favourite, What if you tried to build a periodic table made of brick-sized chunks of each corresponding element? This is an excellent book for the scientifically curious.

• When to Rob a Bank by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner: This is another book that’s easy to dip in and out of. Steven Levitt, economist and author of Freakonomics,

took some of his most interesting and wacky blog entries and wrote a highly entertaining book. This is a great summer read, both fun and smart.

• Saved by Cake by Marian Keyes: This lovely little cookbook is not only stuffed with delicious dessert recipes, it also weaves in a bit of a story.

Keyes suffers from depression and, in her attempts to battle her disease, she turns to the kitchen. Reading Saved by Cake, it becomes clear that she is a courageous, witty woman who manages to write a lighthearted book about a very serious topic. Also, the baklava recipe is amazing.

• Between You and Me by Mary Norris: The author of the popular Eats, Shoots and Leaves returns with a new

book. Between You and Me is in turns an autobiography and grammar handbook. Norris discusses some of the most vexing problems in the English language and discusses how she handles them. She also has a lot to say about her nearly three decades working as a copy editor at the New Yorker.

It’s a lot more entertaining than a book that’s mostly about grammar has a right to be.

• My Lurid Past by Lauren Henderson: This chick-lit for grown-ups is aptly-named, fun and it has a bit of romance without being sugary sweet.

Juliet Cooper is the quintessential thirty-something urban woman. She works in food PR, which is a lot flashier than it sounds, as her biggest client is an up-and-coming celebrity

chef. Juliet isn’t in a relationship with anyone and she’s OK with that until the day that she isn’t.

The book starts with Juliet ready to embark on a brief affair with a young man. Unfortunately for Juliet, and the young man, that’s the day that she finds that short-term relationships are no longer working for her.

Confused by how she’s feeling, she talks to her best friends, Mel and Gillian. As they both have their own relationship issues, amongst the three of them, there is much to discuss.

This is an entertaining, urban romance that doesn’t end in a neatly tied bow.

Jazzed about Don, Miles JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Don Stewart had known Miles Black for a while.

But it was at an engagement that Black was playing at when his wife nudged Stewart. “You guys have got to do something together,” she suggested.

The next time the soul singer met up with the jazz pianist and composer, Black had an original tune called Be With Me; Stewart was asked to put lyrics to it.

The rest, they say, is history.

Over the past four years or so, the Vancouver musicians have produced two CDs and a third is on the way this fall.

Their last CD, called Tender Lies, was released in 2013.

It’s a match made in heaven, they say. “We are coming up with stuff all the time,” Stewart said during a phone interview with The Tri-City News last week. “When we sit down to do anything, we both seem to go to the same place. We know exactly what we’re looking for….

It’s almost like I’m thinking about something and he starts playing and and vice versa.”

Stewart added, “There’s a real love of energy and I find it kind of magical in many ways.”

Black said he enjoys reinventing older material with Stewart. “He’s very open to my wild, jazz-inspired conceptions,” Black said, “and we’re both admirers of classic soul, funk and R&B so it’s been easy working together.”

On Saturday, the pair will meet up at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre for the second show of the Music on the Grill summer series, presented by Aaargon Dental Centre.

Both musicians promise to showcase their original tunes and some fresh takes on classic material with Buff Allen, Miles Foxx Hill and Dave Say backing.

Don Stewart at the 2012 Motown Meltdown. He will perform in Coquitlam Saturday with Miles Black. remember Stewart from the last time he performed at the Evergreen in 2011, in a tribute act to Nat King Cole with Cayla Brooke as Peggy Lee. The “King” was a big influence in Stewart’s life while growing up in Ontario, where

his minister father founded four churches. The family often listened to Motown and R&B. “A lot of my inspiration for songwriting comes from my earlier days,” Stewart said.

“I can hear in my songs and music some of the lines my

father and mother used to say and sing to me.”

Black, on the other hand, grew up on Vancouver Island but he also holds strong jazz and R&B roots. Since moving to Vancouver in 1987, Black has gained a solid reputation and

collaborated with many established artists — most notably singer Glenda Rae. But Saturday night’s Music on the Grill show will have an eclectic mix, also featuring a young artist emerging on the Canadian music scene.

Opening for Stewart and Black will be Kiérah, a Celtic fiddler who has gained acclaim for her folk CD Stonemason’s Daughter. She’ll be joined by Andy Hillhouse, who is best known for his work with the Celtic funk band Mad Pudding.

A Juno award winner with his other group, The McDades, Hillhouse is also known for his partnerships, namely with Canadian fiddle legend Pierre Schryer and Irish piper Paddy Keenan.

• Tickets for Music on the Grill with Don Stewart and Miles Black headlining are $55 for the dinner and concert, or $35 for the show only. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. with the concert at 8 p.m. in the Evergreen Cultural Centre theatre (1205 Pinetree Way).

PORT MOODY ARTS CENTRE

The art world of Benetton lands in pomo JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

An ambitious undertaking to gather artwork from every region around the world will be the subject of a talk in Port Moody next week.

Toronto curator Jennifer Karch Verzè has been assigned to collate the Western Canada portion for Imago Mundi — a non-profit, cultural project created by Luciano Benetton, the

founder of the Italian clothing brand the Benetton Group.

Besides her talk in the City of the Arts next Wednesday, Karch Verzè will also be receiving at least 50 pieces collected

by Janice Cotter, the visual arts co-ordinator for the Port Moody Arts Centre. In April, PMAC put a call out to artists and distributed the canvasses supplied by Imago Mundi.

In total, Karch Verzè hopes to gain about 210 artworks

from emerging and professional artists as a result of her Western Canadian tour this summer. The works — each measuring 3.9 x 4.7 inches — will be documented for a catalogue and exhibited for international audiences.

What’s best about Imago Mundi is that artists have been given free rein. “It’s totally open,” Karch Verzè told The Tri-City News last week.

“Anyone can do whatever they

want. We want the best from the west.”

Still, she hopes to collect work that’s varied, in subject matter and media.

Once all the canvasses are received, Karch Verzè has a big job ahead of her. She’s required to write biographies on every participating artist and research their backgrounds, send the text and photographs to the Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche for editing, and

proof the final product before publication.

Afterward, she’ll be responsible for distributing the catalogues to the artists (another curator is handling eastern Canada for a separate edition).

“I don’t know if anybody has ever documented all the contemporary work of Canada before,” she said. “It’s something unique.”

Already, Karch Verzè has compiled catalogues on

Contemporary Art of Namibia and Contemporary Art of North American Indigenous Artists. So far, Imago Mundi has mapped more than 43 collections in 71 countries; its goal is to collect works from every country by next year. “It’s art of the world, for the world,” Karch Verzè said.

• Jennifer Karch Verzè will be at the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. John’s St.) on July 29 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Dave is a fictional 25-yearold working man who lives with his girlfriend.

From the outside, his life is sweet but Dave has a secret and is in denial about what lies ahead. Dave is developing symptoms of a chronic progressive disease that affects one out of every 100 Canadians, making it the leading cause of disability in the country: Rheumatoid arthritis.

To put a face to the voices in Dave’s head, Otto Kamensek — the Port Moody Art Centre’s ceramic-artist-in-residence, who at the age of nine was diagnosed with what is known today as juvenile idiopathic arthritis — created a dozen clay characters.

There’s General E. Mune, who goes into battle when under attack — usually “at the most inopportune times, just

so heavy so I wanted to bring in some comedy and to raise awareness about what millions of Canadians go through.”

An Emeritus member of the Consumer Advisory Board of the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada, Kamensek said he hopes to create a short film with his clay pieces that would see Dave being forced to make a decision and seek help in the end.

Kamensek’s work has gained worldwide attention. This fall in Vancouver, he will speak and show some of his art pieces at an international conference titled Where’s the Patient’s Voice in Health Professional Education?

Also opening July 23 at 6 p.m. is Double Life, a group show by Kimberly Blackstock, Laurel Swenson, Melanie Ellery,Rebecca Marks, Kelly Brooks and Tannis Hopkins.

like in real life,” Kamensek said.

There’s the neanderthal character, who displays the core emotions of pain, anger and happiness and expresses the physical toll of arthritis.

And there are the professionals, too: a police officer, a doctor, a scientist; however, there’s also a criminal and a female hockey player, to demonstrate the proud Canadian athlete in all of us, he said.

Kamensek also has a streetwise waitress to represent the voice of reason — for example, when patients hear about hare-brained “medical” schemes — and there’s a little boy, a symbol of innocence. As well, Kamensek has thrown in a potter (the artist) as well as a clown for good measure.

“I wanted to bring humour to this subject,” he said of his exhibit called Dave, An Unexpected Tale, which opens tomorrow (Thursday) at PMAC. “My last show was

ARTS IN BRIEF

Teens play out Hansel and Gretel at parks Six young thespians have been cast in this summer’s teen theatre troupe at Place des Arts.

They beat out 30 candidates who auditioned for a part with the Coquitlam performance group, which is now in its second year.

Under the direction of James MacDonald — and with a grant from the Coquitlam Maillardville Heritage Trust — they will put on free public shows of Hansel and Gretel: The Musical at local parks during the last week of July; they will also have a special show for the kids at Ronald McDonald House.

Playing Gretel (and taking on the role of musical director) is Kirsten Kwong, a Centennial secondary grad who has been accepted to Sheridan College this fall.

Connor Briggs of Dr. Charles Best secondary is Hansel while Lily Hamilton, a New Westminster resident and Grade 12 student at Templeton secondary, is the sorceress and wolf.

Maria Yanigasawa, a Best grad who will study theatre at SFU this fall, is the step-mother and princess and Max Smith, also of Best, plays the father and crow. Finally, Dominic Cunningham of Gleneagle secondary will portray the hero, dragon and crow.

Their shows are: • July 27 (Vanier Centre Park at 10:30 a.m.); • July 28 (Vanier Centre Park at 10:30 a.m. and Mackin Park at 1 p.m.); • July 29 (Mackin Park at 1:30 p.m.); • July 30 (Blue Mountain Park at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m.); • and July 31 (Vanier Centre Park at 10:30 a.m. and Place des Arts at 3:45 p.m.).

PAN AM GAMES

Medals for Glaesser, Kudaba at Pan Am GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Jasmine Glaesser’s trophy case got a little more crowded last weekend.

The Coquitlam cyclist won a gold medal with Team Canada in the women’s pursuit competition and took home a silver in the women’s omnium at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto.

Glaesser and teammates Allison Beveridge, Laura Brown and Kirsti Lay topped their heat in the qualification race, finishing less than a second faster than Team U.S.A. However, the team placed second in the first round, but defeated Cuba in their heat, giving Canada a strong position for the final race on Friday.

With the competition down to eight teams, Glaesser and company executed a perfect race in the finals, defeating their closest competition — the Americans — by close to seven seconds.

“So proud of the whole team leaving it all out on the boards yesterday,” she tweeted after the race.

But despite the strong effort during the team event, Glaesser did not appear tired when she competed in the women’s omnium event the next day.

She finished the race with 44 points, good enough for second place, behind American Sarah Hammer and ahead of Mexico’s Lizbeth Salazar.

Glaesser was not the only Tri-City athlete to pick up a medal at the Pan Am Games last week.

Port Coquitlam’s Constantine Kudaba and the Canadian water polo team grabbed a bronze medal

CONSTANTINE KUDABA after defeating Argentina at the Pan American Games on Wednesday.

Kudaba, who scored one in the 16-8 victory, tweeted that the team is now heading to Kazan, Russia, to compete in the Federation Internationale de Natation world championships.

Team Canada’s men’s water polo squad got off to a bumpy start at the Pan Am Games.

The club fell to Brazil 11-9 in the first match, but bounced back in the second match two days later with a 16-2 victory over Venezuela, before beating Mexico 19-9 last Saturday.

That set the stage for a showdown against the eventual gold medal winners, Team U.S.A. Despite a strong effort from Kudaba and his teammates, Canada fell to the Americans 9-8 in a heartbreaking loss Monday night.

However, Canada was able to pull off the bronze medal win Wednesday, adding to the country’s medal total of 98.

This is not the first time Kudaba has had success in international competition.

He and his team walked away with a silver medal at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara and he won a bronze in Rio in 2007. sports@tricitynews.com

Port Coquitlam Saints defenseman Luke Lehtimaki will join Team Finland at the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships in Syracuse, New York, in September.

WORLD LAX CHAMPIONSHIPS

‘They were looking for Finnish names and I guess they saw mine’ Lehtimaki joins Finland for world lacrosse tourney GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

When Luke Lehtimaki dreamed of playing in the World Lacrosse Championships, he usually pictured himself wearing the red and white Team Canada jersey.

But when he got a call from Team Finland asking him to don the blue and white nordic cross and join the club this summer, the Port Coquitlam Saints player couldn’t say no.

“I am flabbergasted,” he told The Tri-City News. “I don’t even know what to

think. I have no idea what I am in for.”

Now, Lehtimaki is getting ready for his first overseas visit, heading to the country his grandfather moved away from many years ago.

The trip begins in Turku — Finland’s oldest city — where the 20-year-old lacrosse player will meet his adopted team and begin training.

He admits that he doesn’t know a lot about Finland, but will be bringing his grandfather along to help navigate the country and see some of the sights.

The trans-Atlantic flight will not be the only air miles Lehtimaki accrues this summer. He will continue training with the Finnish club in Toronto next month before the team gears up for

the 2015 FIL World Indoor Championship in Syracruse, New York, in September.

The opportunity to play in the tournament has upended Lehtimaki’s summer plans.

He initially planned to play out the schedule with the Saints, where he racked up 10 points in 19 games this season, before heading to Calgary, where he studies civil engineering at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology.

Lehtimaki isn’t even entirely sure how he came up on Team Finland’s radar.

“I guess they look at B.C. junior A rosters,” he said. “They were looking for Finnish names and I guess they saw mine.”

is the provincial field lacrosse championships, which his team won three years in a row.

At the worlds, he said it will be interesting to square off against Team Canada, which could potentially feature players he has seen before.

But he is quick to note that he does not mind playing his home country — in fact, he said he is going to relish the opportunity.

“It will be even better,” he said. “I think it will mean more to me.”

He’s also excited to see how he performs at a world championship against some of the toughest competition he has ever seen.

“Of course you want to play at the world level,” he said. “I didn’t think I’d ever get the opportunity to do it.”

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are off to the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League finals after defeating the New Westminster Salmonbellies last weekend.

BCJALL

Jr. A’s finish sweep, get ready for finals A’s will take on Delta tonight in Game 1 of finals GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs will begin their quest for a seventh consecutive B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League banner when the Delta Islanders visit the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex tonight.

Coquitlam had been waiting since last week, when the team finished off the sweep of the New Westminster Salmonbellies to find out who they would be playing in the finals.

The A’s got their answer

on Saturday night, when Delta dispatched the Victoria Shamrocks, defeating the higher seeded team 11-7 at the Panorama Recreation Centre.

Coquitlam has been on a roll throughout the playoffs and haven’t lost a game since May. Last Wednesday’s victory over the New Westminster Salmonbellies is the closest the team has come to losing one in weeks.

The Bellies drew first blood when Jeremy Bosher buried a pass from Owner Barker, but Coquitlam came back with four unanswered markers to take a 4-1 lead early in the second period.

New West began to climb out of the hole they dug themselves, largely thanks to the play of Bosher, and man-

aged to take a lead midway through the third with a power play marker from Connor Robinson.

Tyler Pace tied things up with a goal for Coquitlam but New West quickly retook the lead.

That is when Cole Shafer, who had yet to notch a tally during the game, took the game on his shoulders for the Adanacs.

He made it 8-8 with two minutes left in the game and scored two more in overtime to put the game out of reach for the Bellies, eliminating New Westminster from the playoffs.

Game 1 of the BCJALL finals will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Go to www.bcjall. com for more information.

up on Kootenay South in a 9-0 romp.

Terrace did a good job of containing PoCo in the semifinals, but could not find a way to put the ball past goalkeeper Mackenzie Frizzell, who was perfect in the 2-0 victory which paved the way for the final showdown against Prospect Lake.

Julia Watkins, Grace Jorgenson, Vanessa Gareau, and Rachel Lambert were impenetrable on the back line, while Hannah Gjaltema, Makayla Crenshaw, Chelan Slater and Kaitlynn Blais were dangerous on the wings.

Irvine, Kennedy Blair, Mya Thomas and Adrien Klein were tireless in the middle and Lenton and Kelsey Stewart were lethal finishers.

The PoCo Euro-Rite FC Castilians are provincial champions after defeating Prospect Lake in a 4-1 victory at the under-13 finals in Nelson last weekend.

PoCo’s Jade Lenton dominated the match, scoring a natural hat trick to put the game out of reach for the Vancouver Island opponents. Teammate Isabella Irvine added a fourth for the Castilians, who only allowed one goal in the match.

On the way to the finals, the junior team trounced their opponents, downing Quesnel 5-1, before beating

U14

The under-14 PoCo FC Castilians also saw some success at the provincials last week, coming up just short of winning in the finals.

The team had been rolling during round-robin play, defeated Delta 3-1, Kamloops 2-0 and Vancouver 2-0.

That set the stage for a final game against Delta, which was a tightly played affair with neither side able to gain the lead.

The game stayed at 0-0 until the refs gave Delta a penalty shot, which the club was able to bury to win the game 1-0.

The under-14 Castilians were Coastal Cup champions and only lost two games all season. sports@tricitynews.com
