BLUEBERRIES & BUSINESS IN POCO

From berries to wine DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam entrepreneur is bullish on blueberries after Canada inked a deal with China allowing the export of highbush, non-wild blueberries.

William Wang, who owns blueberry farms in Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, says wealthy people in China will pay top dollar for Canadian blueberries but believes there is even more money to be made in processing blueberries for wine and jam.

“More and more people are demanding blueberries because they are good for the eyes and heart,” said Wang, who is also a tai chi master and has a passion for healthy living.

ILLICIT DRUGS

Naloxone being deployed to help save lives PoCo firefighters’ training came just in time to use it

SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

Fraser Health is ramping up its strategy to combat a growing

epidemic of drug overdoses in the region by increasing the administration of and accessibility to naloxone at local emergency departments and through first

responders.

“There is no single solution to the public health emergency we are facing,” Dr. Victoria Lee, chief medical health officer,

said early this week in response to a rash of fentanyl overdoses.

Last week, five people in a Coquitlam home were found to have overdosed, though it wasn’t

confirmed whether fentanyl was involved, and last weekend, Surrey saw 36 overdoses. see TAKE-HOME KITS, page 11

FUNDRAISER FOR BOOKS & SCHOOL

From PoCo to Haiti with helping hands Plans for a quiet, comfy retirement changed in Haiti SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A Port Coquitlam woman is hoping to drum up support for a school she is running on the west coast of Haiti with a GoFundMe page.

The online fundraiser has already brought in enough money to buy textbooks for students but Linda Brooks said she plans to keep the page active to raise funds for much-needed repairs for the school in Dame Marie, a city of about 40,000.

“I’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity of people around the world,” Brooks said.

“I would like to put doors and windows on the school, and build lock boxes so the books don’t get stolen.”

Such efforts come as a bit of a surprise to Brooks, who before 2013 had no plans to operate a school in a developing country.

But she and her partner, Craig Breckenridge, were convinced to join his sister for a Christmas holiday in 2013, a trip that radically altered the couple’s retirement plans.

“We went and kind of fell in love with the place,” Brooks said. “Six months later, we

We sold everything,” including the new home they had lived in since November 2012.

But the timing was right.

Brooks had been off work due to a workplace injury and it seemed a good time for Breckenridge to retire from PoCo’s Dynamic Structures, where he was the lead designer on the Thirty Metre Telescope (TMT). (The federal government was not providing the $200 million in funding it had

committed to the multinational project, putting its future in doubt.)

Brooks said family and friends thought they were “crazy” and asked why they didn’t just donate money to a local aid organization, but the trip to Haiti had affected them deeply and they simply couldn’t reconcile the relatively luxurious lifestyle they were living in the Lower Mainland with the extreme poverty they’d left behind.

“And the people are so happy,” Brooks said. “They go around singing and they may not have eaten for two days, but they’re so grateful.”

They returned for good in July 2014 and now live in Dame Marie semi-permanently (Breckenridge has returned to work at Dynamic Structures following a spring 2015 announcement that Canada would fund the TMT).

Brooks, who had been an educational assistant in

Richmond, took over running the school of about 100 students in Grades 1 to 6 last summer.

She has negotiated contracts for teachers, who hadn’t been paid in three years, and has met her textbook fundraising goal of

$3,500, but is hoping more can be raised to fix the school itself.

FUNDRAISER FOR CANCER RESEARCH

Kick for a Cure tomorrow in Coquitlam Annual soccer event helps BCCH Cuccione program JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

Thousands of soccer players and fans are expected for a major festival tomorrow (Saturday) in aid of a Coquitlam-based charity that raises funds for paediatric cancer research.

The eighth annual Kick for a Cure begins at 9 a.m. at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park, with proceeds going to the Michael Cuccione Childhood Cancer Research Program at BC Children’s Hospital.

Spokesperson Gloria Cuccione said the festival has

raised more than $500,000 to date. It was started by Port Moody resident Nuvin Runghen in response to his young son’s cancer diagnosis; today, Domenic, now 12, is cancer free and on the youth select team for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Cuccione, whose son beat cancer twice — and became a well-known cancer crusader — but died in 2001 from complications related to the disease and a car crash, said, “While we’ve got a long way to go, we have to look at how far we have come. I believe Michael would have made it today because of the progress happening.”

Bob Lenarduzzi, president of the Vancouver Whitecaps, is this year’s Kick spokesperson and will open the event at around 1 p.m.

Cuccione said more teams will be on the field than ever

before, including for the adult tournament, youth friendly matches and kids’ clinics, the latter two run by the Coquitlam Metro Ford Soccer Club Academy coaches and Whitecaps club members.

As well, there will be a youth invitational to honour Domenic Mobilio, the late Whitecaps player, local coach and a cousin of Michael Cuccione.

As of Thursday, the eighth Kick for a Cure had brought in more than $86,000.

• Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, Kick for a Cure is an all-day event on July 23 at Percy Perry Stadium (1299 Pinetree Way) and includes the Canadian Tire Family Fun Zone, prizes and a beer garden.

Vaping and e-cigarettes are becoming more popular.

COQUITLAM

Coq. matching prov. e-cig rules GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Business owners and building operators in Coquitlam have until the end of the year to update their no smoking signs to reflect new rules around ecigarettes that prohibit vaping in most public places.

Starting in September, vaping will be prohibited in all buildings other than private dwellings and certain hotel rooms as well as in: vehicles for hire, transit shelters, parks, places of public assembly and customer service areas, including restaurant patios. Vaping in places of employment will also be banned.

“In other words, the proposed amendments will prohibit ‘vaping’ in all of the same places as the smoking of cigarettes and other tobacco products,” said a city staff report.

Coquitlam is in the process of updating its smoking regulations to align with changes made at the provincial level.

The city posted “no vaping” signs at its facilities in 2015 and said templates for the sign designs would be available for

download for free from the city website.

The staff report noted that the signs must be posted by the end of the year and not Sept. 1, when the bylaw goes into effect in order to “provide owners and occupiers a reasonable period in which to come into compliance.”

The provincial regulations essentially treat e-cigarettes like regular cigarettes, prohibiting their use in all public buildings, public vehicles and workplaces. They also restrict the retail display of e-cigarettes and vapour products, similar to tobacco products.

E-cigarettes have exploded in popularity in the last few years but the products remain controversial. The Canadian Cancer Society states that vaping can help someone quit traditional cigarettes but that the long-term health impacts are still unknown. It has called on the government to increase regulations on e-cigarettes and prevent the marketing of vapour products, particularly to minors. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Like any old truck, it needs to be serviced, Parker said, but the pumping apparatus is in fine condition and working as well as it did nearly 30 years ago.

It’s not the first donation PoMo has made to Firefighters Without Borders. Previous donations include a 1989 GMC/ Isuzu rescue truck and other equipment that was shipped in January 2011 and continues to serve as a command unit in central Lima. Additional equipment has been donated in each of the past five years.

Coquitlam’s City Centre Aquatic Complex will but shutting its doors between Aug. 22 and Sept. 18 for annual maintenance.

According to a city press release, the work will include interior painting, roof replacement, concrete sidewalk renewal and parking improvements that will see approximately 60 new stalls added to the site. Some tree and brush removal is also included in the work and the city said it has hired an arborist to “reduce the impact to trees where possible.”

Nineteen of the new stalls will be located on the north side of the road leading into to the facility while approximately 40 stalls will be added to the southeast portion of the property between the current lot and Guildford Way. Mark Zaborniak, the city’s manager of design and construction, said most of the trees on the property will be saved.

On the north side, a new sidewalk will go around six existing trees while a large fir and cedar will be preserved on the south side, with new landscaping and trees being added to the site.

He added that the new stalls will alleviate some of the parking pressures in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Night commuters be warned: Paving work will start Monday on Pinetree Way in Coquitlam.

The road work will begin July 25 and last until the third week of August, depending on weather, and will happen from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

“This work can be done much more quickly in the evenings when traffic volumes are lower,” according to a city press release. “Steps will be taken to reduce the noise impacts in the residential areas.”

Contractor Jack Cewe Ltd. will start on the northbound (east side) lanes first; southbound lanes will follow.

While the pool and cafe will be closed for the duration of the maintenance, the fitness centre and front desk will only be closed between Aug. 22 and 29.

During this time, there will be no access to the CCAC parking lot, although street parking will be available for patients going to Eagle Ridge Aquatic Centre Physiotherapy.

Construction is expected to take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. weekdays, and some Saturday work may be required.

The city said the mid-Septem-

ber completion is just in time for the Coquitlam 2016 55+ B.C. Games.

Despite the CCAC closure, there are still opportunities to swim in the city. Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St.) will remain open between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily while length swimming will be available at Eagle Ridge outdoor pool (2689 Guildford Way) between Aug. 22 and Sept. 23.

PORT COQUITLAM

Lagoon area will become nature park JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam will build a nature park — not a people’s park — around the Blakeburn lagoons, the city announced this week at an information session for the residents in the north-side neighbourhood where the lagoons are located.

And the new green space that’s due to open at the end of next year will also include an area dedicated to honour women who have experienced, or have been lost to, violence.

The reflection garden comes as a result of a campaign by PoCo resident Jami Watson Roberts, who wants the municipality to build an official memorial to the victims of PoCo serial killer Robert Pickton, who lived — and committed his crimes — nearby.

Yesterday, Watson Roberts told The Tri-City News the reflective space — to be located on the east side of the east lagoon — doesn’t go far enough as she wanted a site specifically for the Pickton dead or for all missing women across the country.

“That was the whole reason for this: I want an act of recognition for them,” she said.

At 27 acres and located east of Blakeburn elementary school, the new Blakeburn Lagoons Park will see the two former waste settling ponds reshaped to include boardwalks, walking trails, a picnic area and a wildlife habitat island.

Portions of the lagoon will be dredged to create islands while contaminated soil will be covered up with new material, according to the city.

“Based on the feedback we received, Blakeburn Lagoons Park will be a natural oasis for the entire community to enjoy, and the elements of the park reflect that,” Mayor Greg Moore said in a news release, adding, “Within that serene setting will be a designated space where people can reflect on important matters or decisions in their lives and honour those no longer with us, including those lost to violence. We want this reflective healing space to benefit as many people as possible.”

Last year, a $1.9-million grant from the federal and provincial governments allowed the city to move forward with the $3-million rehabilitation project.

Some 130 people attended the city information session on Tuesday at Blakeburn elementary to review the nature park design. The alternate, a people’s park concept that saw more access to the water and more amenities, was rejected by the majority of attendees at a May open house.

ILLICIT DRUGS

Take-home kits ready continued from front page

“It is a complex concern that requires a multi-faceted approach to prevent overdoses, encourage supervised consumption and provide treatment options,” Lee said.

The strategy began last fall, when Fraser Health increased the number of take-home naloxone kits to patients attending emergency rooms for overdoses. All 12 Fraser Health ERs are now equipped to dispense take-home naloxone kits.

From January to May of this year, 857 take-home kits were dispensed in ERs throughout the region, 10 times what were issued in the same time in 2015.

A BC Centre for Disease Control representative said Eagle Ridge Hospital is a fairly new addition to the program and has not yet dispensed any of the kits.

Local first responders are also being armed with the opioid antidote.

Port Coquitlam fire fighters were trained to administer injectable naloxone about two months ago, shortly after crews in Vancouver and Surrey.

“It’s paid huge dividends already,” said Chief Nick Delmonico. “We’ve used it probably 10 or 12 times in the last couple of months. There were two or three in just one week, and we had one the minute we finished training — we finished it at 6 p.m. and at 7:30

p.m., the crew went out on a call and used it.”

Coquitlam Fire Rescue Chief Wade Pierlot said his department is monitoring the situation closely but hasn’t seen a strong need for it yet.

“Our fire crews have always had the ability to use the bag valve mask… to keep people breathing,” he added, noting a similar strategy was used in his days as a firefighter in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside when responding to widespread heroin overdoses.

“We have the ability to maintain life without naloxone… and many facilities that we’re called to already have it as well,” Pierlot said, noting the homeless shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. is equipped to deliver naloxone.

Having first responders such as police and fire fighters deliver naloxone at the scene can also be a bit tricky, Pierlot said, since the fentanyl appears to be getting stronger and requiring multiple applications of the antidote or having it delivered in a hospital setting, “so we’re still just keeping breathing… we’re still waiting for the ambulance because any overdose has to go to the hospital.”

Still, Pierlot noted Coquitlam crews can be trained within about two weeks in the naloxone regimen if necessary.

Port Moody Fire Rescue is in the midst of its training, after which all crews will be able to administer the drug and expect

to be fully operational by the end of the summer, said Deputy Chief Gord Parker.

Port Moody Police officers will be equipped with the nasal spray version of naloxone, but only for personal use should they or another officer need it after coming into contact with fentanyl, said Chief Const. Chris Rattenbury.

“Regarding administering to the public, I am not sure yet what those kits would look like.

Discussion amongst many of the police departments has been around the intranasal spray again, so then that would just require some policy/ protocols to be put in place,” Rattenbury said in an email to The Tri-City News. “However, should we decide to look at the injectable kits, then that would definitely require a more substantial training program.”

Speaking for Coquitlam RCMP, Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of E Division Communication Services said the Mounties are reviewing the policy of RCMP officers carrying and administering naloxone “and the implication for both police officer and public safety.”

In the coming months, Fraser Health will be implementing a campaign to target at-risk populations, including seasoned and recreational drug users, curious or at-risk users and their friends and family.

OUR OPINION

Teardown & out

H

aving decided they’ve seen too many older apartments demolished to make way for condos, housing activists in the Metrotown area have been occupying buildings slated for the wrecking ball.

With vacancy rates at less than 1% and rents skyrocketing, there’s just nowhere for these folks to go. They’re the people who cut hair, serve food and work in IT — virtually anyone who can’t afford a $500,000 condo.

Largely forgotten in this crisis is that almost all of the old apartments we now consider affordable were built in the 1960s and ’70s with the aid of federal construction subsidies and tax incentives. With those programs cancelled in the 1980s, our lack of rental housing has reached a crisis point. Thus, every time a walk-up gets knocked down, it isn’t just the homes of longtime residents that are being lost. It’s also the vanishing of an investment Canadians made to ensure our communities had room for people who aren’t wealthy.

The federal government has pledged to develop a national housing strategy and we urge it to move expeditiously because the people in these old walk-ups are quickly running out of time.

PROVINCIAL POLITICS

FOGs and donors dominate provincial gov. appointments AS I SEE IT

nother vacancy in a public boardroom and another BC Liberal party supporter ready and willing to fill it.

News that Frank Carson, a partner at Victoria law firm Cox, Taylor, was appointed chair of BC Transit’s board of directors earlier this month was met with the expected cynicism. Carson has been described as well-connected to the BC Liberals. His wife is executive director of the BC Liberal caucus.

One upside with his new post is he can comfortably talk shop with sympathetic colleagues at the office. Four of the other 13 lawyers at Cox, Taylor are also recipients of B.C. government appointments. What are the odds?

Given that there are likely thousands of qualified candidates in B.C., the government seems surprisingly short of nominees.

You would have thought BC Hydro president and CEO Jessica McDonald already had her hands full with Site C, yet she’s also the vice-chair of the board at ICBC. In 2014, she was paid $13,959 in fees for attending five ICBC meetings over six months. Salary top-ups are catching on.

Joining her on the ICBC board are former MLAs Barry

TC

Penner and Sheila Orr, who, between them, sit on five public boards. Nine other former MLAs are on the appointee gravy train as well.

While the government may be short of prospective candidates, it’s not short of boards. They’re a patronage trough. Seats on the boards of more than 300 public agencies are available as rewards for a BC Liberal donor or friend of government (FOG).

Looking at 33 of them — including the BC Lottery corporation, PAVCO, the province’s six health authorities, the Vancouver Police Board, three universities and two airport authorities — at least 166 of the 248 board members are party donors or FOGs. Fifty-eight individuals sit on the boards of the provincial health authority and its five regional authorities, and 35 are donors while two others are FOGs. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, they received a total of $897,142 in retainers, fees and expenses. Only one — Wynne Powell — didn’t accept his pay.

Among their ranks are a car dealer, the director of communications for BC LNG Alliance, a former CEO of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC, a crossborder tax consultant and four property developers.

Just seven of the 58 have a background in health care.

And these are not titular positions.

Under the Hospital Act, the boards are “ultimately responsible for approving physician privileges.”

As a 2012 KPMG report for the B.C. health ministry pointed out: “Although boards receive reports and approve privileges, most directors noted that they had to have a high level of trust that the processes within the authority were being followed… [but] there is little evidence, by way of audit or similar routine checks, to give boards comfort that these processes have been followed.”

Not all the boards are stacked, likely more by legislative necessity than desire.

The Organized Crime Agency of BC is bereft of donors.

Others are entirely overseen by senior public employees, such as the BC Immigrant Investment Fund. And some boards have highly qualified individuals in the right role.

But too many are stacked, and the potential checks and balances they could provide fall by the wayside.

And there are some odd matches among the appointments. Perhaps it was an attempt at dark humour to appoint a coroner to the Agricultural Land Commission, albeit a coroner with dairy experience?

GAS STATION DEBATE

EDUCATION FUNDING

Solution: Let money Coq. drivers should get follow the students choice of self-, full-serve The Editor, Re. “Sheltering private schools while undermining public” (Opinion, The TriCity News, July 6).

In The Tri-City News’ editorial, an opinion is expressed to eliminate a parent’s choice of schooling under the guise of unfair tax breaks — i.e., public versus private.

Choice of schooling made by certain parents can be in response to a better product being offered, and the elimination of tax breaks would not reverse the trend where parents opt for private or home schooling.

Contrary to the poll referred to in the editorial that reportedly showed British Columbians don’t support tax money going to private schools, this seems to conflict with increasing enrolment at private schools.

But if the tax break concerns become a major issue,

The Editor, Re. “Chevron pushing on city’s regs re. self-serve stations” (The Tri-City News, July 8).

I agree wholeheartedly that the city of Coquitlam should provide its residents with the choice of whether to pump their own gas.

Most stations do not have adequate staff on duty to provide this service during the busy times of day, which can result in

long lineups for gas. As a result, I usually make sure to fill up outside of Coquitlam to avoid this needless inconvenience.

As far as I’m aware, other cities provide the option of fullserve gas for those who need it.

As far as any jobs created by full-serve gas, I would suspect that they are low-paying, which is typical for services that most people simply don’t require.

At the end of the day, why not provide both options and let the consumer decide which they prefer?

“Choice of schooling made by certain parents can be in response to a better product being offered,” says the letter writer. there are possible solutions to consider. For example, eliminate the tax break but then allow the money to follow the student. At this point in time, parents with children attending private schools basically pay for education twice (private school tuition fees plus public school taxes via property taxes).

With regard to the neverending problem of funding in the public system, the private system seems to manage itself better and keep a balanced budget.

Furthermore, the private system also manages to successfully self-fund all building projects.

In his letter, Mr. Lepp chastises Port Moody’s mayor and council for approving the potash shed at Pacific Coast Terminals.

I understand Mr. Lepp’s

misunderstanding of the process but city council does not approve PCT projects, Port Metro Vancouver does.

May I also say that while the big shed creates an eyesore for some, it also creates 300 construction jobs, 60 full-time jobs (approximately twice the current number) and, when fully

operational, will put up to $2 million into city coffers — that represents more than 5% of our total taxation.

A better question to city council would be: “How are they going to use that money to make this a better community?”

COQUITLAM

Survey says... transportation still top topic GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Transportation is the most important issue — still — facing Coquitlam residents but social issues such as housing affordability have moved up the list, according to a recent Ipsos Reid survey conducted for the city.

Catherine Knaus, a director with the polling company, said 17% of respondents listed social issues as their number one concern — up from 8% last year and higher than the 11% provincewide average. She added that

ongoing media coverage surrounding problems with housing affordability in the region could be driving the results.

“The survey is picking up on that,” Knaus told Coquitlam council Monday evening.

But transportation still remains respondents’ top concern.

The poll showed the issue was mentioned by 35% of respondents, down slightly from 39% last year but still higher than the province-wide average of 32%.

Respondents were also asked

to select what they thought was the most important transportation issue facing the city: 36% selected the quality and level of public transportation while 31% listed traffic and congestion.

Overall, residents appeared to be satisfied with municipal services, with 98% reporting a good quality of life.

Another 97% of respondents said they were happy with the level and quality of services provided by the city and 86% of respondents said they received good value for their tax dollars. Only 12% stated that they

receive poor value for their tax dollars while 1% said they did not know.

The survey was conducted between May 4 and 13 and sampled 500 adult Coquitlam residents and is considered accurate by +/-4.4%, 19 times out of 20.

Knaus said that certain demographics, including neighbourhood, age and gender composition, are weighted differently to align with Statistics Canada census data. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

SUMMER OF SAVINGS SALES EVENT CAR SHOW

1950s van a big attraction at Sat. event SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

When Mort Hall of Coquitlam-based White and Peters Ltd. gave the thumbs up to buy a 1950s bread truck, he figured the vehicle, once overhauled, would nicely mark the company’s 50th anniversary.

Jump ahead a few years and that truck — now valued at $248,000 — will be on display Saturday at the Ultimate Car Show at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam. The overhaul by 360 Fabrication Inc. covered the vehicle from stem to stern, inside and out, and now resembles more of a party bus than a bread delivery truck.

“I had the final say on it but I kind of let them do what they needed to do,” Hall said. “It all seemed to work out very well.”

It almost didn’t happen, however.

“We found this truck but when we got the approval from White and Peters, somebody else had already bought it,” said Rick Francoeur, owner of 360 Fabrication and host of the car show. “We had to quickly go into negotiation mode and buy it back from them.”

Sixty-year-old delivery trucks are a rare, hot-ticket item, Francoeur said. They “last forever” and the aluminum body means they don’t rust, but “they don’t look too pretty when you first get them.”

The project, which was

started in 2012, took about seven months to complete and included a new power train, Art Morrison chassis, a 383 motor with 400 horsepower and fourwheel disc brakes.

The interior was done up in a 1950s diner theme, with a wide banquette and topped off with a “crazy, crazy sound system.”

The exterior doesn’t look too shabby either.

It’s bright blue but car connoisseurs will appreciate that it’s the first vehicle in North America to be painted in waterborne candy — a top-tier version of the eco-friendly automotive paint similar to applying six to eight coats of colour.

“It has way more depth to it,” Francoeur said. “It’s pretty cool stuff but it’s hard to use. Most painters are scared of it.”

Hall is hoping the bidders won’t be too scared of it when it comes up for auction this fall at the Barrett Jackson collector car auction in Las Vegas; he’ll be donating the proceeds to the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The public can get a glimpse of the truck (before it heads south) at the Ultimate Car Show on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where there will also be a 1963 Lincoln valued at $1 million, a by-donation pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. and, throughout the day, live entertainment, prize giveaways, food and a beer garden. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

BLUEBERRIES & BUSINESS IN PORT COQUITLAM

Investment is needed to make farm land viable here: Moore This is the first full season B.C. blueberries are being shipped to China and estimates suggest blueberry growers could be looking at the potential of up to $65 million in exports a year once the agreement is fully implemented.

As blueberries are Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam’s largest agricultural crop, the trade deal could help promote agriculture in the Tri-Cities.

But there are challenges: High duties make the berries expensive for average Chinese buyers, the season is short for fresh berries, growers and processors must meet Chinese specifications, and risks are high, Wang said.

What’s more, it’s costly to ship blueberries by air and he’s looking into the viability of shipping via refrigerated container but is struggling to find the infrastructure here in B.C. Still, Wang says he’s looking into every option for exporting the highly-praised B.C. blueberries, among the best in the world because of the high acid, low pH soil they’re grown in.

“Canada has the best blueberries, especially the Fraser Valley.”

A STRONG MARKET

Wang said Chinese people value Canadian products. One of the reasons for this is the country’s veneration for Dr. Norman Bethune, a Canadian physician who is well known for risking his life for the sick and wounded in China during SinoJapanese war in the 1930s.

Wang, who was born in China, and immigrated to Canada 14 years ago after living in the U.S. for 12 years, began buying blueberry farms about five years ago and recently developed an interest in exporting blueberry wine, which he purchases from wineries in Pitt Meadows.

More popular than grape wine, blueberry wine sells for about $53 for a 750 ml bottle in China and Wang says he can’t keep up with the demand.

Recently, he opened a blueberry farm and winery in Weifang, a tourist city in China, together with a Chinese partner, but says the berries grown there aren’t nearly as good as those grown in the Fraser Valley.

If he can find land in Port Coquitlam or the Pitt Meadows area, Wang said he would like to set up a processing plant

that could produce blueberry concentrate for wine. The trouble is that agricultural land is at a premium, especially in PoCo, where there is pressure to develop.

Mayor Greg Moore said he was impressed with Wang’s Qin Chi Blueberry Winery joint venture when he visited the winery in May. It features 300 acres of blueberries, green houses, a large wine cellar, landscaped walkways and ponds, and could soon have a hotel, restaurant and cottages.

“I was amazed because they are creating a blueberry experience,” Moore told The Tri-City News.

INVESTMENT NEEDED But Moore cautioned that while processing facilities might be allowed on agricultural land, he doesn’t want to see viable farm land given up without some kind of enhanced investment.

“If William and his partners were thinking about putting in a processing facility, they’d want to do more farming around it,” he said, adding, “Our farmland isn’t overly productive today. A lot of people are only getting hay off it once or twice a year.”

Some of PoCo’s farmland is also under pressure from development around the planned Fremont connector, although the Agricultural Land Commission maintains it doesn’t support withdrawals from the Agricultural Land Reserve in the area, and some urban farmers think the land should be protected for growing vegetables for local consumption, not growing single crops for export.

Moore, who is also the Metro Vancouver board chair, agrees that there is a discussion worth having on whether farmland should be used to grow vegetables for local people or crops for export, and said building on farmland, should come with proviso that developers also invest in more farming.

Wang agreed that investment in B.C. farming is necessary and believes the Chinese demand for healthy blueberries may be just what’s needed to ensure agriculture is viable for years to come.

“I’m a farmer,” he says, grabbing a handful of large, purple berries from a fresh-picked tub, “I want to do some good.”

Starting next Tuesday, Port Coquitlam-Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon will host three consultation sessions on the topics, with at least four more planned for this summer.

McKinnon will listen to constituents on Canada Post on July 26 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

MP RON MCKINNON at Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch, Room 136 (1169 Pinetree Way).

The country’s defence policy will be up next on Friday,

July 29 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way).

Re. “Funding not fair for private schools” (Letters, The TriCity News, July 20).

The final paragraph of the referenced letter contains an incorrect and misleading word. It should read: “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 public schools.”

Aiming for BC Tory top job BLACK PRESS

A former Port Coquitlam resident and council candidate is vying for leadership of the BC Conservative Party.

Chloe Ellis, a 25-year-old professional financial advisor who now lives in New Westminster, announced her candidacy Monday at the Fort Langley community hall.

She said if she wins at the Sept. 17 party leadership convention, she will campaign on “affordability and accountability,” promising measures to help people cope with high housing costs and banning political contributions from unions and corporations.

Ellis is no stranger to politics. She ran in last fall’s federal election for the federal Conservatives, placing third while running against the incumbent NDP candidate in the New Westminster-Burnaby riding.

Chloe Ellis, shown here when she was running federally last fall, is now running for the BC Conservative Party leadership.

But she drew unwanted attention during the campaign, with the New West Record, reporting, “Soon after the writ was dropped, Conservative candidate Chloe Ellis was hard to track down and often a no-show at all-candidates meetings.”

After the election, she vowed, “This is not the last you have seen of me yet.”

In 2008 in PoCo, she ran for one of six seats on city council, placing 17th out of 23 candidates and garnering 1,295 votes.

The other candidates for the BC Conservative leadership are Dan Brooks, the former party leader, Jay Cross and Konrad Pimiskern.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Paddling and hiking part of this week’s route TAKE A HIKE

STEVE CHAPMAN HIKE OF THE WEEK Widgeon Falls Rating: moderate Time needed: 4-6 hours.

Length: 15 km (9 km paddling, 6 km hiking) Elevation gain: 330 m

R

eaching Widgeon Falls requires both a paddle and hiking boots.

Expect the paddle to take 60 to 90 minutes (one way) and the hike to take two to three hours.

Both portions of this mini expedition are scenically rewarding, making this one of the classic outings in Metro Vancouver.

For those wanting to make this an even more leisurely experience, the Widgeon Creek campsite can be used to turn this into an easy overnighter.

The paddling portion can be done by either kayak or canoe.

For those without their own

boats, canoes can be rented from the boat launch at Grant Narrows (in Pitt Meadows).

From the boat launch at Grant Narrows, paddle northwest across the Pitt River to the gap on the north side of Siwash Island. Note that this stretch of water can experience fast currents, and when the wind picks up in the afternoons, the water can be choppy.

After crossing the open water, you will enter into the mouth of Widgeon Creek, which is quite wide at this point. Keep right at the north end of the island and then keep following the channel until you reach a fork. Turn left at the fork and keep following this creek channel until you reach the obvious site of the campground.

As you progress along the creek, it will get progressively narrower — so pick your route wisely to avoid being grounded. Also note that Pitt Lake (and connected waters) constitute the largest freshwater tidal lake in North America, so expect the water levels to fluctuate during the day.

From the back of the campground, pick up the track that heads north (right). Follow this for about 1.5 km as you ascend easily to a trail junction that is signposted to Widgeon Falls in both directions. Take the path

that heads off to the right away from the main track.

The path meanders for about 700 m until you reach another trail junction for the old trail. Do not take the old trail as this has structures that have now rotted and are dangerous. The bridges on the new trail have been put in by volunteers from the Pinecone Burke Stewards, working in conjunction with BC Parks.

At the T-junction, turn right and follow the trail all the way down to Widgeon Falls.

The falls are a nice place for a picnic and are usually at their best after heavy rain or during high melt-off days in spring. Be

careful on the rocky slabs near the edge as a slip here would have serious consequences.

For the return route, retrace to the T-junction, continuing straight on there until you meet the main track. Follow this south (left) all the way down to the campground and your boat.

Expect an exciting crossing to Grant Narrows on a hot sunny afternoon.

The Widgeon Falls hike requires that you first paddle across the Pitt River to the trailhead (see map of route below left).

THE ENVIRONMENT

How humans created PoMo habitat for frogs GREEN SCENE

ELAINE GOLDS

O

ver the years, it has been sad to witness the loss of wetlands as our communities have become ever more developed. Often, these wetlands get covered for use as playing fields. Sometimes, they simply get buried beneath fill and built upon.

As an example, the Onni site in Port Moody was once full of wetlands prior to development. There, on the west side of Suterbrook Creek, an extensive wetland would form every spring and evaporate over the summer. When its water level was very high, flow would occur to Suterbrook but because this wetland was, for the most part, isolated from the stream. it was impossible to have it protected under the guidelines for stream protection.

Until its eventual disappearance, I followed the fate of this wetland over several years.

During that time, I learned how important ephemeral (i.e., seasonal) wetlands are for our na-

ELAINE GOLDS PHOTO

Creation of this wetland in Port Moody’s Shoreline Park improved breeding habitat for native frogs tive frogs. I discovered this wetland was an excellent breeding site for both tree frogs and redlegged frogs (a species at risk), plus two salamander species, the long-toed and northwestern. The chorus of tree frogs from this wetland was almost deafening each spring. In contrast, the larger red-legged frog is a much quieter species whose call is rarely heard.

During one especially dry summer, this wetland threatened to evaporate before the tadpoles or salamander larvae could metamorphose into their adult forms. These juveniles, which, amazingly, could sense decreasing water levels, started to transform into adults,

although they were unusually small. At the same time, local predators, such as raccoons, found the shrinking wetland pools created easy opportunities to capture these bite-sized amphibians. That summer, my two young two sons and I hauled buckets of water from nearby Suterbrook Creek on a daily basis to give these young amphibians a few extra days to transform and then make their escape into the nearby forest.

Eventually, it became clear that development at Suterbrook was inevitable and the wetlands would, for the most part, be lost.

A plan to create an alternative wetland within the Shoreline Park began to occupy my mind.

Near the so-called old mill site in this park, I knew water often seeped from the hillside just below the railway tracks. In winter, this water would sometimes freeze over an old concrete base of a former shed and create a temporary skating rink.

I suggested to city staff a wetland would be an attractive feature to have in the park and recommended the concrete be removed and a hole dug to contain the water. Thankfully, my suggestion was taken up by the city and work was initiated to create a wetland. Because natural water seepage proved to be insufficient to fill the wetland, we partially diverted water from a small buried stream that

conveniently flowed year-round from a culvert just below the bike path.

This wetland complex was created in two stages; a second excavation adjacent to the first wetland was intended to become a cattail marsh where red-winged blackbirds could nest. The Onni site was replete with cattail marshes that supported several nesting pairs of red-winged blackbirds. But until we created such a marsh within Shoreline Park, this bird was only a rare winter visitor to the park.

One spring, when development was imminent on the Onni site, became the time to transfer the amphibians. In fact, we planned to move only their eggs to the new wetland and leave the adults behind in the hopes that they might still manage on a site even with their habitat significantly reduced.

Once again, we had excellent cooperation from not only city staff but also the environmental consultants hired by the developer of the Onni site.

On the day of the transfer, the water level in the wetlands was, first, reduced by pumping. This allowed us to identify where most of the eggs had been laid as they hung in clusters from the dead limbs of trees that had been blown into the pond during winter windstorms.

Reducing the water level simply made the egg clusters visible. We

quickly waded in to collect the eggs in buckets of water by clipping the branches off with minimal disturbance and no touching of the eggs. We also collected a few root balls of cattails to plant in the new wetland. Then, we were off to the new wetlands with all our eggs in several buckets of water. The transfer was quickly accomplished and, then, it was all up to nature…

Every spring, there is now a steady chorus of tree frogs at these wetlands. As for the fate of the red-legged frogs, we are a little less sure. The surrounding forest is rather dry for adult frogs, although there are small areas which remain damp throughout most of the year.

Last year, for the first time, a red-legged frog was observed at the nearby Noons Creek Hatchery pond. We took this sighting as an indication the frog may have originated from the old mill site wetlands and was moving out in search of new territory.

We have been delighted with the outcome of the transfer we did so many years ago. And it just goes to show that when nature is given a chance, she rebounds profusely.

Across the province, new home prices were up 4.8 per cent year-over-year, putting B C neck-and-neck with Ontario, which saw an increase of

cent, and both PEI and Saskatchewan saw monthly decreases in the new home price index.

Changes in new home prices often do not mirror those seen in the resale market, as the price paid for a new home is only measured when the transaction is completed and registered with the L and Registr y, rather than when the home is originally purchased of f-plan.

B ecause of long lead times on home constr uction, new home prices registered today are often those homes sold many months or even years ago – whereas MLS® resale home prices are much more up to date.

NOBLE’S CALLING

Pentathlon champ enjoys the diversity of his sport Bob Noble is now an international pentathlon champ GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

FILIPFOTOGRAF.CZ

Bob Noble has been competing in the pentathlon since the 1970s, after he was inspired to take up the sport while watching the Montreal Summer Olympics. He has spent years perfecting his running, swimming, shooting, fencing and horseback riding abilities and recently won the world championships in Prague, Czech Republic, for his age category.

Bob Noble has difficulty focusing on just one sport.

He started out as a competitive swimmer but quickly took up running, eventually winning the 3,000 m race during the 1976 high school provincial track and field championship.

However, even two sports were not enough to keep Noble occupied.

During the Summer Olympics in Montreal, he said he finally found his calling when watching athletes compete in the pentathlon event, which features running and swimming along with pistol shooting, horseback riding and

fencing.

“I had the run-swim down,” he said. “I just had to pick up the technical aspects.”

They are skills Noble has been working to perfect ever since. His hard work paid off earlier this month when he won an international title during the World Masters Modern Pentathlon Championship in Prague, Czech Republic, beating out 50 other competitors in his age class.

And while he may have started out as a swimmer and a runner, Noble credits his pistol shooting abilities as the reason why he bested the competition at the worlds.

“My shooting was good,” he said. “That is the reason why I won the competition. Every time I would go into the shoot, I would be out way ahead of them.” see ‘I COULD NEVER’, page 27

MINOR LACROSSE

Rivalries buried as B.C. heads to LAX nationals PoCo players eye national prize in Calgary this week GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam lacrosse player Addison Bradley will be joining forces with some of her fiercest rivals when Team B.C. heads to Calgary this week.

The 15-year-old Riverside secondary student was chosen for the provincial team, along with 20 other midget players from club teams across the region, following a recent selection camp.

She battled many of her new

bench mates as recently as last month, when the club teams duked it out at the provincial championships — a tournament Bradley’s squad won.

However, she told The TriCity News this week that the Team B.C. coaches have done a good job of alleviating any tensions between players that are left over from the regular season.

“At first it is kind of hard,” she said. “Our coaches have done a lot of team bonding stuff. I have gotten to know everyone.”

Bradley was named MVP in the provincials, where her team won gold after taking down another Port Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse Association team in the finals. On their

way to the championship, the squad defeated Nanaimo, Victoria, Coquitlam and their main rival Ridge Meadows.

“On the guys side, there has always been a rivalry between PoCo and Coquitlam,” she said. “For us, it has mainly been the Ridge Meadows teams.”

But those differences will be put aside this week as Team B.C. looks to take home a national title.

Fortunately for Bradley — and the rest of Team B.C. — there will be at least one familiar face on the bus ride to Alberta.

Megan Morris, PoCo’s netminder, will be joining the provincial squad and Bradley said

her solid goaltending will be vital if they hope to walk away with a championship title.

She still remembers losing to Team Ontario in the finals last year and expects some tough competition from the eastern squads.

However, teams like Alberta are also starting to emerge as top contenders and Bradley said the finals could be interesting.

“Team B.C. and Team Ontario have always been the two that end up playing each other,” she said. “But Alberta has stepped up quite a bit. I don’t know what we will be up against. It will be a good competition.”

Ravens soar at provincials PoCo takes down Vancouver in championship The Port Coquitlam Ravens are U14B provincial champions after besting the competition at a tournament in Surrey last week.

The club went 4-0 in round-robin play and took their first two playoff games before running into trouble against the Vancouver Wildcats, who defeated the Ravens 2-1.

But thanks to the double knockout format, the Ravens had one more shot at the championship.

They defeated the Gordon Head Wave to earn a spot in the finals, where a strong pitching performance from PoCO’s Eden Bates helped the team win a rematch against Vancouver 8-0.

PREDS

The Coquitlam MetroFord Predators came in fourth during the U16 B.C. Provincial Championships in Penticton last week.

The Preds came in second in their round-robin grouping, which featured United
