FOR THE BIRDS

It’s a tale of two birds (four, actually) from columnist Elaine Golds: the wellestablished mourning dove and the relative newcomer, the Eurasian collared dove; the ubiquitous rock pigeon and the far less-common band-tailed pigeon.

Crackdown on trash in area of Coq. bear attack $500 fines issued Sunday night in wake of attack by bear on little girl DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Several homeowners in the area where a bear attack took place last Saturday have received $500 fines for setting their garbage out the night before pick-up.

The city of Coquitlam has confirmed that 25 tickets were handed out Sunday to residents in the Shaughnessy

Street/River Springs neighbourhood, bringing the total ticket count this year to 90.

“We were shocked and disappointed to find that despite Saturday’s incident, many residents in this area still had their garbage bins placed at the curb on Sunday night,” said Stephanie Warriner, the city’s manager of environmental services. “Given the seriousness of the situation, the amount of media coverage over the weekend and the proximity of these residences to the incident site, we cannot overlook this level of disregard.” see ‘MINIMIZE’, page 3

BEARS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Who (and when) to call about bears DIANE STRANDBERG THE TRI-CITY NEWS

If there’s something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call?

No, not Ghostbusters.

If you see a bear exhibiting abnormal behaviour, such as eating human garbage, not leaving a yard or neighbourhood, walking downtown or bluff charging or exhibiting other aggressive behaviours, you had better call the BC Conservation Officers Service RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) toll-free number, 1-877-952-7277.

Chances are if these things are happening in your neighbourhood, the bear has become habituated to human garbage and other attractants.

And now, as bear season heats up, with bruins looking to fatten up on high calorie food, conservation officers need your help to track problem areas.

“In my zone, [Fraser North] each officer has a leadership component — a beat position.

They represent each community and on a biweekly basis, we’re sharing information on potential trends and patterns,” explained Sgt. Todd Hunter.

“That’s where we need help with the education and enforcement component, so we can deal with the behaviour of the animals.”

But it’s not just strange bear behaviour the conservation officers are worried about, it’s

WHEN TO CALL ABOUT A BEAR • DON’T CALL: A call to the RAPP line isn’t necessary if a bear is exhibiting natural behaviour — even frolicking on a backyard trampoline or in a pool isn’t a cause for concern if the bear leaves readily and doesn’t return. If it’s on a trail and departs when you arrive, that’s normal behaviour, too.

• CALL: If a bear is knocking over garbage cans and won’t leave a yard or neighbourhood, it could be there is a human food source. Call so city bylaw officers and conservation officers can deal with the situation. Provide as much detail as possible, including what possible attractants the bear might be drawn to, and ask for a file number in case you have to call back.

• CALL: if a bear is persistently approaching and not backing up readily if you do back up.

• CALL: if there is property loss involved, such as a bear knocking over a fence to get at food.

BC Conservation Officers Service RAPP: 1-877-952-7277 careless human behaviour because not looking after green waste bins, ripe fruit, pet food, bird seed and other attractants draws bears.

It’s when bears get used to eating from human food sources that they can become a problem, and if their behaviour becomes unpredictable and unusual, conservation officers may have to relocate, haze or, in some instances, kill a bear.

A case in point: On the day a bear attacked a 10-year-old girl on a trail in Coquitlam, RCMP and conservation officers were chasing bears out of the the Ozada-Tahsis Avenue neighbourhoods on the other side of the Coquitlam River and reminding homeowners to lock up garbage and get rid of

attractants.

“It’s worked fairly well with how we have it set up,” Hunter said. “We share a map, and then a depiction of our data input on a map, so they can see a pattern and the specific streets. We share that [with the cities] and they can help us with education and enforcement.”

Not every call can be returned, Hunter said, but every one is logged, tracked and the information shared.

Hunter recommends checking out various websites for information, including wildsafebc. com and the BC Government website under Conservation Officer Service. City websites also have helpful information. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

BY THE NUMBERS

BLACK BEAR CALLS FOR THE PERIOD APRIL 1 TO AUG. 17: • Coquitlam 613 calls, 26 attended, 4 bears destroyed, 1 destroyed by other, 4 hazed, 1 rehab • Port Coquitlam 217 calls, 17 attended, 1 destroyed, 1 destroyed by other, • Port Moody 159 calls, five attended, 4 destroyed, 1 hazed, 1 to rehab BRITTANY HILL PHOTO

Tri-City News reader Brittany Hill sent us this photo she snapped on Tuesday afternoon of a black bear in a backyard swimming pool near Como Lake Avenue and Prospect Street in Coquitlam.

BEARS & GARBAGE

‘Minimize human-bear conflict potential’ continued from front page

According to city bylaws, garbage, green and recycling carts aren’t supposed to be set out before 5:30 a.m. on garbage collection day. The rules have been in place for some time, said Verne Kucy, Coquitlam’s manager of environmental projects, with the goal of reducing the amount of time roaming bears have access to human food in green waste bins.

“We try to minimize the human-bear conflict potential. If [bears] become acclimatized to human garbage, they often become a nuisance bear, which is also a dead bear,” Kucy said.

Coquitlam has stepped up patrols in areas bears frequent and has raised awareness and given out more fines this year, sparking a lively exchange on Facebook and in Tri-City News

letter pages (see page 13) as some residents oppose the idea of enforcing time limits on garbage set out.

But Kucy said it’s important that homeowners stick to the rules and, where work schedules conflict, people are encouraged to ask their neighbours to help.

NEW LOCKS TRIED

The city is also trying out new trash bin gravity locks that keep animals out, opening only when bins are inverted during garbage collection. The Franzen Canada Gravity Locks have been placed on a number of carts in the Burke Mountain/ Coast Meridian area, with the goal of seeing if they discourage bears and open properly when tipped by the automated system used by contractors Progressive Waste Solutions.

If the pilot project is successful and Coquitlam decides to follow the city of Toronto’s lead and purchase those locks for bear-prone areas (In Toronto they are used to keep out raccoons), they might discourage bears from hanging out in neighbourhoods on garbage days.

In the meantime, city patrols will continue to visit residential areas to monitor early set-out of green waste bins, Kucy said, adding, “The patrols are happening and this tragic incident in the park has brought more focus on it.”

PARK GARBAGE

Meanwhile, the 10-yearold girl who was mauled by a female bear on Saturday is reportedly recovering in hospital.

As for Coquitlam’s own park trash cans, a network of 400

bins, the city reports they are bear-proof or -resistant. Still, some homeowners use them to dump trash or leave bags of garbage nearby, according to parks manager Kathleen Reinheimer.

That was the case when two bags were left next to a bin where the attack happened and bears ransacked them looking for food. Sometimes, people break the locks to be able to dump their garbage, leaving the plastic bins open to bears, which then drag the trash into the trees.

Reinheimer said the plan is now to replace two of the plastic deep bins along the trail with metal bins in the hopes of discouraging dumpers from breaking into bins or leaving trash on the trail.

2nd-degree murder charges in stabbing death Aug. 7 in PoCo Man arrested in killing of Robert Vidovich of Coq. GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has arrested a suspect in connection with a fatal stabbing outside a Port Coquitlam pub earlier this month.

James Ivan Meanney was arrested Tuesday less than four hours after IHIT made a public announcement seeking the whereabouts of the 34-year-old, who police said was “armed and dangerous.” He was taken into custody without incident in Maple Ridge and is now charged with second-degree murder.

“We would like to thank

JAMES IVAN MEANNEY the media and the public for recognizing the importance of this public warning and assisting the police in ensuring the potential for further harm was mitigated,” said Cpl. Meghan Foster. “We can now concentrate on moving forward with this homicide investigation.”

The charges stem from an incident outside the Shaughnessy Square mall in the 2000-block

of the Lougheed Highway, where a fight broke out on Sunday, Aug. 7 at 3:15 p.m.

When RCMP officers arrived, they found 65-year-old Robert Harold Vidovich, a Coquitlam resident, suffering multiple stab wounds; he was treated at the scene and taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Witnesses said the other man involved in the fight fled on foot and the Lower Mainland Police Dog Services was dispatched but the suspect was not located.

Investigators have been unable to determine whether the two men knew each other and are treating the attack as random.

Meanney was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, after The Tri-City News’ deadline. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

PM man in crab fishing bust BLACK Press

A Port Moody man was arrested after illegally crab fishing at the Sooke Harbour Marina earlier this month.

Sooke RCMP arrived at the marina around 5:23 p.m. Aug.

8 after a resident phoned about several individuals fishing. When police arrived, one of the individuals dumped a cooler filled with crab into the ocean, according to Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur.

“An approaching officer directed him to stop. He did

not,” he said.

The 69-year-old man was given a violation ticket for possession of an undersized Dungeness crab. The cooler and four crab traps were seized and destroyed. newsroom@tricitynews.com

With warm, dry weather expected to stick around the Lower Mainland over the weekend, Port Moody Fire Chief Remo Faedo said open burning restrictions are now in effect within the city.

That means campfires, barbecues in city parks that require charcoal briquettes or wood, tiki torches, fireworks, firecrackers, candles and sky lanterns are all prohibited until

further notice.

Open fires and smoking are already not permitted in all city parks in the Tri-Cities.

“The recent warm weather creates dry forest conditions and with temperatures expected to move into the 30s later this week, there is a higher risk for accidental fires,” Faedo said in a press release.

Port Moody has a four-tiered fire hazard rating that it displays at Ioco Road and Murray Street that is currently set at “high.”

Open air burning is prohibited in Coquitlam year-round but Assistant Fire Chief Jim Ogloff told The Tri-City News

WORK IN MUNDY

Walkers and runners in Coquitlam’s Mundy Park may have to take some detours along two trails this month and next.

Between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., city workers will be resurfacing portions of the trail network until Friday, Sept. 16. Maintenance will be done on the South Perimeter Trail, east from Waterline Trail to Austin Avenue, and the Austin Trail, from the South Perimeter Trail out to Austin Avenue. The work is aimed at keeping the trails safe and walkable for park users. Closure signs will be posted.

Call 604-927-6300 or email parks@coquitlam.ca for more information.

that now is a good time to remind the public to be vigilant about any potential fire starters.

He said higher fines are issued to residents who smoke in city parks between June and September “If we do start to spend more time in the extreme, then we will look at further restrictions,” he said.

According to the British Columbia Wildfire Service, the danger rating as of Thursday was high for most of the Lower Mainland and extreme in many parts of the province. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

On Jan. 1 of this year, the city of Port Moody had to cancel the Penguin Plunge after a boat ran aground and may have leaked oil into the Burrard Inlet. Mayor Mike Clay said the city and the port have been cracking down on derelict and unpermitted vessels that moor in the area.

The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Moody is cracking down on derelict and unpermitted boats moored in the Burrard Inlet within the municipal boundary.

Mayor Mike Clay told The Tri-City News on Thursday that five boats were removed in the middle of July and another five were taken out earlier this week. The vessels can create environmental problems and can cost the city money if they wash up on shore, he said.

“Mainly, it is an environmental issue,” Clay added.

“Some people living on them discharge their sewage overboard. Some are sinking and being abandoned and washing

the inlet. Clay said the owner did the right thing by driving the boat to shore but when it came time to cover cleanup costs, the person did not have the money.

But not all boats are moored illegally.

At least one vessel is permitted to park in the inlet and many are anchored within the dock lines connected to private homes. That allows the city to at least know that the vessels are insured and that someone is responsible for them should a mishap occur, Clay said.

“We want to know who the owners are,” he said. “We want to know that they have insurance.”

up on shore. That’s a significant cost to the city.”

The number of abandoned boats off the shores of Port Moody began to climb following a crackdown in Vancouver a few years ago, when dozens of vessels were forced to leave the False Creek area. Clay said the numbers in Port Moody peaked last summer at 47 and have been declining ever since.

So far this year, 10 were removed in June, followed by five more in the middle of July.

Earlier this week, another five were towed or driven away, he added.

On New Year’s Day, the city’s annual Penguin Plunge was cancelled when a boat that ran aground near Rocky Point Park began spilling fuel into

DOWNTOWN POCO CAR SHOW

Shiny wheels, music and breakfast, too JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Seven years ago, Port Coquitlam resident Jim Pennington saw a 1957 Chevrolet 3100 pickup for sale in a magazine. The lipstick red truck was in mint condition, up for purchase from a dealer in Alberta. Pennington bought it sight unseen and had it transported to the west coast.

He proudly displayed his treasure in the annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show, where Mayor Greg Moore eyeballed it.

After last year’s show, Pennington sold the collector vehicle to Moore and, a month later, used the proceeds to buy a ’56 Ford Thunderbird in nearly the same hue. Pennington scooped up the convertible from a Coquitlam resident.

Previously, it had reportedly been updated by a gear-head working for former Vancouver Canuck winger Todd Bertuzzi.

On Sunday, both Pennington and Moore will exhibit their prized automotive possessions at the 12th annual PoCo car show, a Tri-City Newssponsored event that organizers expect to draw up to 60,000 people to the core — one of the biggest show and shines in western Canada and likely the largest one-day event in the Tri-Cities.

As in the past eight years,

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The famous fin of a 1956 Ford Thunderbird, owned by Jim Pennington, that will be on display Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the 12th annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show.

Pennington and his wife — along with Dominion Lending Centres, a PoCo business — will host a public breakfast before the gathering starts at 10 a.m.

Moore will be flipping pancakes with the rest of city council, in the Leigh Square Community Arts Village.

Asked why he and Grace put on the meal, Pennington offered an upbeat response: “It’s the greatest thing to ever happen to Port Coquitlam,” the retired BC Tel linesman said. “It’s the best car show around. And we’ve known Dean for many,

many years.”

“Dean” is PoCo Coun. Dean Washington, who this year chairs the Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show with his wife, Brenda, and a team of volunteers: Bruce Richardson, Wayne Dudgeon, Mike Roberts, Brian Wormald, Steve Roberts, Kayla Steele, Bruce Kowallison and Coun. Glenn Pollock.

To date, they’ve registered a record 400-plus vintage, classic and muscle cars, and other unique vehicles for the Aug. 21 event, with drivers coming in from Whistler to Washington

State, and Gibsons to Kelowna.

Not to be missed this year will be a 1923 Model T, a “Herbie the Love Bug” and a Starsky and Hutch-style Gran Torino.

“This year, we have two cool feature areas,” Washington said.

“Hot Rod Row on Shaughnessy Street at Whyte Avenue will feature 20 high-end custom cars, collectively worth over $2 million. We also have over two dozen beautiful classics from the Canadian Falcon Fairlane Comet Club that will be displayed on the lawns in Veteran’s Park at the corner

of Shaughnessy Street and McAllister Avenue.”

And all entrants will be competing for the grand prize, which last year was won by Shane and Randy MacDonald of Maple Ridge for their 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Meanwhile, about 100 drivers are also signed up for the third annual classic car ride that parades throughout the north and south sides of PoCo the night before (see sidebar for route).

Still, for visitors not interested in the weekend car displays, there will be plenty of other activities going on Sunday.

Fifty kids who pre-registered online will build Model-T plastic toy vehicles in The Outlet while live music will be supplied by the Giggle Dam Band, Centerfield (a tribute to CCR) and Night Moves with Dan Hare, “The Essential Bob Seger.”

As well, a beer garden will be set up in Leigh Square.

• Sponsored in part by Metro Ford Motors and the PoCo Business Improvement Association, the 12th annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show is on Sunday, Aug. 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (with music until 7 p.m.). Admission is free.

OUR OPINION

Councillor’s 2 jobs too many?

I

t’s understandable when people want to leverage their career expertise into jobs but the decision by Coquitlam Coun. Dennis Marsden to take a paying directorship with KFN Enterprises puts him in a potential conflict of interest on an important city file.

Marsden has promised to recuse himself from situations where his obligations to the Kwikwetlem First Nation’s economic development body and the city or Metro Vancouver are in conflict.

But that apparently reasonable solution is not good enough for people who voted for him because it means Marsden can’t do some parts of the job he was elected to do — namely, vote on anything to do with Riverview lands or the city’s vision for the area because the Kwikwetlem First Nation has a claim on the area.

Marsden is a conscientious counsellor who works hard for his city but he may want to re-think his acceptance of this new posting.

t takes a certain skill set to try to fix a problem and possibly botch it up even more but the B.C. government is certainly testing the idea as it flails about hoping to cool Vancouver’s red hot housing market.

For months, the BC Liberal government had been in denial over the issue: Overblown, isolated to a few neighbourhoods, it said.

Since then, its approach has gone from “the market will correct itself” to a “bold action plan,” to legislating a retroactive 15% tax on foreign ownership.

Along the way, the government bought time by setting up a panel to investigate allegations of questionable practices in the real estate industry and retaining the Conference Board of Canada “to conduct a research study on housing affordability.”

It did seem impatient, though. In a few areas under review, the government acted first, final reports be damned. It muddied the waters in early July by releasing 19 days of data on foreign home ownership transactions.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong was left flat-footed when asked why he didn’t wait a day or two to include transactions from June 30, when a significant number of home

TC

sales would have closed. Despite cautions over the data, it didn’t stop the self-interested from embracing the numbers. “See, no problem,” they said.

Then two weeks ago, a new data set that showed there may be a problem after all. The self-interested switched tack fast. Suddenly, five weeks of data was insufficient to form any real conclusions, even though the caveat-laden 19-day data set had been just fine.

While most of the government’s effort has focused on home prices, it’s not all about flipping, buying and selling. A lot of the debate surrounds what the government means by “affordable.”

Some of the one-bedroom units in an “affordable” rental-housing project in Victoria, the Azzurro, will go for $950 per month. The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Metro Vancouver is $1,410. In Sudbury, Ont., the average is $953, a difference of $5,484 per year.

Why a comparison with Sudbury?

Out of 28 census metropolitan areas, Sudbury had a higher median family income in 2014 than Victoria, Vancouver and Abbotsford-Mission. The difference with Vancouver was $11,410.

Many may be under the mistaken impression that the government is building far more affordable housing than it actually is, given the plethora of news releases that accompany each project.

A problem 30 years in the making doesn’t get solved on the fly and that’s part of the problem with the province’s recent initiatives. You don’t get the sense of a comprehensive housing policy but a mishmash of knee-jerk reactions.

Case in point? The tax on foreign ownership.

Compliance with Canada’s obligations under NAFTA, Charter issues and scuttled home purchases have been raised as potential risks.

There are possible workarounds. One real estate agent has already advertised the 15% equivalent to “We pay the GST” sales.

The biggest worry, however, may be its regional nature.

The tax may simply push the problem down the road.

It seems Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s warning following a Vancouver housing roundtable in June fell on deaf ears: “There’s no question that concerted, thoughtful effort is going to be needed to address the situation but we have to be very wary of unintended consequences.”

No, road will not ruin Bears & garbage are why PM’s Bert Flinn Park we have to get up early to connect with David Avenue and planned the pocket housing developments together with the future extension of David Avenue. They carved these roadways out of the bush on the mountainside and built schools, playing fields and parks to serve the residents.

An east-west connector was planned for the next inevitable growth spurt. To suggest that it has been “abandoned,” as Coun. Rob Vagramov suggests in his motion, is plain ridiculous. If he were to consult the city’s official community plan (OCP), the Bible for Port Moody’s future development, he would find maps showing the future roadway to Anmore border, and that it states quite clearly that the city will pursue a proposed westerly extension of David Avenue.

In his motion, he makes use of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan to make his argument but this only gives guidance from one perspective. The OCP gives guidance covering all aspects of life in Port Moody. To

Mr. Maguire claims not to have heard of the bylaw that states when garbage must be put out but Port Moody is not

a vacuum and the bylaw has been widely publicized and has been in existence for some time. The purpose is to leave potential attractants out for a minimum time while assuring an effective garbage pick-up.

Mr. Maguire’s arguments are not enhanced by his inappropriate criticism of city employees.

Big house makes no sense The Editor, Re. “Streamkeepers disturbed at request to move creek to make way for house” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 10) and “PoCo, look after Maple Creek” (Letters, Aug. 17).

This is my first letter to the editor in my 37 years in Port Coquitlam.

No one has been allowed to do this and past owners had to adapt and work around the

stream. They knew the rules.

Also, in a time when the city is focusing on higher density housing, the property owner is asking to build a 10,000-sq. foot home that is completely out of character with the neighbourhood.

While there is so much unhappiness with monster homes in general, allowing this would have a negative impact on the Woodland Acres

community and Maple Creek.

There has already been a huge change in this area with about 15 new homes with suites being built. A 10,000-sq. ft. house that will affect Maple Creek stream would not be a positive addition to Port Coquitlam’s environmental and healthy communities strategic planning.

close off that right-of-way would leave the city open for litigation and our future taxes at risk for misrepresentation. Residents living beside Ioco Road had better get prepared for increased traffic when some future council decides to develop these lands without this access.

A road through Bert Flinn Park is not going to have the devastating impact suggested.

There are many roads in this area and if you ventured a few yards into the bush, you wouldn’t hear a passing car.

It will provide needed access, just as the roads to Buntzen, Sasamat and Belcarra do — these roads have not destroyed these recreation areas. All Port Moody residents, ourselves included, need to adopt a more regional attitude.

We hope that when council votes on this motion that they remember the oath they swore to consider the interests of all the community and not just vote for one special interest group.

The Editor, Re. “Road through park old way of thinking” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 17).

Wow, the rhetoric from the Save Bert Flinn Park proponents is scary. Let’s try and keep some perspective. No one is going to destroy the park or propose massive developments that will destroy habitat and change our way of life or our empathy with nature. The developer wants to rejuvenate the Ioco Heritage townsite and build some sorely needed housing, and is consulting with the community as it should.

When we came to Port Moody, the population was 9,000; it is now 34,000 and projected to be 65,000. Growth happens, it’s inevitable. Luckily, years ago, Port Moody had councillors of vision who protected the waterfront from development, who decreed where skyscrapers should be built, where growth would take place and where access roadways would be placed.

A new generation of SkyTrain cars hit the tracks on Thursday and the first Mark III train is now running on the Expo Line. The new trains will also run on the Evergreen Line, which is to open next year.

PUBLIC TRANSIT

More spaces on new trains JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

New Mark III SkyTrain cars are now in service on the Expo line.

The first new-generation train rolled from Waterfront Station to Surrey Thursday and six more new four-car trains will be deployed in the coming months.

TransLink officials say passengers will notice larger windows, including a bigger front windshield, as well as a quieter, smoother ride and more space for bikes, wheelchairs, strollers, luggage and standing riders.

Each Mark III car has 30 seats — three fewer than the previous generation — but can hold about 20 to 50 more passengers because of extra standing room.

SUMMER OF SAVINGS

Passengers can walk from car to car the length of each train.

In addition to a map of stations that lights up indicating where a train is — a feature of Mark II trains — a new illuminated sign at the end of each train will indicate the destination, similar to that which exists on Canada Line trains, as well as improved LED lighting.

The new SkyTrain cars were built by Bombardier in Ontario and have undergone extensive testing in recent months.

TransLink paid $90.7 million for the 28 new SkyTrain cars in part to ensure extra capacity to serve the 11-km Evergreen Line when it opens early next year linking Lougheed Station in Burnaby with Port Moody and Coquitlam.

ON THE WATER

Warning issued after near miss with ship in Burrard Inlet Pleasure craft cut sharply in front of large freighter BRENT RICHTER

NORTH SHORE NEWS

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is issuing a stern warning after a near-collision between a recreational boater and a freighter The incident, which was caught on surveillance video, happened just west of the Lions Gate Bridge on the evening of July 17 when the pleasure craft cut sharply in front of the bow of a bulk carrier steaming into port.

Vancouver Police Department has opened its own investigation and is still considering whether criminal charges would be appropriate.

They have identified the boat and interviewed the owner as well as the operator, according to Const. Brian Montague, VPD spokesman.

In the meantime, the port is hoping more boaters will heed the flotilla of laws and Transport Canada safety regulations that govern boating around English

Bay, First Narrows, Second Narrows and the Vancouver inner harbour, and keep clear of port activities.

Kevin Obermeyer, CEO of the Pacific Pilotage Authority, which guides ocean-going vessels into the narrow harbour, said close calls like this happen about three or four times a year.

“It’s largely due to the fact that a lot of these recreational vessels don’t realize that when they get within a certain distance of a deep-sea ship, they cannot be seen,” he said. “It can be as much as 500 or 600 m, and even if you were, there’s not much a deep sea ship can do if the vessel suddenly had an engine failure and stopped.”

The pilotage authority has been trying to get that message out via pamphleting at local marinas.

Drivers of smaller boats often believe they can quickly get out of the way of tankers, which is dangerous thinking, Obermeyer said.

“Even if we put the wheel hard over… and put the engine full astern, chances are we wouldn’t be able to stop,” he said. “Had they collided, there would have been little

or no damage to the freighter but there probably would have been very, very large damage and possibly injuries as well to the recreational vessel. You’re looking at David and Goliath here.”

Obermeyer said he often sees sailboaters incorrectly believing they have the right of way.

“In a channel approaching the port, they don’t have the right of way,” he said. “It’s all about education.”

With the exception of a narrow strip along Ambleside and the mouth of the Capilano River, anything east of Navvy Jack Point in West Vancouver is considered off limits for fishing, crabbing, sailing, rowing, jet-skiing, anchoring or watersports. Boaters must keep to the right of the channel used by deep sea vessels while transiting the First and Second Narrows and avoid port terminals and the aircraft operations area in Coal Harbour.

Near misses like the one on July 17 are all investigated

by Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and if necessary, the police. brichter@nsnews.com @BrentRichter

“W

e’re a second career college,” says Kathy Bell, Director of Education at Integra College. “We’ve developed programs for people who are recently retired or transitioning to a calmer working lifestyle, but who don’t necessarily want to stop working.”

Integra College was founded by Bob Hanley, its current president, and is based on Bob’s experience in teaching health practitioners to better serve our ageing population. Kathy, meanwhile, spent over twenty years in the post-secondary education sector and is passionate about working with people.

“Integra College combines Bob’s experience in the field of seniors’ wellness with my career in teaching college-level courses and English as a second language (ESL) to academics and professionals,” Kathy explains.

Offering a combination of online and classroom instruction Integra College operates a campus in Port Moody.

Programs are designed for students who have spent a lifetime in caring professions—such as teachers, doctors, and nurses—and who want to continue interacting with people and contributing to society as they enter retirement.

“We offer programs for people who want to embark on a second career, but

who don’t want to take a long, drawnout course,” says Kathy. “For example, a full massage program can take two years or more, whereas our certificate course focusing on chair massage can be completed in as little as 30 days.”

Integra College is accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA), part of the Ministry of Advanced Education of B.C. that is tasked with regulating educational standards in British Columbia’s post-secondary training institutions.

“Students can feel confident that we offer high-quality programs,” says Kathy, “and be confident that they are dealing with a reputable college.”

A tale of two doves (and two pigeons, too) GREEN SCENE

ELAINE GOLDS

I

occasionally get phone calls from people who want to have a bird in their backyard identified. While I am no expert (I seem to lack the good musical ear most birders use to identify birds), my birding buddies keep me in touch with what’s happening.

One bird that is provoking some interest, especially in Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam, is the Eurasian collared dove, a relatively recent addition to the local bird population that is growing in abundance. These birds are now prevalent in areas also frequented by the mourning dove, which is another bird species that has also increased in local abundance, albeit far more slowly, over the past few decades.

To complete the scene, we also have two related pigeon species that belong to the same bird family as the somewhat smaller doves.

First, there is the ubiquitous rock pigeon (formerly called a

HILARY MAGUIRE PHOTO

Mourning doves with their black spotted wings are found at Colony Farm Regional Park during the summer months. rock dove). These are the common pigeons found throughout cities everywhere people are fond of feeding them. Long ago, they nested on coastal cliffs in western Asia but they have readily adapted to nesting on taller buildings especially those with ledges that provide perfect habitat for them. These pigeons, first introduced to North America in 1606, are now found in cities around the planet.

They were domesticated as homing pigeons and by pigeon fanciers who bred them for their unusual feathers.

Finally, there is my favourite, the far less-common band-tailed pigeon. They are

a species at risk in B.C. and are the closest living relative to the now extinct passenger pigeon.

Band-tailed pigeons, found in forested areas, migrate here each spring but return further south along the coast once the autumn rains arrive.

Mourning doves have been in B.C. for a relatively long time.

While these doves are native to the Americas, their population numbers have been slowly increasing in north-western North America over the past few decades.

They are our smallest dove, with a four-syllable coo somewhat reminiscent of a sad lament — hence their name.

They have black spots on their wings and a long pointed tail with white and black markings.

Although mourning doves can remain year round in the lower mainland, it appears many migrate further south in the winter. For example, mourning doves banded in B.C. have been captured in Nevada and Arizona. They tend to be mostly ground feeders but will come to backyard feeders to eat seeds. Like rock pigeons and Eurasian collared doves, they are often seen roosting on telephone wires and power poles.

Eurasian collared doves, as their name suggests, are not native to the Americas. They

are slightly larger and heavier than the mourning dove, with a black crescent on the back of their necks. In flight, their tail is broad rather than pointed. They have a very characteristic threesyllable coo with an accent on the middle coo. This dove is thought to have originated in India. Records indicate by the 16th century, it reached Asia Minor and the Balkans.

Because this dove thrives in areas settled by people, it quickly spread throughout Europe in the 19th century. In the 1970s, it was imported to the Bahamas for sale in a pet store but apparently escaped during a hurricane. It arrived in Florida in 1982 and the rest, as they say, is history.

The first record of these doves in B.C. was in the southern Okanagan in the early 2002. They arrived in the Fraser Valley a few years later and on Vancouver Island by 2008.

They remain here year round and show no inclination to migrate. They favour the agricultural-suburban interface, which probably explains their abundance in Port Coquitlam.

Recent reports indicate they are now on Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam.

All four of these pigeon and dove species can be seen at Coquitlam’s Colony Farm Regional Park over the summer months. There, the band-tailed pigeons as well as many other

birds, are attracted to the plentiful red elderberries. By fall, the band-tailed pigeons will be gone and the mourning doves will be less plentiful.

Initially, there were concerns the arrival of the Eurasian collared dove would have a negative impact on the mourning dove population as they tend to use the same type of habitat.

Now, it seems that the two dove species appear to be able to coexist fairly successfully.

But it may take a longer time for any population impacts to emerge. Certainly, there is likely to be some competition for food. My main concern about the arrival of the Eurasian collared doves is that they might have an impact on the far less common band-tailed pigeons, a species at risk. Band-tailed pigeons are shy birds that rely on coniferous forests in which to nest. They come down to the mudflats in Port Moody’s Shoreline Park to eat calciumrich salt from the mudflats.

Unlike the other three species, they are never seen roosting on power lines.

I hope their critical habitat will remain unattractive to their three invasive cousins.

Tri-City swimmers bring home hardware Davis grabs golds, Hutt takes bronze at regional meet

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Port Moody Aquarians Swim Club member Linus Fung, 8, is the only diver in his age group in British Columbia.

Lucy Davis was a familiar face on the podium at the Simon Fraser Regional Swim Championships last week.

The 15-year-old Port Moody Aquarians Swim Club member took home gold in the 100 m freestyle, finishing with a time of 1:02.31, before taking another gold in the 50 m fly event with a time of 30.15. She won gold again in the 100 m fly with a time of 1:07.69 and tied for first place in the 50 m freestyle with Sayla Briggs of the Burnaby Mountain Mantas team, breaking the division record with a time of 27.88.

Davis, who often coaches some of the younger members of the Aquarians, has been selected to swim with the Regional Relay, a team that comprises of swimmers from across the district.

Now that she has made her way to provincials, she said her goal is to get more personal

Davis was not the only Aquarian to have success at the regional meet.

Tyson Hutt overcame a soccer injury sustained in the lead up to the regionals to win a bronze medal in his division in the 50 m fly event. He was also part of a relay team, which comprised of Kalen Murray,

Lucas Fong, Jacob Canales that finished third in the 200 m freestyle and 200 m medley.

Eight-year-old Aquarian Linus Fong qualified for the provincials in the 200 m medley relay and 200 m freestyle relay, along with teammates Liam Dungey, Graeme Sarte and Keegan Murray. Fong is also a diver but he is the only

competitor in his age group in the province.

Meanwhile, Dungey took silver in the 50 m freestyle, 50 m breaststroke and 100 m freestyle, while Sarte grabbed bronze in both the 50 m and 100 m freestyle.

Swimmers Connor Macmillan, Dylan Hewlett and Maxwell Macmillan took

first, second and third place for the 50 m fly event in his division.

In the individual events, Macmillan took first place in the 50 m freestyle, 100 m and 50 m fly, while grabbing silver in the 100 m freestyle. Hewlett came in third in the 200 m individual medley, second in the 50 m freestyle and 50 m fly event and gold in the 100 m freestyle event.

Eric Militaru placed second in the 100 m backstroke while other provincial qualifiers from the Aquarians include Ethan Yang, Mia Crawford, Severine Tyszewicz and Devinn Moore.

Cole Haaksma had a strong showing at the regionals for the Port Coquitlam Marlins Swim Club.

The division four swimmer dramatically improved his time in the 200 m individual medley, lowering it from 2:59.65 at the beginning of the year to 2:35.32, earning a gold medal in the process. He also qualified for the provincials in the 50 m and 100 m freestyle, the 100 m backstroke and the 200 m individual medley.

Comeback win gives Cards a championship banner

Cardinals down Burnaby Braves 8-7 in B.C. finals

come-from-behind victory during the provincial tournament.

In the semifinals against Victoria, PoCo trailed 4-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning.

However, Marcus Grzac placed a perfect bunt before Taylor drilled a two-run homer to tie the game. Marques later smacked a triple and was driven home by Strongman to complete the 5-4 comeback.

The gold medal win capped a 6-0 tournament

for the Cards, who defeated Vancouver, Campbell River, Mission and Kamloops on their way to the championship game. They entered the provincials with a strong 25-2 regular season.

The lineup also includes Nicholas Yu, Blake Shular, Kobe Sam, Matthew Frers, Kerry An, Nick Lindholm and Bryn Tomlins and is coached

There are seven innings in a bantam A baseball game and the Port Coquitlam Cardinals made sure to use every single one of them on their way to the provincial championship title last week in Chilliwack.

Down four runs in the sixth inning of the finals against the Burnaby Braves, Cards fans

could be forgiven for thinking the game was over.

PoCo batter Evan Callow had other ideas.

With two outs and runners on first and second, Burnaby walked Lyle Taylor, D.J. Marques and Connor Strongman to push in a run and load up the bases.

That’s when Callow pounded in a base-clearing triple to tie up the game at 7-7, leaving Jacob Anelozzi to bat in the game-winning run.

Mom passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 6, 2016. She is predeceased by her husband of over forty years, Alex, and leaves behind her sons David (Michele) and Chris (Mandy); grandchildren Jennifer (Alex), Danielle (Jean-Marc), Brittany, Jacqueline, and David; great grandchildren Austin and Charlotte; as well as many close friends throughout BC and Canada.

DAVIES, Cathleen Susan May 17, 1975 - June 25, 2016 Cathleen passed away suddenly on June 25, 2016 from a pulmonary embolism. She will be deeply missed by her loving mother, Linda Davies, her family, friends, and her two kitties, Maggie Mae, and Bailey. She is predeceased by her father, Jack Davies. Her celebration of life is to be held on Saturday, September 24, 2016, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the Old Mill Boathouse at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, 2715 Esplanade St. Give someone a flower to remember Cathleen by.

Mom suffered a stroke in March, 2015 and lived out her remaining year and a half between Acropolis Manor in Prince Rupert and Nicola Lodge in Port Coquitlam. Most of her life was spent in Port Moody, where her passion was boating all over the coast on their boat, the John Dee, and being an instructor with the Port Moody Power Squadron and later with the Sunshine Coast Power Squadron. Safe boating was a very important issue to her. She was proud to have achieved the lifetime merit award for over twenty years of volunteer service with the Canadian Power Squadron.

The Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 28th at Old Orchard Hall at 600 Bentley Road in Port Moody at 1:00PM. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to:

Phone Hours: Mon to Fri 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Office Hours: 9 am to 5 pm

WERNER, Nikolaus May 15, 1931 - August 14, 2016 We regretfully announce the passing of Nikolaus (Nick) Werner. Nick was a master tailor and the proud owner of Werner’s Men’s Wear. Nick loved hiking, mountain climbing, skiing, traveling, dancing and fishing. He loved to help people. He was a part of the Kiwanis Club for many years and served as President of the Club. He made friends wherever he went and those friendships lasted. What Nick loved most was his family.

He was predeceased by his son, Erwin in 1983, and is survived by his wife Justina, children Syglinda (Jan), Peter (Deanna), Rick (Deanna) and Debby (Tom), nine grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren, brothers Stephen and Tony; sister Olga; many nieces and nephews and relatives in Ukraine.

Special thanks to Dr. Taylor and the staff at Yale Road Centre for their care and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Society.
