Resales cool but building homes is hot Also: Coq. industrial vacancy rate is less than 1% GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The number of housing starts in Coquitlam jumped dramatically in the first six months of 2016 but the residential real estate market is starting to show signs of cooling, according to the deputy city manager.

During a council-incommittee meeting last week, John DuMont told council there is some uncertainty as to whether the upward trends in housing transactions seen over the last few years in Metro Vancouver will continue.

“Where the real estate market is heading now is a bit

of a question mark,” he told council. “There appears to be a bit of a cooling.”

The city’s semi-annual economic development activity report noted gradually increasing interest rates could dampen sales and that it would take some time before the impact of the provincial government’s recently instituted 15% foreign buyers tax would be seen in transaction figures.

DuMont’s statement echoed numbers from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV), which were released earlier this month. According to the REBGV data, the total number of transactions for detached homes, attached homes and apartments dropped 29% from 501 in July to 351 in August. see A 70% INCREASE, page 10

2016 COQUITLAM 55+ BC GAMES

Some 3,000 athletes took part in the Coquitlam 55+ BC Games last week and the number of competitions was large and varied, from dragon boat racing in Burrard Inlet to archery, from track and field to curling, and from road bike races to pickleball — and much more.

The games kicked off last Wednesday and wrapped on Saturday. The event was held in Coquitlam in honour of the city’s 125th birthday.

The victim of the Tri-Cities’ sixth murder of 2016 has been identified as 39-year-old Jason Leigh Zellmer.

The Surrey resident’s body was found early Friday morning when Coquitlam RCMP responded to a report of an abandoned vehicle in the 4900-block of Quarry Road in Coquitlam.

After the death was deemed suspicious, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team took over the investigation.

IHIT confirmed on Saturday that Zellmer met with foul play and died as a result of the injuries he sustained, adding his death does not appear to be random. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death as the investigation involving Coquitlam RCMP, the BC Coroners

A dozen inches of Rebecca Hansen’s long, brunette hair will be chopped Friday at an assembly before the annual Terry Fox school run — one of thousands happening at schools across the country this week. The Port Coquitlam hero attended Glen elementary in Coquitlam, where Hansen is a kindergarten/Grade 1 French immersion teacher. Her locks will be donated to make a wig for a young cancer patient if the school reaches its fundraising target of $4,500 for the Terry Fox Foundation (if it gets to $5,000, principal Sarah Husband will dye her hair and, at $5,550, vice-principal Ray Appel will be taped to a wall). “Terry went here and it’s nice to tell the kids that, one day, you can become a legend, too,” Hansen said. Also joining Hansen for the cause are Glen students Cloe Tsui, Isabel Guerin, Arianna Tisshaw and James Heinrichs.

Local police are taking part in a province-wide firearms amnesty starting Saturday so that people may dispose of any guns they have but no longer want. Officers will pick up the weapons at your home.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Got unwanted guns?

Cops will collect them you must phone to arrange pickup – no drop-offs SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Do you have unwanted firearms or weapons in your home? If so, you may want to take advantage of a firearms amnesty next month.

Throughout October, police departments in B.C. are joining forces to take in unwanted weapons and ammunition, whether they are documented or undocumented, and as long as they haven’t been used for a criminal purpose. Guns and ammunition surrendered during the amnesty will be destroyed.

Two previous amnesties, in 2006 and 2013, brought in more than 5,000 firearms — including 900 handguns and two machine guns — throughout B.C. About 127,500 rounds of ammunition were also collected. Among hundreds of other weapons surrendered were a rocket launcher, a military missile, historical rifles and antique bayonets.

Anyone interested in relinquishing their firearms should call either Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 or Port Moody Police at 604-461-3456 to arrange for officers to picked up weapons. Under no circumstances should anyone deliver firearms, weapons or ammunition in person.

The amnesty is in place from Oct. 1 to 31. Visit www. bc-gunamnesty.ca for more

SEARCH & RESCUE

Injured hiker rescued from Diez Vistas SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Search and Rescue (SAR) volunteers were called out Sunday afternoon to retrieve an injured woman from the Diez Vistas trail.

Search manager Ray Nordstrand said BC Ambulance called SAR at about 4:30 p.m. to rescue the woman. A crew of four began hiking up the trail while the Helicopter Extraction Transport System (HETS) was also initiated.

The woman was located at the second viewpoint, about an hour’s hike into the trail.

“The groups at the bottom… stabilized the woman, put a splint on her and carried her to a point

to pull her out by HETS,” Nordstrand said. She was then taken to hospital for treatment of a fractured ankle.

Nordstrand said the woman and her husband were lucky that they were at a high enough point to be able to use a cellphone to call for help but he emphasized that hikers should always have the 10 essentials (visit www. coquitlam-sar.bc.ca for the full list), including a signalling device.

“We’re also coming up to the time change, so there’s a concern with anyone hiking keeping track of limited light,” Nordstrand added. “A flashlight is one of the top things to carry.”

Evergreen prompts PoCo bus changes JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Shoppers in Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle will soon see new bus stops built as part of transit changes to accommodate the Evergreen Extension to Coquitlam.

PoCo city council voted this month to spend $17,500 to pay for half of the costs of the 16 new stops; the balance will come from Coast Mountain Bus Company.

The city’s funding will come from the road and drainage reserve, said Kristen Meersman, PoCo’s director of engineering and public works.

The wheelchair-accessible stops are expected to be in place before Dec. 19, when the bus service changes are to begin.

Under the Northeast Section Area Transit Plan, which was finalized last year, TransLink will eliminate or restructure redundant bus routes in the TriCities, including the 97 B-Line, 160, 169 and 190.

Port Coquitlam will get an all-day bus to feed into the Evergreen Extension — running every 15 minutes, Mayor Greg Moore said at last week’s city council meeting — as well as an expanded and di-

Downtown Port Coquitlam needs a facelift.

And city council wants home, business and property owners to have a say in its future.

City staff are asking for candidates to step forward to be a part of the new Downtown Action Plan Advisory Group, a six-month appointment to direct council on how to revamp the area around Shaughnessy Street.

The group will be chaired by Mayor Greg Moore and a consultant will lead the project, which is expected to get underway this fall. Among the topics the group will tackle are: how to attract the right developers and businesses; what lands need to be bought and sold for new developments; and how to create opportunities and offer incentives to spur growth.

The group of up to 12 members will include a mix of representatives from the PoCo Business Improvement Association, the development and real estate sectors, downtown business and property owners, non-profit organizations and the community.

Applications will be accepted until Oct. 17. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/downtown. For more details about the Downtown Action Plan, email littlej@portcoquitlam.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

rect service to the Dominion Triangle (a modified C37 bus route).

Moore said the Tri-Cities hasn’t had any more bus hours since 2009 — when the provincial government changed the TransLink governance model — despite the region growing

to the size of Burnaby since then.

No date has been set for the opening of the Evergreen Extension but, the rapid transit line is expected to open before Christmas. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

Trucks drive Quarry resident’s concerns Complaint to city over gravel trucks using gravel road GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

An increase in the number of dump trucks along Quarry Road in northeast Coquitlam has a nearby resident concerned about traffic safety.

Renato Spano, who lives in the area, said the gravel road has a number of narrow points, steep hills and sharp turns, making it treacherous for oncoming vehicles to safely navigate past each other. During a delegation presentation to council on Sept. 19, he asked the city to consider restricting trucks along the route.

“I have become very familiar with the road,” he said. “It can go from relatively good, smooth gravel conditions to extremely rough potholes,

sheer ice, flooding, washouts and trees and power lines down.”

The quarry operator, Lehigh Hanson Materials Limited (LHML), already barges out the bulk of its material, using trucks for some deliveries. For example, the company said last week 400 tonnes of aggregate was moved by road, which is the equivalent of 30 truckloads.

Spano said he would like the company to make all of its deliveries by barge, noting that Quarry Road is not capable of handling the increased traffic.

“It isn’t like I am trying to shut their business down,” he told The Tri-City News recently.

“They already haul the bulk of their materials out by barge.”

He added that it is not just Quarry Road residents who need to be concerned, noting that the truck traffic will increase on Victoria Drive and Coast Meridian Road as well.

Spano noticed the increase in truck traffic last May and

said after phoning city hall, he learned that Coquitlam had recently lifted its 75% load restriction for Quarry Road. According to staff, upgrades to several culverts and bridges along the route meant the restriction was no longer necessary.

Sophie Mullen, the company’s environment and land manager, said allowing trucks to use the road when they are 100% full means fewer vehicles will have to access the route.

“We are committed to ensuring that we continue to be good neighbours who are always keeping the community’s safety and health in mind as we work to mitigate any impacts our operation might have,” she said in an email statement.

Following Spano’s presentation to council, city staff were asked to look at the road to see if any upgrades were necessary to improve traffic safety. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

While property sales are down since the province imposed a 15% tax on real estate purchases by foreign owners, the number of housing starts in Coquitlam was up significantly in the first half of 2016.

REAL ESTATE

A 70% increase in starts for early ’16 continued from front page

The Tri-City figures track what is being seen in the rest of the region, where residential property sales fell 26% in August 2016 compared to the same month in 2015.

Still, the number of housing starts in Coquitlam was up significantly.

In the first half of 2016, the city saw a 70% increase in housing starts compared to the same time last year, outpacing the Metro Vancouver average of 49%. A report to council attributed the pace to low interest rates, employment and population growth and demand for homes in the area.

Residential real estate is not the only area experiencing strong demand in Coquitlam.

According to the city’s economic development activity report, the industrial vacancy rate is 0.9% — lower than the Metro Vancouver average of 1.5%. A staff report attributed

FRASER MILLS HEARING

A public hearing will be held next Monday to give Coquitlam residents an opportunity to weigh in on changes to the Beedie Development Group’s proposed Fraser Mills project.

The developer is asking council to allow it to reduce the industrial density on one part of the property and transfer it to another section that will be developed later. If the recommendation is passed, it would also allow a reduction in parking from 1.5 stalls for every 100 sq. m to one stall for every 100 sq. m.

The hearing will take place in council chambers (3000 Guildford Way) at 7 p.m. on Oct. 3. For more information, go to www.coquitlam.ca. the numbers to the fact that the low dollar has increased demand for Canadian exports.

“The demand for space is well in excess of the supply available and, as a result, lease rates are increasing and vacancy rates are decreasing,” said the document.

But given a lack of developable industrial land in Coquitlam, it is unlikely that the city will be able to ease its vacancy rates anytime soon.

The staff report stated that sales and leasing activity has slowed due to the lack of vacant space and that industrial inventory is expected to remain fairly consistent.

One project, the Fraser Mills site proposed by the Beedie Group, would add approximately 11,000 sq. m to the city’s existing 662,450 sq. m of industrial floor space in 2017.

OUR OPINION

How is it that food banks are considered ‘normal’ in Canada?

I

s it a coincidence that B.C. is seeing more families and seniors depending on food banks to survive and that the province’s minimum wage is $10.85 per hour?

Is it a coincidence that food banks are struggling to keep up with supplying the hungry and that Vancouver is one of the most expensive places in the world to live?

The folks who depend on food banks to survive don’t have the time or political energy to debate the whys and who is to blame for this situation. It’s all they can do to get up each morning and make sure their kids are fed or, if they are seniors, that they can make their way to a food bank and carry what they can home.

The gap between the haves and have-nots is widening. And with that gap comes the unfortunate tendency for those

who “have” to turn a blind eye to the problem.

There was a time in Canada when there were no food banks. We have become so used to food bank drives that we have come to accept them as part of the normal way of life.

The first food bank

was started in 1981 in Edmonton. Now, there are hundreds of food banks across the country and thousands of food programs.

According to Food Banks Canada, 13% of Canadians live in a state of food insecurity. They do not have reliable ac-

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

cess to adequate amounts of safe, good-quality, nutritious food. The number of people using food banks grew by 26% from 2008 to 2015.

This should not be considered normal.

If people can’t afford good and sufficient food because social assistance doesn’t pay them enough to live on, if people can’t afford good and sufficient food because they can’t live on the minimum wage, more food banks are not the answer.

Yes, we support Share Family and Community Services’ food bank and urge everyone to give as much as the can. We can’t allow neighbours and fellow Canadians to go hungry.

But if we are the “haves,” we should not shrug our shoulders and simply accept this as part of Canadian society.

DEVELOPMENT

MORE DEVELOPMENT

Those are a lot of towers Coronation The Editor, On Sept. 17, the “Fall Home Preview” section of the Vancouver Sun provided a startling artist’s perspective rendering of the redevelopment of Lougheed SkyTrain station precinct in Burnaby similar to the ad wrapped around the Sept. 23 edition of The Tri-City News The illustration showed about 20 mixed use towers jutting 40-60 storeys into the sky.

With the Evergreen Extension to start operation late this year, can the residents of the TriCities expect a similar vision for the new transit stations in their communities?

Or is it time for a new style of transit-oriented redevelopment? For example, many Canadians travel to Paris, Amsterdam and Dubrovnik to enjoy a European-style of urbanism. I suggest that the SkyTrain stations in Port Moody should be redeveloped in a more European style in order to maintain the city’s small-town feel.

D.B. Wilson, Port Moody

AND THE TRAFFIC...

The Editor, Re. “If you think traffic is bad

now in area of Austin/North…”

(Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept.

23).

I agree totally with letter writer Brian Robinson’s comments on the planned development of 23 highrises as eventual residences for 20,000 people in the North Road and Austin area.

Are they kidding us? This is beyond crazy. We have 10,000 people moving into Burquitlam and now 20,000 into Lougheed Mall area.

That’s just grand for Burnaby’s tax base but what does Coquitlam get for it?

Traffic gridlock, SkyTrain gridlock.

I work in Burnaby, lucky me — another 15 to 20 minutes added to my drive time.

I know it is Metro Vancouver’s master plan to build around SkyTrain stations.

But a new city? Give your heads a shake.

I was born and bred in Vancouver and Burnaby, now residing in Coquitlam. This is no longer the city I have loved all these years — and it will likely be unrecognizable in 20 years.

Brenda Viney, Coquitlam

dev’t makes a lot of sense The Editor, Re. “Big Coronation plans & concerns” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 21).

We must allow densification to happen within Port Moody in areas that are most appropriate for development.

Coronation Park land is ideally suited for growth.

Where else in Port Moody can you find such a significant and desirable location to develop for the future? It is within the 800 m border of the Inlet Centre transit station and: • approximately three quarters of the property owners (65 lots) are not resistant to selling for development; • the area is already flanked by Suter Brook, Klahanie and Newport developments as well as amenities like city hall, the Inlet Theatre, the recreation

This planned development just across the Burnaby border near Lougheed Mall has drawn letters from some worried readers.

complex, the library, town centre fields, plus the many shops, services and other attractions; • there are no environmentally sensitive areas.

• and the border of Coquitlam and Port Moody falls along Balmoral Drive, where the former Coronation Park school site and Palmer Avenue await a potential large-scale development.

Port Moody has evolved over the past decades into what it is now. It has not remained static. Trees have been cut down and roads and services installed creating new neighbourhoods — neighbourhoods where we now live. The time has come for Coronation Park to evolve into a new form to allow for continued growth.

Cops for Cancer rolls & raises $ Three Coquitlam RCMP officers were among the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast team that rolled in to Coquitlam’s Spirit Square Tuesday morning.

Sgt. Terry MacDonald and constables Tania Saunders and Soumia Abboub have been training throughout the year for the challenging ride, and have raised thousands of dollars to benefit childhood cancer research and support programs.

Last week, Saunders was in the hot seat as she shaved her head in order to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society and Camp Goodtimes.

“Cops for Cancer is a great opportunity for me to lend a hand for a cause that has touched me personally,” said Abboub in a release. “It’s an honour to be given this chance to fight alongside the brave children affected by cancer.”

Throughout B.C., more than 100 law enforcement and emergency services personnel are riding for up to two weeks across the province, stopping in more than 60 communities along the way.

Funds raised benefit the Canadian Cancer Society and Camp Goodtimes, for children with cancer and their families.

The Tour de Coast started on Sept. 21 and wraps up tomorrow.

RCMP officers and BC Ambulance paramedics are part of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast, which made several Tri-City stops yesterday, including at Coquitlam city hall.

DISTRICT 43

NEW OFFICE FOR BOARD? School District 43 needs a new board office to replace the outdated and cramped building currently housing staff and public meetings.

Board chair Judy Shirra confirmed staff have been asked to do more research on various options to replace the current building on Poirier Street in Coquitlam with an education learning centre, which could cost $20.1 million, according to the district’s five-year capital plan, approved last Tuesday.

“It’s getting to be an old building. It’s disjointed, it’s like a portable,” said Shirra, who said trustees toured board offices in Surrey and North Vancouver and liked the ideas they saw of buildings with offices that could be rented out or used for professional development.

“Rental revenue would be ongoing,” said the Port Coquitlam trustee. “It’s something we have explored.”

But she said the idea is still in the exploratory stage, and the building and cost would still have to be approved by trustees and the Ministry of Education.

Welcome

Celebrating Small Business Month Small businesses play a huge role in the Canadian economy.

Powerful contributors to innovation, jobs and GDP, more than 75% of businesses in Canada have fewer than 10 employees [Innovation, Science + Economic Development Canada statistics, June 2016].

The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce membership accurately reflects our local business community, with almost 80% of our members falling into the category of fewer than 10 employees. That’s a good reason for us to support, encourage and celebrate small businesses!

Gillian Kirk, Chair This month, we are joining Chambers and Boards of Trade Tri-Cities Chamber across Canada to commemorate Small Business Month. Our Chamber is launching an exciting new program and hosting a unique event that will help boost business for the majority of our members.

Our #ShopChamber program is an initiative that has been developed to stimulate business for our members by our members. With over 150 exclusive offers on products and services, this program encourages our members to support each other and to look to our local membership first for all their purchases.

The unique event we are hosting is our first ever Business Showcase on October 18th from 3pm – 8pm at the Executive Plaza Hotel Coquitlam. This event, open to the public, is a twist on the standard “old-school” style of tradeshow. With drinks, appies and even a DJ to keep the vibe going, we are proud to showcase the goods and services of over 50 Chamber member businesses. More than 300 attendees are anticipated to join us in the launch of this inaugural Chamber event, with a ticket price designed to encourage all to join ($15, available online at www.tricitieschamber.com).

I invite everyone in our community to join us in supporting and celebrating our own local small businesses. This month, make a point of shopping locally. Check out our online directory at www.tricitieschamber.com to source goods and services from our own community.

Unique Get Together Society

Who: Unique Get Together Society What: A community for children with special abilities Where: www.uniquegettogethersociety.com After spending a summer working with a young boy with Autism, Debra Abraham was so rewarded that she began working with a small group of children to provide childcare, education and entertainment.

When Debra stumbled upon the extreme lack of social recreation available for children with autism, she founded Unique Get Together Society, a place that focuses on children’s needs and abilities with special programming and day-to-day activities.

Unique Get Together Society offers a variety of services including behavioural intervention, respite care, mentorship programs and even a snoezelen room, a therapeutic and recreational room used to help children with developmental disabilities.

Throughout the year, they also host a number of recreational programs including, after school programs, hiking for parents and caregivers, spring and summer camps, summer nights and parents day off.

Tips for Creating Remarkable Website Content I could write dozens of suggestions for creating killer website content that will get you noticed. For now, here are four tips to consider.

1.

Don’t treat customers like fish you’re baiting – aim to help them instead! If you’re only trying to sell, sell, sell, eventually people who were paying attention will tune you out. Clients want to feel valued and that no problem is too small. Create content for your website (such as tips, worksheets, and videos) that helps address some of their smaller problems and they’ll look to you for help solving their larger problems.

2.

Ask the experts. Interviewing an expert, or having a guest blog post, on your website shows the customer a few favourable things about you. a. You’re looking out for what’s best for them by learning more. Customers love business owners who stay current and at the top of their game. b. You’re humble enough to approach others about their related expertise; this makes you more human and approachable to potential customers. c. You’re more interested in helping your customers than just making a sale (vs. refusing to acknowledge the existence of other experts who could ‘steal’ clients away).

3. Be bold and stand out. Being unique, and sometimes even controversial, gets you noticed. Bringing a fresh perspective to a topic can score you points with your clients and they’ll enjoy seeing the ‘real you’ shine through. Plus, people love to share their opinions; chances are you’ll get a lot of traffic as they share your blog with their friends, too. Show you’re an influencer and expert in your field.

4. Get testimonials! You can write about your products and services until the cows come home but what usually sells you to other people are glowing reports from happy customers.

Elgin Dental Group

SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Crews have been busy setting up booths and benches in preparation for the inaugural Port Moody Oktoberfest that gets underway this week. Organized by Coquitlam residents Fred and Erika Ledlin — with the help of some visiting Austrians to boost the lederhosen quotient — Oktoberfest will feature local PoMo breweries as well as authentic beer shipped from Germany by Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr.

Bavaria-inspired food, including schnitzel, pretzels and bratwurst, will keep thirsty visitors’ tummies full, all while enjoying authentic oom-pah-pah music. Oktoberfest takes place in the tennis courts behind PoMo city hall from Sept. 29 to Oct. 2 and from Oct. 7 to 9.

Admission to the general area with beer, wine, food, vendors and games for kids and adults alike is by donation. Access to the large beer tent (ages 19 and older) where the live entertainment will be located is $20, or $50 for a full festival pass. Proceeds will go to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation and the PoMo Curling Club, which has assisted in organizing the event. Info: www.oktoberfest2016.ca.

PROGRESS ON 2 BILLS An ePetition to back a private member’s bill by Port Moody-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly has collected nearly 5,000 names.

Donnelly, the NDP’s critic for fisheries, oceans and Canadian Coast Guard, is gaining signatures for Bill C-228, An Act to amend the Fisheries Act (closed containment aquaculture) that, if passed, would ban open netcage fish farms on the west coast.

Next month, at a press conference at Mossom Creek hatchery in Port Moody, Donnelly is expected to unveil the name of a Canadian celebrity who supports the planned legislation.

To sign Donnelly’s ePetition, visit ow.ly/ WSYA303wjT6.

As well, in the riding of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam, Liberal MP Ron McKinnon’s bill received unanimous support — without amendment — from the federal health committee this month.

His bill, C-224, the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act, is set to go to a report stage debate this fall. The intent of his proposed legislation is to provide amnesty to anyone reporting a drug overdose from being charged with drug possession.

Do you have a secret crust recipe up your sleeve, a fruit combo that wins rave reviews or a surprise twist that yields delicious results?

If so, you’ll want to tie on an apron and get cooking for the pie contest that will be the star of the show for the 15th annual Ioco Ghost Town Day on Sunday, Oct. 2. Everyone is welcome to submit a pie and put it up to the test for judging and a silent auction.

“It’s all for heritage and we will have prizes based on good, old-fashioned pies as well as innovative pies,” said Mary Anne Cooper, who has spearheaded the annual event since 2001 to promote the history of the Ioco townsite.

“I certainly hope we’ll get a good turnout,” Cooper added.

“It’s always a lot of fun and the pies that come in are very interesting. Last year, Mayor Mike Clay submitted a peanut butter pie — he made it himself, which was quite nice, and

SCARY STORY CONTEST

You’ll need these 3 scary words to win this story contest...

Curdle judges’ blood with your creepiest story

Teens are invited to channel their scariest thoughts into short works of literature for the annual Scary Story Contest this fall — just in time for Halloween.

To join the contest — which is a partnership between Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and The Tri-City News — Tri-Cities youths aged 11 to 18 years must write a terrifying tale and send it to the scary story email account.

A panel of gruesome judges will award first-, second- and third-place prizes to the three best entries in each age category (11 to 14 and 15 to 18) and some of the winning stories will

be featured in The Tri-City News before Halloween.

Rules for the contest are as follows: • Each entry must be no longer than 500 words.

• Writers must live or go to school in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore or Belcarra.

• Writers who submit entries must be no younger than 11 and no older than 18 on the deadline date of Oct. 19.

• Writers must include the following three words in their stories: apparition, scythe and fiend.

(Stories that do not include all three words will be disqualified. If you do not know what they mean, look them up in a dictionary.)

• Each writer must include his or her name, age, phone number and city of residence when they submit an entry. Writers:

If your city of residence is outside the Tri-Cities, please include the name of the Tri-Cities school that you attend.

• Writers must email their entries — either as a Word attachment or in the body of the message — to scarystorycontest2016@ gmail.com no later than Wednesday, Oct. 19.

Winners in each category will be given Coquitlam Centre gift cards worth $50 (first), $30 (second) and $20 (third). Some winning entries will also be published in The Tri-City News at the end of October.

Full contest details are on the Coquitlam Public Library and Port Moody Public Library websites. If you have questions about the Scary Story Contest, email librarian Chris Miller at cmiller@coqlibrary.ca or call 604-554-7339. newsroom@tricitynews.com

City of Coquitlam

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given that the City of Coquitlam will be holding a Public Hearing to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaw. This meeting will be held on: Date: Time: Location:

Monday, October 3, 2016 7:00 p.m.

City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2

Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing, Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the item on the Public Hearing agenda.

Item 1 Text Amendment – 2 King Edward Street – “Fraser Mills” The intent of Bylaw 4698, 2016 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to revise the distribution of the industrial density permitted on two of the lots in the CD-1 Comprehensive Development-1 Zone for the Waterfront Village Centre Neighbourhood, located at 2 King Edward Street and commonly known as “Fraser Mills”, resulting in a reduction of permitted density on Lot 1a and a transfer of this unused density to Lot 7a (as outlined on Figure 1).

Given the requested decrease in density, the proposed text amendment also seeks to amend the industrial parking standard for Lot 1a, reducing the parking standard from 1.5 stalls to 1.0 stall per 100m2. This proposed parking standard reduction will align Lot 1a with the City’s parking standard for other industrial zones.

Figure 1

H

ow do things function in a weightless environment?

That’s the question 1,600 School District 43 students in Grades 5 to 12 are asking as they work to come up with an experiment that could be tested by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

At the Sept. 12 school board meeting, officials announced that SD43 has been selected from among thousands of U.S. and other international schools and colleges to participate in the Student Spaceflight Experiments

Program (SSEP) run by the National Centre for Earth and Space Science Education.

Participating students are thinking up questions for an experiment to study how a weightless environment in zero gravity could affect physical, chemical or biological systems, such as seeds, crystals, bacteria and tiny aquatic life. They are working in teams of three to five, in classes or science clubs, to write a proposal for an experiment that could be transported in a small tube to the ISS and then carried out by astronauts. An equivalent experiment is done on the ground at the same time, with the winning team compiling the data and presenting it at a conference in July, 2017.

Only one team will be selected out of all those participating in a two-step process that will vet the experiment based on various criteria, in-

cluding safety.

Michelle Ciolfitto, learning services coordinator with SD43, told trustees that 300 students were expected to sign up to participate but 1,600 wanted to join SSEP, with 45 teachers involved, as well.

She said the space experiment ties in with the revised curriculum because it encourages students to work together to solve real world problems.

“Students usually learn and do a test,” she said. “[This encourages them] to ask what’s important, what do you know.”

Dr. Charles Best science teachers Wooje Choi and Brent Raabe said their physics and chemistry students will have to work quickly to come up with a space experiment proposal that hasn’t been tried before and meets the criteria.

Currently, students are learning about zero gravity (weight-

less environment) and brainstorming ideas, with the goal of having completed proposals by Nov. 4. “They need to have specific instructions that astronauts will do,” Rabbe said, adding “for sure this is an opportunity of a lifetime.”

And during last Friday’s pro-D day, participating students took part in a conference at Port Moody’s Heritage Woods secondary school to learn from Simon Fraser University grads how to do realworld science research, write proposals and come up with experiments that can go to space.

In addition to submitting project proposals, SD43 students from kindergarten to Grade 12 will have the opportunity to submit a design for a “Mission Patch” that may, if selected, also fly aboard the ISS. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

UP, UP AND AWAY? EXPERIMENT INFO • SD43 student teams will design an experiment to study the effects of microgravity on a physical, chemical or biological system, which could, if selected, be carried out aboard the International Space Station (ISS) over a period of a couple of days to a month in the spring of 2017. (A similar experiment will be conducted on the ground at the same time, with students gathering and analyzing the data.)

• Student experiments must meet specific criteria, including safety, and will be reviewed by experts, with the winning proposal announced by the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) National Step 2 Review Board at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC on Dec. 15.

• The selected mini-lab and instructions will be carried to orbit in a payload box, with the U.S. $24,000 cost to be paid for by supporting organizations. Among the partners in the SD43 program are: Simon Fraser University, Magellan Aerospace, Finger Food Studios, UrtheCast and MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates.

• To date, over 14,300 formal research proposals have been submitted by student teams with 185 experiments having been selected for flight.

• The experiment would be part of the SSEP Mission 11 payload to the ISS, currently planned to launch on a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Since the SSEP program started in 2010, 138 experiments have flown to the ISS and returned to Earth for analysis by their student flight teams.

• According to the European Space agency website, the International Space Station is flying 400 km above the Earth at speeds of 28,800 km/h. It takes only 90 minutes for the weightless laboratory to complete a circuit of the Earth and astronauts working and living on the station experience 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.

UBC psychology professor and neuro-psychological researcher Stanley Coren will speak at Douglas College’s Coquitlam campus next week. His topic: “How Dogs Think.”

DOUGLAS COLLEGE

How do dogs think? Find out next Mon. You can unravel the mysteries of man’s best friend and support Douglas College veterinary students during a special event next week.

Monday, Oct. 3, Stanley Coren, a UBC psychology professor and neuropsychological researcher best-known for his award-winning books on dogs, will present “How Dogs Think” at Douglas’ David Lam Campus, 1250 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, 7 to 9 p.m. in room A1470.

Diane Boyle, an instructor in the Veterinary Technology program at Douglas College, said the presentation will be entertaining as well as informative, especially for those interested in learning about the intelligence and psychol-

ogy of dogs.

“This is a great opportunity for dog-lovers and the general public to gain insight into the fascinating world of the canine brain,” she said in a press release.

The public lecture is part of Animal Health Week (Oct. 2 to 8), a Canada-wide public awareness campaign that promotes animal health and responsible animal ownership.

Tickets cost $10 for general admission or $5 for students, and are available through eventbrite.ca.

All proceeds will go to the Douglas College Veterinary Technology Bursary Fund and the SPCA Vancouver Hospital Trust Fund.

ooks! I love books — big books. Why not spend some screen-free time during your day reading a big beautiful book? Not only will your eyes appreciate a break from the screen, casually flipping through the pages is refreshing and fun. Often called coffee table books, these books get borrowed consistently from the library and are constantly catching my eye.

• Storyteller: The Art of Roy Henry Vickers by Roy Henry Vickers: This huge book is a visually appealing collection of works by the renowned Canadian First Nations artist.

Vickers’ artwork can be found all around the world and you can bring it into your living room from the library for free.

• Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words by Randall Munroe: You could spend hours looking at this book. Randall Munroe, creator of the comic xkcd has jammed a ton of visual information onto each page using simplified words and line drawings to help understand incredible things.

• Underwater Puppies by Seth Casteel: Do you like to smile? If you want to cheer up your day, stop by a library and

grab a copy. The book is just what the title describes: pictures of puppies underwater. I could tell you more but I am too busy looking at pictures of puppies underwater.

• Hamilton: The Revolution

by Lin-Manuel Miranda: Have you heard of the Broadway play Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda? Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and traditional theatre, the production depicts both sides of the American revolution. It has been immensely popular, with shows sold out months in advance. To see the show, you have to enter a lottery or pay hundreds of dollars. This book outlines the path the play took to become a critically acclaimed success.

• Franny’s Simple Seasonal Italian by Andrew Feinberg: It is that time of year again when pumpkin spice lattes appear in every coffee shop and our brain focuses on food. We start our routine of stockpiling carbohydrates in preparation for our annual hibernation. New Year’s resolutions are not even on the mind yet, so you might as well eat up now. Franny’s simple seasonal Italian food luckily has those carbohydrate-heavy foods you crave and lighter dishes if you want to move after eating.

Try your hand at making some authentic delicious dishes.

Don’t know what to read?

Head to your local library and browse the collection for some

GRAND OPENING 30, WEEKEND SEPTEMBER OCT 1ST & 2ND Visual Arts - Design - Collective Creation

Piano duo key into Musical Mornings this season at ECC A classical music series that has brought international acts to Coquitlam will be led this season by an acclaimed piano duo.

Pianist Sarah Hagen is taking a break from her Musical Morning series, which makes a stop at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on its tour.

Instead, the fifth round will be led by Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann, who have been featured artists of Hagen’s in the past.

The married couple, which has won the Dranoff International Two Piano and Provincia di Caltanisetta International Chamber Music competitions, will kick off the series next week at Evergreen with guest violinist Mark Ferris.

The Vancouver Opera Orchestra concertmaster and a member of the Yaletown String Quartet, Ferris will play songs with the Bergmanns ranging from Beethoven to the Beatles, on Oct. 5.

MARK FERRIS Calgary cellist Beth Root Sandvoss is up next on the bill, with a concert called Blue Autumn on Nov. 16. The recital is named after a composition

by Marcel Bergmann, who was commissioned by Sandvoss to pen the piece in 2006.

In the new year, the Bergmanns will team up with Rod Thomas Squance, a percussionist with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Land’s End Chamber Ensemble and Project

Copernicus — a Miami-based ensemble. Their show, From Bach to Brubeck, is on Feb. 8.

And, on March 29, Hagen returns to the Evergreen stage for a recital with the Bergmanns, called Three’s a Crowd… not!

Finally, the series ends on April 19 with L’historie du Tango, a concert featuring Paolo Bortolussi of UBC Music. Currently principal flutist with the Vancouver Island Symphony, Bortolussi is also on the music faculties of Kwantlen Polytechnic and Trinity Western universities.

As well, he is part of the famed Nu:BC Collective.

Musical Mornings begin with a reception at 10 a.m. that includes treats from Cobs Bread and Paradise Coffee; the 75-minute concert follows at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $22 or $15, or $85 for all five shows.

ARTS NOTES

Coq. filmmaker a finalist for int’l award on refugees A Coquitlam filmmaker will learn tomorrow (Thursday) if he is the winner of a prestigious international prize.

Alex Nagy, who created the short animated flick Helpful Hand, is one of three finalists in The Radcliffe Foundation competition to highlight the plight of refugees around the world.

The foundation, in collaboration with the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), launched the contest to encourage filmmakers to create a work — up to 60 seconds long — that “educates, inspires, engages, and empowers Canadians to take tangible action on the crisis.”

Among those on the jury are Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, Sarah McLachlan and the Honourable Louise Arbour.

Born in Romania and raised in Vancouver, Nagy produced Helpful Hand as a 3D computer-generated story about a little girl’s struggle to find a better future.

Nagy is up against Zeeshan Parwez, a filmmaker and musician from Peshawar, Pakinstan, who currently lives in Vancouver. A graduate of the Vancouver Film School, he

entered Humanity, a narrative to inspire Canadians to assist and support the resettlement of Syrian refugees.

Nagy also faces competition from Michele Hozer and Roxana Spicer, with their movie called Show the World, about a group in Prince Edward County that sponsored 28 Syrian refugees.

The Radcliffe winner will receive $20,000 and a screening at VIFF.

2016 NLL DRAFT

Messenger, Rogers get call to NLL Former Coq. Jr. Adanacs chosen in first round GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

Thousands of athletes from across British Columbia converged on the Tri-Cities for four days of athletic competition as part of the 55+ BC Games last week. Track and field events were held at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam, while rowing took place at Rocky Point and a golf tournament was organized in Pitt Meadows. The games were one of a handful of events the city of Coquitlam hosted as part of its 125th birthday celebrations this year.

55+ BC GAMES

Medals galore for Tri-City athletes at 55+ BC Games shannon, Dykstra take home golds in swim events GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam swimmer Len Shannon struck gold at the 55+ BC Games, taking home five first-place medals in the swimming pool last week.

Competing in the 70 to 74 age group, Shannon won the 25 m, 50 m and 100 m backstroke along with the 25

m and 50 m freestyle. He also took silver in the individual medley.

He was not the only TriCity swimmer to have success in the pool during the 55+ Games.

Port Coquitlam’s Aldert Dykstra took gold in the 200 m, 400 m and 800 m freestyle competing in the 75 to 79 age group, while winning bronze in the 50 m butterfly. He also won gold in the 200 m individual medley and a silver in the 100 m individual medley.

A team consisting of Renee Kinnear of Port Coquitlam,

Janet Murray of Coquitlam and Celia Hill and Dale Freeman of Surrey were first to cross the finish line in the women’s medley relay in the 60 to 64 age group. Kinnear also took first place in the 25 m and 50 m breaststroke and silver in the 100 m individual medley.

In track and field, Hayley Urith of Coquitlam had a strong showing, winning gold in the high jump and the pole vault in the 65 to 69 age group.

She later won another gold in the 100 m race and the 200 m hurdles while taking silver in

the 200 m race and the 50 m race. Andrew Natale grabbed five medals, winning silver in shot put, javelin and hammer throw while taking bronze in the weight throw and discus in the men’s 60 to 64 age category.

Port Moody’s Lori Graham won gold in the 5,000 m power walk, while taking second place in the 50 m sprint, discus, weight throw and javelin. She also finished the week with a bronze medal in shot put and hammer throw. see LOCALS, page 31

Two former Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs were chosen in the first round of the National Lacrosse League 2016 draft Monday night.

With their second overall selection the Toronto Rock took Challen Rogers, while Mike Messenger was chosen one pick later by the Saskatchewan Rush. Both players currently ply their trade in the NCAA and were in the Coquitlam Jr. A ranks during the 2011-’15 seasons.

“Today my dream came true,” Rogers said in a tweet shortly after his selection.

“Thanks to coaches, family and friends. Can’t wait to join the @ TorontoRockLax.” Being chosen second overall caps a busy year for the 22-year-old Rogers, who has been playing with Stony Brook University in New York, where he has amassed 22 goals and 37 assists in his senior year. He was a first team All-America East selection in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

But Coquitlam lacrosse fans probably remember him better as a strong two-way player who scored two goals and one assist during the Minto Cup finals in 2014. Over the course of his BCJALL regular season career the 6’4”, 205-lb. runner averaged 1.43 points per game, with 31 goals and 55 assists. He was also named the rookie of the year in 2012.

“I’m expecting big things out of him right away,” said Toronto Rock owner Jamie Dawick. “He is a big, strong, athletic kid. I think the NLL game is even better suited for him than the summer game. Of course there will be a little adjustment with the speed of the game, but he’ll be able to step in and contribute right away.”

Meanwhile, Saskatchewan Rush coach Derek Keenan said he expects Messenger to have a similar impact on his roster when the 2017 season gets underway.

The current New Wesminster Salmonbelly played his junior in Coquitlam, helping the club earn spots in the Minto Cup in 2014 and 2015.

These days the 6’2”, 220 lb. righthanded shooter has been calling Gaffney, South Carolina, ROGERS home, where he plays with Limestone College in the NCAA. “We’re really thrilled to get Mike Messenger on board,” said Keenan in a press release.

“He’s a big, physical defender who fits our style. He’s athletic, he’s got some skill to move the ball up the floor and is capable of taking faceoffs as well. We think he can come in and play right away.”

Five other players with ties to Tri-City lacrosse were also picked up in the NLL draft on Monday night.

James Rahe, a Robert Morris University player that was with the Jr. A’s during their 2014 Minto Cup run was selected

by Vancouver in the second round with the team’s 11th pick overall.

Matt Symes, who has split his BCJALL time between the A’s and the Port Coquitlam Saints before heading to the Maple Ridge Burrards earlier this year, was also selected in the second round by the Calgary Roughnecks. The 5’11”, 175lb. shooter is originally from Coquitlam and has been playing with Whittier College’s field team for the last few seasons.

Jr. Adanac Jordan Magnuson, fresh off the team’s Minto Cup win last month, was selected in the third round 23rd overall. He posted one goal and an assist in the 2016 Minto finals and has 64 regular season games under his belt where he amassed 58 points.

Keegan Rittinger, who played with Coquitlam in the BCJALL during the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons, was chosen in the third by the Calgary Roughnecks with the team’s 27th overall pick, while Taylor Stuart was picked up by Colorado in the fourth round.

Stuart has also played most of his junior career with the Adanacs and was with the team during its 2014 Minto Cup run before heading to Nanaimo earlier this year.

The Heritage Woods Kodiak alum currently plays with Ballarmine University in the NCAA. sports@tricitynews.com

The curling competition during the 55+ BC Games was held at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Al Percival, another Port Moody athlete, took gold int he 100 m and the 50 m in his 65 to 69 age group, while Coquitlam runner Elaine Whidden won gold in the 100 m, the 200 m and the 400 m race in the 60 to 64 age category.

High jumper Steve Whittemore topped the podium in his event, while Valerie Scott took gold in javelin, silver in the 200 m and bronze in the 50 m in the 60 to 64 age group.

Tri-City athletes were also well represented during the badminton event.

Kelvin Cheng of Coquitlam and Augustine Lau of Port Coquitlam took silver in the men’s badminton doubles, while Lillian Hsu and Hon Reiter, both of Coquitlam, won silver in the women’s event. Hsu also won gold in the women’s singles recreation category.

Ningjiang Xia and Samuel Tsang of Coquitlam took gold in the men’s badminton doubles, with Xia also winning gold in the singles event and Vera Zhang of Coquitlam winning silver in the women’s 70 to 74 badminton singles.

Coquitlam’s Huan-Ming Mao won gold in men’s 55-59 table tennis and Paul Wong took first in the 65-69 competitive event along with Timmy Chow who grabbed first place in the recreational event.

Gordon Betcher of Port Moody won gold in the men’s tennis event along with Joe Guiotto of Coquitlam, who took first place. John HyltonFoster, won in the singles 70 to 74 category.

Two Coquitlam residents brought home medals in pickleball, with Brenda Martel taking the 4.5+ singles event and Bob Weier winning first in the 3.5 singles event.

Denis Sigfusson and Florence Hurtubise of Coquitlam grabbed gold in mixed men and women lawn bowling on a team with Langley residents Edward and Jean Wagstaff. sports@tricitynews.com

As the busiest cardiac care centre in the province, Royal Columbian Hospital performs high volumes of open heart surgery and interventional procedures like angioplasty, serving one in three British Columbians across the largest and fastest growing health region in BC. A critical component of the hospital’s cardiac care is the catheterization lab. With its two cath lab suites, Royal Columbian
