Pimp gets 14 years & lifetime ban on internet Parents need to be aware, says Diane Sowden Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

A man who pleaded guilty to luring underage girls into prostitution was sentenced to 14 years in prison and will receive a lifetime ban from using the internet.

Michael William Bannon was accused of pimping out nine victims — some as young as 14 — and marketing their sexual services over the web.

The court heard how the 35-year-old used social media to lure girls and encouraged them to use drugs and alcohol, with one of the victims recently

passing away from a drug overdose.

Diane Sowden, the executive director of the Coquitlambased Children of the Street Society, an advocacy group for the prevention of child exploitation, called the sentencing “bittersweet.”

She told reporters outside of Vancouver Supreme Court Wednesday morning that she would have liked a longer sentence, noting that after time served is factored in, Bannon will only spend 10 more years behind bars.

“I feel that a sentence of 14 years is in the balance of past history,” she said. “But to serve just over 10 years doesn’t seem like it meets the impact it had on victims.” see SOWDEN, page 3

FENTANYL DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Millions of people around the world will be celebrating Chinese New Year today (Friday) as the Year of the Dog gets underway.

Wednesday, students at Terry Fox secondary school in Port Coquitlam got a taste of traditional Chinese culture when a group from Angel Entertainment Management Inc. demonstrated the Lion Dance that dates back 2,500 years. The performers acted out a routine that contains “Cai Qing,” which means to pluck the green. During this act, the Lion has to get tall enough to reach a head of lettuce that is hanging from the ceiling, then spits out the lettuce and those who grab it will be blessed.

A local church will host a forum next week on fentanyl, an opioid that has taken many lives: page 3

THE OPIOID CRISIS

Cops, grieving families to talk fentanyl Thursday ‘The whole goal is to remove stigma and offer hope’

said Brad Strelau, who is a pastor at the Port Coquitlam campus of CAChurch.

It’s a timely topic as a recent BC Coroners Service report noted fentanyl was detected in 21 of 29 illicit drug overdoses in 2017 in Coquitlam, up from eight in 2016. Province-wide, there were 1,422 illicit drug overdose deaths in B.C., with fentanyl detected in 81.3% of all cases.

“We figured this was such a hot topic and we’re hoping it will be a crowd because it’s important,” said Strelau, adding that speakers will include members of the Vancouver

Fentanyl and its impact on the family will be in sharp focus next week when a local church group hosts a community meeting on the topic.

CAChurch is hosting a fentanyl forum Thursday in Port Coquitlam.

in B.C. “The whole goal is to remove stigma and offer hope,”

Police Odd Squad, recovery workers, doctors and families, who will each bring their own personal perspective to the conversation.

Among those who will be on the panel are the parents of 21-year-old fentanyl victim Jaelyn Innes. Julie and Jim Innes, who previously attended the CA Church, lost their daughter to an accidental overdose last April. Fentanyl was found in her toxicology report and her parents are now advocating for better drug education about fentanyl in schools and for parents.

event is free and open to all; School District 43 has donated the use of the Terry Fox Theatre to accommodate a large crowd.

Strelau said the church has seen a few families that have “walked through loss” because of fentanyl and next Thursday’s event will be an opportunity to talk about “things that are on people’s hearts.”

It’s one of a number of seminars the church has hosted in its Peace by Piece series on various topics, mostly to do with mental health. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

KEEPING KIDS SAFE

Sowden on prostitution: ‘it’s all through the internet – a volume-based business’ continued from front page

NEW LOCATION

Still, Sowden welcomed Bannon’s guilty plea, noting that it spared his victims the trauma of having to testify at trial. She said she was also happy that the court imposed a lifetime internet ban, noting computers were Bannon’s tool for luring victims.

“He also has a ban against firearms,” she said, “but the weapon that he used was the internet, so of course take that weapon away.”

Bannon, who has been in custody since July 2015, wore a red prison outfit and white shoes when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gregory Bowden pronounced the sentence. The accused, who had a ponytail and beard, stared at the floor for most of the hearing and said he did not wish to speak when the judge asked if he would like to make a statement.

The court heard that Bannon communicated with clients and made arrangements for meetings while taking 50% of the proceeds, which were often paid in cash or drugs.

During their investigation, police found hundreds of messages between Bannon and clients, and in at least one instance, said he posed as the father of a victim to school authorities. There were also numerous advertisements on the internet that investigators said Bannon created marketing the victims’ services.

Crown counsel Geordie Proulx said he believed a 14-

Children of the Street Society executive director Diane Sowden told reporters Wednesday that while she would have liked to have seen Michael William Bannon receive a longer sentence, she is happy he pleaded guilty and spared his victims testifying at trial. year sentence would serve to denounce the behaviour and deter other perpetrators from engaging in similar activity.

“Men of like mind that think they can pray on vulnerable young women will know what happens to them if they’re caught and prosecuted,” Proulx said.

As part of his sentence, Bannon will have to register as a sex offender and provide a DNA sample to the court. He will also be prohibited from communicating with any of the victims involved in his case or anyone under the age of 16 unless approved by the court.

Proulx credited police for

their investigation and told reporters the sentencing shows the courts are taking the issue of child exploitation seriously.

“It’s a new world out there,” he said. “It’s not like the old days where young girls and young women plied the streets.

It’s all through the internet — a volume-based business. The opportunity to earn money is maximized and the opportunity to victimize girls is maximized.”

Sowden, who is also a Coquitlam school trustee, said parents need to be proactive and educate their children about the dangers of child luring and exploitation.

While it may be difficult to

keep up with the latest social media trends, she said parents need to know the issues and the technology. They also need to be non-judgmental, she added, and make their children comfortable talking to them about the risks.

“It is not a one-time conversation,” she said. “It is ongoing.”

She added that people like Bannon are con artists who know how to connect with young girls.

“To a young person, they want to be cool and they want to be adults,” she said. “He used that to manipulate them. He promised them things that were too good to be true.”

Yet another phone scam is circulating in the Tri-Cities and this one has police warning residents to beware of phoney callers identifying themselves as cops.

Port Moody Police Department, in a release, said it recently became aware that some residents have received scam telephone calls during which an automated voice message identifies the caller as a police investigator. The message instructs the victim to return the call immediately or risk further police investigation.

Such calls are most likely some form of scam, Const.

Jason Maschke said in a statement.

“In most instances, should you receive a call from a legitimate police officer, they would clearly identify themselves by name, rank and section, as well as identifying their respective police agency,”“ They would also provide a legitimate return telephone number to call.

The threatening scam is similar to one popular during tax season, now underway, in which someone claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency and warns of immediate arrest if payments are not made via the internet or Western Union. Neither of these types of calls is legitimate and neither the police nor the CRA will ever call and demand immediate electronic payment to clear an arrest warrant.

“If it sounds suspicious, it most likely is,” Maschke said.

Anyone with information about scams of this sort is asked to call PMPD at 604-461-3456 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

More information about telephone fraud is available at crtc.gc.ca/eng/phone/telemarketing/fraud.htm.

ANOTHER CASE

In another case, Sowden is waiting to learn what the sentences will be for Tamim Albashir, 26, and Kasra Mohsenipour, 25, who were found guilty of 17 of 19 charges in connection with offences

committed against female victims — including a 15-yearold girl — in Vancouver, Port Coquitlam and Edmonton. The crimes include recruitment, prostitution and trafficking in persons, and occurred from May 2013 to April 2016. The two appeared via video link at B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday and sentencing was set for July 4. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Burke parents are pushing for second elementary school Families ask for Sheffield as well as Smiling Creek Diane StranDBerg The Tri-CiTy News

A group of Burke Mountain parents hopes the squeaky wheel gets the school.

Although Smiling Creek elementary is just months away from opening in the fast-growing area of northeast Coquitlam, parents whose children were unable to get in want another planned school, Sheffield elementary, built as soon as possible and are lobbying the province for funding.

“We’ve seen this time and time again: If we don’t push our agenda and make sure our voices are heard, we get ignored,” said Isabel Silvestre.

She recently sent a letter to Education Minister Rob Fleming and is urging other parents to do the same to send a message that another elementary school is needed on Burke.

“The lack of schools brings out a number of issues,” said Silvestre, whose son is in Grade 3 at Our Lady of Assumption

school because there was no room in Leigh elementary, his neighbourhood school, and he was shut out from Smiling Creek for being out of catchment.

“I think it’s unfathomable that in a country like ours — where we are one of the top countries in education internationally… yet in B.C., we can’t get access to schools within our neighbourhood.”

In her letter to Fleming, Silvestre said parents lined up at 5 a.m. to register for Smiling Creek, only to be told they were not in the catchment, forcing parents to drive outside the community, causing daycare challenges and stress for those who don’t know where their kids will go to school while they wait for the cross-catchment process to conclude.

Silvestre, who moved to the area five years ago, contends there was lack of foresight to put in infrastructure that was needed for the growing population.

“We should have the social infrastructure in line with development,” she told The TriCity News.

The urgency of the need is not lost on School District 43,

Leave a comment on our Facebook page. which put Sheffield at the top of its capital plan last year and is fronting costs for the project development report and initial stages of design for the building, which is to be located at 3538 Sheffield Ave. But Silvestre said she’s concerned that if the province doesn’t announce funding this year, parents will have to wait longer to get their children into a neighbourhood school even as new families move into the area.

Meanwhile, Burke Mountain parents are also awaiting an announcement of funding for a $70-million blended middle and high school so their children will be able to attend at least some of their school years in their neighbourhood. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandberg

HELPING HANDS

Food bank on 4 wheels to serve PoCo Focus is on fresh food for those in need in PoCo Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Families with limited means living on Port Coquitlam’s north side will get a little extra help in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables from a food bank on wheels.

Beginning March 8, a refrigerated food truck will drop by Birchland elementary school (1331 Fraser Ave.) once a month to provide healthy hampers for registered families.

“We thought to go right where people are,” said Craig Savage, co-ordinator of the PoCo branch of the City Reach Care Society, which is affiliated with the Broadway Church.

A similar program runs in Vancouver through the church, providing dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables. The mobile food bank also goes to Broadway Church’s PoCo location on Cameron Avenue, where a monthly clothing sale is also held, and with the mobile food truck now going to PoCo’s northside, more people can take advantage of the service.

Savage told The Tri-City News it’s apparent there is a need because a number of families have already signed up to get food at

CRAIG SAVAGE Birchland, including seniors, while about 30 families use the monthly food bank at the Cameron Avenue location.

(And this is in addition to the hundreds of families across the Tri-Cities who are helped by Share Family and Community Services’ food bank.)

“They are all very appreciative,” Savage said of the service, which also provided special hampers for more than two dozen families at Christmas.

Savage acknowledged Share already runs a successful food bank in Coquitlam, PoCo and Port Moody but he said the City Reach program’s focus on fresh fruit and vegetables with a refrigerated truck makes it different.

“It’s something that’s been operating in Vancouver for several years, and I think they were just seeing a need for healthy options for families. It was started with a grant to promote

healthy things for families — we’re kind of past that period — but we kept it going and we decided to expand out to the TriCities with a similar program.”

Families pay a one-time $5 registration fee to enrol in the program and are asked to bring ID for all members of the household. People can visit one or the other PoCo mobile food truck once a month, but not both.

Food comes from donors and regular suppliers as part of a partnership the City Reach Care Society has with a number of agencies. As well, fundraising is an important component of the program and on Feb. 24, the organization is hosting a “Coldest Night of the Year” fundraising walk.

As well, volunteers are welcome to assist with registration and other duties, Savage said.

“When people think of helping low-income folks, a lot of time we think the Downtown Eastside [in Vancouver] but there’s many families that are finding it’s difficult to live in Metro Vancouver. It’s an expensive place to live.”

• The Food for Families mobile food bank will be at Birchland elementary school, 1331 Fraser Ave., PoCo from 2:30 to 4 p.m. on March 8, April 12 and May 10. For more information, email craigs@cityreach. org or call 604-254-2489. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Welcome to Canada. You don’t have to shell out for police officers’ gas Police, SUCCESS team up to teach local newcomers GarY MCKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

When Shakel Al Sultani was living in Baghdad, phoning the police was an expensive proposition.

“It cost a lot of money,” he said. “If you don’t have the money, they don’t help you.”

When he arrived in Canada seven years ago, he said he was surprised by the different attitudes and expectations about the role police play in the community.

“It is different here,” he said, “very different.”

Al Sultani’s experience is not unique, according to Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jennifer Goodings.

With the help of Juliana Shek, a settlement practitioner with the SUCCESS Immigration and Settlement Integration Program, she held a presentation last Friday to help newcomers to the country gain a better understanding of Canada’s legal system.

CONST. JENNIFER GOODINGS

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Many newcomers to Canada misunderstand the role police play in our communities, which is why the Coquitlam RCMP, working with the SUCCESS Immigration and Settlement Integration Program, hosted a presentation last week for immigrants explaining how policing works here.

Goodings gave a tour of the Coquitlam RCMP detachment and walked a group of about two dozen people through a presentation covering everything from what to expect during a basic traffic stop to when it is appropriate to call police.

Participants also got the opportunity to learn about police forensics and to sit in a patrol car.

Some of the questions she fielded at the end of the workshop — “If you’re in jail, can you pay money to get out?” and “How much does it cost to call 911?” — gave a hint of the different experiences of some newcomers in their home countries.

For Goodings, the questions are not surprising.

Deadline to Apply - March 1st

She was born in Kenya and although she left the country when she was a baby, she recently visited and said the difference in police practices can be jarring to people who grew up in the west.

“Sometimes, when you call the police, they ask you if you have money for petrol. They can’t get to your house if they

don’t have gas money,” she told The Tri-City News, saying she worries some immigrants may be reticent to phone the police for help if they believe it will cost them money.

Besides enlightening new Canadians about policing practices in their new home, inviting them to the detachment to teach them about the police helps build trust with officers, Goodings said, noting some may not feel comfortable turning to officers for help based on experiences they have had in their homeland.

Qingyi Jia has only been in Canada for a month and said Friday’s presentation taught him a lot about what to expect

when interacting with police.

Originally from China, he said it is common for police there to get physical and use intimidation even during routine interactions.

“They feel it is the norm for the police to push you,” he told The Tri-City News through an interpreter. “Intimidation they feel is the norm.”

Getting out of disputes with the police is also different in China, Jia said. Relationships are important, he said, and often people “can get out of the problem” if they know an officer or are friends with someone in the local police force.

Asked whether he trusted the police in China, he responded: “It is a very complicated question.”

SUCCESS’ Shek said it is important for newcomers to meet with police directly to learn about the differences in the Canadian justice system compared to their country of origin. “A lot of them have misunderstandings,” she said.

“I really wanted them to know the proper procedures. Rather than hearsay, I want them to experience it for themselves.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Port Moody council is considering a ban on single-use plastic shopping bags and styrofoam containers.

PORT MOODY

PoMo considering ban on plastic bags Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody is considering banning the use of single-use plastic shopping bags and styrofoam containers.

But such a ban won’t happen until businesses, interested stakeholders and the public have had a chance to weigh in on the idea.

At Tuesday’s city council meeting, councillors passed a motion directing staff to prepare a timeline for that consultation process to happen.

In a report presented to council, the city’s environmental protection committee also recommended city staff monitor how similar initiatives to ban the use of plastic bags are proceeding in Vancouver and Victoria to get a better idea of the various challenges such a ban might bring.

In Victoria, businesses will no longer be allowed to provide plastic bags to their customers beginning July 1. But last month, the Canadian Plastic Bag Association filed a petition in court challenging the city’s authority to enact a ban.

Coun. Meghan Lahti said a slow, cautious approach is prudent given the potential impact on local businesses.

“This is not something you can do overnight,” she said.

“There is a lot of work to be done to accomplish this.”

But other councillors want the process towards a ban to move more quickly.

“We can’t wait for these kinds of initiatives,” said Coun. Zoe Royer, adding Port Moody was the first city in British Columbia to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides.

Coun. Hunter Madsen warned that being too cautious

“increases the likelihood we’ll find lots of reasons we can’t move forward.”

While Mayor Mike Clay supported the idea of more consultation, he questioned whether the city might, in fact, be creating more problems by enacting such a ban as most people reuse their plastic shopping bags in a variety of ways.

“We’re targeting something that isn’t that great a problem in our community,” Clay said, adding he sees more trash comprised of discarded coffee cups than plastic bags.

But Coun. Royer said regulating the use of plastic bags and styrofoam containers is the first step in getting people to start thinking differently about packaging and garbage.

“It’s a local problem, it’s a global problem,” she said. “It’s a problem for everybody.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

“We need to hear from more people,” she said. “We need to continue that conversation.”

Coun. Barbara Junker said the process needs to move forward so the city can keep its options open — and one option is for it to not sell the properties.

“We need to see what these options are before we say no,” she said. “We will listen to the public. Developers will not tell us what we’re going to do.”

Prior to the public hearing, the city will also invite feedback from other stakeholders, including School District 43, Metro Vancouver, Fraser Health, TransLink, the city of Coquitlam and First Nations.

The City of Coquitlam will be receiving the input requested herein up to Tuesday, February 20, 2018. Written correspondence can be provided in one of the following ways:

included as exchange for allowing the construction of higher density housing.

Some councillors said that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

Coun. Rob Vagramov said the property “belongs to all 35,000 people in the city” and allowing it to be sold for redevelopment “could be one of the biggest mistakes we make as a council.”

Coun. Hunter Madsen said previous opportunities for public input on the proposed amendments, such as last week’s meeting of the community planning advisory committee at which several speakers voiced their dissent, to applause from a packed gallery at city hall, are an indication “the public is clearly not in favour of this.”

Port Moody residents will get a chance to weigh in next month on the future of the property that contains the old fire hall, at Ioco Road and Murray Street, and the city’s public works yard a little further west on Murray.

At its meeting Tuesday, Moody council gave two readings to amendments to zoning bylaws and the city’s official community plan that could pave the way for redevelopment of the property, which would be subdivided at Suterbrook Creek into two lots.

That paves the way for a public hearing March 27 at city hall.

The city wants to rezone the property from public service to comprehensive development and change its OCP designation from public and institutional to mixed use to allow its potential sale and redevelopment into a high-density neighbourhood of condo towers and commercial space as well as a new library, possible seniors housing, greenways and public walkways and plazas, which could be

PORT MOODY

Shuttle bus gets green light from PM council Trial run for bus service during the summer months Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Moody will apply to TransLink to operate a shuttle bus this summer connecting the Inlet Centre and Moody Centre areas.

At its meeting Tuesday, city council endorsed a staff recommendation to proceed with the 10-week pilot program and directed the city’s finance committee to come up with ways to fund its $50,000 cost.

If the service is approved by the TransLink board, the city will contract an independent operator to provide and drive the shuttle buses that can hold 20 to 24 passengers, or 10 to 16 passengers plus two to four wheelchairs for an accessible bus.

The service, operating from June through August, would run every 20 to 30 minutes on Fridays from 4 p.m. to midnight, and from 2 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays. It would likely make stops at places such as Newport Village, Port Moody Public Library, Rocky Point Park/Brewers’ Row and the

Moody Centre and Inlet Centre SkyTrain stations.

Coun. Barbara Junker said the shuttle could provide some much needed relief for traffic congestion along Murray Street, especially during busy summer weekends when events are scheduled at Rocky Point Park.

“We need to do something,” she said of the traffic snarls that often have to be managed by extra police. “Let’s find a way to move them in and not use cars.”

But Coun. Hunter Madsen said the service would be a “pretty inefficient use of taxpayers dollars.”

He said even if the service operates at full capacity for the duration of the pilot program, each trip would end up costing the city $4 to $6 per passenger.

“At a time when we’re struggling to keep tax increases down, I think we have more material uses for $50,000,” said Madsen, who, along with Coun. Rob Vagramov, voted against the project.

Mayor Mike Clay emphasized the program is just a trial, to determine if it might be viable in the long run.

“We try it out,” he said. “The surest way not to change anything is not to do anything.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

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 bylaws.

This meeting will be held on:

Date:

Monday, February 26, 2018

Time:

7:00 p.m.

Location:

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

Item 1

Text Amendment to Address Flood Protection Measures The intent of Bylaw 4828, 2018 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 by implementing text amendments and replacing the existing Schedule G with an updated version depicting the designated floodplain of the Brunette, Coquitlam, Fraser and Pitt Rivers in order to update the flood protection requirements for development located within these designated floodplain areas.

If approved, the proposed zoning amendments would amend Part 5 General Regulations, Section 519 Flood Protection and Slope Control Measures and would establish an appropriate flood construction level for affected development sites as specified in the Provincial Flood Hazard Area Land Use Management Guidelines. The proposed flood plain protection requirements would require that a specific level rise of 1.0 metres for year 2100 and 2.0 metres for year 2200 will be taken into account for development occurring within designated floodplain areas.

Item 2

Text Amendment to Permit Backyard Suites in the RS-1 and RS-3 One-Family Residential Zones (Housing Choices Phase 1 Expansion) The intent of Bylaw 4807, 2018 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 in order to permit ‘backyard suites’ (garden cottages and carriages houses) in the RS-1 and RS-3 One-Family Residential zones across Southwest Coquitlam, as part of the proposed Phase 1 expansion of the Housing Choices Program.

If approved, the proposed amendments will allow homeowners to have: • Either a secondary suite within the main dwelling or a ‘backyard suite’ on lots with areas less than 740m2 (7965 sq. ft.); and • Both a secondary suite within the main dwelling and a ‘backyard suite’ on lots with areas 740m2 (7965 sq. ft.) or greater.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Bitumen battle

Can b.C. stop the Trans Mountain Pipeline simply by asking for more studies on bitumen?

Certainly, alberta Premier Rachel Notley thinks so, and is backstopping her claims with a ban on b.C. wine, cancellation of talks on the purchase of b.C. electricity, creation of a task force to explore the matter and an online tool for Canadians to comment.

There is no doubt the b.C. government wants to slow, if not stop, the pipeline that will triple the capacity of the current system. Like Notley, who is facing her own electorate, Horgan has to at least show that he takes seriously concerns about tankers full of bitumen cruising b.C..’s coast if he wants the bC Green Party to stay the course and numerous british Columbians to back his party if an election is called. but is this independent review of oil-spill readiness a deal breaker? Surely, a government is within its rights to seek assurances that an oil spill won’t devastate its coast. depending on your reading of this initiative, it’s either a fullblown attack on the pipeline project or simply a logical next step for a government that has come late to the file.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:

Do you support the provincial government’s DemanD for more stuDies on bitumen?

last week’s question:

Do you think the legal pot inDustry will push black market pot out of canaDa?

ON THE ROAD

Should cyclists have insurance? Heck, yes!

I

wish I could pay ICbC to insure my bike to ride on public roads.

Every time someone says, “If cyclists wants to be allowed to ride on the roads and have the same privileges as cars, they should have to have insurance,” I tell them they are absolutely right.

What? a cyclist saying yes, he should have to insure his bike?

I’m serious.

Please, let me pay to insure my GEORDIE bike but with one condition: That McGILLIVRAY insurance must give me the same benefits as a motorist. as an example, I pay ICbC $35 a month to insure a Honda scooter, which I think is comparable to a bike. Sure, it has a gas engine but it has a top speed of just over 50 km/h, it’s only allowed on roads (not highways) and, just like a bike, it can be stolen in under 60 seconds. So let’s pretend I now have bike insurance through ICbC for $35 a month that matches the same coverage as my scooter. How would things be different from how they are now?

“Currently, if my bike is locked up but stolen, I’m responsible for the entire cost. If a motorcycle or scooter is stolen while insured, ICBC pays for the entire cost.”

Currently, if I’m riding my bike on the road and hit a large pothole, lose control of the bike and crash, injuring myself and damaging my bike, I am responsible for 100% of the costs — that’s up to $3,000 for a new bike plus all physical rehabilitation costs. a motorcyclist who hits that same pothole, crashes and gets injured will pay a $300 deductible and every other cost is paid for by ICbC. Win: Insured Motorist.

Currently, if my bike is locked up but stolen, I’m responsible for the entire cost of replacing my bike for $3,000. If a motorcycle or scooter is stolen while insured, ICbC pays for the entire cost of a replacement. Win: Insured Motorist.

Currently, if I’m negligent and I crash my bike into a car on the

road, break my wheel and bars, and damage the car, not only am I responsible for all the costs to repair my bike — let’s say $1,000 in this case — but I then have to work with ICbC as well as police if they were called, and settle the repair costs to the vehicle. That would be $2,500 out of my pocket instead of a $300 deductible.

Lose: Uninsured Cyclist.

Currently, if another cyclist runs into me, damaging my bike — and that person then rides away from the scene — I’m responsible for the full costs of the repair or replacement of my bike. If a cyclist hits a car, damages it and then rides away, then the motorist only has to pay a $300 deductible. Win: Insured Motorist.

How could I not want insurance like motorists have?

Cyclists would save thousands of dollars and passing it on to ICbC, just like motorists do. ICbC would be paying out millions more every year in bike replacement and repair costs. I’d be so happy because just like motorists, I would rarely be out of pocket whether an accident is my fault or not.

Then we could cue up all the complaints from people saying cyclists should not be allowed to have insurance on their bikes.

I’m sure of it.

PORT MOODY

‘Higher purpose’ for PoMo land The Editor, Re. “Land proposal goes back to PM council with CPAC approval” (The Tri-City News, Feb. 9).

I attended the recent committee meeting at Port Moody city hall. Many pleas were made to preserve the former fire hall and current works yard sites for a higher purpose — and I don’t mean a taller purpose.

The site of this land is special: It’s central. It breaks up the commercial landscape between Newport Village and Suter Brook Village with a treed area. It potentially expands the footprint of the civic and recreational facilities.

Supporters of this project may think a win-win can be found, with a developer paying for public amenities on site. If that is the case, let’s be clear about our must-haves at the outset. A park on site? Familysized and affordable units? A waterslide? How about strictly a car-free building, considering the adjacent intersection?

The bigger problem is that residential towers are not the best use of this land. This location is ideal for building some-

Let’s be creative, let’s support more of what makes Port Moody one of the Lower Mainland’s most familyfriendly communities.

A property at the corner of Ioco Road and Murray Street that used to house Port Moody’s main fire hall. thing to define Inlet Centre as a neighbourhood and to showcase local heritage. I could see moving the cramped Port Moody Station Museum to this spot, using the museum’s iconic pieces to define the space. It could have a large outdoor space, stroll-up cafe and recreation opportunities, such as outdoor pickleball courts, a sheltered playground and a plaza space (please, somewhere to take our kids in the rain).

In the longer term, the area

could be built up with larger civic buildings, like a school or library, as the population grows.

And where would the funds come from for a city-led development? How about selling or leasing the land where the museum currently sits? Hint: It’s on Brewery Row. Not an option? Well, I wouldn’t complain about higher property taxes for this or another exciting vision to break ground. And judging by turnout at the meeting, I don’t think I’m the only one.

The Editor, I’m writing to voice concerns about the community planning advisory committee meeting held in Port Moody on Feb. 6.

Having lived in the Tri-Cities my whole life, the last 10 years in Port Moody, I love the urban living with a small-town community feel. I love the highrises and the communities they create within our city. Never before have I felt such a wonderful community feel as I do in Suter Brook.

But let’s be sensible in the decisions we make. Changing the old fire hall and current works yard zoning, in my opinion, is short-term gain for long-term pain. The little green spaces that developers create are lovely but nowhere near enough for the community’s needs now, let alone when all the density increased

from planned or proposed Coronation Park development, Electronic Ave development and Moray Street development, etc.

Rocky Point Park is lovely but not big enough as is. Imagine the old fire hall and works yard properties being preserved by this city council — and it was quite apparent at this meeting and many before that this is the wish of the majority of people — within the same land use as is currently in the OCP. What a wonderful space this would be for future generations.

Finally, the city proposing to the committee to change the OCP seems unethical to me. If the city wants an OCP change that could potentially result in the sale of city property — especially in an election year — residents should have their say in the form of a binding referendum held in conjunction with the council election in October.

There’s no hurry. Let’s do this the right way and make sure the majority of Port Moody residents agree before such a big decision is made.

TRI-CITY HERITAGE

Travel back in time (and by bus) at PM heritage event Sat. There won’t be a time-travelling DeLorean parked in front of Port Moody’s civic centre tomorrow (Saturday) but visitors will still be able to get a taste of days gone by in the city as part of its Heritage Day celebration.

Vintage vehicles, including a 1957 bus that was in service in Victoria and Abbotsford until 1990 and has now been turned into a transit museum, will be parked in front of city hall (100 Newport Dr.) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The trip into the past continues inside with free activities and performances such as oldfashioned games and a blackand-white photo booth with vintage props. Entertainers include the Squares Barbershop Quartet, Golden Spike Can Can Dancers, Beauty Shop,Dolls; children’s entertainer The TaDaa Lady as well as students from Port Moody secondary school.

The celebration of the city’s past isn’t confined to the civic centre. A shuttle bus will be available to transport visitors to historic Clarke Street, where hourly walking tours begin at 11:30 a.m. The street is the heart of Moody Centre’s heritage conservation area, which features more than 25 registered properties. Some of those include: • the McLean residence that was built on St. Johns Street in 1908 but was moved to its current location at 2224 Clarke St. in 2001, where it now sits next to the CP Lumber Co. residence that was also built in 1908; • the Joseph Coté residence at 2310 Clarke St. that was built in 1910 to house the city’s early

mill workers; • the BC Telephone Co. Exchange at 2317 Clarke St. that is now a private home but started its life in 1917 as the centre for the city’s growing telephone network to service a population of about 1,500 people; • and Etter’s beauty salon and barber shop at 2335 Clarke St. that was part of Moody’s original commercial and retail centre and features a raised parapet to increase the building’s apparent size and provide more space to accommodate signs; it was built in 1923 as the city’s local economy rebounded from the hardships of the First World War. That war, and the realities of trench warfare, are featured prominently at the Port Moody Station Museum, where the shuttle bus will also make a stop. Visitors can get down and dirty in a section of trench recreated behind the museum, right down to the barbed wire and funk holes, the dirt cubbies cut into the soil where soldiers often had to sleep.

Inside, a display of sketches by renowned German typographer Rudolf Koch provide a rare glimpse into life at the other side of the WWI battlefield. As well, the museum features its regular displays of Port Moody’s history as a mill and railroad town.

PORT COQUITLAM

Trash audit ongoing; new smoke, vape regs Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

If you live in a Port Coquitlam townhouse or apartment with city waste pick-up, you may see a city auditor checking out your communal bins this month and next.

This week, the city ramped up its Sort it Right! campaign at the 125 multi-family complexes it serves with waste collection in a bid to educate residents about what can and can’t be tossed.

The drive is aimed at preventing Recycle BC fines against the municipality and to ready the city to hit the regional target of waste diversion of 80% by 2020.

More than 14,000 tonnes of garbage, recycling and green waste are dumped by PoCo residents each year, according to the city, but audits show more than half of what’s put into the trash could be placed into the recycling or organics container, or taken to a recycling depot or take-back program.

The most common offenders in the recycling and green carts?

Plastic bags, garbage, scrap metal and glass.

“We understand that sorting waste can be confusing,” said Coun. Darrell Penner, chair of the city’s transportation solutions and public works committee, in a news release. “Our hope is that people will take the opportunity to educate themselves so that enforcement isn’t needed.”

This spring, waste cart audits begin for the city’s 13,217 detached homes while businesses with city pick-up will be targeted in the fall.

Meanwhile, the city will also recruit volunteers to coach

neighbours on waste sorting.

For training and resources, call 604-927-5254 or ambassadors@ portcoquitlam.ca.

• Visit portcoquitlam.ca/sortitright to learn about the Sort it Right! program and how to dispose of waste properly.

NO SMOKING, VAPING

PoCo has new rules coming for smokers and vapers.

The proposed bylaw, which unanimously received three readings Tuesday, are in line with those in Coquitlam and Port Moody.

The PoCo regulations, which are expected to go into effect immediately after bylaw adoption, are more stringent than the provincial BC Tobacco and Vapor Products Control Act, which bans smoking and vaping within six metres of a public building and workplace. PoCo’s bylaw calls for a 7.5-m buffer from public structures and transit shelters. It also adds transit stops, parks, playing fields, playgrounds and city trails to its roster of prohibited spaces.

Smoking on city streets during public events is also banned.

The new bylaw updates the city’s smoking rules for the first time since 2002.

NO TO 55+ GAMES

PoCo’s healthy community committee turned down a request to host the 55+ BC Games.

The society running the annual event invited PoCo last month to submit an application for 2020, ’21 or ’22. But city managers say much of their time is now being taken by the redevelopment of the PoCo rec complex, and the extra workload couldn’t be handled.

As well, the games cost about $400,000 to host, with an undetermined amount coming from in-kind municipal support, the report read.

Hosted by Coquitlam in 2016, the 55+ BC Games typically draw up to 4,000 competitors from around the province.

CULTURE GRANTS

A total of $12,000 will be distributed to three groups in PoCo arts and cultural events this year. At Wednesday’s healthy community committee, $4,000 was each awarded to: Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam; Tri-Cities Iranian Mini Soccer Festival; and Polonez Polish Canadian Dance Society.

The funding comes from the 2018 winter intake for the city’s community cultural development investment grant program.

NEW CAO

PoCo’s chief administrative officer is moving on.

Wednesday, John Leeburn announced he would be leaving the top municipal post on July 27 “to pursue new career opportunities,” according to a city news release, which notes, “He does not yet have another position lined up after he leaves Port Coquitlam.”

Leeburn, 55, a longtime PoCo resident, was hired by PoCo six years ago after 17 years in senior management in Maple Ridge.

It’s the second high-profile departure announced for city hall in the last few months. In November, Mayor Greg Moore announced he would not run for re-election in October and plans to quit politics. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

A Coquitlam director and producer scored multiple prizes last month with her first feature documentary.

Nancy J. Lilley, who filmed 4 Dancers’ Dreams over a two-year period in Port Moody and other sites, scooped awards of merit and recognition in the categories of documentary feature, editing (Mauri Bernstein), narration/voice-over talent, direction, ensemble cast and cinematography (Greg Bartels) at the Impact DOCs Awards.

The 70-minute flick follows dance students — including Port Coquitlam’s Hailey Rekunyk, and Tiana Pazdirek and Lauren Phillips of Port Moody — as they train and compete. 4 Dancers’ Dreams will also be shown in Los Angeles in April at the Artemis Women In Action Film Festival.

Douglas College, which has campuses in Coquitlam and New Westminster, named Bard on the Beach founder Christopher Gaze an honorary fellow on Valentine’s Day. Gaze was awarded the 2018 distinction — the highest for a college to bestow — on Wednesday to pay tribute to his contributions in the performing arts, his youth outreach and his arts education advocacy.

Started in 1990, Bard on the Beach is now the largest Shakespeare festival in western Canada, delivering 200 performances a year to some 100,000 guests. Its Young Shakespeareans acting program trains 250 youth each summer and its Bard in the Classroom workshops offer learning experiences in the art of playing Shakespeare. As well, Gaze has helped Douglas College’s theatre program by running workshops. “Christopher has been a vocal advocate of actor and technician training and of the experiential nature of the work we do at Douglas College,” said Allan Lysell, retired college theatre co-ordinator who nominated Gaze.

Place des Arts’ Coquitlam Youth Theatre Company took its show on the road last month, presenting Gale: The Yellow Bricks of Oz and James and the Giant Peach Jr. at eight Tri-City schools.

SPEED SKATING

PoCo skater feeds her need for speed Speed skater inspired when she saw the sport on TV

MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Sherilyn Chung has a need for speed.

Now that the 16-year-old speed skater with the Port Coquitlam Lightning has had a taste of national competition, she hungers for more.

Last December Chung was the only speed skater from British Columbia to compete at the Canadian junior short track championships in Saguenay, Que. She finished 27th out of 32 skaters but seeing the level of dedication and commitment among the sport’s top young athletes from Quebec and other eastern provinces was an eye-opening experience.

“Everyone there was so into speed skating,” Chung said. “It fired me up.”

In March, Chung will be able to put some of the lessons she learned back east to the test when attends a selection camp in Calgary for Canada’s junior development team — essentially the next generation of top skaters being groomed for international competition.

It’s a long stride from when Chung first pulled on the long blades seven years ago because hockey was more about passing the puck and figure skating was too slow to apply her newly learned skating ability.

But watching the short track competition on TV from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver got her attention.

“That’s what I’m looking for,” Chung said. “I wanted a sport that goes really fast. It’s really cool to go so fast.”

So she signed up with the Lightning, a small club that trains out of the Port

TRI-CITY ATHLETES UP FOR AWARDS

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Sherilyn Chung checks her speed skates prior to a training session at Planet Ice in Coquitlam. The 16-year-old skater with the Port Coquitlam Lightning Speed Skating Club will be competing at the BC Winter Games in Kamloops later this month before she heads to Calgary for a selection camp for Canada’s junior development team.

Coquitlam rec centre and Planet Ice in Coquitlam.

Putting on speed skates for the first time, with their blades that stretch from 15 to 18 cm, was enthralling.

“You can’t fall forward or backward,” Chung said.

She threw herself into the sport, learning technique and strategies by watching older, more experience skaters at practice and inter-club meets.

“I found it really interesting,” Chung said. “You have to make

a lot of quick decisions.”

In 2016, Chung won five gold medals at the BC Winter Games in Penticton, an achievement that’s made her one of the “poster competitors” featured on ads and print material promoting this year’s event in Kamloops that runs from Feb. 22 to 25.

Chung will be there, of course, but the Grade 11 student who attends Heritage Woods secondary school admits she’s already looking

ahead to March in Calgary, where she’ll be reunited with some of the skaters she competed against at the junior nationals.

That will force her to elevate her game yet again.

Because on the speed skating map of Canada, British Columbia is pretty much a hinterland compared to Quebec, where speed skating programs are available in some high schools.

Chung said she has much to

learn and she intends to be a sponge.

“The racing experience is so different,” she said. “You gain exposure to racing tactics like waiting in the back to move your way up instead of always skating from the front.”

But the thrill remains universal.

“When you skate so fast it’s like you’re flying on the ice,” Chung said. “I find joy in it.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Some familiar names in the Tri-Cities sports scene are among the finalists in 14 of the 18 catagories being honoured at the Sport BC 52nd annual Athlete of the Year awards that will be held March 28.

The awards recognize the province’s best amateur athletes, coaches and officials for their outstanding efforts in the 2017 season.

Local finalists include: • Jacqueline Lew, a Pinetree secondary school grad and wrestler, as female high school athlete of the year.

Lew, who now attends Simon Fraser University in Burnaby on a wrestling scholarship, won three provincial championships in her 51-kg weight class when she was in high school, along with three Canadian cadet/juvenile championships.

• Tara Self, the head track coach for the Coquitlam Cheetahs, is a finalist for female coach of the year.

Self, who represented Canada at two Summer Olympics, has been with the Cheetahs since 2005. She’s helped guide several local athletes to national and provincial championships.

Port Moody Panthers’ forward Brayden Szabados is stopped by Richmond Sockeyes’ goalie Hardarshan Hoojan in their Pacific Junior Hockey League game last Saturday at Port Moody arena. The Panthers wrapped up their season with a 7-5 win over the visitors. After spotting Richmond a 5-1 lead more than halfway into the game, Port Moody stormed back with five straight goals to earn just their 12th win of the season. Eleven Panthers got in on the scoring and goalie Alexander Kong stopped 42 of the 47 shots he faced. The team failed to make the PJHL playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
