HIGH SCHOOL GRAD 2017

A small grad class with big dreams MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

The Grade 12 students at Port Coquitlam’s Hope Lutheran Christian school are busy preparing for grad.

There are funds to be raised through operating the school’s concession stand, selling pizza coupons, collecting recyclable bottles and doing odd jobs like gardening and fence painting for paying customers.

There’s a menu to be planned for the blowout banquet to be held June 28 at Meadow Gardens golf club in Pitt Meadows.

And there’s the matter of choosing a valedictorian.

It won’t be easy — half the class has applied for the honour.

Mind you, the grad class is comprised of only four students. see ‘WE’RE MOSTLY’, page 9

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Cut to salmon ed. in schools reversed Environmentalist credits outrage and letters from public for the program’s restoration

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Teachers and environmental advocates are crediting a public outcry for saving educational and technical supports for salmon programs in

Coquitlam MP Ron McKinnon revealed they have been reversed. The Liberal MP told The Tri-City News Thursday that there will be no changes or reductions to the program, which provides salmon education to classrooms and techni-

local schools and hatcheries that were nearly scuttled in a revamp of federal fisheries and coast guard services.

Less than two weeks after cuts to the Salmonid Enhancement Program were announced, Coquitlam-Port

cal supports to hatcheries.

The programs will continue as the government continues with a $3-billion investment into Fisheries and Oceans Canada operations across the country, including a $75-million, fiveyear Coastal Restoration Fund

to identify and prioritize threats to marine species.

“We want to see our salmon survive and thrive, and it’s really important these programs continue,” McKinnon said. see OUTRAGE, LETTERS, page 21

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kendal-Leah Skelton, 10, says she likes to pretend she’s flying when she’s on the swings. Saturday she’ll swing for eight hours at Moody middle school to raise money for breast cancer research.

FUNDRAISERS

PoMo girl gets into the swing for cancer research MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

Kendal-Leah Skelton loves to swing.

She loves it so much, she’s going to swing on the swings at Moody middle school for eight hours tomorrow (Saturday), 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

And the 10-year-old said she won’t even get dizzy. But she will raise money for breast cancer research.

This is Kendal-Leah’s second “Push for a Cure” — That’s what she calls her marathon swing session. She said the idea for the fundraiser popped into her head one day when

she was talking to her grandfather but she decided to swing it into action after her aunt, Arielle Patterson, was diagnosed with the disease last year.

Patterson recovered and her niece raised $2,100.

This year, she has launched a fundraising website (push-

foracure.ca), and she’s handed pledge sheets to all her friends.

As well, nearby liquor store, Port Moody Liquor, will donate 4% of a sale if the customer mentions Push for a Cure.

That has Kendal-Leah aiming high for this year’s swingathon. Literally.

She said she likes to vary

her swinging routine to keep it interesting; sometimes she swings sideways, sometimes on her belly, sometimes upside-down, sometimes she straddles two swings. Always, she swings as high as she can.

“I like closing my eyes and pretending I’m flying,” said Kendal-Leah, who plans to

fuel her swingfest with Subway sandwiches, donuts from Tim Horton’s and snacks from Dairy Queen.

And when the eight hours are over, Kendal-Leah really will fly, leaping off her swing to fall back to Earth again.

Study of alternate routes to Ioco lands MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

A group opposed to the extension of David Avenue through Bert Flinn Park is feeling a little more optimistic the roadway won’t be built after Port Moody council on Tuesday approved a study to find an alternative route that will connect with the Ioco lands.

Hunter Madsen of the Friends of Bert Flinn Park said the scope of the assessment of five possible routes for a new thoroughfare increases the odds the David Avenue extension won’t survive the process, although he concedes some of the routes may still have some

impact on the park.

“I do have some cause here for hope,” said Madsen. “I don’t think saving Bert Flinn Park is unreasonable. Let’s try to preserve the essence of what makes the park special, minimizing the impact of a road to as great an extent as possible.”

A staff report considered by Port Moody council Tuesday recommended the hiring of a consultant to assess four possible routes for the new connector route, including the extension of David Avenue through the park to April Road.

That route has been part of the area’s official community plan (OCP) for decades, and a rudimentary gravel roadway was once partially constructed.

But in 1999, the 311-acre parcel of forested land was turned into Bert Flinn Park by referendum.

Since then, the park’s network of walking, hiking and biking

James Chandler, the city’s manager of engineering, said the possible alternate routes the study will assess include an expansion of Ioco and East roads, a new road along the northern edge of the park to link David Avenue to Sunnyside Road, and a shorter extension of David

Avenue through a corner of the park to connect to Strong Road at East Road. Council added a fifth option that links Strong and Sunnyside roads.

But Chandler said any plan for an alternate route is complicated by the lack of information from the owner of the Ioco lands about the scope of its development plans for the 250-

pay for the assessment. Instead, the $77,500 cost of a consultant and staff time will be referred to the city’s finance committee.

“There’s a lot more here than simply one developer looking for one plan,” said Clay, adding the cost could eventually recouped when development goes ahead.

That’s also encouraging to Madsen, who feared making the developer pay for the study might colour the result. He said the parameters approved by council for the assessment — to find a way that won’t affect the park while minimizing traffic impacts on Ioco Road — make it increasingly unlikely it would look favourably at building a road right through the park.

“I think the study’s framework is in better shape,” Madsen said. “All options seek to avoid impact on Bert Flinn Park.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

acre property. Brilliant Circle Group is in the midst of a third round of public consultations to determine what a new community around the historic Ioco townsite area might look like.

“Anything we do is presumptive,” Chandler said.

Coun. Barbara Junker said that’s all the more reason to look at all possible routes with an open mind. She suggested if the developer proposes to build low-density single-family homes, there may not even be a need to create extra road capacity. “We’re all guessing what they may want to put out there,” said Junker. “We don’t know what the traffic is going to look like.”

Even without new development, traffic along Ioco Road remains an issue that needs to be resolved, said Mayor Mike Clay. That’s why he urged council to reject a staff recommendation that Brilliant Circle Group

Glumac to leave his council job, forcing a PoMo byelection MARIO BARTEL The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody voters will be heading back to the polls as early as later this summer to choose a replacement on city council for new MLA Rick Glumac.

Glumac, who was sworn in last week as MLA for the riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam, announced his intention to resign his councillor’s position at the end of Tuesday’s regular council meeting.

“It’s in the best interests of this community to have somebody in this seat,” said Glumac, who will formally vacate his seat before the next council meeting, June 27.

Glumac was in the midst of his second term on council but took a leave when he ran for the BC NDP in the May 9 provincial election. He upset the riding’s BC Liberal incumbent Linda Reimer by handily winning 47% of the votes to Reimer’s 41%. Green candidate Don Barthel was a distant third with only 12 per cent of the votes.

Glumac told his council colleagues Tuesday that he recognizes his departure comes at a critical time as the city copes with new growth brought by development while still trying to maintain the qualities that attract new residents.

“There are so many incredibly important decisions to be made in the coming years,” he said. “When such important decisions are being made,

SPEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. seven voices are better than six. More opinions will be represented.”

Glumac said his time on council will serve him well in Victoria, where he hopes to be part of a Green-supported NDP government in a few weeks.

“It’s invaluable, having that understanding of what municipal governments can do,” said Glumac. “I’ve seen the advocacy that happens at the municipal level but I haven’t necessarily seen it translated to the provincial level.”

Glumac said he reached his decision after “a lot of conversations with residents and feedback from people. It was important for me to get that feedback.”

According to the Local Government Act, the city must appoint a chief election officer “as soon as practicable” if a council vacancy occurs before Jan. 1 of an election year. That officer then sets a general voting day for a Saturday no later than 80 days after their appointment.

(The next general elections in all B.C. municipalities will be held in October 2018.)

PoCo workers get 9% over five years Deal matches one signed by union staff in Coquitlam

Neither the city of Port Moody nor CUPE Local 825, which represents its civic workers, were available for comment about their proposed deal; a tentative agreement was reached last month.

JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam’s unionized city staff voted 100% in favour of a new collective agreement this week.

The five-year deal, which includes the same wage hikes as those in the Coquitlam civic workers’ contract that was ratified last month with a 88% vote, applies to about 350 members of CUPE Local 498, who will receive: • 1.5% in 2016; • 1.5% in 2017; • 2% in 2018; • 2% in 2019; • and 2% in 2020.

Local president Gary Goff told The Tri-City News Thursday the salary increases follow the regional trend.

As well, PoCo union staff will get extended health benefits more in line with Metro Vancouver municipal norms; for example, they’ll receive combined physiotherapy and massage therapy coverage, vision care, hearing aids and

Don’t ‘gift’ $5,000 in latest version of a pyramid scheme Mounties believe more victims are in the Tri-Cities

SPEAK Have you been a victim of such a scheme? Leave a comment on our Facebook page.

GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Mounties are trying to clamp down on a new pyramid scheme that has cropped up in the area.

Investigators said the fraud targets law-abiding citizens who are convinced to recruit their friends, who each pay $5,000 to join. The new members are then expected to go out and recruit eight more people, raising a total of $40,000 each.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said many participants may not be aware the scheme is illegal.

“We believe many of those people don’t realize they are doing anything wrong and don’t realize the risk they and their friends are getting into,” he said. “We suspect there are people at the very top who

• 24 hr Drop off at City Hall CPL. MICHAEL MCLAUGHLIN know very well it is illegal and they are making the money.”

Recruiters tell prospective members that the buy-in is legitimate and not taxable, often calling it a birthday gift, a transaction or a gifting circle, McLaughlin said.

So far, only a couple of formal complaints have been made with the RCMP but investigators have been hearing anecdotally that there are more victims.

McLaughlin said many people may be reluctant to come forward to police because the

people involved in the scheme are often friends and family.

But he added that investigators need to be aware of the situation to help prevent more people from becoming involved.

“One of the biggest problems with fraud is the sense of shame and embarrassment people go through when they are victimized,” he said. “We think that is at play.”

Anyone who has been victimized by the “gifting” pyramid scheme are asked to call the police. The Coquitlam RCMP can be reached at its non-emergency number at 604-945-1550.

HIGH SCHOOL GRAD 2017

‘We’re mostly together,’ says one student continued from front page

Taylor Audette, Daniel Bradley, Gary Huang and Dana Yang are the first class to graduate from the longtime PoCo private school’s new middle and high school campus in Pitt Meadows. They’re also the school’s smallest graduating class.

Jessica Gabeli, a French teacher at Hope Lutheran and the staff sponsor for grad, says it’s special to work with such a small group of senior students.

“You get to build something right from the start,” she said.

“It’s awesome to see how much they’ve grown.”

The students, who call themselves the Wolfpack, say being part of such a small cohort doesn’t come without challenges.

“We’re mostly together,” says Bradley, who will be attending BCIT in the fall to study fixedwing aviation.

“There’s nowhere to hide because you know each other too well,” says Huang, who’s going into kinesiology at Simon Fraser University.

“It’s like a second family,” says Yang, who’s headed to UBC. “And like any family, we have our ups and downs,” adds Bradley.

So far, Bradley and Yang have put their names forward for valedictorian to craft the words that will define and conclude their high school lives and send them into the world.

“I love talking, if anybody will listen,” says Bradley.

Audette, who’s planning to take a year off to explore the world, says he’s thinking about throwing his name into the ring as well.

Regardless of who gives the grad speech, each will have to assemble a portfolio of their resume, plans for the future, a budget to show they can be responsible with money and an account of volunteer hours they’ve worked. Their submissions will be reviewed by Gabeli and the school’s principal, Dan Matthew.

But all of the students have given some thought to the kind of advice to offer grads.

“Just be who you are,” says Huang.

“Try your best at everything,” says Audette.

“Don’t try to be the best, just be better,” says Yang, “because that’s something that you can only determine by yourself.”

“Put in the work because it’s going to matter later,” says Bradley.

The grads have decided they won’t throw a lavish after-party.

And they’ll carpool to the banquet rather than rent a limo.

“We just need to get there,” says Audette.

“At that point, you’re just throwing your money away,” Bradley adds. “We need to show we can be fiscally responsible.”

Instead, the money the students have raised will help pay for each of them to invite up to 10 family members and friends to their celebratory banquet, with enough left over as a bit of a seed fund for next year’s graduating class.

Still, without any girls in their graduating class, what about dates?

“Uh, we do know people outside of school,” Bradley says.

PHOTOS BY MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Clockwise from top left: Hope Lutheran Christian School is used to graduating small classes. But this year’s grad class of four students is its smallest. It’s also the first group to graduate from the PoCo private school’s new Pitt Meadows campus. Graduating student Taylor Audette works on a business pitch with teacher Maria Klassen. Student Dana Yang slips a note into his locker. And during breaks from classes, Yang and Daniel Bradley can often be found catching some sun on the playground equipment behind the school.

The seal pup was picked up off the shore of Belcarra Wednesday by members of the Coquitlam RCMP’s rural section and taken by boat to the rescue centre, according to RCMP Cpl. Mike McLaughlin.

“We were called by a citizen who had already touched it, we pretty much had to step in,� said McLaughlin. “You’ve got to be really careful of seal pups. Once you touch them, the mothers will abandon them,� he explained, noting that the smell of humans is enough to keep the female away. “If you see a seal pup, don’t assume it’s been abandoned,� he said.

Instead, stay away from the animal and ensure others do so too; it’s likely the mother will return after foraging for food.

The seal pup was named Fort St. James, after a town in B.C., and is reportedly recovering from head trauma.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Impasse-ible

What was the message voters sent to Victoria when they elected a government so close in seats and popular vote?

Were voters trying to give Premier Christy Clark her comeuppance or simply to put her on a short leash?

Now we have a problem with the election of a speaker — a job no one wants to do because it will hamper their party’s aspirations.

It seems for now, Clark plans to brazen it out with a large cabinet at the ready even though she has an understudy waiting in the wings and, with tradition on her side, she may win this one.

Even if the BC Liberals lose a confidence vote and the NDP is asked to form a government, it will have to name a speaker from one of its ranks, reducing its numbers and politicizing the job, which will have to break all tie votes.

Facing the prospect of another costly election, the Greens could abandon their agreement with the NDP and support the BC Liberals instead for the sake of continuity.

Who knew politics could be so interesting? Stay tuned.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

City leadership needed on green spaces, biodiversity

R

esidents appreciate Coquitlam’s greenery, considered by many as one of the city’s defining characteristics. Whether it’s a park or a wilder environment, residents admire our green spaces. Unfortunately, admiration does not always equate to knowledge about and advocacy for healthy, biodiverse environments.

What appears to the average resident as a green bush producing tasty berries may on closer inspection be an invasive IOANA BISCA Himalayan blackberry that suppresses local biodiversity. Invasive species threaten our ecosystems, dominating native plants and making it difficult for them to thrive, or even survive. Certain species can monopolize green spaces.

Engagement and education are paramount to preserve biodiversity in our outdoor spaces and to preserve these spaces themselves. Explicit policies and action plans that engage and educate the community regarding outdoor issues can turn more admirers of nature into advocates of these spaces.

I’m taking part in a hands-on outdoor course at Simon Fraser University in which I’m learning about issues such as invasive and NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n

native species. Now that I know more about the consequences of different plants, like the Himalayan blackberry, I walk through Coquitlam’s forests noticing different species and questioning whether they contribute to a diverse, sustainable ecosystem.

Coquitlam put forth its Invasive Plant Management Strategy 10 years ago, pointing to plant species that are a threat in the area and outlining control activities. The report includes mention of community education and outreach but lists that as a role of stewardship groups, not the city.

In contrast to Coquitlam’s decade-old strategy, Vancouver’s 2016 Biodiversity Strategy outlines not only ecological goals to be achieved but, also, human-centred strategies such as connecting individuals to natural spaces. It specifies actions such as creating collaborations between community groups at biodiverse spots to increase education and stewardship opportunities. By pointing to particular actions, the city can be better held accountable for its follow-through.

Fortunately, Coquitlam is beginning to step up. In recent years, the city conducted a wide-ranging assessment of parks, recreation, and culture. It put forth a master plan examining a variety of aspects, including natural green spaces and parks, and created an implementation strategy for the various components.

The strategy briefly mentions fostering community connection to parks and access to nature education. But the master plan iden-

tified a gap in natural green spaces in that there is no dedicated centre to support public education. Biodiversity itself was not central to the assessment and recommendations put forth.

Co-ordinating a central hub to enable community education would allow for better engagement, and it’s an idea the plan recommends considering. Another recommendation: “Build community support for the preservation and conservation of natural areas through education and volunteer engagement initiatives.”

These suggestions have the right idea but seem to end at the recommendation level. It remains to be seen how Coquitlam will move forward to implement them through specific actions.

We need to make greater efforts to capture the interest of those who make use of and enjoy our outdoor spaces but are not yet passionate about maintaining them. Whether it is about biodiversity or park space, community members will be the ones having to advocate for and apply pressure regarding these issues. In doing so, delicate relationships in ecosystems can be supported and residents can continue to make use of these spaces.

By further engaging the community with green spaces and biodiversity issues, Coquitlam can ensure the city will be sustainable in the future.

ON THE ROAD

The Editor, Re. “Dumping expensive, city cracks down” (The Tri-City News, June 2).

I read The Tri-City News article regarding the pile of garbage at the entrance to the Town Centre Park recycling depot and I have the same thoughts regarding the proper way to dump garbage.

On the most recent long weekend, I spent almost two hours dumping various objects at United Boulevard depot.

We all pay high taxes for housing and garbage collection, and I’m sure not many people are willing to spend two hours to take a drive and pay an extra fee at the depot or other private facilities to dump.

Cleaning chores usually are done during the weekend because most people work during the week. The city recycling depot can no longer close on any days on long weekends;

The Editor, Re. “Mountie misinformed about cyclists’ road rights” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, June 9).

I’m taken aback by Mario Bartel’s column. When asked by an RCMP officer why he wasn’t riding in the bike lane, his reply was “I don’t have to.”

Although Mr. Bartel didn’t point out there are no bike lanes on Gaglardi Way, two issues arise from his piece: • Why then are we spending untold hundreds of thousands of dollars building bike lanes to accommodate cyclists when they “don’t have to” use them?

• If bicycles are considered vehicles and, therefore, cyclists feel they can use the roads when there are perfectly good, expensive bike lanes available for them to travel in, then perhaps they should be subjected to licensing and insurance the same as motor vehicles. Also, if cyclists want bikes to be consid-

Recycling depots should be open 365 days a year

CITY OF COQUITLAM PHOTO

Several loads of trash and recyclables were dumped outside the gate at the Town Centre recycling depot in Coquitlam on May 22 and the city is reviewing security footage to identify the dumpers. that is too much time to wait until the next weekend to dump some items.

Coquitlam has more highrises and more people than ever, so a critical service such

as the recycling depot needs to be open 365 days a year.

It was no surprise to see the photo of recycling dumped outside the depot; it resembles the same situation of

previous long weekends when the weather is warmer.

The depot needs to be available when the citizens need it.

Aida Guerrero, Coquitlam

Why is tax money being spent on bike lanes, then?

ered vehicles, it would be wonderful if they’d act like they were driving vehicles — i.e., stopping at signs and signals, using hand signals to indicate when they’re making a turn, etc. — instead of acting as whatever they feel is more convenient, vehicle or pedestrian. Oh, and don’t forget riding two, three and four abreast instead of single-file.

The Lower Mainland has bent over backwards to accommodate cyclists. I wonder when and if they’ll start appreciating that fact.

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 bylaws. This meeting will be held on:

Date: Time: Location:

Monday, June 26, 2017 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 items on the Public Hearing agenda.

Item 1 Text Amendment to Revise the Parking Requirements for Ground-Oriented Multi-Family Housing and Secondary Suites in Single Family Housing *Note – While this item was originally considered at the Public Hearing held on May 15, 2017, the opportunity for public input on this item will continue at the Public Hearing scheduled for June 26, 2017.

The intent of Bylaw 4764, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to revise the parking requirements for Ground-Oriented Multi-Family Housing and Secondary Suites in Single Family Housing.

If approved, the text amendment would facilitate the following revisions: • Require two resident parking spaces per unit in all ground-oriented multi-family housing developments, with the exception of those in Transit-Oriented Development areas; • Allow a maximum of 33% of the parking spaces in ground-oriented multi-family housing developments to be in tandem; • Require that a parking space for a secondary suite in a single-family house not obstruct a parking space for the principal dwelling (i.e. not be provided in tandem); and • Increase the minimum lot width of a front-loaded RS-7 and RS-8 lot from 12 metres (40 feet) to 12.8 metres (42 feet). The minimum lot width of a rear-loaded RS-8 lot would remain at 12 metres (40 feet).

Item 2 Addresses: 1311 Hachey Avenue and 325 Millview Street The intent of Bylaw 4772, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject properties outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4772, 2017 from RS-1 One-Family Residential and RM-2 Three Storey Medium Density Apartment Residential to RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex Residential.

The intent of Bylaw 4771, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to facilitate two site-specific amendments to the RT-3 zone for the subject property. The first proposed text amendment will amend the Permitted Uses in the RT-3 zone in order to increase the number of permitted units on one lot from 4 dwelling units to a maximum of 8 dwelling units. The second proposed text amendment would amend the Density Provisions of the RT-3 zone in order to increase the floor area from 0.75 times the lot area to 0.8 times the lot area.

If approved, the RT-3 zone and proposed text amendments would facilitate the construction of two quadruplex developments, containing a maximum of 8 dwelling units, in the form of four detached units and four units within two duplex buildings on one lot.

Item 3 Address: 912 Stewart Avenue The intent of Bylaw 4765, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject property outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4765, 2017 from RS-1 One-Family Residential to RT-1 TwoFamily Residential.

If approved, the RT-1 zone would facilitate a two lot subdivision of the existing lot and the construction of a single-family dwelling, with the potential for a carriage house, on each of the resulting lots.

Item 4

Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan (BLNP)

The intent of Bylaw 4754, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Citywide Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3479, 2001 by replacing the existing Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan and Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan with the proposed Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan, as well as make related amendments to the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan and Development Permit Area Guidelines.

The intent of Bylaw 4753, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to help implement the vision of the BLNP through housekeeping text amendments which will improve the overall clarity and administration of the BLNP. If approved, the text amendment would facilitate the following revisions: • Update the C-5 zone to provide appropriate height and density for the Lougheed Boulevard area between Alderson and Guilby; • Increase the height limit in the RT-2 Townhouse zone to 3-storeys in Transitoriented areas; and • Amend Schedule ‘0’ to revise the ‘Core’ and ‘Shoulder’ boundary to include all the areas of higher-density in the BLNP. If approved, the proposed Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan will guide the potential growth of 9,000 – 10,000 additional new dwelling units within the Burquitlam and Lougheed neighbourhoods over the next 20-25 years. The proposed BLNP envisions that the Burquitlam and Lougheed areas will become complete transit-oriented neighbourhoods that offer a range of housing types in close proximity to shopping, employment and amenities.

COQUITLAM SEARCH & RESCUE

SAR’s Cunnings gets provincial honour Cunnings’ father helped start local search group GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

There was a time not too long ago when a search and rescue operation in Coquitlam consisted of the city’s parks and recreation director and a couple of RCMP officers scouring the woods for missing hikers.

Ian Cunnings had a frontrow seat to many of those early searches.

His father, Don Cunnings, was the Coquitlam parks manager when the city decided it needed its own specialized local team following the death in 1972 of a missing person on Burke Mountain.

“They had to do a body

recovery using North Shore Rescue because there wasn’t anybody in Coquitlam,” Ian Cunnings said. “After that, it was decided to form a ground search and rescue group.”

Cunnings remembers attending weekend training sessions as a child with his father, who was one of the first members of the Coquitlam Search and Rescue team.

Slowly, the younger Cunnings got involved as well, and was recently awarded the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers after 35 years of service. The 53-year-old was joined by his wife, father, mother and Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon last week at Government House in Victoria, where he formally received the recognition.

“It was a very humbling experience,” he said. “There are 80 ground search and rescue programs in the province and

anyone at any of those groups would be well deserving.”

For Cunnings, the award marks a long history with search and rescue dating back to when he was still a high school student at Centennial secondary. He said he was drawn to the sense of camaraderie and an interest in the outdoors that is shared by many on the team.

“It is an extension of my recreation,” he said. “The folks on the team are hikers, skiers, mountain bikers, mountaineers. You pick an activity and there is someone involved in it. We are always organizing social activities.”

He added that the level of experience and preparation among members of Coquitlam Search and Rescue makes the team and the public safer.

“We are there to help.”

Boies said CIS’ first board meeting was in mid-April; it next plans to meet in October

in Phoenix during a cannabis business expo.

While Boies said he has put up most of the capital to date, the company plans to take the business public this fall and list it on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

But while investment is its main thrust, CIS also plans to have a chain of franchised dispensaries — called Confederation Kush — with partners in California, Arizona and Texas, he said.

The retail stores should be open in the next few months, he said, and sell locally sourced product, complete with a red maple leaf logo.

“That Canadian brand is very important,” Boies told The TriCity News. “It’s embraced and doors are open when they know we’re a Canadian company.”

Boies, who has invested in

the legal cannabis sector for years, said now is the time to strike: The Canadian government is expected to make weed legal by July 1, 2018 and the “green future” needs to be managed and marketed properly for adult and medicinal use. (In the U.S., there are 28 states that allow medicinal and/ or recreational use).

“I saw an opportunity to pool some finances and get involved in both Canada and the U.S.,” he said, adding, “It’s a billiondollar industry that’s been underground and adding to the economy across Canada and the U.S. for decades that will now be legal.”

Recently, CIS joined forces with the True North Law Enforcement Training Group to form a new venture company that would provide security consultation to cannabis business operators.

“Right from general physical security, security around processes, transportation, storage, people, the potential influence of organized crime or prolific offenders who have targeted the cannabis industry over the last 20 years,” said owner Andy Richards, a Port Moody resident and former PoMo Police Department deputy chief constable.

And as of last Thursday, CIS signed a letter of intent to acquire 50% of a cannabis business

park in Cathedral City, Calif.

“We are not passive investors,” Boies said, noting one of the companies it has partnered with is Segra Biogenesis Corp., a medicinal cannabis research and development firm based in Richmond. “We are primarily supplying capital to the business operations… and consultants in branding and policy.

Cannabis is not, per se, our expertise.”

Boies added of CIS: “We’re very proud of what we’re doing here. Canada is recognized globally for its cannabis policies and research.”

In terms of competition, Boies said CIS is up against CannaRoyalty Corp., an Ottawa-based group that provides funds to licensed cannabis businesses in exchange for a royalty on their revenues; Chuck Rifici of Tweed Marijuana Inc.; and the American rapper Snoop Dogg.

Boies said CIS is also in negotiation with an Arizona firm to have the exclusive rights to market and distribute a microvaporizer for pain relief.

“We believe in the medicinal benefits of cannabis and the legalization for adult use so that we can get it out of the hands of the youth and ensure that it’s consistent and be tested. And, of course, we plan on profiting from our investment.” jcleugh@tricitynews.com

FUNDRAISERS

Gogos and jazz JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

A lush and historic property close to the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam will be the setting for a fundraiser next week to support African grandmothers.

The Coquitlam Gogos — meaning “grandparent� in Africa — will host a Jazz in the Garden benefit at the house of member Denise Townsend.

Townsend and her husband are opening their home, on the site of a former apple orchard, for the June 24 mingle that will include a performance by the Gabriole Sinclaire Trio.

The Gogos hope to raise about $2,500 from the event, with proceeds in aid of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Lewis’ grandmothers-tograndmothers campaign has brought in more than $24 million over the past decade to help grannies in 15 sub-Saharan African countries caring for their grandchildren now orphaned after their parents died of HIV/AIDS. Last year, the Coquitlam Gogos raised $22,000 for the cause through two fashion shows — including one hosted

by Vancouver clothing historian Ivan Sayers — a Downton Abbey-style tea and a cooking class. Its 25 members meet monthly at Parkwood Manor in Coquitlam. • For tickets ($35) to Jazz in the Garden or to join the Coquitlam Gogos, call 604-4754180 or 604-464-3298.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Outrage, letters and, Property taxes due July 4 finally, a result for salmon supporters • The City of Port Moody has mailed out tax notices for the current year. If you did not receive a tax notice for the property you own, please contact the Tax Department at 604.469.4503 or tax@portmoody.ca

• All owners are responsible for payment by the due date whether or not they have received a property tax notice.

He said he and other Pacific Liberal caucus members expressed concerns to federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc and received a positive response to their pleas.

“The minister was very receptive and he was able to restore it back to where it was,” McKinnon said.

But local salmon advocates say it was the public response — including an outpouring of anger in letters and petitions — that got the minister to do an about-face.

Ruth Foster, co-founder of the Mossom Creek Hatchery and a retired teacher, said much of the credit should go to Kerry Lockwood, a Pinetree secondary school teacher who is a volunteer coordinator with the Salmonid Enhancement Program. She worked tirelessly so it wouldn’t end up on the chopping block, Foster said.

“Outrage led to immediate letter-writing action by teachers and others all over the province,” Foster added.

Lockwood told The Tri-City

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Pinetree secondary teacher Kerry Lockwood talks to children about salmon as part of the Salmonids in the Classroom program that will now not be cut after the federal fisheries minister reversed an earlier decision. As well, technical supports to local salmon hatcheries program will continue.

News that she almost cried after learning the program — where teachers are encouraged to raise salmon from eggs to fry in their classroom — would be saved.

“I have just a huge relief,” she said, “The teachers were

so upset, the teachers and kids wrote letters… It matters so much.

“If you had cut that out, if you can’t teach kids about it [the salmon life cycle] and kids can’t live and learn about it, it will affect generations. There won’t be the same passions about it,” Lockwood said.

Meanwhile, Port MoodyCoquitlam NDP MP Fin Donnelly said in a press release he, too, is relieved the cuts won’t be made, arguing they were shortsighted and ending the program would have stopped kids’ hands-on learning about salmon.

“I’m grateful to those British Columbians who raised their voices against these shortsighted cuts,” said Donnelly, the NDP critic for Fisheries and Oceans. “With this tremendous outpouring of support, we were able to get the government to back down.”

Also saved by the reversal is a dive team at the Sea Island base and there will be no changes to the coast guard presence in inland waterways. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

TC SPOTLIGHT POCO FOUNDATION CASH

The first annual ceremonial review of the 808 Coquitlam RCACS — a branch of 754 Phoenix squadron in Port Moody — drew a number of VIPs to its June 3 event at Maillard middle.

Bob Sutherland, first vice president of the Coquitlam Legion, served as the reviewing officer while NDP MP Fin Donnelly (Port Moody-Coquitlam) and Coquitlam RCMP Insp. Bryon Massie were also on hand. Recently, the squadron scored second place in the Fraser Valley drill team competition in Abbotsford; it also clinched the same position in the Fraser Valley band contest at Minoru Arena in Richmond. Meanwhile, registration for next year’s training session is Sept. 5 and is open to teens aged 12 to 19.

Visit 808cadets.com for details.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore (left) took in $25,000 from BMO for the Hawthorne Seniors Care Community’s Growing Our Care capital campaign, of which he chairs. It has brought in more than 60% of its $1-million goal.

CORRECTION: In the June 2 Spotlight column, it was reported Place Maillardville in Coquitlam is run by the city. In fact, it’s partially funded by the municipality and operated by a board of directors and an executive director.

dealing with chafer beetle?

we’re here to help!

beetle mania

Pick up your Nematodes from a garden centre now!

Tri-City residents can start to reclaim their lawns from the European Chafer beetle by picking up nematodes now from garden stores and landscaping professionals. Nematodes are tiny worms that live in the soil. When applied correctly, these worms kill Chafer beetles without harming plants, people or pets. You’ll want to get them now, and plan to apply them in late July.

A healthy lawn is your best defence. If you have Chafer beetle damage, focus on these three lawn care tips right now: The European Chafer beetle is an invasive insect pest. Its larvae feed on the roots of grasses, causing serious damage to lawns.

NEXT MONTH: It’s time to use those nematodes! Apply these microscopic worms that feed on Chafer grubs during the third week of July, and make sure to follow directions.

ome things are predictable for a reason. Back-toschool advertising in July.

Rush hour traffic. And strawberries in June. That’s why this column is all about strawberries — B.C. strawberries.

The markets are bursting with deep red globes of goodness. For the next couple of weeks, get your fill as the abundance is always short-lived.

They will be back later in the season, but for now, get as many as you can.

According to Wikipedia, the

FATHER’S DAY MARKET MEAL SUNDAY

The Coquitlam market (Sundays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the parking lot at Dogwood Pavilion) is offering free plants to the first 100 dads at market this Sunday as well as a great workshop. Join chef Christina Sepidoza-Walter for a unique dining experience; shop the market with her to choose fresh seasonal veggies, then help her prepare a Mediterranean steak salad and herbed flatbread. Once lunch is prepared, sit down with chef and other participants to enjoy the lunch you’ve created — a truly special dining experience. Lunch will take place in an outdoor tented area, so dress for the weather. Cost: $25.

French began growing wild strawberries in gardens as early as the 14th century but it wasn’t until the late 18th century that the strawberries we grow today became common.

Botanically, strawberries are neither a berry nor a fruit; they are the enlarged receptacle of a flower, related to the rose family.

I chatted with Mandair Farms to find out what it takes to grow those luscious berries

we love. Jasbir told me that traditionally, strawberries are planted in a flat field. However, Mandair Farms cover the rows with black plastic prior to planting as this ensures a cleaner, higher quality berry.

Planting can start as early as April with all the new varieties of strawberries that are coming out but Albion is the most popular because of its shelf life, sweetness and produc-

tion: twice a year. Mandair has Rainier strawberries as well, a June-bearing strawb and the sweetest, but with a short shelf life — just a couple of days.

An interesting experiment at market involves visiting all the strawberry vendors. Try a berry from each farm and you will see how the different soils and weather conditions affect the taste.

Regardless of which vendor you choose, rest assured that the berries are amazing. Stock up and put them in the freezer for a taste of summer all year long. You can even try your hand at growing them yourself.

The Port Coquitlam Farmers’ Market (held Thursday afternoons at Leigh Square) is featuring a container gardening workshop on June 22.

Most and Least Affordable Local Real Estate Markets Revealed

f you’re looking to buy a home on a budget in the Lower Mainland area, chances are you’re scratching your head about where to look for an affordable purchase. “Go live in Langley” seems to be the default suggestion – but what are the other options?

Vancity has published a new report that examines the median home prices in neighbourhoods across Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, and compares them against the median household income for that area (currently $79,495 in Metro Vancouver).

The credit union used this to create a gross debt service (GDS) ratio, which is the monthly mortgage payment on that home (assuming a 20% down payment, 25-year amortization, at posted interest rates – currently 4.64%) as a percentage of median monthly income. A mortgage payment is

considered “affordable” when it is 32% of monthly income or lower.

Vancity found that, in terms of all home types combined, Langley City was indeed the most affordable, followed by Sooke and Victoria. West Vancouver, Lions Bay and North Vancouver were the three least affordable.

When broken down by property type, detached homes unsurprisingly offered the least affordability, rising to a whopping 220.3% of median local monthly income for those buying a West Vancouver medianpriced house at $3,240,000.

Affordable Options Remain In terms of the 10 most affordable regions for single-family homes, only detached houses in Sooke were defined as “affordable” on the median local income at 25.8% GDS, with the nine other most affordable regions

allowance for the purchasing power of repeat buyers who have built up equity in previous homes. The GDS calculations assume that even those who are buying multimilliondollar houses are putting down only 20%, rather than trading homes at the high end of the market, which is more often the case.

The report also assumes that all mortgages are paid back at the Bank of Canada posted interest rate, currently 4.64%, rather than the discounted rate consumers typically pay, which is currently well under 3%.

Vancity’s report made a number of recommendations, including suggesting employers offer more remote-working flexibility, as it predicted that people will increasingly live far from their workplaces.

for detached houses all coming in above 32% GDS. However, the region’s 10 most affordable areas for attached properties such as townhouses, and condo-apartment units, were all within easy reach of those on a median income.

The 10 most affordable places to buy a townhouse ranged from 19.2% of monthly income for a Sooke median townhouse ($321,500) to 29.9% GDS for a townhome in Langley Township at $439,900.

The report also found a number of very affordable places to buy a condo – if you’re prepared to leave Vancouver. The 10 most affordable places to buy a condo ranged from 12.6% of median income for a Chilliwack condo (median price $174,500) to 17.7% GDS for a Surrey condo costing $259,900.

AROUND THE HOUSE

Making his basket case IN THE GARDEN

BRIAN MINTER

I

’ll stick my neck out and say that a good percentage of all the hanging baskets that look good when first put up will be somewhat less than gorgeous by early summer.

The problem is that many folks aren’t really sure how to care for their baskets. They don’t realize that a little bit of soil in a small basket swinging in the wind needs a lot of help to support all kinds of wonderful plants.

It’s important to water your baskets properly. The secret is simple: water thoroughly every time you water but don’t water again until the soil is dry. How do you tell? Feel the weight of the basket by putting your hand underneath and pushing it upward.

If it weighs a ton, hold off on the water.

If you use a hose for watering, try a good watering wand with a soft-rain nozzle. Most soft-rain nozzles have 400 water holes but if you can get hold of a 1000 hole nozzle, it will be even better. Not

only is it easier to reach those difficult areas but you’ll also do a much better job, as this special nozzle prevents soil compaction.

Another key to a spectacular basket is feeding. Like watering, feeding is an art. In such little soil, hanging basket plants need copious amounts of food and lots of organic matter. When you first start out, it’s important to get some strong vegetative growth.

Fast-acting soluble liquid fertilizers, like 20-20-20 or 15-30-15 ‘Miracle Gro’, are ideal. They’ve got lots of the three primary nutrients and a good dose of micro-nutrients as well. The best time to feed is immediately after watering. Get into the habit of watering first, then feeding right after. During periods of wet, cool weather avoid both watering and feeding for fear of drowning the plants’ roots. As the weather becomes warmer and the soil dries out more quickly, you can increase the frequency of feeding.

In spite of your best intentions, I would venture to bet that your plants are still going to be hungry. That’s why I always supplement all basket feedings with a slow-release fertilizer. There are many formulations but a wellbalanced 14-14-14 fertilizer will do just fine. One or two tablespoons are all you’ll really need for continuous feeding the rest of the summer. It’s amazing stuff.

All this fertilization will get those plants moving but don’t forget that you planted those

OVER50% 90% SOLD OVER SOLD 60% baskets for some colour. Once your baskets are on their way and really growing, switch to a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen but high in phosphorus and potash. I’m pleased with the results from the fish fertilizer based formulation of Morbloom 0-10-10.

It holds the vegetative growth back while allowing lots of blossoms to form.

The size of your basket, proper watering and the timing and choice of fertilizer are, believe me, the secrets to success with baskets. Sure you must dead-head, prune back and occasionally spray for disease and insects but those three areas are the keys to great looking baskets.

Until the baskets acclimatize to outside conditions, it’s important to keep your baskets out of the wind and in the warmest, most sheltered spot you have.

By taking this little extra care, all your baskets and containers should look fabulous and be even bigger and better as the summer goes on.

U-17 PAN AMERICAN GAMES

Polo in Peru for Coquitlam teen Coquitlam player is set to play on world stage MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Chlorine runs in Maxwell Macmillan’s veins.

His father, Allan, played for Canada’s national water polo team in the 1990s.

On June 29, Maxwell will pull on a water polo cap for his country at the U-17 Pan American Championships in Lima, Peru.

It will be the younger Macmillan’s first dip in international competition. But it’s already whetting his desire to become a Canadian Olympian.

Maxwell said he’s never felt any pressure to swim in his dad’s wake, but when he first tossed a water polo ball five years ago after swimming competitively with the Port Moody Aquarians, he knew he’d found his sport.

“It felt like the pool is where I belong,” said Maxwell, 15.

Since then he’s taken to the sport like, well, a fish to water.

He’s one of the leading scorers in the National Championship League, the top rung of competitive club water polo in Canada, where he’s a “driver” for the Pacific Storm. He’s won medals at the Western and Canadian championships for U-14s and U-16s and he won

silver at nationals playing with a U-19 team.

It’s a wave of success that’s made him one of the younger players on the U-17 team that will compete in Peru.

Maxwell said he expects to learn a lot.

“I’ll see what internationallevel water polo is like,” he said.

“I’m not nervous. I can definitely hold my own.”

And in the water polo pool, “holding your own” means not drowning as opposing players do everything they can underwater, out of view of the referees, to throw you off your game, said Maxwell.

“You have to be aware what’s going on around you.

Almost anything goes underwater.”

Water polo is a gruelling, rough and tumble sport, said Maxwell, that tests fitness and stealth.

“You’ve got to be really sneaky,” he said.

But there’s no other sport he’d rather be playing.

“This is just the starting point of my water polo career,” said Maxwell.

• Maxwell’s family is hosting a burger and beer fundraiser on Saturday, to help defray some of the costs of getting him to Peru. The event goes from 6-9 p.m. at the Townhall Public House, 925 Brunette Ave., in Coquitlam. Donations can be made online at www.paypal. me/PanAmPoloPeru. mbartel@tricitynews.com

BCJALL LACROSSE

Adanacs’ comeback betters NW Bellies Coquitlam battles back to solidify first place DAN OLSON

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A five-goal deficit isn’t how you prefer to start a game, but for the defending national champion Coquitlam Junior A Adanacs, it proved to be a

minor obstacle en route to their latest win.

Coquitlam roared back from a 6-1 deficit Tuesday to knock off the New Westminster Salmonbellies 9-8. That increases their hold on first place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League.

Down 4-0 after 20 minutes and by five with 25 minutes left in the contest, the Adanacs deployed a workharder attitude to overtake

the ‘Bellies, who were aiming to grab a share of first place in the standings with a win.

Coquitlam made the comeback look easy, even if it wasn’t.

“We were just thinking about the next shift, winning the little battles and not worrying about the outcome,” said Coquitlam forward John Hofseth. “Coming into the second [period] we were a little down but there’s no time

to feel sorry for ourselves.

We just had to come out and work hard.”

They did just that, with the second-year sniper counting back-to-back identical rockets from the high slot to first tie the score, and 42 seconds later, give the Adanacs its first lead.

“I had a few chances early in the game that weren’t dropping, [but]I finally got my rhythm down and was lucky to

get those two,” said Hofseth.

While Carter Dickson pounced on a powerplay to draw New West even 7-7 with 4:15 left in the third, the visitors reclaimed the momentum and pushed ahead with markers from Ethan Ticehurst, on a breakaway, and the game winner by Keenan Koswin.

Although New West closed the gap to one with 29 seconds remaining, they were

unable to regain control of the ball for a serious threat.

It was the second time this season that the Minto Cup champions, who improved to 13-1, had beaten New West by a one-goal margin.

“We feel we’re right with them. Both times we played them we lost by a goal,” noted ‘Bellies coach Todd Stockdale.

ADANACS COMEBACK

COLLEGE SOCCER

Douglas to host 2018 women’s nationals The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association women’s soccer national championship is coming to Coquitlam in 2018.

It’s the first time a women’s national championship is being hosted by Douglas College, and all games will be played at Percy Perry Stadium, just across the street

from the Coquitlam campus, Nov. 7 to 10, 2018.

“Events of this caliber bring the college and community together to support our team,” said Brian Mclennan, the school’s athletics manager.

The host Royals won a bronze medal at the 2016 nationals and in 2015 they won the PACWEST championship.

The team has also had several All-Canadian award-winners in recent years.

“This proves how far we’ve come,” said Sam Kell, who will be playing her fifth and final year for the Royals in 2018. “It will be nice to have everyone who supported us be there in person to see us compete and cheer us on.”

SPORTS BRIEFS MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Adanacs forward Max Gerhardt gets a shot away on New Westminster Salmonbellies keeper Eric Kratz in their BC Junior A Lacrosse League game, Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena.

Win was 11th in a row continued from page 38

“For the most part we feel we are right with them. One bounce one way or another we could have had them tonight.

They got the bounces tonight and put them in the net.”

Matthew McIlwrick and Angelo Pontellini joined Hofseth in scoring twice, while Tommy Scanlan notched the other Coquitlam goal.

Christian Del Bianco turned aside 33 shots, while Coquitlam fired 39 shots at New West’s Erik Kratz.

The win was the Adanacs’ 11th in a row, since their only loss, to the Langley Thunder.

It also gives them a four-point cushion over the second-place Salmonbellies. Both teams have played 14 games.

The Adanacs’ next test comes Sunday, 2 p.m. when they

host the Victoria Shamrocks at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Meanwhile, the Port Coquitlam Saints played the Langley Thunder at the Langley Events Centre Thursday (after The Tri-City News’ deadline) in a critical game for their playoff hopes. The Saints are four points behind the Thunder who are in fourth place.

Play On! at the mall The world’s largest annual hockey festival faces off in Coquitlam Saturday and Sunday. But it won’t be played on ice.

Play On! is taking over part of the parking lot of Coquitlam Centre for the ultimate street hockey tournament. Hundreds of players from eight-andunder to adult will play in 16 divisions for different competitive levels on up to 60 separate street hockey rinks. Over the course of the two-day event, there could be more than 1,500 games played.

Since the tournament started in 2003, over two million people have participated in 155 events.

In fact, the tournament is so big it’s recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.

The Coquitlam tournament is one of 12 held on closed roadways and parking lots across the country from early May to the end of June.

One of the tournaments, in Ottawa June 3 to 4, was even played on an airstrip runway of the Rockcliffe Flying Club to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.

Sel is survived by his wife of 62 years, Louise Hartley; his sons Michael, Bruce, Dave (Susan) and Ron; his grandchildren Arran, Cara, Kaylin, Raven, Tessamay, Chase, Jordana and Brittnay; and his great-grandchildren Brayden, Kira and Kinsley.

A Memorial Service will be held at Valley View Funeral Home on June 22 at 2:00PM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cross Roads Hospice.
