PROVINCIAL ELECTION

BC Liberals spent big in the Tri-Cities Hundreds of thousands spent in local races DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Money can’t buy you love, but if it did the BC Liberals would have won an additional seat in Coquitlam and BC Greens wouldn’t have doubled their vote.

Election expenses published Tuesday by Elections BC showed that Liberals were

the big spenders in the May 9 provincial election while BC Greens running in the TriCities spent a comparably tiny sum but still managed an impressive showing.

The report also showed that BC Liberal incumbent Linda Reimer, who lost to NDP candidate Rick Glumac in Port Moody-Coquitlam, didn’t file her expense report by the Elections Act deadline, an error that will cost her $500 in late filing fees. The next deadline is Sept. 7. see ISAACS, page 5

Vancouver rock singer Bif Naked — pictured with her husband Steve ‘Snake’ Allen on guitar — headlined the city of Coquitlam’s Kaleidoscope Arts Festival at Coquitlam Town Centre Park Plaza last Saturday night. More than 7,000 people visited the grounds during the day-long event, which was sponsored in part by The Tri-City News and included such music acts as The Matinée, West My Friend and Coquitlam’s own Jennifer Hayes. For more photos of the second annual fest, turn to page 15.

A Burke Mountain neighbourhood is sleeping easier this week after two cougars that were stalking pets and approached a Coquitlam family were destroyed by conservation officers last Friday night.

Spokesperson Jack Trudgian said the officers were called

to the area behind Sadie Crescent, off Coast Meridian Road, after receiving reports that two small children were approached by a big cat and a pet feline was also killed.

“They weren’t afraid of us when we arrived,” said Jack Trudgian, acting sergeant with the Conservation Officer Service. see BE AWARE, page 7

Cleaning up the Coquitlam River ‘If a few more people took care, it would be a really clean river’

HOW TO HELP Here’s how you can help keep the Coquitlam River clean: • If you carry something to the river, you should take it with you when you leave.

• No fires and no smoking.

• Walkers, dogs and cyclists should stay on authorized trails.

• Bag your dog’s feces and dispose of it responsibly — don’t just toss it into the bushes.

• If you see litter, carry it out.

• If you see someone smoking or having a fire, speak to them or call the fire department.

MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

There’s nothing Christopher Moreno and his wife Natalie like to do better to beat the heat than floating down the Coquitlam River on an inflatable raft with their daughters, Saige and Amber.

But their cooling cruise during the recent hot spell was soured by the amount of trash and litter they spied along the riverbanks and in the water itself.

So a few days later the Morenos went out again — this time without their kids and equipped with garbage bags — to do something about it.

As they floated from David Avenue to Lions Park in Port Coquitlam they collected more than five pounds of costume jewelry, assorted flip-flops and sandals, beer cans and water bottles. What they couldn’t fit into their bag were the discarded lawn chairs and even a shopping cart.

“It becomes such a daunting task when you see how much trash there is all along the river,” said Natalie.

In fact, the couple had to cut their clean-up mission short at Lions Park because they ran out of bags.

Verne Kucy, the environmental projects manager for the city of Coquitlam, said while the city doesn’t have a staff person dedicated to patrolling the riverbanks, it does work closely with community organizations and vigilant

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Christopher Moreno and his wife Natalie were dismayed by the amount of garbage and debris they saw along the Coquitlam River when they recently did a family float with their daughters, Saige and Amber. So they went back, this time equipped with garbage bags, and filled one of them with junk like flip flops, bottles, cans and plastic bags. citizens to respond to calls about excessive trash heaps or large discarded items. Parks staff also check the river and its shores during their routine servicing of parks or trails.

“There’s quite a few eyes on the river,” Kucy said.

One of those sets of eyes belongs to Jeff Rudd, a volunteer with Coquitlam RiverWatch, a volunteer initiative that was started in 1997 to protect the Coquitlam River watershed.

Members of the group patrol

the watershed monthly to observe the level of human activity, litter and pollutants, as well as water quality and wildlife. That information is then compiled to create an ongoing profile of the river’s health.

“I find litter and garbage all along the river, but it is usually concentrated at the beaches,” Rudd said of his regular patrols along the river from David Avenue to the Patricia footbridge.

He said he’s found every-

thing from cigarette butts to deflated inner tubes to a patio table. In 2016, he collected 124 flip-flops, all of them singles except for one pair.

“It demonstrates very clearly the heavy use the river receives,” Rudd said.

And that use is growing as the population of the Tri-Cities increases, especially when the weather gets warm.

“People picnic on the beach, tube down the river, swim, drink,” Rudd said.

Kucy said the city’s efforts to keep the rivershed clean have been aided by its adopt-a-trail program that allows individuals, organizations, schools, businesses or even families to take stewardship of a section of trail to keep it clear of litter, graffiti and hazards. About 10 kilometres of trails along the river have been adopted.

“I think people are becoming more conscientious,” Kucy said.

The Morenos said they were reminded of the importance of

keeping the river clean when they also saw an owl and a deer as they floated along.

“You realize how much lives along the river,” Moreno said.

“You want to make sure it’s safe for the wildlife that lives here.”

That wildlife includes up to 24 species of fish, mammals, birds, amphibians like the redlegged frog, reptiles and insects as well as native vegetation, Rudd said.

“Human use of the river affects all these creatures.”

Even seemingly innocuous acts like taking a shortcut through some bushes or letting the dog run loose to cool off in the water can stress the habitat, Rudd said.

It’s all about taking personal responsibility, Moreno said.

“If a few more people took care, it would be a really clean river.”

Metro urges residents to ‘Put waste in its Place’ Illegal dumping is costing taxpayers big bucks, says Mayor Moore DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Illegal dumping is costing taxpayers millions of dollars each year but the response of

most Metro Vancouverites to the illegal ditching of household goods is “meh.”

That could soon change if Metro Vancouver’s Waste in its Place campaign bears fruit and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, whose city spends more than $82,000 a year in clean-up costs for dumped goods — one of the highest in the region — said he hopes people start being more responsible

for their stuff.

The chair of the Metro Vancouver board said he was “astonished” to find out that 60% of residents surveyed have either dumped household items illegally or would do it in the future, with inconvenience being a deciding factor.

Another 40% told surveyors this past spring that they thought it was OK to dump items in public spaces, be-

lieving it was just another form of recycling.

“I can’t believe the majority of the population believes it’s OK to put a mattress or a couch behind a dumpster somewhere,” Moore told The Tri-City News, adding, “Our survey told us we’re not doing enough, so that’s why were launching this campaign.”

continued from page 3

The education campaign began July 31, with Metro Vancouver launching wasteinitsplace.ca, which people can use to find places to legally drop off their items for reuse or recycling.

On the website, which is available in a mobile format, users can find out the closest place to take large furniture, electronics, paint and a number of other items. They’ll also learn about municipal programs such as large-item pickup services, pop-up junk days and spring cleaning events. The initiative will also be supported via social media and advertising.

Moore said he believes that when people know better, they will take steps to deal with their waste responsibly, pointing to the mattress recycling program as a positive example. Although people have to pay $30 to drop off their mattress and box spring at the Coquitlam transfer station, he said, they can feel better knowing the mattress will be recycled.

Returning bottles and pop cans for deposit has also successfully kept drinking containers out of the waste stream, he said.

Metro Vancouver has launched a Waste in its Place campaign to encourage people to dispose of their household items responsibly.

It costs $5 million a year to clean up large bulky items disposed illegally, according to Metro.

“It’s a good news story at the end of the day. We have to encourage people to get bulky items into the right place for recycling,” Moore said, noting that taxpayers ultimately pay when people dump their junk in back alleys and ravines. “It’s not that this gets picked up for free by the city — there’s a cost.”

Joan Isaacs, the lone BC Liberal elected in the Tri-Cities, spent $106,684 to win Coquitlam-Burke Mountain.

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Isaacs leads the way in election spending continued from front page

Still, even without Reimer’s expense report, the BC Liberals look like they were targeting Tri-City ridings in a bid to boost their numbers or retain their seats.

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Joan Isaacs, who is now a health critic in the BC Liberal shadow cabinet, spent $106,684 to capture her seat in a close race against BC NDP incumbent Jodie Wickens, who spent $85,811.75.

Wickens failed to get the needed votes, while Isaacs pushed past her to win the seat with 44.28% of the vote, compared to 43.91% for Wickens.

Ian Soutar, who ran for the BC Green Party in the riding,

was the biggest Green Party spender locally, shelling out $5,273.94 to win 11.81% of the popular vote.

In Coquitlam-Maillardville, BC Liberal Steve Kim failed in his bid to win the seat away from BC NDP incumbent Selina Robinson despite spending $107,732.90.

Robinson, who is now minister of municipal affairs and housing in the new BC NDP cabinet, spent $99,650.27 to win her seat. Nicola Spurling, who ran for the BC Green Party in the riding, spent just $1,093.42 but managed to win 11% of the vote.

To win his Port MoodyCoquitlam seat, Glumac spent $92,405.71 to snatch the seat away from Reimer while Don

Barthel of the BC Greens spent $1,306, but managed to win 12.11% of the vote.

Meanwhile, in the Port Coquitlam riding, Mike Farnworth, now public safety minister and solicitor general, handily won his seat, spending $62,945 in the process.

His BC Liberal competitor, Susan Chambers, a business woman and Maple Ridge resident, spent only $31,564.44 for her bid, the lowest of any BC Liberal candidate in the local races.

Running for the BC Green Party, Jason Hanley spent $1,427 on his candidacy and earned 12.75% of the vote, the best result of any local Green Party candidate. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Krista Wojciechowski and children Lilly, 11, and Lukasz, 9, check out the books at the Little Free Library at Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam. The family has taken responsibility for the book kiosk to make sure it is well-stocked. It’s one of a number of mini libraries on a tour that people can take to see what’s available and collect a card, with prizes and a special event celebrating the initiative slated for Sept. 9 at Leigh Square in Port Coquitlam.

LITERACY

Tiny library a convenient alternative ‘The more places people can get books, the better’ DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

It’s one of the tiniest libraries in the Tri-Cities, doesn’t have internet access or a checkout desk, and the number of books is small.

But for Krista Wojciechowski and her children, Lilly, 11, and Lukasz, 9, a visit to the Little Free Library at Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam is a daily ritual.

The family looks after the little red library that was recently restored to its location near the playground after it was vandalized earlier this year.

“I am very passionate about books and literature,” Krista told The Tri-City News on a recent sunny afternoon. “I am excited when people choose the books but it’s the kids who will run and get the door open. The adults are a little more hesitant and the kids are ‘Yes! Books!”

Lilly and Lukasz, who are big readers, happily thumb through the collection that includes adult novels as well as a number of kids’ books, like Bad Kitty and Judy Blume titles.

The Wojciechowski family is among several volunteer stewards who have been stocking books and keeping watch over the miniature libraries that have sprung up in the Tri-Cities over the last number of years in local parks and in front of homes.

They are simple to use: Just pick a book and read it, put it back or replace it with another book.

For people who can’t always get to their local libraries, the little free libraries are a great way to make reading accessible for all, says Ann Johannes, Tri-Cities Literacy outreach coordinator.

“As any librarian would say, the more places people can get books, the better.”

The little free libraries got off to a roaring start when the literacy committee had money to give out as grants.

Even when the money ran out, people still built the miniature libraries, many of them looking like quaint cottages.

But with a recent bout of vandalism to a few of the libraries located in parks, Johannes said the public needs to be reminded about the project and take ownership of the little free libraries.

“People need to realize how important they are to the community,” she said.

To that end, a tour has been organized, where people can visit 16 of the little free libraries that have been pinpointed on a map and pick up a card indicating they visited.

They are also encouraged to take a book and leave a book, and attend a special event on Saturday, Sept.

9 at Leigh Square in Port Coquitlam. The party takes place at 1 p.m. and prizes will be given away.

WILDLIFE

Be aware of animal attractants, says CO continued from front page

The juvenile cougars were likely brothers and had been left to fend for themselves, he added. Having killed one pet cat, they were likely to kill another, and by hanging around the Burke Mountain neighbourhood could have gotten into conflicts with people living in the area.

The cougars weighed about 50 pounds and were healthy and there was no sign of the

mother.

“They were learning to fend for themselves and that’s why they got into trouble,” Trudgian said, noting that residents appeared to understand why the animals had to be killed.

“They live in an area where there’s lots of wildlife and they always have to be aware.

I think it’s an eye opener for them,” he said.

The cougar deaths come at the height of bear season and

Trudgian admitted officers are “very busy” with bear complaints in the area.

“This warm weather has killed a lot of the berries in the mountains,” he said. “We want people to be aware of their attractants.”

One bear was recently destroyed in Coquitlam after it walked into a kitchen through an open door and rummaged through a fridge.

POLICE INCIDENT

Woman busted driving wrong way on Hwy. 1 GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Mounties say it was “miraculous” more people were not seriously injured or killed when a woman drove west from Surrey to Coquitlam in the eastbound lane of the Trans-Canada Highway Thursday night.

The incident started at around 7:45 p.m. in the 16000 block of Highway 1 in Surrey, continued over the Port Mann Bridge and ended when police used one of their vehicles to push the suspect driver off the road underneath the Brunette Overpass.

“It was a dangerous situation,” said Coquitlam RCMP Sgt. Darren Pankratz. “The fact this didn’t end differently is miraculous. The potential for significant head-on collisions at highway speeds was high.”

He added that it was “good old fashioned luck” that someone was not seriously hurt or killed.

Still, there were some minor injuries when the woman caused another driver on the Surrey side to swerve out of the way, crashing into a concrete barrier before hitting another vehicle.

The RCMP’s Air 1 helicopter followed the vehicle over the Port Mann Bridge, where she is believed to have caused another accident near the Cape

Horn Interchange. A short while later, police were able to catch up with her and disable her vehicle at Brunette.

Pankratz said he would not be surprised if other vehicles were damaged during the incident.

“We may still get some reporting of minor vehicle damage,” he added. “Whether there were vehicles that had gone off the shoulder or had damage, we would certainly like to have them report that into us.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident or was somehow involved is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-9451550.

Pankratz said it is still unclear why the woman was

driving in the wrong direction.

Witnesses told The Tri-City News that the woman appeared distraught when she was taken into custody, however police are still investigating exactly what happened.

“We don’t know the cause of this,” Pankratz said, adding the investigation could go in multiple directions. “Clearly, we are investigating the cause, whether it was impairment or other factors that led to the circumstances or whether there are grounds to pursue criminal charges for dangerous driving.”

The incident snarled traffic on Highway 1 while police investigated. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

And it will be a big — and heavy — heart that will help propel him on Aug. 26 when the Coquitlam man hops on his carbon-fibre Trek bike and sets off for Seattle on the annual Ride to Conquer Cancer to support the BC Cancer Foundation.

Steers’ fuel and his burden will be the memory of his daughter, Meredith, who died in 2000 from acute myeloma leukaemia. She was just 28 months old.

Since that fateful day when Meredith’s daycare provider called to say she “just wasn’t feeling right,” cancer has had its tendrils wrapped around Steers’ heart. The phone call set off a quick cascade of doctor appointments that culminated with a parent’s worst nightmare the next day when she was diagnosed.

Nine months later, she was gone.

But Steers and his wife Darla never forgot the care Meredith received at BC Children’s Hospital, the caring extended to them by her whole medical and support team. For years, the couple donated time, energy and money even as they raised their two sons, Bennett and Emerson, who were born after Meredith passed away.

In 2009, Steers found another way to give back. HIs employer, RJC Engineers, entered a team in the first Ride to Conquer Cancer, and although he wasn’t a cyclist, Steers volunteered to drive the support vehicle that would ensure riders stayed fuelled and hydrated as they made the 200-km, twoday trek to Seattle.

The next year — the 10th anniversary of Meredith’s death — Steers decided to get out of the car and onto a bike. In the peloton, he discovered a whole community of cyclists whose lives had been touched by cancer in some way.

“Everybody is there because of cancer, not because they’re

They shared stories, some smiles, many tears.

Steers has participated in every ride since, and he has become one of the event’s largest fundraisers. This year, he has already amassed nearly $18,000 in pledges.

And he’s collected at least one convert.

A few years ago, his wife decided to end her cycling widowhood by combining a visit to her family in Alberta with riding in that province’s Ride to Conquer Cancer, from Calgary to Okotoks and back. Last year, Steers joined her and did both events, a feat he’s repeating this summer (he did the Alberta ride on this past weekend). The couple’s sons have even started training so they can participate in next year’s ride.

Steers said he began training for the successive events in March and by the time he heads to Calgary, he’ll have more than 1,500 km in his legs.

“The challenge is to have the confidence you can do it,” Steers said. “It’s pretty daunting to ride 200 km.”

But the tired legs and sore butt, along with the challenges of rolling hills and variable weather are diminished by the cause he and hundreds of other cyclists are riding for.

“You’re riding along and you say this is nothing compared to what people are going through when they’re in treatment.”

Abou-Samra gives thousands to Philippine hospital

COME IN AND RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION AND DENTURE CARE PACKAGE FREE!

MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

An accident that could have ruined John Abou-Samra’s vacation in the Philippines will instead help the small hospital that treated him serve its patients with new, modern equipment.

Abou-Samra, a Port Coquitlam bus driver, was standing on a pier in Kayangan Lake, a resort about one hour from the city of Coron, in June, when a couple of wooden slats gave way and one of his legs plunged down to his hip.

Bystanders rushed to his aid to pull him up, soothed his scrapes with ice and cold water, and helped him walk up and over a steep ridge where he could catch a boat that would transport him back to his hotel.

It wasn’t until the next day that the pain and severity of his wounds started to cause AbouSamra concern. The hotel where he was staying arranged to drive him to Coron District Hospital to get checked out.

The attending physician, Dr. Edgar Flores, sent Abou-Samra for X-rays to ensure he hadn’t broken any bones, then advised him how to treat his injury with hot and cold water, as well as rest.

As he was waiting, AbouSamra was struck by the small hospital’s spartan condition.

Machinery was old or non-existent. Supplies were spare.

Yet, Abou-Samra said the staff treated him with the great-

As he left the hospital, Abou-Samra started to think about how he might be able to return that concern. When he returned to the hospital the next day to thank Dr. Flores, and asked how he could help, the doctor showed him a small donation box.

But Abou-Samra had a grander idea.

A longtime supporter of the food bank in the Tri-Cities, Abou-Samra is a devout believer in contributing to his community, even on a bus driver’s salary.

So his planned retirement cruise could wait; instead, he offered to purchase medical equipment for the hospital that helped him. He asked the doctor to compile a wish list that could help make him a better doctor, and his hospital better able to care for its community.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

John Abou-Samra, a Port Coquitlam bus driver, is donating a three-page shopping list of medical supplies to the hospital in Coron, The Philippines, that treated him after he had an accident while on holiday in June.

HOSPITAL DONATION

‘Give them the means, they can work miracles’ continued from page 10

Months later, and only a few weeks from his retirement from Coast Mountain Bus Company, Abou-Samra has placed orders with a local medical supplies company for items like an ECG machine, oxygen gauge, stetho-

scopes, a centrifuge and even a defibrillator.

And he’s working with a friend in the Filipino community, Freddie Baguno, to coordinate with the Philippines’ consulate in Vancouver to transport the equipment to Coron.

The bill will come to more

than $16,000.

But that number isn’t important to Abou-Samra; what really matters is the effect it will have on so many lives.

“If you give them the means, they can work miracles,” AbouSamra said. “I like to make a difference.” mbartel@tricitynews.com

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

Major changes are required, but ICBC can still be salvaged I t will be tempting to call for the privatization of ICBC because of recent transgressions, which have made the auto insurer a cash cow in good times and a political football in bad.

Yes, we need government to stop messing around with ICBC but, as the recent Ernst & Young report pointed out, there are a number of things the new NDP government can do to reduce accidents and the cost of insurance claims without eliminating the Crown insurer entirely.

While some increase in rates may be necessary to stave off insolvency, the government should also crack down on danNEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n

gerous driving to keep claim costs down.

This may require an entirely new view of how we drive and will alarm many who believe driving fast and dangerously is their right.

The review of ICBC requested by the previous BC Liberal government suggested that the government tackle road safety as a number one priority.

It recommended the return of photo radar, based on research that says it could cut fatal and serious collisions by a third.

More red light cameras could be installed and more resources put into policing impaired and distracted driving.

TC

Not mentioned in the report is reinstitution of auto safety tests, similar to AirCare, where a car’s basic mechanics is examined to ensure they are safe for highway driving and, even more stringent, but possibly necessary, the enhancement and frequency of drivers’ tests and tougher penalties for those who break the law.

While it would be nice if people just stopped driving dangerously of their own accord, that’s not likely to happen without some tougher rules.

On the other hand, those with long safety records should perhaps receive even more incentives for good driving.

On the claim side, the report showed that increasing weekly wage and medical benefits while reducing lump some payouts for minor pain and suffering could reduce premiums and save between $770 million and $1.4 billion depending on the chosen model.

That too, would be a radical change, but maybe necessary to keep insurance affordable.

Can ICBC be saved? Yes, but to do so will require an entirely new perspective on driving and auto insurance.

Can the new NDP withstand the political heat required to make such a change?

Stay tuned.

ISTOCK

A review of ICBC requested by the previous BC Liberal government recommended bringing back photo radar and increasing the number of red light cameras on B.C. roads.

DEVELOPMENT

City should focus on protecting its trees The Editor, Re: “PoCo, have your say on trees in your city” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 9) I am a resident of Port Coquitlam and was very disturbed by the city removing those beautiful old trees in the recreation complex redevelopment.

I am as deeply disturbed by the city’s new approach of dealing with it’s citizens backlash of opinion of the city’s actions by setting up a distorted policy on tree management and tree inventory.

Look at the city website: It’s all about private owner’s trees.

The issue arose in public opinion because of the city’s action against the rec centre’s old trees. Why were these trees not incorporated into the redevelopment plans?

Trees cut down also included a bunch on the outside of the rec centre lot that could have easily been incorporated into the plan. Instead of looking within to the city’s own actions,

The tree stumps near the Port Coquitlam recreation complex this spring. the council is focused externally to trees on private lands. Let’s start with internal policies with the city on city lands and parks.

How about developing internal city procedures on public consultation before the city is starts hiring someone to cut trees on city lands and parks?

Show the public that the city has implemented procedures and plans so more trees are not carelessly cut down on city property and parks again.

Don’t shift the attention.

There are lots of people in the PoCo community that love and support trees on their own lands. What PoCo needs

is some introspection by city council to protect trees from it’s own city council and staff’s planning and implementation of plans for city land and parks.

Show some leadership and take some accountability instead of shifting the conversation. I would certainly support initiatives to trees on private lands, but it seems to me that city council needs to show how city council will protect city trees from itself before telling PoCo citizens how to protect their own trees. Otherwise, the city comes across as hypocritical.

BEAR AWARE

Frustrated & hungry bear causes concern in PoCo The Editor, For the past few weeks, a bear has been hanging around our neighbourhood.

At first he was fine but the past few days I have noticed that the bear is very weak. He walks very slowly and struggles to climb the fence.

The bear is now getting more aggressive in going into empty garbage bins due to

being hungry, I suspect. A few days ago, I had come out to the front driveway at around 9 p.m. to alert my daughter of the bear in the area when arriving home from work. As I walked on my driveway, there comes the bear behind me.

Although I stood still in front of him approximately 10 feet away, the bear started to walk slowly toward me. As I

turned my back to walk away, he started accelerating toward me.

I was lucky that I was only a few feet away from the front door. While I appreciate that people need to do their best to keep their garbage away from bears, it is now becoming a concern.

ROTARY’S AMAZING

Brought to you by J. FITZPATRICK & ASSOCIATES Come spend a day, where we will challenge your mind, body & team spirit in a race around the Tri-Cities!

DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Gather a foursome of friends and acquaintances for a day of golf and help Port Moody seniors make new friends, too.

That’s the idea of the Links to Friendship Golf Tournament taking place Tuesday, Aug. 29 at Meadow Gardens in Pitt Meadows.

“It will be a wonderful day of golf, lunch, a tee gift and a great banquet and it’s all going to support seniors in the community,” said Gerry Nuttall, president of the Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society.

This is the first in what will hopefully be an annual event to raise funds to subsidize programs for a new social club for adults over 50 that is run by volunteers at 101 Noons Creek Dr., PoMo. Currently, The Club as it is known, offers day trips as well as meals, card games and other activities, but some seniors face challenges in getting to the centre. The longterm goal, Nuttall said, is to purchase a bus to pick up people so they can get to The Club and home again without worrying.

Funds raised from the golf tournament will go towards that objective, he said.

The golf tournament funds will also help subsidize programming and keep costs affordable for seniors.

“Our goal is to provide special events for free or at a nominal amount so even low-income seniors can participate,” he told The Tri-City News.

Wade Leslie, vice-president and general manager of Pacific Coast Terminals, said his com-

The busy thoroughfare is going to be closed to traffic between Douglas and Moody streets from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. so the city can host its first CarFree Day from noon to 7 p.m.

The event, which runs from Grant to Queens streets, will feature more than 90 booths representing local businesses, artisans and community organizations, as well as live music and family activities like rock climbing, street hockey and a bike skills and safety zone. Entertainers and mascots will rove the closed street and there will also be a beer garden at the Queens Street Plaza featuring favourite brews from Brewers Row.

Dip into someone else’s life with a book this summer A GOOD READ CAROLINE WANDELL

T

here are few things as inspiring as a first-hand account of greatness.

One of the best ways to learn about human nature and the world is through reading biographies and memoir books.

Whether the subject is your hero or someone about whom you are simply curious, each chapter reveals the struggles and challenges they faced along the way to make them the people they became.

If you are looking for a bit of inspiration, or if you just need a new book to read, there is probably something here for you.

Otis Redding: an Unfinished Life by author Jonathan Gould chronicles the too-short life of this musical genius from Georgia. He dives into the cultural and historical changes that led to the birth of soul music while delivering insightful descriptions of Redding’s live performances and recording sessions. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Redding’s death in a plane crash at the age of 26. This is a great tribute to this legendary musician.

Mark Lukach writes a riveting read with My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward: A Memoir.

Newly married and looking forward to all life has to offer, his world crumbles when his 27-year-old wife suffers a terrifying and unexpected psychotic breakdown. Lukach takes us through the harrowing years of diagnosis, hospitalization, treatment and recovery.

This book offers a personal insight into the caregiving side of the mentally ill and the struggles one faces to seek the best care for those we love.

Down Inside: Thirty Years In Canada’s Prison Service

by Robert Clark details his time spent working for the Canadian Correctional Service, rising from student volunteer to deputy warden. This memoir gives one an inside look at Canada’s prison system as Clark writes about escapes, lockdowns, a riot, prisoner murders and suicides as well as his experience with solitary confinement. This book provides the reader with an authentic, unfiltered view of how prison staff perform their duties and how prisoners learn to survive. It held my attention from start to finish.

Fans of the iconic musician and singer Tony Bennett are in for a treat with his latest memoir, Just Getting Started.

Co-written with Scott Simon, this book acknowledges the people who contributed to Bennett’s success, such as Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland, Martin Luther King Jr., Amy Winehouse, Fred Astaire, Lady Gaga and members of his family. Bennett explains how each of them played vital roles in the shaping of the person he has become both musically and artistically. And at 90 years of age, this legend believes he is just getting started!

Manal al-Sharif, a women’s rights activist from Saudi Arabia, pens a gripping memoir in Daring to Drive: A Saudi Woman’s Awakening. She writes about living in a country where females are forbidden to talk with male colleagues, go on business trips, wear pants or drive a car. Daring to Drive covers the author’s difficult upbringing, her fight to be educated and all it took for her as a young Muslim woman to stand up to a kingdom of men. The book details the threats and

accusations she received for her actions and her incredible strength and determination to never give up on what she truly believed in. An honest account of growing up female in a deeply conservative society.

Find these and other fascinating biographies at the Terry Fox Library.

A Good Read is a column

by Tri-City librarians that is published on Wednesdays.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF WALKING Walking may not seem as beneficial as other cardiovascular exercises like, running, biking or swimming, but there are a lot of health benefits to walking regularly. Especially for seniors.

Walking just 30 minutes a day is recommended for seniors and people of all ages. A brisk walk can help you lead a happier, healthy life well into old age.

It is very important as you get older to stay active. Maintaining your muscle mass and flexibility goes a long way in keeping you healthy and independent.

It will also greatly reduce the need for a walker or other type or walking aid.

However, if you do find that you need some support when you are getting around you may need a mobility aid.

Benefit blues concert JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Rocky Milino Jr. is back singing the blues.

The Archbishop Carney regional secondary grad started out in the genre, mirroring the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Colin James.

But, over the next 20 years, he went back and forth in pop, rock and new school styles until he finally came full circle last summer.

Next month, he releases his eighth album — a project he wrote and recorded in a Port Moody basement suite in between working as a heavyduty mechanic for BC Ferries on the Queen of Oak Bay and Queen of Capilano as well as doing some contract work for his dad.

The CD is titled Pleasantside Blues and stays true to Milino’s roots. “I love all kinds of music,” he said. “My playlist goes from Jay-Z to Hank Williams but when I pick up the guitar, I play the blues. For me, that’s where my heart is.

That’s the thing that sounds the most natural to me.”

The seven original tracks on his new album tell stories of love and heartbreak and are performed with his band, Cause4Drama. The tunes were mixed by Bill Buckingham at The Palace and mastered by Craig Waddell at Gotham City Studio.

Milino has picked a venue close to home to launch his music: Romer’s restaurant in Suter Brook Village. And on Sept. 16, he and the band will combine its release with a fundraiser for the B.C. wildfire victims, with all CD sales from that night supporting the Red Cross relief fund.

The EP will also be available for download on iTunes that same day.

It’s not their only show to push the album. On Sept. 2, they’ll perform at the Fairview Pub in Vancouver as part of a two-day festival called

Milino said they’ve got a prime spot at 10:30 p.m.

Playing the blues live “you get to improvise much more than with pop or rock and the crowd gets it,” the 35-year-old bachelor said. “They’re dancing and watching and are more appreciative. It’s not stale.”

After the two September gigs, Milino said he’ll be working on his fourth-class engineering certification through the BC Ferries apprenticeship program — with the aim to specialize in rebuilding mas-

“Everything’s going right for me: I’ve got a great job. I’m healthy. I’m moving into a new place. I’ve got a bright future.

I’d just like to find someone to share it with.”

Two Grade 1 pipe bands with more than a dozen TriCity musicians will return from Scotland this week without capturing the title.

Last Saturday, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band placed fifth overall at the worlds at Glasgow Green while the Port Coquitlambased Dowco Triumph Street Band — led by PoCo resident Pipe Major David Hilder — earned 12th spot.

Taking the top three positions were Inveraray & District (Scotland), Field Marshal Montgomery (North Ireland) and St. Laurence O’Toole (Ireland).

The six-time international titleholders from SFU — led by Coquitlam drummer J. Reid Maxwell — includes the Tri-Cities’ Richard Gillies, Alistair Lee, Andrew Lee, Dani Millar, Anna Smart, Louise Bentley, Gavin McRae, Duncan Millar, Stephen Paynter and Kyle Wallis; Robert MacNeil of Coquitlam is the president of the SFUPB Society.

Pipe Major Alan Bevan said he wasn’t disappointed as the score was close.

“This is a great result for the band. It feels great to be back in the top six,” he said in an SFU news release, which also noted the band took seventh place last year.

“We’re really happy with all four performances. It just felt like the band kept ramping it up and getting more and more confidence every time out.”

Bevan added, “There’s a great feeling in the band right now. Everyone is very positive and confident about the band’s advance-

SFU PIPE SGT. jACK LEE ment and success.”

Meanwhile, SFU’s junior Robert Malcolm Memorial Grade 3 band took sixth place among a roster of primarily Scottish youth bands.

This year was the 70th anniversary of the World Pipe Band Championships, which have been held in Glasgow for more than 30 years in a row.

The competition drew a total of 219 pipe bands from around the globe — and 8,000 pipers and drummers — with more than 35,000 spectators at the international two-day event.

Besides SFU and Dowco, other Grade 1 bands vying for the title were: Scottish Power, which took fourth place; Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia; People’s Ford - Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia; Vale of Atholl; Police Scotland Fife; Glasgow Police; and Pipes and Drums of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Earlier in the week, SFU Pipe Sergeant Jack Lee won the Masters Solo Piping Competition. The Masters win is Lee’s second and earns him an invitation to the Glenfiddich piping championship this fall. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

MUSIC ON THE GRILL

Tiller’s Folly marks 20 years of musical storytelling Last show for summer series JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

Concert-goers to the final Music on the Grill show in Coquitlam will be served up 20 years worth of music from Tiller’s Folly on Saturday night.

The award-winning folk/ roots band is marking the milestone by showcasing its repertoire at a string of performances this year including at the Evergreen Cultural Centre Aug. 19 (of which the “Grill” portion is already sold out).

White Rock resident Laurence Knight (bass/vocals) said the Coquitlam crowd can expect to hear favourites as well as songs from their latest

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Tiller’s Folly is Bruce Coughlan (songwriter, vocals, guitar), Nolan Murray (fiddle, mandolin, mandocaster) and Laurence Knight (bass, vocals). They play Evergreen Cultural Centre on Aug. 19.

album Stirring Up Ghosts plus a new tune, titled The Far End of the Road. That track, which is expected to be included on their upcoming full-length CD, is a historical tune composed

by Coquitlam-born Bruce Coughlan (vocals/guitar) about the gold rush.

It tells the story of how miners and their families sold everything to seek fortune in California, B.C. and the Klondike — after all the good claims had gone by the mid1800s. “They were basically slave labour until they tried to get enough money to get back home again,” Knight said.

History is a subject Tiller’s Folly enjoys singing about but the band also likes to dips into environmental awareness topics close to their heart.

Recently, it teamed up with

Spirit Media to produce a music video for the Bring Lolita Home campaign in support of the Miracle March for Lolita initiatives. Lolita — or Tokitae — was the only survivor of five juvenile orcas captured in Penn Cove, Washington State, in 1970 and has lived in a tank since then.

Tiller’s Folly is also due to perform a commissioned song about the impact of Snake River dams on the salmon runs in the Columbia River system.

“Some of these dams are so cost inefficient and the southern resident orcas have been affected because of the lack of salmon,” Knight said. “It’s very sad.”

The group also hopes to cover one of Canada’s most iconic folk numbers, The Black Fly Song, written by Wade

Hemsworth in 1949 about the building of a hydro-electric dam in northern Ontario, in which the river flow was reversed.

Knight said it’ll be Tiller’s Folly third time at the Evergreen. “Coquitlam treats us very well,” he said, adding with a laugh, “and the band keeps getter better and better.

As with fine whiskey, we keep distilling the product.”

• Show tickets for Tiller’s Folly — with opening act Dawson Rutledge — are $35 by calling the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) at 604-927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Caulfield started PoMo dance biz at 12 years old Third story in a month-long series on Tri-City arts educators

evergreenculturalcentre.ca 604.927.6555

JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

On the shelves and the walls at Port Moody’s Caulfield School of Dance, student trophies and certificates are displayed prominently.

They are from the dance competitions around the Lower Mainland, a sign of success for the students and the owner-operator Cori Caulfield, who started her booming business at the age of 12 in the basement of her parents’ home in Port Moody.

Then, Caulfield had been studying dance with Dolores Kirkwood and Ellen Andrews at studios in Port Coquitlam and New Westminster when the mother of a fellow student asked Caulfield to teach her daughter privately.

After distributing brochures and spreading the word about her skills, Caulfield’s roster grew to such a size that her father gave her the boot from the family residence, where her mother was also running a daycare facility.

At 17, with the help of her iron-worker dad who advised her “the world needs artists just as much as it needs doctors,” a profession she had considered, the entrepreneurial Caulfield found a former lawnmower repair shop on St. Johns Street and stripped down the 2,000 sq. ft. space for a oneroom dance studio.

By the time she opened, in September 1988, she had 40 children under her wing.

A few years later, Caulfield moved to her Spring Street location where she stayed for 20 years and trained 80 students a year with her faculty.

Today, she caters to 300 families annually in a former

There, they learn ballet, contemporary, jazz, musical theatre, tap, acrobatics, hip hop, Chinese dance, character, pas de deux, stage and acting from nine core faculty members, including from her sister Hailley Caulfield Postle. Each June, they showcase their talents at year-end shows — which sell out quickly — at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam.

Caulfield works hard to maintain her company’s reputation, typically spending 12hours a day, six days a week, on her practice.

But hard work and dance are in her blood. Her maternal grandmother was a professional dancer, too: a “hoofer” who worked the West End of London circuit during the Second World War, performing eight shows a week including a few times with Julie Andrews (The Sound of Music).

“Dancing has always been a big part of my identity,” Caulfield said. “At nine, people asked what I did. I said, ‘I dance. I will always dance.’”

These days, though, Caulfield is somewhat more reflective than super-driven.

She takes great pride in her business and students but, with her parents ailing, she’s had to take time out this year to drive up to the Okanagan to care for them. Recently, she’s also enjoyed not having the pressure to perform as frequently as she used to.

“I think that I’m always striving to do better,” the Vancouver resident said. “That’s just a part of who I am but I like just sitting in the audience, relaxing and having someone else be on the stage now.”

“I started my business as a child,” she continued, “and I haven’t really stopped yet. I don’t know when that will be.”

Seeing her students be challenged and excel “in a nonelitist” academy is her focus.

Not all will go on to be professional dancers — like her past students Alex Wong (So You Think You Can Dance); Heather Dotto (Move: The Company); and Ben Freemantle (San Francisco Ballet) — but what they learn at her studio will translate to other areas of life, she stressed.

They know how to stay healthy, physically and mentally, which for parents means better grades at school. They also know about having to perform under the limelight and teamwork.

Caulfield is strict with her rules. “I love my students. They don’t always love me back,” she said, “and that’s OK with me.

I’m not their pal. I’m a mentor, not a friend. In the end, it all pays off for me and them.” jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Panthers poised to pounce for playoffs Port Moody’s Junior B hockey team is looking to shake mediocrity MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The new general manager of the Port Moody Panthers is daring to utter a new word in the Junior B hockey team’s dressing room: winning.

Peter Zerbinos inherits a team that hasn’t made the Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs since 2011-’12 and last spring endured the tumult of a change of ownership and management.

Zerbinos, who spent the past eight years as the director of hockey operations for the Delta Ice Hawks, is part of that change. And he’s been working hard since March to ensure the difference is more than just a new signature at the bottom of cheques.

“The bar of expectation has been raised quite a bit for this coming season,” Zerbinos said as he attended to a myriad of details in preparation for the start of the Panthers’ training camp this week.

To help his charges reach that bar, Zerbinos and new head coach Dave McLellan signed seven new local players

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody Panthers general manager Peter Zerbinos makes sure all the team’s jerseys are ready to go for training camp, which opened this week in Richmond. The Junior B team plays its first exhibition game at the Port Moody Arena on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. from midget hockey programs with a pedigree for winning.

Zerbinos hopes their hunger to continue winning rubs off on their new teammates.

“Once you’re continuously losing, you need to change that,” he said. “The new recruits are used to winning.”

Not that the Panthers’ history of five straight fifth-place finishes in their division holds much purchase for Zerbinos.

He’s wiped the slate clean.

That means everybody is going to have to compete for their place on the team and then maintain a high standard to

keep it.

“We have no attachments to anybody from last year,” Zerbinos said. “You’ve got to show what you’ve got.”

Of course rare is the hockey executive who says, “Meh, we’ll just see what happens.”

Tough talk can be tricky at the

Junior B level of hockey where young players hoping to catch an eye and an offer to take a next step up the rung share bench space with veterans who’ve aged out of the minor system but still want to stoke their competitive fires.

“It’s a matter of getting to

know the players’ needs because we’re all in this together,” Zerbinos said.

Rebuilding the Panthers off the ice is going to take some work as well, Zerbinos said.

In a community surrounded by plenty of hockey options and other recreational opportunities that means getting the players out to community events like the upcoming car-free day on St. Johns Street where members of the Panthers will be playing street hockey or visiting local schools to play a little floor hockey in the gym and talk to young kids about leadership.

“We have a lot of very mature young players who understand leadership,” Zerbinos said.

Volunteers also play a huge role in cementing the team into the community. To that end Zerbinos is hoping to expand his pool of 10 dedicated helpers who take on every duty from selling tickets to laundering uniforms.

“I can’t describe how important their role is for our hockey team,” Zerbinos said.

Mix all those elements together, and Zerbinos is confident he’s concocted a recipe for success. Finally.

“There’s a lot of good pieces,” Zerbinos said. “We’re setting some pretty lofty goals.” sports@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

COMEBACK CHAMPS

Angels rise to the top in senior baseball finals Team rebounds from early losses to win first title

The Coquitlam Angels bounced back from three straight losses to open the BC

senior baseball championship and won their first provincial title in Prince George recently.

Darren Honeysette hit an inside-the-park grand slam in the third inning to spark the Angels’ 8-7 win over the Burnaby Bulldogs in the championship game at Citizen Field.

It was a remarkable reversal for the Angels who dropped games to the Bulldogs, Prince George Greys and Kamloops Sun Devils before left-hander Shawn Schaefer was able to pitch them out of their slump and into the semi-finals with a complete-game 7-1 win over

the Greys in the quarter-finals.

Schaefer got the ball again in the last three innings of the semi-final, preserving a 12-11 win over Kamloops to set up a rematch against Burnaby, who had defeated Coquitlam in the five-game Lower Mainland championship series the week

prior to the provincials.

With Honeysette’s slam in his pocket, along with a solo home run by Jordan Varga, Schaefer was again summoned to the mound to secure the lead the Angels had built. He didn’t let his team down, and was named the tournament’s

MEC RACE SERIES

Trail run a chance to mix it up Course goes up and down Traboulay Trail MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Mountain Equipment Co-op is coming to Port Coquitlam.

Sort of.

The outdoor recreation store is holding the eighth event of its MEC Race Series on the Traboulay PoCo Trail on Saturday, Sept. 16.

Both the 5-km and 10-km runs will start at Gates Park and double back along the trail; the shorter race turns around at the Patricia Avenue foot bridge while the 10-km race route goes north to David Avenue and back.

The course offers a mix of terrain, from hard pavement to gravel and compacted dirt.

That can create challenges for runners, said Leslie Eglington Uhlenbruck, the manager of The Running Room in Port Coquitlam.

She said while pavement provides a fairly consistent, predictable surface, trails can be pocked with dips, rocks and roots that can easily cause a turned ankle or other injury.

“Always look ahead and be aware of your next step,” Eglington Uhlenbruck said.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Leslie Eglington Uhlenbruck, the manager of The Running Room store in Port Coquitlam, says proper shoes with good tread will help runners navigate the mixed terrain of the Traboulay PoCo Trail.

Proper shoes that are in good condition can go a long way to absorb some of the trail’s undulations and imperfections.

“A good shoe will be good enough to run on any surface,” Eglington Uhlenbruck said.

Being prepared will also reduce the risk of injury. That doesn’t just include putting the mileage into your legs to ensure they can go the distance but also running portions of the course to get familiar with the trail and any imperfections

in its terrain.

It can actually be good for runners to mix up the surfaces where they run, Eglington Uhlenbruck said. It gives the body a break from the hard pounding of pavement — and it’s an antidote for mental fatigue.

“It’s easy to get into a zenlike state where your brain just empties.” Eglington Uhlenbruck said.

With the event just a month away, Eglington Uhlenbruck said runners training for the

10-km should already be able to complete a 6-km run.

But the most important part of training for the run, and race day itself, is to have fun.

“Some days come easier and some don’t,” Eglington Uhlenbruck said. “Find a rhythm that’s perfect for you.”

• The MEC run series is for all runners, from children to seniors. Registration is $15, or $25 on race day. For more information, including maps of the route, go to http://events. mec.ca/node/146331.

MEDIAN SALE PRICE** Of the 274 homes sold in the Greater Vancouver board region July 31-August 6, 155 went for more than their asking price, an MLS data analysis reveals.

the Greater Vancouver Multiple Listing Service – compared with 8,515 as of the end of June and 8,168 at the end of May.

This is despite sales the same week (July 31-August 6, registered sold as of August 10) slowing considerably on week-by-week and month-by-month basis, as the warm weather kept potential buyers at bay.

This increased choice for buyers has not dampened prices, with median sale prices in all three home categories this week higher than last week, and a larger proportion of homes (56.6% versus 53%) selling for over asking price.

Sellers also continued to sit on the sidelines, with new listings coming on the market in the same week dropping below the 1,000 mark.

Looking at condos, 62% of the 175 homes to sell last week exchanged hands for more than their sticker price.

The median sale price was $595,000.

Despite the lower numbers of newly marketed homes, overall resale inventory is rising because of the even slower sales. As of August 10, there were 9,162 active home listings on

Townhouses (including half-duplexes and row homes) also saw an increased median selling price at more than $800,000.

In fact, the most expensive home to sell in the Greater Vancouver region the week of July 31-August 6 was a townhome – a luxurious waterfront Yaletown unit that sold for $3,490,000, The detached home market continued to plod along, with 56 home sales across the entire Greater Vancouver region last week, 25 of which were sold above asking price. The priciest detached house to sell that week, registered as of August 10, was a beautiful heritagestyle, 2003-built house in MacKenzie Heights on the West Side, which sold for $3,410,000.
