Gov’t gives notice over Anmore septic leak Province: ‘Village has taken no significant action’ MArio BArtel

The Tri-CiTy News

The Ministry of Environment has issued another pollution abatement order to get the ongoing leakage issues from the septic fields servicing Anmore Green Estates fixed.

But this time it’s to the Village of Anmore.

In the order, sent to the village’s mayor and council on Aug. 16, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, George Heyman, said the action is being taken because “the village has taken no significant actions to prevent or mitigate the risk of further pollution to the grounds of Eagle Mountain middle school.” see MAyOr, page 10

THE BUSINESS OF BEER

PoCo breweries battle seating limits 25 seats is not enough, says PoCo brewers Janis Cleugh

The Tri-CiTy News

In Port Moody, the number of seats for craft beer lovers along the hot destination of Brewers Row is up to 210 for each of the four breweries.

Coquitlam’s only craft brewery holds 80 guests inside and on its patio.

But in Port Coquitlam, which over the past month saw its first two breweries open their doors, the arrangement is 25 seats.

“It’s like we’ve put the welcome sign out and [the city doesn’t] want anyone to come,” said Geordie Anderson, one of three owners of Taylight Brewing Inc., the newest craft beer venture to open in the Tri-Cities.

Located across from Peace Park, in the Meridian Industrial Business Park off the Mary Hill Bypass, Taylight put out a sandwich board on the Traboulay PoCo Trail Aug. 5 to announce its opening.

“Thirsty?” the sign read, directing passersby to pop in for a cool one during the heat wave.

Co-owner and former retiree Cameron Taylor said he watched the trail as pedestrians and cyclists did a doubletake and circled around to head over. Over the course of the day, the business drew some 200 customers, he said.

The next day, as word leaked out, Taylight wrote on its social media channels: “Pssst…

Taylight Brewing is open!”

“We wanted to keep it relatively quiet because we didn’t want the same thing happen to us as with Northpaw,” Taylor told The Tri-City News during a tour of the facility at Coast Meridian Road and Kebet Way. For Northpaw Brew Co., located in the River’s Edge Business Park, on Sherling Place (behind Walmart in Fremont Village), its grand opening — at 10 a.m. on July 18 — saw a lineup down the street after it put the word out on social media the night before, said co-owner Courtney Brown.

To handle the volume, its operators had to call in spouses to pour and sell the suds. They ran out of growlers and were forced to shoot over to Brewers Row to scoop up some of their jugs. And, despite the scorch-

“I told this guy, ‘It’s 35 degrees out. What do you need

that for?’ But they all wanted a piece of it,” Brown said.

Still, service was slow because of the seating capacity restrictions.

Two years ago, city council capped the number of lounge seats in its new liquor zoning bylaw at 25. The reason? It wanted to prevent competition

with established PoCo pubs.

Council called the seat cap a “happy medium,” given it was the first time it had dealt with microbrews.

But councillors quickly got backlash.

Immediately after the policy passed, a PoCo businessman rose during question period to criticize council for setting the bar too low, saying 25 seats would be difficult to sustain a multimillion-dollar enterprise and suggested that between 35 and 40 seats would be a better start.

“Opening a craft brewery is not opening a flower shop or book stores or coffee shops,” Barry Wright told council after its vote in June 2016. “There’s a lot of significant up-front capital and, of course, to get that capital repaid, we all need to be able to have revenue coming in.”

A request for comment from Mayor Greg Moore wasn’t returned but Coun. Brad West, who now chairs the city’s smart growth committee and is running for mayor in the Oct. 20 election, said he doesn’t agree with the seat restriction.

“I felt like it was too small,” he said. “It’s not economically feasible or practical. It’s really limiting and [Taylight and Northpaw] have said it’s very difficult.”

West hopes council will revisit the policy soon to increase the occupancy.

Both Taylight, which has a 4,800-sq. ft. facility, and Northpaw, at 3,700 sq. ft., are ready.

The owners say they built their operations with room to expand, believing city council will eventually soften its stance to allow for more seating.

“We could quickly add more tables and have 60 to 70 seats inside and on the patio,” said Brown, with Taylor echoing the estimate for Taylight.

For all the seating problems, Taylor and Brown praised PoCo city staff for helping them navigate their rezoning applications and permits. Brown said Northpaw also had to unexpectedly sink more money into its infrastructure early this year to comply with upcoming seismic reinforcement regulations under the provincial liquor control board.

“We believe we’ve done our due diligence,” Taylor said.

“We get that PoCo was one of the last cities in the Lower Mainland to allow microbreweries but, contrary to what council believes, we’re actually not in competition with the pubs and restaurants. They have their own markets and we have ours.” jcleugh@tricitynews.com

PITT RIVER INCIDENT

Alcohol suspected in drowning death continued from front page

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said a man was separated from the rest of the party by the current and quickly got in trouble.

McLaughlin added that an exhaustive search in the water and on shore, including the use of a helicopter, failed to find him. The search was called off, but the investigation will stay open until the body is found.

Alcohol is suspected to be a factor, but nothing points to it being foul play, said McLaughlin.

While RCMP would not identify the victim, a GoFundMe page has been set up for the family of Jamie Hillier.

The page (gofundme.com/

finding-jamie-hillier) describes the incident as “a brief dip into the river became a lifethreatening fight against JAMIE HILLIER the current where, Jamie was pulled away from his boat and was last witnessed struggling against the water, while his friends and wife attempted to reach him.”

The page said his family and friends are still trying to locate Hillier to bring closure and the fund will be used to support the family, the recovery costs and “other indeterminate incidentals.” According to the website,

more than $10,000 of a goal of $25,000 had been raised from 60 donations.

McLaughlin said the incident shows how powerful the current is in the Pitt and Fraser rivers. The current, he said, looks turbulent as it is on the surface, but it is even stronger below it.

“It is absolutely not to be taken lightly,” said McLaughlin.

“It is a deep and fast-moving river at that point.

“It is not advisable to swim in the river unless you are a professional under supervision.

Certainly at 1:30 in the morning with alcohol involved, it is inadvisable.

“It’s called the Mighty Fraser for a reason and that portion of Pitt River is not to be trifled with.”

COQUITLAM RCMP

Suspects charged in PoCo home invasion Two suspects have been charged and are in custody after an alleged home invasion last Thursday in the 4000-block of Liverpool Street in Port Coquitlam.

But Coquitlam RCMP hope further investigation — and information from the public — could lead to more charges.

The accused are Jerome Jerald Buckner, a 33-year-old man from Maple Ridge, who faces charges of forcible confinement, break and enter, and assault and Robert Callender,

a 36-year-old Surrey man, who has also been charged with forcible confinement, break and enter, and assault.

Police traced the suspects from PoCo to a house in the 10300-block of Slatford Place, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam RCMP said. The house was then surrounded and over the next 24 hours 11 people were arrested with no injuries to suspects or police.

One of the two victims of the alleged home invasion is, however, recovering from minor

injuries.

The investigation is not over and more charges are possible, but nine of the eleven people who were arrested over the weekend have currently been released with no charges.

The motive for this crime is still under investigation.

If you saw anything suspicious or know something that might be relevant to this file, please call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency number at 604-945-1550 and ask for the robbery section.

LONG TABLE

Dinner will raise money for market Pesto pasta, Thai curry is on the menu next week Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

As many as 200 guests will be dining on red Thai curry braised beef short ribs, mushroom pesto pasta and zucchini steak with summer succotash in an as yet secret location all to support a program that teaches kids about where their food comes from.

A few tickets might still be available at the Coquitlam Farmers Market Long Table Dinner planned for this Wednesday, Aug. 29, to raise funds for the Power of Produce Club.

“These are two good programs to engage with the community and get all sectors of the population involved,” said Tabitha McLaughlin, executive director of the Coquitlam Farmers Market, who said she is pleased with the success of both the Long Table Dinner,

now in its third year, and the children’s POP program.

More than 200 children ages five to 12 have already participated in the program that takes place during the Coquitlam Farmers Market every Sunday.

Thanks to funds raised at the Long Table Dinner, children get to learn about produce, try new fruits and vegetables, meet local farmers, do crafts and projects that teach them about growing food, pollination and other aspects of the food system.

They also get a $3 token to spend at the market.

“If you can help kids now make healthy food choices, the hope is they will be more conscientious shoppers,” McLaughlin said.

POP continues each Sunday until the end of the Coquitlam Farmers Market season in October, but the hope is there will be enough funds raised at the dinner to possibly extend it into the winter market that takes place at the Port Moody recreation centre.

Union endorses seven in school board vote Diane StranDberg

WOODS SeekS TRUSTee ROLe

Tri-CiTy News

The union representing school support workers plans to wade into the upcoming election for school trustees, endorsing some candidates and not others, and raising issues such as trips to China and trustee pay, The Tri-City News has learned.

This week CUPE 561 released a list of candidates for school board that will be endorsed during the upcoming election campaign and only two incumbents are getting union backing.

Dave Ginter, 561 president, said his union will be supporting Port Moody candidates and incumbents Lisa Park and Keith Watkins because they only went to China once, voted against union pension cuts and sought motions for more daycare in schools.

“Those are important issues,” Ginter told The Tri-City News.

He also said that Coquitlam incumbents Carol Cahoon, Barb Hobson, Chuck Dennison and Port Coquitlam

A former District Parent Advisory Council president is running for school trustee in Coquitlam.

Craig Woods has announced his candidacy, citing his efforts to bring parent voice to school district issues and efforts to increase outreach to parents as some of his accomplishments during five years as DPAC president.

Woods was also involved in his local school PACs, helping to introduce an after school program at Walton and helping to establish a Mandarin bilingual program parent advisory group at Scoot Creek, among other things.

His platform seeks resources to support student mental health in schools, more board accountability, including fiscal responsibility, and more parent input through surveys and other methods.

Woods is also a Coquitlam Metro Ford soccer coach and has been a Coquitlam Toastmasters club president.

candidate Michael Thomas did not seek the union’s endorsement.

Supported candidates for the Oct. 20 election are Shari O’Neill, Craig Woods and Jennifer Blatherwick in Coquitlam, and Bruce Richardson and Christine Pollock in Port Coquitlam.

Ginter said he is also concerned about trustee pay, which is the highest in the province.

Trustee pay was an issue in the 2014 election, but no changes were made to the process in which pay is automatically increased in January based on the average pay of Tri-City councillors.

After a pay increase in 2016, trustees make $42,535 as a base rate (10% more for chair and 5% more for vice-chair), according to the most recent financial information. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

ward to run in PoMo A photographer is the latest to announce his run for a council seat in Port Moody in October’s municipal elections.

Stirling Ward, who’s run his own photographic illustration business for more than 35 years and was the official photographer of Expo ’86, said in a press release he’s “committed to making Port Moody an even more vibrant and healthy community.”

Ward is also a former recipient of a civic award for his contribution to the arts in Port Moody and he’s a director for the Port Moody

Foundation.

THOMAS RUNS AGAIN

An incumbent Port Coquitlam school trustee is throwing his hat in the ring for a second term on the board of education for School District 43.

Michael Thomas has announced his candidacy for re-election. Among the accomplishments Thomas cites is his leadership role as board vice-chair and BC Public School Employers Association representative.

Thomas is the father of three and is a technology business owner, accord-

ing to his website www.

ThomasFromPoco.ca “I am proud of our continuing success in student achievement levels, moving a number of seismic safety projects forward (including Minnekhada middle and Irvine elementary), and in repairing our district’s once desperate financial situation.

By bringing stability to our district we’ve been able to support all students, especially our most vulnerable and to create new learning opportunities; giving students the cutting‐edge tools and methods they need to prosper in the 21st century.”

comfortable with this.”

But the minister’s order does contain a way out for the municipality. If Anmore can reach an agreement with the GVS&DD by Oct. 15 that would allow Anmore Green Estates to hook into Port Moody’s sewer system, it can be rescinded.

McEwen said his staff will work diligently to meet that deadline.

“We still want some questions answered,” he said. “We have to make sure every stone is uncovered.”

Meanwhile, with the school year less than two weeks away, the ministry has confirmed it is “considering all options” to minimize the risk of further sewage leaks onto school property, including how Anmore Green can use its two septic fields.

PHEASANT ST

A hillside field adjacent to the school has been cordoned off by heavy blue steel fencing since Dec. 23, 2017, after high levels of fecal coliform and e coli bacteria were detected at several sites along the base of the hill. The field forms part of the septic system, which collects waste from the 51unit strata complex above the school.

The erection of that fencing was in response to an initial pollution abatement order issued last November to Anmore Green Estates, which obligated the strata to mitigate risks to public health from the contamination, while it worked out a solution to the leaks.

Subsequent orders required the strata to submit an engineering report for possible solutions and then a peerreviewed report confirming the previous report’s assertion the septic fields could not be repaired to prevent further leaks.

Both reports recommended Anmore Green be connected to a hook up for Port Moody’s municipal sewer system, just 60 metres away.

But Heyman said discussions with the village to help make that happen have gone nowhere despite Anmore Green’s commitment to cover the $200,000 cost for the connection, plus all associated membership fees to the Greater Vancouver Sewarage and Discharge District (GVS&DD) that administers the sewer systems throughout Metro Vancouver.

“This raises significant concerns with the village’s capacity and willingness to deal with the risks associated with pollution from liquid waste in and around Anmore,” Heyman said.

The latest order requires the village to submit a waste management plan for all of Anmore’s liquid municipal waste by Nov. 30.

Anmore’s mayor, John

McEwen, said while the order will be easy enough to fulfill, it amounts to a provincial challenge to the village’s desire to remain apart from the regional sewer network. All of the village’s homes are on septic systems.

“The ministry is forcing our hand,” McEwen said, adding most of the Anmore’s 2,500 residents have no interest in bearing the cost of installing and maintaining a municipal sewer system.

McEwen said the installation of a sewer system could pave the way for more development, something he said residents of the semi-rural community next to Port Moody are loathe to welcome.

“This would be opening up Pandora’s box,” McEwen said.

FRASER INSTITUTE REPORT

Study: PoCo sees lowest spending growth Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam’s financial belt-tightening is an example neighbouring municipalities should look to according to the lead author of a Fraser Institute study released Thursday.

Although all 17 Metro Vancouver municipalities in the study increased their perperson spending after inflation between 2007 and 2016, PoCo had the lowest growth in its spending at 3.3%. The regional average was 21.3%. The city spent $1,235 per person in 2016 to put it 14th overall, which is a drop of six spots since 2007.

Port Moody was eighth highest, the same position as it was in 2007, at $1,536 per person.

Coquitlam retained its 13th place ranking from 2007 at $1,284.

Port Coquitlam was also one of two local governments that collected less in taxes and fees after inflation and population growth is taken into account than it did in 2007 at –6.3%.

Langley City was –8%, while all the rest, except for two, had a percentage increase in the double digits.

“That was pretty unique in the region,” said Fraser Institute senior planning analyst Josef Filipowicz in an interview with The Tri-City News. “It was quite interesting to note [PoCo] has found a way to restrain its

spending. And the same can be said on the revenue side.”

“Residents from Port Coquitlam and from neighbouring municipalities might be wondering about why, and what their city hall is doing for them.”

Outgoing PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said it’s nice to have a third-party review recognize what the city has accomplished. Moore, who became mayor in 2008, said the city has redone its budget processing with deep dives into how to be more effective and efficient in delivering services.

$2,583 $2,225 $1,944 $1,823 $1,748 $1,691 $1,609 $1,536 $1,514 $1,508 $1,442 $1,309 $1,284 $1,235 $1,231 $1,139 $1,057 $1,549

Port Coquitlam relies on business property tax for 41.8% of its general tax revenue, which is seventh highest.

Coquitlam is 35.4% (11th) and Port Moody is 32.2% (12th).

Moore said PoCo has been the beneficiary of industrial growth in the Dominion Triangle and along Kingsway Avenue.

“We have over 1.6 million sq. ft. of industrial land right now, which is the largest industrial growth that we’ve seen in our memory,” said Moore.

General taxation, such as property tax, makes up 62.6% of Port Moody’s revenue, the

MAYOR MIKE CLAY

highest proportion in Metro Vancouver. In 2016, Port Moody collected $1,112 per person in general tax, the fourth highest in Metro Vancouver. Coquitlam was ninth at $1,045 and Port Coquitlam was 11th at $993.

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said there were no surprises for his city, noting the study shows its spending has gone up about 2% a year.

PoMo’s spending being higher than PoCo and Coquitlam can in large part be attributed to having its own police force, said Clay. The four highest spenders per resident — West Vancouver, New Westminster, Vancouver and Delta — all have their own police force.

“We’re usually the lowest of policing costs of [the cities] with their own police,” said Clay.

Contracting the RCMP instead of having its own force is a conversation that always comes

up, he added, but “we think we get good value for that service.

Residents like the personal level of service, we have one of the lowest crime rates and one of the highest clearance rates in solving crimes in the region.”

Clay said Port Moody would be more open to the concept of a regional police force than going with the RCMP. According to the study, Port Moody collected the lowest amount of development fees per new resident at $1,596. The highest was West Vancouver at $106,104, while Port Coquitlam was third ($25,975) and Coquitlam 12th at $12,226.

Clay said that’s because most of Port Moody’s large developments came before 2007. He expects an injection of development fees in the future with Onni completing the final phase of Suter Brook and the future mixed-use project slated

for the land currently occupied by the Flavelle sawmill.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart didn’t find anything surprising in the study.

“Much of it we’ve known,” said Stewart. “We’ve been really tight with budgets in the last eight years and not withstanding senior governments that keep downloading costs onto municipalities, we’ve been able to keep our average tax increase this year to 2.06%, which again is below average. “[The study] can provide some information, but there are some grains of salt there…

A typical resident isn’t going to get a complete picture of the issues from reading this.”

The report from the conservative think tank comes just eight weeks prior to municipal elections on Oct 20.

“It’s a long-term study, but certainly we knew [releasing the study now] would help our report reach more people if they were in a state of mind to understand their municipality’s finances compared to others,” said Filipowicz.

Not included in the study were Anmore, Belcarra, Bowen Island and Tsawwassen First Nation. The report noted since they have populations under 5,000 there are different financial arrangements with the province including not being required to offer police services.

Sewage standoff

a

nmore can no longer ignore the problems at anmore Green.

True, the estate’s leaky septic system is the responsibility of the homeowners, but they are willing to pay to hook up to Metro vancouver’s sewer system.

What is the hold up? Why are Eagle Mountain students being held hostage in this stand off? anmore is worried that it might be forced to hook up, too, but the village has been told that this doesn’t have to be the case, and with the province now involved, surely this can be settled. anmore has steadfastly maintained its independence from Metro vancouver’s sewage system, arguing its residents prefer to maintain their own septic systems rather than fork out for the cost of joining the regional system.

Let them keep their own waste. but please, anmore, it’s time to sign off on the deal to allow anmore Green residents to do the right thing and hook up to regional sewer.

THE MEDIA

Everyone has a stake in defending freedom of the press

I

t seems difficult some days to get what are typically referred to as “the media” to agree on whether the sun rose from the east or the west, so different are our perspectives. upon one point, though, there is large-scale agreement with only minor dissent: u.S. President donald Trump poses the largest democratic threat in memory to the craft of journalism’s efforts to perform its role.

Journalism, most days, is less of a KIRK LAPOINTE job than a service. It houses less of an agenda than its detractors theorize; our work is more driven by a determination and an objective of greater transparency and insight.

The media’s ambitions are to represent the public as surrogates, as curious premium-seat spectators of power, and as voices for those who have not the privilege of seeking answers.

Thus, as we have seen frighteningly in recent times in several countries, media pose a risk to ideologues and demagogues alike, for they call their babies ugly at inopportune moments and pose discomfort at uncomfortable times. We are not there to get along and coddle but to build communities by watching and asking when DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

TC

there is an abiding reason, and people on the right, left and in between have understood this principle of open society for centuries. but Trump hasn’t.

Presidents before him have gulped, sighed, sworn and taken the heat under the sweltering lights of the cameras. but Trump is a different species; he has doubled down on fabrication, sown tribalist fury and dared call media — the very representatives of those who elect — as an “enemy of the people,” as purveyors of “fake news,” a term he tosses out to describe whatever he finds disagreeable.

That there are americans who believe this is, I suppose, a responsibility of everyone: not only the officials who manipulate, not just the public that does not take time to examine, but the media themselves for not making their case as essential ingredients in the mix.

Last Thursday, hundreds of news organizations did what we are doing: raise their concerns that Trump’s bluster is a threat to a free press, is a threat to all politics and quadrants of life, to the cornerstones of civil society, and not least of which to the physical wellbeing of the practitioners.

In such hostile and condoning circumstance, it is risking lives.

You, as our readers, have a choice. You can determine that what we do will ride out the anti-intellectual appeasement to the illinformed for a stretch of time that will ultimately pass in the night and be riddled with ridicule in retrospect. You can take lightly the

tweets, the podium fulmination, the daring of the crowds to jeer and vilify those there to chronicle the spectacle of the speeches, and the outrage of the rhetoric. or you can defend us, as part of defending yourselves, from an onslaught of unprecedented disinformation, guileless lies, and coarse divisiveness that will splay the delicate fabric of society that politics ought to strengthen.

It is not in media’s hands. It is in yours.

My hope is that responsible journalism will find a more valuable, appreciated place in your midst, that you will recognize that what we attempt to provide is of value that you do not wish to suffer or lose.

What I also hope is that bringing wider attention to this matter will help those among us who have served in good faith — particularly those below the border — in averting further abuse and intimidation.

History has many examples of this period of media-baiting as the beginning of the end of what we hold dear. and if it can happen in america, it will surely continue to happen elsewhere.

Today, well-meaning people have to stand united to end the violent, rights-restricting episodes out of conscience for the wider goals of discourse and accountability. There is little other choice.

Press freedom is your freedom, too.

AIr QuALITY ISSuES

More needs to be done to control B.C. wildfires The Editor, I am extremely disappointed with the government of B.C. with respect to how they have been handling the fires in the province and felt the urge to speak up to express my dissatisfaction.

I came to Canada from Bogota, Colombia, and I know what it is like to live in a city that has a lot of pollution, but I have never in my life seen such bad air quality as what I have experienced in the last few days. I am seriously surprised to see that there are currently over 500 active fires in the province. Whoever has let the situation get this far has failed and we are now all suffering because of it.

I can’t stop thinking about the consequences that this will have on my two-year-old boy and our new baby that is on the way. Actually, Francisco, my baby boy, was already exposed to quite a bit of smoke last year as well, under the same kind of

circumstances.

I am very surprised that with the modern resource allocation and optimization techniques available, better decisions are not being made. I can’t believe there aren’t better optimization frameworks that could help to determine what fires should be priority, what fires to control first and thus prevent fire situations getting this bad.

I can’t stress enough the urgency that the province should have to consider changing the policies and guidelines that have been used so far to control wildfires. It’s been two consecutive years with very negative results. Clearly, they have not worked. I encourage the province to reconsider the resources that have been allocated for wildfire control and to realize that letting the air quality get so low shouldn’t be allowed.

COPS SEEK ACCIDENT WITNESSES

Coquitlam RCMP is asking for the community’s help in identifying the driver of a white Nissan Murano who could be an important witness to a fatal crash involving a motorcycle.

The crash happened just after 5 p.m. on Aug. 1 at the intersection of Como Lake Avenue and Porter Street in Coquitlam.

A 54-year-old motorcyclist died when he collided with a grey SUV that was turning left from eastbound Como Lake Avenue to northbound on Porter Street.

At the moment the collision happened, a Nissan Murano was turning left from westbound Como Lake Avenue to southbound on Porter Street.

Police said the driver likely saw the accident and could provide important details.

“This person is not suspected of any wrong-doing whatsoever,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. “As police we want to get the best information that we can.”

The Murano can be described as having: • a white body with black, five-spoke wheels; • a sunroof; • after-market running boards; • and a sticker or decal in the passenger-side rear window.

Investigators have also determined that the Murano is a 2003 to 2007 model.

A video of the vehicle can be seen at www.tricitynews.com.

Anybody who was in the Nissan Murano, or anyone who saw the collision and has not yet spoken to police, is asked to call a dedicated Coquitlam RCMP tip line at 604-552-7370.

A few StrAtegieS to improve teen driver SAfety

L

drinking or using drugs while behind the wheel.

• Stick to daytime driving: Driving at night can make it much more difficult for drivers to see their surroundings and recognize potential hazards. Within the first few months of earning their licenses, teenagers should drive only during the daytime.

earning to drive and receiving a driver’s license makes for some exciting times for young drivers. Those first moments of freedom on the road open up many new possibilities for teenagers accustomed to relying on their parents to get them around town.

Although being a new driver is exciting, it also carries with it very real risk. The prefrontal cortex, which contains the neural mechanisms of self-control, is one of the last parts of the brain to mature. As a result, teenagers are prone to taking risks, behaving impulsively and seeking sensation.

These traits can be dangerous behind the wheel of a car.

Preventing teenage driving accidents requires some measure of dedication, awareness and education.

• Improve driving skills: A driver’s license does not mean drivers have learned all there is to know about driving. In fact, newly licensed drivers still have a lot to learn.

Experience only comes with time and practice, and every day presents teen drivers with a new opportunity to expand their skills.

• Watch the speed limit: Speeding makes it more difficult to control a vehicle. Obey the speed limit and recognize speed limits are suggestions during ideal driving conditions. When driving in inclement weather, reduce speed, even if that means driving below the speed limit.

• Reduce distractions: When driving, reduce distractions inside of the car. This includes eating or talking on the phone while driving. It also means fiddling with the radio or checking social media. Texting should also be prohibited. Texting while driving creates conditions similar to

family + PARENTING

CALM THE CHAOS ON BUSY SCHOOL MORNINGS M ornings can test the patience and stamina of busy families as adults and children hurry to get out the door on time.

Starting off the morning already stressed can lead to feeling tense throughout the rest of the day.

There is no magic formula to make mornings less hectic, but the following are some ways families can streamline their morning routines.

• Make use of the night before: Morning madness may come about due to lack of preparation the previous night. The more that can be done the night before, the less there will be to do on weekday mornings.

Encourage children to lay out clothes for the next day and take a shower or bath that evening. Make lunches the night before a school day, and gather all supplies from homework stations, restocking backpacks and gym bags so everything is ready to go come the morning.

• Get to bed earlier: Sleep

for kids: Children who are reluctant to head to school may need extra motivation to get out the door. Offer small rewards to kids when they get ready on their own or finish breakfast in a certain amount of time. Rewards can include a treat like choosing a favourite show to watch after school or

a special outing on the weekend.

• Follow a schedule: Make mornings the same each day so everyone knows what to expect. Uniformity can streamline tasks and ensure everyone knows what’s expected of them.

• Stay organized: Racing

around trying to find keys or jackets can be stressful. Make it a point to return items to their proper places so that everyone knows where to look for the items they need.

School mornings can be challenging, but with some ingenuity and forethought, the stress can be tamed.

METRO CREATIVE

School mornings tend to be calm when certain tasks are completed the night before, everyone is well-rested and routines are adhered to. experts say that if you need to rely on an alarm clock to get up in the morning, you may not be getting enough sleep. The National Sleep Foundation says schoolaged children should get between nine and 11 hours of sleep a night. Teenagers

require between eight and 10 hours of sleep per night, while adults need between seven and nine hours. A good night’s rest can reduce morning crankiness and get everyone moving more efficiently.

BEEKEEPING WORKSHOP

Beekeeping creates a buzz for hobbyists Mario Bartel

tification from the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and the University of British Columbia, said it’s important we heed the bees’ lessons.

“They can do so much stuff, it’s phenomenal,” he said.

“But there’s so many things going against the bees right now.”

And that’s where beekeepers can help. By providing a safe, healthy habitat and monitoring their bees for signs of disease or parasites, they ensure a robust population of pollinators that will literally help plants bear fruit.

Aarstad said keeping bees in his backyard has sparked numerous conversations with friends and neighbours.

“There is more interest,” he said. “People are understanding we have to make changes to help these very important creatures.”

And the bees are only too happy to reciprocate with a constant flow of honey that can be used for everything from sweetening toast to soothing a sore throat to even alleviating allergies. It’s not a bad deal, Aarstad said.

“It’s just fun. I get to play with bugs.”

• For more information about Martin Dale’s free beekeeping workshop that is open to all ages, go to www.mossomcreek.org/salmon-sundayspeaker-series.

The Tri-CiTy News

Five years ago Ron Aarstad didn’t notice many bees in his Coquitlam neighbourhood. Now, there’s a buzz and his fridge is overflowing with fruits and vegetables brought to him by neighbours grateful for the contribution his two hives have made to their bountiful gardens.

Aarstad, 56, said he was aware of the plight of bees around the world as they struggle to survive against pesticides, disease and mites.

He flirted with the idea of raising some himself for years to try to help in his own small way. But it was only after a friend signed them up for beekeeping school in Tsawwassen his curiosity took root.

That was four years ago and the four-foot tube of about 8,000 bees and a queen bee Aarstad ordered from New Zealand to get started on his new hobby has increased to two hives that are home to tens of thousands of buzzing bees flitting back and forth throughout the neighbourhood, pollinating plants and flowers as far as five kilometres away.

The hives are tucked away in a gravelled corner of the yard behind Aarstad’s home near Como Lake Avenue and save for the occasional buzz

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam beekeeper Ron Aarstad said bees live in a violent world with no tolerance for weakness, especially from their queen. If she has a torn wing or can’t lay enough eggs, the hive will often turn on her and kill her to make way for a better, healthier queen. of excitement when an interloper disturbs the wooden structures, it’s hard to notice they’re even there.

But the bright blossoms all around are evidence of their diligence and hard work. As are the 160 or so jars of honey Aarstad’s neighbours will line up for at his front door when word gets out he’s harvesting his hives.

Aarstad said as far as hobbies go, beekeeping can be pretty low-maintenance. After

an initial investment of $500 to $1,000 to acquire the bees, hives, a protective beekeeping suit and a smoker that is used to calm the bees when accessing the hives, bees are pretty self-sustaining. He said the busiest time is the fall, when he prepares the bees for winter by setting up a feeder for them to fatten up on a mixture of sugar and water, and wraps the hives in building paper to keep cold wind out. In the spring he also has to split the

hive and try to establish a new queen to prevent his bees from swarming.

But other than that, Aarstad said, his bees require just a low level of ongoing vigilance to ensure they’re healthy, their combs are orderly and predators like wasps or skunks can’t get into the hives.

Mostly, he just watches and learns.

“They’re very intelligent,” Aarstad said. “They have strict rules in the hive. Things hap-

pen in order, and they happen for a reason. Everybody does what they’re supposed to do.”

Martin Dale, a beekeeper for more than four decades, said the teachings of bees are never-ending. So much so, he acknowledges he can only scratch the surface at an introductory workshop he’ll be giving at the Mossom Creek fish hatchery on Sunday, Aug. 26, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

ORNITHOLOGICAL CONGRESS

bird watchers are busy despite smoky haze Seeing birds out in the wild can ‘open your mind’ Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Organizers of the 27th annual Ornithological Congress and the inaugural Vancouver International Bird Festival are flying high with the success of the event despite hazy smoke that has grounded some of the tours.

Rob Butler, a member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists in Coquitlam who established the Pacific WildLife Foundation at Port Moody’s Reed Point Marina, spent three years organizing the bird festival while his colleague Bob Elner brought the congress to the city.

Their efforts have brought more than 1,500 ornithologists to the region and introduced the world of birding to thousands of locals at opening ceremonies, speaking events, tours, art installations with more to come this weekend.

“We put on such a great show for them, they’re just over the moon about this,” said Butler, who is also an SFU professor emeritus in the department of biological sciences, and with Mossom Creek Hatchery founder Rod McVicar is counting all the birds in the Salish Sea (Puget Sound, the Juan de Fuca Strait or the Strait of Georgia) for a B.C. bird atlas.

Among the highlights of the bird festival so far was a parade at Jack Poole Plaza where stiltwalkers dressed in fanciful bird costumes led a procession, accompanied by First Nations drummers and dancers.

As well, new additions to the Birds of Canada stamp collection were revealed.

deboville slough has a rich diversity of plant and animal life, including birds.

Top 3 bird waTching siTes in Tri-ciTies Curious about local bird life? Grab a pair of binoculars and head down to these local parks to see a wide variety of birds.

• Deboville Slough: At the end of Victoria Drive in Coquitlam, this wetland is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds. Among the most visible are wood duck, American goldfinch, great blue heron and common yellowthroat.

• Colony Farm Regional Park: Located along both sides of the Coquitlam River with parking off Colony Farm Road, this regional park is host to a variety of birds that have been identified, from Cooper’s Hawk to the Common Snipe.

• Shoreline Park: This park that winds along the shore of Port Moody inlet is home to approximately 120 species of birds. Especially productive times are the winter months when thousands of shorebirds and waterfowl are present in the area.

However, Butler said there’s more to come.

Tomorrow (Saturday) there will be a Bird Expo at the Vancouver Convention Centre, a Children’s Bird Festival, photo displays and speakers as well as the presentation of a large mural, Silent Skies, made up of paintings of endangered birds by renowned artists.

Butler said he believes people need to be closer to nature — for their physical and mental health — and birding is one way to get people into parks and natural spaces.

“Once you start going out and trying to see some birds it opens your mind, you start to hear the sounds, you start spotting some birds, you see the world differently, and pretty soon you’re into it.”

THE ENVIRONMENT

Hemp, the super crop, has numerous uses LIVING GREEN

MELISSA CHAUN

D

id you know that hemp is not just a wonderfully nutritious food that also makes fabulous fabric, but that we can build with it, too? In fact, there are hundreds of uses of industrial hemp dating as far back as 1200 BC, with Egyptian papermaking. There are, therefore, countless ways we can support Canadian farmers while saving the planet.

The 2014 documentary Bringing it Home: Industrial Hemp and a Greener Future tells a remarkable story. When mixed with hydrated lime, industrial hemp is the world’s healthiest building material.

Walls of hempcrete and hemp fibre insulation are breathable.

Additionally, they not only absorb toxins, pollutants and carbon from the atmosphere but also regulate the inside temperature and humidity of a building — air conditioning is not required. Lime prevents hempcrete from ever growing mould or mildew, which can never be said of standard insulation and drywall, both of which contain toxic materials. Hempcrete is also fireresistant, pest-resistant and non-toxic.

England’s 42-home Triangle Project, designed by awardwinning architect Glenn Howells, boasts how safe and quiet their hempcrete construction site is. No masks and heavy machinery are needed.

It essentially comprises “buckets, blokes and [wheel] barrows.” Those in the hemp construction industry continue to tout that they cannot find another material that matches industrial hemp.

Buildings account for a total

51% of all global carbon emissions (9% construction, 42% energy use). Combining hemp with lime actually produces a carbon-negative — not just -neutral — product. More carbon is absorbed during crop growth and building use than released during hempcrete production.

In 2006, the U.K.’s Adnams Brewery was the first to use lime-hemp block on an industrial scale and it never needs to artificially heat or cool its facility. The British department store chain Marks & Spencer’s also built its Cheshire department store using hemp panels, saving some 400 to 500 tons of carbon in wall construction.

There’s also the very real problem with sick building syndrome. Plastic sheeting and sealants prevent our modern buildings from breathing. Toxins used in insulation, drywall, carpet and paint are therefore trapped, exposing our air and skin to chemicals such as formaldehyde, methylene and butoxyethanol. Many suffer from headaches, asthma, fatigue and eye/throat irritation without necessarily knowing the root cause.

Tony Budden, co-founder of South Africa’s Hemporium, has been surfing for years.

He notes that 20 years ago, he never saw plastic on the beaches. Did you know 50% of our global oil consumption goes towards plastics production? It’s not just about driving less.

Over the centuries, hemp has been used for a vast array of products. When it comes to textiles, a Canadian study comparing a hemp versus cotton T-shirt revealed a minimum savings of 2,000 litres of water, a cup of pesticides and agrochemicals, and less land and energy being required.

For paper products, a 1916 study by U.S. Department of Agriculture botanist Lyster Dewey showed that hemp produces four times as much paper as do trees. In addition to being a nutritious food — it

can even be used to make beer!

— hemp has been used for centuries to make rope, sails and canvas. Other uses include bedding, biofuels, insulation, and body and skincare products. In the U.K., industrial hemp is primarily used in the automotive (door panels) and animal bedding industries.

In the near future, however, the construction industry will likely consume some 75% of the U.K. hemp market.

In Canada, industrial hemp is regarded as a new alternative crop that complements prairie

crop production rotations.

It breaks the traditional crop disease cycles affecting cereals while offering enhanced cropping profits for farm businesses. Currently, the grain industry is driving the development of the hemp crop in Canada.

2018 Here’s what we can do to promote the use of hemp: • Buy it: Support our farmers who grow hemp, buying products from Hemp Oil Canada, Manitoba Harvest (hemp milk) and Hempco, as well as North American companies that use Canadian-grown hemp: Nature’s Path and Dr. Bronner’s soaps.

• Eat it: Save a fish, eat more hemp! Compared with olive oil, hemp oil has 25 times the omega-3 fatty acids and half the saturated fats. Rich in protein, hemp seed has the perfect balance of essential fatty acids of any terrestrial crop, making it an ideal fish substitute. Put it on your oatmeal, in your smoothie, in your bread and even on your ice cream.

• Wear it: Our textile footprint is our second-to-largest footprint on the planet after our “foodprint.” Versatile, breathable, washable hemp fabrics also shy away from toxic dyes. Remember, your skin is your largest organ and It absorbs everything we put on it and next to it. Wearing hemp is the best way to share the good news.

• Tell it: Encourage your elected officials and institutions to support research and development of industrial hemp. Building processing plants in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec, where industrial hemp is currently grown, doesn’t just create thousands of jobs but thousands of healthy jobs.

Some varieties simply don’t look so good, appearing somewhat hard and burnt, instead of being soft and vegetative.

Heat and water stress are the major causes of this decline.

Unfortunately, these stressedout annuals can leave your garden looking a little blah at this time of year, which may be awkward when we have so many friends and relatives visiting.

Late-flowering summer perennials, however, can give your garden some needed fresh colour, and a few very special plants do more than their share to keep the colour going.

Yellow is always an important colour to give a lift to late summer gardens and some excellent perennials immediately

come to mind. The longest and strongest flowering variety has got to be the lacy leafed coreopsis verticulata Zagreb.

It just never quits. Its cousins, the softer yellow C. Moonbeam and coreopsis grandiflora, are also non-stop flowering, more spreading varieties. All three always look good without any care or attention and defy the concept of perennials needing a lot of work.

My other favourite yellow perennial is a rudbeckia called Goldsturm. This European introduction is just out of this world. It’s hardy, relatively short (about 24 inches tall) and its large, single, yellow daisy-like flowers just keep on blooming right up until October. Goldsturm

is such an improvement over the other varieties — they’re not even in the same league.

A new shorter variety called Little Gold Star is also stealing the show. It grows only 12 to14 inches tall and produces an abundance of colour. It’s a hottie. This year’s new introduction, R. American Gold Rush, is a great performer and looks to be both shorter and more spreading.

In spite of the weather we may experience from year to year and how it impacts on our annuals, these perennials, and many more like them, are the workhorses of any garden and will add wonderful colour to a late summer garden, carrying it into fall.

Belcarra cyclists say we live in a riding mecca Belcarra cyclists say local routes rank amongst the world’s best MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Greater Vancouver area measures up to some of the best cycling cities in the world, says a new book by a pair of authors from Belcarra who’ve pedalled all around the globe, including Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, New York and Old Mumbai.

And Colleen and Ian MacDonald are sharing some of their favourite local routes in a new book, Let’s Go Biking: Easy Rides, Walks & Runs Around Vancouver.

The 84 cycling routes in the book include several in the Tri-Cities that will appeal to families, seniors as well as dedicated cyclists who prefer a slower pace.

“I wanted to share fun places to go with people who want to go,” said Colleen, 66.

The book, which hit local shelves in July, is a distillation of more than 150 bike routes the couple have compiled on their blog, letsgobiking.net.

Colleen has ridden every one. And each route that is included in the book was vetted by a team of some 50 “proof riders” who suggested tweaks and changes.

The routes range from urban greenways that take cyclists through a variety of city and suburban neighbourhoods, to flat, scenic trails to quiet country roads, and each route is categorized as easy, moderate or adventurous.

Colleen said it’s that abundance of variety and variation of scenery that makes Metro Vancouver such a mecca for cyclists, especially as urban routes are improved and linked.

She said a good day out on two wheels for her starts with meeting friends at a local coffee shop, then meandering

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Colleen MacDonald and her husband, Ian, worked together researching routes for Colleen’s new book of cycling trails around Metro Vancouver. The Belcarra cyclists said Metro Vancouver is the best urban area in the world for cycling because of the variety of riding optoins and scenery. along some of the local routes she’s documented. If they’re feeling more adventurous, the group may even hop aboard SkyTrain to access rides further afield.

Along the way they might spot herons or eagles or just note the changes to the urban landscape before stopping for a picnic lunch, coffee “and something with chocolate.”

The book fits in a map case that can be affixed to a bike’s handlebars for quick reference.

Some of the local rides fea-

tured in the book include: Belcarra and Sasamat Lake: This is an adventurous route of 26 km that traverses trails, roads and even a bit of singletrack. It rolls aournd a lake, along a fjord and skirts a swamp. Along the way you can eye eagles, spot starfish and even catch a crab.

Town Centre Park and Coquitlam River: With its busy commuter routes like the Lougheed Highway and challenging climbs up through the Chines, Ranch Park and

Westwood Plateau neighbourhoods, Coquitlam may not be considered a mecca for leisurely cycling. But roll away from the main roads and there’s plenty of easy-going riding to be found in the city’s parks and trail systems. One of the most accessible is the paved path around Town Centre Park that can be linked by a short ride up David Avenue to the forested path along the Coquitlam River for a cool pedal in the shade of towering trees.

PoCo Trail: This is one of the easiest and flattest rides in the book. But with its expansive views of Pitt Polder and the Golden Ears mountains, as well as encounters with wildlife like soaring eagles, busy beavers, deer and even the occasional bear, it’s also one of the most spectacular. The route weaves through parks and atop the system of gravel dykes that run along the Coquitlam, Pitt and Fraser rivers.

The couple’s self-published book is available at local book

stores and bike shops, as well as through their website, letsgobiking.net. Proceeds will be donated to cycling advocacy groups like HUB Cyling, Trails B.C. and the B.C. Cycling Coalition.

• Colleen MacDonald will be at Chapters book store in Coquitlam on Saturday, Aug. 25, from 3:30 to 5:30, to sign copies of her book and share cycling adventures.

JUNIOR ADANACS

Minto Cup final on hold MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

Coquitlam Express forward Riley Johnson battles a Langley Rivermen defenceman in their BC Hockey League exhibition game, Wednesday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The Express lost the game, 4-2 after trailing 3-0 at the end of the second period. Tristan Fraser and Alex DiPaolo scored Coquitlam’s goals. The two teams meet again tonight (Friday), 7 p.m., at the George Preston rec centre in Langley.

Morrey Infiniti of Burnaby Service & Parts Special Offers

The Coquitlam Adanacs lead the Minto Cup final over the Brampton Excelsiors 1-0, but whether the teams will be able to continue their best-of-five series was still unknown as of early Thursday afternoon.

The Junior A national championship was derailed when Wednesday’s second game was abruptly cancelled after officials refused to take the floor at Calgary’s Max Bell Arena.

The tournament’s convenor, Ron McQuarrie, told Sportsnet 650 radio Thursday morning the officials were upset because an appeals committee had elected to overturn a three-game suspension to the Excelsior’s star player, Jeff Teat. That suspension was a consequence of a match penalties assessed to Teat and Brampton’s coach, Dan Teat, for verbal abuse of an official in the dying seconds of Tuesday’s series opener that was won by the Adanacs, 11-9.

According to Canadian Lacrosse Association rules, the match penalties come with a mandatory minimum three-game suspension and the referee’s call can’t be appealed. But McQuarrie said

Brampton challenged the application of the rule, and while the coach’s suspension was upheld, the player was cleared to start Wednesday’s game just five minutes before the scheduled opening faceoff. That prompted the refs assigned to work the game to stay in their dressing room.

Adanacs’ coach Pat Coyle said Thursday morning he had no idea whether the series could continue.

“There’s a bit of an impasse with the refs,” he told The Tri-City News. “There’s a real potential this could get cancelled.”

Coyle said his team was on the floor, warmed up and ready to play Wednesday’s game when the plug was pulled. He said his players are trying to stay focused and they’re going through their preparation as if there will be more games to play.

“We’re focusing on what is in our control,” he said.

McQuarrie said talks are continuing to get the Minto Cup back on the rails.

“We have some things to work through,” he said. “We’re looking for short term solutions to get the Minto Cup completed.”

Coyle said he hopes those negotiations bear fruit.

“The players, the coaches, there’s so many people involved with this, and it would break a lot of guy’s hearts if this didn’t go ahead,” he said.

“This is their last opportunity at this chance.”

A post on the Minto Cup’s Twitter feed promised a decision on rescheduling Wednesday’s game would be made by 3 p.m. Mountain Time Thursday (after The TriCity News’ print deadline).

McQuarrie said he was confident the game would happen.

VON CHORUS, Adeline Adeline Von Chorus died and became at peace with lots of love and support on August 9, 2018. Adeline was born in Myrnam, Alberta on August 4, 1945. Her family moved to Lethbridge, Alberta in 1952. At age 17, she met and then married her soul mate and husband Dieter. They moved to British Columbia in 1965 and bought their only home where they raised their daughters. Addy was a dedicated mother and wife whose life focus was her family. Addy was predeceased by her husband Dieter in March 2018 and is survived and forever remembered by her sisters/best friends Hilda and Lorraine, her two daughters Nicole and Jeanne, son-in-law Randy, and her beautiful grandchildren Dallas and Logan.

Addy is also survived by many nieces and nephews who she loved with all her heart. Addy was quiet, kind, and generous. A genuine soul. She loved her life and valued simplicity - cooking/sewing for her family, long drives in the convertible with her hubby, receiving flowers from her loved ones, quiet days reading, and time with family over good meals or tea and sweeties. She embodied unconditional love and is now dancing in the heavens with her one and only.

Tea and sweets will be offered on September 8, 2018 from 2-5pm in the family home for anyone who wants to celebrate her life. Please contact her daughter Nicole at 604-828-7612 for details.
