EVERGREEN EXTENSION: ART

salmon life cycle latest evergreen art piece DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Like juvenile salmon that leave their home creeks and return as adults to spawn, people using the Evergreen Extension, set to open in December, will leave and return each day through six new rapid transit stations.

And at the Moody Centre station in Port Moody, their movements have been captured in artwork depicting the life cycle of salmon in a piece called “Coming and Going,” created by artist Soren Henrich.

The colourful six-metrediameter circle showing salmon from the egg stage to adult has been generating plenty of comment since it was installed last week, especially among local stream keepers who appreciate the symbolism and efforts by the artist to make the image as realistic as possible.

Ruth Foster said her Mossom Creek Hatchery group was given the opportunity to view the draft and was pleased when the artist added the alevin stage — between egg and fry, when the yolk sac is still visible — to the art work at their suggestion.

“Now, all stages are there and the salmon depicted are definitely wild salmon with their intact adipose fins,” Foster said in an email.

Stirling Ward, a member of Port Moody’s Evergreen Liaison Committee, said the artwork is a legacy for the city and an apt metaphor for citizens who go about their daily business each day, then, like the salmon,

New public art was installed at the Moody Centre SkyTrain station last week depicting the life cycle of the salmon. Called “Coming and Going,” the colourful work was created by artist Soren Henrich and is being lauded by members of local streamkeeper groups. return home at the end of a long journey.

“The life cycle of salmon and certainly salmon have played a major role in Port Moody’s history, and relating that to our own lives, which are very short indeed, and not unlike the salmon, is beautiful,” Ward said.

“I think the committee was

very delighted with the results, it just adds that splash of colour,” he added.

Several more pieces of art have yet to be installed at PoMo’s two stations before the Evergreen Extension opening. Among those, at the Inlet Centre station, is the “Moraine Train,” featuring large rocks left

by glaciers that were dug out when the Clarke Road tunnel was dug, and two sculptures, “Evergreen People,” on the exterior plaza and “Mother and Child on a Bike” inside the station.

At Moody Centre station — which doubles as the West Coast Express station — “The

Canoe” was installed in April.

It was carved by Centennial secondary students 15 years ago and restored by Suwa’lkh secondary students. As well, an historical image will soon be installed on one of the windows of the station.

The very first piece of public art in Port Moody associated

with the Evergreen Extension was a vinyl mural along the construction fence on Clarke Street between the Barnet Highway and Douglas Street.

That piece is titled “Evergreen Public Art Panel Project” by artist David Pacholko. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

EVERGREEN EXTENSION: ROUTES

From Tri-Cities to VCC-Clark station continued from front page

Meanwhile, the Expo Line will be split into two branches originating from Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver — one terminating at King George in Surrey, as the Expo Line now does, and a second branch that ends at Production Way-University Station.

Tri-City commuters who hop on the Evergreen Extension when it opens sometime in December can get as far as VCC-Clark station in Vancouver without having to change trains. But if they want to get to downtown Vancouver, they’ll have to transfer at the busy Commercial-Broadway station, currently undergoing a capacity upgrade, or Production Way.

THE NAME CHANGE

The name change from the Evergreen Line to the Evergreen Extension was a long time in coming, said Ian Fisher, manager of operations planning for the BC Rapid Transit Company.

Fisher said “Evergreen Line” made sense when the line was to be standalone light rail but once the decision was made in 2008 to extend SkyTrain to the Tri-Cities, the name had to be changed to reflect the new reality. He said he expects the route changes announced this week to benefit local commuters who will be able to conveniently travel from suburb to suburb.

For trips to New Westminster, Burnaby and south Vancouver, or further east to Surrey, Evergreen riders will get off at Lougheed Town Centre station and make the transfer (with a further transfer at Columbia Station for Surrey destinations).

Desmond said the change

to the routes will make the system easier to understand and handle growing capacity.

“We are focused on helping our customers make a smooth transition to the new operating pattern. By doing this well in advance of opening the Evergreen Extension, we are

giving our customers a chance to adjust and learn how the changes may affect how they travel on our system,” he told media at a press conference at Lougheed Town Centre station in Burnaby on Monday.

The changes to the Millennium Line and Expo routes come into effect Oct. 22, but people can see how their trips will change now, using TransLink’s online Trip Planner, with a date of Oct. 22 or later.

To find out how to use SkyTrain once the Evergreen Extension is up and running, commuters will have to wait until the opening date, said Ian Fisher, manager of operations planning for BC Rapid Transit Company, which runs SkyTrain.

Desmond said the changes

SUPPORT

are being implemented several weeks before the Evergreen opening to give staff time to test the system and to get customers familiar with the new routes.

“It’s in preparation for the opening of the Evergreen Extension,” Desmond told The Tri-City News, “It allows us to do the final testing in anticipation of a December opening.”

As many as 170 staff have been hired for the expansion, and testing and training are expected to take several weeks.

Desmond said couldn’t be any more specific about the opening other than to say it would meet the provincial announcement and “be open for Christmas.”

As for bus route changes, Desmond said they won’t be made public until closer to the

opening date. One change that has long been planned is elimination of the 97B line, which now runs between Coquitlam Central Station and Lougheed Town Centre. He said TransLink expects current 97B users to switch to Evergreen along with current Millennium Line riders and some West Coast Express commuters, especially on the return trip from Vancouver. Still, he acknowledged that it might take some time to get new transit riders onto the system.

In the original business case, the Evergreen Line was expected to draw 50,000 riders daily upon opening and 70,000 daily by 2021, resulting in 40,000 fewer car trips. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Big Coronation plans & concerns Highrises, townhouses among ideas for the area SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

As the Evergreen Line sits perched on the edge of its opening date, Port Moody’s Coronation Park neighbourhood, just steps away from the Inlet Centre Station, is poised to begin a lengthy redevelopment process.

An open house last Thursday evening gave residents a chance to see staff’s preferred option for Coronation’s future, one that includes a mix of townhomes, apartments and highrises that could bring a tenfold increase the area’s population.

The proposal also includes a commercial component, a oneacre park, additional access points and a pedestrian overpass to the SkyTrain station.

The tricky part, however, lies in the transition from a fully established neighbourhood of townhouses and single-family homes into a high-density, transit-oriented development with more than double the number of residents than nearby Suter Brook Village.

“This is the real challenge because there are 180 different units in there,” said James Stiver, the city’s general manager of development services. “It’s easy when there’s one developer and we come up with a phasing plan that everybody agrees on and we move forward. But when we have people who are ready for change and people who don’t want to leave, it’s really challenging.”

As staff work to refine the plan before bringing it to council later in the fall, Stiver said one of the most significant issues will be creating a longterm redevelopment plan that is sensitive to residents who want to stay in Coronation Park.

One of those is Sherry Dina, a longtime resident whose property is slated to have part of a highrise tower on it and said she feels like her family is “being forced to sell our home to developers.”

Dina suggested a better option for creating a high-density transit-oriented development without forcing people out of their homes is the Heritage Mountain Shoppers Village further up Ioco Road, and questions how phasing in future development could work in Coronation Park if there are to be no orphaned lots or city expropriation.

“We are frustrated and fed up,” Dina wrote in an email to The Tri-City News. “The city needs to read their own OCP. It states that it ‘preserves the scale and character of existing singlefamily areas.’ We did not ask to be a part of the transit-oriented development. We just want to live in our home.”

Jill McIntosh has similar concerns, describing the proposal as “expropriation by OCP.” Once the highrise towers start to go up, the single family homes become “essentially uninhabitable,” she said.

“The consultation is a farce: Would you like more park space? Well, who wouldn’t? But the sub-text is that the entire neighbourhood would have to be obliterated to get it.”

But fellow Coronation resident Dan Attridge, who has lived in a single-family home in the area for the past eight years, said staff’s proposal is “a fantastic looking plan” that fits well with the nearby SkyTrain station and surrounding area.

“This is a 30-year plan being presented by the city, it’s not something that’s going to happen overnight,” Attridge said.

“If the SkyTrain line wasn’t less than 400 m from my door and I didn’t see the potential for a development like this, I would love to stay in this area. But it’s for the greater good of the community that change has to happen here” rather than in Ioco or other parts of Port Moody.

The neighbourhood planning process got underway in the spring of 2015 after several properties began to be assembled by the real estate brokerage firm London Pacific.

Since then, there have been a visioning session, public consultation and an initial open house in May, when the different scenarios for low- to

high-density housing were presented.

The open house last week provided details on staff’s preferred option based on public feedback, OCP principles and council direction: a mix of townhomes and apartments with a maximum height of four storeys (low-rise residential, 45%); residential towers on a three-storey podium, with ground-oriented housing and a maximum height of 26 storeys (highrise residential, 22%); towers with ground-oriented retail/ commercial and a maximum height of 26 storeys (high-rise mixed use, 14%); parks and open space (4%) and roads (15%).

The towers would be situated on the outer periphery of Coronation Park along Barnet Highway, Ioco Road and Guildford Way, and it’s not yet known where the park would be located.

The proposed concept would bring Coronation Park’s population from about 500 residents currently to nearly 4,500.

Staff are welcoming feedback online until Oct. 7 on the draft land use policies, as well as options for transportation improvements, parks and more.

Stiver said the feedback will be incorporated into a report that will likely go to council later this fall for a decision on whether to proceed with OCP changes for Coronation Park. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Restrictions and pay GOT NECK parking are coming PAIN? to prep for Evergreen GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Parking changes are coming to Coquitlam’s City Centre neighbourhood ahead of the opening of the Evergreen Extension later this year.

Residential streets near Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station — including Westwood, Eastwood and Glen Drive, which currently have no restrictions — will now have one- to four-hour parking and pay parking in some cases. Pay parking will also be introduced on Lincoln and Anson avenues as well as Ponderosa Street.

Staff said they will also be monitoring to see the impact the SkyTrain has on neighbourhoods once the line is operational.

The streets south of Coquitlam Central Station, including Norman Avenue, parts of Dewdney Trunk Road and some adjoining side streets, will be assessed after the Evergreen opening to see if further parking restrictions are required.

Twelve parks have been identified for what staff is calling a “park blitz,” which a staff report said will take approximately three years to complete.

The parks chosen include Cape Horn, Crestwood, Dawes Hill, Good Neighbour, Guilby, Lower Lougheed, Meadowbrook, Oakdale, Poirier, Ranch and Shiloh.

Most of the work consists of playground improvements

and upgrades to sports courts, fencing and signage.

“These sites were selected because they require primarily ‘like-for-like’ asset replacement and straightforward updating that should require only a basic level of design work and minimal public consultation,” said a staff report.

The money for the upgrades will come from the infrastructure reserve and council will be updated on the status of the work during the budget process over the next three years. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

LASER MAY BE THE ANSWER. WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN “On day one, it was difficult to move my head all the way left and right and now I can. I could not lift my left arm above my head and now I can. THE PAIN IS GONE! If I hurt myself again, I will treat with LASER Therapy.”

Dennis Moore (63) NECK PAIN “I had chronic pain that would run the length of my left arm from my shoulder right to my fingertips.

It was painful enough that it would wake me up throughout the night, so I could not get a decent night sleep. After about 2-3 weeks of laser light therapy on my neck, the pain disappeared and I was able to get a decent night sleep.”

N.C. Age 69 NECK PAIN “The experience with laser was comfortable and felt some relief after the first few treatments. After the fourth treatment, the spasms have dismissed with little discomfort left in my lower back. Only having the one treatment on my neck, the muscles loosened and there was some relief.”

L.A. (52) HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN “Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain...I tried every possible treatment...but alas, nothing worked. One day, I came across an ad for Laser light Therapy and even though I was sceptical I tried it out of desperation...I had approximately 18 treatments and no longer suffer neck pain – it is truly a miracle!”

Patsy Bernstein (58)

SHOULDER AND NECK PAIN ...I experienced an extreme pain in my shoulder and neck.

Within a few treatments, I noticed a difference right away, and the pain had started to subside. My nights were not restless anymore and I could put the pain killers aside. ...I can now proudly say that I feel totally recovered...and simply can’t say how wonderful this treatment has turned out for me.

Richard Parkinson Neck Arthritis: I had tremendous pain in my neck. I couldn’t turn to the right. 9-10 months prior I had tried lots of physio with no great change so I was reluctant to try laser therapy. I had 12 treatments. By the 4th treatment I had more mobility and less pain. It was an amazing difference. I will continue with the exercises as they are beneficial. Such a professional team. – Margaret Elbow and Neck Arthritis: Finally I decided to start Laser Light Therapy.

First the neck, within a few treatments my neck and shoulders stopped aching. Then the left elbow, which was quite sore with moderate degeneration. The treatments improved my painful elbow. I no longer awake every few hours from pain and many nights I can sleep right through!

RLL (age 62)

BURKE MOUNTAIN

600 Burke trees will come down Hazardous trees a ‘life-and-death’ issue: councillor GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

More than 600 trees on Burke Mountain are considered hazardous and will need to be removed, according to the results of a tree risk assessment conducted by the city of Coquitlam and a consultant.

The majority of the trees are hemlocks, which tend to have a shallow root system, particularly when they are growing on slopes, making them more susceptible to blowing down in a windstorm, said a staff report.

“It is not often that something that is a life-and-death issue comes before us,” said Coun. Terry O’Neill, citing an incident last spring in Port Moody when a falling tree struck a home and killed a woman. “I believe this is a lifeand-death issue.”

On Monday, Coquitlam council voted unanimously in favour of allocating $650,000 from its extreme weather fund to pay for the tree removal, debris management and replanting in the affected areas.

Council also authorized the consultants to go on to private properties in the northeast sector to conduct the work.

There are 188 residences with property in the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA — buffer zones created to protect streams) but the

COUN. TERRY O’NEILL city has only received signed consent forms from 178 owners.

“The reality is, if there is a tree that is deemed hazardous that has a strike zone near a home, that tree is going to need to be dealt with,” said Raul Allueva, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture.

He added that staff have been in communication with residents in the area and neighbours know about the work that is being conducted.

While council unanimously supported the recommendations, several expressed concern with the number of trees that required removal.

Coun. Chris Wilson said he was disappointed that initial assessments of the SPEA when the lands were turned over to the city a decade ago showed the stands were healthy and strong.

“It is so frustrating that we have such a problem when we are supposed to put all of our trust in the qualified professionals,” he said. “To get it wrong like this, it just makes me wonder what other problems we

will have in the future.”

But Allueva defended staff and the environmental professionals that did the initial SPEA assessments. He said predicting how a stand is going to develop is difficult and that it was likely that when the areas were examined 10 years ago, the trees were stronger and more stable.

Bruce Blackwell, the principal with the consulting firm the city has tasked with assessing the tree stands, said one wind event can significantly alter an SPEA. He noted that some lessons have been learned that will be used as development moves forward on Burke Mountain.

So far, Blackwell has evaluated a third of the SPEA, finding that 218 trees that will need to be removed, while 81 others require some pruning or modifications. The consultant extrapolated its current numbers over the rest of the area to get to its finding that more than 600 trees will need to be removed and another 300 will require some modifications.

In June, prompted by a number of significant windstorms in the area, city staff initiated a tree assessment on Burke Mountain.

After council’s vote Monday, staff will now issue a tender for the removal of the trees and debris management work. The report noted that subject to weather-related delays, the job should be completed by the end of the year. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

NOTICE OF ‘Lack of affordable 2016 TAX SALE rental housing’ continued from front page

“Market rents can subsidize below-market rents. At the same time, they can help create a diverse and mixed community.”

Burpee was careful to stress, however, that he is against the privatization of the property.

Instead, he favours community land trusts, which would see the grounds remain in public hands, with parcels leased to not-for-profit housing providers. He even envisions a commercial component that he said would provide jobs and services to residents, creating a complete community.

“We have such a critical lack of affordable rental housing,” Burpee told The Tri-City News Tuesday. “If you look at the affordable housing that has been built in the last number of years — Como Lake Gardens, 3030 Gordon — the one key is that they always start with land being available at no cost.”

The concept of a community land trust is not new to Metro Vancouver. In 2014, the city of Vancouver launched the Vancouver Community Land Trust Foundation, which has entered into 99-year lease agreements with non-profit housing providers for three

But putting any kind of residential development on the Riverview grounds is an idea opposed by several members of Coquitlam council.

Mayor Richard Stewart, who has called for a new hospital along with a mental health and wellness campus on the site, said he is against having residential and commercial enterprises on the lands.

Coun. Mae Reid echoed his sentiments during Monday’s committee meeting, noting the federal government should bring back programs that encourage developers to construct purpose-built rental buildings.

Burpee acknowledges that his vision is at odds with many

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

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

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

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

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

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

Figure 1

‘Peak week,’ so keep the bears away DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

The BC Conservation Officer Service is calling this week “peak week” because it’s when the organization typically gets the most bear complaints.

Bears are out in greenbelts and Tri-City neighbourhoods looking for food to fatten up for the winter, and everyone’s home is a target if they have not secured their garbage or have left fruit on trees or bird seed that bears like to eat.

Leaving out these attractants could cost Coquitlam residents a $500 fine, according to

CRITTER CARE PHOTO

Steffanie Warriner, manager of environmental services.

“Right now, these first few weeks of September are known to be the peak for bear activity.

Bears are foraging right now for food, they are fattening up and they’re getting ready to hibernate,” she said. “This is a very critical time and we need everybody to do their part so that we’re not attracting bears into Coquitlam’s neighbourhoods.”

OUR OPINION

55+ Games are a winner T

he name of Coquitlam’s biggest local sporting event — the 55+ BC Games — is a bit of a mouthful but that’s not a reason to ignore this event taking place between today through Saturday.

In fact, the 3,200 men and women of a mature age who are taking part deserve our utmost respect and our support.

And the 1,200 volunteers from across the province who are helping out deserve a pat on the back, too. Here’s why: These folks are living proof that healthy lifestyles and friendly competition don’t have to stop even though muscles aren’t as taught as they once were, hair is grey, thinning or gone, and the eyes need corrective lenses of one sort or another.

Who says a younger athlete has more value than an older, experienced athlete who can still run the race?

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Granted, some of the events are not those you might see in the Olympics: Bridge and cribbage, for instance, are some of the more stationery events but still important for brain fitness — and fun, too.

Other events are more active and you can bet we will see some records set in cycling, dragon boat racing, golf, ice hockey, soccer, tennis, track and field, and swimming, to name a few.

It has already been

demonstrated that these games will add more than $3 million in economic spinoffs. But these athletes are also saving the Canadian health care system millions by participating in activity that can prevent chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, emphysema and Alzheimer’s.

As well, it should be noted that these games build friendships and create camaraderie — important considerations given the isolation that can often come with aging.

So take in the opening ceremonies (tonight between 7 and 8:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex), watch the events or take in the closing ceremonies expected to take place Saturday between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. at the PSLC. Maybe after seeing all these positive role models, you too, will decide to participate in a new sport or activity.

COQUITLAM

Meet the architect Crackdown could The Editor, Re. “PoMo council opts to get info on potential road options in Flinn” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 16).

The continuing controversy regarding a road or not a road through Bert Flinn Park in Port Moody has had little input regarding the design and location of this connector from the prospective developer of the Ioco lands. The deferred decision of the council this past week includes a consideration of these factors when presented.

Concerned with the difficulties, I felt that knowing more about the designer would provide insights and potential partnership. At my request, James Cheng, the architect for Brilliant Circle Group, provided a brief biography, which I wish to share with others who believe as I do in the values of working together to find common ground: “James K.M. Cheng is a Canadian architect recognized for his pioneering contributions to west coast architecture and city building... Cheng’s approach represents a sensitive marriage of generous open environments

MARY ANNE COOPER with vibrant high-density living.

He is a lecturer at the University of British Columbia, and a design critic and juror.

“Cheng launched his architectural career working for Fred Bassetti and Mithun Partners while earning his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Washington in Seattle. A condominium project he designed during this time captured the attention of Architectural Record Magazine and garnered awards from AIA Seattle as well as the national AIA ‘Homes for Better Living’ program. Cheng went on to apprentice with Henrik Bull in San Francisco, and then for three

years with Arthur Erickson in Vancouver, before studying at the Harvard Graduate School of Design under Richard Meier.

“Cheng established James K.M. Cheng Architects Inc. in 1978. Since its inception, the firm has been presciently focused on designing high-density urban environments around nuanced open spaces that foster social interchange. Cheng plays a leading role in the widely studied and emulated form of urban development known as Vancouverism. The firm continues to evolve concepts of livability and sustainability at various scales — most recently at the community planning level throughout the Greater Vancouver region, in China, and in Hawaii.

“Cheng has received over 45 design awards, including the Order of Canada, our country’s highest honour for lifetime achievement, Canada’s Governor General’s Medal in Architecture. His work has been published and exhibited in Canada, the United States, London, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.”

hurt suite tenants The Editor, Re. “Crackdown in Coquitlam on illegal suites” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 16).

In the article on illegal suites in Coquitlam, it should be recognized that Stephanie James, the city’s acting director of legal and bylaw enforcement, makes much mention of bylaws and legal requirements for suites in basements and particularly in duplexes. She does not, however, mention the name of a single tenant who might be evicted from said suites in which they are apparently quite happy with

the conditions and rent payments. She should stop in and get to know them personally.

They could be evicted at a time when rental space is hard to find. There is little if any consideration given to the tenants or landlords. I own a duplex in which the (illegal) tenants were quite happy until the bylaws required them to move.

Here is an example of how the eviction of tenants works when you get to know them: I gave the one tenant who was going through personal hardship the sum of $3,000 to help her get into new accom-

modation. Part of that sum was the rent that she owed from the previous two months.

I had grounds to evict her but the Rental Tenancy Branch regulations (they all love their regulations) makes that nearly impossible. Of course, the bylaws enforcement officer was not concerned about this beyond following the bylaws.

I was threatened with fines if they didn’t move out in time.

The city should recognize that this is about people and not just poorly thought out and poorly administered bylaws.

Al Harms, Coquitlam

Cancer not stopping Camara’s campaign

CULTURE!

I

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Djiba Camara is running out of time to organize his favourite charity event — collecting goods and shipping them to Guinea, one of Africa’s poorest countries.

The Coquitlam resident has amassed a container of useful items, including tools, books, computers and sports equipment, to deliver to his former homeland but needs to raise $25,000 for the sea voyage.

Many people maintain connections with their birth country but Camara, who teaches in Langley and is a former professional soccer player, wants to do more than send a few dollars home.

“They are in need a lot, and if they get [the donated equipment], life will be better.”

Camara would also like to be able to take the goods to Conakry, Guinea himself because they would have a better chance of being distributed fairly.

But he is ill with liver cancer, discovered after his last trip bringing goods to Africa in 2013.

What he lacks in energy he makes up in enthusiasm. He recently sold his apartment to purchase a truck in which to store the goods and he hopes the gen-

David Esau, lead pastor at Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship in Coquitlam, and Djiba Camara, are promoting a fundraiser Saturday to ship a container of useful items to Guinea, in west Africa. erosity of his community, and his belief in a divine spirit, will help him get the items to Guinea as soon as possible.

“If God gives me a long life, that’s my plan,” he said.

He’s started a GoFundMe page to raise cash and his church, Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship, is behind him in his effort.

Pastor David Esau said the church typically holds a fundraiser in the fall for the homeless shelter but this year is going to support Camara’s project. “As he shared the need,” Esau said,

“he’s given us the desire to come alongside and support him.”

Donations can be made through Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship and a community block party and garage sale will be held Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church, with all proceeds going to the Guinea Project.

Donations can also be made (designated Guinea Project) at www.erbf.com/pages/giving or at gofundme.com/camaraguinea.

The Tri-CiTy News

The Tri-Cities will have an additional ambulance on the streets soon.

The vehicle will be put into service immediately with available staff while the Ministry of Health begins recruitment for permanent, full-time paramedics. The ambulance will be operating on a full-time basis within three months.

Last week, the provincial government also announced that Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge would be getting an additional ambulance after an analysis of ambulance call data and demand projections identified the two areas as having the greatest need.

In the Tri-Cities, call volumes have seen a slight in-

The median lights-and-siren response time has stayed the same or also increased slightly.

Maple Ridge has two ambulances and is experiencing one of the highest increases in ambulance calls of any city in B.C. The number of high-acuity or lights-and-siren calls has gone up by 36% in the past three years, from a monthly average of 139 in 2013 to 190 this year.

BC Emergency Health Services employs a regional dynamic deployment model, which dispatches cars on a regional basis according to availability.

Derelict PoCo house will be coming down

Rivers &

TRAILS Festival 2016

JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

The owner of a dilapidated home will see the house razed by the city of Port Coquitlam.

On Monday, city council unanimously deemed the house at 2187 Pitt River Rd. a nuisance on the recommendation of the city’s community safety committee.

In his committee report, bylaw services manager Dan Scoones showed images of garbage, furniture and needles strewn around the yard as well as evidence of squatters camping inside and on the front porch. Windows and stairs are broken, and rodents are rampant, he wrote.

“Everything that was wrong with a property was wrong with this house,” Coun. Mike Forrest said at Monday night’s meeting, noting the safety concerns as well as the ongoing fire and police costs to the municipality.

Scoones said neighbours have complained to the city about the vacant house since March 2013 and, despite repeated notices to the absentee owner, who lives in Vancouver, nothing has been done.

Under Section 74 of the Community Charter, remedial orders can be issued to a prop-

It’s not the first remedial order to come before PoCo city council this year.

In the spring, council placed a 30-day order on the owner of 2438 Kelly Ave. after the property had been sold despite its run-down state. Last November, the single-family home was destroyed by fire and scavengers were gaining access to the unsecured lot.

PoCo currently has about 20 large industrial containers — most of them located on private property — and nearly all are magnets for illegal dumping, city staff say. Often, they are overflowing with used clothing, furniture and books, which creates an eyesore and a safety concern for the municipality, Scoones wrote in his report to the city’s community safety committee.

2016 TERRY FOX RUN

Numbers are up for Tri-Cities’ Fox Runs JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Bracketed by torrential rains on Saturday and Monday, Sunday morning broke clear and dry in time for the TriCities’ four Terry Fox Runs.

In Terry’s hometown of Port Coquitlam, participation and fundraising was up over last year, with more than 2,500 people participating to pay tribute to the national icon and to bring in money for cancer research for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Organizer Dave Teixeira and his team helped to raise more than $65,000 — hitting Fox’s goal of $1 per resident in PoCo — compared with $53,000 last year.

Premier Christy Clark, Marathon of Hope publicist Bill Vigars and Fox’s Marathon of Hope companion Doug Alward talked about Fox’s dream to fight the disease that cut short his dream in Thunder Bay, Ont., and claimed his life in 1981.

Teixeira was happy the sun shone on the day, telling the crowd on Sunday, “Rolly [Fox’s father, who died this year] is playing a trick by scaring us with bad weather yesterday and this morning, and then smiling down on us with sunshine before the run starts.”

Coquitlam’s Fox run at Blue Mountain Park, where Fox’s high school running coach Fred Tinck spoke, also had a surprise announcement, with staff from the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver handing over a $10,000 cheque for the cause.

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said the nice weather was “one of the stars of the day” for the PoMo Run. “The sun came out and it was actually too warm for some people doing the run” along the Shoreline Trail.

The Rocky Point Park event he helped to organize drew about 250 runners and collected approximately $8,000. Terry’s sister, Judith Fox, spoke to the crowd about her late brother,

mother Betty and father.

“It was truly amazing to have her join us and inspire us,” Clay said.

And in Anmore, where Belcarra resident and Terry Fox Foundation executive director Britt Andersen was the keynote speaker, co-organizer Gord Bytelaar said about 140 participants raised some $3,400 — about the same as last year.

Among those supporting the Anmore run were Donna White, the B.C./Yukon director of the Terry Fox Foundation.

Across the province and territory, the numbers were up versus last year’s 35th anniversary, when “it poured rain in every part of Canada.”

Although funds are still being calculated — and will continue to come in until the end of

March — White said Stanley Park, in particular, had an outstanding event: It is already showing $15,000 more than last year and online registration was also up.

Meanwhile, the foundation is now preparing for Friday’s Terry Fox Run at Simon Fraser University, where Fox studied kinesiology and was an athlete, and where the national foundation office is based, as well as for next week’s school runs.

Or the Top Safety Pick+ designation for our entire lineup‡. And probably because we strive to deliver a heightened experience with every drive. With Subaru, see everything a vehicle should be.

CITY OF COQUITLAM ARCHIVES PHOTO

Essondale’s West Lawn around 1914.

COQUITLAM 125: HIGHLIGHTS

Rich history on lands known as Essondale STORIES OF THE CITY COQUITLAM HERITAGE SOCIETY This is the latest instalment of a series of columns produced by the Coquitlam Heritage Society to coincide with the city of Coquitlam’s 125th birthday this year. The columns are published every few weeks.

S

ituated on the banks of the Coquitlam and Fraser Rivers, Riverview Hospital and Colony Farm Regional Park are centrepieces of both the natural and social history in the TriCities. Collectively known as Essondale, the buildings, gardens and farmland of this area hold many stories.

In 1904, the provincial gov-

ernment acquired 1,000 acres of land to build a new and expansive mental health and agricultural project in Coquitlam.

The project was desperately needed. A growing population coupled with a lack of specialized treatment centres meant that patients with mental health needs often ended up in the only place that could accommodate them: prisons.

The Hospital for the Mind at Mount Coquitlam was developed to provide cutting-edge psychiatric care. Built in part by patients themselves, the first building opened in 1913 and housed 340 patients. Over the coming years, many more would quickly follow. The Provincial Boys’ Industrial School, the Acute Psychopathic Unit, and Female Chronic Unit were all added by 1930.

In addition to the hospital,

the land was home to the Provincial Botanical Garden until it was relocated to the University of British Columbia in 1916. Colony Farm was an exceptionally productive and technologically advanced agricultural project that supplied food and work opportunities for the patients at Riverview as part of the hospital’s holistic treatment philosophy.

Despite the closure of Colony Farm and Riverview Hospital, the area is still giving back to the community.

The gardens live on in over one hundred tree species on Riverview’s grounds — one of the richest and largest arboretums in Canada. In addition, Colony Farm Regional Park is a recreational hotspot with many trails, a community gardening, and is a vibrant wetland with lush habitat for birds and fish.

Timely picture books HEALTHY HABITS A GOOD READ NATALIE SCHEMBRI

A

utumn is here — today!

— which means it is time for stories to usher in the new school year. As the bell chimes in the new school year, here is a selection of must-read picture books for children that capture the anticipation, excitement and worries of heading back-to-school, or even heading to school for the very first time.

These good reads are warm and satisfying stories that will assuage back to school jitters.

Through gentle watercolour illustrations and a reflective narrative, Deirdre Sullivan and Maja Löfdahl chronicle a young girl’s discoveries from the first day of school to the end of the school year. Readers of Ming Goes to School follow the title character in her transition from first-day parental goodbyes to newfound friendships. At school, Ming builds magic fairy castles, hosts “pinkie-lifting” tea parties and achieves a playground feat “worth waiting for.”

The book reveals that “growing up takes time,” and that there will be challenges and triumphs along the way. A genuine celebration of friendship, play, and new experiences to share with kindergarten and first grade students.

Everyone is a little nervous on the first day of school, especially School. School’s First Day of School, written

by Adam Rex and illustrated

by Caldecott Honor artist Christian Robinson, presents a delightfully fresh perspective on the first day of school. Rex and Robinson succeed masterfully at anthropomorphizing the new school building, revealing Frederick Douglass Elementary’s anxieties about his first day. Robinson’s bold and brilliant acrylic paint and collage illustrations of the building’s exterior — windows for eyes, door handles for a nose and a slight front stoop smile — subtly add personality to the school. When the children arrive, School is shocked by the older kids’ remarks: “This place stinks” or “I hate school.” School feels awful as he squirts fountain water on a child’s face and is terribly

embarrassed (and apologetic) when his fire alarm sounds.

School begins to enjoy the feeling of the messy, boisterous learning happening within his walls, and he looks forward to inviting the children back the next day. Worthy of being shelved alongside back-toschool classics such as Kevin Henkes’ Wemberly Worried and Joseph Slate’s Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten.

In Salina Yoon’s Bear’s Big Day, Bear is ready for his very first day of school. At breakfast, he declares: “I’m a big bear now.” Sadly, there is no room in his big-bear backpack for Floppy, Bear’s stuffed bunny.

Leaving Floppy at home while Bear goes to school proves to be a difficult task for this cub.

All day, Bear longs for his favourite stuffed friend. With the inspiration of his teacher, Miss Fox, Bear finds a way share his school day with Floppy. A perfect story to share with children experiencing the anxiety of leaving a stuffed friend — or parent — at home.

“Otter Keeper gave me a cuddle. He said that everyone is good at something and that you just need to find out what that something is.” With gentle humour and charm, Sam Garton’s Otter is back in Otter Goes to School.

Picture books can help kids get used to school continued from page 28

While Otter Keeper is at work, Otter has the idea to dress up in a “special teacher dress” and open up her own school to educate her stuffed animal friends. Otter helps Giraffe, Pig and Bear prepare for school, drives them to the school (in her toy car), experiences an emotional parental goodbye and then resumes her role as the friendly teacher. Otter cares deeply about the success of her students and when she learns that Bear does not feel as clever as Giraffe and Pig, she doubts

her teaching abilities and seeks advice from Otter Keeper at an “emergency parent-teacher meeting.”

Otter Goes to School is a positive story that reassures Otter, Bar, and readers alike that everyone has a special gold star-worthy talent to discover and share. A story that will resonate with both students and teachers.

Parent support circle starts For parents concerned about kids’ substance use

The journey of parenting can have many highs and lows.

This is especially true for parents faced with the challenging and sometimes discouraging task of having a child who is using drugs.

Share Family and Community Services’ Parent and Caregivers’ Circle is a free education and support group for parents and caregivers who are concerned about their youth and substance use.

It will run on Tuesdays, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., starting Oct. 11 and running for eight sessions through Nov. 29 at Share’s offices, 2615 Clarke St. (second floor), Port Moody.

According to Share, participants will:

You & The Law® SPLITTING UP? SOCIAL MEDIA COULD SINK YOUR CASE Wanting to share what’s important to you with friends and family is only natural. Email, texting and posting messages or photos on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram make this easy. But if you’re embroiled in an emotional break-up, be careful what you share – it could come back to haunt you big-time.

When you separate or divorce, the first rule of social media is: “Don’t email, text or post anything you don’t want a judge to see.”

Once sent, emails, texts and posts can be accessed, copied, shared further and printed.

Even a deleted post can still be retrieved. And people you thought of as reliable confidantes may pass things on to your ex.

Also, your privacy settings aren’t foolproof.

They change all the time and may have loopholes. As well, information you think is private may not be protected. Courts need to balance your privacy claims with the other side’s right to put forward relevant information, which may trump your privacy claim.

In family law disputes, much of the evidence filed in court may consist of chains of text messages, photos or posts. These can damage or even destroy a case. You say you can’t afford to pay child support? Photos of your fancy new car or expensive tropical vacation won’t help.

And on critical issues like parenting time and contact with your children (called custody and access in divorce cases), social media posts can do untold harm. Posts sent to your ex out of frustration and anger can come across as bullying, threatening or harassing later. If

they amount to psychological or emotional abuse, they may be treated as family violence under our family law, with serious potential consequences – a protection order against you, an order to get counselling, maybe even an order to leave the family home. Photos or posts that show you partying hard, using drugs or engaging in other risky behaviours can also hurt your parenting or contact time claims.

Even less dramatic posts can have negative consequences. They can paint a different picture of you than what you’d like. And it can be devastating for your kids to see negative posts about your ex.

Emotions often run high when you’re breaking up. But you should express them in a private (even professional) setting, not a public forum accessible to your ex, their lawyer and the judge deciding your case.

So when splitting up, take your ex, their friends and family off your social media networks.

Don’t leave your phone around unlocked for easy snooping through by your ex. And don’t put things on social media that could anger your spouse and needlessly turn things into a bitter court fight. Remember, especially if kids are involved, you’ll want a civil relationship later.

CITY OF THE ARTS

‘We have so much spirit here’ JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

In Ann Kitching’s April Road house, a place she has called home for the past 40 years, the phone rings constantly.

Visitors drops in daily to her “Chimney House,” so named for the long, white vertical pipe that rises from her living room fireplace — a house she added on as soon as she moved in.

On a table close to where she enjoys the view of the Port Moody Inlet, there’s a gift of white orchards, a sign of appreciation for all her years of service and dedication to the community.

It’s a home filled with love and, soon, a place where she will have to leave.

Penelope “Ann” Kitching has cancer.

She was given four to six months to live “and that was five months ago,” she said.

Doctors diagnosed her with colon cancer at first. Then, other illnesses followed. She had the necessary treatments and, today, is on a host of medications including morphine.

Her humour is still sharp, though, and she is well enough to accept invitations and well-wishes from what she describes as “an unbelievable collection of friends.”

“I think I am the luckiest person in the world,” she said.

“If I knew dying was this much fun then I would have died earlier.”

Educated in Salisbury, England, the mathematician, former college administrator and Port Moody Freedom of the City recipient has a bucket list she’s checking off before she leaves this Earth.

Last week, Kitching got one item accomplished when she

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Longtime arts leader Ann Kitching looks at the Port Moody Inlet from her April Road home last Friday, with her Freedom of the City key in her hand. In the black and white photograph beside her is an image of her father, who died in the Second World War, with King George VI. gave Mayor Mike Clay and city council an earful about the state of the City of the Arts, a term she and Elizabeth Keurvorst — Port Moody’s former director of communications and culture — coined about 15 years ago, when Joe Trasolini was mayor.

The brand, which was trademarked on June 16, 2004, was aimed at sparking creativity and tourism — in essence, a way to honour the numerous artists and artisans working in

the community.

“We wanted to make Port Moody different from Burnaby and Coquitlam,” she said. “We wanted to try to keep Port Moody as a unique city and make the arts and culture an economic driver.”

In its first year as the City of the Arts, handpainted street banners went up, she said.

And soon, welcome signs were erected at the city borders to announce Port Moody as the “City of the Arts.”

Get your Dental Calendar On Track Dr. Myrna Pearce, Dr. Candace Woodman, Dr. Felix Wu and Dr. Darren Zomar Call us today:

But after that, the campaign fell flat.

And, at last Tuesday’s city council meeting, Kitching voiced her frustration about the lip service and lack of leadership from the municipality.

She waved her city key before them.

“I had expected it to continue and for the city to build on it,” she told The Tri-City News last Friday, “but it was a hit and miss…. No one was given the responsibility to keep

it as the City of the Arts.”

(Requests for comment from Mayor Clay were not returned).

As president of the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, Kitching tried to do her part over the years.

She and volunteers launched the Wearable Arts awards, an event to encourage local, Canadian and international artists of all mediums to design imaginative creations for the human body.

As well, she was a member

of numerous civic committees, offering direction to council on how to boost the arts while connecting the community.

For the city’s 100th year in 2013 — the same year Clay granted her the key to the city — she and some 400 volunteers helped to stitch a quilt, showing landmarks and historical places (the artwork is now on permanent display at city hall).

“That’s the sort of thing I had hoped we would continue,” Kitching said, “because we have so much spirit here. I have been on committees and task forces. There have been charrettes. There have been thousands of hours of planning and hundreds of ideas.

Nothing happens.”

Still, despite her disappointment, she doesn’t believe the brand is a lost cause.

Kitching has rallied developers of new oceanfront properties to incorporate public art or other architectural designs on their land (she cites the example of the Dancing House in Prague).

And she has made it known her desire to see “an easy, cheap and impressive” project for Christmas, one that would band all ages and give residents a sense of belonging.

She wants them to hang an ornament or two along St. Johns or Clarke streets in Moody Centre to give it a bit of sparkle.

“It doesn’t seem to me that it would be difficult to do,” she said.

As for other items on her bucket list, Kitching will soon realize another dream of seeing her fibre arts exhibited in a public gallery. see ADORN MOODY, page 33

THEATRE

Go on a West Coast musical ride at ECC JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

About four years ago, while Ross Desprez and Tobin Stokes worked on Moodyville Tales — a musical about characters getting stuck in Port Moody on their way to the Klondike Rush — the pair got thinking about west coast folk music.

As the Other Guys Theatre Company, they had created productions weaving history and culture such as Good Timber - Songs and Stories of the Western Logger.

But often, they posed the question: What do our songs say about our us?

After all, they were different from the rollicking east coast folk tunes.

Back in the 1800s, when B.C. was developing, news largely travelled through word of mouth and communal singing.

Still, historical events usually got blown out of proportion and “every time they got told, they were bigger and bigger,” Desprez said.

Soon enough, people, places and happenings were immortalized. And it was through those silly recountings that Flotsam & Jetsam: Life on the West Coast was born.

The musical revue, which opened yesterday (Tuesday) at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre, bases its name on debris that washes on our shores: Flotsam is wreckage while jetsam refers to material tossed overboard — that is to say, a whole bunch of lost or discarded history that landed on B.C.’s beaches.

Desprez, the director, said it’s ironic the Flotsam & Jetsam cast also hails largely from outside of province: Colleen Eccelston and her brother, Kelt, are Newfies and Mark Hellman

Together, they sing original songs penned by Stokes, ranging from opera arias to First Nations chants, with titles like Boat People, Village of Skedans, D’Arcy Island, Herring, Tofino’s Only Bugle Boy and Tugboat Blues.

Behind them, a multimedia backdrop exhibits scenes from the west coast.

As for their audience, Desprez said Flotsam & Jetsam

is an educational rendering suitable for students and seniors alike. “We believe the theatre should say something so we try to make it fun and entertaining and memorable,” he said.

Adorn Moody Centre trees for Christmas, Kitching says continued from page 32

A few of her pieces will be on display at Art 4 Life, a show at the Port Moody Arts Centre that opens Oct. 1 to coincide with Culture Days.

In the end, she believes she will have accomplished most — if not, all — of her dying wishes.

Kitching said her daughter and granddaughter will inherit her beloved home and belongings, including her cat.

And, for her final days, she plans to receive palliative care down the hill at the Inlet Centre Hospice, which is run by the Crossroads Hospice Society, in the city she so dearly loves.

Carson Barton was named unsung hero and most inspirational players, while Josh Phillips and Kevin Neufeld shared the seventh man award and Steve McKinlay took home the spirit award.

Off the lacrosse floor, Mike Chernoff received recognition as the volunteer of the year and Adam Bordignon

was given the service award of excellence. The president’s award was given to Al Ibsen and Yvan Lomas.

The Coquitlam Adanacs just missed a playoff berth this season, finishing up with a 7-11 record, which was good enough for fifth place in the Western Lacrosse Association.

TNT Take dowN RoYaL CITY 1-0 Tessa Weimer scored the lone goal as the Coquitlam Metro-Ford TNT defeated Royal City during an under-18 girls soccer game last week.
