A STORY OF COmmuNITY TOLD IN 2 LETTERS: PG. 13

EDITORIAL

Vote. It’s that simple.

We all have busy lives. We all have things we’d rather do on a sunny Saturday than line up in a school gym to fill out a ballot. And all those candidates — so many engaged community members trying to contribute to choose from.

But to quote a Port Moody school trustee candidate who, confronted on a doorstep with someone questioning why they should care about the school board when they don’t have kids in the school system, “You pay taxes, don’t you? Don’t you care about who is responsible for your money?”

The larger question is: Don’t you care about your community? Also: Are you content to leave the crucial — but, really, quite easy — work of democracy to the few who show up, your only contribution the occasional complaint amongst neighbours when your recycling is picked up late? Do you believe the level of government closest to you somehow doesn’t affect you?

To answer the last question, it does. Which means your votes matter.

So please take a moment tomorrow and do your small part: Vote. n FINAL PRE-ELECTION COVERAGE: WHO’S ELIGIBLE, WHEN TO VOTE: PG. 3 n CANDIDATE INFO & VIDEOS: www.tricitynews.com/municipal-election

Double-digit increases in Tc advance voter turnout PoCo’s advance votes almost double those in 2014

The Tri-CiTy News

More Tri-City residents are taking advantage of early voting opportunities ahead of the 2018 municipal election tomorrow (Saturday).

While Coquitlam has one more day to go in advance voting, with a polling station open today at Pinetree community centre (1260 Pinetree Way) between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., the municipality has already surpassed its 2014 total.

So far, 3,827 ballots have been cast, which is already 17% higher — 556 more votes — than all of the advanced voting that took place in the city in

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

An advance polling station Wednesday in Coquitlam, which had, before today’s final advance vote, 17% hike from 2014.

2014. On Oct. 10, 863 ballots were cast at the Poirier com-

munity centre while, on Oct. 12, 250 ballots were cast at Victoria

Hall. Last Saturday was the busiest day so far, with a polling station opened at Dogwood Pavilion seeing 721 ballots cast and Pinetree community centre collecting 770 ballots.

Port Coquitlam, which wrapped up its final advance voting opportunity Wednesday, more than doubled its total of 921 in the last election with 1,975 early ballots cast in 2018.

Another 24 mail-in ballot packages were distributed.

Port Moody, which has also completed advanced voting, saw a 23.6% increase from 2014.

A total of 1,402 ballots were cast in opportunities Oct. 10 (560) and Oct. 13 (842) while 128 of 275 mail-in ballots had been completed as of Tuesday.

In 2014, both advance voting opportunities and mail ballots totalled 1,238. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

whO CAN VOTe & hOw Saturday, voters across British Columbia will head out to the polls to pick the mayors, city councillors and school trustees who will represent them for the next four years.

Here is everything you need to know before you cast your ballot tomorrow:

ELIGIBILITY

A resident is eligible to vote in their municipal election if they are a Canadian citizen, 18 years or older on general voting day, have lived in B.C. for at least six months before registering to vote, and have lived in their municipality for at least 30 days before the day of registration.

ID NEEDED

Voters must bring at least two pieces of identification that, in combination, provide proof of the person’s identity and their place of residence. At least one document must contain the voter’s signature. Acceptable piece of identification include, but are not limited to: • BC ID card; • BC CareCard; • social insurance card; • Canadian citizenship card; • utility bill (telephone, hydro, etc.); • property tax notice; • credit card or debit card; • vehicle insurance documents issued by ICBC; • or a valid passport.

Residents who own property in the community but live in another municipality are also eligible to vote but they must be able to produce proof of entitlement to the registrar, such as a recent certificate of title.

MISSING PERSONS

Testing Sat. could help save seniors Coq. sAr to take part in app trials in Mundy Park Diane STranDberG The Tri-CiTy News

A new smartphone app that could help locate people with dementia who go wandering will get its first test in B.C. this weekend at Mundy Park in Coquitlam.

Saturday, about 15 Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers will try out the new Community ASAP app, which would enable pre-registered volunteers to report sightings that can help authorities locate the missing person.

Michael Coyle, Coquitlam SAR spokesperson, said it will be the first time the search organization has tested the app, which was developed

by University of Alberta’s Age Well team and a seniors advocate, Rob Beleno, and will give Coquitlam searchers a first-hand look at the proposed system.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Michael Coyle, spokesperson for Coquitlam Search and Rescue, will be helping co-ordinate an urban search training program for the local SAR team, which will include testing a new app that could be used to locate people with dementia when they go wandering.

“The app could be the start of something interesting,” said Coyle, who advised the team of researchers on ways to make the app more effective but has

yet to see how it works in action.

If successful, Coyle believes it would solve a number of problems, namely getting people close to the missing person to

keep a lookout, coordinating and keeping track of sightings, and even matching photos taken by volunteers with those of the missing person.

“You don’t have to be heroic.

You just have to look in your backyard,” Coyle said of volunteers who could sign up to be notified if a person went missing in their neighbourhood.

But for the app to be successful, it needs to be monitored by a group, such as a police or city emergency response team, or another organization that can be the coordinating body, said Coyle, who started a BC Silver Alert program that sends out via social media reports about people with dementia who’ve gone missing.

Mundy Park is an ideal location to try out such an app, he said, because it’s a place people with dementia might go if they were lost and trying to reconnect with an old memory, such as a previous home, or they could have simply made the wrong turn.

Coquitlam SAR already has a search plan for the park, with maps and other details ready to go, and Saturday morning, members will be practicing a missing person scenario with the trial of the Community ASAP app in the afternoon. A

CRAIG HODGE to Coquitlam city council

604.240.1534 | craig@craighodge.ca | www.craighodge.ca Authorized by Bill Healy, financial agent for Craig Hodge (financialagentbill@gmail.com)

command centre will be set up for the day in the east parking lot on Mariner Way and park-goers might notice some additional activity, with searchers practising different types of search techniques.

Coyle said urban searches are among the most challenging, especially because people with dementia don’t stand out and can take transit if they want to — taking them far away from their home very quickly.

But statistical models of lost person behaviour suggests that 25% of people with dementia are found within 300 m of their last sighting, and 50% within a kilometre, making quick response a critical factor in their relocation.

“If someone goes missing in this park,” Coyle said, “they could walk into the bush. They won’t get far in the bush but they might want to walk in the bush.”

If you’re in Mundy Park tomorrow, watch out for signs indicating the activity is for training only. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Vandals cut down power poles in PoCo

 Â?Â? Â?Â?Â? Â?Â?Â?Â

Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Someone sawing through two power poles and damaging a third in Port Coquitlam’s Gates Park put themselves, the public and BC Hydro work crews in danger, a spokesperson for the utility confirmed.

Early Tuesday morning, at about 4:30 a.m., BC Hydro received a report that the power was out for 4,500 homes. When crews arrived and patrolled the area they found two poles had been cut down with a chainsaw and a third pole was cut but remained held up by wires.

Along with overhead power lines being brought down, an underground line emerging on one of the poles was also severed, leaving 4,500 BC Hydro customers without power for nearly four hours while repairs were made. “What’s really important to remember here is that electrical equipment is very dangerous. That’s why these types of incidents are so concerning,� said Hydro spokesperson Mora Scott.

It’s not known who did the damage or why, but Coquitlam RCMP is investigating the incident. “We haven’t made any

Vandals chopped down two power poles and damaged a third in an early-morning vandalism spree on Tuesday. Police and BC Hydro are investigating. arrests yet,� Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said. “We are working on it.�

Scott said the downed polls were inside the park near the Wilson Avenue entrance.

It’s not unusual for BC Hydro electrical equipment to be damaged to obtain copper wire, Scott said, but the motivation in this instance has not been confirmed.

A similar circumstance occurred in Surrey, when six transmission poles were cut down.

In order to repair the damage, three power poles had to be replaced with the downed power lines causing concern because they carry 12,000 volts each. “This could have seriously injured or killed a member of the public or our crews as they worked to make repairs,� Scott noted.

BC Hydro crews made the area safe and restored power to customers around 8 a.m. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

HALLOWEEN

Ayers pay it forward with scary house Donated decorations and donated cash play big roles MArio BArtel

The Tri-CiTy News

It started 19 years ago with a gift of some surplus Halloween decorations.

And the Ayers has been paying it forward ever since, growing the spooky display around their Coquitlam home and the donations they’re able to make to Variety — The Children’s Charity.

This year, Lucille Ayers said the family is hoping to be able to donate $10,000 from contributions by appreciative visitors as well as the proceeds from the sale of Halloween trinkets like glow sticks and necklaces, laser pens and CDs of spooky music.

Preparation for this year’s display began before Thanksgiving so it would be set up in time for its first official visitors beginning tomorrow (Saturday). That entailed hauling out the dozens of large boxes and sacks squirrelled away in every nook and corner of their garage and home, and filled with all manner of creepy critters, ghastly ghouls, glowing skulls, cackling witches, dusty gravestones and giant hairy spiders. Some of them shake, rattle and screech, adding an extra dimension of fright.

OCT 20

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Barry Ayers (above) and Vickie Ayers (above right) add some final touches to the spooky decorations surrounding his family’s home at 443 Draycott St. in Coquitlam. This is the 19th year the Ayers have created an elaborate Halloween display to raise money for Variety - the Children’s Charity. The display officially opens to visitors on Saturday.

For information on other haunted halloween displays in the Tri-Cities, read The Tri-City News next week

Ayers said most have been donated over the years by friends and neighbours and businesses looking to unload some surplus merchandise.

She said planning and erecting the display has become a

bit of a family tradition, with her husband Barry and daughter Vickie taking on a lot of the heavy lifting. The payoff is the squeals of frightened delight from kids who stop by between 6:30 and 9 p.m. nightly until

Halloween, and the smiles on the faces of their parents.

“It’s become a social event,” Ayers said. “Some people stay for a couple of hours.”

Ayers, who brings some life to the display by dressing as a friendly witch to greet visitors, said the family takes pains to stay on good terms with their neighbours, shutting down the display at a reasonable hour.

And they want to make sure the display is accessible to all, so even visitors in wheelchairs can roll right into some of the creepiest sections of the haunted house.

• The Ayers’ haunted house is located at 443 Draycott St. in Coquitlam. The scariness begins at 6:30 p.m. every day from Oct. 20 to 31, and ends at 9:30 p.m.

cannabis use. The municipal force will adhere to its current policy around alcohol use, which permits consumption but ensures members are fit for duty before starting their shift, Const. Jason Maschke told The Tri-City News.

“When you come to work, whether it be alcohol or drugs, you better be fit for duty with none of that in your system,” he said.

As legal recreational cannabis became the law of the land Wednesday, police forces across the country are grap-

pling with how to deal with the new regulations. For example, Vancouver and Ottawa, both municipal forces, will follow similar rules to Port Moody’s in allowing marijuana use provided officers are fit for duty when it is time to start work.

Meanwhile, Calgary’s city force is taking an even stricter approach to off-duty cannabis use, prohibiting all consumption of marijuana for its members. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Smoking cannabis may now be legal in Canada, but you still can’t do it anywhere in Port Moody where you can’t already smoke tobacco.

That includes the city’s parks, sports venues, playgrounds, beaches, school premises, in buildings and workplaces and within 7.5 metres of a doorway, windows that open or an air intake.

And while smoking cannabis is permitted in private dwellings in the city, a recent amendment to Port Moody’s smoking bylaws prohibits it from smoking clubs where customers may only smoke non-tobacco and non-cannabis products like herbal cigarettes or a hookah pipe.

Infractions of the city’s smoking bylaw carry a $500 fine.

There’s also no place to legally purchase cannabis in Port Moody.

The city will begin a consultation process in early November with an online survey of residents, followed by meetings with potential store owners and operators, and then a public open house later in the month.

The results of that consultation will help the city decide whether cannabis retail stores should be allowed to operate in the city and, if so, where and under what conditions, like hours of operation and security requirements.

Once Port Moody council has had a chance to consider the findings of the consultation process in January, amendments to existing zoning and business license bylaws would be prepared for adoption in February.

COQUITLAM CENTRE

Coquitlam RCMP officers will have to book some significant vacation time if they want to consume marijuana while off duty.

But Port Moody Police Department is taking a different approach.

According to an RCMP policy change that took effect Wednesday, Mounties in “safety-sensitive” positions — all regular members — must refrain from using cannabis within 28 days of a shift.

The RCMP said the rules, which will affect all 18,000 officers in 700 communities across the country, including Coquitlam, are based on current scientific information around the effects of marijuana consumption.

“Science shows that cannabis can intoxicate beyond initial consumption and that there are no established safe limits or data on how it affects performance,” the RCMP states in the revised workplace substance use policy.

“Without established scientific information about cannabis impairment, the RCMP policy is taking a careful approach at this time, to ensure workplace and public safety is maintained at all times.”

The policy also notes that employees will not be subject to random drug testing to ensure compliance.

Meanwhile, the Port Moody Police Department is taking a different approach to how it will handle members’ off-duty

VANDALISM INCIDENT

PoCo teen arrested after tire slashing Incident occurred along Burnaby/ New West border

Two teenage boys were arrested, including one from Port Coquitlam, and are facing mischief charges following a Thanksgiving Day tire slashing spree along the Burnaby/New Westminster border.

Burnaby RCMP received multiple reports Monday

morning from residents around the 7500 block of 12th Avenue in Burnaby complaining their vehicles had their tires slashed overnight. Officers found more slashed vehicle tires around the 7100 block of 10th Avenue, which is the boundary with New West.

RCMP said some residents reported hearing tires being punctured about 2 a.m. but hadn’t reported it.

Security video footage showed two young males in

hoodies stabbing tires and checking car doors.

“This vandalism has come with a great cost to these residents,” said Staff Sgt. John Buis in a press release. “The sheer quantity of vehicles involved is shocking.”

On Thursday, RCMP arrested a 15-year-old in Port Coquitlam and a 14-year-old in Maple Ridge. Their names will not be made public. newsroom@tricitynews.com –with file from the Burnaby Now

ROAD SAFETY

Cyclist suffers injuries after collision in Coq. A 49-year-old cyclist suffered serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle on Como Lake Avenue in Coquitlam Tuesday night.

The incident occurred at approximately 5:30 p.m. when police said the vehicle failed to yield to the

cyclist. The Coquitlam RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team was on scene but investigators said there was no evidence that the driver was impaired.

“The Coquitlam RCMP would like to remind the motoring public to exercise

care and attention when driving; always being alert for not just other vehicles but also anything else that may be on the road to such as pedestrians and cyclists,” Mounties said in a press release.

Library presentation on tensions in Brazil Tri-City residents can get a sense of the polarized tension enveloping Brazil ahead of a run-off election later this month from a recent immigrant to Canada who has firsthand knowledge.

Lawyer Carolina Barrocas will speak at the Oct. 24 meeting of Amnesty International’s Tri-Cities chapter. Barrocas has taught human rights and tax law at Estacio Sa, the third larg-

est university in the world.

The release said Brazil has been riddled with violence and murders often targeting young blacks, the LGBTQ2 community and journalists. An Amnesty International report said there are a number of legislative proposals in the works that threaten human rights and are huge setbacks.

The current situation in Brazil, said Barrocas in the

group’s release, is “the worst time — we’re going back to something like the military dictatorship of 30 years ago.”

She will speak at the meeting to be held in Room 127 of the Coquitlam Public Library (City Centre branch) on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 7 p.m. For more information call 604-4647706 or check out Facebook — Amnesty International TriCities Chapter.

Demystifying Bitcoin The basics on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency will be explored at a presentation being put on by the Port Moody Public Library.

Simon Fraser University doctoral student Phillipa Adams will talk about the future of money in Bitcoin and Blockchain for Beginners at the Inlet Theatre on Wednesday (Oct. 24) from 7 to 8 p.m.

“The news is full of sensational stories about people buying houses

with Bitcoin or becoming overnight millionaires by investing in Ethereum,” said Adams in a press release. “These are extreme examples, but cryptocurrency is much more than just money in a cloud or a stock.”

Adams will try to demystify cryptocurrency and explain blockchain technology.

“This technology has the potential to change everything: how we pay

our bills, how we bank. But it also has the potential to decrease corporate fraud, aid countries suffering from unstable currencies, and make governments more accountable for their spending,” said Adams.

“It’s just getting started. We don’t know what problems it can solve or cause.”

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Consider seniors Municipal elections are tomorrow (Saturday) and candidates are stumping for votes to the last minute. but if you get a chance to talk to one of them, ask what they are doing to promote a dementia and elder-friendly city. amidst all the clamour about affordable housing, lower taxes and more transparency, little has been said about the Tri-Cities’ changing demographic and the need to provide senior-friendly streets, housing and recreation for those who lack mobility, a driver’s licence, financial resources and terrific good health to take advantage of things already in place.

What’s more, the province needs a Silver alert system to quickly alert authorities, neighbourhoods and emergency responders in the event someone with dementia goes missing.

Local politicians could be advocating for this.

When you vote tomorrow, make sure you vote for someone who understands the needs of elderly people and will work for them. don’t forget, you will be an elder some day. don’t you want your city to accommodate you?

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

Do you support a silver alert system to alert people if someone with Dementia goes missing?

last week’s question:

Do you think legal marijuana will increase pot consumption among teenagers?

Proposed law aims to protect foreign workers from abuse

T

he sustained record-low unemployment has been cause for monthly celebrations by government for several years. Nearly every month-end tally brings a congratulatory news release about the number of new jobs, and the comparatively scanty number of people still looking for work. but there’s a side-effect to high employment: It forces some low-wage sectors desperate to find staff to look offshore to find workers. and the downside les leyne to that established practice is how poorly some of those people are treated.

The NdP has been cheering high employment just like the bC Liberals did. but the John Horgan government is about to take a different tack on dealing with the downside. Legislation is coming this fall that will hold employers who hire temporary foreign workers to a much higher standard than currently exists.

Labour Minister Harry bains confirmed it Monday after a news conference at the legislature by several organizations that have been working for years to improve the circumstances for temporary foreign workers in b.C. The advocacy groups say they are busy on a daily basis dealing with reports of abuse and exploitation of such workers.

DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

b.C. takes in the second-highest number of temporary foreign workers among provinces. There were about 22,000 new slots for them in b.C. approved by the federal government last year. ottawa legislates and regulates the practice but provinces have a role in enforcing employment standards once they are here. b.C. is considered to be well behind the pack in upholding standards and pursuing complaints.

Erie Maestro of Migrante bC said the province dragged its feet on offering protection but the group is hoping the changed government can match legislation six other provinces have passed “and maybe even do better.” The group wants firms that recruit the workers to be licensed and a provincial registry created so there can be much more control and monitoring of their conditions.

That idea was in bains’ mandate letter from Premier Horgan in July 2017 and he said it is coming soon.

The registry would be a bare minimum. advocates say provincial authorities are more or less in the dark about what happens to the workers once the federal government approves companies’ applications to bring them in. Government material repeatedly stresses that the workers should not be charged and should not have to pay anyone fees to come to Canada. but Natalie drolet of the Migrant Workers Centre said it sees people being exploited by unscrupulous recruiters and fraudulent immigration consultants. “The going rate being charged for a job in

b.C. is now the range of $20,00 to $30,000. This is unacceptable.”

Many of the workers are uncertain of their rights and won’t speak up for fear of retribution. There’s a six-month time limit on filing complaints. and provincial enforcement is largely complaintdriven as there are few staff to do proactive investigations, the advocates say.

The federal government can investigate violations and levy fines.

It maintains a list of violators who have been fined or prohibited from bringing in any more workers. but when workers want to recover wages or fees, they have to go to provincial employment standards offices. That’s where the protections fail. bC federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger said temporary foreign workers “harvest our food and look after our children and our seniors, and, in many cases, they get exploited. They don’t have the same rights as other workers.”

Citing the list of recurring complaints about pay shortages and work conditions, Lanzinger said: “It’s time we took away the rights of those employers to employ workers… find out who they are, track their behaviour and make sure they don’t have the right to bring in workers and to exploit them.” bains said all the issues will be addressed when the bill arrives. “unlike the bC Liberals, who ignored it, we are not going to ignore it. Every worker deserves the same rights and protection.”

HELPING HANDS

A story of community, told in 2 letters As bobcat lay dying, many stopped to protect and comfort creature The Editor, I had an experience this evening that was both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

I was driving north on Johnson Street in Coquitlam when the traffic suddenly slowed. I leaned my head out the car window to see what the problem was, and there lay a bobcat, writhing in pain in the middle of the road, cars passing within inches of its poor, broken body.

Two young men were on the sidewalk, eyes riveted to the animal, one frantically signalling traffic away, the other talking animatedly on a cell phone.

I pulled my car up to within a few feet of the animal, hit my flashers and called out to the men; they told me that they had contacted the conservation office, which was sending help.

I left my car where it was to protect the bobcat from traffic in the northbound lane and,

as I exited my vehicle, a man on a motorcycle pulled up and parked his bike to shield the animal from the southbound traffic.

The bobcat had clearly sustained numerous, catastrophic injuries and yet was fighting so hard and courageously for life.

There was nothing we could do but wait, divert the traffic and try to soothe the bobcat with our voices.

Eventually, a Coquitlam city employee arrived. He put traffic cones out, and between us all we created a protective barrier around the animal. The Coquitlam employee made some calls and finally told us that the RCMP was being dispatched to assist.

I had a beach mat in my trunk, so we used that as a stretcher to move the bobcat onto the softer ground at the side of the road. Eventually, the RCMP arrived and took quick action to euthanize the cat.

I am writing this to say thank you to this group of wonderful and compassionate people whose names I do not know.

To curly headed young guy, to young guy with cellphone, to motorcycle guy, to very tall Coquitlam city guy, to all the people in their cars who patiently dealt with the disruption in traffic and called out their concerns, and to the RCMP officers who finally put the poor creature out of its pain and suffering.

You could have walked away, you could have gone back to the million and one important things that fill your schedules and consume your lives, but instead, you stopped and took the time to respond to a creature in pain, to do what you could to ease its suffering and speed it to a peaceful passage.

You touched my heart.

Thank you.

Rachel le Nobel, Coquitlam

Ron couldn’t stand up but almost nobody stopped to help him

The Editor, Yesterday, a human being was lying on the boulevard of the Esso station at the corner of Barnet Highway and Ioco Road. While waiting for the light to turn left onto Ioco from St. Johns Street, I watched the man get to his knees and fall back to the ground. He tried to raise himself up on his arms and fell back again.

No one stopped, no one noticed him struggle — or maybe they assumed he was a substance abuser. The gas station on the corner was busy. People crossing at the crosswalk coming and going to the transit station. It was as though he was invisible.

Traffic was heavy so a drive around the block was needed to get back to the Esso. He was still lying on the grass trying to get up. Too weak to even sit.

His name is Ron. Ron was discharged from Royal Columbian Hospital

earlier in the day and trying to make it home. He still had his hospital bracelet on. His strength ran out at this location after getting off the SkyTrain.

Frail, coherent, pale and softspoken, he told me he had called a friend to come after he fell. We waited together and, after a short while, a young man arrived to take Ron home.

This is my Port Moody. We stop and check on people when something looks amiss.

We help when our neighbours reach out. Our community is full of caring people.

Sadly, during this election season, tensions are running high. The negativity of the past few years regarding the future of our community is affecting many people. Despite that, this is who I am and what I believe is important. These are the small things I care deeply about.

Ultimately, the man on the boulevard is just as important, if not more so, than all the poli-

PORT COQUITLAM

Trees coming down at PoCo rec complex site Diane STranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Several large deciduous trees with pink ribbons tied around them next to the Port Coquitlam recreation complex construction are destined to come down in the next few weeks.

Some have huge canopies of colourful leaves and large trunks but need to come down because they are in the way of the new building footprint, are diseased or have poor structure because they were planted too close to hydro lines, according to the city.

“The tree bylaw does permit the removal of significant trees for construction of buildings,” stated Kristen Dixon, the city’s chief administrative officer in an email to The Tri-City News.

“Ventana Construction applied for and received a tree removal permit for the necessary work.”

Of the 146 trees on the site, as many as 122 have to be removed for the $132 million project, including an 18-metre tall Douglas Fir deemed too large to transplant. About half of the trees were felled in February in time for March construction.

The next phase of work will see the remaining trees taken down, however, the city will keep them standing as long as possible.

“The city recognizes the loss of trees will have a significant impact on the site until new trees are planted, and will leave the remaining trees standing as long as possible,” Dixon added.

For example, the cherry trees at the front of the library will remain until the existing Terry Fox Library is demolished.

The PoCo recreation centre property has been known as a showcase for a wide variety of trees, including cherry, maple, spruce, pine, holly, hazel, hawthorne, oak, cypress, magnolia, sequoia, sweetgum and London Plane. These trees were planted during the various stages of expansion and renovation of the existing buildings.

Thank you for this opportunity to serve you.

This large tree is one of a number slated to come down in the next few weeks to make way for construction of the new Port Coquitlam recreation complex. In all, 122 of 146 trees on the site have to be removed, with about half already felled, and 24 to be preserved. the removal of some large trees over the coming weeks. Tree removal is expected around the perimeter of the property and inside the construction area, with work taking place at the end of October.

And while they may disappear from the site, they won’t be discarded.

It’s possible some of the wood could be used for interior features, carving projects, outdoor kiosks, benches, interpretive signage posts, gazebo or split-rail fencing, educational materials, such as tree cookies or tree rings, and natural play features.

As well, some of the branches and trunks could also be chipped into mulch for parks and trails.

But the development of the new recreation centre required a major review by arbourists and park staff to see which trees could be saved. In the end, as many as 24 will be preserved, with seven left on the site and 17 relocated to other parks and properties.

New trees will also be planted as part of the project’s landscaping plan, still in development, on at least a onefor-one basis, although not all the trees will be placed on the recreation property. New trees that don’t fit on the site itself will be added to other city properties and parks, Dixon noted.

“The landscaping plan will ensure that the appropriate species are planted in the right locations on the site.”

Still, the public will witness

talking future of Fraser Mills Discussions held over what should go on 95-acre site Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

The Real Estate Institute of B.C. is hoping to deliver a treat to Coquitlam on Halloween with the latest plans for the massive redevelopment of the Fraser Mills site.

The non-profit organization is hosting a luncheon on Oct. 31 with Beedie Group director of residential development David Roppel discussing what is to be built on 95 acres along the Fraser River on what is currently industrial land.

The company originally announced the project in 2006. The latest plans revealed a year ago call for 4,700 homes, restaurants, shops, parks and trails once it’s completed. There are plans for 15 towers with the tallest being 38 to 41 storeys.

Those plans also include a multi-storey office building near the waterfront, while earlier proposals included a post-secondary education

facility and an elementary school. In addition, there was to be 3.5 acres for a public waterfront park, a community hub at the foot of King Edward Street, a 16-acre park system, a 40,000 sq. ft. public and recreation aquatic centre, a public pier and a plaza with restaurants and shops.

But, according to the city’s most recent current development applications report, Beedie Living’s most recent applications for zoning changes, official community plan amendments and a development agreement, filed in December 2016, have not made it past the application stage.

The site dates back to the turn of the 20th century providing employment for more than 1,000 people at one time. Many of the mill’s workers were francophones who established Maillardville. The mill closed in 2001.

• The luncheon will be held at the Executive Plaza Hotel (405 North Rd.) from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Tickets are $45 for members and $75 for non-members.

B.C. INFORMATION SUMMIT

Expert warns about government secrecy Truth fosters faith in institutions, Holman says JErEmy HainswortH Glacier SyndicaTed

A lack of truthful information is eroding people’s faith in political institutions and contributing to a rise in authoritarian governments and can be countered by greater government openness and accountability, says an expert on freedom of information.

“Information inspires confidence,” former B.C. journalist Sean Holman, now a journalism professor at Calgary’s Mount Royal University, told delegates Sept. 27 at the B.C. Information Summit 2018 in Vancouver. “The lack of openness inhibits it.”

And, he explained, that decline in confidence creates a need for certainty.

“Demand for certainty may be behind the rise of authoritarianism and the fall of democracy,” Holman said.

Holman said the decline of democracy through the lack of truth can be reversed if governments are “exposed to the

SEAN HOLMAN naked eye of citizens.”

“The increase in the size of government has led to an increase in secrecy,” he said.

Holman, a long-time user of freedom of information laws in his former career as a B.C. journalist, called information “an instrument of control.”

He stressed the need for ease of public access to government information.

“It is important people be aware of the fact and find out the information for action,” he said.

However, Holman said, governments are resistant to calls for greater transparency.

“Elected officials often believe they have the right to hold or withhold information,” Holman said.

He said the same often holds

true for corporations.

“If we cannot control these corporations and government, we no longer live in a democracy,” Holman said.

He said information allows people to make informed decisions — both in political and consumer choices. And, Holman asked, could Hitler and Stalin have maintained their dictatorships without controlling information?

He said people are motivated to gather information when they become aware of a gap in their knowledge.

Those gaps can leave feelings of deprivation, Holman said. It’s when those gaps are filled that people get certainty, he said. It was such a gap that Hitler filled during the period of uncertainty following the First World War and the Depression, Holman said.

“From an emotional standpoint, information does not have to be something that is truthful. Instead, information can be something that provides certainty. As we know more, we come to know more about what gaps need to be filled.”

Further compounding citizens’ unease about government is its size. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Home sales take a dive Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Metro Vancouver housing has become a buyers market in the last few months, including the Tri-Cities, according to numbers released by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) last week.

The board’s September statistics show there was a 43.5% drop in sales from September 2017 and a 17.3% decrease from August. Listings, however, are up 38.2% from a year ago and 10.7% from August.

“Fewer home sales are allowing listings to accumulate and prices to ease across the Metro Vancouver housing market,” said Ashley Smith, REBGV president-elect in a press release. “There’s more selection for home buyers to choose from today. Since spring, home listing totals have risen to levels we haven’t seen in our market in four years.”

The Port Coquitlam market appears to be dropping more than its Tri-City neighbours.

The composite benchmark in PoCo was $772,000 in September, a decrease of 2.4% from August and 5.1% from May. The average single family home went for $984,500, which was down 2.3% in the past month and 4.4% from three months ago. The townhouse benchmark dropped to $660,000, which is a monthly decrease of 1.1% and a threemonth decline of 4%. A condo cost $457,000, 3% less than August and 6.5% below May’s benchmark.

There were a total of 72 residential sales in PoCo in both September and August with 164 listings in September and 145 in August.

In Coquitlam, the composite benchmark price for all residences was $960,000, which was 1.9% less than in August and a 2.5% drop from May. The single-family detached benchmark dipped 1.6% in the last month and 2.2% in the last three to $1.285 million.

The townhouse benchmark came in at $686,000, a drop of 0.6% from August and 3.7% from May, while a condo was $537,000, down 2.7% in the last month and 2.6% in the last three months.

Coquitlam had 451 listings in September with only 130 sales compared to 182 sales and 362 listings in August.

The composite benchmark of $958,000 in Port Moody was only 1% less than it was in August. The single-family benchmark in PoMo was $1.5 million, down 1.6% from August and 3.1% from May. The townhouse price of $676,000 was a one-month decrease of 1.7%, but only a 1.4% three-month drop. The condo benchmark only went down 0.4% from August, but that’s 4.7% less than May. Listings leaped in Port Moody from 55 in August to 115 in September with 34 sales that month compared to 29 the previous month.

“Metro Vancouver’s housing market has changed pace compared to the last few years,” Smith said.

VOTESMART/18: #CQvotes2018

Candidate says city mail Inclusion is about package was misleading open doors, minds & hearts Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam council candidate is upset with the recent mail-out of election brochures by the city because he said it made it look like he had withdrawn from the race.

Paul Lambert chose not to purchase the service because of the cost but when it landed on his doorstep, he was upset, saying the city didn’t make it clear he and eight other candidates had not participated.

The mail-out had a stark front that only said “City of Coquitlam 2018 General Local Election Candidate Brochures.”

Lambert claimed the labelling gave the impression the bag contained flyers for all mayoral, council and school trustee candidates, causing several supporters to call him asking if he had withdrawn.

“It just looks like you’re not running,” said Lambert.

“There’s not a single sentence anywhere that says there’s not all the candidates there, and that’s a huge mistake. It could have a huge impact on the election, almost a total impact. I’m a reasonable guy, but this is serious. Perception is reality,” he told The Tri-City News.

Information on the mail-out, which the city has been doing every election since 2005, was

included in the city’s nomination package, which was available to anyone interested in running for office since July 27.

In an email to The TriCity News, Sean O’Melinn, Coquitlam’s legislative services manager and deputy chief election officer, pointed out that package included a city brochure listing all the candidates and providing the coquitlam. ca/vote website as a place to go for more information on all of the candidates.

The mail-out went to all Coquitlam homes, even ones in which residents have opted out of receiving unaddressed mail because the mail-out is considered government mail. The city also gets a preferential rate from Canada Post.

The nomination package estimated the cost for a mail-out of 20 brochures would be $1,917 per candidate. As it turned out, 20 brochures for mayoral, council and school trustee candidates were distributed. Nine chose not to participate, including six council candidates: Lambert, Ian Soutar, Devan Robertson, Massimo Mandarino, Geoff Hunt and Nicola Spurling.

(Candidates Robert Mazzarolo and Darryl Stickler submitted a joint brochure). All those running for reelection participated.

“It’s unbelievably biased to incumbents,” said Lambert.

To be included ,the candidates were required to provide 53,000 one-page, letter-sized brochures to the printers by Sept. 18, four days after the close of nominations. Lambert said the lowest quotes he received were between $6,000 and $7,000. Since he didn’t decide to run for office until August, there wasn’t enough time to raise the money, he said, especially with new rules limiting a candidate’s personal contribution to $2,400.

Lambert elected to get 30,000 half-page brochures printed, which he said “cut the costs down enormously.” He and his volunteers delivered them to single-family homes and townhouses. His goal was to have 10,000 delivered by the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, with another 10,000 each over the last two weeks.

If he gets elected, Lambert said he would ask council to require the package clearly state not all candidate brochures are included. If he doesn’t get elected, he said he would start a petition calling for the change the next day.

“I’m not going to let it go,” Lambert vowed. “It has to be clear to voters. The city is sending out partisan information and unless they [say which candidates aren’t included] clearly it can skew the election.”

Community Inclusion has come a long way since we opened our doors in 1978. During that time, we have seen inclusion grow in all aspects of our community and the desire for inclusion to continue to improve and grow is evident throughout the Tri-Cities.

Working is one of the best ways in achieving inclusion to ensure that people are included in our economic system as workers, consumers and taxpayers. As important, workplaces are social systems where it is very likely that people will make friends and develop relationships and that provides social inclusion. From our experience in the community, employers in the Tri-Cities are looking to build inclusive organizations not only for the benefit of the individuals we serve but also because it makes business sense. It has been proven time and again that employers who hire individuals with disabilities enjoy lower employee turnover, excellent job performance, low absenteeism rates, increased innovation and attract a larger customer base. wee h have range off IIn n 2018, w ave sseen een a ra nge o examples off in inclusion here exa mples o clusion rright ight h ere Tri-Cities.

Youths have ’til Sun. to write something truly terrifying Oct. 21 deadline for annual Scary Story Contest

Halloween is two weeks today and TriCity youths aged 11 to 18 can join the annual Scary Story Contest for a chance to win prizes and see their names in print — and the deadline is this weekend.

The contest, as in past years, is put on

by Coquitlam and Port Moody public libraries, and is sponsored by The Tri-City News.

To participate in the contest, local kids must write a terrifying tale and submit it; then, a panel of judges will award first-, second- and third-place prizes to the three best entries in each of two age categories: 11 to 14 and 15 to 18 years.

Rules for the contest are as follows: • Each entry must be no longer than 500 words.

• Writers must live or go to school in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore or Belcarra.

• Writers who submit entries must be no younger than 11 and no older than 18 on the entry deadline date of Oct. 21.

• Writers must include the following three words in their stories: gruesome, ululating and ichor. Stories that do not include all three words will be disqualified.

• Each writer must include his or her name, age, phone number and city of residence when they submit an entry. If your city of residence is outside the TriCities, make sure to include the name of the Tri-Cities school that you attend.

• Writers must email their entries — as a Word attachment, a PDF or in the body of the message — to scarystorycontest2018@gmail.com no later than Sunday, Oct. 21.

Winners in each age category will receive prizes worth $50 (first), $30 (second) and $20 (third). Some entries will also be published in The Tri-City News around Halloween. Full contest details are on the Coquitlam Public Library and Port Moody Public Library web sites.

EATING LOCALLY

Check out the bounty of baked goods MARKET FRESH

O

ne more week to go before the Coquitlam Farmers Market moves down the hill and morphs into the Port Moody Farmers Market. Until then, there is still much available to make your fall cooking and eating as local as possible.

This time of year, we tend to want comforting foods, rich with flavour and weight. No more light and crisp salads or barbecue — give me gravy and potatoes and roasted veggies.

Thankfully, when you eat seasonally and locally, those types of meals are easy to prepare. If you have a slow cooker, it’s even easier. One of my favourite slow cooker recipes is nothing more than peeling and cubing fall veggies such as squash, golden beets, parsnips and potatoes, placing them in the slow cooker with some tomatoes for the liquid, a bit of vegetable broth and some garam masala from

Amazing foods (you could also add a can of chickpeas, if you like). Turn the slow cooker on low and let it go — six hours later, you have a delicious veggie stew. Serve it with some crusty bread and cheese, and you are good to go.

And speaking of bread, do you know how many wonderful bakers we have at the Coquitlam market?

Gesundheit’s familiar yellow trailer carries a wide variety of goods, from pretzel cheese sticks (my favourite) through naturally leavened breads and lovely sweets. Apple strudel, anyone?

Bread Affair is the organic choice for the market. All its breads are made using only organic flour — Bread Affair actually grows some of the wheat itself. The Marquis bread is made from wheat it grows in Abbotsford and its Love at First Bite is made using B.C. blueberries and Hazelnuts. Love at First Bite was the bread that hooked me on the bakery from the start.

Sweet Thea has stepped into the bread business, too. Aside from bringing all its lovely cookies to market, Thea has been experimenting with wonderful peasant-style breads — they are fabulous and it’s possible to eat an entire loaf.

Cascadia Bakehouse is a fairly recent addition to the

market scene. The creative duo behind this bakery bring some unique baking to market.

Inspired by the abundance of the Cascades, they combine flavours that reflect the diversity and seasonality of our area. They source many of their ingredients directly from other market farmers. Katie and Marco shared the history of one of their items, the Financier, one of my favourites.

A small, almond-based cake, their Financier is flavoured with brown butter that originated from the Visitandine order of nuns. Typically, the cake is made to resemble a small bar of gold, hence the name. The cake later became popular in the financial district of Paris as business people could easily eat them without making a mess on their suits or if need be, stored away for later without being damaged. Who knew?

Kizzy’s Macarons have become a much-loved staple at market. Her stall is a visual rainbow of colour on our dreary, rainy days and her macarons taste darn good.

Samaya Delights are another regular that have gained quite a following. All of Tamara’s treats are vegetarian and many are vegan. Try her turmeric muffin — I believe this is the best muffin I have ever eaten and, with its healthy dose of

turmeric, it is good for you, too.

Little Hands Cakes and Cookies makes really flavourful cupcakes and other treats, and you can often find themed delights there, too. Oh Sweet Day! creates the best little cheesecakes, perfectly sized for sharing, Or not. Do have a look at Fanny’s brand new cookbook.

We are so proud of her.

Three new bakers are joining us this winter season. If you are a fan of croissants, make sure you visit Sebastian at Ca Croustille. They sell out regularly and it’s no wonder. Try the double baked chocolate almond croissant.

Balkan Bites make eastern European-style cookies, bars and various other treats, from favourite family recipes. I’m sure looking forward to trying them.

Lastly, Gooba Bakes will be with us this winter with its traditional Taiwanese pineapple cakes. It has a sweet and tart pineapple filling enveloped in a buttery shortbread crust.

Gooba Bake’s pineapple cakes are made from scratch with fresh pineapple just like the cakes their grandmother made. I love pineapple and can’t wait to taste these.

NHL

Coquitlam’s Street scores first 2 goals It took NHL journeyman eight years to score his first goal

Melodie Kinsey and Greg Zeitler, the co-owners of CrossFit CBC, encourage Special Olympian Devon Marsland as he works out on the rowing machine to prepare for Saturday’s marathon workout event at the gym to raise money for Special Olympics.

CROSSFIT MARATHON

Sweat for Special Olympians Cross-Canada event raises heart rates and money MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

On Saturday, Devon Marsland will channel his inner Iron Man to lift some iron.

The Special Olympian will be among dozens of athletes lifting, squatting, rowing, crunching and climbing at CrossFit CBC in Coquitlam in a marathon of workouts to raise money for Special Olympics.

This is the first time CrossFit CBC is participating in the effort by fitness centres across Canada, which is in its seventh year. Co-owner Melodie Kinsey said it’s a good fit with her gym’s commitment to give back to the community it’s been a part of for more than three years.

It’s also a constructive way to scratch the competitive itch

of CrossFit athletes who like to measure their performances against their own personal achievements as well as others, Kinsey said. Of the more than 30 gyms across the country registered for the fitness marathon CrossFit CBC ranked fourth in fundraising as of Wednesday.

Kinsey said the marathon workout will last six hours, during which participants will take on various challenges that last 10 minutes like swinging heavy kettle balls, doing push-ups and burpees, rowing, squatting and powerlifting weights.

And then there’s the “bear complex,” a gruelling test of strength and endurance during which the athlete can’t put the barbell they’re hoisting for a series of lifts onto the ground for the duration of their 10-minute workout.

Kinsey said getting through that physical challenge is as much a test of mental fortitude.

“You have to fight through it,” she said.

Marsland, who recently started adding CrossFit training to his workout regime that prepares him to compete in Special Olympics sports like basketball, soccer, bowling, cardio as well as track and field, said he doesn’t expect to be challenging any of the “bear complex” athletes.

But he’ll be working up a sweat on Saturday on the rowing machine, hoisting kettle balls and weights, and maybe even doing a little rope climbing. He said the rugged exercise makes him feel invincible, like his favourite superheroes from The Avengers and the Power Rangers.

“It’s way cool to be able to try the equipment,” Marsland said.

Kinsey said enthusiasm for the marathon has been building over the past month with several fundraising events at the gym, including one in which patrons were able to purchase workouts Kinsey and her partner, Greg Zeitler, then had to do.

And while a certain amount of masochism came into play, Kinsey said it was all in good fun.

“It’s a really positive environment,” she said.

Zeitler said he expects over the course of Saturday’s workout marathon, participants will hoist more than 100,000 pounds of iron.

That’s a lot of weight, even by superhero standards, Marsland said.

But the fact the athletes will be doing it so he and other Special Olympians can attend competitions and further their own training makes the marathon extra special.

“I can have strength and help people too,” he said.

• CrossFit CBC is located at 1-2731 Barnet Hwy. in Coquitlam.

Saturday’s workout marathon begins at 8 a.m. and spectators as well as registered participants are welcome. To register, pledge a workout or find out more about the event, go to www.cf24.ca

Coquitlam’s Ben Street is on a scoring tear for the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks.

The 31-year-old forward, who played his junior hockey for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the BC Hockey League, scored his second goal of the season — and his NHL career — last Sunday against the St. Louis Blues.

Street tipped a shot from the point by Ducks defenceman Josh Manson that eluded Blues goaltender Chad Johnson.

The third-period goal tied the game 2-2 and Andrew Cogliano was able to score the game winner for the Ducks with five minutes left in regulation time.

Street’s game-tying goal was less than a week after he scored the first goal of his NHL career on Oct. 10.

To say it’s taken the journeyman hockey player a while to find his scoring touch would be an understatement.

In the eight seasons since Street graduated from the University of Wisconsin Badgers in 2010, he’s played a total of 39 NHL games.

And until last Wednesday, Street, who was signed last July to a one-year, $750,000 contract by the Anaheim Ducks in the off-season, had yet to see his name in a game summary as a goal scorer.

In the second period of a game in Anaheim against

the Arizona Coyotes, Street picked up a stretch pass just outside the Coyotes’ blueline then wired a wrist shot from the faceoff circle that beat goalie Antti Raanta over his right shoulder.

“I looked to see if anyone was with me,” Street said after the game. “And when no one was there, I wasn’t in a great spot to beat him far side. I tried to make him go down a little bit and try to beat him upstairs. That’s how it worked out.”

The second-period goal tied the game 2-2. And while the Ducks went on to suffer their first loss of the season, 3-2, in a shootout, Street told the Orange County Register it was an exciting moment in his career.

“I played a long time and you don’t feel legit until scoring in the NHL,” said the six-foot centre whose career alighted briefly with four NHL teams— the Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings and his current employer — but mostly landed him in minor league outposts like WilkesBarre, Penn., Abbotsford, Cleveland, San Antonio and Grand Rapids, Mich.

In 428 games in the American Hockey League he scored 144 goals.

Street, who was never drafted into the NHL, was the rookie of year in the ECHL in his first season as a pro.

In 2014, when Street was with the Abbotsford Heat, he was selected to play in the AHL’s annual All-Star Classic. He also managed to set a league record with teammate Steve McCarthy for scoring the fastest two consecutive goals when they scored three seconds apart.
