Dead bear is the point Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-cITy NEwS

Kyra Gregory and her mom, Amber, are stewards of this Little Free Library at Wellington Park in Port Coquitlam. They are disappointed that vandals burned the book kiosk on the night organizers of the project were celebrating their accomplishments. Plans are in the works to repair and refill the library with donated books and the Gregorys are asking the community to keep an eye out for this library and five others being installed by the United Way-funded Avenues of Change community project. Story, page 3.

LACROSSE LEGEND IS REMEMBERED Les wingrove, a longtime Coquitlam coach and manager, as well as a hall of famer, died last Friday: obituary, page 7

A fed bear is a dead bear.

And the city of Coquitlam is hoping one of the latter that may also be one of the former will help it get that message out to city hall visitors.

A permanent display of a suspected “garbage bear” will go up as early as next week.

The black bear, which at the time it died was about eight years old and weighed 600 lb., was hit by a vehicle off Chilko Drive in October 2016.

Two days later, due to its injuries and inability to leave the neighbourhood, it was euthanized by the provincial Conservation Officer Service.

Its remains were given to the Katzie First Nation, which used the fat for ceremonial purposes, and the pelt was handed over to the city.

Monday, Jozsef Dioszeghy, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering and public works, told councilin-committee the bruin was believed to be a “garbage bear” — meaning it was habituated to trash left out by neighbourhood residents. see ‘TACKY’, page 19

Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

A year after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, it’s the simple pleasures like going for walks and holding hands that bring happiness to Sally Hoag and her partner of 47 years, Brent Hoag.

As the past begins to slip away, Brent says, the present takes on greater importance.

On May 6, the Hoags will walk together at one of 23 Investors Group Walks for Alzheimer’s being held across the province. The Tri-Cities’ walk begins at 3:15 p.m. at the Port Moody civic centre (100 Newport Dr.). All proceeds go to the Alzheimer Society of BC for support programs and research into the disease, which affects 564,000 Canadians — with that number expected to reach 937,000 in 15 years.

Looking back, Brent said, there were signs of Sally’s illness a year before they sought a diagnosis. She’d forget appointments and get confused in the middle of conversations.

But it was when she got lost while driving home one day that suggested something more than just old age might be to blame.

Sally stopped driving and Brent started researching.

“It’s a departure from the norm when you’ve known someone for so long,” said Brent, who first approached the family doctor on his own

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Brent and Sally Hoag take time to enjoy simple pleasures like going for walks together, a year after Sally was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. about his fears for Sally’s failing memory. “It’s the elephant in the room.”

When Sally’s score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a widely used screening test for cognitive impairment, indicated the possible onset of Alzheimer’s, Brent sought a referral to the Centre for Brain Health at the University of British Columbia,

a world leader in research for brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Brent was no longer just Sally’s husband, he was her advocate.

After a day-long series of tests, including an MRI and interviews, Alzheimer’s was confirmed.

The diagnosis was devastating, Brent said.

“You go a little... deaf once you hear the word.”

Sally said she was upset, but not overly surprised. Her father had Alzheimer’s and a family history increases the risk factor for developing the disease.

But as difficult as it was to break the news to the couple’s four children and four grandchildren, the diagnosis was also liberating, Brent said.

Instead of worrying about it, they could deal with it.

“Knowledge is power,” he said.

They connected with counsellors from the Alzheimer Society and began participating in courses and discussion groups. Brent sought out research programs at UBC, not so much to deal with Sally’s diagnosis but to offer hope for

those who might get diagnosed in the future.

“We’re realistic enough,” Brent said.

The Hoags also decided to move from their longtime home in Coquitlam to be closer to their children and grandchildren in Langley.

Sally said a lot of the time, she feels normal, but Brent has taken over many of the household responsibilities. He said it’s a fine balancing act between doing what’s required to keep Sally active and safe while still allowing her dignity and self-respect.

“You have to take a stand to not let the disease rob you of happiness,” he said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

LITTLE LIBRARIES

Burned library won’t dissuade supporters Vandals torched tiny book ‘house’ in a PoCo park Diane StranDBerg The Tri-CiTy News

Sometimes it’s the little things that get a community fired up.

In this case, it was the burning of a Little Free Library last week that has sparked Port Coquitlam neighbours to action.

Amber Gregory and her daughter Kyra, a Grade 9 stu-

dent at Kwayhquitlum middle school, have received offers of help and books to ensure the little book house they painted and stocked with reading material is once again open for business.

Up just a month as part of a community project initiated by the United Way-funded Avenues of Change, the woodframed tiny library was torched April 23 after vandals used the books as kindling.

The blackened, charred interior of the little library stands in stark contrast to the colourfully painted exterior, and you can clearly see the spray-painted tag

of the individual who did the damage.

“I was really devastated when I heard about it,” said Kyra, who with her mom painted the library in bright colours with images of forest animals, fish, balloons, trees and flowers.

“We wanted to paint it so the children and adults would enjoy reading books,” Kyra told The Tri-City News.

The library, at Wellington Park, is one of six being installed in various locations in Port Coquitlam to promote literacy and build a sense of community. Called the Vulnerability to Village project, the initiative is a

collaboration between Avenues of Change, Irvine elementary and Port Coquitlam Heritage Society.

Built by PoCo Building Supplies and installed by the city, the libraries sit on poles that have been decorated by artwork from Irvine kindergarten students and historic images contributed by PoCo Heritage.

Other libraries are going up on Grant Avenue and at Aggie Park, Irvine school, Elks Park and Norm Staff Park, and all are looked after by stewards, such as the Gregorys, who hope that bringing the vandalism to people’s attention will encourage

area residents to take ownership and protect the libraries.

Navreen Gill, the initiative’s coordinator, said people have come forth with offers of help since the vandalism occurred and she said the little library will be repaired and replaced.

“It was neat to see how we can come together and make it a positive,” Gill said, adding: “This is a place where people can connect and gather.”

The heavily wooded park has historically been a problem area but neighbours have been cleaning up the underbrush, collecting couches, mattresses and other furniture while Avenues

of Change volunteers have collected litter along with what appear to be items left over from criminal activity, such as a passport, drug paraphernalia and buckets of stolen copper wire.

Kyra, who has been a volunteer at the park for several months, hopes the little free library will be reinstalled soon so the area can be a place where people will stay a while, get to know one another and maybe even read to each other.

“There are children who want to read,” she said. “This makes it possible for them.”

Charges against two drivers in fatal MVA Lougheed Hwy. crash in April ’17 claimed 3 lives DiAne strAnDberg the tri-city news

A year after a crash on Lougheed Highway killed a woman and two young cousins, a Port Coquitlam man and a Surrey man have been charged.

Coquitlam RCMP say investigators spent the months gathering details about the accident that occurred April 28, 2017 at about 6:15 p.m. At the time, three cars collided on Lougheed Highway just north of Pitt River Road in Coquitlam.

A three-year-old girl, a nineyear-old girl, who were cousins, and a 30-year old woman, did not survive.

“Our goal was always to provide the most complete and accurate version of events to Crown counsel,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin in a press release. “We spoke with victims, witnesses, experts in digital data retrieval and vehicle manufacturers to gather every possible piece of evidence. We only hope this provides the victims’ families some measure of closure.”

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” Ella Reese Hernandez, 9, and her three-year-old cousin, Tyler Mollie Wong Hernandez, died in a crash April 28, 2017.

After a review of the police investigation, one count of driving without due care and attention has been laid against Hamed Darbarpar, 20, of PoCo. As well, Adam Goulding of Surrey is facing one count of driving without due care and attention.

The charge against Goulding was approved by the Crown last week and the charge against Darbarpar was announced this week after further review of the evidence.

Neither man has been arrested and both will appear in court at a later date via summons.

For the charges, a minimum

fine at the scene is $368 with a maximum of six months in jail and/or $2,000 fine through the courts, said McLaughlin.

“It’s going to proceed by traffic court as opposed to the more criminal court,” McLaughlin told The Tri-City News.

After the accident, a crowdfunding page was set up for the families of the two deceased girls: nine-year-old Ella Reese Hernandez and her three-yearold cousin, Tyler Mollie Wong Hernandez; it raised more than $78,000.

MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

Smile!

Coquitlam puts temp. hold on cannabis biz Proposed cannabis regulations brought forward last week by Port Coquitlam MLA and B.C. Solicitor General Mike Farnworth prompted Coquitlam council this week to temporarily halt cannabisrelated uses in the city.

After a public hearing Monday, council unanimously voted to give final reading to Bylaw 4865, which stops the sale, distribution and production of recreational marijuana until the federal and provincial

policies are adopted.

The ban also gives city staff more time to consult with residents about how they want non-medical weed used in the community.

Marijuana legalization is expected to be in place this summer.

Coquitlam’s public hearing drew one speaker — the former BC Green Party candidate for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, Ian Soutar — who talked about grow ops in his hometown of

THE COURTS

Another court date set in case of piano teacher A Coquitlam piano teacher who is alleged to have committed sexual assault against three former students will have his file returned to court later this month.

Monday, the lawyer for Dmytro ‘Dmitri’ Kubyshkin was at Port Coquitlam provincial court to address the criminal matters; he’ll be back Friday, May 18.

According to Coquitlam RCMP, the offences happened at the students’ homes between 1998 and 2015. Publication bans prohibit their names from being released and from information about the court case being disclosed.

Other court news: Criminal charges were dropped last week against an Abbotsford man who failed to disclose his HIVpositive status to women, including at least one in Coquitlam.

Brian Carlisle was facing 12 counts of aggravated sex assault for offences that also happened in Mission, Abbotsford and Burnaby.

Police said the 48-yearold man failed to disclose the illness to his sexual partners; however, his viral load was “undetectable” — meaning he couldn’t transmit the virus through sexual contact, Crown counsel said.

Chilliwack and the need for future health programs.

Currently, only medical marijuana is allowed to be grown in M2 industrial zones in Coquitlam.

Along with the interim prohibition, the bylaw also changes the city’s definition from marijuana to cannabis — a broader term, city planner Chris McBeath told council — and bans medical grow ops on agricultural land.

OBITUARY: LES WINGROVE, 1944-2018

‘He wanted us to do it the right way’ Lacrosse legend remembered as ‘wonderful man’ Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

To tell the story of Les Wingrove’s life is to tell a story of lacrosse in Coquitlam over the last four decades.

But the longtime player, coach, manager, executive and member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame — who passed away suddenly late last Friday at the age of 74 — was about much more than the sport that was his life’s passion, said Coquitlam Coun. Chris Wilson.

“He was just such a wonderful man who wanted to make a difference in his community,” said Wilson, who worked with Wingrove to build displays to honour the athletes, coaches and builders honoured in the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame.

In fact, Wilson said, it was Wingrove’s idea to put the hall of fame into the lobby of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, where those displays were passed by an estimated 1.4 million people last year — almost five times more than visit the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto annually.

“He wanted to put it in an area where there’s a constant flow of people,” Wilson said. “It

provides some inspiration and motivation for young athletes and gives them role models.”

Wingrove’s role in the formation of Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse, his work as a coach for seven teams from tyke to midget, as well as an official, and a two-year term as its president, helped instil in many of those young athletes a love for the game.

Some of those even followed as Wingrove rose through the ranks to the Coquitlam Junior Adanacs of the BC Junior A Lacrosse League and then the senior team in the Western Lacrosse Association.

Port Moody’s Ken Thomas had Wingrove as his coach all the way from when he was 11 years old through his junior career with the Adanacs from 1985 to ’88, and again when Thomas came out of retirement in 2001 with the senior team that won a Mann Cup. “Les wanted us to do our best, achieve our best, but he wanted us to do it the right way,” said Thomas, who’s also in the lacrosse hall of fame. “He was a father figure to a lot of the guys.”

Another hall of famer, Pat Coyle, said it was Wingrove’s persistence that convinced him to move west from Ontario, where he’d won Mann Cups with the Brampton Excelsiors in 1992 and 1993. see WINGROVE, next page

Les Wingrove, who died late Friday, was synonymous with lacrosse in Coquitlam for four decades — as a coach at all levels and as a manager of the Junior and Senior Adanacs.

In 2003, he was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. He was also instrumental in the creation of the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame, located in the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

OBITUARY: LES WINGROVE, 1944-2018

Wingrove ‘respected by everyone’: Wilson continued from page 7

“He was relentless,” said Coyle of the telephone pitches that continued even as he set the phone down to go to the washroom, then returned to still hear Wingrove trying to woo him.

When Coyle finally relented and joined the Adanacs in 1994, he was quickly absorbed into Wingrove’s way of doing things, including a raucous annual party for the team at his home.

“We’d destroy his backyard and he’d just be smiling as we did it,” said Coyle, who now coaches the Junior Adanacs.

Todd Clerkson, the principal at Heritage Woods secondary school in Port Moody and a former player with the junior and senior Adanacs, said Wingrove had a knack for turning boys into upstanding young men.

“He was constantly encouraging,” Clerkson said. “He was one of those guys who was very positive, and I needed that in my early 20s.”

James Abbott, the president of the Jr. A’s, who helped bring Wingrove back into the team’s fold in 2012 after he was dismissed from his position as the general manager of the

“He knew everything, he’d experienced everything and you could always tap into it,” Abbott said. “He was definitely a mentor to me.”

Wilson said the death in 2010 of Wingrove’s son, Trevor Wingrove, hit him hard and he thought by working together on the hall of fame displays, he might be able to help fill a bit of that hole in Les’ heart.

“I got just as much out of it if not more,” Wilson said. “That’s just the kind of guy he was.”

Abbott said Wingrove’s legacy and spirit will be felt every time a player of any age pulls on an Adanacs jersey and their loved ones cheer from the stands.

COQUITLAM

Parks work could bring new city staff City to consider a new works crew

SpeAk Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page.

Janis Cleugh

The Tri-CiTy News

The rising cost to hire outside tradespeople — and their ability to get the job done on time and within budget — may result in Coquitlam forming its own parks construction crew next year.

Monday, the city’s councilin-committee heard from Raul Allueva, general manager of parks, recreation and culture services, about the desire to start an in-house team to meet demand.

Coquitlam’s plate is full for parks renewal, Allueva said, with tennis courts being updated, parking lots repaved, pedestrian bridges built, older neighbourhood parks “blitzed,” sports field turfs replaced, paths repaired and playgrounds modernized, among other things.

And with the current building boom in Metro Vancouver — with construction tenders set to rise between 5% and 8% a year — Allueva told the committee it might be time to look at bringing the work in-house with a dedicated parks team to get the

COUN. CRAIG HODGE smaller projects completed.

He’s expected to bring a business case for such a team before the next financial plan deliberations in the fall.

If approved, it would be the second committed construction crew for Coquitlam, Allueva said.

In 2013, the engineering department formed its own team as a pilot project; two years later, it was made permanent and now has six members who almost work exclusively on water main projects, said Jozsef Dioszeghy, general manager of engineering and public works.

Coun. Craig Hodge told the committee he likes the concept of a dedicated parks unit as it would have “more pride and ownership” than outside la-

bour and “be good for morale.”

Hodge also pointed out the parks department’s projected $1.2-million annual shortfall in the 2018-’22 parks infrastructure plan, much of it going to recruiting construction staff.

Coun. Brent Asmundson also warned the parks department has to tighten its spending as the city will soon be losing its annual $350,000 grant from federal gas tax revenues.

City manager Peter Steblin said a new parks crew “can be done very cost-effectively” but Coun. Terry O’Neill questioned the increasing growth rate of local government.

This year, to address the parks backlog, council approved an increase to the annual capital funding for parks renewal from $480,000 to $1.5 million, bringing the total to $3.4 million. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

PORT MOODY

No park pop-ups on old fire hall site Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News

The old fire hall site at the corner of Ioco Road and Murray Street in Port Moody will remain empty after a majority of city council rejected a motion last week by Coun. Rob Vagramov to program the property with community events like a pop-up picnic park, petting zoo, outdoor movie nights or public gardens.

Vagramov said until residents get a chance to have their say on the fate of the property in a referendum to be held in conjunction with civic elections Oct. 20, “the land just shouldn’t sit there in a dilapidated state.”

At its meeting April 8, council decided to put the brakes on the city’s application to rezone and redesignate the property, which includes the former fire hall site as well as the public works yard a little further west on Murray Street from public institution to mixed comprehensive development. That would have paved the way for the property to be subdivided and then sold off to developers to build a high-density neighbourhood of condos and offices, as well as possible public amenities such as a new library

The empty lot where the old Port Moody fire hall used to sit will remain empty until a decision about its future is made. or seniors housing.

Instead, council elected to defer its decision on whether to approve the proposal until after the referendum vote.

Until that time, Vagramov proposed, the high-profile lot that sits adjacent to Port Moody’s civic centre and across from the Newport Village and Suter Brook Village developments could be activated for short-term uses.

“I think it would be great to use this site while we come up with a plan,” he said.

But Coun. Diana Dilworth said the location at the corner

of one of the city’s busiest intersections would present safety and liability concerns.

“Parents would never bring their kids to a park at that location because of safety,” she said. “Getting in and out would cause chaos.”

Coun. Meghan Lahti cautioned there’s no such thing as a “temporary park,” suggesting there are other underutilized spaces in the city, like the Queen’s Street plaza, that could be programmed to add vibrancy to community life.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

How to decide on pols’ pay L

ower Mainland mayors did the right thing. Now it’s time to take a broader look at how politicians’ pay packages are determined. at their meeting last friday, Metro vancouver board members, including the region’s mayors, gave up a 15% pay hike that would have offset federal tax changes while a retroactive retirement allowance — widely opposed by the public — was also nixed, bringing sanity back to the board office.

This is good news, made only better by the fact that Metro vancouver will also now establish an independent panel to review directors’ salaries and benefits.

This sort of thing has been tried at the municipal level with DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

some success, with citizen committees and other third-party groups making recommendations instead of bureaucrats and their elected bosses. but if the independent body only makes recommendations, then politicians will still ultimately vote on their own pay.

Yes, an independent body puts distance between the politicians and their remuneration, but is that enough?

Maybe it’s time the provincial government stepped in and set a framework for politicians’ pay that is fair and recognizes the work inherent in public service based on the size of a city or school district.

Similar to how legislation governs how much money politicians can spend per capita

TC

at election time, the formula could put a fair dollar to the work city councils and school boards do that would eliminate some of the guesswork and disparities. one example is School district level, where trustees responsible for b.C.’s third largest school district are paid more than their counterparts responsible for two larger districts. (a further problem with Sd43 trustees’ pay is that it is tied to that of city councillors in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody — though not the much lower-paid village councillors in anmore and belcarra — and there is no way the work load of a trustee is comparable to meeting and reading requirements of a city councillor.)

Provincial oversight would respect the importance and size of city and school budgets, staff and decision-making responsibilities rather than time spent at community events or on social media; for example, cities with lots of growth and development whose councils have to make difficult decisions would be paid more than those that have smaller, less demanding portfolios.

Instead, the pay is more often tied to private sector management packages on the belief that such a scheme will attract better candidates, even some with executive experience.

It’s time for a change and a simple formula based on population and growth may be a better system.

While Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore (above right) was a public face of the Metro Vancouver board vote to give members a retroactive pension payout, he, along with Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart (above left) and Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay voted last Friday to reverse the decision and eliminate a planned pay increase for Metro board members.

TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE

BEARS

Pay attention to the other Bears, but no B.C. polluting industries locks in PoCo The Editor, This letter is neither an endorsement nor a condemnation of the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline twinning but an attempt to point out the glaring hypocrisy of our government, the protestors and even our prime minister.

While we myopically focus on this pipeline project, there are a couple of other industries in our province that have the potential or have already caused some environmental disasters.

Roberts Bank, the seventh largest coal terminal in the world, ships out 21 million tonnes of coal annually.

Depending on the source, each tonne of coal produces 1,000 to 1,500 lb. of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. You do the math. Because these pollutants are killing or destroying the health of millions of Asians instead of British Columbians, who really cares, right?

This coal reaches Roberts Bank by rail lines that traverse

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

With all the focus on the Trans Mountain pipeline project, protestors and politicians have forgotten that B.C. ships coal and has dangerous mine tailings ponds, too, says the letter writer. or parallel many of our major rivers. These same lines also transport millions of tons of chemicals and dangerous goods. You don’t think a derailment into one of our rivers wouldn’t have a catastrophic effect on our environment? Why doesn’t Premier John Horgan slap a carbon tax on this coal?

He seems to have no problem onerously taxing every aspect of the lives of the hard-working people of our province.

And how soon we seem to have forgotten the Mount Polley debacle, which poisoned the drinking water of thousands of people and caused irreparable damage to the environment

when a tailings pond burst.

Consider, also, the fact that there are at least 93 major tailings ponds located in our province that contain millions upon millions of gallons of toxic sludge. It’s so much more cost effective for these mining companies to use tailings ponds instead of dealing with this waste in an immediate and responsible manner.

These ponds need to be dealt with or they are going to eventually poison our ecosystem. I guess we’ll leave this problem to our children and grandchildren.

And yet again we have our wishy-washy, enigmatic PM pulling another outrageous stunt. While doing his best impression of a leader committed to a project, the Trans Mountain pipeline, his government is actually paying for summer jobs to protest the pipeline. What planet is this man from? Could he be anymore ridiculous? How bad do you feel about voting this man in? I know I do.

Neil Swanson, Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “The bears are back in town” (The Tri-City News, March 21).

I am a resident of Port Coquitlam and read your article about bears in which a city of Coquitlam representative said people are not securing their garbage.

But here in PoCo, the city hasn’t provided us with locks for our garbage bins.

Last year, I asked the city to send me a lock for my garbage cart 360 and its answer was: “We do not have 360 l locks in stock at the present time. I do not have an estimated time we may

be receiving these. I have entered your information into our system on the wait list for this lock.”

PoCo still doesn’t have any locks. Its response this year is: “No we do not yet.

The order has been placed but I don’t have an estimate yet.”

How can we secure our garbage carts without a lock? And the cities are complaining about residents?

Now, I have to put my garbage cart inside my house to avoid attracting bears.

Pills May Replace Diapers And Padded Underwear At Stores Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, urine leaking, and nighttime urgency.

Robert Ward, Associated Health Press AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to plummet as results from a clinical trial on a new, patented bladder control pill have finally been released.

Sold under the brand name UriVarx®, the new pill contains key ingredients that keeps the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips.

Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal.

This would explain why the average UriVarx® user in clinical trials experiences a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

NEW DISCOVERY IN BLADDER CONTROL Until now, doctors believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder. They are amazed to see that it can now be done with the non-prescription UriVarx® pill.

“As you get older, and the involuntary muscles around your bladder weaken, you lose urinary control.

With your bladder wall unable to properly seal, you constantly leak and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj of Innovus Pharmaceuticals.

“UriVarx® targets the bladder muscles and help restores vital kidney health, reducing urgency and frequency. It also helps you “hold it” for hours so you never have to worry about embarrassing accidents ever again!”

FREEDOM FROM SUDDEN URGES AND LEAKS Since hitting the market, sales for the patented UriVarx® pill have soared and there are some very good reasons why.

To begin with, the results from its recent double blind clinical trial were truly remarkable. Out of the 150 test subjects, participants taking UriVarx® saw a stunning reduction in urinary frequency, which resulted in fewer bathroom trips both day and night.

They also experienced a dramatic decrease in incontinence episodes, such as leaking and bed wetting.

The active ingredients in UriVarx® comes from a patented formula. It is both safe and healthy. There are also no known serious side effects in its history of use.

Scientists believe that the ingredients target the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger. These muscles are responsible for keeping the bladder tightly sealed.

They also help the bladder to completely empty, allowing bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract.

Research has shown that as you get older, certain hormonal changes in the body cause these muscles to shrink and become lose. This is what causes the bladder to be over active and the resulting urine accidents and why UriVarx® seems to be so effective in the published clinical trials.

EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX® USERS Many UriVarx® users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry.

“After my third child, I couldn’t control my bladder.

I was running to the bathroom all the time! And once I hit my 60s it became so unpredictable I needed to wear adult pads every day” explained one user.

“I was embarrassed so before going to my doctor I decided to try UriVarx® and I’m so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I no longer feel like my bladder is about to explode. I can also “hold it” when I need to so I’m no longer living in constant fear of finding a bathroom.”

NOW APPROVED FOR OVERACTIVE BLADDER & INCONTINENCE In the highly anticipated clinical trial on UriVarx®, researchers found that one pill daily can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urinary urgency and leaks.

The double blind, placebo control study took place in two primary care centers where 150 male and female participants with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx®.

The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx® saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.

Overall, the UriVarx® group experienced: • 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence • 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence • 61% Reduction in Urgency • 33% Reduction in Frequency • 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips • 475% Decrease in Diaper/Pad Use Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx® said it significantly improved their quality of life. All together, the study earned UriVarx® the Health Canada approval for overactive bladder and incontinence.

“The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx® users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

HOW IT WORKS UriVarx® is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription. However, is approved by Health Canada.

The active ingredients extracts.

NEW PILL MAY REPLACE DIAPERS FOR BLADDER CONTROL: This new patented clinically proven pill solution is now available nationwide Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken.

When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms.

It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s® active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx® support kidney function and overall urinary health.

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE With daily use, UriVarx® can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs.

Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

CORY LOMAX PHOTO

Jogger and Tri-City News reader Cory Lomax snapped a photo of this bobcat strolling across the Patricia Avenue pedestrian bridge Sunday at about 2:30 p.m. The cat was using the bridge to cross the Coquitlam River. The creatures are rarely sighted by casual observers and are not considered dangerous; the current minimum population estimate for bobcats in the southwest region is just 600 animals, according to information from the British Columbia Ministry of Environment. The big cats are often confused for cougars when they are reported to B.C. conservation officers.

Province adds conservation officers, including Tri-Cities More conservation officers will be patrolling the Tri-Cities and neighbouring municipalities looking for poachers and dealing with wildlife issues.

Two additional officers have been hired for the North Fraser zone just as bear season gets underway.

“We recognize the need for additional conservation officers to help protect our natural resources and lessen human-

wildlife conflicts,” said George Heyman, minister of environment and climate change strategy in a press release. “For too long, there has been a lack of frontline conservation officers, and communities have suffered the consequences.

“We are taking action to put more boots on the ground so all British Columbians can benefit from the important work conservation officers do

every day,” Heyman further stated.

The hiring of additional conservation officers gives a boost to staffing levels, and will bring the total number of officers in communities around the province to 160.

A spokesperson for the ministry didn’t provide the total number of officers who will be working in the Fraser North area for security reasons but

confirmed the two new officers will be additional staff.

Conservation officers work on a zone-coverage basis and respond to complaints and concerns anywhere in the zone. Several factors were considered in the posting of new conservation officers, including officer safety, call volume, zone coverage and geographic location. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

‘Tacky, off-putting, offensive’: O’Neill continued from front page

And because of the high number of human-bear conflicts each year — as well as the city’s ongoing efforts to remind people to lock up their garbage and green bins until collection day — staff said they wanted to show the stuffed animal in a clear case in the lobby at city hall.

Steffanie Warriner, Coquitlam’s environmental services manager, said the city has displayed stuffed cougars and bear pelts at past community events as a way to draw in curious visitors and to start discussions about wildlife roaming the municipality.

Still, despite the hefty penalties and recent changes in the city’s garbage pick-up schedule, she said the campaign continues to fall on some deaf ears: Late Monday, city staff recorded nearly 30 violations, including several second-time offenders.

“This is despite 10 years of education, including media stories and print ads, door-todoor outreach, community outreach at events, Bear Smart 101, videos and social media as well as warnings and ticketing,” Kathleen Vincent, Coquitlam’s manager of corporate communications, told The Tri-City News Tuesday. “The proposed display is part of our efforts to emphasize the need to reduce wildlife attractants in our urban areas.”

“We all need to do our part to keep our neighbourhoods — and our wildlife — safe,” she said.

Dioszeghy told councilin-committee a similar bear display exists at the Vancouver International Airport and there hasn’t been an impact on travellers.

“We don’t really expect a negative reaction to this,” he said.

Port Moody city hall also

now has a similar exhibit, though temporary and on a smaller scale. That bear is from the Chilliwack area and its display was part of PoMo’s annual Bear Essentials seminar; it has attracted no adverse comments, said city spokesperson Rosemary Lodge.

But a few Coquitlam councillors voiced their concern, saying they would feel uncomfortable with such a large, dead creature on show in a civic building.

Coun. Bonita Zarrillo questioned whether the bruin would serve as a deterrent.

“It’s a much deeper conversation than just putting a bear in some Plexiglas,” she said.

“Personally, it upsets me if I have to come to work and walk past it.”

Zarrillo then stepped down as committee chair to call for a motion that would see council vote on the topic at its regular meeting the same night; there was no seconder as the majority of council was in favour of the display.

But Coun. Terri O’Neill also objected, writing on The Tri-City News’ Facebook page (which also received a lot of unhappy feedback after a photo was posted Monday evening): “I think such a display will be tacky, off-putting, offensive to some and generally more sensational than educational.”

Coun. Dennis Marsden told city staff to be prepared for a pushback and to ensure its messaging around the exhibit is meaningful while Coun. Teri Towner added she’d like to see the stuffed bear be placed in other public facilities, such as pools and libraries, to draw a bigger audience and to get the word out about bears waking up and food left out.

“Everybody in Coquitlam has to be aware they live amongst us,” she said.

Last year, the city received

BEAR SAFETY INFO • Garbage is the number one bear attractant; other attractants include fruit trees, pet food, bird feeders, livestock, berry bushes, compost, barbecues and freezers kept outdoors.

• The average black bear weighs about 243 lb. and males can range from 176 to 660 lb.

• The average life span of a black bear is 15 to 20 years but a garbage-habituated bear’s life is often cut short.

• About 80% of the black bear’s diet consists of plants; in the summer months, they eat grasses, herbs, fruits, berries and nuts; they also eat insects, salmon and carrion.

• Some black bears (usually males) may not hibernate if the weather is good and food is still abundant.

FireFit Regional Championships

The British Columbia Regional FireFit Championships were held at Inlet Field in Port Moody last weekend. Up to 100 professional and volunteer firefighters tested their brawn, fitness and endurance individually and in teams in a series of essential tasks they use on the job.

Those included: • Climbing a six-storey staircase carrying a 42-pound roll of hose.

• Hoisting a donut roll of hose to the top of a tower.

• Using a nine-pound mallet to pound a beam that simulates smashing through a wall.

• Running to a hydrant while hauling a fully charged hose.

•Rescuing a 165-pound dummy by dragging it backwards 100 feet.

There was also a kids’ event.

Major university hearing study seeks participants.

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing.

All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demonstration of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve lifechanging hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss.

More importantly, researchers now realize the

need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study. * Pichora-Fuller, M. K. (2016). How social psychological factors may modulate auditory and cognitive functioning during listening.

National Institutes of Health. (2010).

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2.

This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

From Manson’s Girls to Melville’s Kraken, dip into literature on cults A GOOD READ VIRGINIA McCREEDY

F

ascinated by cults after playing the game Far Cry 5 or watching Netflix’s Wild Wild Country? Here are a few book suggestions: A recent literary fiction favourite, Emma Cline’s The Girls is inspired by the story of Charles Manson and his followers. The first time Evie sees “The Girls,” especially black-haired Suzanne, she is instantly drawn to the wildness and freedom that radiate from the group. Desperate to find her place in the world, Evie wants nothing more than to become one of them. In the orbit around an aspiring musician named Russell, Evie feels special for the first time and gets the attention and recognition she has been craving — but at what cost? The Girls is a raw, emotional exploration of what draws people to cults, how easily one can get lost in the world and the universal need to belong.

An epidemic that causes people to spontaneously combust will likely make people join any group that promises safety and salvation. In The Fireman, a post-apocalyptic novel by Joe Hill, Harper gets infected with the virus at the same time she discovers that she is pregnant. She decides to keep the baby and is hunted by those, including her husband, who vow to purge the world of the diseased. Eventually, she finds Camp Wyndham, where Mother Carol and her group have some mysterious ways to halt the symptoms. But is this haven is too good to be true? Hill, known for his horror novels (as well as for being the son of the legendary Stephen King) , knows all about things that go bump in the night but in The Fireman, he shows that your fellow human beings can often be much scarier than su-

TEACHERS & TEACHERS-TEACHING-ON-CALL pernatural creatures.

Let Laura Lam’s False Hearts take you into the cult of Mana’s Hearth, a closed commune that lives without technology in a near-future San Francisco. Conjoined twins Taema and Tila escaped from the commune years ago, when they were dying of heart failure and were denied medical treatment. Now separated, Taema feels miles away from her sister, not knowing what she does anymore. Then, Tila shows up one night covered in blood and is later arrested for murder.

In order to clear Tila’s name, Taema has to pretend she is her sister and she is not going to like what she finds.

In Laurie R. King’s thriller A Darker Place, Anne chooses to return and put herself back into the “community” — repeatedly. Anne believes that years ago, her departure from her cult was the impetus of a mass suicide that killed her husband and daughter. Guiltridden, she volunteers to go undercover for the police to gather information about similar communities. Her upbringing allows her to slip in and out of the made-up personas to gain any group’s trust. But her new mission to investigate the Change community may prove a bigger challenge. If she wants to come out alive, not only does she have to outsmart

the seemingly omniscient cult leader Steven, but she also has to not let her growing attachments with the children in the community get in the way, especially with a girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to her daughter.

If you have read anything written by China Melville, you know that his stories never fit nicely into a genre. His novel Kraken begins with an impossible theft of a nine-metre-long giant squid specimen from a London museum. What seems to be a standard mystery set-up turns weird very quickly in the hands of Melville. Soon, you encounter a back tattoo that speaks; people with power to make origami out of anything (inanimate or animate); a secret government ragtag team; a cult (of course) that believes the kraken is their god; and many other bizarre characters and situations. And in the middle of all this craziness is Billy Harrow, just an ordinary guy who works at the museum.

Kraken will have you echoing Billy on every other chapter: “Would someone just tell me what’s happening?”

Artists’ memories for PMAC 20 JAnis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

Two decades have past since the Port Moody Arts Centre Society was incorporated and, tomorrow night (Thursday), the St. Johns Street venue opens a group exhibit by artists whose work was featured in its galleries over the past 20 years.

Titled In the Blink of an Eye the celebratory show also includes narratives by the artists — a selection of which are reprinted here, with permission from curator Janice Cotter.

• Bob Sheridan: “I was one of the founders of the Port Moody Festival of the Arts along with Pablo Schoenefuhs and Elizabeth Keurvorst. The society was formed to operate the Port Moody Arts Centre and continue with the festival.

One of our first acts was to hire Vicki Allesia as executive.”

• Vicki Allesia, a painter, past president of the Port Moody Artist Association and PMAC’s first executive director: “It may take a village to raise a child but it took a warmhearted city to create the arts centre.”

• Maggie White, painter and former instructor: “I have had many one-woman shows but what is unique about the Port Moody Art Centre is the ability to show three-dimensional work as well as two dimensional. My daughter, Sarah White, who works in clay, joined me for a two-person show at the arts centre in 1998 that was opened by then-premier Christy Clark. We called it A Dimension Apart.”

• Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki, painter: “In January of 2005, the Port Moody Arts Centre hosted the first solo show of my art career. It was a double feature where I exhibited landscape paintings in the main gallery and egg tempera icons in the Plum Gallery. The show was a great success and several

paintings sold. I’ve had many solo shows in non-profit and commercial art galleries since but I will never forget this first opportunity to showcase my art in my local community.”

• Angela Flumerfelt, ceramic artist: “My best days are spent walking through the doors of the Port Moody Arts Centre, taking in carefully curated and beautifully displayed art as I head down the stairs to the clay studio. It is here that you’ll find me — elbow deep in mud and a smile on my face.”

• Marina DiMaio, 2016 Kwi Am Choi scholarship recipient:

“The Port Moody Arts Centre has been an incredibly important bridge between my BFA and my MFA, allowing me to discover the intricacies of mounting a solo exhibition and creating a catalogue.”

• Otto Kamensek, 2013-’15 ceramic artist-in-residence: “I have been lucky enough to have found the Port Moody Arts Centre some 18 years ago.

It has been the hub of my artistic education and all the characters that I call friends.”

• Diane Bowman, mixed media artist: “I am connected to the Port Moody Arts Centre

on many levels. I volunteer there, contribute to exhibitions, attend workshops and events and most important to me, it has provided a home for my bead club group. We meet monthly at the arts centre and like to think we have become a part of the wonderful fabric of art woven there.”

• Melanie Ellery, painter: “In 2015 and living in Vancouver, I was honoured to participate in a group show, Double Life, at the Port Moody Arts Centre with my art group Pentimenti. All of the artists have very different styles and

I was amazed at how well our show was curated and hung by the gallery. Fast forward two years and my husband, our dog Lucy and I moved to Port Moody and we absolutely love it here. The arts centre is one of the places that makes Port Moody so special.”

• Rose Kapp, 2011-’16 board member: “My connection to the Port Moody Arts Centre has been a deciding factor on who I am today as an illustrator/artist and a member of the local artistic community.... I love to attend as many gallery openings as I can to show support

to fellow artists and to connect with my creative friends.

Through it all, I have gained useful knowledge and feel much closer to the Port Moody community than when I was just a city resident.”

• Kimberly Blackstock, painter and instructor: “The arts centre has been my second home for the past five years.

When not painting in my own studio I am joyfully instructing visual arts to all ages at the arts centre; guiding and encouraging students to grow technically and build confidence in their own self expression.”

POCO HIGH SCHOOLS EXHIBIT AT LEIGH

visual arts

A new display of artwork by students at Riverside and Terry Fox secondary schools is now on show in Port Coquitlam.

Monday, the participating high school artists opened their collaborative exhibit, titled Imaginings, in the Michael Wright Art Gallery, in the Gathering Place at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall).

It ends June 25.

CHORAL TUNES

Next weekend’s May Day celebrations in Port Coquitlam will include a show by Choral Connections. The 80-member choir will perform at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall) on Friday, May 11 at 7 p.m.

MOSAIC BOOK

The three mosaic murals painted and assembled last year to honour Canada’s 150th year will be part of a book celebrating the community art work across the country. More than 80,000 Canadians and visitors joined the historical project, including some 1,400 in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, to design and create the local murals for the sesquicentennial.

Coquitlam city council awarded Coquitlam Public Library a Spirit grant of $16,604 to organize the city’s mosaic; Port Coquitlam’s is located outside The Outlet at Leigh Square Community Arts Village while Port Moody is waiting for renovations at its recreation complex to be complete before it installs the city mural. To pre-order a book, go online to Canada150Mosaic.com.

SUMMERTIME

Sign up your young thespian in summer camps offered by Theatrix Youtheatre.

Registration is now open for the play camp for kids aged five to seven as well as a performance camp for students aged seven to 14; the latter will workshop and present a mini-version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Both camps take place July 16 to 20 at the Coquitlam Presbyterian Church (948 Como Lake Ave.). Visit theatrixyoutheatre.com.

Langara’s Lam leads flower design lesson before Mother’s Day

It’s love. But not quite.

Janis CLeugh The Tri-CiTy News

With spring now in full bloom, you may want to snip a few garden florals for your home.

And, at Place des Arts next Friday, for the final pARTy@ PdA of the season, the Coquitlam venue will show how to make your flower displays stand out.

Louisa Lam, the head instructor of the Professional Floral Art Certificate Program at Vancouver’s Langara College, will lead adult students in a class called Blooms & Bubbly.

A former cartographer in her native Hong Kong, Lam moved to Canada in 1990 at the recommendation of a friend and, over the past 25 years, she’s taught western-style flower arranging to more than 1,400 students through Langara and the Vancouver School Board as well as other shows around the world.

But it’ll be her first time instructing at Place des Arts.

To learn how to arrange flowers, “students first have to have a passion,” Lam told The Tri-City News last month.

“They have to be eager, have a good attitude and be curious.”

At her upcoming night class in Coquitlam, Lam will start with the demonstration “then

LOUISA LAM I just let them do their own thing. There are guidelines and I will help them, but every one is different.”

Lam will supply the materials for the lesson; however, she’s unsure what flowers will be used. She’s hoping students will create a lovely Mother’s Day table arrangement — “a bouquet that’s fresh and smells nice, looks attractive and done with love,” Lam said.

• Blooms & Bubbly takes place on Friday, May 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam).

Tickets are $26 per person, or $42 for two people — plus another $50 for supplies (participants are asked to bring their own pruning shears and wire).

The price also includes refreshments, and a cash bar will be open. To sign up, call PdA at 604-664-1636 or visit brownpapertickets.com. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Every painting is an adventure, Emily Carr teacher Reeves says Janis ClEugh The Tri-CiTy News

About 15 years ago, contemporary artist Ben Reeves was a teacher at the University of Western Ontario, in London, Ont., when he had a direct studies visual art student named Astrid Heyerdahl.

A few years later, as the visual arts manager at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre, Heyerdahl got in touch with Reeves, who by then had moved to the west coast, to look at curating an exhibit.

Next Wednesday, Reeves will finally see the results of that reacquaintance when he opens a solo show at Evergreen, with a title recommended by its newly hired visual arts manager, Katherine Dennis — a line taken from the 1983 book Mr.

Palomar, penned by the Italian author Italo Calvino, that refers to the protagonist’s unique way of looking at the world through his artist’s eyes.

Floating among Phantoms includes about a dozen works since 2014 by the Tsawwassen painter, focusing on urban and suburban landscapes of which at least two have never been seen in public before.

The book phrase “came out of a discussion with Katherine in early conversations about what the exhibition might look like,” said Reeves, an associate professor at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

“There were similarities in our approach to try to understand our experiences in the world.”

Reeves describes his observational painting style as a “bit of an adventure at the begin-

ning. I don’t plan on where it’s going to go…. There is no predetermined plan. It’s just a general feeling or an aspect of an image and that process helps me to reflect but I try not to think too much about it.”

Reeves, who in 2010 had a solo show titled everyday hallucinatory at the Equinox Gallery, has displayed his paintings around the world.

And the Art Gallery at Evergreen along with the Equinox Gallery will co-publish an illustrated colour catalogue to accompany Floating among Phantoms.

• Ben Reeves will be at the opening for Floating among Phantoms on Wednesday, May 9 at the Art Gallery at Evergreen (1205 Pinetree Way) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The exhibit runs until June 30.

A commute to work 11 years ago changed Patrick Thomas Wood’s life forever.

The art teacher was driving in snowy conditions, from his home in Mission to Surrey — along a hill on Harris Road — when he was sideswiped by another vehicle.

Wood has no recollection of the crash that left him with a brain injury and no sense of smell, and caused blindness in his left eye and daily headaches. His short-term memory was also affected but recollections from his childhood as well as his days as an art student were somewhat preserved.

As he recovered over the next four years, the newly married Wood discovered a sketchbook he had while at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design and employed a technique that he believes saved his art career.

Using Gestalt principles, which form the basis of many design rules today, Wood began to get back into the groove with grid painting.

He would create one small square at a time and, when the canvas was filled, the pattern with a full image would emerge. “I still do that today,”

Mono painting from Patrick Thomas Wood will is part of his new solo show at Place des Arts in Coquitlam, opening Friday. said Wood who, on Friday, opens his first solo show at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts with an oils and mixed media collection called Whispering through Concrete.

The title of his exhibit refers to his disability. “It’s me after the accident. When you have a brain injury, people tend to think that it can’t work properly but the problem is that your thoughts are happening so quickly and it takes so long to get them out of your mouth that, in the end, you forget three-quarters of what you were going to say…. It’s very frustrating, like whispering through concrete.”

Wood will have about 40 pieces on show in the Leonore Peyton Salon this month including some im-

ages from his previous consumer/Consumer Her series, which happens to tie in with the #MeToo movement.

Wood said his art therapy using Gestalt guidelines have allowed him to be in his studio every day; last year, he churned out 130 pieces.

Meanwhile, also opening Friday is The Beauty of Korean (ceramics by Clay for You) in the Atrium Gallery and Artificial Flare (photography by Candice Okada) in the Mezzanine Gallery.

• The reception runs Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam). The artists will be in attendance. Call 604664-1636 or visit placedesarts. ca. The three exhibitions end June 2.

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

Samanani sets a good example for Blues High school player, living on her own since she was 15, headed to Rice University MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

For 17-year-old Ziyana Samanani, the toughest part of living on her own so she can play soccer in Port Moody and Coquitlam isn’t shopping for groceries and cooking for herself, or managing her time, or resisting the temptation to party.

It’s the silence.

Samanani grew up in Calgary in an extended family of eight that included one set of her grandparents. Their home was lively, chaotic, and rarely quiet.

But after Samanani’s local club team folded two years ago, her father, Salim, suggested if she wanted to be serious about her goal to land a university soccer scholarship, she’d have to head to the west coast where the season is longer and high performance programs have a history of producing international superstars like Burnaby’s Christine Sinclair.

It’s not easy sending a 15-year-old girl more than two mountain ranges away.

But Samanani said she’s always been responsible and independent. Plus she had another set of grandparents in Burnaby who could help get her settled.

So with tryouts scheduled

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Ziyana Samanani, right, has become a leader for the revived Port Moody Blues senior girls soccer team as she prepares to attend Rice University in Texas in the fall. for three top soccer clubs in the Lower Mainland, Samanani left Calgary. The lanky centre

back quickly landed a spot on Coquitlam Metro-Ford Storm’s premier league team,

secured an apartment in Port Moody and enrolled in the International Baccalaureate

programme at Port Moody secondary school. This year she’s also led the revival of the school’s senior girls soccer team after a year’s hiatus, and several years competing in the Burnaby/New Westminster league.

Samanani said between homework to maintain her status as a top student, nightly training with her club team, plus her commitment to her high school squad, she doesn’t have the time to take advantage of her independence even if she was tempted.

Although she has managed to eke out a few spare moments here and there as the project manager for Boots Without Borders, a charitable initiative that sent soccer equipment to a girls soccer academy in Kenya.

With that level of maturity, it’s little surprise Samanani emerged as the natural leader of her Blues’ high school team, said its coach, Edward Roberts.

“Everyone has a great example to learn from and that permeates throughout the whole team,” Roberts said.

In fact, it’s Samanani who ensured everyone on the team got to the matches and led the warmup as Roberts was often tied up in class until just before kick-off. And if he was delayed, it’s Samanani who called the team together for a huddle.

“She’s so organized,” Roberts said. “She moms everyone.”

Samanani said she took her position as the team’s leader seriously.

“I definitely feel it’s my role to be a role model and keep that energy going,” she said.

“It’s not about me, it’s about

making everyone feel valued.”

It was also a chance to spread her soccer wings from the discipline of her defensive centre-back role with her Metro-Ford squad to wherever she was needed on the pitch for her high school team.

And she gets to expand her network of friends to all the grades represented on the Blues.

“Her leadership isn’t just on the field,” Roberts said.

Hobbled by injuries to some key players, including their starting goalkeeper, the Blues’ return to the Fraser Valley North league was inconsistent at best, from finishing amongst the top teams at a pre-season tournament to getting blown out 8-0 by the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils. Still, Samanani is upbeat.

“I don’t want to waste the opportunity,” she said. “I want to be the best version of myself I can be.”

Samanani will be taking that version to another level when she attends Rice University in Houston, Tex., in the fall on — of course — a soccer scholarship.

“I want to continue to be challenged,” she said. “I don’t want to coast.”

And while being in a different country and a different climate more than an hour’s flight from home causes Samanani and her family some concern, she knows she’s got the living on her own stuff down pat.

In fact she’s looking forward to having a roommate. At least it won’t be so quiet all the time.

BCJALL

Saints pluck Shamrocks The Port Coquitlam Saints spotted the visiting Victoria Shamrocks a 1-0 lead less than two minutes into their BC Junior A Lacrosse League season opener, then scored the next seven goals in a row to a romp to an 11-5 win Sunday at the PoCo rec centre.

After Ben Preston scored a power play goal for the visitors 1:11 into the game, the Saints wrested control when they

scored three times in less than a minute-and-a-half. Jacob Patterson tied it with a power play goal of his own with just over eight minutes left in first period. Then, 34 seconds later, Ty Goff put the Saints in front with an unassisted goal and 44 seconds after that Patterson scored again.

Connor Frost scored with 2:14 left in the first period to give the Saints a 4-1 advantage

heading into the second, then ballooned that to 7-1 before the frame was half over, including goals by Garrett Winter and Daylan Kellough 11 seconds apart.

The Shamrocks got three of those back to get as close as 7-4 midway through the third period, but the Saints answered with three of their own, including Patterson’s third goal. sports@tricitynews.com

Riverside Rapids tackler Ethan Kelt tries to bring down a Terry Fox Ravens ball carrier Ethan Elliot in the first half of their BC high school rugby match, Monday at Terry Fox secondary school. The Ravens defeated their crosstown rivals 34-0. Terry Fox got two tries from Paul Santos, as well as singles from Michael Evans, Ethan Shuen, and Nathan Pieper. Kyle Huish kicked three conversions and a penalty. “Their team wanted it more,” said Rapids’ coach Darren Mackenzie, of his side’s second consecutive loss after they also dropped a 38-8 decision to Seaquam last Thursday. “Too many missed tackles from us.”

MEDIAN SALE PRICE**

But don’t get too excited just yet, warns finance group Desjardins – falling average prices don’t mean you’ll pay any less to buy a home.

In a new report issued late April, Desjardins observed that home sales were slowing across Canada and that average resale prices have also been declining. “At first glance, the recent slowdown in existing home sales is also being felt on prices. According to monthly transactions, the average price has fallen in the past few months. The average price for an existing home in Canada has fallen by 8.2 per cent since the end of 2017, based on this measure.”

However, the report pointed out that average prices are simply “based on the monthly transactions recorded,” which are affected by a high or low number of expensive or less-expensive homes being sold, but are not necessarily representative of what a buyer will pay for a given property. Desjardins points to the Home Price Index – also called the “benchmark” price – as a more accurate measure of what buyers will typically pay for a given home at a certain time.

Diverging paths

purchases of less-expensive homes and fewer high-end sales, the benchmark price keeps rising.

The report said, “The divergence between the two measures in recent months can be explained by the fact that buyers are increasingly turning to less-expensive homes. This has had a negative impact on the average price (based on the number of transactions), but not on the HPI. “As such, the HPI’s stability suggests instead that home prices in Canada have not genuinely declined in the last few months. In reality, prices continue to climb in several regions, especially in Vancouver and Montreal, while home prices in Toronto have been stabilizing somewhat since mid-2017.”

Looking at individual markets, the report said, “In Vancouver, price growth [on the Home Price Index] has been recorded across all markets segments since the end of 2017. That said, less expensive homes –townhouses and apartments (condos mainly) – have seen the sharpest growth. This supports the assumption that demand is shifting toward these types of property.”

The report concluded, “However, the risk that the housing market could deteriorate further in the months ahead remains high, which could potentially lead to a genuine drop in property prices.”

Desjardins said that while average prices are falling, due to more

Metro Vancouver’s renter rate increased to 36.3 per cent in 2016 from 34.5 per cent in 2011
