Love What You See!

At least one family is struggling to rebuild and dozens of others are seeking temporary accommodation after a fire last Saturday at their condo building in downtown Port Coquitlam.

A GoFundMe page has been started online for the family by a co-worker in the hopes of helping them rebuild “from the ashes.”

Others in the 41-unit building located at 2245 Wilson Ave. were given support for 72 hours immediately after the blaze and provided with hotel and

food vouchers.

Many went to stay with family, according to the property manager for Mary Hill Place, and were awaiting next steps for the building that was badly damaged by fire, smoke and water.

Colleen Semple, with Profile Properties, said the strata was waiting for a damage assessment and information from insurers as to next steps.

The fire was one of the largest in the city in recent years as dozens of firefighters from Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam were called to the scene.

Port Coquitlam Fire Services said the call came in at about 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 25.

NEWS IN TRI-CITIES COURTS

Multiple accounts in Amanda Todd harassment case linked to same internet service, expert says Crown seeks to prove suspect used 22 fake accounts JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

An expert witness for the Crown prosecuting Aydin Coban returned to the stand on Tuesday morning (June 28) in the cyberbullying trial involving Port Coquitlam student Amanda Todd.

Warren Bulmer, a digital investigator retired from the Toronto Police Service and now working with the Australian Federal Police, told the BC Supreme Court in New Westminster about his analysis of Facebook accounts linked to the case.

Bulmer, who was identified by Facebook in 2013 as being a senior point of contact (SPOC) for law enforcement agencies investigating online crimes, told Justice Martha Devlin and the jury about connections he found with 13 accounts associated with Todd — specifically with their IP addresses, date and time stamps, locations, user data and cookies.

(Cookies are small files that websites send to a device to monitor and gain information from the user).

For a Facebook account named “Alice McAllister,” the log showed the user was in San Francisco, Dallas and twice in Germany between

Bungalow 55 in the de Rosep vacation park in Oisterwijk, the Netherlands, where Aydin Coban was allegedly staying at the time of his arrest in January 2014. The image was shown in BC Supreme Court before the jury and witness Dennis Wassenburg on June 23, 2022, as part of the Crown’s evidence. BC PROSECUTION SERVICE

An image from inside Bungalow 55 in the de Rosep vacation park in the Netherlands. The photo was taken on Dec. 21, 2013, during a covert raid of the home by Dutch National Police. The picture was shown to the jury as part of Crown Counsel’s evidence, and confirmed in testimony by DNP Chief Insp. Joerie van Schijindel, as well as other Dutch police. BC PROSECUTION SERVICE

Dec. 23 and 24, 2010. Bulmer concluded that the IP address was likely attached to a virtual private network (VPN) or a proxy server to mask the user’s identity, he told the court.

On the Alice McAllister account, Bulmer testified he uncovered 22 unique IP addresses — some of

which were shared with the following users: Monica Stewart, Austin Collins, Justin Platt, Marc Camer, Kody Maxson, Tyler Boo and Marc Cameron. “It showed that the accounts were using the same internet service,” Bulmer testified.

Bulmer said the records also show that Alice

McAllister was on Facebook 37 times between Dec. 23, 2010, and Jan. 5, 2011, and “in all 37 sessions, there was the same user agent data for the device operating system and browser.”

Bulmer told the court he also examined Kody Maxson’s account on Facebook, which showed similar patterns as Alice McAllister’s. That account had five cookie values over 10 sessions in a day-anda-half in late December.

And he also shared IP addresses with Alice McAllister, Monica Stewart, Tyler Boo and Marc Camer.

Earlier in the trial, Todd’s mother, Carol, testified she received a Facebook message from Alice McAllister on Dec. 22, 2010, as well as on Jan. 4, 2011, about her daughter’s online activities.

In the December message, which was also shared with Amanda’s friends and family, was a hyperlink to an adult porn site called motherless.com, Carol Todd stated, as well as a topless

image of her daughter.

In her opening address, lead prosecutor Louise Kenworthy said the Crown will prove that Coban was behind 22 fake accounts for a “persistent campaign of online sextortion” against Todd. Coban has pleaded not guilty to • extortion • importing and distributing child pornography • possession of child pornography • communicating with the intent to lure a child • criminal harassment None of the allegations is proven in court.

DUTCH BUNGALOW

Meanwhile, last Thursday, a former caretaker of a vacation park in The Netherlands where Aydin Coban was staying at the time of his arrest in 2014 testified from a Dutch courtroom.

Speaking through an interpreter in New Westminster, Dennis Wassenburg testified he helped his mother, who was the de Rosep park owner and manager.

Wassenburg was shown a police photo of Coban and identified him as the man who rented bungalow 55 in the vacation park in Oisterwijk; at the time of Coban’s arrest, Wassenburg lived three doors away.

Wassenburg told the court he saw Coban daily and sometimes chatted with

him about playing the guitar.

He had known Coban from earlier in the year when he rented a bungalow at the vacation spot.

Wassenburg said he didn’t see Coban host visitors at his pad and that Coban often had his curtains pulled. However, he recalled two occasions where Coban had asked him to watch for parcels that were arriving at his bungalow.

The second time, Wassenburg said, “He looked stressed. He was expecting something important.” Asked if he knew what that package contained, Wassenburg said Coban had told him the parcel had “hard disks.”

Dutch National Police arrested Coban a few weeks later.

In cross-examination, Wassenburg described to defence counsel Elliot Holzman the layout of the de Rosep vacation park.

He said the area is wooded and private, and the bungalow Coban was staying at was partially surrounded by a hedge at the front and about 10 m from a neighbouring vacation park called Valkenbosch.

In her opening address, prosecutor Louise Kenworthy said Crown Counsel will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Coban used his neighbour’s Wi-Fi to “sextort” Amanda Todd.

The trial continues.

CIVIC ELECTIONS

Coq. candidate making second run for mayor Adel Gamar finished second in 2018 election KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

A Coquitlam for everyone.

That’s Adel Gamar’s campaign statement as he’s set to

take a second attempt at becoming the city’s next mayor in the upcoming municipal election — set for Oct. 15, 2022.

Gamar publicly announced his candidacy on Monday (June 27).

He was the runner-up in 2018 to Mayor Richard Stewart, who won a fourth term with 69.56 per cent of

the final vote.

Gamar earned 26.93 per cent of the ballots cast four years ago.

Challenges and issues in the city may have changed since, but Gamar believes he’s come up with a new vision that can meet local residents’ needs.

“Coquitlam is no longer the city of my youth. It’s not

even the same city it was a decade ago,” he said in a news release, claiming local cities are starting to become a key factor in addressing global challenges.

“Today’s challenges require new thinking and a new approach that can pull our diverse community together based on shared values and goals.”

According to his campaign, Gamar lists housing, child care, mental health, environment and continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic as some of the issues impacting Coquitlam.

The father of five says he also wants to do what he can to address the rising cost of living for local families.

So far, Gamar is the only person to publicly announce their candidacy for Coquitlam mayor.

There are currently three known councillor candidates for the city: Matt Djonlic, Ali Tootian and Harvey Su.

A long-time Port Moody trustee is leaving behind his beloved school board seat as he retires just months before the next civic election.

Keith Watkins, 71, who has been a school trustee for three decades, announced that he was stepping down at the Tuesday, June 22 board of education meeting.

Appreciated for his “historical perspective,” according to board chair and Port Coquitlam trustee Michael Thomas, Watkins will be missed as a veteran with years of valuable experience.

Watkins told the TriCity News that issues resulting from a concussion he suffered four years ago led to his decision to step back.

He said his health issues would not enable him to do the job to the fullest.

“I’ve had a good time.

There have been victories as well as challenges,” Watkins said, noting that

he leaves School District 43 in good hands with a strong leadership team led by Superintendent Patricia Gartland.

Watkins admitted he sometimes faced difficulties in trying to represent Port Moody issues on a “corporate board” that had to do what’s best for all Tri-City schools.

Watkins said it’s been a hallmark of his time in office that he would speak up, even if doing so caused him problems.

Watkins was known to speak out against the district having “surpluses,” and is now pleased there is a policy in place to put the money back in the classroom, albeit over three years to smooth out the bumps in provincial funding.

He also supports the international education program that generates much of the surplus that can be used for school programs.

As for his advice to new trustees, Watkins said it’s always important to remember who is at the heart of all board decisions — the students and their families.

were evacuated from the building as well as an adjacent building, Cedar Terrace, at 2233 Wilson Ave. Some 37 residents stayed overnight at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (PCCC) on the weekend, according to Trisha Maciejko, the city’s emergency preparedness manager.

By Monday morning, residents of the neighbouring building were allowed to return to their homes after an air quality assessment found the structure was safe, deputy fire chief Walt Warner said.

Called Mary Hill Place, the 41-unit condo unit located at 2245 Wilson Ave. that burned Saturday was built in 1982.

Residents were expected to learn Wednesday (June 29) if they would be allowed to return to collect belongings, according to an online

FAQ page set up for them by the city.

SHARE Society, a social service agency that provides

multiple services to the TriCities, including housing and the food bank, was called in to handle evacu-

ation inquiries from 2233 Wilson Ave., whose residents have since been allowed to return.

Meanwhile, several hundred dollars in donations have been made for the family that lost all their belongings in the fire, which occurred two days after the owners’ birthday, the GoFundMe host stated online.

Semple told the TriCity News the City of Port Coquitlam acted quickly to provide residents with support during the traumatic time.

“The residents were calm and everything was orderly,” she said, adding the services provided to residents were quick and efficient and she congratulated the city on its effort to establish a command centre at the PCCC, including providing individual cots for people.

“The city was fantastic on their response,” she said.

As for the state of the building, Semple said water was pumped out of the garage and damage investigations will determine the next

steps in restoration.

The fire was stubborn and required firefighters to return Sunday and Monday to put out hot spots. Security was also on site.

Casualties from the initial Saturday night blaze included one person who suffered burns and one firefighter who had to be treated for smoke inhalation.

A bystander said that the fire started on the first floor at the rear of the building and spread up to the roof.

However, Warner wouldn’t confirm the source of the fire and said investigators are still determining the cause of the blaze.

“We aren’t releasing any information about the exact suite. We have to make sure we have complete information,” he said.

With streets blocked off due to the fire, traffic and buses were re-routed from Wilson Avenue.

CITY POLICY

Council ready to OK drinking in public parks starting this summer Trish Mandewo was the only opponent to planned bylaw JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

You’ll soon be able to crack a beer or sip some wine at a public park in Coquitlam.

Last Monday (June 20), city council gave three readings to the proposed Responsible Consumption of Liquor in Public Places bylaw that, once formally approved, will start this summer. Final bylaw reading is expected on July 4.

If adopted, the bylaw will apply to more than 100 cityowned recreational properties, including Spirit and Buchanan squares by city hall, city staff said.

However, council heard in its 45-minute discussion, drinking will be banned on the 22 properties owned, leased or licensed to the city by School District 43.

Some shared sites include Bramblewood, Smiling Creek and Nestor elementaries.

Coun. Trish Mandewo was the sole opponent, stating concerns about enforce-

COUN. TRISH MANDEWO

ment.

And she said once the bylaw is on the books, it’ll be hard to change. Mandewo said she would have preferred Coquitlam run a pilot program first like other Lower Mainland municipalities have done over the past two years to test their policies.

Port Coquitlam started its public consumption program in 2020 at seven parks; it now has 10 parks under its bylaw, but also a 10 m no-go zone near playgrounds.

Coquitlam city staff plan to report back to council about its program in May 2023.

The move to allow public drinking in parks comes after Coun. Teri Towner raised the issue at an April

25 meeting. Last year, Mayor Richard Stewart said at a townhall meeting that the city would have difficulties managing alcohol in parks.

But, Lanny Englund, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation, culture and facilities, wrote in his report that COVID “highlighted the important role public spaces play in the community’s physical and mental health. These highly valued areas provide a safe and welcoming place for residents to gather and socialize.”

He said city staff scanned what other municipalities did for public consumption in their parks, and are recommending open sites versus specific areas within parks.

If OK’d, staff will place signs around Coquitlam parks to ensure people know that drinking is permitted during regular daylight hours. As well, city monitoring will be beefed up at parks and waste/recycling bins will be emptied more, Englund said.

RCMP and the city have received few complaints about public drinking in the past.

“I appreciate where we’re going with this,” Coun. Craig Hodge said. “I think the key

| coquitlam.ca/smart

is in the title ‘Responsible Consumption.’ There are still going to be some parents concerned about people sitting and openly drinking at a tot lot while they watch their kids playing.”

Hodge also raised concerns about outdoor sporting events where liquor will soon be allowed. “It only takes a few people to ruin it for everybody,” he said.

Still, other councillors said alcohol is served at games in community arenas and rinks. Towner said with the upcoming summer concerts, “people just want to have a glass of wine while they listen to the music.

People don’t want to break the rules. They don’t want to feel like they’re breaking the law. In my experience, it will still be discreet.”

But, if the rules are bent too much, “Coquitlam residents will lose the privilege.”

Coun. Brent Asmundson said tight rules on drinking in public places don’t work.

In Europe, where he has travelled extensively, “they don’t have the restrictions on and they don’t have the problems…. Are there going to be stupid people with alcohol? Yeah, sure. It’s going to be happen but let’s not brand everybody and hurt everybody else.”

CIVIC ELECTION

Su to run for council A Coquitlam business owner is the third person to declare to the Tri-City News their intention to run for civic office.

Last week, Harvey Su announced his plans to run for a Coquitlam council seat in the Oct. 15 general election.

A Coquitlam resident of 15 years, the Shanghai native has his master’s degree in science from UBC and started an international education business. He and his family have volunteered with local groups since arriving in the Tri-Cities, such as the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation and the Terry Fox Foundation.

In a news release, Su said he’s advocating to expand TransLink's West Coast Express (WCE).

"The proposed expansion will attract more people to use public transportation, helping reduce carbon emissions which will assist the City of Coquitlam’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050," he said.

A bigger WCE service would also help with housing affordability, he said. "We need transportation to turn our bedroom community into a business hub so that

HARVEY SU

people live in Vancouver, Burnaby and other cities will come to work in Coquitlam. I hope we can create high pay local jobs so that our residents can live and work in Coquitlam. WCE is a catalyst making these positive changes possible."

As a councillor, Su said he’ll also introduce policies to attract more family doctors to Coquitlam.

He adds he’ll respond to the mental health and addiction challenges in the Tri-Cities by lobbying to transform səmiq̓wəʔelə/ Riverview Lands into "a world-class mental health research centre and extended care facility affiliated with the UBC Medical School and UBC School of Nursing."

Su is set to challenge a spot on council with Coquitlam residents Matt Djonlic and Ali Tootian, who threw their hats in the campaign ring earlier this year.

City making preparations for hot weather Misting stations, longer hours for community centre part of plan DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The City of Port Coquitlam will be strengthening its response to deal with intense heat in the wake of a BC Coroners’ report that found hundreds of people died during last year’s heat dome.

The provincial service linked more than 600 deaths to the extreme heat, with 93 per cent of them occurring during the week of June 25 to July 1, 2021.

As many as 14 people died in Coquitlam, the report states, which found that chronic disease and age were a factor.

Many didn’t have access to cooling options, such as fans and air conditioning, and more than half of those who died lived alone.

Port Coquitlam Fire Chief Robert Kipps said the B.C. government is taking steps to improve ambulance response and provide critical alerts, and the city will be

doing what it can to create safer conditions for residents in the case of extreme heat.

“As of last week, experts are now forecasting above seasonal norms in Port Coquitlam in mid-August,” Kipps told council during its regular public meeting on Tuesday (June 22).

Among the steps being taken include establishing

two misting stations in denser neighbourhoods on the city’s north side and making a plan so the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (PCCC) could be open longer to act as a cooling centre.

“We’re currently looking for the right areas of town to run this,” said Kipps.

“We’re currently focusing

on the northern side of town and areas with high density.”

Alertable, the city’s new emergency app, will also be updated to notify residents in the event of high temperatures.

Kipps said the province will declare an extreme heat emergency when temperatures reach 33 degrees during the day, the evening

mercury is above 18 degrees and a three-day trend of increasing temperatures is forecasted.

WILDFIRE CONCERN With so much of PoCo’s residential neighbourhoods located near forested trails along Hyde Creek and Coquitlam River, Kipps said it’s become crucial for the

city to ramp up its capability to fight interface fires and wildfires.

They can start as a grass fire or as a small blaze in the forest that shoots embers up into the sky, which can land on local rooftops.

All PoCo firefighters have achieved provincial certification in fighting wildfires, Kipps told council, while a new mapping system shows how wide each trail is so the right-sized equipment can be used to get to the blaze.

As well, a trail marker system established along the Traboulay PoCo Trail will be complete this summer.

The numbered signs show where someone is on the trail so they can easily pinpoint their location when calling 911 in the event of a fire in the woods.

Rooftop sprinklers have been purchased for residential homes that can be snapped onto home gutters and attached to residential tap water to dampen roofs and vegetation in the event of a wildfire, Kipps aid.

New foam systems have also been purchased for the Medic II truck so that fire fighters can quickly douse a grass fire “so we can get ahead of it before it gets wind driven or made larger.”

Brewhalla festival on the move after concerns Future events to be considered on a 'case-by-case' basis

Red Door had been working with Crossroads to mitigate any potential disruption to its garden and even provide the society a presence at the event.

Jain said the city was approaching the Brewhalla festival as a pilot for further programming at Pioneer Memorial Park in anticipation of the gravel field at Inlet Park being redeveloped as a turfed sports facility and an already heavy schedule of events Rocky Point Park.

MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

The Brewhalla Beer and Music Festival has moved to Inlet Park after residents expressed concerns about the suitability of the event’s original venue — Pioneer Memorial Park.

But Devin Jain, the city’s manager of cultural services, said it will continue to explore opportunities to host programming at the wooded green space near city hall and the recreation centre.

Pioneer Memorial Park is also the location of Crossroads Hospice Society’s labyrinth healing garden where visitors can contemplate the loss of loved ones, as well as a “phone of the wind,” an art installation that offers comfort to people who are grieving by giving them the chance to have "conversations" with family and friends who've passed on.

Jain said Brewhalla’s organizers, Langley-based Red Door Events Inc., approached the city about the

PROJECT UPDATE

possibility of moving the event after concerns were raised in the community about maintaining the sanc-

tity of the park’s reflective spaces, as well as the potential for damage to its forested areas.

“It is very important to the organizers that they make a good first impression,” Jain said, adding the city and

But a construction update that’s moved preliminary site preparation of Inlet Field to later in the year means that facility is again available.

Jain said the fencing that already exists around Inlet Field solves some of the logistical problems Brewhalla’s organizers faced at Pioneer Memorial Park, which would have required the erection of protective fences around the healing garden as well as portions of Knowle Street and the parking lot at the rec centre.

Red Door event manager Hannah Brown said Brewhalla will feature 26 vendor tents, a small stage for live music as well as several food trucks, port-a-

potties and hand washing stations.

NOW ONE DAY

In a press relase, the company said the larger space at Inlet Park means the entire event can be accommodated on one day, Saturday, Aug. 6, instead of the two days originally scheduled.

More than 60 craft brewers are expected to attend.

Ticket sales will be capped at 1,100 for each day.

Jain said the new venue for the beer and music festival doesn’t change the city’s “goal of exploring Pioneer Memorial Park as an event space.”

He said the park’s central location just a short walk from the Inlet SkyTrain station and its proximity to the densely populated neighbourhoods at NewPort Village and Suter Brook make it ideal for programming.

“It also provides an alternative to Rocky Point Park for events, allowing for a wider variety of events in the community as well as some revenue for ticketed events,” Jain said, adding future bookings for smaller events at Pioneer Memorial will be considered on a “case-bycase basis.”

OPINION

W E E K LY O N L I N E P O L L

Extreme views not just in U.S.

Last Week t

O

ne of Canada’s top polling firms has released research that shows a significant portion of Canadians hold views that put them very close to the politics of Donald Trump and the rightward-drifting U.S. Republican Party.

The firm Abacus Data sampled the views of 1,500 Canadians back in May and what it discovered is both alarming and disquieting to say the least.

For example, 52 per cent said that “official government accounts of events can’t be trusted.” And 44 per cent said “much of the information we receive from news organizations is false.”

So roughly half the population do not trust two key pillars of established society — government and the news media.

On its own, this finding

is not necessarily disastrous. There is nothing wrong with people being skeptical of either institution.

But when combined with other findings of the poll, the picture that is painted is worrisome indeed.

More than one-third — 37 per cent — said they “think there is a group of people in this country who are trying to replace native-born Canadians with immigrants who agree with their political views.”

This is known as “replacement theory”, a racist view commonly cited by white supremacists.

Then there is the finding that millions of Canadians are conspiracy theorists: 16 per cent think the last U.S. election was “stolen” from Donald Trump, 18 per cent think the Royal Family

killed Princess Diana and 20 per cent think the World Economic Forum has a secret strategy to control the world.

What this poll shows is that Canada is not radically different than the United States when it comes to being home to millions of people who hold unorthodox views that range from intolerance to mere kookiness.

According to Abacus, these folks tend to occupy the conservative side of the political spectrum.

Indeed, this poll shows why that odious trucker convoy that occupied downtown Ottawa in January and February seemed to attract a not-insignificant amount of support.

In fact, Abacus CEO David Coletto has written the trucker convoy and the

infamous Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol cannot be dismissed as one-off events.

Canadians tend to hold a smug view that whatever worrisome event plays out in the U.S., it is unlikely to be repeated in this country.

The Abacus Data poll puts the lie to that notion.

At the very least, there are millions of Canadians who subscribe to views wielded by the increasingly right-wing U.S. Republican Party.

Remember, minority views can become tyrannical as well.

Extremism, distrust and ignorance are spreading.

They are combining to turn the U.S. into potential chaos and the Abacus poll suggests we are not immune to their threats.

TRI-CITIES CHAMBER SUPPORTS VITAL POLICIES TO HELP BUSINESSES SUCCEED: BC CHAMBER AGM AND CONFERENCE, PRINCE GEORGE

In June, Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce CEO Leslie Courchesne attended the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting and Conference in Prince George. Representatives from Chambers and Boards of Trade across the province met to deliberate on policies covering a broad spectrum of provincial and federal issues critical to the success of the business community.

In total, 53 policy resolutions were approved, on topics including indigenous reconciliation, amending paid sick leave, support and collaboration with the wedding and events industry, and taxation.

“Strong advocacy to ensure our local businesses survive and thrive is such an important focus for the work that our Chamber does, and I was pleased to represent Tri-Cities businesses at the B.C. Chamber conference,” said Courchesne. “When Chambers and Boards of Trade work together to leverage the power of our collective voice with all levels of government, we can affect significant change that make our businesses and communities stronger. If you are involved in

business and haven’t found a reason yet to join your local Chamber, this is it — we need you to be part of strengthening that voice.”

“Our goal for this year’s conference was to inspire, to challenge delegates to think outside-the-box, and to find ways to leverage B.C.’s strong foundation as a springboard to a future where businesses are successful, families thrive and communities flourish,” said Fiona Famulak, President and CEO, B.C. Chamber of Commerce.

Presented by Chamber Group Insurance Plan, the conference included sessions on a wide variety of economic issues and trends, including a virtual address from B.C. Finance Minister and Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson. The B.C. Chamber of Commerce appointed Dr. Greg Thomas as its 2022-23 Chair of the Board of Directors.

The full set of approvedpolicy resolutions will be published by the B.C. Chamber in the coming weeks.

Plan to urbanize Anmore South isn’t magical The Editor: Come election time in October, the Village of Anmore will need the wizardry of Harry Potter to deal with the potential of Anmore South going “urban,” a proposal which is under the direction of the Icona group.

The real estate lords at Icona seem to think a kind of Whistler-type village (or a second NewPort) is appropriate to the assumed calibre of Anmore — and that somehow it will be affordable.

Yes, most — if not all — of Canada has a housing affordability problem (even

scaled down — its plans.

Why does Icona still wave the same wand before the Anmore public? The answer lies in the profit motive, not some social concern for the struggling muggles of this world.

I am not against densification. But densification has to have infrastructure as well as good access to transit corridors. Anmore South has neither.

Plus, the area falls outside Metro Vancouver’s urban containment boundary [and] imagine if people would ever deign to get off their broomsticks, the

Harry Potter once lived under a set of stairs) but do we solve anything by remaking the entire village when there is no infrastructure?

It is literally a pipe dream, where Icona appears to have promoted the idea of sewer options with our very own Ministry of Magic for what is regarded, still by some, as a semi-rural community, the aesthetic brainchild of former mayor Hal Weinberg, possibly Anmore’s Dumbledore. When Port Moody removed the David Avenue portal through Bert Flinn Park, Icona should have recalibrated — and

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Henry Garcia Molina died last Aug. 21 after an altercation outside a Whistler hotel. TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO CRIME

Arrest made in death of Coq. man KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Investigators have made an arrest in the stabbing death of a Coquitlam man in Whistler more than 10 months ago.

Dedaar Jhooty was arrested last Wednesday (June 22) and charged with manslaughter the next day for his alleged involvement in Henry Garcia Molina’s death on Aug. 14, 2021.

The 26-year-old man died of, what were believed to be, “multiple” stab wounds after 2 a.m. early that morning as RCMP and paramedics arrived on scene following reports of an altercation in front of the Bearfoot Bistro entrance in the Listel Hotel.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took the lead on the case and conducted a sweep of Whistler Village to speak with witnesses.

In an earlier release, IHIT said officers identified “several persons of interest” and others that were potentially involved in Molina’s murder.

Jhooty has since been approved for one charge by the BC Prosecution Service.

IHIT arrested the 22-yearold man, who was taken into custody with help from the B.C. RCMP E Division major crime’s integrated surveillance team, as well as Mounties in Richmond and Surrey.

“Henry Garcia Molina’s death was a shock to his family and the Whistler community,” said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. David Lee in a

release.

“We hope that this arrest provides some closure and solace to his family.”

Days after Garcia Molina’s death, friends created a crowdfunding campaign that has since brought in nearly $34,000 to support his family.

In his statement on the GoFundMe page, organizer Kevin Pineda Romero said Garcia Molina was “like a brother” to him since they were six.

“Henry was one of my best friends. My goal is to do everything I can to support his family with funeral costs and anything they may need while mourning his loss.”

Pineda Romero added Garcia Molina had built friendships playing volleyball in Coquitlam and his “cheerful personality” was infectious to those he met.

According to Garcia Molina’s Facebook page, he went to Dr. Charles Best Secondary and studied at Douglas College.

“Henry’s loss has been the most painful thing that any parent has had to go through,” his family said in a public statement.

“Henry left a positive impact on everyone he has ever met, including all his family members, his friends from school and various sports teams he was a part of,” they said.

“Henry was very involved with the community and admired by many. He was a kind hearted young man who was always willing to help others.”

FLIPPING FOR FLAPJACKS

Port Moody firefighters prep breakfast feast Event also includes a silent auction and 50/50 draw MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Port Moody firefighters will be serving pancakes for about 4,000 of their closest friends July 2 and 3.

That’s a lot of flapjacks and little packets of maple syrup.

But after two years of diminished events because of COVID-19 public health restrictions, members of the Port Moody Firefighters Society are thrilled to be able to give up two days of their Canada Day long weekend to welcome the community back with open arms and poised spatulas at the city’s Inlet Centre Fire Hall (150 Newport Dr.).

Head organizer Luka Pavicic said while he’s expecting a full contingent of firefighters to help out, the prospect of serving so many people is a little daunting after a virtual event in 2020 and smaller-scale prebooked breakfast event last summer.

“It’s kind of the first one to

be back to normal,” he said.

“We could be in for a bit of a shock.”

In preparation, the firefighters have been gathering supplies from generous local merchants, like Thrifty’s, McDonalds and Dairy

Queen. They’ve also assembled a hefty roster of items for the breakfast’s complementary silent auction.

Those include: • gift cards to Coquitlam Centre • Seattle Mariners’ tickets

• BC Lions’ tickets • golf at Westwood Plateau • spa days • VIP seating at the pancake breakfast • an autographed Vancouver Canucks’ jersey

As well, the jackpot for the 50/50 draw is already north of $2,200.

All of the money raised goes to support local organizations like the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, SHARE, the fish hatcheries

at Noons Creek and Mossom Creek, as well as the Crossroads Hospice Society.

Pavicic said while the task of organizing and hosting so many guests for breakfast may seem enormous, the firefighters are eager to commune with their community again.

“We’re a small department but the guys give up a lot,” he said. “One of the biggest things about being a firefighter is the public interaction.”

There will be more on the breakfast menu than just pancakes and sausages though.

Many of the department’s trucks will be rolled out of the station so kids can get a chance to jump into the driver’s seat for a firefighter’s eye view of the event. Some might even get the opportunity to handle a hose.

It’s all about showing residents firefighters are there for them, no matter how large or small the need.

“It’s great to be welcoming the public back,” Pavicic said.

• The 45th Port Moody Firefighters Charitable Foundation pancake breakfast runs from 8:30 a.m. to noon on both days.

Missing PoCo teen found dead in Vancouver Teen first reported missing more than a year ago KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

A Port Coquitlam teen who was reported missing for more than a year died last

month.

Noelle “Elli” O’soup was found dead May 1 in an apartment building in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, police confirm to the Tri-City News.

Vancouver police department (VPD) spokesperson Sgt. Steve Addison explained officers delivered the news to the 14-year-old’s family

on June 22, which marked more than 13 months since the first missing report went public.

“Noelle’s death will generate many questions in the community, and we are committed to finding answers,” said Addison to the Tri-City News.

He noted VPD is now taking lead on the case with

help from Coquitlam RCMP. “If, during the course of this investigation, we determine there is a risk to public safety, we will immediately notify the public.”

O’soup was 13 years old when last seen leaving home without permission around 6:30 p.m. on May 12, 2021.

In earlier inquiries, the Tri-City News was told

O’soup was likely trying to avoid a well-being check, but police said they wanted to ensure the teen’s safety.

O’soup was also known to frequent Vancouver.

Art thief robs students’ work KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Someone has taken two Port Moody high school students’ art projects that were set to help them potentially earn university scholarships.

According to Coquitlam RCMP, a suspect stole a pair of paintings from a display kiosk inside the Coquitlam Centre mall within one week at the end of May. Mounties responded to the report around 6:45 p.m. on May 31 when they were first made aware of the theft.

Since then, no suspects have been found or identified.

The art has yet to be recovered said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Paige Kuz. “A number of students put months of work into the art pieces and some were using them toward scholarships as well as

applications for post secondary schools,” Kuz said.

“We are asking the public to be aware these invaluable pieces were stolen in hopes of returning them to their owners.”

Kuz added police are now turning to the public to help find the two paintings.

The first is of a platter of apples on top of a table with white and blue cloths.

There’s also a distinct clear water pitcher on the table and green leaves along the top of the canvas.

Scrap tires getting new life at PoCo school Rubber track surface to be made from 602 tires KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

It’s a rubber match.

A B.C. specialized recy-

cling non-profit is set to give Port Coquitlam’s James Park Elementary a major upgrade — from used car and truck tires.

The rubber off a total of 602 recycled tires will be used to create a new multiuse surface on the School District 43 (SD43) institution’s playground, which

is set to make the site more wheelchair accessible.

The project is set to be completed some time during the 2022–23 school calendar year, said Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC) which is awarding SD43 with a community grant worth $13,376 to install the path.

Rosemary Sutton, TSBC

executive director, said rubber is a durable, non-toxic and cost-effective material for playground surfaces.

“Rubber surfacing made from B.C. scrap tires is also non-slip, making it safer for everyone, and it creates a soft landing in playground areas,” she said in a statement to the Tri-City News.

of the month

What is wrongful dismissal?

In BC, statute and common law regulate termination of employee-employer relationships. If you are an employee who was terminated without just cause, then your employer must provide you with: 1. Proper notice of your termination, also known as reasonable notice; or 2. Monetary compensation, commonly referred to as severance pay.

The Employment Standards Act sets out how to calculate minimum proper notice and severance pay. Under this statute, employees are entitled to, at most, 8 weeks’ notice of termination, 8 weeks of wages as severance pay or a combination of both.

This is a statutory remedy only, and the minimum compensation you may receive. However, you may be entitled to additional compensation under the common law.

Otherwise, the following problems may occur: • Gum and mouth irritation • Problems eating and speaking • Dentures that move around in your mouth • Mouth infections • Over closed bite • Cracking at the corners of the mouth • Bacteria build up • Aesthetically displeasing If you have problems with your dentures, see your Denturist right away.

Financial EXPERT

I want to start saving for my child’s education. Where should I start?

Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP) are a great way to save for your child’s future, especially when combined with the Canada Education Savings Grant which pays 20% on the first $2,500 contributed each year until the child is 17. That’s up to $500 for post-secondary education each year you contribute to a maximum of $7,200, regardless of household income. There is also the Canada Learning Bond that can benefit lower income families. Provincial grants like the BC Training and Education Savings Grant offers up to $1,200 for children ages 6-9. The great part about this grant is you don’t have to make a contribution to receive it, you just have to qualify.

However, not all RESP providers offer it, so feel free to reach out to us if you want some help opening a qualifying account for your child.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Ambitious capital plan will cost $1 billion Projects include new schools, seismic upgrades

make it difficult to achieve a September 2026 opening, Thomas said.

The plans are to construct a joint-middle school first and then follow up with a middle school, at which point the joint school will become a secondary school.

“It will definitely be opened as a joint secondary/ middle, and then the plan is within the couple of years of that opening we’ll need a new middle school on that site as well,” Thomas told the Tri-City News.

In addition to $71.5 million for a new middle school for Burke Mountain, the district is seeking $54.9 million for a new elementary school for the fast-growing area.

The funding request comes as the district is opening a replacement school for Irvine Elementary in Port Coquitlam next week and preparing classes for another elementary school to open in Coquitlam in September.

Coast Salish Elementary in Coquitlam’s growing Burke Mountain neighbourhood will open to approximately 430 students.

Here’s what’s on the list for schools in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Anmore:

DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

School District 43 (SD43) is seeking $1 billion in provincial funding for a massive capital plan that includes new schools, additions and property needed for future development.

Dozens of classroom additions are needed and new schools required to replace aging buildings.

As well, SD43 is requesting the province pay for new schools in areas such as Burke Mountain or help buy land Port Moody and Coquitlam where future development is planned.

“Our total enrolment isn’t changing tremendously,” explained SD43 board chair and Port Coquitlam trustee Michael Thomas.

“We’re fairly stable,” he

said.

“The two biggest factors is the restored contact language (which reduced the number of students per class) and the shift in population.”.

Last Tuesday (June 21), the board of education approved its 2023–24 major capital plan covering school needs for the next five years.

It includes more than $1 billion in funding requests, including: • $175,485,431 for classroom additions

As well, because some projects are presented twice in different categories, the province will choose the preferred option, and, after funding just the one project, the overall all capital budget will be smaller, according to SD43.

Meanwhile, the district is waiting for an announcement of funding for a $145 million joint middle/secondary school for Burke Mountain, and delays will

BUSINESS

John B Pub set to expand into cannabis retail Pub proposal yields positive responses from biz community JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

A second Coquitlam pub is about to open a cannabis retail shop.

Last Monday (June 20), city council gave second and third bylaw readings for the co-owners of the John B Pub to rezone a property a few doors down.

If awarded fourth and final approval, siblings Brent and Tara Lepinski — the children of the pub’s founder, John — will launch Northern Lights Cannabis at Unit B-1052 Austin Ave., a location that currently has an art and photo studio.

Council’s decision came after a public hearing in which the Lepinski’s agent spoke about the application and a number of high-profile business leaders voiced support.

Lisa Landry of the Austin Heights Business Improvement Association (BIA) told council her group backs the proposal as the

Date: Time: Location:

Lepinskis have a history in the neighbourhood with being good corporate citizens and assisting with fundraisers.

And she said if there’s to be a cannabis store in the area “then they are the ones” to hold the license and run the store given their background with regulated products.

Former BIA executive director and area resident Erin Davidson also stood before council in favour of the operation, while Leslie Courchesne, CEO of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, voiced her support, saying the John B is a “pillar” in the community.

Austin Heights businessman Paul Manocha, whose

Basic Eyewear is across the street from the pub, spoke about the John B’s success as well, and welcomed the retail addition.

If OK’d, the store would be on the southern side of Austin Avenue between Nelson and Marmont streets. It will employ a total of 14 staff, and open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to

Thursday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

But the bid also attracted opposition, too, with neighbours warning council about the extra traffic, the store’s proximity to children’s spots and negative neighbourhood changes.

Northern Lights Cannabis was the only cannabis retail shop recommended by city staff.

However, two other proposals — from burb and Inspired Cannabis — were also on city council’s radar for Austin Heights, but were rejected at the May 30 council meeting.

Council said it wanted to stick with the framework it

voted on last December by allowing six shops in five neighbourhoods (in brackets, businesses with preliminary approvals): • Austin Heights (Northern Lights Cannabis) • Burquitlam (Imagine Cannabis) • Lougheed (Seed and Stone) • Maillardville (Brunette Cannabis Company) • City Centre (The Local Leaf Cannabis and KJ’s Best Cannabis) The Brunette Cannabis Company is set to be attached to Woody’s Pub on Brunette Avenue, another well-known drinking establishment in southern Coquitlam.

ELECTION 2022

Coquitlam council to get more paid leave options, pension perks JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Thinking about running for city council?

Coquitlam changed its policies this month to attract a greater diversity of candidates for the Oct. 15 election.

At its June 13 meeting, council unanimously voted to allow personal leaves that go beyond what’s required in the provincial Community Charter — the legislation that governs how B.C. municipalities run — as well as to provide pension benefit allowances.

The measures will take effect for the next city council.

Currently, the Charter

NIKKI CAULFIELD

COUN. STEVE KIM

allows for a council member to be away for up to 60 consecutive days or for four consecutive regularly scheduled

council meetings, unless a local politician is injured or ill.

And if they’re absent for a

City of Coquitlam NOTICE OF INTENTION

longer period, they may be disqualified from holding public office.

But under Coquitlam’s procedures, newly elected officials will be able to take a paid personal leave for up to 16 weeks or until the end of their council term, whichever comes first, for maternity and/or parental duties, as well as for compassionate care/caregiver leave.

Nikki Caulfield, Coquitlam’s general manager of corporate services, told council the changes dovetail with one of the city’s themes for 2022: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

She said the aim is to

encourage more Coquitlam residents to apply for a civic position and “remove systemic and institutional barriers.”

Coun. Steve Kim pointed to a 2020 study by the Samara Centre for Democracy showing the lack of diversity with municipal councils in Canada; the demographic is largely older white men with white-collar backgrounds.

Kim said the new measures will go a long way in helping people, especially parents with young families, decide if they want to run.

“I think this is something that’s putting [the city] in the

right direction and I think it’s about time,” Kim said.

“We’re not voting on this for us because, come Oct. 15, after that, it will be a new council, so we are doing this because we are thinking about our future and thinking about having that inclusive and welcoming space,” Coun. Trish Mandewo added, while commending city staff for taking action to “change the narrative.”

Caulfield said city staff will continue to press the Union of BC Municipalities to lobby the provincial government to expand personal leave options for elected officials in the province.

Celebrating Seniors A BEAUTIFUL WALK

THE CLUB

Seniors activities on the rebound in Port Moody Outings mostly cancelled the past two years With the COVID-19 pandemic in retreat, the Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society is again offering a busy slate of activities and outings this summer for people over 50 at its gathering place, The Club.

They include touring excursions to: • Indian Arm • Steveston

• Fraser River cruise • Grouse Mountain • Seniors Day at the PNE There will also be monthly barbecues in July and August.

A casual walking group departs from the reception desk at the city’s recreation complex every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.

The group’s annual golf tournament is also back. It will be held Aug. 29 at Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam.

Ironically, though, a

shortage of staff and volunteers means some of the group’s programming at 101 Noons Creek Dr. are being curtailed for the season.

The facility will be closed on Mondays and takeout dinners will not be offered on Wednesdays.

As well, cribbage and trivia competitions have been suspended for July and August.

For more information, check out The Club’s website at www.theclubportmoody.com.

PORT MOODY SENIORS FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY

August 29 4th Annual

Summer is here and for seniors it’s a chance to get out and move without an umbrella, warm coat or other cold weather gear.

Summer also gives an opportunity to just have fun and relax but seniors should be aware of some of the pitfalls of too much heat and sun.

According to June Fletcher at AgingCare.com: “Part of the problem lies in the fact that older people simply can’t handle the heat as well as younger ones, because they don’t sweat as effectively and have poorer circulation. Obesity, heart disease, dementia, diabetes

and other chronic medical conditions can compound the risk. So can certain medications, especially diuretics or those prescribed for hypertension and Parkinson’s disease.”

There are many tips for staying safe during the hot days and one of the most important is to stay hydrated.

Research has shown that seniors are more susceptible to dehydration than younger people because they lose their ability to conserve water as they age.

They can also become less aware of their thirst and have difficulty adjusting to temperature changes.

Water is best, as both alcohol and caffeine can cause dehydration.

Be aware of heat stroke or illness.

According to Health Canada, symptoms of heat illness could include dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, rapid breathing and heartbeat, extreme thirst and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine. Health Canada suggests: “If you have any of these symptoms during extreme heat, move to a cool place and drink liquids right away”.

Staying cool is a way to avoid too much heat especially if you don’t have air conditioning at home.

ing in an indoor mall, with the added bonus of getting exercise, or visiting libraries which offer programs and other services for seniors as well as comfy places to read a good book.

Staying cool also requires dressing for the weather. Try finding natural fabrics as they tend to be cooler than synthetic.

If you want to keep up your exercise program (and who doesn’t) make sure to walk or garden in the early morning or later in the day when the sun is not so hot or has gone down.

Remember to use a broad spectrum sunscreen and wear hats and protective, but

When the weather is hot, dress in lighter clothes and exercise early or later in the day.

loose, lightweight clothing.

Go to the pool for swimming or aquasizes, which

gets your body temperature down and gives you the movement you want.

Keep in touch with people so that they are aware of your movements during the hot

months ahead.

Arrange for regular visits by family members, neighbours, or friends during very hot days in case you need assistance.

Visitors can help identify signs of heat illness that could be missed over the phone.

Check on your elderly neighbours to see if they are okay during the heat.

The added bonus is the social contact you and they will get.

If you are at home use more fans, keep the sun out with drapes and screens, and avoid using your oven.

Take cool (not too hot or cold) showers or baths if your house is too hot.

You can keep cool by

misting your skin (my personal favourite) with a spray bottle or using cool wet washcloths or towels and put them on your wrists, ankles, armpits and neck.

Seniors who are experiencing vision issues should be aware of the dangers of too much exposure to the sun which can irritate eyes and cause further damage.

But for all seniors, wearing sunglasses can protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.

Let’s all have a safe and fun summer.

PoCo resident helps promote music diversity Promoter was once based at the Commodore KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Mel Warner has brought culture, flavour and soul to B.C.’s music scene since he immigrated to Canada nearly 60 years ago.

The Port Coquitlam resident was recently inducted into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame in recognition of his accomplishments as a promoter the last 30 years for a diverse slate of musicians in the region.

“It gives me great joy to

bring out and represent my Caribbean Culture to my friends and the people of British Columbia,” he said in a 2019 release by his com-

pany, Melo Productions.

Warner is one of 13 music industry icons in the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame’s 2019 class.

In 1964, he came to Canada with his family from St. Kitts and Nevis — an island nation in the Caribbean east of Puerto Rico.

Warner is celebrated in local music circles as he used his talents to bring new sounds to B.C.’s Lower Mainland, especially Vancouver.

This includes paving the way for reggae, Latin, world and ska recording artists to grow their fan bases.

“Warner can arguable be single-handedly credited for widening the musical tastes of the city, introducing new sounds and musical tastes by taking chances on booking what might be largely unknown acts that had no local

audience,” reads his profile on the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame’s website.

“Night by night, Mel Warner produced shows that not only answered the growing thirsts for local Caribbean music audiences in the 80’s but introduced folk, rock, punk and jazz audiences to music that widened and matured the tastes of Vancouver concert audiences.”

Following his success in the 1980s, Warner was offered use the Commodore Ballroom by its then manager Drew Burns as its base venue for future shows.

Warner then created Melo Productions to host shows with the spotlight on diver-

sity and multiculturalism.

He’s also been a fixture on local airwaves, at the helm of Caribbean Sounds on Co-op radio for over 30 years with a two-and-a-half-hour weekly show on 100.5 FM. As well, the City of Vancouver proclaimed June 23 as Mel Warner Day. “Mel Warner has over the last four decades, through his efforts as a concert promoter, introduced new music and sounds to Vancouver’s multicultural tapestry and provided cultural spaces where Caribbean arts and culture has been showcased through his events,” said Mayor Kennedy Stewart in the proclamation.

JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Brad Merritt remembers the night John Lennon got shot.

He and his newly formed rock band, 54-40, were playing in a motel basement in Coquitlam when the Beatle frontman was murdered.

It was a Monday night and they opened for Neil Osborne’s brother’s band.

“It was a pretty strange night, but we did it and it was great,” the bass guitarist said, recalling 54-40 performed two of Osborne’s

original tunes in addition to covering The Subhumans’ “Slave to my Dick” and “Step-in’ Stone” by The Monkees.

Since then, the band — founded by Merritt, Osborne and drummer Ian Franey — has returned to the Tri-Cities several times to perform on much larger stages.

And, tomorrow (Friday), they’ll be on the Main Stage at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody for Canada Day as the headline act for the

It’s in your home that matters most.

Golden Spike Days.

The festival is sponsored in part by the Tri-City News.

Their free show follows five gigs on Vancouver Island this month — rescheduled due to earlier Covid-19 restrictions — and it launches a summer tour that includes outdoor festival dates from Port Alberni to Peterborough, Ont. Last week, Merritt told the Tri-City News the Port Moody crowd can expect “all the hits and some new music” from their album that’s due to come out later this year. Composing the new tunes started during the pandemic, he said, with the tracks recorded and mastered at Hipposonic Studios SEE

Barney Bentall joins son for party at Castle Park Juno Award winner to sing songs with third child Dustin JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

When Covid-19 hit in the spring of 2020, Barney Bentall was in a good position.

Unlike many other performing artists around the world, Bentall had the means to ride the pandemic out.

Not only does his family own Dominion Construction and the Bentall Centre in downtown Vancouver, but the “Something to Live For” singer–songwriter has also had a long and illustrious career in the music industry — and a 1989 Juno Award to boot with his band The Legendary Hearts.

As well, Bentall said, his wife also stayed employed during the global outbreak.

Barney Bentall takes the Castle Park stage for the Port Coquitlam Canada Day celebrations. KATH WOLVERTON

From a location perspective, Bentall also fared well as he and his family divided their time between rural communities on Bowen Island and in the Cariboo.

“I was able to have that freedom and take a break from touring,” he told the

Tri-City News last week.

Over the two years, Bentall said he kept busy with odd jobs and virtual shows.

And when he could, he played venues with a maximum of 50 guests as per the provincial health orders for

gatherings.

“I wanted to keep my craft alive,” he said.

Now, with the rules loosened, Bentall said he’s back on the road to play his hits, as well as music from his album Cosmic Dreamer that dropped in April. The work

is Bentall’s seventh solo release, and his 20th overall with The Legendary Hearts, The High Bar Gang, Bentall Taylor Ulrich and The Cariboo Express. The title track for Cosmic Dreamer was penned just before the Covid-19 outbreak.

On Friday (July 1), as part of the Canada Day celebrations at Castle Park in Port Coquitlam, Bentall will be joined on stage for an hourlong show with his band and son, Dustin, who is also a professional musician.

Dustin, 38, is Bentall’s third child of four.

“It’s great. He’s been playing with us for a while.

All the people on stage have known him for so long. We’ll be playing each other’s material and singing together.”

Bentall said the post–pandemic audiences that he’s seen are hungry to be entertained.

Still, Canada Day 2022 will have a different meaning this year — separate from the pandemic.

“I really love this country and it’s a complicated time,” he said, without mentioning the trucks’ convoy that waves Canadian flags to vent its frustration at the Canadian government.

“There’s division with the flag. It’s been taken as a symbol. I’m not going to wade into that, but there has to be more understanding and acceptance of people with divergent opinions.”

Bentall added, “I feel like we’re some of the most fortunate people in the world: We have a free country that values human life. We’re lucky.”

“I have opinions, but I’m not political. I play music and I’m a songwriter. It’s wonderful to bring it together and heal. That’s a really positive force.”

Barney and Dustin Bentall headline the Canada Day celebrations at Castle Park in Port Coquitlam at 9:15 p.m.

Their show is followed by fireworks. Visit portcoquitlam. ca/canadaday.

in Vancouver, as well as at Osborne’s and Dave Genn’s home studios.

As for their hits, 54-40 is best known for such singles as “Baby Ran” and “I Go Blind” (from their 1986 self-titled release) and “One Day in Your Life” and “One Gun” (from their third album Show Me).

Asked how Canada Day differs this year, given it’s been two years since large gatherings have been allowed due to the pandemic, Merritt said the stat holiday “is a promise we make to each other to get better.”

“I consider that when they talk about the United States and how to form a more perfect union…. In Canada, we try to make good on that and to make progress, so it kind of bugs me that the anti-vaxxers have appropriated our flag for their own reasons. Now, we don’t see much flag waving going on because people see it differently.”

“But I hope we can take a day to embrace our Canadian identity and celebrate the country.”

54-40 plays Rocky Point Park (2800-block of Murray Street) in Port Moody at around 8:30 p.m. Admission to the Golden Spike Days grounds is by donation.

The show is presented by the City of Port Moody. Visit goldenspike.ca.

Riverside grad is in javelin for the long throw Successes include being named First Team All-American MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Jarrett Chong likes to go long.

The Port Coquitlam javelin thrower has his sights set on attaining 70 metres sometime this year.

But for it to happen, he says everything has to fall into place physically, technically and mentally.

The sport isn’t as easy as it might seem at first glance, said Chong, a Riverside Secondary School grad now in his third year of studies at Simon Fraser University, but in his first season competing in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC).

Getting the sleek aluminum or carbon fibre javelin down the field as far as possible is the culmination of hours in the gym working on strength and conditioning, as well as two days a week at the track refining technical skills like foot angle and

Port Coquitlam’s Jarrett Chong competes at the recent Harry Jerome Classic in Burnaby, where he finished sixth. JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

driving his hips along with intense focus to shut out all distractions when his number is called.

When all those elements come together, Chong said, there’s no better feeling.

“Just off the release it feels easy,” he said. “You know you’ve driven it hard.”

Chong’s been getting that feeling a lot this season.

He won meets at the University of British Columbia, Stanford and SFU. He placed second at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif., and his best throw as a varsity athlete — 66.83 metres — ranks third

in the NCAA Div. II, and 11th all time in the GNAC. Chong was also named a First-Team All-American after he finished seventh at the NCAA Div II outdoor championships.

At the recent Harry Jerome Classic in Burnaby, he placed sixth.

It’s not a bad CV for a thrower who was limited to smaller meets with his club, Royal City Track and Field, for two years because larger competitions and university events were shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Getting back to a level where he feels goals like throwing 70 m and turning some heads at the Canada Summer Games and even Canadian nationals has been a challenge, Chong said.

“The pandemic has forced me to rebuild a lot,” he said, adding he also had to get rid of some bad habits that emerged because of the lack of top competitive situations.

Competing for SFU has given Chong access to a lot more resources to help drive his throwing aspirations forward, like top coaching, ready access to a gym, guidance for things like diet and time management.

Of course, for student– athletes, the flip side of those advantages is fitting training and competing around a demanding course schedule, getting enough sleep and eating properly.

“It’s a bit more difficult to juggle,” Chong said.

To help narrow his focus, he decided to drop shot put and discus, events where he achieved some success tat he high school level in addition to winning two straight championships in his specialty.

Chong said concentrating on one event has helped the development of his technical proficiency and consistency in javelin.

“It does help me focus on one type of foot placement,” he said.

Now 21 years old, Chong said he still has four or five years to go before he hits his javelin stride.

He said most throwers peak when they’re in their mid- to late-20s.

That would put him on target to contend for a position on Canada’s team heading to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

It’s doable, Chong said.

“Every season you have to have a goal, and then the end goal is Olympics or Worlds,” he added. “ You just want to compete in as many high level meets as possible.”

L

ittle Gypsy’s Fine Jewelry, Gifts & Gallery started with a giant leap of faith. Owner Lydia Podobnik had spent a lifetime creating art whenever she could, with a background in painting, carving wood and stone, and creating one of a kind jewelry, all while working full-time in health care. All that changed in 2015 when she made the exciting yet terrifying decision to undertake a complete life change, leaving her full-time job to open a gallery showcasing locally made art and jewelry. What started with a hand full of artists aside from Lydia herself has grown to a small space filled to the brim with the creations of over 50 BC artists - everything from jewelry to pottery, paintings, wood and stone carvings, art glass and so much more. Lydia has received the A-List Award for Favorite Jewelry Store in Port Moody for the last 3 years in a row, as well as the 2020 award for Arts in Business, all while doing her best to navigate the challenges of the last few years, including increasing her online presence with an updated website along with tackling social media! The gallery also has an ever-expanding metaphysical side to it, featuring healing stones and crystals, smudging items, Tarot and Oracle cards, singing bowls and more, a place to address the spiritual while dressing up the physical! Thankfully with the support of this amazing community and loyal fans the doors are still open! Lydia would like to thank
