Man pleads guilty in fatal hit and run SENTENCING DATE HAS NOT YET BEEN SET

LISA KING/NOW

Const. Darren Ramdour of the Vancouver Police Department, centre, talks to officers before they’re deployed to crack down on distracted drivers in Downtown PoCo.

Distracted driving leads to $167 fines POLICE NAB MOTORISTS DURING BLITZ

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com They’re the kinds of excuses police are used to hearing when they pull over someone who’s playing around with their phone behind the wheel.

“I wasn’t talking.”

“I just picked up my phone.”

“I have a real important call.”

Whatever the reason, distracted driving has become the second-biggest killer on B.C. roads, behind speed, claiming the lives of 88 people annually.

Distracted driving is also responsible for a little more than a quarter of all crash fatalities in the province. So during lunch hour on Wednesday, local Mounties, alongside members of the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Road Safety Unit, were out on Tri-Cities streets as part of a distracted driving blitz.

It’s all part of the force’s distracted driving campaign for the month of March.

This week, police set up a caller on the Shaughnessy Street overpass who was looking for people on cellphones, then relaying plate numbers to a crew down the road.

The driver behind the wheel of a hit-and-run crash that killed a PoCo teen in 2013 has pled guilty to a charge in court.

Irwin Richard Franz made a brief appearance in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court Wednesday, where he pled guilty to a charge of failing to stop at an accident causing bodily harm.

Last year, Franz was arrested and charged with hitting 16-year-old Annie Leung and taking off while the teen was crossing Mary Hill Road in a crosswalk on Sept. 13, 2013. Leung died shortly after. She was a student at Riverside Secondary.

During the court appearance, the judge asked Franz, who was dressed in a suit, whether he understood the charge, to which he answered “Yes.” His lawyer asked for an assessment of his client and asked for his next court appearance to be on April 8.

A sentencing date has not been set.

LISA KING/NOW

Irwin Franz was in court Wednesday to plead guilty to failing to stop at an accident causing bodily harm.

Following the crash, Mounties put out several appeals to the public for information, including a surveillance video of the crash

shortly after it took place.

The video shows a man getting out of a black truck and assessing the crash scene.

It’s the end of an era in Port Moody. Crews have almost completely demolished the old No. 1 Fire Hall at the corner of Ioco Road and Guildford Way. The building had served the community for 40 years before it was knocked down. Last year, the city’s brand-new, $11-million fire hall opened up, putting the former hall on a collision course with the wrecking ball. While rumours abound on exactly what will go in that spot as a replacement, city council has not yet made a decision.

jdeutsch@thenownews.com Coquitlam Mounties are looking for a man they believe took part in an alleged assault involving a beer bottle.

According to police, back on Feb. 1, a man in his 40s and his girlfriend were at a pub on Brown Street in PoCo between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m. when four men approached the woman making inappropriate comments and advances toward her.

A few moments after the boyfriend asked the men to leave his girlfriend alone, the men allegedly assaulted him with a beer bottle and punched him several times.

The suspects left the bar shortly after.

Staff at the pub helped the victim get to a hospital where he was treated for non-lifethreatening injuries. After leaving the hospital, the victim went home and reported the assault to police.

While police wouldn’t identify the pub, the Cat & Fiddle Sports Bar is located on Brown Street.

Fire destroys home on Dawes Hill Road be a particularly busy and destructive start to the year for firefighters in Coquitlam.

Last week, a fire at a housing development on Riverbend Drive destroyed three homes and damaged two more. Investigators determined that fire started in an overheated cooking device being used in the garage of one of the homes.

The March 9 fire came three weeks after 24 units were destroyed in a massive blaze on Glen Drive that dis-

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com A large fire early Wednesday morning left at least one family homeless.

Coquitlam fire crews were called to the house, in the 2300 block of Dawes Hill Road, around 4 a.m. to deal with the fire, which eventually grew to a two-alarm blaze.

By the time firefighters got on scene, the home was completely engulfed in flames.

The house was destroyed, but all the residents made it out alive. A total of seven people were in the home, and three were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.

In all, 17 people were displaced by the blaze.

Deputy fire chief Rod Gill noted the fire started in the back of the home, but the exact cause was unknown.

“Due to slope, we had a hard time accessing the rear of the structure, which made it difficult for the crews to actually get to the scene of the fire,” he said, noting 28 firefighters were needed to fight the fire. Eventually, the blaze got so large the roof collapsed and at one point, two houses on either side were also damaged.

Gill said the residents will be out of their home for some time, while people living in the other two homes with less damage will also be displaced for a period.

A neighbour who lives two doors down on Dawes Hill Road but did not want to be identified said her family was evacuated by firefighters.

“It was just quite scary,” she said. “I wanted to get my kids and my family out of the house.”

Fortunately, her family was OK and so was her house.

JEREMY DEUTSCH/NOW

People were evacuated from three homes Wednesday as 28 firefighters responded to a blaze at a house on Dawes Hill Road. One home was destroyed.

The family was allowed back inside later that morning.

Investigators were on scene Wednesday looking into the cause, while crews

cleaned up.

Wednesday’s fire was the latest in what has proven to

placed more than 100 people.

While the cause of that fire wasn’t officially determined, investigators believe it started on a lower-level balcony adjacent to a barbecue and nearby recycling material.

Then in January, a latenight fire razed two businesses at a strip mall on Barnet Highway.

When asked about the recent spate of fires, Gill said: “It’s the way it goes.

Sometimes it’s quiet and sometimes it’s not so much.”

Good hearing, poor comprehension?

The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newly-developed hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well.

It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise.

Hearing loss in the high-frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.

Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider

Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues. themselves to have a hearing problem.

They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation.

However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

A new hearing chip has been developed.

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling

now to do so. First, a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis is done.

Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing.

These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Ex-employee’s gender complaint dismissed Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com A human rights tribunal has tossed out a complaint of alleged gender discrimination made by an ex-employee against the owners of the Coquitlam Canadian Tire.

According to documents from the BC Human Rights Tribunal, Darcy Cammer filed a complaint against Pagalis Sales Ltd. and Sean Droulis, who is listed as the general manager of the Canadian Tire, alleging he was discriminated against when he was fired by the company.

In his complaint, Cammer alleged he was terminated over accusations made by a female co-worker and his guilt was assumed because of his gender. Tribunal documents note he denied the alleged complaint or said it was “exaggerated.”

The company said it investigated a report concerning Cammer’s conduct on May 24, 2014 and determined his behaviour was inappropriate.

It said the comments in question leading up to his termination included telling one worker to punch another in the face and that he would capture and publish video of the event on YouTube.

On June 2, the company

met with Cammer in the presence of other people, where they claimed he acknowledged his comments but said he was joking.

The meeting ended with his termination.

The company denied the connection between Cammer’s firing and his gender or sex, instead suggesting he was terminated because of his conduct as a manager as well as for performance/honesty issues.

In the tribunal documents,

it’s noted the company said once it was made aware of the complaint about Cammer’s conduct, it investigated by interviewing all parties involved, including meeting with him to get his version of events. He acknowledged the conduct and did not apologize for it.

In response, Cammer said the complaint was not investigated to “any degree” and that the accusations, which involved two females, “were based on hearsay and were

Bill C-51 will live on long after election

P

rotesters gathered around the country last weekend at rallies against the federal government’s anti-terrorism bill.

In denouncing what they call a “secret police bill,” protesters exercised basic civil rights in associating and expressing what they see as wrong-headed legislation. But recent revelations about Canada’s spy agency keeping tabs on protesters raise serious questions about how the bill could put a chill on such actions in the future.

The bill itself broadens police powers and allows them to detain terrorism suspects, as well as giving new powers to CSIS without any civilian oversight. This bill plays to people’s fears of the unknown and blows the small risks faced by the average citizen out of proportion.

More concerning, however, is the vagueness with which threats to national security are defined. There are real fears that such definitions could blow with the ideological wind — something validated by the government’s apparent need to spy on those speaking against pipeline projects.

Environmentalists and First Nations activists have been especially concerned in light of the apparent monitoring of their activities. As well they might be. Information so far points to a too-wide interpretation of a serious threat, and a too-narrow concept of legitimate dissent.

At our most cynical, we’d suggest this is largely an election-year stunt meant to fire up the Conservative base and help return their party to office this fall. It may very well work.

But the trouble is, all Canadians will live with the bill’s consequences long after the election is over.

Protesters, meanwhile, should probably keep watch over their shoulders.

Lowest taxes? Not really PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT USES SPIN TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE B.C.ER’S PAY LESS IN TAXES OVERALL

W

hen something changes from one week to the next for no apparent reason, it sparks some curiosity, as is the case with the B.C. finance ministry’s “Keeping taxes low for B.C. families” fact sheet posted to its website only a week after the provincial budget.

It favours spin right from the top. The first two lines, classic.

“B.C. families generally have one of the lowest overall tax burdens in Canada including income taxes, consumption taxes, property taxes, health care premiums and payroll taxes.”

In certain circles that’s called the bait.

The second: “B.C. currently has the lowest provincial personal income taxes in Canada for individuals earning up to $122,000 a year.”

And that’s called the switch.

It goes on to boast that “a single individual can earn more than $19,000 before paying provincial income taxes.”

Bet that line wasn’t written by someone earning $19,000.

An average two-bedroom apartment rents for $1,571 a month in Vancouver.

Presuming someone earning $19,000 a year chose to share an apartment their annual rent would be $9,426, leaving them about $182 a week for incidentals such as federal source deductions, utilities, clothes, transportation and food.

And the ministry has the chutzpah to brag about not charging income taxes on a salary of $19,000.

What really jumps out? The four spanking new illustrations. The ones

which point out that an individual earning $20,000 a year pays $693 less in provincial income taxes than they did in 2001, a senior couple earning $40,000 pays $774 less, an individual earning $50,000 pays $1,334 less, and a family of four earning $70,000 a year pays $2,027 less.

It’s puzzling why the ministry felt there was a need to come up with new ones, since they tabled six perfectly good scenarios the week before with the budget.

Perhaps the new ones paint a rosier picture? Or maybe it’s because they don’t come with those pesky numbers from other provinces where folk might notice that British Columbians pay taxes that aren’t levied elsewhere?

It also makes one wonder what the numbers might look like if the goal posts were moved ever so slightly and the starting point was, say, 2002 and not 2001 (a year undoubtedly chosen out of thin air) and used the budget scenarios instead.

There can’t be any harm in comparing trends with other provinces, can there?

Just as no man is an island, no province is a fiscal island, except P.E.I. but that’s more happenstance.

In two of the budget’s six scenarios, total provincial taxes went up between 2002 and 2014: by $717 for a twoincome family of four earning $90,000 and $276 for a two-income family earning $60,000.

An individual earning $25,000 saw their taxes drop, as they would have in every province. B.C. lost ground, drop-

ping to third lowest among the provinces.

A two-income family earning $30,000 saw their taxes fall by 7.6 per cent.

They fell in six other provinces too, including by 39.9 per cent in Alberta and 44.6 per cent in Ontario. B.C. lost ground again, going from second lowest to fourth.

For an individual earning $80,000 — or nearly $50,000 more than the median income for an individual in B.C. — their taxes dropped by 14 per cent. B.C. picked up ground, rising from second lowest to lowest.

And it can’t hurt to take a peek at how B.C. stacks up in another province’s analysis, strictly as a check on political self-interest.

The Saskatchewan government has its annual intercity comparison of taxes that looks at one city from each province. Figures are readily available online from 2008 on.

An individual earning $25,000 saw their taxes drop in all 10 cities between 2008 and 2014. In Vancouver by $301.

In the other nine? By an average of $523.

For a family earning $50,000, taxes dropped in seven cities and rose in three. Vancouver had the highest increase of the three. A family earning $75,000 saw their taxes drop in seven cities. Vancouver? Second-highest increase.

B.C. may very well have some of the lowest personal income tax rates in Canada, but that doesn’t mean the lowest tax bill.

So doing that “lowest personal income tax” thing is a cute trick, but at the end of the day it’s a trick. And not a particularly empathetic one.

Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

LETTERS A MINI WAGE DILEMMA

Wonderful — the minimum wage adjustment is also known as the mini wage squeeze.

So you work eight hours and then head off to another mini wage job. Get home just in time to tuck the kids into bed.

What is it with our provincial politicians who pay themselves extremely well; a third of it is tax-free? They have gold-plated benefits plus a platinum pension.

The mini job worker, if he or she is lucky, will hopefully avoid illness or loss of job; both have a huge impact on their family as often there are no benefits and a pension, well dream on.

Someone suggested that the politicians’ salaries also be tied to the cost of living and there be no tax-free provision. But even that is too much given the kind of decisions they make for a job that takes two months a year.

Family first, you say. The phrase is a joke. Our opposition party also just folds its hands and smiles at the cameras. It is no wonder that 75 per cent of adults in British Columbia are non-voters.

WE NEED BURRARD THERMAL IN CASE OF QUAKE

Re: “NDP is backing Burrard,” Friday, March 13.

In late 2012, BC Hydro was warned that it was “not adequately prepared to react, respond and recover from a widespread catastrophic event such as an earthquake.”

The BC Liberals’ planned closure of Burrard Thermal threatens to negate many of the improvements that have been made since then and to put us back in an even more precarious position than we were a few years ago.

Burrard Thermal is the kind of backup we need to have in our backyard so we don’t find ourselves devastated after a major earthquake.

By closing the plant, the government is asking us all to just keep our fingers crossed that nothing happens to isolate us from our regular power sources in the Interior. They’re asking us to take a gamble, even though the odds say we wouldn’t be able to keep power flowing to our homes, not to mention places like hospitals, in case of disaster.

The government needs to keep Burrard Thermal available. The stakes are too high for us to see it dismantled.

PORT MANN WOES LEAD TO ANOTHER ‘NO’ VOTE

Will the saga of the Port Mann Bridge ever end?

The bridge was originally supposed to be twinned, but the P3 partner talked the province into a double-wide new bridge, at an additional cost of close to $500 million.

When the partner could not secure financing, the province stepped in, but did not revert to the less-expensive original plan.

Then a bridge was built, more suitable for Abu Dhabi or Dubai weather conditions, leading to badly damaged vehicles, and the need for expensive mitigation measures.

Now the new exit to Coquitlam does not allow for HOV commuters to take advantage of the dis-

Dogs are wonderful companion animals, providing their owners with loyal friends who are seemingly always up for walks or games of frisbee.

Dog ownership is rewarding, but it’s also a significant responsibility. Before adopting a shelter dog or buying from a breeder, prospective dog owners should consider a host of factors to determine if now is the best time for them to welcome a new fourlegged friend into the family.

Men and women considering getting a dog should make an honest assessment of how much time they have to take care of their animals. Dogs don’t just need their owners to take them for walks and let them into the backyard to go to the bathroom. Dogs are social animals and need their owners to spend time with them every day. Men and women with especially hectic schedules may want to delay getting a dog until they can free up more time.

Dogs can be costly CONT. FROM PAGE 12 problems from their owners, which is why routine veterinary visits are so important.

Many veterinarians recommend at least annual visits for dogs under the age of 10 and visits every six months for dogs 10 and older. Men and women should make sure they can afford those visits before bringing a dog into their lives.

Climate Where you live should also influence your decision to get a dog. Though climate won’t necessarily prevent you from adopting a dog, you may want to avoid adopting certain breeds of dogs depending on where you live.

For example, short-nosed breeds, including English bulldogs and pugs, are highly susceptible to heat stroke,

as their shorter airways give them less of a chance to cool the air they draw into their bodies. People living in warm climates may want to avoid short-nosed breeds in favour of dogs better equipped to handle the heat.

Age of the dog Many prospective dog owners want to adopt puppies so they can be with their new best friends throughout the dogs’ lives. But puppies can be difficult to house train, and that training takes a combination of time, money and patience. If you are not ready to commit all three to house train your dog, then consider adopting an older dog that is already house trained.

additions to a home, but not everyone is cut out for living with dogs. If you live with other people, be it family members or roommates, it’s best to consult with them before bringing a dog home, as dogs can change the dynamic of any living arrangement. In addition, you may unknowingly live with someone who has a dog allergy and cannot cohabitate with a dog. Consult the people you live with before bringing a dog home, and only do so if you have their blessing.

Dogs are great companions who can greatly improve their owners’ quality of life.

But dog ownership is not for everyone, and prospective dog owners should first consider a host of factors before bringing dogs into their homes.

Gleneagle students’ artwork on display CONT. FROM PAGE 11 “Their aim is to give their students the skills needed to express concepts and ideas in a creative and visually effective way,” notes a press release from the library. For more, see www.library.portmoody.ca.

Three shows in one Joy Kirkwood doesn’t see anything mundane in everyday doodles. In fact, Place des Arts’ latest artist in residence wants to use those doodles and scribbles as part

of a community banner-making project called “Tag, You’re It!” The process of getting that collaboration together kicks off on Thursday, March 26, when Kirkwood’s project and two other exhibits open at the Maillardville arts centre. Kirkwood will lead workshops on March 26 and April 19 from 7 to 9 p.m., and participants can choose one of three creative ways to turn doodles into personal symbols that will be transformed into luggage tags to signify our “transient culture.”

“Anyone can make marks on a

piece of paper; yet these energetic, unique scribbles are often ignored and undervalued,” said Kirkwood, a Coquitlam resident, in a press release.

Meanwhile, Ann Willsie’s exhibit, called Last Night I Dreamed, features a series of paintings that focus on how she remembers an image, rather than how she first sees it.

Willsie is inspired by impressionism.

“The Impressionists greatly influenced my perception of art,” she said. “They took the exploration of light, colour and brush strokes

to new heights, exploring nontraditional methods of painting. In doing so, they defied convention and eventually changed the definition of art. Their use of colour and technique, and the way that they controlled them, became the focus of their art.”

Rounding out the trio of artists is another from Coquitlam, Amy Thompson, whose exhibit draws inspiration from the rhythm of nature. Waters of Widgeon Creek is a series of paintings based on detailed photographs that examine microscopic details of the local waterway.

“Using tiny sections of these water photographs as inspiration, Amy produced a series of large paintings revealing the water’s miniscule beauty in even the smallest details,” the press release states. “These enlarged images blur the boundary between realism and abstraction, but still show the telltale rhythm and flow of a river.”

The three exhibitions run from March 26 until June 6, and an opening reception is set for 7 p.m. on March 26. For more info, see www. placedesarts.ca.

“If you’re into an area “A lot of the people who come in now are retiring or where you’re unfamiliar, it’s they’re retired, and they’re like what they used to say

when you were first being taught how to drive: you need to get out and walk around your car,” he said. “If you’re in a residential area and it’s new to you, you may not know who’s around you.

So the safest thing to do is to walk around your car.”

The majority of vehicles that come into Larose’s shop are cars, though another branch in Pitt Meadows deals predominantly in trucks and SUVs. Like that variation in vehicle type, the price of repairs also differs.

“It depends on where the impact is,” he said. “If it’s just a bumper it can go from anywhere from $400 to $600. If it’s anywhere on the body it all depends on how close it is to an adjacent panel.”

Dents Unlimited, another Port Moody-based repair shop, deals with dings of a slightly different nature. The shop specializes in minor car dents and uses a type of paintless dent removal technique that allows the job to be done in under 30 minutes in most cases.

Protect your vehicle in hot conditions

D

ramatic fluctuations in temperature can wreak havoc on automobiles. While cars and trucks are designed to be reliable under various conditions, sometimes the weather can get the best of even the most reliable vehicle.

Many people associate car troubles with cold weather.

However, cars are also susceptible to breakdowns when it is hot outside. Extreme heat adds to an already high temperature under the hood, requiring ventilation and cooling systems to work that much harder.

Batteries, alternators, starters, fan motors,

and cooling systems are particularly vulnerable to high heat. It’s easy for a car to overheat and breakdown. Proper maintenance and some hot weather guidelines can keep drivers safe and on the road when temperatures soar, whether drivers are going on a quick ride or an extended road trip.

• Be sure the radiator is working properly and is filled with fluid at all times. This helps prevent overheating, which can strand a vehicle on the side of the road.

• Hot temperatures cause items to expand, such as the air molecules inside of the tires.

Make sure the tires are properly inflated so blowouts do not occur.

Protecting your vehicle in hot weather is just as important as taking care of your car in the winter.

• Keep up-to-date with oil changes and other routine maintenance. Vehicles that are well maintained are less likely to be susceptible to heat strain.

• Proper air flow is essential to cool an engine and keep a vehicle air conditioning system operating efficiently. If the cooling system has not recently been serviced, have it done before the hot weather arrives.

• Replace an old battery, and top off a functioning battery with distilled water when necessary, particularly if evaporation has occurred.

• Clean the vehicle so that it will better reflect the sun’s rays, cutting down on radiant

heat.

• When the vehicle is parked, use a car cover or a reflective shade in the windshield to protect the interior from sun damage and excessive heat.

• Plan road trips for early in the morning or late at night to cut down on the amount of time spent driving during the peak heat and sunshine.

• Passengers should wear appropriate clothing and apply sunscreen. Car windows do not block UV light, and passengers may be susceptible to sunburn even when they’re in the car.

A

long weekend provides the perfect opportunity to hop into the car and embark on a road trip.

Sometimes it doesn’t take an extended vacation to recharge your batteries.

A brief change of scenery and venue can make for quite the respite as well.

Road trips also tend to be more affordable than longer getaways.

If you have the benefit of a tow hitch and a camper, you already have your accommodations.

But even if you still need lodging, there are several budget motels that can fit the bill for overnight lodging along your route.

Here are some other road trip tips.

• Before embarking, take out a map and plan your excursion. Stick to locations that are within reasonable driving distance from home. If you roam too far, you will spend more time behind the wheel than you will enjoying your destination.

Locations no more than five to six hours

away should suffice.

• Get your vehicle in road trip shape by ensuring it is in good working condition.

If your car is scheduled for an oil change, get one before leaving.

In addition, top up fluids and be sure that tires are properly inflated.

• Stick to the scenic routes. While they may not save you travel time, avoiding interstates in favour of picturesque backroads will make for a much more relaxing and visually inspiring trip.

Schedule rest stops so you can get out of the car and explore along the way to your destination.

Taking backroads may also help you avoid some of your fellow weekend travellers.

• Make your long weekend a Saturday through Monday affair.

You may find the roads are more congested Friday through Sunday.

Simply starting your trip on Saturday and returning on Monday could save you the headache of driving in heavy traffic.

• Scope out low-cost activities at your destination. Many national parks are inexpensive and may only charge one fee per vehicle to enter.

After Labour Day, many beaches no longer charge entry fees, making them an affordable option.

Prevent disputes by using proper fence etiquette

People fortunate enough to own their own plots of land often choose to fence in their pieces of paradise.

Fences serve many purposes: to designate property boundaries, keep pets or children contained in a safe environment, corral livestock, offer privacy or add esthetic appeal.

Although installing a fence may seem like the right idea for you, going about it the wrong way may lead to problems among neighbours, particularly if you live where the houses are relatively close to one another. Some homeowners find fences become the final point of contention among disagreeable neighbours or create tension with a neighbour with whom you previously had a good relationship. Being courteous with fence plans is the way to avoid any animosity along the way.

There are certain things you must do and should do if you plan to erect a fence.

Most people find neighbours appreciate being informed of any decisions you are thinking of making to the property that can affect their views or their adjoining property.

Before drawing up fence plans with a contractor, talk to the neighbours on either side of your home and gauge their receptiveness to a fence.

At this point, you may want to consider offering to make the fencing project a joint deal to save money should the neighbours decide to install a fence as well. Contractors will often discount if they have several customers doing an installation at the same time. Property owners can save by splitting the costs of the shared walls of the fence where their property lines meet.

Explain your case for the fence. Most neighbours are receptive to the idea if they know the reasoning — especially if the desire for a fence

is not to keep them at bay.

It’s hard to protest a fence that is a safety precaution for children. If your neighbour already has a fence, you must ask whether you can connect your fence panels into the support post on your shared side. Once you notify your neighbours as a courtesy, there are certain steps to take that will prevent any legal disputes down the road. Even the most easy-going neighbour could grow aggravated if the fence is put up carelessly or ends up partially on his property. The best way to prevent this is to apply for a new, professional property survey and have property lines indicated with paint or wood markers.

Each town or city has different regulations with regard to fencing, so it is important to learn the ropes or hire a contractor who is familiar with the rules. It might be illegal to install fences directly on the property line. The law might require the fence be installed a few inches inward.

There also may be rules about how high fences can be in the front of the home, sides and back. Corner lot properties may have added regulations depending on whether the fence could prove a visual obstruction to drivers.

If you live in a planned community, or one with a strata corporation, it is your job to find out the guidelines for any home improvements.

The strata may dictate the style, size and maintenance of the fence or may not allow a fence at all.

Once all the details are checked, you may have to apply for a fence permit. This way the construction of the fence and finished product will meet safety standards, and the area in which you live can provide consistent quality control. If the fence is installed by code, there is little chance it will have to be torn down or changed in

the near future. Also, doing it by the book means that a neighbour can be unhappy about a fence but not have legal recourse to ask you to remove it.

As an added form of courtesy, it is proper fence etiquette to put the “good” side of the fence facing the neighbours’ yards. That means the

side of the fence that doesn’t show the support panels and posts. Remember, it is your fence so you are also responsible for all maintenance of the fence — on all sides. Just because your neighbour also will be benefitting from your fence, doesn’t mean he will have to care for it.

up along with any mould and mildew stains that may have formed over the last year.

• Apply a fresh coat of sealant or stain to your deck on a dry day. Doing this in early spring gives it time to dry before placing patio furniture on the surface. A new coat of sealant will protect your deck from future moisture damage, fungus growth and ultraviolet light from the sun, ensuring a longer life for your backyard sanctuary.

• To ensure a green lawn in the summer, take the time this spring to rake your lawn so sunlight and water can filter down to the roots. Reseed any bare patches so that new blades of grass will be in peak growing season for a lush lawn.

• For the most robust perennials and trees this summer, prune them in early spring. Remove any dead or damaged stems before new growth begins. www.newscanada.com

“They’re a tough team to play against, they’re all intelligent players, but they had to an old-school kind of hockey team,” said learn a new system.”

Game 2 goes Saturday, while Game 3, if Coquitlam’s Caleb Fantillo, whose 10 goals and three assists earned him February’s Player necessary, will be played Sunday. sports@thenownews.com

CHIEFS NAB FOURTH

MCINTYRE HEATS UP Chase McIntyre’s nose for the net is lighting up northern Florida.

The freshman attacker with the Jacksonville Dolphins has 13 goals in six games this season, far surpassing his mark of nine goals throughout his entire sophomore campaign.

McIntyre currently sits third in goals behind team leader Tom Moore, who has two more than the Coquitlam junior Adanac product.

During his second full season with Coquitlam last year, McIntyre had 64 points.

The Coquitlam Midget A3 Chiefs emerged from this week’s provincial championships in Dawson Creek with a fourth-place finish after dropping the bronze medal game 6-3 to Sooke.

After falling behind 1-0 three minutes into the game, Coquitlam’s Kyle Hoover knotted the contest one minute later before Sooke tallied four answered to take control of the contest. Nico Fazio and Kurtis Kapitza also tallied for the Chiefs in the loss.

The Chiefs ended with a 2-2-1 record: they bested Sunshine Coast and Quesnel 7-4 and 3-1 respectively, dropped a 7-3 loss to Terrace and tied Dawson Creek 5-5 in the opener.

VOSS HITS THE SLOPES INLET MAKES INROADS

Port Moody skier Katrina Voss was named this week as one of 18 skiers who will compete in the under-16 category at the upcoming Whistler Cup competition on Easter weekend.

Voss’s inclusion on the team comes despite having a trying season — her home ski hill at Hemlock Resort had been closed all season due to a lack of snow, forcing the Port Moody native to continually travel to new locales each weekend to find the white stuff.

Now in its 23rd year, the Whistler Cup is regarded as one of the most prestigious stops in the youth skiing ranks and has previously included the likes of Lindsey Vonn, Julia Mancuso, Jan Hudec and Erik Guay.

Figure skaters with the Port Moody’s Inlet Skating Club carved up the ice — and winners’ circle — at the recently-held 2015 Super Series Star Skate Final in Kelowna.

Heading up the list of winners was Miku Makita, who bested a field of 23 competitors to take first place in the under-14 Pre-Juvenile Ladies bracket. Maya Dinwoodie, meanwhile, laid claim to first-place in the Star 5 u-13 category. Other Inlet results include: Kiera Kam, Star 5 u-13, third place; Hailey Yu, PreJuvenile u-11, fourth place; Megan Yu, Senior Bronze Ladies, fourth place; Nadina Ismail, Star 4 Group 2, sixth place and Becca Mitchell, Star 4 Group 1, sixth place.
