jkurucz@thenownews.com The name may imply it’s for farmers only, but the atmosphere is more akin to a carnival — complete with music, artisans and literature.

The Port Coquitlam Farmers Market kicks off tomorrow (Thursday), and organizers want to let residents know everyone is welcome at the Leigh Square event.

“We’re a good spot for people who like to think outside the box,” said market coordinator Colleen Williams.

“We have some people who come weekly or some people who show up every couple of weeks. We’re also looking for the backyard gardener who is maybe good with only one thing.”

One of last year’s outside-the-box success stories saw a pair of teens capitalize on a bumper crop of plums grown in the backyard of their Mary Hill Road home.

They only came to one market, but that’s because they sold every plum they had brought within a four-hour span.

“These things rocked, they were so great,” CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Hotel spending triggers outrage COUNCIL MEMBERS DEFEND THEIR DECISION TO STAY DOWNTOWN FOR CONFERENCE

John KURUCZ and Jeremy DEUTSCH editorial@thenownews.com In a rare week where no meetings were held at Coquitlam City Hall, half of city council is embroiled over meetings in Vancouver in a spending controversy being referred to as “Hotel Gate.”

The issue was raised by Coun. Lou Sekora, who was incensed that three councillors — Craig Hodge, Mae Reid, Terry O’Neill — along with Mayor Richard Stewart, spent thousands of taxpayers’ dollars on hotel fees while attending the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference in Vancouver.

The conference was spread over three days, and city clerk Jay Gilbert estimated the city spent just under $5,000 on hotel accommodations alone. When taking into account conference registration fees — $735 per person — the city spent closer to $10,000 for those four council members, along with Sekora, to attend.

“My phone has not stopped ringing in the last two days,” Sekora said Tuesday. “I’m getting a lot of support. Taxpayers are fed up with their taxes.”

Sekora suggested his fellow council members should have used transit to get to the conference, or at the very least, stayed in cheaper lodgings.

However, each of those council members defended their positions in interviews earlier this week, suggesting the 16- to 18-hour days that each conference day entailed made commuting back and forth impossible.

“I felt it was my duty to go, and once I committed, I felt it was my duty to go to the whole thing,” O’Neill said. “And to go to the whole thing from start to finish means you have to stay downtown. It really does.”

Many council members suggested that while the trade show and conference aspects of the convention were valuable, so were the after-hours events that featured networking opportunities with other elected officials and bureaucrats from across the country.

Hodge, for example, said he spoke with councillors from Manitoba who offered ideas around avoiding byelection costs — approximately $200,000 — in the wake of Selina

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, left, and Coun. Lou Sekora have been at the centre of an online radio debate this week over whether taxpayers should pay for suburban politicians to stay at downtown hotels when they attend conventions.

Robinson and Linda Reimer being recently elected to the legislature.

“The irony of it is, while the residents back home were worried about the $250 hotel bill, we were actually trying to look at a way to save $200,000,” Hodge said.

In the wake of this week’s claims, Hodge said he is going to ask staff and council to find a middle ground in determining which conferences councillors attend, and whether or not they should pay at least part of their way.

Mayor Richard Stewart said late Tuesday he would not support such a move, adding the city should send any council member that is “enthusiastic and wants to do this.”

“The reality is, in the last four years, we’ve pulled home $100 million in senior government funding for projects largely because of how we engage senior levels of government,” he said.

Stewart also alleged Sekora was barely seen at last weekend’s conference, and called into question why the city paid more than $700 for him to attend if he wasn’t engaged in the process.

“He wasn’t in the sessions,” Stewart said.

“If we pay the registration fee, which is way more than the hotel, you should be fully

engaged, you should be there and you should work the conference.”

Port Coquitlam Coun. Darrell Penner was the lone council member from that municipality to stay in Vancouver for the balance of the conference. City spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said he stayed for four nights, costing the city $780.

“Similar to the way it is in business, networking is an extremely important part of the whole conference experience,” he said. “So we’re running fairly late at night and then we’re up in the morning. We’ve done this in the past. It hasn’t been an issue before.”

Like Stewart, however, Penner alleges Sekora was a no show at a previous event. He said the Saskatchewan native was barely seen at last year’s FCM conference in Saskatoon.

“As far as I can understand, he was paid for

by Coquitlam and their taxpayers to go to this conference … I did not see him at anything there,” Penner said. “But he was there visiting his family. It’s kind of odd.”

PoCo mayor Greg Moore spent three nights in Vancouver, totalling $765. That money will come from the Metro Vancouver budget, which is subsidized by member municipalities, according to spokesperson Glenn Bohn.

In Port Moody, Coun. Diana Dilworth was the lone local politician to stay at a hotel. But the long-time councillor was unrepentant for doing so.

“I understand the value of needing to be fully engaged in the convention,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW. “I don’t see this as a waste of money at all. The taxpayers paid for me to go to a four-day conference and I went to a fourday conference.”

DilworthnotedshestayedattheRenaissance Hotel for three nights at a cost of $225 per night. When asked why she didn’t simply commute to the conference, she argued there were a number of networking opportunities, including in the evening. And since some of those events include a drink or two, she said she wouldn’t expect any councillor to drive home.

Dilworth also said she chose not to stay at a Lower Mainland Local Government Association conference earlier this year at Harrison Hot Springs and instead saved her budget for the FCM, pointing out the rest of her colleagues chose to stay overnight during the Harrison event.

She also criticized some of her fellow councillors, suggesting they didn’t take in all three days of events at the FCM, which she called a waste of taxpayers’ dollars.

Other Port Moody councillors weighed in on the controversy.

Coun. Zoe Royer said she cancelled her hotel reservation, which was booked as part of a block for all council members, several months ago and used her car and public transit to get to and from the conference.

She argued staying at a hotel didn’t make sense in light of what she called a hefty property tax increase for residents this year.

“It is a huge burden for the taxpayer,” Royer said of having councillors stay in hotels.

Coun. Bob Elliott said he took SkyTrain to the conference during the day, but did not attend any night sessions.

Since the conference was held in Vancouver, he said it would be difficult to justify staying in a hotel.

Each council member gets $4,000 a year to spend on travel and conferences.

Hikers lose their way as snow covers path Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com A group of hikers on Eagle Mountain found out the hard way that though it may feel like summer in the city, it’s still winter in the backcountry.

Coquitlam Search and Rescue got a call around 6 p.m.

Sunday to help rescue a group of people out for a hike on the Lindsay Lake Trail, near Buntzen Lake in Coquitlam.

It turned out two groups of hikers — six people in all— ended up lost, but met up and stayed together until their rescue.

Coquitlam SAR search manager Wendi Harder said the group ran into snow and lost their way along the trail.

However, the group was located by crews a short time later and was eventually walked off the mountain.

All six hikers were on their way home by 10 p.m.

The group had reportedly been hiking the trail all day, before calling for help.

One of the hikers, whose first name is Ronak, but who did not giver her last name, said the group couldn’t find their way out because of the snow and decided to call for help.

“We weren’t expecting that much snow,” she told the media following the rescue, noting the summit of the mountain still

had about two to three metres of snow on it.

The grateful hiker offered advice to others thinking of venturing up the popular mountain to check and see how much snow is up on the trail before going.

It’s a similar warning the Coquitlam SAR has been putting out for weeks as To see a video the weather heats up. of the search, “This time of the year, there is beautidownload the ful weather down here,” Harder said.

There’s no snow … but up on the free Layar mountaintops there is still a lot of snow app to your smartphone and and people need to be aware of that.”

Just two weeks ago, a trio of hikers scan this page were forced to spend the night on the same mountain before being rescued after they got lost, also because of the snow.

A couple weeks before, Coquitlam SAR issued a warning to the public to be careful in the backcountry around this time, mainly because of the amount of snow left at higher levels, which can melt on the warm days, obscuring the trail.

Coquitlam Search and Rescue helped six lost hikers get off Eagle Mountain on Sunday night.

Harder said people need to prepared for snow if they decide to hike up the mountain, but also suggested if they are not and see the white stuff, they should turn back.

jkurucz@thenownews.com Spirituality, resilience and individuality — a study that’s being hailed as a Canadian first is attempting to quantify life around the Coquitlam River in ways rarely examined in the past.

The exercise is being headed up by the Coquitlam-based Watershed Watch Salmon Society, members of the Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable and several other stakeholder groups.

Outside of looking at standard indicators that measure watershed health — turbidity, pollution and drinking water quality — the study is also attempting to examine the spiritual and physical satisfaction people get from living around the river.

“We’re a little bit behind here in Canada, so this could serve as a template,” said

Craig Orr, executive director of the watershed society.

“It’s not written in stone, but it will have enough substance and quantification to it that it will actually provide some measures of watershed health and human well-being as we go forward.”

The public survey is set up online at www.placespeak.com, and will be left up indefinitely, according to Orr. Some of the questions contained in the survey ask respondentsabouttheimportance of salmon stocks and the types of fish found in the river. Other components of the poll speak to urban planning, trail networks and public space. Part of the group’s push is to promote a type of watershed planning referred to as “resilience-based ecosystem stewardship.”

“That refers to the system’s ability to bounce back from outside disturbances

and the ability to maintain [its] original function,” Orr explained. “We used to think it was about how fast you could bounce back from surprise or crisis, but now scientists agree that it speaks to your ability to bounce back from these disturbances and still function like you did in the past.”

Orr said the poll’s outcome will play out in a number of different ways: it will help shape the health of the watershed, promote sustainable practices and serve as a tool to assist in land use decisions in PoCo and Coquitlam.

The Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable will meet on Thursday, June 6 to discuss the polling exercise and other issues related to the river’s health.

The meeting is set to run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the council chambers at Coquitlam City Hall.

It was Rollie Webb’s favourite place to spend time with his kids.

Soon a memorial park bench at Buntzen Lake will be a permanent reminder of the paramedic and Coquitlam Search and Rescue member, who died after being hit by a truck in Anmore.

Coquitlam SAR members have purchased a bench in the park that will be placed under a tree near the dog run.

Al Hurley, Coquitlam SAR search manager, said the organization had been considering creating some kind of dedication to Webb before deciding on the bench by the lake, a place he often visited with his children.

“This was for [Webb’s] kids,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW, noting Webb’s children wanted a place where they could remember their dad.

“I think it will be a special spot for them, because they spent a lot of time at the lake with Rollie.”

On Jan. 17, Webb was killed after being hit by a dump truck as he crossed East Road near Hummingbird Drive in Anmore.

Williams recalled. “They picked them all on the Wednesday, they brought them down on the Thursday and they sold them all. They came for one week, but they made $400 just from selling the plums off the tree in their backyard.”

Given the high volume of produce going through the

market weekly, a series of checks and balances are conducted to ensure everything is on the up and up, as Williams noted that each farmer’s farm is inspected.

“We’ve been out and seen everybody and OK’d whether or not they can come out, and whether or not they are actually growing what they say they’re growing,” she said.

“We have an integrity prog-

Local teen arrested in alleged attack Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com A Coquitlam teen with a lengthy rap sheet could be adding one more crime to the list after being picked up by Transit Police over an alleged attack involving a knife.

The incident began around 10 p.m. on May 25 at a bus stop outside the Braid SkyTrain

Station in New Westminster when a man waiting for a bus was approached by a group of teens, made up of three girls and one boy.

The victim noticed that the group was kicking some bike lockers and asked them to stop.

That’s when police alleged the boy began yelling at the man that he was on drugs

and to back off.

At some point, the teen then lunged at the man with a knife in hand, but the victim kicked him.

The boy allegedly ran away with the man’s briefcase, while a girl punched him in the face.

The briefcase was later found in a garbage can at Braid Station.

A few hours later at 1 a.m., a transit police officer spotted two teens at the Lougheed SkyTrain Station who matched the description of the suspects and took them into custody.

The youth, who cannot be identified because he’s underaged, was charged with assault with a weapon and theft under $5,000 and was

kept in custody.

He was also charged with breaching his release conditions related to two prior robbery charges.

Transit Police pointed out the boy has had nearly 50 “negative contacts” with police involving myriad crimes, such as thefts, drugs and robberies. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

B.C.-wide gun amnesty now on Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Police agencies across B.C. are offering a gun amnesty throughout June, including in the Tri-Cities.

Residents with unwanted or unregistered guns or other weapons can call their local detachment and turn them in without any charges.

The list of weapons includes guns and ammunition, even imitation and pellet weapons, pepper spray and knives. The amnesty does not include weapons used in a crime.

However, Coquitlam Mounties want anyone thinking of turning over their guns to follow a few procedures.

Residents are asked to call the local detachment at 604945-1550 to let police know they have a gun they want to turn in. An officer will retrieve the gun from the home.

Police do not want anyone to carry a gun to the door to greet an officer, but rather,

to leave it in one spot for the cops to handle.

Police are also reminding gun owners not to bring their weapons to the detachment, especially the front counter.

If by mistake someone does bring their gun to the detachment, they’re advised to leave it in the trunk and let an officer handle the weapon.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung couldn’t guess how many guns the detachment expects to get during the monthlong program, but noted the unwanted firearms will be destroyed.

He suggested the program is important because there are people who have firearms they don’t want, and they don’t know what to do with them.

He said leaving them at home is not a safe option as someone might steal the gun during a break-in, or a child might find and play with it.

“The last thing you want is

for your children to be playing with guns and have an accident,” he said. “If you don’t want it, turn it in.”

The Port Moody Police Department is also taking part in the program, and is also reminding residents not to bring any guns to the police station. Instead, residents are asked to call the force at 604461-3456.

The last province-wide gun amnesty program netted more than 1,000 firearms and roughly 44,000 rounds of ammunition. Police said in 2006 the most commonly turned-in firearms included rifles, shotguns and .22s.

The most unusual item was a rocket launcher.

From 2007 to 2010, 173 homicides in B.C. have involved guns, according to data from the B.C. Coroners Service. Over those four years, 297 people killed themselves with guns, according to the same data. The coroners ser-

vice was only able to provide complete data up to 2010 because many newer investigations are still ongoing.

Police are also reminding people who own or have inherited a gun that may have potential historical significance that they can visit the RCMP’s National website at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ cfp-pcaf for information on licensing and proper storage of such a weapon.

Pay for your own room

S

hould Tri-Cities residents pay for civic politicians to stay at hotels in Downtown Vancouver so they don’t have to drive home each night while attending a conference?

If you’ve been following the media fire storm the past few days over the issue — triggered when Coquitlam Coun. Lou Sekora complained about some of his fellow council members being put up at the swanky Fairmont Waterfront Hotel on the taxpayers’ dime — you’ll have heard the level of public anger.

This issue, which has no doubt gained some of its momentum from the disgusting Mike Duffy affair in Ottawa, has really hit a nerve.

Coquitlam has taken the brunt of the criticism, after Sekora went public Monday with his complaint.

“There’s no two ways about it. Taxpayers are treated as a bottomless well,” Sekora said. “Councillors and mayors have got to come down to Earth.”

He’s right.

While there are all sorts of reasons someone attending a three-day conference such as the one hosted by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities might want to stay overnight, the problem is Joe Taxpayer doesn’t want to foot the bill for people who could drive home in less than an hour. A lot of Metro Vancouver residents, struggling with the day-to-day costs of living in the most-expensive region in the country, see these politicians staying at the $225-anight Fairmont, and they see red.

If politicians like Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie can take SkyTrain in each morning, so can those in other Metro Vancouver municipalities. If that’s not convenient, they can drive, carpool or take a taxi. If none of those options work, they should take the room, but pay for it themselves.

Some people say the real business of conventions, the deal-making, happens after the formal sessions are closed.

But anyone who has attended a convention will tell you most of that “business” is little more than schmoozing.

That’s fine, and we’re all for socializing, but those who feel the need to stay late into the night, and perhaps indulge in alcoholic beverages, can pay for their own rooms. The rest can commute, like regular people do.

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION SHOULD TAKE OVER BOARD I agree with the recent letter to the editor, saying that the school trustees should resign.

The trustees and the superintendents should have resigned when the news came out that there was going to be a $12-million deficit.

The salaries and allowances would have helped cut the deficit down.

Parents, teachers and students should be upset with the cuts the superintendent and trustees are proposing.

The Ministry of Education should take over the school district until this is settled.

NDP needs a rebranding

W

hile the B.C. Liberals have debated among themselves for months now whether or not they should change the name of their party, perhaps it is actually the NDP that needs to have precisely the same kind of discussion among its own members.

The NDP’s crushing election defeat may suggest its best-before date is long past. The party has won a measly three elections and lost 20 of them in 60 years, and while it almost always gains about 40 per cent of the vote it, also usually falls short of winning by several thousand votes in a dozen or so ridings.

The NDP has to ask itself, if it can’t beat a government that has a mile-high stack of scandals and controversies on its baggage sheet, can it ever win?

This past election showed once again that no matter how many misgivings people may have about the free enterprise coalition government a good number of them simply can’t bring themselves to vote for the NDP. So why is that?

The answer is ground in history.

Originally, the NDP almost gleefully painted itself as a party with ties to socialism, and has now spent two decades frantically trying to bury that association in the public’s mind.

As socialist and even social democratic governments around the world get tossed to the curb, the NDP has never really been able to redefine itself as a party that is not about raising taxes, making government larger and addressing income equality through redistribution of wealth.

Party candidates and leaders may insist, time and time again, that they are not the party of the past and that they are genuinely interested in making

VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey

economic growth a priority.

The trouble is, a great many people (or, in electoral terms, “just enough people”) simply don’t believe them.

Instead, they view the NDP precisely as its political opponents want them to view it: as the “tax and spend” party that will interfere in your life and endanger your economic future.

There doesn’t have to be a great many people who subscribe to this view. As I mentioned earlier, it only takes several thousand voters over a few ridings who view things this way to determine the election’s outcome (in this past election, if less than 3,000 people spread over eight ridings had voted NDP instead of for the B.C. Liberals, the New Democrats would have won).

New Democrats may complain about the nasty attacks their opponents launch at them and decry them for any inaccuracies contained in them, but by doing so they are missing the key point: those attacks work precisely because they exploit, with devastating effectiveness, the most vulnerable parts of the NDP’s historical image and record.

Since their devastating election loss, a number of New Democrats have observed that the party has to make a fundamental decision: is it a social movement or is it a political party interested in forming government?

A social movement holds a lot of

meetings where overblown rhetoric is the main agenda item, and where the main activity is passing a lot of motions.

A political party makes compromises, bends its ideals and gores some sacred cows.

The NDP is controlled by something called the provincial council, the members of which have been in control of the party’s philosophy and direction for many years and through all those election defeats.

Is such a body at all useful for a genuine political party seeking power? It’s a question party members might want to wrestle with.

The NDP is at a genuine crossroads.

The party is a coalition of interests, and one of its main fault lines — environmental protection versus industrial development — was exposed during the election campaign, and it is a fissure that remains exposed.

The two opposing views are on a collision course within the party, and issues like fracking, pipeline construction and mining may ultimately tear the NDP apart.

Trying to be both a strong environmental party as well as a party that favours industrial development may prove to be impossible.

For months now, the New Democrats have watched with relish as the B.C. Liberals tried to square their stormy past with getting re-elected, and fretted about their apparently wounded brand.

How ironic, then, that it is perhaps the NDP “brand” that is broken, perhaps forever. And that means it is that party — and not the B.C. Liberals — who may need a name change and a political rebranding.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

LETTERS REMEMBERING A GIFT FROM A FATHER

Father’s Day reminds me of the rifle my Dad gave me when I turned 21 that I refused to accept.

When I finally accepted his gift (after turning 40), this rifle was the key to reuniting us after more than two decades of acrimony.

On my 21st birthday my Dad gave me a rifle. I can remember how proudly he took it out of the box to show me. I told him coldly I wouldn’t accept it. I wasn’t interested in guns. Unfortunately, I had no idea what that rifle meant to him. I thought I was so sophisticated as I was a university student, and he was just a school dropout.

When I turned 40, I decided to reach out to my Dad. This was hard for me to do since it involved eating humble pie and picking up the rifle that I still didn’t want.

I arranged to come by his house to pick it up. When my Dad handed that old rifle to me, I had to admit I was not familiar with guns. His face lit up as he eagerly explained about how rifles worked. I could see how important it was to him that I’d asked him to explain. To him, the rifle was a piece of hist-

ory. His history. All of a sudden it hit me that my Dad came from a small town, while I only knew suburbs. I began to glimpse a part of my Dad I’d never known.

Once I got the rifle back home, I was faced with the problem of learning firearm safety, marksmanship, and, of course, how to clean and maintain it. Of course, before I picked it up, I learned what was involved in legally acquiring a firearm, and I qualified for an FAC. Gary Mauser Coquitlam

THANKS TO THE TRI-CITIES We would like to take the opportunity to thank the Tri-Cities communities for supporting the thirdannual Cycling4Diversity (C4D) ride that pedalled through your communities on May 23 during Cycling4Diversity Week in BC from May 19 to 25.

Proclamations followed from the cities of Port Moody and Port Coquitlam. The support and the kindness that was shown to our team by all the mayors, police forces and schools were fantastic.

We were honoured to have all mayors ride with us through each

of their respective communities including, a Port Moody police officer. The day started out with Mayor Mike Clay riding with us from Port Moody City Hall to Port Moody Secondary under a police escort offered by Port Moody police where police chief Chris Rattenbury was present with students. The C4D team then rode to Coquitlam to meet Mayor Richard Stewart, who kindly rode with us to Port Coquitlam where we met Mayor Greg Moore. He guided us to Riverside Secondary to speak to students on topics of cultural diversity, inclusion and racism.

The C4D team began its journey in Victoria on May 21 and finished in Abbotsford on May 24, visiting 19 schools throughout the four days. The Cycling4Diversity

The city hopes the private sector will begin developing the technology, due to high capital costs associated with building the infrastructure.

Outside of the potential to curb greenhouse gas emissions, district energy can also save residents money.

Bill Susak, the city’s manager of engineering and public works, noted BC Hydro transmission lines are in need of repair, a costly process that will likely unfold within the next five years.

The Port Moody-based Yarilo Contemporary Music Society has issued a Friday, June 7 deadline for applying for a $2,000 scholarship the society is offering to a young musician who is pursuing advanced musical studies.

Those applying for the scholarship must be Tri-Cities residents between the ages of 16 and 21. The scholarship is open to pianists only,

however, and those already enrolled in a post-secondary music program are not eligible.

A short biography outlining future study plans is also required, as is a 150-word written submission detailing “the importance of music in our lives.”

Those interested are asked to apply by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, June 7.

Keeping kids active once the school year ends

In many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules than any previous generation of youngsters. Many extracurricular activities, including sports, require a nearly year-round commitment, and the dualincome household has landed many kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in various activities that keep them from resting on their laurels.

• Plan an active vacation. Summer is when many families go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside? Find a location where you can embrace ativities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking or other adventures that get you

and your youngsters out exploring.

• Teach kids to garden. Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables.

• Go swimming. Take a day off every so often and take the kids swimming. Swimming is a great activity that exercises the entire body, as well as helping to maintain a healthy weight while also improving cardiovascular health.

• Limit how much time kids spend watching television, playing video games or surfing the Internet. Many of today’s kids are as tech savvy as they are busy. But it’s important they don’t spend too much time online or on the couch watching TV or playing video games. Parents should limit how much time youngsters spend in front of the television or computer during summer vacation.

Kids might not love it when you turn their video games off or minimize their access to social media, but explain the limitations at the onset of summer and let kids know you expect them to be physically active even if it is summer vacation.

12TH ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE

Comment on PoCo’s transportation plan Thousands of residents and businesses use PoCo’s transportation network every day, whether they’re walking their children to school, cycling on the trails, taking transit to work or delivering a truckload of products.

What will that transportation network be like — and what will its users need from it — in 10, 20, 30 years and beyond? That is the question being answered by PoCo’s draft Master Transportation Plan, which is being present-

ed for public comment for the last time through June 7 before being considered by council for approval this fall.

More than a year of research and two rounds of public input has resulted in a draft final plan that outlines the vision, strategies and priorities for the four transportation networks: pedestrian, bicycle, transit and roads.

Residents, businesses and stakeholders have until Friday to comment on the plan through a survey post-

SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 11AM - 2PM Hospital Tours, Games, Prizes & Lots of Fun!

Network for Animals will be in attendance with crafts for sale and hot dogs on the BBQ

ed at www.portcoquitlam. ca/mtp and available at City Hall, the City Hall annex and recreation facilities.

Those who complete the survey will be entered in a draw for one of three $100 gift certificates for their choice of transit or a local running, cycling or auto supply store.

The draw is open to people who live, work or own a property or business in PoCo, and are at least of driving age. For more information, visit www. portcoquitlam.ca/mtp.

Walk for ALS set for Sunday, June 16 in PoCo The Peoples Drug Mart Walk for ALS at Tri Cities-Ridge Meadows will take place on Sunday, June 16. The event will kick off at 9 a.m. at Riverside Secondary in PoCo, starting in the north parking lot.

Everyone is welcome and there is no registration fee, according to a press release.

Register at www.walkforals.ca.

There are 15 WALK locations in B.C. and the Yukon. The WALKS are the annual, signature fundraiser for the ALS Societies of Canada. This year’s B.C. and Yukon goal is to raise more than $600,000. All proceeds will go towards ALS Patient Services and ALS

Tri-Cities

Research into the cause of, and cure for, ALS. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS, sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a devastating terminal disease that destroys the voluntary muscles of the body, and rarely affects the senses. ALS can happen to anyone at any time.

As the ALS Society of Canada works to enhance the national research effort, provincial societies in every corner of the nation continue to advance care and service to ALS patients across the country as they continue to face the consequences of their disease with courage and hope. For many ALS patients

and their families, their local ALS Society is a vitally needed lifeline to supports and services not provided by provincial governments. Canadians are often shocked to discover that many of the essential requirements

of these patients — such as vitally needed assistive devices for communication, electric beds, wheelchairs, transportation and relief for family caregivers — is not funded by government, but relies on private donations.

Fire chief put to the test A LOT OF BIG EVENTS SEEM TO HAPPEN ON HIS WATCH

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It’s really no surprise to Coquitlam’s new top firefighter that he would be figuratively thrown into the fire on the first day of the job.

After all, Coquitlam Fire & Rescue’s new chief Wade Pierlot was the area commander with Vancouver’s fire department when the Stanley Cup riot broke out in 2011, and the operations chief tasked with managing the Occupy Vancouver movement when it formed later that same year.

As he puts it, a lot of events seem to happen on his watch.

On his first day in Coquitlam, the department was called to a blaze in an abandoned apartment on Clarke Road that afternoon of May 13.

“I joked with them [crews], I thought they may have staged that,” he told the TriCities NOW, a few weeks later from his new office at the Coquitlam Town Centre Fire Hall.

However, the fire on the first day gave the new chief, who replaced former chief Tony Delmonico, an opportunity to see his troops in action.

And Pierlot is quick to note just how impressed he was with that first effort.

At age 53, the former deputy chief with Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services could have retired, but firefighting is in his blood.

“It’s something that I really enjoyed, helping people, from the very beginning,” he said.

Wade Pierlot started in Coquitlam on May 13.

“I just love the job. I always infrastructure.

As a captain in Vancouver’s have.”

So when an opportunity to West End neighbourhood for head the service in Coquitlam years, Pierlot has an extencame up, he left the depart- sive background in fighting ment he’d known for 32 highrise fires.

He’s expecting to bring that years.

“There’s a lot of opportun- experience to his new team.

it,” Pierlot said, also noting the department he’s inherited is in good shape to handle the future challenges.

He’s also made some quick observations regarding the difference between the priorities in Vancouver and Coquitlam.

He suggested there is a much bigger challenge in this community with regards to urban wild land-interface fires as compared to Vancouver.

And unlike the Vancouver Fire Department, which is so big it rarely relies on neighbours, Pierlot said he’ll need to get used to working together with neighbouring departments in Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster and Burnaby.

But he won’t have to look too far to find a friend.

In an interesting twist, he and PoCo chief Nick Delmonico go way back.

He was Pierlot’s boss when the PoCo chief was a deputy chief of operations in Vancouver.

When Delmonico left to take the job in Port Coquitlam, Pierlot filled his job as deputy chief.

He even called his old colleague to get his take on the opportunity and to get a glimpse of the department’s operations, before taking his new job.

Meanwhile, Pierlot’s predecessor, Tony Delmonico, has been helping the chief transition into the new position.

But in coming weeks, Pierlot will be at the helm of the department, all on his own.

Moving a rosemary Acceptance is key “My friend has a big rosemary bush in her backyard that she doesn’t like to keep.

She doesn’t want to kill it either. How can I move it without killing it? Can I start a new, young rosemary from her bush?”

Mi Vuong Vancouver An old rosemary doesn’t transplant well. Because a rosemary’s native home is on rocky Mediterranean cliffs, it develops very long, farranging roots. That’s why the best way of moving rosemary successfully is to dig up the biggest root ball you can manage. But do try moving it. You may be lucky.

If you take several cuttings first, you’ll have covered all

BRANCHING OUT

the bases.

Each cutting should be two to five inches (five to 12 cm) long — and include a shoot cluster that has several leaves. This shoot should be removed along with any leaves that would end up in the soil.

The raw place left from shoot removal and the whole bottom end of each cutting should be dipped in rooting

hormone. Roots start where the hormone contacts the raw areas. Rooting hormone comes in gel or powder form.

The gel sticks better.

Potting mix for the cuttings should include perlite or grit and vermiculite or a little peat. Rosemary likes to be very well-drained. But give the cuttings a little water (don’t let them sit in water) then cover with a transparent plastic bag.

With herbs like rosemary that like sun, warmth and fairly dry conditions, the ideal is to keep them slightly moist but not wet.

Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca.

Questions? Just Ask Wim! What vegetables can I plant as winter crops?

How can I avoid bitter bolting lettuce? When is the best time to cut back rhodos? How do I overwinter my geraniums and fuchsias? What should I do about the chafer infestation that is destroying my lawn?

These are just a few of the burning questions that renowned gardening expert and PoCo resident Wim Vander Zalm answers again and again as owner of two Art Knapp Plantland garden centres and a long-time regular on CKNW’s The Bill Good Show.

His new book, Just Ask Wim!, covers horticultural concerns about all kinds of plants: vegetables, fruits and berries, herbs, annuals and perennials, shrubs, trees, hedges and vines, plus how to grow a healthy lawn organically … or replace the troublesome turf with one of many other ground cover options.

Vander Zalm also shares organic pest and weed management ideas, common-sense pruning tips, fertilization and soil-building advice, plus his often-requested mulch recipe.

WARNING

SHARE BEAR SPOTTED IN AREA

A rare, blue bear – also known as SHARE Bear – has been spotted in Belcarra!

Local residents have witnessed the bear moving closer to the city. Residents of the Tri-Cities are asked to be on guard and report any mischievous behaviour.

Authorities are unsure of the bear’s motives, however, sources close to the bear report that he’s hungry.

The Tri-Cities NOW will release further information as it becomes available.

O

ver the past few years, I’ve heard many of my patients say, “It is what it is.” At first, only those over 30 would repeat this phrase, but more recently, younger adults have picked it up.

For most, it is not an expression of resignation and surrender. Rather, it is an acceptance of reality — the facts of the present, current circumstances or a phase of life.

“It is what it is” reminds me of a much older quote: “I am what I am.”

It was first attributed to God — before He was labelled and gender-fied by us — in Exodus. It is a part of the collective unconscious of those who grew up in the 20th century with some thanks to Popeye (the sailor man), though comic artists would write it as “I yam what I yam.” Although what Popeye meant is subject to philosophical debate, I recognize in it grounded selfacceptance and authenticity.

We can consume our attention and energy on things we cannot change — where we came from, bad luck, the past and personal characteristics that are beyond our control — age, ethnicity, body type and height. We can obsess with anger, bitterness and resentment, but this accomplishes nothing good.

A necessary step towards personal peace is acceptance of the things we cannot

HEALTH WISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong change. The flip side of this is acceptance with appreciation — being thankful for the good that we have received and the positive aspects of the present moment. It comes with the recognition that we live in a changing world and we ourselves are changing. Some call it aging, others growth.

Acceptance of others — particularly those with whom we live and work — is a key to healthy relationships and personal happiness. In my children — in whom my wife and I have worked to instill the values we share, we must accept their unique personalities. Each of us has our unique challenges and strengths. Each of us is fallible and human.

Compassion allows us to accept and forgive others — and ourselves — for being imperfect and making mistakes. Appreciation allows us to recognize the good — and love enables us to see the beautiful — in one another.

The acceptance of the imperfection in ourselves and our world is the starting point of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Serenity Prayer that has

been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12step programs.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

It points to the next step, the acceptance of our own responsibility to change for the better that which we can. Hidden in the reality of the present is your potential. Recognize this and be empowered.

You may not like your body type but you can improve your level of fitness. You may have high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease, but you can make positive changes to take control of your health. You may hate your job, but it can be the stepping stone to more meaningful work. You may not be able to change the people in your life, but you can improve your relationships.

Reality might bite. The world is constantly changing, and so are we. Let’s empower ourselves to be agents of positive change.

SPORTS SHORTS

A’S OFF THE SCHNEID Like the home reno guy says, it’s just that easy.

The Coquitlam Adanacs collected their first win of the Western Lacrosse Association season on Saturday, lambasting the visiting Nanaimo Timbermen 18-7.

The A’s broke open a 6-5 game with nine straight goals in the span of 22 minutes and into the third. Leading the assault was rookie Matt Dinsdale, who finished with a gamehigh five goals and three assists, while sniper Dane Dobbie tallied four times and set up four others. Brett Hickey also scored four goals, while Jesse Guerin finished with nine points.

Despite all that offence, Coquitlam was outshot 54-44 but Adam Shute, after a rough first period, held down the fort for the win.

The Adanacs host the 2-2 New Westminster Salmonbellies on Saturday, 7 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre.

PACE MAKES IMPACT

To say the addition of Tyler Pace proved beneficial for the Port Coquitlam Saints would be an understatement.

The PoCo native returned home from his final year at a Virginia prep school and counted three goals and four assists in the Saints’ 13-6 hammering of Burnaby on Friday.

With a scholarship to Denver University locked up, Pace joined the Saints and drew an assist on Nash Harrison’s opening goal. PoCo trailed 4-3 after 20 minutes, but ramped it up over the final two frames while limiting the Lakers to just two goals.

Matt Delmonico posted a hat trick, while Garrett Chan and Harrison added two each.

The Coquitlam jr. Adanacs, meanwhile, will retire No. 23 tonight in honour of the late Trevor Wingrove during the first intermission of their game with Langley, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Poirier Sports Centre.

SIBLINGS SNARE WINS

Here’s a word of advice — don’t mess with these siblings.

At last week’s 2013 provincial boxing championships, Port Coquitlam siblings Sasan and Sara Haghighat-Joo punched their way to their respective division titles.

Seventeen-year-old Sasan kept his undefeated string intact by capturing the boys 69-kilogram senior division crown, earning a position on Team B.C. for the nationals in October.

Sister Sara, 18, picked up her fourth straight win of the year, topping the senior girls 51kg division and advancing to the senior nationals as provincial champion.

The pair train with the Maple Ridge Boxing Club.

Taking aim, Port Coquitlam’s Teagan Rasche prepares to launch another long javelin toss during Saturday’s B.C. High School Track and Field championships in Langley. The Grade 10 athlete successfully repeated as senior girls javelin champion.

Rasche repeats javelin gold Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com Port Coquitlam’s Teagan Rasche delivered a bull’s eye for District 43.

The Riverside Rapids’ javelin thrower topped the senior girls competition to nail the district’s lone gold at the B.C. Track and Field championships in Langley.

Rasche’s fourth throw not only won gold, but easily eclipsed her previous high mark.

It was the second straight year that the Grade 10 athlete had won the B.C. javelin title, and put the possibility of being the first-ever four-time provincial champ on the radar.

“I feel like I’m onto something here, because a week ago I had a really bad meet, and then I came back and had a really good meet,” said Rasche, who trains with the Langley Mustangs club. “I kind of had a feeling it was going to be a good day — my warm-ups were good and my energy was good.”

Best, Fox push finalists to brink

GIRLS TEAMS RUN OUT OF GAS AT AAA PROVINCIALS Dan OLSON sports@thenownews.com The promise of an excellent season didn’t fade as much as limped off.

For the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils senior girls soccer team, a lot of things went right until they went wrong.

Now, the team will regroup, reconcile and be rejuvenated for next year, said head coach Alfonso Napoletano following his squad’s fourth place finish at the B.C. AAA championships in North Vancouver.

“Our team is very dissappointed with finishing fourth because our ultimate goal from the start of the season was to win provincials,” noted Napoletano in an e-mail

to the Tri-Cities NOW. “Last year we also placed fourth and also lost in the semifinals to the eventual winners.”

This year’s semifinal loss — a 1-0 heartbreaker to eventual champion Argyle on Friday — had its share of difficulty, as well as controversy. Napoletano noted that some close to the play thought Argyle’s goal midway through the opening half was offside.

The Blue Devils, meanwhile, matched up well against the eventual champs despite fielding a roster that included eight junior-aged (grades 9 and 10) players.

Desperate for the equalizer, Best hit the crossbar with about five minutes to play but were relegated to the bronze

medal game.

And just like last year, the club had little left for that fifth game in three days, falling 1-0 in overtime to Kitsilano.

“We simply ran out of gas in the bronze medal game as we got scored on with four minutes remaining in overtime,” the coach added.

The Terry Fox Ravens, meanwhile, were unable to convert their Fraser Valley championship into a medal at the provincials.

Fox finished eighth overall, despite a very spirited team performance that saw them shut out the competition in the round robin but finished second in their pool.

A pair of scoreless draws, including one with eventual

finalist Oak Bay, propelled the Ravens into the consolation bracket.

“That was a tough feeling for the girls who had played their hearts out through the round robin,” noted the Ravens’ cocoach Casey Kingman. “The defense hadn’t even given up a goal. It was tough to try to pick them up after a game they didn’t even lose.”

In the playoff round, a 2-0 loss to Kelowna put Fox on its heels, and was followed with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Island champion Stelly’s.

Teagan Lefebvre, Sukhman Sidhu, Jessica Price, Alexis Cattermole and Paige Slight each earned player-of-thegame honours over the three days.

Ravens’ sprinter speeds to twin silvers CONT. FROM PAGE 23

“I obviously hoped to come out with a couple of gold medals and if not get a personal best, so to get one (PB) and medal twice was pretty good,” remarked Taylor-Lewis. “In the 100 the plan was just to make sure I come aggressively out of the blocks, because I’m not as tall as most of the runners.”

The five-foot-four runner had the lead at the 50m mark and kept a furious pace right to the end, trailing the winner by just .06 of a second. A year ago, he placed 13th in the 200m and sixth in the 100m.

“It was definitely a big step for me this year, I’ve been working my butt off since September, really, and I think

Express ink winger With an eye on addressing the team’s offence, Coquitlam Express head coach and general manager Barry Wolff announced the signing of StBruno, Que. native Nicolas Beaudin for 2013-14.

The 18-year-old winger will join the club after spending the past two years at Stanstead College, a private high school in Quebec.

“I anticipate he will be a big part of our offence,” said Wolff of the six-foot, 170-pound left winger. “His on-ice vision is real good, he’s tenacious on and away from the puck and I was really impressed by just his second and third effort.”

An assistant captain and team MVP, Beaudin led Stanstead with 31 goals and 30 assists over 58 games.

He has also seen his stock rise among North American players in preparation for next month’s NHL Entry Draft, listed as 167th among North American skaters by NHL’s Central Scouting.

the results are showing.”

Other second-place showings came from Dr. Charles Best’s Chanell Botsis, who collected second in the senior girls hammerthrow with a toss of 46.99, and Fox’s Nathan Wadhwani, who nailed silver in the 3000m boys final, posting a time of 8:35.91, a close step behind the winner.

Best runner Addy Townsend picked up her silver in the 1500m race with a new PB mark of 24:38.29, just half-asecond faster than the bronze finisher.

“My focus was to really

get top-eight and at the end I was like, I really want this,” remarked Townsend.

Her previous personal mark of 4:43 came last month in the Fraser Valleys.

“Before I came into it I thought this was a huge race, these are top girls. I’m still in Gr. 10 so I thought I just have to give it my all,” added Townsend.

Being that her mom is former Olympian and Simon Fraser University coach Brit Townsend, the teen had plenty of inspiration going into the race.
