More help demanded for kids, teachers Unions make requests at School District 43 budget meeting DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

School District 43 employment numbers show the district has hired hundreds of teachers and added hundreds more education assistants since cuts were made after a financial crunch six years ago. But a budget meeting

SD43 struggles with EA supports CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

Dave Ginter, president of CUPE Local 561, which represents district support staff, received a standing ovation for his call for provincial wage and education standards for education assistants instead of the creation of a new learning inclusion support worker position. The district is hiring 26 of these new workers, who have one year less education than EAs and are paid $23 an hour compared to $26 an hour. They’re being hired to offset a shortage of casual EAs that has resulted in schools scrambling to support students with special needs when workers are sick or on leave. “We do struggle with respect to that side of things,” said Randy Manhas, the district’s human resources principal, who said the shortage is an epidemic throughout Metro Vancouver. The district hopes the new learning support workers will help out in the classroom, freeing up time for EAs to work with students who have more intensive needs.

MORE HIRES

This is the first time SD43 has produced a multi-year framework projecting budget needs for the next three years, while also glancing back at the recent past. The budget plan, available at www.sd43.bc.ca, shows the number of teachers has climbed from a low of 1,679 in 2014, when cuts were made for financial reasons, to nearly 2,000 now as extra teachers have been hired incrementally when finances improved and money was pumped into the system after class size and composition regulations were

restored by a Supreme Court of Canada ruling. In addition, 188 education assistants have been hired in the last six years, with another 10 new hires planned for September. Still, there are concerns about how the district can keep its education assistants, and with CUPE going into local bargaining, improved working conditions, such as increasing hours from the current 30, will be on the table, Ginter said. Teachers are also concerned that while their numbers are growing, more support is needed to deal with vulnerable students.

CRISIS COUNSELLING

Ken Christensen, president of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, told trustees Tuesday that teachers are

struggling to keep up with the demand for support for students with behavioural challenges. Some have even been injured on the job and, with the workload increasing, he called for an additional youth workers, teachers and two EAs. “You’ll get a lot of bang for the buck here,” he said. Meanwhile, crisis counselling has become the norm in SD43 schools, with counsellors dealing with daily trauma from students struggling with deaths in the family and fellow students, suicidal thoughts, stress and anxiety due to technology misuse, drug problems and even gender identity issues. Counsellors are dealing with “emergency room scenes rather than a doctor’s office,” trustees were told as teachers complained that the current

ratio of one counsellor for 523 students should be halved to make schools less stressful and students more successful. In budget documents released last week, SD43 officials proposed a plan to spend $325.4 million for the next school year, up $10 million from the current year, with most of the extra money for spending coming from the provincial government and surpluses from previous years. In all, the equivalent of 50 full-time positions will be added to the budget, including more teaching time to provide additional support for middle school gifted programs and time to free up principals to do administrative tasks. As well, four more classroom teachers will be hired to cover for projected student enrolment growth.

Summer school is expanding to Burke this year School District 43 summer school registration is nearing and, this year, Burke Mountain students will have an opportunity to attend classes close to home, thanks to the opening last year of Smiling Creek elementary. From July 9 to 26, the Coquitlam school will host Kindergarten-to-Grade 1 Transition, English Reading/ Writing, Outdoor Science, Visual and Performing Arts, and Coding, also known as computational thinking. “We are pleased to add a summer learning location in this rapidly growing part of Coquitlam,” said Murray Peters, principal of the Summer Learning program, in a press release. “This will be a wonderful opportunity to get more students in this part of the school district involved in Summer Learning.” Summer Learning courses are free for students who meet the school district’s B.C. residency requirements. This summer’s program will enrol approximately 6,000 students in Grade 1 to 12 courses at 14 schools through the district. For young kids, elementary summer learning registration begins April 26 and parents are encouraged to access and update their children’s account in advance of registering. Middle and secondary registration begins April 30 and May 3. For more information, visit www.summerlearningcoquitlam.ca.

VAPING

Coq. aims to regulate vaping sales Concerns about kids getting hands on vape products

VAPING AN ISSUE IN TRI-CITY SCHOOLS School District 43 has also recently raised the issue of vaping and, earlier this year, sent a letter to parents reminding them that vaping in and around schools is banned; it also issued a fact sheets about vaping. The district and local government actions come as the federal government is seeking comments on proposed measures to limit the advertising of vaping products because of increased use by youth and studies that show that e-cigarettes, a type of vaping product, can encourage dependence and increase the risk of cigarette smoking among youth and young adults. A recent survey, Health Canada notes on its website, found 15% of youth in Grades 10 to 12 had used vaping products in the previous 30 days in 2016/’17, up from 9% in 2014/’15.

GRANT GRANGER ggranger@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam council has asked its staff to find ways the city can help prevent children from obtaining vaping products. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said parents are concerned kids are getting access to vaping products illegally and while she admitted she’s not sure what the city can do, even some effort to curb youth vaping is needed. “Even the smallest bit of legislation that can be done at the city level is something worth doing when it comes to kids,” Zarrillo told The Tri-City News last week. “This is a big problem.” The city has some control over businesses that specialize in vaping products but only within business and zoning bylaws. It doesn’t have control over the sale of the product, either by those retail outlets or by others such as convenience and drug stores since, for the most part, the product comes under federal and provincial jurisdiction. Vaping products can’t be sold to anyone under the age of 19; fines from $345 to $575 can be levied for retailers who contravene the Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act.

“Even the smallest bit of legislation... at the city level is something worth doing when it comes to kids.”

Bonita Zarrillo Coquitlam city councillor

But Zarrillo, who recently won the NDP nomination in the riding of Port MoodyCoquitlam and will be running in the next federal election, said it’s evident the product is getting in the hands of younger

kids, adding, “It’s starting to be a bigger problem in middle schools.” There are currently three vaping stores in Coquitlam, with a fourth in the planning stages, at Lansdowne Drive and Guildford Way — close to Eagle Ridge Pool, Scott Creek middle school and Gleneagle secondary.

Mayor Richard Stewart said he would also like to see the city do something to crack down on kids acquiring vaping products. As an example, he noted that while a city can’t ban pesticides from being sold in the city, it can ban them from being used. “I worry that the convenience store not far from [a

vaping store] could sell them, even if we found a way to ban them from a zoning perspective for dedicated businesses. I don’t know how to manage that,” Stewart said at the April 8 council-of-the-whole meeting. Zarrillo said it’s unfortunate vaping is being accepted in recent years and warned children need to be protected from related products. She also said more data needs to be collected on the impact vaping can have on children. Coun. Chris Wilson backed Zarrillo’s request, saying, ”For a lot of parents, this is an issue. And our job is to support a community need, and this is a community need.” A Fraser Health spokesperson said the regional authority regularly conducts inspections of tobacco and vapour product retailers.

Enforcement officers with regional health authorities have a multi-stage process for dealing with vaping and tobacco problems. They start with education and awareness, follow up with a verbal warning, a letter warning, ticketing and, finally, an administrative hearing. Enforcement officers may also use minors as test shoppers as part of their inspection routines. “We always want to ensure that the public is safe from the harmful effects of these products,” said Aletta Vanderheyden. She did not comment on whether Fraser Health believes there are any actions a municipality could take to help prevent vaping products from getting in the hands of children. — with files from Diane Strandberg

On the eve of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first legal 4/20 event, a Port Coquitlam committee voted this week to move forward with four bids for pot shops. But city staff say the municipal process will take some time before the public has its say and the cannabis retail outlets can open. Tuesday, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee of council gave the green light for council to consider rezoning for two private and two public cannabis stores. Burb, co-owned by Riverside secondary graduate Steve Dowsley and Terry Fox grad John Kaye as well as Clayton Chessa, has already secured sites at PoCo Place mall and a strip mall at the corner of Mary Hill Bypass and Broadway Street. (Saturday, it hosts an opening at the latter outlet, selling only burb apparel and cannabis-related accessories.) In addition, the committee recommended two applications for government-owned BC Cannabis stores, located at 970 Dominion Ave. (off Nicola Avenue, near Costco) and another for 1971 Lougheed Hwy., in the same strip mall as No Frills (off Oxford Street).

POCO EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Another change in 911 protocols for PoCo city staff after fire chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March memo goes public: see page 19 City staff recommended both burb sites and the BC Cannabis Store at Dominion but gave the committee three options for the Oxford/ Lougheed area; it voted for the public provider because of its community perks. According to a staff report, burb intends to provide undefined social initiatives and contributions to the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation, a philanthropic group, and the PoCo Sports

Alliance as well as an annual $2,500 scholarship to a graduating student from a PoCo high school. It will also pay its 25 employees a living wage, the city report states. As for the provincial Liquor Distribution Branch, which is rolling out its network of BC Cannabis stores across B.C., some of its profits will support education around cannabis use and will fundraise for dry grad events and local charities; its cannabis outlet work-

force will be unionized. PoCo Mayor Brad West said the city may also stand to gain financially from public cannabis stores should the province agree to a revenue-sharing model with municipalities, much like it has for gambling proceeds. (Coquitlam, which is home to the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver, reaps 10% of net proceeds from the venue, or about $8 million a year.) Still, there will be more pot stores in PoCo. The committee deferred its decision for a downtown cannabis outlet pending a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantâ&#x20AC;? development in the Downtown Action Plan, West said without elaborating. The city has three rezoning bids at: â&#x20AC;˘ 2338 Marpole Ave. (Elevate Cannabis);

â&#x20AC;˘ 2342 Elgin Ave. (Cannabis Store, in the Samz Pub liquor store); â&#x20AC;˘ and A-2541 Shaughnessy St. (Kiaro, in the same strip mall as SuperValu). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel no urgency to move forward on a cannabis store at this timeâ&#x20AC;? for the downtown, West insisted to Coun. Darrell Pennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition. The committee also put on hold nine other applications. In total, city staff reviewed 18 rezoning bids for cannabis shops between Feb. 6 and March 6, assessing each on commercial location, one-kilometre separation, proximity to schools and gathering places, store appearance, neighbourhood support and community benefit provision. Dowsley told The Tri-City

News that burb will be ready to transition from apparel to cannabis once it gets government approvals. Burbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Broadway store is outfitted with a bohemian vibe and has a large warehouse in the back to store cannabis strains, which will sell at $9 to $16 a gram, he said. And its smaller outlet at PoCo Place is set to open in the summer as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;express store.â&#x20AC;? Burb has a 65-page master plan for security, Dowsley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have all the infrastructure and staff in place long before we get our approvals,â&#x20AC;? he told The Tri-City News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be ready.â&#x20AC;? By comparison, a BC Cannabis Store typically takes about 40 weeks to open. Other pot shop applicants were at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee meeting, including former Maple Ridge mayor Nicole Read â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a consultant for goodtrees, which has a bid for 1021940 Oxford Connector â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Andrew Gordon (Kiaro), who works with stakeholders across Canada to reduce the social stigma around cannabis. Gordon told The Tri-City News that Kiaro, which has its flagship store in Saskatoon, is branching out to B.C. and will now improve its two applications for PoCo cannabis shops based on city staff feedback. The cost for city business licence for a cannabis retail establishment will be the same as for a liquor store: $1,500 a year.

7 projects will get Port Moody grants

Moody group aims to take fear out of getting around

Volunteer and eco projects among those to get funding MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Money to reimburse gas expenses of volunteers who drive cancer patients to their treatments; a project to paint a canoe that will be placed in Queens Street plaza and turned into a garden; and a blitz to reduce litter from cigarette butts are amongst the five projects voted by Port Moody’s citizen advisory group to receive funding from the city’s community grant program. Tuesday, city council’s finance committee added two more to the list, from the 24 applications that were vying for a piece of the program’s $18,000 allocation for this year. The seven projects approved for funding by the finance committee are: • Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society, which requested $2,000 to reimburse its drivers for minor expenses and gas; • PoCoMo Meals on Wheels Society, which asked for $1,200 to help pay for food and supplies being delivered to Port Moody residents who can’t get out of their homes; • Port Moody Ecological

Society, which requested $1,700 to fund a community painting project of a canoe, to be donated to the city’s arts and culture committee for placement in the Queens Street plaza, where it will be used as a garden planter; • Access Youth Outreach Services, which will receive $6,500 of the $10,000 it requested to help pay for the operation of a shuttle bus that is used for outreach work and provide resources to atrisk youth two nights a week at “hot-spots” they frequent; • Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, which requested $3,000 to be used towards a project to educate the public about the harm caused by cigarette butt litter, as well as distribute reusable pocket ashtrays along with placing special receptacles to collect those butts for recycling; • Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society, which will get $2,500 of the $5,000 it requested to help finance a film about local activist, volunteer and centenarian Mary Anne Cooper; • and Pacific Post Partum Support Society, which will get $1,000 to bolster its telephone support counselling service for new mothers and families coping with depression and anxiety.

Focus has been on cars but has to shift, says safety advocate MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

A newly formed group of Port Moody parents is hoping to get the city to think differently about how traffic moves through the city to create a safer environment for kids walking to school and pedestrians in general. Lesley Evans Ogden led a delegation from the Port Moody Active Transportation Committee in its pitch to council’s committee of the whole Tuesday. She said the car-first mentality of much transportation planning in suburban communities isn’t good enough anymore. “Suburbs have focussed on making things easy for the car while pedestrians and cyclists are an afterthought,” Evans Ogden said, adding the committee originally formed late last year out of concerns about speeding drivers near some of Port Moody’s schools, especially in the Glenayre neighbourhood. She said safety challenges faced by pedestrians and cyclists are only getting worse as higher density developments are built with little consideration for how residents living

in those projects might get around their own immediate neighbourhood. That’s particularly important for getting kids to and from school safely, Evans Ogden said. “We want our kids to have the independence to walk and cycle to school.” She said fear often plays too big a role in determining how people choose to get around; that’s why traffic jams are common around schools as parents shuttle their kids to and from home in the family vehicle, even if they live only

a few blocks away. That traffic not only adds to the safety challenge, it also contributes to global concerns like health and fitness as well as climate change. “Transportation touches on so many areas,” Evans Ogden said. While the Road Safety Law Reform Group of BC, which is made up of representatives from the legal community, cycling organizations and research groups, has advocated for a province-wide default speed limit of 30 km/h for local streets without a centre line,

Evans Ogden said there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, she suggested a mix of better enforcement of existing speed limits, installation of warning beacons near troublesome crossings, along with the construction of wider sidewalks and more bike lanes physically separated from car traffic, will make getting around safer for everyone, as well as improve our wellbeing. “Cycling and walking brings a bigger sense of community,” Evans Ogden said. “It’s healthier for people.”

It’s high time B.C. cleaned stain of money laundering

Last Week

German report, more cash from feds are good initial steps NORTH SHORE NEWS @NorthShoreNews

n 2018, a massive money laundering prosecution fell apart in a Richmond courtroom. These are complex investigations that take expertise and resources, but according to the latest report from Peter German, there isn’t one full-time RCMP investigator focused on money laundering in B.C. The handful of officers who were involved in the aforementioned case were mainly focused on referring files to the director of civil forfeiture, who can use the courts to seize the proceeds

POWEROFFOREVER/ISTOCK

of crime without the heavy lifting required for a criminal conviction. While we are happy to see people handling dirty money taken to the cleaners, we would much rather see them working in the prison laundry. The international criminals who turned B.C. into a

laundromat for filthy cash are profiting from the drug trade and contributing to the fentanyl epidemic that’s claiming thousands of lives each year. They’re also stashing illgotten gains in real estate which is worsening our affordability crisis. Without a hint of irony,

the BC Liberal caucus took to social media to criticize the NDP for the “failure.” But, when in government, the BC Liberals not only ignored warnings about rampant money laundering — including people showing up at casinos with hockey bags full of cash — they actively suppressed reports underscoring the problem. The most recent budget from the federal Liberals committed more resources to fighting money laundering, which, evidently, we need. And new provincial rules mandating transparency in property ownership will make it harder for gangs to hide their earnings, which we also welcome. Money laundering has become a stain on British Columbia. It’s time we dealt with our dirty laundry.

Is the federal government doing enough to battle climate change?

NO YES

Dangerous directive in PoCo needs to be changed

Kudos, cops, for autism attention

The Editor, Re. “Continued fight over fire/ambo dispatching” (The Tri-City News, April 11). A leaked internal directive from the fire chief of Port Coquitlam directs city employees when calling for a medical emergency at city facilities to instead of asking for an ambulance, request to talk to the fire dispatcher so that they can attend the call. The fire chief goes on to insist that an ambulance will not be delayed but, in reality an ambulance is delayed three to seven minutes. If you are having a heart attack or stroke,

CHIEF NICK DELMONICO

this time is priceless and can never be recovered. But the

A15

fire department will arrive and apparently everything will be all right. Mayor Brad West and PoCo city council were obviously misinformed. City facilities have, by law, first aid on site that is equally qualified as fire first responders and, therefore, there is no issue with liability. But a city employee delaying an ambulance potentially opens the community to civil litigation. The 911 system is utilized by thousands of communities across North America. It’s effective and citizens know how to use the system when needed.

To change the rules invites confusion, delays and potentially worsens outcomes. If Mayor West and council are so sure of this directive, then why was it hidden from the residents of Port Coquitlam? Why are we the only community to move in this direction? For a group of elected officials that promised transparency this is certainly not it. In my opinion, this affects the safety, health and outcome of our residents and their families. Time to re-think this directive. Geoff Taylor, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “PoMo cops CAN learn about autism” (The Tri-City News, April 11). I just wanted to say thank you for this article because, being 17 and on the autistic spectrum, it is awesome to hear that emergency personnel are on board and that special needs people are finally not being mistaken for being badly behaved. It feels great knowing that police recognize autism spectrum disorder and won’t attack people for being different or acting different. It is so cool that a cop has made a whole website to have ASD recognized. This

Belcarra cabin dwellers get a temporary reprieve as their case goes to court

Latest measles outbreak may have a Coquitlam link

Metro Vancouver wants to use area where cabins located

STEFAN LABBE @slabbe@tricitynews.com

GARY MCKENNA gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Metro Vancouver’s sixyear battle to evict a group of cabin-dwellers from Belcarra Regional Park is heading back to court. The effort to remove the longtime residents hit a legal roadblock in February when B.C.’s Residential Tenancy Branch failed to uphold the region’s two-month notice to vacate. Now, Metro Vancouver is taking the residents to court, saying the arbitrator’s decision should be set aside or remitted back to the tenancy branch for a new hearing. The regional district has stated it intends to use the land for public park space and retain the cabins as an “interpretive landscape display.” But because the land use has not been determined for one of the cabins, the arbitrator said the region had not established the property would be used for purposes other than residential. In its petition to the court, Metro Vancouver said it has been clear about its intentions for the property. “The entirety of the evidence was that the whole of the rental property, including all of the cabins, would cease any residential use and be converted to non-residential use as public park land,” said Metro’s court document. The petition is the latest battle in a six-year legal dispute between Metro Vancouver and the residents of seven cabins in Belcarra Regional Park, who rent their cabins on the eastern shoreline of Indian Arm. The regional district, which owns the land, wants to demolish several of the cottages

“There’s a huge anxiety. It takes a toll. It becomes your life. That anxiety can also make you dig your heels in and say this isn’t right.”

to improve waterfront access and provide more parking for park visitors. The plan also calls for the construction of a 700-metre trail, two toilet facilities and the restoration of natural habitat around a pond and the cottages. Metro

Vancouver estimates the total cost for the project will be about $4.3 million. Jo Ledingham, who has lived in one of the cottages for 17 years, and first started visiting it in the summers starting in 1964, said the long legal fight has

been frustrating for residents. “There’s huge anxiety,” she said. “It takes a toll. It becomes your life. “That anxiety can also make you dig your heels in and say this isn’t right,” she added. Ledingham said she would like to see an arrangement where residents of the cabins continue to reside in the park even as Metro improves waterfront access. But she said the region seems determined to move ahead with its plans, even if it means evicting the residents. “They will just keep doing this,” she said. “It is taking them longer than they wanted.”

Infected person was at Coquitlam hotel and restaurant

A new case of measles has been identified in the Fraser Health region — in Coquitlam, in fact — marking the 27th confirmed case so far this year in B.C. The infected individual caught the disease while overseas and was in several public places, including a Coquitlam hotel and restaurant, while they were infectious, according to Fraser Health. The health authority recommends anyone who was on flight JL018 from Tokyo to Vancouver or who was in the international terminal of Vancouver International Airport between 10:25 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. last Saturday to review their immunization history and watch for symptoms. Guests at the Ramada by Wyndam hotel (631 Lougheed Hwy.) or the Sun Star Restaurant inside the hotel between 8:30 a.m. and noon Saturday may have also been exposed. Shoppers at Lougheed Town Centre between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on the same day may also be at risk. “If there’s a fever and a rash, and you’ve been at one of those places potentially exposed, then we would ask that you phone your doctor, you let them know that you think you might have measles,” said Dr. Ingrid Tyler, medical health officer at Fraser Health. The health authority said people should phone their physicians before going for an examination to allow the doctor to take precautions to protect other patients from exposure. Symptoms often start with a high fever, a runny nose and itchy eyes, followed by a rash that develops on the

face and moves down the body over three to four days. Measles can lead to pneumonia, inflammation of the brain, seizures, deafness, brain damage and death. Someone infected with the measles is generally contagious from four days before to four days after the rash starts, meaning that if you think you were exposed, you should look out for symptoms until May 5. The most recent confirmed infection was acquired outside the country and is not connected to any previous case in the Lower Mainland, according to the health authority. “We’ve been responding to the cases as they’re coming up, we’ve been reminding our physicians to report suspected measles cases. We’ve been working on the [provincial health] ministry catch-up campaign,” said Tyler. Measles can be transmitted through the air, close contact like kissing, or by sharing food, drinks or a cigarette with an infected person. The most effective way to fight the spread of the disease is through population-level immunization programs to achieve what is known as herd immunity. Residents of the Tri-Cities can get the measles vaccine at a family doctor or walk-in clinic. Many pharmacies also stock the measles vaccination for adults and children over five years old.

PoCo changes 911 protocol after blowback from memo

Piano teacher who was charged dies

New protocol for city staff in case of a medical emergency

“If it’s a serious case, like CPR is needed, then we start giving those instructions to people on the phone.”

STEFAN LABBÉ slabbe@tricitynews.com

The city of Port Coquitlam announced a new 911 protocol for city facilities this week, spelling out what city staff should do in the event of a medical emergency — and the new directive contradicts a memo the fire chief issued last month. In the March memo, PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico directed city staff, in case of a medical emergency at a city facility, to call 911 and ask for “fire.” The memo was written in response to what Mayor Brad West and Delmonico said were ambulance wait times that far exceeded other parts of Metro Vancouver. News of the memo sparked a strong response from BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) as well as unions representing paramedics as far away as Ontario. Any delay in calling the ambulance service, they said, could cost lives. But just as the memo set off a fresh round of controversy last week, BCEHS CEO Barb Fitzsimmons spoke with Delmonico, slowly defusing what Mayor West described as “pissing matches between groups of first responders.” By now directing city staff to call for an ambulance first, Delmonico has assuaged BCEHS’s number one concern, that callers wouldn’t get timely medical advice to clear a blocked airway or perform CPR on someone suffering from cardiac arrest. Delmonico’s new two-stage 911 protocol directs city staff to

call BCEHS first, thereby giving them access to a call-taker trained to provide medical advice until help can arrive. Callers would first be asked some basic questions, like where they are, their phone number, as well as the age, weight and status of the person suffering the medical emergency, said BCEHS spokesperson Shannon Miller. “If it’s a serious case, like CPR is needed, then we start giving those instructions to people on the phone,” she said. Under the standard protocol, whenever someone calls 911 and asks for the ambulance, the call taker codes the call based on how severe the medical emergency is.

If it’s a life-threatening case, like cardiac arrest, or a car accident where paramedics don’t have the tools or expertise to remove the injured from a crushed vehicle, then an automatic electronic notification gets sent to fire dispatch in Surrey, whose dispatchers then notify Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency. But under PoCo’s new protocol for medical emergencies at city facilities — which in addition to city hall, includes recreation centres and pools — Delmonico is directing city staff to make a separate, second call to muster firefighters to the scene. “This win-win solution was the result of the productive discussions we had this

past week with BC Emergency Health Services,” and Delmonico in a press release. In the release, Delmonico also said the city’s primary concern has always been to ensure that its staff members get the support they need and that residents get the best, fastest care possible. “This new process ensures that a fire resource will attend the site regardless of how BC Ambulance Service codes serious medical calls,” Delmonico said in an email to The Tri-City News yesterday. But while the new protocol addresses BCEHS’s primary issue, Miller said the organization is still concerned with the prospect that PoCo firefighters won’t be available when the ambulance service needs their quick response time and expertise. “If we notify fire for a motorvehicle incident and they are tied up in a non-urgent call, they [will be] unavailable for when we need them most,” said the BCEHS spokesperson. “I guess at this point we’re seeing if a call comes up where this happens.”

A Coquitlam piano teacher accused of sexually assaulting and sexually interfering with his students during private lessons died last Thursday. Monday, Coquitlam RCMP said police would not be releasing details into the death of Dmytro ‘Dmitri’ Kubyshkin but Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said it is not considered suspicious. Mounties have since forwarded the file to the BC Coroner’s Service, whose spokesperson, Andy Watson, said the agency wouldn’t be confirming or releasing the circumstances related to the death, for privacy reasons. Dan McLaughlin, communications counsel for the BC Prosecution Services, told The Tri-City News the 15 charges against Kubyshkin have since been “abated.”

“There will be no further proceedings,” McLaughlin said in an email. Lawyer Troy Anderson said he was no longer representing Kubyshkin and he was unaware he had died. The 68-year-old man was due to have his second pre-trial conference in Port Coquitlam provincial court June 21 after he pleaded not guilty to the offences last fall and elected to proceed to trial; a 12-day hearing was set for this summer and fall. The charges involved 11 individuals at their homes in Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey and Delta between 1998 and 2016, Coquitlam Mounties said. Kubyshkin, who operated DM Piano School for more than 20 years, faced nine charges of sexual assault, four counts of touching for a sexual purpose and two invitations to persons under the ages of 14 and 16 to touch him.

GUILTY PLEA TO BREACH A former employee of the city of Port Coquitlam sentenced last year for stealing about $175,000 from the municipality admitted last Thursday to breaching conditions of his sentence. Dean McIntosh, 53, pleaded guilty to two offences — visiting a casino and staying out past his curfew — before PoCo provincial court Judge Shehni Dossa. McIntosh apologized for his actions, telling Dossa during the hearing, “I do assure the court it won’t happen again.” Dossa agreed to the Crown and defence lawyers’ submission that no additional penalty be imposed against McIntosh, who is serving an 18-month conditional sentence order. The judge gave credit to McIntosh for his guilty pleas but reminded him sentence is a jail term being served in the community. Last year, McIntosh pleaded guilty to one charge of false pretence over $5,000 after he took about $175,000 from the city over a three-year period. He bought tools and small machines by using a city credit card and through the city’s purchasing system, then resold the items through a third-party broker between April 2014 and October 2016, the city stated.

Ice cream expansion on Brewers Row Port Moody’s Rocky Point Ice Cream set for major expansion MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

To put it in ice cream terminology, Port Moody’s Rocky Point Ice Cream is going from a single scoop to a fully dressed sundae. The cherry on top will be a new 6,000-sq. ft. production facility Rocky Point proprietors Jamie and Yvette Cuthbert plan to open at the nearby Western Safety fire and safety equipment warehouse they recently acquired. For the Cuthberts, who started Rocky Point Ice Cream in 1997 as an adjunct to their kayak rental business in Rocky Point Park, taking their brand to the next level is as much about their commitment to the community in which it was born as it is about being able to make more frozen delights. The new facility will allow the Cuthberts’ staff to produce

Jamie and Yvette Cuthbert, owners of Rocky Point Ice Cream, which has operated in Port Moody since 1997, have recently purchased the Western Safety warehouse near Rocky Point Park, where they plan to build a new production facility. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

more than 600 litres of ice cream an hour, up from the 170,000 litres they can make in an entire year in the 14-by20-foot production space they currently lease near Moody Ales. Their ice cream will go to its shop next to the pool at

Rocky Point Park, two food trucks and a trailer that are dispatched to farmers’ markets and community events around Metro Vancouver, as well as two new outlets — one in New Westminster set to open in May and another in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park

that will anchor a new food concession area planned for this summer. Rocky Point also wholesales its ice cream to concession operators at the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver as well as Stanley Park. But with the Flavelle Lands

and Moody Centre poised for redevelopment, Jamie Cuthbert said he was reluctant to commit to expanding his current leased facility only to see it overwhelmed by ballooning property values. So he began casting as far afield as Port Coquitlam for a bigger space. It was serendipity and a connection with the family that owns Western Safety that presented an opportunity to meet Rocky Point’s expanding need for ice cream right across the skateboard park from the location of its first concession. “We couldn’t really pass it up,” Jamie Cuthbert said. “We can stay in Port Moody. It shows our commitment to the community.” Yvette Cuthbert said the new facility, which will be more like a micro-creamery, will also allow them to have better control over the consistency and quality of their product, which they first started making on their own in 2013 after both she and Jamie attended a kind of five-day ice cream boot camp at Ontario’s University of Guelph. “Making ice cream is com-

plicated,” Yvette Cuthbert said, adding even the volume of air that gets into the ice cream as flavours are mixed in and it’s poured into tubs can affect the flavour, so having more efficient control will make a better product from start to finish. But going bigger won’t mean losing touch with what has made their ice cream so beloved, she said. They’ll still source ingredients like fruit locally, and they’re still small enough to adjust Rocky Point’s roster of more than 150 flavours according to the taste demands of their customers. “If sweet and salty is hot, we can do that,” she said, adding vegan and non-dairy ice creams are also gaining popularity. Jamie Cuthbert said while the design of the new facility is still in its early stages, he envisions an open space where visitors can watch how the ice cream is made, then enjoy it in the café or on the adjacent outdoor patio. “We’ve built a brand that’s great but now we have greater expectations,” he said.

Septic solution closer for Anmore Green Hooking up to Port Moody pipes not likely by September MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

A sewer connection to the Anmore Green Estates strata complex that would resolve its failing septic system is a step closer. But it’s unlikely the pipe to a sewer hookup in Port Moody, just 60 metres away, will be in place when students at nearby Eagle Mountain middle school — whose grounds have been contaminated by leaching from the septic system — head back to school in September after summer vacation, said Juli Halliwell, Anmore’s chief administrative officer. Halliwell said an amendment to the village’s official community plan that was adopted last Tuesday by village council is an important step in the process that will allow the sewer connection to happen. But there’s not enough time for other elements to be

in place so an application can be submitted to the ministry of municipal affairs for the village to become a member of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Discharge District (GVS&DD), which administers sewer systems in the region. Halliwell said a membership application would have to be completed by April 15 for it to be reviewed and forwarded to the provincial cabinet to approve through an order in

council before the legislature recesses for the summer. And the village still hasn’t reached an agreement with Anmore Green’s strata on how it will pay for the GVS&DD membership. “When Anmore becomes a member, the village is on the hook for those costs,” Halliwell said. “In this circumstance, council feels it is only fair the residents who are benefitting from the ser-

vice to pay those fees.” But Brandie Roberts, the vice-president of Anmore Green’s strata, said residents in the 51-unit complex have yet to receive a full accounting of what those fees might be. “We cannot commit to untold financial risk,” she said, adding the strata’s residents have already committed to pay for the construction of the connection as well as its maintenance and annual flow charges to the city of Port Moody for using its sewer services. Jason Smith, Anmore’s manager of development services, said GVS&DD membership levies are determined by actual use of the sewer system as well as a share of capital costs to pay for the expansion of the region’s sewer systems based on each community’s growth projections. Roberts said that’s an unrealistic expectation to put upon the strata’s residents. “They are telling us we will be charged for everything in perpetuity,” she said, adding a lawsuit filed by the strata last fall in B.C. Supreme Court to challenge the village’s down-

zoning of property above the septic fields has yet to receive a court date. She said the strata wants to be able to subdivide that property into 11 lots that can be developed to help pay some of the connection costs. Halliwell said Anmore has done everything to put the pieces in place for a sewer connection, including reaching an agreement in principle with Port Moody for the hookup and developing a plan for managing all the village’s liquid waste that is scheduled to come before council next Tuesday for submission to the Ministry of Environment by April 30. That plan was mandated by the ministry when it issued a pollution-abatement order to the village last August in order to expedite a solution to the ongoing leaks of water contaminated with E. coli and fecal coliform from Anmore Green’s septic fields that were first detected during routine tests at the base of the hillside near Eagle Mountain middle in September 2017. As a result of those tests, the ministry issued a pollution-abatement order

to the strata in November 2017, and Anmore Green then erected steel blue fencing to prevent kids from accessing the area. After a series of engineering reports concluded the only solution to prevent further leaks is a connection to a nearby sewer pipe, the strata and village began negotiations to make that happen but Halliwell said they bogged down over the Christmas season. Roberts said the problem may be too complex for the village to resolve without help from higher levels of government. “The village is a small municipality with limited knowledge and ability,” she said. Halliwell concedes the issue has many layers but, she said, Anmore is doing everything in its capacity so regional and provincial authorities can take up the ball from there. “When this first came up, I think it was thought the process was going to be a lot more straightforward,” she said. “The village is working as hard as we can to resolve this issue.”

Coq. man has had issues with a bus from Braid SkyTrain station GRANT GRANGER ggranger@tricitynews.com

Tim Newman has sympathy for bus drivers and TransLink employees who handle complaint calls so he often rolls with the punches on his commute from Coquitlam to Burnaby’s Metrotown. “They deal with some nasty people and they always keep their cool,” Newman said. But even he had reached the point when he had to vent because the bus he takes to get home frequently doesn’t show up. Newman has been riding the 156 route, which loops around southwest Coquitlam to Braid SkyTrain station every morning for about 20 years and then takes it back during the afternoon rush. Although it’s scheduled to run at 30-minute intervals, Newman said there have been times when he and his fellow commuters have had to wait up to 90 minutes. “Trying to get home at the end of the day is an absolute crapshoot,” said Newman, who added what should be a 32-minute commute often takes triple or more time to complete. A couple of weeks ago, he took the 153 bus instead of continuing to wait, forcing him to walk a kilometre out of his way to get home.

But last Tuesday, he’d had enough. After an interminable wait, a 153 bus, which he said uses the same bay at Braid as the 156, was also late. It was still occupying the spot when the 156 finally arrived and parked in a different bay. The latter bus let out its passengers and, by the time Newman and about 15 to 20 others realized it was their bus, it had departed without them. “[Tuesday] night was just the ultimate in ‘you’ve got to be kidding me,’” Newman told The Tri-City News. The same day, he said, his 15-year-old daughter, a student at Centennial secondary, waited an hour for the 156 to show up after she’d completed extracurricular activities. “That I find extremely disturbing.” A solution may soon be on the way. TransLink spokesperson Lida Paslar said several routes suffer from similar issues and dealing with it has been on the operations department’s radar for a while. The company hopes a change that will kick in April 22 will provide a fix. Paslar said the delays for the 156 route — and other small routes in the system — were being caused because bus operators would often complete a different route before continuing on to smaller ones such as 156. So when congestion caused delays on the first route, the second felt it, too. Paslar said the new plan will discontinue the practice of operators continuing on to another route, which should improve reliability.

CHILD CARE

Several local daycares get a long look from health authority Remediation actions required after Fraser Health inspections JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Ten licensed childcare centres in the Tri-Cities were investigated last fall by Fraser Health, including a Coquitlam facility where two children wandered away in the same week. According to the latest report of complaint findings — issued by the regional health authority in February — Parkland Players was asked to submit a corrective action plan after a child in its care left the group at its Regan Avenue facility Sept. 11, 2018 and was found by a member of the public nearby. Fraser Health logged a similar complaint three days later when another Parkland Players child went missing and the matter wasn’t reported, as is required. Owner Shohreh Mansourian told The Tri-City News last Wednesday both incidents were “unfortunate” and were addressed immediately; two employees were also fired for failing to disclose the second event, she said. “It was the first time in our 25-year history this has happened,” she said of the missing children. “This is very upsetting as we have a good reputation and we take pride in our business.” Last month, the private company — which oversees about 30 children and has nine employees — was ordered to provide an additional safety plan after a number of violations were discovered during two routine, unscheduled inspections of the premises. The violations included: three open electrical outlets in the group childcare room; exposed drywall in the preschool rooms; and access to hazardous cleaning supplies under the bathroom sink. As well, Parkland Players didn’t have criminal record check documentation for two staff. The Fraser Health complaints summary, which can be viewed online, points to

nine other licensed childcare facilities in the Tri-Cities with contraventions last fall (they have since been addressed and no further action was required). They are: • Heritage Mountain Daycare (145 Ravine Dr, Port Moody): Care was provided to children who didn’t meet the age requirement of the program. • Kiddies Korner Preschool (2211 Prairie Ave., Port Coquitlam): Child wasn’t redirected from drinking water from a gutter downspout while playing outside. • Kids & Company (220 Brew St., Port Moody): Staff shook cribs during nap time contrary to facility policy and there was an inappropriate staff-to-child ratio. • Kinder Joy Daycare (406 Glencoe Dr., Port Moody): A child was restrained to manage behaviour. • Ladybird Montessori Learning Academy (2-3 1180 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam): Inappropriate staffing qualifications. • Little Dolphins Daycare (1282 Lansdowne Dr., Coquitlam): Unavailable records. • Little Treasures Daycare (450 Blue Mountain St., Coquitlam): Inappropriate guidance and discipline by a staff member. • Moonlight Day Care (2292 Warrenton Ave., Coquitlam): Inappropriate guidance and discipline. • School of Early Learning (103-3200 Westwood St., Port Coquitlam): A child was physically restrained for discipline, and Fraser Health wasn’t notified about the action. Under the provincial Community Care and Assisted Living Act, Fraser Health is required to investigate all complaints against licensed and unlicensed childcare facilities. Concerns or complaints can be made by anyone to the Community Care Facilities Licensing program on allegations that include: abuse; non-compliance with licensing regulations; and care and supervision provided.

CHILD CARE IN THE TRI-CITIES

COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING

Cash for child care planning in Tri-Cities

3227 and 3239 St. Johns Street, Port Moody

Research being done into child care needs in this region DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Grants totalling $75,000 for child care planning in Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam won’t solve the daycare crisis today but will go a long way towards the implementation of a $10-a-day plan, says a B.C. advocate. “It’s another important step towards it,” said Sharon Gregson of the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. “We have to make sure taxpayers’ money is spent wisely and the way to do that is to have public parties and cities and school districts plan for a daycare system so we move from a crazy patchwork of what happens now towards a wellplanned system of where we expand and how we expand.” Last month, the Ministry of Children and Family

Development announced that the three cities had each received $25,000 as part of a province-wide roll out of $1.3 million in funding for local planning grants. Money is expected to help cities create an inventory of existing child care spaces, identify how many child care spaces are needed now and how many will be needed over the coming years, as well as the type of child care that is needed. Information will be shared with the Ministry of Children and Family Development to help inform future provincial child care investments, according to a government press release. While the money won’t bring 10-a-day child care to the Tri-Cities right away, Gregson said it’s an important part of a provincial system. It comes as the province is trying out a pilot project that converted 50 facilities across B.C. into $200 a month child care spaces. The project, which costs about $60 million, will

continue until 2020. Gregson said the NDPgovernment plan to move towards $10-a-day care won’t eliminate private childcare but will ensure standards for quality, decent pay for early child care workers and low fees for families. All three cities had to apply for the Union of BC Municipalities grant to be able conduct more research. Plans are for online surveys for parents and child care providers, an open house to talk about the issues, visits to local child care centres, interviews with community partners, a workshop co-hosted jointly by the cities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody and targeted interviews with parents and child care providers with unique needs and supports. The target date for completing the strategy is early 2020. The research is being done as School District 43 launches a task force to look into ways to promote more child care spaces in the region.

PUBLIC DANCE

Last dance at the old PoCo rec centre Tickets now on sale for the May 4 party at the rec complex JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Before the Green Arena turns into a heap of rubble — making way for a new downtown community centre in Port Coquitlam — there’ll be a send-off to remember its history of hosting graduations, dances, teen skates and sports games over the years. “The Last Dance at the Old Rec Centre” is the name for the homecoming, a bash organized by the Port Coquitlam Events Society that will see 500 tickets sold to guests wanting to take a trip down memory lane before the second phase of the rebuild starts this fall. And the party on May 4 will feature sounds from two bands known for their gigs around town: 24seven, which takes the stage at 8 p.m., followed by Talk Nerdy to Me. Jeff Garrett, who plays keyboards in 24seven (formerly AWOL), said his group was pleased to be invited to the goodbye: In the past, its members have played the rec centre for special occasions — vocalist Jeff Blair performed to a packed rink at the national ringette tournament in 1983 — and they have strong connections through sports. Its dance set list will be a

blast from the past — mostly Canadian anthems from the 1980s, he said. “We are a PoCo band with so many local fans and friends,” Garrett told The TriCity News. “Every time we play in PoCo, it’s a party and this one will be no exception. It’s going to be a nostalgic reunion, filled with memories and emotion as we say goodbye to the building that many of us grew up in or now have kids that grew up in.” Drummer Fraser McKean of Talk Nerdy to Me — the headliner that starts its act at 10 p.m. — said his bandmates also have close ties to the rec

centre on Wilson Avenue. Their music program for the night? “Lotsa big ‘80s hits,” he said. “We like to play live classic rock for people and performing in larger venues is always fun.” Tickets at $20 for the Last Dance at the Old Rec Centre are via tickettailor.com/events/ pocoeventssociety/246821/. Tickets can also be purchased by the Port Coquitlam Events Society members and dance organizers: Coun. Dean Washington, Kayla Steele, Patrick McCarthy, Stephanie Setchel and Jackie Visser. The adults-only event runs from 7 p.m. to midnight.

Baylis picked for PoCo Pride art Rainbow tiles around Leigh Square fountain to go in August JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Tiles painted in rainbow flag colours is the concept for the city of Port Coquitlam’s first-ever Pride art. Last Friday, the municipality announced professional artist — and Riverside secondary graduate — Steve Baylis won the contract to lead the public-participation project. Aimed at promoting diversity and recognizing the LGBTQ2+ community, the artwork will surround the fountain at Leigh Square Community Arts Village, next to PoCo city hall; a commemorative plaque will also be installed. “Having grown up in Port Coquitlam, I’m quite familiar with the space,” the Maple Ridge resident told The TriCity News Monday. Tonight (Thursday), Baylis

will talk about his Pride art at the city’s cultural roundtable, which is open to the public, happening from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery at the Gathering Place at Leigh Square. At the meeting, Baylis will also encourage PoCo residents to take part in workshops in late July and August (dates and times to be determined) to paint the tiles.

The artwork is expected to be unveiled in the lead up to Pride Week in mid-August. Baylis said he’s excited to take on his first public art piece: The wrap around the fountain — below the concrete benches — will represent the LGBTQ2+ community while the individual tiles on the ground are meant to show the uniqueness of its members “who are confident

to be themselves and stand out,” he said. “I wanted to send the right message,” Baylis said. “I didn’t want it to be about me. It’s about having a place that’s accessible and engaging and colourful.” A 2005 graduate of the the IDEA Program at Capilano University, Baylis studied art and design at Kwantlen University. He has exhibited at

the Federation and Harrison galleries in Vancouver as well as the Firehall Art Centre, Seymour Gallery and Gallery Jones. Last month, the painter had a solo display at the Ian Tan Gallery in Vancouver, titled Contemplated Realities. He was the senior art director at the Latitude Agency in Vancouver, until 2018. PoCo’s Pride Public Art will

be one of the first installations in B.C. to celebrate the LGBTQ2+ community. Last year, city council budgeted $17,500 for the project, steering away from the usual Pride symbol of a rainbow crosswalk. Coquitlam’s rainbow crosswalk was painted last March, south of city hall, while Port Moody’s is set to go in later this month at NewPort Village.

Thank You to the 2019 sponsors. We are tremendously grateful for the generosity of these companies in helping us to put on our annual fundraising event and for donating to the programs that we offer.

From set up to clean up and all the jobs in between your gift of time and your generosity of spirit made for a very special night.

HISTORY

Our annual

for the Tri-Cities is now available for pick up at 118-1680 Broadway Street, Port Coquitlam

Colony Farm’s prize-winning cows are the subject of a new exhibit by Coquitlam Archives. Organized by Andréa Tarnawsky, the online display — titled the Legen-dairy Holstein Herd of Colony Farm (coquitlam.ca/holstein) — explores its history, dairy production and role in mental health services. Opened in 1910, the farm gave patients at Essondale (later renamed Riverview Hospital) a way to earn a salary. The farm’s dairy production expanded from 22 to 50 cows that were housed in automated, state-of-the-art facilities. Three years later, it produced almost 50,000 gallons of milk annually. The province closed the farm and sold the herd in 1983. Much of the documentation about the herd was destroyed in a rash of fires at the farm in 1946 although some dry-plate negatives were salvaged. Pictured above is a Holstein named Madam Pauline Canary. W.J. MOORE/CITY OF COQUITLAM ARCHIVES

PMSS revives musicals program Spelling Bee is the school’s first spring musical in 13 years JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

It’s Jesse Meredith they thank. The 20 students at Port Moody secondary are giving a big shout-out to the EAL, drama and dance teacher who arrived last September to fill in for the academic year. After all, it was Meredith’s idea to revive the Albert Street school’s musical theatre program after a 13-year hiatus. And it’s Meredith who’s been giving the cast and crew an outlet — after school hours, since January — to fulfill their theatrical passions. Next month, they’ll showcase PMSS’ first musical since 2006: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a Tony award-winning Broadway romp about a fictional spelling contest set in the gym of a fictional middle school.

The cast of Port Moody secondary’s spring show: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which runs May 1 to 3 at the Albert Street school. JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Last fall, Meredith — a Riverside secondary graduate who rose to national fame in 2014 after he placed third in the CBC reality TV show Recipes to Riches — and collaborator Shelby Simmons, an educational assistant at PMSS who is also a choreographer, put out an open call to see who would be interested

in performing. They chose Leanna Carson, Anthony Gao, Zara Mansuurian, Harrison Maynard-Doyon, Natalie Quiring and Maddy Quong-Lee as their six quirky spellers. And they recruited Monica Leca, Christina Xu and Christopher Maller for the adult parts: the comfort counsellor, the emcee and the

vice-principal. Xu and Maller (the son of Justin Maller, Gleneagle secondary’s drama instructor) said they delved into the original recordings to hear the musical — which has 15 songs including My Friend, the Dictionary and Pandemonium — while other students said they watched YouTube videos

for their research. Having the chance to reintroduce spring musicals to PMSS has been “really cool and fun,” said Natalie Quiring, a Grade 11 student who plays Olive Ostrovsky, a young newcomer to the bee circuit. “This [group] has become like a family to me and we all like being on stage.” For Mansuurian, an international student from the Ukraine who arrived at PMSS last September, the musical gives the 16-year-old girl an opportunity to display her musical skills. “I’ve always loved acting and it means a lot to have a big musical at our school,” said Quong-Lee, a Grade 9 student who portrays the character Marcy Park, an overachiever. “I really hope that we continue having them.” Tickets for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee are $10 at the door on show night or in advance from the school reception (300 Albert St., Port Moody). It runs May 1 to 3 at 7 p.m. Call 604-939-6656.

To fight moss, start with the conditions Wet, acidic, well-shaded lawns are prone to carpets of moss, writes Brian Minter BRIAN MINTER Contributing Writer

oss, moss and more moss. It is in lawns everywhere this year, spreading vigorously and choking out those poor lawn grasses. In spite of all our mosscontrol efforts, it seems to get worse. The problem with moss is our lack of understanding about why it grows in our lawns. We knock it back each year but we never really seem to get rid of it. So, let’s start by looking at why moss grows. First of all, it thrives in areas of high rainfall and it loves shady locations. Wet, poorly drained soil is a wonderful place for moss to become established, because the soil is usually acidic. In addition to these conditions, moss does very well in soil that has low fertility. Shaded, heavy, wet, acidic soil with low fertility - those are the ideal conditions for moss to grow and spread rapidly. Does this sound like your lawn? To get rid of moss we must rectify these conditions, so let’s start with the heavy soil. Light, sandy soils are usually less prone to moss than heavy soils, where water drains away slowly. One of the first things we must do is improve

the porosity and drainage of our soils. Short of plowing our lawns under for a re-do, aeration is the most sensible way to go. You can do this by using a three or five prong hand aerator and pulling out cores of soil throughout your lawn. This is easier than you might think and goes quite quickly. For larger areas, a commercial aerator would be ideal but be careful of the roto-tiller types which basically chew up the turf and loosen your teeth at the same time. How you get those cores of heavy soil out of your lawn is up to you but once that is done, broadcast a 1/4-inch layer of coarse, washed sand over the aerated areas to fill up those holes. Washed sand is usually cleaner with less weeds. This sharp sand will eat its way

down and, in time, help to greatly improve the drainage. You can aerate now and repeat the process several times a year until you see an improvement in the drainage. This is one of the secrets of so many great golf courses. Once you have worked on the drainage, it is important to raise the pH level of the soil or in other words, make your soil less acidic. Lime will do that. Prilled limes, meaning they are in an easy-to-apply granular form, are the way to go. Dolopril lime is one of the best limes available today. It’s granular for easy application, weighs less by about a half, has twice the coverage, works quickly and lasts a long time. Dolopril lime should be applied at 10 kilograms per 200 square meters or 2000 square feet. When you raise the pH level of the soil, grass will also grow better. Incidentally, the only way to be sure you need lime is to have your soil tested to determine its pH level. There are pH testing kits available at garden centres but after our wet winter and with the copious quantities of moss in our lawns, I am sure you will be safe applying it. Once you have increased the pH level, it is time to get rid of the moss. Ferrous ammonium sulphate is the best way of doing that. It comes in a liquid or granular form and will cover approximately 2,000 – 4000 square feet of lawn area. Moisten the moss first, apply

S O L A C E

the moss control and arrange to have two dry days afterward when the temperature remains above 10 C. Good luck on that one. Seriously though, that is what is required for successful moss control. Once you have been able to eliminate the moss, you must rake out all the old dead stuff and apply a nutrient to encourage the remaining grass to get growing and fill in those bare spots before weeds do. A slow-release, high nitrogen fertilizer will do the job nicely and will be soil friendly. For those who wish to stay organic, there is a small selection of organic fertilizers now available. Your lawn will be in good shape as long as you can eradicate the moss everywhere - from your trees, roof and under your rhododendrons. Don’t forget, moss spreads by spores, so a thorough clean-up is important. All this sounds like a lot of work but it is not really, especially if you lessen the problem each year by improving the drainage and maintaining more consistent levels of nutrients in your lawn. The average-sized lawn provides enough oxygen to keep a family of four alive and well. It also collects pollution, helps sequester carbon and in urban areas, helps minimize heat islands. If you over-seed with white Dutch clover or micro clover, your lawn will be far more self-sustaining and will provide a home for beneficial insects.

Easter celebration ideas worth hopping around for BARB LUNTER Contributing Writer

re you hosting an Easter celebration this year? If so, try one of these cute table setting ideas and let your creativity roll. Most of these take only minutes to assemble and the results are worth the effort.

BUNNIES IN TERRACOTTA

This idea is easy and pretty for a dinner table. Purchase some miniature terra cotta pots from your local craft store. You will also require small white eggs, miniature pom poms, some green and white craft paper, a glue gun and a pink felt pen. Clean your eggs and set them aside. Cut a piece of green craft paper into seven centimetre by five centimetre pieces and then carefully snip the top edges away with a pair of scissors to make grass blades. Repeat this step with the remaining pieces of green paper.

Using some Scotch Tape, attach the piece of snipped grass to the inside edge of the terracotta pot. Attach the white pom pom to one end of the egg and insert the egg into the pot. Cut out two bunny feet from your white craft paper or alternatively use some pink felt. Use your pink felt pen to draw the pads of feet on one side of the craft paper. Attach the feet to the egg. Use a small sign or other place marker to write each attendees name on.

THE LIGHT STUFF I actually saw this idea in a store window and thought it would make a great table setting idea. A small brown wicker basket with a handle would be perfect for this idea. You will also need some small-leaf greens from your garden or florist shop. The key to this arrangement is the battery-operated LED lights. You can find these online or in home décor stores.

Fill your basket with the greens and randomly place the LED lights throughout. Be sure to add a fresh set of batteries to the LED lights beforehand. To finish off the arrangement add two or three medium size chocolate bunnies on the top of the greens.

GREEN ENVY

This is my favourite backup idea when I am pinched for time. Simply colour 12 white eggs in various shades of green. Once the eggs are completely dry, arrange them in two or three clear, glass containers and arrange greens, such as boxwood or salal, on top. It’s a simple idea and very effective when combined with small, chocolate bunnies at each place setting.

CYCLING

Virtual riding can help cyclists go Zwifter New studio in Port Moody can ease the drudgery of indoor cycling MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

At 70 years-old, Frank Quigg’s dreams of racing his bike in the peloton at the Tour de France are long behind him. But, he discovered, he can get a flavour of that experience by plugging his indoor trainer into one of several virtual training apps that can plant a cyclist in the midst of a group ride through French countryside, up and down the Dolomite mountains in Italy or around the roads of Central Park in New York City. And now the retired auto importer has turned his winter training regime into the Lower Mainland’s first virtual cycling studio in a loft area above a fitness gym on Port Moody’s Spring Street.

Frank Quigg has opened the first Zwift cycling studio in the Lower Mainland that allows cyclists to train virtually with riders from all over the world. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Quigg’s endeavour, Zwift Cycling Club, features four Tacx Neo 2 smart trainers that are each paired with a virtual training app by Zwift and connected to individual 40-

inch monitors. Each station even has a remote-controlled fan that simulates a cooling breeze out on the road. Cyclists can bring their own bike to mount on the trainer,

or use one of the Specialized bikes Quigg has available. Quigg took up cycling when he was 59 to improve his health and fitness and now logs more than 8,000 kms on

the road a year, said the virtual riding experience is a leap ahead from the mental drudgery of grinding out hours of spinning parked in front of a TV watching Vancouver Canucks’ hockey games or binging on episodes of House of Cards on Netflix. Instead, the app can plop him on one of several fictional courses in a mystical land called Watopia, where the roads are always closed to car traffic, or other routes modelled after the 2012 Olympic circuit in London, England, the 2015 world championship course in Richmond, West Virginia, or even the weekend warrior mayhem of New York’s Central Park. Other apps like Sufferfest incorporate workouts into licensed footage from famous cycling stage races like the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and one-day events like Milan-San Remo or ParisRoubaix. Quigg said Zwift’s virtual world is like bringing his bike into a computerized video game where he can just ride to

explore the course and scenery or elevate his heart rate by racing for personal training goals or against other cyclists hooked into the program from all over the world. The trainer alters the pedalling resistance according to the terrain on the screen, so it gets harder to climb hills and easier to glide down the other side, while the monitor tracks effort and gives him an idea of how he’s doing compared to the other virtual cyclists on the course. Quigg, who suffered a bad crash two years ago while riding in a pack along Marine Drive in Vancouver, said virtual training apps also offer a safe environment for riding in a group without the fear of touching wheels with a neighbouring cyclist or crashing into obstacles like barriers and signs that can be hard to spot when in the midst of a fast-moving peloton. Even the social aspect of group rides is preserved, as cyclists signed into the app can communicate with others on the digital SEE

road, set up challenges like sprints or organize events like races with their friends. About the only thing missing is the traditional mid-ride coffee stop, although Port Moody’s Brewery Row is only a short coast away. Quigg said while indoor riding is usually a winter activity cyclists use to maintain their conditioning through cycling’s off-season, he anticipates his stations will be kept busy during the summer months by riders following a structured training regime to prepare for a specific event like a race, gran fondo or triathlon, groups of friends challenging each other in a social setting and other athletes looking to build their stamina who

may not have the time, inclination or equipment to get out on the open road. And while it’s possible to get that virtual experience at home, a proper station can cost more than $3,000 — not including the bike — plus the space to leave it set up. “You get to live out some of your Walter Mitty fantasies,” Quigg said, adding several European and North American pros like Roman Bardet, Mark Cavendish, Mike Woods and Evelyn Stevens have been known to sign in to a Zwift ride and it can be eye-opening to measure your own modest efforts against their achievements. • Zwift Cycling Club is located at 3082 Spring St., Port Moody.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

B.C. home sales see chilly March, sliding 23% It may have been a warm March in terms of the weather, but the province’s real estate market is still experiencing a considerable chill. B.C. home sales slid 23 per cent year-over-year to a total of 5,707 resale transactions in March, according to the latest data from the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). Year-to-date, unit sales fell 27 per cent across the whole province, from 18,953 to 13,816. In Greater Vancouver, home sales dropped 31.6 per cent in March compared with the previous year. Some 1,745 units changed hands in the month, down from 2,551 in March 2018. Year-to-date, unit sales fell 34.1 per cent in the region.

“B.C. home sales continue to be adversely impacted by federal mortgage policy.” CAMERON MUIR, BCREA Chief Economist

“B.C. home sales continue to be adversely impacted by federal mortgage policy,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. “The erosion of affordability caused by the B20 stress test has created near recession level housing demand despite the province boasting the lowest unemployment rates in a decade. Muir added that this continued lack of affordability was creating pent-up demand as would-be buyers put their purchasing plans temporarily on hold.

Burnaby / Tri-Cities

“Unfortunately, new home construction is slowing as well, which will likely lead to another housing supply crunch down the road,” he said. Average prices falling The average home sale price in B.C. fell 5.4 per cent year over year to $687,720. In Greater Vancouver, the average sale price dropped 3.9 per cent year-over-year to $982,654, compared with $1,022,523. The slowing sales have contributed to a rise in home inventory on the market. Total active listings across B.C. increased 36.2 per cent to 34,295 units, compared with the same month last year. The ratio of sales to active listings has fallen from 29.4 per cent (a strong seller’s market) to 16.6 per cent (a balanced market) over the past year. All the B.C. real estate boards that contributed statistics to the report cited a year-over-year decline in sales and average prices, with the exceptions of B.C. Northern, Kamloops and the very small market of Northern Lights. In the B.C. Northern region – which includes Prince George and Kitimat – average sale prices are up close to eight per cent over last year, reflecting renewed investment in these cities due to upcoming liquefied natural gas projects.

OBITUARIES

FISHER, Ilse Johanna Martha DOMES, Betty Louise Cowichan Bay, BC DOB: 7/29/1934 - DOD: 4/7/2019 In 1952, a cute, vivacious Betty Jones (aka: ‘Betty Boop’) met Donald (Don) Domes, a recently graduated Chemical engineer on the beach near Ioco, BC. They were both with their best friends at the time and quickly started a conversation which lead to a walk on the beach, dances and other fun events. Prior to graduation from University of Saskatchewan, Don was hired by Imperial Oil to begin work at the plant in Ioco, just a few months prior. Their relationship grew from that moment on the beach, and on June 4, 1954 they were wed. After a brief honeymoon on Vancouver Island, the new Don and Betty Domes departed for Aruba, Netherlands Antilles to begin an energetic overseas jet setting lifestyle that took them around the globe - living in 12 different countries sometimes in multiple places within the same country. Betty enjoyed decorating over 26 different homes in the process. Don and Betty retired in Cowichan Bay, BC, in 1986 where they built their retirement home. Soon they decided to buy a condo in Aruba (the first place they lived after they were married) and for 14 years enjoyed spending 3 months of the year with their many special friends they met in Wacamaya Village including the Truman family. Christmases were spent at her daughter and son-in-law’s home in Port Coquitlam where it was usually spent with their family friends, the Josefsons and Timewells. In 2017 and 2018 upon the marriage of her granddaughters Kristin and Kaley; her many friendships included the MacDonald and McLaughlin clans. Betty passed away at the Cowichan Valley Hospital, Duncan, BC, on April 7, 2019, at the age of 84. Betty had initially been admitted to Royal Jubilee Hospital with heart failure and other complications and later transferred to Duncan for palliative care. Betty was the loving mother of son Gordon Andrew (deceased), and daughter Deirdre (Dee) Louise. She will be dearly missed by her husband, Donald Domes of Cowichan Bay, BC; her daughter and son-in-law Dee and Mark Hopper of Port Coquitlam, BC; her grandchildren and their families including Kristin and Colin MacDonald, Kaley and Dustin McLaughlin, and Kyle Hopper. Betty’s Great Granddaughter Braxton Alexandria MacDonald held a special place in her heart. Betty will be lovingly remembered by her brother and his wife Donald and Judy Jones; along with her sister and brother-in-law Loraine and Wilfred Jordison of Saskatchewan; Evelyne Domes of Saskatchewan, in addition to her nieces Cheryl, Dawn and Laurie, and nephews Scott and Kelly also from Saskatchewan, along with her great nieces and great nephews.

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Friend. Ilse passed away peacefully on March 29th, 2019 at 3:40pm. Born on February 23rd, 1925, in Essen, Germany to Theodore and Margarete Kilian. Ilse arrived in Canada on August 17th, 1952, where she soon met and married her husband of 60 years, Kurt Heinz Fisher on December 30th, 1952. They settled as a family in Burnaby, BC, then eventually to Maple Ridge. She is now reunited with her Husband, Parents and two Sisters, Margarete and Analiesa. She will be deeply missed by her 3 daughters, 2 nieces, 6 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, her many friends and chosen family. Her last remaining years were spent making memories with those she loved and reading countless books. Ilse never thought twice to help anyone in need. She was a loving, giving, and selfless woman full of strength, honesty and she continued to take care of those around her up until her final moments.

DIAZ, Bryson Alexzander (Alzua Dominguez) Passed away suddenly on April 8th 2019 in Coquitlam, BC. Predeceased by his Aunt Cymantha in 2010, survived by his Daughter; Rainnah, Mother; Trinity, Father; Alex, Brother; Doryen, Grandmother; Carol, Aunts; Sheila, Anne, Uncles Glenn, Donny and numerous Cousins, Family members and Friends. Bryson loved his family, daughter, his sweet Bristol, Star Wars and graffiti. A private service is arranged for family and close friends. Flowers can be sent to Burkview Chapel, 1340 Dominion Ave, Port Coquitlam BC. Burkeview, First Memorial Chapel • 604-944-4128

Her passing has left us with a hole which will never be filled. She is now an angel in the shape of our Mother and Grandmother. In lieu of flowers, condolences may be sent to Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel. A donation has been made in her name to The Heart and Stroke Foundation. A special thanks to the Doctors, Nurses and Care Aids on 2 West B at Eagle Ridge Hospital who showed us compassion and strength during this tragic time. Ilse will be especially missed by Kirsten, Kim, Kandis, Kurtis, Hubert, Bent, Sandra, Irene, Jan, Dave, Ashley (Ilse), Phyllis and the Hamilton and Moore families. Her memory lives on within us, as we will remember her always, and forget her never. Ilse taught her family strength, love, compassion and what being a Mother, Grandmother and friend truly means. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date. A special note from her Grandchildren, Kandis and Kurtis: Grandma, loosing you is like losing a piece of our hearts; however, our hearts remain full of memories, swimming in the pool and eating fried chicken, listening to you and Grandpa talk over morning coffee, getting our nails done and talking about your favorite books. You have been our teacher, our inspiration and our leader. I will miss coming through the door and seeing you, sitting in your chair. We will see you when we get there. We will look for you in purple, forever in our hearts. A dragonfly to remind me even though we are apart, your spirit is always with me forever in my heart. - Lyn Ragan Love always Butchy.

JOHNSON, Murle It is with extremely heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Murle Johnson on Monday April 8, 2019 at 83 years of age in Maple Ridge BC. Murle was a beloved Husband, Father and Grandfather and leaves behind Margie, his Wife of 53 years; Daughters Cheryl (Mario) and Shelly (Steve), Son Brent (Joanna) and Grandchildren Joel, Courtney, James, Peyton and Katie as well as so many cherished friends and relatives. Murle was known for his huge heart and generous spirit and was always there whenever you needed him. We were truly blessed to have him in our lives and we will miss him so much. Our heartfelt thanks to the staff at McKenney Creek Hospice for the wonderful care you provided. Please join us as we celebrate and honour Murle’s life on Saturday May 4, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at Meadow Gardens Golf Club 19675 Meadow Gardens Way, Pitt Meadows, BC.

Grow Your Own Summer Blooms

30%

Everyone likes having fresh flowers in their homes. Why not grow your own supply and make your choices based on your favourite colour combinations. It’s not difficult to dedicate a corner of your garden or a few pots to growing gorgeous blooms such as Dahlias, Lilies or Cosmos. One of the more popular cut summer blooms are Dahlias because of their longevity in a vase and the mind-blowing options in respect to colour, bloom size and flower shape. Sold in the bare tuber form, simply plant now in very sunny spots, water and wait for them to emerge from the soil. Keep well-watered during hot spells and they will begin flowering mid-summer and often continue into fall. Cut bloom stems in the morning as they are at their freshest then and take inside for vases of glorious colour!

25% Try These Proven Perennial Groundcovers

Groundcovers offer year-round interest by providing foliage and often bloom, season after season. Plant once and reap the benefits for years to come. There is generally a plant for most every planting site. Sunny sites can be planted with succulents, Saxifrage or Periwinkle. Shady sites look fabulous planted with bronze leafed Ajugas, Japanese Spurge or the dainty Sweet Woodruff. Plant approximately one plant per one square foot and after two growing seasons, they will have grown enough to fill in the area. Keep these areas well-watered during summer months and trim as necessary. Many groundcovers are also great in planters or even hanging baskets.

Art Knapp Fashion Inspiration

Animal print was everywhere in the fall of 2018 and if you invested in one or more pieces you are in luck as this trend continues to go strong. This season you will see an update to the trend with bolder colours, graphic prints and the introduction of giraffe, zebra and snakeskin patterns. There are many fun and fresh ways to add a little spice to your closet. From leopard print jackets & blazers, snakeskin printed handbags & scarves or cheetah skirts & dresses it’s time to get your claws out and release your wild side.

This week’s animal print favorite has a bold red stripe on the neck and sleeve for a sporty vibe!

The Joy of Spring and Easter in Your Home

For special get-togethers entertaining family or friends, every host knows that the table is as important as the meal itself. New this season, we are pleased to offer an array of spring themed table décor just in time for Easter and guaranteed to impress. Table runners are making a comeback particularly runners with butterflies, birds, or nature. Spanish handmade green glass vases, and table sized ceramic bunnies are all the rage. Also in the spring theme are honeycomb mugs, plates and bowls. Garlands are popular to lay down the center of tables. Maybe a lovely sage garland or Easter egg garland. Make your table and home special this Easter with gift gems from Art Knapp!
