Before and after: Above left, Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers prepare to leave on a helicopter to conduct a rescue on the Goat Trail on Burke Mountain. Above right, a Coquitlam Fire Rescue with the rescued hiker, a woman who had broken her ankle. Searchers used a longline rescue to retrieve the hiker.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Hiker had planned a longer trip continued from front page

He was stranded on a cliff and more than 600 m from the top of the ridge. A longline team dropped rescue tech Nick Zupan down to the hiker, who was hungry and dehydrated but otherwise uninjured. He was extracted at about 9:40 a.m. “We were told he’d left on Wednesday and he’d been planning to spend Thursday, Friday and come back

Saturday,” said Michael Coyle of Coquitlam SAR. “He had a large, multi-day backpack and various other camping equipment… so he was prepared for a trip of that length.” But the rugged, 25-km route can be a tricky one, Coyle said, particularly during a descent when the aim is to get down the mountain but not into a gully. “When you’re heading down the hill, you’re trying to make sure you’re heading down the

slope… but not the slope that takes you down into the gully. They’re a big navigational hazard in the backcountry.” Winters happened to end up on the east side of Eagle Ridge, which is in the Coquitlam watershed and has no cell service; it’s also closed to hikers so it’s unlikely a member of the public would have come across him and called for help on his behalf. “Winters’s adventure came to a happy conclusion because

he had told a relative where he was going and his general route, and had left instructions for them to call search and rescue,” a SAR release stated. Crews were called to a second rescue later Sunday for an injured hiker on the Goat Trail on Burke Mountain. Coyle said the trail leads off from Quarry Road and, while not as steep, is similar in elevation gain to the Grouse Grind. “It’s really rocky and twisty, lots of switchbacks,” Coyle said.

Coquitlam Fire Rescue were initially called in but carrying the woman, who had broken her ankle, down on a stretcher would have taken too long, so they brought in Coquitlam SAR for a longline rescue using a helicopter. She was flown to the Coquitlam Town Centre fire hall and unloaded by firefighters, then taken to hospital by BC Ambulance paramedics. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

COQUITLAM SEARCH & RESCUE

Modern truck & tech for searching needs Replacement for aging command centre this fall SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Search and Rescue’s new mobile command centre is expected to be on the road this fall. The project is a long time in the making, with volunteers drumming up fundraising sup-

port from as far back as 2011. Significant grants received in 2014 kickstarted the building of the new truck, which “turned out to be a gargantuan project, with myriad details we didn’t expect,” Coquitlam SAR’s Sandy Burpee at a Coquitlam council meeting this week. The 21-year-old truck has outlived its lifespan and the organization has long outgrown the cramped quarters. New equipment and new technology have pushed the truck’s weight to the point where performance

is an issue, Burpee said. “It struggles to go uphill and then we struggle to keep it from going too fast downhill.” When the existing truck was commissioned in 1995, the only technology requirement was a radio bank, but since, then the group has added computers, video display terminals, printers and more. When search managers, police, family members are meeting in the truck — or getting in out of the rain — things get particularly cramped, Burpee said.

“The next-generation version is going to deliver a number of benefits,” he added. “It’s going to provide us with a mobile command centre for the next 21 years but, more importantly, it will enhance our search and rescue management capabilities with the new technology we’ll be carrying as well as the additional floor space, and our ability to transport additional equipment.” The city of Coquitlam purchased the truck and chassis, and contributed nearly

$100,000 in additional grants. Another $150,000 came from a provincial gaming grant and grants from Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Burnaby, as well as private donations, also helped fill the pot. The truck is due to arrive at the end of August, after which it will go to city staff for decals and then for radio installation. “By the middle of October, the new vehicle should be in service,” Burpee said. Coquitlam Search and Rescue is planning an open

house and dedication service for the fall to showcase the new truck. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart lauded the group’s service to the community, saying, “These folks get called out in the middle of the night when you and I are warm and cuddled up… They head out into the bushes or the mountains. They do it on a volunteer basis and they do it for the good of the community.”

COTTONWOOD FIRE

Money collected for those SUMMER displaced by apartment fire IN THE 2016 CITY GARY MCKENNA

A Festival of Arts, Culture & Entertainment

The Tri-CiTy News

Some residents of a Cottonwood Avenue apartment that caught fire last Thursday afternoon may be able to move back into the building sooner than initially thought. Coquitlam Fire Chief Wade Pierlot told The Tri-City News that the structure had strong fire separation between its four sections and most of the damage was contained to the 12 units on the eastern part of the property. Those apartments will likely not be habitable but he said he was still holding out hope that only minor restoration work would be needed on the other three sections before its 36 units could be reoccupied. “We are trying to determine if the end unit, which was directly impacted by the fire, whether we can isolate that,” he said while surveying the damage last Friday morning. Separating the fire-damaged section from the rest of the building would involve capping utilities and water mains and sealing off the area. Pierlot said that work was expected to begin yesterday but he could not say how long it would take to complete. Another hurdle to re-occupying the structure involves getting the buildings’ emergency suppression systems back online. If that cannot be done in a timely manner, Pierlot said the department may post a fire watch — essentially eyes on the property watching for the unlikely event that another emergency situation occurred. “It’s labour-intensive,” he said, later adding, “It’s a matter

Fire and building officials are determining whether some portions of the apartment damaged in a fire last Thursday in Coquitlam could be re-occupied soon. of whether we can get the whole building up and running to its safety standards. We don’t want to put these people back into an untenable condition.” While there is still no timeline on when tenants will be allowed to re-occupy the apartment, fire investigators, city building bylaws and a restoration company surveyed the scene Friday morning. Concert Properties, which owns the building, has also been helping, Pierlot said. The fire broke out shortly before noon last Thursday and was stared by a plumber’s torch.

Complicating matters was the fact that a second fire was taking place at the same time at a house on Wickham Drive and firefighters from neighbouring municipalities were called in to help. Eighty-six people, including several refugee families, were displaced by the Cottonwood Avenue fire. Emergency Social Services co-ordinated hotel accommodations for the victims for the first 72 hours, after which time agencies such as Red Cross helped arrange support. Area residents are also pitching in to offer financial support

Poll finds support for foreign home tax JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

An online poll shows Metro Vancouver residents overwhelmingly approve of the province’s new 15% transfer tax on foreign buyers of local homes — but they have doubts about how effective it will be in cooling the white-hot real estate market. The Angus Reid Institute poll found 90% of Metro residents support the new tax, which triggered a rush to complete affected deals ahead of the Aug. 2 effective date. But 71% of respondents predicted affected foreign buyers would still find loopholes to dodge the new tax and relatively few said they believe it will be highly effective at bringing down home prices or opening up more housing inventory. As well, 82% of those surveyed said the provincial government should have intervened in the housing market sooner — that included 77% of those who voted for the BC Liberals in the 2013 provincial election. More than seven out of 10 respondents described the government’s new measures as “a step in the right direc-

The poll underscores what previous surveys have found: housing prices, affordability and real estate are dominant issues facing the region. Angus Reid officials said two thirds of Metro residents are dissatisfied with the government’s response to the housing crisis, possibly because it’s perceived as being late and incomplete. Respondents were nearly three times as likely to say the high real estate prices were hurting them as helping them. Large majorities said the hot market today is a net negative for their local communities and the region as a whole while 64% would welcome a correction of at least 10%; that drops to 42% who would said they would cheer a major crash of 30% or more.

port their local municipality seeking the power to tax vacant homes, as Vancouver council has proposed. The B.C. government last Thursday passed legislation to create the 15% tax on residential real estate purchases by foreign nationals. For those buyers, the tax would add $300,000 to the cost of a $2-million home. The most recent data released by the province shows 10% of homes sold in Metro Vancouver were bought by foreign nationals. If that pace continues, the new tax would generate $1.4 billion in revenue. The province has also legislated an end to self-regulation by the real estate industry and has enabled a tax on vacant properties by the city of Vancouver.

The inaugural Coquitlam Kinsmen Craft Beer Festival drew more than 3,000 people to Town Centre Park this past weekend. Operations director Sasha Tennant said the club was pleased with the turnout for brew fest, which was tied in with the city’s 125th year. “It was our first year, so we’re going to work out the kinks and make it better for next year,” she said. Attendees received a four-ounce sample glass to try out the numerous domestic and foreign beers on tap. As well, they received a program guide that included a letter of congratulations to the Coquitlam Kinsmen from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

City investigating pit bull attack Sunday SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam woman and her dog are recovering after being attacked by a pit bull Sunday evening. Nicole and her golden retriever, Lilly, were walking on Begin Street near her condo complex and had stopped to talk to a neighbour when the pit bull came after them. Witnesses who spoke to CTV News said the pit bull was leashed but the owner couldn’t control it. Lilly was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic, where the dog underwent surgery,

and the owner was also treated for bites to her hand and arm. Stephanie James, Coquitlam’s acting director of legal and bylaw enforcement, said the city is investigating and will interview Nicole and other witnesses this week, after which the investigating officer will aim to identify the attacking dog and its owner and determine whether any tickets will be issued under the animal care and control bylaw. “The officer may also recommend the attacking dog be deemed ‘aggressive’ or ‘vicious’ under the bylaw, depending on the nature of the injuries the

victim dog and its owner suffered,” James said in a press release. Dogs labelled aggressive or vicious are strictly regulated in terms of leash length, prohibitions on being in off-leash areas and, for vicious dogs, that they be kept in secured pens in their yards and leashed and muzzled when out in public. Glen Spence, Coquitlam’s acting manager of bylaw enforcement and animal services, said it’s too early to comment on what tickets could be issued to the pit bull owner or whether the dog could be seized. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

COQUITLAM

Sidewalk funding changes possible A requirement that developers build new sidewalks for some single-family homes is creating a patchwork of frontages in some of Coquitlam’s older neighbourhoods. Examples abound of fresh pavement lining the streets for two or three houses before disappearing into gravel or older sidewalks, an issue city staff said they want to work to contain. Now, the city is considering establishing a cash-in-lieu

program that could be used to ensure sidewalk work is done in a more efficient, consistent manner. “It is our belief that we can come up with a better system,” said Coquitlam city manager Peter Steblin. The city is also looking at changes that could mean single-family development building permits would no longer be exempt from the frontage improvements that are required

when subdivisions are sought. A staff report noted that previous efforts in the 1980s and 1990s to ensure all types of developments were contributing to the frontage costs were subject to legal challenges. Council voted in favour of directing staff to come up with recommended best practices and report back to council at a future meeting.

OUR OPINION

Human rights changes for trans people a win for B.C. V ancouver Pride Week is upon us again and our neighbours in New Westminster are once again getting ready for a week of Pride festivities starting Aug. 6. This year, everyone in British Columbia has one more achievement to be proud of. In an all-toorare display of bipartisan co-operation, Attorney General Suzanne Anton and Vancouver-West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert put together changes to the B.C. Human Rights Code to protect people from discrimination based on gender identity or expression. It’s an overdue affirmation that transgender people among us face unique challenges and have an equal place at the table in B.C.’s laws. Trans folks still face higher suicide

other jurisdictions face far worse. The NBA just announced it was pulling its all-star game from the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, in protest over the state’s new anti-LGBT legislation. The law states people must use the washroom corresponding with the sex listed on their birth certificate, denies protection for all LGBT people and forbids workplace discrimination lawsuits from being heard in state courts. Now, this doesn’t men that B.C. is perfect or that the recent Human Rights Code amendment will prevent hate and discrimination from occurring here. But it does serve as a reminder that we here in B.C. have come a long way in a relatively short time. For that, we thank all who have stood up to be counted.

GOOD SAMARITANS

Ashamed of tax rule In a time of need, The Editor, An open letter to Premier Christy Clark, Minister of Finance Mike de Jong and Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth: I am writing this letter not only as a member of the real estate community, but as a Canadian Forces veteran and Canadian patriot. For the first time in my life, last week, I was ashamed to be Canadian. Let me start by saying that this is our country, and if we want to impose a tax on foreigners buying our land at 15%, 20% or even 50%, it is our right to do so. If that is our law, then that is our law. If they do not consent to the tax, they cannot buy. Plain and simple. The key word in that statement, and the topic of this letter, is consent. To apply this tax to binding purchase agreements that have already been entered into — purchases where the people who entered into them had no knowledge of and did not consent to this tax being imposed upon them — is not befitting or representative of the values of honour, fairness and respect that make

POCO LOSING MONEY?

The Editor, Re. “Price drop” (The Tri-City News, July 29). So let me get this straight: The city of Port Coquitlam paid $890,000 for a property, tried to sell it for $799,000 and no one wanted it. So what does the city do? It reduces the price by $200,000. What a great deal for the PoCo taxpayer. We just lost nearly $300,000, assuming the city sells it for $599,000. It’s almost impossible to lose money in this real estate market but we did. Well done, city hall. Terry Newman, Port Coquitlam

us who we are as Canadians. We have taken people from afar who have acted honestly and in good faith with this country’s citizens and placed them under duress. We are now using force to extract what is in many cases hundreds of thousands of dollars under threat of a forfeiture of the deposits they have put forward and possible legal action. This is an issue that transcends political affiliation. This goes to the very core of who we are as a people, and our choices will echo throughout the international community. Enforcing this tax under duress

is not only wrong but has the capacity to affect a relatively small number of foreign buyers, and a large number of Canada’s citizens. Purchase chains of five, six or seven sales — all relying on one to fund the other — are bound to be affected. It will be Canadian families that will be left feeling the pinch when the smoke clears. I am urging you to take the ethical and pragmatic approach with respect to the implementation of this new tax and apply it only to contracts of purchase and sale entered into after Aug. 2.

2 men lent a hand The Editor, There are absolutely good people in this crazy world. There are those among us who possess a quiet heroism and who demonstrate their selflessness and give assistance without hesitation. These people do not get called upon to help, they help in what ever way they can within the moment. I encountered two such intrepid gentlemen at about 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 23 at Buntzen Lake. My family and I were nearing the end of our hike when my seven-year-old son stumbled and, in a unfortunate twist of fate, landed just right to break his left arm. Immediately, the two men behind us offered their help.

Seeing the pain he was in and knowing how close we were to my truck, I scooped up my injured child, handing off our puppy to my wife. Without waiting to be asked and seeing what I was doing, one of these men picked up my four-year-old son and carried him as I carried my seven-year-old all the way back to my truck. They even went as far as to guide us to the fastest route to the lot. My tunnel vision and singular mission to get my son medical attention meant that I didn’t catch their names. It is no small feat to carry an extra 40 lb. and to say that I appreciate the effort would be a gross understatement. I’ve always said when it comes to my family, I can

carry anyone of them exactly as far as needed but for a stranger to do the same is quite remarkable. I would have never thought to ask anyone to do such a thing but these men saw an avenue they could use to assist us and they did not hesitate. It’s not just a nice gesture, it was downright heroic. Whoever you are, I can only say that from the bottom of our hearts, my wife and I thank you gentlemen and hope that in some way this letter reaches you. After a short surgery, to place a couple of pins, our son will make a full recovery just in time for start of Grade 2 and we will be forever grateful for your help and assistance.

ADVENTURES IN EDUCATION

Yorke takes her teaching skills abroad Former SD43 teacher working in Xi’an, China DIANE STANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

A spirit of adventure and interest in Asian culture sent a School District 43 art teacher abroad to teach in international schools. And now, 12 years later, Daun Yorke is about to take on her most demanding position yet as principal at the Xi’an HiTech International School in central China. “It’s another challenge for me and working with teachers is something I’ve done since my days at SFU,” said Yorke in a Skype interview. As she recalled her years when she worked as a faculty associate with SFU’s professional development program and as an art teacher at Moody middle, then a junior high school, and at Centennial, Yorke said she is taking many of those experiences with her into her new job. For example, international schools are now moving towards the kind of personalized inquiry based learning that is now in B.C. schools and Yorke plans to work with her staff on creative ways to instruct students where teachers are guides on the side instead of strict authoritarians at the front of the class. “There’s a huge movement in international education in China, it’s one of the fastest growing regions for the International Baccalaureate. They’re interested in the western style education, moving away from rote learning, and looking more into an inquiry based approached.” As in B.C., students at her new school will use laptops and though China is behind a firewall where Google and social media are denied, WeChat is commonly used and there are other workarounds that allow staff and students to

communicate via the internet. Xi’an is the home of the Terracotta Army, a collection of sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China and, with a population of about five million, is neither as large nor as cosmopolitan as Shanghai or Beijing. It’s more of a “small town,” said Yorke, who said she likes the leafy streets and her three bedroom apartment will be within walking distance of the school. She expects the winter to be long but there will be breaks where she can visit her daughter Naomi, a former Tri-City News columnist and Terry Fox student, who is living in Korea and teaching art and earning her yoga teacher certification. Currently, Yorke is taking a break in Hawaii, visiting her parents, after recently leading workshops in China for teachers working with the IB program, and using Skype to interview teachers for the 229-student program at Xi-an Hi-Tech which is expected to expand to 1,400 students after a move to a new building. Most of the students are the children of foreign workers and English will be the spoken language, although a second language for many of the students. With many young teachers having a tough time getting full-time contracts, Yorke recommends international education because it offers a rich cultural experience, comradeship and a global view. On the downside, there is no pension and you can’t earn seniority, but housing is paid for and good savers can make a reasonable living. As well, the experience working with English as an Additional Language students is invaluable when looking for jobs back home. “The international experience is a good opportunity for young teachers,” Yorke said. “It really opens your world.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

GREAT CANADIAN BUMBLE BEE COUNT

Public asked to help in nation-wide bee count SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

You can “bee” part of a nation-wide research project this summer just by snapping a photo of the busy bees you see and sharing them online. The Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count is a cross-country citizen science project aimed at collecting data about the

distribution of native bees. The public is being asked to take a photo of bees in their garden, park or campsite and upload it to bumblebeewatch.org, where a team of researchers will verify their type among the 40 or so native species of pollinators. “In recent years, we’ve seen not only quite a large decline in the number of bees but we’re also seeing a shift in where

they’re moving,” said Frances Fyfe, a research assistant with Friends of the Earth Canada, an arm of Friends of the Earth International. “In B.C., we saw somebody uploaded a photo to bumblebeewatch.org and it was a… bee commonly found in Ontario but it’s never been seen in B.C. before. That’s interesting and brought up some

questions, [including] how did it get there?” Fyfe said when people post a photo on the website, it will take them through a short series of steps to try to identify it. Researchers, many of them graduate students at universities across Canada, then study each post and verify the type of bee. “It’s less of a bumblebee

count or looking at the numbers,” Fyfe said. “What’s really important is where the bees are and what type of bees they are.” Bumblebees are important pollinators for food crops and wildflowers but the populations of several of the Canada’s 40-plus species are dramatically declining. It’s hoped the project will boost the amount

of bee-specific monitoring in Canada. Fyfe said organizers are spending the first year of the project drumming up awareness and getting as many people to participate as possible. They hope to publish a report with the findings and, as the project grows over the coming years, using it to compare yearto-year data.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Sears Hearing Centre is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

COQUITLAM 125: HIGHLIGHTS FROM HISTORY

Remembering the curfew horn This is the third instalment of a series of columns produced by the Coquitlam Heritage Society to mark the city of Coquitlam’s 125th birthday this year. The columns will be published every few weeks.

hen Coquitlam was a young district in the early 1900s, its leaders worried about at least one of the same things we do today: Young people out in the evening hours — they must be up to no good. We tend to think of those as the “good old days” but parents then worried their children — or other people’s children — were wild and undisciplined. The answer was a curfew. In 1925, Coquitlam’s curfew rules said that all children under the age of 16 were not allowed on city streets, in parks or any other public place after 8:30 p.m. in the winter, and 9:30 p.m. in the spring and summer, April through September. That curfew stayed in place until 1954, when residents voted in a public referendum in favour of a new, slightly less strict curfew. Kids were then allowed on the street until 9 p.m. in the fall and winter and 10 p.m. for spring and summer. Thirty minutes might not seem like much of a change but it no doubt mattered to the kids involved. And kids had no argument that they didn’t know what time it was. In 1955, the city installed an air horn on top of the municipal works building that was located behind city hall on Brunette Avenue. The horn would blow every night at the beginning of curfew and kids who ignored it could be taken home by police and their

the Coquitlam night for more than 10 years until it was discontinued because parents

ROY SWARTZBERG Barrister & Solicitor

were complaining it woke up their young children. The curfew still existed, however, until the 1960s, when it was repealed, only to resurface in 1976, when municipal council set up a curfew that required that anyone under age 16 be off the streets by 11 p.m. while 16- and 17-year-olds were not allowed out after midnight. Coquitlam’s curfew history ended in 1992 when the section of the Municipal Act that allowed curfew legislation was repealed but Coquitlam old-timers can remember racing home to beat the curfew whistle.

The Tragically Hip play their farewell show on Aug. 20. Frontman Gord Downie (above) has incurable brain cancer.

MUSIC

Hard Rock to stream The Hip’s last show

The last show for the iconic Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip will be broadcasted live at a Coquitlam venue this month. Great Canadian Gaming Corp. will screen the final concert from The Hip’s hometown of Kingston, Ont., on Saturday, Aug. 20, at 5:30 p.m. at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver (2080 United Blvd.). Doors open at 4:30 p.m. Sonja Mandic, GCGC’s director of media relations and social responsibility, said proceeds from the $10 entry charge will be donated to the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research, administered through the Sunnybrook Foundation — a teaching hospital of the University of Toronto. Downie, The Hip frontman and a father of four, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma, one of the most common causes of cancer death in Canadians between the ages of 40 and 60. News of Downie’s incurable disease was announced in May and dates of The Hip’s Man Machine Poem tour were soon announced; it started in Victoria last month and will end in Kingston on Aug. 20. In a statement, the band wrote: “So after 30-some years together as The Tragically Hip, thousands of shows, and hundreds of tours… We’ve decided to do another one. “This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us. What we in the Hip receive, each time we play together, is a connection — with each other, with music and its magic and during the shows, a special connection with all of you, our incredible fans.” • To buy tickets, visit tragicallyhipfinalscreening.eventbrite. com. jwarren@tricitynews.com

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Ryan Mellors, a Port Moody secondary graduate, is the new artist-in-residence/caretaker at Rocky Point Park. The performance artist will end his residency at the Port Moody facility on Oct. 7, 2017.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

Circus act at Rocky Point JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Ryan Mellors feels like he has come full circle. After travelling the world for the past 13 years — basing himself in England, France and the United States — the circus performer has landed a gig for the next year-and-a-half as the new artist-in-residence at Rocky Point Park. “I learned to juggle here,” he said during an interview in his Port Moody digs last month. “It’s nice to come home.” As caretaker, the Port Moody secondary graduate (class of ‘98) will live rent free in the two-storey building to oversee the park activities. As well, he’s

tasked to reach out to park visitors by demonstrating his craft. Mellors started his skill as a theatre student under School District 43 teachers Richard Dixon and Shanda Walters. Later, he earned his BA in literature (with a minor in film) at the University of Victoria, where he was the vice president of the UVic Juggling Club. There, he organized the first west coast Canadian Juggling Festival — an event that drew international artists and spurred him to make a living as a professional performance artist. But after seeing the lack of opportunity in the Vancouver area, Mellors accepted a residency in London, England,

with the Hangar Arts Trust. “I busked in Covent Garden,” he said with a smile. Afterward, Mellors returned to Vancouver for three years before moving Europe, where he helped to build a touring show called Piryokopi with assistance from Cirque du Soleil, the French arts council, Maison des Jonglages and L’Asile Artistique. In 2013, Mellors relocated again — this time, to Los Angeles, where he was employed as the resident manager of Runway Studios, a circus training studio. Two years later, he was back in Vancouver, where he won numerous awards for The New Corformity.

This past spring, Mellors was in Cambodia for the International Circus Festival and in Japan as a guest judge and presenter for a dance/ juggling competition in Tokyo. Next month, he flies off again to perform at the 2016 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Mellors said he looks forward to settling down a bit to work with emerging and professional performance artists at Rocky Point Park. “It’s a great way to meet people,” he said, “and I want people to come out and share their skills, too.” • To practise with Ryan Mellors, visit his Facebook page under Rocky Point Circus. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

The Tri-CiTy News

We’re giving away a pair of tickets to Jaclyn Guillou’s show on Aug. 13. Enter via our Facebook page by Aug. 5.

JACLYNGUILLOU.COM

Vancouver jazz singer Jaclyn Guillou brings her eight-piece string/percussion section to Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre on Saturday, Aug. 13 to close its Music on the Grill series. The summer concert includes the option of a BBQ on the patio before the show. “Don’t call me for auditions. I’m done.” Still, with the dancing and costumes gone, she yearned for the limelight. Around the age of 25, Guillou picked up her first jazz CD. Washington was the singer. Guillou explored her musical background — and the people she worked with — and listened to her songs, which

she also sung in country and blues styles. “She had a huge range and sung with a lot of power,” Guillou said. “She made me pay attention.” In 2009, at her first appearance at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Guillou won the CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award. People told her, “You can really sing!” she remembered. “I

No, Jaclyn Guillou is not on a farm. She’s in suburban Los Angeles, staying with her sister at a place where wild roosters roam and crow. The North Delta native is relaxing in California and catching up with friends and family before she hits the road once again, a tour that includes a stop in Coquitlam next weekend. On Saturday, Aug. 13, the award-winning jazz singer will close the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s summer series Music on the Grill with a nod to a vocalist who inspired her to change genres: Dinah Washington, the American singer and pianist known as the most popular black female recording artist of the 1950s. Before she made the switch, Guillou was heavily into musical theatre having performed with Gateway Theatre and Theatre Under the Stars. The classically trained opera singer was also winning tap contests and provincial competitions and, at 17, she moved to Ontario to enrol in the prestigious musical theatre program at Sheridan College, where she was on scholarship for three years. But after she graduated, Guillou had had enough. She told casting agents:

thought, ‘Yes, I can do this.’” Since her big break into the field, she has travelled the world, playing at jazz fests and at famous jazz venues — among them, Yoshi’s in San Francisco, Birdland Jazz Club in New York and the Cellar in Vancouver. Five years ago, she released her first jazz album, To The City, and two years on, CBC

invited Guillou to record a live concert in tribute to Washington for its series Absolutely Canadian. That documentary was followed by two albums in 2014: The Lover’s Walk and Winter For Beginners — the latter recorded at Groundhog Sound in Port Coquitlam with Bruno Hubert on piano, David Blake on guitar, James Meger on bass

and Andrew Millar on drums. Recently, Guillou came out with her fourth work, This Bitter Earth, a CD dedicated to Washington that earned her a Juno award nomination for Best Vocal Jazz Album of the Year in April. Guillou said her Music on the Grill concert will feature music from that album — the first set as a quartet; the second set with more strings. She doesn’t regret her transition from musical theatre. That genre, she said, doesn’t have much wiggle room for interpretation unlike jazz in which “you have to be really spiritual and meditative to be in the moment…. I feel like I’m too rebellious and independent for musical theatre now.” • Tickets for Jaclyn Guillou at Music on the Grill on Aug. 13 are $35 for the concert, or $55 for a BBQ and show.

Simon stands out at Taipei tournament Takes 21 points and 14 rebounds in tourney finals

The UBC Thunderbirds basketball team is having some pre-season success after going 5-0 at the Top University Basketball Tournament in Taipei this month. And one player that is turning some heads in his second season with the club is Port Coquitlam forward Patrick Simon. The Archbishiop Carney student 21 points and picked up eight-rebounds in the final game, when UBC steamrolled Nagoya Gakuin 119-60, finishing the tourney 5-0. “I’m happy,” said Simon. “I came here with the goal to improve and take advantage of this trip. We came out here to

get closer as a team and build some chemistry. It was a great experience overall.” Earlier in the tournament, UBC trounced an undefeated another club from Taiwan 108-46, where Simon and teammate Luka Zaharijevic combined for 51 points and Simon pulled down 14 rebounds. The Thunderbids only dressed eight players for the trip, but were fresh throughout all five games they played

in Taipei. It was also an opportunity for some players to see more minute than usual, which will help with the regular season rapidly approaching. The team flew home earlier this week and will be back in action on Aug. 11 at the War Memorial Gym in a match that will see them take on the NCAA Division I UNC Charlotte in exhibition. sports@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

CROMARTY, Margaret (Peggy) F. September 3, 1934 − July 6, 2016 Peacefully, after a sudden brief illness, Peggy slipped away from us. Lovingly remembered by sisters Dolly, Dorothy (Gordie) and Pat (Roy), brothers Don (Muriel), and Chuck (Pat), sisters in law Kathy and Olivia, brother in law George, her stepdaughters Tracy (Randy), Tammy (Bill) and Toni, 8 grandchildren, 4 great−grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and her many friends in PoCo and Loon lake. She was predeceased by husband Bill, son Terry Hill, mother Catherine, father John David, sisters Shirley and Grace, and brothers Jim, George, John, Bill and Bob. Peggy loved to have fun and we will miss her happy giggles as much as her homemade treats. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 6, 2016 at 1PM at the Royal Canadian Legion in Port Coquitlam.
