Wind storm takes a life A PoMo woman dies after house struck by tree

A Port Moody woman died Thursday morning after a tree fell on her home in the violent storm that ripped through much of Metro Vancouver overnight. Jill Calder, 57, was reportedly at home with her husband when the large hemlock tree came down at about 6:30 a.m. on their Alpine Place home, located just off Noons Creek Drive, pinning her inside. Port Moody Fire Rescue crews worked feverishly to locate and uncover her but she succumbed to her injuries. Calder was the longtime executive director of the New View Society, the Port Coquitlam-based community mental health organization. Neighbours on the closeknit cul-de-sac expressed shock at the tragedy. “They’re more like family than neighbours,” said Ken Ellis, who lives two doors away. He has known the Calder family since he moved in more than 20 years ago and their families are close friends. Ellis said he got up to let the dog out shortly after 3 a.m. and the wind was so bad, the pooch didn’t want to go outside. But when he left for work at 4:15 a.m., everything was quiet. His wife called him at 7:30 a.m. to tell him the news. “It’s very sad,” he said. “There really are no words. The

The city will do all that we can to help them through this tragic time and we all extend our deepest condolences.” A release from the city of Port Moody also expressed condolences to the family, adding it understands some residents will be concerned
about trees in their neighbourhood as a result of the tragedy, and recommend anyone who would like to arrange an inspection of trees on city lands to contact the operations division at 604-469-4574. Port Moody Police Victim Services Unit was deployed to provide support to the family members and the BC Coroner Service is investigating. see POWER OUTAGES, page 10

Baby boomers are retired, or will be soon, and the city of Coquitlam is coming up with ways of making recreation activities and facilities more appealing to this large, aging demographic. Just don’t call them seniors. Mary Morrison-Clark, Coquitlam’s manager of community recreation and culture, said sensitivities and changing attitudes about what it means to be an older adult has made even naming the city’s plan — currently referred to as the seniors services strategy — somewhat controversial. “It is a tough one,” she said, when asked about the definition of seniors. “How do we refer to this population? You hate to label anybody but at the same time you need to… It isn’t easy.” The boomers’ approach to aging is remarkably different from past generations, Morrison-Clark said. There are significant variations in activity levels in older adults today versus past decades and that will have to be reflected in the recreation services people seek, she said. see ‘THEY VALUE’, page 8

OBITUARY
Cancer crusader, father of a PoCo & Canadian hero, Rolly is remembered Terry Fox’s father dedicated decades to cancer fight JANIS WARREN
The Tri-CiTy News
He was 46 when he lost a child. And for the next 35 years, Rolly Fox dedicated his life to preserving the dreams of his late son, the Canadian hero from Port Coquitlam who started an epic journey to build awareness and raise money for cancer research. On late Tuesday afternoon, with the music of Hank Williams filling his room, Rolland Murray Fox, 80, died of lung cancer, with which he was diagnosed in January. His and the Fox family’s legacy is well known in PoCo and across Canada, and it began when Rolly met Betty Lou Wark at Winnipeg’s premier intersection of Portage and Main when he was a switchman for the Canadian National Railway. They fell in love, married in October of 1956 and, the following year, had Fred. Next was Terry in 1958 and, three years on, Darrell. Betty wanted a daughter, Rolly recalled in an interview with The Tri-City News in 2011, and so they tried for a girl. Judith arrived in 1965. The next year, wanting to raise his growing family in a warmer climate, Rolly transferred to B.C., working in the Vancouver and Surrey rail yards. He rented a house in Surrey and Betty and the kids travelled west by train a month later. They later heard about homes being built in Port Coquitlam, buying one at 3337 Morrill St. and “had a normal family life,” Rolly recalled in the interview. All was good until March 1977, when Terry was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma; part of his right leg was removed. Rolly’s co-workers at CN Rail rallied and bought Terry a wheelchair, which he used to play wheelchair basketball with his new friend Rick Hansen. Pleased with his athletic prowess, Terry started to run on his prosthetic leg. In 1979, he competed in a marathon in Prince George and, the

A FEW WORDS ABOUT ROLLY FOX
next year, set off to St. John’s, N.L., with his best friend Doug Alward, for the cross-country Marathon of Hope, wanting to draw attention to cancer victims — especially children like those he met on the cancer ward while in hospital. From their PoCo home, Rolly and Betty watched in disbelief as their son appeared on TV and conducted radio interviews; they talked with him by phone regularly, often inquiring about his health. In a surprise visit paid by the Toronto Star, the couple caught up with Terry in Whitby, Ont. The Star photographer captured the happy reunion, an image the family had printed on Betty’s funeral program in 2011. After Terry stopped his run — cancer had spread to his
lungs and he returned to PoCo — the media glare didn’t fade. The Foxes opened their home to welcome VIPs such as hockey greats Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr. By spring 1981, the Foxes had more mail delivered to their home each day than all of PoCo combined. The letters continued well after Terry’s death, on June 28, 1981, and Rolly personally answered more than 14,000 letters to thank the writers for remembering his son and to talk about the tragedy cancer can bring. Over the years, Rolly and Betty travelled extensively to spread Terry’s message and pay forward his hope to countless schools and groups. There were so many honours coast to coast: Dedications of schools, statues, a mountain
and a Coast Guard icebreaker; a loonie bearing Terry’s image; a bench at Stanley Park, where the Marathon of Hope was supposed to have ended; plaque unveilings; and, last year, the opening of a national museum exhibition. There were also annual appearances at Terry Fox runs, in Canada and around the world, including in their hometown of PoCo. “Rolly was fairly quiet when he came to the runs but had a wicked sense of humour. He always had time to speak with the runners and especially the kids,” Hometown Run organizer Dave Teixeira said. After Betty died in 2011, Rolly’s love for his “best friend” never wavered.
• Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore: “It is with great sadness that the city of Port Coquitlam receives news this evening of the passing of our friend Rolly Fox. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Fox family. The memories we will hold dear of Rolly will be of his charm, his sense of humour and is unwavering support for the Terry Fox Foundation.” • Terry Fox Hometown Run co-ordinator Dave Teixeira: “I am very sad to learn of Rolly’s passing today. Along with Betty, they attended the Terry Fox Hometown Run a dozen times in the last 15 years. Their stories about Terry and how they created the Terry Fox Foundation to continue the Marathon of Hope to find a cure for cancer was inspiring. Rolly was fairly quiet when he came to the runs but had a wicked sense of humour. He always had time to speak with the runners and especially the kids. Rolly and the entire Fox family are Canadian heroes and a lasting inspiration. This year’s Training Run in April and Terry Fox Runs in September will be bittersweet. We will be sad that Rolly will not be here but we will also celebrate all that he did for the Marathon of Hope.” • Premier Christy Clark: “B.C., Canada and the world have lost a dedicated, resolute pillar in the fight against cancer in Rolly Fox. He made the hero’s dream to beat cancer stronger and closer — not just for him but the millions of people inspired by him and the Fox family, and the thousands of families forever changed by life-saving cancer research. And while the entire province mourns his loss, tonight my thoughts and prayers are with Rolly’s friends and family.” • Rick Hansen, the Man in Motion: “Rolly Fox was an incredible human being who made an immense contribution through his work continuing his son’s legacy at the Terry Fox Foundation. He was genuine, caring and compassionate, always bringing strength and humour to whatever life threw at him. I was able to talk to Rolly on the phone after his diagnosis and was inspired by his courageous and positive attitude. He will be greatly missed. I am sending my deepest condolences to his family and friends.” • Britt Andersen, executive director of the Terry Fox Foundation: “Rolly’s unwavering commitment to fulfilling Terry’s dream of a world without cancer has been an inspiration to us all. His down-to-earth attitude and good humour will be missed and long remembered.”

From his Fraser Valley home, he would drive to PoCo nearly every week to lay flowers at her and Terry’s graves. Later, he would check in on Donna White, her staff (including Rolly and Betty’s granddaughters, Jessie and Kirsten) and the volunteers at the Terry Fox Foundation provincial office on Shaughnessy Street. As always, he brought jokes and a big smile. “Whenever I come here to PoCo, I feel like I’m coming home,” he told The Tri-City News in 2013, a few weeks before the 33rd anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. Still, it was during that interview that Rolly, then 78, talked about a new chapter in his life. He had married Janet, a family friend who had lost her husband around the same time Rolly lost Betty. They grieved together and soon found companionship. Rolly was frank about how his children took the news of their nuptials. “They said it was too soon,” he said, “but the four of us were friends and we thought our late spouses would appreciate us moving on.”
POCO CITY WILL ASK TO HOST FOX EXHIBIT
Port Coquitlam city hall this week applied to the Canadian Museum of History to have a national Terry Fox exhibit stop in his hometown. Currently, two different versions of the touring display — called Terry Fox — Running to the Heart of Canada — are only scheduled to appear in two B.C. communities: Nanaimo (a panel display at the Nanaimo District Museum, July 2 to Sept. 25) and Victoria (an artifact display at the Royal BC Museum, April to October 2017). On Tuesday, Pardeep Purewal, PoCo’s communications manager, told The Tri-City News the municipality wasn’t aware of the opportunity to host the national exhibit on its most famous son. If successful with its bid, PoCo would have the panel version of the show, a spokesperson from the Canadian Museum of History said. jwarren@tricitynews.com
He then added, “Everything is good in my life. My family is good. My health is good. I really can’t ask for anything more.”

TRI-CITY BUSINESS
JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News
The call is growing stronger for a single mobile business licence for contractors working throughout the Lower Mainland. Next week, officials from the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce will talk to Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody city councils about the need to have one mobile permit for any company doing business and travelling between Hope and West Vancouver. Aaron Robinson, the TriCities Chamber of Commerce’s public policy advisor, will unveil the results of a survey taken last month by local chamber members as well as members with 11 other chambers of commerce and boards of trade in the Lower Mainland. Of those who responded —
MICHAEL HIND representing such sectors as landscaping, home care, financial consulting, tradespeople and photographers — more than 80% want a single mobile business licence for the Lower Mainland. Still, some cautioned about the potential cost, warning if the fee structure is too high, it would deter small businesses from signing up. Ann Peterson of the Surrey
Board of Trade said combining the four current mobile business licence programs makes sense as it would save time and money for many companies. The four current programs are: • the Tri-Cities; • Fraser Valley: Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Langley city and township, Maple Ridge, Mission, Pitt Meadows and Surrey; • Metro Vancouver West: Burnaby, Delta, New Westminster, Richmond, Surrey and Vancouver; • and North Shore: North Vancouver city and district, plus West Vancouver. Mobile business licences allow companies to operate across municipal boundaries through the purchase of a single add-on permit on top of a base business licence. In the Tri-Cities, the cost is $165 to allow contrac-
tors to travel freely between Coquitlam, PoCo and PoMo. The program has grown in popularity since it launched on Jan. 1, 2013: More than 230 mobile permits were purchased last year versus about 200 in 2014. Michael Hind, the Tri-Cities’ Chamber’s executive director, said he would like to see the Tri-City councils pursue a regional mobile business model and develop education around it. A spokesperson for B.C.’s Ministry of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction said there’s movement afoot. “Given the success of the mobile business licence program, the province continues to promote its development and expansion, making it easier for businesses to operate,” the ministry said in an email. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

‘They value their physical activity’
Great training. Great careers. Tuition free. Trades training while still in high school

“They want to keep working,” she said. “They value their physical activity. Their values towards leisure and recreation are different from the cohort that is ahead of them.” This new generation has different attitudes about where to locate facilities and recreation opportunities for older adults. Some in the 65-and-over group prefer a separated space of their own while others are more comfortable integrating their activities in facilities that can include their families and younger friends, MorrisonClark said. New Canadians also have different values when it comes to seniors’ recreation activities, which will have to be taken into consideration in the drafting of the recreation strategy, she added. “Our two pavilions [Dogwood and Glen Pine] serve only 10% of the seniors cohort,” she said. “The rest of the 90% are doing something with their leisure time.” With people living longer, different demographic categories are starting to emerge within the older-adult crowd, according to Debbie Clavelle, Coquitlam’s community recreation manager. The needs and activities geared toward someone who is 65 are different from those of a person who is 85, which means the city will have to have considerable variation in its programming, she added. “We have seen in our pavilions how there is a different need and different desire for programming for the older senior versus the younger senior,” Clavelle

The recreational activities of people who are 65 and those of older seniors can be quite different, says Mary Morrison-Clark, Coquitlam’s manager of community recreation and culture. said. “We do see that variation.” With the 55+ BC Games coming to Coquitlam this year, both Clavelle and MorrisonClark said now is a good time for the city to have a conversation around its recreation strategy for older adults. A report to council on the plan was approved unanimously Monday and stakeholder consultation is expected to begin between now and the

summer. While the strategy is focused on those who are 65 and older, public input will be sought from those in the 50-to65 age group as well, according to the terms of reference. A draft strategy is expected to be completed before the end of the year and council adoption is scheduled to take place in early 2017. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

A non-profit society that provides recreational opportunities, job help and housing for people with mental health concerns is mourning the loss of its executive director. In a statement yesterday afternoon, the New View Society said staff and the board of directors are feeling sadness over the “shocking loss” of Jill Calder, who died early Thursday morning. Police reports say Calder died of injuries sustained when a tree fell on her house during Thursday’s windstorm. Calder was sleeping on the top floor of the house located off Noons Creek Drive in Port Moody when the accident occurred. Calder helmed New View Society for 16 years and helped oversee the transition of the organization to a new building at 2050 Mary Hill Rd. that opened in 2011, providing 10 beds of supported housing for adults with mental illness and addictions issues, daily programs for clients and a drop-in centre for at-risk and homeless people. The New View statement said Calder possessed an open management style with a team approach to her leadership. “She created a caring and warm atmosphere which allowed her staff to deliver the best possible support services to the members they serve.” Previously, Calder worked in the Port Coquitlam’s mayor’s

She died Thursday when a tree fell on her house in Port Moody during a windstorm. office and held various other government and non-profit posts. Mayor Greg Moore, who worked with Calder at city hall and later co-chaired the capital campaign for the New View rebuild, recalls the administrator as a “quiet leader” who didn’t shy from the responsibility of handling many of the planning details for the $4.1-million project. “Jill was really the glue, she was the person that brought all of the different players together,” Moore told The TriCity News, adding that clients’
needs were also foremost in her mind during the project development. “This is just a big loss for the community,” Moore said, pointing out that New View is the city’s largest mental health care provider. New View has operated in the Tri-Cities for 43 years. In addition to providing support to clients, it also offers mental health education for the community. The club house was closed Thursday to allow staff time to process the news.

Strong wind gusts of up to 90 km/h were recorded throughout southeastern Metro Vancouver and the western Fraser Valley Thursday morning, according to an Environment Canada warning, but eased off around noon. The storm cut power to more than 9,000 homes in the Tri-Cities — The Tri-City News was without power at its Port Coquitlam office until about 9:15 a.m., and experienced another short outage later in the morning — and traffic was snarled as morning commuters navigated through dark intersections. Several schools were closed in PoCo, one of the areas hardest hit by Thursday’s windstorm.
Parents were been told that students would be dismissed because of power outages at Cedar Drive, Castle Park, Irvine and Leigh elementary schools, plus Citadel and Kwayhquitlum middles because lights and heat were out and there was no certainty as to when power would be back on. In the event students couldn’t leave the school, they would be looked after, the school district said. BC Hydro said the hardest hit areas include Pitt Meadows, Abbotsford, Surrey and Langley, and crews had been working through the night to repair lines that had been downed by falling trees and branches. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

OUR OPINION
Cops and costs
P
ort Coquitlam council is giving some hints that it has not always been happy with the deal for sharing RCMP services with Coquitlam. In January, we heard PoCo had previously been on a “hiring hiatus” because of the lack of confidence council had with former top RCMP brass. And it is only now considering four more officers, for a crime-reduction unit, as part of its next budget. Then, this week, disgruntled PoCo councillors shared their disappointment about the procurement policy for the station, expressing frustration that they have no say in purchases and aren’t happy with the lack of information on a fleet RFP contract the city was denied. These complaints could all be a tempest in a teapot; indeed Coquitlam gave a reasonable explanation for the lack of detail on PoCo’s denied bid, although, in all fairness, a partner deserves better. For the community to have confidence in local policing, perhaps the shared agreement should be renegotiated or, at the very least, the cities need to hammer out their differences and come together on this important file.

n Super Tuesday in the U.S. — in which rude 69-year-old talking cartoon orange Donald Trump became the runaway front-runner for the Republican party presidential nomination — Americans set a record for the number of times they used the term “move to Canada” in Google searches. As that was happening, Canada’s immigration website was mysteriously experiencing technical difficulties, although government officials later claimed that the problems were unrelated to high traffic volume. For those who couldn’t get on the website for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, I’m here to provide a quick and easy quiz to see if you’ve got what it takes to move to Canada. Share it with your American friends if they’re considering heading north. It’s multiple choice — we’re pro choice up here — so here we go: • Guns are for... A) Soldiers, hunters and law enforcement personnel. B) Ringing in the New Year. C) Ensuring no one steps on your shoes at movie theatres. D) Weekends. And weekdays! Oh, and for turning off the TV when you’re really mad at your programs but you just

ate a whole bucket of chicken and can’t get off the sofa. Answer: A. Although that was a bit of a trick question. In Canada some of us call sofas chesterfields. • refuGees are... A) Probably terrorists. B) Yup, definitely terrorists. C) People who have experienced immense suffering and are in need of help. D) I don’t know... Mexicans? Answer: C. Although that definition could use some tinkering because the phrasing “experienced immense suffering and are in need of help” would include anyone who watched Netflix’s Fuller House. • Canadian money is... A) Not fake. B) Good enough to buy Marvin Gardens but not Boardwalk. C) Full of pretty colours. D) Fake. Answer: A. The colours aren’t pretty but it is real. Depending on what the stock exchange does on a particular day, you could come up here and trade one
American dollar for approximately $Bieber. • HealtH Care is... A) Your cue to snidely declare “Thanks, Obama.” B) Only for fancy people. Cancer? I’ll walk it off. C) A right guaranteed for every man, woman and child. D) Socialist crap that I’ll endorse over my cold grave. Hey ma, I shot myself in the leg again. Can you bring the pliers, a mickey of whiskey and three packs of Hubba Bubba? Answer: C. Although if you chose D you get partial credit for use of the word mickey. Unless you thought it was, like, a whiskey bottle shaped like Mickey Mouse. • tHe leader of Canada is... A) Called the prime minister. B) Technically the governor general. C) Technically technically the queen of England. D) Sure as hell not Donald J. Trump. Answer: All of the above. And the leader sure as hell isn’t Stephen Harper either, which will make Canada even more attractive now for people not interested in being governed by a dude who will trumpet whatever xenophobic ugliness pops into his head if it will help him gain power.

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
How does this help? The Editor, I immensely appreciate our government’s best efforts in providing housing and sufficient living allowance to disability recipients such as myself. I know we would probably lack such basic needs if we had the misfortune of living in a number of other countries. On the other hand, I can empathize with most disability recipients’ ire regarding the BC Liberals’ recent budget balancing act, which essentially will award us an extra $77 a month at the expense of our $45 annual bus pass come September. For some individuals like myself, who don’t extensively use transit, this new arrangement will provide the benefit of extra cash to better afford the rising cost of living. But the remaining majority of frequent transit users will be pressured into a dilemma between transit or living expenses. Choosing the former will leave less money for food and other necessities. Choosing the latter could incapacitate their mobility and,
thus, hinder their engagement in self-productive activities such as social networking and volunteering. Why does our BC Liberal government deliberately overtax the poor in times of economic crisis? Is it because we’re defenceless and wouldn’t put up a fight? Sometimes, I assure myself that in the near future, when Premier Christy Clark has finally succeeded in the complex and demanding task of revitalizing B.C.’s economy, she will begin to treat disability recipients more fairly, doling out allowances matched to the cost of living. Am I deluding myself? Every day I contemplate my fate and puzzle out a strategy to somehow, singlehandedly, escape the relentless grip of poverty. Until last June, I was hoping to complete two more refresher courses at Coquitlam Learning Opportunities Centre to gradually prepare myself for college — until our provincial government took away that privilege by mandating tuition fees there. Now, without my
bus pass, I probably would have no means to attend college even if I were ready. How much more suffering will disability recipients have to bear before Premier Clark acknowledges our humanity and treats us fairly, instead of punishing us because we’re too powerless to undermine her position as premier? I can only pray that underneath that veneer of severity lies a compassionate woman with an agenda that involves — eventually — helping us meet our needs. If I could have a moment of her absolute honesty, I would ask: Do you, Premier Clark, sincerely care about the future of us disability recipients, in a sense that you intend to eventually provide for us when the economy can manage the extra demand? If she responded “Yes” — and, once again, I could be assured of her absolute honesty — I would delight in my newfound hope and would certainly consider voting for her in the provincial election next year. Peter Toth, Port Coquitlam

Tri-CiTy News
Have a party and plant a tree — that’s the idea behind a Coquitlam 125 project that will see more than 100 trees take root during neighbourhood block parties this summer. This week, the city learned it had received a $25,000 grant from Tree Canada and TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for the Neighbourhood Tree Days Program. “This is really great news. There were only 13 communities out of 140 that applied that got the grant and we were one of them,” said Lanny Englund, the city’s urban forestry and parks services manager. Englund said the TD Green Streets grant will be used to provide trees that people can plant in their neighbourhoods as a legacy to celebrate Coquitlam’s 125th birthday. People filling out the application on the city’s website for a 125 Block Party can also tick a box to participate in the Neighbourhood Tree Days Program. Successful applicants will

PORT MOODY
City of the Arts could be called City of the Festivals Oktoberfest event among plans for 2016 in Moody SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
Is Port Moody a too-fun city? Squeezed in among the popular Golden Spike Days, Summer Sundays concert series, Wave Festival, Youth ArtsFest, the Food Truck Festival, Culture Days and RibFest could be three new events that were considered at Tuesday’s council meeting. Residents and visitors could be dining on schnitzel and doffing pints of pilsner from Sept. 30 to Oct. 9 if Jamie Bergen and Fred Ledlin get their way. The local duo — Ledlin is a Coquitlam resident who played professional hockey in Germany about 30 years ago — are hoping to put on an Oktoberfest celebration that could attract up to 15,000 people to the Knowle Street/ Pioneer Park area, complete with authentic “oompah” music, German food and beer. And they’re not stopping there. Ledlin and Bergen are also planning a
“Christkindlmarkt” winter festival that would run from Nov. 17 to Dec. 28, also with a German winter village theme, that could draw some 60,000 visitors (based on about 1,500 per evening). The pair said they are selffinancing both events and will direct any surplus to the Eagle Ridge Hospital, and all that’s needed are city approvals. Also on the agenda was a request from Burrard Inlet Fish Festival organizer Jay Peachey, with a request for about $24,000 in city funding for the three-day event featuring live music, First Nations performers and more. The fourth annual event will take place Aug. 12 to 14 (in the past, it has been at the end of September); council also approved similar dates for 2017, along with $17,000 in funding for this year. Council also considered a request from Corey Hawkins and Clyde Hill, who are asking for up to $40,000 in funding for an Inlet Music Festival on Aug. 27. Their proposal was deferred until staff could gather further information on the event. Coun. Diana Dilworth, chair of the city’s tourism committee, said events and festivals such as
these are a key part of promoting Port Moody as a tourism destination — one of the top priorities in council’s strategic plan. “The great thing about the festivals and events taking place in Port Moody is that they’re being conceptualized and implemented and operated by community groups,” Dilworth said. “It really gives the city the opportunity to sit back and support what’s taking place.” And she said that, far from the social calendar getting too jam-packed, there is still room to grow. “Residents want more festivals and family events and things to do in their backyard,” Dilworth said. “These types of events… bring the community together, so in terms of enhancing the sense of community and uniqueness of Port Moody, this is one way of making that happen.” Port Moody’s somewhat passive strategy differs from that of Coquitlam council, which is building a large outdoor venue on the eastern shore of Lafarge Lake — at a cost of nearly $3 million — to attract crowds for big events such as Canada Day. The controversial amphitheatre will seat 900 people (with an

option to increase it to 1,300) in stepped semi-circular seating around a stage and is designed to be a “showpiece” for the city. But public consultation showed only half of respondents were in favour of the project and many residents remain concerned about the noise levels both within the park and in surrounding areas. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Cities agree on tolling the new Pattullo Bridge JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS
The cities of Surrey and New Westminster have formally agreed the new Pattullo Bridge will be tolled to recover the construction costs, and that the new span will be four lanes, expandable in the future to six. The agreement was brokered by TransLink, which expects it will take six to seven years to build a new bridge to replace the existing 79-year-old crossing. Tolls on the new Pattullo had been widely expected and assumed by Metro Vancouver mayors as the main funding source for the $1-billion replacement project. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said she and other mayors also hope to develop a mobility pricing system that charges drivers by time of day and distance travelled and replaces the current system of bridge tolls, like the ones levied at the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges. The agreement predicts a conventional bridge toll will be necessary when the new Pattullo opens, but commits the parties to determine how it could later integrate into an eventual road pricing system. “As an interim measure prior to the full implementation of mobility pricing, consistent tolling of all the Fraser River crossings may be considered,” the agreement says, citing the need to make bridge tolling fairer to South of Fraser residents. New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté said tolling the new Pattullo is “very important” to his city, which has borne the brunt of rising traffic flows over the Pattullo as Highway 1 drivers divert to avoid paying tolls at the Port Mann. “We’ve seen a tremendous amount of congestion since the existing Pattullo has become the toll-free alternative,” Coté said, adding the impact on local
roads has been significant. “By coordinating the tolls between the Port Mann and the Pattullo Bridge, we feel traffic patterns will actually change and there will be reduced congestion on the Pattullo Bridge and the surrounding road networks.” He also hopes the province becomes part of a broader conversation on road pricing, adding the current method of tolling each new bridge as it opens has unwanted consequences. Transportation Minister Todd Stone was questioned again Monday as to whether he would leave the Alex Fraser Bridge as the only untolled crossing of the Fraser if both the new Pattullo and Massey bridges are tolled. “There’s at least five to six years here for there to be a thoughtful and considered discussion and debate across the region about the broader tolling policy,” Stone responded, referring to how long it will take for the new replacement bridges to open. Stone has previously said tolls on both the Pattullo and Massey would force an overhaul of the provincial tolling policy, which he said currently requires there to be “a nontolled alternative where that’s feasible.” TransLink aims to go out to bids to build the new bridge by fall of 2017. Meanwhile, TransLink is proceeding with a scaled-down rehabilitation of the existing bridge. Work begins in late April to resurface the deck, resulting in traffic lane closures and some complete bridge closures through September. The province has pledged to pay one third of the capital cost to replace the Pattullo, and the project is also in the hunt for federal contributions under the P3 Canada fund.

SHOPPING LOCAL
Green signs of spring at the local market MARKET FRESH
KAREN CURTIS
F
orget the Ides of March. Who wants to spend this glorious month worrying about what will happen? Just because Julius Caesar lost his head doesn’t mean we have to. This is a month to celebrate. The Earth is showing signs of renewal everywhere and nowhere more so than at the market. It appears I am not the only person who thinks shopping at farmers’ markets and eating in season is a good idea. I am seeing more and more articles and blog posts about how important it is, how to shop at market on a budget, how to prepare seasonal food and so on. Even the provincial government is getting behind produce for all and has recently introduced a tax credit for farmers who donate leftover produce — what a great idea. March is the perfect month to begin consistently visiting the market. Greens are popping up at more of the farmers’ booths and it won’t be long before the
bedding plants arrive, too. In the meantime, a lot of wonderful food is available. According to the guidelines established by the BC Association of Farmers Markets, a farmers’ market must consist of 60% primary food producers. That encompasses farmers as well as meat and dairy growers. We are so fortunate to have three meat producers and one cheese maker at the Port Moody market. One of my favourite meals is a frittata, salad, fresh bread and a simple dessert. It’s a really easy meal to put together from the market vendors, starting with the meat producers. Redl’s Beef has the sausage, Rockweld farms have the eggs and Golden Ears Cheesecrafters have the cheese. All you have to do is cut the sausage into pieces (two sausages are plenty) or remove it from the casing and sauté it, throw in a handful of chopped onions, and let it all cook until the meat is no longer pink. Meanwhile, beat six eggs together with a bit of salt and pepper (even better if it’s flavoured salt from The Salt Dispensary) and pour it over the meat. Let it cook over medium low heat, stirring for the first minute or so, then let it cook through. A lid will help speed things up. Put a big handful of grated cheese on top during the last three or four minutes of cooking. The beauty of a frittata is that
you can use whatever meat and cheese you have on hand and it will always be good. Some lovely spring greens from Nutrigreens on the side, along with some crust bread from A Bread Affair or Gesundheit and you are good to go. You can even get grass-fed butter from Golden Ears to put on the bread. Finish the whole meal with a lovely lemon tart from Sweet Thea. There you have it, another entire meal from the market. A great variation on the above ingredients is a savoury bread pudding. That is another of my easy meals. If you plan ahead, you can use the other half of the ingredients you bought to make the frittata. This time, cube the rest of the bread and place it in a greased casserole. Sauté the sausage and onion as you did for the frittata and add it to the bread. Mix six eggs with three cups of whole milk (whole milk is critical) and pour it all over the bread and sausage. Season it with salt and pepper. Let the casserole stand for a few minutes, then bake in a 350 F oven for and hour or so, until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let it rest for 15 minutes then serve, again with a side of greens. Perfection! Two totally different meals, from the same ingredients, for about $25.
RECIPE: TRY A HEARTY & TASTY VEGGIE SOUP
I’ll leave you with a proper recipe for carrot and lentil soup from acedarspoon.com. Stop by Forstbauer’s for the carrots — you will never get your carrots anywhere else.
CARROT & LENTIL SOUP
2 tbsp olive oil 1 sweet onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves, minced 7 medium-sized carrots, peeled and chopped (try roasting them first for an even more flavourful soup) 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp turmeric 2 tsp coriander 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp cinnamon 2 cups red lentils, rinsed until water runs clear 1-15 oz. can diced tomatoes 6 cups vegetable broth Salt and pepper to taste Fresh cilantro, fresh lemon juice, crushed red pepper to garnish Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and add the spices (about 5 to 6 minutes). Add the carrots and sauté until carrots are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes and lentils, and stir to combine. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Serve soup with fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper and fresh lemon juice. To create a creamy soup, use a blender and blend soup in portions or use an immersion blender in the pot. If you want to spend even less, a bowl of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich makes a great meal. Once again, market bread and cheese are the staples.

DOGWOOD WHITE CANE
HELP FOR SENIORS
The Dogwood White Cane group is a chapter of the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB). The club was started in 1986 by Elaine Harris, who saw a need in the Tri-City area for a group to support blind and visually impaired people. In 1986, the closest group was at Century House in New Westminster. With co-operation from Dogwood Pavilion, she started a group that met weekly and still does to this day, with Elaine still an active member. The has members from Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Burnaby. The group focuses on information, activity and support. For information, it has a volunteer who reads the latest news related to vision issues. Most recently, Dogwood White Cane had a meeting at which each member demonstrated the adaptive device they found most useful in their daily lives. For activity, the group has a weekly game of table bowling, which allows members with balance issues to bowl without excessive bending (they may hold onto the table if they need additional support). It is similar to five-pin bowling, but with smaller pins and balls. When sighted people think of blindness, they often think of total blackness while, in reality, there are different forms of vision loss that may affect a person’s mobility, such as loss of central vision without the loss of peripheral vision as well as extreme nearsightedness. Dogwood White Cane members use braille as well as electronic magnifiers to function in their daily lives so this diversity in vision loss allows new members to the group to find someone they can relate to and provide support. As the club is affiliated with Dogwood Pavilion, its members are seniors in age, if not in spirit. The youngest member is 60 years of age and it has a very active member who recently celebrated her 90th birthday. The only common denominator is that all, at some point, were looking for people who could relate to their loss of vision and the isolation that can bring as they are no longer able to keep up with sighted friends. Dogwood White Cane meets every Thursday at Dogwood Pavilion in the card room from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., from September to June. For more information, call Pat Roy at 604931-6835 or past-president Ivy Rodgers at 604-939-3164.

The Royal at Victoria Hill Lives Up to its Name Onni Group unveils the last offering in the sought-after Victoria Hill masterplanned community in New Westminster
I
n the highly sought-after masterplanned community of Victoria Hill, one of the largest and most respected developers in Canada, Onni Group, is once again offering a unique and exciting new project, The Royal. Designed by award-winning Yamamoto Architecture, The Royal will feature two boutique four-storey buildings blending the best of Old World charm with today’s contemporary design. The Royal features only 63 homes, including six townhomes centered on a beautifully landscaped plaza that will create a gathering place and further encourage the sense of community that has made Victoria Hill so popular with its residents. Thoughtfully designed, these homes will reflect the lifestyle needs of first-time home owners, downsizers and empty nesters. Situated at the heart of the awardwinning community, nestled between Centre Pond Park and The Grand Lawn, with heritage trees, paths and greenways, it’s easy to understand why there’s been such a huge response. “The Royal will be the last chance to buy a brand new home in Victoria Hill, a well-
established neighbourhood with over 40 acres of green space,” says Sam Jenkins, regional sales manager at Onni Group of Companies. “This will be a very limited opportunity and is the final piece of land to be developed at Victoria Hill, which Onni has been building for over a decade now.” Victoria Hill is attracting a lot of buzz from the immediate or surrounding cities, everyone taken by the natural beauty that
surrounds this community. “It’s a much more affordable option and more and more people are moving here for its central location within the Lower Mainland and the bridgeless commute downtown,” he adds. Ranging from 610 to 1,385 square feet, The Royal features spacious oneand three-bedroom homes that include generous outdoor space (with particularly large terraces on all upper-level homes)
for entertaining or catching a spectacular sunset. Then there is the private, residentsonly amenities space. It showcases a 1,300-square-foot professionally equipped fitness centre with state-of-the-art weight-lifting equipment. As well, there is a well-appointed outdoor lounge for dining and entertaining with direct access to a beautifully landscaped rooftop overlooking the Fraser River with a BBQ area and artificial turf lawn. The Royal offers a truly carefree living experience in this New Westminster community. Starting from $329,900, these beautifully appointed homes are rare today. In addition, your new home is close to transit, shopping and everything an urbanite wants. “The Royal is the final chapter for Victoria Hill,” adds Jenkins. “A pedestrian friendly neighbourhood located right next door to Queen’s Park … people love the sense of community that Onni has created here and really appreciate how connected it is to transit yet hidden away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.” The Grand Opening for The Royal at Victoria Hill is THIS Saturday, March 12 from noon to 6 pm at the presentation centre, #203 - 20 E Royal Ave, New Westminster. There will be a Vera’s Burger Shack food truck on site serving food and beverages. For more information, call 604-5230733, email theroyal@onni.com or visit www.onni.com/theroyal. Open daily from noon to 6pm (except Fridays). Estimated completion is slated for fall 2017.

BCHL HOCKEY
Coq. Express train comes off the tracks Chiefs put an end to Coquitlam’s BCHL season GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
It was a tough way to end the season for the Coquitlam Express. The squad fell in Game 4 of its best-of-seven playoff series against the Chilliwack Chiefs, a round that saw the team come within striking distance of winning twice with overtime finishes, but unable to muster a victory. Wednesday night was not even close. Chilliwack came out looking to put the series away in front of 749 fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, with Chiefs’ forward Ryan Bechtel, Jake Smith and Kale Kane each scoring to put the team ahead 3-0 before the first intermission. A goal from Austin McIlmurray got Coquitlam on the board, but Chilliwack quickly repsonded with goals from Mark Esposito and Ryan Forbes, taking the 5-1 lead to the final buzzer. The game was a feisty affair and both teams were clearly getting tired of each other. Chilliwack and Coquitlam squared off in the in the last two games of the regular
season, making Wednesday night’s meeting the six game in a row for these two squads. But the Chiefs were not as dominant in previous matches as they were Wednesday night. Twenty-four hours earlier the Express came within a whisper of bagging their first win of the year against the Fraser Valley opponents, when strong defensive play forced the game into overtime. Two goals from McIlmurray and a single from Cameron Bertsch kept the game close and strong play from netminder Lawson Fenton, who turned away 41 of the 45 shots he faced, helped Coquitlam hang on. However, any hope of the Express taking a win in Game 3 were dashed when Chilliwack’s Austin Adam potted a pass from Jordan Kawaguchi to finish up the game. Coquitlam struggled on the road in the first two games of the series as well, with Game 2 on Saturday particularly problematic. In that match, the Express only mustered one goal — a Mitch Newsome marker assisted by Colton Kerfoot — while Chilliwack padded its playoff statistics with nine unanswered tallies. The series got off to a promising start for Coquitlam Friday night at Prospera Place. see CHIEFS, page 32

Rapids finish 5th, Best takes 9th at provincials sr. boys tourney gets underway in Langley this week GARY MCKENNA

Riverside Rapids player Ozioma Nwabuko takes a shot during a game against Abbotsford secondary at the AAA B.C. Secondary School Girls Basketball Championships last weekend. Riverside finished fifth at the tournament and Nwabuko was named first team all star.
The Riverside Rapids started off strong but a hiccup in the second Game 2 of the AAA B.C. Secondary School Girls Basketball Championship kept the team from obtaining the ultimate prize last weekend at the Langley Events Centre. After downing Handsworth seconday 70-53 in the opening match last Wednesday, the Rapids fell in disappointing fashion to Lord Tweedsmuir,
with the Surrey school squeaking by the PoCo club 79-76. With the loss, Riverside was kept from moving on to the semifinals, instead playing a consolation game against Abbotsford, which the team won 81-54. That set the stage for a fifth-place matchup against Claremont secondary, which Riversdie won 72-64. Meanwhile Dr. Charles Best secondary, the other TriCity club in the tournament, fell in the opening round to Claremont in another close 62-61 finish. Best went on to demolish North Peace 84-36, Kelowna 68-71 and Handsworth 56-50 to finish ninth in the tournament.
Several Tri-City athletes received individual honours at the conclusion of the provincial championship. Riverside’s Ozi Nwabuko was named first team all star, while Dr. Charles Best’s Kendal Sands received an honourable mention. In junior girls high school basketball, the Terry Fox Ravens finished eighth at the tournament. On the boys side, the Terry Fox Ravens’r quest for a AAAA senior title got off to a rocky start. The PoCo club fell 90-55 against the Kelowna secondary Owls. The team was scheduled to play Saint Georges Thursday afternoon after The Tri-City News’ deadline.

PoMo’s Voss racks up medals Port Moody skier Katrina Voss tore up the slopes at the Provincial Open Series under16 race on the peak of Grouse Mountain last weekend. The Hemlock Ski Club member took two silver medals and a bronze medal in three slalom races, an effort that now ranks the Tri-City athlete second overall in under-16 ladies skiing in B.C. Teammate Lena Liljedahl, also of Port Moody, finished 27th at the race. “It’s been very cool to watch our U16 girls Lena and Katrina work hard and improve this winter, especially Katrina with her three podiums at Grouse against the top kids in the province” said Rob Lahti, program director and head coach for Hemlock, who used to race for Canada on the World Cup circuit.

The Port Coquitlam EuroRite FC United are B.C. Coastal Girls Soccer League under-13 champions after taking down the Royal City Strikers 1-0 last weekend. All it took was one goal from Jordana Bowser for the PoCo club to defeat the New Westminster team, with strong defensive play keeping the opponents out of scoring territory. A couple of big saves from Emma Del Santo helped secure the win for the Andrew Windcross-coached club, who gave the Strikers its first loss of the year.
