Cities, sd43 aim to cut emissions diane strandberg
Janis Warren The Three amigos are hitting the road again. Next month, the mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody will reprise their Town Haul journey to the federation of Canadian Municipalities (fCM) convention. This year’s Rv trip will be much shorter than last year’s inaugural edition — three days to Edmonton.

School district 43 and the cities of Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam are cutting greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30% with massive retrofits of lighting and heating as well as changes in behaviour. Local governments are required to report on their progress in achieving their carbon neutral goals under b.C.’s Climate action Charter, and this week many are tallying up their efforts in a bid to meet
MoRe on tRi-CitY sChools what do School district 43 and local authorities do in case of a threat to a school? see article, page 3 provincial regulations. on Monday, the city of Coquitlam announced it was on track to achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gasses by 30% by the end of 2015. Sd43 is on the same wavelength with a 26% reduction. In Port Moody, a major
project to retrofit lighting and install a low-emissivity ceiling at the arena resulted in an annual savings of 335,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) and is keeping the ice cooler while using less energy. see BIG CUTS, page 6

TRI-CITY SCHOOL SAFETY
What schools do when things get scary
Sd43 plan covers what must be done in case of a threat
thReAt leVels
The following are the levels of threat and the follow-up action as laid out in the guide for responding to threats in the Sd43 protocol: • Immediate threat: Call 911 — could involve weapon in possession that poses serious threat to others, or a plan for a serious assault, homicidal/suicidal behaviour that threatens safety, fire, violent intruder, assailant, specific bomb threat; could involve lockdown/lockout or evacuation, handled by superintendent and police. • High-risk behaviours: Could involve possession of weapon/replica, bomb threat plan, verbal/written internet threats to kill/injure (specific and plausible), internet threats to kill or injure self/others, fire setting, threats of other acts of violence, increase of intensity and/or frequency of worrisome behaviour. • Worrisome behaviours: Could involve violent content in drawing pictures or written stories/journals, or vague threatening statements, unusual interest in fire, significant change in child’s baseline behaviour.
diane strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
School district 43 has finalized a new protocol to help schools handle crises, including bomb threats, violence with weapons and intimidation. The new threat assessment guide comes just weeks after a bomb threat sent staff and students at Scott Creek middle school out on the field while Coquitlam RCMP officers and sniffer dogs searched the building for a bomb. The protocol is expected to help schools deal with similar incidents in the future, helping them identify and investigate problem behaviour when staff and students are targeted. In Sd43, bomb threats are rare but approximately two to three “high-risk” incidents occur each year at most high schools, requiring a district evaluation and threat assessment (a middle school may get one or two). Each must be investigated thoroughly and a plan of action put in place with follow-up monitoring, according to assistant superintendent Julie Pearce. The new procedure, called the Community Threat assessment Protocol, carries the signatures of top officials at Coquitlam RCMP and Port
thiNKstoCK
Parents depend on the schools their children attend to be safe places. so what do school officials and police do when they become aware of a threat? A plan developed by school District 43 addresses that. Moody Police, the Ministry of Children and family development and the Child and Youth Crisis Program, as well as superintendent Patricia Gartland and board chair Judy Shirra, and will make it easier for these agencies to share student information when school safety is threatened. “Part of the mandate is preparing a community protocol with community partners for addressing potential threats. We want to be able to have communication with those partners,” explained Rissa
Wilson, acting CabE principal, who co-authored and presented the new protocol at Tuesday’s board of education meeting along with counselling co-ordinator anna Lemmo. In the works since 2010 but already being used at schools, the protocol sets out a plan for identifying and dealing with low-, moderate- and high-risk threats, including data collection, interviews and sharing of information between agencies. The plan also carries a “fair notice” provision, to be included in student agendas
handed out each year, letting students and parents know that student information could be shared between agencies in the event of threatening behaviour. occasionally, the student is a threat to him or herself, through self-harm or threats of suicide, and the protocol can be used in these circumstances as well to collect information and help the child. In all cases, the goal is to help students reintegrate back into school life, Lemmo said. “family, social, school, personality — you have to look
For more on threat levels and related information, please read this story online at tricitynews.com at all those factors,” Lemmo said in explaining the strategy for re-integration, which she said could benefit from the new collaborative protocol because students might be able to bypass waiting lists to get counselling. Lemmo said parents and guardians are also required to participate while students have to agree to a plan of action, which could include drug and alcohol counselling, with monitoring a key part of the follow up in the violence threat/risk assessment report. The key is keeping track
of a student’s behaviour and intervening appropriately. for example, a student could be well-behaved but, all of a sudden, exhibit violent behaviour or a student might be aggressive but their violent behaviour could escalate. Counsellors need to know a child’s “baseline” behaviour and be alert to any changes. “Kids don’t just snap… and go in and do a school shooting,” Wilson said. “We pay attention to the signs and signals that are there in kids at risk.”

Sd43 backs – quietly – Chevron grant program diane strandberg
The Tri-CiTy News
School district 43 is once again supporting a program that provides $1,000 grants to teachers for innovative projects despite concerns raised by the bC Teachers’ federation and the Coquitlam Teachers’ association because the money comes form the petroleum giant Chevron. Last year, 65 teachers at 27 Tri-City schools received grants totalling $100,000 in the fuel Your School program, which was promoted by school principals as a way of getting new equipment into cashstrapped schools.
among the projects approved was a creative writing class using Lego, a musical mathematics program and a math game that needed special equipment. “There’s lots of room for experimentation and hands-on learning,” assistant superintendent Reno Ciolfi told the board of education at its meeting Tuesday. He said boys in particular prefer school work that involves equipment. The program rolled out in Sd43 last fall after it was turned down by the vancouver School board and criticism from the CTa and the bCTf. after a slow start, there were more applications than
there was money to hand out. Ciolfi said through the crowdfunding platform that highlights the projects, www. myclassneeds.ca, people could donate further to the projects, boosting the project funds. “That might open the doors to other people crowd-sourcing,” he said. Still, he admitted that the district is new to crowdfunding. as for whether the program gives Chevron special treatment, Ciolfi said the district isn’t asked to promote the purchase of gas, even though that’s how funds are collected to pay for the grants — $1 per 30 litres of gas bought at Chevron sta-
tions in Coquitlam. He admitted that the school district walks a fine line in recommending teachers apply for the grants and “made a careful effort to be low key,” because “it riles some people.” The equipment purchased doesn’t advertise Chevron and is engaging to students, with over 4,000 benefitting from the project aid, he said. board chair Judy Shirra said the program is worth supporting. as long as the “integrity of staff” is maintained, the Port Coquitlam trustee said, teachers should “jump on this and run with it.”

$1.8M for Coquitlam in hard rock revenue Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy News
The city of Coquitlam’s windfall from Hard Rock Casino vancouver is back on track after the gaming venue posted a successful first quarter in its second year of operation. This week, the municipality received $1.8 million as part of its 10% cut of net proceeds as host to the casino — a $300,000 jump from the $1.5 million it earned for the same quarter last year. Previously, as boulevard Casino, the site generated $1.9 million for the city between Jan. 1 and March 31, 2011; in the same quarter for 2012, it brought in $2 million for Coquitlam; while that quarter in 2013 resulted in a $1.8 million payment to Coquitlam. The casino’s parent company, Great Canadian Casinos (GCC), rebranded the united boulevard property in december 2013 as Hard Rock Casino vancouver with the aim of drawing a younger clientele. Last week, GCC announced its q1 results for Hard Rock Casino vancouver had jumped by 41%, to $4.1 million. In total, the public company took in revenues of $108 million — up 4% from the 2014 q1, with net earnings of $16.1 million.
Expecting visitors this summer? You could check out Coquitlam’s new travel and experience guide. Rendezvous Coquitlam is available both online at www. coquitlam.ca/explore and at city facilities, visitor centres and vancouver International airport — 25,000 have been printed. following the guide, you could show off the quintessential Coquitlam experiences and Not Your Everyday Excursions such as the Coquitlam Crunch, Mackin House Museum, SPaRC Radio Museum, the Centennial Rose Garden and more. The guide showcases the city’s tourism assets and recreation opportunities, including hiking, biking and birding, plus city facilities, with a feature on Town Centre Park. There’s also info on recreational opportunities and city attractions as well as shopping, dining and nightlife, and details on local festivals. as well, there’s a self-guided public art tour, a seasonal event guide and a map. Rod baker, GCC’s president and chief executive officer, said in a news release the property opened a new high-limit table area and created a more highlimit slot area in february, and “we expect both of these additions will improve Hard Rock Casino vancouver’s premium gaming experience.” Hard Rock is the largest gaming venue in the province by gaming space, with 1,000 slot machines, 70 game tables and a poker room inside 80,000 sq. ft.

and in PoCo, similar upgrades at recreation centres and other facilities are saving about 1.2 million kWh, or enough energy to power 117 households for a year, with additional upgrades planned for the city operations centre, city hall annex and parks washrooms. In Coquitlam, the city’s Thermenex energy system helped it achieve its goals while Sd43 is in the midst of a five-year plan to shave its carbon emissions so it doesn’t have to pay so much money to the Pacific Carbon Trust to be carbon neutral. The cities don’t have to pay carbon offsets but Sd43 has to find $215,575 in its budget to offset its carbon emissions. but Sd43 is making some significant changes and in five years has made remarkable progress, said Wayne Cousins, bC Hydro’s education sector key account manager, who awarded the school district with a top 10 Power Smart customer award at a board of education meeting Tuesday. “You’ve more consistently achieved energy savings

Energy upgrades to cut electricity and natural gas consumption in School district 43 will be among the projects undertaken this summer, paid for by the district’s annual facilities grant (afG). In all, $5.2 million of afG funds will be spent on dozens of school renovation projects, including $1.5 million for boiler replacements and $710,000 for lighting upgrades. as well, the district will spend $1.2 million on roof replacement, $383,000 for repaving and $56,000 for playing field upgrades. The district won’t know which schools will get upgrades to playing fields until final costs from tenders have been determined. Several schools are on the priority list, according to Ivano Cecchini, Sd43’s principal of facilities and planning services.

Last year, for example, the district cut electricity and natural gas consumption by 7.5% each, paper use by 16% and fleet emissions by 7.5%. as a result, it doesn’t have to pay so much in carbon offsets.

CHAFER BEETLES
PM battles beetles with overseeding overseeding is Pomo’s plan to battle beetles sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
as the European chafer beetle marches along its path of destruction through the Tri-Cities, Port Moody has approved a plan of attack, using overseeding as its weapon of choice. a staff report at Tuesday’s council meeting detailed the bug’s damage to sports fields, parks, boulevards, medians and areas around civic buildings, with just nine sites out of the 60 damaged areas requiring treatment. Those sites include:
Heritage Mountain and Rocky Point parks; a boulevard at Ioco Road and barnet Highway; portions of medians or islands on Ioco Road, Parkside drive and Guildford Way; the Cowley Court traffic circle; and around the civic centre amphitheatre. damaged areas were mainly found on areas that receive less maintenance, such as boulevards and side banks next to playing fields. Staff examined strategies ranging from healthy lawn maintenance to overseeding, nematode application and converting lawns to other ground cover. overseeding was found to be the most cost-effective way to repair the damaged grass and prevent future infestations. The work is estimated to cost $10,000 but can be done within
TRI-CITY MAYORS
resources focus of 2015 town Haul continued from front page
In 2014, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore and PoMo Mayor Mike Clay spent 11 days on the road en route to the fCM in Niagara falls, visiting their counterparts along the way to share experiences and info on running local governments. This year, the trio is set to leave June 3 from the TriCities, with their first stop in burnaby for 9 a.m. There, they will meet with burnaby Coun. Sam dhaliwal, president of the union of bC Municipalities. afterward, they will motor to Chilliwack, ashcroft and the Cariboo regional district, staying overnight in 100 Mile House where, on day 2, they will interview that municipality’s mayor in the morning before they hit Williams Lake, dawson Creek and fort St. John. Their third day will involve talking to officials in fort St. John about resource industries as well as alberta stops in Grand Prairie and Slave Lake before arriving in Edmonton for the national conference on June 5. Moore, who is also Metro vancouver’s board chair, told The Tri-City News on Thursday the local mayors are working out the details for Town Haul 2.0 and are in need of sponsors for the vehicle rental fee, gas and internet connections (fraserway Rv, from which they are renting a motor home, is picking up the kilometre charges). The cost won’t be as high as last year, when they travelled across five provinces. “Last time, they were really long marathon days,” Moore said. “We started at 7 in the morning and we would get to our destination around 11 at night, with five stops in be-

This time, we have a two-and-a-half day period.” The theme for this year’s adventure will be exploring the connection between urban and rural communities in b.C. “We have a lot of conversations in the Metro vancouver area about how important resources are to us,” Moore said. “We see a lot of trains come through all three of our communities holding a lot of resources, so now we’re going to meet the communities that are at the front end of that resource. “What are their challenges around resource development? We want to share with them the challenges we go through on our end so there’s a better connection between urban and rural communities in our province,” Moore said. along the way, the trio will snap photos, film videos and post blog entries on the Town Haul website (townhaul.ca.).

the existing operating budget since normal grass maintenance work can’t be done on the damaged areas. Council had asked staff to look into ways to handle the invasive pest but decided in January it was not willing to make an exception to its pesticide ban, regardless of the chafer beetle’s remarkable spread. In february, council also approved an education program, at a cost of up to $5,000, to inform residents about ways to battle the beetle on their properties. as well, the city will implement a coupon program to offer a 50% subsidy for the purchase of nematodes at a cost of up to $5,000 per year for two years.

OUR OPINION
where do you do your shopping?

ho would have predicted that cross-border shopping — a pre-occupation of retailers and consumers in 2013, when the loonie was closer to par — would have dropped off the radar by 2015? but that is what has happened. It’s not just the dollar that is keeping Canadians closer to home but the proliferation of online buying opportunities. While shopping online is efficient and there is great variety, it isn’t a perfect system. Canadians who make shopping close to home a part of their lifestyle keep taxes and jobs in their neighbourhood — a good thing for those eking a living in the service and retail industries, and for government budgets. but the high u.S. dollar also makes imported food and other necessities more expensive while cheaper gas doesn’t seem to offset the high costs. So while we might not be shopping down south, we are still feeling the hit to our pocketbooks.

hat happens when you mix climate change, Premier Christy Clark, a mysterious tinfoil-covered device and a company bent on building a nuclear fusion generator? I have no idea because my newspaper never received an invite to Premier Clark’s press event at General fusion in burnaby on Tuesday morning. You would think her office would alert the local paper but, no, nothing. I called the premier’s office and was told to email her handler, which is fine, but the event had already started, so time was of the essence. When I pressed for details, I was repeatedly told this man had no information and I would have to email my query. I received an emailed reply with a sincere apology and a promise to look into why we never received an invite — but still no info on the actual event. Then we were told the newspaper had to “opt in” somewhere to receive emails, and we’re still waiting for the link for that. Meanwhile, Clark was long gone and our deadline had passed. This is just one example of the daily frustrations reporters face when dealing with the provincial government. Senior levels of government are harder and harder to reach,

making it more difficult for reporters to get the information we believe you need to participate in a democratic society. It also makes it difficult for us to do one of the most important facets of our job: hold elected officials accountable. How many times have you read the following line in a paper: “We received this emailed statement in response to a request for an interview.” Every time you read that, know that a reporter is very likely angry, and that’s a not-so-subtle clue they are not getting the answers they deserve. The “statement” is often attributable to “the ministry,” which goes against our key practice of naming sources and often ignores the questions we were asked to email. oh, and if you give a deadline of, say, 5 p.m., you’ll likely get a response between 4:50 and 4:59 p.m. Want to talk to an actual person? forget it. Ministries only let the ministers talk on record, and good luck getting them on any subject remotely contentious. Think I’m the only one complaining? Check out Sean Holman’s blog unknowable Country (seanholman.com). He’s the journalist who used to run Public Eye online and he recently wrote about how awful the provincial government’s media responses are.
I also run the vancouver Press Club, where Tv, radio and print journalists meet regularly for drinks, and we have a facebook group of more than 400 reporters. Lack of access is a common complaint — and not just for the provincial government as the feds are worse. Some reporters, like Travis Lupick at the Georgia Straight, insist on interviews and refuse to print emailed statements. Burnaby Now reporter Janaya fuller-Evans sends the emails back, saying she can’t use them unless there’s a name attached or she talks to someone. CTv’s Jonathan Woodward ignores the irrelevant statements while bob Mackin files freedom of information requests on how the messaging was concocted. North Shore News reporter brent Richter and I drop that passiveaggressive line in our stories, saying we asked for an interview and got this statement instead, hoping the readers get it. Let’s hope the wider public is concerned come election time because that’s when politicians are most vulnerable and likely to hear our grievances. In the meantime, all they hear is the sound of our heads banging against our desks.

PoMo wants quiet protection from CP sarah Payne
PoMo PAsses 3.11% tAX inCReAse
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody continues to negotiate with CP Rail to quiet the cacophony of whistles along the Ioco spur line. In an update to council at Tuesday’s meeting, staff said discussions with CP Rail and Transport Canada show manual protection, as opposed to stopping whistles, is a likely possibility. Manual protection is an exemption to the federal Canadian Railway operating Rules (CRoR) and requires train operators to manually control traffic on the roadway while a train approaches a crossing. It would be up to CP Rail to handle any additional staffing to accomplish this. City staff noted the manual protection method is far less costly than whistle cessation, which would require a system of flashing lights and bells at some or all of the eight crossings on the Ioco spur line at an estimated cost of up to $200,000 per location. Late-night activity on the line has increased recently,
Port Moody’s 3.11% tax increase is official after council adopted its five-year financial plan at Tuesday’s meeting. for the owner of an average assessed home valued at $539,000, the tax bill will go up by $89 (including utilities), largely to pay for salary and benefit increases for city staff. PoMo residents also pay an additional 1% for the asset renewal levy, which helps the city sock away money for infrastructure repairs. That cost could go up in future years, however, after a detailed assessment of the civic centre showed the building’s design and construction deficiencies will come with a nearly $4 million repair bill. built in 1994, the civic centre is showing signs of water damage on the roof, walls, windows and elsewhere. Council ratified a finance committee recommendation to have staff look into increasing the asset management levy by 0.5% annually to help pay for the civic centre improvements over a five-year period. The five-year financial plan currently projects increases of about $100 annually through to 2019.

mainly due to congestion delays at CP’s Port Coquitlam yard and maintenance that has also caused service delays for the West Coast Express. Trains have typically headed out to Imperial oil at about 4 p.m. and returned at 9 p.m. but six residents living in the area who have been recording train
activity since May 2014 have logged trains passing between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. CP Rail already operates under a CRoR exemption that limits whistle blasts to 100 m in advance of crossings on the Ioco spur line, instead of the required 400 m.

merrick Fishing D e r b y arrested a Surrey man convicted of murdering a woman and dumping her body on burke Mountain — and who escaped from prison in March — has been located and arrested. Shawn Merrick, 43, was spotted on the roof of a home in Langley by officers in the RCMP air 1 helicopter. He was arrested without incident. Merrick was discovered missing from the Mission Institution during a head count on March 31 and soon became a suspect in six bank robberies in Surrey and Langley, prompting the Canadian bankers association to put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. at the time of his escape, Merrick was serving a life sentence for the brutal killing of Shelley Lynn devoe, also known as Shelley Lynn Russell, in the fall of 2006. He was charged in July 2007 and, while in custody, he was sentenced to six years in jail in connection with nine bank robberies and one attempted robbery between december 2006 and January 2007. Merrick would have been eligible for full parole on Jan. 3, 2017. He has been taken back to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence on the murder charge.

Cougar chilling park? big cats seen in PoMo
Stay out of Bert Flinn Park until cougars move on Trail users are urged to avoid bert flinn Park in Port Moody over the next few days to allow a cougar family that was spotted in the area to head back into the wilderness. The cougars were spotted on a webcam Wednesday at Mossom Creek Hatchery and the online video of them walking around the hatchery building has proved popular. Conservation officer Const. Cody ambrose said the animals aren’t exhibiting any abnormal behaviour, such as eating pets and livestock or stalking humans, and will likely move away on their own. “We’re mainly asking people
walking or biking on the trails to be aware the cougars are in the area and to avoid the area until the cougars move on,” he told The Tri-City News. ambrose said cougars are drawn to that area of PoMo because of its proximity to wilderness and deer. Signs were expected to be posted Thursday. If people must be in the area, he said, they should travel in pairs. If they spot a cougar, they should make themselves as big as possible and, if necessary, throw a stick at the animal but not run. ambrose said conservation officers will be monitoring the trio of cougars and people are encouraged to call 1-877-9527277 if they spot them or other cougars. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

may 15 is deadline for voters to request a ballot Jeff nagel BlaCk Press
Elections bC says it has now received and screened 616,519 Metro vancouver transit referendum ballots from 39.5% of registered voters. The breakdown of returned ballots shows the count has surpassed November’s municipal election turnout in
most municipalities. (See story on our website for interactive charts.) Spokesman don Main said Elections bC has caught up in processing incoming ballots and no longer has a significant backlog to work through. The latest numbers come as a final push is on by both the Yes and No camps in the Metro vancouver transit plebiscite to ensure every voter gets a ballot. Some residents may not have received ballot packages because they misplaced or lost them or they receive one for
other reasons, such as an address change.

Participation rates are expected to be high, he said, topping last year’s effort, when more than 10,000 people signed up to be part of the program. as well, more schools are expected to participate in bike to School Week, with at least three Tri-City schools joining in the fun. “When you have more people cycling, it encourages people to cycle,” Stein said. To jumpstart the festivities, Sir frederick banting middle school in Coquitlam hosted a Tri-Cities Tricycle Challenge yesterday (Thursday), with a friendly tricycle riding competition between the mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, and between principals from three local schools. and next Wednesday (May 20), Hub will host a multi-

To help commuting road warriors, there will be

active School Travel) is hoping for good participation from schools, too. “Travelling by bike to and from school is such a great option for students, yet so many families still drive often short distances for the school trip,” Mike Smith of HaSTEe bC said in a press release. “We’re hoping the Tricycle Challenge encourages more schools to register for bike to School Week this year, giving more
students the chance to get on their bikes and ride.”

PoCo church marks its 60th anniversary Sunday Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The congregation at Port Coquitlam’s Hope Lutheran Church will look back 60 years on Sunday. and it will have some familiar faces at its services to help with the anniversary celebrations. The morning communion at 10 a.m. will be lead by the Rev. andrew Craig, who grew up in the PoCo parish and is now a preacher at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Pincher Creek, alta. for the afternoon
worship at 3 p.m., former pastor Harry Ruf will return to the church to preach. and overseeing the festivities will be Laverne Hautz, the ninth pastor of the York Street church that was founded in 1955 by 19 charter members under the leadership of then pastor Carl baase. Today, the congregation boasts more than 550 members baptized and 400 confirmed members who hail from the Tri-Cities, Maple Ridge and Surrey — including a few from the original group. but while the church has
flourished over the years, so has its school, which has two campuses (the secondary school is run out of Riverside community church on Lougheed Highway). In february, the 20 teachers and 350 students in kindergarten to Grade 12 marked Hope Lutheran Christian school’s 20th year and reflected on its accomplishments within the church and the community, Hautz said. besides mission projects, the students have taken part in spring drives to collect more than 1,200 lb. of non-

Jeff nagel Lower Mainland municipalities are collectively demanding authority to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries even though vancouver is the only city so far actively trying to exert control. a resolution seeking acceptance of municipal authority passed a vote of the Lower Mainland Local Government association (LMLGa) last week, with Surrey delegates opposed. Pot storefronts have sprung up in several cities but have mostly been beaten back, except in vancouver, where city council is trying to regulate rather than stamp out the more than 80 local dispensaries. Surrey Coun. bruce Hayne, who sits on the LMLGa executive, said medical pot dispensaries are a non-issue in his city. “We don’t have any dispensaries in Surrey and we’re not looking at licensing any at all,” Hayne said. “If they do spring up they are illegal and we have the recourse to shut them down from there.” He said municipalities have been frustrated with the federal government’s medical marijuana policy, from the previous system that allowed problematic home grows to the new mail-order-only model of commercial producers that “seemed like a reasonable solution” but is now mired in court challenges. Surrey is policed by the RCMP but the story is similar across the river in New Westminster, where its municipal police force has also

Grade 8 students have also served meals to the homeless in Leigh Square during the winter. and for the first time, members of the school and church walked together last Saturday in the May day parade in PoCo. • The 60th anniversary celebration for Hope Lutheran Church (3151 York St.) includes an open house and tours of the church and school, starting at 1 p.m. Cake will be served at 4:30 p.m.

A resolution seeking acceptance of municipal authority over medical marijuana stores passed at the lower Mainland local Government Association (lMlGA) last week. taken a no-tolerance stand. New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said one dispensary tried to open — initially calling itself an information centre as it sought to clear various hurdles — but police raided it and the operators were charged with trafficking. vancouver’s policy aims to regulate locations and set a $30,000 licensing fee. federal Health Minister Rona ambrose has urged the city to shift course and shut down dispensaries, warning they send a signal to youth that drug use is normal. Puchmayr said he supports municipalities having the power to control dispensaries even though his city didn’t consider that viable. “our legal opinion in New Westminster was that it was quite clearly not a permissible use,” he said. “vancouver’s obviously interpreting it differently. and in doing so they’ve seen this proliferation in medical marijuana dispensaries and therefore they’re asking for some regulatory help from senior levels of government.”
loCAl issues
also discussed at the LMLGa were problems related to homelessness, housing affordability and mental health, which inspired several resolutions from councils in Maple Ridge, Langley, delta and the fraser valley
Regional district. Resolutions approved by LMLGa delegates included calls for higher rent subsidies for people on income assistance, more housing aid for mentally challenged adults, and that the federal government re-introduce tax incentives to build rental housing. Puchmayr and Hayne both said cities are facing higher costs as police time is spent dealing with the mentally ill, who aren’t getting the support they need from the health system. “We’re getting crushed and we simply can’t do it alone,” Hayne said. “We need a national strategy on homelessness, particularly on housing, and we need the provincial government to step up in a big way on mental health and addictions.” another resolution that passed in a close vote was Richmond’s call for b.C. to enact an environmental bill of rights giving each resident a right to a healthy environment, clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems. Hayne and many other delegates who opposed it felt it was outside municipal jurisdiction. Many of the resolutions go on to the provincial civic leaders’ forum — the union of bC Municipalities convention in the fall — in search of province-wide endorsement.

Our clothing footprint: Arriving: John Ford What is fair to wear? pens his final column LIVING GREEN
“As soon as ‘natural’ materials are mixed with synthetic ones, we create a problem.” – Melissa Chaun on fabrics that mix cotton with synthetics such as spandex
MELISSA CHAUN
I
have never had much time for fashion, preferring to create my own style from “hand-me-overs”, consignment treasures and the odd retail splurge. but recently, I have become aware that second in impact to our food footprint (the subject of next month’s column) is our textile footprint. Coinciding with Earth day last month was Eco fashion Week in vancouver, founded by Myriam Laroche in 2014 and the first of its kind worldwide. Metro vancouver hosted a panel discussion, featuring representatives across the textile industry’s lifecycle — from the design/retail, consignment, charity and reclamation sectors. (You can check out videos from this engaging and informative public forum at www.metrovancouver.org/ media-room.) Glencora Twigg, designer and co-founder of We3 designs, was one of the panelists. Her vancouver company only sells merchandise that meets at least one of three sustainability criteria: • made from sustainably manufactured fabrics (including dyes); • Canadian made; • and ethically produced. Since few designer lines satisfy all three, Glencora co-founded We3 with two partners. one of the complicating realities is our growing demand for stretchy — read: “comfortable” — fabrics. denim jeans are no longer 100% cotton but are consistently infused with Spandex; others, with elastane.
as soon as “natural” materials are mixed with synthetic ones, we create a problem. Whether we are talking textiles (clothing fabric, carpets, upholstery) or building materials (wood, concrete, steel), the mix of naturally occurring with artificially constructed makes for almost impossible recycling. What tends to occur, therefore, is known as “downcycling,” repurposing the material into a less valuable product with an even shorter lifespan. Pure reuse, therefore, is ideal. The outdoor apparel company Patagonia’s legacy of taking back its non-reparable products to remake into new clothing was, and still is, trailblazing. Its website lists the following “e-fabrics” of choice: recycled polyester, organic cotton, hemp, chlorine-free wool, recycled nylon and Tencel lyocell. I would also like to add flax (linen) to that list. Most of my summer linen separates were scooped up from consignment shops and my favourites are the skirts, cut on the bias (diagonal), providing not only natural stretch and comfort, but also a flattering look. unfortunately, the marketing industry has had us believe, for decades, that cotton is the “natural” option when, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Growing (industrial) cotton is pesticide-intensive, more so than any other crop,
subjecting both labourers and the ecosystem to toxic chemicals. Moreover, the textile dyes often used in our clothing are highly toxic and can be absorbed by the wearer over time. In late april, my pastor invited several individuals who have a passion for social justice to share some of their endeavours with us. one of the inspiring individuals, Kelly Warkentin, decided to put her curiosity and research skills to work by evaluating the retailers at Coquitlam Centre based on how sustainable their procurement policies appeared to be. (Check out her blog at livingjustly.blogspot.ca.) Social justice continues to be one of the most important issues we face. as overwhelming as it may seem, it is important, as individuals, to take the first step to a wiser choice. With growing awareness of the choices we can make, and knowing choice is a privilege that we need to exercise with care, please consider the following: • Promote reuse: Give to and purchase from consignment and charity shops. We are fortunate to have so many here in the Lower Mainland. You can have fun discovering your favourites. • Purchase with care: Read clothing labels for fabric content and country of origin, and ask retailers how their products are actually made, from start to finish. • Talk about it: A free market should come from free people. find out more at slaveryfootprint.org.

She volunteers on various city committees and is currently co-ordinating the monthly meetings for Tri-City Greendrinks. Her column runs monthly.

I’ll miss you and hope you miss me but please, don’t grieve too long. To Sharie, my best friend, wife, lover, caregiver, helpmeet, constant companion and single greatest source of joy in my life, I’ll be seeing you. but until then, seek out and take whatever happiness you can find because happy

To our sons Reaon and Liam, I know you will protect and care for your mother as I’ve always tried to do, and that you’ll give her the comfort she needs. but live your own lives in your own ways, as the very special men you are. Pride being one of the deadly sins, let me just say that I’m happy to think I had some part in your becoming what you are. Know that I loved you and cherished our time together.

No matter. for me this part of the journey is over. I’ve travelled hopefully and always claimed it was a better thing than arriving. Now we’ll see.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Back to the Future Six-storey wood frame construction comes of age… again
I
t’s been more than half a decade since British Columbia gave the green light for six-storey wood frame construction. Although the new building code raised plenty of eyebrows – and even some ire – when it was introduced in 2009, today an increasing number of developers are embracing the opportunities it creates. One early adopter was Adera, a Vancouver-based developer long known for its commitment to cutting-edge green building techniques. Adera’s Sail at UBC was the first true six-storey wood frame residence on campus. It was awarded gold for Best Low-Rise Residential in Vancouver/North Shore at the Urban Development Institute’s 2014 Awards for Excellence as well as Best Multi-Family Low-Rise Development in BC at the 2013 Georgie Awards. The company’s newest UBC project, Prodigy, is well under construction and sales are brisk.
More Bang for the Buck
So what’s the appeal of wood? For most homebuyers, a prime consideration is the affordability factor. “A six-storey concrete building will typically cost an additional $60 to $70 per square foot when compared to an equivalent suite in a wood-frame building — which can add up very quickly,” said Al Poettcker, CEO and president of UBC Properties Trust (UBCPT). “Wood frame is an excellent
way to gain 50 per cent more density without significantly changing the final cost to the buyer.” He added that wood frame buildings provide an interesting aesthetic benefit. “Six-storey wood frame buildings are not allowed to have any combustible materials on the façades,” he said. “So developers use materials such as brick, metal or fibre cement siding like HardiPlank. Often when people stand outside, they can’t tell it’s a wood frame building.”
Quiet Time
“Because the weight of two extra storeys requires more support, there is a lot more wood mass in a six-storey wood frame,” Poettcker said. “So these buildings tend to be quieter.” Taking this concept a step further, Adera’s newest six-storey wood frame – The Shore in North Vancouver’s Capilano neighbourhood – has introduced advanced acoustic technolog y to reduce sound transmission even more. “People often think a concrete building is quieter than wood frame,” said Eric Andreasen, Adera’s vice president of marketing and sales. “In fact, an independent sound engineer conducted field tests and confirmed this new system has made The Shore the highest performing wood frame building in the province – probably in Canada – equal to or even better than concrete.”
Safe and Sustainable
Michael Geller, architect, developer and well-known advocate for innovation in housing, acknowledges that when the legislation was first introduced, many had concerns about wood’s shrinkage over time. “People wondered if it would be exacerbated by adding two extra floors,” he says. “Now we’re seeing ever increasing use of prefab joists and laminated wood products, so it’s no longer an issue.” As a bonus, many of these products also reduce waste because they are made from young, renewable wood. And here’s something many consumers aren’t aware of – but should be. A five- or six-storey residential building is subject to stricter fire suppression regulations than a building of four storeys or less. “Fires rarely happen during con-
struction,” Poettcker stressed. “But developers have definitely responded with stricter protocols to deal with this outside possibility.”
Vision and Histor y
Geller said he’s thrilled with the rapidly increasing number of six-storey wood frame buildings now found throughout the Lower Mainland. “It is a testament to the legitimacy of this construction approach that Ontario has recently copied BC by allowing six-storey wood frame construction,” he said. “People have forgotten that many of Vancouver’s original buildings were six-storey, heavy timber construction – just walk through neighbourhoods like Gastown and you’ll see them still there. So you could say it’s like we’re going back to the future.”

Jr. adanacs forwards silence the thunder gary MCKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam Jr. adanacs runner brett Kujala almost doubled his goal total for the season when he potted five in a 12-7 win against the Langley Thunder Wednesday night. Kujala scored the first of the game on a power play, followed up with a second even strength goal, assisted on the third marker and scored his team’s fourth goal before Langley could even get on the board. Two more goals in the second and a couple more assists made it an eight point night for the 5’8”, 180 lb athlete, his best game so far in the young b.C. Jr. ‘a’ Lacrosse League season. Kujala teammate Chase McIntyre also had a strong game, potting two goals and four assists, while Cole Shafer had a six-point night, with one goal and five assists. Coquitlam gutted out their third win of the season 24hours earlier during a visit
with the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the queens Park arena. The home team secured a 3-1 lead early in the first period but two quick goals from McIntyre and Reid bowering toward the end of the opener knotted things at three goals each going into the first intermission. but New West was able to restore the three-goal lead quickly in the second with two markers from brandon Clelland and one from Connor Robinson. The back-and-forth match continued when the adanacs’ Shafer, Johnny Kraakman and Keegan Rittinger tied up the match with three unanswered tallies before the end of the third. In the final period, Coquitlam started to pull away from the bellies with goals from Evan Wortley, Reid bowering and Mike Rybka taking the game winner with two minutes left. When the final buzzer sounded, the adanacs were up 10-9.

HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY
ravens bound for provincial championship First trip to B.C. rugby tournamet in six years The Terry fox Ravens have locked up a berth in the aaa high school rugby provincial championships scheduled for later this month. The team punched their ticket to the b.C. tournament with a win over Semiahmoo secondary Tuesday night in a match to decide who would take 5th place. fox started strong and built up a healthy lead in the match, with a try from Taylor Poitras and two more from Sean Stewart, to give them team a 19-0 cushion. Semiahmoo began to press in the second half, but the Ravens continued to stay strong, with several key tackles to hold the Surrey team to just one score. The Ravens added some more insurance with 15 minutes left in the game when Poitras notched his second of the game to give his squad a 26-7 lead, a score that would hold until the end of the game. This is the first time that the Ravens have made the provincials since 2009 and just the second time in 17 years. “The boys played really hard, tackled very well and truly earned the victory for themselves,” said coach Jorge Knizek. “They have learned to physically impose themselves so that they can swing momentum in their favour.”
Knizek said that the team will now focus on bettering their 13th place showing that the club achieved in 2009. The first round of the provincials will take place on Saturday, May 23. Tuesday nights win ended a dominant week for the Terry fox, which made its way through the fraser valley playoffs. Last Thursday, the team took on Elgin Park, a squad the Ravens have struggled against in recent years. Jordan Seney got an early try, followed by Mike dupuis to put fox out front 10-0, however Elgin Park managed to cut the lead in half going into the second. Pedro vasquez scored for the Ravens early to make it 15-5, but two quick tries from the opponents tied the game. However, the Ravens were able to maintain their composure when Jericho Mendez grabbed the ball and carried it over the Elgin Park goal line for the winning score on the final whistle. Terry fox was also strong in the first round against Sardis secondary of Chilliwack. Isaiah Stevens scored the first try to make it 7-0 early in the match, however Sardis was able to quickly tie up the game. Stevens scored again with another Stewart conversion to restore the lead, which held until the end of the game. Isaac Evans was named man of the match. “It was tight, but a confidence building win for the boys,” said Knizek.
