WEATHER & THE ENVIRONMENT

Hot, dry weather is foul for fish Diane StranDBerG Tri-CiTy News

While many Tri-City residents are welcoming the unusually hot, sunny June, the fish aren’t so happy. Hundreds of salmon are being rescued in Hyde Creek this week as this spring’s warm conditions have dried up much of the urban creek that runs near Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam, killing some fish while hundreds of others are stranded in shallow pools. “There is no way for them to get out to the ocean,” said Terry Sawchenko, hatchery manager for the Hyde Creek Watershed Society, who, with other volunteers, spent much of the weekend moving fish from driedout parts of the creek bed to a pool near the PoCo hatchery. Part of the problem is the creek’s well, recently dug to enhance Hyde Creek water flows, is also drying up, discharging only a third of what it would normally produce because the aquifer hasn’t been recharged by rain.

WEATHER & THE ENVIRONMENT

Mid-summer weather hurts fish continued from front page

The result is coho smolts that would normally be heading out to the ocean are blocked from exiting and are stranded in shallow pools. And many have died despite volunteer efforts to relocate them to wetter parts of the creek. “We’ve lost thousands — literally thousands — of smolts because entire sections of the creek went dry. They were stacked like cordwood,” said Sawchenko. Other aquatic creatures are being relocated as well, such as trout, eels, crayfish and bullheads. “Anything that’s essentially living in the creek we are getting our hands on,” Sawchenko said, noting some are being located from shallow wet areas because the water has become warm and polluted. The dry spring is unusual, according to local stream stewards, and while some creeks still have water flows, the longer term picture of creek flows and fish viability is a concern. “It’s definitely low-flow conditions to the stream, with water temperatures, as well, similar to what you’d see in the

Port Moody creeks are also seeing lower flows but fewer problems with fish. Still, Noons

Creek Hatchery volunteers are worried about the water flow into the pool where their coho fry are fattening up for release next spring. They hiked up to Cypress Lake on the weekend to inspect valves in a dam spill-

way that could release more water but it was damaged. The group is trying to figure out how to get the valve fixed but are not too worried about water right now because the lakes and marshes that make

up the Noons Creek watershed are still all wet and healthy. Hyde Creek’s Sawchenko is hoping for a little rain, even if it dampens the spirits of summer vacationers. “We desperately need three

or four days of good rain to bring it [creek flows] back up again,” he said. Metro Vancouver sprinkling regulations are also in place from now until Sept. 30 to conserve water. Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 4 to 9 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays while odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle the same times on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

BEARS IN COQUITLAM

Conflicts down – is Coquitlam ‘Bear Smart’? Gary McKenna

BEAR STATS IN COQUITLAM

The Tri-CiTy News

The number of humanwildlife conflicts has declined in Coquitlam and city staff say they will apply to the Ministry of Environment for Bear Smart status. If successful, Coquitlam would be the first city in the Lower Mainland to receive the designation and only one of six municipalities in B.C., joining Kamloops, Whistler, Lions Bay, Squamish and Port Alberni. According to a staff report, the number of calls to the provincial Conservation Officer Service (COS) to report nuisance bears dropped to 1,195 in 2014, down from 1,565 the year before. Four bears were destroyed last year — three fewer than 2013 — and eight were relocated. “It is expected that human-

become familiar with the city’s urban wildlife initiatives,” said a staff report. The document noted the city’s outreach effort, saying

numerous public education events were held and door-todoor meetings took place at more than 800 homes. Staff also stepped up enforcement of people who aren’t complying with the city’s solid waste bylaw. A total of 642

warnings were sent to residents who had unsecured garbage and staff said changes to the regulations are expected in 2016 to improve enforceability. The city of Coquitlam also received a large number of calls concerning bears.

Close to 250 calls were related to bears, making up 69% of the total. Raccoons were the second highest, with 52 calls (14.5%), while coyotes were the third highest, with 27 calls (7.5%). Ten people called about skunks (2.8%) while eight called about cougars/bobcats (2.2%). Most of the calls were concentrated in neighbourhoods on the northern periphery of the city, including Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau. But a city map tracking the calls showed bears were spotted as far away as Mackin Park in Maillardville and south of Lougheed Highway. There were also 93 pestrelated calls to the city in 2014, with rodents topping the list with 71 (76.3%) while birds and crows were second with 10 calls (10.8%). gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Police didn’t know whether a shooting early Tuesday morning in the 3000-block of Cambridge on Port Coquitlam’s north side was targeted. The victim, a man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

CRIME IN THE TRI-CITIES

Man shot Tues. a.m. in Port Coquitlam Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP are investigating after a man was shot in Port Coquitlam early Tuesday morning. Police were called just after 5 a.m. and located the man near the 3000-block of Cambridge Street, between Coquitlam and Fraser avenues, behind the cedar hedge of a home.

A woman living in the apartment building across the street said she didn’t hear gunshots but her husband heard somebody calling for help and assumed it was a person rummaging in the dumpster near their building. When he went out on the balcony to check, he saw a resident of the home where the man was found come out to assist him.

The victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries but police said it was too early in the investigation to know whether the shooting was targeted. Witnesses and anyone with information about the incident are asked to call police at 604945-1550 and quote file number 2015-19163. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Fire razes house under construction Sarah Payne

Fire last Friday was ‘suspicious’

The Tri-CiTy News

A fire Saturday at a house under construction in Coquitlam has forced the residents on either side out of their homes and caused damage to several other houses in the area. The fire at 930 Porter St. was fully involved when firefighters showed up shortly after receiving the call at about 6:45 p.m., said Coquitlam Fire Chief Wade Pierlot. The homes and a detached garage on either side of the unfinished house also caught fire, and several cars suffered heat damage. Pierlot said the two families, one with young children and the other a 90-year-old man who’d lived in the home for 40 years, will be out of their homes for some time. The cause of the blaze is being investigated and is being treated as suspicious. “It’s under construction and it didn’t have a lot of the regular services hooked up. The building trades weren’t working in it that day and it’s subject to a lot of passers-by,” Pierlot said, adding the force of the blaze demonstrates the fire risk of buildings under construction because of the intense heat they throw off. A woman living next to one of the damaged homes said her family was having dinner with guests when they heard a loud bang, followed closely by a neighbour banging on their door to tell them the house next door was on fire. “Stepping on to the driveway, you could just feel this extreme wall of heat,” said Kate, who asked that her last name not be used. She and her husband quickly moved their vehicles down the street, grabbed their pets and got out of the home. The fire scorched bushes in their front yard and, like several surrounding neighbours, their roof was damaged by cinders

A fire that destroyed a house under construction on Porter Street also damaged neighbours’ homes and vehicles. blown from the towering flames. Developer Louie Erlic said he has been building for about 20 years and this was one of the biggest homes he has worked on. “It’s a beautiful home — the design, the architecture, there was a lot of detail,” he said at the scene Monday. What should have been a 6,800-sq. ft. house — somebody’s “dream home,” Erlic said — was now nothing more than a charred pile of rubble. The windows were due to be installed this week, after which the home would have been locked up, Erlic said, adding the plumbing and heating were done but the electrical work had yet to be finished. The house was on the market but Erlic said he and his wife planned to move into it if it didn’t sell. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Coquitlam Fire and Rescue is investigating a suspicious blaze last Friday that broke out at a home on Cultus Court. Crews arrived on scene shortly after 4:30 a.m. on June 12 for what appeared to be a fully involved structure fire. But Fire Chief Wade Pierlot told The Tri-City News that it turned out that the flames were likely coming from outside of the garage and going up the front of the home. “The fire appeared to be on the outside,” he said. “That make it a little more suspicious than something that starts on the inside.” A mother and two children were able to escape without injury and called 911. Pierlot said one of the residents may have smelled smoke outside at around 8 p.m. the night before but could not find the source of the smell. Pierlot said crews were able to work quickly to stop the blaze and avoid any further damage to the home, which he expects could be re-occupied shortly. “It was a good stop by our guys,” he said. “A few more minutes and it could have gained a lot more of a footing inside the home itself.”

ALLAN SCHOENBORN

Prov. won’t appeal but will work for a high-risk ruling Schoenborn is still a threat and has anger issues Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

The provincial government will not appeal a BC Review Board decision to grant child killer Allan Schoenborn escorted day passes into the community despite appeals from the family of the victims. During a conference call with reporters last Friday, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said senior prosecutors with the Criminal Justice Branch could not find any legal test to support an appeal. “I have canvassed them at length,” she said. “They have concluded there is no reasonable basis for an appeal… None of us is terribly happy about this.” But Anton said prosecutors will be looking at whether it’s possible to seek a high-risk designation for Schoenborn under Bill C-14. Anton said she would be speaking with federal Justice Minister Peter McKay to see if the legislation would apply. The legislation, passed last year, is intended to keep offenders deemed not criminally responsible in custody until a court removes the designation. Anton said the province was supportive of the Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act when it was introduced and even contributed to it. Darcie Clarke, the mother of the three victims, said she was disappointed with the province’s decision. “We thought the B.C. government was our partner in this

“We thought the B.C. government was our partner in this fight. Today’s decision shows they are willing to pay victims lip service but not back it up with their administrative nor legal power.”

MARY NESS PHOTO

Stacy Galt, cousin of Darcie Clarke, speaks to reporters last Friday at Leigh Square in Port Coquitlam after it was announced that the provincial government would not appeal a BC Review Board decision to allow Allan Schoenborn escorted day passes from the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam. Schoenborn killed his and Clarke’s three children and was found not criminally responsible.

Part of Darcie Clarke’s statement about the provincial government’s decision to not appeal the BC Review Board ruling on Allan Schoenborn fight,” she said in a statement that was read by supporter Dave Teixeira at a press conference last Friday at Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square. “Today’s decision shows they are willing to pay victims lip service but not back it up with their administrative nor legal power.” Earlier this month, Schoenborn was granted escorted day passes into the community. The three-member BC Review Board panel made the decision after more than a month of deliberation. The 47-year-old has been a patient at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital since 2010, when he was found not criminally responsible for the murders his three young children, Kaitlynne, Max and Cordon, in Merritt in 2008. Stacy Galt, Clarke’s cousin, said Clarke lives ten minutes away from the hospital and the family is terrified they might run into Schoenborn when he is out in the community. “I cannot bear the thought of walking down the street and seeing him,” she said. “He’s not the same. He doesn’t look the same.” Both the hospital director and psychiatrist supported escorted day passes for

Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project

Schoenborn, saying they would benefit his rehabilitation. During a hearing in April, Schoenborn promised the review board he would not try to escape if he was allowed into the community. He said that would try to control his anger if someone called him a “child killer.” At the time, his case worker confirmed he has anger management issues. The hospital’s lawyer said he still poses a significant threat to the community and that he has been involved in 11 incident of verbal or physical aggression in the past year. In one incident, Schoenborn reportedly chased a patient around a dining room table and shoved him “moderately.” The B.C. Review Board found that Schoenborn suffers from a delusional disorder, paranoia and substance abuse issues. His hospital physician says psychiatric medication has eased the symptoms for the former two conditions and, under treatment, “there has been no evidence of delusions, hallucinations, paranoid thoughts [and] homicidal/suicidal ideation.”

OUR OPINION

Talking & collaborating T

wo public meetings on controversial topics and a third planned for Tuesday night show the value of openness even if it means grievances are aired and gaffes revealed. Public meetings are all too often scripted so officials don’t get an earful and politicians are protected from scrutiny. but that is not the case with a recent Renewing Riverview open house and two public school board meetings, one on the budget surplus and another on burke Mountain schools. The Riverview open house brought out a lively crowd, with participants lining up at the microphone to speak passionately about saving the 102-year-old site as a mental health campus. Some people vented angry feelings, others were skeptical about the site planning process but, overall, the discussion was worth it and it appeared that

all participants learned something from one another. also last week, the board of education chose to discuss what to do with a $2.5-million budget surplus in a public forum. although the meeting got bogged down in confusion and Roberts’ Rules of order on the order of motions, and some trustees

didn’t always understand the finance department numbers, overall, the effort was well-intentioned, with more information shared than otherwise might be the case. finally, the board has also agreed to hold a public meeting on the future of burke Mountain schools, a meeting that was to take place after The Tri-City

News’ deadline for the Wednesday print edition. We can only speculate but it’s likely this was another spirited meeting with many parents clamouring for more information about school construction in this fast-growing area. Indeed, plenty of effort has gone into making parents aware of this meeting, so it was likely to be well-attended. When it comes to land issues, governments are hesitant to reveal much because doing so can lead to land speculation and price increases but parents deserve to know why a school isn’t being built now to handle an influx of elementary school students. The beauty of all this public discussion is that people get heard, points of view are shared and information is disseminated — from every angle — and with greater openness comes a potential for trust, greater co-operation and collaboration.

YOU SAY on RIVERVIEW “The province delayed and delayed making a decision about the use of Riverview lands because, far from wanting additional public services and environmental protections, it wants development to be a cash-cow for feeding tax breaks to LnG multinationals. in so doing, they allowed the lands to deteriorate. So, now they stipulate that any proposed use of these lands has to pay for the restorations they made necessary though their deliberate inaction.” Ron Peters, commenting on a story at tricitynews.com on discussions about the future of Riverview

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Harper gov’t ill-informed and shortsighted on pot The Editor, I, too, share the outrage of federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose concerning the Supreme Court allowing marijuana derivatives to be used for medical purposes. This decision was made to accommodate children being prescribed medical marijuana. In my way of thinking, if these prepubescents can’t spark up a doobie like the rest of the potheads, they have no right to be using it in the first place. And everyone seems to be ignoring a glaring side effect of this marijuana use by these children. I don’t know which U.S. president funded it, but a scientific paper that was released in the late 1960s outlined a serious consequence of marijuana use. This report stated unequivocally that marijuana is a gateway drug and there is a 100% chance, or better, that children dabbling with marijuana will become heroin addicts. So what do we

Confusion reigns over ‘surplus’ talks The Editor, Re. “Trustees vote to spend surplus over three years” (The Tri-City News, June 12). From reading the referenced article, it seems a common theme at the school board meeting about the surplus is confusion. Confusion about the numbers, confusion about what a surplus is, confusion about how the surplus should be spent — it seemed to be one confusing meeting. There is no doubt there are always rigorous debates about how the “surplus” should be spent. Different stakeholders (e.g., superintendent, trustees, parents, teachers) have different reasons thinking the “surplus”

laws governing it. And he has absolutely no compassion for people, especially the children, whose quality of life has been significantly improved by marijuana. This isn’t even anecdotal evidence but literally hundreds of cases related by patients and the parents of the younger children. Prime Minister Harper keeps maintaining that Health Canada hasn’t the available evidence to show that marijuana is a medically viable alternative to pharmaceuticals. And do you know why it doesn’t have the evidence? He won’t fund research because he knows it will completely contradict his theories and hypotheses regarding marijuana. There is an election coming soon. I think this short-sighted autocrat has been PM for much too long. We need fresh ideas and a modern, rational way of running our country. New blood is sorely needed. Neil Swanson, Coquitlam

should be spent their ways, and that’s OK. But one thing that cannot be confused is what a surplus is and if it actually exists. Is a “forecasted surplus” (money expected to be in the pockets but may not be) actually a surplus? Does the school board have authority to spend on a forecasted surplus and, if not, is it really a surplus? If the stakeholders cannot first agree what a surplus is or if there is a surplus, what is the idea of debating how the surplus should be spent? Let’s first define what a surplus is, then talk about how the surplus should be spent. Perhaps this may bring some order to the confusion. H.M.S. Leung, Coquitlam

COQUITLAM

Coquitlam will expand WiFi in city’s parks Gary MCKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam is looking at expanding its wireless internet network to make the service available in some parks. According to a staff report, the city will take $50,000 from gas tax money it receives from the province to pay for the initiative, which is expected to be completed this year. Currently, WiFi is available at all indoor facilities and at Spirit Square, which is across the street from city hall. But

last December, Coquitlam’s information and communication technology manager, Rick Adams, told council staff would start expanding the network to include parks, starting with Town Centre Park. “We want to have WiFi there for our 125th [birthday] celebrations and the [BC] Seniors’ Games,” he said at the time. Cities receive an annual allotment from the gas tax fund, which is controlled by the Union of BC Municipalities. This year, Coquitlam will receive $400,000 from the program, which will go toward a

variety of projects, including: • park maintenance ($250,000); • operations and safety improvements ($70,000); • way-finding implementation ($15,000); • and bicycle facilities upgrades ($15,000). Last year, portions of the gas tax allotment were used to upgrade the playground at Alouette Park ($100,000) and to resurface the spray park at Blue Mountain Park ($100,000). gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

COQUITLAM SURVEY

Transportation is No. 1 by big margin in latest city survey Gary McKeNNa The Tri-CiTy News

Transportation is the top issue for Coquitlam residents, according to a recent city poll. According to the report from Ipsos-Reid, 39% of survey respondents listed transportation as their number one concern, putting crime and taxes — which both received 11% — in a distant second on their priority list. “Transportation has consistently been the leading top-ofmind issue in Coquitlam and this year’s results are not significantly different from 2013,” stated the Ipsos-Reid report to city council. “Normative comparisons show that while it is common for transportation to top the public issue agenda (particularly in the Lower Mainland), transportationrelated mentions in Coquitlam are still higher than average.” But those respondents who listed transportation as their top concern were divided over what aspect of the subject is most problematic. Eleven per cent said transportation in general was the most important local issue while the same percentage listed public transit as the key topic and 9% listed traffic congestion. The condition of roads was mentioned by 6% of respondents while 3% said the Evergreen Line was the most important local issue; 1% said it was parking. When asked about transportation priorities, 89% said upgrading the condition of

“Citizens would rather pay increased taxes than see services cut. When given a choice between increased taxes or service cuts, just over half choose increased taxes while one-third opt for service cuts.”

Coquitlam survey report from Ipsos-Reid roads through repaving was very important or somewhat important while 86% said improving pedestrian facilities, like sidewalks and trails, was either very important or somewhat important; promoting public transit service for local and regional trips was said to be either very important or somewhat important by 86% of respondents. The survey found that older residents tended to mention transportation more than younger ones, with 48% of respondents aged 55 or older. The other 40% were between the age of 35 and 54 while 28% were between 18-34. Ipsos-Reid conducted 501 telephone interviews with Coquitlam residents 18 years or older. In the northeast part of the city, 66 people were interviewed while 78 interviews were conducted with Westwood Plateau residents, 103 in the City Centre, 128 in central Coquitlam and 126 in west Coquitlam. Of those respondents who listed crime as their number one concern, 36% noted that theft was their top personal

safety issue while 10% said drugs and 6% said unsafe driving. Only 4% listed vandalism as an issue, the same percentage as gangs. Overall, 98% of Coquitlam residents listed their quality of life as good or very good, which is on par with a similar survey conducted in 2013. Most residents (86%) said they were satisfied with the city’s service delivery and believe they receive good value for their tax dollars. “Citizens would rather pay increased taxes than see services cut,” said the survey report. “When given a choice between increased taxes or service cuts, just over half choose increased taxes while one-third opt for service cuts. “Analysis of year-over-year tracking data shows that while residents have been split on this issue in recent surveys, this year’s results are much clearer in direction.” The city of Coquitlam said the survey information will be used to guide staff and council’s decisions. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Since the Coquitlam Public Library book bus fire in spring 2014, CPL has been renting a U-Haul truck to bring library services to neighbourhoods. area but the service will increase from two and a half days a week to four and a half, and Library Link will go to more places, including special events and festivals. One of the places the renovated vehicle will likely go is Riverview Hospital, where some mental health services are still provided, and the vehicle will be used to connect seniors, people with disabilities and Canadian newcomers who don’t typically use library services or have difficulty accessing them. As well, the mobile library

will be a one-stop shop for information such as how to get a job and how to vote as the library seeks to expand its mandate beyond lending books. “Many of these people are new to our city and don’t get to the library,” Trumley said. “How do we get out and market to them?” Gnissios said the new vehicle, a Ford F450 adapted for library use, was purchased from a library in Washington Sate, and with renovation and upgrades, will cost between $60,000 and $65,000 to complete. He and Trumley last week

Coquitlam Public Library will be expanding the route and purpose of its book bus, changing the name to Library Link, equipping it with WiFi and sending it to more neighbourhoods when work on it is complete early this summer. “It’s going to be more of a multimedia type of facility,” said CPL director Todd Gnissios. The high-tech mobile library will allow people to check out books, DVDs and other materials, watch videos and connect to the internet, and there will be loud speakers to broadcast music and information. “It’s pretty exciting,” said library board chair Jack Trumley, who said that the new Library Link is a step up from the old book bus that was damaged in a fire last spring. Since the fire, CPL has been renting a U-Haul truck to bring library services to Burke Mountain and the Cottonwood

• Increases Skin Elasticity • Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

Roving Entertainment

Zox of the Forest

is a mystical character raised in a forest. Once upon a time, a grizzly bear found a little baby shivering in a hollow tree and kept him warm with her fur coat. She then took him back to her cave and adopted him as one of her bear cubs. She named him Zox and taught him that the forest is a magical place where animals spoke and if you listened they would become your friends and teachers. Zox listened to his Mama and played with his forest friends and learned the secrets of the forest.

TRI-CITY LIBRARIES

Hot middle years books for a hot summer A GOOD READ MARYN ASHDOWN

ummer is coming — soon — and local libraries are ready with some outstanding picks for middle graders. Kids in Grades 5 to 9 will find lots of variety, with genres ranging from post-apocalyptic science fiction to graphic drama to slapstick humour. Ask your local librarian for help finding a book that’s perfect for every reader. Climate change is real but the scientists were wrong. Turns out the world will end not with fire but with ice. In Eleanor’s nearfuture world in The Arctic Code by Matthew J. Kirby, glaciers are encroaching on civilization and squeezing humanity towards the equator in an ever-narrowing band of warmth. Eleanor is one of the lucky ones. She lives in a house in Florida in one of the few habitable U.S. cities. Millions are trapped in desperate conditions, with many more at risk. Eleanor’s mom is a scientist, working hard to find new sources of energy that will allow humanity to find some way

to survive, but her work takes a sinister turn when Eleanor suddenly receives a cryptic text full of geospatial codes and classified information from the biggest energy company on the planet. When her mom disappears, it’s up to Eleanor to solve the mystery of her unearthly discovery and reveal the clues to the deep freeze that’s threatening the planet. The Arctic Code is a breathless science-fiction read for kids in Grades 5 to 9. Fans of Big Nate and Diary of a Wimpy Kid will love The Terrible Two, written by best-

friend duo Mac Barnett and Jory John. Miles Murphy has been known as the pranking master at his school for years. His reputation is put to the test, however, when he changes schools and finds out that his new academy already has a practical joke jedi in residence. Miles can’t stand to be second best and he’s determined to up his game to prove that he alone is the king of pranks at his new school. The tricks are flying fast but nobody’s a clear winner until Miles and the mystery kid decide to join forces to pull off the biggest

practical joke their town has ever seen. Hilarious and brightly written, with The Terrible Two has broad age appeal. Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson is a smart, tough graphic novel about evolving friendships and growing up. Twelve-year-old Astrid’s heart lights up when she sees roller derby for the first time. The costumes! The speed! Astrid is an adventurous spirit and she’s more than sure she wants to dive into the heady subculture of derby. Just one problem: Astrid’s best friend Nicole isn’t interested. Instead of roller derby summer camp, Nicole signs up for ballet camp — with Astrid’s nemesis, Rachel. Betrayal!

Despair! Rage! Revenge! Astrid is hurt and furious at Nicole’s decision but she’s forced to think carefully about what it means to be a friend. In the end, she comes to understand that Nicole has her own passions and interests, and that friendship means more than loving all the same things — it also means respecting differences. Meet Nate Harlow, the unluckiest boy in Paradise Beach, Florida. Getting hit by lightning — on his birthday! — seems like the capper on a lifetime of bad luck, except that Nate miraculously survives thanks to the quick wits of his best friend, logic-loving brainiac Gen. Suddenly, Nate’s luck has

Best for Women

turned: He goes from bully bait to hometown sports hero, and everything he has a hand in seems like a surefire success. Nate’s turn of luck makes him so popular that he ditches his lifelong best friend in order to enjoy his newfound status. But somehow, all the luck in the world can’t make him feel right about losing Gen’s friendship. Lucky Strike by Bobby Pyron is a thoughtful tale of friendship and fortitude. You’ll find these great books and many more recommendations at your local public library. A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays.

BEST DAD

KMS

It’s the same story every year: on Father’s Day, what on earth do you give to a man who already has everything he needs? The key to the perfect gift is to buy something that your father would like to have, but probably wouldn’t buy for himself; it has to be something that would be a real treat for him. Here are a few tips.

– the Saturday before Father’s Day –

THE HANDYMAN DAD If your father loves working with his hands, ask questions about his most recent projects and pay attention to what he says. He may mention a tool or gadget that would have been useful, but that he doesn’t have. This could be the perfect opportunity!

THE EPICUREAN DAD Does your father enjoy a delicious meal and a good bottle of wine? Of course, treating him to a bottle of his favourite drink or a restaurant meal is always a safe bet, but maybe you should try to be more original this year by focusing on useful and fun accessories. For example, instead of giving him his usual shortlived bottle of whiskey, you could opt for a beautiful set of whiskey stones to cool his favourite libation. You know your father best, whether he’s sporty, fashion conscious or an avid reader. Whatever his interests are, the important thing is to give him a gift that shows you’ve thought about him; after all, that’s what really counts.

THE TECHIE DAD Technology fans usually have very definite preferences when it comes to their devices and tend to buy for themselves the most current models. In other words, it’s risky to give the latest gadget as a gift. Instead, think about something unusual, along the lines of a Bluetooth speaker for the shower that he can connect to his smart phone!

MUSIC

Drummond’s time to shine Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Our Time is Now is the first single to be released from Greg Drummond’s new album, Drive. But, truth be told, the title rings true for the Port Moody secondary graduate’s life as well. The Anmore resident took four years to craft his second LP following the release of his debut CD Walking Man. He admits he spent more time writing and recording than he wanted “but that’s what happens when you start writing for grants,” he during a phone interview last week. “I wanted to do it right.” He got the funding behind his work. Last May, a $25,000 grant from Factor (Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on

Recordings) Canada came through, which allowed him to record at Monarch Studios and work with producer Ryan Worsley of Echoplant Studios. He also hosted a fundraising concert at the Inlet Theatre and launched a $10,000 campaign through Indiegogo.com to help pay for the costs of album printing, marketing, touring, a radio tracker and music video. And when it came time to hire a music managing company, Drummond got a job. Right now, on the brink of his western Canadian tour to promote Drive, Drummond said money is flowing in and out of his bank account at an alarming pace. “It’s amazing,” he said. “We’ve got vinyls coming and that costs more than my van. It’s so crazy. But you really do need money to get the word out there.”

Drive DATes

June 18: Victoria June 19: Nanaimo June 20: Saltspring Island June 26: Port Moody June 27: Kelowna June 28: Penticton June 30: Kelowna July 1: Salmon Arm

Drive is a compilation of 11 original tracks by Drummond, who in 2012 won the Best of BC Song Contest — and a tidy $10,000 cheque — from the Shore 104.3 FM and, a year later, made it to the Top 20 of the Peak Performance Project radio contest. Compared with Walking Man, Drive is more eclectic and has different tones. There’s

July 3: Kamloops July 4: Revelstoke July 5: Golden July 6: Banff July 9: Red Deer July 10: Edmonton July 11: Lethbridge July 14 and 15: Saskatoon July 16: Moose Jaw July 17: Calgary an upbeat, folk-rock “southern” feel with a horn section. Besides Monarch, Drummond worked on it in his and Worsley’s studios as well as in more intimate places such as his family cabin on Gambier Island, his parents’ garage and in a closet. “As much as we do have money behind this project, at the end of the day, you still have to record in your

bedroom closet to make things happen,” he laughed, “but it gives it cooler and unique sounds.” Playing with him on Drive are his “Swiss Army knife” of a musician Michael Lothian (piano, according, trumpet) plus Alanna Pearce (drums) — a Terry Fox secondary graduate who was part of Steve Sainas’ Rock School program — and Mike Meroniuk (electric guitar) and Marcus Abramzik (bass), graduates of the Capilano University jazz music program. Starting tomorrow (Thursday), they’ll begin their Drive tour in Victoria and stop in Port Moody on June 26 for an all-ages CD release show before winding up in Calgary on July 17 (they’ll play Salmon Arm on Canada Day). see staying, page 29

A Coquitlam amateur theatre company is calling for thespians for its next season.

Their summer will be filled with B.C. festivals and, in the fall, the band will push the album across Canada. The nationwide tour will give them a good indication of what’s next, Drummond said. He also hopes to spread Our Time is Now mainly via college radio and social media. With the album now out, Drummond reflected on his biggest challenge. “Just staying motivated when you’re in a band and travelling with no A/C and so cramped in one space can be difficult,” he said. “That’s touring life but it is what it is. The most important thing is staying confident with yourself because you are your own worst critic. If you’re not confident on stage, you’re going to lose it pretty quickly. You’re going to lose that momentum.” He added, “You need to have fun and don’t take yourself so seriously. Some people will like it, some people won’t but hopefully we can turn some heads. Even if I can take one person out of a crowd who says, ‘Wow, that was the best concert ever’ then my time is done.” • Tickets for the Drive CD release party on June 26 at Inlet

COQUITLAM

Basi returns to city hall as the new cultural manager Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Karen Basi is back on home turf, ready to take the lead on Coquitlam’s arts and culture scene. Basi, the city’s former manager of emergency programs, started in the newly created position June 1. And, after only 10 days of the job, she tells The Tri-City News she’s already got a long list on the go. “It’s an exciting time to be in Coquitlam,” she said during an interview at city hall last week. Over her 20-plus years in municipal government, Basi has split her time between the arts and emergency services for Burnaby and Coquitlam. Most recently, she was

Burnaby’s manager of development and promotion, which included co-ordinating the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival. Two decades prior, Basi was part of the team that helped with the capital campaign to build the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. As Coquitlam’s cultural steward, Basi will be responsible for next year’s 125th anniversary celebrations and be the city liaison for cultural groups such as the Evergreen Cultural Centre, Place Maillardville, Place des Arts and the Coquitlam Public Library. As well, she will oversee the city’s public art policy. Her most immediate focus, however, is developing the new arts, culture and heritage

strategic plan for the city — a framework that builds on the draft master parks and recreation plan that was presented last year. That strategic plan is due to be finished this year. A graduate of Centennial secondary and SFU, Basi said her biggest challenge will be how to meet the city’s needs and demands. “One of the great things about Coquitlam is that it’s a growing community,” the Port Coquitlam resident said. “The challenge is how to co-ordinte the service delivery.” Basi said she also hopes to link in with civic arts co-ordinators in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, where strategic arts plans are also in the works. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

The Coquitlam Sr. Adanacs vaulted up the standings with a pair of wins last weekend, beating up on the Western Lacrosse Association’s two worst clubs. The schedule favored the A’s this week, with the home team taking down the fledgling Burnaby Lakers on Saturday, before notching a

the score to within one. But the Adanacs kept up the pressure, adding an insurance marker from the stick of Carson Barton, before scoring three unanswered tallies in the final half of the game to win 7-3. Johnson finished up the match with a hat trick, while Brendon Anger had one goal and two helpers. Dan Lewis had a strong night for the Adanacs in net, turning away 48 of the 51 shots he faced in the match for an impressive 0.941 save percentage. Johnson kept up his scoring touch the next day when the

team travelled to the Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo. The 24-year-old runner potted the first two in the match and ended the night with another hat trick, his second of the weekend. But despite Coquitlam’s 4-0 lead in the first period, the Nanaimo Timbermen were able to keep things close. Slowly but surely the chipped away at the A’s lead until the scoreboard was separated by two tallies at the beginning of the final frame. However, the Adanacs were able to regain the momentum when Anger scored in the third and Johnson picked up

The Coquitlam Reds are slowly making their way up the Premier Baseball League standings after going threefor-four last weekend. The club split a doubleheader with the thirdplace Victoria Eagles on Saturday before sweeping both games against the Parksville Royals on Sunday, including a game that the home team won with a nine-run inning. Coquitlam will return to the field with a road game this weekend against the Cardinals. ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO

Reds rack up wins at Mundy GaRy McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Reds went three-for-four at Mundy Park last weekend, improving their B.C. Premier Baseball League season record to 12-20. Coquitlam eked out a 5-4 victory in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday against the third place Victoria Eagles, with Kole Bernard getting the win on the mound. But the team struggled in the second match, falling to the Eagles 7-3 when the visiting team’s offence came alive for most of the game.

The Reds looked even stronger on Sunday when the team hosted the Parksville Royals. The visitors were shut out in the first game, which the Reds won 2-0 with Jacob Doyle on the mound, before a decisive 9-4 victory that saw the Reds score all of their runs in the fifth inning. The win was the most lopsided victory the Reds have seen all season and Sam Lantela got the win on the mound. Coquitlam does not play again until Saturday, when they will travel to Delair Park to take on the Cardinals in a doubleheader.

TONKIN, Ralph Kelvin March 23, 1931 - June 9, 2015 Ralph passed away peacefully after a long, courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis. He leaves behind his wife Phyllis (nee Roser) of 61 years, his daughter Karen (George), and his sons Robert and Douglas (Pauline). He was the adored grandfather of Michael, Kevin, Crystal, Nicolas, Travis, Ryan, Samantha and great-grandfather to Kyleigh. Born in Maple Grove, Ontario, the family moved to B.C. in 1965 for him to pursue a career in banking. He moved through the ranks to the position of general manager, a career which spanned over 30 years. As he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow down, he worked at various jobs into his early seventies. In his retirement years he enjoyed traveling with his wife, highlights which included trips to Israel, Bali, Alaska and England. Most of all he passionately enjoyed spending time at home with his family which often included having a deck of cards in his hands. With his quick wit and a handful of jelly beans or other candy, he would tease his grandchildren that John Denver was the best singer ever. He was loved by all who met him, was a great friend to many and a strong influence to his family. We are very grateful to Fraser Health and Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody for the dedicated care they provided. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation

to the charity of your choice. A service will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on June 20, 2015 at 11:00 am, 3345 Robson Dr., Coquitlam. Interment at Ocean View Cemetery in Burnaby.
