PM mother dead, father charged Neighbours helped 5 children get out of burning home SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A Port Moody mother of six is dead after an apparent domestic dispute and house fire Sunday afternoon and her husband has been charged with seconddegree murder — leaving their children, five of whom were at home at the time of the incident and narrowly escaped by clambering out of the second-floor window, without their parents. Neighbours of the family on Dewdney Trunk Road recalled a terrifying scene as the incident quickly unfolded shortly before 1:30 p.m. “The fire was roaring pretty good and the windows started blowing out,” said Carol Atkins, who ran across the street when she heard the sirens stop just outside her townhouse complex. She didn’t know the family but exchanged hellos when

walking by and described them as friendly. A resident of the trailer park about a block away said he’d also chatted briefly with the couple and had spoken to the man about an hour before the fire broke out. He was walking back past the house when the windows started “popping and cracking. It was just awful,” he said. Other residents of the area agreed the family generally kept to themselves; two reported seeing police at the home before but couldn’t say when. Port Moody Police were called to the home just before 1:30 p.m. to respond to a domestic dispute in progress but officers arrived to find the home engulfed in flames, with two adults still inside. Officers acted quickly to retrieve the occupants and located a woman suffering from extensive burns. She was immediately taken to hospital but succumbed to her injuries just after 6 p.m. Sunday. see NEIGHBOURS, page 4

STEVE SMITH PHOTOS

These critters are neighbours of many Tri-City residents as wildlife has adapted to urbanization. PoCo Heritage and Cultural Society is looking for the public to contribute high-quality digital photographs or short videos that show animals as part of the urban environment. The exhibit, which will be titled “(Un)Natural Selection,” will run from September to December in the PoCo Heritage museum at Leigh Square.

POCO HERITAGE SOCIETY

Focus on wildlife for PoCo Heritage exhibit Animals in urban environment are subject of show DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Coyotes, raccoons and bears, oh my. That doctored quote from The Wizard of Oz describes the experience of many Tri-City

residents who live beside green belts and regularly see wildlife in their neighbourhood. And now, Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society, which operates the city’s museum, is looking for photos and videos that capture urban wildlife for a new natural history exhibit. Steve Smith, who is organizing the 2016 Carol Hubbard Memorial Natural History Exhibit, said the idea is to re-

veal the different ways wildlife has adapted to human habitation. “Overall, it’s not a good news story for the animals. We don’t want to focus too much on the negative aspect. We want to strike a balance: What has been the impact and what animals have seemingly benefited?” said Smith, a photographer, noting that coyotes, for example, were unheard of in PoCo until the arrival of farms

and agriculture. The name of the exhibit, to open in September, is “(Un) Natural Selection: Adapting to an Urban Environment.” “It’s a play on [Charles] Darwin but instead of natural selection, it’s overall looking at the impact of urbanization on wildlife in the area,” Smith explained, and he encourages people to think beyond bears to all the other animals that have adapted to the suburbs.

He hopes to see a wide selection of images with volunteers choosing the best to be included in the exhibit. The deadline for images or short videos is Friday, Aug. 5. For more details on image specs and the process for submission, visit www.pocoheritage.org, email info@pocoheritage.org for the poster or call 604-927-8403.

THE FUTURE OF RIVERVIEW

Province, Kwikwetlem face off over land First Nation wants role in future of Riverview lands SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

The provincial government has disputed allegations made in a civil suit filed by the Kwikwetlem First Nation claiming title to the Riverview lands, Colony Farm and surrounding areas. The Kwikwetlem filed the civil suit in B.C. Supreme Court in February, stating the group’s relationship to its territory has been “severely impaired” by the defendants’ conduct, saying they have “exercised their jurisdiction in the claim area in a manner that infringes Kwikwetlem’s right to determine how the land is used...

and the right to benefit from the land. “In doing so, the defendants have impaired Kwikwetlem’s ability to exercise its aboriginal title within its territory and the claim area.” In a statement released by the Kwikwetlem shortly after filing the lawsuit, the group said it intends to become an owner of the Riverview lands and lead future development on the site. The notice of civil claim asserts that the Kwikwetlem First Nation was neither consulted nor compensated for B.C.’s use of the lands over the past century, which has and continues to limit its access to and use of the lands to hunt, fish and practise other cultural traditions, and that the defendants have denied Kwikwetlem’s ability to “realize any meaningful economic benefit from the claim area.”

It asks that the province provide an “effective administrative means of recognizing, protecting and, if necessary adjudicating the existence, scope and extent of Kwikwetlem’s aboriginal title,” prior to decisions that could infringe on that title. But the provincial government, in its statement of defence, denied those claims on a number of fronts, noting the suit sidesteps the B.C. treaty process established in 1993 and fails to account for the Kwikwetlem’s non-attendance at a meeting with the provincial and federal governments in December 2000 to explore initiating the treaty process. As well, the province asserts several areas in which the Kwikwetlem First Nation has and continues to be consulted with respect to future development of the Riverview lands, the development of Colony Farm

Your Heating & Cooling Specialist

Regional Park, wildlife management and more. The province’s response also states the Kwikwetlem people have not established the facts necessary to prove aboriginal title — that at the date of contact (1808) or sovereignty (1846), the Kwikwetlem were a unified aboriginal collective responsible for the management of all the claimed lands, that they physically occupied the lands regularly and exclusively, and that they continuously occupied all or part of the lands since 1846. “Various other First Nations assert claims of aboriginal title or rights to all or portions of the claimed lands, or have defined traditional territories which overlap with the claimed lands,” the government response states, listing at least eight other First Nations with an interest in the land.

In addition, the response notes, various activities on the claimed lands since 1912 have left them significantly altered from their natural state, rendering them “unsuitable for the exercise of traditional practices.” Responses have also been filed by BC Housing and the Provincial Rental Housing Corporation (PRHC) and the GVRD BC Housing and PRHC’s joint response denies many of Kwikwetlem’s claims and also details several ways in which they have been consulted and accommodated, including an agreement since 2014 to award all remediation contracts on the Riverview lands to Kwikwetlem-associated companies and a 2016 protocol to generate work opportunities for the Kwikwetlem on a priority basis. “BC Housing and PRHC

engaged with Kwikwetlem at the earliest stage possible,” in the Riverview Visioning Process, the response states. “Kwikwetlem was an active participant in the development of the Vision for Renewing Riverview Report.” The GVRD’s response describes a co-operative relationship with Kwikwetlem that has been built on extensive consultation in the formation and continuing operation of Colony Farm Regional Park. The defendants also note there appears to be an important party missing from Kwikwetlem’s bid for title of nearly 1,000 acres of land in Metro Vancouver: the federal government. The city of Port Coquitlam has not yet filed its response to the civil suit. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

“It could have been a lot worse if the police didn’t take the actions that they did,” Wilcox said, adding, “They do such good work and it goes unnoticed.” After retrieving the adults, neighbours told police of the two basement tenants; the two young women weren’t home at the time but officers went in to rescue their dog. Chief Const. Chris Rattenbury said he’d received positive feedback about the work of the officers and said members “always seem to go the extra mile to help others.” “I am always very proud of the work that the officers do every day and how much they

The couple have six children ranging in age from five to 18 years old; one of them made the initial 911 call before the fire broke out and they were forced to escape from the top floor of the home. “Those children, due to their quick thinking and remaining calm, were able to evacuate the home from the second floor… with the assistance of neighbours in area who assisted with moving a ladder to help them escape,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). The five children were taken in by neighbours whose children attended the same school, and contacted the eldest, who was not home at the time. One suffered minor injuries and all were given medical care. “We’d see [the mother] and the kids out front and we’d give them Popsicles,” said the woman, who asked that her name not be used. “She was a wonderful mom.” As they were comforting the children, the neighbour said, one of them kept repeating, “My mom is so strong, she’s always protected us.

SLEEP EXPERTS Can an Oral Appliance help my sleep apnea? An Oral Appliance is most successful for people who snore, and those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. They can also be used as combination therapy with CPAP in severe cases. The mouthpiece is worn over the bottom and top teeth, like a mouth guard, and gently repositions the lower jaw forward while you sleep. By pushing the jaw forward, it creates more space in the throat and stabilizes the lower jaw and tongue. It is always important to discuss whether an oral appliance would work for you, with your physician or Specialist. CanSleep works with a Specialist, who invented a custom oral appliance used by sleep apnea patients worldwide. Consultations are free and a better night’s sleep awaits you. CanSleep also provides an over the counter mouth piece, which targets snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.

ADVERTISING

• Identify. Advertising lets people know you’re in business and the type of products or services you offer. • Reach out. Bring potential customers to you who might otherwise never know you exist • Special sales and promotions can be advertised that get people’s attention. • Hours of operation. Nothing is more frustrating than going to a store to buy something you need and realizing they are closed. The potential customer will probably go somewhere else to make their purchase. • “Word of mouth” is said to be one of the best forms of advertising, and it’s true. Media advertising in newspapers, online or other media will help get new customers who will then increase business by their spreading the word to their friends. • Seasonal Promotions. There are great benefits of advertising for specialty items or seasonal products. Advertising special seasonal items can bring additional sales at certain times of the year. • Confidence. One of the benefits of advertising is making potential customers feel more confident that a business is professional, stable and reputable. • Blitz. Even companies that are huge, and have plenty of customers, still want to keep their name or products in front of consumers. Frequency is the key. • Consistency. If a business stops advertising it may give the impression that it is out of business. Consistent advertising yields the best results. • Invest. An old saying in the marketing industry is “Advertising doesn’t cost, it pays.” Sometimes you have to invest money to make money, and advertising should be an investment that is included in a business’s annual budget

Cars turn into ovens within 10 minutes, even in the shade with the windows open. If it is only 26˚C outside, the temperature inside a car can reach 37˚C in 10 minutes and a lethal 43˚C in 20 minutes. Dogs cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The hot upholstery and air in a vehicle prevents a dog from cooling themselves.

Fish sauce - the Salt of Thailand Adding salt to food brings up the other flavours, but by adding fish sauce you get a deeper and rounder taste as well. Fish sauce is also full of proteins, vitamins and minerals. Most often it's made from anchovies and sardines, which contain omega-3. You won't achieve good food (both for taste and your body) if you don't use good ingredients.

Sanjay Sharma

Be sure to check the ingredient information on the bottle - fish sauce should only contain; fish, salt and sugar. A lot of fish sauces are impure to keep costs down, and hurry up the fermenting process. Also there should be no sediments floating around and the colour should look like a dark whisky.

TCNEWS

When storing, don't put your fish sauce in the fridge, the salt will start to crystallise and ruin. When your fish sauce gets cloudy and dark like soy sauce it's time to go shopping again...

CITY OF P RT COQUITLAM

Van. to get empty home power JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

The B.C. legislature is being recalled for a rare summer sitting starting July 25 to give the City of Vancouver power to impose a tax on vacant homes in response to growing concerns about housing affordability. Finance Minister Mike de Jong called Vancouver’s plan to tax unoccupied homes a “reasonable step” to try to push more units into the tight rental market. The government will introduce amendments to the Vancouver Charter to provide clear authority to impose such a tax without the city having to try to camouflage it as some sort of business tax, de Jong said. “It is about trying to increase the supply of rental accommodation,” de Jong said. “That is something the province and the government take very seriously.” Without the special legislative sitting this summer to give the city enough time to develop regulations, he said, there was a risk the new tax couldn’t take effect until 2018. The province has not yet had any requests from other municipalities for similar taxation authority, which de Jong said would require amendments to the Community Charter that sets out the powers of municipalities other than Vancouver. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson had threatened to go it alone if the province refused

DRUGS

Roommate likely prevented deaths Police can’t tell if fentanyl played a role in Coq. ODs GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

Police believe a mix of cocaine, alcohol and marijuana is responsible for causing the overdoses of five people Sunday night at a home in the 800-block of MacIntosh Street in Coquitlam. And it could have been much worse. Emergency officials were called to the scene at around 11 p.m. when a roommate ar-

rived at the home and found five people unconscious. “If it hadn’t been for the roommate coming home, we’d probably be waking up to the largest mass overdose death in the province in some time,” said Coquitlam Fire Chief Wade Pierlot. Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson said investigators were unable to determine whether fentanyl, which is being blamed for a spike in drug deaths this year in Metro Vancouver, was a factor in the incident. “There was a lot of speculation as to whether or not this was a fentanyl-based drug,” he told The Tri-City News on

Tuesday. “We can’t confirm that. There were no substances suitable for lab analysis.” All of the victims were revived with the use of the opiate overdose antidote naloxone and were in hospital, where they are expected to make a full recovery, Phillipson added. Pierlot said crews brought additional resuscitation devices and that all of the victims had extremely low oxygen saturation levels. After the naloxone was administered, Pierlot said the victims were revived and able to walk outside to the ambulance with some assistance. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Motorcyclist killed in weekend crash Car driver turning onto Cedar Drive struck motorcycle GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

A 51-year-old man is dead after his motorcycle collided with a sedan at Cedar Drive

and Pinemont Avenue in Port Coquitlam at around 5:30 p.m. Saturday. The incident occurred when a 24-year-old motorist turned left onto Cedar heading south, striking the motorcycle and sending the victim 30 feet down the road. Emergency crews tried to revive the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson said the vehicle driver has cooperated with investigators. “There is no signs that suggest impairment for either driver but the investigation is ongoing,” he said. “There’s nothing that appears criminal.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

TRI-CITY CRIME

Thomas guilty on sex assault, threat charges Victims under 16 at time of assaults, the court heard SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

A Port Coquitlam man has been found guilty of several charges of underage sexual assault after a trial at New Westminster Supreme Court

wrapped up last week. Kevin Craig Thomas was charged with more than a dozen offences in February 2015 after a report of a sexual assault the previous December led to allegations involving a number of victims, who were also under 16 years old at the time. The allegations dated back to April 2014. After a two-week trial earlier this summer Thomas was found guilty of nine charges,

including three counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference of a person under 16, two counts of uttering threats and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawful confinement were dismissed. Thomas will be back in court next month to schedule a sentencing date.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

School drinking water testing results show safe levels DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Water sample reports for 53 School District 43 schools tested for lead under Health Canada regulations show only one school near the upper limit and another that initially failed but passed after a plumbing fixture was replaced. Anmore elementary, built in 1963, was found to have 9.03 parts per billion (ppb) of lead in one test of drinking water by Maxxam Labs, which is still under the recommended 10 parts per billion allowable for safe drinking water. And two further tests showed much lower levels of lead (3.46 ppb and 0.62 ppb), also under

Date: Time: Location:

Canadian standards. The testing of 53 of 76 SD43 schools and facilities that took place in March also found one sample at Meadowbrook elementary failed to meet Canadian standards because it was found to have lead concentrations of 10.1 ppb. That situation was remedied, however, when a plumbing fixture was replaced, according to the district’s community relations manager, Peter Chevrier. Follow-up sampling found lead levels within safety standards. The three tests for the 39-yearold Coquitlam school found concentrations of 2.73 ppb, 4.92 ppb and 7.77 ppb, results provided to The Tri-City News show. Chevrier said facilities man-

agement staff knowledgeable in water testing protocol took samples from three taps or fountains in each school, with results provided to The News confirming that schools’ drinking water met Canadian health standards. (For full results, visit www.tricitynews.com.) Chevrier said SD43 will begin annual water testing at all schools built before 1989, when lead solder was used to weld copper water pipes. Previously, the district tested school drinking water only when it appeared to be discoloured or to have an unusual taste. “We are now testing annually and will follow an annual testing schedule as mandated by the ministry,” Chevrier confirmed.

OUR OPINION

Report fail: Real estate stats don’t make Libs look good

here are serious problems with B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s efforts to disprove the foreign ownership myth last week — after just three weeks of studying the problem after changes to the property transfer tax form Here are some takeaways from a report that appeared to be more about getting out the BC Liberal government message than dealing with a growing affordability problem. First, the report suggests property flipping isn’t a problem and speculation is no worse than in previous hot real estate cycles. But the information provided on property flipping was for all of B.C., not just markets where the activity is expected to be most heated. As well, property speculation may already be on the wane because of the challenges in flipping an already over-

a detached home, not necessarily a new condo, and at $1.2 million — the Coquitlam benchmark price — a house with a yard is out of reach for all but those whose parents can cash out and help them. Third, the report stated that foreign buyers only make up a small part of the

priced property, and thus not a really useful data set. Second, the report suggested red tape at city hall is to blame for the tight housing market because projects can take up to 13 years for approval. This is a red herring because many people who grew up in the region want

market, or 5.1% in Metro Vancouver. Sadly, nobody believes this because place of residence is self-reported and the purchaser can use a company or law office with a local address. Fourth, the report notes that 3,603 families have saved an average of $7,060 on their newly purchased homes and 10,470 didn’t have to pay property transfer tax because they were first-time buyers. Unfortunately, these amounts are chump change when compared to the size of a downpayment and a mortgage on the $774,000 benchmark price of a residential/composite home in Coquitlam. The bottom line is people who were supposed to be in charge were asleep at the switch and Metro Vancouver families are paying a hefty price as a result — a price fewer and fewer can afford.

YOU SAY “This kind of destructive buffoonery and antisocial behaviour has no place in our community. Kudos to the parents and neighbours of the daycare for pitching in to alleviate the damage immediately. The reaction to every stupid act like this has to send this strong message to the perpetrators: ‘the community will react in solidarity and come together.’ If perpetrators are caught they should be made to be involved in a community restorative justice situation...” Steve Bailey comment on our story about graffiti at a daycare in Port Coquitlam

GAS STATIONS

POCO GRAND PRIX

The Editor, Re. “Chevron pushing on city’s regs re. self-serve stations” (The Tri-City News, July 8). I was disappointed to read your article about Chevron asking the city of Coquitlam to allow self-serve gas stations. I am extremely sensitive to the smell of gasoline and feel fortunate to live in a city where I can have someone else fill my gas tank at no extra cost. Full-serve stations also provide jobs for young people and immigrants, and as for the safety issue, they can close at 10 p.m. and avoid any concerns. It’s not inconvenient for a Coquitlam resident to find a gas station elsewhere where they can buy gas 24 hours a day but it does sound like Chevron wants to increase its profits and cut costs. Sandra Ireland, Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “One week ’til PoCo’s big bike race” (The Tri-City News, July 8). Your article on the PoCo Grand Prix this Friday was not accurate in stating that this will be the first road bike race to be held in Port Coquitlam. In the early 1970s, my husband, Keith Walker and a team of volunteers, myself included, organized four road bike races in the city. Not only were they a success but they also helped to launch the cycling career of a PoCo teenager, Brian Keast, who went on to make quite a name for himself in the cycling world, including the Olympics. Several attempts by my husband to make the present committee aware that we have a local cycling hero have met with not a flick of interest. Just as a footnote, the 1970s races were organized and put on by a group of volunteers — no $150,000 grant from anyone. Dorothea Walker, Port Coquitlam

Self-serve in Coq.? Races in 1970s, too

The Editor, I can’t believe Coquitlam mayor and council would even entertain Chevron’s request that the city allow self-serve gas stations. The idea of having full-ser-

Chevron’s quest to have self-serve gas stations allowed in Coquitlam has prompted a number of letters from readers. vice stations and a closing time of 10 p.m. is for the safety of the employees and customers, not to help add to unemployment or increase the profits of the company. I would think that with the small number of people needing gas after 10 p.m., closing at that time would save the company money by not having to pay staff to work all night with few customers. If council allows the proposed changes, the next push will be for self-service 24 hours per day. As per The Tri-City News article, I believe a lot of people fill up in Coquitlam mainly because of the full-

service stations. Also this is a first job for many of our young people and it would be a real shame to have this taken away from them. E. Morwood, Coquitlam

‘OUT OF SYNC’

The Editor, Thank you, Chevron, for raising this issue again. Our current bylaws are out of sync with the rest of the Lower Mainland and should be addressed by our council. I know the Pacific Reach Industrial Park and the proposed development of Fraser Mills would benefit if changes were made. Ken Woodward, Coquitlam

Sciatica, Stenosis and Herniated Discs May Be to Blame for Pain and Numbness in Legs LOCAL CLINIC OFFERS FREE CONSULTATION TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body.

Whiplash Neck Pain

This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

]

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal... Without Drugs or Surgery Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatment options available at the Spinal Decompression Institute.

Class IV Therapeutic Laser The Spinal Decompression Institute employs a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has shown results in returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.

PORT COQUITLAM

Answer housing Q’s to form PoCo future How do you add more housing to a city without wrecking established neighbourhoods? That’s the question Port Coquitlam is asking with its Let’s Talk Housing Options survey, aimed at collecting feedback on housing options to allow more people to move to the city. Through Sept. 19, a guided survey with detailed information will be available at www.portcoquitlam.ca/housing as well as community events, including at this Friday’s bike race, where the Cityinfo tent will be part of the PoCo Grand Prix Biz Expo. “We’ve been hearing more and more that our residents, and people who want to move to Port Coquitlam, are looking for more housing options,” Mayor Greg Moore said in a press release. “The ideas we are putting forward have worked well in other areas, and we’re looking forward to hearing what our community has to say about them.” Housing options being considered include: • coach houses — allowing small accessory dwellings, or laneway housing; • smaller lots — expanding opportunities for narrower lots; • duplexes — expanding where buildings for two families may be built and ensuring they fit the neighbourhood. “These proposed changes would provide more options for home buyers, renters, multigenerational households and people with changing housing needs,” said Coun. Brad West,

POCO OCP UPDATE IN THE FALL

The Housing Choice policy also ties into the update of the city’s official community plan, due to start this fall. According to a recent staff report, nearly half of PoCo’s 23,536 homes are detached houses and duplexes to accommodate a population of about 62,000 residents. But under the Regional Growth Strategy — a document all Metro Vancouver municipalities signed — PoCo’s head count will be at 85,000 in 2041, which would mean there would have to be 34,300 homes by that year, according to the report. chair of the city’s Smart Growth Committee. Overall, the changes are intended to: • provide more housing options for residents to accommodate changing needs; • create more housing with ground-level access; • ensure new housing fits the neighbourhood character; • and make efficient use of infrastructure and accommodate growth in existing neighbourhoods. As part of the review, the city has looked to address potential impacts on parking, privacy, trees, infrastructure and services, including continuing to allow secondary suites in single-family homes but requiring a parking space for them The report on public input will go to the Smart Growth Committee this fall. Those who complete the online survey by Sept. 19 can enter to win an iPad Mini.

What is BC Superweek? BC Superweek is a series of professional cycling events hosted in various cities across Metro Vancouver, and Canada’s largest professional cycling series. PoCo Grand Prix is the fourth of ve events in BC Superweek, which this year runs July 8-17 and includes the Tour de Delta, Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix, Giro di Burnaby and Tour de White Rock.

The winner is the rst person to cross the nish line after a predetermined time or number of laps. What is a prime? Pronounced “preems,” primes are designated laps – usually announced by a bell – that offer cash prizes to the fastest rider. Primes may be sponsored by organizations or businesses or through crowd funding (watch for volunteers on race day collecting donations and selling prime bells).

BY THE NUMBERS Length of PoCo Grand Prix course: 1.3 km Males cyclists participating: approx.120 Female cyclists participating: approx. 50 Average age of cyclists: 25 Average years racing: 5-8 Average hours of cycling per week: 10-25 Average speed: 50 km/hr Maximum speed: 63 km/hr Overall BC Superweek prize money: $125,000

The course is unique in that most of the entertainment and activities are contained within the circuit, allowing event-goers to easily go back and forth between the sporting action and the other race-day events.

Weaving through downtown Port Coquitlam, the PoCo Grand Prix course is a 1.3-km circuit featuring six turns. Riders will navigate the course for 40-65 laps and whiz by approximately once per minute.

How much time do the riders spend training? Riders typically spend between 10 and 25 hours per week on their bicycles. A recovery day is about one to 1.5 hours of riding, while a long day could be up to six hours. The athletes also complement their riding with cross-training activities such as swimming, running and weights.

THE POCO GRAND PRIX COURSE

What is the difference between an amateur and a pro rider? Amateur (elite) riders aren’t sponsored and therefore must pay their own way for equipment, travel and entry fees while they gain experience and skill. Once riders move to the professional level, they can obtain sponsorship that will cover their costs and in some cases pay a wage.

Number of nationalities represented: 12

What do the four rider categories mean? Amateur, or elite, riders start at Category 4 and accumulate points in races to advance through the categories. Category 1 is the highest level for elite riders before moving on to a professional contract. Some riders may achieve Category 1 in one or two seasons, while others may spend their entire cycling career working towards it.

COQUITLAM FARMERS MARKET

Market celebrates past, looks to future Local food and food security are ongoing issues

iT’s A PArTy sUNDAy

Coquitlam Farmers Market will be celebrating its 20th anniversary Sunday, July 17 with food, fun and activities. The party kicks off at 10 a.m. with opening remarks followed by a photo, where everyone joins in to create the number 20. The photo shoot will be followed by a cake cutting at 10:30 a.m. and a salmon barbecue. There will also be kids’ games and crafts, a photo booth and a display of hockey prowess by members of the Coquitlam Express. As well, 50 vendors will be on hand selling fresh produce, baked goods, handmade jewelry and artisan crafts. Coquitlam Farmers Market is open Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Oct. 30; it is located in the Dogwood Pavilion parking lot at 624 Poirier St. (entrance off Winslow Avenue). Coquitlam Farmers Market started as a community economic development project by SFU students in 1996 and has been a gathering place for the community and an outlet for local crafters, bakers, and farmers to sell their goods. Everything available at the market has been made, baked, grown or raised in B.C.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

rom the seed of an idea, the Coquitlam Farmers Market has ripened to be one of the most successful farmers’ markets in the region. Now, with thousands of people visiting the Coquitlam summer market and the Port Moody winter market to pick up locally grown produce as well as sauces, meat, fish, eggs and bread, plus handmade crafts, the market has become a staple in many people’s lives. As it prepares to celebrate its 20th birthday, founder Terri Evans and current executive director Tabitha McLoughlin spoke to The Tri-City News about the importance of supporting the region’s farmers and the need to develop policies to make locally grown food more accessible. Their comments come at a time when Port Coquitlam is looking to update its official community plan to promote agriculture and Metro Vancouver is finalizing a food security plan to ensure future generations have access to local food. Examples of recent successes they’d like to see more of include the Coquitlam Munch project, where businesses in Austin Heights look after vegetable planters, with people harvesting greens to make their salads. They would also like

Tabitha McLoughlin (left), executive director, and Terri Evans, director, with a basket of vegetables that are in season in local farmer’s markets. The two are getting ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Coquitlam Farmers Market this Sunday, July 17. to see more public produce, community orchards and edible trails, where roadsides are planted with fragrant rosemary and mint, not just grass. They are great promoters of community gardens, believing that getting food from the soil a block away instead of by truck over thousands of kilometres is “what we should value as a healthy city,” Evans said. But with increasing pressure to find land for housing, and the new Fremont Connector likely

to divide land in the Agriculture Land Reserve, the two worry that small farms in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam could soon disappear. “The highest and best use is farmland,” Evans said. “We need to protect that space.” Among their suggestions is leasing unused land to young farmers, providing incentives for farming and supporting a price structure that ensures farmers are paid fairly for the work they do and the invest-

ments they make. “Small plots of land are critical to local agriculture… We need to start growing food for ourselves,” Evans said. If people placed more value on local food over cheap produce from elsewhere, a strong foodie culture could develop here, one that appreciates local food, slow cooking and eating together. “The only valuable things can’t be the next 30-storey tower,” Evans said.

McLoughlin said the success of the Coquitlam Farmers Market shows people care about their food and this strength could be leveraged into land policies and other measures to protect farmers and promote farming. “You can have this sense of communal ownership,” she said, pointing to the success of so-called Brewer’s Row in Port Moody, where four craft breweries are drawing crowds — from the Tri-Cities and beyond — to Murray Street. “It’s promoted a lot of interest in the community and business, and other dimen-

sions of the foodie style.” There is no doubt that shopping at farmers’ markets has become a popular community activity: It’s free to go, there is always entertainment and activities for children and, 20 years on, it is no longer a novelty. Whether this success can be transformed into a strong policy of food security in the Tri-Cities is still a question but Evans and McLoughlin say the market will be around for many more years and they promise to work with the community to support this idea. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

A GOOD READ MICHAEL DEKOVEN

number of hotly anticipated career-related books have come out this year. These provide great tips for people entering the workforce, for those considering a career change and for those looking to update their skills. What skills will you need in the future to succeed at work? Check out Stretch: How to Future-proof Yourself for Tomorrow’s Workplace by Karie Willyerd and Barbara Mistic for help in developing a plan for professional development. The authors summarize their extensive research and present five practices to avoid becoming obsolete. They suggest we need to cultivate curiosity and avoid “self-limiting thinking;” welcome feedback as valuable information that we can use to grow; build diverse networks made up of people of different ages, genders, power and influence; that we be greedy about experiences to help us grow; and that we learn to “bounce forward” and not just bounce back from setbacks. Charles Duhigg claims the key to productivity and success isn’t “simply working more and sweating harder.” In his new book Smarter, Faster, Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business, he says the

key is “making certain choices in certain ways,” and he backs up this claim by summarizing a large number of studies and the extensive interviews he did with extraordinarily productive people. The Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist wraps his research on how to be more productive in entertaining and engaging anecdotes, and he gives readers the tools they can use to be more productive wrapped up in great stories to help motivate them. In Grit: the Power of Passion and Perseverance, psychology professor Angela Duckworth argues that the key to success is a combination of passion and perseverance in the pursuit of a long-term goal. Duckworth says her research over the past decade or so has demonstrated that “grit” can predict success more reliably than talent or IQ, and that anyone can learn to be “gritty.” She outlines the four “psychological assets” that gritty people have developed: interest, which she defines as “intrinsically enjoying what you do;” practice, or “the daily discipline of trying to do things better than we did yesterday;” purpose, or “the conviction that your work matters,” that it is “integrally connected to the well-being of others;” and hope, which she says is “the expectation that our efforts can improve our future.” Chris Guillebeau’s goal is to help you win the “career lottery” and find work that pays well, gives you joy, and is

psychologically rewarding. He provides a guide on how to do this in his new book Born for This: How to Find the Work You were Meant to Do. Guillebeau said we need to use the ups and downs of our careers to learn to find the job where joy (what you like to do) and money (what sustains you) and flow (what you are good at) intersect. He provides exercises, anecdotes and practical advice on how to make it as a freelancer or entrepreneur, or how to make a more traditional office job better. Managers looking to help their employees develop their skills might want to look at a new book by Michael Bungay Stanier called The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More and Change the Way you Lead Forever. Stanier believes coaching is simple and that it can be done in 10 minutes or less. He says that by using the mechanisms of building and embedding new habits, you can build a habit of daily, informal coaching. He provides questions to ask when coaching for performance and exercises to help set positive actions. The central message of his books is: “Talk less and ask more. Your advice isn’t as good as you think it is.” You can find all these books and more at your local library.

And though its set list is a secret, Dillon promises a wide range of cover tunes to suit the post-ride crowd. “We will most definitely be playing hits of the day whilst mining the classic repertoire to appease any baby boomers feeling that nostalgia kick — those classic songs that everyone of all ages will know,” he told The Tri-City News.

mon with the cycling community,” she told The Tri-City News last week. “We share the road, are very concerned about safety and love that adrenaline rush. We are both very passionate about what we’re doing.” Sponsoring an event in neighbouring Port Coquitlam

is good for the Tri-Cities overall, Cerclé said. “I know that we’re based in Coquitlam but we work around the entire Lower Mainland and the province. We’re a big supporter of local events and we’re happy to be part of something different, on a much bigger scale.”

ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

Cerclé said she was pleased to hear Locarno would kick off the day-long entertainment at the PoCo Grand Prix. As a previous organizer of Festival du Bois in Maillardville, she brought on the Mexican/ Cuban-sound group this and last year (she also saw them perform at Music on the Grill at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam in 2011 with Babe Gurr). Led by Juno award-winner and Paperboys’ frontman, Tom Landa, Locarno hits the Phoenix stage at 1 p.m. at the Leigh Square bandshell. It will be followed by The Bird & The Lion — a Port Coquitlam singing/songwriting duo — at 2:30 p.m. while Ache Brasil blasts off at 4 p.m. with its bright music, dance and acrobatics, a taste of what’s to come at the Rio Summer Olympics next month.

ready thinking about their next album. Typically, they start writing alone before joining forces. “Before anything goes onto a record, we’ve all had our fingers in there,” Passmore said. Since they banded in 2006, their influences have changed. They try out new styles like story songs (The Doe is an example on Burn the Plan). “We each have different ideas of how to elevate the sound. At the end of the day, we want to see what we can do to have a record that’s unique and bring variety and not have 10 to 12 songs that all sound the same.” • For tickets for the BBQ dinner and/or show with The Good Lovelies, Three Worlds and the Leo Bae Quartet, call the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

It’s been a decade since Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore went into rehearsals for their first show. It was a Christmas gig at Toronto’s Gladstone Hotel and the three solo artists knew even before the concert started they would continue to work together as a folk/country trio. “Something just clicked,” Passmore remembered. “You sing with lots of people and it’s not always so easy but we had a lot of fun and, from then on, the ball started rolling.” Passmore, who went to school with Ough and met Brooks through a mutual friend four years earlier, said The Good Lovelies was buoyed by its debut EP, Oh My! released in 2007. And, in 2010, after it beat out Great Lake Swimmers, Annie Lou, Carolyn Mark and NQ Arbuckle and Madison Violet for Best Roots and Traditional

Album of the Year (Group), people started to take note (they were also nominated for a 2012 Juno for their follow-up CD, Let the Rain Fall). “The perception of who you are and what you’ve done changes,” Passmore said of the country’s highest music accolade. “It’s not tangible but it makes a difference about how people see you.” This Saturday, The Good Lovelies will take to the Evergreen Cultural Centre as part of the Music on the Grill series to play tunes from their latest album, Burn the Plan, released last year. And Passmore said they look forward to returning to the Coquitlam venue, having performed there in March 2012. The stop is part of a small summer tour that will see the Lovelies entertain at the Harrison Festival of the Arts on July 17 before heading to Kansas for two dates later this month.

Over the course of Leah Guloien’s cycling career, she has taken part in events across Europe and the United States, from La Route De France to the Tour of Flanders. But now the 33-year-old Port Moody secondary alum is adding Port Coquitlam to the list of town’s she has raced in, as she gears up for the PoCo Grand Prix, a B.C. Superweek event. The race will be a homecoming of sorts for the

Fraser University. She began competing internationally and eventually landed a spot with Colavita, a professional American cycling team, where she raced for two years. However, after a few years away from home she decided to return to the Tri-Cities, where she found a spot with the Trek Red Truck racing team. She said she now spends a lot of her time racing and helping develop local female riders looking to break into the sport. “I am trying to get more women involved,” she said. “I am taking women that seem to be into it and working with them. It is something where they can get an idea of what

racing with a team is like.” One rider Guloien has gotten to know during her experience with Trek is Sara Bergen, another Coquitlam-born athlete who will be competing at the PoCo Grand Prix this week. Bergen has a similar cycling background, with the Dr. Charles Best secondary alum starting in the sport during her time as a student at BCIT, where she commuted to class by bicycle. “I really wanted to race bikes,” she said. “I just didn’t know where to start.” She bought a road bike after graduating and started taking the sport more seriously, setting her eye on the Whistler Grandondo. When she won the event, it was only a matter

of time before a spot opened up for her on the Trek cycling team. Both Bergen and Guloien said they hoped that their example would help encourage more women to take up cycling and get involved in the sport. In fact, Guloien said she is organizing a table at this week’s PoCo Grand Prix, where a handful of female Olympic athletes will be on hand to talk “The whole idea is just showing women what the sport is about,” she said. “We just want to get women together to develop and grow the sport.” sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

FIL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Team Canada gearing up for semifinals Round-robin win over Australia secures trip to the semifinals

Team Canada is heading to the semifinals at the FIL U19 Men’s Lacrosse World Championships after defeating Australia 17-3 on Monday night. It was the third straight win for the home team, who now receive a bye in the first round of the playoff portion of the tournament. Canada has not lost a match since the championship opener against the United States, where the team fell 12-5. “We knew that Australia, from watching them in their games so far, were a team that can have the ball for long stretches of time,” said Team Canada head coach Taylor Wray. “We felt like we needed to put some pressure on them and make it difficult for them to get the ball in their offensive zone, and that worked in

our favour.” Canada’s Ryan Lanchbury had a strong game, netting four goals and three assists for a seven-point effort, while Jeff Teat had a hat trick and two assists and Ethan Walker also scored three goals. Defenceman and Port Coquitlam athlete Ryland Rees also got on the scoresheet with a goal on Monday, bringing his tournament point total to four (three goals, two assists). “We’re happy with the results,” said Wray. “As always, there’s still things that we can improve upon, but we’re starting to get better and starting to add some new elements to our offense and defense, and that’s what we were hoping to do throughout the round robin.” On Sunday, Team Canada defeated the Iroquois Nationals 12-9, while taking down England 24-2 on Saturday.
