BQ seniors have to move Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Residents of the Burquitlam Lions Care Centre in Coquitlam have until next August to find
somewhere else to live. Fraser Health issued a oneyear notice that the affiliation agreement and funding would end on Aug. 4, 2016, according to Burquitlam’s administrator,
David Dines. Residents will continue to be admitted until January, when the organization will begin winding down. Residents and their families have already been notified of
the pending changes but Dines remains concerned about how they’ll handle such a significant alteration in their routine. see MOVING, page 8

TERRY FOX [MORE COVERAGE, NEXT PAGE]
Farmer remembers Terry running by Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Your Neighbourhood Realtor Since 1987 T E A M
A farmer in New Brunswick has chosen a unique way of recognizing the 35th anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Chip Hunter, a partner at Hunter Brothers Farm Market, has cut Fox’s iconic image into a six-acre field for this year’s corn maze, an annual tradition for residents in the Florenceville-Bristol area. Hunter said Fox ran past the farm as part of his cross-Canada journey in 1980 and he got the chance to meet him. “People were looking for him,” Hunter said. “The kids from the elementary school were all out on the road. We could see him off in the distance.” When Fox came by, he stopped and posed for a picture before moving on to his next engagement. In those early days of the Marathon of Hope, Hunter said Fox’s run was more of a curiosity than the national sensation it would become. “If you were to look back knowing what you know now, the crowd would have been deep and long for him,” he said. “It was kind of an oddity at the

Each year, maze designers focus on a different theme, ranging from the 50th anniversary of the Beatles coming to Canada to the 65th anniversary of Thomas the Train. In order to get the detail of the image, GPS is used and an engineer is hired to plot out the markings in the field. Once the corn is cut, trivia

Hunter Brothers isn’t the only Canadian farm to pay tribute to Terry Fox in this way. Last month, the Kraay Family Farm in Lacombe, Alta. and the Chilliwack corn maze both celebrated the Port Coquitlam hero’s legacy with mazes.

The Poirier Forum — the dry-floor facility that opened at Poirier Street and Winslow Avenue in Coquitlam in February — is fully booked during peak hours for the fall allotment.

Forum full T! but parking issues to be addressed
t.,
Dry-floor facility proving popular with sport groups Janis Warren
The Tri-CiTy News
The parking may be a sore point and the heating and cooling continue to be a concern but the new Poirier Forum is fully booked during peak hours this fall, Coquitlam city staff say. The Forum — the $3.9-million dry-floor facility that opened in February south of Dogwood Pavilion — will see three new sports groups begin training next month: Coquitlam Metro-Ford and North Coquitlam United soccer clubs, and CoquitlamMoody Ringette Association. Vinh Truong, Coquitlam’s community recreation manager, told The Tri-City News there has been a big uptick in the daytime use of the Forum since the 25,000-sq. ft. venue opened last winter, with pickle ball at capacity for the 2.75 hours it’s booked each day. Members of Dogwood Pavilion, the seniors’ centre next door, are considered primary users for the city along with hockey and lacrosse clubs; however, private organizations such as Vancouver Inline Hockey League are also clambering for regular floor time, Truong said. Athletic groups aren’t the only users. This December,
more than 100 exhibitors will be selling their wares at the Coquitlam Christmas Craft Fair — a popular annual gathering that used to be held in a rink at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex across the road. “The response to the Forum has been really great,” Truong said. “In fact, many people are asking for us to build more indoor space because the demand is so high.” Meanwhile, Perry Staniscia, Coquitlam’s general manager of strategic initiatives, said the city will hire a consultant to advise how the existing parking lot can be reconfigured. Users of both Dogwood Pavilion and the Poirier Forum have complained about the lack of stalls and there’s not much room when the Coquitlam Farmers Market takes over part of the parking lot on Sunday mornings (the market runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Sunday from May through October). A report is due before city council by November. Still, the reconfiguration, if approved, would only be a temporary fix as city parks managers are expected to be studying the entire Poirier sports precinct next year or so. The Forum will also be used for the 55-Plus Games, to be held from Sept. 20 to 24, 2016, as well as Coquitlam’s 125th anniversary celebrations next year. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

SENIORS IN THE TRI-CITIES
Moving seniors from home ‘traumatic’: Burquitlam admin. continued from front page
The average age of Burquitlam residents is 86 years and the majority of residents have some form of advancing dementia and other health problems. “It’s very traumatic relocating someone of that age, of that mental and physical state, particularly if they have advancing dementia,” Dines said. “They’re already very confused and this adds to the confusion with a new environment. They won’t know who anybody is, they won’t know their way around. It has an unsettling effect on residents.” Burquitlam opened in June 1981 as a non-profit seniors’ home and currently has a capacity of 76 beds. Fraser Health says the facility cannot be renovated to meet today’s complex care requirements. “Over the years, the needs of our residents have evolved, requiring more complex care, including the use of mobility devices such as wheelchairs and walkers, as well as ceiling

“They’re already very confused and this adds to the confusion with a new environment. They won’t know who anybody is, they won’t know their way around. It has an unsettling effect on residents.” Dave Dines, administrator at Burquitlam Lions Care Centre in Coquitlam lifts,” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said in an email to The Tri-City News. A new facility, set to open next summer, will have 136 beds but Juma said Burquitlam residents can choose any facility within the region. Fraser Health will be working on individual transition planning with “every effort… to accommodate their choice before the required move date.” But Dines said a new facility doesn’t guarantee better care for residents, noting it takes time for staff to begin working seamlessly as a team.

Tell them by writing letters to the editor, by sharing information on social media, by encouraging your family, friends and neighbours to get informed, too. and most of all, tell them in the way that matters most: Get yourself to a polling station on oct. 19 and cast a vote for the person and the party you believe will best look out for your family’s interests. Creating a bright future for Canadian families is too important a task to leave up to someone else.

EVERGREEN LINE
City must look at traffic safety, too, in Burquitlam The Editor, Much talk has resulted from the Evergreen Line construction and neighbourhood redevelopment in Burquitlam. While discussion of housing, roads, commercial expansion and green spaces remain a warranted focus, I wish to urge the Coquitlam mayor and council to install red light cameras at the intersection of North Road and Austin Avenue as part of Burquitlam’s improvement project. This intersection has become notorious for red light running and extremely close calls between cars and pedestrians. It has become a nearly daily occurrence that I am mere inches from being struck by drivers cutting in front of me when I have the right of way at a crosswalk. I also regularly witness drivers cutting in front of other vehicles when they’ve got a red light and continue to drive through regardless. Burquitlam’s density and commuter numbers are going
WEATHER WOES
Keep lawns longer The Editor, Re. “Predictions of warm fall & dealing with region’s new weather reality” (The TriCity News, Aug. 21). Before the hot weather set in, I set my lawnmower to the highest cut range possible. My grass is still green! Meanwhile, the neighbours are paying for companies to mow the dirt that used to be their lawn. In all of the news stories
about the watering restrictions, I have not seen anyone say to keep your grass at least four to six inches long during hot weather. As a matter of fact, it is better during any time of year to keep your grass 4 to 6 inches long — it keeps the lawn healthy and helps keep the weeds out. Why doesn’t Metro Vancouver tell people this? David Noga, Coquitlam
DOGS IN THE TRI-CITIES
tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO
There are plenty of changes happening and expected to happen in Burquitlam due to the coming of the Evergreen Line in the fall of 2016 and the city must address traffic safety, says the letter writer. to increase once the Evergreen Line is complete in fall of 2016, making this intersection worthy of investment. With safety being so vital, it is necessary to
address the issue and implement a concrete means by which to encourage drivers to follow the rules of the road. Red light cameras are a
great way to invest in the safety of residents and commuters alike, with the potential to decrease red light running. Tara Nykyforiak, Coquitlam
‘Common sense?’ The Editor, What is the big deal about dogs off leash in parks? Are parks not for the use and enjoyment of the community? All a person has to do is use the best of his/her judgment. I recently received a ticket for having my dog off leash at a park in Coquitlam. I was sitting on a bench with the dog on my lap. There was not a soul around when the bylaw officer approached.
I look after a friend’s dog who will attack other dogs. When I walk that dog, I always leash the pooch and it is never off leash. I say leave it to the owner to use common sense and their own judgment when having their dogs out in public. Having a bylaw officer approach me when no one else was in the park is just a cash grab.

KIDSPORT TRI-CITIES EQUIPMENT SALE
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Some 1,000 shoppers walked through the doors within the first hour of the KidSport Tri-Cities summer sale last Saturday. The hugely popular event, held at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex in Coquitlam and sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, drew families from around the Tri-Cities looking to suit up for the fall and winter season with new and used gear. Bikes, golf clubs, hockey equipment and skates were especially popular, with the check-out line stretching the full length of the rink by 10:30 a.m. The sale brought in around $20,000 — enough to register 70 children in sports and other recreational activities.

This past weekend, the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam hosted the CP Women’s Open LPGA tournament. For those of you not familiar with this event, it is the national championship for women’s golf in Canada featuring the best female golfMichael Hind ers on the planet. It Executive Director, is estimated that over Tri-Cities Chamber 70,000 spectators of Commerce made this the best attended Women’s Open ever! The many positive effects brought to our community by this internationally renowned tournament highlight the importance of bringing more of these events to the Tri-Cities. The international publicity and exposure Coquitlam received during the week from media coverage, including live broadcasts of all four rounds across Canada and the United States, is priceless. Images of the beautiful Vancouver Golf Club in Coquiltam were shown throughout the world, putting our community on the map. The economic impact to the local community is estimated to be approximately $8 million. Many local businesses were involved in the staging for this fantastic event, including the local hotels that reached capacity. Thousands of tourists attended throughout the week, enjoying a taste of what Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities area is all about. The number of people from BC and the US coming through the Visitor’s Center at the Chamber office during the week looking for information on the event is evidence in itself. We assisted numerous visitors that were experiencing the area for the first time and I have no doubt that they will come back for more. The CP Open was also a great catalyst for bringing the community together. Over a thousand people volunteered their time to make the tournament run smoothly. Our community came together to stage an event that our cities, our province and our country can be proud of. Congratulations to Vancouver Golf Club
General Manager, Brent Gough and his team for hosting a world class event, showcasing Coquitlam and strengthening the local business community. Next year, Coquitlam will host the 55+ BC

etworking and education are great benefits of being a member of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, however, those benefits are just a few pieces of a much broader value proposition model that focuses on developing community strength. Community strength is enhanced by economic development and job creation but it’s also achieved when businesses support the not-for-profit organizations in their own backyard. As part of Crossroads Hospice Society’s (CHS) business strategy, we continue to focus on raising awareness about Crossroads and the end-of-life care services and support we provide for residents of the Tri-Cities, Belcarra, Anmore and New Westminster. In the summer of 2014 we were fortunate to connect with an innovative member of the local business community in a different way.
Reel Steel Ltd., a long-time Chamber member, made the decision to purchase 50 tickets and host their staff Christmas party at our annual Treasures of Christmas gala (TOC). According to Reel Steel, TOC provided a great venue for their staff celebration and an opportunity for a creative way to develop community strength - aligning with their social responsibility efforts. Our 22nd Annual Treasure of Christmas Gala takes place on Saturday November 21, 2015 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam, and is the perfect opportunity to celebrate with your staff while supporting a worthwhile cause! This premiere event includes a Christmas dinner buffet, live entertainment, dancing, live and silent auctions, plus magical Giving trees which will be donated to Hawthorne Senior Care, Canuck Place Hospice, Pacific Assistance Dog Society and a family with Tri-City Transitions. Together we can make a difference.

S
ome books are true food for thought and that includes these titles containing stories about teens with eating disorders: • Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler carried me with it from the moment I started reading — I was captivated. Although the story is about a serious matter, it is delightfully written with a wicked sense of humour. The main character, Lisabeth Lewis, is anorexic and has a bulimic friend. She has numerous problems, suffers from lowself esteem and comes from a dysfunctional family. This book contains essential and impor-
TC
tant information about anorexia and the assistance that is available to treat this illness. What is so powerful about this story is how Lisa is able to face her problems and reach out for help.

• A Trick of the Light by Lois Metzger shows that eating disorders also affect boys. It is interesting to note that more than a million males in the United States suffer from anorexia. Mike Welles is an average boy who has problems: low self-esteem and family complications. To compound matters, Mike meets a girl who encourages him to develop some wrong coping methods and, before long, he ends up in hospital where he must learn to eat in order to live. This is a good read both for teens and their parents for several reasons: the plot is interesting, the characters are credible and the dialogue makes the reading engaging. • In What Happens Next by Colleen Clayton, a school ski trip with girlfriends changes the PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until August 31, 2015.

LITERACY IN THE TRI-CITIES
life of Sid, a popular 16-year-old girl. Because Sid is not as skilled in the sport as her friends, Page and Kirsten, she lags behind. Sid is alone when she meets a handsome man; she flirts with him and accepts his invitation to a late-night party. What happens next in her young life will lead to avalanche-sized consequences. While she has a comfortable personal environment, Sid lacks experience and knowledge regarding her problems and struggles with emotional distress. Unfortunately, this sad condition leads to an eating disorder. We hope that she will soon recover once she has dealt positively with her problems. Mind you, Sid has made the first step: She told somebody. • Skinny by Donna Cooner is a story about Ever, an obese
person. Ever hears a mean voice in her head, which she calls “Skinny.” While I was reading this book, I realized that my experience was similar to Ever’s. Just as it is for so many people with eating disorders, Ever’s life consists of yo-yo diets and other failing attempts to lose weight. She finally decides to take some drastic measures and goes for a gastric bypass surgery. Even though the choice is difficult, Ever has strong support and she will eventually overcome her food dependency. I chose to include Skinny in this column for the simple reason that the story clearly illustrates the emotional struggles that face obese teens and the impact obesity has on their lives. • Set in a Welsh village, The Twins by Saskia Sarginson is
an awesome read about twins Issy and Viola. Brilliantly written, the story is both sad and funny, with the constant theme of becoming lost and searching for a way out. Both Issy and Viola have different coping strategies: While Issy works hard and lives in the present, Viola struggles with an eating disorder and tries to survive on childhood memories. These childhood memories and village folklore provide a certain charm to the story, and the warm style of narration is cleverly adapted to express the twins’ emotions. These books are available at the Coquitlam Public Library. A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Grazyna Nawrocka works at Coquitlam Public Library.

Janis Warren
The Tri-CiTy News
Devon Wells grew up in Calgary, surrounded by country music. His mom played the piano and his dad, a Saskatchewan native, had a sweet spot for cowboy and bluegrass tunes — songs that were inspired from the Appalachian Mountains that mixed in Celtic and jazz elements. At 13, after seeing Marty McFly dazzle with Johnny B. Goode in the movie Back to the Future, Wells was sold on the guitar. And by the time he graduated high school, Wells knew that music was going to be in
his future. His guitar teacher recommended he enrol at York University as the Toronto institution accepted applications by audio cassette. But during his undergraduate studies there, he saw a show that would change his life. New York City native Béla Fleck and the Flecktones came on strong, he remembered of the concert. “I didn’t realize what he could do. He plays bluegrass on the banjo but it just goes into space,” Wells said while waving his hands in the air. Afterward, the banjo be-
came a kind of obsession and Wells dove into sounds from Earl Scruggs and the American South. The banjo, he said, “has a lot of character. The guitar is one of the two most popular instruments to play but the banjo adds a unique twist and a certain sound that is appealing to many people.” In 2002, Wells moved to the west coast and became a regular on the bluegrass circuit, touring Canada and the U.S. for eight months with The Clumsy Lovers, and playing gigs with his current quartet The Tishomingo String Band. Now, the Coquitlam musi-
cian and composer teaches acoustic and electric guitar as well as banjo to about 25 students in his home studio, Blue River Music Academy, and online through Skype. He also has a smaller ensemble with Chris Russell (guitar) and Russell Sholberg (bass) called The Devon Wells Trio, which next week will kick off a five-concert series in Port Moody called Global Sounds. Their hour-long set at the Gallery Bistro — a Clarke Street café run by well-known Port Moody artists Rainer and Helen Daniels — will include appalachian, folk, bluegrass and original music — perhaps even a few from his new instrumental solo album The Waxing Moon, due out Nov. 7. “We’ll be playing some great music that you don’t hear so often in B.C.,” Wells said. For the past year, Gallery Bistro has been hosting jazz
jam sessions and other free and ticketed events; however, the Daniels wanted to present a broader range of musical genres in their small setting. Alan Walsh, of the Celtic band New Fish, suggested to the Daniels a varied line-up of international flavours for the month of September. “We’re really impressed with the high calibre of musicians that will be participating,” Helen Daniels told The Tri-City News via email. “Hopefully, this five-concert series will appeal to people wanting to enjoy a fun night out with great live music, food and drink close to home and will lead to more special music events.” • Tickets for a Global Sounds show are $12 (plus tax).

They were art healers, helping to nurture a sense of confidence and pride with the veterans and the frail at residential care centres in Metro Vancouver. But through their art facilitations, the four women also became fast friends and wanted to share their artistic pursuits for the rest of the world to see as well. Marianne Phillips was first introduced to Nancy Cramer two decades ago while working at the Brock Farhni Pavilion at Shaughnessy Hospital in Vancouver. Cramer had an unusual approach to her textile and pottery media as the North Vancouver resident had a bachelor of science degree under her belt. A few years later, Phillips met Paddi McGrath and Anna Milton, who were also employed as art instructors at the George Derby Centre in Burnaby. There, they had a big studio with a loom for weaving and a kiln for clay creations but they also taught painting, drawing and fabric arts to the residents. Their goal was to make the vets and elderly feel comfortable and keep their minds and bodies active. In turn, some became very good at their chosen crafts and literary skills. “It was a great job and very rewarding to see them progress,” said Phillips, who has a degree from UBC in fine arts and psychology. But as the number of vets dwindled over the years, the arts funding from Veterans Affairs Canada began to change, too. Still, the four women found time to get together and showcase their own personal projects at local galleries.

Tomorrow (Thursday), their latest exhibit will be unveiled at the Port Moody Arts Centre. It is called Messengers, a title representing the tangible and intangible. Milton went literal and created a series of pigeons. For Cramer, McGrath and Phillips, they presented more an ethereal edge for the show. Cramer’s messengers are typically animals, whom she believes communicate with humans in surreal ways. Whenever she sees a heron, for her it is a sign of reassurance whereas a crow is a symbol of her late father. Animals offer meaningful coincidences that we can’t ignore, the North

Port Moody secondary student Arkie Liu with Sandra Niven, program and volunteer co-ordinator at the Port Moody Arts Centre, hold some of the colourful cards they will distribute around Port Moody on Saturday for the Art Abandonment Project.

GIVING
Art cards from the heart There are cards shaped like a butterfly and a strawberry. Some have rainbows, happy faces and sparkles. And all have simple messages designed to add a bit of sunshine into someone’s life. On Saturday, the heartfelt cards will be distributed around Port Moody — at coffeehouses, park benches, city hall, etc. — in an effort to lift the finder’s spirit and spread appreciation of artwork. The idea for the Art Abandonment Project came from Port Moody secondary student Arkie Liu, an IB student at Port Moody secondary
and a volunteer at the Port Moody Arts Centre. This spring, to coincide with Youth Week, she asked the public to help with her outreach initiative and make a colourful card with an inspiring message such as “Hope you’re having a good day.” She also asked donors to use the social media hashtag #abandonart or the handle @ pomoarts on the card front cover to generate online momentum for the project and raise awareness of PMAC. To date, Liu has collected more than 30 cards — mostly from PMAC youth volun-
teers and members of the Community Ventures Society — and she will continue to gather more before the Aug. 29 afternoon drop around the City of the Arts. “There’s still time to add to the collection.” Sandra Niven, PMAC program and volunteer co-orindator, who oversaw the project, added, “The cards are meant to be fun and full of surprises. This is our way of paying it forward.” To include your Art Abandonment card, call 604931-2008 or visit pomoarts.ca.

American golfer Demi Runas tees off on 15 during the CP Women’s Open at the Vancouver Golf Club on Friday. The tournament was eventually won by New Zealand golfer Lydia Ko who went 67-68-69-72.

Ko takes trophy for a second time at VGC 18-year-old golfer defeats Stacy Lewis in playoff Gary MCKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
When Lydia Ko won the Women’s Open at the Vancouver Golf Club back in 2012, she was a relative unknown on the LPGA circuit. Today, the 18-year-old New Zealand golfer is a veteran of the tour, whose poise was on full display as she bested her opponents in the 2015 edition of the tournament in
Coquitlam on Sunday. With the victory, Ko defeated one of the strongest fields on the LPGA tour this year, consisting of golfers like Stacy Lewis, Michelle Wie and Lexi Thompson. Ko, who went 67-68-69-72 at the tournament for a 12 under par total of 276, was tied with American Stacy Lewis when the final round came to an end, forcing a playoff. However, Ko made par on the first hole of the playoff, putting a two-footer after Lewis missed on her par attempt. That sealed the tournament for the New Zealand golfer, who bagged her eighth career
BACK
victory and third of the season, pulling in year to date earnings of $1.7 million. Ko was tied for first place with Candie Kung going into the final round on Sunday after recording four birdies against a lone bogey on 18 to shoot a 69. “Overall, I played really solid, so I’m happy with the way I’m hitting it and the way I’m putting it,” Ko said. “I think every round, unless I shoot 18-under par, I’m probably going to say, ‘hey, I knew it could have been better.’ But no, I’m playing solid and that’s the mindset I’ve got to have.”

A’s tied 1-1 in Minto finals GAry McKennA The Tri-CiTy News
Two games into the Minto Cup finals and neither team has taken an edge in the tournament. The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs notched the first win of the tournament, taking down the Six Nations Arrows 9-7 on Saturday night. However, the hosting Arrows roared back on Sunday with a 9-8 overtime victory. A’s forward Cole Shafer had a hat trick in Game 1 and dished out two helpers in a game that saw the Adanacs lead by four goals going into the second period. But any thought that this series would not be a battle to the last minute was quickly quashed when the Arrows
piled in a couple of quick goals in the second before closing the gap even further in the third to eventually lose by only two goals. Sunday’s game was an even tighter affair. After Chris Cloutier scored two for the visitors in the opening frame, the Arrows managed to take a lead going into the second. However, Coquitlam again took a commanding lead, only to give up a couple in the third as the Arrow forced overtime. In the extra period, Coquitlam’s Tyler Pace managed to score one, but Arrows’ runners Ryan Lee and Jordan Durston both scored to take the win. The series continued Tuesday night after The TriCity News deadline.

WOMEN’S OPEN
$1.2 M raised for the BCCh continued from page 24
For Lewis, the event was her 19th second-place performance. The week began with Karine Icher topping the leaderboard after day one, where she shot a bogey-free 65 to take a two-shot lead on Thursday. However, Kung’s strong performance on day two of the tournament jostled the standings after she shot a 64 to jump to the lead after
36 holes. But Ko began to make her climb and was tied with Kung by the end of day three, setting the stage for the entertaining final round. The CP Women’s Open also raised $1.2 million for the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation in support of pediatric cardiac research. The funds will be used by the organization’s cardiology department for research into heart rhythym disorders.
