Gleneagle secondary has the biggest representation of all tri-City schools in emerging talent 20, an annual exhibit of Grade 12 art that opens sunday at Coquitlam’s evergreen Cultural Centre. the show includes works by Cynthia wang (holding her clay sculpture, titled “secret”), sylvia wang (with “the Passage of time”) and Jessy Gao (with her acrylic on glass piece titled “wilted”). the reception runs from 2 to 5 p.m. in the art gallery at evergreen (1205 Pinetree way), with remarks at 2:30 p.m. and a dance performance from the telus Youth Mentor Project at 4:30 p.m. For details on other weekend events in the tri-Cities, see our things-to-do Guide on page 23.
five years ago this week, Mabel and C.K. Chan received the phone call that would change their life. The Coquitlam couple’s son Leo, a student at the university of victoria, said he had become violently ill, was phoning 911 and heading to the hospital. “That was the last time I talked to my son,” Mabel said. at first, everyone — including doctors — assumed Leo was suffering from a severe flu. He was given painkillers after a trip to the clinic that afternoon but by the time he phoned his parents at 9:30 p.m., his condition had worsened dramatically. see ‘HE WOULD WANT’, page 6

big plans for longtime waterfront mill site 3,400 residential units part of proposal for current flavelle mill site
sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Plans for a new waterfront community in Port Moody could bring 7,000 people and more than 1,000 jobs to a scal-
lop of land that for more than a century has been home to the flavelle sawmill. Gone will be the piles of cedar logs, the clatter of machinery and the sawdust mountains; in their place
would be a bustling neighbourhood of residents, workers, shoppers and park visitors is envisioned for sometime around 2040. The flavelle oceanfront development proposal fea-
tures a mix of residential and office towers, shops and light industry. of the nearly 3,400 residential units, 96% are expected to be in 11 towers ranging from 16 to 38 storeys, plus one
eight-storey mid-rise building. The remainder would come with 75 live-work units and 62 units in a low-rise rental building. see MILL SITE, page 3

Mill site could be home to thousands of residents in towers and mid-rises
continued from front page
artist renderings show a neighbourhood where towers are interspersed with wide expanses of green space — 24% of the 3.1-hectare (7.5-acre) flavelle property is dedicated to parks and open space — and framed by a seawall. a boardwalk links the eastern edge of the property over a finger of burrard Inlet to Rocky Point Park. Wide plazas and walkways are shown near a new dock space, similar to vancouver’s shoreline neighbourhoods like Granville Island, Yaletown and the olympic village. “I look at the flavelle site daily, I hear it nightly and I’m here to throw my support behind the redevelopment of the site,” said an alderside Road resident at council’s committee of the whole meeting Tuesday. a woman living on april Road said she and her husband had already “chosen” a spot for their future home in the new neighbourhood. The proposal also includes plans for a new overpass connecting the site to Clarke Street at Mary Street in Moody Centre, to alleviate traffic concerns (the location could move as plans progress). but the shovels in the ground are likely to be a long way off yet.
moving ahead on plans for Coronation Park: page 8
Graphics from the developer show the plans for the current Flavelle mill site next to Rocky Point Park on Port Moody’s waterfront. the project would include thousands of housing units as well as commercial space and a park. This week, council received a report that summarized the public consultation flavelle has done to date as well as discussions with stakeholders, including Metro vancouver, Port Metro vancouver, area first Nations, Pacific Coast Terminals and TransLink. feedback received from those groups last summer included concerns about the loss of industrial land and flavelle’s proximity to a working indus-
trial property; both PCT and the port suggest significant setback and noise mitigation measures, as well as disclosure statements on residential title alerting future residents they are moving next to a heavy industry site. TransLink supports density near the Moody Centre Evergreen Extension station but notes any crossing of a SkyTrain line will require its approval. In the meantime, flavelle
needs to clear several more hurdles. The public can get a detailed look at the proposal at an open house on Jan. 26, after which it goes to the Community Planning advisory Committee (formerly the Land use Committee) on feb. 7. That feedback will then be reported back to council in late february, at which point councillors will determine whether the application should go to an oCP amendment bylaw process or if further work is needed. once the oCP amendment bylaw’s first three readings are approved, it goes to Metro vancouver, where it needs the board’s 50% plus one support to change the property’s designation from industrial to mixed-use in the Regional Growth Strategy. (In 2014, the Metro board rejected the city’s application to redesignate the site as it was unwilling to give up industrial land without a compelling development plan in place).

Consultants galore among ranks of councils Annual financial disclosures now available to view Janis cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City taxpayers wanting a peek into the private finances of public officials can check out their newly released disclosures. but a word of warning: The documents that came out this week under the provincial financial disclosure act offer minimal details of council members’ assets, liabilities, property and sources of income. according to the papers, which are available for viewing
at city hall — and, as of yesterday, online for Port Moody councillors — several elected representatives are in the consulting field. Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay is the owner and president of TTS automation Inc., a technology consulting firm, and is an employee of Tero Consulting, a computer company based in Port Coquitlam. besides his municipal, Metro vancouver, TransLink and Municipal finance authority positions, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart also draws a salary from Stewart Communications, which he owns. and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who is also chair of Metro vancouver’s board of
directors, had assets in Livable Region Consulting Inc., a company that handled business, political and parks and recreation matters — but he dissolved it last year, Moore told the tri-City News. Consulting is also prominent on councillors’ disclosure forms. Port Moody Coun. Zoe Royer is the president and CEo of Smart dentist Solutions, which, according to its website, is a practice management consulting firm for dental professionals, and she is the president and CEo of Sweetheart bakery, an online subscription service that caters to children and “inspires” them to learn and bake, its website reads. Coquitlam Coun. dennis
wheRe to View DisCLosuRes
Port Moody residents can find disclosures for their council at portmoody.ca, under City Government/City Hall/Mayor & Council. Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam citizens may only view the documents at their city halls.
Marsden is a partner in True North business Consultation Ltd., a home-based firm he shares with principal Kevin o’Rourke that, according to its website, provides “services ranging from strategic planning to operational execution.” Several councillors contract out their services, too. Port Coquitlam Coun. darrell Penner is a contractor for Meridian arms Pub (he is a musician) while Port Moody
Coun. Robert vagramov is a contractor for Macinhome and Inspiration In action. and, although they are not required to disclose properties they own outside of their jurisdiction, many councillors did: • Coquitlam Coun. Teri Towner has a strata property in burnaby; • Coquitlam Coun. Mae Reid, a sales associate with Royal LePage Sterling Realty, owns strata land in Campbell River;
• Moore has a small waterfront parcel with a cottage in Pitt Meadows; • and Penner owns recreational land in Maple Ridge. Royer, who works out of 2419 Clarke St. — the same address as Silk art Gallery, which her husband owns — also has two numbered companies, one of which holds two properties in Peachland. as well, she has land at 1912 Clarke St. and in Maple Ridge, her disclosure states. besides elected officials, senior city managers are required to reveal to city council what they own and owe, to avoid conflict of interest but those documents are not available for public scrutiny.

‘he would want us to advocate’: mom continued from front page
What nobody realized was that Leo had actually come down with a rare form of meningitis — the Y strain — which is found in people between the age of 15 and 25. by the time Mabel and C.K. arrived at Royal Jubilee Hospital in victoria the next day, Leo had slipped into a coma. Within a few days he had died. “I don’t know how I survived those days and nights,” Mabel told the tri-City News. “We never left the hospital. We were constantly massaging his feet and hands. He was frozen cold. “I am glad we stayed. I am sure he knew.” Leo, a Pinetree secondary graduate, was a musician and strong academic student who was studying political science at the time of his death. He planned to earn a degree, then attend law school at ubC, with a focus on human rights. Mabel and C.K. are still grieving their loss and said for the first year, it was difficult to even take care of the little things in their lives. but their anguish slowly turned to resolve, and the family has become dogged in its determination to ensure every parent is aware of the vaccines that are available for their children. In the last six months, their efforts have seen some success. In april, the provincial gov-
Leo ChAn ernment announced it was introducing a quadrivalent vaccine to all Grade 9 students that would cover not only meningococcal C (Men-C) strain, but also the a and W strain, and the Y strain that took Leo’s life. according to the b.C. Ministry of Health, meningitis can cause brain damage and deafness, and it kills 15 of every 100 children who become infected. “Meningococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection and can be life-threatening,” said dr. Perry Kendall, b.C.’s provincial health officer, at the time of the announcement. “Providing the quadrivalent booster in Grade 9 gives adolescents the best protection as they enter the peak years outside of infancy for contracting meningococcal disease, which are between 15 and 24 years of age.” for the Chan family, the announcement is bittersweet. Mabel said while she is
happy the government is making changes, she wishes the quadrivalent vaccine program had been implemented sooner. “I don’t want any parent to have to go through this,” she said. Mabel and C.K. are now focusing their efforts on raising awareness for the thousands of children in Grade 10 and older — many of whom, like Leo, are heading off to university or college — and encouraging them to purchase the vaccination. They have spoken to any group or organization that is willing to listen and have helped
promote a video produced by Leo’s friend Michael Mcdonald that tells Leo’s story. The video, which includes many photographs, can be found on YouTube by searching “I Lost My friend to Meningitis.” “He would want us to advocate so that everybody has the right to know,” Mabel said. “I think that is paramount.” • For more information about meningitis and the provincial vaccination program go to www.immunizebc.ca.

city looks to preserve r’view medical history An expert will be hired to sort thousands of items
@ T E R RY F OX T H E AT R E 2- 4 pm
Janis cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
one of the best collections of historical medical gear in western Canada will be catalogued this year for future display in Coquitlam. This spring, the city is expected to call for consultants to inventory the hundreds of Riverview Hospital artifacts currently in storage. Council approved spending $120,000 last month to retain an expert to sort through the items, some of which date back to the 19th century. The goods will be spread out in a warehouse and identified, photographed, assigned a number and electronically catalogued. as well, any objects deemed hazardous will be removed from the collection. The assessment, which will take about six months, will be done in conjunction with the Riverview Hospital Historical Society and the Coquitlam Heritage Society, said Karen basi, Coquitlam’s cultural services manager. The city obtained the collection from the Riverview Hospital Historical Society after reaching a deal with the Provincial Health Services authority in 2012, when the bC Liberal government closed Riverview after 100 years. among the artifacts now in the city’s possession are: a pump organ from the Crease clinic chapel, a china cabinet from the nursing department, sewing machines, psychiatrist couches, a barber’s chair and medical equipment. There are also formal dresses and uniforms from the late 1800s. (basi was unable to provide the amount for which the city has them insured.) Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of the city’s Riverview Lands advisory Committee and a past president of the Coquitlam Heritage Society, said the city needs “someone with expertise to evaluate what we have. It’s one of the best collections of historical medical equipment in western Canada and we have to make sure it’s safe today and for the future.” Hodge said the city receives several requests a year from the film industry to have the artifacts featured in productions. Most recently, some artifacts were also presented in Mackin House, a Coquitlam heritage home and museum, as part of an exhibit called Science & Social Change. While there are no plans in the next decade for a standalone museum to host the collection, Hodge said there’s no reason some pieces can’t be shown at high-traffic venues

old furniture and other items are in storage and the city of Coquitlam is hiring a consultant to sort and catalogue much of the medical gear dating back to the early days of Riverview hospital. such as city hall and rec centres. Still, he said, “I’m pleased council included the inventory in the budget for this year and we can preserve this collection for years to come.” founded in 1913 as a mental health institution, Riverview Hospital had 2,000 employees and 4,500 residents at its peak as well as its own school, fire department and community centre.

First movement on coronation’s future
sarah Payne
The Tri-CiTy News
The redevelopment of Port Moody’s Coronation Park neighbourhood is taking another step forward but its residents remain split between those who are keen to see the area change and those who want to stay in their homes. at Tuesday’s meeting, council’s committee of the whole endorsed the recommended land use concept plan that features a series of highrise residential and mixed-use towers along barnet Highway, Ioco Road and Guildford Way, with a mix of townhomes and apartments up to the Coquitlam boundary on balmoral. a new park (0.4 hectares, or one acre) and a pedestrian overpass to the Inlet Centre Evergreen Line station are also on the books, as is new vehicle access to Coronation Park. The plan envisions a community built on transit-oriented design (Tod) principles, given its proximity to SkyTrain, a prospect many supported. “It would provide house options within a vibrant community environment,” said one balmoral drive resident. “The world is changing and so should Coronation Park.”
Coun. MeGhAn LAhti others spoke about their adult children who need more affordable housing in the city where they grew up or seniors who would like to downsize, the benefits of having a more densified neighbourhood near SkyTrain, and the need to revitalize the aging area. Sharon barons said she just wants council to “get on with it,” because she is effectively trapped in a home that needs significant repairs. but not all are keen to see Coronation Park become the next Suterbrook. “I am in total opposition,” said Tyler brown. “alternatively, I would support sensitive infill — duplexes, triplexes, townhomes — that would keep it sustainable while maintaining the livability and
character” of Coronation Park. another resident said she and her family moved from vancouver five years ago and want to raise their young children in their home and enjoy the accessibility to nearby amenities. Most council members expressed support for the proposal, acknowledging that the two-year process to date has left homeowners in a difficult limbo. “The general feeling is we need to move something forward, and this is a good starting point,” said Mayor Mike Clay. Coun. Meghan Lahti stressed the proposal is a beginning concept that will change many times over the years to come. “What it’s indicating is the level of density that’s being proposed,” which would boost Coronation Park’s population from about 500 today to nearly 4,500, or double the number of Suterbrook residents. City staff will also be bringing forward reports on proposed density bonus and community amenity contribution programs, as well as a new development cost charge bylaw that would assist in financing amenities in Coronation Park and across the city as development pressures increase.

city ponders rules about rV parking on private property About a dozen complaints each year on the issue gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
are recreational vehicles an unsightly nuisance in residential neighbourhoods or should homeowners be allowed to park what they want on their own property? That is a question Coquitlam council is grappling with as staff review the city’s commercial and recreational vehicle parking regulations. Currently, an Rv is allowed to be parked on a residential property if it is shorter than 7.6 m and weighs less than 4,500 kg (close to 10,000 lb.). but changes proposed by staff would eliminate the weight restriction and allow Rvs of any length, provided they are screened by fencing or landscaping, and parked in an interior side yard or at the rear of the property. Some councillors said the proposed regulations do not go far enough. Coun. Mae Reid called for prohibiting boats and Rvs in some higher-density neighbourhoods, like burke Mountain, where lot sizes are smaller than in other parts of the city. “We spend half of our time talking about parking because people are putting their toys in
the garage and parking on the street,” she said during a committee meeting Monday. She also noted that many homeowners with secondary suites are required to provide parking to their tenants but end up using the spaces for their own purposes. “We are fighting against ourselves here,” she said. “It just isn’t making a lot of sense. To me, there should be a certain lot size where they are prohibited. It’s not like you can’t have them. You just can’t store it at home.” Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning and development, said staff could look at implementing a sliding scale ratio, with the size of boat or vehicle conforming to the size of the property. but staff said the rules they are proposing may have the same effect, with McIntyre noting that many of the smaller lots on burke Mountain do not have side yards and, therefore, couldn’t accommodate larger Rvs. “When we get into some of the tighter neighbourhoods in the northeast, having an Rv in a side yard could really cram it up,” he said. “There isn’t much of a side yard in these new neighbourhoods.” Height was another issue council asked staff to explore. Mayor Richard Stewart noted that a complaint arose in the Como Lake neighbourhood after a resident parked an Rv on a raised side yard
parking pad, which put the vehicle at the same height level of many houses in the area. Council also asked staff to consider regulations requiring the owner of an Rv to be the owner or occupant of the home where the vehicle is parked. a staff report stated that bylaw officers attend approximately 11 oversized vehicle complaints per year and often find the vehicle in question meets the restrictions but the “complainant still believes they are unsightly or otherwise inappropriate” for a residential area. on the other side of the argument, Rv owners state that the city’s rules are out of date and that many larger vehicles on the market today do not conform to the size and weight restrictions, according to the document. Staff will take council’s input and put together a report that will be presented at a future meeting. The rules for Rvs are fairly consistent in the rest of the Tri-Cities. In the city of Port Coquitlam, a vehicle cannot be parked in a residential neighbourhood if it is longer than 26 feet (7.9 m) or weighs more than 4,600 kg. In Port Moody, an oversized vehicle is considered anything longer than 6 m and taller than 2.3 m.

crime wave targets one Poco person before fleeing the scene. The woman has been targeted in several similar crimes, including five additional incidents at her home and an arson at her nail salon business on Prairie avenue at Coast Meridian Road on dec. 15. Coquitlam RCMP are investigating the blaze as suspicious.
The City has received an application to amend the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) relating to the properties located at 1435 – 1455 Argyle Street and 3475 – 3535 Highland Drive. The application proposes a redesignation for a portion of the properties from a combination of Large Village Single Family, Large Single Family and Estate Single Family to a combination of Small Village Single Family, Large Village Single Family, Large Single Family, Environmentally Sensitive Area and Neighbourhood Parks and Natural Open Space. If approved, the application would facilitate a proposed phased single-family development, the protection of environmentally sensitive areas (including the daylighting of West Smiling Creek), and the development of a road frontage for the southern boundary of Harper Park. You are now being invited to provide input to Council with respect to the above-noted application. The City of Coquitlam will be receiving the input requested herein up to Friday, January 27, 2017.

science road show is stopping at Fox Diane stranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
Terry fox secondary school in Port Coquitlam is throwing open its doors to the public feb. 2 to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday with a giant science exhibit, displays, presentations and hands-on activities. but if you think the Perimeter Institute’s Power of Ideas Tour stop is just an opportunity to get your geek on, think again. The Power of Ideas tour has something for everybody, says physics teacher Edward Csuka, who has spent the last nine months organizing the event. “I wanted to get everybody involved,” says Csuka, “I wanted it to be awesome. I wanted it to be the best science event the Tri-Cities has ever seen.” by the looks of it, he might not be far off the mark. Even a diverse group of students whose interests range from hockey to art to robotics believe the event will have great appeal to anyone who is curious about how things work. “It’s going to show the variety of ideas that are out there and shows how bright minds want to make things better,” said Nick Rakic, who built a rocket that fires hockey pucks to demonstrate force and motion for

The students say they are also excited about showcasing the talents of Terry fox students, many of whom will be performing or volunteering. Csuka said fox was tapped by the Perimeter Institute to host the Power of Ideas Tour for one of only three stops in the Lower Mainland because he is an alumni of a summer workshop at the institute for theoretical physics. The Power of Ideas exhibi-
tion will provide youth and families with a hands-on approach to learning about science. There will also be an inspiring talk about Canada’s scientific innovations and visitors can try out cutting edge technology to create their own inventions. fox student ali Javaherzadeh wants to use the 3d printer to create a model of an artificial heart he designed while ahmet Gurses is looking forward to having a theoretical physicist

lot of tides will splash up at Rocky Point before the owners of the adjacent historic flavelle sawmill site can realize their dream of building a waterfront community that could boost the city’s population by 20%. The scope of the project is stunning: 7,000 people and 3,397 residential units; mid-rises and highrises; live/work units and rental housing. It would take 20 to 25 years and there are a lot of considerations before plans can go ahead. Not only would the city have to amend its official community plan and rezone the property but Metrovancouver would have to permit land use changes while Port Metro vancouver would have to address concerns about a residential project so close to industrial development. as for jobs, the proponents say the project would create 1,000 jobs (many likely part-time), replacing the current 68 jobs that would relocate to a company mill in Surrey. Traffic would also be a problem, an overpass to Mary Street in Moody Centre is proposed but TransLink has been clear that there are no plans to build a western PoMo SkyTrain station for at least 30 years. Yes, big plans and plenty for Moody council to consider.

ew Year’s resolutions can be tricky to choose, let alone keep, but sometimes inspiration tips onto you and pins you to the floor like a stylish and affordable Ikea dresser. The dresser toppled its way into the news last week when brock and bowdy Shoff, twin toddlers from utah, managed to pull it down, pinning young brock underneath. Security camera video released by the boys’ father shows two-year-old bowdy surveying the situation — whilst crawling back on top of the empty dresser for a moment, as any helpful brother would do — before hopping off and heroically pushing it away from his screaming brother, freeing him from harm. It’s a stirring video that prompted an obvious New Year’s resolution for me: do less work around the house. Let me explain. When my eldest son was about three years old and my youngest just a baby, I read an article written by a parenting expert who heaped praise upon child-rearing techniques employed by parents in france, and one image stuck with me. The article described a french mother in her kitchen casually going about her adult french business — tasting
TC
wines, being unhelpful to tourists — while her four-yearold daughter quietly sat nearby preparing a tray of muffins for baking. other parenting textbooks advised including children in household chores from a young age so they’d grow up knowing that everyone has a responsibility to help out around the house. as your typical Canadian male, though, my home life generally consists of doing everything in my power to avoid housework. So, was this the solution for everything? Putting the kids to work? We could do that, I thought. We could raise our kids to be self-sufficient go-getters, calmly taking care of themselves while we went about our adult Canadian business of apologizing when other people bump into us and getting pucks to the net. When I read about the muffins, my mind raced as I envisioned my own son gaining the wherewithal in just one year’s time to take care of himself while also providing me with fresh baking. at that point in his life, the only things he was cooking up were new ways to sit on his baby brother, but that article gave me hope. one year later, I was shocked and saddened
to discover that not only was my son not able to raise himself, but he couldn’t bake worth a damn. I mean, there was that marble truffle cheesecake he made, but what was he thinking topping it off with lemon ganache? Non merci. but over the recent holiday break, my wife came up with the brilliant plan of tasking my son with preparing breakfast for himself and his little brother while we slept off a long night filled with Christmas cheer (sometimes known by its street name: wine). a few days later, I marvelled at the resolve both boys showed as they spent an hour chipping ice off the sidewalk and shovelling it clear. It was legitimately tough work, and they loved it. They even love to clean the house, when the mood strikes, and my six-year-old is actually much better at it than I am. Must be some sort of genetic mutation. So here’s the resolution: I’m going to selflessly encourage my children to grow and develop as responsible citizens by getting them to do more and more work around the house. I will continue to handle all steak-related duties, although I’ll leave it up to my wife to deal with what gets trapped under the covers. Change is in the air, folks. You can smell it.

Mentally ill need r’view
The Editor, I recently listened to audio of the Minister of Health Terry Lake describing the change in focus of mental health treatment in b.C. He talked about the new approach to mental health being deinstitutionalization with what he called “wraparound services.” Referencing Riverview Hospital, he said the days of “lock them up and force them to take treatment” are over. as I wrote in a previous letter to the editor, I worked at Riverview as a registered psychologist/assessment coordinator from 1981 until its closure in 2012. With respect, it is clear that Mr. Lake does not have a good understanding of the continuum of care provided at Riverview. during his time of being at Riverview, dr. John Higgenbottam and the staff adopted a new approach called “psychosocial rehabilitation.” Multi-disciplinary ward rounds were held once a week and reviewed each patient, including a psychologist, pharmacist, doctor/psychiatrist, nurse, social worker and vocational

Riverview served patients for decades and still has a role to play for the mentally ill, writes a former staff member. rehabilitation. a typical day for a patient would include four to five classes, graduating to a pre-vocational or vocational placement. There were three locked wards; one was an intensive care unit where patients needed to be protected from themselves or injury to others; two others tried to cope with patients who were very disturbed and sometimes violent to others. I am upset by Mr. Lake’s comments, as would Riverview staff who did such a fantastic
job of caring for our patients. He demeaned the very people who looked after these individuals. unfortunately the closing of Riverview Hospital has had many unfortunate unintended consequences, including people living in squalor on the downtown Eastside as well as New Westminster, Coquitlam, Surrey, abbotsford or wherever they can. The newest plan I can find for Riverview is a bC Housing document called a vision for Renewing Riverview (december
2015). The plans call for a breakeven mandate — i.e., all costs associated with Riverview will come from revenue generated from the property. The intent is to maximize the potential value of the Riverview lands. on page 5 of the document , it clearly states that housing on the site would be part of the new mandate. for example, in order to restore East Lawn building, it would require one of the following: building 80 single-family units at $885,000 each, or 450 townhouse units at $475,000 per unit, or building 500 condominiums at $320,000 per unit. additionally, there will be a commercial centre, and some unspecified amenities, Rich Coleman stated in an article in the tri-City News last february. With many former patients homeless, they are not receiving proper psychiatric care even though there are many dedicated professionals working with them. Housing once more on part of the Riverview site, perhaps Centre Lawn or other available areas, would provide best care for many of the most vulnerable ex-patients. Helen MacIsaac, Coquitlam

I am appalled at the number of people who do not clean up after their dogs, and I don’t understand why. It seems to have been especially worse during the snow season. Leaving dog poop lying around is unsanitary and disrespectful to our community, plus it is extremely unpleasant to be the one who step in it and take the remains home on your boots. We know when we get a dog the expectation is that we clean up after them. I’d love to see some letters to
Speak up! Comment on our stories on our Facebook page the editor explaining why people don’t think they have to clean up after their dogs. be a responsible dog owner, show some respect for your community and others, please pick up the dog poop. on a note to the city, a few more garbage cans along the dike for dog poop might encourage more reliable pickup.

The better business bureau serving mainland b.C. logged nearly 6,000 complaints last year, most of them for large businesses, and fielded more than two million inquiries through its website. The top 10 list of industries people griped about, according to a bbb press release, was led by parking lots and garages (218 complaints), followed by mainly big box electronics stores dealing in stereo systems (200 complaints) and new car dealers (144 complaints). “There are a lot of complaints in these industries that deal with contract issues, refund issues, and billing or payment problems,” said bbb spokesperson Evan Kelly in the release. “In other cases such as the moving industry, we find a plethora of delivery and timing
“there are a lot of complaints in these industries that deal with contract issues, refund issues, and billing or payment problems.”

Telephone service providers racked up 109 gripes, followed by furniture dealers (107), home decor (105), collection agencies (103), plumbers (102) and loans (95). Kelly said the advance-fee loan companies prompt complaints on a “weekly basis” but are more challenging to deal with “because these lending companies are fly-by-night and know full well they are scamming people.” The bbb also published its list of the top 10 types of businesses that people inquire about when looking for a service provider: • roofing contractors —
69,913 inquiries; • movers — 67,637; • plumbers — 65,235; • used car dealers — 56,433; • renovation contractors — 54,580; • heating contractors — 33,630; • general contractor — 33,447; • car repair — 29,112; • landscape contractors — 27,902; • and painters — 25,799.

Pipeline battle far from over: First nations tsleil-waututh, squamish reaffirm challenges
to stand together in their opposition to the $6.8-billion expansion, which would triple the Kinder Morgan pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day and result in a sevenfold increase in tanker traffic through vancouver harbour. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his government’s approval on Nov. 29, saying he believed the project was safe for b.C. and would help keep oil from travelling by rail across the country, at greater risk to communities. The b.C. government gave the green light last week. Premier Christy Clark said the company had met its five conditions for new oil pipeline construction, including b.C. getting its fair share of the project’s benefits and the company building a world-class

The federal and provincial governments may have approved the Trans Mountain pipeline extension but that doesn’t mean the fight is over, according to three first Nations that have launched legal challenges. “We are all finding legal means to try and get the decision overturned because of the inadequate consultation with first Nations,” Tsleil-Waututh Nation elected councillor Charlene aleck told reporters Tuesday in downtown
Katya Slepian/BlacK preSS
squamish nation Chief ian Campbell says the federal government completely failed to consult on the kinder Morgan pipeline. vancouver. “We all stand together to show that our main threat and concern is the salmon-bearing water.”
Members of the TsleilWaututh, Squamish Nation and Coldwater Indian band hosted the news conference
response system to spills. at least five first Nations have launched separate legal challenges against Kinder Morgan, aleck said. Coldwater Indian band Chief Lee Stahan said the pipeline route through its local aquifer is just feet away from creeks that his nation depends on for both drinking water and salmon. “The Crown acknowledged that if there was a spill or release from the pipeline, it would be impossible to remediate the aquifer to potable standards,” said Stahan. “We
would never be able to drink our water again but, unfortunately, Crown and Kinder Morgan failed to address this grave risk.” Squamish Nation Chief Ian Campbell said the way the decisions were made harkened back to the days when first Nations land rights were trampled over. “for the Squamish Nation, it is not the proponent’s obligation to consult, it is that of the Crown and the Crown has failed in their consultation with the Squamish Nation.” @triCityNews

‘santa Val’ was part of thousands of Christmases Val Johnson had been local mall santa for 20 years
He will be missed and we thank him for the many years he brought joy, laughter and, of course, that special smile to thousands of children (and adults) every Christmas.” Santa val leaves behind his wife Jeanette and four children — Katrina, aaron, Kyle and Nadja — as well as 10 grandchildren and one greatgrandchild.
Diane stranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
val Comba Johnson will always be remembered as Santa val by legions of children who sat on his lap and told him their Christmas wishes. a local treasure whose photograph and words of wisdom were published in the tri-City News a number of times over the years, Johnson died Jan. 12 at the age of 72. Santa val was one of the more popular Santas who worked at Coquitlam Centre over the holiday season, getting his photo taken tens of thousands of times over the years, with the result that his cheerful face is likely stored in hundreds of family photo albums, said Craig Hodge, a Coquitlam city councillor, who worked with Johnson for 12 years as a photographer. “Sitting on Santa val’s knee was like travelling to the North Pole and meeting the real Santa, and I’m sure those visits kept the magic of Christmas alive for extra years for many children,” said Hodge, noting that his family has photos of Santa val in their holiday collection. Johnson’s Christmas spirit was legendary, his son, aaron Johnson recalls, and families would come back year after year to have their picture taken with Santa val. “one family has 18 years of photographs taken with him,” he said. The younger Johnson said his father loved the holiday season even though it meant being away from his family a lot.
VAL CoMBA Johnson “In that regards, it was a tough schedule for him but he kept doing it because he liked getting the reaction from the children. He never complained at all, he never complained about crying children, he lived for the one or two children he saw every year that gave him such great joy.” according to a story in the tri-City News in 2008, Santa val appeared in more than 10,000 pictures and hosted at least 20,000 people on their laps in a single holiday season and, over his lifetime, it was estimated that Johnson had close to a quarter of a million people sit on his knee. “You have to really love children. You have to want to talk to them and, more importantly, you have to want to listen to them and pay attention to them, almost to the exclusion of everybody else,” said Santa val, who was a retired Pacific Press circulation route manager. “val Johnson was our Santa for nearly 20 years,” said doug Tannahill, Coquitlam Centre’s guest services and community relations manager in an email. “He was truly a special person who touched and enriched the lives of many of us at Coquitlam Centre and the Tri-Cities with his kindness, laughter and Christmas spirit.

registry for those who rent homes Renters can now distinguish better landlords from the crowd, according to Landlord bC. The organization opened a registry to keep track of landlords who have taken a twohour online course on the Residential Tenancy act, including issues such as how much notice is required when entering a tenant’s unit and how to maintain a good relationship with a tenant. Landlords who earn at least 80% during the course will be given an ‘I Rent It Right’ certificate and be added to a database that renters can search. You can find the registry at landlordbc. ca under quality assurance.

Centennial club present Barrie Seaton and past president Ron Goyette recently met with an elementary school principal to support the initiative — with Save-On-Foods on ottawa Street — and fill children’s backpacks on fridays. Seaton said the need is evident. “The more time we spent researching childhood hunger, the more we realized it was a much greater issue than we originally thought,” he said. Meanwhile, the club will host a music fest at Riverside secondary on feb. 26, from 2 to 9:30 p.m., to raise funds for the program. Tickets are $45 via the facebook page PoCo Winter blues festival and via the club’s website: pocorotary.ca.

appy New Year! Why not make 2017 the year you change your shopping habits, or eating habits, and support your local farmer’s market? Even in the dreary days of winter, the market is still a vibrant place to visit. fresh produce is available, along with meat, dairy and bread. There are still plenty of options for meal planning. Stewing, braising and baking are the go-to methods of food preparation at this time of year. With a bit of planning, it’s quite simple to have a week’s worth of meals prepped and ready to go, with market ingredients at the centre. a hearty soup can be a fast and easy dinner. Redl’s beef or Rockweld chicken offer bones for broth. Simply place the bones in a pot, cover with water and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat so the pot simmers gently for several hours. You can add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (Walter and Lisa over at the rainbow tent sell this) to
®
6 large, meaty short ribs 14 oz. tomato sauce ½ cup water ½ cup dry red wine (i would recommend a good red — after all, if it isn’t good enough to drink, why would you cook with it?) 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp basil 1 bay leaf 2 tbsp flour In a dutch oven, brown ribs well on all sides. add tomato sauce, water, wine, onion, salt, basil and bay leaf. Simmer, covered, until meat is tender, at least 90 minutes. Remove meat from sauce, place on platter, cover and keep warm. Remove bay leaf and skim fat from sauce. blend flour with ¼ cup cold water, stir into sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Spoon some sauce over meat, pouring the rest into a sauce boat to pass at the table. Sprinkle ribs with parsley. Serve with buttered egg noodles, a green salad and bread. help draw the nutrients from the bones. Strain the bones and keep all that lovely broth. You can roast the bones first for a deeper coloured stock. once you have your homemade stock, you can make all kinds of wonderful soups. or if you prefer, simply drink the broth. bone broth is a “thing” right now and contains two important amino acids — proline and glycine — in addition to minerals and collagen. Glycine supports detoxification and helps the body synthesize collagen. It aids in wound heal-
ing and supports the release of growth hormones. Proline tightens and builds cell structures, strengthening them. a strong collagen structure heals leaky guts, reduces the appearance of cellulite and improves the strength of skin and vein walls according to paleoleap. com. Personally, I prefer to add onions, carrots, celery and barley, and eat it with a spoon. another easy way to get the bones is to purchase bone-in meats, cook them for your meal and save the bones — then you
are getting two meals for the price of one. How about braised short ribs? or chicken thighs? braising is nothing more than cooking large pieces of browned meat in a small amount of liquid over a longer period of time. Wine and beer make great braising liquids and the market is a great place to find both. Macaroni and cheese is another great make-ahead dish. I quite often make a big pot of cheese sauce and freeze it in smaller containers so it’s ready when I need it. a blend of cheeses makes the best cheese sauce, and the goudas from Golden Ears can add some exciting flavour to the sauce. Serve up a dish of macaroni and cheese with a loaf of crusty bread from Gesundheit or focaccia from a bread affair, and dinner is ready. Casseroles are easy to make ahead and freeze, too. use some of the cheese sauce to make a potato and onion casserole. Take two cups of the cheese sauce and thin it with another cup of milk. Grease a 9x11 baking dish, cover the bottom with a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Next, place a layer of thinly slice onions on top, followed by some chopped kale. Pour half the cheese sauce over. Repeat the layers, finishing with the rest of the cheese sauce. at this point, the dish can be frozen. bake the casserole, covered, at 350 f for an hour or so. Remove the cover and continue baking until the top is nice and brown.
THE ROTARY CLUB TAKES ON HUNGER IN PORT COQUITLAM
Port Coquitlam Rotarians step up to combat hunger in local Elementary Schools The Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Centennial recently joined the Starfish Pack Program that will provide backpacks of food, so that needy children do not go to school hungry on Monday mornings, because their family did not have enough food to eat over the weekend. Recently, President Barrie Seaton and Past President Ron Goyette met with an elementary school principal to determine how their Rotary Club might be able to increase their community support programs within her particular institution. The discussions quickly turned to the issues that her elementary school was experiencing with students returning to school on Monday after having had little or no food over the weekend. Numerous recent studies have shown that children who are hungry and attend school, not having been provided with the proper amount of food to sustain mental and physical growth, exhibit learning and social integration difficulties, both in their youth and later in their adolescent lives. Almost immediately the Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Centennial began making plans to join the Starfish Pack Program, so they could help to alleviate this local community based issue of childhood hunger. President Barrie Seaton said “the more time we spent researching childhood hunger, the more we realized it was a much greater issue than we originally thought, and we knew as a group of Rotarians dedicated to making our community and the world a better place, we had a responsibility to try to overcome it to the best of our ability”. This program will of course require lots of support from both the local and business communities. The needy and deserving families are identified by the school teaching staff, and the Rotary club provides each of them with a backpack full of food every Friday afternoon, that the students take home, so they and their families will be able to eat a more balanced and varied diet over the weekend. The Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Centennial would also like to thank the Save-On Foods outlet on Ottawa Street for their support of the Starfish Pack Program. Right from the very first time we discussed it with store manager George Scibberas, he said, “We are privileged to be a part of the Starfish Pack Program, and to help improve the health and wellbeing of the needy children and families in our area”.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. You can also add thinly sliced ham or chicken to this.

VANCOUVER
THE KIRKLAND: Luxury Boutique Living in Historic Kerrisdale K
errisdale is one of Vancouver’s most sought-after and elegant neighbourhoods to live, work and indulge. With its rich history, Kerrisdale is noted as an upscale enclave of Westside Vancouver. Within this tree-lined, quaint area, with its popular and charming village, is where you will discover The Kirkland. The Kirkland is a luxury, boutique-style, five-storey concrete building showcasing an exquisite collection of 20 expansive two- and three-bedroom residences. The Kirkland embodies the evolution of the sophisticated transitional style fused with a nod to the neighbourhood’s rich history. “The Kirkland is integrating the original facade of the historic 1920s Kirkland Metal Shop into the new building,” says Leon Bogner, principal and founder of Bogner Development Group.
For Kerrisdale residents who are considering downsizing, but aren’t sure about condo living – no worries. “We made sure to design these condos so they truly feel like single-family homes,” adds the well-respected local developer, who has nearly five decades of building excellence. The impressive New York-style lobby welcomes you home in style, while the homes’ spacious and inviting interiors, ranging from 1,173 to 2,028 square feet, are full of light and boast exceptional finishes. The Kirkland features old-world craftsmanship and contemporary decor that discerning buyers want. Each sophisticated home will be showcased by engineered hardwood flooring throughout living space, grand entry cove with ceiling detail and individually controlled heating and airconditioning for year-round comfort.
The spacious master bedroom will feature walk-in closets with custom-designed organizer and an ensuite that will make one think they are in a five-star hotel bathroom. The kitchens guarantee to impress – they will feature European-inspired cabinetry, a Wolf integrated stainless-steel appliances package, as well as polished quartz countertops with matching backsplash. Outside, the private balconies and expansive terraces are a perfect extension of your new home. As one of the most distinguished neighbourhoods in Vancouver, you will find plenty of amenities including transit and recreational opportunities, all within easy walking or driving distance. Independent boutique shops, cafes and restaurants and easy access to transit are just a few of the reasons why you want to live at The Kirkland.
Mark your calendars: Join the team at The Kirkland to toast the New Year and the unprecedented success of The Kirkland on Sunday, January 29 from 11am to 1pm at the Kirkland Presentation Centre, with light refreshments provided. During this special event ONLY, there will be a limited-time offer of a pre-construction bonus on homes. For more information or to RSVP or the event, contact the sales team directly at 604-808-0886 or email info@thekirkland.ca. Act now, as more than 60 per cent of the homes are already sold. The presentation centre, located at 6178 East Boulevard, Vancouver, is open daily from noon to 5pm (except Fridays) or by appointment. For more information, call 604-808-0886, email info@thekirkland.ca or visit www.thekirkland.ca. Tentative occupancy is expected in fall/winter 2018.

Time to take extra care of indoor plants in THe GARden
Brian Minter
T
his is one of the worst times of the year for our indoor plants due to the extra warmth from heaters and fireplaces, and the low humidity inside our homes. The short daylight hours do not help either. Things get better as we inch along with increasing daylight but there are a number of important things we can do to get our plants back in shape. one of the most important, yet often overlooked, ways of helping our plants is to change the air inside our homes. open those doors and windows, even for a short while, to get some fresh air inside. a fresh supply of air is essential for plants, especially at this time of year. Even on the coldest days of winter, we always open the air vents of our greenhouses during the warmest part of the day to allow an exchange of air. The movement of air is also critical to prevent mildew and other fungal diseases. Many folks simply switch on the summer fan in their furnace but a small circulatory fan can do the job nicely. With both fresh air and air movement, you too will find the atmosphere in your home feels better. It is also time to give your plants a good shower. any dust that has collected on them creates an ideal breeding ground for pests. Washing it off with
a soft, warm shower is one of the best things you can do to promote their health. do not get the soil saturated, just wash the foliage. (This only applies to smooth leafed plants, not to violets and other flowering plants.) Your plants will be clean and fresh and the moisture will discourage spider mites. It might also be a good idea, once the plants are all in the shower, to spray them with a safe organic pesticide, such as Safer’s soap products. Preventative organic programs, when used on a regular basis, will prevent most pest problems. They should, however, be applied with a small pressure sprayer as the spray must completely cover all parts of the plant, especially the undersides of the leaves, if it is to be effective. and use only warm water when you spray to avoid shocking your plants. When you put your plants back in their traditional location, be sure to rotate them regularly so all sides of the plant receive light. at this time of year, it might be wise to keep them close to east or north windows or at least open the curtains wide to brighten your rooms. Extra lighting for 16 hours a day from Power Smart fixtures will also promote more vegetative growth on many plants. Proper watering is the most critical factor for the survival of all your plants. The only true way of telling if a plant needs water is by lifting the pot and feeling its weight. If the pot feels light, the plant needs water; if it feels heavy, do not water. at this time of year, you may only need to water two or three times per month but when you do, really soak your

plants thoroughly with warm water, then let them dry out. This only applies to rootbound plants. If your plants are not rootbound, downsize. I’m surprised so many folks are wanting to transplant their
indoor plants to larger pots at this time of year – don’t. Plants love to be rootbound in a smaller container, so no repotting should be done until at least mid-april when the growing cycle returns.
Plants that are under severe stress should be covered loosely with a clear, lightweight poly bag to create a micro-climate. Placing three or four bamboo stakes in the pot will help keep the poly off the leaves. Mist the plant frequently to increase humidity. You will be surprised to see how this treatment will improve the condition of your plants. This is especially true for citrus. This is one of the most difficult times of the year for our indoor plants and they do require some help. Please give them the attention they need now to get them through the rest of winter so that come
spring, they will bounce back with full, lush, healthy growth. If you want to introduce some fresh life to your home by adding new tropicals, there are some very low-light tolerant and resilient plants. The entire dracaena family, especially the dragon plant (dracaena marginata), is tops. Philodendrons, from the low spreading P. selloum and the staked and narrow pothos to the many new and colourful lime and burgundy varieties, are attractive and easy. The peace lily, with its elegant white flowers, the spiky sansevieria and the beautifully coloured foliage of ctenanthe are also amazing.

The Tri-CiTy News
The Port Moody Panthers made a flurry of roster moves ahead of the PJHL trade deadline last week. The team sent Keito Lee to the Grandview Steelers in exchange for Christian bettiol and moved the junior rights to goaltender brendan Henderson to the fernie Ghostriders of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League for future considerations. Lee, 19, has been with the team for three season, where he has amassed 75 points in 99 career games. He was
recently selected to represent the Tom Shaw Conference at the 2017 PJHL all-Star Game, which took place on Monday at the burnaby Winter Club, along with Port Moody players alex McGovern and daniel Szpakowski. The Panthers will hope to make up Lee’s points with the addition bettiol, who is in his second year with the Steelers, where he has scored 10 goals and seven assists in 33 games, a total that puts him in fourth place for points on the Port Moody roster. Meanwhile, Henderson had only been with the club for a few weeks. The 19-year-old was picked up from 10 Mile House of the KIJHL earlier this

month, but didn’t get a chance to suit up with the team. The Cats also released forward Kyle ahlfield, a 17-yearold forward who the team said is expected to return to the Seafair association where he will continue playing midget hockey. Port Moody is still in striking distance of a playoff spot, five points behind the North vancouver Wolf Pack in the Tom Shaw Conference standings. Last Saturday, the Panthers defeated the Mission City outlaws 6-5 in overtime. Szpakowski scored two short-handed goals — one in the first period and another in
the second — before the visitors could get on the board. Chong Min Lee added another for the Panthers, who looked to be pulling away in the later half of the middle frame, when Maximilian Corazza and Marcus Sihota potted goals to make it 5-2. but the outlaws still had some fight left in them, thanks to the play of Nicholas bizzutto, who scored back-to-back-goals 30 seconds apart to make it 5-4 going into the final period. Mission’s Kyle Mooney scored an unassisted goal in the third to force overtime, but Lee struck again for Port Moody in the extra period to lock up the the Cats’ 14th win.

It is with sadness that we announce the sudden and peaceful passing of Gunter Klaus Poppe born in Zwethau, Germany. He is predeceased by his wife, Gertraud Poppe. He is survived by his 6 children: Gunter (Shirline), Alfred, Ingrid, Martin, Roy (Ayu), and Glen (Diane); his grandchildren: Krista, Ron, Amy, Emeral, Nicole, Roni, Jasio, Ayutik, Talyah, Denny, and Richard; and great grandchild, Amisha. Gunter immigrated to Canada in 1952, after he spent 4 years in Canada as a POW during the 2nd World War, and married Gertraud in November of that year. He loved the great outdoors, enjoyed nature and all living things. After retiring at the age of 67 from his long career as a welder, he spent his time hiking the local mountain trails, enjoyed many political discussions with family and friends, always very interested in world news, lived a healthy life and enjoyed time with his many grandchildren. He was always ready to provide advice on a wide variety of topics and was very knowledgeable from being an avid reader. You are loved and will be missed (and we’ll miss your many stories!). Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
