Careful, cougars out there Cougars spotted in Coquitlam and Port Moody recently Diane StranDberg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Port Moody professional hockey player Wade MacLeod and his wife, Karly, are keeping a positive outlook that he’ll be able to return to his career after he recovers from his third and fourth surgeries last summer to deal with a Grade 3 Glioblastoma tumour that has recurred in his brain.

A cougar that lunged towards a man and a leashed dog in the 600-block of Falcon Drive in Port Moody last Saturday is a reminder to keep pets safe, a BC Conservation Officer says. Sgt. Todd Hunter said the man was walking his dog when he was confronted by the cougar but the big cat quickly left and the area was deemed safe by conservation officers who visited. “The cougar lunged at them — it probably realized something was wrong by the movement of the person and the dog and it turned and took off,” Hunter told The Tri-City News. A search of the area didn’t turn up any animal carcasses

or prey that would have kept the animal in the area but Hunter said conservation officers are still monitoring calls of cougar sightings, which have been reported in Port Moody and Coquitlam. Still, officers will only respond to reports of aggressive and threatening behaviour, Hunter said. “We don’t believe there is any attention or focus to people. It’s likely it’s’ preying on smaller animals,” Hunter said, pointing out that it’s important that people don’t leave their pets in their yards unattended, especially if they live near a greenbelt. “It’s great we live in areas where we can interact but we need to be aware of ways to avoid a confrontation.” This is the time of year when cougar sightings are more common, especially if snow in the mountains is making it difficult for the big cats to find prey. see

Left: Windstorms and weather events have been a significant driver of call volume for local fire departments. Right: A record-breaking 12,000 square kilometre burned in B.C. in 2017, forcing 65,000 people from their homes. But that record did not stand for long — in 2018, close to 13,000 sq. km burned.

Climate change and the city: Emergency services plans, costs Municipalities have for years grappled with ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to battle climate change. But the effects of rising temperatures are already being felt and cities are beginning the process of adapting to more frequent and intense weather events. In this series, The Tri-City News looks at the policies and procedures Coquitlam, PoCo and Port Moody are putting in place to deal with the fallout of our changing climate. The final part of this series focuses on emergency services.

ore erratic and intense weather events have kept firefighters busy in the TriCities over the last few years. The latest windstorm last Dec. 20, for example, was the busiest night of 2018 for Coquitlam/Fire Rescue —

“We had over 40 calls that night,” Coquitlam Fire Chief Jim Ogloff told The Tri-City News — and first responders are being increasingly called upon to deal with downed power lines and falling trees. Ogloff said weather events have been a significant driver of call volume, a trend that does not appear to be slowing down any time soon. “I think the meteorologists will say that these incidents tend to be coming at us more frequently,” he said. Alex Boston, the executive director of Simon Fraser University’s Renewable Cities program, said communities

“I think the meteorologists will say that these incidents tend to be coming at us more frequently.”

Jim Ogloff Chief, Coquitlam Fire/Rescue

are going to have to rethink how they budget for fire and emergency services as all of the scientific models point to a future with more frequent and severe wind events. This will put pressure on municipal budgets and make it difficult for cities to predict how much money to allocate for weather responses in a given year, he said. “The historical record is no longer useful in informing the future,” Boston told The Tri-City News. “We are going to have way more erratic years and way more intensity.” see

FORTISBC PROJeCT: wORk SCheDULe Be patient. Expect delays. That’s the advice from the city of Coquitlam’s transportation manager as FortisBC prepares to dig up the middle of Como Lake Avenue starting next week. The eight-month project to replace an aging 20-inch gas line is due to start Monday in Burquitlam, likely causing traffic woes for the 27,000 motorists who now use Como Lake Avenue daily as well as its adjacent residents and businesses. But Dan Mooney told The Tri-City News the city is ready for the congestion and is telling commuters to use alternate east-west routes instead: Lougheed Highway, Austin Avenue or St. Johns Street. For months, FortisBC has had notifications out and held open houses to alert people who will be inconvenienced by the work along the 5.5-km stretch; it has also placed reader boards around the TriCities to give warning and to direct drivers to detours. Here’s what’s happening: From March to April, crews will be at three locations along Como Lake Avenue to lay a new 30-inch steel pipe along

• Monday to Friday: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. • Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. • Sundays: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (with a permit)

OTheR TRI-CITY ROAD PROJeCTS

Dan Mooney, Coquitlam’s transportation manager, at the intersection of Como Lake Avenue and North Road, the area where FortisBC will start digging up first to replace its aging gas line. The work begins Monday, March 11. JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

the centre of the road, from North Road to Porter Street. During that time, the curb lanes will be open. Mooney said the work zones will be staggered every 200 metres to give commuters some relief. After that first phase is complete, the work will move further east in stages again until it reaches the FortisBC station at Como Lake Avenue and Mariner Way (the city has asked FortisBC to not work between Baker Drive and Mariner, near Dr. Charles Best secondary, until the summer, when school is out). Commuters can expect

additional delays on garbage collection days for homeowners living on Como Lake Avenue, and for public transit pick-ups and drop-offs. Mooney urges drivers to steer clear of Thermal Drive and use Mariner Way instead to get to their destination: Mariner has four lanes versus Thermal’s two and cameras so the city’s traffic managers can control the traffic lights during the morning and afternoon rush hours and ease the flow. As well, Mooney said the city has put its capital works program for central Coquitlam east-west routes on hold until the FortisBC

work is done, and it is liaising with developers like Marcon and Beedie to ensure their residential/commercial projects don’t further jam up Como Lake and Austin. In Port Moody, the city is also making adjustments to its construction project schedule “to ensure traffic disruptions for Port Moody residents and motorists are minimized,” said Kim Law, the city’s manager of project delivery. Still, Mooney said he expects retailers at Como Lake Village, the Chevron gas station at Poirier Street and the strip mall next door to be hit the hardest with the dig.

The imminent dig along Coquitlam’s Como Lake Avenue won’t be the only major roadwork project causing headaches for drivers in the Tri-Cities: • In Port Coquitlam, detours are in place along Kingsway Avenue until mid-March as crews install new sanitary lines around the West Coast Express station and the PoCo recreation complex rebuild (info: portcoquitlam.ca); • and in Port Moody, Gatensbury Road, from Grant Street to Bartlett Avenue, is shut to commuters (except resident traffic) until May for reconstruction and utility upgrades (info: portmoody.ca). “This kind of thing can be devastating to local businesses,” he said, “but this is temporary.” As well, side streets — especially those to the south of Como Lake Avenue — will likely take the brunt of ratrunning commuters. Mooney said the city will watch the action closely. “Safety is paramount for us,” he said, “so we advise people to have patience and allow for extra time.” The Como Lake work is one part in FortisBC’s 20-km project that began in Vancouver

and has been making its way through Burnaby over the past year. “We want to thank the community for its patience and understanding as we complete gas line construction safely and as quickly as possible,” FortisBC spokesperson Alex Munro told The Tri-City News Wednesday. “This important upgrade will ensure more than 210,000 homes and businesses across the Lower Mainland continue to receive the natural gas they count on every day, including more than 30,000 in Coquitlam.”

PoCo walkway is named for Forrest Mayor gives former councillor cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest honour Janis Cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Port Coquitlam has a new freeman of the city. Mayor Brad West bestowed the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest honour last Friday on Mike Forrest in recognition of his 18 years on council and many more years of community service. A third-generation resident and mariner, Forrest will also see his name on the Citadel Landing boardwalk that overlooks one of his favourite views. Forrest was an elected official from 2000 to October 2018, when he failed to get re-elected.

The city presentation at the Gathering Place March 1 included speeches from city councillors, former mayor Greg Moore, former city administrator John Leeburn and PoCo MLA Mike Farnworth, all of whom spoke highly of Forrestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civic accomplishments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m absolutely overwhelmed with the honour this evening and the walkway being dedicated to me along the river as it is a part of who I am and where I come from,â&#x20AC;? Forrest said at the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Port Coquitlam is our hometown and Karen and I look forward to continuing to be actively involved in promoting community spirit.â&#x20AC;?Â Since 2013, 10 people have received the freedom of the city, which entitles them to a plaque and free admission to city recreation facilities.

Two projects that would add another 5,000 residents to Port Coquitlam were pitched by developers last week. At the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feb. 26 committee of council, Marwest Development Corp. and Quantum Properties presented preliminary designs of their residential and commercial proposals. Neither bid has been officially submitted for council consideration. Marwest plans to replace PoCo Place â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a mall built in 1980 at the corner of Lougheed Highway and Westwood Street, where Michaels and Pomme are located â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with about 1,000 new homes in three highrises as well as townhouses. Marwest also plans to double the amount of retail space and add 75,000 sq. ft. of office space plus a public market and an underground parkade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about building in a vibrancy and walkability while respecting the householders in the neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;? said Stephen Bugbee, a partner with Zeidler Architecture, which represented Marwest at the committee meeting.

Plans for the future of PoCo Place mall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including highrises, townhomes, retail and commercial space â&#x20AC;&#x201D; went to PoCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee of council Feb. 26. JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Bugbee said if the proposal goes ahead, Marwest would look at affordable and accessible housing options, especially for seniors, with 25% of its stock for rent. Mayor Brad West suggested Marwest also consider building larger homes for families. The company still has much work to do with its concept, Bugbee said, and a traffic study will also look at future development and vehicle flows on the other side of Westwood Street, inside Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s border. Congestion at the intersection â&#x20AC;&#x153;is already a nightmare,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Dean Washington said, and will only get worse with additional residents and shoppers. Meanwhile, on the east end of town, Quantum Properties is eyeing another 1,000 homes for a waterfront community along

the Pitt River. Quantum president and CEO Diane Delves spoke about the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to build on the former Wild Duck Inn site and surrounding lands for a marine commercial-focused development at 750 Kingsway Ave. If approved, it would include a boardwalk, restaurant, daycare, public boat launch, and other marine-related amenities. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;complexâ&#x20AC;? proposal would involve a number of government approvals while the area requires dredging, Delves added. As well, future residents and shoppers would need to drive into the site, around the western base of the Pitt River Bridge. Committee members said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about access, should the development

move forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if this is the right area for high density,â&#x20AC;? Mayor West said, noting services and schools arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is that the cost of fixing the site is so significant that, to make the economics work, it requires a number of homes.â&#x20AC;? West, who is vice chair of Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Industrial Lands Strategy Task Force, also said industrial sites are disappearing and the region needs to safeguard larger properties to secure well-paying jobs. If approved by council, the Marwest and Quantum proposals would add about 5,000 more residents to PoCo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same number of new residents that came into the downtown over the past decade when council rezoned the core for high density.

Townhouses fail to get first reading

Accidental 911 calls a burden on PoMo police

mario bartel mbartel@tricitynews.com

A proposal to build 45 townhomes on six properties along St. George Street in Port Moody is “far too dense,” with not enough green space, say city councillors who rejected the project at their meeting last week. The project, by Marcon Properties, would have also included the restoration and preservation of the Johnston Residence, at the corner of Moody and St. George streets., that was built in 1911 by former alderman William Thomas Johnston and his wife, Lulie. But Coun. Hunter Madsen said the revitalization of that house, and adding it to the city’s heritage register, isn’t enough return to the city for a project that would comprise six additional three-storey buildings clustered around an internal walkway. “This project crosses a line,” he said at the Feb. 26 meeting. “There’s too much crowding, too little green space and that causes liveability problems.” But Coun. Diana Dilworth said the development, with a mix of three- and fourbedroom units, including one with a lock-off secondary suite, is exactly what the city should be striving to get built, especially in close proximity

to its SkyTrain stations. “This is a very unique situation, building around a heritage home,” Dilworth said, adding previous proposals to build townhomes offered less green space. Still, Mayor Rob Vagramov criticized the proposal for being too dense even though it’s located in Port Moody’s transit-oriented development zone, which encourages higher-density living. “We’re being asked here is to cram so many people into that site,” he said. “Having such an over-the-top dense development, there’s no way I could support something like that.” Coun. Meghan Lahti said while she had “some reservations, I also see a lot of real positive about [the proposal].” She said she would have liked to at least have the chance to gauge public opinion by seeing it go forward to a public hearing. Councillors Dilworth, Lahti and Amy Lubik voted in favour of giving the proposal first reading, which would have seen it proceed to public hearing, while Mayor Vagramov and councillors Madsen and Steve Milani voted against. With Coun. Zoe Royer absent from the meeting, the proposal was defeated with the tie vote.

PMPD also report an 11.5% drop in property crime in 2018

AVOiD AcciDEntAL 911 cALLs BUt iF YOU DO MAkE OnE... What’s the best thing to do if you’ve accidentally dialled 911? • Stay on the line and explain to the 911 dispatcher it was an accident. • If you’ve hung up, don’t be nervous, just answer the callback. • Stay where you are if asked. Sometimes, officers have to personally verify your safety before they can move on to the next important call. To avoid accidentally making a 911 call: • Protect your cellphone by locking and storing it carefully. Keep it in a safe position when not in use and use a case or holster to protect it. • Use your cellphone’s key lock to help prevent accidental calls. • Don’t program 911 into any telephone — speed dials can cause accidental 911 calls. • Do not test 911 to see if it’s working. – source: Port Moody Police Department

Diane StranDberg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Pocket dialling 911 is a problem for Port Moody Police Department, whose officers are forced to chase down accidental calls to determine whether there is an emergency. In the past year, false or abandoned 911 calls have increased by 45%, potentially resulting in a waste of emergency resources, according to Const. Jason Maschke, PMPD’s community relations officer. He said if someone accidentally calls 911, they shouldn’t be afraid to stay on the line “because otherwise, we are going to call back. So please let us know where you are so we know you are safe.” “It takes much longer for us to be circling the block to make sure there is nobody in any kind of danger,” Maschke said. The hike in calls was identified in 2018 year-end statistics and showed that pocket dialling — likely from uncovered phones where an emergency button can be

pressed by accident on the passcode screen — was a big problem. But while pocket dialling is up, a number of other complaints is down, including a 60% drop in mail theft, likely due to police shutting down

a number of Lower Mainland mail theft rings. PMPD also report an 11.5% drop in property crime over 2017 numbers, a 7% drop in theft from automobiles and a 43% drop in break and enters. Mental health calls are up by 8.3%, possibly the result of more cases being handled by a mental health officer, and there were 24 bicycle thefts last year, leading to plans to establish a bicycle registration program. In other news, traffic en-

forcement remained a department priority in 2018, with approximately 4,500 drivers receiving either a written warning or a violation ticket — a 35% increase over 2017. Many many other drivers were stopped but received a verbal warning, according to PMPD. Enforcement against impaired drivers also remained a focus, with 23% more impaired drivers removed from the road, according to PMPD statistics.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

W E E K LY O N L I N E P O L L

He was wrong about renting, he’s wrong about student loans

Last Week

Wilkinson’s recent comments show he’s out of touch THE TRI-CITY NEWS newsroom@tricitynews.com

C Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson can’t catch a break — and it’s his own fault. One moment, he’s excoriated for his comments about renters — for which he apologized, although even that was late, after he attempted to power through the controversy by spinning talking points — and now his comments about interest-free student loans have people in a tizzy on social media. Wilkinson apparently raised the ire of mostly NDP MLAs about his concerns about students racking up all kinds of debt if loans are interest-free

after the NDP government eliminated the interest on B.C. student loans effective Feb. 19. Is he right about that? Would students go crazy and hit the bars, restaurants and online shopping sites now that loans are interest free? Hardly. First, those who have loans still had to pay interest until Feb. 19 (at the prime rate, currently, 3.95%) plus they will still have to pay interest on the Canada Student Loan portion, as much as 7% or more depending on the type of loan. Those are still substantial interest rates, and while Wilkinson is understandably warning about problematic debt, he can surely admit that a break on B.C. student loans can only help. The previous BC Liberal government could have cancelled the interest sooner but it wasn’t a priority, especially since for a

ANDREW WILKINSON

number of years, interest rates were low. They are not low now and they are climbing. If students can get a bit of a break on their debt, they will be better placed to move on with their lives once they graduate, and we think it’s the government’s job to ensure that post-secondary education is affordable. As for students starting out

racking up a lot of debt, we think that won’t happen needlessly. It’s not easy to get a student loan — there are all sorts of requirements, parents are expected to kick in a portion and their assets are part of the documentation. Still, it’s important that students look at the long term and whether the degree they are getting will generate the job — and the income — to pay off the debt they may incur. Nobody likes to hear about school debt killing the future of young people who are already facing high housing costs and higher fees on everything from car insurance to electricity to gas. If Wilkinson wants to tackle affordability issues for young people, he has to understand students’ current experience, not make flippant comments based on his own outdated views and partisan politicking.

PORT MOODY

Big backwards step in Port Moody The Editor, Port Moody council took a step backwards Feb. 26 when it rejected the terrible thought of actually sending a development application to public hearing to get community input. The perceived monstrosity in question was a 45-unit townhouse development in the 2800-block of St. George Street. Marcon was the applicant and this project looked to restore and sell a heritage house on the corner of Moody and St. George streets and add 45 townhouses 500 metres from an Evergreen Extension station — a station with among the lowest ridership in the SkyTrain network. The applicant had also proposed a public space on the

corner of Hope and St. George. Although a development like this isn’t something I would like on every block, it seemed appealing in many ways to the councillors. But Mayor Rob Vagramov and councillors Steve Milani and Hunter Madsen wanted less density and more green space.

Well, don’t we all? Who knows, as the community will not be heard. Additionally, I wonder if the councillors realize every time they ask for something else, prospective owners will be digging deeper into their wallets. Marcon had already gone to Moody’s Community Planning Advisory Committee (CPAC) and hosted a community consultation and received some feedback — positive and negative — then made some small changes. Apparently, that wasn’t enough for local residents to even have an opportunity to express an opinion. Meanwhile, council members expressed theirs: Coun. Madsen was critical, saying

he wanted half the units and more greenspace. Wow, that will help affordability, whatever that is these days. Mayor Vagramov said it wasn’t transit oriented. Um, OK. And Coun. Milani quoted stats from a blog rather than city staff. I encourage residents to walk by the south side of the 2800-block of St. George to see what a vibrant area it isn’t right now. Better yet, do it after dark from the SkyTrain station that has maybe a dozen vehicles in the parking lot after 6:30 p.m. I hope Marcon comes back with an even better proposal but, in the meantime, Moody Centre will not Port Moody’s centre anytime soon. Mitch Williams, Port Moody

KUDOS ON WEED The Editor, Kudos to Port Moody city council for supporting cannabis retail outlets and establishing sensible requirements governing this industry. In a rare triumph of science and logic, council largely dismissed results from a flawed survey process that revealed continued misunderstanding and misinformation around this topic. Mayor Rob Vagramov astutely recognized both the misleading summary data on buffer zones and the limited reasoning defining such zones in the first place while Coun. Steve Milani correctly raised the concern that opinions from approximately 3% of the population should not drive bylaw creation. I look forward to Port Moody council’s continued good work on complex issues in the future. Ronald Gordon, Port Moody

WADE MACLEOD

Fighting, yet again, to get back on the ice PoMo pro hockey player recovering from latest tumour

“It drives my strength and positivity more than you can imagine.”

MAriO BArtEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Wade MacLeod on messages of support on his GoFundMe page

Wade MacLeod loves the view from the Port Moody condo he shares with his wife, Karly, and their 17-month-old daughter, Ava James. Looking out the expansive windows of their living room to the snow-peaked mountains and the twinkling waters of Burrard Inlet far below is therapeutic, MacLeod says. But as beautiful as the sights are from the condo, it’s not where he should be spending the waning weeks of winter. MacLeod and his young family were supposed to be back in Germany, where the 32-year-old Coquitlam native was looking to build on the point-a-game pace he posted last year as a professional hockey player with the Frankfurt Lions. But two surgeries within two months last summer to remove a Grade 3 glioblastoma tumour

Wade MacLeod and wife Karly take in the view from their Port Moody condo. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

MacLeod’s tumour was first diagnosed after he collapsed on the ice during a game in Springfield, Mass., where he was playing his second season as a pro after competing for four years with Northeastern University in Boston. Doctors removed a golf ball-sized noncancerous tumour from the left side of his brain and he temporarily lost the ability to speak. Speech therapy got that back and extensive rehab allowed MacLeod to return to the ice, this time with a team in the East Coast Hockey League, a rung down pro puck’s minorprofessional ladder. He knocked

in his brain that had recurred for a third time derailed that dream. MacLeod hopes he can get his playing career back on track and the results of his latest MRI that showed no further growth of the disease have fuelled his optimism. In fact, it’s that positive outlook that helped get MacLeod back on the ice after two previous encounters with cancer, said Karly MacLeod, who’s also from Coquitlam. “No matter how many times he’s knocked down, he’ll get up again and go for it,” she told The Tri-City News.

around various outposts, from Indiana to Idaho, including a 34-game stint with the Toronto Marlies, the Maple Leafs’ American Hockey League farm team, then headed to Germany. It was after a 61-point season with the Rosenheim Star Bulls, a second-division pro team, that his disease reasserted itself. MacLeod underwent a second surgery in September 2016, then worked his way back to the ice the following March, with another ECHL club in Allen, Tex. He scored 13 points in 13 games and, in September 2017, signed with Frankfurt. Going back to Germany, this time to Dresden with their newborn daughter, was supposed to be the time of their lives, Karly MacLeod said. “Then everything changed.” MacLeod took the latest diagnosis in stride. “It is what it is,” he said, then

set about doing whatever he had to do to get better again and return to the ice. Currently in the midst of a six-month course of chemotherapy, MacLeod hooked up with Port Moody Integrated Health to plot a holistic path that includes speech therapy — last summer’s operations again affected his ability to speak — as well as occupational and physical therapy. As well, both Wade and Karly work with a sports psychologist to deal with the mental and emotional challenges of his disease. A fundraising campaign launched on the crowdsourcing website gofundme.com last August by MacLeod’s friend Mike Armstrong has raised almost $125,000 so far, making much of the supplementary care possible after the Dresden team cut his contract following his diagnosis.

More importantly, MacLeod said, he receives messages of support that are posted on the site from every way station on his journey through hockey. “It drives my strength and positivity more than you can imagine,” MacLeod said, adding his whole family was brought to tears when they first started seeing the donations and messages come in as he recovered from his fourth surgery. While some treatment days can be long and gruelling, he said he has been able to gain a new appreciation for life’s small moments, playing catch with his daughter (“She has a wicked spiral,” he said), or the beauty around him during walks along Port Moody’s Shoreline Trail. MacLeod was last on the ice in December, at a stick-andpuck session with his brother and brother-in-law. He said the feeling of holding the stick in his hands, gliding around the ice, chasing down the puck, was “unbelievable.” He can’t wait to get that feeling back. Again. • To donate to the campaign to help Wade MacLeod, go to gofundme.com/wade039streatment-fund.

SD43 China trip is on hold – for now

Little Paws fears theft could lead to scams

Tensions between Canada and China leads to decision

Dog rescue society’s donation box stolen from a vet’s office

DIane STRanDbeRg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

A planned trip to China for School District 43 trustees remains on hold while officials wait for a change in the security risk for travellers. Board chair Barb Hobson said the trip, which was to have taken place this month, has been postponed and the situation continues to be monitored. “We will go when it’s the right time. I’m not predicting when that will be,” said Hobson, a Coquitlam trustee. She said nothing had to be cancelled and there is no concern about offending Chinese authorities because no meetings or other details had been finalized. “We hadn’t firmed up

anything,” Hobson told The Tri-City News. The trip to China, paid for by the Chinese government through its education arm, Hanban, is an annual event to bolster relations between education officials of the two countries, and promote SD43’s international education program. Currently, SD43 has the largest program in B.C., with Chinese students making up a large proportion of the approximately 2,000 foreign students who attend school here. It could be some time before there is a thaw in the relations between the Chinese and Canadian governments. This week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denied Chinese claims that two detained Canadians had collaborated on stealing state secrets at the same time a warning to Canadians travelling to China has not been relaxed since it was issued in mid-January.

Canadian visitors to China continue to be urged to “exercise a high degree of caution due to the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws.” It is believed that former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor were detained in retaliation for the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies, at the request of the U.S., which wants to extradite her to face fraud charges. Last Friday, the Canadian department of justice issued a release stating that it would formally commence extradition proceedings in Wanzhou’s case. In the meantime, Wanzhou has launched a civil suit, claiming that she was not properly notified of the reason for her arrest when she was detained at the Vancouver International Airport. — files from Canadian Press

for us,” Beaton said. Losing the money and the box, which was handmade by a volunteer, is disappointing, Beaton said, because fundraising is crucial to the agency, which adopts out small dogs left behind due to divorces, deaths, illness and other life circumstances. More worrisome, however, is the possibility that someone is using the items to go doorto-door collecting money in the organization’s name. “We don’t go door to door,” Beaton said, “We never have to beg, steal or borrow because we are so well supported and well-recognized.” Little Paws obtains dogs from B.C. owners, fosters them a local home, then advertises their availability. Adoption fees help cover the costs of caring for the dogs, including medical visits and dental work. • For more information about the society and adoptable dogs, visit littlepawsrescue.ca or find the group on Facebook.

Hot, dry summers worsen effects of winter storms continued from page

And Coquitlam’s Ogloff is not the only fire chief in the Tri-Cities that has noticed an uptick in weather-related calls. Port Coquitlam Fire Chief Nick Delmonico said storm responses continued to rise in 2018, following a trend he has seen over the last few years. “It has slowly been getting worse and worse,” he said. “We have to take that into account with planning. We are going to get these wind events.” The longer, drier summers appear to be exacerbating the situation, Delmonico said, pointing to a windstorm in 2015 that came after a particularly hot July and August. Because there was so little moisture, trees snapped like twigs, he said, blocking roads and knocking out power to 400,000 residents. The storms appear to be coming at different times and from different directions “so the trees aren’t handling it as

well,” Delmonico said. His department has also seen a rise in the number of brush fires it deals with, something he attributes to the hotter and drier summer periods. As well, Tri-City fire resources are increasingly being utilized to battle blazes in other communities around the province. Lower Mainland firefighters

are routinely called to the B.C. Interior during the summer, where wildfires have become particularly severe over the last few seasons. According to a recent report from Environment and Climate Change Canada, “human-induced climate change had a strong impact on forest fires in British Columbia” in 2017. The document notes a

record-breaking 12,000 square kilometres burned in B.C. that season, forcing 65,000 people from their homes. Just a year later, last summer, that record was broken when close to 13,000 sq. km burned. Now-retired Port Moody assistant chief Gord Parker was one of the locals tasked with co-ordinating the fire response in the Interior. In 2017, for example, he spent 40 days as part of the provincial fire suppression effort in an area west of Kamloops. That same year Coquitlam Fire and Rescue also deployed resources, including two of its sprinkler protection units, for a total of 67 days. It all adds up to a pretty big bill for the provincial government, said PoCo’s Delmonico. “There have been a number of different studies done based on what is happening in the Interior,” he said. “If you look at the provincial wildfire budget, it has been going up in leaps and bounds for a number of years.”

When snow melts, cougars will head home continued from front page

They travel down forested ravines and creeks in search of small animals, such as raccoons or deer, Hunter said, and occasionally venture into populated areas in search of food. Cougars will likely head back up the mountains in the spring, once the snow begins to melt. Still, it’s important for people to ensure they have nothing in their yard to attract animals — from food waste to bird seed — because anything that attracts rats will also bring larger animals into your neighbourhood. “The bottom line is people must manage their attractants or any kind of food waste, or bird feed to the lowest form so it’s not accessible to vermin or ev-

In PoMo, Heritage Mountain secondary and Eagle Mountain middle schools report cougar sightings near Pleasantside, and in Coquitlam, cougars have been spotted in the Hoy Creek trail area, between Walton elementary school, Pinetree secondary and Douglas College.

20th century fashion Ivan Sayers returns with historical outfits for society fundraiser janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Models wearing outfits demonstrating how fashion fluctuated from the 1900s to ‘90s will sashay down a Coquitlam catwalk this month for a fundraiser. Vancouver fashion historian Ivan Sayers will highlight up to 18 garments from his vast collection for the Coquitlam Heritage Society show, to be held on March 30. It’s the second time Sayers has hosted a fashion event for the society to link with its exhibit at Mackin House; the current display is called Heirlooms & Treasures. On Monday at Mackin House, where Sayers was sorting through garments for the society’s next exhibit honouring war service at home, Sayers said he picks up his pieces from various thrift and vintage shops, and families. Still, it won’t just be gowns he’ll feature in the upcoming fashion show at the All Saints Parish Hall (821 Fairfax St., Coquitlam): Sayers will also provide a set of blue stained Frontliner-brand overalls — complete with a plastic “V” for Victory maple leaf lapel — to illustrate how Canadian women played a part in the Second World War effort. For tickets to the fashion show at $40, call 604-516-6151 or visit coquitlamheritage.ca/.

It’s a far cry from what it used to be. From its birthplace in a crammed room at the bottom of city hall, Coquitlam Archives is now in its second stage of life — located in a well-lit, open space at one of the city’s busiest corners. And, best of all, said archivist Emily Lonie, who launched the program six years ago, “everything is now in one place.” During a tour last Friday of

the facility, sited in the same building as the City Centre branch of the Coquitlam Public Library, at 1171 Pinetree Way, Lonie explained its benefits to residents — especially those living in heritage homes — students, developers and history buffs. The 1,500 sq. ft. area is split in three: with a reading room at the front that includes two scanners; a printing section for documents; and a locked 550 sq. ft. vault that’s temperature controlled. Inside, in many Hollinger storage boxes, are rows and rows of documents from Coquitlam’s past. There are bounded issues from the now-defunct Coquitlam Now as well as The see

Sun Songs jazz album up for a Juno award Nomination came after death of mom, and fellow musician janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Jodi Proznick can’t believe the musicians she’s up against for a Juno award. Diana Krall, Diana Panton, Holly Cole and Laila Biali — Canadian women whose songs she either grew up with or has worked with in the recording studio. The Port Coquitlam upright bassist, composer, bandleader and educator had to pinch herself when she learned in late January that she was in the lineup for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. “It’s a pretty crazy category,” Proznick told The Tri-City News last week. “I just feel really grateful to be pulled out of the crowd.”

Port Coquitlam’s Jodi Proznick, an upright bass player, band leader and educator, is nominated for a 2019 Juno Award for her album featuring Laila Biali. michele mateus photo

Proznick is up for her latest CD titled Sun Songs, featuring Biali on vocals. It’s a work she released in 2017 to reflect on a decade of personal challenges and

growth: the birth of her son with her pianist husband, Tilden Webb; and her mother’s diagnosis of early-onset dementia. It’s also the second Juno nomination for Proznick, who got national praise for her 2008 traditional jazz album, with her quartet. Still, this recognition has so much more poetry attached to it, she said. At the start of the new year, her mom died. The next day, her musician friend — who had just performed at the Anvil Centre with Proznick — was killed in a car accident. Three weeks later, a grieving Proznick learned Sun Songs was shortlisted for a Juno. “It felt like it was this weird chapter in my life wrapping up,” she said. “This was just the gift that came with such tremendous loss. It’s like the universe said, ‘I have this present for you after all of this long haul.’”

Tax rolls, photos continued from page

Tri-City News plus fonds from the Coquitlam 100 Years and 1991 BC Summer Games collections, the Caisse Populaire Maillardville Credit Union and the Canadian Western Lumber Company (formerly Fraser Mills), to name a few. There are also city tax assessment rolls, glass-plated photo negatives, community association minutes, sports clubs’ scrapbooks, aerial photos and maps — including a recently restored drawing of the Robinson Cemetery, complete with doodles. Still, there’s more material Lonie and her staff don’t know about, waiting in water-resistant boxes, that have yet to be processed. Last month, the provincial government released 22 boxes to Coquitlam Archives of Riverview Hospital fonds. Though there is no sensitive information, Lonie expects the material to include nursing-related notes and graduation class photos, among other things. With the more high-profile location, Lonie hopes the public will pop in to gaze at the documents that once shaped the city’s future. To make an appointment between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m Monday to Friday, call 604-9273900 or email archives@coquitlam.ca.

With her mom gone, Proznick said her family is remembering so many stories. A “horseback-riding girl from Saskatchewan” who made her life in B.C., Proznick’s mother was at nearly every music event she, her father and her siblings played at. Today, when they listen to tapes from their past performances, they can hear her voice calling out “Yes!” after each tune. “It’s so amazing,” Proznick said. “She was always there for us.” These days, she’s taking in the lessons from the loss of a parent. “I used to get really emotional and now I feel like I’m a tree that’s been through some storms. I’m in a stronger position now to write some more vulnerable music. And it’s all because of her.” The Vocal Jazz Album of the Year award will be handed out at the Junos gala, next Saturday in London, Ont.

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: ronald george straight

Animal portraits capture imagination of Prairie oil painter It’s easy to spot a painting by Ronald George Straight. His oil works are filled with bright hues — especially oranges and reds — and highlight animals in bold Prairie landscapes. Born in Winnipeg, Straight started his art path while at the Balfour Technical School in Regina. After resettling in Vancouver in 1969, he worked as a freelance graphic artist but continued to dabble in painting and photography. Over the past decade, though, Straight has shown his work more publicly in exhibits around the Lower Mainland. In 2014, he held his first solo show at Place des Arts and, until March 16, his series — titled Wildlife Friends — can be seen at the Coquitlam venue, featuring his favourite subjects. At left is his painting called Black Fly. place des arts

PoMo bartender in Big Brother 7 Port Moody’s Kiera Wallace is a contestant on the next edition of Big Brother Canada, which premiered last night (Wednesday) on T.V. The 23-year-old bartender is on Season 7 of the reality show, which follows strangers as housemates who battle for the grand prize. In her online profile, Wallace said her Big Brother Canada idol is Cassandra from seasons 4 and 5. “I liked how she came into the house one way and how she left the house another way,” Wallace stated. “Over that period, she really evolved as a player and it taught me a lot about how someone can go in with one strategy and then change throughout the game.”

The deadline for applications is April 18. Visit yvraf.com/program.

Int’L art

A group art exhibit opened at a Coquitlam eatery last week. The show at Restaurant Vayat (1147 Austin Ave.) runs until March 18 and features the work of Rizah Bahic, Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki and Slobodan Vukovic, among others.

Rosemary Rowe noticed a big difference between the Quiverfull Christian couples she watched on T.V. and the daughters who wrote online about their experiences in the conservative movement. The families that were featured on the small screen such as the Duggars in 19 Kids and Counting often didn’t provide the most scintillating programming, with their right-wing, simplistic views, she said. By contrast, the girls who Rowe tracked down in the United States and Canada — as she went “undercover” to research for her new play — regularly blogged about their talents: their crafting skills, the books they were reading and their photography, which often included images of their hope chests. They were the girls who, after graduation, stayed at home to learn about domestic life while “waiting

for God to bring them their Prince Charming,” Rowe said. “I was really intrigued with their lifestyles.” Rowe’s fictional account of a Quiverfull girl she befriended online is told in her award-winning show The Good Bride, a Firehall Arts Centre/Alley Theatre co-production that runs next week in Coquitlam. Rowe built her protagonist around Maranatha who,

in the late 1980s in the U.S., became engaged at 15 after her father — an influential elder in the movement — set her up with a 28-year-old man. Just before they got hitched, Maranatha’s dad would accompany her to a friend’s home and there, from 3 p.m. to midnight each night, the bride would wait for her groom to claim her (he eventually did and now the couple have several children; they continue to follow the religious movement, Rowe said). Rowe said she needed the perfect actor for The Good Bride to capture Maranatha’s youthful energy, and she found her in Marisa Emma Smith — a Vancouver-based performer, director and producer. “She really goes through the wringer in this play,” Rowe said of Smith. “She’s goofy but also has Maranatha’s emotional depth, her intense doubt and her excitement for what’s about to happen.” Rowe said she often hears one of two reactions from her audiences: viewers either sympathize with Maranatha, hoping she

escapes, or they want to learn more about how the Quirverfulls live and think. Since 2017, when she won the Sterling Award for Outstanding New Play, Rowe said The Good Bride has become more relevant with the Evangelical base supporting President Donald Trump and vicepresident Mike Pence. And Rowe said the Quiverfull faith is more common than more people think (the closest study subject she had was a girl from Abbotsford). “You expect them to be like the Duggars, to cut themselves off from the rest of the world and to not be progressive,” Rowe said. “But they have the internet. They go to Starbucks. They could be standing next to you at the grocery checkout lineup.” The Good Bride runs March 14 to 16 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). For tickets at $33/$28/$15, call 604-9276555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca. The opening performance includes an American Sign Language interpretation for deaf patrons.

Get your garden buzzing this spring Burke Mountain Naturalists host a bug expert Tuesday It may not look much like spring yet but now is the time to start planning this summer’s garden. With various bee and other insect populations plummeting, why not consider making your garden or small space more attractive to beneficial insects?

Veronica Wahl, co-ordinator of the Institute of Urban Ecology at Douglas College, facilitates a number of programs, including the UNIBUG citizen science project at Douglas.

N.Z. trip cut above for butcher Barker PoMo butcher tested her skills at Kiwi Meatstock event MaRIo BaRTEl mbartel@tricitynews.com

aryn Barker’s first taste of competitive butchering came with seasoning and, even though she wasn’t quite in the land Down Under, a Vegemite sandwich. The owner of The Little Butcher in Port Moody’s Newport Village just returned from Auckland, New Zealand, where she was the only female competitor in Butcher Wars, which was part of that city’s Meatstock, a celebration of all things carnivorous. Barker, 29, said her trip was supposed to be an adventure but it turned into an education. And she’s anxious to spread her newfound knowledge and renewed enthusiasm for her craft to cultivate a community of butchering locally. That’s what Barker discovered on the other side of the world, where she was a true outsider. Not only was Barker one of only two female entrants at the event, she was also the only butcher who wasn’t from New Zealand or Australia. Barker said she was immediately welcomed into the fold,

as the host butchers shared their local knowledge and techniques. She said unlike here, where meat is presented simply and unadorned, cuts in Australasian countries are often already seasoned, stuffed with cheese and enveloped in pastry or tied fancily to make them look like pincushions. Barker found out about Butcher Wars via social media and she prepared the same way, mining Instagram feeds and YouTube videos to learn as much about cutting a side of lamb or pork middle as she could. Prior to departing, she practised on two lamb carcasses she brought into her shop. Barker said it wasn’t just about sharpening her skills, she also had to create products her customers wanted to buy and eat. Of course, practising in the small cutting room at the back of her shop was one thing, breaking down half a lamb, then seasoning and presenting the cuts to please the local judges — in 30 minutes, on a stage, in front of more than 200 hungry spectators, while explaining what she was doing — proved to be quite another. Barker said she was pleased to finish somewhere in the middle of the 17 competitors but she was especially enthralled by the way the event fostered an ap-

“People realize butchering is more of a craft when it’s done creatively.”

Taryn Barker Owner, The Little Butcher, Port Moody

preciation for her craft. “People realize butchering is more of a craft when it’s done creatively,” she said, adding she hopes to organize similar competitions amongst the local butchering community, which is often overshadowed by the convenience of buying meat prepackaged in styrofoam trays and plastic wrap at the local big box grocery store. “It’s given me good energy to keep going,” Barker said, adding she’s planning for a return visit to the next Meatstock in Australia. As for that Vegemite; Barker said the sandwich spread that’s made of leftover brewers yeast extract, vegetables and spices was “alright. It tasted like soy sauce on bread.”

Taryn Barker works the saw at her Port Moody butcher shop, The Little Butcher, where she’s hoping to incorporate some of the things she learned while competing in Butcher Wars in Auckland, New Zealand. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS Join the conversation at facebook.com/tricitynews

THE ENVIRONMENT

Polluting tankers a dirty big secret

ast year, Knowledge Network featured the documentary Freightened: The Real Price of Shipping by Polar Star Films, in which Cicero is quoted: “There are three kinds of people: the living, the dead and those at sea.” From where do all the products we take for granted come? Shoes from China. Blouse from Indonesia. Dress from Bangladesh. They all add up to a remarkably inexpensive outfit and yet these items have travelled halfway around the world to get to us. A staggering 60,000 vessels constantly sail the world’s shipping lanes, lighting up our watery planet like a live circuit board. They are the bloodflow that supplies seven billion of us with our necessities as well as feeding our insatiable appetites. Each vessel carries roughly 10,000 steel containers at a time. Cargo includes foods and grains, garments and footwear, furniture, chemicals, machinery, motor vehicles and military vehicles, liquid petroleum products, coal, ore and more. As much as 90% of every-

LIVING GREEN Melissa Chaun

thing we consume comes in a shipping container and yet this business remains largely obscure while its hidden costs are far-reaching. Modern-day freighters no longer fit in traditional city harbours. Moved out of the public’s eye and, according to journalist Rose George, with alarmingly low inspection rates (only 5% of containers shipped to U.S. ports are physically inspected, with percentages even lower in Europe), it’s no wonder maritime shipping has enabled the illegal weapons trade to prosper. Vessels consume as much as 200 tonnes of fuel per day. To remain competitive, then,

shipping uses the dirtiest oil on the planet, the bottom-of-thebarrel leftover grade that no other industry will touch. The use of such fuel in shipping is so large, in fact, that if added to the list of the world’s most polluting countries, it would come in sixth place, ahead of Germany. Additionally, the industry contributes 2.8 % global emissions of greenhouse gases, its sewage has created 400 oceanic dead zones, its everincreasing underwater noise levels threaten fin and blue whales, and its ballast water discharges spread invasive species, all the while relying on modern-day slave labour.

Some 60,000 freighters traverse the Earth’s oceans at any given time, supplying the planet’s population with a wide variety of products. submittEd PHOtO

According to the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), seafarers are routinely exhausted, many working more than 85 hours a week as modern crews have been reduced to as few as 13 men. Being abandoned on ship for months without pay is commonplace, as is inadequate cold weather gear. It is not about safety but commercial pressures. Crew wages are

the easiest thing to cut. More than 2,000 seafarers are lost at sea each year — that’s three vessels’ worth every week — according to the ITF. Yet when tragedies happen, unlike with the aviation industry, rescues or salvages are hardly ever undertaken (the loss is considered part of doing business), and official reporting can take years, if it happens at all.

The United Nations’ International Maritime Organization website, states its global mandate is “safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans.” The IMO claims to pursue that mandate by adopting international maritime rules and standards to be enforced by governments in their various jurisdictions. see

Notice of Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment

NOTICE is hereby given that the Council of the Village of Belcarra has given first and second reading to Amendment Bylaw No. 530, 2019 to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 510, 2018. Third and fourth reading of the Bylaw is scheduled to take place at 4084 Bedwell Bay Road, Belcarra BC, V3H 4P8, on Monday, March 11, 2019 at 7:00 pm in accordance with the Local Government Act. Amendment Bylaw No. 530, 2019 to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 510, 2018 Purpose: Amendment Bylaw No. 530, 2019 proposes to amend Zoning Bylaw No.510, 2018 and is intended to correct a clerical error in the definition of Average Finished Grade, clarify definitions related to Grade, and provide metric and imperial conversions throughout the Bylaw. Section 464 of the Local Government Act requires a local government to hold a Public Hearing on a Zoning Bylaw prior to adoption. A local government may waive the requirement to hold a Public Hearing if the Zoning Bylaw is consistent with the Official Community Plan in effect for the area that is subject to the Zoning Bylaw. As the changes proposed to the Zoning Bylaw are intended to clarify the Bylaw and are not expected to have a material impact its interpretation nor on its relationship to the Official Community Plan, Council has waived the requirement for a Public Hearing on this matter. A copy of the proposed Bylaw and the associated reports may be inspected online at www.belcarra.ca or at the Village Hall, 4084 Bedwell Bay Road, Belcarra BC, V3H 4P8, from Monday March 4, 2019 until Monday, March 11, 2019 between the hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, excluding weekends and statutory holidays.

In reality, the industry is plagued by the practice of flying flags of convenience and these FOC have no relation to the vessel, its owner, the route or the crew. Nearly 70% of the global fleet now fly an FOC, enabling ship owners to avoid strict labour and environmental laws that might be applied by their home country. Most notorious for issuing FOC are Liberia, Panama and landlocked Mongolia. The ITF believes that if the shipping industry were a national system with a national employment group, paying attractive salaries, it would not exploit developing nations for a cheap source of labour. The shipping industry runs in a race to the bottom on seafarersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay and conditions, pleading special circumstances whenever government or the ITF seeks to prevent these blatant injustices. Even more alarming is the rate of piracy (e.g., off the Somali coast). Last year, the number of attacks on seafarers was higher than violent assaults in South Africa, which

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing

loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can â&#x20AC;&#x153;get byâ&#x20AC;? without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing studyâ&#x20AC; by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

The top cop for Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam has a new job. Last Friday, Supt. Sean Maloney retired from the RCMP after 37 years — four as officer-in-charge of the detachment shared by the two cities as well as Anmore and Belcarra — to take a job with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. His new gig started Monday. A national recruitment drive started last month after Maloney announced his exit; his replacement is due to be hired by the end of April, a detachment spokesperson said.

SEAN MALONEY

Officers, civilian staff and city councillors said their goodbyes at a private event at the police building last Thursday. A formal gathering to honour Maloney is set for next month. A native of Sweet Bay, N.L., Maloney was recognized in 2017 by David Johnson,

then the governor general of Canada, with an Order of Merit of the Police Forces of Canada, an award honouring leadership and exceptional service. Maloney was singled out for his collaborative approach with First Nations (he helped to build three new police detachments in First Nations communities in B.C.: Kwadacha, Kitasoo and Ahousaht) and for addressing issues with youth, victims of crime and crime prevention. In accepting the prestigious award, Maloney stated at the time: “I’ve learned a lot of lessons and every lesson has strengthened me for the next job. I hope the lessons that I’ve learned in the past can help find solutions for whatever’s happening now. Partnerships and community relationships are really important to me.”

LIBRARIES & LITERACY

Ralph & biz, math & job interviews This feature, written by librarians with Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam, is published each Thursday to highlight programs and happenings in the Tri-Cities’ three libraries.

BOOK OF THE WEEK n The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin n Reviewed by Vanessa Colantonio, Coquitlam Public Library

One of the New York Times bestsellers from last year was author Chloe Benjamin’s second novel, The Immortalists (her first was 2014’s The Anatomy of Dreams). Set over a four-decade timespan, Benjamin’s novel follows the lives of four siblings who, having received their predicted death dates as teens from a psychic reading, set about living their lives to the absolute fullest. For 20th century history buffs, Benjamin’s most recent work is rich with local historical details from the 1960s through to the 2000s. At the novel’s beginning, Simon, Klara, Daniel and Varya visit a medium during the tumultuous summer of 1969 in their New York City neighbourhood. The chapters that follow depict each diving into their respective lives, both testing and tempting fate. Simon comes out as gay and becomes a professional ballet dancer in San Francisco; Klara becomes a magician in Las Vegas; Daniel becomes an army doctor; Varya becomes a scientific researcher studying longevity. Do the psychic’s predictions come true? No spoilers here. You’ll have to find out by checking The Immortalists out of your local library.

Confidence In Math. Confidence For Life.™

Ready, set, play March 23 at coq.’s pinetree centre Free event for families with children 5 to 12 years of age aimed at physical literacy Kids and families should get ready to run, jump, throw, balance and wheel later this month at Coquitlam’s Pinetree community centre. This year’s Ready, Set, Play! event is set for March 23 (3 to 5 p.m.) and will feature free, family play time with plenty of fun, physical activities geared towards families with children five to 12 years old. Activities will focus on physical literacy and the fundamental movement skills. Families and kids can try out different sports and activities to practice the different movements needed for lifelong physical activity. What is physical literacy? It’s when

children have developed the skills, confidence and love of movement to be physically active for life. The building blocks of physical literacy are the fundamental movement skills: running, kicking, jumping, throwing, catching, agility, balance and co-ordination. Kids can learn these skills by practising a variety of sports and movements. The focus should be on fun, inclusive, multi-sport activities in structured and unstructured environments. Pinetree community centre is located at 1260 Pinetree Way, next to Pinetree secondary school, and is a short walk from the Lafarge Lake-Douglas SkyTrain station and has pay parking on-site. Learn more about what’s happening at Pinetree by dropping in or visiting www. coquitlam.ca/pinetree.

SPORT BC AWARDS

Riverside athlete takes flight with javelin Port Coquitlam student is up for a Sport BC award MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Jarrett Chong knows he’s doing well when he doesn’t hurt. Eight years of throwing a javelin has taken a toll on the 18-year-old Riverside secondary student. Any mistake or variation in the measured movements of cocking his arm, planting his foot and pivoting his upper body and right arm forward to achieve maximum distance for the 2.5-metre-long aluminum implement that weighs 800 grams can result in pain to his elbow or lower back that’s so searing he can’t even sit down. But when everything goes right, when his motions are smooth and his technique perfect, Chong said it’s gratifying to watch the javelin sail straight and far down the field. “Sometimes the easiest throws are the best throws,” he said. Last year, there were a lot of easy throws. Chong won the BC provincial high school championship in the event when he threw the javelin 55.47 metres. A few weeks later he whipped a lighter, 700 gram javelin 66.82 metres at the Pacific Invitational meet in Langley to attain the Youth Olympic standard, and in the summer he became the top ranked U-18 javelin thrower in Canada when he was able to top the qualification standard for his age group at a meet in Richmond. Those achievements have

Jr. Adanacs, Coyle also nominated The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs of the BC Junior Lacrosse A League are a finalist for team of the year at the BC Sport Awards, and their coach, Pat Coyle is up for male coach of the year. The Adanacs won their second Minto Cup national earned Chong recognition as a finalist for high school male athlete of the year at the Sport BC Athlete of the Year awards that will be handed out March 13 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver. Chong didn’t set out to be-

They got there by winning 18 of 21 regular season games, and then seven come a javelin thrower when he joined the Coquitlam Cheetahs track club when he was nine years old. He trained and competed in all the events, but it was the throwing that really caught his fancy, and the javelin he loved most

of nine games in the BCJALL playoffs. Coyle has guided the team since 2015, after a legendary career as a player that earned him induction into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. He won two Mann Cup of all. Chong began focussing on those. But as he grew — or rather, didn’t grow — javelin took more and more of his attention. “It’s a lot about size,” Chong said of throwing heavy imple-

Coyle also coaches the NLL’s Colorado Mammoth. ments like the discus and hammer, or putting the shot, adding he was especially encouraged when he saw an athlete from Taipei who was just an inch taller than his 5’8” stature toss a javelin 96 metres at an international meet.

Chong, who now trains with the Royal City Track and Field Club in New Westminster, as well as his high school team, said throwing a javelin far is about 75 to 80% technique. That means constant repetition of the motions that go into a throw, from picking up the javelin, to the blocking phase when his foot plants and his arm comes forward, to his release. To prepare his body for such a regime, Chong does full-body workouts in the gym, as well as gymnastics and swimming. “It’s all geared towards the technical aspects,” Chong said, adding his inattention to technique a couple of years ago led to his elbow and back injuries that can quickly reassert themselves if his concentration falters. Chong said being a javelin athlete can be a bit of a solitary existence. He generally trains on his own, under the guidance of Royal City’s Kevin Smith, and there usually isn’t a lot of competitors in his event, especially at local meets. But that’s also created a spirit of camaraderie and support amongst the javelin throwers. “You’re competing against each other, but you’re also trying to beat your personal best or pass your goals,” Chong said. “The support and encouragement really boosts me.” Chong is still undecided about his post-secondary future. He wants to study sport nutrition, but he’s still weighing his options for his athletic ambitions. He said the recognition by Sport BC has been a good motivator to keep his eye on the javelin, as he tries to throw it ever farther.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Terry Fox Ravens ready for challenge of provincials Senior boys looking to pick up where junior girls left off MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

The Terry Fox Ravens went into yesterday’s start of the BC High School boys’ AAAA basketball provincials with the third seed. And while it’s not where the Ravens hoped to be, after carrying the top ranking in the province into the Fraser Valley championship that they lost 83-63, it hasn’t veered the team from its goal said its coach, Brad Petersen. The Ravens opened their quest for a provincial banner Wednesday afternoon (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline) at the Langley Events Centre against 14th-seed Mount Baker, but Petersen cautioned there are no light touches in the tournament. “From what I’ve learned about playing in the provincials in the past, every game is tough and competitive,” he said. “No one is going to that tournament prepared to lose.” Petersen said the Ravens’ schedule, that included several tough tournaments against other top teams from around the province, was designed to harden his charges for the rigours and intensity of the provincial finals. “We will be totally prepared

mentally and physically to perform the best that we can,” he said. The Ravens are being joined in the tournament by 13th-seed Centennial Centaurs and 15th-seed Heritage Woods Kodiaks, who

eked into the finals as the seventh team from the Fraser Valley following a comeback 85-72 win over the Guildford Park Sabres in the regional championship. Centennial played 4th-seed Vancouver College in its first

game late Wednesday afternoon. Heritage Woods faced second-ranked Kitsilano. • The Riverside Rapids finished in fifth place in the senior girls’ AAA championship after a 71-57 win over Yale on Saturday at the LEC.

Jessica Parker had 20 points and Tessa Burton netted 19 for the Rapids, who trailed 36-30 at halftime but then roared back to outscore the Lions 41-21 in the second half. The Rapids were ranked third heading into the tourna-

ment, but stumbled in the quarter-final when they fell to the Brookswood Bobcats, 9086. They then followed that up with a 76-63 win over Robert Bateman. • The Terry Fox Ravens junior girls basketball team put the exclamation to a perfect season by defeating Kelowna 76-36 in their provincial final on Saturday at the LEC. In fact, the team’s 40-point margin of victory was their smallest in the tournament, after they defeated Seaquam 96-19 in their first game, then bested Claremont and M.E.I. by 46 and 41 points respectively. The Ravens, comprised entirely of players who are still in Grade 9, were led by point guard Cerys Merton, who was named the tournament’s most valuable player. Ana Misic was named the top defensive player, while Emily Sussex and Lauren Clements earned spots on the first all-star team. The win was the first provincial title for any girls basketball team at Terry Fox secondary. The Riverside Rapids junior girls finished third in the tournament after they defeated M.E.I. 56-44 on Saturday. Franscine Basinga was named a first all-star while Maria Kim was named to the second allstar team. The Heritage Woods Kodiaks won one game during their run at the tournament and finished 12th.

CANADA WINTER GAMES

Curlers strike Games gold A pair of local curlers contributed to a record haul of 30 gold medals for Team BC at the Canada Winter Games that wrapped up Sunday in Red Deer, AB. Coquitlam’s Hayato Sato skipped his Team BC rink to a 7-2 win over Ontario in the curling competition’s gold medal game Saturday at the Pidherney Centre. The west coast contingent, that also included third Joshua Miki from Port Coquitlam, blew open a tight game by scoring five in the

hockey competition. Buglioni scored five goals in the tournament, including a hat trick in Team’s BC’s opening game win, 6-1, over Alberta, and the only goal in their 2-1 overtime loss to Alberta in last Friday’s semifinal.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

Home sales down on annual basis, but up over January Metro Vancouver may have had the coldest February on record, but could there be early signs of a spring awakening in the region’s real estate market? It depends how you look at the latest statistics for February activity, released March 4 by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

HOME SALES*

So what does all this mean for home prices?

MEDIAN SALE PRICE**

The composite benchmark price for Metro Vancouver homes is currently $1,016,600. This is a 6.1 per cent drop since February 2018, and a 0.3 per cent slip compared with January 2019.

Home sales across the region were down 32.8 per cent year over year at 1,484, and a whopping 42.5 per cent below the 10-year average for February. However, this sales total is also a 34.5 per cent increase since January, as the market started to see its usual uptick approaching spring.

Attached Detached

SALES AND PRICES BY HOME TYPE

The number of homes for sale in the region, as of the end of February, is nearly 50 per cent higher than the same month in 2018, and 7.2 per cent more than in January this year, at 11,590. But fewer sellers listed their homes this February, with new listings down 7.8 per cent year over year and nearly 20 per cent lower than January. One of the key indicators is the sales-to-active-listings ratio, which in January took the region into buyer’s market territory at just 10.2 per cent. However, February’s improvement in sales pushed the ratio back up to 12.8 per cent, edging back into more of a balanced market. Phil Moore, REBGV president, said, “Realtors continue to experience more traffic at open houses. We’ll see if this trend leads

to increased sales activity during the spring.”

$515,000 $1,225,000

Having gone through a steeper decline, detached home sales in the region saw the lowest annual decline, compared with townhomes and condos. There were 448 single-family home sales in February, which is 27.9 per cent lower than the same month in 2018, but 32.2 per cent higher than January (339 sales).

TOP SALE PRICE***

The benchmark price of a typical detached home in the region is $1,443,100, which is 9.7 per cent decrease from February 2018.

Attached Detached

$1,047,619 $2,642,857

ACTIVE LISTINGS†

Attached houses such as townhouses, duplexes and rowhomes saw sales across Metro Vancouver decline 30.9 per cent year over year to 401 in February. However, February’s total is nearly double the 205 attached sales of January 2019.

The typical price of an attached home in Metro Vancouver is now pegged at $789,300, which is 3.3 per cent lower than one year ago. Condo sales in Metro Vancouver jumped the most in volume, on a month-over-month basis. There were 759 condo sales in February, compared with 559 in January, which is

a 35.7 per cent increase. However, that 759 total is also 35.9 per cent lower than one year ago. Condo benchmark prices fell four per cent, year over year, to $660,300. However, this is a 0.3 per cent increase compared with January, making condos the only property type to see a slight uptick in prices so far this year. BENCHMARK PRICE CHANGES BY REGION In the detached sector, the Tri-Cities saw lower annual price declines than the regional trend, with typical single-family prices down between 7.4 and 5.4 per cent across the three areas. West Vancouver and Vancouver West saw the sharpest declines in detached home prices, down 16.7 and 13.5 per cent respectively, year over year, with Richmond and North Vancouver also seeing more than doubledigit decreases. The Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island remained the most resilient, with prices up 3.2 and 1.6 per cent respectively. Annual townhome price drops in the Tri-Cities straddled the regional percentage decline, ranging from -5.1 per cent in Port Coquitlam to -1.2 per cent in Port Moody.

Home sales across the region were down 32.8 per cent year over year at 1,484, and a whopping 42.5 per cent below the 10-year average for February.

The steepest townhome price slides were in Tsawwassen and Maple Ridge, down 7.0 and 7.1 per cent year over year respectively. The only annual rise in benchmark townhome prices was a modest 0.3 per cent increase in Burnaby East. Among condo benchmark prices, Port Moody saw one of the region’s biggest annual price drops, down 6.9 per cent. However, typical Port Coquitlam condo prices were 0.3 per cent higher than a year ago. West Vancouver’s typical condo price fell the most out of all Metro Vancouver’s areas, down 10.8 per cent year over year, followed by Burnaby East (-9.6 per cent) and Whistler (-9.3 per cent). Along with PoCo, Tsawwassen and Ladner also saw slight annual increases in condo prices. Home prices vary widely in different areas throughout the region.
