Dian Cross and her son Dylan have opened up The Crossing Studios’ newest location in Coquitlam. The family business is hoping to expand into other parts of the city as more Hollywood productions are looking for studio space in the area. For more on their business — and show business in Metro Vancouver — see article on page 9.
The messages started rolling in at 4 a.m. Tuesday: Carol, wake up. Carol, court is starting, wake up. It’s happening. In a Winnipeg hotel room, Carol Todd rubbed drowsy eyes, turned on her phone and began scrolling through the tweets from friends and reporters inside the Dutch courtroom where Aydin Coban, the Dutchman charged with targeting online nearly three dozen girls and five adult gay men around the world, was about to hear his fate. Her heart sinking, Todd saw that the 38-year-old had been acquitted in four of the five cases involving the adult men.

WILDLIFE IN THE TRI-CITIES
Yes, there are cougars out & about. No, you don’t need to be terrified Conservation officers pay attention to cats’ behaviour
“Cougars have a very keen sense of eyesight. When they do see things like glare [from a window], they’ll come check it out. They act similarly to a domestic cat — they’re very curious, they’ll check things out, especially when they’re moving.”
SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
That a trio of cougars were filmed in a Coquitlam backyard over the weekend isn’t necessarily cause for alarm, according to the BC Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS). The animals were displaying typical behaviour, are sticking to their natural food sources and, although they were unusually close to a home where residents were making a significant amount of noise to deter the cats, they were travelling along the Noons Creek greenbelt that snakes down the mountain. “We’re tracking their behaviour and their moves but there is nothing that has alarmed us enough for us to take some action and intervene,” said Sgt. Todd Hunter of BCCOS. No action will be taken unless there is “significant property loss,” which would be cougars preying on domestic animals or other signs they were habituated to unnatural food.
Sgt. Todd Hunter, BC Conservation Officer Service
IF YOU DO SPOT A COUGAR... Anyone who spots a cougar exhibiting unnatural behaviour, such as acting in a threatening or aggressive manner toward humans or killing a domesticated animal, should immediately contact the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277.
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
A trio of cougars were sighted in the backyard of a home in Coquitlam but the curious cats don’t appear to be a threat at this time, says Sgt. Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Service. Conservation officers have been tracking cougar sightings in the Tri-Cities since around Christmas, when they suspected the unusual amount of snow was driving deer down the mountain in search of food, with the cougars follow-
ing their trail. Because those sightings have been of a pair of cougars and a single one travelling separately, Hunter said it’s possible the trio spotted on the weekend is a reunited family group. Officers have limited options
to deal with the cougars, Hunter said, and are being careful not to make a “rash decision,” opting instead to wait, watching closely for any change in their behaviour. But he cautions that just the presence of a cougar, or even
one that appears to be staring someone down, isn’t necessarily cause for action. “Cougars have a very keen sense of eyesight,” Hunter said. “When they do see things like glare [from a window], they’ll come check it out. They act similarly to a domestic cat — they’re very curious, they’ll check things out, especially when they’re moving.” As an apex predator, cougars travel paths of least resistance
and tend to lie in wait for things like deer and, occasionally, coyotes or raccoons. That’s why Hunter emphasizes the need for Tri-City residents, particularly those living near green belts, to properly store their food waste so as not to attract such vermin — and their predators. Those with pets are also warned not to let them roam around outdoors on their own. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC
AMANDA TODD
‘It was good. It was a relief,’ says Carol Todd continued from front page
“Then I saw what the judges were saying about the young victims, then it was ‘guilty,’ and the judges recommended the full sentence,” Todd told The Tri-City News. “So it was good. It was a relief.” Coban received the maximum sentence — nearly 11 years — for cyberbullying. Posing as a girl or boy, Coban persuaded victims to perform sexual acts in front of a webcam and then posted the images or blackmailed victims to then send more material. Todd’s daughter, Amanda Todd, was not among the cases being examined in the Netherlands. Amanda was 15 years old when she was cyberbullied into sharing personal photos with a stranger online. Her
Amanda Todd (right) and a courtroom illustration of cyberbully Aydin Coban, who was convicted and sentenced this week in a court in the Netherlands. subsequent YouTube video, in which she detailed the abuse and its devastating effects, has been a catalyst for raising
awareness of the danger of online predators. Amanda took her own life not long after posting the
video. Todd isn’t sure why Amanda’s case wasn’t part of the Dutch court proceedings
but is trying to draw something good from the distinction. “The positive out of this is that in his next trial, if he’s found guilty and sentenced, he gets more years tacked on but if Amanda’s case was included with the others ones, he still gets 10 years and eight months,” she said. The Netherlands’ Supreme Court will decide on April 4 whether Coban will be extradited to Canada to face charges laid in 2014 in Amanda’s case. Even if extradition is approved, Todd said, there could be delays depending on whether Coban appeals this week’s conviction. In the meantime, she’s glad for the families that heard the news they were hoping for on Thursday. “I’m so happy for the families and the victims out there that had to go through this
trauma,” Todd said. “But I’m also happy this will be… precedent-setting in the world of perpetrators being convicted.” And while she hopes Coban’s conviction and sentence send a message to other online predators — that they can, indeed, be caught, tried and convicted — what Todd also wants to see is more conversations about online behaviour, whether it’s at the kitchen table, in the classroom or elsewhere. “We have to teach kids online to report something they’re uncomfortable about. We have to teach them about the behaviours they might come across that are not appropriate. And we have to talk about it in detail, and not be afraid to talk about it.”

No weed in PoCo – for now City sets new legislation to deal with marijuana JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam is bringing in sweeping regulations to ensure retailers in the city don’t sell pot — at least until the federal government regulates it. On Tuesday, after a public hearing that drew no speakers, city council unanimously voted to give three readings to a zoning bylaw amendment that would ban weed — as well as bongs and pipes used for smoking marijuana — from being kept or sold at dispensaries, compassion clubs and “all other premises.” The proposed regulation, which council has yet to vote on, wouldn’t apply to the sale of medical marijuana at licensed pharmacies, designated homes and medical marijuana production facilities. As well, council gave final readings to the city’s controlled substance nuisance bylaw — and changed three more pieces of legislation — to impose fines on marijuana sellers and growers to pay for city services to dismantle their pot shops. Council also introduced a business bylaw amendment that would allow the municipality to refuse a business licence to
ALEKSANDAR KAMASI/ISTOCK
The city of Port Coquitlam received legal advice to tighten up its bylaws dealing with illegal marijuana operations, according to its manager of bylaw services. a company in contravention of provincial and federal marijuana laws — a proposal a few city councillors found “rhetorical.” But Paula Jones, PoCo’s manager of bylaw services, told council at its Tuesday meeting the city has received legal advice to tighten up the legislation in order for it to be “explicit” about illegal operations. PoCo council’s moves are in response to two recreational marijuana businesses that opened last year (Cannabis Culture, which is overseen by
Jodie Emery, closed last month because of the municipal crackdown). They also come the same month Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters in Victoria that recreational pot dispensaries remain illegal despite new federal legislation coming into effect this summer that would allow the soft drug to be sold and consumed. And they come a month after a BC Supreme Court judge ruled that municipalities have the right to regulate marijuana
dispensaries and cities have the right to deny them business licences as well as implement bylaws banning the sale of pot. In that court ruling, the city of Abbotsford sought to shut down a dispensary while the operator argued the city was in violation of the Constitution by restricting access to medical marijuana. The proponent also argued the city was stepping out of its jurisdiction because weed is controlled by the federal government.

Public Notice of Watermain Flushing The City of Port Coquitlam will be flushing watermains in the area shown on the map below beginning the week of March 17, 2017. One third of the City’s watermains are flushed each year to minimize sediment deposits in the water system that can deteriorate our water quality. Flushing may cause pressure fluctuations and some discolouration and sediment in the water reaching your home or business. All of these conditions should be of short duration. If your water appears discoloured, run a cold water tap until the water clears.

Fire Chief Ron Coulson and the rest of Port Moody Fire Rescue are hosting a blood drive on April 20.
BLOOD CLINICS
Sign up, give blood SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News
It’s time to roll up your sleeves in the Port Moody fire hall for the third annual blood drive, hopefully with a friend, family member or co-worker. That’s because the success of the first two has prompted Canadian Blood Services to add a bed and increase the target, from 76 units to 101. “Everyone really likes to come to the fire hall to donate blood so they wanted to increase the clinic,” said organizer Natalie Hayton, the PoMo fire department’s administrator. “We have met that goal even previously, so
we have a pretty good chance of meeting it again.” In 2015, 119 people donated 89 units (117% of the 76-unit target) and, last year, 123 people donated 94 units (124% of the target). Along with the new goal will be a new blood drive date on April 20. The previous events have been held in May, which happened to coincide with summer-like temperatures. Hayton is hoping to see lots of new donors attend the blood drive and is encouraging everyone to book an appointment with a friend, co-worker or family member. “Two is better than one —
bring a friend and save twice the lives,” she said. Fire Chief Ron Coulson, who recently took over the helm from Remo Faedo, said he was a regular donor in the past and will offering up his arm at the April blood drive, along with as many staff members as he can muster. “We will provide as many fresh bodies as we can to the cause… to give the gift of life,” Coulson said. • The blood drive is on Thursday, April 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Book an appointment at www.blood.ca or 1-888-2DONATE. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

POCO REC CENTRE
Average $114 property tax, 4-3 vote to stay utilities increase for 2017 with current JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam homeowners can expect to pay an average of $114 more in property taxes and utilities this year. This week, the city released its draft two-year, $199-million operations budget — a first for the municipality, with the aim of getting a jumpstart on major projects — that shows taxes bumping up by 4.23% in 2017. The current projection for next year is an additional tax and levy hike of 3.51%. The plan, which was presented at Tuesday’s budget and infrastructure committee meeting, translates to a $114.18 rise this year for owners of a statistically “average” home — that is, a combination of single- and multi-family homes, with an assessed value of $682,859. In a nutshell, the proposed increases are: • for a single-family home assessed at $883,239: $131.03; • for a townhouse assessed at $445,083: $94.70; • and for an apartment assessed at $336,660: $73.04. The property tax bill will also include a new $25 parcel tax to help pay for the new PoCo recreation complex, which was to break ground today (Friday).
ROAD WORK STARTS ON MARCH 27
Sections of Pitt River Road and McLean Avenue in Port Coquitlam may be reduced to one lane for the next six months for major road and utility upgrades. The construction work, between Mary Hill Road and Kingsway Avenue, is expected to start March 27 and end in September. A city spokesperson said crews will be on location from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and parking will be limited. The work includes: upgrading the roads to an arterial standard; new curbs and gutters; sidewalks, where warranted; street lighting; bike lanes; and water main and water service connections. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/capital or, for more details, call 604-927-5420 or email engineering@portcoquitlam.ca.
jcleugh@tricitynews.com
The fee will be applied to all properties each year until 2020 to help pay for the $132-million rec centre — one of the biggest infrastructure projects in the city’s history. Among the proposals earmarked over the next two years is funding for: • three new Mounties at the Coquitlam RCMP detachment, which is shared by PoCo, for the city’s dedicated Uniformed Crime Reduction Unit; • five new firefighters in 2017 ($305,000) and another two in ‘18 ($320,000) plus a second medic truck ($120,000); • development of a long-
term sustainable infrastructure management plan ($145,000); • a new community garden ($32,600), with a location to be determined; • and funding for the PoCo Sports Alliance Society, formerly known as the Port Coquitlam Amateur Athletic Association, which is seeking a proposed partnership with the city until 2022 ($73,500). Council is also budgeting to complete the official community plan this year and is setting aside money for the Downtown Action Plan — designed to spur economic growth in the core — and a new Northside
Commercial Plan. As well, it’s looking to increase events and programming at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village, prepare for the second annual PoCo Grand Prix on July 14, make technological changes to improve customer service, prepare for the 2018 civic elections and update the environmental strategic plan and disasterrecovery directory. To pay for the proposed budget, the city says it will shave off $401,000 — or half a per cent of tax increase — in expenses by streamlining recreation programs (saving $50,000) and reducing — or cutting — two vacant nonunion positions. (The city is currently in bargaining with CUPE Local 498 for a new collective agreement for its 350 municipal workers.) More details about the twoyear budget is expected to be released next week. Meanwhile, the city will open public feedback on its draft budget next Tuesday and will take comments until April 11 before it’s approved in early May.

“It was a different type of contract than what we put out to bid on,” Moore said yesterday. “This is a company that we can ensure we will get a high quality. We don’t want to nickel and dime on this piece because when you are building a facility this big, you need to have ears and eyes on the ground. We don’t have the expertise.” Dupont concurred, saying: “I felt that us waiting another six weeks to go out for another project manager would cost us more in the long run.” Added Pollock, “I think we need to move forward. It wasn’t going to raise the budget of the project anyway.” The new rec complex, south of Wilson Avenue, is budgeted to cost $132 million; council had set aside $1.5 million for the project manager. Still, Coun. Mike Forrest, who voted against the funding increase along with councillors Darrell Penner and Brad West, said Tango’s fee — rising to $1.35 million — is too high and he believes
the city should return to the market. “We’re not even close to being done on this complex,” he said, adding, “There are going to be challenges along the way.” West said the structural changes that council made don’t equate to a $1-million rise. “My feeling was the $1-million increase wasn’t justified for taxpayers. We’re not talking about a small increase here…. The math is out for me.” The 205,000-sq. ft. complex — due to be complete in June 2021 — will include three sheets of ice, a leisure pool and Terry Fox Library. New housing and a restaurant will also be built on the south and west sides of the 15-acre property. The work is scheduled to wrap up by 2022. • To stay up-to-date with the Port Coquitlam rec complex redevelopment, visit portcoquitlam.ca/reccomplex, follow #pocoreccomplex on Twitter or call 604-9275420 (project) or 604-9277529 (programs).

Coquitlam studio owners looking to capitalize on B.C. filming boom Demand for studio space is high in Metro Vancouver GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
S
ome big Hollywood names have been turning up in Coquitlam ever since the city’s first dedicated film studio opened up late last year. Dian Cross, an owner of The Crossing Studios, told The TriCity News that her company moved into a warehouse off United Boulevard six months ago and is looking for more industrial space to expand. The most recent project to utilize the space was The Mountain Between Us, starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba (which also shot at Eagle Ridge Hospital), but she said more production companies are looking to film in the Lower Mainland. “It would be nice for us to find more space in this area,” she said. “We are looking at other possibilities. We would like to grow into that area.” Coquitlam is ideal, she

Dian Cross and her son Dylan at The Crossing Studios in Coquitlam, where the movie “The Mountain Between Us,” starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba, recently filmed. added, because it is relatively close to downtown Vancouver, Highway 1 and the airport. Cross said that after a long day on the set, most Hollywood actors do not want to travel far when commuting between their hotels in Vancouver and the studios that are popping
up in the outer municipalities. “It avoids the whole bridge and tunnel concept, which is not very appealing to Hollywood,” said Cross, who has similar spaces in Burnaby. “When actors come out here, they are here for four to eight months. They don’t want to be
driving out to south Richmond every day.” The Crossing Studios’ new Coquitlam property is located in an old Rolls Royce marine engine testing centre and Cross said the space is perfect because it has high ceilings and clear spans without columns,

which enables the construction of large sets — sometimes as many as four or five in one warehouse at a time — for their production. A workshop has been set up at the back of the property, where Cross said crews build new sets and props while filming takes place at the other end of the building. “It is a massive amount of coordination,” she said. Dian’s son, Dylan Cross, the operations manager, said there has been a recent effort in the business to be more environmentally friendly, putting a greater emphasis on reusing and recycling props and sets. “There has been a huge movement in Hollywood and
the film industry to increase those green initiatives,” he said. “A lot of this will get reused.” The reusing and recycling of old material has not only been better for the environment but more cost effective, he said. For example, the ectoplasm containers in the new Ghostbusters movie were repurposed and used in Aliens and The X-Files, unnoticed by even the most keen-eyed movie-goer. “You just put them in the background or change the lighting,” he said. The Cross family has been in the industry for more than 30 years. see WEAK CANUCK, next page

Dian Cross told The Tri-City News she ran a number of studio spaces in Burnaby in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Those spaces closed following the 2007 recession, when the American dollar dropped dramatically and many production companies decided it was better for their bottom lines to stay in the U.S. But with the Canadian dollar weakening, there has been a huge uptick in the number of projects moving north of the border, and Cross said there are currently 59 greenlit productions in the Lower Mainland alone. That has meant a boom for cities like Coquitlam and the 33,000 people employed in the film business across the region. “With the Canadian dollar going down, the film sector is getting busier and busier,” said David Munro, Coquitlam’s manager of economic development, last month. “We want to look at how we can capitalize.” Since 2012, the number of film permits issued in Coquitlam has risen from 75 to 196, while inquiries have jumped from 150 annually to 413 during the same time period. That has led to a revenue jump for the city from approxi-
mately $50,000 five years ago to $263,000 today. But it is not just revenue for the city, said Dian Cross. She said that when a production comes to town, her studio hands out a welcome package that includes advertisements for local businesses. It is not uncommon, she said, for coffee shops and lunch spots to see an increase in business as well as furniture rental companies and lumber suppliers. “Wherever a studio is, there is a lot going on inside and it all comes from local suppliers,” Cross said. “We give them information on the area and recommendations on where they can get some lunch.” Many major productions have filmed in Coquitlam in recent years, including the TV series Wayward Pines, Bates Motel, DC: Legends of Tomorrow, Hidden Fortress, iZombie, Once Upon A Time, The Flash and The X-Files. According to the provincial government, British Columbia is the third largest film production jurisdiction in North America. The industry employes 42,000 people across the province, with 80% residing in the Lower Mainland. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
City of Coquitlam
Notice of Public Consultation The City has initiated an application to amend the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) relating to the properties located at 3561 Gislason Avenue, 3512 David Avenue and Lot 8 Plan 2238, known collectively as the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre. The approximate location for the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre was identified in the CWOCP with the adoption of the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan in 2013. The completion of a Master Plan, and land use and design policies for the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre, were identified as implementation tasks in the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan. The City, as the major landowner in the area, has developed a Master Plan for the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre which includes residential, commercial, civic, and parks and recreation uses. The proposal will amend the CWOCP to reflect the Master Plan vision and confirm the location and size of the Neighbourhood Centre. In addition, the amendments would also: • Redesignate portions of the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan area from Neighbourhood Centre and Townhousing Residential to Neighbourhood Centre, Parks and Recreation, and Townhousing Residential; • Adopt specific area land use and design policies that will guide development in the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre; and • Replace the existing Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre Development Permit Area Guidelines with more detailed Development Permit Guidelines that reflect the design vision for the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre. The proposed CWOCP amendment applies to the Northeast Coquitlam Area Plan (Part 3, Chapter 11), the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan (Part 2, Chapter 11.4), and the Urban Design & Development Permit Guidelines (Part 4). For more details on the Master Plan concept and the OCP amendment visit: www.coquitlam.ca/burkemtn > Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre. 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 Thursday, March 23, 2017. Written correspondence can be provided in one of the following ways: By email to clerks@coquitlam.ca Fax: 604-927-3015 Mail: City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, V3B 7N2 In person at City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way at the City Clerk’s Office during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Wednesday, March 15, 2017 to Thursday, March 23 2017 excluding statutory holidays. To obtain more information on this application you may: Visit the Planning and Development Department at 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays Call Amber Nicol, Development Planner, Planning and Development Department, at 604-927-3431; or Email Amber Nicol, Development Planner, Planning and Development Department, at anicol@coquitlam.ca All written submissions provided in response to this consultation will become part of the public record, which includes the submissions being made available for public inspection at Coquitlam City Hall (at the Planning and Development counter) and potentially on our website as part of a future agenda package at www.coquitlam.ca/agendas.

OUR OPINION
INGRID RICE
Step right up, folks!
During the last few weeks, the citizens of B.C. have been deluged by government announcements on everything from Sparwood infrastructure improvements to Uber. There really seems to be something for everyone. Like a PNE hawker, the government is appealing to the widest possible market. There have been announcements on technology skills, seniors’ care, affordable housing, grants galore, something for food processors, more ambulances and paramedics, B.C. farmers’ markets and a new hospice in Langley. This week, Premier Christy Clark says she’s launching a panel (after the election) to look into political donations and, last week, her government heralded a new law to be introduced requiring bureaucrats to document key government decisions — which begs the question of why they weren’t before. And that’s not even taking into account the full-court press of government advertising, which is Clark and Co. spending our money to tell us what we paid for with our money. Next week we expect to get an announcement about a commission on government bribing its own taxpayers with taxpayer money. We only wish.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
IS THE PROVINCIAL GOV’T SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON ADVERTISING DURING THIS, AN ELECTION YEAR?
LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:
WOULD YOU PREFER RIDE-HAILING SERVICES TO ALLOWING MORE TAXIS IN METRO VANCOUVER COMMUNITIES?
LAST WEEK: YES 65% / NO 35%

PROVINCIAL POLITICS
A rude awakening on political donations E
arlier this month, the Globe and Mail reported that lobbyists in this province have been making political donations on behalf of their clients, effectively camouflaging the identity of the real donors and breaking B.C.’s Elections Act in the process. Shortly thereafter, Elections B.C. announced it was conducting an investigation into the Globe’s findings. Five days later, the entire matter was referred to the DERMOD TRAVIS RCMP. To think it was only in January that Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson was boasting to CKNW’s Jon McComb that British Columbia has the “most transparent disclosure system in the world.” B.C. doesn’t even have the most transparent system in Canada. For instance, five Canadian provinces have lower reporting thresholds than the $250 set by B.C. And even then it’s predicated on the donor being up front with the party and the party with Elections B.C.

The BC Liberals tried to wave-off the Globe’s report by calling the whole thing a “misunderstanding of the rules around political contributions.” Lobbyists aren’t the first group that comes to mind when you’re thinking of individuals that might grapple with the intricacies of election legislation. Some of those caught up in the Globe’s investigation may include a former solicitor general, a former deputy minister, a former assistant deputy minister and immediate family members to two prominent political families. One of the lobbyists featured in the Globe’s report is Woodfibre LNG’s vice-president of corporate affairs, Byng Giraud. In 2015, Giraud was quoted as saying the company “supports both political parties [financially].” Mighty fine people. Search Elections B.C.’s database of party donors and Woodfibre LNG has donated $30,500 to the BC Liberals and $15,500 to the NDP (2005 to 2015). Check the five other names Woodfibre uses — including Giraud’s — and the spread between the two parties grows from $15,000 to $72,109. Nothing to sneeze at. It’s tough to imagine this has been going on for so long and no one in officialdom noticed. Financial agents, 11 years of tax receipts, 11 years of audits,
11 years of training, 11 years of Elections B.C.’s all-party election advisory committee meetings, a fine upstanding lobbyist calling in to explain that the donation wasn’t from him, but his client. Nothing. It’s not like the Liberal party has thousands of donors to keep track of, either. It only took 285 donors for the party to raise $52.3 million between 2005 and 2015 — and many of those who will have some ’splaining to do with Elections B.C. are among the 285. So why do it at all? It could be seen as unsavoury for a donor or a political party to be seen having a financial relationship with each other. The BC Liberals swore off donations from casinos for years but not from its executives, pulling in more than $400,000 in personal donations from 2005 to 2014. One other shock? The sense from some of the lobbyists that they didn’t think they were doing anything wrong by allegedly making donations in their name instead of their clients. With the RCMP now involved, they may be in for a rude awakening. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC. www.integritybc.ca @integritybc

The Editor, In the March 3 issue of The Tri-City News, Kinder Morgan placed an ad (page 27) that attempts to reassure your readers with regard to safety concerns involving oil tankers in our waters. While the ad mentions specific measures for reducing the possibility of a marine oil spill, such as using double-hulled tankers, the language becomes vague when addressing oil spill response — such as access to the services of the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation and money invested in more “people,” “response bases” and “equipment.” What is conspicuously absent from the ad is the explicit reassurance that, in the event of a marine oil spill, the emergency plans will ensure the effective containment and disposal of diluted bitumen, and that effective cleanup materials are available to perform that task.

“I go on board to make sure the tanker conforms with international safety guidelines.” – Captain Robert Scott, Loading Master, Kinder Morgan Canada
Tankers calling at Trans Mountain’s loading dock must comply with internationally accepted oil-handling safety protocols and best practices. If the expansion is approved, enhanced measures will make sure that risks to our waterways from Trans Mountain tanker traffic will remain extremely low. We have been committed to safety for over 60 years – and we intend to keep it that way.
• •
Tankers calling at Westridge Marine Terminal are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. All vessels must go through rigid pre-screening and physical inspection.
•
Only double hulled tankers are allowed.
•
Two expert local pilots are on board loaded tankers to Victoria. In future, pilots will disembark at Race Rocks, extending the piloted distance.
•
An expanded tug escort regime will cover the entire tanker route – from Burnaby past the North Shore, through the Strait of Georgia and the Juan de Fuca Strait.
Part of the Kinder Morgan ad referenced in the letter. •
Transport Canada’s certified marine-based spill response organization, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC), is on call 24/7.
•
More than $150 million will be invested in WCMRC to create new response bases, fund new equipment and employ 100 new people. This will double the spill response capabilities and cut mandated response times in half.
•
To support the ‘polluter pay principle’ enshrined in Canada’s spill response regime, there is an approximate $1.548 billion industry fund available for response cost and compensation in the unlikely event of a marine spill.
In fact, Kinder Morgan has gone to great lengths to avoid broaching that issue. In 2015, the company obtained a National Energy Board ruling that permitted it to keep the full details of its emergency plans secret. I believe lack of public transparency prevented the exposure of a key legal vulnerability in the Kinder Morgan emergency
plans as it cannot be ensured that, in the event of a marine oil spill, effective measures for the containment and disposal of diluted bitumen are achievable, nor that cleanup materials are available that can adequately perform that task. According to a federal government report, diluted bitumen sinks in salt water when battered by waves and

mixed with sediment. In addition, a major study of the National Academy of Sciences concluded that spill response is highly problematic when dealing with submerged or sunken oil. As the approval of the emergency plans requires the provision of effective oil spill cleanup measures and there is no evidence that such measures exist, I believe the federal government was grossly negligent in approving the Kinder Morgan expansion proposal and its highly questionable emergency plans for the required cleanup of a marine spill of diluted bitumen. The provincial government was also at fault as it provided its own approval of those plans. That transgression alone, beyond various other concerns to be raised in legal challenges, amounts to a dereliction of duty to safeguard our west coast marine environment. John Sbragia, Burnaby
The Editor, Did you know that according to Greek lore, the god Zeus sent out two eagles from the farthest west and east points of the world in an effort to locate a middle point, which turned out to be the Temple of Delphi, famous for the inscription “Know thyself”? The temple was considered the middle of the world, and therein was born the Greek saying “nothing to extreme,” about which School District 43 and other districts using the semester system know nothing. Education these days is about binge learning — especially in Grade 12 — fantastic expectations are piled on earnest students in the name of “preparation for university,” which is a ruse because the system is really predicated on saving money and packing it all in before a two-week spring break, for example. There is no room for incrementalism or flexibility or, heaven help, sickness in
the semester system, and it is no wonder that numerous students get lost or turn to drugs and alcohol as form of release from this kind of factory work, both in school and after school. Also indicative of poor pedagogy is the lack of selfdeterminism allowed in the schools, another key ancient Greek concept. In no place in B.C. that I know of is there a true student parliament that has any teeth. A legitimate student parliamentary system would go a long way in mitigating some of the negative effects of the semester system by inculcating a sense of school spirit and, moreover, by building an awareness of civic duty, so known to the Greeks. But our students are taught to be workaholics, that to succeed you need to know how to grind away in the hamster wheel, when instead perhaps they might benefit from some time off reading Greek lore.

In disrepair, old, blue dike house torn down The Tri-CiTy News
The Pitt River dike near Minnekhada Regional Park won’t be the same without sight of the historic blue dike house. Last week, the dike house, located in the Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area, was demolished after the provincial government and the Nature Trust of British Columbia determined it was no longer in livable condition. The garage and related structures were demolished earlier in the month. “An inspection of the build-
ing in 2015 indicated that it was no longer safe for occupation,” said Dave Townsend, a spokesperson with Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, in an email. “[It] was beyond repair.” The dike house was built in 1934 by Eric Hamber, who would later become B.C.’s lieutenant-governor, at about the same time as Minnekhada Lodge, and was used for guests, including those who farmed and hunted in the area. According to Townsend, there was no record of the building on the provincial heritage registry, or the city of
Coquitlam’s heritage registry. According to Nature Trust, the house had been unoccupied since December after it gave notice to the caretaker residing there to leave. For at least one local resident who frequents the trail, the demolition of a decades-old landmark was tough to swallow. “It is a shame that so much of potential historical landmarks in the early years of B.C. history are left to go to rack and ruin,” Philip Warburton told The Tri-City News. “I shall miss seeing the building as part of daily walks in the area.” freelance@tricitynews.com

Vancouver pub partly liable in PM drunk driving crash Victim was hit while walking home from work SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
A Vancouver pub has been found partially liable in a drunk driving crash in Port Moody that left a man with brain damage. The judgment in B.C. Supreme Court means the Cambie Malone’s Corporation, which operates the Cambie Bar and Grill where driver Bradley Rockwell had been drinking on the afternoon of Feb. 17, 2012, is 25% responsible for the injuries suffered by Stuart Widdowson, who was hit while walking home from work. “The responsibility for damages in commercial host cases should lie primarily with the drunk driver and particularly so where… the driver’s conduct is completely inexcusable and resulted in reckless endangerment of the public,” Mr. Justice Nigel Kent wrote in his reasons for judgement. “The pub was clearly negligent but there is no proof of any deliberate disregard of its obligations.” According the judgment,
“When advised about his right to counsel, Rockwell stated he wanted to speak with Ozzy Osbourne and started to play air guitar with his hands.” From a police officer’s testimony at trial Rockwell and a few co-workers met at the Cambie at about 12:30 p.m. after leaving a downtown job site. Although each provided different estimates of how much alcohol they drank, the judge concluded Rockwell had consumed at least five to six drinks, including beer and liquor, and that he was “significantly intoxicated” by the time he and co-worker Kevin Sahanovitch left at about 2:30 p.m. Rockwell drove along Hastings Street and Barnet Highway, stopping at a beer and wine store so Sahanovitch could buy more alcohol, toward his Port Moody home. The pair stopped at the home there for about 30 minutes, where they drank more vodka, before they left so that Rockwell could drive Sahanovitch to Coquitlam Centre mall, where he was to meet his mother.
But Rockwell lost control on Guildford Way, fishtailing in the rain, and drove up on to the sidewalk, where he hit Widdowson. Evidence from a Coquitlam RCMP officer described Rockwell as exuding a strong odour of alcohol, with slurred speech that was rambling and profane. He was, in Kent’s words, “falling-down drunk.” “When advised about his right to counsel, Rockwell stated he wanted to speak with Ozzy Osbourne and started to play air guitar with his hands,” according to the officer’s testimony. Evidence from a bloodalcohol expert found Rockwell would have had a reading of .334 at the time of the accident, more than four times the legal limit. The question at issue, however, was when and where
Rockwell consumed the alcohol necessary to achieve that level of intoxication. Unlike Ontario, B.C. does not have specific legislation regarding commercial host liability. B.C.’s Liquor Control and Licensing Act imposes obligations on an establishment that require staff to not sell or give liquor to an intoxicated person, and must not permit someone to become intoxicated. Precedent cases cited by Kent in his judgement draw on the duty of care owed to a patron, the differences between a social and commercial host, and the responsibility of a commercial host to ensure intoxicated patrons do not cause injury to themselves or to others once they leave the premises. That Rockwell stopped at home before the accident did not end the host’s duty of care, Kent concluded. The pub’s breach of duty led to Rockwell being highly intoxicated and that intoxication still existed at the time of the accident. Rockwell was found to be 75% responsible for Widdowson’s injuries. A trial to determine the amount of those damages will take place in January 2018. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Future eco leaders sought for annual Fraser River trip Keeping cigarette butts off Canada’s shorelines has been Coquitlam resident Megan Rempel’s main priority. And she got her start in the Rivershed Society of BC’s Sustainable Living Leadership Program (SLLP), which helps participants hoping to start sustainability initiatives — and is accepting applications now. The educational program takes participants from the waters of the Fraser River near Mount Robson to Vancouver, travelling by canoe, raft, shuttle van and on foot, to explore offthe-beaten-track parts of B.C. while learning about the landscape and its history. Part of the group of nine from around the province, Rempel’s experience with the SLLP gave her a new perspective on life. “It’s reconnected me to nature,� she said. “Despite being a small piece of litter, cigarette butts are the largest contributor to litter out of all plastic products found along Canada’s shorelines.� The BCIT graduate has been working on expanding municipal recycling programs to clean

Keep it fresh and healthy at the market MARKET FRESH

Here is a soup recipe that makes the most of whole foods.
MOROCCAN SPICED CARROT & LENTIL SOUP KAREN CURTIS
S
pring break is halfway over and the time change is giving us more hours of daylight to enjoy it. Now if only the weather would cooperate. Thankfully, however, cooperative weather isn’t needed for a trip to market and March is a great time to visit. Did you know March is nutrition month? And what better place to go for fresh nutritious food than a farmers’ market? I recently spoke with Vanessa Forstbauer, a naturopathic doctor and member of the Forstbauer farming family, and asked for her best advice for optimal health. Her answer? Whole foods. She said there are lots of diets for people to follow and that often once a change to a new diet is made, people say they feel so much better. What has happened, however, is that people are eating whole foods. What are whole foods? Simply, they are foods that have been processed or refined as little as possible and are free from additives or other artificial substances. Many “new” diets rely on whole foods for the bulk of the food choices. Some of them require the elimination of certain foods, such as sugar, grains or dairy. While that may be too extreme for some, for others, it works well. What does work though, is shopping for whole foods at the market. My regular visit this past week in Port Moody took me past stalls with potatoes, carrots, beets, frozen berries and fresh micro greens along with bread, chicken, eggs, fish and apples. Even the processed foods at market fit into a whole food diet as the bakers, jam and sauce makers typically use whole, fresh ingredients and
STEP 1 2 tbsp olive oil 7 carrots, peeled, chopped {medium sized carrots} 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp turmeric 2 tsp coriander 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp cinnamon Combine the above ingredients and roast on a baking pan in a 375 degree oven for 20 - 30 minutes, or until carrots are soft and beginning to caramelize. STEP 2 1 sweet onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves, minced Add onion and garlic to pan with carrots and continue to roast another 20 minutes or so. Be careful not to burn the garlic and onions. STEP 3 2 cups red lentils, rinsed until water runs clear 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes 6 cups vegetable broth While the vegetables are roasting, place the vegetable broth, lentils and tomatoes in a soup pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the roasted vegetables and continue cooking until lentils are soft. At this point, you can season with salt and pepper, and serve with a garnish of fresh cilantro, fresh lemon juice and crushed red pepper. Alternately, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup. create their products without additives. Forstbauer advises talking to vendors and asking what goes into their products and how they are made. The answers might surprise you. For instance, did you know that Trish of Jam ’n music picks the berries for her awardwinning jams on her own property? Or that Mandy from Amazing foods creates her own spice blends? Even Bread Affair sources its ingredients from farmers who attend markets with them. That is one of the awesome things about market. You can speak directly to the manufacturer and get those answers. The same applies even to the other vendors. Arnalia Naturals forages for her ingredients, as does Matt from Wild foraged, and Nasty Free Naturals makes sure her ingredients are
ethically sourced and of exceptional quality.
GARDEN & FOOD
If getting into whole food is on your list of things to do this year, aside from shopping, the market also has two events this month to help support that endeavour. • Register for the Building Your backyard garden workshop this Sunday, March 19: Interested in growing your own food this summer? Not sure where to start or how to be successful? A team member from Coquitlam’s Inspiration Garden will help you get your backyard garden ready for the warm weather ahead. In this workshop, participants will learn about what seeds to start now, how to properly care for their new plants and steps to take to help ensure a healthy harvest. Each participant will
cooking demonstrations and recipes for balanced, one-dish meals, as well as how to use herbs and spices to take pressure off the salt shaker. You can also register by searching the event on eventbrite.ca. Happy springbreak everyone. I hope to see you at Market.
plant their own seeds and leave with small pots ready for love, light and water — and $10 in market money. The workshop will be held outdoors under a tent, so participants should dress for the weather. Workshop registrations, $20, are transferable, but nonrefundable. To register, go to www.eventbrite.ca/e/building-your-backyard-gardentickets-29996558514. • Sunday, March 26 will bring dieticians Kaitlin and Lillian to market to share

MLA Canada: A New Era for
T
Two Powerhouse Marketing Firms
wo powerhouses in the real-estatemarketing world, MAC Marketing Solutions and BLVD Marketing Group, have combined their strengths to create an even more robust national presence – making the new firm Western Canada’s largest real estate marketing organization. Together, Cameron McNeill, former president of MAC Marketing Solutions, and Ryan Lalonde, former president of BLVD Marketing Group, say the merger to MLA Canada (an acronym for McNeill Lalonde and Associates), better serves their clients. “Together, we have harnessed some of the best talent in the industry and have become a fullservice organization able to assist both small scale boutique-style projects as well as large scale masterplan communities,” says McNeill, who is co-president along with Ryan Lalonde. “We both recognize that we would be stronger together by offering unique skill-sets that reflect
“We have a dedicated team in-house that leads our analytics and advisory department which is unique for a real estate sale and marketing firm,” adds McNeill. 2017 is already proving to be a great year for the newly minted company. MLA Canada is working with award-winning developers on some of the most exciting new luxury projects in several of the Lower Mainland’s most coveted postal codes. They include The Smithe by Boffo, Bellevue by Cressey, Hawthorne by Pennyfarthing Homes and Sussex by Townline Homes. “We believe that as MLA Canada we have raised the bar for excellence in our industry,” McNeill went on to say. “I am very proud of the culture we have been able to foster at MLA Canada – one that is built on our core values, commitment to our people, being the best place to work in real estate, collaborative attitude and deep desire to do a great job for our clients.”

sales and customer services, as well as separate MAC and BLVD divisions, to help ensure every project receives superior service from acquisition to completion.” MLA Canada is the most comprehensive real estate service provider in the country. Partnering with residential developers, MLA Canada offers unparalleled expertise in advisory services, market intelligence, project marketing, sales, customer care, and administration. From boutique projects to large masterplan communities, its diverse and highly skilled service teams deliver exceptional results, while placing their clients’ objectives and brand identity first. The combination of two firms’ strengths includes a talented pool of 140 employees, and sales and leasing staff executing nearly 100 projects in various stages of development throughout Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Victoria, Edmonton and Calgary.

Chiefs gear up for P.G. provincials Undefeated club has eyes on a championship GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
After going undefeated in the regular season, the Coquitlam Chiefs Midget A1 squad knows they can handle the local competition. Now the team is taking their talents on the road with their eye on a provincial title, which they will compete for during a tournament in Prince George starting on Sunday. The Chiefs are ranked 38th overall in Western Canada and 15th in B.C., a ranking that lumps them in with Major Midget teams, hockey academies and midget prep clubs. The team is already garnering some buzz from junior team scouts after finishing the regular season with 17-0-3 record, taking first place in their division.
They then moved on to the playoffs last week, where they took home their second banner of the season. A third banner at the provincials would put the club in some pretty elite company. “It is a continuation of what we did last year,” said head coach Mischa Polzin, a director with the Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association, shortly after winning the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association title last month. He noted at the time that this is the first undefeated season for the Chiefs, a dramatic turnaround from when Polzin took over the club two years ago. In his first season with the team, they mustered just three wins, before improving to 11 victories a year later. Now, they are competing for a B.C. provincial title during a tournament that gets underway on Sunday in Prince George. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCity News

PMSC enlists Olympic talent Baxter takes over as head coach of female program
Soccer has taken Brittany Baxter (nee Timko) all around the world but now she is bringing her skills back home. The former Canadian women’s national team player has been named head coach of the girls program with the Port Moody Soccer Club in what club president Matthew Campbell said is a retooling of the organization’s operations.
“The appointment represents the first step in a major investment by the club in our girls soccer program,” he said in a press release. “Brittany will work with [technical director Johnny] Sulentic to develop a soccer curriculum that will be geared to improving our girls technical program.” Baxter grew up in the TriCities and, at 16, was the second youngest national player ever to don the red and white when she joined the national program in 2002. The strikermidfielder played in more than 100 international games,
including World Cups and Olympics, earning a bronze medal during the London Games in 2012. She won the Golden Boot Award when she scored seven goals during the 2004 FIFA U20 World Cup, where she competed with the Vancouver Whitecaps and the W-League in 2003. Baxter also had a lengthy NCAA career. With the University of Nebraska, where she graduated with a bachelors’ degree in psychology with a minor in sociology, she registered 40
goals and 40 assists — one of less than 50 players to accomplish the feat in league history. Campbell said in Port Moody, Baxter will oversee the development of curriculum, while working with the club’s players on field for academy training. “The executive believes that this experience, together with Brittany’s personality and dedication to the sport, will be a perfect match for our club,” he said. “We are very excited about having Brittany on our team.” sports@tricitynews.com
The Coquitlam-Port Moody Bears wrapped up their undefeated regular season with a provincial title last week. The 18 and over B Division hockey team took down Prince George in the championship finals, besting the northern opponents 4-1 to take home the banner. The game was a rematch from an earlier contest against Prince George, which the Bears managed win 4-3 thanks in large part to stellar goaltending from Samantha Kell. Coquitlam-Port Moody, which went 12-0-1 in the regular season, had little trouble in the early roundrobin matches during the provincials. The club opened up the tourney with a 8-3 win over Vancouver, before defeated the Fraser Valley 6-1 in Game 2. However, in the third game of the round-robin portion, the team found themselves down by three goals with ten minutes left in regulation.
