VoteSmart2017 Horgan promises R’view to remain in public hands DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

BC NDP leader John Horgan promised to keep the 244-acre Riverview Hospital lands in public hands just days after a Riverview advocacy group expressed frustration with red tape and fees for holding public tree tours. Flanked by local NDP can-

didates at a parking lot across from the former Coquitlam hospital Monday afternoon, Horgan gave few hints about what he would do with the property, other than stating that it would be retained for mental health purposes and some facilities could possibly be reopened for more residential care.

CHILD CARE IN THE TRI-CITIES

Daycares hit by Supreme Court ruling Baker’s Corner to close due to lack of commitment of space by SD43

GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

A preschool that has operated out of Baker Drive elementary school in Coquitlam for more than 40 years will be closing.

School District 43 said it will need the extra classroom currently used by the daycare as it adds classes and hires teachers to comply with last year’s Supreme Court of Canada decision to reinstate class-size and

composition to pre-2002 levels. For Rob McTavish, the vicepresident of the not-for-profit operating Baker’s Corner Preschool, the news is disappointing, as it is for parents and residents in the community.

“It is really said,” McTavish said. “We will have to tell 25 families that their 29 kids will no longer have a preschool in September.” Discussions had been ongoing between the preschool and

the district since the beginning of the year but SD43 will not commit to offering a classroom until it sees how many students arrive in September, he said. see LACK OF, page 15

Future of legalized marijuana is still hazy in the Tri-Cities Coquitlam mayor expects municipalities will work together to adapt ANDREW FLEMING

for The Tri-CiTy News

It’s impossible to legally purchase pot anywhere in the Tri-Cities, and local residents with medical marijuana prescriptions currently need to get their weed in other cities via mail from among 40 different licensed producers approved by Health Canada. This could soon change after the federal government last week introduced the Cannabis Act to legalize adult recreational use of cannabis possibly as early as July 1, 2018. It will be up to the provinces to determine how legal pot will be priced and distributed and at what age. But in many cases, it could be cities that will bear the brunt of new rules as they look to enforce the sale and consumption of marijuana in their communities. While the feds will be in charge of overseeing the country’s cannabis supply and have suggested a minimum age of 18, provincial governments will decide how products are distributed and sold as well as the minimum age to purchase. Things remain hazy at the municipal level after B.C. Supreme Court judge Miriam Gropper ruled in February that cities have the right to deny business licences to dispensaries and can ban the cultivation or sale of cannabis through zoning bylaws.

WORK TOGETHER

The ruling came after the lawyer for Don Briere, who operates more than a dozen other dispensaries across the country, failed to persuade the judge that the city of Abbotsford was violating the Constitution by restricting access to medical marijuana when it refused to give him a business permit. So far, Tri-City municipal governments haven’t rolled out the welcome mat to dispensaries. The former location of a Cannabis Culture outlet on PoCo’s Shaughnessy Street

The official view of marijuana has changed considerably from the days of big, widely publicized grow op busts (left) and the more recent establishment of pot-selling stores. And it will change more as the federal government moves to legalize weed.

remains vacant after a police raid in November. Last month, Port Coquitlam city councillors moved to approve zoning bylaw changes that would not only ban sales of weed at unlicensed pot shops but also any pipes, vaporizers or other accessories used to consume it. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the best way to move forward is for cities to work together. “Council has already made it clear that we were reluctant, in the absence of proper regulatory framework, to embrace the dispensaries model that exists in Vancouver,” Stewart told The Tri-City News. “The best way

for cities to adapt is for us to contemplate having somewhat uniform regulations across the region, if not across the province and across the country. “From my perspective, it doesn’t make much sense to each one of us to try to invent this wheel but rather to potentially work together to come with common sense regulations that support our communities.” Stewart declined to answer if he’d ever smoked a joint but said doctors have suggested he try medical marijuana to treat a chronic pain condition. “I recognize that cannabis has some properties that can be very beneficial for some condi-

tions,” he said, “and to some degree it is a shame that we have always resisted those medicinal properties and that most cannabis gets used recreationally rather than medicinally.” The federal Liberal government’s promise to legalize recreational marijuana could result in sweeping policy changes that could affect public safety and health across Canada. The act, introduced April 13, would allow adults 18 and over to possess up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or its equivalent in public and to share up to 30 grams of dried marijuana with other adults and buy cannabis or cannabis oil from a provin-

cially regulated retailer. Up to four plants could be grown in a home for personal use. But the new rules, if passed, would also come with tough penalties for selling pot to youth and for driving while high. How B.C. will adapt to the changes is an open question and has yet to be a major issue in the provincial election campaign. But new businesses opening could potentially create a windfall to the area. The population of the TriCities is roughly 234,000, and similar sized American cities in states that have legalized pot have typically seen more than a dozen new businesses open. For example, there are currently 14 in Aurora, Col., 19 in Fremont, Calif. and 19 across the border in Spokane serving customers 21 or older, according to Weedmaps.com.

STILL ILLEGAL

One of the provincial BC Liberal government’s main concerns is road safety and Public Safety Minister Mike Morris told reporters at a March 28 event in Surrey that work is underway to develop a new

screening device able to sniff out stoned drivers. “With respect to impaired operation of a motor vehicle under any kind of a drug, including THC, we’ve been piloting some various roadside screening devices so that we can determine whether or not they are under the influence of a drug and that work is still ongoing and we’re hoping we will have a prototype identified before the federal legislation is enacted,” Morris said. “It’s just a matter of getting a device that is handy enough that a police officer can use it on the roadside to make that determination.” But until laws change, anyone caught possessing or selling pot is risking arrest. Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said the decision to take more of a hands-off approach isn’t up to police. “I can only talk about our jurisdiction and really our stance hasn’t changed,” said McLaughlin. “As it stands now, marijuana is illegal and we are charged with enforcing those laws and we shall.” newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews – with files from Diane Strandberg

Legal weed affects drug education of Tri-Cities youths Share reps say it will be harder for kids to get pot DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

The legalization of marijuana will likely keep weed out of the hands of teenagers, speculate workers who typically counsel youth on substance use. Share Family and Community Services has been providing drug education and counselling for several years in School District 43 and Karen Cleven, director, and Lisa Ackerman, youth substance youth program supervisor, say they agree with the federal government’s opinion that pot will be harder to get once it becomes legal. While kids can go to their friends for pot now, they’ll have a harder time getting it from a legal dispensary because they won’t have the necessary ID, a situation they face

now when trying to purchase alcohol. “Trying to get proof of age, it becomes more difficult,” Cleven speculated. Still, news that the federal government is moving to legalize marijuana — possibly as soon as July 1, 2018 — has the youth workers thinking hard about what it will mean for TriCities youth. They say kids they talk with are confused and lack knowledge about the potential dangers of drugs and drug laws. Each year, Share workers visit classrooms of students between the ages of 13 and 18 with the goal of getting them to talk about what crosses the line to substance abuse. The youths they meet run the gamut from abstainers to occasional experimenters to daily users. “I would say our biggest focus is to pay attention to what problematic substance user looks like,” Ackerman said. “What are the indicators? Who do they talk to [if they

do get into trouble]? We want people to be as connected as they can be to adults they can trust.” They also bring up research that suggests frequent marijuana use by youth can lead to greater risks for psychosis and mental health issues. “It’s important that this program has a large health promotion piece to it,” added Cleven. “[With] Share’s substance use program, we spend a lot of time on health. Part of that is helping parents and other adults understand they need to have strong connection with their kids and an open conversation about what’s healthy.” This year, Share’s team has made a commitment to be in every Grade 8 classroom and to support teachers in their education around drugs and alcohol. Legal weed was not the impetus for the initiative but it will definitely be part of the ongoing conversation. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Student group is working to get out young adult votes Variety of reasons young people tend to not vote REUBEN DONGALEN JR. The Tri-CiTy News

Students who are out of the loop politically might be able to get the help they need to get back in for the upcoming provincial election. The Alliance of BC Students has launched its Count on Our Vote campaign with a goal to empower young people to vote, said Alex McGowan, chair of ABCS. The campaign will focus on engaging young people at postsecondary institutions across the province in an effort to combat political parties’ lack of attention to young people. “May 9 is about the worst time you could possibly pick for young people,” McGowan told The Tri-City News. “The low voter turnout among young people is caused by barriers.” Many believe young adults demonstrate a disinterest in politics at all levels of government. But McGowan said the lack of interest isn’t the main issue: “We recognize that young people don’t vote enough but we also recognize that’s not caused by any apathy, that the low voter turnout among young people is caused by barriers.” For students, a May 9 provincial election comes at one of the toughest times — they would have to consider voting

“We recognize that young people don’t vote enough but we also recognize that’s not caused by any apathy, that the low voter turnout among young people is caused by barriers.” Alex McGowan, chair of the Alliance of BC Students, on efforts to get students to vote in the May 9 provincial election right at the end of exam periods and at the start of summer jobs. On top of that, students who live in rental housing will be asked to provide a proof of address as a requirement to vote, forcing students to show mail they may not have, receive mail to a location in flux or don’t have a legal mailbox. Political parties also fail to reach out to young supporters and making sure they show up to the polling stations. According to McGowan, parties are spending money on forms of outreach that target older generations, like landline phone banking and TV/radio ads, or canvassing to singlefamily home neighbourhoods where young people don’t live in. “[Make] sure that we’re engaging the young people through the media that they use,” he said. The campaign hopes to fight all of that, to allow young adults to receive the same attention from the political parties.

“Our campaign is mostly on the ground… where we have student volunteers out talking to students, and we’re getting people to sign a pledge to vote,” McGowan said. “We could send them information about registration, the community, then we can follow up with them to make sure they have everything they need when election time comes along.” The ABCS will be on some of the province’s major postsecondary institutions such as UBC-Okanagan, Kwantlen Polytechnic, Langara College, Capilano University, UBC and UVic. “Political parties are leaving a big gap in terms of their outreach to young people; we’ve also recognized that’s something that we can do,” McGowan said. “We can be on campus and fill that void.” Students can sign the pledge form and receive information for the upcoming election at countonourvote.ca. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

e all know it’s coming, but how many of us are prepared for a potentially devastating earthquake on the West Coast? BC Quake Premium Survival Supplies is a local, family-run company that offers survival and first aid kits, emergency food, water tablets and many other products to keep us all safe in the event of a major earthquake or disaster. “We’re opening our new store in the first week of April,” says Brett Johnston, Owner of BC Quake Premium Survival Supplies, “but until then our kits and supplies are available for purchase online.” BC Quake Premium Survival Supplies is a division of Community Fire Prevention Ltd., a family-owned business in Port Coquitlam that has offered fire prevention services to the community for more than 30 years. “We did a sample fundraiser for a local sports event,” Brett explains, “handing out earthquake survival kits and it was very well received. People mentioned how they’d been meaning to buy a kit for years, but just hadn’t done it. We could see there was a need to provide ready-made, grab-and-go kits.” There are various survival packages available depending on whether you want everything, including a camping stove, in the kit or if you have most of the basic camping items already and just want to

stock up on food and water purification tablets. Most experts and analysts recommend buying or assembling an emergency kit that will keep you and your family safe, nourished, and hydrated for at least 72 hours after an earthquake or other natural disaster. According to the City of Vancouver’s disaster preparedness advice, City services may be affected for at least this amount of time after a major earthquake, possibly delaying emergency response times.

KWIKWETLEM FIRST NATION

Hit the links & help Kwikwetlem build own health centre First Nation plans wellness centre on its PoCo land DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

The Kwikwetlem First Nation is holding a golf tournament and gala this summer to raise funds for a planned wellness centre that will provide doctors, a pharmacy, a dentist and other health services in a building on reserve lands in Port Coquitlam. Liz Charyna, development consultant, and Alexis Grace, health director, said the first phase of the Kwikwetlem Comprehensive Wellness Centre could get underway as early as this fall but support is needed to bring the plan to fruition.

“We want to be part of the bigger solution,” said Grace, who added that the wellness centre would provide health and dental care as well as acupuncture, physiotherapy and chiropractic services to local members as well as other urban First Nations and the general public. Traditional healing methods would also be part of the programming, Grace said. “We’re looking at making it a wrap-around hub,” she explained, adding that the idea grew out of a comprehensive plan for the Kwikwetlem lands and was approved by its members, who number more than 100 on the reserve. KFN Coun. Fred Hulbert said the initiative is welcome because it will not only fill gaps in medical care but will provide a traditional approach to delivering health care, not only caring for the body but also the

spiritual and cultural health of members. Eventually, it could have a treatment centre, a daycare and pre-school, and provide employment opportunities for KFN members. The first annual KFN charity golf tournament and gala will be held Aug. 24 at the Pitt Meadows Golf and Country Club. Each ticket includes 18 holes of golf, a power cart, goody bag, snacks and the chance to win some prizes. A gala will follow the tournament, with a sit-down dinner, starting at 6 p.m. Charyna, who is organizing the event, said people are encouraged to register and sponsors and prizes are being sought, with information available at www.kwikwetlem.com/ golf.htm. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh in on two highrises proposed for the Lougheed Town Centre area at a public hearing later this month. If approved, the Westview Street development would consist of one 35-storey tower containing 264 condo units and a second 22-storey tower with 202 market rental units. According to a city report, the project would double the amount of rental accommodations on the property from its current 101 units. But the two low-rise rental buildings currently on the site are occupied and the zoning amendment bylaw before council calls for relocation assistance for existing tenants. The report notes that if the two highrises move forward, the applicant would have to waive the last two months of rent for current residents and give them right of first refusal for the new rental building

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

REUBEN DONGALEN JR./THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Annie Huang, Lisa Wu, Carmen Kim, Lindsay Yeung, Rosa Chen and Akhila Appadurai, all Grade 12 students at Coquitlam’s Gleneagle secondary school took leadership roles to organize and host the fourth annual Talk To Me on April 28.

‘You’re not alone’ message from mental health event Gleneagle tackles mental health at event next week REUBEN DONGALEN JR. The Tri-CiTy News

Gleneagle secondary leadership students are organizing an event to bring awareness to mental health. Talk To Me 4.0 will be held on Friday April 28 at 6 p.m. in the school’s multi-purpose room. The latest version of this event has the theme of empowerment, revolving around a number of topics such as leadership, anxiety, self-confidence and self-esteem, and conflict in relationships. “People with mental health issues like depression and anxiety, they tend to be victimized by their surroundings and what’s happened to them,”

MAY 6, 2017

said Annie Huang, a Grade 12 leadership student. “We want them to take from the event how to be the leader within themselves, how to build up the self-confidence and selfesteem needed.” Some of the teens taking a leadership role in the event have a connection to the topic; for Lisa Wu, a neighbour committed suicide because of depression. “Recently, I discovered my neighbour — she’s also a highschool student — she killed herself because of depression,” Wu said. “She didn’t let anybody know. I think through this event, we can try to let [people] know that [others] do think about them, and that they can reach out for help that they need.” The Coquitlam school will host a lineup of speakers, such as registered clinical counsellor Michelle Mann; Fran Banting, the CEO of Dreampath

Consulting; and Claire Lundin, who will be speaking about her personal struggle with anxiety. “What empowerment stands for is a really important topic and concept that is often ignored in media and when it’s taught in schools,” said student Akhila Appadurai. “Events like these build personal connections between speakers and the audience, and some people can really be changed by listening to the speakers we have lined up.” Adam Hayes, the Coquitlam school’s leadership teacher, said he’s proud of his students and their efforts in taking on these initiatives. “It’s unbelievable, and I always say, the event won’t run unless the students want it to,” Hayes told The Tri-City News. “I didn’t have to force anybody or anything, it’s all about choice. By challenge, by choice.” Hayes said that in the event’s

short history, the impacts have been felt throughout the different communities in the province, receiving feedback about how Talk To Me has sparked dialogue and action about mental health and mood disorders. “[Parents have] said Talk To Me has made a difference in their lives and the lives of their daughters and sons, and that to me is why we do it,” he said. “We do it because it’s going to change how they feel about themselves, it’s going to offer them a sense that ‘Hey, we’re not alone,’ and it’s allowing them to also learn about the agencies and support networks that are available to them.” Tickets for Talk To Me 4.0 are on sale — $5 for students, $10 for adults — and can be purchased online at sd43. schoolcashonline.com.

A group of Gleneagle secondary school students is hoping to bring awareness to the issue of mental health in their community. As part of Gleneagle’s Leadership 10/11 class in the TALONS program, eight students are organizing an event to provide people with information on taking care of your own mental wellness. “The main goal of the event is to spread mental health awareness in the community and decrease the stigma around mental health issues,” said Sydney Ko, a Grade 10 student. Renée Boldut, also in Grade 10 at the Coquitlam school, founded the event in Grade 8 as a school project. She said she perceived stigmas about mental health before she understood what the issue was all about. Now, she wants to provide that information for the rest of the community. “I want to try and make sure that people in my community would become passionate about breaking down the stigma around mental health,” Boldut told The Tri-City News. The event is called Youth Mental Wellness Fair, with the slogan “Head to Heart.” “’Head’ is how we represented the mind and ‘heart’ is how we represented wellness,” Ko said. “We wanted something catchy and easy to say.” Head to Heart is a non-profit event that will include information booths from FamilySmart and the Burnaby Counselling group, communication-based obstacle courses and drawing classes, and a lineup of guest speakers. Boldut, Ko and the other organizers decided to take a leadership role in the event because of personal connections and experiences they’ve had or seen. Boldut’s mother works as a mental health counsellor, gaining interest because of her work in the community. Ko has close acquaintances who are in need of support. “I personally know people in the community that struggle from mental health issues,” Ko said. “It is painful to hear that they feel they can’t speak up about their difficulties because of the stigma around mental health.” The event will take place Saturday, April 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the field at Gleneagle, at the corner of Guildford Way and Lansdowne Drive. It is a drop-in style event with no admission fee.

Real people... reimagined in fabulous fiction A GOOD READ

and needs to carve out a new life and identity for himself. This is another masterful novel by King that mixes genres and combines real life events with fictionalized storytelling. It ultimately asks the reader to ponder the questions: “What if JFK didn’t die that day?” and “How would it have affected the future?” Fans of American history will enjoy the retelling of the adventures of early American pioneer Daniel Boone in Alix Hawley’s All True Not a Lie in It. Using Boone’s own voice to narrate, the novel begins in

magician, a courtesan, a politician, a frontiersman and an ad woman: These are the real life personalities that are so extraordinary, they end up living beyond their mortal lives. This newfound existence is a result of a profound curiosity, one that inspires writers to not only document these lives and retell these stories, but sometimes to also fill in the blanks. The following is a selection of novels that involve real people — some famous, others infamous — reimagined in fiction. The Confabulist by Steven Galloway tells the story of Harry Houdini, arguably the most well-known magician in the history of the world. Using the events of Houdini’s life — his rise to fame, his infamous escapes, his turbulent relationships and his sudden death — Galloway weaves together a story full of suspense and intrigue, with just a dash of deception. Littered with real events, including those that are lesser known about the magician’s life, readers get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Erik Weisz, the man behind the Houdini alter ego. What is true and what is illusion? The reader must decide. The infamous Mata Hari and her escapades have always captivated the attention of audiences far and wide. Paulo Coelho is the latest author to retell her story, uniquely from the woman’s own voice. In The Spy, readers delve directly into Mata Hari’s journey starting at the end of her life, as she faces a firing squad. Stubborn, brave and stoic, Mata Hari’s reputation does not do justice to the forward-thinking feminist behind the glamour. So much more

intricate commentary on the changes of a city and the people who inhabit it. If you’re interested in reading more books on real people reimagined in fiction, try World, Chase Me Down by Andrew Hilleman; The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore; Burial Rites by Hannah Kent; Drood by Dan Simmons; I Am Madame X by Gioia Diliberto; and The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman. A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Joyce Quach works at Coquitlam Public Library.

than a rags-to-riches story, Hari’s tragic downfall speaks volumes about the women who dare to venture outside perceived gender expectations and defy convention. In Stephen King’s 11/23/63, readers travel through time alongside protagonist Jake Epping in attempts to avert the assassination of John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald. Sounds easy enough considering Epping is from the future, right? Wrong. There are forces working against Epping, resisting his efforts to change the past. It also doesn’t help that he arrives in the past years earlier than the assassination

Get it in writing, don’t do cash deals & other contractor tips BBB’s top 10 tips on hiring a contractor

The winter season has come and gone for another year and your property may have taken a beating since last October. Now that spring is in the air (technically), that means it may be time to start thinking about the upkeep of your home and yard. Getting a jump on it now may not be a bad thing as service providers start booking jobs and getting busy, according to a Better Business Bureau press release. “From furnace inspection, roof and window replacement to yard maintenance, there is a lot to consider when dealing with your home,” says Evan Kelly, senior communications advisor for BBB serving Mainland BC. “We just want homeowners to do their own due diligence when putting more money into their property.” BBB’s top 10 things to consider when hiring a contractor:

1. Ask at least three companies for bids based on the same requirements. Discuss the bids in detail with each contractor and ask them about variations in pricing. The lowest-priced bid may not be the best. 2. Use BBB’s Request A Quote program. This makes it easy for consumers to secure three quotes in a timely fashion. 3. Get estimates and contracts in writing on company letterhead. 4. Get any verbal promises in writing. Make sure the contract includes the start date and expected completion date. 5. Do not fall for high-pressure sales tactics and be wary of unsolicited door-to-door sales. 6. Avoid cash deals as a way to not pay tax. This is a deceptive practice and you may not have a fall back if things go wrong. 7. Ask about the company’s insurance. Does it carry worker’s compensation, property damage and liability insurance? Ask for proof of insurance

or for the name of an insurance agent you can call to verify the coverage. 8. Ask whether the contractor is licensed for the type of work you need. Does the firm meet the bonding requirements of your city or province? 9. Check with local authorities to find out whether permits are needed. The contractor should be aware of any permits or inspections that may be required. 10. Don’t pay the entire amount due until the work is completed and you are satisfied. Be careful if a contractor wants to be paid in full up front. In some cases, a contractor may need a down payment to cover materials. But the bulk of the money should not be due until the work is complete. A 10 to 15 percent deposit is typical. If the contractor requires more, make sure you understand why. And a bonus tip: Always check a company’s BBB Business Profile at www.bbb.org. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

SPRING DECORATING SALE

Put thought into watering to save water and time With water restrictions and the environment top of mind, many homeowners are concerned about ways to keep plants, trees, flowers and veggies thriving throughout the coming dry, hot summer months. Lee Valley tools offers the following tips to watering wisely as the weather heats up: • Water at the right place, at the right time. Effective and efficient watering involves understanding when plants need watering and how much water they need, measuring amounts of water and selecting appropriate methods of supplying it. Products like timers and drip systems help ensure how much and how long you water. • Prevent waste. Preventing waste is one of the biggest opportunities for saving water and the least painful to your lawn and garden. Keeping hoses, connections and faucets leak-free adds up to a lot of saved water. Sweeping the stairs and the driveway rather than hosing them clean saves a lot of water that can be redirected to the hydrangeas. • Read the signals. Plants tell you when they need water. The most common

BUY MORE – SAVE MORE ALL CUSTOM MADE DRAPERIES short-term symptom is wilting. When the roots cannot draw enough water to fill the plant cells with water, the cells become soft and the leaves droop. Depending on the type of plant, the first effects of stress will be visible on leaves. In some plants, the leaves may fold up to reduce the area exposed to the drying effects of the sun and wind. Succulent leaves will acquire a soft wrinkled look. Grasses tend to take on a bluish gray tone while glossy leafed plants lose their shine. Conifers, in particular, may turn yellowish.

n o i t c e t o r p ANTIOXIDANTS & SKIN Free Radicals really devastate skin cells. Combating them has become today one of the primary goals of anti-aging care as oxidative stress leads to DNA changes, weakens the structure and density of the skin and damages the epidermal barrier. Free radicals are released to the atmosphere, appear as a result of ultraviolet radiation, environmental pollution, and are also produced in cells, e.g. in mitochondria. These particles usually act as very aggressive oxidants that destroy various cutaneous and epidermal structures. Paradoxically, as a result of aging and some skin condition, the efficiency of individual antioxidant system in the body decreases and the skin loses its ability to regenerate after damage.

Co-enzyme Q10, Rosmarinic acid, silymarin, ergothioneine and thioproline are the strongest antioxidants in contemporary cosmetology, based on which specialists from Dr Irena Eris Centre for Science and Research have filed three proprietary patent applications within last three years. Great FIVE antioxidants are now available at Avoras Skin Spa for your everyday skin defense. Antioxidants and CoQ10 Oxy-energizing Facial is one the steps forward in your everyday skin care and fight against free radical, DNA damage and anti-aging. The synergic complex containing CO-ENZYME Q10 & ANTIOXIDANTS incorporates an advanced technology inspired by groundbreaking scientific achievements in the field of skin cell protection.

Danielle Low and her daughter, Claire, 10, worked on a craft project at last Saturday’s Westminster Savings Family Day drop-in program at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. Participants created collages to evoke a rail trip across Canada in conjunction with the art gallery’s current exhibition, Train Dreams. Right, Daniel Oviatt, 9, and his cousin Lucy Low, 8, also joined in the hands-on fun. The next family day activity is May 27 when participants will imagine a public art sculpture from 50 years ago during Canada’s centennial celebrations.

Stage 43’s last show in Canada 150 series JANIS CLEUGH

SHOW TICKETS

The Tri-CiTy News

When members of Coquitlam’s Stage 43 Theatrical Society met last spring to figure out its lineup for this season — a year that coincide with Canada’s 150th anniversary — director Lisa Pope went straight for the work of her favourite Canadian playwright. The Coquitlam resident recalled Daniel MacIvor performing in his plays in Vancouver and Victoria years back and was eager to share one of his comedies with TriCity audiences as part of the company’s L’oh’L run at the Evergreen Cultural Centre. Bingo, which opens next Thursday, tells the story of five former classmates — Bitsy, Boots, Dookie, Heffer and Nurk — at their 30th high school reunion. They talk about their glory days but, the more they drink, the more they reveal details of their lives. “It’s a tale that a lot of people can relate to,” said show producer Claire Pinkett, the president of Stage 43. “Lots happens

Bingo runs at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) from April 27 to 30 and May 3 to 6. Opening night includes a reception after the show with refreshments from sponsors The Saint St. Grill and Blue Heron Fruit Winery. Call 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca. Proceeds from ticket sales support the I Am Someone Campaign to End Bullying.

GEORGE PIERCE

Pierce Ivan, Detton Lake and Aaron Davis appear in Bingo, a Stage 43 production running at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam from April 27 to 30, and May 3 to 6. between high school and present day.” While MacIvor is known more for his dramatic scripts, he penned Bingo to appeal to his working-class brother and his friends, Pope said. As a result, the nostalgia piece offers

something for everyone — no matter what their background or upbringing. “I can only imagine he must of loved it,” she said of MacIvor’s brother, “because there are lots of references in the play to him reaching out

and trying to relate with him.” Pope added, “In rehearsals, we had such a blast reading it. It’s not just comedy: There is a lot of depth and our actors had a good time digging into their characters.” Three Tri-City residents are

in Bingo — Leona Atkinson (Bitsy), Michelle Berg (Boots) and Detton Lake (Dookie) — while Aaron Davis takes on Heffer and Pierce Ivan is Nurk. Bingo is the company entry into this year’s Fraser Valley Zone Festival, which required all participating clubs to carry the Canada 150 banner. Besides Stage 43, the TheatreBC festival will see also entries from Opening Nite Theatre Society (Mission); Emerald Pig Theatrical Society (Maple Ridge); the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts; Moving Mirror Productions (New Westminster); Langley Players; Chilliwack Players Guild; and the Surrey Little Theatre. The fest runs May 21

to 27 at the White Rock Players’ Club. Stage 43 performs on May 23 with Fran Gebhard adjudicating. Meanwhile, Pinkett said Stage 43 is now fine-tuning its program for 2017-’18. Its shows will be based around a Love and Friendship theme and will include a musical called The Fantastics, she said. As well, it’s hoping to host a new work called A Bench in the Sun. And Pinkett said should Stage 43 secured the rights, it may have the western Canada premiere. In that show by Ron Clark, two longtime friends bicker as they settle into a retirement home. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Meet PoCo’s royal party for May Day JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

When it comes to city honours for a young person, there’s nothing better than being named to the royal party. That’s what happened to Ava Dickson and Daniel Harvey last week when the pair was selected as Port Coquitlam’s May Queen and Ambassador for the year. The pair was randomly chosen at an April 10 tea — along with first princess Katrina Herrera and record bearer Jayden Jin — to take part in a range of municipal functions including representing the city

on its float during the May Day parade on May 13 and presiding over a luncheon. Dickson, a Grade 5 student at Castle Park elementary, told The Tri-City News she applied to be a princess after her older sister, Emily, was named the flower girl for their school when she was in Grade 2. Dickson said she also wanted to make the most of her last year at elementary school and has registered to be in a number of extracurricular activities as well. Being chosen to be the May Day queen “was exciting but scary and I was really surprised that I was selected,” she said,

will probably be some extra celebrations.” Both students said they are especially pleased to be accompanying Mayor Greg Moore at the May Day festival and to help lay a wreath at the cenotaph on Remembrance Day, on Nov. 11. The May Day tradition dates back to 1923. Over the years, the fest has included a May Pole dance, a parade and other arts-related events. The 2017 fest runs May 5 to 14, with the opening ceremonies on May 5 at the PoCo recreation complex. Visit portcoquitlam.ca for details.

adding, “To me, it seems like I never win anything so, to win this title it means a lot to me. “When I was younger, I would always watch the parade with my family and wonder what it would be like if I were the queen,” she said. As for Harvey — a Grade 4 student at École des Pionniersde-Maillardville — he signed up after his sister took part in the 2016 royal party as a flower girl. “I really enjoy the MayDay events,” he told The Tri-City News, “so it’s super cool that I got picked to do extra stuff. I’m really happy that I got picked this year — during Canada’s 150th birthday — since there

the show about a death-row inmate is based on the book by Sister Helen Prejean (and was turned into a movie starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, in 1995). The opera, which was commissioned

by the San Francisco Opera, includes Daniel Okulitch as inmate Joseph De Rocher and Forst as his mother, Mrs. Patrick De Rocher, in the Vancouver edition; the young nun is portrayed by J’Nai Bridges. Dead Man Walking runs April 29 and May 2, 5 and 7 at

the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. The fest also includes Otello (Queen Elizabeth Theatre) by Giuseppe Verdi and The Marriage of Figaro (Vancouver Playhouse), by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. “The festival format is an exciting extension of what VO has traditionally done and it

creates a platform to explore repertoire, collaborations and many new opportunities to engage, educate and entertain audiences — new and old,” said general director Kim Gaynor, in a news release. For tickets, call Vancouver Opera at 604-683-0222 or visit vancouveropera.ca.

Carney stays on top of North Zone GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Archbishop Carney has had no trouble finding the back of the net this season. The Double-A girls soccer club has currently outscored all three of its opponents 11-1 so far this season, with the longgoal allowed coming in a 1-1 tie last week against Holy Cross secondary. The Port Coquitlam team defeated Samuel Robertson Technical secondary 5-0 in the first week and notched their second victory of the year last Wednesday when they shutout Pacific Academy.

Carney currently leads the North Zone with a 2-1-0 record . Meanwhile in Triple-A action, the Heritage Woods Kodiaks kept their undefeated streak alive when they shut out North Surrey on home turf last week. The Port Moody club currently leads the North Zone standings with a 3-0 record after posting wins against Terry Fox and Riverside so far this year, outscoring all opponents 13-3. Heritage Woods now has some time to rest up with a league bye this week and a team bye next week.

The Kodiaks are not the only club with an undefeated record. Coquitlam’s Centennial Centaurs are currently 2-0 in the league after defeating Riverside 4-1 las week. The Cents will play North Surrey at home today (Wednesday). Meanwhile, the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils are also in the hunt for first place in the North Zone, taking down both North Surrey 5-0 and Terry Fox 6-3 in earlyseason play.
