Margaret Franz is hosting a panel discussion May 6 about Riverview and mental health in memory of her sister, Mary Steinhauser, who was a Riverview nurse but became a classification officer at BC Pen. She was killed in a hostage taking at the Pen in 1975 and Franz is fundraising for a bursary in her sister’s name. See story, page 9.

BEAR SEASON spring has sprung and bears are awake, so Port Moody is working on a bear management plan: story on page 7
As B.C.’s Solicitor-General, Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, rolled out new cannabis rules yesterday (Thursday) to prepare for the upcoming federal legalization of pot, Tri-City municipal staff say they’re also readying for the sale and production of recreational weed in their communities. Monday, Coquitlam council will hear from the public on its proposal to continue to ban certain non-medical cannabisrelated uses until the federal and provincial laws are in place, likely late summer. Andrew Merrill, Coquitlam’s manager of community planning, said there’s still too much uncertainty at the senior government levels and, until there’s more resolution, the city wants an interim prohibition. It also wants to consult with residents and businesses before private and public shops set up, he said. see COQUITLAM, page 10

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
Alternative ed., energy at summer school Alternate fuels one topic offered at summer school
BAND, GUITAR, FRENCH & HOME EC
School District 43 is offering a host of summer school programs this year that take learning beyond traditional school work. Whether you are a student interested in taking jazz or concert band, learning guitar, coding or culinary arts, or even becoming the next car designer working with alternative fuels, the SD43 Summer Learning program has a course offering. “We are trying to meet student interests and needs,” said Murray Peters, principal of SD43 Summer Learning, who said all courses are supported by the B.C. curriculum. Registration begins today (April 27) but students need to have an account prior to registration. For more information, visit www.summerlearningcoquitlam.ca

With gas prices on the rise, Terry Rueger’s upcoming summer school courses in alternative energies and the future of autonomous cars couldn’t come at a better time. Rueger is an automotive technology teacher at Centennial secondary in Coquitlam with decades of industrial experience who wants to bring car mechanics and science together in two summer school courses for Grade 9 and 10 students. And you don’t have to have technical experience to sign up, just an interest in the subject and a health dose of curiosity. “We are hoping to attract the kids who are self-motivated and who enjoy technology and also want to be hands-on,” Rueger told The Tri-City News. In Alternative Energies, students will learn about solar power, hydrogen fuel cells, biomass and biofuels as well as water- and wind-powered turbines. This course will include hands-on activities and projects. The second course is How Cars Work and the Future of Autonomous Cars, and will teach students about traditional cars and also about hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles and autonomous (self-driving cars). Students will work with tools to learn basic car maintenance. Instead of merely tinkering with gas-powered cars, students will learn about how alternative

Terry Rueger believes gas-powered cars will soon be replaced by alternative fuels, such as electricity, hydrogen — which fuels a dune buggy at the Centennial secondary school shop — and propane, which is used to run the school’s race car. Rueger, a Centennial automotive technology teacher, will be teaching courses on alternative fuels at summer school this year. fuels can be used to power a vehicle. The shop at Centennial has a dune buggy powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, a propanepowered race car and truck that runs on electricity. Rueger also
hopes to show how frying oil from the school’s cafeteria can be used to power an engine. With many kits and experiments, students will also be able to learn about a variety of power sources.
“I have wanted to teach a program on the alternative energies and fuels for a long time,” Rueger said. “I want to show kids that these types of engines aren’t the future, they are here now.”
Summer school will once again offer elementary, middle and secondary skill-building as well as secondary remedial, advanced-credit, fast-track or online blended courses as well as a variety of electives, including: • Jazz and Concert Band will be offered for students starting in Grade 9 or 10 this September while students entering Grade 11 or 12 have the choice of Senior Jazz Band or Senior Concert Band. All courses are July 10 to 27, three hours per day. Jazz Band courses will be at Gleneagle secondary and Concert Band courses will be at Centennial. • French 9/10 is an opportunity to learn French in a short amount of time in an engaging, high-energy class. This course will be open to students entering Grade 9 this September or students who have completed French 9 or 10 and would like to solidify what they have learned. This course will be offered July 10 to 27, 8:30- to 11:30 a.m. at Centennial secondary. • Home Economics/Culinary Arts and Information Technology (Coding) will be offered at secondary as well as the middle school levels. • Guitar courses will be offered for middle school students at Kwayhquitlum and Scott Creek, July 10 to 27 from 8:45 to 11:45 a.m. This year, SD43 expects to enrol approximately 6,000 students in Grades 1 to 12 at 13 schools. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
The courses will be offered July 10 to 27 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. or from noon to 3 p.m. at Centennial secondary. Registration for these courses begins Tuesday, May 1. Summer Learning courses
are tuition-free for students who meet B.C. residency requirements. For more information and to register, visit www. summerlearningcoquitlam.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Lights at Lafarge going bigger in Nov. A signature winter attraction in Coquitlam will cost taxpayers more than $110,000 this year. The 2017 Lights at Lafarge display drew more than 200,000 visitors to Town Centre Park over an eight-week period, from November to January — a number that exceeded the city’s expectations, according to a staff report that went before council-in-committee last week. Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, rec-

reation and culture services, said 9,000 people were at the launch, which created “crowd
management and safety challenges” around the Evergreen Cultural Centre. As a result, this year’s launch will be staged across the lake, at the Town Centre Park performance plaza, and will include more entertainment to bring the total to $30,000. Another $82,000 will be spent on the light display around the 1.2-km lake loop, and to pay for more parking attendants but volunteers will be needed to keep the budget down, Allueva said.

Instead of using Park Spark helpers at workshops and scavenger hunts, volunteers will be recruited for a new Light Brigade to assist with the display as well as meet and greet visitors. Started in 2011 to replace the Light the Lake fundraiser, the seasonal lights display has grown to become one of the city’s biggest tourism events, along with the Canada Day celebrations also held at Town Centre Park. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

COPS & CRIME
Bank robber may have worn makeup RCMP have released a video of a unusually disguised man suspected of robbing a Port Coquitlam bank six months ago. The robbery occurred Nov. 1, 2017 at the downtown branch of the Bank of Montreal on Shaughnessy Street. “Typically, we have a high solve rate for bank robberies but we need your help to find this rather unusual suspect,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin.
“The suspect appeared to have either a self-tanning product or heavy foundation makeup on his face and neck. It may be that he was trying to hide tattoos, a facial scar or some other distinguishing feature.” The suspect was also wearing a windbreaker with a New England Patriots logo on it, a dark ball cap with an L.A. logo on it and sunglasses. He is described as being Aboriginal
POMO POLICE CHASE, THEN ARRESTS The normally quiet neighbourhood of Glenayre in Port Moody was the scene of a police search Monday morning resulting in the arrest of and multiple charges against a man with a prior arrest warrant out of North Vancouver. In a statement released late Wednesday, PMPD described a morning of activity chasing two suspects. The incident started at approximately 11:50 a.m., according to Const. Jason Maschke, when a PMPD officer stopped what appeared to be a suspicious black Pontiac sedan a near the 900-block of Clarke Road in PoMo; a police database revealed the car had been involved in drug and gang activity as well as numerous police incidents within the past month. The officer stopped the car to investigate further and detected the odour of marijuana emanating from the vehicle. The driver, who was not the registered owner of the vehicle, gave false identification and drove away when he and his passenger were ordered out of the car. Driving into Glenayre, the men abandoned the vehicle near Ailsa Avenue but were reported by witnesses, leading police to set up a containment area and call in a dog team. Not long afterward, at approximately 12:30 p.m., an officer spotted the two men matching the suspects’ descriptions leaving a house on nearby Thompson Avenue. The officer approached and challenged the suspects, who gave up and were taken into custody. Shakeel Ibrahim Patel faces charges, including obstruction of a police officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, identity fraud, resist arrest and escaping lawful custody. Anyone with information regarding this matter is asked to contact PMPD at 604-461-3456 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (www.solvecrime.ca). dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
or Caucasian, between 35 and 40 years old, with a round face and heavy build. The video is available with this story at tricitynews.com. Anyone who recognizes the suspect should call the detachment’s non-emergency number at 604-945-1550 and ask for the robbery section (and quote file 2017-35104). Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers (1-800-2228477) or visit solvecrime.ca.

Port Moody looks at bear management City looks to cut number of wildlife conflicts Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
The city of Port Moody will prepare a bear management strategy to help reduce the potential for conflicts between humans and the bruins as well as reduce the risks to safety and private property. At a recent meeting, city council directed staff to explore a number of solutions such as social marketing and the placement of bear-proof communal waste collection bins in neighbourhoods bears are known to frequent, as well as report how much those solutions might cost. Sgt. Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS) said Port Moody’s position as an estuary at the head of a coastal inlet means the city is laced with travel corridors along rivers and streams for wildlife such as bears and cougars that can bring them into conflict with people. “It’s always an area where you’re going to find wildlife,” he said. “It’s encroachment into their habitat.” Hunter said there have already been two reports of black bears in the city since April 1
as well as two sightings of cougars. The latter were walking along railway tracks used by the West Coast Express commuter train that is a known travel corridor for deer. He said the cougars were probably looking for food rather than trouble. Hunter said last year, BCCOS received 536 bear calls in Port Moody, another 41 in Anmore and 34 in Belcarra. That compares to 1,697 in Coquitlam and 1,032 in Port Coquitlam. He said there was about 40 calls about cougars. In either case, Hunter said people need to act rationally. “Follow the basic wildlife rules to leave them alone and keep your distance,” he said, adding every encounter should be reported so the BCCOS can determine hotspots or patterns of potentially troublesome behaviours. Hunter said the best way to avoid conflict with wildlife is to not create an opportunity for it to happen in the first place. That includes responsibly managing garbage and storing foodstuffs such as grains so that even smaller creatures like rats aren’t tempted. “If you attract any sort of wildlife around your home, you’re going to attract a circle of wildlife,” Hunter said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Mental health, memories at May 6 forum Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
A former Riverview Hospital nurse and prison reform advocate who died more than 40 years ago during a hostage taking at the old BC Pen will be remembered at a special event May 6 in Coquitlam on the future of mental health. Mary Steinhauser was just 32 in 1975 when she died in a hail of bullets as prison guards tried to take out three prisoners who had held 15 classification officers hostage while they negotiated for drugs and an escape plan. “She was a very loving and compassionate person, and offered herself up as the principal hostage,” said Margaret Franz, Steinhauser’s sister, who is a retired college English teacher and longtime Port Coquitlam resident. The panel discussion, Mental Health in BC: History and Hope, will feature historian and former psychiatric nurse Anna Tremere and Dr. John Higenbottam, former Riverview and VGH hospital administrator. Franz hopes it will educate people about the importance of mental health and Riverview’s role in ensuring people have the care they need.

In 1960, she trained as a nurse for two years at Essondale hospital, or Riverview as it later became known, before continuing her studies and completing her master’s degree in social work at UBC. While working in the B.C. prison, Steinhauser advocated for an end to capital punishment, held group sessions with BC Pen inmates and served on a federal task force for the abolition of solitary confinement. When the hostage taking took place in June 1975, Steinhauser agreed to be the principal hostage but she was used as a human shield by the leader, and when the other hostages struck one of the prisoners and a commotion ensued, Steinhauser was the only person to die. The shocking event shook the province: Headlines splashed across front pages of daily newspapers, an inquest and a royal commission were held. Both ruled her death as accidental and it was never determined exactly who fired the bullet that killed Steinhauser. Her sister remembers asking one of the prison guards directly if he shot her sister. His reply during the inquest, she recalls, was simply: “I could have.”
Franz is trying to bring closure after 43 years, having amassed a large collection of documents and materials that will be given to SFU, where both sisters went to university. A bursary has also been established at SFU in Steinhauser’s name; and in recognition of her support of First Nations inmates, annual bursaries are awarded to SFU Aboriginal undergrads studying the humanities. Franz hopes to get enough funds in the bursary to make it sustainable while also ensuring that the public does not forget her sister’s sacrifice. “If I can do this and keep Mary’s story alive and introduce a new generation, and celebrate her passions and help university students pursue their dream and their ambitions, I will accomplish my goal,” Franz said. • Mental Health in BC: History and Hope takes place Sunday, May 6 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch, Room 135. Admission is by donation ($10 is the suggested minimum). RSVP to Margaret Franz at mfranz01@telus.net, call, text or voice mail to 604644-6607.

CANNABIS LEGALIZATION
Coquitlam seeking input on rules for pot use, sales in city continued from front page
Merrill said he expects the sale of recreational pot to follow the same route as liquor — that is, with dispensaries away from schools and places of worship, and to have certain distances between one another. Coquitlam city hall already has had some inquiries from companies wanting to sell and produce pot, and “we hope to have some policy in place by the end of the year,” Merrill told The Tri-City News. In Port Coquitlam, which recently adopted changes to its smoking policy that include marijuana use in public places, city planner Jennifer Little also addressed the upcoming federal legislation at Wednesday’s sustainability and environment committee meeting in terms of retail and regulation. A city study is underway “and we will also be reviewing how other municipalities in B.C. and the Lower Mainland are approaching cannabis retail sales,” she said, noting a committee report is due July 25.
MLA MIKE FARNWORTH And Port Moody council is set to talk about cannabis legislation at its May 15 committee of the whole meeting. In February, PoMo council directed staff to seek legal advice and report back on proposed changes to bylaw, licensing, inspection, policing, fire, environmental and other requirements needed to open dispensaries as well as anticipated costs to the city and taxsharing revenue models with the marijuana outlets. At the news conference Thursday, Farnworth said the B.C. framework will evolve as the province takes control
of marijuana distribution under the Liquor Distribution Branch. “This is a major, a significant change in public policy,” he told reporters. “There will be changes potentially unanticipated.” The proposed Cannabis Distribution Act will establish B.C.’s exclusive jurisdiction over wholesale distribution of cannabis and provide authority for public retail sales while the proposed Cannabis Control and Licensing Act will outline restrictions on the possession, personal cultivation and consumption of cannabis by adults as well as prohibitions for minors. In addition, amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act will address drug-affected driving. B.C.’s new regulations are dependent on the federal laws receiving Royal Assent. A spokesperson for Ron McKinnon’s office in Ottawa said Thursday the CoquitlamPort Coquitlam Liberal MP spoke to Farnworth last December about the proposed non-medical cannabis legislation.

COPS & CRIME
DNA from Coquitlam crime led to arrest – now accused is dead Coquitlam’s top cop is going to jail. It’s for a good cause, though. Supt. Sean Maloney, officer in charge of the Coquitlam RCMP detachment, will join local mayors and community leaders in the 2018 Jail and Bail event to help raise funds for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast bicycle ride. Jail and Bail will be held on the top floor of Coquitlam Centre Mall next Tuesday, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Contributions will be sought to secure “freedom” for the community leaders, including Maloney. “We’re hoping this year’s Jail and Bail will raise over $10,000 for a great cause,” said Const. Pamela Newman, one of four Coquitlam RCMP riders participating in this year’s ride in a press release. It’s the 11th edition of the event, which sees the money going to pediatric cancer research and special programs like Camp Goodtimes. Other detachment officers participating in the ride from Sept. 19 to 27 are Const. David Bachtel, Const. Laura Baker and Cpl. Neil Roemer.

posted by the New West Police Board and an anonymous donor. Last spring, Coquitlam RCMP confirmed that a DNA sample collected during a break-and-enter in 2016 matched the sample taken at Darnel’s apartment 20 years earlier and Gray was arrested and charged. Last week, New West cops were notified that Gray had died in custody. “It is unfortunate that Mr. Gray will not face these matters
in a court of law,” said NWPD Sgt. Jeff Scott. “However, we are satisfied with the hard work of many investigators, which advanced this file to a stage where we were able to arrest and charge Mr. Gray for the attack on Ms. Darnell back in 1996.” Gray’s death is being investigated by the B.C. Coroners Service but the cause is not considered suspicious, according to Scott. cdobie@burnabynow.com @cayleydobie

A tragic, two-decades-old cold case that was rekindled by DNA evidence found at a Coquitlam crime scene last year has ended in the death of the accused. James Gray, 48, died while in custody at the pre-trial centre where he’d been kept since he was arrested April 29, 2017. His DNA was linked to the beating and sexual assault of an 80-year-old New Westminster woman more than 20 years ago. Dorothy Darnel was asleep in her bed in the early morning of Oct. 4, 1996 when a man broke into her apartment at 310 Eighth St. and attacked her. The injuries he inflicted to her head and face were so severe they rendered her unconscious, according to police. Darnel survived the attack but she never returned to her apartment. She would go on to speak at several public safety forums about her experience, according to police. She died in December 2015 at the age of 99. The investigation in 1996 was led by eight full-time officers and, despite releasing a sketch of the suspect, who police spotted fleeing Darnel’s apartment building, he was never identified. There was also a $12,000 reward for information leading to an arrest

OUR OPINION
INGRID RICE
Big or small, go green The brouhaha in vancouver over the annual 4/20 event and cost to that city is a reminder festivals, as much as we enjoy them, are hard on the environment. but what if we could hold a big event with a small ecological footprint? That is Port Moody’s plan as the city is looking at requiring events to be sustainable. The new policy for special events would require food to be served on compostable dinnerware and not styrofoam, discourage single-use items such as flyers, straws and signage, and make water bottle-filling stations a standard item. as well, waste would be sorted and food composted, and the plan is to even ban helium-filled balloons while festivalgoers would be asked to walk or take transit and generators would be discouraged. Many of these small, planet-saving gestures are already used at festivals so it doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch to make them a requirement in Port Moody. a single straw or styrofoam container won’t destroy the planet but, at big events, they do add up and every little bit we do can make a difference.

There’s stupid and there’s dangerous I
’ve witnessed the epitome of idiocy on a bike, and while I was witnessing it and telling myself and my daughter there is no way it could get any more dangerous, it did, and I’d like to share it with you. as I was driving with my daughter, we were stopped at a red light and as we were sitting there, a bike blew by us on the right side, blasting right GEORDIE McGILLIVRAY through the red light. as bad as that was, it got worse. as the light turned green, we started driving and were able to witness this: a teenage boy in a T-shirt and jeans, not wearing a helmet, wearing large headphones over his ears to block out all sound or listen to music, riding with no hands on the handlebars, holding his phone down in his lap, looking down and he was either texting or playing a game with no lights on his bike.

I think we can all agree how dangerous this is. and this is exactly the person that gives all bike riders a bad name. I mentioned earlier the situation would get worse, and it sure did. Enter the vigilante motorist. as a cyclist, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s what you never, ever do when you are driving a vehicle: Never drive up behind a cyclist and hit your horn. If you spook a cyclist, it doesn’t take much for them to accidentally weave off the road — or worse, into traffic. Still, this motorist wanted to take it up a few notches. We were still behind the cyclist in the right lane when a driver passed us on the left. When she saw the boy on the bike, she slowed down to our speed and seemingly figured that two wrongs must make a right, and set out to teach this guy a lesson. or something. She accelerated her car then suddenly blasted her horn, and cut in front of the cyclist at the same time. It was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen a motorist do to a cyclist, and I’ve seen it all — or thought I had. The irresponsible boy on the bike in an instant dropped his phone and hit his brakes; he flew off his seat and into his handle-
“Never drive up behind a cyclist and hit your horn. If you spook a cyclist, it doesn’t take much for them to accidentally weave off the road — or worse, into traffic.” bars, bringing him to a stop soon after. of course, a chain reaction was in order. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid running into him, and the screech of brakes behind me let me know that luckily, the driver behind me was paying attention. The vigilante in the car drove off, proud of herself, I’m sure, for removing that nasty problem on the streets. How wrong she was.

Re. problems attributed to PoMo residents Coq. shelter: ‘Told you so’ ‘spoke loudly’ The Editor, Re. “Community concerns re. needles lead to new hire at shelter” (The Tri-City News, April 4) and “77,000 needles are the symptom of a drug problem in Tri-Cities & PoCo wants it fixed” (April 20). I’m disappointed, though not surprised, to learn of the ongoing problems associated with the homeless shelter located at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam. My son and I used to live about 200 metres from there, near Fox Park’s children’s playground. At Easter when he was young, I used to hide treats inside colourful plastic eggs in Fox Park for my son. It was safe to do that, and there were never used needles there. Is it safe to do that now? When the shelter was proposed, hundreds of my neighbours and I signed a petition to Coquitlam council, urging it to locate what we knew would be a low-barrier magnet for those homeless people struggling

The Editor, Re. “PoMo will vote on plans for two sites” (The Tri-City News, April 13) and “Look to future in PM” (Letters, April 25). I am delighted that Port Moody city council has decided to take the issue of potentially selling public land to pay for a library and other amenities to a referendum vote in October. I am also heartened to hear a discussion at the council table about the possibility of a creative solution without having to resort to disposing of our inheritance. This idea has much merit and it should be

with drug and alcohol addictions. We knew the damage to our community this facility would bring. Our petition urged council to locate housing and treatment facilities on the Riverview Hospital grounds but council dismissed our petition. It’s distressing to realize many of our fears have been realized. It’s not too late to do the right thing. My son and I both left the Tri-Cities, in part due to proximity to 3030 Gordon Ave. It was a lovely community, but no longer. Judy Donaghey, Enderby
investigated as an option on the referendum. A library as part of a new development near the Moody Centre SkyTrain station could provide the perfect anchor to spawn an artistic quarter that could encourage creativity throughout the area, which includes the Port Moody Arts Centre. The public spoke loudly and clearly that the proposed library is in the wrong location and I believe a new library has the potential to bring Port Moody residents together, not tear us apart.

May Day dancing at Coquitlam’s Blue Mountain Park in 1948. The city hasn’t held such an event in years but its archive is hosting an online display. Port Coquitlam’s annual May Day festivities, meanwhile, kick off next weekend.
TRI-CITY HISTORY
Take a look at May Days in Coquitlam Although Coquitlam hasn’t hosted a May Day celebration in nearly half a century, its past tradition of marking the arrival of spring has been kept alive by the city’s archives. An online exhibit of Coquitlam May Days has been assembled by the archives. May Day ran from 1940 to 1962 in Coquitlam when it was abandoned because the city’s school population was growing so fast, its teachers were too busy to prepare students for the event. May Day celebrations featured maypole dancing, the crowning of a May Queen, banquets, a parade and more. The city even made it an annual half-day holiday. It was revived in 1971 for the province’s centennial celebration but hasn’t happened in the city since, although the tradition continues in Port Coquitlam. (Port Coquitlam’s May Day opening ceremony and banquet will be held May 4, with a block party and parade May 12.) Coquitlam archive staff have
OLD GLENAYRE PIX SOUGHT FOR 60TH
An organizing committee for the 60th anniversary celebration of Glenayre is looking for old photographs from the early days of the Port Moody subdivision. The committee has an aerial photo from 1963 showing the eastern two thirds with the western third still a forest. It also shows Glenayre elementary school, the Port Moody Kinsmen Club pool and the shadow of the water tower at Glenayre Drive and Glencoe Drive. Anyone willing to loan photos for the celebration at Glenayre Community Centre July 14 can contact archivist Derek Wilson at gca.contact@gmail.com. One particular picture the committee would like to have is of Glenayre elementary’s first graduating class. newsroom@tricitynews.com

MCCURRACH LATEST TO AnnOUnCE COUnCiL RUn
Another Port Coquitlam resident has thrown her hat into the ring for this fall’s council election. This week, Nancy McCurrach announced she will run for a PoCo council seat, joining Priscilla Omulo in the race.

PORT COQUITLAM
Decision delayed on a Section 57 notice for Knapp A Port Coquitlam business that is under city scrutiny for failing to bring its buildings up to code got a temporary reprieve. Tuesday, city council closed its regular meeting to confer about a proposal to place a Section 57 notice on title for Art Knapp Plantland. Under the provincial Community Charter, municipalities are allowed to place a Section 57 notice on title to warn interested parties about potential safety hazards on a private property and to shift liability away from the city. Councillors left their meeting to discuss the matter behind closed doors
and returned to council chambers a short time later to announce the city would seek legal advice before imposing the measure. The issue is due to return to council May 8. According to a council report, city staff have met with Wim Vander Zalm, owner of Art Knapp, more than two dozen times over the past year to seek resolution on deficiencies with his buildings at 1300 Dominion Ave. Monday, Vander Zalm told The Tri-City News his buildings are deemed safe under BC Safety Authority and WorkSafeBC guidelines.

CONSERVING WATER
Watering rules start next Tues. in Metro Spring weather may seem to have arrived later than usual but lawn watering restrictions are coming earlier than they used to, and they’ll be more restrictive. The new rules for the TriCities and the rest of Metro Vancouver will take effect Tuesday (May 1), two weeks earlier than in the past. The regional district moved up its Stage 1 restrictions from May 15 and they will run until Oct. 15. Allowable lawn watering is also being reduced from three mornings a week to two. Even-numbered residential addresses can do it from 4 to 9 a.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays with odd-numbered addresses allowed to sprinkle during those hours on Thursdays and Sundays. Previously, watering flowers, planters, shrubs and trees was not restricted in stages 1 and 2. But now, that can only be done between 4 and 9 a.m. if a sprinkler is being used; you can still hand-water or use drip irrigation at any time (hoses must have an automatic shutoff device). Non-residential properties have been restricted to watering from two days a
RAIN BARREL PRE-ORDERS ’TIL MAY 2 With more water restrictions on the way this summer, residents of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam are being offered a way to conserve the valuable liquid for their gardens. The cities are holding a rain barrel truckload sale with the deadline for pre-ordering the barrels coming up next Wednesday, May 2. The barrels cost $55, including tax, and can be ordered and paid for online at enviroworld.ca/rainbarrels. They can then be picked up at the truckload sale Saturday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Coquitlam’s Austin Avenue works yard parking lot, 500 Mariner Way, across from the Coquitlam Animal Shelter. They can also be purchased at the truckload sale but the cities are encouraging residents to pre-order because the supply is limited. Conserving water resources, like harvesting and using rainwater for gardens and planters, is good for the environment, according to a city press release. More information is available at coquiltam.ca/enviroevents. week (Monday 1 to 6 a.m. and Fridays 4 to 9 a.m. for evennumbered addresses, and Tuesday and Friday for oddnumbered). Restrictions have also been placed on playing fields and golf courses that previously weren’t limited. If Stage 3 is reached, commercial vehicle washing will be prohibited except for facilities with a basic wash and rinse cycle only, or with an automatic wash system with water recycling installed after Nov.
1, 2017. Also exempt will be hand wash/self-serve facilities with high-pressure wands or brushes. Topping up for filling pools and hot tubs won’t be allowed either if Stage 3 is declared. According to Metro Vancouver, an hour of rain or watering per week is all that’s needed for a healthy lawn. For more information, go to the district’s website, metrovancouver.org, which has a lawn care guide.

More study for PM parking permits Permits would be used by some residents near SkyTrain stations
system could create a black market in which residents who don’t need parking buy permits to then resell them. “The concerns are real that somebody has a tag and sells it, and all of a sudden, Craigslist is full of parking tags,” he said. “Are we actually creating a problem we never really had in the first place?”
Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody residents who live in multi-family buildings close to the city’s two SkyTrain stations won’t have to pay to park on the street in their neighbourhood. For now. At its meeting Tuesday, Port Moody council declined to implement a permit parking program for residents who live in the 3,746 multi-family units in close proximity to the Inlet Centre and Moody Centre Evergreen Extension stations. Instead, it asked staff to research a simpler and less costly system than the one recommended by a staff report. In that report, the city’s transportation planner, Mark Halpin, recommended a permit system based upon matching vehicle registration with a resident’s Port Moody address to confirm they live within the area covered by the Evergreen parking management plan. Eligible residents would then be issued a decal to be affixed to the vehicle, which could then be parked on the street in the area for up to 72 hours. The permit would cost about $82 annually and would have to be renewed at city hall every January. In his report, Halpin said he based the fee on recovering the costs of administering the program, maintaining a database of registered vehicles and buying a vehicle licence recognition system to be used by bylaw officers to enforce the regulations, as well as producing the decals and replacing signs to reflect the new parking regulations. He estimated the permit program would cost $245,500 over four years and about 20% of residents in the affected area would purchase permits. But several councillors questioned whether an expensive licence recognition system that can cost $30,000 to acquire and up to $5,000 a year to operate is necessary if residents’ cars require a decal. “Surely, if you don’t have decals, you don’t need licence

COUN. DIANA DILWORTH
Say Hello to Revera COUN. ROB VAGRAMOV plate recognition,” Coun. Rob Vagramov said, adding the permit fee amounts to an additional tax on residents in very specific parts of the city. Coun. Diana Dilworth said permitting street parking could open a hornet’s nest by allowing residents of multi-unit buildings to purchase a permit for what amounts to an additional parking spot at a much lower cost than getting one in their building. “It concerns me we’re going to give them year-round parking on the street for $82,” she said. Other councillors said basing the permit system on vehicle registration also excludes residents who may be driving a company vehicle that is registered to a business address outside the designated area, as well as out-of-towners who may only be living in the city temporarily. It could also make parking for businesses and visitors even harder to find. “We’re encouraging more people to park in the street and that forces visitors to park even farther away,” Dilworth said. Even Mayor Mike Clay, who got the ball rolling on the permit parking proposal after he submitted a report to council last June about parking issues around transit stations, conceded implementing a permit

You’ll be able to use other cards to ride Credit cards can be used as of 22nd – but be careful TransLink fare gates will soon be able to read contactless Visa and Mastercard credit cards to help out tourists and occasional transit riders. The feature, scheduled to be introduced May 22, will allow the cards to be used to tap in and tap out — charging adult fares — without using ticket machines. “[The] Compass [card] is great for regular riders and this initiative leverages its greater potential by adding more convenient payment options for infrequent users and travellers,” TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond said in a press release. “With tourist season upon us, this is perfect timing for the launch of this new technology.” A TransLink campaign will remind customers to tap only the card they want charged, not a wallet or phone case that holds multiple cards. If the card reader detects more than one card, it will charge the first card it detects. which may not be the one the customer intended for payment.
tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO
Starting May 22, those who don’t have a Compass card will be able to tap in to ride buses and SkyTrain using a contactless Mastercard or Visa credit card. Still, TransLink advises customers to use a Compass card whenever possible in order to take advantage of discounts. Other transit news:
SEASONAL BUSES
Seasonal weekend service on the 150 White Pine Beach/ Coquitlam Central Station bus route will begin May 5. TransLink announced this week the weekend service to Sasamat Lake will run until Labour Day while the weekday service for the route will begin June 11 and
operate until Aug. 31. The transit authority also announced the letter “C” will be phased out from the names of its community shuttle routes. TransLink, in a press release, said the letter used to indicate a route that was only served by smaller community shuttle buses. But now the company operates different sizes of buses on its routes depending on demand. TransLink said route number changes will be rolled out over several service changes.

9 days until new market season kicks off MaRKEt FRESH

t’s almost here! Thee 22nd year for the Coquitlam Farmers Market opens Sunday, May 6 and it’s going to be stellar. What began as a student project in the 1990s has become the second longest running farmers market in the Lower Mainland. Kudos to all the people who have helped maintain and grow this integral part of our community. The market staff keep things fresh every year by adding a great lineup of new vendors to complement all your favourites. One of the coolest things about market vendors is that there is always someone pushing the envelope in terms of product development, fresh flavours or new products. Have a look out for these clever people:
Cocoara Chocolate will be bringing its single-origin, fair-trade chocolate bars. The bars are beautifully wrapped in chiyogami, reflecting Margaret Inoue’s Japanese heritage. If canning is your thing, Coquitlam River Cannery will have a unique collection of preserves, meticulously prepared with an attention to flavour Dee’s Jewelry Box joins the tremendous collection of jewellers already on board. Dee has a great collection of charms that she has used very creatively. Hailing all the way from Mission, Eagle Mountain Leather will be bringing a fabulous selection of belts. They are handmade by the Smiths and feature some lovely tooling. For those of you missing Dundarave Olive Company, Fume-eh Gourmet foods will fill the void, bringing a great selection of olive products to market. Homemade by Harris will be on site with an adorable collection of sugar cookies and other treats. If bears are your thing, be sure to check out PoCo Soap Co. for its cleverly designed soaps. The wrappers feature a
bear as part of the logo — and if you are a Tri-City resident, you will understand why. Chef Ann Kirsebom is a name familiar to many of us; she makes fabulous sauces and confit that elevate everyday cooking to the extraordinary. Einai Designs is coming with its cool collection of handsewn clothing and functional housewares. I am excited about the microwavable bowl covers — I can tell you from experience, they are the bomb. Some new farmers are joining us, too. Oyster and King will be supplying us with mushrooms. We haven’t had a mushroom vendor for a long time, so this will be a treat. Aslan Organics is also joining us for the first time at the summer market, as is Crisp Organics. Both these vendors have a fabulous selection of organic produce. Maan Farms will be with us with berries as soon as they are ready (and their wine, too!) and Wheelhouse Seafoods will be at market monthly. I am quite afraid of this vendor: Royal City Donuts is joining us this year. Help! Seriously, Maple Bacon Brioche donuts… Sacred Moon Botanicals makes personal care products
designed to bring us back in touch with the Mother Earth. Speaking of Mother Earth, don’t forget that the following Sunday, May 13, is Mothers Day. We will be hosting a special relaxation tent just for mums. Stop by for a sit and enjoy a treat and a cup of tea or coffee. This is merely a glimpse of all the amazing vendors that will be joining us for our 22nd season. We are adding workshops to the schedule too, so not only can you eat well, support local business and participate in community building, you can learn cool things too. First up are tow skin care workshops on May 27. Sign up at eventbrite.ca and learn how to make your own bug repellent and lip balm. The workshops will be led by the knowledgeable Cheryl from Scentimental Creations, and you will take home what you make. There will be plenty more workshops throughout the season — including a couple from yours truly, so stay tuned. Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (www.kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade.blogspot.ca) at the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers markets. Her column runs monthly.
TASTY, HEALTH, FRESH FROM MARKET: PEPPERS Here is a recipe for stuffed peppers that make the most of the first peppers and kale of the season.
Quinoa Kale Stuffed PePPerS from brooklynfarmgirl.com
ingredientS 4 large green peppers, seeds removed and tops cut off 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1 cup dry quinoa 3 cups kale 2 cups tomato sauce 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese inStructionS Preheat oven to 350 F. Place 4 peppers in casserole dish, standing them upright. Bring 2 cups of broth to a boil in a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 1 cup quinoa and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff, cover and let stand for about 15 minutes. Add cooked quinoa into large bowl. Add kale and 1 cup of tomato sauce to quinoa and mix. Fill each pepper with quinoa mixture. Pour remaining 1 cup tomato sauce evenly over the peppers. Cover peppers in casserole dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove aluminum foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of peppers and bake for 10 more minutes. Enjoy. (For a different approach, try adding Redl’s ground beef or Rockweld’s ground chicken.)

Plant flowering shrubs IN THE GARDEN
BRIAN MINTER
O
ften at this time of year, we admire the many flowering shrubs in other folks’ gardens but we never seem to get around to planting some of these beauties in our own yards. I’m sure part of the reason is that we simply don’t know what these plants are and that’s a real shame because they can provide a sequence of almost continuous colour all spring. I like to plant flowering shrubs among conifers, broadleaved evergreens (like rhododendrons) and evergreen perennials because arranging them this way creates a more pleasing year-round effect, especially in winter when flowering shrubs do not look their best. As well as their period of blazing colour, flowering shrubs have many other features that can enhance a garden. During winter, their branches can be a source of cut flowers to bring indoors
and enjoy as their blooms open. Many shrubs have great summer foliage colour, like the spiraeas ‘Goldmound’, a dwarf variety; ‘Magic Carpet’, a bronze with pink flowers; and old-fashioned ‘Gold Flame’, a variety with bright coppery-yellow new growth. Viburnums have impressive autumn colour, which adds a nice touch to a fall garden. In winter, flowering shrubs provide great protective thickets for birds and some provide food. As well, flowering shrubs attract birds all spring and summer to keep insect populations under control. In terms of fragrance, the new Daphne ‘Eternal Fragrance’ truly turns heads. This hardy evergreen daphne grows 3-4 feet tall and wide with stunning white, fragrant flowers from April through October. It is a ‘must have’. Chaenomeles (flowering quince) in full bloom are quite a sight. From the brilliant scarlet ‘Hollandia’ to the orangey ‘Orange Delight’, chaenomeles are a must for spring gardens. They usually need a bit of room because older plants will grow up to eight feet but don’t let them, They can be easily espaliered against an old fence or wall and if you are really creative, try training them into a bonsai form. Their apple-like fruits, which develop later in the summer,
have a bitter taste but they make wonderful jelly. From the old-fashioned snowball tree (Viburnum opulus ‘Sterile’) to the new continuous June-to-frost bloomer, ‘Summer Snowflake’ (Viburnum plicatum) - an introduction from the UBC Botanical Garden - viburnums are the backbone of a spring garden. If you enjoy fragrance, then the perfume of Viburnum carlcephalum will knock your socks off. I’m also impressed with the semievergreen V. burkwoodii with its glossy leaves and fragrant pink-budded blossom clusters that open into pure white perfumed balls. Not to be ignored are the V. tomentosum varieties like ‘Mariesii’. I like them because of the masses of flat, white lacecap-like flowers that appear in horizontal tiers on these rather wide-spreading plants. In a way, they’re similar to ‘Summer Snowflake’ but very low and spreading in appearance. Deciduous azaleas will be blooming soon, which means we’re going to miss them in our June gardens. The old ‘Mollis’ varieties still pack a wallop with their brilliant orange and red colours and if you are lucky and can find an old yellow seedling variety, they will fill your whole garden with a beautiful sweet perfume.

SAILING
Racing with the wind starts early Kids can start racing after completing learn to sail program MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Success is blowing in the wind for the Rocky Point Sailing Association. But first you have to keep your eyes peeled for ripples on the water, said Jago Tough, one of the group’s 20 or so competitive racers, because that’s a sign where the breeze is briskest. Tough and his teammates are preparing for another busy spring season of regattas on the BC racing circuit that launches April 28 and 29 with the Kitten Cup, hosted by the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. The Port Moody-based racers compete in three categories of craft: Opti, for neophytes; single-seater Lasers; and the two-man 420 Club. As one of the team’s volunteer coaches, it’s Musa Fortin’s job to transform young sailors who may have no more than a couple of weeks experience in a boat after completing the association’s learn to sail program into high-speed racers. “It’s just a change in mindset,” he said. “You’re changing your focus.” Much of that racing mindset involves becoming familiar with the rules and procedures that determine which boats have the right of way on the course as well as learning how to read the course and weather to plot strategy. “We have to look for advantage points, like ripples in the water,” Tough,13, said. “Then you have to compare your boat’s position to others and determine how to get there as quickly as possible.”
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Jago Tough, 13, and Nicole Miller, 14, help their racing coach at the Rocky Point Sailing Association, Musa Fortin, rig the sail on a Laser boat at the club’s boat house recently. Fortin, who’s in his third year of coaching, likens sail racing to chess on water. “The mental game is the most important component,” he said. But that has to be complemented with some physical prowess like being able to hoist a spinnaker sail as quickly as possible to take advantage of a breeze as well as derring-do when trapezing out on a wire from the side of the craft to counterbalance the push of the wind into the sails. “The adrenalin when you’re going fast is amazing,” Tough said. Nicole Miller, who’s been sailing for 10 of her 14 years
and racing for three years, said while a sailing race might look chaotic from shore, it can be even more so on the water especially as skippers tack for the best position along the starting line. “There’s a lot of boats in the same space but you don’t know what everybody’s plan is,” she said. Jenny Tough, who heads the racing program at Rocky Point, said a lot of the coaching kids receive is about giving them the confidence to be able to handle themselves on the water and find order amidst the chaos. “It’s not like you need to be an amazing sailor,” she said.
• Are you unsatisfied with your dentures? • Unable to chew?
“You just have to be competent.” That means everybody who’s completed the learn to sail program can join the racing team if they’re keen. “We make all levels feel welcome,” Tough said, adding rookie sailors get their feet wet in the small single-man Optimist (Opti) sailing dinghies that are designed to be easily managed by kids under 15. The craft’s pram hull and single spirit-rigged sail makes it extremely stable in winds up to 30 knots. They then graduate to the sleeker Laser that is almost twice the size with a single catrigged sail that performs best
in winds higher than 15 knots. The Club 420 is about the same size as the Laser but designed to be piloted by two people who must manage its main, jib and spinnaker sails. Tough said the club is considering starting an adult racing program but it’s main focus right now is to attract more young sailors who can learn the sport’s fundamentals in the summer before taking a spot on a regatta’s start line for the fall racing season.

PLAYOFF FATE FOR CLAN
The playoff fate of the Simon Fraser University Clan women’s softball team will be decided in a pair of doubleheaders on the road this weekend. The Clan are tied with Western Oregon for fifth place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and the two teams play each other Saturday in Monmouth, Ore. Both the Clan and the Wolves have 12 wins and 12 losses in conference play. The top four teams advance to the conference playoffs that begin May 3 in Portland. SFU then closes out its regular season schedule on Sunday against Concordia in Portland. The Clan stayed in the playoff hunt after splitting doubleheaders last weekend. Port Coquitlam pitcher Alia Stachoski helped preserve a 10-6 win for the Clan in the second game of their doubleheader against Saint Martin’s last Sunday in Lacy, Wash. Stachoski surrendered just two hits and a walk after relieving starter Jessica Tate in the bottom of the fifth inning with the Clan nursing a 6-5 lead. Earlier, in Sunday’s first game, Stachoski gave up 11 hits and all seven runs as the Saints beat the Clan 7-2. The loss dropped her record see COACH, page 38

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER
HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Riverside Rapids ball carrier Bienne Pablo Karlos tries to elude the grasp of a W.J. Mouat tackler in the first half of their BC high school boys Tier II rugby match, Tuesday at Riverside secondary school. The Rapids won the match 50-5 to improve their record to five wins against no losses. Ethan Kelt scored three tries for the Rapids and added five conversions, while Tristen Hendricks added a pair of tries. Single tries came from Alit At, Owen Deo and Jacob Granville.
SOFTBALL
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Centennial’s Jaydn Vance is fouled in the penalty area by Dr. Charles Best defender Madison Ciulla in the first half of their Fraser Valley North senior girls high school soccer match, Wednesday at Coquitlam Town Centre Park. Centennial was awarded a penalty kick on the play, but didn’t score. The eighth-ranked Centaurs beat the third-ranked Blue Devils, 2-0, on second half goals by Kiki Bowen and Raegan Mackenzie. The two teams are tied with Riverside atop the league standings. Each has five victories and a loss. The regular season wraps up on Monday.
Coach Renney retiring continued from page 37
to 10 wins and an equal number of losses. Stachoski earned her tenth win of the season the day before in Ellensburg, Wash., when she struck out five bat-
ters and surrendered only one run to the Central Washington Wildcats while her teammates scored seven times. That victory was a bit of payback for the 13-0 drubbing the Clan received in the day’s first game. • On Monday, longtime
Clan softball coach Mike Renney announced his retirement at the end of the season. The team’s 10-6 win over Saint Martin’s University the day before was his 1,000th game since he took over as SFU’s softball program in 1994.
