Cougar sighting in PoMo MARio BARTEl
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Visitors to Bert Flinn Park in Port Moody are being warned to stay alert after a cougar was spotted in the southern part of the park. “It did not show signs of aggressive behaviour and it made an effort to avoid human interaction,” said a Tweet posted on the city’s Twitter account on Tuesday. Conservation officer Todd Hunter said the service gets about 40 calls of cougars being spotted in the Port Moody area every year, including a pair of the big cats that were spotted walking along the West Coast Express railway tracks in April. see aniMaL, page 14 MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody’s James Bettauer, a professional hockey player in Germany, is launching his portable tennis game — Backpack Tennis — on Kickstarter today and with a charity tournament on Trasolini Field on July 7. Matches can be played anywhere and on almost any surface, including a soccer pitch. For more, see story on page 32.

More office space sought in City Centre GRANT GRANGER THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sure residential development has been going great guns in Coquitlam’s City Centre neighbourhood ever since the
municipality came up a with an area plan a decade ago. But not when it comes to office space. A report presented by Bruce Irvine, manager of planning projects and community plan-
ning, to council on Monday said City Centre has fallen behind what was envisioned back in 2008. He said if the city chose to stay the course the neighbourhood would still thrive and
benefit, however he suggested council could take a more aggressive approach to transform it into a true downtown. In his written report, Irvine proposed potential strategies could include developing
“catalyst civic and community amenity projects, and establishing viable character areas such as an arts district or an entertainment district.” see attracting, page 9

Three photos of a bear walking into a backyard, snagging a bag of groceries and eating a raw chicken carcass he plucked from the bag. The incident, which took place in the Chineside neighbourhood of Coquitlam, was reported to the BC Conservation Officer Service on Tuesday.
BEAR AWARE
Hefty fines levied for animal attractants Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
A small, skinny adolescent bear with a bald patch on his backside could be in for a rough summer if he doesn’t stay away from human garbage. But the bruin that pulled a raw chicken out of an unsecured waste bin in the Chineside neighbourhood of Coquitlam Tuesday morning and came back on garbage pickup day Thursday for more can’t be blamed for feeding his appetite, says Sgt. Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Service. “The bear was eating a neighbour’s raw meat groceries in the back yard,” Hunter told The Tri-City News Wednesday. “We did receive a report yesterday to our call centre and we’re going to see what we can do for a response.” Hunter said bears are emerging from their dens extremely hungry and there is not a lot for them to eat besides grass. Consequently, they’ll move to an area where garbage isn’t locked up and dig in for some high-calorie food waste. Meanwhile, property owners who leave those carts unsecured could get a $230 fine for leaving attractants out, with fines ramping up to $575 under

Sgt. Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Service is warning people to lock up their animal attractants to avoid luring wildlife, such as bears, to their neighbourhoods. the Wildlife Act if they don’t follow through on an order to clean up their yard. Cities will also levy their own fines for disobeying garbage bylaws. “It’s imperative that people manage their food waste and manage their yards properly to not attract bears,” Hunter said. Already this spring four bears have been destroyed in the Tri-Cities — two in Coquitlam and two in Port Coquitlam — after becoming habituated to human garbage and causing conflicts. “The bears were showing extreme signs of habituation, opening stuff and trying to get into unnatural food sources.”
Hunter said calls to the Conservation Officer Service are roughly on par with last year or a little higher, with the CO service receiving 150 conflict calls from Coquitlam since the beginning of April, 158 from Port Coquitlam, 43 from Port Moody, six from Anmore and seven from Belcarra. “June it will go up even higher — definitely in June we’ll get a spike [in calls],” Hunter predicted. To try and get a handle on the situation, the CO service will be working with municipalities to hand out fines and warnings and will be cracking down on those that haven’t complied with wildlife orders
to secure attractants. Some big offenders could even be going to court in the future pending the outcome of investigations. “Definitely we need public support to stop leaving out their garbage. Bottom line is bears are being attracted to properties.” In the Chineside neighbourhood the garbage had been left unsecured. The neighbour who reported this to The TriCity News pointed out the area hadn’t had a bear issue until someone left their waste cart unsecured. “Due to just one thoughtless human action one bear is now a potential liability to itself,” the neighbour commented in an email to The News. Now this bear will have to be monitored because it is becoming habituated to human attractants despite efforts by the city of Coquitlam to change garbage pick up times to ensure that bear-prone areas get their green waste bin collected first. Hunter recommends people lock up their waste bins, clean out their barbecue grease catchers and stop using bird feed. Other tips can be found at the BC Conservation Officer Service tab on the Government of B.C. website and at your local city hall.

BEAR AWARE EDUCATION TEAMS
Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam are clamping down on residents who leave their garbage unsecured as bears start moving into neighbourhoods seeking high-calorie food. In Coquitlam, as many as 62 homes have been ticketed with $500 fines this year with 339 warnings handed out. City officials have also responded to 252 calls. In Port Coquitlam, meanwhile, 83 warnings have been handed out to residents not locking up their food waste with three $150 tickets issued for unsecured wildlife attractants. Both cities have teams of people working on education and enforcement in the city. In PoCo, for example, two ambassadors have been hired to explain to residents how to sort their waste, lock their waste carts and follow water restrictions. They will also issue warnings for non-compliance. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

PROVINCIAL POLITICS
Pay bump coming for min. wage workers Starting today (Friday) B.C.’s minimum wage workers will see their wages rise as the minimum wage will be increased for hourly employees as well as liquor servers, resident caretakers and live-in camp leaders. The increases are the result of recommendations from the independent Fair Wages Commission, according to the provincial government, although higher minimum wages have been criticized by some business groups. It’s all part of a plan announced by the BC NDP government in February that will see B.C. reach a $15.20 hourly minimum wage by June, 2021. In a report this week, the Fraser Institute noted that most minimum wage earners are not poor or sole-income earners for a household but in fact a majority (55.7%) were teenagers or young adults 15 to 24, who could be hurt by reduced employment opportunities. Meanwhile, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives states residents of Metro Vancouver need to make $20.81 an hour to get by raising a family in 2018. That’s the “living wage” defined as the hourly wage that two working parents with young children must earn to meet their basic expenses.
VOTE ON HOW WE VOTE
The B.C. government is gearing up for a fall referendum to allow voters to choose a system for electing their MLAs in upcoming elections. The recommendations were contained in a report released by Attorney General David Eby Wednesday. “British Columbians made their voices and their values heard, and it was important we gave them the opportunity to direct how this referendum should work,” said Eby. Beginning July 1, a campaign will begin to inform voters about their options and between Oct.22 and Nov. 30 voters will be able to cast ballots in a mail-in vote on whether B.C. keeps its current first past the post (FPTP) voting system or moves to a system of proportional representation (PR). The ballot will offer two questions. Voters will be asked to choose between the current first past the post voting system and a proportional representation system. Voters then have the choice of ranking their preference for three different proportional representation systems, which are described in the report How We Vote 2019 Electoral Reform and Referendum Report. Eby’s report stipulates that any proportional representation system should not significantly increase the size of the legislature or reduce significantly the number of MLAs in any region. As well, parties that receive less than 5% of the overall vote in the province or region won’t be eligible for a seat. According to the B.C. government announcement this week, the following wage increases will be in effect June 1: • General minimum wage increases 11.5% to $12.65 per hour, an increase of $1.30 per hour. • Liquor server minimum wage increases 12.9% to $11.40
per hour, an increase of $1.30 per hour. • Resident caretaker minimum wage per month, will increase 11.5% to $759.32 for those that manage from nine to 60 units (plus $30.43 per unit), or $2,586.40, for 61 or more units.

50-plus crowd connects at Wilson Centre Community connections leads to good health Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam has one of the lowest rates of social isolation among residents in Metro Vancouver and places such as Wilson Centre for people 50-plus might be one of the reasons why. On any day of the week you’ll find happy groups of people having coffee together, playing bridge, competing in carpet bowling and participating in any number of health, fitness and recreational programs. They are socializing and making friends, as recommended by Fraser Health, and are reaping the benefits through good physical and mental health. For long-time resident Karen Dobson, 77, Wilson Centre is where she meets her friends, plays cards and attends special events. Occasionally, she’ll compete against her son, who is 57, in a game of carpet bowling. He’s also a Wilson Centre member, and a pretty good carpet bowl player, too, she admits. Dobson agrees with Fraser Health’s assertion that social connection can help people deal with stress and loneliness, and seeing friends can be a motivation to get off the couch and take a walk. “It gets me out of the house so I don’t waste the day and it doesn’t take much to get here,” said Dobson, who walks from her home to the centre located

Social connection is key to mental and physical wellness, according to Fraser Health, and Wilson Centre for people 50 years and older provides opportunities for members to participate in programs and make friends. Clockwise from top left: Julius Oszterman enjoys a bowl of beef soup at Wilson Centre; Joan Pflug prepares to bowl; and Joan Gould enjoys many of the physical fitness and yoga programs at Wilson Centre. at 2150 Wilson Avenue. According to Fraser Health’s My Health Community report, having a strong sense of community belonging and having people to confide in is key to quality of life, and people who have these connections are 2.6 times more likely to report being in good health and 3.2 times more likely to report good mental health. Sadly, the opposite is true for people with poor social connection, who are more likely to
die prematurely, with isolation having an effect as strong as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. To better understand this emerging public health issue, Fraser Health asked residents about two key indicators of social connection: sense of community belonging and how many people they have to confide in. The result is a report that shows that Tri-City residents are among the most connected in the region, with only 3.8%
in Coquitlam reporting social isolation and 3.6% in Port Coquitlam. Most cities had higher levels of social isolation, according to the data summary sheet while Port Moody’s rate was not included because the sample size was too small. However, the Fraser Health survey found that while adults aged 40 to 64 reported experiencing higher levels of isolation (7.7%), that number drops as they age, with only 5.7% of people 65 or older reporting
experiences of social isolation. Julius Oszterman, 82 and a retired painter, said he’s been a Wilson Centre member as long as the facility has been around and comes daily to play pool with his friends. “You have to have a place to go to,” he said. “It’s healthy if you’ve got something to do.” Joan Gould, a retired certified management accountant, is on the Wilson Centre advisory board and says members take great interest in ensur-
ing the place is welcoming. Volunteers will help people with mobility challenges or a physical disability get to their class or program and there is much discussion about how to make it easier for people who have difficulty walking to to gain access. “For someone with mobility issues, it can be a challenge.” Gould, 78, recalls how lethargic she felt when Wilson Centre was shut down for two weeks at Christmas, acknowledging the importance of having a place to go for people. “I had nothing to look forward to,” she recalls. At Wilson Centre, it’s clear that regular members find a sense of community. Membership dipped with news of changes at the centre due to construction of the new recreation complex, but other people have joined up in the last year and there are between 50 and 60 programs for people to choose from. But in the end, it’s the relationships that are important, and that hasn’t changed, said program assistant Carmel Lepine. “We’re developing new friends and relationships,” Lepine said. • Wilson Centre remains open during construction and registration for summer for 50-plus programs is already underway.

Council members were all for being bolder in a bid to attract the business to City Centre it envisioned a decade ago. “It’s easy to be critical in hindsight, mostly because we didn’t have policies strong enough to make sure those things happened,” said Coun. Chris Wilson. “Now we’re at a point where we’ve had a lot of development in the area… [But] we have not achieved what we hoped to achieve.” Wilson noted Port Moody recently got an eight-storey office building when a developer, Onni, decided it would be a better option than the hotel it first proposed for its Suter Brook development while Coquitlam has had no new office space development. “Our policies need to be stronger,” said Wilson. “We
need to be more demanding. We need to start to require more [office space] in new development. The current land owners have made a lot more money than we ever thought. “We have such potential, but we really have to make it happen. We can’t be as tentative as we have been.” Coun. Brent Asmundson believes a moratorium should be put on office space being built in downtown Vancouver so it could be spread throughout the region which would ease the pressure on its transportation systems. Mayor Richard Stewart said the city needs to focus on what direction it should go. But, he added, the city can be handcuffed because the market is highly skewed toward downtown Vancouver and Coquitlam is one of the “victims of a system that makes a
lot of those decisions for us.” “We have to find a way to get those employment land uses in our City Centre,” said Stewart. However, Coun. Terry O’Neill said with office vacancy rates falling in the region the city might not need to create incentives because the situation could “actually take care of itself.” Irvine said the staff is still doing background work on how the city could become more “aspirational” in attracting business, and when it’s done will present the ideas to council in a workshop. He also said he’s picked up a few ideas to consider during the discussion with council. In the meantime, the city held a community info session on the future of City Centre at Coquitlam Centre on Tuesday. Another will be held Saturday, June 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Coun. Mae Reid said the biggest concern the high walls have caused her is the safety. “It’s pretty scary up there,” said Reid at a public hearing Monday. Mayor Richard Stewart said the new high walls don’t look as solid as the old ones even though they’ve been built to engineering standards. “It’s probably safe enough, but it doesn’t look like it instills confidence,” said Stewart.

Coq. puts restrictions on size of retaining walls development across Burke Mountain is creating attractive, desirable communities, the steeper slopes have been challenging. The result recently is subdivisions resorting to increasingly large retaining walls. The report said there are examples of walls being 6.8 to 10 metres high, and in some rare cases up to 14 metres. Limiting their height would “help ensure that visually attractive, livable communities continue to be created,” said the report.

Charges laid after video ID’s suspect Arrest took place in Heritage Mtn. area on May 10
A sharp-eyed Port Moody resident with a video surveillance system was able to catch a thief in the act and now police are recommending charges against a man who was stealing from cars. The arrest took place in the early morning hours of May 10, when several members of the Port Moody Police Department were investigating reports of theft from autos in the Heritage Mountain area, which had been experiencing a spike in vehicle break-ins. Police were working in the area at about 4:30 a.m. when a resident of Greenleaf Drive called to report that within the past 20 minutes someone had attempted to obtain access to his truck by pulling the door handles. “The resident advised that he was able to capture the suspect on surveillance video,” said Const. Jason Maschke in a press release. Consequently, police were

A slash fire for the disposal of trees and underbrush on Kwikwetlem First Nation land off Pitt River Road in Port Coquitlam is not breaking any rules, according to the Port Coquitlam fire chief. PoCo fire has received numerous calls about the blaze that can be seen from the road as a smoky haze and attended four times over the week, said Chief Nick Delmonico. But the land is not controlled by city regulations so the PoCo fire department has no jurisdiction. However, efforts have been made to ensure the blaze adheres to current provincial fire restrictions. “It’s not like they’re errantly burning something,” Delmonico said, noting that the fire is of a size and depth that is allowable under a Category 2 fire restriction and materials being burned are organic. As well, a water truck was on hand 24 hours a day. Burning started on Monday and continued through the week. @dstrandbergTC
able to get a detailed description of the suspect and forward it to other members patrolling the area. A short time later, police received a second call from another nearby resident who reported seeing a suspicious male peering inside parked vehicles near Cranberry Court and Sycamore Drive. Police noted that the suspect descriptors of both incidents were consistent.
“As a result, police quickly intercepted a male who matched these descriptions. While investigating him, attending officers observed several vehicles within the vicinity had recently been rummaged through. The suspect was subsequently placed under arrest. A search of him revealed a quantity of stolen property associated to the prior reported theft from autos,”
Maschke further stated. It turned out the suspect was also in breach of his probation. He was subsequently transported to police cells where he would be held in custody for court. PMPD have now recommended charges to Crown Counsel for multiple counts of possession of property obtained by crime, in addition to a charge for breach of probation. Anyone with information regarding
What’s going on with car insurance in B.C.? It’s no secret car insurance has been getting more and more expensive. Ever wondered why? For a start, there are more and more crashes. In fact, each year there are about 300,000 crashes on our roads – that’s close to 820 per day. More crashes lead to more insurance claims. In BC, there has been a sharp increase in both injury and vehicle damage claims. What’s more, the costs of these claims have gone up. Injury claims alone cost close to $3 billion a year.
So what’s being done about this? You may have heard the provincial government and ICBC have announced changes to car insurance in B.C. Under the new plan, more money will be available for your medical care, treatments and other benefits, like wage loss. The changes include: • Doubling of the overall money available for medical care and treatment. • More types of treatments covered including kinesiology, acupuncture, counselling and massage therapy. This means you won’t need to wait for approval. • More money covered by ICBC for individual treatments. • Higher wage loss payments and benefits for household support.
How is this possible? To allow more money for the care of people injured in crashes, the government has also announced it will introduce a $5,500 limit on pain and suffering payouts for minor injuries. This means the amount of money you can receive for the emotional distress of being in crash will be limited. But this limit is entirely separate from the money available to you for medical care and the other benefits described above. In fact, with the new changes these benefits are actually going up. This limit will not apply to major or catastrophic injury claims – like broken bones or brain injuries.

this matter is asked to contact the PMPD or Crime Stoppers at bccrimestoppers.com and residents are reminded to ensure their vehicles are locked securely and all valuables are removed at night. “Thieves work in the daytime and at night,” said Maschke. “If you see any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood, please call us.”

Will I still be covered? The limit on pain and suffering payments does not take away your right to a hire lawyer or seek compensation for any additional economic losses. Just the same as today, if you are injured in a crash and not at-fault, you can get more money for wage loss and treatment costs over and above what is covered by ICBC accident benefits.
So who decides if an injury is minor? Under the new plan, just like today, a medical professional – not ICBC – will determine the diagnosis of your injuries and this will be used to establish whether it falls under the definition of a minor injury or not.
How will the definition of a minor injury be determined? The government and ICBC have been consulting with medical treatment providers to determine what types of injuries would fall under a minor injury definition. Over the coming months, this definition will be refined through regulation while still working with medical professionals for their input. In addition, other jurisdictions that already have a definition in place will also be reviewed in order to learn from past experience.
What if I disagree with my claim? Under our new plan, if you have concerns about your injury claim, there will be a new, independent dispute resolution process starting April 1, 2019. If you disagree with ICBC, based on the new plan, the Civil Resolution Tribunal will make decisions on the: • classification of an injury as a minor injury • entitlement to receive accident benefits claimed • decisions around who is at fault in the crash and settlement amounts for all motor vehicle injury claims below a threshold that will not exceed $50,000.
Why are these changes needed? In order to cover rising claims costs, B.C. drivers would need to pay on average at least $400 more for their full basic and optional coverage by next year – an average premium of approximately $2,100. These changes will stop you from paying rate increases of 30 per cent or more in 2019, while providing increased care for anyone injured in a crash.

Pipeline problems
M
any british Columbians may be aghast at the news the federal government bought the Trans Mountain pipeline. but an equal number may believe the federal Liberals had no choice but to step in to ensure the project goes ahead. Still, for taxpayers, the news is a head shaker. despite protestations to the contrary, there is no guarantee that the federal government will come out a winner. If this project was so lucrative and certain, the Texas-based company wouldn’t have sold. Granted, some of that risk was taken on by the province of alberta that has agreed to put up $2 billion to cover unexpected costs during the $4.5 billion sale or construction phase. (The purchase price includes the existing pipeline, the pumping stations and rights of way, and the Westridge marine terminal in burnaby). What we don’t know is if there will be a buyer at the end of the day and what the costs of constructing the project will be. as well, there are a number of cases before the court that could delay or jeopardize the project. The Liberals claim bC NdP premier John Horgan forced their hand but it is more likely that Trans Mountain had the federal government in a tight spot.

Vegas rips hole in sports-time continuum S
ometimes sports are just sports, but sometimes they are so much more, offering glimpses into the essence of human achievement and suffering, forcing even the burliest of sports fans to look deep into their own souls. This year’s Stanley Cup final, which got underway Monday in Las vegas, is one of those events. The competition presents questions which cut to our very core, questions ANDY PREST we may never answer satisfactorily. but we must try to get to the bottom of this year’s Stanley Cup race and find out what it means for us as a sports-loving species. Here’s what we need to learn. • Question 1: What is going on here? The Stanley Cup finals began in… Las vegas? featuring a team that didn’t even exist a year ago? and these “Golden Knights” won Game 1? and they’re playing against the Washington Capitals? a team whose soul didn’t even exist a year ago?

this is one of the most baffling championship matchups in the history of sports. an expansion team against an ovechkin team — two entities which before this season were the most inert things since argon, xenon and radon. • Question 2: Seriously, can you name three players on the Las Vegas Golden Knights? Marc-andre fleury! That’s one. and James Neal is there too, right? and Karlson? No, not that Karlson. Karlsson maybe? or Karlsssson? and, um... Mike Peca? Hakan Loob? Wayne Newton? • Question 3: Why do we do this to ourselves? This is the question that all the fans of the many title-less, tough luck or downright terrible teams are asking themselves right now. The vancouver Canucks. The buffalo bills. The Toronto Maple Leafs. The Cleveland browns. The vancouver Canucks. The Toronto Maple Leafs. The detroit Lions. The vancouver Canucks. There are 50-year-old fans for all of those teams who have devoted their entire lives to their beloved franchises without ever tasting a championship. • Question 4: How is Las Vegas doing this? There are age-old truisms that any sports radio talking head can pontificate on for hours on end, pausing only briefly to do a quick on-air read for budget brake & Muffler.
Chemistry matters. Continuity matters. defence wins championships. Superstars win championships. Your best players have to be your best players in the playoffs. Get your brakes checked and tires rotated every six months. To these truisms the Golden Knights say, fakeNews! Chemistry? They haven’t even learned all of each other’s names yet. best players? does vegas have good players? defence? Nothing spectacular there behind the top pairing of Siegfried and Roy. The only one truism the Golden Knights nail is the old ‘Ride a hot goaltender to the Cup’ theory. also, their mufflers are pristine. • Question 5: And the Washington Capitals are involved? That’s right, the team that we’re relying on to maintain some semblance of order in the sports universe just happens to be the chokingest hockey team of recent memory. The Caps winning would be almost as incredible as the Golden Knights winning. but this almost seems like destiny — losing a Stanley Cup final against an expansion team would no doubt be the Capsiest way to lose a Stanley Cup final. or maybe we should just forget this ever happened. You know what they say: what happens in vegas, stays in vegas. Andy Prest is a reporter for The Tri-City News’ sister publication The North Shore News and writes a biweekly humour/lifestyle column.

Pipeline project raises concerns The Editor, Re. “Pipeline posturing raises questions for B.C.’s future (Letters, The Tri-City News, May 25). I am also upset by the continuing fight over the Kinder Morgan pipeline. I worry about the reputation of Kinder Morgan and it’s record of major spills occurring at least once a year. They also have not figured
out how to clean up bitumen. They have to dredge, at least once a year, under Lion’s Gate bridge for the tankers to go through. There are three SeaBuses that go continually through the inlet. There are cruise ships, other smaller tankers, barges and an airport for helicopters and float planes. The cities are left to clean up the messes the pipeline
leaves behind. These small communities cannot afford this. The pipeline is not going the same route so another disruption will be necessary in the cities it goes through such as Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Burnaby. The pipeline is going over creeks that spawn salmon and that will be the end of them. Most importantly China
does not want our bitumen. They are way ahead of us in renewable resources. Our crude oil is unrefined so the price is low on the market. It would start to cost more to extract it in a couple of years than what we would get for it. I am also anxious for all the reasons above and this makes me very unhappy also.

The Editor, Coquitlam council congratulated itself that this year’s tax increase of 2.06% is the “lowest increase in over 20 years.” Really? Obviously across the board, property assessments are up dramatically in 2017. We were assured that the mill rate would be fairly adjusted and taxes would be reasonable. I am now a senior and even with the grant, taxes on my aging condo increased by 69.1%. In my community, neighbours are also suffer whopping increases. If I qualified for only the basic grant, my increase would be 48.9%. Assessments are based primarily upon comparables. Thousands of Coquitlam taxpayers are also bitten hard by unfairness, political ignorance and lined-up developers. A few well-placed others do not deserve massive tax-breaks to bring the burden down to an illusion of only a 2.06% overall balance. Saying it is the lowest tax increase in over 20 years is a blatant manipulated falsehood. So, who “really” benefited? I know who I will not be voting for next time. It won’t be for those spewing false facts. Bernie Archer Coquitlam

Shoreline shuttle launches today Pilot project will connect different business areas
There’s going to be a new way to get around Port Moody on weekend afternoon and evenings beginning today (Friday). The Shoreline Shuttle is a summer-long pilot project to provide free transportation between Inlet Centre, Rocky Point Park and Moody Centre. The 20-passenger bus (or 16 plus two wheelchairs) will run a one-way loop approximately every 30 minutes from 4 p.m. to midnight on Fridays, 1 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays, and 1 to 10 p.m. on Sundays, until Sept. 3. The schedule will also be adjusted for holidays like Canada Day, B.C. Day and Labour Day, as well as special events like the city’s car-free day in August and RibFest. Port Moody mayor Mike Clay said he hopes the service will encourage residents to leave their cars at home. “It’s… going to help people access our business areas,” he said. In March, Port Moody council approved the expenditure of $50,000 to contract the bus operator as well as install signage for the shuttle’s 13 stops. Amelia Norrie, one of the organizers of the city’s night market that launches its second season in July, said the service will relieve some of the parking pressure at Rocky Point Park, especially
when the area gets busy with summer events like the market, concerts and festivals. Celia Chiang, who owns a flower shop in Newport Village and helps organize a Shop Local campaign amongst city businesses, said the shuttle service will be an opportunity for businesses to reach new customers.

COQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT
Tower plans approved despite concerns Right development for the area, says Coq. councillors GRANT GRANGER THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A 40-storey tower for Coquitlam City Centre got the green light from council Monday despite several speakers fearing the area would become “a concrete jungle.” A 273-unit project proposal by Polygon was panned at a public hearing for bringing too much density to the downtown area of Coquitlam. The highrise is planned to be built on five lots at the corner of Westwood Street and Glen Drive. In addition to it, more of the same is on the way with a proposal from Onni Group in the works to build three more towers next door. “Forty storeys on one-acre of land is a lot,” said Ann Mackay, who lives in a four-storey building on Heffley Crescent. “How much would this be adding to the traffic, both the pedestrian traffic and the car traffic, especially on Heffley Crescent? Already on Heffley we have another 40-storey building which is the Obelisk [1178 Heffley Cres.]. There’s

Future towers in the early planning stages by the Onni Group are to the left of Polygon’s tower. a lot of activity on that street already with people being dropped off and picked up. “There’s a certain amount of noise, there’s a certain amount of pressure on traffic. It’s fairly well lit. I have a concern about light pollution. There’s a fair amount of light coming off
these towers. The increase in density, if you’re looking at how many people, could potentially bring another 500 to 600 people to the area.” Mackay said there’s already a lot of noise from fire trucks at Obelisk as well as delivery vehicles for retail outlets in the
area. She added along with the current high rises, Polygon’s proposal will put her building “almost in darkness.” Neal Nicholson said council should wait and deal with the two proposals at the same time because together they will take
up a full city block. “This is not ready for decision,” said Nicholson, a former city councillor who lives a block away. “It’s a big significant site and it should be looked at as one.” A Polygon representative said the company will be working with Onni on developing the entire block. Polygon’s proposal calls for 222 market and 51 rental units with a five-floor podium with four floors of office space and ground-level retail. Mayor Richard Stewart said the proposed density has long been part of the city and the region’s community plans for the area. “We have to as a council... embrace the plan before us [from Polygon] or revise it. I heard nothing tonight that said we shouldn’t embrace it,” said Stewart at the regular council meeting later. “The people that spoke tonight all live in buildings that were opposed in some way when they were proposed.” Coun. Brent Asmundson said the building will be an asset that fits well within the community. “We are the regional city centre for this area. This is why the SkyTrain came here,” said Asmundson, who noted
only 12 people came out when 1,841 notifications of the public hearing were sent out. “They understand this density was planned all the time. This is the right area for it.” Coun. Dennis Marsden said the proposal delivers on producing much-needed office space for the area. “This ticks a lot of boxes for me, including one thing that wasn’t mentioned before, and that’s purpose-built rental,” said Marsden. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo was the lone vote opposed to second and third readings of Polygon’s rezoning application. She said she was torn after listening to the speakers. “We need to start thinking this is where people live,” said Zarrillo, “[and] how we are affecting people’s lives and not listening to them.” She finds “it really annoying” the city doesn’t have a density target for the area. “There’s no lid on the number of units in here. We don’t talk about the effect on people’s lives,” said Zarrillo, who added she has gone door knocking in the area the last three months. “People are tired and they feel like we’re not listening with them. I’m finding it real hard to stop thinking about those people’s faces.”

City: Plaque purchases not in perpetuity $400 to keep bench tribute for another decade GRANT GRANGER THE TRI-CITY NEWS
When Tony Paré decided to honour his in-laws, who were long-time Coquitlam residents, with a park bench he thought, like a cemetery headstone, he’d purchased the plaque that went with it in perpetuity. Turned out perpetuity had an expiry date. Paré discovered that April 22 when he went took his kids to the bench in Como Lake Park — across the street from where his wife’s parents were longtime land owners and residents — to connect with their grandparents and discovered the plaque had been removed. “I purchased the memorial park bench in absolute good faith to honour my family who were lakeside pioneers,” wrote Paré in a letter to the city. He subsequently discovered, after contacting city hall, it would cost $400 to have the tribute renewed for 10 years. The city changed its park gift program policy in 2015. When the tributes were first sold, said Coquitlam parks manager Kathleen Reinheimer, there was no description of what would happen at the end of a

Como Lake area resident Tony Paré said he was shocked last month to discover that a park bench plaque he purchased in 1998 had been removed. bench’s lifespan. “It wasn’t explicit enough in the paperwork at the time,” said Reinheimer. But in the last few years many municipalities, including Coquitlam, have realized the practicalities of such a program needed refinement, and
lifespan was an issue so they adopted renewal policies, said Reinheimer. “A bench doesn’t last forever,” she said. When the policy was changed, those who had purchased park gifts were notified, although getting a hold of

DESIGN PROJECT
every one of them was a challenge because many had relocated, said Reinheimer. She added the change “generated a lot of conversation” and there were some who were unhappy because they had made the same assumption as Paré. “We can’t honour that no-
tion that it is in perpetuity,” said Reinheimer. Paré claims he was not contacted even though he still lives at the same address as the day he purchased the bench (April 2, 1998). He said the city should have grandfathered the plaques purchased prior to the
policy change. “This is outright blackmail and about as low as low can get,” wrote Paré. “It’s just a money grab from those councillors who have no conscience or respect for the citizens of Coquitlam who have passed on and also to their surviving family members.” According to Reinheimer, if Paré pays the $400 for the 10year renewal, but the bench needs to be replaced down the road, the city would pay for it. Under the city’s park amenity donation program, a new bench would cost purchasers $2,500 with a $400 10-year renewal. Adopting an existing park bench has a price tag of $1,250 with a $400 10-year renewal. The program has expanded exponentially over the last two decades. Also available in Coquitlam parks are picnic tables ($4,500 with $600 renewal), trees ($1,000), Adirondack style chairs ($2,500/$400), games tables ($4,000/$600), outdoor foosball tables ($5,500), outdoor table tennis tables ($10,500), and picnic shelters ($20,000 to $50,000 depending on size). In addition, playground donations, outdoor exercise equipment and youth sport courts can be donated with the cost determined at the time of the donation. -with file from Gary McKenna

According to a Genworth Canada study, 59% of millennials own a home.
REAL ESTATE
Most millennials own property, says new study FRANK O’BRIEN BUSINESS IN VANCOUVER
Perhaps to the surprise of many, the majority of adult Canadians between the ages of 23 and 38 have already bought a home, according to study from Genworth Canada. Millennials, defined as those born between 1980 and 1995, are “the engine” driving the housing market, stated the second-largest mortgage insurer in Canada. The national study commissioned by Genworth found that 59% of millennials own a home. As well, many bought in the last two years even as government measures ramped up to curtail demand. Among those who own their homes, 30% of millennials bought a home in the past two years, compared with just 9% of older Canadians, the survey found. “Over the next two years, an-
other 30% of millennials plan on making their first home purchase, making them the engine of the real estate market,” the study stated. “It is encouraging to see the high level of financial confidence coming from first-time homebuyers and homeowners,” said Stuart Levings, president and CEO of Genworth Canada. The annual poll was completed in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Credit Counselling Services from February 8 to March 27, 2018, among 2,000 Canadians. The survey results fly in the face of previous studies — and many pundits — suggesting high home prices have derailed the homeownership dreams of young adults. Genworth did not provide a breakdown of where the millennials were buying. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

PoCo biz hopes pets go buggy for new food Company using insect protein to feed family pets Mario Bartel

Inna Shekhtman, the CEO of Red Dog Blue Kat pet food, in the company’s Port Coquitlam lab with a tray of partially dehydrated black soldier flies it's mixing as a protein source into its ECO line of food for dogs and cats. prices for the 11 types of meat it uses in its raw pet foods, from beef to herring to turkey to kangaroo as well as a desire to create products that are more
sustainable and nutritious. “Insects offer a powerful source of protein and can be grown for a fraction of the environmental footprint of tra-
ditional livestock,” Shekhtman said. The company considered commercially raised crickets and mealworms but chose the
larvae of black soldier flies because they’re abundant in protein and minerals like calcium and manganese, as well as omega-3 fatty acids that are an

The first time Inna Shekhtman and her product developer at Red Dog Blue Kat pet food manufacturer in Port Coquitlam fed pet food containing insect protein to one of their dogs, it rolled in it. That meant it liked the smell, but couldn’t quite make sense of the taste, said Shekhtman, Red Dog Blue Kat’s owner and CEO. Several refinements later and the company is rolling out its new ECO Recipe line of food for dogs and cats that contains 20% insect protein. They’re also the first pet food manufacturer in Canada to go where most humans have so far feared to tread. Shekhtman said overcoming human squeamishness about bugs as a food source is one of the company’s biggest hurdles. But the dogs, and especially the cats, seem to love it. The latter, Shekhtman admitted, came as a bit of a surprise. “Cats are so picky,” she said. Red Dog Blue Kat’s quest for alternate protein sources was sparked by the ever-rising
invaluable anti-inflammatory. They also feed on waste, essentially converting it into food. Red Dog Blue Kat sources the larvae from Enterra Feed, a Langley-based company that only received new approvals to sell its insect-based ingredients for animal feeds last February. The larvae are raised at a special farm in Langley and shipped dehydrated so they don’t escape or allow stray eggs to spread. The larvae are then partially rehydrated before being mixed in with the meats and vegetables like lettuce, kale, zucchini, celery and yams that comprise the ingredients for Red Dog Blue Kat’s pet foods. “As an ingredient, it’s really easy to work with,” Shekhtman said. How it tastes is uncertain, she said. Because the only way to tell if animals like a food is whether they actually eat it or scorn it. One way to get a reluctant pet to become an ardent devourer is to play to its heightened sense of smell by lightly blanching a new food to bring out its odours, Shekhtman suggested. So if Fido decides to chow down after going for a roll, you know you’ve served up a winner. For more information about Red Dog Blue Kat’s pet foods, go to www.reddogbluekat. com.

Summertime fragrance with these flowers IN THE GARDEN
BRIAN MINTER
S
ummertime in our gardens should be the ultimate outdoor sensory retreat. The wonderful long evenings on the deck or patio should be the antidote to the stress we all feel during our busy days. The big question is can our decks, patios and gardens meet the challenge? Summer colour and how we blend analogous tones together is very important, but fragrance is perhaps the most important when it comes to creating that sensory refill. Ironically, most of the colour with which we surround ourselves has little perfume. It’s time to add the fragrance! As easy as it sounds, finding lasting perfume is more of a challenge than most of us think. Finding plants that will accommodate sun or shade, be compatible with other plants and continue to perfume all summer is possible, but we all need to think out of the flower box just a little. Heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens) is one of the most universal of all the summer blooming plants. However, not all heliotropes are created equal. Some of the new varieties are far more compact but have little perfume. The very best is still the nameless oldfashioned variety that has that lingering scent of baby powder. It’s versatile enough to be used in hanging baskets, containers or in bed plantings. It will, as most heliotrope varieties, do well in shade or sun. My second favourite variety is Sachet. It is a very dark foliaged variety with fragrant deep lavender-purple blooms. Its rich dark foliage provides wonderful contrast with pink,
white or silver flowers and with other foliage. It’s also a compact grower and well suited to containers and plantings. Blue Marine, another compact dark foliaged variety, produces fragrant deep blue flowers about 10 cm across and grows only 25 cm tall and wide. When folks ask for a flowering shrub that blooms all summer with a nice perfume, one plant leaps ahead of all others: the Butterfly Bush. Native to China, Japan and other parts of Asia as well as Chile, Mexico and the U.S., there are at least seven different species, all unique in their own ways. The greatest challenge for many species is their invasive nature and there are now many regions in North America, including British Columbia, Oregon and Washington, where gardeners are encouraged not to plant them. The great news is there are now many new varieties which are sterile and do not pose this very important environmental concern. Another too often overlooked fragrant plant is Spanish broom (Spartium junceum). This tender zone seven plant needs a protected sunny dry spot but will bloom with huge fragrant yellow pea-like flowers from early summer through autumn. It has a wonderful perfume that seems to carry throughout our patios and gardens. Spartium does very well in containers or in the ground at the edge of patios. It has virtually no leaves, but its rush-like stems make interesting focal points. It’s a must have plant. If you do a little searching, you’ll discover many more garden jewels that have a delightful summer perfume, like fragrant hostas, perfumed roses, clethra (summer sweet) and summer blooming Jasminum officinale. Fragrance makes a huge difference to the enjoyment and appreciation of our summer garden and to our senses. Please try to include even a little fragrance in each bed or container.

PoMo hockey player has tennis in the bag Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
James Bettauer loves tennis. But finding the time and a place to play isn’t always easy when you’re living a nomadic life as a professional hockey player in Germany. So the 27-year-old Port Moody native reached back into his childhood to find a way to scratch his itch to play tennis anytime, any place. Now he’s hoping his Backpack Tennis invention will help set him up for a business career when his hockey days are done. Bettauer, who played minor hockey in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, parlayed his junior career with the Penticton Vees of the BC Hockey League and the Chilliwack Bruins of the Western Hockey League into a series of two-year contracts with first division teams in Germany, from Hamburg to Augsburg to Straubing. In the fall, he’ll begin a new stint with Krefeld Pinguine. But tennis runs in Bettauer’s blood. His uncle, Robert, is a former professional player and national coach who guided Canada’s tennis teams at the Summer Olympics in Barcelona and Seoul, South Korea, as well as served as a commentator on televised matches. And Bettauer has fond memories of long summer afternoons exchanging volleys with his cousin in Penticton. But court time wasn’t always readily available in the
MARIO BARTEL/ThE TRI-cITy nEwS
Port Moody’s James Bettauer, a professional hockey player in Germany, has invented a unique solution to busy, overbooked tennis courts by carrying everything he needs to set up a match in a nylon sling bag. He’s launching his Backpack Tennis game on the crowdfunding website kickstarter.com today (Friday). busy vacation community, so Bettauer and his cousin dipped into his uncle’s bag of coaching tools he often used to help new players familiarize themselves with the game, or to make due with limited space. The small, portable net could be set up anywhere, and the lightweight kid-size racquets and highdensity foam ball provided a scaled-down facsimile of a fullsized match. Plus, it was a heck of a lot
of fun, Bettauer said, recalling impromptu tournaments with friends that provided plenty of smiles and laughter. Those fond memories stuck with Bettauer as he embarked upon his professional hockey career in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. He started fiddling with the design and engineering for a portable net that could be deployed on any surface in under two minutes. He experimented
with various types of ball and foam densities to find the right combination that would provide spirited play at a smaller scale. His guinea pigs for product research were often his teammates, as they’d use his latest iteration of portable tennis to warm up in the arena corridors before practices. Development continued during Bettauer’s off seasons back in British Columbia,
where he’d tote his game to the beach or parks for matches with his buddies or his girlfriend, a part-time tennis coach at the Port Moody rec centre. About a year ago, Bettauer decided to turn his portable adaptation of tennis into an actual product that could be used as a gentle introduction to the game or provide a ready solution to overbooked facilities. Without the benefit of busi-
ness education, other than watching his father run a pet store when he was growing up, Bettauer canvassed manufacturers for the portable net and oversized foam ball, secured bulk pricing for the racquets and sourced the small plastic cones that can be used to delineate lines. He then stuffed all the components into a nylon sling bag that could be easily carried over the shoulders and packed it around as he and his girlfriend travelled around Europe during breaks in the hockey schedule. They played impromptu matches below the Eiffel Tower, in front of Mont St. Michel, in the gardens of a German castle, and on the boardwalk of a Croatian lake. “We fell in love with the portability,” Bettauer said. “You can just start playing. It’s a great addition to the day.” Bettauer is officially launching Backpack Tennis for singles and doubles matches today (Friday) on the crowdfunding website, kickstarter.com. And on July 7 he’ll introduce the game publicly with a day-long tournament on Trasolini Field behind the Port Moody rec complex to benefit KidSport. Bettauer said the charity is important to him as it helped his family cover some of his hockey expenses when he was growing up. “I really wanted to start the company with a purpose,” he said. If Backpack Tennis is a hit, Bettauer’s ready to ride it to his next career. “I’m kinda taking this as my business degree,” he said. “I’m teaching myself by actually doing something.” • For more information about Backpack Tennis and the charity launch tournament, as well as a link to the Kickstarter page, go to www.backpacktennis.com.

Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs defender Matthew Kim holds up Port Coquitlam Saints forward Connor Frost in their BC Junior A Lacrosse League game, Wednesday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
BcJall
Adanacs fall to Saints Could a changing of the guard be nigh in the BC Junior A Lacrosse League? The Port Coquitlam Saints scored the last four goals of the game to erase a 4-1 deficit and defeat the Coquitlam Adanacs 5-4 Wednesday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. It’s the second loss of the season for the defending league champions — double the single setback they suffered last season — and drops them to fourth place in the league standings, a point behind the Saints and Victoria Shamrocks, and five points back of the leading New Westminster Salmonbellies. The Adanacs opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game when Kyle Nichols converted a pass from Ty Yanko and beat Port Coquitlam keeper Cam
Del Bianco in the second period while Overby faced only eight. PoCo continued to press in the third period, again outshooting their hosts 15-11. They finally broke through with a minute-and-a-half left in regulation time as Walters scored his second goal of the game to put the Saints in front. Overby stopped 34 of the 38 shots he faced in the Saints’ net, while his teammates fired 46 shots at Del Bianco. The Adanacs played the Langley Thunder, in Langley, Thursday (after The TriCity News print deadline) and they’ll face the Victoria Shamrocks at the Q Centre on Saturday afternoon. The Saints will host the Delta Islanders tonight (Friday), at 8 p.m. at the PoCo rec centre.
Overby. Dylan Kellough got the visitors on even terms before the first period was half over. But the Adanacs scored the next three —two of them by Chase Scanlan — to take a 4-1 lead early in the second period. That’s when a determined Saints team wrested control of the game. Clark Walters made it 4-2 with a power play goal midway through the second period, then Garrett Winter got the Saints to within a goal when he scored less than three minutes later. PoCo tied it with 2:39 left in the second period as Ryland Rees scored on the power play with the Adanacs’ Josh Goble cooling his heels in the box for a holding penalty. The Saints fired 20 shots at Coquitlam keeper Christian
