Protesters turned up at Coquitlam Public Library’s Poirier branch Tuesday evening as an anti-abortion group was holding a planning meeting to strategize for the upcoming federal election. Right Now had said it was launching its Operation 50 Tour, which is targeting 50 ridings across Canada with the intention of electing anti-abortion members of Parliament. The group met in the Nancy Bennett Room at the Poirier branch but were met by more than a dozen people protesting outside the building. “What’s going on in the [United] States is a big driving force,” said Victoria Schuetze, a Coquitlam resident and member of a pro-choice group

Fish kill source is still sought
Wasn’t that a party at rented Anmore house? Next: Belcarra
Results of water testing expected this week
garY MCKenna gmckenna@tricitynews.com
1,700 cans of beer. 536 ounces of whiskey. 333 people. Three helicopters. One angry mayor. The quiet village of Anmore got noisy Saturday night as a massive house party cluttered the streets with limousines, high-end sports cars — including several Lamborghinis — and featured several backyard helicopter landings and takeoffs. Now, Mayor John McEwen said village council will be looking into the issue at its meeting this week and is talking with police about the legalities of landing small aircraft on residential property. But Justin Plosz, who said he was renting the Birch Wynde home where Saturday’s bash was held, shrugged off the controversy when contacted by The Tri-City News Tuesday afternoon. He said he has since moved out of the 8,800-sq. ft. estate after living there for close to a year and is already organizing another party at a mansion on the waterfront in Belcarra. “We can park some yachts there,” he said. “We are planning on renting monster trucks for that one.” Saturday’s party was a “networking event,” he added, featuring beauty contestants, realtors, fitness people and tattoo artists — all extensively documented on Instagram. He acknowledged that po-

lice visited the Anmore home several times over the course of the evening and that one person had to be resuscitated after overdosing. “We hit him with a needle but he was a big dude, so we hit him with another one,” Plosz said adding: “He was so lit up, he didn’t want to leave.” Coquitlam RCMP confirmed that one person overdosed at the party and was resuscitated before refusing further medical treatment. Mayor McEwen said he was not happy with Saturday night’s activities and many residents have told him they are concerned more parties will be held in the community. “It is certainly not something we want to be proud of,” he said. “It certainly caused quite an uproar in the community.” Having multiple helicopters landing in a residential neighbourhood presents risks, he added, saying the village will
be looking into the legalities of using backyards as helipads. “The neighbours are just like ‘What is going on here?’” he said, adding the issue will come up at a council meeting this week. “I can assure you the village is going to be taking this very seriously.” Belcarra Mayor Neil Belenkie told The Tri-City News he was concerned upon hearing another party is being planned for his community. He said it appears Plosz has moved to a home on Marine Avenue overlooking Bedwell Bay. But Belenkie said there could be ways to responsibly hold an event without compromising safety and bothering residents. He is concerned the organizers will be looking to top their last event and said he would rather work with them to make sure it is done safely and with minimal disruption to residents. “The way it was done in
Anmore was unacceptable,” he said. “That can’t happen and it won’t happen in Belcarra.” He added that an event permit could be issued at a cost of upwards of $500,000. If the organizers wanted to land helicopters again, they would require a barge, which could mean even more money for the municipality, Belenkie said. “I would rather be talking to them about doing it right than fighting them,” he said, later adding: “Safety is non-negotiable, which is why I’d rather be working with these guys to do it safely.” Despite being called to the party house twice on Saturday, Coquitlam RCMP said officers saw no evidence of crimes being committed on the property. – with files from Diane Strandberg

Coquitlam has ruled out swimming pools in the vicinity of Hoy Creek as the source of a toxic spill that killed nearly 3,000 fish fry at Hoy Creek Hatchery as well as trout and crayfish in the stream. Verne Kucy, the city’s manager of environmental projects, said his staff inspected homes on the day of the spill but none appeared to have been responsible for discharging their pool water. Chlorine may have been the toxic substance that killed aquatic life in the creek May 29 but by the time testing was done, chlorine was not present, he said. Still, the city wants to know what killed the fish in the creek and in the hatchery run by the Hoy/ Scott Watershed Society, and Kucy is waiting for lab results from water testing. But tracking down the source of the spill is challenging because it’s difficult to figure out which culvert was responsible for the fish kill, Kucy said in an email to The Tri-City News. ALS Environmental in Burnaby is supposed to
provide lab results this week. Meanwhile, Hoy Creek members are still reeling from the disaster that killed more than half of the coho fish fry that had been raised by volunteers. “Gutted, devastated” is how Hoy/Scott Watershed Society president Robbin Whachell described her emotions when she saw hundreds of dead fish in hatchery tanks and many more along a 600-metre stretch of the creek. Rodney Lee, who walked the length of the creek surveying the damage, said judging by the number of dead fish and crayfish around a culvert upstream from the hatchery, the water could be coming from storm drains that carry water down from Westwood Plateau. He was shocked to see the damage the polluted water caused to the salmon fry. “You’re just kind of astonished when you see that,” Lee said, adding that he was dismayed to see both hatchery-raised and other fish dead or dying from the polluted water. “It’s an animal’s suffering you want to avoid, like a dog or a cat. In this case, it was fish,” said Lee, who hopes that sharing the devastating loss from the fish kill will make people more careful about what they put down storm drains.

It’s important to start thinking now about treating your lawn for the European Chafer beetle, an invasive pest that feeds on grass roots resulting in dead patches of lawn. The beetle larvae, known as grubs, are a food source for birds, skunks, raccoons and other predators that will dig up your lawn to feed on them. How to Identify & Treat Chafer beetle grubs are smaller than a dime, have brown heads and white C-shaped bodies. To verify an infestation, cut out a square patch of lawn 5 cm deep and you should be able to see grubs in the soil. The best way to control an infestation is by applying a nematode treatment on your lawn in late July. These live parasitic nematodes can be purchased from local garden centres. The product’s application instructions are important and so is proper lawn care, which includes aerating in the spring (and fall), keeping grass at a height of at least 6 cm and leaving lawn clippings to act as mulch. Because nematode treated soil must be moist before, during and after its application, the City offers water exemption permits free of charge with proof of purchase of a nematode product. Visit coquitlam.ca/chaferbeetle for details on other lawn care tips, charfer-resistant lawn alternatives and how to apply for a water exemption permit.
What will be important to Coquitlam in the next 10 to 15 years? What kind of services will residents and businesses need? The City is asking residents and other stakeholders to imagine Coquitlam in 2032 and share their vision as part of an update to the Strategic Plan, which will guide all City activities over the next 10-15 years. Make sure your priorities are heard by taking the 10-minute online survey – with a $100 Visa gift card up for grabs – or by visiting one of the pop-up displays around the city in June and July. Visit coquitlam.ca/stratplan to complete the survey and for dates and locations of the pop-up displays.

LOOKING OUT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Climate Adaptation Plan Underway Coquitlam has started work on a Climate Adaptation Strategic Plan to deal with the impact of changing weather patterns on infrastructure, services and the community. More extreme weather is predicted in the future, potentially leading to flooding, drought, heat waves, outdoor fires, lower snow packs and other challenges. A $150,000 grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities is covering most of the costs associated with the project, which will evaluate risks, develop plans to minimize the impact and recommend an action plan with timelines. The plan will be developed over the course of 2019. Updates will be posted at coquitlam.ca/climateaction.

COMO LAKE AVENUE PIPELINE PROJECT
Biz deals with Como Lake disruption Some owners say pipeline work has affected their business GARy MCKENNA gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Construction on FortisBC’s Como Lake Avenue natural gas pipe replacement project is still a few blocks away from Patrick Dryburgh’s business but he has already noticed a drop in sales. “What’s it going to be like when they are right in front of my store,” said the owner of the Dollar Store in Coquitlam’s Como Lake Village. FortisBC has been slowly working its way along the street since March, replacing an aging 20-inch gas line along a road that is normally used by 27,000 motorists a day. The utility provider has been encouraging drivers to take alternative routes, which Dryburgh said can create issues for businesses like his. While he said he understands the work needs to be done, he wants residents to know the road is still open and they do not need to avoid the area. “Como Lake is open for business,” he said, later adding:

Right: Mina Modares, the owner of Mina Hair Design, said business has been quiet this month and some of her customers have complained about the increased traffic along Como Lake Avenue. GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
“The reality is there is one lane open each way.” Gordon Harskamp, who has owned Mundy Park Bakery for 31 years, said he also understands infrastructure upgrades are necessary. He noted that FortisBC has consulted with the businesses in the mall and has offered to help with advertising and marketing. They are even teaming up with Corus Entertainment to hold live radio remote events with CKNW, CFOX, Rock 101 and AM730, with the next one taking place between 1 and 5 p.m. June 12. But Harskamp said he has
also noticed that sales are “softer” compared to this time in previous years, “but it’s not like I am re-mortgaging my house.” “Do I like it? Not at all,” he said. “Did I enjoy the uncertainty in the late winter and early spring? Not at all.” At Pizza One, owner Mohammed Shalchy has his own unique issues with the FortisBC construction. More than 60% of his business comes from deliveries and his drivers are having a tough time navigating all of the road work. With the recent closure of Gatensbury
Street, he said deliveries to his Port Moody customers have slowed. “So far, it has just been slower delivery times for my drivers,” he said. And customers who do make it to the mall have complained about the inconvenience caused by construction, said Mina Modares, owner of Mina Hair Design. “Some of the clients don’t like the traffic,” she said. “I think it has affected our business. It has been quiet.” But not everyone is feeling a sales pinch. Jeff Steinkey, the owner of
Como Lake Optical, said his customers are managing to make their way to the mall despite the road work. “The parking lot is still full,” he said pointing out the window of his shop. “The road is going to be open.” FortisBC said it expects to be in front of Como Lake Village by the middle of June and has been in close contact with the businesses. Alex Munro, a spokesperson for the utility provider, said it expects construction between Linton Street and Thermal Drive to last approximately two months. He added that multiple
entrances to Como Lake Village will remain open throughout the duration of the work. “We’ve been working with businesses along our gas line upgrade route to understand their needs and how we can best support them,” he said in an email. “This includes a range of measures in Coquitlam to promote local businesses and make sure their customers know their favourite stores are open and accessible throughout the construction.” The 5.5-km pipeline replacement along Como Lake Avenue is part of a larger 20-km project that began in Vancouver on East 1st Avenue and worked its way along Lougheed Highway in Burnaby. Last week, 15 businesses in the Commercial Drive area launched a lawsuit against FortisBC stating they lost revenue during the construction work in the neighbourhood. In the statement of claim, the businesses said FortisBC did not uphold its promise to provide free advertising while the road closures were in place. FortisBC has yet to respond to the lawsuit and none of the allegations have been tested in court.

PoCo tackles reg changes for secondary suites Basement suites in floodplains one issue being looked at Janis Cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
Port Coquitlam is set to tighten its zoning rules to stop illegal secondary suites in new houses and duplexes. And it’s expected to make bylaw changes for living spaces below the floodplain — a move that would affect about 2,200 properties. The proposed amendments for floor area ratio (FAR) exemptions; developments below the flood construction level; and cooking, laundry and bathroom facilities in dwelling units came before the city’s committee of council last week. The planned amendments will go before council next Tuesday, with a public hearing to follow at a later date should council grant first reading. Laura Lee Richard, PoCo’s director of planning and development services, told the committee many developers and builders are paying attention as the city looks to retool its legislation, which is aimed at public safety and to ease the pressure on infrastructure. Splitting large basements
An illustration of a six-storey apartment complex that is proposed for Kelly Avenue in downtown Port Coquitlam.
Kelly apartment complex planned An example of home building in Port Coquitlam: “Two of the three new homes shown on the above 2 are designed to include an authorized secondary suite conforming to current regulations,� city staff wrote in a report. “In addition, the homes have a separate recreation room within the basement that includes a bar sink and an additional outdoor access. These features could easily facilitate conversion to an unauthorized suite if an owner adds a fridge and stove once the inspection processes are complete.� CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM
into more than one secondary suite — following permits and inspections — is contrary to the city’s zoning regulations and the BC Building Code. “Our neighbourhoods are not designed for these kind of spaces,� Richard said, adding residents are facing street parking crunches as more people move into affordable accommodations. Coun. Laura Dupont said the zoning amendments pertaining to floodplain levels are “long overdue� as waters continue to rise with climate change, and living spaces
below the floodplain are prone to flooding. Under the proposed rules to limit FAR exemption for areas within a basement, the current exempt basement area would go from: • 1,007 sq. ft to 604 sq. ft for a small lot; • 1,952 sq. ft. to 1,171 sq. ft. for a large lot; • and 1,980 sq. ft. to 1,080 sq. ft. for a duplex. In short, the change would require that any floor area that exceeds the exemption of 0.15 times the lot area must be counted.
As for building below the floodplain elevation, the city plans to restrict the number and size of non-habitable rooms; crawl spaces also won’t be able to have windows or external door openings. And the city intends to limit cooking areas, bathrooms and laundry facilities to the principal residence and one secondary suite only. Coun. Darrell Penner said he would like bylaw officials to take more proactive enforcement to crack down on current illegal secondary suites.
23 one-bedroom units part of project in downtown Janis Cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
A fourplex in downtown Port Coquitlam will be razed to make way for a six-storey apartment block where most of the 30 units will have just one bedroom. May 28, PoCo’s committee of council approved a development permit for Vanstruction Properties to build the complex at 2331 Kelly Ave., located between Shaughnessy and Rowland streets. As the property is already zoned for a residential apart-
ment building, the bid won’t go to a public hearing, said Laura Lee Richard, the city’s director of planning and development. According to a staff report, the apartment block will include 23 one-bedroom suites and seven two-bedroom units — below the city’s recently adopted familyfriendly housing policy and bylaw amendments. “Although discussions were held with the applicant regarding options to introduce more larger units, the design was sufficiently advanced that the applicant did not wish to make amendments,� the report read. Vanstruction officials told the committee the fourplex tenants are aware of the project.

‘Monster homes’ get committee
Fewer calls for PM fire
Guidelines haven’t done enough, say some residents
“This is like déjà vu for the third time. We get all the good intentions but then it gets diverted.”
Mario Bartel mbartel@tricitynews.com
Residents in one Port Moody neighbourhood are hoping a task force of city councillors will finally give some teeth to “Good Neighbour guidelines” that were adopted in 2015 to protect the “peaceful enjoyment of the community.” Beverley Davino said her Pleasantside neighbourhood is being torn asunder by the construction of new homes that dwarf their neighbours, obstructing views, causing privacy concerns and creating a feeling of ill will. Davino said the homes — some larger than 6,000 square feet — counter the spirit of the guidelines, which ask builders to be considerate of how a project fits into the surrounding neighbourhood and the impacts it may have on other residents. One of those residents, Gary McKinnon, has seen his expansive southwest view of Burrard Inlet that he has enjoyed since moving into his 1,800-sq.-ft. home above Ioco Road in 1975 obliterated by the construction of two homes on a subdivided single lot that used to be occupied by the home and gardens of beloved
Gary McKinnon Resident of PoMo’s Pleasantside
Gary McKinnon lost his expansive view down Burrard Inlet to a pair of homes being built along Port Moody’s Ioco Road, in front of his property where he’s lived since 1975. His neighbour Beverley Davino is hoping a task force of city councillors who will investigate the issue of “neighbourhood-appropriate” home will put some teeth behind guidelines that are supposed to prevent such structures from being built. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
resident Bill McCracken. One of the houses will be 5,500 to 6,000 sq. ft. while the other could end up as large as 7,000 sq. ft., McKinnon said. That has him seeing plywood — massive expanses of it — instead of the wooded slopes of Burnaby Mountain from his living room window. “It’s very frustrating, to say the least,” McKinnon told The Tri-City News, adding he tried to fight the construction of the homes for three years after the property was sold.
At its May 28 meeting, Port Moody council struck a task force to look at the issue of neighbourhood-appropriate homes over the next six months. Coun. Hunter Madsen, who proposed the investigation, said he has been hearing lots of complaints from residents in neighbourhoods like Pleasantside, Glenayre and Moody Centre. “This seems like a good time to take a look at current bylaws, get the community to come together and talk about the
annoying issues, and see if we can identify any areas we need to improve,” Madsen said. Those issues could include the height of new homes, their impact on views, the compatibility of their design with neighbouring homes and even lighting, he said. “How do we strike the right balance between owners’ right to build the house of their choosing and the desires of the neighbourhood?” McKinnon said he has heard it all before.
“This is like déjà vu for the third time,” he said. “We get all the good intentions but then it gets diverted.” And Davino said, since Port Moody issued its Good Neighbour guidelines, “the houses are getting bigger and worse.” Acting Mayor Meghan Lahti said the issue of new homes that are out of scale with their neighbours has raised tensions in parts of the city. She said some that are under construction have been targets of vandalism and graffiti. “We need to be more neighbourly,” she said. But Lahti cautioned there’s only so much council can do as, under the Community Charter, it can’t dictate the architectural form and character of homes.
Mario Bartel mbartel@tricitynews.com
Port Moody firefighters responded to 100 fewer calls in 2018 than the year before. But the department’s chief, Ron Coulson, said that was largely due to changes in the way first responder medical calls are being distributed. In May 2018, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) implemented changes to the way it triages emergency calls to dispatch ambulance and paramedics to, it said, prioritize the most life-threatening calls. That change cut several local fire departments out of the loop for some medical calls that aren’t deemed by BCEHS to be life-threatening. Still, medical emergencies comprised the bulk of the 1,355 total calls to Port Moody Fire Rescue, according to its annual report, which was presented to city council May 28. Last year, PoMo firefighters responded to 686 medical emergencies — 19 deemed critical lifesaving interventions — down from 837 in 2017. The report, which used data compiled by E-Comm, said Port Moody firefighters also responded to 313 fire and alarm calls as well as 103 motor vehicle incidents.

Watch what you dump down drains – you could kill fish
Last Week t
All those yellow fish stickers are on drains for a good reason THE TRI-CITY NEWS newsroom@tricitynews.com
N
o one starts their day planning to kill thousands of fish fry and endanger aquatic life. But that’s exactly what happened last Wednesday at Hoy Creek Hatchery when someone in a nearby neighbourhood dumped toxic waste down a storm drain. This bonehead move destroyed half a year’s work of volunteers who raise salmon from eggs to smolts as nearly 3,000 coho fry died a horrible death while, outside in the stream, hundreds of naturally spawned salmon fry, trout and crayfish were also killed .
The chemical that was dumped was so toxic, volunteers thought they smelled and tasted it hours after it slithered down the storm drain and into the creek. Who did this and why? No one knows for sure what the poison was, although there appeared to be a smell of chlorine in the area, volunteers say. But by the time investigators arrived on the scene, the toxic substance had already done its dirty work and now it appears the polluter is going to get away without punishment or even some needed education. We hope they at least have a guilty conscience. One plausible source may have been swimming pool water that had been drained into a storm drain but with spring cleaning in full swing, any number of poisons could have been dumped down the
SUBMITTED PHOTO
drain by area residents. This is the time of year when people like to clean up with soaps, deck cleaners, paint and paint thinners, and other materials that, when in high concentrations, could be harmful to aquatic life. In fact, the list of materials hazardous to fish is so long, according to information on
the city of Port Coquitlam’s website, it would make the average homeowner worry because it’s easy to become careless when you’re in a hurry. Here’s just a partial list of toxic substances that are commonly used and sometimes might end up in the storm drain and into your local creek: paints and solvents, cleaning products, automotive products and pesticides. It could be argued that many of us have become complacent and are ignoring the yellow fish stamp next to our storm drains. Others may just be ignorant of the fact that these storm drains are supposed to drain rain water into the creeks, not be a toilet for your junk, including cigarette butts and litter. But ignorance and complacency are no excuse. C’mon Tri-Cities, clean up your act.

Play it safe on the trails
Enforce bylaws on moto noise
The Editor, My family has regularly tromped the trails on Burke Mountain for more than 25 years. With three kids romping through the woods like a herd of elephants, we never saw a bear, deer or cougar on the trail. Why? Healthy, wild animals want nothing to do with us. To them, we signal DANGER. Given the choice to move off and away, they will. Only when wild animals feel trapped, their young are threatened or they are sick and desperate for food will they be aggressive toward humans. (Cougars have always been present because there are a lot of deer, their main prey.) I want people to enjoy the

outdoors unafraid to foster their respect and care for nature, so I offer this advice: If you walk the trails of Buntzen Lake, Eagle or Burke mountains, understand that you are entering rugged Canadian wilderness. At minimum, take a whistle so you can signal your location should
you become lost. Take water and food, wear footwear with a good tread and carry a jacket. Take a garbage bag, preferably orange, for unexpected rain or to be seen against the greenery. Tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back. Pay attention and talk as you walk. Wild animals have excel-
lent hearing. Whoop occasionally to make noise if walking quietly. On Burke Mountain, a bear can be just around the corner of a building or up a fenced cement walkway — surprise, for both of you. Never approach any wild animals and leave animal babies in place as their moms will be back. Please share this information with newcomers with whom you share a language. When trying to convey the presence of a bear to my new neighbours, I have been reduced to charades involving baring my teeth, showing my “claws” and growling. They’ve smiled and headed off in the direction I’ve tried to warn them away from. Janet Klopp, Coquitlam
The Editor, I understand we have to accept daily city noises, be they from trains, ambulances or fire trucks, all of which are necessary. We appear to have noise bylaws to cover all the other loud and excessive noises, whether intermittent or continuous but are there insufficient bylaw officers or is there no commitment to enforce the noise bylaws? Excessive noise from motorcycles with modified exhausts (to give that throttled power effect) seems to be getting more frequent and louder. The Port Moody
bylaw office advised it is not equipped to monitor or act on the noise from motorcycles and directed me to Port Moody Police Department. From discussions with neighbours, it appears I am not alone in my frustration with those who choose to make their motorcycle exhaust noise louder. Similarly, my neighbours are frustrated with the city’s inability to have its noise bylaws enforced. Are there others out there who believe action is needed? Nigel Arrandale, Port Moody

Suds & soothers Moms’ group mixes beer and babies to relieve isolation MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Alex Turner was a new mom when she ran headlong into postpartum depression. She didn’t have it, but the former television reporter felt deeply connected to the news coverage of a young Burnaby mother who’d been missing for three weeks when her body was found near Bowen Island. In a heart-wrenching post on Facebook, the woman’s husband said she had been struggling with breastfeeding her newborn son but without a community of moms around her to provide support and reassurance, she gave into her feelings of guilt and anxiety. “I could feel her struggle,” said Turner, whose own son was about the same age as the woman’s child. “You have a new person you have to care for, yet you can feel you’re so alone.” So when Turner became pregnant with her second child, she was determined not to let herself become isolated by creating her own community of new moms who could lean on and learn from one another, and who would appreciate the opportunity to get out of the house. A year later, Turner’s Tri-Cities Moms Monthly “Meeting” group has more than 500 members, who gather on the last Thursday of every month at Yellow Dog Brewery in Port Moody. • You can connect with the Tri-Cities Moms Monthly “Meeting” via Instagram @TurnerTalks.

‘They can’t take it away ... but can restrict access’
Help parents find son, Ryan McAuley Coquitlam man last seen Feb. 15, has schizophrenia

“Wherever they are, we will be,” Schuetze said. Michelle Sikora, who is from the Sunshine Coast and said she founded the WARRIORS chapter in B.C., said the groups against anyone looking to limit women’s access to abortion services in Canada. “They can’t take it away from us but they can restrict access and that is already happening in other provinces,” she said. “It can make it really difficult.” Todd Gnissios, the executive director of the Coquitlam Public Library, said he had been informed that some prochoice activists would likely turn up at the event. “We have been receiving an email and phone campaign asking the library to cancel the booking,” he told The Tri-City News Tuesday. But he said cancelling the booking wold contravene the Canadian Federation of Library Associations’ statement on intellectual freedom, which says libraries are re-

sponsible for safeguarding “constitutionally protected expressions of knowledge, imagination, ideas and opinion.” Right Now is a private group that paid the standard business rate for its room rental and the booking is not sponsored or supported by the library in any way, he added.
“We accept that the topic of this room booking will cause distress to many,” Gnissios wrote in an email to residents who have expressed concern about the booking. “Nonetheless, the supporters of this group have a right to express their thoughts and ideas within legislated restrictions.”
Parents of a Coquitlam man who is being sought under the BC Mental Health Act made an appeal to the public Wednesday, June 5 at a Coquitlam RCMP press conference. With photos of their missing son in front of them, Ron and Darlene McAuley pleaded for information about Ryan McAuley, 34, who was last seen at 10 a.m. Feb. 15, 2019 when his image was captured on a video camera at a store on the 11000-block of 200 Street in Maple Ridge. “Ryan, if you are listening to this, please come home. Your family misses you, loves you and wants you back home,” Ron McAuley said. Ryan McAuley, who had
RYAN MCAULEY
late onset schizophrenia at the age of 29, was living at Cypress Lodge on the Riverview Hospital grounds when he went missing. His mother, Darlene, said her son is intelligent, quiet and speaks well but struggles with an illness that sometimes overwhelms him. This isn’t the first time he has gone missing, although in the past, hints about his whereabouts have allowed his family to find him. “When he’s gone missing in the past, he has hitchhiked
his way as far as Alberta, Manitoba and even Ontario,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin of the Coquitlam RCMP, adding that the missing man is not believed to be a danger to the public. Since McAuley went missing in February, Coquitlam RCMP said it has activated its Missing Persons Unit. So far, he hasn’t left a trace. The family hopes he can be found before his birthday, which is June 22. “We hope that will spur him [to contact us],” Darlene McAuley said. Ryan McAuley is a 34-yearold Caucasian man with light brown hair; he is six feet tall, weighs about 240 lb. and wears glasses. “He does need his medications, he does need help. We need to know Ryan is safe,” McLaughlin said. If you have seen Ryan McAuley or have information that would help police find him, call Coquitlam RCMP tip line at 1-877-687-3377, quote file number 2019-4952.

Order of B.C. for Coquitlam surgeon At home: botox. Abroad: work on kids’ deformities STEfan Labbé slabbe@tricitynews.com
Coquitlam plastic surgeon Dr. Kimit Rai has been tapped to join the Order of British Columbia for his decades of work treating some of the world’s poorest children and young adults suffering with facial deformities and serious burn injuries. Celebrating its 30th year of existence, the Order of B.C. is considered the highest honour the province can extend to a long-term resident and is awarded to individuals who excel in any field of endeavour. Rai had long worked as a surgeon but in the 1990s, his life shifted when he joined a team from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons on a volunteer trip to the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca to help children struggling with cleft lips and palates. After they had finished

their work, the governor of the neighbouring state of Tabasco congratulated them at a news conference. When Rai didn’t hear those congratulations extending to him and the three other Canadian nurses on the trip, he stood up in front of the news cameras and announced their presence. “I walked up to the podium and gave [the governor] a handful of Canada pins,” he
told The Tri-City News. The next day, Rai’s photo was splashed over the local newspapers. When he returned to Canada, the episode made him reflect on the fact that there was no such organization in Canada, so with the help of a few friends, he began raising money and heading off to places like the Philippines, India and Cambodia.
That was more than 20 years ago. Today, Operation Rainbow Canada has grown into a large organization, its volunteers having operated on almost 3,000 children with facial deformities and burn contractures, a condition that restricts the movement of a patient as burn scar tissue is stretched taught. “When you have a burn and it’s not properly treated, the hand becomes deformed, or your arms deform or your neck deforms,” explained Rai. “We release the burned part [and] use skin grafting and patching up areas so that they can use the extremities and improve their facial appearances.” And it’s not just Canadian doctors involved. In Cambodia, Rai and Operation Rainbow Canada train local doctors in plastic surgery. “Emotionally, it’s charging,” he said. “It’s a very, very good feeling.” Rai’s work overseas has also gone beyond his operating on children with facial deformities. In 2014, he was part of a team of 30 doctors and nurses that travelled to Ukraine to treat
soldiers in a military hospital overwhelmed with casualties. It wasn’t the first time he’d worked with the military. Born and raised in Malaysia to Afghan refugee parents, Rai spent a couple of years in the army before travelling to Vancouver to study plastic surgery at UBC and complete his residency as a surgeon in the burn and isolation ward at Vancouver General Hospital. Nearly 45 years later, Rai has come to embrace a double life: As a plastic surgeon, he still does botox injections on perfectly healthy people looking to rejuvenate their aging bodies; but he has also now racked up over 30 missions overseas, treating some of the poorest and most desperate cases in the world. “The day you fly back you, find the children’s faces flashing across your mind when you’re sleeping. “It still happens,” he said. “It’s a good feeling. It feels that you did something for someone. And hopefully, they’ll do something for someone else.” At 78, Rai has pulled back on surgeries at his practice
but said he has no intention of slowing down — he skis 20 to 25 times a year, will go on a mission to India in October and another to Cambodia next February. When asked what the appointment to the Order of B.C. means to him, Rai points to his story — the people he has helped and the things he has learned along the way — as a chance for the next generation to step up. “We’ll have a much better world if we support each other, no matter their ethnic background,” he said. “I’m hoping the children see this and say, “Maybe I can be a good person to help somebody else.” Over the last 30 years, 447 British Columbians have been appointed to the Order of British Columbia. This year, Dr. Rai was among 209 people nominated and one of just 15 who were ultimately appointed. They will be invested with the distinction June 28 in a ceremony presided over by Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin at Government House in Victoria.

their mobile devices. Officers were at the corner of Ioco Road and Murray Street from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. to input information on bikes into the program’s database as well as affix the little stickers that Sgt. Travis Carroll, the program’s coordinator for Port Moody police, hopes will be a deterrent to potential thieves. Carroll said bicycle theft is usually a crime of opportunity in which thieves take advantage of a bike that has been left unsecured outside or in a storage locker or underground parkade. Sometimes, those bikes become getaway vehicles for further property crimes because, he said, they’re quiet, easy to manoeuvre in and out

P
ort Moody police are hoping a little black and yellow sticker will help cut down on bike theft in the city — and may even have a domino effect on other petty property crime. Last Wednesday, the department introduced its participation in 529 Garage, a bike registration service that makes it easy for users — and police — to trace stolen bikes using
SiGN UP NoW
For more information about 529 Garage, go to www.project529.com. of tight spaces, and then readily discarded. Carroll said while only about 20 bike thefts are reported in Port Moody each year, that number could be reduced by registration, as well as education about how to secure a bike properly and what types of locks work best. The 529 Garage app, for which the department has to pay a licensing fee, allows registered users to alert more than 400 police agencies, bike shops
and clubs, as well as other cyclists, if their bike has been stolen. It can also be used to check if a bike you’re thinking of buying has been reported stolen. Const. Jason Maschke, the community relations officer for Port Moody police, said the app casts “a much wider net, providing a greater opportunity for a successful recovery.” But, he added, stolen bikes should still be reported to police. There will be several other upcoming opportunities for Port Moody cyclists to register their rides, including two more dedicated events as well as at the city’s community fair, Golden Spike Days, RibFest and Car-Free day.
Jared Collier, a volunteer with the Port Moody police department, records the serial number and other information about a bike being registered into the 529 Garage program the department launched last Wednesday as part of Bike to Work Week. mario bartel/the tri-CitY NeWS Join the conversation at facebook.com/tricitynews

Many people know that poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, tooth decay and even lost teeth. But are you aware that failing to brush or visit the dentist regularly also can lead to more serious health issues? According to Colgate, recent research suggests that there may be an association between oral infections, particularly gum disease, and cardiovascular disease and preterm birth. Gum disease also may make diabetes more difficult to control, since infections may cause insulin resistance and disrupt blood sugar. Bacteria from your mouth can enter the bloodstream through infection sites in the gums. If your immune system is healthy, there should not be any adverse effects. However, if your immune system is compromised, these bacteria can flow to other areas of the body where they can cause infection.

An important step in maintaining good overall health is to include dental care in your list of preventative measures. Visit the dentist for biannual cleanings or as determined by the doctor. Do not ignore any abnormalities in the mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene at home by brushing twice a day and flossing at least once per day. Mouthwashes and rinses also may help keep teeth and gums healthy.

Rhubarb and asparagus and more
T
he growing season is well underway and the markets are off to a bustling start. Each week the bounty at the farm stalls grow. My favourites right now are rhubarb and asparagus. Both these plants are a sure sign that winter is over. Apparently, rhubarb was not considered a food plant until the mid-18th century, when sugar became more affordable, although it has been used in Chinese medicine as a laxative for thousands of years. We always had rhubarb in our garden and my mom loved to eat it raw, dipped in sugar — that seems to be a British thing. I prefer it in a chutney. Try cooking it with sautéed onions, a bit of orange peel, ginger and some apple cider vinegar and sugar. You can season it with a bit of clove or nutmeg if you like. The chutney is delicious with roasted meats and cheeses. Of course, strawberries are a classic rhubarb pairing and rumour has it the first local berries will soon be available. If you are lucky enough to get
MAKE THE MOST OUT OF RHUBARB
I’ll leave you with a great rhubarb bar recipe that I have made a few times. You can use other fruit in place of the rhubarb, so keep this recipe handy and follow the fruit.

some, a crumble is an easy way to capture the first tastes of spring. Simply chop a couple of cups of rhubarb, slice a couple of cups of strawberries, toss them in a bowl with half a cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. Spread the fruit into a greased baking dish and top with a mixture of two cups oats, half a cup of brown sugar, a quarter cup butter and two tablespoons flour. Pop it in the oven at 350 F for 45 minutes and serve hot — preferably with something cold and creamy from Rocky Point Ice Cream. And just so you feel good about the crisp, rhubarb is
a decent source of fibre and vitamin C. Asparagus is also a good source of vitamin C as well as fibre, potassium and iron, so fill up while it is fresh and local. Some of the farmers grow white asparagus; it’s the same plant as green asparagus but, as it grows, it is “earthed up,” meaning the soil is piled up around the plant, preventing the sun from triggering photosynthesis. Stem thickness in indicative of the age of the plant. The thicker the stem, the older the plant. I prefer the thicker stems as they don’t seem quite as stingy to me. Asparagus can be quite woody
2 large eggs 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup flour 1/4 tsp salt 2 cups diced rhubarb Preheat oven to 350 F. Line the bottom of an 8x8” pan with parchment, bringing it up the sides so that it will be easy to remove the squares after. Whirl the crust ingredients in a food processor and then press into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 min., crust will still remain very pale. While the crust is baking, mix together the eggs, sugar, flour and salt, whisking well. Stir in rhubarb. Pour onto the hot crust and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

agus, I prefer a simple sauté with a good olive oil; a half teaspoon each of Koji salt and The Cawston Farmer’s Herb d’ Provence blend are all that is necessary to bring out the bright spring flavour. If you want to go all fancy, try a flatbread. Spread a store-bought flatbread with Neufchatel cheese from Golden Ears Cheesecrafters, sprinkle some thyme over top, asparagus pieces, thin slices of red onion and a good drizzle of olive oil. Bake in a hot oven for five to eight minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle with a squeeze of Nonna Pia’s Balsamic Reduction, and serve. We at Coquitlam Farmers Market are definitely gearing up for another splendid season of fresh local food. We have lots of workshops and events planned, too, so keep your eyes open for what is coming.

Author Madeline Miller’s passion for the stories and heroes of Greek mythology shine through in her two adult novels. No prior knowledge of ancient Greece is required for readers to enjoy Miller’s fantastic tales. Miller’s Song of Achilles is a love story filled with action and adventure. She re-tells Homer’s ancient Greek poem the Iliad from the perspective of Patroclus, an exiled prince and lover of the legendary warrior Achilles. Miller gives the reader insight into what the epic characters may have felt and experienced during the time of the fabled Trojan War. Miller’s second novel, Circe, features a goddess who feels that she does not belong in either the realm of gods or mortals. When Circe discovers and uses her magical power, even mighty Zeus feels threatened. Circe’s father banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her skills. But she’s not alone for long as both gods and mortals come to visit. Well-known figures such as Athena, Hermes, Odysseus and the Minotaur appear in Miller’s engaging tale. Find these books at your local library.

WILD PLANTS
Beware of invasive plants, says Coquitlam Giant hogweed and other plants can be a giant problem The city of Coquitlam is looking to residents to assist in its battle against invasive plants. Giant hogweed is of particular concern due to the poisonous toxins it emits that can burn skin but other plants — including English ivy, Japanese knotweed, periwinkle, morning glory and yellow lamium — are being targeted by municipal staff. Invasive species “can take over the natural environment, pushing out native plants and reducing and degrading habitat for fish, birds and other wildlife,” the city said in a press release. “Because these plants grow aggressively, adapt to different situations and are persistent in their spread, they can be expensive to control and eradicate.” May is Invasive Species Awareness Month and residents can do their part by learning to identify common

• Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

Parents of graduating students at the BC Christian Academy in Port Coquitlam gave a shout-out this week to residents in the Lincoln Park neighbourhood for helping with their bottle drive fundraiser last Saturday. Parent Paul Lukianiuk told The Tri-City News the community “came out big time to support us.” “From a single bag of bottles or a case of empty beer cans to a full pick-up truck load of refundable bottles and cans, we are humbled by your kindness and giving spirit,” he wrote in an email. “This will go a long ways in helping the grads cover their expenses for various graduation activities.”

Road deaths involving drunk drivers are still alarmingly high but Port Moody secondary students hope a mock accident will put a dent in the numbers. The faux grizzly scene — featuring seven students playing the parts of victims, driver and passengers — was organized by ICBC and Port Moody first responders last week outside of the Albert Street high school to remind students to stay safe this grad season. According to road safety data from the provincial government, as many as 62 people died in car accidents involving impaired driving in 2017. — Diane Strandberg, The Tri-City News For more photos follow us on Instagram #tricitynews

JUNE 11: PHOTOGRAPHY & NEEDLEARTS
Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help. You’ll be playing an important part in a study that will further identify the key factors impacting hearing difficulties and better understand their influence on the treatment process.
• Tri-City Singles Social Club, which offers opportunities for 50+ singles to get together and enjoy a variety of fun activities such as dining, dancing, theatre, travel, movies and more, meets, 7 p.m., in the Community Room at Safeway, 580 Clarke Rd. (take elevator from underground parking to 3rd floor). New members welcome. Directions, info: Darline, 604-466-0017.
Study Parameters Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. Of particular interest to the researchers is identifying how we listen. There is a current theory that divides people into two “listening groups�. People in the first group need to put more effort into their listening, while members in the second group aren’t easily distracted. It’s the people in the first group
who will look for a solution to their hearing loss sooner than the second group, even though the level of hearing loss could be very similar. The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from oneon-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.
FRIDAY, JUNE 21
Connect Hearing, in conjunction with Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph, are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Lens on PoCo’s love for nature New museum exhibit focuses on the city’s natural beauty janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
Cobwebs at Colony Farm. Families picnicking along the Coquitlam River. Spring blooms at city hall. These are common images throughout Port Coquitlam’s past, scenes duplicated over the years that give a sense of
place but not necessarily time. Each year, the city calls for photo submissions from the public to fill its calendar but only a dozen are reprinted for the annual publication. The 400-plus pictures left out are kept as stock and, this year, PoCo Heritage asked for permission to pluck about 50 photos for its new exhibit that focuses on the city’s flora and fauna, and its green spaces. Titled Naturally PoCo, the show follows on the society’s last display, The Secret Life of Trees, and includes some of
its props and pieces. Curator Kelly Brown used archival material from the planting of PoCo’s first official tree — to celebrate the city incorporation in 1913, at Aggie Park — as a starting point for the show. After all, she said, PoCo was born with a nod to Mother Earth. There are also large seasonal images of the city on posters, with quotes from each photographer and a “heritage moment” below to give context. Brown, the manager of the
PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives, also added ways the municipality has embraced nature with its corporate branding: Its logo has a leaf in the “O” of Port while the official city flower (a pink azalea) is named the Pride of PoCo. At the back of the museum are three dozen more scenes with titles like “Dancing Dogwood,” “Bear Play” and “Blakeburn Lagoon Sunset.” “I love the stories people are telling about these places,” Brown said. “They remember them from when they were
children. It’s really wonderful to hear what they have to say.” She added, “Port Coquitlam is a place that loves its nature and outdoor places. This is an exhibit to honour that celebration.” As the exhibit is largely photos “looking at the natural world of Port Coquitlam,” Brown also showcased cameras dating back to 1910 — before the city was formed. But though no one is snapping images with a Kodak Premoette Junior anymore, there are some pictures cap-
tured with a smart phone (Brown’s own City Hall Winter Wonderland was taken with her iPhone after leaving a meeting at the civic centre). Brown hopes a few featured photographers will speak about their craft and scenes in an upcoming lecture series. The opening reception for Naturally PoCo is on Saturday, June 8 from 1 to 3 p.m. at PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives (150-2248 McAllister Ave., Port Coquitlam). The exhibit is up until December. Call 604-9278403 or visit pocoheritage.org.

At-risk student art uncovers dark issues Tiana Sharifi is overwhelmed by the artwork arriving at the Children of the Street Society office. For the past week or so, the Coquitlam non-profit group has received 50 original pieces from students at Suwa’lkh School, CABE and the Customized Learning Centre (CLC) — dedicated First Nations and alternate schools in School District 43 — for the 8th annual Youth Art Gallery. The event, held next Wednesday at the Winslow Centre in Coquitlam, is the conclusion of a nine-week art therapy program for the Grade 10, 11 and 12 students who are defined as “at-risk.” And this spring’s output, which explore themes of sexual exploitation, gender socialization, online bullying, peer-to-peer culture and alcohol abuse, is the most creative Sharifi has seen. Issues around toxic masculinity — a concept used in psychology and gender stud-
ies to refer to norms associated with harm to society and to men themselves — were also explored, she said. Few used canvasses this year to convey their feelings, the program director said; rather, they employed mannequins, skateboards, musical instruments and cardboard boxes as their bases. As well, this year’s space-themed exhibit will also include slam poetry and rap performances. Sharifi said the exhibit is a big deal for the students, who will be showing their artwork for the first time to their loved ones. As well, some will use their pieces in portfolios they’re building. “The program is successful because it has helped them voice their concerns with facilitators. They are having discussions that are having an impact on their current and future lives.” To RSVP for the gallery event on June 12, call Tiana Sharifi at 604-939-6055 or email tsharifi@childrenofthestreet.com.

Jazz for Julia A Heritage Woods secondary student known for her musical theatre chops will make her jazz debut Friday night. Julia MacLean, 17, will perform at a sold-out show at the Gallery Bistro in Port Moody with her piano and composition teacher Bill Sample, and Miles Hill on the bass. The Grade 11 student turned to the music genre last year while studying with Sample and with the encouragement of her father, Dave MacLean. “My dad really loves it and he told me to try it out,” she said on Monday. For their June 7 show, the trio will play some jazz standards “that mean a lot to me or my family” as well as the re-arranged classics Here Comes the Sun and What a Wonderful World; MacLean will also sing an original tune. MacLean got to know Sample when he was in the band for the 2017 production of 13: The Musical in Vancouver; Bring On Tomorrow Co. cast MacLean as Patrice. Now, she meets with Sample twice a month for piano lessons “because I really wanted to learn how to accompany myself and feel more comfortable playing for smaller audiences,” she said. This summer, MacLean — who starred as Annie for Royal City Musical Theatre’s 25th annual spectacle, in 2014 — returns to the Theatre Under the Stars where she plays a newsboy in Disney’s Newsies; it runs unti Aug. 17 at the Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park, in Vancouver. And after graduation next year, MacLean said she plans to pursue musical theatre in Toronto “and do more jazz,” she said.

Heritage Woods student gets “real-life learning: teacher janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
Author and musician Shannon Matter often cycles past Heritage Woods secondary, admiring the Port Moody high school’s structural design and First Nation artwork. Last year, still needing illustrations for her latest book, Arctic Rescue, the Coquitlam resident asked the art teacher if — by chance — she had any students to help her. Eager to expose her students to “real-life learning,” Sheri Tompkins invited Matter to speak to her Art Careers cohort to see if a student would take on the challenge. Less than three months later, Olivia Oh presented Matter with a series of images to complement her poetic text about the state of polar bears and their declining habitat. Matter was blown away by the quality of the work: Watercolour and acrylic wash scenes, depicting a mother polar bear and her cub on ice floes and the whales that save them. “She’s the star of the book,” said Matter of Oh, during an interview at Heritage Woods
secondary last week. Oh, 17, who plans to attend Emily Carr University of Art + Design in the fall and last month clinched the Don Portelance Scholarship for her artwork at Coquitlam Centre, said the book project was close to her heart as she’s an environmental activist. “I already cared about the topic and, reading the words and being visual, it didn’t take long to do.” Matter was inspired to write the book based on a card she received in 2001 from friend Tinesja Vanel. The image of a mother polar bear on its back, playing with her cub, spoke to her until 2014, when she began to research about the plight of the species from climate change. Polar Bears International, the World Wildlife Fund and Enchanted Learning proved to be valuable resources as Matter delved into the study. Arctic Rescue is Matters’ fifth publication and she hopes Heritage Woods will continue its art partnership for her next work: Streaky the Comet: Book Two, due out in 2020. Meanwhile, Arctic Rescue will be added to the Port Moody Public Library’s White Pines Collection of local authors, in August. To order a copy, visit shannonmatter.com.

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Keith & celia rice-Jones
Couple share their passion for clay at each meal sitting Not a day goes by that Keith and Celia Rice-Jones don’t talk about clay. Keith, a former art teacher at Port Moody secondary, and his wife typically discuss their collection of mugs, bowls and pots — as well as their ways of approaching the craft, at their home-based Wildrice Studio — over coffee breaks and meals. Tonight (Thursday), the pair return to the Port Moody Arts Centre to open their new show, Clay Compulsion. And, next Thursday (June 13), the couple will talk about their love of clay at the St. Johns Street facility; their lecture at 7 p.m. is titled The Art of Home and is based on this quote from William Morris: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” port moody arts centre

Competition defies gravity Team event is more like beer league than high-stakes climbing STEFAN LABBÉ slabbe@tricitynews.com

STEFAN LABBÉ/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Rock climbers of every ilk crimped, lay-backed and dynoed through 12 hours of competition last Saturday at Coquitlam’s Climb Base 5, in an event that brought out both first-timers and the hardcore. Unlike like your standard competition, where the culmination of months of endurance, strength and flexibility training combine in highstakes heats where winner takes all, the Defying Gravity competition was more like a beer league game — minus the beer. Instead of dividing people by age and gender, organizers mixed up the teams and set up the competition so expert and beginner climbers would make it to the finals. “We wanted to prove that youth can keep up with adults and that girls and boys can both pull hard,” said Drew Latta, the brains behind the
third annual event. Some of the registered climbers were used to the competition circuit. Just two weeks ago, Brielle Zacharias, 16, and Lexi Minder, 15, were ramping up months of training at the Lead and Speed Nationals in Montreal. Both girls had been rock climbing since they were 10 years old and both had devoted huge chunks of their young lives to the pursuit, putting in several hours a week in the bouldering cave and on the lead walls — not to mention long commutes from across the Lower Mainland. That kind of dedication and resulting success is a big part of what the coaches try to encourage at the Coquitlam gym. But it’s only a small sliver of the facility’s regular climbers. Jean-Francois Dumont has been climbing at the gym since it first opened 20-odd years ago. He said the team competition offered a break from intense training. “I’ve been smiling all day,” he said. “The muscles that hurt most in my body are in my face.”

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER
Centaurs slay Dragons again for soccer title Overtime win a reprise of last year’s championship finale MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
The Centennial Centaurs senior girls soccer team turned a life lesson from the classroom into their second consecutive AAA provincial championship. Centennial beat the Fleetwood Park Dragons 2-1 in overtime last Friday at the Cloverdale Athletic Park. The opponent and heart-stopping result were a reprise of last year’s final when the Centaurs won their first provincial championship in 18 years, also in overtime, by a 1-0 score. Getting their second in as many years was the goal right from the season’s get-go, said Centennial coach Larry Moro. To drive that point home he lugged the freshly engraved provincial trophy into the team’s first meeting where he

talked about resilience and perseverance, then showed his players no team had managed to get their name on the chalice’s 15-year history twice in a row. Then Moro showed them
the full two-minute version of Nike’s commercial to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its Just Do It motto with blackballed NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The ad’s tagline of “It’s only crazy until you do
it” was immediately adopted by the Centaurs as their motto for the season. “You hope as a teacher they are learning life lessons,” Moro said. “They’re using skills here of perseverance and resiliency
and teamwork that will take them through their lives.” The Centaurs players needed to draw upon all of those against a scrappy Fleetwood team that was making its sixth consecutive appearance in the AAA final. While Centennial’s gifted forwards carried the play from the opening whistle, the Dragons’ dogged defence stifled any creativity and withered every scoring opportunity into largely harmless shots at Fleetwood keeper Soninka Nandha. Then, in one of the Dragons’ only forays into the Centaurs’ end, they were able to exploit a breakdown in communication by Centennial’s defenders as Klera Ramilo put Fleetwood up, 1-0. “We were too lax on marking,” Moro said. “Nobody talked and we all got confused.” Centennial quickly renewed its assault on Fleetwood’s half of the ptich, and, shortly after the teams took a mandated water break
because of the day’s heat and sunshine, Avery Tulloch ripped a rope into the far left side of the net to get them back on even terms. It was critical moment, Moro said. “It was huge to tie it up quickly,” he said. “It gave us confidence again.” When nothing was decided in regulation, the teams headed into extra time for the second straight year. Moro said that played into Centennial’s favour. “You could tell they were tiring out and we were getting more space,” he said. It was Kiara Buono who scored the winner shortly before the teams switched ends for the overtime’s second half. Then it was Centennial’s turn to lock down its defence. Moro, whose entire coaching staff wore bright red T-shirts with the Nike ad tagline in white block letters on the back, said his charges had, indeed, persevered. “We kept our positivity,” he said. “We knew it was going to come.”

Looking for a new home? Start here.
Metro Vancouver home sales jump 44.2 per cent in a month, but prices slip After a dismal spring so far, Metro Vancouver residential real estate activity leaped by 44.2 per cent month over month to 2,638 homes sold in May, according to figures released June 4 by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). However, May is historically the busiest month of the year for home sales, and last month’s jump was from a very low base. May’s transaction total is still 6.9 per cent lower than in May 2018, 22.9 per cent below the 10-year average for the month and the lowest May total since 2000. Still, the new figures do mark a notable improvement over the 29.1 per cent annual sales drop seen in April 2019, which was 43.1 per cent below April’s 10-year average. The board maintained its stance of attributing low demand to the mortgage stress test. “High home prices and mortgage qualification issues caused by the federal government’s B20 stress test remain significant factors behind the reduced demand that the market is experiencing today,” said Ashley Smith, REBGV president. Despite the increased sales activity in May, it was not enough to offset all the new listings coming on to the market, and inventory continues to pile up. There were
5,861 homes newly listed last month, which is 8.1 per cent less than May 2018 but a 2.1 per cent increase compared with April. It’s also more than double the number of homes sold last month. The total number of homes listed for sale on Metro Vancouver’s MLS is 14,685, a 30 per cent increase compared with May 2018 and up 2.3 per cent since April 2019. This is the highest number of homes listed for sale since September 2014, said the board. However, the improved absorption rate meant that Metro Vancouver stayed firmly in a balanced market in May. For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for May 2019 is 18 per cent. When broken down by property type, the ratio is 14.2 per cent for detached homes (returning to a balanced market, if maintained for several months), 20 per cent for townhomes and 21.2 per cent for apartments (both edging back toward seller’s markets, but again, only if this ratio is sustained).
PRICE DECLINES Despite this, the generous supply of homes for buyers to choose from is pulling prices down, with the composite benchmark price of a home (all property types combined)
Jim Korchinski
Burnaby / Tri-Cities HOME SALES*
across Metro Vancouver now at $1,006,400. This is an 8.9 per cent drop since May 2018, and a slim 0.4 per cent decline compared with April 2019.

He was a musician and he loved to play at care homes to bring joy to the people, seeing their toes tap, responding to the lively music gave him great joy. He is predeceased by his loving wife, Frances Brodie. He is survived by his son Lyle, daughter-inlaw Pamela, daughters Eileen and Marilyn, son-inlaw Dave, grandson Christopher, granddaughters Melinda and Katelyn and great-granddaughters Elodie and Isla, and son-in-law John.
