IGNITE-ING A POSSIBLE FIREFIGHTING PASSION

Pick your fruit Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Rebecca Lyon and Chloe Goodison try on firefighters’ bunker gear at Port Moody’s Inlet Centre fire hall as they prepare to attend Camp Ignite, a four-day camp for young women to learn about the challenges and rewards of a possible career in firefighting. For more information, see article on page 7.

It’s harvest season and that means an abundance of fruit for humans — and bears. But to make sure a hungry bruin doesn’t get to your backyard bounty before you do, make sure you pick your ripe fruit and keep it indoors. Those black bears you see in your neighbourhood and local greenbelt are fattening up for winter and they have only a few months left before hibernation, so it’s important to remove all attractants. That means getting rid of blackberries, apples, pears and any other delicious fruit that are hanging off your trees and bushes or that have fallen on the ground. Already in Coquitlam, there have been three conflict complaints about bears getting into fruit. “I believe residential fruit attractants are under-reported as some residents view this as ‘close enough’ to a bear’s natural food,” said Julie Kanya, Coquitlam’s Urban Wildlife Coordinator, in an email to The Tri-City News. see GARBAGE, page 6

SUMMERTIME SAFETY
tri-City beaches sufficiently clean for a cool dip, for now E. coli levels not excessive at White Pine, Belcarra, etc. Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News
Local beaches have a clean bill of health, according to the latest Fraser Health E. coli monitoring results, making the Tri-City watering holes ideal spots for cooling off in the hot weather. Still, beach-goers are advised to check the most recent water quality reports before jumping in the water and to refrain from drinking lake or sea water, or eating after a dip without rigorously washing their hands. The problem is that E. coli can lead to serious illness, according to Timothy Millard, environmental health officer with Fraser Health, so people shouldn’t take chances. “If they are feeling ill, they should contact a doctor or go to a health clinic,” Millard said. For the most part, local beaches have been clean. Fraser Health’s website has E. coli numbers for a number of beaches in the Lower Mainland, including those at Belcarra Regional Park, Buntzen Lake, Old Orchard Park and White Pine Beach, and they are updated weekly, usually Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. “If there’s no sign or any notification on Fraser Health’s website then we consider the

Tyrsa Gregory cools off at in the water off Old Orchard Park in Port Moody. While some beaches in Metro Vancouver have been closed because of high fecal coliform levels, the water at local beaches has remained safe so far this summer. public safe to be swimming there,” Millard said. Millard said water samples are taken weekly and sent to a Metro Vancouver or BC Centre for Disease Control lab for checking, with the results posted Thursday afternoon or Friday mornings at fraserhealth.ca. If E. coli numbers are above 200 parts per 100 ml — gener-
ally the result of waste from wildlife or humans — beaches are closed and the public is informed. Signs are typically posted at park entrances. Only two Lower Mainland beaches have been closed so far this summer: Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby, which was closed briefly for high E. coli counts; and Hatzic Lake in
Mission, closed because of a potential algae bloom. But beaches in Belcarra and Port Moody currently have E. coli counts well below the 200 per 100 mL, he said. Water sampling numbers are based on an average of five samples, with monitoring beginning at the end of May and typically ending mid-Septem-
ber. Warmer weather can lead to higher E. coli counts because there are more nutrients in the water to feed the bacteria. • For more information, visit www.fraserhealth.ca and type “beach conditions” in the search tool to get the latest water quality results. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
Metro air warning
Metro Vancouver has once again issued an air quality advisory for the Tri-Cities and eastern parts of the region. The advisory was sent out Wednesday because of high concentrations of ground-level ozone. Metro had cancelled an earlier advisory last week when the weather shifted, but with the hot, dry conditions returning, it has issued another one. A regional district press release said although the advisory is for groundlevel ozone, there is a noticeable haze in the region due to wildfire smoke from blazes burning along the west coast. Metro Vancouver advises against strenuous outdoor activity during the mid-afternoon to early evening when ozone levels are the highest. “Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have underlying medical conditions such as lung or heart disease and asthma,” said the release. Anyone having chest discomfort, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing is advised to go see a healthcare provider. The advisory is in effect until there is a change in the weather. Environment Canada’s forecast says that won’t happen until Saturday, when there’s a 60% chance of precipitation (30% Sunday). The long-range forecast calls for sunny skies to return Monday and Tuesday.
heat brings BBQ restrictions in Tri-Cities’ public parks grant granger The Tri-CiTy News
The recent extreme heat has Tri-City fire departments issuing outside cooking bans. After three consecutive days of the fire danger rating having been extreme, Coquitlam declared a ban on barbecues in city parks Tuesday unless with a permit, which can be obtained through the city’s fire prevention division. (Some covered picnic areas and hard surfaces in Blue Mountain, Cottonwood, Mackin and Town Centre parks and Spani Pool do not require
WHERE YOU CAN BARBECUE – SAFELY
The following locations in Coquitlam have been preapproved for barbecue use — propane BBQ only, no open flames using wood or charcoal briquettes — and don’t require an exemption permit: • Blue Mountain Park — covered picnic area on the southeast corner of the park and on asphalted area on the east side of the Scout Hall just outside the covered walkway. • Cottonwood Park — asphalted basketball court area. • Mackin Park — asphalted area outside concession building. • Spani Pool — covered picnic area with concrete pad. • Town Centre Park — asphalted area outside the northwest corner of Percy Perry Stadium.
an exemption permit.) In addition, the city’s fire
department is relaxing the watering restrictions on some
residential and commercial properties adjacent to Mundy Park and along the northern forested boundary of the city. The fire department wants occupants of those properties to ensure the grass, trees and other vegetation are sufficiently hydrated. A list of the eligible properties is available at coquitlam.ca/seasonalsafety. Coquitlam’s bylaws ban outdoor burning, smoking in parks and littering cigarettes. Anyone caught smoking in a city park faces a $500 fine while littering cigarette butts can result in a five of $150. A city news release said staff and bylaw of-
ficers have stepped up patrols of the parks and forested areas during this heat wave. Earlier Tuesday, Port Moody issued a ban on the use of outdoor cooking appliances of any kind in city parks, forested areas and public green spaces. The ban includes any barbecues or other appliances that use propane, charcoal briquettes or liquid or gas fuels. “The fire hazard rating has been elevated from high to extreme due to continuing dry and warm weather,” said Port Moody Fire Chief Ron Coulson in a press release. “These conditions significantly raise
the risk for accidental fires in wooded and urban areas.” Violations of the ban carry a fine of $250. The city’s release also reminds residents and visitors smoking is not permitted in Port Moody parks at any time and open fires are banned year-round in the city. The Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department, which covers Anmore and Belcarra, issued a notice that all cooking appliances will be banned in parks and public areas. The ban includes high-risk activity such as use of chainsaws and land clearing.

POCO TRAIL
Part of PoCo Trail on KFn land closed for summer Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Pedestrians and cyclists using the Traboulay PoCo Trail south of Pitt River Road will have to take another route for the rest of the summer. Last Friday, Kwikwetlem First Nation (KFN) closed a 1.5-km section of the trail that’s on its land for safety reasons as it readies its reserve for a business park. A request for comment from
the band was not immediately returned but, on social media, KFN stated: “Safety is priority one…. Our crew is working to open the dyke asap.” PoCo city staff also alerted residents via social media about the closure, which is expected to last two months. “We have been advised that the primary concern is the close proximity to the dike that their machinery will be working in as they place and com-

“The problem is that allowing wildlife to eat in your backyard is habituating them to forage in residential areas and conditioning them to be comfortable getting close to humans. It’s also increasing their opportunity to get into other attractants She recommends picking all fruit so it doesn’t attract bears or rodents. Although fruit is a problem, leaving garbage out for bears is an even bigger concern. According to the most recent WildSafeBC numbers, nearly 20,000 calls were made about bears getting into garbage
between 2014 and ’17 in the province, with residential fruit responsible for just 288 bear conflict calls and commercial fruit responsible for 285 calls to the BC Conservation Officer Service. Other problem attractants, according to WildSafeBC, are pet food, vegetable gardens, beehives, pets, barbecues, outside freezers, bird feeders, compost and livestock. Coquitlam residents are encouraged to report wildlife attractant issues to the city as soon as possible at 604927-3500 or urbanwildlife@ coquitlam.ca.

fence they have been using has not been effective in keeping people out of their work site after hours.”
She suggested trail users take Shaughnessy Street to link with Colony Farm Regional Park or head further south to
Argue Street to jump back on the trail; barriers and detour signs are now in place. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The Tri-CiTy News
Chloe Goodison and Rebecca Lyon aren’t sure if they want to become firefighters. But they’ve embarked upon a fourday quest to see if they’ve got the right stuff to do the job — or anything else the two 16-yearold Port Moody girls might set out to accomplish. Goodison and Lyon, along with Anmore’s Chloe Heisler and Madelynn Hutchinson of Port Coquitlam, are among 23 young women from around Metro Vancouver attending Camp Ignite (which began Thursday), an initiative by several fire departments to introduce them to the challenges and rewards of a career in firefighting. More importantly, it empowers them, said Camp Ignite’s director, Jen Dawkins. “It gives them the skills to be anything they want in life,” said Dawkins, a Vancouver firefighter for 19 years who lives in Port Moody. This is Camp Ignite’s eighth year. Two of its graduates have become firefighters, one in Vancouver and another in Burnaby. Over the course of the fourday camp, the young women will travel to various fire departments and the Justice Institute’s

Goodison and Lyon’s participation in Camp Ignite is being supported by Port Moody Fire and Rescue, which helps pay their registration costs and outfits them with gear like heavy rubber boots, firefighter pants,
coats, gloves and helmets. Ron Coulson, chief of Port Moody’s fire department, which has one female firefighter in its volunteer squad, told The Tri-City News it’s important more young women take up the profession “to reflect the community we serve.” Goodison, a student at Heritage Woods secondary school, said she still hasn’t decided on a career path, but she knows she wants to “help
people,” noting, “This will be a huge jump in that direction.” Dawkins said apart from the demanding physical labour of fighting fires or attending to accident victims, firefighters are mostly “problem solvers,” and effective problem solving requires input from people with different experiences, ethnicities, sizes and genders. “It’s about creating diversity in our toolbox,” she said. mbartel@tricitynews.com

PoMo OKs laneway home design guides Lighting, outdoor space among the considerations MariO Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
Laneway homes are coming to Port Moody and they’ll have to follow strict design guidelines. At a meeting last month, Port Moody council adopted an amendment to the city’s official community plan to regulate the construction of laneway homes. Coun. Diana Dilworth said the detached dwellings, which are built as accessory homes on the same property as an existing home, will address some of the housing needs of young adults, seniors and young families getting into their first homes. “I’m excited about welcoming this new form of housing,” she said. Coun. Zoe Royer said laneway homes will “bring a lot of good things to the community in terms of livability.” Currently, only a portion of Moody Centre that has been designated as a pilot area is zoned to accommodate lane-
way homes. While the amendment concedes construction of laneway homes “will lead to the sensitive densification of the existing residential character area in Moody Centre,” design guidelines to “respect the character of the neighbourhood and adjacent properties” will create an “attractive, livable environment,” and serve as “inspiration for new development.” Those guidelines include: • a design that is secondary in character and complementary to the principal building; • architectural elements on the facade facing the lane to enhance the residential character of the building and minimize the visual impact of garage doors; • design and the use of highquality materials that enhance existing neighbourhoods; • neighbour-friendly lighting; • sensitive design and orientation of windows, balconies and patios to maintain privacy between adjoining properties; • a minimum of 9.3 square metres of attached outdoor space to be used exclusively by residents of the laneway home; • and parking in the rear yard with direct access from
the laneway. The design guidelines are the culmination of a process that began in 2010 to include provisions for the construction of laneway homes into the city’s official community plan. “This is a long time coming,” Dilworth said. “I’m optimistic we have it right this time.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

OUR OPINION
INGRID RICE
Successful splits a cynic might say the new online divorce tool for couples is a way to get a quickie divorce. after all, breakups are common, with b.C.’s divorce rate at 39.8%. but a closer look at the new online divorce assistant application established by the Ministry of attorney General this summer suggests the initiative is more about removing unnecessary roadblocks to people’s plans than making it easier to get a divorce. for joint-filed divorces — which account for about 30% of the 10,000 divorces sought annually in b.C. — applicants still need to agree on all applicable family law issues, such as spousal support and the division of property, which takes work. Where the online tool is useful is to help users go through the steps, streamlining the process and reducing the chance of a paperwork mistake. While the new assistant can be used on a smart phone and takes around 30 minutes to complete, there is not much chance it will inspire people to get a divorce; rather, it will help them deal with what can be a stressful process.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:
Do you think the new online Divorce assistant will boost b.c.’s Divorce rate?
last week’s question:
Do you think there’s potential for serious wilDfires in the foresteD areas of the tri-cities?
last week: YES 84% / NO 16%

ON THE ROAD
Drive Smart quiz doesn’t have all answers I
CbC has a new drive Smart refresher test on its website to give motorists a fun way to determine how much they know — or have forgotten — about the rules of the road and traffic laws since getting their learner’s permit X number of years ago (fill in the X at your peril). “Why not try it?,” suggested my editor. “It might make a good story. Write about all the stuff you’ve forgotten.” MARIO BARTEL So I did. I got 85%. Not much story fodder there. but of the three questions I answered wrong, I take umbrage with one. The questions on the quiz, it seems, are randomized from a large pool of potential questions so you can take the quiz multiple times and never get the same group of questions. and I don’t know if ICbC has incorporated some sort of algorithm that was able to tap into my web browser history to determine I’m also a cyclist, but five of my questions had something to do with the rules of the road regarding interactions and encounters with cyclists.

and it’s one of those questions that tripped me up — but I think it’s the question that’s flawed. The scenario it presented in a diagram is this: a car in the left lane of a three-lane road going one way is stopped midway through an intersection preparing to make a left turn with the green light. The car’s signal indicators are flashing and the driver is waiting for a pedestrian to clear the crosswalk. a cyclist is following the car and is, in turn, being followed by another car. The question addressed which situation was the most likely to put the cyclist in peril: being hit by a vehicle in the cross street whose driver runs a red light; being clipped by the pedestrian in the crosswalk; being hit by the vehicle following the cyclist; or being hit by the vehicle waiting to make the left turn. as a cyclist with tens of thousands of kilometres logged on Metro vancouver’s busy streets, none of the presented perils are very plausible, although they’re not impossible to imagine. Some crazy stuff happens out there. So I clicked on “getting hit from behind by the following vehicle” — hey, the driver could very well be texting and not notice the car ahead stopped to make a left turn. but the right answer, according to ICbC, is getting hit by the driver making the turn. No self-preservation-minded cyclist would — or should — be
passing that vehicle on the left side, especially as the diagram doesn’t indicate a cycling lane that would give the cyclist some measure of right-of-way. Nor did the diagram provide any context, such as the left-turning vehicle had just passed the cyclist and suddenly cut back into the lane to make their turn, which would be rude and unsafe. In such a situation while on my bike, I would just stop and wait for the car to make its turn or, if it was safe, pass on the right of the turning car and then ease back to the left side of the curb lane as I cleared the intersection. as the driver of that turning vehicle, the last thing I would be looking for on a road without a bike lane is a cyclist coming up on my left when I’ve clearly indicated my intention to turn in that direction as soon as the pedestrian has cleared the crosswalk. Even if the driver was a jerk who’d just blown past me so he could get to the intersection first, I likely still wouldn’t risk passing him on the left as he awaits to make his turn — I would, however, throw him a dirty look as I passed him on the right. of course, then I would risk that driver raging on me for questioning his inalienable right to the roadway. but that wasn’t one of the options I could click. • If you want to try the test, go here www.icbcdrivesmart.ca. mbartel@tricitynews.com • @mbartelTC

BELCARRA REGIONAL PARK
More parking lots in paradise? The Editor, “Build it and they will come.” A perfect example of this maxim is in Belcarra, Port Moody and Anmore’s backyard: White Pine Beach at Sasamat Lake. Once pristine and called Deer Lake, it was renamed, sand was trucked in and a parking lot built. Soon, the parking lot overflowed and there were cars parked up and down Bedwell Bay Road. Another parking lot was carved into the hillside; soon, that overflowed and, once again, there were cars parked up and down the road. On sunny summer Saturdays and Sundays, cars are now parked along both sides of Bedwell Bay Road, up to a kilometre away. Families with kids, dogs, coolers, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys hike down the road to the lake. It’s a pedestrian injury — or worse — waiting to happen. The next fiasco will be Metro Vancouver Regional Parks’ recently approved “proposed design concept” for Belcarra South, the area adjacent to and immediately south of the Belcarra Regional Park picnic area. The proposal includes
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Metro Vancouver’s plans for the southern portion of Belcarra Regional Park will result in more cars and more parking having to be built, says the letter writer. widening the gravel access road into Belcarra South and putting in four parking lots to accommodate 60 more cars. In no time, that will not be enough; there will still be cars parked up and down Tumtumay-whueton Drive as well as Bedwell Bay Road on sunny summer weekends. When will Metro Vancouver Regional Parks take the lead on traffic and parking? There are creative solutions waiting to be tried, including park and ride.
School parking lots sit empty all summer long; there is a huge, largely unused parking lot adjacent to Rona and the Moody Centre SkyTrain/West Coast Express station parking lot is almost empty on weekends. Why chop down more trees when parking lots sit empty? On the June 23 and 24, and again on the July 1 long weekend, the Evangelical Layman’s Church ran a free shuttle bus from the closed Ioco school at 1st Avenue and Ioco Road
into the old Camp Howdy site for the Tea Festival. If a church can do it, why can’t Metro Van? Why can’t TransLink get on the bandwagon to provide extra service on the weekends in the summer months? And what are all those yellow school buses doing once school is out? A ferry service could bring Belcarra picnickers from the wharves at Cates Park on the North Shore and Rocky Point. Suggestions for a more creative approach to Belcarra
Regional Park’s summer weekend parking woes fell on deaf ears at a recent Metro Vancouver board meeting. Before cutting down trees and ripping out salmonberry and huckleberry bushes — food sources for bees, birds, bears and people — why not try something else first? Run a pilot project. Try an interim solution to see if it’s feasible. “Pave paradise and put up a parking lot.” Singer Joni Mitchell got it right. The mayors of Belcarra, Port Moody and Coquitlam all sit on the Metro Vancouver board. Let them know you’d like to see a more innovative solution than paving paradise; email rdrew@ belcarra.ca, mclay@portmoody.ca and rstewart@coquitlam.ca. Or go straight to the top and send the Metro board chair, Greg Moore, a message at mooreg@portcoquitlam.ca. Unless there is a paradigm shift in the thinking of the planners at Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, four more parking lots in Belcarra South will just be the beginning. Where will it all end? Jo Ledingham, Port Moody
BIRDS
Should we cull crows?
The Editor, Is it time to cull the crow population? I know that they are a native bird but they have become quite invasive and destructive. Their natural predators are owls, eagles, hawks, etc., and there aren’t many of those in urban areas. Crows are destructive and noisy, and they are hard on the small song bird population. And they are not endangered. I know my views won’t be liked by all but there are many who will agree. Lois Mackenzie, Port Coquitlam

TC SPOTLIGHT GOV-GEN. MEDAL
A former BC Liberal MLA and Coquitlam city councillor is now on the board of directors for the Coquitlam Foundation. Linda Reimer, the president-elect of the Rotary Club of Coquitlam and a board members with Tri-City Transitions, joined the organization last month; it manages $3.2 million in 30 foundation-directed and donor-advised funds. “We are ecstatic that Linda has agreed to join our board,” said foundation chairperson Roch Ripley, in a press release. “Her wealth of experience and demonstrated commitment to community work will greatly assist our ongoing commitment to encourage and support creative, targeted philanthropy that builds a vibrant, sustainable and healthy community.”
Coquitlam restauranteur Fred Soofi (second from left) organized a Nowruz feast with the Hafez Literature Club, in March. The meal raised $9,243 for Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation to buy an ultrasound for cardiac patients.

A Grade 11 student at Port Moody secondary will receive an honourable sovereign’s medal. Anjali Menon, who was nominated by Free the Children for her volunteerism with environmental initiatives and the food bank, learned last fall she was a recipient but, due to shipping complications, found out she’ll get the hardware in the mail this month. “I am looking forward to using this award as motivation to continue to serve our community,” she told The Tri-City News.
RECYCLE WIN
MAYOR’S CROQUET
The Port Coquitlam Community Foundation’s annual mayor’s croquet tournament last month — an event sponsored in part by The Tri-City News — swung in $70,000 in net proceeds for the nonprofit organization, $20,000 more than last year’s event. Since it started, the annual tourney has brought in $282,000 for the cause, Mayor Greg Moore told city council last month. Please send Spotlight news items and photos to jcleugh@tricitynews.com.
RBC staff walked with Crossroads Hospice Society at the 2018 Teddy Bear Picnic Parade in June to hand out teddy bears — earning it $1,000 from the RBC Foundation, the volunteers’ charity of choice.

Students at Meadowbrook elementary were so good at recycling in their last academic year they won a cash prize in a provincial contest. Spokesperson Andrea MacDonald said their entry into provincial Return-It School competition resulted in a first-place win and $2,500 for the Coquitlam school; second place, in the elementary category, went to Rutland.
RBC staff took time out to spruce up the Crossroads thrift store in Coquitlam. In honour of their volunteering efforts, the RBC Foundation gave $1,000 to the Crossroads Hospice Society.

Tony Parsons Speaks Out About Hearing Loss –– as told by Tony Parsons, former news anchor
As though on cue with National Hearing Awareness month in Canada, Tony Parsons stepped out of retirement to become the official voice for NexGen Hearing, a BC hearing aid retailer with 50 clinics in the province. Tony’s story is an interesting one. Tony Parsons: a lesson worth hearing
Like so many other seniors, I’ve admittedly been reluctant to acknowledge the shortcomings that go with the aging process. You know what we’re like, after all we hear just fine! It’s not our fault if everyone else mumbles. I hear what I want to hear and that’s good enough for me. That’s when some friends convinced me to try the free hearing test at NexGen Hearing in Kelowna. Audiologist Colin VanBergen and his team made the whole experience a pleasure and after the test I came to know that I do indeed have a rather significant problem with my hearing. Since then, I have seen an ENT surgeon and have gradually obtained knowledge. Both hearing professionals have patiently schooled me on some of the aspects of my hearing loss. Today I’m now wearing hearing aids and yes, I admit now that I needed them years ago. Consonants and I are becoming friends again and oddly enough…my wife doesn’t seem to mumble any more! Much to my surprise they are so helpful, discrete and quite comfortable. I spent years and years as a broadcaster with a hearing
device jammed in one ear so I could stay in touch with the director of my nightly newscast. Maybe that had something to do with my hearing issue, one I steadfastly denied. I’ve also learned about NexGen Hearing and what makes them different, as they have an established purpose to go far beyond just product sales. They truly care about people and their quality of life. That’s rare! Sincethen,I’vecometoknowabouttheeducational side of their business and the information and support they can and do provide. I have since been approached by Marke Hambley, President of NexGenHearing,askingthatIconsideraroleinthe company. Today, I am delighted to say that I have committed to speaking out about hearing loss as the official spokesperson for NexGen Hearing and the Hear 4U Foundation. The first commercial endorsement I have ever accepted, I might add!
Another rescue mission and thankfully no damage! How would I explain that to my Audiologist!? So considering that 1 in 4 Canadians suffer some form of hearing loss, I urge you to not delay as I did. Call NexGen Hearing and take advantage of their free Hearing Test!
The dog ate my hearing aids
Oh, and by the way, I’ve become so comfortable wearing my new hearing aids that recently I stepped into the shower still wearing them. Yikes! I realized it just in time, and yanked them back to safety. Then I came close to losing them again. I had carelessly left them on a small table near the TV that I was watching and much to my horror Morley, one of my dogs, tried to make a meal of them.
Been getting the message? Your untreated Hearing Loss affects the ones you love. More words start with the letter ‘S’ than any other letter. But if you have a hearing loss it can feel as though those words have been removed from your hearing dictionary. You have probably also lost the ability to hear the letters; ‘F-P-K & T’. With untreated hearing loss, you won’t be hearing those words either. Hearing aids from NexGen Hearing can put the words back and make hearing easier.

Plumb takes long journey to N.L. hoops Port Moody basketballer takes a roundabout way to his first head coaching gig MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
As the crow flies, it’s almost 7,500 kms from Port Moody to St. John’s, N.L. As Doug Plumb bounces a basketball, it might be six times that distance. To say Plumb, 29, has had a long and curious journey to Canada’s eastern-most city where he was recently named the head coach of the St. John’s Edge professional basketball team that plays in the National Basketball League of Canada, would be an understatement. Hold on, there’s professional basketball in Newfoundland? There is, but Plumb’s story gets better. To get to St. John’s, Plumb first made stops to play professionally in Hungary and Romania. A curious journey indeed. Although there was never any doubt in Plumb’s mind that he wanted basketball to lead the way, even if he did waver a few times. Plumb embarked early, travelling from his family’s home in Port Moody to middle school in Pitt Meadows so he could eventually play basketball for legendary high school coach Rich Goulet. But before he got that chance, he decided to move with his dad, Norm, to Minnesota, where basketball is a bigger deal at the high school level than in Canada and he’d have a greater likelihood of getting the attention of college scouts. The team Plumb played for, in Hastings — a small city of about 22,000 along the Mississippi River — wasn’t

But after a summer working on his game in Minnesota’s Elite Youth Basketball League, Plumb returned with a knack for shooting three-pointers and the Raiders became a top-five high school team in the state. “I put everyone on notice,” Plumb said. Between his junior and senior seasons, an opportunity presented itself for Plumb to fulfil his childhood dream to play for Goulet through the Basketball BC provincial program where he was a coach. So Plumb moved back home for the summer. But that decision took him off the radar of college scouts who closely monitor the way prospects develop in the highly-competitive summer youth leagues. The next winter in Minnesota, Plumb said he

felt lost for much of his senior season. While his teammates were signing scholarship offers from big Division 1 college programs, the best pitch he got was from a smaller second division school. Plumb accepted, but his U.S. college basketball experience didn’t live up to the hype. Crowds were modest, there was no TV coverage, yet the pressure to perform as an expensive out-of-state player was constant. “I was pretty much down in the dumps,” Plumb said. He was also homesick for B.C. Plumb came home and agreed to sit out half a year so he could play at the University of the Fraser Valley where the Cascades’ coach, Barnaby Craddock, reignited his passion for basketball. A knee injury sidelined Plumb, and when Craddock
took a job at the University of Alberta, he was again at loose ends. A gig coaching a kids program at the University of British Columbia opened Plumb’s eyes to the possibility of playing there. After taking a year off to improve his grades, he became the Thunderbirds’ shooting guard in his junior season. Plumb’s three-year run at UBC, from 2011 to 2013, was successful. He was the team’s captain, a CIS second team all-star, and the Thunderbirds made it to the national championships. But as his college career wound down, he was at another crossroads. Plumb had long ago put to bed any notion of making the NBA, but he had no idea how to pursue a pro career in Europe. “I knew I was good enough to play,” he said. “I just needed
an in.” An assistant coach at UBC, Spencer McKay, was that in. McKay connected Plumb to one of the teams he’d played for through his own 16-year journey across Europe, Mexico and Taiwan, and after graduating, Plumb signed a contract with Zalakeramia-ZTE in Hungary’s A Division. It was an eye-popping experience, Plumb said. At one game against a nearby rival, fans almost rioted in the packed 4,000-seat arena after he was decked by a much larger defender from the visiting team. “You’re thinking, ‘I’m in the middle of Eastern Europe, what the hell am I doing here?’” Plumb said. Though hobbled by an offseason training injury to his Achilles, Plumb played well enough to earn a contract for a second season. But the money
wasn’t great, about $3,500 US a month. Back home in B.C. for the off-season, an old buddy in marketing for Nike offered Plumb a chance to earn some extra income helping out with a travelling road show to build the shoe company’s basketball brand. The tour was a success, and when that buddy eventually quit his Nike gig, they decided to create Vancouver Basketball Academy to cultivate and develop young players in the Lower Mainland through summertime combines and camps. Plumb finished out his contract in Hungary, then signed to play in Romania, where he lived in Transylvannia. As the academy took shape, Plumb learned a lot about marketing and started dabbling in coaching. He enjoyed working with the young players, infusing in them the work ethic and perseverance that fuelled his journey through basketball. When another opportunity to sign for a second division club in France came up, Plumb decided to stay home in B.C. instead and go all in on building the academy to go across Canada and into the U.S. Plumb said in addition to the coaching aspect of the job, his marketing and social media efforts to grow the business kept him in basketball’s inner sphere, where he landed a position as an assistant coach and head scout for the London, Ont., Lightning of NBL Canada. Founded in 2011, the league had grown from four to 10 teams by 2017, all of them in smaller cities east of Windsor, Ont., like Kitchener, Oshawa, Halifax, Moncton and Sydney, Nova Scotia. Plumb said it fills a need to provide jobs for top Canadian and American basketball players who can’t see EDGE, page 24

quite scratch their way onto an NBA roster but aren’t willing to head to Europe. That includes several top U.S. college and Canadian national team players. In London, Plumb helped guide the Lightning to a league final and then the first of two consecutive championships. “I figured out I really have a passion for coaching, and I’m good at it,” Plumb said. Then in 2017, just a few weeks before Plumb was to start his third season in
London, he got a call from former Canadian National team stalwart, and longtime European pro, Carl English. The 37-year-old was looking to take one last kick at his career by returning to his hometown of St. John’s to play for the Edge, a new franchise in the NBLC, and he wanted to know if Plumb was interested in coming along as an assistant to head coach Jeff Dunlap. Plumb said the city has embraced the team, frequently selling out the 4,500 seats in the Mile One Centre. “You’re the hot ticket in
town,” he said. And while St. John’s may be an outpost in the basketball world, it’s a heck of a lot more familiar than living and playing in Transylvannia. “You can speak English,” Plumb said. With the recent departure of Dunlap back to the NCAA from whence he’d come, Plumb’s ready to take on his first assignment as a head coach. “If you love the day-to-day of the journey, the rest takes care of itself,” he said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC
