Bear goes to mall, goes to sleep & goes to the woods Bear also spotted near Starbucks in downtown PoCo Diane StranDBerg The Tri-CiTy News
The search for food has brought curious black bears into the Tri-Cities, resulting in one young male being tranquilized and relocated, and another getting time in the spotlight via social media. Friday, Coquitlam RCMP were called to Henderson Place mall, where a bear went in the commercial vehicle underground parking lot. “I don’t know why it wandered down there,” said Sgt. Grant Wong, who was on duty when the bear wandered from PoCo Place Mall to Henderson.
Conservation officers arrived at 3 p.m. and, after assessing the situation, tranquilized the young bruin, then kept it overnight for observation. “There was no aggression or threatening behaviour towards anybody,” Sgt. Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Services told The Tri-City News. The next day, the bear was released in the forest, well out of the city, after officers found it to be healthy. Also Saturday morning, coffee drinkers at Starbucks in downtown Port Coquitlam got more than a shot of caffeine to jolt them awake when they saw a bear sauntering by. A video sent to Global TV and posted to Twitter showed the bear walking by the shop located next to PoCo city hall. see CAUTION URGED, page 3

A Coquitlam family is warning people to beware of a scammer who is approaching people at bus stops asking to exchange a cheque for cash. The fraud reportedly took place at about 9:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3 at a bus stop on Kitchener Avenue in Port Coquitlam. Police say it was an isolated incident and a new version of a cheque-cashing scam that
often leaves people out of pocket. “Any fraudster, any person who is trying to do a scam, is going to go after someone who is vulnerable, often it’s seniors or new Canadians,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin of the Coquitlam RCMP. In this case it was a teenager who was bilked of $400 and his sister is spreading the word to make sure other people don’t fall victim to the same crime.

METRO VANCOUVER AIR QUALITY
Beware the air
Wildfire smoke moving into the region has prompted Metro Vancouver to issue an air quality advisory for the area as well as the Fraser Valley. Wildfires burning in the U.S. and B.C. are causing high concentrations of fine particulate matter to move in. Metro Vancouver said smoke concentrations can vary widely across the region depending on winds and temperatures. Saturday, the regional district cancelled a previous air quality advisory after some clean marine air swept through clearing last week’s smoke away. But a different weather pattern moved in with northwest winds and, by late Sunday, smoke was being measured throughout the region, said a Metro Vancouver release. It also warned elevated levels of fine particulate matter are expected to persist until there is a change in the fire and/ or weather conditions. The release also said the matter can easily penetrate indoors because of its small size. Those with chronic medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Of particular concern, said the release, is exposure for infants, the elderly and those with diabetes, and lung or heart disease.

Bad air caused by wildfires burning in British Columbia and Washington State, plus a return of warmer temperatures, doesn’t keep a cyclist from riding along the Traboulay PoCo Trail beneath the Pitt River Bridge on Monday. Metro Vancouver is urging people with chronic medical conditions to avoid exercise due to poor air quality.
WILDLIFE IN THE TRI-CITIES
Caution urged if you see bears in a busy location continued from front page
Despite these two recent downtown encounters, Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Michael McLaughlin said he doesn’t think there are more bears than usual visiting the downtown area. Still, the public is urged to be cautious if they see a bear in a busy location, to stand well back and to not approach the bear. McLaughlin said police will call the conservation officer service to handle the situation. Bear encounters are down so far this year. As The Tri-City News reported last month, changes to Coquitlam’s gar-
bage collection schedule and an extensive outreach and enforcement campaign are being credited with reducing the amount of animal attractants being left on private property. So far in 2018, only 2,202 violation notices have been sent to residents for unsecured garbage, a 53% decrease from the 4,703 handed out during the same period last year. Despite those positive numbers, the city’s urban wildlife coordinator warned people with backyard fruit trees and bushes to pick the fruit to avoid attracting bears. And 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. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

PORT COQUITLAM
City wants some meeting space at Centennial Pool Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News
Fraser Health Authority may force the city of Port Coquitlam to change its plans to provide storage space and meeting rooms for community groups at Centennial Pool. Rehabilitation of the outdoor pool northeast of Shaughnessy Street and Lougheed Highway began in March. The work includes building new universal change rooms and upgrading the pool’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing. A report to the city’s budget committee last month said the current work is being done while still allowing access to the pool. It will remain open until Labour Day. After that, a new concrete deck and gutter system will be installed, and the pool will be sandblasted and painted. But the current permit from Fraser Health, while allowing for the new universal change rooms, might put a crimp in the city’s plan to get rid of the old genderseparated change rooms. The city wants to repurpose that building to accommodate storage and meeting rooms for user groups, including the PoCo Marlins Swim Club. The plan is to also have genderseparated washrooms that can be accessed from the outside by users of the adjacent Aggie Park instead of having them use a portable toilet behind the baseball diamond backstop. PoCo’s recreation manager, Glenn Mitzel, said the 1972
provincial health act contains a guideline requiring genderseparate change rooms while Fraser Health’s permit requires the universal change rooms to “complement” the old ones PoCo wants to remove. The city wants that condition waived because other Lower Mainland facilities have gone in the direction of universal washrooms, including ones in south Surrey and North Delta that fall under Fraser Health jurisdiction. “We don’t think there’s an issue. What we intended to do is essentially become leaders across the province with the application,” said Mitzel. “We wanted a family change area where there would be accessibility for everyone so everyone would be welcome.” Mitzel said gender neutrality is becoming more accepted and is evolving. The universal change rooms and washrooms would have private compartments for changing, individual toilet stalls and private showers. “There’s complete privacy,” he said. Those are being permitted by Fraser Health but if the authority requires the city to retain the gender-separated change rooms, the plans will have to be drastically modified. Mitzel said the change rooms, in addition to needing upgrading to code, would be smaller than they currently are. Plans for the meeting rooms would likely be abandoned and the planned storage space shrunk. He said currently, storage is a hodgepodge on the pool deck, in temporary closets or in crates. Spokesperson Tasleem Juma said Fraser Health is supportive of universal or gender-neutral change rooms. “Our role is to ensure facili-

The current renovations have also hit a couple of snags, forcing the city’s finance committee to do some number shuffling. The pool’s mechanical equipment unexpectedly needed to be replaced with the $225,000 cost absorbed within the project’s budget, said a report to the committee, which noted the changes will minimize future maintenance costs. Fraser Health also determined the pool’s water supply and return lines were “vastly undersized,” putting the flow rate significantly below current health code requirements. That meant the piping had to be excavated and replaced, and a surge tank installed at an additional cost of approximately $200,000. To pay for it, the finance committee approved adding $200,000 to the budget using money from the pool’s $250,000 contingency fund that is part of the city’s annual budget. The report said the rehabilitation project will significantly minimize the need for the fund in future annual budgets and will be eliminated.

ANOTHER CLOSE CALL
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Fire crews were in downtown Port Coquitlam Monday morning to control smoke billowing from a popular entertainment venue. Brad Lovell of the Giggle Dam told The Tri-City News that chef Pieter Van Meenen arrived at the Shaughnessy Street dinner theatre at around 10 a.m. and called for help after seeing smoke pouring from the beer fridge. It’s believed the compressor on the cooler is to blame, he said. There were no flames or damage to the building. “It was good timing,” Lovell said. “We were lucky again. We’re good and everything is safe.” In 2015, the Giggle Dam escaped damage after a nearby barbershop caught fire, destroying four units along the main downtown strip; that building has yet to be replaced.

PoMo slides weight behind curling hub Mario Bartel
COTTONWOOD PARK WORK BEGINS
Port Moody council is throwing its support behind a proposal to build a regional curling hub somewhere in the Tri-Cities. But it won’t fully commit to the idea until all the costs are known. At its meeting July 24, council endorsed a motion to support in principle the plan for a new curling facility and to communicate that support to Curl BC as well as curling clubs in Coquitlam and Port Moody. Curl BC and the Coquitlam Curling Association recently pitched a plan for an eightsheet, 37,500-sq. ft. facility that would cost about $24 million. The project would also become a regional base for training curlers, coaches, officials and ice makers as well as hosting regional, provincial and national competitions. “There is a need for a regional centre in the Lower Mainland,” said Curl BC executive director and CEO Scott Bailey, who also suggested the provincial association could move its offices from Burnaby to the facility. In June, Coquitlam’s city council voted to receive a staff
Construction on major improvements to Cottonwood Park in Coquitlam began earlier this month. The first phase of the project, expected to be completed by next summer, will upgrade the 2.2-acre park between Cottonwood and Foster avenues with a children’s playground, water play area, youth activity area with skateboarding elements and a basketball hoop, and a covered picnic shelter. The following phase will increase the park size to about five acres and should be done by the following summer, although that’s subject to land availability. It will include two tennis courts, a multi-sport court, a combined diamond and sports field, and outdoor games. Future phases are to include parking, sports fields and other facilities. The final park will be 11.5 acres. newsroom@tricitynews.com
report that said the project is worth pursuing. That report said the project’s estimated cost includes a land contribution worth about $6 million from one of the Tri-Cities, along with $1 million from the other two municipalities. Provincial and federal governments would be asked to contribute about $8 million each. With the closure last summer of the Coquitlam curling club at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, the only ice sheets left in the Tri-Cities for the area’s 676 registered curlers are at the Port Moody rec
complex. But the report said the 40-year-old facility is “approaching the end of its functional lifespan,” and could be repurposed for other sports if the new facility is built. PoMo Coun. Hunter Madsen said the proposal presents a significant cost for fewer than 700 curlers. But Mayor Mike Clay assured him that supporting the project in principle would allow its proponents to further solidify its cost estimates before anyone makes a commitment. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Family ‘flabbergasted’ at scam that targeted 16-year-old Coq. boy continued from front page
“We’re just so frustrated and flabbergasted that this would happen and that someone would think it’s OK to do this. That’s why we want it out there,” the woman, who asked that neither she nor her brother be identified, told The Tri-City News. The 16-year-old was waiting for the bus after work when he was approached by a man who gave the youth a hard-luck story about needing cash and offering to exchange a cheque for money via the teen’s ATM. The boy, not knowing that cheques can bounce, be stolen or fraudulent, did as the man asked, withdrawing the cash from his bank after witnessing the cheque being accepted by the bank machine. It was only a few days later that the boy noticed the funds were missing and the cheque didn’t clear. “He was confused about the money that was missing. He didn’t realize that cheques could bounce and this could be an issue,” his sister said. “He was the perfect target.” It turns out the cheque itself was stolen from someone in
CPL. MICHAEL MCLAUGHLIN Quebec. The family has filed a police report and spoken to the bank, and the hope is that CCTV footage will reveal the identify of the suspect. McLaughlin said police are making progress on the case. Meanwhile, a consumers’ organization is warning people to be wary of strangers offering to exchange cash for a cheque or any other kind of deal that seems suspicious. Bruce Cran, president of the Consumers’ Association of Canada, said the boy learned a tough lesson that will last him a lifetime, even if he doesn’t get his money back.
“I feel really sorry for the kid who thinks he’s helping someone out,” said Cran, who said young people should be taught in school how to avoid scams and frauds that have become so prevalent. “These are street smarts you need to survive in this world.” His association receives many calls from people who have been victimized in scams, with people who are the most vulnerable, seniors for example, and occasionally young people, targeted the most. “He needed instilled in him the ability to be suspicious of it and to walk way,” Cran said. Fraud is one of the most common crimes, according to the RCMP, and vulnerable Canadians are among those targeted by scams. “The best way to fight these types of crime is through awareness,” according to the Mounties. For information on current scams, visit the RCMP website at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/scamsfraudes.

BMN building more housing – for bats Natural habitat is disappearing for ‘unique’ creatures DiaNe StraNDBerg The Tri-CiTy News
Bats are the new bees as conservationists seek to protect the flying mammals that are so important to the ecosystem for pollination and insect control. And in the Tri-Cities, that means building a bat “condo” at Colony Farm Regional Park for the creatures to ensure they have a safe place to raise their young. “Bats, when you learn about them, are very unique,” said John Saremba, the bat team coordinator for the Burke Mountain Naturalists (BMN). His group monitors local bat colonies and provides education programs to foster an awareness among Tri-City residents about the creatures. This is necessary, Saremba said, because bats historically have received a bad rap, resulting in little research and few resources being put towards their protection. “For a species that is so important ecologically, we have very little funding put towards research. It’s because they are nocturnal and a lot of people have a lot of misinformation and fear of bats,” said Saremba, who has come to love the tiny creatures, some of which are

More information and registration for these events are available at www. metrovancouver.org under Events and Calendar. no bigger than a man’s thumb despite their wide wingspan. On a hot day in August, Saremba took The Tri-City News to view the bat condo built with more than 200 volunteer hours by BMN bat team members and their supporters. Designed by Kiyoshi Takahashi, the bat condo can house up to 1,000 bats and has
a large cavity where baby bats can learn to fly. It cost $12,000 to build, with a grant from the Pacific Parklands Foundation. “This condo is unique because it offers a diversity of microclimates,” Saremba said, explaining that female bats need warmth to reproduce and look after their young. So far, the condo has drawn
the interest of a only few bats while most of the colony is housed in a smaller bat box a short distance away at Colony Farm and some local bats have relocated to another roost recently. The solitary males, meanwhile, are in several locations around the area. As bats come to explore the new condo, Saremba expects
the wooden structure will get well used — it’s on their flight path and offers safe lodging. BMN’s bat team knows the habits of local bats because its members visit the colonies at each of the Metro Vancouver parks — Colony Farm, Minnekhada and Widgeon Marsh Regional Park reserve in the Tri-Cities — four times
a year to count the mammals. They also monitor bat boxes placed in parks and greenbelts in Coquitlam, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam. And as volunteer activities go, bat counting is one of the most peaceful and rewarding, said Saremba. Just as the sun is about to set, the park empties out and volunteers begin their vigil. For over an hour, they will stand outside the bat box and use clickers to count the creatures as they fly past them in the night. “It’s just a delightful experience,” Saremba said. The public is invited to participate and those who join in are surprised to learn about bats, their contributions to the environment and even how tender they are towards one another. Sadly, their habitat is disappearing, something volunteers are hoping to address through the construction of bat boxes, and a deadly white-nose syndrome fungus is on the march through North America. It has already been detected in Seattle and could move up here, although Saremba’s team is paying close attention to the issue and has collected guano — bat excrement — for analysis on behalf of the BC Bat Community Program. With luck and community interest, the local bat colonies will thrive. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

SD43 BOARD
A Coquitlam mom with years of volunteering for school programs is throwing her hat in the ring to run for school trustee. Jennifer Blatherwick (jenniferblatherwick.ca) has raised five children in School District 43 and has been a District Parent Advisory Council representative for Maillard middle school, association director of Odyssey of the Mind and a parent reading coordinator for Rochester elementary, among
other activities. Among her top issues is early access to assessment and support for children with learning disabilities and daycare on school sites, which she thinks the school district should promote with new and innovative ways to use facilities year-round. Elections for the SD43 board of education and Tri-Cities councils will be held Oct. 20.

POCO COUNCIL
A former TV news anchor will take another shot at politics — this time, in Port Coquitlam. Tuesday, Steve Darling told
The Tri-City News he will seek a PoCo city council seat in the Oct. 20 municipal election. “I’m big on community and I think there’s a lot going on in Port Coquitlam to be involved with,” the 47-year-old PoCo resident said. “The downtown needs to be revitalized. That’s an area that needs a lot of attention.” He also cited job building and affordable housing for his platform. Last year, Darling lost his bid to become a BC Liberal MLA in the provincial riding of Burnaby-Lougheed, placing second to the NDP’s Katrina Chen with 36% of the vote.

“Look what Coquitlam has done... chased the bears out of the mountains for condos and townhomes.” DEANNA FRIESEN ON A STORY ABOuT A BEAR THAT BECAME TRAPPED lAST FRIDAY IN AN uNDERGROuND PARKING lOT AT HENDERSON PlACE MAll
“It’s so very awful what mankind has done to these animals’ habitat.” COllEEN MulvENA
“In the story, it states ‘the public was not in danger,’ then I see a video of the bear walking around among people? We can anthropomorphize the ‘lil guy’ all we want, but how long until the luck runs out and someone is attacked by this rather large wild animal?” JAMES PuTNAM
THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
Some of those billions from tourists should go to SAR T
ourism brings lots of money into b.C.’s economy — an estimated $15 billion each year — but not enough of that cash is making it to our search and rescue organizations, whose volunteers care for those visitors when their trips into our ample great outdoors go awry. Tourism-related provincial tax revenue alone totalled more than $1.1 billion in 2016, according to the Tourism Industry association of bC, which reported that year saw about six million overnight international visitors arriving in british Columbia.

Many of those visitors are keen to experience our rugged backcountry, whether that means a hike up the Grouse Grind on the North Shore or the diez vistas trail at buntzen Lake, or a backpacking trip into Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. Social media has only added to that trend. beautiful bloggers doing yoga on mountain summits or preparing to jump into glacier lakes have added a carefully curated glamour to nature’s rugged appeal. Nor are the images accidental. Tourism agencies like destination bC pay such social media “influencers” big bucks

to promote the backcountry as a place where the cool kids are hanging. but with those increased numbers come more accidents. Local teams like Coquitlam Search and Rescue and
its counterparts in North vancouver and Squamish are among the busiest in the province. With all the money that’s promoting b.C. as a happening wilderness playground, it’s time a commensurate and stable chunk of cash went to supporting our SaR volunteers. Those rescue teams are regularly called on to perform rescues in very rugged terrain. but our current system leaves hardworking SaR teams stranded in ways they don’t leave our tourists — unsure if needed help is coming when they need it.

volunteers with Coquitlam Search and Rescue and their counterparts in busy locales like the North Shore and along the Sea-toSky corridor do essential work, often rescuing tourists attracted to B.C.’s beautiful and rugged outdoors. But those SAR teams need appropriate, stable funding.

You do not want to make the crows angry
No room at PoMo Inlet Centre fire hall for females
The Editor, Re. “Should we cull crows?” (Letters, The TriCity News, Aug. 10). Letter writer Lois Mackenzie should be a little cautious when advocating culling of crows. The crow is an intelligent bird and even now may be convening a forum to take appropriate action to her ill-conceived idea. A word of advice: Wear a hat for the next little while.

Tri-City News reader Anna Richter snapped this photo late last month at her Coquitlam home of a baby crow, stating in her email: “Who knew baby crows had blue eyes? This wee one spent the better part of the weekend on our back lawn attempting to use his wings. Still waiting for him to take flight.”
New Student Registration On Tuesday, September 4, over 32,000 students in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody and the villages of Anmore and Belcarra will be returning to school. School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) welcomes all students and wishes all of them the very best for the year ahead. If you are new to the area or have moved over the summer, registration for new students will take place in public schools the week of August 27. To register, bring proof of citizenship for parent and child (e.g. birth certificate, PR card, passport), and proof of local residency to your local catchment area school. Please refer to the Funding Eligibility Checklist posted online at www.sd43.bc.ca/schools/registration. Non-residents can contact the International Education Department 604-936-5769 for more information.
The Editor, Re. “Ignite-ing a possible firefighting passion” (The Tri-City News, Aug 10). Port Moody Fire Chief Ron Coulson presents a progressive, inclusive image in this (annual) article that may not be supported by his facilities. In May 2012, I attended a public open house for the proposed plans for the new Inlet Centre fire hall. I noticed that the plan for the second floor showed “dorms” for males and, presumably, any females. The sleeping cubicles were shown to be doorless. I communicated this situation to Mayor Mike Clay. I received a curt reply from (if I recall correctly) a deputy fire chief advising that any female firefighters would use the “officer dorm” (two provided). Of course, this “promotion” of female staff to use the officer dorm might engender resentment in the male staff. A year or so later, I attended
the fire hall’s grand opening, where I confirmed that the new hall had been built with a common dorm, as per original plan. Next year, when The Tri-City News is approached by PoMo Fire-Rescue to cover its Ignite candidates, you should ask to photograph them in the female dorm room to see the response.

Custom Heavy Duty Radiators Fabricated for Hot Rods!
WE ARE THE RADIATOR GO TO PLACE! Bruce Richardson, president of PoCo Events Society, which hosts the annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show, shows off his 1939 Chevrolet that he bought in 2003 for $350. He took 12 years to restore it and make it drivable. Richardson will have the vehicle on display at the show on Sunday.
GEARING UP FOR POCO CAR SHOW Janis Cleugh | The Tri-City News jcleugh@tricitynews.com
He bought the car for $350 after spotting an ad in a car magazine. And Bruce Richardson figures it was the cheapest thing he bought while he restored the 1939 Chevrolet. In 2003, the Port Coquitlam resident picked up the vintage vehicle from its Coquitlam owner and, over the next dozen years, travelled to Salt Spring Island to grab some parts from fellow car enthusiast to bring the beauty back to life. Three years ago, Richardson was finally able to put it on the road — and display it in the annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show, a massive exhibit he has helped to organize for years with PoCo Coun. Dean Washington and others. Sunday, the retired SD43 electrician will display his wheels once again in the 14th annual show ’n’ shine, the city’s largest biggest one-day event, which brings in vintage, classic, custom, muscle and replica cars from around B.C. and beyond. More than 500 owners have signed up for the day, Richardson said, with about 175 of them scheduled to take part in the fifth annual car cruise the night before — a parade around the city that launches from the Leigh Square Community Arts Village at 6 p.m. Saturday. Richardson, who is the president of the PoCo Events Society, which hosts the car attraction, said he anticipates another large turnout of visitors Sunday to inspect the vehicles and to take part in the day’s activities. Dominion Lending and Pennington Holdings will start the event with a breakfast — with many city council members behind the tables and the grills to flip pancakes and to serve up the nosh.
“Everyone wants a piece of that,” Richardson joked. As for Richardson’s black satin machine, which he has tricked out with skulls, he still has a bit more work to do to the interior. “It’s a never-ending project,’ he said, shaking his head, “but I think all owners say they’ve got a labour of love on their hands.”

Kids aged five to 15 can learn how to build a 1/24-scale plastic model classic car or hot rod during the Downtown Port Coquitlam car show on Sunday. The workshop runs from 1 to 3 p.m. in The Outlet at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (behind PoCo city hall). Registration is free; however, space is limited to 50 entrants. Visit pococarshow.ca/modelcar
SATURDAY NIGHT
Grab your lawn chairs to watch some 175 custom and classic cars roll through the streets of Port Coquitlam on Saturday night.
Doug Harder, this year’s Wall of Fame honouree, will run his model car workshop for kids in The Outlet from 1 to 3 p.m. while tribute acts and Terry Fox Rock School bands will take to the Leigh Square bandshell stage beginning at noon.
Starting at 6 p.m. from Leigh Square Community Arts Village, the parade will be led by three pace cars from Metro Ford Motors and wind through Citadel Heights before making its way to the north side and returning to Leigh Square by 8 p.m.
Also, as in past years, title sponsor Metro Ford Motors will have a selection of their vehicles at the main corner of Shaughnessy Street and McAllister Avenue.
This year, participants and their riders are being asked to dress in a costume matching the era of their vehicle, said event co-ordinator Bruce Richardson, noting a prize will be handed out to the best dressed.
But while participating vehicle owners are eager to show off their restoration talents, they’ll have their sights set on the big prize, won last year by Langley resident (and first-time participant) Tom Hoeltgen for his 1933 Ford Roadster.

They’re throwing punches at Parkinson’s Activity keeps these PoCo people healthy & happy
RIDE SATURDAY
On Saturday, Aug. 18, you can do something active to help find better treatments and possibly even a cure for Parkinson’s disease by participating in the Tour de Fox cycling event. The family-friendly casual ride features four course lengths (15, 40, 64 and 112 km) that begin and end at Me-n-Ed’s pizza parlour in Port Coquitlam. All proceeds from the ride go towards Parkinson’s research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation. For more information, or to register as a rider or volunteer, go to www. tourdefox.org.

The Tri-CiTy News
Parkinson’s took away Jay Siddall’s business but he won’t let it take away his happiness. Siddall, 65, was forced to sell his company, BC Textile Innovations in Port Coquitlam, after he was diagnosed eight years ago. But rather than sitting around the house fretting, he got active — which included fretting of another kind. Siddall reinvigorated his passion for playing his Fender Stratocaster guitar and started crafting walking sticks that he likes to give away. He also rides his bike, practises yoga and boxes. Siddall said the activity helps give him a sense of control over Parkinson’s, a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that can cause progressively worsening symptoms like tremors, rigidity and difficulty walking — and a disease that afflicts about 13,000 people in British Columbia. “If you sit around with Parkinson’s, it’s going to jump all over you,” he told The TriCity News. One of Siddall’s boxing partners at the Parkinson Wellness Centre in New Westminster, where they participate in a special program called Rock Steady Boxing, is Audrey Cerny. The 56-year-old Port Coquitlam resident was diagnosed more than three years ago after a twitch that started in a finger got progressively worse.
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Audrey Cerny, 56, and Jay Siddall, 65, have learned the importance of staying active despite being diagnosed with Parkinson’s. The Port Coquitlam residents do regular boxing workouts at the Parkinson Wellness Centre in New Westminster. She said, at first, her diagnosis was paralyzing. “Everywhere I’d go, I wondered if this was the last time I’d be doing this,” Cerny said. But with resources she gathered from the Parkinson Society of British Columbia, Cerny started spreading the word about her disease to friends and family to help ease their fears as well as dissipate her own. She also resolved to
stay active with her scrapbooking, travel, yoga and, eventually, her newfound love for boxing. Cerny said the exercise not only helped control her symptoms, it also improved her mental outlook. “You’re doing something proactive for yourself,” she told The Tri-City News. Robyn Murrell started working with Parkinson’s patients
four years ago as a component of her business as a personal trainer. She started by organizing a walking group that attracted people from across Metro Vancouver. Then, in 2016, she became a certified instructor of Rock Steady Boxing, a program out of Indianapolis that uses noncontact boxing fitness to help people with Parkinson’s improve their quality of life.
Last March, she opened the Parkinson Wellness Centre in New Westminster’s Sapperton neighbourhood, to create a safe space for people with Parkinson’s to work out by hitting heavy and speed bags, skipping rope, participating in a dance program and sharing their experiences, fears and hopes with one another. “It’s like a support group,” Murrell said of the facility,
which is unique in B.C. “They can be themselves here.” Murrell said the repetitive intensity of a boxing workout, which includes exercises for footwork and hand/eye coordination as well as balance and reflexes, stimulates the brain to produce dopamine, which can help ease the symptoms of Parkinson’s. It’s also a big confidence booster. “Activity reduces stress,” Murrell said. “And stress brings on symptoms.” Siddall said staying active despite his diagnosis has made him as happy as he’s ever been in his life. “You have to look forward all the time,” he said. “Every day is a good day but some are better than others.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

It’s going to be easier for neighbourhood associations in Port Moody to access grant money from the city to help them put on community events, including block parties. As its last meeting before adjourning for the summer, Port Moody council approved a simpler application and approval process to encourage those associations to put on events. In 2017, the city established a $5,000 fund to support neighbourhood events but, according to a report submitted to council, there were no requests to access that funding last year. In his report, the city’s manager of cultural services, Devin Jain, said simplifying the ap-
plication process will make the funding available to a broader range of groups. Neighbourhood associations can access up to $750 from the city’s fund to help stage events and organizers of block parties are eligible for a grant of $200 to support their event. Kate Zanon, PoMo’s general manager of community services, said groups could apply for funding for one event or block party per calendar year and those applications would be considered on a first-comefirst served basis. She said other requests for the city’s assistance, like providing road barriers, could be included in the application. “Our intent is to keep this as simple as possible,” she said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC
FUNDRAISERS
$ sought for fire family A Coquitlam family is scrambling to find a place to stay following a fire that destroyed the house they were living in on Spuraway Avenue last month. The Habash family has started a gofundme page to raise $10,000 after they lost all their belongings, including identification, in the July 31 blaze that claimed the house they were renting. The emergency housing funding that allowed them to stay in a local motel ran out Tuesday. “My whole life. Everything. A pair of underwear I don’t even have. I don’t even have a
pair of socks,” said father Abe Habash, 35, who said he did not have tenant insurance. He said his wife Chelsea, 26, son Braeh, 4, and daughter Dailyh were visiting her family in Nova Scotia when the fire broke out and they have stayed put. Habash’s family from Ontario, however, was in town. His sister, Sara, and brother, Ahmed, were in the house at the time of the fire while he was out with his father. As of Monday, since setting up www.gofundme.com/vancityfire Aug. 4, the family had received 28 donations totalling $2,056.

A PoCo tree show for the senses JAnis Cleugh
janis cleugh/the tri-city news
Port Coquitlam’s story started with trees. On April 13, 1913, the city’s first mayor, James Mars, joined council and their 1,300 constituents to parade to Aggie Park to plant four trees to commemorate its incorporation a month prior, on March 7. At that ceremony, Mayor Mars gave each child enrolled at Junction School a silver medallion, of which four are now on display — along with photos from the inaugural event — at the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society museum as part of a five-month show called The Secret Life of Trees. The show, which officially opens at The Outlet on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Carol Hubbard Memorial Natural History Exhibit series, is the society’s first partnership with PoCo Heritage Trees, a group founded last year to build awareness about the importance of urban trees in PoCo. And stepping into their newly created space is a pleasure for the senses, bringing the city’s forested environment inside. Visually, they demonstrate how trees benefit our daily lives from products (food, medicine, books) to seed dispersal through critters and the wind. In one case, they’ve turned a cedar tree stump upside down to display its intricate root network; in another case,
PoCo Heritage Trees’ James Bobick and Nancy Furness (left) with Kelly Brown, museum coordinator for the PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives. The giant paper tree was created by the Friends of the Leigh Square Scoiety members: Susan Robinson, Brad Nickason, Katie Furness-Moore and others. there’s an exhibit showing how salmon carcasses fertilize the forest floor, thus regenerating Mother Earth. For multi-media, Patrick McCarthy of Tri-Cities Community TV looped tree scenes for a 30-minute film while there’s also a video quiz to test guests’ knowledge of famous PoCo trees (i.e., where is PoCo’s oldest apple tree?). But it’s the giant paper tree that’s the show stopper. Crafted by the Friends of Leigh Square Society and Katie Furness-Moore, its deciduous leaves will change colours this fall with the help of students. As for sounds, “fauna music” is piped in through the speakers and, for scent, the aromas from living moss, grass and branches take over. Participants can also touch a section of a cedar tree to count the rings and guess its age. And children will also be invited to go on a scavenger hunt to search for bugs and butterflies around the museum. Nancy Furness, spokesperson for PoCo Heritage Trees, said the group’s been waiting
JAMES BOBICK for the chance to work with the museum to pair its mandate with the city’s natural history elements. “I think they meld together really well,” she said. Museum co-ordinator Kelly Brown, whose exhibit proposal was approved in April, also said she’s thrilled with the results and looks forward to hosting school tours. Still, there’s more. To get outside and show the tree connection first hand, the groups have organized several gatherings for the public: • yoga in Elks Park with Hyde Creek recreation centre staff (Aug. 16 and 29 at 7 p.m., and Sept. 15 at 11 a.m.); • and a walking tree tour (Aug. 25 at 2:30 p.m., Sept. 8 and 22 at 2:30 p.m., Sept. 30 at 1 p.m., and Oct. 6 and 20 at 2:30 p.m.). Funding for The Secret Life of Trees comes from the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program via BC Hydro, the city of PoCo and Telus.

PoCo watchmaker ticks in proceeds for charity Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
A Port Coquitlam company that makes handcrafted wooden watches will donate 100% of its online sales this weekend to Dress for Success. Tense Watches is reaching out to customers to support the charity during its World Humanitarian Day campaign, Aug. 17 to 19. It’s also giving six of its wood watches to clients of the non-profit group, which helps Metro Vancouver women get into the workforce by providing them with professional clothing, career services and skills training. It’s the first time Tense Watches has partnered with the organization, said marketing co-ordinator Taryn Liebholz who recently brought
the cause to the attention of the company founder, Ken Lau, and his two daughters. Still, it’s not the first time the PoCo business has collaborated with a charity: In the past, Tense has also worked with the David Suzuki Foundation, creating watches with a green face to raise funds for the environmental charity. “We strongly believe in giving back to our community,” Liebholz told The Tri-City News last week during a tour of the office. “I reached out to [Dress for Success] because I could see the impact it was having locally.” Started in PoCo in 1971, Tense Watches currently sells about 22,000 units around the world each year. Its customers tend to be style conscious and eco-friendly, Liebholz said, showing some designs
in a variety of reclaimed or recycled wood — such as walnut, maple, olive, teak, butternut, olive and bamboo — that retail from $150 to $1,000. (Its koa wood models can only be found in Hawaii through Martin & MacArthur.) The scrap wood — for straps or watch faces — is crafted at a PoCo factory, which employs about a dozen workers, then are assembled by hand at its Broadway Street office by another dozen staff, using Miyota (Japanese) or Swiss movement; Tense also employs five sales reps to distribute to wholesalers, she said. The wood watches are particularly popular in U.S. southern states, Liebholz said. “They get people talking because they are so incredibly unique,” she said. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Byrnes is back for last ‘Grill’ Juno award winner returns to Evergreen to wrap up summer music series
Legendary musician Jim Byrnes performs at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam on Saturday with a band that includes Pat Stewart on drums and Simon Kendall on keyboards.

Though the vocalist and actor never took singing lessons, he feels he now knows how to use his body without wrecking his voice, he said. “I really feel I’m using my instrument and I’ve learnt what I can sing and what not to sing. I’m not trying to imitate people. I feel like, after 50 years in the business, I have found my voice.” He promises to deliver “a good mix of songs” for his Coquitlam concert — not just blues, but also some 1960’s covers, R&B hits and country/ soul tunes. “I think people will be pleased with what we’ve got in store,” he said. • For tickets to the final Music on the Grill show of the season, on Aug. 18 at 8 p.m. with Jim Byrnes and company, call the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way) at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre. ca. The barbecue portion of the evening (featuring Francis Henson of Vancouver) is now sold out; however, a limited number of concert seats are still available at $35 each.

It’s been three years since Juno award-winner Jim Byrnes played the Evergreen Cultural Centre. And it’ll be his third time performing at the Coquitlam venue for its annual Music on the Grill series. “It’s always great to get out there,” the blues musician told The Tri-City News last week. “Twenty-five years ago, I was playing downtown in the clubs and now my friends have moved out that way. I look forward to seeing them again.” The American-born Byrnes hopes to make some new friends, too, when he takes to the stage Saturday with his stellar band that includes drummer Pat Stewart (The Odds, Bryan Adams, Matthew Good); keyboardist Simon Kendall (Doug and the Slugs); and Grammy award-winning trumpeter Terry Townsend (Ray Charles, Colin James). For his part, Byrnes — who turns 70 next month — said he’s never sounded better.

Catherine Polonio doesn’t just cheer for the Coquitlam Express hockey team, she has a personal stake in the team’s players as she and her husband, Mark Siljander, have been a billet family for the team for four years.
MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS
COQUITLAM EXPRESS
Billets provide more than a place to sleep MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Catherine Polonio calls the Coquitlam Express her “boys.” But she’s much more than a super fan. For some of the players, she’s their “West Coast Mom.” Polonio and her husband, Mark Siljander, are billets, providing a home away from home for one or two players on the team as they chase their hockey dreams hundreds and sometimes thousands of kilometres from their own families. It’s a weighty and sometimes challenging responsibility, especially for a couple who’s never had kids of their own
and have no previous experience navigating the ups and downs of adolescence and burgeoning adulthood. It’s also endlessly rewarding, Polonio said. “If I can make a difference in the kid’s life, that’s what matters,” she said. “I can be a stepping stone to achieving their dreams.” Polonio didn’t set out to become a billet. She’s loved hockey her whole life, attended Vancouver Canucks games with her dad when she was a kid and supported the hometown BC Junior Hockey League team as an adult. It was a chance conversation four years ago with Express president Mark Pettie that deepened her relationship with the team. No sooner had she told him of her affection for the Express, when Pettie hit her up to become a billet, providing shelter,
food, transportation and — quite often —counsel, guidance and encouragement to a couple of players from out of town— in other words all the things a parent might do. “You’re looking for somebody who wants to be their family,” Pettie said. “It’s not just opening up a bedroom, you’re there for a little bit of support.” Pettie said the Express requires 10 to 12 families to billet one or two players for a season. The commitment includes making sure they eat right, get to and from practices and games, as well as attend school if they’re still in school. In return, the Express helps defray some of the cost of groceries, and the billet family receives a season ticket package as well as invites to special events like the team’s awards banquet at the end of the season.

Polonio admits she and her husband had no idea what they were doing when they first opened their door to a pair of hulking young men with big appetites and bigger dreams to achieve the next level on their hockey journey. They just went on instinct. “Right from the get-go, I let them know it’s my house, it’s my rules,” Polonio said. “I treat them like they were my own kids.” When her first two players were traded, they were replaced by a big 6’5” 18 yearold who ate everything in her kitchen. While some players alight in Polonio’s home only briefly, others return every year they’re with the team. Like Noah Turansky, who stayed three seasons and even learned how to drive in Polonio’s car.

sions to Whitecaps’ and BC Lions games, post-game pizzas, drives to and from the rink or school, and even providing one player with a part-time job, the bond between the young men and their host family tightens. Pettie said having good billet families that provide good experiences can help recruiting down the line. “Parents do ask that question,” he said. “If they hear there’s good billet families, it helps us in attracting players.” Polonio said she’s had to learn all her players’ quirks, superstitions and dietary needs, like Riley Johnson’s affection for Pop-tarts. “I never had to buy Pop-tarts before in my life,” Polonio said. That bond often continues after players leave the team with email, text and Facetime, even visits to a player’s new
hockey environs at university or the next level of junior hockey to catch up and see how they’re doing. It’s all about fuelling their aspirations, Polonio said. “These boys live and breathe hockey,” she said. “That’s a lot to ask from a young man.” And creating a positive experience for what many of them is their first time living away from home, is an important step into turning those players into men, Pettie said. “Part of this process is making them independent and accountable,” Pettie said. “That’s how you make a good team and make these kids good people.” • To learn more about becoming a billet family go to https://www.coquitlamexpress. ca/billet-families-volunteers mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Bulging, Herniated or Worn Discs may be to Blame for Sciatica, Pain and Numbness in Legs Bulged Disc
] Did you know that over 30 million people in North America suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.
Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal...Without Drugs or Surgery Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating
Herniated Disc Sciatica Pinched Nerves Stenosis
“For me, taking this program has been a huge success. I have my normal life back. The best part of it is to be able to say… I remember when I had a herniated disc.” — Bridget
negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This essentially creates a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is one of many treatment options available at Spinal Decompression Institute.
Class IV Therapeutic Laser The Spinal Decompression Institute utilizes a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is a nonsurgical, outpatient procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has been shown to be effective in helping patients to return to work, sports and the everyday activities of life they enjoy. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.
Who is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression? 7 out of 10 people experience low back and neck pain at some point in their lives. These types of pain are the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians and hospitals. Back and neck pain exists in epidemic proportions today. Many spinal conditions can be treated, including pain
due to bulging and herniated discs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and much more. If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.
