Cops bust an ID theft ring, issue a warning Don’t leave ID in cars, which thieves will target: PMPD DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Terry Fox Ravens football coach Martin McDonnell keeps a shovel in the team’s storage locker to deal with potholes and dog waste he often finds on the field before practice. For more information and a story on Port Moody’s poop program, see page 4.
Port Moody Police investigators busted a Surrey identity theft ring that victimized a Port Coquitlam woman and dozens of others. Last Friday, PMPD’s Community Action Team swept into a home south of the Fraser River to execute a search warrant and found about 80 pieces of identification — real and fake — as well as credit cards, laptop computers and 20 flash drives. Sgt. Bradley Sheridan, who heads the team, said there were a number of people in the home as well as one person
who tried to hide under a set of stairs beneath a pile of household items but was eventually found. This is the second identity ring bust that PMPD have made in Surrey in recent weeks. In the previous arrest, a woman who left her purse in her car on St. Johns Street in PoMo was also victimized. Charges were later laid against a Surrey woman. Friday’s identity ring bust followed a five month-investigation that began when a PoCo woman left her purse in her car while visiting White Pine Beach at Sasamat Lake. Sheridan said a suspect broke a window, stole the purse and later started using the credit cards — even buying cellphones and opening a bank account using the ID. see KEEP EYE ON, page 10

A
more natural setting — and a savings “in the thousands” of dollars — are the reasons behind the move from Blue Mountain Park to Mundy Park for this year’s Coquitlam Terry Fox Run. And organizers Erin Davidson, Brenda Martel and Grace Choi say they hope the scenic location will not only be a hit with participants but will draw more to the annual fundraiser on Sunday. “It’s such a pretty area,” said Martel, a cancer survivor who championed the Terry Fox School Runs as a teacher at Moody middle. “We want this to be our permanent run space.” Davidson, a former executive director of the Austin Heights Business Improvement Association, said the group is shaving “thousands” of dollars from its budget by relocating the event to Mundy, saving on such items as police and city resources, and rental of portable loos. Mundy Park has a new fieldhouse on Hillcrest Street that has public washrooms and an overhang at the entrance, where the stage will be placed. (Terry Fox Foundation execu-

Staff from BMO and other banks will be in charge of registering the 200-plus participants, said Choi, an event planner. “We believe this will be a unique run,” Martel said. “We have many people involved and we have a beautiful park for people to spend some time with the family and remember Terry Fox’s legacy.” Coquitlam is one of 119 registered Terry Fox Runs happening in B.C. and the Yukon this year — and one of four in the Tri-Cities — said provincial director Donna White, about the same as in 2016.

PORT MOODY
Somewhere in PoMo, you’ll walk over a rainbow The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody is getting a rainbow crosswalk. Where it will be located is still to be decided. On Tuesday, council approved a request made in July by the community group Creating LGBT+ Community in Port Moody for a rainbow crosswalk as a symbol of gay pride and acceptance of the LGBTQ community. But councillors directed staff to investigate other, more high-
profile locations than the one proposed on Murray Street between Brewers Row and Rocky Point Park. “It’s nice to see something fun come across our agenda,” Coun. Diana Dilworth said. “I think the crosswalk that is being requested really represents Port Moody as a fun, welcoming and inclusive community.” But she suggested the project isn’t ambitious enough, adding, “I’d like to see something bigger. I think it’s nice to recognize our fun and frivolity outside of Brewers Row.”
Robson
BARBERSHOP Men’s Hairstyling & Shave Nothing more than $20!
Dilworth said a number of crosswalks around the civic complex or at a busy intersection like Guildford Way and Ioco Road might achieve that. That’s encouraging to Amy Anne Lubik, who made the original pitch to council for the crosswalk. “It’s so nice they potentially want more than one crosswalk,” Lubik said. “I think the biggest thing for us is to have it in a place that’s very visible.” While Mayor Mike Clay supported the crosswalk, he said the city needs to think
outside the lines. “I wish we had a better idea,” Clay said. “Once everybody has a crosswalk, they’re not fun anymore. It’s like getting the same tattoo as everybody else to show how unique you are.” Since the first rainbow crosswalk in Canada was painted in 2013 at the corner of Davie and Bute streets in Vancouver, similar crosswalks have been installed in various cities around British Columbia, including New Westminster, Victoria, Kelowna, Squamish and Maple Ridge.
And this week, a request came before Coquitlam council for a rainbow crosswalk in the city centre area. Clay also said he has seen proposals for such crosswalks divide some communities rather than bring them together. But Lubik said people have to get past the idea that rainbow crosswalks are just for the LGBTQ community. “It’s for everybody,” she said. “It’s for people from all different walks of life to feel included.” Lubik, who works in health

sciences, said there have been scientific studies that show people in general feel happier around rainbow crosswalks and they quickly become places where the community meets and gathers. She said she would like to see Port Moody’s rainbow crosswalk in place by next spring. “It would be wonderful if the community could have some sort of grand crosswalk opening.”

DOG WASTE
Sports fields poo problem safety hazard Football coach, cities on lookout for feces on fields
MORE DOGGY DOO BINS FOR POMO
There will be fewer surprises underfoot, and less smell from some garbage cans, in Port Moody. On Tuesday, council decided to expand the city’s dog waste diversion pilot program to three more locations. Specially marked dog waste bins will be installed at Bert Flinn Park, on the Shoreline Trail and on the Alfred Howe Greenway. In April 2016, the city established its first dog waste bins at the Rocky Point Park dog park and at a trail connection at Klahanie Drive to see if the cans would reduce the amount of doggy doo in nearby general waste bins. Since then, the two bins have collected an average of 700 litres of dog poo per month, which is sent to Metro Vancouver’s wastewater treatment facility at Iona rather than to a landfill, according to a report presented to council. They’ve also reduced by 30% the waste volume collected in those areas by parks maintenance crews, allowing them more time to work on other projects. “It’s anticipated that further expansion of the overall program could result in further maintenance efficiencies,” said the report. Adding the three new locations will increase the annual operating costs of the pilot program from $10,100 to $16,600, which will be funded from the city’s sanitation utility reserve.
MARIO BARTEL
The Tri-CiTy News
Football coaches don’t like surprises. They spend hours designing plays. They scout opponents, then drill their teams to anticipate their every move on both sides of the ball. So when Terry Fox Ravens coach Martin McDonnell walks the field before practice and finds surprises, he’s not happy. “It’s one of those things, it’s just an annoyance,” said McDonnell of the piles of dog poo he frequently has to clean up before his players hit the grass at the Port Coquitlam high school. In fact, walking the field with a shovel in hand and keeping an eye out for doggy deposits and freshly dug holes has become a regular pre-practice routine for McDonnell. The former is a health hazard, McDonnell said, noting, “Over the years, some of my students have had to miss school due to serious staph infections.” The latter is a safety hazard, he said. “Students are at risk of sprained and broken ankles when running on uneven surfaces.”
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
An off-leash dog strolls past football players practising at Terry Fox secondary Monday. District 43 rules prohibit dogs, other than assistance dogs, from school property between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. While dogs other than assistance dogs are not allowed on School District 43 property between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., McDonnell said he typically sees “10 to 20 people a day walking and throwing balls to their dogs on our school grounds and fields.” All three municipalities in the Tri-Cities also have bylaws restricting off-leash dogs to designated off-leash dog parks, away
from sports fields. Those fields also have signs reminding users of the rules, which are enforced by bylaw officers during regular patrols or when a complaint is filed. City of Coquitlam spokesperson Kathleen Vincent said there have been 29 such complaints called in to the city’s bylaw enforcement line so far this year. “The more frequent complaint is about dogs digging holes in

the fields and being off leash during games or chasing our [lawn] mowers,” Vincent said. Rosemary Lodge of the city of Port Moody said parks crews keep an eye out for hazards like potholes, litter and excrement during their twice-weekly maintenance visits to eight natural grass fields, two artificial turf fields and one all-weather field. “Residents are asked to be
responsible pet owners in our parks and clean up after their dogs,” Lodge said, adding not cleaning up their dog’s excrement can cost an owner $100 for a first offence to $300 for the third offence. The city of Port Coquitlam also has bylaws that ban animals from running at large in its parks and requiring owners to clean up and dispose in appropriate receptacles any waste left behind by their animal. Fines for not cleaning up after a dog can be as high as $150.
Todd Gross, PoCo’s city’s manager of parks and services, said crews also check sports fields daily during playing season and weekly when there are practices for safety and playability hazards like ruts, standing water, damage or vandalism. Still, McDonnell said, scofflaws persist. “School fields and playgrounds are not dog parks,” he said. “It’s frustrating.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

ALLAN SCHOENBORN
No appeal of HRA ruling Crown will let Schoenborn highrisk ruling stand
A decision by a BC Supreme Court judge last month to not label a triple child killer a high-risk offender won’t be challenged. Yesterday (Thursday), the BC Prosecution Service announced it won’t be filing an appeal of the ruling that denied the designation for Allan Schoenborn, who is now in the Forensic Psychiatric
Hospital in Coquitlam. In 2010, Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible for murdering his three children in their family home in Merritt on account of a mental disorder. The high-risk accused (HRA) designation was sought by the provincial government in 2015 under a new section of the Criminal Code of Canada — effectively limiting any chance Schoenborn would have to obtain day passes. “After a thorough review of the court’s reasons” to deny the label, the BC Prosecution
Service wrote in its news release, dated Sept. 14, “the BCPS has concluded there is no likelihood that it would succeed in an appeal of the court’s decision.” Last month, Schoenborn’s ex-wife, Darcie Clarke, warned the Tri-Cities about his upcoming temporary releases from the institution, stating they “will only result in misery and pain for residents.” • Go to tricitynews.com to read the BC Prosecution Services’ full explanation of its legal conclusions. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

An entire bear family consisting of a sow and three cubs was euthanized earlier this week after they were found to have a history of getting into garbage and compost in Port Moody’s Glenayre neighbourhood. The four bears were chased into two trees by Port Moody Police in the Westmount and Mount Royal drive area Monday and, over a period of two days were captured and “humanely euthanized,” according to Conservation officer Sharlene Syer. The bears had an “extensive history” of conflict in the areas, Syer said, and the sow had been teaching the cubs to get food out of residential garbage and compost bins. Although the cubs were born this year, they wouldn’t have been good candidates for rehabilitation and relocation, Syer said, noting, “With that sort of teaching going on, the cubs would go back to the area where they got the most

the city and residents to get it locked. “That has since been rectified — a little too late, I guess.” Since April 1, five bears have been euthanized in Port Moody, four in Coquitlam and three in Port Coquitlam, with the Tri-Cities responsible for two-thirds of 3,743 conflict calls in the Fraser North zone. As well, two cougars were shot in Coquitlam and two cubs from Belcarra sent to Critter Care in Langley for rehabilitation. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING on ANMORE ZONING BYLAW No. 568-2017 Anmore Municipal Council has scheduled a Public Hearing, to be held in the gymnasium at Anmore Elementary School, 30 Elementary Road, Anmore, BC, on Monday, September 18, 2017 starting at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the bylaw is to replace the existing Zoning Bylaw with an updated version, which was last adopted in 2005. The Zoning Bylaw regulates land use and density within the municipal boundaries of the Village of Anmore. The changes being proposed in Anmore Zoning Bylaw No. 568-2017 will affect all properties and lands within the Village. A copy of the bylaw and relevant information considered by Council in an open meeting will be available for public inspection at village hall during regular office hours (Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) from September 11 to 18. All persons who deem themselves affected shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard in person at the Public Hearing. Written comments can also be submitted in-person, by mail or by email (christine. milloy@anmore.com) up to 4:00 p.m. on September 18.

Eventually, officers tracked the theft to a Surrey home, where a woman with outstanding warrants and a driving prohibition was arrested. A vehicle with stolen licence plates related to the PoMo ID theft was also found. Police subsequently obtained a search warrant for a second Surrey home, where laptops, thumb drives, personal ID, including driver’s licences, Care Cards, social insurance numbers, passports and credit cards, was found. “Our victim’s ID was used in a manner that drew attention to this [first] residence in Surrey so then we went there and one thing led to another,” Sheridan said. Charges have not yet been approved and Sheridan said police are continuing their investigation. But the revelation of a second large identity ring theft in recent weeks has police once again reminding people to not leave their purses and wallets in cars. As well, Sheridan said people should stay up to date with their credit and banking transactions so they can spot something untoward quickly.
SPEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. Not knowing your finances can hamper the investigation, Sheridan said. “Our warning is twofold: Please make sure you don’t leave anything in your car at any time. And it’s really important that people keep a good understanding of their finances and their credit cards,” Sheridan told The Tri-City News. “The sooner you become aware of it the sooner you can deal with it and we can deal with it as well.” The theft has had a devastating affect on the victim, who submitted a victim impact statement to the police this week. “She’s understandably upset by the intrusion and the difficulties that come with these problems,” Sheridan said, explaining that the value of personal ID such as driver’s
licenses and passports is that they are tied to information, such as a birth date, that doesn’t change and thus can be used over and over for illegal acts. “They have significant value when you’re committing frauds,” he said. As to why PMPD conducted the search in Surrey and not that city’s RCMP, Sheridan said police have jurisdiction under the Police Act to follow up on local thefts, even if they occur in another city. He warned that people should realize that thieves come from all over the Lower Mainland to places like beaches, parks and shopping areas looking for purses left in cars so they can commit fraud. It’s a serious issue and no community can protect itself from these thefts unless people make smart decisions to keep their important belongings on their person. “As we discovered in this and our previous files, people come from other jurisdictions — from everywhere — specifically looking to steal your purse or wallet out of your car so they can commit offences,” Sheridan said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

FEEDBACK SOUGHT ON STREETSCAPE UPGRADE INITIATIVE
1541 HAMBER CRT
The City is seeking feedback on proposed development changes that would help upgrade the streetscapes in Coquitlam’s older neighbourhoods.
PRITCHETT PL
From "Development Reserve" to "Large Village Single Family" SOUTHVIEW ST
As redevelopment has ramped up in southwest Coquitlam, this has resulted in a variety of streetscape standards. Proposed changes to the City’s current requirements would require any single-family home built in southwest Coquitlam to either bring the adjacent streetscape to a modern urban standard – for example with curbs, sidewalks and rear lane improvements – or make a cash payment to be used for City-funded streetscape upgrades.

rainbows
Coquitlam council appears to be lukewarm to the idea of a rainbow crosswalk and some councillors’ concerns are similar to those raised in other cities. In Fredericton, N.S., a committee tasked with deliberating the matter raised concerns about cost, confusion for drivers and fears about other groups wanting similar acknowledgements in the city. Still, the Maritime town went ahead with it, with the cost paid by the Pride committee. It seems now more than ever, we need these kinds of symbols to show that our communities are supportive of gay and trans people so Coquitlam’s reticence in adopting the idea is unfortunate. It’s not like the city would be breaking any new ground. Vancouver had Canada’s first rainbow crossing painted in 2013. New Westminster has one, too, and paid about $7,500 for it while Port Moody is mulling the idea. The fact that sometimes these symbols of diversity are vandalized show they are needed despite efforts by cities to become more inclusive.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A RAINBOW CROSSWALK IN COQUITLAM IN SUPPORT OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY?

Go Fresh: $140, GoPro: $637, GoDaddy: $1,191 T here’s nothing quite like pouring through 87,527 credit card charges to the B.C. government’s plastic on a hot summer night. Totalling more than $51.3 million, this past year’s charges will go down as the alphabet pasta of financial reporting. There were charges for $15,677 at BCCAT (BC Council On Admissions and Transfer), $1,628 at CATAP (Canadian Association of Threat DERMOD TRAVIS Assessment Professionals) and $570 at MMCDA (Master Municipal Construction Documents Association). International Trade charged $13,585 at AVEQIA in London, England for hosting a Taste of BC event. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure charged $799 at DPSSKIS-QUIVRSINC. May have something to do with skis, or not. Former premier Christy’s Clark office billed $5,939 at PRMRC, which is either the Private Royal Marines Reserve Commandos or Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort in Cranbrook. I’m putting my money on the latter. NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n

Her office also charged $1,770 at Chloë Angus Design, the former premier’s fashion designer of choice in Vancouver. The bill was likely for the cost of gifts for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their visit last fall. I wonder if Premier John Horgan has a favourite fashion designer? In keeping with its mandate, the Ministry of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction charged $8,567 at Annual Convention. After all, is it really necessary to know whose convention it was or is that just another layer of needless government red tape? Five ministries charged $6,142 at FileMaker, 15 spent $21,353 at Records Management and 18 billed a paltry $138,756 with Shred-It. The premier’s office only appears among the charges at Shred-It. In the skies, Air Canada was the carrier of choice at $4.9 million, followed by Helijet ($1.9 million), Harbour Air ($1.6 million) and WestJet ($1 million). Top three frequent flyers on the whirley birds were Transportation ($190,089), Education ($195,616) and Health ($400,366). In the fast food department, McDonald’s ($20,674) was champ, followed by Dairy Queen ($3,124), Pita Pit ($1,309), Wendy’s ($880), KFC ($417) and Burger King ($161). But the big fav for eating on the go was pizza, with Boston Pizza out in front ($35,820), distantly followed by Domino’s ($9,974) and Panago ($7,084).
Tim Horton’s ($63,581) beat out Starbucks ($21,119) for coffee. Would have thought the Ministry of Natural Gas Development would have opted for gas but instead charged $284 at Candlelight Catering. Various ministries charged $11,270 at DoubleTree by Hilton, Four Points by Sheraton ($12,984) and Four Seasons Hotel ($108,590), $87,310 of which was charged at the Four Seasons in Seoul, South Korea. Health charged $150 at Dieticians Canada and $1,385 at Cakes Etc. Environment charged $140 at Go Fresh, $637 at GoPro and $1,191 at GoDaddy. One savings to the government from removing tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ear bridges will be the $92,194 in charges slapped on government credit cards for crossing the bridges. Four ministries resorted to plastic to pay BC Hydro bills ($2,655). And who knew Ernst and Young took Mastercard? More importantly, who would have thought the Ministry of Finance might not be good for the $3,160 bill? Then again, after the BC Hydro charges, maybe they know something we don’t.

TRASH & THE ENVIRONMENT
RAINBOW CROSSWALK
Getting unwanted items to dump is key problem The Editor, Re. “River cleanup crew decries dumped junk” and “Dumping junk isn’t free – there’s a cost to all of us” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 13). I just read the articles on items being dumped along the Coquitlam River. I agree that paying the cost at the landfill is affordable. I think the biggest problem for most people is getting items there. If a person doesn’t have an SUV or truck and a couple of strong friends, it’s impossible, so they then need to pay to have the items picked up and transported. Living in a condo, we have a garbage bin in the alley and people who don’t live in the building use it. Areas around such large containers are also great places for people to leave all kinds of things they don’t want — barbecues, mattresses, furniture, kitchen cupboards — and the condo
Lots of problems to solve before we paint crosswalks The Editor, Re. “Rainbow crosswalks sought for Coquitlam” (The TriCity News, Sept. 13). A letter to Coquitlam city council: I always thought that our city was run by a very rational, responsible and competent city hall. It has done some great and progressive things over the last decade. Unfortunately, it seems the trend in all levels of government is to see who can out-PC each other. And in doing so, they are neglecting or marginalizing other sectors of our society. Coquitlam suffers and endures many of the socials ills and tragedies that are affecting communities across our nation. We have homelessness, too many families relying on food banks to survive. Children are living in poverty, not being fed, clothed and nurtured — living in conditions and standards that are an embarrassment to a nation that considers itself one of the best

It would be nice if Port Coquitlam had large item pick up days like Coquitlam does. I am sure it would somewhat
reduce illegal dumping by giving people an accessible option. Lori Martin, Port Coquitlam

places in the world. We have an opioid epidemic killing our children. Many of our elderly are living in horrendous conditions, and I could go on. And yet our city is considering spending thousands of dollars to turn our crosswalks into a political statement. I know what you are thinking now: What a homophobic, intolerant guy this is. Nothing could be farther from the truth. That is not how I was raised nor how I am raising my sons. Tolerance and acceptance are an inalienable right in this country. But political correctness is being used as a bludgeon. Does every aspect of our lives have to be used as a political and social platform? Let’s address and solve the detrimental issues that are affecting the health and wellbeing of our citizens first. The colour of our crosswalks are a low priority in the scheme of things.

FALL FESTIVALS
That’s a lot of beer
Estate Planning Seminar.
JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
For the past three months, a very large batch of German beer has sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, cruised the Panama Canal, been unloaded and reloaded in Los Angeles, and shipped to B.C. for Port Moody’s Oktoberfest. Coquitlam residents Fred Ledlin — a former professional hockey player in Germany — and his wife Erika ordered enough Paulaner and HackerPschorr-Brau to serve 15,000 guests expected at the second annual Volksfest, which starts next Friday behind PoMo city hall. “And if we don’t get through it, my wife and I will be drinking a lot of it over the winter,” Ledlin said with a laugh. That likely won’t happen if it’s anything like last year’s inaugural Oktoberfest, which drew some 10,000 visitors over six days. This season’s bash is expected to be an even bigger attraction, with more oompahpah entertainment and traditional Bavarian food — like Munich pork hock roast, bratwurst, schnitzel and pretzels — available. “We are somewhat more established now,” Ledlin said. “Last year, there was a lot of inhouse work. Now, people are approaching us and wanting to be a part of the action so it’s really nice that we’re growing.”

Last year’s premier Volksfest Oktoberfest celebration in Port Moody drew 10,000 people and organizers are hoping for even more at this year’s event, starting next Friday. Ledlin said the first Oktoberfest in Port Moody clinched awards: It was named the best original Oktoberfest in Western Canada and took second place for having the best Oktoberfest in the country, after Kitchener-Waterloo’s event. Ledlin said this year will have more of a push towards raising funds for the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation — a cause important to his family after their daughter, Jessica, was in a car accident in 2015. A portion from the Oktoberfest ticket sales will benefit the hospital foundation. Also new to this year’s Oktoberfest is an early start time on Sept. 22 — with doors open-
ing at 4 p.m. — and extended hours on Sundays (noon to 10 p.m. rather than noon to 6 p.m.). On Sundays, there will also be two traditional shows from the Edelweiss dancers: On Sept. 24 at 2:30 and 4 p.m., and on Oct. 1 at 3:30 and 5 p.m. “We’re hoping to put on a nice event that the families can enjoy,” Ledlin said. • Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, Oktoberfest Port Moody is on Sept. 22, 23, 24, 29 and 30, and Oct. 1 on the tennis courts behind PoMo city hall (100 Newport Dr.).

Van Poorten is a social planner — the city’s first — hired in 2005 to smooth out the rough patches for homeowners and business operators alike. A Prince George native, van Poorten previously worked in the Calgary planning department and later as a social planner in New Westminster before joining the Coquitlam community planning team a dozen years ago. And the job — as defined in welfare economics as a “decision maker who attempts to achieve the best result for all parties involved” — keeps her on her toes. Van Poorten’s days are spent in civic planning meetings and answering emails and phone calls from the public. She and Tasha Henderson, a part-time social planner recruited last year, also attend civic advisory board meetings and collaborate with stakeholders such as the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group. As well, van Poorten meets regularly with other social planners throughout Metro Vancouver. There, she and her
CATHY VAN POORTEN counterparts in other jurisdictions — including Vancouver, Burnaby, New West, Surrey, Richmond and the North Shore — stay current with the latest trends happening around the Lower Mainland. “We have a great feel for what’s going on in our community and for Metro Vancouver,” she told The Tri-City News. “We know what other municipalities are doing and we in Coquitlam can form best practices for our policies from that knowledge.” Van Poorten has a number of documents that guide her work: Among them, the official community plan (OCP); neighbourhood plans; the Housing Affordability Strategy (adopted in December 2015); and the Multiculturalism Strategic Plan (endorsed in July 2011). Housing and homelessness make up about 70% of her workload while the rest of her time is largely taken up with assistance to new Canadians, she said. These days, the relocation of residents along the North Road corridor — including those displaced by the Evergreen Extension buildout — is a key issue. Essentially, van Poorten is doing much of the groundwork as the population swells around the $1.3-billion rapid transit line, which opened last December.
said. “The responsibilities are different depending on the day. Often, we are the first point of contact because we are the government closest to the people. “And I believe it’s a really exciting time in the city because there is so much growth. Coquitlam is becoming more and more urban, and we have to focus on the small steps that we can make.” Next week, van Poorten will make even more connections when the city hosts its annual Welcome to Coquitlam gathering at city hall (3000 Guildford Way). The Sept. 20 event is

PoMo developer seeks public input for new project MARIO BARTEL The Tri-CiTy News
If there’s one thing Damir Dugandzic has learned from his years in the hospitality business, it’s to listen to his customers. Now, the longtime owner of the Burrard Public House on St. Johns Street in Port Moody wants to apply that lesson to a development he’s planning to build on a vacant lot behind the pub that he has owned for 19 years. On Monday, Dugandzic is hosting an open house at the

That’s just how we do things around here.” With Port Moody at the front edge of a transformation to take advantage of opportunities brought by the arrival of the Evergreen Extension and the now quick and easy links

to the rest of Metro Vancouver, Dugandzic said he doesn’t want his project to just be piling on to some of the bigger, more highprofile projects already in the works or being anticipated. “We don’t plan to push the envelope and ask for more,” Dugandzic said. He said he only has some vague notions for what he wants to build and how it will conform to the official community plan — no architectural plans yet, no artist’s renderings. “What Moody Centre merchants need more than anything is foot traffic,” Dugandzic
said, adding. “We won’t know what the building will look like until later this year.” What Dugandzic does know is he wants the project to be his legacy that will continue to affect the community in a positive way long after he’s gone. Asking residents what they want, what the community needs, is the first step to achieve that. “This project will be a landmark,” Dugandzic said. “We want to make sure it’s good quality and that it includes sustainable features.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

KWIKWETLEM FIRST NATION
Kwikwetlem FN hosts forum on dev’t plans Meeting is next Wednesday in Port Coquitlam JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
If you’re one of the dozens of people living close to the Kwikwetlem First Nation land, there’s good news ahead. Almost 20 years of filling at the KFN’s Indian Reserve 2 (IR2) site are coming to an end, after many Port Coquitlam residents complained about the dirt kicked up from the property and landing inside their homes. The dust been especially difficult to control this past summer with the hot, dry weather but KFN spokesperson Paul Lepage said, “We are doing the best we can and we understand the frustration of the neighbours.” All summer, site managers Saskay Land Development (a subsidiary of the band) has had two trucks with water tanks circling the 120 acres 10 hours a day to spray down the dirt, which has been carted in from development areas around the Lower Mainland, including Burke Mountain and from the Evergreen Extension tunnel. On average, the holding company brings in 500 loads per day of pre-approved structural fill, which has allowed it to raise 90 acres (18 m higher on the north side) to prepare the land for future light industrial and commercial operations. No tenants have officially signed on to build or lease the space but Saskay is moving ahead with plans for a 60,000-sq. ft. health and wellness centre that will serve both KFN and TriCity residents. Last month, KFN hosted its first golf tournament to raise funds for the facility. And next week, the
KFN CHIEF RON GIESBRECHT Kwikwetlem are inviting the public to meet at the Gathering Place at Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square Community Arts Village to give an update about its development proposals on IR2. At the Sept. 20 outreach session, KFN council, elders, Lepage and other experts will show a video of the 120 acres — shot by a drone in late August — and provide conceptual drawings. They will also take questions. “We have another 15 years to build this out and we’re not quite sure right now what it’s going to look like,” Chief Ron Giesbrecht told The Tri-City News. “It’s all market-driven.” Key to the development progressing is the servicing agreement with the city of PoCo (KFN also has a land claim against the municipality). Saskay has been checking off its environmental and engineering standards with the federal government and, now, it awaits the city’s approval to tie into its sanitary, sewer and water pipes. In a statement to The TriCity News, Laura Lee Richard, PoCo’s director of development services, said the city has no timeline for when the draft agreement will go before city council for consideration. “The city is currently working with the KFN’s consultants to
determine its servicing requirements in order to develop the terms to be included in a servicing agreement,” she wrote. Chief Giesbrecht, though, is hopeful a deal can be reached before next spring. He wouldn’t say how much has been spent on the project to date — and an email request for comment about the source of funding wasn’t answered by Lepage — but Giesbrecht was eager to point out the possible benefits to Tri-City residents: Besides adding the medical centre, Pitt River Road will be upgraded from the KFN access
point to Riverside secondary school; a lighted intersection will be installed; and a path linking to the Traboulay PoCo Trail will be built. Giesbrecht also talked about the benefits to KFN’s 106 members, 38 of whom live on IR1, on the Coquitlam side, saying several are working for Saskay as managers, first aid personnel and flaggers. Last year, KFN signed a 99-year lease with the federal government for IR2 and its development design will be a reflection of the First Nation. “At the end of the day, we
want to be self-sufficient,” Giesbrecht said. “We are close to doing that.” On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) said KFN operates under the Indian Act and is subject to federal environmental laws and regulations. “INAC is working with Kwikwetlem First Nation to address the proposed development site on its reserve including working through INAC’s Contaminated Sites Management Program,” Stephanie Palma said. “INAC
will supervise the investigation and remediation of this property to allow for development of the site for future commercial/ industrial use.” Following remediation, an environmental impact assessment — as per the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act — will be required for the proposed project, she said. • The Kwikwetlem First Nation public forum is Wednesday, Sept. 20, 6 to 8 p.m. at the Gathering Place (200-2253 Leigh Square Pl.).

A fundraiser this weekend will allow people shopping for fresh bread at Cobs locations in Coquitlam and Port Moody to help fund breakfast programs in Tri-City schools.
FUNDRAISERS
Buy bread and help kids with breakfast You can buy bread and help with a national breakfast program that feeds Tri-City students.
This weekend, Cobs Bread at Sunwood Square in Coquitlam and Suter Brook in Port Moody will be participating in Start Me Up, donating $1 from every loaf of bread sold to the Breakfast Club of Canada to feed 8,100 students in schools across B.C.

WILDLIFE WATCHING IN BC:
What to see in the Fall By Michelle Pentz Glave PROVIDED BY DESTINATION BC
Canada is wildlife central, and British Columbia arguably has the most diverse species on offer, from green herons and grizzly bears to orcas and trumpeter swans. Fall is a wonderful time to watch wildlife because it’s not too hot, the aspens have just started accenting the evergreen forest with yellow and gold, and the air takes on an inviting crispness. Just be sure to keep your distance from wildlife — 30 m (98 ft) minimum, and even further, at least 100 m (328 ft), from predators such as bears. Go wildlife watching early or at dusk when animals are the most active. Here are some of the top spots to see BC’s incredible critters. GRIZZLIES on the Coast of the Great Bear Rainforest Autumn is peak grizzly season on the wild west coast, and fly-in Knight Inlet Lodge is a great place to see them. The Glendale Cove
area has one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears in the province. Situated 80 km (50 mi) north of Campbell River, the conservation-minded lodge focuses on safe viewing in the bears’ natural environment. You might see some of the 50 grizzly and black bears feasting on salmon within a 10-km (6-mi) radius of the floating wilderness resort, which is specially designed for optimal animal observation. You can also go sea kayaking along the pristine rainforest coast, take a marine wildlife tour, and whale watch until mid-October. Pack a zoom lens!
see all five Pacific salmon species, too, on the 1,375-km (850-mi)-long waterway. If you’ve never seen the battered, crimson-hued fish fighting their way upstream, especially when they get to the shallow northern streams at the end, it’s a stirring sight. And of course, the spent carcasses attract hungry bears, eagles, and gulls by the thousands. If you want to learn more, visit one of the hatcheries near Vancouver: Chilliwack River Hatchery, Abbotsford’s Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery (which also has steelhead and cutthroat), or the Capilano Salmon Hatchery in North Vancouver.
SALMON in the Fraser River, near Vancouver The story is iconic: wild salmon begin the arduous journey from the ocean back to where they were born, to spawn at the main stem of the Fraser River each year from late September to early November. It’s one of the planet’s largest salmon runs. You can
BIGHORN SHEEP in Radium Hot Springs, Kootenay National Park You can see bighorn sheep in spring and summer in the Kootenay Rockies at Radium Hot Springs, but the real drama unfolds in fall: rutting season, October into November. That’s when the rams of the 140-strong herd convene
in town and start clashing, literally, for hours at a time in competition to win female attention. The 300-lb (140 kg) bachelors taunt, kick, and then charge each other at 35 kph (22 mph), rising on their hind legs to bash each other’s 30-lb (14-kg) horns with incredible force. The sound? Like a sledgehammer—so loud you can hear the crack a mile away. In early November, there’s a two-day Headbanger Festival with tours and seminars showcasing the annual event. After the show, soak in Canada’s largest natural mineral hot springs. MOOSE in Prince George, Northern BC Moose? You’ll want to head to Prince George, home to the highest density of these hooved giants in North America. In fact, 70% of the province’s moose live in Northern BC. Grown
bulls with impressive sets of velvety antlers stand some 6.5-ft (2-m) tall and might weigh 1,100 lbs (500 kg). Late fall is rutting season when the usually solitary ungulates gather in groups of eight to 10 and lock horns. Listen for the cows’ loud, moaning call designed to lure a mate, and take care because moose can be aggressive at this time of year. Look for moose in clearings and valleys; they prefer open spaces with plenty of shrubs and brush to munch on and marshy areas surrounding lakes, and are easiest to find in the early morning. Try either Highway 97 from Pine Pass to Old Friend Creek or Highway 16 from Prince George to Valemount in the southern Rocky Mountain Trench. Another option is canoeing the Crooked River just north of town or in Bowron Lake Provincial Park.

WWI comes to Port Moody’s museum once again: reenactment tomorrow Scripted event to give a look into soldiers’ lives DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Moments of compassion and aggression that were a solders’ experience during the First World War will be reenacted tomorrow (Saturday) to provide both a history lesson and a cautionary tale. Visitors to the Port Moody Station Museum at 7 p.m. on Sept. 16 will see the historic wooden building turned into a French railway station, with reenactors playing soldiers helping a group of refugees fleeing the war; later, those “soldiers” will simulate a raid on enemy territory in the model trench behind the museum. “It’s a tightly scripted event,” explained Markus Fahrner, museum co-ordinator. “We show you, for an hour, what would have taken place during trench life.” The 50 or so visitors expected to attend the museum’s final 24hour trench reenactment commemorating WWI can expect to see some compassion as well as some hair-raising moments. Fahrner said the First World War uprooted millions of people who fled their homes in advance of the armies. Showing how refugees were hungry and looking for safety will be part of this living museum experience. “The idea is that people understand that thousands and millions got displaced. The war did not happen in a vacuum. People suffered, people were displaced and were pushed out of their homes.” The trench raids were another aspect of a soldier’s life in WWI and though feared

“Soldiers” prepare to go over the top of the trench in a reenactment commemorating the 100th anniversary of the First World War at the McKnight Trench at the Port Moody Station Museum. The third and last in a series of trench reenactments takes place Saturday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m.
THE DETAILS The third and final 24-hour trench reenactment takes place Saturday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. and people are encouraged to park at Rocky Point Park or nearby so as not to block activities in front of the railway station. and hated, were meant to keep the men sharp, aggressive and ready for battle, Fahrner said.
“The historical voices say even the information value of these raids is sometimes question-
able,” he told The Tri-City News, describing how soldiers would leave the safety of their home trench and sneak into an enemy trench, possibly bringing back a prisoner or other intelligence. After the reenactment, members of the public are welcome to talk to the actors, handle the equipment and learn more about WWI. Weapons will be part of the
raid, and Fahrner said it’s a reality that visitors will have to understand. “It’s nasty, there is absolutely nothing nice about it, it’s just a very horrific thing,” he said, adding that the museum has to walk a fine line between depicting violence and glorifying it. The purpose of the program is simply to educate people and, for the most part, it seems to be
working because the visitors ask a lot of questions, remark on specific details and seem eager to know about this important segment of Canadian history. “We are running a very thin line here,” he said. “The message obviously must be it’s about history and we have to remember, so we do not repeat history.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Alliums are such a treat in June and July gardens, adding another fresh look as summer annuals get settled in. There are so many varieties but the yellow Allium moly luteum, the bell-like pink and fragrant A. bulgarium and A. ‘Drumstick’ (A. sphaerocephalum) are my favourite tiny flowered varieties. Allium schubertii and A. christophii are sheer wonders for their intricately woven flower heads that last for weeks. A little showing off is okay and no June garden should be without a few of the big guys like A. giganteum and the even larger A. ‘Globemaster’. They look magnificent blooming among variegated grasses like Miscanthus ‘Variegatus’ and Phalaris ‘Fersey’s Form’. They will also draw the most admiring comments about your garden. I’m very fond of the mini daffodil ‘Golden Bells’ which is about the bulb size of a crocus and produces three to four flowers per bulb. It’s a ‘must have’. Treat these bulbs as perennials and coordinate them well for a display next spring that will only get better year after year.

These are all long-blooming, mid-season varieties. There are also some quite pleasing later varieties. Muscari ‘Plumosum’ is a large, unique blue flowered variety and M. comosum is a lavender coloured wispy variety that is so late it blooms with the alliums. Muscari ‘Valerie Finnis’ is a lovely soft blue that lifts any combination. All muscari need to be planted in groupings for the best effect and they look great underplanted around dwarf forsythia and corylopsis (well-
known as buttercup winter hazel). We love scillas in our gardens simply because they bloom in May when most other bulbs are finished, providing a refreshing lift. The blues are nice but I must admit that the white and pink Scilla campanulatas are fabulous. The pink, in particular, adds a new and important colour to our gardens. They multiply well too and yes, they even have a perfume. So many folks who ask for old-fashioned English bluebells are not quite sure what to request in terms of getting the right bulb. Well, Scilla nutans is the true English bluebell that thrives best in light shade and blooms over a long period of time. One personal favourite is the little bulb puschkinia. These tiny pure white bulbs produce pin-striped blue flowers and are incredibly bright and cheery in March landscapes. They look great with miniature yellow daffodils or dwarf red tulips and they bloom a long while. From a distance, they look like soft blue clumps that add charm to any border or rockery.

BROTHER ACT
Polisi pair power pitch for SFU soccer Coquitlam’s Polisi brothers are together again MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
They’re not twins and they don’t really follow hockey, so any comparison to the Sedin twins pretty much falls flat with Coquitlam’s Polisi brothers, Marcello and Matteo. But the way they’re firing the offence for Simon Fraser University’s men’s soccer team, it’s hard not to evoke the Vancouver Canucks’ superstar siblings. In fact, in their first game together for the Clan, Matteo scored twice and Marcello had another in an 8-0 win over Mary University. Against Cal Poly Pomona last Sunday, Marcello set up Matteo on Simon Fraser’s first goal of a 2-1 win. That’s kind of always the way it’s been for the Polisi brothers since they were little, following in the cleat steps of their older brother, Luigi, who played for provincial teams and had a stint with the UBC Thunderbirds; Marcello, the defensive-minded midfielder, feeding passes to Matteo, an attacking midfielder with a knack for finishing. Only a year apart in age — Marcello is older — the brothers played together through their years of minor soccer in the Metro-Ford system. It’s only when they hit high school their paths diverged. Matteo spent several seasons in the Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Portland Timbers’ residency programs while Marcello helped the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils win a AAA provincial championship in 2015. But with a bond forged by years of working out together, kicking the ball around together in playgrounds and their backyard, and soccer conversations around the

Coquitlam’s Polisi brothers, Marcello on the left and Matteo on the right, warm up before an SFU Clan practice on Wednesday. They’re playing together again for the first extended time since they were 13 years-old. family dinner table, it’s like Marcello and Matteo had never been apart when they reunited in a development league this past summer. “Whenever I get the ball, my first look is to find Matteo,” Marcello said. “I know what types of passes he likes to play,” Matteo said. “I know to find the areas where he likes to kick the ball.” That kind of brotherly instinct made the Polisi brothers a prized catch for SFU coach Clint Schneider, who spent considerable time and energy
wooing them to his program. “When you have good players, lots of teams are interested in them,” Schneider said. Marcello was the first Polisi to ascend Burnaby mountain, but his freshman season was washed out by an injury. So being able to line up alongside his younger brother is like a fresh start. “It was pretty cool,” he said. “We complement each other for sure. It’s just really automatic.” Having his older brother to lead the way has helped

have that culture, there’s endless possibilities.” The primary one this year for the Clan is to achieve the national title that eluded the team last year when they were upset by Cal Poly Pomona in the second round of the NCAA playoffs. With three wins in three starts this season, SFU has already risen up the national rankings from 13th to third. Now that Marcello is healthy again, and feeding passes to his brother, Schneider said the next step is attainable.

“At the end of the day, there’s only so much I can do to prepare a team,” Schneider said. “It’s a player’s game and they decide whether it’s a positive result or a negative result.” For the Polisi brothers, negative is not an option. “You can always count on one another to bring you up and get you going,” Marcello said. • The SFU Clan host Slippery Rock University tonight (Friday), 7 p.m., at Terry Fox Field in Burnaby. mbartel@tricitynews.com

Four Coquitlam players helped Team BC win the gold medal at the U15 national field lacrosse championships in Saskatoon, Sask. recently. Luca Antongiovanni was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, as Team BC went undefeated in the run-up to their 10-8 win over Ontario in the final. But it didn’t come without a couple of heartstopping moments. They included a lastsecond goal by Coquitlam’s Jack Charboneau that gave Team BC an 8-7 win over Alberta in their tournament
opener, and three goals by Antongiovanni in the last five minutes of their round robin game against Ontario to power a 10-8 comeback victory. Both Antongiovanni and Charboneau were also named to the tournament’s All-Star teams. Other locals who returned to Coquitlam with gold medals were Nick Turenne and Carter Clark. The team was coached by Coquitlam’s Ian Radonich and Brad Haddon, as well as Port Coquitlam’s Rich Cambrey. PoCo’s Ray Richards was the manager.
