More beds needed for youths who are addicted

Local kids are at risk, says Sowden DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Teens in the Tri-Cities and throughout B.C. are at risk of sexual exploitation, lifelong trauma and even death without more services such as long-term recovery beds for drug-addicted youths and laws that allow young people to be placed in care for their safety. Diane Sowden, the executive director of the Children of the Street Society, said her group often deals with parents whose children are struggling

with addiction and related problems. But she said there is little her workers can do to support these families because programs and policies that could help aren’t available. “It’s just incredible,” Sowden said, “the costs of not doing anything.” Her concerns come as the NDP and the BC Liberals argue about the number of youth addiction beds that are available in Fraser Health in response to an epidemic of overdose deaths, including that of Coquitlam teen Gwyn Staddon in a Port Moody Starbucks washroom in August. see SOWDEN ALSO, page 4

TRI-CITY WILDLIFE

Bears, crows, coyotes: They’re in your neighbourhood (and PoCo’s museum) New natural history exhibit focus is understanding

THE EXHIBIT

The 2016 Carol Hubbard Memorial Natural History Exhibit taking place at PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives, 150-2248 McAllister Ave., Port Coquitlam is called (un)Natural Selection: Adapting to an Urban Environment and is available for public viewing until the end of December.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Bears walking through yards to grab an apple. Crows picking at garbage. Coyotes lurking near schools. Raccoons digging up lawns for grubs. Suburban dwellers often forget these animals are simply acting on the instinct to feed themselves and think of them only as nuisances. But instead of being in conflict with urban wildlife, why not think of these animals as neighbours, creatures to respect and deal with in a humane way, says Steve Smith of the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society. One way to learn about these animals and their relationship to people living in the Tri-Cities is by visiting the society’s newest natural history exhibit at the PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives. “We don’t want to come across as preachy,” Smith said, “but we are trying to reinforce things that people are already doing but could maybe do better.” With its tongue-in-cheek reference to Charles Darwin, the exhibit (un)Natural Selection: Adapting to an Urban Environment is an enjoyable way to learn about animals in our midst. There are hands-on

DRUGS & YOUTH

Sowden also pushes for secure care legislation continued from front page

The NDP released government records obtained through a freedom of information request showing a 25% drop in youth substance use beds between 2013 and March of this year. The decrease was worst in Fraser, where the number of available youth addiction beds fell more than 50% over the same period, from 22 to 10 beds. NDP mental health critic Sue Hammell said the province should have realized overdose deaths were climbing in those years and taken swifter action rather than waiting until the eve of the next provincial election to try to deliver on a 2013 campaign promise to add 500 addiction beds by 2017. “They knew the numbers were increasing — that’s why they promised an increased number of beds,” Hammell said. As of the end of August, 488 B.C. residents had died from fatal illicit drug overdoses and the death toll could top 700 by the end of the year. But Lake said Fraser lost 11 beds because a youth substance use facility in Keremeos jointly used by Fraser and Vancouver

“It’s not a jail sentence, it should be what meets your needs.” Diane Sowden of Children of the Street Soc. on secure care for addicted youth Coastal Health had to be closed due to issues with the operator. Those 22 beds will come back on stream when the Keremeos facility reopens in 2017, he said, along with other planned increases, including a new 10-bed youth stabiliza-

tion unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Lake said by the end of 2017, B.C. will have 102 mental health beds and 195 substance use beds for young people up to age 25. By the end of 2017, Fraser Health will have 42 substance use beds for young people, he said, up from 22 in 2012. Meanwhile, Sowden, who is watching the issue closely, said she is pleased that more substance use beds will soon be made available for young people but she said the length of stay is typically only six weeks, when a much longer period is needed to stabilize teens struggling with addiction. Sowden, who is a Coquitlam school trustee, also supports a call by B.C.’s representative for children and youth for for secure care legislation and services so youth who refuse to seek help for addiction can be placed in a special facility that will address their needs. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond made the recommendation for secure care for youth earlier this year but Sowden said it has been discussed since 1998, when she was part of a secure care working group. In the intervening years, other juris-

dictions have adopted the laws, and though opposed by the BC Civil Liberties Association, she believes they could be a valuable tool to keep kids safe if properly managed so the kids’ rights are safeguarded. “It has to be consistent and there have to be safeguards,” she said. “It’s not a jail sentence, it should be what meets your needs,” said Sowden, who said she gets calls from parents whose children who are being sexually exploited by pimps and have drug addiction as the underlying problem. These parents are powerless to do anything and fear for their children, Sowden said, but a secure care law could have youth before a judge within 72 hours, and a decision made by independent experts. Recent statistics suggests there is no slowing in the number of overdose deaths. In the Fraser region, there have been 172 drug overdose deaths as of the end of August. Across B.C., there have been six overdose deaths so far this year of victims aged 10 to 18, and another 121 aged 19 to 29.

Art event will help program to protect kids DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City high school students are among the beneficiaries of an outreach project that uses art as a vehicle for selfexpression and social justice. And on Oct. 13, the community is invited to support the Youth Art Engagement Project at a special art event called Canvas for Change at the Roundhouse Community Centre in Vancouver. Diane Sowden, executive director of the Coquitlambased Children of the Street Society, said the gala event raises funds for art supplies and resources for a program that deals with topics such as drug abuse, sexual exploitation and gangs, and how young people can keep themselves and their peers safe. The nine-week program also invites youths to get creative on a social justice topic; it could be a skit, miniplay, visual art piece or written project. Submissions are presented in an exhibit at the end of the school year at Winslow Centre in Coquitlam and participants also get a souvenir workbook. “Depending on funding, we’re able to bring together anywhere from 35 to 50 youth,” said Sowden, who is also a Coquitlam school trustee. “These are the youth who are at the highest risks.” Canvas for Change includes a 45-minute art challenge by professional artists, music and an auction as well as food and beverages. Tickets are $35 early bird (plus fees), $40 regular price and can be bought online at www.childrenofthestreet.com.

UBCM CONVENTION: REAL ESTATE

‘Backwards’ tax system, zoning hurt affordability U.S. cities better at giving locals advantage over foreign buyers JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

B.C.’s crisis of high real estate prices is largely self-inflicted, according to a leading housing expert who on Tuesday urged cities and the province to embark on major reforms to deter rich foreign buyers and support local workers. “We’re the victims of overseas capital markets, but we’re inviting it,” UBC associate economics professor Tom Davidoff told delegates at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) convention in Victoria. “We have a big ‘Kick Me’ sign on our back.” Davidoff argued that city councils are too easily swayed by homeowners, particularly in affluent neighbourhoods, who oppose what he calls reasonable density in the form of townhouses that would provide much more housing supply. The result is too much land locked up in single-family zoning and those houses steadily being redeveloped into luxury mansions that are far beyond what’s affordable to typical working residents. He said current zoning that overwhelmingly allows only detached houses on most land in the Lower Mainland effectively means “you are banning by law 95% of the Canadian population from most of the good land around Vancouver.” Tax policy is also a big factor, and Davidoff contrasted B.C.’s “backwards” approach with U.S. jurisdictions. U.S. cities with high real estate prices charge much higher property taxes than Metro Vancouver cities, he said. And Americans can deduct their mortgage interest and property taxes from their income and reduce their income tax. The effect, Davidoff said, is those Americans are further ahead every year by roughly 1.5% of their property value

compared to a foreign investor who has no deductions against U.S. income. “We don’t do that. We don’t provide the local workforce with a tax advantage relative to people who don’t make income here,” Davidoff said. “The tax system invites international demand because we barely tax property and we whack income.

“You are hurting land owners economically, you’re killing the work force and you’re rewarding rich people who bring in bags of money from outside.” Helmut Pastrick, chief economist of Central 1 Credit Union and another housing market panelist at UBCM, said he expects a “mild price correction” as the housing market continues to reverberate from the 15% foreign buyers tax now in effect in Metro Vancouver. But he predicts the new tax will prove to be a “distraction” as a long-term up-trend in prices resumes. “I predict that over the next 25 years, housing prices will more than double,” Pastrick told delegates, to gasps. “Over the long term, housing affordability will worsen.” The accelerating trend in the years ahead will be higher density, smaller units and more

people renting than owning as prices rise further, he said. The federal government is worried about the hot Vancouver and Toronto markets and could try to cool them through further restrictions, such as higher down payment requirements on insured mortgages, he said. But prices will continue to be driven by a lack of supply, and factors such as the limited land base in the Lower Mainland, and the projected 1.25 million additional people forecast to come to B.C. by 2041. “The fundamentals are not going to change,” Pastrick said. “You can have this 15% buyer tax and I predict prices will continue to rise after we get through this market disruption. Maybe it needs to be 100%.”

HOUSING MEETING TUES. Affordable housing will be the topic next Tuesday when two of the Tri-Cities’ NDP MLAs will join Vancouver Point Grey MLA David Eby for a town hall meeting. The Oct. 4 event will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship, 1160 Lansdowne Dr., Coquitlam. There will be speakers and a chance to ask questions about what can be done to fix the housing crisis. The event is hosted by Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson and Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Jodie Wickens.

UBCM CONVENTION: UBER

Cities split: Uber vs. reformed taxis JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

Municipal delegates grappled with whether to support existing taxi companies and their efforts to modernize or allow ride-matching juggernaut Uber in a forum on the issue at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Tuesday. The debate pitched those who fear the transportation app will destroy taxi industry jobs and suck away profits versus those who argued its technology better serves passengers who too often are left without usable on-demand transportation. Maple Ridge Coun. Gordy Robson, a former taxi company businessman himself, said taxi firms don’t care how effectively local residents are served. “In our community, we’re being held hostage,” he said, adding people can’t get a cab late at night or early in the morning. “They don’t come out. Under the Uber system, it does,” Robson said. “It’s affecting our restaurants, it’s affecting our bars and it’s putting our kids at risk. And for God’s sake, somebody should do something.” Robson spoke after Saanich Coun. Fred Haynes argued

A more detailed version of story is available at www.tricitynews.com there’s little difference in the degree of risk to the community between under-regulated Uber drivers and unregulated dental or medical practitioners. “I don’t think there should be ride sharing until we fully understand those risks,” said Haynes, who portrayed Uber as the bringer of a Bladerunnerlike dystopic future. Langley Township Coun. Angie Quaale took issue with that and said her community is “begging” for change. “I’m not sure when this conversation changed to be referring to Uber and ride sharing as disruptive technology, instead of innovative technology,” she said. Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs said he doubts municipalities that want to defend existing taxi service can simply draw a line in the sand and keep Uber out indefinitely, adding the best option is to encourage the existing taxi industry to innovate. He said he remains concerned about the ride-matching app’s use of surge pricing that gives users no consistency

in what they pay for a ride and whether Uber drivers will accommodate disabled passengers. While the province just released findings from an initial round of consultation on potential ride-sharing reform, Meggs said it has so far left a “policy vacuum” and given little sign of how it intends to proceed. The forum also heard from two taxi industry representatives, who touted efforts to roll out an e-cab app that allows passengers to book from their phones. They also highlighted concerns under the Uber model, including if insurance is adequate and whether drivers are vetted for safety (there have been allegations of sex assaults involving Uber drivers). Michael van Hemmen, Uber Canada’s public policy manager, said after one recent “unfortunate” incident in Toronto the company knew precisely which driver was involved because customer and driver are matched by the technology.

TRI-CITY CRIME

Arrests made Thurs. at ‘problem’ house Several people were taken into custody after a high-risk arrest Thursday morning in Port Coquitlam. Coquitlam RCMP and members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) entered a home in the 1500-block of Grant Street, ordering residents in the area just south of Prairie Avenue to stay in their homes.

At least four people who were in the home at the time were taken into custody without incident, said Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson. “It’s a problem residence,” he added, saying the occupants are known to police. But Phillipson noted it was too early to say what charges any of them might be facing.

He was also unable to disclose what brought officers to the home, saying it was “sensitive information” and part of an ongoing investigation. Coquitlam RCMP officers remained on scene Thursday conducting a search of the home.

PORT COQUITLAM

One festival under budget in PoCo in 2016 & one over Two Port Coquitlam community festivals that drew tens of thousands of people had different bottom lines, final reports to a city committee show. The May Day and Canada Day task forces will reveal their actual numbers to the healthy community committee next Wednesday, showing the 2016 May Day festival cost taxpayers nearly $10,000 less than budgeted compared with the July 1 event, which went

over budget by $7,300. The 93rd annual May Day, held April 29 to May 8, cost $48,700 for the parade, Royal Party activities, community events and city staff time but the city expenses were offset by a $14,500 Heritage Canada grant. The festival drew some 17,000 people over 10 days. The Canada Day celebrations, by comparison, attracted about 9,000 people to Castle Park for a day that concluded

with a fireworks show. But despite getting $21,000 from the federal government as well as corporate sponsorship, the costs came in at $56,300 for the pyrotechnics, stage and sound services, activities and entertainment, rentals and city staff on statutory pay. Going over budget by $7,300 “was anticipated and is consistent with the trend over the past 10 years and is covered by redistribution of funds within

the overall community and civic events budget,” wrote PoCo program co-ordinator Sandra Battle, in her Sept. 27 report to the committee. Still, Battle noted the Canada Day task force was pleased with the organization and turnout, and is already working on the 2017 event to mark the country’s 150th birthday.

OUR OPINION

Fishy, but good

ort Moody-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly is raising an important issue with Bill C-228, which would require the west coast aquaculture industry to move to closed-containment systems instead of open net-cages in the ocean. A switch to closed containment makes sense because it would protect B.C.’s endangered wild stocks by ensuring farmed salmon don’t escape to compete for scarce food or spread sea lice, which is a problem for Atlantic species that make up the bulk of farmed salmon. The industry is resistant because switching to landbased systems would be more costly and the transition could put some smaller companies out of business, endangering jobs in coastal B.C. communities. Instead, the industry is moving towards adopting more sustainable practices but those might not be enough to protect wild salmon given the growth predicted for aquaculture. Donnelly’s bill offers a transition period, and with support from government and buy-in from consumers, B.C.’s salmon farming industry could set an example for smart, sustainable farming practices that could be a model for the world.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? VOTE AT tricitynews.com/opinion/poll

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Would you pay more for farmed salmon raised in a closedcontainment system, posing fewer risks to wild salmon?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you believe the provincial government does enough to fund Metro Vancouver transportation?

RESULTS: YES 27% / NO 73% THAT’S SHOWBIZ

ollywood is setting up in Surrey. It must have missed the turn to the Tri-Cities. Hollywood decision makers have for years been keen on film production in Metro Vancouver, which has had its fair share of TV and film productions, including TV’s The Flash and Supergirl, and feature films such as Deadpool and Star Trek Beyond. Due to the low loonie, generous provincial tax credits, a strong local talent pool and diverse infrastructure, there are indications that Hollywood’s relationship with Vancouver will continue to grow throughout the coming years. In fact, film permit issuance has increased by 30% from the same period last year. Skydance Media — the U.S. film company that brought us Mission Impossible, produced in Vancouver — will soon open a studio in Surrey to start work on several high-profile productions, including one for Netflix. Last year was record-breaking in Vancouver’s TV and movie production: More than 350 productions were filmed there, bringing revenue of $2 billion into the province, including $143 million in wages for city residents and more than $710,000 in municipal government revenue.

That is surely enough jobs and economic opportunity to attract the attention of any local government. For years, business consultants in the field of innovation and economic growth have peppered their bestsellers with recommendations that governments play a vital role in entrepreneurship. Governments ought to seek opportunities for job creation and growth of industry through investment in the private sector and creating. Tri-City councils should consider what the city of Surrey did with Skydance Media. Seeking opportunities not yet realized, it can invest in game-changing investments in the film industry that stimulate the local economy and create networks of knowledge and innovation. It is when leaders in business, government and non-profit collaborate across sectors to work for a common goal that such networks are formed and where opportunities emerge. The city of Port Moody, for instance, is poised for such opportunities, especially in the arts. Suter Brook and Newport villages are prime locations for the social centre of a knowledge network in film production. Consisting of apartment buildings, banks, gyms, shops, grocery stores, eateries and cafés, both locations provide the bones of

such a network. Further, office space is available and the opening of the Evergreen Extension of the SkyTrain line to make the commute to Vancouver a cinch. I took a trip to Suter Brook recently to meet with John Mather from Red Castle Films — a Vancouver based film company specializing in independent feature films, commercials and music videos whose clients include Netflix and Universal Music — and he confirmed the opportunity for attracting production companies to the Tri-Cities, with a few government incentives, would nudge them to choose our backyard over downtown offices. Such incentives might include reduced rent for the first year or investing in a single studio that could cater to the needs of a wide range of companies. Said Mather: “To set up production, questions need to be addressed surrounding the configuration of space, power requirements for studio-level lighting and some other technical issues, but overall, relocating... is definitely worth exploring.” If municipal governments play their cards right, we could soon be cutting the ribbon right here in the TriCities on a new industry that would push this City of the Arts and its neighbours to a whole new level.

ROAD SAFETY

COQUITLAM

On Gatensbury, blood will surely flow, but on to whose hands? The Editor, Re. “Speed bumps and an uneven playing field” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 23). One of too few cycle routes in the Tri-Cities area, Gatensbury Street from Port Moody to Foster Avenue is clearly and frequently marked 30 km/h MAXIMUM. Very few, if any, drivers, however, do less than 50 km/h. While cycling recently, we spoke with Speed Watch volunteers set up on the route. They told us most cars cruise by at 50 km/h or more at least to Como Lake, then some ease up on the throttle to perhaps 40 or 45 km/h. We regularly walk around Como Lake. During evening rush hour especially, cars fly through at full speed heading north. We’ve pointed this out to municipal officials but they

responded that because it’s a secondary thoroughfare, traffic calming is not allowed. We pointed out several similar situations, such as 116th Avenue and Millar Road in Surrey, which is traffic calmed even though the fire department uses it as a main route to the Surrey docks, yet Gatensbury remains a tragedy waiting to happen. Twice this past year, we’ve witnessed near fatalities at Smith. Each happened to be an older woman with a toddler in a stroller. Blood will surely be on someone’s hands if cars do not slow down and it will be no accident as folks are free to drive stupidly and carelessly at whatever reckless speed they choose when there are no speed bumps.

KEEP CURLING IN COQ.

Pickleball was just one of dozens of competitions that were part of last week’s Coquitlam 55+ BC Games.

The Editor, Re. “Curling club to make case to stay at Poirier” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 9). Special Olympics is an athletic program for people with intellectual disabilities. For the past 25 years, I have been with Special Olympics Coquitlam as volunteer and coach of different sports. I am currently head coach of the curling program. On Saturday mornings from October to March, the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex curling facility is an

important venue for our athletes to meet, learn and play a game. Curling is a cold sport but to see the smile on their face warms the heart of anyone. It would be wrong to take away the Coquitlam curling venue from our athletes. I do not think keeping this venue will be a burden to the city of Coquitlam but will benefit many Coquitlam curlers. Open your heart for these athletes and keep curling in Coquitlam. Arcel Girard, Coquitlam

MOODY TRAIL IS FINE

The Editor, Re. “2 views on a PoMo trail” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 23). I read with interest — and disbelief — the complaints about the walking trail in Port Moody’s Inlet Park. We moved to beautiful Port Moody in 1986 and have enjoyed the trail since it opened. Since then, both of us have aged — wrinkles, bumps and all the problems of aging. So has the trail.

As taxpayers, we are quite happy with how PoMo council has spent our money on various projects — upkeep costs money, same as us. If someone doesn’t like how we spend our taxpayer dollars, then do the same thing you would do if you didn’t like the music or TV you’re experiencing: Change it, walk in the area you like. Mind you, the views and ambience may be different. Rod Archibald, Port Moody

TERRY FOX RUN AT TERRY FOX SCHOOL

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Students, staff and teachers at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary laced up their runners early Thursday for the annual run in honour of their school’s namesake. The 1,600 students ran or walked around the northside PoCo neighbourhood after collecting $700 that morning through the Toonies for Terry drive. So far, the school has raised $4,500 this month for the Terry Fox Foundation — nearly halfway to its goal, said leadership teacher Dean Whitson. The school run was organized by PE teacher Laura Menard. The Terry Fox School Run in September is a fundraiser that yields about 60% of the annual revenues for the foundation. Above: Teacher Rich Chambers with Cassandra Gill, the top girls’ finisher in the run, and Bryan Cortes.

VANDALISM

Graffiti conference next month in Coquitlam Concerns that Evergreen will bring more graffiti JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

A national conference on how to combat graffiti will be hosted in Coquitlam next month. And a top cop known for his work on geographic profiling will be among the speakers. Kim Rossmo, a former detective inspector with the Vancouver Police Department and now the criminology chair at Texas State University, will talk about graffiti vandals at the The Anti-Graffiti Symposium (TAGS) that runs Oct. 24 and 25 at the Executive Plaza Hotel. Delegates at TAGS will also hear from other law enforcement officials from across Canada and the U.K., a pros-

Nicole Cairns, Coquitlam’s community police office manager, who is organizing the symposium with her Port

Coquitlam counterpart, Jodie McNeice, on behalf of the BC Lower Mainland Graffiti Task Force, said the conference is open to the public. She said the gathering is especially relevant this year for the Tri-Cities as the rapid transit Evergreen Extension is due to open before Christmas. “We know that SkyTrain has the potential to bring graffiti so we would encourage small business owners and homeowners to come out to learn about co-ordinated efforts,” she said, adding, “Our focus is on prevention and outreach.” McNeice said taggers aren’t just teenagers: Adults in their 20s and 30s who have gained a reputation over the years continue to deface buildings with crude images and words that are often misspelled. Status is a big part of it, she said. And the higher their tag is on a building — or the more difficult a location — the more

credibility they think they will gain within their community. “The bottom line is they have put their tag on somewhere they haven’t,” McNeice said. “It’s somebody’s building and somebody has to take responsibility to clean it up.” “Some of them have artistic talent but they don’t have permission,” she said. McNeice said the costs to the property owner can be in the thousands of dollars — per incident. In the Lower Mainland, police partner with some retailers to provide dis-

counts to purchase paint and other removal products. As well, officers talk to students about the repercussions of tagging and how graffiti can sometimes lead to other, more serious crimes, she said. TAGS was last held in Metro Vancouver in 2008. Last year, more than 125 people attended the symposium in Ottawa. • For tickets to the Coquitlam TAGS, visit tagsconference.com. Sponsors are also needed for the national event.

SCARY STORY CONTEST

Don’t be a fiend, just write a story that spooks judges

Fiend, scythe & apparition are key words

Teens are invited to channel their scariest thoughts into short works of literature for the annual Scary Story Contest this fall — just in time for Halloween. To join the contest — which is a partnership between Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and The Tri-City News — Tri-Cities youths aged 11 to 18 years must write a terrifying tale and send it to the scary story email account. A panel of gruesome judges will award first-, second- and third-place prizes to the three best entries in each age category (11 to 14 and 15 to 18) and some of the winning stories will

be featured in The Tri-City News before Halloween. Rules for the contest are as follows: • Each entry must be no longer than 500 words. • Writers must live or go to school in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore or Belcarra. • Writers who submit entries must be no younger than 11 and no older than 18 on the deadline date of Oct. 19. • Writers must include the following three words in their stories: apparition, scythe and fiend. (Stories that do not include all three words will be disqualified. If you do not know what they mean, look them up in a dictionary.) • Each writer must include his or her name, age, phone number and city of residence when they submit an entry. Writers:

If your city of residence is outside the Tri-Cities, please include the name of the Tri-Cities school that you attend. • Writers must email their entries — either as a Word attachment or in the body of the message — to scarystorycontest2016@ gmail.com no later than Wednesday, Oct. 19. Winners in each category will be given Coquitlam Centre gift cards worth $50 (first), $30 (second) and $20 (third). Some winning entries will also be published in The Tri-City News at the end of October. Full contest details are on the Coquitlam Public Library and Port Moody Public Library websites. If you have questions about the Scary Story Contest, email librarian Chris Miller at cmiller@coqlibrary.ca or call 604-554-7339. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Get creative at Culture Days and sip a brew or two at Oktoberfest SARAH PAYNE

The Tri-CiTy News

This weekend promises plenty of ways to get into Culture Days and the local arts scene, and offers the best combination of fall and beer: Oktoberfest. Cheers!

Friday, Sept. 30 GOOD ART HUNTING

Celebrate Culture Days by playing detective and sniffing out Port Moody’s public art locations. Just register (www.portmoody. ca/culturedays), grab a map, walk around the city to locate PoMo’s 40-plus pieces of public art and enter to win a prize. For more chances to win dress up in costume, take a selfie with an art piece and tweet it with #pomoscavenger and @PoMoCulture tags.

RISE ‘N’ SHINE

The Evergreen Cultural Centre presents an original theatre production in celebration of Coquitlam’s 125th birthday. Coquitlam Rises! boasts local young performers in a cross-cultural production, featuring singing, dancing and even martial arts to tell the story of Coquitlam’s history. Performances run Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 at www. evergreenculturalcentre.ca or 604-927-6555.

THEY WALK AMONG US

Writers, that is. And you can hear from them directly at Writers in our Midst #5 at PoMo’s Gallery Bistro for creative inspiration.

ituated in Golden Ears Provincial Park, Golden Ears towers above other mountains in the Tri-Cities area. To attain the summit requires a major effort, even for experienced and fit hikers, but the 360-degree panoramic views make it worth it. To complete the whole hike in a day will probably mean starting or finishing in the dark, necessitating the use of that head lamp you always carry in your pack. To make the hike easier, it can be split into multiple days, with good camping options at Alder Flats and Panorama Ridge. Panorama Ridge itself makes a worthwhile objective, cutting three hours off the total

The view from the summit of Golden Ears, which “requires a major effort, even for experienced and fit hikers,” writes Steve Chapman. For a map of today’s route, check out this story at tricitynews.com. hike and avoiding the tricky scrambling to the summit. From the West Canyon parking lot, take the West Canyon Trail north. The trail is easy and wide to start, and although it does narrow and undulate further on, the going is generally quite easy. After 4.5 km, you will come to a significant junction. The right branch is a new connecting trail to the East Canyon Trail. Take the left branch that heads to Alder Flats and on to Golden Ears. The going continues to be fairly easy to Alder Flats, where there are spots for camping and a pit toilet. The trail to Golden Ears heads up from Alder Flats. The next section is where the bulk of the climbing happens, and is steep and unrelenting. The trail starts off on an old logging road and becomes increasingly steep, with numerous

switchbacks and short rocky/ rooty sections to scramble up and down. The route follows a ridge spur before joining the north end of Panorama Ridge at a small col (a dead end trail spur heads north from here). As the trail heads south along Panorama Ridge, the views open up, revealing a magnificent landscape of mountain peaks and lakes. Eventually, you will arrive at the emergency shelter high on the ridge. For many, this will be as far as they come as the views are still great, and the most difficult part of the climb still lies ahead. This is also a good place to camp for those wanting to split the trip into two shorter days. The route to the summit is less well marked from here. Earlier in the season, an axe and microspikes may be needed to safely negotiate the snow patches. The route follows the left skyline

as seen from the hut, passing through several rock bands (easy scrambling required) on the way to the summit. Expect the return trip from the hut to the summit to take two to three hours despite the relatively short distance. The views are breathtaking, looking right down on to Pitt Lake and Burke Mountain. On the way back down to the hut, you must be careful to follow the route you came up, as there are several false trails that lead onto dangerous ground. The way back to the parking lot is the way you came. Expect the knees to take a pounding.

Don’t move streams – it only causes problems GREEN SCENE

ELAINE GOLDS

ast Sunday, stream stewards all over B.C. celebrated World Rivers Day. Rivers Day was first celebrated in B.C. 36 years ago and has now spread to more than 60 countries. Rivers Day remains especially significant in B.C., where we have many volunteers actively engaged in raising salmon and protecting local streams. In the Tri-Cities, we are fortunate to have several urban streams with their own groups of volunteers dedicated to keeping pollution out of their streams, enhancing the riparian forests that protect them and undertaking other initiatives to sustain the salmon in them. One of this region’s lesser known urban streams is Maple Creek, which runs through Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam on the west side of the Coquitlam River. It empties into the Coquitlam River slightly upstream from the mouth of Hoy Creek. In many places, such as

BRUCE BRANDHORST

What could be more delightful than a small stream flowing gently through your yard? along Kingsway Avenue, Maple Creek flows in an artificially straight channel, which, sadly, resembles a drainage ditch more than a living stream. Despite such impacts from inappropriate urban development done decades ago, Maple Creek has a passionate group of volunteers who have worked tremendously hard to enhance this stream over the past quarter century. And they were aghast this summer to learn the Fisheries and Oceans Canada had approved a proposal to move a tributary of Maple Creek to

make room for a house proposed that would be well over 10,000 sq. ft. Moving streams out of the way to make room for development is never a wise thing to do. Furthermore, such an action would have not been allowed before the Stephen Harper Conservative government eliminated protection of fish habitat from the federal Fisheries Act in 2012. To the grave disappointment of stream stewards, the Justin Trudeau Liberal government has, to date, failed to restore fish habitat protection. Decades ago, fish habitat was

The ms Zaandam (1460 passengers) does an 18 day sailing on April 26th. I recommend an ocean-view stateroom which goes for $2899 CAD pp including taxes and a $75pp onboard credit. On October 1st, the larger, predominantly balcony ship, the ms Eurodam (which I just got off in Europe and looks fabulous after it’s significant upgrade) does a 16 night sailing. $3949 CAD pp gets you a mid-category balcony stateroom, a $175pp onboard credit and taxes. Both sailings go to Honolulu, Lahaina, Hilo and Kona. The Zaandam comes back via Seattle and Victoria (ask about disembarking there if you want) and the Eurodam also visits Kauai. DAVE FRINTON

also not protected, so streams were commonly redirected, ostensibly to make room for new development. But streams are not so easily shifted from their course. Some of the water in a stream flows beneath the surface. It’s always a mistake to move a stream because the portion flowing beneath the surface tends to keep its original course. People who move streams to make way for houses often end up with very wet basements, especially after heavy rainfalls. There can be other problems with moving streams. Back in

1958, both Hyde and Smiling creeks, which drain the western and southern slopes of Burke Mountain, were perceived to be “in the way” of development as they flowed across the more gentle terrain of Port Coquitlam towards the Pitt River. As a consequence, both were redirected to a channel dug eastwards to discharge into DeBoville Slough. Partington Creek (once called Yule Creek), which flows from the eastern slopes of Burke Mountain, once discharged directly to the Pitt River near the present day mouth of DeBoville Slough. To gain more farmland, Partington was redirected westwards along the north side of Cedar Drive to also discharge into the upper end of DeBoville Slough. The result? There have been problems with these creeks ever since. After diversion, Partington Creek was forced to make a sharp right turn at Cedar Drive. At this turn, gravel tends to accumulate in the stream bed and, as a consequence, the creek is prone to overflowing its banks here. The gravel that builds up at this turn needs to be regularly removed to keep the creek flowing around this bend — and it’s a shame to have to remove so much good spawning gravel from the creek simply to prevent flooding. Ever since it was diverted, engineers from the

city of Coquitlam have faced costly challenges to “manage” its flows. Surely, it would have been far more prudent to let Partington Creek follow its natural course to the Pitt. The situation with Hyde Creek is almost worse. Right where the hatchery and educational facilities have been built, the creek strangely goes dry every summer. It turns out that this is exactly the spot where the creek was redirected from its original course. Presumably, the subsurface flow is still following its original course. Dealing with a dry creek bed every summer has created many problems for the Hyde Creek Watershed Society as it requires water in which to rear juvenile coho all summer. I hope city council and staff in Port Coquitlam are wiser these days and will prohibit the proposed moving of the spring-fed tributary of Maple Creek, which is full of juvenile coho and wild cutthroat trout. The other residents in this neighbourhood are doing a lovely job of caring for this beautiful little stream. It would be a travesty to destroy it and replace it with a monster house.

“I go on board to make sure the tanker conforms with international safety guidelines.” – Captain Robert Scott, Loading Master, Kinder Morgan Canada

Tankers calling at Trans Mountain’s loading dock must comply with internationally accepted oil-handling safety protocols and best practices. If the expansion is approved, enhanced measures will make sure that risks to our waterways from Trans Mountain tanker trafﬁc will remain extremely low. We have been committed to safety for over 60 years – and we intend to keep it that way.

•

Tankers calling at Westridge Marine Terminal are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards.

•

All vessels must go through rigid pre-screening and physical inspection.

•

Only double hulled tankers are allowed.

•

Two expert local pilots are on board loaded tankers to Victoria. In future, pilots will disembark at Race Rocks, extending the piloted distance.

•

An expanded tug escort regime will cover the entire tanker route – from Burnaby past the North Shore, through the Strait of Georgia and the Juan de Fuca Strait.

•

Transport Canada’s certiﬁed marine-based spill response organization, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC), is on call 24/7.

•

More than $150 million will be invested in WCMRC to create new response bases, fund new equipment and employ 100 new people. This will double the spill response capabilities and cut mandated response times in half.

•

To support the ‘polluter pay principle’ enshrined in Canada’s spill response regime, there is a $1.4 billion industry fund available for response cost and compensation in the unlikely event of a marine spill.

New Home Sales in Metro Vancouver Predicted to Break Records in 2016: Expert

he trend for new home sales in Metro Vancouver is looking like it will be a record-breaking year, despite a slower August than last year, according to real estate marketing firm Fifth Avenue. Speaking to REW.ca editor Joannah Connolly on the Real Estate Therapist show on Roundhouse Radio 98.3FM September 10, Scott Brown, president of Fifth Avenue, said that between 18,000 and 20,000 new homes are expected to be sold across the whole year, outstripping even the 10-year high of 2015’s 17,000-plus sales. The real estate marketing company’s second-quarter report says that 12,968 new multi-family homes were sold in Metro Vancouver from January 1 to June 30, 2016 – “possibly the greatest half year total ever,” according to the August 31-released analysis.

This first-half total represents more multi-family sales volume than the full-year figures posted from 2010 to 2012, which were in themselves considered “healthy” years, said Brown. Brown added that early figures suggest that July’s new home sales were “reasonably strong” and then there was a cooler August, which he described as a “hangover” from the introduction of the foreign buyer tax August 2. “The hangover is now lifting,” he told the Real Estate Therapist show. “We think that this August will be more like August of 2014, rather than last August, which was a really hot August with no seasonality. “We’re expecting that demand will lift again and absorption will rocket through the fall. We’re already starting to see it at the sites that we monitor. Some sites didn’t even see a

quieter August, so it varies neighbourhood by neighbourhood.” He added, “We won’t be talking about the tax through October and November. What we will be talking about is that prices now have stabilized. The price gains we have seen will be sustained but we won’t continue to see those incredible price increases. Buyers will realize that they don’t have to buy immediately, but that they do need to buy, because the supply of new housing is still so constrained and standing inventory of new homes is at all-time lows.” Brown pointed out that most of the media coverage of real estate is focused on resale figures, and that it lacks the balance of additional statistics on new home sales. “I’ve been involved in the real estate industry for the best part of three decades, and there’s is no other industry where you

would rate the success or health of the industry based on the sales level of a used product,” Brown pointed out. “Yes, homes trade, and it’s an important indicator of market growth and conditions. But last year, there were 17,000 new, neverowned homes sold, and the majority of those were never reported about in the media, and the vast majority of them never appear on the MLS… And we need to be looking at that segment of the market and saying the new home market is extremely healthy, and why is nobody looking at that?” To listen to the full discussion, go to roundhouseradio.com, and click on “Ways to Listen” and “Listen on Demand” then use the drop-down menu.

GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Falcons are still looking for their first win of the season after falling to the NLFA Kodiaks, who posted a 30-7 victory over the home team during a game at Town Centre Park last Saturday.

B.C. HOCKEY LEAGUE

Express look for bounce back

Two game losing skid puts team in fourth in division GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Express are looking to halt a two-game losing skid when the team takes on the Victoria Grizzlies at the

Q Centre Friday (tonight). It’s been a rough week for the Express, who dropped two road games in the interior and now find themselves in fourth place in the Mainland Division standings, behind the 2-2 Langley Rivermen and ahead of the 1-5 Prince George Spruce Kings. Things began to go awry for Coquitlam during the second period of last week’s road game

against West Kelowna when, tied 1-1, the visitors surrendered four unanswered goals. Express forward Cameron Bertsch eventually managed to halt the scoring onslaught with a goal of his own but the team was in too big of a hole to dig out of. Luca Leone’s goal in the third period brought the game to within two but when the final buzzer sounded Coquitlam was down 5-3.

The lack of scoring continued into Saturday’s game against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs during another road game. The Bulldogs pounced first with a goal by Alex Macdonald, the lone marker until Jake Witkowski made it 2-0 for the home team. Coquitlam’s Alex Ambrosio potted one with a few minutes left in the third but it was not

enough to spark a comeback and the final score was 2-1. The Express will play Victoria tonight at 7 p.m. before moving on to the Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo for a bout against the Clippers on Saturday. Coquitlam will finish the island swing with a rematch against Alberni Valley Sunday afternoon. For more information and a season schedule go to www.coquitlamexpress.ca.

Badminton brothers pick up B.C. honour Nestor & Paxton Lin named B.C.’s best in badminton The Lin brothers have been recognized as British Columbia’s best badminton players for their individual age groups. Fourteen-year-old Nestor Lin, a Grade 9 student at Pinetree secondary, took home

the Badminton BC Best of British Columbia award in the junior male under-15 category, while his younger brother Paxton, 12, won the honour in the under-13 category. Both brothers are highly ranked in the provincial standings. Paxton is currently No. 1 in B.C. in the under-12 boys singles, where he has amassed 2,790 points in five tournaments, while in boys doubles

he and his partner Jacob Cao lead the field with 3,203 in five tournaments. The younger Lin is also in the lead in under-12 mixed doubles with partner Emily Zhu. Meanwhile, Nestor is ranked third in the boys under-14 singles after racking up 2,728 pionts in the five tournaments the Pinetree secondary student competed in.

Keito Lee scored two goals to help the Port Moody Panthers defeat the Delta Ice Hawks 4-3 during a road game Tuesday night. Lee kicked things off for the Cats 14 minutes into the first period, when he buried a pass from Daniel Szpakowski to put his team up 1-0. Trey Cadwell scored for Port Moody 20 seconds later and Lee rounded out the first-period scoring with a second marker, again assisted by Szpakowski. In the second, Maximilian Corazza potted the Panthers’ fourth goal of the game and the visiting squad appeared to be in control of the game. However, Delta was able to get on the board with a goal from Jordan Bogress and quickly brought the game to within two when Mark Trotman scored a few minutes later. A third Delta goal from Trotman in the final period put Port Moody on edge during the last few minutes of the game but the Cats were able to shore up their defence and come away with the victory. Earlier in the week the team announced that Mischa Polzin would be coming aboard as an assistant coach. He is currently a coach the peewee juvenile hockey director with the Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association and was head coach of the midget A1 squad last season. The Port Moody Panthers were scheduled to play another road game Thursday night (after The Tri-City News’ deadline) and will be back at the Port Moody Arena on Saturday for a meeting with North Vancouver. Puck drop is at 7:45 p.m. For more information go to www.portmoodypanthers.com.

The Centennial Centaurs took down Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat secondary in the opening game of the AAA high school football regular season last week. The Coquitlam squad, which went 1-1 in exhibition, doubled Mouat 26-13, during a game in front of their hometown fans. Centennial will head to West Kelowna for a game tonight (Friday) against the 1-0 Mt. Boucherie secondary team. Meanwhile, the Terry Fox Ravens appeared to have shaken off some of their preseason rust. The club took down St. Thomas More 37-20 at the Burnaby Lakes field notching the first win of the year for the Port Coquitlam club. Fox struggled during its two exhibition games, falling 42-21 against Lynden secondary during a trip to the U.S. before dropping a 22-21 decision against Vancouver College at Percy Perry Stadium. The team will be back on home field tonight (Friday) for a game against Mouat. Kick off is at 7 p.m.
