Sibling harmony at Evergreen CC TRI-CITY PARKS

Big bucks sought for Coq. parks 10-fold increase proposed in park infrastructure $$ GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

A staff report calls for the city of Coquitlam to spend 10 times what it has been shelling out annually on park infrastructure over the next 10 years. Over the last decade, the city has spent $200,000 to $400,000 a year to replace aging non-sport field amenities, including picnic shelters, benches, fencing and other items. In order to keep replace-

ment costs sustainable, staff said $2 million to $4 million will be required annually, along with an additional $1.2 million each year for sport field replacement. “At this moment, it looks like… there is a substantial gap,” said Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, culture and recreation. “The question is how we deal with this gap over time.” Currently, replacement costs for park infrastructure have been allocated on an urgent priority basis, according to the report, funds Allueva said will need to be issued more sustainably. see $ FOR NEXT, page 17

CANADA 150 & COQUITLAM HERITAGE

Totem poles ‘majestic, amazing,’ and badly in need of restoration $30,000 needed to restore historic totem pole DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A retired Coquitlam parks and recreation manager says the Centennial totem pole should be relocated to a place of prominence if council decides to approve $30,000 in restoration funding. Don Cunnings was executive secretary of the city’s first Centennial committee and recalls the pole raising and carving project initiated by the Columbian newspaper to mark Canada’s 100th anniversary. Today, though, the paint on the 50-year-old totem pole is fading, the cedar is cracked and a decorative horn is missing from the head of the thunderbird. A report on maintaining the city’s cultural assets says it would cost $30,000 to refurbish and maintain the pole, a project that could be funded in next year’s city budget to mark Canada’s 150th birthday. Cunnings, who visited the pole with The Tri-City News on Wednesday, said the majestic 25-foot sculpture appears to be hidden behind a number of community facilities. If the city spends money on restoration, Cunnings said, he would like it moved to a better vantage point so the public can see the art work and reflect on First Nations’ contributions to Canadian culture and society. It has already been moved once to its current location, when Dogwood Pavilion was expanded, and a new interpretive sign has been installed but Cunnings said the totem pole, created by three carvers from Alert Bay, could be on Poirier Street instead of behind the tennis court. “To me, it’s of cardinal importance to reflect on our history,” Cunning said. He recalls that in 1967, there was no recognition of First Nations culture and history in Coquitlam, and so the totem pole paid for with community contributions of $1 per square inch was an important milestone. Cunnings said the pole dedication was attended by the

then-chief of the Kwikwetlem First Nation and he said the Kwikwetlem people should be involved in any future restoration and dedication. Linda Baker, the city of Coquitlam’s cultural and community events co-ordinator, agrees that the pole is a magnificent work of art that needs to be preserved. During research on the totem pole, she learned that it was carved by John Edward (Ted) Neel, Lloyd Wadhams and Robert (Bob) Whonnock, and when the artists’ family members were shown the sculpture recently, they were able to identify their ancestors’ work, she said. In all, four poles were carved with funds raised by Columbian readers for the Centennial project, and

though they don’t represent Coast Salish traditions, which had house poles, not totem poles, they were an effort to honour Canadian history with First Nationals art, Baker said. “The totem poles are majestic, they make a statement, they are amazing,” Baker said. She told The Tri-City News the artists’ family and members of the Kwikwetlem First Nation had a chance to get a close look at the pole depicting a thunderbird with a bear on its belly, a raven with a salmon in its beak and an orca with a man on its back, and said it was worth preserving. “It’s a beautiful piece of art and with a bit of money put into it to preserve it, it should last a lot longer.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

which fentanyl was found to be a factor; 79% of the victims were men and 60% of those were between 19 and 39 years old. Fraser Health recorded 100 fentanyl-detected drug overdose deaths (compared to 57 in 2015), the highest in the province. Of those, 37 were in Fraser North. A sample review of toxicological findings for 207 fentanyldetected illicit drug overdose deaths up to September

The breakdown of statistics among health service delivery area shows there were 63 drug overdose deaths in Fraser North so far in 2016, compared to 73 in all of 2015. Fraser South recorded 98 to date, with 110 in Vancouver. The monthly breakdown shows the incidences in Fraser Health are decreasing from a high of 28 deaths in January, followed by similar numbers through the spring, but those dropped to 15 in August and 16 in September, an indication that concerted efforts by various levels of government to stem the tide of overdose deaths may be working. Some of those measures include equipping emergency rooms, health care professionals, first responders, social workers and citizens with naloxone kits. As well, the provincial government is providing funding for equipment and supplies for the RCMP Clandestine Laboratory and Response Team, and has enhanced enforcement activities targeting illicit fentanyl traffickers. The coroner’s report detailing deaths to Aug. 31, 2016 for which fentanyl was detected shows there were 302, a 211% increase over the number of deaths during the same period in 2015, when there were 97. On average, there were almost 38 deaths per month in

The Tri-CiTy News

New information from the BC Coroners Service shows the number of illicit drug deaths in the province so far in 2016 is already more than in all of 2015 — and more than a third of them are in the health region that includes the Tri-Cities. From Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, the number of deaths from illicit drug overdoses in B.C. was 555, compared to 508 for all of last year. Fentanyl remains a significant contributor to the high number of deaths, with 302 cases in which the potent opioid was detected — 61% of all illicit drug deaths. That number is more than triple the number of fentanyl-detected deaths for the same period last year. At 195, Fraser Health Authority, which includes the Tri-Cities, showed the highest number of illicit drug overdose deaths in the first nine months of 2016, or just over 35% of the provincial total. That number is fast approaching the number of deaths for all of 2015 in the region, which was 204. The BC Coroners report lists the number of deaths by the “top townships” of injury. Vancouver recorded 110 while Surrey marked 71. The TriCities were included in “other townships,” in which there were 167 deaths.

showed there was at least one other substance involved 96% of the time. The most common was cocaine, which accounted for 46%. Early data for 2016 shows the proportion of illicit drug overdose deaths with fentanyl detected increased to 61%, compared to 30% last year. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

EARTHQUAKES

Quake early warning systems in works Seafloor sensors being installed, land-based network activated JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

An undersea network of seismic sensors is slowly starting to take shape off the B.C. coast to provide early warning for Lower Mainland residents and authorities just before an earthquake strikes. The first sensor was deployed at a depth of 850 m in Barkley Canyon off Tofino in June by Ocean Networks Canada, a non-profit company founded by the University of Victoria that got $5 million from the B.C. government to develop the network. It’s a three-year project that aims to have a series of sea- and land-based sensors in place by March of 2019, followed by software systems to analyze and determine what type of customized warning the end user should get, depending on their location. “Hopefully in three to five years or so we’ll be able to give you a warning to tell you to get under the table or take some safety measures before the shaking starts, which to us is the holy grail of public safety to be able

Right: A Titan accelerometer is lowered to the sea floor in Barkley Canyon off Tofino to form the first node in a network of earthquake early warning sensors. Left: UBC research engineer Kent Johansen says a land-based detection system is also crucial for the province. to protect people from injuries and potentially save lives,” said Terron Moore, a business analyst at Ocean Networks Canada. Advance warning is possible because the initial energy wave from an earthquake that doesn’t cause damage travels faster and can be detected well ahead of the wave of groundshaking energy. How much warning is possible depends on how far away

a quake’s epicentre is and how close the nearest sensor is positioned to detect it and transmit the alert. Ocean Networks Canada anticipates 60 to 90 seconds of warning can be given to populated areas of southwestern B.C. ahead of a major earthquake centred well off the coast. It’s hoped that in the future, much of the population will

get enough warning from the emerging systems to take cover or even escape risky locations. Automated alerts could go out on radio and TV and through smartphone apps, Moore said. Gas lines could be shut off and critical infrastructure could be protected. Traffic could be kept from tunnels and bridges. Elevators could automatically descend. And trains full of people or haz-

continued from page 8

UBC research engineer Kent Johansen says the Ocean Networks seafloor sensors will give more warning of an offshore quake than the nearest land-based sensors at Jordan River or Campbell River, or even additional sites being deployed at Tofino and Ahousaht. But he said the land-based network is critical to warn of the shallower crustal earthquakes that can strike between Vancouver and Victoria and be severely damaging because of their proximity. He pointed to a 1946 quake near Courtenay and another in 1976 off Salt Spring Island that both caused damage in Vancouver. “They happen more often,” Johansen said, likening that scenario to the 6.3 magnitude earthquake in 2011 that severely damaged Christchurch, New Zealand. “If we get hit by just a sixpointer somewhere in the Strait of Georgia, it’s fatally damaging for Vancouver.” He said land systems could also be nearly as effective as seafloor ones in detecting a massive off-shore mega-quake. Cascadia subduction zone quakes tend to start at one end of the fault off Oregon or Haida Gwaii and rip all the way to the other end, he said. So the UBC team is contemplating extra distant sensor sites in Oregon and on B.C.’s north or central coast that might detect the start of such a quake earlier. B.C. residents dropped under tables and desks Thursday morning during the Great B.C. Shake Out drill on what to do in the event of an earthquake. But to Johansen, such drills underscore the need for more advanced early warning

He imagines bored kids under school desks that get up and start wandering around a minute or two after an early warning alert arrives. “I just feel if it goes on for three minutes, school kids don’t have that kind of patience.” Johansen aims to improve the system to provide real-time updates on whether the initial alert was a false alarm or the quake is still coming. “It might say ‘Earthquake in progress off Tofino. Estimated time to shake 15 seconds. Please remain covered.’” People who know it’s going to be minutes instead of seconds could decide to move somewhere safer, he said, adding he envisions a change someday to the current policy of just staying covered in place as warning systems evolve.

Irvine parents want a new, safe school School is high risk in a quake, they want rebuild soon DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A Port Coquitlam school considered at high risk for structural failure in an earthquake needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible, say a group of parents lobbying to get Irvine elementary on the province’s seismic to-do list. A proposal to rebuild the school at a cost of $16.8 million has been forwarded to the provincial government but the parents fear it will languish for months in the bureaucracy while their children remain at risk. They also wonder why it’s taken so long to get the proposal into the government’s hands when Irvine was assessed as a moderate to high risk of quake damage in 2004 and upgraded to high risk in 2013. “People have known about this and nothing’s been done,” said Tara Tait, one of the parents who has been researching and trying to raise awareness about the school’s seismic issue. The parents say they aren’t trying to pit one school against another for provincial seismic funding and are also appealing for funding for Minnekhada middle to be replaced. Minnekhada has also been deemed high risk for structural failure in an earthquake and is awaiting funding approval for a $30.4-million rebuild. “I believe all schools should be upgraded,” said Diane Sam, whose child is in Grade 5 at Irvine. The parents say the information about the school’s high

quake risk has been kept under wraps and only came to light after their own digging. Alisha Delver, who has one child at the school and another slated for kindergarten next year, said if she had known the building was at high risk of damage in a quake, she would have enrolled her children in the French immersion program at Coquitlam River elementary. “The province keeps saying it has the money, so fund it,” said Delver. In fact, Irvine has been on the government’s seismic list of high-priority schools in its School Seismic Mitigation program since 2012. In 2013, it was on a backgrounder for funding along with Montgomery middle, also deemed a high risk in 2013. A proposal for a $29.3-million rebuild for Monty has also been sent to the provincial government. The parents say they want action as soon as possible even if it means School District 43 puts some of its own money into the rebuild projects. “I think they have to allocate the funds,” Tait said. School board chair Judy Shirra, a PoCo trustee, said she also wants the province to move ahead on funding and says the district will do what it can to keep the project moving. But she didn’t say whether the district has plans to spend its own funds to advance the design or other work, as it did to kickstart construction on Smiling Creek elementary school on Burke Mountain. “If push comes to shove, we’ll look at other ways to find money as a board,” Shirra told The Tri-City News. But she also cautioned parents against “fearmongering,” noting that her children went to Irvine 25 years ago.

Ghost hunters haunting PoMo museum PoMo Station Museum hosts free event Oct. 29

When people think of Halloween, they think of costumes, candies and pumpkins. When the Recycling Council of British Columbia (RCBC) thinks of Halloween, it thinks of the waste this popular day produces. That’s why the non-profit that promotes the principles of a circular economy is now promoting its free BC Recyclepedia smart phone app. According to a press release, “The app is a quick and simple tool that helps users find more than 1,000 drop-off locations and recycling options for more than 70 materials or products across B.C.” Thus, “Whether you’ve got dead batteries, rotting jack-o’lanterns or need to recycle your costume, the Recyclepedia provides the most convenient location for any B.C. community.” Available for iPhones and Android devices, the GPSbased app provides users a list of the 10 nearest depots as well as an optional Google map with directions; as well, it provides the option to call the RCBC recycling hotline if you have questions. In addition to dealing with the waste produced by ghosts and goblins, the app covers materials managed by industry product stewardship groups, including computers, electric toys, electronics, paints and small appliances. The app is available to download from the iTunes App Store or the Android Market. For more information about RCBC and its services, visit rcbc.ca or, follow RCBC on Twitter @recyclingbc. The Recycling Hotline operates on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; call 604-732-9253.

The Tri-CiTy News

Skeptics and believers alike are welcome to find out if the Port Moody Station Museum is haunted at a free public event Saturday, Oct. 29. Leading up to Halloween, the museum is hosting the event to give a group called Northern Paranormal Investigations an opportunity to present its findings from four visits to the 108-year-old building. “We think it will be interesting and fun,” said Brianne Egeto, museum co-ordinator, who said she has no preconceived notions about what to expect from the evening. “Hopefully, a lot of people come and they’ll get to know more about the museum.” On the day The Tri-City News visited, the weather was a perfect backdrop for a ghost sighting. Rain was pouring, skies were dark, trees were blowing in the wind. And as Darryl Pearson, a self-described ghost hunter, was giving a preview of what the audience will learn at next Saturday’s presentation, the museum’s power went out and

Of course, the weather could have been responsible for the power outage and the bang, and Pearson said most of the time, what appears to be hauntings are simply natural phenomenon that can be explained. But on very rare occasions, something unexplainable

happens, he said, especially in buildings with long histories, and his group records these incidents with special equipment. Pearson said he uses a video camera with night vision, sensitive recording equipment and sensors that detect electromagnetic frequencies to detect shadows, fain sounds, unusual light and energy, and temperature changes in a room. He’s not going to give away any secrets in advance of his presentation but said those who attend the event may ar-

OUR OPINION

Who runs our ed.?

chool trustees have very limited authority. Board public meetings are mostly show-and-tell events where they hear about good works going on in schools, with the occasional decision based on staff recommendations. Mostly, they have to make decisions with the limited dollars given to them by the provincial government and if they don’t make those tough choices they risk being fired. So why have them at all? That’s the question now that the provincial government has fired the Vancouver School Board because it did not pass a balanced budget. A few years ago, School District 43 trustees could have been in the same boat when faced with $12 million in budget overruns but decided to cut programs and teachers instead. They have also closed schools and sold school land. But many of the trustees who made those decisions lost their seats in the last school board election. It could be argued they were just doing the province’s bidding and suffered the consequences — convenient scapegoats, like TransLink often is. So who’s really in charged of public education? The provincial government, of course.

PROVINCIAL POLITICS

‘We’re the B.C. government and we approve this message’ AS I SEE IT

DERMOD TRAVIS

ute them, channel surf, hide them all you want but there’s no escaping them. The B.C. government is in the midst of saturating TV shows and social media in the province with a multimillion-dollar back-patting advertising campaign in advance of the 2017 election. The BC Liberal party is getting in on the act as well with mood-setting political ads. Can’t fault them. They did raise the funds one $10,000 cheque at a time. It can be tough to distinguish between the two ad campaigns, though. You almost expect the BC Liberal party’s executive director, Laura Miller, to burst through the front doors of the legislature to tag government ads with: “We’re the BC Liberal party and we approve this message too.” How far does the symbiotic marketing go? Sometimes, the synergy is subtle, sometimes not. Take the 2013 speech from the throne. The word “economy” left the lips of Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon 23 times, followed by “jobs” at 21 — including seven times in one 26-word passage alone — and “tomorrow” six times. Buzz phrases also crept into news releases, including: “the right skills for the right job is integral to maintaining a strong economy.”

It wasn’t always this way. The approach of former premier Gordon Campbell’s administration and that of Premier Christy Clark’s is a study in contrasts. Campbell banned non-essential government advertising in the four months prior to voting day. The December 2008 B.C. Public Affairs Bureau memorandum to ministries read: “Effective, January 12th, 2009 non-essential advertising will cease until May 13th, 2009. Non-essential advertising (included) any promotional or informational activity conducted by a provincial ministry, authority or agency that is not required for statutory, emergency, health and safety or the proper functioning of government.” In the two-week period prior to the writ dropping in April 2009, the government issued nine news releases. What a difference four years makes. In 2013, the government squeezed six fact sheets and 43 news releases into that two-week period. The government announced a $584-million program “to seismically upgrade 45 high-risk schools today, marking a significant milestone in [the] government’s commitment to student safety.”

Clark noted: “Absolutely nothing is more important than keeping our kids safe.” Except electioneering. The government only got around to announcing many of the schools — and the plans — this year. As long as seismic events are aligned with election cycles, everything should be just fine. Out of 17 project-specific announcements, 14 were in BC Liberal-held or swing ridings. Some of the government’s television ads back then were so blatantly partisan that Gerry Nichols — a conservative, independent communications consultant — said they crossed “the line between informational ads and political propaganda.” CBC deemed the government’s budget ads “advocacy advertisements” and refused to run them during news programs. And the BC Liberal government is well on its way to meeting or beating the $16.6 million it spent on advertising leading-up to the 2013 election. In the 2015/’16 fiscal year, spending on advertising more than doubled from nearly $5.7 million the year before to $12.45 million.

GARBAGE

PORT MOODY

Changes to Coq. trash regs were not sufficiently publicized The Editor, Re. “City’s trash rules are established and well known” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 14). I must disagree with the letter writers B. Viney and Leah Comuzzi. Prior to the amendments to the solid waste bylaw, Coquitlam was divided into “identified bear activity areas” and “non-bear activity areas.” If you lived in a non-bear activity area, you were able to put your garbage out no earlier than 9 p.m. the night before and no later than 7 a.m. I consider myself to be fairly community aware and I did not hear about this change until about six weeks after the fact. Well publicized? I think not. Perhaps making the change in the summer, when people

Real feedback is needed on plans for Coronation Park The Editor, Re. “Coronation dev’t makes a lot of sense” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 28). Letter writer Rose McFarlane says that “three quarters of the [Coronation Park single-family home] property owners... are not resistant to selling.” How does she know this? If the city of Port Moody is serious about learning what those homeowners want, it should conduct a secure, anonymous ballot with official government identification required. Only registered property owners should be able to vote and each home should add up to exactly one vote (i.e., if there are two owners and they both vote, each vote counts for 0.5). This

I did see a flyer but how many people toss those the bundle of those in the trash? It is unfair to fine residents $500 for something they may not be aware of. I would prefer the city hand out warnings, send a notice (not bulk mail) or have a grace period in these “non-bear activity areas” so that residents are not unfairly fined for doing what they have always done.

‘MARKETING PLOY’ The Editor, Port Moody’s “feedback” form is a marketing ploy. It asked how I feel about putting the “park” back into Coronation Park. Why doesn’t the city ask how I feel about destroying an established neighbourhood with lovely, large trees and quiet streets? Phil Hanson, Port Moody

EVERGREEN EFFECTS

BQ parking change plan GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Parking changes are coming to Burquitlam ahead of the opening of the Evergreen Extension later this year. Currently, there are no restrictions within 400 m of the new SkyTrain station but the city is looking at implementing some one- to four-hour time limits on many of the streets in the surrounding area. Staff will also be monitoring streets that are further away, including Tyndall and Claremont, to see if restrictions are required. Similar changes will also be seen around Lougheed Station in the neighbourhoods east of North Road. Engineering staff will put up one- to four-hour time limit limits along parts of Rochester Avenue, Westview Street and Whiting Way while parts of Dansey, Cochrane, and Rochester avenues as well as Clayton Street will be monitored for potential future

changes. Last month, the city conducted the first phase of its parking restrictions for the City Centre neighbourhood. Residential streets near Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station — including Westwood, Eastwood and Glen Drive, which currently have no restrictions — will now have one- to four-hour parking and pay parking in some cases. Pay parking will also be introduced on Lincoln and Anson avenues as well as Ponderosa Street. The streets south of Coquitlam Central Station, including Norman Avenue, parts of Dewdney Trunk Road and some adjoining side streets, will be assessed after the Evergreen opening to see if further parking restrictions are required. Staff said they will also be monitoring to see the impact the SkyTrain has on neighbourhoods once the line is operational. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

TRI-CITY PARKS

$ for next decade continued from front page

Staff are currently conducting an inventory of all amenities but initial estimates show that the overall value of all park assets is approximately $110 million, with $40 million in artificial and natural grass fields and $70 million in other infrastructure. A grading system has also been set up to assess the physical condition of each piece. Allueva noted that some of these numbers are preliminary and will likely change as staff refine their work. But he said that the initial analysis found that the $2 million to $4 million will be required over the next decade to replace aging infrastructure and a funding stream should continue beyond that time to cover eventual replacement costs.

“It is very important for us to think about this,” Allueva said, “not just in parks, recreation and culture but the entire city.” Last month, the city announced what it called a “park blitz” initiative, allocating $2.5 million over the next three years for some much-needed playground improvements. Twelve parks were identified for funding, including: Cape Horn, Crestwood, Dawes Hill, Good Neighbour, Guilby, Lower Lougheed, Meadowbrook, Oakdale, Poirier, Ranch and Shiloh. Most of the work consists of playground improvements, upgrades to sports courts, fencing and signage, with the money coming from the city’s infrastructure reserve.

LEGAL MATTERS

COQUITLAM

PCT has to buck up after court case

Save some energy & cash

SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

The B.C. Supreme Court has awarded a former employee of one of Port Moody’s most prominent businesses more than $200,000 in damages for wrongful termination. Hon. Justice Jon Sigurdson found that Kent Smith’s actions while working at Pacific Coast Terminals amounted to an error in judgement but not purposeful misconduct, and that he should be awarded damages for lost income, pension contributions, bonus and car allowance totalling $212,463.92. The judge denied any damages for mental suffering or punitive damages. Smith was fired from his role as PCT’s manager of maintenance and engineering in October 2013 after Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) threatened to issue a stop-work order when it discovered construction work had started on two projects at the Port Moody site without PMV having issued the necessary permits. He was terminated without cause and offered a nearly $400,000 severance package. But when senior staff later accessed Smith’s computer, they discovered new issues, prompting PCT to revoke the severance offer and notify Smith they were investigating him for misconduct. Smith had worked for PCT

since 1997 and was responsible for overseeing construction work, including two projects in 2013 — a wastewater treatment project (valued at $4 million) and a new facility to handle canola oil (valued at $35 million) — for which he was to obtain the necessary PMV permits. Permit application packages for both projects were submitted in July 2013. The following month PCT began preliminary work on the projects without PMV approval. In conversations between Smith and his superiors in August and September that year, PCT alleged Smith had deliberately misled them about whether the preparatory work was allowed but Judge Sigurdson disagreed and found it amounted only to an error in judgement. “While I have concluded that [Smith] did not actively lie or misrepresent the situation, he made an error in judgement and was overly confident in his assessment… that he felt that as the Port was aware of the start date for work there was no problem with proceeding,” Sigurdson wrote in his decision. Issues that arose following Smith’s termination in October 2013 surfaced in a search of his computer files. PCT found Smith had participated in a salary review for a fellow PCT employee with whom he was romantically involved and was involved in her other employment matters, includ-

ing assisting her in negotiating a severance buyout. They also discovered Smith had allegedly divulged a confidential board decision to a third party, and that he had stored pornography on the company’s server contrary to its IT policy. PCT had argued that while the individual incidents may not have been grounds for termination, the cumulative effect showed a character that did not meet the standards for continued employment. But Judge Sigurdson stated that because he remained unconvinced that Smith had intentionally misled PCT about the permitting issue, the subsequent issues were of themselves not enough to warrant termination with cause. “Although there is conduct that the defendant has demonstrated that is not acceptable, I find that objectively the proven conduct in the circumstances of this employment relationship falls short of justifying summary termination,” Sigurdson wrote in his decision. Sigurdson determined that Smith was in a conflict of interest in not disclosing his relationship with a fellow employee in 2006

when he participated in her salary review. He also found Smith made a mistake in sharing a confidential board decision with a third party but, given the public knowledge that PCT was pursuing the potash business, it was not a deliberately dishonest act. That Smith had stored pornography on PCT’s server was also not itself cause for termination, the company acknowledged. Smith had testified he had long since forgotten about the material — it was circulated as email attachments about a decade earlier, during a time when the corporate culture was markedly different, and was in a personal folder that Smith had not accessed since then — but as

a senior manager Smith should not have tolerated its sharing among employees, Sigurdson stated. Reached on Thursday, PCT’s Leslie replied by email that the decision showed Smith acted “in a number of ways contrary to his duties to PCT and allowed his personal interests to interfere with his obligations to the company.” “We believe that Mr. Smith’s actions did not represent or follow the standards expected from employees of our company.” Leslie said PCT stands by its decision and is “considering our legal options.”

CRIME

IIO investigate death Man arrested after allegedly breaking into a Coq. home The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is investigating after a man died shortly after he was arrested in Coquitlam on Wednesday. According to a press release from the IIO, at about 11 p.m. Oct. 19, Coquitlam RCMP received several calls about an agitated man trying to break into homes in the 1500-block of Balmoral Drive. One caller

described a man confronting a homeowner with a large stick. Police received additional calls about someone breaking into a home, according to a release from the BC RCMP E Division. Coquitlam RCMP attended the home and found a severely injured and bleeding suspect inside with possible life-threatening injuries. After efforts were made to calm the man down, officers used a “conducted energy weapon,” which appeared to have no effect and a physical confrontation ensued. He was taken into

custody but went into medical distress soon after. Paramedics on the scene performed CPR and he was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead shortly before midnight. IIO, which investigates all incidences of serious injury or death involving a police officer, will investigate to determine whether there is any connection between the man’s death and the officers’ actions. Any witnesses are asked to call the IIO at 1-855-446-8477. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

METRO VAN TRANSPORTATION

Massey Bridge to bidding stage, three groups in running JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

B.C.’s transportation ministry is advancing to the requestfor-proposal stage with three groups that will bid to build the planned $3.5-billion new bridge and Highway 99 upgrades to replace the Massey Tunnel. The three groups of companies in the running are: • Gateway Mobility Solutions, which includes ACS Infrastructure Canada and Aecon Concessions, along with Dragados and Flatiron Constructors as design-build contractors. • Lower Mainland Contractors, which includes Kiewit Canada, Macquarie and VINCI Concessions. • Pacific Skyway Partners, which includes Fluor Canada, John Laing Investment and SNC-Lavalin Capital.

The winning bidder, to be chosen by next summer, is to raise $750 million to partly finance the project, as well as design, build and operate it. The new 10-lane toll bridge is being designed to last 125 years and meet modern earthquake standards, which the Massey Tunnel does not. The 10 lanes will consist of four for general travel and one transit/HOV lane in each direction. The project also includes the widening of 24 kilometres of Highway 99 to provide transit/ HOV lanes from Bridgeport Road to Highway 91, replacement of three interchanges at Westminster Highway, Steveston Highway and Highway 17A, decommissioning of the tunnel, and construction of multi-use pathways for cyclists and pedestrians on either side of the new bridge. The new bridge is supposed to open in 2022. The Metro Vancouver regional district has opposed the project as it stands, arguing the bridge’s 10 lanes is excessive and will cause undesired impacts on growth, steer more

Speak up! Comment on stories on The Tri-City News’ Facebook page people into cars instead of public transit, and ultimately increase congestion. While the new bridge is to be tolled, Metro mayors are exploring options for road pricing in the region. Transportation Minister Todd Stone has said a tolled Massey Bridge would force some sort of toll reform if the Alex Fraser was left as the only free crossing of the Fraser River in Metro, but it’s so far unclear what solution the province favours. The B.C. government originally tried to build the Port Mann/Highway 1 project as a full public-private partnership but cancelled the finance component in 2009 in the midst of the financial crisis and borrowed directly to get the new bridge built.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Our digital footprint: How big is it, really? LIVING GREEN

MELISSA CHAUN

ast fall, The Guardian published an article headlined “Can the digital revolution be environmentally sustainable?” Although we take this digital world for granted, when compared with the evolution of printing or manufacturing, this industry is still in its infancy. This becomes evident when one begins to investigate the ethical and environmental impacts of going digital. Although the servers, infrastructure and devices used in delivery directly affect the natural world, energy use is ultimately driven by people interacting with digital products. According to Ethical Consumer’s 2013 online article, “Guide to greener mobile phone companies,” much of the carbon footprint associated with many e-devices is buried in the manufacturing chain. Greenpeace International’s 18th version of its Guide to Greener Electronics ranked 16 electronics companies, including seven mobile phone makers, based on their commitment and progress in three environmental areas: energy and climate, greener products and sustainable operations. The criteria of the guide, which you can find online, reflect Greenpeace’s demands of electronics companies to: reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; eliminate using hazardous substances and unsustain-

(See some of the rankings in blue box, above.) There are other lists out there, incorporating additional categories and considerations but it may be helpful to know that manufacturing an ordinary mobile phone is estimated to cause 16 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions, nearly the same as 1 kg of beef. Add the power it consumes over two years (average phone use length) and that number rises to 22 kg. But the footprint of the energy used to transmit your calls across the network is about three times all of this, resulting in 94 kg CO2 equivalent over the lifetime of a phone. Apple publishes environmental impact reports for its smartphones. The carbon footprint for the manufacture and use (excluding the transmission of calls) is 55 kg CO2e for the iPhone 4s, 60 kg for the 5C and 70 kg for the 5s.

GET WISE

Some tips for becoming a wiser consumer:

• Landlines use only a third of the power to transmit a call versus when both callers are on a mobile. (Cell towers also can be susceptible to inclement weather, with the network becoming quickly overwhelmed

“Creating safe communities means protecting the environment and the people.” – Dion Arnouse, Emergency Management Consultant, Kinder Morgan Canada

Trans Mountain’s emergency management team has connected with over 100 Aboriginal communities along the BC-Alberta pipeline route. We assess each community’s capacity to respond to a civil emergency, then provide support to upgrade emergency response skills accordingly. The primary objective is to ensure an organized response to a spill. However, as the chances of a spill are low, local residents who are trained well with a safety mindset are equally prepared to respond to a more likely natural event, such as a fire, flood or ice storm. Putting safety first is our number one priority.

•

There is a constant focus on community safety, emergency preparedness and environmental protection.

•

Emergency preparedness training benefits include skills in dealing with all hazards, including fires, floods and extreme storms.

•

To date, 40 Aboriginal communities located along the pipeline and marine corridor in British Columbia and Alberta have signed Mutual Benefit Agreements.

•

For both Trans Mountain and Aboriginal training, we conduct exercises and drills year-round in all seasons and conditions – on land, water, even on ice – throughout the entire system.

•

We have connected with more than 100 Aboriginal communities along the entire pipeline route.

•

There are 15 equipment caches along the pipeline and over $3 million will be invested in new emergency response equipment.

Mahogany at Mill Lake Fuses Urban and Rural Living W

hen Sandy’s husband Bob Blue retired, both felt their 4,500-square-foot home was way too big for the two of them. They decided to give condominium living a chance. “We sold our house three years ago and bought a condo in a low-rise,” says Sandy Blue. “We found we really enjoy condo living.” However, when the couple heard about Mahogany at Mill Lake in Abbotsford, they knew they wanted to live there. “We loved that it was located by Mill Lake and that we would have amazing views,” she adds. Soon after, they purchased a twobedroom residence on the 16th floor. “We are so excited … our entire suite has floor-to-ceiling windows and we have

incredible views of Mount Baker,” she says. “Mill Lake is a jewel right in the city. Not only are we next to a large lake, we are surrounded by protected green space.” Blue’s comments are echoed over and over again by buyers, says Karen Gallant, sales manager at Mahogany at Mill Lake. “With prices starting from $284,900, Mahogany is selling extremely well,” says Gallant. “We have already sold nearly 75 per cent of the suites. What buyers tell us is they love the views and the amenities we offer.” Quantum Properties’ Mahogany at Mill Lake is a sleek, contemporary 26-storey concrete high rise offering a collection of 152 condominiums, ranging from 620 to 1,535 square feet. (Threelevel penthouses boast more than 2,800

square feet.) “We are going to have three floors of commercial space. It will include a bistro, great to meet up with friends over coffee or pick up a quick dinner-to-go,” says Gallant. With views of Mill Lake to the North East and Mount Baker to the South East, each residence delivers pano-ramas. With floorto-ceiling windows and generous decks and terraces, residents can enjoy their coffee while taking in the vistas. Each home will feature nine-foot ceilings, Canadian-made engineered hardwood flooring, natural gas fireplaces, KitchenAid appliance package and quartz or granite countertops. “Fourth-floor homes will have large terrace decks with built-in barbecues, planters and fireplaces,” says Gallant.

Residents will also enjoy private amenities, including an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness studio with changing rooms and showers, two guest suites and a club room with full kitchen. In addition, for the handyman, there will be a workshop in the parkade. In an effort to be as sustainable as possible, Mahogany is equipped with geothermal heating and cooling, energy efficient windows, LED lighting and other environmentally friendly features. Mahogany offers plenty of conveniences, including transit, schools, great shops and restaurants, all within easy walking or driving distance. “You can walk to both Sevenoaks Shopping Centre and West Oak Mall,” Gallant adds. Quantum Properties is a locally owned and family-run company with more than 15 years of building quality condominium projects. Mahogany at Mill Lake Presentation Centre, 2180 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford, is open every day (except Fridays), from noon to 5pm. For more information, call 778-255-9990 or visit www.

Beautiful narcissus thrives in cooler conditions IN THE GARDEN

BRIAN MINTER

’ve always been rather fond of narcissus. I’ll never forget the afternoon I spent in Holland at a breeder’s field that was blooming with over 1500 narcissus varieties. It was an unbelievable opportunity to observe some old friends and to meet some new ones. It was also a chance to see how each variety handled cool, rainy and windy weather. With very little time, I was almost running through the field, notating varieties with outstanding colour, vigour and form, then comparing them to the old standbys I’ve known for so many years. Trying to meet and remember so many new faces in a few short hours is a very frustrating experience but I did learn quite a few valuable lessons. Although narcissus will grow almost anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, they prefer cooler rooting conditions and love a sandy, well-drained soil. One of the first things I did in the field was dig down into the soil to feel its texture. It was

reclaimed sea land which had become a well-drained sandy loam. The narcissus roots were long, vigorous and extremely healthy. It’s under these conditions that they perennialize and multiply so well. There was no question that the very large flowered varieties (and some of them were absolutely gigantic) were very showy but the wind and rain had taken their toll on them. Not only were these big guys shorter lived but they and many of the double ones, were also laying over. The mid-sized double and single varieties stood up very well and created, perhaps, the most colourful effect but as I expected the smaller sized varieties were the most prolific and outlasted everything else. It occurred to me that within the eleven generally recognized families or divisions of narcissus, there are three basic types that gardeners should use in three different locations. The narcissus varieties bred

Scotiabank and United Way are helping kids, families and seniors in our community. Join us. Give generously. uwlm.ca

for their extra large or unusual blossoms make wonderful additions to our gardens but they should be used as just that – as novelties. Varieties, like ‘Galactic Star’ with its soft yellow petals and almost white trumpet; ‘Tahiti’, an orange centred yellow; and the white and orange ‘Charisma’, are real garden beauties but they need a location where they have some protection from wind and rain. Plant them beside a windbreak or if possible, under an evergreen or other garden feature, like a birdbath, where they will find shelter. There are a number of exquisite novelties, like these, that deserve a special location in your garden. Some are more weather tolerant than others but most will require

a little more care and shelter. Also, as a rule of thumb, they do not bloom as prolifically nor do they naturalize as well as mainstream narcissus. The real frontline garden performers are the medium-sized and multi-flowered narcissus varieties. There are dozens and dozens of varieties that, with a little care, multiply and bloom year after year and stand up well under wet and windy spring conditions. The ‘cyclamineus’ varieties, like ‘February Gold’ and my favourite, ‘Tete-a-Tete’, are among the toughest and most weather tolerant. ‘Small cupped’ varieties, like ‘Barrett Browning’, are very prolific. The ‘poeticus’ variety of narcissus is one of the last to flower each

spring and ‘Poeticus recurvus’ (Pheasant’s Eye), with its white petals and yellow, red-rimmed cup, is the largest. Little narcissus that are cute as a button and sometimes just as small, are the ones that multiply well and last the longest. They too need a special location. From the tiniest little species, Narcissus bulbocodium and the amazing bunch-flowering ‘Golden Bells’ to the tiny but vigorous ‘jonquillas’, like ‘Minnow’ and ‘Quail’, there are many varieties of small narcissus that add pure charm to any garden. These varieties need to be placed in rock gardens or among compact azaleas and rhododendrons where they can be enjoyed as a contrast to the other

small plants around them. Give them a little pocket somewhere in a well-drained sandy spot and they will delight you for years. An unknown jewel and one of the earliest narcissus to bloom is ‘Rijnveld’s Early Sensation’. It blooms in late winter, about three weeks before anything else, when that early colour is so precious. A great innovation has been a packaged collection of six varieties of yellow narcissus branded as ‘Yellow Brick Road”. This collection is blended to start blooming very early and continues to bloom very late for a continuous show of colour from six weeks to two months — a brilliant idea. And remember, they are deer resistant.

FIELD LACROSSE

PoCo’s Stroup selected for Team Canada trip to worlds PoCo Saint alum chosen from list of 127 players

ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO

Neither team was able to muster a goal when the Tri-City Eagles took on the Vancouver Meralomas during a Vancouver Women’s Field Hockey Association matchup on Saturday at Coquitlam Town Centre Park. With the tie game, the Eagles are 2-0-2 on the season, which is good for second place in the champions division.

Port Coquitlam’s Danita Stroup got past the latest round of cuts to Team Canada’s senior women’s field lacrosse squad during a training camp tournament last weekend in Baltimore. According to the club, 25 players were selected following the Team USA Fall Classic and will continue to train with the team ahead of the 2017 FIL Women’s Lacrosse World Cup in Surrey next summer. This is not Stroup’s first time performing in an international event. In 2015 the Northwestern University player donned the red and white during the under-19 World Championship in Edinburgh, Scotland, where they won gold. She played her minor lacrosse with the Port Coquitlam Saints and was selected by Long Island University to play in the NCAA. Close to 130 players applied for the team and the list was whittled down to 41 before last weekend’s tournament, which saw Canada go winless in a series of exhibition games. The squad fell 13-10 to Australia, 7-6 to England and 20-5 to the hosting Team USA squad. However, head coach Scott Teeter said last weekend’s

DANITA STROUP tournament was not about racking up wins. “Our overall record does not show what we were taking out of this weekend,” he said. “My staff and I were able further evaluate of all 40 players, which provided us with some great insight as we continued through the process of selecting our final roster.” Stroup will be in familiar company. Nine players on the roster were part of the under-19 squad that won gold and all of the athletes chosen have represented Team Canada before. The selection process has taken place over the last year and program director Gary Gait said the club is happy with the players they have picked. “The entire staff has worked tirelessly to select the 25 best players that will help us compete on the world stage,” he said. “This talented and athletic group of athletes will help us compete for gold.”

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs coaching staff, which led the team to a Minto Cup championship last summer, have added another honour to the trophy case. Pat Coyle, Kyle Sorensen and Creighton Reid received the John Cavallin Merit Award from the B.C. Lacrosse Association, an honour recognizing the coach of the year. The award was given out last

weekend during the BCLA’s banquet in Whistler. This is not the first time the coaching trio has been honoured. In July the three received the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League’s Doug Hazelwood Memorial Trophy for coach of the year, after the Jr. Adanacs wrapped a perfect 21-0 season. The club went on to lose in the BCJALL finals to Delta but won the Minto Cup tournament a few weeks later — the first for the club since 2010. Coyle, Sorensen and Creighton were not the only people recognized by the

BCLA last weekend. Josh Wahl of the Port Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse Association and Team BC received the Bill McBain Minor Box Coaching Merit Award for minor coaching, while Rita Stroup, also from PoCo minor, was given the Hugh Gifford Merit Award for manager of the year in field lacrosse. BCLA President’s Awards went to Jamie McMurray of the Port Moody Minor Lacrosse Association, Paul Enkelmann of the Port Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse Association and Sandy Pace of the Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse Association.

MINOR SOCCER

TNT notch second win of the season on the road Club comes back after being down 2-0 in first half

Coquitlam Metro-Ford TNT battled back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Vancouver Phoenix 3-2 during an under18 girls soccer road game at Trillium Field in Vancouver

last weekend. After letting the home team get an early jump, Coquitlam’s Cristina Danieli got her club on the scoreboard when she moved the ball up the field past a succession of opposing midfielders and buried the ball to make it 2-1. A few minutes later Juliana Bosa capitalized on a pass up the field from Nicole Chursinoff to

tie the game before the end of the first half. After the intermission, the TNT found the go ahead goal when Chursinoff passed the ball to Risako Kazemi, who kicked it up to Cooper Miller who managed to score. With the win, Coquitlam is now 2-0-2 in the standings. sports@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
