Cities’ bear ed., tix have effect Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Dennis Marchant earned the break he’s taking on a hammock at Mundy Park as he — and his running shoes — recover from finishing the Moab 240, an ultra-marathon in Utah earlier in October. Marchant placed 35th, covering the 243-mile distance in 86 hours, 58 minutes and 50 seconds. He wore the same pair of shoes through the whole event. For more on Marchant’s feat, see story in Sports, page 22.

The bear aware message appears to be getting across in the Tri-Cities, although not without some residents being hit in the wallet.

For several years, the cities have required residents to wait until the morning of their collection day before putting out their garbage and green waste containers to make sure they’re stored out of the reach of bears, and to have secure locks on them. There have been constant campaigns to remind residents of their responsibilities and to raise awareness, and to back that up, there has been enforcement by the municipalities.

It seems to have worked.

Coquitlam is on pace for a dramatic drop in the number of warnings and tickets issued for putting out garbage bins too early. By Sept. 25, Coquitlam had handed out 131 tickets and 2,555 warning; in 2017, the city issued 450 tickets and 4,914 warnings, which was triple 2016, when 1,651 warnings were handed along with 316 tickets. see ‘HUGE IMPROVEMENT’, page 3

OUR DRINKING WATER

Coquitlam water plant upgrades include change to cleaning process Sodium hypochlorite new step in water processing Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

A $4.3-million upgrade to the Coquitlam water plant ensures clean drinking water for the region and protects workers, say staff and managers responsible for the plant.

The recently completed project took two years and replaced the older chlorination system that required special handling with a new sodium hypochlorite feeder system that is much easier to use.

Sodium hypochlorite is basically household bleach; at higher concentrations, it will prevent bacteria regrowth in the water that serves a third of the region, including Coquitlam.

“North America-wide, they’re going for the sodium hypochlorite systems,” said Andrew de Boer, division manager for water treatment for Metro Vancouver, who said the project is the latest in a long line of upgrades going back to 2000.

“The older system was a lot more finicky to deal with,” said Tanya Richie, one of five water treatment operators.

“Safety wise, sodium hypochlorite is easier to deal with [than chlorine] with spills,” she

Left: Tanya Ritchie, water treatment operator, checks out the equipment in the new sodium hypochlorite system that was installed to replace the older chlorination disinfection system, a two-year project at the Coquitlam water plant that cost $4.3 million. Right: Andrew de Boer, division manager of water treatment for Metro Vancouver added as she checked out the various monitoring systems that ensure the multi-stage disinfection system is operating properly.

The Coquitlam reservoir has supplied drinking water since the late 1890s; BC Hydro owns and operates the Coquitlam dam but Metro Vancouver has an agreement with Hydro for drinking water supply.

Last week, The Tri-City News visited the plant to check out the new operations and main-

tenance centre, the high-tech ultraviolet light disinfection system, and the new tanks and feeder system for the sodium hypochlorite disinfection operation.

The feeder station is locked away in a cinderblock building and four large, new storage tanks holding 350,000 litres each of sodium hypochlorite are housed in an adjoining building.

The place is quiet and smells a little like a swimming pool.

No water can be seen during

the tour but it is monitored as it runs through the system, all 370 million litres a year of it, first entering the ozone plant, the primary disinfection system a kilometre away, then through the UV system, where ultraviolet lamps de-activate remaining micro-organisms, then it continues through a large pipe where sodium hypochlorite mixed with water is injected back into the flow via feeders that suck out some water, mix it with the chemical, and pump it back in.

Richie said her job is to stay on top of any changes in the equipment and monitor the various treatment processes, a job she enjoys because it’s close to home and nature — with the burbling Coquitlam River nearby — while also giving her a feeling of accomplishment knowing so many homes and businesses are benefitting from clean water that is treated to the highest standards.

“We are known for our water,” Ritchie said with evident

pride, “In a blind taste test, Metro Vancouver water comes out on top.”

Whether that’s because of the quality of the water in the reservoir first shaped by glaciation 10,000 to 14,000 years ago or because of the attention paid to disinfection throughout the system, it’s hard to say, but for de Boer and Ritchie, Coquitlam water should not be taken for granted. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

BEARS IN THE TRI-CITIES

‘Huge improvement’ in trash rules compliance continued from front page

“Definitely we’ve seen a huge improvement in compliance,” said Coquitlam urban wildlife coordinator Julie Kanya. “The city of Coquitlam has an education wildlife program for over 10 years.

We’re getting the message that way, but there is a subset that requires a bit of a warning to induce compliance.”

Kanya told The Tri-City News the city decided in late 2015 to increase awareness and enforcement, with the result being violations are down even though the patrols have stayed the same. She said patrols she went on last year would net about 30

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

Bears are out and about looking for food but the cities have had fewer issues with trash this year. violations while this year she would only see about 10.

Kanya said the berry crop has been good this year, which

she believes is why there have been fewer calls about bear sightings since the animals are getting their food elsewhere.

But she added the city is still receiving complaints and it’s not just up on Burke Mountain.

They’re being seen in big green spaces like Mundy Park because the bears use wildlife corridors to go farther into the city.

Kanya reminded residents to continue the bear aware tactics with their containers because in this region, they don’t necessarily hibernate. Although activity does die down with mothers and their young in dens, there are lone males that may be looking for food.

“They’re very habitual and if

they know there’s a particular food source in a neighbourhood, that’s the first place they’ll go.”

Port Moody has issued 176 first-offence tickets, which carry a $50 fine, for putting carts out before 5:30 a.m. so far in 2018 and 19 second-offence tickets carrying a $150 fine along with five warnings. In addition, PoMo’s bylaw enforcement officers issued 109 first-offence tickets with $50 fines for having carts without bear clips out on non-collection days plus one secondoffence ticket of $150 and one third-offence infraction carrying a fine of $500.

So far in 2018, Port

Coquitlam has issued 14 tickets. Nine were for unsecured attractants, two for early setout, two more for an unlocked private container and one for an unlocked city container.

In addition, PoCo spokesperson Pardeep Purewal, told The Tri-City News the bylaw department and BC Conservation Service have been out some evenings in October doing a door-knocking education blitz to make sure no one is putting out containers too early or has unsecured containers.

Like Coquitlam, PoCo is also reminding residents to keep garbage and food scraps secure during the winter.

RIVERVIEW HOSPITAL

Coq. looks at heritage designation for R’view

NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION

GRant GRanGeR The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Riverview Lands Advisory Committee wants the city to have another go at having the 244-acre mental health facility site receive a national heritage designation.

In 2009, the committee asked the city to apply for the designation to the Historic Sites and National Monuments Board of Canada. Its staff supported the application but did not take it to the board because the property’s owner, the province, did not provide a letter of support.

Committee chair Coun.

Craig Hodge said its members felt with a change in provincial government in 2017 it would be worth making the request again. “[The designation] doesn’t offer protection, but what it does do is open up potential for funding for restoration projects, commemoration and interpretation. It doesn’t protect it from any buildings from being demolished,” said Hodge in an interview with The TriCity News.

Vancouver’s Gastown district, for example, noted Hodge, has the designation but still does redevelopment.

Gatensbury Road Improvement Project Oct 2018–May 2019 tri-city newS file photo

Coquitlam is considering applying for a Historic Sites designation from for the 244-acre Riverview Hospital grounds.

Although the committee recommended revisiting the application, city council at its meeting Monday night, decided to not act on it just yet.

Hodge said he would raise it again with the newly elected council early in 2019.

He noted many of the players have changed since the original application was made including himself. Only two of council members elected Oct. 20 were in their present position a decade ago and there has been a changeover in staff as well, he said. There’s also a

new group in charge in Victoria with the NDP and Green Party taking control of the legislature from the BC Liberals following the May 2017 election, he added.

Since 2009, the province has turned over management of the property to its BC Housing crown corporation, which is also in the midst of creating a new vision for the site. Hodge said it would be premature to reapply for the designation before everyone was brought up to speed. newsroom@tricitynews.com

COQUITLAM

Pop-up park could become permanent Playground may become regular summer feature

COQUITLAM BUDGET CONSULTATION Starting tomorrow (Thursday), Coquitlam residents can weigh in on their spending priorities as part of the city’s online Citizen Budget tool.

The process takes about eight minutes to complete and gives residents the opportunity to design their own budget funding levels for various services, such as garbage pickup, recreation, roads and fire. Participants can then see the impact their choices have on a mock tax bill.

Coquitlam has used the Citizen Budget website since 2014 and said it has helped guide the city’s financial decision making.

The online tool can be found at www.coquitlam.ca/budget between Nov. 1 and 30.

Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

The popularity of the Adventure Playground pop-up park pilot project in Coquitlam has city staff looking at ways of making the attraction a permanent summer feature.

The park, which was one of only a handful in Canada that emphasizes unstructured, risky and creative play, drew approximately 90 to 100 visitors daily from across the region, according to a staff report.

“It was a very successful pilot,” said Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “We believe it has merit to continue as an ongoing city program.”

Allueva said attendance was brisk, with weekdays more popular than weekends. Over the course of the summer, staff observed a high of 200 children entering the park, while numbers dropped off when air quality advisory warnings went out in August.

The drop-in space — which

was located next to the City Centre Aquatic Complex between July 2 and Sept. 2 — provided planks of wood, hammers, nails, tires, tarps and other materials, and allowed children to use their imagination to build and create.

The concept is based on emerging research that has found young people benefit from free and independent play, learning how to think critically and develop creativity while identifying hazards and assessing risks.

“Adventure playgrounds provide environments for children to explore with minimal adult guidance and intervention,” said a staff report.

“Parents and caregivers are encouraged to observe their children from outside the play area while children build, create and alter the space as they choose.”

Allueva said there would likely be a funding request in the 2019 budget to keep the program going next year.

Last summer’s pilot project was expected to cost $26,000, but because of its popularity, another staff person was added to oversee the park, which increased the overall budget to $40,000. Budget consultations are expected to get underway in the next few months. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Residents along Gatensbury Road say fewer cars are driving around construction barriers at the top and bottom of the windy, hilly commuter route, but those that do are going too fast.

ROAD SAFETY

Gatensbury Rd. traffic is still problematic MaRio BaRtel The Tri-CiTy News

Fewer people are driving around construction barriers on Gatensbury Road in Port Moody but residents say those who do are driving too fast.

Darryl Skipworth, who has lived on Gatensbury for 12 years, said drivers seem finally to be heeding the myriad of barriers and road closure signs that have advised them of the extensive construction project that started in early October to make the busy commuter route safer. But he said the removal of lane dividers and boulevards as crews work their way along the steep, winding two-lane road seems to be encouraging those drivers who continue to defy signage to drive faster than the 30 km/h speed limit.

Skipworth said the speeding traffic is especially a problem once the construction crews and flaggers have packed up for the day.

“The visual distraction isn’t there anymore and they gun it down the hill,” he said, adding he’s especially worried as winter rains, frost and darkness set in. “It’s a difficult road to drive at the best of times.”

Gatensbury is expected

to remain closed to all but local residents until next May. Construction crews are updating sewers and water mains, evening out some of the blind curves and gradients that are as steep as 13%, installing raised medians, curbs and gutters, as well as a new threemetre-wide multi-use pathway for pedestrians and cyclists on the west side.

Stephen Judd, Port Moody’s acting general manager of engineering and operations, said the city is monitoring the traffic situation on Gatensbury and reviewing possible solutions along with Port Moody Police Department.

Gatensbury was identified as far back as 2007 as a priority for safety improvements and traffic calming. A traffic survey conducted by the city in

2015 determined about 5,500 vehicles a day travelled on the street, which is often used by commuters as a conduit between Coquitlam and Port Moody.

Prior to the start of construction earlier in October, the city of Port Moody placed several notice of construction signs along roads that feed Gatensbury as well as four electronic reader boards at locations on St. Johns Street and Como Lake Avenue. The city also advised residents in the area about the project with a letter, issued passes to allow people who live on the street to drive to and from their homes, and posted several notices on its social media channels and website. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

SETTING IT STRAIGHT

Re: “Tri-City colleagues pay tribute to Clay” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 26) The date given in the referenced story for the swearing in of Port Moody’s new city council was incorrect. Council will be sworn in at a special ceremony Tuesday, Nov. 6; the new council’s first regular meeting will be held one week later, Nov. 13. The same article also omitted the name of one incumbent who was re-elected: Coun. Diana Dilworth.

Mother, daughter hit by car on Lougheed Gary McKenna

PEDESTRIAN STRUCK

The Tri-CiTy News

A four-year-old girl and her mother sustained minor injuries after being struck by a car while jaywalking in the 3000block of Lougheed Highway last Thursday evening, the Coquitlam RCMP said.

Cpl. Michael McLaughlin told The Tri-City News the mother was carrying her child across Lougheed, near Real Canadian Superstore, between Pinetree Way and Westwood Street, when the two were struck in a dimly lit area with no crosswalk. He added the driver was obeying the rules of the road and was not impaired or distracted at the time of the incident.

The 33-year-old mom and her child were walking shortly before 7:30 p.m. when they were hit by an eastbound vehicle. According to witnesses, the impact dented the front of the car and sent the two people into the windshield.

Both pedestrians were taken to

A 71-year-old female pedestrian is in serious condition after she was hit by a pickup truck that was leaving a parking lot in the 1900-block of United Boulevard Monday night.

The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. and investigators said the crash was at low speed and there was no sign the driver, who stayed at the scene, was impaired.

“Unfortunately, this collision is a prime example of why November is Pedestrian Safety Month,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. “Drivers need to be more alert in this dark and rainy season. Pedestrians need to keep their eyes up and wear bright, reflective clothing. No matter who’s at fault, a pedestrian will always lose a collision with a vehicle.”

Police are still talking to witnesses about the incident and asking anyone with information that has not yet spoken with investigators to call the Coquitlam RCMP’s non-emergency line at 604-945-1550 and ask for the Criminal Collision Investigation Team (file number 2018-33744). hospital and treated for minor injuries and McLaughlin said the mother would likely be ticketed for her actions.

“We are really lucky in this case that the driver was not speeding,” he told The Tri-City News Friday morning. “It could have been a lot worse. We are fortunate that the injuries are

as minor as they are.

“This is just a glaring example of what not to do,” he said, noting that the mother and child were wearing dark clothing at the time of the incident.

“When you are crossing the street, there are reasons why lights are the places to cross.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

Cooperation key for cities T

he addition of two new mayors changes the Tri-City landscape and means political officials will need to work extra hard to ensure cooperation and collaboration on shared issues.

This is possible if the mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody leave their egos at the door for the good of the region. a number of important issues come to mind as we embark on a new four-year term in office for city councils; some are as yet unresolved, some are new, but all need a deft hand, good communication and a willingness of all three mayors to sit down and talk.

We would love to be a fly on the wall for what is sure to be DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

an important working session if such an event is organized in the next few weeks after the new mayors are sworn in.

We can expect to see Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart offer his experience in multicity concerns to new mayors brad West in PoCo and Rob vagramov in PoMo, while the two new mayors can offer enthusiasm and fresh perspectives as well as their varying amounts of council experience.

Here are some of the issues that will need some collaboration in the coming months.

• Daycare: With provincial money on the table, the three cities and School district 43 are expected to work together in the coming months to find ways to get more daycares on

TC

city and school land.

• Traffic and growth: New development on burke Mountain in Coquitlam, along St. Johns in Port Moody and in the dominion Triangle area in Port Coquitlam will generate more traffic that will pass through each city, requiring cooperation to optimize roads, bus routes, car sharing and other options to keep gridlock to a minimum.

• The economy: The cities should work together on a joint economic framework to attract new businesses to the TriCities rather than competing against one another or going it alone.

• Cannabis sales: In addition to consulting with residents, cities should consult

with one another to make sure any cannabis stores are well spaced out and not clustered.

• Homelessness: Coquitlam’s task force on the 3030 Gordon ave. homeless shelter produced a number of recommendations but what happens in the city also affects Port Coquitlam. The two communities should offer a united front to fraser Health and other organizations seeking to provide opportunities to reduce homelessness and addiction.

These issues and many more unite the cities and with a new term comes an opportunity for fresh ideas and a fresh start. We look forward to seeing how the councils will work together now and in the coming months and years.

The Tri-Cities’ three mayors — veteran Richard Stewart in Coquitlam (above left); Port Coquitlam newbie Brad West (above right), a longtime city councillor; and, in Port Moody, former one-term councillor Rob Vagramov — have a lot of work to do to ensure cooperation between the cities on issues that affect all three communities.

ELECTORAL REFORM REFERENDUM

Locals offer pros and cons of different voting systems The Editor, I recently read some interesting information about proportional representation (PR) that I found very informative.

Here are some parts of it: Arend Lijphart, a worldrenowned political scientist, studied and compared 36 democracies over 55 years; both PR and first past the post (FPTP). In his 2012 landmark study, he determined that PR democracies are kinder and gentler, characterized by inclusiveness, bargaining and compromise versus FPTP — our current system — which is exclusive, competitive and adversarial. In PR parliaments, politicians must cooperate to get stuff done. Also: • More than 90 democracies around the world have PR voting systems.

• PR countries score better on transparency and have lower levels of corruption.

PR No country that has switched from FPTP to PR has ever voted to switch back,

though several have held referendums where there was the opportunity to do so.

• Under PR, citizens are more satisfied with their democracies even when their preferred party is not in power.

• Youth voter turnout is higher.

Definitely sounds like the way to go, where everyone’s vote will count. Currently, a government with 40% of the votes does not represent 60% of the people.

SpEAk Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. in addition to the first past the post question.

The question “If I support First Past the Post on Question 1, can I still answer Question 2?” and “If I answer Question 2, do I have to rank all three systems?” are, in my opinion, designed to encourage people to answer Question 2 as well as any single or multiple ranking.

There is an element of a game/ quiz that implies/encourages you to answer all of the questions and no clear understanding what impact will result on the final decision.

My perception is that even if you want to retain the present

question queries

The Editor, I’ve read the Voter’s Guide for the 2018 Referendum on Electoral Reform and the identical guidelines on the Elections BC website.

My concerns remain that the wording of the three questions in bold Ink on page 3 are somewhat disingenuous and downplay the consequences of answering any of the proportional representation choices

FPTP system, the answers that you provided for fun or curiosity will be used to influence the number of votes toward the proportional representation outcome.

The question should be do you want to retain the current system: Yes or No? And then: If you decide No, please select the choices which you would prefer to see in a proportional representation system/format. I envision the true Democracies of Greece, italy and Israel and the total ineffectiveness of their governments to govern for the citizens versus the focus of compromise between the vested interests of each political party.

I feel that Premier John Horgan and Green Party leader Andrew Weaver know full well what the impact of the design of the questions will be and are desperate to change the current system to their personal advantage, all under the guise of a purer democratic system.

CIVIC ELECTIONS

Candidate packages better than the signs The Editor, Re. “Candidate says city mail package was misleading” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 19) and “City’s ad package unfair to newbies” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Oct. 26).

Being a 30-year Coquitlam resident, I was happy to receive in the mail the candidates’ ad package prior to the Oct. 20 election. That package was a needed improvement over the individual signs. The candidate sheets actually informed us what they stood for, or wanted to do as councillors or school trustees. I used those sheets

to make my decisions on where to place my votes.

Signs only give a person’s name and nothing about why they want to hold a position on council or the school board. In addition, signs are expensive for the individual candidates. Costs to have them printed and put up makes a person beholden to the group(s) financing or working for the candidates.

And, we have too much special interest lobbying in politics these days. I hope this new practice continues in future elections.

Concerns about the OK process for dev’t.

Accessibility queries regarding proposed project MariO Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

A 30-unit townhouse project proposed for Clarke Street in Port Moody will go to a public hearing Nov. 13 but the process it followed to get there may be in for some further refinement.

The project, by Paulsun Holdings Ltd., would be located at 2301-2307 Clarke St. and comprise mostly two-bedroomplus-den suites along with eight three-bedroom units in four buildings separated by an interior courtyard. It’s also the first proposal to follow a new route to council that was adopted last June to streamline and hasten the process for considering new developments.

Instead of allowing public comment when projects are reviewed by Port Moody’s community planning advisory committee (CPAC) — which includes all members of city council, representatives from the city’s six neighbourhoods and representatives with specialized backgrounds in mobility challenges, the environment and arts and culture — the committee is charged with making recommendations to developers and the city’s general manager of planning for any changes or adjustments to proposals.

The public gets its chance to weigh in at subsequent community information meetings and/or at a formal public hearing before city council.

But at last Tuesday’s council meeting, some councillors expressed lingering concerns about how the project complies with new city requirements regarding the percentage of units in any new development that must be adaptable to accommodate people with mobility challenges.

While the city’s manager of planning and development, André Boel, assured councillors the project did satisfy the requirement that 50% of groundfloor units be adaptable, Coun.

Meghan Lahti questioned whether any doubts could have been assuaged earlier had the public been given an opportunity to be heard.

Boel concurred that not informing the public about any zoning bylaw changes for things like adaptable units or parking requirements for a project until a public hearing would be “late, if not too late.”

He added, “It’s important that the bylaw that is communicated to the public be as complete as possible,” although further changes can still be made by council after a public hearing.

Coun. Zoe Royer suggested making changes so late in the process defeats the purpose of streamlining it and could mean

With rainy weather in the forecast, the cities are reminding residents to help keep catch basins and intakes clear of leaves and debris.

The Tri-Cities appear to have avoided the flooding seen in other parts of Metro Vancouver after Sunday night’s rainstorm but work crews said they will continue to be vigilant about keeping drains clear.

“The storm that occurred [Sunday] night was well predicted mid-last week, so city of Coquitlam public works crews were out last week clearing our intakes and critical catch basins,” said Brad Lofgren, Coquitlam’s director of public works. “We also have a weekend day-shift crew who continued to monitor the situation and keep our infrastructure clear over the weekend. As a result, we did not experience any areas of flooding last night.”

In Port Moody, some minor flooding occurred overnight along Barnet Highway but crews were able to resolve the issue by Monday morning.

Rosemary Lodge, the city’s manager of communications and engagement, said city staff conduct street sweeping to remove leaves and debris from catch basins to avoid flooding and routinely check creeks and storm inlets to ensure they are clear.

Port Coquitlam also managed to avoid flooding Sunday night and was reminding residents to keep their catch basin grates clear of leaves and debris.

“Not having that public input at CPAC when we wanted to have an early read from the community, we’re going to be creating a costly process,” she said. “That really worries me.”

Lahti said while it would be unfair to change the rules of the game in the midst of this application, “maybe we need to take a second look at some of the aspects of the current process.”

In a photo taken last year, Ken Kuhn gets a high-dose flu vaccine from Ajit Johal at Wilson Pharmacy in Port Coquitlam.

Association of Retired Persons, B.C. care providers and agencies that run long-term care homes about their concerns about a flu outbreak.

A high-dose flu vaccine could prevent an outbreak because research has shown that it can be effective, she said. And while those over the age of 65 living independently could benefit, too, if they got the shot for free, her bill focuses on people living in residential care homes because they are the most vulnerable. “Once there’s an outbreak in a long-term care home, it

really affects the population,” Isaacs said.

Access to the high-dose vaccine would reduce the risk of flu being spread, cutting down on emergency visits, hospital stays and death, Isaacs said.

Asked why the previous BC Liberal government didn’t offer to provide the shot for free for care home residents, Isaacs said she doesn’t know “I don’t know if anyone had ever raised it before,” she said.

“As seniors critic, it has come to my attention.”

A retired teacher who has made it his mission to ensure seniors get access to a highdose influenza vaccination is lauding efforts of Tri-City BC Liberal MLA Joan Isaacs to raise the issue in the legislature.

Ken Kuhn, who has reached out to both Premier John Horgan and Health Minister Adrian Dix about the issue, as well as a group of medical health officers, wants the government to pay for the vaccine for people over the age of 65.

He said it has been proven to be more effective than the standard dose, and is paid for in other provinces while B.C. has fallen behind on the issue.

He was bolstered by the private members bill Isaacs, the MLA for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, tabled in the legislature to review the usage of high-dose vaccine in long-term care homes, provide a report about it and consider the cost of paying for it in both public and privately run care facilities.

“I will be supporting her as much as possible,” Kuhn said.

Isaacs said as seniors critic, she was motivated to table the bill after hearing from seniors groups, such as the Canadian

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing

loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away.

In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2.

This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS The Tri-Cities political landscape looks much different today than it did just two weeks ago. The municipal election results are in and the new mayors and councillors are getting acquainted with their new roles. As we stand on the cusp of a new era, with two new mayors in our region, we look forward to growing a prosperous and cohesive business community.

One of our strategic goals at the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is to promote the Tri-Cities as the best place to live, work, and play. As such, we hosted three All Candidates Debates to inform voters, encourage voter turnout, and connect each respective community. This is a long-standing tradition of the Chamber, allowing members and the public to have their voices heard.

HAPPY

ANNIVERSARY!

Each debate was filled beyond capacity, marking our biggest All Candidates Debates in history. To accommodate the interest and engagement, we broadcasted the events live on our Facebook page. The archived videos on Facebook have received over 6000 cumulative views with hundreds of comments as Michael Hind community members engaged with the candidates and their peers. We’re proud to see this growing Chief Executive Officer interest in the local municipal elections.

Next week, the new councils will be sworn in, marking the beginning of their four-year journey of governing their respective communities, working to make the Tri-Cities a great place to live, work and play.

I’d like to extend a big thank you on behalf of the Tri-Cities Chamber, its members, and our community to outgoing Mayors Greg Moore of Port Coquitlam and Mike Clay of Port Moody. You were both tireless champions for your cities and worked hard together to make our region the great place it is. I would also like to thank long-term Port Coquitlam Councillor Mike Forrest for his years of service as well as Barbara Junker, nine-year Port Moody Councillor. Coquitlam Councillors Mae Reid and Terry O’Neill did not seek re-election, thank you for your hard work and dedication over the years.

A critical part of the strength of any city is having a healthy and vibrant businesses community within its borders. These businesses provide local employment along with the goods and services needed in our day-to-day lives. They also contribute greatly to the tax base which allows the city to provide a variety of services to its residents.

We have worked hard over the past several years to make the Tri-Cities a business-friendly region to the benefit of its citizens. Much progress has been made but there is still work to be done. Good business is always forward thinking and looking for ways to improve. The same should be the case for our governments.

My hope is that we continue to work alongside each other to build on the groundwork that has been laid in order to make the Tri-Cities community a great option for people to live, work and play.

The Incident at Draycott Woods

The Howling

n MATThEw CAREw, 17, COquITLAM

n SOFIA PAREjA, 12, PORT COquITLAM

I

step into the cold fall night. A thin layer of fog hovers above the fallen autumn leaves, and the scent of fireworks lingers in the air. It is Halloween, a night of worshipping witches and goblins and whatever ungodly creatures exist in common folklore and urban myths. I try not to get caught up in the night, partly because I am a high school senior now, but mainly because of my town’s dark past. Two years ago, on this same night, four kids disappeared. They were in the notorious Draycott Woods, and seemingly vanished without a trace.

As bad as that sounds on its own, the police were left with no leads, other than a circle of salt surrounding some belongings of the kids. There were no weapons found nearby, no forensic trail left by the killer, and no known enemies of any of the victims. While the police department struggled to find the missing kids, the conversations of Waterville citizens quickly began to encompass rumours and theories of a gruesome quadruple murder.

It was this preconception of the night that led to my trepidation when I stepped out into the Halloween air. I was well aware that the assailant had not been found yet, and whatever ‘evil’ forces lingered in Waterville may be just as inclined to attack me as they were with the four other kids, 3 of whom I was friends with.

To get to my friend’s house, I would have to cut through Draycott Woods.

I take a deep breath, and start towards the treeline. I can’t see past the first couple rows of trees, but I know this area of the forest well.

As soon as my foot steps off the road and onto the grass of Draycott Woods, a ululating howl of what I presume to be a coyote, echoes through the forest, as if to forewarn me of the dangers ahead. I tentatively continue into the forest. I look back to see fog engulfing the streetlights, and soon find myself to be lurking amongst dancing shadows, as naked fall trees sway with the cold breeze.

Crunch.

I stop. My heart beats uncontrollably. I reach for my phone to use the flashlight.

SNAP. I turn around as fast as my hips permit. About ten feet away from me stands a figure. I can see his silhouette against the faint light from the street lights. Adrenaline begins gushing through my veins, and before I know it, I am turning the other way and running as fast as I can. The crunching of leaves behind me becomes louder and louder, until…

Thump.

I trip over a log and land face-first into the moist dirt. But something tastes weird, almost likeThe footsteps stop behind me. I take my face out of the dirt, and shine my flashlight in the general direction of the sound. My light illuminates a masked man standing behind a tree. I shine the light to the ground next to me, and notice I am surrounded by something. As blood begins to ichor from a wound on my forehead and my vision becomes blurred, I realize what I am surrounded by…

I am surrounded by a circle of salt…

OTHER FINALISTS

I

t started with the howling.

The sound was quiet at first, just some noise in the background of the radio or the TV. No one noticed it much. As the days passed by, though, it got more noticeable. It was in the background of all transmissions. Radio, TV, phone calls, they all had this strange, ululating shriek in the background.

The townspeople were already nervous. The first blood moon in a hundred years was due to pass over the town in a week. That normally wouldn’t scare people, but for the last few weeks the animals had been disappearing.

Pets, farm animals, even animals from the zoo had been disappearing, leaving a bloody, gruesome splotch behind. Rumours and conspiracy theories flew around the town, but no one had any idea what was happening. The strange howling noise drove the town into a panic.

They put up a curfew. No one was allowed outside between 6 pm and 7 am. The town police rounded up a group of brave volunteers to be the night patrol, searching for the source of the howling. It was in the background of everyday life now, a constant reminder that something was there. Most people tried to ignore it, and hope that it went away.

The night patrol didn’t find much at first. They searched every nook and cranny, trying to find the source of the noise. The noise didn’t seem to be coming from anywhere specific, although some people claimed that it came from the ground. They spent many sleepless nights, searching dark alleys, and responding to the endless calls about missing pets. After about a week or so, they finally had a breakthrough. A farmer in town had reported a large hole in one of his fields that might be related to the noise.

The night patrol was sent out to investigate this hole. It wasn’t that big, but it was deep, and it stank of death and decay. There were twenty people in the night patrol group, so they decided to send ten down to investigate. The rest went back to search for new leads.

The hole led to a big underground cavern. The walls were wet and slimy, and there were many tunnels going in different directions. Suddenly, they heard a scream, a louder, less muffled version of what they’d been hearing all week. They hurried into the direction of the scream, holding out weapons just in case. When they reached the end of the tunnel, they found a horrifying sight.

A giant humanoid monster was sitting at the end of the tunnel. Animal bones and carcasses surrounded him, and the monster was eating a small cat. The missing pets were cowering in the corner, blood pooling on the ground beneath them like ichor. The monster turned towards them, smiling hungrily.

The group sent down into the hole never came back, but after they left, the noise stopped. Almost as if the monster was full at last…

LIBRARIES & LITERACY

‘Golden Age’ of sci fi A GOOD READ MICHAEL DEKOVEN

T

he “fascinating tales of a strange tomorrow” blurb on cover of the original 1950 edition of Isaac Asimov’s book, I, Robot, could be taken as a credo for what has been called the Golden Age of Science Fiction.

One of the perennial classics from that era is Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles, which features a series of linked stories outlining the colonization of Mars by humans, the subsequent near extinction of the Martians by chickenpox brought by the original colonists, and how the devastation of Earth by nuclear war turns those colonists into the new Martians. Unlike many of his “hard” science fiction compatriots, Bradbury was less interested in details like how his colonists breathe the Martian atmosphere than with the interaction of people, governments and corporations as well as issues such as racism, violence, greed and censorship that so often mark these relationships.

He is famous for dealing with these difficult topics in a lyrical and philosophical manner.

Asimov was one of the preeminent “hard” science fiction authors, which is only fitting for a man who was also a profes-

sor of biochemistry. One of his most popular and influential works was Foundation, the first book in the series of the same name. As the great Galactic Empire enters a slow decline, the Foundation is created to preserve humanity’s scientific understanding though the dark ages that some see coming.

To protect the Foundation’s advanced technology from the local warlords breaking away from the dying empire, they cloak it as a new religion, which allows them to subjugate their corrupt neighbours.

Another “hard” science fiction author of the period was Arthur C. Clarke. I suggest you start with his first successful novel, Childhood’s End. As the U.S. and the Soviet Union battle to see who is first able to launch a military spacecraft into orbit, the huge silver spaceships of the Overlords suddenly appear over Earth’s major cities. The Overlords announce they have come to save humanity from extinction, which they do by forbidding man’s expansion into space and by setting up a single world government that they control. They also say they won’t let anyone see them until 50 years have passed, and some humans who feel the golden age the Overlords usher in isn’t worth being confined to the planet wonder what the Overlords are hiding.

they are hiding is a shock but they truly are the midwives to humanity’s ascent to adulthood that they claim to be.

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester, while somewhat tongue-in-cheek, is sometimes seen as prototype for the dark cyberpunk science fiction that started to emerge some 30 years after the novel was first serialized. As in stories by William Gibson and his peers, the novel is notable for its characterization of unaccountable, soulless corporations driven only by profit and with power equal or greater to the governments of the day. We meet Gully Foyle, the uneducated and shiftless protagonist as he has just been marooned in space, the lone survivor of an attack on his merchant spaceship. His previously unmotivated life becomes filled with an overwhelming thirst for revenge when a passing ship ignores his distress signal and continues by without rescuing him. He survives and, with the help of a secret treasure, remakes himself as a lurid aristocrat in the cause of hunting down and killing the crew of the ship that left him to die.

TC ARTS/enT. time TiCkiNg to bid iN arTs auCTioN

An online auction for a Coquitlam arts hub is about $2,000 shy of its goal.

And there’s still time to place bids on big and small prizes — a few of which haven’t had much interest since the fundraiser opened Oct. 20.

Staff at Place des Arts hope to generate at least $10,000 to subsidize — or offer at no cost — registrations for its arts programs. As of Tuesday, about 79% of the target (or $7,903) had been met.

Among the larger items on the block include: an Airwalk Hoverboard 6.5; kickstart training bundles from Innovative Fitness in Coquitlam and Port Moody; two tickets for the Vancouver Opera production of La Boheme; and a season pass for next year’s Vancouver International Film Festival.

The less-expensive prizes available include: five admission passes to the BC Sports Hall of Fame (valued at $100); and a family membership to the Beaty Biodiversity Museum (valued at $70).

To place a bid, visit 32auctions.com/placedesarts.

The auction closes on Saturday at 9 p.m.; participants will be notified by email if they are outbid.

The women behind the beer Janis Cleugh

THE DETAILS

The Tri-CiTy News

Women have a long history with beer.

From the early days, they were the ones in the kitchen: cooking, baking and brewing the alcoholic beverages.

But when the industrial revolution hit, beer production was considered a man’s job and, thus, women were shunted to secondary roles or “ale wives” serving as barmaids, pub managers and brewery bottlers, for example.

Times have changed, said Paul Pyne, an SFU beer instructor who is also the territory sales manager at Central City Brewers + Distillers, “and it’s been a nice resurgence.”

Earlier this year, Pyne — as ambassador of the Coquitlam Craft Beer Festival, which runs this weekend at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club and is sponsored in part by The Tri-City News — put out an invite to women working in the B.C. craft beer industry, from sales reps and marketers to brewmasters.

His goal was to highlight “and honour” these women with a theme room at the beer fest, and to demonstrate how they’ve helped to grow the sector.

Pyne got six positive responses.

Among those attending the fest will be Julia Hanlon, the award-winning brewmaster for Vancouver’s Steamworks Brewing Co. — one of the province’s oldest and mostrecognized brew pubs that also has product in liquor stores.

Last week, Hanlon, who joined the craft beer company in 2015 after a decade with Molson, took top honours for her Steamworks Winter Lager and for the Steamworks Heroica Red Ale — and second place for the Steamworks

Frambozen — at the BC Beer Awards, a three-day juried event that saw 1,085 entries from 109 B.C. breweries.

Also recognized at the Oct. 20 ceremony with the Legend Award was Lundy Dale, who also accepted Pyne’s invite to be at the Coquitlam Craft Beer Fest this weekend.

Dale is with the Vancouver

chapter of the Pink Boots Society (a group designed to encourage women beer professionals through education); she also works with R&B Brewing and TAPS, the beer magazine.

Molly Graham from Coal Harbour Brewing, Sarah Johnston-Watson of Driftwood Brewery, Steph Jones from

Red Truck Beer and Samantha Ingham of Collective Arts have also signed up to be at the Coquitlam beer event.

Their six companies will be among the 31 breweries that will pour for guests Friday night and Saturday afternoon.

Like last year, a cask theme room will again be highlighted offering “unique beers that are

not available commercially,” Pyne said.

Meanwhile, West Coast Experiences — in partnership with Marquis Wine Cellars — will hosts its second annual Tri-City International Wine and Food Festival, on Saturday night at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club.

For its theme room, organizers will showcase 10 wines from South America.

• Partial proceeds from both the craft beer and international wine festivals benefit Team Taylor with The Ride to Conquer Cancer, a two-day cycling fundraiser for the BC Cancer Foundation; its next ride takes place in the summer of 2019.

Quebec a capella jazz, Brazil dance beats Remembering the wars is often accompanied by the music of those times.

And, with the 100th anniversary of the First World War’s armistice on Remembrance Day, three bands will evoke those memories in A Salute to the Veteran at Terry Fox Theatre on Sunday.

The show at the Port Coquitlam venue will be a revue of songs spanning the wars over the last century.

The Creole Jazz Band will present the traditional jazz of the First World War while the 18-piece Bruce James Orchestra — an 18-piece big band — will play the hits of the Second World War era such as In The Mood and Sentimental Journey.

Meanwhile, Double Overtime will perform music from the 1960s to the present — including Gloria Gaynor’s disco hit I Will Survive, Abba’s Mamma Mia and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk — to honour veterans of the wars in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan as well as other conflicts and peacekeeping missions.

The ushers will be volunteers from the Port Moody Legion, with net proceeds going to support veterans and their families.

For tickets to the Nov. 4 show at 2 p.m. at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate,

will be trumpeter and bandleader John Korsrud, guitarist Celso Machado, saxophonist Tom Keenlyside, pianist Miles Black, Brazilian tambourinist Liam MacDonald, trombonist Rod Murray and percussionist Toto Berriel.

As well, the dancers and drummers of Vancouver’s Aché Brasil will hit the stage to celebrate the 60th year since the start of Brazil’s Bossa Nova musical movement.

EPIC FAIL. LEGENDARY CARE.

PHOTO SUBMTTED

Performer and puppet designer Randi Edmundson, who works at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam, with Freddie. There will be a public show on Friday night for Tri-City audiences.

arts notes

Freddie from the block At this time of the year, saying Freddie is in the neighbourhood might evoke visions of Freddie Krueger from the horror flick Nightmare on Elm Street.

But, in this case, it’s a blue dog.

Freddie in the Neighbourhood is the first show this season in the Evergreen Cultural Centre family series, running as school matinees this week at the Coquitlam facility and on Friday night for a public performance.

Produced by the Little Onion Puppet Company, it’s about a blue dog named Freddie who is afraid to go outside. It won two Jessie Awards earlier this year including outstanding production in the theatre for young audiences category.

In the play Freddie finds himself lost in a forest near his house but he learns the skills he needs to overcome shyness and finds out his neighbourhood is a nice place and he discovers new friends.

The show was created with the help of Grade 3 students.

It’s ‘pay-what-you-can’ admission for the family series but the suggested price per person is $10. For tickets to the Friday show, call the box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

COLLEGE CAST

Three Tri-Cities residents are members of the student cast in Douglas College’s production of Tales from Ovid that opens Friday at the New Westminster campus.

Aidan Currie of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam’s Khyla Granstrom and Aysia Ledoux perform in the theatre department production of a stage adaptation — retelling nine of 24 of Ovid’s stories by poet Ted Hughes. For tickets, visit talesfromovid.bpt.me.

BOOK CRAWL

A Port Coquitlam bookstore is participating in a Metro Vancouver used bookstore crawl this weekend.

SHARON CRANDALL Western Sky Books, winner of this year’s Tri-City News A-List awards for favourite new business and favourite bookstore, is one of seven independent used bookstores on the crawl. “Several used bookstores opened in the last year: two storefronts, a mobile book truck, and two stores were taken over by new owners,” said Western Sky’s Tamara Gorin in a press release. “Each store is unique and serves their local community by filling a specific niche, providing a different bookstore experience.”

She added, “We’re holding the crawl to encourage that delightful bookstore spirit and get the word out that bookstores are here to stay.”

Customers can pick up their used bookstore crawl passport at the first store they visit on Saturday and Sunday to be eligible for prize draws. For a list of participating stores go to westernskybooks.com.

FAMILY DAY AT PDA

Watercolour artist Enda Bardell will show her painting skills at Sunday’s Family Day at PdA. The family-fun activities at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam) run from 2 to 4 p.m. and include a sky painting demo by Bardell, who currently has a solo show on the gallery walls titled Up There!

Participants can try their hand in a similar style as well as a mixed-media floral like in Botanical Reflections, a series on display by the Fibre Art Network.

For the third workshop, families can snap a picture in a Beautiful Moments photo booth — inspired by the KOVAN photo club’s collection. Admission is free; however, registration is encouraged by visiting brownpapertickets. com.

DONATE TODAY!

Coquitlam actor Sharon Crandall is cast as Kate in The Enemy, which runs Nov. 10 to Dec. 1 at the Firehall Arts Centre in Vancouver.

The Enemy opens the Firehall’s 36th season.

It’s not the first time Crandall has worked with Spencer: The pair also joined forces for the Firehall production of Shit.

Crandall’s most recent stage work was at the Bard on the Beach this past summer, where she portrayed Corin in As You Like It; she was also in the ensemble for Lysistrata.

For tickets to The Enemy, visit firehallartscentre.ca.

Delirium dogs Coquitlam ultramarathoner Ultramarathon experience includes sleep deprivation and hallucinations MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Dennis Marchant celebrated his 40th birthday recently with three steaks and half an ice cream cake.

He earned them.

Earlier this month, the Coquitlam accountant finished 35th in the Moab 240 ultramarathon in Utah. In 86 hours, 58 minutes and 50 seconds, he covered 243 miles of road and rugged trails, traversed two mountain ranges, skirted a snowstorm and got annoyed when he kept having to run around his wife and two kids playing ping pong on one long stretch of the route.

The latter was a hallucination, one of the recreational hazards of ultramarathoning, where runners test the limits of their physical and mental endurance over hundreds of miles of trails with little or no sleep. Or, as Marchant likes to call it, his birthday present to himself.

Marchant started running in grade school, mostly 100-yard dashes. When he was in high school he trained for his first 10 km Sun Run and progressed up the distances to half and full marathons from there.

Then he got bored.

It was while training on the Grouse Grind Marchant learned of the Knee Knacker, a renowned 50 km trail race across the North Shore mountains. He signed up and regretted it almost immediately.

At the foot of Mt. Seymour, just past the last aid station yet still far from the finish at the top of the mountain, Marchant

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam’s Dennis Marchant takes an easy jog through Mundy Park after he completed the Moab 240 ultramarathon earlier in October. He normally trains by running up and down Burnaby Mountain. was, well, knackered. He didn’t think he could go on, but he couldn’t drop out either.

“That was the only time I ever actually cried,” he said.

Marchant finished the race

just before the time cutoff, but the experience lit within him a new competitive fire for long-

distance trail running.

In the 10 years since, Marchant’s completed several ultramarathons of varying distances, including the 120mile Fat Dog in Manning Park, which is considered one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world, according to Outside Online.

Marchant said while he relishes the physical test of running such long distances, it’s the mental toil that attracts him to finding new, longer races to conquer. And few are as daunting as the Moab 240, which is part of the Destination Trail triple crown of endurance races that also includes 200-mile events in Lake Tahoe, CA., and Mount St. Helens in Washington State.

In fact, the Moab race almost broke Marchant’s spirit on its first day, he said.

The weather was warm and dry, the terrain flat, but Marchant said he was discouraged when runner after runner in the field of more than 150 registered participants from around the world kept passing him.

He had to fight through growing doubts about his strategy to stick to a manageable pace of 3 mph. He had to resist the comforting temptations of the Hamburger Rock aid station that he described as an amalgam of a party and a war field hospital.

“It’s just so tempting to get sucked in,” he said of the stop, where there was food, warm beverages, medical aid, massages and cots to sleep on.

Marchant, who ran with all his gear for running at night and in cold weather packed into a backpack because he had no support team, pressed on. He said he didn’t want to disappoint his family and friends, but mostly himself.

“I knew my plan was the right one,” he said.

After a cold, lonely night running in isolation with only

the light from his headlamp to guide him, Marchant started passing other runners who had bolted ahead of him in the race’s opening hours.

“I could see how my place was improving,” he said. “It’s motivating, and then things start to snowball.”

As a runner’s time for ultramarathons is cumulative from the start, including stops for aid, fuel and sleep, Marchant slept only 2.5 hours over the course of the nearly four days.

He said that kind of sleep deprivation can play with your mind.

Hence the odd hallucinations of his family’s ping pong game — he doesn’t even own a ping pong table.

“I got pissed off that I’d have to run around them,” he said.

When delirium happens, Marchant said it’s important to engage another runner in conversation to jolt back to reality — not an easy feat when participants are scattered along hundreds of square miles of rugged terrain.

Marchant’s steady pace got him to the finish almost a day ahead of his anticipated finish. Which presented another challenge — he had no place to sleep as he’d booked a cabin for the next day.

Fortunately, one of the race directors had a spare sleeping bag and was able to find him a vacant tent.

Marchant used only one pair of shoes in the race, but the event took a toll on his feet — he had to speed walk the last 40 miles because of pain and he’s not sure when he might regain feeling in the end of his toes.

But that hasn’t deterred Marchant from eyeing his next challenge. He’s heard rumours of a new 500-mile race being organized.

“The challenge of pushing yourself to the limit, that’s my idea of fun,” he said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC
