Port Moody’s new parking regulations may keep commuters from clogging up Moody Centre streets while they hop on the Evergreen Extension come Dec. 2 but they may also be shortchanging townhouse residents. Jodie LaFleur is one such resident who discovered the new parking limits would mean she couldn’t park on the street during the day and take the SkyTrain to work, even though her employer offers a free transit pass. “I cannot park blocks and blocks away, I have a small child and this just isn’t feasible,” she wrote in an email to The Tri-City News. LaFleur was able to secure

TECH ENTREPRENEUR
‘Never bounded by where the 160 bus goes’ Coquitlam kid’s co. wins U.K. business award SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
A Coquitlam native living in London is celebrating winning the Tech Entrepreneur of the Year award in the inaugural UK Business Awards held last Friday. Parry Malm’s company, Phrasee, was also honoured with the Best New Business award. Launched in February
PARRY MALM 2015, Phrasee uses artificial intelligence to write marketing language better than humans, the company claims, and
already has a roster of large global brands that are using the tool. “If you get promotional emails from big stores, there’s a pretty good chance our software’s artificial intelligence writes those subject lines… and writes them better than human copywriters,” Malm wrote — himself — in an email to The Tri-City News. “Our kit makes brands millions of dollars every month.” Malm said growing up in a tech-minded family in Coquitlam gave him the inspiration to follow a high-tech career, starting with a gig at his
father’s Spring Street engineering company, Carma Systems. He later studied business at SFU before pulling up stakes to try living abroad. “By 2006, I wound up in London with $500 in my bank [account] and not a single connection,” Malm said. He found work quickly, however, and in 2010 was named the commercial director of a tech company. But a rebellious streak prompted Malm to leave the corporate job for the uncertain world of entrepreneurship. “I had the idea for Phrasee, the connections to galvanize its growth and the confidence in
the opportunity,” Malm said, “but I lacked the hard skills.” In early 2015, he joined forces with Neil Yager, an old university friend from North Vancouver, and Victoria Peppiatt, a London pal who had been running a branding agency, in early 2015. This summer, the company closed a £1-million seed funding round, the first venture capital investment in the U.K.’s technology sector after the Brexit referendum. The company now has 15 employees based in Putney, in southwest London. The awards on Nov. 11 have
left Malm, a Dr. Charles Best student and Port Moody secondary grad, both humbled and elated. “Given the isolationist atmosphere in both Britain and the U.S. these days, I think there is a delicious irony in a ‘jobstealing immigrant’ winning this award,” Malm said. “The world is better off open, not closed, and I hope I’m helping to prove that point. “I hope what it shows to TriCity kids like me is you’re never bounded by where the 160 Vancouver bus goes.”

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
From Tri-City schools to outer space for some local student experiments 3 local schools’ experiments in running for int’l space station DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
How does space flight affect the spread of disease? Could concrete be used to construct buildings on Mars? How do you make food last longer during space travel? If those questions seem like pieces of a plot for a science fiction movie, think again. Those questions are being addressed in experiments School District 43 students would like to see performed by astronauts on the International Space Station. And one of those experiments will actually make the trip after 227 proposals were whittled down to three. A finalist will be chosen in December to participate in the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP). “They’re all completely different,” said Dr. Charles Best teacher Wooje Choi, “with one variable: What would happen in microgravity conditions?” Choi who helped review some of the proposals by 1,600 Grade 5 to 12 students along with his colleague Brent Raabe and program supporters Simon Fraser University,
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Far left: Riverside students Alexa Durand and Brenda Shen want to study the curing rate of concrete in a weightless environment and their proposed experiment was one of three that were shortlisted for the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program. Other finalists are Inquiry Hub Grade 10 student Mike Roslikov (left) and Dr. Charles Best students (above) Karina Moreno, Sarah Nobrega, Saba Khangholi and Tessa Tennant. Finger Food Studios, UrtheCast and MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates, said the finalists were narrowed to eight, then three, whose proposals are being sent for further review to Washington, D.C. Only one will be selected for a trip to space. The winning experiments had to be able to fit in a small tube and be carried out by mixing the materials. They were chosen based on originality, possibilities of success in a weightless environment
and how well the proposal was written, said Choi. The eight finalists will be feted at a special event Dec. 1 at SFU.
THE WINNERS ARE... The three winning experiments are: • The team of Charles Best Grade 11 students — Karina Moreno, Saba Khangholi, Sarah Nobrega, Tessa Tennant — wants to study cell division process in microgravity using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a
type of yeast. It could help provide astronauts a cost-efficient way to produce foods and nutritional supplements on the space station. • Riverside Grade12 students Alexa Durand and Brenda Shen want to study the curing rate of concrete in microgravity, specifically concrete created using a mixture based on fly ash. Fly ash concrete can have a reduced curing time and greater strength, and would potentially be used to build infrastructure in microgravity settings.
• Inquiry Hub Grade 10 student Mike Roslikov wants to study the effects of microgravity on cell density and biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus. The purpose of this experiment is to confirm and explain the increased virulence of the bacteria in microgravity conditions. Knowledge about the reproduction speeds might help introduce new protocols to battle with the bacteria during long stays in microgravity. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

The City has introduced a parking plan to help ensure people who live, work and shop in these neighbourhoods continue to have access to on-street parking.
The parking plan includes:
Civic Facilities, 4 hour parking
• a mix of existing and new parking regulations for residential and commercial areas based on time limits;
Commercial Parking
• the installation of parking signs at key points along affected streets (signs will be in place by the first week

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Tech, training to be ready for disaster SD43 takes steps as mid-2000s plan needs overhaul DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
School District 43 is updating its emergency procedures and training its administrators to ensure schools are prepared to deal with disaster. Plans revealed at a board of education meeting Tuesday include getting an emergency operations centre in place, updating procedures so they align with command systems used by police and fire departments, and making sure all school administrators know what to do in an emergency. There will even be an app, developed by the Vancouver School Board, made available to teachers and administrators that lays out the steps to take for each kind of emergency, from security lockdowns to earthquakes. The update comes after SD43 hired a consultant to look at current plans and assistant superintendent Rob Zambrano said it is necessary because there has been a lot of staff turnover since the last overhaul was completed in the mid-2000s. “This is a substantial

Students from Gleneagle secondary school line up during an emergency release drill in May. School District 43 is ramping up its emergency preparedness, beginning with an update of current plans and training of administrators. amount of work but it’s very important,” Zambrano said. “We need a certain level of expertise and we need to make sure that happens universally across the district.” But making sure schools are ready for emergencies has revealed some concerns, such as the need to identify a secondary site for staff and students to be evacuated to in an emergency and that schools be able to hold students for up to five days. Zambrano said it’s not likely that would be necessary because in most cases, students would be collected by parents
and caregivers, but the operational requirement is there and could pose challenges. Port Coquitlam Trustee Michael Thomas also asked about emergency supplies at schools and who should pay for them. The issue surfaced recently after Irvine elementary school in Port Coquitlam had its emergency supplies stolen and parents had to fundraise for their replacement. Zambrano said money for emergency supplies, about $15,000, used to be part of the district budget but in 2014, schools got $500 to top up their emergency kits.
But he admitted there has been little consistency between schools, with the bulk of supplies bought with cash from parent fundraising, resulting in equity issues between schools, and a recommended supply list hasn’t been available for some years. As to theft, Zambrano said it’s a problem for schools that keep supplies outside and he recommended rolling bins that can be brought outside as necessary. But he noted supplying the bins would also require funding.
Emergency prep class in PoCo aimed at helping biz bounce back
Port Coquitlam business owners wanting tips on how to bounce back after a major disaster can attend a free workshop next month. The city’s Emergency Preparedness officer, Tara Stroup, will lead the session, which runs Dec. 6 from 3 to 5 p.m. at PoCo Inn and Suites (1545 Lougheed Hwy.). Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and wild fires as well as man-made accidents such as hazardous goods spills will be addressed. “The more tools our businesses in the community have, the less we have to rely on the province and other agencies to help us get back on our feet,” Stroup said. The workshop comes as a result of last year’s course, in which 25 business owners worked with city officials on their preparedness plans; this year’s workshop already has double the registration, she said. Among the speakers will be representatives from CP Rail, the Insurance Bureau of Canada and an owner who saw her McAllister Avenue business go up in flames last month. To sign up by the Nov. 25 deadline, call 604-927-5460 or email lambertj@portcoquitlam.ca. Meanwhile, PoCo businesses are also asked to complete an online document (portcoquitlam.ca/recoveryform) to alert the municipality about any services they can provide in case of a major emergency.

Mall redevelopment in works in Coquitlam GARY MCKENNA

MAGNIFICENT EUROPE
PoCo looks to speed up downtown revitalization: see story, page 16
The Tri-CiTy News
The company managing Coquitlam Centre has begun initial consultations with the city over redevelopment possibilities for the mall property. And while talks are still in their initial phases, one thing seems certain: There will be more mixed-use developments in the area in the coming decades. “We are imagining intensification of the site,” said Ken Moffat, an asset manager with Morguard, which oversees the mall property. “Expansion of retail. The introduction of some commercial. And most probably the introduction of plenty of residential.” With a large parcel of land right next to a SkyTrain station and a short walk from two others, Moffat said the company is initially focusing on the northeast portion of the property along Pinetree Way, near Lincoln Station. Those projects could get underway in the next few years and may even include some purpose-built rental buildings, he said. At the same time, the company will also begin piecing together a master plan for the entire site, which Moffat said would guide development in
the area for the next 50 to 70 years. “It is a very long-range looking document,” he told The Tri-City News, later adding, “It is not just driven by the coming opening of the Evergreen Line, although that is certainly an immediate factor.” Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning and development, said the mall master plan comes as staff are preparing to draft the City Centre Neighbourhood Plan, which will encompass the mall property and all the way to Guildford Way, reaching the lower Eagle Ridge neighbourhood in the east. He added that Morguard’s initial proposals would likely include extending The High Street onto the mall property. McIntyre noted the trends in shopping mall redevelopment projects, pointing to places such as Lougheed Town Centre and Brentwood Mall in Burnaby, and Oakridge Centre on Vancouver’s west side, which have been transformed into massive mixeduse neighbourhoods over the last few years. He added that
these kinds of projects can be difficult, given the lease agreements held by some of the longer-term tenants in the mall. “They have practical difficulties,” he said. “Some of the major anchor tenants have obligations in parking and view angles… You can’t have a big department store buried back behind the street. It can create some challenges.” Morguard’s plans would also enliven Pinetree Way, according Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill who noted that while the city has gone to great lengths to enhance the thoroughfare and make it more pedestrian friendly, there are only two doors that open up on to the street. A large-scale development might create more activity in the area, O’Neill said, and could even help spur development on the east side of Pinetree Way. “We have all that wonderful sidewalk space and plazas with nothing really on it,” he said. “It is sort of inviting.”

PIPELINE POLITICS
McKinnon to gov.: Deny the pipeline DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
If Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam MP Ron McKinnon has the ear of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion could be a pipe dream. In a letter to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr, and shared widely with his Liberal colleagues and the media, the rookie MP said the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion should be denied because the government “lacks social licence” to proceed with the project. “I appreciate the difficulty the government of Canada has in trying to look after the interests of the entire country,” wrote McKinnon in a letter date stamped Wednesday, Nov. 16. “It is my responsibility as the member of Parliament for CoquitlamPort Coquitlam to represent my constituents’ interests in Ottawa, and not Ottawa’s interests in my riding. I take that role very seriously.” The letter surfaces a month before the federal government is expected to make a decision on the $6.8-billion project that, if approved,
MP RON MCKINNON would triple the capacity of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline, which carries diluted bitumen from oil sands near Edmonton to Burnaby for export, requiring a sevenfold increase in tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet. In his letter, McKinnon describes the opposition to the pipeline expansion in his constituency and among indigenous communities in the Lower Mainland as “overwhelming.” Other concerns listed include the lack of information on the effects the increase on tanker traffic would have on killer whales and other species, and impacts on infrastructure, such as the potential of tankers colliding
with bridges. Noting that his constituents understand the need for pipelines to move oil from Alberta, McKinnon said the worry is that the health, environmental and social costs of a spill in such a populated area are “far too great to allow this project to proceed.” As well, he noted, B.C. would shoulder the overwhelming burden of the benefits flowing to the Alberta from the pipeline expansion, possibly jeopardizing industries such as fisheries, tourism and recreation. “The disadvantages of this project far exceed any advantage for British Columbia,” he wrote. He goes on to say that the ministerial panel looking into the National Energy Board process found gaps in the process, and more consultation on impacted communities and buy-in from indigenous communities are essential before any project such as this should proceed. The federal government is expected to make a decision on the pipeline before Dec. 19. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

ex-B.C. Premier urges ‘plan B’ route for proposed pipeline JEFF NAGEL BlaCk Press
Former B.C. Premier Mike Harcourt is urging the prime minister to insist on a different route for the Trans Mountain pipeline to carry diluted bitumen out to tankers at Tsawwassen or Cherry Point in Washington State, instead of risking massive civil disobedience by opponents in Burnaby. He argued Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline twinning largely has local support along most of the route from Alberta to the B.C. coast so a “plan B” that diverts the pipeline south to a different terminal is worth exploring. “The pipeline by and large has been approved from the oil sands to Surrey,” Harcourt told Black Press. “Where it hits conflict is when it gets to Burnaby and into Burrard Inlet, where one spill would be a disaster.” He said it is imprudent not to look at alternate routing to a less contentious tidewater port than the existing Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. “It avoids some of the real and legitimate fears and concerns people have expressed about tripling the traffic in Burrard Inlet,”said Harcourt, who was NDP premier in 1993 during mass protests against logging in Clayoquot Sound.
Push for B.C. coastal refinery from its main proponent: see page 10
“I’d like to avoid a violent and sustained set of protests.” Activist groups have vowed the $6.8-billion project will hit a wall of opposition, particularly in Metro Vancouver, and comparisons have been made to the violent standoff over a pipeline project in North Dakota. Burnaby Mountain was the site of more than 100 arrests two years ago to make way for Kinder Morgan survey crews. The idea of diverting the pipeline to a different terminal that would keep additional tankers out of Burrard Inlet and Vancouver harbour has previously been raised by Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan and Alberta Premier Rachel Notley. And the concept got a fresh lift this fall when it was flagged for further consideration by a ministerial panel review of the project appointed by the federal government to fill in gaps in the National Energy Board process. Kinder Morgan has so far rejected suggestions of an alternate terminal at Deltaport, saying it would add to the costs and environmental impacts. Vicki Huntington, the independent MLA for Delta South,
said rerouting the pipeline to Deltaport is a “non-starter” because of the critical ecological habitat at the mouth of the Fraser River that would be vulnerable to a spill of bitumen. Michael Hale, a Trans Mountain opponent with the Pipe Up group in the Fraser Valley, said Harcourt is wrong to conclude the pipeline will face less resistance if it only extends as far southwest as Abbotsford or Delta. “Over 90 per cent of B.C. presenters were opposed [during the latest panel hearings] – it didn’t matter if you were from Chilliwack or Burnaby,” he said. Climate change activists in particular who want to keep Alberta oil in the ground will aim to block the pipeline expansion wherever they can in B.C., he said. Nor do specific environmental concerns for the Salish Sea end with a different terminal. A final federal government decision is required by midDecember on the NEB’s recommendation for conditional approval of the Trans Mountain expansion. @jeffnagel

Discussion around potential parking changes began in February, with a public consultation open house in June and an opportunity to submit comments online. The options were limited to a flat four-hour limit applying to residents and visitors or a licence plate registration system for residents-only unlimited street parking and a three-hour limit for visitors. In September, council approved the latter system but with some slight alterations. Residents of single-family homes will have unlimited parking in front of their property but those who live in townhouses will have street parking restricted to four hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., though such a measure did not appear as part of the consultation process. The multi-family restriction applies on several streets between Buller and Queens streets, throughout Klahanie and certain parts of Suter Brook, along the PoMo portion of Dewdney Trunk Road and in parts of Coronation Park. As well, commercial parking is limited to one to four hours,

POMO MAYOR MIKE CLAY depending on the location. Mayor Mike Clay was the only member of council voting against the changes, saying he would have preferred to present the plan to the public to get feedback before finalizing the new regulations. “We have to balance a lot of different interests,” Clay said, noting some form of parking regulation is needed to ensure vehicle turnover and parking availability so that PoMo businesses remain viable. But he acknowledged the approved plan doesn’t take into account the unique situations in different neighbourhoods, such as Coronation Park, where the nature of some streets means residents park
on the street behind them and that solutions such as signs designating parking for a particular block, or a resident decal system, were not considered. Clay also noted that many residents weren’t aware of existing parking regulations that limit street parking to three hours unless it’s in front of one’s own property, and that the new parking management strategy will be an ongoing education process. “It was a rush to get this in place and we didn’t do the amount of consulting we should have,” he said, adding he hopes anyone who has an issue in their neighbourhood will bring their concerns directly to the city. Staff will present an interim report on the parking strategy early next spring. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC
e focus primarily on patient care,” says Paul Sweeney, President of Coastal Sleep, a sleep clinic operating in six communities in the Lower Mainland. “A lot of what we do entails educating the patient about sleep apnea in general, their particular symptoms, and the medical problems they may be facing.” Sleep apnea is a common cause of many sleep disorders and, according to Paul, is far more prevalent than most people think. “Around one in five people have a mild form of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA,” says Paul. “And one in fifteen people have a more severe form. Unfortunately, more than 75 percent of those suffering from some form of sleep apnea have not been diagnosed.” Coastal Sleep has been helping people understand sleep apnea, its causes and symptoms for almost 15 years. Their clinics provide education and treatment in English, French, Punjabi, Mandarin, and Cantonese. “In the past, patients were referred by their family doctor to a sleep therapist at a hospital,” Paul explains. “They needed to spend a night in hospital in order to be tested. The problem was that there tended to be a long waiting list, so a lot of people simply didn’t bother.” In response to the need to test people
in a timely manner, Coastal Sleep offers testing in the comfort of the person’s home. Physicians often refer patients to the clinic for testing or a patient can call for an appointment themselves. First line treatment for sleep apnea involves the use of a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine and mask that’s worn every night. “The masks are easy to wear,” Paul says, “and patients quickly realize the benefits of a good night’s sleep. They have more energy—and are more engaged in life.” For more information about sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment in the Tri-cities area, call Coastal Sleep at 1.877.241.9066, visit their website at coastalsleep.ca or send an email to info@coastalsleep.ca. There is a Coastal Sleep facility in the Tri-cities area located at 602-2950 Glen Drive, Coquitlam. Coastal Sleep can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

COQUITLAM SEARCH & RESCUE
Big, modern & ready for first search Coq. SAR’s new mobile command centre has it all SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
It has been more than four years in the making, the product of countless meetings and determined fundraising efforts, but the work was worth it when Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers gathered to check out their new mobile command centre this week. That so many of them could fit into the truck at once — 20 at one point — is the most obvious marvel after the cramped conditions of the old “bread truck” that served as their mobile command unit for the past two decades. And while none would wish for the day when the new rig will be pressed into service, when it does come, the crew will be ready to tackle a search in even the most unforgiving conditions and locations. “We’ve been drawing it and talking about it for a long time,” Coquitlam SAR spokesperson Michael Coyle told The Tri-City News. Every detail of the gleaming new truck has been planned to the tiniest detail, from the shell right down to the storage bins for energy bars. Canopies extend off the side of the truck, providing shelter from heat and sun or rain. The hard canopy features built-in lighting shining on a large whiteboard where search info can be assembled outside, a drop-down shelf, storage compartments for large items like heavy-duty power cables and

Such a level of preparation — multiple layers of readiness for any number of situations in all sorts of weather conditions — is an occupational hazard of the SAR world, joked Coyle. The same goes for the truck’s interior. One side is dominated by a row of computers; during a search, a volunteer would be at each machine monitoring emails and social media for word of the subject while others would focus on search teams and their locations. A new bank of digital radios means that as searchers communicate with the command centre, the built-in GPS automatically pinpoints them on a constantly updating map.
The other side features sliding pin boards for maps — which come care of SAR volunteer and professional cartographer Steve Chapman — and a white board where all search info can be updated manually. “There were incidents in the old truck where we’d lose power so we have a paper version of everything,” Coyle said. “It’s a mix of high tech and low tech. We don’t want to rely too much on the high tech in case of a disaster.” There are two printers — one an 11x17 format that’s perfect for printing maps that can be sent with searchers heading in to the field, noted SAR volunteer Sandy Burpee, and the other one that can print in a 36”-wide format of any length — for up-to-the-minute maps that need to be created on site. There’s a map drawer in the
front and a meeting area in the back, plenty of light and windows. “It’s bright and clean, lots of big spaces and it’s very heavy duty,” said volunteer Kevin Ristau, who was familiarizing himself with the new radio system when The Tri-City News visited. “It has three times the capability of the old truck.” John Van Seters of Surrey’s Intercontinental Truck Body (ITB) said the level of planning that went into the mobile command centre was beyond anything his company had worked on, including similar military and police vehicles. “This group did an amazing job of balancing their budget and they got a highly effective and large vehicle at a very attractive price point,” Van Seters said. “And that doesn’t just happen.

Wait for the law
W
e appreciate the need to be first in the market but perhaps Cannabis Culture, the new pot shop that opened two months ago in Port Coquitlam, should wait for the law to come around before selling its wares. Company spokesperson Jodie Emery said the business sells to adults 19 years and older with proper identification and is following the Amsterdam model, whereby the sale and possession of small amounts of cannabis at coffee shops for personal use is permitted even though it’s technically illegal. She was buoyed by the news that several U.S. states voted in favour of pot legalization but, as that hasn’t yet happened in B.C., the company is operating in a grey area that is posing challenges to local bylaws staff and the RCMP. And while the company may be able to afford $150 daily fines and other limits placed on it by law enforcement, people who purchase the drugs are putting themselves at legal risk as possession is still a criminal offence in Canada. So in this case, it’s very much buyer beware.

espite the recent federal government promise of extra funding for marine spill response, I completely agree with the 30 environmental organizations that claimed last month that carrying diluted bitumen in tankers along B.C.’s coast should not be allowed. No one has ever recovered even 15% of a conventional crude oil spill, let alone a bitumen spill. For example, Exxon worked for four years — using up to 11,000 people and 1,400 boats — to try to clean up the Valdez Alaska crude spill and recovered only 7% of it. Conventional crude oil floats and, theoretically at least, can be vacuumed or scooped up. Diluted bitumen, on the other hand, does not float in water that is loaded with plankton and sediment, as our coast is. Federal government research shows half of any diluted bitumen spill will sink to the bottom in the first hour. We have no technology to get it back. Much of the rest will end up on the mudflats, sandbars and shoreline like asphalt. Enbridge and Kinder Morgan are good, well-run companies that build and try hard to operate safe pipelines. But governments would be irresponsible to risk our ocean, our shoreline and our fishery by allowing them to
TC
put diluted bitumen in tankers. Kinder Morgan’s existing old pipeline, which was converted to carrying diluted bitumen for tanker export four years ago, should also not be used anymore for that purpose. But saying No to the Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain projects does not prevent Canada from getting its oil resources to markets in the Pacific and Indian oceans in a clean way. All we have to do is build safe bitumen pipelines or transport solid bitumen safely by rail and operate green B.C. export refineries. In the process, we will achieve enormous value-add benefits as tens of thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars of new taxes will be generated. More importantly, we will protect our ocean because the products produced by green refineries — gasoline and diesel fuel — float and evaporate if spilled. Gasoline disappears within two days and diesel within two weeks. As cases in point, the diesel released during the Queen of the North grounding and sinking in 2006 at Gil Island south of Prince Rupert, and the 15-km long diesel slick created when a barge sank in 2007 near Robson Bight, evaporated in less than two weeks. While it is impossible to clean up a spill at sea of crude
oil or diluted bitumen, a spill of refined fuels is far easier to deal with and often requires little or no remediation. Equally importantly, if we build new refineries, we can avoid much of the carbon dioxide emitted by all existing refineries. Engineers estimate an economically viable B.C. refinery will save at least 23 million tonnes of annual CO2 emissions. That is the equivalent of taking five million Canadian cars off the road. Why ship our raw resources offshore and make it easy for foreign companies to degrade the planet using older technology? By keeping refineries in our backyard and ensuring they are green, we will become ecological stewards for the Earth. In fact, if the producers in Alberta, who are currently working hard to find ways to reduce CO2 emissions are able to clean up the extraction process, we will have the cleanest petroleum industry in the world. Most of us agree that we must find a way to solve ecological issues and enable production at the same time or our quality of life and our ability to protect the environment will spiral downward. In this case, modern B.C. export refineries are the answer — tankers carrying diluted bitumen are not.

The Editor, Re. “City should pay to fix historic totem” (Letters, The TriCity News, Oct. 28). How ridiculous to suggest moving Coquitlam’s Centennial totem pole, located behind the tennis courts off Poirier Street, to Town Centre Park. Apart from the cost of moving, it might be further damaged. Fifty years ago, the residents of Coquitlam were asked to buy an inch of the current totem pole for $1. I did and received a certificate that states the fact. I agree it could do with a facelift but where it stand is its home. Maybe we could donate to the repairs and ask the Kwikwetlem First Nation to carve a new totem pole for Town Centre and the people who want it in that area could buy an inch or two at, say, $50 or $100 an inch — inflation? E. Kear, Coquitlam
The Editor, As a single-family homeowner in Port Moody’s Coronation Park neighbourhood, I am unclear as to who is deciding whether we move or not. The city’s survey considers Coronation Park to be 59 homes zoned as singlefamily, six properties with single-family homes but zoned as townhouse and the 88 Balmoral townhouses. The single-family homes are 65% (14.75 acres) of that total land area (22.7 acres) — this means that owners of single family
Fix old totem & get Coronation Park can a new one carved be part of the future homes have only 38% of the vote (59/153). Some people have said it is our responsibility to give up our large properties so that others have places to live. This only seems to be the case in Coronation Park. I chose several singlefamily homes close to the Braid, Brentwood, Oakridge and King Edward SkyTrain stations. Each had a property size of 7,100 to 8,700 sq. ft. and the homes were built between 1912 and 1955; the distance to the stations ranges from 110 to 400 m. (Our home, of a similar
size, was built in 1968.) Here is how Translink describes the King Edward Station: “The neighbourhood surrounding King Edward Station, located at West King Edward Avenue and Cambie Street, is a perfect example of residential Vancouver. Tour the tree-lined streets to find classic character homes, locally owned stores and restaurants and wonderful parks.” I would love such a description for Inlet Station and Coronation Park, and for others to enjoy what we have.

The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president wants assurances from the board of education that any budget surplus goes to the classroom. Ken Christensen raised the issue as the School District 43 board accepted a report Tuesday that detailed the allocation of funds from the $6.5-million surplus left over from the last school year. Most of the funds in the surplus were allocated in September, breaking up the sum into $1.392-million chunks to be spent this year and the next three, plus $1 million to a budget for facilities. But a combination of this year’s surplus, savings and extra revenue — most of which has already been spent on new teachers when schools opened in September, plus technology and an administrator to help with the hiring of educational assistant — left $1.17 million for various programs. “What my membership wants to be assured of is that surplus moneys go back to the classroom,” Christensen said. The district’s acting secretarytreasurer, Chris Nicolls, said 12
teachers and 21.67 FTE educational assistants were hired in September while other funds were prioritized based on the district’s new Directions 2020 Strategic Goals and Objectives. “We’ve actually started to plan ahead and to move forward in support of students with special needs,” Nicolls said. Among the projects approved are funding for: • trades and ACE-It education for students; • emergency preparation and student health and safety initiatives; • student mentoring, selfregulated learning and other professional development support; • annual water testing and emergency lighting testing; • repair of building deficiencies at Pitt River middle school; • and funding for learning services support. The 2020 Strategic Goals and Objectives, publicized this fall, lays out priorities for student success, enhancing learning through technology and fostering a sustainable educational organization. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

DOWNTOWN PORT COQUITLAM
Aiming to speed up revitalization JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
The ripple effect of Port Coquitlam’s planned recreation complex was top of mind yesterday (Thursday) as an advisory group tasked to energize Port Coquitlam’s downtown met for the first time. The group is working with representatives from Cushing Terrell — an American-based firm made up of architects, engineers and planners — to look at how to spur redevelopment quicker in the area bounded by Wilson Avenue, Mary Hill Road, Kingsway Avenue/CP Rail line and Maple Street. (The community rec complex will be located on the edge of the core, on a 15-acre campus where the PoCo rec complex now sits.) Chaired by Mayor Greg Moore, the group will create a Downtown Action Plan with the aim to draw a wider reach of services and amenities to Shaughnessy Street and its surrounding roads. As well, the group will also address how the city can buy and sell land for new development and create new opportunities and incentives for land owners and businesses.
POCO MAYOR GREG MOORE Moore said the city’s current Downtown Plan from 1998 “is a strong vision but we want to have an action plan that lays out the details about how we can get there sooner. This is really the boots-on-the-ground plan,” he said. Moore pointed to a Shaughnessy Street property that has been up for sale for a year since a major fire ripped through the building. “We want to know why hasn’t it sold. Is it because of land use policy or economic development? We can make those changes.” One of the challenges with building in PoCo’s downtown is the high-water table, he said. Developers can’t go down for deep underground parking un-
less they build a “tank,” which is cost prohibitive given the lower value of PoCo land compared with Vancouver, where it’s an option. “The question is, how do we overcome that?” the mayor asked. The advisory group, which has a six-month mandate, also includes downtown property owners Kumar Nagpal, Eric S.H. Lee, Alex Su, Donald Liu and Harpreet Saran; business owner Catherine Polonio of Coquitlam Florist; Patrick Gunville of Realty Executives; Carol Metz Murray of the Tri-City Transitions Society, representing non-profit groups; downtown resident Drew McArthur; and community member Christie Potter. Susanna Walden and Brad Fenton of the Downtown Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association are also on board. The Downtown Action Plan, once adopted, will be included as part of the city’s new official community plan. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/downtown for more information. • For more details on the community rec complex, go to portcoquitlam.ca/recplan. jcleugh@tricitynews.com @jcleughTC

Conservation looking for elk poacher in upper Pitt There are just 70 of rare elk species left in the area GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
There has been a setback in the effort to re-establish the Roosevelt elk population in the upper Pitt Lake area after a poacher or poachers shot and killed one of the animals late last month. Now, B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service is on the hunt for the person or people responsible and is asking the public for any information that could help in the investigation. “We think most likely… there are other people out there that know about this but aren’t saying anything,” said conservation officer Robin Sano. “We are requesting information from anyone that may have seen any suspicious activity. The 700- to 800-lb., five-point male was found near Vickers Creek in the northeast part of Pitt Lake but likely floated there
from further north. Conservation officers located the animal on Nov. 3, but Sano said it was likely shot late last month. The elk was hit in the eye and in the shoulder, and there was no evidence that anyone tried to harvest the meat. Roosevelt elks had been extinct in the area ever since over-hunting decimated the population a hundred years ago. But a provincial effort to re-establish the species in southwestern B.C. led to 23 of the animals being introduced into upper Pitt Lake in 2004 and 2005. Since then, their numbers have grown steadily, reaching approximately 70 by the most recent counts. The population is stable enough that four hunting licences were issued by the provincial government last year but Sano said the dead elk found this month was hunted illegally. Anyone with information about the shooting can call the Conservation Officer Service on the Report all Poachers and Polluters line, 1-877-952-7277. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Two Coquitlam teens will receive their silver level Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in Victoria this weekend. Heather Chow and Neor Tiku will be presented with their accolades by Judith Guichon, the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. The pair are among 28 youth across the province to get the award on Saturday at Government House. “We are grateful to her honour for presenting the awards,” said Sushil Saini, executive director of the B.C. and Yukon division, in a news release. “Her presence reinforces the tremendous achievement reached by these youth. These achievers truly are the leaders of today and tomorrow.” To earn the silver award, participants are required to complete four sections of the program over a year: service to community, development of a skill, physical recreation and an adventurous journey in nature. Besides a lapel pin and certificate, participants also earn two Grade 11 high school credits.

AT HOME Karen Curtis: This is the only recipe that I make every year without fail. ‘Ishy’ was my granny’s sister. ISHY’S SHORTBREAD
• 3 ½ cups flour • ½ cup rice flour • 1 cup berry sugar • 2 cups butter • ½ tsp salt Cream the butter, then stir in the remaining ingredients. The dough will be very stiff. Pat the dough into a 12 x 18 jelly roll pan. Prick the surface of the dough all over with a fork. Bake at 300 F for about an hour. The edges will start to brown. Cut the shortbread into fingers as soon as the pan is removed from the oven. Let the shortbread cool in the pan before removing.
Gary McKenna: After braving winter weather and crowded shopping malls, who couldn’t use a holiday drink? The bourbon sour is a refreshing cocktail that is fun to make — and consume. BOURBON SOUR
• 2 oz bourbon • 1 large egg white • 3/4 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice • 3/4 oz of simple syrup • bitters Throw all the ingredients in a shaker with ice, mix and enjoy.

ARE YOU DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS? With the holiday season here, sweet treats are all around us. As delicious as they are, they are unfortunately the leading cause of tooth decay.
at Place des Arts
Here are a few tips on how to keep your teeth healthy: • Go sugar-free whenever possible – Whether you’re buying or baking there are usually options for sugar free or reduced sugar treats • Use a straw – Certain beverages have high amounts of acid that can eat away at the enamel on your teeth • Chew sugar-free gum – After snacking on sweets, chewing sugar-free gum can help to reduce the amount of bacteria that sugar leaves in your mouth
2016 nov 7 - dec 16
• Drinking water can help to rinse off some of the acid that sticks Dr. Myrna Pearce
• Carry a toothbrush and toothpaste in your purse or bag when you go to holiday parties

“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.

A New Life at Tsawwassen Shores’
Pelican Cove Community
S
tacey and Brad Kahn spent months looking to buy a family home in a neighbourhood that would offer them a real sense of community for their two young sons. “We were renting a house in Steveston and for us to buy there was way too expensive,’ says Stacey Kahn. “A friend told us about Tsawwassen Shores so we drove out to check them out.” Within an hour, the young couple knew they’d found the right home for their young family. By the following weekend, they had purchased their first home. “We absolutely fell in love with the community feel,” she says, adding for such a high-quality home, the value was outstanding. “We also really respected the reputation of Aquilini Development.” Besides waking up in the morning to the stunning ocean views, Kahn went on to say that the other big draw for them was the easy
access to miles of sandy trails and dyke paths to walk or cycle along. After successfully selling out of Phase 3, Tsawwassen Shores unveils its newest project – Pelican Cove.

For a little colour, give winter porch pots a try IN THE GARDEN
BRIAN MINTER
I
love the idea of continuing colour into the winter months using outside porch pots. What makes a great outdoor winter pot? It is a beautifully assembled collection of hardy evergreen and deciduous plants that really pop in winter — or it could be an arrangement of unique cut branches - artistically arranged in an attractive container. In addition to looking amazing, it needs to withstand the abuse of winter weather (with some protection in the worst conditions) and still look great. This whole idea of winter pots started about ten years ago in independent garden stores and has blossomed into a mainstream winter culture. I consider creating winter containers an art form and like all great containers, no matter the time of the year, they should be so much more than just okay. I would like to see them personalized and brought to a much higher level. Porch pots may be the only ‘garden’ you have in winter, so let’s make them spectacular.
As with most things in life, you need to have a strategy for success. Winter presents a very different environment than the one enjoyed during the warm days of spring and summer, so a few key issues need to be addressed. First is the container. You need a suitable size and adequate sturdiness to withstand winter winds and driving rain. The soil needs to be very open and porous and even if you use a high porosity mix, like Sunshine #4 or ProMix HP, it’s important to add a one-third measure of fine fir or hemlock bark mulch or sawdust to get the high level of porosity you need. In winter, roots survive far better in very well drained mixes. Excess moisture can damage roots as it freezes. Just the opposite is true when using cut branches. To keep the stems fresh and in place, you need heavy wet soil and surprisingly, most potting soils, if saturated with moisture, are great. The weight of wet soil will also keep the pot steady in blustery weather. When creating a container of cut greens, you need a mix of greens that will withstand winter cold and not desiccate in windy conditions. Pine is, by far, the best. Both the soft white pine (Pinus strobus) and scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris), blue spruce (Picea glauca) and noble and silver fir (Abies nobilis), when cut in late October
and November, should last until the weather warms up in spring. Soft textured cedar (Thuja plicata) and weeping hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) are nice looking but they are more susceptible to drying out. The colour, shape, texture and fragrance of these cut boughs are delightful. Misting them with water occasionally or leaving them out in winter rains will help keep their moisture content at an optimum level. Once you arrange the greens into the style you love, the next step should be layering in colourful stems of shrub dogwoods. I particularly like the vibrant red stems of Cornus ‘Sibirica’ , the yellows of C. ‘Flaviramea’ and the yellow and orange stems of C. ‘Midwinter Fire’. Arranged among the greens, they jump out. The pure white stems of birch, especially ones with nicely textured bark, are fabulous as well. Not to be outdone, the curly willows (Salix ‘Tortuosa’) especially the golden and red stemmed varieties, add a whole new dimension of twists and curls that play with your eyes. This is where artistry brings your arrangements to life — a few focal points work wonders. Large colourful cones, like the long gently curved cones of white pine (Pinus strobus), naturally frosted with hardened sap, are among the best. The long thin cones of norway
perched on a few twigs, fit in nicely but avoid any cheesy stuff. Keep your arrangements looking very elegant.
spruce (Picea abies) are nice to work with too. There are many pine cones that look at-
tractive, like P. ponderosa or its larger cousin P. arizo- nica and if you simply touch the tips of each cone with some white latex paint, it creates that fantastic ‘fresh snow’ look. Layering in some colourful berries adds another level of richness to your arrangements. Perhaps the very best are the berries of Ilex verticillata or those of deciduous holly. These also make wonderful zone 4 garden plants. Their vibrant red and now gold berries will make your arrangements rock. If you’d like to bling up your arrangements and I certainly do, incorporate some larger glass stem balls. I like to use muted tones for a very classy look. Well-made artificial birds,
In zone 6 and higher, a tropical look is very much ‘in’. To create this look, use native greens and then fill in with stems of evergreen magnolia. Their big rich shiny green leaves and brown undersides add a whole different perspective. These leaves will tolerate light frosts and they are unique and fun. Large proteas, from Australia and other southern countries, have an amazing cold tolerance and are truly eye-popping as focal points. Exotic dried tropical cones, seed pods and dried foliage add quite a new dimension for an elegant look and a nice tropical Christmas touch. If you love creating living arrangements, the many new compact conifers and broad-
leaved plants, of all shapes and sizes, offer possibilities we’ve never had before. Tall thin yews (Taxus), columnar boxwood (Buxus ‘Graham Blandy’) and Japanese holly (Ilex ‘Sky Pencil’) are just a few of the uprights that add vertical lift. Fillers, like the fluffy orange Thuja ‘Rheingold’ and T. ‘Golden Tuffet’, add texture and focal points. Spill-overs, such as the compact ‘Gold Thread’ cypress, Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Filifera Aurea’ and the wonderful new evergreen carex grasses, like the vibrant ‘Everillo’, the shiny rich ‘Everlime’ and the old standby ‘Evergold’, just finish things nicely. All of these will tolerate zone 6 and higher. Adding value to living evergreen planters is the same as for fresh green arrangements. You don’t absolutely need one but a bow of sinamay looks rather charming spilling over and their tails trailing in among the greens, again playing nicely with your eyes. Adding clear mini lights or LED lights will make all your porch pots, both cut greens and living planters, really sparkle. I get excited about these amazing creations that we can enjoy for the Christmas season and right through winter. After Christmas, take out the obvious holiday décor and add pussy willow stems and bird feeders. Have some fun.

AAA FOOTBALL
Cents in the hunt for the B.C. banner Coquitlam club heads to B.C. Place for quarterfinal GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
There will be two Tri-City teams vying for a provincial championship in AAA high school football this year. The Centennial Centaurs eked into the quarterfinals after defeating Belmont secondary last Friday at Percy Perry Stadium. With the win, the playoffs now move to B.C. Place Stadium, where the Cents will take on South Delta this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. The Sun Devils could be touch competition for the Coquitlam club. South Delta wrapped up the regular season with a 4-2 record, which was good enough for third place in the Western Conference, and are coming off of 53-7 win over Handsworth secondary last weekend. But Centennial has proven to be resilient all season, amassing an impressive 5-2 record for a club that has been
struggling in recent years. This will be the first time the Centaurs have been in the provincial championship conversation in many years. One club that has experience playing under the dome at B.C. Place is the Terry Fox Ravens. As the top team in the Eastern Conference with a 7-0 record, the Ravens had a bye in the first week of the postseason, giving them more time to prepare against Victoria’s Mount Douglas secondary, who they play this Friday at 3:30 p.m. These two clubs have history. In 2013, the Rams hung on for a 32-27 win over the Ravens in the provincial championship final, taking home their third-straight B.C. title. Last season, Mount Douglas ended the year for Fox after defeating the PoCo club 53-20 during the semifinals. Kickoff for the Rams and Ravens contest is at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

PoCo Pirates plunder gold in Powell River Midget squad defeats Oceanside in tourney final It was all hands on deck for the C5 Port Coquitlam Pirates, who defeated Parksville’s Oceanside 4-2 in the championship game of the Powell River Midget Tournament last weekend. Oceanside opened the scoring but PoCo responded with four unanswered goals in the win, before the Vancouver Island squad scored their second goal of the game in the last two minutes of the third period. “Each and every player played their hardest and never gave up,” said head coach Rich Evans. “That’s why we won this tournament.” Led by team captain Liam MacKinnon, the Pirates went 2-0-1 in round robin play on Saturday, with six players picking up four points or more on their way to the final.
