The story may contain disturbing content; reader discretion is advised. A Dutch man accused of cyberbullying Port Coquitlam student Amanda Todd pleaded not guilty to five charges at BC Supreme Court in New Westminster this week — a decade after her death. On Monday, Aydin Coban of The Netherlands stood before Madam Justice Martha Devlin and the jury in Courtroom 209 to formally deny the charges of • extortion

• importing and distributing child pornography • possession of child pornography • communicating via computer with the intent to lure a child • criminal harassment None of the allegations has been proven in court. In her opening statement, Louise Kenworthy, the lead prosecutor in the seven-week high-profile trial, outlined how the Crown says it will prove that Coban was behind 22 fake online accounts and how there was a “persistent campaign of online sextortion” against Todd between November 2009 and February 2012. In her address to the 12-person jury, Kenworthy alleged that Coban used Facebook, Skype, YouTube SEE

and Gmail to trap Amanda Todd, forcing her to take off her clothes for personal shows under threat of exposing the explicit images he captured of her to her friends and family. That happened on several occasions, Kenworth alleged, including twice before the Christmases of 2010 and 2011. Crown counsel also alleged Coban sent topless photos and video links of her to the students and staff at her school, which prompted Todd to switch schools. On Monday afternoon, Crown called its first witness, Amanda Todd’s mother, Carol, a School District 43 educator, who discussed her late daughter’s use of social media between the ages of 12 and 15, before her death on Oct. 10, 2012. Carol Todd spoke about a Facebook message she received on Dec. 22, 2010, at 6 p.m. — but read it the following day — from someone named “Alice Mcallister.” In that message, which was distributed to her friends and family, was a hyperlink to an adult porn site called motherless.com, she stated, as well as a topless image of her daughter. Carol Todd said she didn’t click on the link to watch the video because “I understood what we were seeing and what was done was child pornography.” Todd said RCMP came to her Port Coquitlam home

at around 2 a.m. on Dec. 24, 2010, for a security check on Amanda, who was living with her father at the time. Todd said her daughter was a regular user of social media, having accounts in her name, as well as aliases on such platforms as Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Twitter and Skype.

SINGING VIDEOS

Amanda posted videos of herself singing, and she was fascinated with the digital performances and outreach of such celebrities as Justin Bieber, Todd said. By 2012, Amanda had 1,279 Facebook friends, the court heard. Todd said she read a second message from “Alice

agreed to report social media incidents to the RCMP. “She was scared. She was frightened,” Todd said, adding her anxiety escalated. “She was all over the place ... but she wanted something to be done about it.” That fall, Amanda asked her mother if she could return home; however, Carol said the pair was to seek counselling about her attitudes and behaviours on social media. “It solidified and bonded our relationship,” Carol remembered. Still, the anonymous threats carried on. “With each piece of messaging that she received, her distresses increased because at the time she felt like she was being followed and

On Jan. 26, 2011, Amanda and her parents visited the Coquitlam RCMP detachment to discuss Amanda’s use of social media. “She was quiet,” Todd testified. “She appeared to have issues with sharing with what it was we all saw. It appeared her behaviours were that of belligerence but, in talking with Amanda later, it was more about shame, guilt and afraid of getting in trouble.” At school, Todd said, her daughter was bullied and cyberbullied by her peers because of the Dec. 22, 2010, message that they also received. Todd said her daughter promised to share security concerns with her and

stalked by someone who wasn’t in our community,” Todd testified. Todd continued with her testimony on the witness stand on Tuesday, telling the court about the messages her daughter received that affected her mental health and made her fearful of returning to school. Amanda asked her mother, “Mom, what are we going to do?” “She was afraid now what it would be like going back to school. She was distressed and I was distressed with her,” Todd told the jury. By December 2011, Todd said Amanda stopped going to school because of her fear of her peers, as well as her anxiety and PTSD.

STRICT RULES

Todd told the court that she had strict rules in her Port Coquitlam home about Amanda’s prominent use of social media channels. During cross-examination by defence lawyer, Joe Saulnier, he asked Todd about ways she tried to keep Amanda safe online. She said Amanda agreed to take a break but, after a few months, Carol and Norm Todd agreed to allow their daughter “to return to the Facebook world.” Carol Todd told the jury that Amanda occasionally blocked her mother, who was Amanda’s Facebook friend, from monitoring her account. On Tuesday, the father of Amanda Todd took the

stand, reiterating his exwife’s testimony about concerns for their late daughter’s use of social media.

‘A BIG FOCUS’

Norman Todd said he knew Amanda posted singing videos on YouTube and was aware she was a regular Facebook user. Her computer and mobile phone were “a big focus for her.” Still, Amanda also shared disturbing messages with him that she had received. “Somebody was stalking her online, the pedophile,” Norman Todd said. He testified that Amanda ran into problems at Westview and Maple Ridge Secondary schools, including a physical fight in February 2012. Const. Ryan Henley, the third Crown witness, told the jury that he was a youth resource officer in Maple Ridge in 2011 and, during that time, he knew Amanda and the files she was associated with. He cited an incident in 2011 when someone named “Katie Hutchkins” emailed the school administration at Westview Secondary, providing hyperlinks to her online activity and warning staff that it was their duty to report her to authorities. The now-retired constable said he reported the email to the Major Crimes Section at the Ridge– Meadows detachment, and forwarded it to Coquitlam RCMP to investigate. The trial continues.

Haggis, highland dancing, and more: A celebration of all things Scottish in the heart of Coquitlam ScotFestBC: The British Columbia Highland Games marks 90-years in BC It was Christmastime in 1997 when an episode of Seinfeld brought the term “feats of strength” to the public consciousness. For those of Scottish heritage, however, these words signified something eminently meaningful for centuries before, and it wasn’t a laughing matter. It was a serious competition, and it was serious business. Turn the clock back 700-years, and the history books will show Scottish clans competing against one another in what’s termed “heavy events,” which are among the oldestcontested sports in the world, encompassing a series of nine feats-of-strength events. In the 19th century, these “games” became the inspiration for the modern-day Olympics. This connection to that past, and a celebration of the present, will be front and centre at the upcoming ScotFestBC: The British Columbia Highland Games, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in Coquitlam – and 90th birthday provincewide – on June 17 and 18 in Town Centre Park. It is the largest event celebrating Scottish and Celtic culture in Metro Vancouver and returns with its first full-scale production since before the COVID-19 pandemic. “The core elements of a Highland Games are the highland dance competition, piping and drumming competitions, and the heavy event athletic competition,” explains ScotFestBC executive director Mike Chisholm. “So, you have people who are coming for those core elements of the games that are thrilled, but those who are coming to experience what the games are like also get to see everything else that happens around it.” The list of everything is extensive and geared towards all ages and ethnicities: Celtic music from Juno nominated Beòlach from Nova Scotia, fantastic live bands, unique vendors, whisky tasting, kids’ activities, an artisan market, British cars and 15 food trucks.

And while the Games remain a Scottish and Celtic celebration at their core, Chisholm quickly points out that the event is for everyone.

and what the hallmarks of the culture and the nation are, the word ‘commitment’ immediately rolls off Chisholm’s tongue.

“If this event were being held in Scotland, it would be purely Scottish. But this event is being held in Canada, and we’re not the only immigrants here. The neighbours around us are from all the countries of the world, and we invite them to visit and come to our event,” he says.

A commitment to music, athleticism, language and to nation building during Canada’s formative years – Scots helped establish Canada’s banking systems and universities and played a major role in building this country’s infrastructure. Those stories get passed on during workshops, looking back at Scottish cultural icons and contributors to this country.

To that end, cultures from India, Peru, Germany, China, Japan, Brazil, local First Nations, and Africa – among others – will be feted and showcased on the Heritage Stage with hosts Mike Viens, Mike MacDonald and Paul Manocha. Born in Nova Scotia in a strong highland Scottish community, when asked what it means to be Scottish

“I want kids to come and see people wearing their kilts and being proud of their background. And to see other nations sharing that fun,” says Chisholm “I want people from Hungary, for example, to enjoy Scottish highland dancing. I want our bagpipers to listen

to Punjabi music and enjoy the dancing. That’s the beauty of Canada. You can be proud of your background, show that pride, and be in a place where others can see it and realize that being proud of a culture, even if it’s not your own, is normal.” While a scaled-back version of the event took place in late 2021, this year’s ScotFestBC will be the first, proper, fullscale games since 2019. “People are excited,” says Chisholm. “Given the situation we’ve gone through over the past two years, there is a lot of pent-up energy and people want to get out. And the Games is the perfect outdoor place to do that” Don’t miss out! Book your tickets today.

Reduce the appearance of wrinkles up to 68%

No charges after man arrested Arrest occurred at Hunt’s home last Friday

WRINKLE AND FROWN LINE CREAM: • For women & men of all ages and skintypes • Reduces the look of wrinkle depth up to 68% • 5 creams in one: A wrinkle cream, day cream, night cream, moisturizer, & make-up base

DIANE STRANDBERG, KYLE BALZER newsroom@tricitynews.com

A close family member of Trina Hunt says the release on Monday of a man who was arrested last Friday (June 3) is “another blow” in their quest for justice for the woman whose body was found near Hope three months after she disappeared from her Port Moody home in January 2021. Stephanie Ibbott, who is Hunt’s cousin-in-law, said the arrest should have been a “reason to celebrate” what would have been the dead woman’s 50th birthday Monday (June 6). Three days earlier, police had descended on Hunt’s Heritage Mountain home. Neighbour Mark Tonello told the Tri-City News one person was removed from the home in handcuffs at around 4 p.m. He said the initial police involved in last Friday’s arrest appeared to be plainclothes officers. “And then a couple of minutes later, about four Port Moody Police Department vehicles showed up with their lights on,” Tonello said. He added several police vehicles remained on the scene after the man was taken away. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) confirmed an arrest was

made at the home in connection with Hunt’s disappearance and murder. Spokesperson Sgt. David Lee said the man was co-operative when officers entered the home, spoke with him and took him into custody. Less said investigators were able to obtain “sufficient information” that led to the arrest. “This is a complex investigation, beyond the arrest,” he said, adding that he couldn’t provide more information out of concern for jeopardizing the case. “The arrest was part of the investigative process,” Lee said. “The investigation is ongoing and continuing.” Ibbott said the subsequent release of the suspect is disappointing, but his arrest could serve as a warning. “This is a warning to the person or people that did that [killed Hunt]” she said. “I think this is their warning that IHIT has not forgotten.” Hunt’s death was confirmed as a homicide less than three months after her remains were found in Silver Creek, near Hope. She had been reported missing to Port Moody police on Jan 18.

In the days and weeks following Hunt’s disappearance, the community rallied to conduct several searches through local forests, hoping to find her or some sort of evidence that could help investigators locate her. According to the #JusticeForTrina Facebook page, more than 500 volunteers spent 1,200 hours searching 2,000 km of land — about the distance from Port Moody to Los Angeles. On June 1, 2021, members of Hunt’s family announced a $50,000 reward for information that could lead to an arrest and potential charges. Five days later, IHIT executed search warrants on two homes, including Hunt’s and one in Mission, where a vehicle was taken away for evidence. Since then, though, police have released no other information to the public. Anyone with information regarding Hunt’s homicide can contact IHIT at 1-877551-4448 or email ihitiinfo@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca. They can also contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.solvecrime. ca.

Build partnerships and hire Indigenous people, KFN chief urges business crowd Hall is first speaker in Chamber's Lunch with Leaders series

HISTORY

JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The chief of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation (KFN) asked Tri-City business leaders and politicians this week for specific actions to heed the call for reconciliation. Last Thursday (June 2), Chief Ed Hall addressed the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce during its inaugural Lunch with Leaders series to forge partnerships with the First Nation that has reserves in what is known today as Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. His comments came at the start of National Indigenous Peoples History Month. Hall also asked for more acknowledgement for sharing its unceded lands, noting he’s pleased with the progress made to date and the measures taken to pay respect to the ancestral territory. Over the past few years, since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its 94 calls to action, Hall said he has fielded

hundreds of emails from industry leaders and others wanting to make a change. “It’s uplifting to know that people are reaching out.” Urging business leaders to hire Indigenous people, Hall also told the Chamber crowd at the Vancouver Golf Club about advancements since he was elected chief four years ago; his four-year term is up in March 2023. Although he didn’t mention the ongoing land claims

negotiations, Hall touched on efforts to revitalize the Halkomelem language, restore the salmon run in the Coquitlam watershed and erect public art pieces that bring meaning to KFN’s 10,000-year history in the area. House posts at səmiq̓ʷəʔelə (pronounced Suh-mEE-kwuh EL-uh), formerly known as Riverview Hospital, as well as at the Coquitlam campus of

Douglas College, and murals by Rosalie Dipcsu highlight artistic and cultural pride for the KFN, said Hall whose name in Halkomelem is sχəpχeyləm si:ýém. During his talk, Hall also pointed to the future of IR2, a 200-acre parcel in Port Coquitlam that’s poised for commercial, light industrial and medium-density housing. In March, the 121-member Nation, of which 37

Hall said a land-use plan is anticipated by the end of the year, along with an environmental management plan. “We excited for the journey ahead,” he said. The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce’s next Lunch with Leaders is scheduled for Oct. 6. The speaker is not yet confirmed.

Sun shines on market's new location DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

A rare sunny day brought crowds to the opening day of the Port Coquitlam Farmers Market at its new location last Thursday (June 2). Mayor Brad West joined

the festivities to welcome vendors and shoppers at the new market location at the Terry Fox Hometown Square on Kelly Avenue, behind the Port Coquitlam Community Centre. There was a celebratory air to the opening day of the market, where more than two dozen vendors from

across the Lower Mainland showed up to sell their crafts, food or beverage products. "Normally we'd have more vegetables," noted KC Ho, a farmer from Richmond, who brought his peppers, cucumbers, lettuce and other vegetables to the market. The cold spring has de-

layed the vegetable crop. While musician Caden Knudsen played guitar and sang, shoppers milled around the stalls, purchased rolled ice cream from a food truck or sipped cider and other locally brewed beverages. The farmers market runs every Thursday. For more photos follow us on Instagram #tricitynews

Outpost is a new frontier in condo marketing New café and bar will eventually also sell condos MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

A Langley-based developer is looking to change the condo sales experience in Port Moody. By not even selling condos. Marcon has converted the former sales centre at 3001 St. Johns St. for its George and Will condo and townhouse projects to Outpost, a pop-up community hub where people can meet for coffee, craft beer, learn about unique local products, listen to live music, get some work done or just hang out. While a portion of the site will eventually be used to market the developer’s next project in the city, Hue, the reimagined sales space is really about community, said Marcon’s brand partnerships and event manager, Mandy Yacoub. She said people in the market for a new home are tiring of talking to sales people and touring mocked-up model suites. “It’s reinventing the

sales centre,” Yacoub said. “There’s fatigue in the market so we have to make it interesting and different.” The Outpost in Port Moody is the company’s first stab at changing things up. It’s expected to operate for at least a year, then the concept will move on to other cities around Metro Vancouver. The 2,200 sq. ft. space evokes the look and feel of a high-end airport lounge where travellers relax and recharge between flights.

Its centrepiece is a fully equipped barista station and craft brewery bar featuring coffee, sandwiches and pastries by Vancouver’s Timbertrain Coffee Roasters and a selection of beers from North Point Brewing in North Vancouver that’s also created a special Good Company IPA collaboration with Port Moody’s five resident craft brewers just for the pop-up. At the entrance, and along some of the warm wood

walls, are curated displays of lifestyle products, like olive oils and balsamic vinegars from Port Moody’s own Olive the Best, towels and robes from the Tofino Towel Compay, wellness products from Tallu & Co, fine goods and flowers from Elderberry Floral, which is just down the street, as well as skincare items from The Wilds Skincare. One corner has been devoted to Vancouver Run Company, which will lead

running groups into surrounding neighbourhoods. Yacoub said all of the products are local, or from British Columbia purveyors. And while visitors won’t be able to buy them directly on site, each display is accompanied by an information card and QR code that links directly. “Our intention is to really promote local businesses.” Along with several work stations that have electrical outlets and robust WiFi connections, there’s soft corner couches, chairs, padded benches and tables for gathering, as well as a selection of board games. Out back, cloistered from the adjacent parking lot and passing traffic by tall shrubbery and planters, is a 1,200

sq. ft. patio that will feature live music every Thursday night as well as trivia nights. Other programming in the planning stages include visits from food trucks and a farmers market. Local community groups and charitable organizations will also be able to access the space for their event. It’s all about cultivating community, said Nic Paolella, Marcon’s vice-president of development. “We want to go beyond just developing buildings to developing vibrant and exciting foundations and futures for local businesses, residents and visitors alike.” Outpost officially opens June 11.

BC Liberals level playing field

Last Week t

or the first time in almost five years the BC Liberals have come out of a legislature session looking much stronger than they did when it started. For the past four years, the NDP has had a free ride of sorts in the house. As I have noted here before, the pandemic pushed the usual political issues aside and made it difficult for the Opposition to get much media coverage and as a result the public’s attention. That situation, coupled with the fact the party seemed to be in denial for so long that it was no longer in government, meant the BC Liberals were dragging their heels for the longest of times. It appears those gloomy days are decidedly over. The return of Kevin Falcon to the legislature to

lead the party appears to be a big reason. Falcon is clearly a step or two above the performance of his predecessor, Andrew Wilkinson. His aggressive and energetic approach has clearly lit a fire under his caucus. The NDP members privately complain Falcon is also bombastic, over the top in his attacks and is prone to spouting misleading statements. There were occasional moments of frustration on the NDP side this session, which we haven’t really seen since the party formed power in 2017. Some of that frustration was shown by Premier John Horgan, who dropped an infamous “f-bomb” in response to some incessant heckling from the BC Liberals. As an aside, Horgan did

not have the same dominating presence during the past session that he had in previous ones. This is totally understandable, given his treatment for cancer, but he is his government’s No. 1 asset so even a slight slippage can rub off on his caucus. Now, all this is not to suggest the BC Liberals have completely escaped the political wilderness when it comes to actually winning elections. The electoral demographics in Metro Vancouver – where the majority of electoral ridings are located – are changing quickly and the BC Liberals have yet to show evidence they know how to tap into that changing electorate. Judging from the make-up of their caucus, the BC Liberals tilt much more to the conservative

end of the spectrum rather than the liberal end, which may make it harder to make inroads in Metro Vancouver. Horgan is still a popular figure, and the government appears to continue to be more popular than any of the alternatives, despite the mounting problems on its plate. Yet Falcon and his party can finally take credit for inflicting some political wounds on their adversaries, rather than ending a legislature session by nursing their own. The political playing field has become level again. That seemed a distant possibility when the pandemic began, but here we are. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

DRUG POSSESSION

Decriminalization is a step in the right direction The Editor: As news breaks that B.C. has become the first province in Canada to decriminalize small-scale illicit drug possession, it is important to consider this milestone as a step in the right direction. This decision will benefit taypayers, people who use drugs, law enforcement, and friends and family members looking to support those with substance use issues. Firstly, let’s make it clear: there is a big difference between decriminalization of illicit substances, and legalization of illicit substances. With decriminalization

comes non-criminal responses to small-scale possession of illicit substances — up to 2.5 grams of opioids, MDMA, methamphetamines, and cocaine. These responses may include fines or warnings, but possession of illicit substances won’t have criminal ramifications. Legalization of these substances would mean a regulated, safe supply – much like how alcohol and cannabis are currently offered. Though the difference between legalization and decriminalization can be confusing, it’s important to re-

member that we are only set to decriminalize — which is a great start towards eventual legalization. In 2023, when decriminalization kicks in, people possessing small amounts of illicit drugs will likely start to be less stigmatized. The stigma around people who use drugs tends to be that their drug use is a choice, they’re undeserving of the same services that the rest of society is. The reality is that most people overdosing are using their drugs alone, in private residences. These same people feel deep shame in their

drug use — therefore preventing them from accessing drug treatment services, disclosing their substance use to family or friends, and putting themselves at extreme risk of drug poisoning when using alone. I am confident that positive results will come from this decision – but it eventually needs to turn into a safe, legalized drug supply, so people who use drugs don’t have to worry about fentanyl/benzos poisoning or the deadly stigma around their usage.

MOCK COLLISION

The blood was fake, but the message was real First responders add to the intensity of crash scenario KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Drama students at Heritage Woods Secondary school flexed their acting abilities with a very serious message recently. In front of hundreds of their classmates, three teens enacted a single-vehicle collision with a tree on

David Avenue in front of the school. One young woman in the vehicle was seriously “injured.” Another suffered minor injuries while the driver was found to be under the influence after a breathalyzer administered by Port Moody police detected alcohol. The gravity of the incident was enhanced by realistic makeup simulating the injuries and the attendance of first responders including firefighters and paramedics who had to use the Jaws of

Life to cut the victims from the shattered vehicle, then transport them for medical care. Grade 12 student Sienna Da Silva-Rolph said she hopes her portrayal of the drunk driver, that included being walked to a police cruiser in handcuffs, sinks in with her classmates. “I’m hoping they listened

and they noticed what happened today and decide not to do what my [character] did,” she said, adding it’s important young people make good choices. “Don’t do anything that can get you hurt or arrested. It’s a bad idea and will ruin your future.” Todd Clerkson, the principal at Heritage Woods, said

the graphic scenario sends a strong message. “I think kids nowadays are a bit desensitized to messaging,” he said. “Making it as realistic as possible just makes more of an impact.” According to ICBC, there was nearly 300 motor vehicle collisions in Port Moody in 202 — the latest year for available stats.

Port Moody firefighter Jeff Scallion said there’s “no excuse” for anyone to drink and drive, or drive recklessly when they’re behind the wheel. “It’s awful for all the families involved,” he said, adding with many ride-sharing options available, there’s no shortage of ways someone can get home safely.

Port Moody’s Golden Spike Days Festival celebrates 45 years Family-friendly four-day festival kicks oﬀ June 30 at Rocky Point Park In keeping with the history and a little tongue-in-cheek nod to the Canadian Pacific Railway line, it would be on point to say, the Golden Spike Days Festival is back on track. After a disappointing couple of years, with a lot of event preparation not seeing fruition, one of the oldest and longest running family events in B.C. and one of the largest events in the TriCities is gearing up for its 45th year. The excitement is building as final preparations are underway. The festival kicks off the July 1 long weekend and runs June 30 – July 3 at Rocky Point Park, with an emphasis on family-oriented activities.

Golden Spike Days features a wide variety of family entertainment including the Golden Spike Can Can Dancers.

With Port Moody’s heritage, there is a lot to celebrate, and this event is the perfect time to show your community pride and spirit.

The event commemorates the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway line and its arrival at the original western terminus in Port Moody where the last spike was driven. “In addition to the event’s historical significance, we’re also making a real effort to reach out to all ages and cover the cultural diversity of the community,” says Nielsen.

Tasty treats and exciting beats All your favourites are returning.

How two Coquitlam teens saved their dad’s life Heroics recognized with awards from Lifesaving Society MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Paul Carter beams with more than just pride as his sons, Adam and Matthew, show off rescue awards of merit they recently received from the Lifesaving Society. The life they saved was his. The Carters, along with his wife, Andrea, and their younger son, Daniel, 12, were with family friends enjoying a day at the beach at Haywire Bay in Powell Lake near Powell River on Aug. 1, 2021, when the boys decided to swim out about 100 metres to explore a nearby island. Adam, who’s now 16, had recently received his National Lifeguarding certification and swims competitively with the Coquitlam Sharks. Matthew, 14, and Daniel also belong to the Sharks. So for them, the distance and cold water presented little challenge. Left all alone on the hot beach, as his wife wandered off elsewhere, Paul could see across the bay to the island where his boys, their friends and one of their dads seemed to be having a lot of fun. “Why am I here all by myself?” he thought before

wading into the water to begin the swim to join them. According to the Lifesaving Society, there’s an average 458 deaths by drowning every year in Canada. A quarter of them are between the ages of 50 and 64, almost 80 per cent are male, 34 per cent occur

in lakes or ponds and twothirds take place between the months of May and September. Carter was right in the statistical wheelhouse. He just didn’t know it. Yet. Halfway to the island, Carter began to realize the distance and cold water

were more than his 50-yearold body and recreational swimming ability could handle. He’d gone out too fast and now he was paying for his hubris. Carter paused to catch his breath, treading water for a minute or so. Determined to reach the

island, he resumed swimming. But 10 metres later he was exhausted. Carter tried to make up his mind whether he should continue going forward or turn back when a wave hit him square in the face. He swallowed a mouthful of water and began coughing

violently, further depleting his waning energy. Carter’s breathing quickened. His arms and legs slowed. “That’s when I started panicking,” he recalled. “I did the calculation that I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere where I was safe.” Carter said he mustered the strength to let out one call, for Adam. The eldest boy, who attends Heritage Woods Secondary School in Port Moody, said he just happened to be on the beach on the island’s leeward side when he heard his dad call out. While his friend’s father thought Carter was just messing around, Adam said his dad’s shout had a tone “I’ve never heard used before.” When he looked across the water, he could see Carter wasn’t moving much. The instinctive drowning response, in which humans close to drowning focus all their attention on keeping their mouth above water to the exclusion of any useful effort to save themselves or attract attention, had taken over. “I knew deep down he was in trouble,” Adam said. He jumped into the water and let his lifeguard training take over. Reaching his dad, Adam rolled him onto his back and used his chest to elevate Carter out of the water. He SEE

told his dad he was going to be OK, implored him to kick his feet to help propel them back toward the safety of the beach. By then, Matthew was also in the water. “I knew it was an emergency,” he said.

When Matthew reached his dad and brother, Adam told him, “We’ve got to do this.” He wrapped Carter’s arm around his shoulder and the three paddled to shore. Carter said the whole incident took about five minutes to play out, but “in the moment it seemed a lot longer.” Back on land, coughing out more of the water he’d swallowed, Carter became a parent again and checked on his boys. They “looked exhausted,” he said. “You feel bad about

the situation you put your kids in.” Andrea, who was now back on the scene after being alerted by others about what was going on, transported the trio to the hospital to make sure they were OK. It was during the drive Adam started to come to grips with what had just transpired. “We just save our dad from dying,” he said, adding he thought about all the different scenarios that could have happened, but “we got the good one.”

THANKFUL

Carter said he was thankful he and his wife had encouraged their boys to take up swimming at a young age. “You never know when it’s going to be important,” he said. Young Daniel, who’d watched the whole event play out before him, said, “It’s just a good thing for ev-

eryone to learn.” Since then, Carter said, the family’s often reflected on what happened. Sometimes, he said, he’s wracked with guilt.

WHAT IF?

“What if my family had lost me?” he said. “How tragic would that have been.” Adam’s take is a little more pragmatic. “It felt like it was something I should have done,” he said. Daniel’s nonplussed. “It could have been the worst day of my life, but now it was just a thing that happened.” Still, Carter said, there are valuable lessons to be learned, especially as summer approaches and people begin heading to beaches to cool off. “I made a few bad decisions,” he said. “Drowning doesn’t look like when you see it on TV.”

SUMMER BREAK

Kids’ summer passes are back KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

School is nearing the end of its calendar year, which means Coquitlam children and youth may be left wondering what to do over the summer. But the city is looking

to mitigate that potential boredom with the return of a popular program. The summer child and youth pass is back after a two-year hiatus from the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions on gatherings in indoor public spaces. The pass program is set to give kids under 18 years

old the chance to take part in drop-in activities like public swimming, basketball, badminton, ice skating and fitness centres for teens. The pass only costs $20. In a release, Coquitlam community recreation manager Vinh Truong said the pass is meant to help local families that don’t want to

break the bank this summer. He added it’s also part of the city’s goal to make recreation as “affordable and accessible” as possible for all residents. The passes can be purchased at any of the city’s recreation facilities. For more information, go to the city’s website.

It’s time to celebrate our community! Swing on by Hastings Street from Boundary Road to Gamma Avenue for Burnaby’s biggest street party.

Boost could cool market Hikes being used to lower inflation DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

SAVE BIG!

No one was too surprised when the Bank of Canada hiked interest rates last Wednesday (June 1) for the second time in as many months. But back-to-back halfpoint rate hikes to stem inflation are still rare, with more expected to come. The impact is expected to slow housing sales in the TriCities in the coming months. Everyone is waiting for the next shoe to drop, said Eddie Cocciollo, president of

Dominion Lending Centres, which has an office in Port Coquitlam. He said he couldn’t predict when the next rate hike will come and what it would be, but believes the Bank of Canada has an aggressive plan to bring inflation down from 6.8 per cent to a “neutral” two per cent. “It’s anybody’s guess but the pressure is on, it looks like the Bank of Canada, is not shying away form being very ‘hawkish,’” said Cocciollo. Those with existing mortgages might not feel the pain so much, said Cocciollo. That’s because there are several things banks can do to keep payments the same, while accommodating

higher interest rates, mostly by reducing the amount being contributed to the principal. There are dangers however, if the balance is more than the home is worth, but lenders will raise payments before negative amortization occurs. Also affected are home buyers, said Cocciollo, who explained that a half point boost to the interest rate reduces buying power by 12 per cent. Buyers are likely to wait to see if home prices come down before getting into the market. Cocciollo said he expects the dust to settle once the market factors in the changes.

Elder Abuse Awareness Day JUNE 15TH

GETTING HELP

Elder abuse is recognized as international issue World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is marked each year on June 15. It is an official United

Nations International Day acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human

rights issue. Since 2006, communities throughout the country and around the world have

honoured this day to raise the visibility of elder abuse by organizing events to share information and promote

resources and services that can help increase seniors’ safety and well-being. Elder Abuse networks and organizations are planning multiple WEAAD activities across the country to mobilize community action and engage people in discussions on how to promote dignity and respect of older adults. Elder abuse is a problem that exists in both developing and developed countries yet is typically underreported globally. Prevalence rates or estimates exist only in selected developed countries — ranging from 1 per cent to 10 per cent. Although the extent of elder mistreatment is unknown, its social and moral

significance is obvious. As such, it demands a global multifaceted response, one which focuses on protecting the rights of older persons. The Seniors Abuse and Information Line (SAIL) is a safe, confidential place for older adults and those who care about them to talk to someone about situations where they feel they are being abused or mistreated, or to receive information about elder abuse prevention. • Toll-free: 1-866-4371940 or 604-437-1940 in the Lower Mainland. • Available 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily (excluding holidays). • Website: seniorsfirstbc. ca.

SUMMER FUN

Coq. block parties are back in time for summer What’s more fun than a rubber chicken? The toy is set to be included in new activity kits for Coquitlam residents that successfully apply to host a neighbourhood block party this year as the city brings

the program back in time for summer. In a release, Coquitlam cultural services manager Karen Basi said $150 cash grants are available, as well as free liability insurance and new “add-ons.”

Last year, $300 grants were offered by way of the city’s former Community Support and Recovery Plan as it continued to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Block parties are fun

neighbourhood social events that can range from a potluck meal in someone’s yard or home to a larger event involving multiple families from the street or complex,” Basi said. If granted, the money is

earmarked for help to pay costs related to food, supplies, equipment rentals and entertainment. As well, the city encourages interested applicants to utilize local businesses for help.

Along with the rubber chicken, the play kits consist of balls, cones, frisbees and jump ropes. For more information, you’re encouraged to visit the block party page of the City of Coquitlam’s website.

Artist weaves PLEA, KFN stories

Musqueum teachings

JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

A series of free talks and workshops leading up to National Indigenous Peoples Day started last week in Port Moody. Audrey Siegl, Mary Point and Manuel Axel Strain were at the Noons Creek Hatchery to speak about Musqueam land protection as part of the In the Presence of Ancestors project, led by Port Moody resident and Coast Salish artist Tasha Faye Evans. The series continues on Saturday (June 11) when Crystal Sparrow will lead an all-ages workshop to create designs for spindle whorls. And on June 18, Debra Sparrow, also of Musqueam heritage, will share her knowledge of the arts. The focus on Musqueam coincides with the carving of a house post by the First Nation for In the Presence of Ancestors. Evans commissioned five Coast Salish artists to carve house posts that she hopes will be erected around Port Moody Inlet to represent the Indigenous peoples and their ancestral territory: • Kwikwetlem: Brandon Gabriel • Tsleil Waututh: Zachary George • Musqueam: Crystal Sparrow • Squamish: Xwalacktun • Katzie: Damon George Meanwhile, instead of a gathering at Rocky Point

Rosalie Dipcsu was excited to get the commission. A member of the Skwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and a longtime friend of kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nation Chief Ed Hall, Dipcsu was finishing a handpainted mural inside the new Red Fish Healing Centre for Mental Health and Addiction at səmiq̓ʷəʔelə/Riverview Lands in Coquitlam when PLEA Community Services came calling. The social services agency had just moved into a space in Port Coquitlam to assist at-risk youth in the TriCities and staff were eager to find a meaningful way to acknowledge the unceded and ancestral lands of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm of which they were now occupying. Dipcsu thought about the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm’s spirit guardians she would incorporate in the mural for PLEA, as well as the nonprofit’s mission: to offer helping hands to those in need. Then, overnight, she had a vision. Jen Graham, PLEA’s communication and development manager, had recently emailed the corporate brand to Dipcsu. Why not match

the colours to the inside of an abalone shell? Dipcsu asked. After all, an abalone shell is a natural resource that’s been used for thousands of years by Indigenous people as a medicine bowl to hold sage, cedar and sweetgrass for smudging — a traditional method of cleansing and purifying the air. Today (June 9), PLEA will host a private celebration to officially open the youth hub at 105-2071 Kingsway Ave., across from the Port Coquitlam Community Centre, and to unveil

Dipcsu’s mural in the lounge that’s now being dubbed “The Warehouse” by youth and staff.

WAVES OF TIME

It wasn’t the easiest project for Dipcsu, though. About half way through, she contracted COVID-19 and was bedridden for 45 days. Anxious to complete the mural, her husband, artist John Dennis Williams and his daughter Maemie Baker, offered their hands while Dipcsu tried to rest.

In their North Vancouver home, the couple set up a machine to project Dipcsu’s drawings of KFN spirit guardians — an eagle, heron, salmon and bear — onto the canvas for the two to trace. And when Dipcsu’s health returned, she used her acrylic paints to finish the 18’ by 24’ mural that weaves the stories of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm and PLEA. With Chief Hall and KFN council’s guidance and SEE

Park on National Indigenous Peoples Day, Evans invited organizations to host meaningful events and activities on June 21. “We wanted to honour the day in an experiential way,” she told the Tri-City News. “We wanted to gather with the community and take a day out to reflect on the relationship with the land and reconciliation.” “It’s a day to focus on the future of the Indigenous people and on the amazing wealth of knowledge that Indigenous people have been denied value of.” Here’s what’s scheduled for June 21: • 8 to 11:30 a.m.: Tea and bannock (Mossom Creek Hatchery & Education Centre) • 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.: Stand Like a Cedar StoryWalk (Port Moody Public Library) • 10:30 to 11:15 a.m.: Storytime with Kung Jaadee (Port Moody Public Library) • 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.: Living Languages: First Peoples Voices in BC (Port Moody Station Museum) • 1 to 4:30 p.m.: Open house concert and book sale (Noons Creek Hatchery) • 2:30 to 7:30 p.m.: Interactive Community Art Project (PoMoArts, formerly Port Moody Arts Centre) To learn more about In the Presence of Ancestors, register for workshops or donate, visit noonscreek.org.

blessing, Dipcsu created a water scene of the Nation and PLEA’s journey travelling over the waves of time. She added peepholes, too, shaped like an abalone shell, offering glimpses to their past, present and future. In the top left corner, there’s a silhouette of the “Quekwatlen” Chief Thomas Williams from 1960, when he removed a curse on Coquitlam settlers (the same image is in Dipcsu’s mural, “Essence of “Spirit,” at Red Fish Healing Centre). Still, she’s also included pictorial insights of Crystal Falls; the Coquitlam watershed (where kʷikʷəƛ̓əm’s winter home was wiped out by the dam construction); and a school of ooligans, a fish species that the neighbouring q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie) Nation is trying to revive. In her mural titled “Helping Hands,” the KFN themes of struggle and renewal parallel to what youth

at PLEA are going through, Dipcsu said. “It could be rough waters ahead for them but, with the guardians looking out, at least they know where they are.” As well, throughout “Helping Hands,” Dipcsu has ghost images of pictographs, the earliest form of writing. “It shows that no matter where you are in the world,

Pictographs are added to a painted extension below the mural. At a recent gathering in the Warehouse attended by Chief Hall, several PLEA youth also dipped their hands and added their mark to the “Helping Hands” mural. Her aim with the artwork? “It’s to make this place a welcoming, safe space for the kids to know that they will be understood here and that they will move on in life with new skills,” she said. “This is way to celebrate them and their journey to freedom.” PLEA executive director Tim Veresh told the TriCity News the organization cherishes Dipcsu’s artwork, which can be taken down for exhibitions in the community.

A longtime Port Coquitlam volunteer won a provincial accolade last month for her museum work. Julie Schmidt received an Honour Award from Heritage BC in the Distinguished Service Category, at the joint BC Museums Association and Heritage BC conference. A PoCo Heritage volunteer since 2003, Schmidt has assisted with running PoCo’s museum in facilitating programs, creating exhibits, human resources, administration and budgeting. She also recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the City of Port Coquitlam Schmidt’s term as president ends this month. “Any organization that has a volunteer like Julie Schmidt should acknowledge how lucky they are,” said Britney Dack, chairperson of Heritage BC, in a news release. “Julie Schmidt is no ordinary volunteer; she gives many hours weekly and successfully takes on diverse responsibilities from public programming and research to administrative and committee work. We know that success of heritage is always because of people, and Julie is an example for us to celebrate.”

Cancelled events and fewer in-person programs to offer were a direct result from the COVID-19 pandemic. This caused a financial setback for some Coquitlam nonprofit organizations that rely on those events for annual revenue, but the city has now stepped in to help ease some of those losses. Last week, eight community groups were awarded nearly $39,000 in combined grant funding as a way to make up for lost funds over the last two years. The one-time recovery funding came out of Coquitlam’s casino community capital fund. The recovery grant recipients are: $5,000 = BC Aquasonics Synchronized Swim Club $5,000 = Coastal Sound Music Academy $5,000 = Coquitlam Foundation $5,000 = Grenadian Cultural Association of BC $5,000 = Stage 43 Theatrical Society $5,000 = The People’s Pantry Food Recovery Society $5,000 = Tri-City Iranian Cultural Society $3,750 = Coquitlam Amateur Radio Emergency Services Society

FIELD LACROSSE

PoCo connection leads to success at UIndy Championship team coached by former PoCo Saint MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Strong ties to Port Coquitlam helped the University of Indianapolis (UIndy) win its first NCAA Div. II women’s field lacrosse national championship recently. The third-ranked Greyhounds defeated topseeded East Stroudsburg 11-9 in the final at Harlen C. Hunter Stadium in St. Charles, Mo. The team is coached by former PoCo Saint James

Delaney and features four Riverside Secondary grads on its roster, including junior Quinn Malcolm, who was named to the championship’s all-tournament team. The other locals are freshman Rachel Lambert, junior Christina Sato and redshirt sophomore Amy Vegh. Delaney said the talent pipeline back to his hometown has proved a perfect fit for the style of lacrosse the Greyhounds like to play. “We play a unique style that encompasses the women’s game, the men’s game and the box game all into one,” he told the Tri-City News. “Our players from British SEE

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

FIELD LACROSSE

More local recruits en route CONTINUED FROM PAGE

Columbia have all fit in perfectly since they stepped on campus.” Of course, Delaney’s own lacrosse trajectory from the concrete floor at the old PoCo Rec Centre, to playing the field game at St. Thomas More Collegiate in Burnaby and then on to NCAA lacrosse at Seton Hill University in Ohio where he was the highest scoring midfielder in the school’s history, makes him uniquely qualified to transform box players to top performers on the field.

BOXLA SKILLS

“I think the box lacrosse game teaches so many amazing techniques, thoughts and skills to being a complete lacrosse player,” Delaney said. “A lot of my teachings we have here come from the box lacrosse game and are instilled in my players daily.”

A case in point is Malcolm. In 2017, she helped Team B.C. win the under-16 championship at the Canadian Lacrosse Association female box lacrosse nationals in Halifax, N.S. As an attacker on the big field at UIndy, she scored 49 goals in 23 games this past season — third best on the team. Sato contributed 17 goals and 14 assists, while Vegh scored five times from a more defensive role. Delaney said winning only the third NCAA championship for Greyhounds’ teams affirms the wisdom of his approach to lacrosse. In fact, it’s a title that’s been building for some time. Since becoming the team’s head coach in 2018, after a year as the Greyhounds’ offensive co-ordinator, Delany led UIndy to a berth in the NCAA championship tournament in his first season, as well as the NCAA

midwest regionals in 2019, when he was also named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference’s (GLIAC) coach of the year. But, he said, winning a national title is a special feeling.

HUNGER

“As the season went along, this group developed a mindset that they would not be denied and came out every day hungrier than the last,” Delaney said. And that hunger will continue to be fed by local players from the stomping grounds of his youth. Already recruited for next year are Sage Da Silva and Malaena Michielin from Coquitlam. “As we continue to grow, we continue to go back to our British Columbia pipeline,” Delaney said. “I think it is just so special to have players that I have strong connections to because of where we grew up.”

Centennial’s Catie Cameron tracks a Fraser Heights defender in the first half of their group play match at the AAA girls high school soccer provincial championships, last Thursday at the Cloverdale Athletic Complex. Centennial lost the match, 2-1, but qualified for the semifinals with the best goal differential in its group. The Centaurs then dropped that playoff, 2-1, to South Delta before defeating the Argyle Pipers 6-1 to finish the tournament in third place. Centennial coach Larry Moro said he’s confident the team will bounce back as it loses just three seniors to graduation. Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils finished ninth. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

WALZ, Kay (Jennie Kathleen)

WESTERHOUT, Maisie September 6, 1935 - May 23, 2022 Passed away peacefully. She will be missed by her family, friends and all who knew her. Maisie was born in New Zealand and moved to Lillooet on a nursing exchange, where she met the love of her life Tom, married and enjoyed a lifetime of travel, nursing and building her family. She nursed at RCH and raised two daughters in Coquitlam. Actively involved in her community, she will be missed for her green thumbs, baked treats, mounds of knitting, and for the generous, kind compassion she shared with all who met her.

Known for her playful sense of humour and distinctive laugh, mom could often be found sitting in the stands cheering on family and friends. Watching her beloved Blue Jays and Canucks also brought mom much enjoyment … and frustration.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a new plant in your garden or join the family in a donation to the charity of your choice.

Predeceased by her first husband Jack Morgan, brothers Robert and Albert, mom is survived by her loving husband of 61 years Quirin (Quinn), children John Morgan, Judy Jones, (Ken), Mary-Anne (Jan), and Michael. Mom was always happiest surrounded by family and cherished her role as Grandma to Chad (Bee), Jeffrey (Jen), Scott (Bree), Brooke, Anni, Brynn, Great Grandma to Brody, Cameron, Finley and Aunty to many nieces and nephews.

Please consider sharing photos and stories with the family through Maisie’s memorial page at First Memorial Funeral Services Burkeview Chapel www.firstmemorialportcoquitlam.com

Please join us on June 24 at 11:00AM to celebrate Mom’s life at First Memorial Funeral Services Burkeview Chapel 1340 Dominion Avenue, Port Coquitlam, BC.

Service at Coquitlam Presbyterian Church (948 Como Lake Ave) on Saturday, June 25th at 2:00pm.

It is with heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved mom Kay (Jennie Kathleen) Walz on May 5, 2022. Mom was born in Innisfail, Alberta on April 14, 1933, to William and Hannah Williams. For 65 years mom lived on Burke Mountain, raising her family, and making life-long friends. Mom was extremely proud of her Welsh heritage and deeply loved her Anglesey family.

May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of despair

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Salvation Army or Red Cross. Burkeview Chapel 604-944-4128 firstmemorialportcoquitlam.com

RIEDL, Beverly Mae January 8, 1937 − May 23, 2022 RIEDL, Beverly Mae (née Mairs) passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends on May 23, 2022. She is survived by four children Lori−ann, Wayne, Tammi and Todd; son−in−law Jeffry; sister−in−law Maxine; and several grandchildren and great− grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband Frank, parents Joseph and Minnie, and sister Jo− Anne. Beverly was a longtime resident of Port Coquitlam. She spent many summers in her youth playing with her Aplin, Bredbury and McDonald cousins at her grandparents home at the end of Pitt River Road. She also attended Central Elementary before her parents settled down in East Vancouver. She met her husband Frank at Kensington Park while in her senior year at Gladstone Secondary. Their romance quickly blossomed, and they married in 1956. Together they celebrated 60 wedding anniversaries. In 1965, Beverly and Frank returned to Port Coquitlam, where they lived in Mary Hill, raising an active family involved in many community activities, including figure skating, competitive swimming and 5−pin bowling. Once her children were all school age, Beverly continued her education and received a certificate in medical stenography. She had a passion for health care and was proud to work in this field for over 30 years. Beverly and Frank enjoyed going on cruises (Hawaii was their favourite), spending time at The Glen (their home away from home) and keeping company with friends at Shaughnessy Square. The family would like to thank Dr. Margaret Kwiatkowski along with the team at Eagle Ridge Hospital for their care and compassion. Beverly was a very kind and giving person. To honour her memory, a donation may be made to the charity of your choice.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

BRACKENBURY, Peter William Charles March 21, 1948 to March 31, 2022 Peter was born in Victoria to Mary Eleanor (nee Beattie) and Peter Payne. With his mother and brother Jim, he moved to Calgary while his father took part in the Korean War. His father left the family. Mary married Jack Brackenbury in 1959, and the boys changed to the Brackenbury surname. Peter was a natural athlete, moving through hockey, baseball, and football. Peter was a star basketball player for St. Mary’s High School. In May 1964, their mother passed and the family separated. Peter married Linda Bakstad in 1969. Linda left Peter and later passed in 1978, leaving their son Chad Mathias to be raised by family members. Peter had found his way to the west coast and met Eva, who helped him leave his venture as a leather shop artisan and begin a 27-year career as a Vancouver firefighter. Son Starr Kam, born in 1973, was joined by daughter Melody Charlotte Mary in 1978. Both children remember their early years at Starrmel Farms in Bradner, as Peter tried to corner the veal market in B.C. Their mother left the family about 1980, eventually taking both children to live in Alberta. Peter met Debbie LaMarsh after a time, and they spent many years together, traveling and enjoying time in Mesa, Arizona, as well as summering in Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, and Osoyoos. After a heart attack, Captain Peter took early retirement from the Vancouver Fire Department in 2002. A Maple Ridge Lions Club member, he spent many years golfing and took great pride as the flag bearer for the Canadian Team in their annual pool tournaments against the American team in Mesa. He also took up tennis at Carriage Manor. Debbie passed in 2014. Peter and long-time family friend Linda Howard made a new life together, building a home in Penticton, and continuing to winter in Mesa. In 2022, Peter had a heart attack with numerous complications in Mesa. He was airlifted to the Penticton Regional Hospital, where he passed. Peter was predeceased by his mother Mary, Jack Brackenbury, Linda Bakstad, Debbie LaMarsh, and son Chad Bakstad. He is survived by his wife Linda, son Starr Kam, daughter Melody (Dany Perez Nafarrate), granddaughters Sofia and Penelope, and brother Jim (Mary), plus their daughters and grandsons. A Celebration of Life will be held on June 25th, 2:00 pm, at the Maple Ridge Legion #88, 12101 224th St., with an additional service at Carriage Manor, Mesa, in the fall.
