Windups put condo owners in flux along transit line Questions arise for strata councils near SkyTrain Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Yoga enthusiasts in the Tri-Cities were able to take their oms outside Thursday at a special open yoga session held at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam to celebrate International Yoga Day. The worldwide observation of yoga day began in 2015 after Indian prime minister Narendra Modi proposed it during an address to the General Assembly of the United Nations the year before. The theme for this year’s event was peace. See photos, page 16.
LeARnInG TO FLY
Paul Dries, past president of the west Coast radio Control Aircraft Flyers, said the organization is looking for new members and will hold an open house this Sunday: story, page 20.
A new layer of complexity has been added to the already heated real estate market on the west wide of Coquitlam as owners of older condos in neighbourhoods along the Evergreen Extension decide whether to stay or sell. Some condo owners in older buildings in the highdensity transit corridor are trying to get ahead of the market — and potential strata dissolution — as they list their suites individually for top dollar, while others are hiring lawyers and brokers, and going through the windup process, as a complex on Austin Avenue did last year when they sold for $32 million to Anthem Properties. Whatever the decision, condo owners should do their homework, especially in this uncertain real estate market, said Tony Gioventu, the executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association (CHOA),
whose agency provides condo owners with education and support. “We’ve been doing a number of public forums over the last year for condo owners to understand what the windup process is, if it’s feasible for them,” he said. “It all has to do with location. If you have a piece of property in a premium zone or high density area, the value of your property as a collective piece of property is probably worth substantially more than the individual units in an older building that is probably facing long-term repairs over the next 10 years. We’ve seen that.” However he cautions that selling to a developer isn’t a “magic bullet” because property values vary widely from block to block and city to city and there is also the timeconsuming process of going to court, if only 80% of your neighbours are willing to sell. If it takes nine to 10 months to complete the windup, he said, condo prices could quickly outpace settlements, making it difficult to find an affordable place to move in the area. see SELLERS, page 9

Coquitlam preserves R’view artifacts Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
Artifacts from Riverview Hospital — some dating back to the early 1900s, when it was known as Essondale Hospital — are now catalogued and preserved by the city of Coquitlam. Last Monday, the city’s council-in-committee heard about the recent measures to sort through the extensive collection of medical items used at the once-populated hospital grounds. And it heard from staff about the need to look at next steps for showcasing the goods. Last year, Coquitlam budgeted $120,000 for Shared Solutions — run by Port Coquitlam resident Lisa Codd — to review, photograph and safeguard the 2,500 objects that include furniture, doctors’ equipment, clothing and administration materials, among other things. Through the discovery, which was uncovered at the former Burquitlam Lions Care Centre on Sydney Avenue, Codd and her team highlighted the items that had to be kept as well as identified 375 objects for disposal considered unsafe, duplicate, broken or damaged.
JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Riverview Hospital artifacts collection was assessed, inventoried and catalogued in Coquitlam earlier this year by Port Coquitlam resident Lisa Codd and her Shared Solutions team. About 100 of the discarded items were donated to the Coquitlam Heritage Society, said Karen Basi, the city’s cultural services manager, while
other objects — deemed to have a low historical value — were transferred to the Riverview Historical Society (RHS), Evergreen Cultural
Centre, the New Westminster Museum and Heritage Services, the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society, Royal BC Museum and
the Kingston Museum of Healthcare. Some discarded items will be sold at auction once the Riverview markings are off, she
said. While an appraiser was hired, Basi said there’s no indication of the collection’s worth but four items were valued at $1,000 or more: a piano, barber’s chair and two dental cabinets. In her lengthy report, Codd made two recommendations for the city to proceed, both of which will be raised with council as it heads into its 2019 budget deliberations: have a museum collections professional inspect the objects each season (for preventative conservation); and develop a collections management strategy, policy and procedures. In 2012, the city took over ownership of the artifacts from RHS and the Provincial Health Services Authority, when the BC Liberal government closed Riverview after 100 years. Founded in 1913 as a mental health institution, Riverview had 2,000 employees and 4,500 residents at its peak as well as its own school, fire department and community centre. The 244-acre site, off Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam, is now operated by BC Housing and is the most filmed-at location in Canada for television and movie crews, outside of a studio. jcleugh@tricitynews.com
PORT MOODY
Flavelle a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’ for PoMo MaRio BaRtel
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody’s waterfront will look drastically different in coming years after city council adopted the amendment to its official community plan (OCP) at its meeting last Tuesday that will pave the way for the redevelopment of the Flavelle mill site into a high-density mixeduse neighbourhood that could include homes for up to 7,000 residents and jobs for more than 1,100 people. But some councillors say putting that many people on to the 12.7-hectare site is a recipe for disaster. Coun. Hunter Madsen said the concept put forward by Flavelle to redevelop the mill site is “needlessly gargantuan”
2018
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Big changes are coming to Port Moody’s waterfront after council adopted an amendment to its official community plan that will pave the way for the redevelopment of the Flavelle mill site. and will increase the burden on already busy roads and parks in Port Moody’s downtown.
“Our first responsibility is to protect quality of life for our downtown residents,” he said. But other councillors cau-
tioned it’s still early days, with no actual development proposal yet presented by the property’s owners. “This is just the first step, we’ve got a long way to go,” said Coun. Meghan Lahti of the vote to approve the OCP amendment that came after the Metro Vancouver board of directors also gave its assent to the city’s request for an amendment to its regional growth strategy to allow the site’s redevelopment. Bruce Gibson , Flavelle’s vice president of real estate management, said the company will spend the “coming months” creating a comprehensive master plan for the site just west of Rocky Point Park, with further opportunities for community involvement.
“We look forward to again working with the community, city staff, mayor and council as we start to create a uniquely Port Moody waterfront development honouring this historic location,” Gibson said. Several councillors said they’ll work to hold the company to that commitment. Coun. Diana Dilworth said the approval process and development of beloved projects like Newport Village, Suter Brook and Klahanie took many years, and she expects the same for the mill site. “They were done in very strategic, phased approaches,” she said of those developments. “Initial plans that are presented change significantly based on what the community is asking for, based upon what
council is asking for.” What they should be asking for is more open public space along the shoreline that would extend Rocky Point Park westward, said Coun. Rob Vagramov, adding the company’s initial vision to build a boardwalk along the waterfront and dedicate almost a quarter of the site to public park and open spaces doesn’t go far enough. “I like the idea of opening the space up,” he said. Dilworth said the pressure is on everyone to create a development that fulfills the site’s potential and the community’s expectations. “This is absolutely a once in a lifetime opportunity to enhance our shoreline,” she said. mbartel@tricitynews.com

GLENEAGLE SECONDARY
Biology, physical education are joined in fly-fishing class Diane StranDBerg Tri-CiTy News
A new Fly Fishing 11 course approved by the board of education will have students exchange their laptops, pen and paper for a fly rod and some basic tackle equipment if they sign up at Gleneagle secondary next year. But don’t think this course taught by veteran fly fisher and educator Lorenzo Cirillo will be a walk in the park. The program has been developed to meet B.C. curriculum guidelines and gives teens a chance to explore nature, study conservation, learn B.C. fishing regulations and First Nations values, while also reading about famous literary figures who loved to fish. Along the way, they’ll learn how to cast and tie flies and explore some of B.C.’s most famous fly fishing rivers. “If there ever was a better time to take care of the environment, I’m not sure when it was,” said Cirillo, currently a Pitt River middle teacher who will be moving to teach at Gleneagle in the fall. Wearing hip waders and preparing to cast, Cirillo is standing in the middle of the Coquitlam River in Port Coquitlam demonstrating the

Sadly, pollution, in the form of a large ball of plastic wrap is getting in the way of a great photo. “You could make a case study of [the Coquitlam River] about all the things we have done wrong,” he said. Cirillo is passionate about his new course, which he developed with learning services coordinator Michelle Ciolfitto to be taught as part of Gleneagle’s COAST outdoor recreation program. He believes the four-credit elective course could be a model of interdisciplinary
Port Moody’s Annual Report In accordance with Sections 97 to 99 of the Community Charter, Port Moody Council has prepared an annual report, which is available for public inspection and comment starting June 11, 2018. The report contains 2017 departmental highlights, financial statements, and relevant statistical analysis. It also outlines how the City met 2017 goals set out in Port Moody Council’s Strategic Plan.
Council will consider the report and public comments at their Regular Council Meeting on June 26 starting at 7pm, 100 Newport Dr Contact Dorothy Shermer, Corporate Officer at 604.469.4603 or dshermer@portmoody.ca for more information on the annual report.
studies because it blends environmental sciences with physical education. However, he acknowledges that other schools have similar programs and even Penn State is known for its principles of fly fishing course. Still, with B.C. a fly fishing destination for many outdoor enthusiasts, Cirillo thinks it will appeal to young people who want to try something a little bit different in their education experience. Field trips will likely include the Vedder River, where students will learn fly fishing etiquette that isn’t always em-
ployed by practitioners of the sport, the Skagit River, which was saved from destruction by opponents of the High Ross dam project, and the Squamish River, among others. However, trips will be dependent on water levels, season, fishing regulations, course progress and other issues and could vary from year to year. Cirillo, who has run a fishing club at Pitt River for a number of years, where students catch, clean and eat black crappie at Whonnock Lake, said his kids love the sport, even if they aren’t always so crazy about the taste of the fish.

COQUITLAM RCMP
Police look for girls given drugs at park RCMP officers are trying to find two teenage girls who were given ‘free’ marijuana in Lions Park in Port Coquitlam on Wednesday. “The girls did the right thing by turning the drugs over to a city employee, but it’s completely unacceptable to have drug dealing in the park,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. “Police need to speak to those two girls so we can get their stories firsthand and thank them for their help.” The incident occurred about
4 p.m. Police were able to make a quick arrest, but by the time they apprehended the suspect the two girls were gone. A 42-year-old Coquitlam man faces charges of failing to comply with conditions, breach of conditions and other charges. The teenagers, or anyone who knows them, are asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP detachment’s non-emergency line at 604-945-1550 and ask for the Uniform Crime Reduction Team.

dealing with chafer beetle?
we’re here to help!
beetle mania
Pick up your nematodes from a garden centre now! Tri-City residents can start to reclaim their lawns from the European Chafer beetle by picking up nematodes now from garden stores and landscaping professionals. Nematodes are tiny worms that live in the soil. When applied correctly, these worms kill Chafer beetles without harming plants, people or pets. You’ll want to get them now, and plan to apply them in late July.
A healthy lawn is your best defence. If you have Chafer beetle damage, focus on these three lawn care tips right now: The European Chafer beetle is an invasive insect pest. Its larvae feed on the roots of grasses, causing serious damage to lawns. NEXT MONTH: It’s time to use those nematodes! Apply these microscopic worms that feed on Chafer grubs during the third week of July, and make sure to follow directions.

COQUITLAM
Council lukewarm on requiring eV charging Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News
Although eight Lower Mainland communities, including Port Coquitlam, are requiring developers to include electric vehicle charging stations in their residential projects, Coquitlam councillors had a mixed reaction to adopting such a requirement for the city. A staff report presented to council by development planner Natasha Lock earlier this month offered up four options. The first would require all residential spaces in multifamily developments to have a 240 volt outlet (Level 2). The second would see one parking space per unit for Level 2. The third would have all spaces outfitted for Level 1 (120 volts), with infrastructure capable of providing Level 2 or higher. The fourth was Level 1 for one parking space per unit. Lock’s report pointed out British Columbia leads the country with EVs, making up more than 1% of new car purchases, and that’s expected to grow to about 24 to 27% by 2030. The report also suggested developers be given a sixmonth grace period between the adoption of the new requirements and enforcement to avoid constraining propos-

$750 per parking space. Mayor Richard Stewart, who also owns an EV, didn’t think the city needed to require Level 2. He said he’s able to charge his car overnight, even in the winter, using a 110 volt outlet, and has driven round trips to Vancouver airport, downtown Vancouver and Abbotsford on an overnight charge. “I suspect everybody could get by with Level 1, unless they’re using it 18 hours a day,” said Stewart. He added changing the playing field for developers in midstream isn’t a good idea.
als already being processed. Coun. Craig Hodge, who owns an electric vehicle, is anxious to get the requirements in place. He favoured forcing developments to install 240 volt outlets and didn’t think a grace period should be given. “We’ve got so many buildings coming forward that if we allow too many to go ahead we’re building into obsolescence,” said Hodge, who noted he paid $1,100 to have a 240-volt outlet installed at his home. Lock said a number of developers told the city the higher level of electrical power could make it too expensive. The report said the city is considering requiring systems that would cost between $270 and
“I’m a bit concerned of having a short window for those that have already bought land and taken stuff to planning… and, oh by the way, your costs are going up again,” said Stewart. He suggested requiring 110 volts for two years and after that making Level 2 mandatory. Vancouver and Richmond have adopted bylaws requiring all parking stalls to have Level 2, while Burnaby is on its way to doing so. PoCo is requiring one space per unit to have Level 2. But Coun. Terry O’Neill said
he wasn’t confident the city understands the issue and the market well enough. He added it wasn’t the city’s job to force developers to provide charging outlets, even though it might make a purchase more attractive to potential buyers. “I don’t want to do this because I think it’s going to sell condominiums,” said O’Neill, who warned against driving up the taxes and fees for developers potentially killing projects. “We’re not talking about putting on a straw, but a bail of straw, on a camel’s back. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said
she is worried about trying to regulate instead of letting the market dictate the need. Coun. Dennis Marsden said as the number of electric vehicles increases, there’s going to be a need for the outlets. “Let’s not let imperfection stand in the way of progress here,” said Marsden. Coun. Chris Wilson thought the report should have included visitor parking charging stations. “If the vehicles are going to be as common as we think they are then we better make sure they have it available for visitor parking,” said Wilson.

STRATA WINDUPS
Sellers may have to downsize: Gioventu continued from front page
“People think they are going to live in the same neighbourhood, or even the new building, but they might have to downsize from 1,100 to 500 sq. ft. for the same price,” Gioventu told The Tri-City News. But one local realtor thinks she might have an answer to this uncertainty by helping sellers list their properties in advance of — or during — the windup process. Desi Louvris has listed an apartment on North Road in an area slated for high density in the city’s official community plan. The suite is just 636 sq. ft. in size and the listing price is $650,000 — or more than $1,000 a sq. ft. — which is more typical for a brand new condo. The building is 41-years old and Louvris said by listing individually, the condo owner has more control over the price. “There’s also flexibility involved, otherwise the strata council decides for you,” Louvris said. In other words, the condo owner could potentially walk away with more money than they would if they negotiated with a developer, she said, something to consider given the size of the unit and the price of condos in the TriCities. “A lot of people are crying because they are losing a lot of money because they can’t buy anything,” Louvris said. For older buildings, the Strata Property Act determines how sale proceeds are distributed: for strata corporations created before August, 1974, the relative size of the unit is considered in the formula; for strata corporations created between August, 1974 and 2000, the original developer’s estimate of values for strata corporations is used in the formula to determine valuation. Louvris thinks condo owners have a better chance of getting a bigger payout if they sell

An advertisement for a 636-sq.-ft. condo listed for $650,000 — more than $1,000 per sq. ft. on their own. But a lawyer who represents condos during the windup process said it’s buyer beware for those shelling out for units that may or may not eventually be sold to a developer. “Sometimes people do try to get ahead by putting their units for market ahead of the game if they do think the strata is doing windup,” said Allyson Baker, of Clark Wilson LLP. However, she said the strata council could decide not to sell or the valuation could be less than the buyer paid. There are also overhead costs, rules that can prevent rentals and uncertainty. “You only sell in a windup if you think you are going to make more,” Baker said. “I am completely neutral. I am there to assure [strata corporations] comply with the act, and ultimately, if we get into court, the court will be satisfied the process was done fairly,” Baker added. As for CHOA’s Gioventu, he has plenty of advice for strata corporations considering a windup and said his organization will provide assistance on site. He said condo owners should stick together during negotiations and should be realistic when deciding to sell. Many issues, such as location,
need to be considered when deciding whether to windup. “Make a prudent decision based on real values, not pie in the sky types of hopes and wishes,” he said. Condo owners should also be choosy and make sure their broker acts exclusively for their strata. He said it is important to hire a lawyer for the windup process, including reviewing the brokerage agreement. “Unless you are getting 50% more value or facing a massive levy for repairs, you’re going to seriously think about whether or not you’re going to sell,” Gioventu said. Maintenance is also key and residents should continue to look after their building and protect their asset because windup is not a guarantee of the future. And for those wishing to buy an older condo and who don’t wish to sell or face windup, Gioventu said to choose an area not close to a transit line or to pick a place that is already built to its maximum density and check the depreciation report to make sure there are no costly renovations required and that there is money in the bank to fix what is needed.

MARIJUANA LEGISLATION
PoMo to develop rules for cannabis retailers Council divided on how to handle Oct. 17 legalization Mario Bartel
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody will begin the process of preparing bylaw language and guidelines that would allow retail cannabis stores to operate in the city once the sale and recreational use of cannabis is legal in Canada on Oct. 17. But the road ahead before any such stores actually open could be divisive after city council narrowly passed a motion at its meeting last Tuesday to allow that process to proceed. Three councillors, Zoe Royer, Barbara Junker and Diana
Dilworth, voted against the motion. Royer recommended an outright prohibition of retail cannabis stores in the city while Junker and Dilworth said it was too soon to move forward. “Why don’t we step back and have a broader discussion with our community?” Dilworth said, adding any decision that is made about allowing cannabis sales in the city would be “significant and historic.” But Mayor Mike Clay said beginning the process of regulating cannabis sales in the city is the start of just such a discussion. “Without something, it’s more difficult to have that conversation,” he said, as he voted to support the motion to move forward, along with councillors Meghan Lahti, Rob Vagramov
and Hunter Madsen. In a report prepared for council, Robyn MacLeod, Port Moody’s manager of building, bylaw and licensing, said the city could handle the regulation and licensing of retail cannabis stores similar to the way liquor stores are governed. Prospective cannabis retailers would have to apply for a rezoning of the property where they hope to open after meeting certain guidelines, such as its location in relation to schools. The rezoning application would then be subject to public hearing. “Each application would be considered separately,” MacLeod told council. Vagramov said the city can glean some important lessons from states in the United States where the use and sale of cannabis has been legalized.

Tough on trade?
f
irst u.S. president donald Trump slapped a tariff on aluminum and steel and then he suggested we Canucks smuggle shoes to avoid paying more bucks to the Canadian government. Excusing for a minute that it’s duties we pay on smuggled shoes and not tariffs if we aren’t in the u.S. for more than 24hours, we wonder if Trump doesn’t have it out for Canada for some reason. With his untimely rant just before the Canada day long weekend, travellers to the u.S. will have to be much more cautious if they plan to cross border shop. That’s because, thanks to Trump, Canadian border guards will be scouring cars for any new clothes with the tags cut off and scuffed sneakers purchased at the closest outlet mall. but maybe the laugh is on him as more Canadians are feeling frustrated and will likely shop closer to home in protest. With the dollar no longer at par and our patriotism at full boar, there is less reason to shop down south and more reason to purchase those asian-made sneakers at a Canadian store.

NDP byelection loss wouldn’t be fatal T
he likely resignation of an NdP MLa later this fall has touched off a round of speculation that such a thing will almost certainly lead to an early election call. allow me to disagree and to throw some cold water on the prospects of an election happening anytime soon. The MLa in question is NdP veteran Leonard Krog, who is now KEITH BALDREY running to become the mayor of Nanaimo. He is currently the NdP MLa for Nanaimo and will give up that seat should he win the mayoralty contest on oct. 20. While Krog has been a popular MLa for 18 years, he doesn’t have an automatic lock on the mayor’s post. He’ll be up against well-known local businessman don Hubbard, a former chair of the vancouver Island Health authority. However, if Krog does indeed win and therefore gives up a seat, the prospect of a general election comes into view, but it will still be on a distant horizon.

Premier John Horgan would have six months to call a byelection in the riding. He would likely call a byelection fairly quickly in order to get that riding represented by a new NdP MLa come the february legislative session and the budget vote (which will be a test of confidence in the House). History tells us that sitting b.C. governments usually lose byelections (the opposition party has won 10 of the last 12 byelections going back to 1981; the two exceptions were victories by Christy Clark, when she was the premier). There is usually low turnout because the stakes are usually quite small and it is difficult for a government to motivate its supporters. However, Nanaimo is not your typical riding. It is staunchly NdP, having delivered that party victory in 11 of the last 12 general elections and in last year’s election Krog won by a healthy 3,400 votes. In addition, the prospect of a possible win by the bC Liberals would surely fire up the NdP’s Nanaimo supporters (because of the potential uncertainty of the party’s hold on power should it lose) to ensure voter turnout would be unusually high and allow the seat to stay in the government’s win column. but let’s say the bC Liberals pull off an upset, which would give that party 43 seats, matching the NdP-Green alliance seat count.
Speaker darryl Plecas could be called upon to cast any deciding vote, and by “convention” he is supposed to keep the legislature functioning, which means backing the government. With a tied house, it would be hard for the NdP to implement much of an agenda. Relatively little legislation would get through the chamber, but it could survive the two confidence votes that occur each year. In addition, it would be far from clear how many votes would actually go to a tie anyway. Would the b.C. Liberals automatically vote against every single possible bill at every opportunity? defeating legislation doesn’t bring down a government (that can only occur on confidence votes), and if the b.C. Liberals were to simply gum up the works with procedural hijinks, they could incur the wrath of an unamused public should an early election actually occur. until she sees the house grind to an absolute halt, Lt.-Gov. Janet austin would have no reason to dissolve the legislature and call an election. No, losing a byelection in Nanaimo would be embarrassing for the ruling New democrats, but it would be far from fatal to their government, at least for a while.

No more trustee trips The Editor, Re: “Relationships forged during China trips, say trustees” (The Tri-City News, June 15). I have been somewhat taken aback by the recent articles that have come out about our School District 43 trustees receiving yearly free
trips to China. We elect these folks to oversee our school district and with that comes an expectation of awareness that nothing is for free and when you accept a so called gift you place yourself in a conflict of interest. There is no free dinner and I do not want my trustees
owing any group from China anything. Plain and simple, this is a risk they should not be taking and I am shocked that they have. I am a resident of Port Coquitlam for all of my 54 years. I am also an employee of SD43 for 20 of those years. As an employee of the school

The Editor, Re: “Coquitlam asks gov’t for housing ‘tools’” (The Tri-City News, June 6). I applaud the local council for the request to the provincial government to charge development fees for building huge single family dwellings. I can only wonder why it has taken this long to go forward with the request. The carnage in our neighbourhoods has been ongoing for some years. These homes are not ecologically friendly, often at least two to three times larger than the houses they are replacing, which of course means greater use of energy and utilities. Nor are they neighbourly, with large imposing fences and gates, four to six cars parked in the driveway and along the street, garish lighting at night and very little green space. There is little sensitivity to the neighbourhood character when it comes to design or form.

It is time for local councils to have the authority to regulate building within its boundaries. I would support council initiatives to look at how to increase much-needed affordable housing for young families and others. Smaller lots and multi-unit housing in our neighbourhoods would make for a far more interesting and healthier mix in our communities throughout Coquitlam. These monstrosities are not what we need. T.

COME OUT AND MEET COQUITLAM’S
41-storey tower will go to public hearing Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News
A proposal for 41-storey Burquitlam tower that would displace two rental apartment buildings also includes a lowrise rental structure. Amacon Developments has applied to the city of Coquitlam to rezone properties on Foster Avenue and North Road so it can construct a 304-residential unit highrise along with a six-storey building with 93 rental units. Two, three-storey apartment buildings with 89 rental units, 78 of which are occupied, currently sit on the properties. During Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Dennis Marsden questioned why none of the rental units were below market. Director of development services George Fujii told him there “have been discussions, but the applicant hasn’t expressed interest to take advantage of the additional density to build those units.” The report noted Amacon has a tenant relocation program for the current renters. It included four months notice to vacate, three months free rent or payment of the equivalent to each tenant to assist with moving expenses, assistance from Amacon staff to find rental

Amacon Developments is proposing a 41-storey project at North Road and Foster Avenue. housing in other Amacon buildings and an opportunity to rent or buy in the new development. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo asked staff to use Statistics Canada census information to develop a profile on who is actually living in highrise buildings in Burquitlam before the city proceeds with the project. “I want to make sure we’re not building empty-investment vehicles,” said Zarrillo. “I think there’s enough data out there to understand these uses.” Planning department general manager Jim McIntyre said that analysis would be difficult

to do before the proposal’s expected public hearing on July 9. “That would take a little more work. I think we would want to do that a little more broadly,” said McIntyre, who added the city would want to make sure it had the right postal codes before doing a deeper dive. Zarrillo registered the only vote opposed to sending Amacon’s proposal to public hearing. “I’m feeling uncomfortable with being soft on approving developments without knowing who they are building for,” she said. “I want to know who is living in them, not who is buying into this development.” Although only one retail space has been proposed, Amacon intends to build five of the units in the tower and seven in the rental building that would allow residents to both live and work in them. According to the report, the proposal falls within the official community plan that designates it as high-density apartment residential. The development is expected to generate $3.1 million in development cost charges, $13.3 million in density bonuses and more than $300,000 in community amenity contributions.

CONSULTATION RC airplane lessons FREE MISSING A TOOTH? If an implant is not an option for you held this weekend MK Pontic
Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News
It’s a park that’s tucked away past the gravel pits, toward the entrance of the Coquitlam watershed. Sometimes, it’s used as a movie set; most often, it’s where bears and off-leash dogs and their guides run free. But the Upper Coquitlam River Park, up Pipeline Road, is also frequented by the Kamikaze pilots, a group of about 60 members with the West Coast Radio Control Aircraft Flyers (WCRCAF). And on Sunday, several pilots will be out with their trainer, sport and aerobatic airplanes as well as helicopters, jets and gliders to show the public what they’re all about. Past president Paul Dries, who’s been an WCRCAF member since 2000, is organizing the open house at the park, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., to build awareness about the club — which has been around since the 1970s — and to gain new blood. “We’d really like to see more fathers and sons come out,” he said. “But we’d love to see girls out, too.” Senior pilots will teach newbies how to fly remote control

Beside the lessons, there will also be multiple aircraft demonstrations and FPV, or virtual reality flying demos. Held with support from the city of Coquitlam and the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada, the open house will
mostly feature electric models. “We do gas-powered machines but in the last 10 years, electrics have really come into their own.” As well, visitors can learn about safety measures when flying and sign up to become a club member: fees are $75 for new members and $50 for juniors (under 18).

PORT COQUITLAM
Rental fees to rise in PoCo Swimmers, gym users and sports groups should prepare to pay a bit more at Port Coquitlam civic facilities this summer. Last Tuesday, city council gave final reading to its amended fees and charges bylaw that will see single rates and monthly passes rise at Hyde Creek recreation centre, outdoor pools, halls, lacrosse boxes and turf fields, among other amenities.
However, fees at the PoCo rec complex, which is now being rebuilt at a cost of $132 million, and Wilson Centre memberships will stay pat because of the construction. The parks and recreation lifts amount to 3% over 2015 numbers and reflects “changes in market trends and operation costs,” according to a city report. Among the bylaw changes: • a new fee for outdoor pool single admissions, effective
June 1, is $2 for all age groups. • a new super seniors (85 and up) category is included with all admissions and membership passes — equal to the children’s rate. • and a new fee for tennis courts (Gates and Terry Fox) kicks in July 1. The fees and charges increase is expected to bring in an additional $45,700 to city coffers. jcleugh@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

PERENNIAL FLOWERS
Give the garden a boost with some great perennials IN THE GARDEN
BRIAN MINTER
A
fter the long, dry May we experienced recently, even a little rain is welcome, and the accompanying cool temperatures have been a help to all our garden plants. As some annuals may be struggling, a few perennials can give our gardens a much-needed boost immediately and then carry on well into fall. The added benefit with perennials is that they will return next year and will continue to thrive for many years, adding a richness to our summer gardens and transitioning them into fall. Here is my top 10 list of the best performers that we can plant right now and enjoy year after year. My number one choice is the magnificent rudbeckias. The most well-known variety, R. Goldsturm, is the standard bearer that will bloom until late September. A newer variety I really like is R. Early Bird Gold. It blooms about ten days earlier and carries on until the end of the season. A shorter version, R. Little Gold Star, has smaller blooms and is quite at home in containers and smaller spaces. These are summer and fall showstoppers that no sunny garden should be without. Coreopsis has to be number two on my list, especially many of the new varieties. Two of the best for long and continuous blooms are the lacy foliaged, short, yellow variety C. Zagreb and the slightly taller creamy yellow C. Moonbeam. Both are simply amazing in terms of colour, all weather tolerance and continuous performance until October. Some interesting reds, like C. Red Satin and C. Cruizin Main Street, have been recently introduced. They match the yellows for adding new richness to our summer and fall gardens. Echinaceas are just now beginning to bloom, and today’s wide range of colours are outstanding. I especially love the Cheyenne Spirit series with its vibrant golds, yellows, oranges and reds. No other perennial geraniums perform like the famous Rozanne. It has a low-spreading habit and can be kept more compact with a little pruning. This blue flowered jewel blooms from June until we run out of fall weather. Blue is a hard colour to find in gardens, so that’s another bonus. Sedums are another
mainstay. Their strong upright blooms come in a wide range of colours, but the oldfashioned pink S. Autumn Joy is still pretty amazing. New varieties have lime, yellow or rose-coloured flowers and have a range of interesting foliage from black and burgundy to a nice pinky grey. The new low-growing Sparkler series has stunning foliage. Being succulent-like, their drought resistance is outstanding, making them welcome summer companions. Achillea is the sleeper of all perennials. The new Seduction series is great because it’s basil-branching and a repeat bloomer for continuous summer and fall colour. I like Strawberry Seduction for its beautiful red blooms that add not only colour, but also texture to any garden combination. It’s great used in containers too. Remember the red hot poker plants? Well, they’ve not only had a name change to kniphofia, but also a repeatblooming change as well. Their thin spiky foliage looks amazing combined with grasses, and their blooms of yellow, white, orange and bi-colours keep producing until fall. The Popsicle series is one of the best, and wow do they ever perform. Having quite a different look, they earn gold stars all around. Heleniums are the first true fall-coloured perennials with those red, orange and bicolour small flowers that herald late summer. There’s a new shorty now called H. Short Stuff that grows only 12 inches high and blooms a long time in places heleniums could not grow before. Other superstars are the many varieties of agastaches, such as Blue Boa, Summer Glow and Raspberry Summer. All are bee favourites. They need a little pruning to keep them in shape, but they bounce back within a few days with massive blooms. I love the many varieties of gaillardia because of their wide selection of desert colours: the yellows, oranges, reds and bi-colours. The newer Arizona series is more compact and thrives in both sun and drought. Its uniquely beautiful large flowers, with serrated petals, look very desert-like. The Japanese anemones’ many shades of pinks and whites are refreshingly cool looking. They will tolerate the sun, but morning sun and afternoon shade is best for these perennials that bloom until November. Most varieties are taller, growing up to a half a metre, but two new compact series called Cinderella and Pocahontas grow to about 30 cm tall and they are very prolific. These perennials will work overtime on your behalf, and they will do it again year after year. So, let’s get planting.

LINDE LOOKS TO SURPRISE MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
(Left to right) Jayden Nielsen, Eddie Wu and Jared MacLean helped lead the tennis team at Heritage Woods secondary school in Port Moody to its third consecutive provincial championship recently. All three graduating players are headed to post-secondary schools in the fall on tennis scholarships.

HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS
Team’s bond serves up success Third provincial championship for Heritage Woods’ tennis team no accident MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The University of Alberta in Edmonton, where winter can last from early October to late April, may seem an odd choice for Jared MacLean to pursue a tennis scholarship. But the school’s eight indoor courts and state-of-the-art training facilities at its Saville Community Sports Centre, as well as the presence of two former teammates from Heritage
Woods secondary school in Port Moody, made it an easy choice for the newlyhonoured Coquitlam Secondary Schools Athletic Association’s graduating male athlete of the year. In fact, that kind of kinship and camaraderie among the eight players of Heritage Woods’ tennis team that carries on even beyond their high school careers may be part of the reason the school has won the BC High School provincial tennis championship three years running, said Eddie Wu, another graduating player. “We practise together, we grew up together,” said Wu, who’s heading to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York in the fall, also on a tennis scholarship. Wu transferred to Heritage
Woods three years ago because he competed with another of the school’s graduating players, Jayden Nielsen, and she’d play up the team’s spirit and motivational leadership from its coach, Kelly Powell, during conversations between matches at tournaments they played together. Nielsen, who’s accepted a tennis scholarship at Sacramento State University in California, said the team works hard to make everyone a better player. “We cheer each other on,” she said. “We talk about what we need to work on.” MacLean said that support really paid off during a run of tough doubles matches at the recent high school championships at Vancouver’s Queen
Elizabeth Park. “We really had to have each other’s back,” he said, adding the senior members had to pick up the mantle of leadership for the team’s younger players. “We’ve got be someone they can look up to,” Wu said. All three players say the team atmosphere is a welcome break from the grind and stress of competing as individuals at the club level. “When it’s a team, even when you lose, you can still win as a team,” Nielsen said. “It’s the best of both worlds,” MacLean said. “It’s an individual sport but you’re also doing it for your team.” And that all-for-one onefor-all approach can be the difference-maker in matches
against similarly skilled and ranked opponents that can last up to three hours, Wu said. “It’s all mental,” he said. But even as they prepare to move on to their post-secondary challenges, the three graduating champions believe the connections they made at Heritage Woods will help them succeed there as well. And they won’t be leaving the bonds they’ve formed completely behind as they’ll still be competing with and against each other at regional and national tournaments during the summers, as well as keeping their eyes on their successors at their high school alma mater. “It’s not like we’re leaving forever,” MacLean said. “We’ll still be checking in.”

Coquitlam sprinter James Linde loves surprises. He surprised himself when he finished second to Canadian Olympian Andre De Grasse in the 100m race at last year’s Harry Jerome International Track Classic at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium. He did it again last August when he won silver in the 200m sprint at the World University Games in Taipei, Taiwan. And he’ll be looking to pull another rabbit out of his spikes next Tuesday when he settles into the starting blocks against another top international field in the 100m and 200m races at the 2018 Harry Jerome meet that is being held at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. A year ago, Linde was looking at winding down his athletic career that had brought him success at the club, provincial and Canadian university level. His schooling was over, student loans were beckoning repayment, it was time to move on and establish a career. But his result at the Jerome, and a subsequent fourth place in the 200m at the Canadian championships, thrust him among the country’s top sprinters as a carded member of the national team. Suddenly, track was Linde’s career. “I didn’t have to labour away and exhaust myself before training,” Linde said of the funding that allows him to dedicate his days to getsee LINDE, page 31

Coquitlam Metro-Ford forward Quintin Desaulniers keeps his eye on the ball as he battles for possession with Mountain-United FC defender Devin O’Hea in their Men’s U18 Provincial Premier Cup semifinal match, Saturday at Dr. Charles Best secondary school. Mountain-United won the match, 1-0, to advance to the finals that will be played this weekend in Victoria. Several Coquitlam teams will be making the ferry ride to Vancouver Island. They include: Metro-Ford’s men’s U17 team, which won its semi-final match, 5-1, over Port Moody Selects; Metro-Ford’s U13 girls team, which defeated Mountain United 4-3 on Sunday and will face Surrey United in the final; and Metro-Ford’s U13 girls team, which will play Mountain United in their final.

ting faster and stronger. But with that freedom comes expectation. Linde admitted he could feel the eyes on him. “It stressed me out at first.� Getting used to his new regime and learning how to manage the pressure has been an onging process, Linde said. And there have been some setbacks. A back injury hobbled
Linde’s early-season base training, and then last month at a national team relay camp at Louisiana State University he pulled his hamstring. Linde said working his way back into shape from those injuries has given him an appreciation for where he is and the opportunities track has provided. That’s helping him relax again, bring the fun back into running on the track. “I’m in my element when
I’m out there,â€? Linde said, adding he’s heading into next week’s Jerome meet with no expectations. “There’s some guys there that are faster than me,â€? he said. “I try not to run to win, as long as I can surprise myself.â€? • The Harry Jerome International Track Classic is being held June 26 and 27 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.

On May 21, at Crossroads Hospice, Norm lost his battle with Lymphoma. He had caught his last fish, climbed his last mountain, given away his decoys and went “Over the Rainbow Bridge” to meet up with his dogs, the old Norse Legend says, would be waiting!
Norm was born in his grandparent’s farmhouse near Montmartre, Sask. He was the son of Don and Kay Sherling who were long time residents of Cranbrook, B.C. Norm graduated from Mount Baker High School and he went on to U.B.C., where, in 1959, he received his degree in Mechanical Engineering.
COP, Frank Norbert Passed away peacefully at the age of 85 on June 15, 2018. Lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, Joanne (Authier), cherished son Stephen (Barb), and adored grandsons Christopher and Cory (fiancée Ashley Chappell).
An avid curler for many years, Norm was the first president of the newly opened Port Moody Curling Club and very active in the training of many new curlers as well as starting the Junior Curling Program. He was also Chairman of the Prostate Cancer Support Group for the Tri-Cities for 15 years.
Frank was predeceased by his parents Louis and Maria Smekens and brother Gus (Marie). Also survived by many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends.
There will be an informal gathering on Sunday, June 24th, from 1:00 to 4:00pm at the Pitt Meadows Golf Course, 13615 Harris Rd, Pitt Meadows. Please, come join us for refreshments with family and friends.
A celebration of his life is planned for a future date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.
Donations in memory of Norm to Crossroads Hospice Society or B.C. Foundation for Prostate Cancer would be greatly appreciated.
