PoCo eyed for possible SkyTrain link Newton and North Vancouver also in the running DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

For the first time since 2019, residents of the Tri-Cities were able to gather en masse to celebrate Canada’s 155th birthday last Friday (July 1). Events at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam, Rocky Point Park in Port Moody and Lions and Castle Parks in Port Coquitlam attracted thousands, including Omalima, who dressed up in her best red and white for Coquitlam’s party. See more photos on pages 7, 9 and 11. STEVE RAY/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Consultation will be critical, Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West says, as the city is being considered for a potential SkyTrain extension. The city is among three vying for rapid transit in a decade-long list of transportation priorities for Metro Vancouver recently approved by the Metro Vancouver mayors’ council and TransLink’s board of directors. An extension to Newton is also being pondered while a business case for rapid transit to North Vancouver has

given immediate priority in the plan that prioritizes the first 10 years of actions originally outlined in Transport 2050. The cost of the plan is estimated at $21 billion and, according to a news release, will “need significant new revenue sources and investments from all levels of government to deliver.” For the city’s mayor, the inclusion of a SkyTrain in Port Coquitlam as a priority for exploration is a recognition that the city is “under-served” when it comes to transit. However, West told the Tri-City News there is much work to be done before there are any shovels in the ground, let alone a route and funding. SEE

COURT

Amanda Todd’s YouTube account flooded with ‘threatening’ messages, police witness testifies JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Two former Coquitlam Mounties took the stand on Monday (July 4) in the fifth week of the “sextortion” trial involving Port Coquitlam student Amanda Todd. Const. Robin Sedgman, who is now with the Kelowna RCMP, and retired constable Andrea Schadeck testified about their meetings and communication with Todd family after Amanda received disturbing messages online in 2010 and 2011. Sedgman told Justice Martha Devlin and the 12-person jury at BC Supreme Court in New Westminster that she was part of the detachment’s sex crimes unit when she learned about a complaint from Todd’s mother, Carol, about a Dec. 22, 2010, message she received from a Facebook user named Alice McAllister. That message, which was shown as an exhibit to the jury, claimed the writer was part of an independent child protection service raising concerns about Amanda’s online activities and posted hyperlinks to motherless. com, a porn website, where Amanda was seen flashing her breasts and reaching into her pants. Sedgman testified she investigated the links, as well as Amanda’s YouTube

account that had also been flooded with “threatening” messages from a user named Whatsthisman11, the court heard. The YouTube message string, which was also entered as evidence, started: “Hello, there are videos and pictures of Amanda showing herself naked and doing very sexual things to hundreds of guys on BlogTV, Tinychat, Skype, MSN, etc. She needs to be stopped because most of them are older guys who record her and blackmail her into doing more.” Sedgman said she met with Amanda, Carol and Norm Todd at the detachment a week later to discuss the content and ways to keep Amanda safe, but “she was annoyed with being there,” Sedgman said of the teen girl. “She didn’t seem overly concerned with what was

happening.” The messages also referenced someone named Kody Maxson and provided his address in New Westminster; however, Sedgman said no one of that name lived there, and the police file closed.

CASE REOPENED

Sedgman testified the file reopened in October 2011 when Carol Todd informed police of another disturbing Facebook message — this time from someone named Tyler Boo. Both Sedgman and Schadeck visited Amanda and Norm Todd at their home in Maple Ridge to discuss online protection. Unlike her demeanour at the Coquitlam detachment in January, Amanda “was more frustrated at this point that this was still happening,” Sedgman said, referring to the alleged harassment. “She

wanted it to go away. She wanted it to stop…. She was frustrated that she wasn’t being left alone.” Schadeck said she spoke one-on-one with Amanda in her bedroom, after she stormed away, to “impress” on her the need for digital safety and to delete her online accounts; her Facebook account had more than 1,000 Facebook friends. “She didn’t like the advice we were giving her,” Schadeck said, but added Amanda later “calmed down and looked sad…. She said she was lonely.” Schadeck testified she took over the file when Sedgman was transferred to another policing unit and, after Amanda’s school administration received a disturbing email on Nov. 3, 2011, from someone named Katie Hutchkins about Amanda’s online activities, Schadeck con-

tacted B.C.’s Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) team to investigate the alleged cyberbullying. That email, which was shown as an exhibit to the jury, also included links to motherless.com and stated: “Many guys are recording her and posting her on X-rated sites so please inform her parents and authorities that she is doing this so they can make her stop. She is not listening and carries on while she knows they are recording and posting her like this.” In her opening statement, lead prosecutor Louise Kenworthy said the Crown will prove Aydin Coban of The Netherlands was behind 22 fake online accounts. He has pleaded not guilty to • extortion • importing and distributing child pornography • possession of child pornography • communicating with the intent to lure a child • criminal harassment None of the allegations is proven in court.

HIGH-TECH

Last Thursday afternoon, Warren Bulmer, a now-retired Toronto Police Service officer and a Crown witness who gave expert descriptions about online investigations, wrapped up his testimony after four days on the stand. Bulmer was flown in from

Brisbane, where he now works for the Australian Federal Police. In cross-examination throughout the day, defence counsel Joe Saulnier drilled down on data missing in Bulmer’s report to the Crown, as well as similarities between Facebook accounts associated with case — specifically Tyler Boo and Marc Cameron’s. Asked why large chunks of session data were absent from those accounts, Bulmer said he had no explanation. However, he testified, for accounts that showed repeated terminations or “log outs,” the social media giant may have had security concerns and was “doing its checks and balances,” Bulmer said. A Facebook account named Thomas Cocopops also had seven months worth of missing data, the court heard, and its device and browser used didn’t register when Bulmer did his analysis. Still, Bulmer said, the user access device (UAD) coding can be changed. Bulmer was also questioned about machine cookie copying and deletions, as well as recovered files from a device’s unallocated space. He also explained to the jury about virtual private networks (VPN), proxy servers and the Tor browser, which is known as the dark web. The trial continues.

Port Moody joins international call for fossil fuel treaty MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Montreal, Los Angeles, Buenos Aries, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Paris might sound like the itinerary for a dream trip around the world. But the international

cities are the company Port Moody is now keeping after councillors endorsed a call for the creation of a global fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty. The motion was introduced by Couns. Amy Lubik and Meghan Lahti

during the city’s regular public meeting last month. In a report, Lubik and Lahti said continued investments by the Canada and B.C. governments in expanding fossil fuel infrastructure and extraction projects are putting the

world at greater risk from the effects of climate change, like extreme weather events. “These events created billions of dollars in damages to local communities and it is only getting worse,” they explained, believing

a worldwide commitment to transition away from dependence on fossil fuels will not only mitigate the impacts of climate change, but could also “potentially lift millions of Canadians out of poverty.” The initiative for an

international fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty began at the 2021 United Nations (UN) General Assembly. Since then, a letter of support has been signed by more than 2,100 academics, researchers and health professionals.

A lot of work still to be done CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

“First and foremost, we’ll be consulting widely with our residents to get their input and feedback,” said West. “The city will be working closely with TransLink as they explore this extension. There is a lot of very detailed work that will need to be done and a number of stages to progress through.” West said the city lacks reliable, fast and direct transit. He added he has been “very vocal about that.” While the exact route and stations are a long way away, some preparation for SkyTrain to Port Coquitlam has been contemplated. When the Evergreen Line was built, provision was made for a possible future SkyTrain extension toward Port Coquitlam. The stub track branches off at Coquitlam Central Station and is generally aligned with the CP Rail corridor heading south east. A spokesperson for the City of Coquitlam has confirmed that while the City Centre Area Plan (CCAP) was being completed, the city was considering a PoCo extension. “We were in contact with TransLink to understand any plans for a potential SkyTrain extension,” stated a spokesperson for the city’s planning department. At that time, the transit authority wasn’t able to offer any firm commitment in terms of plans or budget, the spokesperson noted in an

email to the Tri-City News when the PoCo extension was first being touted in the 10-year plan. No land was held in reserve through the CCAP, but the City of Coquitlam has been advising any development applicants adjacent to the CP rail corridor of the potential expansion to work with TransLink on any required setbacks, the spokesperson stated. Port Coquitlam council has also been vocal about the need for a SkyTrain extension to the city, and in 2019 asked for a study, which has not yet been available. Other details in the plan include: • Up to nine new traffic-separated Bus Rapid Transit lines • More than doubling bus service over 2022 levels • Building the Burnaby Mountain Gondola to Simon Fraser University (SFU) • Extending the Millennium Line from Arbutus to UBC • Increasing HandyDART service by 60 per cent and providing 24-hour service • Building 450 kilometres of new traffic-separated cycling paths including bike networks in every Metro Vancouver Urban Centre • Introducing 200 new bike lockers and six new bike parkades • Increasing SeaBus service start and end times to match SkyTrain’s service hours • Traffic-separated bus service, called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

WHAT’S NEW?

FITNESS AND FUN

Alcohol Allowed in City Parks

Adults will now be able to drink alcohol responsibly at Coquitlam parks. The new bylaw was approved by Council earlier this week and allows for adults to drink responsibly at more than 50 parks in Coquitlam from dawn to dusk, excluding property owned, leased or licensed to the City by School District 43. Signage will be posted at parks letting users know if alcohol is allowed or not and a list of included parks can be found at coquitlam.ca/alcohol.

Updates Approved to Development Cost Charges

Coquitlam has updated its Development Cost Charges (DCCs) to ensure development continues to pay towards the cost of new roads, utilities, parks and other growth-related infrastructure. Following provincial approval of the new DCCs program, Council approved the related fees, which will go into effect on Oct. 1, 2022. Building permits, as well as subdivision, rezoning and development permit applications, completed and received prior to the effective date, will be exempt from fee increases for one year. For more information, see coquitlam.ca/dccupdate. HAVE YOUR SAY

Coquitlam Launches Update to Strategic Transportation Plan

How we move people and goods in, through and around Coquitlam is changing. So it’s time to update our Strategic Transportation Plan (STP). The City adopted the current STP in 2012 and there have been significant changes since that time, including the addition of SkyTrain, consideration of different kinds of street users, and emerging technologies to address climate change mitigation and adaptation. The revised STP will take 18 to 24 months to complete. There will be several opportunities for public engagement over the course of the Plan’s development starting with a public survey available now at letstalkcoquitlam.ca/transportationplan. Looking for more info on events and activities in Coquitlam?

Ultimately, the STP will balance public feedback along with technical analysis, best practices, City and regional plans and strategies, budget and overall community need.

Coquitlam Approach to Community Engagement

As the City’s overall business has become more complex with more complicated decisions being made, Coquitlam has brought in more tools to meet the public’s growing expectations for information and opportunities for input. This includes a new Community Engagement Framework that will guide why, when and how the City informs and involves the community in decisions being made. Public input is one part of the City’s decision-making process that also considers community need, budget, other strategies and plans, legislation, operational and technical considerations, and staff expertise. To read the Framework or to learn more about opportunities to engage with the City, visit coquitlam.ca/engagement. TRAFFIC HOT SPOTS

Summer Road Work

During the summer months there is an increase in roadwork due to the more favourable weather. To ensure residents and businesses can plan ahead, those on roads that are directly impacted by work are notified by mail. For the greater community, electronic signage is installed informing them of the work taking place. To lessen impacts on busy arterial routes, occasionally work is done during non-peak hours or in the evening. Tips for when work is taking place in your neighbourhood: • Watch for work crews and equipment • Obey all traffic control personnel and signs, including construction speed limits • Use alternate routes to avoid delays

Common touch buoyed Horgan

Last Week t

hen John Horgan departs the Premier’s Office for the last time a few months from now, B.C. will say goodbye to one of its most successful occupants. Few of Horgan’s predecessors can point to as long a list of accomplishments as well as an enduring ability to remain popular with the general public, even as controversies inevitably pile up at the door. Horgan has just entered his sixth year in office, an achievement that seemed very doubtful on the night of the 2017 provincial election, when the B.C. Liberals ended up winning the most seats but not enough to form a majority government. After forging a non-aggression pact with Green Party leader Andrew Weaver, Horgan was able

to secure his own de facto majority. He then turned it into a robust one free of the need to co-operate with the Greens with a decisive and historic election victory in 2020. While there has been the occasional misstep, Horgan has run a largely problem-free government almost since Day 1 of taking office. Aided no doubt by an unprecedented global pandemic that saw citizens everywhere look at government through an appreciative lens, Horgan has been able to consistently display the attribute that pretty much all political leaders in a democracy strive for: the common touch. He earned the nickname “Premier Dad” for his knack of simultaneously doling out helpful advice while at the same time

chiding those guilty of misbehavior or not following the “rules” that came with living in a pandemic. His personal popularity grew over time (although it slipped a bit in the last opinion poll), which is an almost unheard of accomplishment for a B.C. premier. Aside from a deft personal touch, one of his key strengths was to steer his government largely down the political middle with a touch of progressive populism thrown in from time to time. Getting rid of the tolls on two Fraser River bridges at the start of the first mandate was a deft and effective move. So was eliminating medical service plan premiums. Overhauling ICBC almost overnight meant lower car insurance rates

and even rebates to motorists to the tune of hundreds of dollars. Horgan’s decision to not only embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples but to enshrine it into law may well be the most far-reaching decision by any government in B.C. history. The implications of that decision will last generations. Horgan’s election win in 2020 altered the political landscape, as the NDP won in communities they were long shut out of: Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Richmond. Popular, historic and lasting: those are three terms to describe what will be John Horgan’s legacy from his time in office. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

a great comfort then and continues to be as I recover. Joan Pain Coquitlam

The Editor: I am upset and I want the world of those who use motorized bikes, skateboards, wheelchairs and scooters to pay attention. Too many of them are irresponsible in their travels on the sidewalks and pathways of the Tri-Cities. A tablemate at my retirement residence in Port Coquitlam has been frightened unduly by such people whose actions are

giving a bad name to all of us who ride mobility devices. When a lady just walking her small dog gets scared out of her wits by some motorized vehicle ride, without warning, almost hitting her or her dog, it’s time to start patrolling to remind these riders to be responsible.

COQUITLAM

No more excuses for missing garbage day New app will also alert you about schedule changes KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Did you forget when the next pickup day is for your garbage, recycling and

organic waste materials in Coquitlam? There’s an app for that. The city is reminding local residents of its free mobile app that keeps them informed about curbside waste collection, including reminders when your day is coming up and if there are any service disruptions. In a release, Shannon

Hadley, Coquitlam’s solid waste and special projects manager, said those who choose to use the app can customize it to set collection updates for garbage and green carts. She added it’s also a way “to stay connected” as it alerts residents of any changes, including when the collection calendar shifts

due to statutory holidays or inclement weather. As well, the tool has a recycling database that allowed the user to search proper disposing methods for specific items. “The City of Coquitlam does not manage curbside recycling collection,” explained Hadley. “It is a service provided

at no cost to residents by Recycle BC, the not-forprofit organization responsible for residential packaging and paper product recycling throughout British Columbia.” The app is the product of a decade-long partnership with the digital recycling and outreach program ReCollect. For more information on Coquitlam’s waste-related services, you’re encouraged to visit the city’s website at coquitlam.ca. Smartphone users can download the curbside

collection app from the App Store or Google Play. If you don’t have a smartphone, a paper copy of Coquitlam’s 2022–23 curbside collection schedule is also being distributed to mailboxes. As well, residents with computers can print off a physical copy of a personalized schedule off the city’s website, or set up email alerts of collection days. If you have a landline, the city also set you up with a phone call reminder about your collection days.

TERRY FOX RIDE OF HOPE

Cyclists remember hero, raise funds on rides Last year’s effort raised $18,000 for cancer research

his older brother, Terry, the Canadian icon who started what we now know as the annual Terry Fox Run, which takes place on Sept. 18, 2022.

DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Darrell Fox is still seething over the memory of his first bike. It wasn’t a flashy Raleigh or Peugeot 10 speed, like those purchased by his older brothers Terry and Fred Fox. “Mom wouldn’t let me buy a drop bar bike,” recalls Darrell, who remembers riding through his Port Coquitlam neighbourhood off Shaughnessy Street. Instead of a 10-speed, Fox rode a less glamorous five-speeder he purchased working long hours picking blueberries at the end of Prairie Avenue. Now, decades later, Fox is a dedicated road warrior who likes nothing more than to sweat on long rides that are a challenge, but less de-

11 speed now — his old five-speeder a distant memory — and his rides are challenges reminiscent of

“I’m like Terry a bit,” sayid Darrell. “I like to push myself.” Everyone knows about the annual fall run, which is a big event in Port Coquitlam, but fewer know about the effort Fox created for avid cyclists like himself. It’s called the Terry Fox Ride of Hope, and soon, he and hundreds of other Canadians will be mounting their bikes for a cycling challenge to raise funds for the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research. For seven years, Fox has organized the Terry Fox Ride of Hope, which, this year, is open to anyone who wants to ride and collect funds or join other long rides as part of a national effort. On July 9, Fox will join several teammates for a 360 km ride through the Fraser

Valley, starting at the Terry Fox Hometown Square behind the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (PCCC), eventually ending up in Chilliwack. The ride takes place in memory of his brother Terry Fox, who became a national hero and an inspirational figure for his battle against cancer and attempted cross-country run. “The goal is remembering that what Terry wanted is one more dollar — that’s the whole focus — raising money for cancer research,” said Fox. Last year, Fox’s team of 18 cyclists raised $87,000 in funds for the Terry Fox Foundation.

EARLY START

His ride this year, which begins at 5:30 a.m. on July 9 in PoCo, will take about 14 hours, including eight rest stops. It is already full of registered riders. But people are encouraged to support Fox’s Vancouver/Fraser Valley

ride by making a donation, or register and set up their own fundraising page and ride solo or with a group of friends. The original Terry Fox Ride of Hope took place in 2015, with the commemoration of the 35th Marathon of Hope anniversary. Fox rode 350 km with a group of friends to Mount Terry Fox as a personal challenge and the event has grown from there. There were also many special moments as the cyclists would stop at points along the way and recite a quote from Terry Fox and take a photo. Now, Fox hopes other cyclists will join in the effort by setting their own distances and routes, whether it be 10 km or 360 km. “We are reaching out to those Terry Foxers who are cyclists and want to give back,” said Fox. For more information about the Terry Fox Ride of Hope, you can visit the initiative’s website.

SUMMER IN THE CITY

PoMo considering booze in parks, public spaces Neighbouring cities like Coquitlam already allow it MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

It might soon be possible for visitors to Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park or the Queens Street Plaza to enjoy a beer or glass of wine. But how soon will depend on when staff is able to report back to council with a policy crafted to allow the “responsible” consumption of alcohol in the city’s parks and public spaces. Councillors unanimously endorsed a motion put forward by Coun. Meghan Lahti to begin the process that would bring city regulations in line with neighbouring communities like Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and New Westminster that now have rules in place allowing people to drink in

parks. “Other communities have moved forward, but Port Moody has not,” she

said during council’s regular public meeting last Tuesday (June 28), hoping the policy could be in place this sum-

mer before council recesses in August. Lahti added the change would be a pilot project

and staff would present its challenges and successes in January 2023. But Port Moody’s director of environment and parks, Julie Pavey-Tomlinson, explained implementing a policy isn’t as simple as just writing one up and getting it approved. She said communities like Vancouver that have embarked upon similar pilot projects have faced extra expenses for costs like maintenance, cleaning up litter and erecting signage. “I do think there is a budget and resource component as well,” Pavey-Tomlinson said. “I think it will take a little time to pull together.” Mayor Rob Vagramov wondered if requiring people to consume their alcohol in discreet, generic containers like cups might soften the visual impact of drinking in the city’s parks and public spaces. “The only real pushback I see is some people don’t

want to see and know what people are drinking,” he said. Coun. Hunter Madsen said public alcohol consumption might send a bad message to people struggling with alcohol addiction. “They know to avoid the bar and certain restaurants, and now when they go to the park people will have their bottles out and they’re having a great time,” he said. “Alcoholism is the rampant addiction of our time.” Lahti said the emphasis of the change would be on the “responsible” consumption of alcohol, noting there would be rules in place prohibiting drinking near playgrounds as well as other amenities primarily used by children and youth. “Responsible consumption of liquor in parks is one way many municipalities have responded to the growing demand for residents to gather and socialize in outdoor public spaces,” Lahti said in a report.

A Centennial Secondary graduate, Bottos said in a news release he wants to “advocate for complete affordable communities where people can live, work and play.” He seeks a balance between providing infrastructure and housing to meet a growing population, while also being “mindful that our growing city continues to encroach on wildlife habitat.” Bottos also says he supports more education to “ensure public safety while minimizing our impact on our environment.” Concerns of people with disabilities is also an issue, in which Bottos has been a member of Coquitlam’s Universal Access-Ability Advisory Committee for the past five years.

COQUITLAM SEARCH AND RESCUE

Injured hiker winched from Widgeon Falls Rescue was first to use new helicopter hoist mechanism KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam Search and Rescue (SAR) was able to use a new piece of equipment for the very first time to rescue an injured hiker near Widgeon Falls. A woman was taken to hospital after sustaining a serious lower limb injury when she fell on a wet, slippery slope at the site — located nearly 20 km northeast of Coquitlam City Centre — at around noon on July 2. In a social media post, Coquitlam SAR explained its team used a helicopter hoist to bring the hiker to safety as the spot where the victim

was found was deemed impossible to access. As a result, local volunteers had to be lowered by a cable to the victim and hoisted the hiker up by way of three rescue techs in a Talon Helicopter AS365N2 Dauphin. “Once on scene, it was evident she had a severe knee injury, sustained after a fall at that site,” Coquitlam SAR said about the “landmark” event. “The subject’s knee was immobilized with a vacuum splint, she was winched into the helicopter and flown to rendezvous with BC Ambulance.” This was the fifth helicopter rescue of the year for Coquitlam SAR out of 25 calls it’s responded to thus far. Manager Al Hurley told the Tri-City News the

year,” Hurley said. “We get more than a dozen calls on average for helicopter rescue, so it will depend on the terrain, time of day and how remote the rescue site is.” Hurley said it took more than an hour to find the injured hiker as the steep terrain area she was found was surrounded by a heavy

half-century organization has had a special helicopter rescue team for 10 years, but it’s been using a fixed line to bring people to safety. He said the hoist mechanism was only added to the fold last month. “This rescue tool training has been advocated for well over a year and we got approval to proceed earlier this

CRIME

Police seeking witnesses, info in PoCo murder Police say 37-yearold victim was known to them KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

A 37-year-old man was identified was the victim of Port Coquitlam’s first known homicide of 2022. Mehdi “Damien” Eslahian was shot and killed in the early hours of last Thursday morning (June 30) along Davies Avenue and investigators say he was

known to police. The incident was targeted, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) in an update on July 2 as the special B.C. police division continues to seek information from the public. However, spokesperson Sgt. David Lee said detectives do not believe it’s related to any ongoing gang conflict or violence in the Lower Mainland. “This was an area of low traffic and activity,” he said. “If anyone was travelling in this area and has dashcam

footage, we ask that they contact IHIT.” Coquitlam RCMP were first called around 1 a.m. last Thursday after receiving calls of a shooting on 2700block Davies Avenue — east of Westwood Street near its intersection with Fox Street. IHIT took lead on the case after Mounties found Eslahian deceased at the scene and secured the area for evidence collection. Lee said investigators are hoping to identify suspects and witnesses to the shooting by releasing Eslahian’s name, who was a PoCo

resident. Officers are seeking witness statements, as well as dashcam or CCTV video of the incident in hopes of moving the investigation forward. More specifically, police are asking for footage between 10 p.m. June 29 and 2 a.m. June 30 in the area around 2000-block Davies

Avenue, and the intersection of Hastings Street and Lougheed Highway. “A timeline of Mr. Eslahian’s movements is being constructed,” said a statement from IHIT. “IHIT investigators are looking to speak to Mr. Eslahian’s associates to determine is activities.” Homicide detectives

are also working the case with Coquitlam RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS) and the BC Coroners Service. Anyone with more information about the shooting, or video footage from the scene, is urged to call IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Larger-than-life summer shows at Malkin Bowl Something Rotten! and We Will Rock You at Malkin Bowl JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The first time Brent Hughes played as a musician with Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) was three decades ago as a university student. Now, the music teacher at Coquitlam’s Dr. Charles Best Secondary is back in the pit for his 10th time — and second as its music director. Hughes is leading the 11-person orchestra in Something Rotten!, one of two musicals that opened last weekend at the Malkin Bowl at Stanley Park. “Any time I get the chance to be with TUTS, I grab it,” the Port Coquitlam resident told the Tri-City News on Monday (July 4).

Date: Time: Location:

Above, Port Coquitlam’s Tim Howe (far left, standing) plays the villain sidekick Kashoggi in We Will Rock You. Below, Something Rotten! is also at TUTS. EMILY COOPER

For this summer’s run, Hughes said he was especially pleased that TUTS was presenting Something Rotten!, a new satire that incorporates a variety of musical genres — from Broadway tunes to rock hits. It follows two playwright siblings, Nick and Nigel Bottom, as they try to pen a hit musical in 1595 to compete against The Bard:

TIM HOWE

BRENT HUGHES

William Shakespeare. “Shakespeare is the rock star,” Hughes said, “and the brothers are in his shadow.” Still, Hughes isn’t the only Tri-City resident involved in the production. Nicol Spinola is the choreographer while Holly Bradbury, Joaquin Little and Jordyn Bennett are in the ensemble. Meanwhile, Port Coquitlam resident Tim Howe will make his début with TUTS as the villain sidekick Kashoggi in We Will

Rock You, which runs in alternate nights. Featuring hits from the rock band Queen, the show sees Galileo and Scaramouche — and their gang of misfits — 300 years from now, as they fight for freedom from Killer Queen, who has banned music. Second-in-command gang member Kashoggi is particularly fun to portray, Howe said, noting the show is suitable for ages 10 and up. “Once COVID ended, I auditioned for everything,”

he said, adding, “It’s a great gig to spend the summer doing Theatre Under The Stars. It’s certainly a bucket list item.” The tenor said he’s been working with musical director Christopher King, as well as his vocal coach partner, to fine tune his parts in the score. “Everyone has been very welcoming and professional,” Howe said of his first TUTS experience. “This has been such a truly relaxing show.... And the ensemble really makes me look good.” Tickets for Something Rotten! and We Will Rock You range from $30 to $65. Theatre Under The Stars runs until Aug. 27 (performances alternate evenings) at the Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park (610 Pipeline Rd., Vancouver). All shows begin at 8 p.m. except on fireworks nights (July 23, 27 and 30) when they start at 7 p.m. Visit tuts.ca or call 1-800-514-3849.

LIVE MUSIC M U LT I C U LT U R A L I S M

Polish art show, concert in PoMo A Tri-City group that celebrates Polish culture launched its annual art show at Port Moody city hall on Monday. The grand opening for the 7th Polish–Canadian Art Fusion Exhibition is on Saturday (July 10) and will showcase works from 27 Polish artists now in B.C. One of the pieces is a giant painting from the Whistler Mountain Gallery by Dominik Modlinski. Hana and Tony Kostka of the Polonez Tri-City Polish Association said many of the exhibiting artists also took part in the Polish Artists for Ukraine art auction, held during the BC Polish Festival in Port Coquitlam in May. The cheque from that fund-

raiser, which brought in more than $6,000 for humanitarian relief in Ukraine, will be presented at the grand opening that runs from 2 to 5 p.m. The art show closes July 15 at Port Moody city hall (100 Newport Dr.). Meanwhile, after the grand opening, the association will host a concert called The Art of Music in the Inlet Theatre starting at 4:30 p.m. The Vancouver Folk Ensemble will perform “Oy u luzi chervona kalyna” — a song that’s also known as Ukraine’s second national anthem. Admission is $30. For tickets, visit theartofmusic.bpt.me or call 604380-3805. Visit poloneztri-city. org.

Summer Sundays is back at park After two years of signing up acts for Summer Sundays and then cancelling contracts due to the COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings, George Balzer is ready to roll out his shows. And, apparently, the Port Moody resident has a lot of fans waiting to enjoy the music. The organizer of the 14th annual concert series at Rocky Point Park said demand has been strong, with people eager to know when the free entertainment will be back. “There have been a lot of emails and social media requests,” Balzer told the TriCity News, which is a series sponsor. “People want to get out more than ever before.” The 2022 lineup is one of his best, featuring two Juno Award winners and tribute bands: • July 10 at 2 p.m: Gabriel Mark Hasselbach • July 10 at 3 p.m.: Incognito with Nadine States • July 24 at 2 p.m.: Laurie

The Legendary R&B AllStars, a 10-piece band that’s been perfoming for 50 years, wrap up the 14th annual Summer Sundays concert series at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody on Sept. 4 with a show at 2 p.m. R&B ALLSTARS

Morvan Band • July 31 at 2 p.m.: Matlin Starsley Band • July 31 at 3:45 p.m.: Big City Soul • Aug. 7 at 2 p.m.: Tom Lavin & The Legendary Powder Blues • Aug. 14 at 2 p.m.: West Coast Chicago • Aug. 21 at 2 p.m.: American Woman

• Aug. 28 at 2 p.m.: Kalimba - The Spirit of Earth, Wind and Fire • Sept. 4 at 2 p.m.: The Legendary R&B Allstars In addition, Balzer programmed the three days of music for RibFest, a Port Moody Rotary event that also returns to Rocky Point Park after the pandemic hiatus July 15, 16 and 17.

But while there’s no charge to see Summer Sundays, donations are accepted for the Crossroads Hospice Society. Since 2006, attendees have contributed more than $40,000. Still, Balzer isn’t alone in his fundraising: Fellow Rotarian Danne Dunlop also helps with organization and Clayton Anderson runs the parking, while Balzer’s wife, Linda, takes the donations and sells tickets to the Christmas concert: this year, it’s Eagle Eyes for Dec. 10. Balzer advises guests bring lawn chairs and blankets, as well as snacks and drinks (or purchase food at nearby eateries) as there is no liquor licence or food trucks on site. As for the cost to put on the Summer Sundays series, Balzer said it’s all paid for by sponsors and “some are stepping up more than ever before to make this a special year.” Visit summersundays.ca for more details.

Wrestlers, thrower to Commonwealth Games KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Two Coquitlam-based wrestlers are going to mat for Canada at one of the biggest sports competitions in the world. Ana Godinez Gonzalez and Darthe Capellan are among two dozen wrestlers named to wear the maple leaf at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The event, that is expected to attract more than 5,000 athletes from 72 countries, is being held in Birmingham, England, July 28–Aug 8. Godinez Gonzalez won the women’s 62 kg championship and Capellan was the men’s 57 kg champion at the Canadian wrestling trials in May. Godinez Gonzalez, 22, is also the reigning world champion after she claimed

her first international gold at the 2021 under-23 world championships in Serbia. Most recently, she claimed the senior Pan-American title. Meanwhile, Capellan is hoping his trip to England will result in his first international hardware in three years. The 26-year-old wrestler won bronze at the 2019 PanAmerican Games in Peru, and he recently placed fifth at the 2022 Senior Pan-Am Championships. Capellan is currently ranked 35th in the 57 kg category of United World Wrestling — the global governing body for the sport. Both wrestlers are members of the Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club.

THROWER GOING

Port Coquitlam’s Kaila Butler will compete in the

hammer throw at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England. The 23-year-old Terry Fox grad recently completed her collegiate career at Bowling Green University in Ohio. This past season she set a personal-best throw of 69.35 m en route to winning the 2022 Len Paddock Invitational in Michigan. At the time, her result was tops in the Big 10 conference and the ninth-best throw of the season in the NCAA. At the recent NCAA national championships in Eugene, Ore, Butler threw the hammer 66.13 m and finished 13th. During her NCAA career, Butler was named an all-American three times. In June, Butler finished third at the Harry Jerome Classic in Burnaby, and she won the Victoria International Track Classic

with a throw of 67.66 m. At the Kamloops Throws Festival, she achieved a

throw of 64.27 m. She followed those performances with a third-

place finish at the Canadian outdoor championships. Langley.

YOUTH SOCCER

Metro-Ford teams win titles Boys U15 team going on to nationals in October KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com

Three teams from Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club (CMFSC) are basking in the glow of winning provincial championships recently. And one of those teams will be headed to Charlottetown, P.E.I., in October to represent British Columbia at the Canadian national club

soccer championships. CMFSC’s U14 girls squad capped a perfect season with a 1-0 victory over Mountain United FC from Burnaby at their provincial final at Minoru Park in Richmond. Elena Stalone scored the winning goal.

U18 WINNERS

On the boys side, the U18 team defeated Vancouver Island Wave 2-1 in their final. Mateo Brazinha, who’s committed to the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades for the coming season, scored for CMFSC, along with teammate Luca Di Francesco.

The team finished the 2021–22 season atop the standings with a record of 9-2-1. Meanwhile, Joaquim Dharamsi scored both goals to lead his U15 side to a 2-1 win over Fusion FC from Richmond to claim its provincial title. The result capped a remarkable rise from a fourth-place finish during regular-season play with a 4–5–2 record . It also sends the team to the Maritimes for the national championship Oct. 5 to 10. Two Metro-Ford teams, the U18 girls and U14 boys, won silver at the provincials.

OBITUARIES

OBITUARIES SUND, Mariette Valentene (nee DeVrieze) February 6, 1932 - June 17, 2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mariette. She left peacefully at Eagle Ridge Hospital in her 90th year during early morning. Mariette was sharp and active right until the end, but eventually the condition of her health made it impossible to carry on.

Celebration of Life for HAMLIN, Lindsey Jane It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Lindsey Jane Hamlin. Her journey came to a sudden but peaceful end on May 10, 2022. She was with her husband, Kyle Mohammed and her two young sons, Kai and Kord. They had just purchased a new home in Edmonton and were so excited to explore this new chapter in their lives. Lindsey was born in New Westminster, BC on December 24, 1981. She was raised in Port Coquitlam and later moved to Surrey where she began her family with Kyle. In January 2020, Lindsey, Kyle and their sons moved to Edmonton to pursue a new career opportunity where the future was looking very bright. Lindsey leaves behind her parents, Richard Dale Hamlin and Penny Hamlin (Lee). Her brother, Jonathan Hamlin (Amy). Also her mother-in-law, Irma Mohammed and the Mohammed family of Kevin, Kurt (Karen), Kazim (Joe), along with two nieces (Kali and Lucy) and two nephews (Kieran and Jay). Lindsey had many caring family members and friends who share in her loss. Lindsey will be most remembered as a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her happy disposition, great humour and smile were freely given and deeply meant. She loved animals and people and was always willing to jump into action if someone expressed a need. Lindsey could light up any room with her presence! She will be missed immensely. We welcome you to attend a Celebration of Lindsey’s Life, which will be held at Sapperton Community Hall, 318 Keary Street, New Westminster on August 6, 2022 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

Born in Winnipeg and raised in Fort Gary, Manitoba; Mariette grew up with her brother John and sister Georgette. They shared a closeness during oftenchallenging times. Mariette’s early years were memorable and great stories were shared about the dairy farm and also the Winnipeg Free Press. During 1953, she met her husband Harry and then started a family. In 1972, as a result of Harry’s work, the family moved to Coquitlam, BC. Mariette’s career also changed as she accepted a position with the Burnaby school board. They enjoyed being together and travelling together. Many family vacations and extended family celebrations were enjoyed - the trips to Las Vegas and Reno were a favourite. After her husband’s passing, she continued to enjoy travel to Europe with friends as a retiree. Mariette was predeceased by her husband Harry, brother John, mother Mary (Clincke), and father Alfonse. She is survived by sons Michael & John; daughters-in-law Katalin & Lisa; and grandchildren Annika, Eric, Mark, and Daevin. Also mourning her passing are sister Georgette Supeene, niece Julie Supeene (Huppe), nephew Ken Supeene, sisterin-law Joyce DeVrieze, and many great nieces and nephews. Special thanks to the wonderful nurses and staff at Eagle Ridge Hospital for the outstanding care that she received. Mariette will be put to rest in a private ceremony. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
