Kyle Centre repairs cost big bucks Plan could have an impact on other city projects MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Taryn Barker, of The Little Butcher in Port Moody’s NewPort Village, is sharpening her knives in preparation for joining Canada’s team at the World Butcher Challenge in Sacramento, Calif., on Sept. 2 and 3. The international competition was supposed to held in 2020, but was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. See the story on Page 11. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Repairing Port Moody’s Kyle Centre will cost almost $3 million. Last Tuesday, council voted to move the project forward to the design development phase, even though questions remain about the 44-year-old building’s longterm future and if the cost to fix it could impact other planned projects in the city. A staff report presented to council said Kyle Centre has “reached a stage where the building envelope needs to be replaced.”
An engineering company hired in 2020 to assess the building’s condition further said many of Kyle Centre’s existing building envelope assemblies, windows and skylights are in such poor shape they no longer meet current building code requirements. A followup report completed last May by JRS Engineering in Burnaby estimates the cost to repair those items, including replacing the roof, will be $2,832,300. Port Moody’s general manager of finance and technology, Paul Rockwood, said while the money to proceed is available from the city’s density bonus fund that is fuelled by contribuSEE

COURT
Evidence in Amanda Todd cyberbullying case is circumstantial, defence says in closing arguments Crown Counsel wraps up their case in nine-week trial JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com
Warning: This story contains graphic content; reader discretion is advised. The defence lawyers for Dutch citizen Aydin Coban began their closing arguments Tuesday afternoon (Aug. 2), stating to the jury that Crown Counsel’s case is circumstantial and they should acquit. Lead defence counsel Joe Saulnier said prosecutors failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that his client was the person who extorted, harassed and lured Port Coquitlam student Amanda Todd from 2009–12. “The Crown hasn’t proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it was Mr. Coban who authored the messages,” Saulnier told the six men and six women on the jury, as well as Judge Martha Devlin at BC Supreme Court in New Westminster. Coban, 44, 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. Saulnier said that Coban was a computer repairman at the time of the alleged offences. He also raised doubt about how Todd portrayed herself online versus comments she made to RCMP about her personal safety. On the fifth count of criminal harassment, Saulnier questioned whether Todd

was scared about the digital content she was receiving, as Crown Counsel alleged the teen was forced to move to a different municipality and change schools because of her “sextortionist.” Saulnier claimed the move was “unrelated to the online extortion” and alluded to an incident at her old school “involving a boy.” Although her parents and police were concerned about Todd’s online protection, “Amanda Todd was more concerned about her friends’ list,” he alleged. Saulnier also argued that sending a URL link doesn’t constitute distribution of child porn and, for possession, the Dutch devices did not contain an original file of Todd. “No images of Amanda Todd were found on any of the Dutch devices. No videos of Amanda Todd were found on the Dutch devices, let alone child pornography,” Saulnier said. Crown Counsel alleged scrubbing software was located on Coban’s devices. They also claimed Coban was behind 22 fake online accounts in a “persistent
campaign of online sextortion” against Todd.
CROWN FINISHES
On Tuesday morning, lead prosecutor Louise Kenworthy said that there is so much evidence against the Dutch citizen that it would be “preposterous to think anybody else but Mr. Coban” was at the controls. At the end of her closing, Kenworthy pointed to devices and information that police seized from a rented home in the Netherlands that she says conclusively links him to the offences. In her submissions, she referenced one device taken by Dutch National Police on the day Coban was arrested, on Jan. 13, 2014, that had a notice of termination in Coban’s name. On other devices, forensic police experts found associations to aliases that Kenworthy claimed Coban created and used to chat and webcam with Todd. Yet another seized device contained an employment letter and ING bank statements in Coban’s name, as well as similar folder pathway names used on other devices.
In addition, communication sent out from the devices was in English, Dutch and Turkish — all languages that Coban’s friend testified Coban spoke with him, Kenworthy told the court. She also pointed to an IP address that she said was used to connect to a neighbour’s Wi-Fi router, as well as computer bookmarks on the devices — one of which was for Thomann, a European musical instrument shop. Crown Counsel showed an image from the rented home in the Netherlands that had a box with the word “Thomann” across it. “Another piece of evidence to add to the pile,” Kenworthy told the jury. Further, Kenworthy noted the “treasure trove” of deleted data recovered by police from a device: • an email address from a woman who testified she was hoping to rent a Rotterdam apartment from a person who she said was Coban • a phone number that was provided to the same woman and was also used to register online aliases • the name of the last municipality that Coban lived in • email addresses that were variations of previous
aliases to chat with Todd. “The only person who would have done this is Aydin Coban,” Kenworthy alleged. “Who else but Mr. Coban would have put this information on the computer?” She added before the jury, “This is a clear case…. All roads lead to Mr. Coban. He was the person who committed these offences. I ask you to find him guilty on all charges.”
22 FAKE ALIASES
Last Friday, Kenworthy pointed to a Hitachi hard drive found in a box in Bedroom 3, which had a Windows virtual machine, in use from July 2008 to February 2011. Kenworthy said digital forensic experts recovered connections to Todd and her friends via these aliases: • marzattack1 (Skype) • whatsthisman11 (YouTube) • kelseyrain2 (Skype) • Tomas Coco Pops (Facebook) • toddtit (Skype) • Katie Hutchkins (Gmail) • zackzoof (Skype) • kody maxson (Facebook) • Alice Mcallister (Facebook) There was also evidence
AYDIN COBAN
on the Hitachi device that an alias named Daimon Luci had a video file named “amanda todd.wmv.” On Nov. 9, 2009, when Todd was 11, Luci ordered Todd to give him her Skype address “or I will send this video to all the Todd family.” That video had been played on Dec. 26, 2010 — the same day two video links to the porn site motherless. com were uploaded, the court heard. Kenworthy said the hard drive also contained Facebook folders with the name “Amanda Todd” that were used to gather personal details about her, her family, friends and school. “He wasn’t keeping all of that information in his head,” Kenworthy said, noting the folders “allowed him to pursue his scheme.” On another hard drive, a Western Digital device also found in a box in Bedroom 3, more aliases with links to Todd were recovered: • kelseyrain2 (Skype) • Monica Stewart (Facebook) • zackbrutalnot (Skype) • Marc Camerons (Facebook) • tylersike123 (Skype) • Katie Hutchkins (Gmail) • amandaluzl1 (Skype) • Austin Collins (Facebook) • Tyler Boo (Facebook) • zackczack (Facebook) • codyroxhard (Skype) The trial continues.

tions from developers in return for increased density to their projects, it would likely mean other projects would have to move down the priority queue. City manager Tim Savoie
said council could learn of those in the fall. That concerned Coun. Diana Dilworth. “I don’t think we have a plethora of density bonus funds waiting to be spent,” she said. Coun. Meghan Lahti
cautioned the cost of repairs is steep considering the building might ultimately be replaced if the city’s recent request for proposals for seniors housing and a new Kyle Centre from developers looking to build in the surrounding neigh-
bourhood bears fruit. “I’m still really resistant to spending that kind of money on the repairs without knowing what is going to happen on that site and what is going to happen to that building,” she said. But Mayor Rob
Vagramov said Kyle Centre is in such poor condition, it needs to be fixed so it can continue to be used currently, let alone into the future. “The building needs to get attention,” he said. “We’re going to rebuild, but
it’s going to take another decade. We need to get on with this work.” Besides hosting seniors and community programming, Kyle Centre also served as an emergency warming shelter for the homeless last winter.

PoMo pushes for protections
Mulberry PARC Seniors’ Wellness Expo
Tenants especially vulnerable in an era of climate change MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Port Moody wants more protections for tenants, especially vulnerable, low-income renters. Council recently endorsed a motion put forth by Coun. Amy Lubik for a resolution to be submitted to the annual fall convention of the Union of BC Municipalities that calls upon the province to update minimum standards for maintaining rental properties. Those standards would include maximum and minimum safe temperatures as well as specific definitions to address concerns about serious mold. Lubik also wants local governments to have the authority to undertake repairs of problems in rental suites that could cause health or safety concerns for tenants, then recover costs from landlords. In a report, Lubik said current rules for maintenance of rental properties are “fairly vague,” putting some tenants at risk. She said according to a report of the Mayors Task Force on Housing undertaken in Burnaby, “inadequate maintenance and building conditions” are a major problem faced by renters across the province. “When a unit or a building
AMY LUBIK
is in disrepair, the tenant’s health, safety and quality of life is at risk,” said Lubik in her report that she drafted in collaboration with councillors from Richmond, New Westminster and Victoria. She said the dangers posed by poor maintenance will be exacerbated in a changing climate, as temperatures becoming more extreme and rain events increase the likelihood of mould. “In a changing climate we are seeing many vulnerable residents, particularly those who are low income, become ill or die in extreme heat conditions,” Lubik said. She added while landlords must abide by the Residential Tenancy Act to maintain residential property in a state of “decoration and repair” that complies with health, safety and housing standards, many of those standards haven’t been specifically defined. Lubik said local bylaws can go into greater specifics, but they’re not in place everywhere and the vigour of those bylaws varies.

Coquitlam parks staff Brian Morley and Sara Yastremski check out the pump track and the ping pong tables that were installed last month at Glen Park as part of a summer outreach. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS SUMMER IN THE CITY
Bike pump track, table tennis & courts for Glen Park An “under-utilized” park in Coquitlam’s City Centre is now home to a bike pump track, ping pong tables, badminton and beach volleyball courts and picnic tables — at least for the summer. Last month, the municipality’s park staff installed the amenities in Glen Park, located at 1149 Westwood St., to bring more life to the green space that’s surrounded by thousands of residents in high-rises. The aim is to keep the active elements until the fall, said parks coordinator
Brian Morley, noting the bike pump track that permanently moved from Mundy Park increased by two-anda-half times for the Glen spread, at a cost of around $90,000. “We’ve had a lot of positive feedback,” Sara Yastremski, the city’s parks partner program supervisor, told the Tri-City News during a tour last week. “This site has been under-utilized for so long. People in the area are excited.” “It’s amazing what happens to a park when you put
Marguerite parks. To celebrate Glen Park, the parks team is inviting the public to a community party on Thursday, Aug. 18 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. City staff will be on site to promote Tree Spree, a new tree planting initiative and public eduction campaign that aims to see 10,000 trees planted this year to increase the city’s tree canopy; small trees will be handed out for free to Coquitlam residents and business owners. As well, the city’s Park Spark team will be at the
in a picnic table and other things. Kids are out with their parents and grandparents playing in the fresh air,” added Morley. City council OK’d the Glen Park Summer Fun program in March as part of a $250,000 activation of specific parks this summer, adding movable and temporary amenities to make public spaces more welcoming. Besides Glen, the following parks also got a boost: Town Centre, Blue Mountain, Mackin, Burke Mountain Pioneer and
event to showcase its activities; currently, it has more than 600 volunteers, as well as 1,000 helpers in its Light Brigade for Lights at Lafarge, Yastremski said. And there will be opportunities to speak with parks staff and check out the machines used to maintain city parks, Yastremski said. Last year, Coquitlam parks had more than a million visits, averaging 85,000 guests per month, according to a city report. Meanwhile, the city officially opened Sheffield Park
on Burke Mountain — a month later than planned. The multi-level park — located at the corner of Sheffield Avenue and Chandler Street — was well-received during a special opening last Tuesday (July 28), particularly the new spray area as temperatures reached the high 30s and low 40s. The two-acre site also includes several children's play areas; a youth area (with a skate park); a rubberized fitness path; and public washrooms.

DEVELOPMENT
Mosaic towers would be city's first in a decade Project includes 12,000 sq. ft. of commercial space
• A southern parcel development consisting of a 30-storey building with 292 apartment units, four townhouses fronting Woodland Drive, 5,619 sq. ft of commercial retail space fronting Westwood Street and 342 parking spaces (vehicular access to the building is provided from an extension to Anson Avenue) The proposal includes a combined total of 486 strata ownership apartments, 49 non-market rental units and 21 market rental units in the residential towers, as well as four townhomes.

An artist's rendering of two new towers plus commercial space being proposed by Mosaic Properties on Westwood Street. MOSAIC PROPERTIES
within walking distance of Lincoln SkyTrain station, the proposed project is located at 3620, 3640, 3646 and 3650 Westwood St. and 3639 and 3643 Woodland Dr. The property is north of PoCo Place Mall — which is
also under consideration for development. The project consists of two components: • A northern parcel development consisting of a 28-storey building with 264 apartment units, 7,158 sq. ft.
of commercial retail space fronting Westwood Street and 318 parking spaces (vehicular access to the building would be from a rear lane accessed from a new Anson Avenue road extension)
Child care providers would be given first option for space in one of the commercial units, although the lack of space for outdoor play is noted. Mosaic is in the process of speaking to government agencies regarding the non-market rental component. The company also conducted a traffic study of the area — which is a heavily utilized traffic corridor, with a number of improvements recommended, including widening Westwood Street, an extension of Anson Avenue between Westwood Street and Woodland Drive
POCKET PARK
A small pocket park that would be accessible to the public is also part of the plan. However, the site is also heavily treed and approximately 100 trees would have to come down, according to the staff report. The rezoning proposal for the properties is expected to come back to council in the fall.

Port Coquitlam council recently got its first glimpse of the city's first new tower project in over a decade. Mosaic Properties is proposing to construct two towers, plus four townhouses and 12,000 sq. ft. of commercial space on six properties bounded by Westwood Street and Woodland Drive. PoCo's committee of council passed the rezoning recommendation last month to a future council meeting for more consideration. However, a number of stipulations were laid out before the project can proceed to next steps. "Staff recommend bylaw conditions to ensure appropriate design, mix of housing tenure and affordability, providing for childcare needs, and equity in the provision of servicing and transportation improvements to support development in this area," a report states. Located in a transit-oriented development area,
and a multi-use pathway along Westwood Street. Other challenges noted, include the need for a sanitary sewer upgrade to Kingsway Avenue, a capital project that is not funded. The developer is also seeking reduced parking requirements, citing other projects in transit oriented areas that didn't need all the parking provided, while traffic and parking were among the issues raised by residents during community consultation. Some variances would be required for the indoor amenity space; however, both buildings will include a fitness facility, flexible spaces to accommodate gatherings and children’s play, and a co-working space to accommodate activities such as meetings, work from home or homework.

MAKING THE CUT
The Little Butcher is ready to hit the big time This will be the first time a team from Canada competes MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
A Port Moody woman is primed to show Canada’s butchers are a cut above the rest of the world. Taryn Barker, of The Little Butcher in NewPort Village, is part of Butchery Canada, a team of six butchers set to represent the country at the World Butcher Challenge, Sept. 2 and 3 in Sacramento, Calif. The competition — a kind of Olympics for some of the best butchers in the world — was supposed to happen two years ago, but it was put on ice by the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s given Barker and her teammates more time to sharpen their skills and carve their creativity that will be required to transform sides of beef and pork, a whole lamb and five chickens into about 70 different flavourful and visually enticing value-added cuts and products. This is the first time
Taryn Barker will be one of two finishers on Butchery Canada. They're responsible for turning all the cuts of meat into finished products. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Canada is sending a team to the international event, held every two years. On the floor of the Golden One Centre, home to the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA), 16 teams will have three hours and 15 minutes to carve, concoct and present elaborate
drool-worthy displays that include garnishes, pastries, produce and dishes, all of which have to be acquired locally or shipped beforehand. Among other elements, their efforts will be judged on how well they represent the unique characteristics of their country's cuisine.
Barker will be one of two “finishers” on Canada’s team. They're responsible for making the handiwork of the carvers look its absolute best for the judges and spectators in the stands or watching online. She said she’s been able to use the extra prep time to
mine the internet for new ideas, experiment with ingredients and presentation and forge a stronger connection with her teammates, who come from Ontario, Alberta and one other from B.C. The team was only able to meet virtually because of travel restrictions during the early stages of the pandemic, but as those have eased, they’ve been gathering in person every month. They brainstorm products, practice their responsibilities and refine their efficiency as any cut of meat that’s left behind means a deduction of points. Barker said as a newcomer to the competition, Canada will be up against countries where butchery techniques and presentation have evolved decades longer. But what they may lack in experience, they hope to make up with innovation. “Teams that have been together for a long time will have the efficiency, but I don’t know how creative they’ll be,” said Barker, who’s previously competed at individual events in Australia, New Zealand and Brazil. With the weeks counting down to the competition, Barker said Canada’s prac-
tices have been getting more intense. And just like sports teams, each is followed by a thorough debrief to determine better ways members can work together so not a moment is wasted and everyone is able to operate at the top of their game. “It’s down to the crunch,” Barker said, adding the team has even invited observers to its most recent practices to simulate the kind of scrutiny under pressure they’ll be facing in the arena. In the days leading up to the competition, the team will ship a pallet of implements and accoutrements to Sacramento — many of them contributed by sponsors like Carmello Vadacchino of Cook Up. Once they’re on site, they’ll be heading to local shops and farmers markets for the produce and other products that will be integrated into their final displays. Barker said while the nerves and excitement are starting to build, she’s looking forward to waving Canada’s culinary flag and hopefully inspire young people to take up the trade. “There’s cool things you can do as a butcher.”

Farmers bristle at new rules
T
he agriculture industry is usually not in the news a lot, but that may be about to change. Food growers and their industrial associations — along with a couple of provincial governments — are up in arms over the federal government’s demand that emissions from fertilizer use must be reduced by 30 per cent by 2030. It is all part of the Trudeau government’s ambitious plan to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 40 per cent within eight years. Since the plan was first laid out in detail in March, the oil and gas and transportation sectors received the most attention when it came to gauging the plan’s impact.
But now the agriculture industry is realizing the potential implications of the climate plan for its sector and so far, much of the response has been fairly negative. Some farmers say such a reduction can’t be done without a huge decline in the actual use of fertilizer. They say that will lead to lower production of crops and food and higher prices for consumers. Huge amounts of fossil fuels are prevalent throughout agriculture — in the ground, in the many kinds of machines and equipment that are used, in the transport of food products, in the different agrichemicals that are regularly used etc. — but for now fertilizer is getting all the attention. The governments
of Saskatchewan and Ontario — two provinces with huge agriculture sectors — have both cried foul and fired off angry communiques at a recent conference of federal and provincial agriculture ministers. The B.C. government’s position on climate change closely mirrors that of the federal Liberal government, so it is more supportive of setting such targets when it comes to reducing emissions. B.C. Agriculture Minister Lana Popham recently told me it is worth trying to do things differently and she is confident the federal government will hit the pause button and make adjustments if the industry’s dire predictions start to become reality.
Last Week t Should BC Ferries return to being a Crown corporation?
She also points to some companies — such as B.C.-based Lucent Biosciences — that have developed alternative fertilizers that have far lower emissions and farming operations that use changing technologies to reduce emissions as good examples of doing things differently. “The old saying of ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ fits here,” she said. In many ways, the looming fight over fertilizer use mirrors tensions we will see start to develop in other industrial sectors, as reduction targets are made and different types of responses and actions begin to take hold.

Alcohol in parks sends the wrong message The Editor: Stories about parks appear frequently in the Tri-City News, which is not surprising after the COVID19 lockout, given how much fresh air and green have been missing from people’s lives. I recall reading about Port Coquitlam councillors working on a project introducing the approval of alcohol consumption in parks. Finally alcohol consumption is accepted in some parks. Allowing people to relax in a park with a glass of wine was one of the reasons. In the real world that we live in now, this is the world of the unknown future. COVID-19 is still present, cli-
mate change gave us lessons of challenges to our safety, inflation and ongoing war in Ukraine; all create a sense of global anxiety. About one in every 20 deaths worldwide is a result of the alcohol disease. For years alcohol in Canada has been a major cause of death, predominantly among the young population. Alcoholism is not a curable condition, but is treatable. Alcohol is not a “relaxant”; in fact, anxiety and depression are the most frequent symptoms in an alcohol disease. Treatment of this condition is difficult, because of
its not only medical, but also psychological, social and religious aspects. Addicted people in general are subjected to discrimination and stigmatization, which have a negative impact on providing a proper care for the affected individuals. Youth are the most frequent visitors to parks, enjoying sport facilities. Parental use of alcohol as a relaxant to help with anxiety may be a lasting message to their kids to follow this path while having stress and anxiety. Parks should be considered treasures, and the best mediators of our physical and mental health.
Port Coquitlam’s Castle Park is one of several public spaces in the Tri-Cities where alcohol consumption is now permitted. DIANE STRANDBERG/TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
In conclusion, it is important that community leaders carefully consider what the presence of alcohol
in parks means to the public, and particularly to our young generation. Let us have a walk in a

In Coquitlam alone, there have been 28 reports of coyotes roaming the city since Jan. 1, 2022. Seven have been reported since the official start of summer (June 21) — all in the Maillardville area and one in the industrial sector south of Highway 1. In total, 71 coyotes have been spotted across the Tri-Cities since the start of the year, per WildSafeBC, including a region-high 32 in Port Moody.

Coquitlam environment manager Caresse Selk said it’s important to keep the animals in a state of shyness “for the safety of people, pets and coyotes themselves.” She warns it’s illegal to feed coyotes, or any other wildlife, and to call the BC Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS) if they continue to be aggressive toward people and pets, or if they’re causing property damage.

MOMS STOP THE HARM
Shoreline cleanup event has special message Second annual event includes raffle of gift baskets DIANE STRANDBERG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Stopping the harm is the message behind a litter clean-up planned for Aug. 15 in Port Coquitlam. The Reno Kindness Challenge is being organized by Belinda Ruckman, whose son Reno died of tainted drugs in 2019 at the age of 24. Ruckman said she and her son enjoyed the outdoors and the Shoreline Cleanup will be a way to preserve the environment, while also honouring her son’s memory. This is the second annual event and everyone is invited to join in, says Ruckman. To get the message across about the harm of toxic drugs, Ruckman said the event is also raising aware-

ness and money for Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH). Donations will be wel-
come at the event. There will also be an assortment of gift baskets as
part of a raffle to Raise Funds for MSTH. “Our 2022 campaign
and fundraiser recipient is Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH), a network of Canadian families impacted by substance-use related harms and deaths,” states Ruckman. “MSTH advocates for a change in failed drug policies and provides peer support to grieving families and those with loved ones who use or have used substances. Their vision is that people who use drugs are not criminalized and that their rights are respected. This nonprofit group has our support and we are hoping you will also embrace the mission of MSTH.” Last year, $3,280 was raised and donated to MSTH. This year, Ruckman hopes to raise the balance of the $24,000 goal. According to the BC Coroners Service, there were 195 deaths from overdoses in May, the highest number ever recorded in the calendar month and a 20 per cent increase over the number of deaths in April.
In Port Coquitlam, emergency personnel were called out to 58 overdoses in the city in the first six months of the year, and 187 in all of 2021, according to statistics presented to PoCo council recently by fire chief Robert Kipps. The Shoreline Cleanup takes place rain or shine on Aug. 15, 10 a.m. at Lions Park, starting at the covered shelter near the playground an hour later. Snacks and beverages will be provided for participants, including Wise Bites Snacks, Wise Tea Iced Tea, Coffee and ITL Health Magnesium. To sign up for the Reno Kindness Challenge, create an account on the Ocean Wise Shoreline Cleanup web page, then click Port Coquitlam on the map. The Reno Kindness Challenge cleanup will display on the left side of the screen. Then click to join. A GoFundMe page has also been started for MSTH through the Reno Kindness Challenge.

PoMo drug house busted KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com
“We believe this investigation, and the substantial seizure of drugs and cash, will have a significant impact on organized crime in the Lower Mainland.” The initiative began in May — known as Project Tint — as VPD worked with other B.C. police departments to target drug sales and distributions conducted by a “high-level organized crime group.” Since then, police executed search warrants on the Port Moody and New Westminster residences and it was determined the activity they uncovered was linked to ongoing gang violence in the region. Heard says the investigation is ongoing. “A seizure of this size will undoubtedly reduce the amount of fentanyl and other illicit drugs sold on the streets,” he says. The three-month collaboration included the
A Port Moody residence was one of three across Metro Vancouver where a multi-level gang investigation uncovered a large amount of drugs. In fact, it was more than $8 million worth of illegal substances. Led by Vancouver police (VPD), officers arrested two suspects last week after seizing 41 kg of meth, 22 kg of cocaine and more than 10 kg of fentanyl, as well as $172,000 in cash, two vehicles and a kilogram press from all three homes. This includes the one in Port Moody and two others in New Westminster. “This is one of the larger drug seizures we have seen in recent years,” explains VPD organized crime section Insp. Phil Heard in a news release on July 27.
VPD, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC) and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (ERT). The announcement was a week after RCMP discovered a secret drug lab in Coquitlam. Mounties announced it took four days to dismantle a clandestine laboratory on North Bend Street, and experts are determining what potential substances were being produced. In a separate statement, spokesperson Const. Deanna Law explained local firefighters responded to a water leak in a warehouse unit, but the person inside was not cooperating. An “urgent request” for help was called to RCMP, a drug production lab was found shortly after officers arrived and a 43-year-old man was arrested, but later released.

WILDFIRES
YOU’RE INVITED!
Deadline looms for FireSmart assessments Ambassadors help educate residents, provide info KYLE BALZER kbalzer@tricitynews.com
Wildfires are a potential threat to thousands of TriCities residents and their properties along forested borders. The City of Coquitlam is hoping to ensure safety for all in its jurisdiction by offering free home assessments over the next month with locally trained experts. FireSmart reviews are available for booking between until Sept. 1, 2022. The assessment involves a representative visiting your home to analyze where upgrades are needed and provide recommendations on what needs to be fixed immediately. Currently, there are no wildfires in the Tri-Cities’ vicinity. Fire risk ratings are “moderate” in communities across the region, including Coquitlam. After a brief respite from last week’s heat wave, temperatures are forecast to increase to near 30 C again this weekend. There are several wildfires of note in the Coastal Fire Centre — none larger than three hectares — and there’s a ban in effect for Category 2 and 3 open burning, including campfires higher and wider than 0.5 metres. Suggested FireSmart improvements are not mandatory, Coquitlam Fire Rescue deputy chief Scott Young says. However, financial sup-
port will be made available for those aged 65 and older that want to make changes and live along the wildland-urban interface (WUI) — where development meets nature. “FireSmart ambassadors visited neighbourhoods in the WUI areas in the fall of 2021 and provided over 7,000 residents direct-to-door information on wildfire preparedness and information to book fire safety assessments,” said Young in a news release. “Property owners play an important role in reducing the risk to their homes and neighbourhoods by taking steps such as removing potential fuel sources and choosing fire-resistant building materials. The program goal is to help homeowners to adopt practices that reduce the risk of wildfire damage to their homes and property.” In 2021, four communities that make up the Tri-Cities’ northeasten sector received a grant of nearly $500,000 to develop a sub-regional approach to wildfire prevention, including Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Anmore and Belcarra. This included the creation of FireSmart educator jobs that have since run programs focused on outreach and facilitating hazard assessments. WUI homeowners can book an assessment up until Sept. 1. They then have until Sept. 30 to complete upgrades. Oct. 31 is the last day for the home to be evaluated before seniors can receive any grant funding. For more information on FireSmart assessments,

Be Wildlife Smart Coquitlam is at nature’s doorstep with more than 90km of trails and 3,400 acres of parks and green spaces, which are home to bears and other wildlife.
As you explore our parks and trails, help prevent human-wildlife conflict to keep everyone safe.
Safety Tips > Walk, hike and explore in pairs or a group, do not walk alone where possible. > Keep dogs leashed unless in a designated off-leash area or dog park. > Do not wear headphones. > Never feed wildlife and do not leave food unattended while in public spaces. > Use the human voice to alert wildlife of your presence.
> Dispose of garbage in a bear-proof bin; if garbage container is full or none available, take it with you. If you see a bear, coyote or cougar:
> Do not run or turn your back to the animal. > If you see a bear, talk in a low and calm voice while backing away slowly.
> Stop and remain calm - often an animal is just passing through and will move on.
> If you see a cougar or coyote, yell and make loud noises.
> Do not approach - stay at least 100m away.
> Leave your phone alone and stay alert.
> Make yourself look big.
> Keep away from wildlife and remind others to do the same.
> Pick up small children and pets.
> Leave wildlife an escape route.
At Home Help keep our local bears safe by following these tips so they seek natural food sources: > Store garbage, food waste, and recycling in an area inaccessible to wildlife. > Separate your waste and put food scraps in the Green Cart, which is collected weekly. > Freeze smelly food scraps until collection day, and clean carts after collection to minimize odours. > Place Garbage and Green Carts and recycling at the curbside after 5:30 a.m. on collection day.
$500 FINE
> Make sure attractants including pet food, bird feeders and ripe fruit are not accessible to wildlife. > Keep barbeques clean. > Keep garages, doors and lower level windows closed to ensure the areas are inaccessible to wildlife.
Property owners found allowing wildlife to access attractants, even unintentionally, may receive a $500 fine.

Coquitlam post-secondary students will now see bright colours waving proudly as part of efforts to include, celebrate and seek justice for the LGBTQ community. Members of the Douglas College Student Union Pride Collective (DSU) raised the Pride flag last Wednesday (July 27) with many community members on site as part of ongoing series of Pride month events on campus. According to DC spokesperson Zach Siddiqui, the occasion is a chance for the school, its staff and its student body to show support and solidarity, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. “We fly Pride flags every
year in August, when many of B.C.’s Pride festivities take place, to show our support for LGBTQ2S+ people everywhere,” he said in a statement to the Tri-City News. “We’re proud to be a part of creating a space for celebration, allyship and action, now and for years to come.” Pride representatives from the DSU gave speeches of acknowledgement and hope in the A/B Atrium prior to the flag-raising ceremony. The Tri-Cities Pride Society was also on hand for the annual event. Several political figures were in attendance, like Port Moody–Coquitlam MP Bonita Zarrillo, as well as Coquitlam city councillors Steve Kim and Teri Towner.
“It’s always a good time to celebrate the diversity of LGBTQIA2S+ communities, acknowledge their history, hardships endured and the progress that’s been made,” said Towner in a social media post following the flag-raising. “Let’s keep making progress!” The flag itself has evolved over the past few years. The six primary rainbow colours now include a triangle on the left side to honour the transgender community, as well as the IBPOC community (Indigenous, Black and People of Colour). A Pride flag was also hoisted at DC’s New Westminster campus last Thursday (July 28).

CIVIC ELECTION
Milani making a run for Port Moody mayor City councillor was first elected in 2018
last Thursday. Two days earlier incumbent mayor Rob Vagramov told councillors at the end of their final council meeting before their summer recess that he wouldn’t be running again. Milani was first elected to council in 2018. During his term, Milani’s advocated for improvements to the city’s amenities, like
MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Port Moody has its first mayoral candidate for the Oct. 15 civic election. Steve Milani announced his intention to seek the job
repairing Kyle Centre and even the establishment of a columbaria in Pioneer Memorial Park where residents can place urns containing the remains of loved ones. “The city is already way behind in terms of facilities to service its residents,” he said on his website. “With growth comes a need for ex-
panded amenities.” Milani also initiated an effort to quiet construction noise in the city and he’s a big fan of mass timber construction for mid-rise development. In a statement on his website, Milani said he believes in “open, collaborative and respectful governance” that gets “things done, rather
than tying them up in red tape for years.” Milani said the city needs to stay the course to attain its growth targets to attain 50,000 residents by 2041. “Coverting Port Moody into a bustling metropolis of high-priced condo towers is not an option.” Milani’s lived in the city’s Moody Centre neighbour-
hood for 24 years. He’s the first sitting councillor to formally declare his intention to run again. Other residents who’ve announce their candidacy for council include: • Callan Morrison • Haven Lurbiecki • Richard Biedka • Johann Contreras • Kyla Knowles

However, he added practical solutions are out there and he believes he can be “an important voice” at the table. “I am advocating for climate solutions that don’t burden taxpayers,” Perry explained in his platform statement. “What is built today will last for the next 50 years.”
There’s another rookie among the candidates for Coquitlam city council this fall. Benjamin Perry formally announced his intention to join the race last Tuesday (July 26).

A Coquitlam resident and human rights activist of nearly five decades is set to receive B.C.’s highest form of recognition in the fall. Harinder Mahil was unveiled as an Order of British Columbia recipient on Monday (Aug. 1) in honour of his years of dedication and leadership that continues to inspire new generations to this day. Mahil spent most of his adult life working and speaking up for immigrants’ equality and justice since he came to B.C. in 1970 at 19 years old. The 71-year-old man’s advocacy ultimately landed him the role as B.C.’s human rights commissioner in 2002. “We all have the right not to be discriminated against, but also have the responsibility not to discriminate against others,” Mahil explains in his Order of B.C. profile, adding this is his life’s principle he shares with others “regardless of race, colour, gender, creed, religion, sexual orientation, disability or income.” Mahil started as a farm worker across the Lower Mainland upon arriving in Canada. He worked long hours that resulted from labour contractors’ negligence, but he also wanted to raise his voice in ensuring a better life for all immigrants of all ages and backgrounds. Mahil’s organizing efforts and activism to end workers’ exploitation led to major changes in the province’s Employment Standards Act, his Order of B.C. profile reads, which saw the inclusion of farm workers in protections afforded by the act, and also led to the formation of the Canadian Farmworkers’ Union. “Mahil stepped up in the 1980s and was one of the fearless leaders who fought back against the influx of the Ku Klux Klan becoming established in B.C. He was one of the founders of the B.C. Organization to Fight Racism, an organization that challenged hate. The anti-racism group led to the creation of others that continue to this day.” Mahil’s résumé includes a 10-year stint with B.C.’s labour ministry (1982–1992), a decade with B.C. human rights agencies (1992–2002) and a labour relations position with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada before joining the human rights commission. “For the past 50 years, Mahil has been a champion to improve the lives of others and make B.C. a better place,” his profile continues. “As a labour relations and human rights professional, he successfully resolved thousands of workplace disputes between workers and employers, represented union members, worked with labour and business organizations, and led labour task forces.” Mahil was one of 14 selected for the latest round of Order of B.C. inductions out of 194 nominations. The other recipients are as follows: • Dr. Nadine Rena Caron of Prince George • Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir of Kamloops • Nezhat Khosrowshahi of Vancouver • Kathy Kinloch of Surrey • Joy MacPhail, CM, of Vancouver • Fred Ting Shek Mah of Vancouver • Maureen Maloney, QC, of Victoria • Geoff Plant, QC, of Vancouver • Christine Sinclair, OC, of Burnaby • Paul Spong of Alert Bay • Gerald St. Germain, PC, of Langley • Jody Wilson-Raybould, PC, QC, of Quathiaski Cove • Bruce Munro Wright of Vancouver They will receive their medals from Lt.-Gov. Janet Austen.

‘Memory’ for Han with CATS A Coquitlam teen portrays a feline this summer in CATS: Young Actors Edition put on by the Children’s Theatre of Richmond (CTORA). Grace Han, 13, plays the character Jellylorum in the pared down musical that runs until Sunday (Aug. 7) at the PAL Studio Theatre (581 Cardero St., Vancouver). Based on the Old Possum’s
Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot, the show by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber debuted in 1981 and tells the tale of the Jellicle cats that want to ascend after death to the “Heaviside Layer.” It’s also best known for the songs Memory, Old Deuteronomy and The Jellicle Ball. The CTORA version, which is directed by Mark
Carter with musical direction from Jeremy Hoffman, features a cast under 18. “This is the type of show in which everybody can have their moments to shine,” said Carter, who is also the founding artistic director of DSR Productions, in a news release. CTORA founder Lily Yuan and her production partners spent six months holding
auditions and preparing the costumes for the production. And choreographer Ken Overbey said the audience will see the cat actors spilling out from all parts of the theatre venue.

SFU pipers, drummers back at the Worlds JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com
The Grade 1 pipe band at Simon Fraser University (SFU) will soon be on its way to Scotland for the Worlds. The ensemble, headed by Pipe Major Alan Bevan and Lead Drummer J. Reid Maxwell, is made up of several Tri-City residents — including band manager Rob MacNeil of Coquitlam — who will be in the annual contest on Aug. 12 and 13 at Glasgow Green. They will be up against 13 other elite Grade 1 bands at the championships. They are the 78th Fraser Highlanders; Peoples Ford Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia; Closkelt; City of Dunedin (USA); ScottishPower; Inveraray and District; St. Thomas Alumni (USA); Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia; Field Marshal Montgomery; Police Scotland Fife; Johnstone; Police Scotland
SFU’s pipe band practised on Sunday night for the Worlds, a competion that runs Aug. 12 and 13 at Glasgow Green in Scotland. MARIANNE MEADAHL
and Federation; and St. Laurence O’Toole (Eire). Next Friday, SFU plays second in the MSR and the Medley competitions after the 78th Fraser Highlanders. SFU Drum Major Jason Paguio is also vying for a win in the adult drum major final. “Over the past few years, the band has worked to stay connected and kept up
practising over Zoom, and has since returned to competitions (such as winning the recent competition at Enumclaw, Washington, a few weeks ago) and practising through the heat wave,” spokesperson Marianne Meadahl, assistant director fo media relations and public affairs at SFU, told the TriCity News. “Pipe Sergeant Jack Lee
says they are thrilled to be returning to the Worlds after a two-year hiatus and have their sights set toward winning a seventh world cham-
pionship.” The band has won the Grade One World Pipe Band Championships six times: in 1995, 1996, 1999, 2001, 2008 and 2009; it has also placed second nine times. Meanwhile, two Port Coquitlam residents will meet SFU at Glasgow Green. David and Shaunna Hilder are members of the Grade 1 band ScottishPower, which is sponsored by the ScottishPower Foundation. David was formerly the Pipe Major for the Dowco Triumph Street Band, while Shaunna was the Pipe Sergeant.

COQUITLAM ADANACS
When they were champs: a look back at 2001 Team had only four wins halfway through the season MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
A blockbuster trade, a late-season surge, a playoff upset, a dramatic comeback and a global catastrophe: the Coquitlam Adanacs’ 2001 run to its only Mann Cup didn’t lack for drama. As the team prepares to embark on its first post-season since 2013, the Tri-City News looks back on that national senior lacrosse championship squad that seemed anything but halfway through the regular season. The Adanacs were struggling. Three years off a Mann Cup loss to the Brampton Excelsiors in 1998, the team had only four wins in 10 games. Then general manager Les Wingrove pulled off a monster trade that brought in Glenn Clark, Kevin Brunch and future Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Famer Andy Ogilvie. Pat Coyle: “[The trade]

made us a lot harder to play against. [Ogilvie] made everyone on our team two inches taller with his toughness, but also he’s an incredibly skilled player.” Andy Ogilvie: “I was 36 years old, a veteran with a lot
of playoff experience. I knew a lot of the players from playing against them in the WLA as well as the NLL. I recognized they had a solid core group of high-level players.” Glenn Clark: “The expectations for me were pretty
simple; I needed to come in and play to my ability, provide some leadership and contribute to the group.” The additions had an instantaneous and desired effect on the Adanacs’ fortunes. The team won eight of
its next 10 games to qualify for the WLA playoffs where they dispatched the New Westminster Salmonbellies in four straight. Glenn Clark: “I think it was just a case of the roster taking shape and the team starting to play a little better.” But the Adanacs’ next opponent for the league championship, the Victoria Shamrocks, hadn’t lost a game all season. Andy Ogilvie: “We were prepared for a long and hard series. Playing in Victoria is never an easy task either; their fans are very supportive, to put it mildly.” Pat Coyle: “We knew we had to play disciplined against them because they didn’t retaliate. Our plan in the past was to intimidate them, take it to them physically. But we needed to do that in a controlled way.” The plan worked. The Adanacs upset the Shamrocks, winning the series in six games to earn the right to play for the Mann Cup — one of the oldest and most valuable trophies in sports. Pat Coyle: “When playing Victoria, it all came together. That series gave us belief.” As the host league, the

WLA made the decision to play the best-of-seven series at the Pacific Coliseum, where’s there’s more seating capacity than the 2,000 or so fans who could squeeze into the old Coquitlam Recreation Centre and it’s easier to get the attention of the Vancouver media. Pat Coyle: “That took away a big advantage of ours by not playing in our home arena and packing it.” Andy Ogilvie: “I was unhappy about it. The last thing you want to do if you are hosting a playoff series is move away from your home arena. It takes away that familiarity and comfort of home floor advantage.” The Adanacs’ opponent would be the Excelsiors, their nemesis from previous Mann Cup appearances in 1993 and 1998; Coquitlam lost both times. Pat Coyle: “Brampton were deep and talented. We knew whatever team comes from Ontario was going to be tough.” Andy Ogilvie: “We knew they would be loaded with talent, and they were.” One of Brampton’s most talented players was SEE

a former Adanac, Josh Sanderson. He’d scored a whopping 93 points in 23 regular season games for the Excelsiors and he relished the opportunity to play against his old team. “I like cheering for the Coquitlam guys when I’m back east,” Sanderson told the Tri-City News. “But I’m definitely not doing that out here right now.” So the sting was especially sharp when Sanderson scored Brampton’s first two goals in the final and led the Excelsiors to a 9-6 win. The visitors’ victory seemed especially unlikely because they had to use backup goaltender Brandon Miller after starter Bob Watson was injured during the pre-game warmup when he stepped on a ball. The Adanacs retreated to their dressing room where the players locked the door and held a “stormy” meeting. In the second game, Coquitlam stormed again, this time to a 5-1 lead. But then its offence shut down. Brampton scored eight unanswered goals to take the series lead, 2-0. Pat Coyle: “They played like a more experienced, confident team and it really showed. We acted like we hadn’t been there before.” Adanacs’ coach Bob Johnston said the players weren’t working together. Pat Coyle: “We were waiting for the results to make us feel confident and good about ourselves. But that’s a slippery slope if you’re not getting the results.” Those results started to come in Game Three. Curt Malawsky found his scoring touch after getting just two goals in the first two game. John Wilson scored three times and added an assist after he’d been benched for Game Two. Coquitlam won 13-5 then tied the series with a 12-8 victory in Game Four. Brampton recovered to win Game Five, 17-9. Game Six was scheduled the next night, Sept. 11. But early that morning, the world changed.
York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a field in Pennsylvania. The last thing anyone could think about was lacrosse and the game was postponed. Andy Ogilvie: “I turned on the TV and thought I was watching a Bruce Willis movie I hadn’t seen before. Then I switched the channel to see a different version of the same scenario.”
Tension was thick. Every player was willing to sacrifice for the win.
Andy Ogilvie Coquitlam Adanacs
Pat Coyle: “Nobody really knew what was going on at that point. It sort of threw a wrench into the flow of the series for sure, but it allowed us to get a bit healthier, more rested.” Following Game Four, Clark had flown back home to Ontario where his wife was scheduled to have their first child by C-section on Sept. 9. His return flight to Vancouver was booked for the morning of Sept. 11. It was just taking off when all planes in North America were grounded. Glenn Clark: “It was such a chaotic time in the world. Everyone was processing what had happened in New York. I was on the phone 24/7 trying to get a fight back to Vancouver.” Game Six was played Sept 12. Coquitlam won 15-10, setting up a decisive seventh game the next night. After 37 years, the Adanacs were on the cusp of its first national championship. Andy Ogilvie: “The mood was focused. Tension was thick. Every player was willing to sacrifice for the win.” At 4 p.m. that afternoon, Clark finally landed at
raced to reach the Coliseum in time for the 7 p.m. start. The game’s first 40 minutes didn’t go well for the Adanacs. Heading into the third period they trailed their Ontario rivals, 8-4. But after the break, Coquitlam began chipping away. With 74 seconds left in the third period, the deficit was down to one goal, 9-8. Pat Coyle: “Momentum can be so powerful. We scored a couple of goals and it felt like that was what we needed. You could feel it coming.” The Adanacs called a time-out so Johnston could plot his team’s strategy and give his players a chance to reenergize. Andy Ogilvie: “At that moment of the game, the adrenaline and focus were both maxed out. There was nothing else happening in the world except that moment.” Seconds later Dan Stroup tied the game with a low sizzler from the right face-off circle. Then, with just over half a minute left in the third period, Colin Doyle found a lane, took a flip pass from Kim Squire and deposited the game winner over Watson’s right shoulder. Glenn Clark: “To win Game Seven like that is really special and memorable. It was really a feeling of relief.” Pat Coyle: “Euphoric is the best way I could describe it. Unreal. There’s a part that was all a blur because of how emotional everything was, how exciting it all was.” More than two decades later, the feelings still resonate with the players who were there, and the Adanacs’ name is forever engraved into a shield on the Mann Cup trophy. Pat Coyle: “That’s honestly one of the proudest moments of my lacrosse career. There’s a part that was all a blur because of how emotional everything was, how exciting it all was.” Andy Ogilvie: “Pushing yourself far beyond anything you have ever done before, it’s an experience like no other.” Glenn Clark: “The team was very motivated to get over the hump of the WLA final and deliver a

Q
A
I want to start saving for my child’s education. Where should I start?
In BC, statute and common law regulate termination of employee-employer relationships. If you are an employee who was terminated without just cause, then your employer must provide you with:
Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP) are a great way to save for your child’s future, especially when combined with the Canada Education Savings Grant which pays 20% on the first $2,500 contributed each year until the child is 17. That’s up to $500 for post-secondary education each year you contribute to a maximum of $7,200, regardless of household income. There is also the Canada Learning Bond that can benefit lower income families. Provincial grants like the BC Training and Education Savings Grant offers up to $1,200 for children ages 6-9. The great part about this grant is you don’t have to make a contribution to receive it, you just have to qualify. However, not all RESP providers offer it, so feel free to reach out to us if you want some help opening a qualifying account for your child.
1. Proper notice of your termination, also known as reasonable notice; or
604-521-3778 www.braunfinancial.com #325 - 555 6th Street, New Westminster
2. Monetary compensation, commonly referred to as severance pay. The Employment Standards Act sets out how to calculate minimum proper notice and severance pay. Under this statute, employees are entitled to, at most, 8 weeks’ notice of termination, 8 weeks of wages as severance pay or a combination of both. This is a statutory remedy only, and the minimum compensation you may receive. However, you may be entitled to additional compensation under the common law. If you have been wrongfully dismissed and believe you are entitled to additional compensation, seek legal advice from a lawyer. Our experienced lawyers can assist you with employment law matters.
