Grieving mom waits for justice Fitzgerald receives 15-month sentence By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

More than five years after her son was killed in a hit-and-run, Jocelyn Staines still holds out hope that someone will come forward with information that brings the driver of the vehicle that hit him to justice. On Tuesday afternoon, she received some measure of redress when Allyne Fitzgerald, the woman convicted of cleaning and repairing the silver Mazda Tribute that struck ROBERT STAINES and killed Robert Staines, received a 15-month sentence for obstructing justice. see THE FILE,, page g 8

Opposition stops tower Rogers withdraws controversial proposal, city promises new process for cell towers By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Rogers Communications has withdrawn a controversial proposal that would have located a cell tower antenna in Port Coquitlam’s Greenmount Park after months of opposition from area residents. The gallery at PoCo city hall erupted in applause after Mayor Greg Moore read a statement from Rogers during a council meeting Tuesday night. The company said after lengthy consultations with city officials and the community, it would be looking at other options for the placement of a cell tower. “We certainly did not expect this,” Peter Endisch, one of the opponents of the cell tower, said in an email. “We were hoping for this but we did not expect this.” During a public input session earlier this month, 22 people spoke out against the proposal. Many residents said they feared the tower would ruin the tree line view and could jeopardize the health of nearby residents.

Sara Holland, the senior manager of regional communications with Rogers, told The Tri-City Newss opposition from the neighbourhood sunk the proposal. “We are still committed to improving service,” she said, “we just didn’t have the support to move forward with this location.” But Holland did not rule out the possibility of Rogers submitting a new proposal for a cell tower located in a different part of PoCo. She said Rogers and city staff will continue to work to see what land is available for a future site. see CELL TOWER TOWER,, page 6

“It is unbelievable. It just goes to show you that anybody that is willing to try and help out can do it.

Bringing sunshine to powerless town Tri-City group is hoping solar panel on a school roof will help small community in Uganda By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Ugandan town that is unplugged is about to turn the power back on thanks to some Coquitlam volunteers. Megin Alvarez and Malcolm Trevena, organizers with a Tri-City group called Meaningful Volunteer, have raised more than $2,000 to pay for a solar panel that will be used in the construction of a school in the rural town of Buyaya and will bring enough juice to power eight laptop computers. “It is unbelievable,” Alvarez said. “It just goes to show you that anybody that is willing to try and help out can do it. People just come on board with something that is positive.”

While cables do connect the town to Uganda’s power grid, electricity is scarce and expensive. One thing the equatorial country does not lack, however, is sun. Alvarez believes that once the school is built, it will become a hub for the entire community. Laptop computers will be connected to the internet, linking a town that lacks

paved roads and a proper sewer system with the rest of the world. Buyaya’s electricity problem first came to the attention of Alvarez and Trevena when they launched their Mama Pamba program, an initiative that helped Ugandan women receive training and material to manufacture fair-trade clothing items. There was just one problem: only pedaloperated sewing machines could be acquired because the town had no means to power electrical devices. That is when the lightbulb turned on for Alvarez and Meaningful Volunteer began the process of acquiring the solar panels. Earlier this week, Trevena left with the panel in hand and Alvarez said she will be joining him in Uganda next month. Once the town is connected, it will dramatically improve the education of the community’s people, Alvarez said. A lack of literate adults is a major problem in Buyaya and Meaningful Volunteer is launching sev-

eral computer training programs and other classes. Each night, the panel will be brought down from the roof of the school and kept indoors in order to deter thieves. But a battery system could still be used to power electrical devices long after the sun has gone down, Alvarez said. If the solar panel initiative is a success, she believes it could spread to other communities in Africa and beyond. There is already a town in Nepal that has approached the Meaningful Volunteer organization about bringing a panel there. “We are taking notes on what works and what doesn’t work,” she said. “We have made lots of mistakes but we are learning from them and we are going to share what we have.” • For more information about the program and Meaningful Volunteer, go to www.meaningfulvolunteer.org. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

PoMo council okays love locks rail By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Moody’s in the mood for love. Port Moody city council voted unanimously Tuesday to install a railing in the city where lovers could gather to fasten “love locks” — padlocks marked with their names — as a memento to their undying bond. It’s a practice that h a s b e e n p o p u l a rized in lovers’ locales the world over, from

Helsinki to Rome, Tibet to Thailand. But it will be a first for the Lower Mainland, and perhaps the province, according to official accounts. Although Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini and councillors Gerry Nuttall, Mike Clay and Diana Dilworth gave the official thumbs-up to installing the romantic railing, there’s still some dispute over where to put it. The original proposal called for the railing to be installed at the Rocky Point pier, a location Coun. Dilworth

favoured as “the most romantic place in Port Moody.” But this spot was met with some resistance from other councillors and the public at the meeting out of fears that installing an additional railing on the pier would clutter it up. Councillors Bob Elliott, Meghan Lahti and Karen Rockwell were absent from Tuesday’s meeting. City council will now consult with staff and a potential installer to find a suitable location and cost for the love lock railing. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Cops’ request for parking ban on Bedwell defeated Tie vote defeats proposal that would remove 240 parking spots By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody city council denied a request Tuesday from the city’s police to stop beach-goers from parking along the popular stretch of Bedwell Bay Road near Sasamat Lake. According to documents presented at T u e s d ay ’ s c o u n c i l meeting, Port Moody Police Department complained last summer about people parking on Bedwell Bay Road, citing concerns about pedestrian safety. Parked cars reduce visibility, force pedestrians to walk on the road, cause frequent U-turns as visitors search for parking spaces and erode the ditches beside the road, according to the city’s account of the PMPD’s concerns. City engineering staff looked into the complaints and suggested removing a total of 1.6 km of parking — the equivalent of 240 parking spaces — along both sides of Bedwell Bay Road directly to the south and west of the popular Sasamat Lake swimming area effective next month. But with councillors

Mike Clay and Diana Dilworth voting against the PMPD’s request and Mayor Joe Trasolini and Coun. Gerry Nuttall in favour — and with three councillors absent — it was defeated in a tie vote. Clay and Dilworth say visitors to the area simply have nowhere else to go. Parking is already restricted along some areas of Bedwell Bay Road. “I’m not under the impression it’s a safety issue in its entirety,” Clay said. “I think there are safety issues there but just looking at the extent of the elimination of parking here is a killer. I’ve been parking there for, that I can re-

member, for 37 years.” Dilworth agreed, saying that moving parking further away from the lake would only put more pedestrians on the roads. The PMPD did not respond to The TriCity News’’ request for accident statistics on Bedwell Bay Road. There is designated parking at Sasamat’s White Pine Beach but it’s vastly inadequate for the area’s needs during the busy summer months. Unfortunately, that’s a problem that’s beyond the reach of Port Moody council as parking at White Pine falls under the jurisdiction of Metro Vancouver as part of the Belcarra

Monday, May 30, 2011

Park facilities. “I have a problem with this coming to us from the police without any consultation with Metro Vancouver,” Dilworth said before joining her colleagues in voting down the parking ban and directing city staff to begin consultations with Metro Vancouver about expanding the parking area for Sasamat Lake and White Pine Beach on the existing Metro Vancouver park lands. Two TransLink buses, the C26 and 150, make regular hourly stops at White Pine Beach and Bedwell Bay Road from Coquitlam and Port Moody. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Cell tower proposal likely wouldn’t have passed, says PoCo mayor continued from front page

“I guess we have to regroup with the city and see what is available,” she said. “It’s about balancing the needs for the least impact on the community, so I think that is the next step.” Throughout the pro-

cess, both the company and the city have said the antenna complies with Industry Canada and Health Canada regulations limiting electromagnetic energy in the frequency range of 3 kHz to 300 gHz. D u r i n g T u e s d ay ’s meeting, council voted to

adopt a formal policy that would guide the city and the industry when future cell tower proposals come forward. Moore told The Tri-City News that public consultations would begin in order to develop the policy, which he said would clearly outline where cell towers could

and could not be located. Even if the application had not been withdrawn, Moore said he believes it is unlikely council would have supported Rogers’ proposal. “I don’t think it would have [passed],” he said, adding that he would have voted against it.

“That is probably why they pulled it.” He also said that he was surprised at some of the accusations levelled at council during the application process and a recent public hearing. Several opponents of the tower said the city was being undemocratic in its

handling of the antenna proposal and not listening to the will of the residents. “I took real exception to that,” Moore said. “There are no guidelines for municipalities on how to deal with this. Right from day one, we put information on our website

on how people could contribute to the process.” If the cell tower had been built, PoCo would make $25,000 per year and $3,000 for each additional sublease, money that would be used for improving the nearby cemetery and other parks. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

PoCo pesticide ban a vote away Province should set regs: Moore By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Use of cosmetic lawn and garden pesticides on private property is on the way to being banned in Port Coquitlam after city council approved the first three readings of a new bylaw Tuesday night. If fourth reading is approved, stiff penalties of up to $10,000 could be levied in extreme cases against those who use lawn chemicals deemed bad for the environment and unsafe for human health. A typical ticket would be in the range of $100 to $300 and would only be doled out after a verbal and written warning. But while the penalties are steep, Mayor Greg Moore said he believes education will be

the key to successfully removing garden chemicals from the city’s environment. “We always want to show leadership,” he said. “It is more about raising awareness of these chemicals and telling people there are other ways to do it.” Despite PoCo’s planned ban, Moore still believes the provincial government should pass legislation prohibiting garden chemicals. With different municipalities taking up the cause, a patchwork of pesticide regulations now exists in the Lower Mainland, allowing the chemicals in some jurisdictions while banning them in others. A province-wide ban, Moore said, would make the rules easier to enforce. He added that Port Coquitlam has had a draft bylaw ready to go but every time council

has come close to bringing it forward, the city would hear rumblings that the province was considering legislation of its own. “So in the meantime, we need to show that this stuff should not be used in our community,” he said. “It has been a long time coming.” Municipalities across the country have adopted similar bylaws and the Canadian Cancer Society said that between 7 and 11% of cancer deaths are related to environmental carcinogens. Port Coquitlam was one of the first municipalities in the country to stop using cosmetic pesticides on city lands and promotes natural lawn care techniques on its website. Port Moody already has a ban in place while Coquitlam is considering one. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

‘The file is still open’: mom continued from front page

Crown prosecutors allege the vehicle was driven by Fitzgerald’s son, James High, at the time of the incident, but with most of the physical evidence destroyed in the cleanup, they were unable to proceed with charges. But Staines still believes there are witnesses who could help police with their investigation. “I hope and pray there is somebody out there who knows something who will come forward to the Coquitlam RCMP and let them know what they know,” she said. “The file is still open. They need more people to speak up.” The 21-year-old Robert Staines was walking along Brunette Avenue in Coquitlam late on Feb. 26, 2006 when he was struck by a vehicle and carried more than seven blocks. Crown prosecutors argued at trial that after Staines’ body fell off the vehicle, High, the alleged driver, drove the car to his mother’s house in New Westminster. Staines described her son, who was 21 at the time of his death,

“I think it would have been so much easier had we had remorse right from the beginning,” she said. “Come down and deal with the situation and finish the job right then and there, because then this wouldn’t have been dragged out for five years. That is a long time and this is very tiring.” Staines added that she hopes there is no appeal but said she would be ready to go through another trial again if she had to. As part of her sentence, Fitzgerald must remain at her home unless she is going to work, a medical appointment or grocery shopping. She also must complete 120 hours of community service and pay a $100 victims surcharge fee. The prosecution had been calling for 18 months in jail while the defence said a suspended sentence was more appropriate. In handing down the sentence, Mr. Justice James Williams acknowledged that Fitzgerald had no prior convictions and was unlikely to re-offend. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Carbon costs

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

Q WHAT WE THINK:

e’re paying through the nose for gas and soon we’ll be paying more when the carbon tax jumps a penny on July 1 (and another next year). The idea is to make driving less palatable and encourage people to switch modes of transportation. The problem is that there aren’t a lot of alternatives. Rapid transit to the Tri-Cities is on hold for lack of money and the idea of giving TransLink some of the $1.26 billion in carbon taxes is just that — an idea. Premier Christy Clark has stated she’s ready to consider using the carbon tax to support regional transit initiatives instead of just corporate or personal tax cuts but there’s no word how and, most importantly, when this could be done. Meanwhile, the long-awaited Evergreen Line is on hold and other TransLink priorities affecting the TriCities are in limbo, including the United Boulevard Extension and the Murray-Clarke Connector. It’s enough to make you want to take a ride on TransLink’s other proposed project — the gondola to SFU — just to get some fresh air.

A little sun in summer can go a long way THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES Naomi Yorke

he summer will soon be upon us and it will be time to put away those chunky sheepskin boots and move on to sandals and shorts and sunscreen. The world has become more refreshing — nothing feels better than the six o’clock breeze in the cool spring sun — and for those of us who have chosen to live in less than desirable climates, these first few days of sunshine are like a blissful gift from the heavens. As a child, it is hard to comprehend that the world keeps going during the summer months. The sun always meant Slip and Slides and Popsicles and late-night Disney movies. But as time goes on, you begin to realize that stores are still open, traffic lights still run and the world keeps turning. The summer — that being not the season

but the period between winter and fall semesters — for your typical college student is a time to regroup, refresh and earn some cash. Sure, when looking out an office window at the blistering sunshine that you can’t quite feel, we long for those 12-year-old days when summer was for pure fun and indulgence, and when we didn’t know of the existence of student loans. But regardless of the pressures of adulthood and finances, summer is still my favourite time of the year. All that sun makes for energetic days and good, restful nights of sleep. I have noticed as Chicago has slowly and erratically shifted from winter to summer (there is no real spring here), the fluctuation in the moods of those around me is in accordance with the changes in weather. One day, it’s sunny and smiles abound — high-fives on street corners and gleeful children skipping in the park with a happy mothers in tow. The next day, the winds are blowing and the sky is grey, it looks like night-time all day and a man bumps into me on my way into the train without so much as a glance. It begins to feel like

“One day, it’s sunny and smiles abound — high-fives on street corners and gleeful children skipping in the park.” you’re riding an emotional rollercoaster that is at the mercy of the gods of weather. What a contrast is the world of rainy streets with reluctant people dashing to work or a world of white snowflakes and gigantic snowbanks with bundled up people hurrying out of the cold. Now, I see happier people taking time to talk to one another and sitting outdoors drinking lattes and coffees in the bright sunshine. My uncle swears he is season affected. He begins to long for sunshine and imagine its blessed rays early in the winter. He schemes his time so that he can get away somewhere

where there is light and his beloved sun. I have noticed that people like him never can get enough of the sun and they do not say that it is too hot because they thrive in the heat while others languish and wilt. He saves the sunshine inside of him and when he returns to our colder climate, he is revived until the next spring. My grandmother watches the sun on her garden every day and first thing in the morning, she checks how much her flowers have grown. She marvels at the season of flowers as the tulips wane and the huge red poppies light up her backyard. Soon, I will be back to the busy world of Hong Kong, to the warmth and bright sunlight, and to a whirlwind summer of work and play. And as long as there is sunshine, I know things will be just fine.

outweighed by the corporation’s distasteful and unbecoming promotion of everything from cheap scratch-and-win tickets to highstakes “gaming” at casinos. I have a suggestion: Let’s severely limit all commercial promotion of lotteries and casinos, and let the chips fall where they may (pun intended). As for my colleague, his big beef is that state-sanctioned gambling is tantamount to “a tax on the poor.” It’s a common complaint and is based on the fact that many low-income people choose to play games of chance. I’ve got two problems with this line of griping: First, it’s the blatant misuse of the word “tax.” As my colleague should know, a tax is actually a compulsory contribution to government. Clearly, however, gambling is an entirely voluntary activity. No one is forcing “the poor” to do anything. My second concern with my colleague’s argument is that it suggests poor people aren’t actually capable of making up their minds for themselves and, therefore, need to be protected from making wrong or bad decisions. There’s a word to describe this sort of attitude: condescending.

nence, bet the house.” My objection to this BC Liberal policy on gambling, however, is moral, not scriptural. I don’t care if gambling is a sin against God or anyone else. I enjoy a good poker game and a trip to Las Vegas as much as the next recreational sinner. It is a real sin, however, to be so serially dishonest with the people of B.C. The dishonesty and proliferation of gambling will continue. Like myriad fee increases, expanding gambling is a great way to increase revenues. Gambling is too lucrative to give up, especially for a rightwing government that preaches the evils of all tax increases. The billion dollars-plus skimmed from gambling annually effectively increases taxes on those who Liberals think should pay the freight: the poor, the problem gamblers and the odd dumb rich guy (as long as we don’t increase taxes on him or his company). Gambling revenue makes raising taxes on the rich unnecessary. This keeps business happy, and we all know that this should be the main goal of any government. Gambling — what a great way to raise taxes on the poor. And it dovetails so well with Premier Christy Clark’s “family first” focus.

he recent kerfuffle about the new casino attached to BC Place stadium is irrelevant. If we can’t get enough slot machines or tables there, we’ll put them somewhere else, likely somewhere suggested by some BC Liberal insider. The massive expansion of gambling in B.C., facilitated by this Liberal provincial government, will continue. It has to — the government needs the dough. In his 2001 campaign, former premier Gordon Campbell sanctimoniously avowed: “A BC Liberal government will stop the expansion of gambling that has increased gambling addictions and put new strains on families.” After his election, his first order of business was to cut programs for problem gamblers. Next came cutting the traditional grants given B.C. charities. At the same time, from 2001 until 2010, Campbell’s Liberals allowed a three-fold increase in gambling revenues in B.C., from $414 million in 2001 to $1.34 billion in 2009. This falls a bit short of Campbell’s promised exorcism of B.C.’s gambling demon. He preached like Elmer Gantry when in opposition but, in government, Liberal policy on gambling has been aptly described as “preach absti-

Losers always outnumber winners by a wide margin — that’s the nature of the gambling beast. But since no one is forcing any of the players to try their hand at the slots or poker, I don’t see much wrong with the way the casinos do business. But I do have a larger concern. My colleague and I are lifting the lid on casino gambling this week in the wake of Vancouver’s recent rejection of a mega-casino attached to the re-roofed and re-imagined BC Place. My left-wing pal and I aren’t much bothered about the decision one way or the other but some bigger issues about gambling do get under our skin. For me, it’s the fact the province has come to position itself as gambling’s biggest cheerleader. Oh, sure, the folks at the government’s Lottery Corp. always warn us to “Know your limit, play within it.” But the admonition is far

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Scare tactics The Editor, Re: Anti-pesticide push coming to Coquitlam, The TriCity News, May 18, 2011 A recent article in The Tri-City News contained significant misinformation about the safety and regulation process for pesticides that should be addressed. When it comes to health and safety, readers should know that before any pesticide can be sold in Canada it must undergo a comprehensive scientific review and risk assessment by Health Canada. In addition to a wideranging set of over 200 tests covering health and environmental effects, Health Canada also reviews all additional scientifically credible studies that exist. As part of their safety assessment, Health Canada specifically takes into consideration all demographics of the population, especially children, before approving a product for use. Through this process pesticides receive a greater breadth of scrutiny than any other regulated product and only those products that meet Health Canada’s strict health and safety stan-

dards are registered for sale and use. With such a thorough process in place, there’s no question that these products can be safely used. Which is why the allegations made by the Canadian Cancer Society are untruthful and contrary to what the expert scientists at Health Canada have repeatedly stated — that these products are not a health or environmental concern. The reality is that pesticides used on lawns and gardens are designed as tools to address specific pest problems infesting valuable landscapes. They are not cosmetic at all. The fact of the matter is the debate about pesticide use continues to be clouded with misinformation and scare tactics time and time again and it’s time that readers and residents are given the facts about the rigorous, science-based regulation process for pesticides in Canada to ensure these products are safe for use. Pesticides can be safely used and Canadians should feel comfortable if they choose to use them. Lorne Hepworth President, CropLife Canada

A waste of money The Editor, There have been many comments on the proposed “Welcome to Coquitlam” signs. I hope council gets the message. We are supporting all levels of government with our tax dollars; the money is running out. I would like to see Coquitlam explore the concept of a savings account for the times a surplus finds its way to them. Let’s make sure the signs have brackets attached so when we run out of money during the next winter snowfall they can be bolted to the front of city trucks for use as snowplows.

CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

James Anderson at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park. in Germany. He has also been held captive at a Tanzanian chicken farm, sailed in Rwanda, travelled to Zanzibar to deliver a message and found himself near the front lines of civil war in Uganda. It was in the latter situation that the fourth-year kinesiology student encountered what he believes could be his career destiny: the United Nations. “I really like teaching but I’m not like a nine-tofive, sit-in-a-classroom kind of guy,” he said. “But I think I’d eventually like to work in health promotion for the UN.” Anderson credits sailing at Rocky Point with fostering an independent streak in him that he said transformed him from a shy Port Moody kid to an experience-hungry world traveller. “It’s enabled me all these opportunities to travel all over the world and it all started with the Rocky Point Sailing Association,” he said. “Sailing’s definitely a problem-solving sport. Maybe you’ll be on the boat and all of a sudden the wind will pick up a lot and you need to know what to do to adjust your sails because often there’s no one else there to help you.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Boats eyesores, in the way Abandoned boats are a growing problem in Port Moody, with the city’s natural harbour now littered with as many as 15 to 20 derelict vessels, according to the Port Moody Power and Sail Squadron (PMPSS). That’s a hazard not only for boaters trying to navigate around drifting or half-submerged vessels but for the environment as well. When a boat is abandoned in open water or in the tidal zone, it inevitably ends up on its side, upside down or taking on water from its hull, said Neil Wildman, a PMPSS bridge member. When that happens, oil, gas and lubricants leak into the inlet, along with garbage and items left in the boat. “We get a lot of junk from those boats that comes ashore,” Wildman said. “It seems to be a really common problem in the Port Moody area.” The source of the problem seems to be boaters who, for whatever reason, stop paying moorage fees or maintenance and, not knowing how else to dispose of their craft, either beach them or drop anchor and leave them. “The boats get left there, then people see that it’s been there a while and start stealing things from it,” Wildman said. By then, the vessels are worthless and are usually either scuttled by their owners, creating invisible navigation hazards in the harbour, or left sitting at anchor indefinitely. Unlike a broken-down car or truck that can usually be sold for parts or scrap metal, there is little value in a boat once its engine and instruments have been flooded with corrosive sea water. “Fiberglass is worth nothing,” Wildman said. “It costs you to break it down, then you would have to dispose of it. There’s no market for this stuff, so nobody does anything with it.” The squadron is calling on local and federal governments to impose a maximum length of time that boaters can anchor in the inlet before they have to move, similar to what’s already in place in Vancouver’s False Creek. Transport Canada’s receiver of wrecks, Bob Gowe, said the federal agency will only deal with abandoned vessels if they are obstructing the movement of other boats; otherwise, they are the responsibility of the local port authority or the municipality if they’ve washed ashore. The Metro Vancouver Port Authority’s COO, Chris Badger, said abandoned boats are a worsening problem both in Vancouver harbour and along the B.C. coast. Removal is expensive, he said, and boat owners expect taxpayers to foot the bill. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

James Anderson has always been a bit of a wanderer. So when the 22-year-old Rocky Point Sailing Association instructor wanted to find a temporary job to beef up his resume, he took a spray-and-pray approach with his applications. He invented his own job posting and then sent 60 resumes around the world to sailing clubs in Abu Dhabi, Bristol, Guyana, Saint Martin, Barbados and beyond. One fifth of the 60 targeted clubs responded. Of those 12, half said, “No thanks.” And so Anderson came to choose from the other six Jamaica, where he’s now conducting a learn-tosail program for kids at the Montego Bay Yacht Club. “I didn’t want to get paid. I just said, ‘I’ll come down, as long as you provide me room and board,’” the Rocky Point sailing instructor and University of BC student said. “They have no youth sailing program, so I’ll model their program down in Jamaica off of Rocky Point because we start off with a program called Wet Feet that’s geared towards children that are four, five and six years old.” Anderson’s aim is twofold: Promote sailing among Jamaica’s youth, thereby strengthening the competitive edge of its adult programs; then applying the coaching skills he learns in Jamaica to strengthening the sailing program at Rocky Point. Teaching and travelling, Anderson said, are two of his three “life passions” — the third is learning — and all three have taken him to some rather remote locations and odd situations he said have prepared him for his Jamaica trip. There were the times he spent coaching elite marathoners in Kenya and teaching English

Donnelly renamed NDP fisheries critic New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly was named yesterday as the NDP critic for fisheries and oceans — a post he has held since he was elected in 2009. Official Opposition Leader Jack Layton had 103 NDP MPs to choose from for his shadow cabinet to counter Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s 39-member cabinet, which includes James Moore, Conservative MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam. Last week, Moore was officially sworn in as heritage and official languages minister. Speaking Thursday from Ottawa, Donnelly said he was pleased to keep his portfolio and he checked off a

Art studio to artisan bakery — it’s a treat Bakers’ market opens tomorrow at Evergreen By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

If you have a sweet tooth, take note: Gooey cookies, succulent pies and vegan cupcakes — straight out of the oven — will be served at the first Tri-Cities’ Bakers’ Community Market, which starts tomorrow (Saturday). by Organized Coquitlam resident Kimberley Allan Mulla, the market will run for five Saturdays this spring and summer in the art studio at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre and will include treats for sample and sale from 14 vendors. Mulla is no stranger to the bakers’ market circuit, having taken part in a number of them since she started Kimberley’s Kitchen last year after the birth of her second daughter. Her company — “Basically a mixer in a small kitchen in my condo,” she said — specializes in classic and seasonal gourmet marshmallows and other confections.

JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kimberley Allan Mulla of Kimberley’s Kitchen is organizing the first Tri-Cities’ Bakers’ Community Market, which starts Saturday at Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. A primary caregiver to a one- and three-yearold, Mulla said the vendors are friends and acquaintances she met at other bakers’ markets who are “just like me.

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE For our flyer effective May 20 – 26/11. Page 7: QueenSize Air Bed with Pump (#902540) should be Full-Size Air Bed with Pump. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

They do it in their spare time, after their children have gone to bed. Some of them are pro-

fessionals as well. I’m really proud of them because they sell such great stuff.”

Among those offering their delights include iBakery, Something Sweet For You, Em’s

Gems, Harmony Cakes and Hearth & Larder. Focusing solely on baked goods — as opposed to tying them to a farmers’ market that sells fruit, vegetables, etc. — “I think is a lot of fun and appeals to many people,” Mulla said. “I wanted something in my hometown that had handmade and homemade baked goods, and I wanted to see people enjoying them.” In addition, the market will give customers a chance to talk directly to bakers about how they make their fare and what goes into them. Many bakers are aware of food sensitivities these days and special diets. (Mulla’s own mother developed a nut allergy in her 60s that’s so severe she needs to carry around two epipens and anti-histamines.) The market will also be a place of education, with demonstrations happening throughout the event. On Saturday, Mulla will whip up a pizza dough in 15 minutes to show her audience how easy baking can be. Best of all, the demos

will be geared to kids. “I want to tell parents that it’s okay to bring them into the kitchen to learn. It can be fun and safe and it doesn’t have to be messy. My toddler helps me all the time. She’s lear ning how to read and count and about food and nutrition.” As well, her daughter is knowledgeable about artisan ing redients, local and gluten-free produce, and fair trade organics. Passing down the trade to the next generation comes naturally to Mulla as her mother bakes, her father makes candy-maker and her grandmother worked at Purdy’s Chocolates. “I think that as long as you have treats in moderation,” she said, “everything is good.”

On track to save energy

Tri-City News Friday, May 27, 2011, A19

Summer Vacation? Get your vehicle ready now!

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The city of Coquitlam is on track to meet its target to offset greenhouse gases in civic buildings by 30%, energy manager Trevor Billy said. In 2007, the city was one of dozens of B.C. municipalities that signed the provincial government’s Climate Action Charter, pledging to cut consumption of electricity, natural gas and gasoline by a third by 2015 over 2005 levels. “We expect to meet the goal. We’ve got a plan and we are committed to doing it,” Billy told The Tri-City News. Since 2008, the city has completed 37 projects that have reduced emissions by 898 tonnes, equal to 225 cars being taken off the road. Billy said this was achieved through a new heat-recovery system at the City Centre Aquatic Complex, lighting retrofits and better controls of power-sucking machines. The next 900 tonnes or so will come by using systems more efficiently in civic buildings. These include turning off computers and lights at the end of the day or when a room is empty, and minimizing the use of personal handheld devices. “It’s creating a daily mindset that energy conservation is here every day,” he said. “It’s not just a one-time thing — we have to build it into our daily activities.” Billy, a mechanical engineer, said Coquitlam is also one of five municipalities piloting the BC Hydro Workplace Conservation Awareness Plan (the other cities are Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Richmond and Vancouver). Still, despite Coquitlam’s recent energy-efficiency gains, Billy said his job is challenged when new city buildings go up or are expanded, such as the renovated Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex and the main fire hall, which has a new administrative wing. “For cities that are already built out, they have their infrastructure there,” he said, “whereas we have whole new neighbourhoods coming.... which means we’re going to have to be more proactive.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Bike week stops near you By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

T he T ri-Cities are gearing up for the annual Bike to Work Week, which means that starting Tuesday, “celebration stations” offering free bike tune-ups and refreshments will be cropping up around Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. The cycling week began 17 years ago in Victoria and has grown to include more B.C. communities each year. This year, a total of 23 areas across the province are participating. “People will have different reasons why they do it,” said Bike to Work B.C. director Penny Noble. “For some, it’s the health benefits; for others, they find commuting to work on a bike easier and more convenient. Others do it for the environment. But our primary motive is to encourage people to commute to work on a bike.” Celebration stations in the Tri-Cities will be at the following locations on

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

People cycle for different reasons, says the director of Bike to Work Week, which runs next week in 23 B.C. communities, including the Tri-Cities. the following days: • T u e s d a y, P o r t Coquitlam: From 6:30 to 9 a.m. at the northeast corner of Coast Meridian Ro a d a n d L o u g h e e d Highway, there will be free refreshments and free bike repairs and service. • Wednesday, Coquitlam: From 4 to 6 p.m. at the corner of Foster Avenue

and Poirier Street, there will be free refreshments and bike repairs and service. • Thursday, Port Moody: From 6 to 8:30 a.m. at the corner of Ioco Road and Murray Street, there will be free refreshments and free bike repairs and service. • Thursday, Coquitlam:

From 6:30 to 9 a.m. near the Evergreen Cultural Centre, northeast corner of Pinetree Way and Guildford Way, there will be free refreshments and bike repairs and service as well as information about the Central Valley Greenway Extension Project. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

New election sign rules in PoCo Candidates looking to plaster their signs around Port Coquitlam when civic election season commences this fall will have to be careful they are not contravening the city’s updated election bylaw. Signs will only be permitted on public property at 12 locations in an effort to curb the proliferation of election signs that staff said has become an issue in recent campaigns. In past elections, city staff and bylaw officers have had to deal with complaints about sign placement. Susan Rauh, the city’s corporate officer, said she hopes the bylaw will help keep the signs contained to a few specific areas. Among the approved locations are: • Granny Smith Park boulevard (northeast corner of Shaughnessy Street and Wilson Avenue); • Shaughnessy Street south of Nacht Avenue (east-side boulevard); • Kingsway Avenue between Kelly and Wilson avenues (east-side boulevard);

• boulevards in front of 2061, 1855 and 1925 Kingsway Ave.; • Shaughnessy Street just south of Citadel Drive (past the parking lot area); • boulevard area between Mary Hill Bypass and Argue Street (west of Pitt River Road); • boulevard area between Lougheed and the Oxford Connector (in front of the parking lot for the stores); • Coast Meridian Road just north of Prairie Avenue on west boulevard; • Shaughnessy Street just south of Manning Avenue, north of Lougheed; • Westwood Street south of Kitchener Avenue; • City property at the southwest corner of Kingsway and Maple Street. Mail-in ballots will also now be offered in Port Coquitlam to civic voters who are out of town or physically unable to get to a polling station due to health problems. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

King Edward Street Overpass Night Road Closures May 27 and 28 from 9:00 p.m. - 5:00 a.m.

Two tagged A 22-year-old Surrey resident is facing charges of mischief and assaulting a police officer after he was allegedly caught spray-painting graffiti on a train at the CP Rail yard in Port Coquitlam. The suspect was arrested shortly after 9:30 p.m. on Friday, May 13, after police spotted a man with a spray can in hand. After a short chase, he was apprehended. He was later released by a judge on a promise to appear. Charged is Graham White. Earlier in the evening A Mountie and a CP Rail Police officer arrested a 13-year-old for spray-painting a BC Hydro utility box. The youth, who cannot be identified, is facing one count of mischief. “Preventing graffiti and reducing the impact it has on neighbourhoods goes beyond arresting taggers,” said Const. Matt Berinbaum. He said stopping vandalism needs to be a community effort. Police in Coquitlam and PoCo, he added, have seen some success in preventing graffiti by painting murals or applying graffiti-resistant decorative films on surfaces that have been targeted by taggers. • For information about how to combat graffiti go to www.coquitlam.rcmp.ca.

PoCo’s west side story YOUR HISTORY Bryan Ness

istory can get a little fuzzy when dealing with the northwest section of Port Coquitlam, which shares a common border with Coquitlam. It looks as if a precocious pre-schooler carved the boundary between the two municipalities with a dull crayon, the line running south along Oxford Street, west on Lincoln Avenue, across the Coquitlam River and south on Westwood Street to basically follow the river south to the Fraser. You may, therefore, find our story jumps back and forth a bit between the two cities. This area has been surrounded with much new development over the last 30 years or so but is still an idyllic neighbourhood blessed with rivers, creeks — and history. Nick and Doris Stevenson had just spent the afternoon at the Mission Fair and were returning by Pacific Stage bus to Burnaby in 1944 when they happened to stop in Port Coquitlam to dine at Pop Ticehurst’s Good Eats Cafe on Dewdney Trunk Road. Enchanted by the area, they purchased property along Hastings Street, starting out with a simple shack that they used in the summers until they built a house in 1949. In those days, their only neighbours were the Beattie family and as many as five creeks flowed through their land. Seeing a family of deer through the bush near Patricia Avenue

on her daily walks was a treat for Doris. The area was not yet developed and the salmon would migrate up the creeks right by their house. Audrey Ricalton remembers walking south along a trail by the Huntingdon Rubber Mill to get to the post office when it was located in the Cement Block on Dewdney Trunk Road. Helping out with the mail was Amy Castonguay and Chris Marshall. Other families on the north side included the Jorgensens, Chilcotts and Dacres. There was a small golf course, run by Harold Reid, where Fox Park is now and golfers from all over the Lower Mainland came to play. Lazy River Court, located on the Coquitlam River, was one of a number of trailer parks located throughout the northern Tri-City area in the 1950s and later.

Rail and roads continued from page 22

Pipeline Road, aptly named, originally was a wagon trail route to the Coquitlam Dam. It became part of the Dewdney Trunk Road that veered eastward out of Port Moody, turned north by Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market in later years and crossed the CP Rail tracks at what we now call Westwood. B and K Feeds, owned by Bernie Harding, had a store on Pipeline Road with a rail spur behind where the CPR would bring a boxcar occasionally. Bernie also ran a small riding club in the late 1940s, with a stable in back. Further south was Wildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store, run by Lou Wild, on the Coquitlam side of Westwood, which was the route Lougheed Highway followed until the diversion was built to the west of Scott Creek in the mid 1970s. For many years, a rail spur ran north from the CPR mainline and serviced the Deeks McBride Gravel operation at Lafarge Lake and logging operations further up the heavily-timbered hills. Remnants of this spurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right-of-way can still be found behind the old Brass Rail Pub and Coquitlam Chrysler next door. Looking around the new Coquitlam Town Centre and surrounding developments in 2011, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine a steam locomotive with a load of logs thundering down from the hills through the wilderness. The faint echoes of steam whistles and bells have long-since disappeared from the hills â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or have they? Sometimes, your imagination can play tricks on you. After all, things can get a little fuzzy out here on the west side. Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Citiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three heritage groups writes about local history. Bryan Ness is a member of the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society.

Show, shine and give Centennial event will benefit students in name of longtime teacher

sapperton day 2011

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Mustangs, Barracudas and more will herd onto the grounds of Centennial secondary school next Friday. But this gathering isn’t the animal kind; rather, it’s an automobile event to raise money for a scholarship fund for automotive students. Jacquie Hutchins, who is helping organize the June 3 Centennial Show and Shine, is hoping more than 30 car enthusiasts will rev their engines in support of a scholarship in honour of retiring automotive teacher Geoff McElgunn. “We thought this would be a great legacy to acknowledge his 35-year-teaching career,” said Hutchins, whose son, Andy, an automotive ACE-IT student and first-year apprentice, is graduating this year.

Mustangs and more on June 3 continued from page 26

Car enthusiasts from all over the region have been invited, including the local Mustang car club, and the event is expected to serve as a reunion of sorts for Centennial graduates who were taught by McElgunn during his lengthy career. Besides her son, Hutchins has other connections to Centennialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automotive program. Her brother-in-law, Cam Hutchins, an automotive writer and photographer, husband, Jeff, and brother Will Walls, were all McElgunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students in the 1970s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geoff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a real mentor,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a teacher here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he takes a personal interest,â&#x20AC;? said 18-year-old Andy Hutchins, who has been working on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s propane-powered 1973 Plymouth Barracuda and hopes to race it at Mission Raceway. McElgunn is thrilled about the scholarship, which is a first for automotive students and will help with their tuition fees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got kids who are really deserving,â&#x20AC;? said McElgunn McElgunn is leaving with some mixed feelings and is proud of the program, which has produced hundreds of skilled technicians and winners of the BCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skills Competition, including two students who placed first and third in the province in the competitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written test this year.

He plans to travel and take it easy during his retirement but promises to return for future show and shines at the school. Hutchins said she hopes it will be an annual event and will at-

tract a wide array of community members, vendors, participants and sponsors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the people in the community to come out and feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of their school.â&#x20AC;? Students are welcome

to enter their jalopies and classic, muscle and race cars are all welcome. In addition to the car show, there will be a by-donation barbecue, vendors, t-shirt sales, music, prizes and a chance to vote on the

MAY 26/2011

Solid month of home sales on MLS. Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports good April. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports that Greater Vancouver saw a solid month of residential home sales on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in April. The REBGV says that residential property sales of detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver reached 3, 225 in April. This is an increase of 8.8 per cent over April 2009, but a decrease of 8.2 per cent from April 2010. “While it continues to be a seller’s market in Greater Vancouver, last month’s activity brought greater balance between supply and demand in the overall marketplace,” REBGV president Rosario Setticasi says. “The year-over-year decline in April sales can be attributed to a less-active condominium market on our MLS, as there were more

detached and townhome sales this April compared to last year.” The total number of residential property listings on the MLS increased 8.2 per cent in April compared to March. The MLSLink Housing Price Index for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver increased five per cent to $622,991 in April, from $593,419 in the same month last year. In detached properties, sales on the MLS increased 2.3 per cent from April 2010, and 17.8 per cent from April 2009. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 7.4 per cent from April 2010, to $879,039. Attached property sales in April totalled 622, a one per cent increase from April 2010. The average price of an attached unit increased 2.4 per cent to $514,670.

‘Heart of southeast Vancouver’

River District builds on former mill lands by Kerry Vital

ParkLane Homes’ 130-acre River District is a labour of love for the developer, but it will certainly be making its mark in Vancouver. In partnership with Polygon Homes, ParkLane is building what they hope will become an important waterfront community. “This will become the heart of southeast Vancouver,” says ParkLane Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei. “There has been an outstanding and positive response so far.” Taddei expects development at River District to continue for the next 15 to 20 years. By the end there will be about 7,000 residences integrated into the community, with a mix of townhomes, low- and mid-rise apartments and high-rise towers. “This is a true neighbourhood, and a fantastic place to live,” Taddei says. River District was originally the site of the Canadian White Pine Mill, and was known as the East Fraserlands. The development plan won an award for Best Neighbourhood and Masterplan Design in 2007 from the Canadian Institute of Planners, and has also been recognized by the Canadian Urban Institute, Smart Growth BC and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects. “We’ve been working for about eight years on this project,” Taddei says. “We’ve had some of the richest minds in the industry working (on it).” Polygon is building the first phase of the residential area, starting with an apartment building called New Water. It will feature one-, two- and

This is a true neighbourhood, and a fantastic place to live,” says ParkLane Homes’ Chief Operating Ofﬁcer Ben Taddei. three-bedroom units that go on sale this weekend. There are also plans to build a townhome complex across the street, which is expected to begin sales at the end of this year or early 2012. ParkLane is acting as the community developer, Taddei says. They are responsible for working on the public areas and the amenities, but expect to do some residential building in the future.

Some of those amenities and public areas will be truly spectacular. The heart of the community is the River District Centre, a 6,000 squarefoot building that will house a 50seat restaurant, Romer’s Burger Bar, and provide information about the surrounding area. The village centre will also include several places to shop, including a grocery store and pharmacy. River District will include 25 acres of park space, and a one-kilometre

waterfront path. There will be an elementary and a high school, four daycares, two after-school care facilities and a community centre. River District will also include 1,300 units of social housing, Taddei says. For more information about River District, visit www.riverdistrict.ca. For more information about New Water, check out www.polyhomes.com/ newwater.

He’ll trade you: How ’bout Coqu quit itlam Current nt karaoke help for lumber? Your City Column

Anmore artist is looking to trade up — way up By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Artist J. Peachy is embarking on his most ambitious project to date: Trading his talents for a three-bedroom home. It’s a tall order but Peachy already owns the land in Anmore’s Countryside Village and proudly holds the blueprints for the quarter-million-dollar, threelevel home he plans to share with his parents and brother. All he needs are parts and labour. Much like for mer Port Moody resident Kyle MacDonald of One Red Paperclip fame, who bartered his way up from a paperclip to a house in Saskatchewan and with whom Peachy has been consulting, Peachy is confident he can trade his way to his eco-friendly dream home within one year. “The bartering is really an art project in itself,” Peachy told The Tri-City Newss last week. He plans to use as much reclaimed, recycled or donated building materials as possible, winding up with what he hopes will be a sustainable, eco-friendly piece of inhabitable art, complete with a personal studio and public gallery. So far, the Anmore artist and environmentalist has traded a painting and some film-editing know-how for a twoperson kayak, which he is now in the process of trading with his landlady for her kitchen fixtures, fridge, stove and dishwasher to furnish his new home. He also traded one of his paintings for a sailboat, sight-unseen, that is still docked somewhere in Mission. But Peachy’s first big trading goal is to get himself a pickup truck and a storage shed so he can begin collecting materials at the building site. It’s a process that is being documented by fellow Port Moody artist and director of the Life Network’s Weird Homes series, Eva Wunderman. She told The Tri-City News she plans to film Peachy and two other Canadians attempting similar feats of moneyfree upward mobility (one is trying to trade up from a camera to an electric sports car, she said). “I was interested in the concept because it has to do with sustainability and not

J. Peachy has plans and land, and he’s looking to barter for materials to build his dream home. throwing things away,” Wunderman said, “especially in [Peachy’s] case because he’s building a house while reducing the amount of waste that goes to a landfill and reusing things he can trade.” Wu n d e r m a n s a i d she has seen bartering

explode in popularity recently, especially in Europe, with the rise of eco-consciousness and the downturn in the economy. That environmental angle has also caught the attention of SwapSity, a Toronto based e-business de-

signed to connect barterers across the country. Peachy’s barter home is the featured project on SwapSity’s website, calling it “The Great Barter Build” and advertising Peachy’s transferrable services in things like media and marketing solutions, carpooling between the Tri-Cities and Vancouver, a private face-painting party, original art, a ride to a campsite and even something called “karaoke sidekick.” “If you want to go to karaoke but your friends don’t want to, I’ll be your harmonic and lyrical support,” Peachy explained. “We even have the speakers and stuff like that so if someone wants to do YouTube karaoke at their house in private, I’ll come out and sing and encourage them.” Wunderman said she is not only confident that Peachy will be able to achieve his goal of bartering and borrowing his way to a house but, she said, with any luck, the whole adventure could be on TV by the fall of 2012. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Help Rid the City of Giant Hogweed We need your help to stop the spread of giant hogweed within the City of Coquitlam. The City has made the eradication of this invasive species a priority due to a serious threat to human health and to the natural ecosystem. Taking steps now means our community can stop this invasive plant from spreading. City staff are monitoring public lands for any signs of giant hogweed and we need your help to eliminate it in Coquitlam. Growing quickly to heights of up to 15 feet, giant hogweed can be identified by its white umbrella-shaped flowers and the stiff white hairs that cover most of the plant. The sap contained in the hairs covering the plant and in the stem can cause severe burns when in contact with human skin. If you plan to remove these plants yourself please review the information available through Worksafe BC regarding proper personal protective gear (worksafebc.com). If you do not want to remove the plants yourself, a qualified and experienced landscape professional can assist you. Giant hogweed produces a tremendous amount of seeds that can remain viable in the soil for 6 years or more. If you’ve recently removed giant hogweed from your property, residual seeds may remain. Please be vigilant and check for new plants each year. Your efforts will go a long way towards eliminating this noxious weed in Coquitlam. Visit www.coquitlam.ca to report on-line a giant hogweed sighting in Coquitlam or call 604-927-6226. Giant hogweed is not permitted within the City of Coquitlam as per the City of Coquitlam Noxious Weed Bylaw no. 4181,2010.

Home ShowcR REVIEW EVIEW

You can create magical but small outdoor spaces IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

maller spaces, both for living and gardening, are today’s reality. Unfortunately, many folks simply give up gardening and resign themselves to a small bit of grass or ground cover and the odd tree or shrub as their green space — and that’s a shame. Small spaces outdoors should be considered no differently than small spaces indoors. Today, in America more remodelling dollars are being spent on the ‘outdoor room’ than any other room in the home. The nesting trend has moved outside and it now includes family and friends. It is the place folks want to be. Many design elements can be used to create magical outdoor spaces. From water and screen plants to architectural statues and vines, there are so many opportunities to create quite remarkable outdoor living areas. One element, however, that is too often overlooked is the vertical effect. If we can’t go out, we can most certainly go up. When I think of vertical plants, I think of the southern Italian countryside with its tall, narrow Italian cypress - they create magic by themselves. A vertical element, used appropriately in small areas, creates a unique dynamic. It provides a visual lift – optically, it expands a smaller area in a new direction. The more narrow the feature, the greater the effect. There are some amazing plants that pull off this vertical effect very nicely and are not used nearly enough in our small or even larger landscapes. One of my favourites is the tall, narrow Japanese flowering cherry, Prunus serrulata

‘Amanogawa’ (zone 5). It has soft pink, semidouble, slightly perfumed flowers and grows from five to seven meters tall and only one to two meters wide. I love the way it flowers from bottom to top for the most delightful effect. It’s quite a clean tree, free of most pests and has beautiful fall colours. It also looks magnificent in winter with great erect vertical branches. There is now a more compact form on dwarf Giesela rootstock, making it even suitable for containers. Another favourite is the narrow form of the quaking aspen, Populus tremuloides ‘Erecta’ (zone 1). Its tiny round leaves with slender compressed petioles cause the leaves to tremble with even the slightest air movement. The look and sound of this tree makes it invaluable. Its fall colour is brilliant yellow. In winter it provides attractive long grey catkins and its grey-white bark looks great. This narrow Swedish aspen grows seven to ten meters tall and two meters wide and performs best in very well drained soil. The narrow growing forms of beech have really found their place in smaller modern landscapes. Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyckii’ (zone 6) and F.s. ‘Red Obelisk’ (zone 6) are two of my favourites. Growing anywhere from five to nine meters tall, these trees have intricately woven branches that wrap about the main stem for a beautiful winter look. The tiny green leaves on ‘Dawyckii’ turn a stunning hot lime-yellow in late spring and summer to become quite a sensation. ‘Red Obelisk’ has traditional purple beech foliage that provides beautiful contrasts to the many greens out there. The hornbeam, Carpinus fastigata, (zone 6) grows into a narrow pyramid shape, reaching anywhere from six to ten meters tall. Its ribbed leaves are a dark green, creating a very appeal-

ing look. It has attractive upright branches in winter and with a little side pruning, can be kept quite narrow. For a bit of red-burgundy colour in the landscape, the more narrow growing sport of ‘Crimson King’, Acer platanoides ‘Crimson Sentry’ (zone 4) is a great plant. Its branching creates an upright shape and its leaves are very closely spaced for quite a dense appearance. It’s

ideal for small planting areas and excellent for screening. I’m a big fan of the eastern red maple, Acer rubrum, for wow red fall colouring and Acer rubrum ‘Bowhall’ (zone 3) is one of the more superior narrow growing maples. It has tight branching, is a very clean tree and when October hits, its leaves turn a fabulous brilliant red that lasts well into fall.

Jr. A’s jump to 8-0

NEWS FILE PHOTO

Wesley Berg of the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs is seen here winding up for a shot during last summer’s Minto Cup national championship. Berg currently sits second in B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league scoring and is a big reason his squad currently sits 8-0 atop the standings.

Lacrosse rivalry roars on Jr. A’s, Saints forever foes By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

t occurred June 2, 2010. Ken Wood believes if there was one blemish in the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs’ near-perfect season last year, it came that very day. That’s when the community-rival Port Coquitlam Saints –– who would go on to finish the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league season a sorry 3-16-2 –– clawed the crackerjack Jr. A’s to a 7-7 deadlock on Coquitlam’s own Poirier Street home floor. Forget that the Jr. A’s fell 9-8 the previous night to the reputable Jr. Salmonbellies in New West, which would be their lone defeat in a splendid 19-1-1 campaign. Coquitlam’s general manager Wood remained adamant heading into this week’s doubleheader with PoCo that perhaps the one squad in the eight-team loop his Jr. A’s should forever be wary of is the Saints. The dreaded Saints. The 7-0 Jr. A’s collided with the 0-5 Saints on Wednesday in the first game of back-to-back battles, with round two involving the Tri-City teams going tonight (Friday) at PoCo Rec Centre, 8 p.m. The Saints haven’t finished ahead

of the Jr. A’s in the standings since 2006, when PoCo posted a third-place mark of 14-7-0 compared with fifthplace Coquitlam at 11-10, and it doesn’t look like that’s about to change this season. That means s q u at t o Wo o d , whose Jr. A’s are gunning for their fourth straight regular-season crown while the Saints are coming off two straight seventh-place showings and are merely aiming for a playoff berth in the stretch run. “I certainly think [the rivalry] still exists,” Wood told The Tri-City News before Wednesday’s contest. “I told the coaches and players that prior to that game last year, when we had our full line-up, but they battled hard and tied us on our home floor. “In lacrosse, lots of pride comes in and it all depends on who comes to play.” Saints GM Reg Thompson said last year’s draw with Coquitlam was one of his team’s few highlights on a season that culminated with PoCo shipping out several key veterans at the trade deadline. “All we wanted to do all year was

rain on their parade,” said Thompson, insisting that the tie with Coquitlam should have actually been a PoCo victory. “We actually beat them but the ref didn’t see the ball go in the net [on one shot] at a key point in the game. Everyone else did. We really should have won.” While the talent-ridden Jr. A’s continue to steamroll opponents, the Saints have had to rely largely thus far on goalie Carson Michaud, who’s considered by many the best stopper in the league. Case in point was Michaud’s splendid 50-save showing in PoCo’s 9-8 overtime loss last Friday to the Delta Islanders. With hotshots Jimmy Delaney and Richard Lachlan set to return soon to the Saints’ line-up, Thompson sees no reason why his squad can’t become a formidable crew by season’s end. Delaney is currently toiling for England at the world box championships in Prague, Czech Republic and is due back next week, while Lachlan is expected to finish up school abroad and soon follow suit. “We still have a really young team

IN QUOTES

“All we wanted to do all year was rain on their parade.” Saints GM Reg Thompson and it may take some time to reach our full potential,” Thompson said. Meanwhile, the Jr. A’s are choked full of snipers, led by the league’s top three scorers in Travis Cornwall, Wesley Berg and Brandon Bertoia –– all members of last year’s Minto Cup champs. Jr. A’s head coach Curt Malawsky said there are still some key players due to return to the lineup before the much-anticipated New West game June 8 but said the Saints always give his guys a tough go. “It’s been like that for years and years, ever since I played minor,” Malawsky, a 41-year-old Coquitlam product, said of the Saints/Jr. A’s epic conflict. “PoCo has a good, young team and good goaltending [this season] and they always give us a good battle. Hats off to them.” Wood was hardly chalking up four points just yet. “I’m not going into this thing lightly,” Wood said. “The old adage is you still have to play the game, so we’ll see after Friday.”

Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs outscored the Port Coquitlam Saints 4-1 in the third period on way to a convincing 11-5 victory over their Tri-City rivals in a B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league game We d n e s d a y a t Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The victory boosted the Jr. A’s to 8-0 atop the eight-team loop, while the struggling Saints dropped to 0-6. The game was the first of backto-back meetings between the two squads, with pair meeting again tonight (Friday) at PoCo Rec Centre, 8 p.m. We s l e y B e r g and Ryan Johnson connected for three goals apiece to rally the Jr. A’s, who got two more from Tyler Garrison. Coquitlam singles went to Matthew Dinsdale, Vincent Ricci and Travis Cornwall, who added seven assists for an eightpoint outing. PoCo marksmen were Cory Cop, Andrew Bromley, Spencer Arnold, Danton Nicholson and Jordan Schulstad.

SR. A’S FALL Coquitlam Adanacs let a 7-4 third-period lead slip away and fell 10-9 to the Langley Thunder in a Western Lacrosse Association affair Wednesday at Langley Events Centre. T he T hunder out-scored the A’s 6-2 in the third period and scored the game’s final four goals, including one by Coquitlam product Athan Iannucci, who finished with three tallies and three assists. Daryl Veltman and Cory Conway bagged three goals apiece in a losing cause.

Fleetwood Park’s Eric Rossi nabbed tourney MVP honours and also won Top Scorer, while his teammate Jordan Marling collected the Best Goalie award. Stelly’s Alex Derksen was named Best Forward, with Mission’s Sam Buttar ear ning Best Defenceman honours.

Fishing via rail part of history TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Lakes good, rivers too high To close my recent series on Vancouver sport fishing personalities, I have chosen not to single out another person. Instead, I have elected to remember a past fixture of Vancouver –– The Interurban Railway. Some might question what our original transit system has to do with sport fishing but the fact is the Interurban was a major player in the history of our Lower Mainland sport fishery. In the time before RVs and Coleman coolers, the average Lower Mainland caster relied on the B.C. Electric

Railway’s Interurban line to get around. Following the lead of other rail systems with good fishing along their right of ways, the Interurban ran a fisherman’s tram from Vancouver to Chilliwack and back each Sunday. Photos of the tram that ran this route are rare and the accounts of those who rode it are scarce. But there are enough in our local museums to spark the imagination as to what it was like when rivers like the Nicomekl were the stuff of fishermen’s lore.

THE REPORT Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes looks good, as are our bass and panfish fisheries. Our Lower Mainland rivers are high and dangerous for fishing at present and we must take safety measures.
