Night not right time to water in region But Tri-City bylaws aren’t ready By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tri-City residents who don’t want to run afoul of new regional sprinkling restrictions should water their lawns only in the wee morning hours. By doing so, they’ll comply with Metro Vancouver’s new Water Shortage Response Plan — even though local city regulations have yet to be updated. Metro Vancouver approved a new policy to outlaw evening and night-time lawn sprinkling but most cities — including Coquitlam, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam — have yet to amend their bylaws to keep up with the new dictum. The result is a patchwork of rules and information across the Tri-Cities. The new Metro regs dictate summer sprinkling is only allowed between 4 and 9 a.m., with even-numbered addresses allowed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and odd-numbered on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. The cities haven’t yet caught up, though. Coquitlam is advising residents to stick with old regional rules while PoCo’s website has the old rules but is advising residents to adhere to the new morning-only rules, as is Port Moody. “We’ve advised residents that while recent city publications, such as the annual calendar, carry the old sprinkling regulations, new regulations are in effect from June 1 of this year,” said PoMo’s communications advisor, Leslyn Johnson. see CITIES C S PLAYING, G, page g 6
Canucks’ Cup run good for business By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Signs are everywhere — literally — of support for the Vancouver Canucks in their run to win the Stanley Cup. Top, Corner Sports in downtown Port Coquitlam sports a do-it-yourself sign. Left, nearby Rami’s Cut Barber Shop welcomes customers with a Canucks banner. And above, cars throughout the region are festooned with Vancouver colours.

Tri-City Canucks fans are not the only people excited about the team’s historic run to the Stanley Cup finals this spring. Local businesses are thrilled to experience major increases in sales as hockey enthusiasts flock to pubs and bars at a time of year when sunny weather usually keeps customers away. see CUP CASH, page 3

Cup cash will help biz bottom lines continued from front page
For Cheryl Semenuik, managing partner of the Golden Spike Pub in Port Moody, the extra business will go a long way toward improving her bar’s bottom line. “It has been fantastic,” she said. “Typically, about an hour to an hour and a half before the game, we are full, standing room only. It is a good, happy crowd.” When Semenuik does her budgeting at the beginning of the year, she generally accounts for about two playoff rounds in her numbers. With the two extra rounds this season, she said she will now have extra money at her disposal for business upgrades, such as putting in a new floor or buying new tables and chairs. “We will put the money back into fixing the place up,” she said. “It will help with improvements to the business.” Over at Samz Pub and Liquor Store in Port Coquitlam, business has also been brisk. Ali Sunderji said that usually at this time of year, when the sun is out and backyard barbecue season is starting, it can be difficult to get people in the door. The extended playoff run has helped his sales, particularly with the liquor store side of his business. “Everyone is coming out because they want to be a part of a good atmosphere,” he said. “It is bringing people into the pub at a time when they may not normally be in here.” With between 45 and 50% of his sales coming from the food menu, the fact the games are starting at 5 p.m. — dinner time for most people — has helped business, he added. And pubs and restaurants are not the only businesses to see increased profits thanks to the Canucks’ Stanley Cup run. Team merchandise has been flying off the shelves at sporting retail outlets as well and Jason van Bergen, owner of PoCo’s Corner Sports, said he has had trouble keeping ’Nucks products in stock. “It is literally off the charts in terms of de-
mand,” he said. “I am getting dozens of calls weekly, if not daily.” Ryan Kesler and Alexandre Burrows jerseys have been a particularly hot commodity and his suppliers will not be able to restock his shelves until July at the earliest. T-shirts and other Canucks apparel can still be brought in but get snapped up as soon as they are put on the rack, he added. But the real increase in business may not come for a couple more months. Van Bergen said he expects skates and equipment sales will see significant increases come September, when people young and old, inspired by the Stanley Cup playoffs, decide to take up hockey. “I have been observing trends in the hockey community for a few years and there was a big spike after the Olympics, not only with kids but adults taking up hockey for the first time,” he said. “I would anticipate that again, especially going into September.” The only downside to the Canucks playoff run, according to Van Bergen, is the fact that after the puck drops on game day, customers disappear. “But that is a small price to pay,” he said. Mike Hind, executive director of the TriCities Chamber of Commerce, said he has noticed that while in the past many local residents would travel downtown for the playoff festivities, more people are staying closer to home. Public events have been held all over the Tri-Cities and there are many fun activities people can participate in locally, he added. “That, I think, is a direct result of the 2010 Olympics,” he said. “That has had a huge effect on our psyche and is one of the legacies — people congregating in public areas to watch big sporting events.” He said chamber members from the restaurant and sports apparel industries have all been reporting major increases in sales, something Hind expects to continue as long as the series does. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Trucks on the move? Trucking museum formerly in PoCo may park in Merritt By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Norm Lynch of the Teamsters’ Freight Transportation Museum, which used to be located in a warehouse in Port Coquitlam, said it may find a permanent home in Merritt, “the hub of all highways.”

Deadline for Registration June 9
The Teamsters’ Freight Transportation Museum, long a fixture in Port Coquitlam, may have found a new home in B.C.’s Interior, according its curator. Norm Lynch said talks are currently taking place between museum volunteers and the city of Merritt, which is interested in hosting the facility’s two-dozen vehicles. “They have a place, apparently,” Lynch said. “It really depends on them. We have some more meetings and it might take a while.” The collection of vehicles, mostly freight hauling trucks dated from between 1914 and the 1950s, have been displayed at a warehouse on Kingsway Avenue since the 1990s.
But after a rent increase last year, Lynch said he had to move the trucks into storage. Things were complicated further when the Teamsters told Lynch earlier this year the organization would no longer be funding the museum anymore. If Merritt does take the trucks, Lynch hopes to get a commitment that the city would display the vehicles for at least five years. “Merritt is kind of a hub of all highways,” Lynch said. “It would be open to the public to come and view. But until it is all finalized, we don’t know.” The collection of vehicles was assembled by Bob King, who was active in the Lower Mainland freight hauling business between 1930 and the 1950s. He bought up vehicles and stored them in a warehouse in Chilliwack. The Teamsters eventually came into possession of the trucks and have since added a few to the collection. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Candles likely culprit as residents driven from apt. By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Residents of an apartment in the 2200-block of Atkins Avenue in Port Coquitlam have yet to return to their homes after fire ripped through the building last Thursday night. Investigators believe unattended candles are likely what caused the fire, which broke out in a third-storey unit shortly before 10 p.m. PoCo Deputy Chief Alan Nicholson said the flames were contained to one apartment but smoke and significant water damage affected surrounding suites. “[Firefighters] managed to keep everything contained, which was a great save,� he said.
“It could have easily spread to other parts of the building.� Residents were quickly evacuated and spent the weekend at the PoCo Inn and Suites. They were allowed into the building on Tuesday to retrieve their belongings but Nicholson could not say when occupants could return for good. “It will be a while yet,� he said. “The apartment has been turned over to the owner and it is their responsibility to bring the building back up to conditions where people can move back in.� One of the occupants of the unit where the fire originated was burned when she went back inside to retrieve a cat; she was treated and later released. Two other individuals who
were believed to be in the unit when the fire started originally left the scene, Nicholson said, but returned later and were questioned by police and fire investigators. Firefighters worked for more than an hour on the blaze, battling through thick smoke to bring the flames under control. Nicholson said because of the extreme heat, crews had difficulty getting into the suite when they first arrived. He reminded the public to be careful when using open flames in their homes and to never leave candles unattended. “People need to be cautious,� he said. “Especially when using candles or cigarettes in their suites.� gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Smoke but no fire as boat rushes to PM shore A pleasant day on the water turned into an emergency situation for several Port Moody boaters Sunday after an oil leak began spraying the craft’s exhaust manifold, sending plumes of smoke into the air. The operator of the vessel was able to steer the boat to a dock at a home on Alderside Road, where
Port Moody Fire and Rescue crews were able to assist. “It didn’t end up being much,� said Deputy Fire Chief Gord Parker. “It caused a lot of smoke but there didn’t end up being a big fire.� The Port Moody department responded with two engines for the call and a fire boat was on its
way as crews assessed the situation. He said damage was limited to smoke in the interior of the engine compartment and there were no injuries in the incident. “We are getting into boating season,� he said. “These are the kinds of things we end up responding to this time of year.� gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Bear calls down but one bruin is already dead
We’ll give you that beautiful smile!
Bear in DeBoville Slough area was shot after it killed some chickens By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Bear season is well underway and the ripening of salmonberries could bring more black bears into the region. But so far, complaints are down, says Coquitlam’s Bear Aware co-ordinator, Drake Stephens. “We had 40 calls in the month of May, that’s fairly low compared to other years,” Stephens said. Last year, 72 complaints were made about bears in May in Coquitlam alone; this year, 78 complaints were received for all of the Tri-Cities from April 1 to May 26, according to the BC Conservation Officer Service. But one bear has already been shot in the agricultural area near DeBoville Slough after killing some chickens and Stephens said conservation officers were concerned its activities would escalate. Last year was an exceptional year for bear complaints and 11 bruins were killed, nine of them in Coquitlam. But with the cold winter, calls dropped off and conservation officers hope the trend continues. People are reminded to keep their garbage secured until between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection days — the same hours apply in all three local cities — and those who don’t could get letters of warning and, potentially, fines for repeat offences. In Coquitlam, approximately six warning letters have gone out so far to residents for failing to comply with garbage set out regulations, said Steffanie Warriner, the city’s manager of environmental services. Meanwhile, efforts to educate residents about con-

trolling bear attractants appears to be paying off. A bear that was hanging around in the Miller Park area of Coquitlam has generated only a few calls and a bear that was active on Westwood Plateau a few weeks ago seems to have moved on, although it may have moved to Heritage Mountain in Port Moody where bear sightings were recently reported, Stephens said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Cities playing catch-up continued from front page
PoCo’s website is being updated for the new regulations, said city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal. Coquitlam, meanwhile, is recommending no change because council has yet to update its sprinkling bylaw. “It will be confusing for people,” the city’s communications manager, Dan McDonald, admitted, but he said bylaws and enforcement are the city’s responsibility and this one is “still before council.” Last week, Coquitlam council reviewed the proposed bylaw changes but sent them back to staff for more information, Port Moody won’t be addressing the issue until June 14 and PoCo’s environmental services committee has approved the changes but council has yet to deal with it. Until local bylaws catch up with the new policy, residents should stick to early morning watering. According to Metro Vancouver, the change is needed to clamp down on water use during peak evening hours. While Metro has plenty of drinking water in its reservoirs, it still struggles to deliver enough water to the edges of the region at peak times during the season for things such as firefighting — and adding more capacity for lawn sprinkling would be wasteful, Metro Vancouver says. “[The water committee] would rather defer that capital investment and use it for more other important things other than insuring unfettered access for the purpose of pouring it on the lawn,” said Metro Van spokesperson Bill Morrell, who noted that the new rules allow for 15 hours of water sprinkling each week even though only one hour a week is needed to keep lawns green during dry spells. Morning sprinkling is also better, he said, because there is less evaporation.

Meanwhile, the plan is to educate residents for a year before the new rules are enforced in 2012. Beside changes to residential lawn sprinkling, businesses and institutions are limited to sprinkling to between 1 and 6 a.m. — even-numbered addresses on Mondays and Wednesdays, odd-numbered on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and all nonresidential properties may sprinkle from 4 to 9 a.m. on Fridays.

Coquitlam residents who need a reminder for turning off their water sprinklers can get help from the city. After a trial venture late last summer, the city is once again selling WaterWise kits to prevent water wastage. Steffanie Warriner, manager of environmental services, said the city is promoting the kits to coincide with the warmer weather and sprinkling regulations. The outdoor WaterWise kit costs $15 and contains a hose timer, a hand nozzle for the hose, hose washers and a gauge for measuring how much water has fallen on the lawn. An indoor kit is also available for $12 and contains a low-flow shower head, faucet aerators, leak-detection tablets and a shower timer, among other items. “They’re aimed at helping residents with water conservation,” Warriner said, noting that both kits can be purchased for $25.

Crossroads store on the move this week The popular Crossroads Hospice Society Thrift Store in Coquitlam is moving to larger digs to accommodate its need for more shopping and storage space. At the end of the business day tomorrow (Thursday), the store will close its doors and Crossroads staff, volunteers and helpers will begin the
short move from the store’s current location at 2565 Barnet Hwy. to its new one at 2780 Barnet Hwy. The store, which opened in 2004, has spent the past year planning its move to a larger location to provide more retail space to customers and to warehouse its growing inventory of donations. The new store is
slated to open within two weeks. “With a soft opening date scheduled for Tuesday, June 21 to open our doors to customers, we hope that the public will help us fill our racks with gently-used, high-quality items,” said Crossroads’ executive director, Barb Henham, in a press release. “So, while we move, we ask the public to
begin dropping of their donations... between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. from Monday to Friday.” The expanded thrift store will also have expanded operating hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on “Thrifty Thursdays.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
ne of the most annoying inequities in federal politics, other than the Senate, may soon be corrected. The Conservative government, freshly elected with a majority of seats, plans to bring in legislation to give B.C., Alberta and Ontario the actual number of House of Commons seats these fast-growing provinces deserve. It’s long overdue. While many people think the House of Commons is a “rep. by pop.” institution, that is not the case. There are certain constitutional guarantees that keep some parts of Canada vastly over-represented. While each province or territory should have at least one seat, Prince Edward Island, for example, has four MPs for its 136,000 residents. Residents there have almost four times as many MPs as Langley, which has a population of about 125,000. And the Tri-Cities, with a population of more than 200,000, has just two MPs. Unfortunately, because of such guarantees, including one that says Quebec must have 75 seats, the only way to properly represent Canada’s growing population in the House is by adding seats. At present, there are 308 MPs. It could be argued that is perhaps 50 too many. But it is better to have too many MPs than to have some fast-growing areas of the country, including B.C.’s Lower Mainland, severely under-represented in Ottawa. Under-representation of B.C. and Alberta is perhaps the most glaring problem (the proposal would see B.C. get seven more seats and Alberta five) because both provinces rarely get the attention in Ottawa that Ontario does. Ontario, because of its large and fastgrowing population, and its proximity to Ottawa, never has any trouble getting attention. The same cannot be said for western Canada, even though a large proportion of economic and population growth in Canada now comes from the four western provinces. Fairness is fundamental to a healthy democracy. If this proposal comes to pass, Canada’s population will be more fairly represented in Parliament. – The Langley Times (Black Press)
Yale treaty is toughest test yet in land claims BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he treaty with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon was hastily approved last week as the B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer. This treaty was by far the most significant work of the legislature session, and it may make or break the hugely expensive B.C. treaty effort, yet it received all of four hours of debate during the abbreviated spring legislature session and will probably get little attention when it reaches the House of Commons for final approval. A few eyebrows were raised when Chief Justice Lance Finch of the B.C. Court of Appeal entered the legislature to give royal assent to the treaty and a handful of other bills. This would normally be the duty of Lt.Gov. Steven Point but he was on a four-day
T
visit to promote literacy at reserves in the Quesnel and Williams Lake area. I’m advised by the lieutenant-governor’s staff that this trip had been scheduled for some time and his absence had nothing to do with the treaty awaiting his signature. It is purely a coincidence that Point is a former tribal chair of the Sto:lo Nation, which sent a delegation to the legislature to protest the Yale treaty just before it was tabled. The only substantive scrutiny of the treaty — and the only vote against it — came from independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. He stressed that he supports the Yale’s right to a treaty but detailed the Sto:lo’s objections. Their central objection is that the 150-member Yale band is an arbitrary creation of the Indian Act, a splinter group of the larger Sto:lo Nation. The treaty formalizes the Yale’s control over key canyon fishing and rack-drying sites that were vital to survival for thousands of years. Ottawa outlawed transfer of native heredi-

tary property rights in its notorious potlatch law of 1884, and native fish sales in 1888. This disrupted whatever order had been imposed by Sto:lo clans on the fishing sites. Some Sto:lo people were moved south to reserves in the Fraser Valley, where they were expected to abandon their traditional ways and become farmers. Sto:lo Nation president Joe Hall put it to me this way: “I don’t want to be like Donald Trump and look at people’s birth certificates but the Yale are a Sto:lo band. They would have been chased out of there a long time ago if they weren’t.” In the treaty debate, Simpson put it to Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak that the federal and provincial governments have resorted to a “first-past-the-post” system to force progress on treaties. He said the tiny Yale community gets a huge advantage by completing a treaty while some Sto:lo bands remain at an early stage of negotiations and still others aren’t in treaty talks. Polak cited a section that is now standard
in modern treaties. It protects the constitutional rights of other aboriginals where a court upholds a claim to Yale territory, which they will soon own as fee-simple property. Polak insisted the Yale treaty will ease tensions in the disputed fishing sites, where violent incidents have taken place. She argued that exclusive access to the main areas of dispute was long ago included in the Yale’s original reserves. The treaty will provide a process for temporary access by other people, native and non-native. We will see if she is right, perhaps as early as this summer. There are two regions of B.C. where the encroachment of European settlers led to shooting wars with aboriginal people. One was the Cariboo-Chilcotin and the other was the Fraser Canyon.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Thanks, Jennie
Austin tower talk
The Editor, As I read through both of our local community papers this evening, it occurs to me just how much I enjoy having this luxury. I think we sometimes take for granted the privilege of access to: current local news, announcements of events, stories about people in our community, requests for assistance, thank-you’s for good d e e d s, p rov i d i n g awareness and details about neighbourhood issues... Not only do members of the area use the newspaper as a source of information but also as a venue to share their own views or information. What a great service. Community newspapers such as ours seem to provide some of the glue that helps us to live together, rather than in isolation. Jennie Boulanger, Coquitlam
The Editor, Re. “Towering concerns on Austin” (The Tri-City News, June 1). There is a near-universal consensus that the Austin Heights commercial core is in dire need of revitalization so, like many Coquitlam councillors, staff members and area residents, I, too, was astounded by the level of opposition to the Beedie Group’s tower proposal on Austin. To make clear just what this revitalization entails, the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan — the creation of which involved dozens of open houses, input sessions, public hearings, etc. and was ultimately unanimously approved by council and lauded by the community — refers to the Neighbourhood Centre (in which the proposal is located) as “high-density” no fewer than six times, features highrises in seven photographs and illustrations, and calls for a “two- to four-storey street-wall punctuated by a series of towers” along Austin. It is simply inconceivable that anyone could interpret this as meaning anything other than height and density. As Coun. Brent Asmundson said, without the levels of density proposed in this project and called for by the plan, developers simply will not be interested and thus the entire process will stall. This proposal is a resounding vote of confidence in an area overlooked for the past two decades. To reject it
would be to reject more than just a tower but the entire notion of a refreshed, renewed and revitalized Austin Heights. Sebastian Zein, Port Coquitlam
‘POOR PLANNING’ The Editor, I think the message Coquitlam council should have received from the May 30 public hearing is that the majority of Austin Heights residents do not want a 24-storey tower in their neighbourhood. This type of planning may have taken years but it is very poor planning in terms of managing growth and it lacks consideration for the community. Council has now heard the concerns of residents and has asked staff to work on addressing them. My concern is that too often, Coquitlam council has disregarded public input or the issue gets re-addressed behind closed doors. Unless someone is staying on top of the issue, which is practically a full-time job minus the pay, it can be difficult for residents to remain informed, especially when our council is about as transparent as a brick wall. What it boils down to time and time again is a mistrust of this council. If Coquitlam council were to be graded on their track record for respectful community engagement and consultation, it would fail. Jane Thomsing, Coquitlam

Green light for sewage plan Who’s paying unclear and soaring fees expected in some areas without cost-sharing By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Margaret Mircic and Emma Dinsdale were among a group of Dr. Charles Best secondary school students, including several from Ken Ipe’s Social Justice 12 class, who went to Vancouver on Saturday to collect signatures for a petition calling on the federal government to provide more funding to UNICEF for a campaign to stop female genital mutilation. According to a UNICEF fact sheet, the practice affects millions of girls and women, mainly children and adolescents, and can cause bleeding, infection and death.
The province has approved Metro Vancouver’s new liquid waste plan but is giving no assurances it will meet the region’s key demand to share in the expense of building advanced sewage treatment plants. The plan commits Metro to replace the Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants — the two remaining ones discharging into the ocean — by 2020 and 2030 respectively. The two projects are expected to cost $1.4 billion and threaten to dra-

For one thing, he said, Metro has pledged to accelerate the rebuild of Iona, completing it by 2020 if the senior governments pitch in. All other sewage treatment plants in the region are already use more advanced secondary treatment systems. Iona and Lions Gate have been targeted in the past by environmental groups, which have tried to launch private prosecutions against Metro, alleging the effluent discharged to the ocean contravenes the Fisheries Act. The new Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan also commits Metro Vancouver to treat sewage as more of a resource from which nutrients, energy and water can be reclaimed. jnagel@blackpress.ca

matically increase sewer system fees for property owners, particularly in Vancouver and the North Shore. For the Lions Gate plant, North Shore residents face the prospect of fees rising from $250 per year now to $1,400 unless the federal and provincial governments step in to share a third of the costs apiece. Vancouverites could see their sewage costs soar to nearly $1,200 a year. “We’re talking big bucks,” said Metro Van’s waste committee chair, Greg Moore. “We have to get their support to build these things. “There’s no way we can afford that if it’s not cost-shared,” the Port Coquitlam mayor said. Moore said he’s optimistic Victoria and Ottawa will look favourably on Metro’s requests for support for plant replacements.

M e t ro Va n c o u ve r must do more than simply ban wood waste from the dump if it wants to boost recycling rates in the region’s construction and demolition sector, according to industry leaders. The last in a series of public dialogues on Metro’s Zero Waste C h a l l e n g e s t r at e g y heard experts call for a co-ordinated approach to ensure it’s easier to drop off wood — particularly for residential demolitions. “If they ban wood waste completely but they don’t put in place where it can go, they run the risk then of people circumventing the regulation and dumping the stuff illegally,” warned Greater Va n c o u v e r H o m e Builders’ Association CEO Peter Simpson, one of the speakers May 31 in Surrey. Construction, renovation and demolition work generates 1.3 million tonnes of waste in the region each year. While 76% of that

Finding an ecologically sound way of disposing of urban wood waste from construction and other sources is a challenge for Metro Vancouver. is already recycled — thanks to effective handling of marketable materials like drywall and metals — Metro intends to ban wood from garbage disposal by 2015 in an effort to pull yet more material from the waste stream. It’s part of the region’s strategy to boost the overall recycling rate from 55 to 70%. Legitimate contractors will comply with a wood waste ban while passing higher costs on to home owners, Simpson said. But he said those rules will be ignored by scofflaws and worsen Metro’s already burgeoning billion-dol-
lar underground cash economy for renovations and demolitions. “It will penalize those who choose to operate above-board and play by the rules,” he predicted. Simpson said it may make the most sense to require permitted contractors to send all waste to an authorized licensed facility, which would sort waste off site. Corinne Fulton, general manager of 3R Demolition, said complete deconstruction — rather than demolition — of some buildings is possible, achieving very high recycling rates. T h e ch a l l e n g e i s where to put salvaged
items like windows and door frames and how to market them. Some items — like toilets — may not be reusable because of changing building standards. “Deconstruction is good,” Fulton said. “We do a lot of that on our commercial projects. But in the residential sector there just isn’t the market to move all those things.” She said 65 to 75% of materials can be recovered from a conventional demolition, including wood, concrete, metals and even trees and shrubs.

Recycling an option continued from page 13
Metro senior planning manager Ken Carrusca said the regional district intends to provide a draft bylaw to municipalities that would regulate wood waste recycling. Someone who gets a building or demolition permit may also be required to take material to an approved recycling facility and then bring back verification showing how much was recycled. It’s hoped that will foster development of other uses for wood and similar salvage materials, leading to more intensive recycling. “You do need the regulations and at the same time places to take the material,” Carrusca said. There’s usually little time to intensively recycle, Carrusca said, noting, “The typical residential demolition happens in one day.” Much wood now collected in the region ends up at Urban Woodwaste Recyclers, which was bought last year by U.S-based Harvest Power. The firm now handles 170,000 tonnes per year and is pursuing a major expansion of its New Westminster operation, which could eventually add its own wood-fired heat and power plant, heating Royal Columbian Hospital and other nearby users through a district energy system. Similar wood waste-fired energy utilities are now being built at UBC and SFU. “I hope we’re doing 400,000 tonnes by the end of 2013,” Babcock said.
Harvest Power also bought Richmond Soil and Fibre, which has a regional contract with Metro to compost organic waste being collected in local cities. Clean uncontamiPETER SIMPSON nated wood goes there for composting, Babcock said. But he said a major challenge is the volume of incoming wood coated with lead-based paint or creosote preservative that can’t be used and is typically landfilled. For the most part, wood recycling doesn’t mean manufacturing new wood-based products. At least 60% of the waste wood Urban handles is shredded and combined with bits of plastic and other combustible material to become a fuel burned by industries like Howe Sound Pulp and Paper and Lafarge Cement. Waste wood fuel also counts as carbon-neutral, so burning it rather than coal allows firms like Lafarge to gain carbon credits for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They also avoid B.C.’s carbon tax, which is charged on coal but not wood. The province’s Pacific Carbon Trust has been using money from arms of government and other clients who buy carbon offsets to subsidize industries or plants that convert to wood fuel. jnagel@blackpress.ca

“There are millions of adults who dream of writing a novel. These kids, they’re 10 to 13 years old and they’ve done it.” Cheryl Angst, teacher, whose Grade 6 and 7 students wrote their own books
Students in Cheryl Angst and Christina Cameron’s class at Port Coquitlam’s Minnekhada middle school wrote between 6,000 and 7,000 words in a month to produce their own novels, a project that proved daunting at first. CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
PoCo kids have the write stuff By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
T
hey suffered writer’s block, stressed over deadlines and agonized over plot and character. Now, after months of hard work, the Grade 6 and 7 students in Cheryl Angst’s Language Arts class are published authors with books in their hands. Could movie deals be far behind? Who knows, but one thing’s for certain: The 150 Minnekhada students who completed the NaNoWriMo Young Writer’s Program this year could give fantasy fiction novelists like J.K. Rowling and Christopher Paolini a run for their money. Their books have the look and feel of treasured children’s classics and the stories are tales of heartbreak, loss and coming of age. Some are harrowing adventure tales featuring plucky heroes and heroines while others examine the struggles of growing up
and fitting in. Justine Straith’s novel Kayda is about a Japanese girl’s culture shock upon arriving in America and while Straith isn’t ready to let others look at it yet — she’s not crazy about criticism, but who is? — she’s pretty happy about the results of all her hard work. “It looked really good,” she said of the thin book with the blue cover and the picture of a dog that recently arrived in the mail. The books are the proof that even young writers can be challenged to finish a novel, says Angst, who got involved in the NaNoWiMo project two years ago and wrote alongside her students. At first, she said, the students were shocked to learn they would have to produce between 6,000 and 7,000 words in 30 days (depending on their grade) but, after several lessons, they got over their initial misgivings and wrote up a storm. “It’s scary but we prepared them,” said Angst, who worked with co-teacher Christina
Chen said, noting J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Ringss was his inspiration. Coming up with names for her characters was also a challenge for Daisy Lee, who borrowed her brother’s name for a character in her novel Memories about two best friends who are “free nobodies” until “one nobody wanted to rule the world.” Lee was afraid her brother would be mad, but “he thought it was cool,” she said. When they finished their novels, the students celebrated with a party, then they had to design the dust jacket and set the type. It was a challenge but the effort paid off this month, when the printed books were finally delivered. “For me, the really powerful learning is that these kids believe in themselves,” Angst said, “There are millions of adults who dream of writing a novel. These kids, they’re 10 to 13 years old and they’ve done it.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Cameron on the project. “They maybe don’t think they want to write but they like to tell stories. And then they walk away with tangible proof they can do something.” NaNoWriMo (ywp.nanowrimo.org/ press#history) also provides lots of encouragement and motivation to help along the way. There are progress charts and supportive letters from adult novelists, and the students get a coupon for a free proof copy of their novel from createspace.com. Still, there were challenges. Victoria Bradley said she often got distracted and had trouble coming up with “fresh ideas” for her novel 8 People and their Destiny, which is about four children who face a mystery villain in another dimension. Adrian Chen struggled with names for the characters in his book The Lost Father and settled on “Jeff Smith” for the boy who follows journal clues to track his missing father. “I read other books I could connect to,”

Children can join the club at PMPL
Children who sign up for the summer reading club at Port Moody Public Library will join more than 90,000 kids across B.C. this year. The PMPL summer reading club, similar to those being held at libraries across the province, is a free program that encourages kids of all ages to read (or be read to) for 50 days over the summer holidays. Kids receive a bookmark, reading log and calendar to keep track of their success and receive special stickers for each week of completed reading. Children who complete 50 days of reading will receive a gold medal at a ceremony Aug. 27. This year’s theme is “Savour Each Word” and PMPL is cooking up programs for club members. Kids can sing along with popular children’s musician Will Stroet and laugh at ventriloquist Neale Bacon’s Bananas for Books show. PMPL is also offering a delectable “Plant It, Grow It, Eat!” program in partnership with the city’s gardening experts where kids can grow their very own edible plant. Members will also have the chance to enter summer reading club book draws throughout the summer. Kids who need an extra bit of motivation to crack the covers can join the Bite into Books with a Buddy program. This program partners six- to 10-year-olds with Teen Buddies and is perfect for kids needing extra reading practice. All programs are drop-in and free for summer reading club members. Space is limited in all programs, so kids should arrive early to get a seat. The Summer Reading Club is cosponsored by the BC Library Association, with assistance from the Ministry of Education’s Public Library Services Branch. For more information, visit www. library.portmoody. ca or phone 604-4694577. PMPL is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.
Pinetree fun & games bike for more livable Coquitlam’s Pinetree community centre will host assorted drop-in programs this summer, including: • Badminton: Bring your family and friends down to play badminton on Sundays.

Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers. Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them. Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk empties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So on your next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.
NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THEY SHOULD GO.

This soon becomes the least of their worries as the pair is soon caught up in political events affecting their country. • Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff This book has received a fair amount of publicity already but, as I liked it so much, I thought I would give it a little bit more. Cleopatra is, of course, about the Egyptian queen, with a focus on her intelligence and her abilities as a ruler. The book does mention her relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony — it is mainly about Cleopatra as a person, not Cleopatra as a seductress. Cleopatra was amazingly intelligent, she spoke five languages and her teachers were the most learned men of the day. She used her intel-

ligence to rule Egypt and she managed to keep her nation out of Roman hands for many years — not something that was easy to achieve as Rome had its eye on Egypt’s fabulous wealth. Cleopatra was a multi-faceted person and I enjoyed reading a book that highlighted something other than her romances. • My Lurid Past by Lauren Henderson This is chick-lit for grown-ups. Aptly-named and fun, it has a bit of romance but it’s not sugary sweet. Juliet Cooper is the quintessential 30-something urban woman. She works in food PR, which is a lot flashier than it sounds as her biggest client is an up-and-coming celebrity chef.

Cadets on parade at Best on Sunday
Battle of the bands continued from page 18
Juliet isn’t in a relationship with anyone and she’s okay with that until the day that she isn’t. The books starts with Juliet ready to embark on an brief affair with a young man. Unfortunately for both of them, that’s the day that she finds that short-term relationships are no longer working for her. Juliet, confused by how she’s feeling, talks to her two best friends, Mel and Gillian. They both have their own relationship issues so between the three of them, there is a lot to discuss. This is an entertaining, urban romance that doesn’t end in a neatly tied bow. • Beat the Band by Don Calame This hilarious young adult novel about three teenage boys, Coop, Matt and Sean, centres around Coop and his attempts to become one of the cool kids. He suffers a major setback right as soon as the school year starts when
he is paired with Helen for a semester-long health project. It wouldn’t be so bad if Helen was a nobody but, no, she is the least popular person in Coop’s grade. Coop has decided that he and his two best friends need to counteract his association with Helen by competing in the school’s Battle of the Bands contest. Everyone loves a rock star and Coop is pretty sure he has what it takes. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t know how to play an instrument and neither do his friends. But they have a couple of months to practise and what possibly could go wrong? This story is funny and heartwarming and is a fun and occasionally painful reminder of what life in high school was like. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Sharon Visser Araujo works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

At the camps, kids participate in a range of educational and fun activities, including animal-themed games, skits and crafts; as well, there will be guest speakers and more. “The highlight for many of the kids who take part in our camps is the time they spend every day interacting with, and learning about, small animals such as cats, rats and other small, furry creatures,” BC SPCA's humane education manager, Paula Neuman, said in a press release. (All dogs participating in the camps have been temperament-tested by SPCA animal welfare professionals.)
In addition to learning about pet care, animal health and welfare, Neuman said the children will come away with a wealth of knowledge about farm animal welfare, wild animals, the environment and careers in the Àeld of animal welfare. Registration for the camps has begun or by phone (call 604-599-7209 on weekdays). Camps run Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and cost

Teddy Bear Picnic Parade on Pinetree Way Sunday F
estival Coquitlam Society will again be presenting the annual Teddy Bear Picnic Parade which will stroll down Pinetree Way Sunday, June 12 at 10 a.m. This event marks the beginning of an exciting, fun filled day, as it precedes the opening of the Teddy Bear Picnic at Town Centre Park. This years parade theme is Kids 'n' Sports and because of the theme we have chosen Lui Passaglia to be the Grand Marshall of the parade. Entries in this year’s parade include marching bands, mascots, community youth groups, emergency services, and of course the clowns. “The enthusiasm, community spirit and the willingness to give back to community by participants involved in the parade is what keeps me involved in this event, as well as the other venues that Festival Coquitlam hosts over the summer” says Malcolm Kennedy, Festival Coquitlam’s parade co-ordinator. “We have a wonderful and diverse community; is evident in the Teddy Bear Picnic Parade every year. Without the dedication and participation of these groups we would not have a parade to enjoy. I would like to invite all the families in this great community of ours to gather up the kids, their teddy bears, and join together in celebrating a day of family fun.”

Eva Pekarova, a Grade 11 Terry Fox secondary student, played Lincoln Center last week.
National orchestra for him, NYC for her By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody secondary’s Chan Lee, 16, has been asked to return to the National Youth Orchestra of Canada.
wo Tri-City high school students have been given chances of a lifetime to advance their music careers. Chan Lee, 16, a Grade 11 international baccalaureate student at Port Moody secondary, was recently asked to return to the National Youth Orchestra of Canada this summer. And, last week, Eva Pekarova, a Grade 11 student at Terry Fox secondary in Port Moody, flew to New York City to perform her original composition at the Lincoln Centre. Pekarova was given the opportunity after winning the Young Composers' Showcase Concert Festival, an international music competition. The 17-year-old Slovakian native, who officially started to write music last year, entered her piano piece Journey of the Danube River in G-minor, an homage to "a place I love very much," she said in an email interview. "Though it is a calm river at the present time, its vibrant and distinct past is what the song was writ-
ten for, particularly for the passing of the years for the once-dynamic river." Pekarova said she penned the first 30 seconds of the work as an experiment, got writer's block but wrapped it up in four days to meet the contest deadline. While in New York City with her father, Pekarova said she plans to visit landmarks, including the famed Julliard School of Music, located across the street from Lincoln Center. Playing Lincoln "will truly be a great experience for me and I can't wait to see it for myself," she said last Thursday. "It's something I've only dreamed about and worked towards but actually performing there didn't seem like an option that would be available so soon after I started composing." As for her post-secondary goals, Pekarova said she plans to stick with composing and performing. "I could never really imagine doing anything other than music," she said. "My whole family is full of artists. see LEE,, page g 35

If it hadn’t been for a bit of prodding by their loved ones, it’s likely both Lindsay Watson and Angela Gooliaff wouldn’t be back to creating — never mind showing their work at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts this month. Several years ago, Watson’s 16-year-old daughter came across her dusty, old portfolio in the attic that Watson had put together while taking a drawing class at university. “She said, ‘Mom, these are really good,’” Watson said, “and that was my rebirth into the art world. I longed to do it.” The Coquitlam resident signed up for an acrylic painting class and, since then, she has sold to private collections in Canada and Germany, taken part in juried group shows and become a member of Art Focus and the BC Art Teachers’ Association. Her display in the Mezzanine Gallery at Place des Arts, titled Everyday Treasures, is her first solo foray and features 18 still life pieces painted over the past year, showing ordinary objects in beautiful, daily settings: a slice of cherry pie on a plate; red and white geraniums in a vase; and an open jar of peach jam. Gooliaff, too, was inspired to get back to her artwork by fellow Emily Carr graduate Tony Chu, a Richmond resident who will be showcasing his multi-media pieces with Gooliaff in the Leonore Peyton Salon at Place des Arts — their first joint exhibition. Gooliaff said she finally picked up her pencil after two years of pressure from Chu because, she said, he had asked her, “’Do you want to be artistic or do you want to be known as an artist?’” For her new show with Chu, titled The Joy of Drawing, Gooliaff, who has a biology degree, will present nine drawings focusing on ants. “I have a huge interest in tiny things and how amazing they are,” she said, adding the name of the exhibit “is about slowing down and paying attention to what’s happening every day.... It’s an exploration.” • The opening reception for the two exhibits — plus the Place des Arts’ annual student show in the Atrium Gallery — will be held tomorrow (Thursday) at 7 p.m. at 1120 Brunette Ave. The three exhibits are up until July 9.

Lee the youngest to win NYOC scholarship continued from page 33
“In fact, my grandmother's great-grandfather, Zoltan Sandor, was great friends with the famous composer Franz Lehar, whom he collaborated with and helped write the lyrics for Lehar's operas." Fox music teacher Ryan Cho said Pekarova is a flautist in the school's concert band, a pianist in a school jazz ensemble and a singer in the school's concert and vocal jazz choirs (to
hear her music, visit www.reverbnation.com/ evapekarova). As for Lee, he was one of six musicians to win a $4,000 scholarship to play with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada — making him the youngest, and only violinist, to clinch the cash award. Lee, who picked up the instrument at the age of six, performed with the orchestra last summer during its 50th anniversary session and represented Vancouver
as one of the concert masters; during the national tour, he played the tricky solo in Nikolai R i m s k y - Ko r s a ko v ' s Scheherazade at the Chan Centre at UBC. "This year, I will be concert master again for the 51st session, leading the orchestra for the training session in July and the tour in August," he said in an email. "I am looking forward to spending my summer at NYOC as last year's experience was so enjoyable and educational.”

’Rocks, refs rob Adanacs Late penalties cost A’s victory in Vic. By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
After getting robbed Friday in Victoria, the Coquitlam Adanacs returned home Saturday to withdraw two points from the goal-bankrupt Burnaby Lakers. Two marginal penalties against the A’s in the final four minutes allowed the host Shamrocks to overcome a two-goal deficit and force overtime, where they eventually prevailed 12-11. The loss, coupled with the A’s 9-4 triumph over Burnaby the next night, moved Coquitlam to 3-20, behind only the 3-0-1 Shamrocks in the seventeam Western Lacrosse Association. Adanacs general manager Les Wingrove was rankled by the two calls against his squad late in regulation time –– one on leading scorer Dane Dobbie for unsportsmanlike conduct with four minutes left, the other on transition player Jon Harnett for an “absurd” slashing call with 11 seconds left that set up the 10-10 tying goal with just six ticks to go to force a 10-minute extra session. Dobbie was whistled for yapping from the bench after his goal was disallowed because of a ridiculous crease violation call, Wingrove said, while Harnett’s infraction was even more outrageous –– a slash on
his follow through while throwing the ball down the floor to kill time when his stick allegedly didn’t even strike a Victoria player. “I have the videotape and he didn’t even hit the guy,” Wingrove said. “In all my years in lacrosse, I’ve never seen a penalty called like that. We often complain about the officiating in Victoria but the game was actually called pretty well until the final four minutes, then it went all wonky. “I truly think we got robbed of two points.” Dobbie led the A’s with three goals and three assists. Against the Lakers, the A’s raced to a 4-1 first-period lead and sailed to a 9-4 win at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. Dobbie netted two goals and added four assists, with Daryl Ve l t m a n a d d i n g a pair of tallies and two helpers. Cory Conway chipped in with four assists.
SAINTS NET WIN Port Coquitlam Saints posted their first win of the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league season Sunday by beating the Timbermen 12-8 in Nanaimo. Cody L’Arrivee and Danton Nicholson fired in three goals each for the Saints, who moved to 1-10-0. The Timbermen slid to 3-8-0.
Gleneagle golfers No. 1 Led by the sizzling play of Jessie Keel, the Gleneagle Talons claimed top spot recently in the B.C. high school golf provincials May 30 and June 1 at The Dunes course in Kamloops. Keel fired the lowest two-day score by a girl in the tournament’s 40-year history and was the top individual overall at four-under par. Other Talons were Kevin Ko (top male) Ally Shin, David Lee and Duncan Priestley.
BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS
Hodson Harding of Gleneagle competes Saturday in the B.C. high school track and field finals in Burnaby.
By George, he’s gold in track It was a photo finish and, by George, he won –– by a whisker. Nathan George of the Centennial Centaurs edged Brendon Restall of Victoria’s Oak Bay by a mere one-100th of a second to win the boys 200-metre sprint final Saturday in the B.C. high school track and field championships at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Gleneagle Talons’ Hodson Harding was third in the riveting race in 22.28, while Ben AyesuAttah of the Heritage Woods Kodiaks and Gleneagle’s Nicholas Ayin took fourth and fifth respectively in 22.58 and 22.70. James Linde of the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils was sixth in 22.79 as Tri-City runners ruled the tight, eightsprinter field. The Gleneagle boys team finished tied for seventh overall with Surrey’s Elgin Park Orcas, both with 26 points. Oak Bay won the overall team title handily.
The Kodiaks’ Esinam Ayesu-Attah nabbed silver in the girls 100 metres, finishing in 12.39 seconds and just behind the 12.20 winning time recorded by Shai-Ann Davis of Richmond’s McNair Marlins. Esinam Ayesu-Attah also nabbed fourth spot in the girls 200 m in 25.46. Another Heritage Woods athlete, Anthon Meyer, took second in the boys triple jump with a best leap of 13.24 metres, behind only Nick Fyffe (14.55 m) of the Vancouver College Fighting Irish. Gleneagle’s Ayin bolted to second in the boys 100 m in 11.29 ticks, edged out by Nakai Luyken (11.20) of Abbotsford’s Yale Lions and ahead of third-place finisher Linde (11.46). Linde also soared to sixth place in a field of 24 athletes in the boys long jump with a leap of 6.26 m. Harding sailed to second in the boys 400 m in 47.53 seconds, with Restall winning in 47.39. Ben Ayesu-Attah was third in 48.07, with George (48.78) finishing fifth.
D r. C h a rl e s B e s t Blue Devils and the Centennial Centaurs both finished the B.C. AAA senior girls high school soccer championships in dramatic fashion Saturday in Kamloops. The Blue Devils secured seventh place among 16 teams via a 2-1 win in an overtime shootout over the Kelowna Owls, while the Cents settled for 10th after falling 2-1 in penalty strikes to Victoria’s Oak Bay Bays. Arg yle Pipers of North Vancouver won the event after bouncing the Claremont Spartans of Victoria 5-2 in the final. Jocelyn Trenamen of the Blue Devils and Centennial’s Jenny Gluska were selected to the Commissioner’s 11 all-star squad. The Cents’ Olivia Aguiar missed making the select side despite netting six of her team’s nine tournament goals, good for second in scoring at the tournament. T h e B l u e D ev i l s beat the Prince George Polars 5-0 and Oak Bay 1-0 but lost 2-1 to Argyle in round-robin play, before dropping a 3-1 count to the Point Grey Greyounds in the crossover playoffs. Centennial beat Cranbrook’s Mt. Baker Wild 4-0, fell 3-0 to Claremont and knotted Kelowna 2-2 in their round robin pool, then edged West Vancouver’s Sentinel Spartans 2-1 in a cross-over playoff match.
’CAPS OFF TO HER Sydney Leroux, a for mer Coquitlam City Wild youth standout, knocked in two goals to lift the visi t i n g Va n c o u v e r Whitecaps to a 4-2 victory Saturday over the Los Angeles Strikers in United Soccer Leagues W-league action.
