Would you help seduce this man? By Diane Strandberg

Maillardville will be gussying itself up and putting its best face forward for a popular francophone television show called La Petite Séduction. The program, which is aired by Radio-Canada television and seen by 1.3 million people each week, is a kind of tourism promotion/ reality television hybrid in which a community tries to seduce an artist by showing off its attributes.

More help for homeless

Daniel Lemire, a comedian, will visit Maillardville to film the TV show ‘La Petite Séduction.’

Homelessness initiatives in the Tri-Cities may have helped significantly reduce the overall number of people sleeping on the streets but the hardest work still lies ahead, according to one housing advocate. Rob Thiessen, director of the Hope for Freedom Society, said that as the number of homeless people shrinks, those who remain on the streets are generally the hardest to house. Whether their challenges are mental illness or severe drug and alcohol addictions — or all three — and unless services adapt, Thiessen said many will remain stubbornly committed to living outdoors. “We are getting down to the hard stuff,” he said. “Some of these people are the hardest to house.” During the winter months, when the cold/wet weather mat program is in operation, the society tracks the number of people it has moved from the shelter into permanent housing. Thiessen said that while his organization has been successful in finding housing for many people, the

BOOK ’EM: Looking for something to do on a summer Sunday? The library isn’t always an option. See page 3 numbers show signs that things appear to be slowing down. Last year, more than 50 people were moved off the streets during the course of the mat program while this year, the society reported about 30 who found a place to live. But today, many of those who have been using the shelters are the same people who started coming out when the program was first launched four years ago, he said. Hope for Freedom Society and many provincial services are going to have to adapt and more mental health resources are needed if the hard-to-house homeless are going to be moved off the streets, he said. see WE HAVE TO ADAPT ADAPT,, page 14

Sunday closures: a tale of three libraries Of Tri-City libraries, only Port Moody’s will be open on sunny Sundays this summer

Local libraries... FACTS & FIGURES

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Besides malls, libraries are ideal places to go to be informed, entertained and enlightened when summer’s heat gets unbearable and television is in re-runs. But not all Tri-City residents seeking the cool respite of a library on a summer Sunday will find it because only Port Moody Public Library is open Sundays year round while Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam libraries are closed Sundays in June, July and August. If you want to get a book on a Sunday in either of CPL’s branches (Town Centre and Poirier), you’ll now have to wait until the weekend after Labour Day while Terry Fox Library won’t re-open Sundays until the weekend after Thanksgiving. Why do they close one day on the weekend, when people are looking for things to do? The story is different for each city. PoMo’s library has managed to keep its doors open on Sundays since 2006 and last year made a policy to stay open on most long weekend Sundays, too. “The opening on Sundays of long weekends was accomplished within our existing budget; no additional funds were requested from the city,” said PoMo’s director of library services, Lynne Russell. That’s good news for PoMo residents, who punch above their weight class when it comes to library circulation. But some of their books may be in the hands of Coquitlam and PoCo residents looking for library services on Sunday, although Russell couldn’t confirm that. For PoCo, the demand for Sunday openings in summer isn’t high, according to Terry Fox Library manager Pat Dawson, who said the

CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Insufficient budget is behind the practice of Coquitlam Public Library closing its two branches on Sundays during the summer months. popular downtown library started Sunday openings for fall and winter in 2003 to meet the needs of families and students. “It’s more spaced out in the summer,” Dawson said of the demand for library services, noting that patrons have a wide range of summer programs to join and can still visit the library six days a week and to 9 p.m. Monday to Thursday. Contrast that with Coquitlam — the biggest city with the most library space — where residents have been clamouring for Sunday summer openings for years but the library can’t afford it. “In the last couple of years, city has directed us not to ask for anything new and we have been very diligent in trying to do that,” said CPL director Rhian Piprell.

6,000 visits a week. The city was expected to take possession of the ground floor at 1169 Pinetree Way late this month but the space will have to undergo extensive renovations. Meanwhile, the Poirier branch continues to be popular after its $3-million facelift, which added new study space and meeting rooms. And limits to opening hours haven’t kept away patrons and circulation continues to climb, with the city spending about $400,000 on books and resources, including eBooks, this year. Still, PoMo has the edge on night-time opening hours, too, and is open until 9 p.m. on Fridays, while the other two libraries are only open until 5 p.m. on that day. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

But that could change with next year’s budget, when the library looks at ways to capitalize on renewed interest in library services predicted when the Town Centre branch moves from it’s current location in the ground floor of city hall to expanded digs at Henderson Centre. “It’s one of the things that people regularly ask for. It’s a fairly high priority,” Piprell said, noting finding the money will be challenging because the city is already taking out a loan to pay for the $9 million facility, although payments will be made with casino funds. An announcement is expected soon on the new Town Centre branch, which will be three times the size of the current space in city hall and which now attracts about

Complaints about plans for Colony Farm By Gary McKenna

IN QUOTES

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A fish hatchery proposed for Colony Farm as part of the environmental remediation effort for damage caused by the construction of the new Port Mann Bridge is being panned by members of the Burke Mountain Naturalists. Elaine Golds, vice-president of the organization, said Metro Vancouver’s proposal merely switches bird habitat to fish habitat and fails to add to the overall ecological system. “We don’t think that is compensation at all,” she said. “This is just a switcheroo.” Staffers with the regional district have already received the go-ahead from the Metro Vancouver board and are now applying for building permits with the city of Port Coquitlam. A public input session on the matter came before the municipality’s social inclusion committee last night, held after The Tri-City News’’ press deadline. Golds, who was planning to speak at the

Cel 604 240 1927 604-941-3838

“There will be huge impacts on the birds that use that area. The equipment will be compacting the soil and it is just not an appropriate activity in a park.” Elaine Golds, Burke Mountain Naturalists meeting, said she also has concerns with the impact the construction of the hatchery would have on the migratory birds that use the area. Bird counts have found that many unusual species use the park as a staging area where they feed on grain to gain strength for the strenuous migration south. The work Metro Vancouver is proposing would take place during that period, Golds said. “There will be huge impacts on the birds

that use that area,” Golds said. “The equipment will be compacting the soil and it is just not an appropriate activity in a park.” Golds (The Tri-City News’’ Green Scene columnist) is calling for remediation for the hatchery — which is already designed as remediation for the Port Mann bridge — adding that there are numerous projects in the area that could be undertaken as compensation. But Frieda Schade, the central area manager of regional parks with Metro Vancouver, disagrees with Golds’ assessment of the situation. She told The Tri-City News that a fish hatchery in Colony Farm would add to the diversity of the ecosystem, something she believes will benefit the birds that use the park. “It may end up adding species to the park and accommodate a larger number of birds,” she said. “We are making the park more diverse, which is good for the ecology of the park.” When making the decision, Schade outlined the tightrope Metro officials must walk.

She said there are stakeholders such as Golds who are angered by the disruption birds will face while on the other side there are groups that believe that even with a new hatchery not enough is being done for the fish. “It is unfortunate that there are people that disagree,” she said, “but I am glad that they care about the park and I do respect their opinion.” Schade said that efforts have been made to limit the impact construction will have on migratory birds. Work will commence after Aug. 1, which is the provincially recognized end of nesting season, and will continue until the fields get wet in the fall. Working on wet ground, she said, can cause soil degradation. When the work is complete, more than 2.8 hectares of the 258-hectare park will be converted to hatchery land, with channels and two ponds, which will serve as a winter habitat for small salmonids. Native plants, trees and shrubs will also be added to the area. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

More trials delayed by lack of sheriffs A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;desperateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; situation puts justice at risk, says lawyer By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

A North Vancouver home invasion case is the latest trial to be delayed due to a shortage of sheriffs that has intensified after cutbacks took effect this month. The case against Duck Yoon was suspended June 8 by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Ar nold-Bailey, who ruled the trial in the downtown Vancouver law courts wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t proceed until sheriffs are available to ensure security. Richard Fowler, one of the lawyers in the case and a spokesperson for the Trial Lawyers Association of BC, called it further evidence courthouse budget cuts are rippling throughout the justice system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a desperate and devastating situation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things have to change immediately. Justice and the people of the province are suffering severe harm by this sad state of affairs.â&#x20AC;? The provincial government cut the hours of 52 auxiliary and part-time sheriffs this month, equivalent to eliminating 34 full-time positions. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on top of the loss of nearly 100 sheriffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost 20% of the workforce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by attrition over a fouryear hiring freeze. Because of the backlog in B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court system, suspending and rescheduling a trial can mean a delay of several months to a year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; potentially putting cases at risk of being thrown out if the eventual wait is found to violate the accusedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to be tried in a reasonable time. Other cases have been

Cutbacks in sheriff services have caused backlogs in B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criminal court system. postponed in recent months in Richmond, Victoria, Nanaimo and the Okanagan, according to the union representing sheriffs. Four additional criminal cases were postponed Wednesday in Vancouver Provincial Cour t at 222 Main Street, said Dean Purdy of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deputy sheriffs couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be provided for security, so the judges

have put all those trials off as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased to see judges are stepping up and refusing to run their court rooms in that manner because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsafe.â&#x20AC;? The Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministry has said courthouse safety and security is a top priority but the deployment of sheriffs is subject to budget restraints. Februaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial budget approved cuts totalling $14.5 million for court services, prosecution services and the judiciary, despite a 2010 report from provincial court judges warning more than 2,000 criminal cases are at risk of being quashed due to excessive delays. B.C. has 12% fewer provincial court judges than in 2005 despite rising caseloads and complexities. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Opium charge for local Summer Vacation? A 58-year-old Port Coquitlam man has been charged with importing a controlled substance and trafficking in a controlled substance in connection with a trip from Iran last year. Akbar Ghoreishi returned to Vancouver International Airport on Sept. 27, 2010 when Canada Border Services officers referred him for a secondary examination. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when officers X-rayed two picture frames that were in his luggage. After noticing irregularities, the picture frames were dismantled and seven packages of opium weighing .91 kilograms was allegedly found. Ghoreishi is scheduled to make his next appearance in Richmond provincial court on July 14 for an arraignment hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Martin van den Hemel, Black Press

Battling giant problem Giant hogweed is both pesky and dangerous By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The city of Coquitlam is once again waging war on an invasive plant that has been cropping up around Metro Vancouver since 2006, causing what city officials call a “serious threat to human health.” Heracleum mante gazzianum, better known as giant hogweed, is a perennial plant native to Asia and first introduced in the province as a garden curiosity, according to the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture. But the plant’s hearty and aggressive nature quickly had its distinctive three- to six-metrehigh stalks shooting up and overtaking native plants all over Metro Vancouver, souther n Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The invasive giant hogweed is not only destructive of native plant species, crowding them out with its large leafy canopy, but it also causes severe burns and dermatitis in people, usually resulting in painful blisters and black scarring on the skin of those unfortunate enough to come into contact with the plant’s sappy stalks, giant leaves and white flowers. It can even cause permanent blindness if its sticky sap gets in the eyes. Coquitlam’s urban forestry department monitors city lands for giant hogweed and is asking residents to eliminate it from their own properties. On Wednesday, The Tri-City News went out with a Coquitlam urban forestry crew to destroy a crop of giant hogweed found and reported by a local resident in a tree-

covered ravine off Shaw Avenue. Wearing yellow hooded protective suits and full face masks, city workers Arne Mitchell and Ron LaPointe dug up several plants, carefully double-bagging them in industrialweight garbage bags and loading them into the truck to be incinerated. LaPointe, who suffered a blistering burn while removing a plant last year, said the city has already been busy this year eradicating the giant hogweed, getting a

jump on its spread this season. Lanny Englund, Coquitlam’s urban forestry manager, said his department spends about one to two weeks each year removing giant hogweed from the city and encourages anyone who wants to remove it from their own property to either hire a qualified landscaper or follow the removal guidelines and video posted on WorkSafeBC’s website, worksafebc. com. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

A message to Iran Swimming:

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

From the Tri-Cities to Tehran, one Port Moody man is trying to send a message to the government of Iran: Let my friends go. Ian MacKenzie began a 24-hour fast on Thursday as part of a “rolling hunger strike” by the family and friends of American hikers Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer protesting what they say is the illegal detainment of the two University of California Berkeley grads by Iranian authorities since July 2009. The men were hiking in Iraqi Kurdistan, in the country’s remote and mountainous north, with Bauer’s fiancee, Sarah Shourd, when they were taken hostage by an armed man who turned out to be an Iranian soldier, MacKenzie said. The three were held captive in Iran’s notorious Evin Prison, on the northern outskirts of Tehran, but Shourd was released last September, 14 months after being taken captive, due to health problems and the posting of $500,000 bail, according to MacKenzie. Prior to her captivity, Shourd and MacKenzie had established a friendship through writing about their travels for an online magazine MacKenzie had started called Brave New Traveler. Since then, Shourd, MacKenzie and the mothers of the two backpackers have organized the rolling hunger strikes to raise awareness about the detention and alleged physical abuse suffered by Bauer and Fattal for nearly two years. Their voices are part of a growing chorus. Former heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali, actor Sean Penn, antiapartheid activist Desmond Tutu and U.S. President Barack Obama have all called for the humane treatment and release of Bauer and Fattal, who are allegedly being held without charge or trial by the Iranian government under suspicion of being American spies. “Sarah, Shane and Josh have never

They are teachers, artists, and advocates for social and environmental justice.” On Thursday, MacKenzie planned to stay in a small, locked room in his Port Moody apartment “in a small attempt to recreate the space that both hikers have been confined to for almost two years,” he said. MacKenzie said that almost as disheartening as the detention and uncertain fate of the two imprisoned hikers has been some of the online reaction to their story from people telling him that the two young Americans had no business living and travelling in that part of the world. “What these hikers were doing was actually an incredible service to actually illuminate these places that we don’t get to see and then share their stories,” said MacKenzie, who has hiked through Southeast Asia and Colombia. “Then to have people back home say, ‘I told you so, you should have stayed home,’ is ludicrous. “My goal is to allow people this moment to not look away.” • For more information, visit freethehikers.org. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Q WHAT WE THINK:

ew lawn sprinkling regulations have been sprung on Metro Vancouver municipalities, creating a bit of a bureaucratic headache. The regional authority just recently changed its policy and now homeowners can water their lawns three days a week between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. There’s no more evening watering and that might offend some homeowners but they do get an extra day to sprinkle — the idea being that morning watering puts lets pressure on the system and there’s less evaporation. The problem is that the old rules need to be changed with individual bylaw amendments in each city and new information has to go out to property owners. Both will take time. Fortunately, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam are already making the change while Coquitlam seems to be taking its time. The result may be a bit of confusion. Fortunately, everyone has a year’s grace before the new rules will be enforced.

Silent night, powerful night of remembrance THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES Naomi Yorke

auseway Bay is a neighbourhood at the centre of Hong Kong Island and it is always alive with excitement. The apartment my mother and I share there is in the middle of it all. We are 25 floors up from the street and usually it is amazingly quiet, with the only sound emanating from the air conditioner and the dehumidifier. But on Friday night, when I arrived from Chicago, things were markedly different. Sitting more than two-dozen floors from the ground, it sounded like we were on top of an amusement park, with the sounds of humanity building into an incredible crescendo, much like the sound of a rollercoaster. I was exhausted from the 15-hour flight

(and in my usual fashion, I didn’t sleep a wink on the plane) but as many crosscontinental travellers know, the best way to beat jet lag is to force yourself to stay up at your destination until bed-time. I knew if I crashed early, my body clock would stay on North American time for days. And honestly, the cacophony of sound downstairs was begging for me to join the crush of humanity. My mom and I headed downstairs and brushed our way through the crowd with arms linked. This was not an ordinary night in Causeway Bay, no not at all. This was June 4 and the day marks the 22nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. On the streets, there were performance artists and protesters. Mom quickly purchased us matching t-shirts that read “Who’s Afraid of Ai Weiwei?” As I have stated before, I am a big fan of this contemporary Chinese artist, who has been detained in his homeland since April 3. Nowhere is the concern for Ai Weiwei’s health and welfare greater than here in

Hong Kong. There have been a number of protests and artists have made statements by projecting his image on government buildings and posting graffiti messages about his detention everywhere. Artists here have been detained for doing so but they will not be silenced. A rash of recent detentions of dissidents, artists and activists in China seems to have enlivened people here. Yes, Hong Kong is a Separate Administrative Region of China and has been since 1997, when it was handed back by the British, but the reality is that this city-state is vulnerable and, last Friday night, I witnessed an amazing statement by the population. Victoria Park (at the end of our block) holds major events all year long. On Friday night, the park was filled to capacity with candle-holding citizens who came out to remember the events of June 4, 1989. Tens of thousands of people came out to remember the hundreds (maybe thousands) of people who were killed in Beijing 22 years earlier

in an incredible candlelight vigil. As well as remembering Tiananmen Square, clearly people were there to show their concern with the detainment of individuals such as Ai Weiwei and Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel Prize Laureate who is serving an 11-year sentence in China. Yes, I was probably quieter than usual because of the jet lag but experiencing this display of solidarity and compassion in the park on Friday night was inspiring and left me speechless. The people of Hong Kong seem determined to make their collective voices heard on the streets. And the silence in the park, with thousands and thousands of candles punctuating the darkness, was one of the most powerful spectacles I have ever witnessed. Naomi Yorke is a Port Coquitlam student who lived in Shanghai, China for four years, writing about her experiences twice a month for The Tri-City News. She now lives in Chicago, where she’s attending art school, and continues her column.

FACE TO FACE: Should peacekeeping Canada be shopping for bomber jets?

Tools needed to make the peace I

n a perfect world, the Canadian Armed Forces would not exist, guns would magically be transformed into long-stemmed roses and fighter planes would become fluffy white doves. But because we are grounded in reality on this side of the page, we recognize that utopia will never be achieved and that a sovereign nation needs an army, an air force and, if it’s a coastal nation, a navy. Of course, my colleague over yonder isn’t really suggesting Canada should rid itself of its armed forces. He’s merely saying that our air force should be burdened with obsolete equipment, specifically its outdated fighter planes. He justifies this position on the grounds be believes Canada should concentrate its armed forces on peacekeeping missions. And anyway, spending billions of dollars on the Joint Strike Fighter, also known as the F-35, makes Canada too much like the United States (the Great Satan). There are multiple problems with his line of thinking. For starters, it’s abundantly clear there’s precious little peacekeeping to do anymore in this topsy-turvy world. On the other hand, as the recent deployment of NATO air power against Muammar

Qaddafi’s forces in Libya has shown, there’s plenty of important peacemaking to be done. You can keep the peace with well-trained, lightly armed, blue-helmeted peacekeepers. But you need real armed forces to makee the peace. It’s also important to note that many of our allies — including Britain, Australia, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey and Norway — will be flying the F-35s. Does my colleague really want to see Canada asking Turkey or Holland for air cover the next time we have to send our troops into a danger zone? Or maybe the F-35 opponents would prefer that Canada always assume the morally ambiguous, perpetually fence-sitting, pseudopacifist “honest broker” position that it adopted in the last half of the 20th century. But just as you don’t make bargains with the devil, no freedomloving, democratic country should put itself in a position of constant appeasement and apology. When you encounter an alleged genocidal murderer like Ratko Mladic, you arrest him and put him on trial. You don’t sit down over a cup of coffee and attempt to work out a compromise between him and Lady Justice.

That $30B can be better spent D

on’t send Defence Minister Peter MacKay shopping for you — it will cost you a bundle. And besides, Mr. MacKay is too busy shopping for stealth bombers (the cool ones with hovering capability, just like the Americans have). Well, he’s not exactly shopping. “Shopping” would imply that he’s looking around for a good deal. Unlike we Walmart shoppers, MacKay has committed us to buy 65 F-35 stealth bombers without knowing the actual price, without comparing prices offered elsewhere and without knowing if the plane works. MacKay says the F-35s will cost about $75 million each. U.S. Defence expert Winslow Wheeler says $75 million wouldn’t include options such as engines or guns. Wheeler says a more realistic price is $148 million per plane. (I wonder if that includes HST or if MacKay negotiated an under-the-table cash deal.) Bomber builders Boeing and Dassault have complained to Parliament that they weren’t allowed to bid to build the bombers. In the U.S., John McCain advocates scrapping the F-35 bomber program because of escalating costs and unproven performance.

So why is Canada buying 65 new stealth bombers? My starred-andstriped colleague and his frighteningly hawkish friends clearly want bombers so that we can bomb people. Oh, they’ll talk about protecting northern sovereignty and surveilling things, but that’s like saying you need five Lamborghinis to commute to work each week. Neo-cons are tired of being just well-respected, boring peacekeepers with a moral international perspective. Canada should be a Mini Me to the U.S., able to “contribute to western actions,” independent of the pesky United Nations. Instead of “shock and awe,” we might term Canadian bombings “concern and mild trepidation.” Canadians should not mistakenly think the acquisition of these expensive, unproven U.S. bombers is a part of the badly needed military upgrade most of us favour. It’s not. These bombers cost so much to buy and maintain ($30 billion over 30 years) that there will be no money left to support the things most Canadians actually want a modern Canadian military to do. Canada’s military needs to be equipped to meet Canada’s needs, not the GI Joe fantasies of right wingers on either side of the border.

We must live with bears Nelson points out the – not live in fear of them flaws of plans for HST The Editor, Re. “Bad idea then, bad idea now” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, June 3). I continue to be impressed with Face to Face columnist Jim Nelson’s intelligent and thoughtful response to issues facing our community — and in this case, our province. My first thought (and I listened to Kevin Falcon’s town hall meeting on the subject) was that perhaps the tax could be fixed, lowered, amended, adjusted and repaired so we could leave it in place. Mr. Nelson correctly points out that we are being bribed with our own money and that promises are already

Later, I observed the bear roaming around our yard and the animal looked quite young and rather emaciated. I believe the best value for our tax money for the Bear Aware program is to educate people not just about garbage (we don’t leave any outside).

We need education about how people can live with the bears but also attention to the animals themselves. A f t e r l iv i n g o n B u rke Mountain for more than 37 years, I say more needs to be done than just warnings about garbage and bears. Maggie Fankboner, Coquitlam

locates limited resources to simply registering pesticides, based on limited testing information provided by industry. This is a little like the fox guarding the henhouse. The huge number of formulations makes it impossible to test all products. Even if comprehensive testing were required, or methods existed, we rely on the pesticide companies to provide the data. Each of us carries man-made chemicals within our bodies in various concentrations in our bloodstream. We simply don’t know what the effects are or what illnesses they might be causing.

It’s incumbent upon all politicians — federal, provincial and municipal — to take responsibility to protect human health and safety of its citizens. Two provinces and 17 municipalities in B.C. believe this is important enough to ban the usage of cosmetic pesticides. Let’s get Coquitlam to be number 18.

Gov’t must act on pesticides The Editor, Some people believe banning cosmetic pesticides is an infringement by government on their property rights. But by using cosmetic pesticides, you are already infringing on other people’s property rights. Studies have shown that most of the lawn care products, including pesticides, leave your property through air dispersal and leaching. These products end up in our rivers, streams and drinking water as well as your neighbour’s property. Very little research has been done by the federal government on cosmetic pesticides and it al-

The Editor, I know it probably is not a popular view with the city of Coquitlam but I am of the belief that the dwellings increase on Burke Mountain, particularly in reference to the scraping of vegetation off all land to be developed, has significantly increased the wildlife load on the property not being developed. Add to this my recent sighting of two women from outside of our neighbourhood who were stripping huckleberries from bushes on road allowance and you have the prelude to what happened to us today. I left the back door of our house open, intending to go outside again but, meanwhile, I took a phone call. I looked up from my conversation to find that a young bear had its shoulders and head inside our house and had stopped, hesitating to proceed because I was not far from the animal. Both my husband and I shouted at the bear to leave and the animal removed itself from the house. But when my husband blew a warning blast of an

Money to remediate former PoMo industrial site By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A vacant lot on a seldom travelled stretch of road in Port Moody is one step closer to redevelopment as the B.C. gover nment put up more than $160,000 for its renewal last week. As part of Victoria’s n e a rly $ 1 - m i l l i o n Brownfield Renewal program, $160,950 will go towards environmental research and upgrades for the vacant lot, which for merly housed light-industrial businesses along Electronic Avenue between Spring Street and the CP Rail line. It’s one of 14 such brownfield re-developments announced last week for sites across the province. It’s all in preparation for a planned mixed-use commercial and residential development on Electronic Avenue, referred to as the Shoreline Station in a June 3 release from B.C.’s Ministry of Forests and Natural Resources.

‘We have to adapt’ continued from front page

“We have to morph what we do to deal with the harder core homeless population,” he said. “Strategies have to change... and that comes down to some mental health issues that we as a community and as a province are not doing a good enough job dealing with.” Recent numbers released from the Metro Vancouver homeless count, which showed a 47% reduction in the number of people sleeping on the street, have had an opposite effect, Thiessen said. With the reduction, many people have asked him whether resources for services and a permanent shelter are still necessary in the area. “Maybe we need a reduction in some of these services and ultimately we will come to a place where, as a community, we need to make some decisions about that,” he said. “But you really can’t make huge predictions because of a trend over a couple of years. We are going to need more time and more evidence of continued success.” In the Tri-Cities, a per manent homeless shelter that would offer mental health and other supports is planned for city of Coquitlam land at 3030 Gordon Ave. but there is as yet no provincial funding for the project. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

So-called brownfields are abandoned or under-used commercial and industrial properties suspected of being environmentally contaminated by past ac-

tivities on the sites. Port MoodyCoquitlam Liberal MLA Iain Black said in the press release that he was pleased the gover nment was taking

action to clean up the Electronic Avenue site, both for environmental and economic reasons. “By redeveloping this property, it will not only stop current illegal ac-

and has since funded 44 environmental investigations in 32 communities across B.C., according to the provincial government. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

tivities like dumping,” Black said, “it will also help revitalize our community.” The province’s Brownfield Renewal program began in 2007

COQ. CENTRE

Port Coquitlam firefighters are reminding residents to be careful with their barbecues and outdoor grills after poorly stored charcoal briquettes set fire to a porch at a PoCo home last weekend. The briquettes were stored under a natural gas barbecue when they caught fire. A neighbour noticed the flames and phoned PoCo Fire and Emergency Services; damage was contained to the rear porch and all of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents escaped unharmed. According to acting assistant chief Randy Minaker, the incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with outdoor grilling. In order to avoid accidents the department asks that residents: â&#x20AC;˘ never store combustible materials next to a barbecue; â&#x20AC;˘ make sure the barbecue has been shut off and is completely cool before covering and storing; â&#x20AC;˘ never leave the barbecue unattended when in use; â&#x20AC;˘ keep gas hoses away from hot surfaces and hot grease; â&#x20AC;˘ keep children and pets away from the gas valve and the grill; â&#x20AC;˘ keep loose clothing away from the hot barbecue; â&#x20AC;˘ donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put water on a grease fire (it will only cause the flames to flare) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; use an approved fire extinguisher instead;

Blue box recycling in for shake-up By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Big changes may be on the horizon for blue box recycling as we know it. The provincial government has given an industry group of producers and retailers 18 months to design a plan to collect all packaging and printed materials from consumers. T he new extended producer responsibility (EPR) initiative will bring recycling to cardboard/plastic packaging in stores, restaurant takeout containers, disposable cups and even typically discarded items like candy wrappers and cigarette packages by May of 2014. The move should go far to plug some remaining holes in B.C.’s recycling system while spurring businesses — which will bear the costs — to design their packaging with the environment in mind. But it also shifts responsibility for collecting newspapers, cans, bottles and everything else that now goes into municipal blue boxes onto product producers. That means a potential loss of control for cities used to running local recycling programs. Metro Vancouver officials say they hope something like blue box curbside pickup continues. “Most municipalities are really keen that there be a high level of service,” Metro integrated planning division man-

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

The province has given industry a year and a half to come up with a new system for recycling product packaging. ager Ken Carrusca said. “The fact it’s convenient and easy for residents means there’s a high participation rate.” But advocates say it’s conceivable the industry stewardship group might reject curbside pickup and force residents to instead take recyclables to depots instead. “That would be a disaster,” North Shore Recycling Society general manager A l l e n Ly n ch s a i d . “People would get really ticked off if that were to happen.” Elderly people and others without cars depend on curbside pickup, he said. A depot system is one option but less likely than

some continued form of curbside pickup, according to Recycling Council of B.C. executive director Brock Macdonald. “I think it will likely look like a blue box curbside pickup system,” he said. The industry group might even opt to contract with cities or their contractors to continue the existing services, he said. Union reps, however, fear a push by industry stewards for low-cost privatized collection will halt recycling pickup by civic workers in some cities.

Vancouver, Burnaby, N e w W e s t m i n s t e r, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam all have their own trucks and unionized staff handling garbage and blue box pickup. Since the new system applies to not just singlefamily residential but also multifamily buildings — where recycling rates are notoriously low — there’s potential for major reductions in the waste stream, particularly after Metro Vancouver cities implement full organics pickup by 2015. “It puts us on the way to really diverting from the landfill,” Macdonald said. “Once we have packaging and organics, we’ll get over 70% diversion for sure.” The producer group, which will include various retailers, grocers, the newspaper industry and others, will have three years to iron out details among themselves and with local cities, he said. “Everybody’s trying to understand what this transition will look like,” he said. “But there’s quite a bit of time to figure it out.” He doesn’t expect any deposit or eco fees that will be added to products to pay for the packaging take-back system, nor would there be any refund system to encourage returns as with beverage containers. Instead, he predicts

businesses will simply absorb the new recycling costs and reflect it in their local prices. Until now the cost of blue box recycling was shifted onto local government, Macdonald said. “Now it’s going to be industry and the consumer that funds that rather than local taxpayers.” Homeowners who now pay for recycling through a fee on their utility bills could see that amount go down, but some observers expect that money may increasingly fund pickup of organic food waste. The province plans meetings with stakeholders across B.C. starting in mid-June and continuing in the fall. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Coquitlam an urban first for show In an episode to be filmed June 13 to 15, Maillardville will be attempting to capture the attention of comedian Daniel Lemire by appealing to all his interests. The scenes are secret, explained Joanne Dumas, whose Société francophone de Maillardville convinced the show’s producers to shoot an episode here. But there will certainly be hockey flavour to the production because Lemire is a hockey fan and filming could take place during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Other events are planned to highlight Maillardville’s culture and history, including a cycling tour of the area led by Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson. Next Wednesday from 7:15 to 9 p.m., Lemire will be treated to a community barbecue on Laval Square in front of the historic Our Lady of Lourdes Church and the public is invited. Dumas is hoping for a large crowd and if the Stanley Cup goes to a seventh game, she hopes the city will loan the society a large television screen to keep hockey fans happy. (Dumas suggested people visit the group’s website www.maillardville.com or call 604-515-

7070 in case there are any scheduling changes.) La Petite Séduction is hosted by Dany Turcotte and is based on the Quebecois film Seducing Doctor Lewis, in which a tiny fishing village tries to lure a doctor to take up full-time residency. Dumas said the 2003 film was extremely popular and the TV show started shooting soon after, featuring mostly Quebecois villa g es, but later extending to

the Maritimes. In each episode, an artist visits a community and is treated to a variety of experiences, giving the audiences a glimpse of life in other places. This foray to the west cost — the show is also filming in Victoria — is new for the production and Dumas hopes Maillardville will put on a good show. “This is the first time they’ll be coming to a community that’s a

city, that’s an urban setting — it’s a big first,” Dumas said. The film crew will arrive in Maillardville on Monday to shoot a few scenes and Lemire is expected be feted on Tuesday and

ith summer weather finally here, it shouldn’t rain on either of this weekend’s parades. Nor should the weather hamper your enjoyment of any of the other arts and entertainment events on this weekend in the Tri-Cities.

TODAY: Friday, June 10 SRING CARNIVAL Alderson elementary school invites Tri-Cities families for a day of fun, games, food, prizes, face painting and a bouncy castle from 3 to 7 p.m. at its spring carnival (825 Gauthier St., Coquitlam). Tickets are $10 for a book of 20 at the door. For more information, call 604-939-8301.

MOVIE NIGHT Port Moody Film Society presents Arranged, a comedic drama about arranged marriages and a friendship between a Muslim and an Orthodox Jew in Brooklyn, at 7:30 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Dr., Port Moody). Tickets are available at the theatre box office after 6:45 p.m. for $5 plus a one-time $5 annual membership fee.

Saturday, June 11 FLASH TO CONQUER CANCER A not-so-secret flash mob to raise awareness for the Ride To Conquer Cancer is planned at 12:30 p.m. sharp on the lower level of Coquitlam Centre mall near Waves Coffee. Organized by Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson, the plan is to dance to Great Big Sea’s hit “Ordinary Day,” a song that Robinson says helped to get her through her own battle with cancer. The Ride To Conquer Cancer is a charity bike ride from Vancouver to Seattle taking place June 18 and 19 and involving more than 2,000 riders. For more information on the flash mob, call Selina at 604-729-0702.

CLASSICAL GLASS Learn the art of traditional glass etching with Rick Mercer at the Mackin House Museum (1116 Brunette Ave.,

Coquitlam). The workshop begins at 2:30 p.m. and space is limited to eight people, so call 604-516-6151 or email info@ coquitlamheritage.ca to register. Due to safety concerns, children under 16 cannot participate in this workshop.

WOODLAND WALK In celebration of Environment Week, Burke Mountain Naturalists are leading a free and open 9 km hike along the Woodland Walk Trail in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, setting off from the trailhead at the end of Harper Road off Coast Meridian Road at 8 a.m. The hike will cover an elevation gain of 300 m to a lookout offering views of the protected forests of the Coquitlam watershed. Hikers can expect to return to the trailhead by 2 p.m. at the latest. Registration is not required but participants are required to sign a waiver. This easy-to-moderate trail is not suitable for young children due to a few boulder-hopping creek crossings. Participants should wear hiking boots, bring a lunch and water and have appropriate clothing for the weather. For more information, call 604-939-4039.

reportedly coined by author Richard Louv, this workshop challenges people to escape “urbanity” and reconnect with nature to stimulate the creative mind. The workshop will include an introduction to the community-run hatchery, a lesson in local ecology, hands-on activities and free time to explore one’s own creative space. A minimum donation of $15 is requested but no one will be turned away. Note: Mossom Creek Hatchery is a scent-free environment, so participants are asked to wear no fragrances or perfumes. To reserve a spot, email jp@jpeachygallery.com.

CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tong Guan, Christian Arias-Carrasco, Brad Deans and Brittany Howey are in Gleneagle secondary’s Graphic Arts 11/12 class that created a public art project at the Coquitlam school, called We Are YOUth. Guan, 18, a Grade 12 student, devised the project with Arias-Carrasco as photographer after seeing a YouTube video of the French street artist J.R. In less than three weeks and with a budget of $500, the class organized and photographed 120 students over the age of 16 and glued the black-and-white images on large foam boards, using acrylic to protect the photos. They will hang on the school’s west and north fences over the summer. “We want to show people that youth are just like everybody else,” Guan said. “Teens are shy, happy, sad, energetic... and we wanted to have a positive spin on youth, not continue the stereotypes that people think we are.”

Take a hike tomorrow Tomorrow (Saturday), to celebrate Environment Week, the Burke Mountain Naturalists will lead a public hike on the Woodland Walk Trail in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. The hike will cover 9 km with an elevation gain of 300 m to a lookout that provides views of the protected forests of the Coquitlam watershed. The hike leaders will meet the public at the trailhead at the end of Harper Road off Coast Meridian in northeast Coquitlam for an 8 a.m. departure. All participants will be required to sign a waiver but registration is not

required. Hikers can expect to return to the trailhead by 2 p.m. at the latest. For many years, a washed-out culvert has impeded access along this otherwise easy to moderate trail. For this hike, the Burke Mountain Naturalists will install ropes to facilitate a creek crossing, which requires a few hops across boulders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the trail is not suitable for young children. Pinecone Burke Park was declared a new provincial park as part of the Environment Week celebrations in 1995. The Woodland Walk trail follows, in part, an old logging road

to Pritchett Creek through mature second-growth forest. Along the trail, hikers will be able to view occasional stumps of the giant red cedars that once grew here and, possibly, hear the booming of sooty grouse. A majestic old growth Douglas fir marks the end of the trail at the Pritchett Creek waterfall. Participants should wear hiking boots, bring lunch and water, and have appropriate clothing for the weather. For more information, phone 604-939-4039.

BOOKS PLUS: What’s happening in local libraries

Living Library & club for teens Books Plus runs in The Tri-City News each Friday to highlight programs and happenings in the TriCities’ three libraries: Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

COQUITLAM

• Living Library, Saturday, June 18, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Poirier branch: It is said that in order to understand another person, you must walk a mile in their shoes. The Living Library is your opportunity to have a 20-minute, one-on-one talk with someone who has had different life experiences than your own. Break free from stereotypes and misconceptions or just chat with interesting people and learn about their lives. This Living Library session will focus on immigrant experiences and will feature people who have emigrated from around the world, including some who spent time in refugee

camps. No registration is required for this free program — just drop in. • Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness, Wednesday, June 22, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Poirier branch: Maureen Cassia from the city of Coquitlam Community Emergency Program will discuss emergency preparedness issues, including what to do during an earthquake, how to assemble emergency supplies, as well as hazards inside and outside your home. Registration is required, as seats are limited. This program is in English, with Korean translation. To register, call 604-468-6000 or email stella.kim@success.bc.ca. For more information about any of these programs, visit www.library. coquitlam.bc.ca. The City Centre branch is located at 3000 Burlington Dr. and the Poirier branch at 575 Poirier St.

TERRY FOX • Stories and rhymes, for little ones: You can discover the pleasure of

reading with your baby. Reading aloud to infants stimulates the growth of a baby’s brain and creates important early language experiences. Furthermore, parents play a vital role in their child’s development when they read and play with their babies. You can sing songs and nursery rhymes to your baby, and bring songs and rhymes to life by clapping your hands or rocking with your baby. Choose a time when baby is alert and happy; stop when baby grows tired. When your baby is able to grasp things offer sturdy board books. These books have stiff pages that can be easily turned. Library staff can help you find a selection of the best rhymes, songs and stories to use in play with new babies. For more information, visit www.fvrl.bc.ca or the Terry Fox Library Facebook page. Terry Fox Library is located 2470 Mary Hill Rd. in PoCo. Phone 604-9277999.

Bags of ice (and advice) are the tools for Irvine’s young helpers dispense school yard justice. But they don’t advise a survival-ofthe-fittest code of ethics. Instead, these students take a moment to listen to all sides of the story and ask what would make things better. Often, a simple “I’m sorry” is all that’s needed to re-glue the bond of friendship. Sometimes, a bag of ice is required or a scrape and a tear have to be wiped away. “It kind of makes you happy that you’re solving someone’s problems,” says Lindsay Spence, one of about 20 Irvine students who have signed up to be Kid Advisors this year. Spence, along with her friends Noah Gray and Sawyer Page, say they don’t mind giving up one recess and lunch a week to help out the younger students. “We have most of the rest of the

Older kids at PoCo school give up some free time to help younger students By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A group of Irvine elementary school students has made the school a little safer with a kind word, a dose of common sense and the occasional bag of ice. They are Kid Advisors and the primary students look up to them like the big kids they are. On sunny days, these Grade 5 students put on yellow vests and head outside at lunch and recess to lend a hand to their younger peers and occasionally

week to play,” notes Gray. School counsellor Deb Taylor, who helped set up the program several years ago, said the idea is to encourage students to resolve their small disputes (when problems get big or involve a medical emergency, the Kid Advisors seek out an adult). Most of the time, however, the Kid Advisors are up to the job and the primary kids think the playground is safer and calmer space because of their efforts, Taylor said. Sometimes, it’s so calm, its boring: “Then I tell them, if you’re bored that’s a good thing,” she says. Last week, the Kid Advisors were recognized with a special certificate of recognition at a school assembly. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Summer Camps 2011 Health and Safety Tips for Summer Camp Help your kids learn simple tips to stay safe and healthy at camp Get your kids vaccinated

Be sure your kids' vaccinations are up-to-date. Ask their doctor or nurse what vaccines are recommended for summer camp.

Encourage safe physical activities

Children should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity on most days of the week. To help prevent injury, pack protective gear, such as helmets and life jackets, if the camp will not be providing them. Tell your kids not to swim if they are alone or if they have diarrhea.

Teach your kids to stay hydrated

Explain to your kids that the human body needs Ă uids on a regular basis. They shouldn't wait until they feel thirsty to drink water. Encourage your kids to drink plenty of noncarbonated, sugar-free Ă uids throughout the day. Teach your kids to avoid wild animals. Teach kids that animals can carry diseases that are dangerous to people. Encourage them to enjoy watching them from a safe distance in their natural surroundings.

Pack protection

Be sure your kids have plenty of insect repellent and sunscreen to wear to protect themselves from mosquitoes, ticks, and the sun. Pack layers of light-weight, light-colored clothes for hot days and blankets and warm clothes for cool nights.

Be proactive

Find out how you will be notiĂ&#x20AC;ed if your child becomes ill and what the procedures are for caring for your child, if indicated. Teach your kids to cover their nose and mouth with a tissue when they cough or sneeze and to throw the tissue in the trash after using it; to wash

their hands often with soap and water (or alcohol-based hand cleaners), especially after they cough or sneeze; and to avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth.

Cass beer for the masses By Larry Pruner

IN QUOTES

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

S i m i l a r t o s t o re bought milk, eggs and bread, Korean-brewed Cass beer carries an expiration date on its packaging label. And t h at ’s why C o B e e s Enterprise Ltd. owner James Hwang of Port Moody believes his suds are sure to live a long life on the taste buds of its consumers once they sip it. “Ninety per cent of bottled beer in the liquor stores is lager beer with no expiration date,” said Hwang, adding that Cass is brewed via 100 per cent non-heat treatment (unpasteurized). “Unlike most wines and some spirits, beer does not get better with age. Just like fruits and vegetables, good beer has a limited shelf life. Once that optimum shelf life is exceeded, beer can take on an unpleasant, skunky aftertaste. [Cass] is fresh, crisp and clean

“Not only Koreans in Canada will be happy to see it on the shelves.” James Hwang and has only a one-year shelf life.” Cass is brewed and bottled by Oriental Brewery (OB) Ltd., a South Korean company that was established in 1952 by the Doosan Group. It was purchased by AB-InBev in 1998 and, last March, Hwang saw a void in the B.C. market for what he says has become Korea’s No. 1 brand of brew. His CoBees Enterprise Ltd. company is importing Cass out of Korea and is now selling it in liquor stores and Korean restaurants in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, with plans of expanding as

far east in Canada to Ontario as early as next month. After working as an executive in Korea for a major international b r e w i n g c o m p a n y, Hwang was pleased to see the variety of beers available in Canada when he moved his family to PoMo seven years ago. Despite the expansive selection, however, he failed to find a suitable substitute for his favourite brand, Cass, from his native Korea. “I wanted a better beer that I can see how fresh it is by the label on the bottle, and one that I know is naturally fresh without the use of preservatives,” Hwang said. “Cass beer is currently the top-selling beer in Korea but not only Koreans in Canada will be happy to see [it] on the shelves, I think all Canadians looking for a good quality, crisptasting beer will also really enjoy it.” Hwang points out the regulatory process

for importing beer to Canada is no simple and easily affordable task, but feels confident the quality and reputation of Cass will make it well-received on the Canadian market. He added about 200 bottles of Cass are being sold daily through his company, and that number is growing. He has 70 accounts with Korean restaurants and bars in the greater Vancouver area and believes the 80-20 ratio of Korean Cass drinkers to Canadians will eventually begin to grow closer together, with B.C. beer drinkers opting more and more for Cass over time. “That’s one thing many people from a r o u n d t h e w o rl d share,” Hwang said.

“We all like good beer.” Best yet, Hwang believes, is one with an expiration date on its label. • Cass beer is 4.5 per cent alcohol by volume and is available in the BC Liquor Stores at a cost of $10.69 for six 330 ml bottles and $3.58 for one 640 ml bottle. For more information about Cass beer, call 604-4614619 or email cobeesca@ hotmail.com. A website written almost entirely in Korean can be found at www.cass.co.kr. CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

James Hwang of Port Moody thinks Cass beer, popular in Korea, will appeal to British Columbian beer drinkers, too. It contains no preservatives, Hwang says, which is a bonus for people who like their beer clean and fresh.

The company, which first announced it will be opening in the country in January, plans to open 100 stores in Zellers stores in all ten provinces beginning in early 2013. However, the news hasn’t trickled down locally as yet. Coquitlam Centre general manager Franca Aere said Thursday she hadn’t received official word, but admitted she suspected Coquitlam would be chosen because it’s a central location. Each Target store in Canada is expected to employ 150 to 200 team members.

Nowell’s new business venture is much younger — she acquired the Tri-Cities-Maple Ridge momcafé network franchise this year and has held three events so far. The plan is to organize one networking event every six weeks featuring successful business women who will talk about specific areas of their business. Upcoming presenters include two women who shucked their corporate businesses for pre-retirement lifestyles in Costa Rica and the Cook Islands and three women whose ventures were aired on CBC’s Dragon’s Den. Since she formed the local branch of momcafé (www.momcafénetwork.com), 45 local professional moms, corporate working moms and entrepreneurial moms have joined up, Nowell said. Many are attracted to the events which are timed to fit into a mother’s busy lifestyle, Nowell said, but talk is all business — “We talk Twitter more than diapers” she says, and child minding is available upon

CREA updates housing forecast. Strong activity in British Columbia in ﬁrst quarter. The Canadian Real Estate Association has revised its predictions for 2011 and 2012 home sales activity. National home sales activity is now expected to reach 441,100 units this year, a slight decline of 1.3 per cent from 2010. However, this is revised from an earlier forecast of 1.6 per cent. This is due to stronger-than-anticipated activity in British Columbia in the first four months of the year. In 2012, the CREA predicts that national sales activity will rebound by 2.6 per cent, to 452,500 units. This is in line with the 10-year average for annual activity. “Home buyers expect mortgage interest rates to rise and are mindful of their current and future debt levels,” says CREA President Gary Morse. “They’re doing their homework

to better understand how their mortgage payments and family budget might change down the road before they make an offer.” However, Morse says that though mortgage rates have increased recently, they are still keeping financing within reach for many prospective homeowners. “Some housing markets are hotter than others, so buyers and sellers would do well to consult their local Realtor to understand how supply, demand and prices are evolving in their housing market,” he says. One such hot housing market is Greater Vancouver, where multi-million-dollar property sales have surged. These sales have skewed average sales prices for B.C. and nationally, which has prompted the average price forecast to be revised higher.

‘Designed for real people’

The Station a perfect stopping place by Kerry Vital

Buyers looking for the perfect place to stop will find a home at Aragon Properties’ The Station that is just a bit different than any other residence available right now. “These are homes designed for real people,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. “We want to build homes that are pleasing to the people who live there.” The Station is built for buyers of all ages, but Wan says that Aragon is looking to attract first-time buyers. “They’ve reached their new station in life as homeowners, hence our tagline: ‘You Have Arrived,’” says Wan. Aragon is proud of their reputation for building homes that people buy in order to live in, instead of the speculative buying that drives up demand and prices in other parts of the Lower Mainland. “Port Moody is not a hot market (like Vancouver is),” Wan says. “The buyers here are people who genuinely plan to live there.” With amenities such as schools and shopping less than a block away, The Station is perfect for people in all stages of life, and buyers will appreciate the perks that come with a smaller community. “Port Moody has one of the lowest crime rates (in the Lower Mainland),” says Wan. This has made the area attractive to buyers planning for the future. “People want to be part of a community,” says Wan. “They want their kids to feel safe.” About a quarter of the 106 units have already been sold, and buyers should be able to move in at the end of 2012. Homeowners looking for a lot of natural light will be quite at home at The Station, as the outside will feature plenty of glass, accented with brick. Many homes will have a view of the mountains, making for a beautiful view whether you’re a morning person or do your best thinking after dark. The development is a mix of twostorey townhomes and apartments featuring one or two bedrooms. The ground floor will include retail space, putting residents in the right place at the right time for a bit of shopping. Inside, buyers can choose between two different interior colour schemes, Air or Earth. White oak engineered

‘‘

They’ve reached their new station in life as homeowners, hence our tagline ‘You Have Arrived,’” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with luxurious carpet in the bedrooms. Every floorplan features an open-plan layout in the kitchen, dining and living areas, making it easy to keep an eye on your family or have a conversation while preparing a meal. Floorplans range from 600 to 1,100 square feet.

The kitchen, perfect for preparing your latest gourmet delicacy, features a modern tile backsplash and a stainless-steel single-basin undermount sink with a Kohler polished chrome pull-down faucet, ready for washing vegetables or filling that pasta pot. No detail has been overlooked, making The Station a great place for entertaining or a solitary night at home. Bathrooms are smooth and modern, featuring cool ceramic floor tiles and a sleek undermount Kohler sink. Both the kitchen and bathrooms include polished-quartz countertops, and flat-panel square-edged oak cabinetry, contributing to a contemporary and harmonious feel to the entire home. The Station is just a block from the Westcoast Express train station and a proposed Evergreen Line SkyTrain station, making it a great place to live for people commuting to and from downtown Vancouver. “At the end of the day when you’re tired, you’re just one stop from home (on the Westcoast Express),” says Wan. As the director of sales and

marketing, Wan deals with anyone looking to purchase an Aragon home. “The best part (about buying at The Station),” Wan laughs, “is that people get to talk to me!” Homes at the Station start at $250,900. For more information, visit www.thestationliving.ca or call 604917-0112.

The Station, by Aragon Properties, promises to be a fantastic stopping point for homebuyers of all ages and in all stages of life. The exterior is a mix of glass and brick to enhance natural light, above, and the inside is built in an open-plan style for maximum space, top.

THE GOLDEN YEARS

SENIORS CALENDAR

Seniors who are seeing multiple doctors are at increased risk of medication problems so their loved ones should try to ensure older adults have one doctor overseeing all of their medications. As well, they should look for an independent pharmacy or a specialist in geriatrics, geriatric pharmacotherapy and the unique medication-related needs of the geriatric population. Home Instead Senior Care has put together the following list of questions that seniors and family caregivers should ask a doctor about their prescriptions: • What is the name of this medication and why do I need it? • What is this medication supposed to do? • What is the correct dosage? • How does this drug interact with other medications I am taking? see WATCH FOR, page 47

AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS BACHELOR SUITES AVAILABLE Affordable bachelor and one bedroom suites available for rent in a senior-oriented building. Conveniently located in Burnaby near transportation, shopping, medical services and community centre. Subsidized rent includes heat, light and cablevision.

Watch for the warning signs continued from page 46

• How do I take it — with or without food? • When do I take it — morning or evening? • What are benefits and risks of the medication? • What are the side effects of the medicine and what do I do if they occur? • What food, drinks, other medicines or activities should I avoid while taking the medicine? • How often must the doctor check the medicine’s effects? (For example, checking your blood pressure if you are taking a medicine to lower it, or having a laboratory test done to make sure the levels of medicine in your blood are not too high or too low.) • Do I need a refill and how do I get one? • Is there written information I can take home about the medication? (Most pharmacies have information sheets on your prescription medicines.)

you should watch for changes in behaviour,” said Pronica Janikowski, professional development coordinator of the Canadian Society of Consultant Pharmacists. Medication-related problems can cause, aggravate or contribute to common and costly geriatric problems including confusion, depression, dizziness, falls, incontinence, insomnia, loss of coordination, memory loss and psychiatric problems.

Check out debt offers before you pay: BBB and debt pooler licenses. If a company is not licensed, consumers have little recourse if something goes wrong. To find out if a company is licensed or requires licensing, contact Consumer Protection BC at 1-888-564-9963 or www.consumerprotectionbc.ca. • How does the company get paid and does it still get paid if it is unsuccessful at negotiating a debt settlement for you? If a company insists on payment before reviewing your finances, you may not be receiving the best advice on dealing with your debt. Keep in mind that debt negotiating companies cannot guarantee creditors will accept their proposal to settle your debt for less than half of what you owe. If they are unsuccessful at negotiating on your behalf, find out if they will give you your money back. • Does the company make claims about the percentage of their clients that successfully settle their debts with creditors? An ethical business will not make claims that cannot be substantiated. Privacy laws and confidentiality agreements will prevent a business from disclosing information about previous customers. If a company makes claims about the number of clients it has successfully helped negotiate their debt, challenge the company to provide proof to validate their claims. • Is the company making guarantees that creditors will work with them in accepting a settlement? While some companies may claim numerous success stories and assure you that creditors will work with them, there is no guarantee. If you are maintaining your payments, have a regular income or assets like real estate, your creditors may not accept a proposal to settle your debt. A good debt settlement company will tell you as much, and help you to evaluate all options to resolve your financial difficulties.

STAYING SAFE ON THE TRAIL All of the Tri-Cities is bear country, especially this time of year, so if you’re visiting local trails, • have a buddy with you • make some noise to let the bear know you’re coming • leash up your dogs and keep your children close If you do encounter a bear, stay calm. Stop and back up slowly.

Never approach a bear.

A recent TransUnion study suggests that Canadian debt loads continue to grow, finding that total debt per consumer, excluding mortgages, grew to $25,597 in the first quarter of 2011. Similarly, a report issued TorontoDominion Bank recently found that while Canadians household debt is more in line with income, overall debt loads remain high. With so many Canadians struggling to keep their credit in check, many are turning to debt settlement services for help — without taking the necessary steps to check out the company they’re dealing with first, according to a Better Business Bureau press release. As the demand grows for debt assistance numerous companies identifying themselves as debt settlement experts or credit counsellors have been marketing their services in the Lower Mainland, prompting hundreds of inquiries to BBB. One company advertising its services locally is Cambridge Life Solutions Inc., which began operating in Vancouver this past December and has already generated more than 1,500 inquiries from consumers — more than 700 in May alone. It has since opened another office in Toronto. Before agreeing to allow a third-party to negotiate your debt with creditors, BBB reminds consumers ask the following questions to ensure that they’re dealing with the right company and getting the best guidance: • What is the company’s performance in the marketplace? Always check out the company with the BBB first to find out if this is a business you can trust. • Is the company licensed and regulated by a government body in B.C.? In British Columbia, Consumer Protection BC licenses and regulates debt settlement organizations by issuing debt collection

Home ShowcR REVIEW EVIEW

Cool as a cucumber – and delicious, too IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

an you imagine a salad without cucumbers? Don’t you love a cool crisp cucumber sandwich on a hot day, or fresh cucumbers in vinegar? And what would a grilled cheese sandwich or hamburger be without pickles? Well, cucumbers are just about the most popular vegetable in the home garden (remember: tomatoes are fruits). Cucumbers have been around for awhile too. They have been cultivated both in India and China for about 3,000 years. Columbus is generally given credit for introducing them to North America. Thank you Christopher! Now, of course, there is some dispute as to whether he actually made it here, but we are, nonetheless, fortunate to have these wonderful vegetables, and now is the time they should be planted. I know this because all the folks who did not listen to me earlier are now coming in to garden shops to replace their first and second crops which have already died of cold and disease. Cucumbers are warm weather plants and should only be set out when the weather warms up and stays warm. Cold, wet ground is no place for cucumbers, and that’s why now is a great time to plant.

For best results, they should be planted in hills or raised beds with excellent drainage. I always dig plenty of manure down deep, about twelve inches below the ground, to give those roots some place to go that is damp and rich in humus when the weather gets hot. Bitter-free cucumbers can only be grown if the plants have access to moisture, especially during the fruit-bearing cycle. If you seed cucumbers, they seem to take off very quickly once the weather warms up, but transplants need a little more care. Greenhouse grown transplants need at least four to five days of acclimatization before they can be set out in the ground, and even then they need some protection from the elements. Incidentally, be very careful not to disturb the rootball of young plants because the roots are extremely tender, and the plants will suffer a severe set back if the roots are damaged. There are many fine cucumber varieties available today which display good disease tolerance. But to be on the safe side, keep that cucumber patch moving to a different location in your garden each year. Wet spells in the summer, or watering too frequently overhead often cause ‘alternaria leaf spot’ or mildew. As with any disease prevention program, healthy, well-fertilized plants are less susceptible to these problems, but keeping that foliage dry is really important. Copper is an effective fungicide for controlling this

problem, but you must act quickly if the disease appears. Now, as to varieties, the list seems to grow each year. Many experienced gardeners like the old-fashioned ‘National Pickling’ and ‘Straight 8’ varieties. If you have been having success with these older strains, then stay with them, but there is a wealth of newer varieties on the market and each has its own unique characteristics. When it comes to slicing cucumbers, it is burpless all the way! If you like the long English types, but don’t have a greenhouse handy to keep out those pesky bees who want to pollinate the self-pollinating varieties, then try either the ‘Japanese Burpless’ or the shorter and sweeter yet American burpless, ‘Sweet Slice’. The great feature of burpless cucumbers is the fact that you can eat the skin without fear of an upset tummy, and every fruit is bitter free. Instead of growing these varieties on the ground, take some garden trellis and make

an “A-Frame” shape so the plants can grow up one side and down the other. It makes a delightful garden feature, and it is one sure way to keep the slugs away from your cucumbers. If you have limited space, you can grow ‘Fanfare’ in containers, but be sure to use at least a fourteen inch tub and mix plenty of sterilized compost in with the potting soil before you plant. I have yet to find a bitter cucumber from these varieties. If you would really like something different, try ‘Lemon Cucumbers’ which grow the size, shape and colour of lemons, but still taste like crispy, juicy cucumbers. Cucumbers are fun, fast and easy to grow as long as we get a little co-operation from the weather. Remember: use raised beds and black plastic or trellis frames, try some of the new varieties and keep the roots moist during the hottest part of summer. Once planted, you will be enjoying that first cucumber sandwich in about 40 to 50 days.

Pheby Yeung makes waves in the girls Div. 6 200-metre individual medley during Saturday’s Coquitlam Sharks A/B regional swim meet at Coquitlam Aquatic Centre. The Sharks Aquatic Club is a finalist in the Keg Steakhouse’s 40th anniversary Thanks a Million grant program. The Keg is offering 40 grants worth $25,000 each to organizations in areas that house a Keg Restaurant. The Sharks are finalists in the Vancouver out-lying area, one of the 40 such territories being considered throughout Canada and the U.S. The Sharks club was short-listed based on its initial application. Eight finalists were chosen from the area, which includes Surrey, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Abbotsford, Langley, Richmond and the Tri-Cities. The finalists’ applications were then posted on the Keg’s website. A one-month online voting process, that ends after this week, will determine the ultimate winner for the area. Visit www.thekegthanksamillion.com to cast your vote for the Sharks’ application. Should the Sharks win, the money from the grant would be used to buy pool equipment for the club’s swimming, water polo, diving and synchronized swimming factions.

The BMX BC Cup was held in Abbotsford last Sunday, featuring a new world-class track. S p e a k i n g o f wo rl d cl a s s, Coquitlam’s Tory Nyhaug competed. The Olympic-sized Supercross track was funded in part by the not-forprofit athletes charity B2ten ($110,000) and the city of Abbotsford. It’s one of three in North America, and the only one in Canada now similar in size and structure to the track used during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Last weekend’s event included the Men’s Elite Union Cycliste Internationale Class 4 and 5 events. In the Class 5 category, the 19-year-

Nyhaug raced to first place. Nyhaug has established a big name for himself in BMX racing, finishing fourth in the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in the Netherlands on May 28. He now sits sixth in UCI world rankings. “He’s our local star, we’re really proud of him,” said Steve Baxter, president of Abbotsford BMX. James Brown, 22, from Alberta, finished fourth, while Ryan Wright, 20, from Ontario, rounded out the Canadians in the top six.

There was also a full amateur field for the BMX BC Cup Series, which continues July 16-17 in Ridge Meadows. Full results will be posted at www.cyclingbc.net.

They met in last years’s Minto Cup national tournament and they met again April 26 in the 2011 B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league’s regular season opener at Queen’s Park Arena. And they met yet again Wednesday and, again, the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs buried the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies. The defending-champion Jr. A’s raced to a 5-1 first-period lead and hung on for a 10-8 triumph over the Jr. ’Bellies, whom they ousted in last years’s four-team Minto Cup tournament and handled 9-4 to kick off this season, to boot. The win at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex boosted the Jr. A’s to a perfect 11-0, ahead of the 8-3 Victoria Jr. Shamrocks and the now 7-4 Jr. ’Bellies.

Wesley Berg was a one-man wrecking crew for the Jr. A’s, whipping home four goals and added two assists. Other Coquitlam marksmen were Tor Reinholdt, Ryan Johnson, Brandon Bertoia, Travis Cor nwall, Tyler Garrison and Matthew Dinsdale, who also contributed four assists. Reinholdt and Johnson also dished out three helpers apiece. New West made a game of it in the second period, when they out-scored the Jr. A’s 5-3 to go into the third trailing 8-6. There, the two teams played to a 2-2 deadlock to give Coquitlam the two-goal margin of victory. Steve Fryer blocked 33 saves to scoop the win in the Jr. A’s cage. RAG LINE: The 4-6 Langley Jr. Thunder visit the 1-10 Port Coquitlam Saints tonight (Friday) at PoCo Rec Centre, 8 p.m.

THE REPORT

JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

BASK

One of the things I like about writing sport fishing columns is addressing controversial stuff. One of these subjects is the use of attractants (or fish luring scents). There is no doubt that attractants work, and work well. Field tests across the board, by many of the popular manufacturers, have proved that treated lures (flies included) out-fish untreated lures by a ratio of four to one. The reason is that fish have a keen sense of smell, which is three-and-a half times greater than that of a dog. Scientific studies have shown this sense is accurate in detecting amino acids diluted up to one part per ten million. The controversy comes into play when the questions are asked: Which scents work, and

Lure scents good or bad?

which hat scents don’t work? Is it ethical to use scents? Aside from the controversial debate, there is another factor that needs to be considered; repellants. If certain scents attract, others must then repel. It has been said that petroleum-base materials repel fish, yet the late Charley White maintained that bilge water is one of the best salmon attractors. Citrus is undisputedly one of the worst, as is Deet. L-Serine, an amino acid that can be emitted through human skin, is another offender but can be eliminated simply by hand washing.
