How many storeys is too many? CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Elsley and Yetty Foulds have been a key part of efforts in Coquitlam to recognize war veterans’ contributions. This weekend, a section of Porter Street (between King Albert and Winslow avenues) that leads to the Coquitlam cenotaph will be named Veterans Way. For more, see article on page A13.
Pesticide ban closer in city of Coquitlam
Keep your garbage secure in Moody By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody is urging residents to keep their bear-resistant bins tethered, stored in a shed or in a garage until the morning of collection day after several of the sturdy containers were destroyed by hungry bruins. Last week, three bins were returned to the city after they were damaged by bears that pried them open to retrieve their contents, The bears are sniffing out the garbage and dragging the bins into the bushes or a nearby ravine, where they jump on them to get them open. In all, 26 damaged bins have been returned since they were introduced to the city two years ago. see GARBAGE BINS BINS,, page A16

One more committee stop before regs go before council By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Hungry bears are dragging locked trash bins into the woods to open them in Port Moody.
An advisory group looking at whether Coquitlam should join a long list of B.C. municipalities that have banned the sale and use of pesticides is recommending the city follow suit. Last week, members of the Sustainability and Environmental Advisory Committee voted in favour of the city drafting a pesticide use control bylaw that would prohibit
gardening chemicals from being used on outdoor trees, shrubs, flowers, other ornamental plants or turf on private and public lands. But the recommendation, which is expected to be debated at Monday’s engineering committee meeting and will likely be forwarded to the July 4 council meeting, doesn’t apply to pesticides under the BC Integrated Pest Management Act such as animal repellents, deodorizers and domestic insect repellents. That act also allows pesticides to be used if a person or animal’s health is in jeopardy, or if public safety or the environment are threatened. see EDUCATION ONE KEY, KEY, page A4

How do you feel about, say, 20 storeys? Beedie to hold public meeting Monday on plans for highrise at Austin and Blue Mountain Articles by Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A development company that’s planning to build the first highrise in a Coquitlam neighbourhood poised for revitalization is now gauging public feedback on the height of the proposed tower. Monday’s open house at Winslow Centre is being held after a number of Austin Heights residents last month attended a public hearing and told Coquitlam city council they were opposed to the 24-storey building and/ or unaware towers of that size would be part of the core redevelopment. City council deferred the bid by Beedie Living to see if the company could present a revised form that addressed the neighbours’ concerns, primarily about height and traffic. The Beedie tower proposed for 955 Austin Ave., on the former Shell gas station site, would have 167 units and 210 parking spaces. In April, Beedie held an open house at the Vancouver Golf Club that drew 140 people; of the 78 who completed a comment form, 67% supported the tower plan, according to a consultant’s report. On Wednesday, Houtan Rafii, vice-president of Beedie’s residential development, said his company has worked with city staff since the public hearing and wants to work further with the Austin Heights community to figure out how tall the tower could be. Rafii said Beedie Living would lose money on the landmark project if the number of units is reduced. “It won’t be 10 storeys,” he said, “but we would consider something in the 19- to 20-storey range.” Because of the postal dispute, Beedie has hired a private mail delivery service to send letters to more than 5,000 area homes about Monday’s meeting. Letters will also be dropped at the front of apartment blocks

The illustration (right) shows the southwest view of the 24-storey tower proposed for 955 Austin Ave. — the first highrise planned for the revitalized Austin Heights neighbourhood. There will be a public open house on the project on Monday at Winslow Centre in Coquitlam. as carriers can’t usually gain access to the complexes, Rafii said. As well, the company has taken out advertisements in local newspapers, informed Austin Avenue businesses and posted signs at the corner of Austin Avenue and Blue Mountain to get the word out. Under the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan, which council adopted in April, the city plans the densify the area with 5,000 more residents in 2,500 more homes between Blue Mountain and Linton streets and Foster and Rochester avenues; a total of 15 sites are proposed to have towers of more than 15 storeys — including 955 Austin Ave. Should Beedie present a revised application, it would prompt another public hearing, Mayor Richard Stewart said last month. • Beedie Living’s open house is on Monday, June 27 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Winslow Centre, 1100 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Whatever the choice, thousands of residents Residents & city ponder plans for the biggest neighbourhood slated for Burke Mountain
CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Participants at Tuesday’s open house for the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan reviewed display boards with city staff.
More than 100 people turned up this week to review the plans for the next — and biggest — neighbourhood to be built in northeast Coquitlam. Tuesday’s open house on the draft Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan saw participants pouring over display boards and speaking with city planning and engineering staff about future growth in the area that, when built out over the next 20 to 25 years, will accommodate up to 15,000 residents. (In all, up to 24,000 people are expected to call Burke Mountain home.) Under the city’s plans, the neighbourhood would also have the village core for Burke Mountain; 200,000 square feet of commercial space; three elementary schools; a middle school; parks; and, possibly, a city cemetery. Partington Creek is the fourth neighbourhood plan for Burke Mountain. Previously,
city council adopted plans for Upper Hyde Creek, Lower Hyde Creek and Smiling Creek. And once Partington Creek is passed, the city plans to start work on the fifth Burke neighbourhood: Hazel Drive. Of Partington Creek’s 595 acres, the city owns about 130 acres (or 22%) and most of the development lands in the 66-acre village. And at Tuesday’s open house at Leigh elementary school, participants were asked how they would like to see the village built — a similar exercise held in Austin Heights residents for that community’s neighbourhood plan, which was adopted by city council in April. The Partington options are: • Concept 1: Large, low-rise buildings as in West Vancouver’s Ambleside area, housing 8,400 to 11,500 residents; • Concept 2: Mid-rise buildings, pedestrianfocused like in UniverCity at Simon Fraser University, housing 9,300 to 12,500 residents; • and Concept 3: Compact, highrise buildings like in Yaletown, housing 9,800 to 15,000 residents. see HIGHER DENSITY DENSITY,, page A4

Education one key to a bylaw on pesticides continued from front page
As well, the proposed bylaw wouldn’t apply to agricultural or forestry pest management; land for transportation or public utilities not owned by the city; urgent infestations; and biological controls. S t e f f a n i e Wa r r i n e r, m a n a g e r o f Coquitlam’s environmental services division, said a key component of the committee’s recommendation is to form a public education and outreach program. Its proposal calls for a one-year phased-in period before penalties are levied for bylaw infractions — plus direction to staff to work with local pesticide vendors “towards voluntarily ceasing the sale of non-excluded pesticides in the city of Coquitlam.” Warriner said the committee reviewed many documents on the topic, heard from a delegation from the Canadian Cancer Society and received a 400-name petition from a group called the Coquitlam Pesticide Awareness Coalition as well as several letters from the public before making its recommendation. A call to the advisory committee’s chair, Coun. Linda Reimer, was not returned Thursday but Coun. Brent Asmundson, chair of Coquitlam’s engineering committee, said he plans to support the advisory group’s recommendation and move it on to council for consideration. Still, Asmundson said he would prefer the federal government take action on product safety “rather than having some patchwork of regulations. We’re stepping into an area that’s not our responsibility.” Meanwhile, B.C. Premier Christy Clark said last month she supports a provincial ban on cosmetic pesticide use. NDP Leader Adrian Dix tabled Bill M 203, Cosmetic Pesticide and Carcinogen Control Act, 2011, on May 5, which is expected to be debated in the next session of the provincial legislature. jwarren@tricitynews.com

IN QUOTES
Community planner Andrew Young, who has overseen the Partington Creek project since 2006, said no decisions have been made yet on the number of highrises that could be built under Concept 3. “Ultimately, to reach a population of 15,000 people would require a more intense development in the neighbourhood centre in the form of multi-storey condominium buildings,” Young said in an email, adding the city envisions around 3,700 people living in the village core for the mid-sized option. Still, there are a number of challenges with building the automobilereliant Partington Creek neighbourhood, namely, the BC Hydro rights-ofway (development can’t go under the wires); stormwater controls (slopes generally range from 5% to 20%); and protection of fish habitat (Partington Creek is federally rated as one of the healthiest watersheds in Metro Vancouver, with a reported 14 or more species of fish). Indeed, the neighbourhood plan was tied up for about a year while Fisheries and Oceans Canada sought more preservation for the Star Creek tributaries. As a result, the city moved the entire village core to the west. Fisheries signed off on the $30-million integrated watershed management plan last month, allowing the neighbourhood plan to move forward. Calls to most of the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Working Group members were not returned by press time. But Cheryl Zepeski said she is comfort-
“Ultimately, to reach a population of 15,000 people would require a more intense development in the neighbourhood centre in the form of multi-storey condominium buildings.” Andrew Young, planner able with the way the city intends to develop the area. “I thought the plan was just fine, though it needs to be tweaked with the public feedback from the open house,” she said, adding, “The city has done a lot of work with fisheries and environmental mitigation.” “I think they’re trying their best for land use and respecting the people who have lived here for a long time,” said Pam Goessaert, a 20-plus year Burke Mountain resident. “I appreciated taking part in the working group but I don’t know if it means anything in the long run, when it’s all developed. They will do want they want to do up there.” • Comments on the draft Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan — and its companion watershed management document — can be sent to planninganddevelopment@coquitlam.ca until Tuesday, June 28 to be included in the city staff report to council. A fourth open house is planned for Sept. 22. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Former principals return
Retired principals will fill temporary vacancies By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
School District 43 has hired three retired principals to fill temporary positions in local schools. Two of the temporary postings cover administrators taking a leave of absence while the third will replace a principal who has been appointed to head a new program to get absentee students back in the classroom. Per ry Muxworthy, who has been principal at Roy Stibbs elementary school, is in charge of the new Success for All program, which the SD43 board of education approved in its 2011-’12 budget. The $260,000 program was requested by the Coquitlam Principals’ and Viceprincipals’ Association because of concer n about non-attending students, including about three dozen at the middle school level. Muxworthy will be replaced by Pinetree Way elementary school’s Tricia Tipper, who will also oversee Mountain Vi e w e l e m e n t a r y, while retired principal Christine Lauzon will take over for Tipper at Pinetree Way. Two other retired administrators are replacing temporary leaves: Bruce Carabine will be

vice-principal at Como Lake middle school in Coquitlam (where Karen Klein is taking a leave of absence) and Craig Reitchel will be vice-principal at Port Coquitlam’s Minnekhada middle. SD43 spokesperson
Cheryl Quinton said hiring retired administrators for temporary postings provides stability. “It’s a great solution for us,” she said. “These are experienced principals and the schools benefit in that it provides
more stability and they go in knowing they’re temporary.” But she said the district needs to build its pool of administrators and will likely do some recruiting this summer.

Fox funeral services on Saturday in PoCo By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A funeral service for Betty Fox, mother of Canadian icon Terry Fox, is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at Port Coquitlam’s Trinity United Church. The public service will be presided over by Rev. Brian Burke. But because the church’s 300-seat capacity is expected to be quickly surpassed, the Port Coquitlam recreation complex on Wilson Avenue will host a concurrent ceremony. “Once capacity at the church is reached, people will be redirected to Wilson Centre, where seating and a live feed from the church will be available,” PoCo’s communications manager, Pardeep Purewal, said in a press release Thursday. The recreation centre will begin accepting funeral attendees at noon. Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Const. Kristina Biro said Thursday local Mounties were working on a plan with the city of PoCo to deal with the likely influx of traffic around the church on Saturday. She said that plan could potentially involve the partial closure of Prairie Avenue and Shaughnessy Street. Anyone wishing to attend Fox’s memorial is asked to write to bettyfoxservice@gmail.com to request a seat at the church. Betty Fox died of complications

I
s Coquitlam a rogue council fighting for citizens’ rights or a Don Quixote tilting at windmills over its recent dust-up with Metro Vancouver over the Regional Growth Strategy. Whatever your view of the city’s refusal to sign the RGS land use document, a proposal this week for a referendum in November to get the Coquitlam voters’ view on electing councillors to the board is cheap grandstanding of the highest order. The premise makes no sense. How would electing councillors — who have already been elected — make the metro board more accountable? Second, how could such a referendum in one city be binding without an overhaul of the entire system, which was created in the 1960s by the provincial government? A better idea would be to elect the Metro board directly but that’s not up to Coquitlam council to decide. Coquitlam council should get real and stop taking cheap shots to gain political points in an election year.

Teach? Naomi? Never, not on your life... THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES Naomi Yorke HONG KONG have always proclaimed that I will never be a teacher. There are just too many of this species in my own family and I have never taken to the idea of working long, long hours with limited compensation. (OK, I am an idealist, but being surrounded by teachers, I know how dedicated they can be and how much of their jobs they bring home with them every night. Can the compensation ever equal the dedication?) Don’t get me wrong I love education. I think I may actually be obsessed with the process of being educated, to tell you the truth. But growing up in the shadow of my mother’s classroom, it was always something I swore I would never do. Anytime anyone ever asked me, “Do you think you will be
I
a teacher like your mum?” a fast clear and vigourous “NO” has always been the answer. But here I sit in a classroom, coloured construction paper on the walls, pencil sharpener in the corner and I am preparing a lesson plan. Oh, how life can surprise you. So what am I up to? I am teaching summer school here in Hong Kong this summer and I am liking it. Standing up at the front of the class, I don’t feel particularly nervous or excited. After five minutes, it felt like I had been doing this for five years, which I naturally find rather unsettling. Honestly, when I walked into that room of smiling faces, I didn’t feel like I was walking into a room of youngsters — they felt more like my peers. Maybe this is because I still count myself as one of the students. The realization that the student chapter of my life is nearly over has not quite hit me, not truly. But I feel comfortable around students because, for the moment anyway, I am still counted among their ranks.

“The realization that the student chapter of my life is nearly over has not quite hit me, not truly. But I feel comfortable around students because, for the moment anyway, I am still counted among their ranks.” Naomi Yorke I have spent the majority of my life in a classroom. For some people, schooling beyond the compulsory is a dreadful thought but for me it is fantastic. When I think about the future beyond May 2012, when my degree will be complete and my undergrad student
days will end, I draw a blank. The thought of no longer paying the student price and having to always tick the box that says “Adult” is daunting. How will I adjust? So after my experience in the classroom this week, I have realized that being on the other side of the teacher’s desk is not as frightening as I thought it would be. It may actually be, dare I say, fun. No, I am not running off to get a BEd. degree any time soon but for this summer, I will enjoy the role reversal. And in the process, I have gained a new respect and understanding for all the underpaid, overworked teachers out there because, as corny as it may sound, the work really is rewarding. 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 attends art school in Chicago, where she’s attending art school, and continues her column. During the summer holidays, she is living in Hong Kong.

FACE TO FACE: Did VPD do its job well during the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver?
City response was a ‘travesty’ I
grew up in Brandon, Manitoba, where the seven-month winter was often cold enough to freeze one’s tonsils — or, at least, the tip of one’s tongue to a metal railing (as I can personally attest). This explains why every time I ventured outdoors, my mother would invariably tell me to put on an extra sweater. When I would complain, she’d answer: “It’s better to be safe than sorry.” Too bad mom didn’t pick up a phone the day before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals to deliver the same advice to Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and Police Chief Jim Chu. Instead, one or both of them decided to leave the downtown core vulnerable to drunkards, hooligans, anarchists and idiots, ignoring not only many of the key recommendations from the inquiry into the 1994 Stanley Cup riot but, also, common sense. The result was a monumental black eye to the reputation of the city — and, by extension, to that of the entire Metro Vancouver area, of which the Tri-Cities is a part. The mayor and the chief didn’t play it safe and now we’re all paying the price. It hardly matters whether their
decision was the result of naivety, stupidity or miserliness; the simple fact is that they decided to deploy a woefully inadequate police force during Game 7 festivities downtown. The officers who were present undoubtedly did all they could given the circumstances. In fact, I’ve seen no evidence to suggest that any of them acted inappropriately, either by way of overzealous reaction to the violence or through acts of cowardice. On this, my colleague and I agree. But I cannot share his overarching enthusiasm for the manner in which the police responded to the riot. By any measure, the response was a failure. Rioters ran amok. Fans’ lives were endangered. Property was destroyed. And a few brave citizens found themselves attempting to stop the mayhem on their own, with no uniformed support. It was a travesty, pure and simple. It is true that the ultimate responsibility for the riot rests with its perpetrators and the many thrill-seeking egomaniacs who joined them. Nevertheless, the police force itself, and its directors, must also bear some of the blame for the Cup Calamity of 2011.

VPD deserves our applause M
y reactionary colleague often suggests my response to political crises is to sit around singing “Kumbaya” (conservatives consider this their cleverest and most incisive political insult). This week, I confess that I am currently sitting around singing Kumbaya with Police Chief Jim Chu and the Vancouver Police Department in admiration of its disciplined and restrained handling of last week’s Stanley Cup riot. The riot was bad, a blight on Vancouver’s reputation. We are all embarrassed and angry. Because of Chief Chu and a disciplined police response, however, this time our anger is correctly focused on the rioters instead of the police. There are no stories of police brutality, no interviews with innocent bystanders bleeding or hobbled by over-zealous cops. This was not a small riot. It wasn’t “just a few troublemakers.” It was a hundred thousand young people — an irresistible force. Had the police given this mob any focus for their anger, rioting could have lasted days. Using social media, rioters would have quickly reinforced and overrun any site of aggressive police action. But the police would not be provoked. Their discipline was
remarkable; dare I say, heroic. The restrained police response wasn’t because they were undermanned or ill-prepared or naive, or led by “Kumbaya”-singing lefties. It was their plan, a strategy that works, and it worked that awful night. The police acted as one acts when dealing with a person having a seizure: protect them from injury, remove things that could hurt them, don’t hold them down or restrain them. It will pass. The riot did pass. In three hours. It often takes two hours just to clear BC Place or Roger’s Arena, even without the fascination of a riot. Regardless of what my go-aheadmake-my-day colleague says, this riot was not caused by, allowed or exacerbated by police inaction or unpreparedness. The malpractice responsible for this kind of behaviour took place in myriad Metro Vancouver homes long before the VPD had to respond to the developmental distemper of tens of thousands of young people in downtown Vancouver. Bravo, Chief Chu. You got it right this time. Don’t let the cowboy critics change your tactics. And we’ll be looking for you and some good police baritones the next time all we lefties sit around singing

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Cities must get a handle on pay
The Editor, Re. “Big bucks for fewer city staff” (The Tri-City News, June 22). The above-referenced article does a good job of keeping the taxpayer informed of where their money goes and also indicates what members of city council have to go through each year to kee p the costs down. Of particular interest to myself as a taxpayer are the figures for the fire department. The fire department does an excellent job but the salaries posted are out of proportion to what they contribute to society. I believe our elected representatives have little input into negotiations that take place to award these ridiculous salaries taxpayers have to pay. T h e f i re ch i e f ear ned $165,615 last year, a deputy $163,668 and an assistant fire chief $156,581 while the mayor made $117,939. And remember, we also have fire captains, assistant captains, etc. We also have city managers making nearly more than the prime minister of Canada. Something is obviously out of whack here and the taxpayer doesn’t get any say in it. The above is repeated throughout the Lower Mainland. Something has to change to get our expenses in line — a taxpayer revolt, perhaps? Keith Walker, Port Coquitlam
Lack of connector flaw in transit plan The Editor, Traffic in the Tri-Cities is going to be at a standstill as Burke Mountain and the rest of the northeast sector continues to be built out. Even if the Evergreen Line were brought on board by 2014 or 2015, and whether it is light-rail transit (LRT) or rapid transit, it is not going to provide enough relief to the traffic gridlock. It is distressing two transport authorities funded by taxpayers have been unable to work on building the Evergreen Line and Murray-Clarke Connector in Port Moody. In the absence of the connector, it is appalling how such a flawed plan could have advanced so far. The need for the connector was identified almost three decades ago and the business case is more justified than ever; its omission flies in the face of transit-oriented development principles espoused by our officials at all levels as being the responsible way of spending our tax money. Why did the province build the Golden Ears Bridge at a cost of more than $800 million for future traffic needs when today we have unmet needs for almost the same volume of daily traffic on the Moody Street overpass? This is outrageous. T he province arbitrarily imposed on TransLink a SkyTraintype system for the Evergreen Line, complete with additional capital cost, instead of LRT. So why is TransLink (the province in sheep clothing) now expecting the mayors to come to the table? Now that the former transportation minister, Kevin Falcon, is in charge of the provincial finances, surely he shouldn’t have any trouble funding his government’s decision.

The province forced SkyTrain-type technology on TransLink so it should come up with more money for the Evergreen Line, argues the letter writer. As a standalone infrastructure project, there are opportunities for considerable cost savings on the Evergreen Line that have not been explored. In addition, there are substantial economic savings (and environmental benefits) to be had by building the Murray-Clarke Connector with the Evergreen Line. Hopefully our new
premier will remember fondly the traffic needs of the Tri-Cities from her Port Moody days — our local BC Liberal MLAs will likely be sacrificial lambs if she doesn’t.

You Asked... Q. I want to do something special to remember my son. Any ideas? A. Here are some unique thoughts ... try preparing a photo album with copies for each family member. Wear jewelry using your son’s Steve Hosking birthstone. Keep a journal. Create a quilt using pieces of your son’s clothing with panels signifying meaningful events or special interests. Release a helium balloon tied with ‘love-notes’. Continue to remember your son on intimate family cards by using a ‘symbol’ sticker or drawing (angel, dove). Send family and friends packets of Áower seeds (Forget-Me-Nots?) to be planted on the anniversary of your son’s birth or death. These are but a few.

The city of Coquitlam is targeting litter and scattered g arbage in launching its AdoptA-Street prog ram this week. S ch o o l g ro u p s, non-profit organizations, businesses and neighbours are encouraged to adopt an area of municipal road and commit to keeping it litter-free. The minimum length of an adoptable road is 1 km and groups are encouraged to commit to litter pickup once a month for at least one year. “We see the program as a co-operative effort between the city and its citizens who want to help improve its appearance and become litter-free,” Mayor Richard Stewart said in a city press release. “Few things diminish the beauty of a community more than scattered garbage and we want to eliminate this in Coquitlam.” Volunteers will be provided with information kits, including safety guidelines and litter pickup equipment. They will work under the guidance of the engineering and public works department. A l l vo l u n t e e r s must fill out an application and the city will furnish and install two adopt-astreet signs at endpoints of the group’s adopted street with their name and an acknowledgement of their commitment. Those interested i n re g i s t e r i n g a stretch of road are encouraged to go to www.coquitlam. ca/adoptastreet for more information or email adoptastreet@ coquitlam.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Part of Porter Street will be Veterans Way By Gary McKenna
Elsley and Yetty Foulds have been instrumental in having the road near the Coquitlam cenotaph declared Veterans Way.
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A section of Porter Street in Coquitlam is getting a new name. Veterans Way signs will be posted along the stretch of road bet we e n Ki n g A l b e r t and Winslow avenues, which leads up to the Coquitlam cenotaph in honour of the Canadian Armed Forces. For Yetty Foulds, the signs are a way of letting veterans know the community is thinking of them and respects the sacrifice they make for their country. “It is important for our veterans,” said
CRAIG HODGE THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Foulds, a member of the Coquitlam branch of the Royal Canadian Legion who spearheaded the effort to put up the signs. “It is very important that people remember. You can never do too much to make them feel better.” Fo u l d s h a s s e e n
first-hand the work Canadian service people do. She lived through the Ger man occupation of Holland during the Second World War and met her husband, Elsley, when her country was liberated. He was a member of the Canadian military and
the two relocated to Canada following the war. “We can’t repay the veterans for what they have done for us,” she said. “They gave us our freedom.” The signs are blue and emblazoned with a poppy on one side and a maple leaf on the other. Several will be placed along Porter Street and will feature prominently in Remembrance Day celebrations in November. The city will be unveiling the signs June 25 as part of Legion Week, which runs June 20 to 25. Those who wish to at-
tend the unveiling are invited to the cenotaph at 2 p.m. Veterans and city officials will be on hand and a barbecue
will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion on Ridgeway Avenue at 4 p.m. following the event. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Little change in plans for Belcarra By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Belcarra residents will get their last chance next week to comment on a growth plan for the semi-rural waterfront village. But the draft official community plan (OCP) shows that little change is anticipated for the municipality over the next five to 10 years. The OCP bylaw, which council gave second reading last Monday, proposes one to two new homes a year but no commercial or industrial development as well as no new roads, parks or schools. It predicts Belcarra’s population will rise from 700 to 1,000 residents by 2041 — a number that corresponds with Metro Vancouver’s regional estimates. It notes, however, that if the 76-acre former Camp Howdy lands are developed for market housing, Belcarra would reach its population target earlier (the OCP permits a density of one home per acre). Bill Morrell, a Metro Vancouver spokesperson, said if the Metro board does not adopt its proposed regional growth strategy soon, Belcarra’s regional context statement — meshing municipal and regional growth projections — would apply under the current 1996 Liveable Region Strategic Plan, which the RGS is expected to replace. Belcarra’s draft OCP, which is available on the village website and has been reviewed by a number of agencies, including the village of Anmore and the city of Port Moody, highlights
land use, water use, transportation and environmental policies. Among them: • a l l ow i n g n o commercial uses in Belcarra regional park other than for passive recreational activities; RALPH DREW • encouraging shared wharves as well as carriage homes; • implementing a water-conservation plan for the new municipal water system; • protecting the forested character within Belcarra Regional Park and Indian Arm Provincial Park; • and reducing the community’s carbon footprint. It also includes village reports (i.e., Bedwell Bay Sustainability Plan) and provincial regulations that weren’t in effect when the last OCP was adopted 15 years ago. Mayor Ralph Drew said an OCP working group was struck in 2009 and met once or twice a month to hash out details. It held two information sessions with the public; council also hosted a community open house to gauge feedback. “It’s pretty much a status-quo OCP,” Drew said. “We’ve done some tinkering here and there but the community wants, more or less, to see minimal change.” • The public hearing on Belcarra’s draft official community plan (OCP) will be held on Monday, June 27 at 7 p.m. at the municipal hall, 4084 Bedwell Bay Rd. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Garbage bins must be secured continued from front page
People need to be more aware that their garbage is appealing to bears looking for highcalorie food to bulk up after spending several months in hibernation. “We’ve stressed right from the be ginning that these carts are animal-resistant, not bear-proof,” said Rick Saunier, the city’s environmental technologist. Saunier said the city bylaw requires garbage and green waste containers be secured — either stored indoors or tethered with a chain — and people who don’t will get a warning and, potentially, a fine. “We’ve handed out several warnings this year,” Saunier said. As local salmonberries start to ripen, the bears are drawn down from the hills and Saunier doesn’t want to see the bruins turn to garbage instead. In Coquitlam, similar concerns have arisen as bears make their way along trails searching for wild berries. The city’s Bear Aware co-ordinator, Drake Stephens, said he’s getting a couple of calls a day from people concerned about bears or their neighbour’s garbage, and he’s finding

Bear sightings tend to increase in the Tri-Cities this time of year. If you encounter a bear, you should stay calm, stop and back up slowly — never approach a bear. garbage left in plastic bags on the street, especially along Johnson Street. Stephens said crows rip open the bags and leave crumbs and mess everywhere, and the plastic allows the odour to escape, attracting bears. He is also concerned about the number of people who aren’t using the green can program and are still putting their food in regular garbage cans. The problem, Stephens says, is that green cans are picked up first to shorten the amount of time the food waste and compost is available to bears. He said he has seen bears in Coquitlam recently knocking over garbage containers to
get food on garbage day. “There’s a lot of people that think they’re doing the right thing. I’m finding it difficult to educate them one at a time,” Stephens admitted, nothing that now is not the time to get complacent. “Just because we’re not seeing a lot of bears doesn’t mean we can relax and get sloppy. We will attract bears if there’s a food source available.” In Port Coquitlam, bear calls have been “reasonable,” about 16 sightings since the beginning of May, said the city’s bylaw services manager, Dan Scoones, and most of them have been about bears eating wild berries in local
Berries ripened earliest in Port Moody, bringing bears to city parks and trails. Signs alerting walkers about bears went up in Shoreline Park recently and people are encouraged to keep their distance. “Things started to pick up the third week of May,” said Rick Saunier, environmental technologist for the city. A bear and two cubs were seen recently near Port Moody secondary school and bears have been sighted at Shoreline Park, as well. All of the Tri-Cities is bear country, especially at this time of year, and those who are visiting local trails should stay in groups, make some noise and keep their dogs leashed and children close, experts say.

walking on three legs and may have been hit by a car. The calls have come in as bear sightings are ramping up in the region, with bears coming into the area to look for salmonberries. Stephens said the conservation service got a call about a bear with an arrow in its side from a residence on Oriole Avenue in Port Coquitlam in a neighbourhood north of Prairie Avenue and east of Coast Meridian. Of ficers attempted
to locate the bear but were unable to find it, Stephens said. But the injured bear may still be in the area because a caller to The Tri-City News says he saw a bear that looked like it had a splotch of red on its side during a run along Hyde Creek trail around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Mike McQuillan said he’s concer ned the shooting, if it can be confirmed, was a copycat response to a bow hunting incident two weeks ago in
which hunters legally shot a bear on a blueberry farm; that bear ran away into a wildlife management area next to Minnekhada Park and was later tracked and killed by conservation officers. McQuillan said the bear he saw looked as if it may have had an arrow lodged in its side but was otherwise healthy. Bear hunting season ended June 15 so shooting a bear would be illegal. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Scaled-down fire hall expected to be approved By Todd Coyne
IN QUOTES
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
After months of public squabbling between Port Moody city hall and the firefighters’ union, plans for a new fire hall are expected to be approved Tuesday by city council. The plans include a scaled-down hall at a scaled-down cost compared to the $16-million, 25,000-sq. ft. hall Port Moody voters approved in an April 16 referendum. The task force picked to draw up the new fire hall plans is also recommending a change of venue from the current location at the corner of Murray Street and Ioco Road. The report calls for an $11-million, 20,000 sq. ft. hall at Knowle Street and Newport Drive, a stone’s throw from the current building and next door to city hall. The Knowle Street site was previously intended to be the site of a temporary fire hall

if construction of the $16-million replacement hall was to go ahead on the current site. Port M o o dy f i r e f i g h t e r s will instead remain in their current building while the new one is built, eliminating the need for a temporary hall and eliminating $700,000 from the previous budget. The Por t Moody firefighters’ union, however, believes the K n ow l e S t re e t s i t e is simply too small to house a fire hall, according to union s p o ke s p e r s o n Ro b Suzukovich. “It’s just the size that’s the problem. We ’ re n o t o p p o s e d to moving away, ex-
actly, as long as we’re in the general vicinity there,” Suzukovich said. “What’s in question is will it truly fit? I haven’t been convinced it will.” Coun. Gerry Nuttall, who, along with councillors Karen Rockwell and Me ghan Lahti, acting fire chief Remo Faedo and firefighter Rob Shoucair, served on the fire hall task force, said he is not convinced by Suzukovich’s argument. “We think it will fit. The fire department representatives think that it will and if it doesn’t, then we go back to something else. But every indication is that it will fit... All we
are doing is substituting footprint squarefootage for height.” Although the architectural plans are not expected to be finalized until December, Coun. Lahti said the new hall will likely be a threestorey building with an 8,500-sq. ft. footprint. Of the $11-million fire hall budget, the task force is recommending the city borrow $9 million from the province and take the remaining $2 million from city coffers. Coun. Rockwell, the task force chair, said S u z u ko v i c h ’s c o m plaints on behalf of the union that the new hall will be too small are disingenuous. “I’m not sure where Rob Suzukovich’s comments about the fire hall being too small are coming from. The apparatus bay is larger than what they currently have and provides room for future expansion,” Rockwell said. “If they’re coming from the fact that
Search is on for new manager By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
It’s time to update that resume. The city of Port Moody will be looking to fill two top job postings this summer: city manager and fire chief. For mer fire chief Jef f Lambert resigned from his post May 2 and city manager Gaetan Royer will leave before the end of August to take a new job at Metro Vancouver. “Anyone that feels they will qualify [for the city man-
ager job] can apply,” said Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini, declining to comment on what those specific qualifications are but adding, “I anticipate it will be open to any candidates inside and outside [of city hall].” City manager is the only job at city hall on which council votes to hire an applicant. Mayor Trasolini said that once city council tables and approves a motion in the coming weeks to seek a replacement city manager, councillors will

In the meantime, Trasolini said, Royer, in his role as city manager, is expected to “find a solution to the fire chief problem” by either beginning the application process for the job or cementing a tacit agreement between deputy fire chiefs Remo Faedo and Gord Parker, who have been sharing the role of acting Port Moody chief since Lambert’s departure. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

we’ve reduced their leisure space and outdoor barbecue deck, then yes we have reduced that space. We’ve approached this from an operational need and not a desire perspective. And while a 1,400-square-foot leisure space and 900-squarefoot barbecue deck would be seen as desirable, I don’t think that’s an effective use of taxpayer money and the task force obviously didn’t either.” Coun. Nuttall said that following city
council’s decision to go against the April 16 public directive to borrow $16 million to build a large new fire hall on the current site, there was a public misconception that council was ignoring the referendum results. Instead, he said, council took that authorization to borrow the money and had another look at how costs might be saved on the project. “We didn’t say no to the fire hall ever,” Nuttall said. “We said no to the $16-million

Construction on the Knowle Street site is expected to begin early in 2012, with an anticipated completion time of two years. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

RONNIE MIRANDA PHOTO
Port Moody photographer Ronnie Miranda used a gigapan imager to take a photo of the crowd on Georgia Street in downtown Vancouver prior to the Stanley Cup riot June 15. The camera took more than 200 images, which Miranda spliced together using specialized computer software. The result is a wide shot that allows the viewer online to zoom in and make out individual faces that appeared in the crowd. To try it out, and for more examples of Miranda’s work, including a panoramic shot of the Tri-Cities, go to www.gigapixel.com.
Kids learning to be coppers Students with an interest in law enforcement are getting a sneak peak while receiving high school credit as part of the Coquitlam RCMP’s Introduction to Policing course. Many of the latest batch of graduates of the 2011 program have be gun volunteering with the community police station and have taken on duties like the popular bike patrol program. “The course was the best thing I’ve experienced in my high school career,” said program graduate Rebecca Dingle. “I wanted to take the course because I was really interested in exploring the world of policing.” Students learn everything from how to conduct a roadside screening for impaired driving investigations to the basics of forensic investigations and fingerprint analysis. They also participate in a demonstration of emergency response tactics and learn from RCMP recruiting officers what it takes to join the national force. The program, which is aimed at students in Grades 11 and 12, is recognized as a twocredit course in School District 43 and RCMP officers have run it on a volunteer basis for more than a decade.
Speak up! You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com
“The volunteerism is what really makes the program a success,” said Sgt. Farid Siddiqui, who has been involved in the course for the past 10 years. “Every ye a r we g e t m o r e Mounties interested in organizing and presenting and more kids are applying.”
SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
The 43 graduates from this year’s Introduction to Policing 2011 program were celebrated during grad ceremonies this month and several received scholarship awards. Winners include: • Leanne Jimenez, Riverside secondary; • Brenden Yee, Gleneagle secondary; • Yuqing (Cindy) Ding, Pinetree secondary; • and Eric Fell, Terry Fox secondary.

But there is one addiction she has not been able to shake. “I have a caber tossing habit,” she said. “It is very strange but once you have tried it, it can be very addictive.” The heavy-events athlete will be demonstrating her strength and skills tomorrow (Saturday) at the BC Highland Games in Percy Perry Stadium at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. Participants will get the chance to watch as Dallimore picks up a 20-foot, 100pound log in an attempt flip it. Judges award points for accuracy and positioning. It is just one of many heavythrowing events taking place at the games. About 50 other athletes will be participating in everything from the Scottish hammer toss, which is the ancestor of the Olympic hammer throwing event, to the sheaf toss, which sees athletes tossing bails of hay over a bar. Dallimore said she was drawn to the sport while recovering from an auto accident. Her goal was to heal her injured back to a point where she would be able to throw a tree. Today, she participates in heavy-event competitions around the world and recently returned

The sport attracts a different set of athletes, and Dallimore said there is a strong sense of community among the heavyevents participants. “There is a good sportsmanship atmosphere,” she said. “Everyone helps you out, which you don’t see a lot in other sports.” But throwing heavy stuff is not the only activity at the BC Highland Games, of which The

Reading and PJs at Fox Library The story of these photos from local resident Anna Richter: “My daughter and I were working in the garden last week and took some time to water our hanging baskets. As I pulled one of the baskets down, a bird flew out. I suspected there might be a nest inside, so I grabbed my camera and had a look. Sure enough, there was a tiny, perfect little nest with four eggs. I think the eggs are those of the dark-eyed junco. It was a real treat to find, and I hope that soon there will be babies in the basket.”

Members of the Coquitlam Amateur Radio Emergency Services Society take part in a previous field day exercise, in which ham radio operators set up in a field to simulate their response to a natural disaster. of contacting people in other countries. “It is an international event and the purpose of it is to test our emergency capabilities,” she said. “It is one thing to operate from our building... but it is quite another to go to a new location and set up your antennas and do everything from scratch.

Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam will be transformed Sunday into a fairly land for families to enjoy nature with a whimsical twist. Public Dreams, the society known for its Illuminare festival of lights in Vancouver, is bringing artists, farmers and ecologists together for a Midsummer Fête, which runs from 1 to 5 p.m. June 26. “It really is chock-a-block with everything you would imagine you would encounter at a traditional summer fête,” explained creative director Samantha Jo Simons, who said the free event will have artists, workshops, performances and displays to engage the public in imaginative and creative ways. For example, a harpist will perform in a fairy ring, the tea and apricot scones will be served by people in costumes and guests will be invited to wear a hat; as well, artistic workshops will use natural materials and people will be invited to weave plants onto a legacy sculpture, build a mandala on the ground with flowers, leaves and
grass, and make their own musical instruments. “These are all things children can do but adults can participate and will enjoy as well, “ Simons said. The F lying Monkey Hor n Orchestra will play its handmade instruments and there will be more traditional activities throughout the afternoon, such as storytelling, roving performers and puppetry under tents to protect the public in case it rains. Public Dreams will be collaborating with artist Marina Szijarto, who serves as artistic director and “green curator” of the event, creating an outdoor gallery of works by well-known artists, artisans, gardeners and beekeeper, and Metro Vancouver is partnering in the event.

When an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan in March, much of the communication i n f r a s t r u c t u re w a s wiped out across huge swaths of the country. Telephone and cellular service was non-existent and internet connections were down in most parts of the Asian nation. For Coquitlam Radio Amateur Emergency Services Society member Jessica McAlister, the incident was an important reminder of the role ham radio operators can play when a disaster strikes. While the technology may seem archaic in a world full of iPhones and laptop computers, radio was often the only means of communication in Japan following the quake. “You can never predict where the need is going to come from,” she said. “Amateur radio operators remotely located in Tokyo were able to maintain communication between government and residents.” F o r t u n a t e l y, McAlister said, the city of Coquitlam is armed with a strong team of radio operators who are ready to respond in case of an emergency. This weekend, the society will hold its amateur radio operators field day exercise. Radio enthusiasts from around the world participate in the event and the local group members will be setting up its equipment at Blue Mountain Park in hopes

Housing starts forecast to increase. CMHC foresees rising luxury homes sales as well. Housing starts will increase in British Columbia this year and next, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Housing Market Outlook report. The CMHC says that housing starts, including single-detached and multiple-family homes, are projected to total 26,400 units in 2011 and 29,000 in 2012. “The housing market outlook is similar to CMHC’s first quarter forecast, except for adjustments to the existing home price outlook,” says CMHC’s B.C. Regional Economist Carol Frketich. “Mortgage loan interest rates, which will remain low by historic standards, together with stable employment and strong population growth, will support the resale and new home markets in 2011 and 2012.”
“An increase in higher-end detached home sales in the first quarter in some areas of Greater Vancouver will push the average MLS price up 14 per cent in 2011, to $770,000,” says Robyn Adamache, Senior Market Analyst for Vancouver with the CMHC. According to a release from the CMHC, price increases recorded in Vancouver, Richmond and West Vancouver are higher than anticipated, and this will continue to contribute to higher prices and greater demand for high-end homes in those areas. “Greater Vancouver accounts for almost half of MLS sales in the province, and a rising share of single detached home sales, which tend to have higher prices, as well as an increasing proportion of sales in higher priced areas of Greater Vancouver,” says Frketich.
Downtown living
Vancouver’s SoMa beckons with Uptown by Colin Oswin
Want to join one of Vancouver’s fun and funky neighbourhoods? Developer Concord Pacific may have created the perfect place in Uptown. Located at East 12th and Kingsway, Uptown drops you right in the middle of the hip South Main area. Grant Murray, vice-president of sales with Concord Pacific, says South Main has been upgraded in a big way over the past few years. The area has seen lots of businesses move in after they left the nearby Cambie corridor during construction of the Canada Line, adding a combination of practical amenities and hipster flavour. “Main has gone a long way in upgrading itself,” he says. Uptown is a 10-floor, 102-unit building, featuring a variety of different apartment suites. Layouts range from one- or two-bedrooms with added dens or flex rooms. Suite sizes run from 560 to 955 square feet, not including balconies, and ceilings in most units are 8-foot-8. Murray says suites at Uptown
average $545 per square foot – a far cry from the $700-$800 range typically found right downtown. “It’s really great to have more room for the same buck,” he says. Murray added that the units, what he describes as “really sensible, goodsized suites,” act as a great investment for prospective landlords because tenants tend to stay longer in larger apartments. Uptown is certainly not hurting for amazing features. Outside, residents will find stunning views – especially looking downtown and toward the North Shore mountains. Every suite includes an open balcony or deck. Murray says homes on floors six to 10 have particularly spectacular views, but residents on lower floors can still get a chance to enjoy the sunset by venturing up to the building’s green
rooftop terrace. The rooftop terrace is just one of several amenity areas in the building. The others include a gym on the ground floor as well as a kitchenette/ meeting room on the second floor with a nearby play area for the kids. Another play area is available on the 10th floor. Meanwhile inside, kitchens feature high-gloss laminate cabinetry and
under-cabinet lighting. Laminate wood-look flooring is standard throughout the main living areas for a modern touch, and ensuite bathrooms include a textured tile tub and shower surround with elegant glass tile accents. Homes at Uptown start at around $269,000. For more information, visit www. moveuptown.ca or call 604-899-8800.

uites at Uptown average $545 per square foot, a far cry from what is typically found downtown. “It’s really great to have more room for the same buck,” says Concord Pacific’s Vice-President of Sales Grant Murray.

Concord Pacific’s Uptown is right in the middle of Vancouver’s hip South Main area, and includes beautiful views of the North Shore mountains from some suites (above). Kitchens at Uptown include quartz-stone countertops and a mosaic tile backsplash (top), among several other amazing features.

Perennials for late summer colour IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter From rudbeckias to echinacea, you can add some colour to your garden
B
y adding some very special late summer blooming perennials, you can make an enormous difference to the whole look and feel of your garden. When many other garden plants have finished blooming, these perennials will look good even while tolerating the intense heat and drought of late summer, as well as the cool evenings and occasional heavy rains of early fall. At the very top of my list of favourites are the rudbeckias. Perhaps one of the finest of all the rudbeckias is the truly hardy variety R. ‘Goldsturm’. Growing about two feet high with deep golden petals surrounding a dark brown button, ‘Goldsturm’ just keeps pouring out the colour well into October. ‘Early Bird Gold’ is a newer version of ‘Goldsturm’ that blooms two weeks earlier and still keeps going until late fall. Both these varieties will give you many weeks of great colour. Echinacea has been more recently sold as
a herb because of its healing properties, but it also has exquisite flowers. ‘Echinacea purpurea’ is sold as the herbal variety, but pink E. ‘Magnum’ and the white flowering ‘White Swan’ are classy looking plants that add an unique quality to summer gardens. They last well, even tolerating some frost and the spent blossoms make interesting dried flowers. In shady spots or in full sun, perhaps the most elegant of all the late summer perennials are the Japanese anemones. Dwarf or tall, white, pink or dusty rose, these plants are a definite hit, blooming as early as August. The yellow-centred anemone blossoms always have a fresh look about them and they combine well with so many other perennials or shrubs. The white varieties especially brighten up shady areas. For some early fall tones, add a bit of fire to your flower beds with crocosmias. For years they were called montbretia and sold as tiny bulbs, but today they are usually sold in ‘bud and bloom’ as perennials. Crocosmias need a somewhat sheltered spot and very well drained soil, but wow, do they ever add spice to our gardens with their fireorange freesia-type blossoms. Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ is an exceptional scarlet red variety from Blooms in England, but don’t ignore a RHS introduction called ‘Solfatare’ with its golden orange flowers.
‘Emily McKenzie’ is one of my favourites because of its orange flowers with striking bronze throats. Lush looking fall sedums are especially important at this time of year. The succulent foliage of ‘Autumn Joy’ and ‘Brilliant’ certainly looks great all summer and never stresses out in drought situations. As the rosy pink blossoms open, they provide refreshing new colour for weeks. They combine well with low-growing conifers or small flowering shrubs like potentillas. As the pink flowers turn bronze, they should be left on the plant for a rather charming dried ‘fall look’. Old fashioned Michaelmas daisies are still great for fall colour, but dozens of new, more
compact varieties have been developed in the past few years. The colour range has also been dramatically broadened to include deep reds, vibrant purples, pure whites and some interesting pastel shades. There are also a wide range of heights with many new compact varieties for smaller space gardens. Unfortunately, many varieties are susceptible to fungal leaf spot disease, thus lessening their appeal. The latest varieties that look very promising for disease resistance are the ‘Woods’ series in white, pink and blue. Heleniums have not exactly set the world on fire the past few years, but they produce magnificent fall colours very similar to rudbeckias. The small gold or gold-bronze petals bloom well into autumn on either compact or tall varieties. They stand up well in the uncertain fall weather and provide a continuous source of cut flowers as well. Coreopsis have exploded recently with new colours, sizes and forms, but the old reliable C. ‘Zagreb’, C. ‘Moonlight’ and C. grandiflora are the workhorses and bloom consistently now till frost. These are some of my ‘tried and true’ favourites that add fresh new life to late summer gardens. Combine them with colourful conifers, broad-leaved plants and evergreen perennials, like heucheras and euphorbias for some spectacular displays.
HST at 10% or GST + PST at 12%? If British Columbians vote ‘NO‛ to going back to PST + GST in the referendum, the HST reduction to 10% will be the law. The province‛s official notification to the Government of Canada guarantees the drop in HST by way of a signed federal government order.

Heald, PoCo soccer head for big time Ex-Whitecap kicks in as new PoCo minor soccer technical director By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
P
ort Coquitlam FC Soccer Association’s minor faction is headed in a new direction, and there’s few better than Oliver Heald to point the way. A former Vancouver Whitecap star and ex-pro in England, Heald brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as the new technical director of a group that has managed to field just one Metro division squad in the last five years. That number has already grown to three and PoCo FC minor head coach Mark Slater believes more are sure to blossom under Heald’s presence and tutelage, which has him in charge of coach and player IN QUOTES development. “I realize I have a name through my playing background and [our] vision is to bring the club to a higher level,” said the 36-year-old Heald, who toiled two seasons across “the pond” before the midfielder Oliver Heald settled in his nat ive Va n c o u ve r and played the better part of a decade with the Whitecaps. “It’s tough to say where we’ll be in, say, seven years...it’s up in the air... but we want to start establishing a higher level of soccer.” Slater was a one-time teammate of Heald’s on Canada’s national Under-23 men’s squad but said the decision wasn’t so easy to fill the position after 12 “very strong” candidates applied for it. Slater gradually narrowed it down to five, then to three –– Heald, who with wife Andrea recently moved to PoCo’s Citadel Heights, along with contenders from Alberta and Vancouver Island. In the end, Slater made Heald his recommendation to the PoCo FC board of directors and they virtually rubber stamped it, inking him to a three-year deal. “We chose Oliver because of his attitude, his energy and his fresh ideas,” said Slater, a former Vancouver 86er himself who’s now a PoCo chiropractor. “We wanted someone who has a pro background and knows how to compete and Oliver certainly has that.” In seven seasons with the Whitecaps, Heald played in 164 games and collected 34 goals, which ranked him sixth at the time in the club’s all-time scoring. That, coupled with his two-year stint in England with Div. 1’s Port Vale and Div. 2’s Scarborough, provided him with the perfect pedigree to pursue a coaching career. “As soon as I graduated from high school, my dad hucked me on a plane to go tryout in England,” said Heald, a Kitsilano native. “That’s what made me a soccer player, I believe. I actually surprised myself by making the team right away and signing my first pro contract. That experience made me the player I became.”
“I realize I have a name through my playing background and [our] vision is to bring the club to a higher level.”

WESTWOOD
Leah Pells resides beside large, lush Mundy Park and religiously runs through its many twisting trails. So it was literally a mere hop, skip and jump for her Wednesday to the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame awards banquet Wednesday at the nearby Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The distance runner Pells, 46, was among six inductees for 2011 to the Hall, joining another three-time Canadian Olympian Neal Marshall, a speedskater, and former national soccer standout Geoff Aunger in the athlete category. Also joining this year’s Hall class were builders Stan Shillington, for his dedication in lacrosse, and track and field coach Percy Perry, along with the 1972 Centennial Centaurs provincial-champion high school basketball team. “I’m really honoured,” Pells told The Tri-
City News. “It’s really nice to be recognized by the community I lived and trained in. “I always appreciated any award or recognition I receive, knowing somebody was nice enough to have thought of me. But for me, it’s always really been about the fact I just love to run. All [these accolades] come from doing what I love to do.” Pells competed in three Summer Olympic Games, including finishing an amazing fourth in the women’s 1500 metres in 1996 in Atlanta. As for Marshall, he was the first Canadian speedskater to win a world individual title and won the national all-around crown six times. Aunger played in pro soccer leagues in North America and Britain, and achieved 44 Canadian national team caps. Perry, who passed away in 2005, was the driving force behind rebuilding the Coquitlam Cheetahs track and field club, while Shillington has been instrumental in turning his journalism training into scripting out Canadian lacrosse history.

Ron Sutter of the Port Moody Golden Spikers takes a mighty swing at the ball during a Lower Mainland seniors slopitch rec division playoff game Tuesday at Mundy Park.
And it’s that type of keen desire and passion that Slater hopes Heald will filter down to all the PoCo FC minor coaches and players, who compete in the Tri-Cities against the Coquitlam Metro-Ford, North Coquitlam United and Port Moody factions. “We’re not interested in just being a small, recreational club –– we want to also compete,” said Slater, adding there will still be plenty of room for the more recreationally inclinded players. “We have three Metro teams now and, in five years, we’d like to see one playing at every age group in our club. “Our goal is to develop our top players and still provide a place where the others can come out, have fun and get good exercise.” Heald said playing for his hometown Whitecaps was sweet in a number of ways, one being: “I got to play in front of my friends and family every night, so that was an added bonus, for sure.” Having battled for Coquitlam Metro-Ford –– one of PoCo’s fierce Tri-City rivals –– the last two Vancouver Metro men’s league seasons, Heald has shifted his adult playing allegiance to the PoCo Castillians over-35 team for next fall, making him a fully fledged PoCo soccer guy. Just the way he likes it.

Chadwick among best in B.C. – twice By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’s Reaghan Chadwick is not just your average 15-year-old girl. She’s well above average –– given she’s prolific enough in both hockey and lacrosse to be named to Team B.C. in both sports for upcoming Canadian national championships. Chadwick will join four other PoCo athletes who will represent the province in the national Midget girls lacrosse championships July 23-28 in New Westminster. She made the squad following tryouts earlier this month in Richmond, and after having previously being chosen –– along with Coquitlam’s Natasha Panahi –– to toil for B.C. in the Canadian Under18 female hockey finals Nov. 2-6 in Saguenay, Que.
CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Coquitlam’s Reaghan Chadwick is a provincial-calibre girls hockey and lacrosse player who’s gearing up to compete in the upcoming national finals in both sports.
Notice to Port Moody residents of Coal Shipment Trial To continue to support our business and in turn the Port Moody community during a slowdown in sulphur processing in Western Canada, Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT) has been exploring a number of alternative commodities that could align with our current operations. One alternative indentified is the transportation of coal and recent conversations with Teck Resources Limited have resulted in an opportunity for PCT to conduct up to three trial shipments this year beginning in July. The trials will involve direct loading of coal from trains to ship for a duration of two to three days and will at no time involve storage of coal on site. During the trial period, PCT will shut down its sulphur operations to handle one commodity at a time. As such, there will not be abnormal levels of activity on our site or train activity. Furthermore, representatives from PCT, Teck, Metro Vancouver and the City of Port Moody will be monitoring the trial operations closely to ensure this commodity is handled appropriately and safely through our site. If successful, the trial could lead to the short term handling of coal, without storage, at PCT. Our relationship with the community and keeping local residents informed of how we operate the terminal remains our top priority. For more information on the trial program please visit our website.

C h a dw i c k ’s p l a c ing on both provincial teams raised no eyebrows. None but her own, that is. “Yeah, I was surprised,” said the Grade 10 Riverside secondary student. “I was not expecting to [make both teams]. That’s not good to expect something like that.” Chadwick admitted she prefers hockey to lacrosse, but added she enjoys the variation the separate seasons permit. She played boys lacrosse through Peewee and has been toiling in the Midget girls ranks for four years, having started competing against girls sometimes four years her senior. “I was nervous at the beginning, I didn’t know what to expect,” Chadwick said. “But now I have older friends in high school because of it. I think that’s pretty cool.”

Fox football trio treks to Lethbridge Offensive lineman Mason Woods of the Terry Fox Ravens is among three returning players from the 2010 bronze-medal winning squad to have made Football BC’s 40-man roster for the B.C. Under-18 team that will compete in the Football Canada Cup July 9-15 at Alberta’s University of Lethbridge, it was revealed Thursday. The roster breakdown includes seven defensive backs, six defensive linemen, seven offensive linemen, six linebackers, seven receivers, three running backs, three quarterbacks and one kicker. The list also features five players who were honoured by the BC Secondary School Football Association during the 2010 season with all-star recognition, including Fox linebacker Jake Nylund. Defensive lineman Tyrel Ratich of the Ravens was also selected to the elite squad.
The Mt. Douglas Rams (Victoria) have the most roster representation with five players named to the roster. Notre Dame Jugglers and Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Hawks have the next highest representation with four players each. Team BC opens play July 9 versus Manitoba.

Born in Boissevain, Manitoba on November 15, 1937 Betty passed away peacefully on June 17, 2011 in Chilliwack, B.C at the age of 73. Predeceased by son Terry Fox, parents John and Mary Ann Wark, sisters Norma Wark, Kay Ross, brother Fred Wark and brother-in-law Roy Ross. Betty’s early years were spent on prairie soil in Melita, Manitoba. Betty grew up in an active and athletic family playing organized baseball and hockey (goalie) a trait that would be passed on to her own children. After graduating from high school Betty moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where she met (corner of Portage and Main) and married Rolland Murray Fox in October of 1956. A decade and four kids later, Betty and Rolly moved west to Surrey, British Columbia leaving all family behind. They settled in Port Coquitlam which would be the Fox home for 22 years (1968 – 1990). In 1990 Betty and Rolly started a very slow migration east with stops in Lake Errock, B.C. and Abbotsford, B.C. before finally settling in Chilliwack, B.C. in 2003. Betty’s second eldest son Terry was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma and his right leg was amputated above the knee. On April 12, 1980 Terry began the Marathon of Hope, a run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He would cover 3,339 miles over 143 days before cancer returned forcing Terry to stop running on September 1, 1980. Terry died on June 28, 1981. Betty lost her son early and publicly. With no time to grieve, she accepted a role in the development of the Terry Fox Run which would later evolve into The Terry Fox Foundation. Her intuition and nurturing way were critical to safeguarding Terry’s integrity, values and principles. Betty was involved in all aspects of The Terry Fox Foundation, particularly commercialization issues that related to the use of Terry’s name and image for fundraising purposes. It is estimated that Betty spoke to more than 400,000 school children alone during her 25 years of touring the country, leaving each and every child with the inspirational story of the Marathon of Hope. The final words of every speech, “Never, ever give up on your dreams”, have become her hallmark. Betty loved her family and they tried to equally return the love she had for them. She could laugh with the best of them and a tear was always just around the corner. Her family losses were always fresh and sincere. That Betty was a family source for hard work and determination is a given. To the very end Betty’s drive to further Terry’s work never waned as his dream had become her own. Betty is survived by husband Rolly, three children Fred, Darrell, and Judith, their respective spouses Theresa, Bonnie and Dale, nine grandchildren, Terrance, Kirsten, Erin, Jessica, Sarah, DJ, Tianna, Alexandra, and Connor, brother John Wark (Darlene) and sister-in-law Anna. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00pm, Saturday, June 25th at the Trinity United Church, 2211 Prairie Avenue, Port Coquitlam. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to The Terry Fox Foundation: Online at: terryfox.org

President’s Message I am very proud to be the president of the Golden Spike Days Festival Society this year! This is the festival’s 35th anniversary and it also commemorates the 125th anniversary of the railway! I have been on the board as a director since 2007. I’m thrilled to say that when I was a little girl, I started attending the Golden Spike Days Festival in its second year and it is one of my fondest childhood memories! Back in those days it was a weeklong event where the whole city of Port Moody joined in on the fun and the businesses along St. John’s Street and Clarke Street decorated and dressed up in old fashioned outfits. It is my hope to recapture some of that whimsy this year and encourage everyone to dress up! We will still have some of the more modern events that the present generation has come to expect when they attend the festival but we’re also planning old fashioned games for the kids. Don’t forget that we’ll be holding lots of children’s games!
Thank you so much to such a great board of directors, Golden Spike Days staff, volunteers, community organizations, businesses in our community, elected officials and City of Port Moody staff. It has been my pleasure to work with you all! I just know you will enjoy the 35th Annual Golden Spike Days Festival! I can’t wait to see you there! Sally Comin President, Port Moody Golden Spike Days Society
GSDS 2011 Board of Directors Sally Comin - President - Director of Site Management
Judy Pullman - Vice President - Director of Vendors and Chair of Beverage Garden
Peggy O’Neil - Past President - Director of Inlet Run
Marcella Leyden - Treasurer - Sponsorship Chair
Over these past three and a half years, it has been such an eye opening experience to witness how much effort goes into planning our great festival. Every year I am in awe of the dedication and determination that the directors put in to planning, raising money through fundraisers, acquiring sponsorship from the local community, marketing and contacting entertainers, events, vendors and partners.
Kathy-Avery Wilson
The Golden Spike Days Festival is planned and hosted by a group of volunteers that make up the Port Moody Golden Spike Days Society. On average our board members work 20 hours per month preparing for this weekend.
Christina Boliszczuk
We are thankful for the generosity of companies throughout the Tri Cities and the Lower Mainland, without their support we could not host this event. It is their corporate contributions that have allowed us to welcome you to Rocky Point Park this Canada Day weekend.
- Director of Marketing
Additional sources of funds are grants that we receive from different levels of government. The City of Port Moody has been one of our largest contributors. This year we’ve also received a grant from Canadian Heritage. Another integral component of the festival is our volunteers. Without volunteers this festival could not occur year after year. They greet our visitors to the park, assist the children in making hats, build wooden boats and do hundreds of other jobs to ensure everyone enjoys the weekend.

Port Moody Golden Spike Days – 35 Years & Counting.... The Golden Spike Days Festival was first created by the Kiwanis Club of Coquitlam and Port Moody to commemorate the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway line and its arrival at the Port Moody Station. Various events have taken place in celebration of this historic moment, but it wasn’t until 1990 that the celebrations turned into the Golden Spike Days Festival that take place every July long weekend. As the original western terminus, Port Moody remains proud to celebrate the completion of the railway that unites Canada. The picturesque background of Rocky Point Park set the stage for the large variety of entertainment. Featured attractions include dance and musical performances, ecological boat tours, art making workshops, cheerleader dunk tank, children’s crafts, and countless other family oriented activities. This year’s festival will play host to some of Canada’s favourite classics as well as some up-and-coming talents. The main stage will showcase performances by: Prism, Nick Gilder and Sweeney Todd, Billy Roy, David Boxcar Gates, and Dustin Bentall. Tony Prophet and Charlotte Diamond will once again dazzle patrons of all ages with heir musical talents.
Entrance to the festivals is by donation. This money will go towards the success of future festivals made possible by the unrelenting dedication of the Golden Spike Days Society. The Golden Spike Days Society is made of tireless volunteer directors that dedicate countless hours of their time to the success of the annual family festival. Dealing with a variety of tasks ranging from finance to entertainment, the directors ensure that every aspect of the festival is run as smoothly as possible. All of this time and energy is put forth in order to ensure that you, the public, can enjoy the best possible festival year after year. A registered non-profit society, the Golden Spike Days Society exists wholly as a result of the generous financial and in-kind sponsorship received from throughout the local community. Outside the direct contributions of local companies and businesses, this festival truly would not be possible without the undying support patrons that return year after year to join in the festivities.

Port Moody Idol July 2nd at 1:45 PM and July 3rd at 1:15 PM
The Golden Spike Days Festival is looking for the best singers in the tri-city area! Come and experience local voices in an exciting show with a special panel of judges. Semi-finals take place on July 2nd and finals are on July 3rd.
Charlotte Diamond July 2nd at 3 PM www.charlottediamond.com Charlotte Diamond is a popular favourite with Tri-City kids and families and has been presenting concerts at Golden Spike Days for over ten years. Her songs are internationally-known and loved. “Four Hugs a Day”, “I am a Pizza (Je suis une pizza)”, “Octopus (Slippery Fish)” and “Each of us is a Flower” are sung in classrooms and homes throughout the world. Her concerts are very interactive and fun for the whole family!
The Knots July 3rd at 3 PM www.theknots.ca Described as writing beyond their years, The Knots are clearly a band on the rise. In a few short years, the group of four has achieved remarkable success, and impressed fans across a large spectrum.
