No bus service? Cheaper levy Transit-poor areas should get a break — mayors By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

A proposed vehicle levy to finance transit upgrades should charge motorists more if they live in frequently served Vancouver and less in transitpoor areas with no real alternative to driving, some mayors say. The regional mayors council voted last week to pay for the Evergreen Line and a package of broader transit upgrades through a two-cent hike in the gas tax, coupled with at least one other to-be-determined source. see GRADUATED, G U , page g 4

Victim had gang ties By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Police have identified the man who was shot to death on a pathway near Spuraway Avenue in the Ranch Park area of Coquitlam last week. Members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said Christopher James Krake of Coquitlam was known to associate with gang members and was with another murder victim, Chris Reddy, when he was shot late last month. Police believe the 24-year-old’s connection to what they called the “criminal lifestyle” was a contributing factor in his death. IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound told The Tri-City News that police were in touch with associates of both the men but would not confirm whether more people were in danger of gang violence.

“ T h e r e h ave n’ t b e e n a n y w a r n ings through the media,” she said. “[Investigators] are in touch with associates and speaking with people that know these two individuals. It is something they would be looking into.” Krake had run-ins with police in the past. In 2008 he was sentenced to 12 months in jail given and a lifetime firearms prohibition for two counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking. He was to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Wednesday on charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from a peace officer. His body was found on a wooded trail c o n n e c t i n g S p u r aw ay Ave nu e w i t h Meadowbrook elementary school near the intersection of Ranch Park Way last Wednesday morning. see ASSOCIATE, SSOC , page g 8

TransLink’s refusal to build the Murray-Clarke Connector is just the latest episode in what Port Moody councillors are calling “decades” of neglect at the hands of the transit authority. In response, city council voted Tuesday to take its ball and go home. With a lone dissenting vote from Coun. Diana Dilworth, Port Moody’s mayor and council voted in favour of a motion to “immediately commence action to initiate the process to remove the Port Moody section of Guildford Way and all of Murray and Clarke streets from the MRN [TransLink’s major roads network].” That means city staff will try to take b a c k M u r r ay a n d Clarke streets — which h av e b e e n u n d e r TransLink’s authority as regional arterial roads since 1996 — and make them municipal streets on which the city would have sole jurisdiction to alter traffic flow. ROCKWELL And while deliberately hindering through-traffic on Murray and Clarke streets isn’t council’s motivation for reclaiming the busy commuter corridor, the message from council was clear: once Murray and Clarke streets are reclaimed for the best interests of Port Moody residents, Coquitlam commuters and others who travel through the city on their daily commute, may want to avoid it in the future. TransLink’s director of roads, Sany Zein, said Port Moody’s request to withdraw from the MRN is a move without precedent. “A municipality coming to us and saying they want a road taken off the MRN outright hasn’t really happened before as far as we know, looking through our records, but we’ll work with the city on developing an appropriate process,” he said. Coun. Karen Rockwell was specific about what areas would likely be most impacted by any changes favouring local traffic through the Murray-Clarke corridor.

Tri-City residents annoyed by trains

Home Team wins big for PoCo family By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

When Louise Henwood was diagnosed with terminal cancer, her first thoughts were of her two children, Sam and Annie Bridge. While both kids are in their early 20s and old enough to take care of themselves, Louise feared they would not be able to look after the family home, which was in desperate need of repairs. How would they manage and where would they live? “It is absolutely devastating to have to tell your children something like that,” she said. “It was just so devastating for the kids.” So when Henwood’s neighbours chose her for the annual Home Team Challenge, she was elated. Earlier this week she was moved to a nearby hotel room and volunteer crews and local contractors converged on the home to give it the necessary upgrades. Both Sam, 21, and Annie, 23, helped out with the project, learning vital skills and maintenance work that will help them when they have to look after the house on their own. When Henwood returned on Wednesday to see the final product, the Port Coquitlam mother said she could not believe the transformation. Henwood learned she had cancer only month after her husband, Steven Bridge, passed away from the disease in November 2010. She said knowing her kids will have a well-built home is reassuring for her as she deals with the ramifications of her illness. “It gives me so much peace of mind,” she said. “The kids will have something they can hang on to. They don’t have to be split up.” Each year the Home Team finds a Por t Coquitlam family in

need, and pitches-in by renovating their home. The family, or in this case a family member, is sent away for a few days while crews go to work on the residence. When the family returns for the “reveal,” the house is completely renovated. At Henwood’s Western Drive residence, a new furnace was installed and the windows were upgraded, giving the once draughty home a proper heating system. The exterior was completely re-done and an unfinished basement was completed. Some electrical work was also done and the garage was rebuilt. Russ McCann, the project co-ordinator and Home Team volunteer, said he was amazed at how many people came out to support the initiative. The economy has made things difficult for people in the building trades but he said he had no trouble finding local contractors and businesses to donate their time and products to the renovation. “A lot of businesses in the community are having a tough year but most are just saying ‘Oh well,’” said McCann, who organizes the event through the Cornerstone Seventh-day Adventist Church in Coquitlam. “When it comes right down to it I am always amazed at how willing people are to chip in, even if they are having a tough time.” A day after seeing her new home, Henwood told The Tri-City News she is still shocked at the difference. She always knew she had good friends and neighbours, but said there were no words to describe how she felt about the work that was done. “It was absolutely amazing what they did,” she said. “I was overwhelmed at how happy the people were to do it. They can’t wait to go on to the next one.” newsroom@tricitynews.com

T h e c i t y o f Po r t Moody says it has secured a promise from Canadian Pacific Rail to try to keep trains out of the Ioco spur line to the Imperial Oil depot after 9 p.m. Angry residents have been complaining about train noise at all hours of the night for years and asked city council as recently as May to meet with CPR’s community advisory panel to find a solution to the problem.At Tuesday’s council meeting, city manager Gaetan Royer announced that a solution had been reached. “CPR announced last night [Monday] t h at t h e y a d j u s t e d their schedule such that there has been no trains after 9 p.m. for the last month or so and they don’t expect that there’s going to be trains after 9 p.m. in the future,” he said. He added, however, “but obviously there’s a caveat that they operate the Ioco spur and there’s a possibility of using it 24/7.” T h e c i t y o f Po r t Coquitlam is also in talks about train whistle noise at the crossing at Kingsway Avenue and Westwood Street after nearby residents complained.

Port Coquitlam ponders prison polls By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Inmates at the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam will get the opportunity to cast a ballot in the upcoming civic election this November. Last week members of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association called on municipalities with remand centres or provincial jails in their jurisdictions to ensure prisoners are able to exercise their right to vote. Susan Rauh, PoCo’s chief electoral officer, said the city is looking into setting up a system where inmates could vote through a mail-in ballot, provided they have lived in the municipality long enough to qualify. “That is something we are going to need to consider,” she said. “We are al-

ready using mail-in ballots. It is possible to make that option available to [the remand centre].” Another option would be to have a mobile poll brought to the prison on voting day, however Rauh believes that could be difficult to arrange. She prefers the mail-in ballot option and said she would be speaking with NFPC officials to find out how to facilitate the process. Inmates serving more serious indictable offences do not have the right to vote in a provincial, federal or municipal election. However, the Local Government Act states that prisoners on remand awaiting trial or those convicted of less-serious summary offences have the right to cast a ballot in a civic election. The B.C.

points to a 2002 Supreme Court of Canada decision which states that it is the government’s duty to facilitate a voting process for inmates. “It is imperative that those who have the right to vote be afforded the means to do so,” said Robert Holmes, president of the BCCLA. “People held in jail who have not been convicted of any crime should not be denied their vote.” As the number of prison inmates grow, he said the population has become more politically significant, making the issue all the more pressing. Allowing prisoners to vote, he added, keeps the inmate connected to his or her community, making for an easier transition once they complete their sentence or are found not guilty. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Graduated auto levy ‘worth considering’ continued from front page

A vehicle levy — possibly ranging from $10 to $40 per vehicle — is b e i n g p ro p o s e d by TransLink to serve as that second source but it’s unclear how it would be applied. TransLink last fall proposed a vehicle levy that would vary based on the car’s carbon footprint — it would be low for an efficient hatchback or hybrid and steep for a gas-guzzling SUV. That’s again an option this time, but officials say it’s not set in stone. D e l t a M ayo r a n d Metro board chair Lois Jackson argues the levy, dubbed a Transportation Improvement Fee, should instead vary based on the level of local transit service. “It should be more expensive in Vancouver, B u r n a by — p l a c e s where you do have 15-minute service,” she said. “People in outlying areas with no service should pay a lesser fee for the vehicle levy, because they’re having to pay already with tax on gasoline. That’s their contribution because they have to have a vehicle or two vehicles in their family.” Many residents with next-to-no bus service also pay $200 or more on their property taxes towards TransLink, Jackson said. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts also backs a graduated vehicle levy. She said it should apply only when local transit service is well developed — areas such

as Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. It wouldn’t apply in faster-growing areas like Surrey, she suggested, but those areas would instead raise money for TransLink through new development cost charges when new subdivisions are developed. Since the Burrard Peninsula is mostly built-out, such fees would play little to no role there, Watts said. “It’s about being equitable and fair,” she said. It’s not good enough to simply complain about the various funding mechanisms under consideration, Watts said.

TOLLING NEXT A million more people are coming to the Lower M a i n l a n d ove r t h e next couple of decades, 70 per cent of them to the South of Fraser or northeast sector, she noted. “You have to make a choice,” Watts said. “Do you want another half a million cars on the road with more congestion? Or do you want to put a better transportation system in place so we won’t have those problems?” Watts was among the majority of mayors who last week supported the proposed funding strategy, while Jackson was one of eight who voted against it, fearing the vehicle levy or other secondary source might not be ultimately supported by the province, forcing an increase in TransLink’s property tax to make up the difference. “For the longer term

Some mayors are arguing that municipalities where transit service is more developed should pay a higher car levy — instead of basing the fee on auto emissions. there has to be a conversation around tolling,” Watts added. “South of the Fraser is disproportionately penalized through the tolling policy in place.” Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said the region needs to look hard at tolling existing bridges using more modest tolls. He said a graduated vehicle levy that is much reduced in underserved suburbs is worth considering. “We’ve been subsi-

dizing Vancouver and Burnaby transit service for many years South of the Fraser and it’s time other people shared the load.” But Fassbender said it’s not clear to him how such a system would work. “What happens as transit expands? Does the levy go up in those areas to be a disincentive to drive? People are looking for simplistic solutions. But we need to do a lot more homework on how those pieces fit

together.”

OPPOSITION B C C o n s e r v a t ive P a r t y l e a d e r Jo h n Cummins last week denounced the two-cent gas tax hike, which he said will be “rubbing salt in the wounds” of commuters who already pay high gas taxes, the

carbon tax and soon face the tolling of the Port Mann Bridge. “To penalize people who have to get to work by car because there’s no transit available is simply not the way to solve the problem,” he said. Cummins would not say what new funding source for TransLink he would support, instead suggesting that money for transit could somehow be found elsewhere in the provincial budget.

He said corporate sponsorship of rapid transit stations may be one partial solution. It’s no surprise area mayors are supporting the gas tax increase, he said. “The province wears it, not the mayor who’s going to face re-election.” The B.C. Chamber of Commerce backed the funding plan, saying the transit upgrades will be a boon for investment. Chamber president John Winter said it’s critical, however, that road pricing (a much b ro a d e r s y s t e m o f tolling not limited to bridges) be made a longterm revenue source for TransLink. “Given the projected growth in the region, including road pricing into a direct traffic demand management system will be crucial,” he said. “Road pricing allows for an element of choice for businesses and commuters which does not exist in either the gas tax or vehicle levy systems.”

More warning: mayor to Hydro THE TRI-CITY NEWS

One week after downed power lines in the Fraser River caused traffic gridlock and risked potential injury to motorists and rescue services, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart met with BC Hydro executives who, he said, admitted “dropping the ball” that night. Stewar t sat down with BC Hydro VPs and representatives from Coquitlam RCMP, city staff and the fire department Monday for what he called a “postmortem” discussion about the potentially catastrophic events of one week before. “They dropped the ball on informing the communities that were affected of the risks associated with the erosion of the towers on this line,” Stewart said, noting that BC Hydro had concer ns about the larger 500kv towers connecting Surrey and Coquitlam across the Fraser River potentially collapsing almost two weeks before the adjacent, smaller 230kv tower collapsed into the river on the Surrey side, threatening to pull down towers in Coquitlam. “It was clear that the 500kv line deserved some attention even though that’s not the one that collapsed,” Stewart said. “We could have done an even better job in response had we been able to put our mind to the worst case scenarios a week and a half before this happened.” BC Hydro did not return calls from The TriCity News before deadline Thursday. The second lesson that came out of the meeting between the city and the power authority was that lines of communication need to be opened up between the two immediately once a problem like this happens, Stewart said. The Surrey tower collapsed into the river at around 9 p.m. while the river’s current on the downed lines immediately started to pull on the nearest tower on the Coquitlam side, between Leeder Avenue and Burbidge Street, bending it towards the water. Despite setting up a mobile command post with fire and rescue services and RCMP on the Coquitlam side to deal with the potential collapse of the hydro line system almost immediately after the accident, Mayor Stewart said it was morning before they could get the proper authorities from BC Hydro to come to Coquitlam and make the necessary decision to cut down the strained

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart believes the city should have had more warning that power lines were at risk from toppling transmission towers because of river erosion. On July 4, one tower did collapse, although not the one that was under surveillance. lines. “Hydro set up their command centre where the damage was, which was on the south shore, and not where the enormous risk was, which was on the north shore. Hydro is very good at getting power restored but it can be recognized

at this point that the bigger problem — the problem with wider spread consequences — was the risk of collapse of the towers on the north shore.” Stewar t said that after “several hours of trying to get hydro’s attention,” during which

the mayor, the RCMP and rescue services made the decision to close down Highway 1, Lougheed Highway and United Boulevard to protect the travelling public from falling towers and power lines, he was finally able to get David Lebeter, BC Hydro’s

senior VP of transmission and distribution to assess the damage. “At that time, the decision was made at around 3 or 4 a.m. that the solution would be to cut the wires and drop all the cables across the river and the cables across the freeway.” That decision was carried out at 5 a.m., eight hours after the tower’s collapse. “We owe a duty when these things happen to examine them very closely for what lessons can be learned for when a much more significant disaster strikes us — and it will,” Stewart said. On T hursday, BC Hydro was burying the collapsed 20-storey, 200,000-lb tower under large rocks where it lay in the Fraser River, and will consider removing it at a later date. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Library patrons rack up the overdue fines Whopping $82,809 paid last year to PMPL By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody library book borrowers paid a whopping $82,809 in late fees last year, but with the growing shift towards late-fee-free ebooks and online video streaming, money like that could soon be a thing of the past. “We try not to think of late fines as revenues,” said Port Moody library deputy director, Andree Duval. “But because we are getting paid that money, it does appear on the revenue line.” In fact, late fees were the third largest item on the revenue line for the library in 2010, right behind $1.35 million in funding from the city and $151,757 from the province. The next largest revenue generator for the library according to its 2010 annual report, was

its participation in the InterLINK lending program which allows anyone with a library card from one of 18 Lower Mainland area library systems from Vancouver to Pemberton, Lillooet to Hope, to borrow, return and transfer holdings to and from any participating branch free of charge. When a non-resident borrows or requests a transfer from the Port Moody library, that library gets a payment from the InterLINK program for having it. The idea is that the system encourages libraries to keep their collections up-to-date and in tune with demand. In 2010, Port Moody earned $49,313 from InterLINK through non-resident loans. Duval added that many Tri-City residents don’t realize too that their local library card can be used to borrow books at just about any public library in the province. Under the recent pro g ram called BC OneCard, if you’ re

This project has two phases of construction with different detours for each. Each phase will take approximately four weeks to complete. This is the phase 1 detour plan. Trucks will stay on Coast Meridian Road during the detours and will not be directed to the detour routes, there will be intermittent closures for ten minutes at a time. The detours will only be in place during construction hours, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Visit www.coquitlam.ca for more information on construction projects in Coquitlam.

which, in Canada, typically happens 50 years after the author’s death. For all the rest, the library has to loan each of its purchased copies one at a time just like a normal book. Duval said that the Port Moody library continues to adjust to the “balancing act” of meeting vastly different public demands for services while becoming more and more a kind of community centre where people want more than just to come and read and borrow. “We’re trying to balance the traditional versus the innovative,” Duval said, adding that library staff are looking at streaming online video to replace DVD loans in the future as well as connecting with library users via social networking to adapt to their needs. In 2010, Port Moody residents made 323,000 visits to the library, borrowing 604,000 items. Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam reports weren’t available at The News’’ press time.

Several neighbours told IHIT that they had heard shots at about about 9:30 p.m. the night before, but no 911 call was made. According to police Krake was killed in the location where he was found but Pound said none of the nearby homes were impacted by the shooting. Krake’s associate Reddy was killed in a gang-related shooting near 131 Street and 111 Avenue in North Surrey on Friday, June 24, shortly after 3:30 p.m. Police arrived on the scene to find the victim suffering from several gun shot wounds. Officers began CPR on the victim but he succumbed to his injuries. Like Krake, Reddy was also well-known to police throughout the Lower Mainland, said RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen. In 2006, he was charged in a home invasion in Chilliwack, where he assaulted a man and held a gun to his wife. Reddy and two masked accomplices wrongly believed the residence housed a marijuana grow operation and entered the property with handguns and a sawed-off shotgun After lengthy court delays Reddy was released on bail on the condition that he return to Surrey to live with his mother until his next court date. Anyone with information regarding this homicide who has not spoken to an investigator is asked to call IHIT’s tip line at 1-877-551-4448.

Royal fever Q WHAT WE THINK:

ort Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam MP and Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore got to hob nob with royalty last week when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine, toured Canada for their first official visit since their wedding. He was, by all accounts, a lucky man. The tour went off without a hitch and Canadians in several cities got to see the newlyweds, who appeared to enjoy the gruelling round of official occasions and public walk-abouts. Moore, front and centre during many occasions, did his best to represent B.C. in what was otherwise a non-event for west coasters. The good news is the visit pushed the Vancouver Canuck riot off the front page. We don’t know what was said or done during some of the quieter moments off-stage, but we trust Moore represented his constituents and British Columbians with aplomb. It appears that Canadians haven’t given up their enthusiasm for the monarchy.

A few crazy ideas to simplify transportation AS I SEE IT Richard Dal Monte

hat’s it going to take to get you out of your car and your car out of traffic? Carrot or stick? Cheap transit fares or expensive gasoline? Free Stanley Cup tickets? Here’s another currency TransLink, civic leaders and provincial politicians should tap to help people and goods move more easily in the Lower Mainland: crazy ideas. And by “crazy ideas,” I mean transportation suggestions that are a little bit outside the norm, not downright nutty proposals such as stringing a gondola up Burnaby Mountain. (Oh, wait...) After all, anyone who has travelled and experienced transportation as a driver, transit user, cyclist or pedestrian in different cities has come across something that makes them say, “I wish we had that at home.” I’ve been fortunate to travel — and drive and

take public transit — in the U.S. and Europe a number of times in the last half-dozen years, and each location has insights to offer the frustrated Metro Vancouver driver. Such as... • SoCal signs: The Southern California freeway system is much maligned — and there is much to malign about six lanes of solid traffic and stupidly aggressive drivers — but one thing it does well is signage. There, even without GPS, if you know roughly where you’re going, clearly labelled signs will help you get there — and they’ll give you plenty of notice. Contrast that with signs on Highway 1, which even locals have trouble following. And while I’m complaining, try driving to Coquitlam from YVR: You have to follow the signs for Tsawwassen, Seattle, Surrey, Delta and New Westminster — but you also have to know to follow those signs, so good luck, tourists, and enjoy Annacis Island! Crazy idea: Good signage. • Scottish roundabouts: I. Love. The. Roundabout. I hate waiting in line anytime, anywhere, for anything. The roundabout, in the areas of Scotland where I’ve driven, seem

to keep traffic moving, although I will acknowledge that the ones with five lanes feeding into eight streets are intimidating without the patient guidance of a spouse who can navigate, and they all take some getting used to. Crazy idea: Roundabouts (I vote for anywhere along Johnson Street or Pinetree Way, where the city of Coquitlam’s idea of traffic control seems to be “Hey, let’s install another light.”) • Italian pasta: No, that’s not a euphemism. I think every driver would be less stressed if he ate well. I’m not sure we have anything to learn about transportation from my family’s homeland — the northern Italian roads I’ve driven aren’t considerably better or worse than ours here, although they have a few roundabouts — but drivers there have a way of making life easier on city streets: At a red light, they will move to the right of a lane so if anyone wants to speed past on a Ducati or in a Fiat when the light turns green, they can do so and get out of the way. Crazy idea: Did I mention pasta? And naps, long naps after lunch. A couple more suggestions:

• Trucker lanes: Many people who don’t drive in HOV lanes hate them because they think they’re not sufficiently used. My crazy idea is that they become commercial vehicle lanes from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day, so trucks and vans and other vehicles used to move goods — i.e., the economy — can blast along outside of peak commuter travel hours. • Cheap transit: Give ’em flat fees — $1 for kids, teens and seniors, $1 per zone (with a $2 minimum) for everyone else. Yes, it would be expensive to subsidize but such a move would have to be seen as a long-term investment in changing our transportation culture — something that’s crucial to keeping the Lower Mainland from becoming a scenic but frequently wet parking lot. And the final crazy idea: Give TransLink the money and power it needs to make big changes. As it stands, TransLink, like school boards, seems to have just enough authority to provide a convenient scapegoat for the provincial government. And what do goats like? Carrots, not sticks.

FACE TO FACE: Should schools, hospitals pay carbon taxes?

Money could go to services H

e haunts us still. Gordon Campbell, that is. The former premier may be packing his bags for London, but, for better or worse, he is leaving his tax polices behind. We all know about the slender thread by which the controversial HST currently hangs. Less wellknown but no less significant is Campbell’s carbon tax, which jumped by more than a penny at the beginning of the month and now adds five-and-a-half cents to the cost of every litre of gasoline that motorists buy at the pumps. Unlike last week’s proposal by Metro Vancouver mayors to levy a two-cent gas tax to help pay for the Evergreen Line, the carbon tax accomplishes little. In fact, it now seems to have been less about improving the province’s environment and more about improving Campbell’s image, so he could cast himself as a Schwarzeneggerworthy green crusader. While it’s admirable that the B.C. Liberals cut personal and corporate tax rates to offset the extra burden created by the carbon taxes they heaped onto on gasoline and other fuels, the green levies simply aren’t having the effect they were designed to have. In the key area of automobile usage, for example, the higher

pump price caused by the carbon tax was supposed to force B.C. motorists to drive less. But this hasn’t happened, meaning there’s been no benefit to the environment. Instead, British Columbians have simply had to divert more of their income to pay for transportation. Thanks to Campbell’s machinations, the B.C. Liberal government’s entire energy policy is a mess. He stuck B.C. Hydro with bad deals forcing it to pay astronomical prices for alternative energy, and Hydro’s billion-dollar “smart meter” program is an extravagant and needless exercise in eco-political correctness. And let’s not forget that, in a misguided desire to see the government become ‘carbon neutral,’ Victoria is forcing public institutions, such as school districts and municipal governments, to buy ‘carbon offsets,’ primarily from private corporations. The Fraser Health Authority, for example, has had to spend almost $1 million on such offsets. Surely, this money would be better spent in reducing waiting times in the Emergency Room than on a program that amounts to little more than carnival shell game in which the consumer and taxpayer always seem to lose.

ndividual British Columbians are reluctant polluters. We don’t want to drive cars or fly in airplanes that spew out CO2. General Motors, Boeing, Bombardier and others provide us the conduits through which we pollute. We really need a program of graduated but aggressive government insistence and support to encourage industry to greenness. We could call the program “Cap and Insist.” Until we are willing to tackle big polluters however, tepid support for a carbon tax makes some sense. Having a carbon tax is like helping remove barnacles from Christopher Columbus’s ships; it doesn’t do much, but it makes a statement to climate change deniers and their flat earth society ancestors, that we indeed believe that humans have caused global warming and that the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria won’t sail off the edge of the Earth. So, what about B.C.’s carbon tax? If the only way we can avoid insisting that industry take some responsibility for climate change is to institute a carbon tax, it should at least do two things. It should encourage us to use alternate energy sources, and its revenues should fund environmental initiatives. B.C.’s carbon tax does neither. Revenues from our Tea Party in-

spired carbon tax go to tax cuts rather than CO2 mitigating initiatives. If carbon tax revenues went directly to fund transit, SkyTrain, or environmental initiatives, the tax might be seen as helpful. Unfortunately, B.C.’s carbon tax is lost in the litany of fee increases, tax burden shifts, and service charges that hit B.C. household budgets like a boxer working the speed bag. Outrageously, B.C.’s cash starved hospitals and schools are required under B.C.’S carbon tax to buy carbon offsets from business. This year, hospitals, schools, and other public institutions, barely able to operate let alone retrofit facilities, paid big business over $18 million to buy carbon offsets. Our paying five cents more per litre for gas seems to be having little effect on melting icecaps, droughts in Africa, floods in the prairies, wet Junes in B.C., and tornadoes in the U.S. Still, a properly conceived carbon tax, although it would likely have little effect on the environment, could be invaluable in funding transportation and environmental initiatives around B.C. Now where could we possibly get $400,000 for the Nevergreen line?

Premier gives nod to 2-cent gas tax hike Minister says he has Clark’s full support in deal with mayors By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says he has the full support of Premier Christy Clark in agreeing to Metro Vancouver mayors’ plan for a two-cent gas tax increase for TransLink. The province’s support of the tax hike was called into question Monday when Clark told a radio station she’s concerned about the affordability for motorists. Without the extra gas tax, which would generate $40 million a year to help fund the Evergreen Line and other transit upgrades, the fragile deal to get the stalled SkyTrain extension to Coquitlam built would likely collapse. “I stand behind wh a t I ’ ve c o m m i t -

Fireworks planned in Coquitlam T he company behind the successful Canada Day fireworks display at Lafarge Lake will be shooting off pyrotechnics again in Coquitlam. Lori M a c K a y, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture services, told the recreation committee this week that Archangel Fireworks Inc. has already been retained to top off next year’s July 1 party. The annual holiday event drew up to 70,000 people and cost $95,000 — $20,000 of which was spent on the 20-minute light spectacular that was set to music; the city also received a $6,000 grant from Canadian Heritage for the show. Wi n n i p e g - b a s e d Archangel represented Canada when it clinched the HSBC Celebration of Light competition in 2007 and 2008 in Vancouver’s English Bay, and placed second the next year. Wendy Wiederick, the city’s community services manager, said her department will ask council to consider a July 1 party of the same scale for next year, as part of its 2012 budget deliberations in November. Last year’s July 1 fete was criticized for being too small for the 20,000 participants. jwarren@tricitynews.com

ted to,” Lekstrom said Wednesday, adding he has spoken with the premier and ensured they’re both on the same page. “Nobody likes new taxes — I would concur with that.” But he said the mayors can count on the province legislating the fuel tax increase this fall — as he promised — provided mayors formally vote for it in a pending

financial supplement after public consultation and review by the TransLink commissioner. “I will not waver one inch,” Lekstrom said. “This has gone on far longer CLARK than I think the public wanted.” Clark has also penned a letter to mayors pledging her support, he con-

firmed. Both the proposed gas tax hike and the prospect of either a $10-to-$40 vehicle levy or a second regional carbon tax to support TransLink’s expansion have stoked fierce objections from motorists who say they already pay too much for gas.

A secondary source beyond the gas tax is needed to generate a total of $70 million for the full package of transit upgrades TransLink is proposing. Mayors will be asked to commit to the funding supplement this fall even though the secondary source will not yet be approved by the province. If it ultimately falls through, a property tax increase of $23

per average home would take effect in 2013. Clark previously told News 1130 she understands people aren’t excited about paying more for gas and that her focus is on how “we make life more affordable for people rather than less affordable.” While several mayors last week voted against the plan, most of the dissenters are worried about its potential to

trigger a property tax increase and still stand behind increasing the gas tax. The package of upg rades includes an express bus route in Surrey on King George Boulevard, a new Langley-White Rock route, RapidBus service on Highway 1, more frequent SeaBus service, SkyTrain station upgrades and generally enhanced transit service.

SkyTrain to PoCo pondered in transportation plan By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Shovels for the Evergreen Line may not be in the ground yet but the city of Port Coquitlam is already looking at ways of extending SkyTrain east. As the city prepares its master transportation plan update, staff and consultants are incorporating into the document ways of lobbying higher levels of government and TransLink to bring rapid transit to PoCo. In the meantime, the plan will outline improvements to the road and bus network to connect the municipality to the Evergreen Line, maximizing PoCo residents’ ability to take advantage of the project.

B.C. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Port Coquitlam would like to have a SkyTrain station of its own (such as this Coquitlam Central Station in an artist rendering) and will be lobbying seniors levels of government for an Evergreen Line extension. “Our understanding is that the Evergreen Line is a committed project and will be in service within the [plan’s] timeline,” said Dave Currie, PoCo’s

manager of transportation. “We will be looking at how we develop a transit system to connect with the line.” The comprehensive update to PoCo’s master

providing some project prioritization for the next five years for each of the modes. That is very important for our budgeting process.” Preparation and background work for the plan has already begun and this fall the city will begin its preliminary consultations. Stakeholder workshops with organization like the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition, Coast Mountain Bus Company

and TransLink will be held during the second phase of the process along with several public open houses. The city will also be engaging the public online through Facebook and Twitter and a survey has been made available on the city’s website. Currie said public feedback is important to the development of the document, in order to identify key issues and areas of concerns. Once

these are outlined the city can begin setting goals and objectives to address improvements. The original master transpor tation plan was adopted by the city in 2000, but according to a city staff report, significant changes to the city’s infrastructure necessitates a plan update.

“If it means that the 30,000 residents that have moved in to Burke Mountain have to go around to the Lougheed Highway or have to go up Mariner [Way] and along Como Lake [Avenue] then, oh well, not my problem,” Rockwell said. All councillors seemed to agree on that point, with Coun. Bob Elliott saying those communities east of Port Moody “really don’t give a damn about us anyway,” with what he called their insistence on rapid growth and development while ignoring their traffic burden on Port Moody. TransLink spokesperson Ken Hardie warned that withdrawing from the MRN would have financial implications for Port Moody, as the city would lose out on maintenance and improvement money for those streets currently under the MRN. The Murray-Clarke Connector plan first took shape in the 1980s but it wasn’t until 2007 that TransLink voted to build it and subsequently put up $50 million toward its construction. Last year the connector suddenly dropped from TransLink’s budget, the transit authority saying there was no business case for the connector. At Port Moody’s insistence, that business case was studied and the report brought to council Tuesday night. However, Mayor Joe Trasolini called the study so full of assumptions and falsehoods that he would not justify it by even beginning to poke holes in it in council. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

transportation plan will begin this summer and will ultimately be used to guide the city’s infrastructure decisions for the next two decades. A hired consultant will assess the city’s current transportation levels and will begin seeking the public’s feedback this fall. The master transportation plan, which is expected to be brought before council in the spring of 2012, will cover all areas of the city’s transportation infrastructure — from bike lanes to road projects — and will be worked out in conjunction with the region’s transportation authorities. “The plan will address and deal with the long term,” Currie said. “But it will also look at

One small spark can ignite a forest or destroy a park. As we face another hot, dry summer, Fire/Rescue teams remind all park users that outdoor burning and campﬁres are not permitted and it is important to watch for bans on smoking or using barbecues.

Tips to Reduce Risk of Fire Damage 9 Prune shrubs and trees, and remove deadfall or woodpiles near your home. 9 Keep your grass mowed. 9 Ensure that your roof, gutters and eaves are free of combustible debris and prune back overhanging branches. 9 Make sure chimneys meet current building codes and have spark arrestors. 9 Contact BC Hydro if vegetation is near or touching power lines.

To Prepare for an Emergency 9 Be involved and participate in emergency preparedness activities at home, school or work. 9 Practice your family plan with every member in your household, including an out of area contact. 9 Plan and know alternate departure routes from your home and neighbourhood. 9 Ensure your address is clearly visible for quick identiﬁcation by emergency services. 9 Contact your local Emergency Program Ofﬁcer for emergency preparedness courses and information. 9 Volunteer your services, knowledge and expertise in your community. Be smart this summer. Don’t let one careless moment destroy what nature has taken centuries to create.

Drugs, gambling led to crime spree Pastor and family man led a double life until he was caught By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A man who pled guilty to a string of violent robberies in the Tri-Cities and across the Lower Mainland was a former pastor who celebrated his ninth wedding anniversary with his wife and children only hours before his crime spree began. In last June, at Port C o q u i t l a m p rov i n c i a l court, Joon Woo Lim was sentenced to 22 months in jail, but new details are emerging about the man and what led up to his twoday rampage. According to court papers released this week, Lim is originally from Seoul,

Ko r e a , a n d m ove d t o Canada in 1993 with his father, who was a pastor with the Apostolic Church. Lim was also ordained as a sub-deacon. Following his marriage in 2002, Lim had two children and opened a sushi restaurant in 2005. But according to Judge David St. Pierre’s reasons for sentencing, financial pressures on the family began to take their toll and the 33-year-old father began to develop a gambling problem. He was introduced to drugs by a chef at his restaurant in 2010, the court documents read, and his life began to spiral out of control. After having dinner with his family on May 4, Lim consumed a large amount of methamphetamine, stole a car, and drove around the Surrey area. At 5:20 a.m. he approached a woman at the

Fireside Coffee House and, with his face masked, demanded money from her. Less than an hour later Lim was in North Va n c o u ve r, wh e re h e rushed a second woman with a tire iron and robbed her of a backpack. Later in the morning he struck a third woman with a tire iron but was unable to rob her. Witnesses saw Lim driving erratically down Highway 1 on the way to Coquitlam where he assaulted an 81-year-old woman who was on her way to a hairdressing appointment. She required stitches to her head and suffered severe bruising as a result of the attack and had several hundred dollars stolen. Lim then returned to Surrey where he switched vehicles and spent some time with his family. His illegal activities resumed at about 10 p.m. on

spree. Lim’s wife described her husband as a loving father who had become “plagued by stress, anxiety and this intractable gambling addiction,” the court documents read. He also wrote letters of apology to the families of the victims and gave a full confession to police shortly after his arrest. “I accept that he has genuine remorse for his actions,” St. Pierre said. “He has also made an emotional plea here in court expressing his immense regret for his conduct.” Lim pleaded guilty to four counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery and was ordered to enter a drug rehabilitation program. He will serve three years probation following his release from jail and he is prohibited from possessing a firearm for at least ten years.

When the female driver got out to assess the damages Lim, wearing a ski mask, assaulted her, striking her more than 20 times. He was apparently scared off by her screams, according to the court documents. A short time later Lim approached another woman in Vancouver who was carrying a six-month-old baby. He threatened to kill the child if she did not hand over some money and when she complied, he struck her with a hammer. Coquitlam RCMP were able to track down Lim’s car and arrest him near his Surrey home with a mask, gloves and several stolen items in his possession. Police believe that Lim ingested three bags of methamphetamine over the course of his 36-hour crime

Like many things that were here in the 1990s and then disappeared, the College Park Community Association has returned. But don’t call it a comeback — this is an all new set of community organizers that have come together in the wake of the former group. And because this Port Moody neighbourhood has gone through considerable turnover and transformation in the past decade, this College Park group 2.0 wants to address those changes. Not least of which was the 2007 closure of College Park elementary. More than just a school, it also served as a de facto gathering place for area residents. Anna Hissen, a College Park resident and the founder and president of the new association, said that while there are still some 40-year-plus residents of the neighbourhood who come to the new group’s meetings at the Glenayre community centre, surprisingly, no one from the previous association has made contact with them. “I’m not even sure who the old people were,” Hissen said, “but there’s definitely a big cross-section that comes out to our meetings now.” The decision to revive the community association was an accidental one that began when Hissen set out to fix a neighbourhood eyesore, she said. T he “Welcome to College Park” sign at the corner of Glenayre Drive and College Park

neighbourhood later this summer. This time, College Park’s neighbour, Suncor Energy, has even made a donation to the cause. Proving they’re more than just a community association in name alone, Hissen said the group is also starting to work with the city and Port Moody Police Department to address local issues like a recent upsurge in property crimes and traffic problems in the area in an effort to make College Park a better neighbourhood for all residents, association members or not. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Now meeting every t wo m o n t h s at t h e Glenayre centre, the association began this year with a neighbourhood Easter egg hunt and last month hosted a very well-attended pool party, organizers said. And people are joining them online too. The group has a growing list of followers on its Facebook site and also operates a College Park neighbourhood website, college-park.ca. Recently, the city of Port Moody gave approval to the community group to build another sign to demarcate the northern side of the

Way was placed there by the previous community association, but had fallen into disrepair by late last year. “We thought it just needed a coat of paint, but it needed total rebuilding.” And so, while soliciting help for the sign rebuild, Hissen said neighbours naturally stepped in to help and soon wanted to take even things further. Pretty soon, the residents of College Park were using the refurbished sign to advertise neighbourhood events and meetings and, by then, the College Park Community Association was reborn.

TRI-CITYY MONEY & BIZ Security business expands World of cloak and dagger secrecy not too far away in the Tri-Cities By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Cloaked in a remote cor ner of Coquitlam’s industrial southwest, there’s a multimillion-dollar team of “risk managers” — ex-cops, former special ops and private eyes — that until now, you weren’t supposed to know about. There’s no name on the door at the end of Fawcett Avenue, just a CCTV camera and a buzzer. “In fact, we’re not even here,” says Ken Cahoon, Canpro Global’s director and managing partner with Robert Burns, CEO. “This is an empty office. But we are within a hundred yards of here, I can tell you that.” The high secrecy around their operation isn’t without warrant, as former clients of Canpro include diplomats, heads of state, A-list celebrities, known gangsters and judicial authorities. And what started here — or rather, very near here — as a private investigations firm 26 years ago, now has offices in countries around the world and has branched into every aspect of “risk management.” And if that term sounds intentionally vague or overly broad, it is. But Cahoon and Burns have made a successful business out of mitigating every type of risk to a business’s bottom line while maintaining utmost discretion. That means

everything from teaching occupational safety, drug screening and loss prevention to doing private investigations, search and rescue and VIP security. And while much of the intrigue surrounding the company centres on its teams of security professionals in conflict zones from Iraq to Afghanistan to Sudan — its “underwater knife-fighters,” as Burns calls Canpro’s most elite security squads — the CEO is quick to distance that part of Canpro from the “mercenary army” reputation of other such security firms. “We’re selling a Canadian solution. It’s less offensive, more proactive and all about mitigating risk as opposed to trying to face it,” Burns says. “And it was actually us that went to the UN and asked that they bring international standards for private security.” Now Canpro Global is partnered with the United Nation’s Office of Drugs and Crime to develop and enforce those standards. And if that wasn’t big enough news for the little Coquitlam private-eye firm that could, just last month Canpro partnered with Toronto-based investigations firm King-Reed & Associates to form the largest risk mitigation and investigation firm in the country and one of the biggest in the world with 450 employees in 23 offices and combined annual revenues totalling more than $40 million. “We were in 14 countries doing operations last year,” Burns says, listing everything from rescue consulting for South American mining firms to protecting Canadian and foreign diplomats in Asia and the Middle East.

But for Burns and Cahoon, one of their most rewarding jobs lately wasn’t a risky mission into a war torn country but something right here in their own backyard. At the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, Canpro literally had its fingerprints all over every part of the Games’ venue, medal and VIP security. “Of course, it wasn’t all hard security dropping from helicopters,” Burns says. In fact, much of it was pretty low key and leisurely protection work, like riding snowmobiles in Whistler with model Cindy Crawford, hanging out with Wayne Gretzky or watching the men’s gold medal hockey game with actor Nicole Kidman and her country music crooning husband Keith Urban. So what’s the newest big threat to businesses and governments that needs mitigating? At the bleeding edge of modern risk management, Cahoon says, isn’t so much protecting against violent criminals or workplace theft, but something called online reputation risk management. That means protecting a company from the brand fallout caused by cyber attacks or by one of its own employees unwittingly “oversharing” something about their personal life or about the company on Twitter or Facebook that could negatively affect the company’s bottom line. It’s a new dimension to risk management, and with their headquarters for online investigations already right here in Coquitlam, Canpro seems to have it, like everything else, locked up. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

AROUND AND ABOUT: Things to do on the North Shore

Festivals abound FESTIVALS Nothing says summer like a fun-filled festival, and this year there will be no shortage on the North Shore. Be sure to mark the weekend of July 16 and 17 on your calendar for the fifth annual Party at the Pier celebration. This popular event, sponsored by the Lower Lonsdale Business Association, is always a gas. This year’s party includes live jazz and swing music, children’s entertainers, Bollywood dancers, and interpretive tours by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives. (www.lowerlonsdalebusinessassociation.com) SummerFest, the North Shore’s Waterfront Festival, will also bring children’s entertainment, dance classes, farmers’ markets and live concerts to Lonsdale Quay every weekend this summer from June to September (www.lonsdalequay.com). The ever-popular Caribbean Days Festival returns to North Vancouver July 24 and 25 at Waterfront Park. The event, sponsored by the Trinidad and Tobago Cultural Society of BC, will also feature a waterfront party at the Quay on July 23, featuring live reggae, soca and calypso music. (www.caribbeandays. ca). Across the Capilano River, West Vancouver’s Harmony Arts Festival will run from July 29

to August 7 at locations along the waterfront. For more than two decades this North Shore celebration of the arts has included everything from studio tours, art markets and live demonstrations, to film screenings and concerts by some of Canada’s hottest acts. (www.harmonyarts.ca).

FOR THE DOGS Ambleside dog park is fun for everyone — senior dogs, puppies, dog owners and dog lovers. Every day a crowd of pedestrians heads off to this popular West Vancouver beach with its dog trail and spectacular ocean views to give Fido some air and a chance to romp in the salty water. To get there, cross the Lions Gate Bridge and go toward West Vancouver. You will be on Marine Drive. Continue west on Marine Drive to 13th Avenue. Turn south, left at 13th and go one block to Ambleside Park. In addition to the dog park, there are playing fields, pitch and putt golf, a snack shop, skateboard park, and a pond. For other North Shore dog hikes, visit http://www.bcpassport. com/vancouver-vital-information/north-shoredog-hikes.aspx

KAYAKING This summer adventure begins with taking the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Bowen Island. The ride is only 20 minutes but it takes you to another world. You arrive in Snug Cove with the Union Steamship Company Marina to port and the Bowen Island Marina to starboard. Sailors will be tempted to turn left to

Cafes and green markets continued from front page

It doesn’t all have to be climbing, running and nature... does it? For those interested in slightly more urban activities, or for those who just want to give the hiking boots a day off, a day in Lower Lonsdale may be the answer. In August, Vancouver’s Sachiyo Takahashi will bring three performances from her “Microscopic Live Cinema-Theatre” series to LoLo’s Café for Contemporary Art cafe. The artist uses small found objects to populate a microscopic play, which is simultaneously projected on an adjacent wall. The work plays with fable-like narratives, the imagination and our forgotten emotions. Visit www.cafeforcontemporaryart.com for dates and show times.

North Shore Green Markets likely has what you’re looking for. Throughout the summer, the markets will maintain three locations — Wednesdays at Civic Plaza (city hall) from 2 to 7 p.m., in Lynn Valley on Thursdays from 2 to 7 p.m., and Parkgate on Saturdays from 10 to 4 p.m. North Shore Green Markets will also be hosting a night market at Shipbuilders Square on Friday evenings in Lower Lonsdale. The night market will feature six hours of live music and 70 vendors selling local food (hot and cold) and produce for sale. Face painters

and jugglers will also make an appearance. The night markets will run from 5 to 11 p.m. Be sure to make it out early – organizers anticipate 5,000 attendees per night market.

ATTRACTIONS They’re North Shore tourist institutions, but if you haven’t walked across the Capilano or Lynn Canyon suspension bridges then this is your summer to do it. The main attraction this summer is Cliffwalk — a platform jutting out from the cliff face, providing visitors with a bird’seye view from 70-metres above the canyon.

Scheduled to open June 3, Cliffwalk is already being billed as “a heart-stopping cliffside journey” and promises to become a favourite at Cap Bridge. Visit www. capbridge.com/ For those looking to satisfy their bridge-fix on a more regular basis, the free-of-charge Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is the place to be. Located in the heart of North Vancouver, the Lynn Canyon bridge offers more than just spectacular views. A short walk on the north side of the bridge is 30-foot pool, a popular choice among hikers and tourists. visit http:// lynncanyon.ca/

Metro to add new services to wring cash from parks

Dog obedience training, tent rentals among first offerings

THE MORE WHEN YOU SPEND $50 OR MORE* YOU SHOP, THE ON ALMOST ANYTHING IN THE STORE. MORE YOU

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Dog wash stations and event tent rentals are just some of the money-making ideas Metro Vancouver intends to explore as it opens up its regional parks to more commerce. Regional district officials have considered more than 100 possible ventures to turn a profit in area parks while adding new services. “We have to start thinking outside the box in terms of revenue,” parks committee chair Gayle Martin said. “We can’t always go to taxpayers for the things we want. This would help us enhance other parts of the parks with the revenue.” Work is already underway to launch a tent rental service that will charge market rates for the rental of event tents in Metro parks. “It could cost us initially $100,000 to invest in a tent inventory but in the first year we’re looking at a $60,000 payback,” Martin said. “So it’s paid back in a year and some months.” Until now rental firms charged clients up to $10,000 to rent a large tent but Metro got only a small $150 fee. Dog obedience training is to be tested this summer as a pilot project in Pacific Spirit Regional Park and is to be offered in six regional parks next year, turning an expected annual profit of $28,000. Over the longer term, the region could develop specialized dog services — such as business-run washing stations — that Martin said have proven popular in dog friendly parks in parts of the U.S. One San Francisco-area park is home to Mudpuppy’s Tub and Scrub, which offers highly pampered full service or do-it-yourself dog baths as well as toys and treats, with a specialty coffee cafe next door. “I could see it happening in Pacific Spirit, where we get a lot of dog walkers,” Martin said. Dog waste could also be collected and turned into fertilizer for sale, a staff report said. Negotiations are also underway with an operator to install vending machines at up to six parks that don’t already have food services. see PARKS PARKS,, page 31

An unfortunate incident over the Canada Day long weekend in which a six-month old puppy died after being left alone in a hot vehicle in Burnaby serves as an example of how quickly temperatures inside a vehicle can rise to dangerous â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sometimes fatal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; levels. What parents and pet owners may not know, and what the British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) would like everyone to know, is that it only takes minutes for your car to become a four-door furnace and a safety risk to vulnerable passengers such as children and pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cars sitting in the hot summer sun act like magnifying glasses, creating intense interior heat,â&#x20AC;? says Ken Cousin, BCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate vicepresident, road assist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interior temperatures can climb to over 60 degrees Celsius in just 10 to 20 minutes, despite windows or sunroofs being left slightly open or parking the car in the shade.â&#x20AC;? to According t h e Ve h i c l e C a b i n Temperatures Survey conducted by the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland in Australia, temperatures inside a car can increase by 50 percent within five minutes and 80 percent within 15 minutes. The Canada Safety Council also reports high temperatures in a confined space of a car can cause a child or pet to go into shock quickly, and circu-

lation to vital organs can fail. Each year, BCAA Road Assist rescues close to 300 children and pets from locked cars. Many of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;accidental lock-inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; calls attended by BCAA technicians occur while children playing with keys lock themselves inside the vehicle, or when drivers and their passengers become distracted while getting in and out of their vehicle. Car doors can close unexpectedly, locking young children or a pet in the car along with the car keys. BCAA receives about 100,000 requests from members each year to retrieve keys from inside locked cars. To avoid any chance of a child or family pet being harmed by the heat of a car this summer, BCAA encourages parents, caregivers and pet owners to play it safe and take the following precautions: â&#x20AC;˘ Never leave a child or pet alone in a car, even with the windows down or air conditioner on. â&#x20AC;˘ Leave your pets at home during hot summer days unless you need to take them to the veterinarian office, doggie day camp, or grooming salon. â&#x20AC;˘ When running errands, leave children with a responsible adult at home, or travel with a responsible passenger who can stay with children or pets while you complete your tasks. â&#x20AC;˘ If you drive a pickup truck, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave dogs in the truck bed. The heat can burn their feet. To learn more about BCAA visit www.bcaa.

Metro also plans to start charging $3.99 per download for the next version of its currently free iParks Explorer park info app, which staff estimate could earn the region more than $80,000 over the next year based on a projected 30,000 downloads. Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks now generate enough revenue to offset nine per cent of their operating costs and the regional district wants to boost that to 15 per cent over the next 10 years. Other ideas rated promising by Metro staff include upgrading picnic shelters to more deluxe all-weather structures that could be reservable for a fee. The region also plans to start charging commercial bus tours a fee to access parks. Longer ter m possibilities include rede-

veloping Metro-r un Camp Capilano and Minnekhada Lodge, which are now used mainly for weddings or gatherings by youth and service groups. Staff say both facilities could, if upgraded, be rented out at much more lucrative rates as corporate retreats, while continuing to serve existing users. Sapperton Landing Regional Park, on the Fraser River near New Westminster, could be developed into a retail, park and marina complex, the staff report suggested. Ideas like ziplines or pay-to-play water parks were considered by staff but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make their short list. Some of the services could be run directly by Metro Vancouver, while others might be contracted to private firms. Va r i o u s p r i v a t e companies are already pitching their own ideas

The Clan Sinclair Association of Canada congregated in Coquitlam last month, joining fellow Scots at the annual BC Highland Games and Scottish Festival at Town Centre Park. It was the first time the Sinclairs had met in western Canada. Pictured from left to right are: Michael Viens, Rosie Carver, Sir Malcolm Sinclair (Earl of Caithness), Michelle Carlisle, Jim Sinclair, Tim Renaud, Jim McWilliams and Rory Sinclair. For more information on the clan, visit www. clansinclaircanada.ca.

SWISS TIME A longtime Port Coquitlam resident and Vancouver teacher recently won the 2011 CAP Award for Excellence in teaching high school physics. Peter Vogel, who instructs at Notre Dame regional secondary school, earned the accolade for his 31 years in the classroom, VOGEL where — among other things — he has organized a contest that allows students to apply what they have learned to build a bridge made of 100 grams of balsa wood. As part of the award, Vogel travelled to Geneva, Switzerland to take part in a three-week physics teachers’ symposium, which ends next week.

HATCHERY CASH Members of the Port Moody Ecological Society last week recognized two deserving volunteers of the Noons Creek hatchery, which the society runs. The $1,500 Bill Nichols bursaries were awarded to Michael Vigurs, a mature student in BCIT’s fish, wildlife and recreation program, and Zakhar Kazmiruk, a recent immigrant who plans to study ocean sciences at UBC.

THANKS, PETE David Clark, Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation’s executive director, last month recognized Peter Irving, the foundation’s chair, for his 14 years on the board — including seven years in the top job. The foundation set up a Peter Irving Endowment in Health Care in his honour. Both Clark and Irving are leaving their respective posts, Clark on Aug. 1. Irving has been replaced by Alison Johansen of Port Coquitlam. At the AGM, Sheila Frances (Re/Max Frances & Hawthorne Team); Dennis Marsden (Westminster Savings); and Wim Vander Zalm (Art Knapp Plantland) were re-elected as directors for another two years. Ian Collopy (Canadian Western Bank); Mike Moserenko (emergency physician); Kevin Nishi (Smythe Radcliffe); and Pat Simpson (Macdonald Realty) were named to the board for the first time.

THREE G’S Three Tri-City high school graduates won national scholarships, worth $3,000 each, from the Miller Thomson Foundation this month. Marleis Bowering (Archbishop Carney regional secondary); Kimberley Chang (Gleneagle secondary); and Yuging “Cindy” Ding (Pinetree secondary) took the national awards.

MADE A WISH The 2011 graduation class at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary signed off with a bit of compassion at their commencement last month by granting a wish to a young boy with cancer. The grads raised $5,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation as part of their legacy project to buy a high-performance bike that will be hung from the boy’s hospital room ceiling; the bike will help him get through the next two years of cancer treatments. jwarren@tricitynews.com

At right, last month’s grand reopening of the renovated McDonald’s restaurant on Barnet Highway in Coquitlam poured in $4,288 for the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation. The cash came in via McHappy Day on June 25, with an equal amount going to the Ronald McDonald House. And below, Tri-City siblings Natalie, Courtney and Scott Yuzwa stripped to their skivvies for last weekend’s Underwear Affair to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation. Team Ollie, as they were known, collected nearly $1,000 for the cause; it was the fifth time they had participated in the sixth annual event in memory of their mother, who died from a rare form of uterine cancer five years ago. In total, the fundraiser saw more than 1,000 nearly-nude participants and brought in $630,000 for cancers below the waist. PHOTOS SUBMITTED

Creating Strathcona was no walk in the park GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds

A Day in the Life of Port Coquitlam 2011 Photo Contest

his Saturday, Parks Day in Canada, is a good time to celebrate 100th anniversary of British Columbia’s parks. Strathcona Park (named after Lord Strathcona, the railway promoter who drove the last spike at Craigellachie on Canada’s first transcontinental railway line) became our first provincial park when it was created in 1911. Thus began a rather complex and, often, troubled, history of protecting our province’s spectacular landscapes and rich diversity of plants and animals. No park better than Strathcona exemplifies this complicated and, sometimes, compromised process. In the early 1900s, rumours that the federal government wanted to create a new federal park in B.C. as well as lobbying by the local tourist industry convinced Premier McBride to fund a 1910 expedition into the wilderness areas of Vancouver Island with the goal of creating, instead, a provincial park. As a consequence, on March 1, 1911, the provincial government passed the Strathcona Park Act. Originally designated as a triangular piece of land to the west of the E&N Railway land grant, the first major

failing of Strathcona Park was that its boundaries did not follow watershed contours. Its main features included some spectacular waterfalls, the rugged spine of Vancouver Island including its highest peak, the Golden Hinde (elevation 2200 meters), and, on its western flanks, beautiful Buttle Lake which drains eventually to the Campbell River. With no nearby railway to bring visitors, road construction was seen as an immediate imperative. Such work was undertaken in 1912 with plans for lodge construction and steamboat services on Buttle Lake to follow. Ideas about park management in the 1910s were quite different than existing policies. To enhance the main road into Strathcona Park, hundreds of London Plane trees as well as mountain ash, chestnuts, and elms were planted. To further beautify the area, 300 pounds of broom seed (of three varieties including Scottish, Spanish and Portuguese), 8,000 ivy plants plus foxglove, periwinkle and many others were planted along the road. Some of these plants are now

known to be highly invasive species and contemporary efforts are focused on eradicating them from protected areas. However, the idea in 1911 was to create an attractive landscape that would appeal to visitors. The outbreak of World War I soon focused attention elsewhere and quickly brought such plans to a halt. Following the end of World War I in 1918, the Strathcona Park Act was amended to allow mining. In 1927, the act was amended again to permit the raising of water levels in its water courses. Despite this, in the decades that followed, the residents of B.C. developed a growing appreciation for Strathcona’s natural values. In 1939, all provincial parks were classified. A Class A Park, which apparently was applied to Strathcona, was the highest form of protection whereas in Class B parks, logging, mining and hydroelectric projectors were allowed. Class C Parks were very small parks which protected a unique feature. In 1953, construction of the Strathcona Dam impounded Upper Campbell Lake and backed water up into Buttle Lake which raised its level by eight meters and required logging along its shores. Not surprisingly, this led to considerable public outcry. Thus, in

Attention Local Shutterbugs! What’s a day in the life of Port Coquitlam? Here’s your chance to creatively interpret this theme for a photo contest running until Aug. 26.

Slightly lower in elevation than the Golden Hinde, the rugged Mount Colonel Foster (left side of photo) is one of several majestic peaks in Strathcona Park. Strathcona is a poignant reminder that the people interested in protecting the significant ecological spaces of B.C. must remain forever vigilant. 1957, Strathcona was reclassified at a Class B park and, to make matters worse, in 1959, the Westmin Mine opened at the southwest end of Buttle Lake. To appease critics, the provincial government created nature conservancies in three roadless wilderness areas of Strathcona, “parks within parks”, so to speak. However, logging

continued to be allowed in Strathcona throughout the 1960s. This was apparently justified (to some minds) because it allowed the acquisition of protected areas in Long Beach, China Beach, Rathtrevor and, finally, Cape Scott in 1967. Over time, Strathcona has had some positive additions. In 1968, 12,000 hectares of mostly

alpine meadows (and, thus, land with few forestry values) in the Forbidden Plateau area were added in 1968. On the west side, the Clayoquot Sound land use decision in 1995 added the entire Megin River and Talbot Creek watersheds down to tidewater. The various deals made on Strathcona Park have stiffened the

resolve of those who wish to protect parks in B.C. While Strathcona has returned to being designated as a Class A Park of 250,000 hectares, it also contains enclosed within its boundaries another “park within a park”, i.e., the 3328 hectare Class B StrathconaWestmin Park where zinc mining continues to this day right next to beautiful Myra Falls.

Soroptimist Int. of Tri Cities wish to express sincere appreciation to the amazing grade 4/5 students of Anmore Elementary School under the direction of Ms. Whifﬁn who has brought 5-6 students each month to the Warm Place for Women event for close to two years. This year the kids fundraised and presented a cheque to Soroptimist Int. of Tri Cities for $ 250.00 which was used for a recent Sports Day. Every month the kids compete for the opportunity of being chosen to attend the event as they love helping set up tables and chairs, serving the food and cleaning up. Their additional allocated duties include distributing rafﬂe tickets, wrapping cutlery, helping with the games and arranging the clothing. Also each month their Moms bring gently used clothing, assorted household and personal care items which are always appreciated. The monthly Warm Place for Women events hosted by Tri Cities Soroptimists have been a tremendous success over the past four years with approximately 40-50 women in need arriving for an evening of food, fun and friendship. Soroptimist members contribute time and energy shopping and preparing healthy full course meals.

Canna lily is a tropical beauty for your garden IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

n the heat of summer (should we be so lucky), we normally would be looking to add a little extra punch to our gardens, and there is one family of plants that has so much to offer but really doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Canna lilies have been around for a long time, but with interesting new foliage colours and blossoms, they’re experiencing a huge resurgence. Canna leaves that resemble those of bananas and flowers that look like ginger lilies add a refreshing tropical touch to any container or garden bed. The problem is we don’t use enough of them! I love cannas for their incredibly easy care. They not only thrive in the heat of summer but also, like dahlias, will carry your garden well into November. From a single tuberous root, they will develop into huge clumps, making a magnificent display. They also come in low (18 inches or 45cm), medium (3 feet or 90cm) and tall (6 feet or 180cm) sizes. Cannas can be used as foreground plantings or as giant background specimens. Cannas add drama. Their striking leaf colours and variegations create an opportunity for some fabulous combinations. There are dozens and dozens of canna varieties, but there are a few I’m really excited about. Black is still where it’s at, and there are a number of dark foliaged varieties. The master of black, however, is ‘Australia.’ This rather slender and elegant grower has almost black leaves with brilliant orange-red flowers. It’s definitely a ‘wow’ plant in my book! There’s one variety that I’ve had my eye on for some time now, and it’s called ‘Constitution.’ Its immense peach coloured flowers open above rich light grey-pink veined foliage. It’s a class act and would be quite at home surrounded by dwarf echinacea. Perhaps the most stunning of all cannas are the yellow and green varieties which, by the way, are all very similar. Striped ‘Bengal Tiger’, with its rich orange flowers, was one of the very first of the intense yellow and green striped varieties. ‘Pretoria’ looks almost identical with melon orange blooms and leaves similar to ‘Bengal Tiger’ but with a tiny red margin on the outside of its leaves. One of the newest introduc-

The colourful, tropical foliage of the canna lily makes it a dramatic addition to any garden. At this time of year, the long-lasting blooms can add interest for months until the frost returns.

tions is a very classy white flowered variety with green foliage called ‘Ermine’. The most popular of all the striped varieties is ‘Tropicana.’ It has intense green, orange and red striped foliage that changes intensity with the temperature and maturity of the leaves. Its orange flowers are a true compliment to its leaf colour. It’s just a great plant! Sometimes we simply get caught up in the foliage colours of cannas and overlook their exquisite blossoms. Some, in particular, are breathtaking. ‘Cleopatra’, with its most unusual red and yellow patterns, is one of the most sought after flowering forms. Today there are a whole series of designer colours such as peach, apricot and pink shaded varieties that blend in with our current colour schemes. Remember: cannas are well suited to both container and garden bed planting. They add both depth and vibrancy to any garden, but most of all, they can instantly add a magical touch of the tropics.

Blaze blunder allows Reds to rocket to first Langley penalized by PBL for using ineligible players By Gary Ahuja and Larry Pruner BLACK PRESS

In a blink, the Coquitlam Reds have bolted into first place. That’s largely because the Langley Blaze have been docked a dozen wins, dropping them from first place to sixth place in the B.C. Premier (16-18) Baseball League standings. The sanctions are the result of a protest filed against the Blaze by the Coquitlam Reds in late June. The Reds are winners of 14 straight and now sit tied for first with the Nanaimo Pirates, both at 29-13. With three games remaining in the PBL season, Langley now sits at 22-23 — instead of 34-11 — and in a fight to qualify for the post-season. The Reds protested that the Blaze had used ineligible players in the form of junior (Under-16) players who played in excess of 10 games at the Premier level. The players in question were Mason Cratty and Greg Rogers. PBL rules state that junior players may play a maximum of nine games at the premier (U-18) level and, any games after that, require them to have a permanent roster spot on the team’s PBL roster. Premier teams have an allotment of 22 roster spots and since Cratty and Rogers exceeded the nine-game limit, that pushed the Blaze to 24 players. As a result, the Blaze’s record was amended for that 17-game span –– they had gone 12-5, thus losing a dozen victories from their total. The violations began as of May 29 and June 8, respectively, and neither player can no longer play for the Jr. Blaze, the top team in the B.C. Junior Premier League. “If a junior player plays more than 10 games, he is a senior player [who] you have just hidden [on the junior roster],” said BCPBL president Ted Hotzak. “Some of the rules might

seem picky and trivial but... someone stretched it.” Langley, which was in California for a tournament at the time and could not respond immediately, filed an appeal on Sunday, citing lack of clarification in the league’s roster rules regarding violations and subsequent penalties, as well as the way the format was submitted. But the league ruled on July 11 that they had upheld the Coquitlam protest and subsequently docked the Blaze the dozen wins. “They violated the league roster rules,” said Reds head coach Kyle Williams. “The league has a precedent going back to last year when a team was found to be using ineligible players and they’ve obviously stood by that ruling.” The two organizations have had a frosty relationship in the past but Williams was hoping they could both move on despite the latest clash between the two teams, who are among the flagship units in the BCPBL. “I hope we can get past this at some point,” he said. “We need, as coaches, to be able to get along and get on with just coaching. “The near term might be difficult ... maybe the off-season is the best time (to discuss it). But we have to be role models for the kids on the field and do what’s best for them, first and foremost.” The Blaze have won the past three PBL regular season championships. The Reds, meanwhile, are smoking hot, collecting two more wins Wednesday to run their victory streak to 14 games. Pitcher Dylan Remenyk was terrific, scattering seven hits while going the full 10 innings as the Reds prevailed 2-1 over the Vancouver Cannons in the first game of a doubleheader. Next, the Reds overcame an early 3-0 deficit and rallied for a 5-3 win. Brian Nicholas led the Reds’ offence with three hits and one RBI.

Bronze battle x 2 for BC By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Bronze will again be the best B.C. can do at the Football Canada Cup. Fo r t h e s e c o n d straight year at the Under-18 tournament, Team BC will finish no better than third on Friday’s final day of the tournament after falling 31-15 to Team Quebec in their semifinal game

Tuesday. Team BC –– featuring Terry Fox Raven players Tyrel Ratich (defensive lineman), Jake Nylund (linebacker) and Mason Woods (offensive lineman) –– opened the tournament last Saturday with an 18-0 win over Team Manitoba but couldn’t contain the high-powered offence of Team Quebec in a 31-15 semifinal loss. “The coaching staff

IN QUOTES

“The coaching staff was very happy with... [the] effort and intensity.” Tom Kudaba was very happy with our players’ effort and intensity,” said head coach Tom Kudaba of

Terry Fox following Tuesday’s defeat. “We did make too many assignment errors, which is fatal against Quebec.” Team Ontario West dropped a 25-8 decision to the host Team Alberta in the other semifinal. Team BC will face Team Ontario West in this year’s bronze-medal clash, scheduled to kickoff today (Friday) 3 p.m. Visit www.canadafootballchat.com.

Gals, Peewee boys brilliant in BC lacrosse * In an article in the Wednesday, July 13 edition of The Tri-City News, information regarding the B.C. provincial female minor lacrosse championships was mistakenly published from the 2010 finals. Below is the correct version from last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament in Port Coquitlam. Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam teams collared silver medals at the B.C. provincial female box lacrosse championships last weekend at PoCo Rec Centre. In the Peewee division, Ridge Meadows defeated Coquitlam 5-2 in the gold-medal game, while New Westminster No. 2 tripped PoCo 7-3 in the Midget championship game. Bur naby trimmed Coquitlam No. 1 to earn Peewee bronze, while New West No. 2 shaved Port Moody 3-2 to capture Bantam bronze. Also, Burnaby tackled Coquitlam No. 2 by a 9-3 count in the Junior bronze battle. Peewee Warrior Fair Play Awards went to Isabelle Calderhead of

Coquitlam No. 1, Rylee Mackenzie of Coquitlam No. 2 and PoCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erica Berg. B a n t a m Wa r r i o r Fair Play Awards went to Morgan Moore of C o q u i t l a m , P o C o â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nikita Bagg and S a m a n t h a Fe n g o f Port Moody.

The Junior Fair Play coach was Coquitlam No. 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Augustine, while Emily Goss and Justin Gillespie were Fair Play Officials. In the B.C. Peewee boys provincials in Vernon and Armstrong, Coquitlam handled Ridge Meadows 7-4 in the Peewee A1 goldmedal match, with Jaxon Disanjh earning the MVP award. Also, Coquitlam beat Campbell River 8-2 in the Peewee B championship tilt.

Moms introduce kids to fish TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Dads need to follow suit In a press release I recently received, I read that the Orvis fishing tackle company has set a goal of teaching –– at no cost –– 10,000 individuals to fly fish this summer. This is a huge step toward pulling the sport fishing industry out of its decade-long slump. Since late 2000, there has been a concern across all lines in sport fishing, regarding the low percentage of young people entering the sport. If we apply the sales ideology that each person influences 250 people in their life time,

we can project that 10,000 introductions could influence 2.5 million people. The spin-off impact of this bold step could be just what is needed to get our sport back on track as a fun, family activity. For the last three years I have been volunteering as fly fishing instructor for youth and parent adventure retreats, a division of Youth Unlimited/Youth for Christ. During my time as their fly fishing instructor, it has been the moms who brought and participated in introducing their kids to fly fishing. What’s wrong with our dads? Many studies have shown that it is a dad’s influence that has the biggest impact on what children do. So come on Dad, take those kids fishing

and let’s do our part in contributing to the next generation of sport fishers.

THE REPORT Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes remains good. For wet (sinking) fly fishing try Chironomid, Bloodworm, Coachman, American Coachman, Professor, Wooly Bugger, Micro Leach, Sixpack, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback, Doc Spratley, Baggy Shrimp or Zulu. For dry (floating) fly action try Tom Thumb, Irresistible, Black Gnat, Griffith Gnat, Royal Coachman, or Renegade. For Kokanee try Red Abbis, Bloodworm, Red Spratley, San Juan Worm, Red Quill or Double Trude. Our Lower Mainland bass and panfish are fishing fare to good.

For bass try Wooly bugger, Big Black, Lizard, Clouser’s Deep Minnow, Zonker, Tied Down Minnow, Bucktail, Dolly Whacker, Frogs, Poppers, Chernobyl Ant, Stimulator or Crayfish in sizes 8 to 4. For Crappie or Pumpkinseed try Wooly Bugger, Big Black, Micro Leach, Bucktail, Tied Down Minnow, Dolly Whacker, Clouser’s Deep Minnow, Poppers, Joe’s Hopper, Chernobyl Ant or Stimulator in sizes 12 to 8. Fishing is good on many of our Interior lakes. For wet fly fishing try Wooly Bugger, Micro Leach, Egg Sucking Leach, Chironomid, Bloodworm, Pumpkinhead, Dragonfly Nymph, Halfback Nymph, 52 Buick. Doc Spratley, Green Spratley, or Baggy Shrimp.
