Mayor plans to bow out Trasolini won’t run again in November By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

TODD COYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A contractor speaks with Laura Kolstad about the damage to her Angela Drive apartment in Port Moody after what appears to be a random drive-by shooting. The incident occurred late Sunday night and PoMo police are asking the public for information.

Shots frighten mom, teen No explanation for Port Moody drive-by By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Laura Kolstad and her teenage son are lucky to be alive after a hail of bullets shot up their Port Moody apartment in what appears to be a random drive-by shooting. Kolstad was at home in her Angela Drive apartment with her son and a roommate at about 11 p.m. Sunday when she heard what sounded like fireworks coming from the street below.

“Then I heard a big crash and someone yelled, ‘Phone the cops!’” Kolstad recalled in her living room Monday, still visibly shaken by the incident. At least six bullets brought significant damage to Kolstad’s second floor patio, ripping cleanly through steel banisters, shattering the glass of her double-paned patio doors and punching into the door frame, yet, miraculously, none of the bullets made it through the steel and double-paned safety glass into the living room or upstairs where the three residents were at the time. Kolstad said they moved into the quiet Port Moody apartment beside

Death on West Coast Express tracks — see story page 4 Seaview elementary in January and she has no idea who would do this to them or why. “For all I know it could be just punks who got a hold of a gun and decided to have a little fun. But according to the police officers, they were a pretty good shot and, if it did go through, somebody would have definitely been

hurt,” Kolstad said. Port Moody police are equally baffled, asking the public to come forward with any information they may have. Police recovered bullet casings from the scene Sunday night, Kolstad said, and spent hours talking to residents of the apartment building and surrounding homes. But few residents that The News talked to on Monday morning reported seeing or hearing anything unusual in the neighbourhood before the police showed up with lights and sirens. see SHOTS HEARD page 12

Por t Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini will not seek re-election in November. The four-term mayor has served as the city’s top politician since 1999 and as a city councillor for three years before that. Trasolini told The Tri-City News Monday that he had already decided not to run for another term during the 2008 mayor’s race but didn’t want to announce it in the middle of his final ter m out of fear of becoming a “lame duck” mayor. “And this gives a couple months too for potential candidates to get organized TRASOLINI and seek the office,” Trasolini said Monday. No candidates have officially announced their nominations yet for Port Moody mayor in the Nov. 19 general election. Trasolini said he felt there were three issues he needed to tackle in his final term as mayor and, for better or worse, those issues have now been resolved. “For the Murray-Clarke overpass and the Evergreen Line, I’ve done all that I can at the municipal level. It’s in the hands of TransLink and the provincial government now,” he said. “And for [Port Moody] Fire Hall No. 1, we just finished a very successful process of building a state-of-theart fire hall at the most affordable price. So things have been put to rest and it’s an opportune time.” Mayor Trasolini said he is not the kind of person to rest on his laurels and may likely stay involved in politics, possibly at the provincial level. “I will be evaluating my opportunities in the more relaxed summer months that hopefully lay ahead,” Trasolini said. “Anything is possible. I am not eliminating anything at this time.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Retroactive garbage pay angers PoCo residents

City bans crossbow hunting within municipal limits By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A city of Port Coquitlam decision to charge residents retroactively for garbage fees the municipality failed to collect has upset a group of homeowners at a 25-unit townhouse complex. Thanks to a records-keeping oversight, residents of Willow Glen Estates have not paid a garbage levy since 1989 and the city is hoping to recoup a portion of the lost revenue. Now the residents are being charged for this year’s fee and the two years previous — totalling approximately $530 per unit — an amount strata council president Clint Grayson said could be onerous for some families to pay. “We have people that are literally living month to month,” said Grayson. “About a quarter of the people here are on fixed incomes.” Last week The Tri-City News reported that more than 90 PoCo residents have not paid a garbage levy, some going back more than two decades, because of a records-keeping oversight at city hall. Staff said that it is policy to collect the previous two years of payments when errors like this occur. In cases where the ownership of a home has changed during the 24-month time period, the new owner is charged from the time they took possession of the property. However, Jodi Mason, a resident of Willow Glen Estates and a strata council member, said the city has not been able to provide her with a written policy that outlines the two-year retroactive collection rule. “I asked if I could just see the written policy,” she said. “They told me there is nothing to see. It is just standard operating procedure.” Mindy Smith, the city’s director of corporate services, said council is currently considering the matter

THE TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Because of a city records keeping error, more than 90 homes in Port Coquitlam have not been paying the garbage levy, some going back as far as 1989. and will discuss the issue at its meeting on Monday. With a garbage levy that has fluctuated over the last 20 years, Smith said it would be difficult to calculate exactly how much revenue was lost, but she estimated it is more than $100,000. By collecting the previous two years’ worth of levies the city expects to make up approximately $40,000 in revenue. Smith said the problem first came to light several months ago when staff began updating the city’s record-keeping software. The new software, she said, helped staff identify a number of homes that were not paying their fees and will keep similar errors from occurring in the future. Councillors are expected to discuss the garbage levy issue at their regular scheduled meeting on Monday, July 25, at 7 p.m. in Port Coquitlam council chambers (2580 Shaughnessy Street). gmckenna@tricitynews.com

(MAYOR)

The city of Port Coquitlam is taking steps to prohibit the discharge of crossbows within the municipality after two bears were wounded by the weapons in the Tri-Cities last month. While the current Firearms Prohibition Bylaw covers most firearms, regulations don’t include crossbows or bow and arrows. PoCo’s community safety committee voted in favour last week of amending the regulations to include arrow-firing weapons. “There is authority in the Community Charter for [weapons regulations],” said Dan Scoones, the city’s manager of bylaws. “We are just being proactive.” The changes to the city’s regulations, Scoones added, mean that the province will no longer be able to issue licences in the municipality for crossbow and bow and arrow hunters. Last month PoCo Coun. Darrell Penner said the city should prohibit bow-hunting and crossbows in urban areas, after two bears were wounded by arrows in the northeast area of Coquitlam. In June conservation officers

told The Tri-City News that hunters who shot and wounded a bear on a Coquitlam blueberry farm were within the bounds of the law. A $115 fine was issued to one hunter for not cancelling his hunting tag indicating he had shot a bear — a minor offence — but his licence was otherwise in order. The bear was eventually tracked down by conservation officials who destroyed the 250lb. male animal. Another bear that was wounded by bow hunters last week was never found. But the new rules in Port Coquitlam may not entirely ban the discharge of firearms in the municipality. The provincial Livestock Act gives a person the authority to discharge a weapon if the person is protecting livestock from attack. That means a person could still hunt on agricultural land, if they had the owners permission and believed their property was in danger. Coquitlam, where the two bear shootings took place, has had informal discussions on the matter but have not amended their firearms bylaw to include arrows or crossbows. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam council, Metro come to RGS agreement By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It wasn’t easy but it’s done. Coquitlam council’s battle to bring checks and balances to the region’s new growth strategy ended this week when it agreed to terms that were being disputed in a resolution process with Metro Vancouver. The four meetings with Metro staff and directors this and last month started acrimoniously with one of the two facilitators quitting. That set the tone for the next three meetings, said Mayor Richard Stewart, who represented the city at the table with councillors Selina Robinson and Mae Reid. In the end, Metro agreed to a review annually showing the 24-member municipalities how the regional body is achieving its goals under the 30-year document that covers everything — in broad, sweeping terms — from housing and transportation to land-use planning and

air quality. The five objections for Coquitlam — the only city to hold out approval of the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) — centred on: Metro’s overROBINSON sight in local land-use planning; the lack of legal, administrative and financial costs; the lack of clarity in the disputeresolution process; the need for more consistency in land-use designations; and the lack of definition around the term “regional significance.” Robinson said Coquitlam didn’t get all of its questions answered during the four, four-hour sessions that were observed by regional mayors on Metro’s intergovernmental committee (who were paid $330 per meeting). Still, “I actually think that we

gained a fair bit,” she said, “given where we were at the beginning and what we came out at the end.” Metro municipalities can now bring forward proposed amendments to the RGS; Metro will publicly review the RGS every five years to measure its performance; and a Metro committee will give further study to the meaning of “regional significance.” Robinson called the negotiations “time well spent” but said she has concerns with the amount of money Metro spent on its side for the discussions. She asked Coun. Lou Sekora, one of Coquitlam’s two Metro directors, to raise the topic at its next board meeting. S e ko r a , wh o o n M o n d ay voted a g ainst the so-called Implementation Agreement for the RGS along with Coun. Doug Macdonell, said he also isn’t happy with how the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club lands are being classified in the document.

Several Plateau residents have urged the city to ensure that property — as well as other green spaces — remain as conservation/recreation. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning, said many Metro municipalities have made last-minute pitches to Metro to make land-use changes to the RGS; they will be incorporated in a subsequent “omnibus” resolution, likely within the next two years, he said. City manager Peter Steblin said Metro has assured the city the golf club lands will remain as council has intended them in the official community plan. “I don’t think you have to worry,” he said. Macdonell said the negotiations with Metro soured his views of the regional authority. “We’ve all seen the appalling disregard by Metro Vancouver to the cities throughout this process,” he said. “I witnessed a verbal attack on one of the pro-

cess facilitators right here in this chamber. It was so severe and so disrespectful that he resigned.” He added, “That’s one of the problems with Metro Vancouver: It’s an old boys’ club and it excludes some cities on committees and rewards others with plumb, high paying committees. If your city isn’t part of the inner circle then your city is under-represented on those decision-making committees. There’s too much bullying behaviour. “That’s why I don’t trust them when they say they’ll look at the five-year breakout clause that Coquitlam’s put forward,” Macdonell said. “They say they will, but it hasn’t been added to the RGS yet, and I hope they will but I won’t be surprised at all if the end result is watered down and ineffective.” Meanwhile, Coquitlam city council is expected to formally endorse the RGS at next Monday’s council meeting. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Man killed by westbound train West Coast Express service shut down, snarling traffic By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Commuters on the West Coast Express were stranded Monday morning after a man was struck and killed by a westbound train at Coquitlam Centre station. More than a dozen Coquitlam RCMP and Transit Police vehicles had cordoned off the station shortly after 7 a.m. while investigators examined a spot on the tracks just slightly west of the passenger platform. The body was removed from the scene at approximately 10

a.m. and police had identified the man and were in the process of notifying his family. As of Tuesday afternoon, Coquitlam Mounties said they would not be releasing the name of the deceased. RCMP Insp. Davis Wendell told The Tri-City News Monday that foul play was not suspected. T r a n s L i n k s p o ke s p e r s o n Drew Snider said it was the third of five westbound West Coast Express trains that hit the person, halting the train at Coquitlam Centre and forcing commuters to get off the fourth and fifth trains at Port Coquitlam. Those trains were still parked at Port Coquitlam station at approximately 9:30 a.m., while pas-

sengers were loaded onto buses bound for SKyTrain stations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coast Mountain bus company got additional buses into place to get passengers from PoCo station to Braid and the 97-B Line got customers at Port Moody and got them to Lougheed and then Millennium Line extended its rush hour service level,â&#x20AC;? Snider said. By early afternoon, all five West Coast Express trains had arrived in Vancouver to take eastbound passengers home in time for the evening rush. This is the first time in 16 years of the trainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation that someone has been hit by the West Coast Express at Coquitlam Centre, Snider said. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Council wants washrooms at Evergreen Line stations By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Wa s h ro o m s o n t h e n ew Evergreen Line should be open to all riders, at any time. That’s the message Coquitlam city council will send to the transportation minister as the province gets set to build the rapid transit line from Lougheed Town Centre to Coquitlam Town Centre, via Port Moody. On Monday, council voted unanimously to urge the province and TransLink, Metro Vancouver’s transit operators, to change its policies to have public washroom facilities — available at any time — in the Evergreen stations in Coquitlam. C u r r e n t l y, a l o n g t h e Millennium and Expo SkyTrain lines, riders have to ask station attendants to unlock the loos; however, that’s not always convenient, Coquitlam council contends. Still, TransLink maintains that having freely accessible toilets isn’t part of its mandate, is costly, isn’t part of its operational budget, and open bathrooms are prone to vandalism and inappropriate/criminal activity.

Coun. Neal Nicholson raised the topic at council in March, noting in particular the need for unlocked washrooms for riders with young NICHOLSON children. The $1.4-billion Evergreen Line is expected to be running by 2015.

TREE PLANTING Two major tree planting programs are slated this fall in Coquitlam for the city to meet its 5,000 mark this year — a goal that wasn’t achieved last year. City staff are organizing a planting event in October, lasting over several days, in Panorama Park with school kids and volunteers, courtesy of $9,000 in grants from the Footprints Conservation Society and the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. As well, TD Tree Days is donating $3,500 for a tree planting in late September in the Scott Creek Linear Park, south of Dewdney Trunk Road. Earlier this year, volunteers and Scott Creek middle students

and teachers rolled up their sleeves for an Earth Day tree planting in Scott Creek Linear Park, by Runnel Drive, that was sponsored by Tree MACDONNELL Canada and IKEA. At that time, 120 trees and 577 shrubs went into the ground. The city launched its 10,000 new trees target in 2009, budgeting $55,000 for 5,000 trees in 2010 and $51,000 for this year; however, 3,220 trees were planted — or, at least, handed out — last year through three programs: Adopta-Tree (2,740); Eco-Yard Smart (50); and tree planting on public property (430). This year’s push is for more public land plantings, offset by $16,300 in grants, said Lanny Englund, Coquitlam’s urban forestry operations manager. Tree maintenance for 2011 is $357,000 — a budget that “is getting bigger every year,” warned Coun. Doug Macdonell, at last month’s recreation committee, “and council should be aware of adding to it.”

On the offensive against West Nile Mosquitos may be swarming in the Fraser Valley but there’s little chance the dreaded West Nile Virus will be creeping into the Lower Mainland this year. T hat’s the message from Christy MacDougall, the TriCities’ acting vector control biologist who’s monitoring local catch basins and storm drains with four BCIT students this summer. In the valley, a species of mosquito — one that doesn’t carry WNV — is plaguing residents mostly because of the rising floodwaters of the Fraser River. Those same “nuisance” skeeters are being treated here by MacDougall’s team with bacteria-based larvicides such as Bti on an “as needed basis,” she said. The $80,000 program to monitor pest activity in surface waters is funded by the Fraser Health Authority. “It’s been fairly the same as last year,” she

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

By Todd Coyne Real estate developer Onni has been granted a bylaw reprieve from the city of Port Moody after hitting a potentially disastrous roadblock to the construction of its The Residences tower at Suter Brook Village. In May, while doing preliminary work on the building’s underground parking area, workers came upon a wayward Metro Vancouver sewage main pipe that veered outside of its proper right of way, interfering with the tower plans. A redesign of the parking lot was under taken, but Onni had to ask Port Moody council last Tuesday to allow their lot to vary from the city’s off-street parking bylaw which mandates that lots contain no more than 20% small-car spaces and must have a parking lot drive aisle wider than 6.7 m. Onni’s request was granted, meaning 32% of The Residence’s underground parking will be small car spaces, which amounts to 97 spaces out of a total 304. The drive aisle will also be slightly more difficult to navigate at a reduced width of 6.6 m. Council asked that Onni inform all potential buyers if the parking space allotted to their suite is a small car space.

said. “We’ve been doing it for so long now that we have a good idea of what to do, what to look for and where to go.” Still, what has changed — and continues to do so on an annual basis — is new development, which in turn brings in extra streets with more catch basins. The vector control team has to be on top of the housing projects, especially on Burke Mountain where the landscape is altering fast, she said. Currently, nuisance mosquitos are not in high numbers in the Tri-Cities. And according to the BC Centre for Disease Control, of the 90 people, 468 mosquito pools and 15 birds tested by the lab so far this year, no provincial results have been positive. In 2010, one person in the interior tested positive, and five birds. WNV was recorded for the first time in B.C. in 2009. Two mosquito species are capable of transmitting west nile virus in this province: Culex pipiens and Culex tarsalis.

Cash for transit M

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

ore pain at the pump is imminent, as the regional mayors’ council has decided the way to finance TransLink’s long-awaited Evergreen Line to Coquitlam is to ding motorists an extra two cents per litre when they fuel up. This is on top B.C.’s carbon tax on gas, which just went up on July 1 to 5.56 cents a litre. (It will rise again to 6.67 cents per litre in 2012). In fact, feeding government coffers now account for one-third of the cost of a litre of fuel, with Metro Vancouver motorists paying the highest gas taxes in Canada. No one welcomes user fees, but how to fund muchneeded services, such as the Evergreen Line and other transit expansions? Here’s one suggestion: ICBC. The profitable publicly owned auto insurer has boasted healthy reserves over the years — topping $3 billion in 2010 — and hefty annual profits continue to stack up, mainly from investments. (The money comes out of the optional insurance side of ICBC’s business, where the corporation competes with private insurers). In prior years, ICBC issued rebate cheques to drivers to help spread the wealth, but has so far resisted calls from taxpayer groups and unions to lower insurance rates or boost ICBC workers’ wages. Of course, that hasn’t stopped Victoria from raiding the kitty. In a controversial move last year, the B.C. Liberals funnelled $487 million from ICBC’s cash reserves into general revenue to help offset the provincial deficit. What’s more, budget documents filed last spring showed the province intends to extract around $145 million annually from ICBC, starting this year. That’s more than triple the $40 million in revenue that is expected to come each year from the proposed two-cent gas tax hike for TransLink. If ICBC’s successful track record is any indication, and if ideology dictates that those who use the roads should pay for them, then what better way to finance transportation projects than with surplus ICBC shareholder dollars? — The Surrey Leader

Is crazy weather an anomaly or climate change? BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – My summer road trip to the B.C. Interior began as soon as the TransCanada Highway reopened at Chilliwack. The crew had worked through the night to clear a mudslide studded with rocks the size of Smart cars, along with a couple of actual cars. We headed up the historic canyon route from Hope to Yale to Cache Creek, the Fraser River still surging a month after it should have settled back. At Ashcroft, river rafters bravely bobbed on the brown torrent. The Williams Lake Stampede went ahead between rain showers, bull riders benefiting from soft conditions while barrel racers struggled. We drove to Prince George and then Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., where the Nechako River looked ready to climb out of its banks. As we arrived news

came that all this thundering water had done its work, toppling a hydroelectric tower at Surrey, briefly closing the Trans-Canada Highway again. One family member was unable to come down from Chetwynd for a visit. He was cut off by a staggering 16 washouts of Highway 97 north of Prince George in the Pine Pass, which winds through the Hart Range. This stretch of road has long been a contender for the most extreme mountain conditions in B.C., but one night of torrential rain tore it up beyond anything seen in my lifetime. This pass is the only road link from southern B.C. to the vast Northeast. The rains would keep coming around Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, disrupting farms, natural gas development, a coal mine and a wind farm with floods and washouts. The transportation ministry and its contractors had a winding track open through the Pine Pass construction zone within days, an amazing effort to restore essential freight traffic into the region that has emerged as B.C.’s main economic engine. But recon-

struction will likely take the rest of the summer. We were back in Victoria by the time the Fraser River finally crested at the Mission gauge after six weeks of high water, its latest peak since 1920. During the trip, gasoline prices reached a high of $1.31, nudged up slightly by the latest increase in the carbon tax as well as political turmoil overseas. This is B.C.’s largely symbolic nod to the concern that extreme weather events are accelerating due to huge consumption of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases. I’ve been careful not to make any sweeping statements about the evolving science of climate change. But the sheer power of recent weather events, and the scars left by bark beetles and fires, are difficult to ignore. Australia has just taken bolder steps than those of B.C., imposing a carbon tax on the country’s 500 largest carbon emitters. The government proposes to collect the revenues for three years and invest them in renewable

energy, transition for coal and steel industries and tax cuts for consumers who will have industrial carbon taxes passed on to them in the price of goods. Then the Australian carbon tax is supposed to convert to an emissions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future. B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industry as its critics sometimes claim. The tax is imposed on all fuels used in industry, but hasn’t been extended to industrial process emissions. By far the largest greenhouse gas source in B.C. remains vehicles, at around 40 per cent of the total. • Another highlight of the trip was the visible resurgence of the forest industry. May’s trade figures show B.C. lumber sales to China have surpassed the U.S. for the first time.

Hoping for some good sense The Editor, It’s extremely heartening to read that a transportation consultant will assess Port Coquitlam as a prime location for extending the Evergreen Line eastward. It made no sense not to use Port Coquitlam as the last station on Evergreen’s Line since it already has a hub for buses and trains off Kingsway. So it naturally makes the most sense to put it where it can later be expanded towards Pitt

Reader thinks Port Coquitlam should have a station on the Evergreen Line. Meadows and further east. Why this was even overlooked in the original plan hasn’t made

logical sense right from the start. Wouldn’t you want to end the line where there already is a hub for other transportation options for travelers? Let’s hope someone with a clearer eye will see what has been missing from Translink’s plans so far. Here’s hoping good sense will prevail and Port Coquitlam, which should have had that last station, will finally be included. M. Schooff Port Coquitlam

Yes, I’ve marched up to city hall twice last summer when I first moved to Murray Street to be told that they were aware of the problem and “had a committee working on a solution.” I tried to offer a couple of low-cost solutions, such as the cost of installing a flashing light but was politely told of reasons why my ideas couldn’t work. So here we all are with a front row seat to this great show every day, wondering what will have to happen before the city takes effective action. Shudder.

And let’s not forget to give a special nod to last summers’ spectacle when we witnessed a mother, her son and their Great Dane bravely making it halfway across the street before the car bumper bounces off the boy’s knee. Nuts, just winged him — maybe next time. Finally we have those dark, dismal mornings to offer up to you — definitely not for the faint of heart. Time after time customers arrive at my business to drop off their dog, shaken and scared as they recount their nerve-racking tale of making it to the middle of the crosswalk just to be trapped with both lanes of traffic racing

The Editor, Looking for some free entertainment this summer? Bring the whole family to the street crossing at Murray Street across from Rocky Point Park, get comfy and enjoy the show! A special treat is watching the moms with baby strollers waving their arms frantically at traffic in a vain attempt to get them to stop. They’re standing right on the road with obvious precious cargo as the drivers whiz by blissfully unaware. Then there are those poor saps trying to get to work in the morning. Who needs coffee to get the blood pumping when you can maximize your adrenaline rush

McNeice Enterprises Ltd. invites the public to attend an open house to discuss the proposal to rezone the property located at 1971 Broadway from Residential Single Family 3 (RS3) zone to Light Industrial (M3) zone for the development of a new multi-tenant warehouse facility (‘subject property’ on map below). The open house will enable the public to receive information about the proposed development and have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments. The proposed two-storey light industrial building would contain 8 units, a total of 21,000 sq. feet of warehouse space and 10,000 sq. feet of ofÀce space. The warehouse will be accessed off Broadway at the south-east corner and off Kingsway at the north-west corner. Development Site Location Map:

One neighbour thought he heard some loud bangs around the time of the shooting but assumed it was thunder. Another resident of the same building where the shooting happened said she has lived in the apartment for 35 years and it has always been a nice, quiet neighbourhood. She said her neighbours who were victimized by the shooting are always polite to her and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be the kind of people who would be involved in incidents like this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really very nice people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just seem like a family to me.â&#x20AC;? Although the Seaview neighbourhood on the border with Coquitlam is typically quiet, Kolstadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment is little more than a kilometre from the scene of a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Clarke Road and Glenayre Drive that put two men in hospital with multiple gunshot wounds in December. In April of last year, there was another drive-by shooting at a home in north Port Coquitlam, but nobody was injured and no suspects were arrested. Anyone with information on this latest incident is asked to contact the Port Moody Police Department at 604-461-3456 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Flapjacks raise $ Port Moody firefighters raised a record $18,000 at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual pancake breakfast for charity. An estimated 2,000 to 2,500 people attended the Canada Day weekend event at Port Moody city hall where about 40 staff firefighters and volunteer firefighters served up flapjacks for a good cause. Money raised at the annual event goes to a variety of local charities including the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, Crossroads Hospice and the BC Professional Firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Burn Fund. The growing popularity of the event, volunteer work of firefighters and cooperation from the weather, led to the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success said Port Moody deputy fire chief Gord Parker.

Organizers at the Share Food Bank are hoping a donation drive this week will set a record in the province and bring in enough stock to last until the fall. On Thursday (July 21) a 40-foot semitrailer will be in the parking lot at Coquitlam Centre be-

tween 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. and Share is hoping to fill the container. The event, called the Share Food Bank Fillup, is expected to become an annual donation drive, at a time of year when the organization needs donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to set a provincial record for the most amount of food collected in 12 hours,â&#x20AC;? said Heather Stacey, a spokesperson for Share Family and Community Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be enough

Those who braved the rain last Saturday and Sunday for the Blue Mountain Music Festival weren’t disappointed as they got to hear performers representing a wide variety of music, including the Faceplants, above, who played their brand of hip hop and pop music, and Tony Prophet who got the crowd hopping with his band Midlife (right). Bottom left, Korki the Clown made a penguin out of balloons while two-year old Hudson Evers of Coquitlam had his face painted. In addition to music for grown-ups, there was karaoke, and activities and entertainers for the children.

Blues, hip-hop & more at festival By Jennifer Gauthier THE TRI-CITY NEWS

ri-City residents got to experience a music festival without leaving home this past weekend during the 7th annual Blue Mountain Music Festival. Despite rainy conditions, die-hard music fans flocked to the park to see performers such as the Big City Soul Band

and Mike Henry, who got the mostly babyboomer crowd jumping to tunes by James Brown and Ray Charles. “The evening crowds, under the tents, people had a good time and danced up a storm,” said Don Layfield, Tri-City News’’ advertising manager and festival organizer. see CLOSE TO HOME HOME,, page 15

Rita Pollock of Coquitlam dances as the Faceplants perform at the Blue Mountain Music Festival on Sunday. Pollock lives two blocks away from the festival site, and made her way over in-between raindrops, where she spent seven hours dancing on Saturday.

continued from page 14

Tots enjoyed face painting, balloon artistry, air brush tattoos, roving enter tainers while their parents experienced the festival vibe with a range or artists covering Top 40, country and country rock, as well as traditional rock and roll and the blues with Midlife band headed by the Tri-Cities’ own Tony Prophet. Although the weather kept some folks away, others, like Dar rell Robertson enjoyed having a festival in town that appealed to all ages. “There were activities for kids and we were drawn to come. It’s close to home, a few blocks.” Although fewer people attended the event compared to past years, Layfield said smaller numbers won’t affect next year’s festival. He said the City of Coquitlam, which sponsors the event, is committed to the annual music festival and the Fe s t iva l C o q u i t l a m Society which organizes it doesn’t rely on the gate donations. However, the admission donations are used to offset some of the costs, Layfield said. Other sponsors were Thrifty Foods, and the Kinsmen Club.

Coquitlam residents Steven Meng and Sasha Maleki, both 17 and Grade 12 IB students at Port Moody secondary, are promoting membership to the Coquitlam Youth Council. It wasn’t the only CYC-sponsored activity, though. During Youth Week, May 1 to 7, CYC took part in the Tri-City REACH awards to honour outstanding young local volunteers; held barbecues and movie nights; played snooker with seniors at Glen Pine Pavilion; and organized youth centre programs. The co-ordination of so many activities “really taught us how to work together as a team,” said Maleki, who gave an an-

Last June, before classes ended for the summer, volunteers with the Coquitlam Youth Council stood in high school lobbies, handed out flyers and talked to students with the aim to bolster membership for the 2010/’11 year.

Making a difference continued from page 18

Started in 2005, CYC is split into two zones: east and west, with the former having the most members. Supervised by city recreation leaders Cindy Lathrop (east) and Chill Lee (west), the councils meet once a month at Poirier and Pinetree community centres to plan events, offer feedback to city staff, talk about topical issues and raise awareness of city-wide youth programs. “It’s an opportunity to make a difference in your community,” said Maleki, who is also co-chair for this year’s School District 43 Student Leadership

Council, plays for the Coquitlam Lions water polo team and is a swim coach with the city. “It’s not like any small events in your school. We do things on a much bigger scale, with high levels of city involvement.” Steven Meng, also 17 and a Grade 12 IB student at PMSS, signed u p w i t h C YC l a s t year “because I really wanted to learn more about youth activism in our community and try to get people involved to participate in events.” Meng knows the effects of poor volunteerism. He lived in Toronto and China where, he claims, “the bigger the

city, the less the participation. They just don’t give back.” He is keen to share his expertise: Besides CYC, Meng is also on the BC Youth Parliament and holds the Port MoodyCoquitlam seat, and he is a member of its subsidiary, the Lower Mainland East Youth Parliament, where — for the last session — he was the shadow cabinet minister for communications. • The deadline for CYC applications is Sept. 15. To apply for CYC East (Pinetree), email clathrop@coquitlam.ca; for CYC West (Poirier), email cyinlee@coquitlam.ca.

Several plots feature wildlife friendly plantings with abundant bird, butterfly and bee activity. The 550-plot site is tended by about 250 members. The enthusiasm for growing food and flowers is evident in a long waiting list for garden plots.

Books from TC writers By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Sisters Tilde Cameron of Coquitlam, left, and Tina Fiorda of Burnaby channelled a spiritual book via a ouiji board. They will speak at ArtsConnect’s PechaKucha Night, Volume 4, on July 25 at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show. For tickets, call 604-927-6555 or visit www.pecha-kucha.org/night/coquitlam.

Ouija board inspires book By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

e are not of the physical world, but we know your physical world better than you do, for our vantage point is one that spans the physical and spiritual.” So starts A Book of Insight, written by the spiritual guides belonging to Coquitlam’s Tilde Cameron and Tina Fiorda of Burnaby — sisters who, over a three-month period, channelled 16 chapters about “wisdom from the other side” via a Ouija board. They are the first to admit how bizarre the notion sounds but, after an hour-long interview with the pair, they’ll make a believer out of any skeptic. Both women say their metaphysical experiences started as children in Toronto: apparitions were not out of the ordinary for either. When their family moved to Vancouver and into their grandparents’ home, which was shared with their uncle and aunt, Fiorda found a Ouija board tucked away in a closet. At first, she and Cameron played with it, asking silly questions about boy crushes, for example, but, as they matured, they began to respect the planchette and board for what it had to offer. They posed questions like, “Am I on the right path in life?” and it responded. Soon, their spiritual guides — or guardian angels — revealed themselves. Cameron had Melanie looking over her; Tina had two: Em and Demna. All three, they said, “are articulate and eloquent.”

One night in 2004, the guides led the sisters on a journey and delivered a message via their sacred board: You will write our book and Chapter One will be about meditation. They spelled out their message — letter by letter — and the sisters realized the power of their words. Still, Cameron and Fiorda put the book project aside, not thinking about their assignment until July 2007, when they prompted their guides again “and they picked up just where they left off,” Cameron said. “We didn’t know what the book was about. They would say, ‘This is Chapter Two: Belief Systems’ and away they went. This was how the book was delivered.” For a few hours a night, Cameron held the planchette while the guides spelled out the words and Fiorda read them into a digital recorder. Later, when the sisters transcribed the chapter and read it back, “We would say, ‘Holy smokes! Where is this coming from? This is crazy!’” said Cameron, who used to work as an audio specialist for Electronic Arts and now lectures with Fiorda. A second book is now on its way, tentatively titled Awakening of Mankind, a work also channelled via their guides through the Ouija board and has the same theme as their first book, which is similar to The Secret, a recent popular self-help publication about learning to follow your intuition and receiving unconditional love. Fiorda, a costume designer for films, said she’s proud to tell people she has a book but, she said, she

sometimes covers her mouth when she reveals the source of it. “We’re not witches,” she said, laughing. “I still shake my head about it,” Cameron added. “We are not authors. Neither one of us could have written this book. We joke about that all the time.” However, the Ouija board “has given a lot of comfort to me,” Cameron reflected, staring at their William Fuld, Baltimore, MD, USA, edition. “It helps me make sense of my life and so many things have happened to us because of it.” The book’s readers have also spoken positively about its missive, telling the sisters it has changed their lives in a good way. “That, in itself, is a gift to us,” Fiorda said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Bookworms looking to turn a few pages on the beach — or, with this blah we a t h e r, o n t h e couch — this summer can check out several books published recently by current and former Tri-City residents. Au t h o r D e bb i e Maddigan, who used to call Coquitlam home, is out with a biography about Laura Gilbert, a past Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam resident. Her work, called a little girl called Squeaks, describes Gilbert’s childhood i n Va n c o u v e r ’ s downtown eastside with a drug-addicted mother and talks about her determination to make a better life for her children. Michelle Mulder, who grew up in Port Moody, has another juvenile novel in print. Out of the Box x is her latest offering from Orca Book Publishers; her previous works include Yeny and the Children for Peace, which was a starred selection in the Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Best Books for Kids and Teens 2009, and After Peaches, a nominee last year for the Bolen Books’ Children’s Book Prize. As well, PoCo’s Liesl Jurock has a short story in the new Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms edition. Her chapter, titled Six Days In, is one of 101 “inspirational stories of joy, love and wonder,” and speaks about her experience with her son, Lucas, and having to leave their apartment during a fire alarm — six days after she delivered him via C-section. see BOOKS, OOKS, page g 25 5

Pencil? check, Pratt? check This summer, in a series called Bright Young Things, The TriCity News will profile young people who plan to use their artistic skills after graduation.

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

In January, Xin Yue “Shaelyn” Zhu had her eye on The Art Institute of Chicago. The 19-year-old Coquitlam resident won a place at the world-renowned school and was eager to fine-tune the fine arts she had honed in mainland China and at Gleneagle secondary school. Then, something wonderful happened. I n Fe b r u a r y, s h e learned the entry she had submitted to the Wearable Arts Awards, sponsored by the Port Moody Arts Centre, not only took first place for best use of material, it also received the most coveted prize: People’s Choice. “That was my first professional fashion experience,” Zhu said. Her success — and the offer of $19,000 US a year for four years — prompted her to change her post-secondary path and pursue a BFA in fashion design at the Pratt Institute in New York, one of the world’s most competitive markets for fashionistas. At its School of Art and Design, she’ll be able to mix her fashion studies with courses in jewellery and print making, and photography — a rare opportunity for a budding artist. “Opportunity” is a word Zhu uses a lot in conversation, especially since she and her parents emigrated in 2008 from Shenzhen, China. There, Zhu said, she felt trapped by the stifling education system. Although she was enroled in a Beijing fine arts school for a year before moving to Canada, solidifying her foundation in drawing and

painting, “I didn’t want to be one of those ordinary Chinese students who just went to school and became an officer or businessman,” she said. “I wanted to have more opportunities to learn art.... Canada has more opportunities for students like me.” At 17, in Grade 11 and with little English, Zhu repositioned to make the most of her talent. At Gleneagle, she expanded her portfolio, taking sculpting, photography and mixed media, and applied for contests.

Besides Wearable Ar ts, she entered Emerging Talent, a showcase of artwork from senior students in School District 43, and won a scholarship in May from the University Women’s Club as the district’s top female visual arts student. She also clinched spots at the five post-secondary schools she applied to. Next month, Zhu leaves for New York, a city she has never visited. “It’s very exciting and very anxious at the same time,” she said, noting she will reside on

the Brooklyn campus. In New York, “everything is very fast. If you don’t work hard, you’re going to be lost.” As for her career, Zhu hasn’t “quite decided yet but I want to work for some big fashion companies after I graduate and see if I have some opportunities to create my own fashion line,” she said. “Hopefully, I will become a successful fashion designer.”

Last year, Coquitlam’s Gisela Woldenga selfpublished her first novel, The Destiny of Dreams, about a man and a woman who dream about each other and, through a coincidental meeting, find out they were ill-fated lovers thousands of years ago. Her latest book of fiction, called Broken Strings, published by Romance at Heart in March, revolves around symphony conductor Daniel Abogado, who is threatened after he hires cellist Elvira Torres. Cheryl Angst, a Grade 6 and 7 Minnekhada middle teacher in PoCo, launched her sciencefiction book, The Firestorm Conspiracy, at the school in May. In the Amazon.com review, the plot is cryptically encapsulated as: “One conspiracy. Two reluctant heroes. A meeting that will alter the fate of billions of lives.…” Port Moody artist Zeynep Dogu Cameron (www.plusonephotography.com) has developed a customized children’s book that can llow a young child travelling the world in search of a favourite toy gone missing. The protagonist is interchangeable, given the reader.

A’s need late surge to secure playoff spot By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Adanacs have made the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs every year since 1997. The way things are going, 2011 may be the end of that handsome run. The sagging Adanacs got out-scored 4-2 in the final nine minutes Saturday and dropped a crucial 13-11 contest to the Maple Ridge Burrards at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. The loss was the A’s seventh straight and dropped them to 4-10-0 in the basement of the seven-team loop, while the Burrards moved into the fourth and final playoff spot at 7-9-0. The A’s are six points behind Ridge with four games remaining, starting tomorrow

(Thursday) versus the firstplace Salmonbellies in New Westminster. Adanacs general manager Les Wingrove believes one victory could alter his team’s fortunes and spur it on yet again to the post-season. “I’ve been saying that for quite a few games now and but it just doesn’t seem to want to come,” Wingrove said. “It’s not like we’re playing badly. Lack of confidence has maybe set in a bit of late but I don’t think we can look at our team and say we just don’t have it this season. “For some reason, we’re falling a couple goals short all the time.” The Burrards led 4-3 after the first pe-

riod and held a 9-7 advantage after the second. The A’s Kevin Olson, with his game-high fourth goal, cut the margin to 9-8 six minutes into the third and Daryl Veltman knotted the count 9-9 at the 10:31 mark. But 28 ticks later, Peter Tellis scored what proved the first of three straight Ridge goals in a two-minute span from which the A’s failed to recover. Dane Dobbie netted back-to-back goals to close the gap to 12-11 with more than four minutes remaining but Ridge’s Riley Loewen tallied with 2:13 to go to close out the scoring and seal the Burrards’ win. After Olson’s four markers, Dobbie was

Bronze again for Fox four, Team BC Team made it back-to-back bronze medals at the 2011 Football Canada Cup. Team BC –– featuring Terry Fox Ravens’ defensive lineman Tyrel Ratich, linebacker Jake Nylund and offensive lineman Mason Woods –– wrapped up tournament play Friday via a 14-1 victory over Team Ontario West in the fight for third spot at Alberta’s University of Lethbridge Community Sports Stadium. B.C. managed a medal for the second straight year despite not fielding a team at the Football Canada Cup from 2001 to 2009. “We’re really proud of the fact we were able to finish in

the top three,” said Team BC head coach Tom Kudaba, who serves a co-head varsity coach at Fox. “Our goal going in was always to compete for the gold medal as it always is but it’s a hard tournament. “Our kids did an outstanding job buying into what we were trying to do on both sides of the ball and on special teams. The effort was outstanding. Their demeanor was great. They followed all the rules. I’m really happy for their accomplishment even though we felt that if we had another week or two of preparation we could have given Quebec [in the semifinal] a better game, that’s for sure.”

Team BC did all of their damage offensively in the second quarter after falling behind 1-0 after the opening frame. Quarterback Michael Carney got Team BC on the scoreboard on a quarterback sneak before the left-coasters concluded the scoring in the quarter – and the game – in the dying seconds of the first half, with quarterback Jordan Deverill hooking up with running back Mason Swift on a touchdown pass. “The offence for the first half was solid –– scored two touchdowns –– but never really got it going in the second half for various reasons,” said

next on the A’s with three and also had four assists. Veltman finished with a pair of tallies and dished out seven assists, while Cory Conway bagged a goal and six helpers. Spencer Martin also struck net for Coquitlam. Former PoCo Saints Jr. ‘A’ standout Randy Daly netted a natural hattrick in the first period for the Burrards, who got three more goals from the ex-Coquitlam Jr. Adanac Loewen and a steady 35-save showing from goalie Chris Siedel. After New West, the A’s host the 5-7-2 Nanaimo Timbermen on Saturday, 7 p.m., before wrapping up the regular season with a home-and-home series versus the third-place Langley Thunder, including their finale July 30 in Coquitlam.
