Man attacked, bear killed ‘I could feel her, I was waiting for her, waiting for her to do it,’ says bear’s victim By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A day after being attacked by a bear near his Anmore home, Ken Hogue was able to joke with his neighbours about the harrowing incident and expressed sadness that his 200 lb. adversary had to be killed. The only reason the mother bear didn’t eat him, Hogue speculated, was that he didn’t taste good without ketchup. But during the Monday morning incident in Countryside Village near Buntzen Lake, Hogue feared for his life when the black bear KEN HOGUE ran at him, prompting him to dive down an embankment. “I just came upon it and, boom, all of a sudden it came at me,” Hogue recalled. He was just 500 feet from his house, walking along the treelined residential street with his shih tzu dog Shelby, when he spotted a bear embroiled in an aggressive encounter with another neighbour’s dog. The bear saw Hogue and began running toward him, bowling over his little dog and leaping down the embankment after him. see BEAR THAT ATTACKED, CK , page g 3

Andrea McDonald and son Kai show off equipment that will be available Saturday at KidSport Tri-Cities’ used equipment sale.
A sporting chance By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Outfitting young people with new equipment can be an expensive proposition for any family trying to get their kids involved in sports. So KidSport Tri-Cities organizer Andrea McDonald is not exaggerating when she said it is important people get to the organization’s used equipment summer sale early this Saturday. JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Conservation officers carry a tranqillized bear cub in Anmore on Monday after its mother attacked a local man who was out for a walk with his dog. The man suffered minor injuries but the mother bear was shot and killed.

Bear that attacked had been relocated continued from front page
“I fell and hit my head on a rock and she swiped me on my right arm,” he said. He then lay still for several moments while the animal pressed against him and he wondered why it didn’t finish him off — a friend’s father was killed and partially eaten by a bear a few years ago and Hogue was sure he was going to meet the same fate. “I could feel her, I was waiting for her, waiting for her to do it,” Hogue said. He even turned his face away to avoid what he thought was inevitable. It was a terrible moment but, at the time, Hogue said, he was more worried about his dog. After what seemed like several minutes, the bear walked up the embankment but it kept turning back to look at Hogue, who was trapped and bleeding. Thinking the bruin was far enough away to take action, Hogue grabbed his dog and tried to climb the embankment. But Shelby broke loose and the bear charged after them again. But a neighbour came upon the scene in his car and honked the horn to scare the bear off. Hogue climbed into the man’s car and they called 911. BC Ambulance paramedics responded and Hogue was taken to Eagle Ridge Hospital, where his head and arm were bandaged and he was sent home. While he was gone, the BC Conservation Officer Service and RCMP interviewed witnesses and after deciding the bear was a threat to the safety of residents and visitors in the area, shot and killed the bruin with a single shot from a shotgun. According to a police statement, the bear ran into the bushes and was found dead a short time later. As well, nearby Buntzen Lake was shut down as officers tranquillized three cubs that were hiding in a tree. A conservation officer told The Tri-City News that garbage likely attracted the bear, which had been a familiar sight in the manufactured home park for the past several weeks. Several garbage cans had been knocked over as evidence, said RCMP Const. Chris Doyle. Returning to the scene the following morning, Hogue said he was right under the tree the bear cubs had climbed when he
SAFETY IN BEAR COUNTRY Tri-City is bear country, so if you’re visiting local trails or walking on rural roads, it’s best to take precautions. Here are some tips: • Walk with a partner or with a group. • Make noise to let the bear know you are coming. • Keep your dogs leashed. • If you encounter a bear, stay calm: Stop and back up slowly; and never approach a bear. Call 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP) to report a problem bear.
Anmore looking to tighten up on trash By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

But he doesn’t blame anyone for the incidstrandberg@tricitynews.com
video-online]
Anmore’s garbage bylaw will be toughened up and residents issued with animal-resistant bins to reduce the potential for human/bear conflicts, says the village’s mayor. Heather Anderson, who said Monday’s bear attack at Countryside Village in Anmore is concerning, said the village council is working out the final details for the new garbage system, which will be implemented next spring. “We brought it up for discussion six weeks ago,” said Anderson, who said some bins are already available for $158 and have been purchased by a few homeowners. Anderson, who has young children, is concerned about bear activity in her neighbourhood and purchased one of the bins herself. “We want to eliminate the option to put out [garbage] bags, although the majority do put it out in sealed containers,” Anderson said. The village council was also expected to discuss the volunteer position of a Bear Aware co-ordinator at Tuesday’s meeting. “Anmore residents have lived with bears for a long time, we’re very aware of that issue,” she said. Council has met with both Coquitlam Bear Aware co-ordinator Drake Stephens and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore to talk about managing animal attractants. Anmore hopes to implement a system similar to one that has been in place for two years in PoCo. Meanwhile, the private operator who collects Anmore’s garbage says he welcomes the potential introduction of bear-resistant bins, even if it takes longer to pick up the waste. “I think it’s worth the effort,” said Kevin Spence, who noted animals, especially ravens, pick apart the trash and bears knock over the bins to get at the garbage. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
Court date to be set Aug. 29 in hit-and-run case By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The lawyer representing Cory Sater, the Coquitlam man charged with killing Lorraine Cruz and Charlene Reaveley in an alleged hit-and-run crash on Lougheed Highway in February, appeared in Port Coquitlam provincial court Monday. The provincial court judge, the Crown
prosecutor and Sater’s lawyer, Tony Serka, met only briefly, however, as Serka protested that he is still awaiting evidence from the Crown. “We’ve been waiting since March 24th for the accident REAVELEY reconstruction report, which is done but not signed off on,” Serka said.
The Crown prosecutor acknowledged Serka’s claim, saying, “We’re just not there yet.” Both sides agreed to reconvene Aug. 29 to set a date for trial, by which time Serka should be familiar with the CRUZ police’s reconstruction of the alleged crime scene, the lawyers agreed.
Sater, 37, faces 10 charges for the alleged hit-and-run deaths of Reaveley and Cruz, including two counts of impaired driving causing death, leaving the scene of an accident, and one count of impaired driving causing bodily harm for the injuries sustained by Cruz’s boyfriend, Paulo Calimahin, who was also struck in the crash. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

without committing to the cost of brand new equipment. The semi-annual sales have become increasingly popular and are beginning to draw buyers from outside the community. That bodes well for the organization, which has raised more than $200,000 and helped more than 1,000 kids participate in sports, according to KidSport co-chair Chris Wilson. “Sports equipment is often the highest cost item for a family when signing up a child to play organized sports,� Wilson said. “That’s why it is so important for us to host an event like this. We’re able to get quality, used equipment out to the community at amazing prices while at the same time giving families an opportunity to support KidSport
and get rid of the used equipment they don’t need any more.� Those people with some old hockey pads or dusty baseball cleats still have the opportunity to donate their equipment. Collections will continue up until Friday, Aug. 12 at the Port Moody and Port Coquitlam recreation complexes. Donations can also be made in front of the offices at Centennial, Riverside and Gleneagle secondary schools.

Hwy. 1 changes for King Edward overpass work Articles by Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Drivers heading east along Highway 1 in Coquitlam will have to veer a little to the right this week to make way for the new King Edward Street overpass. Starting Friday, construction crews will open the south detour lane while westbound highway motorists will see a new route start next Monday, just north of the viaduct. The plan is to level the freeway bump during the 12-week closure of King Edward Street to finish the overpass between Lougheed Highway and United Boulevard. Once complete in November, the overpass will span the CP Rail tracks on King Edward, with the freeway running under it. Mark Zaborniak, manager of design and construction for the city of Coquitlam, which is in charge of communications for the provincial project, said last Saturday’s closure of King Edward went ahead as planned. The Monday morning commute was relatively smooth, he said, but by the afternoon, traffic in the area was congested as drivers came to grips with the closure in its first week. City staff and Kiewit/Flatiron, the contractor for the Port Mann/Highway 1 project, are now “monitoring the traffic patterns and adjustments will be made over the next few days to improve the traffic flows, where possible,” Zaborniak said. Among those improvements are changes to directional signs to get to United businesses and reminders about new traffic flows (a third lane was added last Saturday for eastbound United drivers, between Burbidge Street and the Mary Hill Bypass; as well, the Taft Detour for United-to-westbound Highway 1 drivers is open from 2 to 8 p.m.). • For more information about the King Edward Street overpass work, call 604-927-3500 or email kingedward@coquitlam.ca; for the Port Mann/ Highway 1 project, call 1-866-999-7641. jwarren@tricitynews.com
8,400 dump truck trips About 8,400 dump trucks loaded with soil will drive up Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam over the next year or so to fill in three properties near DeBoville Slough. Last month, Coquitlam city council unanimously granted a conservation permit to the landowner, One World Farms Inc., for the second and third phases of a development that, when finished, will be an equestrian-style neighbourhood. Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s manager of development services, said a total of 85,000 cubic metres of soil will be loaded on the 13.5-hectare (33-acre) site at 4104 Cedar Dr., which is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve between Devon and Fremont streets. The trucks will access the area via Coast Meridian and the lower part of Victoria Drive in northeast Coquitlam, he said. Coquitlam city hall has retained a $10,000 damage deposit to recover any costs to repair the roads once the work is completed. The aim is to raise the site by two metres, up to the 100-year floodplain level of 4.58 m, as approved by the Agricultural Land Commission. The proposed neighbourhood, if approved, would include single-family homes, horse stables, a horse riding ring and exercise area for each property, according to a city report. Last year, the city placed a stop-work order after fill operations started without consent. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Korean cooks stir it up at city hall By Janis Warren
P T F L a w nmo w e r & Small Engine Repair
London, Paris, Berlin and Bangkok. And, now, Coquitlam. The latter is the latest in a list of cities where some young people from Korea will be serving a traditional dish to civic employees to promote their homeland. To d ay ( We d n e s d ay ) , 1 0 0 Bibimbap Tables hits Coquitlam city hall — the first time the event has been held in Canada — and it’s coming thanks to the efforts of Sam Seo, a Tri-City resident. Five cooks in their 20s will also serve the dish tonight in Vancouver to 100 civic employees and dignitaries. Bibimbap is a bowl of white rice topped with sautéed and seasoned vegetables and chilli pepper paste; a raw or fried egg and sliced meat are sometimes added. The food to be served today was to be prepared yesterday in a church kitchen. To date, the cooks have prepared bibimbap at 44 locations, including London, Paris, Madrid, New Delhi, Calcutta, Bangkok and Berlin as part of a marketing campaign by the Korean Food Foundation and Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Korea. Their aim is to highlight next year’s Korean Expo as well as the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang (last month,

Sam Seo Korea was named host country by the International Olympic Committee). “We want to promote Korea and invite the world, especially to these events,” said Seo, a member of the Tri-Cities’ Chamber of Commerce who organized the meal in Coquitlam’s council chambers because of his connection with Mayor Richard Stewart. Last fall, Stewart and city manager Peter Steblin toured Korea and China to get the word out about the city to business people and high school students there. Also on the two-week trip was Korean-Canadian businessman Ken Beck Lee, a former federal Liberal candidate who was instrumental in setting up a sister city relationship between Coquitlam and Paju, Korea, in 2009. Last Saturday, the 10th annual Korean Festival was held in Coquitlam, attracting thousands of spectators. The 100 Bibimbap Tables global tour ends in December. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Vandal’s sentence is upheld Coquitlam man convicted of one act of mischief By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Coquitlam man accused of keying 43 cars — but who was sentenced to a single count of mischief — had his appeal dismissed last month. Soo Yo Kim has already served a one-day sentence but sought to reduce his three-year probation and vary his conditions, which he said are too strict and do not allow him to attend church activities. The B.C. Court of Appeal disagreed, saying the period of probation and the terms imposed were satisfactory given the fact Kim had been charged with similar crimes before. Kim was sentenced to one year probation in 2006 over a case the sentencing judge said was identical to his latest

Kim was charged with 43 counts of mischief but was acquitted on all but one count. Investigators believed at the time that Kim may have had a grudge against ICBC. In 2005, Kim was also charged with 27 counts of mischief in connection with a rash of keyings in Burnaby but was later convicted on just two counts and sentenced to a year’s probation. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Yard Trimmings and Food Recycling A high-voltage transmission tower across the Fraser River from Coquitlam in Surrey is being shored up following a power outage last month.
Listen up: Pile-driving to stabilize hydro tower By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
If you hear hammering on a huge scale this week, this is what’s happening: BC Hydro crews are driving piles next to a high-voltage transmission tower along the Fraser River in Surrey that was destabilized by high water in June. The same erosion by the river caused a nearby tower supporting a different power line to fall July 4, triggering a large-scale power outage and forcing the closure of the Port Mann Bridge and other roads near the Cape Horn interchange in Coquitlam, where wires were dangling dangerously.
Workers will drive eight 100-footlong steel piles 36 feet into the river bed around the footings of the leaning tower. Rip rap has been placed to shore up the base of the tower over the past three weeks. The pile-driving will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. until Aug. 12. Once finished, support beams will be built to form a new foundation for the tower, which will be straightened. Hydro has so far been using guy wires to hold up the leaning tower. Both sets of power lines remain deenergized. BC Hydro has yet to say how it will devise a permanent solution to repair and re-power the 230- and 500-kilovolt transmission lines. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Not an island
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
A
ugust is sometimes seen as a summer doldrums period but such has not been the case on world economic markets, with stock markets in free fall, commodity prices crashing and the U.S. debt being downgraded for the first time in history. Canadians may believe they are somewhat insulated from all these troubles. After all, our housing market has stayed strong, the banking system is sound, the Canadian dollar has been above par with the U.S. buck for months and Canada has an enormous store of resources the world needs. Canada does have many advantages but it is far from immune from the ills that afflict our neighbours. As Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said last Friday, before Monday’s major sell-offs: “Canada is not an island. We are a trading nation, with about a third of output generated by exports and deep linkages with the U.S. economy. The global economic recovery remains fragile and this uncertainty may eventually impact Canada.” The softness of the economy can be seen in many areas. High gas prices all this year have affected consumer spending. Governments at all levels continue to want more tax dollars (including more gas tax) from taxpayers, most of whom are making no more than they were three years ago. These and other factors have kept people from spending money the way they did in the mid-2000s. Money isn’t as easy to come by and there is no sign that good times are coming anytime soon. There is no doubt the economy is changing and where it is going is hard for anyone to predict. But all of us are part of a global economy that has been hit by many challenges in recent years, from the U.S. sub-prime mortgage mess to European governments being unable to pay their debts. More of these types of unexpected occurrences will come along and Canada will have to deal with the fallout as it affects businesses and individuals here. All of it can be overwhelming, yet at the same time there is room for optimism. Canadians have weathered difficult times in the past and Canadian attributes of hard work, caution and innovation can come to the forefront again. But that is no reason for Canadians not to proceed with a great deal of concern. – The Langley Times (Black Press)
In B.C., it’s time to get smarter or just go broke BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA .C.’s job market held steady in July, with unemployment at 7.3%. The latest Statistics Canada job data were released as global financial markets teetered on the edge of another recession. B.C. was last reminded of its vulnerability to world events in late 2008 and early 2009, when financial markets froze up and governments around the world started frantically borrowing to bail out major industries. There are still idle construction cranes around B.C., although the vital commodity markets have recovered. It was the sickening skid in provincial revenues, which began to reveal itself during the 2009 election campaign, that triggered the B.C. government’s panicked grab for the harmonized sales tax and its transition fund. If blame is important to you, blame Stephen
B
Harper for the HST but please don’t believe Bill Vander Zalm and the NDP when they claim it was merely a political plot covered up with lies. The truth is much scarier than the scare tactics of these political opportunists. Globalization isn’t optional and there are lots of countries out there ready to beat us up and take our lunch money if we give them half a chance. The Canadian and U.S. central banks have held interest rates near zero since the crisis. If something more goes wrong, they are “out of bullets,” as economists say. Here’s another economic fact about the year 2011. For the first time in Canadian history, the majority of people with employersupported pensions now work for government or its agencies rather than the private sector. Despite all the political blather about left and right, more spending versus less, government keeps growing. That’s true for Canada and for B.C., where government grew every year of the allegedly tight-fisted

reign of Gordon Campbell. There has been lots of bleating about HST on adult-sized clothing for children. Claiming your hubby’s clothes are actually for a bulky child may be the oldest scam in sales tax evasion. This is an example of what economists call the paradox of public finance. Economists like consumption taxes because they’re difficult to avoid. Many taxpayers dislike them for the same reason. This is the road that leads to Greece, where tax evasion is considered a civil right, along with fat pay and pensions. The same population expects to go to university at little or no cost until they’re 30 and then retire at 55, with the whole apparatus somehow held up by the dwindling band of workers in between. The latest contract demands of the BC Teachers’ Federation give a sense of their Greece-like isolation from reality. Lengthy paid leaves, yet more paid professional development days, oh, and a double-digit wage increase after the rest of the public service
has accepted zero. I attended the recent BCTF convention in Victoria where this entitlement culture was on display. During a news conference about the BCTF’s many demands, someone stood behind Education Minister George Abbott and held up a sign for TV cameras that demanded “No Tankers.” This was no campus radical slipped in from the street. It was a middle-aged BCTF delegate, one of many decrying the industrial economy we need to pay for their pensions. B.C. aspires to be a shipbuilding economy but it can’t do shipping? According to our public sector union elites, we’re too precious to allow oil tankers in B.C.? Apparently, some have still failed to notice that oil tankers have been going up and down the coast for decades, and back and forth under the Lion’s Gate Bridge for years.

Beauty Unleashed!
TRI-CITYY LETTERS No parking The Editor, Re. “It’s Coast Meridian Highway” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 5). As someone who has lived for decades off the top end of Coast Meridian Road, I am dismayed at the traffic mess at the Prairie Avenue/ Coast Meridian intersection and avoid travelling that route whenever possible, thus robbing Port Coquitlam businesses of my shopping dollars. In reference to the complaint in Fay Wright’s letter: There may be signs prohibiting parking along Coast Meridian but these are frequently — and seemingly without penalty from PoCo city staff — ignored. Street parking in front of the strip mall and bank just north of Salisbury is particularly annoying; during weekday daylight hours, there are always one to four vehicles parked on a section of street clearly marked with “no stopping” signs. It seems that scofflaws win in this instance and right-turning vehicles have to squeeze by as they can. Maggie Fankboner, Coquitlam
Simple to save bears The Editor, Re. “Fed bear is now a dead bear” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 5). I’ll keep this letter short and to the point. Attention Tri-City residents: I’m sick and tired of having the same simple message ignored week after week. • Do NOT feed the bears. Period. • Keep your garbage secure until pick-up day. It’s easy. It’s simple. Now, just do it. Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam
Green response The Editor, Re. “Green Party gets lost in static over smart meters” (BC Views, The Tri-City News, Aug. 3). Columnist Tom Fletcher is correct: The 2009 BC Greens’ platform had a timeline that included hydro smart metering by 2012. We did not recommend wireless meters because, as Fletcher mentioned, we have precautionary policy on EMF radiation. Our policy was revised in 2010. The initiatives we wanted implemented prior to new meters — feed-in tariffs, time-of-day pricing and regional management boards — were not in progress at the end of 2009 so the timeline for smart metering was eliminated. Without being tied to substantial energy conservation, BC Hydro’s smart meter program is simply a different and more expensive way to collect data. A billion dollars invested in conservation and energy retrofits, diversifying to renewable energy or any number of priorities should precede changing meters. Fletcher may dismiss health concerns associated with WiFi but people have a right to feel safe and healthy in their own homes. Those who chose not to use wireless technology should not be forced to do so. As I said at the news conference, wireless smart meters are a technological solution looking for a problem. With shrewd marketing, the companies that developed wireless smart meters have become wealthy with sole-source contracts from government after government. At some point, given deficits and debt load, we will need to reverse the decision-making process so that long-term plans actually precede implementation of new technology. Other jurisdictions are putting moratoriums on or cancelling the installation of smart meters. We are recommending BC Hydro listen to valid privacy, security and health concerns and change course.

Voting machine fight gets ugly in Anmore Village councillor is expected to be censured for ‘disrespectful’ comments to colleagues By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
An Anmore village councillor was expected to be censured for harassment Tuesday night after an argument with the mayor over automated voting machines brought accusations of bullying and impropriety, and a visit from the RCMP. “I believe the censure will be supported by the majority of council,” Mayor Heather Anderson told The Tri-City Newss on Monday. The blow-up happened on the morning of July 20 at a special council meeting called to adopt a bylaw to allow the use of automated ballot-counting machines in Anmore’s Nov. 19 municipal election. An audio transcript from that meeting shows the argument between Mayor Anderson and Coun. Mario Piamonte began when Piamonte tried to give his reasons for rejecting the bylaw before the vote was taken. What the recording doesn’t show, according to the mayor, is the tirade of offensive language that Piamonte allegedly hurled at her and another councillor immediately following the meeting. Piamonte admitted yesterday to “saying
things that were inappropriate” in the mayor’s company but noted that he sent written apologies to the mayor and council on the Friday following the meeting. Despite the apologies, however, Piamonte received a phone call from the RCMP that Friday evening saying a complaint had been lodged ANDERSON against him, and a police visit to his Anmore home would be necessary to clear up the matter. “We just talked about it and I played him the tape of the meeting and that was it,” he said of the visit from the Mounties. Foremost among Piamonte’s initial concerns with the bylaw are what he said were the unnecessary costs of renting the automated voting machines for a municipality as small as Anmore. “We did a polling of like-sized communities,” Piamonte told his fellow councillors at the meeting. “Harrison Hot Springs, they don’t [use voting machines]. Bowen Island has no intention of doing it. Lions Bay, no intention. Cumberland, no intention. “The only one that has the intention of doing it is Chase, B.C. but they found that it cost them $2,000 more than their normal budget.” Village documents put the cost of renting the two required voting machines at $3,900, a price
Howard Carley, Anmore’s chief administrative officer, said is roughly on par with the normal cost of hiring ballot counters. Piamonte also expressed concern at the meeting that the voting machine bylaw had not been made public or even available to council in the meeting agenda on the PIAMONTE Friday before the vote, in accordance with the village’s procedure bylaws. Anmore’s manager of corporate services, Karen-Ann Cobb, said in the meeting that Anmore staff had been considering using automated voting machines since the 2008 election as a time-saving measure to count the village’s estimated 750 ballots. But when Piamonte asked Cobb why council had not been informed of the bylaw until the day before its reading, Cobb said she had no answer to that. It was then that Anderson interrupted the exchange, accusing Piamonte of harassing staff, while Piamonte accused the mayor of bullying council. Anderson told The News that according to the procedural bylaw, council should have been given more than the 24 hours allotted to review the agenda package but added that the agenda had to be rushed through because of provincial rules that all election bylaws must be set before Aug. 8.
The automated voting machine bylaw was approved 3-2, with the mayor and councillors John McEwen and Kerri Palmer Isaak voting in favour of the motion, and councillors Piamonte and Chris Sedergreen opposed. On July 29, Anderson wrote a letter to Coun. Piamonte informing him that a motion would be brought to the Aug. 9 council meeting to censure Piamonte “for his conduct towards members of council,” adding that he “has made ongoing derogatory and disrespectful comments about and to other members of council and in particular at a meeting dated July 20, 2011, made coarse and offensive statements about and to members of council.” In response, Piamonte released a statement to The Tri-City Newss on Monday saying, “If trying to get answers to questions about the new election bylaw legislation is wrong, then I am guilty as charged. Mayor Anderson rushed this legislation through council with flagrant disregard for procedural requirements. As usual, I fully expect this [censure] to pass 3-2 with councillors Isaak and McEwen rubber-stamping the mayor’s motion to censure me for doing what I consider to be my duty to the people who elected me.” Councillors Palmer Isaak, McEwen and Sedergreen could not be reached for comment. Anmore council was due to vote on censuring Piamonte at last night’s council meeting, after The Tri-City News’’ print deadline. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Paré Court, off Brunette Avenue, is named after one of Maillardville’s pioneering families. JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

#210 - 3190 St. Johns St., Port Moody, V3H 2C7
Council considers tribute to pioneers Coquitlam’s traditionally FrenchCanadian enclave may soon have plaques on some of its street posts to honour the pioneers who have roads named after them. T h e c i t y ’ s M a i l l a r dv i l l e Commercial and Cultural Revitalization Task Force recently made the suggestion to council to formally pay tribute to the pioneers and their families that settled in the area about 100 years ago and whose names appear on street signs around the community, including Paré Court, Booth Avenue and Allard Street. Emery Paré was Maillardville’s first police chief while Ralph Booth was reeve from 1904 to 1908 and his dairy far m was the site of many annual community picnics; Amedée Allard, a prominent logger, also served on council. At the last land use
committee, councillors asked city staff to work with the Maillardville Residents’ Association and the Coquitlam Heritage Society to look at ways to publicly acknowledge those pioneers by, perhaps, putting up honour plaques on street posts. Coun. Doug Macdonell said a registry of street names showing their origins should be created for the entire city — not just Maillardville. Honour plaques on buildings are commonplace in cities with long histories, said Mayor Richard Stewart, referring to his recent trip to Quebec City, so preserving the heritage of a city with only 100 years is vital. City engineers a r e n ow c o n s i d e ring upgrades to all of Coquitlam’s street signs to improve visibility, especially for the aging population, the task force heard. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Trail cold in search for missing man By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam RCMP are asking the public to once again help them locate a 23-year-old man who went missing nearly a year and a half ago. Shaun Chris MacDonald-McLaughlin of Coquitlam was last seen on the afternoon of March 12, 2010, at a friend’s home in Vancouver. He was reported missing to Coquitlam Mounties two weeks later, on March 27, but the trail
Setting it straight The Aug. 3 edition off The Tri-City Newss erroneously reported in a story titled “What are your $ priorities” that the Port Coquitlam Marlins Swim Club was seeking a new indoor pool. In fact, the organization is looking for funding to build a new outdoor pool to replace Centennial Pool at Aggie Park, which was built in 1958.
has since run cold. “There is no new information,” Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We just want to get the word out again to anyone who might know of him.” M a c D o n a l d -
McLaughlin is described as 5’11” tall, weighing approximately 140 lbs. with brown eyes; when last seen, he had long brown hair and a full beard. According to the RC M P, M a c D o n a l d -
McLaughlin had been diagnosed with mental health problems and may have stopped taking his medications before disappearing. He has friends in the Coquitlam and Vancouver areas.
A n yo n e w i t h i n formation about Shaun MacDonaldMcLaughlin or about someone matching his description is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency line at 604-945-1550
and speak to Const. J. Shewchuk or contact any local police department. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go to solvecrime.ca. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

AROUND & ABOUT: Things to do this summer in Burnaby
MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS
If you’re looking for a little history this summer, you might try visiting Burnaby Village Museum (above left), where buildings and activities harken back to older, simpler times in British Columbia. For food and much more — including murals (above right) — you could check out The Heights, the stretch of East Hastings Street in north Burnaby around Gilmore and Willingdon avenues.
Burnaby: History, arts & more Around & About is an occasional Black Press summer feature offering tips for Tri-City residents wishing to travel outside their communities for day trips.

urnaby used to be known as “The bedroom of Vancouver” but there’s nothing snooze-worthy about British Columbia’s third largest city. Italian dining, art and music, water sports, historical sites and re-enactments, and a multi-rink sporting centre are some of the activities available to those willing to make the short trip along the Trans-Canada, Barnet or Lougheed highways. Why not start at the top? Appropriately named, The Heights area of Hastings Street in north Burnaby is a great neighbourhood for shopping, eating and, by night, enjoying a stupendous view of city lights. This strip along Hastings near Willingdon Avenue has strong Italian roots and is a gourmet haven of delis, pasta and pizza restaurants, pastry shops and, last but not least, gelateria. Nothing says summer like a waffle cone stacked high with multicoloured scoops. Art and cultural activities are also plentiful in Burnaby, especially in the area around
MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS
Dance, visual arts and much more can be found at the Shadbolt Centre, located off of Canada Way in central Burnaby. Deer Lake Park. The Shadbolt Centre, situated off the Kensington exit to Canada Way and offering free parking to its patrons, exhibits artists from Burnaby and also features

Deer Lake on Aug. 13, which features singer k.d. lang, guitarist John Mayall and other great musicians. Replete with a turn-of-the-century blacksmith, apothecary and general store, Burnaby Village Museum at Deer Lake Park is a trip down memory lane for young and old alike. Jumping ahead a few decades, the William and Ruth Baldwin House at Deer Lake, designed by Arthur Erickson in 1965, still retains its vintage furniture from that era. It can be rented for weddings and all kinds of events, and its Japanese pond and views of the lake make it a perfect spot for a meditation retreat. For a bit of physical exercise, the shores at Deer Lake Park offer beautiful strolling grounds. Canoes, kayaks and paddle boats, along with all the necessary equipment, can be rented here. Sports enthusiasts might also want to check out Eight Rinks, located off the Trans Canada at (605 Sprott St.). This athletic centre boasts six NHL-sized rinks, one indoor soccer field and one figure skating rink. And just when the calorie count enters the red zone after chasing all those pucks or perfecting the triple axle, the Thirsty Penguin Grill boasts 1,000 seats and overlooks all eight playing fields. newsroom@tricitynews.com

’ve been leading children’s storytimes at the Terry Fox Library for 10 years and I’m still happy when it’s that time of day and I get to walk into the story room and read to children. Over the years, I definitely have discovered my favourite children’s books to read aloud to toddlers and pre-schoolers. Is Your Mama a Llama?? by Deborah Guarino is a wonderful, rhythmic book about a young llama, Lloyd, who asks all his friends if their mamas are llamas. He discovers in rhyme that their mamas are other types of animals. Steven Kellogg’s whimsical, detailed illustrations give children a clue to the next animal. Perfect for pre-schoolers and early readers. Owl Babies by Martin Waddell is about three little owls, Sarah and Percy and Bill, huddled together on a branch, worried their mother will not return. At last, she gracefully swoops back to the nest. This story reminds children that mommy always comes back. Stunning illustrations by Patrick Benson perfectly capture the plight of the anxious little owls. The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood is well-known and -loved by children all over the world. Little Mouse worries the Big Hungry Bear will take his freshly picked, ripe, red strawberry for himself. The Bear never makes an appearance and the narrator convinces the Mouse that the only way to save the red ripe strawberry from the big hungry Bear is to “cut it in half. Share half with me and we’ll both eat it all up. Yum!” Don Wood ‘s superb illustrations perfectly capture Little Mouse’s efforts to save the strawberry. Silly Sally y by Audrey Wood is an all-time favourite. Come along with Sally and her silly companions on their backwards, upside-down journey to town: “Dance a jig with a pig. Play leapfrog with a dog. Sing a tune with a loon.” These sing-song verses are simple enough for toddlers and catchy enough for pre-schoolers. Playful illustrations will spark the imaginations of young readers. Children
love to hear this story again and again and soon will be reciting the catchy rhymes. Whenever I read Dinosaurs Love Underpants by Claire Freedman at a storytime I am never sure if it is enjoyed more by the children or their parents. “Dinosaurs were all wiped out, a long way back in history. No one knows quite how or why. Now this book solves the mystery...” The author might just have the answer: underpants. “Laugh your pants off “ as T. rex and the gang try to take “man’s undies” in the mighty underpants war. Ben Cort’s hilarious illustrations add to the rollicking fun. Dinosaurs and underpants, as far as children are concerned, couldn’t be any funnier. The Seals on the Bus by Lenny Hort is an animal-filled version of the classic children’s song “The Wheels On The Bus.” Every time the bus stops, another kind of animal joins the commotion on the bus. Finally, a group of skunks gets on and the people on the bus yell, “Help, help, help!” If You’re Happy and You Know It!! by Jane Cabrera is another animal-filled version of a wellknown children’s song. Children clap along with a silly monkey and stamp with an enormous elephant. Both of these sing-along action books are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. If you are looking for more great titles, don’t hesitate to ask at your public library. Librarians are always more that happy to recommend books for you and your little ones who love to read. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Dianne Allan works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

Coquitlam’s Nancy Weng, who graduated from Pinetree secondary in June, emulates her life after Fang-Yi Sheu, a famous dancer who moved from her native Taiwan to pursue her passion. Sheu is now with the Martha Graham Dance Company in New York City.
‘I came to Canada to dance’ This summer, in a series called Bright Young Things, The Tri-City News will feature students who have spent hours outside of the classroom to study the arts and who plan to hone their creative skills after graduation to advance their careers.
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
W
hen Nancy Weng was four, her mother signed her up for private dance classes in her native Taiwan. The pre-schooler started with ballet, then moved to modern, Chinese traditional and jazz dance. Later, she would take hip hop and reggae. She quit twice. The first time, her middle school turned her down for its dance program “but I realized dance was important in my life so I studied very hard,” she recalled. The second time she was 16 when her high school rejected her for its dance course. “I got so upset. I told myself that God wants me to spend three more years.” Her mother and studio teachers were behind her, encouraging Weng to pursue her dream. And, so, at the age of 17, she immigrated to Canada — along with her father, step-mother, brother, step-brother and stepsister — to find an outlet for her passion. “I came to Canada to dance,” she said, but noted, “it hasn’t been easy for me.” With barely any English, Weng enrolled in Grade 10 at Pinetree secondary in Coquitlam, half way through the school year. Drama teacher and choreographer Nicole Roberge remembered Weng as “shy, scared
JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Pinetree secondary graduate Nancy Weng, 20, showed off some moves at her alma mater last week. and stormy but when she danced, she flew. Her talent was irrefutable and, before she could communicate clearly in English, she was coaching other dance students for our recital, using only basic counts and her movements.” Over the next year or so, Weng excelled in the school’s dance, drama and musical theatre programs and took part in school productions. In Grade 11, Weng choreographed a number for the Surreal Project 1 and, this past year, for the Surreal Project 2. And, as she got more comfortable on stage, her language skills also improved. This last school year, she was allowed to move into regular English classes and took English 11, English 12 and English Literature 12 to qualify her for post-secondary education. But, Weng admitted, it was tough to keep
her grades up. Take her weekends, for example: After school on Fridays, Weng bussed to Richmond to waitress from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. She stayed overnight at friend’s home in Richmond before starting her next shift, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Saturdays at the Stagecoach Theatre Arts Schools, where she volunteered as a dance assistant. She was back at the restaurant on Saturday nights and all day Sundays before returning to Coquitlam — by bus — to re-start her school week. Homework was crammed in between. “That’s why I didn’t really do well in my courses,” she said, crying. “I had no energy. I was always tired.” Still, she needed the money for her future, to live a dancer’s life like her idol Fang-Yi Sheu, a Taiwanese dancer who, like Weng,
found the Asian island too small for her ambition. (Sheu joined the famed Martha Graham Dance Company in New York City in 1995 as an apprentice and rose to become its principal dancer two years later; she is also the founder of the Lafa Dance Company.) Weng credits Roberge and Natalee Fera, Roberge’s successor at Pinetree, for helping her through this past school year. She calls both teachers her “best friends,” especially for offering a shoulder to cry on when she felt alone and got down. “I have come across so many kids who have either natural talent, hardworking discipline and artistic passion, but rarely do you see all three things together in one person and not to the extent that Nancy Weng has,” Fera told The Tri-City News by email last week. “To some, a triple threat in the theatre is someone who can sing, dance, and act. To me, an artist that is a triple threat is someone who has artistic talent, discipline and passion. “Nancy is a true triple threat,” she said. As for her next step, Weng plans to retake English 12 to improve her grade. Though she was recently turned down by the Toronto Dance Theatre, she intends to apply for “all universities” in the new year so she can train as a professional choreographer and earn her bachelor of fine arts degree. “I have been given so many opportunities here — dancing solo and creating my own dances — that I couldn’t do back home. I feel that dancing is the only way I can express myself and I want to tell people what’s on my mind, to tell them a story through dance.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

We grew up with the Tri-Cities. For closing in on 2 decades, Wah Wing has been the standard set for Asian Cuisine in our area. It has been consistently voted one of the most popular eateries of any type, year after year. Now serving its 2nd generation of Tri-City residents, it’s pretty obvious they are here to stay. As they reflect over the years, they fondly remember serving the first generation of families, whose children were in booster chairs, and are now bringing their own dates, spouses and in some cases their own children back for Wah Wing’s fabulous cuisine. It’s this outstanding food that keeps loyal followers coming back, but the new decor makes each visit seem even more special. The freshly renovated room has been totally revamped from the new carpeting right up to the brilliant chandelier, complete with 690

PORT COQUITLAM
A festival of arts, culture
& entertainment
Summer starts with Port Coquitlam’s Summer in the City Festival, featuring free outdoor concerts, cinema under the stars, farmers markets, summer camps and so much more! Emilie LeClerc will teach young people in mask and physical theatre classes at Place des Arts in Coquitlam this fall. PHOTO SUBMITTED
Mask, writing classes Coquitlam’s Place des Arts recently enlisted a new teacher for its theatre arts department. Starting next month, Emilie LeClerc will instruct young people in mask and physical theatre as well LECLERC as co-teach a new Next Stage performance course for teens with James O’Shea. LeClerk has a bachelor of arts degree from McGill University with a minor in English drama and is a graduate of Langara College’s Studio 58 professional acting training program. Her three mask and physical theatre classes on Saturday mornings are for kids aged six to 17 and focus on movement and creative expression to tell a story and create characters. Meanwhile, by popular demand, published author James McCann is back at the Maillardville facility to teach three creative writing classes including fantasy writing for teens. Young scribes, aged 13 to 19, can imagine the world of Harry Potter and the Twilight series by putting
pen to paper for their compositions in this course. Students will also explore mythologies and learn how to get their writing in print. McCann will also instruct nineMCCANN to 12-year-olds in Creative Writing I and II, showing students — using games as a brainstorming tool — how to create characters and narratives. His Creative Writing II is for slightly more experienced writers who have the ability to finish a story by the end of the course run; participants’ work will be added to a class anthology in an eBook format. McCann is the author of three young adult novels. Orca Book Publishers published his fourth novel Flying Feet about mixed martial arts, last May. McCann’s three classes at PdA run on Monday afternoons and evenings, starting in September. To sign up or to learn more, call 604664-1636 or visit www.placedesarts.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Positive art for teen contest Sharpen your pencils, Tri-City teens: A new art contest promoting pop culture and positive messaging is underway this week in Port Coquitlam. Applicants have until Friday to submit their sketches — showing images such as celebrities, skateboarding and television programs — to Ink & Honey Tattoo Shop (4-1449 Prairie Ave., Port Coquitlam). And the three shortlisted candidates will not only create their work live at Lions Park on Saturday, but they’ll also get a chance to have their art shown in high-exposure locations like on a utility box, at Leigh Square Community Arts Village and at Stiffy’s Boardshop (2-1449 Prairie Ave.). The idea for “Pop Culture, Positive Art” came from Melanie Prokop of POP! Skateboarding, who’s
contracted by the city of Port Coquitlam to program activities at RailSide skateboard park. “This is all about giving youth opportunities to express themselves artistically at a high-profile event,” PoCo youth co-ordinator Russ Brummer said in a news release. Besides the art showdown, which starts at 1 p.m. and will be judged by PoCo youth workers, Coquitlam RCMP, PoCoMo Youth Services and Ink and Honey tattoo artists, youth bands will play, a Skate Jam will be held at RailSide and there will be a hotdog barbecue from the Project Reach Out bus. • For more information on the Aug. 13 event, call 604-927-7938 or visit www.pocoyouth.com.

Second-period spree spurs Jr. A’s to win By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies are putting up the fight of their lives and it’s still not enough to take the punch out of the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs. The defending Minto Cup-champion Jr. A’s scored five goals on just nine shots in the second period to fend off the Jr. ’Bellies 10-7 Monday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex to take a 2-1 lead in the best-ofseven B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league playoff final series. Game 4 goes tonight (Wednesday) at Queen’s Park Arena, with Game 5 slated for Thursday back in Coquitlam. The series winner will represent B.C. at this year’s Minto Cup tournament in Okotoks, Alta. The Jr. A’s snapped a 1-1 deadlock after
the first period by out-scoring New West 9-6 the rest of the way, keyed by four goals from Ben McIntosh. Other Coquitlam marksmen were Ryan Johnson, Travis Cornwall, Patrick Omeara, Kevin Neufeld, Chancy Johnson and Jackson Decker, who added four assists. Brandon Bertoia supplied three helpers for the winners. “Lacrosse is a momentum game and it can swing at any time,” said Jr. A’s veteran Michael Krgovich, who assisted on Johnson’s second-period goal as Coquitlam erupted for five goals in a 3:22 span to take a 6-1 margin before the Jr. ’Bellies started to claw back. “The other team is going to score goals, it’s just a matter of how you handle it and I thought we did that well. I’m proud of the way we played.”
New West actually out-shot the Jr. A’s 43-30, with Coquitlam goalie Steve Fryer turning in a stellar 36save performance. Keegan Bal and Reagan Harding each tallied twice for the Jr. ’Bellies, who got singles from Mark Negrin, Brandon Goodwin and Justin Salt. The Jr. A’s finished the regular season a perfect 21-0, while New West was next at 16-5. That matters little now, Krgovich said. “It’s a whole different mindset playing to get into the Minto Cup,” said Krgovich, whose dad, John, is a former Sr. Salmonbellie standout. “Things that happen in the regular season don’t always happen in playoffs. Things are tighter now and one play can turn things around fast. “Any time you can steal home-court advantage back is great. But we’re going into a

hostile environment Wednesday and it’s not going to be an easy game. It’s been a tough series so far and I expect it to continue. We can’t sit back and expect to succeed. We have to earn it.” On Saturday, the Jr. A’s evened the series 1-1 with a 6-4 triumph in New West. Coquitlam led 3-2 after the first period and the teams were knotted 4-4 after two before Omeara bagged what proved the winner at 4:52 of the third. Bertoia netted his second goal of the game with an insurance marker at the 10:22 mark. Matthew Dinsdale also struck net twice for the winners, while Decker also scored. Cornwall and Casey Jackson dished out three assists apiece. The Jr. A’s outshot the Jr. ’Bellies 45-37, with Fryer blocking 33 shots. New West stole Game 1 of the series 7-6 last Wednesday in Coquitlam.
