Reminder for grads Students at Dr. Charles Best secondary school in Coquitlam celebrated Road Safety Awareness Day on Tuesday with a bang — albeit a fake one. A mock car crash was set up on Como Lake Avenue in front of the school in order to give the several hundred students who witnessed the event an idea of what a real emergency looks like. Drama students covered in fake blood were sprawled out across the road before emergency crews attended the scene, shortly after 10 a.m. “Always at this time of year, our thoughts turn to the safety and well-being of our students, especially our graduates,” said Best principal Mary O’Neill. “We decided to host this vivid demonstration in order to bring home to our Best community the importance of safe and responsible behaviour while driving.” Car crashes still lead the way in preventable causes of death among young people and Coquitlam RCMP said the purpose of this year’s mock crash is to raise awareness.

Insurance costs shut PoMo’s Flavelle mill By Sarah Payne

IN QUOTES

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Flavelle sawmill in Port Moody has had to shut down because of soaring insurance premiums in the wake of two fatal sawmill explosions in B.C.’s Interior. F lavelle Sawmill Company’s Mill and Timber Products Ltd. went from paying about $300,000 annually to just over $1 million, according to news reports, and that hike only compounds problems for a company already strug-

gling with flagging markets. Following fatal explosions at Babine Forest Products in Burns Lake and another in Prince George, WorkSafeBC has ordered all sawmills in the province to inspect their premises

for dust build-up. Heavy dust build-up has been widely speculated to be the cause of the explosions, mainly due to processing the tinder-dry pine beetle wood. see NO RISK RISK,, page A13

Coq. is bearing down on garbage scofflaws By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

C o q u i t l a m ’s n e w urban wildlife co-ordinator said he’s cautiously optimistic that there will be fewer bears around to get into garbage this year because several young cubs whose mothers were killed are no longer in the area. The seven cubs are living at the Critter Care Wildlife Society facility

BEARS+MATH=DEATH Please see editorial on page A10 in Langley and will be released into the wild this spring, where they will eat natural foods instead of learning how to get into garbage, a prime reason many bears get destroyed each year. But Drake Stephens

said other bears may still wander into the TriCities if people don’t make an effort — now and through to fall — to lock up their garbage and secure other bear attractants. This is the time of year when sows typi-

cally send their cubs out to fend for themselves, Ste phens said, and “when they get kicked out by mom, they can become problems.” The weather will also d e t e r m i n e wh e t h e r there is a good supply of natural food; if food supply dwindles, more bears may hike down from the mountains into urban greenbelts. see ENFORCEMENT, O C , page g A133 also: HOW THEY VOTED, A3

Hansen ‘proof that life’s not over when you have a spinal cord injury,’ says PoCo man Second in a series of articles leading up to the Rick Hansen Relay through the Tri-Cities on May 17 and 18.

By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

ob Whyte remembers the day he first saw Rick Hansen like it was yesterday. He and a friend travelled to Mission to catch a glimpse of the Man in Motion on his triumphant return after wheeling around the world to raise money for spinal cord research, and they knew it would be next to impossible to squeeze in to the crowds that would later be waiting for him on Thermal Drive in Coquitlam. “It was great, it was absolutely great,” Whyte recalled. “I was so proud of him, to know he had a spinal cord injury” and had wheeled around the world. It was in the spring of 1987, two years after a skiing accident rendered Whyte a quadriplegic. The accident struck in the prime of Whyte’s life. He was 45, a rising star as a western Canadian sales manager in a Fortune 100 company and an avid sports enthusiast, typically waking in the pre-dawn hours to squeeze in a game

of squash or handball before heading to the office. Whyte and his wife, Sharon, were also busy raising three children, with weekends and vacations spent skiing at Big White or fishing in the Gulf Islands. Then in the spring of 1985, Whyte convinced a colleague to stay on the West Coast for the weekend before going

to a sales meeting in Edmonton so they could head up to Whistler for a day of skiing. The accident on that May 5 left Whyte a quadriplegic but a relatively lucky one. Three weeks later, he started to get some feeling back and, in October, just seven months after the accident, he walked out of the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver. “The fellow I was with [that day in Mission] was a paraple-

gic, and I was a walking quadriplegic. We found a spot on the side of the road and there were people lining up all the way out there.” Whyte had been busy raising money for the Rick Hansen Foundation — more than $1,600 from friends and colleagues who never expected a paralyzed man could swim, let alone so many laps. “They thought I was swimming in a regular pool,” Whyte winked, revealing his fundrais-

ing drive actually took place in a pool where the “lengths” were more like widths. No matter, Whyte said. He collected the money and brought the cheque in person to the Rick Hansen Foundation office in Vancouver. “I was so proud of it, to raise that money,” he said. He’ll be feeling that same sense of pride next week when he joins the Rick Hansen medal relay, carry-

ing the medal from Shaughnessy Street to celebrations at Leigh Square on May 17. Whyte said he was thrilled to hear the news he was chosen for the relay after being nominated by Bruce Hansen, president of the Wilson Centre Advisory Association. “I’m really excited, absolutely,” Whyte said. “Rick Hansen has done a phenomenal thing, he’s raised a lot of money for spinal cord research... and he’s

made people aware of spinal cord injuries. “He’s an inspiration to everybody and proof that life’s not over when you have a spinal cord injury.” spayne@tricitynews.com

Shots fired at empty home Cops say shooters may have sought grow op By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Balmoral Avenue family woke up just after 4 a.m. Monday to the sound of shots being fired next door. â€œI woke up to the sound of rolling gunfire,â€? said Norm Hansford, whose bedroom window sits less than 20 feet from where nearly a dozen bullet casings were found by police. â€œIt was almost like a machine gun,â€? added his wife, Jan Hansford. Norm Hansford said he jumped out of bed and saw two cars â€” a Honda Civic and an older Ford Tempo â€” and a heard a man say, â€œLetâ€™s go, bro,â€? as he got into one of the cars. Nearly a dozen bullet casings littered the driveway of the bungalow but none seemed to have hit the house or any nearby vehicles, leading neighbours to wonder what the shooter was aiming at. The Hansfords said the house next to them in the 1500-block of Balmoral Avenue has been rented out a few times in the past year

SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam RCMP officers examine the scene of a shooting Monday morning at a rental house in the 1500-block of Balmoral Avenue. The home was reportedly empty. or so but the last tenant, a man in his 20s, moved out about a month ago. They suspected the house contained a marijuana grow operation because the blinds were always drawn and the windows were often fogged up. Just before the shooting started, the Hansfords heard what sounded like a door being kicked in. Coquitlam RCMP investigators believe the house was targeted but there was no sign of a grow op, said Cpl. Jamie Chung. â€œWhen we went to the house, we found the

door was wide open and they went inside to clear the house and basically found no one,â€? he said, confirming the house was empty. Of ficers from the major crime section, as well as general duty officers, are investigating and do not believe the neighbourhood is at risk. Chung said itâ€™s not clear whether the shooter was aiming towards the street or back yard, adding the police are asking for the publicâ€™s help in providing them with information. â€œEven at that time of the morning, some-

body may have seen something out there or heard a name before the shots were being fired,â€? Chung said. Police believe the suspect or suspects left in one or more vehicles after shooting at the house but there are very limited descriptions related to the people or vehicles involved. Anyone with information is asked to contact Coquitlam RCMP at 604945-1550 and quote file number 2012-12027 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477. spayne@tricitynews.com

Changes planned for Beedie’s Fraser Mills Construction to start in 2013 on the riverfront

with the economic downturn in 2008 as well as the leasing of part of the Fraser Mills site to Kiewit/Flatiron to build segments of the new Port Mann bridge, Beedie has had time on its side to refine its plans (Phase 1 construction won’t affect Kiewit’s staging area, he said). “They have made a good plan better,” McIntyre said, while commenting on Beedie’s sizeable contributions to the city for the waterfront village, which include: • $5 million for the city’s affordable housing fund;

The first phase of a mega-development that will remake the riverfront land where Coquitlam began more than a century ago is expected to begin next year. T h i s we e k , D ave Gormley, vice-president of land development for Beedie Living, told the city’s council-incommittee a number of changes have happened in the design for the planned 89-acre Fraser Mills waterfront village and those changes will require official community plan, zoning and development agreement amendments. Changes proposed for the project, which city council approved in 2008, include building the main retail street as part of Phase 1, adding more public and private open spaces, increasing the size of the main plaza, creating more mid-rise buildings and redesigning the 330-foot pier on the Fraser River. Gor mley said the changes are a result of consulting architect Gre gory Henrique z, whom Beedie recently hired. Henrique z is known for his work on the Woodward and Telus buildings as well as the Coal Harbour community centre, all in downtown Vancouver. At the council-incommittee meeting, Henrique z said the Fraser Mills project “is something an architect only sees four or five

Gor mley said he expects the revised plans to for mally go to the city this summer or early fall, with construction on Phase 1 starting next year and lasting two years; the build-out of Fraser Mills is expected over

Highrises for Windsor Gate City will hold a public meeting but neither it nor rezoning required By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Three low-rise buildings planned for the former site of a mobile home park in Coquitlam could soon be constructed as highrises instead — and the city would get a chunk of change as a result. O n M o n d ay, c i t y council voted to hold a public meeting on May 28 on Polygon’s bid to amend its 2007 Windsor Gate Development Agreement; the proposed changes include two planned eight-storey buildings jumping to 24 storeys apiece and an approved four-storey block skyrocket to 37 storeys. If council approves the proposed changes, the city would g et $500,000 to pay for Phase 2 of the Glen Park redevelopment — located across the street from the Windsor Gate community — and another $1 million for the city’s transit fund to pay for

and feelings of being “misled” about the development when they bought their homes. At Monday’s meeting, several council members also expressed concern about Windsor Gate residents and investors being blindsided by the changes (besides the height variance, Polygon wants to add more amenities, including a new central space, public greenway and additional indoor amenity space). Coun. Neal Nicholson said he has heard from several Windsor Gate homeowners, some of whom like the upgrades, some of whom oppose

them; he said all are pleased that Polygon has kept them in the loop. Nicholson also said the city is “going beyond what is required of us” by hosting a public meeting. As Polygon already has Windsor Gate rezoned for highrises, a statutory public hearing isn’t necessary, city clerk Jay Gilbert told council. “I think this is arguably a better project,” Mayor Richard Stewart said while Coun. Brent Asmundson urged Polygon to create unique highrises to enhance the city’s skyline.

New sidewalk dining regs Coquitlam has fee schedule for chairs and tables By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Cafe and restaurant owners wanting to set up tables and chairs on city sidewalks in Coquitlam can now have their patrons dine al fresco. At Monday’s meeting, city council passed a new sidewalk cafe use policy that charges businesses for the privilege of placing tables, chairs, sun umbrellas and standing signs on city sidewalks or pedes-

Chance to Choose is back in biz By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

An employment skills program for at-risk youth is running again after regaining its funding for a year and setting out a new course of action. A Chance to Choose will continue to offer employment skills training and certificate programs out of a Port Moody office but youth will learn how to develop their own businesses instead of fundraising for community projects. Co-ordinator Evelyn Humphreys said the program will still teach food safe and first-aid, interviewing and resumewriting techniques but participants will learn about agriculture, entre preneurship and bringing produce to market, as well. They’ll be expected to operate a business using a community garden in Port Coquitlam as a base. The program is operating on reduced Service Canada funding with a year-long contract and fewer employees but Humphreys said the arrangement works because the young people who are being accepted are slightly older and better able to work on their own. She’s also looking at developing partnerships to raise funds. For example, A Chance to Choose has a partnership with Cob’s Bread in Port Moody’s Suter Brook complex, where partial proceeds will go to the program when shoppers mention they are supporters. “We’re looking for any way to be sustainable,” Humphreys said. Last Friday, Chance to Choose broke ground at the garden, located at 2420 Mary Hill Rd. For more information, contact 604-931-5889. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

trian rights of way. The permit levies are based on the number of movable items put outside during operating hours: three tables and six chairs will cost $125 annually; six tables and 12 chairs will cost $250 per year; and nine tables and 18 chairs will cost $375 annually. Coun. Lou Sekora opposed the regulation at Monday’s council meeting, saying the city is overtaxing businesses. “I think it’s going way too far. We are killing business,” he said of the new table and chair fees. But Mayor Richard Stewar t argued the policy “is a great help

for the businesses and it’s something they have been asking for,” he said, commenting that the costs were moderate. “I think this is very pro-business,” Coun. Terry O’Neill added. “We are enhancing our street life.” Other Coquitlam council news:

SHARK FIN BAN

C o u n . M a e Re i d served a notice of motion this week to call for a ban on shark fins in Coquitlam. Her motion, which is set to be debated at next Monday’s city council meeting, follows a plea from Fin Donnelly, a

former Coquitlam councillor and now New Westminster-Coquitlam N D P M P, wh o l a s t November launched a petition to stop the import of shark fins to Canada. The fins are used to make soup in some Chinese restaurants. Donnelly said shark overfishing has resulted in the near-extinction of several species. Reid’s motion, if approved, would apply to the possession and sale of shark fins within the city limits. Port Moody city council was to vote last night (Tuesday) on a similar motion. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Nos. don’t lie, bears just die

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

t’s too bad bears aren’t good at math. They’re great at eating and that’s what drives them to the Tri-Cities looking for easy calories. But if bears were better with numbers, they would know better than to hang around here because according to the most recent stats from the Coquitlam Bear Aware campaign, a fed bear equals a dead bear. These numbers show that one bear is destroyed for every 100 calls to the Provincial Conservation Officer Service’s 24-hour toll free line. Last year, for example, 889 calls were made to Victoria by Coquitlam residents and eight bears were destroyed while four were relocated. The year previous, 930 calls were made and nine bears were destroyed and three located, and so it goes. Except for a few down years, when natural food was available, the 100:1 ratio applies. Many blame the problem on conservation officers and will refuse to call the tip line for fear of getting a bear killed. That’s the wrong decision to make because if authorities can get to a neighbourhood early enough to rid an area of a garbage problem, bears will move on, hopefully back to the forest for natural food. Left for the problem to worsen, a neighbourhood becomes a prime eating destination for bears, as in the case of a Port Coquitlam neighbourhood last year where garbage was left unsecured and six bears had to be shot for habituation to humans’ leftovers. We don’t know exactly how much bear habitat has been destroyed in recent years but we have seen a steady stream of bears coming into our neighbourhoods looking for food. Unless we take responsibility for our garbage and stay on top of the issue, we must take the blame for the bear problem. Since the bears can’t, it’s up to Tri-City residents to do the math — and the right thing —by properly securing their trash and other attractants, and calling in problems as they arise.

Oil tanker debate in B.C. is sinking to new low BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he provincial NDP has ramped up its opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline. First, the party formalized objections already expressed by NDP MLAs who have spoken at hearings held by the federal review panel along the B.C. coast. Leader Adrian Dix sent an 11-page letter to the panel, then launched an attack on the BC Liberal government in the legislature that emphasized the letter’s top objection. Why doesn’t Premier Christy Clark stand up to Ottawa and protest the abandonment of the long-standing “moratorium and exclusion zone” on oil tankers off B.C.’s north coast? That’s what Dix and NDP energy critic Rob Fleming demanded. Clark’s answer was the same one given for many years by federal and provincial governments: The 1972 federal “moratorium”

2012 CCNA

was directed at offshore oil drilling, not tankers bound for B.C. A separate Canada-U.S. agreement in 1998 calls for U.S. tankers to avoid B.C.’s Inside Passage as they transport Alaska crude oil to refineries in Washington state and further south. I asked Fleming for documentation that shows tankers are banned from B.C.’s north coast. He said it is “fragmented,” which means he doesn’t have any. Nor does the NDP’s heavily footnoted letter to the federal panel offer any source for this assertion. This argument flared up in 2006 after Methanex Corp. shut down its Kitimat methanol plant. Instead of shipping methanol out, a practice that was never questioned, it started bringing tankers into the Kitimat port loaded with a liquid natural gas byproduct called condensate. From there, it is sent by rail to Alberta to dilute oil sands crude. This process led to Enbridge’s proposed double pipeline that would send condensate east and diluted crude west. The Dogwood Initiative, one of the multiple U.S.-funded groups that now dominate

B.C.’s environmental lobby, rose to protest these early condensate shipments, saying they violate a moratorium on tankers. Wrong, said Don Rodden, superintendent of environmental response for the Canadian Coast Guard Pacific Region. The 1972 moratorium “wouldn’t apply to vessels coming into Canadian ports like Kitimat,” Rodden told the Globe and Mail at the time. The Coast Guard would be the agency legally required to enforce such a tanker ban, if one existed. As I’ve mentioned before, there are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal but this hippy fantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. Then there is the hypocrisy and pro-U.S. bias that is so clearly evident in the manipulated B.C. debate. The Northern Gateway pipeline would generate as many as 350 tanker trips each year to and from Kitimat. More than twice that many tankers already sail each year through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, past the Gulf and San Juan islands. Many are head-

ing to refinery complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington. These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days. Strangely, this U.S. crude traffic excites no protests. Some of the smaller tankers come in to fill up from the TransMountain pipeline in Burnaby, whose operator is preparing a bid for expansion. This attracts protests organized by people paid to oppose Alberta “tar sands” oil. Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. filling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refinery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refining capacity in southern B.C.? We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only. Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS The Editor, Frequently, it seems, we hear bad news about patient experiences in some B.C. hospitals. Our family knows something about this personally. Happily, our experiences with Eagle Ridge Hospital over the years since it opened in 1984 have been good ones, with high-quality service in a welcoming environment from a thoroughly professional medical staff. We want to see our Tri-Cities health centre develop so it has the resources to continue to deliver such fine outcomes to patients whose numbers are increasing with changing demographics and a growing population in Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Anmore and Belcarra. That’s one reason, as a volunteer supporting the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation,

I was pleased to join a community advisory group providing input to a team developing a Master Concept Plan for ERH through a project jointly sponsored by the foundation and the Fraser Health Authority. At a recent workshop, the group heard about significant progress in this project, with clinical needs and desires being identified and with base engineering and architectural work being done so priorities for the growth of ERH can be fully and properly established perhaps by mid-year. At least two members of the advisory group have personal stories of life-saving attention at ERH. They have no hesitation in expressing pride in ERH and its competent, dedicated and, as one said, “all too humble” team of medical

service providers. The FHA team demonstrated their professionalism and their willingness to listen to and encourage feedback from the community as they seek to set out priorities for the next five, 10 and 20 years. Then there will be a need for the community to support of a capital plan to help fund the growth at a site the architects and engineers believe offers excellent opportunities to create a super wellness environment for staff, patients and visitors. I encourage anyone in our community with good ideas to communicate them to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, Fraser Health or ERH. It’s worth the effort to keep this valuable resource strong and healthy. Jim Peacock, Port Moody

The tax gap

The Editor, Re. “Close taxation gap, says mayor” (The Tri-City News, May 4). Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore wants to discuss the imbalance between residential and business taxes. May I remind the mayor that when discussing these perceived differences, he take into consideration the fact that businesses get to deduct 100% of property taxes on their tax return. I would also caution Mayor Moore not to buy into what is being lobbied by special interest groups but to look around and see that PoCo continues to attract both new businesses and residential development. Is that not the balance that a city wants? I believe if PoCo council worked a little harder on balancing city spending and for two or three years we had no tax increases, this would be far more helpful to the businesses and taxpayers of PoCo than trying to rebalance what is perceived by a special interest group as being unfair.

Enforcement to be stepped up in Coq. continued from front page

To avoid situations such as last year, when eight bears were destroyed in Coquitlam, four for becoming garbage habituated, Stephens will be stepping up garbage bylaw enforcement. He has an assistant who will help him educate residents about the importance of securing their garbage and those who don’t clean up their attractants could be fined $500. Last year, no fines were issued although over 90 warning letters were handed out, 193 notices of violation were issued and approximately 400 homes were visited. This year, the city might not be so lenient with second- or thirdtime of fenders and homeowners should be aware of the importance of securing their garbage and other attractants, such as compost, bird seed, pet food and ripe fruit and berries. Conservation of ficers will also be able to hand out fines and city workers will be scouring neighbourhoods looking for people who leave their garbage out overnight. “With extra resources and my ability to ticket, we’re not going to be ignoring people,” Stephens said, noting the city wants people to put their kitchen waste

As Coquitlam’s newly appointed urban wildlife co-ordinator, Stephens has other concerns besides bears and will be responsible for educating citizens about safety and responsibility around other animals that have made the Tri-Cities home, including skunks, raccoons, coyotes and even cougars and bobcats. Coquitlam doesn’t have as great a wildlife problem as other cities, said Stephens, but citizens still need to take

precautions and ridding their yards of attractants is a good first step. New brochures are being produced to educate residents about these animals and Stephens will be visiting schools, ESL classes and community groups to talk about living with wildlife. “We won’t just be bear-centric,” he said, although bear strategies also work with other animals. “It’s a matter of being smart about knowing how to live with them — making sure you don’t have places for them to nest under and find a safe harbour for denning. You don’t want to provide homes for raccoons and skunks or they’ll eventually do property damage.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

No risk at PoMo mill

B u t F l av e l l e ’ s D av i d G r ay t o l d CTV News that isn’t an issue at the Port Moody mill. Gray said wood processed in PoMo is “soaking wet” because it comes out of the ocean, and there is no risk of the facility exploding. Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said the sawmill contributes about $1.4 million annually to the city’s tax base and its shutdown “could have an effect on us.” But he noted the c o m p a n y ’s l o n g term plan is to develop its waterfront property, with everything from a hotel to a marina and artist studios being suggested. “There’s lots of discussion that’s taken place around that site in the last 20 years but as long as it’s operating as a mill, it’s been a moot point,” Clay said. “If they move ahead o n d eve l o p m e n t , there will be a huge impact on the tax base in Port Moody, so there are lots of variables.”

Hatchery facility robbed

Honda pump, other items taken in robbery Thieves hit a Coquitlam non-profit environmental group twice in two nights last week. C o q u i t l a m RC M P is investigating breakins on April 29 and 30 at the outdoor enclosure at the Hoy Creek hatchery building, behind Princess Gate, according to Caresse Selk, the city of Coquitlam’s environmental stewardship co-ordinator. Thieves made away with a Honda pump as well as other items. The city owns the hatchery facilities but the Hoy/Scott Creek Watershed Society owns the contents and insurance issues are being worked out, Selk said. She also asked that residents in the area — people who live in the condos along the Hoy Creek trail as well as others who use the trails — keep their eyes and ears open, and report any suspicious activity to police.

New tools to get transit fines By Jeff Nagel

A more detailed version of this story is online at www.tricitynews.com.

BLACK PRESS

TransLink will get new powers to collect unpaid fare evasion fines stretching back up to 10 years from transit cheaters who almost never pay when they are ticketed. Legislation introduced Monday by the province will require ICBC to refuse driver’s licence and vehicle registration renewals — something that wasn’t being done previously. Since only an estimated 30% of the transit cheaters who don’t pay their $173 fines have cars or driver’s licences, that will only go so far. For the rest, TransLink will now be authorized to deny transit service, dispatch bill collectors, launch court claims and — if necessary — even ask the province to withhold payments such as income tax refunds. “The free rides are over,” Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said, adding the changes will be retroactive. “We can reach back on debts owed and we plan to do that.” Unpaid fare evasion fines averaged $4 million a year over the past 10 years, Lekstrom said, but predicted it would be impossible to collect anywhere near the $40 million outstanding. TransLink will now get the money and use it to defray enforcement costs. In the past any fines paid went to the province. While the costs of pursuing cheats may eat up the bulk of money recovered, TransLink expects a net gain and that it will also receive more in fares

as cheating diminishes. “We’re not going to spend $10 to get $2 back,” Lekstrom said. “If we have $180 outstanding and it costs more than $180 to collect it I would suggest you’re not going to collect that.” The current toothless enforcement system had

persisted for years despite repeated TransLink requests for chang e. Lekstrom promised action this spring after renewed public criticism, saying he was unaware of the problem. But it’s unclear exactly how the new arsenal of changes will work, partic-

ularly a claim TransLink can ban scofflaws from the system or refuse to sell monthly passes to those with unpaid fines. “We have to take the time to digest how this will work,” TransLink chief operating officer Doug Kelsey said, adding rules and bylaws have to be developed. He said TransLink will collect tickets from now on, while the province may be responsible for pursuing the historic backlog as

“It’s not just going to be another walk across Canada. We want to empower young people to do things and we want to create an educational legacy. If we can get that, we’re there.”

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

From left, Jeannie Wong, Grace Chiang, Joe Roberts, Elaina Liang, Angela Cheng of Pinetree secondary’s Odyssey Angels check out the ergonomic shopping cart they designed and had built for Joe Roberts’ walk across Canada called Push for Change.

4 wheels and 1 big push Pinetree kids make shopping cart – and, perhaps, a difference By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

rain power plus foot power may make change for homeless young people. A group of Pinetree secondary students who are members of the school’s creative problem-solving group Odyssey Angels designed a lightweight, ergonomic shopping cart, collaborating with Joe Roberts, a trainer and motivational speaker who will push the shopping cart across Canada next year to raise funds

for educational programs and agencies supporting at-risk youth. The Push for Change (www.thepushforchange. com) cart is a smartlooking upgrade of the average shopping cart, which has become synonymous with homelessness. The students say they were excited to work on the project with the Coquitlam businessman, who was homeless as a youth, because they want to help other young people who are struggling with issues that could lead them to the streets. “This is such a wonderful opportunity,” said Elaina Liang, a Grade 10 student on the Odyssey Angels team. “We’re helping youth like ourselves who are maybe not as fortunate.”

It was a challenging project, the students admit, and took a lot of brainstorming and multiple sketches. The end result was a prototype that was built with the know-how and support of local businesses. “It has been a great collaboration,” said Roberts, who will do a training run from Calgary to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside this summer in the lead-up to a cross-country odyssey beginning next May in Newfoundland. He said the students were given a problem to solve and they came through by designing an attractive yet functional shopping cart that even a 45-year-old, father of two with an average fitness level could push

THE TEAM

Odyssey Angels is made up of the following students: Grace Chiang Elaina Liang Angela Cheng Jeannie Wong Jim Chiang Sheila Wang Rachel Au Michelle Sung Chris Lee Maria Kim Josh Kim Marathon this past weekend as part of his training. The Odyssey Angels project was chosen from amongst hundreds of submissions worldwide and the students will be heading to Odyssey

of the Mind 2012 world finals at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa from May 23 to 27 to present it and receive an award. Grace Chiang agreed the project was challenging but said the effort will be worth it if more people come to understand homelessness and how to stop it. “We weren’t engineers. We didn’t got to school and we didn’t know how to make it work,” she said, but the group persevered for weeks. In the end, the students produced the design by Roberts’ deadline. The cart was then assembled by mounting an aluminum box made and donated by A&A Steel Fabricators in Port Moody on top of a frame

from a high-end Chariot baby stroller donated by the Calgary company. Signage promoting The Push for Change was created by Fastsigns in Coquitlam. Roberts said he was impressed at the work the students put in to the project and said it shows what young people can do if they believe in themselves. He hopes other young people will get involved in The Push for Change as that’s one of the main goals of the campaign. “It’s not just going to be another walk across Canada,” he said. “We want to empower young people to do things and we want to create an educational legacy. If we can get that, we’re there.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Uncommon looks at humans’ common things cooking has played a role in the evolution of the social species we are today. Or look at something more specific. The Rituals of Dinner: The Origins, Evolution, Eccentricities and Meaning of Table Manners is the title of a history by Margaret Visser that is just what the title says. Manners, guests, dishes, wines, conversation and all the little things that go along with dining are covered in this book. Continuing with the

idea of manners, a brand new book from National Geographic called An Uncommon History of Common Courtesy: How Manners Shaped the World will answer such questions as: Why do we put candles on birthday cakes? What is the origin of the tuxedo? When was the first “please” spoken? And many more. Thinking of the people in the home, browse through A Woman’s Place: Seventy Years in the Lives

of Canadian Women. This book, published by Chatelaine magazine, shows how women’s roles have changed in and outside the home over the last century. Finally, for the history of something we might never think about, read Potted History: The Story of Plants in the Homee by Catherine Horwood. Illustrated with old paintings, photos and sketches, this interesting book shows how potted plants

are as subject to fashion as the clothes we wear. From the first concept in 1608, the story of bringing plants indoors becomes a combination of social history, plant history and the history of interior design. For these and many other fascinating history stories, check out your local public library. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Barb Buxton works at Port Moody Public Library.

Theatrix takes on emotionally charged musical By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Most musicals are of the upbeat variety, choked full with feel-good dance numbers and whimsical banter. Next to Normall is not like most musicals. Bolstered by a thrilling, contemporary score, Next to Normall is an emotional powerhouse about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other, and deals with such hard and topical real-life modern problems as mental illness and mis-use of prescription drugs. The show runs at 7:30 p.m. next Wednesday through Saturday (May 16 to 19) at Evergreen Cultural Centre and is put on by the Coquitlambased Theatrix Youtheatre Society. “The show itself is based on someone who has not dealt with the grief of losing a loved one,” says Theatrix artistic director Deborah Solberg. “It deals with issues of being diagnosed, especially being misdiagnosed, and [the use of] pharmaceuticals.” Acclaimed by Rolling Stone magazine as a ground-breaking musical “that pushe[d] Broadway

in new directions,” Next to Normal leaves audiences to study and later discuss the intense drama and question of life after death the show exudes. “There’s definitely a lot of subject material to talk about, apart from the spiritual aspect of it all, as well,” Solberg says. The cast includes Elizabeth Cushnie as the lead, suburban mom Diana; Dmitri Antos as Dan; Sevan Kochikarian as Natalie; Frankie Cena as Gabe; Sheamus Collins as Henry; and Shayne Solberg as Dr. Fine/Madden. While she says the acting is first rate, Deborah Solberg adds “the music is stunning, absolutely stunning. It’s not to be missed.” A live ensemble under the direction of Kelvin Lui and Clare Lee comprises Douglas College music students Yu-Ri Lee (violin); Sayako Nakano (violin); Hooman Roshanravan (cello); Allison Lam (percussion); Clare Lee (piano); Eva Pekar (percussion/ synthesizer). • A preview-performance rate of $12 happens next Wednesday. Tickets for the Thursday to Saturday shows are $20 and can be bought by calling 604-9276555 or at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

t six feet tall, Kayla McFadden’s height alone makes her a good fit on the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s basketball team. Her versatility makes her a perfect one. An Archbishop Carney regional secondary student, McFadden has signed a letter of intent to join Heather Semeniuk’s squad as a freshman for the 2012-13 Canada West season. McFadden is expected use her lengthy frame to contribute to the team on the defensive end. With her size, and the Heat’s current potential guard-heavy squad, she can look to have an impact on the roster at various spots on the floor right away. “I hope I am able to bring defensive aggressiveness to the team, and my positive hardworking attitude,” said McFadden, who was both a Fraser Valley and B.C. AA prep provincial all-star with the Carney Stars last season. “I think MCFADDEN one of my biggest strengths is my ability to play multiple positions.” The Stars excelled as underdogs all season long, and finished sixth at the B.C. AA provincial championship. Playing on a tight-knit high school team was instrumental in her decision to ink with the Heat. “UBC Okanagan seems to be a perfect reflection of the team dynamics at Archbishop Carney,” McFadden said. “My high school team provided an amazing familial environment in which we trusted and really supported one another and it was very important to me that the university I went to also values this philosophy. “After the Heat ID camp in April, I knew that UBC Okanagan was the school for me. it just felt right. Everyone was so welcoming and I really like coach Sem’s style.” Semeniuk sums up McFadden as “an intriguing player” who possesses a variety of attributes that will help the Heat. “She adds some height to the roster, something that is lacking on the team currently,” Semeniuk said. “Yet she is more than just a big body. Kayla has a lot of length to her, is quite athletic and possesses a decent set of skills. “I hope that she will give the team a lot of line-up options with that versatility.” McFadden plans to start taking general studies courses initially at UBC Okanagan, and her plan is to eventually transfer into the nursing program. Focused on basketball since Grade 7 when she gave up dancing, McFadden has since built the skill set required to play in the competitive CIS Canada West Conference. Her basketball resume includes winning a silver medal at the BC Summer Games and playing club with the 3D Elite team last summer.

Coquitlam’s David Otterman of the UBC Thunderbirds men’s baseball team has been named to the All-NAIA West Team, it was announced Monday. The pitcher Otterman posted a 5-3 record and 3.00 earned run average in 12 games this season for the T-birds. After surrendering a home run in his first game, he didn’t allow another the rest of the campaign. Otterman gave up just 47 hits in 69 innings and opponents hit a paltry .193 against him, a category in which he led the entire NAIA West Conference. He is also a strong candidate to be chosen in the 2012 Major League Baseball firstyear player draft starting June 4.

three goals and two helpers for the Bandits, who take on the expansion Port Moody Thunder on Saturday in PoCo, 8 p.m. The Thunder sit 2-0 after back-to-back wins over the Nanaimo Timbermen, including a 12-2 triumph Monday in PoMo.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A hot start and cool demeanor gave Coquitlam’s Tom Bang his division’s title at the Lindsay Kenney Classic junior golf tournament last weekend at Swan-e-set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows. Bang used only 28 putts in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour event’s opening round Saturday to fire a 74, then followed it with a respectable 81 Sunday for a 155 total to win the 13-shooter Boys 17-19 crown by three strokes over Vancouver’s Jacob Vanderpas. “Think positive, never think negative,” was how the 17-year-old Bang described his general mindset. “I feel great and proud to win my division.” Another Coquitlam golfer, Ken Wei, fired 98-93-191 to place 12th in the 20-player category. In the Boys 14-16 group, Nick Krystal of Port Moody placed fourth after carding a 78-80-158 score to finish six shots behind the winner Logan Yanick of Courtenay. Jun Kang of Coquitlam was seventh with 84-81-165, while Coquitlam’s Jerry Bang and Shayne LaRochelle finished in a three-way tie for eighth with 84-85-169 and 83-86-169 counts respectively. Hoon Lee of Coquitlam was 15th with 95-95-190. In the Girls Open bracket, nine-year-old Euna Han of Coquitlam was seventh with 9998-197. Lily He, 12, of Pitt Meadows won with a sizzling 71-73-144 score.

EWART 2ND AT MCCLEERY

A strong second-round charge by Coquitlam’s A.J. Ewart wasn’t quite enough as Vancouver’s Patrick Tan hung tight to claim the Boys 14-and-under division at the Euro Junior Golf Cup/Lipton Brisk Canada West qualifier last weekend at Vancouver’s McCleery course. Tan captured his second straight Canadian Junior Golf Tour event with a 70-71-141 score, with Ewart finishing with 75-70-145. Langley’s James Kim was third at 77-72-149. “A.J. started off really [Sunday] with a birdie on the first hole and was three-under part after eight holes,” Tan said. “It was hard not to think that he could catch me. I felt the pressure but it feels good that I was able to hold him off.” In the Boys 15-19 division, another Coquitlam golfer, Steven Diack, also finished runner-up with a 70-77-147 count. Richmond’s Tony Mak won the category with 73-71-144.

Do hearing aids really work? Hearing aids are not corrective devices and cannot restore your hearing to 100%. They are really just “aids”. However, with a properly ﬁtted aid, most people will notice an improvement in overall speech understanding in everyday listening environments. Today’s hearing aids vary from basic to advanced digital technology. The more advanced the hearing aid, the more effective at controlling background noise.

There are even hearing aids that insert deeply into your ear canal so that they cannot be seen from the outside.

What if I leave my hearing loss untreated? Hearing loss is often described as an invisible handicap in which people delay seeking help. Left untreated, hearing loss can lead to feelings of loneliness, isolation

and depression. The negative effects of untreated hearing loss are far worse than the stigma of wearing a hearing aid.

Gum disease starts out painless but ultimately attacks over 87 percent of the population. Cavities can develop and worsen for a long time while undetected by a patient, and sometimes the only remedy is root canal therapy or extraction of the tooth. These procedures can often be avoided simply because dentists are the preventative doctors par excellence, ever alert for early signs of swollen or bleeding gums, tooth decay, and other problems.

Your regular checkup will help with this and will detect many other medical conditions because symptoms often appear in the mouth first.

Ponds and water features have become very popular in recent years but many consumers have been turned off by the poor advice of retailers selling inferior quality products at very low prices, requiring costly replacement and upgrades.

Get the Right Soil

You might not want to construct or maintain all aspects of your garden. Landscape centres can also provide referrals to quality gardeners and landscape contractors. They are dealing with these contractors on a daily basis and are able to match the contractor to your project.

We keep trying hard to earn your support by constantly upgrading our product lines and offering good solid advice to you, our customers. You have helped us grow into a strong independent retailer. Thank you!!!

Research all Options

Landscape supply stores carry everything you will need except plant material, pesticides and fertilizer. They are specialists in all the “hard” elements of your landscape. From paving stones to retaining walls to water features right down to that ﬁnal bird bath or garden ornament, they carry a full selection of everything you will need.

Try and design your garden in a way that doesn’t make it look too busy. Simplicity can make it look more harmonious. If you choose ornaments, like a selfcontained fountain, place it where it will make a “statement”.

Before you make an investment, as in adding a pond or waterfall to your garden, make sure you get as much information as possible before starting.

Not all soils are created equal. Get the right one, be it for top dressing your lawn, new planting beds or your veggie garden. Real soil should be rich in organics.

BUSINESS FORUM 2012

Is it getting harder and harder to hear what people are saying? At ﬁrst, you realize that you are struggling to hear a conversation amidst noise and babble. Before long, your family and friends have to speak loudly in order for you to hear them. Locked in increasing silence, older people with impaired hearing often withdraw and feel isolated. There is no reason to live like that, says Robert Lloyd, owner and manager of Sears Hearing (Fuller and Lloyd,) a company he runs with his brother, Stuart Lloyd. Today’s advances in technology offers alternatives that didn’t exist

Do you experience ringing or noises in your ears? Do you hear better with one ear than the other?

Robert Lloyd with Sara Lloyd and Heather Meech, Sears Hearing Coquitlam Centre

“We help our clients get used to the new sounds. “Our ﬁrst priority is to make sure each client is at ease wearing the aids and then we teach them how to use them properly.” His father, David Lloyd, built the business based on integrity, great service, fair prices and quality products. In 1988, David brought his son Robert Lloyd into the company. This past year, Sara Lloyd has joined the team. She is working part time and is starting to learn the family business.

“The best compliment is when a customer breaks into a big smile because they can hear better,” says Lloyd. Hearing aids are important because they will give you the chance to hear again, but it is important that you get the hearing aid that is right for you from a company that you can trust. Many clients have entrusted Sears Hearing with their hearing devices. Sears Hearing offers exceptional service and quality hearing aids with a 60-day trial period. All three locations are open six days a week.
