At the finish line on Friday’s Thermal Drive climb, surrounded by hundreds of cheering Tri-City residents, the Man in Motion, Rick Hansen watched as 18-year-old Tyrone Henry, a paraplegic and endurance athlete from Ottawa, broke through the finish line at Seymour Drive. Hansen lauded Henry, saying he is an example of someone who instead of giving up, chose to get involved.
Hill of a day for Hansen Man in Motion again made climb, backed by the ‘Many in Motion’ By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Thermal Drive did not vanquish Rick Hansen nor any of his 25th anniversary relay team, who last Friday made their way up the winding hill like it was a Sunday stroll to a prairie church. But instead of sing-
ing hymns at the conclusion of the now almost mythic trek from Port Moody to Coquitlam, the gracious Hansen praised his “difference makers,” people who joined him in the mission to create a “healthy and inclusive world.” The jour ney from Cape Spear to Vancouver
over 12,000 km made by 7,000 medal bearers is one of determination and accomplishment, said Hansen, and a tribute to the original Man in Motion tour to raise awareness of spinal cord research a quarter century ago. see ‘IT’S IT S NOT JUST JUST’,, page A5

Many in Motion for the Man in Motion They came out by the hundreds last Thursday and Friday in the Tri-Cities. Some cheered on Rick Hansen relay medal bearers; others cheered on the Man in Motion himself. All took part in the commemoration of an historic journey that still resonates to this day, with many a Tri-City voice screaming, “Go, Rick, go!” The relay ended Tuesday in Vancouver.

‘We all did it together’ continued from front page
I strode amid hundreds upon hundreds of other Rick Hansen relay supporters, keeping pace as best I could with the Man in Motion, who prefers to call this, the 25th anniversary of his initial astounding cross-Canada journey of 1987, Many in Motion. As one older gentleman remarked to another in the early stages of the journey, “Rick Hansen’s going up Thermal... my car doesn’t even make it up Thermal.� There were times when the hill’s grade lessened a tad and a still-pressing Rick would smile at his supporters, or even chat briefly with a worshipping onlooker as he wheeled past. There were other moments when the crowd — anxious school kids, camera-toting citizens

Rick Hansen with one of hundreds of medal bearers. and pushy media — consumed me and I lost track of Rick, only to discover shortly after I was looking in the wrong direction. Rick was now ahead d of me. Ryan Sclater, the sixfoot-seven basketball star from Terry Fox secondary school, was the chosen medal bearer who met Hansen at the intersection of Mohawk and Thermal for a quick stop to say hello and photo shoot before the uphill grind continued. “It’s awesome,� Sclater
told The Tri-City News just prior to greeting Hansen. “It’s such a cool feeling to be part of something that’s so much bigger than you. Everyone’s happy for me but it’s not about me, it’s about what Rick has done and all of us coming together.� Sclater added he only recently discovered that Hansen and Terry Fox — the one-legged Marathon of Hope hero who’s the namesake of the PoCo high school he attends — became good friends when the two young men were struggling with the lack of funding available to aid those with similar disabilities. “I found it really cool to know they were friends and hung out together,� Sclater, 17, said. “They both went on to do so much amazing things... Wow.� Wow, indeed. As I continued the
climb, my thighs began to burn, my calves tightened and, at one point, I lost my runner when an eager youngster accidentally stepped on my heel. It was okay. I needed the break I got when I stopped to tie my shoe. And finally, roughly 30 minutes from the start, it was over. Then the Man in Motion himself, looking as fresh and finetuned as ever, wheeled on to a podium to ecstatic applause and shouts of “Way to go, Rick!� and, eventually, was handed the mic. “This is exactly the same as it was 25 years ago... beautiful weather, amazing people,� Rick said. “Except it’s not one Man in Motion, it’s Many in Motion. We all did it together. “Let’s keep going, thank you.� Sure, we’ll do it again, Rick, just say when. lpruner@tricitynews.com

They walked, ran & rolled From city hall to city hall, then up Thermal Drive By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Rick Hansen Relay started at 8:20 a.m. last Friday in Coquitlam with Lynda Baker, the city’s community events co-ordinator, and ended at the base of Thermal Drive in Port Moody with Derrick Hill, a Port Coquitlam resident who was part of the original Man in Motion global tour. In between, dozens of other medal bearers — of all ages, abilities and ethnic backgrounds — walked, ran, pushed strollers and danced their way down their allocated stretch of road, many of them high-fiving people on the sidewalks, posing for photos and waving to passing drivers. The inspirational morning journey that wound its way from Coquitlam city hall to Port Moody city hall and Rocky Point Park t o M c D o n a l d ’s — a major sponsor of the national relay — was filled with hugs, handshakes and smiles from the medal bearers and their supporters as well
as from Rick Hansen Foundation staff, who were travelling on board or beside the rockin’ relay motor home. Among the bearers of note were BC Liberal MLA Colin Hansen (Vancouver-Quilchena), who received his medal on Glen Drive in front of Gleneagle secondary; Brynn Bishop, a 13-yearold Moody middle student who was chosen by the city of Port Moody to run the medal to city hall; Heather Scott, Share’s development director; and Jeffrey Fregin, 13, a disabled Coquitlam boy who grinned from ear to ear as he wheeled down St. Johns with his mother, Carole. The medal bearers were accompanied on the road by foundation escort Andrew Mack and Ramesh Ferris, 32, a polio survivor from Whitehorse who had a horizontal wheelchair. Earlier, about 200 people gathered at Port Moody city hall for a 20-minute stop, where Mayor Mike Clay paid tribute to Hansen and the foundation team, which started its cross-country venture last August in Newfoundland to honour the Man in Motion’s 25th anniversary.

‘It’s not just you doing it’ IN QUOTES
continued from front page “From one in motion to many in motion, all of us together doing our part to make a difference and to encourage each other,” Hansen told the assembled crowd after the gruelling half-hour climb on one of the last legs of the 25th Anniversary Rick Hansen Relay. Along the route, as many as 1,600 School District 43 students walked alongside Hansen, cheering him on with shouts of “Go, Rick!” as he wheeled his way up the steep incline to the finish at Seymour Drive. There were also five medal bearers who were too young to have been around for the original Man in Motion Tour. As he pushed his way up the hill, the crowd surged around him and a ring of volunteers kept the kids at bay. But still, they could get as close to their hero as they liked, and most carried phones or cameras and snapped pictures of Hansen as he pushed his way up the road. At Seymour Drive, a large yellow ribbon had been strung across the road but instead of Hansen pushing his way the final few feet to break the tape, Tyrone Henry, an 18-year-old paraplegic from Ottawa took the lead. Later, Hansen said Henry, an endurance athlete, is an example of someone who instead of “giving up,” chose to get involved, and it was right and fitting that the young man should be the first to finish the climb. Although Hansen, 54, was clearly the man of the moment Friday morning, he chose to single out the youth of the Tri-Cities as his own inspiration. In a speech from a temporary stage put up by his team, he told his cheering mostly middle-school-aged fans: “I’m proud of you — you

“If I’m around in 25, I’ll be here I may not be doing it with my arms but I’ll find a way to get up this hill.” Rick Hansen make me feel like an amazing Canadian because I know our country is in great hands,” Hansen said. Several dignitaries took to the stage to praise the Rick Hansen relay team for once again inspiring Canadians to never give up hope that a cure for paralysis from spinal cord injuries can be found. But it was the students who created the lively atmosphere that seemed to give Hansen energy after the climb. Hundreds of them turned up in school t-shirts, carrying signs that read: “We’re with you, Rick.” “It’s an interesting experience,” said Taylor Mitchell, 15, who was waiting with her sister, Madelyn, 3, for Rick on the steps of their grandmother’s home. “When I was in Grade 5, we got to walk up the hill with him,” she said, recalling Hansen’s last visit five years ago. A group of students from Port Coquitlam’s Kwayhquitlum middle
school provided a noisy chorus to support the relay team. Waving their posters, the student urged on the medal bearers. Emma MacDonald, a Grade 6 student, said Hansen is an “inspiration” to her. “He’s raised $26 million on his Man in Motion tour and he went up Thermal Drive,” MacDonald said. For Hansen, the return visit to Thermal was a teachable moment for students never to give up hope and to keep rolling along. He told a group of reporters that he had always wanted to be a teacher and he feels like an educator. “I’m able to use these experiences and be able to encourage others. We all have challenges, we all want to keep hope, and dream, and we all have differences in our own way.” It’s important to him that research continue finding ways to reduce the harm caused by spinal chord injuries and he remains hopeful a cure
will be found in the next 25 years. In the meantime, Hansen said he’s pleased that “more and more people are having more recovery after an injury because of advanced treatment and care.” Although he appeared to be hail and hearty following his climb — his tanned face a sign of hours spent in the sun during this long, national journey — Hansen said Thermal Drive has always been a challenge and he had to steel himself for the experience that morning. Sporting a wide grin like a champion athlete after a tough race, Hansen described his recipe for success. “First, I wake up after a good sleep. Secondly, eat well. Thirdly, repeat that mantra — that positive mantra — that this is going to be a huge challenge and get ready and make sure that it’s one stroke at a time. And lastly, it’s open your heart because it’s not just you doing it, we’re all doing it together, and this incredible enthusiasm is going to help propel me up the hill.” Will he back? Hansen said yes, although, in a nod to his age, he didn’t specify exactly how he’d do the arduous climb again. “If I’m around in 25, I’ll be here,” he said. “I may not be doing it with my arms but I’ll find a way to get up this hill.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam RCMP investigators have found no evidence that a suspicious substance was responsible for making a bus driver ill, an incident that led to the closure of the Coquitlam Station transit exchange Friday afternoon. Police boarded the bus shortly after the incident and tested for hazardous materials. When none were found, the cordon came down and bus service was returned to normal. Reports that a suspicious substance had made a bus driver and several passengers ill prompted TransLink to shut down the bus loop
shortly after noon on Friday. Bus passengers were still able to access their buses at temporary stops that were put up around the loop and West Coast Express riders were not affected by the incident, according to TransLink spokesperson Drew Snider. Snider said two people got off the bus at the Coquitlam loop and told the 97B line driver they felt ill. He continued his way to Lougheed station and upon his arrival back in Coquitlam, began to feel sick, too, and collapsed. He wasn’t taken to hospital, however, and Snider said he was up and walking around later in the day. A hazardous materi-

By Gary McKenna A man with bipolar disorder who carjacked a vehicle with an actress inside and crashed into a building in downtown Vancouver has gone missing from Colony Farm. David Fomradas is wanted on a Canadawide warrant for being unlawfully at large after the 34-year-old was reported to be on an unauthorized absence from the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital. “He was on a pass,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “It was simply a case that he didn’t return.” C o q u i t l a m RC M P w a r n e d t h e p u bl i c that anyone who sees Fomradas should not approach him and immediately notify police. He is described as a Caucasian man with fair complexion who is 5’11” tall and weighs 161 lb.; he has a medium build, brown hair with stubble on his face and blue eyes. Actress Carly Pope and her brother Kris were sitting in their vehicle in 2009 when Fomradas ran towards the car and jumped on the hood. When Kris got out of the car, Fomradas jumped into the driver’s seat, put the vehicle in reverse and slammed into the CBC building in downtown Vancouver. T h e B . C . Rev i ew Board found him not criminally responsible for a host of charges related to the incident, including car theft, two counts of aggravated a s s a u l t , d a n g e ro u s driving, assault with a weapon and mischief. In a 2010 decision, the board said Fomradas posed a risk to the public but was mentally stable as long as he adhered to his medication regime. At the time of the incident, Pope was starring in a show called Outlaw and has acted in other TV shows, including 24 and Californication.

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
T
he world’s thirst for oil is poised to turn the current trickle of crude through Vancouver’s harbour into a gusher. Kinder Morgan Canada announced this month that it will seek to twin its Trans Mountain Pipeline between northern Alberta and Burnaby, increasing its current 300,000-barrel-per-day capacity to as much as 850,000. That means the number of tankers filling up in Burnaby could hit 360 in 2016 — five times more than the record 69 crude tankers in 2010. Good for the economy, yes. But the question on many people’s lips involves a frightening scenario: What if there is a spill in Burrard Inlet or further out in B.C.’s pristine coastal waters. Certainly, many safeguards are already in place. Oil tankers must be double-hulled and are required to sail with two highly trained pilots. In addition, all oil tanker vessels that sail into Canadian waters must have an arrangement with a spill response organization — on the west coast, that’s the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC). If there is a spill and the ship’s owner walks away, the vessel would be seized and WCMRC would tap in to the insurance tanker companies are required to purchase. If that insurance runs out, a similar international fund is used for clean-up. But there’s a hole in the prevention and remedy protocols big enough to sail a sizeable ship through. What about wildlife? According to Coleen Doucette, vice-president of the Oiled Wildlife Society of BC, there are no laws compelling companies to clean up birds and animals hurt by a spill. Oil spill response usually involves containing spills with booms and collecting the oil using skimmers. If the responsible party requests a wildlife rescue response, WCMRC may manage it or hire a professional organization to perform it. The problem is, not all responsible parties choose to respond to oiled wildlife. This loophole is troubling in light of recent news that marine mammals are making a comeback after decades of decline. If more oil tankers are in our future, then tougher rules regarding the protection of wildlife are critical. – The Surrey Leader (Black Press)
Premier can be popular or right on pesticides BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA remier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office. A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003. So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the BC Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulation-repealing decade of Gordon Campbell. But first, an all-party committee would
P
2012 CCNA
hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. Bennett presented the committee’s report last week and one could see what was coming. Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate. He was recently appointed by Clark to co-chair the BC Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the BC Conservative threat. Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on “chemophobia” that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy. That statement is both politically dangerous and absolutely correct. I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when environmentalists fought the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees. The evidence boils down to this: These complex organic compounds break down in

a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat. Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe. Unfortunately, most people know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this. It’s part of the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C. for decades. We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vaccines. We have people panicked about imaginary health effects of smart meters, egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting. The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against pesticides is telling. As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.” Few have the courage to stand up to that. The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada repre-
sentative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that cosmetic use accounts for only 5% of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve but 85% of the people who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here: She can do the popular thing or the right thing.

I share columnist Elaine Golds’ concerns t h at t h e R ive r v i ew Hospital lands’ future is in jeopardy for our most vulnerable members of society, those with mental health issues and addictions it was built to serve, along with its priceless therapeutic arboretum and retention of architecturally significant buildings like Crease Clinic.
I fully support retaining the Riverview Hospital lands as an ideal location for proposed major homeless institutions, where prog rams/treatment for those presenting complex medical health issues would be available while meeting immediate needs for shelter, food and safety, fulfilling the province’s mandate to provide professional support, care and shelter for these hard-to-house people in
Riverview’s lovely, natural setting, set aside many years ago by our forebears for this very purpose. Cottages at Riverview would be ideal. Deinstitutionalizing people has proven more effective than stigmatizing people who need our support by grouping large numbers of them together in one building, which is going backwards. Judy Donaghey, Port Coquitlam

Two wheels to work and health Aim of Bike to Work Week is cycling awareness By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
F
or the hundreds of dedicated TriCity commuters already cycling to their jobs each day, Bike to Work Week will do little to change their routes or routines. But according to Simon Watkins, cochair of the local HUB committee (for merly the Vancouver Area for Cycling Coalition), the annual event is an opportunity to encourage more people to get on a bike and pedal to work. “This is a way for everyone to just show the flag,” he said. “We want to connect with people that are already biking to work and encourage new people to come out and do it.” Several commuter stations will be set up in the Tri-Cities at various locations throughout the week, offering refreshments and bike maintenance tips for cyclists making their way to and from work. They also give cyclists an opportunity to meet up with other riding enthusiasts, according to Watkins. “You feel like you are part of a community,” he said. “Most people that are coming by have their heads down. The challenge is to get them to stop and have a cup of coffee and see what [Bike to Work Week] is all about.” The benefits of cycling are well known, he said. It saves money on gas, is better for the environment and offers people an opportunity to work daily exercise into their busy schedules. Watkins added that

Biking for children If Bike To Work Week is designed to encourage adults to take up cycling, then the Great Pedalheads Treasure Hunt is for kids on two wheels. The event will take place June 2 at Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; there will be prizes, activities and lots of bike riding for children. “It will be a great chance for kids to have some fun on their bikes as well as a way to raise funds for our brand new charity... The Pedalheads Charity Program,” said Nick Pavlakis, the community and media liaison for Pedalheads. To participate in the event, families are asked to make a donation of their choosing, with all proceeds going to local neighbourhood houses and resource centres. Those who take part in the treasure hunt are also eligible to enter into a draw, with prizes courtesy of Norco and Rack Attack Vancouver. • More information: atlantisprograms.com. pedalling to work even a few times a week is enough see health benefits and savings at the gas pump. “I think the health benefits are the main reason I do it,” he said. “It’s nice to have that one day a week when
you don’t have to drive your car.” This is the seventh year HUB has held Bike to Work Week and commuter stations are expected to be set up all over the Lower Mainland. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

A GOOD READ Katie Oke
D
o you love dogs? Are you thinking of getting a one? Do you already have one? Whether you want to look at pictures, watch DVDs or learn more about pooches, the library has what you’re looking for. Dog Fancy is a monthly magazine that always has plenty of beautiful pictures. Each issue profiles three breeds of dog, offers tips on training certain skills, gives advice on grooming and health, and is rounded out by interesting articles. James Herriot practised veterinary medicine in the 1930s in Yorkshire, England. James Herriot’s Favorite Dog Storiess contains short stories of the famous vet’s experiences with dogs and their owners. Heartwarming, wonderful and at times humourous, these stories are a joy to read. His accuracy and wit writing about people’s relationships with their dogs is priceless. For help with selecting your future best friend, you will find good information on the library shelves. The Dog Selector: How to Choose
the Right Dog for You by David Alderton gives practical advice and facts about matching your lifestyle with the right dog. Maintenance ease, activity level, playfulness, size, intelligence and other requirements and characteristics of different breeds are described in The Dog Selector. Browsing the non-fiction section on puppies and dogs will reveal a wide range of books about care and training. The Association of Pet Dog Trainers’ Top Tips from Top Trainers: 1,001 Practical Tips and Techniques for Successful Dog Care and Training is an A-to-Z compendium of advice from experts. Oh My Dog: How to Choose, Train, Groom, Nurture, Feed and Care for Your New Best Friend by Beth Ostrosky Stern shares the author’s advice and tips and advice from
experts. If you are looking for DVDs, try Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan. Seasons of this television show reveal some of the challenges that people have with their dogs and show how to correct them. Enjoy this popular National Geographic Channel show and pick up some tips and techniques at the same time. Millan has been called a Dr. Phil for dogs, and you might find yourself understanding your canine friend better after watching. So for anything related to dogs, come in and see what your library has to offer. The librarian will be glad to help you find the right resource for your interest. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Katie Oke is a reference librarian at Coquitlam Public Library.

Jets versus Sharks at Carney
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
“I
t’s Romeo and Juliet. What’s better than that?” responds Charles Harris, drama teacher at Port Coquitlam’s Archbishop Carney regional high school, when asked why he picked West Side Story for this year’s musical that starts tonight (Wednesday). “I did it when I was younger. My wife was in it in high school. I just think it’s this wonderful show that brings in so many elements: love, anger, loyalties — you name it.” Harris and the cast of 45 Grade 8 to 12 students started rehearsals last December on the production, an extracurricular that involved practices three times a week after school. Harris said he was lucky to have a number of triple threats to chose from for his leads, many of them students of Coquitlam’s Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts. Jenna Testani, 16, Grade 11, was selected as Maria — the role portrayed by Natalie Wood in the 1961 Oscar-winning movie — for her voice, Harris said, while Justin Theiss, 18, Grade 12, auditioned for and won the part of Tony, a former member of the Jets gang who falls in love with Maria, the sister of Shark leader Bernardo.
Theiss, who has been with the Coastal Sound Youth Choir for three years, said he looks forward to his first lead role though juggling his school/social life schedule in his final year has been a challenge. “It’s been hard to balance,” he admitted, “but you have to know that it doesn’t last. It’s a lot of work for a short time.” The same crunch applied to Lorenzo Bisceglia, 17, Grade 12, who plans to pursue a science degree after graduation. Still, despite the extra pressures, he has managed to maintain an honour roll status and be the student council’s deputy prime minister; for the past five years at Archbishop, he has been in every major theatrical production including in last year’s Rumors, portraying Lenny Ganz. “I just don’t plan a couple of days in advance — it’s weeks,” he said. Playing Bernardo “I guess is relatively easy for me. He wears his emotions on his sleeve a lot and I do that, too. I’ve been watching the movie and trying to get in Bernardo’s mind to prepare the character.” Set in New York City in the mid-1950s, West Side Story is a popular American musical inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that looks at the teenage gang rivalry of the Jets and the Sharks. The white blue-collar Jets — led by the quick-
tempered leader Riff — taunt the Puerto Rican Sharks. Leonard Bernstein’s score for the musical include such famous songs as Maria, America and Somewhere. And for the Archbishop show, Harris recruited the 25-piece Maple Ridge Community Band and freelance choreographers Maureen Boudier and Alana Johnstone to help out. Harris said he likes the idea of students working alongside professionals. “They’re with very talented adults and it gives them something to aspire to,” Harris said of his students, adding, “I think we have a reputation for excellence and this production will take it another level. “I believe this is our best one yet,” Harris said. Parents, teachers and school staff also are involved in making the show a success, organizing advertising, props, front of house, ushering, makeup and hair, among other things. • Tickets at $15 for Archbishop Carney regional high school’s West Side Story, which runs May 23 to 26, are available by calling 604-942-7465 or emailing tickets@acrss.org. The show starts at 7 p.m. at Terry Fox secondary (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam). jwarren@tricitynews.com

Quiring goes ‘Over the Moon’ for show When Reg Quiring and Rosemary O’Connor told Dale Barltrop, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra concertmaster, their upcoming show would be based on the moon, “he immediately said, ‘Oh, something French!’” O’Connor recalled. And, so, for their chamber recital at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre on Friday, titled Over the Moon, the classical musicians have programmed two French composers: Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. “The moon has so many different associations for so many people such as mystery or romance and, thus, the French connection,” O’Connor said. O’Connor, a pianist, and Quiring, a VSO violist, will kick off the concert with three short lieder, with Barltrop reading the poetry. It starts with Brahms’ May Nightt before continuing with a Debussy piece based on a poem called Clair du Lunee by Paul Verlaine and ending with a Schumann number, titled Mondnachtt that’s matched with a poetry by Eichendorff. The concert then switches gears to include Barltrop on violin, VSO violinist Jason Ho, Quiring and VSO cellist Olivia Blander for a string quartet called Half Wolf Dances Mad

Spleen injury curbs BMXer
COLLEEN FLANAGAN/BLACK PRESS
Canadian BMX racer Tory Nyhaug of Coquitlam has been forced to withdraw from the upcomi n g U C I Wo rl d Championships in Great Britain after he ruptured his spleen in a crash during a Supercross race two weeks ago in Papendal, Netherlands. Nyhaug was hospitalized as a result of the injury and remains there for continued medical care and observation. “Tory is a very resilient and deter mined individual,” said Jacques Landry, High Performance director with the Canadian Cycling Association. “He is an athlete that is targeted for [the] 2016 [Olympics] but if there is a chance he can be ready for August 2012 [in London] there is no doubt in my mind... [he] will pull out all the stops to make the summer happen.”
The Adanacs’ Steve McKinlay tries to shake free from the Maple Ridge Burrards’ Colton Porter during their Western Lacrosse Association season opener Sunday in Maple Ridge.
A’s bump off Burrards in WLA debut By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
One down, 17 to go. The Coquitlam Adanacs’ self-projected turnaround season started in the right direction Sunday, when they shaved the Burrards 7-5 in Maple Ridge to kick off the new Western Lacrosse Association campaign. A’s head coach Bob Salt was pleased just to get the win, especially given Coquitlam finished last among the seven WLA teams last regular season with a bleak 7-11 mark.
“At least we got one [win], no matter what happens the rest of the year,” Salt joked. With the game knotted 2-2, the A’s struck for back-to-back shorthanded goals by rookie Jaxson Lee and veteran Steve McKinlay that proved the difference in the outcome. The Burrards battled back to tie the contest 4-4 before the A’s erupted for three straight markers, including Dane Dobbie’s second of the game, to take command. “It was tight and I kind of expected that,” Salt said. “We were both missing some guys and, like us, they play good defence, too.”
The game also featured 61 penalty minutes, although Salt thought that was more due to undisciplined actions rather than over-aggression. “I don’t know that it was that chippy,” he said. “[The refs] were calling some stuff pretty tight, especially away from the ball. I think we just have to adjust to what they’re calling.” Trevor Evans, Daryl Veltman and Ryan Johnson, another newcomer, scored the other Coquitlam goals, with Veltman also contributing three assists.

figured in the Burrards’ scoring, including PoCo Saints’ grads Tyler Miotto, Derek Lowe and Randy Daly, along with ex-Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs’ player Brandon Bertoia. Blake Mattinson netted Ridge’s other tally. Salt believes the A’s will face a much stiffer test when they host the New Westminster Salmonbellies in their home opener Saturday at Poirier Sports Complex, 7 p.m. “They’re a good offensive team and we’ll have to deal with that,” he said. “It will be a tougher game but we have one game under our belt and we’ll be ready for the challenge.”

Coquitlam Reds’ pitcher Mitchell Anderson prepares to let fly during a B.C. Premier Baseball League contest versus the Okanagan Athletics on Sunday at Mundy Park.
Huge wins for juniors Coquitlam J r. Adanacs bolted to a 5-0 first-period lead and sailed to a 14-3 victory Sunday over the Burnaby Jr. Lakers in a B.C. Junior ‘A’ lacrosse league contest at Bill Copeland Arena. The win boosted the first-place Jr. A’s to 6-0 on the season, while the once-mighty Jr. Lakers dipped to 1-5. Vincent Ricci rallied the Jr. A’s with three goals and five assists, while Matt Symes also potted a hat trick. Michael Messenger, Matthew Dinsdale and Cole Shafer all tallied twice for the victors, while Reid Reinholdt also scored. At PoCo Rec Centre on Sunday, the host Saints improved to 3-3 on the campaign after doubling the Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen 14-7. The Saints broke open a 4-3 second-period lead by out-scoring 0-7 Nanaimo 10-4 the rest of the way. Richard Lachlan and Nash Harrison pumped in three goals each for the Saints, with Garrett Chan, Cody Craven and Matt Delmonico netting a pair apiece. Connor Goodwin and Mitch Cavalarin also scored for PoCo.

A roof over your head
Roofing materials aren’t just limited to cedar shakes and asphalt anymore, says Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers.
By Maggie Calloway We pretty much all grew up with the knowledge we could have any style of roof we want as long as it was cedar shakes or asphalt, but that is no longer the case. There are a number of great alternatives available now to suit not just the style and location of the home but also the unique requirements of

We may be gnashing our teeth about the slow start to the good weather this year but the cycle of rain then sun over and over again is perfect for making that green stuff grow, and I don’t mean your bank account! As with every other job, the right tools make light work. The men at Foreshore Equipment and Supply had some insight about what’s going on in the world of lawnmowers, what’s new and better and how we should take care of our current equipment, new and old. Al Chrzanecki of Foreshore has some tips for a homeowner in the market for a new mower. “Buy a mower to fit your personal circumstances; if you are on a regular-size flat city lot you don’t need a rider mower, you really only need a push mower,” says Chrzanecki “Push mowers are somewhat different than we remember from our father and grandfather’s day. Some of them will have bushings in the wheels so you will get longevity and it will push easier because they are a little smaller at 20 inches, which is perfect for the small lot.” Chrzanecki says gas mowers have also changed over the years. “The manufacturers have changed the design of the

A standing Ovation for GVHBA members The best of the best was honoured in a gala ceremony in Vancouver. By Kerry Vital The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association has honoured the best of the best in the home-building industry with their third annual Ovation Awards. “Residential construction is a major contributer to Metro Vancouver’s economy and we are delighted to acknowledge the industry’s brightest stars,” says GVHBA President and CEO

There were several familiar faces among the big winners, including ParkLane Homes, who came out with eight awards including the Grand Ovation Awards for Single-Family Builder of the Year and Multi-Family Builder of the Year. “We are honoured to be the winner of these awards,” says Yosh Kasahara, ParkLane’s General Manager of Sales and Marketing. “We recognize the high calibre of builders and projects in these categories, and to be named (Single-Family) and Multi-Family Builder of the Year is a testament to our dedicated team of employees, stakeholders and suppliers.” ParkLane also won awards for Best Single-

Renovating on a budget With a modest budget and a lot of determination, Laura Lee and Jacqueline turned their drafty little pre-war bungalow into a warm and cosy retreat.

Meet Michele. She’s a FortisBC customer who believes in conservation and reducing greenhouse gases. She drives a fuel-efficient car, grows her own vegetables, and turns down the heat whenever she can. And now, she’s a FortisBC renewable natural gas customer.
“It’s an easy thing I can do to be a little bit more green. I’m helping to reduce greenhouse gases, and it’s terrific to get a reward for it too.� Michele, Mission, renewable natural gas customer
Renewable natural gas is natural gas‌but better Instead of coming from the ground, methane gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Before it escapes into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured and cleaned up. Then, FortisBC adds it into their pipelines, giving British Columbians renewable energy.
How it works
Carbon neutral
For about $5 a month, you can designate 10 per cent of your natural gas usage as renewable. FortisBC will then inject an equivalent amount of renewable natural gas into their system.
FortisBC’s renewable natural gas has been designated as carbon neutral in B.C. by Offsetters (Canada’s leading provider of carbon management solutions). Customers who sign up receive a 10 per cent credit on the B.C. carbon tax.

Many changes in rooďŹ ng “ from page.1 each individual roof. Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers Ltd. is a second generation roofer; you might say it’s in his blood. The company, started by his dad in 1978 and taken over by McDowell four years ago, has grown from a small four-person business to twelve highly trained professionals. “There have been lots of changes over the years; for instance on a low-slope roof we used to build it up with felt, tar and a gravel finish. Today we can provide a modern high-performance alternative,â€? McDowell says. “We are very careful about using new products, some of which haven’t been around very long. Our company will only use proven materials and technology and which has a good warranty behind them. Some of the new materials have been around for ten years or less so we don’t know how they will perform over the expected life of the roof. Another thing to understand is some of the new materials don’t have CSA approval from the Canadian government.â€? He cites the example of a wood fibre product that definitely didn’t work. “In the 1990s there was a new roofing product
PRODUCTS â?ąâ?ą QUALIFIED TRADES â?ąâ?ą EXPERT ADVICE â?ąâ?ą
made of wood fibre in cement; it failed miserably. As we know cement is porous, as is wood fibre. This product may have been fine in Arizona but not in our climate and a lot of home owners suffered with roofs that caved in from the weight.� Metal roofs are growing in popularity. There are different types: metal shingles, metal cladding and barn profile. 21st Century uses steel metal cladding because McDowell feels the hidden system makes it much more water-tight. For most of us he says, a new roof is not a rewarding purchase that you can look at like a new television or sofa; it’s utilitarian. But not much else matters if on a dark and stormy night you hear the sound of water dripping onto your dining room table. Do your due diligence, check references, check to see if there is a string of complaints filed against the company and make sure you get the proper warranties. It also pays to check that the company is a member of an association like the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association which requires members to carry a minimum of $5 million in liability insurance, and is current with WorkSafe BC. Also, check to see if the company you hire subcontracts out. If they do you just don’t know who you are getting.
Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers urges homeowners to do their due diligence before choosing a contractor, since there’s nothing more heartstopping than hearing water dripping onto your table during a rain storm.

Tending to the neglected areas of the home By Maggie Calloway After what seems like a long fall and winter with its wood fires, mud and dust, the pull to shrug off the heavy burden of cold weather by throwing open doors and windows is irresistible. The problem is the winter takes a toll on your home, both inside and out. It may be old-fashioned to schedule a spring cleaning but it can be quite cathartic to scrub down windows, wash curtains and hang them back up fresh and clean, and generally give the whole house a deep clean. Like anything else worth doing, there is a method to doing a thorough job cleaning a house so it was time to turn to the experts, Molly Maid. The good folks at Molly Maid have refined cleaning to a fine art and that is certainly true of Vancouver’s Michele Yonge. “There are a couple of things we advise people do before they deep clean; one is getting into closets and packing away winter stuff and hanging spring and summer clothes ... not forgetting to wipe down shelves as you go,” Yonge says. “Next, cleaning windows and washing or drycleaning drapes and curtains makes a huge difference. We recommend people wash the outside (of the) windows first because if you wash the inside first you don’t get the same bang! Don’t forget to clean the curtain tracks and window frames as you go. Use the tools that help get the job done; a dry, clean paint brush for instance is terrific for getting dust out of corners. One of the handiest things to use is microfibre cloths, (which are) great to clean wooden blinds ... plus can be thrown in the washer. Feeling the sun
shining through clean windows gives you great incentive to keep going.” A big thing is to declutter the whole house. Look at everything on counters, dressers and any surface where things tend to land. Sometimes we are so used to something cluttering the house we cease to see it. If you are not using or wearing something, get rid of it. You deserve to live in a space where you can breathe, with sun pouring through windows and clean surfaces. “We recommend people do three or four deep cleanings a year depending on your home and family,” Yonge says. “Laundry rooms are another place to get organized this time of year. Instead of soiled laundry piled together, get (a basket) for whites (and) one for darks ... it makes it so much easier. Once the clothes are washed placing them in a designated colourcoded basket for each family member keeps the room organized. Master bedrooms are great to dig into this time of year because they are often the place where things are dropped (and are) probably the most neglected room in the house. A final hint would be to put together a cleaning caddy with all the tools you need at hand; it really helps motivation when you don’t have to go digging around under the sink.”
The folks at Molly Maid have some tips for doing a thorough spring cleaning, including drycleaning the drapes, de-cluttering every flat surface and tidying up the kitchen. Submitted photos

Fencing g has come a long way from plain chain-link By Maggie Calloway Is there any other single product that does as many jobs as fencing? It protects your children from the traffic and drowning in the swimming pool, protects your veggie garden from marauding animals (dream on!) and separates your property from your neighbours, among many other things. Not only are there dozens of reasons for installing a fence, there are also dozens of types and styles to choose from. We all drool over photos of the thriving vegetable and flower garden surrounded by a whimsical fence and gate complete with roses, but this is not what we are about today. We want to see what’s available in robust but stylish metal fencing that will do the job, is very low maintenance, and will enhance the curb appeal of your home. Not a lot to ask is it? Not according to Ken Scherk of Steelguard Fence Ltd. “My very first advice to any home owner with a pool who wants to fence is to check with their local municipality bylaw; each municipality requirements are different,� says Scherk. “Usually when you request a permit for a pool they will have specs for fencing. Keep in mind these specs are for the
www.tricitynews.com
minimum required but we can tell them what it will take to keep the family safe.� Have you noticed the black metal fencing appearing over the last few years? It used to be a chain-link fence was either a natural steel or white and pretty industrial in appearance. Now there are different types of chain-link fencing available that you can place anywhere. The black chain-link almost disappears into the background. The other great thing about the new black fencing is that it is almost maintenance-free, it doesn’t show dirt unlike white or natural, and once installed it will last almost forever, since a hose or the rain will wash off any dirt. The wire on a chain-link fence is coated with PVC with a UV rating which will stand up to ultra-violet light for decades. The posts are galvanized pipe over which there is a powder-coated finish, the same type of finish There are many types of fencing available for every type of project, from a modern on a barbeque, so it will last for decades. metal railing, above, to new black chain-link, below.

Finding an alternative energy source There are many different types of alternative energy, so it’s no longer a one-size-fits all approach to heating and cooling your home. By Maggie Calloway Alternative energy for the home comes in various forms. They include solar, both hot water and solar photovoltaics (full on solar collectors for the whole house), wind turbine, Geothermal and GeoExchange. Those last two terms are often used interchangeably but are actually different; Geothermal is the direct use of heat generated at great depths below the Earth’s surface and GeoExchange is a central heat pump-based heating and cooling system which pumps heat into or out of the ground or body of water. Scott Fleenor, a principal with TerraTek Energy Solutions Inc., specializes in renewable energy systems, with a primary focus on solar thermal, photovoltaic, small-scale wind and microhydro energy production. In-house capabilities include design, specification, system supply and installation. Throughout southwestern British Columbia, TerraTek has successfully designed, supplied and installed hundreds of systems for residential, multi-residential and commercial. “All these technologies cost money but it depends on how you define cost. Essentially with all these systems you are buying your energy up front,” says Fleenor. “Over the life of the systems, they will pay for themselves. For instance, a single collector for domestic hot water we are talking approximately $6,700. Keeping in mind every situation is unique, for a system to service three to six people it would be around $8,800. For a photovoltaic, a solar electric system, it would be $4 to $7 a watt, fully installed. This would be a system tied to the grid with no batteries meaning you can pull from the grid when needed and sell back to the grid when you are producing more energy than you are using.” With the introduction of BC Hydro’s SmartMeters, alternative energy might be a good option. “The new SmartMeters have a secondary screen
which shows the revenue stream to and from Hydro. If you plan on living in your home for the foreseeable future the payback makes sense. ... We are also finding houses with some alternative energy sources are very attractive to home buyers.” Wind power has some limitations in the land of tall trees. Fleenor says that in our climate you would want to use a heavy, slow revolutions-per-minute turbine, but they are not cheap to install at a starting price of around $20,000. Much of the cost is due to the tower. The rule of thumb is the turbine needs to be at least 20 feet above the highest object within 300 feet of the building in order get into the good laminate wind. “Right now your best cost per watt is solar hot water then photovoltaic because once installed they are pretty much maintenance-free because there are no moving parts. Wind has ongoing costs because the turbine should be tilted down once a year to make sure everything is where it should be; if you have a high tower it can get expensive,” Fleenor says. “If you live in a remote location where there is a cost benefit because bringing hydro to the property is extremely expensive, these different applications are perfect. Most people use a combination in these circumstances, using different systems depending on the weather.” Fleenor says living off-grid is a lifestyle choice. You use the resource when it’s there and modify your life when it’s not. I am familiar with these choices after living with a well; you can’t have a shower while running the dishwasher and putting in a load of laundry. It becomes automatic to space things out, make sure the dishwasher is full and only wash clothes when it’s necessary. I predict there will be more alternative energy sources built into residences which in turn will bring the price down.

Dedicating g a room to the art of washing clothes not unusual By Maggie Calloway Remember when the washer and dryer were automatically banished to a dark corner of the basement? Well, no more! Laundry rooms are now not just any room, but a designed room. Doing laundry is now an experience, with top-end appliances, drying racks, linen storage, granite counters and marble backsplashes. I must admit I approve of this metamorphosis; doing laundry was always such a grim but necessary chore. Having the right tools to do a great job applies to this job as well as any other, and a dedicated room fully kitted out is a wonderful thing. So what makes not just a stylish room but one that works well? Looks are important but not as important as workability. Think through the process: where are the soiled clothes stored? If you have side-by-side appliances make sure the doors open the right way; you don’t want to be loading the dryer over the door of the washer. Each should open in the opposite direction so a clear inner space is formed. Shelving for laundry soap, bleach and such should be above the washer and dryer but high enough to allow you to use the top of each appliance as counter space if you are in a small room. And let’s not forget the ironing board; you need enough space to comfortably put up the board and an installed rod to hang up finished items. This rod is also great for drying hand-washed delicates. Interior designer Marlene Bourque of High Design works with John Friswell of CCI Renovations on many of his projects including laundry rooms. “This last laundry room we worked on was originally an office on the main floor of the home. We had room here to put the washer, dryer and sink, etc. on one side of the room
Laundry rooms are no longer hidden corners of the house where you dread visiting. Now, thanks to new innovations in design, it’s easy to drop in a load of laundry and get on with your day. Submitted photos
and a linen closet on the other which left lots of room for an ironing board,” says Bourque. “This is a family with young children so having the laundry room on the main floor made great sense. Having lots of storage in a laundry room is a great luxury.” If your laundry room is small, installing closed upper cabinets could feel confining. Think about open shelving with attractive baskets.

environmental way. Steal an idea from the garage and install a wall-mounted storage system; it gets everything up off the floor and, done properly, can look quite chic. One thing I love in a laundry room is a very deep sink, again just like the old days, in which you can do many things, from leaving items to soak to washing the dog. This is one room in the house where you can go a little wild with great coloured walls, maybe some wallpaper and let’s not forget a T.V. to help with the ironing. Why not?

Pushing g a mower could be an exercise regimen in itself “ from page.1
carburetion systems so they are much easier to start. You can now push a button to prime and the fuel is available immediately to the combustion chamber, no more pulling and pulling hoping the engine will catch,� he says. “In my opinion they have designed the system so they will start almost immediately and are much cleaner burning.� If you have a larger property or a property that has a sloping lawn, a self-propelled gas mower is the way to go unless you want to fold pushing a lawnmower into your exercise program. Like all things in life, as Chrzanecki says, there is good, better and best and the world of lawnmowers is no different. “You have your basic steel deck push mower; a little better unit would still be a gas mower, still with a steel deck but may be self-propelled and mulch, which is a good thing; mulching is good for your lawn. As you get up the scale you get to a Toro model which they call a super mulcher. It’s an aluminum deck so the deck will not rot; it’s a 25-year machine if looked after.� Once you have sorted out what you need in the way of a mower, you need to take care of it if you want it to last and perform at the top of its game. Dana Nicholson, the fulltime mechanic at Foreshore, has 25 years experience with lawnmowers of every stripe. “My advice to everyone with a mower is to really watch which fuel they use and how they use it. The fuel we have from the pump has a very short shelf life; just a few weeks before it starts to break down. I recommend, as most people will have to buy fuel from a gas station, (buying) premium fuel with no ethanol and only buy a gallon at a time,� says Nicholson. “I know it’s inconvenient but unlike fuel in our cars which gets used up quickly, gas sits in a lawnmower for weeks and sometimes months. If possible, buy Aspen fuel from a store specializing in lawnmowers or power tools; this fuel is refined down so far it is very clean burning with a long shelf life. The other piece of advice is to keep the blades sharp and clean. Look after the mower and it will do a good job for you.�
Al Chrzanecki, above, of Foreshore Equipment and Supply is a fan of the new gas mowers. Dana Nicholson, right, has been fixing lawnmowers for 25 years, and says his top tip is to watch what kind of fuel you use. Martin Knowles photos

Brightening up your life with heritage paint By Maggie Calloway There is no getting around it, painting the exterior of your home is a big job whether you decide to tackle it yourself or hire a contractor. We have all heard of curb appeal, and the quality of the paint job, the colours you choose and where you put each colour can make the difference between a stunning exterior and one that just doesn’t work. If you decide to paint it yourself, know that preparation is 80 per cent of the job. Tedious as it may be, taking the time to prep means your house will look great and the job will last. Make sure the wood is dry. In our climate it pays to wait until we have enjoyed a long string of sunny days, as painting over wet wood creates a world of problems, not the least of which is the new paint forming blisters. If you are painting over old paint, scrape off flakes with a wire brush and clean the surface. If there are bare patches, prime before painting. Check to see what kind of paint was used previously then take advice from the paint store about which paint to use. Buy the best paint you can afford; this is not the time to be frugal. You want your home to look fantastic now and for years to come. Is there an art in picking paint colours? Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting certainly believes so. “We have been fortunate to be hired to paint the exteriors of the ‘Painted Ladies’, the four heritage houses on West 10th (in Vancouver) and you can imagine how jarring it would be to get the colour balance wrong,� she says. “The colours are very bright and different on each house; they really make a statement.� We have all agonized over paint colours, especially for the exterior. It’s not like making a colour mistake in the dining room which can be remedied in a day. Nyline says the problem is people are trying to make colour choices from a two- by two-inch paint chip,
which is impossible. “You stand in a paint store and stare at thousands of colours, how are you supposed to put colours together?� Nyline says. “First, take note of everything you can’t change; the roof colour and the colour of the stonework, the colour or your window trim if they are vinyl, etc. Next, (look at) the natural surroundings. If you have a ton of trees around the house that green foliage will impact how colour looks on your house. For instance, if you use paint with a red undertone on a north-facing house with lots of trees, in a certain light the house will have a slightly pink look to it. You have to paint large five-feet by five-feet samples of your preferred colour range on (a) board to get the proper impact of that colour on your house.� The moral of this story is take time. Time to do proper prep work, time to properly chose appropriate colours, time to do the best job possible, or hire someone who cares enough to do the same.
Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting believes that there is an art to choosing paint colours, whether they’re for Vancouver’s “Painted Ladies�, left and below, or for a suburban home in need of a new look, below left. Submitted photos
