Shelter in PoCo gets green light Temporary church shelter wins despite residential disapproval Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Hannah Tvergyak, Mitch Howey (left), and Aarman Bondar, Grade 10 students, are participating in the COAST program, an outdoor education program that has taught leadership, environmental and outdoor skills to students for a decade. See story on page 3.

A temporary homeless shelter will operate out of Grace Church on Kingsway Avenue next winter after council voted in favour of moving ahead with the initiative despite opposition from area residents. The majority of people who spoke at a public input session on Monday said they would be opposed to the shelter, which they believe will increase crime and reduce property values in the neighbourhood. But council voted in favour of al- WRIGHT lowing the initiative to operate on a six-month trial basis. That means the Hope For Freedom Society, which will operate the shelter, will have to come back next year to receive another temporary use permit for the facility. Coun. Michael Wright said forcing the society to come back to council will allow the city to gauge the impact on the neighbourhood before making a decision for the 2013-2014 winter shelter program. He also added that many of the fears expressed by residents were overstated. “I have seen many controversial public hearings,” he said. “In many cases the fears that have been expressed never actually materialize. I am hoping this is one case where they do not materialize.” see CRIME CRIME,, page 4

Endangered status sought Council backs last-minute appeal to get Riverview on endangered list By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam city council this week added its voice to the chorus of supporters who want to see Riverview Hospital on a top 10 list of the country’s most endangered historic sites. On Monday, city council unanimously voted to back the bid by the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society (RHCS),

which last week — and after the deadline had passed — rushed to submit its application for the mental-health facility to be included on the 2012 Heritage Canada Foundation list of endangered places. Councillors Craig Hodge and Neal Nicholson, chair and vice-chair of the city’s Riverview lands advisory committee, said foundation officials are now sifting through the paperwork from dozens of groups across Canada. And they pressed Coquitlam council to make an on-the-spot decision to write a letter immediately to help the society rather than wait the usual two weeks for a notice of motion — a move that bristled

several council members who felt blindsided by the sudden call to action. “With this sort of thing, you piss me off,” Coun. Terry O’Neill said, commenting on the lack of background information available to council before voting on the topic. Coun. Brent Asmundson also criticized Hodge and Nicholson for the way the issue was handled. Dropping it on council’s lap at the last minute, he said, shows “not a lot of respect” for the people elected to represent the community. see GETTING GETTING,, page 3

Map reading, canoeing and wet feet Gleneagle students teach Pitt River middle school kids about safety in the outdoors By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Pitt River middle school students learned some lessons about orienteering, leadership — and how not to tip a canoe — from youths not much older than themselves. The result was an A grade for Gleneagle secondary school’s COAST program. For the past week, Grade 10 students from the decade-old outdoor education program have been educating their younger counterparts about safety in the wild. Kids bused to Buntzen Lake by COAST teacher Adam Hayes got to explore the beach and nearby forest, learn how to use a map, play leadership games and paddle out onto the lake safely under the guidance of the older students. “It was really fun for everyone; they showed us how it was done and then [we got to] try it ourselves,” said Cain Beebe, a Grade 7 student who was one of about 60 students who participated in the program last Wednesday. The students spent the morning at the lake and got to have hot dogs prepared by the older teens in the afternoon. “I learned canoeing isn’t easy,” admitted Rilley Gelinas, also in Grade 7 at Pitt River middle in Port Coquitlam. Gelinas said it was hard to stop the canoe from tipping at first, but then, the students figured it out although a few running shoes got soaked in the process. “Everyone was helping out each

other. It was a great day,” said Grade 7 student Meghan Houlihan. COAST teacher Krista Bogen said the student mentorship program is a key part of the curriculum that teaches the students to be independent, mature and care about the environment. Approximately 24 students are in the program that gives them credit for English 10, Social Studies 10, Planning 10 online, Leadership 11 and PE 10 and 11. The teachers integrate these subjects through project-based learning and field trips to the Stein Valley, Manning Park, kayaking and other outdoor activities. The students recently returned from an 11-day canoeing trip across the Bowron lakes. “It teaches them maturity is really what it does,” Bogen said. Several COAST students The News talked to said they enjoyed teaching the Pitt River middle school kids and found they learned a lot themselves about leadership and outdoor skills. One student even said it changed his life. Mitch Howey said he is now a very enthusiastic outdoorsman, who loves canoeing and camping. As the kids packed up for the day, a few took a canoe out for one last ride. Howey, Hannah Tvergyak and Aarman Bondar donned life jackets and pushed the watercraft onto the still waters of Buntzen Lake. And then, like real pros they hopped in, and not a single running shoe got soaked.

Getting on list no guarantee — official continued from front page

Mayor Richard Stewart, too, cautioned council for trending towards notices of motion that don’t include staff reports or consultation. Last month, council banned shark fins from being sold in the city without hearing from the Asian restaurant owners or knowing what the penalties would be for violators. In the case for Riverview, Stewart said he would have liked to have been more prepared. “I’m not certain it’s one of the 10 most endangered,” he said of the 99-year-old hospital grounds. Still, despite the politics, councillors stressed the need to preserve the provincially owned site, which at one time housed more than 4,000 patients. “It’s important that we get on this year’s list,” Hodge said, adding the provincial government is

currently undertaking a Heritage Conservation Plan for Riverview. Coun. Mae Reid, who moved to expedite the issue at Monday’s city council meeting, called the province a bad landlord for letting the former award-winning buildings deteriorate. Yesterday, RHCS director Sue Haberger said she was pleased Coquitlam council would be adding a letter to the society’s nomination package. Every year, the foundation bases its decisions on key factors — the property’s heritage value, its level of threat and the community support to keep it — “and it seems to me that Riverview fits the bill for all three,” Haberger said. “I think Riverview should be number one on the endangered list.” Letters of support for the society’s bid also have come in from the Burke Mountain Naturalists,

Carolyn Quinn, director of communications for Heritage Canada Foundation, said a committee made up of officials in

the building conservation and preservation fields will publish its list in September. But Quinn said being on the list doesn’t guarantee a heritage building will be saved. “In fact, some of our buildings on past lists are now on our ‘worst losses’ list,” she said.

Crime, home values a concern continued from front page

IN QUOTES

One of the fears is that property values will be negatively impacted by a shelter in the Kingsway nieghbourhood. Keith Bell, a resident of the area who sent an email to council outlining his concerns, asked how the city and the church planned to compensate residents for their loss in home value. “Anytime you have a negative strike against a property, it’s a big reason for buyers to move on to a property with fewer negatives against it,” he wrote. “By reducing the pool of potential buyers for your home to only buyers who are comfortable living near a shelter, the competition and demand for your home is reduced.” But Rob Thiessen, the director of Hope For Freedom, said numerous studies have been conducted across North America and have found that there is no link between shelters and home prices. As for concerns over increased crime in the area resulting from the shelter, Thiessen points to the cold/wet weather mat program. Hope For Freedom has operated the shelter program since 2007 and said the RCMP has seen no increase in crime around shelter locations. “I am not sure how people make the connection between homeless and sheltering people,” he said. “If they are not in a shelter that means they are out banging around in the community unsupervised. If they

“These residents are going to get the brunt of it.”

Grace Church on Kingsway Avenue in Port Coquitlam will double as a homeless shelter in the winter months, after council voted in favour of the proposal at a meeting on Monday night. are in a shelter they are being watched all night long.” The Grace church shelter will bridge the gap between the closure of the cold/wet weather mat program, which ended last spring, and the opening of a permanent facility at 3030 Gordon Ave. in 2014. It is expected to operate during the winter months, between October and March, for the next two years. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg

Moore, who supported the shelter initiative, said many changes had been made to the proposal to accommodate residents. Originally, the shelter was going to be a year-round proposal. Now, he said, it will be done on a six-month trial basis. Moore also believe the shelter will have a limited impact on the surrounding neighbourhood. After the cold/wet weather mat program came to the

Riverside church, Moore said he knocked on several doors in the neighbourhood to see how residents felt about the shelter. “Almost every house told us they didn’t even know it was there,” he said. “That goes to show the lack of impact it had on the neighbourhood.” But not all councillors were in support of the shelter initiative at Grace Church, with councillors Glenn Pollock and Dean Washington voting against the plan. Pollock, who volunteered for the cold/wet weather mat program, which rotated between various churches, said he was concerned with the impact keeping the shelter in one location would have on the neighbourhood. “These residents are going to feel the brunt of it,” he said. “The [cold/wet weather mat program] moved around. People were bused in. This is going to be at one location. “ Pollock also noted that all of the people who supported the shelter at Monday’s public hearing lived outside of the neighbourhood. “I am hoping I am wrong about this,” he said. “If everyone gets to tell me ‘I told you so,’ that will be great.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

The Por t Moody Police are asking for further investigation after receiving a report on its possibly flawed roadside screening devices. An outside agency was asked to review the way the PMPD calibrates its screening devices last October after defence lawyer Paul Doroshenko suggested there may be flaws in the process, resulting in inaccurate results and unwarranted penalties for drunk driving. The department asked the Of fice of the Police Complaints Commissioner to order an investigation into the situation, and the PMPD also conducted an internal investigation. The PMPD did not respond to a request for information on the results of the investigations. Doroshenko, who represents people who have faced fines or roadside suspensions under stiff drunk driving regulations introduced in 2010, raised concerns about the legislation after he discovered the PMPD may have been im-

properly calibrating its screening devices. “People in Port Moody need to know that all year long, the officer who has been doing this has been doing it incorrectly,” Doroshenko told The Tri-City News in October 2011. “The results are not reliable.” D o r o s h e n ko s a i d the PMPD’s of ficer in charge of calibrating the breathalyzers wasn’t replacing a bottle of solution, designed to simulate the alcohol reading, often enough. The office of Motor Vehicles requires the solution be replaced after 16 tests but in Port Moody, Doroshenko said, it was being used for at least 18 tests and possibly for up to 50 tests. Under the regulations introduced in 2010, drivers who blew over the .08 limit faced an automatic 90-day driving suspension, fines and had to install an ignition interlock device on their vehicle for one year. Drivers who blew in the warn range (between .05 and .08) received a three-day suspension for a first offence. But in November, the B.C. Supreme Court de-

Defence lawyer Paul Doroshenko believes there may be flaws in the way the Port Moody Police Department callibrates their roadside screening devices.

Roads, Evergreen top of mind in Coq. survey By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam residents are most concerned about how they get around the city, according to a citizen survey released this week by Ipsos Reid. At Monday’s city council meeting, Catherine Knaus, an associate vicepresident with the research company, unveiled the results of the telephone poll taken of 602 participants in April, which showed transportation and transit-related issues as being “top of mind” for Coquitlam residents. Specifically, nearly half of respondents noted the city’s lack of public transit, traffic congestion, road conditions and the Evergreen Line as major problems for moving around. A total of 89% of participants who cited transportation said the roads need to be repaved while 86% said promoting public transit services should be a city priority. Respondents put the expansion of bike facilities at the bottom of the list — a point Coun. Terry O’Neill noted as being contrary to the city’s Strategic Transportation Plan, which calls for pedestrian and cycling improvements in an effort to reduce the city’s carbon footprint. Transportation has ranked at the top of the list for the past decade,

since city hall subscribed to the Ipsos Reid municipal survey. Other big issues facing the city include taxation and crime, the latter showing a dramatic drop in residents’ perceptions since 2003. Then, 21% of residents commented on crime as being a problem while 10% of respondents today say crime is a “top of mind” concern. Among the biggest crime and personal safety issues are: break and enter/property theft; drugs; auto theft; theft; vandalism; gang violence; grow ops; homelessness; and robbery. M e a n wh i l e, 9 6 % o f re s p o n dents rated their quality of life in Coquitlam as being very good or good — a three-point drop from last year. Asked why their quality of life has improved, they noted the number of recreational facilities; improved transportation/roads; and environmental awareness. And those who said their quality of life had worsened pointed to the high density; traffic/traffic congestion; and development/increased growth. As well, on satisfaction with city services, respondents listed public works (98%); fire services (96%); parks (96%); police services (92%); and sports fields (92%). Road maintenance was at the bottom (76%). jwarren@tricitynews.com

Job search, benefits extended By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

The B.C. government is extending the mandatory job search for new income assistance applicants from three to five weeks, and increasing the amount of earned income people can keep without losing part of their welfare payments. Premier Christy Clark and Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux announced a list of reforms to the income assistance program Monday. Employable social assistance recipients will now be able to earn up to $200 per month without losing benefits, and recipients will be required to file income tax returns. Cadieux said B.C. was the only province that deducted all the earned income from employable people. The $200

People receiving disability benefits will now be able to retain up to $800 a month, up from $500. The exempted earnings can also be calculated as $9,600 a year, to allow disabled

people to work more during times when their health allows it. Families on income assistance will get an increased school startup supplement before each school year, up from $84 to $100 for each child aged five to 11, and an increase from $116 to $175 for children 12

and over who are returning to school. Clark said the total cost to taxpayers for enhanced benefits will be about $5 million per year. The gover nment is also easing restrictions on assets people can keep while collecting income assistance. A single person can have up to $2,000, including cash, while families are allowed to have up to $4,000 in assets. Disability assistance recipients can have up to $5,000 worth of assets for individuals and $10,000 for couples and families. Clients who are expected to work can keep a vehicle valued at up to $10,000. Cadieux said the opening of 85 WorkBC centres in April will help people find work and get off income assistance. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Kingsbury seeks to overturn conviction

Sunday School & Nursery

Former Coquitlam Mayor Jon Kingsbury was in the B.C. Court of Appeal last week in the hopes of overturning his conviction for fraud. Kingsbury filed for appeal last July after being convicted of forgery, impersonation and fraud over $5,000. He was sentenced to two years of probation and 150 hours of community service. The convictions relate to

an incident from the summer of 2008, when Kingsbury took a trailer belonging to former business associate Jean Aussant from a Langley RV dealership. During the trial, Kingsbury asserted he loaned Aussant $24,000 to purchase the trailer. Aussant, however, believed the payment was Kingsbury’s deposit on his agreement to purchase half of Aussant’s business for $450,000.

A f t e r the deal went south, Kingsbury took the trailer from the dealership where it was being KINGSBURY re paired by signing Aussant’s name. Kingsbury maintains he was simply trying to recoup some of the losses related to the soured business arrange-

ment. The trial judge, however, said by allowing employees at the dealership to believe he was Aussant and by signing Aussant’s name on the work order, Kingsbury broke the law. The Appeal Court reserved its judgement. Kingsbury was mayor of Coquitlam from 1998 to 2005 after serving more than a decade as a city councillor. spayne@tricitynews.com

t’s official. Get ready to put your work tools down — be they a hammer, pen, or serving tray — and spend more time with your kin next February as the B.C. government announced the latest statutory holiday, Family Day, is scheduled for the second week of the month. In this case, Feb. 11 is the date. It’s also the date Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington, fellow independent MLA Bob Simpson, and newly minted B.C. Tory John van Dongen say is too costly for the economy to bear. They believe the government is wrong to offer the people something plenty of other parts of the country already enjoy — a much-needed break in a dreary and dark winter month. Van Dongen says the holiday will not create a single new job. Was it supposed to? It will cost the business community in B.C. an estimated $62 million and place increased pressure on budgets – especially those running a small business they say. Well, that’s assuming everyone enjoying the break stays at home and asks meekly for another lump of coal for the fire. But what do many of us do over a long weekend? Those keen on hitting the malls will do just that – and plenty of retail operations will likely be more than willing to entice them to shop with some keen price promotions. Some of us will dine out, and some outdoor-minded folk may head to the slopes of local ski hills. All of that will add up to some economic activity. But the biggest return from all of this isn’t the money we spend on food, entertainment, consumer goods, or outdoor recreation. It’s the theme of the holiday that should pay dividends here. It will provide families stressed by the hectic pace of school, work and other activities the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other. British Columbians need a break, and one with family makes sense. – Black Press

Saying goodbye to B.C.’s greenhouse gas goals BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA n February this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?” The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes. The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surprising given some of the recommendations, such as firing up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand. The plan confirms a few things that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable future. And with mining ramp-

ing up along with natural gas development and population growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50% over the next 20 years. The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production. B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S., its only export customer for heating fuel and electricity use. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33% greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80% by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020. Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three liquefied natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia. Not only will B.C. need to buy gas-fired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and resi-

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Plastic can be green The Editor, I am amazed at the short-sightedness displayed by the proponents for the banning of plastic bags. We are once again, as always it seems, treating the symptoms rather than the disease. The problem with the plastic bags is not the bag but control of the bag. By banning bags rather than controlling their life cycle, we remove one

of the most effective methods of sequestering carbon from our environment. Scores of scientists are spending time and money to find ways of removing and retaining carbon from the atmosphere. Plastics, which consist of long chain carbon polymers, are an ideal vehicle for tying up this carbon, and rendering it ineffective for a long time. So, instead of ban-

ning plastic bags, which in use are much more hygienic than cloth bags, we should target our efforts at controlling the life cycle, to prevent them from becoming a “pollutant.” We have been quite successful with our black/green/blue cart program. Why not expand that to control the plastics and help control carbon? M. Guenther Port Coquitlam

Roundup? Drink up The Editor: I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on the hysterical reactions to any chemical use. With regard to Roundup, this compound is a very specific inhibitor of an enzyme unique to photosynthesis. Therefore it affects only photosynthesizing organisms, typically green plants. It has even gone through phase one clinical trials (which test safety for humans) because there was some idea that it might help with arthritis. No such luck. In other words, you could drink the stuff with no ill effect. Neil Madsen Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry Oak Bay

Spy bill not warranted The proposed legislation will force every phone and Internet provider to allow “authorities” to collect the private information of any Canadian, at any time, without a warrant. A range of “authorities” will have the ability to invade the private lives of law-abiding Canadians and our families using wired Internet and mobile devices, without justification. The laws leave our

personal and financial information less secure and more susceptible to cybercrime. As well, Internet services providers may be forced to install millions of dollars worth of spying technology and the cost will be passed down to you. These are some of the reasons why eight-in-10 Canadians oppose expensive warrantless surveillance of electronic activity. Ron Peters Coquitlam

The Editor, Despite a massive public outcry, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews recently proclaimed the gover nment is still “intent on proceeding” with his unpopular warrantless online spying bill. Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems far from eager to discuss the legislation he’s promised to pass — legislation that will allow online spying without a warrant.

Cops raise cancer $$$ On Wednesday, getting out of jail will depend entirely on how much money you can raise. That’s because Coquitlam RCMP officers will be nabbing community members and locking them up — at Coquitlam Centre — in the Jail and Bail day to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Mounties will be zeroing in on targets like Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and other elected officials, store managers from Coquitlam and PoCo shops, realtors and administrators from local high schools. They’ll be taken to “jail” near the mall’s food court area, where they’ll be working the phones to raise enough “bail” money to set themselves free. The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., is a fundraising event for the Coquitlam RCMP’s Awesome Foursome — constables Jen Goodings, Matt Berinbaum, Danick Nolet and Michael Murray — participating

in the 2012 Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast later this year. “Cancer is a disease that can happen to anyone,” said Berinbaum in a release. “A number of my family members went through long, painful cancer fights. And I recently lost a very close friend to ovarian cancer, which really struck a chord with me. This is part of what motivated me to join Cops for Cancer.” The Awesome Foursome is hoping to raise $24,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. “We appreciate everyone’s efforts in doing their part in the fight against cancer,” Goodings said. “We especially want to give our volunteer ‘mock prisoners’ a million thanks for donating their time and money for this worthy cause.” The public is welcome to drop by the Jail and Bail event and donate to the Canadian Cancer Society. spayne@tricitynews.com

Parking cap gets cool reception Trend towards less driving cited, but politicians doubtful By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

A trend towards less vehicle ownership and fewer people driving has prompted Metro Vancouver officials to recommend caps on how many parking spaces are built into new apartment and condo buildings, particularly those near public transit. A survey by Metro staff found strata buildings have 18 to 35 per cent more parking stalls than are actually required by residents — a vast waste of unused space. “Young people are delaying getting licences and are purchasing fewer vehicles,” said Janet Kreda, a senior housing planner at Metro. “It’s not just because of the recession, but a longer term trend.

It seems w e ’ r e d r iv i n g cars less and owning cars less.” Kreda WEST n o t e d the number of registered vehicles in Metro Vancouver has declined and membership in carsharing services is growing rapidly. In line with the driving trend, the new Metro Vancouver Apartment Parking Study suggests cities set a maximum of one to two stalls per strata condo (depending on number of bedrooms) for buildings that are within 800 metres of TransLink’s Frequent Transit Network, where transit service is guaranteed every 15 minutes or less. And it suggested a lower cap of one to 1.5 stalls per rental apartment near transit, on the basis that renters are less likely to own vehicles. The study also sug-

Serve kids booze, pay $575 Serving booze to underage youth could result in $575 fine. The fine applies to serving staff who fail to check identification, in addition to penalties already in place for licensed establishments that serve under-aged drinkers. Those penalties range from fines of $7,500 to $10,000 or a licence suspension of 10 to 15 days. Parents and guard-

ians who provide booze to their under-19 children are exempt from the tickets. “These changes give police and liquor inspectors another tool to make it harder for minors to get alcohol,” said Rich Coleman, minister responsible for liquor and gambling policy.

CORRIGAN

gests visitor parking be cut from a typical two stalls for every 10 units to just

one. Other recommendations include more steps to promote car-sharing and encourage developers to sell units without a parking stall to buyers who can forgo a car to save money. But Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, Metro’s regional planning and agriculture committee chair, said the findings are out of step with the political reality on the ground. “All of us in our communities will be beaten over the heads with your recommendations,” he said. Corrigan said street

parking is already heavily congested in many dense neighbourhoods across the region and putting less parking into new developments would worsen the problem. Too many people would forgo a stall to save $20,000 or more but then join the battle for scarce street parking because they want a car after all, predicted Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner. “In Port Coquitlam, that dog wont hun’t,” added Port Coquitlam Coun. Brad West. “We hear consistently from people that there’s not enough parking in new developments.” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said three major developments have been rejected recently in his city because of neighbours outraged about the potential parking impacts from the in-

It’s not the sort of criminal activity most people associate with the forensic policing TV show CSI. I But the City of Surrey has considered using DNA testing to identify and fine dog owners who fail to pick up after their pets in its civic parks. The concept — in use in some gated communities in the U.S. — has offending dog poop sent away for DNA testing and then matched to a local dog, whose owner can then be punished. The idea was contemplated earlier this year, said Surrey parks manager Owen Croy, adding it’s been shelved for now because the cost is high and it’s unclear how all Surrey’s dog owners could be compelled in advance to provide mouth swab samples of their dogs to develop the required DNA database. “It doesn’t seem practical,” Croy said. “We believe it’s something we should keep in mind but it’s nothing we’re going to be implementing in the near future.” He said the costs per dog would have been $30 to develop the initial DNA profile using mouth swabs. Pursuing offenders would have cost $10 per test kit and another $80 for the test.

from three bins at Tynehead, $150 weekly to maintain another five bins at Boundary Bay’s trail, and about $1,000 a year to pump out the in-ground tank at Aldergrove Lake. Jensen defended the importance of the dog waste initiative, adding it’s being closely watched by parks officials at local cities. Jensen said Metro is also watching a UBC researcher, who is testing whether worms can improve the composting of dog waste. Final recommendations of the pilot projects are expected in the next few months.

Metro Vancouver is seeking an envrionmentally friendly way of retrieving and disposing of dog waste.

LOCAL

The search for the most environmentally friendly way to retrieve dog droppings in regional parks has led Metro Vancouver to test unusual solutions — including one where it pays contractors to cut open every dog waste bag so the contents can be taken to a sewage treatment plant. That’s the system being tried at Tynehead Re g i o n a l Pa rk i n Surrey and Boundary Bay Regional Park in Tsawwassen and officials say it looks like a promising method that may extend to the rest of the regional park system. Special red bins have been set up at those two parks where dog walkers are directed to deposit poop bags, instead of using regular garbage bins. Metro then pays New We s t m i n s t e r - b a s e d Scooby’s Dog Waste Removal Service to take the dog waste bags to their facility and snip open each one with scissors so the poop can be dealt with as sewage and the bags go in the garbage. “Park visitors seem to buy in easier,” said Gudrun Jensen, Metro’s operations services division manager. “It encourages people to pick it up because they know there’s a place for it to go and it will go in the right waste stream.” Diverting dog poop to the sewage system reduces the amount of waste in the garbage stream and keeps it from rotting in a landfill, generating methane that contributes to climate change, Jensen said. Metro estimates 2.5 million dogs a year are brought to its regional parks, generating 500 tonnes of dog waste annually — equivalent to 50 dump truck loads. “Most people are astounded at the size of the problem when they

hear about it,” said Jensen. Other techniques are also being tried. At Aldergrove Lake Regional Park’s dog off-leash area, a special in-ground tank for dog waste has been installed by Metro at a cost of $2,600. Visitors are provided marker flags they can plant in the ground beside where their pet has pooped. They then get a red-handled shovel, return to the flagged deposit, scoop it and drop it in the tank, which is periodically pumped out and taken to a sewage plant. Jensen said that system has also worked well, but is best suited to where dog activity is concentrated. Trails can be problematic, even for the contractor-maintained waste bins. “People want to drop their dog poo as soon as they can,” she said. “If the bin is too far away they will drop the bag on the ground, throw it in a tree or throw it in the next garbage bin.” Asked how much has been spent on the dog waste trials in total, Jensen estimated $15,000. That includes $75 per week to collect waste

JAMES PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY

THE EVENT

• The James Park bell is calling students, staff and families to a celebration Friday, June 15. Family viewing of archives (free) runs from 4 to 5:30 p.m.; the adult event runs 6 to 9 p.m. and features light appetizers and beverages. Tickets for the latter cost $10 per person and are available at the school office or by emailing dponsart@sd43.bc.ca or cleavehouse@ shaw.ca.

Celebrating 100 years of learning at a PoCo school By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

he little brass bell inscribed with the names of James Park elementary school principals dating back to 1913 rings with authority when current principal Petra Kintzinger gives it a shake. You can almost picture a gaggle of kids running up the wooden stairs to greet stern Emma Cox nearly 100 years ago. Cox was the first James Park principal and ruled with an iron hand from 1913 to 1933, terrifying youngsters and schooling them, as well, in geography, British and Canadian studies and composition. Judging by a few report cards that have been kept all these years, Cox had high expectations of her charges when she presided over the first James Park school building, which opened in 1913. “A very good student,” she wrote in elegant cursive script for Lilly Greenwood’s report card in 1915. Greenwood’s general conduct improved from B to A during the months of August through December under Cox’s strict but inspirational leadership. But it’s likely there were other students who didn’t live up to her strict standards. “She used to terrify me” is how one former student described her feelings about her Grade 1 teacher in a newspaper article dating back 25 years. Ruth McKenzie said Cox demanded and got respect from her stu-

Right: Debbie Ponsart, an SEA and the organizer of the school’s 100th anniversary celebration this week, examines a bell that was once used to call students in to class. dents “but when you got to know her, she was a terrific person.” On Friday, June 15, former James Park alumni will have an opportunity to relive their own school experiences during a 100th anniversary celebration. The party, with a meet-and-greet session for the community and a ticketed event following, is being held to in anticipation of the closure of the current school, which replaced Cox’s building in 1963. A new concrete building under construction next door will open for current students in the fall. Anniversary organizer Debbie Ponsart said she wanted to give the community a chance to say goodbye and take walk down memory lane with the school’s collection of photographs and artifacts. Although the first school building opened in 1913, Ponsart said 1912

marks the earliest days of James P a r k , w h e n students from overcrowded KINTZINGER Junction school took their lessons in a tent and studied in a house on Langan Avenue while their two-storey, four-room building was being constructed. With the cur rent building slated to be torn down, “I thought it was the perfect time to have a community celebration,” Ponsart said. She has sifted through dozens of boxes of photog raphs and other memorabilia, and has even unearthed a time capsule from 25 years ago she hopes to bring to the event. The photos of school plays and basketball teams show how much the school meant to

its students and teachers. “I’m surprised at how much of a role the school played in the community,” she said. In fact, PoCo’s May Day celebrations were started by Mrs. Cox in 1916 before they were taken over by the city. While there are few old-timers left, many current staffers have been at the school for years, and retired teachers from many years ago will be returning, said Ponsart, who has been a special education assistant at James Park for 20 years. “Come and visit,” she urged, “It will be a lot of fun.”

Technology and inclusion Thirty years ago, James Park elementary was a lighthouse school for integrating students with special needs. Today, it continues to educate students of all abilities with advanced technology. A grant from Special Education Technology BC (SET-BC) will provide the school with 14 laptop computers, a smart board that connects to the internet and computer software called Solo 6 so children with learning difficul-

ties can learn to read and write along with their peers. Principal Petra Kintzinger said SET-BC, which assists schools in educating students with physical disabilities, visual impairments, autism or intellectual disabilities through the use of adaptive technology, will once again enable James Park to be an education leader. In the mid-1980s before inclusion was established in all schools,

then-principal Ted Fridge and vice-principal Steve Rogers ended segregation of students with learning challenges by bringing them from a nearby annex into regular classes. “That was an important milestone in our history,” Kintzinger said. Now, with the new technology from SET-BC and professional development for classroom teachers, the school will continue to be an education leader, she says.

For an entertaining read, David Mitchell has it all A GOOD READ Jay Peters

ooking for a historical novel? Science fiction? Romance? Adventure? Suspense? Memorable characters? Pathos? Humour? An intricate plot? Try English author David Mitchell who often delivers all these elements in a single novel. These robust reads can set one’s head on end, but also build reader strength. His books are boot camp for your reading self. Cloud Atlas, the mightiest of his works, is a tour de force. It consists of six stories, each within the other. The stories are set within various times from the mid 1800’s to a distant, post-apocalyptic future. The novel comes to us as a diary, in letters, as a manuscript, as a film, as an orison and as oral storytelling. One very memorable character is a fabricant (i.e., clone) called Sonmi-451. Gentle and levelheaded, she comes to be worshipped as God for the people after the fall. Man’s inhumanity to man is the oft-repeated theme of this fascinating and at times maddening novel. Mitchell says Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler was inspiration for this novel. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet is Mitchell’s latest epic. Set in 1799 in Imperial Japan, the eponymous Jacob has five years to make his fortune so he can marry his wealthy fiancée back in Holland. He is stationed on Dejima, an artificial island created as a trading post in Nagasaki Harbor. Jacob has been charged with rooting out corruption at the trading post, for his employer, the Dutch East Indies Company. Meanwhile he becomes enamoured with an intriguing local woman. Adventure, romance, drama, melodrama and history converge in this masterfully written and compelling tale. Ghostwritten is Mitchell’s cleverly titled, highly acclaimed first book. It consists of nine different, yet interconnected tales set all over the globe, each with its own narrator and distinctive style. Together, the stories address the idea of the global village. Locales include Japan, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Mongolia, USA, Ireland and Britain. The wonderfully drawn

characters run the gamut: a cult member, a corrupt lawyer, a jazz aficionado, an art thief, a New York DJ — these characters make for an enjoyable read. Number9dream, Mitchell’s intricately plotted second novel is set in Tokyo and is inspired by Mitchell’s eight years in Japan. Twenty-year-old Eiji Miyake comes to Tokyo from rural Japan, haunted by the ghost of his twin sister. He is on a quest to discover who their father is. He gets mixed up with the Japanese Mafia, who may have the answer, but can he hang in long enough to find out what it is? This novel has

EDITION

heavy-hitting characters (in more ways than one), a killer plot and it pays homage to the Beatles (as the title suggests). Black Swan Green, is smaller and simpler than the other titles, but no less enjoyable. This semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story, takes place in the 1980’s. It is set in Black Swan Green, a small village in Worcestershire and it tells the tale of Jason Taylor. The down home subject matter may not sound as interesting as the other books, but Jason’s evocative narration holds the reader fast. At times funny, it is reminiscent of the Adrian Mole books,

but goes far beyond, as Jason deals with his stammer and considerable family problems. Both young people and adults will enjoy this well-written book. It might be a good starter novel for Mitchell, as it allows one to develop an appreciation for his excellent writing before moving on to his more complex works.

Jay Peters works at the Coquitlam Public Library.

Coquitlam came up short in the first-ever Healthy Community Challenge, which came to an end on Saturday with the city of Abbotsford being declared the clear victors. “Abby kind of blew it out of the water — they did a great job,” said Curtis Christopherson of Innovative Fitness, which organized the event. The three-month venture — in which participants lear ned how to get active and lead healthier lifestyles — encouraged B.C. residents to sign up online and take part alongside others from their communities. For each activity — which could range from simply remembering to eat breakfast to going for a walk after work — participants earned points, which were then added to a larger pool and sorted by the community, in an effort to find which city has gained the most points. In an effort to spur o n r e s i d e n t s, f o u r Lower Mainland mayors — Surrey’s Dianne Watts, Abbotsford’s Bruce Banman, Langley City’s Peter Fassbender and Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart — also took part. After points were tallied last week, Abbotsford scored 90,516 fitness points — more than double the 44,565 scored by

604-942-8554

Langley City residents. Sur rey, meanwhile, scored 30,040 and Coquitlam 12,140. “Mayor Banman really jumped in with b o t h f e e t a n d p ro vided a great example for his community,” Christopherson said. In total, more than 5,000 residents signed up, and Christopherson expects that number to grow next year. “We’re already talking with other communities who want to take part next time.”

Museum documents history of Chinese in PoMo By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody was the original Asian gateway for migrant labourers and now a museum exhibit will tell their story. The PoMo Station Museum is hosting the exhibit Chinese Le gacies: Building the Canadian Pacific Railway in B.C. so people understand the contributions of Chinese workers to Canadian history. Most people associate Chinese labourers with bigger cities, such as Vancouver, Victoria and even New Westminster, where large ghettos of mostly male migrant workers lived. B u t a c c o rd i n g t o museum manager Jim Millar, PoMo has a deep historical connection to the Chinese railway workers because it was the original terminus for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Thousands of workers came to the region by ship from China before travelling on to the construction sites at Kamloops Lake and Craigellachie, where the last spike

was pounded in 1885. The workers were recruited by Andrew Onderdonk, the main construction contractor for CP Rail but many fell ill with beriberi upon their arrival and were buried on the hillside in Port Moody. Later, though, their bodies were exhumed and returned to China for final burial. This unknown bit of history will be revealed to museum visitors, who will also learn how Chinese workers lived, worked and socialized. There’s even a diorama de picting a typical camp and artifacts such as clothing and games, with some of the pieces coming from the PoMo m u s e u m ’s ow n a rchives. “Many people don’t know about this part of Port Moody’s history,” said Millar. T h e e x h i b i t , c re ated by the Revelstoke Museum and Archive in partnership with the Revelstoke Railway Museum, recounts the difficulties that faced the some 15,000 Chinese workers between 1880 and 1885. It is estimated that between 600 and

2,200 workers lost their lives due to malnutrition, dangerous working conditions and diseases during this time. The workers were also discriminated against and were paid half the salary of Caucasian wo rke r s, a n d we re forced to do the most dangerous work. “The exhibit speaks to our national story and reco gniz es the countless contributions and sacrifices the

Chinese workers made for Canadian nation building,” Millar said. • To celebrate the arrival of this exhibit, the museum will be hosting weekly family days every Sunday in July and August, starting on Canada Day, July 1. The museum is located at 2734 Murray St., Port Moody B.C. For more information, visit por tmoodymuseum.org. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

STOP SUMMER LEARNING LOSS Donâ€™t let your child fall behind this summer. The summer brain drain means that without intervention, the achievement gap between successful and struggling students widens in the summer. Students who are already struggling or have learning challenges are at the most risk. While studies have shown students lose 2.6 months of math learning, literacy is the most affected by the summer break in learning. In contrast, if students focus on developing their skills over the summer months they can actually gain ground and feel more conďŹ dent when they go back in September.

End of a season for young actors

n a perfectly g re y eve n i n g , e i g h t b o i s t e rous teens suited up in costume to practice scenes from an adaptation of The Inspector General, a 19th century Russian play written by Nikolai Gogol. The young thespians have been working on the comedy for months — the culmination of a new course for Coquitlam’s Place des Arts, called Next Stage Production, that started last fall. Taught by James O’Shea and Damon Jang, a Capilano University student in Canada’s first-ever bachelor of performing arts program, Next Stage focuses on live perfor-

mance and teaches the elements of movement, improvisation and voice. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Jang said during a rehearsal in Studio A at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam last week. “I think the students get a lot out of it. I know, certainly, I do. We learn from each other.” • Their year-end performance will be held Saturday, June 23 at 1 p.m. at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam). There is no charge for admission. Call 604-664-1636. Go to tricitynews.com to see a one-minute video with students Megan Hands and Coooper Cholowski. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Bailey Alexis has many â€œlikesâ€? around the world. The 17-year-old Coquitlam resident, who recently released her debut EP titled Rescue Me, counts fans as far away as Mexico, Pakistan, Italy, the UK, Egypt, India, Chile, Greece and Trinidad and Tobago. On her Facebook page, Bailey Alexis Music, where the soon-to-be Centennial secondary graduate has posted publicity photos and videos of herself, they offer her words of encouragement and she, in return, thanks them for the support. So far, she has nearly 4,300 â€œlikesâ€? â€” not bad for someone who is predominately promoting herself Ă la Justin Bieber, that is, through social media. Alexis has hard copies of her EP but itâ€™s her downloadable music â€” via CDbaby, DMDS, iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Zune, to name a few â€” that makes her songs readily accessible. Alexis admits to being surprised by the pace of her success through Facebook and the online Jango Radio; in one week, her Facebook fans quadrupled. â€œIt all happened so fast,â€? she said from her home in April. â€œIt kind of took me off guard.â€? Alexis points to her step-father, Amit Das â€” her manager and the EPâ€™s executive producer â€” for putting her career on track in the digital world. Das, who has an IT background, said it took a lot of research â€œand seeing what everybody else was doing to figure it out. We did some Facebook and Google advertising to get the word out, too.â€? But though it may have been a learning curve â€” â€œand a large investment for us,â€? chipped in her mother, Cheryl Das â€” itâ€™s Alexisâ€™ natural talent, not only as a singer but also as a songwriter, that made organizing her lifelong ambition easy. Alexis (her real name is Bailey Rathbone) discovered her passion several years back while singing karaoke at an equestrian ranch in Maple Ridge. â€œI thought, â€˜This is what I want to do for the rest of my life,â€™â€? she recalls.

And she honed her performance skills at charity and community events, including at the Terry Fox Run in Coquitlam.

Two examples of Tony Chu and Angela Gooliaff’s artwork, now up at the Port Moody Arts Centre until July 8. The pair also has pieces on show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam until Aug. 25.

Two TC shows for duo By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The drawings of fellow Emily Carr University graduates Tony Chu and Angela Gooliaff are now on display at two Tri-City art galleries. Their work, under the title Drawing Dialogues, is being shown at the Port Moody Arts Centre until July 8 alongside exhibits by photographers Walter Coates and Sarah Ronald, and James Kemp, a ceramic artist. And, at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre, the pair has teamed up for Drawing: Expanded Medium, which runs until Aug. 25, and also features pieces by Ilze Bebris, Jay Hanscom, Fae Logie, Paulo Majano, Darcy Mann and Vjeko Sager. Having two exhibits so close together and at the same time “was not intentional,” said Gooliaff, a Vancouver resident, “but it’s a happy accident.” For the PoMo show, Chu had applied a few years back but pulled out. Recently, “we were driving through there and I just loved it,” Gooliaff said. “I said to Tony, ‘Let’s apply again.’ I really adore Port Moody. It’s so quaint and I was really pleased we got accepted.” In Evergreen’s case, Gooliaff had

submitted her work in 2010 when Ellen van Eijnsbergen was the visual arts program manager. After she left, her successor, Astrid Heyerdahl, contacted Gooliaff to see if she and Chu wanted to be in a group show she was curating about drawing. The two displays come from different perspectives, Gooliaff stressed. In Port Moody, there’s a focus on storytelling while the Evergreen exhibit zeros in on the science of drawing. “It’s more about what drawing can be and how you interact with it. It’s definitely more physical,” she said. As for her friendship with Chu, a Richmond resident, Gooliaff said they inspire each other artistically. It was Chu who pushed her to return to her craft in 2008, after a two-year break following Emily Carr; Gooliaff did and, in 2009, attended the Banff Centre, a world-renowned arts, cultural and educational institution. Since then, Gooliaff has exhibited her biological subjects regularly, including last year at Place des Arts in Coquitlam; this year, she will have three shows in Toronto — two of them in a group format. “I owe a lot to him,” she said of Chu. “It’s a great partnership that we have.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

“This music is me and I don’t feel that I can’t feel like this because because I’m 17,” she said. “I feel like my music is intelligent. It’s not mainstream.

Signed guitar to be auctioned at Crossroads gala A guitar signed by the Canadian Tenors and other famous musicians will be up for auction at this November’s Treasures of Christmas gala to benefit Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody.

Adanacs’ goalie Rose just short of shutout By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Shutouts seldom happen in lacrosse. Nick Rose and the Coquitlam Adanacs dar n near nabbed one Saturday. A Mike Berekoff goal six minutes into the third period was all the scoring the New Westminster Salmonbellies could muster as the Adanacs shackled the Royal City visitors 5-1 in a Western Lacrosse Association battle at Poirier Sports Complex. “It would have been nice to get the goose-egg but that wasn’t really where my head was at,” said the 24-year-old Rose, who blocked 38 shots to secure the victory and collect first-star honours. “Just getting the win was foremost on my mind, especially battling a team like New West.” The win improved the Adanacs to 2-4, while the ’Bellies slipped to 3-3. “It was very strange to beat the Salmonbellies 5-1, all right,” said A’s general manager Randy Delmonico. “I don’t recall a score like that in all my years hanging around this game. You see that type of score in hockey, or in soccer or baseball, but not very often in lacrosse. “Nick’s still probably standing on his head at home right now,” Delmonico added with a chuckle. The last shutout on the Sr. ‘A’ circuit occurred on May 23, 1993 when Bob

“It would have nice to get the goose-egg but that wasn’t really where my head was at.” Nick Rose Heyes and the Victoria Shamrocks blanked the Burnaby Lakers, 10-0. Rose himself actually recorded one during the 2008 Ontario Junior ‘A’ league playoffs, when he back-stopped the Orangeville Northmen to a 6-0 triumph over the Awkwesane Jr. Indians. “I just got lucky, really,” recalled Rose, who was beaten by Berekoff with the A’s up 5-0 and ’Bellies goalie Tyler Richards yanked for an extra attacker. “You need a lot of luck to get a shutout in lacrosse. They [Jr. Indians] hit a couple goalposts and one time the ball was right on the goal line. It just was meant to be, I guess.” Coupled with falling 10-6 to the host Victoria Shamrocks last Wednesday, the Adanacs have now allowed only 39 goals in their six outings thus far this campaign. Scoring continues to pose a problem for the team that finished last in the seven-team loop last season, however, as it has managed only 35 to date. see KILPATRICK, page 39

“I think we have been playing better offensively of late,” Rose said. “I think we’re just snake-bitten right now. We’re throwing a lot of shots at the net, they just aren’t dropping right now. Even though we only got five goals [Saturday], they were timely ones.” Dane Dobbie and Daryl Veltman bagged a goal and one assist apiece for Coquitlam, who bolted to a 3-0 first-period lead and went ahead 4-0 on Ryan

They then tangle with the winless Maple Ridge Burrards on Saturday at Poirier, 7 p.m.

RAG LINE: Delmonico added some offensive punch to his line-up when he inked ex-Jr. Adanacs’ standout Kelly Kilpatrick, who was a free agent after being released by the Thunder. Kilpatrick was chosen by Langley in the second round (13th overall) of the 2009 WLA draft but injuries since hampered his status with the Thunder. “He’s a great athlete and has a cannon for a shot when he’s on,” Delmonico said of Kilpatrick, who was held pointless in his A’s debut Saturday.

Items from the National Lacrosse League’s Washington Stealth and the Colorado Mammoth were raffled off, with proceeds going to a scholarship fund to aid male or female lacrosse players in their pursuit of post-secondary education in memory of Trevor Wingrove, who played all his minor lacrosse in Coquitlam and went on to star with the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs and, later, the Coquitlam Adanacs of the Western Lacrosse Association. Also a high-ranking city manager with the city of Coquitlam, Wingrove passed away after a courageous battle with cancer almost two years ago.

PoCo Saints captured the hotly contested 12-team Midget division as Tri-City teams dominated the Trevor Wing rove Memorial minor lacrosse tournament last weekend at Poirier Sports Complex. The Mike Kuppancoached Saints beat the Ridge Meadows Burrards in the final, as 24 teams featuring 500 participants from as far as Calgary and Vancouver Island gathered to compete in three divisions at the 28-year tournament, hosted by the Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse Association and formerly dubbed the Dogwood tournament. In the Midget (1516) consolation final, the New Westminster Salmonbellies edged the Coquitlam Adanacs. The Adanacs proved
