Vancouver Police Department investigators are looking for a black Nissan Murano in connection with their inquiry into the murder last month of Bin Toor in the Port Moody recreation complex parking lot.

Witnesses wanted in shooting Vehicle sought in PM gangland slaying inquiry By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Police are looking for more witnesses to the brazen shooting in the parking lot of the Port Moody recreation centre last month that left a Surrey man dead. Gurbinder Singh “Bin” Toor was gunned down as he was getting out of his vehicle to play a ball hockey game at the PoMo rec centre the evening of May 30. He later died in hospital. Toor, who reportedly had ties to the Dhak/ Duhre gang, was known to the police. The Vancouver Police

Department homicide unit, which is investigating the shooting, has posted a notice at city hall asking for information on a vehicle of interest — a late-model black Nissan Murano. “Members from the Vancouver Police homicide unit went back to the scene canvassing for more witnesses,” said VPD spokesperson Const. Brian Montague. There is no licence plate infor mation for the Nissan, which Montague said is a vehicle of interest, not necessarily the suspect vehicle. Anyone with information is asked to call VPD at 604-717-2500 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. spayne@tricitynews.com

Coq. OKs cop deal JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

To market, to market in PoCo Gurmeet Sandhu is the owner of Floralia at the Port Coquitlam Farmers Market, which has been operating during the summer in Leigh Square, behind city hall, since 2009, with mixed results. The final numbers are in from last year and while average attendance is up at the weekly Thursday markets, total sales are down (there are also Coquitlam Farmers Markets on Fridays and Sundays). Market organizers say it can take some time for a market to establish itself and weather also plays a role. See article on page A3.

Weather woes for PoCo market By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Sales are down but attendance was up last year at the Port Coquitlam Far mers Market, according to figures recently released by the society that runs the event. Eileen Dwillies, a market manager in Port Coquitlam, said operators and vendors are happy with the event, and believe there is still potential to grow. “It usually takes five or six years before people get into the habit of going,” she said (the PoCo market has been running since 2009). “There are a lot of people that still don’t know and haven’t heard about it. The city told us that there are 20,000 people living in the downtown area so there is a lot of potential.” Last year, vendors recorded $102,450 in sales, down from $116,651 in 2010. Average attendance, however, increased more than 25% to 882 people, up from 602 in 2010. In 2009, the first year the market was open, average attendance was 925, with total sales approaching $70,000. Dwillies said the numbers show that many people are enjoying the market, even though they may not be purchasing anything. She also added that weather can have a dramatic impact on sales and attendance. With a rainier spring season, Dwillies said 2012 has been off to a slow start. “There is a core group

Alcohol believed a factor in roll-over A Belcarra man was arrested last week after rolling his vehicle on Bedwell Bay Road. BC Ambulance paramedics and firefighters contacted the Port Moody Police shortly before 10 p.m. on June 12 to attend a roll-over

in the 2300-block of Bedwell Bay. Nobody was hurt but officers believed the driver, a 53-year-old man, was drunk. He was arrested and taken to the police department, where his breath samples were

analyzed at over three times the legal limit. It wasn’t the man’s first run-in with the PoMo Police. In May 2009, according to PMPD, the same officer arrested the same man after another alcohol-related

accident along the Ioco Road corridor. In that incident the man also blew over three times the legal limit and was later convicted. Const. Luke Van Winkel said given the man’s history, the police are serving the

man with notice they’ll be seeking greater punishment for the latest offence. The man’s name cannot be released because charges have not yet been approved by the Crown. spayne@tricitynews.com

James Lopert is being charged with two counts of robbery and one count of police pursuit in an incident that ended with a taxi cab crashing into a chain-link fence in Coquitlam early Friday morning.

Charged for robbery and police chase A Lower Mainland man is facing several charges after allegedly robbing a 7-Eleven in Coquitlam and running from police in a taxi cab that eventually crashed into a fence. The incident occurred shortly after 4 a.m. last Friday, June 15, when the suspect robbed the 7-Eleven on Guildford Way. Police said he left in a vehicle but eventually jumped in a taxi cab. When the cab missed the turn on Kingsway Avenue heading south on Westwood Street, the vehicle crashed into the fence of a townhouse complex. A witness said the suspect tried to run away but was quickly caught by police. C o q u i t l a m RC M P Const. Michelle Luca would not confirm the suspect was the person driving the cab.

2 guards assaulted in PoCo jail By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Village of Anmore

Purdy said some of the overcrowding issues could be alleviated if the jail switched to a rotational lockdown. That would mean letting out half of the inmates at a time while the other half remained locked up.

Currently, there are 60 inmates for every staff person. If a rotational lockup system were in place, that would reduce the number to 30 inmates per corrections officer, he said. A spokesperson for

Two corrections officers at North Fraser Pre-trial Centre in Port Coquitlam are recovering after they were assaulted by inmates in two separate incidents last Friday. The first attack occurred shortly after 7 a.m. in the records and admissions section of the jail when an inmate punched a female staff member in the side of the head. She was treated by prison health care staff and was later able to return to work. Another attack occurred several hours later in a different section of the jail. A male corrections officer was conducting an inmate count on one of the tiers when an inmate came up behind him and punched the staff member in the face. The inmate was said to be a member of the Independent Soldiers, a violent street gang that has been associated with some of the ongoing gun violence in the

Lower Mainland in recent years. The corrections officer was taken to hospital but the extent of his injuries are still unknown, according to Dean Purdy, the chair of the B.C. Government Employees Union’s corrections component. “They are conducting a CAT scan on him,” he said. “They are unable to determine whether he has a broken orbital bone due to the severe swelling.” Purdy blames overcrowding for a high level of tension that he said is fuelling inmateon-staff violence. NFPC was originally built to house 300 inmates but last Friday he said the count was closer to 550. There have been 16 assaults so far this year and Purdy believes the numbers could increase in the summer, a time when the jails typically become even more overcrowded. “The tension is high right now,” he said. “We will see more violence. Inmate violence isn’t going away.”

‘Under duress’ continued from front page

And a few councillors said they would welcome the chance to study the possibility of forming a regional police force with neighbouring municipalities. The debate about whether to sign the agreement has been a hot topic in recent months, with many B.C. municipalities complaining about the negotiation process and, in particular, the unresolved price tag for the new E-Division headquarters in Surrey. Unsigned cities — including Port Coquitlam, which shares a detachment with Coquitlam — twice forced the provincial gover nment to extend the deadline after criticizing senior officials about the lack of information available as they finalize their annual budgets. B.C. Attorney General Shirley Bond has said she won’t be pushing the deadline past June 30 and municipalities that don’t agree to the

contract will effectively be giving notice they plan to sever ties with the federal police force. To date, 10 B.C. cities remain as hold-outs. Despite the unanswered questions — and some Coquitlam councillors saying they were signing “under duress” — council voted 8-1 in favour of signing the contract, with many pointing to the city’s recent Ipsos-Reid citizen survey, which shows a 92% satisfaction rate with the local RCMP. Coun. Terry O’Neill said residents would be confused if council didn’t agree to the new deal, given the latest poll results. “We would have a disturbed and upset electorate,” he said. Other supporters on council also cited the loss of the 10% federal

subsidy as being a reason to continue. “We get good bang for the buck,” Coun. Linda Reimer said, adding a city police department — as in neighbouring Port Moody — would swell property taxes. Still, Coun. Lou Sekora, the sole councillor to vote against the deal, said he likes PoMo Police’s motto of “no call too small.” Many times, he argued, Coquitlam RCMP don’t respond to requests for help such as break-andenters in the Pacific Reach business park. But without the federal cash and resources, the local detachment would be “bankrupt” after major investigations like the Robert Pickton serial murder case in PoCo, Mayor Richard Stewart countered.

Cop plan Just hours before Coquitlam city council signed the new RCMP deal, local Mounties rolled out their three-year strategic plan. The 2012-’15 plan was prepared over the past year — and implemented April 1 — with the help of two external research consultants. As well, officials worked with stakeholder groups to formulate “opportunities and challenges” over the next three years. The detachment’s challenges include: new federal legislation and regulatory policy changes (e.g., Taser use); increasing community growth and demographics; and the changing nature of policing and safety (e.g., homelessness).

Plehanov back in court www.tricitynews.com

Trial on for two days this week, two more in July By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The trial of a former Coquitlam substitute teacher accused of inappropriately touching his students continues this week following a long recess. Aleksandr Plehanov is facing five charges of sexual interference and five charges of sexual assault involving girls who were aged seven and eight at the time of the alleged incidents, which date back to January 2008. He is also facing a charge of criminal harassment in relation to a June 2010 incident, when he was alleged to have been spotted sitting in his car outside one of the girl’s homes. Plehanov’s trial in Port Coquitlam provincial court, originally scheduled for two weeks in January, was extended to an additional day in February. That was still not enough time, however, and the trial was extended to two days this week (Thursday and Friday), as well as July 3 and 4. The prosecution is expected to call one more witness on Thursday. At the beginning of Plehanov’s trial, Crown c o u n s e l We n dy Va n

CTV NEWS FILE PHOTO

Former Coquitlam substitute teacher Aleksandr Plehanov. Tongeren Harvey stated that incidents of inappropriate touching started soon after he started substitute teaching in School District 43 in 2007. Harvey noted there were incidents that took place in at least three elementary schools that prompted warnings from fellow teachers and/ or principals about the touching of students but none of those incidents at Eagle Ridge, Hazel Trembath and Rochester elementary schools were reported to the police. A student who was in Grade 3 at Eagle Ridge elementary in January 2008 said Mr. P asked her to sit in his lap; she also reported he wrapped his arms around her waist, touched her chest and lower pelvic area. She told another teacher, Ricardo Botero, about the incident and he reported it to principal Sue Reynolds. Reynolds later

spoke to Plehanov about it but Botero testified that the following day he saw a girl sitting on Plehanov’s lap. In October 2009, Plehanov was substituting at Bramblewood elementary when, according to a Grade 2 girl, she got to be his “special helper” for the day. She also reported sitting on Plehanov’s lap and said she thought it was “weird” when he rubbed her tummy underneath her shirt and under the waistline of her pants. The girl reported the alleged incident to her mother, who informed Bramblewood principal Brenda Walker. Led by School District 43’s director of human resources, Jamie Ross, the board investigated Plehanov’s behaviour by interviewing several children, some of whom were also interviewed by a child psychologist. The investigation resulted in a recommended finding of misconduct in January 2010. Plehanov met with a psychologist once to work on his “boundary issues” and he met with a co-ordinator up to three times to discuss his classroom management issues. The results of the investigation were also reported to the B.C. College of Teachers but not to the police, and Plehanov was allowed to keep teaching. On March 10, 2010,

three girls in the same Grade 2/3 split class at Glen elementary were alle gedly touched by Plehanov. Two of them testified that Plehanov had rubbed their bottoms and pelvic area while the third said he had touched her shoulder and rubbed her bottom while checking her math work. All of the girls who have testified described Mr. P as being a “fun” teacher who let the students play games for much of the day. Fellow teachers, including those for whom he substituted, reported chaotic classrooms that were left in disarray upon their return. The parents of one of the Glen elementary girls contacted Coquitlam RCMP about the allegations and Plehanov was arrested on March 18. Defence lawyer Lisa Jean Helps has suggested throughout the trial that Plehanov had “disastrous” classroom management skills and misunderstood the boundaries between teachers and students. She has also argued that conversations among the alleged victims and their friends, as well as between their parents, have influenced the matter. “It is my position that a lot of this is parentdriven,” Helps said on the second day of trial. The trial continues. spayne@tricitynews.com

PoCo on alert for high river levels By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

T he city of Por t Coquitlam has begun making preparations for a potential flood, after a high stream flow advisory was issued Monday for the Fraser River. Gord Voncina, the city’s operations manager, said while river levels are higher than usual, so far, the water appears to be under control. Still, rainy weather such as that experienced in the Lower Mainland o n S at u rd ay c o u l d quickly change the situation and officials are closely monitoring dikes and water levels. “There is always the potential,” Voncina said. “It is very difficult to predict. We closely monitor all the information that comes from the province and what happens through the weather service.” City staff have also

IN QUOTES

“We closely monitor all the information that comes from the province and what happens through the weather service.” Gord Voncina, PoCo operations manager visited various parts of the city’s waterfront in order to make visual inspections of the dikes and water levels, he said. H e av y r a i n s o n Saturday increased pressure on the Lower Mainland’s dike system, which was already experiencing issues due to the rapid snow melt that has been occurring over the last few days. According to a press release from the city, the Fraser River is expected to reach peak levels by late Thursday or Friday. This means river levels will rise rapidly but major flooding is not expected. The Coquitlam and

Pitt rivers could also see their water levels rise. In 2007, the city used grants from the provincial government to upgrade many of the dikes in the municipality, raising them to approximately 5.5 m high. People who walk along the dikes are warned to use extreme caution as water levels are higher than usual and the current is moving fast. • Residents and businesses are encouraged to visitportcoquitlam.ca/ flood for up-to-date information on the Fraser River water levels. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

PoCo can speak up on transportation Feedback sought on master plan until June 29 By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A new online survey will give Port Coquitlam residents the opportunity to tell the city how it should spend its trans-

portation dollars. Feedback on PoCo’s Master Transportation Plan can be submitted until June 29, input that will shape the document that will guide future decisions on pedestrian, bicycle, transit and road infrastructure. The city began to update its MTP last year to replace the existing plan, which was devel-

oped in 2000. The final document will be presented to council this fall. So far, the draft concepts envision a shift towards more sustainable modes of transportation, including walking, cycling and carpooling. The new document will outline how much is invested in each mode and the priorities for

specific transportation improvements. Recently, the city looked at preliminary designs for a proposed pedestrian and bike bath along Kingsway Avenue from Wilson to Broadway. The online survey can be found at www.portcoquitlam.ca/mtp until June 29.

LANE CHANGES

Lanes along Highway 1 between the Cape Horn Interchange and the Port Mann Bridge will be relocated 30 m north starting this week. The work will be done in two phases, with westbound lanes being moved over the next few days, followed by the movement of eastbound lanes in two weeks. The speed limit in the area will be 80 km/h and motorists are asked to use extreme caution. For more information call 1-866-999-PMH1 or go to www.pmh1project.com.

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

S

hould people who can afford to pay higher prices for new electric vehicles get their auto payments and electric fuel subsidized? That is the question taxpayers should be asking in the wake of new developments in the creation and installation of electric charger stations. Metro Vancouver Parks and the city of Port Moody are among the early adopters of the technology. They will be paying at least part of the capital cost of these charger stations —at taxpayers’ expense — to encourage the use of electric vehicle technology. While it’s important to consider alternatives to gaspowered vehicles that create climate-changing greenhouse gases, it’s doubtful taxpayer-subsidized fuelling stations will make that much difference. For one, purchasing a new car is a costly investment and many people will balk at the higher cost of electric vehicles — and those who buy will be quite able to charge at home. As well, there are limited options available and only six cars are eligible for the full $5,000 point-of-sale incentive offered by the B.C. government. Many people in the market for a new car are opting to purchase pre-owned vehicles or smaller gas-powered vehicles to keep costs down. They don’t have the cash to shell out more for battery-powered cars that many fear are too new and too experimental. And while most drivers would like to do more to help the environment, it’s only those who can most afford the new technology who are likely to purchase an electric vehicle as a curiosity or as a second or third car. Should everyone else, then, subsidize their purchase and electric fuel? The regional district plans to spend $64,000 setting up six to eight stations where electric vehicles can be plugged in while their owners enjoy a park visit; about half of that will be covered by the province’s $2.74 million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund. In Port Moody, the city will pay about $16,000 for its share of four charger stations and $2,500 annually in operating costs. In supporting the initiative, politicians argue that making electric vehicles more affordable and convenient will encourage their use. At best, that’s wishful thinking. At worst, it’s a subsidy for the few who can afford to pay for their own fuel.

Making it easier for B.C. people to choose work BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he B.C. government has taken some modest steps to tighten up the province’s income assistance system, and to encourage people to work when they are able to. With Premier Christy Clark swooping in to take credit, Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux unveiled changes that included fixing the worst mistake in BC Liberal policy. Cadieux acknowledged that B.C. was the only province that clawed back all earnings from employable welfare recipients and she announced that from now on, those people will be able to earn up to $200 a month without penalty; as well, the exemption for disabled people is increased from $500 to $800 a month. Another important change is requiring welfare recipients to file income tax returns. People can now do temporary work when it

comes along, report the income and take advantage of the various tax credits that come from participating in society instead of just living off it. Any experience earning money is valuable experience. With baby boomers starting to retire in big numbers, the expected labour shortage has begun across western Canada. And yet, increasing numbers of foreign workers are coming in to do farm and other work while many young people are unemployed. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon took note of this during his budget preparations. Increasing numbers of young, employable people were applying for welfare in southern B.C. while jobs go begging in the booming northeast. Falcon mused about setting up a program to provide training and plane fare for these people, an idea quickly dubbed “Welfare Air.” Another effort to get young people working is Jobfest, a rock-themed road show currently touring northern B.C. towns. It attracts young people with music and souvenirs like drumsticks and guitar picks, and

TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

offers them skills assessment using sexy iPad apps and graphics that depict carpentry as cool. If Jobfest and Welfare Air sound a bit desperate, it’s because they are. They illustrate our society’s problem: We have a public school system where many students pass whether they do the work or not. The culture assumes self-esteem is more important than achievement. The teachers’ union constantly sets an example that the way to get what you want is to stamp your feet and demand it from government. What do we expect young people to learn? And how easy is it for B.C. to slip into a Greece-like tailspin, where a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work? Old-timers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates. They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employable people to stay on welfare. After

a couple of years of this wealth redistribution, 10% of the B.C. population was on welfare, with more piling on every day. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed out at “cheats, deadbeats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later, the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month. Today, it stands at $610 and the NDP looks poised to repeat history. Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long publicity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras trailing behind. Brar would have been better off if Welfare Air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS

PoMo, stick to city business The Editor, Re. “More consultation needed from industry, says Royer” (The Tri-City News, June 15). The June 15 article says motions are coming forward at Port Moody council seeking to have the province force railways to tell everyone near their rail line what goods they carry, to have Port Moody council oppose the Enbridge Pipeline and to have BC Hydro offer smart meter opt-out options to Port Moody residents. Council has already faced a demand from Coun. Zöe Royer to force Port Moody businesses to consult residents — and it would appear saner heads prevailed on this one. I have some questions. First, did I miss something in the November 2011 civic election campaign in

Port Moody? I cannot bring to mind anything said by any candidate, including Coun. Rick Glumac (whose election seems to have, in his mind at least, given him enormous powers over everyone and everything), that indicated such steps would be pursued if the candidate was elected to council. I d o n’ t re c a l l t h e Enbridge pipeline being an issue. I don’t recall the contents of rail shipments being an issue. Nor do I recall any candidate, including Coun. Royer, campaigning on a platform that would involve hamstringing legitimate, responsible businesses in our city and, thus, limiting their ability to grow, increase employment and the tax base. I don’t recall, either, any candidate, including Coun. Rosemary Small,

whose qualifications as a scientific expert in these things are not clear to me, campaigning on opposition to smart meters. These issues are way outside the control of Port Moody council, at least as I understand our political system. And since none of these issues appear to have been on the agenda in the campaign, how can this council now approve motions that imply Port Moody voters gave it a mandate to take these positions on behalf of us taxpayers? I suggest that you cannot do so. Council members are all entitled to express their individual opinions on any subject. But don’t pass a motion and then claim it reflects the view of our entire community when you’ve neither sought nor been given a

mandate to do so. Councillors Royer and Glumac are, in my view, wasting time and money trying to be czars of the world rather than focusing on city business, including keeping my property taxes under control. I’ve lived in Port Moody for 50 years and have voluntarily contributed a lot of my time and money to many causes designed to improve life in this city, and I have never seen the nonsense at council that is taking place now, largely at the hands of the above mentioned councillors. I suggest it is time all members of council take a responsible approach to the jobs they were elected to do: deliver civic services at the most reasonable cost to taxpayers. James Peacock, Port Moody

Yes, save Riverview The Editor, Re. “Endangered status sought,” (The Tri-City News, June 13). I am thankful and pleased Coquitlam councillors chose unanimously to write the letter nominating Riverview Hospital and grounds for the Heritage Canada Foundation’s top 10 endangered status. None of the sites on last year’s list was west of the Rockies and in our community there is this incredible site, with a fascinating history of mental patient care from 1913. Research, teaching, housing and treatment facilities for those with mental health issues are some possible future ways of using these grounds. To break up the site and sell off parts for market housing would take away much of the spirit and history of the place . Jennifer Madoc-Jones, Coquitlam

Grad-ffiti The Editor, On the mor ning of Friday, June 15, I drove past a Tri-City high school on the way to work. I could not believe the volume of petty vandalism and graffiti saying “Grad 2012.” There is clear line between a grad prank and destroying your community. These are the same values and behaviours that led to the Stanley Cup riot. I really hope charges end up getting laid. In a time when public funds are in short supply, it’s tough to see taxpayers getting stuck with a bill for cleanup. Chris Carter, Coquitlam

Cooper parked in the 500-block of W. Georgia Street, before attempting to light a couch on fire. Later that night, he is alleged to have been seen committing a break-and-enter at a drug store. In April, a young offender from Coquitlam was charged with participating in a riot and mischief while another was charged with participating in a riot and break and enter. The two cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Ryan Dickinson, another Coquitlam resident who was on probation at the time of the riot, received a 17month jail sentence for his part in the events that took place after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Vancouver Police Department has recommended 674 criminal charges against 225 suspected rioters. So far 23 people have pleaded guilty. spayne@tricitynews.com – with files from Gary McKenna

Ten more accused rioters now charged Ten more Metro Vancouver residents have been charged with participating in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver. There are now a total of 114 accused rioters facing charges from the night of mayhem when cars were flipped and torched and stores were looted. Two Surrey residents face charges — 20-year-old Victor Varela and a 17-year-old youth. Two more youths aged 15 and 17 from Delta are also charged, along with a 16-year-old and 17-year-old from Vancouver. Prosecutors also charged 18-year-old Joshua Celaje of Langley, 24-year-old Kathleen Brownell of Richmond, 18-year-old Rachel Chong of Vancouver and 23-year-old Chase Cooper of North Vancouver.

High water surges in Fraser River By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

A flood warning was issued for the Fraser River from Quesnel to the Fraser Canyon Monday as a weekend of heavy rain brought water levels near a 50-year high. “River levels are expected to be at a flood stage downstream of Prince George through to the Fraser Canyon, starting on Tuesday or Wednesday through to T hursday or Friday,” the B.C. River Forecast Centre said in a bulletin issued Monday. River forecasters estimated the peak level for South Fort George will reach 10.3 to 10.8 metres. The last large flood was 1972, when the South Fort George

A high stream flow advisory was issued Sunday for the Lower Fraser River, with heavy flows measured at Hope and Mission. Flows are forecast to reach 11,500 to 13,000 cubic metres per second at Hope by late Thursday or Friday. Heavy rainfall across the headwaters of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers prompted the centre to extend its earlier upper Fraser River flood warning, issued for Prince George and upstream. Rainfall along the Fraser and its tributaries totalled 30 to 75 mm in 72 hours, adding to rapid snowmelt. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

An arts centre a century in the making The former Appleyard residence, a Port Moody heritage home most recently used as a pizza restaurant, was purchased by the provincial government and donated to the city of Port Moody last month. Later this month, it will be moved to Kyle Street, close to the Port Moody Arts Centre. Below is some family history of the home...

By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Geoff Goodship’s grandmother didn’t much like the house that was built for her at 2717 Clarke St. in Port Moody. She came from a wealthy family in England, where she’d grown up in a sprawling home complete with servants. Minny later married Frederick Appleyard and moved to B.C., where he worked as a millwright and manager at the sawmill that provided the first-grade, knotless cedar that went into building the home, which was completed in 1908. (Goodship’s family history differs from the information provided by the city, which has Appleyard purchasing the home from its first owner sometime after 1910.) “My grandmother was not allowed to get involved in the design of the house at all; she was only allowed to see it when they moved in,” Goodship recalled. “She was quite cross about this.” The design, Minny complained, was not made for a woman with children: it had a large kitchen and a formal dining room but no family eating area. “They were very much deeply in love and they spent a long, happy married life but it was very rough compared to how she’d grown up,” Goodship said of his grandmother. “Her house was filled with servants, whereas my grandfather... may have come from the stable.” The Appleyards would later give the home to their daughter — who by the mid-1930s had five children with her husband, Lawrence Goodship — and then moved in to a small brown bungalow they’d built next door. Geoff Goodship was born in 1932, the last of three girls and two boys, and grew up in the iconic Appleyard house. He remembers walking up a trail, past the electric sub-station on the corner and across the main drag to get to school. He also used to take walks with his grandfather, who served as a Port Moody alderman in 1917 and 1919. Appleyard also put in a stint as a school trustee. “He had lost two fingers on his

right hand in a shingle mill incident, so all he could offer me was two fingers to hold on to,” Goodship said of his grandfather. “He was a very kind man.” And while his grandma was never fond of the Edwardianstyle home, which was originally an off-white with green window trim, Goodship, who now lives in Campbell River, has fond memories of it. As a kid, he could often be found outside on the covered porch, which proved an ideal spot for riding his bicycle or playing with friends on a rainy day. “And I think I liked the bathtub, which was upstairs in the bathroom,” he said. “I used to think it was a great big bathroom until I visited the house recently — it’s actually incredibly small.” Goodship also remembers the front stairs, made of solid fir, and that he slept in each of the bedrooms. “As more kids moved away, I finally got a bed to myself,” he joked. At some point Goodship’s father, the city’s postmaster from 1943 to 1956, built an addition on to the home to make it more functional for a family of seven, with an entry hall, extra bathroom and a breakfast nook for casual dining. Fast forward to 2005, when Coquitlam businessman Fred Soofi purchased the home to save it from the wrecking ball and moved it across the street, where it became the Heritage House Pizza Co. Now, it’s being moved again, this time to make way for the Evergreen Line guideway. The Appleyard residence was purchased by the provincial government and donated to the city of Port Moody to help preserve its architectural heritage. The city will be moving it later this month to Kyle Street, where it will serve as part of the Port Moody Arts Centre hub, and is applying for a Heritage Canada Legacy Fund grant to help pay for any necessary renovations. An open house at the arts centre on June 28 will give the public a chance to comment on the rezoning and official community plan amendments needed to change the property at 126 Kyle St. from residential to arts and culture uses. The grant application must be submitted by the end of September. Goodship is thrilled that his childhood home will be preserved. “First of all, I’m pleased to see it wasn’t torn down,” he said. “It’s great to see it restored so beautifully. And I’m glad it’s going to be used by your arts community — and I plan to visit.” spayne@tricitynews.com

‘Skinny books’ for travel A GOOD READ Irene Jakse

N

ow that summer is on its way, we are all thinking about holidays — and holidays include more time for reading, right? Wonderful stacks of books to be lugged from home to cottage, or stuffed into suitcases for that plane or car trip. But there are other options: e-books and audiobooks. Forget about lugging around hardcovers and paperbacks. You could be using your e-reader, iPad or other tablet. This means packing all that great reading into one thin device — and no overweight luggage fees. Car trips can pass very pleasantly if you take your books in audio format and you can download several titles onto your MP3 player or iPhone. Worried about how much all these e-books and audiobooks cost? Don’t be. They are all free. Library-to-Go, the BC Libraries website for downloading free ebooks and audio books, is the place to visit. All you need is your library card. Go to http://downloads.bclibrary.ca (or go through your local library website), follow three easy steps and you are on your way. In the catalogue, you will find hundreds of titles available to borrow for free in both audio and e-book format. You will be able to borrow books for 21 days and there will never be any late fees. The books just expire on your device when the time is up. What kinds of books are available? Well, pretty much the same kind of thing you would find in your local library building. You will find bestsellers, mysteries, science fiction, romance, western, historical fiction. Non-fiction

BC Highland Games Visit “Scotland” for the day Haggis Hunting

Most people that have heard of Scotland have heard of Haggis. Some might know of the hearty dish eaten at Burns Suppers, some might have heard stories of how a Haggis is made, but little is known of the mythical creatures. Rarely seen and often misunderstood, Haggis have roamed the Scottish Highlands for centuries. They are quick and small and very skittish. Few humans ever get a chance to spot a Haggis. For years the Haggis have been spotted in and around Coquitlam. The species we see in Coquitlam are now known as the rare “North American Haggii”. Haggis are smart and know where to hide. So today at the BC Highland Games keep your eyes wide open…the Haggis are everywhere!! For more information see your Haggis Hunting experts at the Heavy Events tent.

HEATHER JOLLEY HIGHLAND DANCERS Successfully teaching in Coquitlam for over 35 years

NOW ACCEPTING STUDENTS FOR FALL CLASSES Certified and Skillful Instructors Classes at:

The Evergreen Cultural Centre (Pinetree Way, Coquitlam)

St. Laurence Church Hall We are pleased to announce that Brendan Meyer, star of the hit Disney XD/YTV television series “Mr. Young”, will be joining us to help spot the mythical wee Haggis as they hide throughout Percy Perry Stadium!! Come meet Brendan between 1-4pm at the Haggis Hunting Headquarters. He’ll give you your Official Haggis Hunting Certificate, sign some autographs and maybe even toss a caber!

Heavy Lifting

Highland Dance Competitions

The Heavy Events are among the oldest contested sports in the world encompassing a series of 9 feats of strength events performed over one or two days. Many of the events are derived from the Scottish military weapons of war, while others came directly from every day life. The modern day Olympics are directly descended from the Scottish Games, not from the ancient Greek tradition. The events can be divided into three categories: Distance, Height & Caber. In the Distance events (Stone, Weights for distance & Hammer) the athlete has three throws, only the best throw being counted. In the Height events (Weight for Height/Weight over Bar & Sheaf) the athlete has three attempts to clear the height of the bar. The Caber is an event of accuracy. The caber must be thrown end-over-end, with the caber falling away from the athlete.

Coquitlam dead last in fitness challenge By Nick Greenizan BLACK PRESS

The first-ever Healthy Community Challenge came to an end last week at an event held at the Fleetwood Community Centre in Surrey, with the city of Abbotsford being declared the clear victors (and Coquitlam the also-rans). “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 learned 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 may-

o r s — C o q u i t l a m ’s Richard Stewart, Surrey’s Dianne Watts, Abbotsford’s Br uce Banman and Langley City’s Peter Fassbender — also took part. After points were tallied last week, Abbotsford scored 90,516 fitness points, more than double the 44,565 scored by Langley City residents. Surrey, meanwhile, scored 30,040 and Coquitlam just 12,140.

“Mayor Banman really jumped in with both feet and provided 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.” ngreenizan@ peacearchnews.com

Helping hands

SHIFT 1-Act Festival 5 opens Thursday The SHIFT 1-Act Festival starts tomorrow (Thursday) at Port Moody’s Inlet Theatre, with 10 short plays being presented over three days. The fifth annaul event opens with The Allure, written and directed by Chad Kamer, and ends on Saturday night with Christopher Durang’s Funeral Parlor, directed by Riverside secondary drama teacher Nicole Roberge, a founding board member of the SHIFT society, a Port Moody-based company that aims to produce exciting and challenging live performance. Roberge, who has directed two previous plays for the festival including her one-woman play last year called

Come Cuddle Me, said she discovered her 10-minute piece “in a book of plays I’ve had forever but never read it because who wants to do a play about a funeral parlour?” she asked. “Well, I was wrong.” The play was one of eight productions that was presented last Thursday and Friday to sold-out audiences at The Cultch’s Vancity Culture Lab — the first time SHIFT has branched out to Vancouver. “We really want to collaborate as a part of Vancouver’s independent, thriving theatre scene,” Roberge said, “because we believe there’s room for all of us. We just need to be innovative and determined.”

The Port Moody line-up is as follows: • June 21: The Allure (directed by Chad Kamer); See Bob Run n (Shanda Walters); Improv in 1-Act;; and The Act (Julia Siedlanowska); • June 22: Doctor Pennyweather’s Office (Carolyn Nakagawa); An Inheritance (Jennica Grienke); and Nate and Troy: The Next Big Things (Nathan Kelly and Troy Cherkowski); • and June 23: Caught in the Act (Cherkowski); A Rope of Sand d (a presentation of workingclasstheatre/ IN THE FLESH); and d Funeral Parlor (Nicole Roberge). Asked why people would want

to see one-act plays, Roberge responded, “It’s theatre for the modern attention span.” “One-act plays are a little like short stories: They are a rich and immensely fascinating art form but we almost never see them unless grouped together in an anthology,” added Nick Sartore, SHIFT’s artistic managing director, in a press release. • The closing night will include a pre-show reception with Saint Street Grill appys; the post-show dessert is from Rubens Chocolate, with wine from Peller Estates. Tickets for SHIFT 5 are $18/$15. Call 778-3001852 or visit www.shiftarts.ca.

A recital to raise money for scholarships for advanced piano students in the TriCities will be held at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre. Yarilo Music Society is hosting the concert, called Students Helping Students, on Sunday at 7 p.m., with the aim of bringing in $2,000. The perfor mers are students of Anna Levy, a Port Moody resident and Yarilo co-founder. Richard He, who is now studying at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, will also play. Tickets at $25/$15 are available through www.yarilomusic.com.

Celtic music ‘poured out of me’ By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

R

oger Buston has a confession to make: He can’t say for sure if his family is Celtic at all. Nor does he believe his bandmates have roots in Scotland, Ireland or Wales, either. “All of us have come to Celtic music through the back door,” said the vocalist and guitarist for Three Row Barley, one of two acts performing this Saturday at the BC Highland Games in Coquitlam. “But we all decided we liked the music and we just chased it down.” Buston used to play rock and folk songs but, at the age of 39, he started writing Celtic material “and I realized there was something there for me,” he said. “Call it divine intervention.” Buston counted the Rankins and the late Stan Rogers as influences. “I listened to them and Celtic

music just came pouring out of me,” he recalled, “so I just took it from there.” He joined The Quenchers, a seven-piece Celtic band that “had a reputation for good songs and solid shows,” the frontman said. He was with the group for four years before forming Three Row Barley in 2001 — now composed of Brian Taylor (voice/bodhran), Chris Williscroft (bass/mandolin) and Matt Reimer (fiddle). Three Row Barley, which played the Highland Games in 2004, is strong in vocals and fiddle, he said. And for this weekend’s show, which will include special guest Lorne Warr, of Newfoundland (filling in for former member Dave Linney), Buston promises “a lot of favourites and good tunes” for the band’s two half-hour concerts at 1 and 3:30 p.m. Among the set list is Cod Liver Oil, Flower of Scotland, and Ballad of St. Anne’s Reel.

For the shorter performances, “it’s our job to get on with the program, hit it hard, get the audience’s attention and leave them happy,” Buston said. “It’s our 30-minute challenge.” He added, “We have some wonderful originals. We have great energy. We have a solid core. And we really love to do shows like this. Performing live is something we do really well.” • Three Row Barley — along with FiddleStix — will perform at Percy Percy Stadium (Town Centre Park) for the 130th annual BC Highland Games and Scottish Festival, which runs all day on Saturday and includes pipe bands, highland dancing, caber tossing, whiskey tasting, a car show and children’s activities. Tickets at the gate are $15/$10/$5. For more information on the entertainment or activities, visit www.bchighlandgames.com. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Pianist wins $20k scholarship Second installment in the Bright Young Things summer series, featuring graduating students who are pursuing careers in the performing or visual arts.

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Two years ago, Louise Hung and her sister, Iris, flew to Kenya to volunteer with Me to We to build a classroom. And the three-week experience changed the Coquitlam girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives forever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just because they were helping a community in need but because it forced them to communicate with people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realized how important music is,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made connections.â&#x20AC;? It shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been a surprise given the Gleneagle secondary student is a natural performer. She has been taking piano lessons since four, shortly after her family emigrated from Taiwan. Serious studies started in Grade 1 under Marjory Purdy, a Place des Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; instructor who teaches Conservatory Canada, which Hung said has a more diverse repertoire than the usual Royal Conservatory of Canada program. Since her first class 11 years ago, Hung said Purdy has been a major influence in her life, helping her to be more confident and sticking with projects until the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider her as part of my family now,â&#x20AC;? Hung said. The feeling is mutual. Over the past 80 classes a year, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for each and every one, she has given her best effort and I cannot recall her ever arriving unprepared,â&#x20AC;? Purdy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has always entered my studio with a smile and an eager attitude.â&#x20AC;? Hung has done well under her guidance, being awarded 10 Conservatory Canada medals of excellence for clinching the highest marks in B.C. for an exam: five for piano, three for theory and two for history. As well, Hung, 17, has earned the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lynda Rehder Kennedy medal of excellence for scoring the highest Grade 10 marks in Canada. Currently, she is completing her associate performerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diploma. Among her recent accolades is a $20,000 scholarship to attend the University of Victoria, where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrolled in the four-year bachelor of music stream. She hopes to complete her degree concur-

Hung comes right to the point when she talks about her peers, calling her generation â&#x20AC;&#x153;disconnected from reality with technology.â&#x20AC;? Instead, Hung prefers the human touch, be it through volunteering (she calls bingo at Amica and plays piano every month at a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; centre) or helping her high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Issues club and jazz choir. Her outlook can be paralleled to her favourite composers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like Chopin, even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technically difficult, but Beethoven has raw emotion. He moves you mentally and physically. I think we need more of that in life.â&#x20AC;?

Nineteen-year-old Coquitlam resident Tyler Shaw will be recording an original song for Sony Music after winning the 2012 MuchMusic Covers Contest on Sunday night at its video awards ceremony.

Shaw wins covers contest By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A few months ago Tyler Shaw was one of 1,300 people to submit an entry to the MuchMusic Covers Contest 2012. After Sunday night, he is the last performer standing. The 19-year-old Coquitlam resident took home the grand prize, and will now have an original song produced and released digitally by Sony Music. He will also

shoot a video for the song. The grand prize winner was announced during the MuchMusic Video Awards Sunday night. “This is now a career,” he said. “As soon as I made the top 15 I started to get really serious about it. It has been a hell of a ride and I want it to continue.” Shaw entered the contest with a video of himself singing Invincible by Hedley, which allowed him to advance to the top 15. He also submitted a cover of

Rolling in the Deep by Adele to get into the top 10 and his performance of Britney Spears’ I Wanna Go helped him into the top three finals. Shaw is currently taking sociology at the University of Prince Edward Island, but will be spending the summer at home in Coquitlam.

Rookie Ryan Johnson of the Coquitlam Adanacs, seen here toiling against the Nanaimo Timbermen earlier this WLA season, bagged two goals and three assists in his team’s 13-8 comeback win Saturday.

Late goal explosion lifts A’s over Ridge By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Adanacs got something Saturday they’ve struggled to attain in their previous seven Western Lacrosse Association outings. Goals – lots of ’em. Trailing 8-6 early in the third period, the A’s ripped in seven straight markers in the final 16 minutes to shake the Maple Ridge Burrards 13-8 at Poirier Sports Complex. The win was the A’s third straight and boosted them to 4-4-0, while the struggling

Burrards stand at 1-7-1 after finally posting their first victory Sunday over the host Burnaby Lakers, 9-5. Rookie Daniel McQuade pumped in a pair of goals during the seven-goal outburst, as did Dane Dobbie. Other first-year players to strike net for the A’s included Travis Cornwall and Ryan Johnson, with a pair apiece, and Leif Mydske. “I think some of our rookies are getting more comfortable on the floor,” A’s general manager Randy Delmonico explained to The Tri-City News. “We didn’t play very well in

the first two periods... there were blunders all over the floor. I think after a couple wins we figured we just had to show up.” The teams were knotted 3-3 after the first period, in which the Burrards out-shot the A’s 20-9, then took a 7-6 margin into the third. There, ex-PoCo Saint junior Derek Lowe scored to give Ridge an 8-6 lead before the A’s came to life and, eventually, took command. Daryl Veltman and Jason Jones also tallied for Coquitlam, with former Jr. Adanac Brandon Bertoia pacing Ridge with two goals. Veltman, Cornwall, Johnson and Mydske – a first-year cast-off by the Langley

Thunder – also dished out three assists each for the victors. Delmonico also attributed the A’s late surge to his players’ strong conditioning regimen and solid work ethic early in the season. “We’re practising really hard, a lot of that on fitness,” he said. “If you’re going to outwork the other team, you better come in pretty good shape to do it.” Next, the A’s visit the 4-3-2 Lakers in Burnaby on Friday before returning home Saturday to host 5-3-0 Langley at Poirier, 7 p.m.

Five past champs coming to Coq. for women’s golf Five past champions have confirmed their intention to challenge for the $2 million purse at the 2012 CN Canadian Women’s Open being held Aug. 20-26 at Coquitlam’s Vancouver Golf Club, it was announced Monday. Leading the way is defending champion Brittany Lincicome, currently the 13th

ranked player in the world. Lincicome, a five-time winner on the LPGA Tour, had six top-10 finishes in 2011, highlighted by her victories at the 2011 CN Canadian Women’s Open and the 2011 ShopRite LPGA Classic event. Lincicome will be joined by a group of former CN Canadian Women’s Open cham-

pions — world No. 4 Suzann Pettersen, world No. 8 Cristie Kerr, world No. 38 Michelle Wie and world No. 45 Katherine Hull. Pettersen is an eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour including the 2009 CN Canadian Women’s Open, while Kerr’s victory at the 2006 CN Canadian Women’s Open is one of 14 career LPGA Tour victories.

Wie, the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Open champion, is a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour and Hull, the 2008 CN Canadian Women’s Open champion, has also captured two LPGA Tour events during the course of her career. see KEEL’S IN FIELD, page A31

Jr. A’s, Saints sizzle versus weekend foes TC Jr. A lax units net 2 wins each

Coquitlam J r. Adanacs rebounded from two straight losses to post a pair of lopsided victories last weekend. The Jr. A’s raced to a 4-1 first-period lead to bury the Delta Islanders 11-6 in Ladner on Saturday, then bolted to an early 8-1 margin and throttled the Nanaimo Timbermen 18-3 Sunday at Poirier Spor ts Complex. Against Delta, Robert C h u r c h and Reid Reinholdt scored twice and had five assists apiece at battle of the top two B.C. Junior ‘A’ lacrosse league teams. The result was never in doubt, as the Jr. A’s jumped to a 9-4 margin after two periods to take control. The Jr. A’s now sit 11-3 atop the eight-team loop, while Delta is next at 9-4-1. Ben McIntosh and Matthew Dinsdale also struck net twice for Coquitlam, who got singles from Michael Messeng er, Vincent Ricci and Andy Taylor. D av i d e D i Ru s c i o blocked 32 shots in the Jr. A’s cage. Against Nanaimo, Dinsdale collected two goals and five helpers in the Jr. A’s whopping 15goal win. McIntosh led all Coquitlam goal-getters with three, with two apiece also coming from Ricci, Conner B u c h a n a n , We s l e y Berg, Corey Shires and Tyler Garrison. Berg also dished out four as-

sists for the winners, who meet Delta again tonight (Wednesday) at Poirier, 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the PoCo Saints also posted a pair of crucial victories on the weekend, including a 14-11 triumph Friday over the Langley Thunder at PoCo Rec Centre. T h e S a i n t s h ave climbed to fourth spot at 8-4, with Langley falling to 7-7. The game was tied 2-2 after the first period before PoCo out-scored the Thunder 7-2 in the second. Richard Lachlan rallied the Saints with two goals and four assists, while Cody Craven and Connor Goodwin also netted a pair of markers apiece. Saints’ singles went to Garrett Chan, Cody L’Arrivee, Nash Harrison, Tanner Fisher, Brock Whiteley, Colby Beveridge, Andrew Bromley and Matt Delmonico. On Sunday, Lachlan’s three goals sparked the Saints to a solid 10-6 victory over the host Burnaby Jr. Lakers. PoCo led 3-2 and 6-4 at the intermissions. Whiteley netted two tallies for the Saints, whose other marksmen were Bromley, Chan, Goodwin, David McSkimming and Cory Takahara. The Saints host the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies tomorrow (Thursday) and Burnaby on Friday in back-to-back home games at PoCo Rec Centre, both 8 p.m. starts.

Keel’s in field continued from page A30

Lincicome, Pettersen, Ker r, Wie and Hull will be joined at the Vancouver Golf Club by a duo of previously confir med stars — world No. 1 Yani Tseng and New Zealand teen sensation Lydia Ko, the world’s top ranked amateur. “Two months out from the championship, we are very pleased with how our field is coming together and expect that all of the world’s best players will be at the Vancouver Golf Club,” said Sean Van Kesteren, Tournament Director, CN Canadian Women’s Open. “ B r i t t a n y, Michelle, Suzann, Cristie and Katherine

are tremendous talents and I’m sure together with world number one Yani Tseng will be among the crowd favourites during this year’s championship.” A field of 156 competitors are slated to compete, while the deadline for players to confirm is Tuesday, Aug. 14. Canada’s national amateur team will also be represented as Team Canada athletes Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam, and 14-year old Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont. have already earned exemptions. Additional competitors including notable LPGA stars and Canadians will be announced in the coming weeks.

POCO CAR SHOW KEEPS GROWING

The streets of downtown Port Coquitlam will again be lined this August with some of the most gorgeous classic cars and trucks in the Lower Mainland for the summer car show. The 8th edition of the Annual Downtown PoCo Car Show, sponsored by the Downtown Business Improvement Association and Metro Ford Motors, is set for Sunday, August 19th and once again is sure to not disappoint. Over 500 collector cars and 60,000 spectators are expected for the one-day show that continues to grow and promises something for everyone of all ages. A children’s area featuring rock climbing, mini golf, magicians and more will keep kids of all ages busy while their parents take in the sounds on the main stage at Leigh Square. Featured acts are Elvis himself as well as several bands throughout the day such as local artists, Night Shift. If you love Mustangs then you will want to check out the Sounds of Summer portion of the

show that begins behind the A&W and extends all the way down Donald Street. The show, that previously was held in June and located at the Kingsway Business Centre has now joined forces with the downtown show bringing a charity along with it in the Children’s Wish Foundation. Sounds of Summer has raised over $30,000 since it began and this year $5 from every entry from both shows will be donated to the cause. Children’s Wish Foundation will also be on site to conduct a 50/50 draw. So look for volunteers from the charity, buy a ticket and support a good cause. Great cars, great entertainment and great times are in store for the biggest event of the summer this Sunday, August 19 so be sure to mark it on your calendar and join the celebration at the 8th Annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show! There is no day-of registration so get your vehicle entry in early by filling out the online form at www.pocobia.com or call 604-464-1490 for more information.

Warm weather and outdoor grilling go hand-in-hand. Follow these tips from Port Coquitlam Fire & Emergency Services to keep your home safe this summer: • Never store combustible materials next to the barbecue. • Before covering or storing your barbecue, make sure it has been shut off, is completely cool and/or has no hot coals. • Never leave the barbecue unattended when in use. • Keep gas hoses away from hot surfaces and hot grease. • Keep children and pets away from the gas valve and the grill. • Keep loose clothing away from the hot barbecue. • Don’t put water on a grease À Àre - it will only cause Á Áames to Áare. Use an approved Àre À extinguisher or baking soda. • Don’t operate your barbecue near wooden fences or walls, beneath a combustible roof, under a tree, near vinyl siding or in an enclosed space (such as a garage). • When Ànished, À Àrst turn off the gas valve to allow gas in the hoses to burn off before turning off the burner controls. • Clean the burners and grill regularly to minimize the risk of grease Àres. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/Àre for more À Àre safety tips and information.

Care for bears: secure your garbage This summer, residents in both north and south Port Coquitlam are being asked to “care for bears” by following two key elements of the City’s Solid Waste Bylaw: LOCK IT UP: Secure your garbage and green carts in a wildlife-resistant enclosure (e.g. garage or shed) or with an approved wildlife-resistant lock. SET IT OUT: Cart set-out times are between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day. Bears are needlessly killed each year after becoming habituated to human food sources such as garbage and green carts, backyard fruit trees and pet food bowls. So far this year,

three bears have been destroyed and more than 37 have been spotted in Port Coquitlam. Two of the 16 calls in May were about bears getting into garbage or other items. As in 2011, City staff will be enforcing the bylaw this year in both north and south Port Coquitlam. The Àne for putting out carts at the curb prior to 5:30 a.m. on pickup day is $150. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/bears for information about the bear regulations in the City’s Solid Waste Bylaw and other tips for keeping bears away. If you see a bear, report it to the 24-hour hotline 1-877952-RAPP.
