Blood: It’s in PoMo teen to give... back By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
When Linden Terret turns 17 next week, he won’t celebrate with a day at the beach or a party with friends. The Port Moody teen will be donating blood at Canadian Blood Services’ Vancouver headquarters. It’s a donation he has been waiting to make since he was just five years old, the first time his mom became gravely ill. In 1999, Melanie Terret developed aplastic anemia, a condition
LINDEN TERRET in which the bone marrow no longer produces new cells. She needed a transplant to survive but her only sibling, an
older brother, wasn’t a match. Terret was placed on the worldwide bone marrow registry... and waited. For more than a year she got blood transfusions every six days. Linden was just five years old at the time and doesn’t remember much but his mom said he used to call her blood transfusions “filling up her gas tank” because they gave her some much-needed energy for a few days. see ‘IF IF NOBODY NOBODY’,, page 4
An extra Evergreen station on Pinetree Station will be on mall property By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A third Evergreen Line station for Coquitlam’s City Centre appears to be firmly on track after a $7-million boost this week from the federal government. On Thursday, TriCity MP and Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore announced the cash for
the new Lincoln station — in Coquitlam Centre mall property at Lincoln Avenue and Pinetree Way — as part of a P3 Canada Fund project with Pensionfund Realty Ltd., a privately held real estate company that owns the mall. Pensionfund, Coquitlam’s largest corporate taxpayer at $6.3 million last year, will donate a chunk of its northeast parking lot between Lincoln and Northern avenues for the station. Money is also coming
Will feds kick in cash for sewage work to ease tax burden?: pg. 19 from developers building highrises in the area. To date, the city has less than $1 million in the Density Bonus Fund — City Centre Amenities that was set up last year to pay for the Lincoln station. But density bonuses — a zoning tool that allows developers to build more housing
units, taller buildings or more floor space than normally allowed in exchange for a public benefit — have been committed by Polygon and Onni, for example, for their planned towers at Windsor Gate and Westwood Street to the tune of $1 million each. see $25M WAS, WAS, page 6

Was jail death murder? IHIT isn’t sure By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of death of David William Brodrick, the man who died in North Fraser Pre-trial Centre on the weekend. Integrated Homicide
Investigation Team Cpl. Adam MacIntosh said an autopsy was conducted on Tuesday and the results are not expected to be released anytime soon. He would not say whether foul play was suspected. “It is still unexplained,” he said. “When you have an unexplained death...
we want to treat it as something serious so nothing is missed.” Brodrick was found in medical distress in his cell Sunday night; paramedics attempted to revive the 44-year-old Vancouver man. BC Corrections spokesperson Marnie
Mayhew said in a press release that staff at the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, which oversees the province’s jail system, would also be conducting an internal investigation. Brodrick was featured in an episode of CBC’s Fifth Estate in 2009
called “Staying Alive,” which profiled Insite, Va n c o u ve r ’s s u p e rvised safe injection site. Brodrick was a regular at the site and was wellknown figure in the Downtown Eastside. Investigators would not say what led to Brodrick’s initial ar-
rest but Darwin Fisher, an Insite employee, told CBC this week he appeared to be trying to turn his life around. “He talked about getting work [and housing],” he said. “This is stuff that I’ve never heard from Dave before... the idea that Dave says
‘Hey, could you help me find a job?’ was really great to hear. “To lose this person that I’ve been in contact with for years and seen struggle for years, and finally see them in a good place. And now he’s dead.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

It can be expensive to equip a child to play sports and KidSport Tri-Cities especially needs donations of lacrosse gear for its used equipment sale Aug. 18. Money raised from the sale will go to pay sports registration fees for kids from low-income families.
Lax gear needed for KidSport sale Donations taken Aug. 4 to 17 By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody’s Domenic Runghen, seven, and his father Nuvin, pictured at the Dominic Mobilio Field, look forward to taking part in Kick for a Cure tomorrow (Saturday) at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. Nuvin Runghen, a dog handler with the Canadian Border Services Agency, is organizing the fifth annual soccer fest, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will include live music and soccer clinics for youth with the Vancouver Whitecaps and Metro-Ford Motors soccer clubs. Proceeds from the Black Press-sponsored event that collected $81,000 last year go to aid the Coquitlam-based Michael Cuccione Foundation, which has a lab at the BC Children’s Hospital and aims to fight childhood cancer. Domenic Runghen, a Grade 2 student at Pleasantside elementary school in Coquitlam, has been cancer-free for more than a year. Visit www.kickforacure.ca for more details.

Lacrosse gear for children of all ages is needed for donation to KidSport’s upcoming used equipment sale in Coquitlam. Organizer Chris Wilson said families tend to hold on to minor lacrosse gear for a while because it can last many years and because it’s expensive. As a result, there’s a lack of lacrosse items available at the biannual sale. Wilson said the event — which is sponsored in part by The Tri-City
News and takes place on Saturday, Aug. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex — is a good way to find secondhand sporting goods for cheap: A child can be outfitted for $100 for hockey compared with $600 for all new pads, skates, helmet and stick. Last year’s two KidSport sales generated $25,000 to fund registration fees for young at h l e t e s f ro m l ow income families. And combined with other fundraisers, including Operation Red Nose during the Christmas season, KidSport helped 480 children and teens get involved in sports, Wilson said.
To drop of f used spor ting equipment from now until Aug. 15, visit Centennial secondary school, 570 Poirier St., Coquitlam; or Gleneagle secondary, 1195 Lansdowne Dr., Coquitlam. As well, between Aug. 4 and 17, donations will be accepted at the Port Coquitlam and Port Moody recreation complexes, Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex in Coquitlam and ThriftOpolis (D-2579 Lougheed Hwy., Port Coquitlam). Admission to the Aug. 18 sale is by donation or with a non-perishable food item for the Share food bank. For more info, visit kidsporttricities.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

continued from front page
Eventually, a match w a s f o u n d ( a l aw school student living in Massachusetts) and Terret had her bone marrow transplant on Valentine’s Day in 2001. Linden and his grandmother decorated his mom’s hospital room with hearts before the procedure, knowing she would be in isolation and wouldn’t be able to see him for the next six weeks. The next six years were relatively uneventful for Linden and his mom. Then, in the fall of 2007, Terret had difficulty breathing and was back in hospital. A series of tests confirmed it wasn’t related to her earlier illness. Terret had hepatopulmonary syndrome, a rare liver disease that causes low oxygen levels in the blood. The only treatment is a liver transplant, so Terret was back on the list. Her condition deteriorated and she was hospitalized in May 2008. Just before Christmas, Terret was concentrating on keeping her strength up so doctors would let her go home for one last

Linden Terret with his mom, Melanie, who used to get a blood transfusion every six days. Christmas with her son but a phone call on the evening of Dec. 22, 2008 changed that. There was a donor, the surgeon said, and Terret would receive a new liver the next morning. A 13-year-old Linden opened his Christmas presents that year beside his mom’s hospital bed, and a year after being hospitalized, Terret finally went home in May 2009. She speaks about her ordeal at Canadian Blood Services events and says people are often curious about her bone marrow and liver donors. “They give me inspi-
ration,� she said. “The selfless gifts they’ve given me are amazing. But I had over 250 blood transfusions before all that. If I hadn’t had those, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to have those gifts. “I wouldn’t have survived.� The amount of blood needed during a transplant surgery is “massive,� Terret added. “So many people contributed to that, and they don’t even realize the lives they’ve touched.� Linden always knew he wanted to repay those kindnesses in some way and at 14 asked his mom
how to go about donating blood. The minimum age is 17, so Linden plans to start a lifelong donation campaign on July 27, the very first day he’s eligible — he has even recruited a couple of friends to join him. “I want to be one of those guys who gets to go up on stage at the Canadian Blood Services events, I want to get one of those certificates� for donating blood 50 or 100 times, Linden said. The importance of donating, he added, is obvious: “If nobody gave blood, I wouldn’t have my mom.� spayne@tricitynews.com

An illustration of the planned Lincoln Station on the Evergreen Line, to be located on the east side of the Coquitlam Centre mall property, two blocks north of Coquitlam Central Station and two blocks from the Douglas College Station.
$25M was Port Moody price continued from front page
Because the station construction has yet to be publicly tendered, city officials were mum on how much Lincoln will cost to build. But Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay told The TriCity News after the press conference his city was quoted about $25 million to have a city-funded station at the west end of downtown Port Moody and was told it would require 15,000 more people living close by to justify it. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said City Centre will continue to grow, with about a dozen more highrises planned. Asked by The News about the need for three stations within four blocks of one another — Coquitlam Central will be located at the current bus loop at Barnet and Lougheed while the Douglas College station will be next to the E ve r g re e n C u l t u r a l Centre at Pinetree and Guildford ways — he argued that a third station is needed to support that density not only to make public transit more accessible but to take cars off the street, reduce greenhouse gases and spur economic development. Stewart said Coquitlam doesn’t want to see its rapid-transit line be like the Millennium Line, where surrounding growth hasn’t progressed as anticipated. Stewart also praised MP Moore for making the P3 project happen, with Ottawa’s contribution to the $4-billion dollar Evergreen Line now standing at $424 million. “Without the help of the federal government, this collaboration may not have gotten off the ground,� Stewart said. “The train wouldn’t
have left the station.� Stewart also promised that Lincoln Station will be open when Evergreen is running in the summer of 2016, making the stop “an integral part� of the City Centre. M o o r e s a i d h e ’s pleased the line is now in the works. “For a long time, the Evergreen Line was talked about,� he said. “It was theorized. It was debated. It went back
and forth. It’s moving forward now. Construction is beginning. Planning has been happening for a long time.� He added: “The [Lincoln] station is an important component of what the Evergreen Line will mean for the Tri-Cities. It will bring more rapid transit access to this fast-growing area and it will improve transit linkages and re-

Review nixed, Crossley still up for Dec. release ‘Ridiculous,’ says Gord Penner By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Ryan Crossley, the man who killed Jesse Penner in 2006 in Port Coquitlam, waived his right to a detention review hearing this week. The 22-year-old was supposed to appear before the parole board on Wednesday but when he arrived he said he did not want to waste anyone’s time, according to Patrick Storey, regional manager of community relations and training for the parole board. But because Crossley refused to sign a waiver, the board will still have to make a decision. “Obviously, it wasn’t a full hearing,” he said. “If Mr. Crossley doesn’t want to answer any questions, the board can’t force him to do it.” The board will use reports submitted by his parole officer and other documents to make their decision, Storey added.

Dense housing above Evergreen By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The list of registered voters in civic elections should be made public as a way to get more people to the polls, a Coquitlam city councillor says. On Monday, Coun. Terry O’Neill put forward a notice of motion to ask the provincial government to change the Local Government Act to allow inspection of the voters’ list at any time — not just in the eight weeks following a municipal race, as is currently permitted. The list, which cannot be photocopied, is often used by campaign organizers to obtain names of people who cast ballots, although no information on whom they voted for. O’Neill argued that by having the voters’ list
easily accessible — in printed form and online — “voters would respond positively to the knowledge that such a list would be published by voting in large numbers.” Last November in Coquitlam, 21% — or 17,961 of 82,839 — eligible voters cast a ballot.
O’Neill is also asking council to lobby the Lower Mainland Local Government Association to amend the provincial rules for the two-month window. Council is expected to debate the motion on July 30. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Port Moody-Coquitlam NDP MLA Joe Trasolini has been appointed opposition critic for housing, construction and business investment, the party announced Wednesday. NDP leader Adrian Dix said given Trasolini’s business background, he is a good fit for the position. The former Port Moody mayor will be responsible for talking with the business community and growing investment opportunities in the province. Trasolini won his seat in a byelection in the spring, besting BC Liberal Dennis Marsden and Conservative candidate Christine Clarke.

Eleven new homes are slated to be built above the Evergreen Line tunnel in Burquitlam. On Monday, Coquitlam city council gave first reading to a rezoning bid for David Lin Design Studio to build four strata units in two buildings on a residential lot at 707 Clarke Rd. A public hearing on the application will be held July 30, along with a similar proposal to build a triplex and fourplex, with seven homes, down the road at 792/794 and 796/798 Clarke Rd. Both projects fall under the Housing Choices initiative, a city policy designed to encourage more density on larger lots in Burquitlam and southwest Coquitlam neighbourhoods. Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s manager of development services, said while the RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex zone has only received third reading by council, the bylaw is expected to be brought forward for formal adoption when the 707 Clarke Rd. bid is considered. “The bylaw will move forward concurrently,” he said. The Evergreen Line, from Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby to Coquitlam Town Centre
via Port Moody, is set to be running by the summer of 2016. Meanwhile, city council also granted first reading at Monday’s meeting to rezone land on Burke Mountain for a proposed subdivision at 3475 Darwin Ave., and 3466 and 3468 Roxton Ave. Owners Brian and Susan Reaveley are planning nine large village single-family lots and a large property for four future lots on a total of two acres, bisected by West Smiling Creek. The bid will also go to public hearing on July 30. Other Coquitlam council news:

nconsiderate. Ignorant. Environment defiler. Whatever you call idlers, they’re everywhere and unnecessarily causing air and noise pollution. Recently, Richmond city council took a step toward cracking down on offending motorists. New regulations will arm bylaw officers there with the power to hand out fines of $60 to motorists who allow their vehicles to idle longer than three minutes on public property. Idlers have long been allowed to go about their business, turning the key and sitting in their parked vehicle for countless minutes while leaving the engine running for whatever reason. They’re not only causing pollution, they’re a nuisance. And don’t believe the idlers who insist their practice is necessary. Studies have clearly shown that idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel and produces more emissions that turning off, then restarting an engine. Idling is also not an effective way to warm up your vehicle, even in cold weather. Cities have powers to create regulations aimed at restoring public health or protecting citizens from nuisance. It’s good some are using them. – The Richmond Review (Black Press)

Many people think they are too busy to take a real vacation — one in which the smartphone stays at home and work is truly turned off for days at a time. The completely unsatisfying compromise has become checking emails from the beach. Relaxation is always a bit elusive with the business Crackberry or iPhone close at hand.

pretty good at staying unplugged until the kids go to bed. My brother just sent me a funny article from the New York Times. Writer Tim Kreider argues as a society we have become obsessed with being busy. The ubiquitous answer to the obligatory “How are you?” used to be “Fine.” Now, the response is “busy,” with adjectives such as “very,” “so” or “crazy” stuck in front of it for emphasis. The counter-response is an appreciative nod or a validating “better than the alternative.” But is it always better to be busy? My best ideas come to me when I’m half spaced-out and a little bored, like in the shower or after a week of doing nothing. I’m not alone. “Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets,” Kreider writes.

Letting colleagues and customers down isn’t an appealing trade-off for quality downtime. Leslie Perlow of Harvard Business School argues that if workplace teams tackle the issue together it can be done — with big rewards for productivity and personal well-being. Her new book, Sleeping With Your Smart
Phone, details a process successfully implemented at the Boston Consulting Group where teams worked together to create predictable time off for co-workers. The results are impressive: • 72% (versus 49% who did not take part in the predictable time off experiment) were satisfied with their job; • 54% (versus 38%) were satisfied with their work-life balance; • and 95% (versus 84%) were likely to perceive they were providing more significant value to clients. As well, clients reported different experiences with personal time off teams from neutral to extremely positive and Boston Consulting’s CEO is now committed to making it part of the culture. Entrepreneurs will likely be the toughest group to convince that a vacation is possible. But they might just have the most to gain.

FACE TO FACE: Should B.C. privatize distribution of liquor?
Let B.C. follow Alberta’s lead O
utside of Alberta, Canada’s liquor distribution models are just plain wacky. In most provinces, the government controls the distribution of alcohol through publicly owned warehouses and retail outlets. In British Columbia, for example, all retail liquor sales must be purchased through the government’s Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB), which acts as the worldwide buyer and distributor for virtually all liquor sold. The system is a remnant of a past era when governments believed it was their right and duty to encourage moderation in alcohol consumption. But is this really necessary in 2012? It’s time for B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead. Now, my colleague opposite and I agree that the Christy Clark BC Liberals have no authority — moral or otherwise — to privatize anything during what is hopefully their last year in office. We don’t want another BC Rail fiasco, after all. But eventually, privatizing liquor distribution is a good policy. In 1993, the government of Alberta became the first province to disband its liquor control board and replaced it with a private —
albeit highly regulated — liquor distribution system. The retail system is also now fully privatized so that licensed private stores can sell liquor. According to a 2012 analysis completed by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, Alberta’s experience has been a success. Since privatization, the number of liquor stores in Alberta has greatly increased, as have product selection and government revenues. Prices decreased by 2.9% across the board while alcohol consumption only increased modestly. Liquor boards are also costing us money because of bad management. While they purchase large volumes of alcohol, they can’t or won’t negotiate volume discounts. The theory is, if the price for alcohol is high, people will drink more responsibly and they will buy less. As a result, instead of paying $6.50 for a bottle of Yellow Tail Shiraz in a chain store in California, or $10.40 for it in Alberta, British Columbians pay $12.99 or more. The government needs to get out of the liquor business altogether. It can regulate booze to ensure it stays out of the hands of minors but let adults decide when and where to purchase their beverages.

. Lohr cabernet sauvignon costs $8.99 at Ralph’s in California and $29.99 in B.C. Yes, booze in B.C. is expensive. Yes, we all decry mark-ups of 123% on wine and 170% on spirits. And admittedly, many of our liquor laws and practices need changing. That said, whether liquor sales are public or private, what most consumers want in B.C. are fairer prices and greater selection. Those of us not averse to the occasional tipple can dream that the government’s rush to privatize liquor distribution will propel us to the kind of prices enjoyed by U.S. imbibers — but there’s no indication that it will. According to the Consumer Association of Canada, privatizing B.C.’s liquor distribution would result in an increase in prices and a decline in availability and selection. Even Energy and Mines Minister Rich Coleman won’t say that privatization would lower prices. Coleman does say that government will maintain control over pricing, taxation and revenue, and that union workers will not lose their jobs. So if government gets the same revenue and liquor workers keep their jobs, why would we exchange a public monopoly for a private one?
The only defensible reason for selling such an enterprise would be if it would save government money, lower prices or improve selection. This is unlikely given that one of the top bidders for B.C.’s Liquor Distribution Branch is Alberta liquor distributor Exel Logistics. It’s more likely the Alberta experience would be repeated here: more small outlets with higher prices, sparse selection and minimum-wage workers. This liquor privatization plan was recently lobbied back to life, Gordon Campbell having decided that there was no benefit to privatization, that it was a solution in search of a problem. We in B.C. have always demanded more from our liquor than the warm glow we get from a precocious little pinot noir. Selling booze contributes $900 million annually towards government programs and provides 3,500 well-paying jobs to B.C. families. Instead of selling off the lucrative Liquor Distribution Branch, we might work to develop a model for liquor distribution and sale that would encourage real competition and lower liquor prices. Or perhaps we might just choose social spending and well-paid workers over our quixotic dream of California-style liquor prices.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS
Rhetoric, humour inform The Editor, Re . “ O n N e l s o n’ s ‘drivel’” (Letters, The TriCity News, July 13) and “Develop or protect – what to do with the Riverview Hospital lands?” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, July 13). I h ave t o g ive a thumbs down for Ken Norton’s letter to the editor about the side of your Face to Face column written by Jim Nelson. And I give The Tri-City News thumbs up for the Face to Face feature in general for the work of both columnists, Mr. Nelson and Andy Radia. I like the format of presenting (usually) op-
FACE TO FACE
Agree or disagree with Radia and Nelson but read them on page 11. posing views on a topic. The Face to Face columns about what to do with the Riverview lands that happened to be published one page before Mr. Norton’s letter are a perfect example. In this case, I agree with Mr. Nelson’s view that we invest in the Riverview lands by both retaining the park space and improving our much-needed mental health resources.
And I disagree with Mr. Radia’s view that we should bulldoze the place, sell it, then take the money and run. These lands are far too valuable a public resource for the community and for the province not to hang on to them. If they are sold, what would we have after 10 years and what would we have lost? Besides, the BC Rail deal reminds us that it
is often only the crooks and their lawyers who really get to take the money and run. But I’m sure there are some out there who agree with Mr. Radia and enjoyed his presentation of the argument — that’s what the feature is all about. Some artfully applied rhetoric and the occasional bit of humour go a long way towards getting people thinking and talking about issues. If someone thinks this is “drivel” repeated 52 weeks of the year, then I’m surprised that they would keep reading it. Ken Murray, Port Moody

midst of National Energy Board hearings on the project to run oil sands crude from Edmonton to Kitimat. “We’re letting the panel do its job and we’re waiting for the eventual recommendations,” Kent said, speaking at a stop in Delta. Kent was also asked by Black Press whether the Kalamazoo findings are cause for concern about Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, which is nearly 60 years old and increasingly carrying Alberta oil sands crude. “While there have been minor spills in the past with regard to the Kinder Morgan line, it has been operated by the company in a highly responsible manner,” Kent said, adding it’s subject to regular inspection and oversight. But he added Ottawa is not certain that’s enough. “[Natural Resources] Minister Joe Oliver has made it quite clear that given the number of recent spills — larger and smaller — that we do need to look at some of the older pipelines and perhaps consider the sort of inspection regimes and precautions and technology that’s in place today as opposed to when the pipelines were put in the ground.” Kinder Morgan is applying to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline that runs southwest across B.C. and through the Lower Mainland to Burnaby. Opponents of the new line don’t want to see more oil tankers ply Vancouver harbour. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Say goodbye to Knee pain Experience the benefits of Low Intensity Laser Light Therapy “My name is Lisa Porcellato and I received treatment on my right knee. I am a fitness instructor and I instruct several types of classes per week and I jog a couple of times per week as well. I was experiencing sharp pain directly under my knee cap. I came in for 5 treatments and after 3 I noticed a huge improvement. I am now resuming all of my fitness activities and my knee feels great. I have recommended laser light therapy to several people.” ~ Lisa Porcellato

“After several weeks of suffering I thought I had nothing to lose by giving laser treatment a try. After only 6 treatments I could walk again (short distances) and following the full course of treatments (14) my knee was back to 90% of where it was before I over-exerted the knee. I am now driving without pain and can walk a couple of miles without problem. I would thoroughly recommend anyone with knee pain consider a course of laser treatment.” ~ Gerry O’Hara

Feds hint at sewage cost help By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
M e t ro Va n c o u ve r leaders say they’re optimistic Ottawa will contribute one third of the $1.4-billion cost of replacing the Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants and ease some of the pain for Lower Mainland homeowners who face sharply higher utility bills. Federal Environment Minister Peter Kent was in Delta Wednesday to announce new federal effluent regulations that mandate sewage system upgrades to a minimum of secondary treatment. He made no explicit funding promises but said the federal government intends to roll out a new long-term infrastructure grant program starting in 2014, after the federal deficit is eliminated. Metro board chair Greg Moore said he’s hopeful one third of the upgrade cost here will be covered by the federal government and be matched by the province. The new rules had been widely expected and Metro Vancouver is already designing the replacement of its Lions Gate plant, which must be complete by 2020. The deadline for Iona’s replacement is 2030 but Metro aims to replace it several years sooner if senior governments share the costs. If federal grant money doesn’t materialize, Metro Vancouver residents could see their sewage bills more than triple, and households in Vancouver and the North Shore that are directly served by Iona and Lions Gate may see their annual bills rise by as much as $1,000. “That’s the worstcase scenario,” said Moore, mayor of Port Coquitlam. “It is not reasonable to expect local taxpayers to carry the entire burden.” Some cities within Metro are also lobbying to rejig the formula that currently apportions much of sewage capital costs on the benefiting areas. The idea would be to spread more of the cost across all of the regional district, making residents in non-benefiting areas such as Surrey and the Tri-Cities chip in to reduce the impact in Vancouver and the North Shore. Surrey councillors have vowed to fight such a change, arguing their residents previously paid the bulk of the costs of the 1996 upgrade of the Annacis Island treatment plant under the current fund-
ing formula. Georgia Strait Alliance executive dire c t o r C h r i s t i a n n e Wilhelmson said the Iona plant should be upgraded sooner than
2030, the deadline for medium-risk plants, adding it should be considered high-risk. “Iona discharges near the mouth of the Fraser River, a very unique ma-
rine environment,” she said, “but it’s treated like any other wastewater system that might dump into the middle of the ocean.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

Kids, vote on new PM library card Calling all kids: Port Moody Public Library is launching a new library card just for children and librarians need your help in choosing the best design. Three designs have been created for the new children’s card and PMPL wants to know which one young people like best. Children are invited to visit the library and cast their vote. The contest is open to children up to 12 years old or anyone who is registered for the Port Moody summer reading club. The rules are simple: Visit the library, choose your favourite design and then vote. Each child is allowed to vote once each day for his or her favourite design. The contest is running all summer, so children will have plenty of opportunities to vote. The contest closes on Sept. 1 and the winning design will be announced the following week at the summer reading club medal ceremony. The brand new children’s card will be available in time for Port Moody’s 2013 centennial celebrations. Funding for this project is provided by the Links to Literacy golf tournament.

While your car insurance covers many things, it usually does not extend to loss of your personal contents in the car. In addition to losing your personal property, a break-in can leave you with the hassle and expense of fixing damages such as broken window glass, typical with a break-in. If you claim against your car insurance, you’ll be paying the Comprehensive deductible. But if personal items have been stolen from your vehicle, your deductibles may not end there. Goods such as cameras, sporting equipment and clothing are usually covered under your home insurance policy, not your car insurance. You would be required to make two separate claims, one on your car insurance and the other on your home insurance. Typical deductibles on car insurance can range from $300 to $500, while $500 is the standard on home insurance. A car break in can cost you, the

Summer is here again, and you’ll probably find you’re using the car more, for going on road trips, or camping or a day jaunt to your favourite beach. Naturally, items like sunglasses, camping gear, shopping bags and cell phones for example also find their way into your vehicle. But what happens when you get back to your car from a day of fun and find the window shattered, the door forced and items are missing. If this happens, what’s covered by car insurance and what is not?

insured, $1,000 in deductibles and the hassle of making two separate claims. The good news is that there are now some optional car insurance policies offering unique solutions, like the Smash and Grab coverage that can be added to BCAA’s Optional Car Insurance. The Smash and Grab coverage waives the glass deductible on all glass claims and covers your personal property up to $500, again with no deductible. Of course, prevention is always better than cure, so try and avoid making yourself an easy target by giving thieves a reason to break into your car. Keep valuable items hidden from view, or better yet keep them locked up in the trunk when you’re away from your car. You should also always ensure you lock the doors and roll up all the windows before you leave. The next time your car insurance is up for renewal, speak to a BCAA Car Insurance specialist. They’ll assess your needs and help find the options that are right for you. Zlata Stump is an Insurance Specialist with BCAA. She can be reached at zlata.stump@bcaa.com.

Minnekhada & Maillardville: 2 sides of history YOUR HISTORY Jill Cook
polo club, a stable and a nicely appointed hunting lodge. Construction was underway in ’34 that created a magnificent venue for elegant dinner parties where fine wine was served and guests were assured of first-class entertainment and food. Minnekhada served as the home for two of B.C.’s lieutenant governors: Eric Hamber and Clarence Wallace. It was also host to royalty — King George VI’s visit with Queen Elizabeth in 1939 caused quite a stir in the community. In contrast, the west end of Coquitlam — Fraser Mills and what is now known as Maillardville — was developing as a solid working community anchored to the mill on the Fraser River and nurturing its language and religion from Quebec roots. A wide range of ethnicities originally populated the mill town and surrounding area until the arrival of the first train of skilled workers from Quebec in 1909. These workers were recruited for their work ethic, skills and in response to a then prevalent anti-Asian sentiment. The workers and families who were brought from Quebec to this part of Coquitlam stayed. They worked, they raised their families and they represent a unique and distinct
O
ne hundred years ago, the Minnekhada farm got its name. “Minnekhada” was derived from the Sioux Indian language and interprets as “rattling water” — “mini” means water and “kahada” means to rattle. The farm’s owner in 1912, Harry Leroy Jenkins, was a widower and wealthy lumberman from Minnesota. He initially purchased only 160 acres but almost immediately expanded his holdings tenfold to 1,600 acres with the hope of creating a lasting benefit for his three children. On today’s map, the Jenkins farm area falls between Cedar and Quarry roads, the De Boville Slough, Addington Point Marsh and the Pitt River. This land, which had been a farm for 17 years before it was named Minnekhada, was the start of what ultimately evolved to become our beloved Minnekhada Regional Park, which today comprises 642 acres. From the robust working farm it was in 1912, the beautiful property evolved to become a retreat for the wealthy, the well-positioned and those inclined to play. By 1934, it was on its way to becoming a

Keep canines cool & safe As the temperature rises, so do the risks for your pet. That’s the message from the BC SPCA as it ramps up efforts to raise awareness about the hazards and consequences — some potentially fatal — when mixing hot summer weather and animals. Many people like to take their dogs with them to the beach or on errands but it’s risky to take your canine friend in your vehicle. The temperature inside a parked car at this time of year, even one that’s in the shade, can climb well above 38 C and dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a short time before suffering irreparable brain damage or even death. “Dogs can die after just ten minutes in a hot car,â€? Craig Naherniak, BC SPCA’s humane education general manager, said in a press release. “It’s much kinder and far safer to leave your friend in a cool environment.â€? Naher niak recommends the following tips for keeping your dog safe: • Don’t leave your pet in the car. Even a car parked in the shade can pose a threat to your pet. • Use caution when running, cycling or inline skating with your pet as these activities pose serious risks of heat stroke, accidents and anxiety experienced by the animal. If you run or cycle with your dog, choose cooler times of day such as early morning or late evening and take plenty of breaks. Also, run on soft trails rather than on cement and asphalt, which can burn your pet’s foot pads. • Always take water and a container from which your dog can drink. • Have the number of
a vet on hand so you are prepared in case of an emergency. To avoid potential disaster, know the signs of heat stroke in pets: exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of co-ordination, convulsions or vomiting and collapse. If your dog shows symptoms of heat
stroke, immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place; then wet the dog with cool water, including the head and feet, and fan vigourously to promote evaporation. Do not apply ice as this constricts blood flow, which will inhibit cooling. Allow the dog to drink some cool water and get it to the vet immediately. Besides dogs and cats,
it’s important to take good care of your small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits and rats. Never put their cages near windows and provide shelter and shade if they are enjoying outdoor time. On the hottest days, placing dishes of ice in enclosures will assist in lower temperatures. For more information on pet safety visit spca. bc.ca.

Deevelopers including work-live spaces in new projects
g the work-life balance Living in the Lower Mainland can sometimes mean a long commute between work and home. Many developers are making this easier on homeowners by incorporating worklive spaces in their new homes. A work-live space is usually a small space in a home with room for a desk and often shelving and lighting. It can be a separate room, or more often, a designated nook off of the living area. Treegroup’s Headwaters takes it one step further, offering a Business Centre that includes a conference room, Internet lounge and private offices. The homes include an area that Treegroup calls a Personal Hub, with a built-in
desk and recessed lighting. Another development that offers work-live spaces is Cressey’s MTwo, which include workstations in nearly every floorplan. Their Meccanica development will also include a space for working at home. Bluetree Homes’ developments at Kanaka Creek and Bishop Creek are also in the thick of the work-live trend with their bonus room in every floorplan that is perfect for an office. When your commute can be measured in seconds rather than minutes, you’ll have more time to enjoy the sunny day and get more done when you’re not worried about fighting traffic.
A stress-free buying experience
Coming g home to Morningstar’s Kingston by Kerry Vital
When you’re looking for a home fit for royalty, look no further than Morningstar Homes’ Kingston on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain. “This is one of the most pictureperfect projects,” says Morningstar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Deborah Calahan. “Coquitlam has not had homes of this grandeur before.” The homes opened for sale on July 7, and already over 25 per cent of them have sold. With just 26 single-family homes in the project, they are already proving very popular, and Calahan says people don’t want to miss out. “There are no other homes like it,” she says. “These are the last of the big lots on Burke Mountain.” Morningstar prides itself on its array of options that they give home buyers, and nowhere is this more evident than at Kingston. With two different floorplans (Emerald and Sapphire), both over 4,300 square feet, the homes at Kingston are truly spacious. With an open-concept layout and tons of amazing features, there is no shortage of things to fall in love with as you tour the two show homes. You can start with the huge lots, ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 square feet. All of them have plenty of usable backyard space for playing or entertaining, and back onto a protected green creek space. The four-bedroom homes include windows from floor to the 19-foot ceiling in the great room on the main floor, letting the light pour in no matter what Mother Nature is doing outside. Beside the great room, the kitchen is a chef ’s dream, with a huge granite island and the option to include a spice or butler’s kitchen. The Emerald plan includes French doors out to the backyard, which Calahan says have been a particularly popular feature. The Sapphire plan’s door opens from the side of the kitchen, continuing Morningstar’s theme of offering choices for homeowners. The kitchen and dining area includes chic hardwood flooring, while the rest is carpeted, with the option to have hardwood throughout the living areas. “We added more personal choices,” Calahan says. “That’s not typical of a volume builder.” The master suite is seriously stunning, with vaulted ceilings and private Juliet balconies perfect for
“
This is one of the most picture-perfect projects,” says Morningstar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Deborah Calahan. a glass of wine or a morning cup of coffee. The ensuite bathroom is fit for a spa, with a huge soaker tub and separate glass-framed shower, and a sparkling chandelier. “There’s a real resort feel in here,” says Calahan. “They really nailed it.” On the bottom floor, Morningstar again offers you options. The basement comes unfinished, but you are also able to make it into a legal suite or a deluxe finished basement. In every case, you are able to walk out directly into your backyard, making the basement a perfect place for a media room, play area or, in the case of the Sapphire show home, an amazing wine cellar. “We aim to make the home-buying experience smooth and stress-free,” Calahan says. “We’ve put together enough choices to make it your own while keeping it easy.” Homes start at $1.1 million. For more information, visit www. mstarhomes.com or call 604-469-1648.

Beauty is the name of the game at Morningstar Homes’ Kingston, on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain. With stunning exteriors, above, and an openplan layout with a 19-foot ceiling in the great room, middle, you’ll have plenty of space to entertain. When it’s relaxation you need, look no further than the spa-like bathroom in the master suite, top.

Port Moody’s Inaugural Youth Arts Festival is featuring over 30 performances from youth age 13 years to 18 years old. The Festival will be held over 4 days - Thurs July 26, Friday July 27, Saturday July 28 and Sunday July 29.

Dobbie delivers as once-sagging Adanacs now in hunt for top spot By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
L
ed by the Great Dane, the Coquitlam Adanacs have surged into second place and are a win away from being two points out of top spot. Not too shabby for a team that star ted the Wester n Lacrosse Association season with just one victory in its first five games. And not bad for a prolific player who stands a mere five-foot-eight but plays sixfoot-four. The diminutive, dynamic Dane Dobbie delivered six- and seven-point outings respectively to rally the A’s past the Victoria Shamrocks 10-9 last Friday and the Maple Ridge Burrards 11-8 on Saturday. The results ran the A’s winning streak to three games and boosted their record to 8-6-0 – four points back of the first-place Langley Thunder with a game in hand and heading into two key weekend match-ups – Friday versus the 7-5-2 Lakers in Burnaby and Saturday against the 6-6-1 Nanaimo Timbermen at Poirier Sports Complex, 7 p.m.
to go –– and two assists, “We’ve been working hard, getting better every game while he bagged three and we just have to keep it goals and four assists vergoing,” Dobbie, 25, told The sus Ridge. Remarkably, Tri-City News on the phone Dobbie did all this without his main set-up man Daryl Wednesday. “These two games Veltman, the A’s second[this weekend] are extremely important.” leading scorer who missed Dobbie is considered fearboth games last weekend less in his desire and deterbecause he was attending a mination to drive to the net. DANE DOBBIE wedding back east. Despite his rather small height, he “I feel the same way as anybody weighs a sturdy 180 pounds and owns does when he gets it going,” Dobbie arguably the quickest first step in shrugged. “What’s helping me is the the league. In just 11 games since whole offence is coming together at his return from playing winter pro the same time and our young guys with the National Lacrosse League’s are really stepping up. “I know I’m going to be watched Calgary Roughnecks, Dobbie boasts 27 goals and 20 assists for 47 points – every game but we have a lot of other good for eighth in the WLA. guys to watch, too.” “It’s the way I’ve always played A’s general manager Randy the game,” Dobbie said of his crease- Delmonico refers to Dobbie as “The crashing ways. “I just don’t think Franchsie” and is sometimes renabout it at the time. Maybe I should dered open-jawed himself at what do that more and pull back some- the player produces on the floor. “He’s a warrior,” Delmonico said. times but that’s not really my way. I just do what I think needs to be “He’ll go anywhere to score a goal. done.” That’s the leadership in him. Our It seems to work just fine. Against young guys see that and it rubs off Victoria, Dobbie collected four goals on them.” –– including the winner with 56 ticks So how, exactly, did a team that
started 1-4 suddenly plant itself in the hunt for first place? “We always knew we were good, now we say it and believe it,” Delmonico said. “The slow start can be attributed to so many of our guys coming right out of junior. It takes some time for those guys to adapt to the higher level of play, and now they are.” One of those guys is Daniel McQuade, a fourth-round pick by the A’s at last winter’s WLA draft who, like Dobbie, zipped in three goals and added four assists versus the Burrards. Again like Dobbie, Kevin Olson pumped in four goals against the Shamrocks, while A’s goalie Nick Rose was outstanding in blocking 48 shots as Coquitlam was out-shot by the islanders, 57-39. With just seven points separating first from sixth entering this week’s action, the WLA is the tightest it’s been in years, Delmonico said. “If we would have lost those two last weekend, we’d be in sixth,” he said. “We won them, so instead we’re in second. Every game is like a playoff game, it’s that tight. It’s good for the fans but hard on the coaches.”
LPGA Tour stars Na Ye o n Choi, Paula Creamer, Lexi Thompson and Natalie Gulbis have confirmed their intention to challenge for the US $2 million purse at the 2012 CN Canadian Women’s Open running Aug. 20-26 at The Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam. Choi’s confirmation comes on the heels of her victory last week at the U.S. Women’s Open. Currently the No. 2-ranked player on the L P G A Tour’s R o l e x women’s wo rl d g o l f r a n k i n g s , Choi is a CREAMER six-time LPGA winner and will be among 156 competitors at the Canadian Open. Joining Choi will be Paula Creamer, a ninetime LPGA winner and fan favourite on the Tour. Currently the No. 13-ranked player on the LPGA Tour’s Rolex rankings, Creamer’s the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open champion and has represented the United States on four occasions in the Solheim Cup. Also confirming her intention to compete is teenage sensation Lexi Thompson, who, with a victory at the 2011 Navistar Classic, became the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history (16 years, seven months and eight days). Currently the No. 22ranked player, the 17year old has made the cut in 11 of the 12 tournaments she’s played in 2012, including a pair of top-five finishes. The trio will be joined by another fan favourite, Natalie Gulbis, who is currently the No. 90-ranked player. Also, 16-year-old amateur hot shot Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam will compete. “Our field is coming together over the next few weeks and should once again feature the world’s best players competing for Canada’s national women’s open golf championship,” said tournament director Sean Van Kesteren.

Trailing 7-6 after two frames, the Jr. A’s out-shot the Thunder 23-11 and out-scored the visitors 5-1 in the final 20 minutes to post an 11-8 triumph at Poirier Sports Complex in the opening game of their best-of-five B.C.

Game 2 is set for Sunday in Langley, with Game 3 slated for next Wednesday back at Poirier, 7:30 p.m. Robert Church rallied the Jr. A’s attack with four goals and four assists.

Riley Camazzola stopped 34 shots in the Coquitlam cage. New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies and the Delta Islanders open the other semifinal series Saturday in Ladner. Meanwhile, the Thunder pumped in seven third-period goals on way to a 13-6 victory last Thursday over the Saints at PoCo Rec Centre to wrap up their best-of-three quarterfinal in two straight games. The Thunder opened the series via a tight 5-4 triumph in the July 11 opening game in Langley.

The Port Coquitlambased Bandits posted back-to-back victories over the Valley Rebels and, as a result, leapfrogged their Abbotsford foes into first place in the eight-team West Coast Senior ‘B’ lacrosse league standings. On Saturday, the Bandits’ Ryan Mosdell played hero, knotted the score with three minutes left then clutching up for the winner with just one tick remaining to give Tri-City a thrilling 6-5 triumph at PoCo Rec Centre. Andrew Murphy collected two goals and four assists to pace the Bandits, who got a goal and two helpers from Coquitlam Jr. ‘B’ call-up Steven Neufeld. Ryan McNabb also struck net for the winners, who got a 35-save performance from goalie Andrew Leyshon. On Friday, Murphy and Cam Appels
pumped in three goals apiece as the Bandits thumped the Rebels 11-4 in Abby. Curtis Sim added two tallies for Tri-City, with singles going to Darren McEwen, Jordan Wong and Justin Hawksbee. Brandon Atherton collected three assists for the Bandits, with goalie Chad Miller blocking 31 shots. The victories boosted the Bandits to 13-4-0-1, good for 27 points and a one point margin over the Rebels and two up on the Ladner Pioneers heading into this week’s action. Next, the Bandits host the 2-14-0-1 North Shore Indians at 8 p.m. on Saturday at PoCo Rec Centre, then wrap up regular-season play Monday night in Port Moody versus the 11-70-1 Thunder. The Bandits are aiming for their fifth straight B.C. provincial title and their eighth in the last nine years. The President’s Cup national championship is set to begin Aug. 27 in Edmonton.
Fury fine with silver Despite a great run for gold, the PoCo Fury girls Under-17 soccer side settled for silver at the 2012 B.C. Provincial B Cup last weekend in Kelowna. The Fury were trimmed 2-1 in the final by the Nanaimo Impact, whom they fell to in double overtime in the Coastal Cup earlier this season.
T he Fury opened tourney play with an 8-0 romp over South Kootenay, with Kelsa Lefebvre striking for four goals. They then handled North Vancouver 3-0 before rolling to a 6-0 triumph over Nelson, finishing round-robin play with 17 goals and none against, thanks to three Aneet Sandhu shutouts.

Gudmund Lindbjerg’s run is finally over. But what a glorious run it was. The four-time reigning champion from Port Moody was dethroned by hometown favourite Sandy Harper, who knocked off Lindbjerg in a field of 72 finishers to capture the 2012 B.C. Senior Men’s Championship at Nanaimo Golf Club. A Nanaimo Golf Club member, Harper started the day seven ahead of the field, quickly stretching his lead to nine strokes after making birdie on the par 5, 500-yard first hole compared with a bogey from Lindbjerg. “I started out with a good
birdie on one and then got another one on the sixth hole,” Harper said. “I really never had that much pressure on me, so all I wanted to do was hit fairways and greens and get into a flow.” Harper would give both shots back on the seventh hole with a double-bogey six, his first one of the week. He would bounce right with a birdie on the par 3, 155-yard eighth hole. Similar to round two, Harper closed out his back nine with relative ease, carding a one-under 35 inward half, good enough for a three-day Championship
total 210 (72-68-70), eleven strokes ahead of his nearest competitor. Playing in his threesome were Lindbjerg and senior men’s rookie Doug Roxburgh of Vancouver. Both Lindbjerg and Roxburgh struggled on the day, posting identical sevenover-par 79’s. Lindbjerg finished with a championship total 226 (72-75-79) while Roxburgh posted 228, (75-7479) good enough for a tie for fifth and 12th respectively. “I played today with my good friend Gudmund and Doug Roxburgh, who else would you want to play with,” smiled Harper.
