Bullied girl had posted a video plea After suicide, SD43 responds with counsellors and condolences By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

In the wake of a teenager’s much publicized suicide, School District 43 said yesterday it was aware of a video in which a girl uses index cards to describe how she was bullied and provided supports to the Coquitlam high school student before she died. The district didn’t

name the Grade 10 student who attended CA B E ( C o q u i t l a m Alternative Basic Education), how long she went to school there, what supports she received, what other schools she may have attended or how she died, citing privacy issues. SD43 spokesperson Cheryl Quinton said the district was aware of a video by a girl who tells the story of how she sank into depression after being bullied and, on Wednesday night, learned she had died. see VIDEO, page 12

Della Grant surveys the pumpkins for sale on her Port Coquitlam farm — the Tri-Cities’ only pumpkin patch. This fall, her crop is down nearly 30%, which she feels is likely due to the recent warm weather and/or the dust from the construction site across the road at Dominion Triangle. Grant’s Farms offers seven variety of gourds; the Burns Road business is open every day until Halloween.

Agriculture ed. slated for Colony Farm Green group is giving proposal cautious support By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A grassy field south of Lougheed Highway in Colony Farm Regional Park could soon be home to an agricultural lab for Kwantlen Polytechnic University students studying sustainable agriculture. Two dozen students have enrolled in the Bachelor of Applied Science-Sustainable Agriculture program at Kwantlen and by 2014 they’ll likely be trading their laptops and notebooks for gloves and shovels to work in the fields at the Coquitlam park as part of their studies. The program has cautious approval from the Burke Mountain Naturalists because its small-scale, non-intrusive methods are expected to co-exist well with established wildlife; as well, the farm has been recommended to Metro Vancouver by its environmental and parks committee. The Metro Vancouver board is expected to vote on the proposal today (Friday). But as a sustainable operation that fits in well

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kwantlen Polytechnic University is seeking approval to establish a teaching lab for the study of sustainable agricultural methods at Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam. If approved by the Metro Vancouver board today (Friday), the 12-acre plot will be established on the other side of this fence in the park. with the public park, the project has support from Elaine Golds. The BMN director said her group didn’t oppose the project when it was discussed last spring but will be interested in monitoring its progress. “We were opposed to commercial farming in a public park,” Golds said. “This doesn’t sound like it. It’s a partnership with an educational institute and Metro Vancouver parks. This is to my mind is what is possibly suitable in a park.”

Meanwhile, the program’s director, Kent Mullinix, said he is looking forward to developing the farm from scratch on 12 acres west of Colony Farm Road and will work with stakeholders, including BMN and the Kwikwetlem First Nation, to ensure that it fits in with the sensitive ecosystem. “In general, we need to figure out how to conduct crop and stock production in an integrated fashion that

is ecologically sound,” said Mullinix, the director of the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security program at Kwantlen. The project is substantially smaller than a $5-million agricultural academy on 91 acres of Colony Farm land that was first proposed by Metro Vancouver — and was criticized by local environmental groups for being too large, obtrusive and ambitious. Environmental groups were concerned that

large-scale farming would chase away wildlife and reduce habitat for species such as the Lazuli bunting and barn owls, a species at risk, and that bears would be attracted to a large upick berry operation. Freda Schade, Metro Van Parks’ central area manager, said the university proposal fits in with Colony Farm’s land use plan. “It’s going to be very labour-intensive farming and modern farming that seems to appeal to young people

today,” she said. “It’s the kind of farming we had in mind for the park.” Mullinix said students will learn how to grow a variety of crops, including nuts, berries and vegetables, and may even try some small-scale animal husbandry, such as raising chickens and geese, which are good for manure and keeping down insect populations. Students will not only learn the best way of growing these fruits and vegetables but how to market the produce, he said. For the first few years, only five acres will be in development, with the idea that the farm operation would grow in complexity and size as funding becomes available. The farm would be managed by the university, with student labour, plus a co-ordinator and some additional help. Buildings will be small and low-impact, and will likely include a modular trailer for a classroom, and a shed. Machinery would also be small and low-tech, appropriate for a farm of this size but also because the soil tends to be damp and muddy, and, thus, inhospitable to large equipment. To get started, Mullinix plans to sow nitrogenrich grasses, which will then be turned under to

enhance the soil. Fruit and vegetable production won’t start until 2014, when students will translate what they learned in the classroom to field practice. Mullinix expects the program to teach students about sustainable farming practices, such as what crops do best in this region without commercial fertilizers and pesticides, and how to reduce greenhouse gases during production. “This is not just about farming,” he said. “It’s about the food system, and preparing the builders and leaders of a 21st century food system for B.C. and Canada.” Tuition fees are about $5,000 a year for the four-year degree program and Mullinix said graduates will be able be sought after for jobs in the sustainable agriculture industry. The university farm won’t rule out other farming operations for the park. Schade confirmed that incubator farms that fit in with the park could be allowed in the future. “We we have said we aren’t going to initiate anything at this time but we’re open to good ideas.” • For more information about Kwantlen’s agricultural program, visit kwantlen.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Thanks for the blood. Now, some bone marrow By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

An Anmore boy and his family are thanking their neighbours and the Port Moody soccer community for participating in a recent blood donor drive. Now, the Barnes family hopes young men between 17 and 35 years of age will step forward for an even greater act of charity: donating blood marrow. Jonathan, 11, has myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and monosomy 7 that will lead to an aggressive form of leukemia unless he can get a transplant of healthy bone marrow from a young male, the best type of

diagnosed with the rare condition and Leo was found to have the disease as well. She said the efforts of Port Moody Soccer Club raised the family’s spirits and they are hopeful a donor will be found so Jonathan can get a transplant by Christmas. “Thankful,” is how Jonathan described his feelings after friends and supporters took part in a recent blood drive at Cornerstone Community Church on Noons Creek Drive. Jonathan, who played soccer with the PoMo Panthers and attends Moody middle school, will need daily transfusions when he undergoes a

bone marrow transplant. Collecting blood now, although it won’t be used specifically by Jonathan, is a way to pay it forward. To express his thanks, Jonathan made a card and he hopes more people will come out for future blood drives in the region (see sidebar). Appointments to donate blood can be made at 1-888-2DONATE and pledges can be made “In Honour of Jonathan” and quoting the Partners for Life Community of Anmore #THECO13395.

Help for homeless The Tri-CiTy News

An array of services will be made available to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless when Grace Church hosts the Tri-Cities Connect Day next week. The event, which kicksoff Homelessness Action Week on Oct. 15, will feature a number of schools, businesses, government agencies and social organizations providing everything from hair cuts to counselling for people with mental and addiction issues. “The idea of a Connect Day was to make as many services avail-

able under one roof,” said Sandy Burpee, an organizer of the event and the chair of the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group. “The N people that come out are very grateful for the services that they find.” The simple act of getting a haircut or receiving a new pair of glasses can mean a lot for someone who is living in poverty, Burpee said. He believes that initiatives like Connect Day help create ties between homeless people and the rest of the community, bonds that can often be the first step toward finding a home or dealing with an addiction. “Outreach workers say

it takes a while to get the trust and confidence of people who are living on the streets,” Burpee said. “In my mind, it all helps and if we make a difference in the lives of one or two or three people, then it has been successful.” Burpee expects at least 75 people to attend Connect Day and everyone will be matched with a volunteer who will help prioritize the patron’s needs. Connect Day takes place on Oct. 15 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Kingsway Campus of Northside Church (2606 Kingsway Ave., Port Coquitlam).

The Oct. 16 event runs from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way) in Coquitlam. RainCity will be the operator of the new supportive housing

and emergency shelter and is currently in the process of designing and building the facility. When it is completed, the facility will provide a resources and shelter for people who are

homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. For information about the open house on the 3030 Gordon project, contact Sean Spear at 604-215-3048 or spear@ raincityhousing.org.

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given that the City of Coquitlam will be holding a Public Hearing to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws. This meeting will be held on: Date: Monday, October 22, 2012 Time: 7:00 p.m. Location: City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2 Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing, Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda.

www.coquitlam.ca/publichearing

Item 1

Address: 1313 Cartier Avenue

The intent of City of Coquitlam Heritage Revitalization Agreement Authorization Bylaw No. 4345, 2012 is to authorize the City to enter into a Heritage Revitalization Agreement with the owner of 1313 Cartier Avenue. The application would facilitate the restoration and heritage designation protection of Maison Velay, a historic Maillardville residence, and incorporate the heritage building into a new multi-unit development, consisting of five townhouse units, one of which will contain a secondary suite. Please refer to the attached map titled “1313 Cartier Avenue” for information on the location of the subject property.

Item 2

Text Amendment to the RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex Zone

The intent of Bylaw No. 4347, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to add the minimum number of required parking spaces (1.5) for Triplex and Quadruplex Residential uses into Part 7 of the Zoning Bylaw. The proposed amendments are deemed necessary to support the City’s RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex zone and to include the minimum number of required parking spaces for Triplex and Quadruplex Residential uses in Part 7 of the Zoning Bylaw.

Item 3

Text Amendment to the Secondary School Parking Requirements

The intent of Bylaw No. 4342, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to implement changes to the offstreet parking requirements for Secondary Schools. The proposed amendments would reduce the current off-street parking regulations from one (1) space for every four (4) students of school capacity to one (1) space for every seven (7) students of school capacity. If approved, the proposed amendment will accommodate the supply of parking relative to the needed demand by students and staff.

Item 4

Text Amendment for Implementation of the Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS)

The intent of Bylaw No. 4236, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to implement changes to the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 High Density Apartment Residential zones and the C-4 City Centre Commercial and C-7 Transit Village Commercial zones. The proposed amendments are deemed necessary to support the City’s Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS) and Evergreen Line ridership, and include the following: • A revised definition for “Lot Area” for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones that would include only the area within the property lines of a lot,

consistent with the definition for other zones in the Zoning Bylaw and in keeping with the general practice in other municipalities • An increase in the permitted base density (gross floor area) for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones to 2.5 times the lot area, the same base density permitted in the C-4 and C-7 zones • A revised density bonus structure system for the RM-4, RM-5, RM-6 and C-7 zones so that the financial contribution at each step would be the same as the C-4 City Centre Commercial zone and would be made towards amenities as identified in the Citywide Official Community Plan • A new provision is proposed to the density bonus provisions for all high-density zones, including the C-4, that would allow the City the option to have the amenity provided (i.e. built) as part of the development • Maximum lot coverage would be increased to 55% for the RM-4 zone and 90% for the RM-5, RM-6 and C-7 zones to encourage an urban development form, while leaving sufficient area for outdoor amenity space • Building setback requirements would be simplified and reduced for the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones to bring buildings closer to the street and improve site efficiencies, in keeping with high-density mixed use zones • Similar to the C-4 and C-7 zones, the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones would require all off-street parking to be concealed and separated from the building face by another use, if located above-grade • Similar to the C-4 and C-7 lots, the RM-4, RM-5 and RM-6 zones would allow for density to be transferred or shared among contiguous (adjoining) parcels of land, providing for greater flexibility in the design and assembly of multi-building and phased development sites • The C-7 zone would require a minimum employment-generating use of 0.25 gross floor area times the lot area for developments along North Road, Clarke Road and the future East-West Connector streets between Emerson Street and Clark Road, and Lougheed Highway and North Road, as identified in the Official Community Plan.

Item 5

Address: 3349 David Avenue

The intent of Bylaw No. 4337, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject property outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw No. 4337, 2012 from RS-2 One-Family Suburban Residential to RS-8 Large Village Single Family Residential. If approved, the application would facilitate the subdivision of the subject property into nine (9) Large Village Single Family lots.

No big deal?

■ WHAT WE THINK:

hat a difference a few months makes. Ten months ago, in the lead-up to the Port Moody provincial byelection, the first contracts tendered for the Evergreen Line were big news. A special press conference was held in January to inform Tri-City residents that $3 million in pre-construction contracts were being awarded to Surrey and Langley firms. But last week, when a much bigger angle to the story was revealed, there was little more than a tweet and a press release (and it doesn’t appear the province let Lower Mainland mayors in on the news). Perhaps it is not a shock that SNC-Lavalin was the preferred bidder to design, build and finance the Evergreen Line. After all, the company’s work with the Canada Line is well known. Still, it is surprising the province didn’t make a bigger deal of the long-awaited announcement.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Do you expect your daily commute will be affected by Evergreen Line construction?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:

Do you think Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody are generally tolerant and accepting places?

RESULTS: Yes 73% / No 27%

It’s time: Coquitlam needs its own museum OPINION Coq. Heritage Society The following opinion piece was submitted by the board of the Coquitlam Heritage Society. The board members are: Hazel Postma (chair), John Perry (vice-chair), Pat Cooper, Don Cunnings, Darla Furlani, Rhian Piprell, Richard Rainey, Anna Tremere and Chris Worsley.

he BC Museums Association counts 191 museums among its members. Some are heritage homes like Coquitlam’s Mackin House Museum. Proper name notwithstanding, however, Mackin House is not a museum. Mackin House is a heritage home and while the building is a splendid asset, it is not a suitable space for a museum. A museum implies display space and exhibits; it offers the place and protection for an eclectic range of artifacts that represent a community’s history. Heritage houses are interpretative houses that are staged with artifacts to reflect a snapshot in time. With the closure of the Riverview Museum,

Coquitlam became acutely aware of the need for a comprehensive museum.The Riverview artifacts are now in storage — they have been “saved”but, sadly, they are of no particular use to us if they are tucked away. Artifacts are valuable for what they tell us and teach us so they are, arguably, worthless unless they are accessed, displayed and contextualized. Is Coquitlam ready for a museum? Do we need one? Do we have the requisite“stuff”to fill one? Readiness implies a collective energy and desire to make it happen. It was a visit to the Surrey Museum that focused the will of the Coquitlam Heritage Society on the goal of building a museum here. Surrey is a stunning example of what a community mobilizing its resources and working with all governments and stakeholders can do. And it is not just larger communities that have succeeded in their quest for a museum. Creston (population 5,000) has a beautiful small museum and offers a wide range of programs.The museum in Princeton (population 12,131) received the makeover of a lifetime in 2011 when it doubled its square footage. Powell River (regional population 35,000) has a constellation of museums and heri-

tage buildings that tell its rich history. But Coquitlam (population 126,000) is a community with a range of historical assets and artifacts that are essentially homeless. Some of these artifacts are in basements, in churches, in storage or at Mackin House. When Surrey planned for its museum, it spent a number of years collecting and consolidating in advance. When its doors opened, the museum was replete with significant artifacts of solid historical and interpretative value. Coquitlam could do this. We know that the essential ingredients are there for us. Coquitlam Heritage Society has been working behind the scenes to secure space for a museum. Recently, we proposed to city council that the Innovation Centre (located at Pinetree and Guildford ways, next to the Evergreen Cultural Centre, and now dedicated to office space for city employees) be converted to museum space. The cost would be small, but the payback would be large.The proposal is available on our website at www.coquitlamheritage.ca. Another possibility is a purpose-built area as part of the Beedie Group’s development of the Fraser Mills site.

There are other options that could be explored. A dual-purpose museum and Francophone community centre located in the heart of historic Maillardville might make sense. It would honour this unique and founding part of our heritage and also be a cultural investment opportunity that would appeal to all levels of government.The attraction of re-purposing a building on the Riverview site is compelling. East Lawn comes to mind. There is a case to be made, though, for thinking smaller. Secure a small store-front or corner of an existing building and start with modest display space as we plan for a secure future. This could be accomplished with a temporary location that would give the society the time to consolidate the artifacts and begin the careful planning for a permanent home.This is perhaps the most realistic and achievable plan of all. Coquitlam Heritage Society is not short on ideas but we can’t move forward without support from our community. It is time. Coquitlam residents deserve to have their heritage preserved in a dedicated and sustainable way. We need a museum.

FACE TO FACE: Should the feds only employ prison chaplains who are Christian?

Measure will save us money A

s the lefties often like to tell us, 60% of Canadians didn’t vote for the Conservative party in the last federal election. Unfortunately for the rest of us, those 60% often like to blow every little thing the Harper government does way out of proportion. Case in point: the government’s decision to axe the contracts of all part-time prison chaplains in federal institutions. The Tories have announced that as of March 2013, they will cancel the contracts of 31 part-time Christian chaplains and 18 non-Christian chaplains as part of an overhaul of the prison faith counselling model. The new model — which is also used in Canada’s armed forces — will include 80 paid full-time chaplains and a network of approximately 2,500 volunteer chaplains who provide religious services to the correctional system. While all but one of the paid chaplains will be Christian faith, they’ll be expected to provide multi-faith counsel and advice to all inmates. This is prudent move that will save taxpayers’ $1.3 million a year while at the same time continuing to serve the spiritual needs of convicted felons. But somehow, according to the 60%, the Harper government is

ANDY RADIA

“promoting Christianity over other religions.”All of the sudden, the 60% have become concerned about the religious rights and freedoms of our nation’s murderers, rapists, pedophiles, armed robbers and hooligans. Let’s be clear: The remaining chaplains are professionals who are more than capable of providing spiritual advice to the 15,000 individuals currently in federal custody. Those inmates not comfortable with the paid chaplains have the option of seeking the counsel of one of over 2,500 volunteer chaplains of different faiths. So, what is the issue here? Canadians are part of more than 40 religions across this nation: from Anglicans to Doukhobors to Zoroastrians. Do Canadians really want to fund prison chaplains for every single faith? That’s certainly not something I want my tax dollars going towards. Let’s not make this mole hill into a mountain. It’s not about religious freedom or the separation of church and state, and it’s certainly not about forcing all prisoners into Christianity. It’s simply a prudent, fair and costsaving measure by a fiscally conservative Conservative government.

“Do Canadians really want to fund prison chaplains for every single faith?” Andy Radia

vs.

“It is neither fair nor appropriate to ask Christian chaplains to dispense religious counsel to Christian prisoners while just sprinkling a little secular advice on the heathen now and then.” Jim Nelson What’s your take on this week’s Face to Face topic and what they have to say? Email your thoughts to newsroom@tricitynews.com.

State shouldn’t sanction 1 faith “F

orgive me, Father, for I have sinned. And I know I gotta fry for it,” says the stoic con from his death row cot. A whitecollared priest comforts the shackled prisoner, his wayward childhood friend who chose the wrong path and now faces the chair… It makes a good movie scene but, in real life, Canadian taxpayers have been paying for such chaplain services in our prisons. But now, according to Minister of Public SafetyVic Toews, only Christian chaplains can counsel the caged. Minister Toews recently cancelled the contracts of 49 prison chaplains, including all non-Christian ones, leaving only Christian chaplains to hereafter minister to the spiritual needs of Canadian prisoners: from non-believers to Hindus, Muslim to Wiccans. The firings were Toews’ exasperated response to a recent request from a witchy B.C. prisoner for a Wiccan chaplain to be appointed for her spiritual support. Apparently, Toews was confident that this pagan request would be enough to convince Canadians that firing all but Christian prison chaplains is a reasonable response. It isn’t. Keep chaplains of all faiths or fire them all but firing all but the

Christians is downright scary. It is neither fair nor appropriate to ask Christian chaplains to dispense religious counsel to Christian prisoners while just sprinkling a little secular advice on the heathen now and then. While being Christian doesn’t disqualify a chaplain from empathizing with non-believing cons or prisoners of other faiths, taxpayers shouldn’t pay for it. Of many good American ideas, arguably their best was separating church from state so that neither body could unduly influence the other. And“other”has been Canada’s fastest growing faith group in the last 10 years (up 72.5%) and“no affiliation” the next fastest growing group (up 44%); Christianity in that time has grown 1.5%. But regardless of how many adherents a faith or no-faith group has, it is inappropriate to sanction one to the exclusion of others. Those most Christian among us know that religious freedom demands defending minority faiths from majority faiths. Christianity can flourish without allowing it anywhere near government. If we actually need a one-size-fitsall prisoner support structure, the one size should be non-denominational, not born of a government minister’s favoured religion.

Funds needed Traffic calming for Parkside Dr. for overpass improvement By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Moody will apply for a grant to help pay for sidewalk and bike lane improvements to the Moody Street overpass. The narrow overpass has a sidewalk on only one side and it is often crowded with cyclists and pedestrians. Pedestrian overpasses at each PoMo Evergreen Line station were part of the city’s 32 requirements for accepting the line but the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has denied funding for such a project. “What we’re talking to the provincial government about is if you’re not going to do [pedestrian overpasses] at the SkyTrain stations, then let’s find another program where you have grant funding available because we feel a promise has been broken,” said Mayor Mike Clay. An engineering consultant presented three options for upgrading the Moody Street overpass sidewalk, two of which involved widening it with concrete and rebar designs that would expand it to up to 2.04 m. The third option incorporates lighter materials and more modern design,

resulting in a sidewalk of 3.44 metres between hand rails. Staff are recommending the latter option as it provides room for twoway cycling and pedestrian traffic. “Given the proximity to Rocky Point Park and the pending Evergreen Line Moody Centre Station, and as a key component of the city’s east-west cycling network, Scenario 3 has been selected for further design advancement as it offers the highest value to the community,” the staff report stated. Staff estimated the total cost of the project at just over $1.3 million. If the application is successful, the Gateway Program Cycling Plan grant could provide up to half that. The remaining $650,000 would come from development levies of $400,000; a source for the last $250,000 would be determined in the 2013 budget process, according to the staff report presented at Tuesday’s council meeting. Clay said the sidewalk improvements wouldn’t affect plans to seismically upgrade the overpass; that $500,000 project is currently slated as a 2014 capital expenditure. “It’s probably logical to do it all at the same time if we can,”Clay said.

Kolompar released ahead of immigration hearing The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam man who pleaded guilty to multiple fraud charges last week will be released from custody pending an immigration hearing in November that will determine whether he can remain in the country. Gyula Kolompar, who was sentenced to time served and 18 months probation for four counts of fraud and one count of theft from mail, is not a flight risk, according to Immigration and Refugee Board member Leeann King. IRB spokesperson Melissa Anderson said because the 47-year-old is a convention refugee, he can’t be immediately removed from Canada and there is no reason for him to skip out on the admissibility hearing. “[King] said in her decision that she had not seen enough evidence that he is unlikely to appear for an immigration hearing,” Anderson said. “As a convention refugee, he knows he can’t be removed from Canada.” Kevin Boothroyd, a lawyer for the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration Canada lawyer, disagreed. He pointed to the fact that Kolompar fled to Ontario while facing fraud charges in British Columbia as evidence he does not intend to participate in the proceedings. But Kolompar’s lawyer, Marvin Klassen, op-

and sentenced to time served, while Attila Kolompar was apprehended in Calgary and has an immigration proceeding of his own. Gyula Kolompar Sr. first came to Canada in 2000, arriving in Montreal before moving to Coquitlam, where he has lived for the last couple of years.

A report on the inaugural Port Moody Youth Arts Festival detailed the summer event’s highlights and where it can improve next year. The three-member sub-committee of Richard Dixon, Susan Ius and Coun. Gerry Nuttall spearheaded the festival but Nuttall wrote in a report to council that it was volunteers who made the event a success, from the professional programs to those staffing the four-night festival. Suggestions for improving next year’s event included more details on the number and size of visual art submissions and for the duration of live performances, as well as providing live entertainment in the Galleria during intermissions. Nuttall said the festival came in well under its $10,000 budget at just over $5,100.

When he was taken into custody last spring following a routine traffic stop, he did not hesitate to provide Ontario police with his real name. He also applied for social assistance while living back east, further evidence, his lawyer said, that showed he was not trying to evade detection. There are several conditions to his release. His family must provide a $1,500 cash bond and he must report weekly to the Canada Border Services Agency. He also cannot move out of his Coquitlam home without prior approval from the agency. Last March, Kolompar was one of three men being sought by the Coquitlam RCMP on warrants related to a fraud ring that led to the

The first time Aaron Leckie participated in the Coquitlam River Cleanup, he was shocked at the amount of garbage collected by the volunteers. These days, he is less surprised by the volume of trash recovered from the waterway and actually believes the problem is getting worse. During the 2011 cleanup, more than 500 bags of garbage were collected and Leckie expects next weekend’s event to be the same. “People aren’t getting the message,” said L e c k i e , wh o a l o n g with Riverside Fly and Tackle shop owner Garry Elgear, organizes the annual cleanup. “It is not surprising to me anymore. It seems to be getting worse.” Next weekend, volunteers armed with tongs and plastic bags will be organized into groups, with each team given a different section of the river to focus their efforts. The kinds of garbage volunteers find along the river can vary. Tires, furniture and household items are common and Leckie said participants have even found pieces from abandoned marijuana grow operations.

Last year, volunteers collected more than 500 bags of garbage found strewn along the shoreline of the Coquitlam River. Smaller items, including six pack holders and shopping bags, can actually pose big problems and are a hazard to spawning fish and birds, he added. “Some people just use it as a dumping ground,” he said. “It is not healthy for the river.” The Coquitlam River Cleanup takes place on Oct. 21 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Those who wish to participate should meet at the Riverside Fly and Ta c k l e s h o p ( 2 8 4 7 Shaughnessy St., Port Coquitlam) prior to the start of the event.

1st Treatment

• Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

Murray Street changes allow a more diverse range of biz By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Business owners and Port Moody residents spoke in favour of a zoning amendment that would allow athletic studios and animal daycares on Murray Street. “I think we need to promote small business in Port Moody and certainly Murray Street has had its difficulties, so I hope we can move forward,” Barry Sharbo told city councillors at Tuesday’s public hearing

on the amendment. Sharbo, who owns property in the light-industrial zone, has been spearheading a group called the Waterfront Community Interest Group hoping to transform the area in front of Rocky Point Park into a pedestrian-friendly, highdensity waterfront neighbourhood. Two owners of personal fitness businesses also spoke in favour of the change, saying Murray Street offers an affordable location and

an opportunity to revitalize an area littered with vacancy signs. Staff recommended the zoning amendment to its M-1 light industrial zone after receiving several business licence applications for athletic studios on Murray Street. Similar businesses on nearby Spring Street had to shut down after their properties were bought and demolished to make way for the Evergreen Line. The change, which was unanimously ap-

proved by council, will affect all 13 M-1 properties in the city, which are clustered around Murray Street. Coun. Diana Dilworth said it is a positive change for Port Moody given its influx of young families and its reputation for being a “hub for health and wellness.” Mayor Mike Clay said Wednesday the zoning change won’t affect the ongoing official community plan update for the area. spayne@tricitynews.com

Community TV requests funds Council will consider a request from Tri-Cities Community Television for a grant of $10,000 to film next year’s centennial events. Vi d e o p r o d u c e r Geoff Scott made the request as a delegation

at Tuesday’s meeting, noting the funds will help pay for high-definition video cameras. The group has already received $3,500 from the Coquitlam Foundation to produce the Arts in Coquitlam segment

while Port Coquitlam has donated $2,500 to develop the group’s strategic plan. It’s also waiting for word on a $5,000 Spirit Grant from Coquitlam. Coun. Zoe Royer offered her support for the funding, say-

ing Scott and his volunteers have donated countless hours to filming local events and that a centennial celebration video would be a valuable promotional tool well into the future. spayne@tricitynews.com

New pipes are needed Coquitlam homeowners wanting to redevelop their property will now have to update the underground service pipes too. Last week, city council approved a new demolition permit policy that calls for older sanitary and storm connections — i.e., those made of clay, etc. — be replaced by the developer with PVC. As well, water pipes older than 30 years will also have to be changed by the city during the construction phase. Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering and public works, said city staff consulted the Urban Development Institute on the proposed procedures and no concerns were raised. Several Metro Vancouver municipalities require mandatory replacement of all services when a redevelopment happens — no matter how old the pipes are, according to Susak’s Oct. 1 report.

IN QUOTES

Paul Ballard will be following in his grandfather’s footsteps next week when he hits the pool for the Legacy Swim next Wednesday. Ballard’s granddad was Dave Wood, the man who, on his 83rd birthday in 2009, swam 83 lengths at the Hyde Creek rec centre pool in Port Coquitlam to raise money for soccer camps Ballard, a former Trinity Western University soccer star, had helped start in South Africa. Wood, who started swimming in the 1980s after undergoing several heart surgeries, followed that first feat with 84 laps in 2010 and 85 in 2011; he was aiming for 86 laps this year but fell ill with cancer. Wood died on June 25 and his family set up a legacy fund in his honour. On Oct. 17, Ballard will be swimming in four two-hour blocks throughout the day (starting at 6 and 10 a.m., 2 and 5:30 p.m.); two cousins have promised to join him, and some aunts and uncles are planning a relay

“I don’t know how many laps I’ll end up doing. I’m not a swimmer but I’m committing to just giving this to my grandpa in his remembrance.” Paul Ballard during the final block to cheer Ballard on. “I don’t know how many laps I’ll end up doing,” he said. “I’m not a swimmer but I’m committing to just giving this to my grandpa in his remembrance.” The public is welcome to watch the swim at Hyde Creek; a reception is scheduled for 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. This year’s swim will raise money for Athletes in Action’s work in Bulembu, Swaziland.

“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

Coq. houses of worship, other non-profits to get tax exemptions By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

A number of nonprofit groups and churches in Coquitlam are expected to get their prayers answered with a break in property taxes next year. The tax exemptions

for 49 properties — city council last week gave three readings to a new five-year bylaw — translate to $927,567, or 0.85% of the tax base in 2013. Tax relief is set to be granted to 30 places of worship, nine residential care facilities, five

Cause of fire at Coq. co-op ‘suspicious’ Fire started outside of building; site is slated for redevelopment By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

A fire at the Hoy Creek Housing Co-op Wednesday night is being treated as suspicious, with investigators believing it may have been intentionally set. Coquitlam Fire and Rescue crews arrived shortly after 8:30 p.m. and began fighting the blaze, which they were able to contain to the outside of one of the units on the north side. The ignition point on the exterior wall of the building is unusual, according to Fire Chief Tony Delmonico, and investigators are continuing to examine the debris. “At this point, we are going to be calling it suspicious,” he said. “It is an unusual starting point on the north side of the

building.” Delmonico estimated that the damage would cost between $25,000 and $45,000 to repair and said he was happy with how quickly his firefighters were able to contain the blaze. Crews were on standby for most of the evening in case the fire flared up again but the two occupants of the 14-unit building were allowed to return to their homes. In February, The TriCity News reported that members of the co-op at Glen Drive and Johnson Street were in a pre-application process for a plan to sell off two corner properties to developers for construction of two 20-storey towers. The proceeds of the sale would be used to re-build the Hoy Creek Co-op building. A leaky roof and bad plumbing have plagued the 30-year-old housing project, which has had to close many of the units because of water damage. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

recreational lands and five non-profit organizations — most of which have not pay property taxes in previous years. City council is expected to give the bylaw fourth and final reading at a later date. Last year, the city retooled its permissive

taxation exemption bylaw after council told city managers it wanted to rethink how the city doles out tax breaks, saying homeowners and businesses shoulder too much of the burden. As a result of the revision, the city eliminated the Earl Haig Society

from its list as it no longer meets tax-exemption criteria for the retirement residence it operates off Austin Avenue. The society will have three years to make the adjustment, according to a city staff report. Still, the city added a new request this

year: the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living will get a break equalling $4,054 for its two licensed residential care centres (another request, from the Red Door Housing Society for its two low-income housing complexes, was denied as it doesn’t offer as-

sisted living services and is not registered with the province). Under the province’s Community Charter, municipal councils have until Oct. 31 to pass a bylaw to exempt properties for the following year. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Port Moody’s Golden Spike Days are one of the Tri-Cities’ biggest annual events and they don’t happen without a great deal of planning and work by volunteers. That work has already begun for the 2013 edition of the festival — taking place during the city’s 100th birthday — and the Golden Spike Days Festival Society is holding its annual general meeting this month. The AGM is set for 7 p.m. Oct. 17 in the Parkview Room at PoMo city hall. The society is looking for volunteers to become part of the board of directors, which includes an executive consisting of president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary as well as 10 directors who oversee all aspects of the festival, such as entertainment, events, marketing, sponsorship and fundraising. If you have questions, call 604- 931-8852 or email office@goldenspikedays.bc.ca. Membership in the society costs $5.

Can can you dance? In preparation for an exciting year in Port Moody, the Golden Spike Can Can Dancers are now accepting new members. Port Moody’s Centennial is in 2013 and the Golden Spike Can Can Dancers plan to be part of the celebrations. The dancers are a group of women who volunteer their time to practising and dancing in order to raise money for charities. They have performed at the Golden Spike Days Festival in Port Moody for 35 years and throughout the rest of the year, members perform and make appearances at fundraisers, casino nights, golf tournaments, seniors’ centres and other special events. From the donations the group accepts for its performances, proceeds go to a charity that is chosen by the group at the beginning of the year. Membership in the Golden Spike Can Can Dancers is free and practices are held on Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. in Port Moody. Members must be 19 years of age or older as the group performs at licensed drinking establishments — but there is no maximum age. For more information about membership or to book the group for an upcoming event, email goldenspikecancandancers@hotmail.com.

Cats notch second win of season struggling team looks to get season back on track By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Th e Po r t M o o dy Black Panthers will look to start their climb out of the Pacific Junior Hockey League basement on Saturday when the Mission City Outlaws come to town. The Cats, who notched their second win of the season on Sunday in a 2-1 bout against the Grandview Steelers, have sputtered on offence and struggled to keep goals out of their net. But on Sunday, the team was able to buckle down defensively, in large part thanks to the play of goalie Angus Redmond, who stopped 33 of 34 shots he faced. The 17-year-old netminder, who has played four games with the Cats this season, improved his save percentage to .905 with a goals against average of 4.62. Port Moody also seemed to find its groove offensively, with goals from Fraser Sutherland, who was named first star of the game, and Martin Campbell. Campbell opened the scoring in the second period on a

feed from Bryden Luscombe two minutes into the frame. T h e S t eelers CAmPBell responded with a goal from Liam Fordy 12 minutes later but Cats forward Fraser Sutherland sealed the deal for Port Moody with a powerplay marker midway through the third. The Cats were not as lucky on Saturday, when the club lost to the Ridge Meadows Flames at the Port Moody Arena. The visitors poured on the shots, notching 39 before the third period began. By the end of the game Port Moody goalie Zachary Station stopped 42 of 47 for a save. The Cats dug a hole early, surrendering three goals to the Flames before they could get on the board.

SFU Clan receiver Bobby Pospischill tries to get away from Azusa Pacific coverage after pulling down a pass in the first half of their NCAA Div. II football game, Saturday at Terry Fox Field.

Back-to-back wins for SFU football By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Lemar Durant scored a 14yard touchdown as the Simon Fraser University Clan football team savaged Azusa Pacific 66-38 on Saturday night. The win was the squad’s second consecutive conference victory at home this season and is one of the most lopsided scores since

the team entered the NCAA. Both teams started strong but SFU began to pull away after retaking the lead with 4:31 in the half, when Durant scored a 14-yarder to make it 23-17 at the half. Defensive player Kyle Miller said that while the team had a strong game on offense, they could have done a better job of keeping Azusa out of SFU’s end zone.

“We played well tonight but there is no way they should have scored as many points as they did,” he said. “It will be important to focus as the season continues and make fewer errors on our own.” The Clan will be back in action on Saturday, in Ellensburg, Wash., where they will take on Central Washington University. sports@tricitynews.com

The Coquitlam Raiders improved their record to 6-0 after a dominating 48-0 victory against the White Rock Titans on Sunday at Mackin Park in junior bantam football. Jason Dongalen led the offence with 147 yards rushing and three touchdowns, while Jeremy Kankolongo chipped in with a 35-yard punt return for a touchdown and five converts. Tavian Williams also scored on a 40-yard pass and run play, while the defence kept the Triton’s receivers from cracking the end zone. The team will take on the New Westminster Hyacks this Sunday at Mackin Park field.

Are fishing rules chasing tourists away from B.C.? TIGhT LINeS Jeff Weltz Visitors head to U.S. for fishing? “When I asked Nehring why this was a problem… he nodded his head toward some anglers on the other side of the river — a group I’d been eyeing since I arrived. Every one of them, it seemed, had a personal guide, but I hadn’t seen anyone catch anything yet. Nehring estimated that every one of them had paid $2,000 or $3,000 for three days on the river and he seemed to think that if they could afford that, they probably had careers that prevented them from spending every day fishing.” -Anders Halverson. Passage from An Entirely Synthetic Fish

his past week I received a report from a colleague, who is in the business of providing lodging for tourists and anglers

Lower Mainland lakes are fishing well and anglers should take advantage of decent weather while it lasts. wanting to enjoy the beauty of the Thompson and Nicola River valleys. A party of European tourists arrived last week wanting to catch some steelhead and view the local sights of interest. With luggage, tackle, money to spend, and all appropriate licenses in hand, they inquired about fishing the famous Thompson. Upon hearing that the river is closed to fishing until further notice, the European guest left for the U.S. After hearing this, one has to ask:“How often does this happen and are we open for business or not? We say we are the greatest place on earth but I wonder if that group of guests would agree?” Over the last few

weeks I have made my point on the state of salmon and steelhead management in our province. That being done, I believe it is time for me to let this one rest... for now.
