A soft market for retail space could delay development planned for Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle. In a letter to the city of Port Coquitlam, Onni Group development manager Jamie Vaughan said despite the company’s efforts over the last three years, market conditions have made it difficult to find tenants for the commercial properties. The company is currently developing a retail centre in the Dominion Triangle, anchored by Walmart and Canadian Tire. When it is completed, the project will boast more than 650,000 sq. ft. of commercial space for both large and medium-format retailers. As part of the devel-

opment, the company is required to build a promenade in what is called the “lifestyle centre” at Fremont Village. This construction consists of an 18 m wide road with sidewalks on either side and at least one tree every 9 m. Onni says it intends to complete the project but is asking the city to allow construction of the buildings and surrounding amenities to be phased in over time, Vaughan said. see ONNI, page A9

New Port Mann to open Dec. 3: union Bus drivers say they’ve been notified of opening By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Led by principal Petra Kintzinger and student bell ringers — including Manvir Tagger (Grade 3) — kids and staff of James Park elementary school in Port Coquitlam paraded from their old school to its replacement on Monday morning and toured the building. Tuesday was expected to be the first full day of classes in the $14.8-million replacement school.

The new Port Mann Bridge may officially open with eight lanes on Dec. 3, although transportation ministry officials won’t confirm the date circulated by the bus drivers’ union. Canadian Auto Workers Local 111 president Don MacLeod said the union was notified drivers will be required to run the new Highway 1 rapid bus service,

which is promised to be in place on opening day of the new bridge. “My understanding is the first Monday in December,”he said. A ministry spokesman said the bridge’s official opening date will be announced in the coming weeks, giving drivers enough notice of the traffic pattern change and the date tolling will start. There have been no difficulties with construction and work remains on schedule for an eightlane opening sometime in December as planned, the spokesperson said. see HIGHWAY 1, page A6

SD43 sends letter to parents on bullying & resources Talk about proper internet use: SD43 Letters went home this week to Tri-City public school students providing links to resources about bullying and suicide. The letter, signed by

School District 43 superintendent Tom Grant, acknowledged the death of Grade 10 CABE student Amanda Todd and extended heartfelt condolences to the girl’s family and others touched by this tragedy. It recommended parents watch for changes in behav-

iour and signs of stress in children, and opening dialogue if there’s a problem. “We ask that you talk to them about bullying, appropriate internet use and how they are feeling,” Grant wrote. “If you are concerned about your child’s welfare,

Amanda Todd vigils: see page A13 please talk to a school staff member or seek help from other community support services.” The school district is following up on every reported case of bullying

and will attempt to seek resolutions, the letter further added, and will continue to provide programming and support for bullying and suicide awareness.

“Staff will be watchful for signs of increased anxiety,” the letter also stated. As well, the district will be working with the community to increase dialogue about a collaborative approach to this issue. Grant’s letter sug-

gested that Amanda’s legacy should be a lack of tolerance for bullying and the banding together of caring people to create a positive impact on their community. • The letter is available on the district’s website at www.sd43.bc.ca dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

From old to new: school & schooling Latest edition of James Park school opens in PoCo By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

They didn’t have a time machine but students at Port Coquitlam’s James Park elementary school travelled 100 years in a few minutes Monday morning. One minute, they were standing in their wellworn gym singing “O Canada” and watching a video slideshow of school photos dating back to 1912; the next, they were walking into the brand new James Park, with its shiny floors, open concept and environmentally sensitive landscaping. “Ooh, I’m definitely excited,” said Gavin Jo h n s o n , a G r a d e 1 student, while he waited to be let into the $14.8-million gold LEED (Leadership in Environmental Design) school for the first time. Led by students ringing the school’s original handbell, staff and students from kindergarten to Grade 5 walked from their cinderblock, 50 yearold building to the new one built to the latest seismic standards. Students checked out their new classrooms, explored the removable walls and glassed-in study rooms, listened to the classroom sound systems, washed their hands in their sinks, visited the washrooms and played in the gym, with its high ceilings and large picture windows looking out to coastal mountains. One highlight had to be the new metal troughlike sinks outside the boys’ and girls’ wash-

diane strandberg/the tri-city news

James Park elementary has been on the same property for 100 years. During centennial celebrations, alumni and students wrote their names on the cinderblock walls (above). The new building (top left) is landscaped (left) using river rock to simulate streams and concrete downspouts for rain water that give the impression of trees. Among the school’s features is sinks in hallways (top right) where students can wash their hands. Top centre, learning support teachers Debra Vanderwood and Michelle Ciolfitto unpack boxes.

rooms, so kids can wash together and get help from an adult if they need it. Many tried it out but one boy couldn’t quite reach the taps. “He’s going to need some help,” acknowledged principal Petra Kintzinger while a teacher rushed to his aid.

In addition to the plethora of washing-up opportunities — each classroom has its own sink — every kindergarten class has its own washroom, she said. There’s also a large learning commons, where children can gather to work, read or

play indoors and out, and the library is open to the hallway, as well. Librarian Joanne Howey said it will take some getting used to but noted she had a classroom for desk work. Helping her with her unpacking was Jacqueline Ledet, a librarian from

Coquitlam’s Sir Frederick Banting middle school. The new building is a stark contrast to the old: Instead of the traditional one-storey structure with narrow concrete halls and bland linoleum, this one has two storeys, colourful flooring, lots of open spaces and wood

details. Even the outside is different, with rain gardens, multi-layered landscaping and lots of trees and grasses. “This is a very modern approach to teaching and learning,” Kintzinger said. “We have really open classes, with sliding doors, and we can move around like a regular community. “This is going to open up so kids can work together, it will open up their learning,”she said. But while the kids are now learning the new building, the old building

isn’t headed for the scrap heap; materials that can be saved will be recycled — and the memories will live on. One of the last acts of the students and alumni in the old building was to write their names on the walls. “I think the kids understand there won’t be graffiti in the new building,” Kintzinger joked. A formal ceremony to open the new James Park school will occur sometime in the coming months. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Single mobile licence Fall is here proposed for Tri-Cities don’t forget Extra fee would be split 50-25-25 between 3 cities By Janis Warren ThE Tri-CiTy NEws

Tri-City businesses that operate in all three cities may soon pay a single flat fee to set up shop. A local task force is recommending entrepreneurs and tradespeople — i.e., contractors, landscapers, restorers and caterers — shell out $165 on top of their annual business licence for a mobile business permit. Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge, who pitched the idea at Monday’s councilin-committee meeting along with fellow task force members — Port Coquitlam Coun. Mike Forrest and Port Moody Coun. Diana Dilworth — said a single mobile business licence would not only make it easier for companies to do business but municipalities would benefit, too. And the three cities would likely see better compliance with licence requirements, Hodge said, citing the example of the Okanagan-Similkameen, which has seen a 30% rise in compliance since it started its mobile licence program in 2007 with 19 participating municipalities and regional districts. The cost for an OkanaganSimilkameen mobile licence is $150. Hodge, a past president of the Tri-Cities’ Chamber of Commerce and photographer, said mobile licences are separate from a regular business licence and holders must adhere to the bylaws in each community. The task force worked with the provincial government to come up with a revenue-splitting formula

Chance to serve city

Coquitlam residents wanting to shape their community next year can sign up for a civic committee. The city is accepting applications for volunteers to serve on committees such as arts and culture, family court and youth justice, multiculturalism, sport, sustainability and environment, universal access-ability, and the library board. Candidates are asked to fill out a form and submit a resume by Friday, Nov. 9. For more information, visit www.coquitlam.ca or email the clerk’s office at committeeclerk@coquitlam.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

for the Tri-Cities’ pilot program, he said. It has suggested Coquitlam receive CRAIG HODGE half of the mobile licence pot at the end of the year while PoCo and PoMo get a quarter each to avoid

any revenue loss. A similar formula is also being proposed for the Fraser Valley, which would be handy should the TriCities join that region for mobile licensing at a later date, Hodge told The TriCity News on Tuesday. According to the task force study that focused specifically on the construction industry, 1,226

contractors last year took out business licences in the Tri-Cities but only 154 of them had multiple licences, which brought in about $69,000 for the three cities. With the planned $165 flat fee, Hodge expects Coquitlam would likely see a 5% boost to its licensing revenues while PoCo and PoMo would gain 11% each. Asked by Coun. Lou Sekora if the program would add staff time and costs, Forrest said if that’s an issue at the end of the pilot project, changes will be made. The task force is expected to go before PoCo and PoMo city councils in the next month; if bylaws are adopted at each city, the mobile licences would be in effect starting Jan. 1, 2013 and the program would be managed by the province’s mobile business registry. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Results from Port Moody’s official community plan workshop are in and it appears the community is willing to accept more housing density — on a limited scale — around future Evergreen Line stations. At the June 16 design charette, 44 participants — a mix of developers, community groups and residents — developed a vision for the areas surrounding each of the two stations, as well as a po-

tential third station. Given the proxi m i t y of the Newport MIKE CLAY Vi l l a g e and Suter Brook developments, many participants acknowledged there is little appetite for further densification around the Ioco station. Coronation Park, however, was identified as an area “ready for sensitive infill” that could transition the neighbourhood from single family homes to townhouses and duplexes.

Commuters and commercial vehicles could be using the new Port Mann Bridge to cross the Fraser River as early as Dec. 3.

Highway 1 rapid bus service expected to be in operation continued from front page

The remaining two of 10 lanes would open about a year later because of after work is completed to dismantle the old bridge and its approaches. The bridge will be free for the first week it’s open before half-price tolls of $1.50 per standard vehicle kick in. The discount from regular $3 tolls ends March 1 for drivers who don’t register with the Treo electronic tolling system by then. Those who do register lock in the discount for one year and those who sign up before December also get a credit for 20 free crossings. The new bridge is to restore transit service to the corridor, which hasn’t seen a Coast Mountain bus in decades

due to congestion. TransLink kept the planned Port Mann bus service in the latest version of its 2013 plan in September even though mayors have vowed to rescind a $30-million property tax hike and press the province to replace it with a different source of revenue. “It is TransLink’s intention to have this ser-

vice in place for when the bridge opens but we do not have an opening date yet,” spokesperson Debbie Parhar said. “We are getting prepared but there have been no assignments or driver signup yet.” The planned rapid bus service will be scaled back from what was originally envisioned due to declining TransLink

revenue. The buses were to run over the new bridge every 10 minutes all day; now, they’ll only run every 10 minutes in the morning and afternoon peaks and be cut to every 30 minutes at off-peak times. The buses will go from Langley to Braid Station, not to Lougheed Station, as previously planned. jnagel@blackpress.ca

‘Lowlifes’ steal PoCo woman’s Halloween yard decorations Elderly woman saved up to buy figures for the kids By Sarah Payne ThE Tri-CiTy NEws

A Port Coquitlam pensioner has taken down her annual Halloween display after two large pieces were stolen last week in the dead of night. The two large, inflatable displays — one includes a dead tree, skull, tombstone and bats while the other was a large ghost — were in the front yard of Heather Thomas’ Manning Street home until Thursday night. She figures they were taken sometime between 1:30 and 5 a.m. on Oct. 19, even though she was up for much of the night and the television was on. “I’ve been here for 50 years and I’ve put this display on. The little kids just love it,” Thomas said, adding she puts up similar displays at Christmas and Easter. “Those lowlifes, and I call them low-

Careful with costume The Children of the Street Society is asking parents and educators not to let kids dress up in costumes that glamourize the gang life and the sex trade. According to the Coquitlam-based group, costumes for kids are being sexualized at the same time that sexual exploitation of children and youth is increasing, particularly online. The group states in a letter to School District 43 educators that one in five young people has been sexually solicited online while 75% did not tell a parent, and child pornography offences in Canada have increased by 900%. “Dressing up in costumes that glamorize sexual exploitation or sexualizes young people only creates social acceptability and desensitization of this disturbing issue,”the letter states.

sorry, Fido Pet lovers wanting to bury an animal or its ashes in a designated cemetery in Coquitlam won’t get any sympathy from the city. This week, the city’s council-in-committee turned down a suggestion to have a piece of municipal land converted for a pet graveyard or memorial site. Last year, during a discussion about cemetery services and fees, Coun. Mae Reid raised the topic of a pet cemetery, saying owners need a place to lay their animals to rest. But on Monday, Lori MacKay, general manager of parks and recreation, said there has been no community demand to build such a facility. As well, provincial legislation bans animal remains from being interred in a human cemetery. MacKay said the city is aware many owners scattered the cremated ashes of their pets in city parks. Still, “it’s not something that’s managed,” she said. Currently, there are no municipal pet cemeteries in B.C. although a private operator has applied to the Fraser Valley Regional District to set up a pet cemetery and crematorium in Chilliwack. jwarren@tricitynews.com

People should also look out for bears coming down to the river to feed, and keep their dogs leashed on trails. • The return of the salmon also means celebrations and, on Sunday, the Hoy/Scott Watershed Society held its Salmon Come Home Festival.

A bear looking to feast on salmon provided a diversion this week for Scott Creek middle students as well as instruction on how close their school is to nature. On Monday afternoon, a bear was spotted high in a cottonwood tree in a wetland area near the school. Principal Rob Foot confirmed the bear was spotted at about 1:30 p.m. and the Coquitlam RCMP and the city’s urban wildlife coordinator were called to the scene. “We were hoping the bear would be gone before dismissal,” Foot said in an email, but when it became clear the bear wasn’t leaving, the final school bell was delayed until police arrived and students were instructed to use alternate walking routes. Drake Stephens, Coquitlam’s wildlife coordinator, said the bear was looking to feed on some salmon when it was scared and scaled the tree. It stayed until dark, when it was safe to come down. Students were never in danger and there is a 2 m fence separating the sidewalk from the riparian area. With the heavy rains,

Townhouse development in PoCo gets a second look By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

A townhouse proposal that riled neighbours in the Salisbury Avenue area of Port Coquitlam has been brought back to council after the developer made changes to the plan. The new design reduces the number of units in the development from 17 to 15 and increases the number of visitor parking spaces from four to six; the revised proposal also reduces the number of garages with tandem parking from 12 to six. Council decided to take a second look at

the townhouse development after neighbours in the area overwhelmingly opposed the project at a public hearing last month. Many residents complained the development was too big and would dramatically alter the neighbourhood, which is largely made up of single-family homes. There was also concerns that it would lead to more street parking and traffic in the area. Under Port Coquitlam’s official community plan, townhouse developments are allowed in the neighbourhood, where density is expected to increase in the coming years.

Council voted in favour of the report outlining the changes and the item is expected to go back to public hearing next month. Other PoCo news:

ADAPT & BUILD

Building regulations that would make it easier for seniors and people with changing physical needs to remain in their homes are one step closer to being approved in Port Coquitlam. During Monday’s meeting, council voted to give third reading to the adaptable housing standards bylaw, which calls for roughed-in framing for features such as

handlebars in bathrooms and wider corridors and doorways. Adaptable units would also have lever-style doors and faucet handles, lower light switches and raised plug outlets to accommodate people in wheelchairs. If the bylaw gains final approval, it would apply to 30% of housing units in PoCo buildings with 10 or more units. Mayor Greg Moore voted against the proposal because he said it did not go far enough. He said 100% of units should be convertible and fears that people will not know whether their unit is adaptable.

Onni: market conditions are unstable continued from front page

“Due to the current market conditions, we are having a difficult time finding tenants for the remaining buildings of Parcel C East,” he said. “Because of this, we do not think it is feasible to construct these buildings without tenants.” And Onni said, without tenants, the company cannot move forward with construction of the buildings because certain retailers have sitespecific requirements for their locations. Until the buildings are completed, the company said it also wants to hold off on the full construction of the promenade and lifestyle centre. “Until a tenant is found for a building, the details of the interface between the sidewalk and building are unknown,” said a city staff report to PoCo council. “Staff have no objections to the request and, from a practical perspective, concur with the developer’s opinion that

the amenities are best installed at the time of the building.” In the meantime, Onni said it will move forward with the construction of a road along Sherling Avenue and a temporary 1.5 m wide sidewalk will line the southeast side of the paved road. The company will also move forward with its landscaping plans.

In Vaughan’s letter to the city, he states Onni intends to complete the lifestyle centre when the final grouping of buildings is completed in phase 2. During Monday night’s meeting, councillors Mike Forrest and Darrell Penner sought assurances from city staff that the project would be completed as originally planned.

“I would like to know almost lock-step how this is going to be delivered,” said Forrest. “It is just not firm enough for me.” Laura Lee Richard, the city’s director of development services, said that the city holds a landscape security from the company, funds that could be used to compel the developer to abide by the original plans.

To the future

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

he $14.8-million James Park elementary school is a fine-looking structure that looks more like a college campus than a primary school, with high wood ceilings, decorative flourishes, beautiful landscaping and forward-thinking design. But as anyone will know once they take a tour, James Park isn’t just a new school — it’s a statement of where the education system is going. No longer are kids taught to be sponges in small classrooms, they must learn to be architects of their own learning. And why not? It makes a lot of sense for a building to mirror changes being wrought on the education system and the fact that the littlest students will see the benefits first makes a lot of sense. Who better than these youngsters to learn how to work together cooperatively in expandable classrooms — or classrooms with no walls at all — for they must learn how to engage with the world? Who better than these children to have access to technology and get to know it for its strengths and its weaknesses, for it will be their learning partner for life? Who better than these youngsters to enjoy beautiful landscaping with“creeks”made of river rock wetted by natural rainfall from stylish concrete siphons? These youngsters will be the planet’s environmental stewards one day. Will the transition take time? No doubt. Those high ceilings amplify sound, so it’s a noisy place to work. The kids and their teachers are used to a 50-year-old cinderblock building with narrow hallways and small, closed classrooms with doors on them. With so much open space, kids will have to learn how to modulate their own behaviour. With freedom, they’ll learn, comes responsibility. For James Park teachers, the move will mean learning new routines, figuring out how to use the new technology and the open spaces and to make them beneficial for education. But judging by opening day on Monday, many of these teachers have already made the move or are in transition. And why not? They know better than most that making the changes today will encourage an anywhere/anytime education philosophy for the learners of tomorrow.

Attack of the eco-celebrities (and sketchy science) BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA here was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday. I was disappointed, too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support. To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the“truth”about 9/11. In 2007, he declared that the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was“completely illegitimate”because“buildings don’t fall down like that.”I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him.

Star of the 1984 mermaid fantasy Splash, Hanna is now mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earth-moving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline. It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration. The southern section from Oklahoma oil storage facilities to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp. but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian“tar sands”oil that ecocelebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it. It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington, D.C., where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011. At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil sands pioneer and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims and asks why they were reported so widely and uncritically.

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

Museum is a must for the future The Editor, Re. “It’s time: Coquitlam needs its own museum” (Opinion, The TriCity News, Oct. 12) The word “museum” carries a musty echo. I conjures images of tarnished relics in glass cases, historical tidbits on small, hard-to-read plaques, an eerie silence presiding over all. Some museums are like that. But not, however, the one I work out of: Mackin House Museum in Coquitlam. There, I coordinate the Coquitlam Oral History Project, a federally funded opportunity that gives young people a chance to interview Coquitlam elders about a past that is the foundation of their present. The project is typical of what goes on “around the house.” Daily, the place hums with community connected activities of all sorts: celebrations (such as the recent 103rd anniversary of the house); crafting bees that keep remarkable pioneer skills alive; tours; a book club — the list could fill several columns here. And it all takes place in the authentically recreated interior of a 1909 house. Without lively places like Mackin House, future generations will be deprived of choice. Because, if a community ignores its heritage or simply bulldozes it into the ground, it is saying to young people: “Tough luck kid. This present we have created is all there is. So enjoy the perpetual now. It’s all you’ve got.” A museum for Coquitlam? A thought worth“musing”over. Doug Rolling, Coquitlam

R’view’s spiritual history forgotten The Editor, Re. “Draft plan plots course for Riverview” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 26). In all of the discussions and debates of the future of the Riverview Hospital lands, the emphasis is being placed upon the physical side of the territory. The conversation is mostly limited to the heritage buildings, the natural hillside landscape and the treasure trove of trees. The full ecological culture of the area is being ignored or, at least, intentionally overlooked. Reviewers of the government and the public seem to be viewing the possibilities of the future through a narrow lens and consider the vision of the cherished lands wearing blinkers. What is being lost in the review is the religious side of Riverview. When the hospital was first established in

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

The West Lawn building on the Riverview Hospital grounds in Coquitlam. the early years of the 20th century, religion played a significant role of the culture of the institution for everyone associated with it. At that time, life on the grounds was a culture based upon the healing and care, not only of the body and mind, but also of the soul. The care of the soul is not being mentioned, or even being peripherally considered, in the Riverview preservation and conservation debate documents. Over the years of the hospital’s service to the community, chaplains of a variety of denomi-

nations were an essential and significant part of the total healing and care of the institution’s every program. They served not only the patients but, also, the staff as well as many family members. Chapel facilities, including religious artifacts and icons, were all a key component of most buildings. A cemetery continues to play an integral place on the grounds along side the sanctity of Finnie’s Garden. Before any further decisions are contemplated, I believe, that the religious, sacred and spiritual sides of Riverview need to be given a much more serious profile. I encourage each and all of the reviewers to acknowledge the place that the metaphysical has in the heritage of a treasured part of the life of Coquitlam and British Columbia. David Spence, Port Moody

Vigils remember Todd LEFT: ELAINE FLEURY PHOTO; RIGHT: BLACK PRESS

Vigils were held last week in dozens of communities for Amanda Todd, the Port Coquitlam teen who committed suicide earlier this month after what she said was years of bullying. Above left, hundreds of people gathered at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park, lighting candles in Todd’s memory. Above right, about 50 people, many wearing pink, participated in a candlelight vigil outside Abbotsford city hall, where Grade 8 student Jenny Stobbart said, “Words hurt. Someone doesn’t have to die for people to realize this.”

Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil Friday evening at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam in memory of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd and other victims of bullying. Todd, 15, committed suicide two weeks ago after posting a video online detailing the relentless harassment she had endured.

Vigils were held around the world Friday and Coquitlam’s was organized by Shawna Iverson, whose daughter was in Todd’s dance class years ago. Meanwhile, a public memorial service is planned for Saturday, Nov. 17 and details are still being organized. Early reports indicated that the service would be held at

Citadel middle school in Port Coquitlam but School District 43 has not yet confirmed the details. Todd’s family, however, announced the service and set up a legacy fund in the girl’s name. Donations can be made online to the Vancouver Foundation or any RBC Canada branch under Amanda Todd’s Trust Fund. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Halloween Tips

A16 Wednesday, October 24, 2012, Tri-City News

Scary Halloween Eye Health Risks One of the main concerns Doctors of Optometry have is the potential danger associated with the use of decorative or cosmetic contact lenses.“Many people don’t realize contact lenses are medical devices,” says Dr. Surjinder Sahota, president of the BC Association of Optometrists.“And just like prescription contacts, decorative contact lens users should have their eye health examined by a Doctor of Optometry to ensure their eyes are in good health and to have the lenses properly fitted before using them.” Another concern Doctors of Optometry warn parents about is pedestrian traffic injuries.“We want kids to be safe this Halloween, and that includes being visible to motorists,” says Dr. Sahota. “BC Doctors of Optometry encourage parents to pick up free “Be Seen. Be Safe.” reflective stickers for their children’s Halloween costumes.” The reflective stickers are available to parents across the province at a BC Doctor of Optometry’s office, whose locations are listed at www. bcdoctorsofoptometry.com and are also provided to RCMP detachments. About 10 per cent of all pedestrian traffic injuries involve children six to 15 years old and occur between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Traditional Halloween activities such as trick-or-treating can be risky because there are more children on the street than usual, and they tend to be excited and pay less attention to traffic safety. Avoid decorative or cosmetic contact lenses, which may obscure vision and increase the risk of complications like eye infections. If your child is very adamant on wearing them, make sure to take them to a Doctor of Optometry for a proper eye health assessment and fitting. Have a responsible adult accompany trick-or-treaters. Use iron-on reflective fabric or tape – or pick up a “Be seen. Be safe.” reflective sticker for children’s costumes and/or coats. Don’t wear a mask, use hypo-allergenic make-up instead – children need to see where they’re going. Carry a flashlight. Don’t crisscross the street while trick-ortreating – go down one side of the street to the end, then back on the other side. Avoid costumes that restrict movement of the head, so children can still easily look both ways before crossing the street. Ensure that the path to your door is welllit for trick-or-treaters. To avoid an eye injury or vision loss, stay clear of firecrackers and sparklers and keep young children away from them. Remember to “Be seen. Be safe.” and have a Happy Halloween!

Halloween Safety Tips for Dogs Halloween brings delicious treats and ghostly fun for humans but many dogs experience fear at this time of year. Dogs become stressed due to fireworks and costumed children and may run away or become destructive by digging and chewing. There are also interesting items that your dog may explore and which puts his safety at risk. Suggests tips to keep your dog safe: 1. Increase your dog’s exercise and walk him earlier in the day before the kids are out trick-o-treating. If your dog is exhausted, she has less pent up energy in which to react to the startling fireworks and freaky costumes. 2. Pumpkin carving supplies including felt tip pens, sharp plastic or metal knives and candles and kids’ costume pieces may be enticing to dogs and cause vomiting, diarrhea or cuts to the mouth if eaten or result in choking or intestinal blockages if your dog chews or ingests the solid objects. 3. Keep your dog away from the door during trick-o-treating. Give your dog a raw bone or stuffed Kong in another room or at the very least, use a leash attached to prevent door dashes. Also avoid parks, school yards and other public spaces where fireworks may be set off. Never force your dog into an area where fireworks are being set off in attempt to flood them with the high intensity noise. 4. Make sure your dog wears an ID tag, with current information, in case she manages to escape. 5. Help your dog relax by imitating canine calming signals. Repeatedly yawning and lick-

ing your lips while sitting beside your dog mimics what dogs do to calm down themselves or another dog. 6. Leave your dog at home while accompanying trick-o-treating children. 7. Change the environment to lessen the effects of fireworks. Close outside doors to reduce sound and close curtains or blinds to reduce any flashing light show. If your dog is crate trained, line the crate with noise dampening blankets inside and out. 8. Keep chocolate treats out of your dog’s reach as chocolate contains an ingredient called theobromine which may cause vomiting, diarrhea, panting, excessive thirst, hyperactivity, tremors or even death. If candy wrappers or lollipop sticks are ingested, choking or intestinal blockages may occur. 9. If you dress your dog in a costume, make sure it doesn’t restrict his vision, hearing or movement. 10. Be mindful of discarded Halloween items strewn about your normal dog walking route, before and after the big night. 11. Watch your dog for signs of high anxiety including, panting, pacing, trembling, drooling, scratching or chewing at objects or herself, excessive barking or howling, and help your dog by remaining calm yourself. Never become angry at your dog or use verbal or physical punishment; remember, your dog is afraid and is not being disobedient.

Jennifer Shaw, a Grade 6 teacher at Port Coquitlam’s Citadel middle school, with an untitled self-portrait, a photography fantasy with butterflies. Shaw’s work has appeared in both Artists. Teaching, Artists. exhibit.

ennifer Shaw believes strongly about how the arts can play a role in classroom learning, no matter what subject or grade level. The University of B.C. graduate, who has bachelor degrees in fine arts and education, and the Grade 6 core teacher at Port Coquitlam’s Citadel middle school has helped young people with learning difficulties as well as those classified as “gifted” manage their skills through drawing, painting and other mediums. For her, “the arts is all about communication and process,” she said. “It forces kids to have patience and to think about the steps they need to do to achieve success: getting the materials ready, creating and presenting. It can have a very positive and rewarding effect.” Still,“the arts is always so undervalued and unappreciated, and it’s the first on the chopping block when it comes to funding,”she said. Shaw’s frustration over how the arts is often cutback is a common complaint with many educators. And those like Shaw, who are specially trained in the arts, are often relegated to fill other jobs in the school, leaving a creative drain for the students. “Art is so crucial in their lives,” she said. “There are people who know how to teach the arts and allow students to express themselves and gain confidence, yet they aren’t doing what they should be doing.” Shaw believes it’s im-

portant students, their parents and the community see how talented SD43 teachers are — not only in the classroom but also during their spare time. For the second year, she will have two or three pieces on the walls at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre as part of the Artists. Teaching. Artists. exhibit. The biannual non-juried display, which opens Saturday, includes works from about 38 active and retired SD43 teachers, staff and administrators, including a principal, a special needs instructor and a student

teacher. Organizer Mike McElgunn, the fine arts department head at Coquitlam’s Gleneagle secondary — arguably the most arts-focused high school in the district — said last week he won’t know what’s being submitted until the 75 to 100 pieces arrive for installation. However, as with the 2010 show, he expects there to be a considerable variety: everything ranging from ceramics and photography to mixed media and paintings (Robert Morris, a tech ed. teacher at Port Moody’s Heritage Woods secondary, will offer ink/solvent transfers on wood panels). McElgunn said such diversity will make for an interesting curating job for Astrid Heyerdahl, Evergreen’s visual arts manager. “Our goal,” he said, “is to create connections between people whose paths may not normally cross, to encourage and to celebrate the creative process and the creative endeavors of educators. “We want to recognize the importance the arts play in many people’s lives outside their daily work routines, and to share our creative sides with our students and members of the public,” he said. “This is not necessarily for teachers who teach art, but for teachers who create art personally — regardless of their specific jobs or training.” • Artists. Teaching. Artists. runs Oct. 27 to Nov. 24 at Evergreen Cultural Centre. The opening reception is Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. jwarren@tricitynews.com

What was once a storage space is now a sunny soundproofed music room for Port Moody Arts Centre students to study. Last week, the St. John’s Street facility unveiled its new “Studio 6” thanks to a $4,000 donation from the Port Moody Foundation, a philanthropic organization that hands out thousands of dollars a year to community groups. Jane Matthews, executive director of the arts centre society, said sealing off the small upstairs area to noise will allow staff to program more lessons and activities in one of the oldest buildings in the city that once served as the municipal hall. Before the room was soundproofed, “there was a lot of echoing and it was hard to schedule classes close to where the music was happening,” Matthews said, adding, “We are hoping the other two music studios will get the same treatment in the future.” Art and music classes are key to the centre’s growth, she said. Currently, it employs three piano teachers, a flute/clarinet instructor, a vocal coach and two gui-

Matthews said the society has been working on containing the noise level for at least four years; the foundation funding is acknowledged with a plaque by the door to “Studio 6,” which is located off the main piano section, called Studio 2. Foundation president Robert Simons, who was at the unveiling last Thursday with past president David Spence with other foundation board members, said the non-profit organization “wanted to see something that had a substan-

Music on tap at ECC next week Scheel, Hagen, Inlet Big Band and PSWE to offer a feast for music lovers at Evergreen arts centre next week By Janis Warren THE TrI-CITy NEWS

Evergreen Cultural Centre will be a music hub next week as the Coquitlam facility celebrates classical piano and violin, acoustic guitar, big band and woodwinds. On Sunday, Australian native David Scheel will launch the sound parade with his The Art of the Pianist/Composer. The award-winning concert pianist will lead the audience on a journey of famous writers like Bach and Mozart as well as poke fun at opera and pop. He’ll even entertain with on-the-spot pieces recommended by the crowd. Jonathan J. Lee and Sergei Saratovsky will pair up for a violin-piano recital on Tuesday to play Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 9, Opus 47 in A-major, Chausson’s Poeme Opus 25 and Debussy’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in G-minor. The event is presented by Prime Chamber Music Society. For Halloween, pianist Sarah Hagen will take to the stage to launch her musical mornings, a series that has played out on Vancouver Island and is currently underway in Surrey. Hagen will host five salon-style recitals over the next six months that include the following music luminaries: • cellist Ariel Barnes (formerly of the Borealis String Quartet); • violinist Martin Chalifour (a professor at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music); • tenor Ken Lavigne (Canadian Tenors founder); • and Coquitlam resident Marcus Goddard

All performances are on Wednesdays, with coffee and pastries at 10 a.m. and the concert starting at 10:30 a.m. For Hagen’s Oct. 31 solo event — themed around music of masquerades and mysteries — costumes are optional but encouraged. And for the first show, Evergreen members can get a guest in for free. On Nov. 1, guitar affectionados can hear from the best acoustic players in the business at an International Guitar Night tour stop. See IGN founder and American guitar poet Brian Gore with guests Martin Taylor (British jazz), Solorazaf (FrenchMalagasy) and Guinga (Brazilian mix) perform their latest original compositions and exchange ideas about the craft. Earlier that night, Gore will also have a guitar workshop at 6 p.m. at Evergreen. Dance the night away on Nov. 2 with music from the Inlet Jazz Big Band and the Harmony Vocal Ensemble at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre. The two groups are appearing as part of a Coquitlam Gogos fundraiser, with proceeds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation grandmothers’ campaign. A silent auction will be held and tote bags are for sale to raise money for the cause. And lastly, the Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble — which calls ECC home — will launch its season Nov. 3 with a concert titled Out of this World. Programmed with popular works, the event will be guest conducted by Gerald King, a professor and director of the School of Music at the University of Victoria, where he serves as conductor of the UVIC Wind Symphony. Tickets for all shows and the workshop can be purchased by calling the Evergreen box office at 604-9276555 or online at evergreenculturalcentre.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Hartley joins the Big Green It looks like Coquitlam hockey player Josh Hartley is heading to the Ivy League. The 20-year-old defenceman, who plays with the junior ‘A’ Wenatchee Wi l d i n t h e North American Hockey League, has committed to Dartmouth College, where he will play with the Big Green in the NCAA. Hartley has only played 11 games with the Wild but has already tied Doug Rose for the most points (10) among defencemen in the NAHL with seven assists and three goals, two of which game on the power play. “It is a really good feeling,” he said of heading to Dartmouth. “It’s something I’ve been working toward for quite a few years. It’s nice to be able to get it out of the way and focus on winning a championship [with the Wild].” H a r t l ey, wh o played seven games for the Burnaby Express in the 2009-10 season, scored three goals and four assists in a showcase tournament in Blaine, Minn., last month and was named West Division Star of the Week for his efforts. He was also the runner-up for September’s Defenceman of the Month award. Hartley ended up in Wenatchee after his former NAHL team, the Dawson Creek Rage, folded. He was able to score 16 goals and notch 36 assists with his former team over two seasons.

Cents, Ravens can’t find way to win By Gary McKenna THe Tri-CiTy News

After two losses in a row and a 1-3 record, Centennial Centaurs coach Ryk Piche could be forgiven if he was feeling a little glum about his team’s playoff chances. The injury-ravaged club is last in the AAA high school football Eastern Conference standings and have struggled to put up points in its last two outings. But the coach said on Tuesday that he and his players are far from giving up. “I’m very confident,” he told The Tri-City News. “That may sound crazy

“I’m very confident. That may sound crazy for a team that has one regular season win.” Ryk Piche for a team that has one regular season win.” The team has struggled with injuries and Piche was able to field his full compliment of starters for the first time last Friday when the club lost to St.Thomas More. Having not played to-

gether for most of the season, he said his players lacked cohesion and struggled to maintain the lead after jumping out to a 6-0 start. In the second half, the wheels fell off, and several missed assignments on the Centaurs’ defence allowed St. Thomas More to get back in the game. The mistakes ended up costing Centennial the game, with the team eventually losing 46-0. “I have never seen anything like that,” he said.“It turned in such a dramatic manner. It was a good football game for the first half.” Piche said his team will go back to the draw-

ing board for next weekend’s tilt against W.J. Mouat (3-1-0) before the final game of the season against cross-town rivals the Terry Fox Ravens (22-0). The Ravens are also struggling to put points on the board, having lost to Mouat 33-13 on Friday night at Percy Perry Stadium. Mate McLeod-Genest had 15 rushes for 70 yards while quarterback Nathan Dalton was 6-for16 passing for 150 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw four interceptions. The Ravens are also suffering from the injury bug, playing without the

services of starting quarterback Trevor Casey, Jake Bye, Brett Boyce and Isaiah Stevens and running back Brad Lyons injured his right ankle on the second offensive play of the game. The team was down 19-0 at the half before Dalton connected with Brian Hope for a 70 yard touchdown pass, cutting the deficit to 19-6. Another touchdown in the second half — a 19-yard-play to Mike West — was not enough to spark the team’s offense.

A good home inspector will be able to root out any deficiencies hiding in your new home.

By Maggie Calloway Most of us know it is essential to get a home inspection prior to buying a home; this essential step is to shield us from taking on someone else’s nightmare. Among other things a home inspection should alert us to are deficiencies not just on the surface but hidden in the walls such as bad plumbing, electrical wiring, and heating and cooling systems. But we have all seen episodes on TV

Design from the ground up Building a custom home takes a lot more than just choosing the perfect location. By Kerry Vital

If you’re looking to reduce your environmental footprint, natural gas is a great way to do that. With increased energy eﬃciency and cost savings, homeowners who install a natural gas system will find many benefits. Submitted photo

The comfortable choice: natural gas Natural gas has become a popular choice in canada, for a variety of reasons. By Kerry Vital Natural gas is rapidly becoming a popular way of powering your home, for a large variety of reasons. One of the benefits of natural gas according to FortisBC is its convenience factor. Natural gas is available at the push of a button, so you don’t need to worry about running out of fuel for your barbecue, or having to wait for your fireplace or

outdoor firepit to get hot. It is easy to find stylish and functional appliances that use natural gas, so homeowners never have to sacrifice their sense of style. Imagine coming home from a long day at work and being able to sit in front of your natural gas-fuelled fireplace with a glass of wine, or toss together a gourmet meal for a dinner party with your gas cooktop or oven. That dream is easily made possible with a natural gas system. One of the great things about a natural gas cooktop and oven is its ability to cook food evenly. You will no longer have to worry about burning one side of the pan while the other is undercooked.

Natural gas can also heat your hot tub or pool, which is especially important when it’s cool outside. The water will be heated consistently and quickly, so your relaxation can begin almost immediately. Canada is the world’s third largest producer of natural gas, so it is an abundant source of energy, as well as being extremely popular. Natural gas meets 30 per cent of Canada’s energy needs, according to FortisBC. It is also a cleaner type of energy, emitting almost 30 per cent less carbon dioxide than oil. Another fantastic benefit to natural gas service

Building a custom home can be a wonderful experience, but it can also be not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking into building a brand-new home that is custom designed from the ground up, the first thing you need to do is find a reputable builder who has plenty of experience. “Don’t go for the cheapest or the one who just got started,” says Ivan Krpan of Dakota

Holdings Custom Home Builders. “References are essential. Many people have had bad experiences, so it’s really important to choose the right builder.” When you’re hiring a builder, it’s very important to be comfortable with him or her, because you will have a lot of contact in the next several months. Krpan says it generally takes about 10 months from start to finish, so if you’re not happy that time will be crawling by

A natural gas system has many benefits for homeowners, from cost to convenience “ from page. B1 is the value it adds to your home. Because of its popularity and other benefits, it can contribute to a better resale value for your home. While you’re living in your home, having natural gas services make it easier to convert other appliances to natural gas when your budget permits. Homeowners with natural gas service will be interested in the rebates that are available through FortisBC in a variety of categories. The first is for space and water heating. You can receive a $1,000 rebate for swapping your oil or propane heating system to natural gas and installing a new ENERGY STAR™-rated high-efficiency heating system. Replacing your old water heater with a qualifying natural gas ENERGY STAR™ model will also make you eligible for a rebate of up to $500. “Heating water can consume 20 to 25 per cent of a home’s total energy use,” says Beth Ringdahl, program manager, energy efficiency and conservation for FortisBC. “So when it comes to looking at natural gas-powered water heaters, it makes sense to get the most efficient model you can find. Some of the new technologies make it possible to get a tank-less model, which is a bonus for smaller spaces.” In the appliances category, homeowners who buy a qualified ENERGY STAR™ washing machine will receive a $75 rebate if they purchase the new machine by Dec. 31. ENERGY STAR™ washing machines use 35 to 50 per cent less water, just as one of their benefits. Keeping warm with an EnerChoice fireplace will net you a $300 rebate if you purchase it by May 31, 2013. EnerChoice fireplaces must have a minimum of 62.4 per cent efficiency rating for a fireplace, 61 per cent for an insert and 66 per

cent for a free-standing stove. Not having to keep a supply of firewood on hand is just one more great thing about having a natural gas fireplace. Those in low-income households are able to take advantage of the Energy Conservation Assistance Program, which offers a free home energy evaluation, free installation of energy saving products and personalized advice. If you are a FortisBC natural gas customer, a BC Hydro customer and live in a low-income household, you can apply on the FortisBC website. “FortisBC offers a number of energy-efficiency incentives that help homeowners get the most out of their natural gas appliances and space heating,” says Ringdahl. “For example, FortisBC is a partner in the LiveSmart BC program for whole home retrofits. This provides homeowners energy audits that point out easy ways to make energy-efficient improvements and rebates to save on energy costs.” However, rebates are not the only way homeowners save with a natural gas system. FortisBC states that natural gas heating equipment such as furnaces are 98 per cent efficient, so heating costs are lower than with other types of systems, such as oil or propane. A natural gas water heater heats water more efficiently than other methods, and can dramatically bring down your heating costs. For more information about natural gas services, check out FortisBC’s website at www. fortisbc.com. In-depth rebate information can be found there, as well as information about the types of appliances available to homeowners, more benefits of natural gas and information on accessing your FortisBC account.

Natural gas has become a popular method of heating, cooking and barbecuing, just to name a few. FortisBC offers many rebates for homeowners with a natural gas system, so check out their website for more information. Submitted photos

Don’t settle for subpar “ from page. B1 of Mike Holmes going into homes after they have been given the thumbs-up by incompetent home inspectors and that is what gives us nightmares. What you may not be aware of is that British Columbia is the only province in Canada where it is mandatory for home inspectors to be licensed. What you are looking for is an inspector who has extensive experience in the building trade, who has completed the required specific education to qualify as a home inspector and is a member in good standing of industry professional associations such as The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, British Columbia Institute of Property Inspectors, Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (ASTTBC), and for good measure, a member in good standing of the Better Business Bureau of B.C. Buying a home is the biggest financial commitment most of us will make in our lifetime so there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to checking out qualifications. What Mike Holmes is fighting for is already in place in our beloved province and has been since 2009. The ASTTBC lists several questions that you should ask when hiring an inspector, including how long he or she has been in business as an inspector, if the company has references, how long it will take to complete the inspection and what he or she charges. If there is a problem with any of the above questions or the inspector is reluctant to comply with your request, walk away. There is too much at stake to take any chances and reluctance to answer your questions is a red flag that shortcuts will be taken. Mandatory licensing in B.C. has made a dif-

ference in the market place, according to home inspector Glenn Duxbury. “It was like the wild west out there, just as it is in many other provinces to this day. Anybody with a ladder, a flashlight and a business card could go out there and say they are a home inspector with no training, no accountability,” he says. “When I started about 10 years ago, even before mandatory licensing, I followed the advice of a seasoned inspector and went to BCIT which at the time was the only institute offering a course in home inspection and after graduating I worked for a respected company before going out on my own.” Now things are much more tightly controlled. Along with mandatory licensing, insurance must be in good standing and should a homeowner buy a home after receiving a flawed inspection, the insurance will cover any remedial work.

Home inspector Glenn Duxbury says that the mandatory licensing for home inspectors in B.C. has gone a long way towards preventing disreputable inspections. It is important to check out foundations, attics and plumbing when purchasing a home. Martin Knowles photos

Keeping the fires burning during the cold season By Maggie Calloway There is nothing as comforting after a day in the trenches as a fire. There is probably some primitive part of our brain that equates the warmth of a fire with safety and comfort. Whatever your personal choice or circumstances, there have never been such a variety of fireplaces available. Even if you live in a condominium, where it would be frowned upon if you started opening the walls to accommodate a chimney, there is now a great solution. Ethanol burning fireplaces, which give off no heat but have a real flame look, don’t require venting or gas lines and are a great choice for condos and give real ambiance to your living space. “Electric fireplaces have come a long way over the last few years,” says Dale Fougette of Fireplaces Unlimited. “They used to be a bit stiff and unrealistic but now they are sometimes mistaken for a gas fireplace in the showroom. You can now get an electric fireplace with a long linear look instead of the square box with the traditional log and you can just plug it in. There are also options; you can heat a condo or a basement suite when hard-wired to a higher voltage. Another advantage of an electric fireplace is they don’t have to be installed on a special surface, they are all pretty well zero clearances, they can be framed with wood and you can drywall right up to them. They are very safe.” Gas fireplaces are becoming standard in most townhouses and condos and there is something to be said for just having to flick a switch instead of lighting a fire from scratch. “There are also a lot of zero clear-

ance gas fireplaces that can sit on combustible floors, not to be confused with gas inserts that have to be totally surrounded by non-combustible material,” says Fougette. “This is an example of why it is so important to advise us about which application you are planning.” No matter what the style of your home there is a design that would work beautifully but what if you what you are looking for is not available? “We do a lot of custom fireplaces both for commercial applications and homes,” says Fougette. “There is pretty well no limit to what we can design from multi-sided fireplaces to overheight installations. All shapes and sizes, pretty well whatever you can dream, it can be made for you.”

There are a variety of fireplace styles available, says Dale Fougette of Fireplaces Unlimited, left. If you can’t find something to suit you, you can have something designed to fit the space. Martin Knowles photos

Technology making its mark on wallpaper with custom designs By Maggie Calloway If wallpaper has always been an afterthought in your design plans you may be surprised to learn there is actually a serious wallpaper design society based in England. This is not someone’s eccentric aunt with a houseful of wallpaper samples. Founded in 1986, the Wallpaper History Society was established to promote an awareness and understanding of historic and contemporary wallcoverings. Their website states “Our scope is broad and encompasses not only the history of wallpapers but also topics relating to other types of wallcoverings, the subject of interior decoration as a whole and the increasing role which digital technology plays in design.” William Morris, a wallpaper and textile designer who is still a huge influence on style in this century, said, “Whatever you have in your rooms, think first of the walls for they are that which makes your house

and home, and if you do not make some sacrifices in their favour you will find your chambers have a kind of makeshift, lodging-house look about them.” Morris would heartily approve and be intrigued by a wonderful Canadian company called Rollout. Headed by Anita Modha, with studios in Vancouver and Toronto, Rollout has married design with technology since 2005 which allows them to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of wall design.

“In essence what we do is design custom wallpapers and digitally print them by the square foot,” says Modha. “We get our inspiration from community-based artists, photographers and designers, and the wall is our canvas. ... Each project is unique and is integral to the design of your home,” says Modha. Technology has thrown the world of design wide open. Imagine a wall in your media room with a custom design from a favourite movie!

There are many design options for wallpaper these days, from stylized skulls to a map of Paris and everything in between. Submitted photos

Building a secondary suite a good mortgage helper By Kerry Vital The Lower Mainland is widely recognized as one of the most expensive places to live in North America. With that in mind, many homeowners are choosing to build a secondary legal suite in their house to rent out and bring in a bit of extra money. However, it can be confusing when trying to sort out what is required, what is a nice extra and the best way to go about building your new suite. Before you start such a renovation, it’s best to look into the regulations in your city. “The best resource for secondary suite regulations can be found online on your municipal website,” says Steve Kemp of Kemp Construction Management Ltd. “There are many regulations for secondary suites such as minimum egress for bedroom windows, electrical panel access, fire separation, stand-alone heating systems, (and) designated garden area, plus many more.” The thought can be overwhelming, but Kemp has some suggestions for things to think about before you start. “Can you finance the project? Are you ready to share your home?” he asks. “Is the access to your space shared or private? Is there enough parking for one or two additional vehicles?” He also says homeowners should think about whether they want to live in their home while it is under renovation, or whether they should seek alternate accommodation. Renovations aren’t quiet and they aren’t always quick. “If you are doing the full redevelopment of the basement including a new foundation, I would allow six months for the project,” says Kemp. “Minor alterations may only take a few weeks.” He notes that the more things you add to a project, the longer it will take. “For example, a new sewer, water and drainage connections add two weeks. Granite countertops versus laminate could add one to two weeks,” he says. “Sometimes owners want to upgrade the main living area at the same time, which can add additional time to the project.” As anyone who has ever rented a basement or secondary suite can attest to, there are certain things that renters will be looking for when searching for a place to live.

“There is a high demand for good-quality rental suites in Vancouver,” says Kemp. “The highest demand is for two-bedroom and two-bathroom units with eight-foot ceilings and no evidence of basement mildew. Generally these suites range in size from 700 to 1,000-plus square feet.” Having your own space is also key. It can be uncomfortable to run into your landlord on your way out the door in the morning, which is why a basement suite with its own entrance is highly sought-after. “Add quality finishes and privacy in order to attract a tenant that is looking for longerterm accommodations,” says Kemp. “Know your target market and try to understand what type of (home) they need and what they are able to afford.” When it comes to how much you will be able to get for your new secondary suite, Kemp says it depends on a few factors. “The main determinants of rental income are the quality of finish, privacy, full-height ceilings, (is it) dry and comfortable, and proximity to amenities, work and parking,” he says. It is best to check rental listings for an idea of what you could charge. As with every renovation, hiring a professional is always the best way to go. “Do your research,” Kemp says. “Print out the regulations for secondary suites and make sure you understand the content. Ensure you have adequate funds, find experienced professionals to help you, (and) allow adequate time for the project.” When you’re considering building a secondary suite in your home, the first thing you need to do is check out the regulations for your city.

My House Design/Build renovates old-style bungalow By Maggie Calloway

The story of a family firmly rooted in a neighbourhood with children happy in school and extended family nearby that opts to renovate a home which is tired and no longer works as the family grows and needs more space is a familar one nowadays. With home prices still rising, homeowners are weighing the cost of buying a new home and relocating against the cost of a renovation and ending up with exactly what you want. More frequently, renovating is winning the coin toss. This was the case with this renovation. The father of the family grew up in the area, has many family members living close by, and wanted his own family to experience the love and security of grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins being a part of everyday life. Linda Jones, an interior designer working with the My House Design/Build Team, is very pleased with how this amazing transformation works for the family. “The whole main floor which was originally the kitchen, dining room and living room are now one great room,” says Jones. “Our clients are all about family and the configuration of the original house didn’t allow them to live as they really wanted to. Major Sunday dinners with extended family are now possible with everyone together comfortably in this new space.” The clients trusted the renovation team which allowed them to hand over creative control of the project. This is a dream situation for any team and they made sure the family received what they needed in spades. “It was a real pleasure working with the family,” says Jones. “Opening up the whole main floor required major engineering to replace the removed walls but the end result was

worth it. The main floor now consists of three small bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite bathroom as well as the great room.” The house is a 1,300-square-foot bungalow with no second story but with a full walk-out basement. “This whole space was very carefully planned. When you design a great room, which by design has to fulfill many roles, every detail is important,” says Jones. “For instance, the kitchen is totally exposed to the living room but by placing the island carefully with a raised breakfast bar it shields the working area from the living space. We also

stained the island with an espresso stain which again creates a piece of furniture from the living room side.” Not a huge amount of work was done on the exterior of the home. The windows were trimmed out to create symmetry, a new door was installed, steps, railings and plantings were changed and the whole exterior of the home was repainted. The difference these relatively small changes made to the curb appeal is enormous. The rear of the home was refreshed with new railings on the deck. All in all the rear of the home is now an inviting place to be on a summer day.

A few little changes can make a difference By Kerry Vital Winter seems to be rapidly approaching, and with it comes darkness, bad weather and a feeling of cabin fever. Perhaps putting some new decor into that cabin will drive away some of those feelings. A new colour palette might be a good place to start. “It’s nice to have something vivid and fun,” says Sarah Gallop, principal designer at Sarah Gallop Design Inc. “It really sets the tone for the space.” Colours such as bright orange, magenta and lime green are especially popular as accents, Gallop says. She often has people request a feature wall in a saturated colour, some bright pillows or other textiles, or even a new piece of furniture in a tropical hue. These accents go well with the new neutrals

that are a recent trend. While many shake their heads at “apartment beige”, that colour is a classic for a reason and still features heavily in many homes. However, warm and cool greys are still requested, though Gallop sees them as being on their way out. “People like a timeless, classic look,” she says. “You spend a lot of money to decorate your house, and it doesn’t always make sense to go for a new look every time.” Wallpaper has also become more popular recently and Gallop expects this to continue next year as well. “People have a bad association with it,” she says. “But it gives such a glamour that paint doesn’t have.” Because it doesn’t have to be permanent, Gallop says wallpaper is an easy way to keep up with interior decor trends. “Some of the new wallpapers are gorgeous,” she says, adding that you are no longer relegated to musty flowers and faux finishes that were popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Even the popular style of furniture has been changing recently, Gallop says. “More tailored looks are back,” she says. “The overstuffed furniture is out; it’s quite bulky and heavy-looking.” A move towards indoor-outdoor living has been coming on strong this year, and Gallop expects that to continue into the new year. Sarah Gallop says adding a vivid colour to a room freshens it up and sets the tone for the space, no matter which room it is. Submitted photos

“It’s really about extending the living space out,” she says, adding that the ability to do so depends on the layout of the home and yard, but “it’s usually achievable.” Building an outdoor kitchen or patio for entertaining is one of many things homeowners can do to maximize their indoor-outdoor space. When you’re thinking of doing some updates, it’s always best to take a look at the things you already love about a space. Working out a budget for what you can afford and want to change is the best place to start. Overextending yourself is never a good plan. “You don’t want to be a slave to your house,” Gallop says.

A busy corner, left, has been transformed into a cozy breakfast nook, above. The bright colour and plenty of storage space gives a new feel to an older space. Meanwhile, wallpaper is back and nothing like the dated patterns many grew up with, below. Submitted photos

Finding a level of trust is extremely important when choosing a home builder “ from page. B1 and you will be adding extra stress to your life on top of the usual emotions that come with any renovation. “The builder must be willing to spend time with them,” says Krpan. “They must be willing to assist (the homeowners) with colours, design and other plans.” Once you’ve chosen a builder, you need to find the land you want to build on and know the regulations that are in place for the type of home you can construct. “How a property is situated will (determine) what you can put on it,” says Krpan. Once you’ve chosen where you want to build and purchased the parcel of land, it’s time to start looking at what you want to include in your new home, whether it’s a large kitchen perfect for entertaining or several bedrooms to fit your growing family. “A good builder will help you look at what you should and shouldn’t do (in a home) as well as discuss your likes and dislikes,” says Krpan. This is the perfect time to talk about your dream master suite or what you love about a friend or family member’s house. Those granite countertops and heated tile floors are important parts of the design puzzle, and your builder needs to know that you want them included. “In most cases you will be working with a designer who works with the builder,” say Krpan. They will collaborate with you to lay out everything you want for your perfect home. Once you have finalized your design and everyone is on the same page, it’s time to discuss how much it will cost and draw up a contract. “It’s best to enlighten people about

what the process is,” says Krpan. “Everything has a price tag attached.” The contract you sign should include the square footage of the home, a total breakdown of the costs you will incur including the price per square foot and the quality of finishings that will be in the home. However, Krpan warns that even though you may have signed a contract stating how much you will be paying for your new home, if you come up with some new ideas mid-way through, there might be some extra costs. “An example would be a high-end chandelier,” he says, adding that the homeowner would have to pay for that on top of the agreed-upon cost. “You don’t want any misunderstandings between the builder and the customer,” Krpan says. “That’s why there needs to be a good contract in place. Having a contract keeps everyone honest and everyone understands the cost.” You should also be given a construction specifications sheet when completing a contract. That sheet (Krpan’s are usually four or five pages long) will list the construction materials the builder will use. Being realistic about what you can afford is very important. You may have fallen in love with that huge granite soaker tub or opulent formal dining room you saw in a home decor magazine, but if it’s not feasible on your budget it may need to be put aside for the time being. Your home is more than a place to rest your head. You should feel happy and comfortable in your new place, and knowing that this house was built exactly how you wanted it to be will go a long way towards making that possible.

Recognizing Tri-Cities’ Favourites

Moving to a new city is always interesting — I know, I have done it many times. This last time, however, I was moving from the relatively quiet Okanagan to a major city (actually, three cities NIGEL LARK and two villages, to be correct). I had little idea what to expect but was looking forward to the voyage of discovery. (OK, we are not going to talk about the traffic.) I love the outdoors and we have a lot of outdoors to explore in the Tri-Cities. The Traboulay PoCo Trail, Rocky Point Park, riverside trails, Buntzen Lake, Colony Farm, Minnekhada and Mundy parks — so many great places to venture. And, if you want to be more adventurous, Pinecone Burke Provincial Park awaits — but be careful up there. Even as I have explored these trails, I

have met many people who call our community home, and what a great experience that has been. Through my work here at The Tri-City News, I have come to know many people in our business community — and I have never known so many businesses giving so much help to their neighbours. I am happily astonished at the number of people who get together to help others in volunteer organizations that make sports and community events so inspiring — the amazing people who have such amazing heart and compassion and give so generously of their time to help those who need it the most. Is it what I expected when I moved here more than three years ago? No. Is it what I hoped for? Again, no. It’s much, much better than that. Take a bow, Tri-Cities. Our people make this a very special place. Nigel Lark Publisher, The Tri-City News

Welcome to Tri-Cities: The great outdoors & the giving people Outdoor recreation opportunities abound in the Tri-Cities, from parks to hiking trails to paths along the dikes that line the Pitt River.

ABOUT THIS SECTION: Welcome to The Tri-City News’ first A-List. We asked Tri-City residents to pick their favourite things about their community and they responded — big time. In weeks of online voting, hundreds of readers of The Tri-City News shared their top picks in a variety of categories, from commercial to culinary, from recreational to romantic. You’ll find the results of those votes in the listings spread throughout this 36-page special section.

On the other pages, you’ll find words from a variety of community leaders who were asked to share their thoughts on what makes the Tri-Cities a great place to live. We invite you to peruse the listings and the articles — maybe you’ll find a new favourite recreation spot or business to add to your own list. We also invite your feedback for the next edition of the A-List. Got a suggestion for a category or something else that could be covered? Email us at a-list@tricitynews.com.

Recognizing Tri-Cities’ Favourites Coquitlam has diverse cultures

Small-town charm in PoCo

Art, nature & biz in Port Moody

What makes Coquitlam such an awesome place to live? Join the people walking around Lafarge Lake on a summer evening and you’ll STEWART see it. Hands down, its Coquitlam’s diversity. We are arguably among the most diverse communities in the world. A diverse landscape, to be sure — mountains, rivers, lakes, wetlands, forests, parks and fields, and stunning natural beauty, nestled in the middle of MetroVancouver. But more importantly, a diverse population. Aboriginal peoples, plus multi-generation Canadians from English and French Canada, plus thousands of residents who chose Coquitlam from an entire globe of possibilities. The world has come here to this welcoming, accessible and inclusive community; they’ve chosen Coquitlam as their home, to build their lives and to celebrate with us the richness of their cultures, their faiths, their festivals and, yes, their foods. Add great churches, schools, arts/culture, parks, facilities, community groups and leaders, local businesses, neighbourhoods and a bright future. O Canada? Oh, Coquitlam. Mayor Richard Stewart City of Coquitlam

As someone who grew up in Port Coquitlam, I’m often amazed at the changes I’ve seen in our community over the years. With road projects such MOORE as the Coast Meridian Overpass, it’s easier than ever to get around. Many successful businesses have moved here, bringing jobs and investment. Local amenities and shopping have never been better, and our city has been won multiple awards for our innovative approach to managing waste and engaging residents through technology. But while we’ve grown, many important aspects have stayed the same. We’ve retained our small-town charm, which can be felt in our historic downtown, in our community spirit and PoCo Pride, and in long-running events such as the May Day Festival and Terry Fox Hometown Run. We’ve also protected and enhanced our beautiful natural setting while providing residents with access to an extensive park and trail network, including the 25-km Traboulay PoCo Trail. Representing the best of the past and present, Port Coquitlam remains a place I’m proud to call home. Mayor Greg Moore City of Port Coquitlam

Port Moody is surrounded by spectacular natural amenities, from the ocean to the mountains, providing limitless opportunities for our residents. CLAY A history of great planning by the city councils that keeps residents safe, preserves and enhances our natural environment, provides first-class civic amenities and encourages a diversity in housing benefits the youth and the“experienced,”with families large and small. We treasure locally-owned and -operated small businesses, where the owners are friends and neighbours, who support our community and add to our sense of pride. Great neighbours, local businesses and natural environment — residents of The City of the Arts are proud to proclaim, not only,“I’m from Port Moody”but, also,“I’m from the Tri-Cities,” where we work, live and play together across our municipal boundaries. Mayor Mike Clay City of Port Moody

Thank you for voting for PawsN’Tail. To show our appreciation we are offering the following promotions.

The Terry Fox Foundation is proud to be a part of the Tri-Cities and the place Terry Fox called home. This is where Terry lived, where he played, where he went to school and where WHITE his dream of the Marathon of Hope became a reality. It is on these streets and in these neighbourhoods and parks where he ran before he set out on what would be a journey of historical significance where he ran into the hearts of not just those of us who call this community home but into the hearts of all Canadians. It is the passion and pride that we all feel for Terry that brings out our residents each September to volunteer and participate in Terry’s dream.The pride that the people of the Tri-Cities feel for Terry and the place they call home, the place that my husband and I call home, is humbling each year. Together with our caring and giving residents, we are working to see Terry’s dream of a world free from cancer become a reality — all because of the dream of one young man from Port Coquitlam and the people who have taken up his torch and continued his legacy for the past 32 years.

For more than 25 years, in this special place at GIOVANNETTI475 Guildford Way in Port KING Moody, the best health care is available to residents of the Tri-Cities, every day, 24/7. Our staff and volunteers tirelessly provide their time and talent to help meet each patient’s need — large or small. Many of our doctors, technicians and staff live right here in the Tri-Cities. And, the families who live here are also our donors and funding partners. These outstanding people choose to give from their hearts, investing their treasure in the healthy future of our community. Our collective efforts have positively impacted our hospital and enabled Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation to purchase 70 per cent of the new equipment needed each year at Eagle Ridge.

Recognizing Tri-Cities’ Favourites Living in the Tri-Cities for the past 20 years has allowed me to connect with so many fantastic people. Being involved in the community and meeting so many great people within FANTILLO the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce has really increased my family’s circle of friendship. Everywhere I go in this community, I constantly bump into business acquaintances who I now consider friends. The great thing is that many of those people I deal with in everyday business also contribute so much to our community. Through coaching our kids’ sporting activities, volunteering on boards and committees, giving their time and money to charities, sponsoring events, the TriCity business community has stepped up and made this community a better place to live and work. Our motto at the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is“Strong Business, Strong Communities.”I believe that is what our outstanding members have contributed to our community. Davide Fantillo, 2012 Chair, Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce

Recognizing Tri-Cities’ Favourites While there is no formal designation for the Tri-Cities, the cities of Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam are often talked about as a“community.” We are not defined by WYANT municipal boundaries, highways and bridges, or rivers and mountains. Our commitment to one another; to making things better for our neighbours; to helping people we don’t know because it’s the right thing to do — these are qualities that shape our Tri-Cities character. Our community rises to challenges; we find ways to work together to deal with tragic loss and to confront persistent and difficult issues like child poverty, addiction, homelessness and healthy child development. Here are some examples of how your generosity made a big difference last year: •Your financial donations helped Share raise 15% of our revenue. • 1,587 volunteers gave us 49,847 hours of service. •You helped us serve 65,567 people. Thank you for working with us to bring strength and support to vulnerable individuals and families.Your gifts of service humble and inspire us every day. Martin Wyant CEO, Share Family & Community Services

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Community rises to help

Share collects donations of food and cash from the community so its food bank can help families in need feed themselves all year round.

Recognizing Tri-Cities’ Favourites Connections, contributions

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Hidden within everyone’s life story, there is value to be shared, and people out there waiting for help through a similar experience who haven’t yet crossed the bridges, to METZ MURRAY be welcomed into a caring, connected community. The Tri-Cities is just such a community: a wonderfully unique mosaic/melting pot filled with natural beauty; accessible to nature, recreation, arts, culture, educational and economic opportunities (from agriculture to business to industry), transportation links; a place between big and small, a place to play. Mostly, the Tri-Cities is its people, focused on the value of interconnectedness and contribution, making it an ideal place to live, work and raise a family. This year alone, Tri-City Transitions Society has received more than 500 donated hours of community giving, which helps us help those we serve to strengthen family and community by breaking the cycles of abuse. This is what makes Tri-Cities residents the people they are: caring contributors continuously crafting the community fabric. Carol Metz Murray Tri-City Transitions

People helping people is a common theme in the Tri-Cities. Here, Abreast in a Boat dragon boat team members paddle together and support one another.

Recognizing Tri-Cities’ Favourites This summer, my family and I moved to the suburbs. Nobody is more surprised by this move than myself. Except, perhaps, my husband, who, for most of our months-long SARAH PAYNE search for a home, was subjected to my repeated demands that we Not. Leave.Vancouver. I’d lived in the city for nearly 20 years and found much to love — restaurants, shopping, beaches and mountains all within arm’s reach. I loved the well-stocked Italian market at the end of our Strathcona street, the changing storefronts in Chinatown and Gastown’s transformation from tacky tourist shops to hipster mecca. But the birth of our baby girl two years ago suddenly turned a lot of our favourite pastimes upside down. We quickly went from seeing many of the latest movies or settling in at comfortable seats in our favourite pub or checking out new restaurants to spending a lot more time at home. A lot. And that home — a one-bedroom townhouse — was suddenly a lot more crowded. We searched high and low in the city but the hundreds of hours we spent

The move: From big smoke to Burke Mt.

For many, Burke Mountain is the place where all that construction is happening. For former downtown dweller Sarah Payne and family, it’s now home.

combing the MLS website turned up nothing but run-down old-timers with eye-popping price tags. And then one day our ever-patient realtor told us she had a surprise, that we should keep our minds open. That surprise turned out to be a house on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, an area that hadn’t even been on our radar.

But there it was — everything we wanted in a home on a tree-lined, quiet street. Suddenly, we couldn’t wait to move to the suburbs. Sure, we were leaving behind our trendy neighbourhood with its growing number of boutiques, cafés and all things local/organic/fair trade (but, also, the constant wail of sirens, the battle for parking

and, sadly, the needles). But as we looked around at our neighbours, the young 20-somethings clad in such carefully crafted dishevelment, we realized it was time for a new scene. Living in the suburbs has brought a lot of changes — we still spend a lot of time at home but now our daughter gets to play in the backyard instead of on a tiny balcony. We’re getting to know other young families — many of them also refugees from the high-priced city — on our street, at our kid’s Hyde Creek swim class and at jungle gym drop-ins at the Port Moody rec centre. We’ve explored some of the trails in our Burke Mountain backyard and were wowed by the beauty of the DeBoville Slough. We’ve marvelled at the notion of so much free parking and, together as a family, we’re discovering a lot of the businesses, events and activities I’ve been writing and reading about for years. Do I miss being able to walk the seawall to Granville Island? Absolutely. But I wouldn’t trade the family-friendly vibe of our new home in the suburbs for all the tea in our old Chinatown ’hood.
