Water woes as development progresses on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The city of Coquitlam plans to beef up signage around creeks on Burke Mountain to make more people, including new residents and construction workers, aware of their importance to the watershed. Straw bales and wattles are effective for sediment control and stormwater runoff. For more on city measures being taken to deal with storm water and sediment as Burke Mountain is developed, see articles on page A9.

6.75% raise hikes over 4 years for PM workers By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody city staff will see their wages rise by 6.75% over four years thanks to a new contract their union approved this week. Members of CUPE Local 825 voted 92% in favour of the contract, which gives them a 1.75% increase in the first year, followed by wage hikes of 1.25%, 1.75% and 2%. The

“It’s quite reflective of the economic times we’re living in.” Mayor Mike Clay agreement is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012. Local 825 represents about 275 inside and outside workers in Port Moody as well as library staff. “I’m pretty happy with the results,” said Local

825 president Raman Braich. “We have a good relationship with the employer and I think the relationship helped us get a fair and equitable settlement for all parties.” The contract mirrors what New

Westminster staff signed in September. Theirs was the first contract in Metro Vancouver to be ratified and was expected to set the standard for other bargaining committees. PoMo Mayor Mike Clay said council is happy with the contract because the wage increases are kept at or below the rate of inflation. see FOLLOWS NW, page A6

Shirley Paulenko just about panicked when she opened her property assessment to find the value of her house had soared 43% in a single year. The $450,000 jump in her assessment to more than $1.5 million would mean a big jump in the recently widowed senior’s property tax bill. “I was so flabbergasted,” Paulenko said. “I lost a night’s sleep. I thought, ‘Holy man, how could this possibly be going up by this much money?’” see NO ‘MUSHROOM HOUSE’, page A4

Three on gun bans busted for shooting Three men who were arrested have gang links By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Three men with ties to Lower Mainland gangs are facing charges after violating their firearms prohibitions at a Port Coquitlam gun range. Matin Pouyan and

Bi Dong Lam were arrested before Christmas after they were observed by officers from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit firing weapons at DVC Indoor Shooting Centre on Broadway Street. Police also say a third man, Donggu ‘Kevin’ Woo, was at the firing range at the same time. He was taken into custody Tuesday for allegedly violating a similar

weapons ban. “It’s perhaps not the smartest thing to be doing,” said CFSEU Sgt. Lindsey Houghton. “They know they have firearms prohibitions… and they are going into public places to shoot. In the case of Mr. Pouyan, he has been in the media for years. It is not like he is completely unknown.” T h e 3 1 - y e a r- o l d Pouyan received his most recent lifetime

weapons ban in 2011 but has charges related to firearms dating back as far as 2003, according to Houghton. Woo, 25, received an eight-month conditional sentence and a 10-year firearms ban following a trafficking conviction in 2007. Lam, 25, received his 10-year firearms prohibition following a conviction for impaired driving and break and enter. While other media are

reporting that the three men are associated to the Fraser Valley’s United Nations gang, Houghton would not confirm with what group the men are allied. He said shifting allegiances in the gang world make it difficult to say for certain who is affiliated with which groups. “A lot of these members have changed their allegiances so many times over the years,” he

said. “All we are saying is that they have strong gang ties.” The owners of DVC Indoor Shooting did not respond to requests for comment before The TriCity News’ deadline. The business bills itself as the only indoor shooting centre in B.C. that rents firearms to the public. “This means you do not need a firearms licence to attend the range or try shooting for the

Most bears are sleeping but not all, so stay vigilant Bear sightings down in Dec. in the Tri-Cities By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Not all bears are hibernating this winter so TriCity residents are being encouraged to remain vigilant, keeping their garbage secure and their yards free of any other attractants. A sow and cubs were seen recently in Port Coquitlam’s Hyde Creek and although bear sightings were down in December, there is enough of a concern to warn residents. “If they’re getting food they won’t den,” explained Dan Scoones, PoCo’s manager of bylaw services. Last month, there were 11 bear sightings and four nuisance complaints in the city even though bears are supposed to be hibernating. A spokesperson for the Conservation Officer Service said complaints are down substantially in PoCo compared to November, when there

But the recent sighting of a mother bear and

cubs is bad news — especially for the bears. “Every year, we have bears that just don’t sleep and they become problem bears and they end

up getting destroyed... it becomes a safety issue,” Cody Ambrose said. Statistics aren’t available for 2012 for the TriCities, and provincial

stats won’t be complete until March, but anecdotally, last year’s bear season was relatively quiet. Ambrose said there were fewer problem bears

around, likely because many of them had been destroyed or relocated the year before, and possibly more natural food was available. He also suspects the implementation of a new $345 fine for leaving or placing wildlife attractants may have encouraged people to be more careful. Only one of those fines was given out last year — to a Coquitlam resident who was feeding bears. The individual was leaving out full loaves of bread for the bruins, Ambrose said, because “they liked seeing bears in the area.” He said it’s not uncommon for people to leave food out for bears, even though it’s extremely risky, a fineable offence and usually ends up with the bear being destroyed. Conservation officers also dealt with several housing complexes in Coquitlam that weren’t taking care of their garbage. But with the support of the city’s urban wildlife coordinator, Drake Stephens, officers were able to educate and encourage residents to be more careful.

first time,” according to the company’s website. Houghton told The TriCity News investigators believe the arrested men rented weapons from the facility rather than bringing in guns from outside, which would have required them to show a licence. He added that the range was not in violation of any laws when it served the three men. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Beware ‘Gerry’ Coquitlam RCMP are warning homeowners about a reported door-todoor scammer. On Jan. 9, a pair of homeowners became suspicious of “Gerry,” a so-called paving contractor who had provided them with a quote. They contacted the Surrey company Gerry claimed to work for, but the owner said no such person had worked for him in 20 years. The business owner then contacted police. “The homeowners did the right thing by calling the company itself to verify Gerry’s claim,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “As a result, no money was lost. I can’t say it enough times that prevention is really the key.” Po l i c e believe Gerry may also go by the names Jeremy or Jeremiah. Anyone in Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam who has experienced anything similar to this situation is asked to contact the RCMP at 604-9451550 and quote file number 2013-777.

Foundation skills tests could change next year FsA tests promise to be issue in provincial election By Tom Fletcher BlACk Press

VICTORIA – All B.C. students in Grades 4 and 7 are expected to write tests of literacy and math skills this month but changes will be considered for future years, B.C. Education Minister Don McRae says. Long opposed by the

BC Teachers’ Federation, the Foundation Skills Assessment tests are being administered in public schools across B.C. The issue is sure to be debated in this spring’s provincial election as the NDP campaigns to scrap universal testing and look for a new way to evaluate student performance. McRae said Wednesday there will be no change to the program this school year, with students only excused due to family emergency, illness

or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. But he said he is open to discussing the program with the BCTF, school administrators and parents for years ahead. “Any time we have a form of assessment, I think it’s really important that after you give it, if you’re going to give it again, you continually look at it to see if it can be done better or more efficiently, and meet the needs of the students, the parents and the educa-

tional system,” McRae said. NDP education critic Robin Austin said work is underway with education experts to refine the party’s position on skills testing. If the NDP forms a government after May’s election, the plan is to replace provincewide tests with a random sample of students and develop a new program later. Austin said one of the problems with FSA testing is the annual controversy over the Fraser

Institute school rankings based on test scores. The rankings are intended to help parents track their local schools’ performance over time but media attention typically focuses on comparing schools in rich neighbourhoods and poor ones. The BCTF continues to urge parents to bend the rules and pull their children out of the testing program. A letter to parents on the BCTF website argues that FSA tests are expensive, timeconsuming and “results

are misused to rank schools and promote privatization.” McRae said FSA test results for all students have played a role in identifying students who need extra help, and can also help administrators spot performance problems in their schools. But he agreed with Austin that it would not be appropriate to use FSA tests alone to evaluate teacher performance. As a former teacher, McRae said one of his concerns about FSA is

the timing. If they are going to continue to be used, the tests should be administered in the fall so teachers and parents have the results in time to work with students later in the school year, he said. Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, B . C .’ s R e p r e s e n t at i ve f o r Children and Youth, has expressed concerns about doing away with universal tests because they can help schools improve results for aboriginal students. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

No ‘mushroom house’ continued from front page

Her son looked at the assessment notice for the two-storey home near 140 Street and 26 Avenue and found the answer. It showed she lives in what friends now joke is the “mushroom house” — a 1,746-sq.-ft. first floor with a giant 8,791-sq.-ft. second storey somehow perched on top. BC Assessment says a typing error added a fourth digit for the second floor by mistake. Assessors have now corrected both the square footage and reduced Paulenko’s assessment to just over $1.1 million, an eight-per-cent increase Paulenko still has her doubts about. But it’s not the only case where residents in the region are complaining about either errors or unusual changes in the assessment authority’s calculation of their house size. “I think there’s going to be a whole pile of these errors,” said Surrey accountant Cindy Konkin. She and her husband are appealing their Newton house’s 8.6-percent assessment increase to $554,000 because it

shows what they say is a fictitious 1,100-sq.-ft. increase in the size of the home. In the Konkins’ case, BC Assessment is holding firm on its determination of the value, saying the first floor is now designated as living space, rather than basement. “Nothing’s changed here in 23 years,” Konkin said. “They could look through our window and see it’s an unfinished basement.” Even excluding the first-floor revision, the Konkins say BC Assessment inexplicably added more than 200 square feet to the footprint of the main floor. Meanwhile, Konkin has checked the assessments of eight other homes on their block of 77A Avenue off of144 Street and found the square-footage numbers have all changed — some by a few feet, others by several hundred. In only one case she’s aware of is the change justifiable because of the finishing of a basement. “Without looking at very many, we’ve found there are errors,” Konkin said. “How many people have got theirs and are up $20,000 or $30,000

and just think it happened to everybody? Now they’re all going to be charged more.” Chris Danchuk, deputy area assessor for South Fraser, said BC Assessment hasn’t seen any spike in complaints about errors relating to home sizes. But he said the sizes of all homes have been reviewed over the past two years using aerial photos and corrections have been made in many cases. “We can go in and look at a house from four different angles and see if there have been any changes to the property,” he said. In other words, owners who have built illegal additions to their homes without a building permit can now expect to have the extra space added to their assessment and see their tax bill to the city go up accordingly. Danchuk said assessors used to walk down the street knocking on doors, but “often people weren’t home, didn’t let us in, or wouldn’t give us any information.” Landcor Data Corp. president Rudy Nielsen said use of aerial photos is likely responsible for some of the jumps in

square footage appearing on assessments. “If a person did a renovation even five or six years ago they’ll catch it with this new system and correct the square footage on your assessment,” he said. Nielsen, whose firm analyzes property values, said errors do happen, even though BC Assessment’s system is “one of the best in the world.” And he suggests residents carefully consider whether it’s worth fighting an assessment they think is unfair in order to save a few hundred a year in tax. Assessed value is a key number that tends to influence the future selling price of a home, he said, so an owner who fights to keep their house value lower to pay less tax now could end up doing worse when they have to sell. “For many people, when they sell it, that’s their retirement money,” Nielsen said. “I’m a firm believer in keeping my assessed value up there. Of course if it’s totally out of whack and my taxes are really going to go up, then I’ll appeal it.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

he’s been asking for. Fraser Health has confirmed it will be piloting an outreach program for people with mental health issues in the TriCities. Although no date has been set, the Assertive Community Treatment program, which will put mental health workers in the field — in people’s homes, at community centres, parks and other places — will come to the region and could support some hardto-house people who have mental health issues. “It’s designed to target the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach clients that may not respond well to traditional outpatient treatment methods,” said Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma. The program couldn’t come soon enough for Thiessen, who said he will be working with Fraser Health to help get it established. Thiessen said a psychiatric nurse used to meet with homeless people and those services were missed when the program was discontinued. He said mental health support could make the difference for some people living in the bush who could be a danger to themselves, and would benefit from more assertive mental health services. “We’ve been gently and not so gently telling government resources they have to bring their services to this group,” he said. “They can’t sit behind glass doors and expect people to push their way in.” These hard-to-house individuals are among a core group of people who have multiple barriers, includ-

ing mental health and substance abuse issues. They tend to live in bushes along the Coquitlam River and move around between Port Coquitlam or Coquitlam to avoid bylaw officers or to replace a camp that was taken down,Thiessen said. Dan Scoones, PoCo’s manager of bylaw services, says the city has been pretty consistent over the years in taking down homeless camps close to parks, trails and other public and private properties. But it also lets people know that services are available to help them. “We say, ‘You can get help, you don’t have to be out in the bush.’ These are people who in the fall could have said I’ll come into shelter,”Scoones said. While there are fewer camps then there were even three years ago, when 125 camps were removed, Scoones says bylaw officers took down 63 camps in 2012.

Black ice to blame, says co. U.S. trans. dept. ordered Mi Joo to cease operations By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS

Arrested for lottery ticket thefts A Port Coquitlam man who was caught as he allegedly attempted to steal a handful of lottery tickets from a PoCo liquor store is now facing several charges. The man is also suspected in similar robberies that took place in Coquitlam and PoCo throughout the holiday season, in which the suspect robbed stores using a knife or gun. Investigators believe he may be linked to similar incidents in Maple Ridge as well. Coquitlam RCMP arrested a suspect as he tried to flee the PoCo store last Friday. He made his first court appearance on Monday and remains in custody. Anthony Bakker, 37, is facing three counts of robbery with a weapon and one count of theft. “We suspected he may be associated to other alleged robberies in the area,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We are working closely with neighbouring police agencies to determine if additional charges are applicable.” spayne@tricitynews.com

On Wednesday, Seattle attorney Mark Scheer told a press conference that the Mi Joo bus driver was travelling on a dangerous road — one that has had a history of motor-vehicle accidents — when the accident happened on Dec. 30. And contrary to allegations made in a lawsuit filed earlier this week by the guardian of two young bus passengers injured in the crash, the driver was not overtired that day. Haeng Kyu Hwang, 54, had slept seven and a half hours the previous night and had been on the road for two and a half hours from Boise when the bus crashed, he said. Nine people died and 38 passengers were injured when the tour bus lost control, ran through a guardrail and fell about 200 feet down an embankment in Pendleton, Ore. The accident was the state’s deadliest in 40 years.

[the] safety management controls and widespread safety violations that demonstrate a continuing and flagrant general disregard for compliance with the FMCSRs, particularly with hours of service regulations, and a management philosophy indifferent to motor carrier safety.” Between 2010 and 2011, the department cited Mi Joo for 19 violations, including failing to ensure its drivers are rested and their hours are logged. Y e s t e r d a y , B . C .’ s M i n i s t ry o f Transportation issued a statement saying it is working with the American government on its safety audit. As well, it is carrying out its own audit, which will be concluded shortly. Before the bus crash, Mi Joo had maintained a “satisfactory” safety rating, the ministry said. Meanwhile, Oregon State Police on Tuesday released the last name of the passenger killed in the bus crash. He is Richard Sohn, 19, of

Tougher runoff rules urged By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam should have updated its erosion control measures years ago to keep pace with best practices, concludes a consultant’s report critical of the city’s handling of development on Burke Mountain. The city has a “perfect storm” of risk factors and needs tighter measures, better monitoring and improved customer service so problems like a midOctober deluge of mud and water down Coast Meridian Road and into creeks doesn’t happen again. At the time, local streamkeepers were aghast that mud and debris was flowing from a development down the street and into Hyde Creek, clogging pipes and potentially causing problems for fish. In the end, only one developer responsible for three sites was found to be negligent and was shut down from Oct. 15 to Nov. 5. But the city then embarked on a review of practices and hired CityWorks Consulting Corporation and RK

Storm water is diverted into retention ponds on Burke Mountain to prevent silty runoff from pouring into creeks. Innovations Inc. to look into concerns on Burke Mountain. In December, the consultants made 22 recommendations ranging from tougher bylaws to better monitoring, enforcement and customer services. According to the report, the city hasn’t been as “rigorous” as other municipalities in updating erosion and sediment control management even though it has way more risks. For example, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge have a lot of large development sites but they are relatively flat and rainfall is low to moderate. “[Coquitlam] by contrast, presents the potential ‘perfect storm’ combination of high risk factors in all areas”because of the

many medium- to largescale development sites undergoing tree removal and land clearing in steep terrain, and within proximity of environmental sensitive areas with the potential for high rainfall. The report is also critical of the city for lagging behind other municipalities in updating its erosion and sediment-control procedures, which elsewhere have “evolved tremendously over the last eight years in the Metro Vancouver region.” Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s manager of development services, said all of the recommendations will be followed, with a priority being a new erosion and sediment control bylaw by October, when the next rainy season starts. “We have pretty high

risk factors, we have more rainfall, significantly more, and we need to manage that,” Allueva said. The city would also like to see signs posted on development sites with phone numbers people can call with concerns about erosion and sediment control. But some of the consultants’ recommendations need the input of the development industry and Allueva said consultation is now taking place on a new show home permit policy that would enable developers to build demonstration show homes quickly while still making sure that services are in place for safety and erosion control. When heavy rain storms are predicted, Allueva said, staff will visit construction sites armed with weather warnings to make sure proper erosion and sediment-control measures are in place, and will shut down sites that aren’t prepared. For now, though, developers seem to be taking appropriate precautions. “We had no reported problems over the last week. There’s a heightened sensitivity to this. A lot of developers know we did shut down those sites [in October] due to the situation,”Allueva said.

Um, Metro who?

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

■ WHAT WE THINK:

sk a Lower Mainland resident who takes care of our garbage, water and sewage, and even air quality, most people draw a blank. Although these services are what makes the region liveable and healthy, most people pay no attention to Metro Vancouver — the government body that looks after those items. Is that shocking? Sure it is, given that Metro Van will spend about $635 million this year — about $450 per household. According to recent polls, just 8% of the population knows that Metro Vancouver is responsible for these important services and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore wants to change that (see story, page A14). Moore chairs the board of directors (mayors and city councillors) who make multi-million-dollar decisions on new facilities, such as the new ultraviolet disinfection project, a $110-million water treatment plant under construction in Coquitlam. He faces an uphill battle, however, and our best advice is to show how Metro’s major, crucial services are tied to something small: people’s wallets.

The short-lived reign of the angry hockey fan AS I SEE IT Nick Greenizan

ur long national nightmare is over. No doubt you’ve heard by now — the information reached even those living under that figurative rock — that the National Hockey League is back, the league and its players’ association having agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement 113 days into a lockout that drove most hockey fans to the brink. At best, it was an exercise in frustration, as TV highlights were swapped for clips of miserable-looking reporters huddled in the cold outside hotels, awaiting even a morsel of news. At worst, it was the most unnecessary stoppage in the history of pro sports as millionaire athletes battled billionaire owners for months, only to reach a deal that many pundits say could’ve been struck in September. And the fans were pawns in it all, waiting, waiting, waiting for their precious game to be

returned to them, like a ball that’s been lost over a neighbour’s fence. But it’s back, that ball returned, and in the time it takes to drop a puck, the fans who’d previously been outraged were overjoyed. Gone, mostly, were threats of ticket-buying boycotts or jersey-burnings or angry 140-character proclamations on Twitter stating the NHL had lost them as fans for good. Sure, there are some who will follow through on threats to leave the league behind but most will come back. They’ll shell out for ticket packages and jerseys again, for $6 arena hotdogs, and $30 parking spots. They’ll come back in droves, because they always do. Fans barely batted an eye in 1992 after a 10day mid-season players’ strike threatened the beginning of the playoffs. They came back for the lockout-shortened season of 1994/’95. They even returned after the last work stoppage, in 2004/’05, wiped out the season entirely. Noted philosopher George W. Bush clearly wasn’t speaking with hockey fans in mind when he once proclaimed“Fool me once, shame

on you.You fool me, can’t get fooled again.” Not in Canada, Dubya, where those burned jerseys are always replaced by clean, new ones and the reign of the Last Angry Fan is a short one. And don’t think for a second that the NHL, headed by every fan’s favourite punching bag, commissioner Gary Bettman, doesn’t realize it, too. He knows as well as anyone that a few platitudes directed to the fans will be enough. The anger always fades. Case in point: a ctv.ca story in which upset fans — angry enough to vent to national press — vowed to boycott the first 10 games of the upcoming 48-game season. Ten games. That’ll teach ’em. This isn’t to suggest fans shouldn’t come back if they so desire nor should they necessarily feel like schmucks if they do. Fans are fans, unabashed, and after being without the game they love for months, who is to say they should punish themselves further with a boycott? For the sake of proving some greater point which, in all likelihood, will go ignored?

Puh-lease. This is the part where I admit that I’ll be back, too. It’s a delicate balancing act, juggling fandom with feelings of betrayal, and it isn’t something I necessarily feel great about — like a parent rewarding a child’s bad behaviour — but on Jan. 19, when the games begin, I’ll be there in front of the TV. Will I buy tickets and jerseys and spend my hard-earned money to support my favourite team? Maybe not. But I won’t be boxing up a basement full of memorabilia and tossing my Henrik Sedin jersey into a bag to send to goodwill, either. I’ll watch. I’ll cheer. Coaches will be secondguessed, failed power-plays will be loudly panned, beers will be consumed, high-fives will be plentiful. I will be, for better or worse, a fan once more. Fooled again.

Library a centre of learning F

ifteen million dollars seems a lot to spend on Coquitlam’s new Town Centre library branch. Was it worth it? Do we still need libraries? My younger, more digitally inclined colleague says bricks-and-mortar repositories of books and other physical information, if not obsolete now, will soon be edifices of an analogue age. He correctly points out that we are careening into a virtual world. It seems just months ago that Blockbusters started closing their doors. Now, I can download anything directly to my TV, making DVDs and my almost brand new Blu-ray player pointless. So I don’t need to collect books or movies on a shelf, or even on a hard drive anymore; they are virtually at my fingertips. Books are antique, despite boomer nostalgia for the sacred“physical experience”of reading. So why would we need libraries, the Googled definition of which is: “a place set apart to contain books, periodicals, and other materials for reading, study, or reference...” We need libraries because they offer us social services beyond just storing and accessing information. Libraries offer curated, organized and focussed information, both physical and virtual; and they offer infor-

mation professionals to help people interpret and weed out subjective information. Libraries offer people intellectual freedom and privacy, and solitude in a social setting.The library is a healthier environment than is parking alone in front of a bedroom laptop, reading between tweets, emails, virtual bullying and solicitous pop-ups. Libraries provide a locus for learning and study, an escape from the hurly burly and speed of digital life; they’re as valuable as community centres or ice rinks, especially for young people, who need both safe activity and supervised solitude for their personal development. A recent study showed that 44% of Americans under the poverty line use libraries for internet access and job seeking; libraries, thus, make access to information egalitarian. Libraries also focus on regional and Canadian heritage and local community events, reinforcing a sense of community. No matter how ubiquitous and virtual information becomes, we will still need libraries to provide a public, calm, pleasant sanctuary that focusses on lifelong learning. Sure, $15 million is a bit steep but Coquitlam’s new library will be an invaluable and well-used community resource — with or without books.

My questions got answered and I felt like I was kept in the loop. No, there are not enough care workers to go around but they do the very best they can. I only hope our government sees the need for more nurses and doctors before all us baby boomers need to be taken care of. A big thank you to everyone at Eagle Ridge Hospital. Carol Elmore, Coquitlam

Metro battles ignorance & critics, says PoCo mayor BLack Press

Metro Vancouver has an image problem. Too few residents know what the regional district is or that its $635-million budget is mainly geared to deliver drinking water, treat sewage and deal with garbage. Polling conducted by Metro last year found just 8% of residents knew what it was — 13% knew it by its formal name, the Greater Vancouver Regional District — and many of those who were aware confused it with TransLink, the region’s transportation authority. “We have some work to do,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said in a year-end interview. The Port Coquitlam mayor said the region will aim to better communicate its role, without spending any extra money. “Metro Vancouver needs to do a better job of letting people know about the billion litres of water that we clean a day — and that nothing goes wrong with it.” Instead, he admits, the regional district is often criticized as too focused on green initiatives and immersed in decisions such as whether to ban smoking in regional parks. And then there’s the ongoing debate on building a new garbage incinerator, fought by Fraser Valley opponents who fear more air pollution. It’s sure to be a source of continued controversy this year, as prospective partner firms are identified and a list of proposed sites is made public by fall. Moore admits to “frustration” with some opponents who portray the waste-to-energy project as a costly boondoggle in the making without talking to regional officials or proposing a viable alternative. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation and the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association of BC have both slammed the expected $450-million price tag. “I find it disappointing when these groups

Micky’s Public House, located at 170 Golden Drive, Coquitlam, has applied to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) for permanent changes to their Liquor Primary Licence. They are applying to expand the existing licensed liquor primary area (pub) into the existing restaurant area, which would result in an increase in capacity for their Liquor Primary Licence (from 215 to 417 persons, including staff). The applicant has also applied to increase the hours of liquor service. The proposed hours of liquor service are 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Friday through Sunday.

Lower Mainland taxpayers don’t know what Metro Vancouver does

decide to come out and comment they don’t bother to talk to Metro Vancouver,” Moore said, arguing other options are not necessarily cheaper. “A landfill is over a billion dollars over that same lifespan when you look at the total life cycle of the project. And you have to deal with the liability of having garbage in the ground for the next 100 years.” Moore notes Metro’s garbage volumes are falling as the region’s ban on residential organics disposal kicks in and cities provide curbside pickup of food waste. The reduced waste flow means Metro has already scaled back the size of the expected waste-fired plant and Moore said the region is on target to slash the amount of garbage dumped at the Vancouver Landfill in Delta to below 100,000 tonnes per year by 2020. It will be more difficult, he said, to achieve the next stage of the organic waste shift — getting all multi-family condo buildings and businesses to also put all compostibles in green bins instead of the trash. Metro has yet to face a major test of its new Regional Growth Strategy, the master plan for development across the region signed in 2011 and cornerstone of efforts to contain sprawl and ensure livability. But cities should soon begin submitting their regional context statements for board approval.

$ for water, sewage continued from page A14

They’re the contracts by which each municipality pledges to ensure local land-use plans conform with the designations and goals in the regional strategy. The region will also be on the hunt for government cost-sharing on major projects, such as the planned $600-million replacement of the Lions Gate sewage treatment plant to ensure secondary treatment of discharges to Burrard Inlet. Metro has opted to postpone design work on the longer-term $800-million rebuild of its Iona treatment plant. But it is designing a $450-million

expansion of the Annacis Island sewage treatment plant and a $60 million upgrade at the northwest Langley plant. Big Metro projects advancing this year include the construction of a $110-million ultraviolet water disinfection system at the Coquitlam reservoir, which delivers water to the eastern third of the region. A $250-million water tunnel will also be built under the Fraser River to increase the supply of water for the growing population south of the river and replace an existing line considered too vulnerable in an earthquake. “One of the key things

you need after a major natural disaster is clean water,”Moore said. But another big project that’s been underway for years still won’t be finished by the end of the year. Twin tunnels are still being completed to take water from the Capilano reservoir to the new Seymour-Capilano Treatment Plant, which is filtering water from Seymour reservoir. Metro fired and replaced the original tunnel-building firm after it halted work, citing hazardous conditions, causing a lengthy delay for the $817-million project, now slated to be finished in early 2014.

Anmore gets cash to work for local seniors Anmore was among 27 B.C. communities this week to receive an “age-friendly” grant from the provincial government. The village north of Port Moody is getting $19,910 from the Ministry of Health to help create programs or services for seniors living in that municipality. The age-friendly planning and project grant program is a partnership between the government and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. Applications are scored on a variety of factors, including goals, proposed activities, involvement of seniors and other key partners, budget, innovation and sustainability. Since 2007, 117 communities have received funding to support age-friendly planning and projects around the province. Examples include ensuring services are more accessible, supporting transportation and social connection to help prevent social isolation, and improving the community by increasing garden and green space.

Acid in our oceans affects fish and humans green scene Elaine Golds On our way to empty oceans?

hen the 18th United Nations Conference on Climate Change concluded on Dec 8, the 15-year-old Kyoto Protocol was kept alive, although in a much weakened state. An impressive number of 200 nations agreed to extend the agreement until 2020. But, given that the protocol covers only industrialized nations and some, including Canada, have already pulled out, the renewed protocol now covers only 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Nonetheless, these countries agreed to reduce their emissions 18% below their 1990 level by some time before 2020. Canada, which took the backwards step of pulling out of Kyoto a year ago, has been put to shame by these more progressive nations. British Columbia has already been hit hard by the impacts of global warming and it’s about to get far worse.

ANDRE CHAN PHOTO

“I cannot imagine our ocean without salmon, whales or coral reefs,” writes Elaine Golds. “But estimates are that the ocean will be dangerously acidic by 2050” — and greenhouse gas emissions are to blame. Historically, we have relied on fish and forestry to sustain the economy of this province.The beetle outbreak, caused by winters that are no longer cold enough to kill beetle larvae, has hugely impacted forests across most of the province. Because beetle-killed wood is still being harvested, the full economic impacts of this timber loss have not yet been felt. By 2018, however, 16 major sawmills are expected to close in B.C. and lumber exports to the U.S. are predicted to drop by 50%.

Following hard on the heels of our forests, our coastal marine environment appears to be next on the hit list of impacts from global warming. Not all of the carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels remains in the atmosphere, where it traps heat. Luckily, approximately half of it has been removed thanks to natural processes, some of the so-called ecosystem services of nature. Of this half, about 20% has been taken up by terrestrial plants as they grow. (There is still no better

way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than the simple act of planting a tree, which sequesters carbon in the form of wood.) The remaining 30% of this carbon dioxide has been removed by the oceans. But as this carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean, it reacts with water to form carbonic acid. As a consequence, the ocean has become more acidic.To date, the pH of the ocean has dropped by 0.1 unit because of fossil fuel emissions.This may not seem

like much but pH is calculated on a logarithmic scale so this drop in pH represents about a 30% rise in the concentration of hydrogen ions. This increase in acidity is not uniformly distributed in the ocean; rather, it is concentrated in areas where deep waters upwell along some coasts. These upwelling waters also carry nutrients to the surface and, thus, create some of the most biologically productive areas in the ocean. One such area of upwelling is along the

west coast of B.C. and the U.S.A.The increasing acidity of the ocean here is now beginning to have an impact on the development of shelled organisms such as oysters, clams, scallops and mussels.That’s because the increasing acidity of our oceanic waters is decreasing the concentration of carbonate in water; this carbonate is a critical compound required by all marine organisms with shells because they incorporate this carbonate into their shells. In a more acid ocean, their shells will essentially dissolve. In the state of Washington, oyster growers are already reporting problems raising their larvae because of acidic waters. And it is not simply the shellfish that people eat which are threatened by an increasingly acidic ocean.The food chain in the ocean is utterly dependent on a larger number of much smaller shelled creatures; these include copepods, pteropods, coccolithophores and other zooplankton that form the basis of the food chain that sustains most fish species, including salmon and all marine mammals. If zooplankton can no longer make their shells, they will die. If they dis-

appear, then the fish and marine mammals that feed on them will starve. In tropical waters, coral reefs which account for much of the biodiversity of the ocean also require carbonate for their formation. A more acidic ocean has been identified as an outcome of increased concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide for many years. What has stunned scientists is how quickly this problem has developed. I cannot imagine our ocean without salmon, whales or coral reefs. But estimates are that the ocean will be dangerously acidic by 2050. I have never heard of a more compelling reason for us to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions than imagining an empty ocean, bereft of its marine mammals, fish and reefs. Surely, we have an obligation to future generations to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and stop this ecological catastrophe from unfolding.

It has been a year since I had my first treatments and I am still pain free. I am an athlete that couldn’t play any sport for almost 2 years. I tried EVERY treatment known. In a perfect world someone will find a way to make your treatment machines large enough to handle the whole body at once. I can’t thank you enough for getting me back on the fields I missed so much.

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Helping the hospital, new fine arts wing

Has your WorkSafe BC claim or short term / long term disability claim been denied?

A HEALTHY CAUSE LEFT: A foundation that supports Port Moody’s Eagle Ridge Hospital got a cash injection last month from Innovative Fitness. The personal training company, which opened in Suter Brook Village three years ago, handed over $14,628 to the ERHF — money that was raised over the year through a golf tournament and the third annual Train the Trainer. The latter event, which brought in $11,660, gives Innovative Fitness clients a chance to put their trainers to the test.

Alzheimer Society campaign tackles stigma of dementia If a close friend told you she has dementia, would you avoid her for fear of being embarrassed by what she might say or do? If you answered“yes,” you’re not alone. According to a recent poll by Alzheimer’s Disease International, 40% of people with dementia reported they had been avoided or treated differently after diagnosis. It’s no surprise, then, that one in four respondents cited stigma as a reason to conceal their diagnosis, says Dorothy Leclair, the Coquitlam and North Fraser support and education co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society of BC. That’s why the society has chosen“See me, not my disease. Let’s talk about dementia”as the theme of the annual Alzheimer Awareness Month, which runs through January nationally. The goal is to ad-

dress myths about the disease, shift attitudes and make it easier to talk about dementia, says Leclair. “Stereotypes and misinformation are what prevent people with dementia from getting the help they need and stop others from taking the disease seriously,”she said in a press release. For example, Alzheimer’s disease is more than having the occasional“senior moment” or losing your keys. It is a progressive degenerative brain disorder that affects each person differently — and it is fatal. “Although one in three Canadians know someone with dementia, it is not discussed as openly as other chronic illnesses, so the prevalence is there but the conversation isn’t yet and that’s what we hope to address,”explains Leclair. Today, 747,000 Canadians have dementia, 70,000 whom

are British Columbians. While dementia can affect people as young as 40 years of age, the risk doubles every five years after 65. The number of Canadians with dementia is expected to double to 1.4 million in the next 20 years, including more than 177,000 British Columbians. “By talking more openly about dementia,” Leclair said,“we can all help to increase awareness about the symptoms, encourage earlier diagnosis and provide support for families to have the confidence and skills for the journey ahead.” To help change the conversation, she says, area residents can do their part if they: • Learn the facts about dementia. • Help to dispel inaccurate information to change society’s attitudes and opinions towards people with the

disease. • Stop making jokes about Alzheimer’s as they trivialize the condition. • Maintain relationships with people with dementia at home, in the community or at work, especially as the disease progresses. To learn more about the Let’s Talk About Dementia campaign, visit www.alzheimerbc. org. For information on local assistance, including support and information groups and educational seminars, contact Leclair at 604-298-0780 or dleclair@alzheimerbc. org. Alzheimer Society of BC provides a provincewide network of support, education and information resources for families impacted by dementia. It also advocates for better dementia health care and raises money to fund research. newsroom@tricitynews.com

t is a common experience that people’s NewYear’s resolutions don’t work. Have you ever wondered why it is that you start out the NewYear gung-ho with your new commitments to exercise regularly, stop smoking or to lose that 15 or 50 pounds, only to eventually sabotage your efforts and end up feeling like a failure? Well, it depends on where you are coming from in first making a resolution. It is prudent to ask yourself why you want to make this change. Often, people will say that they mostly want to feel good about themselves. Often, they think accomplishing a resolution will make them happier, or even just happy.They think they will be happy in life when they just lose weight, stop smoking or get to the gym three times a week. Although these are admirable goals for their health-inducing benefits, reaching them will not make people happier. Thinking that changing oneself in any way will, in itself, make one happy is erroneous thinking. It is the“if only”mind game and what is fuelling this thinking is an underlying belief that“I am not good enough”or“I am not enough”or“I am not OK or loveable”just as I am. We are first and foremost already rejecting ourselves. Most people experience this“not good enough”state at some time in their life. If they try to make external changes, such as losing weight, for example, they cannot sustain feeling good about themselves with a foundation of underlying“not good enough”or“unworthy” thoughts and feelings. The real change needed is a shift in perception. Start by adopting an attitude of compassion toward yourself. Stop judging and rejecting yourself, and practise selfacceptance instead. If it’s a change in your body that you seek, look in a full-length mirror and send love to your body, especially to the areas that you do not like. If you want to quit smoking, then you must learn to be compassionate with yourself, accept

and love yourself even as a smoker. It isn’t going to help at all to beat yourself up by thinking negative thoughts about yourself. It is only by accepting and making peace with what is — and knowing

that you are OK, worthy, enough, good enough and loveable just for being who you are — that you can then take successful steps in the direction of your goals. As you consider your desired dreams for 2013,

remember to first offer yourself compassion, love and self-acceptance. From this starting point, you can create within yourself the strong foundation that can support real change and lasting results.

ful plants in glass containers is catching on, not only because they are unique but also because the care they require is minimal. Folks who previously had difficulty looking after plants can now relax and enjoy. Almost all of these aeriums are self-contained, fit into spots where traditional plants

s we look to add some warmth and colour in our homes after the bright and cheery Christmas season, there is a new trend sweeping the world with a different style of décor. Glass containers — balls, baubles, vases and hangers — filled with easy to care for indoor plants are all the rage. They’re called aeriums and they are filled with plants like tillandsias, succulents and other fun and carefree tropicals. Aeriums need some indirect window light to ensure quality growth but that’s about it. All you truly have to do is mist tillandsias and air plants with warm water once a day or for succulents, simply check to see if the media in which they are growing is somewhat moist. In a glass environment, resilient tropicals just need a bit of misting or a moisture check once a week. It’s really that simple. I love the fact they are equally at home on a window sill, coffee table, desk or any convenient place in your home or office. They can also hang in windows, from the ceiling or from decorative light fixtures. The old terrarium look has been taken over by larger clear glass vases and bowls containing a single specimen plant displayed with artistic flair. All that’s needed is a bit of

can’t and are tidy and clean. They are a lot of fun and many garden stores now carry them for you to try. Empty clear glass containers are also available if you’re feeling particularly creative to plant your own. Aeriums are a nice and easy way to add warmth and life into your winter home.

well-drained soil and some horticultural charcoal on the bottom and for a finishing touch a covering of moss, a creeping evergreen fern or colourful stones in the colours of your home décor. For a very“in”look, heart-shaped anthuriums with their beautiful foliage and vibrant blossoms can have the soil carefully washed off, revealing colourful white and pink roots and they can look beautiful for months sitting in a clear glass vase of water. Peace Lilies (spathiphyllum) don’t perform quite as well but they, too, look great displayed this way. Hardy water plants such as water rushes (Jucus effusus) do very well in household situations. Both the straight and curly forms can expose their attractive white roots in a clear glass container of water. This whole new trend of introducing beauti-

Teams ready for AAA tourney Gary McKenna The TRi-CiTy News

Tri-City residents will get a preview of what the AAA senior girls’ basketball season will look like this year when ten teams meet for the annual Centennial Top 10 Shootout tournament in Coquitlam later this month. The event, which will take place at Centennial secondary between Jan. 17 and Jan. 19, will feature top-ranked teams from the Tri-Cities along with clubs from as far away as Vancouver Island. Riverside of PoCo, which is ranked first in the B.C. high school sports rankings, will take on Kelowna on the first day, while the fifthranked Gleneagle Talons of Coquitlam will take on Surrey’s Handsworth secondary. PoCo’s Terry Fox, which is currently ranked 12th in the league, will play the South Kamloops Titans in the opening round. The tournament comes as teams from across the Fraser Valley begin the regular season battle for a berth in the provincial championships in March. Riverside, which is 3-1 in exhibition play, took on the Yale Lions earlier on Tuesday, defeating the visiting club 63-57. Meanwhile, the Talons did not have as strong a start to its regular season on Monday, dropping a game agains the sixth-seed Maple Ridge Ramblers 55-45. The Centennial Centaurs, which his ranked 10th in the league, will take on Tri-City rivals the Riverside Rapids on Tuesday in their opener, while Terry Fox kicks the year with a match against the MEI Eagles of Abbotsford.

It was the soccer equivalent of David taking on Goliath when the top-seeded Port Moody Gunners defeated Aldergrove United 3-0 last weekend in Fraser Valley Soccer League under-21 action. The Gunners, who are 14-0-2 on the season had no trouble piling up goals against the basement dwelling United squad, which has managed only one win this season.

Legal Beagle kicks off Ravens, Talons only Tri-City talent at annual b-ball tourney Gary McKenna The TRi-CiTy News

The Fraser Valley North division leaders the Terry Fox Ravens of PoCo will have a chance to showcase its talent for the hometown

crowd when the school hosts the Legal Beagle AAA boys’ basketball tournament this week. Fox has gone gone 3-0 in tournament play and won its first regular season game of the season — a 70-42 rout — against the Charles Best secondary Blue Devils of Coquitlam. The Ravens were expected to take on Sardis in the first round of the Legal Beagle, which

was scheduled to take place after The Tri-City News’ deadline. Gleneagle, which is ranked fourth in the Fraser Valley North standings, is the only other Tri-City team at this year’s tournament and was expected to play Kitsilano secondary Thursday night as well. If the two Tri-City clubs hope to make it to the finals, which take

place on Saturday at 7:15 p.m., they will have to get past some tough competition. The participating clubs, which includes A b b o t s f o r d We s t Division leaders Walnut Grove and the topranked Kitsilano Blue Demons, are considered to be some of the toughest competition in the league this year. see AAA, page 35

As Lower Mainland temperatures cool, fish become slow and sluggish TIGhT LINeS Jeff Weltz Still plenty of fish this winter

tri-city newS file photo

The 24th annual Legal Beagle AAA basketball tournament will feature some of the best teams in the Lower Mainland, including the top-ranked Kitsilano secondary and Walnut Grove.

AAA play is underway continued from page 34

Depending on how the first round match ups finish, teams will play at 3:15 and 5 p.m. today (Friday) before the semifinals begin at 6:45 and 8:30 p.m. The final game of the tournament is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. with all games taking place at Terry Fox secondary. The 24th annual Legal Beagle tourney begins as the regular season kicks off for AAA high school basketball teams across

the region. Centennial had its home opener on Tuesday, defeating neighbouring Port Moody 73-49. The Pinetree Ti m b e r wo l ve s a l s o started the season off with a loss, when the club was defeated 68-34 during a visist to North Surrey secondary. Meanwhile, the Heritage Woods Kodiaks defeated the Riverside Rapids 60-35 during a game in Port Coquitlam on Tuesday. sports@tricitynews.com

Cats’ give up another game The Port Moody Black Panthers continued to struggle through its Pacific Junior Hockey League season, with its latest loss coming at the hands of the Grandview Steelers on home ice Saturday night. The Cats’, who are 5-25-1-0 on the season, managed only one goal in a 6-1 loss to the Steelers, who dominated the game from the opening face off to the final buzzer. Grandview started the game off with a power play goal from Vik Sanghera, added markers from Truman Gonzales and Malcom Glaholt in the second, be-

fore Port Moody got on the board. The Panthers’ Rayne Schwinghammer managed to sneak the puck past Steelers goalie Christian Pickles to make it 3-1 at 9:21 of the third. But that would that was all Port Moody’s offense could muster in front of the home town crowd, and the team surrendered three unanswered goals to close out the game. The next home game takes place on Saturday at 7:45 p.m. against the Ridge Meadows Flames at the Port Moody Arena. For more information go to www.portmoodyblackpanthers.com.

ne of the many blessings of living in our B.C. Lower Mainland is that while one fishery is in respite, another takes its place. And so as we close out 2012, bidding farewell to the salmon in our rivers, we enter 2013 welcoming the steelhead. For this occasion I have selected another piece on steelhead fishing from The Anglers Coast, authored by

Russell Chatham: “He decided upon a certain riffle that had attracted him earlier, and on the way there he passed a smooth run — one he’d fished the day before — where a fly fisherman was fighting a steelhead. Moments later he arrived at a bridge where a spin fisherman was absurdly playing a fish from the high span. He turned onto a dirt road that followed the river. Warm light flowed against the hills and over the bright red sumac a covey of quail whirred. It was a good sign to have seen two fish… “A brilliant female lay forward of the rest. She was broad and heavy, her sides like motherof-pearl. She held like

a sentinel, as if challenging the river and the flickering sunlight. The angler cast, quartering down, mended his line once, then waited tensely as his fly swung around. The cast was essentially no different from any other, over water much the same as that above and below. But when the tiny fly tilted into the steelhead’s sight, she struck like a teased viper, spending a violent rush of water back among the other fish. He saw the boil but there was simply no time to react; his flyless leader streamed away in the current. The fish leaped high into the air, somersaulting back. Again it jumped, tailwalking sideways, and he saw it framed against

the willows on the far side. Finally, upstream, it came out in a long, graceful arc. “He was stupefied, and for a long time sat dejected. Why me, he thought, but later he began to see it as a success of sorts. After all, a fish did take the fly.” Happy NewYear to all and may your New Year be fulfilled with a blessed journey.

The RepoRT

Our Lower Mainland lakes are in full winter mode, which means you can expect the fish to be slow and sluggish. For better success, try a dead slow troll or retrieve during the warmest part of the day. Also allow extra time for the fish to close its mouth

on the hook before you attempt a hook set. Try chironomid, bloodworm, coachman, Zulu, wooly bugger, dragonfly nymph, damsel nymph, halfback, sixpack, micro leach, big black, doc spratley, pumpkinhead or baggy shrimp. The Fraser River is fair for cutthroat. Try rolled muddler, professor, Anderson stone, black stone, Zulu, American coachman, flesh fly or chez nymph. The Harrison River is fair to slow for cutthroat and rainbow. For rainbow try Kaufmann stone, big black, black gnat, souboo, Zulu or renegade. The Chehalis River is low and slow.
