Average turnout in Tri-Cities Declines in voter turnout from ’09 general election By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

ote in the field, he became suspicious, chasing the animal though the Glen elementary school soccer field. “I realized, that’s what happened to my dog,” Pinilla said.

A long list of departing MLAs — both BC Liberal and NDP — are now in line for lucrative pensions, whether they retired voluntarily or were defeated at the polls.

Beware of coyotes, warns dog owner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Coquitlam dog owner lost one of his pets to a coyote last weekend and is warning others to keep their pooches on leash to avoid the same fate.

Danny Pinilla would also like to see a sign posted at Glen Park, where his chihuahuapomeranian cross was killed and eaten to warn others about an animal he believes is living in the adjacent forest. “I just want people to

know so they take more care,” Pinilla said as he walked through the park this week with his other dog, Paco, in tow. The Coquitlam granite countertop fabricator said he was out for an early-morning dog walk last Sunday with his two

pets, Lina and Paco. The dogs jumped out of the car and were running toward the nearby offleash dog park when the female, Lina, simply disappeared “in a matter of seconds.” He searched the area and when he saw a coy-

Voter turnout in the Tri-Cities was slightly lower than in the rest of the province but the numbers varied depending on the riding, according to statistics from Elections BC. Overall, 51.5% (76,293) of registered voters in the four local ridings cast ballots in the 2013 general election, compared to 52% across the province. The riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam, where BC Liberal Linda Reimer won over incumbent NDP MLA Joe Trasolini, had the highest voter turnout of the four, with 53.9%, while Coquitlam-Burke Mountain had the lowest, with 47.9%. CoquitlamMaillardville saw 51.7% of registered voters cast ballots while 52.3% voted in Port Coquitlam. While the 2013 numbers are not official (the results will be finalized on May 29), they allow for some comparison with the 2009 figures.

He wants other dog walkers to be aware the coyote could be a threat to small dogs and would like the city to put up a warning sign.

Local Liberals joining Horne in legislature By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA-elect Doug Horne said he is looking forward to having some fellow Tri-City BC Liberals to carpool with when he travels to Victoria for legislative sessions. Horne had been the lone BC Liberal in the area since 2011, when Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA (and the minister of labour and citizens services) Iain Black stepped down, prompting a byelection that NDP candidate Joe Trasolini won. But after Tuesday’s election, Horne will now be joined by Linda Reimer in Port MoodyCoquitlam and — likely — Steve Kim in Coquitlam-Maillardville, pending the results of an expected judicial recount. “We have a great t e a m ,” H o r n e s a i d Thursday morning. “I have known Linda for many years and she works so hard for the community... and Steve Kim, who has some great experience and has been very involved in the Korean community.” Now that there are three representatives from the Tri-Cities sitting on the government side of the legislature, Horne said there is a strong

possibility a cabinet minister will be named from the area. As the MLA who has been in government the longest, Horne believes there is a good chance he will be chosen. “Obviously, having been the senior member from here, I would assume it would go my way,” he said. “But it is up to the premier. She makes those decisions and there are a number or factors to who is in cabinet and who is not.” NDP challenger Chris Wilson was still cleaning up his campaign office on Thursday when he was contacted by The Tri-City News. But two days after B.C. voters served his party an unexpected defeat, he said he was still in shock over the election results. “I never saw it coming,” he said. “The response I was getting, for the most part, was very positive. I was quite surprised by the voter turnout.” Despite his loss, Wilson said he will continue to be a strong advocate for the community. He is also considering a run for the council seat that is expected to be left vacant by Coun. Reimer after her win in Port Moody-Coquitlam. “I haven’t decided yet,” Wilson said. “It is still a little early.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Farnworth wins again but ‘extremely disappointed’ By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Before the election, he was so confident. There was momentum behind the NDP and Mike Farnworth was sure the ruling BC Liberals were going to be crushed as his party was when Gordon Campbell became premier and he was sacked from office. Yesterday, the Port Coquitlam MLA-elect had had two days to reflect on the results. “It’s extremely disap-

pointing,” he told The TriCity News. “Opposition is one thing but being in government, you are able to do things. “But such is life.” The popular MLA, who was first elected in 1991, said he fared slightly better on election day than in 2009. Then, after the votes were all counted, he scored 54.71% versus the BC Liberals’ Bernie Hillier at 38.85%. see ‘THIS COMES’, page 4

Coquitlam Coun. Linda Reimer (shown here at Rocky Point Park) was one of two rookie provincial politicians elected in Tuesday’s BC Liberal victory. She defeated incumbent NDP MLA — and former Port Moody mayor — Joe Trasolini in the riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam. The other newcomer is Steve Kim, who won for the BC Liberals in Coquitlam-Maillardville, although not by much. His 105-vote margin over the another Coquitlam city councillor, NDP candidate Selina Robinson, represented just half a percentage point difference in votes. DIANE STRANDBERG ThE TRI-cITy NEwS

105 votes: dejection or election By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

The clichés are working overtime as Coquitlam-Maillardville Liberal MLA-elect Steve Kim and NDP candidate Selina Robinson wait with bated breath for May 29, when the final provincial election results will be revealed. The big one? “It’s never over until it’s over.” Current Elections BC numbers show Kim squeaked past Robinson, taking 9,044 votes, or 45.98% of the vote, just 105 votes and 0.54% ahead of Robinson, who had 8,939 votes. (Green Party candidate Edward

The effect of the Greens? See page 4 Stanbrough picked up 1,687 votes, or 8.58%.) “I really didn’t think it would be this close,” said Robinson as the final results trickled in on Tuesday evening.“What it says is that Maillardville continues to be a very divided political community.” Robinson, who was gathered with family, friends and supporters at the Centennial Pavilion in Coquitlam on election night, exuded the poise of

a seasoned politician. The current Coquitlam city councillor said, regardless of the outcome, she looks forward to supporting the community — on either a municipal or provincial level. Meanwhile, Kim took a personal day Wednesday to absorb the results. Speaking from his home, Kim was cautiously optimistic, telling The Tri-City News: “It’s never over until it’s over. “It was great to see the result, yesterday,” said Kim.“At the same time it’s very close to call.” Kim, who considered himself an underdog in the CoquitlamMaillardville race, said

he was humbled by the experience. “I can’t say enough about the supporters and the team that I have,”he said. When asked about Green Party candidate Edward Stanbrough, who was missing in action during the election campaign, Kim said he commends anyone who throws their hat in the political ring and is curious to know what happened to Stanbrough. “I’m sure a lot more of the community would have liked to have heard more from him,”he said. Now the waiting game begins, with the Robinson campaign not ready to concede until all

absentee ballots are tabulated to see if the contest goes to a judicial recount. “We’re in it for the next two weeks, I’m sorry, Selina,” said Robinson’s campaign manager, Tania Jarzebiak,Tuesday night. According to Elections BC, a judicial recount is merited if the difference between the top two candidates — after the final count — is less than 1/500 of the total eligible ballots. Kim or Robinson would then have six days to file for a judicial recount. In the 2009 B.C. election, absentee ballots accounted for 5.11% of all votes cast in the province. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Crash hits incumbent Trasolini By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam city councillor will make the jump to provincial politics while an 18-year political veteran bows out after Port Moody-Coquitlam voters chose BC Liberal candidate Linda Reimer to be their new MLA. “I am deeply honoured by the faith the voters in this constituency placed in me,” said Reimer, who will soon be joining her victorious colleagues in B.C.’s capital city. Reimer’s riding was

staying on Coq. city council? See page 4 one of two northeast ridings that turned Liberal blue while the NDP’s apparent Orange Crush lead in the polls dissolved into what some are calling an“Orange Crash.” The NDP flag-carrier, Joe Trasolini, narrowly lost to Reimer after a year in the job in the typically BC Liberal-held riding, once the stronghold of

Premier Christy Clark when she was an MLA and cabinet minister under Gordon Campbell. Reimer, a former banker, school district parent representative and mother of two grown sons is excited about the change her new lifestyle will bring and pledges to make sure hassles due to Evergreen Line construction are kept to a minimum. Reimer said it will be a steep learning curve getting to know the political scene in Victoria and said she’s looking

into the possibility of retaining her civic seat in Coquitlam if it will prevent a by-election. She credited a strong team, including her youthful volunteers, a credible field of provincial candidates and a campaign that “went like clockwork”for her win. Trasolini, meanwhile, was philosophical about his loss Tuesday, saying he accepted the voters’ decision and was going to take some time to reflect on his options for the future. “I am here enjoying

life. I have been a businessman,” Trasolini said. This is the first electoral loss for the former Port Moody mayor, who was in politics 18 years mostly at the civic level. He said he is not yet ready to retire and wants to do something“useful.” At his campaign headquarters Tuesday, the atmosphere was subdued as supporters watched the polling results. Trasolini speculated that low voter turnout and a surge in Green Party vote may have hurt the NDP. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Reimer may stay on council By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

MLA-elect Linda Reimer is looking into the possibility of keeping her Coquitlam council job for the next 18 months until the next civic election to avoid a costly byelection to replace her. Immediately upon securing her victory Tuesday night, Reimer began fielding questions from constituents about her next steps and she told The TriCity News that’s an issue facing dozens of newly

elected candidates who are also sitting municipal council members. “It’s something I’ll have to discuss with my colleagues,” Reimer said, noting she has already begun doing research into the issue. There are no legal constraints to doing both jobs, the question is more about time management because both positions require a lot of effort and an MLA’s job also requires travel. Reimer noted, for example, that she might have to miss Monday night coun-

cil meetings when the legislature is sitting. There’s also the issue of remuneration and Reimer said one idea would be to donate one salary to charity. If she decided to keep both jobs, she would have some support from her council colleagues who have in the past asked the province to waive the requirement to hold a byelection. The last Coquitlam byelection — held in May 2010 after Fin Donnelly resigned his council job when he won the New

Westminster-Coquitlam MP’s seat for the federal NDP — cost Coquitlam taxpayers about $140,000 and city clerk Jay Gilbert said a byelection to replace Reimer would cost about the same. Not only are byelections costly, they are roundly ignored by voters. Turnout in 2010 to replace Fin Donnelly saw only 7.6% of eligible voters show up to elect Coun. Neil Nicholson. “I will make an informed decision,” Reimer promised. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Historical Highlights

Mary Suzanna Moody was born on April 22, 1829. She would have celebrated her 184th birthday this month. The eldest daughter of a Newcastle banker, Mary married Richard Moody in 1852. Three of her children were born in British Columbia. While stationed in B.C., Mary was a community leader involved in social functions and sponsoring dinners. Her legacy spans borders - Port Coquitlam’s Mary Hill is named after her. Sponsored by the

Green votes not wasted: Helps People should stop complaining that Green Party votes spoiled the NDP’s chance of electoral success, says party employee and Port Moody resident Rebecca Helps. The daughter of Port Moody-Coquitlam Green Party candidate Billie Helps — and a candidate herself in the Okanagan riding of Vernon-Monashee — said the Green Party is not a vote spoiler but a valid choice for voters wishing to express their values and concerns about the environment.

“People have the right to vote for the party that bests represents them,” Rebecca Helps said. “It’s not about voting for the candidate that has the best chance of winning.” She noted that her mother, who was out of the country during the election campaign, polled better than she did when she ran four years ago (8% compared to 6.59%) and the party is hoping to build a beach-head in on Vancouver Island, where Andrew Weaver was

elected in Oak-Bay Gordon Head and where even “paper” candidates polled 15%. In ridings where no Green Party candidate ran, some people spoiled their ballots, Helps said, suggesting the party needed to be represented in every riding to give people a choice but was only able to field 61 candidates. One paper candidate was Edward Stanbrough in Coquitlam-Maillardville, who, despite failing to campaign or attend the riding’s

lone all-candidates meeting and refusing media interview requests, picked up 1,687 votes, 8.58% of votes cast. In the Tri-Cities’ tightest race, some of those votes might have made a difference as newcomer Steve Kim won the seat for the BC Liberals with 9,044 votes (45.98%), just 105 votes and half a per cent more than Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson, the NDP candidate, who picked up 8,939 votes (45.44%).

‘This comes as a shock’: Farnworth continued from page 3 On Tuesday, the preliminary results had Farnworth with 52.65% — a number he expects will go up when the absentees ballots are in at the end of the month. Farnworth ran against the BC Liberals’ youngest candidate in the province, 24-year-old Barbara Lu, an Archbishop Carney regional secondary school grad and BC Liberal Party employee. On election night at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club, Lu smiled broadly as the num-

bers rolled in for her party to form majority government. “The premier, she really got us across the finish line,” Lu said yesterday. “People got the message of keeping the economy strong.” Farnworth declined to speculate if the NDP would have had a different showing had he won the 2011 party leadership race rather than Adrian Dix. “I don’t dwell or think about what-if scenarios,” he said. “The reality is you have to deal with what is —

not what might have been. Shoulda, coulda, woulda is, as we all know, not a game worth playing.” He added, “Our party was united. We felt good. The polls showed things were good. We were raising money. We were organized. I was on the doorstep and the response I was getting was very positive. “This election comes as a shock.” As for his next steps, Farnworth said he’s focused on wrapping up the contest and to get to work in rebuilding the party with

the caucus. On the riding front, he will concentrate on education — the top issue on the doorstep, he said — and getting new schools built for the growing Tri-City population. The Riverview Hospital lands and the upcoming Evergreen Line are also high on his list. Questioned about his future in politics, Farnworth said, “I still enjoy my job and, to me, that’s important.... I know, at some point, I’ll say, ‘I’ve had enough.’” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Port Coquitlam BIA

Coyotes are a common sight these days. This smallish creature was spotted mid-afternoon last weekend on a residential street in Coquitlam’s Canyon Springs subdivision.

But without confirmation, and fearful of bringing his wife the bad news, he returned with some posters seeking information and offering a reward for his pet. A thorough search of the forest near Pipeline Road revealed the bad news and it was his other dog, Paco, that alerted him to sign: a pile of fecal matter with his dog’s hair, bones and the remains of a paw clearly in evidence. He felt terrible and “in my young life, I’ve seen a lot,” Pinilla said, “But my wife is heartbroken, she got the dog as a gift.” Spurred to action, Pinilla called the BC Conservation Officer Service but was told coyotes are only destroyed if they are a danger to humans. At the very least, he would like to see a sign warning the public that a coyote is in the area. But the city’s urban wildlife coordinator says posting signs would be impractical because coyotes are everywhere and it’s up to pet owners to be cautious. Cats should be kept indoors, said Drake Stephens, who also warned, “Don’t let your dog out of your sight.” Coyotes typically eat rodents and squirrels, making them beneficial for urban environments, but Stephens says they will eat small, even medium-sized, dogs if an opportunity presents itself. Humans shouldn’t feed them, either, or they become habituated, as is the case a few years ago when two people got bit by a coyote on Burke Mountain. “I would post signs if there’s a coyote app r o a c h i n g p e o p l e ,” Stephens said. “At the same time, conservation officers don’t usually come out if it’s a case of a coyote being a coyote. If it’s approaching people that’s a different story.” If a coyote shows up in someone’s yard, he recommends scaring them away by being noisy and aggressive so they don’t become used to people. “They’re becoming bolder because we are too tolerant of them,” and culling them just encourages them to give birth to more pups, said Stephens, who lost one of his own dogs to a coyote several years ago, causing him to be more cautious and aware of the animals.

Home video helps local PoCo issues water Mounties capture thief warning on river By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It didn’t take long for Mounties to identify the suspect who last week broke into a vehicle parked in front of a home near Carnoustie Golf Course in Port Coquitlam. Thanks to footage from a surveillance video camera, members of the Coquitlam RCMP’s Prolific Target Team were able to spot the man, who Cpl. Jamie Chung said was known to police. “Luckily, this alleged criminal act has not gone unnoticed as the home owners have a video camera monitoring their property,” said Chung. “Our seasoned Prolific Target Team investigators immediately recognized who the suspect was.” The video shows the suspect quietly entering the vehicle through an unlocked door. After a quick search of the interior, he grabs several items and is able to leave the scene in about

five seconds. Chung warned drivers to lock their doors whenever they are away from a vehicle, even if it is only for a short period of time. “When bad guys know there are vehicles with unlocked doors in the area, they will come back for more,” he said. “Your insecure vehicles become a crime attractant and other residents in the neighbourhood will probably become the next victims. “It’s important to leave nothing for thieves steal inside your vehicles and lock all your doors.” It is also important to remove garage door openers, spare keys, vehicle registration papers and anything else of value from the vehicle when it is locked. He also suggested that motorists should report all suspicious activity and try to get a description of suspects and their vehicles.

Seized car did twice the speed limit An alleged speeder is facing fines and a sevenday vehicle impound after Coquitlam RCMP clocked the driver doing 121 km/h down Coast Meridian Road. The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when police were conducting routine speed enforcement along the Mary Hill Bypass. A traffic officer noticed a vehicle was approaching at an extremely high rate of speed and targeted the driver with the laser speed reader. “Given the speed limit of the area is 60 km/h, travelling at more than twice the speed limit is very dangerous,”said Cpl. Jamie Chung.“You need time to see and react before your brakes take effect and slow you down. “If traffic lights changed from green to yellow or another vehicle made a right turn in front of you, you wouldn’t be able to stop in time.” This month, police are working with ICBC on their High Risk Driving Campaign, which seeks to raise awareness about the dangers of speeding and reckless driving. • For more information about the campaign, go to www.icbc.com/roadsafety/safety-campaigns. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

■ WHAT WE THINK:

oyotes are making their homes in our neighbourhoods and green spaces, and we will have to learn to live with them. Coyotes aren’t a danger to humans unless they are fed and lose their wildness. But within minutes, they can scoop up a cat or small to medium-sized dog. What may be a terrible consequence for pet owners is just part of a coyote’s daily scrounge for food Don’t write coyotes off completely. They can be useful critters because they keep down the squirrel and rat populations but we shouldn’t get too complacent. If you see one in your yard, scare it away — and don’t let your pets out of your sight. If you see one approaching an adult or child, make sure you warn them and report the incident to a conservation officer. These animals have learned to adapt to our urban lifestyles, it’s time we learned to adapt to their presence.

Clark’s win confounds the political ‘experts’ BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he pollsters, pundits and the self-styled rebels of the BC Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the BC Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,”Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a“posi-

tive”campaign. Rubbish. Was the NDP’s long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea? “Clearly, our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,”Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history. That’s rubbish, too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bite-sized pieces in a classic frontrunner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters. Dix’s most dramatic policy shift contributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform co-chairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in and out of Vancouver harbour.

At least now more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game. Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a“pipe dream”that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency and his goal of a provincial breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C.

Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing, though. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t because her party’s financial advantage is too great but the time has come for this important reform. The BC Liberals’ much-discussed“balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an untested budget and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

FACE TO FACE: Was the BC Liberal victory truly surprising – and why?

B.C. wants freeenterprise gov’t A

lot of us who talk and write about politics will be spending the weekend eating crow. Somehow, our predictions for the B.C. election were off — way off. In hindsight, none of us should have underestimated Christy Clark and her prowess as a campaigner. Undoubtedly, the BC Liberals got some help from the BC Conservatives, who kept shooting themselves in the foot. The provincial Tories lost four candidates since the beginning of the campaign, three candidates didn’t register in time to run officially under the Conservative banner and John Cummins performed poorly in both leaders’ debates. More importantly, however, the BC Liberals ran a textbook perfect campaign that political strategists across the country should emulate. The experienced BC Liberal strategists were able to raise more money than the NDP, get more high-profile endorsements and win the battle on social media. They also implemented the right strategy: attack, attack, attack. Quite simply, it’s what we learn in Marketing 101. If you say something often enough, people are going to start to believe it. The BC Liberals tried to sell the narrative that Dix was a flip-flopper, that he lacked in-

tegrity (see: memo-gate), and that it’s the“same old NDP”of the 1990s that decimated our economy. Every chance they had — on TV, on radio, on social media, at debates and onYouTube — all BC Liberal candidates repeated those messages. Were the messages always truthful? It didn’t matter. People listened and the strategy clearly worked. In contrast, Dix and the NDP chose not to go negative and it hurt them. So here we are with a sizeable BC Liberal majority. Over the past year, I’ve used this space to criticize Premier Christy Clark: I’ll admit it, I haven’t been a fan of hers or her politics-beforepolicy style of governance. But the people have spoken. Overwhelmingly, the people have chosen a free-enterprise government. The people understand that you don’t create jobs by increasing the tax burden on small businesses and individuals. British Columbians clearly believe that stymying our natural resource sectors is a recipe for economic malaise. Clark isn’t perfect and certainly has her foibles. But having a rightleaning business-friendly government isn’t such a bad thing. So, yes, I’m eating crow after the election. But I’m eating it happily.

Port Port Moody’s Moody’s History History in in Pictures Pictures

Coming together for owl The Editor, It isn’t often something truly heartwarming happens, though it did to me recently. I was on the Trans Canada Trail near the Coquitlam River with a friend when a man with a dog asked if we’d seen the owl in the tree nearby. When we stopped to rest, I looked up and saw a barred owl clinging precariously to a branch in a trailside alder. As a member of Burke Mountain Naturalists, an d havin g vo lunteered at Wildlife Rescue Association, I observed it was strange that an owl,

largely nocturnal, would appear so close to a pedestrian trail corridor and not fly away when it saw domestic predators like people and dogs approaching. It ignored a raven and hummingbird harassing it closely, also unusual. I observed that one wing sat higher than the other, awkwardly held out from the body. It appeared weak and vulnerable, not like the strong, independent raptor it is, although it is not unusual for an animal to be present near water sources when badly injured. I returned home and contacted Wildlife Rescue, which connected me with

Laura, a volunteer from OWL (Orphaned Wildlife). Laura and her son Paul picked me up and brought heavy gloves, thick towels and a carrier to safely transport the injured bird to a veterinarian. While we stood at the base of the tree, debating how best to retrieve it, Rob Milne, a Coquitlam firefighter, and his dog Duke came along. He saw the difficulty and returned shortly with rappelling and protective gear. He climbed another tree and reached out for the stricken owl, which fainted and fell to the ground. Laura and Paul quickly donned gloves

and retrieved the distressed bird, covering its head and talons with a towel, calming it. She examined its shattered wing. This owl would have starved to death or become prey to other animals, domestic or wild, if help hadn’t arrived in time. It’s refreshingly gratifying when people come together to assist those with no voice. Thanks to everyone who assisted, giving this beautiful critter a chance to recover and be released back into its natural habitat one day. Judy Donaghey, Port Coquitlam

Now she is free from the pain and misery and became a happy and healthy person.

Mr. Dix: Defeat was your fault, please resign now The Editor, The following is a letter I sent to NDP leader Adrian Dix: I thought the Toronto Maple Leafs’ collapse against the Boston Bruins was monumental, until Tuesday’s election results. At least the Leafs worked hard to build up a lead before surrendering it. All the NDP had to do was sit back and watch Christie Clark and her BC

Liberals make mistake after mistake, pile on the scandal and generally demonstrate their complete inability to run B.C. And yet, the NDP still lost. It is time for you to resign, immediately. Take the blame for this debacle.You can hang it on your advisors but this loss is, ultimately, on you. Your campaign was lifeless, limp, apologetic, uninspiring and dull. Why

didn’t you hammer the BC Liberals for their dozens and dozens of misdeeds, mistakes and outright chicanery? You didn’t want to run a negative campaign? Please. That is exactly — exactly — what the BC Liberals wanted. I am sick about what happened and it is going to be years before we can get them out of office. Do the right thing, sir, and resign now so the

$26M in payouts continued from front page

Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates the total payouts to MLAs who didn’t win or seek re-election could top $26 million. The government injects $4 for every dollar politicians contribute and the resulting pensions are also inflation adjusted. “The MLA pension payout ATM is spitting out cash at a rate taxpayers can only dream of,” CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “A dozen former MLAs will soon join the million-dollar pension club — while most of us are scraping together every nickel we can find for our own retirements.” Departing NDP MLAs in the Lower Mainland and their estimated payouts to age 80 include: Surrey-Fleetwood NDP MLA Jagrup Brar ($555,000), Delta North NDP MLA Guy Gentner ($500,000), CoquitlamMaillardville’s Diane Thorne ($461,000) and Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge MLA Michael Sather ($490,000). Several

others, including Port Moody-Coquitlam byelection winner Joe Trasolini, get nothing because they have less than the six years of service required to qualify. Outgoing BC Liberal MLAs include: Gordon Campbell in VancouverPoint Grey ($1.7 million), Colin Hansen in Vancouver-Quilchena ($1.54 million), Barry Penner in ChilliwackHope ($1.35 million), Kevin Falcon in SurreyCloverdale ($1.09 million), Randy Hawes in Abbotsford-Mission ($847,000), Harry Bloy in Burnaby-Lougheed ($720,000), Chilliwack’s John Les ($835,000), Surrey-Tynehead’s Dave Hayer ($824,000) and Joan McIntyre in West Vancouver-Sea to Sky ($568,000). Defeated Abbotsford independent John Van Dongen, who served for years as a BC Liberal, exits with a pension valued at $1.48 million. First-year payouts range from $30,000 to as much as $98,000 in Campbell’s case.

Exiting MLAs also get up to 15 months of severance at the $101,859 MLA annual salary and there’s a top-up if the politician takes a job at less than six figures. They’re also eligible for up to $9,000 in “training”funds. “Not only do these MLAs receive overly generous pensions, they get a severance package and training money,” Bateman said. “Taxpayers are on the hook for millions just to transition these politicians back to the real world.” He noted the BC Liberals ran against “gold-plated” pensions in 1996 and then NDP premier Glen Clark brought in a fairer, dollar-for-dollar system. But the BC Liberals in 2007 brought back ultra-generous pensions and let MLAs buy back missing years of service. The CTF didn’t include Premier Christy Clark in its calculation but says if she doesn’t get a seat elsewhere, her lifetime pension would be $1.03 million. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Piprell out as library director, city of Coq. seeks replacement By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

The chair of the Coquitlam Public Library (CPL) board said trustees will be looking for a new director following the recent departure of Rhiann Piprell. On Wednesday, Jack Trumley declined to comment on why Piprell is no

longer employed by the board, saying the matter is “strictly confidential between the library and Ms. Piprell.” “I can’t comment at this time,”he said. Dan McDonald, communications manager for the city of Coquitlam, also declined to comment on the personnel matter. Reached yesterday at

her home, Piprell would not give specifics about her sudden exit, which is believed to have happened May 9. Trumley said CPL assistant director Silvana Harwood is now the interim director of the library, which has two branches: one on Poirier Street, the other in City Centre that opened last

fall on Pinetree Way. Piprell was appointed deputy director of the Coquitlam Library in September 2003 and, a few years later, replaced director Karen Harrison. Previously, she was the library manager of the Mission branch of the Fraser Valley Regional Library. Piprell completed her master’s degree in

economics in management of library and information services from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth in June 2004. During her term in Coquitlam, Piprell was on the BC Library Association board of directors and took part in a number of community organizations, winning accolades for her work.

There are only two weeks left in the blueberry pollination season and according to experts, there aren’t enough bees to go around. “It’s the same from Tsawwassen to Chilliwack and everywhere,”says John Gibeau, president the Honeybee Centre in Surrey. “We’re 4,000 colonies shy.” Gibeau estimates that bee shortage will amount to a $6-million deficit in fruit production this year due because the flowers just aren’t being pollinated. “I’ve been using every single bee we can find,” said Gibeau.“Any one colony by itself in the field, we took it and gave it to a blueberry grower.” Gibeau attributes this year’s shortage to three reasons. First, current customers are ordering more bees than expected while new growers are entering the market for the first time. Second, although Gibeau said they might have been prepared for that demand, the unseasonably warm weather has had growers asking for bees, which

BEE FACTS

• Bees support 30% of the world’s food crops and 90% of wild plants. • A honey bee colony can have up to 60,000 bees. • A queen honey bee lives three to four years and lays 1,500 eggs a day. • Honey bees cluster around to queen to keep the hive at a temperature of 34 C. • A worker bee may visit 2,000 flowers each day, surviving three weeks at this pace. • Bees generated 1.8 million lb. of honey worth $6.8 million for the B.C. economy in 2011. • B.C. is home to 2,000 beekeepers, with 38,000 colonies of honey bees. • In 2011, 57% of B.C.’s honeybee colonies were located in the Lower Mainland.

are notoriously productive in warm weather. Finally, three large Alberta-based beekeepers that usually supply the Lower Mainland did not come this year nor give notice to growers. “So the growers are out thousands of colonies and it’s been a scramble for those growers that had committed to these beekeepers to fulfill their orders,”he said. That has left Gibeau and other Lower Mainland beekeepers struggling to meet demand. “There are not enough bees in the province of

British Columbia to satisfy the blueberry grower demand,” he said, adding that means importing hives from out of province. Kevin Husband of Emma Lea Farms on Westham Island has been using commercial bee hives since he started growing blueberries a decade ago. He booked 250 hives a year in advance to pollinate his 20 hectares (50 acres) of blueberries. With 20,000 bees to each hive, there could be more than five million bees in his fields. see HIVE, page 19

Hive rental costs skyrocket continued from page 18

“It is a challenge to get bees, especially for someone else that’s just starting up and just starting to realize how important it is,” says Husband, adding growers will usually use between two to four hives per acre. “To get a top-quality crop you need many visits by a bee to a blossom, and that gives a bigger, more fertile berry.”

Because of the shortage of both wild and commercial bees, the cost of renting hives has gone up considerably. Where it may have cost $50 to $60 a hive a decade ago, a hive can run $90 to $120 today. Caroline Bremner of Birchwood Blueberry Farm in North Delta has been growing blueberries since 1985 and gets her bees from a reliable beekeeper in Fort St. John.

She is using between 150 and 200 hives for her 28-hectare (70-acre) crop and says she has no supply issues. “People always talk about it,” says Bremner. “It’s amazing, people say, oh you can’t get bees anymore. I’ve never had a problem.” But Bremner says she hasn’t seen the wild bees this year as she had in years previous. “I’ve got a big garden

at the front and a number of very large rhododendrons,” she says. “Well, when they’re in bloom they’re usually buzzing with the wild bees. This year I’ve seen just one.” The shortage of bees is referred to by experts as a “colony collapse disorder” which has been happening throughout the world in commercial and wild colonies alike. Hobbyist beekeepers

have been saying they just aren’t seeing the wild swarms of previous years. The annual mortality rates in beekeeping have escalated over the past decade from a high of 35% in 2008 to about 25% today. For beekeepers, that’s a tremendous loss of “livestock” over a one year period. But with a good queen, a beekeeper can replace his losses relatively quickly.

Before you make any decisions, ensure that you understand your rights and obligations. Divorce, mediation, property division, maintenance, custody y and access.

History speaks at Mackin House Museum

oquitlam senior Jim Wainwright, 80 years young, still proudly displays the little log cabin he crafted at age 12. It was more than just a child’s pastime — it served as a model for a full-scale log cabin he built with his own hands from scratch. Jim’s story is on one of 40 DVDs in the Coquitlam Oral History Project collection, an expression of living history that links Coquitlam’s past to its present. The project was funded by the Canadian government’s New Horizons for

Seniors Project and is in the care of the Coquitlam Heritage Society.The DVDs are mainly the product of generous efforts, over the past 12 months, by Coquitlam seniors and their volunteer interviewers of all ages. The public will be surprised to see and hear in this collection so many different walks of life: workers, housewives, teachers, managers, entrepreneurs, Riverview preservation advocates, refugees from the prairie dustbowls of the 1930s and veterans of two wars. We also have a Coquitlam author of children’s books, a former bookstore owner, an international opera

YOUR HISTORY Doug Rolling

and Helen recalls her days in a multiracial schoolhouse where differences were just part of the kaleidoscope of an at times idyllic childhood. But the collection does not idealize the past. For example, today’s sedate and handsomely treed Oakdale neighbourhood was once a place where the wood stove got stoked at 4 a.m. to keep the family from freezing and where slogging down rutted dirt roads was the only way out to work and school. Maillardville is also featured, through interviews conducted entirely en francais, thus giving voice to the texture of life in what is perhaps Canada’s oldest and

largest continuously inhabited francophone community west of the Red River. Plans are in the works to make the collection available in schools and libraries and at municipal events leading up to Coquitlam’s 125th birthday in 2016.The collection is available for viewing at Mackin House Museum during regular hours. Drop in or call 604-516-6151 for further information. Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history. Doug Rolling co-ordinated the Coquitlam Heritage Society’s oral history program.

Donate your Lego? What’s gives kids endless fun (and adults endless pain when they step on the pieces)? Lego, and Coquitlam Public Library is looking to build the ultimate Lego collection. CPL’s children’s department is looking for Lego pieces of all shapes and sizes for the library’s Lego Club. Lego donations are accepted at both branches: Poirier and City Centre. Why Lego at the library? Building with Lego requires organization, planning, concentration and patience, according to a CPL release, while encouraging children to use critical thinking and creativity — it also improves fine motor skills. Creative play helps children become better readers and they build valuable literacy skills as they build towers, trucks, dragons, pirate ships, castles and more. For more information on Coquitlam Public Library’s Lego Club and donations of Lego pieces, visit www.library.coquitlam.bc.ca or call Barbara Weston at 604-554-7334.

A toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200,000 litres of water in a single year.

The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week.

T__ F__

Answers: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.

Standing up for B.C.’s wild salmon green scene Elaine Golds

see: www.salmonconfidential.ca

Salmon under attack in B.C.

couple of weekends ago, one of my heroes came to town. Alexandra ‘Alex’ Morton, a biologist who, for more than two decades, has been ringing alarm bells about impacts of the farmed salmon industry on wild salmon, spoke to a crowd of people when the film Salmon Confidential was shown in Port Moody. Salmon Confidential provides an update on Alex’s most recent efforts to identify a number of viruses that appear to be having impacts on wild salmon. I should say at the outset that I am also an opponent of salmon farms along our coast. These farms raise huge quantities of Atlantic salmon, which are often sold as “fresh salmon”in some grocery stores. These farms appear to be little more than salmon feedlots that contaminate the sea floor wherever they are located with feces and

toring station in Echo Bay in the Broughton Archipelago between the mainland and Vancouver Island. Shortly after, the government announced plans to introduce fish farms to the area. Things got off to a bad start. Although local fishers identified which areas were especially important to them for fishing, it was these exact locations that were allowed by government to be used as sites for fish farms. In 1989, when a large run of chum salmon returned to the nearby Viner River, most of these chum mysteriously died before they spawned. As Alex writes in her chapter of A Stain upon the Sea, it was only years later that she learned salmon farms in the area had big problems that same year with a bacterial kidney disease and tests undertaken at that time showed that 100% of chum salmon infected with the bacteria died. Oddly, DFO (the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans) failed to investigate; what killed the chum remains a mystery.

By 1993, another bacterial disease, furunculosis, was affecting salmon farms in the area. Salmon farms in Scotland and Norway were already suffering significant mortalities from this disease. Despite this, DFO allowed eggs to be imported from Scotland to B.C. Once the disease was identified here, DFO allowed the salmon farmers to treat it with erythromycin, an antibiotic normally banned for use on fish eaten by people. The next spring, the Kingcome Inlet chinook underwent a serious decline in their population, which resulted in the closing of three fishing lodges. Despite many letters from Alex, DFO refused to undertake any testing that could have shown a linkage between the strain of furunculosis on nearby fish farm and the sick chinook. It was becoming obvious to Alex that DFO was failing to take the necessary precautions to protect wild B.C. salmon. Her experience of the past two decades has

Come to our

shown, over and over, that decisions taken at the upper levels of DFO are compromised by a management that strongly supports fish farms, pays a callous disregard for wild salmon and has muzzled its own scientists, including Kristi Miller. Meanwhile, the number of diseases that appear to have been introduced to this coast through salmon farms is continually increasing. For more than two decades, Alex Morton has been an exemplary citizen scientist collecting data about diseased fish that surely should be the responsibility of DFO. She has been thwarted in her efforts by the secrecy of the fish farmers, who refuse to make the public the diseases their salmon are introducing into coastal waters, and by threats and roadblocks thrown up by DFO. Salmon Confidential is available online at www. salmonconfidential.ca. All those who care about our coast should view it.

These fish must be fed a chemical dye to turn their gray flesh a healthy-looking pink. Because salmon are carnivorous fish, they require up to 8 kg of fish meal (derived from wild fish caught elsewhere) to create 1 kg of edible salmon. To my mind, nothing about farming salmon makes any environmental sense. Wherever the salmon

farming industry has established itself around the world, deleterious impacts on wild fish have followed. Surely, if there is any place in the world where we should be cautious about introducing fish farms, it should be our Pacific coast with its several species of wild salmon, which are truly keystone species in our west coast ecology. Studies estimate that at least 137 other species depend on abundant runs of wild salmon to

survive. These include resident orcas, seals, sea lions, coastal wolves, bears, eagles and of course, people. Research has shown that even our coastal forests are fertilized by the decaying bodies of wild salmon. But back to Alex Morton… When Alex came to B.C. in 1984, she had no idea of the direction her life would take. She and her late husband had come to study orcas, setting set up a moni-

Living Library set for May 24 Coquitlam Public Library is on the hunt for interesting people with stories to share. In partnership with Douglas College, Living Books is part of Coquitlam Public Library’s Living Library program and provides patrons with one-on-one conversations with experts in a variety of subjects who are willing to share their knowledge and their stories. Often occupational, racial, religious or lifestyle labels are discussed and explored, including dealing with deep and controversial issues such as bullying, suicide and serious crime. Designed largely to battle prejudice, the Living Library program through “books” who agree to be loaned out, invites all walks of life to join and encourages them to probe to beneath the surface to talk about real issues, rather than dwelling on stereotypes. CPL patrons register to speak to Living Books of their choice and engage in one-onone conversations with them for 20-minute sessions. The next Living Library Program at the new City Centre library branch is scheduled for Saturday, May 25. Those who would like to volunteer as Living Books are invited to call Rehman at 604-9374140, Local 234.

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Riders cycle in cash for the hospital foundation, a McHappy Day

PHOTOS SUBMITTED

ROBERT SHAER

Several kids sported cycling get-up this month for Wheel to Heal, which rode in $160,000 for the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation in Port Moody — about 70% more than last year. A total of 427 participants, ranging in age from two to 81, joined the May 4 fundraiser.

Coquitlam RCMP’s youth detail was among the recipients to gather a R.E.A.C.H. award this month. The Mounties — aka Cpl. Patrick Mehain and constables Malek Hamadene, Annelisse Lovell, Michelle Luca, Erin McAvoy and Joshua Rogers — took the Recognizing Efforts and Achievements Across Community and Home team prize for their mentorship work.

AND THE WINNER IS...

A number of people and groups have been named as nominees of the fourth

annual Tri-Cities’ Champions ofYoung Children Awards. Sponsored by the TriCities’ Early Childhood Development Committee, the awards recognize individuals, organizations, businesses, community leaders and people working with special needs kids. Those announced as finalists include Coquitlam Centre, The Clever Cupcakes, Carol Lindsay, Barbara Dowswell, Simon Fraser Society for Community Living Sibling Program, Deborah Duncan, Jaelim Jeon, Val Lavalli and the Port Coquitlam Daycare Society. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Water recreation is a popular pastime. When the weather warms, people often take to coastal areas to enjoy some fun in the sun and surf. What to wear for a day on the water depends on the type of activity one is partaking in, but there are some essentials you do not want to forget to bring along. * Sturdy shoes: Whether you will be standing on the deck of a sailboat or baiting a hook alongside a river, footwear should be sturdy. Water makes for slippery conditions, and shoes that provide traction blend form and function. Although flip-flop sandals have become the goto footwear, these shoes do not provide the arch support or traction necessary in wet conditions. A water shoe that has a sturdy sole as well as a breathable upper material is a better bet. * Sun protection: Surfaces such as water, sand, grass, or snow can reflect much of the UV radiation that reaches them. A day on the water or nearby reflective surfaces necessitates wearing sun protection products, such as broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. A wide-brimmed hat and sun-

glasses rated for 100 percent UV protection are good ideas. UV rays are most intense at noon, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. It’s also important to note the higher the elevation, the greater the UV exposure concentration because there is less atmosphere to absorb the UV rays. * Layers: The weather can be unpredictable, and the temperature inland may differ from the temperature at the shore by several degrees. When boating or visiting the coast, wear layered clothing so you can shed layers as needed to remain comfortable. * Change of clothing: Wet clothing can become uncomfortable to wear, and it may become dangerous if the temperature drops. Wet clothing can extract heat from the body much faster than dry clothing, potentially causing hypothermia, or a drop in body temperature. Couple wet clothing with windy conditions, and hypothermia can quickly set in. Always bring along a change of clothing and store it in a waterproof bag or container. This should include extra socks and shoes. * Life jacket: Whenever you are on or near the water, a life jacket should be made available for everyone on a vessel. Dress the part when spending a day on the water. Having the right equipment can reduce your risk for injury.

Summer Camps 2013

There is no such thing as “there’s nothing to do” The best solution for constant complaining from your children this summer is to keep them busy. Here are a few suggestions for some enjoyable summer outings that they won’t soon forget. Get them moving! There’s nothing better than a day of climbing up and down, sliding, and running around for working off excess energy. • Forest adventure course: enjoy some fresh air and play games in the treetops. This challenging experience will be both unique and stimulating. • Water park: a perfect summer outing. Water parks are good for hours of pleasure for the entire family. • Climbing: many centres offer introductory indoor climbing courses for children. Experienced professionals are there to supervise, so parents don’t need to worry about their kids’ safety. Give them some excitement! Kids love activities that give them an adrenaline rush. • Amusement parks: a classic summer activity. A day trying out all the rides is great fun for children of all ages. • Go-karting: many centres welcome families on exciting circuits that are sometimes open in the evening. This is a great activity for thrill seekers. Discover the kingdom of animals! Nature and animals are sure to fascinate any child. • Zoo: the discovery and observation of exotic animals is like going on safari with your children. Many zoos

offer educational and interactive activities that will appeal to all ages. • Riding centre: even little kids can discover the pleasures of horse riding. A safe excursion with an experienced guide could be the start of a lifelong passion. Don’t forget about throwing some relaxation into the mix: an outing to the movies, the drive-in, a museum, or a round of mini-golf are great for low-energy days. Even the most active of children need a bit of rest!

River District opens weekly farmers market

Spring brings visitors to outdoor market Southeast Vancouver is welcoming summer with the weekly farm market at River District, ParkLane Homes’ waterfront community that covers 130 acres and includes homes, shops, green space, restaurants and community amenities. The first market took place on May 4, and saw more than 500 people come out to wander the market and purchase some goodies. “The incredible turnout is a testament to the diversity and quality of this year’s farm and artisan vendors,” says Yosh Kashara, General Manager of Sales and Marketing at ParkLane Homes. “We couldn’t be happier with the support

from the community.” Market visitor and local resident Jonathan Murkin was excited to see the market open this year. “We’ve been waiting for the market to open,” he says. “It’s a great addition to the neighbourhood.” Among the items being sold at the market are fruits and vegetables, breads, flowers, skin care and jewellery. The farm market will take place every Saturday between May 4 and October 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kerr Street Plaza. For a full list of vendors participating at the market and for more information, visit www.riverdistrict.ca

Sunny Birch Bay

Finding old-fashioned flavour at Shorewood Cottages By Kerry Vital

Everyone has fond memories of their childhood summer vacations, spending time with family and friends and playing outside for hours. Now you can make more memories with Shorewood Cottages, just minutes from the Canada-U.S. border in Birch Bay. “You get the best of both worlds,” says Chris Hughes, a local RE/ MAX broker who grew up in West Vancouver, and a partner in Compass Point Project Marketing. “It’s relaxed and quiet when you get here, but you can be at the beach in two minutes.” Shorewood is located on a sunny plateau with over eleven acres total and seven acres of private parkland and trails, so outdoor activity will be a large part of your life. There will also be picnic areas, a bocce ball court, a community herb garden, an ocean lookout with a fire pit (called Sunset Point) and a clubhouse with an outdoor pool and hot tub. The picturesque setting includes a stream behind many of the cottages and ocean views from the front of the property. Hughes notes that the property is very dog-friendly, for those who could never leave man’s (or woman’s) best friend behind. The cottages themselves are homes

away from home, with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a cozy fireplace and hardwood flooring. Outside, you’ll find West Coast Craftsmen architecture and a private patio. There are a variety of two- and three-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from 1,082 to over 1,500 square feet. The cottages “are high-end from a finishing perspective, but exceptional value,” Hughes says. “These are real residences you can stay in all year round.” The location is the biggest draw for buyers. The famous C Shop, which sells candy, pizza, baked goods and other treats, is a minute away, along with miles of Birch Bay beachfront, restaurants and cafes, and plenty of outdoor activities. You’ll also find Birch Bay State Park and boat launch, water

slides, go-carts, mini-golf and several golf courses nearby. “There are a ton of things to do,” Hughes says. “Most weekends you’ll find something going on.” Among those things are arts and music festivals, fireworks, the Birch Bay Marathon, parades, sandcastle contests, car shows and many other events. Plus crabbing, clamming and fishing are lots of fun for the family and great for dinner! “We’re just 12 minutes from the border,” says Hughes. “You can come down with the family for the entire summer or just for the day.” He also notes that if you’re not able to come down to the cottage yourself, you can rent it out to other families

looking for a beach getaway. The developers of the property include two Canadian families, and most of the buyers so far are from the Lower Mainland. “You can’t touch this price anywhere in the Lower Mainland,” Hughes says. “It’s much more affordable to buy in the U.S. Plus, there’s a minimal amount of legal fees (and) no property purchase tax.” Cottages at Shorewood start in the low $200,000s. For more information, visit www.shorewoodcottages.com, email info@shorewoodcottages.com or call 1-888-255-8121. The show cottages are open Wednesday through Sunday between noon and 4 p.m. or anytime by appointment.

“

These are real residences you can stay in all year round,” says Chris Hughes of Compass Point Project Marketing.

Submitted photos

The cottages at Shorewood are built in a West Coast Craftsmen style, above, with plenty of natural light, cozy stone fireplaces, left, and a variety of two- and three-bedroom floorplans. The beach is just two minutes away, top, so outdoor activity will be an integral part of your life.

You say tomato... iN THe GARDeN Brian Minter

ach new gardening season brings with it a myriad of new plants. These new guys are sometimes the result of cross breeding, hybridization or the discovery of new varieties from around our ever more accessible world markets. It is also interesting to see the reintroduction of older varieties, ones that had dropped out of use but are now suddenly making a comeback as heritage plants. Many new varieties gain popularity quickly, stay on the market for a number of years, then sputter out and are seldom heard from again. I often think we have just too many varieties on the market. Have you looked at the number of tomato varieties in seed catalogues lately? Stokes Seed catalogue lists more than 81 varieties this year. Who in the world is going to plant 81 varieties of tomatoes? It must be a nightmare for seed companies attempting to guess how much of each variety will be needed every year, let alone for the poor novice gardener who would be confused with a choice of six varieties.To add to the confusion, each year a whole bunch of new introductions come out. Certainly there are regional climactic differences that affect the type of plants which thrive in a specific area. Here in the southwest of B.C., we must consider our climate and select varieties accordingly. Superb tomatoes can be grown in our home gardens if the plants have the following characteristics. First, they must ripen early.Tomatoes that develop in September often fall victim to blight.

Tomatoes must also be resistant to the many diseases, like verticillium and fusarium wilt, that prevail in our wet soils. It is also a good idea to have staking varieties to make sure they are up off the ground where slugs abound. Let’s start by selecting the best of the smaller tomatoes for our area and work our way up to the larger varieties.‘Tiny Tim’ has been the old standby cherry tomato. It matures in 45 days from transplanting and produces an abundance of fruit on a compact plant. From the many new varieties of cherry types, it’s hard to make a call but you may want to try ‘Sugar Snack’ or ‘Sun Sugar’. If you are looking for lots of sweet cherry tomatoes, then look no further than ‘Sweet Million’ and ‘Sweet 100’. They are the most prolific of all tomatoes.They are also reputed to be the sweetest tomato and their fruit contains very high concentrations of vitamin C. Also new varieties, like ‘Sweet ‘n Neat’ are ideal for containers. The new trailing tomato, ‘Tumbler’, has become the trademark of basket and container varieties. It is easy to grow and produces lots of 1¼ inch bright red, very sweet round fruit so early that even novices will have success. It is the best I’ve seen for ease of production even in ground beds, with nice growth habit and good flavour.‘Tumbling Tom’ is a great alternative and you might want to give ‘Tumbling TomYellow’ a try. The new ‘Ramblers’ even come with stripes. The hot trend today is the ‘grape tomato’ that has been available all winter from Mexico and California. On this type, each cluster ripens all at once like a grape.‘Juliet’ has become the standard bearer.These indeterminate plants can provide up to 350 grape-like fruits and they are quite tolerant to late blight.Try ‘Sugary’ for a

sweet tooth sensation. For mid-sized tomatoes, my top picks are ‘Early Girl’ and ‘Ultra Girl’. All mature in 62 to 80 days, producing delicious seven to nine ounce (227 grams) fruit. Many gardeners claim these are the only varieties to grow.‘Fantastic Hybrid’ is another favourite of many gardeners. Its fruit weighs six to seven ounces (185 grams) and is produced in great abundance in about 70 days.‘Super Fantastic’ matures in about the same time and its fruit is a little larger. Well now, it’s time to get down to the really BIG tomatoes. If anybody is still planting ‘Beefsteak’, may I suggest that you pray for a hot summer or move to the Okanagan.The characteristics of ‘Beefsteak’ can be found in many other tomato varieties.‘Oregon Spring’ is the first big ‘early guy’ in 75 to 80 days. It’s a large slicing variety that has a good, meaty Beefsteak-type flesh and should ripen by mid-July. Of all the ‘Boy’ tomatoes, ‘Better Boy’ is the true hybrid Beefsteak-type. Its fruit averages around one pound and it matures in 72 days. It has good flavour and is one of the most popular tomato varieties.‘Big Beef’ and ‘Beef Master’ are both Italian Beefsteak-types that have that old fashioned Beefsteak taste and huge 20 ounce sized fruits. Both have good disease tolerance and have won awards. The newest thing in tomatoes this year are ‘grafted’ tomatoes grown on a vigorous rootstock.These tomatoes have a far greater production and disease resistance, especially for heirloom varieties. Tomatoes are heat lovers, so now that the weather has warmed up and stays warm at night, you can plant out your tomatoes. As a general rule, from the May long weekend through June is usually the ideal planting time.

Jr. ravens headed to Fraser Valley finals

Gary ahuja/black press

Port Coquitlam Saints player Leigh Kinakin defends the Langley Jr. Thunder’s Brendan Mykle-Winkler during a B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League game last week. The Saints won the game 11-9.

Saints, Adanacs seasons heating up The Tri-CiTy News

Cinco de Mayo h a u n t e d t h e Po r t Coquitlam Saints lacrosse club this week as their side of the scoreboard stayed frozen at five goals. On Saturday evening, the Saints drew first blood while visiting the Delta Islanders at Sungod Arena. Saints’ runner Connor Goodwin

opened the scoring, assisted by Lyndon Knuttila and Trevor Wiseman. A check from behind in the closing minutes of the first period cost Saints’ runner Bryce Labelle four minutes in the penalty box. The Islanders capitalized on the man advantage and got on the scoreboard with 50 seconds left in the period. In the next frame,

Goodwin netted his second goal of the evening, while Knuttila also scored for the Saints. Both teams were tied at four going into the last period. The Islanders relentlessly dominated the Saints in their end during the final frame. Delta’s Eli McLaughlin picked up three goals in 10 minutes, for a game total of four. Saints’ runner Leigh

Kinakin started and ended the period in the penalty box for high sticking and roughing, respectively. In the 9-5 loss, Saints’ netminder Garrett Spann recorded 28 saves. Then, on Tuesday, the team travelled to New Westminster to take on the Salmonbellies, who annihilated the Saints in the opening period in which seven different Salmonbellies’ players

Down by 10 going into the final period, emotions were running high on the Saints’ bench. Less than a minute in, Quinn Stuart received a 10-minute misconduct and an additional

The Terry Fox secondary junior boys’ rugby team doesn’t know how to lose, said their coach Jorge Knizek. The undefeated Ravens have “played their way through the Tier II ranks, and have now started knocking off Tier I schools,”he said. On Wednesday, the junior boys’ program played in the Fraser Valley semi-finals against the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers from Cloverdale. According to Knizek, two things were extremely gratifying in Wednesday’s game: “Their lines of support improved, their ability to move the ball from the tackle gets better and the backs are showing much greater potential as they move the ball sooner and more effectively.” Fox took a commanding 14-0 half time lead on the strength of two tries from Pedro Vasquez and Taylor Poitras. That was followed up by Isaiah Stevens’ goal three minutes into the second frame. The Ravens had a 26-0 lead before Lord Tweedsmuir finally got on the scoreboard with two goals of their own late in the game. The 33-12 decision in favour of Fox gives the Ravens a 10-0 record and a return to the Fraser Valley junior rugby finals for the second time in six years. “Although many players played well, playing probably his best game of the season thus far, scrum half Scott Barker showed how invaluable he is to this squad,”said Knizek. Terry Fox will meet the winner of the Earl Marriott and Yale semifinal game in the finals on May 22 at South Surrey Athletic Park.
