Mexican visitor has a story to tell about the helpful Mountie By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A p l a s t i c s u rgeon who was visiting Canada to see his
grandson for the first time will return to his native Mexico recovering from a broken nose, a busted hip and a story about generosity thanks to that most Canadian of icons: a Mountie. Jose Mena, 59, of Morelia, Mexico, was only expected to be in Canada for a week
when he was in a car accident on Lougheed Highway, near Colony Farm, on May 14. His 28-year-old daughter, Karla, was driving home to Coquitlam from Vancouver at around 11:30 p.m. with her dad and three-month-old son, Diego, in the back seat.
When her Chevrolet Equinox van suddenly went off the road and into a ditch, Jose Mena tried to shield his grandson from the impact but was injured. “I don’t really remember what happened before that,” Karla Mena told The Tri-City News yesterday, “but when

A planned public school teachers walkout next Wednesday will cancel school field trips, extra-curricular activities and facility rentals, and close StrongStart centres for pre-schoolers in School District 43. And with negotiations between the province’s teachers and the government becoming increasingly volatile, parents are encouraged to stay informed and watch for updates on the district’s website (www.sd43. bc.ca) and www.tricitynews.com. On Wednesday, a letter was sent home with students advising parents to keep their students at home the day of the walkout. But with many
TO VICTORIA
A group called Parents for BC plans to visitVictoria next week to air parents’ concerns and bring issues about education funding to legislators. It has started a website (parentsforbc.com) where parents can post their concerns and organizer Lisa Cable hopes people will take the time to do so before May 28, when the group plans to present the collected messages to the legislature. see PARENTS, page 4

A partial lockout may disrupt grads & exams By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
School districts are formalizing their plans to deal with teachers’ rotating strikes beginning Monday and a BC Public School Employers’ Association stop-work order that takes effect 45 minutes before and after school hours and during lunch and recess breaks. The BC Teachers’ Federation says clubs, drama programs, sports and help for students
could be affected by the government’s effort to pressure the union and one event has already been postponed because of uncertainties next week. A storytelling event at Riverside secondary has been postponed, according to an email to The TriCity News. The partial lockout, effective Monday, mirrors the BCTF’s first stage of strike action. see BCTF, page 4

Good neighbours want ‘good neighbour bylaw’ They want rules on large homes in established areas By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Does Port Moody need stronger policies to guide redevelopment in older neighbourhoods where mega-houses can dwarf small bungalows and destroy views? The answer to that question is Yes, says a group of longtime PoMo residents, who are asking the city to establish a “good neighbour bylaw” to guide future development while protecting the assets and values of
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Longtime Port Moody residents (from left) Michelle McKill, Josephine Kovacs and Tara McIntosh want the city to implement a “good neighbour bylaw” that would regulate construction of large homes in established neighbourhoods, especially those that might restrict views and affect others. older properties. “What’s important is we feel our values are
slipping away,” says Tara McIntosh, a Jacobs Road resident for 14 years.
McIntosh and her neighbours know one another well, they support each other’s kids, help one another out in emergencies and meet for barbecues and volunteer for sports groups and other causes. But they fear that kind of small-town co-operation is disappearing with Port Moody’s rapid growth, which is seeing older homes along Ioco Road knocked down for larger structures that take up an entire lot and block the views and decks of their neighbours. Similar concerns have been raised in other areas of the Tri-Cities where older homes are replaced by newer,
much larger ones. What’s missing from these developments, say McIntosh and neighbours Josephine Kovacs and Michelle McKill, is consideration for others. “We want to retain the qualities of the neighbourhood the way it was when we moved in,” said Kovacs, a 13-year resident. What spurred their concern was the construction of a large home that blocked the inlet view of a long-standing neighbour. McIntosh said he eventually got rid of his balcony because it faced the newer home’s laundry vent, which blew hot steam into his sitting area; as well, the new
construction affected his property value as well as his peace of mind. “What we want is thoughtful development and the change of current bylaws in our community that protects homeowners and their investment but also builds houses that blend in better with the existing neighbourhood,” said McIntosh, who said similar bylaws exist in other cities. The bylaw could, for example, protect views of primary living spaces, include design standards and allow new construction in older neighbourhoods after a thorough discussion with property owners, developers and
neighbours. A Facebook page was established (The Good Neighbour By-Law Port Moody, B.C.) after an initial meeting of over a dozen residents living in the area, and the group plans to present its case at PoMo council on Tuesday, setting the stage for a campaign leading up to the civic election in November. “We just want to get the conversation started,” said McIntosh, who argues that the issue is not a problem of “affluent” people trying to protect their space but the promotion of an attitude of co-operation and neighbourliness. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
COQUITLAM HERITAGE: An elementary school in its third incarnation has spanned city history
Glen celebrates its 100th & looks back On Friday, May 30, Glen elementary school in Coquitlam will celebrate its 100th birthday with a special event. In preparation, Luciano Stella’s Grade 4 and 5 students have been studying how their school has changed over the years. From writing tablets to tablet computers and wireless communication, Glen has undergone a dramatic transition. At right are some of the changes Stella compiled...
Students in Siobhan Swayne’s Grade 4 class use laptop computers for math, science, language arts and social studies work in a One to One project that Swayne says has increased kids’ writing output. Students Julian Clarke, Tyanna Jaco, Valeria O’Brien and Selina Chen are doing research on a project. When the first Glen elementary (above) opened in 1913, students sat in rows and wrote on writing tablets — not tablet computers — with chalk or on paper with pens filled with ink from ink wells.
1913/1914
• The original Glen school was a one-room schoolhouse with 13 students aged six to 14 years, with a single teacher overseeing multiple grades. • It had a well pump and there was no electricity so kerosene gas lamps were used. • Outhouses stood out the back and, to keep warm, students and the teacher kept the wood furnace going; firewood was stored in the basement. • In wintertime, the kids would hang up their coats and mitts to dry by the furnace. • The Lord’s Prayer began the school day for students. • In the spring of 1914, Glen had an Arbor Day and pupils planted a row of trees along the front of the one-acre property. • The eldest pupils took turns raising and lowering the Canadian flag every school day. • Students studied geography, spelling, grammar, writing, mathematics, British history, Canadian history and nature. • The first teacher was Miss L.C. Howe and she earned $65 per month; she used a blackboard for her lessons. • Students used small chalkboards and writing tablets; quill pens and inkwells were used; handwriting was considered very important. • Students sat in wooden desks in rows. • Corporal punishment — the strap — was used and teachers were strict. • Students would walk on gravel roads to school on their own and had to look out for bears and deer. • At home the students had chores; students who lived on farms looked after the chickens, cows, pigs and other animals. • Students played traditional games during recess: tag, hop-scotch, hide and seek, marbles, skipping games, Red Rover. • Lunches or snacks were usually carried in tin containers or baskets, or wrapped in a piece of cloth. • Students ate snacks outside during recess: hard-boiled eggs, apples, cheese, homemade bread, cake or cookies, or jelly, jam or peanut butter sandwiches. • Students listened to records played on a gramophone, watched silent movies at theatres in New Westminster and learned how to tell time on analog clocks and had watches.
2013/2014
• The fifth Glen school is a French immersion school with 20 classrooms (12 English and eight French immersion) and 482 students from kindergarten to Grade 5. • Glen has a principal, vice-principal, secretary, 32 teachers and 17 support staff. • It also has three bathrooms each for girls and boys, a library, gym, multi-purpose room, computers, internet, elevator, photocopier, a radiant floor heating system, a security system and sprinkler system. • Some students walk to school on their own and many are either walked or driven to school. • Students usually sit in groups instead of in rows. • Classrooms are inclusive. • Students use pencils, mechanical pencils, ballpoint pens, gel pens, felt markers, fine liners and pencil crayons. • Ms. Swayne’s Grade 4 students are part of a One to One project and do their work on laptop computers. • Teachers use whiteboards, computers, projectors and Smart Boards, which are connected to the internet, in the classroom. • Every classroom has a phone and teachers use email to communicate with one another. • Students can use the internet for research and for completing assignments. • Students play tag, soccer, basketball or skipping games, or go on the adventure playground during recess. • Some students bring video games and cellphones to school. • School subjects include spelling, reading, writing, science, math, social studies, health and career planning, PE, music, art and French as a second language for the Grade 5 kids. • Students take part in the annual Terry Fox Run, Halloween activities, winter/christmas concert, dance festival, Kilometre Club, Music Monday, Spirit Days, hot food days, and sports day. • Grade 5 students can join the volleyball and basketball teams. • Students listen to music played on radios, iPods, CD Players, iPads and laptop computers. • Students watch educational videos and movies on televisions with DVD players, laptop computers and online.

Keep your kids home next Wednesday: SD43 continued from front page
SD43 superintendent Tom Grant said principals will be at school on the day local teachers will take their turn in the rotating strikes announced by the BC Teachers’ Federation this week. But if many students show up, it will be “very, very difficult,” Grant said. As well, with the situation changing daily — and any number of scenarios possible, from resolution to more job action — Grant said the district will do its best to keep parents informed and up to date. “We’re going to have to be able to communicate with our entire community and we’ll have to put a plan in place very quickly,”he said. As to what will happen if there are any strike savings, Grant wouldn’t speculate, saying that it’s not likely the cash-strapped district would see any of the money anyway. “I’m just in the dark on any savings that we might get,”Grant said. Meanwhile, teachers have promised not to impede parents from escorting their children across picket lines at daycares and preschools located in public schools but the district is encouraging parents to contact their providers to make sure the facility is open that day.
Time to explore educational options for your child?
Parents: Heading to B.C. capital continued from front
“We just want to give them a place to express their voice and opinion,”said Cable, who said details are still being finalized as to who parents will meet in the capital. The trip takes place the same day School District 43 teachers will be off the job, along with colleagues in several other school districts, as part of rotating strike action across the province to back contract demands. Cable said her group’s event was set several weeks ago, before the work stoppage was announced
by the BC Teachers’ Federation, but she expects frustration with education funding and teacher bargaining to be among the concerns listed by parents, and other groups, on the website. “What we want to do is to communicate to government that many people have concerns and something needs to be done,”said Cable, adding that the lobbying effort isn’t just for Tri-City families, although the group got its start in Port Moody. Anyone with concerns about the eduction system from anywhere in B.C. is
encouraged to go to the website and submit their information (names and email addresses will be kept private and are not part of the communication to Victoria, Cable stressed). “There are lots of parents feeling frustrated and don’t know what to do, and while we’re not giving them anything great, we’re at least giving them something,”she said. The group also has Facebook page (facebook.com/parents4bc) and received plenty of media attention when it held a rally May 2 in Port Moody.

Teachers: Rally at Leigh Square The topic of education continues to be front and centre in the Tri-Cities, with another rally planned for today (Friday) by School District 43 teachers. The rally is slated for 4 p.m. at Leigh Square in Port Coquitlam, with parade marshals gathering at 3:45 p.m. at Riverside secondary, Pitt River middle and Central elementary schools as well as the
PoCo rec complex. Marchers will then proceed to Leigh Square. According to the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, the rally is“intended to focus public attention on the effects of years of government underfunding of public education.” It was spurred, the CTA says, by the passage of a budget last month that required $13.4 million in cuts
and resulted in the layoff of more than 600 teachers and 200 support workers. Among those scheduled to attend are NDP official opposition education critic Rob Fleming, board of education chair Melissa Hyndes and BCTF president Jim Iker. The Essential Services Singers will be there to provide musical entertainment. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

BCTF says stop-work order will disrupt school activities continued from front page
That includes refusing student supervision outside classroom hours and communication with management. Rotating strikes begin next week, and the lockout is an attempt to bolster BCPSEA’s case for cutting salaries by 10% in response to the strike action. BCTF president Jim Iker told a news conference Thursday the stopwork order will disrupt after-hours activities, including graduation ceremonies, which the union had sought to protect with the early stages of strike action. “No more calls to parents, no more emails home, it all comes to an end because of the lockout,”Iker said. BCPSEA administrator Michael Marchbank notified the union of the lockout terms in a letter
Urban Academy Open House
IN QUOTES
JIM IKER, BCTF PRESIDENT
“The BCTF wants to restore class size and composition formulae that are enormously expensive — in the order of $2 billion annually by year four — despite the fact that educational outcomes have significantly improved since the formulae were removed.” Michael Marchbank, BCPSEA
delivered Wednesday. The letter also confirmed that if no agreement is reached, secondary school teachers will be locked out June 25 and 26, and all BCTF members will be locked out June 27, the last day of the school year for most schools. Iker said the year-end lockout may disrupt distribution of report cards and marking of provincial exams for high school students. BCPSEA says the
BCTF’s wage and benefit demands add up to 21.5% over four years. “This is almost four times the rate of increase in the current settlements of the other major public sector unions,” Marchbank’s letter states. “On top of this, the BCTF wants to restore class size and composition formulae that are enormously expensive — in the order of $2 billion annually by year four — despite the fact that educational outcomes have significantly
improved since the formulae were removed.” The union is appealing the pay cut to the Labour Relations Board. Iker said it’s unfair to cut the pay of teachers who are still on the job while other districts take part in one-day strikes. The union says rotating strikes could continue after next week if the B.C. government doesn’t put more money on the table. tfletcher@blackpress.ca – with file from Diane Strandberg

Mountie ‘amazing’ says mom Mena continued from front
Coquitlam RCMP Const. Raj Uppal, who was on general duty, said he saw Karla Mena beside the vehicle holding her baby, who had his grandfather’s blood on his sleeper. “It was pretty scary to see something like that,” said Uppal, a father of young kids. Later, at the hospital, Uppal asked staff to look for a replacement baby car seat as he knew the parents would likely need one to transport their son to the doctor’s office the next day for a check-up. He also instructed them to call him if no replacement seat was found. At around 3 a.m., Mena’s husband rang Uppal to inform him about the car seat situation: None could be located at RCH. Uppal radioed for help from other police officers and victim services workers but nobody had a car seat handy. Uppal then checked with two Coquitlam stores before stopping
CONST. RAJ UPPAL at the Real Canadian Superstore in the Westwood Mall. To gain attention from the employees who were working inside the closed grocery store, Uppal turned on his police car lights and identified himself. When Uppal explained the emergency, they led him to the aisle and helped him pick a car seat. Uppal promised he would return in the morning to pay as the tills had been shut down for the night. Within the hour, Uppal was at RCH to deliver the new car seat for Diego. Karla Mena said Uppal went beyond the
call of duty. “He was amazing from the very first moment when he saw the baby,”she said. “He walked into the hospital and said, ‘Here’s a gift from me to you guys.’ That was very, very meaningful for us because we were going through a tough time.” Best of all, when Uppal phoned Real Canadian Superstore that morning to praise the employees, the manager waived the $150 bill. “It’s all good,” she reportedly told Uppal, wh o a d d e d , “ Th e [Superstore] staff really went out on a limb to help us out.” As for Jose Mena, he went into surgery that morning and his trip has been extended until he gets the allclear from therapists, his daughter said. While emergency personnel were kind to her family that night, Karla said she’s especially grateful to Uppal and her dad who “risked his life to save my son’s.” jwarren@tricitynews.com
MMBC OK? A new province-wide recycling program that started Monday had a smooth shift in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, say officials from both cities. City spokespersons for PoCo and PoMo reported a “seamless transfer” to the Multi-Material BC system this week. PoCo staff have logged several inquiries since MMBC launched May 19, including concerns about plastic bags no longer being accepted in the blue cart (they can be returned to an MMBC depot or grocery stores). Still, some PoCo residents are pleased about the new items that can now be recycled, such as hot and cold drink cups, said Pardeep Purewal. In Port Moody, staff have fielded dozens of calls from residents about MMBC — most of whom are asking for additional information or clarification while the rest are expressing concern about having to take glass to Coquitlam depots, said Dave Teixeira. Port Coquitlam and Port Moody are handling the MMBC recycling themselves while Coquitlam is allowing the agency to manage the recycling collection contracts in its city. They begin July 2 to coincide with the city’s changeover to the new garbage/ green waste pick-up.

3 mayors to hit the road today on Town Haul trip

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The Tri-Cities’ three mayors were set to leave on their trip across Canada — in a motor home — after the Metro Vancouver board meeting today (Friday). Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart, Port Coquitlam’s Greg Moore and Port Moody’s Mike Clay will drive a Fraserway RV for Town Haul, a journey that will see them speak with two dozen mayors in B.C., the prairies and Ontario on their way to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ convention, which starts May 30 in Niagara Falls. Moore told The Tri-City News the trio is getting emails from mayors in other jurisdictions who also want them to stop for a visit. During the week, the three mayors plan to talk with elected officials about best municipal practices; they will also

A school effort at Castle Park for accessible play By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Students are learning to play in new ways at Port Coquitlam’s Castle Park elementary school with the third construction of an accessible playground. Officially opened Tuesday, the Play for All playground provides a rubberized surface instead of bark mulch for a soft landing and easy mobility, and ramps so children in wheelchairs can play with their peers. As well, the monkey bars, slides and other climbing equipment will keep children active for years to come. Teacher Farah HirjiChung, whose daughter is a student at the school and uses a wheelchair, said the project puts the PoCo school at the top of the class when it comes to providing play opportunities for children with disabilities. “All kids should be able to play together,” said Hirji-Chung, who said the project was developed in three phases and will cost $186,000 if another $30,000 can be raised to complete the project in about two years. Hirji-Chung commended the parents of the Castle Park PAC for

their vision to have a completely accessible playground and she appreciates the hard work and dedication of parents who helped get several large grants and sponsors for the project (those sponsors’ names are emblazoned on a sign near the equipment). On the day The Tri-City News visited, students were playing a memory game together, spinning blocks with images and guessing which ones matched; they were also swinging on a zipline and hanging from monkey bars. Hirji-Chung said previ-

ously, students in wheelchairs could only sit at the edge of the playground and watch or be lifted onto the bark mulch, where a chair could get stuck. Now, children can maneuver about with little difficulty and Hirji-Chung said it has made a difference in how the students interact with each other. As well, students with other challenges such as autism and visual impairment also enjoy the new equipment. She hopes other schools in the city will see the value and try to get similar playgrounds built. “We just need to do a
little bit more and hopefully it will bring awareness and encourage others to do the same,”she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

T
he game of chicken between the province and its teachers will likely culminate next Wednesday in a one-day walkout that will keep 30,000 students and 1,200 teachers in School District 43 out of the classroom unless a last-minute agreement can be reached. While many lament the toll this will take on students and families, and the hurt it does to faith and trust in the education system generally, the truth is this is the only way to resolve bargaining, especially when both sides are so entrenched. The stakes are so high that only the withdrawal of service can get the province’s attention; at the same time, the province has equal stakes in the outcome and can only offer financial incentives or threats to get its point across. Would it be nice if there was a better way to resolve differences? Absolutely. Usually at this stage, a mediator is appointed and the talks continue behind closed doors. Let the teachers and the government make their stand then, please, get back to bargaining in earnest. Let’s not see another month of uncertainty and discontent.

How do you tame the mighty Fraser River? AS I SEE IT Catherine Ouellet-Martin
Y
ou’ve likely noticed how the Fraser River is particularly high and muddy these days. Freshet is here. The springtime phenomenon that sees the Fraser swell from melted snow and ice well up-river has been in full swing for the last few weeks and will continue to the end of June or so. With one quarter of all the streams, creeks and rivers in B.C. draining into the Fraser, the water level and velocity of the Fraser increases dramatically during this time. In a previous article, I discussed how the powerful current carries with it millions of tonnes of sediment in a tumultuous journey from headwaters through the upper and middle Fraser regions and then through the Fraser Canyon. Until that point, the river’s course is defined and restricted.
But emerging from the canyon, the river is no longer constrained by the mountains and spreads out and slows down. As it does, it drops the sediment it has been carrying. Over thousands of years, this sediment has built up to form the estuary and landscape we are now familiar with, creating a vast flood plain. To keep above water in this region, society has chosen to create a sophisticated infrastructure to guide and restrict the river. Human settlement and agriculture in the Lower Fraser Region is possible thanks to approximately 600 km of diking that keeps the river within its banks. But with the construction of dikes, the sediment once deposited on the adjacent wetlands of the river is entrained and must be dealt with as it settles in new locations within the dikes. Left unattended, this accumulation would quickly build up in key shipping channels to the point where they would become much too shallow to allow for commercial vessels to safely access port terminals along the river.

IN QUOTES
“Emerging from the canyon, the river is no longer constrained by the mountains and spreads out and slows down. As it does, it drops the sediment it has been carrying.” Catherine Ouellet-Martin Also, these deposits could well drive the river to find new channels that would damage habitat and infrastructure along and behind the dikes. Year-round navigation on the river relies on a complex and extensive infrastructure of training walls and dredged channels, most of it inconspicuous, hidden or submerged. Training walls are carefully designed and placed to keep the Fraser River moving fast enough dur-
ing freshet to keep the sedimentation in the New Westminster harbour to a minimum. Next time you take a walk along the Quay boardwalk, take note. One can see a number of training walls from the New Westminster riverfront. This infrastructure plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the working river. An hydraulic modelling program conducted at UBC between 1948 and 1963 did much to determine the power and benefits of training the river and helped shape an early vision of a fully trained lower Fraser River requiring minimum dredging. But at the time, the $40 million or so required to implement a full program was considered too costly. Today, the cost of dredging the main shipping channel alone is approximately $20 million annually. Freshet will continue to bring silt in vast quantity year after year. That will never change. How we deal with it? That is for us to decide.

No glass makes no sense The Editor, Re. “Blue box shift may bring confusion “ (The Tri-City News, May 16). The new recycling regulations that ban glass are a disaster in the making. It is unrealistic to require consumers to take their glass jars and beverage containers to a private facility some distance away. The inefficiency of this scheme is more than clear: Recycling works only when it is easy and convenient for the consumer. Think of the wasted gas, inconvenience and inefficiency of driving back and forth to another depot. Think of the large condominium developments in which there is no recycling container for glass because there is no one to take it to the separate agency and there is no curbside recycler to collect it. Large condominiums often have more than 200 suites. Many of these suites are small. Where will condo owners put all

MOSSOM CREEK HATCHERY PROJECT
Thanks to News for keeping the Mossom hatchery story alive The Editor, Re. “$150k to first Mossom milestone” (The Tri-City News, May 21). It is said that few things age faster than an news story. Nobody wants old news. News, unlike wine doesn’t seem to improve with age, or maybe it does? Everywhere I go in the Tri-Cities, people acknowledge the fire at the Mossom Creek Hatchery in December. Almost in the same breath, they say the are happy to see the replacement and recovery are underway. The fire has taken on a life quite different from the usual news stories. The Tri-City News has found the positive, the upbeat and written news that inspires, instills hope and musters responses. I am writing thank you notes today to a variety of supporters of the hatchery rebuild. We owe a lot of the credit for keeping our story alive to The Tri-City News and its staff.

‘NaUSeOUS’
The Editor, I felt so nauseous after reading the federal Conservatives’ Conservation Plan that
I nearly regurgitated my breakfast. Fortunately, my nausea soon turned to temporary laughter with their attempt to make it sound even more incredible by offering a free fact sheet entitled “Conservative Leadership on the Environment.” Anyone who actually believes any of this propaganda really ought to give their heads a shake. Here is a government that has demolished our environmental assessment legislation and is on a roll for removing protection of any species or habitat that stands in the way of pipeline projects. We, as a country, are criticized and ridiculed worldwide for our dismal environmental and conservation performance and this is certainly not going to help improve our record. This stomach-churning plan is nothing more than a serious waste of tax dollars that should come with a mandated health warning before reading it. Jane Thomsing, Port Coquitlam

Anti-tax group misfires on trans. Early skirmish in transit tax referendum campaign By Jeff Nagel Black PrEss
Anti-tax activists aren’t waiting for an expected June release of proposed new fees or taxes to fund TransLink expansion. Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) B.C. director Jordan Bateman says polling on potential options suggests Metro Vancouver mayors will go to referendum on multiple new revenue sources that could cost the typical household hundreds of dollars more each year. He issued a news release estimating the combined increases at $595 per year. In a subsequent interview, however, Bateman backtracked from that estimate, which assumed all sources under discussion would be fully used. “We don’t expect them to come forward wanting all of those tools,” Bateman said, adding the aim was to make residents aware of the possible impact of each individual source when a proposed package is unveiled.
long bathroom wait The first of seven SkyTrain stations getting a major upgrade now has a new elevator but TransLink has no immediate plans to install public washrooms on its rapid transit lines — including the Evergreen Line. Officials with the transportation authority unveiled the upgraded Scott Road SkyTrain station in Surrey Wednesday with provincial and federal representatives. TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said Scott Road and other Expo Line stations being upgraded, as well as all new stations on the Evergreen Line, are being built with plumbing to allow public washrooms to be added — in the future. “It’s a matter of operating costs and safety,” Jarvis said.“My personal view is in that in the future, it is something we’re going to have to accommodate in terms of an aging population.” Coquitlam council has previously called for publicly accessible washrooms to be built at all Evergreen Line stations, including the four within its city limits. Jarvis said TransLink is trying to partner with retailers in some of its stations to provide and maintain public access to their washrooms. Expo Line upgrades worth $164 million are underway or planned at Main Street-Science World, Surrey Central, Commercial-Broadway, New Westminster, Joyce-Collingwood and Metrotown.
jnagel@blackpress.ca
An Angus Reid online poll that Bateman takes as evidence of what’s to come discusses a $75 per year vehicle levy, a new 0.5% carbon tax in Metro, a 0.5% regional sales tax for TransLink and road/bridge tolls of less than $1 per trip, as
well as further increases in property taxes and transit fares. TransLink, Metro Vancouver and the mayors’ council all say they weren’t behind the poll. Mayors have indicated they will propose just a couple of new sources,
not the entire menu, and they’ve consistently said road pricing is a longerterm idea that could not be on the ballot of a referendum expected by mid-2015. TransLink strategic planning vice-president Bob Paddon said the CTF’s estimate that the region’s average household already pays $1,060 annually to TransLink is way too high. The actual figure is about $605, according to Paddon, who said the CTF wrongly counted all property tax revenue as coming from residential homeowners when a big chunk of it — $145 million — comes from businesses. Paddon said taxes paid to TransLink make up less than 10% of total household spending on transportation, once the cost of vehicles and fuel are taken into account. “Contributing to TransLink not only benefits those who use transit but it eases the pressures of congestion and contributes to the livability of our region,”he said. Metro board chair Greg Moore said Bateman “should consider using his time more constructively and offer solutions to this region instead of cheap press releases that do nothing.” There’s strong support

Family Fun Daayy!,
among Metro mayors for the need to raise more money for transit, as well as road projects like replacing the Pattullo Bridge, in light of existing congestion and projections Metro’s population will grow by another million over then next 25 years. “If we want a livable region we need to invest in a world-class transit system,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart. “The alternative to properly funding transit is an enormous increase in property taxes to pay for bigger roads because no one wants congestion.”

wants to pay respects, even 70 years later, to Allan and sergeants John Sollie and William Clark, flying officers Robert Andrews and Paul Tokar, and pilot officer Charles Stephen. The society has written to Royal Canadian Legion branches, newspapers and other groups in the men’s listed hometowns of PoCo, Toronto, Montreal, Fenwick, Washgo and Bentley to look for family and friends. Johnson said the society wants to know the personal stories of the six men who died above their village and are now interred — side by side — at Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey, England. In November, the society plans to install a memorial plaque with their names, either in the vicinity of the village war memorial or on the roadside near the area where the planed crashed. “These boys were so young and so far from home,” Johnson said. “We should remember what they gave up for our freedom.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Grant, who moved to Penticton and Maple Ridge after almost four decades in PoCo, said his mother was invited by the PoCo Legion to place a wreath at the cenotaph on Remembrance Day; each time, she wore her silver cross on her lapel, the medal bestowed to mothers of fallen soldiers.

Grant MacKimmie’s big brother was always protective. Even when Allan MacKimmie was in harm’s way himself, as an airman stationed in England during the Second World War, he would write home to his mother, “Be good to Grant.” Now, Grant, who was a Port Coquitlam resident for 37 years, is hoping to return the sentiment to his deceased older sibling with the help of a British historical society. Four years Allan’s junior, Grant said he was “just getting to know him” when the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) came to their town of Beaver Lodge, Alta., looking for recruits. Allan got permission from their father to sign up but he was just shy of the required enlistment age of 17.6 years old. On July 19, 1943, Allan got his wish and was sent for basic training for a month in Edmonton. Another six months were spent near Montreal, where he learned to be an air gunner, and his high marks earned him the rank of sergeant. Less than a month afterward, he was on a two-week boat ride to England. There, he shot down explosive drones from the air above England and northern France. But on June 29, 1944 — 11 months after he joined the war effort — Allan and five other Canadians in his unit took off f r o m We l l e s b o r n e , Wa r w i c k s h i r e l o s t their lives during a n av i g a t i o n a l e x e rcise in the skies above the village of Roade, Northamptonshire. In an email to The TriCity News last week, Ron Johnson of the Roade Local History Society said it was a “gloomy, thundery, dark, foreboding late afternoon” when the Wellington bomber was struck by lightning, killing all six onboard. One society member recalls being a seven-year-old girl when she and her brother saw the plane disintegrate and heard an explosion. “Her father, who had experienced bombs falling in the London blitz, thought it was a buzz bomb and the family dived beneath the table,” Johnson wrote.“However, when it became apparent that the village was not under enemy attack, father and son ran over to the field to see what they could do to help.” War records show Allan MacKimmie died of “multiple fractures and lacerations.” News of his death came, via a CP telegraph on July 5, 1944, to Thomas and Gena MacKimmie, who by then were living in Edmonton.

Hockey stick-shaped dev’t goes to hearing Tuesday
Intermediate Care for Seniors
Moody city council:

The Tri-CiTy News
A potentially controversial subdivision project goes before Port Moody council at a public hearing Tuesday. Members of the public will be allowed to comment on a proposed seven-lot subdivision at 622 Foresthill Pl. in Pleasantside that would leave about 75% of the property, or about four acres, as forest. But the proposal to create seven single-family homes on the hockey stick-shaped piece of property would also reduce stream setbacks on Bentley and Wilkes Creek by 50% and cut standard lot widths on three of the properties. Habitat enhancement would also be required because vegetation would have to be removed from near the creeks for road construction, and the applicant is required to submit plans for the roads because they are steeper than those currently allowed. According to a report to council, the property is in an environmentally sensitive area of the north shore forest but

Grow pot in PoMo? Commercial pot growers would be allowed to grow and process marijuana for legal medical purposes in light industrial or general industrial areas in Port Moody if city council approves a staff recommendation. The recommendation follows the introduction of new federal rules regulating medical marijuana production and would limit commercial growers to certain areas in the northwest of the city, currently designated M1 and M3. According to a report that was reviewed at Port Moody’s council in committee meeting Tuesday, other cities have identified industrial zoning as the most appropriate for the production of medical marijuana. Under the new Marijuana Medical Access Regulations, which came into force April 1, Health Canada is accepting applications for commercial production licensing and will respect local government zoning when vetting them. the proposed land use conforms with the official community plan and

New fees and a plan to regulate pleasure craft mooring in Port Moody inlet will receive more public input before the city adopts a strategy aimed at preventing liveaboards, illegal sewage dumping and derelict vessels from mooring in the inlet. Under the proposal developed by Port Metro Vancouver and the city, and reviewed by council at a committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, the harbour authority would install buoys marking a designated anchorage area and the city would manage it and collect fees of $9.50 a night or $1,032 a year based on a 25-foot pleasure craft owned by a PoMo resident. Costs to manage the project would be about $10,000 a year, including insurance, but the city expects to collect about $12,000 in fees to recover those costs. Any surplus would be placed in reserve to offset future deficit, replace the cardinal buoys or be used for future harbour-improvement projects. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

What our patients say...
Laser may be the answer.
neck pain for 20 years “I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69) plantar Fasciitis “I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel. I have been going for 4 weeks now and am almost all the way healed. The treatments are painless.” J.M. (52) Knee pain “...after just 7 sessions, I feel much better. I can now walk and go up and down stairs without pain at the end of the day.” G.L. (48) Cold Sore “I hadn’t been aware of laser for such an application, but I was delighted to see visible improvement after one treatment, and after the second, it was gone!” C.M. (64)

Safety Tip: As high school seniors prepare for graduation, it’s important that parents make sure their teens are also planning for a side ride home after all of their festivities.

Drives-U-Crazy When drivers do not increase their speed enough when merging onto the highway. It makes it dangerous when they’re going 40 – 60 – 80 km/h and stay at 80 even when they have entered the highway. Its 100 km/h, people, come on! The traffic on the highway is going 100 or more... ughhh! What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Styling-wise, the Diavel has matured since its introduction in 2012. Though it is immediately recognizable, it has been tweaked. There’s now full LED illumination, a new headlamp cover and mounting and more. It’s strong road presence is a result of a commanding and bulbous body, matched with a 240 rear tire — a tire that was specifically made in conjunction with Pirelli for the Diavel. Though it might look like a handful, it’s not. And if a “handful” was measured in weight, you’re only looking at, or handling, 205 kg. Speaking of hands, its handling is quite superb. Taking on the twisty roads won’t leave you scraping pegs like other cruisers. And with 3 modes (sport, touring and urban) to channel the 162 hp (100 hp if you’re in urban mode) from Ducati’s new Testastretta 11° DS engine, it won’t take off on you without your consent. With crowds taking photos of this beast, and asking to take a photo with it, I couldn’t see any other vehicles generating such fervor. It generates even more zeal when on the open road. But for now, the temporary celebrity status that these bikes bring are a welcome change from the norm. And knowing that an item that costs at least ten times less than the vehicular ornamentation perfectly placed in Monte Carlo — the Diavel Carbon White model has an MSRP of $21,995) could be considered cheap thrills, right? I guess it’s all relative. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Monte Carlo, Monaco: Everywhere you look, wealth abounds. The parking spaces in front of the Hotel de Paris and Casino Monte Carlo are filled with vehicles worth no less than $200K. Or should I say 200,000 Euros? I’m feeling out of place. Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, Porsches, Bugattis — yes, plural — and other exotic vehicles seem to be a dime a dozen. Even the taxis are premium makes and models. The occasional “affordable” vehicle (like a 3 Series BMW or an Audi A5) manifests itself but they already know they won’t be getting the premiere parking spots. So how do you get noticed? The answer is simple: Ride the 2015 Ducati Diavel. The devilish Ducati, even with the stock exhaust – which is new for the 2015 model year — could easily conjure sinister thoughts. The low grumble and throaty belligerence characterizes the twin pipes that are both aggressive yet sublimely pleasing to the ears. A flock of Carbon Whitetrimmed Diavels set out to congregate in the main plaza of Monte Carlo for our press briefing. The Bologna-based brand’s revised sport cruiser is one that commands attention. Even if you don’t want to look, its black hole-like nature won’t let your gaze escape. Besides, you’ve already been hooked by its exhaust note and the mellifluous sound from its 1,198 cc engine, so it’s too late to even attempt to look away. Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away. Never mind the Ferrari California with pristine paint and glimmering rims. The Ducatis are stealing all the attention and for good reason.

A giant among minivans When Honda launched its fourth-generation Odyssey in 2011, it described the minivan as “the ultimate in family transportation.” Odyssey has become an industry benchmark for minivan interior versatility features, fuel economy and agile driving dynamics. While the market for new minivans has been shrinking in recent years, it’s still a sizeable in Canada. A used Odyssey is a sought-after premium product that will probably cost a little more but, historically, it retains its value exceptionally well. Compared to its predecessor, the 2011 Odyssey offered improved fuel economy due in part to a more aerodynamic shape that’s wider and includes a lower roofline. Offering seating for up to seven (or eight) occupants, this Odyssey also came with a new “3-mode” second-row seat design and an easier to use fold-away 60/40 split 3rd-row seat. Even its third row seat provides ample head and legroom for adults and a surprisingly high degree of comfort.
Polonez Tri-City Polish Association Proudly Present
by Bob McHugh
Its stylish “lightning-bolt” body belt line, that zig-zag just aft of the sliding door, also cleverly provides third row passengers a larger window. A bigger part of the fuel economy improvement story was the new 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 engine that came with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM). The VCM technology allows the engine to operate on just three or four of its six cylinders when power requirements are low, such as highway cruising. When linked with a sixspeed automatic transmission in the Touring edition of Odyssey it can achieve best-in-class city/highway fuel economy, rated at 10.9/7.1 L/100km (city/ highway). The same engine comes standard with a fivespeed automatic transmis-
sion in all other trim levels of Odyssey, which are LX, EX, EX-RES and EX-L. The Touring edition, which is considered the most luxurious Honda minivan ever, came with a 16.2inch ultra-wide screen rear entertainment system, a cool box for beverages, a multi-view rear-view camera with parking aid lines, a Blind Spot information system and auto-leveling HID headlights. Odyssey also comes with an audio-based Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system and a chassis-based Active Control Engine Mount (ACM) system to cancel out noise and vibrations that can occur during the engines cylinder deactivation. Other than minor exterior
colour changes there were no changes to Odyssey for the 2012 model year. It got a back-up camera as standard equipment for 2013 but was otherwise unchanged. Designed, engineered and made in North America, the fourth-generation Odyssey has a very good reliability record and achieved a “Top Safety Pick” rating based on its Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s crash testing results. King of the open road and a giant among minivans, the Honda Odyssey may be the pricey option but it can also be a good vehicle investment. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

A Volvo that performs? The words “performance” and “Volvo” rarely appear in the same sentence but the new 2015 V60 Sportswagon R-Design should change the perception that the Swedish manufacturer is only capable of producing reliable and safety-conscious products to the exclusion of excitement. This performance-oriented T6 AWD version pumps out 325 hp, topping the base T6 by 25 hp and a massive 75 more than the four-cylinder and fuel efficient base T5. A week aboard this wagon showed it to be a very sporty machine on the highway and at its utilitarian best in the city. Combine some paddle shift action with the auto transmission in Sport mode and you can push the car from zero to 100 clicks in about six seconds. Taking the V60 at speed around the twisties along the Sea-toSky Highway demonstrated its excellent handling capabilities, courtesy of corner traction control. Ergonomic seats ensure the driver is also firmly gripped in those corners. Gee, I forgot I was in a Volvo. But before we run away with the idea that Volvo has abandoned what it is best known for, it should be mentioned that there is an option to add the world’s first Cyclist Detection and auto brake technology to the line. This coupe-like wagon looks good, too. A wide grille greets you and the
by Keith Morgan
classic Volvo-V shaped sculpted hood is still there but cleaner, contemporary lines flow back towards the traditional taillights. Inside, the rear seats fold down in three 40/20/40 segments so adding still more space to the already generous area to the rear of the seats. Parents of young children will like the twostage pop-up integrated booster cushions. The inclusion of the fun factor in the R-Design version is a smart move for a company trying to win new friends among affluent car buyers. Make no mistake these are prestige vehicles with a fitting price tag. The base four-cylinder models start at around $42,000 and the R-Design driven by your truly topped $51,000. I’ve also driven – if briefly – other Volvos equipped with the new Drive-E four-cylinder engines, mated to 8-speed auto transmissions, and they are remarkable. They offer a performance more akin to a typical 6. So, give the base models a shot if you are not looking for a pulsating ride in a Volvo. Did I just say that? keith.morgan @drivewaybc.ca

Mindful eating is a strategy for sustained weight loss that focuses on how you eat rather than what you eat. It is an approach that involves paying attention to the process of eating, including: making choices to start or finish a meal based on awareness of hunger, cues for mindless eating, increasing the quality of your meal, not the quantity and more. Messina will share practical ideas that will help participants on a day to day basis be more mindful of what and how they are eating. The fee for this seminar is $6.25 and pre-registration is required. To register and for more information, call 604-927-4386. Dogwood Pavilion is a Coquitlam recreation facility for people 50 or older and is located at 624 Poirier St., with the entrance off Winslow Avenue.

T
he Renewing Riverview consultation process being conducted by BC Housing is continuing with a second round of public open houses on May 24 and 28. This time, the goal will be to solicit comments from the public regarding future uses of the Riverview lands. Feedback obtained from the first round of open houses in late February and March was strongly in favour of continuing with mental health care services on the site. In addition, considerable support was also expressed for preserving its park-like setting, protecting the tree collection and restoring the splendid heritage buildings. I hope people will not become fatigued with the need to continue to participate in these open houses and express their strong support for an ongoing role for mental health care at Riverview while BC Housing conducts its lengthy consultation process.This process is expected to continue into early 2015, with a third round of public meetings to come this fall and a final one next year. There is little doubt that we urgently need more facilities for mental health care. The Riverview site, beautifully designed with mental health in mind, remains an ideal place to offer such services. With so many homeless people living on the streets and studies indicating that more than half of them have mental health problems, there is obviously a need to provide some form of residential care, whether on a short-term or more intermediate-term basis. There is also a need for additional care facilities for the long term-care of the elderly, especially those suffering from dementia. There are existing buildings at Riverview that could easily be adapted to fill these roles. One such building is Valleyview, which opened in 1959 with 382 beds to provide care for geriatric patients with mental illness. Such services are still needed, although, under contemporary standards, probably only about half that number of patients could now comfortably

The Crease Clinic building, often used by the movie industry, is an outstanding example of the art deco heritage style on the Riverview Hospital grounds.
MeeTIngs On MAY 24 & 28
Your input at the upcoming Riverview Hospital open houses (Saturday, May 24 from 2 to 6 p.m. at Dogwood Pavilion in Coquitlam and Wednesday, May 28 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Kyle Centre in Port Moody) could be just what is needed to help make this happen. Alternatively, you can participate online at www.renewingriverview.com. be accommodated at Valleyview. In addition to physiotherapy and occupational therapy facilities,Valleyview also would offer two enclosed gardens where dementia patents could enjoy being out of doors. Many people also supported an expanded heath care role for Riverview in other areas, such as providing a teaching hospital that could specialize in certain types of surgery or other care. The Henry EssonYoung building, which opened in 1957 as a nursing school, offers auditoriums, classrooms, space for an extensive library plus 100 residential rooms. It remains ideally suited to continue to play a role in providing teaching or, possibly, conference facilities. The North Lawn building, which also dates from the 1950s, originally offered 230 beds for the care of patients suffering from tuberculosis. Again, this is a building similar in age to many buildings throughout Metro Vancouver that still host health care services. The movie industry remains active on the Riverview site and continues to use the beautiful art deco Crease Clinic building, originally built to provide care for veterans, as well as a number of other buildings. While many people support continuing with movie industry use on site, there is little doubt the highest and best uses
of buildings designed as hospitals would be to provide patient care. A suggestion to provide some social housing at Riverview makes little sense to me. To be successful and avoid stigmatization, social housing has to be integrated with regular market housing. But there is strong opposition to creating market housing at Riverview. After all, in the 1980s, more than 80 hectares of Riverview was sold to create the Riverview Heights subdivision just uphill from the hospital grounds. Enough of the Riverview site has already been sacrificed for market housing. A review of the building condition assessment report prepared by BC Housing surprisingly revealed many buildings at Riverview remain in active use, albeit on a short-term basis. Some buildings are currently used for outpatient care while others have been leased by non-profit groups such as Coast Mental Health for use by patients as halfway homes for those preparing to reintegrate into society. Although the provincial government has failed to undertake some much needed repairs, several buildings are currently used as residences by patients seeking rehabilitation. In fact, given the number of patients living on site, it’s a shame Pennington Hall, a recreation facility
opened in the 1950s for patient use, cannot be repaired and reopened for the use of these on-site patients. Given the need for additional mental health care facilities and all that Riverview has to offer, it’s not difficult to envision a future for Riverview that would be not too dissimilar from its past. Add in a little horticultural instruction (to take advantage of the magnificent grounds and trees, which do need some care and attention), bring in a few arts groups to add to cultural services to the mix and we could have an outstanding centre of excellence for mental wellness at Riverview.

Natural living at Bridlewood in Coquitlam By Kerry Vital
Located on the banks of West Smiling Creek and a tree-lined stream, Bridlewood by Polygon will have you feeling like you’re a part of nature. The peaceful location on Burke Mountain will make you enjoy staying close to home. Since opening for sale earlier this year, these homes have been so well-received that to keep up with demand, the second and final phase of homes at Bridlewood will be released for sale on Saturday May 24th.
The executive three- and four-bedroom townhomes are built in a Craftsman style, and feature warm cedar shingles, brick facades and gables. Every home has a generous deck or patio, as well as a private fenced yard. Inside, the warm wood laminate floors on the main level combine with large windows and overheight ceilings to make for a truly beautiful living space. The kitchens include stainlesssteel appliances, engineered stone countertops, and a family sized kitchen island.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
The ensuite bathroom is made for luxury, with a glass shower with rain shower head, engineered stone countertops and his-and-hers sinks. All homes feature a convenient powder room on the main level and double car garages (side-by-side and tandem). Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain is one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland. Bridlewood has hiking and biking trails on the doorstep as well as the shops and services at Meridian Corner and Meridian Crossing. Coquitlam Town Centre is just a short drive away, as well as transit via the new Evergreen Line. This is the final phase at Bridlewood and the last opportunity to own a home at this sought-after community. Homes at Bridlewood start at $429,900.

The homes at McBride Station are inspired by Fort Langley’s history and heritage buildings, and include such gorgeous features as stainless-steel applainces, quartz countertops and large frameless glass showers in the ensuite.
A piece of history at McBride Station By Kerry Vital
Fort Langley can feel like a historic enclave in the middle of the otherwise-bustling Lower Mainland. Local builder Lanstone Homes is contributing to that feeling with McBride Station, an exclusive collection of townhomes that has found inspiration in the past. “This is your chance to own a piece of history,” says Michelle Taylor, director of marketing for Frontline Real Estate Services. “This is going to be one of the last
opportunities to own new product in Fort Langley.” McBride Station is located on land that was once owned by Charles Edward Hope, one of Fort Langley’s first pioneers. The 52 townhomes are inspired by four of Fort Langley’s heritage buildings: The Hope House, The Carriage House, The Station House and The Marr House. The original heritage Carriage House is located right beside McBride Station, and The Marr House and The Station House are close by. The homes range from approximately 1,150 to over 3,000 square feet, in five different master-on-main or traditional floorplans. “They feel like a single-family home,” Taylor says. “There’s nothing cookie-cutter about them.” The exteriors have tons of curb appeal, with twelve different colour schemes to choose
from, a double-car garage and a fully fenced backyard with a covered paver stone patio. Inside, engineered hardwood and nine-foot ceilings throughout the main floor welcome you home. Coffered living room ceilings and large windows contribute to the spacious feeling, and every home has a full in-ground basement. The kitchens feature stainless-steel appliances complemented by quartz countertops, a marble mosaic tile backsplash and designer cabinetry, as well as a designer lighting package with island pendants, undercabinet puck lighting, dining chandelier and recessed ceiling lighting. Relaxing bathrooms have tile floors (with a heated mosaic floor in the ensuite), quartzite countertops and polished chrome fixtures. The master ensuite also has a large shower with frameless glass and a separate soaker tub
in some homes. On-site, homeowners will have access to a large greenhouse and garden plots with a fire pit and playground, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation on the McBride Station Trail that connects to the Fort to Fort Trail. Shopping at several local boutiques is just moments away, as well as restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, golf courses, and several other heritage sites. The homes at McBride Station have been extremely popular already. “Ninety per cent of the first release sold out in seven days,” says Taylor. Lanstone will celebrate the grand opening of the show home on May 24, as well as the release of the final phase of homes. Preregistration for VIP access is recommended. Homes start at $594,900. For more information, visit www.mcbridestation.com, call 604-888-7172 or stop by the sales centre at 9235 McBride Street, Langley, open daily (except Fridays) between noon and 5 p.m.

Boys of summer at Mackin Yard Coquitlam Little League hosted its Mackin Yard Invitational over the long weekend at Coquitlam’s Mackin Park. The event featured ballplayers ages nine to 12 years on 22 teams from across Metro Vancouver, from the North Shore to Langley. Clockwise from top left: A Coquitlam Giants pitcher warms up between innings in what would be a 12-12 tie with Jericho Blue Jays. A Coquitlam Giants player hits a hard ground ball up the middle for a base hit against the Trout Lake Angels. A Coquitlam Pirates player slides safely into third base in a 12-7 loss to Forest Hills Mariners 12-7. And Hastings’ pitcher fields the ball to throw out a Coquitlam Yankees batter en route to a 13-12 win.

Heritage soccer star will suit up for Trinity Heritage Woods secondary school senior Eric Dove is set to join an elite group of seven recently recruited by the Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer squad for the upcoming season. A striker, the five-foot-nine Dove’s formative soccer seasons were spent with Coquitlam MetroFord. Starting in 2012, he added overseas experience to his impressive playing resume, after training at the Genova International School of Soccer and Italy’s Serie B side Ascoli Calcio. This past fall, Dove returned home to Coquitlam, where he helped boost Metro-Ford to the BC Soccer Premier League championship and cup championship. He also played a key role in Coquitlam Metro-Ford Sparta’s capturing of the U18 Canadian national championship, leading his team in tournament scoring. Dove, who plans to study either business or psychology at TWU, said the soccer program’s stellar reputation attracted him to the Langley-based school.“I think Trinity Western is a great fit for me, both academically and athletically,” he said in the press release.
