Councillors want vote on Metro’s incineration program By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
CITY OF BREWERIES: From left, Liam Murphy, brew master, and Port Moody’s Yellow Dog Brewery owners Melinda and Mike Coghill with a taste of their pale ale before the large kettles they will use to brew their batches, which will be for sale in July. A second brewery, Moody Ales, is also opening this summer. See story on Page 3.
Two Coquitlam city councillors want voters to go to the polls during the municipal election to decide on the fate of Metro Vancouver’s incineration plans. On Monday, Coun. Neal Nicholson put forward a notice of motion — with Coun. Bonita Zarrillo seconding it — to ask city council to have the question on the ballot in November. Council will consider his motion at its June 16 meeting. H o weve r, the board chair of Metro Vancouver said should the referendum proceed, the results would be moot. And Greg Moore accused Nicholson, who is on Metro’s zero waste committee, of “playing politics” with garbage and recycling services in the region to gain publicity for himself in an election year. see NICHOLSON, page 13
Rotating strike set for Friday But a full-scale walkout could occur Monday By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The 25th annual Teddy Bear parade and picnic was held last Sunday at Coquitlam Town Centre See page 6 for photos.
School District 43’s 1,200 teachers are expected to walk off the job Friday — the third in a series of rotating strikes — amidst concern about a full-scale walkout that could begin as early as next Monday.
The Tri-City News went to press before the BC Teachers’ Federation released its vote count on whether to escalate job action (expected Tu e s d a y e v e n i n g ) . However, elementary and middle schools that were already considering holding their endof-the year celebrations, sports events or other activities this week have already held them or have told parents they are cancelled. Meanwhile, the prov-
ince promised in a letter to parents to ensure that Grade 10, 11 and 12 students would still be able to write their provincial exams and they would be marked (see sidebar). However, a full strike mandate doesn’t necessarily mean schools will be out Monday but the BC Teachers’ Federation could call for 72-hour strike notice at any time after the vote. Still, with the possibility of the last two
weeks of school being disrupted, the province has published information for parents telling them what to expect. It includes the following information: Fo r k i n d e rg a r t e n through Grade 9: • schools will be closed; • parents with children who need supervision should make child care arrangements; • and parents will receive final report cards, but in some cases the
reports may be more abbreviated. Fo r s t u d e n t s i n Grades 10, 11 and 12: • there are 15 provincial exam courses s c h e d u l e d b e t we e n June 16 and 26; • it is expected that secondary schools will only be open for the purpose of administering exams; • picket lines may be present and bus service will not be available; see B.C.

Summer of craft beers in Port Moody Two new breweries opening up on Murray Street By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
A new craft brewery opening up in Port Moody is a dream come true for a young family. This July, Yellow Dog Brewery will open a craft brewery and tasting room on Murray Street across from Rocky Point Park and Mike and Melinda Coghill along with their head brew master Liam Murphy hope it will become a local landmark. Fro m t h e s t a r t , Melinda said, everything has come together nicely: their social media campaign on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram has been a hit (they are using the hashtag #buildingabrewery), their location is superb and they have the support and expertise to launch a new business. “It’s been a dream for a long time,” admits Melinda, a new mom, who is juggling the brewery installation and her baby’s needs along with a regular day job for a finance company. Th e c o u p l e o n l y moved to PoMo from Vancouver a year ago, and despite being new parents, they decided to launch into the micro-brewery business. After some research,

Yellow Dog Brewery owner Mike Coghill pours a glass of Chase My Tail pale ale from taps he built into his home fridge. The fridge will be returned to the garage after the brewery opens up with a selection of three craft beers available in cans, bottles and and growlers. they joined forces with Murphy, from Parallel 49 Brewing Company and are developing a line of hop-forward brews they
believe will be popular among beer enthusiasts and casual imbibers. For Murphy, who trained at the American
Brewers Guild out of Vermont, U.S., coming onboardYellow Dog is an exciting challenge because he gets to come up with
his own recipes for beer based on his knowledge of the beer process, the ingredients and the best places to source them. “We want stuff that people will recognize that will be absolutely full flavoured and delicious,”Murphy said. Melinda said the brewery is a family affair and will provide a casual atmosphere for people who might be out for a walk at Rocky Point Park and would like to try some ales. Named after the Coghill’s dog Chase, the brews have whimsical names such as Chase My Tail Pale Ale, Play Dead India Pale Ale and Take a Walk Wit but they have some serious flavour. The beer will be sold in cans, bottles and refillable growlers at the Murray Street location, as well as at some local privately owned liquor stores. Eventually, the Coghills hope it will listed at B.C. liquor stores. “You are getting a craft. You’re getting local. You’re getting unique, which is something special,”Melinda said. Last week, they brought their signature brews to the Vancouver Craft Beer Week festival and later in July, the Coghills hope to have completed construction of their offices, tasting room and manufacturing area, providing the public an opportunity to try several tastings or sip a
12 oz glass.“We want this to become a destination.” They may be on to something because as Murray Street develops, it may one day be home to cafes, condos and shops and will be just steps away from the the Moody Centre station if a pedestrian bridge can be built in conjunction with new development in the area. When that happens, the Coghills can toast to the fact that they were on the cutting edge of the city’s long time vision of waterfront redevelopment. Yellow Dog Brewery can be found on Facebook at www.facebook/YellowDogBeer.
MOODY ALES
Meanwhile, another craft brewery is opening up just a little further west on Murray Street: Moody Ales, a craft microbrewery, will open in late summer 2014 at 2601 Murray St. The brewery will feature a storefront for bottle purchases and growler fills, as well as a tasting room where customers can sample the full-flavoured lineup of beers. Local homebrewers Adam Crandall and Dan Helmer are behind the project. In their previous lives, Adam and Dan were IT consultants at Habanero Consulting in Vancouver, where they worked together for over three years. “Adam and I have brewed lots of beers to-
gether over the years,” said Helmer, “and we’re excited to share our beer and what we’ve learned about beer and brewing with the Tri-Cities.” Helmer will be brewing with a new B . C . - m a d e 1 0 - b a rrel system fabricated by Ripley Stainless in Summerland, as well as a smaller 115 litre pilot system. “We’ve designed the brewery so that we will be able to meet anticipated demand for our flagship beers which we’ve spent a long time perfecting and to expand our production when necessary, but still be able to make a bunch of small batches of seasonal and experimental beers,” said Helmer in a press release. Crandall and Helmer both grew up in the Lower Mainland and both now live in nearby Coquitlam. “Port Moody has changed a lot over the last few years and we’re excited about the direction in which the city is headed. We look forward to Moody Ales growing with the community,” Helmer said. Moody Ales plans to sell its beer in bottles and growlers at its storefront as well as local private liquor stores. The beers will also be available on tap at the tasting room and local bars and restaurants. More information is available at www. moodyales.com.
Big changes coming to Murray Street By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
Port Moody’s mayor is welcoming two new craft breweries that will serve tastings of ale as part of their sales and manufacturing process as Murray Street transitions to a waterfront boulevard of cafes, businesses and condos close to the Evergreen Line. Yellow Dog Brewery and Moody Ales plan to open this summer and Mayor Mike Clay said they will add a vibrancy to the street that is currently light industrial. “It would be neat to
HOw DO YOu LikE YOur pArkS?
That’s the question the city of Port Moody is asking residents as it reviews its Parks and Recreation Master Plan. On Thursday, June 12, the city is hosting an open house on the topic from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Port Moody recreation complex lobby (300 Ioco Rd.). The draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan, presentation panels and comment forms are all available on the city’s website at www.portmoody.ca.
have funky cafes, brew pubs, and people could literally skip over to SkyTrain, that would be our full time goal,” said Clay, pointing out that the Moody Centre Station is located im-
mediately behind Yellow Dog, although it would need a pedestrian bridge to link Murray Street with the transit system. He said once the Official Community Plan is adopted and Metro
Vancouver agrees to changing the street’s designation from industrial to general urban, there will be opportunities for new development including six-storey buildings with businesses below and residential above. The OCP calls for upper floors to be set back to allow for outdoor spaces and create a buffer from street level activities, north south pedestrian connections between developments and Moody Central station will be pursued and bike lanes, sidewalks, street furniture, public art, traffic calming mea-
sures and additional signalized crossings will be promoted as part of new development. Clay said he expects Metro Vancouver to sign off on re-designating the street because it is close to the Evergreen Line and ripe for transit-oriented development. He would also like to see commercial art spaces and studios along the street and high tech businesses, such as software labs, to generate employment. “But until we get the OCP passed, it’s hard to explore those ideas,”Clay said.

New neighbourhood plans coming to Burquitlam area

Extensive public consultation involved, says Coq. city staff
Our clients have saved over $7,000.00 on average over the last 5 years.
By Janis Warren ThE Tri-CiTy NEws
An advisory group is now being formed to envision how two west Coquitlam neighbourhoods will look like in the next 25 years. On M o n d ay, c i t y c o u n c i l a s ke d staff to hit the start button for the Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan update, a two-year process that will create a blueprint to add 14,000 more people by 2041. Carl Johannsen, Coquitlam’s manager of community planning, said the update will involve extensive public consultation plus work from the public advisory group that will include representatives from the Burquitlam Community Association and Oakdale Neighbourhood Association as well as social, school and seniors’ agencies. The adjoining cities of Burnaby, Port Moody and New Westminster and School District 43 will also be asked for their input on the region
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Evergreen Line, due to be running through Lougheed and Burquitlam to Coquitlam Town Centre by the summer of 2016, is the impetus for a city update of the BurquitlamLougheed Neighbourhood Plan. that is now having a $1.4-billion rapid transit line built through it. Council concurred the Evergreen Line will be “a game changer” for the community; however, at Monday’s meeting, they didn’t agree that Burquitlam and Lougheed should be combined for the update. Coun. Neal Nicholson’s motion to have city staff create two separate neighbourhood plans — but still under the same re-visioning process — was defeated by one vote, with Mayor Richard

Stewart and councillors Brent Asmundson, Mae Reid, Terry O’Neill and Chris Wilson opposing. The latter group successfully countered the distinct cultures of the two neighbourhoods and its sub-areas will be maintained under the combined plan. And they argued Burquitlam and Lougheed have many land-use policies in common, the most prevalent being around the new Evergreen Line corridor. They also suggested having two different plans would cost the city more money and
would slow the update— something that can’t be afforded as development pressures build around the massive piece of infrastructure. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development services, said staff want to have “one framework but with a mosaic of neighbourhoods” that would take into account the large multi-cultural population. Still, Coun. Reid, a real estate agent, said council shouldn’t be focused on redrawing the map. Rather, it must concentrate on “stopping the angst” for redevelopment: Area homeowners and businesses want to know how their property fits into the overall vision and whether they are situated in a high-density zone with highrises or a medium-density area with townhouses and condo blocks, she said. Meanwhile, city planner Ryan Perry said the update will also include an outreach with ethnic media and a communications push before each open house; the first gathering is expected to take place this fall, after the public advisory group meets. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Petition calls for rebuild of Rochester outdoor pool 5-year Custom Residents want facility re-opened after 2007 closure By Janis Warren The TRi-CiTy News
A 531-signature petition was submitted to Coquitlam city hall last week to reopen or rebuild the only outdoor pool in Maillardville. On Monday, councilin-committee heard from Rochester Avenue resident Jim Kelly, who collected the names over the past month. Kelly was joined at his presentation by Jennifer Martin, a mother of five who stressed a pool — especially for tweens and teens — is essential in the neighbourhood. The closure of Rochester Pool two years ago struck a nerve in the growing community, where Kelly and Martin said about a quarter of children are identified as “vulnerable” because of low family incomes. Th e c l o s u r e wa s raised by the committee earlier this spring, when Coun. Mae Reid said she didn’t agree with the findings of a 2012
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
The closure of Rochester Pool in 2012 has become a “rallying point” for the community of Maillardville, some city councillors say. study for the city that showed outdoor pools are not well used and are expensive to run. The city pulled the plug on the 44-year-old Rochester tank (and filled it with sand for summer programming) because of cracks and other safety concerns. City staff said the pool had been failing since 2007 and, in 2011, classes were moved to Spani and Eagle Ridge outdoor pools — a good trek for south
Coquitlam families, Martin said. “The sand pit doesn’t work. We want our pool back,” she told the committee. According to a city report, it would cost $170,000 to repair the 25-yard basin or $4 million to replace it. Sekora, who two years ago called for Rochester Pool to be demolished, has since softened his stance, noting the changing demographics in Maillardville.
“Maybe we should rethink it,” he suggested. Coun. Craig Hodge said the the pool decommissioning has been “a rallying point” for the community. (A Facebook page was created in 2012 by an area resident, titled “Save Rochester Pool.” It now has 218 members.) However, Hodge said he recently canvassed the neighbourhood and got mixed reviews as to whether the pool should be rebuilt at Rochester Park — which is about to undergo renovation work by the city and has limited parking — or elsewhere. Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks and recreation, said the redevelopment of Rochester Park is a priority for council and city staff are now taking an inventory of the park assets, some of which are shared by School District 43. A preliminary assessment is due to come before city council next month; an open house is expected to happen with the Maillardville community in the fall, Allueva said.

Graciey Wiebe and Molly lead a group of walkers through the streets of Port Coquitlam during the I Am Someone second annual walk to end bullying last December.
Teens can now text if they need help By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
A long-awaited texting platform to support children and youth who have been bullied or who have other concerns has garnered the support of a major funder. Telus is committing $40,000 to the I Am Someone Ending Bullying Society to get the program up and running this September, with bc211, which will provide the resource and referral service. This platform will enable youth dealing with bullying, as well as issues ranging from gangs, sexual exploitation, date violence, hate crimes, discrimination and abuse to send a text for support and assistance in finding help. “For youth in a crisis, the ability to reach out for help in the most comfort-
able way possible is crucial,” said Port Coquitlam Mayor and society vicepresident Greg Moore. “Through this partnership with bc211 and Teluswe can offer that very important way to connect.” In addition to the $40,000, Telus employees have also raised close to $3,500 for the project. “Telus is committed to helping change lives through the power of technology,” said Jill Schnarr, vice-president, community affairs at Telus, in a press release. “This new texting program will give kids who need help the opportunity to reach out for support using their smartphones — ensuring safer, healthier futures for our youth and our communities.” The service will operate as a pilot for public and private schools in the Tri-City area. It will launch early
September and run between September and December, with hours of texting service Wednesday to Sunday from 3:30 to 11 p.m. Society founder Gary Mauris, president of Dominion Lending Centres, is pleased a business has put its resources behind the project that got its start after a series of high-profile teen suicides in School District 43. If the pilot is successful, the texting program could be expanded to other communities. Donations are still needed however, and can be made through the Vancouver Foundation. The society also holds an annual Walk to End Bullying and the next walk will take place in February, 2015. More information is available at iamsomeone. ca or on Facebook. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Sun safety
PICTURE THIS adrian raeside
C
anadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us. After being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the snow and cold and, in the case of southwestern British Columbia, interminable rain, we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine. By July we’re positively basking in it. Problem is, we don’t like to cover up and we’re loath to slap on some sticky, oily or runny sun screen to protect our skin. And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released last week by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians. Another 76,100 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office. Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up 2% between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5%. Mortality rates also increased. Also, the Canadian Cancer Society is worried about risky behaviour of young adults, who are most likely to use tanning beds and who tend to spend the most time in the sun without protecting themselves. Consider that a single, blistering sunburn before the age of 20 can double a person’s chance of developing melanoma. Thus it’s even more important that young people cover up, wear hats, sun glasses and lip balm and seek shade. While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat and slop on that sunscreen. And pay heed to that UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging. -The Burnaby NewsLeader
Natural gas is the other pipeline showdown BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions. Natural gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports and pulled off an upset election win that not even she expected. Most of the heat she has taken on this issue is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the province’s debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax. But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on
T
a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session. At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.” Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here. Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline. The camp came to my attention last summer when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip

north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the Chevron-Apache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat. The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind. The Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil. A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, www.genuinewitty. com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and pos-
turing protesters. Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April, he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as“a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.”They include Harsha Walia, who organized protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Meanwhile, in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil but gas is the protest industry’s latest target.

Cyclists, dog owners need solutions, not complaints The Editor, Re. “Four views on offleash dogs, parks, trails and bike riders” (Letters, The Tri-City News, June 6). I have a dog and walk those Coquitlam trails two to three times a day. I always keep my dog on leash because he doesn’t have the greatest recall yet. Plus I’m scared of the bears and him running off after one. Most bikers are very
respectful and slow down at blind spots and when they pass people and dogs. But there are many that use the trail as a race track for bicycles. They are using it as a marathon training circuit. It’s very scary sometimes. But I also have encountered off-leash dogs that have become a problem for me too. Sometimes they come up so fast my
dog reacts badly. If you say anything, they begin to verbally assault you. It would be better for everyone to ask if its OK for the dogs to meet before any encounter happens. My point is only a few people who either ride bikes or let there dogs off-leash are completely ruining it for us who do follow the rules. I completely understand everyone’s point of view
but do not lump me into a negative category because of the actions of only a few. Ninety per cent of my time on the trails is wonderful and filled with courteous bikers and dog owners. I couldn’t ask for more than to have this beautiful nature right at my back door. Instead of just sending in such angry comments from both sides, why don’t we
Changes to ALC slows progress The Editor, Re: “Farmland fate a test for parties” (The TriCity News, June 4). For Tom Fletcher, a fan of the recent ALR bill, only “a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land” might make the concerns about it “at least partially true.” Short of the
flood, it seems any bad effect from the weakened Agricultural Land Commission Act is nothing. Fortunately, the bill spurred wide pro-ALR action. The efforts to stop “the bill to kill the ALR” (at least for consultation) were also a means to boost the critical mass
of aware citizens for the next stage, which is now. Of course, the ALC is a tribunal, and like a court it is meant to start with evidence, not decisions. Until the recent bill kneecapped the commission, the current chair was modernizing the ALC methods for quality
assurance and efficiency, minimizing mistakes. Now the changes to the ALC Act have disabled much of the progress and worse. With vigilance, the harm can be limited. Jim Wright President, Garden City Conservation Society Richmond, B.C.

Metro wants to build a waste-to-energy facility — at a cost of about $480 million — to replace the aging centre in Burnaby, by 2018. Currently, the incinerator burns 280,000 tonnes of trash annually; a new incinerator would burn an estimated 370,000 tonnes a year, Metro Vancouver officials say. “Coquitlam can do what they want but Metro Vancouver is proceeding based on the clear direction of the board,” said Moore, Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s mayor, adding, “Metro Vancouver is proceeding on our solid-waste management resource plan that’s been approved by the prov i n c i a l gove rn m e nt so this is a document that has had thorough consultation... and the focal point of most of those discussions wasn’t about reducing and recycling it
Tri-City News. Still, Nicholson said the topic has generated a lot of feedback from residents. “ Th ey ’ r e wo r r i e d about it. They don’t think it’s the right way to go,” he said. Metro can continue to landfill at Cache Creek or a closer site, if possible, he said. And putting the question to the Coquitlam electorate will give voters a voice at the regional table, Nicholson argued. “This is the biggest decision being made at Metro for a long time. It’s a huge amount of money and once it’s committed and the contract is awarded, we are down that road for a long, long time.” “I’m not saying ‘Don’t support it.’ I’m saying, ‘Tell me what you think,’” he said. A call to Coun. Zarrillo was not returned by The News’ print deadline.

B.C. gov’t strikes deal with school support staff continued from front page
• and every effort will be made for provincial exams to be marked and final course marks conveyed in a timely way The teachers’ dispute heats up as the province has struck a tentative deal with 34,000 school support staff. The fiveyear agreement reached Saturday provides wage increases totalling 5.5%, with potential for more tied to the performance of the B.C. economy — in line with the standard settlements reached with other public sector unions. It covers education assistants, school secretaries, caretakers, bus drivers and other education support staff, mostly represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). The union and provincial negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employers Association hammered the deal out in just five days follow-

a solution.” He said the union also secured increased hours for education assistants and standardization gains to extended health benefit plans. Asked if the timing of talks amid the intensifying teachers dispute helped CUPE negotiators, Hewitt said only the teachers were not discussed at the table.

picket lines. The union’s support for the B.C. Teachers Federation and teachers’ pursuit of long-term adequate funding for public education “hasn’t changed one iota,” CUPE B.C. president Mark Hancock said. “Just as the teachers have been at our side as our members have fought for public education, we continue to stand with them.” The deal running through to the summer of 2019 must still be ratified by union members. As with other agreements, school support staff get further wage increases in the final four years of the agreement equivalent to half of any increase of provincial economic growth in excess of the budget’s forecast. GDP growth of 1% above the forecast in a given year would, for example, trigger a further 0.5% pay hike. — with files from Jeff Nagel

Labour board urged to make grades essential Request comes ahead of BCTF vote on walkout
Day camp
Coquitlam’s Place des Arts is again opening its doors to kids during the teachers’ rotating strike. On Friday, the Maillardville arts hub will offer two blocks for kindergarten to Grade 2 and one block for students in grades 3 to 5. At a cost of about $45, the daylong camp runs from 8:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and there will be afterhours care available until 4:45 p.m. To register for the June 13 sessions, call Place des Arts at 604-664-1636, visit online at placedesarts.ca.

The province is awaiting a Labour Relations Board declaration that secondary school exams and report cards are an essential service necessary to protect students in the ongoing B.C. teacher’s strike. The application to extend essential services and avoid “serious and immediate damage” to students was filed last Friday with the Labour Relations Board by the B.C. Public School Employers Association and a ruling is expected this week. The proposed widening of the existing essential services order so Grade 10 to 12 students can finish the school year and get their final grades would only apply if the B.C. Teachers Federation escalates to a full strike
from one-day-a-week rotating strikes in each district. A vote by teachers on whether to escalate strike action was ex-
pected Tuesday, before The News’ print deadline. A move to a full strike could come as soon as Monday, June 16, the first day of the provincial exam schedule. The requested order would cover not just teachers but support staff represented by CUPE and other unions that would not cross teachers’ picket lines. That would also ensure new special needs students are designated and payroll processing continues. The request covers all services needed to prepare, run and mark all provincial and schoolbased exams as well as compile and enter final grades. The application says failure to deliver final grades would leave graduating students ineligible for scholarships and potentially unable to apply to post-secondary institutions or employers. – with files from Monisha Martins

Strike action looms over legal aid cash Some but not all B.C. lawyers to withdraw aid during July By Jeff Nagel BlaCk PreSS
Some B.C. lawyers are once again planning to withdraw legal aid services in a bid to force the provincial government to pour more money into the system. Bentley Doyle, spokesperson for t h e Tr i a l L a w y e r s Association of BC (TLABC), said participating lawyers will halt work on existing legal aid cases and refuse new ones for the month of July. Previous legal aid “strikes” split the legal community and there’s no sign the tactic will be embraced by all lawyers this t i m e , e i t h e r. D oy l e said 50 to 75 lawyers in Vancouver are on board, as well as a group in Kamloops and the aim is to recruit more in other areas. “We have good support in places like Kelowna,” he said. The plan is to continue the action in the fall with one-week-amonth stoppages starting in October. Both criminal and family law cases will be affected. The recommendation of the TLABC’s legal aid action committee comes on the heels of the provincial government’s decision to provide an extra $2 million for justice transformation pilot projects. That boosts the budget of the Legal Services Society to $74.5 million, helping unwind some of the cuts of recent years, but the budget of the agency that provides legal aid is still down more than 20% from 2001. “It’s a drop in the bucket,” Doyle said of the extra money, which the province says will fund initiatives to more quickly resolve legal cases, such as mediation and out-of-court solutions. TLABC continues to argue more funding should come from the 7% legal services tax that it says B.C. created to fund legal aid, although successive governments have denied that was the intent. “That 7% is gener-
IN QUOTES
“That 7% is generating more than $140 million per year for the government. The system is barely getting half of that back in legal aid.” Bentley Doyle ating more than $140 million per year for the government,” Doyle said. “The system is barely getting half of that back in legal aid.” He said chronic underfunding of legal aid has meant tighter means tests over the ye a r s t h at l e ave a growing number of people inefficiently representing themselves before the courts. BC Crown Counsel Association president Samiran Lakshman said self-represented litigants are an ongoing problem in the courts, adding that nine out of 10 family law cases have at least one party appearing without a lawyer. “It’s the children of B.C. who get robbed of justice when the parents don’t have all the tools they need to make their case,” he said. Adding to the problem, Lakshman said, is the shrinking number of lawyers willing to do legal aid work in B.C. because the money provided makes it “simply unsustainable.” The court system continues to run with too few judges, he said, as well as insufficient staff in other areas, such as court registries, which sometimes close for the afternoon because there aren’t enough clerks to both handle registry inquiries and record proceedings in court. But measurements of court congestion have improved in most respects — the length of time to get a halfday criminal case to t r i a l h a s i m p rove d from more than 10 months in 2011 to just five, below the provincial goal of six months. Lakshman agreed there’s been dramatic improvement on criminal cases but said delays are “getting intolerable” for family court and there continue to be signs of severe
congestion in specific courthouses. A Surrey courtroom recently had one day when six full-day trials were scheduled, he said. “We don’t have a healthy justice system.” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said
the Legal Services Society has assured her it will do its best to refer clients to willing legal aid lawyers in the event of job action, potentially by bringing in lawyers from other areas if necessary. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Fraser Health review findings now overdue By Jeff Nagel Black Press
A strategic and operational review of Fraser Health is now overdue but Health Minister Terry Lake said he hopes its work will be finished later this month. Lake told the Legislature on May 28 there will not be a separate report on the review made public but its find-
Tri-CiTy News file phoTo
B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake. ings will be incorporated into a new three-year strategic plan for the health region, which is expected to be submitted to the province by
the end of June. It’s unclear when the plan might be approved and ultimately made public. Lake said the process has run past the original May 31 deadline because of the appointment of new board chair Wynne Powell, who suddenly replaced former board chair David Mitchell in early April. “We don’t want to shortchange the process,” he said. “With the change in leadership, that does throw a bit of a wrench into
the timeline.” The probe of B.C.’s fastest-growing health region was announced late last year in response to what Lake called Fraser’s repeated failures to stay within its annual budget allocations. The health region has been receiving annual increases of 6% a year — more than the 4.8% at other B.C. health regions. NDP health critic Judy Darcy said it’s unacceptable for the province to hide the detailed findings of the review
committee from the public. “We won’t actually see what the analysis is of what’s gone wrong at Fraser Health or what’s recommended,” she said. “We will have to read the tea leaves of the new strategic plan in order to determine that. “I don’t think that’s transparent. I don’t think that’s particularly accountable. I think people served by Fraser Health deserve better.” Darcy said she hopes the review takes a hard look at strategic invest-
ments needed to deal with long-term health care challenges, rather than focusing solely on savings to limit spending over the short term. One of the key difficulties at Fraser is the large and rapidly growing seniors population. Fraser has 250,000 seniors already — 50% more than the next two largest health regions combined — and that number is forecast to more than double to 510,000 over the next 20 years.

Federal program finds new homes for old computers 1.3 million Macs and PCs have been refurbished By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Grade 6 student Arash Bigdelou works on a social studies project at Ecole Maple Creek middle school in Port Coquitlam, where Industry Minister and Tri-City MP James Moore announced the renewal of the Computers for Schools program last Friday.
A 20-year-old federal program that sees surplus computers donated to schools and public libraries was rebooted last week in Port Coquitlam. Industry Minister and Tri-City MP James Moore renewed the Conservative’s commitment of $36 million for Computers for Schools — one of the pillars of
Digital Canada 150, an initiative that aims to get the country more tech savvy in the lead up to the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. “We want to make sure we are united as a county,” Moore told students at Ecole Maple Creek middle school at a press conference last Friday. Since 1993, Computers for Schools has delivered more than 1.3 million refurbished computers to schools, public libraries, nonprofit learning centres and First Nations com-
munities across Canada. Young interns with the Technical Work Experience Program update the surplus computers and wipe clean the hard drives for reuse. Under the program, only IBM-compatible computers with Pentium IV level or up and Macintosh computers with PowerMac G4 level or higher are accepted. Mary-Em Waddington, executive director of B.C. Technology for Learning Society, said her organization has benefitted and, as a result, students have had
better access to technology. In April, Moore officially launched Digital Canada 150, a communications mandate that includes 39 targets such as supplying high-speed internet to more than 98% of Canadians; protecting online transactions and privacy; capping domestic wireless roaming rates; and helping small- to medium-sized businesses tap into more technology. It also incorporates a new anti-spam law that comes into effect on July 1. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Bulged Disc
] Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.
Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal...Without Drugs or Surgery Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure

within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatment options available at Vancouver Spine & Disc Centre.
Class IV Therapeutic Laser The Spinal Decompression Institute employs a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is an outpatient, nonsurgical procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has shown results in returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a noninvasive option for those facing surgery.
Who is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression? With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back and neck pain at some point in their lives and those types of pain being the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that back and neck pain exists in epidemic proportions today.
— Bridget Many spinal conditions can be treated, including pain due to bulging and herniated discs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and much more. If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

Cat tales can make for an entertaining read of the curve Plenty of feline fables available at the public library
T
here are an estimated 7.9 million cats living in homes across Canada. Cat fanciers will know that each feline has a unique, sometimes strange and unpredictable personality. The following books explore the world of cats and show that they are much more than cuddly balls of fur. James Bowen saved the life of a stray cat and the cat repaid the favour. In A Street Cat Named Bob: And How He Saved My Life, Bowen tells the story of life with his orange tabby tomcat. In 2007, Bowen was a street musician and recovering heroin addict living in sheltered accommodation in north London. He took stray cat Bob into his home and helped the cat overcome a variety of health issues. One day, Bob refused to stay home and he followed Bowen on his daily busking trip to Covent Garden, becoming an instant celebrity. The relationship that develops between Bowen and Bob is both humorous and heartwarming. An adaptation of the book for children is also available entitled Bob, No Ordinary Cat. Cleo: The Cat Who Mended a Family by Helen Brown chronicles life with a new kitten. This runt-of-the-litter kitten does more than frustrate, amuse and delight her new family. Tiny Cleo helps her family members through the grieving process after Brown’s young son dies in a car accident. Cleo’s charming and lively personality provides comfort to the family through a time of intense sadness. Gwen Cooper has written about her amazing cat in Homer’s Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I
Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat. Homer was abandoned and needed to have both eyes removed due to a life-threatening infection. The veterinarian who performed the procedure had unsuccessfully looked for a home for the kitten for weeks until she asked Cooper if she would adopt Homer. The cat seems to have superhero powers as he jumps higher and is faster than Cooper’s two sighted cats. Homer has many incredible adventures and overcomes his challenges with the heart and courage of a lion. David Dosa is a health services researcher, professor and geriatrician in Rhode Island who writes about a therapy cat in his book Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat. In 2005, Oscar was adopted by a nursing home and the nursing staff soon discovered that he could sense the imminent death of patients. Oscar curls up beside a dying patient and only leaves the room after the patient passes away. Today, Oscar continues to provide comfort to both patients and emotionally distraught families in Steere House’s Safe Haven Advanced Care unit. Dosa’s book also provides a physician’s insight into the lives of patients struggling with dementia. Readers searching for a book filled with humorous cat stories need look no further. Bob Tarte writes about his experiences living with six cats in his book Kitty Cornered: How Frannie and Five Other Incorrigible Cats Seized Control of our House and Made it their Home. Tarte was raised to believe cats were untrustworthy, devious creatures. He reveals his transformation into a cat person with stories about how each cat joined his household. Tarte shows readers that animals have a
great deal to teach people about the world and themselves. There are many more entertaining and educational books available about cats and other pets. Visit your local library to ask staff for other titles about the
fascinating relationships between humans and animals. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Lori Nick works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

Tri-City charity taking ugly sweaters across Canada By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A non-profit group that started in the Tri-Cities and helps grant the wishes of terminally ill children will see its fundraiser go nationwide this year. Jordan Birch, cofounder of Now That’s Ugly Society, said his organization has “empowered”The Children’s Wish Foundation to launch its Ugly Sweater Day campaign across Canada. Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, Ugly Sweater Day takes place on the third Friday in December; this year’s
event is on Dec. 21. “We’re really stoked that it will happen across Canada,” Birch said. “It means a lot more children with life-threatening illnesses will be able to have their wish come true.” The Port Moody resident said the society will continue to spread its Ugly Sweater Run series — which last year saw an event at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park — as well as host its Original Ugly Christmas Sweater Party at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver; the latter fundraiser is now in its 13th year.
Last year, the society collected $20,000 for The Children’s Wish Foundation, which will pay for two wishes. And one of the two kids awarded a wish was a Coquitlam girl who flew with her family to the Disney resort in Hawaii. Th i s ye a r, B i rc h said the target is set at $100,000, which would allow the foundation to grant 10 wishes to sick kids. Birch said support from the mayors of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Vancouver has enabled the society to seek
proclamations from other mayors across Canada for Ugly Sweater Day. “It’s a movement that started small and is now creating smiles everywhere,”Birch said. The society picked the The Children’s Wish Foundation in 2012 as its signature charity in honour of a young Coquitlam resident who was battling cancer. Through donations, it sent the local girl and her family to Disneyland; she died a short time afterward. • To register your team or learn more about the cause, visit uglysweaterday.com.

CELEBRATE FATHER’S DAY!
Wishing All Dads...
Happy Father’s Day
S U N D AY, J U N E 1 5
How to make Father’s Day more enjoyable for Dad Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a special day and award him with gifts for being a role model, provider and confidante. Father’s Day activities should be centered around Dad’s interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honor Dad or another special man in your life. Sports Sunday: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favorite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch together. Otherwise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it at the ballpark. Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favorite foods and a
cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet. Adventure seeker: If yours is a father who enjoys living on the edge, a Father’s Day activity built around action and adventure should be a winner. Take Dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, or race car driving. Any of these activities is bound to get Dad’s adrenaline pumping.
Saturday before Father’s Day and let Dad be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbecue, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function. Plan a Father’s Day celebration with your dad in mind. Cater to his favorite activities and opt for entertainment that he will enjoy.

R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending. Impromptu party: Some dads like to be the center of attention. A Father’s Day party thrown in his honor, complete with friends and family, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting others’ Father’s Day plans, host the gathering on the
Father’s Day may be best spent taking in a sporting event, especially if Dad is a big sports fan.

FATHER’S DAY! S U N D AY, J U N E 1 5
Gather around the grill this Father’s Day of water and seal tightly. Cook for 2 to 21/2 hours on low (300*F) with the lid closed. Check the thermometer on the front of the grill lid frequently and adjust the cooking temperature accordingly. This may require turning one or two burners off and cooking indirectly. To prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and set aside until the ribs are ready to remove from the foil. Gently heat the sauce on the side burner for 10 to 15 minutes before using. Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place on grids. Baste generously with sauce, and grill for 10 minutes per side, leaving the lid open, turning several times, and basting with sauce after each turn. Heat remaining sauce to a boil and then allow it to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve on the side as a dipping sauce.

PHOTOS OF PIETRZAK AND PATRICH SUBMITTED/PHOTO OF WENG BY ANNE HUANG
From left to right: Gabe Pietrzak, Nancy Weng and Violet Patrich are high school graduates from Archbishop Carney regional high school, Pinetree and Dr. Charles Best secondaries.
Arts grads (2): Where are they now? By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
For the past three years, The Tri-City News has talked to more than a dozen recent high school graduates about their dreams of making it big in the arts. The interviews formed part of a series called Bright Young Things and highlighted the top creative students just as they were to leave for their post-secondary education. Last month, The News caught up with six of the local grads featured to see how they are faring. Here are our final three:
GABE PIETRZAK (CARNEY)
Two years ago, Gabe Pietrzak had what seemed to be a double life. He had a non-traditional appearance for someone at Tri-Cities’ only Catholic high school, with stretched piercings in both ear lobes, a tattoo on his arm and a ring below his lip. As the lead guitarist, co-songwriter and manager for a pop/rock band, Pietrzak said his tough look was for show. But he had a softer side, too. He told The News liked all music genres — including classical and jazz — and planned to pursue a four-year music diploma at Vancouver Community College to become a music teacher for high school kids. His vision then remains the same today. Now a guitar teacher and regular college band performer, Pietrzak has ended VCC’s jazz/contemporary guitar diploma program — clinching this and last year’s CHQM and music scholarships for outstanding achievements — and, come September, he’ll be in the VCC bachelor of applied music program.
Teaching and playing music are his greatest gifts and he advises future SD43 grads to stay true to themselves. “Pursue your dreams and be persistent in achieving them. Don’t give up and never lose hope. Keep trying and learn from your mistakes or disappointments. Take every challenge and make it a learning experience. This will make you stronger and successful.”
NANCY WENG (PINETREE)
Nancy Weng had a sad story to tell when she sat down with The News in the summer of 2011. The Taiwan native talked about her passion for dance and her struggle to make it thus far. As a child, she quit dance twice after being rejected by her middle and high school dance programs. And so, at the age of 17, she immigrated with her family to Canada with one goal in mind: to succeed in dance. It wasn’t an easy road here, either. She enrolled at Pinetree secondary half way through the year; language barriers were also difficult to overcome. However, with the encouragement from teachers Nicole Roberge and Natalee Fera, Weng soon found her wings. She excelled in the school’s fine arts courses and was asked to choreograph numbers. With boosted confidence, she eventually moved into the regular English classes, too, rather than ESL. Then, the new grad said she had hoped to become a professional choreographer. And after two years in which “I was lost and almost gave up,” Weng reapplied and got into every school she wanted.
HELP WANTED
Do you know of a 2014 high school graduate who plans a career in the arts and would like to be featured in this summer’s BrightYoung Things series? Submit nominations to jwarren@tricitynews.com by July 15 and include their contact info.
Now, Weng is in the contemporary dance program at Montreal’s Concordia University. “I am appreciative of every moment that I have been through in my life,”Weng said, adding,“It has been 18 years that I have spent time with dance — almost my whole life. I wouldn’t be me without it. I guess the only moment could truly make me feel free and alive is on stage when dance and I become one.” For the class of 2014, Weng wants to make this clear: Nothing is impossible. “Don’t set a limit to yourself. When you have a goal, just follow the direction but let go of the target at the same time. This is a way to find joy of the path. Have faith that luck is created by your own attitude. “Keep a positive attitude because it will create the fate that is closest to your dream.”
VIOLET PATRICH (BEST)
In July 2012, visual artist Violet Patrich voiced her displeasure with SFU. She got accepted into its contemporary arts program but didn’t have high enough grades to get into the Burnaby institution itself. And so, half-heartedly, she registered in Douglas College’s psychology and women’s

studies, hoping to work on her craft on the side. At the time of the interview, Patrich was being praised for her original art, displaying strong images at Emerging Talent XV (the annual SD43 art show at Evergreen Cultural Centre) as well as gaining accolades for her recycled fashion statements (she created a dress with 2,700 bus fare passes). Her dream was to have a career at Vogue as a photographer. As it turned out, Patrich finished her first year at Douglas “but I always knew art was my passion,” she said, “so I applied to Emily Carr University.” Her first year at the art school in Vancouver was “absolutely awesome,” she said, adding she doesn’t regret her undergrad year at Douglas. “I got a taste of the college experience and I got some credits out of the way so I could focus on my other classes,”Patrich said. Now, Patrich is part of a vibrant arts scene and around fellow creative thinkers and doers, which has helped to shape her future. She not only wants to graduate but also to savour every moment of college life, she said. And after graduation? Vogue, she said, is still in the cards “but, honestly, if I could get any kind of job in my field, I’d be happy.” For this year’s SD43 grad class, Patrich has these nuggets of advice: “Sometimes it seems as though you have to pick what career you want before you graduate high school but you don’t. “Don’t be afraid to take time to explore and find what interests you because you may not find it in high school.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Heritage reels in awards Students at Port Moody’s Heritage Woods secondary captured four out of nine awards for high schools at an international film festival last month. Lawrence Kassen, founder and director of the Rod Serling Video Festival, said the judges were “very impressed”with Heritage Woods’ video submissions. “One could see that a great deal of work and thought went into each one,” he told The Tri-City News last week, adding, “It was also fortunate that their travel plans allowed them to attend our screening and awards ceremony. It was a pleasure meeting the students and their very talented faculty.” Grade 11 student Jensen Tung won the top accolade of Best of Show for Catch The Girl, a work that was presented this past winter at the Evergreen Cultural Centre as part of its Emerging Talent Film Festival; the short, about two teens talking about relationships, has also been shown at various student film events in B.C. Jensen captured the four-minute film on his
school’s Canon Rebel T3i camera for his Film and Media class, taught by Mike Schoenhals. Jensen was not able to go to the gala in New York State to see his video screened; however, his classmate Christopher Spooner, also Grade 11, was on hand to pick up the Best Cinematography prize for his project Sticks and Stones, which was also shot on a Canon T3i. Heritage Woods also scooped Best Comedy (Mark and Tim’s King-fun Punchtacular by Erik and Jerod Spence) and Best Documentary (Auschwitz by Shay Alford). Named after Rod Serling — the actor who hosted of the television series The Twilight Zone — the festival is sponsored in part by the Binghamton city school district and WSKG Public Television. • To view Catch The Girl and other shorts by Jensen Tung, go toYouTube.com/S37TV. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Provincial prizes for CDMF reps A number of representatives from the Coquitlam District Music Festival have come home with awards from last week’s provincials in Penticton. Port Moody’s Athena Deng took the runnerup title in the junior B piano category while Steven Gong, a New Westminster resident, placed first in the senior piano field and Erik Xi Xin Liang of Vancouver was named the runner-up in the national piano event; Liang also clinched a scholarship for the best performance. PoMo triple threat Tiana Jung also won a runner-up accolade for senior musical theatre while Roan Shankaruk of Vancouver earned the top spot for national musical theatre as well as national vocal variety. In the junior vocal variety, Lydia Querengesser of Pitt Meadows received an honourable mention while Allison Keogh of Vancouver took the runner-up position for junior speech arts. Timothy Sayson of Richmond won the intermediate
Shakespeare category and was named runner-up for intermediate speech arts.

A Port Moody dancer studying with the San Francisco Ballet School has been promoted for the 2015 repertory season. Last week, the institution announced trainee Benjamin Freemantle had won a spot as a new apprentice, meaning he will join the company class and perform corps de ballet roles. Last weekend, Freemantle was in the TriCities to perform a surprise solo in the Friday year-end show for the Caulfield School of Dance, of which he is an alumnus. In last year’s PNE Star Showdown finale (at left), Freemantle placed second in the provincial talent competition.

Students’ turn at PdA If ever there were a poster girl for Place des Arts, Hristina Hristozova would be it. A stay-at-home mom who moved from her native Bulgaria to Coquitlam four years ago, Hristozova got her kids involved in the Maillardville facility a few years back. But, last September, when they entered kindergarten and Grade 1, Hristozova finally had some time of her own and felt the need to get back to her creative roots. With the encouragement of her family, she signed up in January for painting and drawing sessions with Sue Cowan and Laurie Thompson and had a burst of confidence when she saw the results. “They are really very, very good teachers. They covered all the basics,”she said. A self-taught acrylics artist, Hristozova never had any formal training; however, with Cowan and Thompson as her guides, “they helped me to understand what I was doing.” There are similar stories from Place des Arts students. And tomorrow, the current visual arts learners will open a new show in the Atrium, titled Art Feats, to demonstrate what they’ve been taught over the past year in drawing, painting, fibre arts, pottery and ceramic sculpture. As well, students in the Art Enhancement Workshop — under the tutelage of Don Portelance, a retired art teacher from Centennial secondary who helped to found Place des Arts — will have a concurrent display in the Leonore

Babineau top Canadian in Spain Belcarra resident finished fourth at world duathlon championship By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News
Belcarra native Lauren Babineau curses as she traverses the area’s hilly terrain by foot and bike. “Because it’s tough,” laughed the 25-year-old accomplished triathlete a couple weeks ago, while training for the 2014 ITU World Duathlon Championships. Held in Pontevedra, Spain, from May 30 to June 1, Babineau earned a coveted berth in the gruelling endurance event — 2,500 athletes worldwide are accepted — after claiming the B.C. Provincial Duathlon Championship in Victoria last summer. That was followed up with first-place finishes at duathlon events in Vancouver and Penticton this past spring, earning Babineau her second consecutive provincial duathlon crown. Now she can add another title to her race resume: top-finishing Canadian in her age category at the ITU World Duathlon competition. Babineau earned an overall time of 2:22:29 in

Lauren Babineau finished fourth at the 2014 ITU World Duathlon Championship in Spain last week. The 25-year-old said the event was a “pre-race” leading up to the 2014 World Triathlon Championships, which will be held in Edmonton at the end of the summer. the race — which combines 15 kilometres of running with 40 kilometres of biking — and placed forth in her division.
During a practice ride ahead of the event, Babineau found herself sidelined with a brokendown bike. That is, until some fellow compatri-
ots came to the rescue. Afterwards, she tweeted: “Flat tire on today’s ride. 12 Canadians offered help. #bestcountryever #iamcanadian #proudly
#Canadian.” Back at home, Babineau tests her mettle trekking through the Belcarra trails, which is how she prefers to train.
“It keeps your mind busy as opposed to being on the road,” says Babineau. “I like the variety of going up and down [on the trails], and
the twists and turns. Because when I go onto the flat course, I can just fly.” The longtime soccer player is naturally a strong runner, but concedes the technical nature of cycling took some getting used to. She first tried her hand at duathlon using a ratty old bike, while pedalling her way through a typical Vancouver downpour. That’s when she knew she was hooked. But Babineau also credits her passion for the sport from growing up in an active family. “Vacations were whitewater rafting or skiing,” recalls Babineau. Already proven as a dominant duathlete, Babineau’s focus is on triathlons and she treats duathlons, including last week’s event in Spain, as a stepping stone to larger scale competition. She considers it as a “pre-race” leading up to the 2014 World Triathlon Championships, which will be held in Edmonton at the end of the summer. The recent Douglas College business grad plans to combine her career with her athletic pursuits. For the time being, Babineau maintains a job as a lifeguard at Coquitlam’s City Centre Aquatic Complex. sports@tricitynews.com

Tr e v o r Wi n g r o v e would have been proud. Twenty-four teams from across B.C. and Alberta descended on the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre last Thursday to Sunday for the Trevor Wingrove Memorial Tournament, hosted by the Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse Association. In the peewee division (ages 11 and 12) gold medal game, the home team Coquitlam Adanacs claimed the crown, after squeaking by the Juan de Fuca Whalers 4-3. Richard Fitzgerald led the A’s in scoring with three goals, while teammate Connor Dauncey banged in the winning goal. In the bantam division (ages 13 and 14) final, the red-hot Poco Saints, who went 5-0 during the tournament, prevailed 8-6 over the Ridge Meadows Burrards. The Saints got a four-goal effort from Nico Pace, a pair from Mitch Bye and singles from Austin Wahl and Evan Wray. In midget division (ages 15 and 16) action, the Maple Ridge Burrards and Coquitlam Adanacs battled neckand-neck until the very end, when the Burrards broke away with three goals in the final four
