Unknowns cloud path to transit vote Premier’s response to Metro Van mayors’ major transit plan is key By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Large questions remain unanswered on what happens next with Metro Vancouver mayors’ request for more transit funding. Neither referendum question nor the timing have been settled — and that assumes the province agrees to the overall concept and new funding sources.

Tri-Cities’ MLAs talk as teacher strike is in full swing By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

An exchange of proposals between the BC Teachers’ Federation and government negotiators on the weekend dissolved in acrimony Monday, with a full-scale strike in public schools now underway. Negotiators for the BCTF and the BC Public S c h o o l E m p l oye r s ’ Association met until midnight Sunday as the union moved from rotating strikes to a full walkout with a “study session” on Monday. The two sides contradicted each other on the substance of the wage offers and each said the next move is up to the other if a deal is to be reached. BCTF president Jim Iker said Monday a complete strike was “imminent” after teachers endorsed the move last week and Tri-City teachers were on the picket line Tuesday morning. see BCPSEA, page A7

In his report “Into the Future, the Coquitlam Health Campus” that was released this week, Dr. Higenbottam wrote the series of deinstitutionalization programs, starting in the 1980s, saw the hospital downsized and led to its closure in 2012.

“Unfortunately, this has resulted in a loss of Riverview’s specialized treatment capability for the group of ‘traditional’ persons with serious mental illness requiring specialized, longer-term treatment which exceeds the capabilities of community hospitals and services,”he stated. see REPORT, page A14

OCCUPY THE TRENCH: Port Moody man launches unique campaign to mark anniversary

They’ll dig into history to honour vets on 100th anniversary of WWI By Diane Strandberg

Occupy the Trench

The Tri-CiTy News

here will be no gunfire. And the promise of a warm bed and a hot meal await at the end of it all. But friends Cary Price and Guy Black hope that by living in a trench dug at the Port Moody Station Museum for three days and two nights, they’ll experience some of what it’s like to be a First World War soldier. But most of all, as Canada marks the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI, they hope others will be reminded of the sacrifice of the country’s veterans who have fought in all international conflicts. “I’m proud to be a Canadian and this is as close as I can get to the understanding of what it was like,”explained Price, who with Port Moody resident and event organizer Black will don uniforms and eat and sleep and work like WWI soldiers for three days and two nights between June 29 and July 1 — Canada Day. Their event is called Occupy the Trench and it’s Black’s idea for honouring a Port Moody citizen who was a member of the 4th Field Company, Divisional Engineers, before he was killed in Belgium in 1916 during the Battle of the Somme. WWI officially started July 28, 1914, so it’s fitting they pay homage now. Black has spent months negotiating with the city of PoMo for a plaque to remember the former city engineer. The plaque will eventually be installed at the Port Moody Arts Centre, the old city hall, where McKnight worked prior to leaving Port Moody in 1914 to enlist with the Canadian Engineers in North Vancouver. In honour of McKnight, Black and Price are prepared to live like soldiers, without any

WHAT’S HAPPENING

• Wednesday, June 25 to Friday, June 28: Volunteers will dig a trench and fill sandbags on the grounds of the Port Moody Station Museum (at Rocky Point Park) to simulate the living and working conditions of Canadian soldiers who fought in WWI (the Great War that centred in Europe and began on July 28, 1914 and lasted until Nov. 11, 1918). • Sunday, June 29 to Tuesday, July 1: Cary Price and Guy Black will live in the trench, eating food soldiers would have eaten, patrolling and sleeping like soldiers without the benefit of tarps or other cover in case it rains. • July 1 — Canada Day: From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a program called Honouring Veterans returns to the Port Moody Station Museum, featuring displays, vehicles and bands. From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., a plaque will be unveiled and there will be a ceremony honouring Port Moody engineer Augustus W. McKnight, who died in WWI. Among the dignitaries will be members of McKnight’s family from Kamloops as well as the honorary consul general of Belgium and the deputy consul general of Germany. Two former enemies that are now allies, they will bring a message of peace and remembrance on the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI. Members of the Belgium Canadian Association of B.C. are also expected to attend.

WHO’S AUGUSTUS MCKNIGHT?

Diane StranDberg/the tri-City newS

Guy Black, Cary Price and Jim Millar prepare to dig a trench for a living history project at the Port Moody Station Museum called Occupy the Trench, to teach people about the First World War on the 100th anniversary of the start of the Great War.

IN QUOTES

“It’s not to glorify war. It’s not a video game, it’s living history.” Guy Black, a resident of Port Moody who has worked to honour Canada’s war veterans conveniences or tarps — even if it rains. They’ll also dig the trench and fill sandbags to build their“shelter.”For food, they’ll eat plain meals cooked over a charcoal brazier made of bricks, and for entertainment they’ll play cards or tell jokes. They will also take turns doing patrol duty. “It’s a real life lesson of what happened 100 years ago,” Black said of the simulation experience.“It’s not to glorify

war. It’s not a video game, it’s living history.” Price, who has a jovial sense of humour, promises to keep things light. “If you want to keep it authentic, you need a rum ration,”he joked, as he wondered why he volunteered for such a potentially damp and hunger-filled experience. But Price, who is interested in military history, is a member of a military vehicle club and owns a Canadian-made Korean

war ambulance as well as a replica wool WWI uniform — complete with actual WWI military buttons, patches and a mesh bag for ammunition, which alone weighs 14 lb. — said it’s a task he must do. A first aid attendant, Price said he is the right guy for the job in case the two suffer any mishaps during their“sojourn”in the trenches. As for Black, the commemoration of the First World War and the sacrifice of McKnight and others is part of his ongoing efforts to recognize Canadian war veterans. Last year, he organized a 24-hour walk from Coquitlam to Burnaby via Mt. Seymour to

recognize Korean War veterans. They will be supported by Jim Millar, the Port Moody Station Museum curator, who will help them build their trench and provide other help. All three men have ancestors who fought in WWI but they say they never heard much about the experience from their relatives. And now, said Price, “there’s no veterans around to tell us.” If through their shared experience they can tell the vets’ story to younger generations of Canadians, they feel they will have helped the country understand the importance of peace.

Augustus Wilberforce McKnight was an active citizen of Port Moody prior to his death in Belgium on Aug. 11, 1916. He was born in Owen Sound, Ont. on Aug. 1, 1888 and, after graduating in 1910 as a military engineer from the Royal Military College in Kingston, he travelled west to help with construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. Eventually, he moved to Port Moody, became the city’s engineer and was involved with the civilian rifle association team, the tennis club, and was a local Scout master, according to research by Guy Black. When the First World War began, McKnight was commissioned with the rank of lieutenant in North Vancouver’s 6th Field Company Canadian Engineers. He was sent overseas with the 2nd Overseas Contingent, ending up in France and Flanders with 4th Field Company, Divisional Engineers. Lieutenant Augustus Wilberforce McKnight was buried at Reninghelst New Military Cemetery in Belgium.

YOU CAN GET INVOLVED

If you would like to participate in Occupy the Trench, you can show up and ask questions, help to fill sandbags or just visit the museum and find out more about Canadian and Port Moody history. Port Moody Station Museum is located at 2734 Murray St., Port Moody, next to the Moody Street overpass and Rocky Point Park.

session stems from ‘shop local’ talks at council By Janis Warren THe Tri-CiTY News

The city of Coquitlam will host a workshop in September with the Tri-Cities’ Chamber of Commerce to talk about how local businesses can win city contracts. David Munro, the city’s manager of economic development, said the workshop will follow the same format as the BC Assessment and taxation session hosted by the city in January. At the event this fall, Tri-City business owners will learn about local procurement opportunities in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, and hear from successful suppliers as well as the cities’ finance teams. Munro suggested the workshop concept during Monday’s councilin-committee meeting, when Coun. Craig Hodge asked council to revisit a notice of motion raised earlier this month by Coun. Bonita Zarrillo. Her motion — which called for city staff to

Visit tricitieschamber.com for more information. look at adding language to the procurement policy that would favour local businesses when contracts were roughly equal — failed but it stirred debated in the business community. Hodge said Zarrillo’s motion caught “a lot of people by surprise.” “There was a lack of understanding of what we are trying to do and what we could do,” he said during a heated debate that was punctuated with interruptions and accusations and, in the end, dissolved with Coun. Brent Asmundson calling for decorum. Asmundson said the city has awarded $100 million in contracts to Coquitlam businesses over the last three years while Coun. Mae Reid said a so-called “buy local”clause has surfaced many times during her long tenure on council. The city’s policy to in-

vest in “best value” works well, she argued. For her part, Zarrillo said she’s in favour of a business workshop but still wants a “buy local” clause added in Coquitlam — similar to what’s in Port Moody, Victoria and Kitimat’s policies. She also stressed she doesn’t want her proposal to get “buried in bureaucracy.” M e a n w h i l e , Po r t Coquitlam is undertaking a review of its purchasing policy, services and operations as part of its Continuous Improvement Assessment process. Its aim is “to seek opportunities for greater efficiency and effectiveness” by looking at best practices, said communications manager Pardeep Purewal, noting a draft report will go the city’s finance and intergovernmental committee at the end of the summer. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Port Moody residents will have an opportunity to grill officials and experts about the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project at a town hall meeting slated for next Wednesday. The June 25 meeting, set for between 7 and 10 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre Galleria, comes as the city has submitted its first round of questions to the National Energy Board on the project and is seeking input for more inquiries. The proposed project would expand the existing 1,150 km Trans Mountain pipeline system between Edmonton and Burnaby, tripling the capacity of the pipeline system from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels. And although the pipeline would bypass Port Moody, the city shares a harbour with the Westridge Marine Terminal, which will be expanded to accommodate 34 oil tankers a month, up from about five, currently. Last week, councillors agreed to spend $3,300 for a professional moderator, communications and event staffing, and the city has posted a detailed list of questions about the project and a registration form at www.portmoody.ca under the listing on its calendar. Among its concerns are potential environmental and socio-economic effects of marine shipping activities, contingency planning for spills and safety and security during construction, as well as third-party damage prevention. Speakers at the event will include: Michael Davies, director of marine development for Kinder Morgan; Kevin Obermeyer, president and CEO of Pacific Pilotage Authority; Rod MacVicar, a local ecologist; and Scott Wright, director of response readiness, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

BCPSEA, BCTF still at odds over wages and benefits continued from front page Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday he is waiting for a response from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province’s 60 school districts. BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron said Monday he still does not have a full position from the BCTF that clarifies the status of the union’s “truckload of benefit proposals.” Cameron said the union’s latest wage offer is

a reduction from its previous position but when increased benefit costs are factored in, it is still more than twice as much compensation as other public sector union settlements. BCPSEA posted a comparison of the two wage offers Monday; it describes the BCTF proposal as a $5,000 signing bonus followed by increases of 3.5% in the first year and 1.5% in each of the next three years, for a total raise of 8%. BCPSEA’s latest offer includes a $1,200 signing

bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year and a series of wage increases up to May 2019 that includes “economic stability dividend” amounts depending on B.C.’s economic performance. The Labour Relations Board has extended its essential services order to include provincial final exams and marks for graduating students, so they can apply for postsecondary studies.

TRI-CITIES MLAS

MLAs squared off on the teacher’s job action on Tuesday. Port Coquitlam NDP MLA Mike Farnworth accused the government of playing politics with the issue. “What we are continuing to see is a ‘my way or the highway’ attitude,” he said. “I would like to see an agreement reached at the negotiating table. The only way that is going to happen is if this government makes education a priority.” He pointed to a B.C.

Supreme Court order that stated the province must restore teachers’ working conditions to 2002 levels. The government is currently appealing the ruling, a move Farnworth said is a way of avoiding dealing with the issue. “The government’s record on education is not very good,” he said. “They have lost twice in court… I think they are fixated on a number while at the same time, it wants to ignore what the courts have mandated.” Port Moody-Coquitlam

BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer told The Tri-City News she was still hopeful a negotiated settlement could be achieved before the end of the school year. She said the provincial government has increased its wage offer and is waiting to hear back from the union. Reimer added that it was too soon to say whether the government would consider legislating teachers back to work. “Right now we are hopeful that we are going to get a negotiated settlement,” she said. “We are

trying to negotiate such as we have with other public sector unions.” Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Doug Horne concurred with Reimer, saying he was disappointed that the dispute had become so acrimonious. He added that once the dispute is resolved, both sides must look at making changes to the bargaining process in order to avoid future labour disruptions. tfletcher@blackpress.ca – with files from Gary McKenna, The Tri-City News

Unclear how much drivers will pay continued from front page

Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone said the province needs more time to consider the mayors’ proposals. While road pricing is proposed, it would be several years away and is undefined — officials say there are many possible permutations and it could include everything from tolling all bridges and roads at small rates to a charge on motorists’ annual insurance based on how far they drive. How much drivers might pay is unclear. An appendix to the plan gives a preliminary estimate of “a mobility pricing rate of approximately two cents per kilometre applied to all vehicular traffic in the region” to generate $250 million a year by the end of the 10-year horizon, provid-

Public transportation expansion is part of the Metro Vancouver mayors’ transportation plan. ing about half the new money needed. The rest would come from either a new regional carbon tax or reallocation of existing carbon tax revenue. Two cents per kilometre would add up to a $1.40 round trip charge to drive 35 kilometres each way from South Surrey to Coquitlam.

The idea also assumes the province will agree to reform its tolling policy, which has so far led to tolling of only some bridges, inefficiently distorting traffic patterns. The mayors’ letter to Stone says the new scheme should ensure “a seamless, balanced and fair system throughout

Metro Vancouver.” Existing bridge tolls might be replaced by the new system of paying to travel anywhere, regardless of whether a body of water is crossed. And TransLink’s gas tax would also be reduced from 17 cents to 11 cents per litre, the plan suggests.

Transit fans love plan but so does TransLink’s main foe Biz groups among those praising mayors’ vision By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Transit advocates were generally pleased with TransLink’s ambitious expansion plan unveiled Thursday but their nemesis said he was“thrilled.” Jo rd a n B a t e m a n , the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and a relentless critic of TransLink, predicted it will be easy to rally Metro Vancouver voters to defeat a new carbon tax that will be equivalent to a 5.5-centa-litre gas tax increase coupled with higher natural gas bills as well. “We’ll go to the people with that any day of the week,” he said.“Let’s take it to the people and find out if TransLink really deserves more of our money.” Asked whether — apart from the funding sources — he supports the major projects proposed in the plan, Bateman admitted he had not yet studied the details and said it was too early to say.

Jordan Bateman of the C a n a d i a n Ta x p a y e r s Federation, says the Metro mayors’ latest TransLink proposal will be easy to defeat in a referendum. Still, he questioned the need for more West Coast Express commuter rail service north of the Fraser River when the Evergreen Line will soon extend SkyTrain in that direction as far as Coquitlam. The plan would boost TransLink’s budget from $1.4 billion to $2.2 billion a year. SFU City Program director Gordon Price applauded the plan, however, and said Bateman’s determination to kill it without offering an alternative would leave “a second-rate transit system for a second-rate region.” He said opponents wrongly assume

TransLink service will be maintained under the status quo if the plan is defeated, when its declining gas tax take means service cuts would be forced, particularly as the population grows. Price credited the leadership of Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, the Metro board chair and the behind-the-scenes architect of the plan, for forging a “remarkable consensus” within just 12 weeks to meet a deadline set by the province. “He got all those cats herded and singing the same meow,”Price said. After spending $3.3 billion to build the Port Mann/Highway 1 project and a provincial decision to spend a couple billion more to replace the Massey Tunnel, Price said it’s time transit upgrades get at least as high priority as infrastructure critical to economic development and growth. Business groups, including the Surrey and Vancouver boards of trade, picked up that theme. “Our economy cannot thrive without the efficient, reliable and safe movement of goods and people,” said Vancouver

Board of Trade president Iain Black, who applauded the mayors’ “unprecedented” effort to tackle congestion. Surrey board CEO Anita Huberman called it a “responsible transportation plan” that is “near perfect” for the region. But Huberman said it’s “unfortunate” the province quickly ruled out the reallocation of existing carbon tax revenue. “I have a feeling that we have a long road ahead of us around any transportation improvements,”she said. Unionized transit workers and other groups representing students and transit users said they will press the province to authorize the referendum and then work to pass it. Eric Doherty of the group Get On Board BC said the plan addresses chronic transit shortages in the region. “Students, commuters and those who depend on public transit have been waiting for improvements for years,” Doherty said. “Now we can see progress — but only if this positive plan is actually implemented.”

Road pricing rates could also vary by time of day, to encourage more drivers to shift trips to off-peak times, putting less pressure on major routes at rush hour and improving overall system efficiency. (TransLink calls it “mobility pricing” because it intends to extend similar time-of-day pricing principles to transit fares as well.) Stone had no answer Thursday on whether the referendum — if approved by voters — will give mayors approval to implement road pricing when it’s finally fleshed out, or if residents would get another vote years later on the details. The biggest question mark is what Premier Christy Clark will say about the entire proposal — she caught the mayors and various transportation ministers off

guard in the past by suddenly blocking earlier proposals to refinance TransLink. Twice Clark made the mayors and TransLink wait for audits to ensure the transportation authority was as efficient as possible before new funding tools might be contemplated. “I’ve been disappointed the last few times,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, but added he’s hopeful now. Most mayors never wanted a referendum in the first place. That, too, was imposed by Clark, as a surprise election platform plank for the B.C. Liberals in 2013 that appeared to evolve on the fly. In the midst of the campaign, former transportation minister Mary Polak was pledging there

would be no “none of the above” options in a referendum — voters would have to choose some mechanism to refinance TransLink — only to be overruled by the premier the next day. Some mayors say they still won’t participate in the referendum no matter what happens. “I have no intention of supporting the referendum — I think it’s a bad way to make public policy,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said, but added he will work with the majority of mayors to try to deliver their approved vision. George Heyman, the NDP’s critic for TransLink, also opposes the concept of a referendum but said “it’s now time for Todd Stone to find something he can say yes to.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

Talkin’ transit T

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

hursday’s announcement from the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, outlining plans for a $7.5 billion transit and congestion relief capital plan, is ambitious, but it could be achieved. The plan is the first concrete action from mayors to actually recognize the transit shortfall in the region, particularly when it comes to suburb-to-suburb commuting. Overall, the plan calls for a 25% increase in bus service and 400 new buses. Also proposed is a B-Line bus from Langley City to Coquitlam Centre, which will be on the new Evergreen Line SkyTrain extension. This will make it easier for commuters who don’t travel to downtown Vancouver to use transit. This has been a key missing ingredient. The big challenge with this plan is how to get voters to agree with the mayors’ ideas of how to pay for it. They propose tapping into the provincial carbon tax, but that is a non-starter. Their backup plan is to add a new regional carbon tax of about 5.5 cents per litre to the cost of gas. At the same time, there would be no reductions in Port Mann or Golden Ears bridge tolls. In fact, they want to add a toll on a new Pattullo Bridge. They are prepared to reduce the TransLink gas tax to 11 cents per litre from 17 cents, but only after road pricing has been added — which is likely at least eight years away. So the price of gas would rise by 5.5 cents per litre soon, and (perhaps) be cut by six cents at some distant point, when that revenue is replaced by road pricing. When TransLink boosted gas taxes by two cents to 17 cents per litre, to pay for the Evergreen Line, the effect was instant and dramatic. People were leaving in large numbers to buy gas in either Abbotsford or the U.S., and those going to the U.S. were buying much more than gas. Another 5.5 cent per litre tax will hurt, and likely hurt many local businesses. This is particularly true when gas is already $1.52 per litre. The mayors should take a good hard look at the carbon tax idea, and perhaps come up with some type of road pricing much sooner. For example, how about people who drive more paying a small surcharge on their car insurance? The proposed carbon tax may be enough to lead voters to reject this plan, when it goes to referendum. – The Langley Times (Black Press)

Ontario election lessons for British Columbia BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA iberal is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics. Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation. In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion. In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit. This is in a have-not province with an oper-

ating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa. You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fired power plants before the 2011 election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung. The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan. B.C. has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who

don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary. Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments. The Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate. Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario. Wynne tabled her spending-spree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election. Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their

share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government and stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time and resigned the leadership on election night. B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version. For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia. If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Voters easily ignored once election over The Editor, What a difference a year makes: Last spring, Linda Reimer was asking for our votes. She told us she was interested in our views and that she would represent us inVictoria. A year later, after we entrusted Ms. Reimer with the chance to serve us as our representative in Victoria, she doesn’t have time to respond to our concerns. I am a teacher. I am concerned with the government’s role in the stalemate over our contract. Although the BC Liberals tell us they are willing to bargain, their response to every step is to run to the Labour Relations Board to force teachers out of their classrooms, to dock our pay even though we have

continued to teach and fulfill our duties and to have exam invigilation and report cards declared “essential services.” I wrote to MLA Reimer to voice my concerns. Her office sent me a response that said she was too busy to respond to my email at that time. I can’t imagine what Ms. Reimer is doing. The legislature is not sitting and I haven’t heard of any other activities in which she is involved. It is appalling that we elect these people after being courted in a campaign and then are so easily ignored once we are paying their salaries. Jean Kosar, Port Moody

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

City of Coquitlam closes dock at Maquabeak due to damage Only small boats will be able to launch from Coquitlam’s Maquabeak Park after the city closed the dock this week for safety reasons. A city inspector shut down the 35-year-old wooden structure after noticing extensive damage during a routine

check-up. Parks manager Kathleen Reinheimer said the floats under two sections appear to have broken away, causing them to sink. It’s believed they were damaged by river debris, “including logs that we’ve routinely had to remove when they become stuck

under the dock,”she said. The city is now looking at options to repair or replace the dock; in the meantime, it remains sealed off and owners of bigger boats are asked to launch elsewhere, Reinheimer said. Maquabeak Park is heavily used by recre-

ational boaters as it’s the only public boat launch on this side of the Fraser and Pitt rivers. Metro Vancouver is currently in the park to build a water main tunnel to cross the Fraser River; that work is expected to finish late next year.

ALL PERSONS who deem themselves affected shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard by written submission beforehand or in person at the Regular Council Meeting. Dated at Anmore, BC this 9th day of June, 2014 Christine Milloy Manager of Corporate Services

IN QUOTES

The BC NDP is calling on the provincial government to ban flavoured tobacco products. “There’s absolutely no reason to wait for the federal government to act. It’s a very real problem and the province needs to act now,” said NDP Health Critic and New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy, speaking at a press conference last week. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, the introduction of fruit and candy-flavoured cigarillos has led to a significant increase in youth using tobacco products. Alberta has banned the products although it has yet to be implemented. Legislation to ban them has also been introduced in Manitoba and Ontario. “Other provinces have moved on this and B.C. should too,”Darcy said. She added that 30,000 young people start smoking every year in B.C. While the number of young smokers has dropped dramatically in recent decades, it has remained steady at 14.5% over the last few years, she said. One reason, she argues, is because of flavoured tobacco products.

tion of the industry. “Federal legislation would ensure a consistent cross-Canada ban on the product, rather than a patchwork of standards across the country, where efforts, testing and enforcement would be duplicated and more expensive,” said Lake. “I am pleased that there will be a consistent level of protection developed for youth across Canada — regardless of where they live.”

BlaCk Press

Terry Lake said he met federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose last week, and they discussed their common concern about flavoured tobacco. “This meeting went very well,” Lake said. “And we both expressed our commitment to work together to protect children from the dangers of sweet tobacco smoke Canada-wide.” Lake said Health Canada has the expertise to administer the regula-

S h e cited a Canadian Cancer Society survey showing that Darcy 53% of the province’s youth who smoked in the last 30 days used flavoured tobacco products. “There is an aggressive marketing strategy underway to target youth with these products,” said Darcy. Some of the smaller products have none of the blatant warnings required on cigarette cases because they are sold individually. “They’re equally as toxic because they’re sold singlehandedly,”said Darcy. “It’s very easy to have one with you.” One package Darcy produced was Juicy Jay’s Peaches and Cream rolling papers. It looked like a gum pack and said it was to be used for legal smoking herbs and not for tobacco use. Darcy is not buying the manufacturer’s statement. She believes its sole purpose is to help the user disguise tobacco. Deception of parents and authority is a big motivation for youth to purchase the products, she added. Individual cigarettes or cigarillos are made to look like eyeliner or a sharpie. They also smell nicer than cigarettes and go down easier. In a statement to Black Press, Health Minister

Coquitlam wants vote on Report is city stance incinerator for Metro Van Mental Health and Addiction programs for SAMI programs to a suitable building on Riverview such as Centre Lawn; • opening specialized psychiatric treatment programs in the Centre Lawn building to service those who require longer-term treatment; • developing an acute care hospital in the Valleyview 300 building; • forming long-term residential and rehabilitation services in proximity to the current residential programs in the existing Lodge and Cottage buildings; • creating an education and training centre for mental health, addictions, rehabilitation and recovery in the Henry Esson Young administration building; • establishing a health and wellness business park; • dedicating the southwest end of the site for public park use;

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam voters won’t see a referendum question about Metro Vancouver’s planned incinerator on the civic ballot when they go the polls in November. But when the TransLink funding referendum eventually takes place, voters across the region may be asked for their view on the controversial topic. That’s the hope of Coquitlam city council, which passed a motion this week to have the issue tied to the TransLink referendum. The motion came late Monday as council sought to find ways for the public to have a voice on Metro’s $450-million incinerator proposal. Coun. Neal Nicholson, a member of Metro’s zero waste committee, said he has heard plenty from angry residents as well as frustrated Metro directors who are concerned about the agency’s plan to burn trash in a new facility. Nicholson — along with councillors Lou Sekora, Chris Wilson

COUN. NEAL NICHOLSON and Bonita Zarrillo — called on council to stage a non-binding vote in the Nov. 15 municipal election “to force Metro to explain” the reasoning for the incinerator and its economic and environmental impacts. Zarrillo said such a referendum would also increase voter turnout, which is traditionally around 20% in Coquitlam. Still, Coun. Terry O’Neill said Coquitlam council has already taken a stand against the incinerator. “We have heard from the public on this issue,” he said, adding a Yes vote would be unlikely if the question were on the ballot. Coun. Craig Hodge said a number of groups, including the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, the BC Chamber of

Commerce and the Vancouver and Surrey boards of trade, are opposed to the incinerator plan. “I believe it’s an important issue but it’s an issue that reaches beyond our borders,” H o d g e s a i d wh i l e s u c c e s s f u l l y m ov ing an amendment to Nicholson’s motion that would see a vote linked to the TransLink funding referendum. Reached by phone yesterday (Tuesday) in England, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who chairs the Metro board, told The Tri-City News he’s dismayed with Coquitlam council’s request for a regional vote. “It makes no sense whatsoever.... Metro Vancouver is going through a clearly defined process,” he said, noting a request for proposals is now out. Moore said as Metro moves forward with its incinerator plan, a more detailed business case will be unveiled when a location and technology are chosen. Moore said Metro has many massive projects on the go (last week, it showed its new ultraviolet light disinfection

“At the same time, a group of Severely Addicted Mentally Ill (SAMI) individuals has emerged who have complex treatment needs and who are now placing great pressure on hospital emergency departments and psychiatric units as well as police and social services.” In 2008 and last year, the Union of BC Municipalities called on the provincial government to reopen Riverview but at the organization’s 2013 convention, Premier Christy Clark said that wouldn’t happen. With BC Housing now tasked by the province to conduct a visioning exercise for Riverview this year, Coquitlam council believes Higenbottam’s report will add weight. It is submitting his report — as its official stance on Riverview’s future — to BC Housing, health authorities and Shared Services BC, the government agency that currently controls the site. Specifically, in developing a health campus, Higenbottam recommends a phased approach that includes:

facility in the Coquitlam watershed, which cost $100 million) and asked, “Does Coquitlam council plan to have a referendum on every one of these, too?” And he noted the mayors’ council on TransLink, of which Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is a member, recently said the TransLink funding referendum isn’t a good idea. Like last week, as reported in The Tri-City News, Moore questioned Nicholson’s motives as he said the councillor hasn’t been vocal at the zero waste committee, which met as recently as last Thursday (at Monday’s council meeting, Nicholson clarified he has voted against the incinerator business plan at Metro). Meanwhile, also at Monday’s council meeting, Hodge moved a notice of motion — to be debated at the June 23 council meeting — for the proposed garbage incinerator plan to be delayed for two years until the business case is proven and to allow for public consultation.

PHASE 2

• developing additional long-term residential and rehab units; • making a recreational facility in the Pennington Hall area;

PHASE 3

PHASE 1

• developing a new, purpose-built clinical centre in the North Lawn

• relocating the Burnaby Centre for

area to relocate the programs from Centre Lawn as well as the acute care hospital from the Valleyview 300 building. Higenbottam is expected to be at tomorrow’s Riverview Lands Advisory Committee to talk about his report in depth. In a statement to The Tri-City News yesterday, BC Housing CEO Shayne Ramsay said the province is halfway through its public consultation process “to establish a shared vision” for Riverview. “We made a commitment to listen to all those with interest in the Riverview lands,” Ramsay stated. “We welcome the city’s proposal and will consider it along with other feedback received during the consultation.” Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, the NDP’s finance critic, said, “Riverview needs to stay in public ownership. It needs to be a health centre for excellence and there’s an opportunity to focus on the needs of the mentally ill here.”

From prawns to bread, butter makes it better MARKET FRESH Karen Curtis

BUTTERS

Local berries are now available

Get down to the farmers market Farmers market season is in full swing in the Tri-Cities. Fresh fruit and veggies are available at the Poirier Street Farmers Market, located at the Dogwood Pavilion between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. every sunday between now and Oct. 26. Port Coquitlam also holds a weekly market at Leigh Square every Thursday between 3 and 7 p.m. between now and Sept. 15. Fresh produce, often picked that morning, is available at both markets alongw ith seafood, jams, jellies, eggs, fresh baked bread and cookies, coffee and a lot more. For more information about the Coquitlam Farmers Market go to www.makebakegrow. com. For more information about the Port Coquitlam Farmers Market go to www. haneyfarmersmarket. org.

2 ¼ c flour 2 tbsp sugar 2 ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt ½ c cold butter 1 c buttermilk 1 egg, lightly beaten

• Strawberry Butter 1/3 C fresh strawberries 1/8 C maple syrup 1/2 C butter 1 tbsp orange zest

ow. It’s a month into market season and things are growing strong. From here on in, it is full-on fresh. Of course, we are all excited about strawberries — and for good reason. The Lower Mainland is home to some of the best strawberry producers in the country and their berries are far superior to the imports from California and Mexico. Local strawberries burst with colour and flavour, and they don’t last long, so eat as many as you can. One of my favourite ways to use them is to mash them into butter, along with a bit of orange zest, and use it to spread on scones fresh from the oven. And while I love strawberries, I get a bit obsessive with the new potatoes. I can eat them at every meal. Steamed with butter. Fried with butter. Boiled with butter… hmmm, maybe it’s the butter I love. Seriously, though, fresh nugget potatoes complete just about every meal for me for the most of June.

SCONES

• Fruit Preserve Butter 1/4 C fruit preserves 1/2 C butter

• Garlic Herb Butter 2 cloves garlic 2 Tbsp fresh parsley 2 Tbsp fresh chives 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/2 C butter • Red Pepper Butter 1/4 C chopped red pepper 2 green onions, chopped 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 C butter For all butters, combine ingredients in food processor and pulse. Place onto a piece of wax paper and form into a log. Wrap in wax paper and twist ends. Refrigerate. Enjoy.

English peas are another spring favourite. I so looked forward to the first harvest from our garden when I was a little girl. I would sit with my grandpa and shuck peas every day. (We always had butter on them, too.) Thankfully, there is no shortage of peas, potatoes or butter at the local

markets and Golden Ears Cheesecrafters of Maple Ridge brings its sweet cream butter to every market. They make it using cream from their own herd of cows. It’s fascinating to see the seasonal changes in the butter as the cows’ diet changes throughout the year. Try blending the butter with some fresh

mint or thyme, it is delicious. Clearly, this column is going to be about butter. That is not what I had in mind as I sat down to write. I wanted to talk about what is coming into season in June. But everything that is in season is better with butter. It’s also spot prawn

season. How can you eat spot prawns without butter? In my world, spot prawns are best when boiled, peeled hot and dipped into garlic butter. Then you need to soak up the leftover butter with fresh bread. Baguettes from A Bread Affair or classic French bread from Gesundheit

My friend Rosie shared this recipe from Canadian Living with me. These are the best scones I have ever made. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture and stir until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (you can add raisins or grated cheese here) Add buttermilk to mixture all at once, stirring to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. With lightly floured hands, press dough into ball. ON lightly floured surface, knead gently 10 times. Gently pat dough into ¾ inch thick round. Cut round into 2 inch wedges and place on baking sheet. Brush tops of scones with egg. Bake in 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Let cool on racks. Eat the scones with one of the flavoured butters featured below.

will work splendidly. Spot prawns are a sustainable seafood choice as well as they are trap caught. Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (www. kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade.blogspot. ca) at the Coquitlam Farmers Market. Her column runs once a month

during market season. In honour of all things butter, the following recipes make liberal use of it. Visit your local market to stock up on all things fresh and happy eating. I know I shared a scone recipe last month, but this one is a classic and works so well with butter.

COURTESY OF PMAC

Jeff Wilson is photographed with his paintings of the Astoria Hotel, Save on Meats and The Only Seafoods neon signs in Vancouver.

Neon lights lure painter S

cottish-born Jeff Wilson opens a new exhibition tomorrow (Thursday) at the Port Moody Arts Centre, with acrylic paintings showcasing Vancouver’s mid-century neon lights. The Tri-City News caught up with Wilson about his show, which closes on July 10 with an artist’s talk.

COURTESY OF PMAC

Acrylic artist Jeff Wilson finds beauty in the neon signs scattered around the downtown eastside of Vancouver, where the Scottish native has lived for the past decade. Above, his painting of the Balmoral.

STEP INTO THE WILD AT ECC

An opening reception will be held tomorrow (Thursday) at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre for a photography exhibition that highlights the forest and its meditative state. Vancouver artist Karin Bubas will show new and recent images — manipulated by the paper tole technique — as part of her collection Scenes from the Paper Forest.

An award-winning artist who is represented by the Monte Clark galleries in Vancouver and Toronto, Bubas studied at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design and has displayed her work around the world, including in Paris, Brussels and Washington DC. The Coquitlam reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. in the art gallery (1205 Pinetree Way). Visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Why neon? “I think because the neon signs are some of the icons in the downtown eastside. I’ve lived here for 10 years and they’re some of the most distinctive landscape elements in the neighbourhood. They’re bright. They’re cheery. And they’re an enduring part of the local landscape here. They’re something very unique to Vancouver. There are not many places in the world that have as much neon as Vancouver had and they are certainly remenants of that time.” Have you been to other cities around world — Tokyo, New York City — where there is a proliferation of neon? “I’ve been to Tokyo and various other places. The nature of these is that they’re all mid-century. Vancouver had a golden age from the post-war to the 1960s where there was a great tradition of design as well as neon production, which endured until the signage laws came in the ‘60s. Because I live in the downtown eastside, I’ve lived beside these signs for 10 years and they cheer me up and the local folks here.” Why do you live in the DTES? “Gastown and the downtown eastside is where the history of Vancouver began. Vancouver is the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Rail and that finishes at the end of our street.”

And Port Moody, where you will be exhibiting, was to be the terminus. “That was the intention until [CPR president] William Cornelius Van Horne did a secret deal with the Granville township.” For your paintings, did you work off old photos? “All of these signs are still around so l took photographs around town and worked off them.” What’s the oldest sign you captured? “It could be the Ovaltine [Cafe]. That was 1948. It is certainly the best preserved out of all of them.” Do you believe there should be more neon today? “Oh, certainly. There’s something particularly beautiful about the reflection of the neon signs in the sidewalks and streets on a rainy day. And especially at night, too. I understand the city’s trying to promote folks to produce signs nowadays but they are expensive and we don’t have the design companies that were around to do that anymore.” What do you hope people will get out of the show? “At the end of the day, it’s pictures of familiar things that people like to look at. The fact that they are local and colourful and bright adds to that.” • The opening reception is June 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at PMAC (2425 St. John’s St., Port Moody). Jeff Wilson will be in attendance. Also, Lynne Fahnestalk’s exhibition A Rivet of Robots has been held over until July 10. New works are being added and the artist will be at the opening reception.

In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increased Belly Fat Low Energy

Low Libido Mood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Roman Danylo (Comedy Inc.), pictured far rightw, David Milchard (Convos With My 2-Year-Old) and Vancouver TheatreSports League regulars Michael Teigen, Pearce Visser, Ken Lawson and Chris Casillan are The Comic Strippers. They will appear in Coquitlam (without Milchard) on June 21 for a sold-out show.

Another sold-out show at the ECC for The Comic Strippers THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Comic Strippers will bring the heat to Coquitlam this month — and take it away in September. On Saturday, the first official day of summer, the shirtless improv troupe will appear in its third sold-out show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre. And, on Sept. 20, they will return to the Coquitlam venue to close the season and welcome fall. Coquitlam has been good to The Comic Strippers, said cast member Roman Danylo. So good, in fact, that he wants to make Evergreen its semi-permanent home because of the high-energy audience and accommodating staff. “They’ve been very good to us,” said Danylo, a veteran comedian who has worked on CTV’s Comedy Inc., adding Coquitlam “is not far from Vancouver so we wouldn’t have to travel. Travelling is hard.” D a ny l o i s r e f e rring to The Comic Strippers’ recent jaunt to Newfoundland, where they had two dates. They’ve also mounted their improv act in Australia as well as around B.C. and Alberta; in Fort McMurray, they played to an audience of 600 “tipsy” folk. “Pretty much everywhere we go they seem pretty enthusiastic,” he said, noting the Lower Mainland has been especially fun for them. “Who would have thunk, eh? You just take your shirt off and everyone comes.” The June 21 performance in Coquitlam will be their first attempt at

the second version of The Comic Strippers. It will have“a substantial chunk of new content,” Danylo said plus different games and routines, extra surprises and some standby favourites. And, like the last round, the men in the crowd will be the

designated “comedy bodies.”“We’re going to make them look good,” Danylo said. As for their new work due out in September, The Comic Strippers will entice with noodles and a pussycat doll lip synch. “We’re putting a lot of

effort into it,” he said. • Tickets for The Comic Strippers on Sept. 20 are $35/$30/$15 by calling Evergreen at 604-927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre. ca. The show is for adults only. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Frankie Cena is many things — actor, singer, debater, emcee, model, Mr. World Canada. But there’s one title the 22-year-old Port Moody resident feels could capture it all: Entertainer. Next week, Cena will show what he’s got to make it big at a debut concert at the Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby, the same site where his hometown idol Michael Buble once gave his first big live performance. “I love to entertain and I love so many different mediums of it,” he said last week as he was preparing to host the Mr. World competition in Torquay, England, with Miss World 2014 Megan Young. “I will do whatever it takes to be global now.” Cena admits he’s had more high-profile success outside Canada. He was a Top 10 finalist in Mr. World in 2012 in England and, last year, he modelled for American Eagle’s Back to School campaign in NewYork City and sang at the X Factor USA live auditions in Los Angeles. Still, his portfolio at home isn’t too shabby, either. In April, the UBC business graduate emceed the first KaBoom! arts fair in Port Moody and he has appeared in local contests, too. For his show on June 26, Cena promises to get toes tapping as he sings cover tunes from the 1960s to present day. “I’m not at the point of releasing original music just yet,”he said. And Cena will be backed up by a band directed by Trevor Hoffman that

Part of the show’s proceeds will be donated to Promise For Tomorrow, a charity run by Cena’s student Lily Kim that is the youth chapter of the Chi Heng Foundation Canada (an organization that supports orphans in China). The goal is to raise $1,000 for the cause. • Tickets for Frankie Cena in Concert Live! at the Michael J.

BC Highland Games HIGHLAND DANCING Visit “Scotland” for the day with the H EATHER J OLLEY D ANCERS The Heavy Events

The Heavy Events are among the oldest contested sports in the world encompassing a series of 9 feats of strength events. Many of the events are derived from the Scottish military weapons of war, while others came directly from every day life. The weights used in the Heavy Events are usually based on two things, the Scottish stone weight (14 lbs.) and the Scottish standard for cannon shot (16 & 22 lbs.). The Women’s light hammer is 12 lbs, probably derived from the 12 lbs. sledge hammer. The events can be divided into three categories: Distance, Height & Caber. In the Distance events (Stone Putt, Weights for Distance Throws, & Hammer) and in the Height events (Weight for Height/Weight over Bar, & Sheaf Toss) the athlete has three attempts, only the best throw being counted. The CaberToss is an event scored for accuracy as though the thrower is standing at the 6:00 position on a clock face, with 12:00 considered a perfect toss.

Tw o Tr i - C i t y lads will get a taste of fervent European soccer culture with a side when they travel to Italy in early July for the San Marino Cup. Port Moody’s I s a i a h Po w e r Smith and Benito Manzo from Coquitlam join a roster of 15 Excel Soccer Academy players who made the cut for the international tournament to be held in the Republic of San Marino from July 6 to 12. “ To h a v e a chance to play soccer in a country that worships the game is so cool and to put my love of the game out there in Europe is just beyond what I ever imagined at 13 years old,” Smith said. “What an amazing opportunity.” see ITaLY, page 30

After going undefeated during round-robin play, FHF found the strength to eliminate a Vancouverbased team in the quarter finals. Then, in a game that would decide who would move on to the gold medal match, Coquitlam FHF and a Maryland team wound up in a shoot-out, at the end of which FHF was handed its first and only loss of the tournament. Afterwards FHF focused its attention on winning the bronze medal. The battle for bronze was a closely contested game that saw FHF hold on to an early lead to win 1-0 against another California team.

La Marre, Marie Jeanne

KURTZ, Mary July 15, 1924 to May 28, 2014 I want the world to know Heaven has been blessed with the kindest, sweetest and ever loved lady. Our Mom is no longer here to tell us she loves us, to give us small gifts, to hug us close & keep Dad warm at night. Mom was born in Swift Current Sask. to William & Jeanie Heafield. The second of four daughters. When she was working in the office at the local RCMP attachment, she met & fell in love with a young & handsome Constable Edward Kurtz. They married on July 5th, 1948. Her four children Susan (Rick), Ken (deceased 2004), Jeanie (Jeff) & Rob (Donna) were all born in North Battleford Sask. All about a year apart. We moved to Regina, Calgary & finally Coquitlam (1959), where my Mom was the secretary at Vanier Elem. School before retiring in 1983. She loved children especially playing checkers & bingo with her grandchildren. She was very active round & square dancing several times a week, snowmobiling at their cabin up Burke Mt. to boating at their cabin up Harrison Lake. Mom & Dad spent 25 + winters in Mesa Arizona, still having time to travel extensively. Left to mourn are her husband Edward of 65 yrs, her children, 7 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, her sister June (Errol) & their children. Words cannot describe how much she will be missed.

Notice is hereby given that the subject property, CFO file Number: 2014-2196, is subject to forfeiture under Part 3.1 of the CFA and will be forfeited to the Government for disposal by the Director of Civil

Forfeiture unless a notice of dispute is filed with the Director within the time period set out in this notice.

The notice of dispute must be filed within 60 days of the date upon which this notice is first published.
