Burke Mountain proposal prompts residents’ petition
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
An equipment failure on the Evergreen Line truss is being blamed for shutting down North Road during rush hour Tuesday afternoon, the second incident to cause a road closure this year. According to Evergreen Line construction manager Nasir Kurji, the truss, which is used to help build the SkyTrain line’s elevated guideway, slipped while moving a piece of concrete into place near Foster Avenue. The equipment failure forced the closure of North Road while construction crews worked to reposition the beam on the truss. The road was re-opened at around 11 p.m.Tuesday. “We don’t know specifically what the nature of the failure is just yet,” he said. “We do see the truss has moved slightly.” Nobody was hurt in the incident and construction was to resume once an investigation had taken place. A ministry press release also noted that the incident would not affect the construction schedule for the Evergreen Line, which is set to open in the summer of 2016. This is not the first time that problems with the construction of the SkyTrain guideway have caused a road closure. In March, a section of Como Lake Avenue was shut down in both directions after a massive concrete beam shifted above Clarke Road. Project director Amanda Farrell said at the time that a temporary spacer on the column on the southwest side of the intersection failed, causing the guideway to rotate. Kurji said this week that the two incidents are not related. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Demands ‘too high’: minister Teachers calling for mediation By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
The latest offer by the BC Teachers’ Federation to settle its provincewide strike has moved the union farther from the “zone of settlement”
established by other public sector unions, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday. With a strike underway that could run until the end of the school year, Fassbender said neither mediation — which the BCTF called for in a press release Thursday morning —
nor a legislated settlement is being considered. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the BC Public School Employers’ Association, said the latest union proposal would bring the compensation increase for teachers from 12.5% over five years to 14.5%. see BCTF, page A6

Burke residents don’t want new land changes Land was to have been site of a middle school By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A 250-name petition was submitted to the city of Coquitlam yesterday (Thursday) to oppose plans for a piece of city land at the centre of Burke Mountain development. Riley Street residents James Sanderson, Corine Carey and Ashley Lequyer started collecting signatures from their neighbours and others last week. And they said they were surprised that not many homeowners knew about the city’s proposal to re-designate 35 acres from a joint middle school/community centre and surrounding single-family units to mostly townhouses with few amenities nearby. I f a p p rove d , t h e change in the Northeast Coquitlam Area Plan would result in hundreds
Coquitlam city staff will receive input on the OCP map and policy amendments proposal until Monday via email at clerks@coquitlam.ca. more residents, which in turn would add more pressure to the area, they said. Carey said the neighbourhood is already jammed with cars as, like many Burke homes, theirs were built with one-car garages and little space for visitors’ vehicles. As well, they’re concerned about the lack of green space in the proposed development since backyards are scarce and there’s little outdoor room for kids to play. In addition, they’ve launched a Facebook page to gather thoughts from their neighbours about the city’s plans (search “Burke Mountain Community”). “What they’re doing affects this community,” said Sanderson who also voiced concern about the limited notification by the city about the application. Ian Radnidge, Coquit-
lam’s acting manager of development services, said the city is doing an early call for public input on the bid as per Section 879 in the Local Government Act. And he said, since it was advertised, the city has received some interest from residents — especially on the official community plan change for the 18 acres the city designated for the middle school site for School District 43 (the school district did not return a request for comment by The Tri-City News’ print deadline). “The school district has indicated that area is not needed for a middle school because they have another area designated in Partington Creek,” Radnidge said, adding SD43 has four school sites identified in the neighbourhood. As for the community centre, the city intends to build it in Partington,
Radnidge said. Still, land use isn’t the only change tied to the application. The city is also planning to take out references for two affordable housing sites. With the Affordable Housing Strategy coming before council soon, city staff want to have more “flexibility” with the policy by not specifically designating properties for low-cost housing. Radnidge said city staff want to allow partnerships between government and non-profit agencies — such as those with the YWCA at Como Lake Gardens in Burquitlam for single moms and their kids and with BC Housing for a homeless and transitional shelter 3030 Gordon Ave. — to occur where it’s needed most. Meanwhile, Sanderson, Carey and Lequyer said they’re ready to make their case before city council when the matter is expected to go to public hearing on July 28; first reading will be considered by council on July 7. jwarren@tricitynews.com

No delivery has new residents of Burke waiting for their mail Canada Post says community box to be installed By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A former Port Moody resident who moved last month to Coquitlam’s burgeoning Burke Mountain says she and her husband have been getting the run-around from Canada Post. On Wednesday, Hillary Westover asked The TriCity News to look into the lack of delivery for their new address as she has yet to receive any mail since they moved on May 24.
That has meant her father-in-law, who lives with the couple, hasn’t received a disability cheque and they haven’t received their bank or credit card statements. As well, a doctor’s note about Westover’s cancer treatment has yet to appear. She told The Tri-City News the problems started as soon as they got into their newly built house, which is located along an arterial road on Burke, with older homes on the other side. At first, they were given the
postal code of V3B 2V6, which was confirmed by a Canada Post employee on May 29. As a result, the couple changed their addresses on their personal ID, alerted their bank and redirected their mail. But when nothing arrived, the couple started to call Canada Post, wondering where their mail was. They were told several stories, she said: • their mail was to be sent to a community mailbox down the street
and they should have received a notice to pick up the keys; • the mail was to come to their door (they bought a $40 mailbox); • and their new community mailbox wasn’t installed yet and they had to wait. They were also informed they were given the wrong postal code in the beginning. It is now V3B 3H6. “I have worked in customer service before and I try to be really accommodating,” she said, “but this has been really frustrating for us.” Westover said her husband has checked with the closest postal office, in Port Coquitlam, and
has collect some mail, but not all. Last week, they reached out for help to the city of Coquitlam and their MLA’s office. Yesterday, John Caines, a Canada Post spokesperson, acknowledged there has been confusion as some parts of Burke Mountain are new and changing. But he said the Westovers’ mail has been — for the most part — available for pick-up at the PoCo station. “None of it has gone anywhere,”he said. Caines also said a new community mailbox would likely be in place for their neighbourhood today (Friday). jwarren@tricitynews.com

On wages and benefits alone, Cameron said that is more than twice the increase other unions, including school support staff employees, have accepted. The BCTF added to its proposal of an 8% wage increase over five years this week with a proposed $225-million fund paid out over five years to settle thousands of grievances filed over the past decade. Those grievances sought to return class size caps and specialist teacher levels that were removed from the contract by legislation, and were ordered restored by a B.C. Supreme Court decision that is now under appeal. The union wants a second $225-million annual fund to fund ongoing class size and special needs support. “It is well into the $ 2 - b i l l i o n r a n g e ,” Fassbender said of the
education system since taking class size and compensation out of the teacher contract. It has been spent in different ways, such as learning assistants who are not teachers, fullday kindergarten and a $75-million annual “learning improvement fund” to address class size and special needs support, Fassbender said. In a BCTF press release Thursday morning, the union called for the province to agree to mediation with the teachers. “B.C. teachers have moved significantly at the bargaining table to bring the two sides closer together but we have not seen similar efforts from Christy Clark’s government,” Iker is quoted as saying. “If Christy Clark agrees to mediation and allows government negotiators to come enter that process with a more open mind, we can get a deal.”

Summer school might go ahead as planned: SD43 By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NewS
Provincial exams for public school students in Grades 10 to 12 will be going ahead as planned this week, despite the teachers’ strike. In a letter to parents this week, School District 43 superintendent Tom Grant said administrators and management staff would be invigilating the tests from June 18 to 25. He also said class marks for Grade 12 students, many of whom are attending post-secondary institutions next year, have been deemed an essential service by the Labour Relations Board. The district is still reviewing how to proceed with processing marks for students in kindergarten to Grade 11. Summer Learning courses continue to accept registration and Grant said that at this time, they anticipate the program will proceed

ospital emergency rooms are essential, no doubt. Ditto police, fire, rescue and ambulance services. Anything concerned with health and safety, including access to food and clean water could be understood to be essential to our society. Certain aspects of the public-transportation system might also be considered essential for those otherwise incapable for getting themselves from point A to point B, or perhaps even waste removal, should the issue become a health issue. But can any part of the education process be deemed an essential service, as the Labour Relations Board determined last week in the provincial government’s so-far failed negotiations with teachers? Make no mistake, having schools behind picket lines is a huge and undeniable inconvenience — for students, for parents, for teachers and, it’s assumed, for government. So is any delay in receiving marks and transcripts, particularly when deadlines loom for entry to the next level of education. But as essential as education may be in the long term, in the short term it’s doubtful the temporary absence of any part of the educational chain poses a threat to life and limb. Besides, if the service is essential, it could be argued it is essential to maintain it and pay for it. – Peace Arch News (Black Press)

In fact, I’ve always been of the mind that unless you are playing a sport that requires it, or are running away from something — a bear, a knife-wielding maniac, an ex-wife, whatever — then it’s more prudent to walk. Why waste energy, right? I see the benefit of running, sure. I have friends who love it. It’s an escape, they insist. It’s just nice to get outside, they say. It’s good for you. I don’t doubt any of those claims. And I have, through the years, made attempts — as feeble as they may be — to become a runner myself. But whatever the reason — a lack of focus, a lack of energy, some-
thing good on TV — I have always quit before I got into any kind of real routine. But I wish I liked it more. I wish I was good at it because, for whatever reason, I am fascinated by those who run. Some of my favourite stories — and most interesting interviews — have been with runners, be they of the track-and-field variety or ultra-marathoners like Ferg Hawke, who runs distances that make me shake my head. In fact, a story I wrote on Hawke when I started at the Peace Arch News is among my most memorable. He had just returned home from the Badwater Ultramarathon — a 135mile run through California’s scorching hot, and aptly named, Death Valley — and we were sitting in the backyard of his south Surrey home. To our right was a glassed-in room in the middle of which sat a treadmill, which itself was surrounded by four space heaters, each designed to blast Hawke with hot air as he trained in an attempt to replicate the Badwater conditions.

Lying in front of us was a box of shoes, many with melted soles — Death Valley asphalt gets hot. There were also a few pairs with the toes cut off because, as Hawke explained, by the last few miles of the run, your feet are so swollen that they no longer fit in your shoes. It was at that moment that I realized maybe running was not for me. It was also at that moment that I wondered if I was sitting on the patio of a crazy person, although that feeling soon waned. Since then, I’ve written plenty of stories about runners. The latest came on a recent Monday, when I sat at my desk and whipped up a few hundred words on the Sandcastle City Classic 10K race, which was won by Kenyan Solomon Rotich. He ran 10 km in just over 31 minutes. As a non-runner, the obvious joke, of course, is to point out that sometimes it takes me that long to drive 10 km, but that’s not entirely true. Sometimes it takes me that long just to find my keys.
But it’s because of all these stories that I decided this week to give running one last try. If nothing else, it’ll get me off the couch for awhile, I figured. The fresh air will be nice. Maybe I’ll lose a couple pounds. Somewhere, I’d heard all that before. So, I laced up my shoes, turned on my iPod and headed out on a nice, easy 4 km loop around my neighbourhood. It wasn’t a particularly difficult route — it starts downhill, which helps — and I found myself chugging along just fine for a kilometre or two. And then a strange thing happened. I didn’t exactly hate it. I didn’t love it, mind you. I didn’t race home and sign up for a 10 km run. And I didn’t dig through the hall closet and start cutting off the toes of all my shoes. But I hated it less. Maybe that’s a start. Nick Greenizan is the sports reporter at the Peace Arch News, a Black Press sister newspaper of The Tri-City News.

Class size and comp. take a toll on teachers The Editor, I am a junior high school science teacher at New Westminster secondary school. When I began teaching in 1997, science classes were limited to 24 students total and, for every three special needs students, there was one less student in the total number, so some of my classes would only have 22 or 23 students. Not only have class size maximums increased to 26 students for my science classes, there are no longer reductions in the total number of students when special students are included.
The demographics of my classes have changed over the years. About half of the students in each of my classes now have some kind of designation. In a typical class of 26 students, which is always filled to the maximum, about 13 have a label attached to them: autistic, learning disabled, learning assistance, mild intellectual disorder, behavioural problems, English l a n g u a g e l e a r n e r, Aboriginal, international student — up to four per class. This doesn’t include the students that have health issues, sleep disorders, lack of support
at home from their parents, divorced parents, poverty or nutritional issues. There are also other students in my classes that have made it as far as high school with no designation but have fallen through the cracks and are clearly needing extra support, help and time from me in order to succeed. I went into teaching because I enjoy helping and working with teenagers. For me, it is all about having students succeed and feel proud of what they have accomplished — it is an amazing feeling. I find the challenge of working
with such diverse classes stimulating and rewarding. But the emotional energy needed to help this many with the constant growing demands of their needs has taken its toll; I feel tired and I am scared for the future of our education system. Because of the large number of students in my classes needing support, I often have at least one education assistant in each class — they’re necessary to keep the class running smoothly and to keep a lot of the students on track. But over the past few years, I have often had my EA pulled from class (and
not replaced) at the last minute to be used elsewhere in the school. This is unfair for our students; it upsets their routine and adds more to my plate. I am not a political person and have not spoken out about education in all my years of teaching but I feel that if each teacher and parent writes about what they know to be going on in our education system, and if we all share that knowledge, maybe it will make a difference. And maybe that might help to give our children and students a better chance. S. Gajdosik, Coquitlam
Kids need librarians The Editor, I encourage our representatives in Victoria to put aside the party line rhetoric and represent student needs in the Tri-Cities. U.S. university studies show schools with teacher librarians have better reading scores, yet the School District 43 board of education has not only cut teacher librarians but eliminated them from our elementary schools. What will happen to the expensive collection of books, online databases, the promotion of research skills and the love of reading if teacher librarians are not in our schools? More importantly what will happen to our children? Our students need these specialist teachers in their schools. Kathy Leko, Port Moody

Srs. transit forum By Diane Strandberg

The Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City seniors want more information about their transportation options, according to a recent survey, and to fill that knowledge gap, a local service agency is holding a forum. The Seniors Transportation Forum: Getting You Where You Want to Go will be held at Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship on Thursday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The TriCities Seniors Planning Network is organizing the forum to help seniors connect with services and get the latest from transportation planners. According to a survey this past winter, the top three issues facing seniors in the Tri-Cities are: ICBC’s driver re-examinations, TransLink’s incoming Compass

Concerns about transit changes in Tri-Cities By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City residents will have several opportunities to weigh in on significant changes coming to the region’s bus schedule as part of the Northeast Sector Area Transit Plan. Several events (see sidebar) will take place between now and July 14 and transit-users are encouraged to provide their feedback on what they think about the proposal But at least one Coquitlam councillor was not happy about the timing of the consultation process. Brent Asmundson, a Coast Mountain bus
driver, told the city’s committee of the whole meeting on Monday that summer is not an ideal season in which to hold a public input opportunity. He was particularly concerned with the elimination of the 143 route to SFU and the fact that there is still no 177 going down United Boulevard. Asmundson suggested extending the public input process and taking the proposal to the TriCity Transit Task Force for feedback. According to the proposed plan, the 143 would be replaced with a new frequent limited-stop connection between a new Burquitlam Station and
Simon Fraser University on Burnaby Mountain. Meanwhile, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart also expressed some concerns about the Northeast Sector Area Transit Plan document. He told council that more bus service is needed for Burke Mountain, where many new developments are being built with singlecar garages and families expecting public transit in the area. Some of the other proposed changes outlined in the document include the discontinuation of the existing 97B line once the Evergreen Line opens in 2016 and the introduction of service along
Guildford Way. (Many of the changes outlined in the proposal are being made in anticipation of the Evergreen opening.) The proposal also looks at redesigning the 151 to travel along Como Lake Avenue between Port Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam. After the consultation process ends on July 14, TransLink will look to make changes to the document, which are ex-
pected to be completed by September.
178 CHANGE
Changes are coming to the 178 Coquitlam Station to Port Moody bus route. Starting Monday, as part of TransLink’s summer service changes, the route between Noons Creek and Johnson Street will run along Panorama Drive. Info: www.translink.ca/servicechanges.

Opponents gear up to battle oil pipeline By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Fr o m K i t i m a t t o Victoria, opponents are preparing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal after it was given federal approval Tuesday. A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel. Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior. Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose community is at the end of Douglas Channel and who is involved in a natural gas export project, said it is too late for more consultations.
Protest at MP’s office in Port Moody: A15 “Every mistake they’ve made we actually pointed out to them and said ‘this is not following our case law principles, you’re making a mistake’,” Ross said Tuesday. “But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court.” Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project. “I think most of the councillors are of the
opinion that they really don’t want to see bitumen going down the channel,” Monaghan said. “They would rather have it refined and have a product that’s refined going down the channel.” B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear “no” in its final submission to the federal review panel. Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.’s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a “fair share” of benefits for B.C. can be met, Polak said. tfletcher@blackpress.ca – with files from Kitimat Northern Sentinel

Pipeline protest in Port Moody Demonstrators occupy office of MP James Moore
“It is our hope that everyone will leave peacefully without requiring police intervention.” Calls for comment from Moore were not returned by The Tri-City News’ print deadline.
By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Protesters were arrested in Port Moody Wednesday after occupying Tri-City Conservative MP James Moore’s office in protest of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline. Nine people entered the office of the Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam MP, who is also B.C.’s senior regional cabinet minister, at around 10 a.m. and said they would not leave until the government reversed its decision to allow the construction of the line. Another group gathered outside the building with signs to show their support. But by 4 p.m., the office was closed and police removed several protesters and arrested four for trespassing. Anjali Appadurai, a spokesperson for the group, told The Tri-City News that despite the charges, she believes the demonstration was a success. “I think the symbolic value of the action was upheld,” she said. “Our message was to say that people are ready to

According to Amanda Nahanee, one of the demonstrators, employees at the office drew the blinds and locked everyone inside the building. She addressed the media
through a mail slot. She said those involved in the demonstration are concerned citizens not affiliated with any single environmental organization. “We all have really strong opinions and we believe Northern Gateway is not a great opportunity for B.C.,” she said. “We want him to reject Northern Gateway.” Port Moody Police Department’s spokesperson, Const. Luke van Winkel, told The Tri-
City News police were in contact with both the protesters and office employees throughout the demonstration. Staff had told police that the protesters were demonstrating peacefully and could stay in the building until the end of the business day, he said “The protesters have been informed that the office will be closing at 4 p.m. and that all parties must exit the building upon its closure,” he said at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

What our patients say... Neck Arthritis: I had tremendous pain in my neck. I couldn’t turn to the right. 9-10 months prior I had tried lots of physio with no great change so I was reluctant to try laser therapy. I had 12 treatments. By the 4th treatment I had more mobility and less pain. It was an amazing difference. I will continue with the exercises as they are beneficial. Such a professional team. – Margaret Ankle Arthritis: After years of chronic pain from a broken ankle and the onset of arthritis I had 12 treatments of Laser Light Therapy. The ankle has improved to about 70-80% normalcy. – Ron Styles (age 66) Arthritis Both Knees: I have been suffering from knee pain for several years and have tried a number of treatments and medications to no avail. I decided to give Laser Light Therapy an opportunity to ease my pain, and while skeptical initially, I am pleased with the results as my “day to day” pain has been reduced significantly. I would recommend Laser Light Therapy to anybody suffering from pain. – William Jack (age 63) Arthritic Hands: When I first started laser on my hands I couldn’t even button a shirt, turn the gas cap or grip a cup. I felt handicapped. After 10 treatments I noticed major improvement. I recommend laser to everybody. – M.M. Elbow and Neck Arthritis: Finally I decided to start Laser Light Therapy. First the neck, within a few treatments my neck and shoulders stopped aching. Then the left elbow, which was quite sore with moderate degeneration. The treatments improved my painful elbow. I no longer awake every few hours from pain and many nights I can sleep right through! RLL (age 62)

No laughing matter: Second Storey closes ‘Disappointed’ in state of PoCo arts, says councillor By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The arts and culture scene in Port Coquitlam was dealt another blow this week after the owner of Second Storey Theatre announced he’ll close up shop this summer. Graham Myers told The Tri-City News he was unable to turn a profit on his improv/ comedy business, located on the edge of the downtown Leigh Square Community Arts Village. And after the workshops and weekend shows end in late July,

atre in 2009 and had a main stage cast of 15 volunteers plus a program for younger improv comedians. Over the past five years, they have performed in high schools and city events, and held drop-in classes. As well, Second Storey attracted some big industry names, including Kids in the Hall’s Kevin McDonald. Come this fall, Myers said he and his crew will be available for bookings and running a Monday workshop in a room above the Terry Fox Theatre. “I’ve looked at other venues — warehouses,
retail shops — and they’re astronomically unaffordable for me,” he said. “There’s not even a chance in heck I could do it even if I wanted to.” PoCo Coun. Michael Wright, chair of the city’s healthy community committee, said he doesn’t like what’s going on with the arts and culture locally. L a s t m o n t h , Joy Sawyer of Coquitlam Music announced her retirement and the closure of her Shaughnessy Street store after 43 years.

Yvonne Chui left. “It’s not good,” Wright told The Tri-City News yesterday. “I’m disappointed in the state of the arts in community at the moment because there have been several losses. “There used to be a vibrant arts scene here but now businesses are feeling the pinch and vacancies are being closely examined by the city,” he said. “We need to take leadership.” Wright said he expects some discussion about the matter with the healthy community committee this summer when a report from city staff is completed. jwarren@tricitynews.com

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.
“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

As Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products.
Question of the Week Four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip: As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.

of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity. The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160 hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, it makes the most of every situation. One thing Mazda’s event planners had us do was drive and collect information for each day’s challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel. A surprise was that some sections were unpaved. Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest backroads at speed meant rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough and rutted gravel. At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear — it just powered on to the next challenge, which was another surprise, the Atlanta Motorsports Park for an autocross challenge. To say we went from one extreme to the other is an understatement. An hour earlier I was sliding across gravel roads, followed by sliding around a racetrack trying to avoid pylons to dial in my best lap time. I got the second best time of the event but one of those pylons got in the way, knocking my time down by two seconds. Over the three-day event, Alexandra and I didn’t have one disagreement, I made some navigational errors and so did she. We let it roll, these were long days and we hoped a few small glitches wouldn’t impact our score too much. We also missed one major clue in our guidebook, one that was worth a whopping 50 points. At the end, we had slipped from second place after the first day to fifth. Sadly, next year we won’t be able to display the number one on the side of our Black Press car. zack.spencer @drivewaybc.ca

With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the accompanying crack from the massive flash. Pouring rain in our tiny car made the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer top-down driving but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of. The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennessee mountains on our way to the Brasstown Valley Resort in neighboring Georgia. Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5 on some of the most dramatic and scenic roads on the continent, and there was money on the line — big money. Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for KidSport. Thus, we had extra pressure this year to repeat. If you ever take a drive through the U.S. southeast, do yourself a favour and avoid interstate highways and experience driving nirvana traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush national and state parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys are something to experience. This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon,” a section of Hwy. 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18 km stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourists, the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE. Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. It never felt like the car was out of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive corners. With a front engine, rear-drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 is one

Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the final part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford.
By Nigel Matthews The restoration story of Laura Ballance’s Mustang T5 has been an interesting one to follow and that is not typical of this kind of project. Before I get carried away telling you what a T5 actually is, I have to report that with the help of the team at 360 Fabrication, suppliers White and Peters, BASF paint and the 200 plus hours of paint preparation, application, wet sanding and polishing by master painter Darren Emmerson, the car is finished! And here is the best part: It’s on time and under budget, almost unheard of in days gone by, let alone today. So what is so special about a T5 Mustang? The Ford Mustang could not be sold in Germany as a Mustang because a truck manufacturer there and later a motorcycle manufacturer owned the trademarked name Mustang. Both manufacturers offered to sell the rights to Ford for $10,000 each but Ford declined and decided the solution would be to use the initial Mustang project name T5 as the solution. With all of the changes required, they should probably have paid the $10,000. With there being so many U.S. armed forces bases in Germany, export models were highly sought after. Laura had no idea how rare her car was until she decided to embark on this project and began doing her research. The T5 registry
has informed Laura that of the 453 Mustang Hardtop T5s built in 1967, hers is one of the few examples ordered with a vinyl roof, which is listed as an option in the VIN tag. There are only two T5s known to exist in Canada, hers and one in Ontario and only 45 have survived in various states of condition worldwide. It is going to be a busy summer for Laura, her two daughters and the Mustang. I suspect her father, never in his wildest dreams would have thought the car would end up as a show car let alone become a family affair involving three generations of his family. The T5 will debut at the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Auction at the PNE on June 21 and 22. A picture of it at it’s gleaming best in next week’s Driveway preview of that show. Then it will head south in July to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Washington, the world’s largest Mustang meet. The car is entered in the Concours restoration class and should place well. Because this is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, the invitations are pouring in, the most recent one from an event in North Carolina. Laura still has a day job so unfortunately will miss that one. She will finish the summer off at the Luxury SuperCar weekend at VanDusen Gardens in September. The car will be viewed at least 30 or 31 times in a month, gracing the walls of garages and repair shops all over North America featured in a 2015 Ford calendar. This concludes a restoration project with a happy conclusion. Nigel Matthews is the director of sales and marketing for Hagerty Insurance Canada. nmatthews @hagerty.com

The focus of Driveway’s recent four-part collector car restoration series was unveiled this week at 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford earlier this week. The 1967 Ford Mustang T5, owned by public relations executive Laura Ballance, will take pride of place first at an exclusive preview for the second annual Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction. Then it will go on public display at this weekend’s event at the PNE Fairgrounds, where more than 600 vintage vehicles will be on display and nearly 150 classic rides will go on Maynard’s auction block. Some other show highlights: a bright ‘A&W orange’ 1966 Plymouth Satellite will be auctioned off with no fees, no reserve, and 100% of the proceeds going to the MS Society of Canada. The
Experts say shocks should be changed at 80,000 kms. Time to think about getting ready for the summer.

Author Charles to speak at Coquitlam Heritage Society AGM An author whose works is steeped in the history of Coquitlam will be the guest speaker at the Coquitlam Heritage Society’s annual general meeting next Thursday. The June 26 AGM will be held at Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch, with a meet-and-greet set for 6 p.m. and the meeting at 6:30 p.m.; Charles will
speak at 7 p.m. Charles writes adventure novels for adolescent readers, many based on her experiences growing up in the Maillardville area in the 1950s. She attended Alderson Avenue elementary school followed by the then newly opened Our Lady of Fatima, where her mother was a teacher.
St-Jean-Baptiste Day in Maillardville Tuesday A celebration of French-Canadian pride on St JeanBaptiste Day will be hosted by the Société francophone de Maillardville and its community partners next week. The event will be held on Tuesday, June 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Coquitlam Heritage Square, 1116 Brunette Ave., and will be a festive time for francophones and francophiles in The Tri-Cities. The French-Canadian National Day will be a memorable community celebration featuring Yves Aquin, a modern troubadour and the master of ceremonies. Fun is on the agenda thanks to activities planned and artists such as singer-songwriter and performer Lison Clochette. Mackin House Museum will open its doors for a historic visit and Place des Arts will offer craft activities for all. Participants are encouraged to bring guitars, harmonicas, accordions or any other instruments you may have to make this event a block party. Light refreshments will be served during the festivities and the event is free to attend and open to all. For more information, visit www.maillardville.com.
Multi-sensory tutoring is offered for local kids While the dispute between the province and its public school teachers may continue, that won’t affect a Tri-City group aiming to help students who need some special attention. The Family Resource Centre will be open this summer and is offering several multi-sensory tutoring camps, which will run Mondays through Thursdays, for one-hour morning sessions, at Minnekhada middle school in Port Coquitlam. Tutors are Orton Gillingham-trained and all students attending summer camps will be guaranteed a tutoring spot in FRC’s tutoring program that runs from September 2014 through June 2015. Cost is $22 per child per session. For full information regarding the Family Resource Centre’s summer tutoring camps, email frcdistrict43@ gmail.com.
Eventually, she attended UBC, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Education, which led to her own teaching career. She now writes fulltime and has had 18 books for children published, including Sophie Sea to Sea, which won the B.C. Year 2000 Book Award. It tells the story of a French-Canadian family’s journey across
Canada to settle in Maillardville in 1949. Other books in the Sophie series include Criss Cross Double Cross, Sophie’s Friend in Need and Chasing a Star. Another novel, Boxcar Kid, is about the first wave of French Canadians traveling west by train to work in the B.C. lumber mills in 1909. One of her recent
novels, Run Marco Run, is about a 13-year-old’s quest to release his father from kidnappers in Colombia and it won the 2012 Moonbeam Gold Medal Award and was the second place winner in the 2013 Chocolate Lily. The AGM will include society chair Hazel Postma’s report, an update on the society’s
financial status from treasurer Chris Worsley, and the introduction of the current board. A question and answer period will follow the brief AGM. The public is invited to attend this free event and learn more about Coquitlam and its history. For more information, call 604-516-6151 or visit www.coquitlamheritage.

Now, on to Kinder pipeline talks PoMo to hold info session on Wed.
F
ollowing the federal government’s approval of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline Tuesday, many eyes will likely turn to the Kinder Morgan pipeline, a project that will have far greater implications for people who live in the Lower Mainland. Like its northern twin, this pipeline project has also met with considerable resistance from people across B.C. Most noteworthy in this opposition are the many First Nations that oppose construction of the pipeline in their territories and fear the risk and damage that could ensue from spills of explosive and toxic diluted bitumen. The federal government has set the stage for this discussion by demonizing people who care about nature as foreign-supported environmental radicals and eliminating a number of important environmental protection measures, such as protection of salmon habitat, through passage of their Omnibus bills in 2012. The government went event further, also halting important environmental research into pollution, destroying priceless scientific libraries and then diverting several million taxpayer dollars towards fruitless investigations into the financial backing of a number of environmental groups. None of these initiatives gave me any confidence that, by the time we enter into discussions over the pro and cons of pipelines, there would be anything fair or balanced about the deliberations. So, instead of a more proper and neutral environmental assessment undertaken by Environment Canada for the Kinder Morgan pipeline, we now have an evaluation being conducted by the National Energy Board, a board that focuses on energy production and is based in Calgary. What’s more, the federal government has changed the rules of engagement. Unlike the Enbridge hearings, people no longer have the opportunity to speak in person to the threeperson panel from the National Energy Board. Instead, people had to submit written applications to participate and prove they had expertise to offer or would be directly affected by the pipeline. Whatever happened to freedom of

The government also determined that people must confine their comments to a list of 12 issues and ruled any discussion about impacts on climate change are not acceptable. Despite the unusual and somewhat onerous application process, almost 2,200 people applied to participate in the Kinder Morgan hearing. Individuals, groups, companies or governments granted the opportunity to participate were given either“commenter”or“intervenor”status. Of those who applied, 468 were denied altogether and 452 who requested intervenor status were downgraded to commenter. In total, 1,250 applicants were granted commenter
status, which allows the submission of a single letter, due in September. About 400 participants were granted intervenor status, which allows them two opportunities to submit written questions to Kinder Morgan plus make an oral presentation to the National Energy Board panel in early 2015. But unlike proceedings in most legal hearings, intervenors will not be allowed to cross-examine witnesses.The first round of questions was due in mid May and Kinder Morgan has a deadline of June 18 to issue written responses. All the questions and responses will be posted to the National Energy Board website, filed under the Trans Mountain Expansion
Project. While it would take days to go through all the material posted, it does make for some fascinating reading. The submission from economist Robyn Allan is especially worth a read. Thankfully, several local cities and Metro Vancouver are participating as intervenors. The mayor of Burnaby, influenced no doubt by his experience dealing with the devastating 2007 Kinder Morgan oil spill, is playing a lead role in opposing the pipeline. In the Tri-Cities, the Burke Mountain Naturalists and members of the Colony Farm Park Association were delighted when the city of Coquitlam recently submitted a letter to Kinder Morgan opposing its proposed use of Colony Farm Regional Park as a worksite for pipeline assembly. Next Wednesday evening (June 25), the city of Port Moody is doing its part by hosting a town hall meeting on the project. While preregistration is requested (via the city’s website), members of the public are welcome to attend, although preference will be given to Port Moody residents when it comes to asking questions of
the four-person panel, which will include representatives from Kinder Morgan, the Pacific Pilotage Authority, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation as well as advocate for the protection of Burrard Inlet, local resident Rod MacVicar. It should make for an interesting evening and provide some valuable perspectives on the pipeline project.
Elaine Golds is a Port Moody environmentalist who is conservation/education chair of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, chair of the Colony Farm Park Association and a founding director of the board of the Port Moody Ecological Society.

Parade Saturday in PoMo
Tri-City News Friday, June 20, 2014, A27
Take a hike, see a parade and... magic! Books Plus runs in The Tri-City News each Friday to highlight programs and happenings in the Tri-Cities’ three libraries: Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.
Port Moody will kick off the summer with a grand parade tomorrow (Saturday) featuring more than 55 parade entries, clowns, stilt walkers and more. The parade was a hit last year during the city’s centennial celebrations after a 30-year hiatus and so it was brought back for this year. It kicks off at 11 a.m. at the corner of Murray Street and Ioco Road, with the parade travelling 2 km to Rocky Point Park. The grandstand and announcers will be located at Western Safety on Murray Street, next to the skate park at Rocky Point Park. Parade watchers are encouraged to get to the area early to find parking, or walk or take transit, and additional parking will be available at Inlet Park while reserved handicapped parking will be available at the Port Moody public works yard. For more information, visit www. portmoody.ca/parade.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Photos submitted by FortisBC, above and top right, and Melissa Tolsma, right
Barbecuing with natural gas is extremely convenient, as it uses the home’s natural gas supply and homeowners are able to grill with several different temperatures. Reno Me! with FortisBC contest winner Melissa Tolsma is looking forward to the installation of her new natural gas fire pit as part of her natural gas renovation.
Reno Me! with FortisBC winner Melissa Tolsma starts her outdoor natural gas renovation By Kerry Vital
Nanaimo’s Melissa Tolsma describes herself as a “reluctant renovator.” If something isn’t broken, there’s no need to fix it, and duct tape can fix anything that is broken. However, when she saw the opportunity to enter last year’s Reno Me! with FortisBC contest and win $10,000 towards a renovation with natural gas, she decided that her outdoor space could use a bit of sprucing up. After winning the contest, her renovation adventure began. Tolsma notes that she’s always cold, so having the warmth of natural gas was tops on her priority list. Currently, one of the most popular options
that use natural gas is a fire pit, which will be an integral part of Tolsma’s renovation and something she is particularly looking forward to. “My eight-year-old daughter is very excited about having a year-round s’mores facility right in the backyard!” Tolsma says. According to FortisBC, outdoor natural gas fireplaces and fire pits allow you to spend more time outdoors, even in the cooler months. They’re also more convenient for homeowners, who won’t have to spend time chopping wood or dealing with uncontrolled smoke and fumes or spitting embers. Like all natural gas appliances, they provide instant heat and are available in a variety of styles.
Natural gas. Good for outdoor living. Entertain all year long with a natural gas barbecue. Add a patio heater or fire pit for cosy warmth and ambience. Transform your outdoor living space with natural gas. FortisBC uses the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc. (14-106.5 04/2014)
Tolsma’s cast concrete fire pit, from Solus Decor, is expected to arrive soon, and contractor Brad Fraser of Jonker Custom Building has been hard at work. “Brad is working on two cedar benches to be installed next to the fire pit,” Tolsma says. “I’ve had fun spending way too much time on Houzz, gathering ideas and images that have really helped to shape the project.” The fire pit is just the beginning of Tolsma’s ongoing outdoor space renovation. “I’m going to have my licensed gas contractor extend the gas line to accommodate a gas barbecue and heater in the future,” says Tolsma. FortisBC notes that a natural gas barbecue
can be extremely convenient for homeowners looking for fuel on demand, as you’ll never have to deal with running out of propane or charcoal. It also allows you to cook with different temperatures at the same time and control the heat more easily. Natural gas barbecues use flexible hoses that connect to the home’s natural gas supply and have a built-in shutoff. This quickconnect feature makes it simpler to attach as well. Another benefit is that cooking outdoors will keep your home cooler during the warm summer months. CONTINUED INSIDE

Natural gas possibilities inspire renovators CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT
In addition to using natural gas for outdoor living, Tolsma is including a new deck in her outdoor space renovation. “The deck is built with locally harvested cedar, and has a lovely, earthy West Coast feel to it,” she says. “Brad even built a custom raised garden box with some of the leftover lumber. I’ve been busy with some landscaping and gardening work, so it’s all starting to come together.” Another option for using natural gas outdoors is a hot tub, with its consistent, fast heat and automatic safety shut-off controls for added peace of mind. Plus, avid swimmers will be glad that natural gas can also heat swimming pools. The possibilities for natural gas use outside continues to inspire renovators. Depending on where you live, natural gas patio heaters keep you warm outdoors, even in the fall and winter. They use radiant heat to warm objects around them, according to FortisBC, and are connected to your home’s natural gas supply. You can also find natural gas patio lamps that can be used to light walkways, patios and other outdoor entertaining spaces. There are models available that provide bright steady light or ambient natural glow, so you’re easily able to create the mood you want for entertaining. Natural gas is a convenient choice for more than just spending time outside. The inside of Tolsma’s home is heated with natural gas as well. “With a small house like mine, I love that my gas furnace can heat the house to a comfortable temperature within a few minutes,” says Tolsma. “I don’t have a fireplace inside, so I’m looking forward to having a natural gas fire feature on my new deck.” Whether you’re upgrading your heating system or extending natural gas to the backyard, you’ll need the services of a licensed natural gas contractor. Find someone qualified in your neighbourhood at fortisbc.com/findacontractor. The cost to operate natural gas appliances is very affordable. Natural gas rates continue to cost less than it would cost to run with electricity. Don’t believe it? FortisBC has an online energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrating that natural gas is an affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at fortisbc.com/energycalculator. Tolsma is blogging throughout her renovation. Find her blog on your local Black Press newspaper’s website, or at www.bclocalnews. com/business/realestate. “I’m looking forward to having a deck launch party next month, and I will be inviting all my awesome family, friends, co-workers and neighbors who helped me win,” Tolsma says. “There will be burgers and s’mores galore!” You too could enjoy natural gas in your backyard. Enter FortisBC’s Endless Summer Nights Contest for your chance to win a $10,000 natural gas dream patio. But hurry, the contest closes June 30, 2014.

Tri-City athlete competes against european wrestlers By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News
ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO
Coquitlam Jr. Adanac forward Jean Luc Chetner takes a shot on New Westminster Salmonbellies goalie Michael Flintoff during a 12-10 loss at the Poirier Sports and Recreation Complex Wednesday night. The loss knocked Coquitlam off its perch atop the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League standings with a record of 13-2-1 on the season.
With provincial and national titles already under her belt, Port Moody wrestler Ciara McCrae took down some international opponents at a European tournament last week. The Grade 11 Port Moody secondary grappler represented Canada at the Germany Grand Prix in Dormagen on June 7 as part of the national junior team — an honour she earned after winning a silver at the FILA Cadet Trials in April. The experience of competing overseas for the first time literally knocked McCrae off her feet. “The first tournament, in Germany, was very hard,” McCrae told The Tri-City News on Wednesday. “I kind of psyched myself out, because it was my first international tournament and it was very overwhelming.” see MCCRae, page 36
Reds sweep U.S. tourney, move up in standings By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Reds are moving up the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings, and gaining playoff momentum after sweeping the competition at a U.S. tournament last weekend. The only out-of-town guests, the Reds quickly made themselves at home at the Dream Field Wood Bat Tournament in Mount Vernon, Wash. Inclement weather in the area on Friday forced the postponement of the Reds’ first game until
Saturday. Right out of the gate, led by Nick Evans, the Reds’ pitching staff was strong, which helped lift the team to an initial 6-2 win. “[Nick] went the distance in game one,” Reds assistant general manager Wes Taylor told The Tri-City News on Wednesday. The closely-contested final game went three extra innings, with the Reds’ Evan Soutar taking full advantage of a single up the middle to score the winning run. Recapping the weekend’s highlights, Taylor said Reds
outfielder Austen Butler made some outstanding catches and had the team’s biggest bat by far, hitting .400 for the tournament. Taylor said the Reds treat these tournaments — they are scheduled to play in another one in Seattle in July — as valuable experience. “We always try to get tested more and one of the ways to do that is to play more American teams,” said Taylor. Next up, the Reds face some stiff competition when they return to action on Sunday for a doubleheader
against the North Delta Blue Jays at Mundy Park. “We are fighting for a playoff spot right now and we have a couple important dates coming up against teams that are just above us in the standings,”said Taylor. The Reds are playing the best baseball of the season right now, said Taylor, and hope to continue the trend going into July. “Our last league game was against the Langley Blaze, who are at the top of the standings, and we beat them. So we are on a bit of a roll,” said Taylor.

pened to me.” McCrae managed to find her footing a couple days later at the Austrian Ladies Open, where she placed first in the cadet category. In Europe, she was joined by Coquitlam grappler Justina DiStasio, who won the Austrian
Cup in Guelph, Ont., at the end of July, while waiting to hear if she qualifies for the FILA Cadet World Championships. Next year, the 16-yearold, whose dad, William, was a professional wrestler, has her sights set on making the junior national team.
