Summer school up in the air in SD43
Noh’s son pushes for Silver Alert program By Diane Strandberg
Classes supposed to start on July 7
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The son of missing Coquitlam senior Shin Noh is encouraged about efforts to get a program in place that would help find people with Alzheimer’s or dementia who go missing.

The elderly woman who was struck and killed while riding her scooter in Port Moody Tuesday afternoon has been identified as Betty Pleshko. The 71-year-old was crossing the street at Ungless Way and Ioco Road at around 3:20 p.m. when a southbound flatbed truck struck a car and an SUV that were waiting at the intersection. The large commercial vehicle overturned, hitting Pleshko.

Thousands of students who have signed up for summer school in School District 43 will have to wait until July 3 to learn if their classes will go ahead.
And for high school students waiting for report cards, information will be available after July 4. SD43 superintendent Tom Grant said Thursday that SD43 will wait until a few days before summer classes are scheduled to start on July 7 to decide whether to proceed, in the hopes that a
resolution between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the province’s bargaining arm, BC Public S c h o o l E m p l oye r s ’ Association, strike a deal. “In a day or two, we can have things up and running,” Grant said of summer school if a deal is reached. see 5,479 STUDENTS, page 3

Six guys, one 41-foot boat & 2,308 nautical miles: Tri-City crew in Vic-Maui yacht race PoMo skipper and crew to take part in big race By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A
lan Slater isn’t so concerned about winning the VicMaui InternationalYacht Race. The Port Moody skipper and owner of Bedlam II just wants to see the finish line. It will be the second time the 41-foot sloop has crossed the Pacific Ocean for the biennial race. (The first time was in 1980, when she sailed 2,308 nautical miles from Victoria, down the coast to around the San Francisco area, and on the high seas and into the harbour at Lahaina, Maui.) But it will be the first for Slater and his crew: Gordon Penner, Gary McKinnon and Devin Jain of Port Moody, Coquitlam’s Kevin Treharne and John Johnstone of Vancouver. Together, their average age is 55 and none has sailed such a distance before. “It’s going to be a tough assignment,” said Slater, who sails today (Friday) for Victoria. For a year, the team has been prepping for the adventure, getting ready to check off the bucket-list item. Slater estimates they’ve spent up to $70,000 to upgrade Bedlam II, a 46-year-old fibreglass Redline boat with the jet black hull he bought three years ago and docks at the Vancouver Rowing Club. They did all the work themselves: rebuild-
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Members of the crew — those who will sail and those who will support — of the Bedlam II, a 41-foot sloop owned by Port Moody skipper Alan Slater that will compete in the biennial Vic-Maui yacht race. None of the crew has sailed in the two-week race but they’ve been preparing by taking part in pre-qualifying events such as Swiftsure. ing the masthead and spreaders and replacing some shrouds, the backstay and most of the running rigging, among other things. As well, their ground crew — Catherine Kluane Larsen and Nancy Scott — have helped with the food. Because they have little storage in their cramped quarters, they’ve had to provision Bedlam II with dried or dehydrated ingredients and mixes. And with no water maker onboard, the drinking fluid will also have to be rationed. Food and beverage
are only one challenge, though. During the two weeks travelling to Maui, the crew will be sleep deprived, working in shifts of four hours each. They won’t be able to shower during the trip and will face strong winds — up to 50 knots. They’re also likely to encounter the doldrums as well, “when there’s nothing to do” but to wait for the prevailing winds to pick up in lowpressure areas. And with McKinnon on board — a childhood friend who trekked with Slater to the base camp
of Mt. Everest in 2012 — there will be a battery of bad jokes, the skipper said with a laugh. But they won’t always be alone on the course. For the 24th edition of the race, Sail #2507 will be joined by 14 other boats from the Vancouver Rowing Club, the Royal VancouverYacht Club and the West Vancouver Yacht Club plus, from Washington State, the AnacortesYacht Club, the Milltown Sailing Association, the Gig HarborYacht Club, CYC Tacoma and the Port MadisonYacht Club. They’ll have a wide au-
dience, too, as they plan to document their experience via satellite/GPS communication devices (follow them on Twitter at @svBedlam2). Best of all, when they navigate their way into the Lahaina harbour — no matter what hour — Slater said they’ll be greeted Hawaiian-style: With a well-deserved case of cold beer and leis from the LahainaYacht Club, which sponsors the race with the Royal VancouverYacht Club. “I’ll just be happy if we make it,”Slater said. The architect is positive Bedlam II will be a
5,479 students signed up for summer school in SD43; CUPE deal isn’t done continued from front page
No matter what happens, students and parents can get information on the district’s website (www.sd43.bc.ca) and plans are in place to email them. As many as 5,479 students have registered for summer courses in SD43, including remedial classes, those taken for high school credit, secondary skill building and programs for elementary and middle school students. As well, the lucrative international education program runs summer ESL and cultural courses for international students.
TOM GRANT, SD43 SUPT. As long as teachers remain off the job, CUPE workers are also affected, said Local 561 president Dave Ginter. For example, custodians and clerical staff expecting to work at
schools hosting summer programs don’t know if they will have a job to go to if the strike continues through the summer while custodians who work at schools that are closed for the summer and not behind picket lines may still be able to work and collect pay. “That causes me nothing but nightmares,” Ginter said. Other CUPE workers are affected, too. Some, such as payroll clerks, have been declared essential and are working while others on 10-month contracts normally don’t get paid during the summer and
others have either lost or could lose work, and pay, unless they use vacation, sick leave or OT to make up wages. There’s a provision in a tentative five-year agreement to repay CUPE workers salary lost due to the strike but Ginter said his local has yet to ratify the deal and is waiting to see how local bargaining progresses. CUPE workers, can however, get strike pay if they join teachers on the picket line. Meanwhile, report card information will be sent out soon. For students in kindergarten to Grade 8, principals
will be sending a letter to parents. Grade 9 students will receive a report card but in cases where assessment information is not available, the course will be graded NM, for “no mark.” Grade 10 to 12 students will receive a report card with final grades only. These report cards will be mailed on July 4. Provincial exam marks will also be entered into students’ records. Information will be sent to parents and is also available at www. sd43.bc.ca.

They’ve sailed her in pre-qualifying events such as Swiftsure and the Southern Straits — in the latter, they faced winds gusting up to 40 knots — and she handled well despite her age, Slater said. In fact, Bedlam II placed third in the Straits.
For the Vic-Maui race, which launches July 3, the rig will be the eldest in the fleet. Still, what Slater isn’t so confident about is whether they’ll have everything they need for the expedition.“I’m sure we’ll be missing something. We’ll probably figure it out just as we sail away.”

Cufflinks but no medals pervisor Scott Grimmer. “Nevertheless, Mr. Miles was pretty happy that we found some of his property.” Miles’ home was broken into on May 30. Several days after the theft, police found a stolen van with forensic evidence that allowed them to identify a suspect. Investigators were led to Jaylene Hawkins, a 23-year-old Surrey woman who is now facing one count each of theft of mail, mischief, unauthorized use of credit card data, possession of stolen property and
breach of a condition. “We are working with Surrey RCMP as well as other policing agencies in the surrounding area to follow up with the evidence that we seized, and are considering additional criminal charges for Ms. Hawkins,” said Coquitlam RCMP Staff Sgt. Paul Willms. Still, Miles would like to get his medals back. Police said that anyone with information should contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

This week, more than 750 people signed a petition, available at change. org, calling for the introduction of a Silver Alert program in B.C. that would alert authorities and the media in such cases. Sam Noh said the petition was put online by volunteers who support his efforts to promote a system that could prevent other families from losing their loved ones. “This doesn’t change our situation but it seems like a common sense solution,” said Noh, who said he has sent letters lobbying for a Silver Alert program to MLAs and Coquitlam RCMP, and will meet with B.C.’s new seniors advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, this week. A private members bill for a Silver Alert program was also introduced in the legislature by CoquitlamMaillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson earlier this year. For Noh, the lobbying effort is meaningful as he and his family deal with lack of closure because their Shin Noh’s remains
SHIN NOH have never been found. Noh believes his dad would have been found if a Silver Alert program had been in place because Burke Mountain construction workers who saw him shortly after he left home would have known to call police right away. Instead, it wasn’t until a few days later after they saw his picture in the media that they called police. By then, Noh, then 64, disappeared. The petition notes that with the number of Alzheimer’s and dementia cases increasing, a Silver Alert program is necessary to help raise awareness when people with the disease, who are known to wander, go missing.
Similar to the Amber Alert program used to alert authorities to abducted children, Silver Alert is available in several U.S. states. But local BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer says the province wants to do more research before making a decision on the program. Reimer said the province’s new seniors’ advocate is familiar with dementia issues and will be making the idea of a Silver Alert an “area of focus.” As well, the Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA said, B.C. RCMP are working with the Alzheimer Society of BC on a wandering registry and a program in Ontario to provide police with dementia training and families with a Safely Home kit is being monitored by the province to see if it’s a good model for this province. Meanwhile, Noh said he, his mother and sister miss their father, who was also a grandfather. Still, no memorial service is planned. “We’re moving forward,” he said, “but we haven’t yet moved on.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
CPR fundraiser for AEDs St. John Ambulance volunteers will be doing a CPR drill for seven hours straight at Coquitlam Centre this weekend to raise money for automated external defibrillators in public spaces. Marie Lavoie, a communications co-ordinator for the organization, said 40,000 Canadians suffer sudden cardiac arrests each year and AEDs can significantly increase a victim’s chance of survival. St. John Ambulance is
working to make AEDs available in more public spaces so people suffering from heart attacks can get the help they need quickly, she said. “We understand that these devices are quite expensive,” Lavoie said. “The machines can cost between $1,300 and $4,000.” The CPR-a-Thon at Coquitlam Centre mall will see a group of between 10 and 12 volunteers administer chest compressions
on a dummy from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. St. John Ambulance is hoping to raise $16,000 for the acquisition of more defibrillators. Other events will be held at the Burnaby Fa r m e r ’ s M a r k e t , Capilano Mall in North Vancouver, Lansdowne Centre and Richmond Centre in Richmond, and Haney Place Mall in Maple Ridge.

Po r t M o o d y council decided Tuesday not to spend money on storage for a piano the city does not have. Council voted to put off any decisions on budgeting for storage for a baby grand after several councillors expressed concerns that the city was putting the “cart before the horse” by considering a proposal to put $40,000 in the 2015-’19 budget plan when there is no piano. But it was also noted that a community fundraising effort to buy a baby grand for recitals and concerts in the Inlet Theatre can’t start until a storage plan is finalized. According to a report prepared for Tuesday’s council meeting, a piano could be suspended from the ceiling above the stage at the Inlet Theatre, then raised and lowered by a single staff member. The cost would be $40,000 for installation, including a sizable contingency, but ongoing costs would be affordable for users. Council voted to receive the report, leaving open the possibility of reconsidering the cost item if the community gifts the city with a piano. PoMo’s manager of cultural services, Devin Jain, told council the city could generate revenue from concerts if it had a piano in the theatre.

A police accident investigator examines the scene Tuesday afternoon after a three-vehicle crash at Ioco Road and Ungless Way in Port Moody resulted in a woman driving her scooter on a sidewalk being struck and killed.
Truck hit two vehicles, then struck elderly PM woman continued from front page
“The truck ultimately collided with two vehicles parked side-byside at the traffic light,” said Port Moody Police Department Insp. Ken MacDonald. “After colliding with the vehicles, it flipped and subsequently struck the female.” MacDonald said it is still too early to say what caused the crash and accident reconstruction experts continue to investigate. But he told The Tri-
City News that police have seized the truck involved in the crash and are looking closely at the condition of the vehicle’s brakes. He added that a witness told investigators the flatbed’s brakes were smoking as it came down Heritage Mountain and approached the intersection. “We are considering — just considering — the possibility of a brake failure,” he said. “I can’t say that our investigators have determined that yet.”
Pleshko was travelling back to her home after shopping with her daughter at Thrifty’s in Suterbrook when the crash occurred. The daughter, MacDonald said, was about 300 feet behind her mother at the time of the collision and was not injured. The driver of the flatbed was taken to hospital with a concussion and a leg injury while the driver of the SUV was taken to hospital with neck and back pain. Another victim who was

driving a Toyota Celica suffered a concussion and a broken ankle. The crash, in which a lamp post and traffic light control box were demolished, led to the closure of the intersection for about 15 hours while accident investigators conducted their work. By 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, the road was re-opened and Wednesday morning’s commute occurred without incident.

Mounties seek theft suspect Card used two weeks after theft By Gary McKenna ThE TrI-CITy NEWS
Coquitlam RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a man who has been using a stolen credit card. A victim told Mounties she remembered using her credit card at a drivethrough of a local eatery
on April 14 but only realized two days later that she did not get her card back. She immediately contacted the credit card company but was informed that someone had used the card on April 25 at another restaurant. Investigators were able to obtain CCTV images from the restaurant and are now asking the public to help identify
the suspect. Anyone with any information on the identity of the man in the photo accompanying this story is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2014-10726. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by calling 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or going to www. solvecrime.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
This suspect is believed to have used a stolen credit card.

Council orders demo
Port Coquitlam council is giving the Pitt River Marina 60 days to demolish and remove a derelict building that floated off its supports during a highwater surge four years ago. The remedial order for the property, which staff said has become littered with debris and has been the subject of numerous complaints of unsightliness, was unanimously approved during Monday night’s meeting. According to a staff report, if the owners of the building do not comply with the city directives, staff have permission to enter the property and conduct the work themselves at the owner’s expense. Someone had been living in the home after it was knocked off its supports but the city posted a do-not-occupy order “based on the poor condition of the building and a concern for the safety of the tenant living there,”said a staff report. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
he region’s mayors got a dressing down this week from Transportation Minister Todd Stone. It would seem that Attila the Hun is more of a pushover than Stone, who is not prepared to share Lower Mainland proceeds from the provincial carbon tax with TransLink for road and transit improvements because of concerns it would negate his government’s promise to make the tax revenue-neutral. But he’s game to let the mayors go to the voters on another, different, carbon tax, or hike property taxes — big surprise, pushing an unpopular decision on to a lower level of government — further to fill their funding gap. As for other ways of raising dough, such as mobility pricing (making people pay more for driving further), or getting more money from the feds, he was also lukewarm, suggesting the mayors’ reach either exceeded their grasp or that they needed to do more homework on their proposal. Thus, developing a suitable referendum question will likely be put off until the fall. They needn’t look for any help from the province, though. All they’re likely to get is a Stone-y stare.

Minister, look at needs of education system AS I SEE IT Ramona Chu Coquitlam mom with experience on PACs and SPCs writes letter to education minister A letter to B.C. Education Minister Peter Fassbender:
F
or the 17 years that my children have been in the education system, I have been extremely lucky to have a job with flexible hours. I was able to volunteer at my children’s schools and it has been an incredible experience. I have had the opportunity to drive on field trips, volunteer in classrooms, run fundraisers and sit on school planning councils (SPCs) and parent advisory councils (PACs). I have worked with teachers, administrators and coaches.
When I started volunteering as part of the school community, sitting on SPCs was exciting. While working on school plans, we would research best practices in helping struggling learners; at a district level, we would have evenings trying to decide our priorities in spending. Very quickly, however, SPCs became about how far we could push class size and composition. At the district level, it became about deciding on what could be cut. In the 2010/’11 school year, my fellow SPC parent rep and I became horrified at the class composition at the middle school level and the time, effort and money spent on grievances. We wrote to George Abbott, who was then the minister of education. The response was to take up the issue with our school board. We followed his advice and the response from the board was that there was not enough funding to address class composition issues. Three years on, with further cuts in the education system, the ministry is still refusing to acknowledge the issues.You govern through

“You tell us the education system must wait until the economy improves before we will see additional funding. We would wait if we could but we cannot tell kids who need extra services to wait. Their needs are now.” Ramona Chu talking points indicating that there is more per-pupil funding than ever. Even after being presented with a binder full of families’ stories highlighting the lack of services, you stood in the house and repeated your talking points. A teacher presented you with documented class size and composition issues, and there is still silence from you.You gleefully announce our graduation rate without acknowledging that
the students graduating today only saw the beginning of cuts. You tell us the education system must wait until the economy improves before we will see additional funding. We would wait if we could but we cannot tell kids who need extra services to wait. Their needs are now. Are we to let a generation fall behind while we wait for the economy to improve? We are already seeing a drop in international testing scores. We will soon be seeing a drop in graduation rates. Mr. Fassbender, I urge you and your government to acknowledge the problems with our system. I beg you to look at the needs of the system and calculate resources needed rather than imposing a budget that does not consider increased costs. Bring resources to the table to repair some of the damage done to the system. Settle with the teachers. And when peace is restored in the system, we will need to talk about funding for supplies, technology, seismic upgrading and capital projects.
Ramona Chu is a Coquitlam resident and mother.

Government has been eager to save hundreds of millions by placing special needs children in regular classes but has simply not followed up by providing enough support workers to make that policy successful; rather, special needs budgets have been progressively cut.

management (e.g., the hydro debt to California). Meantime, several groups have, in fact, achieved contracts outside the magic “zone”, including police officers, firefighters, bus drivers and employees of BC Hydro, BCIT, SkyTrain and more. The hidden agenda here is privatization via slow strangulation. There is no underfunding? Really?

The Editor, Re. “City contracts topic at Sept. workshop” (The Tri-City News, June 18). The recent talk at Coquitlam council about the city “buying local” is admirable but may be too late. Where was council when the federal government started to push the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Europe? It is more farreaching than NAFTA and prohibits any Canadian city from placing value on local content in goods, services or construction projects they purchase. This means, should a European corporation also bid on a job, Coquitlam will not be allowed to favour anyone based on how much Canadian or local content their product or service contains. The corollary is Coquitlam firms would be able to bid on European jobs. That is a good thing but I worry not as good as being able to mandate local supply if we so choose. There has been an astounding lack of publicity on the pros and cons of this agreement. I don’t want time and money spent developing policies with nice sounding names like Buy Local Bylaw to make me feel good about whom I may or may not vote for, when they are designed to fail.

The Editor, It is wrong-headed to suggest, as seems the fashion, that the BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government are equally to blame for the current impasse or, even worse, that teachers are just asking for too much. The linchpin is this government’s hardbitten intransigence in disobeying two Supreme Court judgments ordering it to negotiate class composition/size — i.e., learning conditions — which is teachers’ number one concern. They proved it by dramatically dropping salary demands to below what is fair (considering a history of less than 1% a year in the last 16 years). The real working life of a typical teacher consists of 10+ hour days with further evening and weekend overtime, in classrooms overloaded with a mix of mostly unsupported special needs cases that make teaching itself well-nigh impossible. Teachers now endure stress to levels unimagi-

New garbage system rolling out next week in Coquitlam By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The rollout for Coquitlam’s new garbage, green waste and recycling pickup starts next week, after Canada Day. And city hall staff will be on standby, extending their customer service hours for two weeks to help guide residents through the transition, which includes, for many residents, a change in pickup days. Starting July 2, when the change-over happens, the city’s engineering department hotline will be open for 12 hours a day. Call 604-927-3500 from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. for more information about the new automated system, handled by BFI Canada. For those residents who are unaware, here’s the lowdown with the new municipal collection: • Garbage will be picked up every other week. • Food scraps and yard
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
One of Coquitlam’s new garbage carts, along with a kitchen catcher. trimmings will be picked up weekly. • Recycling will be picked up weekly (by Smithrite, which has been contracted by Multi-Material BC). Items not allowed in the garbage include: recyclables, oil or oil filters, rocks, dirt, sod, pesticides, electronics, medications and pet waste. Tracy Kyle, Coquitlam’s acting manager of environmental services, said doggie doo should be dropped in the toilet and the used bag put in the trash cart; cat solids should also be filtered out and disposed of in the toilet. Residents who repeatedly flout the solid-waste bylaw by placing such
banned waste in their garbage, as well as those who leave their garbage outside the cart or outside the specified times, could face fines up to $1,000. Some other requirements under the new Coquitlam system: • Residents must place their garbage or green waste carts at the curbside between 5:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. on pickup day — not the night before. • Carts must be placed one metre away from each other, and 1.5 m away from any vehicles, with the arrows on the carts pointing toward the road. Residents are asked to review the new collection schedule that is inside the new city carts, which were delivered over the last month along with kitchen catchers (which hold organic waste that can then be transferred to the green waste cart). Kyle said the collection zones have been reorganized for some residents to accommodate the rapidly growing Monday zone in northeast Coquitlam. The zone change affects about 7,400 Coquitlam
PM ponders picking up glass at curb again No depots, says council, let’s look at glass pickup By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody residents frustrated to the breaking point by not being able to put glass in their recycling bins may get some relief if a proposal to establish monthly curbside pickup for breakables goes ahead. On Tuesday, council didn’t act on a staff recommendation that the city set up depots for people to drop off glass, which is no longer accepted in recycling carts under new Multi-Material BC rules. The city’s engineering and park services
COUN. GERRY NUTTALL department has instead been asked for more information on the potential costs and benefits of monthly curbside pickup, at the suggestion of Coun. Gerry Nuttall. Under the plan, which could cost between $20 and $35 a year per household, glass could be placed into a small recycling box at curbside and
collected by city workers. By signing on to MMBC, PoMo saved $500,000 a year in garbage pickup and Nuttall believes simply passing on the savings without considering the inconvenience of glass disposal was shortsighted. “My motion is an attempt to correct this situation,” he said. “By reinstating curbside glass pickup, our residents will once again have a fullservice pickup.” He added that depots for drop-offs could be established as a temporary measure until full pickup can be arranged. Staff are expected to report back on costs of curbside glass pickup at a future meeting, possibly in July or this fall.
homes. To confirm your new collection day, visit coquitlam.ca/curbsidecollection, where you can type in your address to determine your pickup schedule. As for the old garbage cans, the city will be collecting them this fall. But if your can has a 1, 2, 4 or 5 recycling code and you wish to get rid of it earlier, you may take it to Wastech on United Boulevard to be recycled for free. Meanwhile, Coquitlam residents who get city garbage collection will also see a change to their recyclables pickup starting on July 2. The industry group Multi-Material BC is handling the recycling collection in Coquitlam and, Kyle said, under the new weekly system, residents will place at the curb their existing blue boxes and blue and yellow bags, plus the new light-blue box for glass that was delivered along with the new garbage carts. • Visit coquitlam.ca/ trashtalk for information on the new garbage system.

Below are tips to help you enjoy your Canada Day celebration even more! • Pack a lawn chair for easy and convenient seating • Bring a water bottle and have it refilled by Happy Water • Keep your younger family members safe: • Have a plan — spend a few moments showing your kids what to do if they are lost; • Ensure your child has your name and cell number; • Establish a meeting point in case you’re separated; • Always know what your child is wearing. Before leaving, take a picture of your child with a cell phone or digital camera and take it with you. It will help you remember.

CANADA DAY COQUITLAM ON STAGE
Alouest
is a dynamic musical group from Maillardville in Coquitlam. Taking inspiration from groups like La Bottine Souriante and Great Big Sea, Alouest takes great care in representing the stories and traditions of the francophone cultures of North America. Powerful vocal harmonies with guitars, upright base, fiddles, accordian, piano, mandolin, banjo, and an array of folk percussion instruments bring a “West Coast style” to Alouest’s music as it moves from French folk to Celtic, from Bluegrass to Old Time fiddling — and even an occassional sprinkling of Latin and Jazz.

Greg Drummond
’s beginnings as a songwriter are not with the grandeur that many musicians claim to have started with—they are humble and they are honest. Growing terrified with the concept of his monotonous corporate lifestyle, he saved up enough money to live off of for a year and quit his sales job to pursue his passion—a career in music. It was not the perceived glamour of a rock-star’s life that called him to the profession; it was the struggle to earn his living through his art form. Born and raised in Port Moody BC, Greg Drummond’s current music style shows influence from the era of traditional Appalachian Folk music with a modern Southern Rock transformation. Greg’s true strength in music lies in his songwriting. His songs are stories of struggle, adventure, and the crazy experiences of life. Paired with his deep and distinguishing voice and toe-tapping melodies, Greg’s lyricism allows his audience to be transported to a place and time offering them an escape from their comfortable reality.

One Side Band
was founded when a musician and an event planner came together to create a dream-come-true for clients and musicians alike: A seriously rocking, jaw droppingly talented band that can play everything from Sinatra to Macklemore and everything in between. But a band that would never, ever, EVER touch the chicken dance with a 10 foot pole. And to top it all off, it’s at a price that won’t make you gag either.

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Lindi Ortega wrote her first song, Faded Dress at just seventeen. After almost ten years working odd jobs to support her musical ambitions Lindi signed with Last Gang Records and released the two-time Juno nominated album, Little Red Boots in 2011. Her sophomore release, 2012’s Cigarettes & Truckstops was longlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize last year and received much critical acclaim. With a style that has been described as a blend of Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash and Emmylou Harris, Ortega continues to strive for musical excellence. After relocating to Nashville, Tennessee at the end of 2011, Ortega’s most recent recording is heavily influence by her adopted city but also a reminder of her beginnings.

Question of the Week Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into!

Club members are Miata mates for life Stowe, Vermont Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting. The weather is looking favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign. Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club president, Gary Svoboda, talks about the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts. Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first generations Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Stowehof Inn. Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their

annual tour. Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for over 20 years and hasn’t disappointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is just around the corner. The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respective groups and fire up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot –
aka my mother Zsuzsanna Straub – and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. (The car — not us!) Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re
comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy ourselves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free. It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of
Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent! Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees
look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fight. You would have to have superhuman strength to move them. The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instructions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners. Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty. Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors
into ones that open up not out. At breakfast, lunch and dinner, they regale each other with stories of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The camaraderie of those young and young at heart is indisputable. Regardless of background, profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5. Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expected to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did. And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promote the best that life has to offer: the bond of mankind and machine, 167 horsepower at a time. alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca

Honda Odyssey is one very clean machine ‘‘
So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving.
Ian Harwood
’’
with turn-by-turn voice guidance to their chosen destination. The screen also is used for the back-up camera that offers three different views, normal view, wide angle, and top down. Both side sliding doors open automatically via the key fob or a switch on the dash. A 270-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/Windows Media audio playback and seven speakers including a sub-woofer is standard, with a 650-watt and 12-speaker version also available. The i-MID or intelligent Multi information Display has the ability to display your incoming text messages while in park and read them out too you while driving. I had one driving home late one night and it said “your dinner is in the garbage, have a nice day” must have been a glitch. The available rear entertainment system features a huge 16.2-inch screen that includes two wireless headsets with personal surround sound. Safety is paramount with mini-van owners; the Odyssey earned a 2013 IIHS top safety pick and is the only minivan with a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA. It comes standard with vehicle stability assist, side curtain airbags, and active front seat head restraints that are designed to help reduce neck injury in the event of a rear collision. There are also five lower anchors and tethers for children. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes and tire pressure-monitoring system are standard. There’s also an available land departure warning system. It utilizes on-board cameras to determine if you’re drifting too far out of your lane without using your turn signal. The engine is a 3.5 litre, 24 valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 that produces 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The engines
variable cylinder management system allows the engine to run on three, four or six cylinders depending on the requirements. All models receive a 6-speed automatic transmission. The combination makes the drive that much more comfortable and enjoyable. ian.harwood @drivewaybc.ca

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is ready to take you on your next big messy adventure with the kids and it can help you clean up too. The van features the world’s first in-car vacuum system called the HondaVac. It comes complete with a replaceable filter, canister bag, nozzle accessories, and a hose capable of reaching the front seats. I feel a family email coming on. My sister-in-law Cristina has an Odyssey van and has been transporting a full size shop vac and leaf blower around for years. My two nieces make quite a mess, unlike my tidy offspring. Just kidding. But before we get into an interior clean-up, let’s cast an eye over the vehicle’s exterior looks. It has a stylish hood that sweeps down towards the grille. The headlights are angled up and back giving the profile a sculpted look. Honda refers to the overall design as a lightning bolt. Not only does it provide an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third row passengers. Very nice interior, everything laid out nicely. So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving. Eight-passenger seating with a total passenger volume of 4,887 litres, whatever, that means. And all those passengers get thirsty so Honda put in 15 cup holders. The third row is a one-motion 60/40 split ‘Magic’ seat that can accommodate three passengers and still leave 1,087 litres of cargo volume – that’s room for a lot of slushies for later in the journey. The second row is a 3 mode seating with fold down center console. Driver and front passenger seats are captain’s chairs that are very comfortable. My tester included a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, channel selector, cruise control, and handsfree telephone button. The instrument panel is easier to read, thanks to a little tweaks by the engineers. Satellite-linked Navigation screen with trilingual voice recognition, 3D map and FM traffic is also available that uses GPS technology and a 60GB hard drive based operating system that provides the driver

Premier living at Polygon’s Kingston House Heritage-style elegance is at top of mind at Polygon’s Kingston House, a collection of two-bedroom apartment residences in a master-planned community that is inspired by an Ivy League legacy. “You can move in this summer,” says sales manager Judy Rohatyn. “With payments from $899 a month, this is a great opportunity for first-time buyers to purchase a home in the South Surrey market.” Kingston House is the first apartment collection at Polygon’s Harvard Gardens, a master-planned community that is also
close to top schools, golf courses, shopping and dining. “There’s nothing like this anywhere else,” Rohatyn says. “Many parents of first-time buyers recognize the great value and are bringing their kids to Kingston House to assist them in buying their first home.” The homes at Kingston House are spacious and inviting, with over-height ceilings on the main and fourth floor, generous patios or covered decks, and huge windows. Engineered stone countertops in the kitchen are complemented by flat-panelled cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Rich wood laminate
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
flooring is featured throughout the main areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms. Spa-like bathrooms have designerselected imported porcelain tile flooring, engineered stone countertops and a contemporary patterned hand-set ceramic tile tub and shower surround with marble and glass mosaic tile accents. The master ensuite adds another touch of luxury with dual porcelain undermount sinks (most plans) and polished chrome accessories. Outside, the architecture is inspired by the East Coast, with brick cladding, natural wood soffits and black metal detailing. Homeowners at Kingston House will also have access to The Rowing Club; a private residents-only clubhouse featuring over 9,000 sq.ft. of resort-style amenities such as an outdoor pool and spa, gymnasium, fitness facilities, a screening room and other amenities. A resident concierge will be available to assist with your every need, and two fully furnished suites are available for out-of-town guests. Two-bedroom homes start at $259,900.

The Cottages at Seabright Farm are located just minutes from the Lower Mainland, but you’ll easily be able to put your worries aside at your historically inspired cottage in a gorgeous ocean-view location. Tons of amenities are just around the corner, including the Point Roberts Marina.
Feeling the breeze at The Cottages at Seabright Farm By Kerry Vital
The Cottages at Seabright Farm is the largest and newest residential project in Point Roberts. Construction recently started, and Lower Mainland residents are flocking to it to purchase their own private piece of paradise. “You can purchase an ocean-view cottage for less than the price of an average condominium in Vancouver,” says Wayne Knowles of Orca Shores LLC, the project’s
developer. Seabright Farm is comprised of 58 lots spread across 62 acres of gently sloping south-facing waterfront. The large lots (1/4 to 1/2 an acre) offer privacy along with the great views and are located in three distinct zones: the Bluff, the Meadows and the Woodlands. Seabright Farm will also have a barn/community centre, greenhouse, outdoor swimming pool and hot tubs, sauna, community vegetable and flower gardens,
and orchards. The trails are perfect for running, cycling or horseback riding, and offer direct access to the beach. Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase. The cottage plans range from 850 to over 2,500 square feet, in a variety of two-or-morebedroom floor plans. The styles include open floor plans, stone fireplaces, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, large relaxing decks and covered porches. All of the plans give owners the option to expand their cottages in the future, whether it’s with a guesthouse, a studio or a separate master suite. Covered decks and breezeways can be built between the buildings, and garages (complete with guest suites) or potting sheds added to truly make your Seabright cottage your own. The cottage designs have been specifically developed to reflect the historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings typical of Point Roberts. That character is obvious when you visit the sales centre, which is actually an original farmhouse from the 1890s that’s been outfitted with finds from garage sales and Pottery Barn. It will become an additional gathering place for Seabright owners, along with the barn-themed community hall that will be used as a venue for neighbourhood
gatherings, art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances and wine tastings, among many other things! And beyond Seabright Farm, Point Roberts has plenty of other things to do, whether you’re staying for a month, a week or just a weekend. Play a round of golf at the 18-hole Point Roberts Golf and Country Club, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park to see Orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing. The 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just around the beach corner from Seabright Farm, and features sandy bluffs and tidal flats. The full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is also only minutes away. The Point’s unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience. Canadians looking to purchase a cottage at Seabright Farm will be able to secure attractive long-term financing through a U.S. banking institution with 20 per cent down, and a Real Estate Disclosure Statement has been filed in British Columbia. With the opening of the South Fraser Perimeter Road earlier this year and plans to build a new bridge to replace the tunnel on Hwy 99, getting to Point Roberts is becoming that much more convenient from all parts of the Lower Mainland. The pricing at Seabright Farm is also exceptional, with lots starting at $180,000 U.S., while cottage and lot combinations start at $399,000. For more information about The Cottages at Seabright Farm, visit www. seabrightfarmcottages.com, call tollfree at 1-888-732-6915 or email info@ seabrightfarmcottages.com.

A’s face big test against Victoria Top WLA club visits Coquitlam this weekend By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs
The Coquitlam Adanacs are taking on some tough competition when the Victoria Shamrocks come to town this Saturday. The island club has dominated the competition so far this season, winning all but one game to take the stop spot in the Western Lacrosse Association standings. Saturday’s bout will also feature former Adanac Jon Harnett, who left the Coquitlam team for the Shamrocks in 2013. The A’s split a pair of games last weekend and need to make some headway in the WLA standings if they hope to lock up a playoff berth. On Saturday, the squad hosted the second place Langley Thunder, taking a 5-3 loss in front of fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Langley drew first b l o o d wh e n A t h a n Iannucci put the ball past Adanac goalie Adam Shute, but the team evened the scored with a marker from Daryl Veltman before the first 20 minutes ended. Coquitlam briefly
held a lead in the middle frame, when Matt Delmonico scored shorthanded but the Thunder began to pull away later in the period with goals from Brett Baron and Tyler Melynk. Delmonico scored a second shorty in the third but it was not enough to spark the club’s offence, and the team lost 5-3. The club’s offence came alive on Sunday when Coquitlam took on the Nanaimo Timbermen at the Frank Crane Arena. The home team was on its heels for most of the game, with Matthew Dinsdale, Ryan Johnson, Vincent Ricci, Delmonico and Tyler Garrison all scoring in the first period. Coquitlam kept up the pressure in the second with four more goals before Travis Cornwall rounded out the scoring with a third period marker that finished the game 10-4. Schute was able to stop 21 of the 25 shots he faced in the match while the Adanacs managed 52 shots in the game. Saturday’s match against the Victoria Shamrocks will take place at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Faceoff is at 7 p.m. For more information go to www.adanaclacrosse.com. sports@tricitynews.com

Saints dominated in Tri-City match By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs
They both hail from the Tri-Cities but that is where the similarities end between the Port Coquitlam Saints and the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs. Coquitlam showed its dominance in front of their fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex Wednesday
night, decimating the Saints 19-6. Cole Shafer got things started for the Adanacs, scoring a pair of goals one minute apart to kickoff the first period. Johnathan Kraakman scored his lone marker of the game five minutes later, followed by singles from Brett Kujala, Jake Taylor and a pair of goals from Wesley Berg to close out
the opening period. At the other end of the rink, the Saints offence sputtered as the team failed to get on the scoreboard in the opening period and registered only six shots. Coquitlam kept up the pressure in the second period, with Eli McLaughlin scored his first of four goals in the game, while Berg picked up the hat trick with his

third. The Saints managed to score a few of their own, with Gordie Phillips netting a pair of goals in the second. A’ s g o a l i e R i l ey Camazzola stopped 27 of the 33 shots he faced, while Christian DelBianco was perfect in the ten minutes of relief work he got during the game. Bryce Phenix was
chased after the first period, where he let in seven of 19, while Guilio DelBianco stopped 30 of 42 shots he facedin the second and third period. The Jr. A’s currently sit in second place behind New Westminster in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League season with a 17-1-0 record, while the Saints are in last pace at 2-15-1. sports@tricitynews.com

MacKenzie heading to Brazil for Danone Cup By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Reagan MacKenzie will be heading to Brazil to compete in the Danone Nations Cup this fall, a soccer competition for athletes between 10 and 12 years old. The Coquitlam player’s Team West emerged victorious in a 3-1 win over Team East at the Canadian Selection Team finals in Montreal last week, punching their ticket to Sao Paulo. “I can’t even imagine representing my country in the Danone Nations Cup,” she said. “They love soccer in Brazil.” MacKenzie, a Montgomery middle student, tried out for the team six months ago and said she was excited when she made the team, which is made up of Albertan and British Columbian players. Team West fell behind
early in Montreal, with eastern kicker Antony Vilsaint scored the first goal 28 seconds into the match. However, MacKenzie’s squad was able to tie things up later in the game and forced overtime, where the team punched in two more goals for the win. Before heading to South America this fall, the 11-year-old athlete will take part in a three-day training camp in Quebec with head coach Dean Howie. He said the camp will be an opportunity for the players to get ready to take on some of the top soccer talent in the world. “These young athletes… will have an opportunity to play where the top professionals have played,” he said. “This is an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.” sports@tricitynews.com
