What’s the buzz in local parks? Blue skies, sunshine and bees

A walk in the park can be a time to commune with nature. Above, lupins bloom at Castle Park in Port Coquitlam’s Citadel Heights subdivision, a delightful sight for humans and attractive for bees, too.

Not enough rental units, says deacon Evergreen Line development cuts into rental stock

“The city works with the development community when it can… but it really does require that senior levels of government get involved.”

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A deacon from St. Laurence Anglican Church says he is concerned about a lack of affordable housing in Coquitlam and wants the city to create incentives for developers to build more rental units. Steve Bailey, who is also a member of the

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart (left)

Tri-Cities Ministerial Association, told city council on Monday that with new developments being built around Evergreen Line sta-

tions — particularly in Burquitlam — many affordable housing units are being replaced with expensive condominiums and townhouses that current residents can’t afford. “We would like council

to give incentives to encourage mixed housing and healthy neighbourhoods,” he told councillors. “We urge Coquitlam to take a lead in this area.” see COUNCILLOR, page A12

Beaches, booze don’t mix: cops By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Where is Nicola? Mounties and family search for man who went missing last week on Westwood Plateau. See article on page A3

With hot and sunny weather back this week, police will be stepping up enforcement at local beaches. Coquitlam RCMP stepped up its weekend patrols at Buntzen Lake about two weeks ago, said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “It’s really weather dependent because if it’s going to be a cloudy or rainy weekend, we may not do extra patrols, just the regular patrols,” he said. “But if it’s hot and sunny like this weekend, we’re going to put in extra patrols.” He reminded the public that drinking on the beach, impaired driving and drinking on the boat are all prohibited. “We will be out on the water checking boaters,” Chung added. “And when you’re out and about in the boat, make sure you have all the safety equipment and make sure the operator carries the necessary permits.” see COPS CALLED, page A6

SAR stops search but family, police still looking Coquitlam man has been missing since July 3 By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Search and Rescue has suspended its search for Nicola Candeloro, a Coquitlam man who has been missing since July 3, until they have more leads on his location.

NICOLA CANDELORO The 44-year-old left his Westwood Plateau home

sometime between 10 and 11 a.m. last Thursday to go for a walk in the Eagle Mountain area, and was spotted later that afternoon near the playing fields. S A R c r ew s we r e called in on Friday to assist Coquitlam RCMP in the search, with three teams covering a large wilderness area on Eagle Mountain. “We concentrated the search in high-probability areas,” said SAR

search manager Bob Hetherington. “We went to the southeast of the gas plant on the side of the hill... to the first access road and all the way back to the Coquitlam River, and we had another team coming up from the BC Hydro rightof-way.” Crews also searched a small wooded area northeast of Candeloro’s home and, on Saturday, they also combed a large wooded area across the

street from his house, including two high lookout points and a small river valley behind the home. “From the information we got, he’s quite a good walker, he’s in very good shape and he knows the area quite well,” Hetherington said, noting Candeloro often went walking with his dog. “Unfortunately, this time he went out by himself and didn’t come back.”

Hetherington said searchers are concerned Candeloro was not dressed well for the colder, rainy weather over the weekend and he may be suffering from hypothermia. Although Coquitlam SAR suspended its search, Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said Mounties are still investigating and they’re encouraging the public to call them with any information.

Candeloro is described as a 44-year-old Caucasian man with short, salt-and-pepper hair and brown eyes; he is about 5’11” tall and weighs 177 lb., and was last seen wearing a white tank top, grey shorts, white runners and, possibly, sunglasses. Anyone with information is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604945-1550 and quote file number 2014-18211. spayne@tricitynews.com

Library head wants community to hop on the book bus bandwagon Used bus would be cheaper but new would last longer: Gnissios By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

With the backing of a community petition and letters of support from dozens of residents, Coquitlam Public Library (CPL) is launching an appeal to raise money for a book bus to replace one badly damaged by fire in May. The decision to replace the bus at an estimated cost of about $80,000 for a used vehicle comes as the library struggles with ways to reach out to far flung corners of the city, where the population is growing but services aren’t available. CPL director Todd Gnissios said the city’s C o t t on wo o d ne i g hbourhood, where many refugees and newcomers live, and the Burke Mountain neighbourhood, home to young families, both need access to library services and a mobile book bus is one way to deliver them at a relatively low cost. “I passionately believe in the ability of a mobile library to go out in to the community to provide a service to people who can’t get to a library or don’t always think about the library and what it can do for them,” he said.

CPL numbers are up Coquitlam Public Library continues to reinvent itself in the age of digital media and the internet according to recent statistics in its annual report. With numbers that any business would envy, CPL’s report shows increases in the number of virtual and real-life visits as well as members. Some highlights:

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Public Library deputy director Silvana Harwood holds a letter from a patron who relied on the book bus to get access to library services and would like to see it replaced. The bus (shown top right) was badly damaged in a fire in May and the library is launching a campaign to raise funds to purchase a replacement vehicle. The success of the book bus in reaching hard-to-serve neighbourhoods is evident in the statistics, according to Gnissios, who pointed out that last year, the book bus tallied 4,579 patron visits and circulated 13,649 items in just a few hours each week at each location. (In west Coquitlam, the bus stops at Cottonwood Park; in Burke Mountain, the bus goes to Tri-City Family Place on Victoria Drive). Since July 1, the library has been renting a

vehicle at a cost of $500 a month but Gnissios would like CPL to buy a bus as soon as possible. His plan is to find a used replacement vehicle and believes insurance on the old one will cover most of the costs. Still, community donations will be needed to fully outfit the new bus. Gnissios is also seeking interest from a major corporate sponsor to see if it would be possible to purchase a brand new vehicle for about $250,000, a preferable

option because a secondhand vehicle would need to be replaced sooner. Either way, he’s open to cash donations and ideas for funding, and encouraging people to visit www.library.coquitlam.bc.ca to find out more (you can go to the Book Bus Blog on the site to make an online donation). Many community members support the plan: More than 130 people signed a petition calling for a replacement and Gnissios said he

has received cards and letters of support from many residents. The library has even received one donation of $33 from a five-year-old. Once operating, the book bus service could even be expanded to seniors’ care homes, daycares and food banks. That would please Gnissios, who said it’s the library’s mission to reach out to everyone in the community to promote creativity, discovery and knowledge. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

$3.5M for a park field house? Too much, says coun. Three options for Mundy field house By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The replacement of the Mundy Park field

house is necessary but shouldn’t cost millions. That was the message from Coquitlam council to city staff on Monday after it was presented with options for the replacement of the park facility, which the city

hopes to build before the 2016 BC Seniors Games. The three proposals prepared by staff ranged in cost between an estimated $800,000 for a basic washroom facility to an estimated $3.5 million two-storey structure

that could also be used to house a daycare and includes an elevator. Option two, the one staff is recommending, would cost an estimated $1.7 million and would be a 2,700 sq. ft. onestorey structure with a

washroom, storage space and kitchen area. “I would like this to go back to staff,” said Coun. Brent Asmundson. “The amount of cost involved for all three of the options is quite out of line from what I’d be looking at.”

Most councillors agreed. Coun. Craig Hodge said he likes the proposal, particularly the plans for a daycare, but was concerned about the price. “I was quite surprised by the $3.5 million,” he

said. “You could build four houses for that.” City staff told council the prices included in the report were ballpark estimates. Once a design is chosen, a more precise cost would be presented. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Coq. residents are adjusting to trash changes, says city By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

One week into Coquitlam’s new garbage collection service and it’s “so far, so good” according to city staff. “First off, there was lots of changes, and all at once, so we’re very thrilled residents took the time to look at the information provided and try to sort out what’s what and how the new system works,” said Tracy Kyle, the city’s acting manager of environmental services. “That’s helped tremendously in the first week and going into the second week.” The new garbage, recycling and green waste pick-up started on July 2, with changes that included new zones and routes, new recycling rules and a shift from weekly to bi-weekly garbage pick-up. Kyle said that so far, the biggest problem has been residents forgetting to unclip the wildlife locks on their green waste carts — receptacles for yard and kitchen waste — so they can be emptied by the automated trucks. While residents get up to speed on the new system, Kyle said, drivers are getting out to unclip carts and leaving a reminder card behind. “As with all new programs, it will take time to figure out what’s what and what goes where,” Kyle said.“So we’re being accommodating in the first few weeks. We just want people to get their carts out to the road.” The engineering department has been fielding

about 300 calls per day on its hotline, mainly from residents asking about the collection schedule and what materials are accepted in each cart. Many residents are also calling to ask why their garbage still hasn’t been picked up by late in the afternoon. Because drivers are hopping out of the trucks to unclip carts for now, some routes are taking much longer to service, Kyle said, recommending leaving carts out until about 8 p.m. “We’re letting people know to keep their bins out later because the routes are taking longer and drivers may be doing them in a different order,” she said. “Wait a few weeks and you’ll get to know the cycle.” Eight electronic reader boards have been placed throughout the city since June 23 to remind residents about the new garbage system. Most of the boards are expected to be removed this week. The engineering hotline (604-927-3500) will continue to operate from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. this week to answer residents’ questions. The hotline will be available until the end of the month but with shortened hours (6 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Residents are reminded to place their carts at the curb, one metre apart from each other and with the arrows pointing towards the road, between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day. • Visit coquitlam.ca/ trashtalk for more information on the new garbage system. spayne@tricitynews.com

Delay wTe: councillor The city of Coquitlam is calling on Metro Vancouver to delay the construction of any new waste-to-energy facility until more economic and environmental analysis is completed. In passing the motion, Coquitlam joins Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge councils in trying to get the regional district to put the brakes on its garbage incineration proposal. Coun. Craig Hodge put forward the notice of motion at Monday’s council meeting, saying, “I want more answers. I want better answers. I believe the answers will come in time but I didn’t hear them tonight.” Hodge’s initial notice of motion called for a two-year moratorium but the proposal was amended to exclude a defined timeline. In opposing the recommendation, Coun. Mae Reid told council that years worth of work has been done in choosing waste-to-energy technology for the region’s garbage disposal. “This is where we got to,”she said.“There has been a lot of time and money and expertise put into this.”

SD43 looking for help with land RFP issued for a ‘land value capture team’ By Diane Strandberg The TRi-CiTy News

School District 43 is seeking expert advice as it wades into the world of real estate sales and land development for four surplus school properties.

nine lots at Victoria Park, both in Coquitlam. SD43 secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari confirmed the district has issued a request for proposals for a “land value cap-

ture team” on the BC Bid website and is looking to pre-qualify a firm that it can call upon for help as it works through various required processes. “We can use it for other projects, as well, if we can find a qualified firm,” said Ferrari, who said the district still has a lot of work to do before it can dispose of the lands that were identified last fall as surplus to the district’s needs. Finding a firm with the right expertise is the next phase in a long-term plan to make use of the district’s assets to help fund other needed schools. Last October, the district consulted with the community on various

proposals and in January voted to sell a portion of Parkland elementary fields, work with the city of Coquitlam on an agreement for a portion of Victoria Park, sell Coronation Park, which was closed several years ago, and move Moody elementary school to the current location of Moody middle after that school is rebuilt at the back of the property at St. Johns and Buller streets. Coquitlam council has already rezoned and changed the official community plan to allow the northeast portion of Parkland elementary to be subdivided for eight single-family homes. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Cops called to beaches continued from front page

As well, Port Moody Police Const. Luke van Winkel said officers will be patrolling White Pine Beach to ensure a safe, family-friendly experience for beach-goers. “Every summer, the Port Moody Police deal with over 100 calls for service to the beach alone,” van Winkel said, noting most calls stem from incidents related to alcohol, including drinking and driving, assaults, public intoxication, causing a disturbance and drinking in public. “If you are planning a trip to the beach, please leave your liquor at home,” van Winkel said, adding beach-goers should not leave valuables in their vehicles or unattended on the beach. He also reminded the public that parking can be limited and police and bylaw officers will be enforcing parking regulations along the roadways leading to the beach. spayne@tricitynews.com

Purse snatchers on the prowl Coquitlam RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying a pair of suspects in two pursesnatching incidents. On May 10, police believe the suspects followed a 58-year-old woman and secretly recorded her credit card’s access code when she made a purchase. They then followed her home, where the suspects distracted her by asking for water for an overheating engine in their black Honda.

She went inside to get the water to help the “stranded” couple, after which she started unloading groceries from her car. As the duo was leaving, they asked for more water in case the engine overheated again; the victim went inside for more water but when she came out, the pair had vanished along with her purse. The woman immediately contacted the bank to cancel her credit and debit cards but was told one of the cards had al-

ready been used several times to withdraw cash. The pair is believed to have struck again in Coquitlam on June 8 using the same strategy to allegedly steal the purse of a 67-year-old woman. Once again, cash was withdrawn from the woman’s account just minutes after the theft. The male suspect is described as Caucasian, about 35 years old and approximately 6’ tall; he was described as having greasy, black hair and

wearing a white shirt and jeans. Images obtained from CCTV cameras at the two ATMs in question are of the same man, police believe. The female suspect in the first incident is described as being about 25 years old and wearing a tight white shirt and jeans. In the second incident, she’s described as being about 15 to 16 years old, of average height with a medium build and long,

With school buses cut, Burke Mt. parents are looking at alternatives “We need to find out how many people would be able to pay for the service, plus a parent committee to run it.”

Some parents on Burke Mountain in Coquitlam are looking for ways to transport their children to school after the local board of education decided to cut school busing to help balance its budget. The parents are looking at either chartering a private bus or promoting a TransLink pass; as well, a survey distributed via email is asking parents which they prefer. A monthly TransLink concession bus pass would cost $52 while, if enough people sign up, a chartered bus would cost $50 a month paid in instalments of $250 before each of the fall and spring terms. “We’re taking a proactive, solution-based approach. This is what we’re facing: How are

Craig Hodge we going to make this work?” said Craig Hodge, a Coquitlam councillor who said the initiative is not a city project but a private effort. Hodge said the information from the survey could be used to encourage TransLink to increase frequency or enhance service, particularly north of David Avenue and in Burke Mountain’s eastern neighbourhoods.

Councillor calls on developers to build rental housing units continued from front page

Bailey commended developer Blue Sky Properties for including 57 new rental units in its Burquitlam development but said there is still a loss of 45 units in the neighbourhood — and he believes the rents will be higher than current rates. He said the city has done good work You can comment on in housing the homeany story you read at less with its commitwww.tricitynews.com ment to the cold/wet weather mat program and the construction of a homeless shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave. but more consideration needs to be given to low-income people who may not be homeless, Bailey added. Most councillors were sympathetic to his concerns. Mayor Richard Stewart said that while the city is currently working on an affordable housing strategy, municipal governments are limited in what they can do when its comes to such issues. “Local government is challenged because we don’t have the tools,” he said. “The city works with the development community when it can… but it really does require that senior levels of government get involved.” Many of the apartments that currently house residents in the Burquitlam area were built 25 to 40 years ago, when the federal government had a fund to subsidize rental housing, said Coun. Mae Reid. A similar program at the provincial or federal level would go a long way toward increasing the rental stock in the community, she said. But Coun. Chris Wilson said cities have been waiting for help from higher levels of government for a long time and noted there are things local governments can do, for example mandating a percentage of all units built in the municipality be dedicated as rental housing. “That is a tool that cities have,” he said.“If developers would build 10 to 20 units and sprinkle them around a development, they would have no problems.”

Families with younger elementary school children might benefit from a chartered bus service for safety and security reasons because the pick-up and drop off would be closer to home, he said. The survey also asks if people are interested in carpooling, with the idea of matching people who might want this type of program. Hodge said parents,

particularly of younger children, are especially worried about how their kids will get from school because they commute and can’t get there by 3 p.m. while many daycare operators aren’t set up to pick up students from school. For these families, the chartered bus service might be the best option, Hodge said, although it would take some work to organize and maintain. “We need to find out how many people would be able to pay for the service, plus a parent committee to run it.” Hodge said a chartered bus system could be a temporary solution until an elementary school is built on Burke Mountain in about four years while improved transit to the area would be a boon to the entire community as well as middle and high school

Look through ‘gender lens,’ council is told Young women at Coquitlam hall By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTY News

Fish-friendly

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

ort Moody city council will soon be asked to make a small zoning bylaw amendment that could be good news for fish. It may seem crazy to link city bureaucracies with tiny coho smolts but the work city governments do can be effective in either preserving or destroying important fish habitat. In Port Moody’s case, the city’s land use committee is recommending fish hatcheries be considered an appropriate use in the Public Service P1 Zone, which is usually reserved for schools, parks and recreational facilities. If approved, Mossom Creek Hatchery, which is now being rebuilt on city land, would no longer be an outsider in the city’s list of approved uses but would be recognized as a valuable contributor to PoMo’s social, cultural, environmental and recreational wellbeing. There is no doubt Mossom Creek is as valuable to the city as any other civic facility. It has raised generations of fish to restock the creek and created thousands of stream stewards over the years, many of them Centennial high school students who have gone on to work in the field after graduation. The work hatchery volunteers do is not restricted to the creek, however, as the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society also works with other partners to preserve and protect the Port Moody inlet. There is no doubt that legitimizing the hatchery is long overdue. It has been 39 years since founders Ruth Foster and Rod MacVicar started the project to educate students about the importance of preserving the environment. A blaze that burned down the hatchery in December may be the catalyst for righting this wrong and ensuring the hatchery is a permitted use in the city. Equally important, the change may also encourage the development of other hatcheries on existing P1 lands in Port Moody. In short, the inclusion of a few words in the city’s bylaw could have long-term benefits for the city in particular and B.C.’s salmon population generally.

Fletcher’s brief history of B.C. aboriginal treaty talks BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm Social Credit government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point, the textbook departs from the

facts and leads its freshman pupils into leftwing dogma. McGillivray writes:“When the [BC] Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem.’” “Commentators”in the above quote is, of course, only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver Sun columnist Stephen Hume. This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900. Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The pur-

pose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government“should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial

jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical“indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

The Editor, Kinder Morgan is trying to convince the public to accept its plan to twin the Trans Mountain Pipeline to expand its capacity. I tried to learn of its scientific evidence by attending the meeting June 25 at Port Moody city hall. I am convinced the plan is still premature in the tactics to deal with accidental leakages or spills. Kinder Morgan is certainly not ready to proceed nor will there be future action without putting our environment at risk. (And the explanation by Kinder Morgan representatives always ended up emphasizing the economic benefits and increased number of jobs.) For example, when there is a spill or a leakage, the emergency response time is an average of 60 minutes but they didn’t say what will happen during this critical 60 minutes. If oil leaks in water, they claimed, crude or refined oil does not mix with

But living creatures in the ocean are much more sensitive than they think. What we really worry about is the contamination to the natural habitations as they are affected immediately with such toxins. Kinder Morgan and its supporters are just trying to push their business to create their profit rather

than seriously consulting with the public based on the scientific facts. We need to stop damaging nature with any dangerous materials. In fact, many advanced countries are trying to develop new, less contaminating power sources. I don’t know how many more years we need oil or coal for our energy source but I firmly believe it is our duty to develop a cleaner form of energy. Kiyoshi Takahashi, Coquitlam

learning fund isn’t the answer in B.C. The Editor, I keep hearing government representatives referring to the Learning Improvement Fund as if it is some kind of resolution to the class size and composition problem. They seem confused as to why teachers aren’t appreciative of this fund. They don’t mention the fact that the Learning Improvement Fund (LIF) is not funding that is reliable, predictable or stable. Nor do they mention that the LIF has to be ap-

Granny, boy are thrilled at gift of a bike The Editor, Last Friday, I was at Sun Valley Park in Port Coquitlam with my grandson. While we were playing at the playground, a man approached us pushing a small boy’s bike. He wanted to know if my grandson had a bike. When I told him “no,” he said his twin sons had outgrown their little bikes and asked if I would like this bike. I was so taken aback. What a kind gesture on his part. The bike was like brand new. He even had a bag with the training wheels in it. I just want to thank him again. My grandson was so happy he wouldn’t get off the bike. I hope I will have the opportunity to repay someone else with a random act of kindness. Susan Hyde, Port Coquitlam

any funding at all? And they always have to remember that the LIF is NOT to replace staffing that has been cut — they have to be careful not to even allude to that fact while doing their best to show that their students have legitimate needs. And the government is wondering why teachers aren’t happy with the Learning Improvement Fund? Helen Boulanger, Coquitlam

made locally and those made locally through our procurement process. The $100-million estimate referenced was, in fact, a total of all the payments issued by the city to an address in Coquitlam. Analysis of our procurement records indicates that “contracts awarded” to Coquitlambased suppliers and businesses — i.e., those contracts specifically awarded through the procurement process — is

just over $52 million over the past three years, an average of approximately $17 million per year. We apologize for any confusion that may have occurred as a result of the original figures reported. And we look forward to the opportunity to meet with local businesses and share more information on the City’s procurement process at the workshop this fall.

Proposal to Watch your twin natural turns in area gas pipeline of North Rd. By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

A proposal to twin a natural gas pipeline between Squamish and the Coquitlam watershed is expected to receive an environmental assessment certificate by October and could be operational by 2015, according to a FortisBC spokesperson. James Lota, a business development manager with the natural gas company, told city council Monday that upgrades would also be necessary at the Eagle Mountain compressor station in Coquitlam. FortisBC wants to twin its existing 52 km line between the north end of the Coquitlam watershed and a small-scale liquefied natural gas project at the Woodfibre industrial site in Squamish. The work is required, the company said, in order to improve efficiency in its pipeline system. But city manager Peter Steblin told Lota during the meeting that as a host community, Coquitlam would be looking for co-operation with the company on an amenity project. “We certainly are aware of the need for large infrastructure projects by a variety of entities,” Steblin said. “At the same time, we are affected as the host for these kinds of projects. We firmly believe that

companies such as Fortis need to give something back to the host communities.” Steblin noted that FortisBC will be using leased land that is designated by the city of Coquitlam as park space. He said the city would be looking for a commitment from the company to help improve the trail network in the area. The city could also expect to see an increase in tax revenue estimated at a couple hundred thousand dollars per year, said Sheena McLeod, the city’s manager of financial services. Several public consultations have taken place already on the proposal and Lota said changes have been made to the project as a result. For example, the expanded compressor station was initially expected to be gas-powered. Because of concerns from residents about noise and greenhouse gas emissions, he said FortisBC will now build an electric-powered facility. “They didn’t want 4 0 , 0 0 0 h o r s e p owe r drives because of noise and emissions.” The current compressor station at Eagle Mountain produces approximately 21,000 horsepower. The project requires the addition of 35,000 horsepower, meaning two new compressors will be built.

evergreen Line construction is affecting traffic patterns

Traffic changes are coming to the North Road and Cottonwood Avenue area as part of Evergreen Line construction. Starting this week, crews will be removing and installing curbs to establish traffic pattern changes for Cottonwood. For approximately two weeks, while the roadworks are underway, drivers can expect the following traffic pattern changes: • no right turn on to Cottonwood from the northbound lanes of North Road; • no right turn on to North Road from westbound lanes of Cottonwood; • and local residents may need to use Foster Avenue and Whiting Way to access Cottonwood while work is underway. Drivers may experience daytime lane closures on North Road/Clarke Road between Foster and Smith avenues as well as temporary parking restrictions on North Road and Cottonwood. Once the work is complete, the permanent traffic changes mean drivers heading north on North Road will still be able to make right turns on to Cottonwood but drivers travelling west on Cottonwood will not be able to access North Road. Eastbound and westbound traffic along Cottonwood will be maintained east of Whiting Way. Construction of the elevated guideway in the North Road area should be complete by the end of this summer. Once it’s finished, the launching truss will be dismantled and then reassembled to build the elevated guideway along Pinetree Way. Road reconstruction along Clarke Road and North Road — including median construction, street light and signal work, utility works, paving and landscaping — will be ongoing until the fall. The hours of work will be mainly 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Saturday, but there may be some overnight work to minimize traffic impacts. • For more information contact EGRT Construction at 604-927-4452 or info@evergreenline.gov.bc.ca.

Burke plans delayed Plans to re-designate a 35-acre piece of land in Burke Mountain that was to be the site of a middle school/community centre and single-family homes to higher-density townhouses is being put on hold so that further public consultation can take place. City manager Peter Steblin made the announcement during Monday’s council meeting, noting that significant concerns from residents means the proposal is not ready for a public hearing, which was expected to take place on July 28. Last month, The Tri-City News reported that residents in the Smiling Creek neighbourhoods were circulating a petition to stop the city from changing lands designated for a middle school and community centre to mostly townhouses. The increased density, some residents said, would limit green space and increase traffic congestion in the area. Some of those concerns, Steblin said Monday night, are based on a“misunderstanding of what is actually happening.” He said that School District 43 no longer wants the land for a school, preferring to build in the nearby Partington Creek neighbourhood. An item outlining the current status of the land use designation will be coming to council in two weeks, Steblin said, but the public input opportunity will be delayed. “We are not recommending that we pursue this opportunity at this time,”he said.“There will be more than enough opportunities for people to get their concerns known.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

ere are some books to keep your kids busy reading this summer: • Axel Storm: Polar Peril by Shoo Rayner: Axel is no ordinary kid, although his parents are doing their best to raise him like one. His mom and dad are members of a popular band, Stormy Skies, and Axel travels the world with them while they are on tour. In this book, Stormy Skies travels to the Arctic to make a music video. Axel checks into the ice hotel with his folks and then learns that his uncle is actually studying glaciers and climate change nearby. His parents agree to let Axel join his uncle while they are working; they think it’ll be good for him to escape the paparazzi. Axel might be leaving the paparazzi but he’s definitely not getting out of harms way. Melting glaciers and hungry polar bears await him at his uncle’s research station.This is a fun series for kids who are just starting to read chapter books. • Giants Beware by Jorge Aguirre: Claudette isn’t afraid of anything — not the bullies who tease her, not her father and definitely not a giant that eats babies. When the rest of her town is in hysterics over the return of the giant, Claudette decides she will be the next giant slayer. Prepping for a giant-killing mission is difficult. First, she needs to form a hunting party, then lie to convince her wannabeprincess friend Marie and her food-obsessed little brother Gaston to join her. She also has to steal her father’s map and giant-killing supplies. When her father’s friend gives her some protective magic Claudette thinks this mission will be a breeze. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know that a killer forest, a cursed witch and a mad king stand in her way.This graphic novel has witty dialogue, colourful pictures, and is a great adventure story for kids eight to 12 years old. • Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu: Hazel doesn’t fit in. Her imagination and sense of wonder used to be praised by the teachers at her old school. When her mom and dad get divorced, she moves to a new school, where she has trouble sitting still and paying attention. Luckily, her best friend Jack goes to the same school.They play

made-up games and read together at recess. But suddenly, Jack stops being nice to Hazel. Her mother says that sometimes in the fifth grade, boys don’t want to be friends with girls anymore. Hazel can’t believe this is true. When she hears a strange story about Jack going into the woods with a witch, Hazel knows she’s the only one who can save him.The quest takes her into a mysterious other world. A beautiful blend of realism and fantasy, Breadcrumbs is a great read any kid ages nine to 12 years who believes there is more to our world than meets the eye. • The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith: Sixteen-yearold Lucy Patterson has lived in NewYork City her whole life and loves it. Owen Buckley just moved to NewYork with his dad and is not settling in. Owen would rather be living in the country than the busy city. Owen’s mother recently died in a car accident. Out of work and grieving, his dad took a job managing the apartment building that Lucy lives in with her family. Lucy and Owen finally meet when they are trapped in the elevator during a city-wide blackout.They spend one night together on the roof of their apartment building and discover that although they feel differently about NYC, they have an intense connection. When the power comes back on, their lives quickly change. Owen and his father decide to move out West while Lucy and her parents move to Edinburgh. As they move further and further apart, their connection remains strong. But how long can postcards and emails keep them together? A sweetly sad romance for teens looking for a more gentle The Fault in Our Stars. Visit your local public library for these and other great books.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Dana Ionson works at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Library.

Storage tips offer pet owners good food for thought Storage tips offer pet owners good food for thought Put your hand up if you routinely check expiration dates on the food you buy. For many of us, that is just common sense. So, too, is properly storing food once we get it home. If you’re a pet owner, though, can you say the same for the food you buy for your dog or cat? Correct storage of pet food is extremely important to keep it fresh and to ensure the well-being of your pet. Here’s how: • Start by choosing a high quality pet food for your dog or cat. Ensure their products meet very high manufacturing standards and that recipes are crafted using the highest quality ingredients. • Store kibble in a cool, dry location. Avoid areas like basements or open containers where condensation or temperature changes can

encourage mold growth. Canned food should be covered and can be kept in the refrigerator for three to five days. It also can be frozen, but move it into ice cube trays or another freezable container first. • Avoid storing pet food in reusable plastic containers, unless the food is left in the bag. Plastic containers may not be airtight and the material itself can absorb fat and oils, increasing the risk of food becoming rancid. • Refrigerate or discard any uneaten canned food immediately. • Store pet food away from young children and from pets themselves. Don’t allow pets near an open or empty bag of food, which can be a safety concern. • Check best before dates on pet food, which are sometimes found on the back of the bag or on the bottom of the can.

MANFRED KRAUS

HEALING PLACE

A Tri-City photographer has captured scenes from Riverview Hospital, a 102-year-old site in Coquitlam that is undergoing a visioning exercise by BC Housing. Manfred Kraus was commissioned by ArtsConnect — the TriCities’ arts council — to snap images of the grounds, in particular the therapeutic nature of the trees. “Some of these trees are rare and were imported and planted in the early days when Riverview was first founded,” Kraus writes. “These trees are majestic and can command an imposing presence.” His photo essay will be on show at Port Coquitlam city hall until August.

Kids’ book by Bublé celebrates differences By Wanda Chow

BLACK PRESS

t’s been a whirlwind last few weeks for Coquitlam’s Brandee Bublé since her first children’s book, O’Shae The Octopus, launched last month. She’s done countless interviews for TV, radio, newspapers and magazines here and in Toronto. And she’s even getting requests for her autograph. “People are like, ‘I hate to bug you…’ I’m like, ‘Bug me? Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? That doesn’t bug me, I’m so excited’ … I’m over the moon.” Brandee, 36, says with a laugh that for 12 years she’s gotten used to people asking her to get them the autograph of her big brother, music superstar Michael Bublé.

Now it’s her signature they want.“It makes me laugh. I can’t believe it.” Brandee, like her family, has deep roots in Burnaby. She attended Seaforth elementary and graduated from Cariboo Hill secondary. Before she became a stay-at-home mom, she worked with special needs students, including a seven-year stint at Maywood elementary. That’s where she started honing her storytelling skills. Brandee would write stories for her students, sometimes with rhymes, as a fun way to help them learn. Then when she had her own kids — son O’Shae, 11, and daughter Jayde, nine — she’d always read bedtime stories to them but would promise to make up a few of her own too. “So many of these stories were made up in my kids’ beds and as soon as they fell asleep

I’d run and write down all the ideas I’d put down. That’s how they were made.” She has 15 stories now and the publisher is turning it into a series dubbed “One of a Kind Books.” They all have a similar theme. “They’re all different animals that have something that sets them apart from other animals, but they realize by embracing it they can be pretty cool,”Brandee said. “As a mom, I love books that have messages, I love books you can start discussion around.” The first in the series, O’Shae the Octopus, centres on an octopus who has 10 arms instead of eight and includes themes such as bullying. In addition to her work with special needs students, Brandee drew on her own experience having been diagnosed with dyslexia

in Grade 1. Back then, schools held such students back, so she did Grade 1 twice, much to her embarrassment. And just last year, her daughter Jayde was also diagnosed with dyslexia. “I love that this book, for my kids, is a representation that the label never stopped me from doing what I always dreamed of. Look, I’ve got a book out.” But Brandee stressed her stories are not just about kids with special needs. “I mean, if you have red hair, or freckles or glasses. My son had glasses. I remember him feeling out of place for a bit. “I constantly tell my kids, if you believe in you, other people will too. So be confident, walk tall and nobody will think twice.” see BIG BROTHER, page A21

COURTESY OF PLACE DES ARTS

Peggy VanderWart Stel will show Wiigit and the Family Tree (above) and Woodland Treasure (below) in her new exhibit at Coquiltam’s Place des Arts this and next month.

Painter creates a canvas within By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Peggy VanderWart Stel has an unconventional way of presenting her paintings. The Penticton artist, who will open a new exhibition at Place des Arts in Coquitlam tomorrow (Thursday), likes to create unique canvases by cutting a hole in the big picture to fit a smaller image within. “That’s where I get the most intrigue from viewers,” she said, “because it’s a different style.” But her play on the diptych or triptych canvases isn’t the only draw

for her audience. About two years ago, VanderWart Stel started employing bold West Coast themes such as First Nations images — masks, totem poles — that have struck a chord, especially in the Okanagan. Since 2012, VanderWart Stel has exhibited 20 times including at the Nk’Mip Wine Cellars; she is also represented by the adjoining Spirit Ridge Resort and Spa. “Whenever I’m in Vancouver for a visit, I go to the UBC Museum of Anthropology and get a lot of ideas for my art,”

she said. “There’s always something that speaks to me.” A native of Richmond, VanderWart Stel left the coast in 1989 for Penticton after obtaining a fine arts diploma; however, she continues to show regularly at the Granville Island gallery run by the Federation of Canadian Artists, a group that she joined in 2011.

Coquitlam’s Brandee Bublé started honing her storytelling skills while working with special needs students. She’s just published her first children’s book.

Big brother Michael wrote the foreword continued from page A19

Michael wrote the foreword of the book and described how he identifies with O’Shae. He was listening to the likes of Frank Sinatra in the ‘80s when it wasn’t exactly considered cool. “But now he realizes it didn’t make him weird, it made him pretty special because now he’s got something that not a lot of people have,” Brandee said. “He’s taken that genre and it’s reborn through him.” Along with O’Shae being named after her son, Lanny the Lobster is named after her brotherin-law and Mean Mike the Manta Ray is named after Michael. She stressed he’s not a bully. “But he is my older brother, so if you asked me at five years old I probably would’ve said yes. He forced me to play hockey a lot if that counts,”she said with a laugh. “We would go in the garage and he would make me and my little sister [Crystal] stand in goal. We would just have to stand there as he shot, not pucks, but tennis ball after tennis ball after tennis ball.” Michael has “taken us along for

Brandee Bublé’s first children’s book, O’Shae the Octopus, is the first of a series written by the Coquitlam mom. the ride” of his tremendous success, said Brandee, who is not naive about the benefits of his celebrity. She realizes there will always be people who downplay her accomplishment as a children’s author because of her brother’s fame. “You know what? I’m not too proud or dumb ... I’m not going to say, no, it didn’t help me. Of course it did, it got my foot in the door … but hopefully it’s my words that have taken me farther.”

And if she needed any further validation, who better to give it than Bruce Allen, the straight-talking manager she now shares with Michael? “He said to me, ‘Kid, I don’t know anything about kids books, but I know this is good. And don’t think I’m stupid enough to take this just because you’re Michael Bublé’s sister because that would just make me look stupid.’” Work has already started on the second book in the series, Jayde the Jaybird (named after her daughter this time) which should be released in the summer of 2015. Meanwhile, she’s been nurturing the proud momma side of her life. When Brandee received her first advance copies of the book, Jayde asked to read it to her class. Knowing how hard her daughter has worked with a special tutor to overcome her own dyslexia made it an extra special moment that brought Brandee to tears. “To see her read my book that day, it was amazing. And she was so proud.” wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Coquitlam Adanacs runner Jeff Sproule defends the crease during a Western Lacrosse Association game against the Victoria Shamrocks on Saturday night at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Adanacs fall to ‘Rocks during home coming Coquitlam A’s struggle against Victoria, the WLA’s top squad By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs

The Vi c t o r i a Shamrocks showed Coquitlam lacrosse fans why they are the top ranked team in the country right now. The Western Lacrosse Association’s No. 1 club defeated the Adanacs 8-5 during Home Coming

Night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex Saturday night. Coquitlam put up a tough fight, but were never able to take control against the highpowered Shamrocks offence. Adanacs top-scorer Brett Hickey was the first to light up the scoreboard when he buried a pass from Ryan Keith in the opening minute of the game. However, as the period wore on, it was clear that scoring on the visitors would not be easy.

Vi c t o r i a ’ s S c o t t Ranger tied the game at one goal each, while Mitch McLaren snagged the go-ahead goal for the Rocks. Ranger, who went on to score a hat trick in the match, rounded out the first period scoring with an unassisted marker on the power play. Coquitlam’s Matthew Dinsdale scored five minutes into the middle frame to make it 3-2, but Shamrocks forward Karsen Leung restored the two-goal lead before the period ended.

Victoria ran into some penalty trouble in the third period, which allowed the Adanacs to even the score. Matt Delmonico scored a power play marker for the home team two minutes into the final frame before Brandon Goodwin scored two in a row on a power play, both times assisted by Darryl Veltman, who had five points in the game. But Victoria still had some offence left.

The Port Moody Storm are provincial champions after the team defeated the Saanich Fusion FC in the cup finals at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex on Sunday. The game was a hard-fought battle in the rain, but the Storm prevailed 1-0, with the lone goal coming off a penalty kick in the 55th minutes of the game. Maddie Low scored the only goal, while Ella Sutton secured the shutout in

Defenders Maya Lewis and Jenna Patterson were instrumental in keeping the Fusion forward out of the Storm’s end, particularly during the opposition’s push to tie in the final minutes of the game. Th e p rov i n c i a l title caps off an undefeated season for the Storm, which went 16-0-2 and only allowed three goals against all year. sports@tricitynews.com

Ranger scored his third of the match with seven minutes left to make it 6-5, before Rhys Duch and Chris Wardle each added insurance markers. Adanacs goalie Adam Shute stopped 41 of 49 shots he faced, while Matt Flindell got the win at the other end of the rink, stopping 41 of 46 shots. Coquitlam had better luck on Thursday when the club visited the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Queen’s Park Arena. New West jumped

out to a 2-1 lead early in the third, but singles from R y a n Johnson HICKEY a n d Brett Hickey helped the Adanacs to a 3-2 lead after the first 20 minutes. Hickey, who ended the game with three goals, extended the lead early in the second, before teammates Daryl Veltman scored on the power play to make it 5-2. The Salmonbellies were able to find their

footing midway t h ro u g h the seco n d , w h e n the club quickly SHUTE t i e d the game with three unanswered goals off the sticks of Sean Robinson, Jordan McBride and Keegan Bal. H o weve r, the Adanacs took over the game in the final period. The club’s defence shut down the Salmonbellies attack while a patient offence managed to find the

back of the net. Johnson scored his second of the game early in the third, before Dinsdale and Vincent Ricci added insurance markers to take the game 9-6 for the visitors. Shute stopped 44 of the 50 shots he faced in the win, while Veltman was named the first star of the game. Coquitlam will play its next home game on Saturday when the club hosts the Nanaimo Timbermen. The faceoff is set for 7 p.m. at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. sports@tricitynews.com
