Play time for bears
A board ban? Not so fast: mayor
A pair of bears had fun playing — and cooling off — last weekend in a pond between the Coquitlam River and Shaughnessy Street (between David and Lincoln avenues), where they were spotted by a local with a camera.
By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A plan to ban skateboarding and l o n g b o a rd i n g o n Coquitlam streets and sidewalks will go back to the drawing board after public backlash. The proposed bylaw changes were part of a number of amendments to the city’s traffic and streets bylaw considered at a council meeting earlier this month. It was intended as a proactive move to improve pedestrian and traffic safety but was seen by some as a heavyhanded reaction to a relatively minor issue. “You don’t just outlaw something,” said Jeff Cole, vice-president of the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition. “You work with the youth, you work with the skate shops and you come up with a reasonable solution.” “At a time when

Big houses bad neighbours? PoMo to look at ideas for older neighbourhoods By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
As petite bungalows come down along Port Moody’s Ioco Road
corridor and much larger homes go up, Pleasantside residents are finding that one of the most feared sightings in their neighbourhood isn’t the local wildlife — it’s a “For Sale” sign. People who have treasured their views of Burrard Inlet for decades are now looking at tall,
expansive walls. Sunny gardens home to flowers and vegetable patches are now shrouded in shade. One after the other, Pleasantside residents and, to a lesser extent, those from Glenayre as well, spoke at a town hall meeting Tuesday evening at PoMo city hall, plead-
ing with council and staff to change the building bylaws — as quickly as possible — to prevent any more “monster” homes from going up. “It’s a very emotional issue,” said Tara McIntosh, a Jacobs Road resident who helped initiate the “Good Neighbour Bylaw”group.
Fighting back tears, she described the tremendous stress families are going through as they watch homes built in front of theirs, most often without any consultation with or regard for the neighbours around them. see ‘GRADE’, page A9

Clipping fins will help track salmon Volunteers with the Hyde Creek Watershed Society clipped the adipose fins on more than 6,000 coho fry earlier this month at the society’s education centre and hatchery, located just off Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam. The purpose of the clipping is to identify hatchery fish to Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff as well as sports fishers. It will also help the society spot its salmon when they eventually return to Hyde Creek as adults to spawn.

AnDRA GHIORGHITA
Husband is charged in wife’s death By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
The victim of Tuesday morning’s homicide in Port Coquitlam has been identified as 38-year-old Andra Ghiorghita. Her husband, 38-year-old Irinei Catalin Ghiorghita, has been charged with second-degree murder. Police were called to the townhouse complex on Davies Avenue at 8:45 a.m. for reports of an unresponsive woman. Paramedics and firefighters were unable to revive the woman and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Neighbour Asha Dickinson told The Tri-City News that officers banged on the front door and shouted, “Everybody on your knees,” as they broke down the front door. S/Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said a man was arrested on murder-related charges but couldn’t say whether he was arrested at the scene. A neighbour said the family living in the unit are renters and have a young boy. He’s been in Romania with his grandparents for part of the summer. Andra Ghiorghita was working towards her Certified General Accountant designation and was working as an accountant at Imperial Metals Corporation. Irinei Ghiorghita made his first appearance at BC Provincial Court in Port Coquitlam Wednesday afternoon and will next be in court on July 31. spayne@tricitynews.com
Mossom Creek Hatchery volunteers are closing a major fundraising gap in their goal to have a hatchery running this fall. At a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday, it was revealed that only $200,000 is still needed to outfit the building that will replace the hatchery and education centre that burned down in December now that crucial building funds are either in place or earmarked for construction. “The good news is that we will start construction on schedule, with site preparation in August and concrete work beginning in September,” said Pat Dennett, the project manager who is spearheading the building team for the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society (BIMES), which runs the hatchery. Dennett said new developments in the last few days — including potential changes to an insurance settlement and a $75,000 grant offer from the Imperial Oil Company plus $25,000 raised at a fundraising gala Sunday in Port Moody — will enable BIMES to achieve its goal of having the hatchery operational by January. The news was greeted with enthusiasm by vol-

A ceremonial groundbreaking was held Thursday for the rebuilding of the Mossom Creek Hatchery, which was destroyed by fire last December.
MOSSOM CREEK HATCHERY PROJECT unteers, politicians, business and community leaders who gathered at the site of the hatchery next to the creek for the ceremonial event. But $200,000 still must be raised, Dennett noted, including $75,000 by Sept. 15 to secure the Imperial Oil Grant. Dennett remained positive about the project’s financial situation, however, and its ability to meet its goal to have a hatchery running by January. “The bottom line is that we are a lot closer to meeting our funding goals,” Dennett told the crowd. Thursday’s ground-
breaking was as much a celebration of nature as it was an official event. Speakers noted the beauty of the area and the importance of looking after it. George Assaf, BIMES vice-president, said it was a shock to see the building go up in flames in December and it is a relief to see the project coming together now. Working at the hatchery at “nature’s doorstep” is an important part of “our nourishment,” he said.“It feeds us.” Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay made a similar assertion, saying, “We live in the most beautiful place on Earth and all we are
asked to do is take care of it.” Port Moody-WestwoodPort Coquitlam MP James Moore said the new hatchery will be an improvement on the previous building, which wasn’t up to current code and other standards, and will be used to educate future generations about the importance of looking after salmon. Noting that he was born in 1976, the year Mossom was started by then-Centennial secondary school teachers Rod MacVicar and Ruth Foster, Moore pointed out the fire that destroyed the original building will be a “hiccup” in the “sweep of history that is the hatchery.” The amount of corporate sponsorship is also important to note, Moore said. “This is what good corporate citizenship looks like.” One of the highlights
of the event was a speech by Ella Green, who described how “devastated” she was when she heard the hatchery had burned down because it was a place to learn about fish and the forest, and to share the knowledge with her friends. Ruth Foster, who is helping spearhead the redevelopment project, said the groundbreaking was an important milestone and signifies that the rebuilding effort is well on its way. “We are very excited about the future and so grateful for the huge amount of support in the community,” said the retired teacher. Fo r c o - f o u n d e r MacVicar, rebuilding the hatchery is important because it will provide future students with the opportunity to learn about B.C.’s fragile ecosystem and how to protect it. “It’s not about raising fish, it’s about raising kids,”MacVicar said.
GIVING THANKS
• At yesterday’s event, some key contributors were also acknowledged, including the city of Port Moody, which approved necessary paperwork and donated $10,000 to the organization; MP Moore, who worked behind the scenes to find sources of cash; and the Pacific Salmon Foundation, which is contributing $100,000 toward the project. Lafarge Canada was also singled out for donating the forms and concrete as part of its sustainability commitment. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Sailing the high seas — ’til Monday
The crew of Bedlam II — made up mostly of Tri-City residents — is expected to reach the Hawaiian shore on Monday. The six sailors under Port Moody skipper and boat owner Al Slater set off from Victoria (above) on July 3 for the biennial Vic-Maui race. According to John Johnstone’s tweets (@svbedlam2, where this and other photos can be found), the 1968 C&C41 Redline Yacht was stuck in the Pacific High for a few days last week but winds have since picked up. On Tuesday, he tweeted: “Bedlam is inching their way forward in the #vicmaui race... currently in 2nd place in Racing C with first in their sights!” On board the 41-foot boat with Slater and Vancouver’s Johnstone are Port Moody’s Gordon Penner, watch captain Gary McKinnon and Devin Jain, and Coquitlam resident Kevin Treharne.

School’s out but kids are hitting the books By Janis Warren
IN QUOTES
The Tri-CiTy News
Perhaps at least one positive can be chalked up to the B.C. public school teachers’ strike: Students out of school two weeks early this year may be a reason enrolment numbers are up at summer reading clubs in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. Staff at the Coquitlam and Terry Fox libraries say their participation rates are higher than last summer for the clubs, which reward children with a weekly sticker
“This year, we were unable to visit half of the schools due to the work stoppage. Because of that, I’d expect the numbers to be down but they’re not.” Barbara Weston, Coquitlam Public Library and, after 50 days of continuous reading, a medal. As of Wednesday, 1,622 kids had signed up in Coquitlam since June compared with 1,573 children for all of last summer (the cutoff date to register this year is Saturday). And at
Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Library, 691 children have joined the BC Summer Reading Club to date versus 680 for all of last summer. Coquitlam Public Library’s youth service co-ordinator, Barbara Weston, said the hike
could be “because schools were out early this year and parents were looking for other activities.” Still, the increase may be somewhat unexpected given that the library couldn’t put on its full promotional push because schools were be-

hind picket lines. Typically, Coquitlam librarians promote the summer reading program at city schools in June. “This year, we were unable to visit half of the schools due to the work stoppage,” Weston said. “Because of that, I’d ex-
pect the numbers to be down but they’re not.” Terry Fox librarian Dana Ionson had similar comments but she also noted this year’s theme and artwork have been a big draw. The illustrator, Jeremy Tankard, created cute and colourful characters for the Funny Business motif that was chosen by a provincial committee and supported by the BC Library Association. In Port Moody, however, reading club participation is down: from 1,400 last year to 1,100 so far this year.
M a ry n A s h d ow n , PMPL’s programs and youth services co-ordinator, said librarians encourage kids to join in the fun, which includes weekly prize draws if kids submit a book review or a cartoon. Meanwhile, teens and adults can also be part of summer reading clubs at the three libraries. Port Moody has monthly draws for adults who register — with the July prize being an infrared sauna package for anyone who enters a book review. jwarren@tricitynews.com

‘Grade manipulation’ is behind some complaints continued from front page
“Even if what you have is just a little house with a nice garden, to me it’s a big ‘screw you’ when people come and build a big, fat house with a big wall in front of your main window.� Ann Kitching, a longtime April Road resident, said her neighbours are now looking at an enormous, three-storey box. “They lost their beautiful view of the water, they lost the trees — everything is gone. It’s a crying shame,�Kitching said. The trouble is, it’s all completely legal, according to staff. Jim Weber, PoMo’s manager of bylaws, outlined the regulations that dictate how large a house can be in relation to its lot size, how height is measured depending on the roof style and — what appears to be the main issue — how the grade of the lot is measured. “It’s one of the more difficult things for us to calculate,� Weber said. “The previous bylaw had some challenges in that people were tending to manipulate the grade a bit� to get the desired

Now, grade is calculated by taking an average of readings taken from where the house will be situated on the lot, with the ground being what it had been over the past two years. But there is still room for interpretation, said Mayor Mike Clay. “It’s not breaking the law but it’s being very creative in how they take advantage of the weaknesses in the bylaws,� Clay said.

Clay also suggested requiring builders go before a review panel to confirm whether nearby residents will be affected by a new house — a “forced good neighbour� policy, he joked. McIntosh said the town hall meeting was an im-

■ WHAT WE THINK:
P
aying to park at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park may seem to some like a good idea at first blush. It could be a revenue generator for the city and will stop people who take the coming Evergreen Line from using the park lot for free during the day. But the start-up costs of $7,000 plus the $36,000 annual operating costs for a new bureaucracy will certainly eat away at any profits when all the city really needs to do is limit parking to two to four hours a day — and enforce those limits. As well, while the idea of letting Port Moody residents park for free is appealing to those voters in an election year, it wasn’t just PoMo residents who shelled out for this park. When Rocky Point was upgraded to the lovely, popular facility it is today, a provincial/federal infrastructure grant paid for two thirds of it. It’s understandable that the city wants to protect its waterfront jewel but pay parking is neither generous to the rest of the region, whose park parking is free, nor does it seem to make financial sense.

Coquitlam can’t wait for a heritage venue AS I SEE IT Jill Cook
W
e don’t regret the loss of what we didn’t know we had. This could be the fate for present and future generations of Coquitlam residents. As the memories and evidence of our history, culture and heritage fade, our understanding and appreciation for the foundations that have shaped and enabled our community to become what it is today also crumble away. Does it matter? Try Googling“does history matter.”Almost 200 million hits argue that, indeed, it does. For rapidly developing communities like ours, it helps us understand the trajectory we are on and the changes influencing our development. For newcomers, it leads to an appreciation of our community values. I have been fortunate, through my role with
the Coquitlam Heritage Society and my responsibilities for Mackin House Museum, to have collegial relationships with many people active within Coquitlam’s heritage and cultural milieu. We share a common view, recently supported by the city’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Draft Master Plan. The message is clear: The facilities and support for culture and heritage in Coquitlam are inadequate. The city’s analysis, represented dramatically in the draft plan by a service wheel graphic that compares the relative service strengths in the parks, recreation, arts and culture areas, reveals the stark reality. Among 18 service areas, the community heritage piece of arts and culture is the weakest, ranked well below “basic.”Some recreation areas fare relatively well but there is no doubt that community heritage is the poorest of the poor cousins. Coquitlam’s 125th birthday is just around the corner in 2016 so it is a good time to reflect. Recent progress has been reasonable. Coquitlam’s Mackin House has evolved over

the past five years from an under-performing and ambiguous offering to a carefully curated interpretation of 1909 life in pioneer Maillardville. It offers a range of successful programs with growing popularity that is shaking the building’s foundations — literally, as the load values on a 105-year-old woodframe house have to be carefully monitored. Mackin House also functions as a tourist information centre and Coquitlam’s front door. Recently, the city acquired the Booth Farm house, arguably the oldest house in Coquitlam and a significant part of our social history. Planning for how this important community heritage asset will be used is underway. And at long last, Coquitlam has inaugurated a community archives at city hall. So there have been some successes. But what’s missing? How is it that a city of our size and rich history, a city that has invested in wonderful art schools and libraries and theatres and public buildings can find itself with no standalone museum? Mackin House presents a small slice of
our history and is a great heritage house but what about all the Coquitlam history outside the 1909 point in time? Where is the much applauded, one-of-a-kind Riverview Hospital collection? What will happen to the artifacts that languish in basements and garages throughout the city? Where will they go as people downsize, move homes or leave the community? We need a plan to collect and display these artifacts and tell the Coquitlam story. Actually, we need more than a plan. We need dedicated exhibition space to present the parts of our history already in hand. We can grow from there. The Coquitlam Heritage Society is committed to this goal. Let’s ask city council to share this goal and make our past a present priority. Museums are a measure of our growth as a mature and rounded society. We shouldn’t wait much longer. Jill Cook is, until the end of July, the executive director of the Coquitlam Heritage Society.

SD43 trustees must accept their share of blame for financial woes The Editor, Re. “SD43 laments cost pressures in letter” (The Tri-City News, July 11). Once again, School
District 43 trustees are blaming the provincial government for all their financial problems. Let’s not forget the budget deficit in June 2013. The

Was this wrong time to go down to bi-weekly? The Editor, I would like to thank C o q u i t l a m ’ s m ayo r and council for switching to every other week garbage pick-up at the warmest time of the year. With a young family of four, it can be difficult to convert to a 50% reduction in anything. Of course, I understand the objectives of saving time and money and hopefully helping the planet. Just thinking out loud for a minute, perhaps council could have made a decision to at least wait until the weather is cooler and then make the reduction of service by 50%. Of course, perhaps the other objective was to have the garbage hanging around for an
extra week festering in the heat to remind us of council’s decision. Good work. Sean Barnett, Coquitlam
PLASTICS?
The Editor, Re. “Plastic wrap recyclable?” (Letters, The TriCity News, July 11). Gail Campbell’s letter regarding plastic wrap is right on. When I inquired about how to dispose of plastic bags, I was told by a member of the city of Coquitlam’s waste reduction team that they can be, and I quote from her email, “recycled at Encorp Recycle depots or at the grocery store or they can be placed in the garbage.” I hope she is correct as I have been
putting my plastic produce and grocery bags, in fact all plastic bags from various retailers in the garbage. Crystal Mora, Coquitlam Editor’s note: Under regulations of Multi-Material BC, which is in charge of Coquitlam recycling, all plastic bags and overwrap can only be recycled at Return-It depots. The alternative is to dispose of them in the trash. For more information, including locations of depots, visit recyclinginbc. ca/coquitlam.

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

Shoulder Arthritis: I had a lot of pain and stiffness in my right arm and shoulder from arthritis caused by being hit by a car 26 years ago. After 3-4 laser treatments I was able to move my arm and shoulder once again and after 10 treatments the pain was all gone!

Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LILT will vary to some degree.

Bus shuffling helps TransLink carry more riders – only a few in Tri-Cities BLaCk Press
The Surrey area has been the big beneficiary of TransLink’s strategy of shuffling bus service to carry more people with the transportation authority’s limited resources. The Tri-Cities? Not so much. According to a new TransLink report on bus system performance, the transit authority is reaping gains from its ongoing service optimization initiative, which culls service hours from some routes or times where buses are underused and bolsters service in areas where overcrowded buses routinely pass up waiting passengers, or where more buses could attract new riders. Over the three-year period, the south of Fraser bus routes were allocated 11% more service hours, while the North Shore got an extra 8.9%. Bus ridership in-
to Newton along 72 Avenue. Some new money was invested in Surrey and Langley, beyond reallocated hours taken from other parts of the region, to launch the new 555 express bus from Langley over the Port Mann Bridge and the new King George B-Line. Busby said some gains have come from making bus schedules more efficient, with better route designs that reduce the time to get to and from depots. He said there’s been significant growth in ridership at off-peak times and weekends, particularly in Surrey, Richmond and the North Shore, suggesting transit is becoming more useful to more people outside traditional commute times. Further service adjustments are expected for this year and next year, but Busby said there are limits to what the strategy can achieve. M e t r o Va n c o u ve r mayors have proposed a major expansion of bus service, along with extended rapid transit lines, but are still in talks
Intermediate Care for Seniors
with the provincial government as to what new taxes might be put to a regional referendum to pay for the plan. Service optimization was one of the recommendations for more efficiency from a 2012 audit that argued TransLink was spending too much running buses in areas with few prospective riders that generated little in revenue. Critics feared reform would mean sacrificing routes and service aimed at building ridership in neighbourhoods that aren’t yet densely populated but are growing fast and will end up with large numbers of car-dependent residents without a viable transit alternative.

creased in all parts of the region except Burnaby between 2010 and 2013 but gains were only 2% in the Tri-Cities and Vancouver, and on the North Shore, while there was a 21% increase in South Delta. Richmond, however, was reduced by 3.9% and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows bus service was cut 2.3%. Changes were minimal elsewhere in the region. Overall, it means TransLink is moving about 3% more people by bus with largely the same resources as 2010 — an extra eight million trips per year. “ We ’ r e p l e a s e d with the results,” said TransLink’s Jeff Busby. “We’re trying to do the best we can with the resources we have.” The report says the strategy has eased crowding on routes like the 25, 41, and 99 B-Line in Vancouver, the 319 in Surrey, 106 in Burnaby/ New West and the 410 in Richmond. It also allowed the launch of new routes such as the 188 along Coast Meridian and David Avenue in the Tri-Cities and extending the 335 in Surrey

Teach kids safety at home Coquitlam RCMP are cautioning parents to “house proof” their kids the same way they teach them street smarts after a Mountie’s family member recently encountered a potentially dangerous situation.
On a sunny afternoon, according to an RCMP press release, the 12-year-old boy was at home when the doorbell rang unexpectedly. He answered the door to a “scruffy-looking” man in his 20s who was “fidgety” and acting strangely. The man asked the boy to call him a taxi and, thinking he was being helpful, the boy went to
the phone, leaving the front door wide open. The boy’s uncle, an off-duty police officer, was in the home and had heard the voice of a strange man, so he went to the door to investigate. The surprised visitor quickly left. Coquitlam RCMP noted it’s not known what the man wanted but “the consequences could have been poten-
tially unthinkable had the uncle not intervened.” With kids and teens spending more time at home over the summer, police are offering these tips for parents to teach their kids: • Know who’s on the other side of the door before you open it. If it’s a stranger, keep the door locked. • If a stranger phones and asks your kids
More charges in theft of vet’s memorabilia Coq. Mounties made arrest of Surrey woman A suspect arrested last month in connection with the theft of a war vet’s memorabilia is now facing additional charges. Jaylene Hawkins, a 23-year-old Surrey resident, is now facing a total of 10 charges, including break and enter, identity theft, possession and/or traf-
ficking in credit card data, uttering a forged document and possession of stolen property. She had earlier been charged with theft of mail, mischief, unauthorized use of credit card data, possession of stolen property and breach of a condition. The charges came after police found a stolen van that led them to a suspect in the May 30 break-in of a Second World War veteran’s home. When Coquitlam RCMP’s
prolific target team executed a search warrant on a Surrey home on June 14, they found Jack Miles’ cuff links, watches and document — but not his war medals. Cpl. Jamie Chung said Surrey RCMP are still working to recover those missing items. Anyone with information is asked to contact them at 604599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS. spayne@tricitynews.com
where you are, teach them to say something like, “My dad is sleeping, please call back later.” • Make sure they can reach an adult at any time in case they have questions about safety and security. • If there is an emergency, make sure they know how to call 911 and what information they need to provide.
Have any WWI stuff? Port Coquitlam Heritage Society is looking to local residents for any items they may be related to the First World War. The society is hoping to borrow anything — from shovels and canteens to military-related equipment — to add to its fall display commemorating the 100th anniversary of the start of the war. It will feature the stories of two PoCo men — a father and son — who served on the western front. The display will open on Sept. 8 after the current display, “Heritage Afloat,” closes on Aug. 16 at Heritage at Leigh Square. Anyone with any items they wish to include in the display is asked to call Pippa van Velzen at 604-941-8465 or email pippav@pocoheritage.com.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS
t’s been a sweltering week so we’re welcoming the cooler temperatures, and plenty of cool things to do, this weekend.
TODAY: Friday, July 18 OUTDOORS GALORE
Have you checked out the Tri-Cities’ extensive outdoor amenities? Whether it’s Rocky Point Park for a dip in the pool and an ice cream cone, a trek up the refurbished Coquitlam Crunch, a stroll through the cool shade of Minnekhada Regional Park or a mountain bike ride down Burke Mountain’s trails, this area boasts loads of recreational opportunities to try.
Saturday, July 19 SHAPING HANDS
Why not add your hands to those that shape Port Moody?
At the Port Moody Arts Centre Art Fair today, the Inlet Artists will be collecting images of hundreds of hands; the photos will be assembled into a“whimsical mosaic”featuring the diversity of hands that shape the community. Individuals, families and friends can insert their hands inside a white box for a snapshot — the“pose”is up to you — at a photo booth at the Art Fair all day.
they’re $20, available by calling 604-931-2008.
MUSIC ON THE GRILL
CAN YOU CAYDANCE?
Get dinner and amazing live music (not to mention a stellar view on a sunny evening) at tonight’s Music on the Grill. Powell River sisters Carli and Julie Kennedy will be performing their unique blend of country — with a classically-trained twist — at the Evergreen Cultural Centre at 8 p.m. Tonight’s menu (bar opens 6:30 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m.) is a Beach Blanket BBQ featuring rib-eye steak, wild salmon and chicken, salads, baked beans, corn muffins and strawberries. In other words, yum. Tickets are $52 (dinner and show) or $32 (concert only), at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca or 604-927-6555.
ART IN THE GARDEN

Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square will become the scene of the latest Euro dance-exercise phenomenon — Bokwa — as the Village Vibe series continues. Professional dancers from Caydance will be in the square from 2 to 4 p.m. to show you the Bokwa ropes, as well as Latin line dancing and the Argentine tango. The Port Moody Arts Centre Society presents the second annual Art in the Garden Tour and Fair, featuring beautiful back yards in Coquitlam, PoMo, Anmore and Belcarra. The PoMo Police community garden and the Museum Heritage Garden will also be welcoming visitors. A silent auction will help raise money for the arts centre. The first tour, held two years ago, drew more than 200 tour spectators so best to get tickets now;

Drives-U-Crazy
Stop signs mean stop now, not eventually. There’s little that’s scarier when you are moving briskly along a major arterial route than to be confronted suddenly by a car rolling at a clip over a stop line from a side road on the right. The driver knows whether the car is going to stop before entering the highway but I don’t because I’m not a mind reader. What drives-u-crazy? Email: keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Even if you squint while looking at the hybrid on your driveway, you likely have a hard time imagining it is anything like an F1 race car. However, the new advanced hybrid technology at play in this 2014 season means that Formula 1 has never been closer to your driveway. The car power units are 1600cc turbocharged V6 engines with direct fuel injection. They have to complete each race with 35% less fuel, with a maximum fuel load of 100kg (not litres) and the fuel flow is restricted to 100 kg/hour. That would mean your favourite driver would bow out half way through without further engineering help. In addition, the power units have two electric motors, one linked directly to the turbocharger, the other working in the same way that the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) used to do. The result is a combined maximum power output of around 760bhp, which is similar to the output of the V8 cars of last year. It is a certainty that the rapid-fire experimentation that is going on in F1 will result in improvements to our everyday cars. That’s the beauty of this highly competitive sport that is so geared to winning. Changes come faster because there’s no chance to undertake testing that takes an age under normal testing. Last year, when I visited the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of the Infiniti-Red Bull F1 race team, I chatted to Infiniti engineers who marvelled at the pace of improvement. Said one Infiniti engineer: “They do things so much more quickly than we can do under normal development processes because they have to. And the changes they make are so thoroughly tested on the

Handsome high performer tops price list, too When the Porsche Cayenne was introduced, I questioned why the iconic sports car maker would build a grocery-getting SUV. Boy was I wrong. Porsche was not only successful introducing the Cayenne, it went into become its best-selling vehicle and – wait for it – I even bought one. So, with the latest introduction of a smaller SUV called Macan, there is less fanfare around the fact that it actually exists and more excitement about how it performs. The bigger question is with so many small luxury SUVs entering the market, is the Macan worth the $54,300 to get a base model or $82,200 for the turbo? Looks: The Macan uses same platform as the Audi Q5, a Volkswagen Group sibling, but features an entirely different body shell and engine options. The most striking design element is the wide hood that folds over the side of the front fenders, making a seamless, wide stance that is impressive. The hood actually has cutouts for the
suspension from the base steel springs to steel with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that allows the driver to set the firmness of the ride. This upgrade was noticeable on the track. The turbo comes standard with this setup but the added power and expense were only really noticeable when the Macan was pushed hard around the track. For regular commuting the S is just fine. Verdict: I love looks and the interior, and the handling can be sporty if the buyer chooses. Here is the issue: The Macan can

The back end of the Macan is particularly sleek and tidy, the taillights wrap around from the side and into the tailgate with precession. Inside: What the Macan has over the Q5 is a level of interior refinement that is almost unmatched in the car business. It’s finished with fine leather and a simple design that makes interacting with his SUV a joy.

Show some respect for this fleet favourite The much-maligned fleet car Chevrolet Impala is the “I don’t get no respect!” sedan of the auto world. The Impala I rented in Hawaii early this year was confirmation of the beating, while on the job, that a car like this has to endure. But you have to respect the sturdiness and competence it must possess. Body scars left by a multitude of indifferent drivers were visible evidence of the abuse. Although basic on the inside, the Impala turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and the biggest surprise of all was its performance. Impala offers good power, a quiet passenger cabin and a comfortable ride, which helped make the overall driving experience a pleasant one. Chevrolet first introduced an Impala way back in 1958 and at one time, it was the best-selling car in America. The last time I had driven an Impala was in 2009. Chevrolet had given it a new flex-fuel E85 engine

upgrade, so that it can accept up to 85 per cent ethanol content in its fuel. While an Impala is unlikely to be on your “dream drive” list, if you’re simply looking for an inexpensive, reliable and roomy, nearnew sedan, then add it to your used car drive list. In 2010, even the base LS trim came with air conditioning, power mirrors, walnut burl (imitation) interior accent trim, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, power windows and power locks with keyless entry and automatic headlamps. Our Hawaii rental was an LT trim which added 16-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped wheel with audio controls, CD/MP3 stereo and a remote starter.
The top-line LTZ adds 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, heated mirrors, deck lid spoiler, auto-dimming rearview mirror, eight-way power driver’s seat, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, sport suspension, electronic stability control, and a theft deterrent system. The 3.5-litre V6 (standard on LS and LT) engine can generate 214 horsepower. Its companion four-speed automatic is smooth, competent and reliable, yet it lags behind five and six-speed units offered by competitors. Fuel consumption is still decent at 11.3/7.0 L/100 km (city/ highway). The 3.9-litre (LTZ) engine can generate 240 horsepower. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

relaxing and enjoying the view. Homeowners at Station Square will have access to plenty of amenities, including nearly an acre of indoor and outdoor amenity space, Zayadi says. The first and second tower will share some of their amenities, including an infrared sauna, fitness facility, entertainment lounge with a gourmet kitchen, indoor/outdoor seating and outdoor dining areas and a reflecting pool.

Morningstar Homes is giving buyers the opportunity to live at the top of the world at The Summit at Grant Hill, their first project in Maple Ridge. With spacious fourbedroom homes, amazing views and 1/2 acre homesites, there is a lot to love.
Morningstar shines at The Summit at Grant Hill By Kerry Vital
You’ll be living at the top of the world at Morningstar Homes’ newest project, The Summit at Grant Hill in Maple Ridge. “We haven’t built in Maple Ridge before,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “Where else can you get a 3,900-square-foot luxury home on a ½ acre homesite for an amazing price? You just can’t.” Morningstar has long been known for its high-quality finishings and gorgeous homes, and this is certainly continuing at The Summit at Grant Hill.
“This is a really beautiful area,” Calahan says. “We’re offering big value and luxury combined – the best of both worlds – and at an exciting price!” The four-bedroom homes range from 3,840 to 3,900 square feet, with three-car garages, unfinished basements and vaulted ceilings on the second floor. “These are some of our best designs ever,” says Calahan. “We always do something new that’s specific to the neighbourhood, and add new twists.” Those twists include walls of windows that let the natural light pour into your space, and allow for some seriously gorgeous views.
“These homes are really luxurious,” says Calahan. “We’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings with grand foyers to welcome you, extra-large kitchens that are truly the heart of the home and elegant linear fireplaces that make a statement.” Window seats for admiring the view are included in most bedrooms, and the spalike ensuite is truly huge, with a stand-alone tub and semi-frameless five-foot shower with a seat. The master bedrooms are always spectacular in Morningstar homes, and this one at The Summit at Grant Hill is no exception. The large windows are continued here, and Morningstar is offering buyers the ability to include a master bedroom sitting room as part of their floorplan. Other possible customized options include glass hand rails on the stairs, a deluxe finished basement with a wet bar or granite island

A week of close losses for Redlegs Coquitlam Redlegs dropped a pair of close games this week in BC Junior Premier Baseball League action. Last Sunday, the local side travelled to A b b o t s f o rd , wh e r e they fell 2-1 to the Jr. Cardinals. The game was scoreless for three innings until Coquitlam got on the board, when centrefielder Matthew Clay, who had hit a single to get on base, was sent home by another single by third baseman Riley Engleson with the bases loaded. Another scoreless inning followed before Abbotsford pulled even with the Redlegs in the sixth, then scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh. Coquitlam’s next outing was another away game and another onerun loss, this time on Wednesday to the North Delta Jr. Blue Jays, 7-6. Redlegs jumped out to a two-run lead in the first inning, then made it 4-0 in the third (following a scoreless second) before the host Jays got on the scoreboard with a single run in the bottom of the inning. That started a North Delta string of scoring, with two runs in the fourth, one in the fifth and two more in the sixth after Coquitlam had also crossed home plate twice. With the game tied going
into the final inning, the game remained tight. Coquitlam allowed one man on base before recording two consecutive outs. But a single to right field sent Blue Jays’ Zach Besler home for the win. Trevor McKee and Ryley Leoppky had the hot bats for the Redlegs, recording three hits apiece in addition to one run apiece. Other Coquitlam runs came from Clay, with two, Jacob Doyle and Riley Engleson. Coquitlam Redlegs next play the Vancouver Jr. Cannons in a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m. Sunday at Mundy Park.
CANNONS: BOOM
Coquitlam Reds can only hope their next home field outing is better than their last. Wo r k i n g t h ro u g h a tough BC Premier Baseball League season, the local squad were trounced 15-1 by the Vancouver Cannons on Tuesday at Mundy Park, the game called after five innings. Evan Soutar was the only Red to cross home plate, doing so in the bottom of the first, but that was the home team’s only score and it came after Vancouver exploded for 10 runs. Coquitlam next plays Saturday, when they host the White Rock Tritons at Mundy Park for a doubleheader starting at noon.
Coquitlam soccer trio to play for SFU women
n Top: Danielle Wilson, right, and the Coquitlam Adanacs take on the host Maple Ridge Burrards during a championship game at the Box Lacrosse Minor Provincial Championships at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge last Sunday. n Above and right: The Port Coquitlam Bantam A1 team may have finished in third place in league play but saved their best for the provincials last week in Peninsula/ Victoria-Esquimalt, where they placed second overall. PoCo played seven games in five days, first racking up five consecutive wins in round-robin play. Then, the local boys defeated Westshore 7-3 in the semi-finals to advance to the championship, where they lost a low-scoring affair 4-1 to Delta. Austin Wahl was named to the tournament first team Bantam A1 all-stars while Mitch Bye received the Warrior Fair Play award. As well, four PoCo Bantam A1 players will be competing in the upcoming Bantam Nationals, to be held in Coquitlam and New Westminster, representing Team BC: Wahl, Bye, Cameron Way and Brett Ginac.
Three players from Coquitlam are part of an influx of eight newbies on the Simon Fraser University Clan women’s soccer team this fall. SFU announced its 2014 recruiting class this week under new head coach Annie Hamel. Ascending Burnaby Mountain from Coquitlam will be Nicole Foreman, Mikarla Guerreiro and Sierra Leung, who are all midfielders and all products of the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club. Foreman and Leung are graduates of Centennial secondary school while Guerreiro attended Archbishop Carney. Hamel had praise
for all three Coquitlam recruits, commenting on Foreman’s vision, Guerreiro’s grit and Leung’s speed. Of the latter, Hamel said: “Sierra is one of the most impactful players we will have this fall… She is ready to play in the NCAA and I think she will make herself noticed right away in the GNAC. She will definitely show up on scouting reports.” Besides the Metro-Ford trio, SFU’s 2014 recruiting class also includes three players from Surrey, one from White Rock and one from Ottawa. The new Clan recruits will join returning players for training camp next month.

It is with great sorrow I announce the sudden passing of my husband Wayne on June 24 age 63 at Port McNeil BC. He was on his annual fishing trip to Telegraph Cove. Survived by the love of his life Patricia,brother Dale, nieces and nephews as well as numerous other family and so many wonderful friends. Wayne spent his life in Coquitlam where his parents owned Goeson’s Grocery on Austin. He was interested in everything, but his greatest loves were fishing and hunting. He loved his boats, shop, computers, travelling, photography, astronomy, woodworking and could build and fix anything. He was a director of the BC Federation of Drift Fishers, a lifetime member of the Port Coquitlam & District Hunting and Fishing Club and worked for years with sports advisory groups for fish conservation and habitat. He was one of the founders of the Al Grist Memorial Hatchery on the Coquitlam River and a proud member of his local fishing club - the Drifters. Wayne spent all his life fishing on BC lakes, rivers and ocean waters. He was a passionate hunter all over BC, the Yukon and Wyoming. Wayne worked for Telus for 36 years in various departments always looking for a challenge. He retired in 2009. In the past 10 years he and Patricia enjoyed travelling - Wayne loved those cruises, the weeks at the cabin in the Cariboo and the camping trips in the RV. Wayne was a loyal and generous friend always ready to lend a hand or give advice. He will be sorely missed by all. He was taken from us too soon but while doing what he loved. In the last few months he battled cancer bravely always optimistic but his big heroic heart just stopped. Patricia thanks all his doctors and those at the BCCA and VGH for their exceptional care. We will always be grateful for their help extending his life. A celebration of his life will be held at the Port Coquitlam & District Hunting and Fishing Club 5000 Harper Road Coquitlam on Sunday July 27 at 1pm. Please no flowers - donations to the BC Cancer or Heart & Stroke Foundations would be appreciated.
