Donations for students in need of pens, paper Fundraising drive to purchase school supplies for less fortunate By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sluggish school supply sales because of labour uncertainty — and good weather — may have put a dent in Staples’ fundraising drive to buy gear for needy students. But the Coquitlam store manager, Jana Nimmo, expects to see more people in stores next week as teacher talks ramp up and the Sept. 2 school opening date nears. “The need is so great out there,” said Nimmo, who is hoping people will add a few dollars to their school supply purchases so 450 less fortunate School District
43 elementary school students can be fullyequipped when they head back to school. The supply fundraising drive is on now until the middle of September and Nimmo said she’ll be able to get more bang for the donated buck to buy glue and other expensive items for youngsters attending 19 schools where need is the greatest. Nimmo said she chooses items that have the most appeal to the youngsters and are the most expensive for families to buy. “We try to focus on things that kids really need and make them feel like they are part of the classroom.” Among the most coveted items are Crayola markers, but Nimmo will also stock up on pencils, paper and writing booklets. see LABOUR, page 4

DOg DAYS OF SUMMER: B.C. declares August as staycation month. Story by reporter Janis Warren
‘My backyard is a paradise’
the Appleyard House. The 1910 Edwardian home was moved in 2012 to make way for the Evergreen Line and will soon be connected to PMAC to expand its programs and services. For the afternoon, we stroll the Port Coquitlam Farmers’ Market at Leigh Square to buy some local grub for dinner, watch the demos by fibre artist Diane Roy and enjoy the live entertainment. Finally, at 6 p.m., we walk through the Inspiration Garden at the south end of Coquitlam Town Centre Park to hear the garden host talk about plantings.
By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
M
y friend from Singapore is planning his first visit to western Canada. Problem is, like most journalists, he’s cash-strapped. No worries, I tell him, my backyard is a paradise and there’s plenty to do for free in the TriCities. So, with his tight budget in mind — and a little help from my TriCity News colleagues and Coquitlam’s new tourism manager, Eric Kalnins — I start to build our August schedule, timed to match the official “stay-cation” month in B.C.:
FRIDAY
We are back on our bikes on Friday morning to loop the perimeter of Coquitlam’s Mundy Park, a 5.5-km multiuse trail that runs past the new bike skills park for youth along Mariner Way and Spani Pool — the city’s other outdoor tank — on Hillcrest Street. We dismount at my alma mater, Hillcrest middle, and head in by foot to discover Lost and Mundy lakes. The dedicated 400-acre urban park is a popular spot for off-leash dog walkers and runners, wanting to escape the heat and be surrounded by natural beauty. At night, we go for another dip, this time in the rebuilt Chimo Pool part of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
SUNDAY
We start our morning with a jaunt to the Coquitlam Farmers’ Market in the Dogwood Pavilion parking lot, where Metro Vancouver vendors sell their fresh fare: fruits and veggies, baked goods, beef and cheese. Started in 1996 by Simon Fraser University students, the market is run by a board of directors and includes an organic gardening program for kids at the Port Moody Police community garden. After we unload our groceries, we head to Rocky Point Park and walk the Shoreline Forest Trail, a U-shaped path at the head of the Port Moody Inlet. We are famished at the end of the 6-km trek to Old Orchard Park and back so we get a bite at the park and enjoy the afternoon sounds from the PCT Performance Stage and the smell of the salt air. At night, we take in the full-moon tour with Rocky Point Kayak, paddling the area and watching for seals to pop their heads out of the water.
SATURDAY
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTOS
Clockwise from top: The 440 steps for the Coquitlam Crunch; the Port Coquitlam Farmers’ Market; Belcarra regional park; kids enjoy digging in the sand at White Pine Beach, near Sasamat Lake.
MONDAY
Now that we’ve had a bit of exercise, I decide to crank up the grind by hiking the 440 steps on Eagle Mountain better known as the Coquitlam Crunch. This spring, the city installed wooden stairs along the steepest part of the trail, which rises from Lansdowne Drive and up 820 feet to the top of Westwood Plateau — a 2.2-km trek that’s equal to climbing 81 storeys. Not only is it a great workout but the view from the top offers breathtaking (literally) views of Coquitlam and the Fraser River. Once back at the base, we take a load off with a swim at one of the city’s two outdoor pools: Eagle
Ridge, an eight-lane 25 m pool that charges a toonie for drop-ins. At night, we relax at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver on United Boulevard, eat, drink and tour the display of rock music memorabilia (and maybe wager a buck or two).
TUESDAY
As most local bargain hunters know, Tuesdays are the best day to track down deals at thrift stores. And as many shops are located along or near the Barnet and Lougheed highways, it’s an easy shopping destination to reach the
Crossroads Hospice t h r i f t s t o r e , Va l u e Village, La Boutique Consignment, Around My House Consignment, SPCA Thrift Mart, ThriftOpolis and the Salvation Army, to name a few. Afterward, we pack a lunch and our swimsuits, and pitch a tent at one of the three recreational spots on the Tri-Cities’ western edge. Buntzen Lake is a reservoir run by BC Hydro that has great picnic areas and hiking trails: Halvor Lunden (Eagle Ridge), Buntzen Lake, Energy and Diez Vistas. At Sasamat Lake, one of the warmest lakes in
Metro Vancouver, there’s White Pine Beach. And on the west side on Belcarra regional park, at the end of Tumtumay-whueton Drive, there’s the picnic area that overlooks Indian Arm. Here, fishing and crabbing are a common sight.
WEDNESDAY
Our morning begins with a tour of the arboretum at Riverview Hospital, a mentalhealth institution that was closed by the provincial government in 2012 in its 100th year. Home to 1,800 rare specimen trees, the 244 acres
contain a kiosk on Pine Terrace (west of Crease Clinic) for a self-guided tour of the arboretum. Crease, as well as the “Lawn,” Hillside and Valleyview Pavilion buildings are used by film and TV crews (the Riverview grounds are the most filmed-at site in Canada) and so we check out where many science fiction and thriller productions are made. We shift gears for the afternoon, hauling our bikes to Port Coquitlam to ride the Trans Canada Trail. The PoCo portion — the Traboulay PoCo Trail — is a 10-km path
that includes the Pitt River dike, DeBoville Slough and Hyde Creek trails, runs along Patricia Avenue, through Wellington Park and to Coquitlam River Park.
THURSDAY
Art is on the agenda for the morning as we tour Place des Arts in the French-Canadian enclave of Maillardville, the gallery at Evergreen Cultural Centre and the Port Moody Arts Centre (PMAC), which on Sept. 6 at 10 a.m. will have a grand opening for the atrium linking its historic building with another heritage structure:
For our final stop, we head out to Minnekhada regional park in north Coquitlam, where we take one of the five trails — Lodge, Cliff, Meadow, Log Walk or Quarry — a few of which have slopes up to 18% in some places. Covering nearly 500 acres, the park includes five lookout points, with Low Knoll offering a full view of the lower marsh and High Knoll showing the Pitt River and Pitt Meadows. The lodge, now a popular site for weddings and special events, was built as a country retreat in 1934 for BC Lt. Gov. Eric Hamber and features a Japanese garden — complete with a bridge — nearby. On our way down Coast Meridian Road, we he head to Terry Fox secondary school for a stop at the Terry Fox statue to pay tribute to the hometown hero. And to cap off our week is a show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam, where many events are sponsored by The TriCity News. jwarren@tricitynews.com

A Port Moody senior is taking a walk to raise money for kids in the burn unit at BC Children’s Hospital. But it’s not just any walk. Louis Charland will leave on Sept. 14 for Spain, where he plans to walk 482 km on the El Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James. “When I heard about it I thought it sounded adventurous, romantic,” said the 73-yearold. That was back in early spring and since March, Charland has worked up from walking just a couple of kilometres a day to as many as 25 km. But it hasn’t been easy. “I’ve always been pretty fit,” said the tall, lanky retiree whose main transportation is his bicycle. “But walking uses entirely different muscles. I was surprised at how little I could walk at first.” All the hard work has paid off, however, and Charland figures he’s lost about 25 pounds in the last five months and expects to log about 16 km per day on the 30-day pilgrimage. An adventurous soul — he’s has logged thousands of kilometres traveling and, in his working life, managed a company that manufactures underwater cameras — Charland is looking forward to meeting fellow pilgrims along the centuries-old route. “Meeting people who are in transit are different people, they’re interesting and they give you a lot in terms of their experiences,” Charland said. It was in researching the trip, and discovering just how challenging it was likely to be, that Charland connected a sense of atonement and suffering to the walk, which ends at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. “You have to suffer when you’re atoning and I linked that to helping somebody,” Charland explained. A father of two grown children, Charland was eager to raise funds that would go towards helping sick kids. So far he’s raised $1,200 and hopes to make his goal of

For those who can afford to purchase their own supplies, there’s also an opportunity to contribute to Me to We development activities in Africa and other countries while also tracking the impact of profits from the purchase with a special code that is provided. Nimmo acknowledged that peoples’ attention may be distracted by holiday activity or they may be waiting until the school strike is settled before purchasing school supplies. “We’re a little bit behind,” Nimmo admitted, but she said business should pick up next week

If everyone contributed a dollar in addition to their school supply pur-
chases, children in SD43 would get what they need, Nimmo said, adding that the funds stay local and the supplies are appreciated. “These children could be your son or daughter’s school mate,”Nimmo said. For SD43 back-toschool information check your child’s school website or www.sd43.bc.ca.
Talkin’ education at Share barbecue Supporting Share Family and Community Services and talking about classroom conditions is the goal of two Baker Drive teachers who are hosting a picnic at Rocky Point Park on Monday, Aug. 25. Kelsey Keller, who will be teaching Grades 3/4/5 and Christi Livingstone, who has yet to be recalled after being laid off in the spring, are planning
New from IKEA:
to barbecue hot dogs to raise funds for Share and are collecting donations to the food bank. But while grilling up the hot treats, the Coquitlam teachers also hope to engage parents in an informal discussion about class size and composition issues, which are at the heart of the current teacher’s dispute. Keller said people are getting most of their in-
formation from media reports from the BC Teachers’ Federation and the province, through its bargaining arm the BC Public School Employers’ Association, not from individual teachers and this event will give people a chance to hear about the issues facing individual teachers in the classroom. “We can give specific examples, and what it means for your child
and what will class size and composition mean to them,”Keller said. At the same time, she hopes food and funds can be generated for Share, which supports vulnerable families, an issue local teachers can identify with. The group plans to serve hot dogs and collect non-perishables from 4 to 6 p.m. at a picnic table close to the playground.
ARTHRITIS PAIN? Laser may be the answer.

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! RMJ (age 90) Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. 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.

■ WHAT WE THINK: The province’s education minister believes a deal with teachers can be hammered out before school is set to re-open Sept. 2. But while many hope that the province and the BC Teachers’ Federation can work out their differences before the end of the Labour Day long weekend, there is still a chance that a deal can’t be reached in time. Now is a good time to talk to your kids about the school year, and new routines, and stock up on school supplies. At the same time, just to be ready, families should make alternative plans in case school doesn’t open on time.The cities are also offering strike camps and parents would be wise to check them out and even register. School District 43 is also providing information on its website, beginning today, so it’s a good idea to check it out, as well as individual school websites for calendar planning, bell schedules and other important information. Nobody likes uncertainty, but with a little foresight, families can be prepared for what’s ahead.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Railway safety should always be a top priority AS I SEE IT Frank Bucholtz
T
he final report of the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) into the LacMégantic rail tragedy, which killed 47 residents of the quiet Quebec town last July, is a damning indictment of both Transport Canada and the poorly-run Montreal, Maine and Atlantic (MMA) Railway. Together, their indifferent attitude towards safety led to what the TSB report describes as 18 “factors” which came together to create the horrific tragedy. Could such a thing happen here? Could there be a series of factors which would cause a catastrophic incident in the Surrey, White Rock, the Tri-Cities or Delta? There is no doubt that rail traffic in the area is on the increase. Roberts Bank in Delta is the single biggest reason — its business is booming and there are plans for further expansion. Right now, coal and containers are being shipped overseas,
almost exclusively to Asia, from the port. Business increases on the coal side are partially due to a lack of coal shipping facilities on the U.S. west coast. Plans for coal ports have run into opposition in many areas and the campaign against a planned coal transhipping facility at Fraser Surrey Docks is symbolic of problems U.S. coal shippers are having. The U.S. government is also trying to reduce the amount of electricity generated by coal. Meanwhile, BNSF, which runs through White Rock, Surrey and Delta, is sending several coal trains a day to Roberts Bank. Crude oil is also being shipped here, although not in the unit trains like the one that piled up at LacMégantic. Both BNSF and CN regularly haul crude through this area, usually in smaller lots of 10 to 12 cars per train. Most is likely going to refineries in Burnaby or Northwest Washington. The attitude of Transport Canada towards rail-safety practices, as outlined in the TSB report, is a concern. This agency is supposed to be the overseer of rail and other forms of transportation, yet

apparently leaves it up to those companies to police themselves. MMA didn’t meet a number of deadlines and requests Transport Canada had set and faced no consequences. Even the single-person operation of trains, a possible factor in the disaster, was implemented by MMA in 2012 without Transport Canada stepping in as a hands-on regulator. Transport Canada was cited by the Auditor General in November, 2013 (after LacMégantic) for not having a proper audit approach to ensure that railways were managing safety risks and complying with safety requirements. Recently, Transport Canada got very particular about access to the beach area in White Rock, in what appeared to be an over-reaction. It wouldn’t hurt the agency to apply more of that hard-headedness to ensuring that railways follow the safety regulations they are supposed to have in place. One of the themes that comes through quite clearly in the TSB report is the lack of attention to safety practices on many levels at MMA. It is safe to say that the four railways operat-
ing in this area — Canadian Pacific, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Canadian National and Southern Railway of B.C. — are much more safety-conscious. Because of that, it isn’t too likely that the many factors which led to the Lac-Mégantic tragedy will re-occur here. However, sometimes it only takes one or two factors to cause a major problem. In two cases in the past 30 years, vandals derailed trains of B.C. Hydro Railway (Southern Railway’s predecessor) in Newton.Trains cannot stop easily and both derailments caused significant property damage. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt in either. The railways that operate in Surrey, Delta and White Rock and the rest of the Lower Mainland need to take a strong role in demonstrating an emphasis on safety to the community, in particular local governments and first responders, but also citizens at large. Rail transport is a vital and important part of economic activity, but it must be conducted with a“safety first”attitude at all times.

The Editor, When Kwikwetlem First Nation chief Ron Giesbrecht released the media statement saying he wouldn’t resign, he deceived everyone by saying only four members opposed his decisions. He did not include the members who would not respond without first having their questions answered. He also informed only his supporters of the opportunity to release YouTube statements about their view of what he has done. I am extremely concerned as to why the decision for his contract bonus was not put to a membership vote as every decision is in the band. He may have a non-disclosure agreement with the province, but that does not apply
to the transparency he owes to his own people. T o set the Giesbrecht record straight, many members have helped this nation get to the point we are at today — not just one person. It was the dedication of the previous chiefs and councils who laid the groundwork for the success this nation has had within the last 20 years. Many of the members who have long lived here on the reserve have endured many interviews to discuss our knowledge of the past. It is not easy to re-live the times of yesterday, but we do so to see a change for our children. These interviews
are to remember our culture and protect what we hold dear in our territory. It is sad to see this chief take away from not only the elders who have lived through so much but also the young ones we fight for everyday who will need to continue on with the efforts we have begun. I am deeply appalled by what has happened and many of the things I have heard has left me in awe of the arrogance I see. We were taught that as a chief and council you do not accept praise — or money — for something that is expected of you, which is to look out for one another and do what is right for everyone. Those who oppose him — and rightly so — stand by our decision

One war ends and another begins YOUR HISTORY Bryan Ness
W
e don’t often think about war during the month of August — usually it’s around early November leading up to Remembrance Day. But on Aug. 4, 1914, the First World War officially began for Canada when Great Britain declared war on Germany after the latter invaded neutral Belgium. Our country, as part of the British Empire, was automatically included in that declaration of war and the call went out immediately across the nation looking for recruits. By war’s end, 620,000 men and women had answered the call for King and Empire and served in Canada’s armed forces, with over 66,000 making the ultimate sacrifice. First to leave locally for distant battlefields overseas were troopers of Port Coquitlam’s 31st Regiment of the B.C. Horse, a militia force

from the nearby CPR roundhouse and workers on the under construction Government Pitt River Bridge did likewise as they passed by.

Second World War ended on Aug. 14, 1945, on what became known as V-J (Victory over Japan) Day. The war had ended in Europe back in May 1945 and many men and women in Canada’s Armed Forces were already returning home to their families and loved ones. Heritage Society member Don Reid, a young boy at the time, remembers the troop train that brought his father Morven home from war, and the thrill of being able to ride part way back to Port Coquitlam
with him. Scotty had served with the 16th Battery of the 3rd Lt. Ack Ack Regiment and was lucky enough to have returned unscathed from the disastrous raid on Dieppe on Aug. 19, 1942. He was not so lucky later on during the invasion of Normandy in June 1944, where he was seriously wounded a few weeks after landing. One war began — and another war ended. Let us hope the sound of silence lasts forever.

The KidSport TriCities’ summer sale last Saturday brought in nearly $18,000 for the cause, said executive director Chris Wilson — about $7,000 short of its target. The event at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, which raises cash to help register children and teens in sports, saw more than 1,300 shoppers checking out the second-hand sports gear available. Another five large boxes of food were donated to the Share food bank, he said.

Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia. The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty in the Tri-Cities will be held at Lafarge Lake on Sunday, Sept. 7 from 10:30 a.m. with the walk starting at noon. Proceeds from the walk will benefit animals at the Port Coquitlam SPCA. Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including community vendor tables, hot dog/ veggie dogs for the family, a doggie look-a-like contest and musical sit, face painting (humans) and doggie agility. Generously supported by our local sponsors, Can-Sure, Walmart, and Oxford Animal Hospital, the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a great time as well as a fantastic cause. “This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,”says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA.“We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year — it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and fourlegged participants.” To register or donate, and to get all the latest news and information, visit spca.bc.ca/walk.

Under the hood is the truly tried and tested Pentastar 3.6-litre V6, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. This power combination pumps out 283 horsepower but still remains frugal when it comes to fuel economy – 12.2/7.9 L/100 kms. Driving in town with such a large vehicle is not so much of challenge as you might expect. The excellent vision provided by large windows helps when parking in those tight supermarket spots. Stop/go traffic on Highway One was not fun and certainly spoiled the fuel
economy promise. That said, once rolling on the freeway, the Caravan hits its stride and return to sipping gas rather than gulping. The basic Caravan is anything but basic in its equipment tally and starts at $27,995. The tester was loaded to the gunwales with every bell and whistle and came in at $43,580. Take out the basic for the test drive then start adding the features you want until you run up against budget wall. ‘Mom’s taxi’ is going to be around for a while yet and that’s good news for sports oriented families and maybe even the National Hockey League. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Safety Tip: With summer plans often including more time on the road, make sure you assess your tires before a road trip. Check them regularly for air pressure, tread depth, and always replace tires with bulges, cuts, or cracks.

Striving to be at one with your Metal Steed
by Alexandra Straub
When I slipped inside the cabin of the all-new TLX, pushed the start button, then selected the “D” button on the centre console, and drove off, confidence was apparent from the get go. It’s a vehicle that was designed with performance in mind from the ground up. Furthermore, its chassis features a newly designed four-wheel independent suspension system, a great system to help you enjoy the country roads in Middleburg, Virginia, or in the chaos of urban life. It’s tame at slower speeds – it has very good table manners - but has the ability to take on higher speed challenges without breaking a sweat. I might have taken a corner or two relatively swiftly, but the steering feel, and its ability to maintain composure in a turn was quite impressive. Not to mention, each model comes with what’s called IDS, or Acura’s Integrated Dynamics System. This feature allows drivers to customize their driving experience through four selectable modes – ECON, Normal, Sport and Sport+. Depending on which setting
Middleburg, VA. - Bryan Hourt, Acura’s Assistant Large Project Leader – Vehicle Performance - tells of his upbringing on a ranch in Northwest Nebraska. Appropriately, he talks about horsepower. He explains that when you connect with the animal, getting on with life’s daily tasks is so much easier. If you’re out of sync with your horse, you have to work twice as hard at what you’re doing since you have to think for both yourself and it. In one situation, you enjoy yourself and get more done without having to micromanage. In another, it’s just exhausting. The latter of the two can be likened to driving. If you’re in a car that you don’t connect with, everyday routine can be even more arduous than it has to be. Its quirks rub you the wrong way. All the time. But, if you love your car, if you know exactly what it’s going to do in any given situation, and you trust it, life on the road is so much better. Enter the 2015 Acura TLX. It blends another type of horsepower, with grace and poise. (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX continued on page A24

you’re using, Acura says, “IDS will adjust power-steering effort, throttle response, transmission shift logic, HVAC system operation, and the control logic for either the P-AWS or SH-AWD systems. The new Sport+ mode, a first for Acura, unlocks the full performance potential of the TLX with the most aggressive settings in all areas.” Whether you want that extra bit of gusto, or you are driving around town, the TLX has a mode for you! Three TLX models will be offered. The first comes with a 2.4-litre, i-VTEC inline-4 engine with an 8-speed Dual
Clutch Transmission (8DCT) with torque converter, and Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS). It has an output of 206 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a trim with a 3.5-litre, i-VTEC V6 engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission and P-AWS. That produces 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, and gets 10 more horsepower and 13 more lb-ft of torque versus the 2014 TL 3.5-litre engine. Lastly, there’s the TLX SH-AWD with next-generation Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive, available only with the 3.5-litre, 290 horsepower V6 and 9-speed automatic. Eventually, both the TSX

the signature Jewel Eye headlights are a very nice touch, but the grille just doesn’t do it for me. Front-end looks aside, I’d describe my experience in both the 4 and 6 cylinder TLXs to be pleasant. Not the bad pleasant, the kind of adjective you use to describe a mother in-law or awkward coworker. But pleasant in the way that it’s quiet, does the job well and is a pleasure to drive. The 2015 TLX has a starting MSRP for the 4-cylinder engine at $34,990.
and TL will be succeeded by the TLX. It makes sense. Dimensionally, the TLX will be positioned between the ILX entry-luxury sedan and the RLX flagship Acura sedan. There’s room for five, 405L of cargo room around back and many places to store your personal items. Sure there are sportier offerings in the segment. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is one of them. So is the Audi A4. But what works for the TLX is its understated elegance. It’s very pleasant to drive, and with a centre stack that’s been stripped of unnecessary buttons, it’s a lot more user friendly to work with. Granted, I’m still not a fan of its front-end styling.

North American Classics by Rob Sass
Automotive designers have been cribbing from each other since the dawn of the automotive era. Often it’s less obvious to borrow from far away than from your own backyard. Witness the countless European-inspired American cars we’ve seen over the years (like the 1989-97 Ford Thunderbird, a virtual copy of the 1977 BMW 630 CSi). Europe has been known to return the favour on occasion, too, as anyone who has ever seen an Opel GT (which looks for all the world like a 2/3-scale ’68 Corvette) can attest. The cars on this list dispense with any of that “hands across the water” nonsense. They couldn’t have come from anywhere else — they’re as proudly North American as it gets: 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Seville: Not only was the name of this car over-thetop (combining two names that would do just fine on their own), but it marked the high-water point for the
tailfin fad inspired by the WWII Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane. These were the Empire State Building of tailfins, with twin rocket-like tail lamps embedded in them. Any ’59 Caddy is a simply stunning work of art from an era of unmatched American optimism. 1964 Pontiac GTO: The Goat (which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year) can reasonably lay claim to starting the muscle car craze. The idea was to stuff a gigantic 389-ci V-8 into the smallest body possible (the Pontiac Le Mans). And although the name was a direct theft from Ferrari, nothing else about the GTO could have come from anywhere else but America. With Pontiac gone for good, another revival seems unlikely. May it rest in peace. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance. Hagerty is the world’s leading specialist provider of classic car and boat insurance.

Optimizing the Trans Mountain Pipeline Route Trans Mountain filed an Application with the National Energy Board (NEB) in December 2013 to expand our pipeline, which currently runs through your community. As a result of engineering and environmental studies, along with feedback and input from Aboriginal communities, stakeholders and landowners, we are working to refine the proposed pipeline corridor to minimize impacts to communities. The final pipeline route will not be determined until the NEB regulatory process is complete in 2016. We are committed to ongoing engagement.

GVHBA to hold Fall Home Renovation Show in October By Kerry Vital
If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam. The popular Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing one-on-one consultations to homeowners looking for help in planning their renovation. The consulations are first come, first
serve and signup will take place at the show. The show focuses on providing homeowners with professional information about all aspects of home renovations, and will include booths for contractors and renovation products and services, as well as information seminars. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it extremely important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industry-leading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. “As well, all RenoMark holders have committed themselves to a code of business ethics and offer warranties on the work they do, offering peace of mind to home-owners that RenoMark professionals stand behind (their work).” The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged. For more information, visit www.gvhba.org. Seminar topics and times will be posted online later this month.

The Tides at Birch Bay gives you the best of both worlds: privacy and relaxation while also being just moments from the beach and the amenities of Birch Bay, including the famous C Shop, marinas, golf courses and many other activities.
Finding some old-fashioned family fun at The Tides By Kerry Vital
Everyone has fond memories of their childhood summer vacations, spending time with family and friends and playing outside for hours. Now it’s time to make more of those memories with The Tides, just minutes from the Canada-U.S. border in Birch Bay, Washington. Canadian families have been coming to Birch Bay for generations: for the beach, the weather, and the cheap price of real estate. “At The Tides, you get the best of both worlds,” says Chris Hughes, a local RE/MAX broker who grew up in West Vancouver and a partner in Compass Point Project Marketing. “It’s private, relaxed and quiet, but you can be at the beach in less than two minutes for all the activity and action you want.” The Tides is located on a sunny plateau with over eleven acres in total, of which seven acres are set aside as nature preserve, private treed parkland and trails, which creates a perfect setting for a second home getaway. There will also be picnic areas, a bocce ball court and an ocean-view lookout with a fire pit (called Sunset Point). The Clubhouse has
a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, billiards area, community kitchen, BBQ area and a lounge. The cottage-style townhomes themselves are homes away from home, with stainlesssteel appliances, granite or quartz countertops and a cozy stone-faced gas fireplace. Outside, you’ll find West Coast Craftsman architecture and a private deck or patio. There are a variety of two- and three-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from 1,082 to over 1,500 square feet, including five ready for immediate occupancy. The location is the biggest draw for buyers. The famous C Shop, which sells candy, ice cream, pizza, baked goods and other treats, is just a minute away. When the tide is out you can walk for miles on the sand and along the Birch Bay beachfront. There are a number of eclectic restaurants and cafes, and plenty of outdoor activities. You’ll also find Birch Bay State Park and boat launch, water slides, gocarts, mini-golf, two marinas and several golf courses nearby. “There are a ton of things to do,” Hughes says, “including digging for clams, fishing and crabbing.”
Organized activities include arts and music festivals, fireworks, the Birch Bay Marathon. parades, sandcastle contests, car shows and many other events. “We’re just 12 minutes from the border,” says Hughes. “You can come down with the family for the entire summer or just for the day.” He also notes that if you’re not able to come down to the cottage yourself, you can rent it out to other families looking for a beach
getaway. The developers of the property include two Canadian families, and most of the buyers so far are from the Lower Mainland. “You can’t touch real estate at this price anywhere in the Lower Mainland,” Hughes says. “It’s way more affordable to buy in the U.S., plus, there’s no property purchase tax. You can buy a two-bedroom unit here at The Tides for less than a studio apartment in the Lower Mainland!” Cottages at The Tides start in the low $200,000s. For more information, visit www.thetidesbirchbay.com, email info@ thetidesbirchbay.com or call 1-888-2558121. The show cottages are open at 4760 Tidal Way, Birch Bay, Friday through Sunday between noon and 4 p.m. or by appointment any time.

HomRE REVIEW EVIEW
Grasses are an easy way to add to your garden Annual space and water IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
T
he appreciation of ornamental grasses is still skyrocketing. However, it takes a while to understand the nature of each variety of grass and to see what it looks like during every season of the year. Yes, they have their down times, but this little hiccup is easily overshadowed by their many fine qualities. Most grasses, once established in a site they enjoy, are virtually carefree: a little watering in summer, a little protection in winter and an annual pruning. They all have fresh new growth in late spring, attractive flowers in autumn and an interesting look even in winter. Late summer breezes cause their leaves and stems to sway, adding not only life and movement to a garden but also the sound of rustling foliage. Many grasses, such as miscanthus, which really plumes up in late summer, literally shine when backlit by the warm golden sunlight so unique to fall. For many winters I’ve enjoyed evergreen grasses, such as carex, gently caressing the edges of hanging baskets and containers. Grasses have so much to offer. We just have to learn how to use them properly. My three favourite grass families are the miscanthus, pennisetums and carex. Miscanthus are medium to tall showpieces that make great focal points in mid-sized or
large gardens. Their fall flowers not only add a spark to autumn gardens, but they also continue through the winter until heavy snows or winds take their toll. They make a great screen by mid-June and their bronze flower tufts are truly magnificent. The most sought after miscanthus, however, is porcupine grass. This six-foot-tall grass has gold bands along its leaves and a tall upright habit, making it especially elegant. The most beautiful grass of all, bar none, is purple fountain grass. Alas, to survive our winters this variety must be brought inside a greenhouse, but it is the focal point of all focal points. Surrounded by anything pink, it is magnificence plus. Each fall and winter, we’ve been using more and more carex along with evergreen perennials to create some pretty amazing effects. My all time favourite is carex morrowii evergold. There are so many new varieties of carex coming out the past few years it’s really hard to keep up. Folks, if you’re new to grasses, proceed slowly. Try a few this fall and see how they can heighten the effect of your late summer, fall and winter garden. I like to plant them fairly close together for an instant effect and to choke out weeds. The basic rule, however, is to plant them as far apart as their height. The grasses I have mentioned are not invasive and they will all add a whole new dimension to your late summer and fall garden.

Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs captain Wesley Berg had one goal in Game 4 of the Minto Cup finals Wednesday night. The A’s lost to the Six Nations Arrows 10-7, with the eastern team tying up the series at two games each.
Six Nations even Minto Cup series Adanacs bounce back in Game 4, but it’s not enough to notch a win By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The Minto Cup finals is a best-of-three series now. Th e S i x N at i o n s Arrows evened up the junior A championship Wednesday night, defeating the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs 10-7 in Game 4 at the Langley Events Centre. Coquitlam had a better showing than Tuesday’s Game 3 19-5 drubbing, but still struggled to put the ball in the net, particularly in the second half of the match. “When you get the opportunities, you have to bury them,” said
Adanacs head coach Neil Doddridge. “But our guys are giving it every shift.” If two losses in a row had rattled the Adanacs coach, he wasn’t showing it after Wednesday’s game. “If you told us that we would be in a best-ofthree in the Minto Cup at the beginning of the summer, we would have taken it,” he said. “I”ve said since the beginning, we are built for series play. We are very healthy.” Game 4 started well for the Adanacs, who scored two goals in the first 18 seconds before Challen Rogers made it 3-0 two minutes into the game. However, the lead would not last for long, with the Six Nations Arrows responding with two goals less than a minute apart. Arrows forward
Haodais Maracle scored off a pass from Six Nations captain Johnny Powless before Breandon Bomberry found the back of the net, also assisted by Powless. By the first few minutes of the second period, the Arrows had tied things with a goal from Josh Johnson. Coquitlam’s Tyler Pace briefly made it 4-3 for the Adanacs, but that would be the only offence his club could muster in the middle frame. Powless scored two in a row for the Six Nations squad, before Ian Martin made it 6-4 on a great individual effort that saw him circle the net and burry the ball past A’s net minder Peter Dubenski. The Arrows kept up their quick pace in the third and didn’t allow the Adanacs to close the gap,
even when Bomberry took a five-minute major for high sticking. The A’s Jean Luc Chetner made it 8-5 with a power play goal, while Wesley Berg also chipped in, however a shorthanded marker by the Arrows’ Johnson didn’t give Coquitlam much opportunity to close the gap. Johnson was named player of the game for his four goals and two assist performance, while Challen Rogers received the honour for the Adanacs. Despite the loss, Coquitlam goalie Peter Dubenski was solid in net, something his coach remarked on after the game. “We had great goaltending,” Doddridge said. “I have never seen Pete have two bad ones in a row.”
Any hope that the Adanacs would be able to sweep their eastern opponents were dashed Tuesday night, when the club lost to the Arrows 19-5 in Game 3. Th e S i x N at i o n s Arrows struggled during the first two games, but any signs of rust were shaken off early, as the club dominated all three periods. In that game, Johnson opened the scoring for the visiting team but Jr. Adanacs captain Wesley Berg quickly responded with a goal and setup a second marker when he fed Eli McLaughlin to make it 2-1. That would be the last time Coquitlam would hold the lead for the rest of the game. Waves of Arrows forwards crashed the Adanacs’ end as the team
scored seven unanswered goals before McLaughlin broke the streak with Coquitlam’s third goal of the game. Jean Luc Chetner an Tyler Pace also scored for the home team, but it was not enough to quell the dominating Arrows offence. Six Nations finished up the game with another lengthy goal streak, with Johnson eventually scoring five, while Ian Martin had a hat trick. Captain Johnny Powless led the game in points with two goals and five assists, while brother Quinn Powless had two goals and two assists. Both clubs were expected to play Thursday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline. The next game is tonight (Friday, Aug. 22) at the Langley Events Centre at 8 p.m.
Coquitlam will be busy with lacrosse action next week with a national championship in town. S t a r t i n g M o n d a y, t h e Tri-City Bandits will host the 2014 Canadian L a c r o s s e Association President’s Cup a t t h e Po i r i e r Sport and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St., Coquitlam). The event comes to B.C. every four years and involves top NLL and senior A players competing in a round robin, with each team playing six games over five days to qualify for the top four for the semifinals, happening on Aug. 30. The medal games are on Aug. 31. Besides the local club hosts — the six-time provincial winners — the other teams participating in the senior B lacrosse contest are the: Akwesasne O u t l a w z , Kahnawake M o h a w k s , N a n a i m o Timbermen, O n o n d a g a Redhawks, St. Albert Miners and Six Nations Rivermen.
