CIVIC ELECTION FINANCES
Is limiting election spending enough? MLA Robinson wants contribution limits, too GAry McKennA
The Tri-CiTy News
Two former Coquitlam city councillors who are
now Tri-City MLAs will make up part of a special committee examining regulations limiting how much municipal election candidates can spend on their campaigns. But one of them is concerned the process is not going far enough. Both Coquitlam-
Maillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson, who is deputy chair, and Port Moody-Coquitlam BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer are veteran civic campaigners who said they will draw on their local election experience for their committee work. Robinson, who is a
member of the three-person NDP minority on the provincial committee, said the government should also be looking at implementing caps on donations, restricting the amount a donor can contribute to a campaign. This would force candidates to seek out multiple funding sources rather than
contact the tri-city news: newsroom@tricitynews.com
just relying on one or two major donors, Robinson said. “Just expense limits is not going to change a whole lot,” she told The TriCity News. “If your limit is $30,000 but you can get that completely funded from one source… is that really going to help?”
But Reimer said the committee is simply following the recommendations of the Local Government Elections Task Force. That group released a report in 2010 stating that limiting how much a candidate can spend would lead to a reduction in large contributions without
limiting “the democratic discourse and the variety of voices that can be heard in an election.” “We are honouring the recommendations that came forward,” Reimer told The Tri-City News. “They said expense limits.” see SIZE OF, page A7

RIVERVIEW HOSPITAL GROUNDS
2015’s first Riverview tree walk is dedicated to Haberger’s memory
COQ.
sue’s Garden Patch will be on March 22 tour
Geotechnical soil tests are being conducted this week around Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park as the city tries to determine the feasibility of building a proposed performance facility on the lake’s eastern shore. According to a city press release, detours will be set up as construction crews conduct their work, which was scheduled to begin on March 16. Coquitlam has announced plans to build a performance and events plaza on the shores of Lafarge Lake, which would be used to host concerts and special events, including the Canada Day celebrations. The plans show a concrete stage and terraced slope with seating for up to 1,000 spectators. The project is expected to cost between $1 million and $2 million. For more information about the project, go to www. coquitlam.ca/parksplanning.

The Tri-CiTy News
Sue Haberger was known for her gardening work at Finnie’s Garden in the grounds of Riverview Hospital. Even when the provincial government tried to seal off the site, she cut a hole in the fence and continued, returning and cutting bigger holes until officials gave up. “She was our bright light, she was absolutely great at everything,” said Norma Gillespie, a longtime Riverview preservationist. This year’s first Riverview Tree Walk, on March 22, will be dedicated to the memory of Haberger, who died two years ago. The Riverview Horticultural Centre Society has been working on a new garden to be called Sue’s Garden Patch
and her favourite flowers, daffodils, are appropriately sprouting at the plot’s entrance. The society is also continuing its work promoting preservation of the 244-acre hospital grounds, which feature more than 160 variety of trees. “We want people to understand the heritage value of the site and doing everything to include the buildings as therapeutic,” Gillespie said. “We’re looking at 102 years since the West Lawn [building] opened up.”
TREE WALK INFO
• Riverview Horticultural Centre Society’ guided tree tour, led by a qualified arborist, begins at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 22 at the upper entrance of the Henry Esson Young Building. A site map is available at www. rhcs.org. For more information, call 604-290-9910. Participants are encouraged to wear footwear appropriate for the terrain and weather conditions. ljonca@tricitynews.com
BC HOUSING HAS RIVERVIEW It’s official, BC Housing has officially taken over responsibility for the Riverview site. In early February, BC Housing took over the property from the Ministry of Technology Innovation and Citizen’s Services while the 244-acre property is still in the midst of a visioning process. Now, according to the project website, BC Housing’s Provincial Rental Housing Corporation will be looking after management and administration of leasing, facility maintenance and filming co-ordination, and BC Housing will continue to work with the city of Coquitlam on land use consultation for the property. Tenants have already been informed that there will be no change to their lease agreements and a date for the next open house for the visioning process is expected this spring. @dstrandbergTC

PORT COQUITLAM
PoCo staff’s Fremont recommendation will go to council GaRy McKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam council will get a chance to vote on an alignment option for the new Fremont Connector at next week’s meeting. City staff have written a
report recommending that the two-lane portion north of Prairie Avenue run parallel to the BC Hydro right of way. On the south side of Prairie, where the road will be four lanes, staff recommends the option that connects Burns Road at Prairie.
According to a staff report, selecting a route option in the area is difficult because “each of the alignments would have significant impacts and no one route is a clearly superior alternative.” For example, one of the
options for north of Prairie was following Devon Road. But the report said that alignment was less direct and would have impacts on agricultural land. The other option on Cedar Drive would be cheaper but would have
a dramatic impact on an established neighbourhood and pass through a number of school and park zones. Laura Lee Richard, the city’s director of development services, said if council goes ahead with the staff
recommendation, it will have to buy some land to accommodate the route. But identifying which land will need to be acquired is listed in the “next steps” section of the report and Richard said it is too early to estimate what the
property might cost. Once an alignment option is chosen, the city will also have to go to the Agricultural Land Commission for comments and approval.

TRANSPORTATION REFERENDUM
Referendum vs. plebiscite: the first question THE QUESTION
Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5% sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades. You can read more questions in this series at www.tricitynews.com.
Isn’t it really a non-binding plebiscite?
THE ANSWER
Technically, yes, the vote is a plebiscite under provincial law. But practically, there’s little difference, except that it operates under different legislation. “On the surface, to voters there is not really any discernible difference,” Elections BC spokesman Don Main said. The plebiscite is not legally binding but the provincial government has promised to proceed with the proposed 0.5% sales tax increase to fund improvements if a majority of residents across Metro Vancouver vote in favour. Elections BC defines a plebiscite as a cabinetordered vote on a matter of public concern conducted under the Election Act that “may be binding on government” while a referendum is held under the Referendum Act and the results are “usually binding.” The 2011 HST referendum was not technically binding either in the sense that government was not legally forced to repeal the harmonized sales tax after losing the vote.
50 over
GORDON CAMPBELL
JORDAN BATEMAN
MAYOR GREG MOORE
It happened only because Premier Gordon Campbell promised government would abide by the outcome when he okayed the referendum. His decision followed a successful initiative petition by anti-HST forces. Under B.C.’s law governing initiatives, the province had the option of sending the Fight HST campaign’s proposed repeal legislation to the legislature for debate or holding a referendum on it. Campbell chose the latter. Had he accepted the leg-
islation for debate instead, the BC Liberal majority could have simply refused to pass it — at its political peril. Legally, Fight HST’s eventual referendum win still only required government to forward the draft repeal bill to the house for debate, not to actually pass it. But blocking it then would have been politically suicidal for a government already deeply wounded by the HST debacle. Representatives of the Yes and No campaigns in the Congestion
Improvement Tax vote both say it would be similarly unthinkable for the province to ignore the outcome of the transit and transportation vote. “Politically, that would just be unbelievable,” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said. No campaign head Jordan Bateman said he believes the tax is a go if the vote is Yes but doesn’t believe the spending commitments are necessarily binding.

PORT
Canola now ships from PCT
Pacific Coast Terminals, known for the huge, yellow piles of sulphur it ships from the Port Moody waterfront, started to handle canola oil on the weekend and the first load reportedly went smoothly into the tanks. The oil that may be handled on the site is a food-grade vegetable oil. The technology that is currently being used to handle ethylene glycol will be applied to the canola oil. PCT expects to handle 400,000 tonnes of canola oil annually for the next two years before the production is increased to 750,000 tonnes. The product will be exported primarily to markets in Asia and will add $1 billion in exports to the $1.5 billion already contributed to the Canadian economy. Wade Leslie, PCT’s vice-president and general manager, said the first loading of the Galaxy Spruce on Saturday went well. The ship wasn’t loaded to capacity for the first trial run but future loads will be to 44,000 tonnes. Canada produces 15% of the world’s annual canola supply, which translates to $13 billion to the Canadian economy, according to PCT. There has been a 40% decrease in ethylene glycol shipments since 2007, so PCT has pursued other business opportunities. Leslie said potash exports are planned to be running in late 2016; accommodating that product requires dredging in Burrard Inlet; PCT hopes to receive permits in time to start that work this fall. ljonca@tricitynews.com

Coming up with a way of determining how much a candidate can spend while taking into account the office they are seeking and the size of their municipality will not be easy, she said. The task force outlined the difficulty of a onesize-fits-all approach in their report, noting some submissions to the task force had suggested a $1 per capita formula for each community. “This would result in candidates in Vancouver being able to spend $628,621 but those in Zeballos [a village on Vancouver Island] only $161,” the report stated. “Careful consideration of the design of the limits is needed to ensure the limits work in B.C.’s diverse communities.” Instead, the province is looking at a base amount for communities that range in size from 0 to 10,000 people. Reimer and Robinson said a formula would be determined to establish expense limits based on population. Last week, The Tri-City News published statistics it had compiled from the recently released financial disclosure documents from the November 2014 civic elections. That data showed that of the more
MLA SELINA ROBINSON than $312,000 raised by the nine elected candidates in Coquitlam in November, close to $169,000 (54%) came from the development industry. In Port Moody and Port Coquitlam, unions made up a larger piece of the political contributions pie. PoCo, for example, saw 15.9% of the $115,458 raised by the seven council winners come from labour, a percentage that increases when Mayor Greg Moore’s donations are removed from the total (mayoral candidates tend to have to spend more on their campaigns, which can skew the results). In Port Moody, 33.2% of all contributions to the seven winning candidates came from unions, a percentage that increases to 41.5% when Mayor Mike Clay’s totals are removed from the equation. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

Shampoo
The average woman applies more than 500 chemicals and daily. more!
Deodorant
Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?
Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

PROVINCIAL POLITICS
Horgan (a Yes voter) says wage hike ‘tepid’ A 20-cent increase to the minimum wage won’t buy a cup of coffee or a phone call, and it’s not enough to get low-income earners out of poverty, says the B.C. NDP leader. But John Horgan isn’t ready to commit to a dollar figure for B.C.’s 110,400 employees who make the minimum wage. Instead, he said last week he prefers a collaborative approach to raising the hourly rate for minimum wage workers, starting with a conversation with the BC Chamber of Commerce. “It has to be part of a collaborative process,” Horgan told members of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce who attended a luncheon last Friday to hear him speak. Horgan’s comments come as the province commits to tying the minimum wage to increases in B.C.’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), starting with a 20 cent hike Sept. 15 that will bring the general minimum hourly wage to $10.45 from $10.25.
JOHN HORGAN, NDP Calling the BC Federation of Labour’s Fight for $15 Campaign a “big objective,” he acknowledged that reaching such a milestone couldn’t be done overnight and “wouldn’t be an edict from me,” if he were elected premier. But Horgan said tying the minimum wage to the CPI is a good first step. The issue seemed to resonate with some chamber members, who talked about the minimum wage at the end of Horgan’s presentation, with one business executive raising concerns about the impact on small businesses or larger businesses that already pay more but would have to match the increase. Horgan’s response was that low income earners with more disposable income would simply spend it in their community, not stick it in a tax haven,

the initiative. The policy change, announced by the B.C. government last week, would tie the wage to the CPI of the previous year, and where there is a negative CPI, the minimum wage would stay the same. “The Tri-Cities Chamber Policy Committee is in the process of researching the effects of minimum wage on our membership and is interested to know how B.C.’s minimum wage affects
your business,” the letter states, with members encouraged to provide their feedback. Aaron Robinson, the chamber’s public policy advisor, said in an email to The Tri-City News the group is developing a policy on the minimum wage to better able to represent its members when the issue comes up at the B.C. Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting in May. @dstrandbergTC

What is the right number for B.C.’s minimum wage? That’s the question the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is asking its 1,000 members in an email letter this week. With the minimum wage in this province set to go up to $10.45 per hour from $10.25 in September, and future increases to be tied to B.C.’s Consumer Price Index, the local chamber wants to know what TriCities businesses think of

EXISTING 500 KV CIRCUITS
Stringing of the transmission line (conductors) along the new transmission towers for the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project has begun. Helicopters are required for this work. The contractor has obtained the necessary permits and permissions and is in compliance with Transport Canada requirements. Conductor ends will need to be joined with the use of an implosive connector that is a metallic sleeve with a small charge in it for each conductor. Using safe and controlled methods, the sleeves are detonated which compresses (welds) the conductor ends together. This split-second process will create several flashes with smoke and very loud bangs. Traffic control measures will be in place as needed. Work hours will conform to municipal bylaws. The new 247 kilometre, 500 kilovolt transmission line between Merritt and Coquitlam will expand the capacity of the system that brings power to businesses and homes in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

benefits of Mayors’ Council plan. “We need to have senior levels of government step up,” said Horgan, who said he hopes the federal government’s share of road and transit improvements will be raised as an issue during the expected October 2015 election and that the B.C. premier would make some commitments as well. The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is also on record as supporting the Yes campaign in the upcoming mail-in referendum.

ultimately benefiting local businesses and the local economy. Later, in an interview with The Tri-City News, Horgan admitted he was surprised at the premier’s announcement, which he said appeared to come out of nowhere. He also noted B.C.’s $10.45 is less than what minimum wage earners make in other provinces, including Ontario, where the minimum wage is $11 an hour. Horgan said the wage hike is a “tepid” response to concerns by poverty activists and the BC Fed’s minimum wage campaign, suggesting that collaborating with stakeholders, including the BC Chamber of Commerce, would be a good place to start to come to a compromise. On another hot, timely topic, Horgan wore a Yes button and said he and several Metro Vancouver NDP MLAs will be voting that way in the upcoming transit plebiscite because they believe their constituents will benefit from improvements that will be paid for by the 0.5% sales tax increase. But Horgan expressed concern about the strength of the No side and worried that concerns about TransLink governance would overshadow the

OUR OPINION
Keep it green and clean – and you’ll save bears’ lives i
f you live in the tricities, you should lock up your green waste bin and keep it clean. that’s the advice of local experts and conservation officers who are hoping for a safe and conflict-free year with no bears destroyed and less aggressive coyote and raccoon populations. this is possible if everyone — whether your home sits against a green belt or backs on to a busy street — follows experts’ advice to eliminate all animal attractants, including pet food, dirty barbecues and food waste. think you don’t have any animals living near your house? think again. even if bears aren’t coming to your driveway or backyard, they could be walking along neighbouring greenbelts and their sensitive noses may be attracted to your dirty green waste bin. that’s because deep inside that swill you can’t bear to touch are

morsels of carbohydrate and protein goodness that are like junk food treats to bruins. and it’s not just bears that are active in our region; the raccoon population is likely growing as well, drawn to the garbage that’s easily obtained through
unlocked green waste bins, as are rats, which can be a problem, too. deer are attracted to lawns and gardens in the belcarra area, drawing in the occasional cougar, one of which had to be destroyed in Port moody last year; and coyotes are coming

into town, too, looking for rodents, which are attracted to — again — garbage. as we build further up mountainsides, eliminating wild animal habitat and food sources, it’s even more important that we lock up our waste bins, preferably inside a shed or garage. and keeping a green waste bin clean is as simple as wrapping leftover food or placing it into a compostable paper bag and then into the cart. there’s no point in finger-pointing or placing blame on the problem of wild animal conflicts. sure, more people will be moving up the mountains as developments are built while those in older neighbourhoods that were once forests are just as at risk of luring wild animals if they don’t take care. it’s important we all make an effort not just this spring and summer but all year and every year.

TRANSPORTATION REFERENDUM
Politicians, do your jobs The Editor, The elected municipal leaders in most Metro Vancouver cities have allowed unbridled development without consideration to the impact of their decisions. Flooding and erosion exists in many new areas. Wildlife is routinely killed for trying to exist in what has been their home for generations. School boards scramble to try to accommodate the influx of children. The existing streets and highways are clogged with people trying to go about the business of living in their new homes. And how are the municipal governments, whose own negligence has caused these problems, reacting? At this late date, they are meeting with the school districts and are proud of the fact that there may be schools built in the next few years. Some of them sell wildlifeproof garbage containers to their citizens while others fine individuals if it’s found that wild animals dare return to the areas they have always known and try to feed themselves. And transportation? Most of the municipal governments have jumped on the Yes side of the transportation referendum, with the mayors proposing a .5% increase to the sales tax to fund transportation improvements. It is a perfect solution for the politicians. It takes away from what should be the real focus, which is that they did not do the job for which they were elected: to
CELERY!
The Editor, Re. “B.C. minimum wage to be tied to inflation” (www.tricitynews.com). Twenty cents? Please tell me what you can buy for 20 cents. You can’t buy a stamp — you would have to work five hours to collect enough extra money to buy a stamp. A chocolate bar at $1.60? You would have to work eight hours to take home enough extra cash for that. If you want a one-zone adult ticket on SkyTrain, you would have to work 13 hours to collect enough extra money for that extravagance. I went to the grocery store and selected one medium-sized carrot and 20 cents was not enough to buy it — but I could buy one stalk of celery. So I would have to work only one hour to improve my standard of living one stalk of celery’s worth. Jane Shoemaker, Coquitlam
effectively manage their cities. They can’t lose with this referendum. If the vote is Yes, they can breathe a sigh of relief, continue to rake in thousands of dollars from developers at election time, continue to vote themselves raises and pat themselves on the back for a job well done. If the vote is No, they can blame the voters for the transportation mess they created. I find it interesting that one of the arguments for the new tax is that millions of people will be moving to this area and transportation is needed to accommodate them. Guess what? If each of the municipalities’ elected governments did the job for which they were elected, any influx of people could and should be managed as it happens. If there are no solutions to negative community impacts, stop the new development. A new tax is not needed. What is needed is for our elected managers to do the job we have assigned them. Jonathan Myers, Port Coquitlam
Facts paint a different portrait of TransLink The Editor, Re. “Gravy train” (Letters, The Tri-City News, March 6). Letter writer Rick Evon reflects a widespread view that TransLink manages money poorly and that the proposed congestion improvement tax will reward “government unions, mayors and especially TransLink.” The facts paint a different picture. In spite of anecdotes and sound bites about TransLink’s problems, Jim Pattison, 19 out of 22 of the region’s mayors, MLAs from both sides of the legislature, the premier, the minister of transportation and leading business groups supporting the
Yes campaign pay attention to what auditors and credit-rating agencies say, including this from Moody’s in November 2014: “The Aa2 rating assigned to TransLink is supported by ‘solid governance and management practices’ and a ‘track record of finding cost efficiencies.’” The latest (2012) independent audit of TransLink determined it was “not wasteful” and that compensation levels were “reasonable,” prompting then-transportation minister Mary Polak to call it “world-class.” Further, it was recently rated the most popular transit agency in North America by a study out of California.
PRESENTING SPONSOR
As for the direct beneficiaries of a Yes vote, they are disproportionately low-income people, students, seniors, disabled people and those currently unable to access frequent transit. They are not on any “gravy train” — they don’t even have access to a bus. TransLink needs better governance and certainly could be improved. Unfortunately, a No vote will only guarantee that the region will be denied desperately-needed transportation improvements that will benefit everyone. Peter Ladner, Vancouver Editor’s note: Mr. Ladner is a board member of the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition.
ELECTION SPENDING
More transparency needed in finances
The Editor, Re. “Voters need info on contributions” (Letters, The Tri-City News, March 13) and “Developers dug deep for city elections” (front page, March 11). Thanks for the article and we agree donation and expenditure information is valuable to voters. In future elections, we hope to see more transparency and disclosure before elections, as well as clear rules, including caps on donations.

Put cenotaph in a new square at hall
The Editor, Re. “Housing in Legion proposal” (The Tri-City News, March 13). I agree with Port Moody Coun. Diana Dilworth that a cenotaph hidden behind a redeveloped Royal Canadian Legion would be inappropriate. I have advocated for many years the need for a weather-proof public square in Port Moody (similar to the former glass-roofed Plaza of Nations in Vancouver). A new public square might be located in Pioneer Park in front of city hall (or on the old fire hall site). A cenotaph in Pioneer Park would complement a new public square. D.B. Wilson, Port Moody

WILLOW THE HUNGRY HUSKY
Willow going to Walnut Grove Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Willow, the Siberian husky found severely emaciated and wandering in Maple Ridge earlier this year, is getting a new lease on life with a forever home. A long list of potential pet guardians had come forward since hearing about the dog in the news, hoping to give the pooch a loving home. Willow will be going
to a family in Langley’s Walnut Grove area. “We are so grateful to the many, many applicants who applied to give this darling girl a new and better home, including the Good Samaritan who found her and brought her to the SPCA,” said Maple Ridge SPCA assistant branch manager Faydra Nichols in a release. “Because of her past, she has a number of behaviours
that will need continued work by someone with breed experience. We were fortunate enough to find a family who has experience with this breed and they’re so happy to include Willow as a new, furry family member.” Willow was brought to the SPCA in late January with nothing but gravel in its stomach. Estimated to be between one and two years old, Willow weighed
only 15 kg when found, compared to a normal weight of about 24 kg for a dog of that age and size. Since then, Willow has gained 9 kg and is a friendly, outgoing dog. “She’s... much stronger, much more interested in people — and animals — around her, and she loves to run and go for car rides and long walks by the river,” Nichols said. “She absolutely loves going into the

water — it’s hard to keep her out.” The BC SPCA’s Cruelty Investigations Department identified Willow’s former owner, a Coquitlam resident and university student in his 20s, in February, and has recommended animal cruelty charges under both the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Criminal Code. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

METRO VANCOUVER
Drilling to resume on stalled water tunnel Project to ensure water flow survives earthquake Jeff Nagel Black Press
A stalled Metro Vancouver megaproject to drill a $240-million drinking water tunnel under the Fraser River to serve Surrey and surrounding cities should get back on track by early April. Work was halted last October when the tunnelboring machine ran into trouble about 800 m into the planned 1 km Port Mann Water Supply Tunnel between Surrey and Coquitlam. Repairs to the complex machine are nearly complete and tunnel cutting could resume in
a few weeks, according to Metro Vancouver major projects director Frank Huber. It hasn’t been easy to perform repairs to the cutting head 50 m below the bottom of the river. Contractors had to first freeze the ground near the bore head to hold back ground water and soil under significant pressure that far down. That was done by building a platform in the middle of the river from which crews injected liquid nitrogen into the saturated soil. They then had to chip large amounts of frozen tunnel muck out of the excavation chamber before a fix could begin. Once the remaining 200 m of the tunnel is drilled, the 3.5 m diameter water pipe will be installed to carry Coquitlam reservoir water to residents south of the Fraser. It’s needed not
Speak up! You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com just because of the region’s rapidly growing population but, also, to ensure drinking water isn’t cut off in an earthquake. “When we have a major earthquake, this crossing will survive,” Huber said. “It will allow us to feed water south of the Fraser River.” River scouring damaged the existing tunnel under the river in 1997 and forced severe water restrictions until it could be repaired. The delays have put the project behind schedule — the drilling that began a year ago was supposed to wrap up by late 2014 and, now, project completion has been pushed back into 2016. But
Huber said no cost overruns are expected because of a sizable contingency put in the budget. “Everyone knows it’s risky business, it’s underground work and things can happen that are unforeseeable.” Metro officials know well the trouble they can run into drilling water tunnels. They are finally commissioning longdelayed twin tunnels between the Capilano Reservoir and the new Seymour filtration plant 10 years after the work began. That $820-million project first hit trouble when the original tunnelling contractor halted work, citing unstable rock. A lawsuit for breach of contract launched by the regional district is still before the courts. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

Now, while you eagerly wait to see if your favourite NHL team makes it to the playoffs, check out some of these great hockey books: There are many fantastic books out there for young hockey fans. A must-read is Roch Carrier’s iconic The Hockey Sweater, which features hilarious illustrations by Sheldon Cohen and tells the story of what happens when your mom orders you the wrong team’s jersey:
Quelle horreur! For children just learning to read, there is Hockey Opposites by Per-Henrik Gürth, which explains basic hockey lingo and concepts with colourful illustrations. Elementary school age puck enthusiasts will enjoy The Highest Number in the World by Roy MacGregor, which is about a young Hayley Wickenheiser fan, and My Day with the Cup by Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby. Finally, middle school
students should check out Home Ice Advantage by Tom Earle, which recently won a BC Young Reader’s Choice Award. For adults, there are many exhilarating player memoirs to check out, including… Orr: My Story by the Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr is a must-read. Orr is personable and humble, and gives great insight on both the past and current state of the game. If you prefer reading tellall memoirs, Orr’s big bad Bruins teammate Derek Sanderson’s Crossing the Line: The Outrageous Story of a Hockey Original reveals how Sanderson went from being the highest-paid athlete in the world to losing it all. Other autobiographies include: Detroit Red Wings legend Gordie Howe’s Mr. Hockey; Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Chris Chelios’ Overtime;
nine-time Stanley Cup winner Larry Robinson’s The Great Defender: My Hockey Odyssey; and the late, great Canadiens forward Jean Béliveau’s My Life in Hockey. For those interested in behind-the-scenes stories, TSN’s Bob McKenzie’s Hockey Confidential: Inside Stories from People Inside the Game includes interesting and heartfelt interviews with current players and industry insiders. Chapters include “Uncle John, Young John” on the National Lacrosse League’s all-time leading scorer John Tavares and his namesake nephew, New York Islanders Captain John Tavares; and “Recalculating,” which features an all-encompassing discussion with Karl Subban about his move from Jamaica to Sudbury as a child and raising his three sons P.K., Malcolm and Jordan, who were all drafted into the NHL. Another excellent read is Hockey Card Stories by
Sportsnet’s Ken Reid, which takes a hilarious look at old hockey cards through the eyes of the legends themselves, including the New York Islanders’ Denis Potvin and the Bruins’ Phil Esposito. A highlight is Rogatien Vachon’s 1971-’72 card from before the invention of Photoshop, where his head was crudely pasted onto the body of a different LA Kings player: “Every time I sit down and answer my mail, that card is always creeping up. And I always get a laugh when I see it.” This book is perfect for anyone who still has their prized O-Pee-Chee card collection sitting somewhere in their parents’ attic or those who like to laugh at 1970s fashion and hairstyles. Countless more hockey books can be found at your local library: Score!

Students in Avant Dance Co.’s senior elites class will be performing Five Senses: A Society Without at the Terry Fox Theatre on March 28. The piece was choreographed by Port Coquitlam resident and Avant owner Jocelyn Wozencroft.
BALLET DANCE
Avant takes a page from the five senses for its first show Students explore the idea of losing a sense, and the world of the professional dancer SARAH PAYNE TRI-CITY NEWS
Imagine a world in which we lose our ability to see, hear, smell, taste or feel touch — and imagine what that would look like on the stage. A Port Coquitlam choreographer is turning that idea into dance in Five Senses: A Society Without, at the Terry Fox Theatre on March 28. Performing in the show will be young dancers in the senior elites class at the Burnaby-based Avant Dance Co. “It’s based on the premise of what do we do as a society if we lost our senses, and we explore it based on dance,” said Jocelyn Wozencroft, Avant’s owner and choreographer. Wozencroft allowed a few liberties when crafting the piece to tailor it to a
dancer’s perspective — balance stands in place of smell, the sense of touch is told through a pas de deux performed with a guest male dancer and a sense of voice is used for sound. “We explore these five dancers and how they’re functioning in society, how they lose their senses, the emotional fallout and the response,” Wozencroft said. Choreographing the piece was a challenging process as well, she said, with each sense “heightened” while she was crafting that part of the show. The result is a contemporary ballet based on the rigorous training in classic fundamentals the dancers are engaged in on a a near-daily basis. “We’re really pushing the boundaries on this piece,” Wozencroft said. “There’s no set and very minimal costumes to highlight the technique, training and their unique artistic style.” Wozencroft is also working closely with the Terry Fox Theatre’s lighting director to perfect several lighting effects that will enhance the piece. Musically, Wozencroft is using everything from classical pieces to Jennifer Lawrence’s “Hanging Tree” from the Hunger Games.
JOCELYN WOZENCROFT The results will appeal to a broad audience, whether they’re watching their first ballet or have been a fan of the art for many years. It will also give the dancers, who
range in age from 13 to 17 years old, one of their first glimpses into the world of performing. Wozencroft said the dancers are competing regularly but she wanted to give the senior dancers, many of whom are already investigating plans to enter professional ballet companies within a year or two, some true performance experience. The Five Senses ballet is giving them a chance to learn the stage craft, lighting and costume design, the life of a professional dancer — including the need to pick up choreography quickly and train intensively to be ready for a show in a short amount of time — and, down the road, what it’s like to go on tour. The dancers are already training at a high level six days a week, logging about 30 hours weekly at the Burnaby studio, honing their skills and developing their own artistic style, and Wozencroft feels the performance experience will go a long way to helping them make the transition to professional dancers. “I would eventually like to turn this into a multi-evening show, take it on tour and to schools, to rural places in
B.C. that don’t necessarily get the company tours and introduce the art into a new generation,” Wozencroft said. She’s also hoping this show becomes a catalyst for future ballets created by guest choreographers. Wozencroft trained with the Goh Ballet Academy and Richmond Academy of Dance, as well as the National Ballet of Canada, Royal Winnipeg Ballet School and the Boston Ballet School. She began her career with the Banff Professional Dance Company, followed by Ballet Central in England and was a principal dancer with several companies in England and Canada. Wozencroft has obtained her registered teacher status with the Royal Academy of Dance, one of the highest standards in teaching. • Five Senses: A Society Without is at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam) on Saturday, March 28 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door.

Basia Wabik paints her latest artwork at her Vancouver studio. Babik’s art will be part of the Polish Canadian Art Fusion Exhibition, the Polonez Tri-City Polish Association’s second annual show.
An upcoming art show in Port Moody will feature works by Polish artists celebrating their culture, heritage and their links to Canada. Hosted by the Polonez Tri-City Polish Association, the second annual Polish Canadian Art Fusion Exhibition is at the Inlet Theatre Galleria from March 24 until April 2. Organizer Honorata Kostka hopes the event
will help to show the art of B.C. artists with Polish backgrounds that have been influenced by their heritage. “This is a good way to cultivate our culture because it shows the fusion between the Polish and Canadian culture and the beauty of Canada,” Kostka said. “The exhibition is to show the other side of the culture that’s more traditional.” There will be 20 different artists showcasing their paintings, along with one group of three artists who collaborate on their artwork. The exhibit will feature nearly 100 paintings in total. Basia Wabik, an artist trained at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, will be showing two of her paintings; much of her work is inspired by the Second World War. “Lately what I’ve been doing is merging old
Melanie
World War 2 photography into an almost surrealist type of realm,” Wabik said. The inaugural exhibition was planned to celebrate the Polonez Association’s 25th anniversary, Kostka said, while also giving artists a chance to sell their paintings. The event’s success prompted organizers to bring the show back to the Galleria. “Being that Port Moody is the City of the Arts it’s very appropriate that they have brought the arts to us,” said Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer. “[It’s] a multicultural city, it brings understanding and tolerance for each other.” The grand opening is on March 29, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and will include violin music by Bohdan Siedlecki and a light lunch.

was six points behind, falling to the Abbotsford team 69-63. Yale’s win came in large part thanks to the play of one Grade 12 guard, Jauquin Bennett-Boire, who racked up more than 40 points in the game. The 17-year-old also had five steals and 16 rebounds in the win. Several Ravens were recognized for their effort

during the 2015 provincial tournament. Mike West, who scored 19 points in the finals, and Jomari Reyes, who had 20 points, were named firstteam all stars, while Scott Barker received honours for his defensive effort during the tournament. Terry Fox also won the School Spirit Award. see KODIAKS, page A20

bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen.
• Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away from another
and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home.
have become more desireable, especially as the “staycation” has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project.
• Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe

ments aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets.
Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will provide a solid return on their investment.

Renovate • Redecorate • Refresh How you can finance your home improvement projects Many homeowners recognize that improving
ond mortgages. When homeowners apply for home equity loans or lines of credit, they are borrowing against the equity value in their homes. A home equity loan is a term, or closed-end, loan. It is a one-time sum that will be paid off over a set amount of time with a fixed interest rate and the same payment each month. This is a onetime loan from which a person cannot borrow further. A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is like having a credit card. It’s possible to borrow a certain amount for the life of the loan, which is a set time specified by the lender. During this time, homeowners can withdraw money as it is needed up to the value of the line of credit. HELOCs typically have a variable interest rate that fluctuates and payments can vary depending on the amount of money borrowed and the current interest rates.
and maintaining a property makes a home more livable for its inhabitants and more attractive to prospective buyers when the time comes to erect a “For Sale” sign in the front yard. But a well-maintained home also provides additional benefits. Home improvements not only raise the value of individual homes, but they tend to raise neighborhood standards as well. Home improvements can create jobs and help local communities flourish economically. Maintaining a home can be a costly undertaking. Home improvement projects can be expensive whether homeowners hire professionals or tackle renovation projects on their own. The following are a handful of options homeowners can consider as they look for ways to finance renovation projects.
• Borrow against retirement funds: Some people opt to borrow against a retirement fund. If the retirement plan allows a loan without penalty, it can be another way to secure funds. Because it is the homeowner’s money, there will be no credit check required and less delay in getting the funds. Borrowers should keep in mind that taking a loan against a retirement account will usually result in a lower retirement balance than it would have been had they not borrowed money from the account — even after the funds have been repaid.
• Paying outright: Paying for the renovations upfront and in full is perhaps the simplest way to finance a project. Homeowners who have the cash to pay for renovations outright won’t have to worry about interest rates or balloon payments.
• Mortgage refinancing: Some homeowners tap into their home equity to cover home remodeling projects. Refinancing a mortgage means paying off the debt owed and starting over with a completely new loan. Refinancing comes with various fees based on the loan’s principal.
Many home renovation projects require homeowners to develop a home improvement budget. Homeowners are urged to explore all options and find the least costly loan method and the one that will present the best possibility for avoiding debt.

Renovate • Redecorate • Refresh Budget-friendly outdoor renovations Dos and don’ts of kitchen remodelling H omeowners are increasingly extending their living
spaces outside the walls of their homes. Expansive and intricate stonework patios and decked-out outdoor kitchens are the kind of additions many homeowners dream of. Those with unlimited budgets can enjoy just about any look they desire, but many homeowners may not have the money to go all the way with their outdoor living spaces. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to create budget-friendly spaces that are functional, fun and eye catching.
End-of-season sales can also be the ideal opportunity to purchase big-ticket items like a pool, a hot tub or an outdoor fireplace/fire pit. Shoppers can learn when stores discount their merchandise to make room for new inventory and then use these sales as opportunities to save.
Decks and patios are popular gathering spots outside a home, and homeowners have numerous inexpensive options at their disposal when choosing patio materials. And those who can do their own labor when installing a patio can save a substantial amount of money. Instead of higher-priced composite or resin decks, homeowners can go with standard wood, which will need to be stained periodically. The cost of patio blocks depends on the material and style. Poured concrete patios will cost less than placed blocks or stones because concrete is less labor-intensive. For those who desire the look of patio blocks without the cost, stamped concrete can mimic the look for less. Homeowners may not need to replace patio furniture, even if chairs and tables have seen better days. A can of spray paint can cover up any rusted areas or spots where paint has peeled off due to exposure to the elements. Updating cushions and purchasing a coordinating umbrella can revitalize the patio’s entire look. Defining edges of planting borders and refreshing the landscape may be all that is needed to improve the yard. This is easily achieved with inexpensive mulch and some vinyl edging. While cleaning up the yard, use a pressure washer to clean stains off of siding and patios and create a like-new appearance.
A ccording to Remodeling magazine’s “2014 Cost
DON’T over-improve the space. A fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven. When you make excessive improvements, you may not be able to recoup as much of the money spent because your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighborhood.
vs. Value Report,” a major kitchen remodeling project should enable homeowners to recoup 74.2 percent of their initial investments. Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inadvertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remodeling dos and don’ts to guide your next undertaking.
DO make sure you can afford the project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the renovation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatisfied afterward.
DO consider the way your kitchen will look with the rest of the home. Keep architectural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out of place in an ultramodern home. DON’T overlook the importance of a seasoned designer or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recommend local contractors and vendors.
A little spray paint or some new cushions can refresh older patio furniture and give your outdoor space a completely new look. Sometimes saving means repurposing antiques or items found at garage sales. Thanks to the Internet, people can easily advertise items they no longer need. From patio furniture to masonry blocks to above-ground pools, patient homeowners can find just about any item they may need to upgrade their backyards. With a little ingenuity and hard work, homeowners can still create an outdoor oasis.
DO look beyond surface details to the structural integrity of the design. The kitchen should be functional, long-lasting and beautiful. DON’T design just for today, but look to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend $50,000 every five years, look for styles and materials that will last for the long haul. Older homeowners may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobility issues down the road. DO work with what you have. A complete demolition and renovation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in major changes if something is not working (such as having to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe. Otherwise, minor upgrades may do the trick.
