numbers crucial as SD43 does its budget
Enrolment estimates can have huge impacts Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
Millions of dollars are at stake as School District 43 begins its budget consultation process next week with enrolment projections it hopes are as accurate as possible. But with new housing developments cropping up throughout the year and new people moving into the area — especially in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam — those numbers can be hard to pin down. On Tuesday, the board of education heard a detailed explanation of how enrolment numbers are projected with accuracy, as this year those finely-tuned numbers were only out by seven students out of a total enrolment of more than 30,000 — that’s less than half a per cent. Being out by even a few hundred students, as the district was in 2013, can compromise district finances. (In that year, enrolment projections were out by 222 students, equating to $1.5 million in lost funding.) And while that is not likely to be the case this year as the district is keep-

When can we count those kids? We are trying to guess eight months out.” To be able to plan its budget, SD43 had to have its enrolment projections for the following school year into the Ministry of Education by Feb. 14. For 2015/’16, the government grant will be based on a total K-to-12 student enrolment of 30,020 students, down 85 from this year.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CANADIAN MUSEUM OF HISTORY
Artifacts from Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope are now on display at the Canadian Museum of History as part of a new exhibit on the Port Coquitlam hometown hero. Fox’s family (including brother Darrell Fox, above right), his friend Doug Alward and Tri-City MP James Moore were at the Gatineau, Que., museum Wednesday for the unveiling of the display that marks the 35th anniversary of his run. Among the items in the exhibit, which is open until Jan. 24, 2016, are Fox’s Marathon of Hope T-shirt, his journal, pennants and the jug of water he collected from the Atlantic Ocean at the start of his run on April 12, 1980.
TERRY FOX TRAINING RUN: PART 4
‘When you’re thinking you’re tired, think of what Terry went through’ Last in a series...
The Terry FOX TrAiNiNG rUN
There’s plenty of inspiration for Saturday run
The Terry Fox Training Run tomorrow (Saturday) celebrates the 35th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope and will follow the 16-km Tri-City route Fox used to train for his cross-country trek. It will take runners from Westwood elementary school (3610 Hastings St., PoCo) down to Chilcott Avenue, back up to Patricia Avenue, north on Pipeline Road and west on Guildford Way, out to Ioco Road at April Road, back on Alderside and Glen Drive, looping out around Maple Creek middle school and finishing back at Westwood. The run begins at 7:30 a.m. and, for those looking to sleep in a bit, the sign dedication ceremony gets underway, also at Westwood elementary, at 9:30 a.m. A community walk will then take the crowd on a short tour of a couple of nearby points of significance — the Morrill Street home where Fox grew up and the track behind Maple Creek middle where he first learned to run with his new prosthesis. Both are within a few blocks of the starting point and are suitable for all ages. For more information, to donate or to register for the run (there is no fee to participate), visit www.terryfoxtrainingrun.com. Registration is also available at the event, starting at 6:30 a.m. Commemorative t-shirts can be purchased online or at the event for $35.

The Tri-CiTy News

f there was a publishable word for that moment when you realize a once-great idea is now edging closer to terrifying, I would use it. Hot off the heels of whittling down my time to run the 5-km portion of a triathlon (with my cycling brother and swimming sister) and full of hubris, I giddily signed up for the Terry Fox Training Run on April 4. I picked up the training pace, carefully adding more mileage to be ready for the 16-km route Fox used to prepare for the Marathon of Hope, and studied the route map online. But a persistently sore hamstring has dogged my efforts over the last couple of weeks and, well, let’s just say I haven’t seen much past 12 km. And then, in taking photos of the permanent signs marking Fox’s route through the Tri-Cities, I noticed something: hills. Not big ones, mind you, but enough of a rise to make someone who treasures the DeBoville Slough trail for its flatness a bit concerned. Someone who is definitely not concerned is Mike Kingston, the hapless Tri-City News production manager who was coerced into joining me on the run and who opts to run up mountains twice a week. For fun. He has continued his training and hill climbing steadfastly with his running club, though he admits the gruelling two-hour-plus trip up and back down Bear Mountain in Mission a

couple of weeks ago was “a little bit exhausting.” Neither the hills nor the distance is enough to give Kingston second thoughts
about Saturday’s run so I turned to another source hoping for some sympathy: Terry Fox secondary school’s Leadership 11/12
class, members of which are said to be gearing up to participate in the event. Turns out, however, that the energy and enthusiasm of youth do not extend to running 16 km at 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday (go figure). What they are keen to do is volunteer, and many of them will be marshalling runners along the route and cheering everyone on with as much hooting and hollering as possible. “I’m really interested in seeing his training route,” said Grade 12 student Kurtis Rushworth. As students of Fox’s namesake school, they know well the Marathon of Hope story: Terry Fox, PoCo Hometown Hero,
started with a toe dip in the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980 and proceeded to run a marathon every day for 143 days to raise money for cancer research; his plans to run across Canada were interrupted on Sept. 1 when the cancer that had returned made him too sick to continue. But what they didn’t know was that Fox ran more than 3,000 miles in training for over a year before he left for the east coast. “It’s unthinkable,” said Taylor Ward, also a Grade 12 student, adding later that one of the biggest lessons students learn from Fox’s story to apply in their own lives is perseverance and that, no matter how challenging school and work can get, “you have to keep pushing through.”
Recognizing that he was about to embark on a difficult challenge, both physically and mentally, Fox used a training journal to record his progress, setbacks, bumps and bruises — and even what he ate for dinner. He also wrote himself “pep talks,” said his younger brother, Darrell Fox, whether it was committing to getting through the next several days of running or expressing pride in the goals he’d met that day. “He’s constantly motivating and challenging himself in that journal, so you can just imagine what’s going on inside, what he’s not writing down,” Darrell Fox said. “Where Terry was unique was that ability to self-motivate, that’s something he was quite gifted at, I think.”
As important as motivation is preparation, said Port Moody Runner’s Den owner Paul Slaymaker. When it comes time for the runners to rouse ourselves out of bed early Saturday, that will mean dressing in layers to be ready for different weather conditions, bringing our own nutrition for an extra energy boost along the way and being ready to run a steady pace with some walking breaks if needed. The Runner’s Den will have a strong showing on Saturday with members of its half-marathon and marathon clinics doing double duty by enjoying the inaugural event and logging a long training run at the same time (the marathoners will likely put in four miles before the start of the 10-mile Training Run, Slaymaker said) to prepare for the BMO Vancouver Marathon on May 3. But what to do when the motivation begins to falter and the preparation hasn’t gone as planned? Slaymaker said there is an easy source of inspiration at hand: Terry Fox. “When you’re thinking you’re getting tired, think of what Terry went through, either in his training days or running a marathon every day,” he said. “It will be so inspirational to follow in his path. And anybody who finds it difficult just has to persevere like Terry did, and they’ll come up smiling.” spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

TRI-CITY CRIME
Man convicted in a Coq. Ridley Bent killing escapes prison Wild Card Tour A Surrey man convicted of murdering Shelley Lynn DeVoe in the fall of 2006 and dumping her body along Harper Road on Burke Mountain has escaped from the Mission Institution. Shawn William Merrick, 43, was discovered to be missing during a head count at the prison on March 31. Merrick was convicted in November 2007 of second-degree murder in the brutal killing of DeVoe, also known as Shelley Lynn
SHAWN WILLIAM MERRICK Russell, and sentenced to life. He was to have been eligible to apply for full pa-
role on Jan. 3, 2017. He was in custody on the murder charge when he was sentenced to six years in jail in connection with nine bank robberies and one attempted robbery between December 2006 and January 2007. In those crimes, Merrick approached female tellers and demanded cash, sometimes claiming to have a gun. In total, he stole just over $20,000 from financial institutions in Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, Langley
and North Vancouver. Merrick is described as 5’8” tall and 141 lb.; he has a fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair as well as a burn scar on his right forearm and several tattoos, including skulls and a dragon on his upper arms, a heart with the name “Jade” on his upper back and a skull on his chest. Anyone with information on Merrick’s whereabouts is asked to call police immediately.
A high-energy performance of musical tales woven with wisdom and intrigue. Canadian country singer-songwriter Ridley Bent brings us his keen fascination for creating characters. Whether the tempo is slow and restrained, or lively and vivacious, this Canadian country boy knows how to put on a live show. Audience meet and greet after the performance.

THE COURTS
22 months for driver in fatal MVA Nearly five years after a crash that killed a Burnaby teen, the man who was behind the wheel has been sentenced to 22 months in jail. In December, Christopher Walter Baires, 23, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in connection with the crash in Belcarra on Sept. 2, 2010. That evening, Baires was
driving home with 16-yearold Melissa Tomac and two other friends after spending the day at White Pine Beach in Belcarra Regional Park, when he tried to pass a car on Bedwell Bay Road, ignoring the double yellow lines. He passed the car but stayed in the oncoming lane as he turned a corner, at which point he lost control of his Honda Accord and smashed it into a tree. Tomac died in hospital while two other passengers
were seriously injured and spent more than a week each in hospital. In B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on Tuesday, Crown and defence lawyers made a joint sentencing submission for the nearly two-year term, followed by two years of probation, community service, a ban on consuming alcohol and a three-year driving ban. Baires originally faced nine charges; those involv-
ing impaired driving were dropped. Tomac’s parents, Mario and Dinah Tomac, said their loss has been “unbearable” and they never expected to have to bury their daughter. They have joined a group called Families for Justice, an organization formed in 2011 to support families of those killed by an impaired or aggressive driver.

Emily Macdonald, shown with Zwiep, is the youth employment facilitator who is currently working out of Riverside secondary school in PoCo. Next year, the project for students with developmental disabilities will move to a Coquitlam school. student entered the ACE-IT Culinary program for work in the food services industry because he learned that he enjoyed baking. This year, the program is at Riverside but it will move next year to a school in Coquitlam. “Our dream is for a vibrant, sustainable em-
ployment service that gives every student the opportunity to have meaningful, paid employment before they finish high school,” le Nobel said. She said she hopes the school district will find a way to allocate resources so the program can continue when the current
funding runs out.

Getting a job is a milestone for any teenager and a new youth employment initiative in School District 43 is making that dream a reality for many kids. On Tuesday, the board of education heard how Myra Zwiep and Helen Giesser are getting help in obtaining employment through the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI), a program funded by the Vancouver Foundation for students who need extra support. Both young women will be graduating in a couple of years from Riverside secondary school, where the three-year program is currently housed, and both have learned independence and how to be good employees. The students, who have developmental disabilities, want to work and have the life most teens desire. “I like to clean and cook at Hawthorne [Lodge],” said Zwiep, who told school trustees that when she makes seniors happy, she feels happy. “I want to be a star at work,” Zwiep concluded. Giesser, whose mother Birgit read a statement, said her daughter got work experience at a pizzeria through YEI and is learning how to prepare for, behave at and contribute to a work place. “She has felt those normal and necessary feelings of anticipation, nervousness, pride and satisfaction most teenagers experience when at their first job.” Rachel le Nobel, employment service co-ordinator for the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living, said YEI bridges the gap in services currently supplied by the school district because it focuses on getting paid employment for graduating students, not just work experience. Last year, the program worked with students at Heritage Woods, with several students obtaining either part- or full-time employment, and one

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
Hear all about budget at a meeting on april 7 continued from front page
The operating grant, and how the district will spend it to run schools without incurring a deficit, will be announced next Tuesday, April 7, during a 7 p.m. public meeting on the budget at Winslow Centre. But between now and Sept. 30, when a final headcount is taken for the next school year, a lot of change can occur, something the district is still trying to get a handle on. Among the areas requiring scrutiny are new neighbourhoods on Burke Mountain, where parents are lobbying for quicker construction an elementary school, Town Centre in Coquitlam, the Dominion Triangle in Port Coquitlam and even along the Evergreen Line route in
Burquitlam. Chute said the district will be monitoring the situation and planning classes accordingly but things will likely change by September.
STEADY NOS.
For now, what the numbers show is that total enrolment is flat or slightly declining in the district, with growth in the number of elementary school students offset by declining numbers of high school students as a large cohort of teenagers moves through the system. This June, for example, the district expects to lose 2,635 full-time equivalents Grade 12 students, and in September will see about 2,374 FTE new kindergarten students. Those are just projections, however, and Chute said the district is
heartened by the fact registration of five-year-olds was brisk this winter (about 85% are already signed up), which means the district is likely to meet its targets. But organizing classes for younger students is more costly because class sizes are smaller, meaning the district will have to be more efficient with the funding it gets from the province, Chute said, and in six or seven years, the district will have more kindergarten-aged students enrolled than high school students, which could have some even bigger impacts because per-student funding is the same regardless of the age of the student. The district also has to be able to accommodate new students moving into the area mid-year, even
though it doesn’t get funding for them until Sept. 30 of the following school year. In fact, the combination of such in-migration plus late-summer registration is helping to bolster enrolment by about 300 to 500 students, offsetting the loss of high school students who are graduating. Thus, keeping an eye on the numbers and who moves to the area and when is an ongoing concern, Chute said. But with last years’ numbers on target and similar expectations for this year, Chute is optimistic the numbers will be close. • For more information about this year’s SD43 budget process, which begins next week, visit www.sd43. bc.ca/budget.

The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh in on the city’s draft housing affordability strategy at an open house next week. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development services, said the meeting will give the public an opportunity to learn about the plan and offer input. He noted that while the authority for the affordable housing issue generally rests with higher levels of government, the city can play a role. “It is clearly a federal and provincial responsibility,” McIntyre said. “But when we go through a rezoning application and our development procedures, it can become an issue.” Since October 2014, city staff have been meeting with stakeholders and housing advocates to develop the draft plan. That document will be presented at next week’s meeting and feedback can be provided on how to fund any initiatives and potential trade-offs, according to a city press release. The strategy is broken up into four parts. The first section looks at ways the city can foster market innovation while another section discusses a flexible housing fund; a third portion of the document focuses on affordable living while the final portion discusses building partnerships. McIntyre acknowledged the issue is complex and both staff and council have

Giesbrecht chief again Members of the Kwikwetlem First Nation voted its council back into office this week — including the chief who earned nearly $1 million last year. On Tuesday, 48 out of an eligible 61 band members voted to return Chief Ron Giesbrecht to the top job; he defeated his only challenger, George Chaffee,
by nearly a two-to-one margin. Giesbrecht, who in 2014 received national attention for earning a 10% bonus as economic development officer — translating to more than $800,000 on a single transaction with the provincial government for property on Burke Mountain — on top of his
chief’s salary and expenses, was unavailable for comment on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Kwikwetlem also re-elected councillors Fred Hubert and Ed Hall for a fouryear term, said Jenna Cyr, executive administrative assistant. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC
DID YOU LOSE SCOOTER?
Coquitlam RCMP are searching for the owner of a red scooter found near the Blue Mountain Park washroom on March 22. Officers located the red Shoprider Explorer electric mobility scooter against a wall near the washroom. A key is required for the scooter to function and the ignition area appears to have no damage. Investigators believe the owner stopped the scooter by the washroom and could not restart it due to battery issues. The scooter has been taken to the detachment for safekeeping. Anyone with information about the scooter’s owner is asked to call police at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2015-8869.

OUR OPINION
Booze boosts B.C. economy W
ho knew that 100 years after alcohol was briefly prohibited in b.C. that the production of wines, specialty spirits and craft beer would be one of the province’s most lucrative economic drivers? according to a provincial report: • for every bottle of wine produced in this province, there is $42 of economic income generated; • the wine and grape industry produces not just tasty vintages but 10,000 jobs; • and as a whole, the wine industry generates $476 million in tourism and $222 million in taxes for an economic impact of $2 billion a year. Thus it’s no surprise that farmers’ markets, including those in Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Port Moody are allowed to serve craft wine, beer and spirit tastings, and that grocery stores will soon be stocking b.C. wines. once it was trees and fish that provided the grease for b.C.’s engine, now grapes and barley are earning that distinction.

ccording to vancouver’s Greenest City action Plan, personal vehicle use accounts for 32% of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions. as well, 70.8% of Metro vancouver residents — myself included — commute to work in a personal vehicle. How can we move people without the damaging emissions from fossil fuel-powered vehicles? There are two main ways to address this issue, keeping in mind tax dollars are always limited: We can prioritize investing in electric vehicles or we can invest in better public transit, walking and biking infrastructure. bill bennett, b.C.’s minister of energy and mines, recently announced the $10.6-million Clean Energy vehicle program expansion, which will make electric cars more affordable. but are electric cars really the best solution? Throughout this semester at Sfu, I’ve been immersed in the discussion of energy and this question: How can we achieve a future powered by sustainable energy sources? I’ve met with a range of professionals: environmental lawyers, economists, activists, researchers, business owners and even representatives from the oil and gas sector. Each expert reveals a new a side of the story, making this the most complex problem I’ve come across in my four years of university.

Most people don’t pay attention to where their energy comes from. While electric cars don’t produce emissions as you are driving, they still require energy to charge their batteries. This means that electric cars are only as green as the electricity source in the region where they’re driven. forty per cent of the world relies on coal for electricity, which is one of the highest carbon emitting fuel sources. State of Charge, a report assessing the impacts of electric vehicles, found that a fuel-efficient gasoline vehicle may produce less carbon emissions than an electric vehicle depending on where the car is charged. doesn’t vancouver’s electricity come from hydroelectric dams? I wish it were that simple. b.C. is actually part of a larger energy grid that connects with neighbouring provinces and states to allow for the trade of electricity. alberta relies on coal for approximately 50% of its electricity. unlike hydroelectric dams, coal plants can’t easily be ramped up and down to control the amount of electricity produced. This means a surplus of electricity is generated at night when demand is lower. b.C. takes advantage of this by purchasing some of the excess electricity at a rate far below the daytime cost. So when would vancouverites charge their electric
cars? Most people drive during the day. If car owners in vancouver charge their cars at night from electricity generated by coal, our electric cars are no longer so green. Carbon dioxide leads to the warming of our atmosphere. Scientists have established a carbon budget — the amount of carbon we are allowed to burn — before the Earth’s temperature increases by 2 C. If we fail to meet this target, we can expect to experience more extreme weather events, such as heat waves and rising sea levels that will flood low-lying cities. unfortunately, we are on the path to spend what’s left in our budget within 25 years. Every bit of carbon emitted counts. We can’t afford to invest in electric cars if some will be powered by coal. until our electricity grid is powered by 100% renewable sources, we shouldn’t be focusing our limited tax funds on electric cars. although electric cars are a step in the right direction, expensive government rebate programs for electric cars will only reach a small proportion of the population. our tax dollars could be used more efficiently on a system that benefits everyone and maximizes reductions in carbon emissions. Investing in public transportation and infrastructure that encourages physical activity would address climate change and health while making the best use of our tax dollars.

EDUCATION IN B.C.
What’s MLAs’ education? The Editor, In introducing Bill 11 last week, Education Minister Peter Fassbender stated, when that its purpose is to create a “standard of accountability” for teachers. He and the people in his ministry have obviously not talked to any teachers. If he or they had, they would realize teachers constantly do professional development. They attend workshops, take courses, meet with colleagues regularly to discuss best practices in order to meet the needs of students. I do not do professional development because it is mandated. I do it because I want to be the best I can be at my job, and I do it because I want my students to do well. I have 10 years of university training and have completed diplomas and degrees beyond the basic professional certificate. What do the MLAs and ministers do that qualify them for their positions? What do they do that improves their performance on our behalf? What is their “standard of accountability”?
HANDS OFF MURAL
The Editor, With great community pride last year, I loved to see the mural the artist Todd Polich created with students at Birchland elementary school in Port Coquitlam. I found it special that the children and previous students of Birchland were invited to help with some of the painting. It was formally unveiled to celebrate the school’s 40th anniversary in June 2014. Recently, vandals defaced this beautiful masterpiece. A large, red graffiti tag sits over the wonderful artwork below. To whoever is responsible for this vandalism, our neighbourhood is keeping now an even closer eye on the school now due to your senseless, destructive actions. Find something positive to do with your artistic energy. To Mr. Polich and the children who created the mural, please know that you are a breath of fresh air in our neighbourhood. Keep up the good work — you make us proud. Nancy McCurrach, Port Coquitlam Mr. Fassbender has had raises far more than adequate to cover inflationary costs over the past six years, as have all of our MLAs and ministers. They have given nothing to school boards to assist in dealing with those costs. Now this government talks about “low-hanging fruit”? I am an administra-

Do we need ministers like these who do not truly represent their constituents or the people of this province? Perhaps a few of their positions should be cut. What is good for one should be good for all. The legislature should have to meet the mandates it im-
poses upon others. This government needs to stop blowing smoke like Bill 11 in our eyes and instead address its many years of underfunding education. Children are our future and how we educate them is an indicator of how strongly we truly believe in a democratic society. Mary Loblaw, Port Moody
ELECTION FINANCES
Spending was committee focus The Editor, Re. “Donation limits were early topic for committee” (Letters, The TriCity News, March 25). I am writing to correct some misinformation. The special Parliamentary Committee on Local Government Election Expenses was specifically tasked to look at local municipal election spending separately from other reforms. The reason? That was one of the recommendations of the joint UBCM-Provincial Task Force on Local Government Elections, which completed its work several years ago. The government has implemented all of its other recommendations, which saw the most complete overhaul of municipal election laws in decades. The work on this has already begun, with our first committee meet-
MLA LINDA REIMER ings being held in the fall, and our commitment has always been to have election spending in place for the next municipal election in 2018. There are times to put aside partisan attacks and this important reform is one of them, which is why I will continue to advocate, to ensure the committee works to meet its mandate of new spending limits for municipal elections.

TRANSPORTATION REFERENDUM
Financing goes beyond the 10 years THE QUESTION THE ANSWER
There is no sunset clause so the 0.5% sales tax increase in Metro Vancouver is expected to be permanent if a majority of the region’s voters approve the proposal. Although the mayors’ plan calls for nearly all improvements to be in place within 10 years (a light rail from Surrey to Langley along Fraser Highway would take 12 years), that doesn’t mean the new transportation investments are paid off at that point. Capital financing of major projects would be spread out over 20 to 30 years, according to Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore. While much of the Congestion Improvement Tax goes to cover the region’s share of the $7.5 billion in capital spending, Moore also noted some of the tax goes to pay annual operating costs, which don’t ever stop. Existing SkyTrain upgrades make up the biggest increase in operating costs at $53 million a year, followed by $47 million for
new B-Line express bus routes, and then increased rush hour bus service, Surrey light rail and the Broadway subway, each of which add around $23 million annually. More passengers carried means more fares generated and that would offset some but not all of the higher costs. Moore said mayors considered an expiry date for the tax but dropped the idea because their polling found voters would only be confused by a promise of the tax ending two or three decades from now after financing was paid off. There’s no guarantee the tax won’t rise in the future but Moore insisted there’s no need to increase it – he said the $250 million per year it would generate fully funds the region’s share of the plan. No campaign head Jordan Bateman says TransLink or the mayors may push for more im-
provements 15 years from now by increasing the tax above 0.5%. Yes coalition spokesperson Bill Tieleman said no increases could happen without provincial government legislation. “There’s only one body that can raise or lower sales taxes in British Columbia and that is the B.C. provincial government,” Tieleman said. “TransLink can’t do it. The mayors’ council can’t do it. The individual mayors can’t do it.” Future provincial governments could raise or lower the PST provincewide for any number of reasons and presumably without a referendum, so the total 7.5% sales tax in Metro Vancouver after a Yes vote isn’t necessarily static, even if the regional half point is. Tieleman noted the province raised the PST to 7.5% in 2002 before dropping it back down to 7%
in 2005. The federal GST has been cut in steps from 7% to 5%. “Governments can raise and lower their sales taxes as they decide and they’re accountable to voters for those actions,” Tieleman said. He said it’s not impossible that the sales tax could be eliminated as part of a future long-range move to road pricing. Bateman said the fact the provincial government ultimately controls the Congestion Improvement Tax and not just Metro mayors gives him little comfort. “We don’t know who the government will be in the future and the NDP is very excited to give TransLink every dollar they could possibly want,” Bateman said. “There is no guarantee it stays at 0.5%.”

POCO HERITAGE
A little help for heritage Lukasz Jonca
The Tri-CiTy News
A little money will go a long way for the Port Coquitlam Heritage Society, which will be using newly acquired grant money to hire its first ever employee — part-time. PoCo Heritage was recently awarded a $20,000 grant from the city’s Community Cultural Development Investment Program. The non-profit society will use the cash to fill a part-time position to take some of the burden off volunteers. “One of the problems that we have is that we are all volunteers and when the work increases, we don’t have the time to do it all,” Hubbard said. “We don’t want to lose our key volunteers.” The new employee’s duties will include much of the daily running of the organization, such as fundraising and looking for sponsorships. Computer literacy
with skills in cataloging, digitizing, graphic design and research are a must, and other traits the society is looking for include experience in museum and archival work. Hubbard said PoCo Heritage currently has about a 100 active volunteers, with a board of nine people who do about 80% of the work. “Some volunteers put in enormous amounts of work,” he said. “There are probably two, three volunteers who put in an excess of a 1,000 work hours volunteering.” Well over a hundred applicants have submitted resumes and now Hubbard, along with the board, will be choosing potential candidates. They hope to have someone start the job in May and be available at Heritage at Leigh Square from 11 to 3 p.m. five days a week to answer questions from visitors while continuing to upgrade the society’s website and online presence.

Saturday, April 4 RUN/WALK WITH TERRY FOX
Before his 1980 Marathon of Hope, Terry Fox trained every single day for more than a year to get into tip top shape, often running the same 10-mile route two or three times in one day. Today marks the first Terry Fox Training Run, an opportunity to run the same 10-mile (16-km) route in Fox’s footsteps. The run kicks off at 7:30 a.m. from Westwood elementary and winds through PoCo, Coquitlam out to Port Moody and back again but, if you’re not feeling up for a big run, find a spot along the way to cheer the runners on (believe me, we’ll need it). Following the run is a community walk event at about 9:30 a.m., as well as a dedication ceremony to unveil the permanent signs that are being installed along the route. The walk follows two short routes suitable for all ages. For more information on the event, or to donate or purchase a commemorative t-shirt, visit www.terryfoxtrainingrun.com.

SAR DONATION
Coquitlam Search and Rescue is designing its new mobile command centre, confident it will soon make it up the remaining $30,000 needed to buy the vehicle. Last week, its campaign got a boost when Montcalm Aggregates — the leasing company for Allard Contractors — dug up $10,000 for the SAR fundraiser. “I have lived my whole life in Coquitlam and Search and Rescue has been very important,” Jim Allard said. “We are very grateful to the Allard group of companies for their contribution,” said Sandy Burpee, fundraising chair for the command centre replacement project. “We are close enough to our goal that we can order the components now.” Last month, the owners of the Canadian Tire stores in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam handed over $25,000 to go toward the new $400,000 vehicle while the villages of Anmore and Belcarra each donated $500. The city of Port Moody kicked in $10,000 while Coquitlam has contributed a total of $97,000; a request for cash was recently made to Port Coquitlam city council but it was turned down. Its biggest contribution was a $195,000 gaming grant from the provincial government, of which $150,000 will be invested for the new rescue truck, said SAR spokesperson Michael Coyle (the balance will be spent on training programs as well as replacement of communications and rescue gear). To donate to the cause, visit www. coquitlam-sar.bc.ca/initiatives/command-vehicle.

KidSport Tri-Cities’ biannual sale of used sporting gear scooped up more than $19,000 for the nonprofit group. The event, held at Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam, drew 1,384 shoppers. The proceeds will help with registration fees for 70 children.

TRI-CITY FARMERS’ MARKETS
TRI-CITY GIVING
April brings new shoots and fresh Legion has produce – and it’s halibut season bursaries MARKET FRESH
THE RECIPE: CRISPy HalIbuT TaCoS
Halibut is fabulous in fish tacos. If you want a crispy fish taco, try the recipe below.

pril is a transition month for farmers’ markets. The winter markets are ending and most vendors are getting geared up for the busy summer season. By now, most of the seeds have been sown. Many of the spring crops are being harvested already. Crisp greens and tender shoots are plentiful, radishes and leeks are so good right now. Rhubarb should be appearing soon, too. There is so much promise and a sense of renewal in this month. If you really want to celebrate the season, you can sow your own garden. It can be as simple as a few herbs on the windowsill or a fully tilled backyard plot. Regardless of what you choose, fresh local produce will be the reward. Check out the small space gardening
West coast halibut stocks are considered “healthy.” workshop at the Port Moody Winter Market on April 19. What has me excited this month is halibut. It is in season so you know it is at its peak. The season usually opens mid March to early April and can continue to the beginning of November. Halibut is highly prized for its mild and meaty texture, tempting even the most hesitant seafood palate. High consumer demand, unfortunately, establishes the high price point for halibut but in my opinion it is worth it. There is nothing quite like simply prepared fresh, local halibut. Not only is it a beautifully versatile fish, it is also Oceanwise and MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified. B.C. stocks are “considered healthy,” according to
Fisheries and Oceans Canada. With a biomass on the west coast (U.S. and Canada) of 144 million tonnes, the commercial quotas for catch were set at 18.67 million tonnes, B.C. allotted 3.48 million tonnes. What this means to the consumer is that quotas protect stocks with an eye to maintaining future stocks. It is caught by bottom longline, meaning it is specifically targeted, minimizing by-catch. Ron Gorman is my go-to seafood guy at the market. He helped me with the information for this column and he certainly helps me with my halibut. He can tell you all you need to know about seafood of all kinds. Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (kicslemonade.ca) at the Coquitlam Farmers Market. Her column runs monthly.
1 pound halibut fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces 1 (12-ounce) bottle good dark beer, divided. vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp hot sauce 12 fresh corn tortillas, warmed 1 lime, cut into wedges 3/4 cup shredded cheese (try cheddar from Golden Ears) 3 cups shredded green cabbage 1/2 red onion, cut into strips (about 1/2 cup) AJI (South American condiment sold at market) Place fish fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour 4 ounces of beer over them. Seal bag and refrigerate 2-3 hours. Pour oil to depth of 1 1/2 inches into a deep skillet or Dutch oven; heat to 360 F. Combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl. Whisk in 1 cup beer and hot sauce. Drain fish, discarding marinade. Coat fish in batter. Cook fish in batches about 4 minutes or until done. Drain on paper towels. Place 2 to 3 pieces of fish on each tortilla. Squeeze lime wedges over fish; top with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.

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.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Desirable high-rise urban design in a unique setting that underscores pedestrian friendly convenience and affordability.
EVOLVE stresses livability and sustainability
T
he concept of ‘micro homes’ has been popular for a long time in places like London, New York, and Montréal. Now, WestStone Group is courageously bringing the concept to Metro Vancouver’s tough real estate market, where first-time homebuyers often feel pushed out or overwhelmed. Evolve is a new ‘micro’ high-rise condominium in the heart of Surrey City Centre, quickly proving that sometimes big things come in small packages. The tower is anchored in West Village, an exciting new master planned community where convenience and luxury collide. Kiran Rai, Marketing Director for Macdonald Realty Platinum Project Marketing, says the homes are perfectly priced for a first time buyer looking to get into Metro Vancouver’s real estate market. “We often hear about how unaffordable homes in Metro Vancouver can be, it can be tough for first time buyers to get into the market,” she says. “That’s exactly what makes Evolve unique to other tower homes, because Evolve offers concrete homes for less than the price of wood frame.” Evolve’s “micro” suites are designed for people seeking urban ease in a home offering strategic space. Not only are smaller homes affordable, but they are also considered easier to manage, clean and are incredibly efficient spaces. “Each home has been thoughtfully designed to ensure that there is no wasted space,” says Rai. “While we’ve maximized the square footage of each plan, it’s been done in a way where homes don’t feel cramped. They’re beautiful and functional spaces.” Evolve, which is located a block from city hall, will feature a 316-square-foot studio suite for less than six figures. “This difference in square footage greatly impacts the price of our homes, while also minimizing strata fees,” she says. “Evolve homes start at $93,900, meaning that with a down payment of $5000, your monthly mortgage would be less than a car loan payment; even students can stop renting and afford to buy their own homes.” But Evolve isn’t just getting attention because of its price point. Exclusive to the Evolve Presentation Centre is their Thin-Air Augmented Reality technology that allows home shoppers to essentially walk around inside a virtual version of one of the suites using the free Evolve Condos 3D app on their own phone or tablet. Also, screens
Cleverly designed kitchens and bathrooms provide luxe features and finishings you would expect in higher priced condominiums. Quartz countertops, porcelain tile, engineered hard wood flooring, and polished chrome hardware are some of the finishing details that will compliment your interior design choices at EVOLVE.
inside the presentation centre allow potential buyers to see what a 3D version of their preferred floor plan looks like. The 35-storey tower offers 406 homes in a range of floor plans, including studios, one-
and two-bedrooms, two-bedroom and dens, townhome lofts, and penthouses. The homes themselves offer wood grain laminate flooring throughout the entry, bedrooms, and living spaces; 8.6-foot ceilings
throughout; large windows and spacious balconies to ensure plenty of natural light. The surrounding area is part of a master-planned community of West Village. Downtown Vancouver is accessible by transit at Surrey Central Skytrain Station, and over 140 stores and retailers are located at nearby Central City Shopping Mall. The area offers a community plaza, city hall, library, shopping, recreational facilities and entertainment to ensure urban ease. Or grab a coffee, walk the dog and enjoy a jog or a stroll any time of day through the many paths and parkland of the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. “What’s more is that Surrey was recently named one of the 7 most intelligent cities in the world, according to the Intelligent Community Forum in New York,” says Rai. Evolve is revolutionizing the living experience, and turning a buyer’s dream to own a home into a reality without compromising convenience or location. The Sales Centre is located at 13328 104 Avenue in Surrey, BC. The anticipated date of completion is early 2018. Evolve homes go on sale on Saturday, April 11, 2015. The sale event will be by appointment; interested purchasers are encouraged to get in touch with the sales team. For more information, visit: evolvecondos.com

AAA HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

Both the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils and the Heritage Woods Kodiaks started their regular seasons with commanding wins. The Blue Devils defeated Riverside secondary 3-0 on home turf, while the Kodiaks took down the Gleneagle secondary Talons by the same score, also at home. Neither of the winning teams allowed a goal against and were virtu-
ally tied after day one. The Terry Fox secondary Ravens also posted a win on Monday. The Port Coquitlam club took on the Centennial secondary Centaurs at Cunnings Field, defeating the Coquitlam team 5-3 in the highest scoring Tri-City game of the week. Centennial trailed 2-0 at the half, however a goal from Kara Plican one minute into the second half
kept things close. However, the Centaurs gave up a goal, to go down 3-1. Centennial’s Alexa Mafatow restored the one-goal difference, after kicking in a rebound off a Rachel Bralic free kick, which bounced off the crossbar. Madison Weir netted the third goal for Centennial, but the Ravens kept up the pressure, scoring two more to take the game 5-3.
More games were expected to take place Thursday night, after The Tri-City News’ deadline. The teams will get back on the field Monday, when Heritage Woods will take on Centennial on Heritage Woods turf and Charles Best competes against Terry Fox in Coquitlam. Gleneagle will also play Riverside at Cunnings Field. @GMcKennaTC

A lack of snow has made it difficult for Lower Mainland skiers to train this winter, but that did not stop Port Moody’s Katrina Voss from taking the podium at the B.C. Alpine Okanagan Zone finals at Big White this week. The young athlete has not been able to train at all at her home ski hill, Hemlock Mountain, which has been closed all season due to a lack of powder. But in Kelowna she took third place in both slalom races, helping the Hemlock Ski Team to a strong overall showing. Voss was not the only Tri-City skier to compete at the Okanagan finals. Lena Liljedahl, also from Port Moody, finished in 20th place in the slalom, moving up to 17th on Sunday in the same event. This weekend, Voss will be back on the hill when she competes in the Whistler Cup. The event is highly regarded in the youth skiing circuit, with previous competitors like Lindsey Vonn, Julia Mancuso Jan Hudec and Erik Guay taking part in past competitions. sports@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC

solid performance on the mound, only allowing three runs against. Mackenzie Dermott pitched two shutout innings in relief for the Classics, who will take on the Fleetwood Force at Mundy Park Thursday night. sports@tricitynews.com @GMcKennaTC
