Evergreen Extension leads to big increase in ridership TransLink data shows a 44% rise in boardings Gary McKEnna

The Tri-CiTy News

They built it and the passengers came. The opening of the Evergreen Extension in December 2016 is being credited with a dramatic

uptick in public transit ridership in the Tri-Cities, according to TransLInk’s 2017 figures, which encapsulate the line’s first full year in operation. The total number of boardings on rail and train in the northeast sector increased 4.8 million — a 44% jump from 2016, when the Tri-Cities’ rapid transit line was still under construction. “The growth in transit ridership in the Tri-Cities has been

nothing short of extraordinary since the launch of the Evergreen Extension,” said Chris Bryan, TransLink’s senior media relations advisor. The rise in ridership in the Tri-Cities has helped boost system-wide numbers, which show a 5.7% increase across the TransLink service area for a record 407 million boardings. Bus boardings rose 3.2% last year, while SkyTrain boardings increased 12%.

Coquitlam Central Station has been the busiest stop on the Evergreen Extension, with 4,000 average weekday boardings, ranked 37th in the system, while Burquitlam is second with 3,800 boardings, ranked 41st. Lincoln Station had 3,600 average weekday boardings (42nd) while Moody Centre had 2,000 (50th) and Inlet Centre had 1,900 (51st).

CANADA DAY

‘I have good friends here and good teachers. I have a good life here’ War came to his home in Syria, so Kamal & his family came to Canada The following speech was written for a Grade 7 English class by a Coquitlam middle school student named Kamal. It came to The Tri-City News via the support group Tri-Cities Friends of Refugees Task Group and is being reprinted ahead of Canada Day with the family’s permission. Kamal has adapted to life in Canada, and his speech helped his peers become more empathetic towards him, according to his teacher. Now 13, Kamal enjoys playing basketball and is confident and articulate in the English language he has learned after just two and a half years in this country.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kamal just completed Grade 7 at a Coquitlam middle school. He wrote this speech for his English class about his life in Syria and the reasons he and his family left their homeland to come to Canada. It is being reprinted with the permission of his family. all of our family. At night time, we would come together and sit with each other and talk. One day, when we were coming back from the farm, there were some police drinking on our balcony. This is when the war came to our home. The police were over all of the mosques and they started killing people from there. People were walking and getting bread or shopping and the police were killing them on the street. Soon, we couldn’t go and get any food or anything because the police were everywhere, just randomly killing people, even small kids. We went to our food farms and we lived there, and we couldn’t see any family or go anywhere. We had to stay hidden in our farmhouse. We ate

the vegetables and fruit that grew there but we couldn’t get food or anything from anywhere else. After some time, the police started to be nice with us and mom and dad started to visit with their family again. But it didn’t last for very long. Soon, there were a lot of helicopters and bombs everywhere. Then my dad was killed. It was very dangerous and we had to leave our home. We escaped to Jordan by car. I was nine years old. We took nothing from our home. We came to Jordan and we found my uncle there. My mom and my two brothers and my sister went there with me. My uncle taught us about the money there and he taught us how to ride the buses. We went to school and I got a new friend

and a good teacher. My best friend in Jordan was Omar; he was from Syria also. Kids from Jordan went to school until 12 o’clock and then Syrian people went to school after that. After three years, we had a call from Canada asking us if we want to come to Canada to live. My mom says “Yes, please” because she wants us to learn English and make a better life for us. I was so sad and was crying because I will miss my teacher and my friends. My mom was telling me things will be better and my mom was right. The first day I was in Vancouver in a hotel called Sandman. It was the best hotel but I still missed my friends in Jordan. We slept at the hotel for three months and then we moved to Cottonwood Avenue.

My family stayed there for one year. I went to Mountain View elementary school and my teacher was Mr. W. He was a good teacher. He taught me how to play basketball and he invited me to a running club. I miss visiting my grandma and my grandpa, and going to the farm and sleeping there and getting some fresh lemons. I miss fishing with my dad. I miss playing marbles in the sand. Today I am learning English and my mom is so happy about it. I will reach my goals in Canada. My mom was right about me making new friends. I have good friends here and good teachers. I have a good life here. I am Kamal. l was born in Daraa, in Syria. I am happy to call Canada my home. And thank you for listening to me.

Hi, my name is Kamal and I am from Syria. l was born in Daraa, near the border of Syria and Jordan. When I was born, there was no war in Syria. I can remember going to school and playing marbles with my friends in the sand. I was the marbles guy. I was the best kid at playing that game. I had 10,000 marbles; all different colours. I had so many that I sold them to my friends — 5 marbles for 10 cents, and everyone wanted to buy them and play with them. We had three farms at my home in Syria and every week we would go to the farms and get water for the trees. We had lemon trees and beech and olive. We would go pick fruit from the trees and give it to everyone in our family. Our house was really big and there were four houses next to each other with

Coquitlam resident Priti Shah, a facilitator, social justice activist and humanitarian, is among the RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants Award winners. Originally from India, Shaw works with nonprofit organizations, governments and other groups to improve the integration of newcomers and marginalized communities, with a particular focus on women. As principal of Drishti Consulting, she has created more than 350 workshops that challenge gender and racial inequality, and has designed local and international conferences focused on issues of social justice. Shah is also a board member on Women Transforming Cities, which is working on a gender equality strategy in Vancouver. The award, sponsored by Canadian Immigrant Magazine and RBC, is in its 10th year and a special celebration honouring the winners was held Wednesday in Vancouver.

STATION MUSEUM

Old tractor to get a new home in PoMo MariO Bartel The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Moody is getting a new tractor. But it won’t be able to do much about the weeds growing taller at the old fire hall site, for instance. The tractor is a 1920 Fordson that has been on display in a field adjacent to Anmore’s village hall for years. But Anmore wants to get rid of the rusting relic by the end of the month and Jim Millar, the executive director of the Station Museum, said it would be a shame for the tractor to end up in a junk yard. “I think it’s quite an interesting piece,” he said. So, following a pitch by Millar and the president of the Port Moody Heritage Society, Dave Ritcey, at Tuesday’s meeting of city council’s committee of the whole, a special meeting of council voted to accept Anmore’s offer to relocate the tractor at the village’s expense. The tractor will be stored at the city’s public works yard until staff can make a recommendation on a permanent location as well as report on any potential liability issues related to its display. Millar said a spot underneath the Moody Street overpass would be ideal as the tractor would be sheltered from

the elements and enliven an otherwise dead space. It would also join the old log roller already located there, forming the beginnings of a bit of a collection of artifacts from the area’s industrial past, Ritcey said, adding that may be the heritage society’s next area of interest as it winds down commemoration of the centenary of the First World War. Millar said the tractor may even be an appropriate link between the two eras as it was manufactured by car maker Henry Ford & Son to address a need of farmers in northern Europe and England to be able to work their land despite a shortage of horses that were killed during the war. He added that little is known about Anmore’s tractor, other than it was once owned by a local farmer named Norm Farley, and there’s a hornet’s nest currently residing in the radiator. “It reminds people there were once farms here,” Millar said. And once the tractor is in Port Moody’s possession, he said, the museum and heritage society can work together to plan for its possible restoration. Although he figures it’s well beyond ever running again. mbartel@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

Coq. council wants more office space New incentives and regulations being considered Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam is contemplating not letting developers of residential/commercial projects defer building office space as part of a strategy to generate employment growth in the city. A staff report to council last week proposed seven strategies to encourage office development. At the top of the list of four short-term solutions was no further banking of office space. The report said in the city centre area, there is 380,000 sq. ft. of banked office space going back more than a decade. “Permitting this practice, at least in the past, has hindered the city’s ability to achieve its employment targets. (This banked office space would directly support an estimated 2,500 jobs assuming one job per 150 sq. ft.)” In the future, said the report, the city should take steps during the zoning and development process to make sure “employment-generating floor space is not permitted to be deferred beyond the completion of the residential compo-

Some developers are delaying construction of promised office space, prompting the city of Coquitlam to consider options for approving future projects. nent of the project.” The report cited three City Centre developers that have shifted the commitment to future phases that remain undeveloped while they focus on the residential components of their projects. They are: • Morguard Corporation, 171,000 sq. ft. at 1150 The High Street deferred since 2005; • Unimet Homes, 160,000 sq. ft. at 1170 Pinetree Way de-

ferred since 2006; and • Cressey Developments, 49,000 sq. ft. at 2992 Glen Dr. deferred since 2011. “There’s obvious demand for office space now and we could really, really benefit from this as a city, so I’d like to see us be a lot more assertive,” said Coun. Chris Wilson. “I believe we’ve been too timid and if we’re going to attract what we really want and what we need

in our community, we need to be bold.” Wilson said he is frustrated by the situation but doesn’t put all the blame on the developers. “We let them off the hook,” Wilson told The Tri-City News. “We said when the market gets better, let’s build an office. But that’s pretty loose. It’s just unfortunate there’s nothing else in the agreements to put a

little force in it.” The other short-term strategies in the report call for the city to promote Coquitlam office space, create new zones in the City Centre and advocate for decentralization of office space in the region. The last strategy is something Mayor Richard Stewart and Coun. Brent Asmundson have been advocating for a while. They would like a moratorium put on office development in downtown Vancouver

so more of it can be spread across the region. “We need to press Vancouver,” said Stewart. The report noted Coquitlam’s main competition is coming from Burnaby — particularly the massive new developments at the Brentwood and Lougheed town centres currently in the works — and Surrey City Centre. The medium-term strategies proposed are for Coquitlam to adjust its density bonus program for the City Centre and to ensure there is adequate parking in developments not only for residents and office employees but office visitors. In the long term, the report suggested, the city should explore developing financial incentive programs to attract office building and businesses to Coquitlam. “We need to find the sweet spot of incentives and encouragement to spur development of more office space, then we’ll find more of them coming to Coquitlam, but we haven’t found that sweet spot yet,” said Stewart. Council gave its blessing to city staff to consult with the development and business communities, undertake more research, and begin implementing the short-term strategies. newsroom@tricitynews.com

After initial drop, bus ridership on the rise continued from front page

Lougheed Town Centre, which is part of the original Millennium Line but is also the spur for Evergreen, had 12,700 average weekday boarding, the 13th busiest stop in the system. Not surprisingly, overall bus ridership in the Tri-Cities fell 23%, which Bryan said TransLink attributes to more people taking SkyTrain instead of the 97 B-Line that was phased out. But the drop in bus boardings “was more than offset by the boost in overall ridership sparked by the convenience and speed of adding SkyTrain to the local transit network,” he added. And there are initial signs that Evergreen could be spurring an increase in bus ridership. Since TransLink re-worked

A map shows the most used bus stops in the Tr i - C i t i e s b a s e d o n TransLink data for average weekday ridership.

its bus routes and schedule in early 2017 to improve connections with SkyTrain, bus ridership has risen 10%. “Ridership on the majority of bus routes in the Tri-Cities was growing by the end of 2017 as compared to the beginning of the year,” Bryan said. “We expect these buses to continue to grow in ridership as they get established in the area and new riders are attracted to take transit due to the availability of SkyTrain.” The 160 is the most popular bus route in the Tri-Cities, with 1.7 million annual boardings, ranking the line 47th in the system. The 152 had close to a million boardings in 2017 (ranked 73rd) while the 180 had 861,000 boardings (78th), the 188 had 731,000 (90th) and the 159 had 714,000 boardings (92nd).

TRANSIT

NightBus district launched in Van. DiAne StrAnDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Downtown revellers heading back to the TriCities will now find it easier to locate the NightBus for a safe ride home. TransLink has established the NightBus district where late-night buses for all 10 routes will congregate to pick up riders and take them back to their communities. For Tri-City riders, that means catching the N9 Coquitlam Central Station bus at the corner of Granville and West Georgia. The bus runs until 4:19 a.m. seven days a week and takes riders to Coquitlam Central station via Broadway and Lougheed Highway, through north Burnaby. “It’s a pilot project we’re running for this hub we’ve created,” confirmed Aliya Mohamed, a TransLink media relations spokesperson. She said riders will no longer have to search out their bus stop because all buses will be picking up riders at the same downtown location, which is well lit and will have signage, and will have TransLink security on hand to monitor

the area. Mohamed said downtown entertainment venues have participated in the project and will be promoting the NightBus. The ride costs $3, stops will be indicated with signage sporting a crescent moon logo and all routes will stop at Granville and Georgia every 20 to 30 minutes. The program’s success will be reviewed in the fall but TransLink said it believes it will be well subscribed. Already, 700,000 people a year use the NightBus but the convenience of the new location might encourage more people to take it, Mohamed said. “There’s appetite and we’re working closely with appropriate personnel,” she said. As for plans to extend the hours of SkyTrain to accommodate people late at night, Mohamed said that idea is still the subject of study, with results expected in the fall. But she noted there is a trade-off between extending hours and getting all the required maintenance on the track and the fleet completed within the week.

“One of the biggest things I can thank camp for is confidence.” Gustavo, Camper from Vancouver, BC Gustavo was thrilled at the opportunity to attend the Tim Horton Children’s Ranch in Kananaskis, Alberta. While he had always been passionate about the arts, he was eager to explore other activities outside his comfort zone. Be it hiking or rafting, he discovered exciting new activities he’d never tried before. And by pushing his boundaries, he also developed a passion for helping others do the same. Now whether he’s doing volunteer work for students with disabilities, sharing his passion for art with his peers, or advocating for LGBTAQ+ issues, Gustavo has the courage to be the change he wants to see in his community. Thank you, Gustavo. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

PORT MOODY

Vagramov running for mayor in Moody election Councillor, 26, cites growth issues Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody has its first officially declared candidate for mayor in the Oct. 20 civic elections. Rob Vagramov, a city councillor for the past four years, announced Thursday he will launch his candidacy for the city’s top job Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at the pier in Rocky Point Park — during Golden Spike Days. (Although PoMo Mayor Mike Clay hasn’t officially declared his candidacy, he has previously said he will run for re-election.) Vagramov, 26, said in a press release he wants to run for mayor because he believes Port Moody has been steered “onto an unsustainable course.” “The last four years have revolved around deciding how to grow our city,” Vagramov said, adding he believes many of those decisions will escalate Port Moody’s population beyond targets agreed to by the community in the city’s current official community plan that was adopted in 2014. “This is not fair to our existing residents.” Vagramov has lived in PoMo since 2001. He works as a technology consultant for a Vancouver-based startup. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

SEARCH & RESCUE

One hiker dead, a second rescued on Eagle Ridge GaRy McKEnna The Tri-CiTy News

One hiker died and a second was rescued Wednesday evening after the two got lost along the Dilly Dally Trail on Eagle Ridge near Buntzen Lake. Coquitlam Search and Rescue manager Michael Coyle told The Tri-City News Thursday that one of the two boys fell while trying to climb down a gully and died at the scene. He added that the second person was distraught and was found at the top of a cliff face, apparently unable to get down. “It became apparent that he was sitting on a ledge,” Coyle said. “In the back country, you

get these cliff faces that are all mossed up… He felt that he couldn’t move from that area.” After receiving the initial call at 6:30 p.m., search crews were able to locate the subjects at around 8:30 p.m. with the use of a Talon Helicopter. In a Tweet posted shortly after 11 p.m., SAR confirmed that one of the missing hikers had died in the incident. “We can confirm that tonight’s rescue was a party of two hikers who got lost on Eagle Ridge,” said Coquitlam SAR in a statement posted to their official Twitter account. “While descending a steep gully, one of the two fell and died at the scene. Rescuers transported both out of the field via long

line. Our condolences to family and friends of the deceased.” These types of incidents are not uncommon in the backcountry, even for experienced hikers, Coyle said. When a person is lost, he said often their first inclination is to start heading downhill, which can be dangerous, particularly in U-shaped valleys. It is usually safer to wait at the top of a mountain and notify rescuers, Coyle said. “This kind of incident can happen to anybody,” he said. “Nobody starts the day thinking they are going to need to be rescued. That is why we stress preparation.” • For more information, go to www.coquitlam-sar.bc.ca.

Two More Vie for CouNCil seaTs Two life-long Coquitlam residents are seeking seats on council. While they said they are not running as a slate, Robert Mazzarolo and Darryl Stickler told The Tri-City News they “generally agree on the issues” and have decided to combine their resources and even share a website — maz-

zarolo-stickler.com. “Working together allows us to keep our costs down, while at the same time, reaching out to and communicating with more people,” said Mazzarolo, a Burquitlam resident who has worked in banking and law, in an email. This is Stickler’s second run for council after he failed

to win a seat in the 2008 campaign. The Coquitlam Sports Centre Users Association board member also has a financial background, working as a commercial banker, where he said he has gained experience negotiating with real estate developers. Municipal elections will be held on Oct. 20.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Pondering pay

Coquitlam council may have watered down a proposal for a review of how municipal politicians are paid but has done a good service by at least attempting to raise the issue at the upcoming union of bC Municipalities (ubCM) conference. Instead of calling for the province to step in and work with the ubCM to review salaries, the new motion leaves it to the ubCM to do so and establish an independent process to assist local governments. The change in wording likely anticipates resistance from municipal leaders, especially those who don’t want victoria calling the shots, but will at least put a spotlight on the issue this fall. With the public still smarting from the Metro vancouver retro pay debacle and civic elections on the way, politicians will, hopefully, be more supportive of an independent review of how they are paid. What’s needed is a transparent and equitable policy that applies to all, including school trustees.

Tri-Cities must step it up on energy efficiency a

new wave of building innovation is sweeping through b.C., leaving in its wake healthier and more comfortable homes, and more productive offices as well as jobs, opportunities and legions of workers with freshly upgraded skills that are likely to be prized in the coming years. and the Tri-Cities will not want to be left behind. Last year, the province offered Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port JENNA MCNEILL Moody — and hundreds of other local governments — a new policy tool called the bC Energy Step Code. The regulation empowers these communities to boost the energy efficiency of new buildings: homes, offices, stores, schools. Tri-City governments may now use bC Energy Step Code, if they wish, to require or incentivize a level of energy efficiency in new construction that goes above and beyond current provincial requirements. In practical terms, that would mean increased insulation, closer attention to windows and doors, better ventilation and more careful attention to sealing the building to reduce heat loss. and it’s catching on. To date, more than 26 local governments DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

have either referenced the bC Energy Step Code in their bylaws or are considering doing so. but with the exception of the village of belcarra, those in the Tri-City region are not among them. This is unfortunate because the bC Energy Step Code offers benefits to homeowners, renters, builders and the entire community that go well beyond lower energy bills. Governments that put the new standard to work are not only raising the bar on improving building health and comfort, they’re also locking in new consumer protections to those buying new houses, condos or townhomes. That’s because builders will be required to demonstrate their projects will perform as billed. Meanwhile, the bC Energy Step Code offers industry a clear sense of where the province is heading on energy efficiency and a badly needed level of consistency on energy rules between local governments. Communities using the standard are also helping stimulate economic development by increasing the local market for energyefficient products and services. and finally, almost as a bonus, the bC Energy Step Code will help fight climate change by reducing the quantity of natural gas we’ll need to burn to keep our buildings comfortable. There’s a lot of development planned for the Tri-Cities so it’s important that the cities get going on the bC Energy Step Code. but it’s also important that they begin in the right place.

as its name suggests, the code groups building performance on a series of steps of increasing energy efficiency. Step 1 isn’t actually even a performance improvement, it acts like “training wheels” to help builders and designers familiarize themselves with new practices and materials. a Step 5 house, on the other hand, is the most energy efficient one that can be built today. but there is a sweet spot in between: Step 3. Tri-City governments that begin there will immediately see lower carbon emissions and significant energy savings. by requiring Step 3, they would actually be doing their builders a favour by ensuring their skills will be relevant in tomorrow’s market. To date, the three North Shore governments have aligned their approach and referenced Step 3 in their building bylaws. Similarly, New Westminster is targeting Step 3 for next year. The high-efficiency building train is leaving the station and Coquitlam, PoCo and PoMo cannot afford to be left behind on the platform. The risks of doing so are real, and the benefits too big to ignore. Jenna McNeil is the co-ordinator for Three for All, a coalition and campaign working to inspire and inform local government action on building energy efficiency via the BC Energy Step Code. The coalition includes the Canada Green Building Council, Passive House Canada, The Pembina Institute, Integral Group, Waymark Architecture, and the Open Green Building Society.

TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE

THANKS

Disaster costs could exceed Thanks for city workers’ efforts royalties from fossil fuels The Editor, Re. “Pipeline in national interest” (Letters, The Tri-City News, June 15). In his letter, Joerge Dyrkton argued that expanding the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain diluted bitumen pipeline is in the national interest. On Aug. 6, 1945, the way that people think of world war changed when an atomic bomb destroyed Hiroshima. From 1988, at the establishment of the International Panel on Climate Change, the way that people think about the heedless combustion of fossil fuels changed when scientists warned that the global climate was becoming destabilized. On May 14, 2016, I clipped a table from the Financial Post newspaper that listed the 10 costliest natural disasters in Canada over 25 years. I was surprised that seven of the 10 costliest natural disasters had occurred in Alberta. Of course,

The Editor, I just want to thank the city of Port Coquitlam staff for the amazing work they are doing, particularly those from the engineering and parks and recreation departments. Over the last several years, I have been contacting them regarding issues related to the bike lanes, items/garbage being illegally dumped, littering, potential pollution in the creeks, construction sites, fallen trees on trails or streets,

An increase in oil tankers and the planned twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline could add to the list of disasters afflicting Canada — and offset royalties — says the letter writer. the devastating Fort McMurray wildfire of 2017 added to the tally. At some point, the annual cost of disaster remediation and infrastructure adaptation

will exceed the royalties from fossil fuel exploitation and transportation tolls. By building more fossil fuel facilities, we are continuing to poke our finger in Mother

Nature’s eye. It is in the interest of Alberta and Canada to transform to an economy powered by renewable energy. Derek Wilson, Port Moody

bins not being emptied, etc. They have been responding in a timely fashion and often someone will contact me by phone or email to inform me of the action(s) they have been taking. This shows their professionalism, how seriously they consider the citizens’ concerns and their desire to make our community a better place to live. Suzanne L’Heureux, Port Coquitlam

Thanks for the tunes in the park The Editor, I was in Town Centre Park earlier in this month for work and, while there, I spotted a mystery bugler practising in the park. It was lovely. I took a break and sat between the trees behind the new stage, where I enjoyed

the breeze and musical accompaniment. Thank you, whoever you are. Your practice was a wonderful reminder to slow down and enjoy the beauty that is all around us. Laura Thomas, Port Coquitlam

A six-storey condo project proposed for the site of the old Chisholm Television factory in Port Moody will go to a public hearing July 10. But several Port Moody councillors expressed reservations as council gave the project first and second reading at last week’s council meeting. Coun. Zoe Royer said the project, which will be comprised of 358 residential units and more than 18,000 sq. ft. of commercial space in two buildings between Murray Street and the CP and SkyTrain rail tracks is a recipe for traffic congestion and potential noise complaints from the nearby train traffic. She also said the developer, The Panatch Group, isn’t doing enough to create a sense of community or employment opportunities. “I’m just not seeing the kind of community contribution I’d want to see for something as dense and impactful,” Royer said. Aside from a standard development levy of $2.25 million, the developer has agreed to provide $400,000 for a public art component to the project. Coun. Hunter Madsen said the builder could do more, considering the project’s prime location across from protected park space and the waterfront. He suggested the builder could “be doing something more dramatic,” like funding the reconstruction of nearby Inlet Field. Coun. Barbara Junker said she had concerns about a lack of affordable units among the proposed 116 one-bedroom, 207 two-bedroom, 33 three-

A proposal to tear down four Clarke Road homes to make way for a six-storey, 73-unit development will be going to a public hearing. Dolomiti Homes has applied to rezone four properties from 660 to 700 Clarke to go alongside an assembly of three six-storey buildings to the northeast already in the development process. According to a city staff report to council, the owner also tried to acquire an office building on the south end of the block for the development. It’s occupied by a flower shop and a veterinary clinic whose operator recently relocated from a different site in the area because of redevelopment and didn’t want to move because of the effect it would have on the clinic’s client base. A mix of 30 one-bedroom, 30 two-bedroom and 13 three-bedroom units ranging from 515 to 1,100 sq. ft. is being proposed. A greenway is also being planned. It will include a walkway, lighting seating and landscaping. Council approved first reading Monday.

After 22 years, Robert Peng will get a rest Market became a community hub over two decades MARio BARtel

The Tri-CiTy News

On Sunday, Robert Peng will rest. After 22 years of 10-hour days, seven days a week, running Tung Fat Super Market on Johnson Street, he’s earned the break. Peng and his wife, Siny, are closing their Asian grocery story for good on Saturday. And while another Asian market is scheduled to move into the space, it won’t be the same. Peng, 59, was running a small grocery in Vancouver’s Chinatown when he saw an opportunity to tap into the growing immigrant population in the suburbs. So he bought the Tung Fat from its previous owners and moved his family east. Peng’s shop quickly became a focal point for immigrants from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They could buy the products and produce, like lotus root, Daikon radish and choy sum they were familiar with back home. They could tell the butchers, Peter Yang and Zhen Wu, exactly how they wanted their meat cut.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Robert Peng has spent the past 22 years welcoming customers with open arms to his Tung Fat Super Market on Johnson Street. But on Sunday, he’s closing the store so he can spend more time with his family and getting some exercise. And with all the posters of happenings and events of interest to the Asian community affixed to the walls and windows, they could also find

out what was going on. Many of those customers became friends, Peng said, after he exchanged contact information with one of them

who’d dropped by to say goodbye. When Peng took over the shop in a 1980s-era strip plaza, he was practically on the edge

of town. Now he’s surrounded by high-rise condo buildings, a bustling High Street, while the nearby Coquitlam Centre shopping mall has practically

doubled in size. His customers have changed as well, with more immigrants from countries like Iran, along with Canadians broadening their culinary horizons, finding their way into his shop. All that growth hasn’t exactly been a boon for an independent grocer like him, though, Peng said. His expenses, like rent and property tax, have increased dramatically and big supermarket chains have expanded their offerings to include all kinds of multicultural foods. He can’t compete with their price and selection anymore. So, Peng said, he relies on smiles and good customer service to keep people coming through the door. “We are like a family,” he said, adding the kids of some of his original customers are now shopping from him. But beginning on Sunday, Peng will have to call and text them to stay in touch, rather than just exchange gossip over the produce aisle. After 10 years without a vacation, he said he’s looking forward to spending more time with his three children and one grandchild, as well as exercising more. “I need a rest,” he said, smiling. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Parents still waiting for a solution to poop problem at 2 schools Still no definitive answer to Anmore Green issue

The Tri-CiTy News

Frustration is growing among parents of students at Eagle Mountain middle school in Anmore as a solution to the leaching onto the school’s property of water contaminated with fecal coliform and E. coli from a nearby septic system continues to be elusive. That contamination was detected last September at several sites along the bottom of a hillside field adjacent to the school. The field forms part of the septic system that collects waste from the 51-unit Anmore Green Estates strata complex above the school. Diane MacSporrin, the president of the Eagle Mountain’s parent advisory council, said parents went into a special meeting in the school’s library on Tuesday hoping to hear a plan for a definitive resolution and a date that will be achieved. Instead, many left more concerned than ever the problem won’t be resolved before the next school year begins in September. “There’s so much confusion,” said MacSporrin of the meeting that was attended by about 75 people, including representatives from the B.C. Ministry of Environment, Anmore Green Estates, School District 43, Port MoodyCoquitlam MLA Rick Glumac as well as Anmore Mayor John McEwen and several members of the village council. “It feels like our children are being held hostage,” she told The Tri-City News. MacSporrin said the parents’ frustration is amplified by two engineering reports that recommended the best solution to prevent further contamination from the septic system is to allow Anmore Green to hook into Port Moody’s municipal sewer system, just 67 metres away. In fact, in a letter sent last Wednesday to McEwen, the assistant deputy minister at the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, David Morel, said the village must join the Metro Vancouver Sewerage and Discharge District (MVS&DD) to allow such a hookup to happen but it could be limited to the 51 properties that comprise the strata, which would bear all the costs of the hookup and membership in the MVS&DD,

Hello A-Listers!

ANMORE MAYOR JOHN MCEWEN the body that administers municipal sewer systems and the expense of running them for all of Metro Vancouver. The city of Port Moody has said it would allow the hookup, as long as Anmore Green pays for it. But McEwen said there are still many unknowns about what those costs might be as well as any implications of allowing a sewer hookup would have for the village. “This is a huge gamechanger for us in regards to our OCP,” McEwen told The TriCity News, referring to the village’s recently adopted official community plan, which entrenches its “semi-rural character” that includes keeping properties on septic systems. McEwen said even a sewer hookup limited only to Anmore Green Estates would require an amendment to that OCP, triggering a need for public engagement and hearings before it could be allowed to happen. “It could be very difficult to sell,” McEwen said, adding that process could begin as early as Friday if a special meeting of the village council can be convened. “In Anmore, people are very passionate about being a semi-rural community.” But MacSporrin said parents of students attending Eagle Mountain middle, as well as Heritage Woods secondary school next door, are passionate about their kids’ well-being. She said that isn’t being protected, even with the hillside field closed off by heavy blue steel fencing that was erected last December, as required by a pollution abatement order issued the previous month by the ministry. MacSporrin said some parents are looking at sending their kids to other schools. “It’s definitely something people are talking about,” MacSporrin said. “How long can we maintain the frustration?” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Strawberries, potatoes and veggies: ah, summer MARKET FRESH

karen curtis

e are well into the growing season and it looks as though it is going to be a good one. Have you tasted those strawberries? They are fabulous this year. I have become a two-container buyer: one to eat at market and one to take home. I might even try my hand at some jam this year. I haven’t made it in years. My mom always made freezer jam and it is so easy. This is the recipe (from Kraft Canada) we always used. As much as I would like to cut back on the sugar, messing with the measurements may cause the jam not to set properly (although strawberry sauce isn’t the worst thing to have in the fridge): • Place 1 3/4 cups crushed strawberries into a bowl. • Add 4 cups of sugar and mix well. Let stand 10 minutes. • Stir in 1 pouch Certo Liquid Fruit Pectin and 2 tbsp lemon juice, stirring for thee minutes. • Pour into clean jars or plastic containers. Cover with tight lids and let stand at room temperature until set (may take 24 hours). Store in freezer. If used within three weeks, jam may be stored in refrigerator. I’d also like to try a chia jam this year. I found this recipe

in my Facebook feed and it sounds pretty easy. • 1 1/3 cups strawberries • 2/3 cups chopped rhubarb • 2 tsp honey • 2 tsp chia seeds Process all the ingredients in a blender and refrigerate overnight. For strawberries, 4D Farms is my go-to. Manjit and her family grow lovely sweet red berries, perfect for trying in all sorts of recipes. How about grilled chicken (Central Park has that) served with an easy strawberry salsa. Simply grill the chicken and top with a mixture of chopped strawberries, basil and Aji chunky chili sauce. Some boiled new potatoes and a spring green salad on the side will get you a delightful meal. Close to Home or Nature Village will have the potatoes and Shen’s can supply the greens. Speaking of new potatoes, have you had any yet? Much to my children’s dismay, I try to serve new potatoes with almost every meal. I like to cook extra and have them fried in butter the next day. A new potato salad is a treat, too. Try a vinaigrette instead of a mayonnaise dressing and add crisp bacon to it for a change. While strawberries and new potatoes are what I most look forward to in the spring, I see the carrots have arrived, too. There are very few vegetables I will eat raw but carrots are my favourite. Actually, I like carrots in any form — raw, cooked, roasted or baked in a cake. Now is the time to enjoy them simply prepared. I like to sauté them in butter and finish them with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of salt.

A TASTE OF SUMMER SUMMER VEGETABLE TIAN

(adapted from budgetbytes.com) Fresh summer vegetables and savoury herbs are layered together, then topped with cheese before baking to perfection in this summer dish that takes 15 minutes to prep and 45 to cook, and serves six. 1 medium yellow onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp olive oil 2 medium zucchini 1 medium potato 1 medium tomato 1 tsp dried thyme Salt and pepper 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice 1 tbsp chopped parsley Preheat the oven to 400 F. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Sauté the onion and garlic with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent (about 5 minutes). While the onion and garlic are sautéing, slice the zucchini, yellow squash, tomato and potato thinly (1/4-inch slices). Make sure the potatoes are very thin so that they soften quickly while in the oven. Coat the inside of an 8x8” casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spread the sautéed onion and garlic in the bottom of the dish. Arrange the other sliced vegetables, stacked vertically like dominos, in an alternating pattern. Season the top of the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the shredded cheese and bake without the foil for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown. Top with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.

Relax!

Enjoyyourfavourite foodswithconfidence whenyourdentures arecomfortableand perfectlyfitted!

Speaking of sautéing, don’t forget garlic scapes. They are awesome in a stir-fry or blended into a pesto. Whatever you are excited to finally get at market, make sure you stop at one of the markets to get your fill.

AROUND THE HOUSE

BILN Do you have it made FARMS in the shade at home? IN THE GARDEN

BRIAN MINTER

f you haven’t been reenergized by sitting under the cool shelter of a shade tree during our hot weather, it’s probably because you don’t have one. If you take a good look around our newer housing complexes, shade trees are very much a part of the landscape design. Considering the many fine attributes of these tall, stately trees, they are a welcome addition to our homes, especially now in our summer heat. The most common misconception about shade trees is that they grow 100 feet overnight, drop tons of leaves to be raked up each year and have root systems which demolish septic tanks and fields. Added to these alleged problems are concerns about insects, disease and pruning. For the most part, these are unfounded fears. Shade trees can also be planted for reasons other than shade. When I select a tree for a landscape, I always look for two or three ways in which it can enhance the overall landscaping theme. Colour is one of the most important factors, whether it be foliage colour during the growing season or a spectacular fall performance. For summer colour, consider the disease-free ‘Prairie Fire’ flowering crab-apple, the many new tree forms of magnolias and the rich colour of the narrow ‘Red Obelisk’ or ‘Dawyck Gold’ beech. Fall co-

lour specimens are too numerous to mention but my favourite is the Acer rubrum family, which begin their red glow in late September. Form is another important consideration. Tall, stark buildings or farm and commercial buildings too often spoil our vistas. Large pyramidal, round or columnar trees can soften and screen such structures and allow them to become more visually pleasing. Let’s talk about the cooling effect of a shade tree. I’ve mentioned before that one average-sized shade tree has a cooling effect equivalent to four household air-conditioners running twelve hours a day. The net result is that your house could be 10 to 13 C cooler during our summer hot spells. Think about that one as you lay awake at night, tossing and turning in a 30 C room. Another big bonus is that the cooling effect of a shade tree doesn’t arrive in the form of a hydro bill at the end of each month. If I haven’t convinced you yet that shade trees are a good investment, let me add the fact that they’ll keep your yard cleaner by collecting on their leaves the dust particles which would blow into your home, as well as sequestering carbon. In addition, they produce oxygen. They provide homes for birds, which in turn helps minimize your insect populations and they act as a sound barrier to absorb a good deal of the noise from local traffic. Finally, they provide a nice retreat on a sweltering afternoon. Now, if you’re still not convinced about huge shade trees, consider a slow-growing species or some of the new compact, columnar varieties. If it’s leaves you’re worried about, ‘Green Pillar’ oaks keep theirs all fall and winter. If insects are concerning you, gingkos, liquidambars and lirioden-

dron are all free of pests. Many shade trees have very fibrous root systems which are quite safe in even tiny lots. When you weigh the pros and cons, I think it’s fairly evident that shade trees are a welcome addition, not only to our homes but also to the environment. When is the best time to plant them? Ten years ago would have been great — the second best time is today.

CMF U13 GIRLS WIN B.C. YOUTH TITLE

Riverside’s Jarrett Chong throws his way to first place in the senior boys’ javelin at the Coquitlam and Delta district track and field championships in May. A top result at the BC high school provincials and the recent Pacific Invitation meet in Langley earned the Port Coquitlam thrower, as well as Coquitlam’s Jv Patry-Smith, the chance to compete at this weekend’s Jamaican U-18 Invitational. It will be the first major international meet for both.

MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS

JAVELIN

Tri-City throwers head to Jamaica Javelin throwers will fly flag on Canada Day weekend DAN OLSON

NEW WEST RECORD

For their first foray on the international stage in red and white, Jarrett Chong and Jenevieve (Jv) Patry-Smith will soak up some sun as members of a 42-athlete Canadian team in Jamaica. The pair were named to Team Canada, thanks to being ranked No. 1 in their respective javelin divisions, for the upcoming Jamaican Under-18 Invitational – a competition that was created after the cancellation of the North America-Central America championships (NACAC) u18

championships, which was to go this week in Nicaragua, due to political unrest. Chong, a Grade 11 Riverside Secondary student from Port Coquitlam, clinched the No. 1 national ranking position and qualification standard at a Richmond meet last month, and topped the high school provincials with a throw of 55.47 metres with the 800gram javelin, more than three metres further than his nearest rival. For Coquitlam’s PatrySmith, the deciding factor in making the national team came two weeks ago at the Jesse Bent Invitational in Coquitlam. A week earlier, the future University of B.C. thrower finished third and subsequently fell out of the No. 1 Canadian slot to national champion Rori Denness of Earl Marriott, whose throw of 41.75m was two metres beyond

the Royal City athlete’s best on the day. At the Bent meet, however, the École des Pionniers Grade 12 student reclaimed the top spot on the national rankings by edging Denness with a distance of 45.02m, with just a little more than one metre separating the two. “They are very excited, and very excited for all the neat gear they get with Team Canada on it,” remarked their coach at the Royal City Track and Field Club, Kevin Smith. “It’s a big one and they get quite a bit of stuff. They get a jacket, pants, warmups, competition singlet and shorts.” Swag aside, the accomplishments and standards met over the past month came in highpressure situations, preparing the pair for the international spotlight in Jamaica. Chong continued to hone his craft at the recent Pacific

Invitation in Langly, reaching a distance of 66.82m with the 700g javelin. “It’s an absolute thrill. When Jarrett threw that (66.82m), he thought he was having a very good series and I knew it was a big throw and suspected it was over 66. He came up to the fence and we got ready for a big high-five when they called out the number,” said Smith. Chong’s result in Langley also met the Youth Olympic standard, one of the biggest personal goals set at the beginning of the year. “Both (Patry-Smith and Chong) work incredibly hard at their craft. They are dedicated to going into the weight room on their own, and obviously they are very similar athletes,” said Smith. “They are both small for what they do, and both have up to this year have done all four throws. They are quite hungry.”

The fact that the duo have trained and excelled at the four field throwing disciplines into high school – discus, hammer, javelin and shotput – has given them a unique advantage as far as training goes, their coach noted. “There are no other athletes, no other throwers in the province for sure, and possibly for Canada, that have done all four throws for as long as they have. They’ve both done very well provincially and nationally in shotput, discus, hammer and javelin.” Smith envisions both as podium contenders in Jamaica, although there is little information on who else will attend from the North and Central American countries. “I think they both stand a very good chance,” said Smith. The 42-athlete team competes in Kingston, Jamaica on Saturday and Sunday.

It was a happy ferry ride home from Vancouver Island for the Coquitlam Metro-Ford U13 girls soccer team. Of the three CMFSC teams that played for the BC Soccer provincial youth Premier Cup championships last weekend in Victoria, the U13 girls squad was the only one boarding the boat with the extra baggage of a trophy after they defeated Surrey United 4-0 in the final. Kaitlyn Johnson scored the game’s first two goals. Both came off crosses from Kiera Scott. Tara Krsmanovic added a third goal before half time. Johnson then completed the hat trick after the break when she headed home a pass from Sarah Caravatta. Johnson’s scoring touch also earned her an award as the championship game’s most valuable player. The provincial title is the icing on the cake of an undefeated season for the team, which is coached by Esteban Mora. They finished atop the BC Soccer Premier League table with 10 wins and four draws and scored 47 goals while conceding only 14. The trip to Victoria wasn’t quite so successful for the other CMFSC teams that reached their finals. The U15 girls lost to Mountain United and the U17 boys were defeated by Surrey United, 2-0, in their final. Another seven CMFSC teams reached the semi-finals. sports@tricitynews.com

BCJALL

Jr. Adanacs slam Saints The Coquitlam Adanacs scored the first seven goals of the game and rolled to an 11-6 victory over the Port Coquitlam Saints in a showdown of BC Junior A Lacrosse League crosstown rivals on Wednesday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The win solidifies the Adanacs’ position atop the league standings, seven points ahead of the Saints, who are now tied with the New Westminster Salmonbellies

after they beat the Langley Thunder, 11-8, on Tuesday. The Adanacs held a 6-0 lead at the end of the first, then increased that to a seven goal margin when Dennon Armstrong scored three minutes after the break. The Saints got three of those back on goals by Connor Frost and Dylan Foulds, with a pair. But the Adanacs replied with a three-goal run of their own to restore their converted touchdown advantage by the

time the third period was half over. Armstrong and John Hofseth each had a pair of goals and two assists to lead the Adanacs’ attack, while the Saints’ Foulds finished the night with four points. The Saints face the Salmonbellies Friday at the PoCo Rec Centre then travel to Nanaimo on Saturday for a game against the Timbermen. The Adanacs visit the Burnaby Lakers on Monday.
