Climate, housing hot topics for youths Students at Maillard middle can’t vote but they have lots to say on fed. election Gary McKenna gmckenna@tricitynews.com

They may not be old enough to cast vote in the Oct. 21 federal election but Maillard middle students have strong opinions on who should hold office. Wednesday morning, the national campaign came to the Coquitlam school, which held a Port Moody-Coquitlam all-candidates meeting, giving the Liberals’ Sara Badiei, the People’s Party of Canada’s Jayson Chabot and the NDP’s Bonita Zarrillo a chance to present their platforms. Conservative candidate Nelly Shin and Green Party candi-

Cycling advocates Colleen MacDonald and Léon Lebrun say bollards installed up the middle of both shoulders on Bedwell Bay Road as it flanks Sasamat Lake have made that stretch unsafe for cyclists. The bollards were put in place to eliminate illegal parking during busy summer weekends. See story, page 19. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

date Bryce Watts were invited but did not attend. “I think it was very informative,” said Kai Smith, a Grade 8 student, after the event concluded. As someone who is going to be moving out on his own in a few years, Smith said housing costs are a concern and he was listening for candidates looking at ways to address the affordability crisis. “It is not good if it is really expensive in the future like it is now,” he said. Devyn Hartley, another Grade 8 student, concurred, saying while she supports the Liberals, she liked some of the things the NDP’s Zarrillo said regarding housing and helping people so they don’t become homeless. “She was very real and connected with the community,” she said. see

2019 federal election

Mental health, climate change are among kids’ big issues continued from front page

Dana Mizuguchi, Grade 8, told The Tri-City News she was torn between the NDP and the Liberals. She liked some of the things the Liberals were saying about the environment but said the NDP was better about supporting people with mental health problems, an issue she believes is not being addressed by the major parties. “There isn’t much about that at the moment,” she said. “There are many people that suffer with mental health [issues] and it is so much harder than outward injuries. It is a very hard thing to suffer through and I want the government to help with that.” Davis Gray, Grade 8, said he

supports the Liberals and is running under the party banner in a mock vote the school is holding Oct. 16.

All four students’ thoughts on climate change put them at odds with PPC candidate Chabot, who said during the

event that increased carbon in the atmosphere is a benefit for the environment. Chabot told students that warmer air increases growth of plankton, which fish can eat. Seals eat the fish and polar bears eat the seals, he added, noting that higher temperatures could be a benefit for the bears, as well as lengthening growing season. “I didn’t really agree with the things he was saying,” Hartley said. “Especially about climate change,” interjected Mizuguchi. “It is a real problem but he was kind of…,” added Hartley. “Brushing it off,” said Mizuguchi, finishing her friend’s thought. “I didn’t really like that.”

Meet federal candidates Voters will go to the polls to elect their MPs Monday, Oct. 21, with Tri-City voters choosing from several candidates in the ridings of Port Moody-Coquitlam and Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam. Here’s a list of remaining all-candidates meetings — all within the next week — where you can see and listen to your candidates up close and personal, and ask them questions important to you: • Oct. 6: The Civic Association of Iranian-Canadians is hosting an all-candidates debate at the City Centre branch of Coquitlam Public Library (1169 Pinetree Way) from 1 to 3 p.m. The organizers have invited candidates from both local ridings. • Oct. 8: TROPICA is hosting its second Brew-Debate at Twin Sails Brewing from 7 to 8 p.m. and Yellow Dog Brewing Co. from 8 to 9 p.m. featuring candidates from the Port Moody-Coquitlam riding, who will first speak in a moderated segment and then connect with voters in a meet-and-greet-style event. • Oct. 9: The Tri-Cities Environment Debate is bringing candidates together from both Port Moody-Coquitlam and Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam to talk about their best ideas and proposals for the environment. It’s part of a national 100 Debates on the Environment Program and will take place at Douglas College’s David Lam Campus (1250 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) from 7 to 9 p.m.

Tenants’ activist group promises action on Coquitlam demovictions “You are going to get pushback on these demovictions.”

gary McKenna gmckenna@tricitynews.com

A tenant rights organization is speaking out against a Burquitlam highrise development it says will displace lowincome renters. Murray Martin, a spokesperson for ACORN’s Burnaby chapter, called the 482-unit, two-tower project on Farrow Street a “demoviction” and said his group would be refocusing its activist efforts in Coquitlam, which has seen record-breaking development in recent years. “We have an established chapter in Burnaby that has been fighting demovictions,” he told The Tri-City News hours before a public hearing on the proposal. “Coquitlam is next on our target list.” Boffo Developments intends to build a 46-storey market tower containing 348 units and a 20-storey rental tower with 134 rentals, including 21 nonmarket rentals. The project would be built on land that is currently occupied by a 45-unit rental building constructed in 1967 and a 45-unit market condo built in 1977. Council unanimously approved fourth

and final reading for the project Monday. Martin acknowledged the new buildings would add rental units to the neighbourhood but noted they would command significantly higher rents than what currently exist on the site. Most tenants at 720 Farrow St. pay between $800 and $1,000 per month, he said, while rent on a new unit would likely be significantly higher. “They are completely unaffordable,” he said. He urged council to look at policies being considered in Burnaby that would allow tenants displaced by demolitions the chance to move into replacement units, according to the Mayor’s Task Force on

Community Housing Final Report. Developers would also have to provide moving assistance and top-ups for rent in temporary accommodations beyond current rental rates, the document states. Martin said Coquitlam has had a “free ride for the last few years” when it comes to new developments displacing existing low-income renters. “Tonight is a signal that there are no more free rides,” he said. “You are going to get push back on these demovictions.” Two residents of the current rental building also spoke out against the Boffo project. Kate Mills said a strong sense of community exists in the area that would be destroyed if the

building is demolished. Dean Elias, another resident, said he suffers from a disability and likes being close to transit. He said he doubts he could find something in his price range close to SkyTrain if he is forced to move. But Boffo vice-president Jim Ellis told council his company is doing everything it could, including offering available units in the company’s other properties, to accommodate residents and assist with their transition. A tenant support office has been set up on site and the company assured council the building will not be knocked down before March 2021, giving tenants a significant amount of time to make alternative housing arrangements. They would also be financially compensated. Under a proposal put forward by Boffo, tenants that

have lived in the building for five years or more would receive three months rent plus a half month rent for each year beyond the five years for a total of between $3,300 to as high as $13,400. Tenants who have lived in the building for one to five years would receive three months rent while anyone who has lived in the building for less than a year would receive one month rent. This is “certainly not a case of throwing everybody out,” Ellis said during Monday’s public hearing. “There are a number of residents that are quite satisfied.” Several city councillors pushed back against assertions made by Martin they were not doing enough to ensure that low-income families were not impacted by new developments. Mayor Richard Stewart said the city has gone to great lengths to incentivize developers to increase the amount of rentals in their projects. Coun. Dennis Marsden noted the city is on track to add 4,000 purpose-built rental units, replacing old units at a four-to-one rate. He also noted that while Burnaby’s task force on housing has made recommendations, nothing has been approved by council and included in any formal policy. “I haven’t seen any results from it yet,” he said.

A Coquitlam man has won $500,000 after matching all four Extra numbers in the Sept. 20 Lotto Max draw. Marvin Mitchell was at a gas station when he realized he had forgotten to check his lottery ticket, according to a British Columbia Lottery Corporation press release. “I scanned it, thinking to myself it would be a dollar or something,” said Mitchell, who said he was speechless when he found out he had won. “Everyone has a bucket list, this will allow us to do some of those things.” So far in 2019, British Columbians have claimed more than $179 million in lotto prizes, including a record-breaking $60 million ticket bought in Richmond.

When the founders of Tinhouse Brewing asked for advice before they started scouting for space, other B.C. brewers offered this: Lease a bigger unit than you think you need and build the biggest cold room possible. Saturday, Tinhouse’s four founders will open the doors to Port Coquitlam’s third craft brewery on Saturday in an 8,000-sq. ft. facility close to the Pitt River that boasts a fridge about three times the size of those in many similar breweries. The size and location were the reasons Andrea MacIntosh (left) and her partner Phil Smith, Mark Birney and David Fletcher picked PoCo. “We love being on the trail,” MacIntosh said during a tour, referring to the dike trail along the river. “The pedestrians and cyclists are there.” Recently, they hired Tim Rennie (Salt Spring Island Ales, Coal Harbour Brewing, Parallel 49 Brewing) as their head brewer; he’ll also have his label, Good Buddy Brewing — through Callister Brewing — on tap at Tinhouse. — Janis Cleugh MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

PORT COQUITLAM COMMUNITY CENTRE

PoCo addressing PCCC parking issues JANIs CLEUgh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The underground parkade at the new Port Coquitlam community centre (PCCC) won’t be open for two years. And the parking crunch at and around the facility is a source of frustration for sports

users and Terry Fox Library visitors — especially those with disabilities. This week, in response to feedback since PCCC opened in late August, the city designated new parking stalls within the Wilson Avenue lot for people with mobility challenges. That northside lot, which has 21 stalls, including two for the disabled, as per the BC Building Code, now has four extra accessible spots on weekdays from 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. — two close to the library en-

trance and two near the arena. PoCo’s chief administrative officer, Kristen Dixon, said staff are also working with HandyDART, which drops off disabled and elderly patrons in front of the library, to find alternative options. In addition, the city has made changes to the Zamboni loading zone to allow for 15-minute drop-offs and pickups. And it installed three-hour maximum parking signs at both the Wilson and Kingsway

lots, plus signs where parking isn’t allowed. Bylaw staff will patrol the areas to enforce limits. Terry Fox Library manager Kimberley Constable said she has heard a number of complaints about the lack of parking. And Joan Gould, acting president of the Wilson Centre Seniors Advisory Association, which programs the Wilson Lounge at PCCC, said while accessible parking hasn’t been an issue for her members, she

hears parking grumbles from the public when she works the PCCC information desk. “It’s the number one complaint,” she told The Tri-City News. Dixon said city staff appreciate residents’ patience as the phased construction on the $132-million complex continues. The city is encouraging users to walk, cycle, carpool or take public transit in the meantime. Questions about PCCC parking can be emailed to: recreation@portcoquitlam.ca.

Once finished in fall 2021, PCCC will have more than 500 surface and underground stalls including 10 spots for accessible parking, she said. “The underground accessible stalls are strategically located in the parkade to allow for easy access to both ends of the facility,” Dixon told The Tri-City News. “An accessibility consultant has been engaged throughout the project to ensure we are meeting a high standard for accessibility, going above and beyond the building code.”

PoMo council wants an earlier look at possible projects Early proposals often ‘tentative’ ideas, says planning manager MaRIO BaRTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Port Moody council wants an earlier look at development proposals. At its Sept. 17 committee of the whole meeting, council directed staff to prepare bylaws that would allow it to get a first look at projects before a developer makes a formal application to the city. Council would then get an additional opportunity to provide its feedback following a briefing of staff’s review of the application, along with input from the community planning advisory committee (CPAC). Proposals could then proceed to a public information meeting, a second submission review and then on to first and second reading by council. Currently, development proposals don’t come before council until after they’ve been evaluated by staff and CPAC. Mayor Rob Vagramov said council needs an early look at a developer’s concept for its

COUN. HUNTER MADSEN

project to determine whether its density, location, unit count and form factor fit in with the city’s needs and development goals. Coun. Hunter Madsen likened the first look to a negotiation. He said such early feedback would be helpful to developers. “It will point them in the direction of improving their offer so they won’t get blindsided because we haven’t told them what we’re looking for,” Madsen said. In a report, Port Moody’s general manager of planning and development, André Boel, said pre-applications for development proposals are usually lacking in detail.

“They sometimes just have a tentative idea they want to run past staff,” he told council, adding about a quarter of such inquiries never make it to the formal application stage. In Port Coquitlam, city council gets its first look at development applications after submission requirements have been addressed and staff has filed a report. Coquitlam follows a similar process. Madsen said a change earlier this year to reduce the number of councillors and have more representatives from the community on CPAC — which is usually the first public consideration of development applications — means those applications can be far along before the full council gets a close look at them. Boel said an early presentation to council by a developer of its project’s concept would generate considerable public interest. But Vagramov suggested developers might not want public scrutiny so soon, and their presentation could be considered by a new committee of council in another venue away from council chambers.

A number of visitors to the Port Moody recreation complex have had items ranging from wallets to clothing stolen from lockers, according to police, who are warning patrons not to bring valuables with them when they work out. CITY OF PORT MOODY PHOTO CRIME

Make sure you secure your stuff at PoMo rec complex Police issue warning after thefts from lockers of valuables GaRy MCKEnna gmckenna@tricitynews.com

A rise in the number of locker break-ins at the Port Moody recreation complex over the last month has police reminding patrons to leave their valuables at home. Sgt. Travis Carroll told The Tri-City News Monday there have been five thefts since August, with thieves making off with everything from

wallets to clothing. “We want to make sure people are aware that this is a possibility and make sure they are securing their items and not bringing valuables to the gym,” he said. Carroll added that police are working closely with city staff to raise awareness of the thefts and patrols of the locker room are being increased. Coquitlam initiated a bait locker program 10 years ago after a rise in similar thefts at the City Centre Aquatic Complex. Bait lockers are armed with alarms so when a person pries open the door, staff and security are

notified immediately. Signs are also placed around the locker area informing would-be thieves the risks of opening a bait locker. According to city staff, the initiative led to a significant decrease in the number of locker break-ins. Similar success was seen at Port Coquitlam’s Hyde Creek rec centre. Carroll said police in Port Moody are aware of the program. “We are not necessarily going to rule that out,” said Carroll. “I don’t want to speak to our investigative techniques.”

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

W E E K LY O N L I N E P O L L

People who run the legislature are careless with our money

Last Week t

Latest report shows gov’t. officials didn’t heed the last one VICTORIA TIMES COLONIST @timescolonist

hey don’t care about looking after your money and they don’t care how hard you work to earn that money. By “they,” we mean the people who run the provincial legislature. The people we elect, the people they hire as senior staff members, the people we should be able to trust. Is there another way to interpret the report filed by Carol Bellringer, the province’s auditor general, on the outrageous expense claims filed by the three senior offices at the B.C. legislature? The people in charge had

been warned of this out-ofcontrol spending; it’s been a dozen years since Bellringer’s predecessor, John Doyle, started asking questions about the spending habits in the legislative assembly. It took him five years to get at the books because the clerk of the legislature repeatedly refused to hand them over. In 2011, Doyle reported his findings to Bill Barisoff, the speaker at the time. The report was scathing but Barisoff did nothing, and the elected members, both BC Liberal and NDP, hid under their desks to avoid dealing with the sense of entitlement that the report had revealed. The report was finally made public in July 2012, when Barisoff was pushed by the media and by Doyle himself. The information it contained revealed, at best, neglect and incompetence. As an example,

MLAs did not provide proper documentation for their credit card charges, yet the government was paying the bills. A Times Colonist editorial in response to the report said that taxpayers deserved nothing less than a basic, straightforward account. “A receipt for every expense and every expenditure recorded properly. Regular financial statements. Proper budgeting. Regular and effective meetings with the management committee.” We’re still waiting for openness and accountability. The people with their hands in our pockets might not heed the words of a newspaper but if they had any human decency, they would know that what has been happening is wrong. The Doyle report meant nothing, it seems, to the clerk, the sergeant-at-arms and to those in the speaker’s office. They continued to spend willy-

nilly, and to hell with British Columbia’s taxpayers. Speaker Darryl Plecas opened the door to the financial irregularities and deserves some praise. But don’t be too hasty with that praise; after all, travel spending in his office tripled over the past year. Will our MLAs — New Democrat, Liberal and Green — finally start showing respect for the people of B.C.? Will they rein in the staggering abuse of power, the disgusting sense of entitlement and the utter disregard for their constituents? Or will things just carry on, giving fuel to a report from another auditor general in a few years? As it is, we know they don’t care about the misuse of taxpayer dollars. We know that they have been warned before and that they chose to ignore Doyle’s words. They just don’t care.

Densify right in Moody Centre

Story pushes young voters to socialism

The Editor, Re. “‘Redefining the future of Port Moody’” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 26). I am excited to imagine the possibilities for a future Moody Centre. This is an area that will define our city. Everyone who cares about Port Moody should take an interest. But how will this area, and potential heart of our city, define our future? How will it contribute towards the huge issues we face such as climate change, housing affordability and transportation? As a transportation planner, these are some of the key principles that I hope the city and the land owners will follow to truly define the future of our city in a positive way:

• Proximity to transit: This one is easy as Moody Centre is already there. Locating housing close to rapid transit gives more people the opportunity to travel to destinations such as work, stores or parks without the need for a motor vehicle. • A great mix of land uses: Locating shops, jobs, amenities and homes all together around transit means both new residents and existing ones all have more shops and services to walk to. Walking instead of driving lowers greenhouse gas emissions. • Streets that are safe and delightful to walk on: A walkable community needs destinations but it also needs safe and comfortable walking infrastructure. People will

walk longer distances if the walk is attractive. I used to live in Vancouver’s West End and would happily walk 20 minutes to Yaletown for dinner; now, 20 minutes from my home in Klahanie would take me along the Barnet Highway toward Coquitlam — a very different proposition. • Locating lower income housing close to transit: Based on the statistics shared by the landowners, approximately 12% of the residential units would be “affordable.” Other municipalities are achieving higher numbers than this and we should encourage our city council to push for more. Port Moody, and Moody Centre in particular, should be a city where ev-

eryone can feel welcome. • Ensuring enough amenities to meet growing needs: As we ask more people to live in smaller units, cities need to do density well. This means providing abundant public spaces and other amenities, vital for mental as well as physical health. The city should set high expectations for these early, so developers are aware of what’s being asked of them. If the city and landowners can achieve the above, we will be on our way to creating a Moody Centre — and city — that is healthier for people and the planet, is more equitable and is a fantastic place to travel through and hang out in. This is for all our futures. Tim Barton, Port Moody

The Editor, Re. “‘We don’t have the luxury of sitting on the sidelines. We’re being politicized by the conditions of our time’” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 26). Reporter Stefan Labbé’s story on young voters is a poorly veiled attempt to urge students to vote socialist in the upcoming election. The quoted disclaimer that the organizers of the program are not telling the young whom to vote for is openly belied by the various politically correct code words that keep recurring as predictably as rain in El Niño, including “affordability,” “education costs,”

“housing,” etc., and, of course, all the usual “burning planet” hyperbole. (By the way, did The TriCity News take any note of our remarkably clear, smoke-free skies this summer despite the long periods of hot weather and the Vancouver Sun’s gloomy opinion just last year that orange suns will probably be a fact of Lower Mainland life from now on?) So, yes, there’s no obvious bias in the program — or in the reporter. Vote for whomever you like, young people, just so long as they’re Liberal, NDP or Green. Gordon Tryon, Coquitlam

Take Pain Out of the Picture with ACUPUNCTURE

POLiCe

Discipline process continues for PM cop Diane StranDberg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

A Port Moody police officer and one from Vancouver who were acquitted of criminal charges in Cuba are still facing a disciplinary process at home after an investigation under the Police Act determined there was enough evidence to take the issue to the next stage. No details about the evidence are being released but the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) said in a press release Wednesday a hearing will be held into the conduct of PMPD Const. Jordan Long and VPD Const. Mark Simms. Chief Officer Dave Jones of the Metro Vancouver Transit Police, who reviewed the initial report and determined a hearing was needed, will conduct the hearing and decide whether there is enough evidence for discipline, which could range from corrective measures to dismissal. The OPCC will then review Jones’ decision and could refer the issue for further review to

a retired judge, according to Andrea Spindler, the deputy police complaint commissioner. “At the conclusion, we will review it, either we agree with the review or we will appoint a retired judge to look into it,” Spindler told The Tri-City News. A PMPD spokesperson was not available to comment by The Tri-City News’ print deadline on the next stage of the disciplinary process or Long’s status at the department. But the OPCC press release said the investigation was conducted under the Police Act to determine whether the officers’ off-duty activities during their Cuban vacation are discreditable conduct. No further information is being released as the commission seeks to “protect the integrity of the proceedings.” The case dates back to March 2018, when both officers, who are friends, were on vacation in Varadero. Cuban police arrested them in connection with an alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old Ontario girl on vacation. Authorities would not allow the officers to leave the

An estimated crowd of more than 100,000 people streamed into downtown Vancouver last Friday for a protest demanding action on climate change, part of a series of similar demonstrations in cities around the world. A number of Tri-City people took part, including several students from Dr. Charles Best secondary school in Coquitlam. Stefan Labbé/the tri-City newS c L i M at e p r O t e s t

Tri-City teens demand climate action ‘Someone’s always got your back,’ says Best’s Albrecht stefan Labbé slabbe@tricitynews.com

Tri-Cities residents joined more than 100,000 protestors last Friday who skipped school and work to descend on Vancouver city hall and demand action on climate change. The protest, the largest of its kind in Metro Vancouver history, capped off a week of similar demonstrations in cities around the world, including in Montreal, where teenage

Young people were the leaders of last Friday’s massive climate demonstration in downtown Vancouver (and around the world), including many from the TriCities.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who sparked the student protest movement, called on Canadian politicians to do more to fight the climate crisis. The Metro Vancouver group Sustainabiliteens organized the event, drawing together Indigenous leaders and environmental activists as well as thousands of young people not old enough to vote in the upcoming elections. But where the group was expecting 10,000 to show, crowds swelled to over 10times that number, according to a tweet by Vancouver police chief Adam Palmer. Coquitlam’s Rhema Plunkett was one of many

who made the trip out from the Tri-Cities. As a student from Dr. Charles Best secondary school, she took part in a small, impromptu climate strike outside her school last spring and joined a recent “die in” earlier this week on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery. This time, she and her friends took advantage of SD43’s Tuesday decision to excuse students from school with parental permission. “I wanted to be a part of the bigger movement with all of the people that were trying to put out the same message,” she told The Tri-City News. The students from Best started the day with their own mini demonstration outside

their school. Ciara Albrecht, 16, had joined Plunkett on three other climate change demonstrations this year but this was the first time people pushed back. “It was the first time somebody yelled at me — mainly older men yelling out their [car] windows,” said Albrecht. “The look on their face said it all, that we shouldn’t have been out there at all. “It just makes me want me to do it even more,” she added. When the girls showed up at the school’s office to sign out, they found a lineup curling out the door. The crowd got even worse on the packed SkyTrain.

Day-to-day, engaging with the idea that the world’s climate system is on a crash course is daunting. But on days like these, Albrecht said she realizes she is part of something bigger and dealing with it becomes just one more thing on the to-do list. “I’ve never really had a connection to anything this worldwide. It’s always been, you have to choose if you’re Canadian or from some place else,” said Albrecht. “When you see that there are kids protesting on every side of the world, you realize you don’t have to choose a side. Someone’s always got your back.”

Colony Farm trail should open early in 2020 Sheep Paddocks Trail will link with the Traboulay PoCo Trail stefan Labbé slabbe@tricitynews.com

A popular Tri-City walking and cycling trail will be ready for New Years’ resolutions, according to a spokesperson for

Metro Vancouver. A replacement project for the most vulnerable sections of the Sheep Paddocks Trail in Colony Farm Regional Park began in 2017. The plans called for the trail to be moved to higher ground and link the Traboulay PoCo Trail at Pitt River Road with Colony Farm’s Home Farm Dike and Mundy Creek trails. Metro Vancouver said it

expects the project to be completed by Dec. 31 but Sarah Lusk, a spokesperson for regional body, said that will depend on the weather. “In-stream work has been completed and currently they are working on the pond, trail work and then planting will follow,” Lusk wrote in an email to The Tri-City News. Colony Farm Sheep Paddocks Trail suffered years of

erosion and flooding from the nearby Coquitlam River. And in a recent provincial report detailing the risks from climate change-induced natural hazards, Colony Farm was noted as one of the most vulnerable areas of the Tri-Cities should a major Fraser River flood event hit Metro Vancouver. The project includes a 1.6-km multi-use trail, riverbank protection along the

Coquitlam River, stream restoration and wetland enhancement, according to project documents. In the past, the trail provided pedestrians with an alternative to travelling along Lougheed Highway and was popular among hikers, walkers trail runners and birders. Located at a critical ecological location on the Fraser River, the trail runs through

giant cottonwood trees and offers picturesque views of the Coquitlam River and surrounding habitat frequented by a variety of wildlife. A 2013 Metro Vancouver report noted evidence of black bears, beavers, striped skunk, exotic eastern grey squirrel, mink and a total of 30 bird species, including the bluelisted barn swallow and great blue heron.

Cycling advocates Colleen MacDonald of Belcarra and Léon Lebrun of Coquitlam say bollards installed up the middle of both shoulders on Bedwell Bay Road as it flanks Sasamat Lake have made that stretch unsafe for cyclists. The bollards were put in place to eliminate illegal parking during busy summer weekends. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Parking problems near Sasamat Lake prompted city action MaRIo BaRTel mbartel@tricitynews.com

A Belcarra cyclist says a solution to the problem of parking congestion around Sasamat Lake has created a safety concern. Colleen MacDonald, who authored a book about familyfriendly cycling routes in the Lower Mainland, said plastic bollards installed by the city of Port Moody along Bedwell Bay Road are making it unsafe for cyclists. That’s because the bollards run along the middle of the paved shoulder, limiting space on one side to grass and gravel culverts and to speeding traffic on the other. “I was dismayed,” MacDonald said of the appearance of the bollards in mid-August. She said as other Metro Vancouver cities are moving to create safer environments for cyclists, PoMo’s move felt “like a step back.” But Kim Law, Port Moody’s acting general manager of engineering and operations, said the city had little choice in dealing with the ongoing issue of cars parking illegally along the shoulder of the road as it winds

along the lake’s western flank. She said when signs and increased enforcement of parking restrictions didn’t work, physical barriers had be to put in place at a cost of up to $30,000. Law said putting the bollards along the outer edge of the shoulders wouldn’t be a deterrent to parking vehicles and placing them too close to the travel lane would expose them to damage from snow-clearing equipment in the winter. She added the space still available to cyclists is consistent with other, narrower sections of the route from Ioco to Belcarra, where they’re often forced to ride in the traffic lane anyway. Léon Lebrun of Trails BC, who also leads groups of cyclists on tours around the Lower Mainland, said the bollards discourage less experienced cyclists who might not be comfortable riding on the road. “They didn’t think ahead,” he said of the city’s solution, adding a longer-range vision that encourages active transportation is needed. Lebrun suggested more pavement could be added to the outside of the shoulders to make them wider to safely accommodate cyclists or the city could explore building a multiuse path away from the road that links Ioco and Belcarra. “The whole focus should be on improving the cycling network,” he said.

“They didn’t think ahead... The whole focus should be on improving the cycling network.”

Law said that may be a long way off as Port Moody’s master transportation plan prioritizes improved cycling facilities in the city’s urban core, along Murray and St. Johns streets as well as the Shoreline Trail. MacDonald, who has lived in Belcarra since 1976, said the parking along Bedwell Bay Road is usually only a problem about eight weekends a year. Making that route less safe for cyclists year round is akin to slaying an ant with a sledgehammer. She suggested the introduction of paid parking to the park, along with improvements to the cycling infrastructure, might encourage visitors to ride there and leave their cars at home.

‘Challenges’ in other cities that allow chickens: Coquitlam GRanT GRanGeR ggranger@tricitynews.com

Serena Perone is sitting on her haunches in her backyard playing with Popcorn, a mechanical toy chick, as its beak pecks away at the deck, mimicking a real chicken. The nineyear-old Coquitlam girl actually wants to have the real thing in her backyard but the city won’t let her and she hopes to do something about it. Her interest in chickens started at school, where her younger brother’s pre-school class was taking care of chicks. “Me and my friend were playing with them and when I got home, I asked my mom if we could buy chickens. And she said Coquitlam doesn’t allow them. So I wanted to change that,” said Serena, a Grade 4 student at Queen of All Saints school, on her family’s back porch in the Harbour Chines neighbourhood. “When I was holding it, it felt sooo soft and it was looking at me.” So she wrote a letter to The Tri-City News asking for help in her crusade. “At first, I just wanted them as pets because they’re, like, cute,” said Serena. But now she also wants them for their nutritional and organic value. “When they run around, the eggs taste better and they’re healthier,” she said. Her mom, Marina Perone, said she figures the family could take care of up to four chickens, one each for Serena

and her three younger brothers, Daniel, Sebastian and Gabriel. “At first, I thought, ‘I’ve got four kids! What am I going to do with chickens?” Perone told The Tri-City News. “But then I thought, you know, it might be a good pet project for them and takes a bit off the grocery bill. “And it could be good responsibility for them to take care of an animal and clean up after them, and give them love and attention to make sure they’re taken care of. And to see that you can’t just go to the store and grab whatever you want, it has to come from somewhere.” If they do get them, it’s up to Serena, though, to take care of them. “That’s the deal if we get them,” Perone said. “They’re going to be her responsibility.” She said a friend in Surrey used to have chickens at home. “The chicks seemed to like to pick up the weeds and the bugs, and they’ll leave the plants. They said they’ll help take care of your garden. Then their poop is fertilizer for the garden,” she said. “There’s a bit of maintenance where you have to clean out the hay now and then.” Serena, who says she wants to open her own restaurant when she grows up, likes eating eggs in all sorts of styles: scrambled, over easy, in an omelette or frittata. One of her favourite meals to make is fox toast, which is scrambled eggs on a piece of toast with berries strategically plunked into them to make it look like a fox. Serena also likes to eat chicken. “But I don’t want to eat

those chickens,” she said emphatically about her potential backyard chickens. Coquitlam prohibits residents from keeping any poultry or livestock in a dwelling unit. They’re only allowed on land designated for agricultural use and those properties are usually at least an acre and where some agricultural use is compatible with the neighbourhood. There are some municipalities in the region, including Vancouver, that allow chickens to be kept in backyards. “Like many cities, Coquitlam has considered whether to expand the zones in which the keeping of chickens is permitted,” said a city spokesperson in an email to The Tri-City News. “Some municipalities that have allowed backyard chickens in more urban residential areas are reporting unexpected challenges. Staff here in Coquitlam will continue to monitor the challenges and successes of programs in other municipalities.” A 2017 staff report to council said some of those concerns included noise, potential illness, unsightliness and attracting rodents and biting insects or ticks that can transmit disease. “In Coquitlam, there is the added concern of attracting predatory wildlife such as bears, coyotes and cougars,” said the report. “[A]s recently as [2016], a bear accessed an unauthorized chicken coop in southwest Coquitlam, creating a significant public safety concern. Property was damaged, some of the chickens were killed, and the bear had to be destroyed as a result of this incident.”

THE ENVIRONMENT

Early in school year time for good habits

bout tis time last year, The Tri-City News shared a great article on helping “Calm the chaos on busy school mornings.” Suggestions included making lunches and laying out clothes the night before, getting a good night’s sleep, rewarding timeliness, sticking to schedules and staying organized with supplies, gear and keys, etc. Convenience is key for busy families and decisions are often made with that mind. But although children can remind their parents of good stewardship practices (e.g., the 4Rs, turning down the thermostat, composting, etc.), parents are the primary role models when it comes to forming healthy habits in young people. When it comes to food and drink, many of our modernday conveniences are proving to wreak havoc on our planet and, to varying degrees, on human health as well. Factory farms, industrial fertilizers, pesticides, many processed foods, plastic packaging, and single-use cups and containers affect animal, soil and water

LIVING GREEN Melissa Chaun

health, and ultimately our watersheds and oceans. If we truly love our children, then our day-to-day decisions and the choices we make need to not only instil life-giving habits that will sustain them as they grow, but should also protect the planet for posterity. Adopting new behaviours takes time but with a little initial consistency — baby steps! — before you know it, you’re exercising a new and healthier habit without giving it much thought. The dividends are farreaching.

ECO-FRIENDLY TIPS

Here are some suggestions

to get started — I’m sure you’ll think of more: • Substitute high-priced sugary cereals with homecooked oatmeal, prepared previously in large batches. As a natural sweetener, add locally produced honey while the oatmeal is still warm. Purchase rolled oats (and steel cut oats for more texture) in the bulk food section or purchase those (preferably organic) products that come in paper bags. Try to avoid “quick oats” and non-organic products that have lost much of their nutritional value and, therefore, do not satisfy like their organic counterparts. I

PIXABAY PHOTO

also like to add hemp seeds as an excellent (Canadian) source of protein and local organic (frozen) blueberries to my morning porridge. Eggs are also an excellent source of protein (free run/range, please). • Avoid single-use plastics. Use re-usable sandwich containers and (cloth) lunch bags, avoiding those preprepared snack trays as much as possible. Buy whole fruits and vegetables, adding noncoloured, self-sliced cheese and/or hummus from larger

store-bought containers (or bring your own to the delicatessen). If your child loves yogurt, save money and plastic by buying larger containers, serving up daily portions in reusable (e.g., stainless steel) containers. There are now many durable utensil sets from which to choose, including from your local camping store. • Always bring water — in a durable, reusable drinking bottle. Avoid over-sweetened and over-priced beverages sold in single-use Tetra-packs

and plastic bottles. Although a (small) percentage of these packs and bottles are recycled, recycling takes significant fossil fuel energy and should always be regarded as a last resort. Besides, hydrating with water is the healthiest option for us all. • Celebrate slow food. Not only do home-prepared meals help ensure good quality ingredients, they enable you to express your creative side while teaching your children invaluable life skills. Many cultures celebrate their food and sacred family time by enjoying home-cooked meals together. Try to make this a priority. The long-term benefits are vital to healthy eating, family cohesion, building social skills and promoting emotional-mental well-being. Have fun finding new recipes online and getting creative with leftovers. Melissa Chaun of Port Moody is an ecologist with a passion for all things sustainable.

BOOK OF THE WEEK n Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan n Reviewed by Anthea Goffe, Coquitlam Public Library

It is always with great anticipation that I await the latest novel by Booker Prize-winning author Ian McEwan and Machines Like Me, released earlier this year, does not disappoint. Different from any of his previous novels yet full of the same precise, effortless prose, McEwanâ€™s latest explores the social and ethical aspects of artificial intelligence when the main character, Charlie, recklessly spends his inheritance on a robot prototype named Adam. Adam becomes intertwined with Charlieâ€™s life, including his work and his leisure pursuits, even encroaching on his tenuous love life with bohemian neighbour Miranda. McEwan seamlessly weaves near-future technology with a historical re-writing of 1980s England, adding a touch of dark suspense when Adam uncovers a mysterious secret from Mirandaâ€™s past. This novel ultimately leaves us with more questions about our human contradictions and increasing reliance on smart technology than it answers but in a funny, evocative and sometimes profound way.

It was meant to be a reminder not to waste money and food and clothing scraps. janis cleugh/the tri-city news

From “sugar reports” and quilt fundraisers to food and clothes rationing and blood drives, Coquitlam residents did their part to prop up the troops and boost morale during the Second World War. And their contributions can be seen in an exhibit that opened last month at Mackin House, curated by heritage managers Jasmine Moore and Tannis Koskela. Titled Home Front: World War II, the display harkens to a dark time when men and women left their families to fight in the European and Pacific theatres and to defend Canada and the Allies’ interests. Meanwhile, back home, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board (WPTB) controlled goods and those who didn’t follow the strict rationing regulations were guilted by the onslaught of propaganda ads. Those messages to reinforce efficiency in the name of patriotism are a recurring theme in the new show. Vancouver fashion historian Ivan Sayers offers more than a dozen examples of garments that were hand-knit

or up-cycled during the early 1940s, including a wedding dress made from a silk parachute. Clothing patterns also had to get the WPTB approval stamp before they were sold and stitched up.

As for food, beans and eggs were pushed as protein substitutes, backyard “victory” gardens were encouraged and new recipes were developed showing how to use fat and bones for future meals.

“There was a lot of pressure to eat properly and by the book,” said Koskela during a tour Monday at Mackin House. Still, “Coquitlam wasn’t as bad off with shortages as others” because Fraser Mills, the sawmill south of Maillardville and a big employer, was a protected industry as lumber was needed during the war. Museum staff also cleared out a lower root cellar at Mackin House — a littleknown room in the 1909-built house, off the kitchen — to convert into a mock air raid shelter. The space, decorated with wartime maps and memorabilia, also includes a recorded loop of sirens in the distance. Koskela said several visitors to the exhibit have recalled the sound of the wail, either as residents living in Coquitlam or Fraser Mills during the war years, or in their native countries during war time. The display also features a photo of people at Essondale (later renamed Riverview Hospital) drawing their curtains when air raid warning signals sounded to make potential targets less noticeable. Upstairs at Mackin House, the exhibit focuses on women’s war efforts (Vancouverborn Elise MacGill, who designed the Hawker Hurricane airplane, and the Canadian see

Shim feature at VIFF gala Daughters will roll at Vancouver Intâ€™l Film Festival gala Oct. 5

War-time mayor donated his blood continued from page

janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Anthony Shim had been working on the script for a while. Initially, the Centennial secondary grad had envisioned the work as a one-act play for Railtown Lab, an initiative curated by Shim for the Railtown Actors Studio, a Vancouver theatre school where he teaches. But as he crafted the narrative, which delves into grief, Shim came across a documentary about two American girls who had been bullied and took their own lives. Struck by the emotion by the film participants, Shim decided to write for the screen rather than the stage. Saturday, heâ€™ll see the world premiere of Daughter, the film he wrote, directed, produced and edited â€” and even had a cameo in â€” at the Vancouver International Film Festivalâ€™s BC Spotlight gala, to be held at the Vancouver Playhouse.

(There will be another screening Oct. 8 at 6:15 p.m. at the Rio Theatre.) Of his inaugural feature film being picked as the best of B.C. entries, Shim told The Tri-City News last week, â€œItâ€™s an honour and surreal.â€? Starring Railtown cofounder and artistic director John Cassini and actors Teagan Vincze, Jenn MacleanAngus, Jordyn Ashley Olson, Ryan Robbins and Gabrielle Rose, the 101-minute movie was shot in 13 days in Vancouver and Delta. It tells the story of a rich Vancouver executive named Jim (Cassini) whoâ€™s mourning the loss of his daughter, who

died a year earlier by suicide. â€œHeâ€™s seeking solace and any way to escape his reality,â€? Shim explained. Jim befriends a young escort named Nikki (Vincze) and, in a hotel room, he shares his sadness with her. Shim said grief is a subject he has been studying since his dad passed when Shim was 24. Over the years, he has explored how others have coped during the loss of a family member or friend; the American documentary about

teen suicide â€œalso struck a chord with me.â€? â€œI want to see characters in a story when theyâ€™re in their quiet moments of grief, when no one else is around. How do they survive day after day after a tragedy?â€? Shim admits Daughter isnâ€™t an easy movie to watch as it delves into the dark and disturbing sides of grief.

(servicemen at home who didnâ€™t see action); Japanese, German and Italian internment camps across Canada; and how children assisted with the war drives by collecting paper and rubber scraps, knitting clothing and mailing care packages.

janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

A Port Coquitlam author released a memoir last month titled Remember the Good Times. The book tells stories from Jim Peacock’s career as a journalist and in public relations as well as his time in the Tri-Cities, especially in Port Moody, where he lived for more than 50 years. Earlier this year, Peacock was bestowed with an Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation doctor of philanthropy award for launching the Jean Peacock Memorial Fund following the death of his wife last September; proceeds support the foundation’s capital campaign. Remember the Good Times is available at Western Sky Books (2132-2850 Shaughnessy St., PoCo) and through its online shop. As well, five copies of the book have each been donated to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Auxiliary (to sell in its hospital gift shop) and the PoCo retirement home where he now lives (to support a local charity).

New look and challenges for boys’ soccer Teams are now a part of the Fraser North zone

MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

Boys high school soccer in the Tri-Cities has a new look. A change adopted by BC School Sports to the zoning structure means Tri-City teams that comprise the Fraser Valley North zone will no longer have to battle their way through the expansive, ultra-competitive Fraser Valley to get to provincials. Instead, they’ll compete with teams from Burnaby New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The smaller pool of teams likely means one less berth will be available to the championship tournament so teams will have to be on their toes to carry momentum into the playoffs to earn one of those positions, said Mike Viveiros, the head coach of the Heritage Woods Kodiaks. “If only two spots to B.C.s are up for grabs, it will be more difficult to make B.C.s,” he told The Tri-City News. The zoning change has also introduced a tiering structure to the league, with the Gleneagle Talons dropping down to the second tier to compete against teams from Maple Ridge and PItt Meadows while perennial

ARCHBISHOP CARNEY STARS

Archbishop Carney Stars coach Mate Zvicer says he believes his AA team can compete with teams from larger AAA schools. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

AA contenders Archbishop Carney steps up into the league’s top tier. As the season starts hitting its stride this week with a full slate of matches, here’s how the teams stack up:

DR. CHARLES BEST BLUE DEVILS

Blue Devils’ head coach Dave Jones said a young, inexperienced lineup and the loss of some key veterans will make it tough for his side to

match its fifth-place standing at last year’s provincial championship, let alone repeat its 2017 triumph. But what the team will miss with the absence of players like Elijah Dos Santos,

The Stars finished second at last year’s AA provincials and fourth the year before. But those results have little currency now that the team is competing with the bigger AAA schools, said coach Mate Zvicer, who remains confident his charges are up to the challenge. “I feel we have always been able to compete at AAA despite being an AA school,” Zvicer said. “I think our talent and work ethic will help us overcome the challenge of playing up this year.” Zvicer said the Stars are especially strong at centre midfield, where three Grade 11 players — Franci Powell, Keiran Eve and Nick Pavicevic — have the skill, vision, touch and zeal to dominate that area. “I’m glad we don’t have to play against them,” he said.

Another junior, Dawson Brown, will use his finishing touch from the striker position to drive the Stars’ offence, along with Mikey Dale’s strength, leadership and compete level, said Zvicer, who also dismissed any concerns about his side’s youth. “I would say they are a team that is very motivated.”

TERRY FOX RAVENS

The Ravens are young but head coach John Murphy said the team’s talent has him excited about its potential. While key members from last year’s squad — including keeper Shane Grinwis, Christian Barbato, Jacob York and Matthew Garofalo — have graduated, Murphy said they’ll be capably replaced by Sam Caldarone in net, senior midfielder Ighsaan Mohamed, and tall, athletic defenders Cole and Bailey Newton. Murphy said the pieces are in place for a successful season. How far that goes will be determined by “the importance of playing together and peaking at the right time.”

PORT MOODY BLUES

Blues coach Robert Edwards hopes a light touch will bring out the best in his charges. Edwards said while Port Moody will field a strong, hardworking team, they’ll also see

Terry Fox Ravens ball carrier Ethan Elliot tries to escape the pursuit of St. Thomas More Knights’ tacklers in their BC Secondary Schools Football Association game, Friday at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium. The Knights won, 24-11. It was the Ravens’ fourth straight loss, two of them to conference opponents. STM running back Nick Osho scored two majors while quarterback Anthony De Lazzari connected with receiver Gabe Nacario for the Knights’ first touchdown. Ravens battled back to make the score as close as 15-11 but Osho’s second scamper into the end zone ended any further threat. Saturday, the Centennial Centaurs lost on the road to fifth-ranked Abbotsford 34-0. The Centaurs will travel to Mission Friday to play the Roadrunners while Fox will play at Seaquam Saturday.

Success in the here and now, though, will be dependant on strong midfield play by senior Luca Cavasin as well as juniors Michael Osorio and Anthony White. “That will be our strong suit,” Viveiros said, adding his team will be challenged to find scoring after the graduation of Carsen Maurice, Andrew Roberts, Farzad Rajab Ali and Ethan Gaddu.

CENTENNIAL CENTAURS

The Centaurs stand tall in net, with 6’7” Dominic Parolin, who’s also a star on Centennial’s senior boys’ basketball team, guarding the crease. From the goal line out, head coach Kevin Comeau said the Centaurs will be a gritty, defensive side with eight returning players and nine newcomers. Key defenders such as senior Dante Bandiera, midfielder Elijah Quinto, as well as newly-minted starters Liam Haysom and Nico Porretti, will have to hold the fort as the team tries to find its scoring legs with the graduation of last year’s top point-producers,

RIVERSIDE RAPIDS

What the Rapids lack in talent, parent-coach Nigel Wheeler hopes to make up with enthusiasm and versatility. Wheeler said the oftenconflicting commitments of student athletes means players will be expected to step into unfamiliar roles as their teammates tend to academics, part-time jobs and graduation requirements. How well they do that will go a long way to determine

Riverside’s success. Key players to lead the way include defenders Scott Helmhold and Mick Oravec as well as forwards Liam Wheeler and Henry Kim. Nigel Wheeler said he’ll also lean on outside midfielder Carson Grisley and defender Jacob Mitchell while juniors John Franca, Connor Kerr and Nick Ucrainet will also be expected to chip in.

With only two returning starters from last season, Timberwolves head coach Steve Jack isn’t entirely sure what he’s got. Seniors such as keeper Arash Bidelou, defender Kyle Olley and midfielder Essam Qasam, as well as Grade 11 defender Scott Tara, will be expected to provide leadership to a roster almost half comprised of freshmen and sophomores. “Our young players will get significant roles,” Jack said.

Five-year fixed rates to drop to 2.77%, then hold: BCREA Burnaby / Tri-Cities Five-year discounted mortgage interest rates are still falling and will drop to an average of 2.77 per cent by the end of the year, then hold firm for a full year, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association’s latest forecast. The average fixed five-year rate in 2019’s third quarter is expected to be 2.86 per cent, which is down from an average of 3.16 per cent in Q2. This is just an average, as some five-year fixed rates are currently available as low as 2.25 per cent.

currently available.”

VARIABLE RATES

The five-year qualifying rate is expected to hold firm at 5.19 per cent, having been reduced from 5.34 per cent earlier this year. Under current rules, this means mortgage applicants will still have to qualify at this rate to pass the B-20 “stress test” (or their contract rate plus two per cent, whichever is higher), despite contract mortgage rates (the amount they will actually pay each month) dropping.

The Bank of Canada’s overnight rate — which variable mortgages are based on — is expected to hold firm, although the BCREA did not rule out a decline if the Bank decides to follow the U.S. Federal Reserve’s lead.

A drop to an average of 2.77 per cent by the end of 2019 could see some discounted mortgage rate offerings go almost as low as two per cent.

Burnaby / Tri-Cities

BCREA said in its forecast that one key reason for declining rate was because “rising trade tensions between the United States and China fed growing fears of a global economic slowdown. Those fears pulled long-term Canadian interest rates low enough to invert the Canadian [bond] yield curve, a frequent — though not infallible — pre cursor to recession. As bond yields fell, the average fiveyear contract rate offered by Canadian lenders declined to an average of 2.86 per cent, with five-year fixed rates as low as 2.25 per cent

On future interest rate changes, the report authors concluded, “The baseline outlook for the Canadian economy is not signalling the need for further stimulus… Policymakers remain wary of reigniting a build-up in household debt, particularly after imposing policies designed to bring those debt burdens down.

Overall, the report’s outlook for the Canadian economy was one of very cautious optimism. “We expect the Canadian economy will post trend growth of about 1.8 per cent in 2020,

though significant downside risks remain due to elevated trade tensions and their consequent impact on exports and investment.”

Jean was predeceased by Fred, her husband of 35 years, and younger sister, Yvette. She is survived by her son, Ron (Jeannette); her grandchildren, Jennifer (Cassidy), Ryan (Marcella), and Jonathan; and great−grandchildren, Benjamin, Caitlin, Jacob, Gracie, and Aubrey. Jenny was born July 22, 1926, in Belgium, immigrating with her parents as a baby in 1928. She grew up in Surrey and spent her adult life in New Westminster, Burnaby, and Coquitlam, with decades of enjoyable summers at her cottage in Birch Bay, Washington. From an early age, she was self−taught in many creative pursuits − sewing, knitting, quilting, making a family dinner of perogies, and, in the summer, digging clams or catching crabs at the beach for a BBQ. Jean accompanied family on many excursions and saw the world on cruise ships with her travelling companion, Earl.
