Eye docs see to K kids’ vision healthFree eye exams and glasses, tooBy Diane Strandberg
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Parents of kindergar-ten children in School District 43 should pay
close attention to a letter that should have come in their kid’s backpacks this week alerting them to an important pro-gram that could save their child’s vision.
The letter, from SD43 and local eye doctors, of-fers free vision care test-
ing and, if problems are detected, free glasses, from participating eye doctors. (The list is on the back of the letter).
The offer, called the Eye See Eye Learn program, is good until Aug. 31 for this year’s crop of kindergarten
students and parents shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity in case their children are expe-riencing eye problems they haven’t complained about.
Dr. Lloyd Mah, a BC Association of Optometrists (BCOA)
director who is heading the program, said condi-tions such as farsighted-ness may make a child’s close-up vision blurry but not all will receive a referral when their eyes are screened at school.

SD43 needs more land on Burke
By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
School District 43 didn’t get all the property it needed in a land deal between Wesbild and the provincial government to build an elementary and middle school on Burke Mountain, it was revealed this week.
Wesbild’s land pur-chase was announced with much fanfare in March, with the com-pany and Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Doug Horne noting the district would be able to buy back land needed for schools in the future at 2014 prices.
But only two thirds of the property required to build the schools has been set aside for SD43 to purchase at current prices — four acres for an elementary school
and six for a middle school. The district still needs two more acres for the elementary school and three more for the middle school, trust-ees were told at a board of education meeting Tuesday.
That raised the ire of Port Moody Trustee Keith Watkins, who said the province should have simply set aside the en-tire portion for the dis-trict’s use instead of sell-ing it and requiring the district to buy it back later.

‘Hallway medicine’?By Diane Strandberg
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Hallway medicine has come to Eagle Ridge Hospital, according to a letter calling for a $20-million expansion and more operating funding for the Port Moody hospital to provide more beds and reduce inefficiencies that cost Fraser Health more money.

Planning for a new BurquitlamEvergreen-related building is trans-forming the area
By Janis WarrenThE Tri-CiTy NEws
Throughout Burquit-lam, construction is booming.
Hammers are pound-ing and saws are cutting in anticipation of the Evergreen Line, which is set to begin running along North and Clarke roads by summer 2016.
The hurried redevelop-ment of west Coquitlam has put pressure on the city to update its neighbourhood plan, a blueprint for what Burquitlam will look like in 25 years.
Now, with neighbour-hood plans recently adopted for Austin Heights, Maillardville and Burke Mountain’s Partington Creek, as well as the Northwest Burke Visioning Study underway this year, the municipality is set to launch Phase 1 of the Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan this spring.
The BLNP will be dif-ferent from the other neighbourhood plans as it will combine two distinct districts of west Coquitlam to focus on the new transit corridor.
Car l Johannsen , Coquitlam’s manager
of community planning, said updating the BLNP will take about two years to complete, coinciding with the opening of the Evergreen Line.
And it will involve many people to get input on how the area will ab-sorb 14,000 more resi-dents by 2040, he told the committee.
Community planner Ryan Perry said a 20-per-son public advisory group will be formed soon, made up of resi-dents from Burquitlam
and Lougheed resi-dents’ associations; busi-ness and commercial property owners; vol-unteers from the youth counc i l , Dogwood Pavilion Seniors’ Society, Success and Share; School District 43; the Urban Development Inst i tute ; and the Greater Vancouver H o m e b u i l d e r s Association. They will play key roles in the planning process and will be responsible for relaying information
back to their respected organizations.
Other stakeholders will be involved in the update of the BLNP, Perry said, including the adjoining cities of Burnaby, New Westminster and Port Moody. And, at the end of each of the three plan-ning phases, an open house will be held to gauge more community feedback; the first is ex-pected this fall.
Coun. Mae Reid said she doesn’t want the city to go through a sce-
nario that played out after the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan was adopted, when she said some residents didn’t understand the policy jargon or the future land uses.
Under the BLNP, the existing 20,000 residents — located in the gen-eral area west of Blue Mountain Street, north of Highway 1, east of North Road and south of Port Moody — will see high density around the Evergreen Line that will
slope away from the tran-sit corridor. The streets around the stations will be designed to be more pedestrian-friendly, with large sidewalks and a mix of retail, restaurants, services and office space.
Still, with the two neighbourhoods com-bined, some councillors said they wanted the characteristics of the sub-areas to be preserved as much as possible as resi-dents can be “culturally sensitive.” For example, those in Oakdale define
their established, single-family home area dif-ferently than others in condos and townhouses across North Road and Como Lake Avenue. And many homeown-ers in Lougheed aren’t happy they’re outside the Maillardville bound-ary now, Mayor Richard Stewart said.
Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said she’s not pleased B u r q u i t l a m a n d Lougheed will be amal-gamated for the new plan. She said Burquitlam residents can’t wait two years for the update and they feel being lumped in with Lougheed will slow the process.
“This is based on efficiency,” said Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of plan-ning and development. “There is benefit of look-ing at them together.”
City council is ex-pected to discuss the pro-posed scope and process of the BLNP on [email protected]
A section of Como Lake Avenue will be closed for three days beginning tomorrow (Saturday) to allow Evergreen Line contrac-tors to reposition a por-tion of the guideline that moved off its temporary supports last month.
Como Lake Avenue between Clarke Road and Elmwood Street will be closed from 8 a.m. to midnight Saturday and Sunday, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday.
Drivers will be de-toured during this period and pedestrians are en-couraged to follow traf-
fic control personnel and posted signs while con-struction is underway.
Access will be maintained for local residents. The de-tours are as follows:
• Drivers travelling west on Como Lake will be detoured left on to Clarke Road and then Smith Avenue. Drivers will then be directed north on North Road to continue traveling west on Como Lake.
• Drivers travelling east on Como Lake will be de-toured right on to North Road and then Smith. Drivers will then be di-rected onto Clarke north-bound to continue travel-ling east on Como Lake.
In an information bul-letin, the contractors EGRT Construction said there will likely be noise
from heavy machinery but efforts will be made to minimize it.
On March 14, a tem-porary spacer on the col-umns on the southwest side of the intersection failed, causing the beam to fall and rotate. Project manager Amanda Farrell said at the time the guide-way, which will eventu-ally hold the SkyTrain tracks, was not in any danger of falling onto the road but Como was im-mediately closed tempo-rarily in both directions.
Costs for the work will be paid by the [email protected]

Under the Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan update, the dividing line of Foster Avenue will disappear between the two areas.
PM to hold OCP hearing April 22
Port Moody’s official community plan is set for the next stage of public input after first and second readings were approved at Tuesday’s city council meeting.
On April 22, a public hearing will be held on the controversial document.
It has been a long road for the OCP, which began with a public input process in February 2012 and, during its passage through the city bureaucracy, brought a range of issues to light, including concerns about development on the waterfront, height of buildings around transit stations and the future of some neighbourhoods.
Councillors Zoe Royer and Rick Glumac op-posed first and second reading but it was passed with a majority of council approving it.

School District 43 trustees learned they will be making some tough calls to pare back an an-ticipated $13.4-million shortfall for next year’s budget after hearing pleas from youth work-ers, substitute teachers, librarian assistants and gifted students to save their programs and jobs.
On Tuesday, several groups presented at a board of education meet-ing and on Thursday (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline), several other delegations were expected to speak to SD43 trustees.
Youth workers, who suffered job losses during last year’s budget delib-erations, said their work is increasingly important as more students are di-agnosed with anxiety and other mental health disor-ders even in kindergarten. They talked about help-ing students with difficult home lives to graduate from school by providing them with two to three or more hours of counselling plus other support.
“In a goodbye letter,” said youth worker Erin Watkins, “Cindy told her
youth worker that they were like the mother she desperately needed. We have good endings like this all the time be-cause of the support stu-dents are getting in their schools. Please do not re-move youth workers, our kids need us.”
Penny Hook, a library assistant, said hours were reduced significantly last year and further cuts this year will make it dif-ficult to operate school libraries. “Libraries are threatened and will be in-creasingly under-utilized,” Hook said, noting that this is a time when school libraries are needed even more because of newly mandated provincial edu-cation goals.
Teachers on call said they cannot support themselves with substi-tute teaching and stu-
dents from a gifted pro-gram at Hillcrest middle school told trustees the program enables them to thrive.
A mentorship program for new teachers and teachers on call was also defended as a program that offers support, collab-oration and stability for educators who don’t have full-time contracts and
have to take on multiple posts through the [email protected]

“One third of the land is missing,” Watkins said. “The key player here is the provincial govern-ment and they hung us out to dry.”
But SD43’s secretary treasurer, Mark Ferrari, expressed confidence that more land will be secured as the district is currently in talks with Wesbild, the city of Coquitlam and the prov-ince.
“It’s definitely a good start,” Ferrari said, not-ing that the district has a 10-year window in which to pay for the land at its 2014 assessed value.
Horne also thinks the deal is a good one even though a third of the needed land is not yet secured because the district is getting all the services paid for, and he expressed little doubt the extra land can be ac-quired.
“I don’t see this as an issue at all,” Horne said, noting that Wesbild wants schools to be built for students on Burke Mountain and is, there-fore, motivated to make a deal for the remaining parcels of land.
Wesbild, which bought 370 acres of provincial land on Burke Mountain, including the land now set aside for the two
schools, has already of-fered to cover all of the development costs for the schools, which in-clude a long list of ame-nities, such as sidewalks, curbs, street pavement and boulevards, as well as sanitary and storm sewers, drains, pipes, gas, electric and water systems.
Horne also said the district’s requirement for school land exceeds that of the provincial govern-ment.
“It’s a very good deal for us and, if we tried to service it ourselves, it would cost a lot more than the deal that was struck,” the MLA said. “Wesbild is a very good corporate citizen and I don’t see any problem in obtaining the sites for the school as we move forward.”
But for Watkins, the district’s past troubles in acquiring land for
schools in new develop-ments was top of mind. He told his fellow trust-ees he’s worried the district might be on the
hook for paying for the remaining parcels at market prices three or four times the value of the raw land costs.
“They, the province, could have said: Here are the two sites.”
But according to Horne, the current deal provides the district with more flexibility in deter-mining the exact school locations based on the community’s needs.
Meanwhile, SD43 still working behind the scenes on a land assem-bly for the new Smiling Cr eek e l ementary school that will be the first built amongst new development on Burke [email protected]

See you at Coquitlam Centre,
The letter, by Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac to B.C.’s assistant deputy finance minister, Chris Brown, says ERH is chroni-cally underfunded, result-ing in more people being treated in hallways, patient transfers to other regional hospitals and other cost pressures.
According to the letter, which Port Moody coun-cil unanimously endorsed Tuesday, only 168 beds are funded for a hospital built for 200 beds but, on aver-age, 12 to 30 “extra beds are used in the hospital hall-ways on a monthly basis and are classified as ‘over capacity/unbudgeted.’”
As well, the emergency room was built to serve 20,000 patients annually but is currently serving 50,000.
Glumac said the let-ter is based on informa-tion gleaned from discus-sions with the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation and reflect concerns ERH isn’t able to meet the needs of Tri-City residents.
But the head of Eagle Ridge Hospital says Fraser Health is already looking at redeveloping its emer-gency room to meet in-creasing demand and is looking at other measures to reduce pressures, such as opening more residen-tial care beds for the el-derly in the Tri-Cities.
Valerie Spurrell, ERH executive director, said in
a statement that she wel-comes the “support the community shows us” and is developing a plan for the community to address ongoing needs. As well, she said the hospital isn’t full but has enough acute care capacity so that “only in rare cases do we need to use alternate areas of care.”
According to Glumac, who represents Port Moody on the Fraser Health Municipal Advisory Council, the letter is meant to spur the provincial gov-ernment to boost funding. He told PoMo council he’s hoping “that we can actu-ally get them to listen to this request and consider ways to operate more effi-ciently in the Fraser Health region.”
Still, some councillors said they are concerned about the letter.
Councillors Diana Dilworth and Gerry Nuttall said they’re worried Glumac had either over-stepped his authority or that the information wasn’t
accurate, although their colleague assured them that he got the information from reliable sources on the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation.
The letter lists several ways Fraser Health could save money if it gave more funding to ERH to provide more beds, such as when Royal Columbian Hospital is over capacity and sends patients on a short-term basis to ERH. According to the letter, opening beds for such temporary measures incurs overtime and other costs.
The letter also notes that the population of the Tri-Cities is set to grow 50% in 20 years and needs a larger hospital with ser-vices that other hospitals provide, such as a mater-nity ward and pediatric observation beds.
“Investing a smaller amount of money in Eagle Ridge Hospital in the shorter term will result in much-needed improve-ment in health care to the areas served by both hos-
pitals,” the letter states.Instead, ERH is trans-
ferring many of its acute care patients — more than 500 over two years — to Burnaby, Surrey Memorial and Abbotsford Regional hospitals. “These patient transfers come at a huge cost to the province and can be saved by diverting these funds to the expan-sion of surgical hours of operation at Eagle Ridge Hospital,” the letter further states.
Other issues, include a shortage of respiratory services and monitored care beds are also men-tioned.
The Ministry of Health’s ongoing operational re-view of Fraser Health is supposed to be ready at the end of May, a spokes-person said. Meanwhile, the province has replaced Fraser Health board chair David Mitchell with Wynne Powell, the long-time chair of the Provincial Health Services [email protected]

PoMo backs cottage dwellersBy Diane Strandberg
The Tri-CiTy news
Port Moody council gave Belcarra Regional Park cabin dwellers some hope Tuesday when it agreed to look further into the heritage aspect of seven cottages in the regional park.
The cottages are slated for demolition to make way for an expanded pic-nic area but councillors approved a statement of significance for the cot-tages, saying they rep-resent a “bygone way of life.”
“Designating these cottages on our heritage register is not as much about the buildings as it is about preserving a lifestyle that used to be common in this area,”
said Coun. Gerry Nuttall, who suggested Metro Vancouver may be over-estimating the cost of restoring the buildings to justify knocking them down.
Eight people are cur-rently renting the cabins at $500 a month, although they are responsible for maintenance and upkeep. The residents have lived there for many years,
some since the 1960s, and say the area has historical significance and should be retained.
Council appears to have sided with the rent-ers, voting to support the draft Belcarra South Cottages Statement of Significance and add these properties to the city’s heritage register, after getting a review from a heritage consul-tant.
As well, city staff will work with Metro Vancouver on explor-ing the heritage poten-tial of the site. However, in October, the Metro Vancouver board ap-proved the original plan to demolish the cabins and expand the park, so Port Moody’s efforts may be a long shot.
Meanwhile, another heritage heavyweight has come to the aid of the cabin dwellers. Michael Kluckner, a for-mer Heritage Canada chair and author of books such as Vanishing Vancouver, said in an email to councillors the community could be a Belcarra Regional Park feature as a self-man-aged, historic commu-nity.
“The loss of this cot-tage community will be irreversible,” Kluckner wrote. “Its replacement by more picnic area will diminish Belcarra as a historic teaching land-scape and create only a minuscule improvement in the public recreation component of the park.”[email protected]

There has been a lot of buzz lately about density. As towers soar to new heights
in Coquitlam Town Centre, Austin Heights, Port Moody, Metrotown, Brentwood and Downtown New Westminster, there has been much talk about how our cities are changing.
In Burnaby, suburban malls are evolving into urban town centres. Upcoming changes at Brentwood, in particular, will shift that neighbourhood’s evolution into high gear, and Lougheed is poised to follow.
The shift to high density results in changes, of course: lost views, changes to the character of neighbourhoods.
And there’s much to debate along the way. How high is too high? How dense too dense? Are developers doling out enough cash to fund the parks and daycares these new residents will require?
Good questions.But as a concept, density in its best form —
smart growth — is changing the world for the better. And we’re lucky to have a front-row seat.
Vancouver is becoming the City of the Future. Its dense, livable downtown — captured in the term “Vancouverism” — is the envy of city planners the world over.
A dense, well-designed city leads with great social spaces makes it easier to lead a happy, healthy, earth-friendly life. And Vancouver is the poster child for the campaign.
Thankfully, its neighbours aren’t far behind.It’s astounding how many positive impacts
come from building smart, compact cities.From an economic perspective, dense cities
are magnets. Lively, active streets are where people want to be. We’re drawn to energetic cities that are walkable, well-served by transit with a mix of people.
Employers want to set up offices in these vibrant cities. Tourists love to visit. Go to Dallas-Fort Worth or New York? Depends — do you want sprawl or to have it all?
Then there’s health, both physical and mental. The larger population base supports grocery stores, retail and restaurants nearby. Complemented by sidewalks, paths and well-established bike routes, people have healthy options to get to work and around town. Fewer car trips means more exercise, fewer hours in traffic means we’re fitter and mellower.
In a nutshell, we’re building cities for people again, not cars.
In his book The Happy City, Charles Montgomery says it well: “Why would travel-ling more slowly and using more effort offer more satisfaction than driving? Part of the answer exists in basic human physiology. We were born to move. Immobility is to the human body what rust is to the classic car. Stop mov-ing long enough and your muscles will atrophy. Bones will weaken. Blood will clot. You will find it harder to concentrate and solve problems. Immobility is not merely a state closer to death, it hastens it.”
And let’s not forget the impact on the pock-etbook. In downtown Vancouver these days, it’s
common to find residents who don’t own a car. My friend at the edge of Gastown almost never drives. New developments downtown need to provide fewer parking spaces.
Since 2006, vehicle trips into Vancouver’s core have actually dropped more than 20% even as population has grown.
For every person who opts not to have a car, they save about $10,000 annually on vehicle costs.
And in the larger sense, of course, it’s good for the Earth.
Tighter cities, fewer cars and more transit are very green.
With luck, Vancouver’s approach will get exported around the world. Meantime, locally, Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam and Port Moody are next in line.
Some say things are getting too dense, too fast. Me, I think we can move faster. As long as we’re smart about how we densify, it’s all good.

MLA & NDPeace■ WHAT WE THINK:
Many in the Tri-Cities who support popular Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth will be disappointed he dropped out of the BC NDP
leadership race.Farnworth brings a lot to the table: energy, experi-
ence, a sharp wit, and dedication to both NDP values and public service. But by bowing out early, after Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan fielded a large contingency of MLA supporters — including some prominent Tri-City NDPers — Farnworth avoids a divisive battle and gives the opposition party a better chance at getting its act together before the next election.
It’s possible someone could announce their attentions to avoid giving Horgan the crown but it’s not likely at this stage. Better to let the NDP provincial council de-clare a leader in time for a morale-boosting rally at the September party convention.
The question now is: Does Horgan have the staying power to stick it out as opposition leader?
A lot can happen between now and May 9, 2017.
QQQthe THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Do you agree with PoCo MLA Mike Farnworth’s decision to pull out of the NDP leadership race?
LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:Is chronic underfunding by the pro-vincial government at the heart of School District 43’s money woes?

TRI-CITYTRI-CITY leTTeRsKeep pipe out of parkThe Editor,
Re. “Pipeline foes aim to protect local park” (The Tri-City News, April 2).
It was wonderful to see so many concerned citizens turnout at Kinder Morgan’s open house last week to inform them-selves about the plan to use a 1 km strip of land at Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam for assembly of its pipeline that will cross the Fraser River.
It provides the oppor-tunity for all Tri-City resi-dents to consider what contributes to a good quality of life within our communities. At the top of that list for me and my family is our parks. The Lower Mainland’s urban areas that are appealing, livable and beautiful have found a good balance be-tween parks and develop-ment.
The Tri-Cities have some of the most im-pressive parkland in Metro Vancouver, in-cluding the Riverview Hospital grounds and Colony Farm Regional Park. Unfortunately, and
once again, we must fight to keep our parks public. With the recent announcement that U.S.-based Kinder Morgan plans to use Colony Farm Regional Park as a place to assemble its pipeline, we risk losing our park to corporate profit.
Our parks belong to the people and should never be considered for such industrial uses. Parks give families the opportunity to recreate, reduce stress levels and keep our communities healthy and livable. Any realtor would confirm that parks, trails, and salmon-bearing creeks increase property value.
Are our children at risk of losing their vital connection to nature if we continue to erode our parks bit by bit? Do any of us actually support pipeline construction at Colony Farm and Bill 4 that opens the door to in-dustrial development of
our provincial parks?I urge those who care
about our parks to speak out now, speak out loudly to keep our parks public.Laura Dupont, Port Coquitlam
‘SHOCKING’The Editor,
It was truly shocking to hear that Kinder Morgan is proposing to assemble a pipeline in Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam. The company claims the work will not disturb the public recre-ation area, which clearly indicates how wrongly KM understands nature conservation and the park.
The park is not just for public recreation but heavily serves our ever decreasing wildlife. Any disturbance to any part of the park will seriously affect wildlife.
Just one of the latest di-sasters caused by human activities around the Colony Farm is the loss
of the breeding colony of the great blue heron caused by the construc-tion of the Port Mann Bridge. Constant, heavy noises at the construction site caused serious distur-bances and eventual loss of the colony. There used to be a hundred breeding pairs there, the largest colony in the Fraser Valley, but after the construction started, they abandoned the nesting site.
Colony Farm Regional Park is ever threatened in our region due to the pressure of human activi-ties but still supports good number of important migratory birds such as the Lazuli bunting, moun-tain bluebird, eastern kingbird, purple martin, Swainson’s hawk, barn swallow and barn owl, plus many other creatures that support the lives of our important wildlife.
Let us not be fooled by Kinder Morgan, with its advertising stating it is committed to protect the environment, without studying the importance of all wildlife. Kiyoshi Takahashi, Coquitlam

On Saturday, April 26, children and families can be stream stewards for a day as they take part in the release of thou-sands of salmon smolts into Hyde Creek in Port Coquitlam.
For the past 18 months, Hyde Creek Watershed Society mem-bers have been raising these coho from eggs through to the fry and smolt stage. Now, the tiny fish are ready to travel to the ocean.
Participants in the release will be asked to help the salmon on their journey by carrying doz-ens of them in a bucket from the hatchery to the creek. The event will also be a chance to learn more about salmon, their importance to the ecosystem and their life cycle. There will be tours of the education centre, exhibits and a fundrais-ing hot dog barbecue.
The eighth annual event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hyde Creek Education Centre and
Hatchery, 3636 Coast Meridian Rd. Parking will be available at Hyde Creek rec centre on Laurier Avenue, a short walk west along the Traboulay PoCo Trail to the hatchery.

Fire ant invasion sparks call for soil moving controlsBy Jeff Nagel
Black Press
A researcher tracking the spread of European fire ants says the tiny, stinging pests have likely burrowed into most communities in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island.
Thompson Rivers University biology profes-sor Robert Higgins said he has positively identified fire ants in Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby, Vancouver, North Vancouver, Victoria, Oak
Bay and Courtenay.They were first identi-
fied in 2010 in the District of North Vancouver and can render parks unusable for purposes like picnick-ing, camping and lounging
on the grass.“They’re coming in on
landscaping plants and soil that have been shipped from out east,” Higgins said. “And now that they’re es-tablished here, we’re mov-ing them around internally.”
He’s urging anyone doing landscaping to re-ject any plants or soil with ants of any kind on them to minimize the risk of further spread.
And Higgins says the province should explore options to regulate the movement of soil from property infested with fire
ants. He’s not predicting whether the species can be eradicated, but said the top priority is keeping them new neighbourhoods from being colonized.
Jennifer Grenz, de-velopment and projects manager for the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver, says European fire ants pose a signifi-cant health and safety risk worse than other inva-sive pests, such as chafer beetles, which merely ruin lawns aesthetically.
Fire ants are ultra-sensi-tive to ground movement
and quickly swarm people and pets that walk nearby.
“We’ve been in situa-tions where it looks like a volcano of ants erupting out of the ground,” Grenz said. “They bite you and they hang on and then they bite you multiple times. By the time you notice some-thing on you, you’ve prob-ably got many.”
Large numbers of stings can lead to severe medical reactions, especially in in-fants, neurologically com-promised people and the elderly.
“This isn’t just another
invasive species in my mind.”
A residential infestation hurts property values, she said, adding homeown-ers react in some cases by decking over their entire yard to reclaim some use of it.
Dogs can get badly stung, Grenz said, and she’s concerned ground-nesting birds may also be-come victims as fire ants spread.
Grenz said digging up ant nests in winter, when they’re more compact, coupled with the spread of
diatomaceous earth, shows some promise in eliminat-ing fire ants.
Higgins is also trying to lure ant colonies to relocate into plastic pipe traps.
Grenz would like to con-duct a Metro regional sur-vey to better gauge where fire ants are entrenched.
But she also wants the province to pursue legisla-tion to stop ant-infested soil dug up at contaminated de-velopment sites from being moved to other properties.

That’s because chil-dren with this condition can still see but may have trouble concen-trating or get eye strain headaches because they have to use specific eye muscles to help them focus, Mah said.
And when farsighted-ness, or hyperopia, goes undetected, it can lead to learning problems and even diagnoses of ADD and ADHD. In fact, ac-cording to May, 60% of all children with learning disabilities have an un-identified vision problem, commonly hyperopia.
As well, a thorough eye exam may detect other childhood vision problems, such as am-blyopia, in which one eye over-compensates for another, that could lead to blindness if not cor-rected.
“We want to provide the gold standard of eye care to Tri-Cities kinder-garten children,” Mah said.
The pilot program is modelled on a similar program in Alberta and
Mah said the BCOA wanted to bring it to this province in the hopes of catching childhood vision problems early be-fore they become lifelong challenges and obstacles to education, jobs and healthy lifestyles.
“A lot of these condi-tions go undetected because a child can’t tell you what’s wrong,” Mah said.
Last year, for example, Mah detected abnor-
mal swelling in the eye of a six-year-old dur-ing an eye exam in his Coquitlam office. After he referred the child to a neurosurgeon, it turned out the child had a brain tumour and had to have brain surgery two days later, from which the child is still recovering.
Participating doctors will do the eye exam for the kindergarten student with no cost to the fam-ily, including those with-
out MSP, and prescribe and provide the appro-priate eyewear. Three sponsors have come on board to support the program.
Parents simply need to sign the letter with their child’s birthdate and per-sonal health number. No means testing is required to participate, Mah said, adding, “We want to eliminate barriers to eye health.”[email protected]

additi onal cost to taxpayers (versus an incinerator which would cost $500 million for constructi on alone, and require a signifi cant increase in taxes for residents and businesses)
• Creates more local jobs and potenti al for spin-off economies in BC-based remanufacturing of recycled material
• Zero emissions, clean and green• Innovati ve and fl exible, able
to support ongoing progress towards zero waste.
NextUse Recycling Ltd. is an affi liate of Belkorp Environmental Services Inc., a private BC company based in Vancouver with a long history in recycling, composti ng, safe disposal and environmental service businesses that span across the broad sector of waste management.
The NextUse facility will allow us to ‘break open the garbage bag’ and recover and recycle more than half of what is left in garbage aft er people have sorted recyclables themselves, boosti ng the regional recycling rate even higher.
Technical equipment used to process the waste, extract and sort recyclables is advanced, effi cient and green. (San Jose, CA)
COQUITLAM, BC - The City of Coquitlam has been chosen as the site of an advanced $30 million facility that will take recycling to the next level and reduce the need for a second waste incinerator, and avoidable impacts on taxes and air quality.
While the proposed facility has the support of municipal elected offi cials, it awaits the go ahead from Metro Vancouver. If approved, NextUse could handle more than a quarter of Metro Vancouver’s garbage and drasti cally reduce the amount of waste that has to be buried in landfi lls or burned in incinerators. While a Canadian fi rst, similar faciliti es have been operati ng successfully for years in California and other U.S. jurisdicti ons where air quality is a priority.
“It’s hard to believe but nearly half of the garbage now going to landfi ll or incinerati on is made up of valuable materials like food scraps, recyclable plasti c, paper and metals,” said Russ Black, Vice-President of Corporate Development for NextUse Recycling, the company proposing to build and operate the plant.
“This plant will allow us to ‘break open the garbage bag’ and recover and recycle more than half of what’s left in the garbage, boosti ng the regional recycling rate even higher. Because the plant is completely enclosed, nearby residents can breathe easy knowing there’ll be no negati ve impacts on the community.”
More jobs, less costBlack added that the project will create about 80 clean jobs and, unlike proposed incinerators, will be built with private capital and operated at no increased cost to taxpayers.
“Material recovered at NextUse could be reused in the region for manufacturing new products from recycled material—spin-off benefi ts that represent new opportuniti es for an expanding green economy in BC.”
Residents have spokenDuring public consultati ons for its regional plan, Metro Vancouver heard loud and clear from residents that their top prioriti es are reducing waste and maximizing material recovery and recycling.
“This project will do both those things and is in line with our region’s commitment to diverti ng as much of our recyclables as possible out of the waste stream,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart.
“This proposal brings advanced waste-separati on technologies that will help the Tri-Citi es and Metro Vancouver maintain leadership in waste diversion and recycling, while also providing economic benefi ts to our region.”
Offi cials say the facility, which would establish Coquitlam and BC as leaders in the advanced material recovery sector, could be up and running within two years of receiving licence approval from Metro Vancouver.
The Metro Vancouver licencing process will include public noti fi cati on of the applicati on which will be published in the local paper in the coming weeks.
In the meanti me, NextUse is inviti ng residents to contact the company directly with any questi ons or concerns. The company can be reached at [email protected].
The NextUse facility would be fully enclosed and employ innovati ve technologies. (Bristol, England) Lobby of proposed NextUse facility for Coquitlam.

DOES YOUR BATHROOM
NEED A FACELIFT?
Griffin Renovations has been serving the Tri-City area for over 25 years. Bringing years of experience with him, Randy Griffin excels at all types of bathroom renovations. His specialty is the installation of custom formed & fitted bathwalls. A single sheet of laminate is custom contoured to the exact measurement of your wall and tub. A bead of silicone around the tub and outer edges, along with vinyl capping provides a waterproof seal, guaranteed against leaks. The result is a low maintenance tub enclosure that with just a wipe keeps sparkling clean. These walls are available in a wide variety of colours and patterns and are very low maintenance. Just think, no more grout to scrub and no mold or mildew!

Ford has done an excellent job of using its worldwide expertise to bring some very practical, yet fun to drive, small cars to North America. Using Europeans to build the Ford Focus and Fiesta for a worldwide market en-abled the manufacturer to bring these superb handling cars virtually unchanged to our shores. On top of that, Ford is also selling their sportiest ST versions of both these cars. The Focus ST was introduced last year and this year we get the Fiesta ST “hot hatch”. I’ve been a huge fan of the Fiesta. In fact, I prefer it to the bigger Focus, it is a perfect city runabout with go-cart like handling and a stylish little package. Looks: For 2014, all Fiesta models get a minor facelift with a new front grille and headlights. The ST is easy to spot because of the black honeycomb grille with an ST badge, bigger alloy wheels, a rear spoiler hanging over the rear window, a bigger rear air diffuser with twin exhaust tips and blacked out trim around the windows. The ST looks like it means business. There are two exterior options that might be worth the money. Upgraded paint colours like ‘Molten Orange’ or ‘Green Envy Metallic’ cost $400 and the smoked grey wheels with red brake calipers cost $500 more. The base ST at $24,999 comes very well equipped and is ready to cause some trouble.
Inside: The first thing that pops right out on the ST interior are the two heavily bolstered Recaro sports seats. These are not meant for big people, you just won’t fit. They are snug and supportive but lack some simple, yet important ad-justments. The front of the seat sits much higher than the back so your backside is very low with your knees pointing up. This produces a sporty feel initially but on longer trips, the lack of adjustment prevents the driver from being able to stretch their legs. The dash has been updated to include a MyFord Touch screen for radio, phone, navigation and climate functions. The screen is rather small and far away from the driver, which makes accessing the small, virtual buttons on the screen a challenge. Howev-er, it does look much better than the older Fiesta dash. The ST comes standard with very powerful front seat
heaters, automatic climate control, a fat leather steer-ing wheel with redundant radio controls and a leather
covered manual shifter. The back seat has always been tight in the Fiesta; this is perfect for a single person
or couple, not the best for a family.Drive: In an era of cars that almost drive them-selves, the Fiesta ST is a throwback to a time when the driver felt connected to the machine. The suspen-sion is much firmer than the regular Fiesta, almost harsh over bumpy roads but the feedback to the driver through the tight steering ratio, firm chassis and the grippy Recaro seats is su-perb. The turbocharged, di-rect injection 1,6L Ecoboost engine pumps out 197hp. Only sold with a super-slick manual transmission that
shifts with no effort at all and the clutch is precise.In such a small car, this engine lets the driver do pretty much anything at will. Want to pass on the highway? No problem. Want to scoot away from a traffic light? No effort at all. This really is a car that does everything very well, including getting good fuel economy when the throttle is used lightly: using only 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. Verdict: At $24,999, the price might seem a bit steep for a subcompact car but this little machine
comes almost fully loaded for that price. The options available are not “must have” items so the price can be kept in check. This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, deliver-ing great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles. The ST just delivers much bigger smiles.

Ojai, CA. — Four-time World Rally Champion (WRC), Tommi Mäkinen, is behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the middle of nowhere, California.I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back.The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a champion because he looks good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right?I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cult-like following even better.Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference. Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth gen-eration STI was to create a vehicle that behaves as the drivers expects it to. Mission accomplished.Though I didn’t even come
close to Tommi’s perfor-mance, that wasn’t my goal.The goal was to experience how docile yet potent Sub-aru’s famed sedan took to the high speeds and corners of the club track.It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test. Without getting too deep into the engineering, here are the top three take-home points of this incredible vehicle.One: the increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. The result? A more predictable handling sedan that isn’t easily irked and stays firmly planted to the ground. Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 percent less body roll than before...

The all-new 2015 Ford F150 turned some heads at the Vancouver International Auto show including mine.Here’s close look at what’s new and different. I think the first thing that impress-es is the new styling. The LED back lit headlights are a real stand out and the grille is a three-bar travel-ing all the way down to the bumper, very nice.Next noteworthy change is the super lightweight military grade aluminum alloy body, weighing almost 318 kg less than the previous model. We saw glimpses of this with Ford’s concept truck, the Atlas, but did not expect it to become reality so soon. No waste of materials building this new truck. Any unused alumi-num during manufacture is reclaimed.When it goes on sale late this year, there will be five trims available: XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch. Chrome appearance packages are available with them all. Monochromatic sport appearance packages are available with all but the King. Optional power running boards drop down into position only when the doors are opened and remain tight against the body.Some of the safety concerns expressed around driving a pickup are addressed with the use of sensors in the advanced personal safety system that control de-ployment of the dual stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, and side canopy air bags. Advance-Trac and roll stability control comes stan-dard. MyKey technology allows you to program the ignition keys with remind-ers to drive at appropriate speeds, limit the volume on audio system, limiting the vehicles top speed, muting the audio system until the front seatbelts are fastened.There are second-row in-flatable safety belts, which work like a traditional belt but include a tubular airbag that inflates in the event of a crash and distributes the force of the impact across a wider area of the passen-ger’s chestA feature called Curve con-trol, automatically provides more aggressive four-wheel braking when the truck is going into a corner too fast.There are host of safety systems. Adaptive cruise control, allows drivers to set a cruising speed and use radar technology to monitor traffic ahead and maintain a safe distance between vehicles. The lane keeping
system is designed to help avert unintentional drifting of the vehicle outside the intended driving lane. It automatically detects the left or right-hand road lane markings using a camera mounted between the windshield and interior rear-view mirror. The Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert uses radar hidden in the taillights to detect a
vehicle entering a driver’s blind spot while driving or backing up.Can’t believe I’ve got this far talking about a truck without mentioning power! - One of the engine choices is a new 2.7L EcoBoost engine that has undergone more than 16 million kilo-metres of testing. The other motors are the new 3.5L V6 EcoBoost that combines the efficiency of twin indepen-dent variable camshaft tim-ing, and flex fuel capabili-ties, a 3.5L EcoBoost engine, which we are familiar with
and a 5.0L V8.The trucks equipped with EcoBoost engines will ben-efit from standard Active Grille Shutters. Active Grille Shutters stay open when extra engine cooling is needed, such as during low-speed stop-and-go driving or while working in hot weather. They automatically close to reduce aerodynam-ic drag at cruising speed.Fuel economy numbers and prices should be released [email protected]

“I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy to be safe.”
Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew.I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “fl ip” cars on the side.And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius.When I put it up for sale, I fi bbed. But only a little bit.“Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.”Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong!He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada.I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style.He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I
gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe.He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*”meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he fi gures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low.But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.
*Rebuilt - This status is assigned to “salvage” vehicles after they have been repaired and have passed inspection. Vehicle status alone does not fully describe a vehicle’s mechanical condition or damage history. This applies to RVs, motorcycles, cars and trucks.
Confessions of a Curber
Pipeline construction in a park? That makes no sense
Let me be clear: I do not support proj-ects that propose
to accelerate tar sand extraction simply to ship diluted bitumen overseas for commercial profit. I am firmly in the camp of those who are concerned about the state of the world we will pass on to future generations be-cause of the devastating changes that will come from fossil-fuel induced climate change.
But I think my blan-ket opposition to such projects does not cloud my judgment that con-struction of a pipeline in a protected park is also wrong regardless of my views on the overall drawbacks of this proj-ect.
Kinder Morgan is pro-posing to use a signifi-cant portion of Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam as a construc-tion site to assemble the length of pipe that will then be drawn under the Fraser River. A road will have to be built beside this construction zone to allow truck traffic and that zone runs in a long, curved line through several fields, crosses Colony Farm Road and intrudes into a hedge-row planted as habitat compensation for airport construction several years ago.
This pipeline will deliver diluted bitumen from Alberta to the Westridge Terminals on Burrard Inlet, from which it will be shipped to markets overseas. This project is currently the subject of a hearing being conducted by the National Energy Board. When, under harsh new regulations, applications for the public to par-ticipate in this hearing closed in February, no one knew that Colony Farm Park would be pro-posed as a construction zone. Many people feel there is something inher-ently unfair about the elimination of opportuni-ties to express concerns prior to full disclosure of project details.
It is also true that some people, such as en-gineers, tend to see parks as simply open spaces, empty of buildings and, therefore, I suppose, ready and available for their use. In fact, I have heard Kinder Morgan staff use just such terms to describe wildlife cor-ridors along the Brunette River Greenway. “But, there’s nothing there,”
sputtered one of their staff when I expressed concerns about impacts, adding, “Well, just some trees” as an afterthought.
This is why it is espe-cially hard to impress upon such people why “open” fields, which lack even trees, are actually full of wildlife, not to mention agricultural potential. The fields at Colony Farm that Kinder Morgan proposes for its temporary use — for an unspecific period of time — are on the Coquitlam side of the river and lie mostly on the south-west side of Colony Farm Road. In addition to these fields, Kinder Morgan also proposes to use a field that belongs to the Forensic Psychiatric Institute, where the pipe-line will actually go un-derground. This field, like all the fields at Colony Farm Regional Park, lies within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Even with the changes currently
under consideration for the ALR, an industrial construction project is not an allowed use of fertile fields.
When I asked how soil compaction (which destroys fertility) from truck traffic could pos-sibly be avoided, I was assured the laying of geotextile fabric would do the trick. How a thin layer of plastic could possibly prevent heavy trucks from compacting the soil defies my under-standing. Nor am I am sure the engineers have noticed all the ponding of water that occurs in some of these fields. As the gardeners at Colony Farm can tell you, wait-ing for the soils to dry out each spring is a test to anyone’s patience.
Colony Farm Regional Park is also a haven for wildlife. To date, more than 200 species of birds have been identified as relying mainly on the open fields the park of-
fers as habitat and many of these species are unusual for the Lower Mainland. They tend to be grassland species more commonly found in the Interior but ones that formerly relied on the considerable amount of such habitat once found where the Fraser River flows into the Salish Sea. One of these birds is the beautiful Lazuli bunting, whose favourite nesting sites are right in the area proposed to become a pipeline construction zone.
As it has been some time since these fields were used for agricul-ture, they have now converted naturally into a type of valuable habitat called “old field.” The tall grasses in these fields provide ideal habitat for meadow mice and voles. In turn, these small mammals attract raptors, which prey upon them. Thus, Colony Farm of-fers outstanding viewing opportunities for hawks, owls and eagles. Several species at risk, including barn owls, short-eared owls and great blue her-ons feed on the voles in these fields. Regardless of the season, the old field habitat at Colony Farm Regional Park is in continual use by dozens of wildlife species.
A responsible corpo-ration should be doing all that it can to respect park boundaries, protect biodiversity and preserve the agricultural capabil-ity of farm fields. To my mind, Kinder Morgan is failing on all three counts — and this doesn’t even include the impacts this project will have through increased greenhouse gas emissions.

What happens after an oil spill in B.C.?
Olive oil may be on the table but a different type of oil will be the topic at the next Tri-City Greendrinks meet-up next week in Coquitlam.
BC SPCA’s chief scientific officer, Sara Dubois and a longtime Tri-City wildlife advocate, Jane Thomsing, will be guest speakers next Thursday at Pasta Polo restaurant. The casual gathering, which starts at 6:30 p.m., is an opportunity to learn about oiled wildlife response and what happens to wildlife in the event of a spill.
“There is a serious lack of resources and leg-islation in British Columbia for oiled wildlife response,” Thomsing said in a Greendrinks press release. “Until the inadequacies are addressed, we can expect to see a significant number of wild-life casualties and suffering in the event of a spill.”
According to the release, as the proposed volume of oil to be transported by tankers along the B.C. coastline is increasing, oiled wildlife response planning needs to be equally robust for terrestrial and marine environments.
The April 17 gathering is free to attend and food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Intermediate Care for Seniors
Laps translated into trans-Pacific journey for aTri-Cities couple
CONTRIBUTED
Local resident Ken Cashion recently traveled to New
Zealand as a swim ambassador for Port Coquitlam’s Hyde Creek rec centre. He and his wife went bearing small gifts from PoCo to the Alpine Aqualand in Queenstown.
The story starts back in winter 2011, when Hyde Creek posted a challenge called Swim Across the Pacific, invit-ing any swimmers to participate in this epic workout.
Former Hyde Creek recreation program assistant Yue-Ching Cheng had a Canadian friend working at a pool in Queenstown, at the southern tip of New Zealand. Together, they planned a swim exchange between their two pools.
The New Zealand swimmers started in Queenstown and “swam” their way to Canada while the PoCo swim-mers started here and “swam” towards Hawaii, Samoa and Fiji before finally finishing at the South Island of New Zealand. Participants logged the distance they swam, with each length of the pool representing 1 km of the Swim Across the Pacific. By the time swimmers had com-pleted the event, they had logged more than 14,600 lengths and swam a distance of 365 km.
Each pool sent gifts to be awarded to the swim-mers who completed this epic workout. The Queenstown aquatic director sent 20 pendants made from New Zealand greenstone jade in the shape of a Maori fishing hook. Hyde Creek sent
20 city of PoCo water bottles to New Zealand.
When Port Coquitlam swimmers finished the Swim the Pacific chal-lenge, they were awarded with the pendant.
Cashion was the first to earn his pendant be-cause, that winter, he was training for the Ironman triathlon in Penticton. He kept it a secret, however, and later gave it to his wife, Ev, for her birthday.
In January of this year, prior to starting their travels to both the North and South islands of New Zealand, Ev Cashion had the idea of emailing the Queenstown pool. She thought it would be amazing to thank the aquatic director in per-son and have a swim in their pool.
She expected the small community of Queenstown (population less than 20,000) would have only one commu-
nity pool. Her search results revealed two indoor and three outdoor pools. After numerous in-quiries, she emailed the Alpine Aqualand pool and promptly received an invitation for a visit from their aquatic man-agers, Rachelle Green and Patrick Healy.
This story for the Cashions has nuances of Middle Earth and Lord of the Rings — the movies were filmed in N.Z. — as the ring had to be returned to its point of origin. “This ‘Middle Earth’ pendant crossed the Pacific Ocean to Port Coquitlam, and the idea of making a journey back to where it was cre-ated captivated my imag-ination,” says Ev Cashion. “We had planned the trip for a few months and just days before leaving, I saw my pendant and the idea took shape.”
They had an open invitation to visit Alpine
Aqualand whenever they arrived on the South Island and they were warmly received by both aquatic directors, who were delighted to see one of their locally made pendants return to the island of its origin.
“Our quest was ac-complished,” Ev says, and the couple cel-ebrated with a swim in the salt water pool.
The directors told them some of their local swimmers who did the Swim Across the Pacific were also triathletes and, as a spin-off, a new swim group was started.
“The swim exchange idea is very motivating” says Ken Cashion, “and I was given a stack of free Aqualand passes to deliver to Hyde Creek recreation centre. If an-other swim exchange is planned, these passes can be the extra bonus for anyone who hopes to travel to New Zealand.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
By Kerry Vital
Polygon Homes is bringing something brand-new to Richmond with Avanti, a three-tower community with an urban park.
“Th e Avanti community is located in one of the best locations in the City of Richmond,” says Polygon Homes president and CEO Neil Chrystal. “Situated just one block east of the Aberdeen Canada Line Station, Avanti residents will be
steps away from hundreds of services, shops and restaurants including Aberdeen Centre and T&T Supermarket.”
Th e fi rst phase includes Richmond’s fi rst Flatiron design building, a 15-storey tower with 164 one- and two-bedroom homes. Many of the homes will off er a panoramic view of the city, urban park or the North Shore mountains.
Among the features in the homes will be engineered stone countertops, glass-tile backsplashes, fl at-panel cabinetry and warm wood-style laminate fl ooring.
Th e adjacent urban park is one of the best amenities at Avanti.
“Th e park will have a public plaza for live performances, an interactive walking path, green space and luminous art by internationally renowned Pacifi c Northwest artist Dan Corson,” says Chrystal. “Avanti allows residents to live, commute, shop and relax within a two-block radius and Polygon is ecstatic to contribute to the exciting transformation of this entire neighbourhood.”
Th e park is expected to be completed in 2015, and the fi rst tower in 2016.
Other amenities include a residents-only Jewel Box-style clubhouse with a fully equipped fi tness centre with a dance and yoga studio, recording studio, games room and hotel-style rooft op with a grand whirlpool. Th ere will also be a Googleplex-infl uenced multimedia lounge.
Th e sales centre will open on April 12. For more information, check out www.polyhomes.com, call 604-276-9186 or visit the sales centre at 8311 Cambie Road, Richmond.
Polygon unveils new community in Richmond: Avanti
By Kerry Vital
Luxury and style is evident at Cressey’s Cadence, a new project in Richmond’s Oval Village that will eventually include two residential towers and tons of amenities.
“Th is is the fi rst master-planned mixed-use community in Richmond,” says David Evans, development manager for Cressey. “It’s anchored by the Oval itself, and everything is built up ... around it.”
Th e location is one of the driving forces behind Cadence. Just a block from the water and its leisure and recreation opportunities, Cadence will be one of the most well-connected developments in the city, with shopping, dining and transit all within walking distance or on-site.
“People are recognizing the benefi ts of the Oval Village,” says Evans.
Healthy living is top of mind at Cadence, especially with its proximity to the Richmond Olympic Oval.
“We have a grand perspective for interior
air quality, earth, water and personal well-being,” says Evans. “Each suite has individual water fi ltration and energy recovery ventilation that brings fresh air into each home.”
Every suite will have air-conditioning to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, as well as an outdoor space perfect for entertaining and over-height ceilings that contribute to the airy and spacious feeling.
Cressey has decided not to include carpet in the homes, and instead features wide-plank engineered hardwood fl ooring throughout, with tile in the bathrooms.
Perhaps one of the best parts of the homes at Cadence is the famous CresseyKitchen, with stainless-steel appliances, fully integrated Chef ’s Wall, polished quartz countertops complemented by a marble backsplash and European-inspired full-height cabinetry and task lighting.
“People are thrilled and surprised by the kitchen itself,” says Evans. “It’s like a kitchen in a single-family home. It’s a show-stopper.”
Elegant bathrooms have quartz countertops and wood-grained fl oating vanities with under-cabinet lighting and a modern polished marble tile fl oor. Th e ensuite has heated tile fl ooring by Nu-heat, for that extra touch of luxury. A rain shower head adds a spa-like feel to the space, complemented by stylish chrome faucets.
Continuing the theme of healthy living at Cadence, there will be a branch of Steve Nash
Fitness World on the ground level, and every homeowner will be given a membership. Th ere will also be an array of shops, restaurants and other commercial spaces on the bottom level, making running errands convenient.
An expansive podium rooft op garden will feature an outdoor patio and barbecue area, outdoor fi replace, refl ecting pond, private gardening plots and a children’s play area, among many other amenities. Cadence will also have a private concierge service.
For more information, visit www.cressey.com/cadence or call 604-276-8683. Th e presentation centre in Richmond is open by appointment.
Submitted photosThe CresseyKitchen is one of the most stunning parts of the homes at Cadence, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and a marble backsplash. Homeowners will have access to tons of amenities, including an expansive podium rooftop garden. Other beautiful features of the homes include wide-plank engineered hardwood fl ooring, large windows and a rain shower head in the bathroom for an extra luxurious feeling.

JOHN CARLSON 604-612-0080
DAVID MAITREPersonal Real Estate Corporation
ONE PERCENT–REALTY–
20132013
Q: How do your fees work?A: We charge a � at fee of $6950 + GST for
anything that sells under $600,000, and a rate of 1% of the sale price + $950 + GST for anything that sells over $600,000.
Q: How can you provide the same services but charge less?
A: We work on volume. So many people want us to sell their homes that we can make a good living without charging a lot. It doesn’t take any more work to sell a $600,000 home than to sell a $300,000 home, so why should you pay so much more?
Q: If I pay less, will I settle for less service and get less money?
A: De� nitely not. You’ll get the same level of services and the same results you’d expect to receive at other brokerages. Full MLS®, REALTOR.ca, professional photos, open houses, all documentation, negotiations, and an experienced agent.
Q: Will other REALTORS® show my home if I list with One Percent Realty?
A: Absolutely, yes. Statistically, One Percent Realty is similar to other brokerages -- Approximately 70-80% ** of our listings annually are sold by agents from other brokerages (and we can prove it). Buyers don’t care who is listing your property; buyers only care if your property is right for them. So, our properties are shown or sold by other agents every day of the year. Give us a call to hear the straight facts!

Gary McKenna/the tri-city newS
Express coach Barry Wolff hasn’t been in Coquitlam for very long, but he is already having an impact. His team will take on the Vernon Vipers this weekend in the BCHL’s Fred Page Cup finals.
Wolff leads the Express packExpress coach Barry Wolff leads team in toughest challenge yet
By Gary McKennaThE Tri-CiTy NEWs
When Barry Wolff took over the head coaching duties for the Coquitlam Express a year ago this week, the team was floundering.
The club had missed the playoffs when the B.C. Hockey League reg-ular season wrapped up and only the Cowichan Valley Capitals had a worse record.
Fa s t - f o r wa rd 1 2 months and Wolff is celebrating his first year at the helm of the BCHL junior ‘A’ hockey club with a trip to the Fred Page Cup Championship, which begins in Vernon this weekend.
So what has gone right for the coach and his team this season?
“We’ve won some games,” he said. “We have new staff. New players. A new attitude. It is what it is.”
The team has also done well on the recruit-ing front. Only three players are still on the roster from last season and many of the new additions have helped make Coquitlam a top-tier club.
Team captain Ryan Rosenthal has bolstered his team’s offence while Canon Pieper has also cracked the BCHL’s top ten scoring list dur-ing the regular season. Brother Bo Pieper was not far behind in the 15th spot, with 59 points.
Adam Rockwood, one of the holdovers from last season, is having a career year, scoring 13 goals and 61 assists dur-ing the regular season.
The offence has been bolstered by a steady defensive squad back-stopped Gordie Defiel. He may not have the
best save percent-age in the l e a g u e and his r e g u l a r s e a s o n g o a l s a g a i n s t
average is ranked 24th, but he has been relied upon to make the stops when they are needed.
His numbers have also been steadily im-proving since the start of the playoffs, registering a 2.65 goals against av-erage and the best save percentage out of any goalie in the post season.
“He has been unreal,” said Wolff said. “He has really raised his level and he competes hard every game.”
The Express have also had a bit of luck to bol-ster their skill. Wolff’s team has managed to avoid the injury bug, which can be devastat-ing for teams looking to go far in the post-season.
“We haven’t had any-thing serious,” he said. “A few bumps and bruises. That is a big part of any playoff success — stay-ing healthy and getting the bounces.”
But if there is one thing the Express don’t have, it’s experience.
With a relatively fresh roster mixed with the fact the team missed the post-season last year, the playoffs have been uncharted territory for most of the Express players.
Wolff said he works to keep things loose in practice and help calm the nerves of some of his team, particularly those that have not been to a championship be-fore.
“No question, we don’t have a whole lot of play-off experience in that room,” he said. “Every series we have come out a bit nervous. Definitely they are excited, but we try and keep things a little loose.”
Silver for McCrae at nationalsTri-City wrestler Ciara
McCrae will add some hardware to Port Moody secondary’s trophy case.
Fresh off a gold medal at the provincial cham-pionships in Prince George last month, the Grade 11 grappler took home silver at the National Wrestling Championships in Guelph, Ont., this past
weekend.McCrae’s only defeat
came at the hands of Elizabeth Fagan in the fi-nals of the juvenile 49 kg category at the contest.
But the 16-year-old athlete was not done yet.
McCrae also won a sil-ver the next day at the Fila Cadet Trials, which puts her on the National Junior Team.
Last month, McCrae defeated St. Thomas more’s Ciara Corbett in the 51-kg category at the provincial champion-ships. That victory se-cured her position in the national championships.
Nicholas Lew, another Tri-City athlete, also competed in Guelph last weekend.

Best, Fox rolling as soccer season begins
By Gary McKennaThE Tri-CiTy NEWs
The Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils and the Terry Fox Ravens finished up the first week of the AAA girls’ high school soccer season tied for first in the North Zone standings.
After defeating Centennial 3-1 in the season opener, the Blue Devi ls have gone on to beat Riverside 4-0 at home on Monday and Heritage Woods 1-0 on the road on We d n e s d ay. Th e streak has led to a seven-goal differen-tial, with the team scoring eight and only allowing one in the first three games.
Meanwhile, Fox has racked up a similarly impressive record with wins against Gleneagle (3-0), Riverside (2-1) and Port Moody (2-0).
T h e H e r i t a g e Woods Kodiaks are also off to an im-pressive start. The club kicked off the season with a 3-1 win over Riverside last week, before defeating Gleneagle 1-0 on Monday. The team’s only blem-ish on their season so far came at the hands of Charles Best, who defeated the Port Moody club 1-0 on Wednesday n i g h t . T h e Centennial Centaurs are still looking for their first win after both of the club’s games were post-poned this week. The team has not played since its 3-1 loss in the season opener against Best.
Riverside is also looking to put its first notch in the vic-tory column after going 0-3 in the first week of the season.
G l e n e a g l e ’ s lone win so far this season came Wednseday night when the Talons de-feated Maple Ridge secondary 5-2 on the road in what was the highest scoring game of the North Zone league so far this [email protected]
Ciara McCrae (red) took home a silver medal at the national Wrestling Championships in Guelph, ont., last weekend. the Port Moody secondary student competed in the 49 kg category and earned her spot in the tournament after a win in the provincials in Prince George last month.

Lack of playoff experience has not hindered Express
The only person on the bench that has been to a Fred Page Cup finals is Wolff when he won the trophy in 2005 with the Surrey Eagles.
Surrey was just one stop on a long-list of teams for the Kelowna native. He has been in both the BCHL and the KIJHL, earning coach of the year honours in both leagues. Wolff has been behind the
bench with the Quesnel Millionaires and the Fernie Ghostriders of the KIJHL before making the move to Coquitlam.
Coquitlam has al-ready seen Vernon in this post-season. Because the BCHL has three divisions, the third round of the playoffs is a round-robin tournament between the top clubs from every re-gion. The top two teams from that round move on to play in the finals.
Coquitlam has strug-
gled so far this season against the Vipers. In the first game of the round-robin series the Express lost 6-1.Friday night Coquitlam will return to Kal Tire Place and hope for a better result.
If the Express can win the finals it will be the fourth series in a row where the team has knocked off a higher-seeded club, after tak-ing down Langley and Prince George earlier in the playoffs.
Coquitlam finished the regular season with 59 points to Vernon’s 70, but Wolff said he won’t be playing up the squad’s underdog status.
“We are all in the same league,” he said. I don’t think there are any un-derdogs.”
• The series gets un-derway in Vernon this weekend before com-ing to the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex on April 14 and 15. Puck drops at 7 p.m.
