A BIG WHEEL BACKS WHEEL TO HEAL
Control your trash & save bearsDEAD BEARS
DIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
B.C. Conservation Officer Service is pleading with Tri-City residents near greenbelts
and forests to take extra pre-cautions with their garbage.
Insp. Murray Smith made the appeal as he fielded calls about a family of three bears — a sow and two yearlings
that were killed early Thursday morning by conservation of-ficers in the Panorama Drive area of Port Moody.
“It’s really important that the public do their part,” said
Smith, noting that this is the time of year bruins start look-ing for food and will come into neighbourhoods if they can smell human trash. Once the bears get hooked, they tend to
stick around, and last year six were destroyed in the Tri-Cities because they had become ha-bituated to human trash.

sprinkling restric-tions to start earlyJEFF NAGELBlaCk Press
Metro Vancouver will begin water use restrictions two weeks earlier than normal next month in an attempt to avoid a repeat of last summer’s shortage, and it will also assess whether more water metering or other strategies would best help conserve the supply over the long term.
The regional district will begin standard stage 1 water restrictions on lawn sprinkling on May 15 this year instead of June 1, and they’ll run until Oct. 15 instead of the end of September.

Lunch, language & a bouncy castleREFUGEES IN THE TRI-CITIES
United Way works to connect local refugees with ser-vices in Tri-CitiesDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
Coquitlam’s Syrian refugees have found permanent shelter but are struggling with the English language as they adapt to new routines, says a direc-tor of a local agency providing funding and support to the newcomers.
Kim Winchell, director of investment for the United Way of Lower Mainland, said a community lunch on Saturday drew 100 government-spon-sored Syrian refugees, who dined on traditional foods and connected with local service agencies while their children did crafts, got their faces painted and played on a bouncy castle.
“They are getting accus-tomed to life in Canada, things we take for granted, such as transit and grocery shopping,” said Winchell, who visited with a number of families at the event, which was held at Mountain View elementary school in Coquitlam.
One of the most popular ac-tivities was the bouncy castle, she said, and the children
patiently lined up to take their turn.
The Tri-Cities is home to approximately 15% of the gov-ernment-sponsored refugees
who have arrived in Canada since January, prompting the United Way to host the lunch in Coquitlam at the same time it was holding similar events
in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey.
Winchell said the United Way wanted to make the new resi-dents feel welcome and con-
nect them with local services. “The event was a happy,
welcoming event,” she told The Tri-City News, noting that a common theme among fami-
lies was their appreciation of Coquitlam generosity.
In addition to the families and social service agencies, approximately 80 volunteers came to help out at the lunch.
Winchell said helping Syrian refugees is a top prior-ity for the United Way, which is putting $2.8 million into programs serving newcomers in the Lower Mainland. In the Tri-Cities, the charity contrib-utes to a drop-in program for families called the Early Years Refugee program, the Schools and Families Together pro-gram (run by Share Family and Community Services), and the Immigrant Services Society’s Reaching for Success program, with Mountain View being the main hub because most of the refugees live in the school’s catchment area.
Winchell said the United Way is also working with School District 43 to establish a summer school program for the refugee children up to age 12.
“We will definitely keep a pulse on all four communities and see what else we can do to step up,” she added.
Recently, the United Way made a fundraising appeal, United for Refugees, with $175,000 being raised to date. To make a donation, visit www.uwlm.ca/refugees.

summer school registration just around the cornerTRI-CITY SCHOOLS
Popular summer activity sees kids back in classroomDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
Thousands of School District 43 students are expected to enrol in summer school pro-grams this year in what has become as much of a tradition as heading to the beach.
And while high school credit courses continue to attract stu-dents looking to boost marks or free up their schedules dur-ing the school year, most of the growth in enrolment has been among students in the younger grades.
This year, for example, some 6,000 students are expected to enrol in Coquitlam Summer Learning programs, more
than half of whom are kids in kindergarten to Grade 8, while enrolment in high school credit courses is holding at 1,800 students and remedial programs (for students wishing to upgrade to a passing mark) is similarly stable.
“As our numbers would indicate, it’s matching a need in the community,” said Murray Peters, vice-principal for Coquitlam Continuing Education.
The courses are also free for B.C. residents, and there are many more options than the traditional reading, writing and math, giving students an op-portunity to learn a new skill, such as a musical instrument in beginner band, how to cook in a culinary arts course or building leadership skills in a physical education class.
Peters said SD43 will once again offer a few new courses;
for example, some for students in Grades 3 to 8 will blend two subjects in a single course, such as reading, writing and outdoor science or math and outdoor science. In these in-tegrated courses, students will focus on a “big idea” using ele-ments of the two subject areas, Peters said.
“This is not necessarily revolutionary, many teachers for a long time have been inte-grating those subjects and we wanted to formalize that this summer,” he said.
The new integrated courses have also been developed in line with the provincial curric-ulum being rolled out for kin-dergarten to Grade 9 students this fall. The new curriculum — which stresses personalized and project-based learning, among other things — has already been introduced to many SD43 schools.
“We want our summer learning to be part of the inno-vation that’s going on,” Peters told The Tri-City News.
This year, about 240 teachers will be hired for the summer,
with courses available at about a dozen Tri-City schools. As well, specialized courses for Montessori, French immersion and international baccalaure-ate students will be offered.
And for families wanting to get a jump on summer plan-ning, registration will soon begin. To get an account, you must have the student’s PEN number, which is available from their home school; all registration is done online and starts at 6 a.m. on the following dates:
• elementary, Tuesday, April 26;
• middle and secondary skill building, Friday, April 29;
• Grade 10 high school credit, Tuesday, May 3;
• Grade 11 high school credit, Wednesday, May 4;
• secondary remedial, Friday, May 6;
• Grade 12 high school credit, Wednesday, May 11.

Problems prompt Coquitlam to ponder even more parking
COQUITLAM
Requiring garage parking consid-ered but rejectedGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News
Parking conflicts have reached a boiling point in some Coquitlam neighbour-hoods and the city is consider-ing revisions to how it allocates stalls for new developments.
Some city councillors are even calling for rules that would require residents to use their garages for parking rather than storage or additional liv-ing space.
“There needs to be some sort of enforcement or some-thing that says you have to use your garage for parking,” said Coun. Brent Asmundson. “It really impacts the neighbour-hood.”
But a report presented to council-in-committee Monday afternoon outlining potential amendments to the city’s parking regulations stopped short of recommending new
enforcement measures.Mike Dhaliwal, a develop-
ment planner with the city, said staff had initially consid-ered requiring garage parking but decided against it after reviewing similar regulations in other Lower Mainland mu-nicipalities.
“It does ultimately come down to enforcement,” he said. “It would require bylaw officers to investigate how garages are being used by residents. It would be a very difficult ap-proach.”
Many of the issues stem from the widespread develop-ment of smaller single-family homes, townhouses and row-houses, particularly on Burke Mountain. The smaller, more affordable housing types were adopted back when plans for improved bus service and rapid transit were expected in the neighbourhood. Since those plans have been shelved, the city is now dealing with multi-car families moving into an area that was not designed for the large vehicle load.
“While these initiatives have generally proven to be
successful, there appears to have been some unintended consequences related to the adequacy of the city’s off-street parking standards,” said the report.
As a result, staff is now rec-ommending that the number of spaces for every new town-house, row-house, triplex and quadruplex development in-crease from the current 1.5 stall per unit to two stalls per unit.
The city is also looking at no longer counting tandem parking as a recognized stall for secondary suites, carriage houses and garden cottages, according to the report.
Staff will now take the feed-back from council and draft a report that will come back to council for approval.

1 HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN“Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severeneck pain...I tried every possible treatment...butalas, nothing worked. One day, I came acrossan ad for Laser light Therapy and even though Iwas sceptical I tried it out of desperation...I hadapproximately 18 treatments and no longer sufferneck pain – it is truly a miracle!”
P.B. (58)
2 NECK PAIN“I had chronic pain that would run the lengthof my left arm from my shoulder right to my�ngertips. It was painful enough that it wouldwake me up throughout the night, so I couldnot get a decent night sleep. After about 2-3weeks of laser light therapy on my neck, the paindisappeared and I was able to get a decent nightsleep.”
N.C. (69)
3 SHOULDER PAIN“I am ninety-�ve years of age and had beenexperiencing constant neck and shoulder pain forsome time. My family doctor could only recommendpain killers as the available treatment. It was then Ilearned about Doctor P. Bennett’s Laser Treatment....After ten treatments,....I was no longer enduring thechronic ache and pain which had beset me for solong.”
P.G. (95)
4 ELBOW AND NECK ARTHRITIS“Finally I decided to start Laser Light Therapy. Firstthe neck, within a few treatments my neck andshoulders stopped aching. Then the left elbow,which was quite sore with moderate degeneration.The treatments improved my painful elbow. I nolonger awake every few hours from pain and manynights I can sleep right through!”
R.L.L (62)
5 BONE SPURS IN HIP JOINT“For several years I experienced pain in myhip which spread to my lower back and mademy leg ache...After 2 treatments I felt almostimmediate relief, and after 4, danced at mygrandson’s wedding. After 10 treatments I wascompletely back to normal with no pain andfully functioning...This therapy worked wonders.I couldn’t believe it, and I would stronglyrecommend it.”
A.R. (74)
6 KNEE PAIN“For the last 5 or 6 years, I have been kept awakemany nights with pain in my left knee. I tried varioustreatments and oral supplements which turned out lessthan satisfactory. After completing about a dozen orso sessions of Laser therapy, my knee pain, while notcompletely eliminated, has been largely reduced and Ican enjoy my daily walks again.”
W.F. (75)
7 ACHILLES TENDON TEAR“I am an avid squash player in my late forties. I hadpartially torn the Achilles tendon on my right footduring a squash match. This was the fourth timein �ve years that I have injured my Achilles, andeach time it took about 5 months to heal. ... After7 weeks of treatment, I have more range of motionin my ankles and the scar tissue that should havedeveloped in that area never did due to the lasertherapy treatment. I was back playing squash in 7weeks, rather than 5 months.”

Final days at Thrifty’s will help food bank clients
THRIFTY FOODS
Coquitlam store partnering with Share Sat. & Sun.SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
Fill up your grocery cart at Thrifty Foods in Austin Station this weekend — the store’s last at that location — and you can help fill up Share food bank shelves at the same time.
The Coquitlam Thrifty’s lo-cation is closing as of Monday, soon to be replaced with Save-On-Foods, and is celebrating its final weekend with a food drive.
“They’ve been a consistent supporter, that’s why this is a little bittersweet,” said Michele Mateus of Share Family and Community Services of the Thrifty’s closure.
Sobey’s Inc. confirmed in January it would be closing the Riverview Heights Thrifty’s, citing an inability to reach ac-ceptable lease renewal terms with the landlord. The store employs 35 full-time and 105 part-time staff.
“On behalf of all of us at Share, we’d like to express our sincerest thank you for all of the generous support the staff and management at Thrifty
Foods Austin Station has given us over many years,” said Valerie Hutton, Share’s director of development, in a release. “Their amazing support of the community and their fine cor-porate engagement has been stellar.”
Food and funds will be col-lected at the store on Saturday and Sunday.
Mateus said that while people tend to think of giving to the food bank more during the Christmas season, the need is constant throughout the year. The Share food bank dis-tributes 5,000 lb. of food to at least 375 Tri-City families every week, and 37% of those it helps feed are children.
“People are hungry all year round,” Mateus said. “This is a great reminder for the commu-nity that there’s a need for the food bank, and it’s a struggle to get those donations.”
Items that are most in need include high-protein and -nu-trient foods like tuna, peanut butter, salmon, beans and lentils, as well as larger items that can be turned into more than one meal, such as a jar of tomato sauce.
Baby supplies are also ap-preciated for Share’s Tiny Bundles program.

Bulging, Herniated orWorn Discs may be toBlame for Sciatica, Pain and Numbness in Legs
Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suf-
fer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine
and back problems result from an auto accident, injury,
or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs
are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They
can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body.
This pain affects everything that you do, from work to
play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not
even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer
from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is
hope. We have the technology and decades of experience
to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica.
The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treat-
ing all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced
non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can
help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary
consultation to the first 25 callers.
Spinal Decompression Allows Back Painto Heal...Without Drugs or SurgeryDecompression relieves pressure that builds up on the
discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about
as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc
back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating

Bears were in yardsDEAD BEARS
That’s what happened to the family unit killed last Thursday. The group had been getting into people’s yards and garages over a two-week period since leaving their dens in late March, and they weren’t seen as good candidates for relocation because the female had been relocated once al-ready, judging by its ear tag; last fall, the same bears had been breaking into homes to get food.
As soon as spring arrived, they resumed their activity, although it had been hoped they would go back to eating wild food.
Smith said Port Moody Police were first called to the scene and by the time the conservation officers got to the home, the bears had moved from the garage to the street.
“They had no fear of people,” he said, noting safety was the reason the bears were killed.
Smith said of the conserva-tion officers, “They hate that part of the job.”
And he urged people to keep trash and green carts locked up, and not use bird seed so bears aren’t tempted to stray into yards.
Port Moody is typically the city with the fewest complaints and bear deaths. During last year’s bear season from April
1 to Sept. 29, for example, three bears were destroyed in Coquitlam, two in Port Coquitlam but none in Port Moody.
But the Conservation Officer Service received 405 bear com-plaints from PoMo residents last year and had to start a cam-paign to encourage businesses to lock up their trash bins after a bruin was found hanging out behind a popular coffee shop
and getting into garbage.“It’s an easy solution,” Smith
said. “Let’s lock up all the human food sources, the bird feed, and in the fall it’s fruit trees, and even pet food.
“We really need the public to be doing these [things] and having good habits so we don’t get these bears into bad habits.”
[email protected]@dstrandbergTC
REACTION TO DEATH OF 3 BEARSThe shooting deaths of the three bears has angered many,
with people posting dozens of comments under the story at tricitynews.com and on The Tri-City News’ Facebook site. Many had seen the bears in the area and didn’t see them as a prob-lem. The young bears had even been caught playing on Forest Park Drive and a video of them posted to the city’s website.
Facebook comments ranged from anger at the conser-vation officer service to frustration with people who don’t remove bear attractants. Here is a sample:
• Amy Murdoch: I knew these bears and saw them this week. They passed behind my house (the forest) frequently over the past year. Never aggressive. Never destroyed anything here because we keep our garbage secure. I was out hiking this morning and wondered if I’d run into them. Turns out they were dead. Devastating.
• Cathy Morton: Appalling. When will we stop the massive overdevelopment in this area, and start fining people who don’t deal with their garbage properly? I hate reading these stories, especially right after seeing the video of the innocent cubs. Tragic.
• Steve Wallace: They say these bears are not “good can-didates for relocation” but can’t they at least try? I’ve lived here with young kids and seeing bears in our garbage for over a decade, no problems. I call bull--- on the slaughter of this momma bear and Cubs! Try harder!

Difference of opinion between mom, mayor
NOISY KIDS
‘Kids being kids’ vs. ‘repeated com-plaints to the city’GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News
A Coquitlam mother of three is furious with the city after she received a notice of bylaw violation warning because her children were creating “noise that disturbs” while playing in front of their home.
Jana D’Addabbo, who lives on Burke Mountain, said she was caught off guard when she came home from one of her son’s hockey tournament Saturday night to see the notice posted on her door. The ticket stated that her kids needed to “keep yelling and screaming to a minimum.”
“I am quite disappointed,” she said. “It seems like they enforce something like this but they allow harsher things to go by without a ticket or a notice.”
Adding to her frustration is the fact her family was not home when the ticket was received. D’Addabbo said she is still not clear when noise levels go from “kids being kids” to a bylaw infraction. She is particularly disappointed, she
added, that her neighbours did not come speak with her directly about the issue before phoning the city.
“It is not very neighbourly,” she said. “I don’t even know half my neighbours and we have lived here eight years — eight years and you do not know anybody, which is pretty sad.”
When D’Addabbo went to city hall Monday to talk about the ticket with bylaw staff, she was told video evidence had accompanied the complaint.
“I don’t know what they are doing with those videos,” she said. “Are they recording my kids all the time? It’s not right.”
GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWSJana D’Addabbo, a Burke Mountain resident and mother of three, said she received a noise violation bylaw warning from the city of Coquitlam because her children were playing loudly outside.

NOISY KIDS
This is not the first time her home has received a visit from bylaw officials.
Last year, she said, an of-ficer knocked on her door and warned her that a neighbour had complained that her chil-dren were being too loud out-side. With the warm weather re-turning, D’Addabbo added that her kids have started venturing out into the yard once again.
“They have only been out there three or four times this year,” she said. “They play hockey. They ride scooters. This street is not busy.”
But Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart countered some of D’Addabbo’s claims in a Facebook message he posted Tuesday morning.
He said there have been nu-merous complaints over mul-tiple years and that “rocks and other objects” were “thrown at a neighbour’s yard toward [the] neighbour’s toddler.
“This wasn’t just one neigh-bour who had issues,” he wrote. “And I know that at least one of the neighbours had tried talking to the parents.”
Stewart also defended the ac-tions of the bylaw enforcement officer, noting that the city can-not release all of the reasons for issuing a notice of violation. He added that in his more than 10 years on council, he had never seen a case like this.
“This notice, though, wasn’t about children playing,” he said. “It was about behaviours that were significantly disrupting the neighbourhood and placing themselves and others at risk.”
Andrea MacDonald, Coquitlam’s manager of bylaws, said the violation notice is a warning and that bylaw officers only wanted to speak with D’Addabbo. She noted had the family been home at the time, it is unlikely anything would have been written down.
“Everyone appreciates there are always two sides to a story,” MacDonald told The Tri-City News Monday afternoon. “We don’t take any action until we have both sides of the story.”
The city’s noise bylaw does not specify a decibel level or a time of day, simply stating that the noise cannot disturb the neighbourhood. MacDonald said staff are investigating the
complaint to see if the volume at the D’Addabbo residence was in violation of the rules.
“In order to prove an offence, we have to prove that it is dis-turbing the neighbourhood,” she said.
MacDonald added that the city encourages children to play outside but residents need to be respectful of one another. She also said bylaw officials try to avoid issuing tickets and prefer to work with neighbours to find solutions. “We encourage neighbourly conversations,” she said. “Usually, we can mediate and have a useful conversation to gain voluntary compliance if there is an issue. Ticketing is always the last resort.”
Meanwhile, D’Addabbo is leaving her Avondale Road home for another residence further down the hill.
She cited the recent noise complaint as an example of why she decided to sell the property and head to a different neighbourhood, a move she ex-pects to take place in June.
“It is more kid-friendly,” she said.

Social media jumps on noisy kids story
THE NOISY KIDS STORY
Everyone has an opinion on issue on social mediaDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
The power of social media turned a neighbourhood dis-pute into a national debate, putting the city of Coquitlam under the spotlight in a matter of hours early this week.
What began as a story about a mother of three angry about receiving a notice of violation from the city because her chil-dren were producing “noise that disturbs” turned into a controversy over proper parent-ing when the story went viral on Facebook.
Jana D’Addabbo, who lives on Burke Mountain, came home from her son’s hockey tournament Saturday night to see the notice posted on her door that suggested her chil-dren needed to be considerate of neighbours and “keep yelling and screaming to a minimum.”
She first posted her concerns on Facebook and when The Tri-City News followed up and posted the story online — at tricitynews.com and linking to it on Facebook and Twitter — the
response was quick and in sup-port of D’Addabbo, with many suggesting children needed the freedom to play outside free of censure.
Comments on Facebook ranged from “I love to hear the sound of children playing” to kids don’t need to be “yelling their fool heads off to have fun.”
On Twitter, people for the most part sided with the mom, with one user noting that research shows children are healthier when they play outside.
Public opinion quickly
changed the following day, however, when Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart de-fended the actions of the bylaw enforcement officer, noting the family had been the subject of numerous complaints over multiple years, and the notice wasn’t about children playing but about disruptive behav-iours.
Social media sometimes only gets one side of the story, the mayor opined on Facebook.
But the media had a field day with the question at what point does children’s noisy play becomes a city responsi-bility.
Over two days, the story quickly got the interest of Vancouver media, with radio stations (CKNW, CKPM 98.7 and News 1130), BC CTV News, online media Vancity Buzz, castanet.net and iNews880.com and even the Toronto bureau of U.K.-based newspaper The Guardian all covering the story.
On The Tri-City News’ Facebook page, for example, in less than 24 hours the original story reached some 13,000 people, drawing dozens of comments and the updated story reached several thousand more.

The story of a Coquitlam mom who complained about receiv-ing a bylaw notice regarding her kids exploded on social media after it broke Monday af-ternoon, even drawing attention from The Guardian newspaper.

Up to all of us to save bearsThe outpouring of
grief at the killings of three bears in
Port Moody shows how deeply Tri-City residents feel about nature and how desperate they are for a solution.
Here’s one: Instead of blaming others, and con-servation officers in par-ticular, perhaps it’s time for residents to take matters into their own hands.
Call a city bylaw officer if you see people leaving their trash or other attrac-tants around, so warnings and fines can be meted out.
For the most part, people understand that neighbourhoods built in or next to forests are in bear territory and it’s up to residents to make sure nothing is left outside for bears to get into. But the sad fact is, it just takes one or two homeowners or a single business to forget to close a door, lock up a waste cart or an industrial waste bin for the problem to begin.
That’s because bears, once accustomed to the ease and taste of human trash, will become hooked — just like a drug addict on heroin. It’s a simple fact of numbers and evo-lution, attractants such as leftovers and vegetables pack a greater caloric
punch than a mouthful of berries, grubs or grass.
There’s no point in blaming conservation of-ficers for the problem and saying relocating bears is better than shooting them because that’s not always the case. For example, if bears are already habitu-
ated to human garbage, they are likely to return — even from hundreds of kilometres away — and now they are even more desperate.
Sending cubs to Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley instead of killing them is a good option and makes people feel bet-ter. (Critter Care relies on donations and doesn’t get provincial funding, by the way, so help if you can.) And this spring, some 33 bears will be released into the wild, some of them from the Tri-Cities.
But how many of these bears will survive not hav-ing their mothers to teach them the ropes, and in forests already home to bears?
It’s not that we want to promote vigilante action but neighbours and busi-nesses working together to stop attractants from being made available to bears would make a dif-ference and show that everyone is prepared to do their part.

TC LETTERSPenalize scofflaws and save the bears
ANIMALS & HUMANS
The Editor,Re. “Port Moody bear deaths
blamed on garbage” (trici-tynews.com, April 15).
To Port Moody council:I have just heard of the re-
cent killing of three bears in Port Moody and I am angry. This killing has to stop.
The city of Port Moody and its citizens are directly responsible for the occurrence of bears in residential areas. The expansion of the city has destroyed the bears’ natural feeding areas and residents’ refusal to learn to control their garbage have caused the prob-lem. It is unconscionable to try to solve a problem the city has created by killing bears.
On previous occasions, I have asked the city to enforce its garbage laws and nothing effective has been done. Now I am demanding consistent action from the city. Residents must be taught that leaving garbage outside or outside overnight on collection days is not acceptable.
I expect two things from the city: First, an extended cam-paign to emphasize to residents that their continued irresponsi-ble handling of household gar-bage will have consequences, not to the bears, but to them-selves. Second, I want to see bylaw enforcement officers on the street every night assessing stiff fines against people who leave garbage containers on the street overnight.
The city must develop an effective program aimed at educating residents in how to coexist with bears. It’s simple: Just leave them alone. Bears have never caused a serious injury in Port Moody despite non-stop provocation by people. They do not deserve to die just because uneducated residents perceive them to be dangerous.Ron Long, Port Moody
DON’T JUST TOSS YOUR BAGGED POOPThe Editor
Kudos to all the dog owners who pick up after their dogs.But what the heck moves you to drop the bags on side-
walks, toss them into trees and shrubs, and leave them on pathways? Who do you think is going to pick them up?
I walk regularly through our beautiful neighbourhood in northeast Coquitlam and am appalled by the number of poop bags I see on a regular basis, never mind the copious amount of fast food garbage that also gets tossed every-where.
You have chosen to live in a nice neighbourhood — have some respect for the others who live here and keep it clean.Sheila Andrascik, Coquitlam

Riding & raising money with world-class cyclistWHEEL TO HEAL
SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
Twenty-five local cyclists got to test their mettle against a Tour de France star Sunday, and pitched in a few bucks to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation at the same time.
The group, which included seven-year-old Ronan Johns, won the chance to ride with two-time yellow jersey wearer Jens Voigt after raising at least $1,000 for the annual Wheel to Heal ride on April 30 (as a youth participant, Johns had to raise a minimum of $700). They left Sky Helicopters in Pitt Meadows and stopped at Cap’s Westwood Cycles in Port Coquitlam (a W2H sponsor), Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody and then headed back across the bridge in the 50-km ride.
“It was fantastic, it was so much fun, the weather was amazing and Jens was a plea-
sure,” said Charlene Giovanetti-King, executive director of Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation. “At the very end, part of the group decided to pick up the pace and it got a little competitive… they were doing a pretty good clip on the way back.”
Giovanetti-King said reg-istration and fundraising are on track for the eighth annual event, with just 75 more adult registrants needed to meet the goal of 350. Another 24 children and youth have registered; in all, participants have raised $88,000 towards ERHF’s $125,000 goal. Funds raised go to the greatest needs at Eagle Ridge Hospital.
This year’s event offers some new routes and a new way to celebrate at the end of your journey. “There are three bridges to challenge those who want to ride the 100-km route,” said Giovanetti-King, add-ing the group will be the first charity ride to cross the Port
Mann Bridge. But if 100 km is a bridge too far, riders can take a shortcut at the 25 km mark for a total distance of about 60 km. Two other routes are a great fit for all levels of riders, as well as families, and will take cyclists on a 15 km or 40 km tour of the Traboulay PoCo Trail.
All rides start and end at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park, and it’s the end part that’s been beefed up to celebrate riders’ accomplishments.
Plan to soak up the atmo-sphere at the Celebration Plaza, where there will be live music and entertainment, beer garden and burgers, a kids’ bike deco-rating station and parade and a special cheering section to watch the riders come in.
• Wheel to Heal, sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, is on Saturday, April 30. For full details and to register or donate, visit www.wheeltoheal.ca.

Book a spot now to give blood on May 4
PORT MOODY FIRE DEPT.
SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
Kick back in the Port Moody fire hall truck bay and roll up your sleeve for the city’s third blood donor clinic on May 4.
It’s the second blood drive in the fire hall (the first was in the city hall galleria) and PoMo Fire Rescue administra-tor Natalie Hayton hopes it reaches its goal again this year.
“Our target [last year] was
76 units and we collected 89” from the 119 people who at-tended, Hayton said, “so it was very successful.”
She has been spreading the word about the May 4 clinic via social media and says there are still appointments up for grabs, noting it’s an easy way to help others with a direct and lasting impact.
“It’s something you can give that doesn’t cost anything,” Hayton said.
Fire Chief Remo Faedo said the need to donate blood can-not be overemphasized.
“It’s ongoing, the need doesn’t stop,” he said. “And you never know when you might need blood yourself.”
The clinic is on Wednesday, May 4 from 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. To book an appointment, call 1-888-2DONATE or visit www.blood.ca.

Complaints from PM residents near rail crossingsSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody will spend $20,000 for engineers to de-termine whether trains on the Ioco spur line can do without the whistle at the Murray Street crossing.
Staff have been investigat-ing whistle cessation options for more than a year, working with Transport Canada and CP Rail on ways to resolve an issue that’s been irking area
residents for years. Trains have typically taken the Ioco spur in the late afternoon and returned at about 9 p.m. but in the past couple of years, the schedule has been less predictable, with trains passing between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.
Each time, the trains must sound the whistle at the Murray Street and Alderside Road crossings — two long, one short and one long blast — much to the dismay of any nearby residents hoping to get a good night’s sleep.
One option under federal regulations would be manual protection, in which a train op-erator manually controls traffic on the roadway while a train
approaches the crossing.It’s a cheaper method than
whistle cessation, which re-quires a lengthy review process involving the city, CP Rail and Transport Canada, to deter-mine whether a crossing is eligible for cessation. If it’s ap-proved, installing flashing lights and a bell system is estimated to cost up to $200,000 per location.
There are eight road cross-ings along the Ioco spur line; the Murray Street crossing has a flashing lights and crossing arms system in place and a review is needed to determine whether that system is suf-ficient.

A former Coquitlam substi-tute teacher will be sentenced in the sexual assault of a six-year-old girl in 2013.
After a trial at B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, Aleksandr Plehanov was found guilty in January of the assault but not guilty of touching a person under the age of 16 for
a sexual purpose. Plehanov was charged in
connection with an incident involving the daughter of a friend in Surrey on Easter Sunday in 2013, when he touched the girl’s pelvic area and buttocks and put his hand inside the front of her waistband when she fell as she
reached for some candy.In 2012, Plehanov was ac-
quitted on charges alleging sexual interference and sexual assault involving several girls in Tri-City classrooms in which he was a substitute teacher.
Plehanov will be sentenced on Sept. 1.

Metro utilities committee chairman Darrell Mussatto said the regional district is simulta-neously embarking on a two-year study of the pros and cons of residential metering, as well as potential alternatives.
“It’s not a slam dunk,” Mussatto said, noting meters are very costly — $400 to $1,000 per home to install plus around $50 a year for reading and bill-ing.
Homes are already charged based on how much water they use in a few cities — Richmond, West Vancouver and in parts of Surrey.
Where meters are used they help reduce consumption, but Mussatto said the region needs to carefully consider what else could be done with the money instead.
More enforcement against water wastrels is one alterna-tive.
“If we go to stage 2, for exam-ple, and you’re only allowed to water your lawns once a week, if people are watering outside that could we get the same type of compliance a lot cheaper through bylaw officers?”
A key consideration is the fact that reducing the water used doesn’t in itself save the system much money overall.
The vast majority of Metro’s
water costs are for the infra-structure to treat and deliver it, not the water itself. Those system costs don’t vanish just because water use drops.
Conservation just helps delay when the next big expensive project to increase the supply is needed.
“If we put water meters in, what it does is shift who pays the bill, it doesn’t reduce the bill a tremendous amount,” Mussatto said.
The big losers who’d pay more under metering would be single family houses with lawns to water, he added, while multi-family unit dwellers would pay less.
And since meters will add fixed costs, the total cost of the water system would go up, potentially by hundreds of mil-lions of dollars.
“It’s not cheap,” Mussatto said. “If you do go to water me-ters, it may mean paying more for less water.”
Metro is also looking at shorter term options to further cut per capita water use on peak days, which has been declining by about two per cent a year.
The regional district also has options for getting more water if needed over the mid-term.
Officials expect that they could buy extra water from BC Hydro from the Coquitlam reservoir to meet expected de-
mand over the next 10 years.After that, Mussatto said, a
deeper intake at Coquitlam could allow the region to draw more from a lower level, provid-ing extra supply for another two decades.
Thirty years out or more, he said, is the expected time frame for potentially needing to raise the height of the Seymour dam to store more water.
Snowpacks above Metro Vancouver are only slightly below normal so far and well above the same time last year, so officials are optimistic for now that the water supply will
be sufficient without imposing extreme restrictions.
One other tweak to the rules is that businesses that were banned last year from aesthetic pressure washing at stage 2 will be allowed to continue this year. Pressure washing was previ-ously allowed only for health and safety reasons once stage 2 was declared.
The region has also clarified the rules allowing the sprinkling of nematode-treated lawns by permit to reduce chafer beetle infestations.

Big storage facility gets a tentative OK
PORT COQUITLAM
Lack of jobs was a concern for city councillorsJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News
A rezoning bid by a storage company in Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle isn’t sitting well with some city councillors.
On April 11, council voted to allow the Circadian Group’s application to proceed despite concerns about the number of jobs — very few — the busi-ness would generate.
Coun. Brad West, chair of the city’s smart growth com-mittee, said a storage facility would only have up to five em-ployees at the massive site — 620 storage units in 20,000 sq. ft. over three floors — located directly south of the Carnoustie Golf Club at 585 Seaborne Ave. He said he’d hoped the Dominion lands would create more jobs as it was originally intended to be a light industrial zone.
Still, West said storage is needed given the existing com-
mercial businesses nearby.Coun. Mike Forrest agreed.
“I can hold my nose and put up with it,” he said of the pro-posed tenant, adding, “This is a reinforcement of some of the needs of what is there now.”
The rezoning bid is expected to go to public hearing next month.

NEW TAX NOTICESProperty tax bills from the
city of Port Coquitlam will have a new look this year.
On April 11, the city’s fi-nance committee voted for a clearer depiction on the bill of what cash the municipality
collects for its programs and services versus what it collects on behalf of other government agencies. These include the province, Metro Vancouver, TransLink, BC Assessment and the Municipal Finance Authority.
The move comes after the committee last year requested city staff use more distinct labels and shading to indicate how taxpayers’ dollars are spent.
The redesign of the tax no-tice, which will also include a newsletter, cost $8,500. Property taxes are due July 4.

PoMo needs to fill top job at city hall
PORT MOODY
City administra-tor to leave post on June 29SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
Port Moody’s top job is up for grabs now that city man-ager Kevin Ramsay has offi-cially announced he’ll be leav-ing his post as of June 29.
Ramsay came to PoMo from a similar role in Squamish in April 2012 and now, with 34 years of municipal work under his belt, he says it’s time for someone else to take the reins.
“I’ve been in the business for 34 years and it’s time to do other stuff,” he said last week.
Ramsay will take a position
on the board of directors for WorkSafe BC following his de-parture from PoMO and, apart from that, he aims to keep his workload light.
“I don’t want to work more than 1,000 hours per year,” he told The Tri-City News. “That’s my limit.”
Ramsay oversaw a sig-nificant period of change at PoMo’s bureaucratic helm, most significantly a thorough reorganization that changed the city’s leadership structure.
“We went through every piece of the operation in each business line and have ended up with a number of improve-ments that are positive both from an employee perspec-tive and, more importantly, in terms of cost effectiveness,” Ramsay said. “We’ve imple-
mented a lot of leadership competencies and practices that will really stand the test of time.”
PoMo Mayor Mike Clay said Ramsay took on a chal-lenging job that involved a number of difficult organi-zational changes and “has done a great job,” particularly in implementing a number of improvements in the city’s operations.
The Davies Park executive search firm touts the PoMo city manager’s job as “an excellent opportunity for a seasoned and progressive leader” who will shepherd the city through a time of growth and change with the coming of the Evergreen Line in 2017.

McDonald’s. Midas. Boston Pizza. Over 76,000fast food eateries, �tness facilities, auto shops,convenience stores and other franchised outletscompete for our attention in Canada. One out ofevery �ve of our retail and service dollars is spentat franchises.
Franchising is a booming phenomenon (generatingover $100 billion in sales each year). If you startin business as a franchisee, you have an 80%chance of success, much greater than if you starta new business on your own. So should you jumpon the franchise bandwagon?
Franchising is simply a way to distribute productsand services. Typically, the franchisee pays afee and ongoing royalties to the franchisor whoprovides a complete business package for startingand running the business. The package mightinclude the business name (McDonald’s), businessmanuals, trademarks and logos (McDonald’s“Arch Deluxe” hamburgers), employee uniforms,techniques (how to make that special burger),accounting systems, etc.
Running a franchised business tends to appealto more conservative entrepreneurs. If you’rethe innovative type, a franchise might provetoo restrictive on the way you want to conductbusiness. For example, the franchisor of a“Schnitzel Baron” restaurant in Matsqui gota court order preventing the franchisee, whowas trying to improve pro�tability, from selling“Deep Fried Perogies with Sourcream & Onion”,“Octoberfest Sausage on a Buttered Bun” andother menu items not authorized by the franchisor.
Still, the bene�ts may outweigh the disadvantages– for both parties. The franchisee gets thefranchisor’s proven name and track record plus its
operating systems. The franchisor gets to rapidlyexpand its business without investing too muchcapital. But it can’t �re a franchisee as readily as itcould an employee, because the franchisee is anindependent business person.
If you plan to become a franchisee, carefully checkthe expected pro�tability of your proposed outlet.Speak with any existing franchisees and visit theirlocations. Is there real recognition associated withthe franchise name? A business well- known inOntario may be unknown in B.C.
Until recently-introduced franchise legislationbecomes law in B.C., the franchise agreementmainly controls your rights and obligations.Usually, this legal contract covers in detail theperiod of time you have the franchise for, thefranchise territory (e.g., all of Coquitlam or just �veblocks on one busy street), any franchisor trainingprogram, the hours and days of operation of thebusiness, the product or service, payments to thefranchisor of advertising fees and so on.
Standard franchise agreements are typically one-sided in favour of the franchisor, with little roomto manouevre. Your lawyer will go over all that’sinvolved, and may be able to negotiate changesthat suit your speci�c situation better.
A franchise can be a great way to start a business.But it’s critical you know what you’re getting intobefore you start slinging those burgers.

PoMo Ecological Society celebrates with May 7 eventBY DIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
Long before the ad-vent and explosion of Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter and Netflix, a small group of passionate people got together to bring salmon back to their neighbourhood creek.
It was 1991 and Noons Creek in Port Moody, once the site of First Nations fishing grounds, was empty of salmon. It was so bad that an area resident col-lected salmon eggs and built a mini hatchery.
That spark ignited plans for the Noons Creek Hatchery.
Today, generations of young people are learning about salmon and the importance of fish to the environment, getting up close to the creatures, leaving technology behind, even if just for a couple of hours, thanks to the Port Moody Ecological Society (PMES), which is cel-ebrating its 25th year.
Executive members Dave Bennie and Brian Wormald say people show up at the hatchery, built by PMES volunteers, while on a walk around Shoreline Park. The visitors are always impressed that salmon are being raised from eggs to fry at a hatchery just minutes from downtown PoMo and a short stroll from the rec centre.
“It’s amazing,” said Bennie, whose father, Doug Bennie, was an original PMES member and has an interpretive trail named for him. “I’m seeing children of the kids who first visited here when we were just getting started.”
In fact, not a day goes by with-out some visitors showing up to throw fish food pellets into the coho rearing pond and watch the tiny fish gobble it up in a frenzy. “We get a lot of local peo-ple that didn’t know it existed,” said Brian Wormald, PMES pres-ident, of the hatchery. “We do a lot of community outreach.”
In fact, over the years, PMES has become a voice for envi-ronmental stewardship in the region, promoting care for trees, plant life and creatures. Elaine Golds, one of the region’s pre-eminent environmental-ists, is one of its directors and members include people who are also involved with nearby Mossom Creek Hatchery.
Volunteers have dug ponds to raise fish, built a shelter to house tanks and troughs, and carved out interpretive trails, complete with boardwalks, to encourage people to get close to the creek and marvel at the salmon life cycle.
There is also a water quality testing lab on site and bursaries are given out to qualified stu-dents to help them with their post-secondary education.
But what really gets PMES volunteers in front of the com-munity is the Fingerling Festival, held each May when the chum salmon fry are released into Noons Creek. This annual event, which started with 5,000 fish fry being released 25 years ago (at the time the fry had to be trucked to the event because there was no hatchery), has become a major attraction in PoMo, with 5,000 people expected to attend.
This year, the free event is slated for Saturday, May 7, with as many as 40,000 chum fry to be released into the creek, mostly by children, dozens of displays and activities offered, as well as entertainment by children’s performers Bobs and Lolo, and a by-donation barbecue.
Rain or shine, this is a great opportunity to see nature at work and to leave the tech toys at home, even if just for a little while.
• Port Moody Fingerling Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, May 7. More than 100 volunteers are needed for a variety of jobs at the event (minimum two-hour com-mitment between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.). Call the Noons Creek Hatchery office at 604-469-9106 for more information or visit www.noonscreek.org.

Perennial Gardening Tips...• Before planting, add bone meal along with a layer of
organic matter (Compost, peat moss or manure are allgood choices) to the planting area and mix well.
• Keep each perennial’s light and soil requirements inmind – hostas & ferns like shade, cottage pinks lovethe sun and a sweet soil!
• When planting, give each plant the appropriate amountof garden space – many will grow quickly to theirmature size & prefer not to be over-crowded.
• Some taller plants might need extra support – use astake, peony ring or obelisk. This is bestdone at beginning of the season.
• Many perennials offer gorgeousflowers, others like heucheras& hostas, are valued for theirinteresting or colourful foliage.With 100's to choose from,there’s a perennial foreveryone!

Check out children’s lit classicsTRI-CITY LIBRARIES
Are you looking for a great book to share with your child? Discover the
timeless magic of the following memorable children’s classics, books that have fascinated gen-erations of children and adults and are still popular today.
Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery is the story of Anne Shirley, everyone’s favourite redhead. When Anne arrives at Green Gables, she surprises everyone. First, she’s a girl and they had asked for a boy to help out on the farm. And she’s not just any girl: She has bright red hair, a wild imagi-nation and she can talk a mile a minute. “Isn’t it splendid to think about all the things there are to learn about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive — it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
White Fang by Jack London is a classic adventure novel. Set in the desolate, frozen wilds of Canada’s northwest, it is the story of White Fang, a part–dog part-wolf cub that is the sole survivor of its litter. All alone, White Fang has to learn how to survive in this harsh land. In the words of Jack London, “The
Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.” The Call of the Wild, also writ-ten by Jack London, is another classic adventure novel.
Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White is a classic of children’s literature that is “just about perfect.” This Newbury Honour book is a tender novel of love, life and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come. Wilbur, the pig, is the runt of the litter born on the farm of Fern’s father. When her father announces he is going to kill the pig, Fern begs her father to spare Wilbur. Her father spares the pig but only if Fern agrees to look after it. “Some pig. Humble. Radiant.” These were the words in Charlotte’s web, high in the barn. Charlotte’s spider web tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur who simply wants a friend. “But we
have received a sign Edith — a mysterious sign. A miracle has happened on this farm…. in the middle of the web there were the words ‘Some Pig’… we have no ordinary pig.”
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen has become a modern classic. It is the story of 13-year-old Brian Robeson’s survival following a plane crash. Stranded in the desolate wilderness, Brian uses his instincts and his hatchet to survive for 54 days. “When he sat alone in the darkness and cried and was done, all done with it, nothing had changed. His leg still hurt, it was still dark, he was still alone and the self pity had accomplished noth-ing.”
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, perhaps the author’s best known story, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014. Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka, the Oompa Loompas and Grandpa Joe are the hilari-ous characters in this wonder-ful book. “Something crazy is going to happen now, Charlie thought. But he wasn’t fright-ened. He wasn’t even nervous. He was just terrifically excited.” Mr. Willy Wonka, the eccentric owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, has de-cided to open the doors of the factory to five lucky children and their parents. “In your wildest dreams you could not imagine that such things could happen to you. Just wait and see.”
If you are looking for more great titles, don’t hesitate to ask at your local public library. Librarians are always happy to recommend books for you and your children to read.
A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published
on Wednesdays. Dianne Allan works at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox

Coq. Foundation to help 125thCOQUITLAM 125
The Coquitlam Foundation has established a unique fund to mark the city of Coquitlam’s 125th anniversary this year — and is calling for donations to boost that fund.
The Coquitlam Foundation 125 Legacy Fund is aimed at enabling community legacy projects.
And in a release last week,
foundation chair Janet Toddington called for citizens to help endow the fund with $125,000 by the end of 2016.
“This fund is designed to en-able individuals and groups to both celebrate and enhance our community and, by so doing, leave a legacy for future gen-erations,” said the foundation’s executive director, Jill Cook.
Examples of legacy projects that might be funded include: public art, book publications, video productions, musical compositions, restoration proj-ects, community infrastructure (gardens, trails, etc.) projects and commemorative plaques.
Those interested in donating now or applying for a grant in the future should email info@
coquitlamfoundation or phone 604-468-9598.
The foundation will distrib-ute its 2016 grants, bursaries and scholarships at its awards night June 9 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre.

Walter started playing pickleball two and half years ago when hewas challenged by a friend. In addition to playing pickle ball, Walterplays slow pitch on three teams, two to four games per week, andcurls two days a week. Walter also regularly exercises at home threeor four times a week.
While he has taken a few medals home, Walter says that for him it’snot about the competition as much as “participating, having fun andpeople collecting”. Another bene�t to participating is the travelling.His goal in participating in the 55+ games is to “get through themwith no down time and to meet another 50 people”.
Walter has an engineering degree and worked as an engineer formany years before retiring. His advice to all athletes young or 55+is to “get out there and do it”. Walter has participated in one 55+games.

Make your renovation dreams come true
◗ BEFORE
It is important to hire professionals to transform your largest � nancial investment into the home you will enjoy for many years to come. Just as you would reach out to professionals to manage your other investments, I recommend working with professional renovators to protect your home investment.
Speaking with multi award-winning GVHBA renovator-member Ralph Belisle of TQ Construction, Ralph shared a recent project with me which exempli� es the leading edge work our members offer homeowners.
As the story goes,
the family had lived in their home for 20 years. They decided to move into a new home with more space, but it was never quite right – so they turned back and renovated the home they loved. Neo-Georgian style with a 20 year-old design, TQ Construction blended feature the owners sought out in a new home with the desired upgrades. One of the major features of the renovation included a redesign of the attic into usable space. The open attic concept required a new roof support designed to be capable of holding a typical roof load weight without using vertical beams.

COURTESY OF ECO-FASHION WEEK
Coquitlam’s Tetyana Golota debuted her new line of Ukrainian culture-inspired designs at Eco Fashion Week in Vancouver last week. The Ukrainian native, who owns Around My House consignment store in Port Moody, had eight pieces on the catwalk — six of which she stitched up in four months after her mother returned from the Ukraine last December with a pile of handwoven fabric and accessories from their village. Golota learned how to sew from her grandmother. Now, she is designing another collection for the Vancouver Art Gallery and is preparing for an eco-fashion even in Australia in November. “It’s amazing what’s happening,” she said, “but I like to create.” This year, Vancouver’s Eco Fashion Week marked its 10th season of showcasing sustainable garments.

Students gear up for premier next week of period pieceJUSTIN BEDDALLTHE Tri-CiTy NEws
As Dr. Charles Best sec-ondary drama teacher Brad Case enters the backstage door for a full costume rehearsal for the school’s latest production, a stu-dent-actor asks: “Hair up or down?”
“It’s period. You need to look like an old, rich squire in the 1760s,” says Case, quickly moving to the stage.
This year’s school production is Tom Jones, an 18th century comedy based on a novel by Henry Fielding about a young man who can’t marry the woman of his dreams be-
cause she’s the daughter of a rich nobleman.
“It’s about their impos-sible love story,” says Case.
The production opens on Wednesday, April 27 and there’s a buzz inside the school’s rehearsal the-atre.
“At any given time, it’s or-ganized chaos,” says Case. “But it’s a wonderful, safe place to be. It’s high-anxiety time. It’s a time when they are having a tremendous amount of fun leading up to it but there there’s also the tunnel of nerves that they enter into where they are coming up on opening night.”
The cast of 24 students has been rehearsing four days a week since February and, this month, in prepa-ration for opening night, they’ve also been practising on Saturdays.

PoCo’s Stories puts spotlight on the arts
TRI-CITY EXHIBITS
JUSTIN BEDDALLThe Tri-CiTy News
Bluesman and music teacher Steve Sainas won a Juno in 2015 but his latest accolade is just as cool.
The longtime music teacher at Terry Fox secondary is one of a dozen local artists and groups that will be featured in a new exhibition entitled PoCo’s Stories that honours their con-tributions to Port Coquitlam’s arts and culture scene.
“It’s a huge honour,” Sainas said of the hometown recogni-tion.
Sainas said he’s most excited by the fact that the exhibit puts a spotlight on how important the arts are to the community.
The PoCo’s Stories exhibit, put on by the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society, also features Tom Argue, Colin Craig, Nikki Hillman, Alexine Law, Graham Myers, Gerry Thompson, Adrian Walker, Thelka Wright, The Bird and the Lion, Coastal Sound Music Academy and Vita Artes Performance Academy.
Sainas started the Rock School program at Terry Fox and was honoured at the 2015 Junos with the MusiCounts Teacher of the Year honour. While his name was etched on
the Juno, he said the honour was “shared recognition” with his students, past and present.
“It’s about what the kids have done over the years,” he said.
Sainas, a blues player who performs up to three gigs a week, said he’s inspired by the talent, energy and enthusiasm of his students. “Every day I come in and the kids are just so stoked to play music.”
Two of his students — one current and one former — are also being featured in the PoCo’s Stories exhibit: Elaina Beaunaventura and Mandy Costa, who together have
formed the group Bird & Lion. Sainas was given the choice
between speaking or perform-ing at the exhibit opening on April 23 and, not surprisingly, he chose the latter.
He will play a song he wrote called “Gastown Blues,” which laments the loss of live music venues in downtown Vancouver. “To remind people we need to support live music and the arts or we will lose them.”
PoCo’s Stories exhibit opens April 23, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Heritage at Leigh Square. For more information, go to poco-heritage.org.

“It’s an open audition process,” Case says. “We try to make it as much like real-life theatre as we can. It’s not a class they can sign up for… this is an extracur-ricular commitment that they have to audition for and earn.
For the most part, the entire production is student-run, from creating the costumes to staging the production, which is handled by students from the drama department’s stagecraft program.
Being part of a theatre production requires a tre-mendous commitment of time and energy but the life lessons learned can be car-ried beyond the stage.
“[The students get] a tremendous sense of com-munity and accomplish-ment,” says Case. “An undy-ing sense of dedication to a group, something bigger than just themselves. They
understand that it doesn’t matter if they are a support-ing player with two lines who moves sets throughout the play or whether they are the lead. We try to oper-ate on an ego-free theatre where everybody has equal status. So they get taught that standard of respect.”
THE DETAILSTom Jones, which Case
describes as “Benny Hill meets Downton Abbey but not quite as naughty as Mr. Hill’s work,” opens Wednesday, April 27, and runs April 28, 29 and 30 and then again May 4, 5, 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the door: students and seniors, $10; adults, $12.

It was a good day for the Premier Baseball League team, which defeated the visiting Vancouver Island club 11-1 in the first game and 3-0 in the second.
Two wins for Reds in weekend action PREMIER BASEBALL
Reds move into sixth place with pair of victoriesGARY MCKENNATri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Reds’ batters came alive during a double-header against the struggling Victoria Eagles last Sunday at Mundy Park.
The Premier Baseball League team was already up 2-0 going into the fourth inning of the first game, where they posted two more runs and six more in the fifth.
Both Wyatt Gilson and
Matthew Clay had two runs and an RBI, while Sam Lantela had two runs along with Nikko Millas, who had two runs and batted in two more in the scor-ing barrage.
When the dust finally settled in the first game, the Reds were up 11-1 after six innings of play, with pitcher Kole Benard taking his second win of the season.
Coquitlam was not quite so dominant on offence in the second game but they didn’t need to be.
Three runs was all it took to deal Victoria its seventh loss of the season, with Reds pitcher Indigo Diaz notching his second win of the year on
the mound.Coquitlam got all of its scor-
ing out of the way in the sec-ond, with Dignan Ius, Clay and Lachlan Hunter all touching home plate before the inning was out.
With the victories, the Reds move into sixth place with a 4-2 record, behind the North Delta Blue Jays (3-1) and the Okanagan Athletics (3-5).
The club will hit the road this weekend for a meeting with the Jays at Mackie Park on Sunday starting at 11 a.m. For more information and a complete schedule go to www.bcpbl.pointstreaksites.com.

“I’m very excited to be playing hockey for the Mount Royal Cougars next season,” he said in a press release. “Thank you to the Coquitlam Express family for help-ing me get to this next level, I can’t wait to start my next chapter of hockey and life at the university.”

Coquitlam has been on a solid run for the last few weeks.
The club defeated Mountain FC 1-0 on a road trip last week-end and took down Thompson Okanagan FC 4-2 at Town Centre on April 9.
Meanwhile, Coquitlam SC’s under-17 team is heading in the opposite direction in the standings against its mostly under-18 opponents.
The club fell 2-1 to Fusion SC’s under-18 team on Sunday and couldn’t muster a win against Thompson Okanagan’s under-18 squad last weekend
at Town Centre. Coquitlam’s under-17 team
is currently in the middle of the standings, ahead of Mountain and behind Surrey with a 4-2-1 record. The under-18 Coquitlam SC team is gear-ing up for a meeting with Coastal FC at Town Centre this Sunday, while the under-17 team will play Surrey United in Cloverdale on Saturday.
