Fireworks cancelled in PoCo so Coq. busy for C-DayJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam had a few more revellers at its Canada Day fireworks display Wednesday night after Port Coquitlam sud-denly cancelled its light show.

High wind gusts and dry weather caused PoCo Fire and Emergency Services to scrap that city’s annual July 1 fire-works display, which was set to begin at 10 p.m. at Castle Park.

That meant Coquitlam was the only municipality in the Tri-Cities to have a show, the sounds of which could be heard in PoCo and PoMo.

PoCo deputy fire chief Terry Hochstetter told The Tri-City News on Thursday he made the call to the city shortly be-fore 7 p.m. as his crews were en route to a house fire on Burns Road, in the north part of Port Coquitlam.

CANADA DAY CELEBRATIONS IN THE TRI-CITIES

Nobody wins with the No vote: ClaySARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay is disappointed but not surprised that Metro Vancouver voters came out heavily on the No side in the transit refer-endum, saying the plebiscite shifted focus from a regional transit plan to a resounding re-jection of TransLink.

PoMo residents were more closely tied than in other mu-

nicipalities, voting 42.61% in favour of the plan and 57.39% against it (11,386 votes total,

just a little over half the city’s eligible voters).

Clay said he hopes the vote spurs the provincial govern-ment to look more closely at the Mayors’ Council’s requests to reform TransLink.

In the meantime, he said, nobody really wins with the No vote.

“It doesn’t matter where you are, this plan was a regional plan and it was intended to move goods and people around the region more effec-tively,” Clay said.

support for plan not enough: MooreJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

The need for more public transit was the number one issue Port Coquitlam candi-dates heard on the doorstep in the last municipal election.

Yet two thirds of residents who cast ballots in the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite voted against a 0.5% sales tax to get better services.

It’s a result that has PoCo

Mayor Greg Moore, the lead campaigner for the Yes side, wondering what went wrong.

“I’m a little surprised, chatting with people on Shaughnessy Street and other places,” said Moore, who is also the Metro Vancouver board chair. “I got a sense there was more support for the [mayors’] plan to address the growth in the region. And I think, at the end of the day, there was sup-port for the plan.”

Still, he believes the ma-jority had concerns about TransLink’s accountability and used the ballot as a tool to demonstrate their frustrations.

Wind, hail and bears all greeted Dutch cyclistSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

For a Dutch man looking to follow in Terry Fox’s cross-coun-try footsteps, Michael van Beek sure got walloped by Canada.

But despite the driving wind, snow, giant hail and wild thun-derstorms, funnel clouds and more bears than he cared to see, van Beek persevered and pedalled from St. John’s, N.L. on April 12 and arrived in Port Coquitlam in time to visit Fox’s grave on June 28, the 34th an-niversary of his death.

His trip was a way to hon-our a young man who made a significant impression on van Beek and to recuperate from

his own health scare.And its roots date back to the

Marathon of Hope.Van Beek was a teenager

visiting Canada with his family in 1980 when they watched Fox running near Ottawa.

“It made a huge impression on me,” van Beek said. “It stuck with me all my life.”

Fast forward to 2012 and van Beek, a financial manager with a local government in Holland, was beset by health issues ranging from vision and mem-ory loss to continuous fatigue. He thought he was burned out by the stress of his job but, after several months of tests, he learned he had the autoim-mune disease sarcoidosis.

“I was laying in the sun feel-ing sorry for myself, thinking I was going to lose my job… and suddenly it was almost like I could hear the voice of Terry, and I thought, there’s hope, I

have to fight for it and follow my dreams,” van Beek told The Tri-City News. “I promised myself if I got better I would do something about it.”

That idea burgeoned into plans to cycle across Canada, partly in honour of van Beek’s

grandfather, a man who had built all of van Beek’s bikes as a kid and even taught him how to ride, and who recently died of cancer.

His doctor gave him the green light but cautioned it would be challenging trip even for a young person who didn’t have sarcoidosis. It took some time to convince his wife and kids but things got easier after van Beek was featured on a na-tional Dutch news program.

“They had some images of Terry Fox and that made a huge change,” van Beek said, noting that most people he talked to, apart from runners, hadn’t known Fox’s story. “People started to see why I was doing it.”

So he trained for a year and a half, telling his story on his blog and through social media, and stood on the east coast on April 12 at 8 a.m., just as Fox had

done 35 years earlier, ready to cross Canada on two wheels.

But it was a cold start and, by the end of the first day, van Beek had serious doubts. He stopped for the night at the Moorland Motel and con-fessed to the owner that he didn’t think he could go on.

“She said to wait until the next morning and see how you feel then,” adding she wouldn’t charge him for the room, van Beek said. It was the same room Fox had slept in 35 years earlier.

“I cried there. That was a change for me,” van Beek said. “That guy didn’t give up and I won’t give up either.”

He continued through gru-elling headwinds over the prai-ries and had to race for shelter when a massive thunderstorm, complete with funnel clouds, rolled toward him. There were sleepless nights tenting in the pouring rain and a few

too-close encounters with bears — and, in mid-June, the realization that he wasn’t going to make it to the west coast in time to meet his family for a planned holiday starting July 4.

Van Beek decided if he had to skip that last part of his trip, he’d do it in time to visit Fox’s grave in Port Coquitlam on June 28. There, he was visited by yet another bear and, later in the morning, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore and members of city council.

“For me that was a big thing to honour Terry. I think he was an amazing guy.”

SUBMITTED PHOTOSMichael van Beek saw Terry Fox running while on a vacation near Ottawa in 1980, when he was a teenager. In April of this year, recovering from health issues, he started a cross-Canada bike ride. On Sunday, that ride took him to Fox’s grave in Port Coquitlam to mark the 34th anniversary of his death.

Port Mann Bridge path opened on Canada Day

The new Port Mann Bridge cycling connection opens up the city of Surrey to cyclists but does little to improve transpor-tation options for Coquitlam cyclists, who will still find it dif-ficult to access the new bridge path.

That’s the conclusion of HUB Cycling, which posted comments and pictures of the route on its Facebook page after the new path opened on Canada Day.

“In Coquitlam, issues related to signage, ongoing

construction and the lack of sufficient protected or sepa-rated bike lanes present a chal-lenge to all but those who are comfortable cycling alongside fast-moving traffic,” the group reports.

Still, for those interested in exploring the new multi-use path, it’s best to start and end the trip in Surrey because the two-way trip is more suitable for all ages and abilities, ac-cording to HUB. Details and a map are available at HUB on Facebook.

In Coquitlam, the 3 m wide, barrier-separated path starts at Fawcett Road and United Boulevard.

Safety key concern in fireworks cancellation

CANADA DAY CELEBRATIONS

“I have been up to Castle Park every year for Canada Day,” he said, “and, this year, there were very strong winds that the trees were bending east.”

The tall, dry grass also caused a hazard to the homes nearby.

Hochstetter said with so many distress calls happening that day to respond to fires, car accidents and assaults, he

didn’t want to take the risk and have property damaged dur-ing the fireworks as well. As a result, the live music sets ran longer.

A few hundred people were in the park at the time the cancellation announcement was made; city officials and Mayor Greg Moore also took to Facebook and Twitter to spread the message.

The PoCo fire department volunteers its time to help Sunset Fireworks with the

pyrotechnics. The cost for this year’s show was $10,000, which was funded by the Onni Group and Canadian Heritage.

Meanwhile, several thou-sand revellers gathered at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park to celebrate Canada’s 148th year with pyrotechnics.

Presented for the fifth time by Archangel Fireworks, the display was held on the west side of Lafarge Lake this year.

Metro Van voters say No by 61.8%TRANSPORTATION REFERENDUM

JEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS

Metro Vancouver voters have resoundingly defeated a proposal to add a 0.5% sales tax in the region to fund transit and transportation expansion.

The proposed Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax that would have funded $7.5 billion in upgrades over 10 years was re-jected with 61.7% of voters say-ing No and 38.3% saying Yes.

The Yes side lost in every major city of the region — even in Vancouver where it got 49.1% — and only won in sparsely populated areas like Belcarra and Bowen Island in the mail-in plebiscite con-ducted over 10 weeks.

Elections BC received more than 798,000 ballots — 51% of all registered voters — but more than 38,000 ballots were rejected.

The defeat leaves the region without an estimated $250 million in new revenue the tax would have brought to expand transit.

Surrey and Vancouver are expected to try to cobble to-gether their own plan B strate-gies to built light rail in Surrey and a SkyTrain extension west along Broadway.

But the region will be with-out the funding required for a broad 25% expansion of bus service, including many more frequent express bus routes that had been in the mayors’ plan, nor will it have money for increased SkyTrain, HandyDart, night bus or SeaBus service that was to have swiftly kicked in after a Yes vote.

Yes forces had argued defeat would worsen congestion as the population grows and de-mand pressures intensify on a frozen transit system, spurring more transit users to drive instead.

No campaign head Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation exploited many voters’ unwillingness to pay more — especially to TransLink — and argued more money could be found if cities restrained their own spending and tax growth.

He successfully framed the campaign as a vote on TransLink, which he accused of mismanagement and which had come off major SkyTrain breakdowns and a failure to fully launch its new Compass card payment system on time.

Bateman called the result a “tremendous victory for tax-payers” and said the No victory was achieved on a shoestring against heavy odds.

“They had big business, big government, big labour, big environment and big money. But they didn’t have the people.”

He called for a core review of TransLink to seek more sav-ings.

Mayors never wanted the referendum and repeatedly said something as crucial to the region as transit expansion should not go to a public vote.

They had previously wrung a pledge from former premier Gordon Campbell to allow a new transit revenue source.

But Premier Christy Clark reneged and promised in the 2013 provincial election a new tax source for TransLink would only be allowed if it was ap-proved by local voters.

Left with only that path to new funding, mayors agreed last year to the vote and chose a hike in the provincial sales tax from 7.0 to 7.5% within Metro, rather than other op-tions, such as a vehicle levy.

With the sales tax rejected, mayors could still raise TransLink property taxes, which is an existing source. That option has been repeat-edly suggested by the premier but mayors insist it’s still not on the table.

“There is no Plan B,” said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, chair of the mayors’ council insisted. “Property tax is not an option to fund the mayors’ plan. Therefore we need an alternate solution from the B.C. government.”

Instead mayors are punt-ing the problem back to the province and threatening to pull out of the TransLink gov-ernance structure — effectively leaving all decisions and re-sponsibility to the province — unless the Clark government reforms TransLink and finds a funding solution in the next six months.

“TransLink is their creation,” Robertson said. “The ball’s back in the province’s court for next steps.”

[email protected]@jeffnagel

DIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam voters cast ballots two to one against the mayor’s council transit plebiscite but that doesn’t mean they’re against transit and transportation improve-ments, says the city’s mayor.

Richard Stewart said that despite the best efforts of the Yes campaign to convince voters of the upside of add-ing 0.5% onto the provincial sales tax — including more buses, better roads and cy-cling infrastructure — and the gridlock that would worsen without the invest-ment, the vote ended up being a referendum on TransLink governance and accountability.

He’s waiting to see what the province will come up with next to improve

TransLink and increase transportation funding, without which many im-portant projects will be in limbo. For example, the extra money provided by the tax would have helped pay for connecting buses to the Evergreen Line when it opens next year, Stewart said.

Now, the city might have

to consider putting in more parking spaces, at $40,000 apiece, which will end up costing more than buses in the end.

“TransLink was created by the province, it was ended by the province, it was ad-justed by the province and, some would say, it has been messed up by the province,” Stewart said.

“We desperately need a massive investment into regional transportation but voters are clearly uncomfort-able with TransLink. Until we make governance changes to TransLink, there can be no investment in truly regional transportation. That means that cities like Coquitlam will have to do what we can indi-vidually to tackle the conges-tion issues.”

REFERENDUM REACTION

MAYOR RICHARD STEWART

CONTINUED FROM FRONTCLAy: more CoNgesTioN

“There will be more congestion, less transit service, more gridlock and cars sitting idly” due to the No vote.

The mayors’ plan included an increase in bus service, up-grades to existing SkyTrain lines, new transit exchanges, more West Coast Express trains, more bike paths, more HandyDART service, adding transit to new neighbourhoods and more.

One of the key benefits of the plan was that it would have brought transportation improvements to all Metro Vancouver cities, Clay said, without municipalities compet-ing against one another for provincial and federal funding.

“But Surrey is already talking to the feds for funding for them to go ahead with their own transit improvements, Vancouver is going to work hard to get the Broadway [SkyTrain] extension,” he said. “That was the good thing about this plan: It was agreed-to priorities for the region. Now we’re back to the days of Delta competing with Port Coquitlam, and it doesn’t work.”

Clay suspects the province will suggest mayors raise prop-erty taxes — which he said councils throughout the region will “resoundingly reject” — but he hopes they see the need for TransLink reform.

“They’ve made it clear [TransLink] is their organization, it was their legislation that took power away from the mayors and councils to create an entity that’s not working well. We don’t have the power to change that.”

moore: 2ND reJeCTioNThe public also didn’t want to pay more sales tax, he said,

adding, “This is the second time a sales tax has been rejected by the voters.”

Moore also responded to comments made by PoCo Coun. Brad West, who chairs the city’s transportation solutions and public works committee, immediately after the numbers were revealed. West noted in a Twitter message that PoCo residents didn’t feel they had much to gain by voting Yes.

But the mayor said extra funding would have paid for a rapid-bus service to the Evergreen Line in Coquitlam (due to open in the fall of 2016) as well as increased bus routes to neighbourhoods. In addition, there would have been ad-ditional cash in TransLink’s Major Road Network to help build the Fremont connector, a multi-million dollar link from Burke Mountain in Coquitlam to Lougheed Highway in PoCo, that was approved by PoCo council this spring.

Moore said public transit improvements for Langley were especially vital for Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge commuters “because we can’t forget a lot of those residents drive through Port Coquitlam. Unless they had increased access to transit, it’s an accumulative effect as you move from outside of the Metro region and inside the employment corridors.”

Moore said the mayors’ council will now look for gover-nance changes from the provincial government to get the regional mayors’ plan moving forward.

Salmon, whales eat microplastics: study

THE ENVIRONMENT

JEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS

Zooplankton in the ocean are eating microscopic plastic par-ticles and passing those con-taminants up the food chain to salmon, whales and other spe-cies at an “alarming” rate.

That’s the conclusion of a new study co-authored by Peter Ross, the top ocean pollution researcher at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Science Centre.

Zooplankton are tiny crea-tures that make up a major food source for juvenile salmon, as well as baleen whales.

Microplastic particles are barely visible small fragments, fibres and granules that are widespread in the ocean due to the breakdown of plastics — from both litter, ropes and other sources such as sewage efflu-ent in major populated areas. They’re different from plastic microbeads that are deliber-ately used in toothpastes and exfoliants.

Ross and his colleagues esti-mated a juvenile salmon in the Strait of Georgia may be ingest-ing two to seven microplastic particles per day, and returning adult salmon are ingesting up to 91 particles per day.

A humpback whale could

be ingesting more than 300,000 microplastic particles a day.

“These particles could pose a serious risk of physical harm to the marine animals that consume them, potentially blocking their gut or leaching chemicals into their bodies,” Ross said.

He said the research is the first clear evidence that species at the bottom of the food web are mistaking plastics for food and potentially posing a risk to other animals.

The findings were pub-lished in June by the journal Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology.

It’s unclear yet whether microplastics in the marine food web pose a human health risk to people who consume seafood.

Exposure is thought to be lower with fish that people don’t eat whole — such as salmon — compared to shell-fish such as mussels, which an earlier European study also found to contain microplastics. That study suggested the plastic fragments may also absorb and pass along persistent organic pollutants.

Georgia Strait Alliance ex-ecutive director Christianne Wilhelmson said the findings shed new light on the threat of

virtually invisible ocean con-tamination, as opposed to more obvious marine garbage.

“We’re now really starting to understand that plastic does break down into small pieces and just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not having a potentially incredible and negative impact on the marine environment,” she said. “It demonstrates how badly we’ve been treating the oceans as a garbage dump and it’s really coming back to haunt us.”

Wilhelmson said the growing prevalence of plastic microfi-bres offshore is reversing the thinking on some practices once thought to be green.

“We recycle plastics to make fleece jackets but now we’re realizing those fleece jackets are breaking down in our laundry and those fibres are not being trapped by sewage treatment and that ends up in the ocean being part of the pollution.”

Ross joined the Vancouver Aquarium last year after the federal government in 2012 shut down his marine toxicology program within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. He was one of dozens of scientists terminated with the elimination of the national con-taminants research program.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS IS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, PUBLISHED AT 115-1525 BROADWAY ST., PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. V3C 6P6

B.C.’s housing escalators: one goes up, one goes downWhile everyone has been furiously pointing fin-

gers at one another over Vancouver’s skyrock-eting house prices, little attention has been

paid to the other side of most real estate transactions: the pay stub.

You could be forgiven for thinking that a few politicians rely a bit too much on their childhood memories of the good times when B.C. was a land of plenty to them.

It has been quite a tumble ever since, as figures from Statistics Canada show all too well.

Back in 1980, when many of B.C.’s decision-makers would have been in university, Vancouver, at $63,000, had the fourth highest median household income out of Canada’s 27 census metropolitan areas (CMAs). The average was $58,400.

By 2000, Vancouver had fallen to ninth place. Household income — in real terms — also took a dip to $62,900, just a few hundred dollars above the $62,300 average.

And then the bottom fell out.By 2012, with a median household income of $71,140,

Vancouver was in 24th place out of 28 CMAs, more than

10% off the $79,815 average. Abbotsford-Mission was dead last with a household income of $66,550.

Provincially, the drop in rank is less dramatic but in terms of income growth more alarming.

In 2000, B.C. was in third place among the provinces with a median household income of $61,506. By 2012, B.C. had dropped to fourth with $71,660.

But in terms of percentage growth, only Ontario, at 9.5%, was behind B.C., at 16.5%.

The three other western provinces left us in the dust: Manitoba (23.9%), Alberta (40%) and Saskatchewan (44.8%).

While incomes have stagnated in B.C., the cost of liv-ing hasn’t.

Between 2000 and 2012, average household expendi-tures rose by 34.4% from $55,670 to $74,837.

Even though median and average are not the same thing, putting them side by side is telling.

In 2000, the median household income in B.C. was $61,506 and average household expenditures were $55,670. By 2012, median income was $71,660 and household expenditures were $74,837.

Some may think that can’t be. Unfortunately, it can.According to the Canadian Payroll Association’s 2014

survey, 44% of those employed in B.C. are spending “all of, or more than, their net pay” 47% are living pay-cheque to paycheque.

A 2014 study by Sands and Associates, a Vancouver-based trustee and bankruptcy firm, found that many British Columbians are going into debt to buy necessities.

As well, average household debt in B.C. rose by $20,745 in 2014 to $99,834, according to BMO’s Annual Debt Report, the second highest debt load in Canada.

So put aside all the sensational headlines coming out of Vancouver that focus on price and think income, mortgage qualifying income, keeping in mind that B.C.’s median household income in 2012 was $71,660.

According to RBC Economics’s Housing Trends and Affordability report released recently, the only province where you need a six-figure income ($125,900) to buy a detached bungalow is B.C.

It’s time to face facts. For many in B.C., the dream of a white picket fence is dead. The only thing left is to ad-minister the last rites and find some alternatives.

OUR OPINION

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION?

ADRIAN RAESIDE

FINANCE & HOUSING

Over to you, Premier ClarkVoters who cast a No ballot in the Metro

Vancouver transportation plebiscite were against a sales tax hike but that doesn’t mean they’re

against transportation improvements.The ball is now in Premier Christy Clark’s court to do

something so the Lower Mainland doesn’t become a laughingstock — a beautiful, gridlocked laughingstock.

While LNG is a nice pipe-dream economic driver for the future, what is necessary now to keep businesses investing is a credible transportation plan, road pricing and a mix of stick and carrot incentives to get people out of their cars.

Of course, these issues were always on Premier Clark’s to-do list — they were, weren’t they? — but she’s going to have to sit down with the region’s mayors and come up with a plan that is workable.

And by the way, the plebiscite was always a bad idea.

Cops out in force for summer blitz

ROAD SAFETY

July calls for backyard barbe-cues or a day at the beach but ICBC and police throughout B.C., including the Tri-Cities, are reminding drivers that drinking and driving should not be part of their summer plans.

Officers will be out in force today this month for the sum-mer CounterAttack campaign to keep impaired drivers off

the roads in an effort to turn the tide on some sobering statistics from ICBC: while 10 people are killed in impaired-related crashes during the summer months in the Lower Mainland.

“Driving while impaired or riding with someone who is impaired is never worth the risk,” said Chief Officer Neil Dubord, chair of the BC

Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee, in a press release. “Not only do you risk killing yourself or someone else, but the trauma and finan-cial costs of a crash or arrest are significant and can last a lifetime.”

MundyParkEnhancements toBenefitParkUsersMundy Park is a Coquitlam jewel with 400 acres of urban forest dedicated forthe public’s use and enjoyment.

Recognizing the need to balance the needs of various park users, the City ofCoquitlam developed a Forest Management Plan for the park that was adoptedby Council in June 2015.

As part of the public consultation process for the Forest Management Plan, theCity received many comments from the public on dog conflicts in Mundy Park,and how these conflicts were impacting public enjoyment.

As such, Council recently approved a multi-pronged approach to help managethese conflicts and achieve a better balance for all park users. This includes:

· Increased Bylaw Enforcement – this is already underway using existingresources. The results of this will be monitored and will inform a futurebudget request for more Bylaw presence in the park on an ongoing basis.· Trail Enhancements and New Separate Trails – construction is planned forlater this year and plans will incorporate:1. A new permanent dog off leash trail loop in the southeast corner of thepark that will be off leash from dawn to dusk every day. This will providea 20 to 30 minute walk with an option for a shorter walk if desired and willconnect with the parking lot on Chilko and Mariner Way.2. A new “No Dogs/ Nature Trail Loop” will be connected to the Mundy Laketrail that has always been a no dogs zone due to its sensitive habitat. This willprovide a 1,750 meter nature trail loop available for those who wish to avoidencounters with dogs.3. The paved community path will remain dogs on leash only – as has alwaysbeen the case. As the attached map illustrates, the developed part of the parkincluding the playground and sports fields will remain on leash only.4. All the rest of the forest trail system will remain status quo, with dogsallowed off leash from dawn until 10 am daily. There are no plans to changethe current off leash hours.

New signage and maps will also be installed to make it easy for people to findtheir way and understand the rules.

The total cost for all of these improvements – including the overall trail systemimprovements, the “No Dogs / Nature Trail Loop” and the “Dog Off LeashLoop” is $175,000.

It is anticipated that construction on the new trails will begin later in 2015.City staff will also hold information sessions in the park to help usersunderstand the changes.

Aggressive crows? Blame the chickenFOR THE BIRDS

Complaints about chicken waste at Lilydale in PoCoSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

When aggressive crows started dive-bombing people near Thompson Park in Port Coquitlam, the residents as-sumed that, like last year, there was a nest nearby — that is, until they noticed the chicken heads in their backyards.

“One night, my girlfriend and I were sitting here and we saw a crow land on the trailer parked in front of my house and it’s got a chicken head,” said Tom, a Connaught Drive resident who didn’t want his last name used. “On Thursday, I was on my way home… as I was sitting there waiting to make a right turn, a crow is fly-ing towards me, 12 feet in the air, with a chicken head stick-ing out of its beak. Twenty min-utes later, there was another one with a chicken head.”

Tom went around the neigh-bourhood to see what was going on and noticed a large group of birds near the Lilydale chicken processing plant on Kingsway Avenue.

“You wouldn’t have believed the amount of birds gathering there, probably three or four Sundays in a row,” Tom said.

His neighbour, Colin Ernst, noticed the chicken pieces popping up in his yard nearly two months ago.

“It started with a big chicken leg with the foot, the whole thing,” Ernst said. “My daugh-ter’s like, ‘What’s that, Dad?’”

It was an oddity that turned into an inundation, with Ernst picking up chicken bits two to three times daily so his daugh-ters and their dog didn’t get to them. He tried sneaking up on the crows and surprising them to get them to fly off, leaving the chicken behind.

“I’d put the chicken heads in the garbage and every time I had one, I made a point of getting it from them… so they wouldn’t want to come here,” Ernst said, though the crows

left their mark by covering his fence with droppings.

“The only reason I’m really complaining is the health haz-ard for the kids,” Ernst said.

PoCo spokesperson Pardeep Purewal confirmed the city’s bylaw office has received complaints about the Lilydale plant improperly securing its chicken parts waste, leading to crows and other birds drop-ping chicken parts in yards near the Kingsway plant.

“Our bylaw enforcement officer has discussed the com-plaints with Lilydale’s health and safety officer and advised him that under the city’s solid waste bylaw, Lilydale is required to properly secure their waste to prevent wildlife access,” Purewal wrote in an email.

Lilydale spokesperson Stephanie Gillis-Paulgaard said the company is aware of the issue and the PoCo plant management team is “working with a third party to resolve the issue.”


COLIN ERNST PHOTOResidents near Thompson Park in Port Coquitlam have experienced dive-bombing crows of late and believe they found the source: chicken parts the crows apparently picked up at the Lilydale plant.

A neighbourhood plan-ning process is underway for Coronation Park in Port Moody, a small pocket of mostly single-family homes that will be within walking distance of the Inlet Centre Evergreen Line station.

That process kicked off last month with a community input meeting, where residents had a chance to tell council mem-bers what they’d be willing to see in their neighbourhood, which is bounded by Ioco, Barnet, Guildford Way and the Coquitlam border on Balmoral Drive, and will continue with a visioning exercise at the land use committee meeting on July 7.

Many spoke up in favour

of some new development but emphasized it needs to be respectful of current residents, particularly those who’d like to stay in the neighbourhood.

“Anywhere there’s a subway station, there’s density. It’s in-evitable, there has to be some development in Coronation Park,” said one resident, point-ing out that greater density in the area would mean a broader tax base for the city. “I’ve been here since 1960 but the times are a-changing.”

Another resident suggested Coronation Park could offer a greater mix of housing for the elderly and young families who want to get out of their cars, use transit and live, work and play in the same area. “Having single family homes… that’s not the

way anymore, it’s just not afford-able.”

Several more residents spoke about the tight-knit community and the need to preserve green space and the mature trees. Others raised concerns about construction, access to and from the neighbourhood, and parking.

The recently adopted official community plan identifies po-tential redevelopment for the Inlet Centre station area, includ-ing buildings of up to 26 storeys on Ioco Road, between Klahanie and Suter Brook and the Honda dealership property. Nearby properties on Dewdney Trunk Road, St. Johns Street and Ioco are flagged for developments of four, six and up to 12 storeys.

The changes were part of

the city’s efforts to maximize new development around the Evergreen Line stations under transit-oriented design princi-ples, with the highest density in areas within a five to 10-minute walking distance.

Coronation Park is one such pocket, sitting on prime real es-tate just across Barnet Highway from the future Inlet Centre station, but it was left out of the recent OCP update after council recognized the neighbourhood needed its own consultation process.

(An OCP workshop in fall 2012 flagged Coronation Park as an area that was ready for “sensitive infill” to transition the area from single-family homes to townhouses and duplexes, but residents balked at an initial

draft presented in early 2013, which called for a mix of mid- and highrises up to 30 storeys.)

James Stiver, PoMo’s general manager of development ser-vices, said last month’s meeting was a good opportunity for council and staff to hear directly from residents. But with feed-back ranging from requests for no new development to support for high-density towers, the road ahead will be challenging.

And with a land assembly al-ready underway, the 156 homes in Coronation Park are likely to see some form of redevelop-ment.

London Pacific, a commer-cial real estate brokerage firm, has approached residents and recently held a meeting at Old Orchard hall to discuss the land

assembly process. (The firm is also assembling land in the 2800-block of St. George and St. Johns streets.)

It’s a concern for resident Jill McIntosh, who hopes to stay in her home but is not keen on liv-ing in a construction zone.

“I want to stay in my home, so I want any development around me not to block out the sun, and for traffic to not go nuts around me,” she said. “Perhaps there’s a way for most of us to be close to what we want.”

Stiver said staff will present-ing the feedback to the land use committee on July 7. Staff will then develop terms of reference for the plan, with formal consul-tation with residents and stake-holders likely in the fall.

Churchill on paper, filmTRI-CITY LIBRARIES

Which person from history would you like to have a chat

with? My choice would be Winston Churchill and given that this year marks the 50th anniversary of his death, I de-cided to read up on him and came across two great videos, too. I hope these selections might get interested you in this fascinating man, too.

THE BOOKYoung Titan: The Making of

Winston Churchill by Michael Sheldon is a fascinating look at the young man who would become one of the world’s great leaders. The author goes into great detail about his family, his famous father, Lord Randolph, and his wife Jennie, his highbrow band of friends and the many loves of Churchill’s young life. I had no idea he was such a romantic — he seemed to fall in love at the drop of… champagne. He travelled the world and had a great understanding of inter-national affairs that many oth-ers at his level lacked. Young Titan discusses Churchill’s political life, with all the ups and downs of winning and los-ing elections, going against his own party and taking the hit for a disastrous military cam-paign. There’s a wonderful bit about his making a speech in Winnipeg that had 500 people in line for standing room tick-ets. This book made me appre-ciate the making of this truly amazing leader.

THE MOVIESIn The Gathering Storm,

Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave, two of Britain’s great actors, portray Churchill and his wife Clementine (Clemmie) during the period when he was out of office in the 1930s. He is concerned about events in Germany and seems to the only one who gives a damn. He has reverted to writing after losing much of his fortune but presses on in politics because it is his passion. His relationship with his wife has shifted somewhat but his love for her is strong. I know some of the historical facts are incorrect, as is often the case in historical mov-ies, but the acting is superb and the relationship between Winston and his wife is truly sweet, in the old sense of the world. As many have noted, seeing Finney in the admiralty uniform at the end of the movie is quite moving. This is a terrific HBO production.

With Into the Storm, Brendan Gleeson and Janet McTeer portray Winston and Clemmie just as he is named Prime Minister. I didn’t think anyone could play Winston as well as Finney but I was hap-

pily surprised at how good a job Gleeson does.

He portrays Churchill as a leader with flaws, yet resolute in what he has to do. It is the little things that make the difference in his portrayal of Churchill and he is wonder-ful. The acting by McTeer and Iain Glen (of Game of Thrones fame) makes this a richer movie. Can you tell I loved this film?

Look for these items at your local library and I encourage you to learn a little more about this fascinating era of history and this amazing leader via your medium of choice.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is usually

published on Wednesdays. Silvana Harwood works at Coquitlam

Public Library.

Invaders not from space but they’re dangerousTHE ENVIRONMENT

One of the inadvertent consequences of human settlement is

that we have often introduced new plants to areas where they have never grown.

In the early days of coloniza-tion, people sought to establish plants familiar to them. Thus, the first Scottish settlers on Vancouver Island planted broom and gorse to remind them of their homeland. But these plants were ideally suited to conditions on the west coast and soon spread throughout Vancouver Island and beyond. Today, these plants and several others are on an unwanted list of invasive species which have proven to be particularly trou-blesome invaders that usurp our natural spaces and dimin-ish their value for wildlife.

Throughout the Lower Mainland teams of volunteers working in partnership with parks staff are now valiantly en-gaged in a battle to get some of these invasives under control.

Without a doubt, the worst invasive plant is giant hogweed. It contains sap in tiny hairs cov-ering the plant that, after expo-sure to sunlight, causes severe blistering and scars. Removal of giant hogweed should only be undertaken by trained and properly clothed people.

Most municipalities now pro-vide information on their web-sites regarding the identification and elimination of invasive plant species. If you think you have identified a patch of giant hog-weed, do not attempt to remove it — call your city hall instead.

After giant hogweed, the next most invasive plant of concern is Japanese knotweed. In Great Britain, it has a reputation for growing through — and de-stroying — roads and concrete foundations.

Because of its remarkable

ability to regenerate from only a thin sliver of its rhizome, the removal of contaminated soil has been estimated to cost up to $80,000 per square meter of knotweed.

The rules in Great Britain require an excavation 2 m deep with a radius of 7 m plus place-ment of a copper membrane to protect the remaining soil.

And then, there is the chal-lenge of dealing with the contaminated soil. In fact, it is the contamination of soil with tiny pieces of knotweed that is likely mainly responsible for its spread. Several years ago, the city of Port Moody established a hedgerow of native plants at the Shoreline Park but the soil brought in for planting had been contaminated with knot-weed. In only a few years, knot-weed had taken over the site.

Knotweed was first intro-duced to Great Britain in 1850 from Japan. For many years, it was a favourite of gardeners, with its large leaves and appeal-ing spires of white blossoms that attract a variety of insects. With a growth rate of up to 10 cm a day, it has a propensity to quickly dominate a site.

While some invasive plants can be eliminated by careful hand weeding, knotweed has proven to be a bigger challenge. The proscribed method for its removal in the Lower Mainland is the injection of stems with glyphosate. Often, more than one treatment is required.

In Japan, knotweed grows on volcanic slopes, where it has evolved to survive the occasional eruption and be buried beneath hot ash, where its roots can lie dormant for several years.

For such a monster plant, it is often wise to look at nature for a solution. In Japan, there are known to be 186 insects that feast on Japanese knotweed and, thus, keep it under control. In Great Britain, the search is now

on for one of insects that will predate on knotweed but cause no problem to any of the coun-try’s native plants and domestic crops. Five years of research has narrowed the list down to a single candidate, a psyllid (plant louse), which is presently being tested to ensure there will be no unforeseen consequences for other plant species.

Should this approach prove successful, then another care-ful examination of impacts on native North American species would have to be carried out before the psyllid could be used here. Help may be on the way but it’s going to be very slow in coming.

The challenges of eliminating knotweed have not deterred the Friends of DeBoville Slough. For the past 10 years, this group of intrepid volunteers has been hand-weeding knotweed on the dikes at DeBoville in north-east Coquitlam.

While there were several small patches of knotweed (and some are still there), the first area volunteers tackled in 2005

was a veritable forest of knot-weed about 3 m in height cov-ering an area approximately 100 by 7 m on the south dike not far from the trail entrance.

They worked with the city of Coquitlam and the developer Wesbild to remove the knot-weed by hand-clipping and wisely insisted the knotweed be taken to the Burnaby incinera-tor for disposal.

With several weeding events scheduled each year, impressive progress has been made. This area, once thick with knotweed, has now been mostly replaced with a thick mat of reed canary grass, a sod-forming grass that thrives in damp soils. While this grass of low-forage value is also considered to be a somewhat invasive plant, it is actually an appropriate species for dikes as it helps stabilize the soil.

Knotweed is essentially gone from this area, with only occa-sional sparse shoots reappear-ing in spring. Keeping it under control now takes little time and allows volunteers to turn their attention to other areas of knot-weed infestation at the slough. It is hoped that, at some point, the remaining rhizomes will lose their capacity for re-growth.

community is growing into. Beginning in 1993, Aspac began reinventing the industrial waterfront strip along the northern edge of Vancouver’s downtown core into one of the city’s most presti-gious postal codes. Today, Coal Harbour is considered one of North America’s most impressive urban waterfront com-munities. It is a blend of residential towers and townhomes complete with an eight-acre waterfront park, community centre, boutique shops and a 250-berth marina. Aspac’s vision for River Green is to transform it into Richmond’s Coal Harbour.

“We don’t follow the trends in luxury real estate, we set them,” says Raymond K. Li, Director and Senior Vice Presi-

Located on the banks of the Fraser River, the River Green community is a luxury master planned

waterfront community unlike anything the city of Richmond has ever seen. It is being built by award-winning Aspac Developments Ltd., renowned for the development of Coal Harbour.

The River Green community is planned to be a unique enclave of natural attractions with 1.1 kilometres of water-front dyke trails just outside residents’ front door, as well as future boutique shopping, various lifestyle activities and cultural experiences unlike any other neighbourhood in Richmond.

Right next door, the award-winning Richmond Olympic Oval offers River Green residents access to a variety of health fitness options.

First release of 1 River Green encom-passes six towers and 458 residences, featuring one-bedroom condos to penthouses and villas. Surrounded by extensive landscaping, public art and wa-ter features, River Green blends private gardens with resort-style amenities in an East-meets-West feel.

1 River Green showcases upscale residences with waterfront and mountain views. River Green is like living in an exclusive five-star resort; with a 24-hour concierge, private shuttle service and re-sort-inspired world-class amenities. The list of services goes on and on, including a private theatre, party room with fully equipped kitchen, sauna, steam rooms and an indoor infinity pool.

Inside the homes, sophisticated inte-riors include Snaidero of Italy cabinetry,

Miele appliances, Caesarstone counter-tops, extensive floor-to-ceiling windows, marble or travertine heated floors in the washroom and marble or travertine wall tile in the ensuite.

Outside, the courtyard features inter-weaving pathways leading to landscaped islands. There are several decks with contemporary seating thoughtfully posi-tioned throughout the central courtyard, offering semi-private outdoor spaces for residents. Individual decks appear like they are floating on water and extend out from private residences on both sides of the courtyard. Hedges and semi-transparent screens ensure privacy for residents.

It isn’t surprising what the River Green

dent of Aspac. “With each project, we strive to anticipate our clients’ needs and exceed their expectations. Some of the most discerning and successful people in the world live in our homes. It is this clientele that compels us to build to an international standard of excellence.”

ELAINE FLEURY PHOTOHundreds of swimmers turned out for the Port Moody PMA Spike Meet at Westhill Pool last weekend. The meet featured athletes from across the region, including Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Coquitlam.

SPIKE MEET

Adanacs get Shamrocked at homeWESTERN LACROSSE ASSOCIATION

With two losses in a row, team falls in standingsGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Adanacs are hoping to get back on the winning track when the Maple Ridge Burrards visit the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex Saturday night.

Coquitlam has been reeling this week, suffering two losses in a row and tumbling out of the top three in the Western

Lacrosse Association stand-ings. The latest defeat came at the hands of the Victoria Shamrocks, who downed the A’s 15-3 at home last Saturday.

Vincent Ricci made it 1-0 on the power play for Coquitlam 36 seconds into the game, but that would be the last time the team held the lead, as wave after wave of Shamrocks for-wards piled up goals.

The Adanacs could not find a way to stop Victoria’s Jesse King and Dan Dawson, who each racked up six points on the night, while teammates Corey Small had two goals and three assists and Daryl Veltman

scored a hat trick and two helpers.

Both Coquitlam goalies Adam Shute and Josh Philips took a turn between the pipes during the 60 minutes of play, but neither could stop the Shamrocks’ shooters.

Shute stopped 20 of 29, while Philips’ save percentage took an even bigger beating as he stopped eight of 14.

If the A’s are looking to get back on track, this weekend’s game against Maple Ridge may be just what the team needs.

The Burrards are 3-7 so far this season and fighting to stay out of the WLA basement.

They have also allowed 95 goals, the second highest only to the Nanaimo Timbermen, who have allowed 96.

Maple Ridge will be at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex on Saturday, July 4. Face off is at 7 p.m.

JR. ADANACSMeanwhile, the Coquitlam

Jr. Adanacs are headed in the opposite direction of their se-nior counterparts.

The club is currently in first place in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League, 10 points up on the second place Delta Islanders and New Westminster

Salmonbellies.The team doubled the

Langley Thunder on the scoreboard in an 18-9 win at the Langley Events Centre last Thursday night.

The Thunder were up 3-1 when the visitors sent on a seven-goal run to firmly take the lead. Langley was able to keep things close with a few goals of their own, but two goals from Coquitlam’s Andy Campbell in the third spurred another scoring blitz, putting the game out of reach for the home team.

Volunteers needed for LPGA event in CoquitlamGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Organizers for the CP Women’s Open, which will be held at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam next month, are seeking volunteers to help run the event.

Byron Cook, the tourna-ment co-chair, said they are still looking for about 350 more volunteers to take on jobs ranging from marshaling and crowd control to directing traf-fic in the parking lot. The event will also need drivers to shuttle spectators to and from the vari-ous parking lots, which will be located around the city.

“It’s all pretty simple,” he said. “It is basically just crowd control and opening and clos-ing the ropes. It is not hard. You have to be able to stand on your feet.”

Currently, there are about 950 people ready to volunteer at the open and Cook said the event will likely need about 1,300 people to operate.

Each volunteer is required to purchase a uniform pack-age for $75. It includes an official Adidas shirt, visor or hat, a transferable guest pass, a parking pass and a volunteer badge.

Families are also being sought to billet some of the players.

Cook said about 20 people hosted players when the Women’s Open was held at the Vancouver Golf Club in 2012 and he figures the same about will be needed when the tour-nament comes to town next month.

“For a lot of people that did in 2012, they said it was a great experience,” he said. “A lot of them have continued to com-municate back and forth with the players, so it is really good.”

Those interested in volun-teering for the event can go to www.cpwomensopen.com/volunteers.php to register and find out more information.

Jr. A’s lead the league

BCJALL

Jr. Adanacs forward Tyler Pace scored four goals and four assists on the night, while Cole Shafer potted a hat trick and four assists.

The A’s were on the road again on Friday when the club visited Tri-City rivals the Port Coquitlam Saints.

Coquitlam jumped out to an 8-0 before PoCo could even get on the board when Saints forward Keegan Bell netted one early in the middle frame.

Another goal from PoCo’s Matt Symes made it 8-2, but Coquitlam kept up the pres-sure, eventually winning the match 15-4.

Pace added five more points during the game, while Cloutier had three goals and three assists.

POCO SAINTSThe Saints managed to

bounce back from the loss the next night when the team hosted the Nanaimo Timbermen.

Despite taking a 2-0 lead early in the first, the visitors fal-tered later in the period, even-tually allowing the Saints to take a 6-3 lead. When the final buzzer sounded PoCo was up 12-5, securing the club’s fifth win of the season.

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC under-15 boys team battled the heat and a tough Mountain FC squad to a 4-3 win in the B.C. Soccer Youth Provincial Premier Cup championship finals last Saturday afternoon.

Mountain jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the match, a score that would hold for the duration of the first half. However, both team’s offensive players came alive in the second, where the bulk of the scoring took place.

Aakarsh Arya tied the game for Coquitlam in the 54th minute with a suc-cessful penalty shot, be-

fore Mountain re-took the lead nine minutes later.

Coqutilam’s Andrew Peat, who was named MVP of the game, tied it again in the 66th minute with a spectacular corner kick that hooked straight in to the net.

But Mountain FC was undeterred, with the team taking the lead for a third time in the 73rd minute.

That set the stage for Trevor Zanatta’s first goal of the game, which tied the match at 3-3, before Daniel Jelenici scored the game winner in extra time.
