Port Coquitlam photographer Steve Smith had to combine a keen eye with a fast shutter speed to capture this image of an Anna’s hummingbird in his garden drinking from a crocosmia flower. “Hummingbirds are notoriously hard to photograph, so it took a lot of patience hiding behind a bush in the hot sun to finally get this.”

If strike continues, programs will, tooBy Diane Strandberg
THE TRI-CITY
Talks between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the province’s public schools bargaining body are supposed to resume on Friday but Tri-Cities recreation departments are plan-ning fall day programs for children and youth in the event the school strike continues past Labour Day.
Port Moody, Port C o q u i t l a m a n d Coquitlam all report plans are in the works to provide extended summer programming into September.
Parents are encour-aged to visit city web-sites and Facebook pages to keep abreast of programs that might be available for their youngsters should teachers con-tinue to stay off the job through the first few weeks of September.
School is supposed to resume Sept. 2 but, just in case there are no classes, the city of Coquitlam will pro-vide day camps at Pinetree and Poirier rec centres as well as Victoria Park Hall.
Port Coquitlam plans to extend sum-mer programs for the first two weeks of September, including arts and cultural pro-grams, and programs for youth. As well, the city will keep its out-door pools open, said Glenn Mitzel, PoCo’s recreation manager.
The city of Port Moody is still working out the details of its contingency plan for the fall but will have programs in place in case of further school disruption, said Ron Higo, general manager of community [email protected]

Chief talks to nationMore to come on Kwikwetlem head
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
An update about the Kwikwetlem First Nation chief’s big pay day is expected to be issued tomorrow (Thursday) after the 81-member Coquitlam band was thrust into the national spotlight last week when it was revealed Chief Ron Giesbrecht had earned
$914,000 last year.Last Friday, the band
released a media state-ment stating Giesbrecht “is accountable to mem-bers of the Kwikwetlem First Nation and is tak-ing time to talk to them now and over the com-ing days.”
I t a l s o s t a t e d Giesbrecht will undergo “unavoidable medical treatment” this week.
The band confirmed the numbers made public under the First Nat ions Financ ia l
Transparency Act, a new federal regulation that requires bands to post their financial data.
As chief, Giesbrecht earns $4,800 annually plus another $80,000 as economic development officer. Last year, he also had $16,574 in expenses and collected a lucra-tive $800,000 “economic development” bonus as part of a 10% cut from an $8-million land deal in Coquitlam.
All bonuses were re-moved from his contract
on April 1, the band stated.In March, the provin-
cial government sold 370 acres on Burke Mountain as part of its disposal of Crown assets to balance the books.
In an interview with The Tri-City News last Friday, Glen Joe, a Kwikwetlem elder and the band’s chief in 1992, claimed the land deal was a payment by the province before it put the acreage on the block.

A Coquitlam cou-ple prefers vintage cars to sleek, com-puter-equipped gas misers
By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News
Some people have to have the latest model car or the
newest smartphone. Not so, Vic Bourne and Brenda Flynn.
The Coquitlam resi-dents prefer the crafts-manship and detail of yesteryear — and it turns out they may be on to something.
For the last several years, Bourne and Flynn have been collecting classic cars and their house is a museum of old clocks, photographs and furniture.
Instead of a smart phone, they have a candlestick model — the kind with a horn you hold to your ear — and for music, a player piano pumps out tunes instead of an iPod.
But it turns out the simple life they’ve built with things some people would discard brings them a lot of happiness. They say they’ve made more friends in a week on the road in their classic cars then some people have in a lifetime and, by slowing down and enjoying their time with each other, instead of in front of a TV or a computer screen, the two say they are checking off every item on their bucket lists.
Bourne says he loves “mechanical stuff of every kind” and has no concerns about taking the hood off one of his Model Ts or the couple’s 1940 Packard to put in a new a crank shaft. Parts are relatively easy two get from his network of car buffs and his garage, which takes up most of his shaded yard, gives him plenty of room to work.
He got the bug for car repair about 60 years ago when, as a teen, he and his brothers repaired a
1937 Ford that had been abandoned by their neighbour.
“We had it running in a week,” Bourne recalled, “I wasn’t even licensed to drive.”
Today’s cars, equipped with computers and other sophisticated tech-nology, he wouldn’t even touch, and he said one benefit of owning a clas-sic car is that you can fix
it yourself. A case in point is the
1915 Model T the couple drives on short-hauls (they typically transport it by trailer to the event they are attending, then
drive it). It has been re-paired many times and duct tape under the win-dow stops water from leaking into the ignition.
It looks like a bit of a jalopy, with a large tire iron strapped to the spare wheel as a bit of a joke, and has to be hand cranked, or occasion-ally pushed. But it runs well — most of the time
— and Flynn says she doesn’t mind that the car looks a bit beat up because that’s the way cars were in the old days when they were in heavy use.
“It draws attention. This way, we meet peo-ple,” said Flynn, a retired nurse.
Nor do they worry too much about the odd
bump and scratch as they roar down rural roads at a top speed of about 30 mph. For long drives, they enjoy the 1940 Packard, which is plush, with new up-holstery, and although heavy and a bit of a gas guzzler, cruises nicely up to 70 mph on the high-way.
Flynn said she got the idea of joining the Vintage Car Club of Canada, for which Bourne is newsletter editor, from reading a Beautiful British Columbia Magazine years ago. A photo in the magazine depicted people wearing vintage costumes and driv-ing classic cars on the Malahat Highway.
“’Oh, my gosh,’ I thought, ‘I would love to do that,’” Flynn said.
They admit there are days when they spend more time on the side of a road than on it to fix a problem or wait for a tow. But there is always someone willing to help — or at least ask a ques-tion or two — and soon a stranger becomes a friend.
Bourne said it’s a no-brainer that people are drawn to classic vehicles that are familiar yet remind us of an earlier time in our history.
“People like babies, animals and old cars.”[email protected]
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Vic Bourne and Brenda Flynn of Coquitlam are the proud owners of a 1915 Model T Ford and a 1940 Packard, which they drive to special events and tours around B.C. and Washington. They also own a 1928 Model A truck, which Flynn uses to pick up groceries, as well as a 1923 Ford Model T Centre-Door Sedan and a 1915 Ford Model T four-seater touring car, both of which are undergoing repairs in their basement garage.
OUT AND ABOUT• Vic Bourne and Brenda Flynn will be out
and about all summer at car meets and special events. One they plan to attend is the Crescent Beach Concours D’Elegance on Saturday, Aug. 30, from 10 am. to 3 p.m. at Blackie Split Park at Crescent Beach in south Surrey.
A pastime spent in the past started with: ‘Oh, my gosh, I would love to do that...’

Colourful cage will greet battersPort Coquitlam Minor
Baseball’s batting cage at Thompson Park got a lot more colourful last week.
The sports organiza-tion and the city teamed up with artist Kris Kupskay to create 2,000-sq. ft mural, blending First Nations art with im-
ages of baseball.According to a press
release from the city, the wall had been a target for vandals and was regularly hit with graffiti. PoCo Minor Baseball hopes the art work, which was cre-ated as part of the city’s
ParticiPAINT program, will discourage tagging.
Kupskay is an artist with the Hidden Agenda Project and has cre-ated numerous murals in PoCo and the rest of the region, including one for Whistler’s popu-lar Crankworx free ride
mountain bike festival. The city said that his theme-based approach to spraypaint art allow for dynamic art pieces that show taggers that there are opportunities to participate in positive [email protected]

2 missing men foundA man who went missing from the Cottonwood
Lodge on the Riverview Hospital grounds last week was found Friday.
Pancho Desperatus Amator DeTanza had been gone since the morning of July 29. Investigators had warned the man suffered from a mental dis-order and warned the public not to approach him.
The RCMP said yesterday that Shane Metcalfe, who was reported as an unauthorized absence from the Forensic Psychiatric Institute on July 29, had also been found.
Joe calls for forensic audit“In order for them
to develop, they had to prove we didn’t live there,” Joe claimed.
Yesterday, B.C.’s Ministry of Aboriginal R e l a t i o n s a n d Reconci l iat ion de-clined to release details about its land deal with Kwikwetlem. “We do not disclose economic ben-efit agreements without the consent of the First Nations involved,” a spokesperson said, add-ing agreements “rise out of the province’s duty to consult. Any financial benefit flows to the band and the council — not any individual.”
Besides the Burke agreement, Joe — whose brother, Marvin Joe, was elected to the band coun-cil in March — said the Kwikwetlem First Nation has also benefitted from other agreements with the provincial govern-ment, namely a $2-mil-lion compensation pack-age for interfering with the band’s fishing terri-tory along the Fraser River while building the Port Mann bridge/Gateway project.
On the federal side, Kwikwetlem received $673,000 from Aboriginal Affairs and another $298,000 from CMHC for new housing last year.
Still, Joe, who is dis-abled, said most of the band members on the re-serve don’t have jobs and live in poverty. And he said they were outraged when they learned via the media about the chief’s bonus. “By ancient cul-ture, the chief is supposed to put his members first,” he said.
Now, Joe and other band members are ask-ing for a forensic audit of the band’s finances since Giesbrecht was elected
chief in 2012 (his term ends on April 30, 2015). They are also demanding Giesbrecht step down.
A request for comment from Giesbrecht was not immediately returned by The Tri-City News’ print deadline; a spokesperson for Giesbrecht, consultant Paul Lepage, also did not return calls.
Andrea Richer, com-munications director for federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt, told The Tri-City News last week that “our government expects First Nation band coun-cils to use taxpayer dol-lars responsibly and for the benefit of all commu-
nity members.”She added, “The re-
ported salary of the chief is very troubling and his community members de-serve an explanation.”
B.C.’s Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation also of-fered a similar statement: “All elected leaders — provincial, municipal and First Nations — have a re-sponsibility to the people that elected them to act in a transparent way and be accountable for the deci-sions they make.”
Last month, the Kwikwetlem First Nation laid an ancestral claim to the Riverview Hospital lands, which are cur-rently undergoing a year-long visioning process by BC Housing.
“The Kwikwetlem First Nation wish to make it clear that they expect to become an owner of the Riverview Lands and lead the future develop-ment of these lands,” it said at the time. The de-velopment scenario pro-posed would be based on a “highest and best use with a goal toward maxi-mizing the benefits to the Nation as land owner.”[email protected]

Coq. dad drowns in Alouette
A Coquitlam dad out with his family drowned Monday while swimming the Alouette River in Pitt Meadows.
The 44-year-old was trying to swim across river near Harris Road when he disap-peared under water around 5:45 p.m., ac-cording to police.
Tw e l v e v o -lunteers with Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue assisted the Pitt Meadows Fire Department and RCMP until a Coast Guard hovercraft ar-rived on scene. The man was located under water by a Coast Guard diver. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The B.C. Coroner’s Service is trying de-termine why the man drowned. He was swimming in an area that is a popular coo-ling-off spot in sum-mer; swimmers often dive off a bridge that crosses the river.

Hospitals in Surrey, Abbotsford and New Westminster that are Fraser Health’s desig-nated centres to treat stroke victims have so far failed to provide optimum care for them and redi-rect too many of those patients to Vancouver in-stead.
That’s one of the find-ings of a health ministry-ordered review of the health authority released last month.
Many ischemic strokes can be effectively treated with clot-busting throm-bolytic drugs, but time is of the essence — patients need to get to stroke spe-cialists within three to four hours for the treat-ment to be useful.
Too often, the review report said, those patients are diverted to Vancouver General Hospital instead of designated Fraser hos-pitals, adding extra delay when they should be treated in the region as quickly as possible.
The report said Royal Columbian Hospital has the expertise to treat those stroke victims but “capacity issues in the RCH emergency depart-ment make this site reluc-tant to accept more pa-tient volume.”
Surrey Memorial Hospital’s ER and neurol-ogy departments haven’t embraced the use of thrombolytic drugs for stroke cases, it said, and Abbotsford Regional has made “some efforts” to meet its role as a desig-nated site, but with “mod-est” results.
“This is poor patient care as it results in time delays to a treatment that is time-sensitive,” the re-view said of transfers to Vancouver.
Redirecting Fraser stroke patients to VGH worsens congestion there and demand on ambu-lance transfers, the report said, and means those patients must be trans-ported back to Fraser later.
Fraser Health last year sent 135 stroke victims to VGH, some of them from as far away as Langley and Abbotsford.
Dr. Dave Williams, Fraser Health’s program medical director for med-icine, said stroke services in the region are rapidly improving.
“We expect that num-ber will be significantly reduced for this fiscal year because we have been able to build capac-ity at some of our sites,” he said.
Williams said he met ER doctors at Royal Columbian and resolved their concerns that the al-ready congested hospital may be overwhelmed.
As a result, he said, RCH now is taking all stroke cases out of Eagle Ridge Hospital that were often being referred to
Vancouver before.A new stroke unit
has opened at Surrey Memorial’s new critical care tower, he added.
Although it is still short of neurologists, more are being actively recruited.
“Abbotsford has actu-ally made a lot of prog-
ress,” he said, adding four neurologists are in place there and the hospital is looking for a fifth to en-sure round-the-clock cov-erage.
Recruitment is a chal-lenge — the report notes neurologists specializing in stroke are concen-
trated in the Vancouver area.
Williams stressed anyone having stroke symptoms — such as facial droop, drift of the arm or speech problems — should call 911 imme-diately, even if the symp-toms quickly stop.
The review also sug-gested too many Fraser region patients are treated for cardiac care at Vancouver Coastal hospi-tals, with less-than-ideal results.
About 25% of angio-plasties and 40% of heart surgeries required by Fraser patients are per-formed at either VGH or St. Paul’s.
“There are significant wait-time issues with an increasing number of patients exceeding the recommended wait time,” the review said.

The Tri-Cities have enjoyed a stretch of hot, dry weather of late, which has caused many to take steps to stay cool and safe. Measures include ap-plying sunscreen, wear-ing a hat and drinking plenty of water.
Fraser Health last week sent out a press release offering some specific tips for senior citizens to stay safe outside during hot weather. If you’re a se-nior, Fraser Health has this advice:
• Avoid the glare: The sun can make it hard to see so you should be sure to wear sunglasses and proper eyewear. As well, you should take a moment to let your eyes adjust when going from dark to bright or
vice versa; failing to take a moment could cause you to not see objects in your way and increase the risk for a trip or fall.
• Keep cool and hydrated: If you are staying indoors, use a fan and wet a face cloth with cold water. Getting enough fluids each day gives you more energy and helps your body to stay cool. If you can, head to a mall, a community centre or a public li-brary and enjoy the air conditioning.
• Dress the part: Light clothing and a hat can help keep you cool.
• Get equipped: Walkers and canes can help with balance on uneven sidewalks
and hip protectors can prevent broken bones if you trip or fall but proper footwear is also important — especially in hot weather. As tempting as it may be to wear sandals, they can easily get caught on something and increase the risk for a fall.
Fraser Health also says some older people stay indoors in warmer weather, and that can mean missed doc-tor’s appointments, unfilled prescriptions and empty pantries. It advises loved ones, friends and neighbours to check on them and make sure they have what they need.

seniors, stay safe when in the sun
School talks Aug. 8Negotiators for B.C. public school districts and
the BC Teachers’ Federation are getting together Friday to seek a settlement in their long-running dispute before the scheduled start of school in September.
A brief statement from the BCTF announced the resumption of talks Friday afternoon, a day after the B.C. government announced a contin-gency plan to pay strike savings to parents of younger students if the strike keeps schools shut in September.
The government saves an estimated $12 mil-lion a day when teachers go without paycheques, enough to pay parents $40 per missed school day for each child under 13 in public school.
Recreation centres are preparing to extend sum-mer camp and activity programs into the fall.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced the contingency plan Thursday after several weeks without movement in the long-running dispute that shut schools for the last two weeks of June.

VICTORIA
The B.C. government’s move to ease liquor re-strictions is undergoing its
hot summer test and music festi-vals are only part of it.
Premier Christy Clark’s gov-ernment loves its populist gestures and, as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified.
Free-range drinking — or removing fences from festival beer gardens — is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big sum-mer parties.
One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival, featuring headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next.
(Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and organizers’ big issue is con-trolling the effects of ecstasy and other com-mon rave drugs.)
Early reviews of free-range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area but I’m told hardly anyone used it.
Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day, it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were under-standably cautious. Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services. The festival licence process is likely getting renewed attention these days.
After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely
fenced and the capacity moni-tored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these mea-sures. Litter and empties were contained but since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort.
It’s unlikely there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms.
And there are more reforms to come.New regulations are on the way for the
Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry.
One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, intro-duced along with the overdue move to allow
happy hour discounts in pubs.The minimum price of 25
cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an ef-fort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-
consumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce, but for beer in jugs only.
The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if some-one at a table of revellers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Summer time and the drinking is easier in B.C.
Respect, on two wheels or fourA fear of death shouldn’t be what keeps people
from choosing to ride a bicycle. But it might.A cyclist was killed last week in Richmond. Last
Thursday, another was struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver on the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam. In each case, it’s unclear what caused the collisions.
What is clear is the devastating results of a crash be-tween a bicycle and a vehicle.
The roads are packed with vehicles, driven by motor-ists weighed down by a multitude of potential distractions. The Lower Mainland has been expanding its cycling infrastructure but it needs more work — lots more work.
But giving cyclists plenty of room on the road doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be safe from inattentive drivers.
An average of 150 cyclists are injured in B.C. every month during peak riding season of May to October, ac-cording to ICBC.
We should all be encouraging more people to strap on helmets and take to the streets on two wheels — it’s healthy for commuters and recreational riders, the envi-ronment and a congested region. But those statistics don’t do much for a would-be cyclist’s confidence.
Yes, cyclists must do their part. The insurance corpora-tion advises them to never assume drivers can see them and to wear bright, reflective clothing, and use lights at night.
But how many times have you seen a motorist park in a bike lane? Fail to yield to a cyclist? Nearly knock a rider over while passing?
It happens too often, and last week one rider lost their life and another was seriously hurt.
Drivers and cyclists need to watch for each other at all times, use eye contact and hand signals. Moreover, we all need to make efforts to build greater respect between drivers and cyclists.
Whether on two wheels or four, that starts with every one of us.

TRI-CITYTRI-CITY leTTeRs$40/day promise ‘ill-conceived ploy’The Editor,
Re. “$40/day if BCTF strike drags on” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 1).
I listened as Finance Minister Mike de Jong talked about the money provided to allow parents to seek out educational programs, tutoring or other support for their children not attending public schools because of the strike. Oh, yes, if this is needed for day-care, that’s OK too.
So if the government is offering this subsidy to parents in lieu of a formal
education, why just chil-dren 12 and under? I’m left wondering why not high school students, who are just as affected, if not more, in terms of the academic demands and crunch that will happen if the school year is condensed due to this ongoing dispute?
If you really mean day-care costs are being subsi-dized, I guess that means $1,200/day minus overhead is what teachers should be earning for the 30 stu-dents in their charge each day? Oops, I forgot the ad-
ditional costs for special needs support. I’m sure parents will be able to find daycare for their excep-tional needs children on $40 a day. Good luck! Tammy Wirick, Coquitlam
diverting $$The Editor,
This latest ill-conceived ploy by the provincial gov-ernment is mind-boggling in its stupidity. These pay-outs, which will be taxed, will end up diverting pro-vincial education dollars into federal coffers.
And parents of students over 13 must be fuming as their students are just as deserving of a quality edu-cation as younger students, yet money that could be used to improve conditions in the school will be spent to buy support and votes for Premier Christy Clark’s government.
The most needy fami-lies, which often don’t own computers or have equal access to information, are least likely to register for these payouts.
It is clear that there is
no will on the part of the government to reach a deal with teachers. The sticking points in this dispute are clearly not salary or ben-efits, as teachers have al-ready given up way more money than they stand to gain. This government re-fuses to sign an agreement that addresses its own il-legal actions of contract stripping and the resulting degradation of conditions in classrooms across the province. Shame on them!J. Wiltshire,Port Coquitlam

48-foot kayak is moved for first time in 4 decades
By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News
A 48-foot, 800-lb. kayak that has sat next to the historic Bole House in Belcarra since 1976 was moved Friday to a new home in Bellingham.
Jo Ledingham, a resi-dent of one of seven cab-ins in the area that Metro Vancouver plans to de-molish, said that with no-body living in the area, there are fears the vessel could be damaged.
“If the cottages are under threat, it’s foolish to leave the boat here,” she said. “It would be vandalized.”
See ing the ves -sel towed away on Friday brought tears to Ledingham’s eyes, she said. The Belcarra resident, who has lived along the shoreline since the 1970s, said the kayak, which was built by a local man named George Dyson, was a part of the area’s history.
“Kayakers from all over the place would go past to see it,” she said. “It seems to me to be a huge failure to recognize our history.”
Dyson, who lived
in the Bole House dur-ing the 1970s, moved to Bellingham several years ago. On Friday, he brought his sailboat up from the U.S. to tow the behemoth vessel to its new home.
A camera crew was on hand to film the launch. Ledingham said the director is a local film-maker who is interested
in the cabin residents’ bat-tle with Metro Vancouver to keep their cabins.
Ledingham and the resident of the six other cabins were told to leave their homes by June 30. A demolition date has yet to be scheduled but Metro Vancouver intends to complete a new picnic area and a trail. [email protected]

Some picnickers at Sasamat Lake likely had a bit of a shock when they returned to their cars parked on Bedwell Bay Road after a day in the sun and found them gone.
But Port Moody Police Insp. Ken MacDonald said several cars had to be towed on the week-end because they were parked illegally and posed a danger to traffic and pedestrians.
“There is no toler-ance out there for park-ing violations because it becomes unsafe,” said MacDonald, who said the warm weather drew crowds to the popular beach, forcing park em-ployees to close the park-ing lots early. Drivers who didn’t want to wait for an open spot resorted to parking on the shoul-der along Bedwell Bay road and if they weren’t
in a legal spot, had their cars impounded.
“You have a lot of peo-ple resorting to using the
highway for walking and there are no sidewalks. It creates a real safety issue for pedestrians,”
MacDonald said.Coquitlam RCMP also
reported a busy weekend keeping parks and the
beach at Buntzen Lake safe. Const. Michelle Luca said police were out in force monitoring long weekend activities but there was nothing of any particular concern to [email protected]
Busy BC Day long weekend at local hot spots & some cars were towed
DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-cITy NEwS
Tri-Cities recreation hot spots such as White Pine Beach (above, in a photo from last month) were packed over the hot and sunny B.C. Day long weekend.
Police are still seek-ing information about a hit-and-run accident that left a cyclist in-jured and unconscious just before midnight on July 30 on the Mary Hill bypass, just north of Kingsway Avenue in Port Coquitlam.
Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Const.
Michelle Luca said the cyclist, Bruce Rickman, is in stable condition in Royal Columbian Hospital and the inves-tigation is ongoing.
“We are looking for any tips, any bit of in-formation, significant or not, that might help in the investigation,” Const. Luca said.
Mounties believe the cyclist was riding east on the shoulder and was hit from behind by a larger Toyota vehicle such as a truck or an SUV. Investigators also found a black plastic passenger-side mirror housing, which they be-lieve may be from the Toyota.
• Anyone with in-formation about the vehicle involved in the collision is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550, quoting file number 2014-21316. Alternatively, you can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or online at solvecrime.ca.

Popular teacher mourned in PoCo
A Port Coquitlam elementary school is mourning the loss of a popular teacher who died recently from com-plications due to surgery.
Colourful posters con-taining memories of and thoughts about Dave Charles hang from the fence at James Park el-ementary and principal Petra Kintzinger said the Grade 3/4 teacher will be missed. “Dave was just an incredibly kind man and just loved by children and adults and the teachers.
There were many teach-ers on staff that felt they were mentored by them,” Kintzinger said.
Charles taught at James Park for just a few years, having moved from Scott Creek middle school, but Kintzinger said he made the adjust-ment quickly and was always surrounded by
students when he walked the grounds with his cof-fee cup at recess.
“The kids are just be-reft, they loved him so much,” she said.
A celebration of life will be held for Charles, likely at Scott Creek middle school in the early fall. [email protected]

$6k for community initiatives in PoMo
The Port Moody Foundation announced the recipients of $6,000 worth of grants this week.
A grant of $1,000 went to Access Youth Outreach Services Society ( formerly PoCoMo Youth Services Society) to support its mobile drop-in centre and outreach program for marginalized youth.
The Port Moody Arts Centre Society received $1,500.00 to buy 60 folding chairs for the new community gath-ering space in the Arts Centre’s Centennial Appleyard House, which is scheduled to open later this year.
The third recipi-ent was Coquitlam’s
Dogwood Pavilion Senior Society, which gets $800 to support the instruction of 30 to 35 young people from the Tri-Cities in dragon boating and other pad-dling. The program goal is to encourage vulnerable youth to live a physically and men-tally healthy, drug-free lifestyle and to focus on achieving a balance between sport and aca-demic studies.
A grant of $1,800.00 was awarded to Port Moody Heritage Society to assist in developing a multi-media display of the Ioco townsite that will be used at various functions to increase the awareness and pres-ervation of the town-
site, Port Moody’s first Heritage Conservation Area.

Following in father’s footstepsBy Janis Warren
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
I have to pinch my-self that I’m talking to Zakiya Hooker,
daughter of John Lee Hooker — yes, the John Lee Hooker, the American music pioneer who forged a new style of urban electric blues.
So, I try to ask casu-ally, what was it like to grow up with such an influential music giant? Her delightful answer of-fers a peek into the post-war home of a man who later received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
“My father was a base-ball fan so, when base-ball wasn’t going, there was music,” she recalled. “Baseball was his pas-sion. He loved the LA Dodgers. Now, back in the day, I didn’t pay any attention to it because I hated baseball because we were forced to watch it. We only had one TV and he was the boss of that TV.”
Zakiya was the third of eight children born to Hooker. She has a brother, John Lee Hooker Jr., who once played the blues profes-sionally but has since turned his attention to being a minister.
Now, Zakiya is the only sibling to follow in her father’s footsteps and she has her husband, Chris James — not her dad — to thank for that.
She met James in Oakland, Cali., in 1987, while on a night out with friends. Zakiya struck a friendship with the musician, who in the 1960s and ‘70s had an R&B group called The Natural Four. James had also played with Curtis Mayfield for seven years and performed with Earth, Wind and Fire, The Temptations and Kool and the Gang, among others.
At the time, Zakiya worked as a jury man-ager for the Superior Court of California in Oakland, a job she held for 28 years. “I loved it because I loved work-ing with the people,” she
remembered, “but after awhile I burned out and I realized it was time to go.”
James’ passion for music inspired her dig deep into her roots and enter the business with her husband full time.
John Lee Hooker didn’t like it one bit. He told her the music scene was a hard place and “not for women. He was kind of scared that his baby girl would be in there but he finally came around when Chris pre-sented it to him.”
Zakiya made her debut performance in 1991 with her dad at the Kaiser Center Theatre in Oakland, the same year she released her first album.
Since then, she has sung with legends like Etta James, Charles Brown, John Hammond and Taj Mahal.
These days, Zakiya has a busy touring life with James. They have played at the world-famous Filmore Auditorium, the San Francisco Blues Festival and the Monterey Jazz & Blues Festival. Her voice can also be heard on ads for Lexus and AIWA and on the Chalk soundtrack.
This summer, the couple toured Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Austria, and last month, they performed at the Mission Folk Festival and the Dream Cafe in Penticton.
August started with gigs at Big Al’s House of Blues in Edmonton and, on Saturday, the pair will
be in Coquitlam to close the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s Music on the Grill summer series.
Zakiya promises an enjoyable show for her Tri-City crowd, tracing the roots of the blues and giving a lesson in American music history.
She will begin with “old acoustics” such as tunes from Lead Belly and play traditional
American folk songs like In the Pines, Ain’t It a Shame and See See Rider. James will follow with an R&B set before Zakiya returns to the stage to sing some con-temporary blues rendi-tions.
She will be joined by a band that includes two Metro Vancouver musi-cians plus a guitarist from Buenos Aires.
Still, while she likes being on the road to spread the blues gospel, the great-grandmother said she would prefer to be back in Georgia.
“I don’t like travelling so much because I’m a home body. Put me in the backyard with some flowers and my dogs and I’m fine.”
• Tickets to see Zakiya Hooker and Chris James
on Saturday, Aug. 9 are $52 for the BBQ and concert, or $32 for the concert only. Pre-show entertainment will be served up by Vancouver singer/songwriter Jessica Zraly. Call the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) at 604-927-6555 or visit online at [email protected]

The Belcarra cottages are part of POP’s Natural Inspirations show.
POP showsparkcabins
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Back in March, the Passionate Outdoor Painters group — bet-ter known as POP — was invited to capture a scene that will soon be history.
As a member of the Port Moody Arts Centre, POP was asked if its six painters could create images of the half-a-dozen Belcarra cottages still left standing.
Residents of the rustic, old homes near Belcarra regional park had their leases terminated by Metro Vancouver this sum-mer and their beloved abodes will likely be razed for park expan-sion and liability con-cerns despite their historical and cultural values: For decades, the cottages were used as summer escapes by Lower Mainland fami-lies and, centuries ago, it was a First Nations settlement called Tum-tumay-whueton.
Intrigued with the request, POP sent off an email to its painters to see if anyone would be interested in the project. “That whole thing really appealed to us as outdoor paint-ers because it was a living community, al-most from the past,” said POP founder and spokesperson Jane Appleby last Friday.

Pipe bands off to the worldsBy Janis Warren
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Two Grade 1 pipe bands — both of which have strong ties to the Tri-Cities — will be in Scotland next week to prepare for the world championships that start on Aug. 15.
The Port Coquitlam-based Dowco Triumph Street Band placed 10th at Glasgow Green last year while the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band took the fourth spot, following first-place winners Field Marshal Montgomery (North Ireland), Boghall and Bathgate (Scotland) and Scottish Power (Scotland).
But this year will see a big change at the top for the SFU pipe band, with the retirement last fall of founding pipe major — and Coquitlam resident — Terry Lee.
Senior piper Alan Bevan will be leading the SFU pipe band at the Worlds, a competition where Lee helped the ensemble clinch six first-place finishes and nine sec-ond-place titles over his 30 years at the helm.
A band member since 1995, Bevan, 37, from Abbotsford, has
been to 18 Worlds — five of which the SFU band won first place.
“I’m feeling good about my first Worlds as pipe major,” Bevan said in a news release. “We’re playing stronger than ever and I think the band is eager to show off all the hard work we’ve been putting in.”
Joining the Grade 1 band will be SFU’s junior Robert Malcolm Memorial band. The juvenile Grade 4 band includes Bevan’s 11-year-old son Alistair (Bevan’s wife, Bonnie, is also a piper with the Grade 1 SFU ensemble).
Among the Grade 1 pipers from
the Tri-Cities who will be com-peting are: Alastair Lee, Danielle Millar and Daryl Techy; drummers Reid Maxwell, Gavin MacRae and Duncan Millar; bass section Kim Mercado and MacKenzie Webster; and administrator Rob MacNeil, who also instructs the RMM pipe bands.
Meanwhile, Dowco pipe major David Hilder said his band got a boost in confidence last month when it beat the SFUPB twice at the Seattle Highland Games — the first time the SFU group has lost top prizes at the Washington State event in 20 years.
At the Games, the last compe-tition before the Worlds, Dowco clinched two firsts in piping and in ensemble. “It’s a testament to this region that we have such high-quality pipe bands,” Hilder said.
Besides Hilder, his pipe ser-geant wife, Shaunna, and their son, Liam, the other Dowco players from the Tri-Cities are: Gordon McRae, Fraser Yorston, Alex Galloway, Cameron Reid, Jessica Reid, Scott Wood, Tyler Wood, Jocelyn Marsh and Shelena Marsh.

Painters capture a simpler way of living
“It really inspired us about people living in na-ture, a little bit simpler.”
The area was al-ready known to several POP painters, she said: Appleby, a Burnaby resi-dent, had kayaked from Barnet Marine Park to Belcarra; Alison White rode her horse through the park; Randy Green, a Port Moody resident, fre-quents Belcarra as does Sahar McCullough.
At first, Appleby thought she would go and paint some pictures of the cottages on the residents’ behalf but, when she walked around the site, she became im-mediately entranced. “I was very much moved by the experience,” she remembered. “It very much opened the doors for creativity.”
Appleby began by painting the waterfront cabin of Jo Ledingham, a tenant for some 50 years. The cottage of the 74-year-old grandmother has no dishwasher, washer or dryer but it does has a remarkable view of the Burrard Inlet.
Next, Appleby turned her attention to a bear-
faced rock. “These were things that spoke to me on my first day there,” she said.
Appleby said the POP painters, which also in-clude Sue Cowan and Sally Turton, had a spe-cial fondness for the spring and summer light around the Belcarra cot-tages.
“For an artist, that’s hard to find. I go to many parks but, there, the light goes through the trees and the hills. In March, the shadows were in-credible. The light goes off the wood and has this wonderful texture and colour.”
In five months, POP painted 36 pieces of the Belcarra cottages, which are now being exhib-
ited at the Port Moody Arts Centre. In total, the group has 130 sketches and paintings on display as part of its Natural Inspirations show that closes on Aug. 14.
For its opening recep-tion last month, the Port Moody Arts Centre had a record turnout, with many people wanting to know more about the background of the cot-tages.
As well, several art-ists expressed an interest to see the site for them-selves and offer their take on a place that will soon be lost forever.
“Our group felt enam-oured, touched and privi-leged to be asked first,” Appleby [email protected]

Paint It Forward (with a glass of wine) for PMAC kids camps
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Help children enroll in arts camps at the Port Moody Arts Centre by picking up a paint brush — and by raising a glass of wine — at Paint It Forward.
The first session of the new philanthropic and social series starts on Saturday night under the tutelage of PMAC acrylics instructor Agata Teodorowicz.
“It will be a fun and wonderful meeting of art,” said Teodorowicz, who aims to unleash the creative skills of the “shy” as well as the “confident” painters.
For her Aug. 9 work-shop, Teodorowicz has prepared some samples to guide rookie artists through the process. She will offer demonstrations “and help people along the way. If you’ve never done any painting be-fore, I guarantee you will have a very satisfying ex-perience because I can teach anybody to paint.”
Participants at the 19-plus event will be given a 12 x 16 canvas (plus an alcoholic or soda drink and appetizers) to make an image that they can
take home.S a n d r a N i v e n ,
PMAC’s program and volunteer co-ordinator, hopes to see couples and groups of friends relax-ing and having a night out.
She also hopes they’ll remember where their money is going: bursa-ries to help children get into arts camps.
Niven cited a recent example of a young singer who couldn’t af-ford to sign up for a five-day camp. “I think that’s a huge shame that we don’t have those funds available for our very talented kids,” she said, adding, “Paint It Forward is our version of ‘Pay It Forward’ and we believe we have a great commu-nity that is very support-ive.”
• Paint It Forward runs on Aug. 9 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The cost is $40.50 per person or $75 per couple. Teodorowicz also hosts the second session on Sept. 27 while ceramics teacher Pauline Doyle leads a class on Oct. 18, paint-ing instructor Kimberly Blackstock on Nov. 22 and wheelthrower Clive Tucker on Dec. 6. For tickets, call 604-931-2008.

Port Moody Arts Centre instructor Agata Teodorowicz will launch the facility’s Paint It Forward series on Saturday, Aug. 9. Proceeds will go to bursaries for children’s art camps.

Club will take on Calgary at Western Canadian finals
By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy NeWs
Wesley Berg’s Game 7 heroics have helped the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs take one step closer to the Minto Cup this month.
The club defeated the New Westminster Salmonbellies 12-8 Sunday night, with Berg factoring in 50% of his team’s goals.
Th e 2 1 - ye a r- o l d Adanac opened the scor-ing with a short-handed marker midway through the first period, before adding his second six minutes later. By the be-ginning of the second period he had tied up the hat trick, but Berg was not done scoring yet.
He made i t 8 -5 two minutes into the third before assist-ing on teammate Evan Wortley’s first goal of the game. Berg rounded out his stat sheet with a
fifth goal later in the pe-riod to make it 10-6 for the visiting Coquitlam club.
He was not the only player to light up the scoreboard at New Westminster’s Queens Park Arena Sunday night.
Tyler Pace also had a six point game, with a hat trick and three help-ers.
He assisted on Berg’s first goal of the game before scoring back-to-back markers later in the first period. Pace added his third goal of the game in the dying minutes of the final frame.
Goaltender Peter Dubenski stopped 30 of the 38 shots he faced in the win.
Sunday’s victory al-lowed the Adanacs to bounce back from a 13-6 loss at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex Friday night, the club’s third loss at home of the series.
The squad fell be-hind early when New Westminster’s Nathan Stewart opened the scor-ing, before teammates
Anthony Malcolm and Johny Pearson made it 3-1 for the visitors.
Stewart went on to have a six-point game,
scoring two goals and pitching in for four help-ers. Salmonbellies for-ward Connor Robinson also had two goals and
four assists, while Josh Byrne scored one and notched three helpers.
Coquitlam’s Brett Hawry brought the
score to within one at the midway mark of the first, but New West closed out the period with four un-
answered goals. Berg made it 7-3 with
a power play goal but another flurry of offence from New West widened the scoring gap further and Coquitlam was un-able to mount a come-back.

PoCo bounced in semis at baseball provincialsBy Gary McKenna
The Tri-CiTy NeWs
Port Coquitlam Minor Baseball’s two-decade provincial championship drought has been ex-tended at least another year.
The PoCo Cardinals lost in the semifinals to Chilliwack at the peewee AA provincial champi-onship, finishing up the tournament with a 2-3 record.
Coach Mike Bird was
still disappointed when contacted by The Tri-City News on Tuesday, but commended the squad for playing hard during some tough outings.
“Our goal was to get better and better as the summer went on,” he said. “I think we did that.”
The club struggled out of the gates, dropping a 10-0 decision to Vernon in the opening game. The Cardinals bounced back in the second game to take down North Delta
13-1 in what Bird said was the club’s best game of the tournament.
PoCo lost another to Kelowna before finishing up the round-robin play with an 11-8 win over Campbell River.
In the final game of the tournament, the club was up on Chilliwack 4-1 in the early innings. However, Bird said their opponents were able to take the lead and eventu-ally won the game 7-5.

Coquitlam Cheetahs clean up at junior development track event 31 Cheetah track athletes brought home handfuls of hardware
Ally Dulay-McGuire has set a new provin-cial record in the 60 m sprint at the B.C. Junior Development Track and Field Championship.
Th e 1 1 - ye a r- o l d Coquitlam Cheetahs run-ner finished her race in 8.41 seconds, capturing a gold medal and etching her name in the record books. She also won gold in the 100 m with a 13.28, the fourth fastest in the junior development event’s history.
Dulay-McGuire was not the only young ath-lete to have success at the 2014 championships.
Teammate Alana Noble won gold in her 10 year age category, alter-ing running 90.1 seconds, while Amelia Hamnet, another member of the Cheetahs, crossed the finish line 0.1 seconds later for the silver.
Noble continued to medal for the Cheetahs, snaring gold in the 60 m hurdles with a 10.65, and first-place finishes in the long and high jump. She also grabbed a silver in the 100 m and in the shot put event.
Hamnet also had mul-
tiple trips to the podium, grabbing a bronze in the 100 m and a silver in the long jump.
Jarret Chong led the boys side of the Coquitlam Cheetahs, showing his dominance in the throwing events. He took gold in shot put, javelin, discus and the
hammer, establishing a new record in javelin with a 43.24. His shot put throw was ranked fourth in the event’s history.
Meanwhile, Cheetahs runner Josh Granville won gold in the nine-year-old shot put event with a 6.36 m throw. Teammates Cameron
Slaymaker closed out his season with golds in jav-elin and shot as well as a silver in 60 m hurdles and the 600 m run. He also added a bronze in discus, the 1000 m and the long jump.
Darius Mawji, an 11 year old athlete with the team, scored a silver in the 1000 m, while 10-year-old Liepa Bajarunas earned a sil-ver in the javelin and a bronze in the shot and 60 m hurdle events.
Other winners include Liam Espedido, who won silver in the high jump in the 12-year-old category, and Lukas Gaertner, who also won silver in the nine-year-old cat-egory.
Samuel Yeung cap-tured a bronze medal in the high jump.
