Fill ’er up at food bankShare food bank hit by its annual summer shortage

By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Summer may be the season of pool parties, picnics and backyard barbecues but for the Share food bank, it’s a time of empty shelves and continued need.

“Summer is normally a bad time in the food

bank because our regu-lar donors go away on vacation,” said Michelle Ronning, communi-cations co-ordinator for Share Family and Community Services. “People are out having fun, they’re not really thinking about food.”

The non-profit orga-nization expects food bank shelves to be largely empty by Aug. 15. There is plenty of canned soup, Ronning said, but it’s high in sodium and low in nu-tritional value. What’s

needed are meal helpers like Hamburger Helper, which can extend one meal into leftovers for a second day, as well as canned meat or fish, pea-nut butter, granola, pasta sauce, rice and canned fruits and vegetables.

It’s hoped that the 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign will bring in those items and more.

The campaign kicked off on July 15 with an email and social media campaign, and continued with an open house yes-

terday (Tuesday) aimed at showing the public what the food bank looks like, how it works and how great the need is.

Last year, Share dis-tributed just over 19,000

food hampers to Tri-City residents. Those hampers fed nearly 5,500 people, 1,400 of whom were chil-dren under 12 years old.

Hot dog will cost in Coq.Out in the heat? Leave Fido home

By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Leaving your pet in your car while you’re running errands in Coquitlam will soon cost you dearly.

On Monday, council gave three readings to change the city’s animal care and control bylaw by hiking the penalty for pets in con-fined spaces from $150 to $500.

60-year-old cabin destroyed by fire in remote area

By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News

When David Clarke noticed that vandals had been trespassing at his family’s cabin on the east bank of Widgeon Creek a few years ago, he de-cided to install a hunting camera in a nearby tree to survey the property when no one was there.

Fast-forward to today and the pictures shot with the $199 eight-megapixel Bushnell Trophy Cam are now being credited with helping identify a trio of suspected arsonists after the cabin was torched earlier this month.

On Monday night, less than an hour after the images were broadcast by several media out-lets, three men turned themselves into police. According to Mounties, their names are not being released as they have not yet been charged.

“Despite the loss of the cabin, we are very grate-ful for the high-quality images captured by the owners’ CCTV cameras,” said Coquitlam RCMP Const. Chris Nordlund. “It would be difficult to bring the investigation to where we are at right now with-out the high-resolution photographs.”

Nordlund encour-aged business and prop-erty owners to consider purchasing surveillance systems, noting that with today’s technology, clear images can often help in-vestigators quickly iden-tify suspects. The cam-eras that were rolling at around 9 p.m. on July 7 — the approximate time the blaze was set — had a one-year battery life and 32 gigabytes of memory, making it capable of stor-ing thousands of images.

Clarke, one of the fam-ily members who shares ownership of the cabin,

said he didn’t mind when he saw pictures of people stopping by the property to go for a swim or turn their boat around but he became increasingly con-cerned about vandals and overnight campers.

“We noticed there we were having a few issues,” he said. “In order to get some... peace of mind, I

had cameras keeping an eye on the place.”

The blaze was hot enough to scorch trees 20 feet away and even the Bushnell Trophy Cam was slightly melted from the heat, although the memory card was not damaged.

Clarke said he is sur-prised the fire was con-

tained to the structure and did not spread to the rest of the trees and bushes around the prop-erty. The blaze could have been much worse, he said.

“It makes no sense to us why someone would do this on purpose,” Clarke said. “If you look around at these trees, I

am absolutely surprised it all didn’t go up.”

“You could have had a dandy,” added Norm Bradford, an 84-year-old family friend who helped build the cabin back in 1955.

The structure was initially built as a rest stop for duck hunters, Bradford said, but over

the years had turned into a summer retreat for the families connected to the property.

While there is a possi-bility that the cabin will be rebuilt, the memories are lost forever, he said.

Each person who vis-ited the property over its 59-year history marked his or her name in a log

book and photographs ranging from the time the structure was being built to recent vacations were in the cabin when it burned.

“That’s the killer,” Clarke said. “We had log books with the weather, the water level. We had the pictures. All of that information — the entire history is gone.”[email protected]

Tri-City beaches OK as FHA launches new advisories

Suspects caught; fire could have spread

‘No swim’ adviso-ries in west Van

By Sarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

West Vancouver swim-mers looking to cool off may want to head to

the Tri-Cities, where the local beaches have been given a green light by Fraser Health.

Tri-City beaches — in-cluding those at Bedwell Bay, Belcarra Regional Park, Buntzen Lake, Old Orchard Park, Rocky Point Park and White

Pine Beach — were all showing “satisfactory” readings on the Fraser Health website.

Earlier this week, Vancouver Coastal Health issued “no swim-ming” advisories for Ambleside, Dundarave and Sandy Cove beaches

in West Van.Fraser Health spokes-

person Tasleem Juma said the authority has implemented a new sys-tem that issues beach advisories instead of clo-sures.

“What this beach advi-sory on the website does

is tell you the actual level of coliform so the public can make an informed decision about whether they want to go to that beach or not,” Juma said.

The new system went into effect Tuesday after-noon.

Water quality samples

are taken weekly at most beaches; a location that exceeds 200 E. coli bac-teria per 100 ml would be tagged with an advisory.

This week’s testing shows local beaches are well below that national standard, with Belcarra Park (south) showing the

highest reading at 39 E. coli bacteria per 100 ml.

To check results, visit www.fraserhealth.ca, click on Recreational Water under the Your Environment tab, then the “beach samples re-port.”[email protected]

Help needed to ID man whose skull was found in AnmoreBy Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy News

BC Coroner’s Service is asking for the public’s help to identify a man whose partial skull was found last December in

Anmore.Bill Inkster, the ser-

vice’s manager of identi-fication and disaster re-sponse unit, said a hiker was travelling along the forested power line northeast of the village

when he discovered the remains and turned them over to police.

Inkster said the cra-nium has no teeth and, therefore, investigators are not able to get the DNA of the victim.

But because it’s be-lieved the man had a “unique feature” on the right side of his head — a possible injury that re-sulted in surgery to his skull during the 1980s or 1990s that left distor-

tion and scarring — it is hoped someone will re-member him.

The man’s ethnic background isn’t known but it is estimated he was between 45 and 65 years old when he died

many years ago.Inkster said the place

where he was found is a well-known site for suicides, though it is not known how this victim died.

Anyone with infor-

mation to help identify the man is asked to call coroner Lisa Graham at 604-660-2556, quoting file number 2013-0216-0237 and Coquitlam RCMP file number [email protected]

Bear vs. buggy

A conservation officer was search-ing for a particu-larly curious bear who discovered a treasure trove of snacks in a baby stroller at Lions Park Tuesday after-noon.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police received several calls Tuesday about a bear in the Lions Park and PoCo Traboulay Trail area but “it was just a bear doing normal bear things” and no response was required.

At about 3 p.m., however, the bear took an interest in the crumbs left behind in a baby stroller.

“Fortunately the stroller was empty because the family was playing some distance away,” Chung said. The bear eventually wandered off.

Chung said police and the conserva-tion officer searched for the bear but were unable to locate it Tuesday, and the CO may be searching again on [email protected]

Christmas in July will also feature food drives on July 26 at Superstore at Westwood Mall in Coquitlam and at Coquitlam Centre mall, where there will also be games, a kids’ colouring contest, the Share bear, face painting and even a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

Anyone who donates $10 or more at either lo-cation will also be eligible for prize draws, includ-ing tickets to the Honda Celebration of Light at the YVR observation deck.

Ronning said Share aims to raise $25,000 throughout the campaign.

A new addition to Share’s fundraising ef-forts will also kick off on July 29 with Dine 4 Share. Just visit one of the participating restau-rants — Boston Pizza (Maillardville), Kefi Greek Restaurant, Micky’s Public House, Pasta Polo, Stake at the Hard Rock Casino and Townhall Public House — and tell them you’re “Dining out for Share” and the res-taurant will donate up to 10% of your bill to Share.

“If you eat out, you’re helping someone else to eat at home,” Ronning said. Each restaurant is having a launch party on a different night but they’ve signed on as long-term partners, agreeing to donate a portion of the bill for about a year.

“We’re really excited about this one,” Ronning added, “and we’re still growing the amount of restaurants we’ll have.”[email protected]

The move comes as other Lower Mainland municipalities have also increased their fines: This month, Surrey council brought its charge up to $500 as well, the maxi-mum amount allowed under the bylaw ticket-ing system.

This year alone, Coquitlam bylaw of-ficers have logged 51 complaints and issued 13 violation tickets to own-ers who have left their animals in hot cars.

Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have no spe-cific fines for leaving pets in vehicles during hot days but animals that are deemed to be “suffering” can be seized by police and turned over to the BC SPCA, a Port Moody city spokesperson said.

Shawn Eccles, the SPCA’s manager of cru-elty investigations, said it took 228 complaints last month around B.C. — including five in the Tri-Cities — about pooches stuck in hot cars. And, so far this month, the SPCA has received 211 com-plaints province-wide, in-cluding nine locally.

Eccles said a $500 mu-nicipal fine like the one proposed in Coquitlam is significant “but there has to be an ongoing en-forcement” by the city to ensure the animals are safe and the owners are reprimanded.

He cited a recent case in the Kootenays where an owner left his dog in the hot car and, when he returned, the animal was so distressed that it needed professional help; it died later at the veteri-narian’s clinic. An SPCA investigation is pending.

“It doesn’t matter how much media attention there is, there are some people out there who still believe it’s OK to leave a dog in a hot car,” said Eccles, adding the tem-perature inside a car can be as much as 20 C hot-ter than outside.

Besides ventilation, Eccles said there are a number of factors when considering if a pet is safe in a vehicle. These include the humidity on the day as well as the co-lour of the vehicle’s exte-rior and interior, the age and breed of the animal, and the colour and type of its coat.

Eccles said a post-mortem of a dog that has died as a result of heat exposure in a car often shows the internal organs are hard. “That means they’ve cooked,” he said.

His advice to pet own-ers is simple: “Just leave your animals at home. Don’t take the risk.”

PoCo is looking at locations for additional off-leash dog parksTwo current sites prove popular


The popularity of Port Coquitlam’s two off-leash dog parks has prompted a search for

new locations where residents can let their ca-nines roam free.

Two existing locations — one at Shaughnessy Street at Chester Place and a second at Maple Street and Bury Avenue — have become increasingly busy and consultation is expected to get underway

to find a another area. “These two dog off-

leash areas are highly utilized,” Robin Wishart, the city’s director of cor-porate support, wrote in a staff report. “This high usage has caused some dog owners to not use these areas at certain times due to the heavy

congestion.”City staff have iden-

tified six possible loca-tions, outlining the cost to build and operate each, including:

• the south end of Gates Park ($68,400 to build and $32,000 annu-ally to operate);

• a section of the

south side of Castle Park ($55,000/$17,500);

• a section of Skyline Park from Vivian Place to Paula Place under the BC Hydro towers ($27,900/$9,900);

• expansion of the Maple Street at Bury Avenue off-leash park ($40,200/$5,000);

• a section of Chelsea Park ($54,100/$11,000);

• and Cedar Drive trail between Lincoln and Prairie Avenue ($72,800/$9,400).

The staff report said public consultation would include online polling through the city’s website, notifications

through social media, print advertising and meetings with residents and dog owners. Signage will also be posted at the parks considered for off-leash areas alerting the public to the proposal and ways they can pro-vide [email protected]

Council OKs temporary permits for churches to host homeless programThree Coquitlam churches will host mat program

By Janis WarrenThe Tri-CiTy News

Three Coquit lam churches will serve as overnight homeless shel-ters as well as places of worship this winter.

On Monday, city coun-cil granted temporary use permits — good for two years each — to Coquitlam Alliance Church on Spuraway Avenue and Calvary Baptist Church on Regan Avenue.

Another Coquitlam church taking part in the rotating cold/wet weather mat pro-gram, Eagle Ridge Bible

Fellowship, already has a city permit to operate for a month during the cold, wet months of 2014/’15.

Last month, a Port Coquitlam city com-mittee approved a permit for Northside Community Church on Kingsway Avenue to take in homeless people for the night in January 2015. And, last October, Port Moody city council

officially changed the zoning for St. Andrew’s United Church on St. Johns Street to allow it to be part of the shelter program, too — but lim-ited it to no more than 62 days within the season.

It’s expected the tem-porary mat program will end in March 2015 as a permanent shelter opens later next year at 3030 Gordon Ave.

in Coquitlam, run by RainCity Housing and Support Society.

Lions care centre says it will sue FHABurquitlam facil-ity is losing FHA funding in 2 years

By Sarah PayneTHe Tri-CiTy News

The Burquitlam Lions Care Centre is set to close within the next couple of years after learning its Fraser Health funding will be going to a new, for-profit facility set to open in 2016.

“They plan on closing us down by ending our funding agreement,” said David Dines, Burquitlam’s administrator. “They’re say-ing the building is too old, but we’re not really. It’s all private rooms, fully accred-ited, so why do they want to close us down when they need 300 more beds?”

Dines was referring to a recent Fraser Health re-view that found the region is behind the provincial av-erage for care beds by at least 300.

According to Fraser Health, the new Port Coquitlam facility, called Nicola Lodge, will bring 136 new residential care beds to the Tri-Cities in ad-dition to the 76 it will take over from Burquitlam.

Dines said Burquitlam, a non-profit facility, opened in June 1981 and has been

a “top-level provider of care for seniors in that 33-year period.”

They are fully accredited and have been honoured with an exemplary stand-ing award by Accreditation Canada, something only 20% of long-term care fa-cilities receive, Dines said.

“There are lots of rea-sons to keep us going, but Fraser Health is taking our beds and funding and giv-ing them to a new building in PoCo.”

Fraser Health spokes-person Tasleem Juma said Burquitlam doesn’t offer the physical space needed for wheelchairs and walk-ers for complex care pa-tients.

“We’ve provided the centre and its residents with two years’ notice,” Juma said. “Staff and the care teams will meet with individual residents at Burquitlam and their fami-lies to develop proper tran-sition plans when the new facility opens.”

But Dines said many residents don’t want to move to Nicola because it will be about a 25-minute drive away.

Re-opening as a private-pay facility isn’t likely an option, he added, since it would add about $5,000 a month to the current $2,200 monthly fee, making it im-

possible for most seniors.Burquitlam is planning

to sue Fraser Health — a lawsuit has been drafted and sent to Fraser Health as a courtesy but has not yet been filed in court — saying they were excluded from the RFP process.

Dines said Burquitlam had applied to be in the RFP process but was later removed after a potential conflict of interest was found. The manager of the financial company back-ing the Burquitlam bid is also a member of the Provincial Health Services Association’s volunteer board of directors, but Dines said PHSA wasn’t even involved in the RFP — Fraser Health had handed that responsibil-ity over to Health Shared Services B.C.

Had Burquitlam won the contract, Dines said, the plan was to rebuild and grow to a 145-bed fa-cility.

Juma said Burquitlam did not satisfy the require-ments of the pre-qualifi-cation stage and was not asked to continue in the RFP process.

“The pre-qualification requirements are pretty clear,” Juma added. “I’m not aware of this being an issue of conflict of interest.”[email protected]

Shorter response times but longer time spent at fire calls: PoCo chiefBC Ambulance changes to blame, says Delmonico


The number of calls Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services re-ceives each year has stayed in lockstep with the city’s population.

But the length of time crews are spending at those calls has soared in the last year, said PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico.

He said the issue has resulted from a change in how the BC Ambulance Service prioritizes its calls, forcing firefight-ers to spend more time waiting for paramedics to show up to take victims to the hospital.

“They have changed their response protocols so they are able to get to what they believe are the more serious calls at the expense of lower or mid-range calls,” Delmonico said. “We have had calls as long as two hours where fire crews are waiting for an ambu-lance.”

Delmonico also ques-tions the ambulance service’s definition of a priority call. He said his crews recently waited 45 minutes at a scene where an amputation was nec-essary.

A less serious call where the victim is not in danger of dying may re-quire a quick ambulance response all the same, he added.

“There is an expecta-tion that granny shouldn’t lay there for an hour with a broken hip,” Delmonico said. “If BC Ambulance say they aren’t going to go because [the patient]

isn’t going to die, that is their call. We just don’t think it’s appropriate.”

The concerns over provincial government downloading were out-lined by the department in a mid-year business report to PoCo council, which was received by the finance and intergov-ernmental committee last week.

The report also found that firefighters had im-proved response times by 14 seconds so far this year over the adjusted 2013 figures. Delmonico noted that the improve-ment is part of a down-

ward trend over the last four years that he cred-its to better equipment usage.

The purchase of a medical truck has made it possible for firefighters to deploy more quickly and get to scenes where the larger fire trucks may not be required, he said.

In total, the department expects to attend 1,434 calls this year, a projec-tion based on the first six months of 2014. That total is down slightly from 2013 (1,455) and up from 2012 (1,352) and 2011 (1,238). [email protected]

NEWSui Sha Ya Japanese Restaurant has been a favorite with Tri-City diners for 2 decades. Over the years some faces may have changed and so has the building, but the friendly service and generous

portions are still the same. Now however the quality is even better, as

is the selection!

The Lunch All You Can Eat Menu now boasts over 40 items and the Dinner over 80 choices. Both now offer more Sashimi and Specialty Rolls and at Dinner you can now get Prawn and Fish Tempura.

Also, they have an a la carte menu and a special Combo menu that starts at $6.50. For me “All You Can Eat” buffets are a little overwhelming, as I can’t eat as much as my husband, (or even close) yet I have to pay the same price.

The new Combo Menu is much better for me as I still get a few options, but don’t pay as much. A perfect world for my hubby and myself!

In addition to the regular menu, the chefs weekly bring in a Feature Fish, fresh, via air from a different country. This exotic and innovative idea has become a huge hit with diners! Every

lunch and dinner, this busy place completely fills up with delighted diners who enjoy their fill of Sashimi, Sushi, Japanese appetizers and entrees.

The restaurant itself is bright and stylish with modern looking booths and Tatami rooms, the largest of which can be converted to hold up to 40 people, perfect for parties. The beautiful restaurant holds over a hundred people, and the friendly staff keep the flow of fabulous food arriving to your table as efficiently and deliciously as ever!

As always, the Sushi Chefs look very impressive at their Sushi Bar, making each new roll a thing of beauty! The presentation of the Sushi Boats is as always, amazing, delicately arranged to tantalize your eyes before they do the same to your taste buds!

Coquitlam’s original all-you-can-eat Japanese Restaurant would like to take this opportunity

to thank all their loyal customers for their valued patronage over the years and invite them all to visit them soon!

Be sure to keep Sui Sha Ya in mind for any get together! Every visit is sure to be a hit!

In induced coma, she doesn’t know she lost her legs

By Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

On a sunny morning last month, Kaureen Lamy was waiting at the bus stop on 88 Avenue and 148 Street in Surrey, on the way to her dream job.

Lamy, 35, was enam-oured with dogs and had attended school to learn the techniques required for her dog grooming job at Uptown Dawg in Port Moody, where she had worked for just two months.

Fate was about to deal Lamy an unthinkable blow.

Just before 8 a.m. on June 30, a Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck, which witnesses said ran a red light, careened off of a van and rocketed into the bus stop where Lamy was sitting.

She lost both her legs and suffered extensive organ damage and bro-ken ribs on impact. She remains in hospital, and as of Monday was un-dergoing surgery to deal with an infection in her right stump.

She also remains in a medically induced coma — she does not yet know she’s lost her legs.

“She’s not aware of what’s going on at all,” says her mom, Johanne Michelin. “She will open her eyes when her seda-tion wears off but she won’t recall anything of it.”

While Lamy is slowly mending, the community has responded in a big way through fundraising efforts that have been created in her name.

At Port Moody’s Uptown Dawg, where Lamy worked, the suds

were flying in her hon-our on July 20.

Manager Shannon O’Reilly said her staff members were going great guns, donating their services from noon to 4 p.m., during which time the dog grooming business raised $10,000 for Lamy’s care.

The money will go toward paying Lamy’s rent so she doesn’t lose her apartment, as well as various other costs.

“We had so many vol-unteers and so much help, it was just a nut house here,” O’Reilly says.

At least 200 people

came through to wash their dogs and donate to Lamy’s care. At the end of it, staff were ex-hausted, including O’Reilly, who is eight and a half months pregnant.

“My feet were like bal-loons and we were all in a bit of a blur but we just didn’t even think about it,” she said. “It was really just beautiful, the energy was so positive and ex-citing. It was awesome.”

Michelin said her daughter’s accident has resonated deeply with the public.

“So many people have been touched by her story,” she said. “Lots of people don’t even know her but they feel what we feel and what she feels.”

The help for Lamy began immediately at the time of the crash, when a couple of neighbours ran out of their house and put pressure on her wounds to stop the bleeding.

“She was bleeding to death,” Michelin says. “It was their efforts that stopped the bleeding enough to save her life.”

Lamy’s sister, Annick Lamy Wedley, started a web page on Go Fund Me (www.gofundme.com/b9hpc8) for future medical expenses. In the last 12 days, it has raised $6,035.

Michelin is taken aback by the public reac-tion.

“I want to thank every one of them with a big kiss and a hug but it would take me forever to do.”

CHARGES• Charges are expected

A proposal to test drill on Burke Mountain for a future rock quarry was withdrawn earlier this month.

On Monday, a provin-cial government spokes-person said Langley resident John Carley

had stopped the pro-posal from proceeding — nearly a year after the application was sub-mitted for review.

Carley told The Tri-City News last year he wanted to test drill on 111 acres of Crown

land to see if the rock could be excavated for construction and landscaping proj-ects. His plan for an investigative permit of the Quarry Road and Calgary Drive area raised a number

of concerns, includ-ing from city manag-ers and the Northeast Coquitlam Ratepayers’ Association.

The Ministry of Forests said Carley gave no reason for withdrawing.

Work in area of Jacobs road

Work on Ioco Road is slated to begin later this summer with a number of projects aimed at improv-ing safety around the Jacobs Road intersec-tion.

Council has been tossing ideas around since 2002, according

to a staff report, and after much public con-sultation, the 2010 Ioco Road Safety Project identified the main is-sues.

Port Moody will be issuing a tender pack-age on the final draft design shortly, with construction expected to begin in August.

Projects include: realigning Ioco near Jacobs about one

metre south towards Burrard Inlet; relocat-ing the bus stop on the eastbound side of Ioco to the east corner of Jacobs; making cross-walks more visible; im-proving sight lines on Ioco; and removing a few trees on city prop-erty adjacent to Ioco.

The work is ex-pected to cost about $460,000.

When the audited public accounts confirmed a $353-million sur-

plus for the last fiscal year, BC Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s elec-tion campaign. Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan.

“It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be imple-mented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describ-ing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing,

bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actu-ally limit health care expenditures to 2.7%.”

As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over 2%. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year but after annual in-creases of 6 or 7% had become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agreements re-main to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year.

Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed and increases are to be capped at 3% a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce.

Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline. Like health, the education budget goes up every year and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the BC Teachers’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is.

But the biggest fabrication of last year’s

election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s cam-paign bus.

The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the lat-est of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side while the province con-tinues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures.

“We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said.

“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrep-resentation, merely one of the most far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics.

The legislature is to convene in October so the BC Liberals can pass a taxation frame-work for the nascent liquefied natural gas

industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the prov-ince’s $60-billion mortgage.

Meanwhile, there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this

fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion.

Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus.

Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the elec-tion? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

‘One of most far-fetched promises ever delivered’

We’ll see if speed killsIt’s getting quicker to get around parts of British

Columbia.Earlier this month, the provincial government an-

nounced new, higher speed limits on 35 sections of rural highways, with more promised for later in the summer. In total, drivers will be able to put their gas foot down a little harder on 1,300 km of blacktop.

The Ministry of Transportation says serious crashes on provincial highways have decreased 28% since 2003. Cars are safer, drivers have more and better technology and education at their disposal. Enforcement is better.

While lead-footed drivers and owners of fast cars may celebrate the decision, not everyone is happy.

The RCMP officers who patrol many of those high-ways and attend to the carnage that sometimes results from excessive speeding don’t like the new limits. ICBC is worried about safety and vows to monitor those stretches of highway that have new limits to see if there’s an effect on crash rates and severity.

Truckers aren’t pleased with the new rules, either. The BC Trucking Association says it will direct drivers to stick to its current speed policies because the faster a fully loaded truck travels, the longer it takes to stop. Also, the faster a truck moves, the more fuel it con-sumes — and that money comes out of the pockets of truckers and, ultimately, consumers.

To alleviate safety concerns, the province has said it will adjust speed limits to weather conditions on some of those stretches of highway.

Too many drivers already treat speed limits as a sug-gestion, rather than law. Now, their threshold has just been raised.

TRI-CITYTRI-CITY leTTeRsPoMo pay parking opinionsThe Editor

Re. “Paying to park at Rocky Point will cost par-ents, biz” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 16).

Is a name change re-quired? Should we now be called the Dual-Cities plus Port Moody? Will your newspaper now be The Dual-City News?

Apparent ly, Port Moody’s leadership thinks so. Parking free for Port Moody residents only while all others pay for the privilege of using Rocky Point Park? What’s next?

Will visiting soccer and hockey teams be required to pay to play games at PoMo fields and rinks, to use the changing rooms?

Will Guildford Way become a toll road for its few Port Moody blocks?

Will parking for the Port Moody rec centre and library be the next target? After all, there will be an Evergreen Line sta-tion only blocks away.

Maybe Rocky Point is just the first slip on a very slippery slope.

I’m sure our good neighbours in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam will

realize that this step is not the will of the people of our city. We want your business. We want to be part of the Tri-Cities. We appreciate your generos-ity in allowing us to use your parks and amenities.

Please, don’t give up on us. Maybe we can change things — if more than a couple of hundred of us come out to vote on elec-tion dayGeorge Elgstrand,Port Moody

A SMALL PRICEThe Editor,

After reading letters opposed to pay parking at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, it baffles me that some users are com-plaining about the park not being free. I’d like to point out that there are no admission gates. Fees to be charged are for the privilege of parking only.

The old ParticipAC-TION program urged us to “Run, walk or bike.” The cost of doing this to access the park remains $0. There are also transit stops nearby. If you still choose to bring your car, a nominal fee of $1 per

hour is hardly onerous and the funds could go to beautification projects.

This is not unprec-edented as there is paid parking in Stanley Park, at Burnaby’s Deer Lake and other parks in the Lower Mainland.

As for affecting busi-ness, it seems unlikely that anyone spending upwards of $100 of more per couple to dine at the Boathouse would be deterred by $1 or $2 for parking.

The maintenance of Rocky Point is funded by the taxpayers of Port Moody. This does not change. No one likes tolls or parking charges but they can help reduce un-necessary traffic and pay for park improvements.M. Turner, Port Moody

‘MEAN-SPIRITED’The Editor,

A letter to Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay:

Please reconsider re-instating curbside glass recycling for Port Moody and also cancel the pay parking trial at Rocky Point Park.

Many people who can-

not afford vehicles or do not have ability to carry bags of glass to recycling depot will be depositing glass back in the garbage that will be adding to our already large landfills. This decision is short-sighted and bad for the environment. Not collect-ing glass for recycling is backward. Coquitlam has separate containers for glass and we should, too.

As for paying for park-ing at Rocky Point, this is mean-spirited and unfair for the many people who live outside Port Moody who also enjoy this beautiful gem of a park. It is also unfortunate for those who seek out free recreation, and adding cost of parking impacts these families directly.

An easier solution would be to monitor the amount of time that peo-ple park and make sure they are staying within a four-hour limit. Adding parking meters and hav-ing towing companies in-volved is not a positive or productive way to solve this issue.Maria Pichichero,Port Moody

The Editor,Re. “Was this wrong

time to go down to bi-weekly?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 18).

To claim that you are being asked to reduce your garbage by 50% is confused and inaccurate.

You are being asked to divide your waste into compostable matter (‘green waste’) and gar-bage. The green waste is picked up every week and, in fact, the standard-sized bin is enormous, as is the new garbage con-tainer. If you are sepa-rating your waste as di-rected, you should have very little garbage and it should certainly fit into the container provided for a bi-weekly pick up.

We also are a family of four and have been com-posting our vegetable and fruit waste for years and have never had a full garbage can on garbage day. As we near our first garbage pick-up after almost two weeks, our garbage can is not even a third full. That’s because all that is in there is ac-

tual garbage — no green waste or recycling.

The city’s information on this has been clear. People need to read the directions and adjust ac-cordingly. There has not been “a reduction of ser-vice by 50%.”

The new system should allow you to con-sume and discard as much as you ever have done but you do need to rethink what you see as garbage. Trish Matson, Coquitlam

New garbage system does not reduce service

Coquitlam’s new garbage collection system began on July 2 and includes weekly recycling and garden/kitchen waste pickup as well as bi-weekly garbage pickup.

Bikers speak up on bullying with ride2nd annual Bikes Against Bullies on Sunday in PoCo

By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy NewS

Hundreds of motor-cycle enthusiasts are expected to rev up their engines next week and ride in support of the Amanda Todd Legacy Society and programs supporting youth.

On Sunday, July 27, bikers, including Allan Plett, a Canadian Army veteran and retired paramedic, will turn out for the ride from the Port Coquitlam rec-reation complex to Trev Deeley Motorcycles in Vancouver to take a stand against bullying.

This is the second annual Bikes Against Bullying event and Plett said it’s important to par-ticipate because bullying is a problem everywhere — and not just for young people.

“We’re standing to-gether to show leader-ship,” said Plett, who expects a number of other members of

the Agira Unit of the Canadian Army Veteran Motorcycle Unit to par-ticipate in the ride.

This year’s event is ex-pected to be bigger and better than last year’s, according to Carol Todd, who started the Amanda Todd Legacy Society with a group of support-ers last summer as a way to channel energy and resources to programs supporting youth after her daughter died.

Amanda Todd was a Coquitlam high school student who committed suicide after posting a video about her tormen-tors. In April, B.C. RCMP laid charges against a 35-year-old Dutch citizen in connection with online sexual extortion of her and other youth.

Carol Todd, a teacher in School District 43, was on her way to New York City last week for an appearance on NBC Nightly News but said she will be back in time for the Bikes Against Bullying event.

Money raised will be used to raise awareness about bullying and also support programs such as Access Youth Services Society, which runs a bus serving at-risk youth in the Tri-Cities and Langley, the Kids Help Phone and the Boys and Girls Club.

“For me, it’s about raising awareness,” she said. “It’s about having a conversation and get-ting people to look at the issue and continuing to work on it.”[email protected]

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Carol Todd of Port Coquitlam and Allan Plett, president of the Agira Unit of the Canadian Army Veterans Motorcycle Unit, stand beside Plett’s 2010 Harley Davidson to promote Bikes Against Bullies, which runs Sunday, July 27 starting in PoCo.

Registration opens at 10 a.m. at the Port Coquitlam recreation complex; ride starts at 11 a.m., ending at noon at Trev Deeley Motorcycles, 1875 Boundary Rd., Vancouver, where there will be a barbecue, a raffle, a jumpstart simulator, live performances, speeches and a photo booth.

Bertrand’s death resulted in jury recommendations

By Sarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

A coroner’s inquest into the death of killer Darcy Richard Bertrand at the Mission Institution in 2012 has recommended better mental health services for inmates and mandatory suicide-prevention training for prison staff.

Bertrand was serv-ing a life sentence for the murders of three mem-bers of the Roufosse family in Maillardville almost 20 years ago. On Thanksgiving Sunday 1995, Bertrand, then 29, waited for the parents of his former common-law wife, Annette Roufosse, to leave Our Lady of Lourdes Church.

He stabbed 60-year-old Celine Roufosse, then her 63-year-old husband, Henry, when he came to her aid. Annette’s seven-year-old son witnessed the event and ran away. Bertrand then drove to the Roufosse home several blocks away, where he stabbed Annette 11 times.

In 1996, he pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 20 years. Had he survived, Bertrand would have been eligible to apply for escorted day passes in October.

On the morning of Aug. 14, 2012 a corrections of-ficer found Bertrand had hanged himself in his cell.

Staff performed CPR and he was later trans-ported to Abbotsford R e g i o n a l H o s p i t a l . Although Bertrand’s heart had resumed beating, he suffered a “severe hypoxic brain injury due to hang-ing” and died in hospital shortly after 6 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2012.

Sixteen witnesses were called to testify during the three-day coroner’s inquest in May 2014. The summary of findings notes that Bertrand openly iden-tified as a gay man of ab-original heritage, and at the time of his death he was applying for a transfer to the minimum-security Kwìkwèxwelhp Healing Village.

There were signs of trou-ble early in 2012, according to the inquest findings. Six months before his death, Bertrand filed a complaint against other inmates of his unit, saying he was being bullied and harassed based on his sexual orien-tation. But since he did not provide details, he was told by the Mission Institution that the complaint would not proceed.

The harassment report-edly continued and, two months before his death, a fellow inmate accused Bertrand of a serious crime. No charges were laid and two prisoners re-ported the accusation it-self may have been part of

the harassment.Four days before his

death Bertrand was ad-vised he would be re-ceiving an institutional charge for “inappropriate behaviour,” which the in-quest summary does not specify. The outburst led to Bertrand meeting with the institution’s registered psy-chiatric nurse (RPN) the day before he died, during which he expressed dis-tress about how the charge would affect his transfer application.

On the morning he died, Bertrand spoke with two prison staff members and a fellow inmate; each time, he was initially upset about the charge but left feeling somewhat better.

A corrections officer delivered the charge to Bertrand at 10 a.m. and, after a brief discussion, he said he was fine. He went to his cell alone at 10:40 a.m. and was discovered at 11:20 a.m.

Since Bertrand’s death, Mission Institution has required all employees, including contract staff, to take a one-hour online suicide-prevention course as well as a one-day class-room course. Staff now also receive practical train-ing in emergencies like suicide in the form of quar-terly scenarios.

The jury recommended increased resources for psychological services for the more than 350 inmates, many of whom are high-needs individuals, as well as the development of a na-

tional strategy to address bullying and harassment in prisons, particularly with regards to sexual orienta-tion and gender [email protected]

Port Coquitlam artist Gerry Thompson gets recognition at the international level for her still life paintings

Thompson’s most wonderful worldBy Janis Warren

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Gerry Thompson has painted her life.And, judging by the artwork dis-

played on the walls of her Port Coquitlam home, Thompson has lived a most glorious life — filled with adventure, beauty and love.

There are more than two dozen of her wa-tercolours, oils and acrylics up in her three-storey townhouse: some are originals, others are giclees though she admits she sometimes can’t tell them apart because of the high qual-ity of reproduction from the printer.

Her images are striking yet so calming. She has a marine series (boats at rest in Coal Harbour, where the water gently ripples un-derneath); a botanical collection (close-ups of lilies, tulips and roses found in Western Washington, California, Butchart Gardens and her friends’ home); a still life category (fine china, old gate latches, “treasures”); and an architectural study from her travels in France, Spain, Puerto Rico and elsewhere.

Thompson gives the viewer a lot to look at. She plays with dramatic light and shadows, creating a richness of textures, colours and details. Her Bijou d’Albi — a 36 by 48 inch acrylic on canvas that captures Sainte-Cecile

Cathedral in Albi, France, where she visited with a group in 2004 — took her a year to complete because of the intricacy of the Gothic style and the layers needed to achieve the most perfect composition with each brick.

Thompson has snapped enough pictures to last her another 50 years, she says, and so she uses these photographic memories to ply her trade to make “realistic abstract” art.

She works nearly every day, getting up at 8 a.m. to get down to business. Thompson has no formal studio so her laptop is on the kitchen table and her easel is in the centre of the fam-ily room, where she likes the natural light and the greenery poking out from the yard.

For her, art “is a very serious business,” she says, but it’s a process she enjoys immensely: from the long hours with the paint brush — often working on four or five pieces at a time — to the marketing, selling, exhibiting, jurying, submitting, demonstrating and teaching.

This and last month, Thompson was recog-nized by her peers at the international level. She was one of 12 Canadian artists to be in-vited to show in Fabriano, Italy, at a prestigious gathering of 400 artists. Thompson and her husband, Dennis Kiselbach, were at the open-ing gala of the six-week long exhibit.

When it comes to summer traditions, the opening of The Fair at the PNE has been a long-time favourite for Lower Mainland residents.

And this year is no exception with the Dal Richards Orchestra — and his two Tri-City singers — again kicking off the two-week event, with his famous big band sound.

Coquitlam’s Jennifer Hayes and Diane Lines of Port Moody will be on the PNE stage for two free evening shows: Saturday, Aug. 16 (open-ing day) with pianist Michael Kaeshammer and Thursday, Aug. 21 with trumpet player Bria Skonberg.

Hayes and Lines will also perform with the 96-year-old and his band on Monday, Aug. 4 for a free concert at the Harmony Arts Festival in West Vancouver. The dates are among two dozen private and public gigs they’ll have this year with the legendary con-ductor.

“We love working with

him,” Lines said. “He’s been a wonderful men-tor and we love that style of music. Not only is he keeping it alive but he’s probably the only person in the world that actually played big band music during the big band era.”

Added Hayes, “He does what he can and it’s amazing at his age that

he can still do that.... He really is an icon in the in-dustry and to be able to play music for so long re-ally speaks to the quality of his work.”

Hayes joined the Dal Richards Orchestra in 2001 after he heard her sing with a trio at an event for Tourism Vancouver, where she

was working at the time. Lines was recruited

as a pianist two years later. They were on the same bill at the Orpheum Theatre when, back stage, Lines boldly asked Richards, “When are you going to hire me?”

He did and she hit it off with Hayes immedi-ately. “It felt like we had been signing together all our lives,” said the alto singer who has worked with Michael Buble, Jim Byrnes and Shari Ulrich and is the assistant mu-sical director/arranger for the Universal Gospel Choir.

For the past decade, the pair has not only performed and recorded with Richards but also sung in smaller ensem-bles together, including recently in Whistler for a corporate function, and with the Diane Lines Trio (it will also be at the Harmony Arts Festival on Aug. 3 for her show called Jump!, A Celebration of Swing, Booie and the Jump Blues).

Now, Hayes and Lines have launched Student 2 Stage — a vocal train-ing program that encour-

ages singers in a master class setting and through a month-long series of workshops. They hope to bring Student 2 Stage to schools as well, teach-ing youth about music techniques, jazz phras-ing and improvisation. Hayes feels the sessions are especially important for young people “as the music and arts funding are being cut back” by boards of education.

• Space is still avail-able for their Sept. 21 Student 2 Stage work-shop at Treetops Studios. For more information, go online at jenniferhayes.ca or [email protected]

COURTESY OF GERRY THOMPSON

Gerry Thompson’s Perpetual Fragrance was featured in the magazine International Artist.

‘I feel like I’ve had lifetimes within my lifetime’: Thompson

It features The Gathering #2, a piece that also clinched third prize from the magazine International Artist, which published the work in its June/July issue. And this month, another highly regarded art magazine, American Art Collector, did a two-page spread on her.

Thompson feels honoured by the recent praise and success of Thompson Studios, a company she formed some 40 years ago after moving from Three Hills, AB — where she first plucked up the courage to pick up her husband’s paint brush while on crutches and expecting her second child — to Abbotsford. Then, Thompson Studios had 50 students learning art, piano and music theory, and training teachers. On the side, the mother-of-three played violin in the Fraser Valley Symphony Orchestra, piano at her church and at the department store Breton’s, in Burnaby, and took art classes at the Fraser Valley College (now UCFV) and later Western Washington University, across the

American border.After she earned her fine arts

diploma with majors in painting and printmaking — a two-year program that took her four years to complete because of her busy schedule — her instructor recom-mended she teach the college’s continuing eduction watercolour classes.

Thompson agreed and ended up teaching for eight years. When she left in 1989, her students asked her, “‘What are we supposed to do now?’ I told them to start a group.”

What emerged was the Fraser Valley Watercolours Society, which just marked its 25th year. “That’s something that I’m very proud of,” Thompson says with a pat of her knee.

Her children are also a source of pride. As they were raised in a home filled with music and art, all three have her creative flair and disciplined work ethic, she says. Her son has his doctor-ate of music from the University of Colorado and is a professor at Trinity Western University, her sec-ond child is an interior designer for Stantec while her youngest

has her master’s degree from the University of Manchester in phi-lanthropy work.

Thompson tries to see her fam-ily as often as she can despite her hectic regime, painting six hours a day and managing her commer-cial business with Kiselbach.

A signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, she is regularly called to jury exhibitions and to teach workshops. Next March, she will be in Yellowknife, NWT, for a class. Thompson likes to mix beginners with profession-als because, she says, “we’re all looking at the same blank canvas.” She puts them to ease, showing them to paint shapes instead of focusing on the entire subject.

Asked what chapter of her long career she has been most con-tent, Thompson says she’s now at her happiest. “I feel like I’ve had lifetimes within my lifetime,” she says, and ends the interview with a piano performance of What a Wonderful World. “It’s always been one of my favourites.”

GREG SAKAKI/BlAcK PRESS

Miranda Dinwoodie of Port Coquitlam bumps the ball during beach volleyball competition Saturday at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo.

Athletes shine at Summer GamesTri-City competi-tors bring home hardware after Nanaimo event


The Tri-Cities were well represented at last weekend’s B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo with a hand-ful of local competitors bringing home medals.

One of the contes-tants who earned a spot on the podium was Coquitlam runner Jasmine Lew, who had a personal best in the 100 m preliminary heat with a 12.39 s run.

But her new record wouldn’t hold up for long. The 14-year-old beat her earlier per-sonal best in the 100 m final, running a 12.32 to earn the gold medal.

Lew a lso had a strong showing in the 200 m, which she ac-complished in 25.84 s, just short of a silver medal, while her team in the 4x100 relay set

a Summer Games re-cord with a 48.64 s showing.

S h e w i l l c o m -pete next in the 2014 Canadian Leg ions Youth Track and Field C h a m p i o n s h i p i n Langley next month.

Lew was not the only local athlete to have a strong showing in Nanaimio.

Grade 9 Riverside secondary s tudent Olivia Willett brought home gold in the 1,500 m steeplechase with a time of 5:09.38, improv-ing on her third place showing at the Fraser Valley Track and Field Championships and B.C. provincials last month.

Meanwhi le , Max Botsis brought home a silver medal in the 1,500 m race walk, while Jacqueline Lew won a gold medal in wres-tling and Nicholas Lew took home a bronze in the same sport. Clara Corbett, another wres-tler, won gold in the 54-kg category.

sharma of the Panthers traded to Mission

When the Port Moody Panthers start the Pacific Junior Hockey League hockey season this fall, they will be doing it without the ser-vices of forward Ryan Sharma.

The 18-year-old Surrey native, who scored no goals and 10 assists last season, is head-ing to the Mission City Outlaws for future consider-ations. Sharma, a burly 6’5”, 210 lb. skater, also spent 115 minutes in the penalty box last season.

He debuted with the Panthers in the fall of 2012 and played 35 games in the 2013-14 sea-son.

E a r l i e r t h i s month, former P o r t M o o d y Panther Robby Jang announced he would be join-ing up with Simon Fraser University’s m e n ’ s h o c key team next year.

The 5’9” forward was a Port Moody m i n o r h o c key l e a g u e p r o d -uct who split his time between the Manitoba Junior Hockey League and the PJHL last season.

Peewee PoCo Saints finish first at provincial tourneyJack Hinder net-

ted a hat trick for his Port Coquitlam Saints on the way to a 7-4 vic-tory over Saanich at the B.C. Peewee Provincial Championships in Richmond last week.

Rahil Mawji added a pair in the victory, while Tyler Wren and Mitchell

Watson each picked up pairs in the match.

The win capped off a 28-2 season for the Saints, who defeated Shuswap 8-2 to get to the provincial championship match.

Goaltender Daniel Bowers was key to hold-ing off the Saanich of-

fence and he was named MVP of the game.

Saanich was on the ropes for most of the match.

PoCo jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first and added two more in the second to take a 3-1 lead going into the final frame.

But the Saints’ oppo-nents were not finished yet.

Saanich mustered three goals in the third to close the gap, however it was not enough to best the PoCo squad, who added four of their own in the final frame. [email protected]

The boys Fraser Valley Zone 3 field lacrosse squad, which featured several players from the Coquitlam Adanacs minor lacrosse program, won gold. Meanwhile, Anthony White, Dante Bandiera and Kieran Eve brought home gold med-als when the Fraser Valley boys soccer squad won gold over the weekend. The team went 5-0 in the tournament, outscoring all opponents by a total of 25-0, a Summer Games record.
