Summer fun? Not if your family is hungry

SHARE FOOD BANK A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME...

Food donations aren’t just needed for needy at XmasDIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

People on summer vaca-tion may not be thinking about the local food bank but food is needed now more than ever, says Valerie Hutton, the director of fund develop-ment for Share Family and Community Services.

Hutton said food bank

shelves are emptying quickly as canned and dried goods collected during the winter are used to fill hampers for needy families in the Tri-Cities.

“We also need to remem-ber that many of our commu-nity’s children are participants in our school district breakfast and lunch programs, so with school out for the summer, the call to support these fami-lies is even greater,” Hutton said, noting that 37% of Share’s food bank clients are children under the age of 18.

Farmers face big costs and climate change issuesDIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

Karam Dhanwant has been growing blueber-ries in Port Coquitlam

for more than 30 years and he hopes there will still be farmers eking out a living in the area long after he’s gone.

But the owner of Ankars Farms is worried the high costs of production, low wholesale prices and pressures of devel-opment will make agriculture a thing of the past in the city.

“You can’t make money at it,” said Dhanwant, who has about 12 acres of blueberry bushes on 25 acres of farmland on the north side.

On a sunny Wednesday, Dhanwant sat in the shade of a storage shed on his Burns Road property selling 10-lb. boxes of blueberries and raspberries to moms with toddlers in tow.

He’s one of the few local farms to offer roadside sales and Dhanwant expects to have blueberries through to mid-September, thanks to new varieties of crops that can handle changes in the weather through to fall.

He said he has noticed fields are drier in the summer be-cause of climate change and in winter, heavier rains are water logging blueberry bushes.

But it’s not just the day-to-day weather and price per pound problems that has Dhanwant concerned. He believes inves-tors will soon buy up tracts of land in the hopes that it can be taken out of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

PROPERTIES SOLDHe’s not far off the mark.

Some properties have sold recently in a special study area

where the city has decided the new Fremont Connector will go. These lands are still in the ALR and to get them out won’t be easy, said realtor Brad Parrotta.

And investors holding the land in the hopes it may one day be developed are paying top dollar to do so. For example, a seven-acre property on the west side of Devon Road, in the special study area, recently sold

for $2.5 million while a similar-sized property east of Burns Road, outside of the special study area, sold for $1.9 million.

The latter property had much nicer buildings but the property sold for less, likely because the chances of being removed from the ALR are slimmer.

“That’s the message I got from the ALC [Agricultural Land Commission],” Parrotta said. “Very firm, very clear: They don’t want things to change, especially on the east side.”

A major complaint of local farmers is that the soil is poor

and too soggy for farming; as well, PoCo farms are typically small — between five and seven acres — which limits agricul-tural opportunities. Those who do farm tend to grow blueber-ries and hay, or they keep poul-try, and a few cattle to maintain their agricultural status.

The result is very little food farming is being done in PoCo, and a Metro Vancouver survey found just 23% of the city’s farmland, and 33% in Coquitlam, is in production.

Dhanwant said farmers have little incentive to farm because the investment required to amend the soil and build the infrastructure is too high.

“Nobody’s taking an interest because there is no money in it,” he told The Tri-City News.

He would like to see zon-ing policies change to per-mit housing on the front of properties so farmers can get enough capital to farm more intensely in their back acreage. Blueberries are an ideal crop, he said, because they fetch top dollar in China.

“We can go to China, we can go to India and if we can make it we can make more income, PoCo can have a strong agri-cultural economy.”

NEW TECHNOLOGYFarming in PoCo may be

considered marginal but Metro Vancouver is taking seriously the need to protect areas where food can be grown.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWSRight: Karam Dhanwant, owner of Ankars Farms, at his roadside stand off Burns Road on Port Coquitlam’s north side. Left: Blueberries, which are now in season — about two weeks earlier than usual. Besides being available at farms, fresh B.C. blueberries can also be purchased at the Coquitlam Farmers Market on Sundays at Dogwood Pavilion and Port Coquitlam’s market on Thursdays at Leigh Square.

What’s the future of PoCo farmland?AGRICULTURAL LAND

BLUEBERRY SEASON HAS ARRIVEDThe blueberry season has arrived and it’s two weeks early,

says local farmer Karam Dhanwant, but not too soon for those who love the tasty, antioxidant-rich fruit.

Raspberries are also available at his Port Coquitlam farm, although strawberry season is over.

Ankars, at 2952 Burns Rd., is one of a number of places Tri-City residents can go to get berries.

Tabitha McLoughlin of Coquitlam Farmers Market says blueberries are also available at the Coquitlam Sunday mar-ket in the parking lot at Dogwood Pavilion off Poirier Street.

“We do have blueberries at the market, and cherries, blackberries and raspberries. Even some soft fruits like apri-cots — things are so early this year it’s crazy.”

The Coquitlam Farmers Market runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. while the Port Coquitlam Farmer’s Market runs Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m. at Leigh Square., where fresh B.C. blueberries are also available.

HEALTHY BERRIESWhat’s good about blueberries? Plenty, according to re-

searchers in Canada and the U.S., who consider them “super fruits.”

A good source of antioxidants, blueberries can help slow the aging process and reduce cell damage that can lead to cancer, cardiovascular disease and loss of brain function. Blueberries also contain condensed tannins that help pre-vent urinary tract infections, and anthyocyanin, a natural compound linked to reducing eyestrain, according to the BC Blueberry Council.

A half cup serving of blueberries is the equivalent of a single serving of fruits and vegetables recommended by the Canadian Food Guide.

The regional government is finalizing a food security plan — in which PoCo is considered an “eater” rather than a “feeder — and keeping local farmland in the ALR may be key.

Laura Lee Richard, PoCo’s director of development ser-vices, said the city is “philo-sophically” in support of its farmlands, approximately 568 acres of which are located in the city’s northeast, and will soon vote on new zoning regu-lations that would restrict the size of a home on ALR land and require it to be located at the front of the property.

“That means you have a larger area at the back that would be available for farming — that’s where the protection is,” Richard said.

But PoCo’s plan doesn’t go far enough for Dhanwant, who said farmers needed to be able to sell off frontage, one house per acre, to get enough capital for investment.

Meanwhile, the Agricultural Land Commission is not back-ing down on its view that PoCo land is still good for farming. In a letter to the city on March 8, the ALC acknowledged that a high water table contributes to drainage issues but stated those can be managed and new technology has made farming methods affordable. It also predicts that more fre-quent drought in the future may “elevate these limitations

to advantages.”But without an environment

supportive of local agricultural, it’s likely little will change.

The province is trying to boost B.C. agriculture and many of zoning changes being introduced by PoCo will line up with provincial regulations aimed at supporting urban agriculture and agri-tourism, allowing bed and breakfasts as accessory home businesses, for example, and permitting farm education and research facili-ties. (A public hearing on the changes is set for July 11).

OCP CHANGESThe city also wants to update

its official community plan in the coming months to better support food production, in-cluding measures to promote small mixed farms, market and rooftop gardens and community orchards, buy-local campaigns

and community grocery stores.PoCo also has to deal with

the special study area when it reviews its OCP because some properties in the zone may not be viable as farms once the Fremont connector is built. That will likely be a contentious process, requiring vetting by Metro Vancouver and the ALC.

But Dhanwant said because farmers are independent, they aren’t likely to band together to promote change — and all the while, investors are quietly buy-ing up land still in the ALR.

“They’ll just wait and use their power to get the land out of the ALR,” Dhanwant said.

As to whether foreigners are behind investment in PoCo ag-ricultural lands, Parrotta doesn’t believe so, although he said the investors are taking the long view when they purchase the land and some have ties to fam-ily outside the country. Hobby farmers are also buying acreage with plans to stay, he said.

But whether PoCo farms will be around in another gen-eration is impossible to say. Historically, in the Tri-Cities, the pressure has been to develop.

Noted Parrotta: “A friend of mine’s father who is probably in his 70s, when he was a little boy said that corner of Como Lake and Clarke [Road] was farmland and Clarke was a dirt road. In such a short amount of time, it’s hard to imagine, but in 100 years, it’s gone from farm to highrises.”

To fill shelves again, Share is holding a summer food drive with the goal of collecting 10,000 lb. of food and raising $10,000 for the food bank, which sup-ports approximately 400 fami-lies in need each week.

There are several ways to help:

• visit www.sharesociety.ca and donate online;

• call Shawna at 604-529-5105 and make a donation over the phone;

• donate food directly to Share’s food bank at 2615 Clarke St. in Port Moody (go to rear of the building);

• drop a food donation off at any local grocery store;

• or host a food drive or fundraiser (you can find out more at sharesociety.ca/host-a-fundraiser).

Share is also hosting an open house Saturday, July 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for families to come and learn more about the

food bank. There will be a char-ity barbecue, food bank tours and activities for kids.

As well, watch out for an up-coming grocery store food drive to take place July 16 and 17.

“Most people think about do-nating to the food bank during the Christmas holiday season but the food bank is a year-round operation,” Hutton said.

“Come summer, our reserve of food starts to shrink and it is only through the wonderful generosity of the local commu-nity that we are able to restock the shelves and continue to pro-vide food hampers up until the traditional giving season again.”

Recently, a report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives painted a picture of working people who are struggling to make ends meet on annual salaries of $33,936 or less for a family of four, includ-ing growing numbers of people living in Coquitlam and Port Moody.

The report, covered in a story

by The Tri-City News’ last edi-tion and titled “Working Poverty in Metro Vancouver,” Growing job insecurity, low-paying part-time jobs without benefits and contract work are among the financial issues at the same time housing, food and other neces-sities are increasingly more expensive.

The report notes that the re-gion’s booming economy relies on low-paid workers to provide security, catering, cleaning, ad-ministration and other services, and people employed in those industries face some of the most expensive housing in Canada.

Vancouver’s suburbs, often considered bastions of leafy, comfortable affluence, have growing pockets of poverty, the report states, noting that Coquitlam and Port Moody have seen growth in poverty rates above 30% between 2006 and 2012.

A longer education journey is paying offEDUCATION

DIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

Four years ago, Arman Torkaman sat in Grade 10 English class at Pinetree sec-ondary school feeling alone and bored.

Today, he’s a high school graduate studying to be a heavy duty mechanic, owns a dog and a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, which he is paying for with a job at Home Depot in Port Coquitlam.

But the journey to gradu-ation took a few extra years for the young man, now 21, who received his diploma last Thursday at commencement ceremonies at Inlet Theatre in Port Moody.

Torkaman said when he ar-rived at Pinetree from Iran he was 18 and should have been in Grade 12 but he missed a year of school while waiting for his visa to arrive back home and, once in Canada, was put into

Grade 10 English to improve his skills.

It was a challenge.

“I’m 18, almost 19, and I already look older, and I have to get Grade 10 English,” he said.

“People are working in groups in special projects. I wouldn’t blend, I would sit in a corner. It

was a kind of a mess.”Finally, though, at age 19,

things started coming together for the young man when it was recommended he obtain his high school accreditation through the Coquitlam Open Learning and Customized Learning Centre.

The tuition-free adult gradu-ation program allowed him to finish the required number of credits while still working to pay off his car loan. He also became more confident and earned his forklift certification through SD43.

Torkaman says he has no regrets about his parents’ decision to send him and his sister to Kuala Lumpur for high school so their only son could avoid military service. They had hoped to immigrate to Canada but their visas were held up when Canada closed the em-bassy in Tehran due to troubles there.

Torkaman looks on his high school years as a period of self-discovery. After a car accident set him back financially, he had to spend more time working than studying, but he never gave up on the plan to finish high school.

Now, he credits his persever-ance, the support of his parents and the flexible schedule at Coquitlam Open Learning for his graduation.

“There are basically two ways to approach your problems,” he said. “One, you remove it by not thinking about it, or you solve it. At the end, you have to face the consequences.”

Three months ago, Torkaman became a Canadian citizen, and is free to pursue his dreams, including making hip hop music.

Said Torkaman: “Now I can get on with my life.”


DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWSArman Torkaman, 21, originally from Iran, graduated last week from School District 43’s Coquitlam Open Learning and Customized Learning Centre.

CITY GOVERNMENT

PoCo joins call for asbestos regulation

WORKPLACE SAFETY

Cities want licens-ing for asbestos contractors

Port Coquitlam city council joined the call this week to see mandatory certification and licensing for contractors removing asbestos and other hazardous materials.

At Monday’s meeting, council unanimously passed a resolution to have the issue put on the agenda at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM)

convention in Victoria this September.

PoCo’s move comes as the cities of Burnaby and Vancouver also press the provincial government for regulations around asbestos exposure — the leading cause of work-related deaths in B.C. Currently, there is no provin-cial certification or licensing in B.C. of asbestos abate-ment professionals to ensure standards and to allow for the suspension of non-compliant contractors.

The BC Federation of

Labour has applauded the mu-nicipalities’ action.

“Many believe that asbestos exposure only happens in the workplace but that’s just not true,” said Lee Loftus, presi-dent of the BC Building Trades Council, in a press release. “Asbestos has been installed in our schools, community centres, shopping malls, librar-ies and homes for more than a half century. When it is dis-turbed, workers and the public are being exposed unwillingly.”

Suspects sought in a PoCo home invasion

TRI-CITY CRIME

Coquitlam RCMP are investigating an early morn-ing home invasion in Port Coquitlam.

Three men are believed to have entered an apartment in the 2600-block of Burleigh Ave.

at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.A man and woman who

were inside the apartment were restrained and the man sustained non-life threatening injuries.

B.C. taking over real estate regulation

REAL ESTATE

BLACK PRESS

A new Superintendent of Real Estate will take over regulation of the B.C. industry, Premier Christy Clark an-nounced Wednesday.

Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong said a the cur-rent industry-led Real Estate Council of BC will be replaced by a board with a majority of “public interest, non-industry members,” and fines for real estate misconduct are to be increased.

Clark said the maximum fine for individuals will go to $250,000, and twice that for real estate brokerages. The government is adopting all the recommendations of an independent advisory group, including banning realtors from representing both buyer and seller in a transaction.

“The real estate sector has had 10 years to get it right on self-regulation and they haven’t,” Clark said.

Clark said there will be more changes announced in the next few weeks to help people get into the real estate market in urban areas where house prices are spiralling.

In his latest budget, de Jong increased the property pur-chase tax exemption level from

$475,000 to $750,000 for new homes only, and increased the tax rate from 2% to 3% on the value of homes in excess of $2 million.

Clark was non-committal on a proposal by the city of Vancouver to impose a tax on vacant homes. She said the province is studying whether it has a role to play in such a tax, and repeated the federal hous-ing minister’s position that all levels of government are needed to deal with housing affordability.

Also on Wednesday, BC New Democrat Party leader John Horgan called for a multi-agency task force to fight tax

fraud and money laundering in the B.C. real estate market-place.

“The residential real estate industry involved more than $65 billion in transactions last year. The premier needs to do much more than just tinker around the edges of this prob-lem in our real estate market-place,” he said.

“For a relatively low cost, an integrated team could investigate and prosecute tax fraud, money laundering, and make recommendations on strengthening our tools for detecting and prosecuting bad apples in the B.C. real estate sector,” Horgan said.

Chevalier, Sutherland homes on PM register

PORT MOODY

One dates to 1909 and the other to Second World WarSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody has added two homes to its heritage register, both of them in Moody Centre.

The owners of the Chevalier House, at 2602 Henry St., commissioned a Statement of Significance by Donald Luxton and Associates after some ini-tial research piqued their inter-est in the home’s history.

Built in 1909 by Théodore Chevalier, the home is an “excellent example of vernacu-lar, Edwardian-era workers’ cottage architecture in Port Moody,” according to Luxton’s report.

Chevalier had come from Quebec to work at the Fraser Mills sawmill in Coquitlam, one of a handful of workers who settled in Port Moody instead of Maillardville. He leased the lot, as well as the one beside it to the east, from PoMo sawmill owner James Sharpe Emerson, and built two homes with the help of his four sons.

In 1911, Chevalier built St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, and went on to run the shipping shed for the Thurston-Flavelle Mill. One of his sons, as well as his daughter, both married into the well-known Paré family of Maillardville.

The home’s current own-ers are planning to restore the heritage elements of the home while modernizing the interior.

Also added to the heritage register at Tuesday’s council

meeting was the Sutherland residence.

Built in 1944, the home at 2830 St. George St. was originally owned by Ross Sutherland, a mill worker at the Thurston-Flavelle sawmill, and was likely built from local mill materials. According to Luxton’s report, it is among the few homes built during the Second World War.

“The home’s simplicity illus-trates an adherence to conven-tional domestic styles, reflect-ing the social and economic consciousness of the wartime period,” the report states.

The home will be moved, at the developer’s expense, to 123 Douglas St. to make way for a 12-unit townhouse devel-opment at 2824 and 2830 St. George St.


Brewery AsKs FOr A TeMP. PATiO LiCeNCe

The latest addition to Port Moody’s Brewer’s Row will be opening its patio to craft brew patrons this summer.

Parkside Brewery, which opened June 8, will operate the patio under a summer-long special event permit on a trial basis, according to a staff report.

The brewery’s occupancy permit allows for seating up to 104 people inside the building but the zoning bylaw doesn’t permit outdoor uses. Parkside has applied for a zoning amendment but the process would likely take several months.

Staff suggested that while the zoning amendment pro-cess is underway, the special events permit could allow Parkside to use the patio on a temporary, trial basis to see whether any issues arise before the amendment goes to council.

Don’t spoil his appetite for eye stabbingsSpoiler alert! If you do not want to know the exact

number of eye stabbings in the television show Game of Thrones, stop reading now, because it is

quite a shocking amount of eye stabbings.Other than that, I hope to write something here that

everyone can enjoy even if they are still planning to watch the hit show at a future date and don’t want to have main plot lines spoiled for them.

I wish other news outlets provided the same cour-tesy. I am one of the many who is catching up but not quite ready to watch the latest episodes. I’ve learned the simple tricks to avoid spoilers: You can’t go on Twitter during the airing of an episode or in the fol-lowing hours. You must be ready to bolt the workplace lunchroom at a moment’s notice. Instead of attending parties, you probably should just chain yourself up in a dungeon.

I’ve taken what I thought were all the proper precau-tions but I still couldn’t avoid spoilers. Recently, I went on a popular “sports and culture” website looking for witty and irreverent coverage of the NBA finals. Instead,

I happened upon a huge spoiler from the latest GoT episode. Now, this wasn’t just a teaser or half spoiler, this was a major plot line, verifying that major charac-ters were still alive (never a given with this show) and describing exactly what those characters did. And this wasn’t buried inside a story or through a click, it was the headline of the top story. The headline!

I’ll share the headline with you here with the spoiler details omitted: “XXXX and XXXX finally XXXX. Now what’s next?”

I suppose they think it’s cool because they’ve put “Now what’s next?” at the end of the headline. What were some other top headlines from past reviews on this website (old spoiler alert):

• Thelma and Louise: “Thelma and Louise drive off a cliff. Now what’s next?”

• Star Wars: “Darth Vader is Luke’s father. Now what’s next?”

• The Bible: “Jesus comes back to life. Now what’s next?”

Truth be told, if I had been caught up on GoT, I would

have clicked the hell out of that headline. But I’m not caught up and it sucks to have things spoiled. I got into the series really late and am watching one or two epi-sodes every night before I go to bed.

It’s always exciting to discover what final image will be branded on my brain just before bedtime. Will it be (spoiler alerts) burning a child at the stake?

Dagger in the eye?Incest?Sword in the eye?An army of the dead?Thumb in the eye?Or will it be... dragons?Sorry! Sorry! I should have warned you I was going to

say “dragons.”However, if you haven’t reached the dragon part of

the show yet, you’re way behind and have no legit griev-ance.

I certainly won’t stand for you keeping me strapped to this giant wooden X thingy. And put down that dag-ger!

Paying for PoCo produceFarming in Port Coquitlam is tough. It’s no 1930s

dustbowl but the agricultural area has a high water table, the farms are small and close to resi-

dential areas, and a new road for Burke Mountain traffic is being planned.

Can anything be done to save PoCo farming? The city is doing its best to promote local farming with proposed changes to the zoning bylaw to expand how farm proper-ties are used for agriculture and to promote agri-tourism.

But this may not be enough to convince landowners to farm — currently less than 25% of PoCo ALR land is being farmed — when the pressure is on to develop and it’s so expensive to invest in proper drainage and facilities.

Still, there’s a dream that if everyone gets behind local farmers and is willing to buy their crops and support the industry that PoCo could one day be a high-producing agricultural region.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:Are you willing to pay higher prices for local, organic produce to make farming viable in the Tri-Cities?

Protecting species at riskTRI-CITY WILDLIFE #1

The Editor,Pamela Zevit, a profes-

sional biologist from the South Coast Conservation Program (SCCP), spoke with students at Anmore’s Eagle Mountain middle school in February about local species at risk. Many students became con-cerned when they found that roads — such as the proposed David Avenue extension through Bert Flinn Park — can severely impact sensitive habi-tat for local species at risk, like the northern red-legged frog.

Three of the students began a petition on change.org, titled “Save the Red-Legged Frog.” So far, it has 344 signatures. At 500 signatures, the students will present the petition to city of Port Moody and village of Anmore. They hope creative development planning will help to prevent the frogs — found only in the Pacific Northwest — from disappearing locally. The students want to ensure that municipalities understand what is important to their residents. On their Weebly blog, they say they have good reason to believe the frog may become extinct in Bert Flinn Park if a

road is built through the middle of its habitat; they feel it is vital to raise awareness.

During the past four years, biologist Ann Marie Oktaba, an Anmore resident who has a small breeding pond on her property for the frogs, worked to increase awareness about their breeding habitat. She encouraged several Anmore residents to work with the SCCP’s nature stewards pro-gram to help enhance their backyard habitat. When the SCCP toured their properties, further sensitive habitats for the frogs were identified. “The idea to protect local species at

risk is gaining momentum and it’s great to see the community come together to save a spe-cies that needs our help. It’s so inspiring to see others take ac-tion, especially young students who have no ulterior motives except to see that these native frogs continue to have a home,” said Oktaba.

In Canada, northern red-legged frogs are found only on the west coast of B.C. and, like many other species at risk, are under immense pressure from development, invasive species and human activity. According to Zevit, more than 70% of wetlands on British

Columbia’s south coast have been lost over the past century. Of the wetlands left, many local native frog populations are out-competed for habitat by the larger, introduced American bullfrog and green frog. The bullfrogs also prey on native frogs, reducing their numbers. The last remaining strongholds for northern red-legged frogs in Metro Vancouver may be small wetlands: pocket bogs, marshes and swamps in and around large urban forests and streams.

If children recognize the value of protecting healthy na-tive frog populations in places like Anmore and Port Moody, shouldn’t we?

To support the students in their quest to protect our frogs, sign their petition at www.sa-vetheredleggedfrogbc.weebly.com.

Please don’t feed the coyotes – or any of the other wild animals

TRI-CITY WILDLIFE #2

The Editor,Monday evening, several

people told me they saw a beautiful young coyote in Como Lake Park, despite a large number of humans and dogs. When I reached the south end of the pathway, I, too, saw the animal, near the parked cars, eating something. On closer inspection, that something turned out to be a whole loaf of sliced bread and six hamburger buns.

My approach scared the coy-ote away long enough for me to collect and dispose of the food to minimize the animal’s chances of human interaction; a group of people were closing in to take photos. The bread was quite fresh and had obvi-ously been put where it was, not just thrown from a car.

The young coyote was

already losing its natural wari-ness at being near people and food handouts would only make matters worse. As a long-time wildlife rehabilitator and animal lover, I have seen the tragic results when wild crea-tures become used to people. It is too often a death sentence for the animal, which is then often classed as a “nuisance.”

Please, people, let birds and animals find their own natural food — don’t tempt them with yours to get a cute picture. The slogan “a fed animal is a dead animal” is all too true.

Enjoy them in their own space — at a distance — and don’t litter our beautiful Coquitlam parks with piles of discarded food, which, inci-dentally, attracts rats as well.Elizabeth Thunstrom, Coquitlam

DIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam tech whiz kids Dominic and Michael Vogel have had a busy six months and now, with a pitch to Dragon’s Den under their belts, the Riverside grads are hoping for big things for their Bitcoin software Netcoins.

This week, The Tri-City News caught up with Michael Vogel fresh from the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Silicon Valley, where he heard from the likes of U.S. President Barack Obama and CEOs from Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, AirBnB and Uber, who spoke about the latest trends in tech-nology and entrepreneurship.

There were close to 700 en-trepreneurs from 170 countries at the event and Vogel said he was thrilled to be among those chosen to attend the seventh annual event held June 23 and

24 at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Cal.

“It’s not a cast you would see together. It was interesting to see these guys in their natural environment,” he said.

One of the biggest lessons Vogel said he learned is that you don’t have to be located in Silicon Valley to have a suc-cessful technology start-up; in fact, advantages such as lower start-up costs can be a benefit to techpreneurs launching a busi-ness outside the U.S.

That’s good news for the Vogels, who are forging ahead with their Netcoins (gonetcoins.com) software that turns any digital device into an ATM machine for bitcoin, which is a digital currency gaining traction in the finance industry, gaming and among online retailers.

Recently, they signed a deal with Gateway Newsstands, which has a store in Coquitlam Centre, to sell bitcoin through

their Netcoins software, and a new partnership with Flexepin will allow customers to pur-chase up to $500 in bitcoin at a time at a variety of retailers, including all Esso gas stations. The service is expected to go live on July 1.

Also this spring, the Vogels pitched Netcoins to the inves-tors on CBC’s Dragon’s Den and while the outcome can’t be revealed, Michael Vogel said the experience was interesting and the episode should give more awareness to bitcoin as an alter-native currency.

“When people watch it, they’ll enjoy it for sure,” said Vogel, who expects it will be on an episode featuring other family busi-nesses. “I think Canadians will watch the show and they’ll get a good chance to get up to speed on the bitcoin narrative and they’ll root for us along the way.”

Popularity of craft breweries prompts a Murray St. biz to branch outSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody’s Brewer’s Row has a not-so-new kid in town but this addition offers salty snacks to go along with your lager or ale.

Craft beer devotees and Rocky Point Park-goers can pop in to Salumist for a bento box featuring a rotating selection of cheeses, craft sausages, crackers or breadsticks and a tiny jar of preserves, either at the shop or the next brew stop.

“What goes better with beer than salami?” asked Jordan Urbani.

The family behind Salumist, which moved from its Moccia Urbani origins in east Vancouver in 2010, started ask-ing that question when Yellow Dog, the first craft brewery in PoMo, moved in a few doors down a couple of years ago.

At the time, Salumist was a strictly manufacturing and wholesale operation, churning out a range of sausages, salamis and arancini — risotto balls — for shops throughout Metro Vancouver and into the Interior.

But when one brewery grew

to two, then three and now four within a couple of blocks, Jordan and his brother Stefan Urbani and their father, Claudio Urbani, realized it was a perfect time to get back to a part of the business they’d been missing for some time.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” Claudio said.

They re-arranged the factory, moving storage to the back and renovating the front area with a counter made by Claudio from

reclaimed wood, bar-height tables and a long picnic-style table.

In addition to the bento boxes ($10), Salumist is also of-fering Rocky Point picnic boxes ($45) complete with sausage, cheese, Langley’s Vista D’Oro preserves, crackers or Italia Bakery breadsticks, a custom olive wood cutting board and a folding Opinel picnic knife.

Salumist officially opens its doors today (Friday) after

a successful soft opening last weekend.

“I was ready to close at 9:30 but by 10, it was like Granville Street down here,” Jordan said of Saturday evening. “It was amazing, the feedback we got was just great. We had fami-lies come in, people who’ve ‘indulged’ at the breweries… they picked up their salami and could keep on going.”

The Cannoli King food truck was also parked out front for

a sweet treat, and Jordan said they’re hoping to make it a regular partnership.

• Salumist (www.salumist.com) is open for snackers from 5 to 10 p.m. Fridays starting July 1 and Saturdays from 2 to 10 p.m.

To pick up Moccia Urbani sau-sages, risotto balls, quinoa bites and other options, cash-and-carry is available on Thursdays and Fridays.

Metro Vancouver opposes 10-lane Massey Bridge

METRO VAN TRANSPORTATION

Region fears $3.5b project will add costs and deter transitJEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS

Metro Vancouver’s regional board says it can’t support the province’s $3.5-billion plan to replace the Massey Tunnel, at least not the proposed 10-lane bridge.

Regional district politicians have released an assessment critical of the project, arguing the proposed bridge will have a dramatic impact on regional growth, steer more people into cars instead of public transit, and ultimately increase not decrease congestion.

Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto said the regional government estimates it will be forced to spend $20 million to $340 million replac-ing or modifying water and other utility lines under the river because of the project, and the bill for Metro could rise to as much as $1 billion if the port authority seeks to dredge the Fraser River for increased ship-ping and underwater utilities must be dug deeper.

“We definitely disagree with a 10-lane bridge,” said Metro board chair and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, adding something between four and 10 lanes might be more acceptable. “We know from experience around the world you can’t build your way out of congestion.”

Moore said regional plan-ners are concerned such a huge expansion of the bridge and Highway 99 will increase pressure to develop farmland and undermine Metro’s re-gional growth strategy of con-

taining urban development.The region also cites con-

cerns with ecological disrup-tion to the Fraser estuary, air quality impacts if all 10 lanes end up clogged with idling traf-fic and impacts on Deas Island Regional Park.

Mussatto said the new Port Mann Bridge has sped work-ers further along Highway 1 but they slam into major congestion at the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge to the North Shore.

He predicts the Oak Street Bridge will also end up a “very big pinch point” after the Massey bridge is built, and possibly the Knight Street Bridge as well.

The B.C. transportation ministry rejects concerns that unclogging the Massey bottle-neck will merely move the current Highway 99 bottleneck down to the Oak Street Bridge, citing data showing most traffic stops in Richmond rather than continuing to Vancouver.

The province argues the existing tunnel is nearing the end of its life and must be re-placed — a claim some may-ors doubt.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said that although some seismic upgrades were performed on the tunnel in 2008, engineers advised the tunnel could be damaged and made unusable if further seis-

mic upgrades were done.“If British Columbia was hit

with a moderately significant earthquake, the tunnel would be seriously damaged or de-stroyed, cutting off this lifeline during an emergency and for months or years after,” Stone said in an emailed statement.

He said the tunnel has 10 years of life left before major components like lighting, ven-tilation and pumping systems must be replaced.

The B.C. government this month filed its applica-tion to the Agricultural Land Commission as part of the per-mitting process for the bridge.

Stone says it will actually result in an overall net increase in ALR land in Delta and Richmond when the project is finished, because it will result in the return of unused high-way right-of-way for farming.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie disputes that, saying he believes farmland that is added to the ALR is likely to be infe-rior to what is removed.

“They talk about changing the on and off ramps so that there will be some property re-claimed by the adjacent farm-ers,” Brodie said. “We’ll have to wait and see how much of that land is actually usable. We are still very concerned about agricultural impacts.”

Metro will continue to participate in the province’s environmental assessment of the project now underway. The region has previously called for a federal review as well.

Try Lindsay Lake LoopTHE GREAT OUTDOORS

HIKE OF THE WEEKLindsay Lake LoopRating: strenuousTime needed: 6 to 8 hoursLength: 14.5 kmElevation gain: 1,200 m

The Lindsay Lake Loop is a classic outing following a high loop on the upper

reaches of Eagle Mountain, on the east side of Buntzen Lake. The steep climb up the Halvor Lunden Trail will be a stern test of your fitness but the top loop provides ample rewards in the form of lovely sub-alpine lakes and fine viewpoints overlooking Buntzen far below.

Start from the main parking area at Buntzen Lake and make your way to the service road that runs behind the parking lots. The Halvor Lunden Trail starts just past the locked gate, ascending to the east.

Follow the trail for about half a kilometre over a stream, ignor-ing a trail coming in from the right. After emerging on to the Academy Trail under the power line clearing, head north on that trail for about 150 m, looking out for the continuation of the Halvor Lunden Trail. Follow this all the way to the well marked “El Paso” junction. Expect the climb up to El Paso to take at least a couple of sweaty hours.

Take the trail that heads north from the junction. The other trail, which heads down into the gully, will be your return route. You will soon ar-rive at Eagle Mountain’s “Lake District,” a collection of small sub-alpine lakes in a marshy area. On your way north you will pass by Wren, Siskin, Robin and Demelza lakes.

This area is confusing as the path twists and turns with multiple junctions, and the signs are in a state of disrepair. If you follow trail options veering right, you will eventually end up on the trail heading north to Lindsay Lake. There is another stiff climb up to Lindsay Lake, at which point you will loop round the north end before returning south on the west side of the loop. Do not take the path that heads north from the top end of the lake as this continues along

the ridge top towards Swan Falls.Heading down quite steeply,

you will soon come to the first of three spectacular viewpoints (“The Pulpit”) that look down onto Buntzen Lake and beyond. After the last of the viewpoints, the trail continues down for about another kilometre until you reach a trail junction.

Either fork will take you home but the right fork is rec-ommended as it takes you over w Ridge, a rocky outcrop with yet more fine views.

From Spahat, the trail contours south around Eagle Mountain, taking in another couple of viewpoints along the way (Little Valhalla and Barton Point). The last section of this trail drops down into Buntzen Creek before ascending back up to El Paso and completing the loop.

Follow the same route you came up back to the parking lots at Buntzen Lake. At the end of a long day, this descent will seem like a very long way — hiking poles are recommended to save the knees.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA/GLACIER MEDIA FILE PHOTOCoquitlam’s Brittany Rogers, left, seen here launching toward the vault during her freshman season with the University of Georgia, has been selected to join Team Canada at the Rio Olympics this August. She will join Shallon Olsen, right, of the Omega Gymnastics team, who was also selected for the squad this week.

Veteran Rogers readies for Rio 2016 OLYMPICS

Shallon Olsen also chosen for Team Canada GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Brittany Rogers is going back to the Olympic Games.

The Coquitlam gymnastics athlete was chosen for the squad following selection camp this week and based on strong results at the Canadian Championships and Elite Canada events. She was vying for one of eight spots and had an outstanding performance on the uneven bars with a

score of 14.8 to finish first all around and solidify her spot in the top three at the selection event.

“I had so many emotions bottled up and after I finished that bars routine, it just all came out,” she said. “I knew as soon as I landed that bar routine that I had a really good shot at making my second Olympics and that’s a dream come true.”

Now, Rogers will join eight other athletes as they head to Rio for the 2016 Summer Games. She brings experi-ence to the squad, following her fifth place showing in the women’s artistic team event in the London Olympics in 2012.

These days, Rogers has been competing with the University of Georgia Bulldogs in the NCAA, where she won a championship on the bars earlier this year. The experi-ence, she said, will help her as she gears up for Rio this summer.

“I feel like there’s still more in me,” she told the Tri-City News last year. “A lot of gym-nasts kind of use their colle-giate years to kind of retire and kind of mend off of gymnas-tics. I didn’t feel like that was the case for me. I felt like I got stronger.”

When Rogers meets up with the team in Sarnia, Ont., prior to departing for Brazil, she will

be joined by Shallon Olsen, another Tri-City competitor.

The Olympics will be a first for Olsen, who trains with Coquitlam’s Omega Gymnastic, and recently won fourth all around at the se-nior women’s vault nationals before spending the week at Team Canada final selection camp.

In March, Olsen took home gold at the International Gymnix Competition in Montreal, while taking bronze on the floor.

The artistic gymnastics event will take place between Aug. 6 and 16 at the Rio Olympic Arena, starting with a preliminary qualifying round.

Based on those results, team competitions will get under-way.

On Aug. 12, the trampoline events will begin with quali-fiers and finals for both the men’s and women’s event.

“We had some phenomenal results at the London 2012 Olympics Games and with this group of athletes, who have worked so hard with their coaches and support staff to make this team, I’m confident that once again we will see performances that all Canadians can be proud of,” said Peter Nicol, the presi-dent and CEO of Gymnastics Canada.

[email protected]

Glaesser, Nyhaug eye the Olympic podiumGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Jasmin Glaesser may have made the podium during the London Olympics but she said she is looking to improve on her performance when she attends the 2016 Games in Rio next month.

The Coquitlam cyclist and 2012 bronze medalist was nominated Wednesday by the Canadian Olympic Committee and Cycling Canada to rep-resent her country in Brazil. She will join fellow Coquitlam BMXer Tory Nyhaug on the team, along with 17 other ath-letes when the event is held between Aug. 5 and 21.

“We have proven ourselves to be contenders for the top step of the podium at every compe-tition we have attended since London 2012 and I fully expect us to be ready to challenge for the gold in Rio,” she said.

Glaesser was new to the Canadian national team when she took third place in the indoor cycling event in 2012, just edging Australia off the po-dium by a tenth of a second.

Last year, she snagged sev-eral medals at the 2015 Pan Am Games, taking gold in the women’s pursuit, silver in the women’s omnium and silver in the road time trial.

She will now get ready for a handful of various pre-Games preparation camps and competitions in the coming months, includ-ing the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, Track Olympic training and the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.

PoMo Ecological

Society celebrates

with May 7 event

BY DIANESTRANDB

ERG

Tri-CiTy News

Long before the ad-

vent and explosion of

Facebook, Instagram,

Twitter and Netflix, a small

group of passionate people got

together to bring salmon back

to their neighbourhood creek.

It was 1991 and Noons Creek

in Port Moody, once the site of

First Nations fishing grounds,

was empty of salmon. It was so

bad that an area resident col-

lected salmon eggs and built a

mini hatchery.

That spark ignited plans for

the Noons Creek Hatchery.

Today, generations of young

people are learning about

salmon and the importance of

fish to the environment, getting

up close to the creatures, leaving

technology behind, even if just

for a couple of hours, thanks

to the Port Moody Ecological

Society (PMES), which is cel-

ebrating its 25th year.

Executive members Dave

Bennie and Brian Wormald say

people show up at the hatchery,

built by PMES volunteers, while

on a walk around Shoreline

Park. The visitors are always

impressed that salmon are

being raised from eggs to fry at

a hatchery just minutes from

downtown PoMo and a short

stroll from the rec centre.

“It’s amazing,” said Bennie,

whose father, Doug Bennie, was

an original PMES member and

has an interpretive trail named

for him. “I’m seeing children

of the kids who first visited

here when we were just getting

started.”In fact, not a day goes by with-

out some visitors showing up to

throw fish food pellets into the

coho rearing pond and watch

the tiny fish gobble it up in a

frenzy. “We get a lot of local peo-

ple that didn’t know it existed,”

said Brian Wormald, PMES pres-

ident, of the hatchery. “We do a

lot of community outreach.”

In fact, over the years, PMES

has become a voice for envi-

ronmental stewardship in the

region, promoting care for

trees, plant life and creatures.

Elaine Golds, one of the region’s

pre-eminent environmental-

ists, is one of its directors and

members include people who

are also involved with nearby

Mossom Creek Hatchery.

Volunteers have dug ponds

to raise fish, built a shelter to

house tanks and troughs, and

carved out interpretive trails,

complete with boardwalks, to

encourage people to get close

to the creek and marvel at the

salmon life cycle.

There is also a water quality

testing lab on site and bursaries

are given out to qualified stu-

dents to help them with their

post-secondary education.

But what really gets PMES

volunteers in front of the com-

munity is the Fingerling Festival,

held each May when the chum

salmon fry are released into

Noons Creek. This annual event,

which started with 5,000 fish fry

being released 25 years ago (at

the time the fry had to be trucked

to the event because there was

no hatchery), has become a

major attraction in PoMo, with

5,000 people expected to attend.

This year, the free event is

slated for Saturday, May 7, with

as many as 40,000 chum fry to be

released into the creek, mostly

by children, dozens of displays

and activities offered, as well

as entertainment by children’s

performers Bobs and Lolo, and

a by-donation barbecue.

Rain or shine, this is a great

opportunity to see nature at

work and to leave the tech toys

at home, even if just for a little

while.•PortMo

Shedding Light on Local Issues

TRI CITY NEWS EXCLUSIVE


GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

A Tri-City rivalry game turned into a rout for the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs, who downed the Port Coquitlam Saints 21-3 in B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League action Wednesday night.

Coquitlam came out firing in front of fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, putting up three goals — two on the power play — before the Saints were able to get on the board with a marker from Keegan Bell.

That would be all the offence the PoCo club could muster until the third period, while waves of A’s flooded the Saints’ end, piling up goals.

Jean-Luc Chetner had a hat trick and eight assists for the home team, while John Hofseth had four goals and three assists. Both Colin Munro and Tyler Pace managed to score five goals during the out-ing while Danny Spagnuolo had five assists.

Parker Kump was one of the few bright spots for the reeling PoCo squad, when he potted the team’s second goal of the game five minutes into the final frame. He added another four minutes later but by then it was too late for the visitors, who were down 18-3.

Coquitlam went on to score three more before the final buzzer sounded.

The A’s are hanging on to first in the league with an 18-0 record, while the Saints are fourth at 10-9.

PoCo will host the Nanaimo Timbermen at 5 p.m. on Sunday while the A’s are on the road until next week.

Cyclists gear up with several competitions ahead of Rio

“Though most will only see the four riders on the start line, this team and our ultimate performance will be a testament to the relent-less dedication on the part of our staff and partners that have worked tirelessly to provide us with all the tools and resources necessary to pursue our goals,” she said. “I couldn’t be more proud to work with such a phenomenal

team on and off the bike and it’s because of you that we will be able to take to the boards in Rio confident, knowing that our best is yet to come.”

Meanwhile, BMX rider Nyhaug was also nominated for the Canadian cycling team.

Since missing the semi-finals in London four years ago, he has piled up medals, winning gold at the Pan Am Games last year and silver at the world championships in

Rotterdam in 2014. His showing at the Pan

Am Games was particularly impressive after coming off of a serious foot injury in the months leading up to the event.

Jacques Landry, the high performance cycling director and head coach, said a lot of work has gone into ensuring Canada’s cyclists have a good showing in Rio.

“I’m very proud of what our athletes, coaches and staff

have achieved in securing the highest number of Olympic quota spots for cycling in re-cent years,” he said. “Thanks to our more centralized pro-grams, where we’ve been able to optimize our daily training environments, I am confident that we have the systems and processes in place that will put our cyclists in the best pos-sible position to generate top Olympic performances.”
