Conflicting Van. event could hurt Coquitlam gamesGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s plans to host the 2016 BC Seniors Games are in peril after the city of Vancouver won the bid for the Americas Masters Games, an event that takes place at the same time and would attract similar athletes and audiences.

No final decision has been made by Coquitlam to pull out of the BC Seniors Games and council is currently discussing alternatives. But city staff are concerned that sponsors, spectators and vol-unteers may be drawn to the

larger AMG at the expense of the Tri-City event.

“We are still trying to leave no stone unturned,” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart told The Tri-City News yesterday. “We ab-solutely value these games but, at the same time, we are worried that having two com-peting sporting events at the same time will put them both at risk.”

On Monday, The Tri-City News obtained a copy of a let-ter that was circulating among BC Seniors Games Society members asking people to lobby the mayor, council and several MLAs to ensure the event went forward. The let-ter stated that as of June 15, Coquitlam had backed out of hosting the games.

GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Tunnelling for the Evergreen Line, which was halted in early June after a fourth sinkhole developed at Clarke Road and Seaview Drive, is not expected to resume for at least another month.

On Friday, project leader Amanda Farrell told The Tri-City News crews are working on stabilizing the ground so

that they can safely change the tools on the boring ma-chine.

“We are anticipating they will have that work done and be boring again toward the end of July,” she said. “Then, they will resume boring underneath Clark toward Robinson.”

Ground conditions have complicated the tunnelling process, she said.

Three little words and the transformation of KylaDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

How do you say goodbye?Tomorrow, Kyla Wagner

will — figuratively, if not lit-erally — say goodbye to her teachers and fellow students at Lord Baden Powell elementary school in Coquitlam.

Kyla has autism and doesn’t speak. Using an iPad with the TouchChat app to communi-cate through picture symbols, the diminutive dark-haired girl will have to find symbols for “goodbye” and “I’ll miss you” as she says farewell to her teachers and prepares to move on to Montgomery middle school in September.

“She’s come a long way,” says Naomi Shiu, a skill devel-opment teacher and depart-ment head at Baden Powell who has been there for Kyla since the day she arrived kick-ing and screaming — literally, not figuratively — because she didn’t want to leave home and her mom.

“I could have let her do whatever she wanted but, then, there would be no learning, no growth, no nothing,” says Shiu, remembering how the girl expressed her frustration by biting, jumping off furniture, or running away because, other than pointing and some sign language, she had no other way to speak for herself.

“Compliance, compliance, compliance,” is how principal Marco Jankowiak describes those first months — years, really — getting Kyla to cooper-ate.

With the help and support of Anna Lenarczyk of School District 43’s Coquitlam Autism Spectrum Team (CAST) and learning services co-ordinator Christy Areshenko, Shiu devel-oped a plan for working with Kyla using a system of commu-nication called PECS (for pic-ture exchange communication system) and a schedule of work and breaks.

With PECS, Kyla learned

how to express herself using symbols. Her first three words were “more,” “help” and “fin-ished.”

Shiu would hand an object, such as a pen, to Kyla every

time the girl gave her the word picture. “That builds trust be-cause [Kyla thinks] when I give her the picture, she gives me the pen, every time — guar-anteed,” Shiu said. Eventually,

Kyla learned what the words meant and in what context they should be used.

When she was able to communicate her wants and needs, Kyla could stay in the

regular classroom longer and be with her peers, even going on stage during a Christmas concert, visiting Playland and going ice skating, carrying her laminated word pictures and a word ordering card with Velcro stickers in a fanny pack around her waist

Later, she graduated to using TouchChat on the iPad, which required her to be able to categorize words and use them independently, and in order, without being prompted.

In Grade 3, she achieved a milestone when she learned to use the toilet independently, a life skill Shiu taught her using a

picture system and a high de-gree of patience. “That was our entire focus for the year.”

This year, she learned about numbers, the sounds and names for letters, how to iden-tify money and how to read a calendar. Shiu has also taught her about menstruation and how to change a pad.

Kyla’s mom, Priscilla Webber, noticed the changes in her daughter and is grateful for all the support. “They helped my daughter so much,” she says. “You can see that at home — she’s more calm.”

At school, too.

THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDSThe end of the school year is a time of transition for all students as new classes, new teachers, new grades, even new schools await come september. For some students, the next step is even bigger.

‘But I have to let her go’THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDS

At first, other students were afraid of Kyla, not understand-ing that autism is a neurologi-cal disorder, affecting one in 80 children, and characterized by difficulties in communica-tion, social interaction and understanding abstract con-cepts. Over time, and with Shiu talking to them about autism, they learned to accept her, said principal Jankowiak.

The experience taught the students to be more empa-thetic, he said. “It’s so normal, [seeing kids with differences in their midst], the kids don’t even blink an eye.”

While things aren’t perfect, they’re much better.

Kyla will still sometimes try to run out of the school and is occasionally disruptive at assemblies. You can see her get agitated, her teacher says; she’ll cock her head, covering one ear, and her sensitivity to noise requires her to wear noise-cancelling headphones for some activities. To settle herself, she heads to the calm room, a pink-walled room with no furniture and a single win-dow that lets in the light.

One day, Kyla will finish school and her ability to ex-press herself will be key to her survival. That’s why the day she was able to put two sen-tences together on her iPad, “I hurt chin, I need icepack,” after a pimple erupted on her chin,

the team at Baden Powell was ecstatic.

Now, Shiu and the others hope Kyla’s intelligence and ability to learn will carry her through to middle school — and the rest of her life.

“It’s going to help her stay safe, have friends, open doors, all kinds of things,” Areshenko predicts.

Still, for all the satisfaction

and high hopes, for Shiu, say-ing goodbye and sending Kyla off to the next stage of life is difficult and she’s not yet ready for it.

How do you say goodbye to someone you’ve grown to love?

“She’s not going to be my kid any more,” acknowledges Shiu. “But I have to let her go.”

PoCo staffing costs are down

$1M more in salaries for Port Moody

PORT COQUITLAMPORT MOODY COQUITLAM

SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

The number of employees at Port Coquitlam city hall making more than $75,000 crept up in 2014, with six new staffers join-ing the club, but overall, the city spent slightly less on salaries last year than it did in 2013.

The city’s annual statement of financial information report released Monday showed 135 PoCo employees earned more than $75,000 in salaries and benefits — up from 129 recorded in 2013 — costing tax-payers a total of $13.5 million.

The city’s chief administra-tive officer, John Leeburn, was the top-paid official, earning $197,706; adding benefits and expenses puts Leeburn’s 2014 pay package close to $211,000.

Barry Becker, director of parks and recreation, followed with remuneration totalling $182,601 while director of de-velopment services Laura Lee Richard took home $175,743. Port Coquitlam Fire Rescue Chief Nick Delmonico received $174,119.

The city also paid just over $13.1 million to employees earning less than $75,000, mak-ing the total for staff salaries and benefits nearly $26.7 million

for 2014, down slightly from the $27.1 million paid in 2013. In 2012, $25 million was spent on salaries; $23.8 million in 2011.

Taxpayers also shelled out almost $346,000 for council members’ salary and expenses, up slightly from $338,000 spent in 2013.

Mayor Greg Moore was paid a base salary of $88,651 and $7,083 in benefits for a total of $99,918 (he also earned $70,932 as chair of the Metro Vancouver board of directors). Council members were paid a base sal-ary of $34,160 and benefits of approximately $3,300. Coun. Laura Dupont, who was the only new person to join council in the November election, was paid about $2,900.

Expenses ranged from Moore’s $3,302 to Coun. Dean Washington’s $2,175, the lowest among the council members. Coun. Darrell Penner posted the highest expenses at $5,927; Penner attended both the Union of BC Municipalities and Federation of Canadian Municipalities conventions.

In April PoCo council voted itself a salary increase of about $2,500 for the mayor and $1,450 for councillors.

SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody spent about $1 million more on salaries in 2014 for those in the top earning echelons than it did the previous year.

According to the 2014 Statement of Financial Information (SOFI) released with Tuesday’s council agenda, employees earning more than $75,000 cost PoMo $9.35 million. Those earning less than $75,000 cost just over $10 million, similar to the previous year.

In 2012, Port Moody em-ployees cost taxpayers about $17.3 million.

City manager Kevin Ramsay leads the pack with a base salary of $198,778 for 2014, followed by a handful of top officials — Fire Chief Remo Faedo, general man-ager of corporate services Angie Parnell, GM of com-munity services Ron Higo, GM of engineering and parks Neal Carley and GM of finan-cial services Paul Rockwood,

all of whom earned close to $150,000 last year.

A reorganization in 2013 meant there were fewer up-per-level managers making more than $100,000 but they took home larger salaries.

Salaries for council mem-bers were $84,380 for Mayor Mike Clay and $33,233 for councillors who were re-elected in the November 2014 election (the three in-cumbents who did not return earned slightly less), a third of which is tax-free.

Expenses for the council members totalled $34,151 and ranged from a low of $3,759 for Coun. Diana Dilworth to $6,188 recorded by Coun. Rick Glumac. Clay’s expenses for 2014 were $5,595.

Those elected to council last November — Barbara Junker, Meghan Lahti and Robert Vagramov — posted expenses of less than $300 each for the reporting pe-riod.

Coquitlam will be celebrating the nation’s 148th birthday at its annual Canada Day celebrations in Town Centre Park. And the city hopes to go big in marking the 50th birthday of Canada’s flag.

But it needs some help.The city is aiming to create a living flag. Residents

are being encouraged to wear either a red or white shirt and meet at the north end of Lafarge Lake at 1:45 p.m. on July 1. Those who participate will be organized into different zones that will make a living flag, viewable from the stage. Time-lapse photography will capture the event.

This is the seventh annual Canada Day festival at Town Centre Park and it will also offer music, entertain-ment, food and kids’ activities. A fireworks display will take place 10 p.m. and most of the events are free of charge.

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

James Moore, the Conserva-tive MP for Port Moody-West-wood-Port Coquitlam, will not run for re-election this fall.

Last Friday, Moore told The Tri-City News he would not be seeking a sixth term of office and will be returning home to Port Moody to spend time with his family because of medical issues involving his young son, Spencer.

Moore said he’s been strug-gling with his decision for a while.

“It becomes more and more clear over time that I need to be home,” he said. “When you have little kids and they become older and they start to realize you’re not there — Spencer has health challenges and you get some good news and you get some bad news — it’s not fair for [my wife] Courtney to be going through that all alone while I’m travelling the world.”

Elected in 2001 under the Canadian Alliance banner after defeating Liberal incumbent Lou Sekora, who had served a partial term after a byelection, Moore rose quickly in the ranks as the youngest MP ever elected in B.C.

In opposition, he served a number of critics roles. After the 2006 federal election, after which the Tories formed a minority government, he was appointed as a parliamentary secretary to two ministers and, two years later, Prime Minister Stephen Harper named him secretary of state for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Official Languages. That made him the youngest cabinet minis-ter ever from B.C. and the fourth youngest in Canadian history.

Moore was also the Canadian heritage minister from 2008 to 2013 and is currently the minis-ter of industry.

In each election, he easily de-feated his opponents: In 2011, he took 56% of the vote.

Moore told The Tri-City News he’ll continue to be the local MP and industry minister until the Oct. 19 federal election but “after that, we’ll see.”

“It’s been five terms and 15 years. It doesn’t mean I may or may not run in the future but Spencer is two and a half and I need to be home and I really

want to be home,” he said. “It’s hard to be away from family this long.”

Moore said he informed Prime Minister Stephen Harper of his decision three or four weeks ago. “He was entirely supportive and understands the need,” he said, noting Harper quit politics in 1996 after his first term to help raise his young family.

Harper also understands the amount of travel B.C. MPs face every week, Moore said.

Asked about the other high-profile cabinet minister exits this year — namely, John Baird and Peter MacKay — Moore stressed they are all leaving for personal reasons.

“Each has their own story. Peter MacKay has six terms and a second child on the way. I travel really far. Of the 36 B.C. MPs, I’m one of the longest serving, I’m the regional min-ister for B.C. and the industry ministry requires me to travel more. Something’s got to give and it’s not going to be my fam-ily.”

Asked about his pension, the 39-year-old said the retirement age change wasn’t a factor. Under the rules passed in 2013 for MPs, all politicians elected for the first time this October must wait until 65 before they can draw a pension. Moore, however, will be eligible for his full yearly pension of $128,832

at the age of 55.“I’m leaving politics, I’m

not retiring,” he said, laughing. “That’s 16 or 17 years from now. I’m not even 40 yet.”

Moore said his departure allows enough time for the local riding association to pick its next candidate. He believes some contenders who ran for nomination against Tim Laidler — in NDP MP Fin Donnelly’s riding of New Westminster-Coquitlam, which will be changed to Port Moody-Coquitlam — may be interested in replacing him.

“Our riding is a strong rid-ing. There are lots of members,” Moore said, adding, “I’m going to be campaigning because I want Stephen Harper to stay on as Canada’s prime minister and I want a Conservative member of Parliament to succeed me.”

Moore was due to face NDP candidate Sara Norman, the Liberals’ Ron McKinnon and Brad Nickason of the Green Party of Canada in the new riding of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam.

Upon receiving news of his withdrawal from the race, Norman expressed her thanks to Moore for his years of service to the community. Still, she said Moore’s absence doesn’t change the contest as she’s running against the Harper Conservatives’ record.

McKinnon added he was

surprised to hear of Moore’s announcement but understood the difficulty to split time be-tween public service and fam-ily. He also recognized Moore’s “significant contribution” to the Tri-Cities, and offered his thanks and best wishes.

No decision on seniors gamesBC SENIORS GAMES

But on Tuesday, staff clari-fied the city’s position in a press release, noting that no decision has been made and council is still considering its options.

Richard Hopkins, the Fraser Valley zone director with the BC Seniors Games, forwarded the letter to several members, but would not comment on the issue when contacted by The Tri-City News.

Gordon Oates, the secretary treasurer of the society, also said he would not comment while discussions were still tak-ing place with the city.

“We are still waiting our-selves on the final decision,” he said Tuesday morning. “We are still meeting with them today.”

Coquitlam won the bid for the 2016 BC Seniors Games in 2013 and planned on making the event one of the corner-stones of its 125th anniversary celebrations.

More than 3,500 athletes from across the province were expected to compete in 26 sports over the four-day compe-tition, which the city estimated would generate $2 million in economic offshoots.

Vancouver won the bid to

host the inaugural Americas Masters Games back in 2014. The event is recognized by the International Olympic Committee and is expected to attract 7,500 athletes, 1,000 coaches and 2,000 volunteers.

While the final numbers have not been firmed up, the Masters Games is budgeting to spend $6 million, the bulk of which would come from corporate sponsors.


JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWSVendors were busy last Thursday for the third Port Coquitlam Farmers Market of the season, in-cluding Ramneek Kingra of Mandair Farms (above). Tomorrow, the theme is all about strawberries, a fruit that came early this year because of the warm, dry spring weather in southern B.C. The PoCo market runs 3 to 7 p.m. in the Leigh Square Community Arts Village, beside PoCo city hall.

SPIRIT OF COQUITLAM GRANTS: $170KMore than $170,000 in Spirit of Coquitlam grants have

been awarded in support of non-profit and community-based organizations in the municipality.

This year, 18 organizations and 19 community initiatives were chosen, with grants ranging in size from $1,400 to $50,000. Some examples include money for festivals such as the BC Highland Games and the All Nations Festival, while some capital project were also funded.

The Spirit of Coquitlam grant program was launched in 2002 and has since awarded more than $7 million to 180 different organizations. The money comes from the casino host agreement between the city and the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver on United Boulevard. The next grant intake pe-riod will begin in September. For more information, go to www.coquitlam.ca/spiritgrant.

Other city news:A proposal to build a 28-storey highrise at Austin Avenue

close to North Road passed another hurdle Monday at Coquitlam council. Councillors voted unanimously in fa-vour of granting third reading to the project, which would be 400 m from the Lougheed SkyTrain station and would add 218 units to the neighbourhood’s housing stock. The project will also include commercial units and several townhouses at the base of the tower.

COQUITLAM

GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam council voted Monday to spend $175,000 to build a segregated trail loop in Mundy Park that would permit off-leash dog walking at all times of day.

The trail will be located in the southeast section of the park, close to the current fenced in off-leash area.

The city is also launching its Train Your Human campaign, which is aimed at dog own-ers and includes stepped-up bylaw enforcement focusing on education, according to parks, recreation and culture services general manager Raul Allueva. Still, fines could be issued to owners who do not pick up their dogs waste or ignore leash rules. Bylaw of-ficers will also be using bikes to make their way through the trail system, allowing them to get further into the park.

Allueva said data collected during the bylaw blitz will be used to determine future en-forcement needs.

Train Your Human cam-paign is an effort to get residents to pick up after their animals and be responsible pet owners.

The initiative is part of an enforcement blitz that is expected at parks across the municipality this summer, with particular attention being paid to Mundy, where the city has received many complaints about dog conflicts.

Posters going up for the campaign ask dogs to ensure their humans have picked up their waste, purchased their licences and kept them on leashes unless during desig-nated times.

The enforcement effort comes after staff discovered during a public consultation period for Mundy’s forest management plan that most residents wanted to talk about pets and pet owners. Many cited a lack of owner etiquette, noting people often ignored the on-leash rules and allowed their animals to jump on other people and venture off the trails.

Currently, pet owners are permitted to walk their dogs at Mundy Park on leash at all times and off leash from dawn until 10 a.m. every day, except for the Mundy Lake Trail.

Some residents expressed concern that the city may end the off-leash times, a proposal Mayor Richard Stewart assured them during Monday night’s council meeting was not under consideration.

“There has been some con-fusion,” he said. “Council has never contemplated reduc-ing dog off-leash hours in the park.”

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

Neighbourhood schools?We’re told that

new schools planned in

School District 43 are now being built with a capac-ity of 400 to 450 students, much larger than typical schools of prior decades, because they can provide more specialized programs and choices for kids.

That news must be a head-shaker to parents who were educated in schools of between 200 and 250 students. They must wonder why it’s now better to be educated in a larger building with more kids.

They want to know: Who killed the neigh-bourhood school?

The provincial govern-ment is mostly to blame for the trend to larger ele-mentary schools because it isn’t providing adequate funding to build and staff more, smaller schools.

But in fairness, taxpay-ers don’t want to pay more to the government, and with health care tak-ing an ever larger chunk

of the budget, less money for schools is an obvious outcome. Are taxpayers to blame for this trend?

Perhaps the increasing competitiveness of the education system, aided by the Fraser Institute re-port that ranks schools, is to blame because parents feel obligated to seek out

special programs that are further away.

But not all parents want that for their kids. Can’t there be some compro-mise? Why not have a few magnet schools with multiple special programs and continue to build and maintain neighbourhood schools for those who

want a community feeling — and less driving.

It’s not that larger schools are a bad thing if administrators and teach-ers can create a small-school feeling and they can provide more choice while being attentive to individual needs. But for some parents, walking their child to a school close to home is prefer-able.

Of 46 elementary schools in SD43, only seven have populations of between 400 to 450, with one school — Walton elementary, with its Mandarin Immersion program — having more, and all the others hav-ing fewer students. And on Burke Mountain, if a 250-student school was the target enrolment, there would already be enough students in the area to open a school there in September.

With the new standard, though, Smiling Creek would only be half full. No wonder parents are upset.

SETTING ITSTRAIGHT

Re. “Better late than never? A school for Burke Mt.” (The Tri-City News, June 19).

The referenced article incorrectly stated that School District 43 secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari said the land deals are good for taxpayers because 35 acres were acquired for 90% of the market value. In fact, the district acquired the land at approximately 10% of market value, a 90% savings.

Restroom progress isunderway for Mundy

COQUITLAM PARKS

The Editor,Re. “Spend some money on

park restrooms, please” (The Tri-City News, June 18).

In his letter to the editor, Brian Robinson suggests the city of Coquitlam should consider updating the wash-rooms at Mundy Park. It is worth noting that this need has been both anticipated and recognized by city council and work is already underway.

The city identified the replacement of the Mundy Park field house as a priority for its 2015 business plan and, on Dec. 8, 2014, council en-dorsed conceptual plans for a replacement building, which will include expanded and ac-cessible washrooms for both genders.

The Coquitlam Field Sports Association was consulted during the conceptual design process and city staff also un-dertook further community

consultation with both resi-dents and parks users in the park earlier this year.

Next steps will involve completion of a staff report to council this summer seek-ing its endorsement of the final design of the expanded facility, which will then allow the city to move forward with construction in the fall.

The city will be providing temporary washrooms during the construction phase for park users. Completion of the new Mundy Park field house — including brand new washrooms — is projected for spring 2016.

Ongoing project updates for the Mundy Park field house replacement can be found at www.coquitlam.ca/parkprojects.Raul Allueva, General Manager, Parks, Recreation and Culture Services, City of Coquitlam

Trees, branches, twigs and transitPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

The Editor,“Seamless transit” is still not

understood by some people liv-ing in Metro Vancouver who ei-ther have never lived in or visited towns with a much bigger transit system, or never use transit.

Seamless means transport integration, where all sorts of transportation modes — pub-lic, private and hybrid — work as one, including the mode of payment (a smart card).

Seamless transit has never meant that one will never have to transfer from one type of transit to another, or from one train to another.

This is not possible in Metro Vancouver, even with its small system, and definitely not pos-

sible in towns with the same population as Metro Vancouver but with, depending on the city, multiple subway lines, LRT lines, hundreds of bus lines, suburban train lines, etc.

Here is one definition I found on the internet: Transport in-tegration means that whatever modes or types of transport are involved they all operate as one seamless entity for the benefit of the fare-paying customer (and uses a single card for payment). This is achieved by planning services so that where a change of vehicle is required, passengers can enjoy easy-to-use, pleasant and sheltered interchange facilities with short waits for the next service.

Public transport can often be thought of rather like a tree, with a large trunk that feeds into smaller branches. Inter-city railways represent the trunks; high-capacity urban, suburban and underground rail systems

represent the major branches; monorails, rural railways and urban tramways represent the smaller branches, etc., down to low-capacity mini-buses for the twigs.J-L Brussac, Coquitlam

FIX POCO’S BURNS ROAD ASAP, PLEASEThe Editor,

Re. “More work on PoCo’s Burns Road” (The Tri-City News, June 19).

Why not start working ASAP on fixing Burns Road? It’s in horrible condition and embarrassing. Why have all that development before all services are in? About Devon Road: This new road will benefit Coquitlam and Burke Mountain development, so why not have them pay for part of it? Why should Port Coquitlam taxpayers should foot the bill?Tony Paone, Port Coquitlam

Opening still set at fall 2016EVERGREEN LINE

Last month’s sinkhole was the fourth time depressions in the pavement have occurred since last October, when a sinkhole developed in the Chateau Place parking lot. In January, a second sinkhole formed at Cecile Drive, be-fore a third one appeared at Seaview and Clarke in April.

The delays have pushed the opening of the Evergreen

Line from the summer to the fall of 2016, a deadline Farrell said will not have to be moved given the recent boring issues.

“We put some flexibility on that so we are still on the fall 2016 schedule,” she said. “It has taken longer than an-ticipated, there is no question about that.”

While the tunnelling is be-hind schedule, progress that has been made on other parts of the line, Farrell said.

She noted the overall project is 60% complete and the sta-tions are between 65% and 95% finished. All of the guide-ways outside of the tunnel are built and the rails are currently being put into place.

Farrell said residents can expect to see trains rolling next month as crews work to test the tracks and iron out any issues in the line.

“Overall, everything is going extremely well,” she said. “We

just have this challenge with the tunnel we have to work through.”


EVERGREEN ARTISTS ANNOUNCEDA handful of British Columbian artists have been selected

to complete 11 public art pieces that will adorn the new Evergreen Line stations in Coquitlam.

Max Weinberg and Brent Bukowski have been tasked with coming up with a piece for Burquitlam while Paul Reimer will lead the effort at Coquitlam Central. Paul Slipper, May Ann Liu, Bruce Walther and YarOn Stern will work on en-tries for Lincoln, with Trent Hutton, Jarami Reid and Dean Cloutier doing work at Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station — the end of the line.

The artists were chosen following a lengthy request for information and qualification process that began in 2014. Close to 60 entries were received from artists from around the world and they were shortlisted through a jury process.

The final group was announced on Monday.

“The service we render to oth-ers is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the purpose of the world is not ‘to have and to hold’ but ‘to give and to serve.’” - Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell, Medical Missionary to New-foundland & Labrador.

Service is most often the most thankless task. But serving in public life is probably the most critiqued.

Recently, one of BC’s most prominent voices at the cabinet table in Ottawa, James Moore, MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam, announced his resignation to spend more time with his family after receiving dif� cult news relating to his sons health.

James was a rising star in Cana-dian politics having � rst been elected at the age of 24 and serving � ve consecutive terms before the age of 40. Slowly but surely, he assumed more re-sponsibility in Ottawa as the op-position critic for foreign policy, national revenue, transporta-tion and amateur sport. When his party formed government, he served as minister of heri-tage and minister of industry.

Regardless of political af� lia-tion, James was seen as a leader in Ottawa. He was repeatedly

recognized as best up-and-coming MP by fellow members and staff, awarded a national leadership award by Ontario teachers, named one of Doug-las College’s top 40 for 40 and recognized by the World Eco-nomic Forum as a Young Global Leader.

James has worked hard for his community, securing federal funding for the construction of the Evergreen Line (prob-ably the most recognizable win for the Tri-Cities at the federal level). He has worked hard for the province of BC, taking a leading role and laying the ground work for removing internal trade barriers between provinces. He has worked hard for his country, playing a key role in expanding Canada’s free trade regime and introducing legislation that would protect Canadian businesses from coun-terfeiting.

Most recently, James acted as the keynote speaker at the Chamber’s Economic Summit 2015 and took part in the politi-cal panel also featuring Eliza-beth May, Joyce Murray, and Kennedy Stewart. This Centen-nial grad has provided inspira-tion to all by showing that one can make an impact regardless of age, how to lead when times are tough, and the importance of serving your community.

Taking James’ example, it is important for all of us to ask ourselves how we can serve our community. You don’t have to run for of� ce or be involved politically. Volunteering at one of the many charitable organi-zations in our community like ACCESS Youth or SHARE or the Crossroads Hospice makes an impact to better our commu-nity.

Businesses can make just as much impact as an individual. Serving our members is in our mandate. The Chamber has many sponsors and volunteers

that work with us to ensure that we can properly serve our community. At the Chamber, through service, we can build strong businesses and strong communities.

Thank you, James, for your ser-vice to this community and this

country. The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce wishes you all the best as you transition toward the next chapter of your profes-sional career.

BUSY-NESS ISN’T RESPECTABLE ANYMORESo, you got more stuff to do, than time to do it. You are driving yourself crazy with all these “important” things and often feel like every-thing is important and everything needs to be done now. How much longer are you going to allow yourself to play this little game? Busy-ness just isn’t respectable anymore.

Of course, I’ve spent most of my adult life struggling with busy-ness. Looking back I was very busy doing the things I didn’t need to do to avoid doing anything I was actually sup-posed to be doing. Sound familiar?

Many of you know me as the ‘Ugly Sweater Guy’ - the co-founder of the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party and 5k run. In the beginning I used this feel good charity project to mask what was really going on inside… the rotten feeling having not fully recovered from drug and alcohol addiction, reconstructive surgery on my face, brain injuries and compromised relationships.

For multiple years now I’ve been clean and sober with the support of my own mentors I was able to pull down my façade.

I started studying and helping people relieve the tension from busy-ness burnout.

I interact with so many in our Tri-Cities com-

munity, I can’t help but observe too many among us are still breeding the same fa-çade that doing more is better.

You know how too many business leaders and professionals are overworked, over-committed in an endless stream of tasks, browsers, social media, emails, meetings, events, and activities, rushing from one thing to another, never pausing and never ending? Then the day is over, and we are exhausted, and we often have very little to show for it. And we start the next day, ready for a mind-less stream of tasks and distractions.

If this is you, the problem is you have a clas-sic condition I call ‘Everythingitis™’ (ev-ree-thing-ayt-is) where you are doing everything except what’s really important. You’re overcompensating for your inner turmoil with a ‘more is better mentality’ and an uncontrol-lable addiction to abundance. Although you appear successful on the outside you feel tense, irritable, and discontent inside.

When we mask our pain or try to hide from it by avoidance, it always seems to show up consequently somewhere else, doesn’t it?

We all know that living, working, and play-ing like this in the long run is progressive,

chronic, and fatal!

Imagine if all of us talented cool business leaders and professionals could experience the truth that less IS more.

I am a fan of going against the stream of what most people do, and taking a step back. Is it really worth it? Is this the best way? Are we losing our lives to busy-ness and distrac-tion?

What if we did less instead?

Now that I’ve faced my fears head on, sur-rendered to receive support from my advisory team, and simpli� ed my business struc-ture, imagine the impact I have with my ugly christmas sweater charitable events.

My dream for you is to give more by doing less and have more unstructured free time with your friends and family.

You CAN get more by doing less. It sounds pretty good doesn’t it? There is no better time to start than now.

TC CALENDARCheck out buzz-worthy booksTRI-CITY LIBRARIES

One of the best things about working in a library is the constant

arrival of hundreds of amazing new titles — even if they tend to fly immediately out the doors while held tightly in our cus-tomers’ excited hands.

There are so many fantastic books coming in that it can be hard to keep track, so I’ve com-piled a selection of some of the most talked-about titles that are tearing up the bestseller lists.

Looking for a mind-bending and exciting read? The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins is a suspenseful psychological thriller and one of the most talked-about books of the year. Rachel rides the train to work every day and, every day, she sees the same couple sitting on their roof having breakfast in what she perceives as perfect marital bliss. One day, Rachel sees something shocking as her train rolls away from the house, later discovering that the woman on the roof has gone missing. Rachel tells the police

what she saw and becomes en-twined in the case in a way that she never imagined possible.

Dark comedy mixed with a strong southern atmosphere make Welcome to Braggsville by T. Geronimo Johnson a distinctive chart topper. D’aron Davenport hails from a small southern town and is confused and overwhelmed in his fresh-men year at the University of California, Berkeley. Thankfully, D’aron meets three new friends with whom he forms a close bond. But everything changes when he tells his friends about a strange and politically incorrect

civil war reenactment that takes place in his hometown. They decide to stage a protest at the event, taking them on an ad-venture through the south with horrendous consequences. This contemporary novel is timely, with thoughtful and rel-evant social commentary and humour that will stay with you.

Ruby by Cynthia Bond is part of Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 and has skyrocketed to fame through the endorsement. Like Welcome to Braggsville, this novel is also set in the south in a small town, Liberty, where Ruby, a beautiful young girl, suffers at the hands of her neighbours. As soon as she can, she flees to New York City, hop-ing never to return. But when bad news reaches her in N.Y.C., Ruby, now 30, must return home to the place she hated. Vivid imagery and deft descrip-tion of the racism in Texas in the 1960s makes this stirring, romantic, and lyrical novel a hit.

For those of you who love non-fiction, Irritable Hearts: A PTSD Love Story by jour-nalist Mac McClelland is a fascinating look into her life after she is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder

upon return from reporting on the 2010 Earthquake in Haiti. McClelland delves into her difficulties with the disorder, in-terviews doctors and other suf-ferers, and tries to heal herself. Although she is suffering much heartache, she has fallen in love with Nico, a French soldier she met while in Haiti. Desperate to let this newfound love blossom, McClelland tries harder than ever to unravel the mystery of her illness and to find peace. This novel is engaging, thought-ful and sad while also managing to be heartfelt and hopeful.

Other titles worth mention-ing include: The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro; H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald; and All the Light we Cannot See by Anthony Doer. This list is just the tip of the iceberg, so come to your local library for more new and noteworthy books.

And now that summer is in full swing, visit the library and join a summer reading club. There’s lots going on for people of all ages.

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

on Wednesdays. Sarah Dearman works at Terry Fox Library in Port

Sisters to light up SpikeGOLDEN SPIKE DAYS

Langley country duo kick off busy summer at SpikeJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Robyn and Ryleigh Gillespie are in Kamloops, driving home after a two-week radio and concert blast through the Okanagan and Alberta. The Langley sisters are peppy and looking forward to coming home to get ready for a string of summer gigs, their first of the season happening in Port Moody during the annual Golden Spike Days festival.

And although they’re more than a little bit country, they promise to “rock out.”

“We always put on a really great show,” Robyn, 23, said

with a giggle. “I think we’re al-lowed to say that. We like that every audience member leaves with a smile and we try to make it so everybody will enjoy it.”

R&R, as they are known, also promise to play their new sin-gle that was released May 19. “I Found You” is the first track the duo has penned together and they did it during a songwriting trip in the best place for coun-try artists to find inspiration: Nashville.

“Everybody seems to be liking it,” Ryleigh, 20, said, not-ing the tune is mix of her pop background, Robyn’s country roots and the refined styles of producer-songwriter Chris Reardon, who has worked with David Cook of American Idol fame.

The single, their first since signing with the Canadian label Royalty Records, was

one of five tunes they wrote in Music City and it has been getting plenty of play on radio stations in Alberta (and, of all places, Korea). They’re hoping to keep up the momentum in B.C. with JR-FM.

On Canada Day, the 2012 B.C. Country Music Award nominees play two gigs: Canada Place in Vancouver at 11:30 a.m. and in Langley at 5 p.m. for a bash hosted by the local country radio station. In total, they have a dozen sum-mer stops, including Aug. 1 at Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square Community Arts Village.

Each concert will be differ-ent, they vow.

“It’s not a job for us,” Ryleigh said. “It’s what we’re so pas-sionate about… We like to try new things.”

In between performances, they’ll be putting the finishing

touches on their new EP, which they have already begun to re-cord at OCL Studios in Alberta; the as-yet untitled album is due out this fall.

Robyn describes the songs as “fun, country, uplifting, danceable and just totally Robyn and Ryleigh. Once you get to know us and our music,

you’ll be like, ‘That’s a Robyn and Ryleigh song.’”

She also believes the new tunes will hit a wider market as they’re more “mature” than the songs on their first album, released two years ago.

Ryleigh, also an actor who recently wrapped a movie with John Travolta that is sched-uled to hit theatres next year, said she doesn’t like it when people refer to R&R as “that sister group… We have original sounds. We like to do our own thing. We don’t like to follow. We like to pave our own path.”

After their summer tour, R&R will be preparing for the Canadian Country Music Awards in September and re-leasing more singles.

Said Robyn: “You’ll be hear-ing a lot more of us.”

Michelle Khoo of PoCo

KHOO OFF TO KOREA

A Port Coquitlam ballet student who played Clara for the Goh Ballet’s Nutcracker last December will fly to Asia next month to perform a prestigious contest.

Michelle Khoo, 16, a Grade 10 student at Magee secondary, is one of four Goh students the company is sending to South Korea for the 2015 South International Ballet Competition.

There, she’ll have five solos: Talisman and Medora from Le Corsaire, Pulse, Harlequinade and Flower Festival.

Khoo said she hopes the competition will be “a good chance to meet more danc-ers my age and get more performance experience because Vancouver has a lot of great artists but when you encounter different cul-tures you learn more about the broad range of ballet in the whole world,” Khoo told The Tri-City News last week.

She will be at the compe-tition with fellow teen Goh dancers Chihiro Abe, Sara Carver and Letizia Dotto.

Last summer, Khoo clinched gold at the Wien Welt Wettbewerb in Vienna — the first time a Canadian has won the highest honour at the International Ballet and Contemporary Dance Competition.

With so much travelling and commuting, Khoo said she loves coming home to Port Coquitlam because of its nature trails.

“I love going for bike rides in the summer with my family and I feel like the air there is really nice. It’s really nice to get away from the city sometimes and just enjoy the suburbs and nature.”

They don’t make things like they used to: Motokado

VISUAL ART


It started with her stove.It was 15 years old and still

in pretty good shape but it needed a $15 piece to be re-stored.

The company no longer made that gadget, however, so the stove was deemed as junk.

Too bad, Lori Motokado thought. It just requires a sim-ple fix to bring it back to life.

That infuriated the Coquitlam resident but it also sparked her imagination.

She started to craft a paint-ing collection in her head that focused on the theme: Nothing is made to last; everything ends up in the dump.

And so, over the course of a year, she snapped pictures of items — rusted and dented — that were old but could still work just fine.

Motokado found a Ford Model T car in good condition while on a trip to Maui. “It had all the parts running,” she said. There was also a lantern, tin toys, a shaving kit, dial tele-phone and, at a museum in

Midway, B.C., a bicycle leaning against a building.

“Everybody wants some-thing shiny and new these days,” she lamented, during an interview with The Tri-City News, “but a lot of the new stuff just goes into the landfill so quickly.

“We don’t value anything

anymore.”On Saturday night,

Motokado will open her biggest display to date with a series called Natural Obsolescence, at the Kimoto Gallery in Vancouver.

The nine watercolour pieces were painted this and last year, in her home studio as well as in the downtown eastside space she used to rent but closed last December because of the long commute.

Each work took about 80 hours each to complete, she said.

Though she is represented by Kimoto and Gallery 8 on Saltspring Island, Motokado is no stranger to the arts scene in the Tri-Cities. A member of the Canadian Federation of Artists, the self-taught painter has exhibited at the Blackberry Gallery in the Port Moody Arts Centre, with ArtWalk and Art in the Garden.

• Natural Obsolescence runs at the Kimoto Gallery (1525 West 6th Ave., Vancouver) until July 18.


Torrence takes over as new director of PMAC

ARTS BRIEFS

An award-winning theatre director and production de-signer will take over the reins of the Port Moody Arts Centre.

Starting July 2, Stephen Torrence will become the new executive director of the Moody Centre hub.

In a press release, PMAC stated Torrence is a “lifelong supporter of the arts in all its forms and believes strongly in the power of artistic expression to transform lives and build communities.”

Torrence has also worked at a senior level for a non-profit, specifically in strategic plan-ning, financial management, community collaboration and program design, delivery and evaluation. He is a founding partner of JTJ Consulting, a management consulting firm.

Torrence takes over from Bruce Campbell, who over-saw the expansion of PMAC into the historic Appleyard/Centennial House.

Meanwhile, tickets to PMAC’s hot summer event are now on sale.

The 11th Annual Girls Night Out fundraiser — a Bollywood-style gala — takes place at Port Moody city hall on Aug. 7.

Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, the function

will include comedic routines, beauty demos and other arts elements. Proceeds will support the Making It Work campaign for the arts hub’s programs.

Tickets for PMAC members and non-members are $45 and are available at Scotiabank (2501 St. John’s St.), which is matching sales bought in per-son at the branch up to $5,000.

PAPER TOLESA Port Moody native has a

new visual arts show at The Cultch in Vancover.

Evan Davies’ latest collec-tion of handcrafted paper toles opens tonight (Wednesday) at the gallery; the exhibit runs until July 25.

Davies, who first studied art while at Port Moody secondary

school and later under former PMSS teacher Keith Rice-Jones and his wife, Celia, at their Wildrice Studios, went to the Studio Art Program at Capilano University. He obtained his bachelor of fine arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design University.

Davies’ new exhibit features images culled from social media, viral memes and other ephemeral resources from across the digital landscape and brings them into physical reality through the lost art of paper toling.

That craft involves layering and sculpting multiple copies of the same image to create a three dimensional collage from two dimensional images, ac-cording to a press release.

Inclusive Hiring Makes Good Business Sense

Krista working at I Party Dollar Store

In the Tri-Cities there are motivated, hard working and reliable individuals that can provide much value to employers. There is a strong business case for hiring people with developmental disabilities: greater job satisfaction, increased customer loyalty, higher staff morale and a diverse and productive workforce, all leading to increased business pro� tability. In terms of safety, studies show diverse worksites have better safety records. Join us in increasing employment for people with varying abilities.

Good night, sleep tight

VISUAL ART


Flavia Chan had an active imagination growing up.

She loved the pictures in her storybooks at bedtime and the colourful characters that drove the narratives.

Luckily for us, Chan kept her childlike curiosity through her adult years and translated the scenes in her head into lovely 2D and 3D illustrations.

Tomorrow (Thursday), the graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design will unveil her first solo show at the Port Moody Arts Centre in a series called Stories Before We Sleep.

The presentation comes after Chan was named the 2014 award recipient of the Kwi Am Choi Scholarship last August.

“The scholarship promises a gallery show that is completely my own, which has always been something I’ve been hop-ing to achieve throughout my years in art school,” Chan told The Tri-City News last week.

The Burnaby resident will have 36 pieces on display, most of them acrylic paintings on CNC cut boards. For her 2D artworks, Chan primarily used pen and ink, scanning her line-work and adding the colour digitally. Her prefabricated vinyl 3D platforms are from Kidrobot (her favourite is the Trikky platform).

Chan draws her inspira-tions from a number of places: Quotes from strangers to her latest colour obsession. “I’m inspired by a lot of people around me and their stories, perhaps more specifically the sad stuff like bad habits, down-falls and regrets,” she said. “I’m really drawn to the not

so happy things about life. I think there are qualities in that area that are worthy of exploring. Aesthe-tically, I’m

inspired by patterns in nature and all the tiny details around us that go unnoticed.”

The exhibit title, Stories Before We Sleep, reflects on the period at the end of the day — that space between decom-pressing from the day’s work and before the night rest. It’s the time Chan imagines how she could have made different choices earlier in the day or said other things.

“Perhaps the life that we conjure in our minds before we drift off is the one we really wish to have in the morning,” she said.

Meanwhile, also opening at the PMAC gallery on Thursday night is A Space in Time, fea-turing four artists from the VCON 39 art show: steampunk jewelry designer Carolyn Bruce; Jeff Burnette, known for his blown-glass ray guns; fantasy illustrator Melissa Mary Duncan; and painter Hing Kei. As well, some students who have taken part in the 300-plus art classes at PMAC will display their work in an biennial mul-timedia group show.

The three exhibits run until July 17.

• The opening receptions will be held June 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. John’s St.). Call 604-931-2008 or visit pomo-arts.ca.

Win streak comes to an end for Sr. Adanacs

WLA LACROSSE

But team bounces back Sunday with win over BelliesGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Adanacs’ win-streak was halted Friday night after a tightly-played 10-9 loss to the league-leading Victoria Shamrocks at the Q Centre.

Both teams struggled to hang on to the lead for most of the game, with goals being scored right up until the final seconds of the match.

But the visiting Adanacs found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreboard when the buzzer sounded, taking their first loss in four games.

The Shamrocks opened the scoring just over one min-ute into the first period, but Brendon Anger evened things for the Adanacs 60 seconds later.

Coquitlam’s Travis Cornwall tied the game up against after Victoria scored its second goal, and the teams exchanged goals several more times before the second period.

The Adanacs appeared to start to pull away early in the middle frame, when Terry Ellis and Anger scored two short-handed markers, but Victoria’s Corey Small answered with a pair of goal to tie things up again.

In the third, it was Victoria’s turn to take the lead, with the team scoring three unan-swered tallies to make it 10-7 for the Shamrocks.

But Coquitlam was not ready to quit, and with Five minutes left in the game Ryan Johnson made it 10-8 after

burying a pass from Carson Barton. A goal from Brian Gillis with seven seconds left in the game was not enough

to close the gap on the score-board and the A’s put its third notch in the loss column of the year.

Coquitlam were much more dominant in their return to the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex 24-hours later, where they took on the second-place New Westminster Salmonbellies.

The game was fairly even early on, before the A’s went on a five-goal run beginning at the end of the first period and was only interupted when New West’s Jordan McBride potted a power play goal in the second.

Two more goals from Coquitlam’s Vincent Ricci and Barton made it 9-4 for the home team when the final buzzer sounded.

Tyler Garrison had a four-point night, potting one goal and three assists, while Gillis scored two goals and two as-sists. Adam Shute was strong in net, turning away 50 of the 54 shots he faced.

Coquitlam was expected to play the Burnaby Lakers Tuesday night at the Bill Copeland Arena after The Tri-City News’ deadline.

The Adanacs will be back at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex when the Shamrocks come to town. The opening faceoff is at 7 p.m.

Little leaguers recognized COQUITLAM BASEBALL

Ten Coq. players receive honour at Mundy Park

A record setting ten players were awarded the Touch ‘Em All Award at the Coquitlam Little League’s annual Founders Day last week, an honour recognizing 18-year-old athletes that have been in the baseball program for the past five years.

Robert Henry, Alan Velton,

Sean Perry, Ben McCarthy, Kyle Habkirk, Brett Honeysett, Keegan Baldwin, Andrew Walton, Max Schriber and Derek Fong each received the honour.

Most of the athletes have been played longer than the five-year minimum, with some even playing their entire 14-year little league career with Coquitlam. The awards were given out during a ceremony at Mundy Park last week.

ON THE PITCH

Red Divas take silverTeam wins re-gional silver last weekend

The Coquitlam Red Divas brought home a home silver medal at the under-12 baseball regional championships last weekend.

The team came up short in the finals against the Burnaby Roadrunners, despite taking a massive lead in the first in-ning, highlighted by a hit from Carissa Dedes, which batted in teammates Taylor Thate and Jessie McKinney.

Sara Sutherland was strong on the mound for Coquitlam, keeping the game close in the early innings.

In the final inning, Ashley Smith hit a two-run homer to take the lead and the team appeared to be cruising to a gold-medal showing at the tournament.

However, in the bottom of the final inning Burnaby man-aged to comeback and take the lead to win the championship.

The Red Divas had a strong showing on their way to the finals.

They made quick work of

the New West Royals in the first game of the tournament, which they won 17-15 follow-ing a game-ending double play by Jade Pankiw.

In the semifinals, the Red Divas took down the North Shore Eagles 12-9. Mikayla Windle got the win on the mound.
