Forest fire dangers in Tri-City but Fort McMurray-like destruction is unlikely
FORT MCMURRAY FIRE
Chief says plans in place to deal with interface firesDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
Coquitlam’s fire chief is watching the Fort McMurray wildfire with alarm, thankful no one has died from the blaze that spread so quickly and admiring of the efforts of police and fire-fighters to keep people safe.
“It’s starting to get everyone’s attention,” Wade Pierlot said Wednesday. “While I would say everybody has got plans in place and are prepared, there is just no preparation for what you see in Fort McMurray.
“With those are category six fires, you just get out of the way.”
Tri-City fire departments also have plans in place to deal with what are called interface fires — where wilderness and urban development meet. And with April the hottest April since 1937 and the driest in over a de-cade, Coquitlam’s forestry inter-face firefighting team is already on alert, Pierlot said.
“We’re about a month ahead of what we’d normally be. It’s shaping up to be a real potential bad fire season with what we’re seeing.”
But Coquitlam would not expect to see a situation similar to the one facing residents and emergency responders in Fort McMurray because the city has access to considerably more resources and equipment. As well, temperate forest condi-tions — it rains more frequently here — are different from those of a dry, grassland prairie.
“Could it occur here? Not in
our current understanding, but we could have real problems,” Pierlot said.
To be safe, emergency per-sonnel are well-trained, evacu-ation plans are in place and the city employs FireSmart guide-lines. Homes such as those on Burke Mountain have to be built with fire-resistant materi-als, for example, and, to keep things damp, approximately 900 homes that border on parks and forested lands are allowed to water their lawns daily if the fire hazard rating is extreme.
“That’s not to stop the fire from getting into the home,” he said. If they have moistured landscaping and a fire in a bar-becue or home, [it’s to make sure] that it doesn’t proceed into the forest.”
As he watches the Fort McMurray fire, Pierlot is mindful of the need for a safe and orderly evacuation and he recommends people have a grab-and-go emergency kit handy and their vehicle at least half full of gas.
“It’s a reality the whole world is facing as we notice our cli-mate is changing,” he said. “If there is something you can pre-pare and do, [then do it].
A Coquitlam man is breathing a sigh of relief after learning members of his family managed to flee Fort McMurray to Edmonton as a devastating wildfire destroyed hundreds of homes.
Rob Bottos said his fiancé’s sister and husband managed
to escape by car from their downtown apartment com-plex — but only after spending several tense hours worrying about what to do.
“I told them the news is saying ‘get out, get out’ but they said, ‘All the roads are jammed, we can’t get out.’”
The couple did manage to leave at about 6 p.m. Tuesday, driving to Edmonton to find
a place to stay just as the fire department was issuing a full evacuation order for the town’s 60,000 residents..
They are now living in a Holiday Inn in Edmonton, hoping for news of when they can return, Bottos said.
“They saw lots of chaos, lots of abandoned cars. Luckily, they were able to get gas be-fore they left for Edmonton.”
According to the Fort McMurray Fire Department website, a full evacuation order for the northern Alberta city was put in place at about 6:25 p.m. on Tuesday.
The Tri-City News’ sis-ter paper, the Athabasca Advocate, said several facili-ties in its readership area had opened doors to evacuees.
BC CTV PHOTOThe devastation caused by the wildfire in Fort McMurray, Alta. has been widespread. And while the Tri-Cities is exposed to the potential for interface fires in nearby forested areas, it’s highly unlikely a blaze of this magnitude could happen here, says Coquitlam’s fire chief.
House hit hard by fire but chickens were savedTRI-CITY FIRE
SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
A Port Moody home has been destroyed by fire — but the pet chickens are safe.
The fire broke out at the
home in the 100-block of Maple Drive, near Forest Park Way, at about 10:15 a.m. Thursday and, within a few hours, the top two floors were engulfed in flames.
Port Moody Fire Rescue Chief Remo Faedo said the fire
started accidentally and was traced back to a cigarette.
“The homeowner was smok-ing early in the morning outside at the back of the house on the ground floor. Whatever he put the cigarette out in caught fire
and travelled up the side and back of the house,” Faedo said. “It got in through the eaves and into the roof, it caught the roof on fire and then the third floor.”
There was significant struc-tural damage to the third floor
and the second floor saw heavy smoke and water damage, Faedo added. Firefighters were able to knock the flames down while ensuring the neighbour-ing homes received only super-ficial damage from the heat.
Nobody was injured in the fire and firefighters were also able to safely remove some 15 adult and baby chickens from inside the home.

Do you know anyone who needs bread?
HELPING HANDS
SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News
A recent stop for a loaf of bread has led Nicole Whitman on an unexpected search for an organization willing to take doz-ens of loaves of donated dough.
The Port Coquitlam woman was on her regular run to Olivier’s Breads’ factory outlet on Kingsway Avenue to pick up a loaf or two when she noticed a truck dumping a stagger-ing amount of bread into an organics bin. She emailed the owner and asked whether the bread couldn’t be going to people in need.
After they spoke in person, Whitman decided to take on the job of finding a new home for the bread.
“He’s quite happy to see it go but he just doesn’t have the resources to get it out there,” Whitman said.
But she has encountered a surprising roadblock: Nobody seems to want it.
She tried Covenant House and Union Gospel Mission in Vancouver but neither needed any bread.
Closer to home, Whitman pitched it to the Share food bank but was told bread isn’t in short supply on its shelves.
Quest Food Exchange on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside will take some, but not all, of it.
Heritage Woods secondary school in Port Moody will also take some for a sandwich pro-gram for Downtown Eastside
residents.Complicating the efforts are
the logistics of pick-up and delivery.
“I have a full-time job, I can’t be delivering bread all over the place,” Whitman said. “But it’s a ridiculous amount of bread — it could feed the Tri-Cities.”
Olivier Audibert, the chef and owner behind Olivier’s Breads, said the wasted bread stems from a couple of issues: He is contractually obligated to oversupply some clients to en-sure their shelves remain fully stocked throughout the day, and then to take back what doesn’t sell. And consumers usually opt for only the freshest bread when yesterday’s is still perfectly edible.
Audibert estimates about $15,000 worth of bread is tossed each week. “We are try-ing to get it less and less but it’s still a lot,” he said.
Audibert is making adjust-ments in his production line to keep the waste to a minimum but is hopeful that Whitman can find a home for the bread that would otherwise go to the green bin.
HELP OUTIf you can help Nicole Whitman find a home for Olivier’s leftover bread, email [email protected].

PoCo unveils rec centre design drawingsPORT COQUITLAM
City also names the builder for its new rec complex JUSTIN BEDDALLThe Tri-CiTy News
The city of Port Coquitlam is partnering with the company that built the Langley Events Centre to build its new recre-ation complex.
Burnaby-based Ventana Construction, which built the LEC as well as Prospera Centre in Chilliwack and will be work-ing with Quantum Properties and Architecture 49 in PoCo, won a bid process to build the new community rec complex, which also includes housing and commercial space on a 15-acre parcel of land in down-town PoCo.
Mayor Greg Moore said that after extensive community en-gagement to find out what the public was looking for in a new rec complex, it become obvi-ous: “They really came out and said ‘We want a community gathering facility.’”
The new centre, which will replace the old rec facilities at Wilson Avenue and Mary Hill Road, will include a pool, ice arenas and a variety of fitness and multi-purpose space.
“One of the things that we wanted to do was to ensure that this community gathering facil-
ity connected into the down-town. So it’s not just on the edge of the downtown. There was this sense of the architecture that you flow between down-town and this community gath-ering facility. So that if you’re a parent and you drop your kids off at hockey or something in the aquatics area, they might just go for a walk in the down-town and do some shopping or go to a coffee shop. There is this synergy between the downtown and the rec centre.”
“I think it’s an exciting step for us to be taking,” said Coun. Brad West. “It means that now we can begin down the path of seeing it constructed. What it means to the community is that we are going to have a brand-new community centre that is really going to be a focal point in Port Coquitlam, for community events, for sports and recreation, also just a place for people to gather as well… so I think that is one thing that people are really going to appreciate about this.”
Last summer, the city re-ceived $12.5 million from the federal government to help fund the new rec centre proj-ect.
The city says final costs for the project will not be known until the soil and site testing and detailed planning work are completed but a July 2015 story in The Tri-City News reported the estimated cost of the capi-tal project was $96.8 million.
Moore said that figure is “in the ballpark” but added, “We
want to go to that next step of design before we start to talk about the overall cost for the project.”
While the components of the facility have already been planned, during the next step of detailed design, the city will be working with different user groups to make sure the design works for them and that ame-
nities are appropriate in size and location.
“There could be changes to the design that could increase or decrease the cost of the con-struction as well,” Moore said.
The city is creating a stake-holders’ group for input on the detailed design, which will be unveiled in July.

Port Moody’s biggest trans-portation headaches are being targeted in a master trans-portation plan that is nearing completion.
Now in the last of five phases — including public input, vi-sioning, planning and techni-cal analyses — since the proj-ect launched last spring, the draft long-term plan will guide decisions for drivers, transit users, cyclists and pedestrians over the next 30 years.
It’s a once-a-decade project that weighs in at some 220 pages but is guided by three key strategies:
• establishing a network of complete streets;
• building a transit-oriented community;
• and creating a vibrant waterfront with better connec-tions to Moody Centre.
“It’s built off of council’s strategic plan… but when you get down to it, it’s what people really care about, what the community told us to date, and making improvements for all modes of transportation,” said Mark Halpin, the city’s trans-portation planner.
That means everything from truck routes to bike routes, traf-fic lights to turning lanes and walkers to transit riders will see changes in the decades to come.
Complete streets — defined as “destinations and places that people want to be, in-stead of places to simply move through” — are a key focus for the plan and are proposed to include St. Johns, Clarke, Murray and Spring streets. Elements can include wider sidewalks and boulevards to separate them from traffic, canopies or awnings, the use of colour, architecture and trees, and areas that encourage street activities and socializing.
“Developing street designs that consider the needs of all road users and that focus on moving people instead of vehicles is key to improving how people are able to travel through and spend their time within Moody Centre,” the re-port states.
Such changes will require a balancing act between the need to keep commuters mov-ing while creating an environ-ment conducive to economic vibrancy.
“We know we’re a regional connection… but St. Johns from a commuter’s perspective has been underserved,” Halpin said. “It functions as a through corridor and through the plan, we’re looking at improvements for cycling and walking facili-ties along it… to improve the economic vibrancies along the corridor.”
The Evergreen Line will be a significant part of those changes, moving 4,000 people per hour during the morning and evening rush hours.
“It’s an amazing opportunity and how we capitalize on that opportunity will have sig-nificant impacts” on the city’s economic landscape and from a traffic perspective, Halpin added.
Some additional highlights include proposed new, devel-opment-funded overpasses connecting Moody Centre to the shoreline.
Halpin said vehicular access could be increased either by doubling the existing capacity on Moody Street or adding a new link near Mary Street as well as new pedestrian con-nections between Williams Street and Electronic Avenue, and near Queens Street.
A package of improvements is also aimed at resolving the
Moody-Clarke loop: Installing a new traffic light at Grant Street to divert some of the north-south movement; re-stricting turns at Moody and Clarke; and adding a traffic sig-nal at the base of the ramp.
Staff are also working with TransLink to remove the HOV lane designations from St. Johns, Moody and Clarke.
“It’s under-utilized,” Halpin said. “We think re-allocating that road space to other uses could be quite beneficial, and it goes hand in hand with the pack deal for the Moody bottleneck.”
The final challenge of the master transportation plan will be whittling down the big ideas into a series of pri-oritized projects — and de-termining how to fund them. That discussion paper goes to council May 24.

B.C.’s two major provincial political parties sank more than $100,000 each into February’s Coquitlam-Burke Mountain byelection, newly released Elections BC documents show.
BC NDP candidate Jodie Wickens, who won, spent $110,926 in her winning effort while the BC Liberals’ Joan Isaacs laid out $100,162 for her campaign.
Both campaigns were en-tirely funded through transfers
from their parties.Meanwhile, Green Party
candidate Joe Keithley spent $22,948, with $8,105 com-ing from his party, while Libertarian candidate Paul Geddes did not spend any money on his campaign.
There were some notable expenditures listed in the can-didates’ financial disclosure forms.
For example, Wickens’ cam-paign spent $46,184 on salaries and benefits while Isaacs’ team only spent $13,843. The NDP also outspent the BC Liberals

But the BC Liberals put more money into research and poll-ing, spending $27,392, while the NDP did not spend anything.
The BC Liberals also had the highest dollar-to-vote ratio, spending $31.84 for every one of the 3,146 ballots cast for Isaacs; the NDP spent $28.92 for every one of the 3,836 ballots cast for Wickens. The Green Party spent $20.60 for each of the 1,114 votes cast for Keithley.

Time for some light to shine on local politicians’ payCivic politicians likely think an election every four
years is enough opportunity for the public to weigh in on how much they get paid.
But they’re wrong.The taxpaying public should be able to scrutinize
council and school board pay packages easily, fre-quently and rigorously as well as comment and even have some input — and not just at election time. Here’s why:
For years, politicians’ pay was low, possibly because there were other perks, such as prestige or opportunities for family and business advancement. But over the years, elected positions have been professionalized, with higher expectations, greater decision-making power over larger organizations and multi-million dollar budgets, and stricter conflict-of-interests rules.
This has led to politicians getting paid more — the equivalent of management positions in the private sec-tor. For example, the average remuneration for a Metro Vancouver mayor is $102,017, the equivalent of a full-time job in a management or skilled leadership position, while councillors are typically paid a third to 40% of that salary,
according to recent analysis by the city of New West.But here’s the thing: In the private sector, there is a boss
or shareholders to scrutinize management salaries — not the case among the politicos.
In Metro Vancouver, politicians decide their own salaries, although they go to great lengths to put some distance between themselves and any increases. They do this by putting into place formulas for adjustments, many of them automatic.
In Port Coquitlam, salaries are adjusted for inflation.In Coquitlam, they are adjusted to match contracts for
unionized employees.In Port Moody, council salaries were raised in 2014 to
keep up with politicians’ pay in comparable cities.Sometimes these raises are hidden from view, as in the
case of School District 43, where trustees’ pay is the average of the Tri-City councillors (for a lot less time and a lot fewer meetings), adjusted annually on Jan. 1 — behind closed doors.
Arguably, there is some merit to having a formula and an arm’s length distance between politicians and their pay adjustments. But the result is that the pay hikes aren’t
discussed in public, or if they are, by that time, they are more or less a fait accompli. It’s not until the annual state-ment of financial information comes out that salaries are revealed, and then they have to be matched with the previous year to see what has changed.
While it’s likely many people aren’t concerned with this issue — they’re probably just glad someone is doing the job of looking after cities and schools — it’s the prin-ciple of the thing. There’s no reason not to post this infor-mation openly and proudly, if the pay can be justified.
That’s why New Westminster deserves kudos for doing a rare thing: Council in the Royal City is reviewing its re-muneration policy and is actually inviting public input. Not only that, but the proposed changes, including cur-rent and adjusted salaries, have been posted in the New Westminster Record, a sister paper of The Tri-City News, in the form of a public notice.
This kind of sunlight on a contentious issue is appreci-ated and while few will likely turn up to make a com-ment, the transparency can only enhance public trust.
Tri-City mayors, councillors and, especially, school trustees shouldn’t be afraid do the same.

A hard reality of terrorismInternational headlines have once again put terror-
ism in the spotlight and this time, a one-time Port Coquitlam resident is involved.
This week, we learned that Canadian Robert Hall was not among the 10 hostages who were released on Sunday by the Abu Sayyaf terror group and thus we don’t know what his future will be. The Canadian gov-ernment is adamant it will not pay ransom for the re-lease of hostages and the prime minister reiterated this hardline stance last week after the beheading of another Canadian, John Ridsdel, by the same group.
Obviously, this policy is in place to protect Canadians elsewhere because without it, everyone one with a Canadian flag on their backpack would be at risk.
Still, it’s a hard reality to face and a threat that is be-coming more common as disaffected groups use terror to achieve their radical objectives.

TC LETTERSCuts have affected Tri-City students
TIME TO UPDATE SOME DEMOGRAPHICS
SCHOOL DISTRICT 43
THE CENSUS
The Editor,Re. “More need than cash in
schools” (The Tri-City News, April 22).
Kids in Coquitlam school district are still being affected by the budget cuts made in 2014. I am a Grade 6 student at Eagle Mountain middle school, a brand new school, which was built during the major cuts. As a result of the cuts, our library is small, we don’t have a cafeteria, no phys-ical health education teachers
and no full-time librarian. Not having all these things affects students.
Because we don’t have a cafeteria, we don’t have a place where we can meet with friends and socialize.
Because we don’t have a physical health education teacher, our regular teachers don’t have as much experience as a PE teacher might have. They have to teach us PE when they should be in their prep time, or teaching what they are
experienced at.Not having a full-time librar-
ian has made one of the biggest impacts of all on my peers and myself. This has made us not want to read the ways we used. Before, we just had a librar-ian; now, we have a part-time librarian who has both be a librarian and a teacher for spe-cific classes. Also, our library is very small. We don’t have a lot of books to choose from, so we read less.Nickolas Jovanovic, Anmore
The Editor,In light of the employment
equity clause found in all fed-eral and some private company job postings, I was interested to see how the number of visible minorities is going to be deter-mined in the latest census.
Here is the basic clause: “The Employment Equity
Act identifies and defines the designated groups as: women; Aboriginal peoples — people who are Indian, Inuit or Métis; persons with disabilities; and members of visible mi-norities — people, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour.”
As the postings urge ap-plications from all of the above-mentioned groups, with an obvious exclusion of one particular gender and ethnic group, I would have thought some updating of the demo-graphics is due.Chris Grindley-Ferris, Coquitlam

(Chair Judy Shirra receiving $46,601.18 and vice-chair Michael Thomas $44,482.95.)
By comparison, Surrey school trustees, who oversee more than 70,000 students, are paid $32,000 and the chair is paid $36,800.
And in Vancouver school district, which has 54,000 stu-dents, trustees receive $26,022 while the chair is paid $28,190.
Only Coquitlam council-lors make more than SD43 trustees. Remuneration for Coquitlam councillors is $57,549 (the mayor makes $132,228), compared to $39,000 for PoCo councillors (mayor: $99,470), and Port Moody councillors make $33,760 (mayor: $86,958).
Board chair Shirra, who’s a PoCo trustee, defends the policy as a fair one based on the workload. She also said that because trustees’ pay is adjusted automatically, politics and conflict of interest are taken out of the decision-making process.
“It’s fair and it’s realistic if we want to continue to get good people in,” she said.
Questions have been raised over the years as to why trust-ees compare their jobs to those of city councillors — most of whom sit on multiple city and regional committees, and all of whom are responsible for reviewing complex and lengthy planning documents — rather than those of trustees in other school districts.
But Shirra said SD43 trust-
ees deserve their pay and the policy was written many years ago to reflect the workload, which includes overseeing a $260-million budget.
“We believe in the philoso-phy, we do work hard, and it’s more than a part-time job right now.”
If there is a change, Shirra said, she would like to see one that adjusts pay depending on the hours people put into the job so people who do less would get a smaller salary.

Open house on plans for Blakeburn Wed.
PORT COQUITLAM
JUSTIN BEDDALLThe Tri-CiTy News
Turning an old sewage treatment pond in northeast Port Coquitlam into a public park took a little longer than expected. The idea was first discussed by the city in the late 1990s but now — two decades later — it has reached the de-sign concept stage.
Next Wednesday, PoCo resi-dents will get their first glimpse at design concepts for the future Blakeburn Lagoons Park at an open house where the city hopes to gather feedback on the two initial concepts for the park, expected to be completed in 2017.
The project is estimated to cost $2.8 million, with $1.9 million coming from a federal-provincial Small Communities Fund grant and the city paying the rest, plus $165,000 for park amenities not covered by the fund.
The 11-acre area, located east of Blakeburn elementary and north of Carnoustie Golf Club, used to be operated by the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District for sani-tary sewer flows for homes and farms until the site was decom-missioned in 1978.
When the city first consid-ered turning the area into a park in the 1990s, the plan was deferred because the price tag was too high for removing haz-ardous substances from the soil and doing other remediation work.
In 2006, PoCo’s parks, recre-ation and culture plan included the area as a future park “pend-ing funding.”
According to the city, the new park will include a pair of linked
lagoons, trails and viewing areas. A healing garden and is-land in the middle of the lagoon are also being considered.
Jami Watson Roberts, a Port Coquitlam mother of four who has advocated for the inclusion of a healing garden as a tribute to the women murdered on serial killer Robert Pickton’s nearby property, said she’s pleased the healing garden is being consid-ered for the new park.
“I’m very excited that it’s being considered and appreci-ate the city working with me in moving this project forward,” Roberts said.
Roberts recently met with Reconciliation Canada about the idea for a healing park.
“It was a very emotional meeting,” she said. “They were very supportive and grate-ful that someone from Port Coquitlam has stepped forward to honour the women.”
Roberts will make a presen-tation at the public open house and she plans to read com-ments she has received from some of the family members of the murdered women.
Lee-Anne Truong, manager of capital projects , said the city has developed two concepts for a healing garden based on Roberts’ ideas. “They will be displayed as part of the overall park design at the open house and we will be looking for feedback both on the inclusion of the healing garden in the park plan and on the design concepts itself,” she said in an email.
The city says the new park project will address many issues at the site that will improve the wildlife habit as well as improv-ing stormwater runoff around the Riverwood neighbourhood.
The May 11 open house take place from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Blakeburn elementary gym. After the public feedback period ends May 18, the park concept will be refined and another open house will take place in July.
For more information about the project, visit www.portco-quitlam.ca/blakeburn, where the online survey will be posted from May 11 to 18.

Long before farm-to-table became a movement, a group of SFU students began a com-munity economic development project in Coquitlam aimed at creating a community gather-ing place where local crafters, bakers, makers and farmers could sell their products.
That project turned into the Coquitlam Farmers Market, which turns 20 this season, making it one of Metro Vancouver’s longest running suburban farmers markets.
“It has grown exponentially within our city but I think you see that trend across the whole province,” said Tabitha McLoughlin, executive director of the market.
The largest jump in popular-ity has occurred over the past five years as farmers markets have gone from being a novelty to places where people regu-larly do their weekly grocery shopping.
“I love going and just chat-ting with [vendors] and know-ing where your food comes from,” said McLoughlin.
On a typical Sunday during the market’s 26-week season — beginning on Mother’s Day — 2,000-plus visitors will attend the market.
The market will celebrate its 20th anniversary with several themed events and promo-tions, including social media giveaways. For the season opener on May 8, there will be free treats for moms, music from Jeff Neufeld and a com-munity bunting project.
There are also lots of culinary events planned this year, from a Father’s Day event in June to a July 17 market birthday bash that well feature a salmon and burger barbecue hosted by the Coquitlam firefighters, birthday cake and other festive activities. In August, make room for the blueberry pancake breakfast. For back-to-school time in September, there will be a kids’ day market and back-to-school barbecue. And finally, the an-nual Harvest Festival takes place in October before the market goes into winter mode.
Returning this season is the popular demonstration series, which provides hands-on work-shops focussed on gardening, cooking and food.
• Coquitlam Farmers Market is open every Sunday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 8 to Oct. 30. The market is located in the Dogwood Pavilion parking lot at 624 Poirier St. (Poirier and Winslow). Market parking is available across the street at Centennial secondary school. For more about Coquitlam Farmers Market’s upcoming season, visit www.makebakeg-row.com.

STUDENTS & ENVIRONMENT
A trio of recent Heritage Woods secondary school grads is more than a third of the way towards its fundrais-ing goal to make a documen-tary on B.C.’s melting glaciers.
Kyler Dickey, Pierce Kinch and Ethan Volberg, all Port Moody residents, have raised almost $9,400 via the crowd-funding site indiegogo.com towards the cost of traveling and filming stories about how communities are af-fected by the retreat of the province’s majestic glaciers.
Another $14,000 is needed to help the MELT film project go from idea to reality. Funds raised would go to the project in the following ways: ap-
proximately 28% will pay for travel, 32% for production and 25% for post-production while 14% will go towards distribution.
“We ultimately want to in-spire everyone in B.C. to take action against climate change and we believe we can do just that, through our film MELT,” the group states on its Indiegogo site.

‘The goal is to spread it to politicians,’ say local teens
STUDENTS & REFUGEES
Students promo ideas of Oxford refugee advocateDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News
Three teenagers passionate about the plight of Syrian refu-gees have used their technol-ogy smarts to promote change and improve opportunities for people fleeing their homes.
Twins Laef and Alin Kucheran, 15, and Stefan Clarinval, 14, have started a website (thegoodsite.org/ted) and a social media cam-paign to spread the word of Alexander Betts, a University of Oxford professor who is a harsh critic of modern refugee policies.
“With something like this, the goal is to spread it to politi-cians, something that actually can do some good,” said Laef, who is a Grade 9 student at Inquiry Hub, School District 43’s self-paced learning school.
“I see this as a nicer form of clicktivism [where people use technology to promote social change],” he said. “This is something that could actually work out.”
The youths got turned on to
Betts’ message while watch-ing his TED talk that was streamed live at their school in February. “We thought this is something that we could spread to people and could do something cool,” Laef said.
They were impressed with Betts’ solutions for ending the refugee crisis that has millions of displaced people sitting in camps, living hand to mouth in urban cities or risking their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea to get to Europe.
According to Betts, Syrians should be given special visas and allowed to catch a dis-
count flight to the country of their choice, where they would be encouraged to work or start businesses with policies that would facilitate entrepreneur-ship.
Betts, who studies migration policies, says similar policies have been used in Uganda and Brazil with great success and his TED talk points out that 300 children have died crossing the Mediterranean since the tragic death of Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old nephew of Coquitlam resident Tima Kurdi.
By connecting thegoodsite.org/ted with the website ev-erypolitician.org, the SD43
students have established a website where people can con-tact politicians in their home country and send them Betts’ TED Talk. The boys also plan to make a video and send it out on social media to capture people’s attention.
Spreading the word is criti-cal to their goal, they say, and while Betts’ TED Talk has already been seen by more than 500,000 people, “If each of those 500,000 could send the talk to each of their representa-tives, that would be amazing,” Laef said.

Festival-packed weekend to celebrate art, salmon, May Day
THINGS-TO-DO GUIDE: MAY 6–8
SARAH PAYNETHE TRI-CITY NEWS
There is a tremendous amount of family fun lined up for the weekend, from live music and the May Day parade (and all that goes with it) to the Fingerling and Youth Arts festivals.
Friday, May 6BLOCK PARTY FOR BABIES
Head to Rocky Point Park in Port Moody for a family-friendly party featuring a bouncy castle, food, entertainment and more from 4 to 7 p.m. The event wraps up CTV Vancouver’s week-long Hope Starts Here campaign, which raises funds for the BC Women’s Hospital Newborn ICU; news anchor Tamara Taggart will broadcast the news live from Rocky Point at 5 and 6 p.m.
GET TO KNOW POCOPoCo’s May Day festivities continue with
plenty of family-friendly fun lined up. Tonight, join the free Heritage Downtown Walk, a guided tour with historian Bryan Ness at 6 p.m. leav-ing from the Heritage Centre at Leigh Square. Stay for a free performance by the Choral Connections Choir at 7 p.m., featuring folk songs from B.C. and beyond. And in the PoCo recreation complex parking lot the kids can enjoy rides to their hearts’ content; West Coast Amusements opens at 3 p.m. today and at noon Saturday and Sunday (wristbands $30 each).
ROOTS FESTThe Devon Wells Trio lights up the Gallery
Bistro stage in Port Moody as the finale in the Spring Roots Fest series. With the sweet sound of the banjo, this group revels in the delightful tunes of Appalachian, bluegrass and folk tunes (bluerivermusic.ca). A set menu dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and the show is at 7:30 p.m.; tickets are $12 for each; call 604-937-0998 to reserve.
YOUTH ARTS FESTCheck out the artistic talent of the future
during PoMo’s Youth Arts Fest this weekend. The lineup includes a world music perfor-mance — the Uzume Taiko Ensemble, known for their electrifying stage presence as much as their drumming — tonight at 7 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre, followed by the Spark: Talent Showcase Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets for each show are $5 at brownpapertickets.com.
Saturday, May 7MORE MAY DAY

The event is informal, with no set agenda, and you’re free to attend in person at city hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. or online by emailing questions to [email protected], at face-book.com/cityofcoquitlam or tweet them to @cityofcoquitlam #coqthm2016.

Market kicks off in time for moms
GOOD EATS
Shall we start the summer market season off with a decadent celebration?
Most markets open at the be-ginning of May, just in time for Mother’s Day, and I can’t think of a better time to go all in and treat yourself and your loved ones to a sumptuous meal, fresh from the market.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Coquitlam Farmers Market. It’s a testa-ment to strength of our com-munity and the need for local food that what began as a school project has become a cornerstone of the Tri-Cities. There are some amazing things planned for the 20th, and some awesome new vendors.
As always, the Coquitlam
market opens Mother’s Day. The first 100 moms will be given a yummy macaron from one of our new vendors, Kizzy’s Macarons. What a great way to try them out.
Mums might want to hold on to the treat, though, and save it for dessert.
Urbani Foods is new to market and you can sample their delicious risotto balls first. Or perhaps some tastes from Vegan Devour? I don’t know what they will be sampling but everything I tried at the jury was phenomenal — worth buying and eating even if you are not vegan. Vegan foods are gaining popularity. The Raw Guy brings fabulous kale chips to his stall, along with other wonderful treats such as granola, macaroons, savoury crackers and salad toppers. Another vegan vendor is Seedibles. These two moms have created one sweet and one savoury food additive that is perfect for amping up the nutritional content of any food. If you have picky eaters, this is a game changer.
THE RECIPE: SAVOURY TART, EASY TO MAKE
I’ll leave you with a great recipe that takes advantage of the season’s freshest food. Langley Organics should have the asparagus (I saw the photos of the plants shooting up) and Wild West Coast Seafoods will have the shrimp. Bon appétit!
SHRIMP & ASPARAGUS RICOTTA TART500 grams ricotta4 eggs¼ cup grated cheese (whatever cheese you prefer)¼ cup milk2 tbsp fresh lemon juice3 tbsp finely chopped chives¼ tsp each salt and pepper10 asparagus spears, trimmed to fit1 lb. shrimp
Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix first seven ingredients to-gether and pour into a lightly greased pie plate. Top with asparagus spears and bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven, place shrimp on top and continue baking 20 more minutes. Remove from oven and let set 5 minutes before cutting. Serve hot or cold. Serves 4 to 6.

And speaking of seeds, try them in a James Lewis Foods power bar. These granola bars are not for the faint of heart. Packed with goodness, they combine seeds, grains, fruit and even chocolate into three different bars (I keep them in the car for when I can’t get a meal).
The market will have three new farm vendors this year, including Farmhouse Natural Cheeses. Their award-win-ning cheeses are second only to their ridiculously good, pasteurized non-homoge-nized whole milk. The cream rises to the top of the milk — how’s that for decadent?
So now that the moms are fed, it’s time for a little pampering. Scentimental Creations is returning to the summer market after a lengthy absence. Her all natural skin care will make any body feel pampered.
But if your mom is like me and doesn’t bother with skin care, then home decor might be just what she would like. Terrazza Décor is mak-ing beautiful stone plaques
that will shine indoors and out. And speaking of shining, Canvas Candle Company has lovely, fragrant soy candles — Sister Sister is my favourite.
This is just a taste of the great new vendors you’ll find this year. If you come every week, perhaps you will be one of the lucky shoppers to win one of the weekly prizes the market is offering: $20 in market money plus a special vendor gift. The first week’s gift is six bottles of lemonade syrup from yours truly. You can enter the contest through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Look for the full details at make-bakegrow.com.
And last, but not least, make sure you participate in the community banner being created. Throughout the summer, customers and vendors will be creating a banner to display, celebrat-ing the proud history of the Coquitlam Farmers Market.
Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (www.kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade.blogspot.ca) at the
Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers markets. Her column
runs monthly.

HIKE OF THE WEEKWhite Rock LookoutRating: strenuousTime: 6 to 7 hoursLength: 10.5 kmElevation gain: 1,020 m
The climb up the Halvor Lunden Trail is a really good workout, compara-
ble to the Grouse Grind in both steepness and elevation gain.
The majority of people heading up this trail make their way to the cluster of lakes on Eagle Ridge or venture further to Lindsay Lake. Whilst these are worthwhile hiking objec-tives, they are currently under several feet of snow.
This alternative hike takes in the White Rock Lookout, a spectacular viewpoint with a vast open panorama stretch-ing from Mt. Baker to down-town Vancouver and beyond
to Vancouver Island.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 onto the Academy Trail under the power line clearing, head north on that trail for about 150 m, looking out for the continuation of the Lunden Trail. This heads up into the forest on your right and is the start of the trail proper.
The steep trail winds its way up the mountain on seemingly endless switchbacks. After about half a kilometre, there will be a trail heading off to the right. The trail goes to Eagle Bluffs, so ignore this and carry on with the ascent.
The main highlight of the climb is the Polytrichum Lookout just below the 700 m elevation mark. Once the trail begins to level out a bit at 800 m elevation contour, there is about another kilometre to go to the junction for the White Rock Trail. Expect the climb to that junction to take between two and three hours in total.
The White Rock trail is sign-
posted with just a makeshift sign but the trail is fairly well flagged along the way to the lookout. After the junction, the trail ascends steeply where tree root ladders, mud and deadfall can all be expected.
After about 500 m, the trail levels out and then enters a clearing where the lookout can be seen just below. White Rock is a large, rocky outcrop with great views all around.
Be careful around the edges, which drop off steeply. Plan to spend time here to admire the view.
The easiest way back is to re-trace the route up. The Halvor Lunden Trail is a very long and steep descent, so those with suspect knees should get out their walking poles.
An alternative descent is to head down on the path that continues east from the look-out, taking the service roads around the Upper Plateau to the Full Pull trail for the final descent. Currently, there is a lot of fresh blowdown on the top part of this route, however, making it a tricky option.

Committed to safety since 1953.
How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project:
• A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marinesafety enhancements.
• An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.
• An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.
• Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers includingthe Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.
• Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and threeBC Class A parks.
• Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloopsand the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.
For more than four years, we’ve worked together withour neighbours and local communities to hear whatthey have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.By listening closely and having an open dialogue,we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and moreresponsive project. We are working to meet all therequirements of the regulators, as well as consultingwith communities, Indigenous people, governmentagencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue towork with them throughout development, constructionand operations. We know how critical it is to get thisright. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hearwith significant changes to the Project.
“I feel strongly that by listening to people,we are making better project decisions.”- Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

The split-level layouts feature Hardie Plank exterior siding with elements of stone veneer accents.
For those outdoor enthusiasts, Village Walk is within a short distance from walking/cycling trails, paddling, fishing, boating, horseback riding, golfing and more. It is also minutes away from the new Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons – a 1.8 million-square-foot shopping centre opening this fall.
“It won’t be long before people realize they’ve bought into some of the best real estate in the Lower Mainland,” adds Natalie. “With the new bridge slated for 2022, this is a really good time to purchase in the ever-growing community.”
The family behind the development
Ladner’s newest development, Village Walk, is a collection of unique, family-sized townhomes situated in the heart of beautiful, historic Ladner Village
Village Walk Ladner is a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes located in the
heart of Ladner Village, where nature, community, and recreation converge to create a unique lifestyle. With so many amenities within walking distance, every day will be a new adventure. You can shop along 48th Avenue, enjoy a latte at one of the many local coffee shops, visit Westham Island and purchase your produce fresh from a local organic farm. Life in Ladner would be nothing less than extraordinary. There’s plenty to
do in this friendly, proud little gem of a town.
In the heart of the historic town is where Village Walk will be located. Village Walk is right on the edge of the village (corner of 47A Avenue and 48B Street). You couldn’t get much more in the action, if you tried. Natalie Walker, Personal Real Estate Corporation ReMax ProGroup Realty said, “Location, location, location.”
Ranging in size from 1,384 to 1,935 square feet, these 23 townhomes will allow room to grow and space to breathe. The homes will be built with classic detailing with luxurious fixtures and finishes.
These spacious, split-level layouts feature generous outdoor terraces for entertaining. These distinctive homes feature tankless on-demand hot water systems and gas fireplaces. The stylish and functional gourmet kitchens are complete with shaker style cabinets,
have called Delta home for more than two decades. Originally from Europe, the developer brings quality workmanship and that sophisticated European flair to the homes they build – the last one being the Solei Terrace condominium development in Tsawwassen.
“The demand has been overwhelming. If people are interested, I strongly suggest they go to our website and get in touch with our sales team as soon as possible,” says Natalie.
The Sales centre is located at the ReMax Progroup Office – 5360 12th Avenue Tsawwassen and by appointment only. Presales will begin this month.
Tentative occupancy is slated for May to July 2017.

ELAINE FLEURY PHOTOThe Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs defeated the Delta Islanders 8-4 during their season home opener Wednesday night at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The victory was the A’s second of the season, after they defeated the Nanaimo Timbermen 18-2 last weekend at the Frank Crane Centre. Meanwhile, the Port Coquitlam Saints are also off to a winning start after taking down the New Westminster Salmonbellies 6-4 Tuesday night.
Winning starts for A’s, Saints as 2016 season gets underway
AND THEY’RE OFF...
Coquitlam juniors take wins over Delta, Nanaimo GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News
The 2016 BCJALL season is off to a strong start for the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs.
Fans got a chance to see the club in action Wednesday night, when the team posted its second win of the season with an 8-4 victory over the Delta Islanders during their Coquitlam home opener.
Despite goals from A’s forwards Reid Bowering and Dennon Armstrong, Delta held a 3-2 lead heading into the first intermission. However, a strong second period, which saw three unanswered Coquitlam goals — two from Jared Pozzobon and one from Angelo Pontellini — gave Coquitlam a 5-3 lead going into the third period.
Pozzobon completed the hat trick, while Keegan Rittinger and Kai McDonald completed the scoring for the home team’s 8-4 victory.
Christian Del Bianco stopped 32 of 36 in net for Coquitlam, while at the other end of the arena Delta goalie Ryland Hood stopped 41 of 49 shots.
Wednesday’s game was a lot closer than last Saturday’s road match, which saw Coquitlam torch the Nanaimo
Timbermen 18-2 at the Frank Crane Centre.
The game was basically over by the first intermission, where the visitors led 6-1. Four more goals in the second and eight more in the third has given the A’s the largest goal differential in the league after two games.
The Port Coquitlam Saints have also kicked off their sea-son with a notch in the win col-umn, after defeating the New Westminster Salmonbellies 6-4 at the Queen’s Park Arena Tuesday night.
Mitchell Flintoff scored the first goal for the home team, but PoCo responded with markers from Sam Degroot and Liam Thomas to take a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes.
The Bellies re-took the lead with three goals in the third, but Degroot slowed their mo-mentum with a marker toward the end of the middle frame as-sisted by Chase Malcolm.
PoCo took over the game in the third period, with Graydon Bradley scoring his first of the season and Sahawna Baker adding two more to win the game 6-4.
The Saints are scheduled to host the Langley Jr. Thunder at the PoCo Recreation Centre Friday night (May 6) at 8 p.m. Meanwhile, Coquitlam is gear-ing up for a trip to Victoria, where they will take on the Shamrocks at the Q Centre.

Taylor is making her mark in U.S. softball
NJCAA PITCHING HONOURS
Marshalltown pitcher named to all-regional squad
Coquitlam softball player Paige Taylor has been named to the 2016 NJCAA Div. 1 all-region softball team for her pitching work with the Marshalltown Community College Tigers this season.
The Terry Fox secondary alum was one of her team’s pri-
mary pitchers, posting a 17-11 record in the circle up to this point in the year. She also leads her con-ference with 183 strikeouts,
which ranks 14th in the United States.
Taylor is a freshman at the Iowa school and played her minor league ball with the Fraser Valley Fusion. She is
already making a name for herself in the NJCAA, posting a 2.83 earned run average, which is second best in the league, while her 17 wins rank third.
The 19-year-old athlete tossed 21 complete games on the year for the Tigers and struck out at least nine batters in a game in six different out-ings. She was selected to the all-region squad along with two of her teammates, Sarah Ghee and Kari Smith of Iowa.
The Douglas College Royals have named Joe Enevoldson as the head coach for the men’s basketball team.
Enevoldson, the current head coach of the boys’ pro-vincial under-17 team, comes to the Royals with a history of coaching with experience in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association and Canadian Interuniversity Sport
leagues.“I am honoured and excited
for the challenges of building a successful men’s basketball program in the Pacific Western Athletic Association and the CCAA,” says Enevoldson. “In a challenging league with domi-nant teams, we will grow and cultivate a culture of excellence the Douglas community can be proud of on all fronts.”
A former student-athlete at the University College of the Cariboo (now Thompson River University), Enevoldson has held coaching positions at UBC, TRU and Mount Royal University. Over the past two years, he has led the BC boys under-16 provincial squad to back-to-back gold med-als at the Canadian National Championships.
