Swiss horns make musicand friends

By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Two Coquitlam men are preparing for a stintat the 2012 World Expo in South Korea butthey wont be representing Canada.Bernie Heeb, who is from Switzerland, and

Hongchul Kim, a native of Korea, will be packingup their alphorns, as well as Kims schwyzergeli,which is like a small accordion, and travelling toYeosu, Korea to perform in the Swiss pavilion.

And if you thought that was odd, well, theresmore in the story of Heeb and Kims unlikelymusical partnership.

It began with a chance encounter nearly fouryears. Heeb was living on Westwood Plateauand, reminiscing about his homeland, he wouldtake his alphorn the two-and-a-half-metre-long wooden wind instrument featured in com-mercials for Ricola throat drops up EagleMountain to play, much like a Swiss herderwould back in the 1700s.

Coquitlam residents Bernie Heeb, originally from Switzerland, and Hongchul Kim, a native of Korea,play their alphorns, which theyll soon do again atthe 2012 World Expo in Kims homeland.VLADIMIR JAN PHOTO

The list is not a typi-cal list with numberednames within, Poundadded. It is more of anindividual work-up foreach individual and eachbusiness, with home ad-dresses, maps of individ-uals homes and escaperoutes.

Despite construction, no big change in crash statsOff-peak work one explanation

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Construction alongthe Highway 1 corri-dor in Coquitlam nearthe Port Mann Bridgemay be snarling trafficand causing confusionamong motorists butICBC statistics do notshow an increase in col-lisions.

Last year, 417 acci-dents occurred between

United Boulevard inCoquitlam and 152Street in Surrey, downfrom 2010, when 439 col-lisions took place. So farthis year, 149 accidentshave taken place.

But Adam Grossmanof ICBC said the worstpart of the year is overand numbers are ex-pected to drop as theweather warms up.

We always see morecrashes during the win-ter [and] early springmonths, he said in anemail. So that three-month period will likely

not be comparable tothe other three quartersof the year.

Since construction onthe Port Mann/Highway1 project began in 2008,accident numbers haveremained relatively con-stant.

The year before theproject began, ICBC tal-lied 473 collisions alongthe route. Those numbersdropped to 450 in 2008before peaking in 2009with 483. Since then, thenumbers have steadilydecreased, according toICBCs statistics.

We are pleased obvi-ously that the numberof incidents is actuallylower over the last cou-ple of years than it wasbefore construction,said Max Logan, spokes-

person for the PortMann/Highway 1 proj-ect. We are heartenedthat the efforts we havemade are working.

Logan credits a com-prehensive traffic man-

agement plan for keep-ing the crash numberslow and said the factmost of the major worktakes place in non-peakhours makes for saferdriving.

T he Por t Mann/Highway 1 Improvementproject began in 2008and is expected to becompleted by the end ofnext year, although mostof the new Port MannBridge is scheduled toopen in December.

When the entire proj-ect is finished, a new10-lane Port Mann willreplace the existingbridge and the freewaywill be widened andinterchanges on theCoquitlam and Surreyside will be [email protected]

TRAFFIC UPDATENight-time construction work along 152

Street near the intersection of Guildford Driveand Ferguson Diversion on the south side ofthe Fraser River is expected to wrap up nextweek. The work, which began on May 31, isrequired for crews to conduct the final pavingof 152 Street.

CRASH STATS 2007: 473 2008: 450 2009: 483 2010: 439 2011: 417 2012: 149 (Januaryto March)

Clockwise from top left: The view from the top of the south tower of the new Port Mann Bridge looking down on the construction below. The last gap to be filled to join the two sides of the bridge. The view from underneath the new bridge, showing its proximity to the old one. And workers dismantle a crane on the deck of the new bridge. The new Port Mann is scheduled to open to traffic in December. The old bridge will be dismantled and removed once the new bridge has been opened.

Tri-City youth seek-ing summer employ-ment should be pre-pared to put in someeffort to get the job theywant, says an employ-ment specialist workingin Coquitlam and PortCoquitlam.

Although the youthunemployment rate, at13%, is about doublethat for adults, jobsare available for savvyyoung people who knowwhat they want and arewilling to work hard toget it.

Just keep trying. Itsabout effort, says TylerMcCauley, program co-ordinator for Work BCoffices that recentlyopened in Coquitlamand Port Coquitlam ina province-wide over-haul of labour marketservices.

Although hes newt o t h e T r i - C i t i e s ,McCauley said youthjob search principlesapply everywhere andstudents should use thesummer to research thecareer they want andgain valuable experi-ence. For example, jobsin retail stores are goodfor developing peopleskills, he said, while anyentry level job is goodfor researching futurecareers.

I see way too manypeople with a criminol-ogy degree and dontwant to be a cop andtheyre scrambling, hesaid.

Youth should con-sider the summer as anopportunity to find outwhat they are good andwhat they like to do.

But dont dally, he says,with holidays looming,the summer job market isheating up and now is thetime to sharpen up thatresume and begin mak-ing inquiries. There arejobs out there, McCauleysays, in manufacturing,retail, landscaping andconstruction.

And he said, Jobsearch is a skill that

takes persistence andmarketing.

His office providesfree workshops for peo-ple who want to knowmore about the labourmarket and how to geta job.

Some other places tolook for summer posi-tions are cities and non-profit groups that arelooking for youths toprovide recreation ser-vices for children. Thefederal government hasa searchable job bankfor students at www.youth.gc.ca.

Work BC, locatedon the top floor of aShaughnessy Street of-fice building, provides avariety of free servicesfor anyone looking for

work. There is also bankof computers linkedto online job banks.Unemployed people onEmployment Insurancewho are 19 years andolder can also get ac-cess to case managerswho will help them withtheir job search.

Speak up Tuesday on PoCo bike path

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

P o r t C o q u i t l a mresidents will get theirchance to comment onthe preliminary designfor a pedestrian and bi-cycle path proposed forKingsway Avenue.

P l a n s f o r t h eKingsway Trail willbe on display at citysMaster TransportationPlan open house nextTuesday between 6 and8 p.m. at The Outlet(2253 Leigh Square).

If the pedestrian routereceives the necessaryapprovals, it would con-nect the citys downtownarea at Wilson Avenuewith Broadway Avenueand the Coast MeridianOverpass. Future phasesof the route would ex-tend it all the way to the

Mary Hill Bypass.We have a draft lay-

out that could poten-tially fit in that corri-dor, said Dave Currie,the citys manager oftransportation. Wedont want to go fur-ther until we get publicinput.

The mixed-use trailwould run along thenorth side of Kingsway,along a grassy area thatis a right-of-way forunderground gas andpower lines and cannotbe developed.

A trail is a good usefor that type of area, hesaid. There is little elseyou can really do withthe land, from a devel-opment perspective.

The project is cur-rently estimated to cost$800,000 but Currie saidthat as a more detailed

design is prepared, staffwill get a more definedfigures.

FEEDBACKResidents can give

their thoughts on theproposal and othertransportation issues atthe June 12 open houseor by taking part in anonline survey at www.portcoquitlam.ca/mtpbetween June 13 and 20.

New deal, new building for kayak business at PMs Rocky Point Park

By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Rocky Point Kayak iskicking off the summerpaddling season thisweekend with a grandre-opening celebrationto show off its new digs.

O w n e r J a m i eCuthbert is eager to geta jump on the seasonand settle in to the newspace, particularly afterthe uncertainty of thepast seven years sinceplans for the nearbyBoathouse restaurantwere announced.

In November 2005,the city of Port Moody

announced the SpectraGroup had won the rightto build a restaurant inRocky Point. Part of thedeal was a requirementthat Spectra build a num-ber of community ame-nities, including a water-front boardwalk and out-door plaza with fireplace,as well as a building tobe rented out to a kayakrental operator.

City spokespersonLeslyn Johnson re-vealed that the build-ing Spectra proposeddidnt meet with thecitys needs and so weaccepted a cash contri-bution instead.

Meanwhile, Cuthbertwas investigating op-tions for a floating build-ing at the Rocky Pointdocks but the regulatoryhurdles proved too oner-ous and expensive.

Eventually, Cuthbertproposed a deal much thesame as the Boathouses:He paid for constructionof the building, whichthe city owns, and willpay an annual lease anda share of profits for thenext 25 years.

Johnson said the leaseagreement provides thecity with about $3,200 an-nually from 2013 to 2022,plus applicable taxes

and utilities. From 2023to 2027, the lease pay-ments are nearly $4,300.The remaining 10 yearsare based on two five-year options to renew.Cuthbert will also pay a3.5% commission on anygross annual businessover $200,000.

And although he esti-mates the constructioncost him about $130,000 money he wouldnthave had to pay underthe original agreementbetween the city andSpectra Cuthbertfeels the deal is fair.

For the value ofthe position where the

building is, I think itsreasonable, he said.Im a pretty smallbusiness so I had to getsomething done.

Cuthbert said theamount hes paying issimilar to other kayakrental operations.

I guess Ill either bea genius or an idiot in25 years, he joked.

The city did not re-spond to a request for in-formation on when theSpectra deal changed,why its building pro-posal was rejected orwhat the value of thecash contribution [email protected]

City staff looking for ways to keepcosts low for art projects in PoCo

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

A public art programbeing proposed in PortCoquitlam would putgreater emphasis oncreativity and artisticelements when counciland staff make develop-ment decisions.

L a r r y W h e e l e r,PoCos acting directorof parks and recreation,said whether the city isbuilding a bridge, side-walk or other types ofinfrastructure, staff willlook for opportunities togive the project more ar-tistic flare.

The program, shouldit be adopted by coun-cil, would also formal-ize the citys decision-making process aroundchoosing and paying forpublic art.

Its kind of been doneon an ad hoc basis, hesaid. We wanted to re-ally shift the thinkingso that we looked at allopportunities throughthe arts lens.

Wheeler points to thecrosswalks in MapleRidge, where the munic-ipality has built artisticmosaics, as an exampleof a low-cost projectthat can enhance thestreetscape.

E n g i n e e r i n g h a sbegun to engage in theprocess, he added, andsimilar projects couldbe considered in PortCoquitlam in the future.

The thing with art isthat it is one of the keyelements to your qualityof life, he said. Whatwe are trying to do hereis create opportunitiesfor something that peo-ple will remember.

The public art pro-gram consists of severalrecommendations thatstaff will be forwardingto council for approval.It would create a visionstatement with guidingprinciples and adopt adefinition of public artfor the municipality.

The selection processwould consist of sev-eral steps. First, an op-portunity for public artwould have to be identi-fied, which would be fol-lowed by the creation ofa task group to considerthe project. An artistwould be selected andmunicipal approvalswould then be sought.

The program alsooutlines ways the citycan fund its public artprogram.

We are trying to doit in a way that wouldnot require a lot of newdollars, Wheeler said.We want to do it withexisting funding.

Developers and pri-vate business will beencouraged to incorpo-rate public art in their

developments and thestaff report said the cityshould set an examplewith its own propertiesand buildings.

Some municipalities,Wheeler notes, havegone as far as mandat-ing a certain amount ofpublic art for each de-velopment. But he saidthat at this point in the

evolution of PoCos artpolicy, making art a re-quirement is not neces-sary.

Still, he believes thathaving a formal policywill encourage devel-opers and residentsto come forward withideas for beautificationprojects in the city.

The new public wash-

rooms being planned forconstruction at LionsPark would be the firsttest of the public artprogram. Wheeler saidstaff and engineers arelooking for an oppor-tunity to incorporate amural or some form ofartistic design when theproject goes [email protected]
