Trasolini won’t run again in November
By Todd CoyneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody Mayor JoeTrasolini will not seek re-elec-tion in November.
The four-term mayor hasserved as the city’s top politiciansince 1999 and as a city council-lor for three years before that.
Trasolini told The Tri-CityNews Monday that he had al-ready decided not to run foranother term during the 2008mayor’s race but didn’t want toannounce it in the middle of hisf inal ter mout of fear ofbecoming a“lame duck”mayor.
“And thisgives a couplemonths toofor potentialcandidates toget organizedand seek the office,” Trasolinisaid Monday.
No candidates have officiallyannounced their nominationsyet for Port Moody mayor in theNov. 19 general election.
Trasolini said he felt therewere three issues he needed totackle in his final term as mayorand, for better or worse, those is-sues have now been resolved.
“For the Murray-Clarke over-pass and the Evergreen Line,I’ve done all that I can at the mu-nicipal level. It’s in the hands ofTransLink and the provincialgovernment now,” he said. “Andfor [Port Moody] Fire Hall No. 1,we just finished a very successfulprocess of building a state-of-the-art fire hall at the most affordableprice. So things have been put torest and it’s an opportune time.”
Mayor Trasolini said he is notthe kind of person to rest on hislaurels and may likely stay in-volved in politics, possibly at theprovincial level.
“I will be evaluating my oppor-tunities in the more relaxed sum-mer months that hopefully layahead,” Trasolini said. “Anythingis possible. I am not eliminatinganything at this time.”

It wasn’t easy but it’s done.Coquitlam council’s battle to
bring checks and balances to theregion’s new growth strategy endedthis week when it agreed to termsthat were being disputed in a resolu-tion process with Metro Vancouver.
The four meetings with Metrostaff and directors this and lastmonth started acrimoniously withone of the two facilitators quit-ting. That set the tone for the nextthree meetings, said Mayor RichardStewart, who represented the cityat the table with councillors SelinaRobinson and Mae Reid.
In the end, Metro agreed to a re-view annually showing the 24-mem-ber municipalities how the regionalbody is achieving its goals underthe 30-year document that coverseverything — in broad, sweepingterms — from housing and trans-portation to land-use planning and
air quality.The five ob-
j e c t i o n s f o rCoquitlam — theonly city to holdo u t a p p r ov a lof the RegionalGrowth Strategy(RGS) — centredon: Metro’s over-sight in local
land-use planning; the lack of legal,administrative and financial costs;the lack of clarity in the dispute-resolution process; the need formore consistency in land-use desig-nations; and the lack of definitionaround the term “regional signifi-cance.”
Robinson said Coquitlam didn’tget all of its questions answeredduring the four, four-hour sessionsthat were observed by regional may-ors on Metro’s intergovernmentalcommittee (who were paid $330 permeeting).
Still, “I actually think that we
gained a fair bit,” she said, “givenwhere we were at the beginning andwhat we came out at the end.”
Metro municipalities can nowbring forward proposed amend-ments to the RGS; Metro will pub-licly review the RGS every fiveyears to measure its performance;and a Metro committee will givefurther study to the meaning of “re-gional significance.”
Robinson called the negotia-tions “time well spent” but said shehas concerns with the amount ofmoney Metro spent on its side forthe discussions. She asked Coun.Lou Sekora, one of Coquitlam’s twoMetro directors, to raise the topic atits next board meeting.
Sekora, who on Mondayvoted against the so-calledImplementation Agreement forthe RGS along with Coun. DougMacdonell, said he also isn’t happywith how the Westwood PlateauGolf and Country Club lands arebeing classified in the document.
Several Plateau residents haveurged the city to ensure that prop-erty — as well as other green spaces— remain as conservation/recre-ation.
Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s gen-eral manager of planning, saidmany Metro municipalities havemade last-minute pitches to Metroto make land-use changes to theRGS; they will be incorporated in asubsequent “omnibus” resolution,likely within the next two years, hesaid.
City manager Peter Steblin saidMetro has assured the city the golfclub lands will remain as councilhas intended them in the officialcommunity plan. “I don’t think youhave to worry,” he said.
Macdonell said the negotiationswith Metro soured his views of theregional authority. “We’ve all seenthe appalling disregard by MetroVancouver to the cities throughoutthis process,” he said. “I witnesseda verbal attack on one of the pro-
cess facilitators right here in thischamber. It was so severe and sodisrespectful that he resigned.”
He added, “That’s one of the prob-lems with Metro Vancouver: It’s anold boys’ club and it excludes somecities on committees and rewardsothers with plumb, high payingcommittees. If your city isn’t partof the inner circle then your cityis under-represented on those deci-sion-making committees. There’stoo much bullying behaviour.
“That’s why I don’t trust themwhen they say they’ll look atthe five-year breakout clausethat Coquitlam’s put forward,”Macdonell said. “They say they will,but it hasn’t been added to the RGSyet, and I hope they will but I won’tbe surprised at all if the end resultis watered down and ineffective.”
Meanwhile, Coquitlam city coun-cil is expected to formally endorsethe RGS at next Monday’s councilmeeting.
A city of Port Coquitlam decision to charge resi-dents retroactively for garbage fees the municipalityfailed to collect has upset a group of homeowners at a25-unit townhouse complex.
Thanks to a records-keeping oversight, residents ofWillow Glen Estates have not paid a garbage levy since1989 and the city is hoping to recoup a portion of thelost revenue.
Now the residents are being charged for this year’sfee and the two years previous — totalling approxi-mately $530 per unit — an amount strata council presi-dent Clint Grayson said could be onerous for somefamilies to pay.
“We have people that are literally living month tomonth,” said Grayson. “About a quarter of the peoplehere are on fixed incomes.”
Last week The Tri-City News reported that morethan 90 PoCo residents have not paid a garbage levy,some going back more than two decades, because of arecords-keeping oversight at city hall.
Staff said that it is policy to collect the previous twoyears of payments when errors like this occur. In caseswhere the ownership of a home has changed duringthe 24-month time period, the new owner is chargedfrom the time they took possession of the property.
However, Jodi Mason, a resident of Willow GlenEstates and a strata council member, said the city hasnot been able to provide her with a written policy thatoutlines the two-year retroactive collection rule.
“I asked if I could just see the written policy,” shesaid. “They told me there is nothing to see. It is juststandard operating procedure.”
Mindy Smith, the city’s director of corporate ser-vices, said council is currently considering the matter
and will discuss the issue at its meeting on Monday.With a garbage levy that has fluctuated over the last
20 years, Smith said it would be difficult to calculateexactly how much revenue was lost, but she estimatedit is more than $100,000. By collecting the previous twoyears’ worth of levies the city expects to make up ap-proximately $40,000 in revenue.
Smith said the problem first came to light severalmonths ago when staff began updating the city’s re-cord-keeping software. The new software, she said,helped staff identify a number of homes that were notpaying their fees and will keep similar errors from oc-curring in the future.
Councillors are expected to discuss the garbage levyissue at their regular scheduled meeting on Monday,July 25, at 7 p.m. in Port Coquitlam council chambers(2580 Shaughnessy Street).

Retroactive garbage pay angers PoCo residents
By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
The city of Port Coquitlam istaking steps to prohibit the dis-charge of crossbows within themunicipality after two bearswere wounded by the weaponsin the Tri-Cities last month.
While the current FirearmsProhibition Bylaw covers mostfirearms, regulations don’t in-clude crossbows or bow and ar-rows. PoCo’s community safetycommittee voted in favour lastweek of amending the regula-tions to include arrow-firingweapons.
“There is authority in theCommunity Charter for [weap-ons regulations],” said DanScoones, the city’s manager ofbylaws. “We are just being pro-active.”
The changes to the city’s reg-ulations, Scoones added, meanthat the province will no lon-ger be able to issue licences inthe municipality for crossbowand bow and arrow hunters.
Last month PoCo Coun.Darrell Penner said the cityshould prohibit bow-huntingand crossbows in urban areas,after two bears were woundedby arrows in the northeastarea of Coquitlam.
In June conservation officers
told The Tri-City News thathunters who shot and woundeda bear on a Coquitlam blue-berry farm were within thebounds of the law. A $115 finewas issued to one hunter fornot cancelling his hunting tagindicating he had shot a bear— a minor offence — but hislicence was otherwise in order.
The bear was eventuallytracked down by conservationofficials who destroyed the 250-lb. male animal.
Another bear that waswounded by bow hunters lastweek was never found.
But the new rules in PortCoquitlam may not entirelyban the discharge of firearmsin the municipality.
The provincial Livestock Actgives a person the authority todischarge a weapon if the per-son is protecting livestock fromattack. That means a personcould still hunt on agriculturalland, if they had the ownerspermission and believed theirproperty was in danger.
Coquitlam, where the twobear shootings took place,has had informal discussionson the matter but have notamended their firearms bylawto include arrows or cross-bows.
City bans crossbow hunting within municipal limits

Council wants washroomsat Evergreen Line stations
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Washrooms on the newEvergreen Line should be open toall riders, at any time.
That’s the message Coquitlamcity council will send to thetransportation minister as theprovince gets set to build therapid transit line from LougheedTown Centre to Coquitlam TownCentre, via Port Moody.
On Monday, council votedunanimously to urge the prov-ince and TransLink, MetroVancouver’s transit operators, tochange its policies to have publicwashroom facilities — availableat any time — in the Evergreenstations in Coquitlam.
C u r r e n t l y, a l o n g t h eMillennium and Expo SkyTrainlines, riders have to ask stationattendants to unlock the loos;however, that’s not always con-venient, Coquitlam council con-tends.
Still, TransLink maintainsthat having freely accessible toi-lets isn’t part of its mandate, iscostly, isn’t part of its operationalbudget, and open bathrooms areprone to vandalism and inappro-priate/criminal activity.
Coun. NealN i c h o l s o nraised the topicat council inMarch, notingin particularthe need forunlocked wash-rooms for rid-ers with youngchildren.
The $1.4-billion Evergreen Lineis expected to be running by 2015.
TREE PLANTINGTwo major tree planting pro-
grams are slated this fall inCoquitlam for the city to meet its5,000 mark this year — a goal thatwasn’t achieved last year.
City staff are organizing aplanting event in October, lastingover several days, in PanoramaPark with school kids and volun-teers, courtesy of $9,000 in grantsfrom the Footprints ConservationSociety and the TD Friends of theEnvironment Foundation.
As well, TD Tree Days is donat-ing $3,500 for a tree planting inlate September in the Scott CreekLinear Park, south of DewdneyTrunk Road.
Earlier this year, volunteersand Scott Creek middle students
and teachersrolled up theirs l e e v e s f o ran Earth Daytree plantingin Scott CreekLinear Park, byRunnel Drive,that was spon-sored by TreeCanada and
IKEA. At that time, 120 trees and577 shrubs went into the ground.
The city launched its 10,000new trees target in 2009, budget-ing $55,000 for 5,000 trees in 2010and $51,000 for this year; however,3,220 trees were planted — or,at least, handed out — last yearthrough three programs: Adopt-a-Tree (2,740); Eco-Yard Smart(50); and tree planting on publicproperty (430).
This year’s push is for morepublic land plantings, offset by$16,300 in grants, said LannyEnglund, Coquitlam’s urban for-estry operations manager.
Tree maintenance for 2011 is$357,000 — a budget that “is get-ting bigger every year,” warnedCoun. Doug Macdonell, at lastmonth’s recreation committee,“and council should be aware ofadding to it.”

Mosquitos may beswarming in the FraserValley but there’s littlechance the dreadedWest Nile Virus will becreeping into the LowerMainland this year.
T h a t ’s t h e m e s -sage from ChristyMacDougall, the Tri-Cities’ acting vectorcontrol biologist who’smonitoring local catchbasins and storm drainswith four BCIT studentsthis summer.
In the valley, a speciesof mosquito — one thatdoesn’t carry WNV —is plaguing residentsmostly because of therising floodwaters ofthe Fraser River.
Those same “nui-sance” skeeters arebeing treated here byMacDougall’s team withbacteria-based larvicidessuch as Bti on an “asneeded basis,” she said.
The $80,000 programto monitor pest activ-ity in surface waters isfunded by the FraserHealth Authority.
“It’s been fairly thesame as last year,” she
said. “We’ve been doingit for so long now thatwe have a good idea ofwhat to do, what to lookfor and where to go.”
S t i l l , w h a t h a schanged — and contin-ues to do so on an an-nual basis — is newdevelopment, whichin turn brings in extrastreets with more catchbasins. The vector con-trol team has to be ontop of the housingprojects, especially onBurke Mountain wherethe landscape is alteringfast, she said.
Currently, nuisancemosquitos are not inhigh numbers in theTri-Cities. And accord-ing to the BC Centre forDisease Control, of the90 people, 468 mosquitopools and 15 birds testedby the lab so far thisyear, no provincial re-sults have been positive.
In 2010, one person inthe interior tested posi-tive, and five birds. WNVwas recorded for the firsttime in B.C. in 2009.
Two mosquito speciesare capable of transmit-ting west nile virus inthis province: Culex pip-iens and Culex tarsalis.

Real estate developerOnni has been granted abylaw reprieve from thecity of Port Moody afterhitting a potentially di-sastrous roadblock tothe construction of itsThe Residences tower atSuter Brook Village.
In May, while doingpreliminary work on thebuilding’s undergroundparking area, workerscame upon a waywardMetro Vancouver sew-age main pipe thatveered outside of itsproper right of way, in-terfering with the towerplans.
A redesign of theparking lot was un-dertaken, but Onnihad to ask Port Moodycouncil last Tuesday toallow their lot to varyfrom the city’s off-streetparking bylaw whichmandates that lots con-tain no more than 20%small-car spaces andmust have a parking lotdrive aisle wider than6.7 m.
Onni’s request wasgranted, meaning 32%of The Residence’s un-derground parking willbe small car spaces,which amounts to 97spaces out of a total 304.The drive aisle will alsobe slightly more diffi-cult to navigate at a re-duced width of 6.6 m.
Council asked thatOnni inform all poten-tial buyers if the park-ing space allotted totheir suite is a small carspace.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGNotice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held on Monday, July 25, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, located at 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws.
The City Clerk’s Offi ce will compile a Speakers List for the Public Hearing items – please register by telephone at 604-927-3010. Everyone will be permitted to speak at the Public Hearing but those who have registered in advance will be given fi rst opportunity.
Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting to give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda.
The intent of Bylaw No. 4231, 2011 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 and its amending Bylaws to designate the properties at 2601 Spuraway Avenue, 1160 Lansdowne Drive and 1636 Regan Avenue as Temporary Use Permit Areas (TUPAs).
If the proposed text amendment is approved the applicants (Coquitlam Alliance Church, Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship and Calvary Baptist Church) would then apply for Temporary Use Permits (TUPs). These permits, if approved, would allow the continued operation of the Cold/Wet Weather Mat Program (CWWMP) at the aforementioned churches on a temporary, rotating basis for the upcoming winter seasons.
Please refer to the attached maps titled “2601 Spuraway Avenue”, “1160 Lansdowne Drive”, and “1636 Regan Avenue” for information on the location of the subject properties.
The intent of Bylaw No. 4212, 2011 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 and its amending Bylaws to rezone the subject property outlined in black on the map hereto and marked Schedule “A” to Bylaw No. 4212, 2011 from RS-1 One-Family Residential to RS-4 Compact One-Family Residential.
If approved, the application would facilitate the subdivision of the existing lot into two single-family lots.

VICTORIA – My summerroad trip to the B.C. Interiorbegan as soon as the Trans-Canada Highway reopenedat Chilliwack. The crew hadworked through the night toclear a mudslide studded withrocks the size of Smart cars, along with acouple of actual cars.
We headed up the historic canyon routefrom Hope to Yale to Cache Creek, the FraserRiver still surging a month after it shouldhave settled back. At Ashcroft, river raftersbravely bobbed on the brown torrent.
The Williams Lake Stampede went aheadbetween rain showers, bull riders benefit-ing from soft conditions while barrel racersstruggled.
We drove to Prince George and thenVanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C.,where the Nechako River looked ready toclimb out of its banks. As we arrived news
came that all this thundering water haddone its work, toppling a hydroelectric towerat Surrey, briefly closing the Trans-CanadaHighway again.
One family member was unable to comedown from Chetwynd for a visit. He was cutoff by a staggering 16 washouts of Highway97 north of Prince George in the Pine Pass,which winds through the Hart Range. Thisstretch of road has long been a contender forthe most extreme mountain conditions inB.C., but one night of torrential rain tore itup beyond anything seen in my lifetime.
This pass is the only road link from south-ern B.C. to the vast Northeast. The rainswould keep coming around Dawson Creekand Fort St. John, disrupting farms, naturalgas development, a coal mine and a windfarm with floods and washouts.
The transportation ministry and its con-tractors had a winding track open throughthe Pine Pass construction zone within days,an amazing effort to restore essential freighttraffic into the region that has emerged asB.C.’s main economic engine. But recon-
struction will likely take the rest of the sum-mer.
We were back in Victoria by the time theFraser River finally crested at the Missiongauge after six weeks of high water, its latestpeak since 1920.
During the trip, gasoline prices reached ahigh of $1.31, nudged up slightly by the latestincrease in the carbon tax as well as politi-cal turmoil overseas. This is B.C.’s largelysymbolic nod to the concern that extremeweather events are accelerating due to hugeconsumption of fossil fuels and emissions ofgreenhouse gases.
I’ve been careful not to make any sweep-ing statements about the evolving scienceof climate change. But the sheer power ofrecent weather events, and the scars leftby bark beetles and fires, are difficult toignore.
Australia has just taken bolder steps thanthose of B.C., imposing a carbon tax on thecountry’s 500 largest carbon emitters. Thegovernment proposes to collect the revenuesfor three years and invest them in renewable
energy, transition for coal and steel indus-tries and tax cuts for consumers who willhave industrial carbon taxes passed on tothem in the price of goods.
Then the Australian carbon tax is sup-posed to convert to an emissions trading sys-tem designed to push industry into a cleanerfuture.
B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industryas its critics sometimes claim. The tax isimposed on all fuels used in industry, buthasn’t been extended to industrial processemissions.
By far the largest greenhouse gas sourcein B.C. remains vehicles, at around 40 percent of the total.
• Another highlight of the trip was thevisible resurgence of the forest industry.May’s trade figures show B.C. lumber salesto China have surpassed the U.S. for the firsttime.Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and col-umnist for Black Press and [email protected] twitter.com/tomfletch-erbc

Cash for transitMore pain at the pump is imminent, as the re-
gional mayors’ council has decided the way tofinance TransLink’s long-awaited Evergreen
Line to Coquitlam is to ding motorists an extra twocents per litre when they fuel up.
This is on top B.C.’s carbon tax on gas, which justwent up on July 1 to 5.56 cents a litre. (It will riseagain to 6.67 cents per litre in 2012).
In fact, feeding government coffers now accountfor one-third of the cost of a litre of fuel, with MetroVancouver motorists paying the highest gas taxes inCanada.
No one welcomes user fees, but how to fund much-needed services, such as the Evergreen Line andother transit expansions?
Here’s one suggestion: ICBC.The profitable publicly owned auto insurer has
boasted healthy reserves over the years — topping $3billion in 2010 — and hefty annual profits continueto stack up, mainly from investments. (The moneycomes out of the optional insurance side of ICBC’sbusiness, where the corporation competes with pri-vate insurers).
In prior years, ICBC issued rebate cheques to driv-ers to help spread the wealth, but has so far resistedcalls from taxpayer groups and unions to lower insur-ance rates or boost ICBC workers’ wages.
Of course, that hasn’t stopped Victoria from raid-ing the kitty. In a controversial move last year, theB.C. Liberals funnelled $487 million from ICBC’s cashreserves into general revenue to help offset the provin-cial deficit. What’s more, budget documents filed lastspring showed the province intends to extract around$145 million annually from ICBC, starting this year.
That’s more than triple the $40 million in revenuethat is expected to come each year from the proposedtwo-cent gas tax hike for TransLink.
If ICBC’s successful track record is any indica-tion, and if ideology dictates that those who use theroads should pay for them, then what better way tofinance transportation projects than with surplusICBC shareholder dollars?

TRI-CITYCITYTRI-CITY LETTERSYYYYMurray Street is dangerous
Hoping for some good sense
The Editor,Looking for some free enter-
tainment this summer? Bring thewhole family to the street cross-ing at Murray Street across fromRocky Point Park, get comfy andenjoy the show!
A special treat is watching themoms with baby strollers wavingtheir arms frantically at trafficin a vain attempt to get them tostop. They’re standing right onthe road with obvious preciouscargo as the drivers whiz by bliss-fully unaware.
Then there are those poor sapstrying to get to work in the morn-ing. Who needs coffee to get theblood pumping when you canmaximize your adrenaline rush
by merely trying to cross a road?And let’s not forget to give
a special nod to last summers’spectacle when we witnessed amother, her son and their GreatDane bravely making it halfwayacross the street before the carbumper bounces off the boy’sknee. Nuts, just winged him —maybe next time.
Finally we have those dark, dis-mal mornings to offer up to you— definitely not for the faint ofheart. Time after time customersarrive at my business to drop offtheir dog, shaken and scared asthey recount their nerve-rackingtale of making it to the middle ofthe crosswalk just to be trappedwith both lanes of traffic racing
past, drivers only focussed on get-ting to work downtown on time.
Yes, I’ve marched up to cityhall twice last summer when Ifirst moved to Murray Street tobe told that they were aware ofthe problem and “had a commit-tee working on a solution.” I triedto offer a couple of low-cost so-lutions, such as the cost of in-stalling a flashing light but waspolitely told of reasons why myideas couldn’t work.
So here we all are with a frontrow seat to this great show everyday, wondering what will have tohappen before the city takes ef-fective action. Shudder. Kelly Morris, Ruth Olson,Paul Armstrong, Port Moody
The Editor,It’s extremely heartening
to read that a transportationconsultant will assess PortCoquitlam as a prime locationfor extending the EvergreenLine eastward. It made no sensenot to use Port Coquitlam as thelast station on Evergreen’s Linesince it already has a hub forbuses and trains off Kingsway.So it naturally makes the mostsense to put it where it canlater be expanded towards Pitt
Meadows and further east.Why this was even overlooked
in the original plan hasn’t made
logical sense right from the start.Wouldn’t you want to end the linewhere there already is a hub forother transportation options fortravelers?
Let’s hope someone with aclearer eye will see what has beenmissing from Translink’s plansso far. Here’s hoping good sensewill prevail and Port Coquitlam,which should have had that laststation, will finally be included.M. SchooffPort Coquitlam

Notice of Public Information Meeting: Proposed Rezoning Application to Develop a Warehouse Facility at 1971 Broadway St.
McNeice Enterprises Ltd. invites the public to attend an open house to discuss the proposal to rezone the property located at 1971 Broadway from Residential Single Family 3 (RS3) zone to Light Industrial (M3)
zone for the development of a new multi-tenant warehouse facility (‘subject property’ on map below).
The open house will enable the public to receive information about the proposed development and have an opportunity to ask questions and
provide comments.
The proposed two-storey light industrial building would contain 8 units, a total of 21,000 sq. feet of warehouse space and 10,000 sq. feet of of ce
space. The warehouse will be accessed off Broadway at the south-east corner and off Kingsway at the north-west corner.
Development Site Location Map:
Date: Tuesday, July 26, 2011Time: 6:30 – 8:30 pmLocation: #1 Fire Hall
(1725 Broadway Street, Port Coquitlam, BC)
For more information, please contact Shannon McNeice 604-525-0238 or [email protected] or the City of Port Coquitlam’s
One neighbour thought he heard some loud bangsaround the time of the shooting but assumed it wasthunder.
Another resident of the same building where theshooting happened said she has lived in the apart-ment for 35 years and it has always been a nice,quiet neighbourhood. She said her neighbours whowere victimized by the shooting are always politeto her and don’t seem to be the kind of people whowould be involved in incidents like this.
“They’re really very nice people,” she said. “Theyjust seem like a family to me.”
Although the Seaview neighbourhood on theborder with Coquitlam is typically quiet, Kolstad’sapartment is little more than a kilometre from thescene of a drive-by shooting at the intersectionof Clarke Road and Glenayre Drive that put twomen in hospital with multiple gunshot wounds inDecember.
In April of last year, there was another drive-byshooting at a home in north Port Coquitlam, but no-body was injured and no suspects were arrested.
Anyone with information on this latest in-cident is asked to contact the Port Moody PoliceDepartment at 604-461-3456 or call Crime Stoppersanonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Port Moody firefighters raised a record $18,000 atthis year’s annual pancake breakfast for charity.
An estimated 2,000 to 2,500 people attended theCanada Day weekend event at Port Moody city hallwhere about 40 staff firefighters and volunteer fire-fighters served up flapjacks for a good cause.
Money raised at the annual event goes to a va-riety of local charities including the Eagle RidgeHospital Foundation, Crossroads Hospice and theBC Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund.
The growing popularity of the event, volunteerwork of firefighters and cooperation from theweather, led to the event’s success said Port Moodydeputy fire chief Gord Parker.

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Organizers at theShare Food Bank arehoping a donation drivethis week will set a re-cord in the province andbring in enough stock tolast until the fall.
On Thursday (July 21)a 40-foot semitrailer willbe in the parking lot atCoquitlam Centre be-
tween 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.and Share is hoping tofill the container. Theevent, called the ShareFood Bank Fillup, isexpected to become anannual donation drive,at a time of year whenthe organization needsdonations.
“We are trying to set aprovincial record for themost amount of food col-lected in 12 hours,” saidHeather Stacey, a spokes-person for Share Familyand Community Services.“That would be enough
food to carry us until themiddle of October.”
While there is no cur-rent record for mostfood collected, Staceysaid this year the or-ganization will set abenchmark that it willhope to break in 2012.
For the 900 families
that use the food bankon a weekly basis, theevent can not comesoon enough. There iscurrently enough foodto last two weeks, as do-nations slow to a trickleduring the warmer sum-mer months.
With close to 50% of
the donations going tochildren under the ageof 18, Stacey said manyTri-City families rely onthe food bank to providethem with meals.

to contribute but some-times they are just notthinking about it.”

Blues, hip-hop & more at festival
By Jennifer GauthierTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tri-City residents got to experi-ence a music festival withoutleaving home this past weekend
during the 7th annual Blue MountainMusic Festival.
Despite rainy conditions, die-hardmusic fans flocked to the park to see per-formers such as the Big City Soul Band
and Mike Henry, who got the mostlybabyboomer crowd jumping to tunes byJames Brown and Ray Charles.
“The evening crowds, under the tents,people had a good time and danced upa storm,” said Don Layfield, Tri-CityNews’ advertising manager and festival’organizer.

JENNIFER GAUTHIERTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tots enjoyed facepainting, balloon art-istry, air brush tattoos,roving entertainerswhile their parents ex-perienced the festivalvibe with a range orartists covering Top 40,country and countryrock, as well as tradi-tional rock and roll andthe blues with Midlifeband headed by theTri-Cities’ own TonyProphet.
Although the weatherkept some folks away,others, like DarrellRobertson enjoyed hav-ing a festival in townthat appealed to all ages.
“There were activitiesfor kids and we weredrawn to come. It’s closeto home, a few blocks.”
Although fewer peo-ple attended the eventcompared to past years,Layfield said smallernumbers won’t affectnext year’s festival.
He said the City ofCoquitlam, which spon-sors the event, is com-mitted to the annualmusic festival and theFestival CoquitlamSociety which orga-nizes it doesn’t relyon the gate donations.However, the admissiondonations are used tooffset some of the costs,Layfield said.

Coquitlam teenssought to orga-nize fun events
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Last June, beforeclasses ended for thesummer, volunteers withthe Coquitlam YouthCouncil stood in highschool lobbies, handedout flyers and talked tostudents with the aim tobolster membership forthe 2010/’11 year.
T h e i r o u t r e a c hworked, with threedo zen more youngpeople joining thegroup that encouragesCoquitlam teens to getinvolved, take part inmonthly meetings andshow leadership to or-ganize activities outsideof school.
“We were real lypleased with the waythings turned out andthe number of peoplewho signed up to helpus,” reflected SashaMaleki, 17, a Grade12 IB student at PortMoody secondary whohas been with CYC forthree years.
The campaign alsohiked numbers forC YC ’s b i g g e s t a n -nual event. The thirdCoquitlam AmazingRace, held May 6 at
Town Centre Park andis modeled after thetelevision show, drew arecord 292 middle andsecondary students.
It wasn’t the onlyCYC-sponsored activity,though. During YouthWeek, May 1 to 7, CYCtook part in the Tri-CityREACH awards to hon-our outstanding younglocal volunteers; heldbarbecues and movienights; played snookerwith seniors at GlenPine Pavilion; and orga-nized youth centre pro-grams.
The co-ordination ofso many activities “reallytaught us how to worktogether as a team,” saidMaleki, who gave an an-
nual wrap-up at the city’srecreation committee lastmonth. “You have to learnto cope when you’re short-staffed and under pres-sure. That’s where yourleadership skills come in.”
Already, great thingsare planned for next sea-son: another member-ship drive is underway,more intergenerationalgames and swim nightsare on the books andthe Amazing Race willbe even more amazing,Maleki said.

Started in 2005, CYCis split into two zones:east and west, with theformer having the mostmembers. Supervisedby city recreation lead-ers Cindy Lathrop (east)and Chill Lee (west),the councils meet oncea month at Poirier andPinetree communitycentres to plan events,offer feedback to citystaff, talk about topicalissues and raise aware-ness of city-wide youthprograms.
“It’s an opportunityto make a differencein your community,”said Maleki, who isalso co-chair for thisyear’s School District43 Student Leadership
Council, plays for theCoquitlam Lions waterpolo team and is a swimcoach with the city.“It’s not like any smallevents in your school.We do things on a muchbigger scale, with highlevels of city involve-ment.”
Steven Meng, also 17and a Grade 12 IB stu-dent at PMSS, signedu p w i t h C YC l a s tyear “because I reallywanted to learn moreabout youth activismin our community andtry to get people in-volved to participate inevents.”
Meng knows the ef-fects of poor volunteer-ism. He lived in Torontoand China where, heclaims, “the bigger the
city, the less the partici-pation. They just don’tgive back.”
He is keen to share hisexpertise: Besides CYC,Meng is also on the BCYouth Parliament andholds the Port Moody-Coquitlam seat, andhe is a member of itssubsidiary, the LowerMainland East YouthParliament, where —for the last session — hewas the shadow cabinetminister for communi-cations.

Maria ContrerasRBC Royal BankProduct Manager,Savings Accounts
With all your other fi nancial responsibilities,
it can feel like an uphill battle to save up
for the things you dream about. The truth is,
it’s not. In fact, winning that battle simply
calls for the right plan – one built around
paying yourself without ever feeling the
pinch. You can do it.
Here’s how:
First, set a target.In other words, decide on
your goal. It could be a
new home entertainment
system. Maybe it’s a
family vacation or
romantic getaway. It could
even be a rainy day fund
to give you peace of mind.
Whatever target you set is
entirely up to you, because, after all,
this is about rewarding yourself and
those you care about.
Next, set a date for reaching your goal.Is it six months? A year? Once you’ve
fi gured out what you need to save for and for
how long, you’ll have a better idea
how much to save each week or month.
But what if saving, say, $25 a week for
the next year seems unrealistic?
Give your budget a good hard once-over.What you earn vs. what you spend over
a three-month period is a good place
to start. Include everything from rent or
mortgage payments to your daily coffee
fi x. Over time, you’ll see a few items you
can save on. For instance, one less latte
or takeout lunch could save you $5 a day.
That’s $25 each work week or $1,300 a
year – it adds up fast!
Finally, start paying
yourself first. Sure,
it helps to spend a
little less every day.
But, most importantly,
set up a separate,
dedicated savings
account with automatic
online transfers right
after you get your
paycheque – that way
you’ll always make sure to put aside
funds you need to help reach your goal,
right from the start.
After all, don’t you owe it to yourself?
Need more tips and advice to help you
reach your savings goal?
Visit rbc.com/timetosave
4 SIMPLE STEPS
1 Set your goal and a timeline
2 Look closely at how much you’re spending and where you can save
3 Open a dedicated savings account
4 Set up automatic online transfers to pay yourself first, right after payday
TM
Pinch yourself,not pennies.It’s not a dream. With an RBC High Interest eSavings®
account and an automated online transfer of $25 a week, you can save $1,300 a year.

Ouija board inspires bookBy Janis Warren
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
We are not of the physical world, but weWWknow your physical world better than youWWdo, for our vantage point is one that spansWWthe physical and spiritual.”
So starts A Book of Insight, written by the spiri-tual guides belonging to Coquitlam’s Tilde Cameronand Tina Fiorda of Burnaby — sisters who, over athree-month period, channelled 16 chapters about“wisdom from the other side” via a Ouija board.
They are the first to admit how bizarre the notionsounds but, after an hour-long interview with thepair, they’ll make a believer out of any skeptic.
Both women say their metaphysical experiencesstarted as children in Toronto: apparitions were notout of the ordinary for either.
When their family moved to Vancouver and intotheir grandparents’ home, which was shared withtheir uncle and aunt, Fiorda found a Ouija boardtucked away in a closet. At first, she and Cameronplayed with it, asking silly questions about boycrushes, for example, but, as they matured, theybegan to respect the planchette and board for whatit had to offer. They posed questions like, “Am I onthe right path in life?” and it responded.
Soon, their spiritual guides — or guardian an-gels — revealed themselves. Cameron had Melanielooking over her; Tina had two: Em and Demna. Allthree, they said, “are articulate and eloquent.”
One night in 2004, the guides led the sisters on ajourney and delivered a message via their sacredboard: You will write our book and Chapter Onewill be about meditation. They spelled out theirmessage — letter by letter — and the sisters real-ized the power of their words.
Still, Cameron and Fiorda put the book proj-ect aside, not thinking about their assignmentuntil July 2007, when they prompted their guidesagain “and they picked up just where they left off,”Cameron said. “We didn’t know what the book wasabout. They would say, ‘This is Chapter Two: BeliefSystems’ and away they went. This was how thebook was delivered.”
For a few hours a night, Cameron held theplanchette while the guides spelled out the wordsand Fiorda read them into a digital recorder. Later,when the sisters transcribed the chapter and readit back, “We would say, ‘Holy smokes! Where is thiscoming from? This is crazy!’” said Cameron, whoused to work as an audio specialist for ElectronicArts and now lectures with Fiorda.
A second book is now on its way, tentatively titledAwakening of Mankind, a work also channelled viatheir guides through the Ouija board and has thesame theme as their first book, which is similar toThe Secret, a recent popular self-help publicationabout learning to follow your intuition and receiv-ing unconditional love.
Fiorda, a costume designer for films, said she’sproud to tell people she has a book but, she said, she
sometimes covers her mouth when she reveals thesource of it.
“We’re not witches,” she said, laughing.“I still shake my head about it,” Cameron added.
“We are not authors. Neither one of us could havewritten this book. We joke about that all the time.”
However, the Ouija board “has given a lot ofcomfort to me,” Cameron reflected, staring at theirWilliam Fuld, Baltimore, MD, USA, edition. “Ithelps me make sense of my life and so many thingshave happened to us because of it.”
The book’s readers have also spoken positivelyabout its missive, telling the sisters it has changedtheir lives in a good way.

This summer, in aseries called BrightYoung Things, The Tri-City News will profileyoung people who planto use their artistic skillsafter graduation.
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
In January, Xin Yue“Shaelyn” Zhu had hereye on The Art Instituteof Chicago.
T h e 1 9 - y e a r - o l dCoquitlam resident wona place at the world-re-nowned school and waseager to fine-tune thefine arts she had honedin mainland China andat Gleneagle secondaryschool.
Then, something won-derful happened.
In February, shelearned the entry shehad submitted to theWearable Arts Awards,sponsored by the PortMoody Arts Centre, notonly took first place forbest use of material, italso received the mostcoveted prize: People’sChoice.
“That was my firstprofessional fashion ex-perience,” Zhu said.
Her success — andthe offer of $19,000 USa year for four years —prompted her to changeher post-secondary pathand pursue a BFA infashion design at thePratt Institute in NewYork, one of the world’smost competitive mar-kets for fashionistas. Atits School of Art andDesign, she’ll be able tomix her fashion studieswith courses in jewel-lery and print making,and photography — arare opportunity for abudding artist.
“Opportunity” is aword Zhu uses a lot inconversation, especiallysince she and her par-ents emigrated in 2008from Shenzhen, China.
There, Zhu said, shefelt trapped by the sti-fling education system.Although she was en-roled in a Beijing finearts school for a year be-fore moving to Canada,solidifying her foun-dation in drawing and
painting, “I didn’t wantto be one of those ordi-nary Chinese studentswho just went to schooland became an officeror businessman,” shesaid. “I wanted to havemore opportunities tolearn art.... Canada hasmore opportunities forstudents like me.”
At 17, in Grade 11 andwith little English, Zhurepositioned to makethe most of her talent.At Gleneagle, she ex-panded her portfolio,taking sculpting, pho-tography and mixedmedia, and applied forcontests.
Besides WearableA r t s, s h e e n t e re dEmerging Talent, ashowcase of artworkfrom senior students inSchool District 43, andwon a scholarship inMay from the UniversityWomen’s Club as thedistrict’s top female vi-sual arts student. Shealso clinched spots atthe five post-secondaryschools she applied to.
Next month, Zhuleaves for New York, acity she has never vis-ited. “It’s very excitingand very anxious at thesame time,” she said,noting she will reside on
the Brooklyn campus.In New York, “every-
thing is very fast. If youdon’t work hard, you’regoing to be lost.”
As for her career, Zhuhasn’t “quite decided yetbut I want to work forsome big fashion com-panies after I graduateand see if I have someopportunities to createmy own fashion line,”she said. “Hopefully, Iwill become a successfulfashion designer.”

Coquitlam Adanacs have made the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs every year since 1997. The way things are going, 2011 may be the end of that handsome run.
The sagging Adanacs got out-scored 4-2 in the final nine minutes Saturday and dropped a crucial 13-11 contest to the Maple Ridge Burrards at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.
The loss was the A’s seventh straight and dropped them to 4-10-0 in the basement of the seven-team loop, while the Burrards moved into the fourth and final playoff spot at 7-9-0.
The A’s are six points behind Ridge with four games remaining, starting tomorrow
(Thursday) versus the first-place Salmonbellies in New Westminster.
Adanacs general manager Les Wingrove believes one victory could alter his team’s fortunes and spur it on yet again to the post-season.
“I’ve been saying that for quite a few games now and but it just doesn’t seem to want to come,” Wingrove said. “It’s not like we’re playing badly. Lack of con-fidence has maybe set in a bit of late but I don’t think we can look at our team and say we just don’t have it this season.
“For some reason, we’re falling a couple goals short all the time.”
The Burrards led 4-3 after the first pe-
riod and held a 9-7 advan-tage after the second. The A’s Kevin Olson, with his game-high fourth goal, cut the margin to 9-8 six min-utes into the third and Daryl Veltman knotted the count 9-9 at the 10:31 mark.
But 28 ticks later, Peter Tellis scored what proved the first of three straight Ridge goals in a two-minute span from which the A’s failed to recover.
Dane Dobbie netted back-to-back goals to close the gap to 12-11 with more than four minutes remaining but Ridge’s Riley Loewen tallied with 2:13 to go to close out the scoring and seal the Burrards’ win.
After Olson’s four markers, Dobbie was
next on the A’s with three and also had fourassists. Veltman finished with a pair oftallies and dished out seven assists, whileCory Conway bagged a goal and six help-ers. Spencer Martin also struck net forCoquitlam.
Former PoCo Saints Jr. ‘A’ standout RandyDaly netted a natural hattrick in the firstperiod for the Burrards, who got three moregoals from the ex-Coquitlam Jr. AdanacLoewen and a steady 35-save showing fromgoalie Chris Siedel.
After New West, the A’s host the 5-7-2Nanaimo Timbermen on Saturday, 7 p.m., be-fore wrapping up the regular season with ahome-and-home series versus the third-placeLangley Thunder, including their finale July30 in Coquitlam.
A’s need late surge to secure playoff spot
Team made it back-to-back bronze medals at the 2011 Football Canada Cup.
Team BC –– featuring Terry Fox Ravens’ defensive lineman Tyrel Ratich, linebacker Jake Nylund and offensive lineman Mason Woods –– wrapped up tournament play Friday via a 14-1 victory over Team Ontario West in the fight for third spot at Alberta’s University of Lethbridge Community Sports Stadium.
B.C. managed a medal for the second straight year de-spite not fielding a team at the Football Canada Cup from 2001 to 2009.
“We’re really proud of the fact we were able to finish in
the top three,” said Team BC head coach Tom Kudaba, who serves a co-head varsity coach at Fox. “Our goal going in was always to compete for the gold medal as it always is but it’s a hard tournament.
“Our kids did an outstand-ing job buying into what we were trying to do on both sides of the ball and on special teams. The effort was outstand-ing. Their demeanor was great. They followed all the rules. I’m really happy for their accom-plishment even though we felt that if we had another week or two of preparation we could have given Quebec [in the semifinal] a better game, that’s for sure.”
Team BC did all of their damage offensively in the second quarter after falling behind 1-0 after the opening frame.
Q u a r t e r b a c k M i c h a e l Carney got Team BC on the scoreboard on a quarterback sneak before the left-coasters concluded the scoring in the quarter – and the game – in the dying seconds of the first half, with quarterback Jordan Deverill hooking up with run-ning back Mason Swift on a touchdown pass.
“The offence for the first half was solid –– scored two touchdowns –– but never re-ally got it going in the second half for various reasons,” said
Kudaba. “Generally speaking, we did just enough to win.”
Carney was named Team BC’s offensive player of the game while defensive lineman Jordan Kuziek was named Team BC’s top defensive player in the contest.
Team BC concluded the 2011 Football Canada Cup tourna-ment with a record of two wins and one loss.

Craig and Genereux are two of 45 play-ers from MCLA Div. 1 to receive this presti-gious award given to players who were se-lected to their conference’s first or second All-Conference team, while maintaining a minimum overall cumulative GPA for the last completed semester/quarter of 3.20 or better. Twenty-seven institutions from the ninety-seven teams that compete in the MCLA Div. 1 boasted scholar athletes, while SFU was one of only 10 schools with multiple recipients.
