Beach bums aren’t the only ones enjoying theprolonged sun and dry spell in Metro Vancouver;it’s been good for the local blueberry crop too.

Sid Kwantes, the owner of Gaskin Farms inCoquitlam, said his crop was ready to be pickeda few weeks early this season, and if the weatherholds, it will turn out to be better than last year.

“It looks like a good season. The blueberriesare nice, they’ve ripened up nice,” he told theTri-Cities NOW.

Normally, the farm would start picking theberries in August through to September, but theprocess began a few weeks early and will endearly too.

The 182-acre blueberry farm on Oliver Roadyields about 675,000 kilograms, or 1 millionpounds, of the berries a year, mostly for process-ing plants that send the product overseas.

Kwantes noted the blueberry haul would beless this year, adding the numbers can fluctuateyear-to-year.

While the man believed to be behind analleged assault of a local realtor remains atlarge, it appears police are hot on his trail.

Less than a week after releasing a detailedsketch of a man alleged to have assaultedthe female realtor in Port Coquitlam, localMounties have received a number of tips fromthe public.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung confirmed inves-tigators working the case have received tips,but wouldn’t divulge how many.

“We continue to want people to call in, andwe wish to receive as many tips as possible,”he told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“We’ll follow up with every single one ofthem until the person is identified.”

Coquitlam RCMP released the sketch of thesuspect last week.

The alleged incident took place on theafternoon of May 4, when the suspect showedup to an open house at a property on RowlandStreet. Police alleged the man assaulted thefemale realtor. She did not suffer any injur-ies and was able to convince the suspect toleave.

There have not been any reported incidentsagainst realtors since the May assault.

The alleged sexual assault has also prompt-ed the industry’s provincial association tooffer a reward to help find the suspect.

On Friday, the B.C. Real Estate Associationannounced it would provide a reward of$10,000 to any person who comes forwardwith information that leads directly to theapprehension and conviction of the personresponsible for the assault on the realtor.

The BCREA’s chief executive director,Robert Laing, said the association has a dutyto help its members when an incident like anassault occurs.

“The message has to go out there, we’regoing to be behind the realtors and protect

them any way we can,” he told the Tri-CitiesNOW.

Laing said incidents against realtors arerare, adding the association is developinga public safety program for realtors so theydon’t find themselves at risk.

The BCREA’sreward will beavailable untilJuly 18, 2014.

“If it helpsmotivate some-one to comeforward withi n f o r m a t i o nthat leads togetting thisperson off thestreet, we’ll behappy,” Laingsaid.

As for thesuspect, he is described as Asian, in his mid30s, with dark hair and eyes, and some bumpson his face. At the time of the incident, he waswearing a T-shirt, jeans and running shoes.

Anyone who might recognize the suspect isasked to call police at 604-945-1580.

The deadly summer in B.C waters hasclaimed one more life, this time at a Tri-Citiesbeach.

Police and paramedics were called to WhitePine Beach at Sasamat Lake in Port MoodySunday afternoon for a swimmer in distress.

Police said a 24-year-old man was broughtto shore by beachgoers, Metro Vancouver parkstaff and police.

On Monday, the BC Coroners Service con-firmed the man died in hospital later that dayof his injuries.

The victim’s name has not been released.The latest drowning brings the total across

the province this year to 44.The man, who police say was at the lake

with a couple of friends, was pulled from thewater and taken to shore, where emergencyresponders performed CPR.

Police said they were not sure how long theman had been in the water, but witnesses saidthe man was in the water for at least five to10 minutes.

A woman apparently saw the man strug-gling in the water, and alerted others on thebeach.

Some people dove into the water, but wereunable to reach him in time.

“They couldn’t get to him in time,” said onewoman. “When they got to where he was,they couldn’t find him. They found him five to10 minutes later.”

Exactly how the man ended up nearlydrowning in the lake is unclear, but PortMoody police noted the incident is still underinvestigation.

Last Thursday, a 21-year-old Port Coquitlamman drowned in Alouette Lake in Golden EarsProvincial Park.

Foul play is not suspected.Police and paramedics were called to the

park in northeast Maple Ridge at about 3:45p.m. that afternoon.

“All efforts by both citizens and the para-medics were unsuccessful in reviving the vic-

tim,” RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said.His name was being withheld pending noti-

fication of next of kin.Ironically, the deaths come just as National

Drowning Prevention Week gets underway.Wendy Schultencamper, education director

with the Life Saving Society-BC and Yukonbranch, suggested the biggest reason for thespike in drowning deaths is the combinationof warm weather mixed with leftover fromthe spring runoff.

She said people are out on the water earlierthis year than in most summers.

The Life Saving Society said there were 30reported drowning deaths in the province atthe same time last year and 56 by year’s end.

Though most drowning deaths are pre-ventable, Schultencamper said there is oftencomplacency around safety precautions when

people are in the water.“A lot of people know this stuff, but it’s that

idea that it’s ‘not going to happen to me,’” shetold the Tri-Cities NOW.

“No one expects to go out on the water andnot come back.”

The last four drowning deaths in the prov-ince involved young men in their 20s.

That’s not a surprise to officials with theLife Saving Society, who note 80 per cent ofdrowning victims are male.

“It’s not at all unusual to see young maleswithin that age group having a higher drown-ing rate just because of their risk-taking per-sonas,” Schultencamper said.

According to the BC Coroners Service, areview of drowning deaths over the past fiveyears shows that many victims are unfamiliarwith the waters involved and therefore don’t

see the risks or underestimate them.The risks can include such things as

unexpected currents, steep and sudden dropoffs, or unusually high water levels because ofheavy rains or late spring runoff.

The review also showed that 40 per cent ofdrowning victims were impaired by alcoholor drugs.

The BC Coroners Services has provided anumber of safety tips:

• Always wear a properly fitting personalflotation device (PFD) when engaged in boat-ing or tubing activities. If you are suddenlythrown into cold and/or rough water, it maybe impossible to find a PFD and put it on, evenif you had one in the boat with you. Children,non-swimmers and weak swimmers shouldalso wear a PFD when wading or playing inthe water at a river or lakeside.

• Be aware of the area where you areplanning your activities. Check the weatherforecast before heading out, and do a visualinspection of the area. Do not head blindlydown a river or stream without being aware ofthe water conditions further downstream.

• If you are hosting visitors from anotherprovince or country, ensure they are informedabout the conditions that prevail in the lake orriver you are visiting. Warn them about steepdrop-offs, rapids and any other hazards.

• Alcohol and water-related activities donot mix, any more than alcohol and drivingdo. Alcohol impairs your coordination andjudgment, and this substantially adds to therisk inherent in swimming or boating.

• Always supervise children anywhere nearwater. Pre-school aged children can drownin only a few centimetres of water, and thedrowning is often silent. Proper supervisionfor children of this age involves always hav-ing them within arm’s length of a responsibleadult.

• Never dive into unknown waters.Unexpectedly shallow water or hiddenobstacles underwater can easily prove fatal.

is a mix of little rain orextreme heat.

This summer’s weather hasprovided the perfect ingredi-ents for the blueberry recipe.

It’s been 25 days andcounting since the last dropof measurable rain throughmuch of the Lower Mainland,and that’s not expected tochange in the near future.

It’s a far cry from last year,especially in June, whenthere was far more rain thansun, and farmers like Kwanteswere wondering if the cropwould be a disaster.

June 2012 rainfall totalled76.8 mm — 40 per cent morethan average — while sun-shine was significantly downat 157 hours — 68 per centunder the average.

In the end, the sun didcome and the crop turnedout pretty well.

Though the weatherhas cooperated this year,Kwantes, who sits on theboard of directors for the BCBlueberry Council, explainedthe market for blueberrieshas gone the other way.

He noted blueberry pricesthis year have been down,adding the whole industry isstruggling.

In the case of Gaskin Farms,the operation has expandedit’s farm-gate sales to helpturn a profit.

“That’s the key to keepingus going,” Kwantes said, add-

ing the farm is seeing moreand more people coming toits doors to get their fill ofblueberries.

He’s urging people to buylocal produce and check

where their fruits and vege-tables are coming from whenthey’re at the grocery store.

“Just make sure it’s localB.C. produce you’re purchas-ing,” Kwantes said.

An off-duty Port Moodypolice officer on his way towork got a bit more than hebargained for after trying tocatch up with a suspecteddrunk driver.

According to a Port MoodyPolice Department pressrelease, the incident beganwhen an off-duty officer, onhis way to work Monday mor-ning at 5 a.m., noticed a pos-sible impaired driver.

The vehicle was randomlyslowing and accelerating andweaving into oncoming traf-fic along Lougheed Highwayin Coquitlam.

The vehicle eventual-ly stopped on the highway,while the driver and frontpassenger switched spots

before carrying on, accordingto police.

As the officer called in theincident to dispatch, the vehi-cle pulled into the parkinglot of the Pinetree VillageStarbucks.

Police said the driver gotout of the car and appearedto be leaving the area.

The officer then approa-ched the vehicle, identifyinghimself as a police officer,while a total of four passen-gers got out of the car.

When asked for identifi-cation, the driver allegedlypulled out a canister of bearspray and sprayed the officerin the face.

Three of the four occupantsfled on foot, while the officerarrested one at the scene.

By that time Coquitlam

Mounties had arrived.Using a police dog, two

of the suspects were loca-ted hiding in a vehicle a fewblocks away, while a thirdwas arrested a short distancefrom the scene.

The officer was treated forexposure to the spray.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl.Jamie Chung suggested theoff-duty cop did the rightthing by calling 911.

“Being an off-duty mem-ber, the dispatcher wouldknow him, and since we workvery closely with Port Moody,we were able to render assi-stance very quickly,” he said.

Coquitlam RCMP are inve-stigating the incident, butso far no charges have beenlaid.

More than 200 acres of undeveloped land in Anmore andPort Moody could soon be in the hands of developers.

Officials for Imperial Oil Ltd., the company that ownsthe huge parcel of land that includes the old Ioco Townsite,confirmed the company has received letters of interest fromproperty developers.

Christine Graves, a spokesperson for Imperial Oil, told theTri-Cities NOW developers are at the stage of doing their duediligence with regards to the property.

However, she wouldn’t confirm how many developers wereinterested and where they are from.

Graves said a decision on the sale of the lands could be madein a couple of months.

“We put the package out there through a realtor and we

were hoping that qualified developers would be interested inthe property, and that has been the case,” she said.

Earlier this spring, real estate company Cushman &Wakefield released an information package regarding the saleof the lands.

Prospective developers had until June 12 to submit a formalletter of intent.

According to the package, the entire property is 232 acresof undeveloped land, including 150 acres in the Village ofAnmore and another 82 acres in Port Moody.

The prospectus also noted the lands have been fully remedi-ated to residential standards, adding the lands have neverbeen used for industrial purposes.

The package put out by the real estate company suggestedthe property has “exceptional development potential.”

“The eventual master planned community will combine thebest of urban and rural living,” the document reads.

“Enhanced by the historic Ioco Townsite, the community hasthe potential to offer public waterfront access to Burrard Inlet.

The site’s south facing topography provides waterfront viewsin a spectacular rural setting, offering access to nearby parksand lakes.

“TheproposedDavidAvenueextensionwillprovideimprovedvehicular access to the site, while the future Evergreen RapidTransit Line, approximately eight minutes away, will providedirect access to downtown Vancouver.”

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay, however, appeared skepticalthat the oil company was ser-ious about selling the land.

He suggested the currentzoning for the portion of landin Port Moody is “virtuallyundevelopable.”

The Ioco Townsite has beenidentified for protection forheritage conservation purpos-es.

The land outside the IocoTownsite is currently zoneddevelopment acreage reserve,which permits single-familylots, with a minimum lot size oftwo acres.

The zoning in Anmore per-mits single-family developmenton a minimum one-acre lot.

Clay said the city agreed it would consider any zoning appli-cations in due course, like for any other property, but there areno plans to initiate the process.

“When somebody brings something we’ll have to have aconversation with them and see how it fits our plan and takeit from there,” he said, adding there are many variables thedeveloper would have to figure out.

“There’s so much we don’t know about it right now.”Imperial Oil officials indicated the public would be notified

when the sale of the lands was complete.twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

12 reported thefts fromvehicles in 16-hour spanJeremy [email protected]

It’s no secret vehicle theftsacross B.C. have been trend-ing down for a number ofyears.

While the stat may becomforting to motorists,that doesn’t mean crooksaren’t intent on breaking intovehicles and stealing what’sleft inside.

A good case in point isa recent trend noticed byCoquitlam Mounties alongthe North Road and LougheedHighway corridor.

The detachment typicallydeals with about 20 to 30reported thefts from vehiclesin the area annually, but inthe first six months of 2013,there have already been morethan 40 incidents.

The spike in thefts broughtthe RCMP and a group ofcommunity police station vol-unteers out Thursday to thearea for a crime preventionblitz.

The group was poundingthe pavement and parkinglots of the businesses andapartments in the commun-ity, putting crime preventionnotices on vehicles. The noti-ces tell motorists they’ve donea good job keeping their carsecure, or offer suggestions tomake improvements.

“We want to remind people

that leaving their valuables intheir cars, regardless whetherit’s Christmas or the middle ofthe summer, is still not a goodidea,” RCMP Const. DavidBooiman told the Tri-CitiesNOW. “It’s never a good feel-ing when somebody breaksinto your car and takes yourvaluables.”

And there are several pos-sible reasons why the area isa popular target for thieves,according to police.

Booiman explained thedesign of the area and thelack of proper lighting insome spots make it easy forcriminals to hide and getaway. Other reasons include

the close proximity to aSkyTrain station — whichcan bring increased crime— and the transient natureof the neighbourhood, beingso close to Burnaby and NewWestminster.

Kathleen Nadalin, a roadsafety coordinator with ICBC,said blitzes and preventionnotices like the ones hand-ed out Thursday can makea measurable difference inthe number of reported inci-dents.

She noted the number ofreported stolen vehicles inthe province is down signifi-cantly over the last 10 years,but thefts from vehicles con-

tinue to be an issue.“People are still leav-

ing stuff in their vehicles,”Nadalin said.

Interestingly, the insurancecorporation paid out $26 mil-lion in stolen vehicle claimsin 2012, compared to $98million in 2003.

The average theft-from-vehicle claim costs the Crowncorporation $1,000.

“If you take everything outof the vehicle, it doesn’t haveto happen,” Nadalin said.

It’s not just the west part ofCoquitlam dealing with theproblem.

There were 12 reportedtheft-from-vehicle incidentsin a 16-hour span betweenJuly 21 and July 22, mostly inthe Westwood Plateau area.

According to CoquitlamRCMP, eight of the vehicleswere not properly secured,which allowed thieves to gaineasy access and rummagethrough the inside. The otherfour vehicles had their win-dows broken.

Police noted a number ofitems were stolen, includinga GPS, brief case with walletand firearm licence inside,golf bag and clubs, video cam-era, purse and loose change.

Mounties are advising resi-dents not to leave anything intheir vehicles, and to lock alldoors and close all windows.

LISA KING/NOW

Coquitlam RCMP Const. David Booiman said the NorthRoad and Lougheed corridor is prone to theft fromvehicles partly because some areas lack lighting.

Do political scandals reallymatter when all is said anddone?

It’s a fair and relevantquestion to pose after the

surprise result of the May provincialelection. The B.C. Liberals, as scandal-plagued as any long-serving govern-ment, actually increased their majorityover the NDP.

For weeks preceding the electioncampaign, the NDP had raked the B.C.Liberal government over the coals for anumber of controversies and outrightscandals, the most notorious being theso-called “ethnic memo” affair that sawthe government caught red-handedusing public recourses to further thepolitical interests of the B.C. Liberalparty.

The ethnic memo sparked a crisis ofleadership within the party, as PremierChristy Clark had to beat back a grow-ing chorus of disenchantment in hercaucus. Her party looked spent as itentered the campaign, but then the NDPdid a strange thing: it decided not toeven mention the scandal a single timein the campaign.

But now, as the legislative sessionenters its final week, the NDP hasbecome obsessed by new wrinkles to theold scandal. It is determined to breathenew life into the controversy, eventhough the individuals most heavilyinvolved in the scandal have left govern-ment (the one exception is RichmondMLA John Yap, who lost his cabinet postbut was re-elected).

Given the scandal did not work tothe NDP’s benefit in trying to win theelection, one has to wonder what themotivation is now behind the decisionto make the scandal pretty well the solefocus of the NDP caucus.

It can be argued the NDP is simplydoing the job of the Opposition, which

is holding the government accountablefor its actions. And there’s certainlyno question the B.C. Liberals engagedin improper conduct (their own probereached that conclusion before the elec-tion) and as much information as pos-sible about that malfeasance should beaired in public.

But another theory has emerged insome media commentaries, and it has todo with NDP leader Adrian Dix’s future.

The theory is this: Dix is leading thelatest charge on the ethnic memo scan-dal in order to shore up his chances ofremaining the leader of his party.

Dix faces a critical vote at the party’sconvention in November, and he needsto re-establish his credibility with anunderstandably furious party member-ship upset about losing an election theywere convinced they were going to win.

He’s certainly earned some mediacoverage with this latest strategy,although not nearly as much as he gotback in the spring over the same issue.But the B.C. Liberals are definitely notreacting the same way as they did backthen, as Clark’s leadership problemshave completely evaporated and thecaucus’ gloom has been replaced witheuphoria over the prospect of at leastfour more years in power.

The other reality is that we are inmid-summer, and I suspect the publichas pretty well tuned out politicians ofall stripes and will remain tuned out

until after Labour Day.So, do political scandals really mat-

ter?In this case, the key question is, will

this latest turn on the ethnic memoscandal matter to the NDP memberswho will vote in November on whetherto hold a leadership contest?

Will they be impressed by Dix’s per-formance in the legislature? Or havethey also tuned him out, and no matterhow effective his criticism is of the B.C.Liberals in this matter, aren’t willing toforgive him for seemingly fumbling theball on the election’s goal line?

The NDP lost the election largelybecause it wasn’t trusted on economicissues, and the scandals that plaguedthe B.C. Liberals for years turned outnot to matter much with voters.

But for the sake of his leadership, Dixbetter hope that political scandals domatter, at least to those who hold thefuture of his leadership in their hands.

•••Any doubts the NDP remains closely

linked to organized labour have beendispelled by the make up of the panelthat will review the party’s election loss.Four of the five members are from thelabour movement, and perhaps moretellingly, they are from the public sectorunion side.

For a party that supposedly pridesitself on diversity, it’s odd it would selectsuch a narrowly defined group of peopleto analyze the most disastrous electionresult in its history.

Or perhaps it’s not so odd, and sim-ply reflects the fact that public sectorunions are the dominant force withinthe party.

Over the years, the Tri-Cities NOW has usedplenty of ink on stories quoting local policewarning drivers to lock their doors and taketheir valuables out of the car.

Yet, every few months, likely to the chagrinof attending officers, a crook decides to go on a shoppingspree in someone’s car.

Just this past week, Coquitlam Mounties reported adozen vehicle break-ins in less than a day in the WestwoodPlateau area. And all the usual items, like wallets and GPSsystems, were on the intended shopping list.

There isn’t anyone who can’t say that at some point intheir busy lives they forgot about their phone, wallet oreven the work laptop. Most of the time, you only realizeyour mistake when you get back to the car the next day— that laptop sitting patiently in the back seat.

It would be awfully hard to explain to the boss why theprototype for the cold fusion reactor your company hasbeen working on for years has disappeared.

You got lucky.Unfortunately for some, their luck runs out.But what seems more shocking, according to RCMP, is

that eight of the 12 vehicles involved in the recent rash ofbreak-ins were not properly secured.

An unlocked door or rolled-down window is beyond aninvitation to criminals to steal your stuff.

According to ICBC, the average theft-from-vehicle claimcost the Crown corporation $1,000.

Police often say if a thief comes across a vehicle securelylocked with no valuables in sight, they’ll likely move on.

So at the risk of sounding like a broken record, followthe advice from the cops, so newspaper columns aboutbreak-ins become a distant memory, like the crime itself.

PARKING FEES A BAD IDEARe: “Pay to park at Rocky Pt?”Holy Moly — what a great idea to start collecting

parking fees at Rocky Point Park. It would definitely keeppeople away from the park.

Better yet, the City of Port Moody could contract theparking administration out to parking enforcementcontractors like most regional hospitals do.

Of course, the very small revenue left for the city bya very few parking-fee payers could be well spent, i.e.covering the cost of fireworks for different celebrationswhere the money would be shot up in the air — for whatreason and why?

Again, I say holy moly to the members of the citycouncil.

GARBAGESHOULD BESTORED INSIDE

Isn’t it time for Port Moody torestrict garbage can storage to thegarage?

It is that time of year again andthe bears are out. If you thinkyour garbage in your locked canis a good enough way to keepthe bears away, think again. Thebears have incredible noses andcan smell food a long ways away.

As I watched on Sunday fromour deck, I watched a mother andher two cubs wander down thestreet to take a side trip to ourneighbour’s yard. One blow withher paw and the steel reinforcedlid gave in. Over with the can andinto the garbage. Who is to blamefor this?

I suggest that the City of PortMoody take responsibility to cre-ate a bylaw to have residents storetheir garbage in their garage, orcarport if they do not have a gar-age.

It’s stinky, you say. Really?There are ways around this. But adead mother bear and orphanedcubs are OK, all because we are“allowed to.” Because that is whatwill happen. The governmentwill pay to have someone come

out and “tranquillize the bear”for public appearance. I don’twant to cause you any alarm, butthis is not the case. Very few arerelocated. After they are tranquil-lized, moved out of your site, theykill them. The cubs, if lucky, getplaced with Critter Care WildlifeSociety. Good, you say, the bear isgone, we can put our garbage out.No, the next one will come andthe whole cycle starts over.

Townhouse complexes have a

rule that you must store your gar-bage in your garage and will fineyou. They are a lot smaller thanmost of the homes; we see thegarbage outside.

We, as a society, think we havea right, because we are “allowed”to, but isn’t it time we think aboutthe whole picture? Contact theCity of Port Moody and ask themto pass a bylaw. In the meantime,please keep your garbage storedin your garage. Every stored can

means a big difference.Susan Zanders

RETURN THEUPS PACKAGE

To the person who stole thepackage off my parents frontporch last week:

The UPS package you took, per-haps by accident, really containednothing of value to you.

It had my brother’s graduationphotos and certificate from hismaster’s studies.

We are incredibly proud of himfor his accomplishments. He lit-erally, literally went to hell andback to get his degree. He workedtwo jobs and many overnightshifts to pay his way throughschool on his own.

That piece of paper is worthnothing to you, but means every-thing to us. Our grandparents willbe heartbroken that they will notget to see his graduation photosbecause their frail health prevent-ed them from going in person.

Please return our package. Noquestions asked. You know wherewe live.

It’s no secret Port Coquitlam is home to Canadian PacificRailway’s third-largest transportation hub after Toronto andCalgary, but do residents actually know what to do if there’san emergency there?

That was the question posed by PoCo resident MichaelGriffin during a delegation Monday, during which he askedthe city to provide every resident with safety information.

It’s a timely question, considering the recent train disasterthat claimed 47 lives in Lac-Megantic, Que.

“When they blow the whistle, I’ve no damned idea whatthey’re doing,” Griffin said. The retired industrial chemistspent his career in England and Canada, working, he said, insimilar settings to that of the rail yard.

“My responsibilities were the safe, efficient and profitableoperation, including the safety of all plant visitors,” he said.“And they had to report to me to sign a release, but they’dalready been screened at the gate and given a pamphlet as towhat their requirements were for safety inside the plant.”

When it comes to the rail yard, which Griffin lives adjacentto, he said he doesn’t feel educated or safe.

“In the refining, a long blast meant there was big troubleand you better get ready,” he said. “I believe there is some sys-tem whereby you — if there is a problem, you have to listen into CKNW, if you can remember the station.”

He added that there are no warnings available from the city,and that identification is another pitfall, pointing to the colourand signing of tankers as an example.

“To the average citizen they wouldn’t know what the hell itis, other than flammable,” he said. “And it might be just a smalldiscreet little notice.”

In Europe, where Griffin worked, he said any tank trucksthat are flammable have a big red band around them, yellow ifthey’re toxic, and a combination of both if necessary.

Kevin Hrysak, media relations manager for CP Railway, told

the Tri-Cities NOW the company has a step-by-step process thatinvolves working closely with local emergency responders toensure any emergency receives prompt attention.

“CP has a widely recognized emergency response plan thatfocuses on the safety and security of community and employ-ees, environmental remediation, clean up and investigation,”he said.

“CP emergency response plans are designed around specif-ics of the locations where an incident may take place, like ourPort Coquitlam yard.”

If an emergency happens, information will be available toresidents from either CP Railway or local responders, Hrysaksaid.

“Safety of our operations, the communities in which wework, and our staff is paramount,” he said. “This is our com-pany’s first priority and this will never change.”

PoCo resident raises railway concernsNEWSN0W


The number of bear sightings in Port Coquitlam doubledfrom May to June, causing city staff to crack down on residentsnot properly handling their garbage.

Bylaw enforcement officers will be making sure garbage andfood scraps are secure and set out at a reasonable time on col-lection day, or residents may face a $150 fine.

Dan Scoones, manager of bylaw services for the city, said 98bear sightings were reported in June, up from 50 in May.

“While the same bears may be reported multiple times, theincrease in sightings indicates that bears are increasingly beingdrawn to areas frequented by humans — usually by unsecuredgarbage carts, unpicked or fallen fruit from trees, and cartsset out at the curb the night before collection day,” he said ina press release. “Bears will return again and again to knownsources of food.”

Of the 98 calls in June, 83 were sightings, 12 were bears eat-ing garbage and two were reported as aggressive.

Neighbourhoods with the most activity were north ofLougheed Highway and Nacht Avenue, as well as McPhersonDrive areas in the south.

The city is advising property owners to secure and lock upall potential food sources, including food scraps, beveragecontainers, barbecues and composts.

In addition, they are asking residents to: immediatelyremove fallen fruit and pick fruit when ripe; ensure bee hivesand bird feeders are inaccessible to wildlife; and ensure out-door refrigerators or freezers are locked or inaccessible towildlife.

Bear sightings should be reported to the ProvincialConservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-8277.

Watering restrictions now in effect in PoCoSam [email protected]

The City of Port Coquitlamis turning down the taps

this summer to regulate theamount of water used by resi-

dents and businesses on theirlawns.

“A healthy lawn only needsto be watered for one hour

per week — less if it rains,”a press release from the citystates. Sprinkling restrictionswill be in effect until Sept.30.

“Water use almost doublesduring the summer, whenseasonal rainfall is at its low-est,” the release states.

“Despite the wet spring,it’s important to reduce out-door water use throughoutthe summer to ensure suffi-cient supply to meet peak andemergency demands.”

For residents with even-numbered addresses, lawnsprinkling is allowed from4 to 9 a.m. on Mondays,Wednesdays and Saturdays.Odd-numbered addressesfollow the same times onTuesdays, Thursdays andSundays.

Businesses with even-num-bered addresses can sprinklelawns from 1 to 6 a.m. onMondays and Wednesdays.Those with odd-numberedaddresses can water onTuesdays and Thursdays,and non-residential propertyowners can water from 4 to 9a.m. on Fridays.

Exceptions include flowerand vegetable gardens,decorative planters, shrubsand trees; washing of carsor boats with spring-loadedshut-off nozzles; and loca-tions such as parks, nurs-eries, farms, commercial carwashes and golf courses.

New lawns require a permitto be exempt from the restric-tions. Details can be found atportcoquitlam.ca/sprinkling.


The School WalkabilityProgram might graduate tomiddle schools, but not untilat least 2015 when it finisheselementary school.

The program, which wasadopted by Coquitlam councilin 2010, provided $800,000 infunding for infrastructure andtraffic improvements around27 elementary schools.

The project is on track towrap up by 2015, and citystaff have asked council tocontinue funding it into mid-dle schools.

At a recent meeting, coun-cil voted unanimously toapprove staff’s recommenda-tions, and to have them findwhere and what improve-ments are needed at middleschools around the city.

Giant hogweed is just aspleasant and welcome in theTri-Cities as the name sounds:not at all.

For years this invasive planthas been the bane of localplant life. Not only that, butthis sucker doesn’t play nicewith people, either.

Its sap could have been theinspiration for the aliens inAlien, burning any humanskin it comes into contactwith (not as dramatically orintensely as in the films, butyou get the idea).

While the name is nasty,the appearance of giant hog-weed can be deceiving. Itstands between 10 and 15feet (three and 4.5 metres)tall and has a three-foot (one-metre) wide drape of whiteflowers comparable to a flor-ally decorated umbrella.

But it doesn’t stop. It grows.And grows. It’s dangerousand it loves to spread.

“It’s phototoxic, so you getthe sap on you, then that partof your skin that’s got the sapon it, light hits and that acti-vates the toxin and you getburned,” said Larry Englund,urban forestry manager withthe City of Coquitlam.

Fortunately, areas in theTri-Cities have been fight-ing this invasive plant off foryears, taking both precaution-ary and active measures.

Coquitlam has had a nox-ious weed bylaw in place since2010, specifically targetinggiant hogweed and banningit from private property.

In 2011, the city startedtracking and removing it.

“Relative to some othermunicipalities it certainlyhasn’t gotten out of control,because we’ve been manag-ing it,” Englund said.

Port Moody and PoCo alsolist giant hogweed on theirwebsites as one of the mostdangerous plants in the area.

“Giant hogweed is an inva-sive plant and it can pose a ser-ious threat to human healthand natural ecosystems,” theCity of Port Coquitlam stateson its website.

The first plant on PortMoody’s list of invasive spe-cies to look out for is noneother than giant hogweed.The list states that scars fromblisters from this plant canlast up to six years.

The province also report-ed a major giant hogweedproblem in Metro Vancouveron July 8, with the InvasiveSpecies Council of MetroVancouver anticipating treat-ing eight hectares worth ofthe toxic plant this summer,twice the amount as lastyear.

“It doesn’t take much for itto get out of control,” Englundsaid. “Just one plant can haveupward of 50,000 seeds.”

Any giant hogweed plant,especially near water, can be

transported down a streamand start to sprout giant hog-weed colonies very quickly,

Englund said.To help the Tri-Cities keep

on top of this plant, sightings

can be reported either onlineor by phone.

OnePasswouldhelprec centre patronsSam [email protected]

Mayor Richard Stewart is feeling optimisticabout the proposed “One Pass” option for rec-reation facilities in Coquitlam.

Currently, fees and charges are set individ-ually as recreation facilities open and operatethroughout the city, but in an attempt to grantuniversal access to all those facilities city staffhave suggested creating “OnePass.”

“Under the ‘One Pass’ struc-ture, a customer will haveunlimited access to aquaticfacilities and fitness centresduring public times, as well asthe choice of over 100 monthlydrop-in programs, includingfitness classes, drop-in skatetime, drop-in fitness centre useand drop-in gymnasium pro-grams,” a July 4 report states.

Stewart told the Tri-CitiesNOW he believes the “OnePass” option is viable, and heencourages any initiative that gets people,particularly children, out and active.

“I want to have an alternative to videogames after school,” he said.

The pass will be brought up for discus-sion during budget time, which starts aroundOctober. Other cities, such as Burnaby, alreadyhave similar options in place.

City looks into memorial forRiverview Cemetery

Coquitlam city council has asked staff to

look at organizing a memorial service for resi-dents buried in Riverview Cemetery, on theold Riverview Hospital lands.

Following a report from Port Moody resi-dent David Spence to the Riverview LandsAdvisory Committee on June 25, the grouphas asked council to “recognize the religiousand spiritual significance of the RiverviewHospital and grounds,” according to the

report.Coun. Mae Reid supported

having the committee researchand speak with family membersof those buried in RiverviewCemetery before moving aheadwith a memorial.

“I think that’s wise becausesome years ago we had decidedto do something of the same,and some of the families ofthose that were buried thereobjected,” she said.

Staff listed Nov. 17 as a pos-sible memorial date, but nodecisions have been made yet.

Townhouses approvedIt was a tight squeeze, but city council

finally approved a new five-unit townhousedevelopment in southwest Coquitlam, in a 4-3decision on July 15.

Development has been planned for the lot,located at 491 Laurentian St., since March2008, but due to neighbourhood complaintsand a change of owners over the years, thecity has been slow to re-issue a permit, leavingthe land vacant.

Pain strategies to please the kneesW O R K S H O P S F O R S E N I O R S

Westcoast Seniors

‘Tis the season to get outside and enjoythe sunshine with friends and family.But for the 10 per cent of Canadians thatthe Arthritis Society says are living withosteoarthritis (OA), enjoying the warmweather isn’t always easy. Activities such asbiking, golfing and gardening, for example,may be a challenge if they are sufferingwith chronic knee pain.

“The pain of knee OA can not only impactone’s lifestyle, it can also have negativeeffects on productivity at home and atwork, and on emotional health,” says Dr.Philip Baer, rheumatologist.“Working witha doctor to develop an individualizedtreatment plan can help patients withknee OA better manage their pain, so theycan reconnect with their lives.”

While there are a number of medicationsavailable to reduce the pain anddiscomfort associated with OA of theknee, it’s important to ensure that painis managed in the safest way possible.Following these tips can help:

Know the risksThere are risks associated with some painrelievers. Opioids, for example, may behighly addictive, while gastrointestinalbleeding has been reported with useof non-steroidal anti-inflammatorydrugs (NSAIDS), and high doses of

acetaminophen can lead to liver toxicity.There are other treatments, however, thatcan provide effective pain relief, are non-addictive and well-tolerated.

Don’t mixThe effect of some medications cansometimes be increased or decreasedwhen administered in combination withother medication, including prescriptionand over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, andeven food. A health-care professionalcan advise on any potential interactionsbetween medications.

Don’t overdo itAs specified by a health-care professional,when taking prescription and OTCmedications, including acetaminophen oribuprofen, do not exceed the maximumdaily recommended limit.

Read and follow the labelAlways follow the instructions for use ofany prescription and OTC medications. Itis also a good idea to address outstandingquestions or concerns with a health-careprofessional.

Talk to a doctorPeople with chronic pain should alwaysconsult their physician before beginning anew medication, whether it’s prescriptionor OTC. www.newscanada.com

Rescuegroupappealsfor help to save cats

The Vancouver OrphanKitten Rescue Association(VOKRA) is in desperateneed of donations, fostersand adopters, according to apress release issued Friday.

The no-kill animal rescueassociation, which serves theLower Mainland and FraserValley, including the Tri-Cities, said it took in 47 catsfrom two sites in June, on topof its usual intake.

“We were put in contactwith a farm where a growingpopulation of cats and kit-tens needed to be sorted out,”said VOKRA president KarenDuncan.

When VOKRA membersarrived on the scene, theyfound 27 kittens between fiveand six weeks old, many ofthem with eye infections orcolds.

“Twenty-seven tiny littletabby and white kittens whowere mostly ill,” said Duncan,adding the situation was“heartbreaking.”

The kittens were pickedup by VOKRA volunteersand kept overnight by theHuntingtonHeightsHaven cat shelter inAbbotsford. Theywere then splitbetween five differ-ent foster homes.

“By housing thekittens in fosterhomes we are ableto more effectivelydeal with illnesswithout allowing itto spread to healthycats,” said Duncan,adding that “it tooka lot of organizingand dedicated fos-ter homes to nurseall the cats andkittens back to fullhealth.”

It cost more than$3,000 to have the27 kittens spayed and neu-tered, and then approximate-ly $50 per month, includingfood and medical care totreat their eye infections andcolds.

Another rescue group,C.A.R.E.S, along withHuntington Heights Haven,partnered with VOKRA tohelp with the cost of spay-ing all of the female cats,and VOKRA is working withthe farm to arrange for anongoing plan to control its catpopulation.

“We are happy that we wereable to step in and help,” saidDuncan.

“Two cats can easily turninto 30 cats in less than ayear. We need people to real-ize that they must spay andneuter their pets.

“If it is a case of wild cats,we can easily humanely trapand get them into the vet,”she said, adding that, “rescue

is costly, but the alternativeis tragedy for these animals.Spays and neuters wouldhave cost far less when it wastwo cats rather than 27.”

After the Abbotsford farmincident, VOKRA received acall that required the rescueof 20 more cats and kittensfrom a family whose un-spayed and un-neutered catshad bred out of control.

“It always comesdown to a lackof spaying andneutering,” saidDuncan.

C o mp o u n d i n gthe situation is thefact that VOKRAlost its TNR (trap-n e u t e r- r e l e a s e )centre in Surreylast May, afterthat municipalityrelocated the citypound facilities thegroup had beenusing.

During the yearthe group hadaccess to the space,VOKRA volunteerswere able to use itto help more than

900 abandoned cats, accord-ing to the VOKRA website.

The centre acted as a keytransitional location for catsand kittens in the area, whowere recovering from illnessor spay/neutering beforebeing transferred to a fosterhome or released, if feral.

Without the centre, thegroup has run out of space totake on any more cats. Withthe two emergency rescuesback-to-back it is also in dan-ger of running out of money.

“Any donations, fosterhomes or families looking toadopt would be integral atthis point to ensuring thatVOKRA can continue theirongoing rescue efforts,” thepress release states.

VOKRA is devoted to thecare of cats and kittens of allages and health issues.

While it does not have acentral shelter facility, thegroup does have a network

of more than 250 fosterhomes for its cats and kittens.Knowledgeable foster andadoption teams keep trackof each cat and are able tohelp match them to potentialadopters.

“Since the cats and kittensare in caring foster homes,they become very social, eventhose rescued from severesituations outside,” Duncansaid.

“The fosters are also ableto monitor their personal-ities, and often know if theyare good with kids, dogs andother cats.”

Last year, VOKRA helpedmore than 1,800 cats and kit-tens.

What’s in yourmedical chart?

For a good part of

my childhood,

my mom would

take me to almost

monthly visits to

my pediatrician, who was

treating my rheumatoid

arthritis. She also accompan-

ied me for more blood tests

and x-rays than I have ever

ordered on a child.

Though I’m sure I thanked

my mother each time she

took me out, I wish I could

thank her again for all the

concern I must have caused

her.She would reassure me so I

wouldn’t have to worry.

Curious about the results

of all those tests, I requested

my records after graduating

and starting my own prac-

tice.Unfortunately, I learned

that the pediatrician’s office

had shredded my chart the

month before.

In B.C., doc-

tors are legally

required to

retain medical

records for a

minimum of

seven years

after thepatient is last

seen or after

the age of 19

(i.e. age 26)

whichever is

longer. This

will change on

June 1.The College of Physicians

and Surgeons of B.C. has

changed its requirements

to reflect changes to the

Limitations Act. After that

date, doctors must retain

medical records for a min-

imum of 16 years

from the date last

seen or the age of

majority.Adults some-

times think about

their medical rec-

ords as something

that will always

exist, just as some

young people

may assume

that what’s on

the Internet will

always be there.

But just as your

old Facebook and

blog posts will not remain

online for-

ever, your old

charts may be

destroyed if

sufficient time

passes.For those

who have

moved and

haven’t found

a new family

doctor, your

old records

may be gone

before you

have a chance

to transfer

them.Your medical records

belong to the physician or

the facility where you have

been treated. They include

consultants’ letters, surgical

reports, lab results and other

investigations in

addition to the

clinical notes of

the physician.

Those clinical

notes are general-

ly written with the

sometimes illegi-

ble shorthand and

abbreviations of

physicians. They

aren’t really writ-

ten to be read

by a layperson.

Rather, they are

meant to provide

a summary of

each patient-doctor encoun-

ter written such that another

physician could clearly

understand what was said

(the history), what was

found (on examination),

what was suspected (the dif-

ferential diagnosis) and what

was planned (the treatment,

the investigation and the fol-

low-up).If you walked into your

doctor’s office and asked

for your chart, it wouldn’t

immediately be handed

to you. Reviewing records

— particularly the clinical

notes — requires assistance

from someone with a medical

background. For example,

if you read “S.O.B.” in your

chart you might feel insulted,

though the doctor was simply

using the accepted abbrevia-

tion for shortness of breath.

Though you don’t own

your medical records, you

have a right to the informa-

tion contained within them.

You should be cautious when

signing off the right to share

your confidential informa-

tion with a third party.

When you — or someone

else such as a lawyer with

your written permission

— requests the copying or

transfer of your records, the

doctor’s office will charge a

fee that is generally reason-

able and proportionate to the

time required to review the

records and produce copies.

The main reason medical

records are destroyed beyond

the legal retention limit is the

amount of space required by

the traditional paper chart.

I’ve had some patients whose

charts filled three file folders.

The problem of space will

eventually be resolved with

the widespread adoption of

electronic medical records.

information should you have

Stifling team defence just called the bluff of theleague’s most prolific offence.

The Coquitlam Adanacs took a commanding 2-0lead over the Victoria Shamrocks last weekend, out-slugging the regular season’s highest-scoring club by

a combined count of 26-14.The Adanacs opened up Saturday with a 13-8 win, and fol-

lowed that up one day later with a 13-6 victory that puts themcomfortably in the driver’s seat in the best-of-five series.

Coquitlam can now end the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse Leagueseries at home on Saturday afternoon.

“We’ve got a plan in regards to that the fact their top threescorers are high-powered players,” said Adanacs coach NeilDoddridge. “I think we match up quite well against them.We’re in tune with a lot of things that they like to do.”

Sunday’s game in particular was a case study in suffocatingdefensive play, as the Adanacs limited Victoria’s time aroundthe net as the game progressed — the regular season champsconceded just three goals in the final two frames, while pour-ing in nine of their own.

“We stuck to our guns on the weekend,” said Coquitlam cap-tain Tyler Garrison. “We took over on defence and our offencestarted to click. It was absolutely what our gameplan was andexactly what we were looking to do.”

Though Victoria got on the board first in both games, thoseleads would be short-lived.

Game 2 saw Wesley Berg torch the Shamrocks for four goalsand two assists, while Reid Reinholdt also put up a six-pointnight (one goal, five assists). The rest of the damage camecourtesy of Chase McIntyre and Challen Rogers, who each tal-lied twice, while singles went to Steven Neufeld, Vincent Ricci,Cole Kryworuchka and Garrison.

Davide DiRuscio started Game 2, making 15 saves on 20shots, before giving way to Island native Peter Dubenski toclose things out. The Nanaimo product allowed just one goalon 24 shots.

“We had outstanding goaltending in Game 2. But honestly,we played our system and that was the difference,” Garrisonsaid.

Saturday’s Game 1 was Coquitlam’s first time on the floorin close to two weeks, and first meaningful game in more thana month.

Rust be damned, the defending six-time regular season

champs got key contributions from their key veterans: Berg(one goal, six assists) and Reinholdt (four goals and threeassists) each tallied seven points, while Ricci found the back ofthe net five times. Sam Goodman, Tyler Buchan and Neufeldrounded out the scoring with a goal apiece.

DiRuscio played the entire contest, making 24 saves on 32shots.

“We’re very fortunate in that our leadership group is quitestrong,” Doddridge said. “They have been to Minto Cupsbefore, so they know what it takes to get to that point. It’s notlike they’re learning on the run.”

Coquitlam can close out the series Saturday. Game time is 3p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre. If necessary, Game 4 will beplayed in Victoria on Sunday.

Jr Adanacs poised to advance

Coquitlam’s Chase McIntyre, seen here evading a pair of Victoria players earlier this year, potted six points (two goalsand four assists) in the Adanacs’ series opening wins over the Shamrocks last weekend.

Coquitlamcontrols its ownWLAdestinyThere isn’t a more straight-forward directive in the sporting

lexicon — win and you’re in.That’s the scenario facing the Coquitlam sr. Adanacs, as the

club prepares for its final two Western Lacrosse Associationregular season games this week against New West andBurnaby.

The Adanacs currently sit with the fourth and final playoffspot: one point up on Maple Ridge and two points ahead ofNew West. If the Adanacs win out, they could find themselvesin third place once the dust settles.

The work begins in earnest Thursday, when Coquitlam trav-

els to Queen’s Park to take on the Salmonbellies. They thenclose out the year at home Saturday against the Lakers.

“We’ve got to keep our energy levels way up,” said Adanacscoach Bob Salt. “The ’Bellies are a good team anyway, but theyare fabulous in Queen’s Park. We have to match their energylevel and that’s the key.”

Coquitlam is in the midst of a three-game winning streak,and is coming off a pair of gutsy victories last weekend overtwo teams nipping at their heels for the final playoff position.

On Sunday, the A’s scored seven unanswered goals in thethird period to best Maple Ridge 12-9 in a game that saw both

Matthew Dinsdale and Brett Hickey record hat tricks.Daryl Veltman was the man of the hour one day earlier, as

the veteran Coquitlam sniper potted four goals — includingthe 9-8 game winner over Nanaimo with less than four min-utes to play.

“We seemed to really come together in both games. We com-peted like crazy and played right to the end,” Salt said. “We gotsome very good goaltending from [Adam] Shute, which reallyhelped us. We need that type of goalkeeping.”

Saturday’s regular season finale goes at 7 p.m. at the PoirierSports Centre.

More specifically, it’s proposing to cut 142 pos-

itions within the district.A further breakdown of the numbers has the

district cutting 81 teachers, 19 teacher assist-ants/special education assistants/youth workersalong with 32 clerical/custodial/IT and facilitiespositions and 10 from administration.

The staffing cuts add up to $11.5 million insavings.

Some of the positions being cut will be offsetby attrition, with as many as 30 staff in variouspositions already putting in their retirementpapers for the end of the year.
