Off-shore $affects PoCo real estate, says West

REAL ESTATE

Home ownership is getting out of reach: councillorJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

A Port Coquitlam city councillor says he’s willing to put his reputation on the line to voice his concerns about the amount of foreign money coming into the community to purchase homes.

Coun. Brad West raised the topic of housing affordability at his last meeting of PoCo’s smart growth committee, which has asked city staff to

delve further into the matter.A report on the prevalence

of non-resident home own-ership and what measures are available to the munici-pality to curb it is expected to be brought forward later this month.

West told The Tri-City News he attended an open house in PoCo last week where a 2,400 sq. ft. home was listed for $1.1 million. He said the realtor told him “in no uncertain terms” that it would sell within the week and at a much higher price due to demand from over-seas buyers.

After years of saving wild animals and educating humans, the bear man retires

WILDLIFE IN THE TRI-CITIES

Drake Stephens honoured for commitmentDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

Some might call him a bear whisperer for his passion for saving bruins

found foraging in Coquitlam yards.

Others facing $500 fines for leaving their garbage out at night might have less kind things to say about Drake Stephens.

But there is no question Stephens leaves his job as Coquitlam’s urban wildlife co-ordinator with stories to tell and a legacy of educating humans, and treating animals humanely.

And it all started quite or-ganically.

Before there was a city po-sition dedicated to dealing with people’s interaction with wild animals, Stephens was handing out his own letters to people whose messy garbage was attracting bears.

Now, as he leaves behind the post he has held — offi-cially — for four years, and six additional years as the city’s bear aware co-ordinator, the soft-spoken but determined northeast Coquitlam resident said he hopes the city will con-tinue its program of educating people to secure their garbage and animal attractants so the city doesn’t become a killing ground for wildlife.

“More education, espe-cially on Burke Mountain, is needed, and multi-language education,” said Stephens, who prides himself on having given hundreds of workshops on bear safety to schools and English language classes in Coquitlam over the years.

Staring out the picture win-dow of his Burke Mountain home onto lush forest, it’s easy to see why he is so committed to saving the lives of local bears and other animals. He has lived in the area most of his life and is comfortable with seeing creatures on his doorstep.

Recently, he spotted an early riser, a young black bear eating grass in his backyard, and ad-mits he’s still excited to see one of nature’s most magnificent animals relaxed and gorging on natural food.

“It was pretty thrilling to

see the first one of the year,” Stephens said.

ANIMAL MANStephens’ experience goes

beyond simply educating people, staking out neighbour-hoods where garbage scofflaws disobey bylaws and handing out warnings and fines (about 600 warnings last year but just three fines).

He’s also the right-hand man of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, which awarded him a special plaque for his dedication.

“I’ve been in the area for years,” said conservation of-ficer Cody Ambrose. “The one constant factor has been Drake Stephens and his wealth of knowledge when it comes to wildlife. His knowledge of the area and his contacts have been a benefit to the Conservation Officer Service, the wildlife and the community.”

The veteran officer said Stephens was the point man on educating the community and getting help from the city, such as when a fire department ladder truck was needed to get a bear out of a tree.

“We often work alone in the field and we need help,” Ambrose told The Tri-City News. “If we’d call, he’d come on his own off time, and we took his advice. He’s been around bears such a long time and he’s got a

lot of understanding.”And there have been many

calls over the years. Over four weeks last November and December, for example, Stephens worked with COs to save the lives of five bear cubs that had been abandoned by their sows.

There were dozens of aban-doned cubs across southern B.C. this winter and Stephens speculates that the summer’s drought reduced the food sup-ply and so cubs were left on their own. Without interven-tion, they would have starved to death.

“It was nature making a cor-rection, saying there wasn’t enough food.”

THE WALMART BEARRescuing the Walmart bear

cub was one recent incident.The cub had been feeding

out of a garbage compactor but ended up in a tree in the woods behind a Dominion Triangle housing development in Port Coquitlam.

Stephens got a call from Critter Care. It was his day off and outside of Coquitlam but he went to see what could be done.

He and Ambrose had to climb a fence and walk through a swamp in borrowed rubber boots to rescue the critter.

“Cody darted the bear and I carried it back to the truck.”

It was the 32nd B.C. bear taken to Critter Care this win-ter, the fourth Tri-Cities cub — and another happy ending for Stephens.

When he started his job a decade ago, bears were rou-tinely shot if they ventured into neighbourhoods.

Now, killing them is a last resort because authorities understand that bears won’t stick around if there’s no food for them to eat or they can be chased out because normally, they’re afraid of people.

BIG BOB THE BEARThen there’s Big Bob, the

bear with the big belly that ate too many apples and wouldn’t

leave a PoCo neighbourhood.Big Bob was too full to move

and insisted on sleeping rather than leaving the area and at-tracted a lot of attention.

The decision was made to leave the bear alone to sleep it off and eventually it wandered away.

“I heard the RCMP say no one was to discharge a fire-arm,” recalled Stephens. “Ten years ago, he would have been a dead bear just for being near a school.”

On average, seven bears are killed each year but last year, only two were shot, a figure Stephens accepts with pride.

But with much of Coquitlam on the edge of green belts,

there will be no end to the calls about wildlife just because his career with the city is ending.

Stephens has answered calls about rats, mice, skunks with their heads stuck in jars, nesting raccoons and hungry coyotes.

Once, someone even called in about a moth infestation. “I thought, really?”

Then there are the marmots that hitch a ride on trucks from B.C.’s Interior, causing consternation for a Coquitlam property owner.

“Someone didn’t know what they had,” Stephens said, recalling the resident saying, “I have this giant guinea pig on steroids in my yard and he’s eating my garden.”

Rarely has Stephens come across someone who won’t clean up their act once they know the reason for doing so, and he has volunteered to put the green waste bin out for an elderly lady who lives on his street who would otherwise have been hit with a $500 fine.

But it’s everyone’s respon-sibility to live in peace with wildlife, Stephens says, and ev-eryone should keep their yards free of garbage and attractants.

Stephens hopes at least in Coquitlam he’s shown that liv-ing with wildlife can be done in a humane and thoughtful way.

LOCK UP yOUr TrAsHBear sightings continued over the winter this year in the

Tri-Cities and B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service is warning people to keep their garbage and green waste locked up.

“They will be in and out of torpor [hibernation] before they come right out, that’s why we’re asking people to be vigilant to make sure we don’t have attractants,” Sgt. Todd Hunter told The Tri-City News.

Industrial waste bins and green waste carts can attract bears looking for food.

The most recent statistics show 236 wildlife sightings since November, most of them for bears, and up from 175 the same period last winter. Many of the calls coming in may be for a single bear, however, and one bear appears to be fre-quenting the area between Gates Park and Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam.

The cub was given to Critter Care because it wouldn’t have survived the winter on its own. Right: A baby fawn is reunited with its mother. It spent 18 hours sleeping on the front steps of a home at Lansdowne and Glen drives in Coquitlam, and was nearly given to Critter Care, but the doe showed up at the last minute. Centre: Stephens was often a spokesperson on bear issues and his mantra was always the same: Keep garbage and other attractants away from bears and they won’t stay around — a fed bear is all too often a dead bear.

10 years for 2008 killing of PoCo man

Pre-trial death investigated

CRIME

An Ottawa man has been sentenced nearly 10 years after a Port Coquitlam man was found near death in a Pitt Meadows ditch.

Maly Morn was at B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster last week, where he was sentenced to eight years in prison for the death of 28-year-old Justin Aaron Yusko.

On the evening of Jan. 29,

2008, Yusko waved down a passing motorist as he lay in a ditch on the side of Ford Road, near Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. He had been stabbed and later died in hospital.

It would be another six years before a suspect was ar-rested in Yusko’s murder. In December 2013, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced that Morn, be-lieved to be a drug trade as-

sociate of Yusko’s, was arrested when he returned from Ottawa to the Lower Mainland.

Morn, 34, was initially charged with kidnapping and first-degree murder but pleaded guilty to manslaugh-ter. He received credit for time spent in pre-trial custody and will serve another four years and eight months.

[email protected]@spayneTC

The BC Coroners Service is investigating the death of a man who was in custody at the North Fraser Pre-trial facility in Port Coquitlam.

William Ryan Fisher, 30, was scheduled to be transferred to the Pacific Institution in Abbotsford to begin serving a three-year federal sentence for his role in the 2011 Stanley Cup riots.

Fisher and 24-year-old Russell Jean Milne received

the most severe punishments given to rioters after being found guilty of the aggravated assault of Christopher Leveille, dubbed the “Good Samaritan,” who was trying to protect a Budget Car Rental office from rioters. Leveille suffered a crushed lung and other serious injuries after he was punched, kicked and stomped in the at-tack.

Fisher was sentenced on Feb. 19 and was due to be

transferred on Feb. 22 but early that morning he went into “medical distress,” accord-ing to a BC Coroners Service release. He was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, where he died on Feb. 25.

The BC Coroners Service, federal and provincial correc-tions officials and the RCMP are investigating.

Google takes Best kids on VR field tripsEVOLVING EDUCATION

Pilot project uses Google’s 3D head-sets to help teachDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

Students at Dr. Charles Best secondary got to swim in a shark tank, visit the pyramids of Giza and Machu Picchu, and stand on the moon — without leaving the classroom.

Google brought its new virtual reality (VR) technology and pilot program Pioneer Expeditions to the Coquitlam school — the only pilot offered in Canada — giving students the chance to visit museums, wildlife preserves and national treasures without having to get on a plane or a bus.

“They’ve approached us from a purely education point of view,” said teacher Sean O’Reilly, who contacted Google for the opportunity. “It’s fantas-tic. They have pre-lessons, they have post-lessons and each one of the expeditions can integrate into the curriculum teachers are teaching. It used to be video but now you learn about it and you can go inside it.”

The class begins when students put on a pair of cardboard goggles — called Google Cardboard — with a smart phone inserted. An app splits the image in two — one

for each eye — while the card-board headgear has lenses that counter distortion, providing a stereoscopic 3D image.

Instantly, students said they felt immersed in a shark cage; their eyes soaked up a 360-de-gree view of the ocean and sharks while a teacher using the Expeditions app on a tablet di-rects them to new images, such as a collection of fish or rock formations.

In another “expedition” of space, the viewer gets the sensa-tion of standing at the edge of the universe, looking at the Milky Way and Earth. In other tours, some of the images are dizzy-ing, as well as beautiful. A tour of Machu Picchu, for example, brought students to the edge of a

cliff, and O’Reilly told students to take a break if they felt sick.

Most students seemed to be engaged and interested in the experience. “It’s a cool way to learn about new things. It’s neat that the image is surrounding you,” said Kadia Kindersley, a Grade 9 student.

Watching the students and teachers move their bodies and their heads to get the full experi-ence was like spying on a group of impressionistic dancers.

There are 200 expeditions to choose from, including museums and natural envi-ronments, made with the co-operation of institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History and the Palace of Versailles.

In addition to 360-degree panoramic views, the expedi-tions include video, ambient sounds and detailed explana-tions of the sights‚ much like you would find in a bricks-and-mortar museum.

Stephen Whiffin, School District 43’s director of instruc-tion for technology, who also tried the Google Cardboard, said he sees a bright future for virtual reality in education, with students eventually learning how to develop their own 3D projects.

“It opens up a whole new world with students getting involved in the creation process without things they would need in the physical world,” Whiffin said, giving the example as a

VR model of a space craft that could be tested using a variety of materials and conditions. “You could see if it flies in vir-tual space.”

There ere are costs involved, although the pilot is free. Google Cardboard is relatively inexpensive and can be made according to Google’s specifica-tions, but the app needs smart-phones to work, which could be costly unless students bring their own from home, which many do.

Still, there are possibilities, according to O’Reilly, who is developing a virtual reality game at home using 3D anima-tion and modelling software. He would like to purchase a few of the Expedition sets and sees

a lot of potential, especially in career education, where stu-dents can experience different professions.

“I think the technology is fantastic but always the strength lies in the content,” he said. “When the content gets inte-grated into the curriculum, that’s what makes it innovative with regards to education.”

Next week, Dr. Charles Best teachers will be meeting to dis-cuss how the technology can be used in their own programs.

And while it may be a while before students attend VR schools, this week’s experiment hints at the possibility for the future.

Six Tri-City residents are being honoured today (Friday) with Governor General awards at a ceremony in Vancouver.

They are among more than 150 Canadians who will be recognized for their “excel-lence, courage or exceptional dedication to service” with one of the following hon-ours: the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award, an Exemplary Service Medal, a Decoration for Bravery or a Meritorious Service Decoration.

Four law enforcement of-ficers are receiving Exemplary Service Medals, which are given for long and commend-able service, particularly in areas involving potential risk.

Vancouver Police Department Staff Sgt. Mark Horsely, a Port Coquitlam resi-dent, will receive the first Bar to the Police Exemplary Service Medal in recognition of his 30 years of service to public safety while Peace Officer Exemplary Service Medals will be given to three deputy sheriffs with the B.C. Sheriff Service, all for 20 years of service: Sgt. Blair Boyd and Gordon Oremek, both of Port Coquitlam, and Sgt. Ken Fisher of Coquitlam.

Coquitlam resident Léon LeBrun will be honoured with a Governor General’s Caring

Canadian Award, which recog-nizes those who have made a significant, sustained, unpaid contribution to their com-munity.

LeBrun has volunteered with the Trans Canada Trail and Trails BC for 20 years. In that time, he has been the driv-ing force behind the develop-ment of non-motorized trails in B.C., including projects such as the Chilliwack River Valley Trails and the Great Blue Heron Way. More lo-cally, LeBrun is also known for his work in establishing the Festival du Bois, which celebrates its 27th event this weekend.

The ceremonies, at 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., will be live streamed at www.gg.ca/live.

The City of Coquitlam is exploring ways to help fund the capital cost of

major new parks, recreation and cultural facilities needed in Coquitlam to

keep pace with population growth.

To do this the City is considering the expansion of its current Community

Amenity Contribution (CAC) program to make it city-wide for all new

residential development that requires rezoning. The existing CAC program

currently only applies in the Burquitlam-Lougheed transit corridor, where it

is being used to help fund a new community centre.

For further information on the proposed expansion of the City’s CAC

program, please visit coquitlam.ca/cacprogram

Cities target plastic bags left at the curb

TAKING OUT THE TRASH

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City residents continue to toss their plastic bags into the garbage and green cans de-spite the region-wide ban.

And a few are on the verge of being fined.

The city of Coquitlam has issued more than 1,000 letters to single-family homeown-ers about dumping plastic in their green waste. Another 60 residents have been formally warned about their repeat vio-lations and that they face bylaw penalties of $500.

Steffanie Warriner, Coquitlam’s environmental services manager, said the city is stepping up its education drive so residents can tell the difference between plastic bags and compostable bags.

“Many people just don’t know what biodegradable is,” she said, “but, once we edu-cate them, they seem to get it.”

Crews working for the city contractor Progressive Waste Solutions (formerly BFI Canada) can spot plastic bags during the curbside collection. “Because the driver can see what is in the load, the city can take a real-time audit of what’s going in and from whom,” Warriner said.

That, in turn, can set off a city probe.

Organics, which are banned from being mixed in with trash, are deposited at the Harvest Power site in Richmond.

Plastic bags that are in-cluded in the loads can mean higher tipping fees “and that undermines the affordability of the program,” Warriner said, meaning municipal property tax bills may rise.

Last fall, the city of Port Coquitlam also issued a plea for residents and business to

sort their garbage correctly.On Thursday, PoCo opera-

tions manager Mani Deo said the city’s in-house trash crews are still tagging contaminated carts. “Plastic bags in green waste carts continues to be an issue,” he said.

So far, PoCo hasn’t been fined but Multi-Materials BC (MMBC) has put the city on notice and a contamination management plan is in the works.

FILE PHOTOThe cities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody are trying to get the word out to residents not to dispose of plastic bags in their green or trash cans but to recycle them.

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

It’s time to fix the PST for business, taxpayersGordon Campbell’s political miscalculation in

2009 to impose a harmonized sales tax on an un-suspecting public, shortly after an election where

promises to the contrary had been made, continues to haunt the province. Whatever one might think of the mis-calculation, the provincial sales tax is a seriously outdated tax that needs to be modernized, a task that today’s politi-cians are understandably wary of.

The B.C. public might have accepted the need to modernize taxes by moving from the PST to the HST if Campbell’s government had consulted properly and pro-posed a lower tax rate to go along with the change. But no politician in their right mind would risk reigniting public fury by suggesting that path now. With that in mind, last month’s budget announcement that the government will strike a tax competitiveness commission to consult with British Columbians and make recommendations — while making it very clear that HST is not option — strikes a reasonable and politically courageous compromise.

A tax competitiveness panel with a similar mandate, of which I was a member, made recommendations to the government in fall 2012. Although I strongly suspect the

main recommendation will be similar, it makes sense to consult again and get a current read on the situation.

One of the PST’s major flaws is that it is not just levied on final goods but on everything in between, meaning that consumers and businesses pay sales tax more than once on the same good. If you buy a chair, for example, the manufacturer pays PST on the wood, nails, uphol-stery and stuffing that go into making it. Some of these tax costs get passed on to consumers. Consumers then pay PST again when they buy the chair. Taxes get paid on the inputs and the final product, with businesses and con-sumers each absorbing some of those costs.

The PST creates a disincentive to business investment as it is paid on computers, machinery and equipment. This is particularly problematic as it is such investments that help businesses grow, which in turn allows them to create jobs, train employees and increase wages.

The tax competitiveness panel found that the return of the PST created a situation where B.C. businesses face the highest effective tax rate on new business investments of all the provinces. It recommended that the province remove the PST on these critical investments, as a good

place to start in its tax reform.The problems don’t stop there. Administering the PST

has become a nightmare for business and government alike. One of the more comical examples that a previous minister used to cite was that red raincoats were tax ex-empt while yellow ones weren’t. Another example, cloth and tailor services are tax-exempt unless combined to make tailored suits, in which case they are taxable.

At the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, we spend months helping businesses untangle quan-daries such as whether to charge PST on pet food con-taining medication because pet food is exempt but pet medication is not. If you have any remaining doubts that the rules are a complicated mess, pretend you run a small business and try reading the tax bulletin on Personal Tangible Property. I dare you.

Unfortunately, budget surpluses are too small for the province to fix the worst problems with the PST today. A tax commission to make recommendations that can be implemented quickly when surpluses are healthier still makes sense. It would benefit all British Columbians if province could put its sales tax ghosts to rest.

Laura Jones is executive vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Independent

OUR OPINION

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION?

ADRIAN RAESIDE

BUSINESS & TAXES

Sweet and fatThe Canadian Senate has woken up to the sad

fact that obesity is a problem and thousands are dying from complications related to having an

unhealthy weight.But what is the solution? Our modern lifestyles don’t

easily include exercise, and processed food and bever-ages are cheap and convenient. What’s more, the food and beverage processing industry in Canada is big, ac-counting for 2% of our gross domestic product. Canada also imports billions of dollars of processed food and our grocery stores are well-stocked with it.

It would be easy just to slap a tax on these foods, change the Canada Food Guide rules and stop advertis-ing junk food to children. But those are minor changes.

Instead, maybe there should be laws restricting sugar, fats and salt in highly processed foods children eat, such as breakfast cereal, crackers, juice and granola bars, along with more education about easy whole-food al-ternatives for parents.

These are foods that appear to be healthy but are part of the problem.

Mining is not as bad as diamond column says

THE ENVIRONMENT

The Editor,Re. “How costly is your

bling? And how ‘dirty’?” (Living Green, The Tri-City News, Feb. 26).

As a mineral exploration geologist, I find it difficult to respond to Melissa Chaun’s column. The opinions and conclusions in this column need to be refuted on so many levels that space and my com-ments are not sufficient.

Her criticism of the mining industry is based on selected, naively interpreted, unrelated information that is appar-ently drawn from sources that support her ideas. She has problems with “earth-mined diamonds” and the conflicts that are “fuelled” by “dirty” diamonds.

Diamonds are used as a medium of exchange for weapons in some African countries. I can understand this view but since the diamond mining industry in Canada is an important foun-dation to our economy and does not contribute to these

conflicts, I disagree with her view that natural diamonds should be avoided and syn-thetic diamonds be consid-ered instead.

The co-production of in-dustrial diamonds at these mines is also essential for making abrasive and cutting tools for industry.

The same is true for gold and base metal mining in Canada. The standard of liv-ing Canadians enjoy is based on export. This includes raw materials and manufactured goods. This new money generated by exports is fun-damental to our wealth and mining plays a large part.

Contrary to her assertion, mining is actually one of the most efficient industries. The ability to extract low concen-trations of metals from rock and pay miners high wages is due to efficiency and ad-vanced technology. Mining jobs have the highest average pay rate of any industry. Our dollar and its buying power are linked to the value of

oil produced by mining the Alberta oil sands. The child artisanal mining she writes about occurs in countries where resources or produc-tivity cannot support the population. What alternative is there for these people?

In summary, whether you like or dislike the mining industry, there is nothing in an industrialized society that is produced, transported or manufactured without the products of mining. This in-cludes agriculture, health care and all those products that are going to save the planet like solar cells, wind power, electric cars and everything electric from computers to appliances.

I have no problem with opinions expressed by oth-ers but I would prefer to read opinions from people who are better informed.

I can’t help but feel fortu-nate to live in a country where all the products of mining are available and affordable. Uwe Schmidt, Port Moody

Assessments of land values don’t add up

REAL ESTATE

The Editor,I live in Coquitlam and have

been subjected to net property tax increases totalling 15.7% over the last two years, above the 12.8% assessed value increase of the same period of time, for exactly the same house.

The net tax increase just last year was $330.34. This year, my home’s assessed value was another 18.6% higher, so this “2.64%” tax increase is most likely in all reality a figment of our council’s imagination, as far as I am concerned.

Even then, the assessed value is a fictional number that doesn’t seem to relate to reality. I did some research and found that the land value (91% of my assessment total), does not relate to whether there is a view or not; whether or not there is a ravine or park backing the lot; or even by dollar per square foot. Nearby properties range from $36 per square foot to $92 per square foot, which makes little sense. The information on

the BC Assessment website was somewhat incorrect, and the piece of land that my home sits on determines more than 90% of what will be expected to pay in property taxes.

This system of determining property taxes, in my humble opinion, is just plain nuts. Letters to council and mayor resulted in responses from only three of the nine, and only one MLA bothered to re-spond so far — and the three councillors just passed the

buck, blaming the province.There needs to a provincial

law stating that property taxes for unchanged houses/proper-ties have no more than a cer-tain percentage increase over the previous year.

My pension went up by 1% this year. So from previous experience, the quoted “about $55 increase in Coquitlam” is in my view just fiction that does not relate to my reality for my nearly 50-year-old house.Sarah Wilson, Coquitlam

PoCo launching outreachTAKING OUT THE TRASH

This spring, PoCo will launch a $50,000 outreach program to teach residents and businesses where to place their waste.

Meanwhile, MMBC also has its eye on Port Moody, which was told last year its recycling loads were seen to have con-tamination. “Bagged goods” and Styrofoam are the biggest pests.

Its public awareness cam-paign, called Let’s Clean Up Our Recycling, aims to increase Port Moody’s already high di-version rate (about 75% of Port

Moody’s waste does not end up in the landfill).

As in Coquitlam and PoCo, Port Moody has ample infor-mation on its city website and offers apps and social media tools to help people sort their trash, recycling and organics.

Still, plastic bags remain a sticking point as they’re not easy to dispose of: Plastic bags need to be returned to the gro-cery stores or recycled at one of the Encorp Return-It depots around town.

Warriner suggested resi-dents make the change and go without plastic bags entirely. Fabric bags can be used at gro-cery stores and brown paper bags can go into the green can. “Sometimes, a behaviour shift can result in a massive change for the overall population.”

Buy a daisy to help Children of the St.

CHILD SAFETY

A Coquitlam-based organi-zation working to stop sexual exploitation of children and youth has embarked on its annual spring awareness and fundraising campaign.

The Children of the Street Society is selling, by donation, fucshia-coloured daisies and holding a celebration March 9 in conjunction with Stop Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth Week, which runs March 14 to 20.

The daisy was chosen as it is a flower that easily connects to childhood innocence; its fuch-sia colour combines red, for red light districts, and purple, which is B.C.’s provincial co-lour for violence prevention.

The public can get a daisy pin through the society’s Coquitlam office or in select locations in the Tri-Cities, in-cluding: Rona Home Centres in Coquitlam, CIBC’s Austin Avenue branch, Canadian

Tire in Coquitlam, Vancity branches in Maillardville and

on North Road, at Brew Street in Port Moody, and Coquitlam Florist in Port Coquitlam.

As well, a Celebration of Success event is planned for Wednesday, March 9 at the Diamond Ballroom in Vancouver. The event will feature recognition for society members and donors, music, a fashion show and a chance to bid on prizes donated by a wide variety of businesses in the community. Proceeds from tickets sales and funds raised at the event will be used to support the society’s work to keep kids safe from all forms of sexual exploitation, including workshops for School District 43 students.

Tickets for the celebration are still available and can be purchased through the Children of the Street Society’s website (www.childrenofthes-treet.com) or by calling 604-777-7510.

SUBMITTED PHOTOThe Children of the Street Society is selling daisy pins by donation to raise funds for school programs to stop sexual exploitation of children and youth. The pins are available at several Tri-City locations.

Burgers, beers, refugeesWELCOMING REFUGEES

Fundraiser set for March 18 in PoCo

You can have a night out at the Burke Beer House while also raising money to help Syrian refugees.

A group of Tri-City residents are organizing the fundraising event on March 18 to help refu-gees who are coming to this area in the hopes of easing the high living costs in the Lower

Mainland and helping the families feel welcome.

“As citizens of the world, we can’t sit idly when people are hurting,” organizer Amy Lubik said in a release. “These are people just like us and our families who were brutally uprooted, so we want to… help in any way we can to support our new neighbours and make them feel welcome.”

Speakers at the event in-clude refugee spokesperson

Tima Kurdi as well as Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, NDP MLA Mike Farnworth (Port Coquitlam-Burke Mountain) and Liberal MP Ron McKinnon (Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam).

The event is starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25 and include a burger and beer; they’re available at www.event-brite.com. Burke Beer House is located at 2099 Lougheed Hwy. in PoCo.

West also said he’s con-cerned with some realtors openly promoting themselves to draw Asian interest to PoCo.

He cited an example of one pair of realtors whose website stated that they “understand the challenges and opportuni-ties working on behalf of over-seas buyers or Port Coquitlam locals who are looking to sell their properties at the best pos-sible price.”

West said he has received numerous calls from constitu-ents who complain about the rising cost of PoCo homes.

“Like many people, I’m con-cerned that the influx of foreign money dumped into local real estate is putting home owner-ship out of reach for more and more people,” West said. “It’s not just in Vancouver — it’s in PoCo, too.

“How does that build community? A community where only the ultra-rich from overseas can afford to own homes?”

West said, unlike other elected officials in Metro Vancouver who are shying away from the topic for fear of being seen as politically incor-rect, he’s eager to sound off.

“I’m sorry, but putting your

head in the sand isn’t going to cut it,” he said. “I think it’s pissing people off. I’m hearing it loud and clear from people and I know it’s a complex issue, but they at least expect us to recognize it and do something about it.”

The controversial topic has fuelled plenty of discussion in B.C. over the past year, espe-cially as China’s stock market is in turmoil and its economy slows. Investors there are seek-ing better returns and seeing Lower Mainland real estate as a sure bet, experts say.

Last November, Bing Thom Architects released its report on ownership patterns of single-family home sales on west-side neighbourhoods in Vancouver. It found 66% of homes sold in West Point Grey,

the University Endowment Lands and Dunbar between August 2014 and February 2015 were purchased by offshore buyers.

On Wednesday, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV), which includes the Tri-Cities, said last month was the highest selling February on record for the Metro Vancouver housing market. Residential property sales in the region were up 65.6% from the previ-ous month and 36.3% from February 2015.

For all of 2015, the number of homes listed for sale was below historical averages while actual home sales in the region set a record.

REBGV did not return a request for comment but, in a

press release, president Darcy McLeod is quoted as saying, “We’re in a competitive, fast-moving market cycle that fa-vours home sellers. Sustained home buyer competition is keeping upward pressure on home prices across the region.”

Still, Tri-City realtors Rod and Rhea Hayes of Park Georgia Realty said they don’t know what country their buy-ers are from.

“We’ve seen an increase in buyers who don’t speak English and are represented by a translator,” they told The Tri-City News. “We don’t know where they are coming from. They could be Canadian citizens who don’t have all the language skills.”

Friday, March 4FESTIVAL DU BOIS

Tons of live music, children’s events, art ex-hibits, workshops and even pancakes — what’s not to love about the French-filled Festival du Bois? Back for its 27th annual edition at Coquitlam’s Mackin Park the festival offers two days (and this evening) packed with family fun. Kick it off tonight at 7 p.m. with an open-ing concert at Place des Arts featuring Annette Campagne (pop/folk) and Raine Hamilton (singer/songwriter) and come back Saturday morning for the main stage, where entertain-ment runs from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sunday starts with Mass at 9 a.m., followed by a pancake breakfast, and the music runs from 10:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are also great events, including a hands-on street hockey jam with the Coquitlam Express, artisan kiosks, a Vancouver Aquarium Aquavan, theatre improv and much more. Visit www.festivaldubois.ca for details and tickets.

4000 MILESThe Arts Club on Tour swings through the

Evergreen Cultural Centre with a performance starring Nicola Cavendish as Vera, whose life is suddenly turned upside down when her 21-year-old grandson arrives on her doorstep after cycling across the country with a bike and little else.

Tickets are $39/$30/$15 at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca or 604-927-6555.

drama of Karen Flamenco’s Carmen in the latest Coffee Concert instalment.

HIKE OF THE WEEKSnowshoeing to Cypress LakeRating: moderateTime needed: 5-6 hours.Length: 10 km (13.5 km with extension)Elevation gain: 560 m (740 m with extension)

This hike makes for a pleas-ant outing at any time of the year but when the snow level is down to 700 m, it provides a great opportunity to use your snowshoes in the Tri-Cities.

The end destination is Cypress Lake, a picturesque spot high above Westwood Plateau. There is an optional extension that adds more fun snowshoeing and also takes in a fine viewpoint that looks out towards downtown Vancouver.

Start on Eagle Mountain Drive at the junction with the gas plant service road. Follow this road up for about 400 m and then pass through a gate on your left, continuing on the track that continues beyond. This track is a key landmark on Westwood Plateau as trails radiate from it along its entire length, some going all the way to Buntzen Lake.

Follow the track over a bridge and upwards for about 1 km. Just before a bend, where the track crosses Noons Creek, you will see a distinct boulder strewn mountain bike trail (called “Dentist”) heading up on your right. Follow this up for about a kilometre, keeping to the main uphill path when confronted with trail choices.

“Dentist” brings you out onto another service road. Turn right and then almost im-mediately look out for another mountain bike trail heading up on your left (“Four Lost Souls”). Follow this upwards, passing insane mountain bike jumps, until you emerge on yet another track. In snow, the trail may be tricky to follow but the wooden jump structures are a good clue that you’re still on track.

If the snow line is low enough, then this is a good place to put on your snow-shoes, as from now on, the route follows easy angled tracks that are ideal for snow-shoeing when there’s enough snow. Turn left at the track and follow it over a bridge to a T-junction with another track. Turn right here and continue upwards to another T-junction. Turn right and follow the track for about 1 km until you see another track on your left, which is the short spur that leads to Cypress Lake. The lake is a good spot to take lunch.

The easiest way back is to retrace your steps. If you ac-cidentally stray onto the wrong trail, then you will eventually

end up on the main lower track, where a turn to the southeast will take you back towards the start.

For an optional extension to the hike, go straight on at the first main T-junction (when returning from Cypress Lake),

taking the west branch of the upper track. Follow this for 1.7 km to a fork. The left fork brings you out to a really nice viewpoint that overlooks Mount Seymour, with Vancouver in the distance. Retrace back to the T-junction and turn right there

for the way home.Steve Chapman is a Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteer, a

B.C. government seeks input on climate planTHE ENVIRONMENT

You might not know it but the provincial govern-ment is slowly moving

towards developing an action plan for dealing with climate change and it supposedly wants your input (see engage.gov.bc.ca/climateleadership).

This process started last May when the government an-nounced a Climate Leadership Team to assist it. This team, comprising 18 members, in-cludes elected officials and First Nation representatives as well as individuals with business, academic and environmental backgrounds.

The first public consulta-tion occurred in the middle of last summer — timing that likely limited participation from the public. The recom-mendations from the Climate Team were quietly released in late November, just before the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris concluded with a new agreement to try to limit global warming to no

more than 1.5 C.In January, again with very

little fanfare, a second round of public consultation was an-nounced. Comments are due March 25 — for some reason, at high noon. They can be submit-ted to [email protected].

Later this spring, a final plan will be released.

The government has pro-duced a 30-page document to guide people through its Climate Team’s 32 recommen-dations. If that does not provide you with sufficient background, you can also read through the Climate Team’s 36-page report.

It’s most unfortunate this is all sounds like some dreary homework assignment be-cause how we deal with climate change and limit our green-house gas (GHG) emissions has to be one of the most urgent challenges of our time.

And how, exactly, is B.C. doing when it comes to ramp-ing down our GHG emissions? Not very well, as it turns out.

Back in 2007 when GHG reduction targets were first an-nounced, we were supposed to reduce our emissions to 33% below 2007 levels by 2020 and 80% below that by 2050. Our current annual emissions are 62 million tonnes (Mt), down a mere 4 Mt from 66 Mt in 2007, a reduction of only 6% — so, we are going to miss our 2020 target by a mile. It will take decisive

and significant actions to reach the 2050 target.. but it remains possible.

In 2008, then premier Gordon Campbell introduced an innovative carbon tax that, initially, was reasonably ef-fective at decreasing GHG emissions. In fact, per capita consumption of fuel dropped 16% in B.C. while increasing 3% in the rest of Canada.

But Premier Christy Clark has frozen the carbon tax since 2011 rather than increasing it incre-mentally each year as originally planned. In addition, it only ap-plies to about 70% of GHG gas emissions in B.C.

Nonetheless, there is little doubt a carbon tax can be ef-fective in changing people’s habits and reducing emissions. Carbon taxes are being increas-ingly used in other jurisdictions around the world. Rather than being revenue-neutral, as our carbon tax is, it might make more sense to direct the funds generated into supporting transitions to renewable tech-nologies or public transit. And it must be applied to all sources of GHG emissions, including fugi-tive methane emissions — no industry should get a break, as some do now in B.C.

In fact, I don’t think it’s necessary to read through a lot of reports to determine what we need to do to tackle global warming. It’s not exactly rocket science — and we can do it by

applying existing technologies.We do need to tax carbon.

The carbon tax, currently frozen at $30 per tonne until 2018, should, instead, increase as originally planned and, this

time, be applied to all GHG emissions.

The province should probably back off from its strident sup-port for LNG exports and ensure all of the gas industry’s fugitive

emissions of GHG cease.In terms of electricity genera-

tion, it is now almost entirely GHG-free. But under the Clean Energy Act, BC Hydro was for-bidden from developing new sources of electricity (with the exception of Site C). This foolish decision of the Campbell gov-ernment, intended to help pri-vate electricity producers, might explain why we have almost no solar sources developed in B.C. In addition to restoring BC Hydro’s ability to generate electricity, we should also allow the BC Utilities Commission to review all such decisions to ensure we are abiding by our climate plan in the most effec-tive manner possible.

Without a doubt, we also need to make some significant changes to building standards as well as ensuring more ambi-tious programs for retrofits.

It is unfortunate the provin-cial government is not using this public consultation to truly engage citizens and generate some enthusiasm for working together to reduce emissions and minimize the threats posed by global warming. Surely, this is the least we owe our children and our grandchildren.

GREEN SCENE

ELAINE GOLDS LEE HARDING PHOTOAt their March 8 meeting, Burke Mountain Naturalists will hear about Argentina’s exotic birds, including Darwin’s rhea.

ABOUT ARGENTINA’S BIRDSBirds are the topic at next Tuesday’s meeting of the Burke

Mountain Naturalists.The evening will feature a slideshow describing the high-

lights of a birding tour of Argentina by BMN member and wildlife biologist Lee Harding. His presentation will illustrate the reasons for the rich diversity of birds in this part of the world and include photos of some of Argentina’s iconic rhea, parrot and flycatcher species.

There will also be a short presentation on a topic of relevance closer to home: bird-window collisions. According to BMN, Bird Studies Canada is initiating a new citizen-science moni-toring program to understand the scale of the problem and how collisions can be reduced. Karen Devitt from Bird Studies Canada will provide information on how to get involved.

The March 8 meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the hall of Como Lake United Church, located on the corner of Marmont Street and King Albert Avenue in Coquitlam. For more info, call 604-461-3864 or visit www.bmn.bc.ca.

Committed to safety since 1953.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project:

• A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marinesafety enhancements.

• A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction.• An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.• An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.• Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including

the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.• Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three

BC Class A parks.• Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops

and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

For more than four years, we’ve worked together withour neighbours and local communities to hear whatthey have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.By listening closely and having an open dialogue,we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and moreresponsive project. We are working to meet all therequirements of the regulators, as well as consultingwith communities, Indigenous people, governmentagencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue towork with them throughout development, constructionand operations. We know how critical it is to get thisright. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hearwith significant changes to the Project.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people,we are making better project decisions.”- Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

Norton, Donnelly, Prentice on display in PoMoPORT MOODY ATHLETES

You may go to the Port Moody recreation complex for a child’s hockey game or skat-ing lessons, for a spin class or a workout in the gym. But when you go, if you take a moment to peruse the display cases, you’ll learn a little about PoMo sport-ing history.

The city added to that his-tory yesterday when it an-nounced its newest Sports Display Award inductees at a ceremony.

The 2015 recipients — the city’s second ever — are: base-ball player, coach and manager Wayne Norton; women’s soccer champion Geraldine Donnelly; and Special Olympics medal winner Jay Prentice. They all fit the cri-teria as “positive role models encouraging young people to

get involved in sports, lead ac-tive and healthy lifestyles, and strive for excellence,” accord-ing to a city press release.

“We’re so proud of these local sports heroes,” Mayor Mike Clay said. “It’s incred-ible that in a community of this size, we have so many talented and successful ath-letes, coaches and community sports leaders. It really is in-spiring to see what these Port Moody residents have accom-plished.”

Past recipients include: NHL player Ryan Johansen (now with the Nashville Predators), Jamie Constable, Bob Flavelle, Olympic skater Tracy Wilson, and the Port Moody secondary school 2002 cheer team.

Pearce looks ahead after Dinos’ defeat

UNIVERSITY HOCKEY

PoMo’s Edwards ends U. career JOHN LYNCHSPECIAL TO THE NEWS

A playoff defeat was the end one Tri-City hockey player’s university career but just the next step for another.

Port Moody’s Spencer Edwards finished his univer-sity hockey playing days last Saturday while teammate Elgin Pearce from Port Coquitlam will be returning to the University of Calgary Dinos for the 2016/’17 season.

Last weekend, the Dinos were eliminated from further Can West action when they dropped two semifinal games — one by a 4-3 score in double overtime

last Friday, then 5-3 on Saturday — to the U. of Saskatchewan Huskies in Saskatoon.

“My teammates and coaches have helped me develop a lot as a player,” Pearce said. “This year was a good season for everyone but we just didn’t go as far as we would have liked.”

In his career so far with the Dinos, Pearce has compiled a point-a-game total of 30 goals and 30 assists in 60 games.

Baseball, Special O and soccer athletes honoured

PORT MOODY ATHLETES

Some information on this year’s inductees:

WAYNE NORTONWayne Norton, also known

as “Mr. Port Moody,” grew up and attended school in Moody Centre, and he and his family have lived on the city’s north shore for 50 years.

An athletic scholarship took Norton to Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash., where he was scouted by the New York Yankees. He played for AA and AAA teams, including the Vancouver Mounties AAA baseball team owned by Nat Bailey, founder of White Spot restaurants.

When his playing days were over, Norton became a baseball administrator and manager. He was technical director of Baseball BC in the early 1970s and into the ’80s, and, during that time, he oversaw the de-velopment of training manuals and was national senior team coach, manager and executive. He managed Team Canada at the 1975 Pan American Games, created the junior na-tional team and, in 1986, along with Pat Gillick, founded the National Baseball Institute.

He has worked as a scout with the Montreal Expos and Baltimore Orioles, and, since 2000, as the Seattle Mariners’ scouting co-ordinator for Canada and Europe. Twice he was named Canadian Scout of the Year by the Canadian Baseball Network (1998 and 2013) and was the Mariners’ International Scout of the Year in 2007. He was also inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

Over the years, Norton has either played alongside, scouted or managed a lineup

of top-level talents, including Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Pat Gillick, Tony La Russa, Larry Walker and Michael Saunders.

GERI DONNELLYGeri Donnelly is a pioneer

of Canadian women’s soc-cer. Born in London, U.K., she played street soccer with local boys before her family moved to Port Moody when she was eight years old.

Donnelly played youth soc-cer in PoMo at a time when girls’ soccer here was in its in-fancy, eventually moving onto the Canadian national team and the Vancouver Whitecaps.

She was an original member of Canada’s women’s national team back in 1986, scoring the first two goals in program his-tory in a 2-1 victory over the U.S. in 1986. She participated in two FIFA Women’s World Cups (Sweden 1995 and USA 1999) and won one CONCACAF Championship (1998). She also won Canadian Player of the Year honours in 1996 and ’99. Donnelly made 71 appearances for the national team, retiring in ’99 as Canada’s all-time leader in appearances

Besides being an outstanding soccer player, she was a multi-talented athlete and attended SFU on a basketball scholar-ship.

She ended her soccer play-ing career in 2009 after guiding Surrey United to six consecutive provincial titles. Donnelly was named to Canada’s all- time women’s team in 2012 and was selected as a member of the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame in 2014, and will be inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in June.

JAY PRENTICEJay Prentice has lived in Port

Moody with his family since he was five years old and is a graduate of Heritage Woods secondary school.

From an early age, Prentice has enjoyed and excelled in ath-letics, and has participated as a Special Olympics athlete since 2007. He first competed in the Special Olympics as a baseball player, and now participates in various winter and summer games sports, including speed skating, snowshoeing, swim-ming, basketball, fitness, soccer and track and field.

He represented B.C. and won medals at both the Canadian national, summer and winter games. He also received several medals at the BC Games. In Prentice’s first year of speed skating, he qualified for the BC Winter Games and his excep-tional results lead him to the 2012 Canadian Winter games in St. Albert, Alta., where he won gold, silver and bronze medals.

An extraordinary multi-sport athlete, he became the fastest male in B.C. in the 100 m and 200 m sprints, qualifying him to go to the 2014 Canadian National Summer games, where he won bronze in the 400 m event.


FILE PHOTOGeri Donnelly competed for the Canadian national women’s soccer team 71 times, including two Women’s World Cups.

TC trio TWU all-stars

1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST IN A LOSING CAUSE

UNIVERSITY VOLLEYBALL

UNIVERSITY HOCKEY

Three Trinity Western University volleyball play-ers from the Tri-Cities have been named Canada West Universities Athletic Association all-stars.

TWU women’s team setter Nikki Cornwall of Coquitlam and middle Katie Devaney of Port Coquitlam are first-team all-stars while the men’s team’s Ryan Sclater was tagged as a second-team all-star.

For Cornwall and Devaney, the honours mark the first time they’ve been named Canada West all-stars while Sclater was a second-team all-star last season.

The third-year Cornwall, who was named to the all-rookie team in 2013/’14, led the CIS in assists per set this year, with 10.45. Her

assists-per-set tally marked the second best season in TWU’s program history, bet-tered only by Anna Paddock, who averaged 10.52 per set in 2005/’06.

Devaney, who is in her third year, was second in the conference in both hit-ting percentage, at .317, and blocks per set, at 1.25. She helped TWU to a conference-

leading 2.74 blocks per set.TWU left side Sclater put

together the most impressive statistical offensive season in the Spartans’ program his-tory. His 4.07 kills per set in the regular season marked the highest average ever recorded by a TWU men’s volleyball player. The fourth-year out-side had 14 or more kills in 15 of his team’s 24 matches.

This year, he led the team in points during the regular season and had six goals and one assist in seven playoff games against the Huskies and the University of Manitoba in the quarterfinals. In Saturday night’s game, he had a goal and an assist for the Dinos.

When asked about a crucial moment in the series, Pearce

pointed to the double-over-time goal by Huskies captain Kendell McFaull last Friday night. The Huskies outshot the Dinos 78-34 in the game while on Sunday the Huskies outshot the Dinos 34-18.

“That is how I look at it now,” Pearce said. “We certainly felt we could still win the series [after Friday’s game] but, looking back on it now, the overtime goal was

the turning point.”And while Pearce is com-

ing back to the team next season, this series marked the last game for Edwards in CIS men’s hockey. “It was a tough way for the season to see the season end but I am proud of the way we played,” Edwards said. “I would not be sur-prised if the Huskies won the league title. They are a very good team.”


TC SFU SWIMMERS TO CHAMPIONSHIPSA trio of Tri-City SFU swimmers will compete in the 2016
