PoCo takes steps towards living wage rulePORT COQUITLAM

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Municipal staff and workers contracted by the city of Port Coquitlam will soon earn at least a living wage.

This week, PoCo’s finance committee got the ball rolling for the city to become certified as a living wage employer.

The committee will look at implementation options at its April 11 meeting; city council

will vote on the policy April 25.On Monday, advocates

spoke about the benefits of PoCo taking a leadership role and lifting employees out of poverty.

Deanna Ogle, campaign or-

ganizer for the certifying body Living Wage for Families, told the committee 15% of PoCo kids — or 1,789 children — live below the poverty line.

“Why do we have poor chil-dren? Because we have poor

parents,” Coun. Brad West said Monday. “It’s a disgrace that so many are living in poverty in such a wealthy part of the world.”

Coquitlam cashing in on film biz bucksSHOW BIZ

Weak Canadian dollar helps city & rest Metro VanGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam residents can ex-pect to see some familiar sights — and sites — when watching their favourite movies and tele-vision programs.

The falling Canadian dollar has led to a sharp increase in the number of film produc-tions setting up shop in the city, a trend that does not ap-

pear to be slowing in 2016. “To date, we are getting more

inquiries than from this time last year,” said David Munro, the city’s manager of economic de-velopment. He added that this year “we will at least keep pace or do slightly better” in overall numbers.

According to a staff report, the number of inquiries from film companies was up 25% last year, going from 200 in 2014 to 250 in 2015, while the number of film permits issued jumped 8%.

While the film permit rev-enue is small in terms of the city’s overall operating budget — up from $75,000 in 2014 to

$87,000 in 2015 — Munro said it has a direct impact on munici-pal services. For example, the television series Wayward Pines began production of season two earlier this month on a piece of city land on Burke Mountain at Princeton Avenue and Trafalgar Street. The property, which is currently occupied by a large film set, will be revert to a park when the filming is complete, with proceeds from the film permit paying for the work, ac-cording to Munro.

“We can leverage the use of it,” he said. “The revenue that we will be able to generate will go back into the park.”

There are also economic spi-noffs that come with large film productions.

For example, when filming for the blockbuster superhero movie Deadpool took place in Vancouver in early 2015, the production spent $40 million in 58 days. It also oversaw the hir-ing of 2,000 local cast, crew and extras who earned $19 million in wages, according to Creative BC, the government-supported organization that oversees the industry in the province.

While not every production will create the kind of spinoffs as a large action blockbuster like Deadpool, Munro said there are

ways for the city to calculate the benefits of local filming. For ex-ample, the Association of Film Commissioners International estimates the economic impact of production for each day of shooting at $130,000 for feature films and $110,000 for television series.

The organization also noted that long-term, multi-season productions often become entrenched in the communi-ties where they operate. For example, during the first season of Wayward Pines, which is set in Idaho and stars Matt Dillon, extensive filming took place on the Riverview Hospital grounds.

When the show began film-ing season two, Munro said producers wanted to continue at Riverview and added the second set at Princeton and Trafalgar to keep the produc-tion within close proximity.

Other major film produc-tions have filmed scenes in Coquitlam. A city staff report said the list of movies and tele-vision programs filmed in the municipality in 2015 includes: Bates Motel, DC: Legends of Tomorrow, Hidden Fortress, iZombie, Once Upon A Time, The Flash and The X-Files.

Federal transit grants to come in slowly at firstFEDERAL BUDGET

$370M for Metro over next 2 years under Libs’ planJEFF NAGELBlaCk Press

The federal budget released yesterday brought good and bad news for Metro Vancouver mayors who had hoped big new grants from Ottawa might quickly accelerate their transit expansion plans.

There is no major chunk on offer yet from the federal government for the planned Broadway SkyTrain extension or the Surrey light rail project, both $2-billion-plus projects.

Instead, those rapid transit lines are expected to be the subject of further negotiations

with Ottawa towards a future second phase of public transit grants that may not come until around the next federal elec-tion or beyond.

Talks between Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi and Metro mayors are to begin as soon as Thursday.

What is coming soon — over the next two years — is $460 million in public transit fund-ing for B.C., $370 million of that for Metro Vancouver.

Metro mayors expect that to help fund new buses, SkyTrain cars and station upgrades for TransLink — effectively help-ing kickstart the other planks of the region’s transit expansion strategy, which has been in limbo since the referendum defeat last summer of a new regional sales tax.

Metro board chair, and

Port Coquitlam’s mayor, Greg Moore noted the regional vision called for a 25% bus service lift and 11 new B-line express routes, adding some of that could be implemented soon.

The initial phase of money is also expected to help fund con-tinued design and engineering of the Vancouver and Surrey rapid transit expansions.

Other good news, if widely telegraphed in advance by federal ministers, is a commit-ment to sweeten the traditional funding formula of one third from each senior government for major new infrastructure. The budget now commits Ottawa to provide up to 50% of the costs of public transit projects.

That’s significant as Metro mayors work with the province

to hammer out a new funding source for transit.

With regional taxpayers now needing to shoulder only one-sixth instead of the usual one-third of the costs, it means a new tax for transit won’t be as onerous or possibly as tough to sell as the one that went to referendum last year.

That would have raised $250 million a year as the region’s share towards the proposed $7.5 billion transit expansion plan, with the rest coming from federal and provincial contri-butions.

“The whole landscape has changed since the referen-dum,” said Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, who predicts intense closed-door talks with pro-vincial ministers to solve the TransLink financing impasse. “It would be irresponsible of us

not to be ready for that fund-ing. No one is going to want to miss this opportunity.”

B.C.’s minister respon-sible for TransLink, Peter Fassbender, wouldn’t specu-late on what might be the like-liest new tax to fund TransLink, but said he would work with Metro mayors.

The province’s number one priority for infrastructure grants — the $3.5-billion Massey Tunnel replace-ment with a new bridge and Highway 99 upgrade — got no mention in the federal budget, although Fassbender said he hasn’t given up hope of a fed-eral contribution to that new bridge.

“We’re going to continue to press for that,” he said. “We’re going to see what evolves.”

The province will pro-

ceed with the Massey bridge whether Ottawa helps or not, he added.

Fassbender also welcomed federal contributions to afford-able housing and to a study on the impact of foreign invest-ment on rapidly rising real estate prices.

Another major budget com-mitment is $212 million for Metro Vancouver’s planned $750-million rebuild of its Lions Gate waste water treat-ment plant — the regional district’s top priority.

The federal government is also pledging $60 million over five years to establish a new RCMP forensics lab at the E Division headquarters in Surrey as well as a new veter-ans affairs office in Surrey.

GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWSCrews working on season two of the television series “Wayward Pines” have built a large set on Burke Mountain at Princeton Avenue and Trafalgar Street. With the falling Canadian dollar, the city of Coquitlam, like the rest of Metro Vancouver, has seen an increase in the number of film productions operating in the municipality.

1,444 more homes in Coquitlam in ’15

COQUITLAM DEVELOPMENT

GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Development on Burke Mountain and along the Evergreen Line led to a net gain of 1,444 homes in Coquitlam last year.

Of that total, 1,136 are new multi-family units while 275 are single-family, with another 207 listed as suites, according to the city’s final trimester re-port for 2015, which also noted 144 units were demolished.

“The number of develop-ment applications received and building construction out-put remains strong compared to longer term historic levels,” said the document.

The overall value of build-ing permits issued in 2015 was $366 million, up from $352 million in 2014. Of that total, the vast majority — $235.2 mil-lion — comes out of the south-west area, where Evergreen Line construction has spurred a building boom along North Road in Burquitlam.

The City Centre neigh-bourhood saw $64.5 million in building permits while the northeast sector, which includes Burke Mountain, re-corded $63.9 million.

Residential construction is driving development activity in

Coquitlam — up 7.6% in 2015 over 2014 — while industrial and commercial construction activity decreased 16%, accord-ing to the staff report.

That compares with the Metro Vancouver average,

which saw a 23% overall in-crease in building permits, with residential permit values up 35% and commercial and in-dustrial permit values down 2%.

PoCo looks at wage of $19.75 per hour

PORT COQUITLAM

Ogle is pressing PoCo to use its Metro Vancouver wage model of $20.68 per hour based on the CMHC housing costs for the city of Vancouver; however, PoCo is eyeing an hourly wage of $19.75 based on the Tri-Cities Primary Rental Market Statistics (the living wage in Victoria is $20.05 per hour while in the Fraser Valley, it’s $17.27 per hour).

Last December, PoCo’s human resources manager told council the cost to the city to have a living wage policy would be in the range of $6,000 to $40,000 per year for staff pay and another $50,000 annually for contracted work.

But Catherine Ludgate, manager of community invest-ment at Vancity, which is a certified living wage employer, told the committee Monday her credit union saved cash when it drilled down on its contracts. Many contractors were willing to sit side-by-side at the negotiation table to help Vancity crunch its numbers in becoming a living wage em-ployer.

“Frankly, we are buying less junk now,” she said.

Ogle also said examples out of the U.K. and U.S. have shown a direct correlation between the living wage and improvements in health care. Families lifted out of poverty because they are earning a living wage are making genera-tional impacts, she said.

Asked by Coun. Darrell Penner about Living Wage for Families’ push with the provincial government for ac-tion, Ogle said it’s lobbying on campaigns like the $10/day childcare platform.

But while PoCo city hall hopes to take a leadership role in becoming a living wage em-ployer, not all local businesses will be able to follow suit, Coun. Mike Forrest warned the committee. His small company

— Forrest Marine, a commer-cial gillnet fishery — needs to compete to make a profit, he said.

“It’s easy for government because they pass it along,” he said of the extra cost to taxpay-ers.

Still, Ogle and Ludgate countered higher wages lead to higher morale and longer em-ployee retention, which in turn save money.

If approved by city council next month, the living wage policy would be part of the city’s 2017 budget.

NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN“On day one, it was dif�cult to move my head allthe way left and right and now I can. I could not liftmy left arm above my head and now I can. THEPAIN IS GONE! If I hurt myself again, I will treatwith LASER Therapy.”

Dennis Moore (63)NECK PAIN“I had chronic pain that would run the length ofmy left arm from my shoulder right to my �ngertips.It was painful enough that it would wake me upthroughout the night, so I could not get a decentnight sleep. After about 2-3 weeks of laser lighttherapy on my neck, the pain disappeared and Iwas able to get a decent night sleep.”

N.C. Age 69NECK PAIN“The experience with laser was comfortable and feltsome relief after the �rst few treatments. After thefourth treatment, the spasms have dismissed with littlediscomfort left in my lower back. Only having theone treatment on my neck, the muscles loosened andthere was some relief.”

L.A. (52)HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN“Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neckpain...I tried every possible treatment...but alas,nothing worked. One day, I came across an ad forLaser light Therapy and even though I was scepticalI tried it out of desperation...I had approximately 18treatments and no longer suffer neck pain – it is trulya miracle!”

Patsy Bernstein (58)

SHOULDER AND NECK PAIN...I experienced an extreme pain in my shoulderand neck.Within a few treatments, I noticed a difference rightaway, and the pain had started to subside. Mynights were not restless anymore and I could putthe pain killers aside....I can now proudly say that I feel totallyrecovered...and simply can’t say how wonderfulthis treatment has turned out for me.

Richard ParkinsonNeck Arthritis:I had tremendous pain in my neck. I couldn’t turn tothe right. 9-10 months prior I had tried lots of physiowith no great change so I was reluctant to try lasertherapy. I had 12 treatments. By the 4th treatment Ihad more mobility and less pain. It was an amazingdifference. I will continue with the exercises as theyare bene�cial. Such a professional team. – Margaret

Elbow and Neck Arthritis:Finally I decided to start Laser Light Therapy.First the neck, within a few treatments my neckand shoulders stopped aching. Then the leftelbow, which was quite sore with moderatedegeneration. The treatments improved my painfulelbow. I no longer awake every few hours frompain and many nights I can sleep right through!

Event was moved from Sept. dateSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

When it comes to strategiz-ing for optimal dining at the second annual Port Moody Food Truck Festival, event organizer Laine Ogilvie rec-ommends going as a group to maximize your sampling capabilities.

With nearly 20 food trucks to choose from at the April 2 fes-tival, it’s the surest way to get a taste of all the goodness that will be served up at the family-friendly event.

“We do encourage a half order or a sample plate but we also encourage groups — that way, everyone can get one thing and everyone can share,” Ogilvie said.

This year’s event will feature

more food trucks parked at Inlet Field, offering everything from grilled cheese sandwiches to Portuguese food — along with tacos, mac ’n’ cheese, pulled pork, perogies, baked potatoes, poutine and global flavours coming from Thailand, Russia, Greece, Korea and Italy. And you can finish off the savoury goodies with sweet treats, in-cluding mini doughnuts, can-noli and ice cream.

Keeping everyone enter-tained between bites will be the band Big VooDoo and little ones can enjoy face painters, balloon twisters and a magi-cian. There will also be an arti-san market with items for sale.

Last year’s event, which was in September, saw about 3,000 people turn out despite a torrential downpour; Ogilvie opted to schedule the 2016 festival in April in the hopes of seeing better weather, and the admission fee has also been

scratched to encourage even better attendance.

That means all you need to do is get ready to fill your gullet, although Ogilvie has another trusted method for a successful festival visit.

“Don’t eat breakfast, and bring home dinner.”

In the before picture you can see the herniated disc (black)protruding into the spinal column (white, center of MRI). Afterdecompression treatment, the MRI shows the herniated disc is nolonger bulging into the spinal cord.

Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suf-fer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spineand back problems result from an auto accident, injury,or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discsare often misunderstood and improperly treated. Theycan result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body.

This pain affects everything that you do, from work toplay, and ultimately your quality of life. You might noteven be able to sleep at night without pain. If you sufferfrom debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that thereis hope. We have the technology and decades of ex-perience to help you find relief from disc problems andsciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuseson treating all disc and spine-related conditions withadvanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confidentthat we can help you find relief that we are offering acomplimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Painto Heal... Without Drugs or SurgeryDecompression relieves pressure that builds up onthe discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comesabout as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herni-ated disc back into place. Decompression achieves thisby creating negative pressure within the disc, referred toas negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentiallya vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc mate-rial back into the disc space and relieves pressure. Thisprocess of non-surgical decompression allows the bodyto heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatmentoptions available at the Spinal Decompression Institute.

Class IV Therapeutic LaserThe Spinal Decompression Institute employs a varietyof high-tech solutions along with decades of experienceto help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinaldecompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapyis an outpatient, non-surgical procedure which is oftenused in sports medicine to accelerate the healing pro-cess. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works bystimulating the body’s natural healing processes, pro-viding pain relief and reducing injury and damage. Thisleading-edge technology has shown results in returningpatients to work, sports and competitive activities, aswell as everyday life. Laser therapy is just one of thetreatment options that Spinal Decompression Instituteoffers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.

Who is a Candidate for SpinalDecompression?With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back andneck pain at some point in their lives and those typesof pain being the most common reasons for patientvisits to primary care physicians as well as hospitaliza-tion, there is no doubt that back and neck pain exists inepidemic proportions today. Many spinal conditions canbe treated, including pain due to bulging and herniateddiscs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neckpain and much more. If you have chronic or severe backpain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompressiontreatment.

Transportation is top of mind in Port Moody

PORT MOODY SURVEY

SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

In a city gearing up to wel-come the Evergreen Line and anticipating the associated housing densification with some trepidation, it’s no sur-prise that transportation topped the list of issues in a recent Port Moody citizen survey.

The Ipsos Public Affairs sur-vey polled 400 PoMo residents between Jan. 27 and Feb. 10 and found locals are generally satisfied with their quality of life (66.2% rated it as “very good” while 33.5% ranked it as “good”).

But among the issues seen as the most in need of attention from civic leaders, nearly half of residents identified trans-portation — including traffic congestion, public transit, SkyTrain, road conditions and parking — as the top priority and those numbers were up significantly from the 2014 sur-vey, when 38% mentioned it.

The next most important issue was growth and develop-ment, with mentions (24%) that were similar to 2014, well above the municipal norm of 13%, followed by parks, recre-ation and culture, which was raised by 11% of respondents, up significantly from 2014’s 5%.

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTOTransportation issues are among the most important for Port Moody residents according to a recent survey, which also identi-fied parks and recreation as top priorities among respondents.

Don’t borrow to pay for projects, poll says

PORT MOODY SURVEY

PoMo residents also tend to feel they get good value for their tax dollars, with nine out of 10 citizens giving the city the thumbs up. Police and fire services received the highest satisfaction ratings, follow-ing by parks and green space, library, recreational and cul-tural facilities, recycling and garbage. Traffic management was at the bottom, with just

52% expressing satisfaction. Most survey respondents

(55%) said they would prefer tax increases over service cuts, with 33% saying they would choose the latter.

And although Port Moody has some significant projects on the horizon — repairs to city hall and the recreation com-plex, the need for a new library, upgrades to Kyle Centre and an expanded Inlet Field — resi-dents aren’t keen to use debt

financing for new amenities.About half said they would

support borrowing for such work but of the half who were op-posed, about twice as many said they were “strongly opposed” as those who said they “strongly support” such a measure.

The survey results were to be presented to council Tuesday night and are available at www.portmoody.ca.

Bridge toll reform can wait, says transportation min.

METRO VAN TRANSPORTATION

‘Urgent need’ to resolve issue, smooth trafficJEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is being accused of dragging his feet on launch-ing a long-promised review of how tolls are charged on Metro Vancouver bridges.

Stone stuck to his position that a reform of the tolling policy — opening up a po-tential shift to road pricing or standardized tolls on all Metro bridges — would only be re-quired if final decisions are made to replace and toll both the new Pattullo and Massey bridges.

And even then, he said under questioning in the leg-islature, neither bridge would open for at least five to six years, leaving “plenty of time” to have a debate about what should happen.

Premier Christy Clark echoed that, saying it’s not yet clear how much federal money might come for those bridge replacements, an essential part of the equation on any tolling decisions.

“It’s difficult to think about what toll rates are going to be and then think about a balance across the region,” Clark said.

She called mobility pricing a “controversial issue” that she isn’t yet in a position to take a side on.

Independent Delta MLA Vicki Huntington said the province’s wait-and-see atti-tude is unacceptable.

“There’s an urgent need now to resolve this question,” Huntington said. “Everybody but the [transportation] minis-ter seems to understand this.”

Residents South of the Fraser are paying $1,000 to $2,000 a year in tolls if they have to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge, she said, adding that amount could be reduced if tolls are spread out across all crossings.

Drivers who cross elsewhere would suddenly have to con-tribute, but Huntington said they may benefit as well, if, for example, consistent tolls relieve the congestion at free crossings like the Pattullo.

“If you distribute the tolling system equally on the differ-

ent bridges then you’re not going to have all the trucks and all the congestion at the free bridge,” she said. “You open up the choice of routes so traffic is distributed more freely.

“To wait five or six years to even start the discussion is ridiculous. The issue is in front of us and it has to be resolved as soon as possible.”

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson last week repeated her support for an equitable system of tolls on all bridges, suggesting $1 a bridge.

Constant vigilance is keyOur identities are

for sale. There is seemingly no

protection for people who normally use credit cards, computers, driver’s licences and bank ac-counts— the accoutre-ments of daily life.

If a thief can grab a purse, as happened last year to a Coquitlam fam-ily, hack a computer or make a phone call, as hap-pened to a Tri-City senior recently, all manner of banking and credit card problems can arise, and not just immediately but months after the original crime. That’s because personal information can be used over and over and in creative ways to steal money, make fraudulent purchases, take control of existing accounts or open new ones.

When combined with social media fraud, where thieves befriend people or get access to public Facebook accounts to glean private details, even more criminal behaviour

can occur.It seems we are help-

less to prevent it and, thus, identity fraud is just another downside of mod-ern society, with victims responsible for remedying the damage, although banks, online stores and credit card companies are adopting new security measures and are gener-

ally good at reimbursing lost funds.

Still, it’s up to every-one to stay on top of the problem, to avoid shar-ing private information and account numbers to people over the phone, to change passwords regu-larly, to monitor accounts and keep a diary of issues and contact credit bureaus

if there’s a problem.Not taking these actions

leaves people exposed and the damage can be far reaching and long-lasting, and include the loss of credit and other issues.

For Coquitlam’s Gajdosik family, whose story was reported in last Friday’s Tri-City News, the problem lasted for a year and arose from something as simple and random as a break-in. It used to be that thieves wanted small valuables; now, a name, a credit card and driver’s licence are enough to cre-ate havoc.

But there may be some good news on the horizon; the latest report from Javelin Strategy and Research, which tracks identify theft, states here has been a slight decrease in the number of identity fraud victims, although thieves are getting more creative and sophisticated all the time.

The only thing to do is to be vigilant with all per-sonal ID and information.

The Editor,Re. “Labels for PoMo gas

pumps” (The Tri-City News, March 18).

It is quite surprising that the first Chevron is learning of the city of Port Moody’s consider-ation of climate change warn-ing labels on gas pump nozzles is through the media.

Chevron has not been con-sulted on this issue whatsoever. This is a disappointing ap-proach to governance by some Port Moody city councillors. It is reassuring to see that Mayor Mike Clay and councillors Diana Dilworth and Meghan Lahti present far more rea-soned perspectives in regards to this proposal.

It is certain that Chevron has no intention of installing nozzle toppers. As The Tri-City News story points out, Chevron does not have that style of handle at our retail stations. There are also very practical safety, operational and mainte-nance concerns with this type of proposal that have not been

considered by its proponents. Chevron has no intention of

covering the cost of a city bylaw that would only guilt its own residents for using their pri-mary mode of transport.

Perhaps realistic and mean-ingful climate change mitiga-tion solutions for Port Moody residents — such as increased public transit — would be the common sense approach?Adrien Byrne, Chevron

ATTRACT BIZ TO PMThe Editor,

So, let’s say I own a gas sta-tion in Port Moody and I refuse to apply the gas pump labels four of our city councillors want to prescribe in order to save the world from climate change. What is the worst pen-alty the city can impose upon me? Jail time? Fines to replace the $10,000 in tax dollars that, by the mayor’s estimate, four councillors have cost taxpayers so far in staff time, legal fees, etc.?

I’m unaware that the city has

the power to do either of those. It could, perhaps, cancel, my business licence and force me out of business, undoubtedly bringing about a lawsuit and delivering a strong message to businesses to stay out of Port Moody.

Encouraging businesses to locate here would do much more for climate change by seeing jobs created in the com-munity so residents wouldn’t have to burn fossil fuels to get to and from work in other

communities more friendly to business. Councillors Rick Glumac, Barbara Junker, Zoe Royer and Rob Vagramov need to give their heads a shake before this nonsense gets to a regular council meeting.

Whatever you think about climate change, our society can’t be totally weaned from fossil fuels overnight and no amount of stickers is going to advance us any distance to-wards real solutions.Jim Peacock, Port Moody

TC CONTACTemail: [email protected]: 604-472-3030www.tricitynews.com/opinion/lettersLETTERS

Labels such as these could soon be affixed to pumps at gas sta-tions in Port Moody after a city committee vote last Tuesday.

Chevron says it won’t put stickers on its PoMo pumps

Stupid or selfish? What’s reason for distracted driving?

ROAD SAFETY

The Editor,Re. “Cops looking for dis-

tracted drivers” (The Tri-City News, March 18).

Stupidity? Selfishness? A total lack of respect for fellow drivers and pedestrians?

That’s exactly what dis-tracted driving reflects.

How else can you ex-plain the 14 citations for cellphone use while driving a Vancouver woman has racked up?

Or the Vancouver man who, while on his cell phone, collided with an SUV on the Lions Gate Bridge, seriously injuring a pregnant woman, her husband and son, not even five minutes after being ticketed for being on his cell?

And it goes beyond stu-pidity when you take into account the fact that in B.C., 81 people lost their lives to distracted drivers last year, 27 in the Lower Mainland.

Can you imagine the an-guish of these people who

lost a loved one to some idiot on the cellphone?

The Canadian Medical Association released a re-port that stated impaired driving deaths dramatically decreased when supple-mentary repercussions were implemented, including loss of driving privileges and the impounding of vehicles.

It’s so simple: If you do the crime, you pay the fine. A $169 fine for behaviour that can cause serious injury or death is nothing but a joke and an insult to us, the ones who abide by the law. Take away their licence and car and maybe it will sink in.

I researched travelling times and did you know the average trip of a driver is 12 km? Are people’s lives so infused with and dependent upon the cellphone that they can’t put it away for 30 to 40 minutes? That’s a sad indict-ment on our society.Neil Swanson, Coquitlam

Pitt Meadows stickup follows PoCo pickup

CRIME

A cab ride on the weekend that started in Port Coquitlam ended with the driver being threatened with a handgun, say Ridge Meadows RCMP.

The taxi driver picked up three people at 3:10 a.m. Sunday in the 2100-block of Fraser Avenue in PoCo. He dropped them off at 191 Street at 124 Avenue in Pitt Meadows but when he requested the fare be paid, one of the men produced a handgun and the

trio walked away to a group of townhouses.

Police responded with the Integrated Police Dog Services but could not locate the sus-pects.

Two of the suspects are Caucasian men in their 20s, both about 5’9” tall. One had a medium build and was wear-ing a white hoody while the other had a thin build with short, buzz-cut style hair and wearing a black hoody. The

third suspect is a Caucasian woman in her 20s, about 5’9” tall with a heavy build and wearing a black hoody.

Anyone with information is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251 and quote file number 2016-6113; or phoning Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.solvecrime.ca.

Racquet facilities getting good look in Coq.COQUITLAM RECREATION

The increasing popularity of tennis, badminton and pickle-ball has the city of Coquitlam rethinking its approach to rac-quet sports.

Staff is embarking on a study that will look at current partici-

pation rates and overall trends in order to determine what level of programming and facilities should be devoted to court sports. The strategy will also look at how Coquitlam compares to neighbouring

municipalities when it comes racquet sports.

Four years ago, a tennis fea-sibility study by the city found that 12 additional covered courts on top of the five exist-ing ones may be needed to

keep up with demand over the next 20 years. The document also noted that while the city has one of the lower courts-per-resident ratios in Metro Vancouver, the facilities were generally in better condition.

An agreement with the People’s Court, a tennis centre near the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, is also up for renewal in 2017.

Staff will begin talking to stakeholders to get feedback on

its proposals before hiring a con-sultant and bringing a draft strat-egy forward to council. Between $20,000 and $30,000 has been allocated for the project.

Court decision on Shawnigan soil won’t affect PCT – for now

PORT MOODY WATERFRONT

PCT sent its last load to Van. Island late last yearSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

A B.C. Supreme Court de-cision barring a Vancouver Island facility from accepting any more contaminated soil won’t affect Port Moody’s Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT).

The decision, which con-curred with the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s position that the South Island Resource Management facility at Shawnigan Lake contravened zoning bylaws, included an injunction bar-ring any further importing of

contaminated soil.PCT, which had trucked

about 80,000 tonnes of con-taminated soil to the facility to make way for its potash expan-sion, delivered the last load late in 2015.

Wade Leslie, PCT’s vice-president and general man-ager, confirmed the company no longer needs to remove any soil from the site, saying that phase of the project is com-plete.

But a second court ruling could put PCT and other com-panies that have delivered con-taminated soil to the site on the hook for removing it.

Sonia Furstenau, the elected Area Director for Shawnigan Lake, said they’re awaiting the decision from a 21-day judicial review of the B.C.

Environmental Appeal Board’s decision to uphold SIRM’s permit from the Ministry of Environment. That hearing wrapped up in February.

“One of the reliefs sought there is for the companies to remove soil that’s been brought in,” Furstenau said.

South Island Resource Management said in a state-ment it is complying with the decision and the property owner, Cobble Hill Holdings, is considering an appeal.

“It is important to under-stand this decision deals with only one aspect of our opera-tion,” SIRM said. “We continue to operate the mine and man-age the material already on the site.”

Meeting on agricultural land next week in PoCo

PORT COQUITLAM

New rules that affect how farmland in Port Coquitlam can be used will be the topic of discussion at a meeting next week.

Municipal staff want the public’s feedback on how a se-ries of new provincial and city regulations will affect owners of agricultural property.

PoCo is looking to revamp its policies to be more in line with the updated Agricultural Land Commission Act, which now allows for bigger retail stores

and more processing uses on site, among other things.

The amended provincial regulation, which came into ef-fect last year, also permits me-dicinal marijuana production, food and beverage services and sales for wineries, cider-ies and breweries, and clarity around the size of residential homes.

PoCo has about 568 acres of farm land in the northeast re-gion, mostly used for grass for forage and blueberries.

The public consultation will also include a talk about future land uses around the new Fremont connector.

• The open house is on Wednesday, March 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Hyde Creek rec-reation centre (1379 Laurier Ave., PoCo). Property owners can also take a survey online at portcoquitlam.ca/aglands or email [email protected].

European chafer beetle grubs in a decaying log.TODD MAJOR PHOTO

Ladies and gentlemen, the beetles

CHAFER BEETLES

Yard care tips from a horticulturistTODD MAJORSPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Has your lawn been visited by the beetles lately?

The European chafer beetle, also known as Rhizotrogus majalis in Latin, has become a serious pest throughout the Lower Mainland and certainly in the Tri-Cities. City boule-vards and residential lawns are suffering an ongoing infesta-tion that has steadily grown in magnitude since importation of the beetle from eastern Canada in 2001.

In other regions of North

America, chafer beetles eat various plants, including veg-gies, perennials, shrubs and several tree species.

In our region, chafers will eat other plants, including nursery stock, veggies and or-namental plants. But our west coast chafers prefer to dine on the abundance of lush green grass.

Before I talk about specific symptoms or control, it is important to understand that control of any single pest infes-tation in the garden must be balanced by principles of sus-tainability and an understand-ing of the impact such controls will have on the environment, human health and budgets.

As well, complete eradication of any given pest is numerically impossible, regardless of how much money is spent on con-trol measures.

The first symptom of chafer infestation is yellowing and death of grass blades as roots below are eaten by grubs (lar-vae). The more common symp-tom of torn-up pieces of lawn is caused by raccoons, crows, skunks and other animals that sense or smell the beetle larvae in the soil and dig up the lawn looking for food. Since chafer larvae live within the turf’s root zone, control is difficult. You can’t see grubs until there’s a symptom and, by then, it’s too late to do much good.

Current wisdom says let animals pick the soil clean of all grubs, thereby eliminating the pest. But you have to watch your lawn being destroyed in process.

Parasitic nematode applica-tions in mid-summer are widely used as the primary control method but that is an addiction you have to be willing to pay for and there are no guarantees.

The “preventative spray” scenario all too often sold to uninformed homeowners and property managers does not solve the problem over the long term.

Remember, numerically it is impossible to…

And summer water restric-tions in Metro Vancouver will be starting two weeks earlier this year, therefore nematode permits may be restricted at some point for water conserva-tion.

Maintaining healthy turf is a good method for prevent-ing chafer infestation. There is benefit in aerating, dethatching, topdressing and overseeding an existing lawn on an as-needed basis to improve lawn health.

But residential lawns, espe-cially front-yard lawns, do not endure enough environmental or physical stress to require annual aeration, dethatching, liming, etc. On sports fields, yes, such techniques maintain play-ability of the field surface.

Repairing or replacing the lawn is becoming part of grow-ing a lawn in a chafer’s world. And there is no magic bullet cure for chafers. Pesticides are

useless due to the grub’s depth in the soil and not knowing where the grubs are located. Pesticides also come with health risks to the environment, pets and children.

For long-term solutions, there are only two options: re-place the lawn with an alternate design feature or install artificial turf. Each option has its own costs and benefits.

Artificial turf is expensive to install but it permanently cures the problem. Lawn alternatives such as wider planting beds, hardy ground cover plantings, pathways, patios, veggie gardens and play spaces will effectively prevent chafer infestation while also increasing property value.

But choose wisely as ideas such as planting micro-clover, chamomile lawns or wildflower meadows are the stuff fairytales are made of.

Choose an option that fits your budget and suits your personal style, design sensibility and lifestyle.

Gleneagle kids will take part in fundraiser for Covenant HouseDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

A group of Gleneagle sec-ondary students will stand with homeless youth to ensure they have a life beyond the street.

Or, rather, the Coquitlam high school students will lie down on cold pavement on the night of April 5.

That’s when they will take part in Sleep Out to Help Homeless Youth — rain or shine — to raise funds for Covenant House, a program serving youth aged 16 to 24 on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

“This could be anyone — ourselves, a friend or a peer,” explained Zahra Bharucha, a member of the school’s Con X leadership team, which is or-ganizing the event.

The Grade 12 student said she believes the public largely ig-nores street youth, many of them aged-out foster kids or LGBTQ students who aren’t accepted by their family or the community. “We just want to raise aware-ness,” Bharucha added, noting that the evening is a way to share information while also raising money to pay for programs Covenant House offers.

The goal is to raise $6,000 for the agency, which was established in 1997, and the students are about 25% to-wards their target using an online fundraising website (go to: sleepoutstudentedition.kintera.org).

Covenant House spokesper-son Michelle Clausius said the help is appreciated.

“Covenant House Vancouver is so encouraged by the support we are receiving from the students at Gleneagle who are raising money and awareness for homeless and at-risk youth. The sleep-out experience provides students

with a glimpse into what it is like for our young people who through no fault of their own, find themselves homeless and alone,” Clausius said in an email to The Tri-City News.

As for the Gleneagle stu-dents who are participating, the event is a chance to show they care.

“Kids on the street go there because they don’t have any-where else to go, then some of them end up with addictions. They don’t start out that way,” Rebecca Suchodolski said.

Other students said they are looking forward to an educa-tional experience.

Adrianna Corrado said

when she joined the sleep-out last year — bedding down in a sleeping bag on cardboard — she was able to understand a little of what it must be like to be homeless and alone.

“They have no one, no fam-ily or anyone to support them,” she said.

Gleneagle teacher Adam

Hayes said the night spent out-side will be uncomfortable and students will have a chance to reflect on the experience of homeless youth. The students will also scavenge for food and watch a video about street youth.

March, a month for mysteriesTRI-CITY LIBRARIES

The British have a real knack for crime. Nothing beats a gentle murder

mystery set on the gloomy moors of Scotland or in a glitter-ing country manor during a gala ball. If you’ve tracked down clues with Maisie Dobbs, Miss Marple or Flavia de Luce, you may enjoy

these other cozy historical mys-tery series set in the U.K.

Lady Kiera Darby is no stranger to scandal. After her husband’s death, his strange and macabre obsession is exposed. He was an anato-mist who dissected bodies in his basement and forced his young, artistic wife to illustrate his findings for the medi-cal textbooks that made his reputation. When a woman is found gruesomely murdered at

her sister’s manor while she is visiting, Lady Darby is instantly suspected. She must use her hard-earned knowledge of death to clear her own name and find a ruthless killer. The Anatomist’s Wife by Anna Lee Huber is the first in a fascinat-ing series set in 1830s Scotland.

Why did the appearance of the red-headed man at the ball cause Richard Montague to call off his wedding? It should have been a happy occasion

— the young and beautiful Catherine and the respectable Mr. Montague surrounded by friends and family to celebrate their nuptials. But when a stranger interrupts their merry-making, Mr. Montague immedi-ately breaks off the engagement and disappears. Devastated, Catherine turns to her witty aunt Dido Kent to uncover the truth in Anna Dean’s Bellfield Hall.

Math, war and U.K. mysteriesTRI-CITY LIBRARIES

For those who like their mysteries to keep calm and carry on, Susan Elia MacNeal’s Second World War mystery/thriller Mr. Churchill’s Secretary will hit the spot. Adventurous American Maggie Hope wants to do her bit for the war ef-fort in London during the Blitz. Despite being a trained mathematician, she is instead relegated to being a typist and ends up serving the prime minister himself. Working at the heart of the war effort, she finds herself in a maelstrom of politics, intrigue and ro-mance, and a plot to overthrow the government and plunge England into chaos.

Five years ago in Yorkshire, Joshua Braithwaite, the thor-oughly unpleasant Master of the Mill in the small village of Bridgestead, ended his day of work, set off towards home and was never heard from again. Now, his daughter, Tabitha,

is getting married and wants to know for certain what hap-pened that dark evening. Widowed after the Great War, Kate Shackleton is at loose ends and so when Tabitha asks her to track down Braithwaite, she agrees. But can she suc-ceed where the police have failed? And there are those in Bridgestead who will stop at

nothing to keep secrets buried in Frances Brody’s Dying the Wool.

Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells are the founding (and only) members of the Wells and Wong secret detective agency at their boarding school. Thus far, their only case has been the mystery of their room-mate’s missing tie. When Hazel goes to the gym to retrieve her sweater, she stumbles on the body of a teacher. But when she returns with the headmis-tress, the body is gone. Wells and Wong are on the case! Robin Stevens’ Murder Most Unladylike is the first of a chil-dren’s series that is absolutely begging for the BBC treat-ment and is perfect for Agatha Christie fans of all ages.

Hunt down these mysteries and more at your local library.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published

on Wednesdays. Corene Maret Brown works at Port Moody Public

Library.

Heritage symposium April 16 at Evergreen

TRI-CITY HERITAGE

Coquitlam Heritage Society will host a one-day symposium that will bring together expert speakers and community leaders to discuss and develop ways to enrich the city through the sharing of heritage.

The April 16, symposium will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Evergreen Cultural Centre.

“We know this is a very ambitious project,” Coquitlam Heritage Society executive director Reg Wilford said in a press release. “Coquitlam has never hosted an event quite like this.”

Workshop speakers in-clude facilitator Tim Wills, a renowned specialist in exhibi-tion planning and visitor ex-perience; Candace Matelic, an

expert in community engage-ment and non-profit manage-ment; Theresa McKay from the Royal B.C. Museum; and city of Coquitlam archivist Emily Lonie.

The catered event will in-clude opportunities to ask the speakers questions, followed by break-out discussions.

“Bringing together heritage supporters in Coquitlam is a wonderful way to enrich our community. I know the symposium will excite partici-pants about the possibilities for heritage interpretation and community engagement in Coquitlam,” Wilford said. “We see it creating momentum for heritage development in the city.”

He said the symposium is

structured to be interactive and will encourage participants to exchange ideas and informa-tion that support the colourful and vibrant city heritage.

“The city’s 125th is the time to imagine the future of heri-tage in Coquitlam,” “We want to look at the stories that are critical for Coquitlam, as well as the importance of heritage,” said Wilford.

Registration is available at www.coquitlamsymposium.com or in person at Mackin House Museum.

Admission — which in-cludes lunch, snacks and bev-erages — is $32.50 per person or with a group rate of five tick-ets for $125. Early registration is encouraged as attendance is limited to 120.

Science Expo at CPLCOQUITLAM LIBRARY

To celebrate the Coquitlam’s 125th birthday, Coquitlam Public Library is hosting a Science Expo that will feature more than $2,000 in prizes.

Scheduled for Thursday, May 12, the Expo is open to students from Grades 3 to 12 who live or go to school in Coquitlam.

Students will compete in four categories: Elementary (Grades 3 to 5), middle (Grades 6 to 8), Junior (Grades 9 and 10) and Senior (Grades 11 or 12). Students can either compete on their own or in teams of two

for awards including trophies, medals and cash prizes.

Broken into two categories — experiments and innova-tions — the science projects will involve some collaboration be-tween students and teachers.

Currently, Expo organizers are looking for students who want to show their stuff. Any students interested in joining the Expo must find a teacher to sponsor them and submit two forms: a registration form for their project, as well as a consent form allowing them to participate. The registration

deadline is 5 p.m. on April 1.Including set-up, public

viewing and judging, the Expo will run from 3 to 8:30 p.m. on May 12 in the City Centre ranch, 1169 Pinetree Way. The Expo is a partnership between the library, School District 43, Douglas College and Coquitlam 125.

You can find copies of forms and full details about the Expo at www.coqlibrary.ca/sci-expo.

Anyone with questions about the Expo can contact li-brarian Chris Miller at 604-554-7339 or [email protected].

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWSPort Moody artist Kimberly Blackstock is the current exhibiting artist at the Vancity credit unioh branch in Suter Brook, Port Moody. Branch manager Cristina Pereira (right) proposed to the Port Moody Arts Centre to use the credit union as a satellite gallery.

Credit union doubles as galleryVISUAL ARTS


Cristina Pereira wanted a way to push the envelope in the City of the Arts.

The branch manager of Vancity Suter Brook in Port Moody, Pereira had a busy, central space to run her finan-cial institution.

She also had lots of natural light streaming through the window into the West Coast-styled business as well as neu-tral walls — a perfect environ-ment for a satellite gallery, she thought.

About a year-and-a-half ago, she approached Janice Cotter, the curator for the Port Moody Arts Centre, and proposed her

idea. “I knew we had an ideal location and it would attract a lot of attention with our mem-bers,” Pereira remembered.

Her first exhibiting artist was Jeff Wilson, a Scottish-Canadian painter who, by chance, she had just learned of his work. Pereira was overjoyed to have him selected as her debut artist as his new collec-tion on Vancouver heritage neon signs was the talk of the town. Indeed, his artwork was a big draw for Vancity and it convinced Pereira she was on the right track. Next up were displays by paint-ers Jane Appleby and Agata Teodorowicz, both of whom teach at the arts centre.

The fourth and latest show,

which went up March 11, is called Bottle and Brush by Port Coquitlam painter Kimberly Blackstock, who is on the arts centre faculty. Her original artwork has brought in positive feedback for its experimental designs and bright colours. “It’s an incredible series,” Pereira said. “Everything is just so mesmerizing. I adore it.”

Installation of the exhibits is kept at a minimum so staff and customers are not bothered, Pereira said. Cotter and the chosen artist visit each room in the Brew Street credit union to assess the allocated spaces.

Once up, each piece is labelled with a sticker at the bottom showing its title, mea-surements and price; however,

if someone wants to buy it, the branch stays out of any deal: All transactions must be pro-cessed through the arts centre.

For her part, Blackstock loves her art is being seen in an unconventional space.

“Some people are intimi-dated to go into galleries,” she said, “so this makes it acces-sible to the general public.”

Still, there are times where Pereira said she’s had to ask the public not to peek inside the glass offices while business conversations are happening.

“Even though we’re a satel-lite gallery, we’re a credit union first,” she stressed.

• Brush and Bottle runs at the Vancity Suter Brook branch until July 19.

Far from his Cuban homelandVISUAL ARTS

JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Jose Urbay is excited about the future of his homeland.

This week, U.S. President Barack Obama became the first sitting American leader to visit the country in 88 years with the aim to ease sanctions.

Urbay hopes the re-opening of the borders will only bring good to his “very poor and devastated country” — one in which he fled with his family and children eight years ago.

Born and raised in Havana City, Urbay had a wealth of creative experience to bring to Canada.

He trained in informational design, photography, illustra-tion and painting before immi-grating in 2008.

And since landing here, Urbay has studied and worked as a graphic designer; how-ever, the Surrey resident has also maintained his artistry by exhibiting in solo and group shows around Metro Vancouver.

Tomorrow (Thursday), he’ll display his latest series at the Port Moody Arts Centre called Visions from Nowhere, a show of surreal journeys that include his immigration to a new land.

Urbay has around 23 acrylics on canvas and 20 multi-layered resin pieces on the walls — all created within the past year.

“They all refer to a place that doesn’t exist but in my mind,” he wrote in an email to The Tri-City News last week.

Dreams, memories, myths and legends from his Cuban homeland — mixed with fan-tasy and surreal worlds — form

his inspiration, he said. As well, Urbay tends to look

for symbols to express his physical transition.

At home in Cuba, Urbay was brought up around musicians and artists; as a result, work and play were given equal

time, he said.Over the years, he exhibited

his work in Havana, Madrid, New York, Brussels and around Metro Vancouver and, today, some of his work is held in pri-vate collections in the U.S. and Norway.

Last year, Urbay showed his mixed media at the Port Moody Arts Centre as part of a group show called Art 4 Life.

It was then that he fell in love with the St. Johns Street space and was encouraged by curator Janice Cotter to put in a proposal.

With Visions from Nowhere, Urbay hopes to take viewers into a world “full of creatures, symbols and metaphors” of his journey as an artist.

• Also opening at PMAC Thursday night is Life In Colour by Claire Sower (3D Gallery) and The Animation Art of IGS by Irina Golina Sagatelian (Suncor Gallery). All three shows run until April 21. The opening reception goes from 6 to 8 p.m. at 2425 St. Johns St., Port Moody. The artists will be in attendance and snacks will be served. Visit pomoarts.ca.

BAGPIPE lessoNs from a sCoTsmaN One half of a Juno-nominated duo will be at the Port Moody Arts Centre next month to teach bagpipe tricks to intermediate players.

Scottish native Alan MacLeod, who in 1993 was up for a Juno with Bill Bourne in the Best Roots or Traditional Album category, leads a three-hour class April 16.

MacLeod will accept up to 20 students for the session that will largely focus on folk music and tempos. Participants are asked to bring their own bagpipes, sheet music and practice chanter.

A New Westminster resident, MacLeod is a former world juvenile piping champion who was with the Tannahill Weavers, a Scottish band that became known for changing the sound of Scottish traditional music by including the Great Highland Bagpipe music (on Saturday, MacLeod will perform an exhibi-tion set at the BC Pipers’ Association annual gath-ering in Surrey).

Visit pomoarts.ca to sign up for his class.

Artist looking glass of CoquitlamVISUAL ARTS


If you’re a long-time Coquitlam resident, it’s likely you’ve never seen the city quite like Zebulon Zang.

A Dr. Charles Best secondary graduate, Zang is presenting his first solo show in the art gal-lery at the Evergreen Cultural Centre this and next month.

No Name Creek is a curious exhibit from start to end, one that highlights the often-ne-glected — and ironic — spaces in between the industrial, commercial and residential zones, predominately set in his stomping grounds of Maillardville.

His narrative starts with a massive photo of No Name Creek, its sign and riparian greenery. Zang found the area years ago and it intrigued him that the unidentified water-course was close to a major big box grocery store, known for its blatant branding.

To bring life to his beloved anonymous space, Zang beau-tified the massive photograph with real blackberry plantings at its base as well as reclaimed ceramic bowls filled with water and a light box to nourish them.

Blackberries themselves play a major role in Zang’s display.

The fruit-bearing plant,

which is common in Coquitlam, has resilience — much like the city Zang interprets. “It’s the only fruit-bearing plant found on every continent,” he said during a tour of his show last Friday. “That’s got to count for some-thing.”

Through a door that he salvaged from a Maillardville teardown home, viewers enter a hallway with a spotlight on a glass-encased, bronze-cast bowl of Himalayan blackber-ries, an invasive species.

Zang treats his bowl of fermented blackberries like

a relic — similar in style to how Europeans showcase the bones of saints: In sacred empty rooms where silence prevails.

Here, Zang wants to put weight on the process of change, much like how Coquitlam is developing.

The hallway leads to a third room where industry takes precedence. In a way, he pays homage to Fraser Mills by pho-tographing the ever-changing landscape. The first image is an abstract diagram of what it means to exist in the city, Zang said.

Next up is a hot-metal typeset, used in the press, that reads (backwards) True Photograph Of. The lead letters are now pressed into the wall from people who have touched it since the exhibit opened March 5. “I like to think that every photo dreams to be true and real,” he said.

Beside it is a video of a flame, in which the viewer has to peep through the wall.

Five panel vista shots follow, with images of pavement tar fill-ins on top; Zang liked the idea of interrupting the im-ages. “They’re like hieroglyphs

on the road,” he said, adding, “Coquitlam sells itself as a natural forested land but it’s so untrue. We are very much car centric. We need roads to con-nect us to the nature.”

Zang also created a kind of living room — complete with a recycled couch from Craigslist and a hand-carved bench from a Christmas tree he cut down from his backyard — for view-ers to watch his city symphony-genre flick.

In the one-hour movie, Zang documents a house being torn down in Coquitlam and other modern scenes happening in his concrete/natural jungle.

Finally, in his last room, he positions two images to repre-sent pieces of local history.

Zang, who last showed at Evergreen in 2008 as part of the annual Emerging Talent display for School District 43 Grade 12 art students, said No Name Creek took about 18 months to complete.

And he hopes viewers will understand his version of Coquitlam’s idiosyncratic per-sonality: one in which there are identity and cultural crises as the city struggles to move into its modern suburb status — with plenty of juxtapositions laid bare.

• No Name Creek runs at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) until April 24.

Shallon Olsen has a couple of new items to add to the trophy case this week.

The Coquitlam gymnast who trains with Omega Gymnastics vaulted to a gold medal show-

ing at the International Gymnix Competition in Montreal, scor-ing 14.125 points in the senior cup finals. In the floor finals, she also earned a bronze medal with a 13.975.

Sibling skiers make their mark at Coast Zone U10

ON THE SLOPES

Michaela Parilak takes silver in glalom ski race GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam skier Michaela Parilak carved up the slopes during the Coast Zone U10 race, taking silver in a racing event that saw clubs from across the Lower Mainland compete at Hemlock Mountain last week.

The Tri-City athlete, who trains with the Hemlock Ski Team, finished second in the glalom race among the 80 racers that participated from

Cypress, Grouse and Mount Seymour Ski Team.

She also competed in the

obstacle course, finishing fourth in the event, which featured a couple of 360-de-

gree turns, giving the athletes an opportunity to test their skills.

Parilak was not the only PoCo athlete to compete at the Coast Zone U10 race.

Her sibling, Oliver Parilak, was also on the hill, taking seventh in the under-seven glalom race and sixth in the obstacle course.

Other Hemlock Ski Team athletes also made the podium, including under-six glalom racers Matea Hadzimusic, who won bronze, Syler Farrer, who took gold, Jonas Pecenka, who took silver, and Bodie Sewell who took bronze.

[email protected] @TriCityNews

They were joined on the podium by Bryony Mackinder, who won a silver, Tianna Dattilo, who also took a silver, Savannah Holman, who took gold, and Lora

Harter who won bronze. Meanwhile, 10 Aviva

gymnasts competed for a provincial title at the KGTC Invitational in Kamloops last weekend.

Jasmine Parhar took sil-ver in women’s level three

double mini trampoline, while Jordyn Byer took silver in women’s level two trampoline. Matthew Cardoso also made the podium, taking bronze in men’s level two double mini trampoline.

The Aviva team is now gearing up to compete at the B.C. Championships, which will be hosted by Flip City at the Langley Events Centre Field House next month.
