‘I could feel her, I was waiting for her, waiting for her to do it,’ says bear’s victim
By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
A day after being attacked by a bear nearhis Anmore home, Ken Hogue was able tojoke with his neighbours about the harrow-ing incident and expressed sadness that his200 lb. adversary had to be killed.
The only reason the mother bear didn’teat him, Hogue speculated, was that hedidn’t taste good without ketchup.
But during the Monday morning incidentin Countryside Village near Buntzen Lake,Hogue feared for his life when the black bearran at him, prompting him to dive down an embankment.
“I just came upon it and, boom, all of a sudden it came atme,” Hogue recalled.
He was just 500 feet from his house, walking along the tree-lined residential street with his shih tzu dog Shelby, whenhe spotted a bear embroiled in an aggressive encounter withanother neighbour’s dog.
The bear saw Hogue and began running toward him, bowl-ing over his little dog and leaping down the embankmentafter him.

“I fell and hit my head on a rock and sheswiped me on my right arm,” he said.
He then lay still for several momentswhile the animal pressed against him andhe wondered why it didn’t finish him off — afriend’s father was killed and partially eatenby a bear a few years ago and Hogue wassure he was going to meet the same fate.
“I could feel her, I was waiting for her,waiting for her to do it,” Hogue said. Heeven turned his face away to avoid what hethought was inevitable.
It was a terrible moment but, at the time,Hogue said, he was more worried about hisdog.
After what seemed like several minutes,the bear walked up the embankment but itkept turning back to look at Hogue, who wastrapped and bleeding. Thinking the bruinwas far enough away to take action, Hoguegrabbed his dog and tried to climb the em-bankment.
But Shelby broke loose and the bearcharged after them again.
But a neighbour came upon the scene inhis car and honked the horn to scare thebear off. Hogue climbed into the man’s carand they called 911. BC Ambulance paramed-ics responded and Hogue was taken to EagleRidge Hospital, where his head and armwere bandaged and he was sent home.
While he was gone, the BC ConservationOfficer Service and RCMP interviewed wit-nesses and after deciding the bear was athreat to the safety of residents and visitorsin the area, shot and killed the bruin with asingle shot from a shotgun. According to apolice statement, the bear ran into the bushesand was found dead a short time later.
As well, nearby Buntzen Lake was shutdown as officers tranquillized three cubsthat were hiding in a tree.
A conservation officer told The Tri-CityNews that garbage likely attracted the bear,which had been a familiar sight in themanufactured home park for the past sev-eral weeks. Several garbage cans had beenknocked over as evidence, said RCMP Const.Chris Doyle.
Returning to the scene the followingmorning, Hogue said he was right underthe tree the bear cubs had climbed when he
was attacked.When asked to identify the
bear, which had a yellow tagin its ear, an indication that ithad been relocated previously,Hogue said he felt sad and hehopes the strata council follows through onplans to distribute animal-resistant bins topark residents to reduce garbage problems.
But he doesn’t blame anyone for the inci-
dent and loves the area wherehe has lived with his wife forseven years.
“It was a fluke,” he said. “Ijust happened upon it and itwas a bad situation.”
Meanwhile, the cubs have reportedly beentaken to Critter Care, a mammal rehabilita-tion centre in Langley.

The lawyer representing Cory Sater,the Coquitlam man charged with killingLorraine Cruz and Charlene Reaveley inan alleged hit-and-run crash on LougheedHighway in February, appeared in PortCoquitlam provincial court Monday.
The provincial court judge, the Crown
prosecutor and Sater’s law-yer, Tony Serka, met onlybriefly, however, as Serkaprotested that he is stillawaiting evidence from theCrown.
“We’ve been waiting sinceMarch 24th for the accidentreconstruction report, whichis done but not signed off on,” Serka said.
The Crown prosecutor ac-knowledged Serka’s claim,saying, “We’re just not thereyet.”
Both sides agreed to recon-vene Aug. 29 to set a date fortrial, by which time Serkashould be familiar with thepolice’s reconstruction of the
alleged crime scene, the lawyers agreed.
Sater, 37, faces 10 charges for the allegedhit-and-run deaths of Reaveley and Cruz,including two counts of impaired driv-ing causing death, leaving the scene ofan accident, and one count of impaireddriving causing bodily harm for the inju-ries sustained by Cruz’s boyfriend, PauloCalimahin, who was also struck in thecrash.

Anmore looking to tighten up on trash
By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Anmore’s garbage bylaw will be toughenedup and residents issued with animal-resistantbins to reduce the potential for human/bearconflicts, says the village’s mayor.
Heather Anderson, who said Monday’s bearattack at Countryside Village in Anmore isconcerning, said the village council is work-ing out the final details for the new garbagesystem, which will be implemented nextspring.
“We brought it up for discussion six weeksago,” said Anderson, who said some bins arealready available for $158 and have been pur-chased by a few homeowners.
Anderson, who has young children, is con-cerned about bear activity in her neighbour-hood and purchased one of the bins herself.
“We want to eliminate the option to put out[garbage] bags, although the majority do putit out in sealed containers,” Anderson said.
The village council was also expected to dis-cuss the volunteer position of a Bear Awareco-ordinator at Tuesday’s meeting. “Anmoreresidents have lived with bears for a long time,we’re very aware of that issue,” she said.
Council has met with both Coquitlam BearAware co-ordinator Drake Stephens and PortCoquitlam Mayor Greg Moore to talk aboutmanaging animal attractants. Anmore hopesto implement a system similar to one that hasbeen in place for two years in PoCo.
Meanwhile, the private operator who col-lects Anmore’s garbage says he welcomes thepotential introduction of bear-resistant bins,even if it takes longer to pick up the waste.
“I think it’s worth the effort,” said KevinSpence, who noted animals, especially ravens,pick apart the trash and bears knock over thebins to get at the garbage.

SAFETY IN BEAR COUNTRYTri-City is bear country, so if you’re
visiting local trails or walking onrural roads, it’s best to take precau-tions. Here are some tips:
• Walk with a partner or with agroup.
• Make noise to let the bear knowyou are coming.
• Keep your dogs leashed.• If you encounter a bear, stay calm:
Stop and back up slowly; and never ap-proach a bear.

Everything from used tennisrackets to ice skates will be avail-able at the event, with proceedsgoing to help young people par-ticipate in organized sports.
With hockey season approach-ing, for instance, McDonald saida parent could equip a child fromskates to helmet and everythingin between for about $100. Barelyused soccer cleats can go for aslow as $10.
Most of the equipment comesfrom donations from local fami-lies whose kids have eitheroutgrown the gear or movedon to other sports. Some of it,McDonald said, has barely beenused and is perfect for veteransof a given sport or someone whois looking to try something new
without committing to the costof brand new equipment.
The semi-annual sales havebecome increasingly popularand are beginning to draw buy-ers from outside the community.That bodes well for the organiza-tion, which has raised more than$200,000 and helped more than1,000 kids participate in sports,according to KidSport co-chairChris Wilson.
“Sports equipment is often thehighest cost item for a familywhen signing up a child to playorganized sports,” Wilson said.“That’s why it is so importantfor us to host an event like this.We’re able to get quality, usedequipment out to the communityat amazing prices while at thesame time giving families an op-portunity to support KidSport
and get rid of the used equip-ment they don’t need any more.”
Those people with some oldhockey pads or dusty baseballcleats still have the opportunityto donate their equipment.
Collections will continue upuntil Friday, Aug. 12 at the PortMoody and Port Coquitlam recre-ation complexes. Donations canalso be made in front of the of-fices at Centennial, Riverside andGleneagle secondary schools.

Hwy. 1 changesfor King Edward overpass work
Articles by Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Drivers heading east along Highway 1 in Coquitlamwill have to veer a little to the right this week to makeway for the new King Edward Street overpass.
Starting Friday, construction crews will open thesouth detour lane while westbound highway mo-torists will see a new route start next Monday, justnorth of the viaduct.
The plan is to level the freeway bump during the12-week closure of King Edward Street to finish theoverpass between Lougheed Highway and UnitedBoulevard. Once complete in November, the over-pass will span the CP Rail tracks on King Edward,with the freeway running under it.
Mark Zaborniak, manager of design and con-struction for the city of Coquitlam, which is incharge of communications for the provincial proj-ect, said last Saturday’s closure of King Edwardwent ahead as planned.
The Monday morning commute was relativelysmooth, he said, but by the afternoon, traffic in thearea was congested as drivers came to grips withthe closure in its first week.
City staff and Kiewit/Flatiron, the contractor forthe Port Mann/Highway 1 project, are now “moni-toring the traffic patterns and adjustments will bemade over the next few days to improve the trafficflows, where possible,” Zaborniak said.
Among those improvements are changes to direc-tional signs to get to United businesses and remind-ers about new traffic flows (a third lane was addedlast Saturday for eastbound United drivers, betweenBurbidge Street and the Mary Hill Bypass; as well,the Taft Detour for United-to-westbound Highway 1drivers is open from 2 to 8 p.m.).
• For more information about the King EdwardStreet overpass work, call 604-927-3500 or [email protected]; for the Port Mann/Highway 1 project, call 1-866-999-7641.
8,400 dump truck tripsAbout 8,400 dump trucks loaded with soil will
drive up Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlamover the next year or so to fill in three propertiesnear DeBoville Slough.
Last month, Coquitlam city council unani-mously granted a conservation permit to thelandowner, One World Farms Inc., for the secondand third phases of a development that, when fin-ished, will be an equestrian-style neighbourhood.
Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s manager of develop-ment services, said a total of 85,000 cubic metresof soil will be loaded on the 13.5-hectare (33-acre)site at 4104 Cedar Dr., which is located in theAgricultural Land Reserve between Devon andFremont streets.
The trucks will access the area via CoastMeridian and the lower part of Victoria Drivein northeast Coquitlam, he said. Coquitlam cityhall has retained a $10,000 damage deposit torecover any costs to repair the roads once thework is completed. The aim is to raise the siteby two metres, up to the 100-year floodplain levelof 4.58 m, as approved by the Agricultural LandCommission. The proposed neighbourhood, if ap-proved, would include single-family homes, horsestables, a horse riding ring and exercise area foreach property, according to a city report.
Last year, the city placed a stop-work orderafter fill operations started without consent.

London, Paris, Berlin andBangkok.
And, now, Coquitlam.The latter is the latest in a list
of cities where some young peoplefrom Korea will be serving a tra-ditional dish to civic employees topromote their homeland.
To d ay ( We d n e s d ay ) , 1 0 0Bibimbap Tables hits Coquitlamcity hall — the first time the eventhas been held in Canada — and it’scoming thanks to the efforts of SamSeo, a Tri-City resident. Five cooksin their 20s will also serve the dishtonight in Vancouver to 100 civicemployees and dignitaries.
Bibimbap is a bowl of white ricetopped with sautéed and seasonedvegetables and chilli pepper paste;a raw or fried egg and sliced meatare sometimes added. The food tobe served today was to be preparedyesterday in a church kitchen.
To date, the cooks have preparedbibimbap at 44 locations, includingLondon, Paris, Madrid, New Delhi,Calcutta, Bangkok and Berlin aspart of a marketing campaign bythe Korean Food Foundation andMinistry for Food, Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries of Korea.Their aim is to highlight nextyear’s Korean Expo as well asthe 2018 Winter Olympic Gamesin Pyeongchang (last month,
Korea was named host countryby the International OlympicCommittee).
“We want to promote Koreaand invite the world, especiallyto these events,” said Seo, a mem-ber of the Tri-Cities’ Chamberof Commerce who organized themeal in Coquitlam’s council cham-bers because of his connectionwith Mayor Richard Stewart.
Last fall, Stewart and city man-ager Peter Steblin toured Koreaand China to get the word outabout the city to business peopleand high school students there.Also on the two-week trip wasKorean-Canadian businessmanKen Beck Lee, a former federalLiberal candidate who was instru-mental in setting up a sister cityrelationship between Coquitlamand Paju, Korea, in 2009. LastSaturday, the 10th annual KoreanFestival was held in Coquitlam, at-tracting thousands of spectators.
The 100 Bibimbap Tables globaltour ends in December.

Coquitlam manconvicted of one act of mischief
By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Coquitlam manaccused of keying 43cars — but who was sen-tenced to a single countof mischief — had hisappeal dismissed lastmonth.
Soo Yo Kim has al-ready served a one-daysentence but sought toreduce his three-yearprobation and vary hisconditions, which hesaid are too strict anddo not allow him to at-tend church activities.
The B.C. Court ofAppeal disagreed, say-ing the period of proba-tion and the terms im-posed were satisfactorygiven the fact Kim hadbeen charged with simi-lar crimes before.
Kim was sentencedto one year probation in2006 over a case the sen-tencing judge said wasidentical to his latest
conviction. He was alsoconvicted of shopliftingfrom a Save-On-Foodsstore in 2009.
“Clearly, the priorprobation period of oneyear had been insuf-
ficient to dissuade Mr.Kim from a repetitionof the conduct,” JusticeChristopher Hinksonwrote in his reasons forjudgment. “In focusingon the public need for
protection, the judgeconcluded that [Kim’s]personality was suchthat he was unlikely torefrain from the samekind of conduct forwhich he was sentencedif left unsupervised.”
As part of his proba-tion, Kim must resideat his parent’s home inCoquitlam and has a 6a.m. to 10 p.m. curfewunless travelling to andfrom work or with a par-ent. He must regularlyreport to a probation of-ficer and must stay outof all Save-On-Foodsstores.
Kim was arrested in2008 after Vancouverpolice, acting on a tip,watched a suspectnear E. 6th Avenueand Renfrew Streetin Vancouver until he
keyed a vehicle. Policeapproached him but thesuspect took off. He waslater tracked down withthe help of a police dog.
Kim was chargedwith 43 counts of mis-chief but was acquittedon all but one count.Investigators believedat the time that Kimmay have had a grudgeagainst ICBC.
In 2005, Kim was alsocharged with 27 countsof mischief in connec-tion with a rash of key-ings in Burnaby butwas later convicted onjust two counts and sen-tenced to a year’s proba-tion.
Vandal’s sentence is upheld

A high-voltage transmission tower across the Fraser River from Coquitlam in Surrey is being shored up following a power outage last month.
Listen up: Pile-driving to stabilize hydro tower
By Jeff NagelBLACK PRESS
If you hear hammering on a hugescale this week, this is what’s happen-ing:
BC Hydro crews are driving pilesnext to a high-voltage transmissiontower along the Fraser River in Surreythat was destabilized by high water inJune.
The same erosion by the rivercaused a nearby tower supporting adifferent power line to fall July 4, trig-gering a large-scale power outage andforcing the closure of the Port MannBridge and other roads near the CapeHorn interchange in Coquitlam, wherewires were dangling dangerously.
Workers will drive eight 100-foot-long steel piles 36 feet into the riverbed around the footings of the leaningtower. Rip rap has been placed to shoreup the base of the tower over the pastthree weeks. The pile-driving will runfrom 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. until Aug. 12.
Once finished, support beams willbe built to form a new foundation forthe tower, which will be straightened.
Hydro has so far been using guywires to hold up the leaning tower.Both sets of power lines remain de-energized.
BC Hydro has yet to say how it willdevise a permanent solution to repairand re-power the 230- and 500-kilovolttransmission lines.

VICTORIA
B.C.’s job market heldsteady in July, withunemployment at 7.3%.
The latest Statistics Canada jobdata were released as global fi-nancial markets teetered on theedge of another recession.
B.C. was last reminded of its vulnerabilityto world events in late 2008 and early 2009,when financial markets froze up and govern-ments around the world started franticallyborrowing to bail out major industries.There are still idle construction cranesaround B.C., although the vital commoditymarkets have recovered.
It was the sickening skid in provincial rev-enues, which began to reveal itself duringthe 2009 election campaign, that triggeredthe B.C. government’s panicked grab for theharmonized sales tax and its transition fund.If blame is important to you, blame Stephen
Harper for the HST but please don’t believeBill Vander Zalm and the NDP when theyclaim it was merely a political plot coveredup with lies.
The truth is much scarier than the scaretactics of these political opportunists.
Globalization isn’t optional and thereare lots of countries out there ready to beatus up and take our lunch money if we givethem half a chance.
The Canadian and U.S. central banks haveheld interest rates near zero since the crisis.If something more goes wrong, they are “outof bullets,” as economists say.
Here’s another economic fact about theyear 2011. For the first time in Canadian his-tory, the majority of people with employer-supported pensions now work for govern-ment or its agencies rather than the privatesector.
Despite all the political blather aboutleft and right, more spending versus less,government keeps growing. That’s true forCanada and for B.C., where governmentgrew every year of the allegedly tight-fisted
reign of Gordon Campbell.There has been lots of bleating about
HST on adult-sized clothing for children.Claiming your hubby’s clothes are actuallyfor a bulky child may be the oldest scam insales tax evasion.
This is an example of what econo-mists call the paradox of public finance.Economists like consumption taxes becausethey’re difficult to avoid. Many taxpayersdislike them for the same reason.
This is the road that leads to Greece,where tax evasion is considered a civil right,along with fat pay and pensions. The samepopulation expects to go to university at lit-tle or no cost until they’re 30 and then retireat 55, with the whole apparatus somehowheld up by the dwindling band of workers inbetween.
The latest contract demands of the BCTeachers’ Federation give a sense of theirGreece-like isolation from reality. Lengthypaid leaves, yet more paid professional de-velopment days, oh, and a double-digit wageincrease after the rest of the public service
has accepted zero.I attended the recent BCTF convention in
Victoria where this entitlement culture wason display. During a news conference aboutthe BCTF’s many demands, someone stoodbehind Education Minister George Abbottand held up a sign for TV cameras that de-manded “No Tankers.” This was no campusradical slipped in from the street. It was amiddle-aged BCTF delegate, one of manydecrying the industrial economy we need topay for their pensions.
B.C. aspires to be a shipbuilding economybut it can’t do shipping? According to ourpublic sector union elites, we’re too preciousto allow oil tankers in B.C.?
Apparently, some have still failed to no-tice that oil tankers have been going up anddown the coast for decades, and back andforth under the Lion’s Gate Bridge for years.

Not an islandAugust is sometimes seen as a summer doldrumsAAperiod but such has not been the case on worldAAeconomic markets, with stock markets in free fall,AAcommodity prices crashing and the U.S. debt being down-graded for the first time in history.
Canadians may believe they are somewhat insulatedfrom all these troubles. After all, our housing market hasstayed strong, the banking system is sound, the Canadiandollar has been above par with the U.S. buck for monthsand Canada has an enormous store of resources the worldneeds.
Canada does have many advantages but it is far fromimmune from the ills that afflict our neighbours.
As Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said last Friday, be-fore Monday’s major sell-offs: “Canada is not an island. Weare a trading nation, with about a third of output gener-ated by exports and deep linkages with the U.S. economy.The global economic recovery remains fragile and thisuncertainty may eventually impact Canada.”
The softness of the economy can be seen in many areas.High gas prices all this year have affected consumerspending. Governments at all levels continue to wantmore tax dollars (including more gas tax) from taxpayers,most of whom are making no more than they were threeyears ago.
These and other factors have kept people from spendingmoney the way they did in the mid-2000s. Money isn’t aseasy to come by and there is no sign that good times arecoming anytime soon.
There is no doubt the economy is changing and where itis going is hard for anyone to predict. But all of us are partof a global economy that has been hit by many challengesin recent years, from the U.S. sub-prime mortgage mess toEuropean governments being unable to pay their debts.
More of these types of unexpected occurrences willcome along and Canada will have to deal with the falloutas it affects businesses and individuals here.
All of it can be overwhelming, yet at the same time thereis room for optimism. Canadians have weathered difficulttimes in the past and Canadian attributes of hard work,caution and innovation can come to the forefront again.
But that is no reason for Canadians not to proceed witha great deal of concern.

TRI-CITYCITYTRI-CITY LETTERSYYYYGreen responseThe Editor,
Re. “Green Party gets lost in static over smart me-ters” (BC Views, The Tri-City News, Aug. 3).
Columnist Tom Fletcher is correct: The 2009 BCGreens’ platform had a timeline that included hydrosmart metering by 2012. We did not recommendwireless meters because, as Fletcher mentioned, wehave precautionary policy on EMF radiation.
Our policy was revised in 2010. The initiatives wewanted implemented prior to new meters — feed-intariffs, time-of-day pricing and regional manage-ment boards — were not in progress at the end of2009 so the timeline for smart metering was elimi-nated.
Without being tied to substantial energy conser-vation, BC Hydro’s smart meter program is simplya different and more expensive way to collect data.A billion dollars invested in conservation and en-ergy retrofits, diversifying to renewable energy orany number of priorities should precede changingmeters.
Fletcher may dismiss health concerns associatedwith WiFi but people have a right to feel safe andhealthy in their own homes. Those who chose notto use wireless technology should not be forced todo so.
As I said at the news conference, wireless smartmeters are a technological solution looking fora problem. With shrewd marketing, the compa-nies that developed wireless smart meters havebecome wealthy with sole-source contracts fromgovernment after government. At some point, givendeficits and debt load, we will need to reverse thedecision-making process so that long-term plans ac-tually precede implementation of new technology.
Other jurisdictions are putting moratoriums onor cancelling the installation of smart meters. Weare recommending BC Hydro listen to valid privacy,security and health concerns and change course.Jane Sterk, Leader, Green Party of BC
No parkingThe Editor,
Re. “It’s Coast Meridian Highway” (Letters,The Tri-City News, Aug. 5).
As someone who has lived for decades offthe top end of Coast Meridian Road, I am dis-mayed at the traffic mess at the Prairie Avenue/Coast Meridian intersection and avoid travellingthat route whenever possible, thus robbing PortCoquitlam businesses of my shopping dollars.
In reference to the complaint in Fay Wright’sletter: There may be signs prohibiting parkingalong Coast Meridian but these are frequently— and seemingly without penalty from PoCocity staff — ignored. Street parking in front ofthe strip mall and bank just north of Salisburyis particularly annoying; during weekday day-light hours, there are always one to four vehiclesparked on a section of street clearly marked with“no stopping” signs.
It seems that scofflaws win in this instanceand right-turning vehicles have to squeeze by asthey can.Maggie Fankboner, Coquitlam

Voting machine fight gets ugly in AnmoreVillage councillor is expected to be censured for ‘disrespect-ful’ comments to colleagues
By Todd CoyneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
An Anmore village councillor was expectedto be censured for harassment Tuesday nightafter an argument with the mayor over auto-mated voting machines brought accusations ofbullying and impropriety, and a visit from theRCMP.
“I believe the censure will be supportedby the majority of council,” Mayor HeatherAnderson told The Tri-City News on Monday.s
The blow-up happened on the morning ofJuly 20 at a special council meeting called toadopt a bylaw to allow the use of automatedballot-counting machines in Anmore’s Nov. 19municipal election.
An audio transcript from that meeting showsthe argument between Mayor Anderson andCoun. Mario Piamonte began when Piamontetried to give his reasons for rejecting the bylawbefore the vote was taken. What the recordingdoesn’t show, according to the mayor, is thetirade of offensive language that Piamonte al-legedly hurled at her and another councillorimmediately following the meeting.
Piamonte admitted yesterday to “saying
things that were inappro-priate” in the mayor’s com-pany but noted that he sentwritten apologies to themayor and council on theFriday following the meet-ing. Despite the apologies,however, Piamonte receiveda phone call from the RCMPthat Friday evening sayinga complaint had been lodgedagainst him, and a policevisit to his Anmore home would be necessary toclear up the matter.
“We just talked about it and I played him thetape of the meeting and that was it,” he said ofthe visit from the Mounties.
Foremost among Piamonte’s initial concernswith the bylaw are what he said were the un-necessary costs of renting the automated vot-ing machines for a municipality as small asAnmore.
“We did a polling of like-sized communi-ties,” Piamonte told his fellow councillors atthe meeting. “Harrison Hot Springs, they don’t[use voting machines]. Bowen Island has nointention of doing it. Lions Bay, no intention.Cumberland, no intention.
“The only one that has the intention of doingit is Chase, B.C. but they found that it cost them$2,000 more than their normal budget.”
Village documents put the cost of renting thetwo required voting machines at $3,900, a price
Howard Carley, Anmore’schief administrative officer,said is roughly on par withthe normal cost of hiringballot counters.
Piamonte also expressedconcern at the meeting thatthe voting machine bylawhad not been made public oreven available to council inthe meeting agenda on theFriday before the vote, in ac-
cordance with the village’s procedure bylaws.Anmore’s manager of corporate services,
Karen-Ann Cobb, said in the meeting thatAnmore staff had been considering using au-tomated voting machines since the 2008 electionas a time-saving measure to count the village’sestimated 750 ballots.
But when Piamonte asked Cobb why councilhad not been informed of the bylaw until theday before its reading, Cobb said she had noanswer to that.
It was then that Anderson interrupted the ex-change, accusing Piamonte of harassing staff,while Piamonte accused the mayor of bullyingcouncil.
Anderson told The News that according to theprocedural bylaw, council should have been givenmore than the 24 hours allotted to review theagenda package but added that the agenda hadto be rushed through because of provincial rulesthat all election bylaws must be set before Aug. 8.
The automated voting machine bylaw wasapproved 3-2, with the mayor and councillorsJohn McEwen and Kerri Palmer Isaak voting infavour of the motion, and councillors Piamonteand Chris Sedergreen opposed.
On July 29, Anderson wrote a letter to Coun.Piamonte informing him that a motion wouldbe brought to the Aug. 9 council meeting to cen-sure Piamonte “for his conduct towards mem-bers of council,” adding that he “has made on-going derogatory and disrespectful commentsabout and to other members of council andin particular at a meeting dated July 20, 2011,made coarse and offensive statements aboutand to members of council.”
In response, Piamonte released a statementto The Tri-City News on Monday saying, “If try-sing to get answers to questions about the newelection bylaw legislation is wrong, then I amguilty as charged. Mayor Anderson rushed thislegislation through council with flagrant disre-gard for procedural requirements. As usual, Ifully expect this [censure] to pass 3-2 with coun-cillors Isaak and McEwen rubber-stampingthe mayor’s motion to censure me for doingwhat I consider to be my duty to the people whoelected me.”
Councillors Palmer Isaak, McEwen andSedergreen could not be reached for comment.
Anmore council was due to vote on censur-ing Piamonte at last night’s council meeting,after The Tri-City News’ print deadline.’

Paré Court, off Brunette Avenue, is named after one of Maillardville’s pioneeringfamilies.
JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Council considers tribute to pioneers
C o q u i t l a m ’s t r a -di t ional ly F rench-Canadian enclave maysoon have plaques onsome of its street poststo honour the pioneerswho have roads namedafter them.
T h e c i t y ’ sM a i l l a r d v i l l eC o m m e r c i a l a n dCultural RevitalizationTask Force recentlymade the suggestion tocouncil to formally paytribute to the pioneersand their families thatsettled in the area about100 years ago and whosenames appear on streetsigns around the com-munity, including ParéCourt, Booth Avenueand Allard Street.
Emery Paré wasMaillardville’s first po-lice chief while RalphBooth was reeve from1904 to 1908 and hisdairy farm was thesite of many annualcommunity picnics;Amedée Allard, a prom-inent logger, also servedon council.
At the last land use
committee, councillorsasked city staff to workwith the MaillardvilleResidents’ Associationand the CoquitlamHeritage Society tolook at ways to publiclyacknowledge those pio-neers by, perhaps, put-ting up honour plaqueson street posts. Coun.Doug Macdonell said aregistry of street namesshowing their originsshould be created forthe entire city — notjust Maillardville.
Honour plaques onbuildings are common-place in cities with longhistories, said MayorRichard Stewart, refer-ring to his recent tripto Quebec City, so pre-serving the heritageof a city with only 100years is vital.
C i t y e n g i n e e r sare now consider-ing upgrades to all ofCoquitlam’s street signsto improve visibility, es-pecially for the agingpopulation, the taskforce [email protected]

If you’re looking for a little history this summer, you might try visiting Burnaby Village Museum (above left), where buildings and activities harken back to older, simpler times in British Columbia. For food andmuch more — including murals (above right) — you could check out The Heights, the stretch of East Hastings Street in north Burnaby around Gilmore and Willingdon avenues.
AROUND & ABOUT: Things to do this summer in Burnaby
Around & About is an occasional BlackPress summer feature offering tips forTri-City residents wishing to travel out-side their communities for day trips.
By Helen PolychronakosBLACK PRESS
Burnaby used to be known as “Thebedroom of Vancouver” but there’snothing snooze-worthy about British
Columbia’s third largest city.Italian dining, art and music, water
sports, historical sites and re-enactments,and a multi-rink sporting centre are someof the activities available to those willing tomake the short trip along the Trans-Canada,Barnet or Lougheed highways.
Why not start at the top?Appropriately named, The Heights area
of Hastings Street in north Burnaby is agreat neighbourhood for shopping, eatingand, by night, enjoying a stupendous viewof city lights. This strip along Hastings nearWillingdon Avenue has strong Italian rootsand is a gourmet haven of delis, pasta andpizza restaurants, pastry shops and, last butnot least, gelateria. Nothing says summerlike a waffle cone stacked high with multi-coloured scoops.
Art and cultural activities are also plenti-ful in Burnaby, especially in the area around
Deer Lake Park. The Shadbolt Centre, situ-ated off the Kensington exit to Canada Wayand offering free parking to its patrons, ex-hibits artists from Burnaby and also features
art, music and dance programs for kids andadults alike.
And for music lovers, don’t miss the 12thannual Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival at
Deer Lake on Aug. 13, which features singerk.d. lang, guitarist John Mayall and othergreat musicians.
Replete with a turn-of-the-centuryblacksmith, apothecary and general store,Burnaby Village Museum at Deer Lake Parkis a trip down memory lane for young andold alike.
Jumping ahead a few decades, the Williamand Ruth Baldwin House at Deer Lake,designed by Arthur Erickson in 1965, stillretains its vintage furniture from that era. Itcan be rented for weddings and all kinds ofevents, and its Japanese pond and views ofthe lake make it a perfect spot for a medita-tion retreat.
For a bit of physical exercise, the shoresat Deer Lake Park offer beautiful strollinggrounds. Canoes, kayaks and paddle boats,along with all the necessary equipment, canbe rented here.
Sports enthusiasts might also want tocheck out Eight Rinks, located off the TransCanada at (605 Sprott St.). This athletic cen-tre boasts six NHL-sized rinks, one indoorsoccer field and one figure skating rink.
And just when the calorie count enters thered zone after chasing all those pucks or per-fecting the triple axle, the Thirsty PenguinGrill boasts 1,000 seats and overlooks alleight playing fields.
Burnaby: History, arts & more

Some storytime faves
I’ve been leading children’s storytimes at theTerry Fox Library for 10 years and I’m stillhappy when it’s that time of day and I get to
walk into the story room and read to children.Over the years, I definitely have discovered my fa-vourite children’s books to read aloud to toddlersand pre-schoolers.
Is Your Mama a Llama? by Deborah Guarino is?a wonderful, rhythmic book about a young llama,Lloyd, who asks all his friends if their mamas arellamas. He discovers in rhyme that their mamasare other types of animals. Steven Kellogg’swhimsical, detailed illustrations give children aclue to the next animal. Perfect for pre-schoolersand early readers.
Owl Babies by Martin Waddell is about threelittle owls, Sarah and Percy and Bill, huddled to-gether on a branch, worried their mother will notreturn. At last, she gracefully swoops back to thenest. This story reminds children that mommyalways comes back. Stunning illustrations byPatrick Benson perfectly capture the plight of theanxious little owls.
The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry andthe Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Woodis well-known and -loved by children all over theworld. Little Mouse worries the Big Hungry Bearwill take his freshly picked, ripe, red strawberryfor himself. The Bear never makes an appearanceand the narrator convinces the Mouse that theonly way to save the red ripe strawberry from thebig hungry Bear is to “cut it in half. Share halfwith me and we’ll both eat it all up. Yum!” DonWood ‘s superb illustrations perfectly captureLittle Mouse’s efforts to save the strawberry.
Silly Sally by Audrey Wood is an all-time favou-yrite. Come along with Sally and her silly compan-ions on their backwards, upside-down journey totown: “Dance a jig with a pig. Play leapfrog witha dog. Sing a tune with a loon.” These sing-songverses are simple enough for toddlers and catchyenough for pre-schoolers. Playful illustrations willspark the imaginations of young readers. Children
love to hear this storyagain and again andsoon will be recitingthe catchy rhymes.
Whenever I readDinosaurs LoveUnderpants by ClaireFreedman at a story-time I am never sure ifit is enjoyed more bythe children or theirparents. “Dinosaurswere all wiped out, along way back in his-tory. No one knowsquite how or why. Nowthis book solves themystery...” The authormight just have theanswer: underpants.“Laugh your pantsoff “ as T. rex and thegang try to take “man’sundies” in the mightyunderpants war. Ben
Cort’s hilarious illustrations add to the rollickingfun. Dinosaurs and underpants, as far as childrenare concerned, couldn’t be any funnier.
The Seals on the Bus by Lenny Hort is ananimal-filled version of the classic children’s song“The Wheels On The Bus.” Every time the busstops, another kind of animal joins the commo-tion on the bus. Finally, a group of skunks getson and the people on the bus yell, “Help, help,help!” If You’re Happy and You Know It! by Jane!Cabrera is another animal-filled version of a well-known children’s song. Children clap along witha silly monkey and stamp with an enormous el-ephant. Both of these sing-along action books aresure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
If you are looking for more great titles, don’thesitate to ask at your public library. Librariansare always more that happy to recommend booksfor you and your little ones who love to read.
A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librariansthat is published every Wednesday. Dianne Allan
works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam’s Nancy Weng, who graduated from Pinetree secondary in June, emulates her life after Fang-Yi Sheu, a famous dancer who moved from her native Taiwan to pursue her passion. Sheu is now with theMartha Graham Dance Company in New York City.
‘I came to Canada to dance’This summer, in a series called Bright
Young Things, The Tri-City News will fea-ture students who have spent hours outside ofthe classroom to study the arts and who planto hone their creative skills after graduationto advance their careers.
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
When Nancy Weng was four, herWWmother signed her up for privateWWdance classes in her native Taiwan.WWThe pre-schooler started with ballet, then
moved to modern, Chinese traditional andjazz dance. Later, she would take hip hop andreggae.
She quit twice. The first time, her middleschool turned her down for its dance pro-gram “but I realized dance was important inmy life so I studied very hard,” she recalled.
The second time she was 16 when her highschool rejected her for its dance course. “Igot so upset. I told myself that God wants meto spend three more years.”
Her mother and studio teachers werebehind her, encouraging Weng to pursueher dream. And, so, at the age of 17, she im-migrated to Canada — along with her father,step-mother, brother, step-brother and step-sister — to find an outlet for her passion.
“I came to Canada to dance,” she said, butnoted, “it hasn’t been easy for me.”
With barely any English, Weng enrolledin Grade 10 at Pinetree secondary inCoquitlam, half way through the school year.
Drama teacher and choreographer NicoleRoberge remembered Weng as “shy, scared
and stormy but when she danced, she flew.Her talent was irrefutable and, before shecould communicate clearly in English, shewas coaching other dance students for ourrecital, using only basic counts and hermovements.”
Over the next year or so, Weng excelled inthe school’s dance, drama and musical the-atre programs and took part in school pro-ductions. In Grade 11, Weng choreographeda number for the Surreal Project 1 and, thispast year, for the Surreal Project 2.
And, as she got more comfortable on stage,her language skills also improved. This lastschool year, she was allowed to move intoregular English classes and took English11, English 12 and English Literature 12 toqualify her for post-secondary education.
But, Weng admitted, it was tough to keep
her grades up.Take her weekends, for example: After
school on Fridays, Weng bussed to Richmondto waitress from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. She stayedovernight at friend’s home in Richmond be-fore starting her next shift, from 10 a.m. to 1p.m., on Saturdays at the Stagecoach TheatreArts Schools, where she volunteered as adance assistant. She was back at the restau-rant on Saturday nights and all day Sundaysbefore returning to Coquitlam — by bus — tore-start her school week.
Homework was crammed in between.“That’s why I didn’t really do well in mycourses,” she said, crying. “I had no energy. Iwas always tired.”
Still, she needed the money for her future,to live a dancer’s life like her idol Fang-YiSheu, a Taiwanese dancer who, like Weng,
found the Asian island too small for her am-bition.
(Sheu joined the famed Martha GrahamDance Company in New York City in 1995 asan apprentice and rose to become its prin-cipal dancer two years later; she is also thefounder of the Lafa Dance Company.)
Weng credits Roberge and Natalee Fera,Roberge’s successor at Pinetree, for helpingher through this past school year. She callsboth teachers her “best friends,” especiallyfor offering a shoulder to cry on when shefelt alone and got down.
“I have come across so many kids whohave either natural talent, hardworkingdiscipline and artistic passion, but rarely doyou see all three things together in one per-son and not to the extent that Nancy Wenghas,” Fera told The Tri-City News by emaillast week. “To some, a triple threat in thetheatre is someone who can sing, dance, andact. To me, an artist that is a triple threat issomeone who has artistic talent, disciplineand passion.
“Nancy is a true triple threat,” she said.As for her next step, Weng plans to retake
English 12 to improve her grade. Though shewas recently turned down by the TorontoDance Theatre, she intends to apply for “alluniversities” in the new year so she cantrain as a professional choreographer andearn her bachelor of fine arts degree.
“I have been given so many opportunitieshere — dancing solo and creating my owndances — that I couldn’t do back home. I feelthat dancing is the only way I can expressmyself and I want to tell people what’s on mymind, to tell them a story through dance.”

Traditional Chinese & Taiwanese Cuisine
Feature Restaurant Feature Restaurant by Melanie Whittaker
We grew up with the Tri-Cities.For closing in on 2 decades, Wah Wing has been the standard set for Asian Cuisine in our area. It has been consistently voted one of the most popular eateries of any type, year after year. Now serving its 2nd generation of Tri-City residents, it’s pretty obvious they are here to stay.
As they reflect over the years, they fondly remember serving the first generation of families, whose children were in booster chairs, and are now bringing their own dates, spouses and in some cases their own children back for Wah Wing’s fabulous cuisine.
It’s this outstanding food that keeps loyal followers coming back, but the new decor makes each visit seem even more special. The freshly renovated room has been totally revamped from the new carpeting right up to the brilliant chandelier, complete with 690
sparkling crystal balls. The result is a bright, new, modern decor, but the friendly atmosphere still remains, as do the huge fish tanks with their selection of fresh seafood.
The gracious staff still treat each visitor to the restaurant like royalty. A table for 1, 2, 10 or more; each is equally important and will receive the utmost in service. Believe me, none will go hungry. They specialize in large parties. Just let them know when and how many and they’ll take care of the rest! From appetizers and soup, to main course dishes and dessert, everything is perfectly presented and your guests will be delighted. What a great idea for any kind of get together or celebration.
Still, it is the food that makes a restaurant and Wah Wing has received great reviews from all lovers of scrumptious Chinese cuisine
Lunches are also great at Wah Wing. The Dim Sum is fabulous and available daily at a very reasonable price.
Speaking of prices, Wah Wing’s have not changed in 16 years! How’s that for a price freeze! Thank you to everyone at Wah Wing for 16 years of excellence in Asian food and hospitality.

Positive art for teen contestSharpen your pencils, Tri-City teens: A new art
contest promoting pop culture and positive messag-ing is underway this week in Port Coquitlam.
Applicants have until Friday to submit theirsketches — showing images such as celebrities,skateboarding and television programs — to Ink& Honey Tattoo Shop (4-1449 Prairie Ave., PortCoquitlam).

The idea for “Pop Culture, Positive Art” camefrom Melanie Prokop of POP! Skateboarding, who’s
contracted by the city of Port Coquitlam to pro-gram activities at RailSide skateboard park.
“This is all about giving youth opportunities toexpress themselves artistically at a high-profileevent,” PoCo youth co-ordinator Russ Brummersaid in a news release.

By Larry PrunerTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies are putting up the fight of their lives and it’s still not enough to take the punch out of the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs.
The defending Minto Cup-champion Jr. A’s scored five goals on just nine shots in the second period to fend off the Jr. ’Bellies 10-7 Monday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league playoff final series.
Game 4 goes tonight (Wednesday) at Queen’s Park Arena, with Game 5 slated for Thursday back in Coquitlam. The series win-ner will represent B.C. at this year’s Minto Cup tournament in Okotoks, Alta.
The Jr. A’s snapped a 1-1 deadlock after
the first period by out-scoring New West 9-6 the rest of the way, keyed by four goals from Ben McIntosh. Other Coquitlam marksmen were Ryan Johnson, Travis Cornwall, Patrick Omeara, Kevin Neufeld, Chancy Johnson and Jackson Decker, who added four assists. Brandon Bertoia supplied three helpers for the winners.
“Lacrosse is a momentum game and it can swing at any time,” said Jr. A’s veteran Michael Krgovich, who assisted on Johnson’s second-period goal as Coquitlam erupted for five goals in a 3:22 span to take a 6-1 margin before the Jr. ’Bellies started to claw back. “The other team is going to score goals, it’s just a matter of how you handle it and I thought we did that well. I’m proud of the way we played.”
New West actually out-shot the Jr. A’s 43-30, with Coquitlam goalie Steve Fryer turning in a stellar 36-save performance.
Keegan Bal and Reagan Harding each tallied twice for the Jr. ’Bellies, who got singles from Mark Negrin, Brandon Goodwin and Justin Salt.
The Jr. A’s finished the regular season a perfect 21-0, while New West was next at 16-5. That matters little now, Krgovich said.
“It’s a whole different mindset playing to get into the Minto Cup,” said Krgovich, whose dad, John, is a former Sr. Salmonbellie standout. “Things that happen in the regu-lar season don’t always happen in playoffs. Things are tighter now and one play can turn things around fast.
“Any time you can steal home-court ad-vantage back is great. But we’re going into a
hostile environment Wednesday and it’s notgoing to be an easy game. It’s been a toughseries so far and I expect it to continue. Wecan’t sit back and expect to succeed. We haveto earn it.”
On Saturday, the Jr. A’s evened the series1-1 with a 6-4 triumph in New West.
Coquitlam led 3-2 after the first periodand the teams were knotted 4-4 after twobefore Omeara bagged what proved the win-ner at 4:52 of the third. Bertoia netted hissecond goal of the game with an insurancemarker at the 10:22 mark. Matthew Dinsdalealso struck net twice for the winners, whileDecker also scored. Cornwall and CaseyJackson dished out three assists apiece.The Jr. A’s outshot the Jr. ’Bellies 45-37, withFryer blocking 33 shots.
New West stole Game 1 of the series 7-6last Wednesday in Coquitlam.
