OUR OLYMPIANS

CoquitlamsHaislan Garciais looking to grabwrestling glory at theLondon 2012 Olympics.

A native ofGuanabacoa, Cubawho moved to Canadain 2004, the 29-year-old freestyle grapplerplaced 16th in the 2008Beijing Games, his firstOlympic experience.

Since then, his confi-dence has grown to thepoint where he feels hecan now contend for an

Olympic medal.Garcia earned a trip

to London by winninggold at the FILA PanAmerican Olympicqualifying tournamentin Kissimmee, Fla.In the 66 kg divisionfinal, he beat two-timeNCAA champion BrentMetcalf of the U.S. andsaid competing south ofthe line was the perfectchallenge to prepare forthe Games.

All them [Americans],theyre all tough, Garcia

said in a YouTube in-terview. They go afteryou and after you. Theynever give you a point,you have to work for it.

Garcia entered thematch with Metcalfwith a 1-1 record againstthe heralded American,having defeated him inthe 2009 Pan Americanchampionships beforelosing in a January ex-hibition match before acrowd of 15,000 in Iowa,when he was coming offknee surgery.

Before that, he placedfifth in the 2010 worldchampionships andwon silver at that yearsCommonwealth Games.

After Beijing, Garciawon back-to-back silvermedals at the 2008 and2009 Pan Ams, then col-lected bronze there inboth 2010 and 2011.

Garcia trains withthe Burnaby MountainWrestling Club.

Garcia will take to tothe mat on Aug. 12, thelast day of the Games.

Brittany Rogersroad to theLondon Olympicshas been anything butsmooth. Now that shehas made it to the bigshow, shes hoping thebig bumps are behindher.

The Coquitlam gym-nast, who turned 19on June 8, overcame aserious ankle injurysuffered during a beamdismount in Australiain 2010 to qualify for thefive-member Canadianteam at the finalOlympic selection meetJune 28 in Gatineau,Que. Ranked sixth goinginto the meet, Rogersmade the Olympic gradeby climbing three spotsand finishing thirdoverall.

As soon as they an-nounced my name, Iwanted to drop, saidRogers, who remarkablyovercame a fracturedankle that requiredsurgery and kept herout a year to win a silvermedal in World Cupvault in 2011 and gold invault and bronze on bal-ance beam earlier thisyear.

Ive worked so hardfor this and Im reallyglad it paid off. Its adream come true. Its

incredible.Last January, Rogers

was part of a gymnas-tics team that helpedCanada qualify forLondon at an Olympicqualifying meet inEngland, then returnedhome from overseas tojoyfully discover via anemail that she had beenchosen the recipient ofSports BCs 2011 HarryJerome ComebackAward, which recog-nizes an athlete who hasovercome an unusualsetback to performagain at their peak level.

Past winners of theaward include formerOlympians SilkenLaumann, alpine skierEmily Brydon andfigure skater KarenMagnussen.

So many things havebeen thrown at me inthe past few days... itsjust amazing, Rogerstold The Tri-City Newsat the time. Its kindof surreal to me. Yes, Idid come back from ahuge injury but I neverexpected this kind ofrecognition for it. Im sograteful.

Amazingly, just a yearbefore, Rogers was readyto call it a career.

At age 26, Coquit-lam nativeBrittany Timkowill be considered oneof the leaders on theCanadian womenssoccer team at the 2012London Olympics.

More than 20 yearsago, she had a hunchshe would be one day.

When I was fiveyears old, after watch-ing a game on TV, I toldmy parents I wanted toplay soccer at the high-est level, Timko re-cently told canadianath-letesnow.ca. [It wasalso] through my olderbrother. I always fol-lowed him around andwanted to play with himand his friends. Whenthey started playing soc-cer, I played soccer withthem and loved it.

The forward has beenplaying on the grandpitch for quite sometime now, having toiledin 111 internationalgames for Canada,including in the 2008Beijing Olympics. She isalso in her fifth seasonwith the Whitecaps FCW-League squad, withwhich she has wontwo championships(2004 and 2006) and hasscored four goals andfive assists while start-ing in 25 of her 26 ap-pearances.

A five-foot-eightCentennial second-ary grad, Timko hasalso toiled profession-ally overseas, suitingup for Australias

Melbourne Victory in2008, Swedens PiteaIF in 2009 and theGerman club SG Essen-Schonebeck in 2010.

Ranked seventh head-ing into the Olympics,Canada is grouped ina pool with reigningworld-champion Japan,fourth-ranked Swedenand 61st-rated SouthAfrica.

Timko, a Universityof Nebraska grad,is one of five B.C.residents on the squad,including star captainChristine Sinclair ofBurnaby, whose inter-national highlight ishelping Canada placefourth at the 2003 WorldCup and also earningthe Golden Shoe as topscorer at the 2004 FIFAU-19 womens worldchampionship withseven goals in fourgames.

Canada kicked offplay in London versuspowerhouse Japanon Wednesday, los-ing 2-1, with the onlyCanuck goal comingfrom Melissa Tancredi.Canadas women nexttake on 61st-rankedSouth Africa tomor-row (Saturday) andconcludes its group playnext Tuesday againstthird-ranked Sweden.

Glaesser:Picked the right sport

As hard as it maybe to believe,CoquitlamsJasmin Glaesser was vir-tually forced into takingup competitive cycling asa teenager.

Now 20, shes part ofthe Canadian womenstrack team pursuit squadthat will compete in the2012 London Olympics.

Glaesser was 15 andattending Terry Foxsecondary school in PortCoquitlam when a seriesof injuries hindered herathletic progression asa runner. I saw a chiro-practor and he told meto pick another sport,Glaesser told espn.go.com.

Glaessers father, acomputer science profes-sor at SFU, owned a roadbike and suggested hisdaughter save up andbuy one for herself.

There was an in-door velodrome nearby[Harry Jerome SportsCentre in Burnaby]with a local learn-to-rideprogram, so thats how Istarted, she said.

A third-year mathmajor at SFU, Glaesserhit the big-time cyclingstage by helping Canadawin gold at the 2011 PanAmerican Games inMexico. She has been asolid road racer sinceshe first started spinningwheels she placedfourth in the road portionof this years Canadianchampionships and beatout two riders with moreinternational experi-ence, Vancouvers LauraBrown and Steph Roorda,to earn an Olympic spot.

Now, with EdmontonsTara Whitten and Victo-rias Gillian Carleton,Glaesser is considered astrong medal contenderin London, especiallyafter earning bronzeat the 2012 UCI WorldChampionships in Australia.

Born in Germany andhaving moved to Canadaat age eight, Glaesserwas only grantedCanadian citizenshipand the right to chal-lenge for a national teamberth just before the 2011Pan Ams in Guadalajara,where she captured goldin the team pursuit withBrown and Roorda.

Coquitlam cyclistTory Nyhaug willbe at the London2012 Olympics.

His spleen wont.The 20-year-old BMX

star ruptured his spleenin May for the secondtime in less than twoyears and thus had thenon-vital organ surgi-cally removed andstill managed to get cho-sen for Team Canadaearlier this month, oneof a record-breaking 16Canuck cyclists set torace in various disci-plines at the Games.

Slotted fifth in theworld rankings, Nyhaughas consistently been inSupercross finals overthe last two seasons,establishing himself asa serious contender forGames hardware.

But it hasnt alwayslooked that way as mis-haps kept curbing hisability to train and racein anticipation of and

preparation for England.Nyhaug crashed

in a practice sessionat the 2010 UCI WorldChampionships and hisseason suddenly cameto an end as he lost con-trol of his bike and hitthe ground hard. The di-agnosis was not pretty:He suffered a rupturedspleen and was forcedout of action for a con-siderable time.

Since his comebackfrom the first spleeninjury, Nyhaug againenjoyed significantsuccess on the globalscene, finishing ninthat the 2011 WorldChampionships, andstepping twice on to theSupercross podium inthe time trials.

This year, the two-time reigning Canadianchampion was enjoy-ing a successful seasonwhen he crashed in thefinal race of the UCISupercross event in

Papendal, Netherlands,on May 13, the lastSupercross before theworlds. The news wasdevastating for Nyhaug:He once again rupturedhis spleen as well as suf-fering a fractured wristand a slight concussion.

Amazingly, hes nowback and raring to go.

This has been thehardest and most pain-ful month of my life, andI can only see a brighterfuture ahead, Nyhaugsaid in a press release.

BMX is a danger-ous sport and we allknow the risks goingin. I know after goingthrough something likethis, I can face seriouschallenges head on.

I cant wait to rep-resent Canada, both inLondon and for years tocome.

The Olympics BMXevent is spread over threedays, starting with qual-ification on Aug. 8.

Guloien:PaddlepowerPort Moodys KristaGuloien was amember of theCanadian womens quad(fours) sculls rowingcrew that finished arespectable eighth at the2008 Beijing Olympics.

She and her threeteammates are hop-ing to garner a higherspot at the 2012 LondonOlympics.

Guloien, 32, first tookup rowing in 2001 whenshe began working onher criminology degreeat SFU. I fell in lovewith rowing after myfirst practice, Guloiensaid on canadianath-letesnow.ca. I think Istarted to dream as soonas I started rowing. I as-sociated rowing with theOlympics due to the row-ing greats we have herein Canada, [like] MarnieMcBean and SilkenLaumann.

After making theCanadian national teamin 2006, she moved toLondon, Ont. to be closerto the squads traininggrounds and focus onquad sculls.

Guloien has competedin five world champion-ships, winning back-to-back silver medals in thewomens eights in 2010and 2011. Previously, atthe 2006 and 2007 Worlds,Guloien was part ofCanadas fifth-placeteam in the coxless foursand quad sculls respec-tively.

A Port Moody second-ary school grad, theNew Westminster-bornGuloien comes from afamily replete with tal-ent. Her sister, Leah, is aprofessional road cycliston the North Americancircuit while anothersister, Marla, is an ex-ecutive producer, record-ing artist and graphicsdesigner.

But Guloein saidtheres no questionwhos been her biggestinspiration throughouther career.

My parents are themost supportive and lov-ing people in my life,she said. They havedifferent perspectivesand strengths, and havetaught me how to bepatient, dedicated and gofor what I want.

Heats in the womensquad sculls at theLondon Olympics go to-morrow (Saturday).

KRISTA GULOIEN

I was ready to quit,she told The News. Ididnt feel I had enoughpower and strength

mentally and physicallyto come back. It wasscary... the scariest thingin my life.

But I went with mygut instinct, kept work-

ing and its worked out.Boy, has it. Womens qualifica-

Drunk driving bustsdown from 2011 but...

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam RCMPhas seen a decrease indrunk driving arreststhis year from 2011 butthat doesnt necessarilymean fewer people arehaving a few drinks be-fore getting behind thewheel.

Police suspended 99drivers and charged 51others criminally be-tween April 1 and July 7of this year. Those num-bers are down from thesame period last year,when police suspended135 drivers and charged162 criminally.

Cpl. Jamie Chungsaid the difference inthe arrest statisticscould be attributed tothe fact that last sum-mer, police had stricterroadside penalties.Officers were allowed toimmediately suspend adriver for 90 days follow-ing a failed reading ona Breathalyzer, savingofficers the time it takesto conduct a lengthycriminal investigation.

The criminal inves-tigation takes a lot moretime than the IRP, hesaid. That is one of thecontributing factors.

T h e r e g u l a t i o n sw e r e t e m p o r a r i l ysuspended after B.C.

Supreme Court judgeJon Sigurdson said theyinfringed on peoplesconstitutional rightsto a fair trial. Afterthe provincial govern-ment made changes tothe legislation in thespring allowing driversa chance to challengeBreathalyzer readings,the stricter regulationswere reinstated.

But there are other

factors that could haveswayed the CoquitlamRCMPs drunk drivingstatistics.

Chung said 2011 wasa particularly effectiveyear for the detachmentwhen it came to arrest-ing impaired drivers,with 12 officers receiv-ing recognition for theirwork.

Two of those officershave since been pro-

moted to other areaswithin the department.

There were two traf-fic officers who wereparticularly keen on re-moving intoxicated driv-ers off the roadway, hesaid.

Police will continueenforcement through-out the summer months,said Chung, and peoplewho choose to drinkshould not get behindthe [email protected]

Four young men,including one fromCoquitlam, had theirhigh-end vehicles im-pounded after beingstopped by police forstreet racing and ex-cessive speeding earlyTuesday morning inVancouver.

Shortly after 2 a.m.July 24, a Port MannFreeway Patrol of-ficer was monitoringtraffic on Highway1 at Gaglardi Way inBurnaby when heheard several high-performance vehiclesspeeding westbound.

He estimated theywere travelling atabout 140 km/h in theposted 80 km/h con-struction zone, saidRCMP spokesmanSgt. Peter Thiessen ina press release.

The officer acti-vated his emergency

equipment and fol-lowed the suspect ve-hicles, catching up tothem at the CassiarTunnel in Vancouver,where the speed limitis 70 km/h. He hadpaced all four vehi-cles at more than 160km/h in that zone.

When the suspectdivers noticed the pa-trol car, they slowedto a near stop, allow-ing the officer to passthem safely, block-ing access to the IronWorkers MemorialBridge.

All four vehicleswere registered totheir drivers, whowere issued $483tickets for excessivespeeding and hadtheir cars impoundedfor seven days. Threeof the four were onlearners licences andhad previous driving

prohibitions.The first car was a

2011 BMW M3 drivenby a 22-year-old manwith a Class 7 learn-ers licence, and a pre-vious driving prohibi-tion.

The second was a2009 Subaru Imprezaoperated by a 23-year-old man with a Class7 and previous prohi-bitions.

The third was a 2010Nissan 370Z drivenby a 21-year-old manwith a Class 7 and aprevious prohibition.And the fourth ve-hicle, a 2008 PorscheCayman, was drivenby a 22-year-old manwith a Class 5 driverslicence.

They appear tohave had a disregardfor the publics safetyas well as their own,Thiessen said.

Fast cars impounded

MADD signs in PoCoSigns encouraging motorists to phone 911

when they see an impaired driver on theroad will be erected in various parts of PortCoquitlam.

MADD will pay for eight Campaign 911signs in the municipality and has worked withthe city and Coquitlam RCMP to determinethe best locations.

The proposed locations include McLeanPark, Gates Park, Broadway Street, Pitt RiverRoad at Mclean Avenue, Dominion Avenue atOttawa Street, Coast Meridian Road at PrairieAvenue and two along Coast Meridian.

The city will co-ordinate the constructionand installation of the signs before invoicingMADD for costs.

Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge have alreadyerected signs and the city of Coquitlam is alsoexpected to take part in the program in thecoming months.

The ultimate goal is to have both PortCoquitlam and Coquitlam sign on to it, saidCoquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. This isin everybodys best interest.

PoCo man says skunk caught in leg-hold trap

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Until last Friday,Robert Belyk did notconsider himself ananimal rights activist.

That changed whena wounded skunk,caught in a leg-holdtrap, wandered intothe backyard of hisPort Coquitlam home,writhing in pain.

We were all reallycut up by seeing whatwas happening to thispoor animal, he said.Nobody cares forskunks but nobodywants to see them suf-fer.

Belyk called theConservation OfficerService and someonefrom Langleys CritterCare Wildlife Societytook the skunk awayand later euthanizedthe animal.

Given its conditionand the fact that oneof its legs was caughtin the trap, Belyk,who lives in a residen-tial neighbourhood,said the animal couldnot have travelledfar. That means thetrap was likely oneof his neighbours someone he probablyknows on a first-namebasis, he said whoset the trap.

After his experiencewith the skunk, he

wants leg-hold trapsbanned. He worriesthat a similar trapcould have caughtsomeones pet, orworse, a small child.

I am going to makean effort to make surethere is a ban on leg-hold traps, he said. Iwas not a big advocateof traps. I knew theywere used but I had noidea anyone would setthem around here.

But the trap thatcaught the skunkin Belyks yard waslikely already pro-hibited in residentialareas. According toregulations from theprovincial Ministryof Environment, it isillegal to trap within200 m of a home un-less a live box or eggtrap is used.

Conservation offi-cer Steve Jacobi saidlarger leg-hold trapsare permitted butare too big to catchsmall animals such asskunks or dogs. Theyalso require a licenceand written permis-sion from the prop-erty owner where thetrap is set.

The [permittedtraps] are pretty big,

he said. If a skunksets off somethinglike that, they can justwalk out of it.

Leg-hold traps arerare in residentialareas, he said, add-ing that the last timea similar incident oc-curred was about sixyears ago. He said thetrap that snared theskunk was likely notpermitted in the loca-tion where the animalwas found.

It doesnt soundlike it was a legal trapat all, he said. Thisis probably a small,rusty one.

He added that con-servation officialshave been unable todetermine who set thetrap.

Angela Fontana,a senior animal caresupervisor at CritterCare, said staff haddifficulty removingthe trap. She addedthat because of theanimals condition,rehabilitation was notan option and it hadto be euthanized.

The foot was basi-cally almost severed,she said. It was re-ally [email protected]

Work to be done on old & new roofsat rec centre$333k for roof over old part of rec cen-tre; newer portion not on warranty

By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

The city of Port Moody will apply for a grant tohelp pay for a new roof on the recreation complex.

The roof over the old rec centre, curling rink andskaters lobby have required regular repairs for sev-eral years and, according to staff, the roof is nowwell past its prime. It was also found that repairingall the roof sections now, instead of in pieces overtime, would save at least $50,000.

Mack Kirk Roofing and Sheet Metal won thecontract, worth $332,632, and is now working on thePoMo facility.

Council approved staf f s recommenda-tion to apply for the Community InfrastructureImprovement Fund grant through WesternEconomic Diversification of Canada. If the applica-tion is successful, the grant could pay for up to halfthe cost of the project.

Another part of the roof the underside of theroof overhang that stretches around the weightroom will also need repairing soon. The woodpanelling was recently taken down after it wasfound moisture had pooled inside the roof struc-ture and damaged the panels, said Ron Higo, thecitys director of community services.

From a design perspective, it continues theceiling from the inside to the outside through theglass... but I dont think wood was probably the besttype of fascia up there, Higo said.

Its not yet known how much repairs to that partof the roof will cost.

Higo said the project wouldnt be a warranty itembut staff are looking at who should foot the bill.

Thats something well need to look at, to deter-mine if its something somebody else should havebeen responsible for with the control of the mois-ture, Higo said.

Iblame Mario.It is his fault, the alarmthat wakes me much too earlyon Saturday mornings.

His fault, the (ahem) snugLycra shorts I wear, the colourfuljerseys I pull over my head.

His fault, the countless hoursand kilometres I spend on two skinny wheels.

I also blame Rossi.Let me explain: Preparing to move a few

years ago, my friend Mario Bartel, a photog-rapher and reporter at the NewsLeader papersrin Burnaby and New Westminster and ahardcore cyclist needed to get rid of someof his stuff. So he did what anyone would (not)do: He created a website and emailed the linkto friends and acquaintances, who could thenshop online for used Ikea furniture and otherhousehold items.

Or, in my case, a blue, steel-framed Konamountain bike that had carried its owner upand down trails for years but had been replaced

with a newer model. With an eye to upgradingfrom a bike I had bought in the 1980s, I pointedand clicked to reserve that beast, an investmentof a couple of hundred bucks in future fun andfitness.

When I visited Mario to pick up my pur-chase, he mentioned he was also selling his oldroad bike, which hed been using on his train-ing machine and which he would throw in foran extra $50.

Thats Rossi. Sleek, elegant tubular steel.Gleaming chrome forks. A hard, old leatherseat. Italian.

Mario had bought it more than 20 yearsearlier, when he was a university student, andjust as it had grabbed him from the first ride, itspoke to me now.

It spoke of packs of riders on mountainroads and city streets in my familys nativenorthern Italy.

It spoke of childhood freedom in East Van onmy purple bike with the banana seat and sissybar, and, later, my brothers hand-me-down,Woodwards-bought 10-speed.

It reminded me of the time, more than twodecades earlier, when I heard someone talk

about riding to Whistler and I had thought,Wouldnt that be cool?, never thinking Iwould do it (Ive done it).

And it said one thing I immediately knew tobe true: This is going to become an expensivehabit.

Still, cheapskate though I am, I was sold.And thus began the education of a roadie,

another MAMIL (middle-aged man in Lycra)among the hundreds you see on local roads anygiven weekend.

Not that I was a two-wheeled newbie. I re-member the precise moment, as a child, that Ilearned to ride without training wheels, push-ing off my neighbour David Andrews frontsteps and cruising down the sidewalk, the se-cret of balance suddenly revealed, a discoverythat would yield hundreds of hours of fun withfriends Albert, Dave, Gary, Gary, Robbie,Mark, Bill on the streets of our neighbour-hood.

Now, the carbon-fibre Cannondale that theRossi begat is also the source of much recre-ation with riding buddies.

First, there was Max, a friend and neighbourwho let me slow him down on trail rides and

road outings until I was usually able to keepup. Then came Hush, Ziv, Sumo, Detonator andAndrew. Mario, too.

Each is better, stronger, faster than I. Butwhen I struggle up a hill, which I usually do, Isometimes think of a story about my father thatI learned only after Rossi entered my life, andonly after my dad died: He was about 25 when hewas preparing to emigrate from Italy and wasworking clearing brush in a town called CastelloTesino in the Dolomite Mountains. Word cameto his familys home that he was to attend ameeting about his emigration. His brotherSilvano got on a bike and rode 50 km or so toalert him and to take over my dads job so hecould take the bicicletta and ride back to attendathe meeting that would propel him to Canada.

I think of this story and I imagine him ped-alling a heavy, old bike. I imagine the hairyswitchbacks of the Dolomiti. I imagine a deter-mined young man in dirty work clothes andworn boots pushing to his future. I imagine thisride as but one of many challenges before him.

And I keep pedalling.And for that, I blame Mario.

Cheer em onQ WHAT WE THINK:

More than two years have passed sinceCanadians donned red mittens and cheeredon home-grown athletes in the Vancouver2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Has our spirit lagged or are we prepared to wave theflag once more, even though the summer Olympics is sofar away and only watchable from another time zone?

After months of politics, gang shootings and hor-rific slayings, perhaps its time for a change and Tri-City residents have a lot to cheer about.

Among the thousands of athletes marching in open-ing ceremonies today (Friday) will be rower KristaGuloien of Port Moody and track star Jasmin Glaesser,wrestler Haislan Garcia, cyclist Tory Nyhaug, gymnastBrittany Rogers, soccer player Brittany Timko andParalympic runner Dustin Wash, all of Coquitlam.

London may be a long way away, and most of uswill have to cheer from a distance, unlike 2010 whenwe could toast our athletes from the stands. But withall the other things going on in the world, supportingour local Olympians will be a welcome relief.

FACE TO FACE: Should lists of voters be published after an election?

ANDY RADIA JIM NELSON

Ihave to hand it to former Tri-City News Face to Face colum-nist, and now Coquitlam citycouncillor, Terry ONeill for think-ing outside the box when it comesto addressing the problem of voterturnout.

Recently, the rookie councillorintroduced a motion asking hiscolleagues to support the idea ofpublicizing the names of peoplewho vote in elections.

Currently, municipal govern-ments in British Columbia makepublic a record of allvoters who cast ballotsfor eight weeks afterthe election. But mem-bers of the public areonly allowed to viewthe list in person atcity hall and are not al-lowed to make photocopies.

ONeills idea is to publicize thenames, permanently, on the cityswebsite or even as a supplementin a local newspaper. He calls it asort of positive reinforcement andsays that its akin to publicizing thenames of the winners of the latesthospital lottery or participants inthe Sun Run.

Its about celebrating those whovote and having a positive impacton those who dont vote, he said ina recent interview.

[A non-voter] might say: Holymackerel, I should get myself onthe list. Because you know what?Im one of those barroom philoso-phers who spouts off all the timeabout this, that and that and thenpeople see that Im not voting.

All of the sudden their point ofview doesnt have the credence itotherwise might have had.

Its an idea that deserves consid-eration, not just municipally, but atall levels of government.

Over the past several years, thepowers that be havetried get-out-the-votecampaigns, vote mobsand, in some jurisdic-tions, online voting as ameans to increase turn-out. To date, those ini-tiatives have all failed.

ke my colleague opposite,I believe that a lack of citizen en-gagement is something we need toaddress. At the local level, at least,if enough people arent voting, werisk having special-interest groupshijack our city councils.

In the last years municipal elec-tion in the city of Coquitlam, only21% of eligible voters botheredgoing to the polls.

Like Terry ONeill, I think itstime to try some outside-of-the-ballot-box thinking.

Do we get gold star for voting?

have to say? Email your thoughts [email protected].

Low turnout calls for action

IN QUOTES

At the local level, if enough people arent voting, we risk having special-interest groups hijack our city councils.Andy Radia

vs.Our efforts to increase voter turnout shouldnt extend to using public embarrassment, threats of sanction, tax credits or free beer for voters (wait, I might support the latter scheme).Jim Nelson

Coquitlam Coun. Terry ONeillis getting a lot of buzz overthe trial balloon hes floatingto improve voter turnout in civicelections. My friend and formerdebating partner on this page sug-gests the city of Coquitlam publishthe names of citizens who vote incivic elections, thereby recognizingthose who vote and nudging gen-tly, he says those who dont.

But whether people choose tovote is their own business andshouldnt be made public. Ourefforts to increase voter turnoutshouldnt extend to using publicembarrassment, threats of sanc-tion, tax credits or free beer for vot-ers (wait, I might support the latterscheme).

My colleague opposite tries tosoft-sell the idea, saying, Its nobig deal. Its just like the Sun Run,where a list of participants is con-gratulated in the paper. But itsnot like that at all. The purpose oflisting Sun Runners is not to embar-rass non-runners into running.

My debating partner also says,There are already lists of thosewho voted, produced after elections,we just want to make them public.True, lists of those who voted aresubmitted after elections but theirpurpose is to accredit and chroniclethe integrity of elections they

are expressly and purposely notpublishable.

And if we are willing to encour-age people to vote by publishinglists, why not explore electronicinducements to vote?

Perhaps an online voter re-minder pop-up offering Starbucksgift cards for those who squeezein time to vote electronically fromtheir smartphones, between tweet-ing and texting.

Voting is already easy. Call meold-fashioned but going to yourlocal school for five minutes, show-ing your face and identificationwithout external inducement orpunishment is not too much to askof a citizenry.

Increasing election turnout is agood discussion for Coquitlam tohave and kudos to Coun. ONeill forstimulating discussion designed toget more people to vote. But we wantpeople to cast considered votes, notvotes motivated by getting onesname in the paper, a gold star oravoiding some kind of sanction.

So no lists please, of voters ornon-voters. No gold stars or freepizza (wait...). We have to engagepeople to get them to vote, not bribeor threaten them into it.

The only acceptable inducementto vote is the desire of citizens toexercise their franchise.

Paul Peck shows off the Canadian flag he displays proudly every Canada Day. This year, however, his Newport Village strata issued him a bylaw violation warning, saying flags were not allowed on balconies.

Newport resident runsafoul of strata flag rules


Paul Peck was born in Croatiabut he knew at an early age thathe wanted a different life, a betterlife. So at just 17, he set off, alone,for Canada.

Peck arrived on the shores ofNova Scotia at 8:30 a.m. on Dec.6, 1951.

The other date Peck remem-bers vividly is Feb. 15, 1965, theday the maple leaf was adoptedas Canadas flag. He has flownone outside his home for a fewdays before, during and afterevery single Canada Day sincethen.

Because Im proud of thecountry I live in, Peck said, be-

cause you can be here and youcan be anything you want to beif youre willing to work. You canhave a really good life.

So in late June, Peck got outhis flag and tied it to the inside ofhis 17th-floor balcony in NewportVillage, just like he has in each ofthe past six years he and his wife,Dorothy, have been living there.

But this year, somebody wasntquite as caught up in the nationalspirit.

Peck received a strata bylawviolation notice, a warning noti-fying him that he had an item onhis balcony that was not allowed.

The balcony-related bylawslisted on the notice dont specifi-cally mention flags but a hand-written note at the bottom reads:

No flags allowed on balcony norwindows. Thank you to removeit.

Peck took it down, but not will-ingly.

I was so upset, he said. Ivebeen here 62 years, gee whiz. Ibelieve in it, in Canada Day. Itsawful.

Peck wants the warning re-voked, an apology from the stratacouncil and an assurance thatit wont happen again next sum-mer.

A representative from thebuildings property managementcompany said the notice camefrom the strata council, whichdid not respond to a request foran interview.

Whats in a name a lot, appar-ently, when it comes to naming sta-tions for the Evergreen Line.

Planners are having a toughtime coming up with simple namesfor Port Moodys two stations andwent before city council Tuesdayasking for help.

TransLink staff who are han-dling station naming for the$1.4-billion rapid transit line havecome up with four names for thestop at the Port Moody West CoastExpress station and six for the stopat Ioco Road and Barnet Highway.

Top choices for the WCE loca-tion are Moody Centre Station andPort Moody Station because theyare simple, logical, self-locatingand durable, important criteriafor helping people negotiate thetransit system. Two other possiblenames, Port Moody Centre Stationand Port Moody Central Station,are likely to be non-contenders be-cause they lack simplicity.

The bigger concern is finding aname for the station at Ioco Roadand Barnet Highway. Of the sixidentified as possibilities, nonemeet all the criteria, although IocoRoad Station is familiar and InletCentre Station is named in thecitys official community plan.

Tossed out are double-barrellednames such as Ioco-Inlet CentreStation and Ioco-Barnet while Port

Moody East Station is consideredtoo long and Ioco Station wouldbe misleading because the stationisnt in Ioco.

The decision is important be-cause the names will be prominenton way-finding signs and be usedto help commuters and emergencyresponders get around.

DESIGN PANELCoun. Glumac wants to see

PoMos advisory design panel re-vived.

In a report to council Tuesday,Glumac said such a panel would ad-vise council and staff on everythingfrom design, layout and landscap-ing to environmental quality andconformity to design objectives.

With the building of theEvergreen Line, many develop-ers will be looking to build in PortMoody, his report stated. It is im-portant these new developmentsnot only fit into the character ofour community but enhance ourcommunity.

Glumac suggested the panelcould include architects and land-scape architects, engineers andrepresentatives from Port MoodyPolice and the Urban DevelopmentInstitute. Additional memberscould include people with expertisein the arts, environment and acces-sibility issues.

PoMo considersstation names


Port Moody Coun.Diana Dilworth wantsto see the city build anew library before itpursues the Inlet Parkredevelopment project.

At Tuesdays coun-cil meeting, Dilworthvoted against a motionto add the park projectto the budget processto determine its prior-ity status and fundingsource, saying the li-brary should take pri-ority over new sportsfields.

We still owe moneyon the recreation cen-tre, we still owe moneyon the public safetybuilding. If we are tochoose one capital proj-ect, it should be the li-brary, Dilworth said,adding funds that wereset aside for the libraryseveral years ago werebumped for the firehall.

We have spent hun-dreds of thousands ofdollars upgrading thefield facilities in PortMoody and its timewe start focusing ourefforts on the library,Dilworth added.

In May, council votedto pursue the Inlet Parkredevelopment projectwith a single field onthe western edge of thesite, along a north-southalignment, and thatthere be no encroach-ment into the forest onthe eastern end.

Councillors GerryNuttall and Zoe Royeragreed with Dilworthsconcer ns but saidTuesdays motion wassimply a way to deter-mine the citys capitalproject priorities.

C o u n . Ro s e m a r ySmall reiterated hersuggestion that a cor-porate sponsor shouldbe found to pay for thenew fields.

Building a single fieldrepresents a phased ap-proach to the priciest ofthree options presentedto council in May.

The original OptionC includes a softballfield, two soccer fields,a field house, battingcage and 104 parkingstalls at a total cost of$5.7 million.

Staff estimated thecost of building the firstphase, which would in-clude a soccer field andbaseball diamond, at$2.7 [email protected]

Lincoln Station Supports ln Staa Compact Communitya CompacThe recently announced Lincoln Station has always been The recently anrecognized as a future station in the planning of theecognizEvergreen ALRT Line project in addition to the Coquitlam vergreeCentral station at the West Coast Express station andentral Douglas College station north of Guildford Avenue. It has Douglas College st

he City, Mayor and Council to shapebeen a priority for the Citthe Coquitlam City Centre area in a sustainable, transitthe Coquitlam City Centre area in a sustainable, transit-oriented development manner. The additional stop in thement manner. The additional stop in theheart of this Regional City Center that serves the Northeastty Center that serves the NortSector will be built in the Coquitlam Centre Mall parking lam Centre Mlot alongside Pinetree Way between Northern and Lincoln Avenues.

Coquitlams Citywide Ofcial Community Plan for theCity Centre neighbourhood calls for the support anddevelopment of a complete, compact community with easyaccess to public transit. The Lincoln Station is strategically located to build on the success of the high-density development already achieved to the north of this station,and will help shape the expansion of the urban core tothe south. The station in the middle of the downtown core within walking distance of residents and employers willsupport transit as an attractive, alternative transportation choice. The additional station will help generate more economic development and contribute to a reduction ingreenhouse gases.

The Federal Government through P3 Canada has committed to contribute up to $7 million towards the construction. The balance will be funded by Coquitlam Centre Shopping Centre owner (Pensionfund Realty Ltd.) and the City of Coquitlam. The Citys contribution is anticipated to be paid for through a combination of Bonus Density developercontributions and the sale of rights of way to the Province on City lands in other locations along the Evergreen Line. The Province, through the Evergreen Line Project Team, will be managing the construction of the new Lincoln Stationas part of the overall construction of the Evergreen Line.The total cost of the additional station cannot be released until the Province has awarded the work to the preferred contractor.

Coquitlam is developing a Transit-Oriented Development Strategy to ensure that new development around stations follows the principles of transit-oriented development: supportive densities, pedestrian-friendly streets, and a mixof land uses to allow more people to live and work close tohigh quality transit service. Open Houses were held in June2012, and feedback gathered was used to prepare a draftstrategy that will be considered for approval by Council onJuly 30, 2012. In addition, the City also sought feedback onpotential Street Enhancement Concepts for the EvergreenALRT Corridor at these open houses with a lot of positivesupport and input received from the community.

Item #5 Reference No. 12 007638 RZ Bylaw No. 4328, 2012 Text Amendments to Address Federally Licensed Medical Marijuana Growing Operations and Prohibit Unlicensed Marijuana Dispensaries

The intent of Bylaw No. 4328, 2012 is to introduce amendments to City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to regulate the production and distribution of medical marijuana for licenced marijuana growing operations, and to prohibit the distribution of marijuana from marijuana dispensaries not licenced by the federal government.

Medical marijuana production and distribution is allowed as part of the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations under the licensing authority of Health Canada. Currently, medical marijuana production and distribution is not specified in the Citys Zoning Bylaw. The proposed Bylaw amendments aim to address some of the community health and safety concerns of medical marijuana production and distribution and include the following:

Introduce three new definitions: Marijuana Dispensary (non-medical marijuana facilities, i.e. compassion clubs that do not have a federal licence to deal in marijuana); Medical marijuana grow operation (medical marijuana production facilities); and Controlled Substance (as defined by the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act);

Amend the definition of Agricultural to exclude a medical marijuana grow operation; Specifically permit the production of medical marijuana under a designated-person production licence as issued by Health Canada, in the M-3 Special Industrial Zone; Add provisions that require a medical marijuana grow operation to be fully enclosed and be the only permitted principal use on a lot; and Create a specific parking rate for medical marijuana grow operation; Add Marijuana Dispensary to the list of undesirable businesses which are prohibited in every zone.

M-3 Special Industrial zoned sites are indicated on the attached maps labeled Sites with M-3 Zoning Designation.
