THE TRI-CITIES NOW | THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 3WWW.THENOWNEWS.COM

NEWSNOWJeremy [email protected]

The phones at Western Safety Productsin Port Moody arent exactly ringing off thehook.And thats a bit of a surprise to owner Dan

Barron, following the massive windstorm thatblew through the Lower Mainland over theweekend, leaving thousands without powerfor days.We have this situation locally here, and

for whatever reason people didnt associateit with having the necessities of emergencypreparedness and I dont understand why,he told the Tri-Cities NOW.Anybody that doesnt have the ability to

fend for themselves for at least three or fourdays, give your head a shake.Western Safety sells emergency prepared-

ness kits, and Barron noted since the stormhit, the business has maybe seen a 10-per-centincrease in inquiries for them.Thats not much of a rise, considering that

when a major earthquake hits elsewhere inthe world, interest in the kits skyrockets.A basic kit sells for about $100 and includes

food rations for three days, water, first aidand basic survival items like garbage bags andhygiene products.And after seeing how much trouble people

experienced during the storm, Barron doesntbelieve residents here are prepared for a big-ger event, like an earthquake.This was pretty minor in the big picture,

but even in that short period of time, a lotof people started to have issues with beingable to have enough fresh water and foodand some of the basic necessi-ties that people should have onhand, he said.So local politicians are

hoping the windstorm willserve as a wakeup call for resi-dents.The storm, which blew

through late Saturday mor-ning, was powerful enough toknock down trees in all threeTri-Cities municipalities.At one point, thousands of

residents were without power.As of Wednesday, about 100

residents around the LowerMainland were still in the dark,with no word on whether anyof them were in the Tri-Cities.Port MoodyMayorMike Clay

suggested the storm served as a reminder forpeople to check their emergency supplies.If people arent paying attention, I think

its a good wakeup for them, at least to havewater and some food and medical supplies aswell, he said.Its always a learning opportunity for

people.Clay said he was also pleased to see how

neighbours came together after the storm to

help each other out.Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart shared

similar sentiments, saying the learning oppor-tunity from the crisis that followed thestorm shouldnt be wasted.We need to be prepared as a community

and as individuals, and the 72 hours of self-sufficiency that we ask residents to be pre-

pared for is a bare minimum,he said.While both mayors were

happy with the response fromthe community, they didntshare the same feelings for BCHydro.Clay and Stewart praised

the work of hydro crews inthe field, but panned the com-panys communication.BC Hydros website went

down after the storm, a situa-tion Port Moodys mayorcalled pathetic for a utilityprovider.Theres no reason for

a company like BC Hydroto have their website crash.Thats crazy, Clay said.

He, along with Stewart, took issue with thepower restoration estimates put out by BCHydro.Coquitlams mayor said BC Hydro needs to

make sure it offers more realistic estimatesfor the power to come on, suggesting millionsof dollars of food will be thrown out becausepeople were relying on hydro informationthat didnt work out.Stewart also said he has concerns about

how BC Hydro prioritizes power restoration,noting traffic signals at the Brunette Overpasswere out a day after the storm, making itimpossible for people from Coquitlam to getto Royal Columbian Hospital in New West.I need to understand how priorities for res-

toration are set, he said, adding he intends toset up ameeting with BCHydro officials at theupcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities meet-ing later this month.PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said he was

shocked BC Hydros website went down andthat the utility didnt have a back-up server,but he too praised the efforts of crews to getthe power back on.Moore also sees the storm as a learning

experience, specifically suggesting BC Hydrocould have used city websites to provide infor-mation when its own website went down.However, he doesnt feel the need to meet

with BC Hydro in the near future to discussthe storm.While the weather was tough on trees, it

appears there were no major police incidentsin the Tri-Cities as a result of the storm.RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the Coquitlam

detachment dealt with a high number of calls,but no serious injuries or major traffic inci-dents were reported.He said the majority of the calls were for

reports of property damage or traffic com-plaints.On Saturday, the detachment dealt with

700 calls between the day and night shift,compared to 500 calls during the same timeperiod the week before.Chung said police gave the most serious

calls top priority.

We understand if your food is meltingin the freezer it may be a big deal to lots ofpeople, but we do have to look after the moreserious calls first, he said.The storm also kept city crews busy for the

last couple of days.In Port Moody, 15 extra parks and utility

staff were called in.They dealt with 26 confirmed fallen trees

and five blocked streets.In Coquitlam, the city dealt with 615 calls

to its engineering and public works serviceline on Saturday and Sunday.The engineering department called out 26

staff over the weekend, dealing mostly withdowned trees and the resulting power out-ages and road and sidewalk blockages.The fire department dealt with 70 calls

between noon and 4 p.m. on Saturday, and100 in the first 24 hours after the storm, sixtimes the normal volume.The citys parks department also began an

assessment of the damage caused over theweekend and continues the cleanup on apriority basis.Parks manager Kathleen Reinheimer said

the city is a long way from any cost esti-mates, but over the weekend arborists fromthe urban forestry section responded to 70sites where there were reports of either parkor street trees down.With so much vegetation damaged by

the storm, Coquitlam is offering a day ofextra green waste pickup during the week ofTuesday, Sept. 8 through Friday, Sept. 11.In a press release issuedMonday afternoon,

the city said extra yard trimmings should beplaced at the curb by 7:30 a.m. on residentsregular collection days. In addition to greencarts, residents can use kraft paper bags, oldgreen cans (with green can stickers) or canbundle their tree prunings.Free residential drop-off is also available

daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the CoquitlamConstruction Recycling and Yard TrimmingsDrop-off Facility at 995 United Blvd. Formore information, see www.coquitlam.ca/yardtrimmings.In Port Coquitlam, city spokesperson

Pardeep Purewal said fire and emergencycrews attended 103 calls during the 21-hourperiod from Saturday afternoon throughSunday evening. Between 1 and 6 p.m. onSaturday, crews were especially busy, dealingwith 47 calls in a five-hour period. The bulkof those calls were for medical, wires down,alarm systems set off, public assists of variouskinds.Like Coquitlam, PoCo is offering extra

green waste collection on Tuesday Sept. 8 to help residents collect branches and otherplant debris off their street and property.Material can be deposited in green carts for

collection. To arrange for supplemental col-lection of yard debris and spoiled food waste(packaging should be removed) call the citysoperations centre at 604-927-5496.

FromCoquitlam to the topof the charts

John [email protected]

Hes signed to Sony, hasmillions of hits on YouTube,garnered a gold-selling singleand is now poised to begin amassive Canadian tour withthe likes of Kelly Clarksonand Nick Jonas.All before the age of 23.As much as Tyler Shaw is

looking forward to the nextchapter in his music career,the Coquitlam native isequally focused on lookingback.Shaws debut album

Yesterday will be releasedtomorrow (Friday, Sept.4) and serves almost like afamily photo album set tomusic, tracing the last fewyears of his musical ascent.The 13-track album fea-

tures the two songs that puthim on the map in 2012 Kiss Goodnight and ByMy Side along with othertracks hes helped pen overthe last three years.Its been a long time com-

ing. Its been three years inthe making, Shaw told theTri-Cities NOW. Thats whyits called Yesterday: its asoundtrack of my past upuntil this very moment intime.A vocalist and multi-instru-

mentalist who plays bass,guitar, drums and piano,Shaws lyrics delve into per-sonal relationships, advice

from family, and random,stream-of-consciousnessmusings like his dislike forcertain carnival rides.A friend and I were talk-

ing about how I dont likecarnival rides that make medizzy, he recalled. I lookedup from the conversation andthought Dizzy that soundslike a great title for a song.The next day I went into thestudio with some co-writersand we wrote that song.Inspiration can come fromanywhere, and a lot of thetime it depends on how youfeel when you get up in themorning.Being on the cusp of a

major label debut is a far cryfrom where life was takingShaw just five years ago. Atthat time, he was pursuingan athletic scholarship at theUniversity of Prince EdwardIsland and was aiming for a

career in soccer.He instead opted to follow

his vocal pitch rather than asoccer pitch, and by 2012 hisdebut single Kiss Goodnighthad spent 17 weeks on theAdult Contemporary MusicCharts. That song would latergo on to achieve Gold sellingstatus, leading the RiversideSecondary grad to ink a rec-ord contract with Sony MusicEntertainment Canada.He was then nominated for

a MuchMusic Video Awardin 2013, while his trackShowtime was adopted asthe official song for the 2014FIFA U20 Womens WorldCup Canada.His success can be traced

back to his upbringing inCoquitlam, specifically theinfluence he gleaned fromfamily. A student at WaltonElementary at the time,Shaws muse arrived when

his older brother came homefrom middle school one daywith a saxophone in tow.I thought the sax was kind

of cool, but then he startedplaying drums I thought,Oh wow, thats really cool,said Shaw, who now callsToronto home. I wouldwatch him play the drums allthe time and my brother andI would bounce ideas off eachother. We taught each otherhow to play guitar, drums,bass, piano and it was all self-taught.

Now that Shaws albumis out, the attention turnsto touring hell performalongside Kelly Clarkson andNick Jonas on nine Canadiandates beginning Oct. 1 andculminating with an Oct. 17performance at Rogers Arenain Vancouver.Once that wraps up, the

Pitt River Middle School gradis hoping Sony execs push hiscareer to new locales: expos-ure and touring through-out Asia, Europe and SouthAfrica.

Ive surrounded myselfwith good people, so thatkeeps my head on my shoul-ders, Shaw said of his bur-geoning fame. My grand-father played a big part inraising me, and he taught mehow to be a gentleman. Sincehe first told me those types ofthings when I was 13 yearsold, Ive taken all those typesof lessons from him to heart.Id like to keep that with me.To follow Shaws career,

Jeremy [email protected] woman who suspected

she was being scammedheaded to a communitypolice station in Coquitlam

and thats when things gotinteresting.The woman, in her 50s,

had received a voice mailfrom someone identifyinghimself as an officer with

the Canada Revenue Agency(CRA). The man said she wasunder criminal investigationby the CRA and had to callhim back at 1-613-699-5283.When she called back, the

man, who had a South Asianor Middle Eastern accent,identified himself as OfficerRoger Miller of the CRA. Hetold her police would cometo her home within the hourunless she sent more than$1,000 through a money-wir-ing business.Thats when the woman

headed to the RidgewayCommunity Police Station onAug. 24 to speak to an officer.The scammer called while

she was talking to police, soshe handed over the phone.The investigator took over

the conversation and start-ed talking to the man, whoidentified himself as OfficerRoger Fitch working out ofRCMPheadquarters in Surreyand demanded to speak tothe woman.When the investigator

asked Roger Fitch to pro-vide a badge number, hehung up.The investigator tried the

1-613 number a couple moretimes, but each time, the sus-pect hung up.Coquitlam RCMP spokes-

man Cpl. Jamie Chung saidthe woman did all the rightthings in this situation,including going to police.It is a very aggressive,

high-pressure tactic to threat-en people that the police willbe at your door, because wedont do that, he told theTri-Cities NOW, adding theCRA also wouldnt demandmoney through a money-wir-ing service. We simply dontarrest people because theyowe taxes.So far this year, Coquitlam

RCMP have dealt with 13complaints about this scam.Mounties urge people to

hang up if they get a simi-lar call, and to avoid givingout personal information orsending money.

Human rights case gets the go-ahead

Jeremy [email protected] provinces human

rights watchdog has accepteda complaint made by a manwho claims he was let go byhis Port Coquitlam employerbecause of a criminal convic-tion.Wesgar Inc., an industrial

manufacturing companyon Kebet Way in PoCo, hadasked that the complaintby former employee LionelTanguay be dismissed by theB.C. Human Rights Tribunal,but instead the tribunal saidit could go to a hearing.According to a 16-page

decision by the tribunal onthe application to dismiss,Tanguay alleged discrimin-ation on the basis of anunrelated criminal matter orsummary conviction.Tanguay started work as

a forklift driver at Wesgar inFebruary 2014, and said hetold his supervisor he was onparole and could be sent backto jail at any time.He was eventually incar-

cerated in August that yearfor three-plus weeks for a

positive urine test and toldhis employer he would beunable to work until Sept. 12.When Tanguay reported

to work three days later, hesaid he was dismissed dueto fitness but claimed hissupervisors had not informedWesgar of his status.According to the human

rights code noted in the deci-sion, an employee cannot bedismissed because of a crim-inal record, unless the convic-tions relate to their employ-ment.In documents, Wesgar said

after Tanguay told his super-visor of his parole status,there was no negative effecton his employment.However, after July 2014,

the company claimed therewere changes in Tanguaysperformance, includingunsafe operation of a forklift,inappropriate and challen-ging response to supervisionand confrontational behav-iour toward co-workers.The company also cited

unapproved absences.Wesgar said Tanguay was

dismissed on the basis of his

overall performance, butadmitted no prior perform-ance reviews or warningswere handed out.As part of its submission to

the tribunal, Wesgar arguedthe nature of Mr. Tanguaysconvictions involving fraud,robbery, break and enter andtheft and his disregard forhis parole conditions pose athreat to Wesgars business

and that his criminal con-duct demonstrates a lack ofcommitment to rehabilita-tion, therefore the complainthad no reasonable prospectof success.But Tanguay suggested

he was dismissed, at least inpart, due to his convictionsbecause he was fired immedi-ately after his release fromjail, the decision was made

the day he returned to jail,and his performance issuesand history were only raisedafter his return to prison.Tribunal chair Bernd

Walter noted at this stageof the proceedings, he couldnot conclude that Tanguayscomplaint has no reasonableprospect of success.He suggested the issues in

the case are best determined

at a hearing on the basis ofa full evidentiary record andfulsome legal argument.Walter also noted the deci-

sion deals solely with theapplication and makes nofindings of fact with respectto the complaint.Walter also urged the par-

ties to resolve the complaintwithout proceeding to a hear-ing.

For the most part, what hap-pens on a university or col-lege campus when it comes toadministration controversies(as opposed to, say, campussafety) is usually of interest only tothose who attend or work at that par-ticular campus.The academic world is very inward

looking, and the general public gives it apass most of the time.The reverse is true for many of those

who live in that academic world, how-ever. What happens in that insulatedworld can seem to be of high import-ance, to the point of being inflatedbeyond reality.Which brings us to the mysterious

case of Arvind Gupta, who resignedunexpectedly as president of theUniversity of B.C., just one year intowhat was supposed to be a five-yearterm.Rather than being confined to the

leafy campus, though, the controversyhas generated widespread media cover-age.His abrupt departure for reasons

unknown, which is at the heart of thiscontroversy has touched off a chainreaction of outrage among some parts ofthe UBC community, unfounded sugges-tions of racism somehow being behindthis whole drama, accusations thatacademic freedom is under siege, anddire warnings that the universitys entirereputation is now somehow perilouslyclose to going down the toilet.

Well. High drama indeed.With no official explanation being

offered regarding Guptas resignation,rumors and anonymous allegations havefilled the information vacuum.Gupta alienated people. He bruised

some egos. Dismissed some staff. Didntconsult with the board of governors. Orso goes the rumour mill. His support-ers paint a completely different picture,though.It is often said that the internal pol-

itics on a university or college campusmake other levels of politics (i.e. provin-cial and federal) look like genial tea par-ties by comparison, such is the vicious-ness that can occur.And UBC, like many other schools,

has a history of some rather explosivecontroversies.In the mid-1990s, the political sci-

ence department found itself facingaccusations of sexism and racism, and asubsequent investigations conclusions(that accepted all kinds of untested andunproven allegations) was denouncedby many.As well, according to a 2012 investi-

gation by the campus paper The Ubyssey,more than a dozen complaints againstUBC have been filed to the B.C. HumanRights Tribunal by various studentsand professors, with most dealing withgender equity issues.A large university like UBC, with its

sizeable and highly respected commun-

ity of professors and researchers, canunderstandably have a highly chargedand competitive atmosphere. Throw innever-ending funding issues and thingscan become volatile.Im not sure that explains the soap

opera that is currently running on thecampus stage, and that threatens tobecome a much bigger show once thou-sands of students return to school nextweek.Certainly, on social media, some pro-

fessors are alleging far bigger troublesthan simply the resignation of the uni-versity president.The school would no doubt love to

get this whole episode behind it, but itappears a critical error was made duringthe resignation process that may proveto be an unsurpassable obstacle.Gupta and the university signed

mutual non-disclosure agreements thatcovered his departure. These are legally-binding contracts, which cant simply betorn up or ignored.Unless someone on the board, or

Gupta himself, finds a way around thosenon-disclosure agreements and spillsthe beans (which seems unlikely) thenthe mystery will remain a mystery.But there is, of course, one possible

solution: Gupta and the board bothagree to waive those non-disclosuredeals.If both parties agree to shine a light

on this affair, it can be done.If the threat to the universitys integ-

rity is indeed so great because of thismess (and I think that threat is a tadoverstated) it can be argued it is incum-bent on both parties to this murky dealto step up and drop the veil of secrecy.Schools almost in, folks. Time to get

on with it.

Drivers blasting through blacked-out intersec-tions, oblivious to the four-way stop proced-ure. Residents calling the mayor to complaintheir grocery store isnt restocking fast enough or worse, calling 911 to complain food isspoiling in their freezer.Images like these paint a bleak picture of how Tri-Cities

residents will fare if a real disaster hits.Wheres the pioneering spirit our ancestors had? How

many of us will crumble in an earthquake, and go to piecesbecause we cant access Wi-Fi and havent gathered any ofthe supplies weve been told for years to have?If the Big One hits, well probably have to survive on our

own for longer than the 72 hours we keep hearing about.Remember Hurricane Katrina? That happened in the

richest country on Earth, with the biggest military on theplanet. Still, thousands of people waited more than a weekfor help to arrive. And a hurricane, unlike an earthquake, issomething forecasters can predict.In B.C., we dont have a National Guard, and the near-

est Canadian Forces bases are on Vancouver Island and inAlberta, so its not like theres a team of people nearby toswoop in and rescue us after a natural disaster.On the other hand, this windstorm was unusual, as were

the lengthy delays in getting power back on for many,despite the hard work of crews. And there was an upsideto the outages and downed trees: a lot of people cametogether to help both neighbours and strangers.But in a world where theres an app for everything,

there seems to also be a widespread sense of entitlement,that when something goes wrong, someone should step inand relieve us of our discomfort now.Maybe the Big One is hundreds of years away, or just

around the corner. Either way, the windstorm is a remind-er that when disaster hits, websites crash, communicationis cut, power is off for days and some people fall to pieces.So take the next few days to really prepare for what-

evers around the bend, so you wont be one of them.

NEIGHBOURSSTEP UPAFTERWINDSTORMWe were one of the families on

St. George Street in Port Moodywho lost a tree during the stormon Saturday. When we arrivedhome that afternoon our powerline was down and the beautifulsilver poplar in the front yard wasuprooted, its branches brushingup against the roof of the house.We hadnt been home for

more than 10 minutes before ourneighbours started pitching in.People arrived with tools, andeveryone rolled up their sleevesto get the debris ready for chip-ping. In the midst of this a deli-cious lunch magically appearedand a Craigslist ad for free woodwas set up. We were also invitedout for dinner on two nights,provided with an amazing curryon another, had the wood fromour broken fence taken to thedump, and an extension cord wasplugged in to power our fridgeand freezer. Then on Tuesdaymorning, just after midnight,hydro linesmen who had beenworking around the clock awayfrom their own families arrivedand reconnected our power.Were hoping youll print our

words of gratitude for all thepeople who helped us out. Wereso lucky to know them all andlive where we do!

FINE SHOULDFIT THE CRIMELet me start off by telling you I

have just bought a car with all thebells and whistles.

Collision warning no moresmashing into parked cars for thisfella! Sideview assistance Iverun my last car off the road whenmaking sudden lane changes.And backup camera bikes, gar-bage cans and pedestrians are nolonger fair game for me.It even has WiFi, which means

my kids can remain plugged intotheir handheld devices from thehouse to the car without missinga second of their video games orinane interaction with friends.

This also means an end to thoseuncomfortable conversations usparents were forced into dur-ing road trips. It also means Imhardwired into Facebook andTwitter while on the road. I cankeep friends and family updatedon important facts, such as what Iordered at Timmys, or how someidiot suddenly changed lanes,nearly running me off the road.He should get a car like mine.But seriously, folks, people just

dont seem to get it distracteddriving has become a bigger prob-lem than impaired driving. Andthe facts bear this out. Eighty-eight people died on the road dueto distracted driving in 2014. Sowhat I cant understand is thereluctance by the government toset the fines to fit the crime, suchas it does with impaired driving.This ridiculous fine of $167

doesnt seem to be much of adeterrent for a practice that hasthe same potential of taking alife as a DUI. A $500 fine with apossibility of losing your drivingprivileges would be a deterrent. Iread somewhere that the averagelength of a car trip in Vancouveris 28 minutes. Surely anyone canfight off the urge to use their cell-phone for this length of time.

Jeremy [email protected] Bowen had spent the day with his son

on Saturday, before returning to his suite atRJ Kent: The Residences, a retirement homein PoCo.It was the same day a powerful windstorm

blew through the region, knocking out powerto thousands of residents, including those atRJ Kent.The Second World War veteran and long-

time Tri-Cities resident decided to take hisdog for a walk around 4 p.m.But in the darkness of a stairwell on the way

out, the 93-year-old fell. He later died.His family is speaking out in hopes of

changing protocols at the building so a similarincident doesnt happen again.I just think this was an accident that

shouldnt have happened, said BeverleyRatcliffe, Bowens daughter, adding shes notblaming anyone for the fall.Im just saying there are some things that

need to be put in place in that building sothese people are safe.Bowens daughter said her dad moved into

the facility when it first opened six years ago,and was happy and well-liked by both staffand fellow residents. But in her opinion, somesafety procedures were lacking.On the day of Bowens fall, she explained,

her brother had dropped their dad off at thebuilding while the power was out.Ratcliffe said one of the employees told her

brother staff were phoning families of resi-dents to come and get them, if possible, andasked him to call someone for Bowen.

AccessYouth teamgets newwheelsJeremy [email protected]

After nearly six years onthe streets of the Tri-Cities,the first Project Reach Outbus is heading to retirement.The bus, which has played

a major role in the AccessYouth-run program, will bereplaced by a newer vehicleon Sept. 4, in time for thenew school year.Access executive director

Jerome Bouvier explainedthe new bus, which cameby way of a donation fromTransLink, will allow theorganization to expand itsoutreach services.The cabinetry inside the

new bus has been reconfig-ured to offer more space,while the power source hasbeen improved to allow theReach Out team to providemore activities for youth cli-ents. Meanwhile, the exter-ior will also sport a refreshedlook.It looks really good,

Bouvier said of the new paintjob, adding the organizationwants the bus to look moreprofessional. The previousone was hand-painted bykids. Were excited to get

it going and get it out thereon the street and see howthe kids respond to the newlook.Much of the work to get

the new bus on the road wasdonated by various commun-ity partners or businesses.Project Reach Out is a

youth drop-in centre onwheels that operates after-hours on weekends in theTri-Cities. The program stillhas a second bus, but Bouviernoted the older bus was get-ting too expensive to repairand maintain so the replace-

ment was necessary.The new bus will hit the

streets just in time for thestart of the new school year,when its use is expected toincrease significantly.Bouvier explained the

summer months can be upand down when it comes tothe number of kids using thebus, but that changes in thefall and especially aroundChristmastime.We expect the numbers to

increase quite a bit and [theneed for] support to increasequite a bit, he said.

A Tri-Cities golf course isbeing sued over an allegedflood that damaged a neigh-bours home.According to a state-

ment of claim filed in BCSupreme Court last month,the owners of 1625 SundewPl. in Coquitlam are suing theWestwood Plateau Golf andCountry Club and both itsprevious and current ownerover water drainage issues.The statement of claim,

filed by Kazem Chenjani andMasumeh Bakhshian, whoare listed as being the ownersof the house since 2011, saysthey began experiencingmoderate surface water anddrainage issues after pur-chasing the property.The suit claims the issues

became more severe, andincluded ponding and soilerosion. Documents state theowners attempted to mitigatethe flooding at their expense,including by installing a lawnbasin two metres north of theproperty to capture drainagewater.The suit claims that, as

a direct result of the drain-age issues, the home suf-fered a catastrophic floodin November 2014 that filledits basement and caused$80,000 worth of damage.The homeowners have sug-

gested the property continuesto have damage in the formof mould spores, mildew andother water-related issues.Several of the lots neigh-

bouring the property andabutting the golf courseproperty have experiencedsimilar or identical flooding

issues, the documents state.The suit said the owners

and the neighbours haverepeatedly tried to get thegolf course to look at thewater drainage issues andhire experts to conduct aninspection, but are unawareof any remedial work on theproperty in response to thecomplaints.The suit also noted the

property owners commis-sioned their own geotech-nical report that concludedthe cause of the flood anddrainage issues was likelythe frequent and substantialrunoff water from the golfcourse property onto theplaintiffs property and theparties responsible for deal-ing with the drainage hadtaken inadequate steps to dir-ect the runoff and monitor ifit was, in fact, working.

The geotechnical reportquoted in the suit also madea number of recommenda-tions in relation to the waterissues.The suit claims the golf

course owners had a dutyto ensure the drainage andwater was not redirectedaway from their propertyonto the plaintiffs propertyand to take adequate stepsto ensure that excessive sur-face or rainwater was prop-erly drained away from thecourse and not deposited onthe homeowners property.The current owner of the

golf course, listed as 3251Plateau Golf Course, filed aseparate response denyingthe claims in the suit.Instead, the company,

which took over ownershipof the course onMarch 2, saidthe drainage issues, if theyoccurred, were the result ofnegligence on the part of thehomeowners for failing toproperly maintain the drain-age systems of the house andfailing to maintain the struc-tural integrity of the land.The response also claims

the loss or damage was notcaused by drainage issues,but previous structural orother weaknesses in thehouse and property.The previous owner of the

club, listed as the WestwoodPlateau Golf & Country ClubLimited Partnership, alsodenied the claims in the suit,suggesting the homeownersconsented to the risk by pur-chasing the property whenthey should have known thepotential for actual escape ofwater from the course.The response also claims

any damages, which aredenied, resulted from anatypical accumulation ofwater and the flood andresulting damage was an actof God and reasonably fore-seeable.The homeowners claim

that, as a result of the flood,

theyve suffered devaluationof their property, loss of useand enjoyment and wagesand personal time dealingwith the flood and geotech-nical report.The owners are suing to

have a mandatory injunctioncompelling the course to com-plete the remediation recom-mendations and an orderthat the course owners allowexperts access to the courseto perform further inspectionand testing regarding thedrainage issues.The owners are also look-

ing for damages and expens-es, and general damages fornegligence and nuisance.

Senior the heart and soul of the buildingShe said he forgot and she

was never notified.Ratcliffe suggested as the

primary contact, the homeshould have called her direct-ly rather than relay amessagethrough her brother.A representative for RJ

Kent said emergency proto-cols were in place at the timeof Bowens fall, but a fullreview of the situation willbe undertaken to see what, ifany, changes are needed.At this point it would be

premature of me to commenton that because we haventhad an opportunity to do ourinvestigation yet, AmandaList said.She explained the protocol

in place at the time was thatstaff would escort residentsup and down the stairs if theywanted to leave, adding staffwere directed to do a walk-about of the building every30 minutes. She said a staffmember escorted Bowen tohis room and told him notto come down without anescort.List said 23minutes later, a

staff member found Bowen in

the stairwell.She said the priority in the

last few days has been pro-viding support to the family,staff and residents, noting

Bowen was very popular atthe building.As for Bowens family,

theyre now mourning a manwho never boasted about his

time in the war, and whosefamily meant everything tohim.My dad was one of the

kindest, [most] generous

men you would ever want tomeet, Ratcliffe said.He was just the heart

and soul of the building [RJKent]. Thats the kind of man

he was.Bowen had five children,

Punk rocker Joe Keithley isonce again putting his nameup for provincial office in theCoquitlam-Burke Mountainconstituency, this time withthe Green Party.He announced Tuesday

hes seeking the nominationin a yet-to-be-called byelec-

tion, telling the Tri-CitiesNOW the Greens are a prom-ising party with positiveideas.Its really about people

power and grassroots dem-ocracy, rather than myself asa potential politician tellingpeople what they need, hesaid. Id rather listen to themand find out what theywant.Keithley, who fronts the

punk band DOA and runshis own record label, is nostranger to the Green Party,having run in both 1996 and2001.Hes also familiar with the

riding, putting his name for-ward in 2013 for the NDP.He lost the nomination tocurrent city councillor ChrisWilson.Keithley said he soured on

the NDP after 2013, takinga few jabs at the Opposition.He suggested the NDP is

neither new nor demo-cratic, adding he doesntbelieve the party is fiscallyresponsible or cares aboutthe environment.Keithley said the Greens

want to create jobs throughgreen technology and theNDP is not forward think-ing. But the musician alsoacknowledged it will be anuphill battle to win the rid-ing, whenever the byelectionis called.The constituency, which

is being vacated by MLADoug Horne, who is runningfor federal office with theConservatives, has been a BCLiberal stronghold for years.In 2013, Green Party can-

didate Ron Peters nabbedjust five per cent of the vote.Keithley does have the

backing of the only GreenMLA and deputy leader ofthe party, though.I am absolutely thrilled

that Joe Keithley is seekingthe BC Green nomination forCoquitlam-Burke Mountainin the upcoming byelec-tion, said Andrew Weaver,the Green MLA for Oak Bay-

Gordon Head, in a pressrelease.Joe Keithleys vision for

Coquitlam-Burke Mountainepitomizes the fiscally,environmentally and sociallyresponsible and progressivevalues of our party and I amconvinced he will be a power-ful advocate for his constitu-

ents.Keithley said hes not

sure when the nominationmeeting will happen, but heintends to have volunteers inplace and start door-knock-ing shortly. Hes the first can-didate from any party to pub-licly announce his intentionto run in the byelection.

Jeremy [email protected] the federal election

campaign gathers steamand the parties continue toroll out platforms, Tri-Citiesmayors appear to have onebig thing on their wish-list.The mayors of both Port

Moody and Port Coquitlamsay theyre looking for a fed-eral government that will payattention to municipalities.Port Moody Mayor Mike

Clay said hell support anyparty or candidate who willcontinue to improve relation-ships between municipal andfederal governments and dir-ect money the citys way forinfrastructure projects.My only concern is that

any people in senior govern-ment actually recognize usas a levelof govern-ment anddeal withus appro-priately,he told theTri-CitiesNOW.C l a y

said hes also interested tosee what the federal partiesare planning to offer in termsof funding for infrastructurelike transportation.Weve done fairly well

with the federal governmentover the last few years, hesaid. I dont have any com-plaints for the way theyvetreated us as a city.Though Clay said he

doesnt expect to publiclysupport any particular candi-date or a party, he was com-plimentary toward NDP lead-

er Tom Mulcair, suggestinghe and his predecessor, thelate Jack Layton, are bothpeople everybody could seeas making a good prime min-ister.PoCo Mayor Greg Moore

is just as interested to seewhat the federal hopefuls are

promisingfor muni-cipalities.I dont

think any-one candeny thei m p o r t -ance oflocal gov-

ernment on the day-to-daylife of our citizens, he said,adding cities are taking thelead on addressing issues likethe environment and climatechange.But the mayor and chair of

Metro Vancouver is going astep further, arguing munici-palities should be recognizedin the Constitution.Hed like to see federal can-

didates tackle that issue, butacknowledges the discussionwould mean opening up theConstitution and a host of

other issues.Still, he suggested more

people are living in cities thanever before and are playing agreater role in the country.Cities are where every-

thing is happening in societythese days, he said.Moore, who indicated he

would not be publicly sup-porting any particular can-didate or party, also wantsto hear what the politiciansare promising on issues liketransit and local economies.He said the parties are talk-

ing about national industrieslike oil, but he isnt hearingabout economic developmentwithin the region.Coquitlam Mayor Richard

Stewart suggested its not hisrole as mayor to support aparticular candidate or partyin the election, and insteadis looking to see how the fed-eral parties are proposing totreat municipalities.He argued cities are being

asked to deliver more every-day services yet have beenleft with fewer resources tomanage the increased servi-ces.Stewart also echoed

Moores call related to muni-cipalities and the constitu-tion.I want all parties to give

some thought to the pos-sibility that municipalitiesbecome a level of governmentthat becomes recognized con-stitutionally, he said.

In other local election

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?A lot of people have trouble catchingwhat people say, especially in groupsituations, despite having goodhearing. What a lot of people dontknow is that this may be caused bydamage to the so-called motor oramplifier function of special cells inthe ear. A new type of hearing aid canhelp balance this out.

A great many people have difficultyhearing others clearly on a daily basis.Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation,background noise and music oftenmake it challenging to catch whatpeople say.This results in them havingto repeatedly ask questions, strainingto hear and perhaps increasinglyavoiding discussions in large groups.Asmentioned earlier, this may be causedby malfunctions in special cells in theear. According to a theory proposedby hearing researchers, motor cellsare a type of hair cell responsible foramplifying quiet sounds. They vibrateup to 20,000 times per second. If thesehair cells do not work properly then

quiet sounds are no longer naturallyamplified in the ear and loud soundsno longer dampened.

This leads tomore difficulty in hearingwhat is said in a lot of situations. If thehair cells have been damaged by noiseor blood circulation problems, hearingaids that amplify quiet speech anddampen loud ambient noise can be a

Hair cells in the ear move veryrapidly and canact as anamplifier ordampener. If these cells are damaged,they can no longer properly amplifyspeech and dampen loud noises.

Campaign signs damagedJeremy [email protected]

It appears the darker sideof politics has hit the Tri-Cities.Over the last couple of

weeks, a number of signsfor Port Moody-CoquitlamConservative candidate TimLaidler have been eitherstolen or vandalized in PortMoody, according to his cam-paign.In one case, a sign was

allegedly burned on some-ones private property.In a statement on behalf

of Laidler from his campaignmanager, the candidate saidhis team was the first to getsigns up and has been tar-geted in a persistent man-ner. The statement suggestssigns for candidates fromother political parties havebeen left untouched.In all of the election cam-

paigns I have personally beeninvolved with, it is unusualto see campaign signs beingvandalized to this degree andfrequency, Laidler said in astatement.We have filed numerous

police reports but it is diffi-cult to catch the vandalism inaction as we have found thatthe acts happen very late atnight or in the early hours of

the morning.He went on to say: It is

unfortunate that a small per-centage of our communitymembers would engage inacts of vandalism. These actsof vandalism are costly forcampaigns and are not help-ful to the democratic process.We can use this as an oppor-tunity for constituents whoare concerned about this typeof behaviour to encourage

them to keep an eye out forvandals and report them topolice.The Port Moody Police

Department confirmed itreceived a call on Aug. 22regarding two ConservativeParty political signs beingeither damaged or stolen.The force was also con-

tacted via Twitter that anadditional sign may havebeen lit on fire.

Port Moody police spokes-man Luke van Winkel notedthere were no witnesses tothese events and no otherparty signs were reported asbeing targeted.The PMPD would like to

remind residents that regard-less of ones political views,destroying property and put-ting the community at risk byopenly burning during a fireban is by no means an appro-priate course of action, hesaid.It appears the Conservative

candidates signs may not bethe only ones targeted.The campaign manager for

NDP candidate Fin Donnellynoted some of his signs havebeen knocked down, but notvandalized or damaged.Its not unusual. Its

expected and were buildingit into our plan, said TaniaJarzebiak, adding signs area significant cost to any cam-paign.Meanwhile, the campaign

manager for Liberal candi-date Jessie Adcock noted hersigns have not gone up yetand the majority wont be upuntil a month before the Oct.19 vote.Port Moody police are ask-

ing anyone with informationregarding the sign vandalismto call them at 604-461-3456.

The interior complimentsthe exterior with a classicappearance. Material qualityhas been improved and comfortand space has increased due toclever packaging.

PerformanceMirroring the styling, theengine bay offers a mix of classicand contemporary design cues.The Mustang is available withthree different engines.

The base model comes with a traditionalV6 layout; this unit is a 3.7-litre unitproducing an even 300 hp.

If you prefer something different and something moreEuropean, you can opt for the 2.3-litre EcoBoost turboinline-4. Using a twin-scroll turbo, this engine produces310 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque - although you canargue that it doesnt sound like a Mustang engine in atraditional sense.

The GT models come with the classic Mustang 5.0-litreV8. Thanks to tuned cylinder heads and valvetrain, itboasts an amazing level of muscle pumping out 435 hpand 400 lb-ft of torque.

A 6-speed manual transmission is standard tmenton all engines. A 6-speed automatic is an option on allmodels as well.

One feature old Mustangs didnt have that this new onedoes is selective drive modes. Switching modes adjustssteering effort, and engine and transmission response.Also, the stability control can be optimized for snow/wet, sport and track conditions.

Speaking of track conditions, Track Apps are standardand accessible through the information screen betweenthe instrument gauges. Launch Control helps you get offthe line and GT models have line-lock for burnouts.

The newMustang also handles curves and roadsmuchbetter than its predecessors. Independent rear suspensionis now standard andmakes the rear end a lotmore stable.

Whats Old is New Again

And, while it is more eager to cornerfast, the updated suspension alsosoaks up bumps,making longdistance drives a joy.

EnvironmentFord raised the level ofrenement inside the cabin toa whole new level. However,while the newMustang has moreinterior space than before, it is still

a sports coupe and therefore thespace is limited.

The double hump dash brings somenostalgia, and the high tech centre stack design

and electronic aids provide a better overall drivingexperience. The slimmer lower dash createsmore kneeroom, evenwith the added passenger side knee airbags.

The stock front seats are good, but the optional Recaroseats are highly recommended as they are excellent forspirited driving. The steering wheel is now smaller, buthas several controls added to it.

The rear seats are small and only meant for short drives -especially considering the limited headroom on fastbackmodels. Convertible Mustangs remove that issue and usea 1-hand release latch for the power-operated soft top.

Cargo space is quite accommodating on the other hand.The opening is now larger and reveals 13.5 cubic feet incoupes and 11.4 in convertibles.

Fords SYNC communication and entertainment system,which is still awkward to use, is standard. In basemodels, music comes out a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD audiosystem with an auxiliary input.

FeaturesThe Ford Mustang is available in eight trim levels withstarting prices ranging from $24,068 to $43,591

Standard equipment includes a rearview camera, autoheadlights and wipers, auto-dimming rearview mirror,keyless entry, and push-button start.

Additional features, available as options or on highertrims, include heated and cooled front leather seats,memory driver seat, remote start, dual-zone climatecontrol, heated exterior mirrors, ambient lighting,illuminated door sills, reversing sensors, adaptive cruisecontrol, blind spot information system with cross-trafcalert, and a universal garage door opener.

Thumbs UpWhile the Mustang looks traditional, it boasts all themodern technologies found in any other cutting-edgecar. The car drives beautifully and with increasedcomfort.

Thumbs DownIf big horsepower is what you crave, the Mustang simplycant compete with the outrageous Challenger Hellcats707 hp. The biggest question is. does this Mustangprovide enough distinction to make a dent in thismarketplace?

The BottomlineThe new Ford Mustang has all the style and presence ofits pony car ancestors, while incorporating new creaturecomforts and technology.

2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the FordMustang its a signicant milestone by anymeasures. The automotive landscape haschanged cons
