Donald Hay dies in prison Hay held Abby Drover captive for 181 days By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

CBC PHOTO

Donald Alexander Hay, 79, was jailed in 1977 for the kidnapping of Abby Drover the year before.

Donald Hay, who in 1976 kidnapped 12-yearold Abby Drover and held her captive for 181 days in a bunker beneath his Port Moody garage, has died, according to Correctional Service Canada.

Hay, 79, had been serving an indeterminate sentence at the Regional Psychiatric Centre in Saskatoon when he died of natural causes early Sunday morning following a lengthy illness at the institution’s hospital. According to Lorraine Guay, the assistant warden of management services at the facility, Hay was living in a hospital within the facility, where inmates with physical

ailments are treated. “It is a wing of the Regional Psychiatric Centre,” she said. “We have a different wing built for physical health care housed within the fences of the regional psychiatric centre.” The hospital served inmates from correctional centres across the province and Guay would not confirm whether Hay had been residing in the psychiatric centre prior to his move to the health

care facility. Hay has been serving a life sentence since February 1977 for kidnapping and forcible confinement, and an eight-year concurrent sentence for sexual interference with a girl under 14. His last review was in late 2006, when his application for day parole from his jail in St. Albert, Sask. was denied.

‘LIMITED INSIGHT’ From the National Parole Board ruling regarding Donald Hay’s 2006 parole application: “Despite your participation in several core programs over the years, file information reported that you continued to minimize the effects of your offending on the victim. You also had a tendency to blame others and your alcoholism for your actions. The board found, from your responses at the hearing, that you failed to accept full responsibility for your criminal offences, minimized your actions and demonstrated limited insight into your criminal behaviour.”

Rub a dub... what? Coquitlam man swatted by bear while in hot tub By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Coquitlam man relaxing in a hot tub in Whistler over the weekend got a surprise visit — from a bear. The 55-year-old was in the backyard of a home on Casabella Crescent on Sunday afternoon when he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head. The blow was strong enough to pitch him forward in the hot tub. When he turned around, he was face to face with a large male black bear. He yelled at the bruin and managed to scramble inside the house as the bear tried to climb into the tub after him. When Whistler Mounties arrived, they found the bear about 100 m away as it was walking into a wooded area; the bear was killed. see REASON FOR FOR,, page A3

Tree experts Paul Buikema and John Gillespie (foreground), in front of the East Lawn building on the Riverview lands, discuss an evergreen tree that died. Many of the trees on the Riverview lands were planted 100 years ago when the hospital property was first identified as the site for B.C.’s botanical garden. The arboretum, started by provincial botanist John Davidson in 1911, was eventually moved to UBC but the trees remain and have been added to over the years. In addition to a rich collection of non-native trees, such as ginkos, Spanish chestnut, Serbian spruce and beechwood, the 244-acre site is lush with magnolias, rhododendrons and roses. Riverview Hospital is closing this summer after nearly 100 years of operation. The province has hired a consultant to conduct a heritage values study of the property. The tree walk was hosted by the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society to mark 20 years of stewardship and advocacy on the property.

Anonymous donor replaces chair By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A 15-year-old girl who was left house-bound after thieves stole her wheelchair is able to get to school on her own again after an anonymous donor paid to replace the stolen item. Ayat Mahjar suffers from a disability that leaves her unable to walk without help. Since the chair was stolen last month, her father, Rushdi, has had to carry her to a taxi cab every morning to take her to school. The family, which moved to Canada from Iraq nine months ago, told reporters Thursday they are happy someone donated a new chair. “He feels very grateful for this person who is able to deliver this wh e e lch a i r fo r h i s daughter,” said Magdy Attallah, a volunteer interpreter who translated for Rushdi. “He is very happy and he thanks them a lot.” The black wheelchair was stolen from an apartment building at 550 Cottonwood Ave. in Coquitlam on April 10 but police are now going public with the details of the crime after exhausting all leads. The wheelchair was given to the disabled girl

by the Red Cross Society and it was stored underneath the stairs on the ground floor of the apartment building. Last month, the family discovered the char was missing and Ayat has been house-bound ever since. But just because there has been a happy ending to this story for the Mahjar family does not mean police have stopped looking for the person responsible for the theft, said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We are obviously trying to catch the person who committed this unthinkable act,” he said. “Hopefully, someone living around here or who was passing by here has seen the perpetrator wheeling a wheelchair down the street. We really want to bring this person to justice.” Coquitlam Mounties area asking anyone with information about the theft to call 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2012-9445. Anyone wishing to provide information anonymously can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-2228477(TIPS), online through www.solvecrime.ca, text at BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637), or on Facebook. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Businesses dig in to help young people By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Two hardware stores chipped in so the young people involved in Chance to Choose have a chance to grow. After learning that six shovels, a hose and some planters were stolen from the Chance to Choose community project in Port Coquitlam, Art Knapp Plantland and Florist and Home Depot in PoCo came to the rescue. Program co-ordinator Evelyn Humphreys said Home Depot donated four shovels and Art Knapp donated 10, enabling the program for unemployed youth to get back in business. It means “we can replace the six shovels that were stolen, four shovels that were broken during the digging and we will be able to leave the women’s transition centre four shovels for future use,” Evelyn Humphreys said in an email to The Tri-City News. “We also have our hose replaced and have received several calls from people who are donating plants. This community is so great,” Humphreys added. A Chance to Choose is a youth employment program run by SUCCESS and funded by Service Canada. During the 15-week program, young people develop employability skills such as marketing, project management, team building, communication and entrepreneurial skills. The program for people 19 years and older is based in Port Moody and the PoCo Chance to Grow garden at the Tri-City Transitions resource centre (2420 Mary Hill Rd.) is a work skills project that will teach the young workers how to grow and market their produce. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Cities cracking down to prevent bear problems By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

This spring has been one of the quietest starts to bear season in recent years but local cities will still be cracking down on people who leave out attractants or set their garbage out early. In Port Coquitlam, 60 fines were issued in May to homeowners who left their garbage out and Coquitlam city workers are patrolling at night to ensure garbage bylaws are adhered to. Coquitlam’s Urban Wildlife co-ordinator, Drake Stephens, said the city wants to get the upper hand on bear attractants before warm

weather and hunger bring more bears to the area. “People need to know that nothing should be left out the night before,” Stephens said — and that includes recycling bins. He recounted one incident recently where a bear feasted on a peanut butter container for an hour on someone’s lawn because it wasn’t completely rinsed out. Paula Jones, acting manager of bylaw services with the city of PoCo, said 60 fines costing $150 each ($100 if paid within 30 days) were handed out in lower Mary Hill on the south side as well as Riverwood Gate, Lincoln

Park, Clematis and Coast Meridian neighbourhoods in the north. Since then, Jones said in an email, there has been a “high degree of compliance” with the Solid Waste Bylaw. In Port Moody, which has had as many bear complaints as Coquitlam this year, council turned down staff recommendations for commercial and industrial property owners to install bearresistant bins. Council members balked at the $3,000 public education cost as well as an additional $5,000 annually for bylaw enforcement. With a cold start to spring and plenty of natural food, bears may

continue stay away from urban neighbourhoods. Coquitlam’s Stephens predicted fewer problems this year because seven bears that might have been drawn to garbage were taken to Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley last year after their mothers were shot for getting into garbage. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com – with files from Sarah Payne

Reason for attack still not known continued from front page

The bear was found to be a healthy, mature male and the reason for the attack is unknown, police reported. Conservation officers are investigating the incident and a necropsy will be done to find a motive for the attack. “We don’t really know for sure what the intentions of the bear were,” said Insp. Chris Doyle of the BC Conservation Service. Investigators ruled out any nearby attractants such as food or garbage. Doyle said the bear had to be destroyed be-

cause a person was attacked on a residential property and there was no information leading officers to believe it was a surprise encounter. It’s not unusual for bears to be attracted to hot tub covers, said Drake Stephens, Coquitlam’s Urban Wildlife co-ordinator. In fact, two or three are torn up every year in the city by bears drawn to their smell, possibly because gasses released by decaying insulation smells like bee hives. But Stephens wouldn’t go so far as to say placing hot tubs near greenbelts is a hazard.

Drake said he has never heard of such an unprovoked attack before in the Tri-Cities and didn’t want to comment on the Whistler incident specifically. But he speculated the bear was following its nose with the intent of lunching on the hot tub cover and was surprised to find someone inside the tub. The Coquitlam man suffered cuts to the back of his head that required several stitches; he was released from hospital later that day. spayne@tricitynews.com – with files from Diane Strandberg

RCMP harassment claim By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A for mer civilian staff member with the Coquitlam RCMP has filed a notice of civil claim alleging she was harassed by her superiors. Sher ri Mer ritt, a 45-year-old insurance disclosure clerk employed by the city, alleges that she was harassed “in an ongoing and vengeful manner, which isolated her within her workplace.” (Infor mation contained in a notice of civil claim has not be proven in a court of law.) According to the notice of civil claim, Merritt had concerns about the detachment’s Analyst Review Section. She stated that mistakes made by members in the section could have endangered children, put public safety at risk and violated the Privacy Act. The claim states harassment began after she was asked to correct some of the issues she observed, a request that several members of the program took as a threat to their positions, she alleges. When she complained about her treatment to superiors, she said her grievances were not taken seriously. “The RCMP has a paramilitary culture, which does not address complaints of harassment very well,” Tom Beasley, an employment litigation lawyer who is representing Merritt, told The Tri-City News. He points out that the plaintiff is not a member of the RCMP and does not have access to its internal adjudication system. Even if she did, Beasley said the process is long and convoluted. Issues first arose when Merritt was required to undergo treatment for cancer, forcing her to take a medical leave last fall. On her last day at work before the leave, she deleted several documents on her computer, files Beasley said were templates and spreadsheets. No information was lost, according to the statement of civil claim, and all protocols were followed. But less than a month later, police launched a criminal investigation against Merritt, alleging she intentionally tried to disrupt and control her office while on leave. Her security clearance was suspended and she could not return to work at the Coquitlam RCMP detachment. She was never charged criminally but, according to the court document, the Crown sent her a letter stating it would keep a note on file about the incident should prosecutors choose to pursue the matter in the future.

Firecracker, not bomb A firecracker is being blamed for shutting down Como Lake Avenue between Baker and Thermal Drive for several hours on Saturday afternoon. Coquitlam RCMP received a call shortly after noon June 2 from an area resident who said she found a package with the words “Tube Bomb” written on the side of it. Police blocked traffic in the area and evacuated several homes before investigators were able to determine that the explosive was relatively harmless. “We wanted to err on the side of caution,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. After several hours, the streets were reopened and residents were allowed to return to their homes. The firecracker, according to Chung, was about seven inches long and two inches in diameter. “It is a pretty big firecracker,” he said. “I have never seen a firecracker like that before.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com The notice of civil claim states that the defendants used the criminal investigation to intimidate the plaintiff and threaten her livelihood. Merritt, who successfully underwent in-vitro fertilization and is expecting a baby at the

end of August, said her doctor is concerned the stress caused by her employment issues is putting her baby at risk. The defendants listed in the notice of civil claim include the city of Coquitlam, Coquitlam RCMP Supt. Claude

Wilcott, Ridge Meadows RCMP Sgt. Jennifer Hyland and Susan McCallum, a Crown lawyer in Port Coquitlam as well as the Attorney General of Canada, the Minister of Justice of the Province of B.C. She is seeking general damages, special damages, loss of future earning capacity and the reinstatement of her security clearance and her employment at the RCMP. Cpl. Jamie Chung, spokesperson for the Coquitlam RCMP, said members from the detachment would not comment on the notice of civil claim because it was before the courts. Dan MacDonald, the communications manager with the city of Coquitlam, also said the city would not be commenting on the matter. I n fo r m at i o n c o n tained in a notice of civil claim has not be proven in a court of law. The defendants have 21 days from the time the document was filed to respond. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Citadel Heights residents are being asked to help Canada Post stop mailbox thefts in their neighbourhood. The notices were left in super mailboxes in the Port Coquitlam subdivision earlier this week and offer up to a $2,000 Crime Stoppers reward for information relating to crimes committed against Canada Post mailboxes. Citadel Heights mailboxes have been looted repeatedly by thieves for the past several years, leading to concerns over identity theft. A Canada Post spokesperson said the Tri-City area as a whole has seen a recent increase in mail thefts but, overall, the number of mailbox break-ins is down from last year.

“Regardless, we are working closely with police to find the perpetrators,” Anick Losier said in an email, adding that in last month, two suspects were arrested by Coquitlam RCMP in connection with mail theft incidents. “We wish to remind customers in the area the need to pick up their mail daily,” Losier said. “Perpetrators tend to go at night and will only come again and again if they know that folks leave their mail in their box for a few days.” Canada Post advises that the best strategy against mail theft is for everyone to pick up their mail as quickly as possible. No further information was available on the two suspects arrested by The Tri-City News’’ deadline. spayne@tricitynews.com

‘Please don’t let him out,’ Drover pleaded in 2002 continued from front page

IN QUOTES

In 2008, he requested the automatic review of his sentence by the National Parole Board not go ahead. Abby Drover was 12 years old in 1976 when she was locked in a bunker and repeatedly raped and tortured by Hay. For most of the ordeal, she was handcuffed and often denied food and water. Hay claimed at the time that he thought he was helping the girl because he believed she was being abused. He also blamed alcohol for his crimes. Six months after she disappeared, Drover was discovered after Hay’s wife called police, fearing he was suicidal. When two Port Moody Police officers arrived, they found Hay with his pants around his ankles, emerging from a garage cupboard that concealed the entrance to the underg round room. Drover, wearing the same clothes she had disappeared in, was in the dungeon. Hay eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. In 2002, when Hay was up for parole, Drover told the parole board that her former captor should remain incarcerated. “Please don’t let him out,” she said. “I was always terrified to think of him being released and now, after hearing him speak, deny and still minimize his crimes, it horrifies me

Interactive online maps show B.C.’s worst crash locations BIG CRASH SITES IN TRI-CITIES

According to ICBC’s interactive map, which can be viewed with the online version of this story at tricitynews.com, the following spots are among the Tri-Cities’ top crash locations (number of accidents shown is for 2007 to 2011): • Brunette at freeway (Coquitlam): 2,118 • Barnet/Lougheed/Pinetree (Coquitlam): 722 • Lougheed at Shaughnessy (PoCo): 749 • St. Johns/Barnet at Ioco (Port Moody): 453

Anyone who has wondered which B.C. intersections are the most dangerous to drive, cycle or walk through can now check online for a new tool. ICBC has unveiled interactive maps that display its crash data going back up to five years for every local city. Many of the worst sites in the Lower Mainland are at onand off-ramps along Highway 1, although other severely crashprone spots include

Separate maps prepared by ICBC show data on crashes involving cyclists or pedestrians. “You can really break it down to the area you live in,” ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. “So hopefully, a lot of people find it useful.” He said the auto in-

P3 for Metro incinerator? BLACK PRESS

Metro Vancouver’s proposed waste-to-energy project may end up being privately financed if the regional district’s application to Ottawa for federal funding as a private-public partnership is approved. The application for P3 Canada funding has split directors on the regional board, with some warning that building a new incinerator as a P3 could dramatically drive up the costs for taxpayers. D e l t a M ayo r L o i s Jackson said the situation is reminiscent of the Canada Line, where private investors borrowed the money to build the $2-billion rapid transit line at much higher interest rates than if it had been publicly financed. She noted the region gets favourable interest rates through its membership in the Municipal Finance Authority. “I have no problem with doing a P3 for design-build,” Jackson said. “But finance, I think, is not a wise choice. All that money and interest has to be paid back and the taxpayer ends up paying back a higher rate of interest.” P3 Canada-eligible projects must give the private partner not just a designbuild role but also one of either operating, maintaining or financing it. Metro’s application proposes a design-build-finance-operate P3 because projects with the most private sector involvement are expected to be preferred for funding. Board vice-chair Richard Walton supported

to distribute more than $525 million by the end of 2013, with grants limited to 25% of a project’s capital cost. Metro’s current wasteto-energy plant in south Burnaby was developed as a design-build-operate P3, with the region financing it and retaining ownership.

air quality in the constrained airshed. Metro is also far from deciding where a new waste-to-energy plant might be built and whether it uses conventional incineration or some alternative technology. The region downsized the plan earlier this year, estimating it now needs extra disposal capacity of 250,000 to 400,000 tonnes per year — down from 500,000 to 600,000 — in light of declining garbage volumes. jnagel@blackpress.ca

The City has received an application to amend the Citywide Ofﬁcial Community Plan (CWOCP) relating to the property located at 2 King Edward Street. The applicant is proposing amendments to certain design elements of the Waterfront Village Centre (Fraser Mills) Neighbourhood Plan. The proposed amendments will not affect already approved land uses or densities for the Fraser Mills site. The proposed changes include: • The Main Street Retail to be constructed in Phase 1 rather than in a later phase. • The creation of additional public and private open space. • A larger urban plaza. • A redesigned pier to accommodate public activities and a public art element. • A relocated private amenity building closer to the village core. • Ability to accommodate mid-rise buildings ranging in height from 7 to 17 storeys. (The plan currently accommodates only high-rise and low-rise buildings and no changes are proposed to the total number or height of high-rise buildings permitted).

Metro staff and consultants are still determining a recommended business model for the new plant ahead of a call for proposals from potential partners.

A collection of two do z en hand-knitted teddy bears will be going to Port Moody children in crisis after making a quick stop at the Ioco United Church. The bears, which were made by church member Lesley Ebenstiner, were blessed and commissioned into service as trauma bears during the May 27 sermon, and were donated to the Port Moody Police Department’s victim services last Wednesday afternoon. R e v. S h a r i l y n n Upsdell said it was a passing mention of a prayer shawl she was knitting for a friend that got Ebenstiner thinking. “She said, ‘I have all these bears and they’re just filling up the computer room, and my husband is getting really tired of them,’” Upsdell said. She made some calls and found that PMPD’s victim services workers would happily take them. Roselle McQuillan, the victim services coordinator, said the bears

Ioco United Church Rev. Sharilynn Russell shows off the knitted teddy bears that will be going to Port Moody Police Victim Services. The bears were knitted by church member Lesley Ebensteiner. are a special tool when working with people who have been affected by crime or some other trauma. “Especially for children — and not just children, actually — at a time of crisis, having something like a bear or stuffed toy brings a little bit of comfort to someone going through a very traumatic event,” McQuillan said. The soft, plush bears are knitted in brown and g rey wool, and sport sweaters of various colours; it took Ebenstiner about two years to amass the collection.

“If I’m watching a program or listening to music, I like to keep my hands busy,” she said. Ebenstiner crafts them out of spare yarn from other projects “rather than have that yarn go to waste.” And now the bears and Upsdell’s prayer shawl have inspired a whole new outreach program for Ioco United. The kids in church the day Upsdell showed off her shawl were so captivated that they asked for lessons. A handful of church ladies happily obliged and the kids have since been busy knitting squares

Mountie moves T

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

here has been much outrage over the RCMP decision to ship a Mountie who abused his position as head of a polygraph unit in Edmonton to B.C. Don Ray exposed himself, had sex with subordinates, and kept a well-stocked liquor cabinet in his crime lab. His punishment for all of this was to be demoted to sergeant from staff-sergeant, lose 10 days pay and come to B.C. From a public relations perspective, it was like spraying a wasp nest with insect repellent — in the middle of the day. The B.C. public is extremely cynical about the RCMP as an organization right now. This is the result of a number of incidents. The most notable ones are the widespread perception that some men within the RCMP systematically harass female members and civilian workers; the Tasering death of a confused Polish man at the Vancouver Airport; the Mountie who left the scene of a fatal accident and fortified himself with vodka; and the shooting death of an unarmed prisoner at the Houston police detachment. (Most recently, a former Coquitlam RCMP civilian employee filed suit for alleged harassment.) Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, who has taken over as the top Mountie in B.C., says things will change — but Ray’s transfer tells people that things aren’t changing. Coming on the heels of renewal of the RCMP contract in B.C. for a 20-year period, it’s too much for many. The vast majority of Mounties are upright, honest people whose devotion to the force’s goal to serve and protect is obvious. It would, thus, be hard to believe that most of them aren’t as disgusted with the decision in regard to Ray as the rest of us are. It’s even harder to imagine that the RCMP brass who made the decision couldn’t see the terrible public optics of the move. – The Surrey-North Delta Leader (Black Press)

Chaos reigns in legislature in the wake of HST BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made. The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change before the government choked off debate and shut it down for the summer. This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month. For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all. It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all. The NDP opposition screamed bloody murder about this travesty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes to meet the

2012 CCNA

BC Liberal government’s arbitrary deadline. Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan sniping that substitutes for alternative ideas. The good news is that this mad rush wasn’t a calculated scheme to ram through unpopular, unfair measures. Quite the contrary. The BC Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin. Here’s a partial list of the marching orders: • Get rid of the harmonized sales tax and bring back a computerized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax. • Unclog the court system, which has become so constipated that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time. • And find a way to make our growing population of urban anarchists and assorted other deadbeats pay to ride transit.

Who is a busker? On Your Marks... Get Set...

Upset & unsettled over plan changes The Editor, Re. “How high? Some residents slam Windsor Gate plans” (The TriCity News, May 30). There are a lot of different developments and neighbourhoods to choose from in the TriCities. We chose to live in the Windsor Gate community based on the vision and the renderings and model of the area we were presented by Polygon less than one year ago. We could have lived in or near any of the highrises surrounding the City Centre but we didn’t want to live in or near the tall buildings, their long shadows or the busy streets. We are as close and as far from Town Centre as we want to be. We have one of the largest decks at Roycroft and we get sunshine almost the whole day; once the highrises are built, we will be lucky to get a couple of hours.

The Editor, Re. “Would you like food with tunes?” (The Tri-City News, May 24) and “Is Port Moody regulating buskers a good thing for the community?” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, June 1). I celebrate the idea of allowing licensed musicians to play in public places to promote the City of the Arts. A performance by a talented musician can add to the artsy atmosphere in our city’s public gathering places. But my question is this: If someone decides to take advantage of a sunny day by playing their guitar in a park, are they now breaking the law? Do I need a licence to jam in public even if I’m not soliciting donations from passers-by? And how will the bylaw enforcement officers know the difference between buskers and people who are just entertaining themselves? Amy Carruthers, Port Moody

B.C. gets top marks for 2011 milk recycling efforts Environment

Over 15 Million milk empties recycled at Return-It Depots in 2011 British Columbians get top marks for their milk carton recycling efforts as over 15 million milk containers were returned to participating Return-It Depots last year. “The volume of milk containers returned to participating ReturnIt Depots has tripled since 2006.” says Mike Dick, president of the BC Dairy Council.

Rinse and crush milk containers for recycling Preparing milk containers for recycling is easy; simply rinse them out and crush them. This stops the cartons and jugs from smelling and makes them more compact to store and carry. It also facilitates the recycling process. Don’t forget to remove and bring in the caps too, because they get recycled separately.

proving to be a huge success. Services are provided by Encorp Pacific, which manages the ReturnIt Depots throughout the province that accept milk containers for recycling. Since the company was first contracted to service the voluntary milk recycling program in 2006, the number of Return-It Depots that accept milk empties has more than doubled from 70 to 166. The growing network of participating Return-It Depots has made it easier for British Columbians to do the right thing and recycle responsibly. Research shows that the average BC household empties 6.5 milk containers every month and that there are more than 1.8 million households in B.C., so the potential impact on the environment is significant.

There’s no refund on milk empties (because you didn’t pay a deposit), but you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing the right thing.

T he city of Por t Coquitlam will be looking to members of the community to help clean up some of its streets, parks and trails. Staf f are proposing an Adopt-A-Street program, which would allow residents to take charge of a given area to ensure that it is safe and well-maintained. “The emphasis is increasing the sense of community that we have,” said Larry Wheeler, the city’s acting director of parks and recreation. “It allows people to feel a greater sense of ownership in their public properties.” The report states that the initiative would benefit the community by promoting physical activity and encouraging greater social interaction between residents. It also increases residents’ connection with their natural environment, Wheeler said. One issue that came

up during the development of the proposal has to do with how the Adopt-A-Street program would affect unionized city staff members. Wheeler said discussions have taken place to ensure that the work that is being conducted by volunteers goes beyond what the city already offers in the way of maintenance to its parks and trails. “We like to see it as added value,” Wheeler said. “Staff will still continue to do the work that they do and this would be over and above.” CUPE Local 498, which represents city staff in Port Coquitlam, has endorsed the program, said the staff report. Council is expected to vote on the report at a meeting next month. If the proposal is successful, it would be open to all volunteers, including businesses, community organizations, schools, families or individuals who complete the application process.

A longtime friend and advisor to former Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini is now the constituency assistant to the newly elected MLA. Trasolini, who in April won the Port Moody-Coquitlam seat under the NDP banner to replace BC Liberal MLA Iain Black, announced this week he had recently named Gray Giovannetti to run his community office.

M e t ro Va n c o u ve r mayors had no legal leg to stand on in April when they voted to rescind a property tax increase for TransLink that was originally passed last fall as a backup measure to finance transit expansion. T r a n s L i n k Commissioner Martin Crilly made that point in a recent Mayors Council meeting, saying he could not allow the perception to remain that mayors could at any time revoke a legally binding supplement they previously approved. “In my view the resolution that was passed has no legal force,” Crilly said in an interview. “I believe TransLink is obliged to deliver the services, projects and programs that were approved in the 2012 Moving Forward plan.” TransLink could not reasonably make plans if its funding sources were not binding and Crilly said he would never have let the mayors vote on the supplement if they could later change their minds and reverse it. The mayors’ April 12 vote to cancel the $30 million property tax led TransLink to freeze several expansion projects, including the planned Highway 1 express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge and a new B-Line express bus down King George Highway in Surrey. The decisions came after the province refused to g rant new funding sources for TransLink. But Crilly’s view that the retraction is not valid does not necessarily mean the tax hike and the bus service upgrades are back on again. TransLink officials, acting in line with the mayors’ intent, have indicated they could draw up a revised supplement that replaces the existing one – eliminating the $23 property tax in-

crease per ave r a g e home over the next two years as well as projects that can’t CRILLY be funded by other means. The original supplement approved the twocent gas tax hike in April and the property tax hike was to kick in only if the province and mayors failed to agree on a new TransLink funding source, which is what happened. Crilly, however, said he’s still not sure how the property tax can legally be unwound. “There is no reverse gear,” he said, noting that funding increases that mayors approve in a supplement become locked into TransLink’s base plan (over which mayors have no vote) for future years. But at the same time, Crilly said he hasn’t found any enforcement mechanism in the legislation that could compel TransLink to raise its property tax, as authorized, to deliver the promised services. One way out of the problem would be if re-

Court finds Salemink not criminally responsible for death of his mother By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Blake Salemink, a Coquitlam man accused of setting a house fire that killed his mother, has been found not guilty by reason of mental disorder. Judge Paul Williamson said the 25-year-old accused had a lengthy history of mental illness and his condition appeared to be deteriorating before the April 19, 2010 incident. “His behaviour and actions were confused in the lead-up to the fire,” Williamson said F riday mor ning in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. “At the time of the offence, the accused was disorganized and lacked the ability to focus... He had frequent contact with police and mental health personnel.” The case will now be

sent to the B.C. Review Board, where a panel of psychiatrists and lawyers will determine the course of treatment. Salemink’s history of mental illness dates back to 2004, when he was 17 years old. In 2008, he was sent to Royal Columbian Hospital suffering from a psychotic relapse and later spent time at Riverview Hospital. He was released from the hospital later that year under the care of Tri-Cities Mental Health despite the wishes of his mother, Colette Salemink, that he remain in supportive housing. Salemink moved in with his mother and, in the months leading up to the fire, Williamson said police contact with the family increased. On April 17, two days before the incident, Coquitlam RCMP officers visited the home after Salemink

threatened to kill his mother. The next day, he bought a bus ticket to Tijuana and the following morning, at around 4 a.m., he called a taxi to the home and asked to be driven to the U.S. border. While en route, neighbours of the Burian Drive home began calling 911 with reports of a fire at Colette Salemink’s home. By the time fire crews arrived, the house was engulfed in fire, with heavy smoke and flames venting through the roof. The 59-year-old woman was found on the main floor of the home. Firefighters removed her and started medical treatment before taking her to hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Coquitlam Fire and Rescue Chief Tony Delmonico said at the time investigators believed she succumbed to

the smoke and gas from the fire. Salemink was then arrested in Salem, Ore., where he spent a brief time in hospital before being turned over to Canadian authorities. He has resided in the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital at Colony Farm since his arrest. Salemink’s lawyer, Lois Salmond, said the incident could have been prevented had the provincial government invested more in mental health facilities and shelter for the mentally ill. “This was a very tragic series of events,” she said. “In this case, it is very obvious where the system failed.” Had there been more beds at Riverview, she said her client’s mother would not have been compelled to take in her son and he could have been placed in the care of trained hospital staff.

“This woman was his caretaker and had sought help a number of times in the lead-up to this incident,” Salmond said. “The government should take notice. This could have been avoided... if a shelter had been available and had there been more mental health resources available.”

Oppal gets more time to finish Pickton inquiry Probe won’t add hearing dates By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Commissioner Wally Oppal has been given an extra four months to finish the Missing Women Inquiry’s report on how police failed to stop Port Coquitlam serial killer Robert Pickton much sooner. Oppal had been under pressure to hand down findings and recommendations by June 30 — a deadline that had already been extended six months — but will now have until Oct. 31, Justice Minister Shirley Bond said last Thursday. “We can’t have gone through all of this to not come back with a report that is as credible and significant as it should be,” Bond said. “I need a series of recommendations that British

Columbians have confidence in.” She said Oppal made a “compelling” argument for an extension of the inquiry, which has so far cost the province $6.4 million. Bond predicted the bill won’t rise as quickly now that the inquiry is winding down. She said the inquiry has been a challenge because of its broad scope. “The mandate was about police conduct, and it’s hard to separate that at times from systemic concerns about the fate of aboriginal women in our province,” she said. The inquiry was boycotted from the outset by most aboriginal and women’s groups, who complained then about a narrow focus and argued more recently for an extension to call more witnesses. It also faced another delay when the lawyer repre-

senting aboriginal interests quit in protest — saying the inquiry was dominated by police lawyers — and had to be replaced. The inquiry has ended its hearings and final submissions are to wrap up by the end of this week. The Missing Women Inquiry heard from 80 witnesses, conducted public policy forums and commissioned various reports that Oppal will consider. Much testimony explored how both Vancouver Police

and the RCMP failed to target Pickton more intensively after he nearly killed a woman who escaped from his Port Coquitlam farm in early 1997. Officers also got repeated tips that Pickton could be killing sex-trade workers from the Downtown Eastside in 1998. He was finally arrested in February 2002 and was eventually convicted on six counts of second-degree murder, although he boasted to an undercover cop he killed 49 women.

Coquitlam cops carry torch for Special O athletes Law Enforcement Torch Run Thurs. Yo u c a n c h e e r on members of the Coquitlam RCMP tomorrow (Thursday) as they run to raise money for

Special Olympics BC. The officers are taking part in the BC Law Enforcement Torch Run, which runs from June 5 to 8 in nearly 30 communities across B.C. The Torch Run has been raising awareness

and funds for Special Olympics athletes and programs since 1990. Law enforcement personnel complete a run of three to five kilometres and then join Special Olympics athletes and community

members for a post-run celebration. In Coquitlam, the festivities take place June 7 at the Spirit Square (3005 Burlington Dr., across from city hall) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be a barbe-

cue lunch, a chance to have your photo taken with the RCMP Safety B e a r a n d s p e e ch e s from local officials and Special Olympics representatives. “I think we can all learn something from

these athletes,” said Coquitlam RCMP Supt. Claude Wilcott in a release. “They train and compete for the pure love of their sport. I’m always proud to see the Coquitlam RCMP team show up to support

the Special Olympics team.” Local runners are collecting donations online. Visit www.specialolympics.bc.ca and search for the Law Enforcement Torch Run under the Ways to Give section.

Have a bicycle? Ride the Tour (in PoCo – no Lycra required) Bike ride Sunday explores PoCo’s heritage, history By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

ou don’t need to travel to France or Italy to take part in a big cycling event. The second annual Tour de PoCo runs on Sunday, giving riders 10 years of age or older the opportunity to get outdoors and see some local historical landmarks while travelling on two wheels.

“Everyone can look forward to getting out on the bike as part of an organized group,” said Steven Smith, a director of the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society, which organizes the event. “You can learn about some of the parks, some of the trails and the historical sites along the way.” Last year, the Tour de PoCo focused on the south side of the c i t y. C yc l i s t s r o d e the Traboulay PoCo T rail loop through Colony Farm to Citadel Landing, with the theme of the ride focusing on

the city’s settlers. This year, Smith said the focus will be on the north side of the municipality, starting at Lions Park, travelling along the Coquitlam River before breaking off toward the Hyde Creek Park area. Riders will then travel by Terry Fox secondary, past James Park elementary and through Aggie Park before circling back to the starting point. The entire trip is approximately 11.5 km. There will be several pre-arranged stops along the way where members of

What you’ll need Here’s what you need to participate in the Tour de PoCo on Sunday, June 10: • a bicycle equipped with a bell and horn; • a helmet; • a small repair kit, including a tire patch and pump; • water, snacks and sunscreen; • high-visibility clothing; • a camera. the PoCo Heritage and Cultural Society will discuss the history of an area or a given landmark. “We are going down

into the farming area,” Smith said. “We are going to talk a bit about the farms and the history of farming.” Smith said the route

is mostly flat and travels over paved and gravel paths at a comfortable pace. The cost to participate on June 10 is free but donations are always appreciated. Those who would like to participate in the Tour de PoCo should email pocoheritage1@gmail.com or call 604-927-8403. All participants are required to sign a liability waiver before starting off.

Check out beach reads A GOOD READ Dianne Allen

ummer is a time to stray from the beaten path. To read books that might elude you in the busier season. So grab your sunscreen and a towel and check out these picks for summer’s best reads. Rebecca a is Daphne du Maurier’s most famous work, a tightknit story that takes the reader into a world of paranoia. The Rebecca of the title is dead, killed in a sailing accident, leaving the way open for her millionaire husband to marry a naive young woman. Once married, they live in their fabulous country estate, Manderley, where the young wife begins to believe that her home is haunted by the memory of Rebecca. The book opens with the famous lines: “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me.” The Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett is an ingenious espionage thriller set in the Second World War. The Needle is Hitler’s prize agent and only he knows that the allies are disguising their invasion plans with a phoney armada of ships and planes. Filled with a frightening richness of historical detail that gives the reader a feel for the period, The Eye of the Needlee is suspenseful and intriguing — you will not be able to put this book down. Chocolatt by Joanne Harris, an enchanting, sensual novel about pleasure and temptation, pulls you into a land where you want to reside forever. This book has a luscious, fairy talelike sensation centred around the magical touch of Vianne, a notso-ordinary shopkeeper who sets up a chocolate shop in the centre of town. Be careful with this book a it will leave you with intense cravings for chocolate. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is a story about a 90-year-old man remembering his days with the circus during the Great Depression. The story moves between his time with the circus and his life now in a nursing home. You will be drawn into the world of ringmasters, elephants and sideshows. You will also experience the older Jacob’s fight to survive the indignities of old age. When Jacob’s parents are killed in a car crash, he is left penniless and must drop out of veterinary school. Left with no home, no family and no career, he joins the circus, where

he falls in love with Marlena, the show’s star performer. Their romance is complicated by her husband, the unbalanced, sadistic circus boss. Filled with engaging characters, Water for Elephants will draw you in and never let you go. The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells is a book that every daughter should read. It is the

Are you in PAI N

story of the complex relationships between generations of women. It gets you thinking about the person your mom is and the history she had before you. It is about relationships with your parents, love and forgiveness, and what it means to grow up and get old and dream. An incredibly moving, rollercoaster ride of a book. And, finally, just for

fun, Jaws by Peter Benchley. What better book to read at the beach than one about a 5,000 lb. great white shark cruising the beaches of a small town. We’ve all seen the movie but the book is more complex. You’ll care about the characters, Sheriff Brody, the hero, Hooper, the rich kid marine biologist and Quint the battered fisherman. This book should come with a warning, you just might be afraid to go into the water. If you are looking for more great titles, don’t hesitate to ask at your local library. Librarians are always more that happy to recommend books for you to read. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Dianne Allan works at Terry Fox Library.

Join us on Saturday June 9 and Sunday, June 10 for Festival Coquitlam’s 23rd Annual Teddy Bear Picnic at Town Centre Park (Pinetree Way and Pipeline Road) in Coquitlam. New for this year is a family friendly free concert on Saturday afternoon featuring Charlotte Diamond , Mike Battie and Kokoma African Heritage Ensemble & MaObong Oku. On Sunday the day begins with a parade to the park from Coquitlam Town Centre at 10 a.m. and activities at the park begin at 11:00am and continue through until 4:30pm. The Teddy Bear Picnic is a great day of family fun, entertainment and adventure. Admission is $3, Children under 3 are FREE. The Festival Coquitlam Society is made up of a group of dedicated volunteers who spend countless hours of their time to ensure there are safe events to entertain the entire family. Children and adults can enjoy many exciting and fun-filled activities. The little ones are encouraged to bring their teddies in for their annual medical checkup at the Teddy Bear Clinic. Constant entertainment will be provided by a mix of roving entertainers and main-stage performers who are sponsored by Coast Capital Savings. To avoid long gate lineups, prepaid admission wrist bands can be purchased at City Centre Aquatic Complex, Chimo Pool and Pinetree

Community Centre. The Kinsmen Club of Coquitlam shuttle bus will be providing service for the day. The Shuttle bus service will run from 9:00am to 4:00pm. This service is provided free of charge thanks to the Kinsmen Club of Coquitlam. The Shuttle bus will be providing transportation between the Teddy Bear

Site and Coquitlam Centre. The Coquitlam Kinsman shuttle bus is wheelchair accessible and another option for your convenience and transportation needs. The two stops are located at the south- west corner of the stadium and outside Coquitlam Centre main entrance, on Northern. The shuttle bus will run every half hour.

Festival Coquitlam Society will again be presenting the annual Teddy Bear Picnic Parade which will stroll down Pinetree Way Sunday, June 10 at 10 a.m. This event marks the beginning of an exciting, fun filled day, as it precedes the opening of the Teddy Bear Picnic at Town Centre Park. This year’s Grand Parade theme is Teddy Bear’s ‘n’ Wheels and this years Grand Marshall of the parade is Bob McNary. Entries in this year’s parade include marching bands, mascots, community youth groups, emergency services, and of course the clowns. “The enthusiasm, community spirit and the willingness to give back to community by participants involved in the parade is what keeps me involved in this event, as well as the other venues that Festival Coquitlam hosts over the summer” says Malcolm Kennedy, Festival Coquitlam’s parade coordinator. “We have a wonderful and diverse community; is evident in the Teddy Bear Picnic Parade every year. Without the dedication and participation of these groups we would not have a parade to enjoy. I would like to invite all the families in this great community of ours to gather up the kids, their teddy bears, and join together in celebrating a day of family fun.”

Diamond rocks out with kids Teddy Bear festival By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

fter more than a quarter of a century as a children’s entertainer, C h a rl o t t e D i a m o n d t a ke s pleasure in the unexpected. Last week, while performing in Stockton, Calif., at a migrant education preschool family night, a dad jumped on stage for Dicky Dicky Dinosaur, reversed his hat, slid on his sunglasses and rapped with Diamond. “He had the audience in the palm of his hand,” she said during a phone interview at a home near San Francisco. “That, to me, is why I do what I do.” And Diamond has many opportunities throughout the year to be entertained at her own performances. On average, she conducts 150 workshops and shows annually around North America though, these days, she prefers to stay close to B.C. “Now I’m at the stage of being a grandma and wanting to be near home,” said Diamond, whose five- and two-year-old grandkids live in Pitt Meadows. “So when I go, I tend to clump events together and that makes sense from a touring point of view because it costs so much to fly and transport CDs around.”

Diamond said she loves nothing more than performing before local crowds — many of whom grew up learning her famous songs such as I Am A Pizza, Four Hugs A Day and Octopus (Slippery Fish) — and she also enjoys singing in French and Spanish, too. Diamond, a former school teacher, majored in biology and French at UBC and picked up Spanish through conversation with her Latin American friends on campus. About half of her concerts are in the romance languages, she said. For example, last month, Diamond played a French/ English concert at Dallington School in Ontario; the next week, she performed six concerts in French for the Duffering-Peel Catholic school district; and, later this month, Diamond will be part of a Spanish/English conference in Newport Beach, Calif., speaking on the topic “The Joy of Singing Leads to a Love of Language.” At that event, she’ll also work with teachers to encourage them to write their own songs. “California is finally picking up on the fact that they have this large population that speaks Spanish and they have been cutting back part of their education

out of the curriculum,” she said. “Now they’re putting it back in because these are people that speak this language. Let’s get them to feel that they have more ability within that language. Let’s educate them in that language. “Their English can only be helped by that because the more children are interested in books and reading and singing in a language, the more fluent they become in language,” she said. Still, vocals aren’t the only method Diamond communicates in: She also incorporates American Sign Language. “I found that when I was switching from English to French to Spanish, sign language became the glue and I realized the more props I used and the more movement-oriented my presentation was, the more everybody joined in and the sign language really helps. It is definitely part of my show,” she said. • Charlotte Diamond will appear on the Coast Capital stage at Town Centre Park on Saturday, June 9 at 4 p.m. as part of the annual Teddy Bear Picnic Festival, which runs all weekend.

Painter pays tribute to his SD43 days By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Lynn Kenneth Pecknold’s new exhibit, which opens tomorrow (Thursday) in the Leonore Peyton Salon at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts, will be an homage of sorts. Now a Port Alberni r e s i d e n t , Pe c k n o l d used to teach art at Como Lake middle, Centennial secondary and George Pearkes junior high school — and was School District 43’s art supervisor — in the 1960s and 70s. “I was fairly involved in the arts scene when I was in Coquitlam for 12 years,” he said from his home last week, “and I have some very fond memories of my time there. I had neat kids and neat staff. There were some very dedicated teachers that I worked with.” Pecknold’s show, titled Memories Revisited — A Teacher’s Return, is comprised of 45 multimedia, multi-coloured abstract pieces. And the exhibit includes a digital design series called d Reflections, which he worked on with his one of his past senior students to interpret the roots of stumps washed up on beaches.

Lately, twisted rope, strings and knots have been a source of fascination and Pecknold shows them in 11 of his recent paintings. “When I’m on the BC Ferries and I see the ropes just lying there, I have to photograph them and think about that,” the septuagenarian said, adding, ‘I’m often looking for subliminal imagery when I work, images that are hidden within something else. I don’t start with a lot of preconceived ideas. I just like the randomness of it... then I let the images pop in.” Meanwhile, another

former SD43 art teacher will showcase pieces from his students in the Mezzanine Gallery this month. Students in Don Portelance’s art enhancement workshop — an enrichment program for artists ages 14 to 20 — will highlight art from their studio sessions and field trips. As well, PdA visual arts students will host their annual show in the Atrium Gallery. • The opening reception for the three displays at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam) starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Best 4th, Cents 6th in soccer BC’s Devils fall in semis to Surrey champs By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

r. Charles Best Blue Devils and the Centennial Centaurs performed admirably at last weekend’s B.C. AAA senior girls high school soccer championships in Surrey. Only a handful of teams showed a touch better. The Blue Devils took fourth spot while the Cents settled for sixth in the 16-team affair, with Surrey’s Panorama Ridge Thunder shaving Kelowna’s Mt. Boucherie Bears 1-0 in Saturday’s championship game at Newton Athletic Park. The Thunder bounced Best 4-1 in Friday’s semifinals, with the Blue Devils wrapping up tournament play with another 4-1 defeat to the third-place Handsworth Royals of North Vancouver. Centennial was blanked 2-0 by the Point Grey Greyhounds in the battle for fifth spot. “The school and I are still very proud of this achievement, since the team was mostly made up of junior players from Grades 9 and 10. The future looks promising,” said Blue Devils head coach Alfonso Napoletano, who steered the squad to a 19-3 overall record this season. “The team is already looking forward to next year to again try to qualify for the provincials and hopefully do even better.” The Blue Devils finished with two wins and a tie in their four-team round-robin pool, with victories over South Kamloops (2-1) and North Delta’s Seaquam Seahawks (5-0) while knotting Campbell River’s Carihi (0-0), to placed first via goal differential before falling in the semis to the Thunder. Against Panorama Ridge, the score was tied in the second 1-1 after Best’s Andrea Perrota tallied on a great finish, only to have the eventual-champion Thunder strike for three goals in the final 20 minutes to prevail. Not helping matters for the Blue Devils was losing star defender Nadia Karmali, who went on to make the Commissioner’s 11 all-star squad, to injury early in the game. “It was disheartening loss because for most of the game we were the better team,” Napoletano said. The Centaurs, meanwhile, grabbed second in their round-robin pool with victories over Victoria’s Claremont Spartans (3-1) and Surrey’s Fleetwood Park Dragons (2-0), coupled with a loss to Handsworth (3-1). After downing the Kitsilano Blue Demons 1-0 in one of Friday’s cross-over matches, the Cents simply ran out of steam the next day versus Point Grey. Olivia Aguiar was Centennial’s recipient of Commissioner’s 11 all-star honours. “We were down to 11 players, no subs, everyone exhausted [and] banged up,” said Centaurs head coach Larry Moro. “It wasn’t an artistic success but we competed hard as always.” Centennial concluded the season with an 18-5-1 overall record.

K.K. Savitsky of Centennial celebrates a goal Thursday with teammate Sierra Leung (2).

A trio of Tri-City male sprinters burned up the track in 46th annual B.C. high school track and field championships Friday and Saturday at soggy Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. And three female javelin throwers from the community left a most impressive one-twothree mark on the infield. Nathan Georg e of the Centennial Centaurs did a double-win dash, claiming both the boys 200- and 400-metre races in 21.80 and 47.89 seconds respectively. Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils’ James Linde captured the boys 100m final in 11.14 ticks, while Hodson Harding of the

Gleneagle Talons was second to George in the 400m in 49.36. George, who won the 200m at provincials also last year, and Harding are teammates on the Coquitlam Cheetahs track and field club team. Meanwhile, Linde was second to George in the 200m in 22.04, while the British-born Harding was sixth in that event in 23.15. In the women’s javelin final, Teagan Rasche of the Riverside Rapids took top spot with a 39.18m heave, followed by runner-up Tiffani Hernandez of Dr. Charles Best with 37.51 and third-place finisher Britnni Wolczyk of the Archbishop Carney Stars with 37.21.

Like that wasn’t enough, Rasche also won the silver medal in the girls 1500-metre race walk in 7:48.52, just behind winner Nina Briggs of Victoria’s Oak Bay in 7:45.24.

A SPECIAL PLAY

A player gets ready to throw during a BC Special Olympics regional softball tournament last weekend at McLean Park.

Goals tough task for slumping A’s Coquitlam Adanacs opened the Wester n Lacrosse Association season with a victory. Since then, things haven’t gone so hot for the team that’s looking to improve on last year’s last-place showing. Shayne Jackson’s goal with fewer than eight minutes remaining proved the winner Saturday a s t h e A’s were trimmed 7-6 by the Langley Thunder at Poirier Sports Complex. The result dropped the A’s to 1-3, while Langley improved to 2-2. The teams were tied 2-2 after the first period and the Thunder took a 5-4 margin into the third, where C o q u i t l a m ’s Kev i n Olson scored on a power play nine minutes in to even the count 6-6 before Jackson struck for the eventual deciding tally. Scoring continues to plague the A’s, who have scored only 24 goals in their four games thus far for a league-worst

average of six markers per game. Olson finished with two goals for the A’s, who got another pair from Daniel McQuade. Steve McKinlay and Jason Jones were the only other Coquitlam players to strike net. Langley was led by for mer Coquitlam Jr. Adanac star Athan Iannucci, who scored once and assisted on two others. The A’s visit the 4-0 Victoria Shamrocks tonight (Wednesday) before retur ning home to face the 3-1 N e w We s t m i n s t e r Salmonbellies on Saturday, 7 p.m at Poirier.

SAINTS SLIP

Brock Whiteley, Matt Delmonico and Cory Takahara each scored twice but their PoCo Saints were shaved 9-8 Friday by the Delta Islanders in a B.C. Junior ‘A’ af fair in Ladner.

Can. calls d’Andrade Adrien d’Andrade of Coquitlam is one of 18 players who’ve made the Canadian junior national men’s field hockey team that will compete in a threematch series versus host Mexico from June 15-17
