Sports gets a second look Teamwork urged to better utilize rec facilities By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
If Port Coquitlam wants to increase participation in amateur athletics, the city, school district and local sports groups need to pool their resources and work together. That is the message from Mike Bowen, a former city councillor and chair of the new PoCo S p o r t s A l l i a n c e, a g roup he hopes will facilitate an increase in cooperation among the various stakeholders. “Spor ts is at a crossroads here,” he said. “Physical activity is at a crossroads. We can’t sit back and do what we have always done.” That does not necessarily mean spending millions of dollars to build shiny new sports facilities, he added. High-quality ice rinks, baseball diamonds and soccer fields already exist in the municipality, but are not utilized to their full capacity. “We need to use what we have now, b e t t e r, ” h e s a i d . “ W h e n yo u h ave multi-million dollar facilities that are not being used, why would you spend millions to build more?” One example Bowen notes, is the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex. see A FOCUS, FOCUS, page 3

Realtors Jill Oudil, president of the Burnaby/New Westminster/Tri-City division of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, and Ray Harris, REBGV vice-president, used their contacts to call for help — and cash — from a mock jail cell set up at Coquitlam Centre mall on Wednesday as part of the Cops for Cancer fundraiser. Other “arrestees” included Derek Passaglia, principal of Glen elementary; Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and Coun. Selina Robinson; and Al Boire of the Maillardville Residents’ Association. Organized by paramedic and Port Coquitlam resident Bob Lee, the annual Jail and Bail day collected about $15,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society through the “Awesome Foursome” — made up of Coquitlam RCMP’s Jen Goodings, Matt Berinbaum, Danick Nolet and Michael Murray — who are taking part in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast later this year.
Group promotes 3rd station Evergreen stop in PoMo would bring amenities By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A g ro u p o f Po r t Moody property owners wants a third Evergreen Line station in their
neighbourhood. The West Port Moody Property Owners Group, currently consisting of about two dozen property owners, says they have a plan for a privately-funded station near the bottom of the Clarke Road hill. “If we don’t get a stop there that whole sec-
tion of west Port Moody and Moody Centre isn’t going to get the chance to do what it can do,” said Jillian Hull, who represented the group as a delegation at Tuesday’s council meeting. Hull was joined by Urbanics Consultants president Philip Boname for the pitch
to council. About five years ago Urbanics worked with the Andres Wines owners on a detailed mixed-use development proposal for their property, but it was eventually shelved because of council’s concerns around the lack of infrastructure to support any significant
new development and the property’s proximity to heavy industry. In his presentation Boname said PoMo’s western edge has seen very little growth and suffers from a dire lack of city-owned facilities and community amenities like grocery stores, pharmacies and conve-
nience stores. “This offers the opportunity...to correct the imbalance of service and amenities that needs to be addressed and to give residents in the west the services that are sorely needed,” he added. see MORE MORE,, page 3

Cookie biz gets people talking By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The New View Society is putting a cheeky spin on mental illness with its latest business venture: Crazy Cookies. And with names like C o c o a C o f f e e C h a o s, Caramel Craisin Craze and Peanut Butter Madness, the cookies are a quirky ice-breaker when it comes to the often taboo subject. “We wanted to bring levity to the situation, and maybe this is a starting point to talk about it,” said New View employment specialist Donna Bonertz, who has been spearheading the development of the Crazy Cookie Company for the last two years. “At the time people looked at me askew, but they’ve come on board,” Bonertz said of the company name, adding she was hoping it would spur people to “just talk about this stuff instead of circumventing the subject.” The venture provides paid employment for at least one New View client, and Bonertz said if the cookies catch on there could be opportunities to expand and be distributed for sale at any number of stores. “It’s essentially an effort to provide... paid employment, and reach out to the community and break

Donna Bonertz down the stigma that surrounds mental illness,” Bonertz said. Each week New View staffers, as well as one or more clubhouse members, head in to the kitchen to make enough dough for about 300 cookies, which are then packaged in smart paper bags, sealed and organized for sale at the Port Coquitlam Farmers Market on Thursdays. A bag with half a dozen cookies costs $5 and single cookies are available for $1. The Craisin Craze and Coffee Chaos cookies were created by a New View staff member working with the clubhouse’s young adults, while the Peanut Butter Madness cookies are based on Bonertz’s own recipe. (A newsroom taste test declared the Coffee Chaos and Craisin Craze cookies to be rich, gooey and delicious; Peanut Butter Madness was not available at the time of testing.) Money raised goes to

Chantelle Burga, program manager with the New View Society in Port Coquitlam, works on a batch of Peanut Butter Madness cookies to be sold the next day at the farmers market. purchasing more cookiebaking supplies and wages for the New View member who leads the baking, packaging and selling of Crazy Cookies. Bonertz said paid employment is a major stepping stone for people with mental illness in their recovery. “One of the biggest things people with mental illness look for and want is a chance to participate in
the community like everyone else, with a job, friends, relationships,” she said. “Especially the working part, it really helps people live with their illness because they become so much more than a person with mental illness. “They become an employee, and it gives them a much broader brush to describe themselves with.” The New View Society also operates another so-
cial enterprise business, Suds in a Bucket, which offers a variety of cleaning, painting and landscaping services. Bonertz said Suds gives New View members and others in the community (people who may not have a disability or other barrier to employment) a chance to learn skills that will eventually help them secure long-term employment.
Between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., when most children are in school, the facility sits empty. The same goes for school gymnasiums, which are not customarily utilized after school hours. Integration between the city, schools and sports groups could allow for increased crossover, he said. Agreements have already begun to be forged between the school district and minor hockey and Bowen hopes that could lead to including hockey as part of the physical activity component in the school curriculum. “It takes a major shift in the way we think about this,” he said. “It can be difficult to wrap your head around.” The Sports Alliance will give amateur athletic groups the opportunity to speak with one voice, Bowen added, and can help organizations looking to apply for grants and funding. It will also develop a coaching clinic, which will be held in the office’s of the new Pitt River middle school when construction is complete. The clinic will provide volunteer coaches with the training and technical experience necessary to work with young athletes. So far, seed money has been provided from the city of Port Coquitlam to help launch the new Sports Alliance. Eventually, Bowen hopes the organization will become selfsufficient, relying on members, community and business support for funding.
More consultation needed, says mayor Speak up continued from front page
The tunnel portal in the area of Barnet Highway/ St. Johns and Clarke streets offers the best option for locating a third station, according to the group. Any closer to Moody Centre runs into the heritage conservation area, which would significantly limit development — and ridership — opportunities. Although there were no development plans shown at Tuesday’s meeting, the group is confident the third station could be privately funded with new development that would house up to 9,000 residents. But Mayor Mike Clay said their information from the Evergreen project team stipulates a station cost of $25 million and ridership of 15,000 people to justify a
third station. “T hat’s big g er than Klahanie, Suter Brook and Newport Village combined, and that’s just a huge number,” Clay said. “The scope of that development would be absolutely massive. It’s easy to say it wouldn’t have the same impact, but another 50% increase in the population would have a huge effect, no matter where it is in town.” Clay also noted the city has worked extensively on its official community plan and there would need to be more consultation with residents before council lobbied for a third Evergreen station. Portions of the OCP affecting Moody Centre and par ts of Seaview, Coronation Park and Inlet Centre are now being

A design charette is planned for tomorrow (Saturday) and, earlier this week, the city’s economic development committee hosted an executive briefing for local business owners on the Evergreen Line and how it affects the
OCP. Hull and Boname pointed to Coquitlam as an example of how the city can negotiate for an additional station based on a private financing model. “This time we know there’s a precedent,” Hull said. And even if the station isn’t built now, the group wants to see the project
team at least do the work necessary to allow for a third station in the future. According to the group’s report, the technical amendments needed would not be prohibitive. “Viable options include a station in the tunnel under the Barnet or a flattening of the guideway for a portion of the line close to the Barnet,” the report states. “It’s a great suggestion but I’m not an engineer,” Clay said, adding council’s original position on the third station — that it be located near the north end of Queen Street — is based on the Mur ray-Clarke Connector being incorporated into the mix. “If the Murray-Clarke Connector isn’t being built then the decision should be revisited by council.”

Anmore councillor resigns over CAO hire By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Anmore Coun. Tim Laidler said he will resign his position on council because he does not agree with the method in which the village selected its new chief administration officer. He stated in a letter that the process for selecting Tim Har ris, the new CAO, was not transparent and had considerable interference LAIDLER from “outside sources.� Laidler also questioned the chosen candidate’s ability to perform the duties required of a CAO given the person’s experience and education. “I have come to the conclusion that I am unable to support a CAO/ approving officer who was not selected on the basis of best practices, higher education and extensive relevant previous experience,� he said. “I also expect a selected candidate to have taken college level courses
pertaining to municipal government.� In an interview with The Tri-City Ne ws, Laidler said he could not comment on specifics of the selection process because all of the deliberations were done in-camera. He does believe, however, that some of the private information was leaked to people outside of council, which may have influenced the process. He added he does not take issue with Harris personally, but said the process was not conducted in a fair an open manner. With slightly less than two-and-a-half years to go in the term, Laidler’s decision will force Anmore residents to go to the polls sooner than scheduled. According t o M ayo r H e a t h e r Anderson, the cost of a byelection is approximately $8,000 to $9,000, the equivalent of a 1% property tax increase. Laidler said he would have difficulty remaining on council with a CAO he felt was unquali-

More consultation needed from industry, says Royer Voluntary consultation policy changes nothing, she says By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody has adopted a policy that will seek “voluntary consultation” from its heavy industries when they increase or change the types of goods they’re handling. But it’s a move that changes little, said Coun. Zoe Royer, who introduced the motion in March. “It’s essentially taking my motion and dumbing it down... so nothing, in my opinion, has changed,” she said. The policy was adopted at a May 22 in-camera session and released as part of Tuesday’s regular council meeting. Royer asked that one of the three council members who approved the policy amend the motion to say that industrial users should consult Port Moody residents, but none volunteered. The original motion put forward by Royer called for the five Class 5 heavy industrial users in Port Moody to be required to conduct “extensive and meaningful consultation” with the city’s residents, environmental groups and council prior to any significant change in the type or volume of goods being shipped. Royer said the wat e re d - d ow n m o t i o n means industries can

continue to simply post notice of any changes, no matter how hazardous it may be. “The residents, the businesses, the stewardship groups — ev- ROYER eryone is a stakeholder in the future of Port Moody,” Royer said. “It may not benefit industry to seek public engagement because it may cause them to rethink or reshape some of the changes they want to make, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.” She questioned why there should be greater restrictions placed on a small business wanting to add a patio than on heavy industry adding the shipment of fossil fuels to its services. And Royer also questioned why the decision was made behind closed doors. Issues related to land, legal or personnel matters are made dur-
ing in-camera meetings; Royer contends that much of the discussion on her baseline industrial activity bylaw could have happened during an open council meeting. “Council hides behind this veil of closed doors, so the councillors who voted in favour of this never have to have the courage of their convictions.” Later in the meeting, Coun. Rick Glumac issued a notice of motion on a similar issue. He wants to see a resolution go to the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that would see the provincial government implement requirements ensuring that residents living close to rail lines are “fully informed” about dangerous goods being transported near their
homes. “There is something missing in provincial legislation in regards to consultation with communities regarding hazardous goods being transported by rail through urban areas,” Glumac said in an interview. He acknowledged that the city has no authority to restrict the goods being shipped by rail through Port Moody, which is why he wants to see the resolution go to the UBCM for provincial consideration. “This is a democratic society and we have a right to know what’s happening in our back yards,” he added. Glumac also issued a notice of motion that Port Moody oppose the building of the Enbridge Pipeline, which would transport oil from the Alberta tar sands to tankers in Kitimat. The two motions will be discussed at the June 26 council meeting.

A Port Moody councillor is saying “no thanks” to BC Hydro’s smart meters. At Tuesday’s meeting, Coun. Rosemary Small introduced a lengthy notice of motion on the wireless metering devices. She wants to see BC Hydro offer opt-out options to PoMo residents; provide assurances of privacy when it comes to data collection; and provide the city with the locations of all collector units and hubs, as well as data on radio frequency emissions exposure. The motion was preceded by several clauses expressing concern over the alleged health, privacy and security issues related to smart meters. “I felt every one of those was important to people,” Small said, adding she’s been hearing from residents who are being contacted by BC

Hydro about upcoming installation of smart meters — and they want to know how to stop them. “There’s a coalition against it,” said Small, who has put a sign on her hydro meter stating that she doesn’t want a smart meter. “But I think the city needs to get behind residents and say we’re not happy with what’s going on, that we’re not being given the option of opting out.” BC Hydro has installed nearly 1.9 million smart meters throughout the province. The new devices are touted as a way to restore power more quickly during an outage, keep rates low by reducing wasted electricity and giving residents a way to conserve energy. Critics, however, cite concerns relating to the health risks from radiation, privacy risks of the wireless signals and the potential for bills to increase. Small noted that BC THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Elgin St ~ circa 1920 Elgin Street has seen many changes over the years. One piece of property belonged to Frank Paxton Real Estate. (picture early 1920’s). The Milnes built on this property on Elgin in 1945 and this little house was torn down in 1969. The Milne house was replaced by Prueffer’s Men’s and Ladie’s Clothing Store. This was upscale store was divided with mens on one side and ladies on the other. This store was run by Mr. and Mrs Prueffer and one could have a custom tailored suit made. Bill Pratt remembers having a suit made there especially for his daughter’s wedding. They still have a suit bag and a hanger from the store! The Salvation Army Thrift Store took over from the Prueffer’s when they retired. The Thift Store is still here today.

Parking woes

Q WHAT WE THINK:
C
ars may soon be legislated out of existence — not by anti-idlers and environmentalists concerned about greenhouse gasses — but by city planners intent on getting rid of parking spaces in condos. Metro Vancouver argues that there are more parking stalls in condos than are actually needed and cites surveys that show young people are taking transit more and won’t need parking spaces in the future. It sounds like a neat idea: cut parking and cut housing costs while boosting transit use. Problem is, people think they don’t need parking but find they still need their cars and those vehicles end up on city streets, creating headaches for neighbours. Some folks may be able to go car-free, such as young people and seniors who live alone and don’t need to pack a lot of groceries and kids. But for everyone else, cars are still a necessity, especially in the suburbs, and cutting corners in parking spaces won’t wash.

Drinking and driving tough lesson to learn AS I SEE IT Katie Bartel
I
’ve received that phone call. It was a Sunday morning, 10 to 6, and my cellphone was incessantly ringing across the room. I tried to roll over; tried to drown out the noise with a pillow on my head; who would be calling me at such a senseless hour; I did not want to pick up that phone. Maybe something inside me knew it couldn’t be good. When I finally answered the call, it was my big brother on the other line. His voice was shaky, but he did his best to stay calm. “[Our brother’s] been airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital,” he said. “You’re the closest. You have to go now. We’ll be there as soon as we can.” I’ll never forget those words.

“When I was finally taken in to see my brother, I was lectured by the doctor that I had to put on a happy face. I could not cry.” Katie Bartel It was seven years ago this month that I found out my oldest brother, who I’ve looked up to my whole life, had been in a serious car accident — not even two minutes away from his house. He had been drinking and driving. I was the first to arrive at the hospital. After giving the ER clerk my brother’s pertinent information, I was placed in a

“family room” to await the doctor on duty to fill me in. I had no idea what to expect, I didn’t know how bad it was, I didn’t know if I’d ever see that teasing twinkle in his eyes again, if I’d ever be able to hug him, confide in him, or hear him call me ‘Kate’ again. I tried to hold it together. I knew I had to be strong. But when I overheard a paramedic across the way say to his pals, “If you ever need a reason not to drink and drive, go look at that guy in trauma one — his face is messed up!” I lost it. When I was finally taken in to see my brother, I was lectured by the doctor that I had to put on a happy face. I could not cry, and I could not have fear in my eyes. Because if he saw that, he might give up — he might not make it. I remember the tubes and the beeping of the machines. I remember how pale my brother’s skin looked against the black stubble on his face. I remember how dimin-
ished he looked in that hospital bed. I remember the nurse asking him if he knew who I was. I remember seeing him nod. And I remember the moment he turned his head to look at me, his eyes wide, scared. “Kate, I’m sorry,” he said. My brother did not die. He was not paralyzed. But he did lose his spleen, and will likely have his short term memory compromised forever. It wasn’t the first time he drove drunk, but it was the last. Listening to Kevin Brooks’ story at G.W. Graham last week brought those heartwrenching, tear-inducing, fear-ridden memories back. It doesn’t matter how old you are, how experienced you are, you are not invincible. Luck does run out. Brooks is proof. My brother is proof. Katie Bartel is a reporter with The Chilliwack Progress, a sister paper of the Tri-City News.

ill ’er up is an obsolete phrase in most cities. But not in Coquitlam, where a 40-year-old bylaw requires all gas stations (all nine of them) to be full serve. I like both that old phrase and Coquitlam’s full serve gas stations simply because it’s a nice option to have. That’s it. Anything else is over-thinking the whole thing — we’re talking about nine service stations. When it’s sleeting, or the rain is being blown sideways, I like to have the option of driving through Port Moody to Coquitlam, lowering my window two inches and asking the poor sodden attendant to “fill ’er up,” before I close the window and retreat to my warm car and CKNW. My colleague calls the full service bylaw archaic, from the 60’s, straight out of “Back to the Future” — Marty McFly and the old Texaco station — “it’s like, so 30 years ago.” Maybe. But my support for full service stations is not nostalgic pining for a time when one attendant pumped ethyl for you, one cleaned your windows, one checked your oil and showed
you the dipstick, while someone else checked your tire pressure and filled your washer fluid and radiator. No, my support for full service is simpler than such complex reminiscence. Sometimes I just like to have someone else pump the gas while I sit in the car. It’s like eating at White Spot. Once in a while, I like to have a carhop to bring my Triple O hamburger to my car (albeit on an admittedly archaic tray). My support for full serve is not because it may create a few minimum wage jobs, though I’m sure that’s important to the few who work in them. And it’s not because it’s safer for women late at night to sit in a locked car than schlepp through the rainy night to find out why the pump wouldn’t accept her credit card. No. It’s just that sometimes I like to pump my own gas in Port Moody and sometimes, on those rare days of west coast inclemency — not so much. And although today’s “jumping to the pump” may be more of a desultory stroll, Coquitlam’s full-serve stations, archaic as they may be, are simply a warmer and drier option.

In Burnaby — which doesn’t have a full-service law — the average store took in $63,000 per year compared to just $17,000 in Richmond. Similar studies in the United States have yielded similar results. Moreover, Richmond’s study indicated that the self-serve ban hampered investment in new gas stations and discouraged existing retailers from renovating or enhancing their stations. In other words, mandatory fullservice actually leads to fewer jobs. One does have to be sensitive to the fact that Coquitlam’s bylaw has a lot to do with offering the convenience to seniors and people with physical disabilities. What I would propose, however, is that each gas station be required to provide full-service upon request for those specific demographics. Frankly I’m shocked that a coalition of retailers or even a freeenterprise city councillor hasn’t already championed that change. Maybe, instead of wasting time on provincial and federal issues such as bans on shark fins and pesticides, Coquitlam city council could focus on a local issue that actually affects the daily lives of local residents.
wa yB
I
must admit that I avoid Coquitlam gas stations like the plague. And I don’t think I’m alone, on that. For those that don’t know, Coquitlam and Richmond are the only two communities in British Columbia with an archaic law that requires all gas stations to be fullservice. That’s right, in 2012, we in Coquitlam are not allowed to pump our own gas; instead we’re forced to wait for service from hurried gas jockeys. I understand that, at one time, there were payment issues and safety concerns that would have made self-service dangerous and costly. But today, self-service has been proven to be safe in every other community in British Columbia and the issue of ‘drive-offs’ has been addressed through pre-pay laws. As well, a 2001 study on behalf of the City of Richmond proved that in a full-serve environment, drivers are less inclined to get out of their vehicles to shop for a bag of chips or a bottle of pop at the convenience stores that now commonly accompany gas stations.

Riot sentence sends message Welcome First-time offender from Surrey jailed for role in Cup riot By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
A one-month jail term handed to a 20-year-old Surrey man for his role in last year’s Stanley Cup riot is bad news for the dozens of others still awaiting their day in court and hoping to avoid prison. Emmanuel Alviar pleaded guilty this spring to charges of mischief and participating in a riot, saying he was sorry for helping stir up mayhem downtown last June 15 after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Cup to the Boston Bruins. It’s the first sentence for a Cup rioter with no prior criminal record and it’s being interpreted as a sign jail terms will be inescapable for most who follow. Alviar, a drywaller and for mer choir
singer, tur ned himself in to police early in the investigation after videos circulated online showing him pushing against a car that other rioters then destroyed, and later throwing a barricade at a window. P r ov i n c i a l C o u r t Ju d g e Re g H a r r i s took into account his remorse and guilty plea, but said the size, duration and damage done by the riot — as well as the fact it was the second one in Vancouver involving a hockey crowd — required a substantial deterrent. H a r r i s a l s o g ave Alviar 16 months probation, 150 hours of community service and ordered him to write apology letters to Vancouver’s mayor and chief of police. Alviar’s lawyer said the sentence sets a probable floor of jail time for similar first-time offenders and all but rules out conditional sentences, which he had asked for on behalf of his client.
SFU criminologist Rob Gordon agreed. “I think it’s more likely than not,” he said of jail for the rest. “It depends on who they are and what they’ve been doing in the past.” The only other rioter sentenced so far was Coquitlam resident Ryan Dickinson, who got 17 months in jail less three and a half months credit for time served, but he had a past record of assault. Gordon noted some of Alviar’s behaviour worked against him — he was seen at three different places during the riot over a period of hours when he was supposed to have been chaperoning four 14-yearolds. But he said other accused rioters who didn’t come forward early face long odds of avoiding jail. “Those who did not put their hands up, those police had to chase, and those with prior convictions will be facing longer periods,”
he predicted. “I think a lot of people will be satisfied.” Gordon said it sends a clear message to future rioters. T e c h n i c a l l y, h e
added, the one-month sentence is “fairly gentle” in light of the fact a conviction for participating in a riot can result in a prison term of years.
Back Darcy!
More charges to come Crown prosecutors have charged 104 accused rioters so far and police are seeking charges against at least 120 more. The largest number charged so far — 44 — are from Surrey, followed by 38 from Vancouver, 27 from Bur naby, 19 from Richmond, 14 from North Vancouver, 11 from Delta, eight in Langley and seven each in Abbotsford and Maple Ridge. “By the time we are done, we expect that we will exceed 300 persons charged with over 900 criminal charges,” Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu said. “We believe this is the greatest number of people charged with a crime arising from one incident in Canadian history.” Chu called for public help in identifying 10 worst unidentified rioters through photos posted on the riot investigation website at riot2011.vpd.ca.

Beedie Living’s Rob Fiorvento, Ryan Beedie and his father, Keith, joined Austin Heights BIA executive director Erin Davidson and Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart on Thursday for a ceremonial groundbreaking of The Austin.
Digging starts for The Austin Beedie Living rolled out the red carpet — and an excavator — yesterday to signal the start of construction for The Austin, the first highrise to be built as part of Austin Heights’ redevelopment. President Ryan Beedie and his father, Keith, the founder of Beedie Development Group, joined Mayor Richard Stewart as well as Austin Heights BIA reps and buyers for a ceremonial groundbreaking of the 19-storey residential and commercial tower at the corner of Blue Mountain Street and Austin Avenue. Ryan Beedie said The Austin will set the standard for the com-
pany’s future work in Coquitlam; construction on the first phase of its Fraser Mills waterfront project is due to start early next year. “There’s a lot on the line for us and we know that,” Ryan Beedie told the crowd of 50 people. “The next decade belongs to Coquitlam and that’s partly because of the people who are investing in the city now,” Stewart added, noting Beedie’s “calibre” as a Lower Mainland builder. More than 75% of the suites have been sold in the 133-unit tower, which has homes ranging from 417 sq. ft. to 1,431 sq. ft. The Austin is the first major development under the Austin
Heights Neighbourhood Plan, a 20-vision to rejuvenate the “tired” corridor, Stewart said. Last year, council voted to hold off on future highrise applications along Austin Avenue after neighbours complained of the height of The Austin, which was first proposed at 24 storeys tall. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, said yesterday city staff are still considering an appropriate building height for Austin Avenue, under the C5 zone. “It’s on our work plan for later this year,” he said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Shopping list for surplus PoCo manages budget surplus in 2011
ties cannot legally run a deficit, Smith said staff must budget conservatively. Additional funds from investments or an increase in permit application fees can often push the city’s financial plan into the black. The money will be used to pay for several projects that likely would not have been able to move forward this year. They include: • costs associated with webcasting council meetings — $19,000 • contingency funding — $50,000 • additional funding for communication services — $10,000 • infrastructure res e r ve c o n t r i b u t i o n

Several projects will be moving ahead sooner than expected in Port Coquitlam after the city managed an $858,000 budget surplus in 2011. Staff vacancies and lower than expected snow removal costs accounted for most of the excess funds, according to Mindy Smith, the city’s director of corporate services. Because municipali-

After all the new expenses are tallied PoCo will still have a surplus of about $330,000. Smith said that money could be used for several other projects, including upgrades to the council chamber’s audio/visual equipment, the completion of the fire burn building and a study into new policing models for the RCMP.

The city also put money into the Municipal Finance Authority, which has a broader range of investment opportunities. “Those are really secure but there is less risk and less return,” she said. Since the economic downturn in 2008, Port Coquitlam has focused more on short-term investments, with the hopes that a return to market normalcy could help boost city revenues.

Civic candidate d signs banned in PoMo By Sarah Payne
Glumac countered the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money on fuel (for city vehicles) would be worth it. Clay and councillors Diana Dilworth and Gerry Nuttall voted against the motion.
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The next municipal election is going to look a lot different in Port Moody. Council voted to adopt the recommendations of the election task force, which included doing away with the clutter of candidate signs usually seen on public property. Task force member Coun. Rick Glumac said the group not only found the signs unsightly, but were also a disincentive to voting. The task force instead recommended putting up election awareness signs at 11 locations throughout the city; council then added two more to cover the north shore. The signs will direct voters to the city’s website and social media accounts for more information. An election awareness card will be mailed to each household in the city, which will contain candidates’ brochures. Candidates will also be able to post a photo and brief bio on the city’s website. The cost for the re-usable signs is estimated at $2,145 and the election awareness card mail-out was pegged at about $4,100. Candidates would foot the bill for including their brochures in the mail-outs, estimated at about $415 per candidate.

Candidate signs, like these from the 2011 federal election, will be banned from future Port Moody civic elections, council has decided. to get behind a resolution to ban the possession, trade, sale and distribution of shark fins. At Tuesday’s meeting council approved a resolution to be submitted to the 2012 Union of BC Municipalities convention, which is taking place this September in Victoria.
FUEL UP
Owners of electric vehicles may be able to “fill up” at one of four charger stations in Port Moody. Council approved a recommendation to apply for a provincial community charging infrastructure grant for the stations. The grants will cover up to 75% of the cost of equipment and labour, to a maximum of $4,000 per installation. Staff estimated the capital cost of building the stations at $32,000, half of which would be covered if the city receives the maximum g rants, and almost $2,500 in annual operat-
ing costs. Mayor Mike Clay questioned why the government should be footing the bill to build gas stations and pay for the fuel in people’s cars, while Coun. Rick

Cops launch roadside drug tests B.C. drivers tested for alcohol, drugs By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – Roadside surveys are set to begin around B.C. this month to continue a research project that tests for marijuana, cocaine and other drugs as well as alcohol use by drivers. T h e B . C . g ove r n ment is spending up to $250,000 for the seventh survey of its kind in the province, part of a national program run by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. Previous surveys have shown that in random samples, about 10% of drivers test positive for alcohol and 7% to 8% have a detectable level of drugs in their systems. This year’s survey is being done in the same communities as the last one in 2010: Vancouver, Saanich, Abbotsford,
Prince George and Kelowna. The roadside surveys are supervised by police and use handheld breathalyzers, but they are for information only and won’t result in charges or suspensions. Drivers are asked to voluntarily and confidentially answer questions, provide a breath sample and also a saliva sample using a plastic stick with an absorbent pad on the end. Saliva samples are sent for lab analysis to detect marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other opiates, amphetamines and common sedatives. The test doesn’t determine if the driver was impaired by drugs, but only if there is a level detectable by the lab test. Ottawa passed legislation in 2008 to give police authority to demand physical sobriety tests and collect blood, urine or saliva samples for drug testing, but no roadside test or legal

limits currently exist for drug impairment. B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police do have options. “Police can issue a 24-hour prohibition at the roadside if they suspect drug impair-
ment,” Bond said. “They can also take the driver into custody, so trained, certified police officers can conduct a very accurate drug recognition and evaluation exam and ask for blood tests to
support Criminal Code charges.” The surveys found that while alcohol use increases late at night and on weekends, drug use by drivers is more consistently found at all times and days.

Biz owner captures parent-child bond Coquitlam entrepreneur shows love with photos, words By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
On the main wall in her living room, Coquitlam photographer Amy Lee has several pictures of her, her husband and their daughter — all snapped by other people. She likes that someone else has captured her young family “because it’s amazing to see yourself through somebody’s eyes, to know they love you,” she said. Lee does the same with her freelance business called The Connection We Share, which started a few years back after a friend mentioned how she writes down and photographs all of her daughter’s new activities. “A n d , I t h o u g h t , ‘That’s a good idea.’ Because when you’re new to motherhood, you have Mommy Brain. You don’t want to forget those early years. You need help remembering things.” Before Lee begins her one- to two-hour sessions, she asks her clients to pen a letter to their child, which is then read out at the place where the photo
shoot happens — be it at the beach, a park or at home. “It’s some- AMY LEE where that has special meaning to them,” she said. The Centennial secondary graduate also asks several questions of the parent and the child during the session to grasp their “genuine expressions.” Fo r e x a m p l e, fo r younger children, Lee may play a few games to photograph them laughing and having fun; however, she’ll also pose questions to get them thinking like “If you were a Disney princess, who would you be?” or “What flavour of ice cream would you be?” or “If you had a magical power, what would you do with it?” “Their answers are very surprising,” Lee said, “and I think it sometimes takes the mothers back, too.” For teenagers, Lee probes the bond the mother and child share. She asks the mother to point out their son or daughter’s accomplishments, remarking how proud they are of them. Then, Lee asks of the teens, “How will you

feel when you’re at college and away from your family?” or “If there’s one wish you can grant your mom, what would it be?” “I cry through most of the sessions,” admitted Lee, the mother of a 22-month-old daughter who lost her own mother to cancer when she was 16. “I see the love they have and their closeness and how they are so full of potential.” Typically, Lee takes about 300 images during a session, of which she compiles five or six onto a ready-to-hang canvass with a centering quote from the parent’s letter; a 20-page album book with 30 to 40 photos and the full letter; or a can-

Say goodbye to Knee pain Experience the benefits of Low Intensity Laser Light Therapy
Ballroom & Latin
“I received treatment on my right knee. I am a fitness instructor and I instruct several types of classes per week and I jog a couple of times per week as well. I was experiencing sharp pain directly under my knee cap. I came in for 5 treatments and after 3 I noticed a huge improvement. I am now resuming all of my fitness activities and my knee feels great. I have recommended laser light therapy to several people.” ~ Lisa Porcellato
Dance Showcase
“After several weeks of suffering I thought I had nothing to lose by giving laser treatment a try. After only 6 treatments I could walk again (short distances) and following the full course of treatments (14) my knee was back to 90% of where it was before I over-exerted the knee. I am now driving without pain and can walk a couple of miles without problem. I would thoroughly recommend anyone with knee pain consider a course of laser treatment.” ~ Gerry O’Hara

PORT MOODY
Historical Highlights In 1792 when Captain Vancouver was mapping the eastern end of Burrard Inlet (later Moody Arm) he anchored his ship, The Discovery, at Birch Bay and was using a cutter (a very large rowboat with sails) for his explorations. At nightfall some of the crew who were sleeping on the rocky beach were rudely awakened by a very high incoming tide that took over their sleeping accommodations. The beach was the rocky foreshore of the present Ioco refinery site. Sponsored by the

Karissa Lodewyke and Sophie Reinhart, Grade 12 students graduating from Archbishop Carney, are leaving behind a legacy of fundraising for a school in Haiti.

Carney kids have a dream Fundraising for Haiti school earns grant By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
IN QUOTES
“You just feel you did something.” Karissa Lodewyke
Karissa Lodewyke and Sophie Reinhart, a pair of soon-to-be high school graduates, are heading out to the big, wide world but have already made a difference with their fundraising and charity efforts. The two Grade 12 students in Chris Seppelt’s Global Stewardship class at Archbishop Carney regional secondary school inspired their classmates to raise $4,250 to build a school in Haiti and were rewarded with a matching Big Dreamers Award for a total $8,500. “I had to pull the p h o n e aw a y f r o m my ears because of the screaming,” said Reinhart, who was the first to learn of the award two weeks ago and called her friend with the news.
“You just feel you did something,” said Lodewyke about the efforts to help the earthquake-stricken country. But the students say the fundraising wasn’t all their doing. Fellow Carney students jumped on board, helping organize a fair trade bake sale, a jeans day, a school dance and a pep rally for the effort. The students were inspired by a We Day rally in October and decided to channel their social responsibility efforts to Haiti because it seemed the most needy. “We Day [sponsored by Free the Children] got the ball rolling with how and what the money can go toward,” said Lodewyke. And the efforts to make a difference in the
world won’t stop there. The two spent spring break working with disadvantaged children in New York City’s South Bronx and plan to return next spring while Reinhart will be volunteering at an orphanage in Ghana this summer. School plans include International Studies
at SFU for Lodewyke and Capilano College’s Global Stewardship program for Reinhart. They have the world yet to explore but for the two of them, making a difference for others is their mantra. Said Reinhart: “Every little bit you do makes you want to do more.”

Math and Paris a “puzzle” SFU math student returns from paid internship in the City of Light Stephen Melczer has just returned from a three-month paid research internship in Paris where he worked on combinatorial math problems at Inria, a French public science and technology institution. “It was like solving a new puzzle every day,” says the Coquitlam native. “I enjoy attacking a problem with different strategies to see which works out.” Melczer, who is graduating with a B.Sc. with first class honours, loves solving the sorts of problems that occur in combinatorial mathematics, at the theoretical intersection of math and computing science. He’s also good at it. He’ll re-
ceive a Governor General’s silver medal for academic excellence at convocation for achieving a 4.27 cumulative grade-point average, out of a possible 4.33. (Melczer is one of two recipients). Melczer attributes his high grades to study habits that ensured he understood each new topic as it was introduced. He didn’t spend all of his time studying, however. He also spent 2 ½ years working as a part-time teaching assistant in the mathematics department’s calculus and algebra workshops, helping students with coursework. He received three underg raduate research awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada as well, spending three semesters pursuing different mathematical research topics to discover which he preferred.
Melczer also shared his enthusiasm for mathematical problems, delivering presentations on a variety of topics at six Canadian universities and three European institutes. He even found time to visit local high schools to talk about solving Sudoku numberplacement puzzles using algebraic geometry. Later this summer he’ll travel to Montreal, Kelowna and Japan to attend conferences on a selection of subjects he hopes will benefit his future research. And in September he’ll mark the start of his SFU master’s degree in mathematics by returning to Paris to collaborate with his Canadian and French supervisors. • SFU’s convocation ceremonies for spring 2012 took place Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.

Passion for cars spurs local student to graduate That’s when the staff at Burnaby school district’s School to Work program got involved. Each year, the program helps about 120 B u r n a by s t u d e n t s , those too young to tap into adult and continuing education programs, to transition from high school to careers or post-secondary education, said School to Work’s David Le Blanc. In Jaret’s case, it was simply a matter of pointing him towards his passion — cars. For the past year, Jaret has been getting up every day at 4:30 or 5 a.m. to get to VCC in east Vancouver on time. Usually, he’s there by 7:15 a.m. at the latest. His first class doesn’t start until 8 a.m. Proud mom Ilona Collett has seen her son transformed. In addition to earning top marks, every day he brings home photos of the projects he’s worked on and can’t stop talking about what he’s excited to be learning and doing. That never happened in his regular high school years. “It’s amazing to see him in his element,” she said. That passion paid off in April when his VCC instructors chose him to compete at the Skills BC Competition held in Abbotsford. He won the gold medal in the auto body repair category and was momentarily stunned at the result. “I was sort of like, really?” Jaret recalled with a laugh.

Citizens gathered at MP James Moore’s office in Port Moody on June 2 to protest Bill C-38. Greenscene columnist Elaine Golds says more open discussion of the issues being addressed by the bill would result in more balanced legislation, as occurred with species protection legislation in the 1990s.

Federal bill cuts fish protection P
eople who read newspapers should, by now, be familiar with the broad outlines of the Harper government’s Omnibus Bill which is now moving towards passage in Ottawa. This huge 450-page bill, ostensibly written to deal with the federal budget, will unravel environmental protection in Canada as we have known it for many years. Bill C-38 will repeal the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the National Round Table on Environment and Economy Act. It will also severely weaken protection for species at risk as well as for all fish species. While over a third of Bill C-38 weakens
GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds Public not given details or eliminates various aspects of environmental protection, the remainder will result in other fundamental changes in Canada such as cuts to the CBC and changes to the Employment Act. Many of the details of the Omnibus Bill remain uncertain and await details to be revealed in regulations still to be released. However, the direction and intent of this bill are clear. Like some sort of monstrous nightmare, Bill C-38 will change or repeal approximately 70 federal
laws and all without public consultation. This is an unprecedented and appalling way for the federal government to do its business. In contrast, I remember when another federal government in the late 1990s was considering passing legislation to protect species at risk. Such legislation
had already been in place in the U.S. for almost a quarter century so Canada was certainly overdue in introducing such legislation. People who believed the federal government should play a more active role in protecting Canada’s biodiversity were very supportive of such legislation while some property owners and
businesses were worried about potential impacts. The government of the day recognized people should have an opportunity to express their concerns. Draft legislation was released for review, background information about the proposed new legislation was made available see ENVIRONMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL,, page 34

The government of the day recognized people should have an opportunity to express their concerns. Draft legislation was released for review, background information about the proposed new legislation
was made available and a parliamentary committee travelled around the country to listen to the public’s concerns. Finally, after much consideration (and two parliamentary prorogues which required re-introducing the Act twice), a Species at Risk Act became law in 2003. While this legislation was not as powerful as I would have preferred, the final product attempted to strike a balance between diverse interests. To my mind, this was a reasonable way to develop legislation and solicit feedback from citizens. In fact, I would like to think, this is the Canadian way.

resemblance to such a thoughtful or participatory process. People like me who care about the environment have been characterized by Ministers in the Harper government as being radical environmentalists. We have also been told if we don’t support rapid development of the tar sands and export of its crude bitumen to Asia, we are working against the national interests of Canada.
Silly me, I thought protecting the national interests of Canada included ensuring a healthy environment for future generations of Canadians. More than ever, we need effective legislation to protect the environment and ensure corporations pay the full costs when they cause environmental damage such as oil spills. If not, future Canadians will be forced to pay the price either through living in a

more polluted and damaged environment or funding the costs of environmental remediation. Consider what is happening in Howe Sound at the old Britannia mine site where the environmental cleanup to protect human health and restore fish habitat is costing millions. The mine owners who caused the pollution in the first place have taken their profits and are long gone; it is the current
generation of taxpayers who are providing most of the cleanup costs. I also find it abhorrent that, for many months, scientists who receive their paycheques from the federal government have not been allowed to speak freely to the public or the press whether it be on the topic of global warming, coastal fish farms or other timely topics. Whatever happened to free speech? Recently,
the government announced they will shut down the worldrenowned research in the Experimental Lakes Area in Northern Ontario to save $2 million a year — yet their Omnibus Bill will allocate an additional $8 million to Revenue Canada to investigate environmental groups that receive funds from American donors.

e always talk about plant ideas for Mom on Mother’s Day but somehow Dads seem to be relegated to ties, tools and sports equipment. Well, it’s time to rethink the Dad - plant thing. Planting a tree in his honour or memory is not only a wonderful idea, but it’s also, in a small way, good for our planet. Smaller shade and flowering trees can cool him and his patio down on hot days, as well as providing privacy and stunning fall colour. They are also a great place to hang a bird or hummingbird feeder. Today, there are many more compact varieties of trees that are disease and insect tolerant and easy to grow, even in a container. Food trees are fabulous. Apple, plum cherry, pear, peach, apricot and nectarine trees can provide Dad with his own fresh fruit for a lifetime. If he has limited space, but still has some sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., how about giving him some blueberries, everbearing raspberries or pots of strawberries to enjoy all summer long? There are now combination blueberries with early, mid and late varieties all in one

Consider purchasing a special plant for Dad for Father’s Day as a change from the usual tools, socks and ties. Plant a tree in his name or gift him with a rare bonsai tree, as shown above.
IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter container, providing proper pollination and enjoyment over a longer period. It may be a little hard to find this year, but there is a new dwarf thornless everbearing raspberry called ‘Brazelberry’ that will be hugely popular next year. Don’t forget about grapes — planted on a trellis, they make a nice patio screen. From figs, persimmons and currants to gooseberries and thornless blackberries, you can provide Dad with a delicious food garden. If Dad has a culinary flare, try picking up a special herb garden with an assortment of basil, lettuce, rosemary,
thyme, cilantro, Italian parsley and so much more to add unique flavours to his creations. Fruiting cherry tomatoes in pots, ‘Tumbling Tom’ and ‘Tumbler’ would give him a head start on his salads. More and more Dads are keen gardeners who really appreciate new and rare perennials, grasses, roses, and conifers. Easy care indoor bonsai trees and orchids make wonderful gifts that he can enjoy all year. Even a gift certificate for his favourite garden store would be appreciated. If he has a rather ‘sterile’ patio, a water feature like a gurgle stone would add sound, light and motion to this space to liven it up. If you haven’t yet purchased a tie, shirt, drill or golf club, visit a garden store this week and surprise Dad with a green or foodie fun gift.

Blluetrree Ho omes and W Wesgroup Properties announce The Brewery District
exciting ... place to live’ Bluetree Homes and Wesgroup Properties are teaming up to bring the Brewery District to New Westminster. Located in historic Sapperton, directly connected to SkyTrain and beside the Royal Columbian Hospital, the Brewery District will offer something for everyone. “We believe that the Brewery District will be an exciting and vibrant place to live, and that it is an important part of the future of New Westminster,” says Bluetree President Ben Taddei. “We are pleased to become a part of this community and the vision set out by Wesgroup, with the development of its residential buildings.”
The first high-rise tower will have 130 suites, and will start sales this winter. “A strong and reputable builder, Bluetree Homes will bring exceptional value to this exciting next phase at the Brewery District, and we are excited to welcome them to this vibrant community,” says Gino Nonni, president of Wesgroup. Eventually the development will include approximately 750 homes, space for almost 100 new businesses and the new TransLink and Transit Police corporate headquarters, which are currently under construction.

When you actually want to leave your home (you may not after seeing all the amazing things inside it), you’ll find a community backing on spectacular natural green space. “It’s becoming more difficult to find green space,” Steine says. “That’s what we really can provide here.” Portrait has been honoured with 105 major industry awards for Silver Ridge, including the Avid Diamond Award for the Best Customer Experience in Canada this year. They were also awarded a Special Platinum Award this year by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia for winning 27 Georgie Awards in the past 11 years. “The community itself is probably
one of the most awarded communities in B.C,” Steine says. “There’s a lot to be said for that.” Right now buyers are able to take advantage of buying a home before construction begins, so they can choose their colour scheme and have the opportunity to take advantage of the upgrades that Portrait is offering. “It’s been extremely popular so far,” Steine says, adding that several homes have already been sold and people are coming through the sales centre all the time. “Build it and they will come!” he laughs. “That says a lot about the community.” Homes start in the $450,000s.

‘A quiet, natural setting’
Portrait raising g the bar at Hampstead at Silver Ridge by Kerry Vital
Turning into the driveway of Portrait Homes’ Silver Ridge community, you immediately feel a sense of calm. Your shoulders relax, your head clears and you breathe a sigh of relief. Your new home at Hampstead at Silver Ridge awaits, surrounded by trees and green space, blending perfectly into the beauty around it. “It’s a quiet, natural setting,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Troy Steine. “That appeals to a lot of people.” The 105-acre master-planned community of Silver Ridge in Maple Ridge has been in development for years, and Hampstead is the latest phase. Building on the popularity of past phases like Brighton and Stoneleigh, Hampstead features many of the beautiful details that have been so popular before, and adds a few unique touches of its own. “We really raised the bar for Hampstead,” Steine says. “There’s something for everybody.” The three- and four-bedroom singlefamily homes have seriously gorgeous exteriors, with custom stone detailing, natural-stained wood beams, heritagestyle front doors and professionally landscaped front and back yards. Curb appeal will never be a problem at Hampstead! Moving inside, you’ll find inviting foyers featuring custom tile flooring
“
The community itself is probably one of the most awarded communities in B.C.,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Troy Steine. and nine-foot ceilings on the main level. Most plans include dramatic vaulted ceilings, which lend a huge sense of space to your new home. The five different floorplans, ranging from over 2,030 to 3,526 square feet, all have a great room layout, so you’ll easily be able to entertain in high style around the energy-efficient fireplace that features a custom-crafted wood mantel. The kitchen is a gourmet’s dream, with a work island with an eating/ conversation bar, full-height tiled backsplash, shaker-style cabinets and pot lights throughout. Those pot lights are featured throughout the home, so harsh lighting is a thing of the past. The master suite is an oasis of calm, with spacious walk-in closets, soaker tubs in the ensuite, granite bathroom countertops and a hand-set ceramic tile

Cerenzie picks SFU By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Riverside Rapids have sent another high school female basketball standout up stream to Simon Fraser University. After it was announced only last week that sharp-shooting guard Michelle Spacek would be joining the Clan next fall, her Rapids’ teammate Laiken Cerenzie has committed to toiling, too, for the SFU women’s hoop squad, it was revealed Tuesday. A five-foot-eight forward, Cerenzie was an all-star at the HSBC Classic tournament in both 2009 and ’11, a Fraser Valley all-star in ’09 and ’10 and a B.C. AAA provincial secondteam all-star in ’10. “I am a fast, aggressive, competitive player,” said Cerenzie, who averaged 10.7 points in 35 games with the Rapids last season. “I have a must-win personality and I strive to get better every game.” see RAPID FIRE, page 54
A’s thwart Thunder, 7-6 By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
If there was a team set to thwart the high-scoring Langley Thunder, it was the Coquitlam Adanacs. And sure enough, the A’s riddled them Wednesday. Four nights after collaring the dynamic New Westminster Salmonbellies 5-1, Daryl Veltman zipped in three goals and goalie Nick Rose stopped 25 shots as the A’s shaved the defending playoffchampion Thunder 7-6 in Langley to end their five-game Western Lacrosse Association win streak. The win boosted the A’s to 3-4, while the Thunder slid to 5-3. After a 4-4 run-and-gun first period, the A’s defence took over and held the hot-shot Thunder to
a mere two goals in the final two frames. A’s head coach Bob Salt credited not only Rose but his big and improved cast of defenders, including six-foot-four rookie Travis Irving, six-foot-two Brad Richardson and hulking captain Bruce Murray, who’s listed at sixfoot-one and 255 pounds. “That was one of our priorities at the start of the year, to get bigger and stronger, and we definitely are,” Salt told The Tri-City News. It was Irving who took it upon himself to shadow Thunder star Lewis Ratcliff, who was limited to a meagre two assists. “Ratcliff didn’t know what to do,” Salt chuckled. “Travis was always whacking him and got him talking... I don’t know what
was said but every time Ratcliff came down the floor Travis was there waiting for him. It was something to see, all right.” Things appear to be improving on the offensive end of the floor to for the goal-hungry A’s, who got two big goals from another rookie, Ryan Johnson, a six-foottwo Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs’ grad who appears to be a steal after being taken 15th overall in last winter’s WLA draft. Johnson’s second tally 4:36 into the middle stanza proved the winner, vaulting the A’s to a comfortable 7-4 lead before the Thunder scored twice, including a marker by another ex-Jr. Adanac Tor Reinholdt with 10 minutes remaining, to make things tight. see ROOKIE, page 54
Coquitlam’s Ruky Abdulai took her first steps toward this summer’s London Olympics last Wednesday night at the Lafarge High Perfor mance meet scheduled for the Swan Track at Rotary Stadium. Abdulai, a member of the Abbotsford-based Valley Royals and a world-class athlete in the heptathlon, qualified for selection to the London Olympics last summer by scoring 6,212 points in placing 13th at the World Championships in Daegu, Korea. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old native of Ghana who has been a Canadian citizen since 2008 hasn’t done a heptathlon since Korea. The stress of a rigorous training routine resulted in her suffering a foot injury that required surgery. The operation was designed to remedy the pain she was experiencing, but she even after a recovery period Abdulai was still in severe discomfort. Finally, doctors suggested she take six weeks away from training in hopes that with the aid of treatments the scar tissue resulting from the injury would dissolve. The Olympics are less than two months away, beginning July 27, so Abdulai now has precious little time to get back up to speed. She needed to get going, or give up on her Olympic dream, which led her to Abbotsford. She finished second in the 100m hurdles, and coach Brit Tow n s e n d w a s d e lighted. Townsend held her breath through the entire run. With all that Abdulai has been through, any finish would be a step forward. To qualify for London, she must finish in the top three in the heptathlon at the Canadian Championships, set for the end of this month in Calgary. Two other C a n a d i a n a t h l e t e s, Jessica Zelinka and Brianne Thiessen have scored 6,393 and 6,253 points respectively, so Abdulai needs to be well prepared for Calgary. There were almost 200 athletes at the Lafarge meet, from B.C., Alberta and Ontario.

TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Interior lakes are very good Vividly, I remember watching him slide its gleaming split cane sections from their cotton bag, and the smile that kindled his square-built face as he fitted them together‌ Then dad took his old steel telescoping rod from the hall closet and placed it in my hands. “Yours,â€? he said. And so it remained, until I aspired to a flyrod of my own. One night as we churned our way along a graveled Island Highway 15 miles north of Courtenay, our headlights blinked out. Trudging ahead with a flashlight, I guided dad into into a little roadside park where, by the flashlight’s weak beam,
we pitched our tent. The last sound in my ears as I dropped of to sleep was the murmur of running water. I didn’t know it then, but my fortunes had brought me to the river which was to become one of my life’s dearest loves. –– Passage taken from My Father, My Friend, by author Arthur Mayse. In case you haven’t heard, Sunday is Father’s Day. Enjoy.
THE REPORT
Our Lower Mainland lake fishing is fair to good, while fishing on our Interior lakes is very good. The Greg Clark Memorial family fishing derby is on Saturday, June 16. Tickets are available at Chilliwack Dart & Tackle, Kent Outdoors, Fred’s Custom Tackle, Rosedale mini Mart and Cultus Lake Golf Course.
Saints shock Jr. A’s Nash Harrison’s goal with fewer than five m i nu t e s re m a i n i n g gave the PoCo Saints a stunning 3-2 triumph over the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs in a B.C. Junior ‘A’ lacrosse league game Wednesday at Poirier Sports Complex. The win moved the Saints to 6-6 and avenged
a 9-1 thrashing handed to them by the now 9-3 Jr. A’s last Friday. Coquitlam out-shot PoCo 48-29, with Saints goalie Garrett Spann outstanding in a 46-save perfor mance. Mitch Cavalarin and Colby Beveridge also scored for the Saints, who led 2-0 going into the third.
The Rapids under head coach Paul Langford have become a recruiting pipeline for the Clan their head coach Bruce Langford, Paul’s brother, with junior guard Kristina Collins bringing the number of grads from the heralded Riverside prep program now playing at SFU to three. “Laiken is an unorthodox basketball player,� Bruce Langford said. “On first appearance, she has rather refined skill set but it is quite deceiving. Her shot may not look great but she had the second best three-point shooting percentage on a good high school shooting team.� Bruce Langford believes Cerenzie will fit in quickly and nicely on the Clan. “Laiken took over many games in her high school career with her slashes to the hoop and ability to get to the free throw line,� he said. “She is one of the most competitive high school players in B.C.�

Bob lived most of his life in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge but spent his last four years in Campbell River at New Horizon’s to be close to his children. Bob loved his family as well as his music: Johnny Cash and Elvis were among his favorites. He looked forward to his twice weekly casino days and all of the friends and acquaintances he made there.
Bob’s family would like to express a special thank you to his physician, Dr. Baerg and to the wonderful staff at New Horizon’s who were so caring and compassionate with our dad, especially in his last days.

We Love You Dad
Hi Mom/Grandma: Where to begin? The obvious perhaps. You are deeply missed. We are reminded of you every day, both as our mother and grandmother and in the role you played sharing Terry’s story and nurturing his values and vision. We have heard often over the past year that time heals. They remain only words - losing you is still very fresh, very real and very painful. We feel misplaced at times questioning why we go on - we are unsteady and there is discomfort in every step - we try to follow your example of being strong. We know you are happy now reunited with Terry and too many loved ones but selfishly would rather have you here. We have memories, they are crystal clear, happy and powerful but we are not accepting that we will not experience more, ever. We miss your unconditional love, your appreciation and pride for everything we do no matter how trivial it might be to others. You were our Mom and Grandma, mentor, protector and head cheer leader. We are individually and collectively not the same, a little less then before you left us. Sunday is Father’s Day though like the 364 days since you left us our thoughts will also be of you.
