In the trenches, in remembrance Recreating life in First World War trenches in the parking lot of the Port Moody Station Museum are, from left, David Beale, Cary Price, Lucas Wald, and Guy Black. The men spent two nights living in the trench, playing cards, reading and participating in guard duty in advance of a Canada Day celebration honouring Canadian military efforts. The trench was named after Augustus McKnight, a Port Moody engineer who enlisted and was shot in battle, and a plaque was dedicated in his name. The plaque will be placed at the Port Moody Arts Centre, formerly city hall, where McKnight worked.

Metro Vancouver mayors are shifting gears on how to pay for their massive transit investment plan, returning to previously discarded options such as a vehicle levy or a regional sales tax. Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said those options now appear more likely after the province rejected any reallocation of its existing carbon tax revenue. Although mayors had specified a new regional carbon tax as their backup source when they tabled the plan earlier this month, Walton

now calls that “problematic” because it would largely act as an increase in the gas tax, which has recently become an unreliable source of cash for TransLink. “If you raise the price at the pump, the gross revenue declines and that’s self-defeating,” Walton said after a Thursday meeting of the mayors’ council. “Ultimately it looks like we’re moving back towards discussions concerning the vehicle levy and the sales tax,” he said, adding that will require more discussions with the province this summer. According to plan documents, a regional sales tax of 0.25% to 0.5% would generate $125 million to $250 million a year. see VEHICLE LEVY, page 7

MOSSOM CREEK HATCHERY PROJECT

The Tri-City News is partnering with Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society on the rebuilding project for Mossom Creek Hatchery. Below is the latest in a year-long series of articles and advertisements...

Survivors swim away, to return Smolts head to sea as rebuilding work continues By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

pproximately 3,000 coho smolts got special limousine service from Mossom Creek hatchery to Port Moody inlet this past month. Babied in a broth of salt and creek water, and ferried from the Ioco Boat Club to sea pens further out in the harbour, the silvery fish were gently deposited into pens where they will fatten up before embarking on their journey out to sea. With a keen homing instinct and some luck, they will return, closing a circle that began 18 months earlier when Mossom Creek Hatchery volunteers and members of the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society (BIMES) plucked them as blood-red eggs from brood stock and put them in trays for safe keeping and maturation. At the wheel of the Medusa 2 for the smolts’ trip was George Assaf, who carefully steered a skiff from dock to dock surrounded by a crew of teenagers, senior citizens, BIMES members, a few moms and dads, and a dog. This annual trek is just one of the duties of BIMES volunteers and, Ruth Foster said, one of the most important in the nearly 40-year effort to rebuild salmon stocks in Mossom Creek. These coho are the healthy remains of a fire that burned down the hatchery in December and destroyed thousands of coho, chum and pink salmon eggs. Those smolts now represent the hopes and dreams of a rebuilt hatchery. “This is the most delicate stage,” Foster said of the slim silver adolescents that have been raised from the egg stage by volunteers and students in Centennial secondary school’s Salmon Project Club. The fish are transitioning to a more mature stage after the months of care and, at the time of the visit to the inlet, were ready to move from a fresh water environment to the salty sea. Like

Volunteers working with the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society prepare to deposit 3,000 coho smolts from Mossom Creek hatchery into a net-protected sea pen, where they were fattened up before being released out to sea. At right, George Assaf places some of the fish into the water while Tracy Green, below, moves them from a tank into a tub for transport. anxious parents letting their teens out for the first time, the volunteers hovered around the fish and the tanks, and took turns offering to feed them over the next several days until the smolts were ready to be released. It’s a job the volunteers relish — assisting with the cycle of life — and the work has paid off. In 2013, for example, 130 coho returned to Mossom out of 6,000 smolts that were released. “For me personally, I enjoy helping to stabilize the salmon population,” said Geric Coutts, a Grade 12 student from Port Moody’s Heritage Woods secondary school. “The hatchery is very important to the community,” said Warren Dupasquier, also a graduating Heritage Woods student, who has worked at the hatchery since 2013. Now that the facility is in the rebuilding phase — and significant funds are needed to finish off the work — volunteers, donations and support are needed more than ever, said Foster, who is helping to organize a fundraiser slated for Sunday, July 13 (see sidebar). “This is a critical time for the salmon but it’s also a critical time for us,” Foster said. In addition to its hatchery work, BIMES advocates for the health of the entire inlet and conducts research, and its members are involved

in partnerships with other organizations to monitor marine wildlife such as sea lions, herring spawn, seals and other creatures of the ocean. It also has intervenor status at National Energy Board hearings for the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. Here, on the calm wa-

ters of Port Moody inlet under a cloudless sky, however, much of that work is invisible. There are just clear waters, a healthy collection of coho smolts swimming in their sea pens, and a group of hard-working volunteers — and a dog enjoying a day in the sun. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Big push on for cash to rebuild hatchery; fundraiser July 13 With $150,000 needed to put shovels in the ground this summer, volunteers with Mossom Creek Hatchery are hosting a gala fundraising event on July 13 featuring a gourmet salmon barbecue and auction. The importance of raising money to get the hatchery built in time for the salmon spawning season in October was brought home to organizer Ruth Foster last month when the last of the coho smolts were released into Port Moody Inlet. “We are hit with the huge reality that we need to get this building started and hatchery operations installed before the fall salmon return,” Foster said,“We are very hopeful this fundraiser and some other granting and donor opportunities will get us to our goal by mid summer.” Given the lineup of donated items and the fabulous food — salmon donated by Canadian Fish Company, a variety of local salads and grilled vegetables prepared by Fred Soofi of Pasta Polo, and PoMo firefighters handling the grill — the July 13 rebuild gala is sure to be the summer’s hottest ticket. Here are just some of the prizes that will be available for the highest bidder: a once-ina-lifetime fishing trip adventure to Langara Fishing Lodge for two, valued at $10,000; a unique art deco wine cabinet designed and handmade by Rick Carswell and Alison Kirkley of Kirkley Carswell Art Furniture, and filled with $400 worth of wine; native art prints and photographs; a tour of the Sea Lion Research Station; and a Seattle Mariners jacket and two game tickets. The July 13 auction and dinner take place from 6 to 9:30 p.m. in the Galleria at Port Moody city hall. Tickets cost $45 and are available by calling 604-787-9758 or going to www. mossomcreek.org dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

PROVINCIAL SPONSORS

One of the Tri-Cities’ biggest annual events, the Golden Spike Days Festival, had Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park abuzz with activity over the weekend, with entertainment and happenings attracting thousands all day and into the evening on Saturday and Sunday as well as Monday evening and Canada Day. Among the traditional fun were performances by the Golden Spike can can dancers (above) and a rail spike-driving competition, and there were some nontraditional attractions such as demonstrations of acrobatic cycling, too.

mercial vehicles are charged $9. The regulations are straightforward but sometimes, a customer service representative is required to make a judgement call, said Greg Johnson, a spokesperson or TReO. “It appears in this case that a customer service representative may have erred,” he said. “It is possible that when they are taking a look at the images that they are making a decision to charge them as a small vehicle.” He could not say why a vehicle registered with TReO and sporting a decal would need to be inspected visually but noted that TReO takes three-dimensional images of all trucks and automobiles that cross the bridge. And drivers who have issues with their bill are encouraged to contact TReO representatives, he said. “Errors can occur,” Johnson said. “When we have millions of crossings, sometimes those are going to occur.”

Coquitlam council will write a letter of support to fund the last mat program for homeless people to take place in the Tri-Cities. On June 23, councilin-committee voted to contact Metro Vancouver and the federal government in an attempt to expedite payment of the money needed for the Tri-Cities’ cold/wet weather mat program, set to be hosted at five Tri-City churches between November 2014 and March 2015. It is expected the temporary mat program will end after that as a permanent shelter opens later in 2015 at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam, under the management of RainCity Housing. Rob Thiessen of the Hope For Freedom Society, which runs the mat service in the TriCities, told the committee his group “has been on pins and needles” waiting for word if funding for this year’s mat program will be approved. Last Thursday, he said, Port Coquitlam council

According to a Coquitlam staff report, 133 people took part in the last mat program and volunteers helped to get 38 into drug and alcohol recovery programs; 15 participants also found more stable housing.

When Elizabeth Setterstrom drove her silver 2006 Chevy pickup and camper east across the Port Mann Bridge on April 4, she was charged a toll of $3. When she made the return trip two days later — same vehicle, same bridge — she was charged $6. And that weekend is just one of dozens of examples of inconsistent charges to the Port Coquitlam resident that date back more than a year. Setterstrom has paid TReO, the company that administers Port Mann tolls, as little as $3 and as high as $9 for different crossings with the same vehicle and camper. “They are charging different amounts all of the time,” she said, showing The Tri-City News the bills“If they are doing this to me, how many hundreds of people are they doing this to?” How did this happen?

School District 43 support staff were back on the job on Monday as picket lines were down at Tri-City school facilities. But what will happen the rest of the summer was up in the air as The Tri-City News went to press early to accommodate the Canada Day holiday. SD43 support staff who are members of CUPE Local 561, including custodians and clerical workers, were allowed in schools Monday to start the end-of-the-year cleaning and other routines, according to superintendent Tom Grant. Meanwhile, parents and school districts awaited word on whether a June 30 deadline for a government contract proposal to the BC Teachers Federation, including a $1,200 signing bonus, would be met and the dispute resolved. Grant confirmed that School District 43 would decided tomorrow (Thursday) whether to proceed with summer school for more than 5,000 students who signed up. Although a Labour Relations’ Board decision last week ruled summer school was essential for students in Grades 10 to 12 who failed courses and couldn’t retake them, very few students in SD43 were affected and Grant said he expected students requiring remedial help could get their educational needs met in the fall.

Vehicle levy would raise $100M Operator error caused truss trouble Operator error is being blamed for a large gantry crane slipping June 17 during placement of a concrete guideway for the Evergreen Line on North Road near Foster Avenue in Coquitlam. The incident shut down North Road during the afternoon rush hour while crews worked to re-position the beam and halted construction for 10 days pending an investigation. Last Friday, B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and infrastructure said work would resume in the area after officials determined that operator

“Waiting for 20 years is simply not going to assist the region in any way, shape or form,” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said, adding the province should lobby for the use of federal contributions other than the Build Canada fund. “That’s the plan. That’s what we need,” she said. “It has to be done within the 10-year time frame.” She and Po r t Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore both said Stone must step up and enter active talks with the mayors to spell out what the province will accept. “This back-and-forth

error caused the equipment failure. Amanda Farrell, the Evergreen Line project director, said the truss has been reinforced and new procedures have been put in place to prevent a similar incident from occurring. “Essentially, there are two operators that control the [truss] movement,”she told The Tri-City News. “I guess what happened was that one of them got out of sync with the other. That created tension… and it put too much stress on this particular connection and the connection failed.” She added that de-

has got to stop,” Watts said. “If the province thinks it can’t afford it or projects aren’t required, they should come and work with us and tell us which ones they want to reduce,” Moore added. “To continually learn all of these new parameters through a press conference is not a good way for us to develop a partnership on how to deliver this.” More co-ordinated planning between TransLink and the province is critical, he said, because it would be unwise to build a new bridge without knowing how it

spite the slip, the truss was supported at all times and that nobody was hurt in the incident. Farrell said neither the manufacturer nor the Evergreen Line contractor has had problems with the truss before. It is not the first time issues with the SkyTrain’s guideway have caused a road closure. In March, a section of Como Lake Avenue was closed in both directions after a massive concrete beam shifted above Clarke Road. Farrell said the recent crane issue was not related to the March incident.

An annual vehicle levy of $72, charged on top of insurance, would generate about $100 million. Options include a flat fee or one that varies based on a vehicle’s emissions or how far it’s driven in a year. The plan needs new funding of $110 million per year initially, rising to $390 million several years in, although that assumes big capital contributions fromVictoria and Ottawa. Mayors have not yet set a firm date for the referendum the province requires on any new TransLink taxes (Transportation Minister Todd Stone directed them to pick one by July 15). But Walton said late March or early April of next year looks likely, provided a date can be found when students and families aren’t away on spring break. That leaves very little time to hammer out the funding decisions and develop a public engagement strategy, Walton said, particularly with local mayors campaigning this fall for re-election. “There’s a massive amount of work to do,” Walton said. “The timing of this could not be worse for us to do the job well. It’s such a pity because this referendum, if it does go ahead, is probably the most critical vote in the region for a decade.” Several mayors expressed frustration that Stone has indicated the $7.5-billion plan is too costly and needs to be pared down or stretched over 20 years instead of 10.

“How will it affect affordability for families if your road system is clogged, and it takes you longer to get to work and you can’t get goods to market?” he asked. “The cost to the economy, the cost to families will be much greater if you don’t do anything.”

A great nation to call home

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

uly 1 is Canada’s 147th birthday and for most of the past 147 years, it has been respectful of other countries and of its wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions. There are some significant exceptions, however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants arrived. For the first 100 years of our independence, there were ongoing efforts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them. It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very different First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation. The other blot on our history comes in the treatment of Asians, particularly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and financial settlements, that aspect of our history is a shameful one, as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out prospective immigrants from China and India. What Canada does do well, however, is to learn from our mistakes. This country has always been a grouping of different people. In 1867, it was the aboriginal people and those newcomers of French and British backgrounds. Since then, people came to help populate our wide-open spaces from all over the world. At first, most came from Europe and the United States. There were also early settlers of Chinese and Japanese backgrounds. In the past 50 years, the doors have been opened wider for people from all over. Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cultures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and well-positioned — and one of the best places in the world to live. Happy Birthday, Canada. – The Langley Times (Black Press)

Life after historic Tsilhqot’in court decision BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision last week on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered. Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties? The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 sq. km of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago. It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provin-

cial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal. She also upheld the decision of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title. Here’s McLachlin’s definition: “The nature of aboriginal title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.” That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple

sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities. Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court — or to the barricades, as the Tsilhqot’in were on a logging road in 1983? One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision. One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead? None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared ab-

original title. Few, if any, would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily and never challenged by any other aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent: They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

Column was ‘disheartening’ The Editor, Re. “A brief history of public school teacher demands” (BC Views, Opinion, The Tri-City News, June 25). Most teachers become teachers because they love working with students and find the job intrinsically rewarding on many levels. I put extra time and effort in because I want to. I find columnist Tom Fletcher’s comments on teachers to be unbalanced and disheartening. His recent column ignored the fact that teachers (unlike the other public sector employees to whom they are constantly compared) have not had a raise since 2010. Mr. Fletcher focused on trying to prove that teachers must be overpaid or underworked, or both. He claimed that an average teacher makes $42.32 an hour. This is ridiculous. The truth is, we work during a 43-week span that includes three weeks paid vacation plus whatever statutory holidays fall within those weeks. We are not paid for our nine-week summer vacation. During those 10 months of work, based on a nine-hour day, beginning teachers would make about $24 per hour and the “average” teacher, who has several decades of experience, would earn $38 per hour. But that nine-hour day is fiction for most of us. When you include all the marking, meetings, report-writing, preparation and volunteer activities, the true

hourly rate is far less. Mr. Fletcher’s suggestion that university graduates are lured to the profession, in part, by a great salary is somewhat dubious. The truth is, our unpaid summer vacations are great for family life, yet the teaching profession still attracts very few people who expect to be the main breadwinners in their families. Now, for some contrast: Other public sector workers, such as firefighters and police, consistently receive better-than-average raises with no apparent public scrutiny or outcry and no strings of zeros or demands to hold the line to a one-size-fits-all formula. I have a colleague who has taught for almost 30 years and her thirdyear firefighter nephew makes more money than she does, with excellent time-off and benefits. Firefighters, and other “essential services” are not forced to negotiate in public and get attacked relentlessly on every front as their contracts are always arbitrated in private, and it has worked to their advantage. Mr. Fletcher and the government would have us believe the rules are the same for everyone. Clearly, this is not the case. I hope his next column will take a fair look at the history of arbitrated settlements won by “essential service” employees who manage to fly under the public radar. Janet Wiltshire, Port Coquitlam

‘Support public ed.’ The Editor, Once again, public school teachers are donating their time, passion and money for kids. Some of you complain that teachers are lazy and greedy. Far from it. We are working hard to direct the public’s attention toward an important part of our future — the need for a great public education system that empowers every student to be a competent, contributing citizen. But teachers can’t do it on their own. We need each and every one of you to support every student. Students need class sizes small enough to get individual attention from their teachers as well as access to specially trained teachers to address their needs. Your contribution is simple. Support public education at every opportunity, with your voice, your pen, with your political will. We can make sure that every child gets the top-class education they deserve.

Teens’ turn in The City of the Arts By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

ri-City teens are proud of their creative skills and, this weekend, they’ll be showcasing their talents before a live audience. On Friday and Saturday nights, 23 youth will sing, dance, roll film and exhibit their visual work at Port Moody city hall as part of the third annual Youth ArtsFest. Last week, The TriCity News surveyed four of the performers to talk about their upcoming acts at the event, which is presented by the Port Moody Arts Centre Society with support from the city.

BLUESMOKE

Bluesmoke musicians have been in every Youth ArtsFest since it started in Port Moody. And, like their previous gigs, they’ll be entertaining the crowd on Saturday with a 20-minute set of original R&Binspired songs. “Being part of the festival gives us a chance to achieve more exposure while honing our craft in a live setting,”Theo Story said. Made up of Heritage Woods secondary students, Story and his b ro t h e r I s a a c, I a n Weverink, Adam Kyle and Jacob Schwartz expect to continue with their music after grad.

KRISTEN KWONG

Kristen Kwong, 16, was in the YouthArts festival last year with a band to sing a few original tunes. This year, however, the Grade 12 Centennial secondary student is going at it alone. “I applied because I love to share my enthusiasm for musical theatre with others and entertain them with what I can do,” she said. For her act on Friday, Kwong will sing two songs from her favourite shows: On My Own

Kwong has big plans this summer to further her career: Next month, she’ll be in the threeweek musical theatre intensive with The Arts Club Theatre Company on Granville lsland and, come September, she’ll be a finalist in the BC Youth Talent Search.

JESSICA LANDO

partner with fellow Grade 11 students from Archbishop Carney regional secondary in Port Coquitlam to perform Some Things Never Change on Friday and Saturday. It’s their first appearance at the Port Moody Youth ArtsFest — and they’re excited to act out their one-act play, which they wrote in drama class. “Being a part of this festival means we will be able to showcase our talents to entertain other people while doing what we enjoy,” Lando said, adding, “We think the

audience will gain a new appreciation for friendships as this is something our play explores. “We also hope that the audience gains a few laughs,”Lando said.

THE LINE UP

JIAMING LI

Jiaming Li will be in the Youth ArtsFest for the second time to display her artwork. “It’s a great honour to be a part of this festival because I feel like the YAF is a great place for not only the people participating but also any budding artists in the community to get inspiration and further their

own art,” she said. “I love seeing the diverse kinds of talent that are within such close vicinity.” This summer, the 16-year-old will be preparing her portfolio for post-secondary work and hopes to gain ideas at the festival for her catalogue.

TIM MATHESON

Matt Palmer, who grew up in the Tri-Cities, will undergo up to three hours of makeup and prostetic work every other night this summer to play the lead character in Shrek: The Musical for Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) at Stanley Park.

Palmer plays Shrek for TUTS By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

For three or four times a week this summer, Maillardville native Matt Palmer will be fitted with prosthetics and spray-painted green to transform into Shrek. But the two-hour process to become the cartoon character — plus an extra hour to take it off postshow — gives Palmer just another reason to love live theatre. “I’ve worn wigs and mustaches and shaded my skin darker but I’ve never worn prosthetics,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s just part of the fun of being an actor.” Palmer will don the giant foam head piece and ogre clothing to star in the production at Theatre Under The Stars, which has Shrek: The Musical and Legally Blonde running on alternating evenings starting next Friday at the Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park. Shrek is “silly, light-hearted and fun,” Palmer said, and it sticks closely to the first movie script. “It does make a couple of neat changes for the musical version.” Joining Palmer on stage will be Lyndsey Britten, who returns to TUTS after 11 years to portray Peter Pan, one of the Three Blind Mice as well as some ensemble

parts. Britten is best known locally for her work at Gleneagle secondary (where she graduated last year) as choreographer of Footloose, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Seussical and The Wizard of Oz; she was also the Coquitlam high school’s stage manager and a fundraising organizer. Trained at the Caulfield School of Dance, Britten said she’ll be studying to be an events planner at the Art Institute of Vancouver during the day while performing at TUTS every other night. “I think I’ll be resting a lot and taking care of my body,” she said when asked about how she’ll be balancing both work loads. As for Legally Blonde, director and choreographer Valerie Easton of Port Coquitlam said she’s thrilled TUTS decided to remount

the production with last year’s understudy of Elle Woods, Jocelyn Gauthier, taking on the perky sorority gal role. “When you hear about Legally Blonde you think it’s going to be dumb but, actually, it’s a very clever script and very funny,” Easton said. Easton also commented on the trend for Lower Mainland shows this year that cater to younger crowds. This spring, the Royal City Musical Theatre — of which she is the artistic director — put on Annie: The Musical, starring Port Moody’s Julia MacLean. “If you don’t start cultivating your audience while they’re young, those people aren’t going to be there in the future,” Easton said, adding, “When you go for the first time [to the theatre] you don’t realize there’s a connection to the person on the stage and how that makes you feel in comparison to watching something on a screen. There’s really quite a difference.” “All of us in the theatre are passionate and need to pass on that on to our up-and-coming audience so we don’t lose them,”Easton said. • Theatre Under The Stars runs July 11 to Aug. 23 at 8 p.m. at the Malkin Bowl.

JULY 6: COCO JAFRO

MP Moore doles out arts cash Tri-City MP James Moore officially announced federal funding last week for a number of local programs including for the arts and culture. The Conservative MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam said the $623,024 will help with Golden Spike Days ($32,800), the Evergreen Cultural Centre ($14,000) and la Société francophone de Maillardville ($59,000) for two years of Festival du Bois — one of the largest francophone events in the province. As well, the cities of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam,

the Port Moody Heritage Society and the Royal Canadian Legion in Coquitlam will share $30,800 to host Canada Day and historical events. The Port Moody Heritage cash is to support the McKnight trench simulation, an exercise that has been the focus of stories in The Tri-City News recently, while the Coquitlam cash will go for Town Centre Park renovations to improve accessibility. In addition, 45 groups will get a combined $363,088 in Canada Summer Jobs aid to hire 98 students. Among the organizations that will benefit will be the

city of Coquitlam, the Tri-Cities’ Chamber of Commerce and the Terry Fox Foundation. “Our government is proud to partner with local organizations that connect our community through arts performances, celebrations of festivals and improvements to community centres,” Moore said in a news release last Thursday. “The Tri-Cities has a strong tradition of bringing together residents both young and old through vibrant local festivals and strong neighbourhood arts organizations.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Jr. A’s get ready for tough test against New West By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy NeWs

First place will be on the line when the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs play their final game of the regular season tonight against the New Westminster Salmonbellies. New West currently sits in the top spot in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League standings with a 18-1-0 record, while the A’s are right behind them with a 17-2-1 record. Wednesday’s bout may be the final game of the regular season for the A’s, but it is not for the Bellies. Coquitlam will need to get some help from the third-place Victoria Shamrocks, who also need to defeat the Bellies this weekend if the Adanacs want to finish in first place. The A’s managed to sweep the Rocks during a weekend home-andhome. RobeRt McDonalD photo

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs swept the Victoria Shamrocks during last weekend’s home-and-home. The club defeated the Rocks 15-6 on Friday at home before winning 14-4 Saturday on the road.

Team shoots for gold at Special Olympics By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy NeWs

Veteran coach Greg Bodin thought his skill set was exhausted when his children graduated to a higher sporting level. Then, in 2007, he signed up to volunteer at a Special Olympics fitness class and found a rewarding way to channel his coaching ability. It’s tough for the 49-year-old Coquitlam resident to consolidate his feelings towards the Special Olympics program. “They are called spe-

team. “The athletes care about competition but most importantly, they do not care about losing.” Team Coquitlam’s national Special Olympics squad is comprised of nine players hailing from Coquitlam, the North Shore, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford, ranging in age from 17 to 56. For the past couple weeks the athletes have been practising hard, shooting hoops in a gym at the Justice Institute of B.C. in New Westminster. They have waited a year — and most likely their whole lives — for

what lies ahead next week at the National Special Olympics when basketball makes its inaugural appearance. As Bodin explained the sport, which is relatively new to the Special Olympics program, has only been offered regionally for five years. The first provincial basketball championship was held last summer, during which Bodin’s team claimed a C division gold medal. “It was a fun, energetic game,”he recalled.

The Coquitlam Reds lost two games during a doubleheader against the Nanaimo Pirates on Saturday before extending their losing streak to eight games with two more losses on Sunday at the hands of the Parksville Royals.

Reds struggle in final weeks of PBL season By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Reds suffered a major setback in its effort to climb the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings when the club lost four games in a row last weekend. The Reds now sit in the league basement behind the Nanaimo Pirates with a 12-28 record and extended their losing streak to eight games on Sunday. Nanaimo was in town on Saturday, for a doubleheader. The Reds kept it close

for most of the first game, tying it 1-1 going into the sixth, where the home team was torched for nine runs to eventually lose 10-1. The second game of the day was tighter, with Coquitlam holding a lead for most of the early innings. However, the Pirates took a 4-3 lead in the fourth inning, adding singles in the fifth and sixth to squeak out a 6-5 win. The Reds woes continued on Sunday at home, when the Parksville Royals swept a doubleheader.

Coquitlam kept things close for most of the first game, but in the end it was the visitors who emerged with a 3-1 win. The second game again saw the Reds hang on until the later innings, where the Royals’ bats came alive, allowing the visitors to win 7-2. Coquitlam will take a break until next Sunday, when they travel to Vancouver Island to take on the Victoria Eagles. Meanwhile, the Coquitlam Redlegs also suffered defeats during their weekend games. T h e B . C . Ju n i o r

Premier Baseball League squad endured two close losses to the Victoria Jr. Mariners at Henderson Park on Vancouver Island. The Redlegs jumped 14-073.10_Generic_4.3125x7-P1.indd out to an early 3-0 lead in the first game but Victoria tied things up in the fifth. In the bottom of the seventh the home team avoided extra innings to score a run and finish with a 4-3 victory. In the second game, Coquitlam had a lead again, but blew it in the final inning where they allowed four runs and gave Victoria a 6-5 win.

A’s get ready for the playoffs continued from page 15

Fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex watched Friday as their team piled up goals against the visiting island team, taking a 6-1 lead in the opening period. Coquitlam’s Johnathan Kraakman lit up the scoreboard 15 seconds into the game with his twelfth of the season, while Tyler Pace scored a hat trick and Brett Kujala, Jean Luc Chetner and Eli McLaughlin each had two goals apiece. Evan Wortley scored one goal and four assists in the lopsided 14-4 victory. The Adanacs offensive prowess was on display 24-hours later, when the club took onVictoria at the Q Centre Saturday night. Coquitlam’s Michael Messenger opened the

rounded out the scoring in the first period, which saw the Adanacs take a 5-3 lead. Kujala scored four goals and two assists while both Worley and McIntyre each had five point games. Adanacs net minder Riley Camazzola stopped 37 of 43 shots in the 15-6 victory. Meanwhile, the Port Coquitlam Saints continued its slide, losing both of the team’s weekend games. Coming off of last Wednesday’s 19-6 loss to the Adanacs, the Saints struggled to score on Friday, losing 8-4 to the Burnaby Jr. Lakers. The team was better offensively Saturday when they took on Delta at the Sungod Arena, but struggled in their own end. PoCo lost to the home team 15-11.
