2 Bailey bridges in the works By Grant Granger BLACK PRESS
The cities of Coquitlam and New Westminster have agreed on the Braid Street Bailey bridge. Yesterday (Thursday), the two cities announced an agreement to replace the existing one-lane structure with two single-lane Bailey bridges, with one of them having pedestrian and bicycle pathways. The existing bridge has been declared unsafe and has been closed since March. New Westminster wanted to replace it with another single-lane bridge while Coquitlam wanted two. New West balked because council said two lanes would add to congestion at the busy Braid and Brunette Avenue intersection. Still, Coquitlam contended two lanes were needed for the proper movement of goods and for emergency reasons. GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kwikwetlem chief says band is behind him Band is in great financial shape, says Giesbrecht By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The chief of the Kwikwetlem First Nation says he won’t resign — and he claims he has the backing of most of his
Coquitlam band members to stay in his elected position. Thursday, Chief Ron Giesbrecht addressed his 82 members in a notice on the band website, saying he has spoken or tried to talk with all of them since his lucrative pay last year was disclosed last week. According to the papers released under
the new First Nations Financial Transparency Act, in the last fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Giesbrecht earned $914,219 in remuneration as chief and economic development officer plus another $16,574 in expenses. About $800,000 of his economic development officer wage was tied to a Burke Mountain land
deal with the provincial government — worth $8.2 million — of which Giesbrecht received a 10% “economic development benefit.” The 10% bonus structure was terminated on April 1, 2014. The Tri-City News has attempted to reach Giesbrecht repeatedly over the past week but he has not responded to
requests for comment. In his latest written statement, Giesbrecht said some Kwikwetlem members wanted to show their support for him and their video testimony has been uploaded to a YouTube channel (go to youtube.com and search “Kwikwetlem channel”). see ‘ONE OF’, page 13

“I did not expect our nation to be as successful as it was and it means that Kwikwetlem First Nation is in a better position than it has ever been before.”

A Coquitlam craftsman who has been turning wood for 30 years began creating wooden baseball bats in 2008. Now, Bruce Campbell makes 500 a year...

Crafting wood bats, one at a time By Gary McKenna
I
The Tri-CiTy News
n an era of mass production, Bruce Campbell’s workshop is a throwback to another time: a man, his tools, a single purpose. Ankle-deep in sawdust and wood shavings, the Coquitlam craftsman spends much of his spare time in his garage turning bulky pieces of lumber into finely tuned items, from bowls and furniture to boxes and sculptures. These days, his most popular creation is more practical than decorative: the wooden baseball bat. Campbell makes close to 500 sticks a year and said most of his customers are looking for a certain intangible quality that comes with using handmade products that cannot be replicated by machine alone. “Something that is made by hand feels different than something that is made by machine,” he said.“Some people call it a warmth. Some people call it an energy. Some people think of it as the feel of the maker being transferred into the material as they work. “Those are people’s way of trying to explain why something that is made by hand is simply more enjoyable to work with.” Not that it’s an excruciatingly slow process. Campbell takes an average of 20 minutes to turn a block of wood into a bat, although he can make up to four an hour when dealing with larger production runs. He has supplied everyone from young athletes starting out to older players with an eye on the major leagues. Currently, he is working through an order of 50 clubs for a person who wants to give them away as gifts for his business clients. There are even a few Major League Baseball players who use Campbell’s bats, although he would not divulge their names and noted that pro athletes can only use his products during practice. “For us small boutique bat makers — and there’s a few around the country — the baseball leagues have a bit of a problem with us and it all comes down to liability,” he said. “For me to make bats so they can be used in an official game, I need to carry $30 million in liability insurance. I’m here to tell you that I can’t do that.” Campbell got into wood turning 30 years

After about a decade of fiddling with the machine on his own, he signed up for a workshop with Richard Raffan, a well-known wood turner who helped popularize the craft in the 1970s. “He basically turned me into a wood turner,” Campbell said.“Before that, I was a wood butcherer.” With the tools and a developing talent, he began turning professionally, spending the majority of his time making and fixing furniture along with bowls and other products. But in 2008, Campbell was approached by a man who worked in the

Bounty of sports gear to sell, help Proceeds of sale will help kids with sports reg. By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
The Tri-City’s biggest sale of second-hand sporting goods will shape up next week in Coquitlam. And organizers are asking shoppers to get their wallets ready for bargainbasement prices to suit up their kids — or themselves — for next season. Chris Wilson, executive director of KidSport Tri-Cities, told The TriCity News his non-profit group is overflowing with donated used goods. Recently, Inside Edge gave the organization all of its player gear from an April hockey tournament, including 18 full

KidSport Tri-Cities volunteers Ross Malamas and Cole Hennig are preparing for the nonprofit’s next used sporting goods sale on Aug. 16 at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. hockey bags, and Dove also handed over dozens of new soccer cleats for youth that were part of a soap campaign.
“We have so much good stuff,” said Wilson, who is also a Coquitlam city councillor. “What we really want is for people
to come out and buy. You can outfit your child with complete gear for under $100, tax-free.” Last summer’s sale
at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex in Coquitlam brought in more than 1,300 shoppers and generated some $20,000 for the cause — a record amount for the organization. Combined with its spring event, KidSport Tri-Cities was able to provide $130,000 in sporting grants to 635 local kids and teens from low-income families last year. Wilson said the group is hoping to raise around $25,000 at its Saturday, Aug. 16 sale, which will also be held at the Poirier facility (633 Poirier St.). As well, for the first time, KidSport will host an extra hockey equipment sale on Saturday, Sept. 6 — after tryouts have started — at X-treme Threads Warehouse (1371A Kebet Way, Port Coquitlam).

Anyone wanting to donate to either sale is asked to drop off their gently used sporting goods — including bicycles, lacrosse gear and sticks, even wetsuits — before Friday, Aug. 15 at: • Port Coquitlam recreation complex (2150 Wilson Ave.); • Port Moody recreation complex (300 Ioco Rd.); • Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St., Coquitlam); • or Thriftopolis (D-2579 Lougheed Hwy,, PoCo).

2 bridges continued from front
The matter went to a provincial adjudicator, whose decision was binding and, last month, he ruled in Coquitlam’s favour. A single-lane bridge New West acquired from Ontario before the ruling will be used for one of the crossings while the second one will be provided by the provincial government. A press release said the cost of the replacement is estimated at $1.2 million and will be shared by both cities. That includes paying for the provincial bridge within three years. The release said installation of the two bridges will begin immediately and is expected to be completed by mid-September. ggranger@ newwestnewsleader.com

Too many kitties at Coquitlam shelter The Coquitlam Animal Shelter tends to see a spike in business during the hot summer months, with more stray cats being brought in than at other times of year. And this year is no exception.
The city pound currently has dozens of furry felines available and it has set a goal to adopt out an average of a cat a day in August. Currently, shelter staff have under their care 45 cats plus a litter of kit-
tens in foster care that are not yet ready for adoption. “There is usually a cat to suit any loving, cat-friendly home,” said Andrea McDonald, Coquitlam’s manager of bylaw and animal con-
Mourning messages for PoCo’s Khangura By Monisha Martins Black Press
A plush penguin, bouquets of flowers and heartbreaking messages of mourning adorn the railing of a bridge across the Alouette River, not far from where a Port Coquitlam father drowned Monday in Pitt Meadows. B.C. Coroner’s Service identified the 44-year-old victim as Jagit Khangura. Khangura was swimming with his family near Silver Bridge on Harris Road Aug. 4 when he suddenly disappeared under water around 5:50 p.m. Now, taped to the bridge are messages from his daughters, son and nephew, penned in pink ink. “Why did you have to go. I saw you go right in front of my eyes,” wrote Harpreet. “We have to be strong for mom.” Jyothi’s message to her dad read: “We will make you proud and take care of mom. You left us too

All I can remember is all the good times we had together.” The B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate Khangura’s death and have yet to determine why he drowned while trying to swim across the calm river.
Although emergency personnel from the fire department, police and Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue arrived on scene shortly after Khangura’s family called 911, he could not be saved. Barb McLintock of the coroners service said Khangura was located on the river bottom around 8:30 p.m. His body was brought to the surface by a diver from the Canadian Coast Guard.

You can get wet but don’t drink water off Rocky Pt. By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Fraser Health Authority is warning people to avoid contact with the water around Rocky Point in Port Moody after high levels of E. coli were discovered during a recent test. And, yesterday afternoon, a city of Port Moody spokesperson said it would be posting advisories at Old Orchard Beach to notify swimmers to stay out of the water there, too. Dave Teixeira asked the public to check with the city website (portmoody.ca) before wading into the water this week and next. Fraser Health consultant Tasleem Juma said Rocky Point advisory was precautionary, noting that a person would only get sick if they fell into the water and ingested some of it. “If they just fall in without swallowing any water, they should be fine,” she said in an email. “If they do swallow the water and feel ill, they should call their doctor, go to walk-in clinic or call public health to get checked out.” The recent increase in E. coli levels is being
blamed on the hot temperature but Juma said similar incidents can also occur during cooler weather. Fraser Health issued its warning on Tuesday and said staff would continue to monitor the water quality until coliform levels returned to normal. There are currently signs at Rocky Point Park warning park-goers of the potential hazards the water can cause. “We will conduct follow-up testing and will advise the city when the coliform levels have come down,” she added.“At that point, the city can remove the signage.” In the meantime, recreational power boaters, sailors, kayakers, paddleboarders and canoeists can still go out on the water as long as they avoid drinking it. Fraser Health also recommends that people keep their pets on shore. For the moment, the E. coli increase appears to be concentrated around the beach at Rocky Point. Juma noted that the water on the other side of the Port Moody Inlet at Old Orchard Park was still safe for swimming.
sprinkling regs still on With the recent spate of warm weather, the city of Port Coquitlam is reminding residents not to over-water their lawn.

Laser may be the answer.
Neck pain for 20 years “I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69) Plantar Fasciitis “I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel. I have been going for 4 weeks now and am almost all the way healed. The treatments are painless.” J.M. (52) Knee Pain “...after just 7 sessions, I feel much better. I can now walk and go up and down stairs without pain at the end of the day.” G.L.

A day for Terry T
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
urning B.C. Day into Terry Fox Day would be a good idea and make the summer long weekend a holiday worth celebrating. Manitoba officially plans to dedicate its August civic holiday to Port Coquitlam hometown hero and B.C. should do the same. The Manitoba connection is admittedly strong — Fox was born there in 1958 — but he grew up here and came up with the idea of his gruelling cross-country run at home in Port Coquitlam. Fox is also buried here and honouring his contributions with the long weekend Monday seems fitting and would give some needed substance to the day. Currently, the most that can be said for B.C. day is that it is a welcome break and a summer holiday tradition, and gives an anchor to many a camping or cross-country holiday. If most of us are asked by tourists “What is B.C. Day?”we likely can only hide an embarrassed smile. Asked what Terry Fox Day means to British Columbians and you are likely to get a thorough, heartfelt dissertation on the PoCo hero, his qualities and accomplishments. Let’s do it.

Potholes on road to transportation referendum AS I SEE IT Jeff Nagel
B
esides gridlock on the roads and SkyTrain, Metro Vancouver mayors and the province are stuck breathing each other’s exhaust on the path to a transit expansion referendum supposed to happen next March. The BC Liberal government is largely to blame because it mandated the ill-advised referendum, ordered mayors to come up with a prioritized plan — which they did — and now is balking at contributing as much to it as the mayors want. The province previously pledged to pay one third of the costs of new transit lines and a Pattullo Bridge replacement, and said it would urge Ottawa to match. Perhaps the government never thought mayors would agree on a plan but now it’s suffering sticker shock. Granted, there’s a limit to what Victoria can pony up for Metro without depriving other re-
gions, and its offer came with affordability fine print. But clarity is required. The province must spell out the total it would contribute to Metro transit expansion over 10 years — not 12 or 15 or 20, as it suggests. The mayors must also do their part and pick how they want the rest of us to pay our share. They should first abandon tapping the existing carbon tax as a source of revenue as there’s no way the province will part with it. And creating a new Metro-only carbon tax is little different from raising the 17-cent-alitre gas tax, which TransLink admits is a poor mechanism that brings in less revenue as cars get more efficient, drivers refuel out of region — even out of country — and residents drive less as transit improves and town centres densify. Instead, the mayors need to pick either some form of annual vehicle levy or a regional sales tax — or both — with that revenue to be replaced by road pricing over the long term. The referendum, then, should strictly be to approve the short-term funding source. Road or mobility pricing should not be subject to this or any future referendum. Sporadic tolling

IN QUOTES
“Mayors need to torpedo the notion that voters can cast a No vote to punish TransLink... The referendum would then become an either/or debate over how we, as a region, will fund an improved transit system that is critical to our collective future.” Jeff Nagel of new bridges is making toll reform inevitable and time-of-day road pricing offers big potential to ease congestion by changing drivers’ behaviour. Finally, the mayors need to torpedo the notion that voters can cast a No vote to punish TransLink and not pay any more for transit.They should declare that a defeated referendum on a
new funding source will mean the same money will come from higher TransLink property taxes, which mayors have unfettered authority to raise. The referendum would then become an either/or debate over how we, as a region, will fund an improved transit system that is critical to our collective future. It would not be a none-of-the-above option for the no-new-taxes crowd or a spanking opportunity for those furious at the flaws of TransLink. Whatever the mayors do, however, it is possible the province, having dragged its feet on a solution for years, will continue to stall, forcing an indefinite delay of the referendum. Municipal elections in November will then bring a new crop of mayors who may be more divided than the current bunch, giving the province an easy escape. And even if most mayors remain united behind their worthy vision, precious time will be lost. That would be unfortunate — and it would be the provincial government’s fault.

Residents want a pool The Editor, R. “$4M proposed for park — but residents want a pool” (The Tri-City News, July 30). Coun. Brent Asmundson, you are way off base in voting against replacing Rochester swimming pool. The public in this area wants a swimming pool, not a cold-water spray park. The city has received nearly $100 million from the casino and we can’t afford swimming pools for our kids? I hope the city council reconsiders this decision. Glenn Rickard, Coquitlam

The Editor I am writing to express my gratitude to all of the people who came out to the Port Moody cenotaph on Aug. 3 and 4. A few days ago, the 100th Anniversary of the start of the First World War was commemorated in Ottawa at our National War memorial and throughout Europe. And it was also recognized in the Tri-Cities by a very small ceremony in Port Moody at the cenotaph next to the Legion hall. With a somewhat unusual idea, a couple of local residents put together a remembrance event that would in no way match the wellfunded ceremonies that took place elsewhere but the importance of our little ceremony was equal. We held an all-night vigil on the eve of the war’s centennial with two sentries, including Markus Fahrner, a former British Army officer, taking turns standing watch at the memorial and with my sons Sean and Cameron ringing an old ship’s bell to mark the passing of each hour.

SD43 launching own back-to-class push Campaign to start with ads, letters By Diane Strandberg the tri-City News
With a labour dispute jeopardizing backto-school plans, School District 43 trustees are launching a campaign to raise public awareness and spur efforts at the bargaining table. SD43 has hired a consultant, is buying ads in local newspapers and putting information on its website, and is expected to launch a Twitter campaign to put pressure on the BC Teachers’ Federation and the province’s bargaining arm, the BC Public Schools Employers’ Association, whose reps were to meet today (Friday). “This is the board of education responding to our community and to what we’ve heard that students and staff want schools to be open on Sept. 2,” said board chair Melissa Hyndes. “And we’re launching this campaign to get the community more aware and to inform other parties that we expect they’re at the table getting a deal
TRUSTEE MELISSA HYNDES done so our students and staff are not suffering come September.” The “SD43 Puts Students First” campaign is being launched at the same time the BC School Trustees Association (BCSTA) has launched its Back-to-School Action plan to have all B.C. public schools start the 2014/’15 school year on time. In its plan, the BCSTA has called for a negotiated agreement by Aug. 31 and clean school sites and teachers, support staff and administrators in schools to welcome students Sept. 2. Hyndes said the trustees’ goal in their campaign is also to encourage both sides in the dispute to resolve their dispute and get an agreement, but it’s also to show families that the
board is doing something about the current situation. “We’re listening to our community and need to get our voice heard,” said the Port Moody trustee. Families are anxious about the coming school year and don’t know whether to buy school supplies in mid-August, and some businesses may be hurting financially because of the uncertainty, she said. While Hyndes didn’t have the cost breakdown for the campaign — including the cost of hiring a consultant, who is also the communications spokesperson for the BCSTA, or for advertising — she said the amount will be small and not hurt the already financially strapped district. As for the province’s plan, announced last week, to pay families $40 a day per school aged child under 12 if school doesn’t start on time, she said it’s not the best approach and the money should go to public education instead. “The letter [to be published in local media] is going to talk about that,” Hyndes said.

‘One of lowest-paid chiefs’ continued from front page
Member Beverly Mroczkowski said in one video: “With Ron as chief, we have moved forward immensely.” “In my role as chief, I am one of the lowest paid chiefs in the country,” Giesbrecht said in his statement of his $4,800-a-year salary. “I was asked to take on the role of economic development officer because I know the importance of these opportunities for our nation. “I did not expect our nation to be as successful as it was and it means that Kwikwetlem First Nation is in a better position than it has ever been before,”he wrote. Giesbrecht did not address the 10% bonus nor some band members’ calls for a forensic audit of the Kwikwetlem finances. According to the audited statements, the Kwikwetlem First Nation reported $10.1 million in financial assets and $1.3 million in liabilities for the last fiscal year. It collected 4.3125” x 8” $8.2 million
from the provincial government, $673,581 from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, $298,232 from BC Hydro, $22,271 from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., $1.25 million from Quantum Murray and $1 million from“miscellaneous.” It also spent $2.2 million in economic development. The $8.2-million provincial land deal pertained to 584 acres of Crown land north of Coast Meridian Road that the province put up for sale on Feb. 4 to balance its books; 370 acres were purchased a month later by Wesbild. (This week, a spokesperson from B.C.’s Ministry of Finance said seven parcels from that sale, totalling 222.5 acres, are still available.) John Rustad, B.C.’s minster of aboriginal relations and reconciliation, was unavailable for comment but a statement was issued by his office: “The province has a legal duty to consult with First Nations when selling Crown-owned
final
land. In some instances as part of the province’s legal duty to consult, an accommodation or economic benefit agreement may be reached with First Nations to extinguish future claims on the property. “Economic benefit agreements can take several different forms as long as they are mutually agreed upon by both parties, including financial arrangements and/ or development partnerships etc. Additionally, government policy permits direct sales to First Nations,” the statement read. A call to BC Liberal MLA Doug Horne (Coquitlam-Burke Mountain) was not returned, and Tri-City MPs James Moore and Fin Donnelly were not available on Thursday. Federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt was not able to comment this week although his office reiterated the Transparency Act was put into place to allow First Nation members to access financial data of the bands (about 4_NE081G114

Michael Trentalance (second from left), assistant manager of Rona on Austin Avenue in Coquitlam, joined Crossroads Hospice Society’s Barb Freeman, Jason Jakubec and Anna Wilczewski last month to present $220 it had raised through popcorn sales. Crossroads also accepted a $7,000 donation recently from the Kinsmen Club of Coquitlam. Over the past 10 years, the Kinsmen have collected more than $50,000 for the cause and its members have volunteered at its Hike for Hospice. Mossom Creek hatchery’s Ruth Foster and Neil Jaffra were on hand last month to accept $4,000 from a Port Moody company. Pacific Coast Terminals made the donation for the hatchery rebuild, with staff Bill Glendinning, Wade Leslie and city councillor Diana Dilworth offering up the contribution on the business’ behalf.

August is peak fresh food season MARKET FRESH Karen Curtis Corn and, of course, tomatoes aplenty
A
ugust is the pinnacle of the local food season. The bounty seems limitless and there is virtually nothing that is not available. For me, this time of year is all about the corn. If you read this column last year, you already know how obsessed I am with corn on the cob and how many I can eat. But corn isn’t the only treat this time of year. Now is the time to stock up on tomatoes, too — and so many varieties are available. Cherry tomatoes in a multitude of colours are perfect to pop in your mouth or serve in a Greek salad. Heirloom tomatoes are so sweet, they shine all by themselves with nothing more than a drizzle of vinegar (especially if its vinegar from Red Barn) and a sprinkle of sea salt. Forstbauer Organics and Langley Organics will supply you with the very best of the heirlooms. If its tomatoes for sauce that you are after, Red Barn and Silver Hill have those, along with Natural Village and Country Village farms. Traditional varieties of tomatoes are perfect for canning. If canning seems a bit daunting, you can do what I do: Wash and core the tomatoes then pop them into freezer bags and freeze them whole — they cook up beautifully when you
Slice those veggies There are plenty of fresh, local vegetables at local markets with which you can try out this recipe:
VEGETABLE TIAN
2 tbsp olive oil (divided) 1 large sweet yellow onion cut in half and sliced 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1-2 russet potatoes, unpeeled 1 zucchini 1 yellow squash 3 large Roma tomatoes sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste dried thyme, to taste 1/2 cup of grated cheese
Preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a baking dish with olive oil cooking spray. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 60 seconds. Spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Slice the potatoes, zucchini, squash and tomatoes in 1/4 inch thick slices. Layer them alternately in the dish on top of the onions, fitting them tightly into a spiral, making only one layer. Season with sea salt, black pepper and dried thyme, to taste. Drizzle the last tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Uncover and sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes or until browned. Enjoy.

need them for a sauce. And while you are freezing, once you have had your fill of fresh peaches, they, too, will freeze easily. All they require is a simple blanch to remove the skins, then cut them and freeze them in layers on cookie sheets. Once frozen, they can be put in freezer bags, too — perfect for smoothies, fruit crisps or pies when you want a taste of summer in January. And don’t forget the blueberries. It looks like its going to be a banner year for these sweet
treats. All this sun is making those beauties extra big and sweet. Blueberries have to be the easiest of all to preserve. Give them a quick rinse, spread them on a cookie sheet and freeze. A large zipper bag will hold plenty of summer to add to your baking. If you want to get creative and have time on your hands, dip the blueberries in vanilla greek yogurt first, then freeze — a decadent treat. And speaking of treats, how about making homemade potato chips? In the microwave,
no less? These really do work. If you have a mandolin, slice a scrubbed potato super thin. If not, just slice it as thin as you can. Toss the slices in a bowl with a bit of olive oil and salt. (This would be a great time to experiment with the flavoured salts from The Salt Dispensary). Coat a microwave-safe plate with a bit more oil and place a layer of potatoes on the plate. Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds, then flip the slices and microwave again. That’s it. As the potatoes cool, they crisp up and
are delicious. While you have the mandolin out, slice up some extra veggies and make a vegetable tian (see recipe). This dish makes the most of tomatoes, potatoes and zucchini, and, with the exception of the olive oil, every single ingredient can be purchased at market.

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part.

This Ford does Super-Duty Forest fire conditions in B.C. are high and the men and women who fight these fires rely on their vehicles on remote back roads and the forest floor. A variety of vehicles make up the firefighter fleet but lately they have been using the Ford Super-Duty. The 2015 version is powerful enough to haul heavy trailers and large enough to double as a mobile office. The 6.7 l Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8, with higher power ratings for 2015, coupled with a 6R140 heavy duty Torqshift six-speed automatic transmission delivers improved torque, horsepower and fuel economy. The engine pumps out a whopping 860 ft. lb. of torque at 1,600 rpm and 440 horsepower at 2,800 rpm. It has lots of get up and go. Ease your way into the throttle and before you know it, you are at highway speeds. Power and acceleration are smooth and effortless. When properly equipped the Super Duty has a maximum tow rating of 14,152 kg (31,200 lbs) and a total payload of up to 3,293 kg (7,260 lbs) The interior is very functional. The available LCD productivity screen keeps you up to date with vital information, for example fuel economy numbers, towing, off-road information and voice command navigation. A rapid heat supplemental cab heater is available for those cold days that you need interior heat quickly. When you leave your mobile office, it is nice to know you have options with storing

your valuables. Under-seat locking storage compartments beneath the first and second row seats provide space for laptops and other important things. I really liked the layout of the gauges and controls in this vehicle; all are easily read and accessible. There are 12-volt outlets everywhere: two in the dash, one in the centre console, one in the back of that console, right beside the newly added 110V/150W power inverter and there’s a supply located in the rear under-seat storage bin. Noise levels in the cab are amazing — this is must be the quietest diesel on the planet, running as quietly as a gasoline vehicle. You can easily hold conversations in the cab at any speed with no interference from outside. BE CAREFUL Remember, when travelling the back roads this summer, pay attention to the fire danger rating, follow any camp fire bans and report any fires you see too 1-800-6635555 or *5555. You’ll help the firefighters keep their trucks clean and shiny longer. ian.harwood @drivewaybc.ca

CONTRIBUTOR
“Staring down at the impediment, This week’s feature: ature: I mentally beous moaned the frus- All-new luxurious trating barrier Escalade! de! while sending out bad vibes to drivewaycanada.ca nasty, thoughtless planners.”
A
ttention all card-carrying cliché-ists, I have a new candidate for you. One that could fit in with those handy standbys that we spout when a new, apt phrase is hovering but not quite lip-ready. Like“If life gives you lemons, make lemonade” or“This too will pass,” or“Don’t postpone joy.” (OK, that last one is not really a cliché but it’s a great mantra in the“Keep calm, carry on”category). My suggested new entry? “There’s always a ramp.” It came to me in a moment of pique and it erased an unspoken crankier comment. You see, I’ve recently started using a walker — reluctantly at first, now with boundless enthusiasm. But — there’s always
a“but”— having this appendage, complete with hand-painted daisies to fake an accessory look, has brought into glaring light all the steps and stairs I so blithely ignored in my untethered days. Staring down at the impediment between me and the terrace entrance of my destination
recently, I mentally bemoaned the frustrating barrier while sending out bad vibes to nasty, thoughtless planners who don’t care about poor me and my ilk. And then I glimpsed a blue logo on a nearby post, an increasingly familiar sketch of a wheelchair.
Aha! There it was. A wide, easy-to-manage ramp for those who use walkers and wheelchairs. As I meandered down (most ramps meander, it’s a space thing) to join the throngs, I realized that if we look carefully, we’ll find the alternate route that takes us where we want/need to go.
Some ramps — be they mental or physical — might be a little harder to find but, hey, who said life was perfect. So the next time you bump into a roadblock, repeat after me:“There’s always a ramp.” Together, we just might create a new cliché.

Wildwood Lakefront Cottages are located on Washington’s Lake Whatcom, just 55 kilometres from the Blaine border. Right on the pristine shores of the lake, families will find plenty of activities, or just the perfect place to relax and enjoy spending time together.
Canadians are discovering Wildwood Lakefront Cottages By Kerry Vital
Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, yet it is only 55 kilometres south of the Blaine border! Lake Whatcom is over 16 kilometres long and a pristine watershed. It serves as the drinking water for nearby Bellingham so it has stringent rules in place to protect it, and that makes swimming and all lake recreation even better. At the south end of the lake on a quiet cove, a family campground called Wildwood has been a popular designation for Canadians since the 1950s. It has recently been redeveloped into a private cottage community and now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages, right on the picturesque shores at South Bay. The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge cedar trees and pristine lake and shoreline. The Canadian developers have added in a tennis/ball hockey court, a swimming pool and hot tub, playground, walking trails, clubhouse, marina, and covered picnic pavilion to complement the lake activities.
“It’s a real family experience,” says Wayne Lyle, the developer’s Canadian spokesperson. “Canadians are buying here for the legacy, for the memories.” One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager, and your landscaping is all looked after. Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for an evening swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available onsite. The private marina has 34 private boat slips and 15 mooring buoys, and a number of guest slips. The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floor plans to choose from and three natural colour schemes. The main floor features the living areas, sunny window seats, decked-out kitchens and one bedroom or one-bedroom plus den configurations with sleeping lofts above. “Kids love the sleeping lofts; the ceilings are five feet in height,” Lyle says. “They think it’s built just for them!” While not large in size, these are upscale cottages with hardwood flooring, quartz
countertops, stainless-steel appliances and stone fireplaces. Some of the cottages have rooftop decks that are perfect for star-gazing. Each cottage includes a covered outdoor deck to give you that indoor-outdoor life that everyone loves in the summer, some with an outdoor fireplace. You’ll also find an outdoor wood burning fire pit with every cottage, perfect for lazy fall nights full of stories and s’mores. Wildwood is also fortunate in that it has over 1,700 feet of waterfront; that means the furthest you can get from the lakefront from any cottage is
only 150 yards! “This a great base camp for families,” Lyle says. “With many other Pacific Northwest attractions nearby and with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is certainly a very attractive alternative!” Lots at Wildwood start at $160,000, and fully finished cottages including lots start at $330,000. For more information, visit www.wildwoodlakefrontcottages.com or call the Canadian office contact number at 1-855-588-7788. The site is open for tours on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or any time by appointment except Sundays. Call today for an appointment!

Team BC took on Team New Brunswick during the midget National Box Lacrosse tournament at the Coquitlam Sport and Leisure Complex on Monday. The tournament, which is jointly hosted by the Coquitlam Adanacs and the New Westminster Salmonbellies, will continue this weekend with the gold medal games for the various divisions taking place on Friday and Saturday. The matches will be streamed live at the www.viasport.ca on Friday, Aug. 8 between 3 and 6 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 9, between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Sr. Adanacs wrap up season with victory Club takes down the Burnaby Lakers 16-9 in final game By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Sr. Adanacs may have missed the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs, but at least they ended the regular season on a high note. Last weekend, the club finished up their schedule by beating up on the
secondp l a c e Burnaby Lakers 16-9, finishing the season four GoodWiN points shy of a post-season berth. Coquitlam went 7-11 in the 18 games the club played this year, four points shy of the New Westminster Salmonbellies, who were 9-9. During last Friday’s match, Coquitlam
jumped out to an early lead. Steven Neufled opened the scoring at 15:40, adding a second marker two minutes later, while Brandon Goodwin also noticed a goal before Burnaby could get on the board. By the end of the first 20 minutes, Coquitlam had a 5-1 lead over the home team. The club kept up the offensive push in the middle period, with Brian Gillis, Daryl Veltman, Tyler Garrison and Brett Hickey all finding the back of the net.
However, Burnaby was able to close the scoring gap with several markers of their own, coming off the sticks of Alex Gajic, Jackson Decker, Jason Jones and Tyler Digby. But any hope of a comeback was quelled in the final frame, when the Adanacs added three unanswered goals midway through the frame. Goodwin rounded out the hat trick and added a fourth goal in the third, while Matt Delmonico and Daryl Veltman also notched two goals. Ryan Johnson, Travis Cornwall
and Matthew Dinsdale scored singles in the game. Adanacs goalie Tyler Glebe stopped 31 of the 40 shots he faced in the game, while Dan Lewis stopped 42 of 58 for the Lakers at the other end of the arena. The WLA playoffs have already begun this week with New Westminster taking on the league-leading Victoria Shamrocks, while the Maple Ridge Burrards will play Burnaby in the first round.
Jr. Adanacs quest for the Minto continues The Coquitlam Sr. Adanacs may be done for the year but there is still plenty of local lacrosse taking place this week. The B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League champions the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs will be hosting the Calgary Mountaineers this week, as part of the Western Canadian Finals. The winning team moves on to play in the Minto Cup. Games will take place at 8 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sport and Leisure Complex on every day between Aug. 7 and Aug. 11, depending on how the series goes. For more information go to www.bcjall.com.

Coq. brings home gold at lax tourney
BRENT MARTIN PHOTO
Port Moody driver Peter Valkenburg will race his 1961 Volvo PV544 at the 27th annual B.C. Historic Motor Races at the Mission Raceway Park next weekend (Aug. 16 to 17). He is not the only Tri-City resident that will be competing in the event. Port Coquitlam’s Allan Cruickshank will be racing a 1975 LeGrand MK21. The two will compete against drivers from across Western Canada and the United States.
The A1 midget Coquitlam Adanacs dominated the competition at the Midget Lacross Championships in Campbell River, outscoring all opposition 62-30 on their way to winning the provincial banner. Coquitlam capped the tournament with an 8-4 win over Langley in the finals, carrying on an undefeated streak that began when they club went 5-0 in roundrobin play. The finals were a rematch from the first game Coquitlam played in the tournament, when Langley forced overtime with 30 seconds left. Thankfully, the A’s were able to notch their first win
of the tourney when Ethan Ticehurst scored in extra time. In Game 2 on Th u r s d ay, t h e c l u b continued its winning ways with a 10-4 victory over Juan de Fuca and a 10-6 win against Saanich. Two more wins on Friday — a 6-3 victory
over Maple Ridge and an 11-3 win over New Westminster — set the club up nicely going into the playoff rounds. Coquitlam dispatched Saanich 12-3 in the semifinals before taking on Langley in the gold medal game on Sunday. sports@tricitynews.com

PoCo wins provincials The Port Coquitlam Saints denied the Victoria Shamrocks their gold, defeating the Vancouver Island club 14-10 in the intermediate ‘A’ provincial championship finals in Richmond last weekend. The game was a rematch of an earlier round-robin showdown
saw the Saints lose by the exact same score. But the PoCo club was able to turn the table on Victoria, holding the lead when the final buzzer sounded to bring home the provincial banner. PoCo’s trip to the finals was a bumpy ride. The c lub st a rt ed the highly competi-
tive round-robin play close win against Maple Ridge, forcing overtime with 0.6 seconds left in the third before winning in the extra period. In the second game of the tournament, PoCo defeated its Tri-City rival the Coquitlam Adanacs to set the stage for the showdown with Victoria.
