Homeless numbers down

City has questions for Metro

How it would work, who would do what and which governing body would take precedence are just a few of the questions Coquitlam wants answered before any progress is made on the regional growth strategy. The city’s land use and economic development committee voted to defer sending any amendments or recommendations to Metro Vancouver until the committee’s next meeting on May 10. In the meantime, however, staff will be tasked with addressing the latest round of concerns coming from the committee and council: how a dispute between a member municipality and Metro Vancouver would play out and whether land-use decisions will be made in a collaborative way or using a more centralized approach. City manager Peter Steblin said Monday that while Coquitlam agrees with the general vision of the draft document — encouraging compact communities, for example — the city is concerned with how decisions made at the regional level would affect individual municipalities. “Where we differ, and where we have some very significant concerns, is how they are implemented. We believe there may be a host of unintended consequences in the implementation of those goals if they’re not done very sensitively and very wisely,” he said. Monday’s talks relate to the region-wide effort to update the livable region strategic plan, which was first drafted in 1996. That document has long been referred to by some on council as an arbitrary agreement with few legislative powers. However, how and whether those powers will shift in the  CONT.

MARKING 100 YEARS: David Spence, treasurer of the Port Moody Commemorative Society, displays some naval artifacts in preparation for weekend celebrations honouring the centennial of the Canadian Navy. Several events are planned, including a Battle of the Atlantic dinner and a parade through Moody Centre. See story, Page 8.

The Tri-Cities Cold/Wet Weather Mat Program recorded its most successful year to date, according to figures released to the city on Monday. Forty-five homeless people either found housing or entered detox centres between November 2009 and April 1, 2010, despite the fact that overall shelter usage numbers were down from last season. “This was the third year of our shelter program, and it’s the highest number of success stories in all three years,” said Rob Thiessen, director of the Hope For Freedom Society. “Because it’s such a low number of people to draw from, the success percentage goes up exponentially.” March 31 represented the end of this year’s instalment of the mat program, which sees homeless people temporarily housed at night at churches throughout the Tri-Cities between November and March. A total of 144 clients — 124 men and 20 women — accessed the service this year, representing a marked drop from the 447 people who used the program one year ago. A mild winter and a surge in Vancouver-based shelter beds have been attributed as primary reasons for the decline, along with the fact that society workers have now been working with the local homeless population for four consecutive winters. “We’ve established the contacts we need with the resources and other service providers. We’ve got a system in place and it’s really starting to benefit the homeless populations — that’s the bottom line,” Thiessen said. “Even with the political landscape, the way people generally feel about homelessness and doing something about it has changed pretty dramatically over the last four years.” On top of the shelter use statistics is the fact neither the city nor the society received any complaints about the service over the course of the last five months. “If you look back to a few years ago, there was some ugliness at the beginning. But the bottom line is that it’s turned out really well because it really did make people aware of what’s going on,” Thiessen said. “All three cities are engaged where they weren’t before. You’ve got two police departments engaged where they weren’t necessarily before. The bylaw officers co-operate and  CONTINUED ON PAGE 3, see CITY COOL TO SHIPPING.

Get back in the game. Say goodbye to pain. After a few hours of tennis I would develop a limp and the knee pain was interfering with my game & sleep. I had an MRI and X-Rays and was diagnosed with serious arthritis in both knees. The other Doctors recommended physio therapy and expensive remedies that were injected into both knees. There was only minor improvement noticed. After seeing an ad in our local paper I decided to give Laser Light Therapy a chance. I’ve had about six half hour treatments for each knee and I can’t believe the results. Now after tennis I feel almost Laser Light Therapy no knee pain or stiffness and can sleep without pain.

the city in January. Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Douglas Horne is a proponent of the idea. “It doesn’t come with all the other things that are needed,” she said. “It’s not just about putting somebody on a mat and putting a roof over their head. There’s lots that goes into this.” Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group chair Sandy Burpee told The NOW Tuesday that while the shipping container proposal would be significantly cheaper than a purpose-built shelter, the negative aspects outweigh the positives: BC Housing would not fund the shipping containers, the containers would divert precious capital funds and the neces-

sary services would not be provided. “We wouldn’t want to offer them without the same supports that are available through the mat program,” Burpee said. “Certainly, there would have to be a component of the facility that allowed for a communal space where there’s contact between the people who are homeless, the clients of the shelter and the outreach workers because that’s where the real successes come from — exposing people who are homeless to people who care and outreach workers who possibly can connect them to services, housing or recovery services.”

Two Port Coquitlam residents are facing a plethora of charges after the RCMP emergency response team swooped down on a Prairie Avenue home last week. Coquitlam’s prolific target team called ERT members to the 1500 block of Prairie last Tuesday to search a

house, according to a press release. Officers found a cache of weapons, ammunition, more than 1.3 kilograms of marijuana, a “substantial” amount of cash (including counterfeit $100 bills) and stolen property, including a high-end camera and lenses worth more than $5,000. Port Coquitlam residents Keith MacDonald, 29, and Lettesha Armstrong, 20, were arrested before the search.

Police are recommending 14 charges against the pair: possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of counterfeit money, three counts of possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition, three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, three counts of careless use of a firearm and three counts of possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized. “Whenever one of our projects suc-

ceeds in getting drugs and weapons out of the hands of these criminals before they can do any further damage to our community, it’s a good day,” Sgt. Steve Reinhart of the Coquitlam RCMP’s prolific target team said in a release. Armstrong was granted bail and is out on conditions while awaiting trial. MacDonald remains in custody pending the outcome of his bail hearing today (Wednesday).

Other cities need to buy into plan, councillor says  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

updated strategy remains one of the prevailing concerns around the committee table. Council members and staff are apprehensive about creating too much of a bureaucracy at the regional level, and expressed concern over how that bureaucracy would affect the decision-making process on local land-use matters. “We have worked very well under a partnership

and I think that’s where it has to stay and that will give us the control over all these issues that we’ve already had,” said Coun. Brent Asmundson. Another sticking point around the table was the level of willingness other cities have had towards buying into the plan. “If we, as a region, are going to get together and try to plan regionally we ought to be doing so consistently so that each community is in with the same

stake, has the same interest at heart and has the same goals. I don’t think we do. Right now we have a regional growth strategy at the draft stage that doesn’t have a hope in hell of being adopted,” committee chair Coun. Mae Reid said. “We can’t have a new regional plan unless there is buy-in from everybody at the same level. And if some of the cities do not want to participate, then I don’t believe we have a deal.”

If you think your hearing has changed,you're probably right. If you think no one else has noticed,you're probably wrong. Annual hearing checkups will answer the question, "Is my hearing changing?"

Traffic blitz nets 66 violations Simone Blais sblais@thenownews.com The ol’ switcheroo wasn’t worth it after all. Port Moody police and the Integrated Road Safety Unit teamed up for five hours last weekend at two intersections — Barnet Highway and Clarke Street, and St. Johns Street and Ioco Road — to watch for red and yellow traffic light infractions. A total of 66 violations were issued during the afternoon blitz on Saturday, according to a press release, with one standing out more than others. During the campaign, officers watched as the passenger and driver in one vehicle switched seats. Upon pulling the vehicle over and speaking

with the occupants separately, officers allege both were impaired at the time of the traffic stop. The initial driver was allegedly found to be three times the legal limit of 0.08 mg. He was charged with impaired driving, driving over 0.08 mg and prohibited driving, and received a 24-hour roadside suspension and 90-day administrative driving prohibition. The other driver has been charged with refusing to provide a sample, and received a 24-hour roadside suspension and 90-day administrative driving prohibition. The vehicle will also be impounded for 30 days. In separate road stops, police issued one ticket to a motorist for driving without a licence, three to drivers for using an electronic device while driving and two vehicle inspection notices.

Alleged spitter facing charges Alfie Lau editorial@thenownews.com A Coquitlam girl is facing charges after allegedly spitting in the face of a New Westminster police officer. On Thursday, April 22, just after 11:30 a.m., New Westminster police arrested a man in possession of bear spray in the 800 block of Eighth Street. During the arrest, a 17-year-old girl walked between the officers and the suspect to engage the suspect in a conversation.

When police officers asked the girl to leave, she refused, even after being warned that she could be arrested for obstruction. Sgt. Gary Weishaar, media spokesperson for the New Westminster police, alleged in a press release that, “The female started yelling profanities at the police officers and then she walked up to one of the officers and spit in his face.” The girl was arrested for assault, released in the charge of her guardian and now faces charges of assaulting a police officer. She cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Incorrect information appeared in a story, “No answer yet in death of woman,” that ran in

the Friday, April 23 edition. The correct name of the woman who died is Collette Salemink.

Opinion

Use resources to cut debt British Columbia’s growing debt worries me. I’m afraid that my generation and those that follow us could end up footing the bill. Sure, we’re getting new roads and bridges, new hospitals and schools. And these are things we need. But I would feel a whole lot better if I knew that steps were being taken to pay for these things in a timely manner before the entire tab gets handed to me, my peers and our children. To The When I look at Alberta, I see a province that doesn’t have any debt to pass along to upcoming generations. That’s not surprising when you look at the valuable oil and gas resources Alberta developed. But British Columbia also has oil and gas reserves, and scads of renewable energy on top of it. One recent report I

read estimates British Columbia’s renewable energy resources, like wind and small hydro, could be more than three times what the province has developed so far. The question, then, is when are we going to get on with developing British Columbia’s rich energy resources? The revenue and wealth that could be created would go a long way toward paying off the province’s debt before it lands in the lap Editor of my generation and our children. It may seem like a dream, but Alberta did it and they started off with almost as much debt as British Columbia. We can do it, too, if we set our minds to it. Christian Albanese Coquitlam

Our View

We can’t buy our way out of this mess

nother Earth Day has come and gone. Did you do anything for Earth on the one day of the year set aside for everyone to remember that there’s an environment? And no, buying the Avatar DVD does not count — not even if you recycled the plastic wrap and bag it came in. In fact, Avatar is a perfect example of the way the average person is told to help the environment: spend. We’re told to buy electric cars instead of gas guzzlers, that we can buy solar panels to put on our homes or a movie about giant blue people to feel better about ourselves. Take a walk through your grocery store, and look for products with words like “natural” and “green” and “organic” on the packaging (which is usually plastic packaging). Everyone wants to be an environmentalist, but almost no one is able (or willing) to give up their car or buy carbon credits every time they fly — or to downsize to a small apartment instead of a large, resource-wasting house. So we try to buy our way out of our green-induced guilt here and there. In many cases, we’re paying more but doing only a bit of good; sometimes we’re the victims of “greenwashing,” in which ordinary products are tarted up with false claims of environmental superiority. Much like Christmas, Earth Day could eventually be dragged down into the mire and become more of a consumer event than a holiday about anything important. And that would be a tragedy. More and more economists and governments are crowing about green jobs and green industries. We do need a strong economy to get out of the mess we’re in. But we need to keep in mind that consumerism is one of the things that got us into this mess in the first place. There’s no sale price on a healthy environment.

As murky as that position is, it is one of the more specific positions the NDP has taken on anything. The party is unclear, for example, what exactly it would do with the HST. New Democrats may be signing the anti-HST petition in droves, but if they take power in 2013 there is no indication they would do anything with the HST itself. But eventually, as much as people may have tuned out the BC Liberals, they will begin demanding to hear something from the NDP. Party leader Carole James, who has taken a low profile in recent months, will be pressured to come up with some ideas of her own. The NDP is currently obeying the old political adage that says if a government is falling, the Opposition simply has to get out of the way. At some point, however, the Opposition has to show it’s ready to govern. People are going to start looking at the NDP seriously, especially if the BC Liberals keep drifting along ever closer to that cliff.

Internship provides a new look at Coquitlam

very year since 1976, the beginning of January has seen 10 bright recent university graduates eagerly step into the legislative assembly in Victoria. These 10 individuals are selected from across British Columbia to spend six months in our province’s capital to work and learn about government. This year, in an unprecedented representation, three of the interns were proudly from Coquitlam: Mark Hosak, Whitney Punchak Whitney Punchak and Angie Riano. Mark and Angie attended Centennial Secondary and then continued their studies at Simon Fraser University in political science. I attended Riverside Secondary and then moved to Vancouver Island, where I graduated from the University of Victoria with a degree in political science and business. I grew up in Coquitlam, my family lives here and I am a frequent visitor. Even though I’ve lived in Victoria for the past five years, Coquitlam is still referred to as home. Because I moved when I was only recently graduated from high school, I have never been acquainted with the workings and politics of my hometown. Quite frankly, this was because I was simply too young to care.

were so many things happening in Coquitlam. In one week I learnt about local politics, education and a whole host of topics that would make any citizen proud. I learnt that School District 43 has one of the best graduation rates in the world. I learnt that SUCCESS, an immigrant assistance program, offers classes on how to use foods found in a Canadian supermarket. I learnt that it is possible to make proper housing out of shipping containers. When I think back to all the organizations that I grew up with, such as Coquitlam City Soccer, Coastal Sound Music Academy, Eagle Ridge Field Hockey, Girl Scouts and others, I realize that I was never aware of how many dedicated individuals, most of them volunteers, were required to provide these services. Organizations like these, and the ones that I quickly became acquainted with earlier this month, make Coquitlam a great place to live. As the old saying goes, it takes a town to raise a child. I’d like to think that Mark, Angie and I are products of this idea. So thank you to all the people of Coquitlam who have helped us in innumerable ways become the people who we are today.

My View

Photo submitted

Whitney Punchak, who attended Riverside Secondary, joined Centennial grads Mark Hosak and Angie Riano in the legislative internship program, which gives university grads an inside view of provincial politics. I felt that this needed to change. The internship program has three components. We each have the opportunity to work in a ministry, a caucus and two constituency offices. In my case, I spent time with the Ministry of Intergovernmental Relations and government caucus. The first of my two weeks working in a constituency office was in early April. So I asked myself, “Why not go back to Coquitlam?” After the Easter long weekend, I came home. I spent the week working with

Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Douglas Horne and his office. I was kindly welcomed by Doug and his constituency assistant, Bernie Hiller. For the rest of the week, the two of them taught me the workings of a constituency office, brought me to a host of local meetings and patiently answered my questions. With my two mentors, I was able to see Coquitlam in a new light, and my first impressions were nothing but positive. I had no idea that there

Whitney Punchak is a University of Victoria graduate.

Letters To The Editor

Damn mad at tax My mother, God rest her soul, had numerous sayings, and the one that seems to crop up on a regular basis is, “If you do a kind deed for someone, then that deed comes back to you tenfold.” When I think of that cruel tax (the HST), with the authors being Premier Gordon Campbell and his henchman, Finance Minister Colin Hansen, it makes me damn mad. And I know I’m not the only one. Now Hansen is going to be circulating a mailout. And, of course, yes, you and I will be picking up the tab for it. Hansen says that the reason for it is to set straight some of the misinformation that has been and still is spreading like wildfire throughout the province. This is absolutely outrageous. Premier Campbell, you and your motley crew, in your wisdom, have created anything but a kind deed. So your consequence will not be tenfold. Jenny Farley Port Coquitlam

Weekend events in Port Moody celebrate naval centennial Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Navy veterans and members of the currentday military will be honoured this weekend in two events that commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Naval Services. In January 1910, Sir Wilfred Laurier introduced a bill to establish a Canadian naval service. On May 4, 1910, it received royal assent. To David Spence, treasurer of the Port Moody Commemorative Society, it’s important to mark the occasion and recognize Canadian heritage. “We wouldn’t have a nation called Canada unless we had a Navy. With the Navy, we’ve been able to identify who we are as a nation because we’re surrounded on three sides by water,” Spence said. “These events are happening in Port Moody because we’re a waterfront community. We’re trying, through our events, to emphasize the port of Moody.” The Port Moody Commemorative Society will host a Battle of the Atlantic dinner and

dance on Saturday, May 1 at the Port Moody City Hall Galleria, 100 Newport Dr. The reception will start at 6 p.m., followed by a fourcourse dinner at 6:30 p.m. The event will also include a cash bar, silent auction, storytelling and entertainment from a 17-piece jazz band. The event is free for veterans, and spouses or partners cost $20 each. On Sunday, May 2, the commemoration will continue with a parade and reception at Port Moody Legion Branch No. 119 at 2513 Clarke St. The event will start with a ceremony at 11 a.m. before the parade begins at 11:30 a.m. Veterans, police officers, firefighters and navy cadet bands will march along Clarke Street, up Mary Street, down Kyle Street and back to Clarke. After the parade, a reception will be held in the legion auditorium. Centennial celebrations will continue in July with a music road show called Sailors and Songs, plus a chance to view naval ships during Golden Spike Days. For more information or to buy dinner tickets, contact Sandra Baron at 604-719-1317 or barons5@shaw.ca.

May Day festivities start Friday Port Coquitlam will launch its annual May Day celebrations this weekend followed by another week of fun-filled activities. The festivities begin Friday with opening ceremonies slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex. Everyone is invited to watch the installation of the May Queen and the ambassador of the royal family. School children will entertain the crowds with traditional maypole dancing.

Events continue throughout the week with a heritage dance Saturday and youth carnival Sunday. A special seniors and youth dinner will take place Wednesday, followed by the Tri-City Reach Awards on Thursday. The following weekend will feature amusement rides and the parade. Activities will wrap up Sunday, May 9, with a Mother’s Day picnic in Lions Park. To learn more about May Day events, visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/mayday.

New View Society gets funds to build wellness centre Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com The New View Society is receiving nearly $2.2 million in provincial and federal funds to build a wellness centre to help those with mental illness. The province is pitching in $1.6 million towards construction of the three-storey New View Centre to provide housing and support services. The 11,800-square-foot centre will be built on Mary Hill Road in Port Coquitlam on the site of the former Lobb House, which was torn down in January 2009. The new building is expected to be complete in February 2011. The province will provide $89,393 in annual funds to operate the facility, which will include 10 beds for adults with mental health and addictions issues. It will also feature a full commercial kitchen, community wellness library, meeting rooms, craft room, lounge, recreation room and office space. The federal government will also contribute $575,000 through its homelessness partnering strategy, and $10,000 through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., which offers financial help for the first stages of housing

The ancient Chinese technique of acupuncture has been successful in China for over 2,000 years. Jane Wong has over 34 years experience as an acupuncturist. Two of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of acupuncture. 74-year old Edna has been smoking for 61 years. “I’ve been smoking since I was 13 years old, often two packs a day. After just three acupuncture treatments I’ve quit.” P. Chew, 88 years old was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up, and sleep alright, but could not sit, if he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given pain drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop and 34 Years Experience came to me. Now, he is free from the problem and lives happily. Jane says the centre can help with such problems as allergies, infection, arthritis and osteo arthritis, rheumatism, backaches, over-weight, sinus, chest pains, arm and shoulder pains, asthmatic wheezing, headaches, insomnia, stroke, quit smoking, sciatica, and eyesight.

Community

Walking group starts Saturday, May 8

Beginning May 8, a new session of the Mundy Mudthudders’ informal walking group will be held Saturday mornings, based on Coquitlam’s Mundy Park trails and branching out to other local parks, including Como Lake, Rocky Point, Belcarra, White Pine and Minnekhada.

This co-ed group will appeal to those wanting to kick-start their weekend by meeting up with others who share an enthusiasm for the great outdoors and who are already walking at a brisk, intermediate pace for at least one hour. Comprehensive mapbooks will be

provided for a nominal charge and group walks are held rain or shine. Mudthudders meet at 10:15 a.m. Saturdays on the trailhead at the foot of Regan Avenue, adjacent to Hillcrest Middle School. For more information, call 604-945-4374.

Aitken has worked at Port Coquitlam Happy Times Preschool for 25 years and has a reputation for not only building rapport with families and children, but working with other community agencies like Fraser Health to ensure children are accessing the resources they need in the community. Durkin has been working at the Kiddies Korner preschool in Port Coquitlam for more than 30 years, where she developed her own “child-centred” program. Horton has been working with children for the last 25 years as a registered physiotherapist, and started a sports program for disabled children called Thundercats. Rempel is the sole owner and operator of Castle Park Playschool in Port Coquitlam, where children explore, learn and create, and also develop

good social skills and have the opportunity to express their feelings, thoughts and ideas. Organization and group champion nominees include Little Scholars YMCA Daycare, Step-By-Step Child Development Society and SUCCESS Multicultural Family Resource Program. Businesses that have been selected include Coquitlam Centre and Thrifty Foods Suter Brook. Other people who were nominated for the awards but did not make the shortlist

The Tri-Cities Early Childhood Development (ECD) Committee has announced a veritable who’swho of early childhood development for its inaugural Tri-Cities Champions for Young Children Awards, to be announced next week. The group received scores of nominations in three categories — individual champions, group/organization champions and business champions — for those who have contributed to helping young Tri-Cities children learn and grow. “We’re excited. It’s the first time we’ve done it, and we’re getting a lot of positive feedback on it,” said Susan Foster, Tri-Cities ECD community development co-ordinator in a press release. “It was a very difficult decision when our selection committee sat down to review nominations. Our finalists were amazing, all of them. It

When Colony Farm became a regional park in 1995, fields were designated for agricultural use and wildlife habitat. A public tour of the thriving community gardens will take place at 2 p.m. Throughout the day, children will have an opportunity to plant a flower pot for Mother’s Day. This event, hosted by the Colony Farm Park Association and Burke Mountain Naturalists, will also include displays on bird migration and the history of Colony Farm Regional Park. Displays and activities will be set up in the meadow next to the parking lot at the end of Colony Farm Road. Access to the site from Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam is at the intersection of Colony Farm Road. The event is free.

FREE HOME ESTIMATES

On Saturday, May 8, Tri-Cities residents are invited to take a nature walk and enjoy other activities from 1 to 4 p.m. at Colony Farm Regional Park to celebrate International Migratory Bird Day and the annual Partners in the Park event. In addition to nature walks, participants will have an opportunity to tour the community gardens.

At 3 p.m., knowledgeable naturalists will lead a tour focused on the birds of Colony Farm to view resident species as well as recently arrived migrants. The unique habitat of Colony Farm attracts a number of birds not typically seen in suburban areas, including warblers, swallows and birds of prey. The walks will be on

Student of the Month It is with great pleasure that Pinetree announces Fatima as Student of the Month! Fatima has taken a wide range of courses at Pinetree which include: Honours courses, AP English Language and Composition, Choir, Jazz Choir, Band and Jazz Band. Her teachers describe her as mature, bright, hard working, and a delight to teach. Fatima is also a tremendous ambassador for the school. She was a member of Student Government in her grade 11 year and now serves on the Grad Council. She has been a member of the Music Council since grade 10 and most recently, she has served as their secretary. She is also a member of a select group of student volunteers for the school called Alpha Wolves and as such she acts as a representative and volunteer at school-wide events. In addition, Fatima is a member of Pinetree’s Speech and Debate Club and recently participated in the Regional Secondary Debate tournament.

Fatima is also a passionate humanitarian. This year, she co-founded a club called Students for Change and it now has thirty dedicated members who fundraise to help Fatima Hewaidi make a difference in the lives of people both locally and internationally. Not only have they raised funds for the Canadian Red Cross Landmine Victims’ Fund but the group is currently planning a Gala to support Free the Children’s “Brick by Brick” campaign which will help to build a school in Sierra Leone. Her group’s ﬁnal fundraiser this year will raise money to support underprivileged BC students attend Camp Phoenix.Add to this her involvement in school sports during Grade 9 and 10, her involvement in District Student Leadership and the BC Youth Parliament and you can see why Fatima is such a remarkable young woman. Congratulations Fatima!

Ornate library a must-see  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21.

The vaulted ceilings in the Great Hall soar overhead, their arches pinned by “brooches” of keystone coils. Solemn portraits of former prime ministers and House speakers line the corridors, and the view from the Peace Tower is spectacular — the Ottawa River on one side, the Rideau Canal on the other and the twin cities of Ottawa and Gatineau sprawling to the horizon. The 92-metre (302.5-foot) tower itself is something of a curiosity, as its elevator is inclined at a nine-degree angle, which you wouldn’t notice except that the elevator operator makes a point of mentioning it. Apart from the obligatory peek into the House of Commons chamber and the Senate (resplendent in red, emblematic of royalty), the one building that is an absolute must for any visitor is the Library of Parliament. The elegant interior evokes hushed exclamations of awe: deep blue interior walls soar upwards to the dome and intricately carved pale pine bookcases containing half a million reference books encircle the central reading area. The coats of arms for the seven provinces that existed

in 1876, and one for the Dominion of Canada, adorn the façade of the bookshelves and a large marble statue of the young Queen Victoria stands at the entrance. Next stop: Ottawa’s Bytown Museum, situated by the side of the Rideau Canal. The museum pays tribute to Col. John By, whose mission was to construct a 202-kilometre (125-mile) waterway to facilitate military manoeuvres between Upper and Lower Canada in the event of a hostile blockade of the St. Lawrence Seaway by the Americans. That By did so within the space of six years is a measure of his tenacity against formidable odds: clearing thickly forested and swampy marshland and coping with the loss of hundreds of his construction crew to malaria and dysentery as a result of unsanitary conditions. A budget overrun resulted in the colonel’s recall to Britain to face a censorious Cabinet accusing him of financial mismanagement. He died four years later, battered in body, mind and spirit — and his remarkable engineering feat wasn’t accorded the recognition it deserved. Little did he know that his name would endure in the annals of Canadian history

as the founding father of the brawling little settlement of Bytown that would be renamed Ottawa and eventually become the nation’s capital city in 1867. The War Museum focuses on the human aspect of war: tales of heroism in the face of almost certain death, the muck of the trenches, the lice infestations, the drudgery, the fatigue, the sheer plodding determination, the terror and the glory of battle. It is impossible not to be deeply moved

IMAGINING A GREENER EARTH: Students at Glenayre Elementary drew a chalk garden on school grounds as part of their Earth Week celebrations. They made their creation last Wednesday in a parking area that was closed to traffic, since the school encourages students to walk to class on Wednesdays. Kids drew plants and animals on the mural, which was divided into three areas: air, land and water. The school hopes to eventually get funding to plough up part of its grounds for a real garden.

Museum takes visitors on a journey across Canada  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22.

listening on headphones to real-life accounts and watching footage of the Boer War, the Korean conflict and, of course, the two Great Wars of the 20th century. All too vivid are the horrors of gas warfare, the debacle at Gallipoli and photos of the anxious faces of wives and mothers at home — and a touching shot of a child running to say farewell to his dad as he marches off with his regiment. There are scenes of joyous homecomings and plaques displaying the words of both “In Flanders Fields” and “High Flight.” The bleakness of the outdoors is easily forgotten once inside the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Apart from several special exhibits, the Canadian section encompasses a journey across the country — from the Maritimes to the West Coast — and the stories of inspirations, hopes and fears that have forged us together as a nation. No visit to the capital is complete without allowing for a good few hours at the National Gallery of Canada and spending a while at the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica. Two fine restaurants offer enjoyable respite from the weather. The Café Musee on the grounds of the Museum of Civilization serves up a generous Sunday afternoon brunch, and high tea in Zoe’s Lounge at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier is an unforgettable (and deservedly expensive) experience. It features feather-light pastries, both savoury and sweet, flutes of bubbly and a selection of specialty teas from across the world. Presided over by an attentive maitre d’, it is guaranteed to make you feel like royalty.

Score Card

First wins out of the way for Adanacs, Saints

A win is a win. But when your bottom line involves a Minto Cup, letting a four-goal lead evaporate and settling for a 12-11 overtime win is not the road to success that Coquitlam junior A Adanacs coach Curt Malawsky envisions. His squad had a tough battle against the Nanaimo Timbermen Saturday, one that was made tougher by a tepid third period. “I thought we played well in the first and second periods and then we got away from what we were doing,” the Adanacs’ first-year bench boss said. “They know you can’t be outplayed in the third but I guess with that lead they felt we were going to cruise.” In fact, if not for a nifty marker by Brandon Bertoia late in the third, after Nanaimo had netted five straight goals to take a 9-8 lead, it would have been a slow ferry ride home. Bertoia’s game-tying tally forced extra time, and then he added his second of the day, a powerplay marker at 7:43 of overtime to again erase a one-goal deficit. Ryan Johnson’s second goal with 38 seconds left in the 10-minute frame iced the win. Midget-aged Wesley Berg scored three times for the A’s, who led 5-4 after 20 minutes and 8-4 after 40. “I like our character to come back for the win, (and) we dug down deep and stuck to the gameplan at times,” Malawsky said. Although the team is missing some key players, including league scoring champ Robert Church, Malawsky remarked that there are no spots being saved for anyone. “I’m cut from the old school cloth. You have to work for everything, nothing is going to be given to you,” he said. Ed Patron also chipped in a pair, with singles from Jeff Cornwall, Taylor Morrison and Tom Seeman. The Adanacs visit Victoria on Saturday. Their first home game isn’t until May 19.

Saints earn first-week split

The ebb and flow of the early season has begun, with predictable results. The Port Coquitlam Saints rode the first wave to a 10-5 win over the Langley Thunder in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League opener. Two days later, however, the tide receded in a 13-7 loss to the Victoria Shamrocks. Defensively, the club is where it expected to be, head coach Nick Delmonico said. The attack is missing a few key cogs. “We’re a little short of offensive talent to start the season but we knew we’d be,” Delmonico noted. “Our defence did a good job of pressuring the opposition both nights.”  CONT.

BETWEEN THE LINES: Port Coquitlam’s Karen Madill has been officiating football for nearly 10 years and recently was chosen to be one of Canada’s representatives at the inaugural Women’s Tackle Football World championships in Sweden this summer.

PoCo official flagged for Worlds Dan Olson

sports@thenownews.com How do you say ‘Where’s your glasses, ref?’ in Swedish? As a veteran football onfield official, Port Coquitlam’s Karen Madill has heard just about every sideline shot and taunt that you can imagine. Whether she carries the big whistle or patrols the lines, the 53-year-old knows that complaints come with the territory. She’ll gladly take her share of comments on her next assignment, as Canada’s representative for the inaugural World Women’s Tackle Football championships in Stockholm, Sweden in June. “I was a few inches off the ground when I heard,” Madill said with a laugh. “I was contacted two weeks ago that it was between me and two women in Ontario, and I thought, ‘Well, the east usually gets it.’ So (Thursday) I was just going out to cut the lawn and go about my business and then the e-mail arrived. “Needless to say the grass didn’t get cut.” As chosen by the Canadian Football Officials

Association, the diminutive 5’3, 108-pound whistleblower is use to throwing flags and chasing six-foot tall teenage behemoths downfield in the Vancouver Mainland and Valley Community football leagues. The gridiron official will spend the next few months brushing up on the international rules and preparing for the international spotlight. She has never officiated a women’s tackle game before — which is popular in the U.S. and Europe. Her focus has been in staying on top of her duties while encouraging others to put on the stripes. Getting her own stripes took some patience. Madill tried umpiring her son’s baseball games in Medicine Hat one year but didn’t enjoy it. While volunteering with the community football association, she mentioned her interest in officiating. A number of people suggested that refereeing was only for men, but she persisted. Only a promise to her son — that she’d wait until his playing days were over — stalled her flag-throwing hobby. “I wanted to do some officiating then but there was some resistance, you know, the old boys mentality,” she recalled. “But somehow it got around that I wanted to referee, and a member of

the Calgary (Football Officials Association) heard about it and came up to me and handed me a rule book and said I’d start timekeeping.” A life-long gridiron fan, Madill said while she never played, she always was intensely in tune with the game. She’s worked all around the field, including as a head referee, and is involved in instructing new officials. Being one of just a handful of women officials in B.C., Madill has faced all kinds of taunts and sideline comments from fans, coaches and players. Perhaps the biggest challenge for a football official is keeping up with the pace of the game, both physically and technically. “It’s definitely an ongoing learning experience to stay ahead of all the tricks (the coaches) come up with to get around the rules.” The biggest game she’s done to date is a B.C. championship. Sweden will be another highlight. “For me to do the B.C. championship was an honour, because these are hand-picked. There is no (pay) for doing a provincial, there’s no pay for doing (the Worlds). They’ll pick up my airfare and my accommodations and I’ll be extremely happy to be on the field.”

RIVAL BOOTS: A Richmond player battles Coquitlam Metro-Ford Hotspurs’ Emily Nottingham, right, for the ball during the girls under-15 B Coastal Cup final. Richmond carted off a 2-1 victory.

Yang finishes strong for CN second Coquitlam’s Jennifer Yang put in a strong charge on the final round but finished four strokes back at the CN Future Links Pacific championship at Tsawwassen’s Beach Grove Golf Club. Despite cutting four shots off Szu-Hsuan Huang’s lead during the final day, Yang wasn’t able to overcome a six-shot deficit from the first two rounds.

She finished with a two-over par 215. In fourth place was PoCo’s Anica Yoo, with a three-round total of 221, while Jenny An, of Coquitlam, was fifth at 224. Coquitlam’s Soo Bin Kim stood sixth with a three-day score of 227. Placing in a tie for 10th was Port Moody’s Valentina Trillo, who shot 234. Ally Shin of Coquitlam finished 12th overall with a three-round score of 235.

In the victory, Darcy Cummings capped a threegoal, four-assist night with a powerplay tally to make it 7-4, followed by Jesse Rogeau’s pow-

erplay marker. Trevor Evans and Rogeau finished with two goals and two assists each. Intermediate-aged Carson Michaud turned aside 27 shots to record the victory. Against Victoria, Cummings

finished with a goal and three assists, while Keigan Scharnberg and Rogeau each scored once and set up another. The Saints’ next test comes Sunday, 5 p.m., when they host the Nanaimo Timbermen.

direct free kick that produced the victory. “In the second half we really had an edge in play but just couldn’t put it in,” parent Steve Custeau said. “We got a handball call and made the most of it. No one wanted to go to penalty (kicks).” The Fusion’s recent history with Surrey was all of the onegoal nature, but none with a happy ending until Saturday. Surrey triumphed in their league encounter, and were also successful in last year’s u-13 cup final — a loss that proved to be key motivation for this year. “That was a very difficult defeat for them, by a goal, so the coaches made sure we were ready with some quality exhibition games during the year.” Sophia Fabbro was selected the game’s MVP by the officials. The North Coquitlam United Gunners also tasted Coastal A Cup victory, as the Gunners bested Lynn Valley 3-2 for the u-16 boys crown. See the NOW’s Friday edition for more on that win. The u-13 girls Black Ice converted their shot into a B Cup triumph, but needed a shootout to achieve it before downing the Surrey Jaguars 1-0. The two finalists were locked in a scoreless duel until the final showdown. It wasn’t quite a happy ending for Coquitlam Metro-Ford Hotspurs, who were nudged 2-1 by Richmond in the u-15 girls B Cup showdown. Amy Kirby netted the lone Hotspur goal, off a terrific setup from Tiarra Edgar. “We couldn’t have asked for more from these young ladies,” coach Eric Bohne said. “Tomorrow is another day and we’re going to pick ourselves up and focus on the provincials.” In u-14 boys B Cup final, the Port Moody Selects fell just short in a 2-1 battle with West Vancouver.
