Bronze for Timko and co.

Coq. player and teammates win Olympic medal

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It wasn’t gold and it wasn’t easy but the Canadian women’s soccer team — including Coquitlam’s Brittany Timko — made its mark Thursday at the London 2012 Olympics.

Out-shot by a staggering 25-2 margin after 90 minutes of regulation play, and with France having struck both a goal post and the crossbar, Canada posted a thrilling 1-0 bronzemedal triumph on a Diana Matheson goal against the run of the play. Matheson fired the ball into a gaping net after the ball deflected off an opposition defender and on to her boot nearly two minutes into stoppage time.

The result came after Canada had dropped a heart-breaking 4-3 semifinal defeat in overtime to the U.S. in a game

marred by referee controversy.

“I’m so proud of this team,” Canadian star striker Christine Sinclair told CTV News afterwards. “We battled through exhaustion and came out on top today.” see TIMKO TIMKO,, page 37

Police seek driver in hit-and-run accident that injured cyclist

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody Police Department is searching for the driver of a white flatbed truck who struck a cyclist last

week and took off before officers arrived.

The victim, whose name was not released, is recovering with a broken leg as a result of the July 31 collision but police said they want to

talk with the driver of the truck.

The cyclist was travelling west on Clarke Street, turning north on a green light onto Moody Street, when he was struck by the vehi-

cle, police said.

Any witnesses are asked to call the Po r t M o o dy Po l i c e Department at 604-4613456.

The last week has been a dangerous time

for cyclists in the TriCities.

Last Friday, a 13-yearold boy died after being struck by a car the day before while riding his bike along Schoolhouse Street near Lucille Star

Drive. He was taken to hospital, where he died of a severe brain injury.

Earlier last week, another cyclist was struck along David Avenue between Lansdowne and Noons Creek. In that

situation police believe that the setting sun may have blinded the driver of a Honda Civic, who struck the cyclist. The victim remains in hospital in critical condition. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Breakfast tradition ending at Zellers

By Sarah Payne

IN QUOTES

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

They’ve been meeting at the Zellers restaurant every Saturday for more than a decade, a tradition that will soon come to an end when the store begins the process of shuttering to make way for Target.

The group of about a dozen, now mostly retired, first came for the breakfast — just $3.99 for toast, eggs, bacon or ham and all the coffee you can drink — stayed for the friendships and will be leaving as family.

S o m e k n ew e a ch other from curling, a few live in the same building; others happened to also be Zellers cafe regulars and were drawn in by the lively crew at the long table on the far side of the restaurant.

Nobody remembers making a plan to meet every Saturday but it just seemed to happen that way. “We usually get here at about 9 a.m., and we’re here for a good hour and a half,” chuckled Edie Burch.

“Sometimes, I drink $10 worth of coffee here.”

So well do the staff

“We usually get here at about 9 a.m., and we’re here for a good hour and a half. Sometimes, I drink $10 worth of coffee here.”

“We’ve watched their kids grow up, and others we’ve known for so long. They’re like family. That’s going to be hard.”

SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Zellers restaurant regulars, who’ve been meeting every Saturday for about a decade at the Coquitlam Centre mall store, will be sad to see the restaurant close Aug. 18. It’s the first part of Zellers to close down as the store prepares for its switch to Target next spring. From left are Chris Allman, Dan Moyer, Doreen Moyer, waitress Heather Joinsom, Sharon McKinlay, Edie Burch, April Schonewille, Nancy Schinz, Evelyn Paquette, Boris Hocaluk and Maureen Allman. know each of the regulars that by the time they sit down, their coffee — decaf or regular — or tea is already on its way.

They all sit in the same seats every

Saturday. Burch’s post is always the head of the table, where she holds court as the group’s matriarch — or mascot, considering the quirky outfits she likes to wear for their weekend break-

fast meetings.

She’s fond of costumes, wigs and face painting, and never lets a holiday go by without getting decked out; for B.C. Day, she was planning an ensemble of

blue, red and gold.

And as the friendships around the table bloomed, so too did relationships with the longtime restaurant staff.

“We come here because the staff are so

good,” said Maureen Allman. “ T h at ’s why we come here, too,” added Sharon McKinlay, sitting at a nearby booth with two off-duty waitresses. “We’re going to miss you.”

“We’ll miss you too,” said April Schonewille, a 25-year veteran of the Zellers restaurant.

Schonewille and Heather Joinsom, who has logged 12 years, wiped away tears as they talked about the group to which they’ve grown so close. “We’re going to miss the customers,” Schonewille said. “We’ve watched

their kids grow up, and others we’ve known for so long. They’re like family. That’s going to be hard.”

“Don’t get us all going,” McKinlay joked as her eyes brimmed with tears. Like many of the other regulars, M c K i n l ay s a i d t h e weekly meetings were less about the breakfast, tasty as it might be.

“It’s how they treat us,” she said. “They treat us like family.

They are the greatest bunch ever.”

The Zellers restaurant’s last day is Aug. 18, a Saturday. spayne@tricitynews.com

Tri-Cities ALS Walk Sat. in mom’s memory Siblings do their part for ‘devastating’ disease

By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

At 51 years old, Angela Keist was an active mother of two grown kids who loved getting outside for a walk every day.

But in early 2010, she felt a tingling in her leg, and she was getting progressively weaker. By the summer, she was in a wheelchair and, that Christmas, she had difficulty breathing.

I n Ja nu a r y 2 0 1 1 , Angela died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. That summer, her daughter, Vanessa Keist, organized the Tri-Cities’ first ALS Walk, an event that drew about 150

Cel 604 240 1927 604-941-3838

bigger crowd and aims to raise $15,000 for ALS research. “It’s really, really devastating. There’s no

cure and only minimally effective treatments, so we really wanted to help in any way we could,”

Keist said.

Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a rapidly progressive neuromuscular disease in which the motor neurons carrying messages to the muscles die. When the muscles fail to receive messages from the brain, they atrophy and die, leaving the person immobilized.

About 80% of people with ALS die within two to five years. It’s the most common cause of neurological death in Canada, killing two to three adult Canadians every day; about 3,000 Canadians over 18 currently live with ALS. Keist’s mom died just a couple of weeks before she graduated from BCIT as a registered nurse.

She wanted to start a walk close to her Port Moody home after seeing

how difficult it was for someone with ALS to get around.

“I recruited my brother and a couple of close friends... we worked so hard,” Keist said. “It’s like a second full-time job — it’s so much work but it’s so worth it.”

T his year’s walk promises more free family fun, including live music, face painting and a bouncy castle for the kids. The 3.5-km walk is accessible for all ages and abilities, starting at Lafarge Lake and looping around Town Centre park.

To keep the energy levels up, there will be a barbecue and refreshments, as well as silent auction and raffle prizes that include Grouse Mountain lift tickets, spa certificates, family passes for the Vancouver

Aquarium and more.

Money raised from corporate sponsors and walk participants collecting pledges goes to the ALS Society of BC and Yukon for research and support services for those living with ALS. According to the ALS Society, research in the last six months includes five global studies into new treatments, earlier detection and, possibly, a cure. In the past decade, the average lifespan of people living with ALS has extended by a full year.

• The second annual ALS Walk is Saturday, Aug. 11 at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park on Pinetree Way. Festivities start at 10 a.m. and the walk at 11 a.m.

What if you held an election & nobody ran?

So far, nobody has picked up Anmore papers

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The nomination period for the Anmore byelection has begun but — so far — nobody has jumped into the race.

None of the nomination packages that candidates are required to fill out in order to run in the election have been picked up from the village office ahead of the 10-day nomination period, which began Tuesday.

“It is honestly hard to

say what’s happening,” said Christine Milloy, the village’s chief election officer. “Is it because of the time of year? Is there a lack of interest in people wanting to run?”

If nobody comes forward and runs in the Sept. 22 vote, civic election rules stipulate that the council will have to appoint someone to the position. Failing that, the provincial government would have to step in and pick someone.

But Mayor Heather Anderson does not believe it will come to that.

She told The Tri-City News most people are not aware that they can

pick up the nomination packages prior to the beginning of the nomination period.

Anderson also noted that many people are on holidays at this time of year and it is difficult to get information to those who might be interested in running.

“It is probably one of the worst times you could have an election period,” she said. “I think the campaign period will be more concentrated in September.”

In all of her time following Anmore politics, Anderson said she could not remember a time when nobody was

nominated to run in an election.

She said she knows of several people who are still pondering a run and she would be surprised if no candidates came forward.

A byelection is required in Anmore after Coun. Tim Laidler resigned in June over council’s decision to hire Tim Harris as the village’s chief administration officer. Laidler, who was elected just seven months earlier, said at the time that he did not believe Harris was qualified for the job and said “outside sources” interfered with the decision.

It won’t happen in time for the provincial election next spring but the B.C. government is moving ahead with Premier Christy Clark’s pledge to examine online voting at the local and provincial levels.

Some municipalities have suggested modernizing elections to make voting more convenient, and reverse the recent trend to lower voter participation. Clark proposed the idea during last year’s BC Liberal leadership campaign.

Compost facility to shrink

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Chang es are coming for a proposed compost facility in Port Coquitlam.

In a recent report to the city’s smart growth c o m m i t t e e, C a s c a d e Renewable Carbon Corp. said it is planning to build a smaller processing building than previously planned.

The structure will be reduced from 2,500 sq. m to 1,000, a move that Cascade CEO David Taylor said should not affect the amount of compost the facility can process.

The final bagging and curing stage, where larger pieces of material are removed from the compost soil, will now take place at a different location, he added, making for a cleaner system.

“This is a showcase facility,” he said. “We want to keep this facility as clean and spick and span and be a showcase.”

Primary digestion of the compost material is still expected to take place on the site in giant containers.

Development of the project has been delayed, Taylor said, in large part due to some technical issues with its storm water management plan.

According to a report from the company to the

Coq. scrap program Coquitlam residents living at six multi-family complexes are testing out a city pilot program for recycling food scraps.

The three-month disposal initiative started last month at a highrise, two condo buildings, two apartment blocks and a row-house complex.

Verne Kucy, Coquitlam’s acting manager of environmental services, said the units were chosen based on their type, location and serviceability by the city’s collection contractor, Smithrite. The names of the buildings were not disclosed.

Kucy said the food waste is dumped at Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre, an organics processing facility.

Participating residents were educated on the food recycling program before it started on July 4 and were given a kitchen catcher, Bag to Earth bins and brochures.

Kucy said should the $8,500 pilot program be successful, the city may expand it to other multifamily housing complexes in Coquitlam.

The city’s green can program for single-family homes started in September 2010, allowing homeowners to mix their kitchen leftovers with grass clippings. That came after a six-month pilot program involving 500 homes in the New Horizons sub-division to see if bears would be drawn to the food/yard waste cans.

Both Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have been collecting food scraps at multi-family homes for at least two years. Region-wide, Metro Vancouver estimates close to 200,000 tonnes of food is thrown out with other household garbage each year. jwarren@tricitynews.com

city of Port Coquitlam, there is currently no storm water system the facility could tie into.

That has forced Cascade to re-design its entire p l a n u s i n g d i t ch e s, drains and, possibly,

water retention pits.

With the delays, Taylor said the company is hoping to have its storm water system completed

by N ove m b e r. T h a t should allow for a soft opening, he said, with

the full opening expected in the new year.

He added that the city of PoCo is in talks with the company about having its organic waste processed at the new facility. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Family says thanks for finding daughter ‘In remarkably good health and good spirits’

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

T h e f a m i ly o f a woman who was missing for three days near Sasamat Lake last week is thanking police, Coquitlam Search and Rescue and the public for helping bring her home.

In a letter to the Po r t M o o dy Po l i c e Department, members of Joy Zhang’s family said they are grateful for the efforts and moved by outpouring of support from the community.

“This is a very successful outcome for everyone’s efforts,” the

family said in the letter.

“Joy was checked into hospital and released in remarkably good health and good spirits. She is recovering with her family.”

They acknowledged that many Port Moody police officers helped on their own time and thanked members of the Challenger baseball team, whose extended f amily and friends combed the area looking for Zhang. The family said they also appreciated the efforts of Port Moody Victim Services.

The 20-year-old Douglas College student, who has special needs, disappeared with a friend from White Pine beach the afternoon of Aug. 2. The friend, Judy, was found several hours

later but crews were not able to locate Zhang until Sunday morning.

She was spotted about 200 m from the trail lying underneath some ferns in a location not far from where Judy was found.

Search manager Dwight Yochim said it is possible that because of her disability, Zhang did not respond when crews were calling out her name during the search.

“We may never know what she did for those four days,” Yochim told The Tri-City News on Tuesday. “I don’t think she moved from that spot.”

The 76-hour search involved more than 120 volunteer crews members from 20 different agencies. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Q WHAT WE THINK:

E

very two years, once the Olympic torch is lit, we begin to learn a little something about the human spirit. We’re blown away by what athletes can and do accomplish, often in the face of overwhelming odds. National heroes are born every day for two weeks, even if the lifespan of that public ardour is painfully short.

We’ve watched in awe as cyclist Clara Hughes — a multi-medal winner in both the Summer and Winter Games — rode to fifth spot in the time trials, only to learn afterward she’d broken her back in a fall two months earlier. Diver Alexandre Despatie returned to the board to earn a bronze in men’s synchronized diving — performing the same dive he’d been doing earlier this summer when he smashed his head on the diving board. Now that takes guts.

Those are just Canadian examples.

Forget the Real Housewives of Wherever. Never mind the pickers and the hoarders. This is reality television at its best.

O

n a recent Saturday, I saw one of my best friends. It wasn’t the typical visit of wine and movies on the couch.

Instead, we sat on her king-sized bed and talked quietly about how lucky she was.

The day before, my friend was in a multivehicle crash on Highway 1 in Abbotsford. You may have seen it on the news or read about it in the paper. At least eight vehicles were involved.

She was the one extricated from her black Hyundai Accent after it was lodged under a dump truck. Miraculously, she survived with no broken bones and was released from hospital the next day.

She did, however, receive three large lacerations to the back of head and lost four units of blood — nearly half the amount that’s in an adult human body.

I found it strange that she wasn’t given blood at the hospital after losing so much but the doc-

2012 CCNA

tors told her she was healthy enough that her body could make new blood without much of a problem.

I’m also a healthy person and I, too, can make new blood without a problem. Mind you, I’ve never had to replenish four units of blood before but I have lost one whole unit of blood before.

Twenty-five times.

You see, I’m a blood donor. Recently I donated my 25th unit of blood — and afterwards while there I drank my 25th cup of tea and ate my 25th packet of cookies (because cookies and juice just don’t go well together, it has to be tea and cookies).

I was quite proud of myself that day. Geeky as it may sound, for a long time I was looking forward to receiving the small teardrop-shaped pin that us twenty-fivers get — a simple red pin with “25” on it.

And I was pleasantly surprised to open a letter a few weeks later to find a sparkly “bronze” donor card with my name on it. I like to think of that card as something similar to a fancy platinum MasterCard that I can flash at people

TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

to show them how important I think I am.

But my 25th donation is nothing compared to many others. Imagine donating 50 or 100 times.

My dear friend and former co-worker Penny Lett told me that the next pin she’ll be getting is her 125th donation pin. Now that’s dedication.

But that’s the type of person Penny is — very caring and selfless. In fact, it was Penny who encouraged me to make my first donation about 10 years ago. I thought about it for a while, asking myself, “Why should I donate blood?”

Have I ever been a recipient of donated blood before? No. Has there ever been someone close to me who suddenly needed a blood donation? No. Was there a sudden shortage of donated blood in Canada? No. I decided to do it because I can. Simple as that.

I don’t know how many people I’ve helped by donating blood but I do know that the process (about an hour to an hour and a half of answering questions, being tested and waiting) is not that painful. Heck, even the needle isn’t that bad.

And to make it more pleasant, every single person who is there to take your blood, ask you questions and walk with you to the cookie station will thank you for coming in that day.

Guaranteed.

I know many people who can’t donate blood for various reasons — they’ve lived in or visited foreign countries that are on the no-go list; they have medical issues; or (sad and discriminatory as it may be) they’re a homosexual male.

Someone I know won’t donate specifically because of the latter reason. I respect her choice, and I don’t agree with that restriction

by Canadian Blood Services either, but I still donate, and I do it for several reasons.

I donate because I know there is always a need for blood. I donate because I know my blood will be used, never wasted. I donate blood because I want to.

But to me, the number one reason you should donate blood is that you can.

The second reason is for the free cookies.

FACE TO FACE: Should Christy Clark have marched in Vancouver Pride Parade?

Premier is not homophobic P

remier Christy Clark is under fire for not participating in last weekend’s Pride Parade in downtown Vancouver.

The premier did attend but, unlike her NDP counterpart, she didn’t march as part of the procession. And, according to the media, a lot of the public and my colleague opposite, that’s somehow a problem.

What I would like to know is when did become a requirement for politicians to participate in Pride Week. And why does not participating automatically come with allegations of being homophobic or against gay rights?

If the premier doesn’t attend an event at the Italian Cultural Centre, does that mean she doesn’t like Italians?

There are a lot of reasons Premier Clark might not have participated.

Perhaps it doesn’t fit in her schedule — I hear the job of premier is pretty time consuming.

Maybe she doesn’t want to be seen participating in a non-family friendly event. (Call me a prude but I don’t think a parade that includes scantily dressed people making out with each other — whatever their sexual orientation — is considered family friendly.)

ANDY RADIA

Or, like my colleague opposite suggests, maybe Clark was just playing to her political base.

And if she was, so what? That’s what politicians do.

But to imply, as some people have, that Clark is a homophobe or that she won’t stand up for gay rights is simply ridiculous.

It’s important to remember that Clark doesn’t have a history of insensitivity toward gay issues.

She was the one who took the initiative to bring Pink Shirt Day to British Columbia when she was a talk show host with CKNW. Now, every year in February, thousands of school kids, teachers and members of the general public wear the colour pink to stand in solidarity against bullying, an issue that greatly impacts the LGBT community.

Moreover, Clark isn’t the first politician not to attend the annual event. Her predecessor Gordon Campbell never attended; Mayor Rob Ford in Toronto doesn’t participate in his city’s annual parade; and quite frankly, I can’t even imagine Prime Minister Stephen Harper attending one.

Just as Campbell’s and Harper’s lack of attendance never translated into a retraction of gay rights, neither will Premier Clark’s.

JIM NELSON

Clark played to political base remier Christy Clark should have marched in Vancouver’s Pride Parade last Sunday.

She should have said, “Damn the political torpedoes” and walked shoulder to shoulder with Simi Sara of CKNW, Canuck Manny Malhotra and civic, provincial and federal politicians of all stripes, who marched in active, uncompromising support of the LGBT community.

Instead, she chose strategy.

It’s true that as a Canadian of Swedish descent, I couldn’t accuse a premier of not supporting Swedes every time she didn’t pop over to the Swedish Hall and nibble lutefisk at mid-summer’s fest.

But passing on the Pride Parade is different from missing Swedish festivals, Sikh Vaisakhi functions or Greek days.

Unlike the LGBT community, Swedes aren’t a prime object of the kind of bullying Ms. Clark spent three years rabidly campaigning against as a CKNW talk show host.

To address the bullying of LGBT youth, we need to move from tolerance of to solidarity with the LGBT community. Ms. Clark knows this and she should have marched. Because this time, her participation as premier would have been an active statement of

political solidarity rather than the hobbyhorse of a talk show host.

I know, I know: A premier can’t be expected to go to everything.

And, yes, I know that Premier Clark has marched in the Pride Parade before, in her incarnation as an anti-bullying broadcaster.

But it is also fair to note that her enthusiasm for marching has waned since she rekindled her political career in West Point Grey.

West Point Grey: 82% Caucasian; average income, $142,000; 86% twoparent homes; 16 big, very active churches. There’s nothing wrong with that but it’s not exactly a rainbow demographic.

And so it seems Premier Clark has chosen to hedge her bets with her electorate by not marching in this year’s Pride Parade (and by doubling down by recently citing the Bible as her decision-making compass).

As anti-bully as she has professed to be, no campaign handler should have been able to keep Christy Clark from marching in the Pride Parade.

Premier Clark should have ignored political strategy and marched right out front, proudly giving out pink shirts and leading chants of “Bullying stops here!”

It would have been the right

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Cost vs. value in pipeline debate The Editor, Re. “Desperate and unreasonable” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Aug. 3).

I have just read the arguments about B.C. Premier Christy Clark’s strategy on the pipeline project and find the comments by Face to Face columnist Andy Radia both simplistic and cliché.

I am on holiday from Spain, where there have been similar discussions on the benefits and risks associated with the development of oil fields in particular.

Premier Clark’s stance is not unreasonable, especially considering the risk to the environment of British Columbia and the possible — and, some would say, inevitable — results of a major oil spill.

It is obvious all negotiations involve balancing gain against risk but to compare the damage caused by an oil spill and the resulting devasta-

tion to the environment against the building of a railway is not comparable. It illustrates that Mr. Radia seems to know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

By listing the other premiers who disagree with Premier Clark does not mean they are right. Were the majority right when they said the sun revolved around the Earth?

Mr. Radia then extends the taxation issues to other situations and industries that are only comparable in a world where you view issues in a simplistic way. Mr. Radia may have to really think about “Beautiful British Columbia” when in the future he drives to the coast only to find oilsoaked beaches and dead wildlife. Then he can drive home and drink his polluted water.

Value what you have you may not have it the future.

What a load of garbage can be found on streets The Editor, Occasionally, to add purpose to my walk through our neighbourhood, I take with me tools to pick up garbage dropped on the street.

I did that again this morning and the attached photo (at left) shows the results of four weeks of four blocks of “droppings” on residential streets leading to Como Lake in Coquitlam.

The number of cigarette butts and associated items clearly exceeds the total of all other items dropped but the persons who discarded those butts may take comfort in the fact that the number of geese droppings around Como Lake was possibly even higher. They, too, presumably do not consider their actions as being offensive.

Coquitlam l man survives after being struck by lightning bolt A Coquitlam man is one of two people to survive being struck by lightning after a storm rolled through the Lower Mainland Tuesday night.

Ar man Shafazand escaped unscathed when, while checking the roof of his family’s backyard rabbit hutch, he was hit by a bolt of electricity.

“For a split second, I could see all the light around my hand and even right through my left arm,” he told CTV News on Wednesday.

Fearing that Shafazand had been killed, his family immediately rushed outside, where he was screaming in pain.

They called 911 and rushed him to hospital but, after several

hours and numerous tests, he was released.

He said he felt numb but did not have a mark on him.

Another man, 38-year-old Keith Dunning of south Surrey, was struck during the storm, which cut power to roughly 15,000 homes in the Lower Mainland.

He was taken to hospital and also appears to be in fair health, after being struck while standing under some pine trees in his b a ck ya rd T u e s d ay night.

Lightning knocked out power in the Austin Heights area of Coquitlam, leaving 1,352 homes between Austin Avenue, Dogwood Street, North Ro a d a n d Tow n l e y Street without electricity.

Another 28 homes lost power in the 3000bl o ck o f L o u g h e e d H i g h w ay w h i l e 1 0 homes were without

Coq. residents unhappy with changes to tower plan

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Residents of a Coquitlam neighbourhood who battled to stop three highrises from being built in their area say they’re not happy with the developer’s lastminute plans.

Last week, city council allowed Polygon Homes to proceed with a new option presented to Windsor Gate homeowners last month that would eliminate its proposal for a 37-storey tower but boost two 24-storey buildings by one storey each.

Resident Michael Picard, who lobbied a g ainst Polygon’s changes to the Windsor Gate development agreement at a May public hearing, told The TriCity News the latest option doesn’t sit well with many Windsor Gate homeowners. “There are some people who are against anything being built that’s contrary to the original plan,� he said Thursday, “but there are also others who are very happy the 37-storey tower won’t happen at all now.�

Picard said he’ll continue to push Polygon for further density reductions prior to city council making its final decision on the amended agreement this fall.

Besides the elimination of the 37-storey tower, the new option would also mean a financial loss to the city: rather than $1.5 million, Polygon would contribute half of that total — $750,000 — for the Lincoln Station along the upcoming Evergreen Line and for the second phase of the Glen Park redevelopment. As well, Option 4 wouldn’t include an additional indoor amenity space due to the decrease in units; however, Polygon plans to spend $55,000 for more security at the current Nakoma Club lounge.

Players, to conduct a public consultation with its neighbours about the plan, though Mayor Richard Stewart noted the south industrial area is mostly made up of small businesses, not residences.

According to its proposal, Famous Players wants to serve liquor to adults at its venue, located at 170 Schoolhouse St., in its VIP restaurant/lounge as well as in its adjoining cinemas, seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. It also wants to serve alcohol to VIP patrons in their theatre seats 30 minutes before the commercials begin.Should the liquorprimary licence application be successful, Famous Players plans to cancel its existing foodprimary licence for the VIP lounge. In April, B.C.’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch allowed movie and liveevent theatres to serve alcohol in adult-only locations.

Movie-goers at Coquitlam’s SilverCity theatre may soon be able to buy an alcoholic drink in the VIP lounge and take it into one of five screening rooms.

BCGEU raise offer withdrawn

Looking for a Dentist?

Province has followed through with threat

Dr. Alex Galo welcomes Dr. Mehrzad Hakimi to his practice.

By Tom Fletcher

OFFICE NOW OPEN:

BLACK PRESS

After targeting provincial ministry offices with their second one-day strike, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union says the provincial government has followed through on its threat to withdraw its offered wage increase.

BCGEU negotiators had rejected a raise of 2% this year and 1.5% next year when it was presented in late June.

Citing a two-year wage freeze leading up to this year’s negotiations, the union wants 3.5% this year and a raise equivalent to the cost of living increase for 2013.

The latest one-day strike created a fourday long weekend for 180 employees in provincial ministry offices Tuesday. BCGEU members refused to work at three forests ministry offices, with 40 staff in Surrey, 50 in Campbell River and 60 combined at transportation and forest ministry offices in 100 Mile House.

Union officials have not indicated when their next strike action will be. The first was July 3 at liquor distribution warehouses in Kamloops, Vancouver and Victoria.

After the first walkout, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the wage offer could be withdrawn if strikes continued.

Last week Walker led a rally in Vancouver to publicize the union’s proposal to expand its deputy sheriff services to include traffic enforcement, raising extra fine revenue that could be used for pay raises. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Pipeline won’t be imposed, Harper says

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed.

“I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are

m a d e through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists HARPER into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said.

“I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.”

Harper told report-

ers he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are private. It’s his first public comment since a dispute erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues.

“I’m not going to get into an argument or discussion about how we divide hypothetical revenues,” Harper said.

He did emphasize that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up new markets in Asia.

The federal government

is planning “huge investments” to improve environmental protection for shipping resource material, but it won’t favour any individual project, he said.

Kinder Morgan hopes

to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands.

But the company has not yet formally applied for

federal environmental assessment.

Clark initially said her government would wait until the federal assessment of Enbridge is concluded in 2013 before deciding whether to sup-

port it. Then in late July, the B.C. government presented a list of five preconditions, including a positive recommendation from the federal review. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Play it safe on the water, says squad Port Moody Power and Sail Squadron, through which hundreds of boaters have been taught the rules of the waterways, passes on the following safety information from Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons: Recreational aquatic accidents account for more than 1,200 deaths annually in Canada — more than a number of fatalities associated with air disasters, commercial shipping tragedies and rail disasters combined.

Highest at risk are males — accounting for 85% of the total. In fact, in the 15- to 49-year-old age group, nine out of 10 drowning victims are male.

A third of drownings involve power boats, usually small craft under 18 feet in length with flat or round bottom and, tragically, more than 50% of all boating fatalities involve alcohol.

Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons’ urges boaters to take a boating course and offers the following safety advice: • Wear your lifejacket or PFD: Personal flotation devices are stylish, comfortable and practical, and are available for all ages and various aquatic activities. Remember, when boating, PFDs have to be Department of Transport-approved in orange, yellow or red.

• Think before you drink: Too much alcohol impairs your abil-

• Don’t overload: Do not load a boat beyond its capacity. The capacity plate is on every small boat and was put there by the manufacturer for your safety. If your boat looks overloaded, it probably is.

SPCA’s Paws for a Cause fundraiser runs Sept. 9.

Paws for a Cause set for Sept. 9 Registration is open for a big charity event next month for animal lovers.

You can sign up now for the 2012 Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk and, according to an SPCA press release, “become a pawesome supporter” of the group.

Animal lovers across the province are gearing up for the SPCA’s signature event, being held Sept. 9 in 35 communities throughout British Columbia, including Coquitlam.

“We are so grateful to all our supporters... Paws for a Cause is our biggest fundraising event of the year and our branches are reliant on the lifesaving funds our participants raise,” said Farrah Rooney, manager of fundraising events for BC SPCA, which this year hopes to raise $1 million for B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. “Participating in Paws for a Cause is a fun way to make a difference in your community.

Our events are a true celebration of animals and feature all kinds of activities for the whole family.”

Those interested in getting involved in the Paws for a Cause may join as an individual, as a group or as a corporate team. Registrants are all eligible for local and provincial prizes, and participants who raise $500 in June will receive a free SPCA hoodie.

The Coquitlam walk starts at noon on Sunday, Sept. 9 at Lafarge Lake, in Town Centre Park.

Prospective participants should visit spca. bc.ca/walk for information on sponsorship opportunities and fundraising ideas, as well as pledge kits, posters and volunteer opportunities.

The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded primarily by donations. Its mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of animals through a wide range of services, including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/ neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.

Want a pipeline in your neighbourhood?

Local benefits vs. local risks

W

hile there has been much news coverage and public opposition regarding the Enbridge pipeline in northern B.C., the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline from Alberta to B.C. through Coquitlam into Burnaby has so far garnered less attention.

Nonetheless, I am just as concerned about the proposed “twinning� of this 1m156 km pipeline as the new one requested across northern B.C. First, does the increased extraction of oil from the tar sands make any sense, especially if it is simply to be sold for private profit in other countries?

Without a doubt, we are well on the way towards a warmer world and all the ill effects that will bring to us and future generations.

These include more extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, forest fires and acidification of the oceans which could so fundamentally alter sea ecology that our northern waters may no longer support salmon.

To propose pumping increasing amounts of carbon dioxide into

the atmosphere for private profit is shortsighted, selfish and stupid. We need to find ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Governments at all levels should be doing whatever they can to support a transition to carbon-free or carbonreduced fuels and improving public transit.

The original 24-inch Trans Mountain pipeline, now owned by Kinder Morgan, was built in 1953 to transport oil from Alberta for use in B.C. and Washington as well as for shipping to California. While this pipeline has carried mostly conventional crude oil to local refineries, in recent years it has also carried refined products used in the Lower Mainland as well as some diluted bitumen derived from the tar sands. Thus it could be argued, at least, that this pipeline has served local needs.

But despite being built to high standards, there have been nine pipeline leaks since 2002 with losses of 4,800 barrels of oil. The largest spill took place in Burnaby in 2007 when an excavator punctured the line due to inaccurate information and a failure to follow National Energy Board regulations. Slightly smaller spills occurred in Sumas in 2005 and at the Burnaby terminal in 2009. see GOLDS GOLDS,, page 24

Golds: Diluted bitumen dangerous continued from page 23

Kinder Morgan is proposing to â&#x20AC;&#x153;twinâ&#x20AC;? this pipeline with a new 36inch pipeline that will increase capacity over threefold. It expects new contracts will result in an initial 2.5-fold increase in the movement of material through these pipelines.

What is especially worrisome is the apparent plan for this increased capacity to be for mainly the movement of diluted bitumen derived from the tar sands. Unlike conventional crude oil from traditional oil wells, this bitumen is so viscous, it must be diluted to move it through a pipeline.

The chemicals used for dilution include a number of volatile carcinogens such as benzene, toluene and xylene as well as toxic heavy metals. If a pipeline carrying diluted bitumen ruptured in Coquitlam, you could expect whole neighbourhoods to be evacuated to avoid exposure to these harmful chemicals.

Because diluted bitumen is so thick, it requires high pressure

Cleanup after the 2007 oil spill in Burnaby. as well as temperatures of 60 C to move it through pipelines. It also contains sand from the tar sands, so it is highly abrasive on the internal surface of the pipeline.

Other components of diluted bitumen make it even more corrosive.

In fact, diluted bitumen is up to 20 times more acidic, up to 70 times thicker and with a five to 10 times higher sulphur content than conventional crude oil. It is really nasty stuff. Despite the highly corrosive nature of diluted bitumen, the National Energy Board does not distinguish between conventional crude and diluted bitumen when setting minimum standards for pipeline construction.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide care, respect and dignity in your time me of need.â&#x20AC;?

Keith Louw, Funeral Director ector

Experience with the Kalamazoo spill in Michigan suggests spills of diluted bitumen are much more difficult and expensive to clean up than those of conventional crude. Certainly, it is not the type of material most people would want to be forced at high pressures through pipelines anywhere close to their home.

Kinder Morgan will require a right-of-way of up to 30 m wide.

Expectations are the new pipeline will mostly, but not entirely, follow the route of the old one. Once the National Energy Board approves the corridor for the new pipeline, Kinder Morgan would apparently have the right to expropriate land for construction.

In urban areas, the subsurface beneath our roads is already crowded with conduits carrying many critical services, including drinking water, sewage, communication lines, natural gas and, in some cases, electricity. Is it safe to add a large pipeline carrying corrosive and hazardous chemicals to this mix?

Recent reports indicate the southern coast of B.C. is at significantly greater risk for a major earthquake than previously thought. Do we really want this new pipeline of diluted bitumen threading through our neighbourhoods and school yards?

Need arts support?

Are you a young, emerging artist looking for encouragement and financial support?

Port Moody Arts Centre is taking applications for the 2013 Kwi Am Choi Scholarship to enable young artists to exhibit and promote their work at the arts centre. Application deadline is Sept. 28.

The scholarship is the result of a donation from the family of artist Kwi Am Choi to the Port Moody Arts Centre Society (PMACS) and a partnership between PMACS and the Port Moody Foundation; together they set up the annual Kwi Am Choi Scholarship Fund. Its objectives are to expand the experiences of student artists and to enable these artists to better promote their work. The amount of the scholarship for 2013 will be approximately $500.

Young artists â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ages 15 to 30 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can find the scholarship criteria by going to www. portmoodyarts.ca and clicking on Kwi Am Choi Scholarship 2013. Only solo artists, not groups, may apply for this award. The successful applicant will be notified in October.

In consultation with PMACS, the money may be used to set up an art exhibition, including framing, gallery fees, reception and advertising costs, etc.

A phone scam that ranked number one last year for the Better Business Bureau of Mainland BC (BBB) is back in B.C. again.

Callers claim that the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer is compromised and they are requesting access in an attempt to bilk consumers out of dollars while at the same time giving them access to personal data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The virus-fixing scam was particularly rampant across Canada last year and we are having similar reports again,â&#x20AC;? Danielle Primrose, BBB president and CEO said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scammers are trying to capitalize on the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fear that their computer has been compromised.â&#x20AC;?

Consumers who have contacted BBB to report their experience say that the scam always starts the same way: the phone rings at their home, and the caller asks for the householder, quoting their name and address before stating that there â&#x20AC;&#x153;was a report from your internet service provider of serious virus problems from your computer.â&#x20AC;?

In order to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixâ&#x20AC;? it, the computer owner is directed to a website and told to download a program that hands over remote access to the computer. And then comes time to pay a fee for a subscription to this preventative service.

The catch: There was never anything wrong with the computer and the owner has given a stranger access to every piece of data on their computer.

The company that is currently doing cold calls appears to be going under the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swap PC Care,â&#x20AC;? which appears to be based in India according to its website. BBB attempted to contact the company whose agent confirmed that they are calling Canadians, but refused to provide any further information.

BBB advises the public that these phoney phone calls are common, and people should: â&#x20AC;˘ Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism. Check with the organization directly

if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a victim.

Consumers should report any fraudulent activity to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or www. antifraudcentre.ca.

Van ncou uverr works with developers to create Downtown South

ing the Granville Loops The City of Vancouver has been working with developers such as Cressey Development to re-imagine the area around the Granville Street onramps into a thriving neighbourhood they call Downtown South. With plans for new roadways, biking and walking access to the Stanley Park SeaWall and False Creek waterfront and plenty of commercial space, the community will be the perfect place to purchase a home.

“It’s all that Downtown South has to offer,” says Cressey Development Manager David Evans. “There’s entertainment, shopping, the beach, the Seawall ... It provides access to all the amenities.”

Cressey is proud to be a part of the area with Maddox, a 32-storey condominium tower located on Howe and Drake streets.

The pedestrian-friendly aspect of the community is particularly important, Evans says.

“One of its biggest strengths is access,” he says. With Granville Island, Yaletown and Robson Street within easy reach, buyers who purchase in the area will find everything they could possibly imagine close by.

Future projects include a grocery store, the opportunity for vendors such as food carts and sidewalk extensions for outdoor cafes and restaurant patios.

evening at home, no matter what the weather is doing outside. The 10-foot ceilings in some homes add to the considerable sense of space that is inherent in the living areas, which offer plenty of room for entertaining.

Lakewood prides itself on quality workmanship and attention to detail, and this is certainly apparent at One92.

There will be 69 homes in the project, ranging from 474 to 1,283 square feet.

“There’s something for everybody,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “The response has been fantastic.”

With features like nine or 10-foot ceilings (depending on where in the building your home is), a spacious walk-in shower in the ensuite and lush landscaping outside, Salix is a truly beautiful development. Many of the homes have views of Mount Baker or the surrounding Clayton Heights area.

Building on the popularity of Woodbridge’s Willow Grand development, “we were able to listen to purchasers’ needs and wants,” says Carlsen. “It genuinely makes me excited that we covered a lot of the bases that purchasers were looking for.”

‘Something for everybody’

No trouble finding g a home in Clayton Heights

by Kerry Vital

Clayton Heights is a rapidly growing community on the border of Surrey and Langley. Due to its proximity to both cities as well as Cloverdale, it is perfectly situated to take advantage of every amenity that the Lower Mainland has to offer. Less than an hour from the Vancouver International Airport and less than half an hour from the U.S. border, Clayton Heights offers education, recreation, shopping and dining all within a few minutes.

Woodbridge Homes’ La Rue La Rue is an intimate community of 49 two- to four-bedroom townhomes.

With beautiful details like nine-foot ceilings on the main floor and stainlesssteel appliances, there is much to love at La Rue. With its tagline of “the street you want to live on”, La Rue is proving very popular with people of all demographics.

“La Rue offers so many things,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “I love this product.”

The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with ceramic tile backsplashes and stone countertops that are perfectly complemented by the chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and entrances.

Conveniently located close to several

schools, parks and recreation, Castro says that La Rue is great for young families.

“Clayton offers so many things for families,” she says, adding “these are a different style of home. You’re close to everything, but you’re also quiet and away from all the busy-ness.”

Lakewood’s One92 Lakewood has brought a collection of carriage homes, condominiums and townhomes to Clayton Heights, in a variety of floorplans. With 72 homes in the project, oversized windows, sleek laminate flooring and amazing open-plan kitchens are just some of the amazing features. A designer tile backsplash is complemented by the under-cabinet lighting and contemporary shaker-style cabinetry and gorgeous quartz countertops.

A special feature of the homes is the electric fireplace with mood-adjustable accent lighting. It is perfect for curling up with a book or enjoying a romantic

Woodbridge Homes’ Salix Woodbridge continues with its mastery of the Clayton Heights area with Salix, a collection of one-, twoand three-bedroom condominiums.

The open-plan layouts and three interior schemes (Craftsman Traditional, Casual Contemporary and Modern Chic) available at Salix make for a truly stunning mix of residences.

“

Clayton offers so many things for families,” says La Rue sales manager Andrea Castro.

New West cast-off Negrin paces A’s in big six-goal win over Shamrocks

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

B

eating the Victoria Shamrocks is one thing. Having a New Westminster Salmonbellies’ cast-off help do it for the Coquitlam Adanacs is simply a pleasant bonus.

Unheralded rookie Mark Negrin matched team-leading scorer Dane Dobbie with four goals and one assist each to rally the A’s –– long-time heated rivals of the ’Bellies –– to an emphatic 13-7 victory Wednesday over the Shamrocks at Poirier Sports Complex.

The win put the A’s up two games in their best-of-seven Wester n Lacrosse Association semifinal series, with Game 3 slated for Victoria tonight (Friday). Game 4 is set for Sunday back at Poirier, 7:45 p.m.

Negrin joined the A’s after being released by the Senior ‘A’ ’Bellies and then toiling under Ivan Tuura

with New West’s Senior ‘B’ squad. A Junior ‘A’ Salmonbellie grad, Negrin said he was just happy to get the opportunity to play with Coquitlam in the Senior ‘A’ ranks.

“I like being an Adanac,” Negrin told The Tri-City News. “I know a lot of guys on the team so it was a good opportunity for me.”

Negrin said toiling alongside the likes of Dobbie and Jason Jones, who dished out three assists Wednesday, makes it much easier for him to capitalize on his scoring chances.

“Jonesy’s good at passing the ball and everyone’s always distracted by Dob’s, so that gives me the space and chances to score,” shrugged the modest Negrin, who managed 14 points, including six goals, in nine outings with the A’s during the regular season before helping to fill the void left the last two games by suspended scoring star Daryl Veltman, whose due back in the line-up tonight.

“It’s those other guys that are the reason why I’m scoring.”

A’s head coach Bob Salt guided the Sr. ‘A’ Salmonbellies for seven years prior to joining the A’s last year and MARK NEGRIN said he’s surprised a s a n y b o dy by Negrin’s performance since coming to Coquitlam.

“I didn’t know him personally in New West but I’d heard of him,” Salt said. “He had a rap that he’s kind of soft but from what I can see he wants to play, and can. He fits in really well with the rest of our young guys.”

The A’s led 5-3 and 9-5 at the intermissions in the chippy affair, which featured 59 penalty minutes, including 35 to Victoria.

Racking up 13 goals while hold-

ing a talent-laden team like Victoria to seven is something you don’t see every day, Salt said.

“Our players are the ones doing it,” he said. “I think we’re just doing the right things right now and they [Shamrocks] haven’t figured it out.

We’re containing them and not allowing them to play their transition game, which they’re pretty good at usually.

“You can’t give them life, and the way you do that is by not playing well yourselves.”

After Negrin and Dobbie, other A’s goal-getters were Travis Cornwall, with two, Kevin Olson, Daniel McQuade and Ryan Johnson. Nick Rose made 31 stops in the Coquitlam cage.

In the other semifinal series, the defending WLA-champion Langley Thunder had a chance to sweep their series last night (Thursday) with a win versus the Lakers in Burnaby.

A reserve player during the Olympics, the 26-year-old Timko was brought in by head coach John Herdman in the 77th minute to replace high-scoring forward Melissa Tancredi and was on the pitch for the winning marker.

T h e bronze medal victory m a rke d the first t i m e Canada has won TIMKO a medal in a traditional team sport since 1936, when its men’s basketball team captured silver in Berlin.

It was also sweet revenge for the Canadian women, who were ousted from the 2011 World Cup in Germany after being blitzed 4-0 by France.

A U n ive r s i t y o f Nebraska grad, Timko was one of five B.C. residents on the Canadian unit, including Burnaby’s Sinclair.

The forward-midfielder entered the London Olympics having played in 111 inter national games for Canada, including the 2008 Beijing Games. She has also played five seasons with Vancouver Whitecaps FC W-League squad.

NYHAUG OUT

Coquitlam BMX cyclist Tory Nyhaug was bounced from the London Olympics in the event’s quarter-finals Thursday when he won the fifth and final run of his Heat 2 grouping but missed advancing to the semis by — excruciatingly — a single point.

“I won the last lap, I’m really proud of myself,” said the 20-year-old Nyhaug, who suffered his second ruptured spleen in less than two years in May but still, remarkably, qualified for the Olympics. “I fought the whole day and it just didn’t work out.” lpruner@tricitynews.com

Jr. A’s shake Delta

TC gals grab lax nats glory Fittingly, they did it on the B.C. Day long weekend.

Team BC, featuring a large contingent of girls from the Tri-Cities, captured gold in both the Midget and Bantam divisions at the Canadian national female box lacrosse championships July 28 to Aug. 2 in Victoria.

It marked the first time a B.C. team has captured a female box lacrosse crown.

Both finals featured Team BC battling Ontario, with the westerners prevailing 4-2 in the Midget title tilt and 4-3 in the Bantam championship.

Players from PoCo on the winning Midget unit were Carlie Robinson, Laticia Kuppan, Billy McLaughlin, Kalely McMurtry and Nikita Berg, while Coquitlam players included Harlowe Steele and Samantha Thomson. The squad was coached by former WLA Coquitlam Adanacs’ player Pat Coyle.

In Bantam, PoCo players were Brianna Stroup, Elexa Pakozdy, Adele Berg, Alex Antignani, with Coquitlam represented by Mieke Stobbart and Bianca Santucci. The squad was coached by another ex-Adanac playing great, Dan Stroup.

2 one-goal wins

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Before the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs punch their tickets to Whitby, Ont., they have to squeeze past Delta first.

That’s exactly what the Jr. A’s have done the last two games, trimming the host Islanders 7-6 Wednesday at Sungod Arena after edging them 8-7 in overtime Monday at Poirier Sports Complex to go up 3-1 in the best-of-seven B.C. Junior ‘A’ lacrosse league playoff final.

The Jr. A’s had a chance to wrap up the series last night (Thursday) back at Poirier and move on to their fourth straight Minto Cup national championship tournament, hosted this year by the defending-champion Whitby Warriors.

“We haven’t won anything yet,” cautioned Jr. A’s head coach Neil Dinsdale, heading into Game 5. “There are guys on the other end of the floor who may be playing their last junior game, or maybe even their last lacrosse game ever. They’re going to come out ready to play and we have to do the same.”

After leading Wednesday 3-0 after the first period and 4-1 early in the second, the Jr. A’s watched as the Islanders clawed back in it with the game’s next four goals to take a 5-4 lead 1:15 into the third.

After Coquitlam’s Ben McIntosh and Delta’s Eli McLaughlin swapped goals, the Jr. A’s evened the count 6-6 on Vincent R i c c i ’s p owe r p l ay marker at the 12:36 mark. Sixty-five seconds later and with fewer than seven minutes remaining, Wesley Berg bagged what proved to be the winning tally.

“I think experience is a big part of it,” said Dinsdale, whose Jr. A’s are the three-time defending B.C. playoff champs. “They’ve played at this level a long time. They’ve been here a lot and know what to do in these situations.”

Robert Church zipped in two goals to pace the Jr. A’s, whose other marksmen were Berg, Ricci, Ben McIntosh, A n dy Tay l o r a n d Challen Rogers. Reid Reinholdt supplied four assists for the victors.

On Monday, Church’s third goal of the game four minutes into overtime boosted the Jr. A’s to another one-goal win.
