Heritage home burns Monday fire may have been set, says fire chief By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A heritage building in Maillardville that developers planned to restore suffered extensive damage after fire ripped through the structure Monday night.

The building was boarded up but Coquitlam Fire Chief Tony Delmonico said it was no secret that homeless and young people had occupied the structure since a similar fire at the same location last year. “With those older buildings, you get transient people, you get kids in there,” he said. “I am not sure the fencing was

Charges h recommended against speedy d PoCo biker Ducati followed at 200 km/h A Port Coquitlam man is facing charges after leading police on a two-hour motorcycle chase across the Lower

Mainland last Thursday. The incident began shortly after 5:30 p.m. Aug. 9 when a motorcycle was spotted by RCMP’s Air One helicopter being driven dangerously across the Pitt River Bridge.

Police maintained visual contact with the bike, which was travelling at speeds in excess of 150 km/h on Lougheed Highway and in excess of 200 km/h on Highway 1. RCMP officers made

several attempts to stop the motorcycle but the rider was able to evade the police, leading them through Coquitlam, B u r n a b y, New Westminster, Richmond and Vancouver. By around 7 p.m.,

the motorcycle was observed pulling into the underground parking lot at Metrotown. Police cruisers moved into the area and were able to locate the driver as he attempted to flee the scene in an SUV being

driven by a woman. The SUV was pulled over by Vancouver police a short time later. Police are recommending charges of dangerous driving and criminal flight. The name of the suspect is

being withheld pending the swearing of charges against him. The driver of the SUV is not facing charges and the Burnaby RCMP traffic section is continuing to investigate. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

PoCo car show summer’s big event Thousands will flood downtown Port Coquitlam By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

When Ken Dosen came into possession of a 1938 two-door Chevy Coupe, the car was basically a shell and a frame. “It was a complete, g ro u n d - u p re s t o r a tion,” he said. “It went right down to the drive train.” After all the work he put in to get it running, Dosen can be forgiven for wanting to show off the vehicle. “Part of the fun... is keeping it looking good,” he said. “When you spend that many years building it, there is a certain amount of pride.” This weekend, he will join 550 other car enthusiasts when he displays his orange hot rod at the Downtown Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association Car Show, the Tri-Cities’ biggest one-day event and expected to draw tens of thousands of people to PoCo. This year’s car show will have several new features, especially for kids, including a rock climbing wall, a mini golf course and a face painting station. There will also be performances from a Blues Brothers tribute band and an Elvis impersonator is also expected to make an appearance. Dean Washington, one of the organizers of the show, said there is more to the car show than just hot rods and vintage vehicles. “The cars are what got it started but now it

There is a lot more to do. There is something for everybody.” There will also be the usual compliment of vintage vehicles. More than 500 classic cars are expected to be part of the show, including about 100 Mustangs, which will be set up along Donald Street. This year’s event takes place Sunday, Aug. 19, and starts with a pancake breakfast at the Elks Hall at Leigh Square at 7:30 a.m.

Elvis will hit the stage at 10:30 a.m. to get the car show underway and band Night Shift will close out the event with a concert between 4:45 and 6 p.m. Part of the proceeds from the event will go to the Children’s Wish Foundation. For more information, go to the PoCo Business Improvement Association website at www.pocobia. com or check out the event’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ PoCoCarShow.

Plates through B.C. history Classic cars will not be the only thing on display this weekend. The Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society will host a display of vintage licence plates at the site its future museum in the former Ten Thousand Villages building (2253 Leigh Sq.). The collection (see photo at left) belongs to Jonathan McKillop and features hundreds of plates from throughout B.C.’s history. Steve Smith, a director with the heritage society, said the display will give car show enthusiasts a chance to learn more about automobile history while cooling off in the air conditioned building. The plates will be on display for the duration of the car show. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

“It kept us pretty busy,” he said. Firefighters believe the blaze started in the back of the home on the lower floor. By the time crews arrived, flames were punching through the roof of the structure. The damage was extensive and Delmonico said any efforts to restore the building would have to be re-evaluated. “It was a heritage building,” he said. “You hate to see the loss of those buildings, especially down in Maillardville.” Because all electrical service was cut to the property, Delmonico believes the fire may have been deliberately set. The Coquitlam RCMP is also investigating. It’s the second time fire has broken out in the building. Emergency officials were called out to the structure last year to respond to another suspicious fire. In the spring of 2011, architect Matthew Cheng told Coquitlam’s land use committee that Guang Xin Development

Missing girl found over the weekend A 12-year-old girl who went missing last week has been located safe and sound, according to the Coquitlam RCMP. On Friday, police were asking the public’s assistance in locating Fhionna McCormik, a young girl who has a history of going missing from her home. Police said they did not believe the young girl was in any immediate harm but sought to locate her as soon as possible. On Saturday, McCormik was found and police thanked the public for their assistance. gmckenna@tricitynews.com FUTURE UTURE SHOP SH – Correction Notice Notice Please be advised that on page 26 of the August 10 flyer, the capacities of two Haier washers and one Haier dryer were incorrectly advertised.

An empty house in Maillardville suffered extensive fire damage Monday night. The building was to be renovated by a developer planning to build apartments in the area. It is not known if the house can be saved. Ltd. owned the properties across from Place des Arts. The developer was planning to restore the structure and build 74 multi-family FrenchCanadian-style apartments in three- and four-

storey buildings around the heritage house. The building first appears in government land assessment documents in 1913, when the structure was valued at $350. The heritage home

was originally a mushroom barn on Begin Street owned by Tom Allard. The next owner, Tom Filiatrault, a pipefitter at Fraser Mills and a Coquitlam alderman, moved it to its present location at

1123 Brunette Ave. and turned it into a fourplex with a barbershop. According to the inventory records, it was called the Red House because of its “boxcar red” colour. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

By Sarah Payne A large fight outside a Coquitlam apartment building ended with three young men being stabbed, including one who was trying to break up the fight. Coquitlam RCMP were called to the building in the 400-block of Westview Street, near North Road, shortly before midnight Friday. At the time, about 20 people were said to be fighting on a grassy area outside the building. When officers arrived, they found just four people, two outside and two inside the apartment lobby. Three men in their 20s were suffering minor stab wounds to the abdomen, face and arm. Cpl. Jamie Chung said a large group of people was walking past the building, where a smaller group of people were standing outside, when there was an exchange between the two. “One thing led to another and a fight broke out and somebody pulled a knife.” It’s believed the suspect was one of the individuals in the larger group walking past the building. “We don’t have a motive at this point,” Chung said. “It appears one group does not know the other. It was a close-to-midnight, after-the-party kind of event.” Police are looking for additional witnesses and are asking anyone with information to call them at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2012-22035. spayne@tricitynews.com

Cops seek Austin Heights robber Three robberies likely by same suspect: cops By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Mounties are looking for a suspect responsible for a rash of robberies in the Austin Heights neighbourhood since the beginning of the month. In three incidents — which occurred Aug. 2, 6 and 8 — the suspect entered a business and demanded cash from the register. In one instance, at a pharmacy, he also stole prescriptions. “We have a team of investigators working the case and we believe the same individual is responsible for these robberies in the area,” said Cpl. Albert Lam of the Coquitlam RCMP robbery section. “We want the area shopkeepers to be vigilant and call 911 immediately if they see anyone matching the description. Please don’t approach him because we believe he may be armed.” The suspect is de-

They did everything wrong but were found Hikers took the wrong path and had no light By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A pair of hikers on Burke Mountain in Coquitlam had to be rescued with the help of a police helicopter early Sunday morning. And they set an example of what not to do when exploring the great outdoors, according to local searchers. J i m D e l g r a n d e, search manager for Coquitlam Search and Rescue (SAR), said the two Port Coquitlam men set off on the Lake View Trail in search of Coquitlam Lake, not realizing the trail doesn’t actually go there, and eventually ran out of daylight. “They were on the trail and it was getting dark and they decided to take a shortcut, which is always a bad idea,” said Delgrande. Searchers were called in by Coquitlam

Going for a hike? Here are essentials From the Coquitlam Search and Rescue website, following are the “10 essentials” that may allow lost hikers to survive: • flashlight and spare batteries; • extra food and water; • extra clothing (rain, wind, water protection); • pocket knife; • navigational aids (map, compass, altimeter, gps, chart, radio, mobile phone) — and know how to use them; • candle; — for warmth and light, and to start a fire; • first aid kit — and know how to use it; • large orange garbage bag — for use as an emergency shelter and a signaling device for helicopters; • fire starter (matches in a waterproof container or a full lighter); • and sun protection (glasses, sunscreen, hat).

ommend lost people build fires at this time of year because they’re going to burn the mountain down.” He added that a flashlight or camera flash pointed up at a helicopter or plane works as well. The hikers didn’t have a flashlight, however, one of several things they did wrong, Delgrande said. “They didn’t allow enough time [for their hike] and they were not well equipped. We always tell people to go out with the 10 essentials, no matter how good the weather looks, and one of those things is a flashlight or head lamp.” also Hikers shouldn’t rely on cell phones to get them out of trouble, given the potential for batteries to die and spotty cell phone coverage up on the mountain. “They were just lucky,” Delgrande said. “They were facing the right way. Typically the reception there is very poor.”

Drunk boater is busted

An allegedly intoxicated Coquitlam boat operator, who police said collided with two vessels in the marina at Deep Cove, has received a 90-day roadside driving prohibition and had his vehicle impounded for 30 days. N o r t h Va n c o u ve r RCMP said they received a call at 7 p.m. Sunday after four intoxicated males threatened another boater. As the group left the marina, they hit two other boats,

causing minimal damage. The RCMP patrol vessel conducted an immediate search of the area and located the alleged driver of the boat at Rocky Point, where he was backing his truck and trailer up to the boat launch. Police said the driver f ailed the roadside screening test and the 34-year-old received a 90day driving prohibition and has had his vehicle impounded for 30 days.

“Drinking and driving, whether on land or water is illegal and punishable under the criminal code and provincial acts,” said North Vancouver RCMP Cpl. Richard De Jong. “It is well known that drinking and taking to the water can lead to dangerous situations. “Operators are responsible for the safety of their guests and should consider other users of the waterway.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Burke water worries A two-acre site on C o q u i t l a m ’s B u rke Mountain will be prone to flooding if it’s redeveloped, neighbours warned city council last month. At a July 30 public hearing, area home ow n e r s c a u t i o n e d council that should six lots between Roxton and Darwin avenues be razed for nine new homes plus a future subdivision, there may be serious water issues when it rains — espe-

cially as West Smiling Creek bisects the land. B u rk e M o u n t a i n Street residents Nick and Wendy Caldarone, as well as Shane Peachman of Wilkie Avenue, voiced concern about the runoff, saying city engineers are well aware of the problem; excess water is a common complaint at city hall as more housing is built and more trees are removed in northeast Coquitlam. Still, at the council meeting later that night,

council granted second and third reading to rezone the six properties, with Coun. Mae Reid adding she wanted to see a staff report from the engineering department about the run-off issues prior to fourth and final readings. Meanwhile, council okayed a rezoning for 3510 Highland Dr. — also in the Smiling Creek neighbourhood on Burke Mountain — for four new single-family lots on one acre.

Court judgment awards Coquitlam man $680,000 Incident involves a fall at YVR in 2010 By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Coquitlam man has received $680,000 in a court judgment for injuries he sustained when his foot got caught between two metal plates and he fell on a road construction site at Vancouver International Airport. John Witt told the court he hurt his hips, legs and knees, injuries that will cause the 60-year-old long-term

suf fering and make him more likely to experience “degenerative changes.” “I was go, go, go,” Witt testified, describing his physical abilities before the accident. Now he said he “just wants to sit.” During the civil trial, a doctor testified that Witt will likely require surgery for degenerative arthritis in his hips and knees. The doctor also stated that lower back problems would be an ongoing concern for the plaintiff. Last week, the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver ruled in fa-

vour of Witt, awarding him $80,000 in non-pecuniary damages and $600,000 for loss of capacity. Justice Grant Burnyeat said due to his injuries, it is likely that the plaintiff will have to retire at least two years early. Witt sells emergency equipment for a company called Safetek, where he earned an average of $740,000 per year. “I conclude that the earning capacity of Mr. Witt has been reduced even though his income is greater than what it was before the fall,” Burnyeat said in his

reasons for judgment. “Given the uncontradicted medical evidence, I think the only reasonable conclusion is that Mr. Witt was rendered less capable from earning income from all types of employment.” The judge said the defendants, which include construction firm SNC-Lavalin, Tyam Construction and the Va n c o u ve r A i r p o r t Authority, should have taken more care. The negligence of the defendants, he said, “was the only cause of the fall.”

Toppling tables lead to lawsuit against SD43, former students THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Port Coquitlam man is taking legal action against School District 43 and several former Terry Fox secondary school students over an incident in 2005 when he said a stack of tables fell on him. In a statement of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court in Va n c o u v e r, C o d y Alexander James said he received injuries to his head, sternum, pelvis, hips and legs, and suffered a concussion, nausea, headaches and dizziness resulting from the incident. In a notice of civil claim, James said he is seeking general and specific damages as well as costs from the district and the for mer students. “The plaintiff has sustained damages for the cost of medical treatment, including past and future costs of health care services provided by the government of British Columbia,” said the statement of claim. “The plaintiff continues to undergo medical care and treatment and continues to sustain damages, particulars of which will be provided at the trial of this action.” The document states that on Dec. 5, 2005, James was walking near the school cafeteria where the tables had been stacked by a person listed as John Doe #1, an employee of the district. Five students, who are also listed as John Does, are accused of knocking over the tables. The notice of civil claim states that the defendant’s negligence led

to James’ injuries, from which he still suffers today. The information in a notice of civil claim is provided by the plaintiff and none of the assertions have been proven in court. SD43 has not

yet filed a statement of defence. Cheryl Quinton, the SD43’s manager of communications, told The Tri-City News that the district would not be commenting on the matter.

We reap what we throw away

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

hile we’re unlikely to see an end to the debate about climate change anytime soon, last week, some saw first-hand how the human race is impacting Mother Nature. The Japanese research vessel Kaisei was in Richmond and researchers onboard that vessel brought samples of the thousands of tonnes of plastic that is polluting the Pacific Ocean. Comprising plastic drink cups and laundry detergent containers, chunks of foam, plastic grocery bags and other man-made products, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch stretches the size of the state of Texas, perhaps even twice as large. Some of the plastic remains recognizable but other pieces have been smashed to smithereens, turning into a floating toxic cloud of small particles that ocean life appears to be feeding upon. And that means it could end up in a different form on your dining table. We are a consumer-based society and there’s no changing that but people need to become more responsible in how they dispose of their waste. Much of the hundreds of millions of tonnes of plastics produced annually is somehow winding up in the ocean. And that mess desperately needs cleaning up. What’s more, the dangerous chemicals that make up these plastics are leaching into the waters, a further invisible hazard. Also on the environmental front, Bing Thom Architects recently released a study about the impact rising sea levels will have on Vancouver. Should the seas rise five metres or more, more than $25 billion worth of Vancouver real estate could be affected, in addition to the impact on roads, sewers and electrical facilities. In Richmond, city staff are looking at the city’s own system of dike protection, with the cost of upgraded dikes in the city expected to reach $200 million or more, a cost to be borne over the next quarter century. In a nutshell, we reap what we sow, so think about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch the next time you fail to recycle anything plastic. You probably won’t pay the price but your children and grandchildren surely will. – The Richmond Review (Black Press)

Believe it or not, B.C. liquor laws finally effective BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ere’s a summer scene being played out all over North America: Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C., you say? Wrong. It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of the province. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C. cities and towns but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on

2012 CCNA

a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to underage drinkers. Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact, there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84% compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96%. Five rural agency stores were tested and one flunked. But here is the telling statistic: In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol. As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now, liquor inspectors send in undercover teens and relieve them of the evidence when

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

they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards. The BC Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The BC Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked

to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs. The BC Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

A letter writer last week complained about goose poop fouling Rocky Point Park in Port Moody. In response, a Coquitlam resident wrote on behalf of the iconic Canada geese that frequent many Tri-City parks.

Human litter hurts; at least, that’s what some geese say The Editor, Re. “What a load of goose crap at park” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 8). My family has lived in this area for many generations and when I hear stories about how life used to be for my

family, I am truly disgusted about the way things are now. We go away for the winter but when we return each year to our generational family homestead, we are always shocked by what has happened.

Places my ancestors have called home since “forever” are being taken away from us and paved over or built upon. Our traditional homestead sites are practically all gone now and the area is overrun by humans, who leave

litter everywhere. Human litter does not decompose and is a health hazard to my family. Have you considered culling this health hazard? Sincerely, Canada Geese (Kellie Zimmerman, Coquitlam)

Bridge tolls will be way too high The Editor, I have written to so many elected officials and 99% have neglected to even respond. So, I thought I might just send a note your way. My dilemma is that the tolls on the Port Mann Bridge are going to cost me a fortune. My estimate is about $2,000 per year because I live in Coquitlam and drive to work in Langley. On top of this, we as a family are constantly crossing the bridge for so many reasons so even

with a transponder, the cost for work alone, back and forth, five days a week will cost me $1,500 a year. Some would say I should move to the other side of the bridge. But why should I be forced to move from a neighbourhood that I love due to bridge tolls? I have travelled this route, toll-free, since 1988 and believe tolls should not determine my move. I believe every crossing or new highway project, including the

S e a - t o - S k y, s h o u l d charge $1. This would at least spread the cost to everyone. As it is now, people in Surrey or Langley working west of the Port Mann and those opposite going east will be paying far too much. Another idea that I believe to be fair is to have a cap for the many frequent users; I would consider, for example, $100 per month or $1,000 per year. It’s still a lot of money for a family of five like mine but a lot

less than what it could be. Could you please help me bring attention to this issue because these tolls are more than many families can afford. The argument put forward from proponents of this project is that time and gas saved will balance the cost of tolls. I say BS! Something should be done to change the system of tolling. Eric Santema, Coquitlam

Thanks!

MORTGAGE UP FOR RENEWAL?

The Editor, After injuring my foot during a run on Patricia Avenue in Port Coquitlam, a very kind lady came out of her house and offered me a ride. I declined, saying my running partner had gone back to get the car and was going to pick me up at Hyde Creek rec centre. As I hopped along in extreme pain, another resident came out of his house and offered me a ride. This time, I did not decline as I had then realized I could not make it. I want to say a big thank-you to these two very kind individuals for coming to my aid. Liz Edmunson, Burnaby

Teens offer answers to tech question New service provides adults info on how to work iPads, phones By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tech-savvy teens are enjoying oracle status and Port Moody Public Library has become Mount Olympus for adults trying to figure out their smart phones, iPads and eReaders. All summer, teenage volunteers from local high schools have been answering technology questions from adults who have been popping in to a pilot drop-in program called Tech CafĂŠ. PMPLâ€™s youth serv i c e s c o - o r d i n a t o r, Maryn Ashdown, said the pro g ram â€” offered Thursdays in the ParkLane Room from 2:30 to 4 p.m. â€” is getting rave reviews from adults who are getting one-onone help. Eight volunteers are on hand for each session and approximately 15 adults have been coming to them with questions about their iPads, eReaders, smart phones, computers and other technology on any given day. A new group of volunteers will be on the job at the Tech CafĂŠ this month and Ashdown wants to get the word out that the free service is available. â€œWe really want to communicate with people that itâ€™s here,â€? said Ashdown, who pointed out that the youth volunteers have been raised with technology that is new to many seniors, as well as some new immigrants and others just

getting started with a new piece of technology. â€œPeople really appreciate the opportunity to get their questions answered and they are saying the teens are great at customer service.â€? Participants can bring their own devices or use the libraryâ€™s laptop computers. No registration is required to get help with email (Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail), attachments (downloading, uploading and saving), social media (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, smart phones and texting), Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, as well as learning about flash drives, downloading online forms and creating and organizing folders. The teens say they enjoy solving the questions that are brought to them. Marianne Alcala, who is going into Grade 12 at Coquitlamâ€™s Gleneagle secondary in September, said questions range from the simple, such as how to email an attachment, to the complicated, such as how cloud computing works. In some cases, seniors are turning up with older model computers passed on from family members and need to know how to turn them on and get them to work. â€œItâ€™s a surprise to me that people donâ€™t know how to use computers,â€? said Alex Kouwenhoven, who graduated from PoMoâ€™s Heritage Woods secondary last year and is taking computer systems and technology at BCIT in the fall. But he said he has learned a lot while volunteering and is developing communication

skills. Alcala said she decided to volunteer to get out of the house over the summer and is enjoying meeting new people. With so many new technologies to work with and lots of questions, the youth say they are spending an hour or more with each adult. Most attendees are over 55 but some are older, and about one-third are ESL speakers or newcomers. By the fall, the students will be back in school and adults will be on their own. But they can still sign up for the regular computer lecture series if they want to know more about computing clouds and other technology issues. â€˘ To find out more about PMPL programs, visit library.portmoody. ca. Port Moody Public Library is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band placed third at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Several Tri-City players participated in the event, including Gavin MacRae, a drum sergeant, and pipe major Rob Menzies. SFU’s junior bands also had a good showing, with the Grade 3 Robert Malcolm Memorial band taking first place in its category and the Grade 4 band placing third. The bands performed under sunny skies that drew a crowd of well over 35,000 spectators.

‘Signature’ dance on PNE stage Freemantle to perform at PNE talent show By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

f the music doesn’t send chills down yo u r s p i n e, c e rtainly the dancing will. To see Port Moody secondary’s Ben Freemantle interpret the Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah in his YouTube video, one has to sit down to witness grace in motion. The 17-year-old student of the Caulfield School of Dance choreographed the routine himself — and it won him a spot in the youth division for this year’s PNE Star Showdown. Freemantle will be performing the number on Saturday, the opening day of The Fair. “I perform it a lot,” he said. “I feel like it’s my signature piece.... I’m relaxed with it. It’s my own movements. The quality comes out and I can chose what to do with it, physically and emotionally.” Freemantle also picked the two-minute dance for the decadesold PNE competition because it’s modern, he said. “I know that ballet would not go over well in a show like this because it’s such a diverse audience,” he said. PNE entertainment director Patrick Robert said Freemantle will be offering a crowd pleaser. Of the 400 submissions the judges whittled down for the semi-finals, which also includes kids’ and adults’ entries, “Ben’s video was, hands down, head and shoulders above any other dancer’s for his category,” Roberge said. “He’s that good.” Freemantle is the only Tri-City competitor in the PNE showdown as well as the only dancer in his division; and should he advance to the finals on Aug. 21, Freemantle is eligible

To see Freemantle’s Hallelujah dance, visit www. youtube.com/watch?v=vQdCaNAoDzc or www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZXy-eJ4mkk. to win the top prize of $5,000 cash, not to mention the title that’s been earned in the past by such luminaries as Michael Bublé and Carly Rae Jepsen. Still, as strong as his routine is, Freemantle said he doesn’t see contemporary dancing in his future. Last September, he was accepted to the San Francisco Ballet School and he will continue with his studies at a higher level, come next month, on a full tuition scholarship; in his spare time, he will finish his Grade 12 online. Though he returned from San Francisco after five months last semester, Freemantle said the “downtime” back at home has allowed him to focus strictly on ballet instead of combining it with jazz, modern, tap and hip hop, for example. “I think I improved a lot because it was just one thing,” he said. “I can feel it.” His recent practice also caught the attention of a school director, while at a four-week summer intensive in San Francisco in July. “The director came up

to me and said, ‘Where have you been training? You’re so much better.’ That was really great to hear.” “The difference between Ben as a performer last spring to this spring in competition, community perfor mances and our year-end show was enormous,” added his longtime Port Moody teacher Cori Caulfield, principal of the Caulfield School of Dance. “His growth as an artist paralleled his growth as a technician in the previous September to June this year. “This speed of improvement makes me so excited for his future,” she said. As for his next steps, Freemantle, too, has his mind set on his career. His immediate goal is to “train, improve my technique and be the best that I can be,” he said. And, by the time he’s 19, “I want to be in a company. My dream is San Francisco but it’s a hard company to get into. “But I think I’m on the right track.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam teacher’s characters caught between cultures By Sheila Reynolds BLACK PRESS

She was at temple one day when she heard it. Raminder Sidhu said she was sitting nearby as a group of women were chatting.

The Coquitlam middle school teacher couldn’t hear everything clearly, but the tone the ladies were using was definitely sullen. It sounded like they were talking about a couple who had lost a child, and how it

was especially tragic because they didn’t have any other children. Then, Sidhu realized she was wrong. She had misinterpreted the conversation. The women weren’t mourning a death but

lamenting the birth of a third daughter. She was stunned. “Seriously, this is still happening?” she thought. Having g rown up in a South Asian community, straddling the

North American culture she was raised in the midst of in Vancouver, she had seen and heard a lot of things she had questioned over the years. But this was the last straw.

“Somebody has got to do something about this,” Sidhu thought. “Nobody’s going to change anything if no one’s going to recognize this is a problem.” She began scribbling her thoughts in a note-

book and with no plan and no outline, a short story emerged. And eventually, from that short story grew her debut novel, Tears of Mehndi. see DIARY,, page A16

Raminder Sidhu, a middle school teacher in Coquitlam, said her book “Tears of Mehndi,” began with a conversation overheard at a temple, morphed into a short story and grew into a novel.

Diary entries tell the story continued from page A15

Published earlier this year, the book, which explores the intertwined lives of several female characters living in Vancouver’s Punjabi Market neighbourhood, is written in first-person narrative through a series of diary entries. “The South Asian community is based on rumour and gossip and hearsay — no one ever knows the facts. I wanted to use a format that actually shows the way the community functions.” The for mat allows her to explore myriad social issues — domestic abuse, gender discrimination, racism — from a variety of points of view, from a young girl anticipating her arranged marriage, to an older woman torn be-

tween the shame of divorce versus living with an unfaithful husband. The different perspectives, Sidhu says, are important. “It seems like everyone talks about the people in our community but nobody talks with them, to help them.” And the author doesn’t shy away from her opinion that though they’re often the victims, females are also a big part of the problem. “I wanted to show that women are perpetuating gender discrimination. All the violence and domestic abuse just progressed naturally. When you’re raised your whole life to be inferior to men, it’s natural progression that these tragedies are going to occur.” She has lear ned,

however, that the issues raised in her book are not unique to the South Asian community. “It’s so cross-cultural. I’m getting so much feedback where readers are saying, ‘Where you say good Indian girl, I want to cross it out and put good Chinese girl, or good Italian girl.’” Sidhu, a Surrey resident who teaches at Sir Frederick Banting middle school, and did not have big dreams of being a novelist. Still, the story flowed easily, she says, although the subject matter wasn’t always pleasant to deal with. “I was so compelled. You know how they say ‘the book chose me’? That was it,” she says. “I’ll admit it was disturbing at times. I would be overwhelmed.” Since the book was

published, she’s heard of many more incidents of violence and heartbreak. “I know I wrote a fiction novel, but this is real for so many women,” Sidhu says, adding she initially naively thought she was writing about a minority and that attitudes toward women in her community had improved much more since the ‘60s and ‘70s than they have. For now, Sidhu’s happy her book is getting the word out and encouraging dialogue. She hopes that one day the “great” side of South Asian culture can shine through, but says it’s nearly impossible until the pervading social problems are dealt with. “I’m just the voice. I’m hoping readers will be the action.”

TC Olympic medal trio talks triumph By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

wo of the Tri-Cities’ trio of Olympic medallists came home to a heroine’s welcome Monday while the other stayed to travel Europe for a month. Regardless, all three told The TriCity Newss they were elated and overwhelmed with the response after having served their country and community at the 2012 London Games.

“I’m very proud to come from Coquitlam and the support the community has shown me has been amazing,” Brittany Timko wrote Tuesday in an email while travelling with her boyfriend overseas. Timko, 26, was part of the Canadian women’s soccer team that earned the bronze medal with a thrilling 1-0 stoppage-time victory over France last Thursday. It was a huge step for Timko and the team after a gut-punching, controversial

4-3 overtime loss to the U.S. in the semi-finals, and a quarter-final loss to the Americans at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. “Our team goal before the Olympics was to [make the] podium and to see the Canadian flag being raised, so walking away with a bronze medal is very satisfying,” Timko said. “It was a heart-breaker to lose to the U.S. in the semi-finals, but that’s sport. “After the game was done, there

were a lot of tears and then the next morning, we did our best to shake it off, knowing that we still had an amazing opportunity in front of us.” A reserve player during the Olympics, Timko, a forward-midfielder, was inserted into the bronzemedal match by Canadian head coach John Herdman in the 77th minute to add fresh legs and replace high-scoring forward Melissa Tancredi. see ROWER GULOIEN, GULOIEN, page A19

A Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs’ player goes nose to nose with the Delta Islanders’ Mike Henry during the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse playoff final series, which the Jr. A’s won in five games.

Jr. A’s cream of B.C. crop again By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS The dynasty continues. Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs captured their fourth straight B.C. Junior ‘A’ lacrosse league championship via a 9-4 thrashing Thursday of the Delta Islanders at Poirier Sports Complex. The victory ended the best-of-seven playoff series in five games, with the Jr. A’s having won the last three straight. The Jr. A’s, who earned their first and only Minto Cup national championship as hosts of the four-team tournament in 2010, advance to this year’s Minto running Aug. 18 to 26 in Whitby, Ont. On Thursday, the Jr. A’s jumped to a 4-0 first-period lead and soared

to victory, out-shooting the visitors handily by a 54-32 margin. “I thought that last one was our best game of the series,” said Jr. A’s head coach Neil Dinsdale. “We were pretty focused. I thought Delta played the best they have all year but we outshot them every game.” Tyler Garrison zipped in three goals for the Jr. A’s, who got two more from Ben McIntosh. Other Coquitlam marksmen were Wesley Berg, Vincent Ricci, Andy Taylor and Robert Church, who contributed four assists as well.

BANDITS ADVANCE, TOO

Andrew Murphy was a one-man wrecking crew as the Tri-City Bandits steamrolled over Abbotsford’s Valley Rebels in three straight games to cap-

ture their fifth straight West Coast Senior ‘B’ lacrosse league playoff championship. Murphy pumped in a playoffhigh 18 goals and 20 assists, including four markers and six helpers in Sunday’s best-of-five final seriesclinching 8-5 overtime win over the Nanaimo Timbermen at PoCo Rec Centre, to scoop playoff MVP honours and help advance the Bandits to the President’s Cup national tournament starting Aug. 27 in Spruce Grove, Alta. Jordan Flaman added three goals and three assists for the Bandits, with Ryan Mosdell netting two tallies. Single marksmen for Tri-City were Garrett Chan, Justin Hawksbee, Cam Appels, Jordan Wong and Kevin Miotto. Andrew Leyshon blocked 42

shots in the Bandits’ cage. On Saturday in PoCo, the Saints Junior ‘A’ call-up Richard Lachlan notched a goal and three assists as the Bandits doubled the Rebels 8-4, again in overtime. Kevin Miotto scored twice for the winners, who got singles from Darren McEwen, Chan, Hawksbee, Mosdell, Murphy and Lachlan, with what proved the winner. Miller stopped 41 shots. The Bandits opened the series Thursday with a 10-8 triumph at Queen’s Park Arena. Appels led the Tri-City triggermen with four goals, while Murphy added a pair and three assists. Jarrett Neigum, McEwen, Lachlan and Chan also scored for the Bandits, who got a 35-save effort from Leyshon.

’Rocks battle back to knot A’s By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Adanacs dominated the Western Lacrosse Association individual league awards but they are no longer dominating the Victoria Shamrocks. Victoria evened the best-of-seven semifinal series at two games apiece via an 11-8 overtime victory Saturday at Poirier Sports Complex. It marked the second straight win for the Shamrocks, who tripped Coquitlam 9-6 Friday on Vancouver Island, after the A’s won the opening two games. Game 5 was set for Victoria’s Bear Mountain Arena last night (Tuesday, after The Tri-City News’ deadline) with Game 6 back at Poirier tonight, 7:45 p.m. A’s general manager Randy Delmonico was dismayed his team twice had the ball in the final 30 seconds of regulation time Saturday and coughed it up both times, only to watch PoCo Saints Jr. ‘A’ grad Derek Lowe score with two ticks remaining to knot the score 8-8 and force overtime. There, the Shamrocks whipped in three goals in the 10-minute extra frame to win. “When you have the game won and give it up like that it let’s the air out of your tires,” Delmonico g roused. “They [Shamrocks] are also holding the ball a lot longer than we are. Our defence is on the floor too much and they’re getting tired, and that’s a problem. “Face-offs and loose balls are so important and we’re working on that.” Jason Jones and Dane Dobbie led the A’s suddenly sagging offence with two goals each, with Coquitlam singles going to Kevin Olson, Damon Edwards, Ryan Johnson and Daryl Veltman. On Friday in Victoria, Dobbie’s three goals weren’t enough in the A’s three-goal defeat. Jones, Olson and Daniel McQuade were Coquitlam’s remaining marksmen, as the Shamrocks outshot the visitors by a lopsided 54-39 count. see A’S A S GRAB, GRAB, page A19

Timko was on the field when Canada’s Diana Matheson hit a gaping net off a deflection nearly two minutes into stoppage time. “This Olympic experience was more special to me than Beijing not only because of the team’s success but because my family was able to be there and enjoy it with me,” Timko said. “They have been the ones who listened to me as a five-year-old say that I wanted to play soccer in the Olympics and have always supported everything I’ve done. “Beijing will always be special in that it was my first Olympics but London has been an absolute dream come true.” Fo r P o r t M o o d y 32-year-old Krista Guloien, it was also the thrill of a lifetime when her women’s eight rowing team roared to the silver medal — half a boat length shy of the winning American crew. “I knew going into the final we were going to have our best race, even though I was really nervous,” said Guloien, whose team started slow before surging late to press the U.S. squad to the limit. “It was really exciting. When you’re there [at the Olympics], everything happens so fast. You prepare for so long and then you’re actually there... it’s kind of surreal.” Guloien has watched the tape of the race a few times and admitted she thinks occasionally just how close to gold her team came. “Part of me wonders if we had gotten out faster at the start, would we have been able to maintain our lead?” said Guloien, who said she’s retiring from competitive rowing but plans to stay involved in the sport in some way. “A small part of me thinks that but I don’t stay up at night thinking about it too much. Silver is pretty special still.” Meanwhile, cyclist Jasmin Glaesser came home to a throng of supporters at Vancouver International Airport and, a few hours later, was at home in Coquitlam celebrating her bronze-medal win in three-member women’s team pursuit amid family and friends. “I love it, it’s amazing,” Glaesser said of the welcoming party that greeted her. “It’s incredible the amount of support we had over here [in Canada].”

It may be a tall order to top the success of the 2011 version of the Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show that drew just over 500 vehicles and an estimated 50,000 spectators to the downtown streets, but rest assured, the organizers are up to the challenge. The key to any event’s ongoing success is finding ways to reinvent itself each year to stay fresh and lively and I believe we have accomplished this again for the 8th edition of the show. This year’s line-up of entertainment might be the best yet with acts like the Blues Brothers Too, Nightshift, Second Storey Theatre, The Reprise. In the Kid Zone features a 24-foot rock climbing wall, mini golf, face painting and more. You can find more information on all the entertainment in the coming pages. The list of features is lengthy for sure and I tip my hat to our dedicated volunteer committee and the staff of the Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) who work year-round to bring this great event to the citizens of the city. BIA General Manager, Kayla Steele, her staff and the organizing commit-

of course the merchants of the downtown (BIA) who donate not only funds but a massive amount of manpower that ensures this event goes off without a hitch. Other key supporters include this paper, Tri-City News, who promote the show through these pages prior to the event, Trophy Centre that provide the dash plaques for participants, the breakfasts sponsors Pennington Holdings Ltd and Dominion Lending Centre a breakfast for the 500-plus participants (prepared by the Elks Club), Tim Horton’s, Discount Towing, Pacific Car Art and the City of Port Coquitlam itself for allowing us to use the streets and providing many services the day of the show. I would sincerely like to thank all of the sponsors and volunteers that make this event fun to be involved in and look forward to seeing all of you on the streets of downtown Port Coquitlam Sunday, August 19th!

tee of volunteers made up of Bruce Richardson, Wayne Dudgeon, Tony Hall, Angie Hall, Mike Roberts, Brenda Washington, Brian Wormald, Richard Austin and Bruce Kowalski who spend countless hours tending to every last detail to make sure that is indeed the case. We can’t forget about the other half of the equation that continues to make this show one of the best outdoor events in the province…our sponsors. Once again Metro Motors has stepped to the fore front as co-title sponsor of the show. When many may have used the excuse of being too busy while undertaking a massive renovation at their store on the corner of Lougheed and Westwood (3 blocks east of Coquitlam Centre), Layne Magnuson Sr. and son Kent once again have not only lent their support financially but as a community partner providing many in-kind services to the show to insure that it is once again a success. They are truly a great partner of the show so please show your support by taking the time to drop by their booth at the intersection of Shaughnessy and McAllister. Our other title co-sponsor

Car Show Etiquette Like anything, the average car show is typically populated by denizens of the car culture. As such, most show goers know the few unspoken rules about attending such a display of automotive excellence; however, there always seems to be a few folks in the crowd that, being new to the hobby or “culture,” haven’t quite grasped those aforementioned rules in their entirety. So, in the interest of maintaining peace at the show, here are a few cardinal rules about admiring another’s machinery: Don’t let go of your offspring. Sure, they may appear cute and cuddly, but the second they slip from your grasp, chances are good havoc will ensue. Ranging from horrible incidents involving suede interiors and ice cream or simply annoying handprints on freshly waxed flanks, the catalogue of calamities that have resulted from free range children at car shows is too long already, and doesn’t need any more entries. Don’t let go of your dog. Predators by nature, dogs have been equipped with more than a few anti-car weapons by mother nature. Be it by shedding hair all over interiors, or scratching fresh paint with their claws, your dog is a veritable wrecking ball just looking for a target. Don’t touch. It sounds simple, and it is… and yet we’re still amazed at the number of touchy feely people out there. Sure, poking a seat may not seem all that harmful, but consider that doing so requires the unthinking gesture of leaning, and leaning usually involves touching, and touching leaves fingerprints. And after spending possibly days cleaning and prepping a car for a show, fingerprints are the bane of most car owners’ existence. Keep cigarettes, food, and drink away. While the reasoning behind food and drink may seem obvious, it’s often ignored, and with fatal results. No situation illustrated this better than the infamous engine inspector/ice-cream cone eater we observed who, in leaning over to inspect the firewall, ended up depositing two scoops of rapidly melting tin roof sundae into the venturis of the exposed Holley carb. Likewise, getting the odour of cigarette smoke out of an interior is costly and time consuming.

Consider your wardrobe. Feel like pulling that old, ratty, beer-stained Winternationals t-shirt out for the local show and shine? Be our guest. Kurt Cobain-style ripped jeans? A-Ok. Speedo? Sure, whatever. Steak Eating Champion of ’06 belt buckle? No. Hard parts like belt buckles, watch straps, bracelets, and even shirt buttons and jean rivets can inadvertently scratch paint, so be wary about what you wear. Save your opinion for later. All too often we’ve seen show goers lambaste a car owner’s decision on everything from

SUNDAY, AUGUST 19, 2012 ~ 10 AM - 6 PM The 2012 edition of the Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show has grown again with the addition of a new partner in the Sounds of Summer Ford Mustang Show & Shine. The Sounds of Summer has been one of the premier Mustang shows over the past seven year displaying the Lower Mainland’s finest Specialty Mustangs, modified Mustangs, classic Mustangs and Mustang race cars. It has also been keen support of The Children’s Wish Foundation of BC. With the support of Mustang owners, the public and

the local community, the event has raised an impressive $39,500.00 for the Children’s Wish Foundation over the span of the show. The Downtown Poco Car Show is thrilled to partner with the Sounds of Summer and The Children’s Wish Foundation to add a charitable element to the show. With that, $5 from each vehicle registration from the entire show will go to the Children’s Wish Foundation. Celebrating 28 years, The Children’s Wish Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling a favorite wish for children diag-

nosed with a high risk, life threatening illness. The foundation is the only all-Canadian organization with offices from coast to coast granting wishes for these special children. Since its inception in 1984, the Foundation has granted over 18,000 wishes. Visit them at www.childrenswish.ca for more information As well, Children’s Wish Foundation volunteers will also be on site selling 50/50 ticket and raffle tickets to raise money for this worthy cause so please look for their two locations and support the kids if you can.

Blues Brothers Too

The Reprise KID ZONE

In addition to the incredible line up of cars and entertainment on display at the annual car show there is also a great children’s area with exciting activities that are all FREE of CHARGE in the “Kid’s Zone” The Rock Wall: Test out your climbing skill on the 24 foot tall rock wall that can accommodate three climbers at a time. The climbing surface is free-form and textured to give the climbers the feeling that are climbing on real rock! The Rock Wall is great fun and their team of professions will make your experience a memorable and fun one. The portable wall is great fun and is open to anyone from three years of age and of all abilities.

Bells and Whistles Miniature Golf If you want to take a break why not play a round of golf ? We have a 9-hole course to challenge your putting skills. See if you can brave the obstacles including lighthouses, bridges and windmills. It’s great entertainment for the whole family as the course is challenging to both children and adults. It only takes about 15 minutes to play the course and the best part is that is free for all to play! Other features in the Kid Zone include face painting, safety display and an Ultimate Martial Arts display. The fun runs from 11am-5pm in the parking lot behind the A&W on Wilson Avenue.

Second Storey Theatre This year there is a fabulous line up of entertainers featured on the main stage at Leigh that you won’t want to miss. The show kicks off with the #1 Elvis Tribute Artist, Mr. Darren Lee (10:30-11:15 & 1:15-2:00), returning to his Canadian roots to perform in front of a home audience. He will be performing all of your favourite Elvis songs that will get you dancing in your Blue Suede Shoes and swaying back and forth with your sweetie to Love Me Tender. Darren will also be walking the show throughout the day posing for photos and talking to attendees as well as participating in the awards ceremonies. At 11:30-12:15 a taste of Poco hits the stage with the city’s own “The Reprise”. This rock 3 piece formed of childhood friends Austin Ledyard (Guitar, Lead Vocals), Brayson Wong (Bass) and Myles Phillpott (Drums, Backup Vocals) credits inﬂuences like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and many more. The mostly selftaught band loves to rock and are always ripping, roaring and ready to go! If you love a good laugh you won’t want to miss the performance by the troop from the Second Storey Theatre (12:30-1:00) as the cast will have you rolling in your seats with their com-

edy set. If you have never been to the theatre on Whyte Avenue above the Dairy Queen and you love improve and stand up it is a must see show. Who doesn’t remember and love the classic Saturday Night Live skit of Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood (Dan Akroyd) Blues that later lead to the hilarious motion picture? If you do you will be jumping in your seats with the sounds and antics of the “Blues Brothers Too” (2:15-245). Yes the dual of Jake and Elwood will be on stage performing hits like “Soul Man” and others as well as interacting with spectators all day on the streets with the Blues Mobile. Rounding out the day before the award ceremonies at 3:00-3:45 and 4:45-6:00 is the dynamic ﬁve-piece band, “Nightshift”. This group of long time local musicians cover hits ranging from the 70’s to today’s current pop and rock favorites. Their blend of tight harmonies, layered sounds and unique song selections make them one of the more interesting cover bands in the Lower Mainland and they are sure to entertain. This year more than ever there is something for everyone on stage at Leigh Square so make sure you drop by the stage cheer on these acts.

The Hot Rod Hotties will be on hand walking the show and posing for photos with car owners and spectators from 11:00am-5:00pm.
