Coq. considers new sports court

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A parking lot next to Coquitlam’s Centennial Pavilion is being eyed for a new indoor sports court.

This week, about two dozen representatives from Coquitlam athletic organizations met with a city-hired consultant to consider four locations for a year-round, 25,000 sq. ft. facility that is expected to cost between $2 million and $4 million. see CENTENNIAL PROPERTY, page 16

Time-of-use charges for transit?

Road pricing logic may extend to buses and SkyTrain too

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

TransLink is doubling down on the concept of road pricing, arguing it should apply not just to cars to control congestion at the busiest times but also to transit riders to make more efficient use of buses and SkyTrain as well.

A revision of TransLink’s long-range regional transpor-

tation strategy is going to public consultation over the next two months and it reinforces the idea of using time-of-use PADDON pricing tools to make the most of investments.

The Transportation 2045 plan will argue the number of vehicle trips travelled in the region must climb no higher if Metro Vancouver is to remain a livable region and not end up mired in gridlock.

Capping car travel will be

hard. The overall number of trips taken is projected to climb 50% over the next three decades as a million more Metro Vancouverites arrive, all crisscrossing the region to get to 500,000 more jobs.

So planners said the proportion of trips by transit, cycling and walking must rise at a much faster rate from 27% now to 50%, while the share of trips by car falls.

Building more rapid transit lines is part of the strategy – TransLink estimates up to $23 billion is needed to expand the system over 30 years. The first $5 billion would merely main-

tain what already exists.

But another plank in the document said TransLink should “price roads and transit for fairness, efficiency and revenue.”

TransLink strategic planning vice-president Bob Paddon said road pricing has been in longrange plans for 20 years, but it’s now becoming critical to implement. Area mayors also want to explore road pricing, where drivers might pay more to drive on major routes depending on the time of day or severity of congestion. see TRANSLINK, page 17

Dump truck mechanics to be tested

Dr. Charles Best secondary students Kyle Jones and Luc Couture install the arm of a lawn swing before it was erected in Mundy Park in Coquitlam Thursday while Filitche Hutchinson looks on. The Grade 11 and 12 carpentry and joinery students worked on several woodwork projects that were installed in the park yesterday.

Student woodwork graces park

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

They are beautiful to the eye and pleasing to touch and hopefully several sundials, mason bee houses and a lawn swing and arbor built by Dr. Charles Best and Hillcrest middle school students will stand the test of time.

In short, they better not be vandalized.

The whimsical garden features were expected to be installed at Mundy Park yesterday (Thursday) and the students hope they will bring joy to park-goers for years to come.

“For us, we spent a whole semester making these objects. I hope people realize that ‘OK, people put time into this.’ It’s like having a friend, you don’t want to hurt a friend,” commented Filitche Hutchinson, a Grade 11 student who was one of several students who worked on the projects.

The projects grew out of a city of Coquitlam endeavor to engage students and, hope-

Dr. Charles Best students hold one of four sundials that were built from scratch and will be placed in various sunny areas in Mundy Park in Coquitlam. fully, mitigate future vandalism after a beloved picnic shelter at the west end of the park was destroyed by fire last spring.

Coquitlam donated $2,500 for materials, including dark Brazilian cherry wood, Douglas Fir and Western red cedar used in construction, and was expected to hold a modest ceremony to recognize the students’ work yes-

terday.

For the city, the project was a way of enhancing the popular park while also giving students pride of ownership. In a report to council, the city’s Kurt Houlden commented that the initiative was so successful, it could be a model for future partnerships with the school and, possibly, replicated throughout School District 43.

“It provides the woodworking students with an enhanced sense of ownership and pride in their contribution to the park while providing attractive amenities for the enjoyment of park visitors,”Houlden wrote.

Woodworking teacher Dave Jones agreed the projects seemed to instill a sense of pride in the students, at the same time as they developed new skills.

“I thought it would be great for the kids to get into a community project and to have that sense of accomplishment,”Jones said.

The students also learned a lot along the way.

The four sundials were particularly tricky to make because each of the 16 segments had to be perfectly cut and fitted to create the face that would accurately track the passage of the sun.

Positioning the sundial is also important, he said, as is making sure the gnomon which makes the shadow that marks the time is cut at the correct angle.

The sundials will be placed in the sunniest spots in the park: near the picnic shelter, Spani Pool, Lost Lake and the Mariner pathway.

Meanwhile, the mason bee houses made by Hillcrest students under the supervision of Dr. Charles Best students will be set up next spring while the lawn swing, cut, sanded, varnished and partially assembled, was to be erected near the re-built picnic shelters off Hillcrest Street Thursday with the help of teachers and city staff.

Once everything is in place, the garden furniture and bee houses are sure to delight, but the Charles Best students also have a message for potential vandals.

“They [the woodworking projects] should be given a little more respect,” Hutchinson said.

• Students who worked on the project included: Rhys Costin, Jackson Malicki, Luc Couture, Felitche Hutchinson and Kyle Jones and the teachers were Tony Papillo and Shawn House.

Spend money locally, says Tri-City chamber

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is planning an Invest Local campaign to convince shoppers to stay closer to home in the wake of reports suggesting crossborder shopping may be contributing to sluggish retail sales in B.C. Executive director Michael Hind confirmed the chamber is seeking a qualified professional to research and develop a business plan for an Invest Local campaign that could be rolled out as early as September.

“We’ve been hearing from members for the past little while and we want to do what we can to help,” Hind said.

The chamber has issued a request for proposal for a

The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is planning an Invest Local campaign to encourage shoppers to spend their money at home. company to develop a TriCities Invest Local campaign that promotes shopping in locally-owned and operated Tri-Cities businesses. It would also encourage people to invest in locally-managed

and governed charitable organizations.

Hind said the campaign would expand on what is already going on among businesses that source materials and donate locally but would

also present a business case about why it’s a good idea.

The chosen candidate will be expected to do the research to support the business case and develop a basic marketing plan, including a logo, communications methods, and a campaign kit for members.

Hind said that if consumers and businesses made a shift to buy just 10% of their goods in their local stores it could make a difference.

“I think we want to educate people. If you think local first and shift a little bit of spending to local retailers it goes along way,”Hind said.

According to the BC Business Council study published in May, B.C. residents spent an estimated $2.6 billion cross-border shopping in the U.S. last year. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The mechanical fitness of a dump truck involved in a collision with three vehicles on North Road Tuesday afternoon will likely be the subject of further investigation, says the Coquitlam RCMP. Th r e e p e o p l e we r e taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, two with serious but not life threatening injuries, after a dump truck traveling south on North Road jackknifed when the driver applied the brakes.

The truck then hit three northbound vehicles, according to Cpl. Jamie Chung.

No charges have been laid but traffic was diverted throughout Tuesday afternoon and into the evening to permit the Integrated the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service to investigate the crash that took place on the Coquitlam stretch of North Road at the New Westminster border.

The road didn’t reopen until 9:30 Tuesday night, Chung said.

Car aCCident

Two people are hurt after the car they were riding in was struck by an alleged street racer on Monday night.

Coquitlam RCMP say the driver of a BMW X5 collided with a Chrysler PT Cruiser that was turning onto Mariner Way from Como Lake Avenue, at around 9:30 p.m.

The two Cruiser occupants were rushed to hospital with injuries.

The drivers of the BMW and a Mazda MPV, who police say were racing north on Mariner Way from Austin Avenue and trying to pass each other eractically, have been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act for driving without due care; their vehicles were impounded for a week.

Casino robber

A 25-year-old Maple Ridge resident faces two charges after he allegedly tried to rob patrons at Coquitlam’s Boulevard Casino last week.

Mounties said a man tried to steal money from someone who was leaving the United Boulevard gaming venue before successfully robbing a second victim.

The suspect was then seen catching an eastbound bus to escape; however, with the help of casino security, Coquitlam RCMP alerted the Air 1 helicopter and the Coast Mountain Bus Company to track down the passenger, who was later arrested when the bus stopped at the Mary Hill bypass and Broadway Street.

Charged with two counts of robbery is Travis Storteboom, who is being held in custody until his next court appearance on Wednesday. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Learning to help children help themselves Strengths, are hosting a free workshop at Vancity in Port Coquitlam (see sidebar).

Little said she and Forward will provide some conversational opening gambits to help parents start the discus-

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

In the 2006 movie Failure to Launch, a couple turns to an “expert” to manipulate their 35-yearold son into finally leaving home.

But parents don’t have to resort to such tactics to set their kids off on the right path, said a career leadership coach who works with teens and young adults. In fact, simply asking questions and listening is a good way to start encouraging a young person to get educated, find a job and set out on the road to independence.

“In school, we live in a little sort of cocoon nest of support from parents and teachers and everybody is giving us ideas and we often push our kids in directions to make career decisions before they are ready to do it,” said Deb Little, a career coach with Inspired Strengths.

The result, she said, is high anxiety rates among students, disappointment and wasted time, money and energy when kids go to schools or jobs they don’t like.

Recent studies have shown that anxiety rates are high, especially among high school students, who feel pressured to know what they want to do, Little said. In fact, only about 2% of young people have identified their education and career path at a young age.

Adding to the mix is high unemployment rates among young people, notes Little, who points out that at 14% the youth unemployment rate is twice that of older adults.

With jobs so scarce, it’s important to target the right one and take the proper steps to land it.

Too often, Little said, people jump into a career only to find out that it was a poor fit, leading to stress and often health problems.

Statistics Canada backs this up. A recent report noted that the trend line is up for absenteeism in the work place from about 7% in 2001 to 8.4% in 2011.

“Eighty per cent of people that are employed are not happy with their job,” she said, a problem that leads to low self-esteem and other issues.

Little didn’t find her own career niche until she was 44 years old and wishes she had taken the advice she now gives to parents and others seeking help in career planning.

For parents wishing to help their kids on the right path, it starts with a gentle touch, she said.

Parents shouldn’t try to push or cajole their

“The anxiety is just so high they just shut down, they don’t communicate with their parents, they don’t communicate with anybody.”

Instead, she recommends simply opening the door to a conversation and letting the young person consider their career and school

choices based on their own aspirations and desires.

“We see our kids growing up and we see what their strengths are and we automatically think what we see is what our kids want.

But that’s not necessarily true. Until they ask the questions they aren’t going to know,”she said.

To help parents navigate this difficult territory, Little and her coaching partner, Barry Forward, also of Inspired

“What they are going to learn is in terms of how to keep the conversation going, in terms of not closing the door and hearing the kid say ‘you don’t understand me.’”

An artist gets ready to present her work at Place des Arts.

Place des Arts looks at expanding its facility

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

A major Coquitlam arts centre is looking to the future as it celebrates its 40th year.

This week, officials with Place des Arts spoke to the city’s council-in-committee about a needs assessment report that has been endorsed by its board of directors.

Consultants are recommending three options to increase programming space at the Maillardville facility, which last year drew

80,000 visits from students, teachers and other participants.

ROBERTS They are: • renovate and expand to a maximum allowable coverage under the current city zoning; • renovate and expand but on a smaller scale than Option 1; • o r r e l o c at e t o Coquitlam Town Centre.

Yesterday, executive director Joan Roberts

undertake a capital campaign readiness study to raise around $12 million for the expansion.

As well, Roberts said parking and signage problems need to be addressed.

Opened on Dec. 1, 1972, Place des Arts had humble beginnings in an old police station and courthouse near the former city hall.

Since then, it has grown from 26 arts teachers to 80 today, with a $2-million operating budget — about onethird coming from city coffers.

told The Tri-City News the board chose the first option as it didn’t want to move away from its Brunette Avenue site.

“We are part of the community,” she said, “and we have a very strong connection. That’s what makes us different from private organizations.”

Roberts said Place des Arts is in the process of creating short- and long-term visions for the cramped campus, which will require working closely with stakeholders and the city.

Firefighters apologize for prank

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam’s fire chief is satisfied with the way the Vancouver Fire Department handled a sexist prank directed towards a member of his team.

Two weeks ago Nick Delmonico intercepted a package directed toward a male PoCo fire captain that lampooned the recent hiring of two female firefighters, the

f i r s t since t h e early 1990s.

T h e anonymous DElmOnicO package c o n tained a card with some comments and some feminine hygiene products. Delmonico emailed the Vancouver chief about the package and sent it back to

him at his request.

“They [the two firefighters involved] came forward right away, stated that they did it and were very remorseful for what they did,”he said.

They were subsequently reprimanded and sent apologies to the Port Coquitlam and Vancouver fire departments. Vancouver fire chief John McKearny didn’t identify the firefighters involved, but

said their behaviour was“unacceptable.”

Delmonico said the situation would have been worse had the package been directed toward the two female recruits, but it was still a thoughtless prank and is a reminder that sexism still has to be dealt with.

“It’s a symptom of a bigger problem that’s an on going issue to deal with,”he said.

SOUPS ON: A culinary chef and partner is sought to help bring the Soup Sisters charity to the Tri-Cities. somebody who is going to give us their kitchen once a month,” she said.

“Every participant who wants to make soup for charity has to pay $50 — the money goes to the restaurant — the chef then buys ingredients to make the soup.”

There are many benefits to being a partner, she noted, including the opportunity to develop a new clientele, gain exposure and help vulnerable families in the Tri-Cities.

There’s something special about soup that signifies more than simply warm nourishment.

It’s the epitome of home cooking, it’s food for the soul and for a group of Tri-City women, making soup is a way to support vulnerable women and youth.

Tara McIntosh, a Port Moody mom, is hoping to start a local branch of the non-profit charity Soup Sisters. The organization started in 2009

by Calgarian Sharon Hapton and has groups in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and B.C., including one in Vancouver.

Volunteers meet once a month to make soup for shelters and other agencies but before a branch of Soup Sisters can start up here, McIntosh and her volunteers need to find a culinary partner that can provide a commercial kitchen and other support for the project.

“We partner up with a restaurant, or a golf club,

ipants and a chef or cook for supervision as well as shop for the soup ingredients. To find out more about Soup Sisters, visit www.soupsisters. org. To contact McIntosh, email her at taramc26@telus. net.

t’s officially summer and if you think it’s time to take a break from politics, public meetings and the like, think again.

The fun has just begun.

This week, for example, Port Moody finished up its last open house on its major overhaul of the city’s official community plan but you can still send in your thoughts via email (ocp@portmoody.ca.).

A giant new neighbourhood is taking shape in northeast Coquitlam and a public hearing on the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan will be held at city hall on Monday, June 24 at 7 p.m..

Meanwhile, in the west end of Coquitlam, an open house on the draft Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan is set for Thursday, June 27.

In each case, more density is planned that will change your city forever.

Sure, it’s summer and there are other things that grab your attention, but if you don’t get involved or fail to pay attention to what’s going on, you can’t complain if you don’t like the way things turn out.

Have provincial & municipal votes on same day AS I SEE IT Jordan Bateman

T

hink of it as an electoral echo. While many British Columbians are just getting over the election hangover from May’s blockbuster BC Liberal comeback win, 13 municipalities are about to head into byelection mode.

Four mayors and 10 councillors from 13 different communities were elected May 14th. A dozen BC Liberals, two New Democrats — all will need to be replaced in the coming weeks, triggering a series of expensive byelections.

Dan Ashton, who left the mayor’s office in Penticton after winning a seat as that community’s MLA, will pay for his byelection, having promised up to $35,000 to ensure taxpayers weren’t left with a big bill to replace him.

The other dozen communities facing byelections aren’t so lucky. Bills could range from several thousand dollars to replace Coun.

Jackie Tegart in Ashcroft to as much as half

a million to replace Coun. Marvin Hunt in Surrey. Langley City, Coquitlam, Dawson Creek, Pemberton, Oliver, Delta, Prince Rupert, Sicamous, Abbotsford and Pitt Meadows all had mayors or councillors elected to the legislature.

Some councils have talked internally about trying to avoid the expense by encouraging newly-minted MLAs to take unpaid leaves of absence until Jan. 1, when provincial law stipulates that by-elections no longer have to be held ahead of the usual November 2014 municipal election. While we would generally applaud cost-saving efforts at municipal halls, this is not the place to cheap out.

Democracy is always worth the money.

Taxpayers deserve to be fully represented and mid-term votes give a unique opportunity to focus on issues that can be overlooked in larger campaigns. But the issue of municipal politicians moving on to provincial politics isn’t a new one and it’s not going away.

Any municipal politician who stays on until Jan. 1, even on a leave of absence, may be in contravention of B.C.’s conflict of interest laws,

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

■

especially given the broader interpretation of the law brought down in a recent B.C. Court of Appeals judgment.

The simplest solution, long-term, is to marry municipal and provincial election dates. In 2017, for example, both levels of government have elections scheduled; this will rule out any costly by-elections for politicians changing jobs. Why not have these elections on the same day, with the same ballots?

There will be some logistical issues that need to be worked out, but they are manageable. For example, ensuring that voters get the correct ballots for provincial ridings that cross municipal borders. Elections B.C. will be needed to oversee these votes.

In the May election, the NDP promised to move the fixed election date to the fall of 2017, in order to allow preliminary numbers from the February budget to be available to taxpayers before they vote. This is one NDP plank the BC Liberals would be wise to embrace, as it would extend their term by six months with no fight from the opposition.

To keep election dates together, municipal

politician terms would need to be lengthened to four years. While not ideal to reduce the amount of democracy provided to local voters, this is supportable, as long as B.C.’s recall legislation is extended from MLAs to cover mayors, councillors and school trustees.

The one major snag would be what to do if the provincial government fell in a minority parliament. This has not happened since the 1950s but is always a possibility, especially if the Greens or Conservatives gain support. A provision could be made to allow such interim votes with a return to the regular electoral calendar as soon as possible.

While some may argue that the provincial campaign might overshadow local issues, the fact remains that only one in five eligible voters cast a ballot during municipal elections today. What we are doing now is not working.

By tying these election campaigns together, taxpayers can avoid more rounds of big byelection bills.

FACE TO FACE: Is fertilizer a suitable tool for dealing with homeless people?

Do more to help the homeless T

o start, I want to be clear and say that I do not condone the use of manure or fertilizer to drive homeless people from public property.

Last week, Port Coquitlam became the third community outed for using such a tactic.

According to reports, two bylaw enforcement officers spread fertilizer on a plot of land in an effort to keep a homeless man away from a trail situated near an elementary school.

I don’t condone it but I do understand it.

What else were these bylaw officers to do in the short term? They asked the man to leave — on several occasions — but he keeps coming back.

The question now becomes what do we do in the long-term? How do we stop homelessness so that our bylaw officers don’t have to make these unfortunate decisions?

I think we’re already doing a lot of the right things.

Kudos to city governments and community organizations in the Tri-Cities for spearheading shelter programs, developing outreach plans and for stocking food banks.

Because of their efforts, the number of homeless in the Tri-Cities is relatively low.

In Metro Vancouver, we’ve also seen positive statistics. From 2008 to 2011, the number of people who reported being“unsheltered”(i.e., living on the streets) decreased by a whopping 52%.

Yes, more needs to be done. We obviously need more money for affordable housing, mental health and addiction services. But I think we’re on the right track with the right mix of strategies.

One strategy that I’m sure my colleague failed to mention is a strong economy.

According to Charity Intelligence Canada, each year, 80% of homeless people in Canada are transitional homeless, people who lost their homes because they lost their jobs, just moved to a big city to find work or because they were evicted from their apartment.

The only way to help this segment is through job creation. That means saying yes to natural resource industries, yes to investing in businesses that create jobs and no to regressive tax policies touted by Jim’s buddies at the NDP. Thanks to free-enterprise governments federally and provincially, we have made progress on this issue.

That said, we have to do more.

None of us want to see a repeat of the fertilizer incident.

A crappy way to treat people S

PoCo Mayor Greg Moore was Come to ou forced tordefend the city’s empathy

urely our response to the homeless can’t be to dump disgusting substances on the places where they pitch their tents. Despite transparent attempts to minimize it, that’s what happened in Port Coquitlam.

PoCo joined other ham-handed MetroVancouver cities when bylaw manager Dan Scoones revealed that unnamed bylaw officials dumped “a peat moss-like fertilizer”on a spot near the Coquitlam River where a homeless man sometimes camped.

What’s that? Is it a benign, sweetsmelling organic material completely unlike the nauseating chicken manure recently used by Abbotsford and Surrey to scare away their homeless?

The waste was generally referred in the media as“chicken fertilizer.”

Clearly the manure being spread around in PoCo wasn’t limited to this homeless person’s hovel.

What a pathetic attempt to distance themselves from Abbotsford and Surrey, who were mercilessly vilified for similar actions.

The real manure here is that Abbotsford, Surrey and PoCo don’t know which bylaw officers were responsible for spreading these excretory outrages.

Mr. Scoones says he wasn’t aware of the action, although he can and has recited chapter and verse the many frustrations that led to the attempt to

stink out this homeless person.

Seniors Resource Fair

for the homeless. “We’ve seen an incredible decrease in homeless residents in Port Coquitlam. We deal with them with respect,”said the mayor.

Clearly, spreading fertilizer on a homeless man’s shelter doesn’t qualify as treating the homeless with respect.

I believe Mayor Moore’s sentiments are genuine, but this incident sets PoCo’s credibility in this area back 10 years.

I agree with my get-a-job colleague that homelessness is exasperating.

Main and Hastings is a disgrace, as are other gathering areas of the homeless. We need to get people off the streets.

If we had sufficient addiction rehabilitation facilities, mental health services and housing, it might make sense to enact vagrancy or “no sleeping in the streets” laws to get people off the streets.

But until then, Mr. Scoones’ idea of “empowering our staff to be creative and solve problems”can’t ever excuse driving away the homeless with noxious substances.

It’s time to name those responsible and fire them, then autocratically disempower everyone else from similar “creative”solutions.

Conservation frustrations The Editor, Has the B.C. Ministry of Environment’s Conservation Office gone completely mad?

I am absolutely beside myself with anger that they and the RCMP can be so callous in their treatment of these bears.

It’s bad enough already that conservation officers arbitrarily kill these animals in more public areas where there is no justification because they can’t determine whether they are aggressive or not — and now they’re disposing of them near a park?

Why don’t they just go into the park and eliminate them there? That way you wouldn’t have to deal with them later.

This is not conserva-

tion as title dictates — it’s wildlife elimination that best describes what they are paid to do.

If bears aren’t even safe outside a park, where they showed only aggressiveness towards themselves, then no wild animal is safe.

Conservation Officers and the Ministry of Environment need to wake up and quit worrying about the public so much and do what it takes to save the wildlife instead of trying to demolish it.

If conservation officials can’t do this then they should quit their job and go work at a place that doesn’t require any thinking.

SD43 should not sell off school land for housing The Editor, Re: “More consulta tio n ordered o n Parkland” (The Tri-City News, June 12) We have lived on Poirier Street since July 1959 and our five children attended Parkland.

We were so shocked

to hear of School District 43’s plans to sell off 1.26 acres for housing.

This school is used heavily for sports. Where are the children going to play?

As for the statement that a “thorough consultation” was done, I don’t

believe it. We never received a hand delivered letter (or any other kind) to inform us of their plans.

We only found out when it was all settled in April through an article in your paper. We are definitely against this

plan. No school property should be sold off to try and balance their budget, which they should have seen was out of control.

If they can’t do a better job of handling our money they should all resign immediately.

I am so glad that the parents at Porter Street elementary stood their ground and had those plans cancelled.

Now if only the parents of Parkland would do the same.

Centennial property eyed continued from front page

The other three sites are: • the parking lot west of Dogwood Pavilion; • Eagle Ridge field; • and Town Centre Park, off Pipeline Road.

Chris Wilson, who was at Tuesday’s meeting on behalf of the Sports Centre Users Group, said the Centennial parking lot — at the corner of Poirier Street and Winslow Avenue, across the road from Centennial secondary — is an ideal location given its proximity to the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex, Chimo Pool, Poirier community centre and Dogwood Pavilion, a seniors’ centre.

Dogwood West was ruled out because of security concerns while sports groups turned down Eagle Ridge due to the electrical and flooding issues with the field.

And Town Centre Park — designated by the city as a festival site — is already jammed, he said.

The Centennial property was a near unanimous vote by sporting

officials bec a use “it would create really positive synergies in the area,” Hodge Wi l s o n s a i d , a d d i n g , “ Yo u couldn’t wipe the smile off my face at the meeting. This has been a longtime coming.”

Wilson said pressure is mounting for available dry floor space that would accommodate not just sports such as lacrosse, ball hockey and soccer but also community activities like the farmers’ market.

Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of the city’s sports council, said the city hasn’t added any dryfloor space in 38 years despite the population doubling.

Parking will be lost for Centennial Pavilion, he acknowledged; however, users could also park their vehicles in surrounding city-owned lots. As well, Centennial is along a transit route, making it more accessible than the other three locations.

Coq. applies for Senior Games

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam will submit its formal bid package next week to host the BC Seniors Games in 2016 — the same year the city is celebrating its 125th anniversary and the Evergreen Line is expected to be running to Town Centre Park.

On Monday, council-in-committee reviewed the application for the Games that typically sees thousands of participants from around the province compete in sports such as cycling, golf, swimming, track and field, archery and darts. The last time the BC Seniors Games were held in Coquitlam was in 1991 when Coun. Lou Sekora was mayor.

Besides the numerous Coquitlam facilities, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Maple Ridge are also offering venues, should Coquitlam be named host in September by the BC Seniors Games Society Board.

PoCo’s arena dry floor and the Wilson Centre would be used for carpet bowling while softball would be played at McLean Park; Port Moody has made available Rocky Point Park for dragon boating and the rec complex for pickleball while Maple Ridge has its equi-sport centre for equestrian contests.

The annual event, estimated to cost around $500,000, will be held in Kamloops this August.

Under a new plan, transit riders could pay more for travelling during peak travel periods.

The plan is expected to include billions of dollars to build rapid transit lines in Surrey to Guildford, Langley and White Rock, as well as the Broadway line west to UBC. Once it’s in place, TransLink, mayors and the province will have to draw up a proposal for how to fund the upgrades that would be put to a referendum in the fall of 2014.

The referendum was an election promise of Premier Christy Clark, who also said during the campaign that she opposes making drivers pay to use existing roads or bridges.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said TransLink’s intent to raise up to $23 billion, presumably funded in part through road pricing, is “far too ambitious” even for an aspirational plan.

TransLink’s draft document said pricing can cut congestion at peak times while offering users a choice.

“Those who choose to forego a trip, bundle some trips together, travel at a less busy time, use a less busy route or travel by another mode will be rewarded with savings in time and money,”the report said.

Paddon added that Tr a n s L i n k ’ s n e w Compass card system could make it possible to emulate Washington D.C., where subway riders pay based on both the distance travelled and by the time of day.

“The farther you go, the more you pay,” Paddon said. “And if you want to go at the peak of rush hour you pay more.”

He said airlines also make passengers pay more for the last seats

as a plane fills up, while offering discounts to sell seats on underused routes or at less popular times.

Drivers will respond to price signals, he suggests, pointing to the success of the #555 bus over the new Port Mann Bridge. Its initial ridership has doubled — it now averages 73% full — as 1,600 passengers a day ride over the bridge without paying the new toll.

TransLink also wants cities to step up.

Better land use can gradually put more people and their destinations closer to transit routes.

With more people able to ride transit, planners reckon, average trip distances can be reduced by one third.

Once the 2045 strategy is approved, TransLink is to develop a 15-year plan of new transportation investments this fall.

Premier Clark cancels raises for political staff

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark has rolled back salary increases for political staff, after getting an earful from voters.

Clark told reporters Wednesday that salary increases for her chief of staff and new positions with the same title in ministers’ offices will not go ahead.

“I have heard a lot from British Columbians

never accepted any raise, but recommended the maximum for his position be increased to $230,000 to attract the best candidate for his successor.

The top rate for ministry chiefs of staff, formerly ministerial assistants, will remain at $94,500 a year. The top rate for them was first increased to $105,000, then rolled back to $102,000 before being cancelled. Five of the

chief of staff, Michele Cadario, hired for the premier’s office after serving as deputy campaign manager for the B.C. Liberal election campaign. Cadario will receive a salary of $195,148 to do the operations and policy roles formerly done by two people.

Dan Doyle, Clark’s chief of staff, remains at the same salary as Cadario. A government spokesman said Doyle

in the last week about this issue of changing the pay scales and pay levels for political staff, so today I am rescinding those changes, because leadership means listening to people,” Clark said. “Although the original change would have meant we were underspending the budget by $100,000, I’ve heard loud and clear that people didn’t like it.”

The lone exception is Clark’s new deputy

people appointed to those jobs have had raises cancelled.

NDP leader Adrian Dix, contacted in Kelowna where he is campaigning in a byelection where Clark hopes to win a seat, said the raises show the government is “tone deaf” to the concerns of ordinary people.

Dix said the decision to scrap the raises is “the first victory for Carole Gordon,” the NDP can-

didate in the WestsideKelowna byelection.

Gordon is running in the byelection called for July 10, after Clark was defeated by NDP candidate David Eby in a bid to retain her VancouverPoint Grey seat.

In the May 14 general election, Gordon lost by nearly a two-to-one margin to B.C. Liberal incumbent Ben Stewart, who resigned last week to allow Clark to run. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Wheelchair fees policy in place since 2010 Authorities waited until after election to impose charges, says NDP leader Jeff Nagel BlAck Press

tri-city newS file photo

NDP leader Adrian Dix said the province had three years to impose new fees for wheelchair rentals but waited until after the election. policy manual outlining allowable fees for residents in care, saying the health authorities are now coming into line with that change.

Except that there was no change.

The provision for fees on “chargeable items” such as wheelchairs and canes already existed with identical wording in earlier April 2011 and January 2010 versions of the Home and Community Care policy manual.

“The 2010 and 2011 policies contain the same sections, using the same language, delivering the same meaning on what the health authorities could charge for a wheelchair,” B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix said.

“What we’re seeing is Fraser Health responding to the government’s unbalanced budget – after the election, of course, which presumably was part of the instructions – and impos-

its facilities after Sept. 1 “will be required to purchase or rent equipment from an external supplier.”

Vicki Huntington, the independent MLA for Delta South, on Monday said that could mean much steeper charges – wheelchairs rent privately for $75 to $100 a month.

But Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said new residents

will still be able to borrow health authority wheelchairs at the $25 per month cost, subject to availability.

Juma called it a misunderstanding, noting that it has always been the expectation that residents purchase or rent wheelchairs externally if they have the means, while facility wheelchairs are available for those who can’t.

Fraser Health intends

to begin charging the fee Sept. 1, as announced, Juma said.

That allows nearly three months for residents who can’t afford it to apply for a hardship waiver, she said.

Juma said new residents are also being notified so it won’t come as a surprise.

Huntington renewed her calls for the province to step in and kill the planned fee.

ince are imposing the fee, Jabs said the decision to charge is up to the health authorities but they are all working with the ministry “to ensure that charges for allowable extras are coordinated province-wide.”

The rationale for the charge is that residential care is a person’s home, Jabs said, and while the public health system covers the cost of medical and health care needs, care home residents should pay for personal equipment and supplies as they would if they lived in the community.

A wheelchair rental fee being imposed by Lower Mainland health authorities in residential care homes has no precedent in B.C. after all, nor any clear reason for its timing.

Health ministry officials have backtracked on their initial claim the planned $25 a month fee for seniors in publicly run residential care homes is already in place in some areas outside the Lower Mainland.

In fact, the Northern, Interior and Vancouver Island health authorities have been considering a similar fee, but have yet to impose one nor have they gone as far as issuing notifications to residents, as Fraser Health has done.

The fee is to recoup the cost of maintaining wheelchairs that until now have been provided for free at publicly operated care homes to residents who don’t have their own. Many privately operated care homes have had such fees for years.

And it remains unclear what has triggered the move now.

Ministry officials previously pointed to an Oct. 2012 update of a

Dix said it’s “symbolically remarkable” that the fees have come while senior government staff are getting large raises (those raises have since been rescinded) and said it’s “disrespectful and laughable” for Fraser Health to treat wheelchair access as a fee-forservice item like cable TV in a seniors’ home.

Ministry spokesman Ryan Jabs maintained the 2011 and 2012 revisions clarified the manual and made it clear no one will be denied a wheelchair if they can’t afford to pay the fee.

Variety of plaques mark historic spots in Coquitlam F

or years, the Coquitlam Heritage Society has been leading walking tours through historic Maillardville. Offered in both French and English, the tours focus on the unique stories associated with our heritage houses.These vintage gems demonstrate Coquitlam’s pragmatic and hardworking past as much of Maillardville was developed to house Fraser Mills workers and their families.

But the houses also remind us of the small, anecdotal snippets of dayto-day life that make history come alive and often make us smile.

A city of Coquitlam Spirit Grant provided an outstanding opportunity for the Coquitlam Heritage Society to recognize these houses with beautiful, informative, bronze plaques in English and French.

It was not, however, as straightforward as it seemed.

Let’s start with some examples of sites selected for plaques.

The Beaubien House, located at 1125 Cartier Ave., is named for the brothers who built it.

Some say the Beaubien House (sometimes spelled Beaubiens) is the location of the neighbourhood’s first bakery. Actually, the bakery was in the shed adjacent to the house and lasted there until 1927 before moving to Marmont Street and James Avenue.

Between fires and the re-location, contention remains about the bakery story. One thing is certain, bakery or not, the house is an original and boasts a spectacular view down the hill and out to the river, a view that looked very different in 1917 when we think the house was built (there’s some small debate on the date, too).

Down the street from the Beaubien House is the remarkable stone wall that surrounds Place Maillardville. It’s a solid river rock wall (not today’s facade of manufactured flat-sided composite stuck on to plywood) and was entirely built by hand. Constructed in 1929, it was a makework project of the Depression years. Built entirely by the Girardi family, it surrounded their land and was entirely of rocks from the property.

Mary Louise Malfet (née Girardi) describes how the family’s younger children washed each rock by hand before passing them over to the older members of the crew to set the stones.

Today, the Girardi site and Laval Square is dominated by Our Lady of Lourdes Church.

Lourdes was not the first church built on this site, although it certainly looks like it could be.The current church was built in 1937 on the foundation of the original church, which was built in 1910 and burned to the ground.

The Beaubien House, the Girardi family wall and Our Lady of Lourdes all have heritage plaques detailing their dates and significance.The intent is to mark Coquitlam’s historic buildings in a celebratory and descriptive way.The plaques are offered at no cost to the recipients and assistance with mounting is offered.

Of the three plaques described above, only one is mounted at the time this is written.

Some unanticipated contentions have emerged.The church is considering the“liturgical implications”of mounting the plaque.

Coquitlam Heritage Society is awaiting a decision from the local priest on this.

The Beaubien House will be mounting its plaque very soon (we hope).The current owners were not originally convinced of the veracity of the information on the plaque; this is not surprising given all the threads that run through the neighbourhood stories (with very little documented). Fortunately, in the case of the Place Maillardville wall, the Girardi family had a family member who knew their story well and assisted us to capture it.

More plaques are in the works for Maillardville, specifically on Cartier and Marmont, and maybe beyond. We are having some challenges locating residents and convincing them of the value of a plaque. We are knocking on doors, writing letters and offering assistance and flexibility with mounting. We are hoping for success with Vancouver Golf Club and Minnekhada Lodge but from our experiences so far, we are not counting our achievements yet.

Although this program hasn’t experienced the smooth sailing we envisioned when we wrote the grant application, we did have some early successes and it is important to note them. Mackin House, Place des Arts and the Booth Farm House on Brunette Avenue all have plaques firmly mounted by their front doors.

The Booth Farm House is one of the oldest houses in Coquitlam and the farm supplied the local area with all their dairy needs in the early

Maillardville French camps run July 2-Aug. 23 The 15th edition of the Maillardville Coquitlam French summer camp is scheduled for July 2 to Aug. 23 in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam.

The camp — for children six to 12 years who

have at least one year of French immersion — is hosted by Société francophone de Maillardville in partnership with Canadian Parents for French, Tri-Cities Chapter, at two schools:

• The first four weeks of the camp (July 2 to 26) will be held weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Sir Frederick Banting middle school, 820 Banting St., Coquitlam.

• Th e n e x t f o u r

weeks (July 29 to Aug. 23) will be held, same time on weekdays, at École des Pionniers de Maillardville, 3550 Wellington St., Port Coquitlam.

For information on be-

For more information and to register, call 604515-7070.

Over the last 15 years, Maillardville French

summer camp as been a place for fun in French for more than 6,000 kids and the camp experience is a bridge for children to keep up their French skills between school years. Most monitors are

the product of French immersion schools in the Tri-Cities area.

The camp offers activities related to arts, sports, culture, history and more, and every Friday, a field trip is planned.

Share drug ed. sessions Share Family and Community Services’ Alcohol and Drug Program is hosting a free education series that runs through July.

The program runs Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Share (2615 Clarke St., Port Moody) and is open to everyone in the Tri-Cities and will have important information for those who have an alcohol or drug problem, or for those concerned about their use. It will help those people affected by others’ use to understand addicts and addictive behaviour.

Coquitlam’s ice age? A PoCo science teacher has the fossils More than 16,000 years ago, Coquitlam was buried under two km of ice.

And Erica Williams has the fossils to prove it.

“It is hard to imagine today, when one looks at the Lower Mainland and sees the human impact on the land — houses, factories, parks, and highways, that 16,000 years ago the Lower Mainland did not even exist,” said Williams, a science educator at Riverside secondary school in Port Coquitlam.

In the mid-1970s, she discovered more than 20 species of marine fossils along Mariner Way, an area that is today a bus stop.

How did these creatures get there?

W hy w e r e t h e r e beaches in Coquitlam?

How did the ice age affect how Coquitlam looks today?

The public can poke through Williams’ fossil collection at the Coquitlam Heritage Society’s annual general meeting next Wednesday (June 26) at

Butterflies to our gardens IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

W

e are slowly learning the true value of insects in our gardens, as friends, pollinators and natural predators for some of our more troublesome pests. Others, like butterflies, also add an element of grace and beauty to our gardens.

The downside of attracting any insect to our gardens is the appetites of their larval stage.They need certain plants for food and reproduction. If you can stand a few nibbles out of your plants and can tolerate caterpillars climbing along branches, then you’re halfway there.You will also have to reduce your use of insecticides and rely more on organic products to control pest problems.

The provincial backyard habitat program has pamphlets that specify butterflies’ needs. Butterflies and moths go through the miraculous process of metamorphosis in their life cycle from egg, to larva, to pupa, to adult.The larval stage may not be as attractive as the beautiful adult flitting from flower to flower,

but to have butterflies, we must have caterpillars first. Each species lays its eggs on specific plants - those on which its caterpillars must feed.

The caterpillar of the Anise Swallowtail butterfly, for instance, feeds on members of the carrot family such as parsley, fennel, carrot, dill, and Queen Anne’s Lace.

Other Swallowtail larvae require the leaves of aspen, poplar, willow, alder and ash. Swallowtail larvae are a solitary variety, rather than the social ones that appear in large groups.These larvae can be rather alarming in appearance, developing through four moults as they eat, grow, and expand out of their skin to an eventual size of four centimetres. If you find some larvae in your garden, consider them a special gift — not a threat.

Soon they will complete their metamorphosis and become beautiful butterflies.

Violet leaves are the larval food for Fritillary butterflies. If you notice them being chewed and rolled around caterpillars, don’t be too speedy in removing the damaged leaves. Fritillaries winter as tiny caterpillars, so allow the leaves to die back naturally without trimming.

The Red Admiral and Tortoiseshell butterflies require

nettles for their larval food. If you can tolerate a corner with a few of these plants, you will be providing butterfly habitat.

Adult butterflies also need moist, muddy spots and warm rocks on which to sun.These features could be added easily to a habitat garden.

Keep in mind, however, that butterflies and moths are very vulnerable to cats, and a protected location is important.

The added bonus of attracting butterflies is the fact that they share many of the same plants as hummingbirds. By attracting one, you are also bringing the other to your garden.

In the evening, you can even attract night-flying moths by planting a white garden using pastel flowers and evening-blooming plants like nicotiana and eveningscented stocks (Matthiola).These moths are not the ones that enter your home and eventually get into carpets and clothes.The larval stage of many moths are the orange and black striped ‘woolly bear’ and ‘fuzzy yellow bear’ caterpillars which are garden friends.

Even though we have to make a few important adjustments to the traditional way we garden, attracting butterflies to our gardens is both an interesting and environmentally friendly activity.

Appia Developments to release second phase at SOLO District

Living among the clouds at Altus Appia Developments’ SOLO District will add another gem to the neighbourhood when it launches sales of its newest phase on June 22. Altus will be the tallest building in Burnaby at 550 feet, with office space on the first 14 floors and residential from 200 feet up.

“The views start from the bottom (residential) floor,” says Appia Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell.

SOLO District (which stands for South Of Lougheed) welcomed Altus with a preview event on June 15 that had many potential buyers visit the SOLO District Presentation Centre to see what Altus has to offer. With condominium homes ranging from

approximately 516 to about 1,700 square feet in a variety of floorplans, it won’t be hard to find your perfect home. Something that sets Altus apart are the choices it offers for threebedroom units, which is something buyers have been asking for and Appia is happy to be able to provide in this new phase of SOLO District.

In the homes themselves, you’ll find imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry and polished quartz countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms, along with laminate flooring in the living areas, nine-foot

living or play space. The master ensuite features a huge stand-alone claw-foot tub made for relaxing after a day on the slopes, along with a gorgeous walk-in shower with rain shower head.

The kids and even adult guests will enjoy the bunk room that holds four bunk beds and plenty of space to play. A pool table is part of the prize package, furnished by Coast Spas Lifestyles. The furniture and accessories are also part of the home, from Lane Home Furnishings. The winner will also receive appliances from Coast Wholesale Appliances, luxurious outdoor furnishings from American Home & Patio, a $2,500 grocery package from IGA and one year of house cleaning from Mini Maid.

One of the most impressive parts of the home is the contemporary glass walk-in wine cellar in the foyer. A glass

of wine from your own private cellar will be the perfect way to end your day on the hill. Faliszewski also notes that there is an indoor-outdoor fireplace in the greatroom that you’ll want to curl up in front of at the end of the day.

“The deck (on the lower floor) wraps all the way around the outside of the house,” he says. “You can walk through the main rooms and then into your bedroom.”

Tickets for the home can be purchased online, via phone at 604252-3688 or toll-free at 1-877-946-4663 or at the Fair at the PNE itself between Aug. 17 and Sept. 2. The winner will be drawn on Sept. 5. You can preview the home between July 12 and 14, July 21, July 28, and Aug. 4.

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.pne.ca/ pneprizehome.

‘Perfect for entertaining’

PNE Prize Home an iconic B.C. tradition

By Kerry Vital

The PNE Prize Home has been around since 1934 and is an integral part of the annual summer event. Now, the 2013 home is showcasing exactly why everyone loves this lottery.

“We’re really excited about this year’s home,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance. “This is the most affordable home lottery in British Columbia and there’s a lot of anticipation around it.”

For the second year in a row, the home is being decorated by interior designer Jillian Harris. She has starred on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, hosted Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is currently co-hosting Love It or List It Vancouver.

“Jillian did a fantastic job last year,” Ballance says. “It’s (wonderful) to have her back.”

This year’s home is over 3,000 square feet, designed and built by Britco. After someone wins it, it will be relocated to Sun Peaks Resort.

“It’s a fun project for us,” says Tom Faliszewski, manager of special projects for Britco. “The Fair at the PNE is an iconic event in Vancouver, and the Prize Home is a historic tradtion synonymous with The Fair.”

The home is built in an open-plan style, with a large greatroom and French doors to the exterior decks.

“It’s perfect for entertaining,” Faliszewski says. “It has a very spacious feel to it and feels much larger than it is.”

He’s not exaggerating. With its 10-foot ceilings on the main floor and nine-foot ceilings on the upper floor, the home feels incredibly open and airy.

Once relocated, the home will be right next door to last year’s PNE Prize Home, also built by Britco. The location is truly one of the best parts of the home, since it will feature stunning views over the ski and snowboard trails, surrounding mountains and valley.

“We try to do something different every year,” Faliszewski says. This year, Britco decided to put the master bedroom on the main floor, and include a huge upper deck on the second floor with a hot tub and a covered area that Faliszewski says is almost like a completely separate

“

We’re really excited about this year’s home,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance.

The home was designed by interior designer Jillian Harris again this year, and is spectacular as always. Among the features are a contemporary glass wine cellar, top, an indoor-outdoor fireplace, above with Harris, and a luxurious claw-foot tub in the master bathroom, left.

SOLO District to change the landscape of Burnaby SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre.

“There are so many things around here,” Murrell says. “It’s just perfect.”

The proximity to downtown Vancouver is also one of the highlights of SOLO District, especially for those looking to commute or if you’re just in the mood to sample the nightlife.

Homes at Altus start at $293,900. For more information about Altus and SOLO District, visit www.solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

Altus will feature a rooftop amenity space called Club 55, above, that will include an outdoor deck space, full kitchen and media area among other things. The tower will be the tallest in Burnaby at 550 feet, right.

ceilings and a full-size stacking washer/dryer. The bathrooms also have luxurious soaker tubs (with an enclosed glass shower in some ensuites) and large porcelain floor tiles and wall tile tub surround.

All of the homes at SOLO will be heated and cooled via geothermal heat exchange, which uses stored energy from the earth and is incredibly efficient. FortisBC notes that buyers will see great cost savings compared to conventional buildings, and less maintenance will be required, which will lend homeowners greater peace of mind.

Part of the appeal is the huge amenity space that Appia is calling Club 55 with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and billiards and ping-pong tables and generous outdoor deck space all for residents of Altus, to be located on the top floor

of the tower. The office tower will include a gym that residents have access to as well, and a multi-sport court on the third floor.

SOLO District itself is one of the most exciting properties in the Lower Mainland real estate market. It will eventually be comprised of four stunning residential towers and over 1,400 homes. Construction is currently ongoing at the first phase, Stratus, with future phases Cirrus and Aerius to come. The community will also include Burnaby’s first Whole Foods, commercial opportunities, office space and tons of green space.

“There are several other exciting anchor tenants to be announced,” says Murrell. “This is a very, very cool community.”

Walkability was one of the more important aspects, Murrell says.

“There’s everything you could possibly need here,” she notes.

“It’s been really well-received by the community.”

Before buying compare space & water heating costs When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money.

Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared standard-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric furnace and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of May 2013 ($9.35/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.071 and $0.109 per kWh).

It was a Tri-City rival match when Coquitlam met Port Coquitlam in the peewee A1 final of the Pop Style Box Lacrosse Tournament on Sunday. Coquitlam took an early lead in the match but PoCo was able to crawl its way back into the lead and won the tournament.

Early lead helps Adanacs take victory over Thunder

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The roaring Langley Thunder were reduced to a whimper Wednesday night, when the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League club visited the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs Tuesday night.

The A’s wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard, building a

a large lead before most fans at the Poirier Sports and Recreation Complex were able to get to their seats.

Steven Neufeld opened the scoring under one minute into the game and Coquitlam did not look back, racking up five more goals and taking a 6-0 lead into the first intermission.

It only took Adanac

player Wesley Berg one period to score two goals and two assists, but the 20-year-old right-hander was not finished putting up the points.

He added a goal in the second period and two more assists in the third to finish the night with seven points.

While the Adanacs took a 9-2 lead into the final period, Langley

began to show some signs of life in the third.

Brett Dobray was able to spark his team with a power play marker, while Brandon Bull scored a hat trick in the final minutes of the game.

However, it was not enough to rally the team and Langley eventually fell 13-8.

Coquitlam Reds continue to climb up PBL standings Team manages to win two of last three

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Some late inning offence helped the Coquitlam Reds take down the North S h o r e Tw i n s o n

Tuseday night.

The Twins were the first to get on the board after Geoff Ehresman batted Mitch Grisbrook home in the top of the second inning.

Coquitlam kept their patience in the innings that followed, keeping Twins runners from advancing.

But in the fifth the

Reds were able to tie the game when Hayden Jaco took advantage of an error by the shortstop to advance to home plate.

Two more runs in the sixth, this time from Brandon Becking and T.J. McCullough, and the game was won for Coquitlam see NANAIMO, page 43

Wanna shoot some hoops in PoCo?

Tuesday night was the second win in a row for the home team.

The Reds defeated the Vancouver Cannons 8-5 on Sunday afternoon, taking a commanding lead in the first few innings.

Coquitlam put three runs on the board in the first, and added two more in the second to make it 5-0. Two more in the third and a single in the fourth gave the Reds an 8-0 lead before Vancouver could even get on the boat.

But the Cannons were not silenced yet.

In the top of the sixth inning the club put up five runs of their own and the Reds barely escaped the game with the win.

Vancouver had defeated the Coquitlam

squad earlier in the afternoon in the first part of a doubleheader.

That contest saw the Reds’ bats dry up, with the team managing only one run in the fifth, while Vancouver was able to take a 3-1 win.

The Reds are currently in fourth place in the PBL with a 22-16 record, ahead of the Abbotsford Cardinals who are 16-12.

Coquitlam is behind the first-place Langley Blaze (35-6), the second-place Victoria Mariners (23-10) and the third place North Shore Twins (22-10).

The Reds play again on Saturday at Mundy Park where they will take on the Nanaimo Pirates in a doubleheader that begins at 1 p.m.
