‘Not the smartest’ to snap bears’ pix Coquitlam road closed for safety By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Oliver Road to Minnekhada Park has been closed until further notice over safety concerns after several people were seen harassing bears in the area. Many bruins venture into the northeast Coquitlam neighbourhood this time of year, where numerous berry crops are set to be harvested. Cody Ambrose, a conservation officer with the Ministry of Environment, said this has led to an increase in visitors, some of who have been seen chasing the animals. “We don’t want people harassing the wildlife and that is ultimately what is happening down there,” he said. “They try and approach the bears to get that better picture. “It is a safety issue... People aren’t the smartest when they are approaching the bears.” He added that as a bear becomes more accustomed to seeing humans, they are less likely to return to the wild and forage for natural food sources.

TransLink referendum in spring? Province, mayors to decide question By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
A referendum on new taxes or tolls for TransLink that will decide the pace of transit expansion may come sooner than a promised date of November 2014 to separate the contentious debate from the next municipal elections. The province now says
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Metro mayors don’t want a referendum on transit funding. that’s the latest the vote can be held — not necessarily the date — but there are serious doubts over whether a referendum as early as next
spring is feasible. Richard Walton, chair of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, said it would take a speedy resolution of nu-
merous issues in the next few months, including a promised overhaul of TransLink governance to give mayors more control over spending. And he said it would be impossible to work out the permutations of a highly advanced new funding source like road pricing, which could charge motorists distance-based fees that might vary by time of day. “This is a pretty brief window,” he said Wednesday. “To try to do
what other jurisdictions took seven years to do in 10 months and have a chance at public support is really difficult.” Walton has asked the new transportation minister but still has no answers on what the referendum question might be, who will pay the costs of holding the vote and educating the public on the options, or where money raised from a new source would go. see REGION RISKS, page 9

Don’t drench your grass – it’s not needed and it’s not legal Lawns only need an hour a week of sprinkling: Metro
WAYS TO SAVE WATER
• A healthy lawn only needs to be watered for one hour per week — even less if it rains. • Let your lawn go dormant during the summer. • Most lawns only need 2.5 cm of water each week. Put an empty tuna can on the lawn when you sprinkle and turn off the tap when the can is full. • Reduce evaporation by keeping your glass clippings on the lawn and mulch in your garden.
By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Leaving your lawn sprinklers on for hours at a time is not only wasteful, it is unnecessary. With high temperatures gripping the region, Metro Vancouver and the city of Port Coquitlam are asking residents to conserve water by reducing how much they dump on their grass. An hour a week is all the average lawn needs at a time of year when water use almost doubles, according to a city press release. Metro Vancouver has also imposed lawn sprinkling restrictions that apply throughout the TriCities. Between now and Sept. 30, even-numbered residential homes are permitted to sprinkle their lawns between 4 and 9 a.m. on Mondays, We d n e s d a y s a n d Saturdays; odd-numbered residences may sprinkle during the same

Metro Vancouver and the city of Port Coquitlam say a healthy lawn only needs one hour of watering per week — and even less when it rains. Metro regulations restricting watering are being enforced throughout the Tri-Cities. time period on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Even-numbered commercial properties may sprinkle lawns between 1 and 6 a.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays while odd-numbered proper-
ties may water their grass during the same time period on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All non-residential properties may sprinkle between 4 and 9 a.m. on Fridays and new lawns require a permit
from the municipality in order to be exempt from the restrictions. Exceptions to the sprinkling regulations include flower and vegetable gardens, decorative planters, shrubs
and trees. Residents are also allowed to wash their cars or boats with a spring-loaded shut off nozzle. According to Metro Vancouver, one hour of lawn sprinkling uses as
much water as 25 toilet flushes, five loads of laundry and five dishwasher loads combined. For more information on the city of Port Coquitlam’s water restrictions go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/sprinkling or by calling 604-927-5420. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Stay cool, hydrated in heat: Health Canada health Canada urges precautions during hot times Summer is in full swing, with the Tri-Cities and Metro Vancouver experiencing hot weather and even some high humidity. Such conditions across the country have prompted Health Canada to issue a reminder for Canadians to take appropriate action to protect themselves from extreme heat. Those most at risk from heat illnesses are the very young, older adults, those who are active in the heat, people with pre-existing health conditions or taking med-
Fire danger on rise The fire danger rating in the city of Port Moody has been upgraded to high after a weeklong heat wave dried most of the forest surface in the municipality’s surrounding area. “A discarded cigarette or a spark from a campfire or bonfire into these fuels will most likely result in a fire start,” said the city on its website. “An onshore breeze or an outflow wind added to any small fire could potentially see rapid growth.” Construction workers are advised to use extra caution and have fire suppression equipment on hand when welding, grinding or cutting steel near grassy or forested areas. As well, people who live next to forested areas should be careful with barbecues or any other sources of fire such as cigarettes. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
ication, and those without access to air conditioning. According to Health
Canada, signs and symptoms of heat stroke and heat exhaustion include:
• dizziness or fainting; • nausea or vomiting; • headache; • rapid breathing and heartbeat; • extreme thirst (dry mouth or sticky saliva); • decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine; • changes of behaviour in children (like sleepiness or temper tantrums). If you or someone in your care experiences any of these symptoms during extreme heat, move to a cool place immediately and drink cool liquids. Water is best. Call 911 immediately if you see someone who is either unconscious, confused or has stopped sweating. How to protect yourself from extreme heat:
• If you have a health condition or are taking medication, ask your pharmacist or doctor if this increases your health risk in the heat. • Visit neighbours, friends and older family members to make sure they’re cool and hydrated. • Drink plenty of cool liquids, especially water, before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration. • Reschedule or plan outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day. • Wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing made of breathable fabric. • Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight.
• Spend a few hours in a cool place such as a tree-shaded area, swimming facility or an airconditioned spot such as a public building or shopping mall. • Take cool showers or baths until you feel refreshed. • Prepare meals that don’t need to be cooked in your oven. • Block sun out by closing awnings, curtains or blinds during the day. • Avoid sun exposure. Shade yourself by wearing a wide-brimmed, breathable hat or using an umbrella. • Watch for heat alerts, and pay attention to poor air quality forecasts. Consult the Air Quality Health Index at airhealth. ca before heading outside.
Woman convinced man to leave home continued from front
According to police, the woman did not suffer any physical injury in the May 4 incident and was able to convince the man to leave the home, where she was conducting an open house.
He is described as an Asian man in his mid 30s, with dark hair and eyes, and with some bumps on his face. At the time of the incident he was wearing a t-shirt, jeans and running shoes. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung told The Tri-City News the
incident occurred at a home on Rowland Street in Port Coquitlam. He said it took investigators a while to conduct the initial police work and create the sketch of the suspect, which is why it took more than two months before going public to seek as-
sistance. Chung added that these types of incidents are rare in Port Coquitlam and that the realtor was fortunate to be able to get the man to leave the home. “She was able to usher him out the door,” he said. “He did, so she
was not physically hurt. She was able to close the doors.” Anyone with any information is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 201312208. Anyone wishing to provide information anonymously can
do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS) or going to www.solvecrime.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Could you run the Run? Anmore needs a leader The Terry Fox Foundation is once again asking for someone to step forward to organize the Terry Fox Run in Anmore. This week, the Port Coquitlam-based provincial organization issued a plea for a volunteer to head up the annual village run, which started in 2010. For its first two years, it was led by Anmore Coun. Kerri Palmer Isaak and, last year, by Jon Davidson, who’s returning to school in September and won’t have the time to organize the event, said provincial director Donna White. Still, she noted that Davidson will be available this summer to help with the transition (to inquire about the role, email jdavidson127@gmail. com). This year marks the 33rd anniversary of the Terry Fox Run and the event will be held Sunday, Sept. 15. In the Tri-Cities, there will be four runs. In addition to the run in Anmore, Port Moody and Coquitlam host their own events, and Port Coquitlam, where Fox grew up, hosts its annual Hometown Run starting at Hyde Creek rec centre, which draws thousands. To lend a hand for the Hometown Run, call Dave Teixeira at 604-4189177 or email dave@ dave.ca. Proceeds from the runs support cancer research. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Council criticizes confusing signs on Hwy. 1, Lougheed By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Commuters continue to get lost when they drive along Highway 1 and Lougheed Highway because of confusing and misplaced signs, Coquitlam councillors say. But the provincial government contends it’s working to address the city’s concerns around guide signage for the Highway 1/Port Mann Bridge improvement project. Yesterday (Thursday), a transportation ministry spokesperson said new signs are going in but many won’t be installed until construction is “significantly advanced.” That, councillors argue, isn’t helping anyone get around. At Monday’s councilin-committee, Mayor Richard Stewart said he would write another letter to voice council’s concerns. And he said he would request Mike Proudfoot, the CEO of TI Corp., which is overseeing the multi-million dollar road and bridge project, to speak before council. Coun. Brent Asmundson, who is also a bus driver in the Coquitlam and New We s t m i n s t e r a r e a s , claimed the transportation ministry has ignored Coquitlam’s initial letter, sent in February. “It’s a frustration. It
A sign on Highway 1, en route to the Port Mann Bridge. seems there’s a lack of willingness to get it done,” he charged. As well, Asmundson said, the new traffic light on the Brunette overpass to New Westminster is adding gridlock. “You have to really know where you are going or you will be totally lost,”said Coun. Terry O’Neill, adding, “There are wrong signs in wrong places… It’s actually really dangerous.” Stewart said he recently heard from a Richmond family that was late for a wedding in Coquitlam after it accidentally crossed the tolled Port Mann bridge, and they blamed confusing signs. He has met with transportation officials and “they said it will take several months to get through this. My frustration is the next round of signs are going up and they are bad.”
COUNCIL MEETINGS
Still, the ministry spokesperson said new connections will soon be opened and many of the issues around directional signs will be resolved. These include modifying a sign on Lougheed by removing the “Last exit before toll”tab and adding: • five signs that state: “For Lougheed Hwy. follow Hwy. 7” at the following locations: Highway 1 and Lougheed Highway eastbound and westbound, and on Mary Hill bypass; • “Coquitlam” as the destination for “Hwy. 7” and “Maple Ridge” as the destination for “Hwy. 7B” to many signs along Hwy. 1 and 7 corridors (instead of adding road names);
JANIS WARREN/thE tRI-cIty NEWS
• “Coquitlam City Centre” to many signs along the corridor that are within the city of Coquitlam jurisdiction; • “United Blvd to Mariner Way”at a sign on Lougheed. “Safety is the ministry’s top priority and highway signs must be planned, designed and located in such a way as to provide motorists with relevant information quickly, and without distraction,” the spokesperson said in an email. “The ministry will continue to work closely with the city and the construction contractor to ensure the new signs are installed as quickly as possible.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam considering One Pass for recreation By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Tri-City residents wanting to get fit at public pools, rinks, weight rooms and exercise programs in Coquitlam may soon have an easier — and cheaper — way to drop in. This week, Coquitlam city staff proposed a new One Pass card that, starting in January, would allow recreation users to pay for a pass good for any civic facility across the city. Under the concept, which has yet to be approved by city council, recreation users would load their One Pass for a month, three months, six months or a year, for example. Then, they would have universal access to any of the 100-plus dropin classes — such as aerobics, boot camp and spinning — available during their specified time period. As well, One Pass would allow holders to skate, take a dip in any of the pools or use the workout gear at City Centre Aquatic Complex, Chimo Pool and Pinetree community centre. One Pass would not, however, be valid for pre-paid, registered programs like swim lessons. Joy c e Fo rdy c e , Coquitlam’s recreation manager, told Monday’s council-in-committee the aim is to get people more
watch work on evergreen Two new webcams went live Thursday to view the Evergreen Line construction through Port Moody. One camera is positioned at the north tunnel portal area — near Barnet Highway and View Street — where the tunnel-boring machine will be active next year. The second camera is located at the Moody Centre Station, at the current Port Moody transit exchange. To see the images, visit evergreenline.gov. bc.ca (click Construction Cameras under the Newsroom tab). The building of the $1.4-billion rapid-transit line from Lougheed To w n C e n t r e t o Coquitlam City Centre is now underway and is set to be complete by the summer of 2016. There will be seven stations: Lougheed Town Centre, Burquitlam, Port Moody, Ioco, Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Douglas/ Lafarge Lake. By 2021, Evergreen is expected to transport up to 70,000 passengers daily.
active by allowing users to take part in all dropin classes, many of which have different rates depending on the facility. One Pass is meant to simplify the fee structure as well as sales and membership paperwork. Last year, drop-in programs generated $2.4 million, half of which came from admissions at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. Revenues won’t drop with One Pass, Fordyce said. The photo-ID One Pass is intended to be more convenient so that residents can “do more at the same price,” said Kurt Holden, acting GM for parks, recreation and cultural services. “Once people have this in hand, they will be able to drop into any facility,” Coun. Terry O’Neill said at the meeting, adding One Pass will be handy “especially during the summer.” Coun. Craig Hodge, who chairs the city’s sports council, added One Pass will be beneficial for children, teens and seniors. And Hodge said he would eventually like to see One Pass go regional so residents can have the flexibility to use any civic facility in the Tri-Cities. “I want this to be in competition to video games,” Mayor Richard Stewart said of One Pass. City staff are expected to report to city council in the fall, with a $10,000
marketing campaign targeted for November. Fordyce said similar passes are used in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Delta, North Vancouver and Langley township. As well, Greater Victoria offers a “Four-Twenty-Ten” annual pass for its 16 municipalities. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Region risks being ‘locked into congestion indefinitely’: Watts continued from front page
You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com
“The referendum is a mistake... The alternative is doubling the number of highways, doubling the number of roadways — to pave more and more of the Lower Mainland.” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart (left)
“I can’t imagine 10 months from now going to a referendum.” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan dum concurrently with civic elections would save money but Walton said the transit funding question would overshadow municipal issues and likely result in most civic politicians campaigning against it. Most mayors have opposed a referendum, which was a BC Liberal election promise. “The referendum is a mistake,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, who said if voters nix more cash for new transit lines, his city should logically stop building regular-sized roads in favour of six-lane highways. “The alternative is
doubling the number of highways, doubling the number of roadways — to pave more and more of the Lower Mainland.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the region physically can’t build more or wider roads and the debate needs to be about the future of the economy, which risks being “locked into congestion indefinitely” without better transit. She questioned whether the province wants the referendum to succeed or fail. “Or do they not care?” she asked at the July 17 mayors’ council meeting. White Rock’s Wayne
Baldwin said the province and TransLink’s appointed board should make the decisions, since the mayors’ council has no real power. “I can’t imagine 10 months from now going to a referendum,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “That’s just ludicrous. And what it will do is set us back another 14 years.” A realistic discussion of what residents can afford should come first, Corrigan said. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she supports the referendum because “people need to have a say in how this

TransLink is about to prepare a 15-year transit investment plan to spell out what transit projects would get funding if the referendum passes. It’s not clear if the province would have the final say on those spending priorities, or if provincial projects such as a Massey Tunnel replacement might be included. And the province, the mayors and TransLink will have to determine what funding source or sources will be on the ballot. A vehicle levy or a small regional sales tax have been raised by mayors as options that could be quickly implemented. A key decision for the province will be whether voters get a “none of the above” option that lets them reject any new money for TransLink. Many mayors fear a veto option will doom the referendum to failure and the region to worsening congestion as the population and numbers of cars on the road grow. The alternative is politically tricky as well. If voters can’t say “none of the above,” they would be forced to choose the most palatable of perhaps two or three different sets of revenue sources. Some mayors say the question shouldn’t be specific to funds at all and instead be a more general plebiscite on the principle of expanding transit that would leave politicians to work out the details. Transportation Minister Todd Stone won’t yet say whether a veto should be allowed. “I look forward to working with the mayors on that,” the minister told Black Press.“I’m not going to predetermine what the question is going to be. I really want this to be a collaborative effort with the mayors.” Stone said he hopes governance reform can first be settled swiftly, noting, “Timelines are tight, there’s no question.” Tra n s L i n k g ove rnance changes and the referendum would have to be enabled by the Legislature in an expected April 2014 session, Walton said. A few months are needed to draft the legislation, so the key decisions must be made by this November or December. Running the referen-

hether people own goldfish, cats or parakeets, many derive an intense amount of joy from having pets in their lives. Dogs are no exception but some of man’s best friends get a harder time than others. Each decade has its own vilified breed; Rottweilers, German shepherds and dobermans have taken their turn in the negative spotlight. Most recently, pit bulls are the go-to breed to be feared. People either hate them outright or say blame the owner, not the breed. In such an emotionally charged discussion, it’s refreshing to see Port Coquitlam has for years taken a reasoned approach. Dogs are deemed aggressive for behavioural actions, not merely their genetic makeup. The city is now suggesting owners of demonstrably aggressive dogs pay more for annual licences due to the extra staff work required, and we agree. Owning these types of animals comes with additional responsibilities, and extra fees are the least owners can do to balance the equation.

Freedom or safety, it seems we can’t have both AS I SEE IT Lance Peverley
T
he democratized world is at a crossroads, in which one route leads to freedom, the other to safety. Embracing one comes at the expense of the other and neither includes guarantees. Such has become even more evident as we argue over the actions of National Security Association whistleblower Edward Snowden, who revealed last month that his own U.S. government was spying en masse on its citizens’ electronic communications and on its economic partners. The debate crosses party lines, with nearly equal numbers throughout the political spectrum calling his actions either heroic or treasonous. For many, loss of freedoms is far worse than a potential risk of our security. They heed the witch hunts of the past, they bemoan an Orwellian present and they fear a dysto-
pian future. For others, giving up personal privacy is the price of protection in these turbulent times. They encourage the government to monitor our texts, emails and conversations, ensuring it’s on record who the bad guys are. Both sides have merit. Both scare the hell out of me. I don’t understand those who put all their faith in officials; so many conversations and deals are made behind the scenes. Nor do I understand faith in the rabble; again, you and I aren’t privy to the shenanigans of our leaders, self-appointed or otherwise. Individually, we are so consumed with our own thoughts and fears that it barely registers that the enemy is already on both sides of the gate. Most of us will agree there’s a price to pay for living in a civilized society. We obey its laws, we follow protocols and we understand that free speech and other rights have their limits. Yet those who have faith in the leaders of the so-called free world would do well to

remember these 14 words uttered again and again not so long ago:“Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” Despite extremes in their partisan views, it wouldn’t be difficult — depending on which country you’re in and who’s in charge at any given moment — to imagine the word “Communist” replaced with “Labour” or “Liberal” or “Tea.” Thanks to advances in technology, they no longer have to ask — and you certainly don’t need to tell — to have your politics, your faith and your sexuality on display behind what are, for now, closed doors. Then again, do we really want independent whistleblowers like NSA leaker Snowden, U.S. Army Pte. Bradley Manning and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to decide our individual and collective fates? Does it make sense that military secrets are transmitted to the masses, potentially endangering our loved ones? Should all investigative techniques be made public, driving would-be terrorists deeper underground?
In the days since last spring’s Boston Marathon bombing, we’ve heard of at least two planned terror attacks on Canadian soil — and others abroad — that were reportedly thwarted, in part, by surveillance and subterfuge. In each case, cyberspace teemed with speculation and condemnation from all sides, questioning the veracity of official and unofficial accounts, labelling one another conspiracists and patsies and accusing each other of groupthink. Those same texts, tweets and posts are, no doubt, being filed away — along with our phone records — for later analyses, thanks to elected leaders that have lied for a greater good. The question is clear: Do we trust the anarchists or our governments? In one of these worlds, people fear misinformation; in the other, they fear too much information. If you can answer unequivocally and without hesitation, you just might want to keep your thoughts to yourself.

FACE TO FACE: Is gentrification a good thing in Vancouver’s poorest area?
Maximize good in Van’s DTES I
don’t much like the term“antigentrification.” I think we should call it what it really is: anti-development, antiimprovement, anti-betterment and anti-capitalism. I find it disconcerting to see what’s happening on Vancouver’s Downtown East Side these days. A group of yahoos have taken it upon themselves to protest any enhancements to their neighbourhood — such as new restaurants — because they say it will increase rents and then they’ll have to find someplace else to live. In other words, they want to restrict the rights of private landowners so that they can continue to live in what is known as Canada’s poorest postal code. I’ll agree with the protestors — and my colleague opposite for that matter — that new businesses and new buildings will systematically price them out of the rental market in east Vancouver. But at the risk of sounding like an insensitive jerk, tough petunias. Rents within walking distance of the hub of a world-class city should be expensive. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t have some affordable housing and
social housing solutions in the downtown area but to have several blocks in the city centre dedicated to low-income renters is beyond the responsibility of city governments. Where should these low-income renters go? How about to the suburbs? The Tri-Cities, the Fraser Valley and beyond will all have cheaper rents than a rejuvenated East Van. Certainly, it will be incumbent upon provincial and municipal government to ensure that health, addiction and other services are offered in the ’burbs. And they can always take public transit back to the Downtown East Side to access services not available elsewhere. Improvements to the area will also lead to what economists call “the maximization of the overall good.”Community enhancement can create jobs, bring in tourists and enhance the city’s tax base, which helps everybody — rich, poor or in between. To be clear, I’m not suggesting we put low-income earners, the disabled or the sick out on the streets. But they don’t have a God-given right to live in one of the most geographically desirable areas in the country.

ring on the funky bistros, tapas bars, Starbucks patios and happening Thai food places. Damn the torpedoes and don’t worry too much about displacing low-income residents and affordable rental units. Yes, we all love it when a dumpy old neighbourhood is transformed to cool, like Gastown or upper Main Street. Gentrification is defined as the process of affluent people moving into a traditionally disadvantaged urban area, thereby changing its character. In short, the displacement of low– income people is not a side effect of gentrification, it is gentrification. And so, although I like a funky bistro as much as the next guy, when I hear my let-’em-eat-cake colleague suggest that those displaced by gentrification should simply get a job, I forget my love for the funky bistro and remember the callous political treatment of low-income renters in gentrified neighbourhoods. The political process of gentrification is dishonest and inherently unfair. By way of example, imagine if we proposed building a drug recovery centre in Kitsilano or a treatment centre in Kerrisdale. How many social impact studies would we have to discuss the effects

tion of East Van neighbourhoods, there are few meetings or impact studies on effects on residents. In fact, resident displacement statistics are manipulated. We claim there are more low-income rental units available than ever but we’re counting units that aren’t low-rent anymore. Only 24% of rental units are available at welfare level, a drop of over 3,000 low rental units since 1993. An entrepreneur buys a multifloor low-rent building and, after a reno, leases out the main floor to a trendy restaurant, while on the floors above, renters live in squalor. An upscale crowd is soon attracted to the restaurant and the building owner sees the opportunity for higher rents and — voila! — a rent hike, a reno, and low-income residents are displaced. The protesters at the Pidgin restaurant on Carrall and Cuchillo restaurant on Powell justifiably express frustration over years of displacement of low-rent residents of gentrified neighbourhoods. I don’t know what the answer is. We can’t halt all gentrification. Unfortunately, as usual, our pat answer seems to be to blame the poor.

Homeless No pay parking need all our help in PoMo, please
The Editor, Re. “PoMo park pay parking?” (The Tri-City News, July 12). As a Coquitlam resident, I would implore Port Moody’s mayor and council to reconsider charging non-residents to park at Rocky Point Park. My family and now my grandchildren have been enjoying the park for many years and never once have we had a problem with parking. Yes, we are non-residents but if Port Moody starts charging for parking, where will it end? Will Coquitlam start charging non-residents to enjoy Mundy Park and will Port Coquitlam start charging non-residents to park at their lacrosse and soccer fields? I think it’s a bad idea to charge for parking at any park as it may discourage some people from enjoying our public spaces. Glenn Rickard, Coquitlam
The Editor, Re. “Wake up to plight of your neighbours” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 17). I have just read Erin Styles’ letter regarding Port Coquitlam council turning down an extension for a homeless shelter and I agree 100% with what she writes. Homeless people are not homeless by choice. Riverview Hospital was closed and now has been left to rot. The people who were turfed out had nowhere else to go and ended up on the Downtown Eastside. It’s a complex problem to be sure but shutting down social programs and facilities is not the answer. And Styles is right: The people who are down and out are some of the kindest, warmest people you would ever want to meet. Lorell Gingrich, Coquitlam
Natural gas is alternative to consuming electricity The Editor, Re. “Zap! Get ready for BC Hydro rate hikes” (BC Views, The Tri-City News, July 10). Tom Fletcher’s column reiterates what we have been told for some time: A large part of the future BC Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates. But the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases that will cause rate increases for us all. At the same time, the minister is telling us we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and ship it overseas. Should the first step not be to switch to natural gas-powered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible and for all large government buildings? Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway because that is where our“last watt”comes from. Rein Nienaber, Saanich

Man ID’d in May child sex assault By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A man has been identified as a person of interest in the alleged sexual assault of a child at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park in May but police have yet to make an arrest. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police could not name the person but said the investigation is far from over. “Based on tips from the public and our investigators, we were able to piece the case together and positively identify him,� he said. “We know who he is and we know where he is.� The incident occurred on May 12, when a sixyear-old girl told her
father that a man had touched her inappropriately while at the park. Coquitlam RCMP officers searched the area extensively but were unable to locate any suspects. “We are taking this investigation very seriously,� Chung said at the time. “We have increased patrols in the area to look for the suspect.� A sketch was distributed to the media. On Thursday, Chung would not elaborate on the status of the investigation. He said the detachment’s sex crimes investigators were still working the case and that it would be some time before more information was released.

Higher fees possible in PoCo for dangerous dogs By Jason Roessle
n see dog regs editorial, page 10 n Bears are online now, page 16
The Tri-CiTy News
Higher annual licensing fees for dogs deemed aggressive are being proposed alongside other changes to Port Coquitlam’s animal control bylaw. The city’s manager of bylaw services, Dan Scoones, told The TriCity News Tuesday the amendments come after five years of working with the previous bylaw. Since 2008, the city has identified 32 aggressive dogs, which are defined as any dog with a known propensity to attack without provocation, one that has bitten someone and/or been used for dog fighting. “All of these dogs have leash/muzzle conditions,” said Scoones, adding “about a half-dozen” have violated those terms, and “it makes work for us to have to follow up. There’s quite a substantial regulatory and verification burden that comes with that.” The report says aggressive dog owners should pay more for their annual licences (a figure has not yet been
first-year licences be free to all dogs under six months of age to reduce staff time. Currently, dog licence canvassers who come across an owner of a
puppy younger than six months must make a note to follow up with that individual later on. “This causes extra work and the reconnection is not always suc-
cessful,” read the report. “It is also common for an owner to misinterpret the exemption and conclude — wrongly — that the dog does not require a licence at any time in the first year.” Scoones said a bylaw will now be drafted and presented to the CSC for the Sept. 11 meeting. jroessle@tricitynews.com
Invitation to Public Information Meeting Proposed Apartment Development 2275 Kelly Ave., Port Coquitlam

The city is considering an extra licensing fee for dogs that have shown a propensity for aggression. determined), provide proof of liability insurance coverage and display a sign on their property warning of the dog’s aggressive nature. Scoones anticipates a standard sign will be created and issued to those owners. Another requested change will be that cat owners voluntarily agree
to put identification (microchip, tattoo or collage and tag) on their felines because stray cats picked up by municipal pound keepers are only collected 20% of the time, compared to 80% for dogs. “Unreturned cats typically stay in the pound for many weeks at municipal expense before
being adopted out to new homes,” read the report presented to PoCo’s community safety committee (CSC) Wednesday afternoon. Originally, the report said this identification initiative should be mandatory but the committee rejected that idea, said Scoones. Also proposed is that

Electric fences at farms
$5.00 OFF
continued from front page
Farmers in the area have erected electric fences around the field, a measure that Ambrose said has been successful at keeping bears away. But most of the berry crops are still unprotected, which means bears will continue to visit the area as they bulk up for their winter denning period. “Electrifying their fields is what the conservation officer wants to see,” Ambrose said. “The bears are attracted to the blueberry fields and if we keep them out there, we can disperse the bear population.” Ron Wood, an operations supervisor with Metro Vancouver, said the regional district and the farmers in the area have agreed to keep the road closed until further notice (Oliver Road is jointly owned by Metro Vancouver and a farmer in the area). Wood said farmers are expected to conduct a big harvest over the next few days, which would remove much of the food source that is attracting bruins to the area. “Once the berries are removed, the bear activity decreases,” he said.“We will monitor the situation after the harvest.” Minnekhada Park is

Metro has already solicited proposals on technology from companies interested in operating the new plant and has short listed 10 of them, based on their track record and other factors. Most intend to build a mass-burn incinerator, although a couple of firms would use anaerobic digestion or gasification. It’s expected many of the proponents will have

Property owners who want to host Metro Vancouver’s next garbage incinerator will be asked to step forward over the next three months. A formal call for public and private land owners to propose waste-to-energy sites will be issued next week by the regional district and closes Oct. 15. Besides businesses and private land owners, local cities and arms of the provincial or federal governments are all eligible to advance possible sites for Metro’s consideration.

region to sites in neighbouring regional districts, including those on Vancouver Island. Metro board chair Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam, said notification letters sent out recently sparked some alarm among Island residents who feared Metro could build the new incinerator in a community like Nanaimo against local wishes. “People were misinterpreting what we were actually asking for,” he said. “We’re not forcing this upon any local government or anyone in the province. We’re just opening it up because the province told us to look out of region.” A plant site outside the Lower Mainland would

Metro is to make public a short list of the five additional sites it would option for purchase. The regional board aims to pick a winning proponent and final site (or sites – it has not yet ruled out multiple plants) by 2015. Metro last week approved the site selection criteria. Most of the weight (55 per cent) is to be put on environmental and social factors – air pollution, health risks, water quality impacts, greenhouse gas emissions from waste hauling, proximity to existing and future energy customers, land zoning and compatibility with surrounding uses.

C o v a n t a E n e r g y, which runs the existing Burnaby incinerator and is one of the short-listed proponents, has said it could convert an old pulp mill at Gold River on Vancouver Island. Aquilini Renewable Resources has been talking to the Tsawwassen First Nation about a possible site on TFN treaty lands. And Lehigh Cement in Delta would burn preprocessed garbage as an industrial fuel at its current site if chosen. By the end of the year,

The environment ministry, in OK’ing Metro’s solid waste management plan, directed the region to consider out-of-region sites and to work closely with the FVRD to address Valley concerns. Moore said any sites proposed on Vancouver Island, for instance, would have to win the support of the local council to have a serious chance of being picked. “I think we’re going to have enough interest from municipalities and property owners who want to have a waste-toenergy facility located in

Pro-pot campaign looking for volunteers By Gary McKenna
IN QUOTES
The Tri-CiTy News
An organization dedicated to the decriminalization of marijuana will be seeking volunteer canvassers at an event in Port Coquitlam next week as it prepares for a marijuana referendum campaign this fall. Sensible BC needs 50 to 60 volunteers in each of B.C.’s 85 constituencies to collect signatures this fall in order to pressure the provincial government to hold a referendum on the Sensible
3-hectare minimum for sites
“We want the province to tell police to stop searching and arresting people for marijuana possession.” Dana Larsen Policing Act. The legislation, written by supporters of Sensible BC, would essentially stop police from searching or arresting people
for possession of marijuana and would call on Ottawa to repeal marijuana prohibition. While legalization falls under the purview of
the federal government, Dana Larsen, the director of Sensible BC, said the province has the power to tell police how they should prioritize their resources. “It is very specific,” he said. “We want the province to tell police to stop searching and arresting people for marijuana possession.” Larsen said he’s hoping to achieve what HST activists were able to accomplish with their recall campaign in 2011. He believes that if a vote on the Sensible Policing Act were
held today, it would gain overwhelming support. Getting the signatures to force a referendum is the difficult part, he said. More than 400,000 signatures from across B.C. are required and must represent at least 10% of registered voters in each provincial riding. Organizers will only have 90 days to
collect the names starting on Sept. 9. Before the three-month signature-gathering period begins, Larsen hopes to have 5,000 to 6,000 volunteers in place across B.C. to help collect names.“We are really looking for people to step up,”he said. • Members of Sensi-
bleBC will be at Leigh Square (1100-2253 Leigh Square) to talk about existing marijuana laws and field questions from the audience. on Tuesday, July 23, between 7 and 8:30 p.m. For more information about the campaign, go to www.sensiblebc.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Coquitlam’s Pesticide Use Control Bylaw
26th ANNUAL
continued from page 19
Another 35% of the weighting is on technical suitability of the site for construction and operations, including transportation of waste. Another 10%would be based on the financial costs and terms of any option to purchase or lease the site, including any specific conditions or restrictions. According to Metro, the low rating on the financial costs is because the price of land is expected to make up less than five%of total project costs, which could top $500 million. Proposed properties must be at least three hectares. Metro expects to pay market value, but some land owners – such as local cities that stand to benefit from a district energy network – may offer the land for less to increase their chances of success. A staff report says the region retains the right to reject any site it deems unsuitable – for example ones in the Agricultural Land Reserve or others that pose “unacceptable risks.”

Coquitlam adopted Pesticide Use Control Bylaw No. 4254 on April 23rd, 2012. This means many pesticides can no longer be used for lawn and garden beautification and maintenance on residential and City land, even if they are legally allowed for sale. Common active ingredients in most conventional pesticides, such as 2,4-D, Mecoprop, Dicamba, Glyphosate, Carbaryl and Malathion are now restricted under the Bylaw.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Immerse yourself in history of Coquitlam YOUR HISTORY Stefani Klaric
S
tep through the front door at Mackin House and step back 100 years in time. You are about to have what the museum professionals call an“immersive experience.”An example of an immersive space would be a theme park, such as The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida. It is a space where you can interact with your environment, suspend your disbelief and accept the sights, sounds and smells around you as your reality. A phenomenon such as this is most felt at theme parks or within the world of virtual reality but it can also take place right here in Coquitlam. Much like a theme park, Mackin House Museum employs some fundamental techniques to enhance the experience of stepping back in time while providing an educational experience for those visitors immersed in history. Immersion, the feeling of being fully in another time and or place, is most felt when all five senses are acted upon and stimulated. Mackin House strives to be a representa-

At Mackin House, visitors may walk through every room and even touch and gently handle the artifacts. We do not have those vexing velvet ropes that deny the tactile
sense and remind guests they are in a museum space. By engaging all five senses, visitors are better absorbed into the narrative and history of the house, which enhances the educational experience.Visitors may listen to the fire crackling or the gramophone playing, see the furnishings and objects from the
+
early 1900s, and during events they would smell and taste baking from 100-year-old recipes. We do not tire visitors by focusing on identifying artifacts; rather, we explain the artifact by contextualizing it within
the given time period while talking about its role in the household or community. During group and school tours, we often ask a series of questions so visitors are engaged and become a part of the history as they learn.
With young children, we enact hypothetical situations in the kitchen so the children come to understand how life would be different without such things as a faucet, a freezer or electricity. Imagine the look on a child’s face when they find out that everyone in the household used to bathe in the kitchen. Our tours at Mackin House are unique in that we teach visitors not only about what life was like in the household but also what life was like within the community and as a worker at Fraser Mills. Mackin House is the place to learn about the peopling of Coquitlam long ago as the house was a company home of the Fraser Lumber Mill, and it was the offer of land and employment at the mill that enticed people to come and live in the area. Hence, Mackin House is where visitors can learn about daily home life along with the greater narrative of the history of the neighbourhood because we also offer neighbourhood walks. Sadly, Mackin House Museum is positioned to really only capture the history of Fraser Mills
and Maillardville for a brief period of time: about 1909 to the mid1920s. Since the early 1900s, Coquitlam has grown to the status of a city and with this maturation comes the need for a full-scope museum. Our heritage house is beautiful but limiting. Those who attended the Coquitlam Heritage Society’s AGM will recall Erica Williams’ presentation, which detailed a bit about Coquitlam’s prehistoric past.There is much to tell and we hope our near future will bring a building which will showcase all our history featuring many interactive and immersive exhibits representing a wider range of our past including that of Riverview and Burke Mountain. But for those interested in the history of Coquitlam’s earliest pioneers, we invite you to come to Mackin House Museum and enjoy one of our tours.
Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history. Stefani Klaric is with the Coquitlam Heritage Society.

are welcome for stories, songs and fun at Port Moody Public Library’s storytime at the Port Moody Farmers’ Market. Librarians will see you at the market on Friday, July 19 at 3 p.m. and they’ll be back again on Aug. 16 at 3 p.m. as well. For more information, visit library.portmoody. ca or call 604-469-4577. Port Moody Public Library is located at 100 Newport Dr., in the city hall complex. • Summer reading tips for parents: Read to your child. Even if children can read themselves, they still enjoy hearing good stories read aloud. Readers in the early grades can understand far more advanced vocabulary and complex stories than they are able to read — it helps their reading later if you continue to read to them. • Puppet show: Be transported to another world at Terry Fox Library’s summer puppet show. Join libraries and their puppet friends as they share stories on Tuesday, July 30, 6:45 to 7:30 p.m. Free tickets are already available. For more information, visit www.fvrl. bc.ca or the Fraser Valley Regional Library Facebook page. Terry Fox Library is located 2470 Mary Hill Rd. in PoCo. Phone 604-9277999.

Travel season HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALISTS brings scams COUNTERTOP & CABINET DOOR
BUSINESS OF THE WEEK
REPLACEMENT
“Hi, Gram, I need your help and you have to promise not to tell Mom and Dad. I got arrested in Mexico and I need $2,000 bail money...” According to the Better Business Bureau, consumer scams are a problem in Canada and this is one of the most common: the Emergency Scam, where the scammer poses as a friend or family member in trouble, often overseas, and requests that money be sent. It’s sometimes called the Grandparent Scam because seniors are often targeted by scammers pretending to be grandchildren. During the summer travel season, there is an increased potential for Emergency or Grandparent Scams to occur. More people are traveling and whenever people are vulnerable, fraudsters will generally attack. Emergency scams play off people’s emotions and strong desire to help others in need. Scammers impersonate their victims’ loved ones, often using information they’ve picked up on social media, and make up an urgent situation: I’ve been arrested, I’ve been mugged, I’m in
the hospital. The scammer makes an urgent plea for help — and money. In most cases, the scammer asks for money to be wired immediately. The victim often responds quickly and without checking first to see if the pleading voice on the other end of the phone really is their grandchild or other loved one. BBB offers the following tips to protect consumers from Emergency Scams during the summer travel season: • Do not wire money to a stranger you have not met in person. • Investigate by verifying the information with family members and friends first and ignore the caller’s plea not to tell others. • Never send funds received by cheque until it officially clears in your account, which can take several days, or more. • Watch out for email scams. Often someone you know may have had their email high jacked by a scammer, so do not trust an emergency via email unless you have verified it first. You can also report a scam, and learn more on other summer scams on www.mbc.bbb.org.

Living the bright life at Imani Development’s Shine The sun is shining on Vancouver’s South Main neighbourhood with Shine, the newest condominium development from Imani Development. Featuring a range of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans ranging from around 500 to over 1,300 square feet, the 90 homes are exclusive and luxurious, with amazing views overlooking False Creek, downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains. The homes are situated on a quiet residential street, so you’re away from the noise and bustle of Main Street.
The contemporary kitchens feature high-gloss white upper cabinets with wood grain or high-gloss white lower cabinets, complemented by a quartz stone countertop, ceramic tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. Wide-plank birch laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with carpeting in the bedrooms. The bathrooms could be featured in a spa, with their deep soaker tubs, ceramic tile bathtub and shower surround and modern white or wood-grain cabinetry.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Buyers are able to choose between two designer colour schemes, and each suite includes a laundry area with a washer and dryer, for an extra little bit of convenience. The South Main neighourhood has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and Shine is perfectly situated to take advantage of all the amenities the area has to offer. You will be within walking distance of schools, shopping, dining and transit, as well as leisure and recreation opportunities. Vancouver’s Olympic Village and the SeaWall are nearby, making it easy to get a bit of outdoor exercise if you’re in the mood. There are also several yoga studios and parks, along with two community centres within easy reach. You’ll also find a large outdoor courtyard with a seating lounge, fire pit, barbecue area and portable outdoor movie screen on the property itself, as well as a rooftop deck with gorgeous city views, and an expansive lobby. For more information, visit www.liveatshine.com, call 604-874-7478 or visit the sales centre at 2152 Main Street, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m., or by appointment.

The homes at G3 include stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and spacious open floorplans. The project will encompass three buildings, with all construction expected to be completed by next summer. Residents will also have access to a residents lounge with a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other amenities.
Affordable lifestyle living in Guildford By Kerry Vital
Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood is quickly becoming a vibrant place to live, work and play. Now, G3 Developments is adding to the excitement with G3. With three buildings and 155 condominium suites in a range of studio,
one-bedroom, one-bedroom-and-den and two-bedroom floorplans, three is definitely a lucky number for G3, located just steps away from anything you could possibly need. “You can walk to everything,” says sales manager Margaret Bird. “There’s easy access” to the rest of the Lower Mainland via the Port Mann Bridge, along with the convenience of living near Guildford Town Centre and the Guildford Recreation Centre and Library. You’re also within walking distance of parks, schools, shopping and restaurants, and just minutes away from Surrey City Centre by car. The homes at G3 are spacious and modern, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and a convenient eating bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or as a place to gather while entertaining. The ceiling mount

track lighting and pendant lights in the kitchen easily illuminate your tasks. The bathrooms feature a quartz backsplash to complement the countertops, as well as wall mount vanity lights, soaker bathtubs and semi-frameless glass shower stalls and a sleek undermount sink. Buyers can choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx. The homes include nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floors), laminate hardwood flooring in the main living areas and lush carpeting in the bedrooms, along with a stacking front-load washer and dryer and storage and parking for every home. Residents will also have access to the G3 residents lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things.
The biggest draw for buyers so far has been the value they get for their money. “These price points are attractive,” Bird says, adding that first-time buyers have been particularly interested. She has also seen longtime area residents looking at the homes as part of their downsizing plans. “They want to live near their kids, but not actually with them,” she says. The first phase, called Premiere, has been selling well and Bird notes that buyers there will be able to move into their new home in March 2014. The second and third phases, Encore and Finale respectively, will be completely finished by next summer. Homes at G3 start at $139,900 for a studio, $169,900 for a one-bedroom and $219,900 for a two-bedroom. For more information, go to g3living.ca, call 604-588-8238 or visit the showroom at 10439 154th Street, Surrey, open every day except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.
GVHBA SUMMER SOCIAL The Suppliers Council and the Membership Committee are holding a social networking event on Wednesday, August 14 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The event is open to GVHBA members, guests of GVHBA members and invited non-members. Call 778-565-4288 for more information.

f you haven’t been sitting under a shade tree during our simply sensational summer weather, it’s probably because you don’t have one. As a matter of fact, if you take a good look around at our newer homes, many on smaller lots, shade trees tend to be one of the rarest species of trees in the landscape. Considering the many attributes of these tall, stately trees, we’re really missing a welcome addition to our homes. The most common misconception about shade trees is that they grow 100 feet overnight, drop tons of leaves to be raked up each year and have root systems that demolish septic tanks and fields. Added to these alleged problems are concerns about insects, disease and pruning. If these are the reasons that folks are not planting shade trees, it is unfortunate, because for the most part they are unfounded fears. Shade trees can also be planted for reasons other than shade.

Lindsey Cauley of the Port Coquitlam Marlins Swim Club gets in some practice laps this week in preparation for this weekend’s Sharks in the Park meet hosted by the Coquitlam Sharks Aquatic Club at Spani Pool. Cauley is coming off a big performance at last weekend’s North Vancouver Hootenanny meet where she won the 100-metre freestyle, setting a club record in the process.
League-leading Adanacs open playoffs Saturday By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Saturday’s opening game of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League semifinals promises to be a classic, pitting an offensive juggernaut against the league’s top defence. The Coquitlam Adanacs play host to the high-scoring Victoria Shamrocks Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. “It will be a great
series. It should be extremely fast and there’s a lot of skill on both teams,” said Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge. “I think both teams have good goaltending so it will be entertaining to say the least.” The Adanacs finished atop the league standings with a 17-4 record, earning a firstround bye, while the Shamrocks swept the Delta Islanders 10-6, 12-8 in their quarterfinal series.
“We’ve had a bit of a break here and they’ve had a series so they’re in a bit of a rhythm. It’s key to find that rhythm early and set the tone for the series,” said Doddridge. “We’re playing back to back [facing off again Sunday evening in
Victoria] so it’s important our first two periods are strong.” He believes the Adanacs’ stingy defence will have the edge over the league’s most potent offence. “I always find it’s easier to settle your defence in than your offence,” said Doddridge, who is familiar with the style played by the Shamrocks. “I played for their coach, Normal Dillon, when we were fortu-
nate to win Mann Cups with the Shamrocks in ‘97 and ‘99 so I know his coaching style. It’s not a surprise that they’re offensively gifted. They’re more of a running team and they’ll be willing to trade chances offensively.” Jesse King (34 goals, 27 assists in 15 games), Brody Eastwood (42 goals, 22 assists in 14 games) and Chris Wardle (46 goals, 44 assists in 21 games) provide the bulk of Victoria’s
firepower. The Adanacs’ offence is led by Chase McIntyre (20 goals, 55 assists in 19 games), Reid Reinholdt (25 goals, 43 assists in 14 games) and Matt Delmonico (36 goals, 31 assists in 16 games). The Adanacs head into the series holding down the No. 2 spot in the Subway Lacrosse Talk National Rankings, trailing only the Six Nations Arrows of the Ontario league. “I wasn’t aware of
that, that’s good,” said Doddridge. “But I’d rather be No. 1 on Aug. 26 than No. 1 in the middle of July.” l In West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association playoff action, the Tri-City Bandits square off against the Port Moody Thunder in game two of their bestof-three series Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at the Port Coquitlam rec complex. Game three, if necessary, goes Sunday at 3:30 p.m. in Port Coquitlam.
Kick for a Cure attracts thousands looking to get a leg up on cancer By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
There’s sure to be plenty of goals scored Saturday at Coquitlam Town Centre Park, but none more important than the one set out by organizers of the Kick for a Cure. “I think we’re going to raise the most we’ve ever raised this year,” said Gloria Cuccione, executive director of the Michael Cuccione Foundation. Since Kick for a Cure began in 2007, more than $300,000 has been raised for the foundation dedicated to providing funds for child-
hood cancer research and supporting children along with their families through such adversity. “Awareness is equally important to the money we raise. Some people don’t even realize that babies and children are losing their lives to cancer,” said Cuccione, whose son Michael died at 16 following a car accident after beating cancer twice. Hundreds of children and adults will take part in Saturday’s six-on-six soccer tournament, with a free soccer clinic also being offered to youngsters. But Saturday’s ac-
tivities won’t just be limited to the soccer pitch. There will also be a demonstration from Canadian Border Services detection dogs, the Canadian Tire Jump Start family fun zone, entertainment all day, games for the kids and refreshments for all ages. There will also be a visit from members of the Vancouver Whitecaps. Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi and club ambassador Carl Valentine will be joined by a member of this year’s team to take part in this year’s soccerfest. “There is something
for everybody,” said Cuccione. The first tournament took place in 2007 in Port Moody and featured only a handful of six-member co-ed teams made up of primarily border services workers with a few members of the community. Since that time the event has grown by leaps and bounds and in 2011 Kick for a Cure moved to Coquitlam Town Centre Park to help accommodate the growing number of participants, events and supporters.

Coquitlam athletes make medal haul By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Photo submitted
Coquitlam’s Jasmine Lew sprints for the finish line at the Golden Ears Eagle Classic earlier this year.
Coquitlam youngsters were burning up the track last weekend at the junior development track and field provincial championships in Nanaimo. Coquitlam Cheetah junior development athletes carted away 10 gold and 17 total medals from the three-day championships. “The multiple medals won by some of these individuals were just phenomenal. They exceeded my expectations,” said Cheetah junior development coach Steve Boylan, who had set his sights on five golds going into the competition.
Twelve-year-old Jarrett Chong scooped up four gold medals, winning in javelin, shot put, discus and hammer, where he made one of the 10 longest throws in B.C. history. Cameron Slaymaker, 10, took home gold in the 1,000 metres, shot put and javelin (all top-10 all-time performances), claimed silver in the 60 m hurdles and won bronze in long jump and discus. “He had just come back from Europe and was still jet lagged. Actually, he got a massive sunburn so he was competing with blisters across his shoulders,” said Boylan. Evan Smith, 13, snared
gold in discus and javelin and earned silver in the hammer, while 13-yearold teammate Amin Shahsavar won gold in shot put and bronze in the 100 m and long jump, and 11-year-old Liam Espedido landed a silver in high jump. Coquitlam’s Jasmine Lew, who now runs for the South Fraser Track and Field Club, struck gold in the 200 m and was edged out at the wire to take silver in the 100 m. “I think it went really well,” said the 13-yearold who was also part of the gold-medal-winning distance medley team that included Port Coquitlam’s Jade Kreiser.
Canada for seniors (1921 year olds). Her next test will come Aug. 9-11 at the Canada Athletics Legions in Langley, where she will be up against 16- to 18-year-olds. “I guess I am a little bit [intimidated] but I’m mostly excited.” Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s Jamal Mensah, 12, placed first in the 80 m hurdles and third in both the 100 m and 300 m. Nico De Paoli, a 13-year-old from Port Coquitlam, won gold in the long jump, silver in the 100 m, 200 m and 800 m, bronze in the 300 m, and was part of the gold medal teams in the 4x100 and distance medley.
“I like the adrenaline and hearing people in the crowd yelling for you.” Lew became involved in sprinting at the age of nine, setting a goal of competing at the 2020 Summer Olympics. That goal has her forgoing trips to the mall with friends to practice at least three times a week. “In the end it’s all worth it,”she said. All the hard work has allowed her to turn in personal best times this year of 12.59 seconds in the 100 m and 26.12 seconds in the 200 m, the fastest times for any 13-year-old girl in the province. Her time in the 100 m has earned her a ranking of 37th in
reds look to keep streak alive in playoffs Coquitlam to host wheelchair By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
They may be on the road for the playoffs, but Abbotsford has definitely been friendly territory lately for the Coquitlam Reds. “We’ve played very well against Abbotsford over the last two years,” said Reds head coach Kyle Williams, whose team has posted a perfect 8-0 record the past two seasons against the Cardinals.
The Reds hope to keep that streak alive when they play a doubleheader in Abbotsford Saturday to open the B.C. Premier Baseball League playoffs. The deciding game in the best-of-three series will go Sunday in Abbotsford if necessary. Williams sees the two keys to the series for the Reds as limiting the number of walks given up and avoiding costly errors. “We have to at least match them on free bases handed out. They’re the
best defensive team in the league and we can’t give them extra base runners on errors,”he said. With the pitching staffs being fairly evenly matched, Williams sees the series turning on the Reds’ bats. “We have significantly better hitters. I think they are the No. 11-ranked offensive team in the league and we finished third in batting average.” The Reds’ attack is led by league home run champ Max
Hollingworth and Hayden Jaco, who are among five Reds hitting over .300 for the season. Curtis Taylor brings his 7-4 regular season record to the mound for Saturday’s opener, with Ryan Mose (7-3) starting the final leg of the double header. Both Mose (81) and Taylor (80) finished in the top five for strikeouts. Jonathan Keltie has been pencilled in as the starter for the rubber match, unless he is needed in relief on Saturday.
