Scam artist picks the wrong mark By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
WILLIAM ISSA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A recreational vehicle caught fire along the Mary Hill Bypass last Friday. The fire extended up the hillside, consuming the dry brush at a rapid pace as the blaze moved uphill towards Citadel Drive townhomes. SEE FULL STORY PAGE 7
A con artist who goes house-to-house claiming he has been in a car accident and needs money, picked the wrong person to scam when he knocked on Darlene Browning’s door last month. Th e 7 0 - ye a r- o l d Coquitlam resident is a long time Block Watch captain, a member of Citizen Crime Watch and a Community Police Station volunteer. She recognized the man immediately from a photo she had seen of him at the station and informed him that she knew what he was up to. “I said ‘I know exactly who you are,’” she told The Tri-City News on Monday. “But he wouldn’t leave.” The man pressed on with his story, claim-
ing that a neighbour had told him to come to Browning’s door and that she would be able to give him $18.50. His hands were moving around erratically and Browning eventually closed the door on him and called the police. When a Coquitlam RCMP officer who was patrolling the area caught up with the man down the road, he was arrested on an outstanding warrant. A week after the incident Browning was working at the Community Police Station when a man who lives in the Como Lake area claimed he had been scammed. He had managed to take a photo of the suspect, who was the same man that had been arrested near Browning’s house the week before. see POLICE, page 6
Feeding bears = dead animals, say COs By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Well-meaning but uninformed animal lovers who have been leaving treats such as bird seed and peanut butter for bears may as well be signing their death warrant. That’s the conclusion drawn by conservation officers who destroyed one bear in Coquitlam last week after it stalked people and crashed a family barbecue because it lost its fear of humans. A n o t h e r b e a r i n Po r t Coquitlam was hand-fed but it seems to have left the area. Const. Cody Ambrose said the PoCo bear may have returned to its senses and is hopefully now eating wild berries
and other natural foods. “There is lots of natural food sources in the city,”he said. In the Coquitlam case, the culprit who fed the now deceased bear hasn’t been located but pails of bird seed and peanut butter have been found. In the Port Coquitlam situation a homeless person was found to be feeding a bear out of his hand. Ambrose said the homeless person was not fined but was told he could be endangering the lives of bears by feeding them. “The bear would come right up and eat out of his hand and this was on a high-use trail,” Ambrose said. The man who was feeding the bear on the Traboulay PoCo Trail near Lougheed Highway
bridge was immediately apologetic and promised to stop the free lunches. “It was explained to him the bear would be put down, he was photographed and put into our system,” Ambrose said. “We do believe it [the feeding] has stopped.” However, the Coquitlam bear wasn’t so lucky and was shot last week after it started exhibiting dangerous behaviour consistent with a bear fed by humans. In one instance, the bear ambled into a barbecue attended by 12 people, in another it approached a group of construction workers without fear, and at one point even stalked someone carrying groceries right to their front door.
“That behaviour is consistent with feeding,” Ambrose said, expressing concern that bears can pose a danger to people if they are fed because they become persistent and aren’t deterred by efforts to scare them away. It took conservation officers three weeks to locate and finally destroy the bear — a sad situation that could have been avoided, Ambrose added. Meanwhile, COs report the number of bear complaints is about the same as last year, with some people still leaving their garbage out, which attracts the hungry bruins. However, complaints are down about bears in blueberry fields, likely because more farmers have electric fences. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Babies recognized at 100th party Stories by Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Babies born this year to Port Moody families will get special recognition to help the city celebrate its 100th anniversary. This Saturday, certificates will be handed out to PoMo families that register their 2013-born babies at the information booth at Rocky Point Park where the city’s community picnic and fireworks will be held. Coun. Gerry Nuttall, who is helping to coordinate the party, said the names of babies who are registered may also be placed in a time capsule that will be sealed for 50 to 100 years. “If they open it in 50 to 100 years, they’ll see their own name,”Nuttall pointed out. Of course, after the picnic, people will be able to register for a certificate online, but getting an official Centennial baby certificate is just one of a number of reasons to head down to Rocky Point Park on Saturday, Aug. 17. The community picnic kicks off at noon and runs to 10 p.m., featuring bigname entertainment, such as Charlotte Diamond, and ABBA tribute artists ABBRA Cadabra, family games, a roving magician, food and fun.
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Sound asleep while his mom, Michelle Conry accepts a Port Moody Centennial birth certificate on his behalf, is Nathan, three months. His sister, Maeve, 3, takes part in the proceedings at Rocky Point Park. The city is offering special certificates to PoMo babies born this year, the city’s 100th, and their names will be placed in a time capsule to be opened 50 to 100 years in the future. Families can get a certificate by registering at the information booth at this Saturday’s community picnic at Rocky Point Park.
Two birthdays celebrated this weekend Both the city of Port Coquitlam and resident Norman Gill are celebrating 100th birthdays with family get-togethers this week. The only difference is Norman would rather not have any fuss to celebrate his milestone while the city is pulling out all the stops to have a super fun weekend at the height of the summer season. For Port Coquitlam, celebrating is all about bringing families together for free concerts, train rides and even a car show. This weekend (Aug. 16-18), the city is host to numerous events guaranteed to put a smile on the face of everyone from toddlers to seniors. Norman meanwhile, has already started a week of celebration, with a birthday party Sunday at his Welcher Street apartment and on Tuesday, Aug. 13, his actual birthday, celebrated again with his family at the PoCo home of
IN QUOTES
“I’ve avoided them [birthdays] most of my life. Now I’m stuck with them and I don’t think I can run fast enough to get away.” Norman Gill his son, Don. A barbecue at his apartment is also planned along with a get-together at the PoCo Legion, where he is a member. “I’ve avoided them [birthday parties] most of my life. Now I’m stuck with them and I don’t think I can run fast enough to get away,” Norman jokes. Norman moved to Port Coquitlam about 10 years ago
to be closer to his son’s family. Married many years ago, Norman raised a son, Don, and a daughter, Bette, and now has four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He’s a retired social worker who trained at UBC and also spent more than two decades with the Canadian army and the air force. Today, he remains steadfastly independent, cooking and clean-
ing for himself in an apartment he owns, and getting around on his own two feet, although he sometimes has to use a walker, after a pedestrian accident a few years ago knocked him flat. “The lights weren’t reading properly,” he said about the incident when he crossed the street just as a truck was making a left hand turn. “We both met in the middle; naturally, I got the worst of it.” Even when his family provided some house cleaners, Norman says he didn’t have a lot for them to do. “They were quite busy, they did make a difference but I had no idea what to ask them to do,”he recalls. Born in Winnipeg to a pioneering family on Aug. 13, 1913, Norman was the eldest of four children and the only one still living. He recalls the Spanish flu epidemic that wiped out millions worldwide, including many of his neighbours, and joined the army
even before the Second World War so he’s outlived most of his pals at the Legion. “I go once and awhile now; I don’t spend nearly as much time or money as I once did… There are fewer people I know, and the younger ones are dying off, too,” acknowledged Norman, who enjoys a beer now and then and says he has no explanation other than blind luck as to why he’s lived so long. “It’s nothing I did or didn’t do,” he said, adding that there are others in the city more worthy of notice than he. PoCo, which has been celebrating its 100 birthday for most of the year, is nice enough, Norman says, and like all cities, it has its pros and cons. But even at the grand age of 100, Norman says he isn’t particularly fussy. “Any place suits me. I can live under a tree somewhere.”

“I was so happy when they picked him up,” she said.“I was so happy until I heard last week he was at it again. I just shook my head.” Browning said the man is clean cut and well spoken and she can understand how some people might be convinced by his story. “It’s been going on for years,” she said. “It bothers me that people are so naive... I would just like him to stop.” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said as long as the man is not threatening people or assaulting them when he asks for the money, there is little police can do. Officers were only able to apprehend him because he had unrelated warrants from Vancouver Island.
I have lived in PoCo all my life. What I find amazing is how diverse the community is, from the "downtown" area to the hilly park areas of Citadel Heights. PoCo is a small town that has it all.
Name:
Police unable to do much However, people should continue to phone the police when they believe they have been the victim of a scam so that investigators are able to keep tabs on the man, Chung said. “It’s annoying but there is no crime,” he said. “We do encourage people to keep calling. The more files we have on him, that puts us in a better position to come up with a long-term strategy on how to deal with the problem.” Chung added that people should not give the man money, which only encourages him to return to the area. “If he knocks on 50 houses and gets $10 or $20, he will go back to that neighbourhood,” he said. “We want people to just keep calling and we will be able to keep an eye on that.”

RV fire leads to propane tank explosions By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The westbound lanes of the Mary Hill Bypass were closed Friday morning after an RV fire broke out and quickly spread to the nearby brush moving toward Citadel Drive. With the recent hot, dry weather, it did not take long for the flames to travel to within 25 feet of nearby homes at the top of the hill, where crews were able to knock back the blaze. “It is not extremely heavy brush,” said Port Coquitlam fire chief Nick Delmonico. “It was lighter, quick-burning brush. It is a real concern this time of year. Everything is absolutely bone dry.” The fact the bypass does not have hydrant service further exacerbated the situation. Leaking propane tanks fueled the RV fire, quickly depleting a 500 gallon pump truck that was one of the first vehicles to arrive on the scene. Crews were eventu-
ally able to hook up with hydrants at a townhouse complex near Citadel Drive and began to fight the fire from the top of the hill. “There were a number of propane tanks that exploded during the fire,” he said. “Two were spewing propane on the fire.” Residents of the nearby townhouse complex were out with hoses, drenching the ground before the fire could reach their homes. Fire crews were able to hold back the blaze and nobody was hurt during the incident. Delmonico said it is difficult to say what started the initial blaze. Most vehicle fires, he noted, are electrical and this motor home was an older model. The incident snarled westbound traffic, with cars lined up to the Pitt River bridge and beyond. Vehicles were re-routed down Pitt River Road. Eastbound traffic was still able to move through the area, but was slow. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

What our patients say... Neck and Shoulder Pain “On day one, it was difficult to move my head all the way left and right and now I can. I could not lift my left arm above my head and now I can. THE PAIN IS GONE! If I hurt myself again, I will treat with LASER Therapy.” Dennis Moore (63) Foot Pain “I had pain in my big toe for over a year but after having only 5 laser treatments the pain was gone. I am happy with the service and the friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this safe, non-invasive therapy.” Theresa Kraynyk (81) Burn Injury “...My calf had made contact with a hot tail pipe of a Harley and the burn was just oozing. There was a noticeable improvement after one treatment, and after 3 in a row, it was as good as gone!” Debbie Moore (43) Sciatica “My GP could not offer any treatment other than pain killers and waiting it out. After six laser treatments I am now pain free and have resumed my active life style.” J.I. (70) Spinal Stenosis I was diagnosed with Central Canal Spinal Stenosis and was suffering with pain, bilateral foot drop and decreasing ability to walk. I had been recommended to do surgery to fix the pain. After 13 treatments of Laser Light Therapy, there was so much relief. I am no longer taking any pain medications. I have no tingling in my feet and am able to walk without my cane now. Vivian Tonietto (53)

Plantar Fasciitis Laser Therapy was a godsend. I suffered a severe case of Plantar Fasciitis in both feet to the point where I could barely function. After about 5 treatments I started noticing a change for the better and after 10 treatments I was able to resume my daily walks without pain and discomfort. It was also recommended that I wear proper orthotics to avoid future incidents. Diane (75) Wound “Thanks to laser treatment (6 treatments) and a course of vitamins, a very bad skin disorder over my legs and left hand cleared up. I had this problem for over 6 months. Thanks again.” Dan Scott (67) Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LILT will vary to some degree.

Pot cases Stay off mud flats: PMFD down, heroin, meth on uptick By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
BLACK PRESS
Marijuana possession cases still account for 60 per cent of drug violation reports to police in B.C., but the number of cases declined 10 per cent in 2012, according to new figures from Statistics Canada. There were 25,432 police-reported incidents of drug offences in B.C. last year, a 7.4 per cent decline from 2011. Marijuana trafficking cases declined more than 20 per cent to 1,006 incidents, and importation and exportation of marijuana declined by 40 per cent. Marijuana growing cases declined 4.6 per cent, following a 28.6 per cent drop in 2011. Heroin possession cases jumped more than 30 per cent to 500, and heroin trafficking cases rose 37 per cent to 224 incidents in 2012. There were 653 reported cases of possession of methamphetamine (crystal meth), a 20 per cent increase over 2011, and 110 per cent more than 2009. The decline in B.C. marijuana cases comes as licensed medical marijuana production increases across North America. Colorado and Washington state voted to legalize sale to adults last year. In July, Elections BC gave approval in principle for a petition drive aimed at decriminalizing marijuana possession in B.C. Marijuana activist Dana Larsen has formed a group called Sensible B.C., aimed at forcing a change to B.C. law that would prevent police resources from being used against simple possession of marijuana. Sensible B.C. is using the same voter initiative system that forced the repeal of the harmonized sales tax in B.C. The group will have 90 days starting Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. If that target is met, a province-wide vote would be held on the proposed law.
the deeper they will go. The woman rescued on Sunday was up to her chest in mud when they called emergency crews from a cellphone. It took firefighters, who train for mud rescues, about 30 minutes to free the woman and bring her safely to shore. “I’m sure it is a bit on the embarrassing side,”Parker said. “But it happens. We have put together a program and we have the equipment to make the rescue pretty quick. It doesn’t tie up a lot of resources.”

Port Moody Fire Department is warning the public to stay off the Rocky Point mud flats when the tide is out after a woman got stuck on the weekend. Rescue crews used special mud shoes to access the victim, running hoses from the shore to liquify the ground around her and pull her loose. Deputy chief Gord Parker said while the flats look safe to walk on, there are areas in the middle of the inlet where mud can be as deep as eight feet.
“They are deceivingly dangerous,” he said. “You really don’t realize it until you are in it. We definitely recommend people stay on the shore.” The woman was accompanied by a friend when the pair decided to set out for Old Orchard Park from the shores of Rocky Point. The two were able to get about 100 feet from shore before they ran into trouble. “Once it grabs you, there is nothing you can do,” Parker said. “It is amazing the suction that grabs on to your feet.” The more a person struggles, he added,

early 3,000 Tri-Cities households received food last year from the food bank run by Share Family and Community Services and those numbers don’t show any signs of dropping. Week in and week out, hundreds of people line up outside one of three food banks in the Tri-Cities. They get a bag of groceries, a kind greeting and leave a little lighter, except for the bag of pasta, canned food and other ingredients in their arms. The community is happy to support the food bank and no doubt there is a lot of need. But could there be a better way to deal with poverty and hunger? Share seems to think so and is looking at creating a new model of food bank, the Catalyst Centre, which would do more than simply collect and distribute food. If the model gets the go-ahead after six months of development and funding is identified, people who now get food from the food bank would also have a case worker to help them figure out how they can become more independent and improve their quality of life, and what they need to achieve this transition. Job skills, language skills, whatever it takes, Share would find a way to match food bank clients with resources to help them improve their lot in life. Some food bank clients might even give back as volunteers in the community (though it wouldn’t be a requirement for food), thereby enriching their own relationships in the community with all the social and economic benefits that would entail. Locating community resources in one area with case management and referral is not a new idea. But transforming the food bank from a simple collect-and-distribute model to one that is more responsive is novel and worth considering. For it to work, however, Share must leverage existing resources and government services rather than relying on community generosity, which is already stretched. A hand up instead of just a hand out is a smart idea, and we wish Share all the best in this transformation.
Another round – of liquor licence reforms BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he BC Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: Why can a family with children under 19 years of age go into a licensed restaurant for lunch but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until
T
the traditional 5 p.m.“happy hour”when the pub reverts to adults-only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the familiar produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out and RichmondSteveston MLA JohnYap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations, and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off: Recent incidents involving so-called“party buses”shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related but, to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle but

perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion: Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not license these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the BC Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on interprovincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby, which would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at
the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The BC Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and bclocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Punish offenders, not society for drinking The Editor, I will never forget the look on my dad’s face in the late 1980s as we were lined up at the entrance way to Buntzen and White Pine as we watched the RCMP pour out various alcoholic beverages from peoples coolers. At the time he said “I thought we moved to a free country...” I was 12 and we had arrived from communist Poland a few years prior. From that point forward I could never understand why the local alcohol regulations were/are so draconian. Jim Nelson feels that in order to enjoy a glass of wine one should “tipple it into a red plastic cup, respectfully concealing it from beach officials as necessary.” I would like to respectfully suggest that one should not have to feel like a criminal to responsibly enjoy an alcoholic beverage at the beach. Hiding it, drink-

ing from a paper bag or a plastic cup just seems so completely childish in today’s society. Our current legal system has determined that at the age of 19 a person is suitably mature to partake in the purchase and consumption of alcohol. In a restaurant, a pub, a theatre and at home.
Why not the beach? Why not the park? If a person is a hooligan and wants to be an idiot, they will manage to drink themselves silly before getting to the park or the beach. The vandals that started the fights and riots did not consume their liquor while walking down Robson — they consumed it in legal drinking establishments. Yet they still started the fights. So should we close the downtown core restaurants every time there is a major hockey game? Access to liquor and governing where it can be consumed is not the problem. Personal accountability is. Treat adults as adults and allow them to make their own decisions and mistakes. If the mistakes contravene laws, punish the offenders. Not society in general. Paul Zydowicz Port Coquitlam

Sprinkling fines issued in Coq. By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
If Tri-City residents want to go green, they may need to let their lawns temporarily turn brown. That’s the message from Metro Vancouver, which has imposed strict sprinkling restrictions across the region at a time of year that can see water consumption almost double. And while most TriCities property owners are abiding by the rules, a few homeowners and businesses are not getting the message. “More verbal warnings and written warnings have been issued [this year] compared to the past several years,” sa id Ca re ss e Sel k, Coquitlam’s environmental stewardship coordinator, later adding, “We are seeing some residents watering outside of the regulated hours.” B e t w e e n Ju n e 1 and July 31, the city of Coquitlam issued 40 verbal warnings and 284 written water conservation warnings. Two tickets were also issued, each carrying a $75 fine. (Coquitlam residents can report a sprinkling violation by calling the 24-hour customer service desk at 604-9273500.) Warmer weather this summer may be behind the increase in the number of warnings and tickets the city has had to issue, Selk added. S i n c e l a s t y e a r, when Metro Vancouver changed its sprinkling restrictions to morningonly watering, the city has been focused on educating the public. Those changes were necessary, Selk said, because demand for water is at its highest in the evenings, when most people are

The city of Coquitlam has issued two tickets, each carrying a $75 fine, to residents watering their lawns outside the regulated times. The municipality has also written 284 water conservation warnings.
Water tipS
• Let lawns go dormant over the summer — the grass will turn green again when the rain starts to fall. • Those who choose to water their lawn only need to do so for one hour a week. • Install a rain barrel and harvest rain for for the garden. • Leave grass clippings on the lawn to reduce evaporation. • Conserve water indoors by installing high-efficiency toilets and low-flow shower heads. – source: city of Coquitlam
• Residential: Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns between 4 and 9 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays while odd-numbered addresses can sprinkle during the same time period on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. • Non-Residential: Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns between 1 and 6 a.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays while odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle their lawns during the same time period on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

busy preparing dinner, washing dishes and doing laundry. Port Coquitlam has also issued a number of warnings during the recent spate of warm weather, handing out six notices to homeowners who were watering their lawns outside the regulated hours. Dan Scoones, manager of bylaws, said the city tries to educate residents about the importance of water conservation but repeat offenders will likely be fined. “If you get a warning and you do it again, you get a ticket,” he said. “It seems we had pretty good uptake on it this year. I think most people know the rules.” N o t i c k e t s h av e been issued in Port Moody so far this year.

Council for the City of Coquitlam is seeking written submissions from the public concerning the City’s draft Liquor Licensing Policy. In general terms, the purpose of the proposed policy is to establish a fair and consistent framework for all stakeholders (businesses, other organizations, the public, et cetera) yet provide Council the flexibility to consider the individual merits of each liquor licence application that has been referred to the City for comment by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (the LCLB being the formal provincial government body responsible for the actual issuance of liquor licences).

ParticiPAINT gives residents a chance to clean up streets Volunteers band together to wipe out graffiti in PoCo A wall that has been a frequent target for graffiti artists will be transformed into a public art display, courtesy of the Teens Against Graffiti (TAG) program’s ParticiPAINT project. People of all ages and artistic abilities are invited to join the group as they volunteer to help transform the outside wall of a Port Coquitlam business. The team will meet at the Hyde Away Youth Centre (1379
Laurier Avenue) on Sunday, Aug. 18 at 10:30 a.m. before walking over to the Home Video store on Coast Meridian Road. The mural will be painted on the north facing wall of the store, which has been a target for vandals. Mural and graffiti artist Kris Kupskay, a former PoCo resident who has been involved in several youth art projects, will design the work and volunteers will assist in painting selected parts of the wall. Those who attend can also assist in graffiti removal in the sur-
rounding area and a free barbecue lunch will be provided. ParticiPAINT is an opportunity for youth and local residents to take ownership and beautify their community, while gaining volunteer hours and learning to work with professional artists. Those who join in the second annual ParticiPAINT event should dress for the weather, bring sunscreen and sun protection and wear clothing they don’t mind getting splattered by paint.

Local duo want to put kindness on the map Couple will travel across North America on RAOKT tour By Dan Ebenal The TRi-CiTy News
A
pair of locals are preparing to embark on a journey they hope puts kindness on the map. Calan Breckon, who grew up in Coquitlam, will be joining Jessica Schafer on the Random Acts Of Kindness Tour (#GetRAOKT), which departs from Vancouver on Sept. 1. The pair will be travelling across North America performing random acts of kindness while volunteering with community groups and providing relief in areas hard hit by disasters. “It encourages people to get involved in their communities, do some volunteer work or a random act of kindness for a stranger, and start connecting again with others on a more meaningful level,” said Breckon. The tour also fits in with Breckon’s view on life: “You can’t change the world in one day but in one day you can change someone’s world.”
IN QUOTES
“It encourages people to get involved in their communities, do some volunteer work or a random act of kindness for a stranger, and start connecting again with others on a more meaningful level.” Calan Breckon The tour starts in Calgary because of last month’s flooding. “We want to go and volunteer there and help clean up,” he said.“Then we’re going to move down to Oklahoma, where they had the tornados.” From there, the pair will head over to the east coast, hitting Toronto, Montreal and New York before heading down to Florida and across to New Orleans. The tour also has planned stops in Texas, Colorado and California before returning to Vancouver next August.
“We’re two people who have not had the best childhoods per se, and without the kindness of other people, we wouldn’t have ended up where we are today,” said Schafer.“It’s just kind of our way of giving back and along the way meet incredible people. We get to travel and see the places we want to see as well as make a difference.” Not only will the pair be criss-crossing the continent, helping communities and making a difference in lives along the way, the travel promises to be its own type of experience. Breckon and Schafer plan to ride share and couch surf to save money on travel, using websites to arrange rides and places to stay. While the prospect of staying with local people to build a connection with the communities they visit does appeal to them, it also brings its share of apprehension. “Calan and I are both very strong people but I’m a girl and he’s a gay guy and we’re going to be travelling around North America and the south, and we don’t know how people are going to respond to us.You never know what’s going to happen,” Schafer said.
Taking on causes is nothing new for Breckon, who organized the Diversity Project, putting out a message about bullying, homophobia and racism. “[The Diversity Project] is dedicated to promoting love and compassion through diversity, education and understanding for not only the LGBT community but for all walks of life,” said Breckon. The pair have already got a jump-start on their project, performing a random act of kindness in Vancouver. They arranged a helicopter tour of the area for Yogi Omar, who does a lot of volunteer work and fundraising for local causes. While Breckon and Schafer have been pulling long shifts at their serving jobs to save enough cash to fund their trip, they have also set up a fundraiser page at www.fundmytravel. com, a website dedicated to funding purposeful travel.You can find more information about the #GetRAOKT tour at www.discoveringyourtruth.com/p/ getraokt.html.

well she copes with this and, yet, she still teaches for a year as professor after her diagnosis. But, since she loves teaching, she simply carries on. Sometimes you think that clever people should not get this disease, but Jack Webster had it. It can happen to anybody. I am very thankful that I have been able to avoid this disease so far in my life.

Regular blogger, Jean McRobbie at 92, is one our most prolific homebound readers. It is truly amazing how she retains information weeks after she has read a book and is always willing to share the story with me. Jean is a resident of Madison Care Centre. • Still Alice (audiobook) by Lisa Genova Still Alice (audiobook) by Lisa Genova is a story about a 50-year-old woman who is very smart and happily married. She is also a professor at a university.This novel is very interesting, describing the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease (which the character faces) and taking you through most of her life. It is surprising just how
Denise Racine is 87 and resides at Foyer Maillard. She listens to audiobooks as she is visually impaired and receives home-bound services from the library. Denise enjoys family stories with intricate plots which have happy endings, such as the following two books which she has reviewed. • Too Good to be True (Audiobook) by Sheila O’Flanagan Carey takes the plane from Ireland to NewYork City to go on a shopping trip and becomes friends with Ben, the male passenger sitting next to her.

MI5, plans to kill him in this book because he is devious and bright.There is a lot of friction because, even though Charlie is successful, they don’t like him.

In this book, what MI5 does not know is that Charlie is now married to a Russian secret agent and she could face the firing squad if their marriage is found out.

ibrary patrons who are visually impaired and homebound tell me repeatedly that library outreach services are their lifeline.They often like to discuss books they have enjoyed and this provides me with a great opportunity to request book reviews as reading suggestions for others. Transcribed reviews are posted on our reading blog, I Was Told There’d be Cake, and videotaped reviews are posted first onYouTube and then on our blog. Trudi Stephen is 94 and a resident at Madison Care Centre. She enjoys among others, Lee Childs, Robert Crais, Brian Cornwell, Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Diane Gabaldon, Judith Jance, John Leascroat, Michael Connelly, Clive Cussler — you get the picture. Historical fiction, drama, crime, espionage — the better if they are in series. No romance, minor plots or family stories for her. This is Trudi’s first review and we hope it is not the last. • Red Star by Brian Freemantle I thought Brian Freemantle had stopped writing the Charlie Muffin series a long time ago, when lo and behold, Teresa brought me Red Star Burning. The series is about espionage between Britain and Russia. Charlie is (you know what spies are like) two-faced. But he is very intelligent — there is always something around the corner with him. He is always double-dealing. The agency he works for,
York, they discover that their hotels are close by; inevitably, they fall in love.Then, they decide to go to LasVegas to get married. When they get home, everyone’s reaction is shock: the couple had married so soon. And it gets more complicated; in NewYork, the newlyweds had not revealed that they each had had a partner back in Ireland. Back in Ireland, the trouble begins.The couple have their wedding reception, Ben having invited his ex-girlfriend.The newly married couple fight and, soon after, separate. Carey even goes as far as to get in touch with her ex-boyfriend. On the verge of divorce, however, they get back together again. Love, sentiment, games adults play — I like all these twists and turns in romance novels. It hurts a reader like me when love affairs go awry with the characters, especially when you know that they really feel for each other.

Two Gr. 1 pipe bands at worlds By Janis Warren
O
The Tri-CiTy NeWs
f the 23 Grade 1 bands competing in this weekend’s World Pipe Band Championships on the Glasgow Green in Scotland, six are from Canada. And two of the bands that hail from B.C are based within a 20-minute drive from each other — both boasting about a dozen Tri-City residents each. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either a “fierce rivalry” or a “healthy competition” between the two internationally acclaimed musical groups. The Port Coquitlam-based Dowco Triumph Street Pipe Band — a 41-year-old ensemble sponsored by The Dowco Group of Companies — will state that it has “paved the way” for the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band as it was the first band outside of Scotland to clinch a world title (in 1979, it won the sash under lead drummer Willie McErlean — a Coquitlam resident — and placed fifth overall under pipe major Hal Senyk). At last year’s worlds, the 45-member Dowco took the top prize the Grade 1 qualifier for the second year in a row, scoring both the piping and drumming with first-place finishes. And for the final, the band ranked eight overall. SFU, on the other hand, acknowledges Dowco’s gains but is firm with its reputation. This year, its 50 members aim to bring home the highly coveted first-place trophy for the seventh time. In 2008 and 2009, the band secured back-to-back championship victories and, last year, it placed third overall behind eight-time winners Field Marshal Montgomery from northern Ireland and Scottish Power. SFU placed second in 2011, again finishing behind FMM. Because of their close proximity, Dowco and SFUPB often see each other on the competition circuit in B.C. and Washington State. “We’re fierce rivals,” said Dowco pipe major and PoCo resident David Hilder, whose wife, Shaunna, is the pipe sergeant and their son, Liam, is a piper. “We absolutely compete against each other... but we can contribute both of our successes to each other.” “It’s a healthy rivalry,” added SFUPB manager and Coquitlam resident Rob MacNeil, noting the success of SFU’s pipers and drummers at solo events and the strength of its leaders (see sidebar). Luckily, for the first day at the worlds on Saturday, the two groups won’t be seeing much of each other. For the first round, SFUPB is in Heat 1 while Dowco is in Heat 2. The format for this year’s event has changed, with organizers hoping to draw bigger crowds. Six bands qualifying from each

Dowco Triumph Street Pipe Band, pictured here at the 2012 worlds, has several Tri-City residents, including pipe major David Hilder, pipe sergeant Shaunna Hilder, Liam Hilder, Scott Wood, Tyler Wood, Gord MacRae, Phil Perry, Mary Bruce, Shelena Marsh, Jessica Lahti and Rob Abel. of the two heats will advance to the Sunday final. The Saturday qualifier will consist of a Medley and a March, Strathspey and Reel (MSR) while the final requires bands to play another Medley and MSR, meaning shortlisted candidates will have to perform four times (in the past, finalists from previous competitions didn’t have to pre-qualify). “It should pan out to be quite an interesting final,” Hilder said. “The expectations are that we’ll be in the final. We’re one of the favoured ones to make it.” MacNeil is equally confident. Last month, his full band played a rare public concert in Vernon and, most recently, there have been near-daily practices at SFU and at the Surrey home of pipe sergeant Jack Lee. This week, SFUPB is bunkering down in Stirling, Scotland, to hone its sound and to acclimatize with members who hail from Greater Vancouver, Seattle, Calgary, Winnipeg, Washington State, California, Minnesota, northern Ireland, Scotland and New Zealand. Dowco members also come from far afield — namely, Greater Vancouver, Washington State, California, Detroit, Chicago, Australia and Denmark — to train either in person or live stream via Hume Park in the summer
Lee wiNs MAsTers sOLO SFU pipe band pipe sergeant Jack Lee has won the Masters Invitational Solo Piping contest in Glasgow, Scotland, SFU announced yesterday (Tuesday). With the win, Lee earns an invitation to the Glenfiddich Championship in Scotland in October. Lee, who has won numerous major prizes as a solo player, was the first North American piper to win the Glenfiddich Solo Piping Championship 10 years ago.
and, in the winter, Douglas College and the Masonic Hall in New Westminster. Still, tensions aside, all this piping and drumming by the two bands has only meant good things for young musicians locally. Dowco has two 14-year-old drummers, including Amber Stone who has been with the Grade 1 band since she was 12 (she travels with her piper brother, Aaron, 18, twice a week from Mt. Vernon, Washington State, for prac-
tices). On the SFU side, its junior Grade 3s — the Robert Malcolm Memorial band — was crowned last year’s world champions, also under the direction of MacNeil. As a result of the win, five RMM members were promoted the following day to the Grade 1 SFUPB. They are Langley brothers Brian (piper) and Graham (drummer) Haddon, and pipers Daryl Techy and James MacNeil and drummer Gavin Macrae from the Tri-Cities. “It means a great amount to me that I have finally made SFUPB because the whole point of joining the RMM/SFU organization was to make the senior band, which I have been working my whole life for,” said James MacNeil, who was the lead drummer in the Grade 2 band last year. “The jump from Grade 2 to Grade 1 is very big. The bands in Grade 1 are bigger, stronger and demand perfection.” He added, “Going into a successful Grade 1 band as a rookie is very hard. Experience is the only thing that makes it easier.” • To follow Dowco and the Simon Fraser University pipe bands at the World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland on Aug. 17 and 18, visit theworlds.co.uk/. jwarren@tricitynews.com

PMAC marks 15 years with a members’ show
www.tricitynews.com
By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
While the city of Port Moody celebrates its 100th year with a family picnic at Rocky Point Park on Saturday, the building where the municipality was born will have an anniversary party of its own this week. Tomorrow (Thursday), members of the Port Moody Arts Centre (PMAC) — the first city hall — will unveil 30 pieces to mark the facility’s 15th year of operations. The display, titled Architecture: the built environment, runs until Sept. 8 and shows 26 artworks that use structures found in nature and society, said gallery co-ordinator Filio Kondylis. Among the 2D and 3D media in the main, 3D and Plum galleries are textile arts; sculptural ceramics; watercolour, oil and acrylic paintings; digital collage; mixed media collage and sculpture; and photography. Kondylis said the artists are PMAC members who have annual subscriptions that support the society’s work and programming. Currently, the centre has around 200 members. Opened in 1997, PMAC started with artists as volunteers running the heritage facility. The gallery and gift shop were open four days a week; however, two years later, a society was formed and arts classes were added for the community. Today, PMAC has a board of directors (with Ann Kitching as president), an executive director (Bruce Campbell) and more than 300 classes for emerging and veteran artists. As well, the society runs a number of large-scale events that receive govern-

And, later this year, the society plans to expand its space into the old Appleyard/Centennial House. In February, the federal government granted $480,785 to the society to renovate the former pizza parlour for PMAC workshops, training, ongoing programs and special events; the city is expected match the contribution. • The opening reception for Architecture: the built environment runs Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The public is invited to meet exhibiting artists, society directors and PMAC staff and have a slice of birthday cake. In addition to the members’ work, the Clay 4 U group will showcase its ceramics in the Plum Display Case until Sept. 8.

Adanacs tighten grip on B.C. crown By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
They may not have taken the easy road to get there but the Coquitlam Adanacs have found their way back to the top of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League. The Adanacs outlasted the New We s t m i n s t e r Salmonbellies 15-11 Sunday night to win the fifth and deciding game in the B.C. final. The Jr. A’s jumped out to a 6-2 lead after the first period in Coquitlam before New West fought back to tie it 8-8 heading into the third. “We got a big lead in the first and hit a bit of a blip in the second,” said head coach Neil Doddridge. “Then we grabbed the momentum back right at the start of the third and dominated the rest of the period.” Steven Neufeld and Tyler Garrison each supplied hat tricks, with Reid Reinholdt chipping in two goals and five assists. Michael M e s s e n g e r, Jo rd a n Gilles, Andy Taylor, Spencer Stevens, Vincent Ricci, Taylor Stuart and Matt Delmonico all provided singles. Davide DiRuscio and Peter Dubenski split the duties in the Coquitlam net, as they have done for most of the series. The Adanacs won the first two games of the series before the Salmonbellies clawed their way back, pulling even with a 9-6 win Friday in New West. Neufeld and Chase McIntyre each scored a pair in Friday’s loss, with Reinholdt and Jean-Luc Chetner also finding the net. But

Sam Goodman looks to corral a loose ball in front of Salmonbellies netminder Ross Bowman in Coquitlam’s 15-11 win Sunday night to capture the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League crown. Doddridge said it was the defence that was the difference in the series. “Our defence started to dominate their offensive players and that’s what it takes. When your defence is starting to dominate at that end of the floor it empowers everybody else to do well,” he said. The series win was a costly one for the Adanacs, who will be without sniper Wesley Berg for the Minto
Cup. Berg broke a bone in his foot during Wednesday’s Game 3 loss. “He’s our machine on offence. He’s the top offensive player in Canadian Junior Lacrosse and we’re going to miss him,” said Doddridge. “He’s our leader but every team has to go through adversity. I think championship teams have to go through those tough stretches.” Berg racked up 12
goals and 16 assists in six playoff games this year, finishing behind only teammate Neufeld (14 goals and 15 assists in eight games) in the league playoff scoring race. The Adanacs now head off to their fifth straight Minto Cup a p p e a ra n c e , f a c i n g off against the Rocky M o u n t a i n L a c ro s s e League champion Okotoks Raiders Saturday night (8:00) at Queen’s Park Arena.
The host Salmonbellies open the tournament Saturday against the Ontario champ Whitby Warriors. “Our team’s built for series play — we can wear teams down — so these one-off games can be a bit of a challenge,” said Doddridge, adding that being B.C. champion will allow Coquitlam to play in the late game during the round robin, something he sees as an advantage.
Blaze scorch Redlegs in season finale By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Redlegs bowed out in the semifinals of the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League semifinals. The Redlegs fell 11-2 to the Langley Jr. Blaze in Sunday’s semifinal. “We lost 11-2 but it was not an 11-2 game,” said manager Bill Green. “It was a close game all the way to the fifth inning. It was 3-2 at that time. We had
chances all over the place but couldn’t get any clutch hits which has basically been our downfall most of the year.” Coquitlam opened the tournament with a 2-1 loss to the Abbotsford Jr. Cardinals. “We were leading 1-0 virtually the whole game until they scored two on us in the bottom of the seventh. We just didn’t get any offence going,” said Green. “Jaydon White threw a great game and he was
also our top hitter as the tournament went on.” White stuck out six, while going 2-for-3 at the plate. Zac Comeault also went 2-for-3 with an RBI. The Redlegs then downed the eventual champion North Shore Jr. Twins 12-2 in their second game. Drew Horton gave up just six hits while White went 4-for-5 at the plate. “They’re the best team in the league all year and we just thumped them all the way,” said Green. “Drew Horton
threw a great game for us, kept them off pace and they didn’t get anything at all until late in the game they got a couple of meaningless runs.” Coquitlam completed the round robin with a 6-5 win over the Okanagan Jr. Athletics. The A’s knocked out starter Josh Mickelson in the first and Kole Benard came in to pitch seven full innings in relief, striking out nine and giving up only three hits. Evan Soutar and Trevor McKee were
both 2-for-4 with an RBI while Austen Butler went 2-for-3. “Langley and North Shore were a cut above the rest of the teams in the league with their talent and we should have been best of the rest,” said Green, who is expecting about half of this year’s lineup to move up to the Coquitlam Reds next season. “We finished in the final four for the second year in a row, so it was a plus season, not great.” sports@tricitynews.com
SeniorS Swept The Senior Adanacs j u s t c o u l d n ’ t ke e p pace with the Western Lacrosse Association regular season champion Langley Thunder. The Thunder knocked off Coquitlam 11-9 Saturday to sweep the best-of-seven series in four games. “They’re a tough team and we battled them. We just couldn’t get over that little, well big hump,” said Coquitlam head coach
Bob Salt. “I thought they ran more Saturday. They gave us a bad time with their transition game.” Daryl Veltman scored twice and added two assists for the Adanacs, who also got a pair of goals from Jesse Guerin and singles from Travis C o r n wa l l , B ra n d o n G o o dw i n , M at t h ew D i n s d a l e , M at t h ew MacGrotty and Brad Richardson. Adam Shute made 39 saves for Coquitlam while Brodie MacDonald turned aside 38 shots in the Thunder net. “Brodie in goal was the big story. We had lots of chances but he made some big saves, like he’s done every game,” said Salt. “We’re young, but you’ve still got to bury those chances if you want to go on. We had our opportunities to beat this team but we just didn’t take them.” Brett Hickey scored four times in Thursday’s 9-7 loss in Game 3. Veltman, Guerin and Dinsdale had the other Coquitlam markers. Salt was full of praise for the way his young team battled against the high-powered Langley squad. “They’ve got guys coming out their ears that can score goals. That’s pretty hard (to beat). You’ve got to be flawless in the D end and Shute’s got to save everything,” said Salt, who expects the Adanacs to be improved next season. “One thing that’s come out of this is we’ve got a No. 1 goalie here which I didn’t think I had going in.” The Thunder now face the Victoria Shamrocks, who swept the Burnaby Lakers in four games. sports@tricitynews.com
Bandits win title Hoisting championship banners is becoming one habit the Tri-City Bandits are in no hurry to break. The Bandits held off the Ladner Pioneers 9-8 Sunday at the Sungod Arena to win their sixth straight West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association title. The Bandits held a 3-1 lead after one period and went up 5-1 in the second before the Pioneers woke up. Ladner pulled to 5-3 at the end of the second and jumped ahead 6-5 in the third. The Bandits then staged a late rally, with Anthio Yuen scoring the eventual winner shorthanded. Ladner held a 2-1 series lead heading into the weekend but a 12-6 win by the Bandits Saturday night at the Port Coquitlam rec centre forced the Game 5 showdown.

The Poco Euro Rite FC U13 girls donated their jerseys to a boys team in Zimbabwe.
Donation felt a world away By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The efforts of one local soccer team are making an impact that extends far beyond the Tri-Cities. A team of 12-yearold girls donated their jerseys to a boys team in Zimbabwe. The idea came from team manager Vivienne Royle, whose colleague in the Coquitlam School District, Max Vincent, founded the Silokwethemba Project — We Have Hope. Vi n c e n t ’ s e f f o r t s have brought school and medical supplies to poor and orphaned children in the villages of the tiny African nation. Over the past decade, the Silokwethemba Project has provided the school fees for thousands of children in the 35 rural schools in the Tshelanyemba area. It has also distributed hundreds of pairs of shoes to area children who are passionate for soccer, often playing barefoot and using makeshift soccer balls made out of whatever material is available. Vincent also puts on a soccer school every year that wraps up with a World Cup-style tournament for children in the surrounding villages. “I raise money in Canada and every July I go back and I will pay the school fees, this year
it was for about 680 kids,” said Vincent, adding that it’s the soccer balls, jerseys and other equipment that makes the biggest impression on the children. “They’re just completely passionate about it.” Royle approached the coach of the Poco Euro Rite FC U13 girls who arranged for Vincent to make a presentation to the team, where he described the lives of the children in the African villages and explained the work done by the Silokwethemba Project. “We had these extra jerseys and we knew Max was going over and did the soccer program so we ended up asking if he wanted to take them with him,” said Royle. The girls then wrote personalized cards, offering best wishes to their new friends across the globe, which were tucked inside the jerseys along with a photo of the girl who had worn it. The girls’ wishes came true, with the boys winning their soccer tournament. “During his presentation, Max had discussed how the children don’t smile in pictures. It’s just something he has rarely seen,” said coach Trevor Perri. “When you look at the picture of the boys with their medals you can visibly see the smiles and other boys hiding their smiles. That just gave me goosebumps.” While the children’s reaction may have been subdued, Vincent said
their teachers “are just giddy they’re getting these uniforms. And they couldn’t care less if they’re used or not.” Perri said the difference the girls made in the lives of the African children will likely remain with them long after they hang up their soccer cleats. “The little differences you can make are that much more rewarding. I love to share the experience with these girls,” said Perri. “Part of my pre-season speech to the parents and the girls is we want to make wellrounded individuals. We don’t want to just make great soccer players, we want to make people that care and make a difference, and they’re showing they can.” The team has taken on a number of worthwhile projects in the past — making placemats for seniors and teaching soccer skills to younger children — but none that have made more of a difference or a bigger impression on the girls than this one. “We’re hoping that this is just a start,” said Royle. “We’re hoping more teams will get involved and hopefully our team will continue to be involved so it’s not just a one-off thing.” A n d i f t h e y d o, Vincent is sure to be there to make sure it gets to the children in Zimbabwe.

2013 Downtown PoCo Car Show SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2013 ~ 10 AM - 6 PM
Car Show Shines in Centennial Year T
hose that have witnessed the annual downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show the past eight years know that organizers attempt to keep the presentation fresh each year by bringing in different cars, displays and features. The 9th edition is certainly no exception celebrating the city’s 100th anniversary with an expected 500 collector cars and trucks plus over 75 gorgeous Ponycars in Mustang Alley. There is also a display of vehicles and automobile stories from past decades outside the newly opened Heritage Centre located in the Outlet in Leigh Square Art Village while inside vintage motorcycles from the Deeley Museum will be on display. There is plenty more entertainment as well in the Children’s Area featuring rock climbing, laser tag, a tumble bus, mini golf, and more are sure to keep kids of all ages busy. The main stage at Leigh Square will be rocking all day with a great variety of bands and performers from different eras that include The Reprise, March Hare Band and Night Shift that will have you singing the day away performing songs from yesterday and today. “Elvis is leaving the Country!”. Make sure you don’t miss Darren “Elvis” Lee’s final performance in Canada as he is off to his favourite home away from home, Hawaii, for a two-year engagement. Also be on the lookout for the Blues Brothers Too who will be entertaining the crowds all day throughout the show singing their hits and dancing in the streets. The Blues Brothers may seem crazy, but maybe not as our newest feature…The Strong Man Competition. If you like bulging muscles and men flipping tires that are several hundred pounds this competition is a must see. The list of features continues to grow again this year thanks to our dedicated volunteer committee and Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) staff Kalya Steele and Krysia Hamner who set a goal of making the show better each year and work year-round to accomplish it. Many thanks as always to the organizing committee made up of Bruce Richardson, Wayne Dudgeon, Tony Hall, Angie Hall, Mike Roberts, Brenda Washington, Brian Wormald, Bruce Kowallison and Glenn Pollock.
A ngelo’s
It is impossible to achieve these goals without generous support of our sponsors and it would be impossible for the show to go on without the support of merchants of the downtown (BIA) who not only donate funds but much-needed manpower that ensures this event goes off without a hitch. Also not to be forgotten is the generous support of the Magnuson family at Metro Motors. As reliable as their automobiles, Layne Sr. and Kent have once again stepped up to the plate providing both financial and in-kind support for the show. Be sure to drop by and say hello to Team Metro at their fantastic display booth located at the intersection of Shaughnessy and McAllister. A new sponsor to this year’s show is the TD Bank. The Prairie Avenue and Ottawa Street branches have come on board as associate sponsors and will be on site in our marketplace located on White Avenue. Other key supporters to thank include Tri-City News who continually promote the show prior to the big day, Trophy Centre that provide the dash plaques for participants, Pennington Holdings Ltd and Dominion Lending Centres that provide breakfast for the 500-plus participants at the Elks Club, AUTOGLYM Polishes and Waxes, Tim Horton’s, Pacific Car Art and not to be forgotten, the birthday city, Port Coquitlam. With it being centennial year and Homecoming Weekend, organizers hope to top the 60,000 spectators that attended last year’s show. Be sure to mark the date on your calendar and be a part of this fantastic annual community We can take care of your arrangements event. Great cars, great entertain(pre and at need), with any of our First ment and great times are once Memorial locations in the Lower Mainland again in store for the best show of the summer Sunday, August 18 at the 9th Annual Downtown Port FIRST MEMORIAL Coquitlam Car Show!

Car Show Etiquette
ike anything, the average car show is typically populated by denizens of the car culture. As such, most show goers know the few unspoken rules about attending such a display of automotive excellence; however, there always seems to be a few folks in the crowd that, being new to the hobby or “culture,” haven’t quite grasped those aforementioned rules in their entirety. So, in the interest of maintaining the show going peace, here are a few cardinal rules about admiring another’s machinery: 1) Don’t let go of your offspring. Sure, they may appear cute and cuddly, but the second they slip from your grasp, chances are good havoc will ensue. Ranging from horrible incidents involving suede interiors and ice cream or simply annoying handprints on freshly waxed flanks, the catalogue of calamities that have resulted from free range children at car shows is too long already, and doesn’t need any more entries. 2) Don’t let go of your dog. Predators by nature, dogs have been equipped with more than a few anti-car weapons by mother nature. Be it by shedding hair all over interiors, or scratching fresh paint with their claws, your dog is a veritable wrecking ball just looking for a target. 3) Don’t touch. It sounds simple, and it is… and yet we’re still amazed at the number of touchy feely people out there. Sure, poking a seat may not seem all that harmful, but consider that doing so requires the unthinking gesture of leaning, and leaning usually involves touching, and touching leaves fingerprints. And after spending possibly days cleaning and prepping a car for a show, fingerprints are the bane of most car owners’ existence. 4) Keep cigarettes, food, and drink away. While the reasoning behind food and drink may seem obvious, it’s often ignored, and with fatal results. No situation illustrated this better than the infamous engine inspector/ice-cream cone eater we observed who, in leaning

778-216-1055 over to inspect the firewall, ended up depositing two scoops of rapidly melting tin roof sundae into the venturis of the exposed Holley carb. Likewise, getting the odour of cigarette smoke out of an interior is costly and time consuming. 5) Consider your wardrobe. Feel like pulling that old, ratty, beer-stained Winternationals t-shirt out for the local show and shine? Be our guest. Kurt Cobain-style ripped jeans? A-Ok. Speedo? Sure, whatever. Steak Eating Champion of ’06 belt buckle? No. Hard parts like belt buckles, watch straps, bracelets, and even shirt buttons and jean rivets can inadvertently scratch paint, so be wary about what you wear. 6) Save your opinion for later. All too often we’ve seen show goers lambaste a car owner’s decision on everything from carburetion to fuzzy dice colour while standing mere feet away. Not only disrespectful, it’s downright rude. Instead, save your criticisms until you’re at least a few feet away. After all, you never know who the owner is… 7) Be respectful when you leave. Yeah, we get fired up about car shows too, but gratuitous burnouts en route to the exit is never a good idea… if only because the police are usually watching. Enjoy the show!

2013 Downtown PoCo Car Show SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2013 ~ 10 AM - 6 PM
Kid Zone Expands for Centennial Show Y
our child may not be quite old enough to drive just yet but they can still have fun in the expanded Kid Zone filled with great interactive booths and displays that are all FREE of CHARGE. A new feature to the area is the Vancouver Tumblebus which is a nationally recognized children’s fun and fitness program for kids ages toddler to ten. The original Tumblebus was started in the mid 1980’s in southern Indiana and was designed to provide tumbling and gymnastic instruction and fun and fitness activities to children by way of a mobile gym bus. Let’s see, fun and fitness sounds like a winning combination to us! Also new this year is Laser Tag, which is an exciting combination of tag and hide & seek with a little Star Trek thrown in for good measure. Players compete in teams to find and tag their opponents using high-tech lasers. Obstacles on the battlefield create opportunities to hide and ambush opponents. With a little bit of strategy, some quick wits (and even quicker reflexes) your team will emerge victorious. It’s a blast for kids from 8 to 80, and an awesome way to boost office morale. If you have ever watched Strongman competitions on TV you now have chance to see it live up close and personal at this year’s car show. Participants will be competing in disciplines such as Yoke Walk, Sled Drag, Giant Tire Flip, Log Press, Truck Pull and everyone’s favourite, the Atlas Stones. The competition gets underway at 11am and concludes with the awards presentations at 3:15. Returning this year by popular demand is The Rock Wall where you can test out your climbing skills on the 24 foot tall rock wall that can accommodate three climbers at a time. The climbing surface is free-form and textured to give the climbers the feeling that are climbing on real rock! The Rock Wall is great fun and their team of professions will make your experience a memorable and fun one. The portable wall is great fun and is open to anyone from three years of age and of all abilities. Also back is Bells and Whistles Miniature Golf with its 9-hole course to challenge your putting skills. See if you can brave the obstacles including lighthouses, bridges and windmills. Its great entertainment for the whole family as the course is challenging to both children and adults. It only takes about 15 minutes to play the course. If you like racing you will want to drop by SEB’s RC Shop’s area of the Kid Zone where they will be racing remote control cars all day and who knows? You might be able to try a few laps yourself! There also plenty of vendors throughout the area so be sure to join in. The fun runs from 11am-5pm in the parking lot behind the A&W on Wilson Avenue.

COQUITLAM 1121 Austin Ave. 604-931-2468
By Dean Washington
Each year the Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show honours individuals that make significant contributions to the automotive and motorsports industries. Past recipients include motorsports hall of famer Buck Kinney, downtown car show co-founder Pat Dales, motorcycle racer Steve Crevier and long-time car show volunteer and head judge, Ken Parker. This year’s recipient is no stranger to the Port Coquitlam automotive scene as he has been plying his trade here for over 30 years. Rick Leginus has been working on cars since he began helping at his dad’s business in 1964 cleaning tools. By age 14 he was working full time in the family business called Gilles’s Car Repair in Maple Ridge that he says was the busiest shop in town. At age 22 when his dad made the decision to retire Rick made the move to Trick Automotive in Port Coquitlam where he obtained his license as a certified mechanic. After five years with the company he made another decision to head out on his own and Rick’s Automotive (known today as R&L Automotive) was born. He ran the business for nine years in a space on McLean Avenue behind the Orphan Annie’s Café and after a successful time there he was able to purchase a warehouse unit on Coast Meridian Road which has since grown to three units in a row. “I have enjoyed spending my career in the area as I love the people of Port Coquitlam, everyone is so friendly which makes dealing with customers on a daily basis a lot of fun.” Rick’s is also somewhat unique in the automotive repair industry as his shop operates mainly as a general repair facility but they also always have one or two classic or custom builds on the go as well. His first love is restoring and building muscle cars but as he puts it “those aren’t the kind of jobs that pay your overhead, they are more of a fill in for us. They take a long time to complete as reproduction parts are always a crap shoot to whether or not they are going to fit properly.” His dad, who he says was crazy about Mustangs had four original Shelby’s and a 1970 Boss 429. Rick also shared this love affair and with help of his dad purchased a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang when Rick was only sixteen. As he put it, “My dad had the Big Boss and I had the Baby Boss!” Rick though is no “One Trick Pony” as he has built just about every kind of car over the years. His personal builds include a 1961 Chevy Impala Convertible, a 1964 and a half Mustang Convertible for his wife and is currently building a 1962 Impala Convertible. His favourite car of all time is the 1967 Shelby GT500 but could never afford one until one day when he came home from work his wife said she had found his dream car in California. It was ’67 Mustang bare shell which served as the base for Rick to build his own custom restomod style Shelby which his dad couldn’t wait to see the final product. Unfortunately his father didn’t get to see the finished product as he passed away three years ago. “He has been watching me build the car as his remains are on the bench in my garage. Once it is finished he will be the first one I take for a drive. “ Join us on the main stage during the awards ceremonies when Rick Leginus will be honoured as the 2013 recipient of the Downtown Poco Car Show “Wall of Recognition”.
T
his year there is a fabulous line up of entertainers featured on the main stage at Leigh Square that you won’t want to miss. The show kicks off with the city’s own “The Reprise” (10:30-11:45). The Reprise is a fun, energetic and creative funk rock band from Port Coquitlam that has been playing together for years. They will getting things started with songs from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush and Jimi Hendrix as well as many other great bands such as Stone Temple Pilots and Rage Against the Machine. March Hare Band (12:00-1:00) is known as the ‘super group’ of the Vancouver live music scene, comprising of an all-star lineup from the best of Vancouver’s bands.

2013 Downtown PoCo Car Show SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2013 ~ 10 AM - 6 PM
Kid Zone Expands for Centennial Show Y
our child may not be quite old enough to drive just yet but they can still have fun in the expanded Kid Zone filled with great interactive booths and displays that are all FREE of CHARGE. A new feature to the area is the Vancouver Tumblebus which is a nationally recognized children’s fun and fitness program for kids ages toddler to ten. The original Tumblebus was started in the mid 1980’s in southern Indiana and was designed to provide tumbling and gymnastic instruction and fun and fitness activities to children by way of a mobile gym bus. Let’s see, fun and fitness sounds like a winning combination to us! Also new this year is Laser Tag, which is an exciting combination of tag and hide & seek with a little Star Trek thrown in for good measure. Players compete in teams to find and tag their opponents using high-tech lasers. Obstacles on the battlefield create opportunities to hide and ambush opponents. With a little bit of strategy, some quick wits (and even quicker reflexes) your team will emerge victorious. It’s a blast for kids from 8 to 80, and an awesome way to boost office morale. If you have ever watched Strongman competitions on TV you now have chance to see it live up close and personal at this year’s car show. Participants will be competing in disciplines such as Yoke Walk, Sled Drag, Giant Tire Flip, Log Press, Truck Pull and everyone’s favourite, the Atlas Stones. The competition gets underway at 11am and concludes with the awards presentations at 3:15. Returning this year by popular demand is The Rock Wall where you can test out your climbing skills on the 24 foot tall rock wall that can accommodate three climbers at a time. The climbing surface is free-form and textured to give the climbers the feeling that are climbing on real rock! The Rock Wall is great fun and their team of professions will make your experience a memorable and fun one. The portable wall is great fun and is open to anyone from three years of age and of all abilities. Also back is Bells and Whistles Miniature Golf with its 9-hole course to challenge your putting skills. See if you can brave the obstacles including lighthouses, bridges and windmills. Its great entertainment for the whole family as the course is challenging to both children and adults. It only takes about 15 minutes to play the course. If you like racing you will want to drop by SEB’s RC Shop’s area of the Kid Zone where they will be racing remote control cars all day and who knows? You might be able to try a few laps yourself! There also plenty of vendors throughout the area so be sure to join in. The fun runs from 11am-5pm in the parking lot behind the A&W on Wilson Avenue.

COQUITLAM 1121 Austin Ave. 604-931-2468
By Dean Washington
Each year the Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show honours individuals that make significant contributions to the automotive and motorsports industries. Past recipients include motorsports hall of famer Buck Kinney, downtown car show co-founder Pat Dales, motorcycle racer Steve Crevier and long-time car show volunteer and head judge, Ken Parker. This year’s recipient is no stranger to the Port Coquitlam automotive scene as he has been plying his trade here for over 30 years. Rick Leginus has been working on cars since he began helping at his dad’s business in 1964 cleaning tools. By age 14 he was working full time in the family business called Gilles’s Car Repair in Maple Ridge that he says was the busiest shop in town. At age 22 when his dad made the decision to retire Rick made the move to Trick Automotive in Port Coquitlam where he obtained his license as a certified mechanic. After five years with the company he made another decision to head out on his own and Rick’s Automotive (known today as R&L Automotive) was born. He ran the business for nine years in a space on McLean Avenue behind the Orphan Annie’s Café and after a successful time there he was able to purchase a warehouse unit on Coast Meridian Road which has since grown to three units in a row. “I have enjoyed spending my career in the area as I love the people of Port Coquitlam, everyone is so friendly which makes dealing with customers on a daily basis a lot of fun.” Rick’s is also somewhat unique in the automotive repair industry as his shop operates mainly as a general repair facility but they also always have one or two classic or custom builds on the go as well. His first love is restoring and building muscle cars but as he puts it “those aren’t the kind of jobs that pay your overhead, they are more of a fill in for us. They take a long time to complete as reproduction parts are always a crap shoot to whether or not they are going to fit properly.” His dad, who he says was crazy about Mustangs had four original Shelby’s and a 1970 Boss 429. Rick also shared this love affair and with help of his dad purchased a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang when Rick was only sixteen. As he put it, “My dad had the Big Boss and I had the Baby Boss!” Rick though is no “One Trick Pony” as he has built just about every kind of car over the years. His personal builds include a 1961 Chevy Impala Convertible, a 1964 and a half Mustang Convertible for his wife and is currently building a 1962 Impala Convertible. His favourite car of all time is the 1967 Shelby GT500 but could never afford one until one day when he came home from work his wife said she had found his dream car in California. It was ’67 Mustang bare shell which served as the base for Rick to build his own custom restomod style Shelby which his dad couldn’t wait to see the final product. Unfortunately his father didn’t get to see the finished product as he passed away three years ago. “He has been watching me build the car as his remains are on the bench in my garage. Once it is finished he will be the first one I take for a drive. “ Join us on the main stage during the awards ceremonies when Rick Leginus will be honoured as the 2013 recipient of the Downtown Poco Car Show “Wall of Recognition”.
T

The three lead vocalists have all fronted successful bands individually and come together to form a powerhouse unit that performs all your favourite songs plus the best of today’s hits.
