1,000 school-age kids going hungry More food bank clients in Sept. By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

More than 1,000 school kids may be going hungry in School District 43 and breakfast and school

lunch programs may not be enough to support some of the neediest students. According to recent food bank statistics provided by Share Family and Community Services, 1,311 children are getting food from the food bank, and more than 1,000 of

them are school-aged between the ages of five and 19 years. And some of these children’s families are struggling, the statistics show, with three households headed by teen moms, 49 with moms who are expecting and 66 households with infants under one.

The challenges facing these family are severe, said Share’s executive director Martin Wyant, who said he expects more families to join the food bank line this month as school resumes. “What we see in the summer months is a bit of a drop-off,” Wyant

said. “When school comes back, parents are strapped [for money] and it increases.” School District 43 is also grappling with the issue of hungry kids. In 26 elementary schools, 250 children will be getting fully or partially subsidized school lunches

prepared in a kitchen at Central elementary school, and breakfast programs are expected to get under way at several schools, including Minnekhada, Maillard and Pitt River middle, plus Terry Fox secondary. see PEARCE, page A3

A final Fox Run for troops in Afghanistan 12 years of unique challenges for Kandahar runs By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

s a child, Christopher Lenihan would listen to radio broadcasts about a young man from Port Coquitlam running across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope in 1980 was an inspiration to Lenihan, as it was for many Canadians following his epic national journey, carried out on a prosthetic leg. Twenty-six years later, theVictoria resident would share Fox’s dream of ending cancer with a war-torn country where Canadian troops were stationed: Afghanistan. In 2006 and 2009, Master Cpl. Lenihan organized the Terry Fox Runs in Kandahar and, this month, he’ll lead the run with the third Canadian Division and others in Kabul.The event will be somewhat bittersweet for the Canadian and coalition troops as it will be the last in Afghanistan, with the Canadian Training Mission drawing down. In an email to The Tri-City News, Lenihan said his main reason for spreading Fox’s story overseas is to find a cure for cancer — a universal goal. “I cannot name a single family that I know

Michael Day (second from right), the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan deputy commander responsible for support to Afghan National Army training, cuts the rope at the start line of the Terry Fox Run held in Kabul on Sept. 16, 2011. Right, more participants in the armed forces’ 2012 Terry Fox Run held in Afghanistan.

Second in a series that has not lost a brother, sister, father, mother, grandparent, aunt, uncle or even a son or daughter to cancer,” he wrote. As well, Lenihan is a supporter of the Chilliwack-based Terry Fox Foundation, a familyrun charity that has col-

lected $600 million in 33 years to curb cancer. “Just like every family has suffered and lost to cancer, so, too, can we see the improvements in the quality of life and the survival rate from the great work and research that is being done because of the success of the foundation and other organizations like it,” he wrote.

Judith Fox-Alder, the foundation’s international director, who will be travelling to China later this month to take part in its 20th anniversary Fox run, said Afghanistan has been the site of Terry Fox Runs since 2001 and collected more than $150,000 for the cause. Most of the funds raised outside Canada stay in the host country to fund approved cancer research projects (in 2011, the 51 international run sites saw 2.3 million participants and brought

in $1.2 million) but the money from the military runs is returned to Canada. “We have been told that this last run [in Afghanistan] will hold great significance for our troops there and that the Terry Fox Run has always been a great morale booster for the members,” Fox-Alder told The TriCity News.“Just as Terry inspired a nation in 1980 and continues to do so worldwide, our armed forces have inspired all of us in Canada.”

FOUR TRI-CITY FOX RUNS

There are four Terry Fox Runs in the Tri-Cities on Sunday, Sept. 15: • The Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam (Hyde Creek rec. centre, 1379 Laurier St., 10 a.m. start); • Coquitlam (Blue Mountain Park, 10 a.m. start); • Port Moody (Rocky Point Park, 10 a.m. start); • and Anmore (Spirit Park, noon start). For more information, visit terryfox.org. She added,“There are many challenges that are faced when organizing a Terry Fox Run in the best of circumstances but these pale into insignifi-

cance when compared to those faced by our courageous troops on a daily basis over the past 12 years.”

BACK TO SCHOOL: Not every student has new clothes and supplies, and a hearty, healthy lunch

Store, community pitch in for school supplies By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Remember the smell of a new notebook or how excited you were to get a new box of paints when you were a child? That same excitement will be felt across the Tri-Cities as some of the community’s neediest kids get help with school supplies. This week, Staples in Coquitlam delivered bags of school supplies to 19 elementary schools in School District 43 to fill the desks and backpacks of 450 children. “The need is just huge,” said Janna Nimmo, general manager, whose store and staff raised the funds, bought the supplies at a discount, packed the bags and delivered them to appreciative school principals. Nimmo said she and her staff feel great about

DiANe StrANDberg/the tri-City NeWS

Janna Nimmo, general manager of Staples in Coquitlam, checks out some of the school supplies that will be delivered to Coquitlam district schools. Thanks to donations from residents and additional support from the store, hundreds of children in 19 elementary schools will get scribblers, pens, paints, crayons and other supplies to get them started this school year. the annual supply drive because it fulfills a need. “I know everybody

struggles, everybody goes paycheque to paycheque,” she said. “This is for peo-

ple who are way beyond that. They have to decide ‘Am I going to eat today or am I going to pick up lined paper for my son?’ It’s really tough for these folks.” In some cases, she said she has heard refugee children are benefitting from the gift. In other cases, the supplies support classrooms where teachers are already buying items for their students with their own money. Some schools will hand out the supplies directly while others put them out on tables and let families choose what they need. Nimmo said she wants to thank the generous donors who helped raise money or bought supplies for the supply drive, which continues tomorrow (Saturday). dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Pearce: ‘We will not let those kids go hungry’ continued from front page

And where there are no food programs, schools will buy snacks and hand them out, according to assistant superintendent Julie Pearce, or needy high school students will get a break on cafeteria meals. At CABE (Coquitlam Alternative Basic Education), school lunches are also free. “We will not let those kids go hungry,” Pearce said. In addition to providing school lunch programs, select schools with high numbers of vulnerable kids will offer literacy support, counselling and after-school programs with $1.4 million in Community Link funding. But the district has long contended that isn’t enough money as the number of vulnerable kids has grown 40% in

Martin Wyant is the CEO of Share. the last four years. Wyant wants this to be the year his organization, along with Tri-City businesses, schools and community groups, figure out what to do about child poverty. “One of the things I’ve learned is it’s not an area that gets a great deal of study,” Wyant said. “Early childhood development gets money — I’m a big supporter of that — but there’s not a lot

of energy and research around studying policies [regarding poverty]. If it’s something we want to effect change, we need to understand it.” He says he hopes teachers and students talk about poverty in the classroom to address stereotypes, and that kids will be compassionate if they see someone alone or in need. As to the wider issue of child poverty, that’s a conversation he would like to see at the community level so there’s something more for families than a handout. “That’s what keeps me up nights,” he said. “It’s just that image. It’s just degrading, [people] standing in line, when you see children there with their family to get a bag of whatever food we’ve managed to cobble together… There’s got to be a better way.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The PoMo problem: Speed up traffic or calm it down?

Two visions for traffic in MurrayClarke corridor

604‐638‐1041 | info@reserveadvisors.ca

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

As people head back to work after summer vacation, Port Moody is wrestling with its usual daily gridlock and a transportation future where fewer people drive cars seems a long way away. According to one report presented to PoMo council, as many as 76,000 cars travel on St. Johns, Clarke and Murray streets in a 24hour period, 25% more than travel along the busy Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam in the same stretch of time. The issue came to a head Tuesday as Moody politicians grappled with two competing issues at a committee of the whole meeting: slow down traffic on the Murray-Clarke corridor to promote shopping and recreational activities; or create a more efficient transportation system so cars can get through the city to work and home. A report on St. Johns Street efficiency options suggested signal changes, installing lefthand turn bays, extending the HOV lane and using intelligent transportation systems to increase the capacity of the corridor. Meanwhile, a consultant’s vision of the Murray-Clarke corridor based on community input looked at slowing down traffic with narrower streets, more pedestrian- and bikefriendly amenities and getting rid of the HOV lane on Clarke. Councillors had a difficult time putting together the two competing visions. “Not everybody rides a bicycle,” said Coun. Rosemary Small, who noted families need cars to get to work and their children’s activities. Among the various options for MurrayClarke presented by Bill Lambert, a consultant with Stantec Consultant, was widening sidewalks, thinning the street and adding roundabouts, as well as adding more pedestrian crossings and an overpass, and diverting more traffic onto busy St. Johns. Lambert said some cheaper short-term fixes could include adding wayfinding signs and public art while the idea of turning the corridor from a thoroughfare to a “complete” street would appeal to a younger demographic that prefers transit to driving.

See why 2 of Jane's patients believe in acupuncture: • P. Chew, 88 years old was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up & sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily. • 51-year-old Kelly felt body pain especially on the neck, shoulder, waist and back every day and night over the past few years. She tried everything and finally came to Acupuncture by a TCM doctor and Acupuncturist Dr. Wang who used TCM technique and Acupuncture to help her and relieve her pain. Now she is free from the pain and misery and became a happy and healthy person.

diane strandberg/the tri-city news

Murray, Clarke and St. Johns streets in Port Moody carry as many as 76,000 vehicles in a typical 24-hour period, according to a report presented Tuesday to city council. “These are things you could do fairly easy and quickly,”he said. Coun. Zoë Royer agreed that costing out public art and signage would be a vote of confidence for a more bikeand pedestrian-oriented future for the corridor while Coun. Rick Glumac liked the idea of promoting more options

to free people from their cars. “I really support what I’m seeing here,” Glumac said. Other councillors weren’t so sure that cars are going the way of the dinosaur. “My paranoia is people say this but I don’t know if this is true,” Mayor Mike Clay said.

While no decisions were made, the future of both corridors will likely be hashed out when the city redoes its transportation plan, likely starting next year. The St. Johns Street and Murray-Clarke presentations will be on the city’s website at portmoody.ca/trafficreports.

Hope for Freedom has hope for church shelter Time tight to get city approval for a homeless shelter By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Rob Thiessen is hoping the city of Coquitlam will come to the aid of the region’s homeless before the cold, wet weather sets in this fall. Thiessen, managing director of the Hope for Freedom Society, would like to see the temporary bridge shelter program running at one of Coquitlam’s churches but time is short. Oct. 1 is the usual date for opening the temporary shelter, which rotated through five churches in the Tri-Cities for several years until it found a temporary home at a Port Coquitlam church. But Thiessen acknowledged he doesn’t have a lot of time to get Coquitlam council’s approval for the shelter project even though a Coquitlam church has come forward to host the temporary homeless shelter, and volunteers are ready to work.

Moving the shelter poses some difficulties but Thiessen is confident it would work. “That would require the least amount of change, wouldn’t require busing, could be in the same neighbourhood and provide security for buggies and bikes,” Thiessen said. He’s still surprised PoCo turned down the shelter that was so effective in getting people off the streets. In July, PoCo council voted against renewing the temporary use permit for the shelter at Northside Grace Church after people complained about drug use in the area, a claim Thiessen disputes, stating the people involved weren’t shelter users.

ORIENTATION

Meanwhile, an orientation meeting is planned for Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7:30 p.m. for volunteers wishing to work morning (5:45 to 7:45 a.m.) and evening (9 to 11 p.m.) shifts when the shelter opens. The meeting will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church at 2318 St. Johns St., Port Moody.

A toonie may not go far but it can go a long way to supporting people in the Tri-Cities who depend on food banks. Once again, $2 Food Bank BC Sharing coupons are available at grocery stores in the region. Just peel off a coupon and ask the cashier to ring it in to your purchase. All proceeds support food banks run by Share Family and Community Services. “While we are most grateful for every food donation we receive, the money from this campaign allows us to purchase the food that we most urgently need,” said Martin Wyant, Share’s CEO. “Quite often we have an influx of soup but are completely out of peanut butter and canned meats. The coupons enable us to purchase these items, and other healthy and nutritious options that we don’t often receive. “If you are able to donate a can or $2, it’s the $2 that’s most helpful to make the best purchases.” For more information, email Martin Wyant at martin.wyant@sharesociety.ca.

Food, thought

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

■ WHAT WE THINK:

ome kids just throw their lunches away while others go without. This is the strange situation most schools in B.C. find themselves in as they deal with poverty in the classroom. Even in a middle class suburb like the Tri-Cities, there are pockets of want and need, according to the Early Childhood Development Index and other statistics. Thankfully, schools are stepping up and students who need them are getting bag lunches at low or no cost, or, if they are older, a break on food at the school cafeteria. Even where school lunches are not available, principals and teachers keep stores of snacks on hand so no child goes hungry. On the other side of the coin, there are students who have no time — and, sometimes, no inclination — to eat the lunches they brought from home. Too often, uneaten food ends up in the trash or the compost. It’s a dichotomy that we will live with unless all kids can learn to appreciate the food they eat.

The Bateman strategy: Kill TransLink & reg. vision AS I SEE IT Gordon Price

ot that I want to publicize Jordan Bateman (the local spokesperson for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation) even more, since the media do enough of that already (and let’s face it, I get my fair share of coverage, too), but in the absence of leadership from local leaders, Mr. Bateman’s strategy regarding the transit referendum may well prevail. And what strategy is that? Why, getting people to vote against their self-interest in order to effectively disable TransLink — and with it, the regional vision we have pursued for decades with considerable success. Not, of course, that Metro citizens will intend to vote against more transit or a more sustainable region. But thanks to Mr. Bateman’s strategy, that’s what will happen. Here’s how the strategy works: • First, discredit government — in this case,

TransLink — and the collective goods we purchase with taxes. Ignore the larger purpose of the organization and concentrate on the“bureaucrats,” whom you can dismiss contemptuously. • To do that, use small examples, real or manufactured, to tar the entire organization. Whether free coffee for staff, bonuses for executives, teething problems for Compass cards, policing costs (or not enough policing), the installation of fare gates (or not installing fare gates) — it doesn’t matter what the examples are so long as there is a steady beat of criticism, amplified for and by the media. • Maintain that any new programs can be paid for by eliminating“waste, fraud and abuse.” Never give credit for any instances where that actually occurs.TransLink has already had three performance reviews and an audit, it has already saved millions in“efficiencies”(often a euphemism for cuts) but never mind. Always maintain that spending is“out of control.” • Establish the bottom line as No More Taxes. Do not ever get into a debate about the value and merit of what those taxes purchase. Simply

IN QUOTES

“Establish the bottom line as No More Taxes. Do not ever get into a debate about the value and merit of what those taxes purchase.” Gordon Price repeat, and repeat: No More Taxes. • Suggest that voters can “send TransLink a message” by voting for“none of the above” on the transit-funding referendum. It matters not that eliminating the entire administration of TransLink (about 4% of its budget) would barely pay for a few more bus routes, much less a multi-billion-dollar rapid transit line. Insist that cutting salaries and perks is a necessary condition — though never sufficient — before discussing new revenues. At that point, simply assert that we’re taxed out, even if we’re paying less taxes or getting new services. By aggressively attacking the organization

so that those in favour of a new tax will have to defend it before they can argue in favour of its funding, you disarm the proponents before they even begin aYes campaign. Meanwhile, time is running out — 442 days left until Nov. 15, 2014 (though it’s possible that the referendum might be held in May or June) — and we haven’t even got the wording yet, much less leadership for aYes vote. One wonders whether the Canadian Taxpayers Federation was instrumental in convincing Premier Christy Clark to go with the referendum idea during the election since it gives the group an ideal platform to pursue its agenda. Better yet, blame for a No vote can be put on local politicians for their inability to convince the electorate. And the subsequent cutbacks on local transit services as other sources of revenue decline thereby justify another round of criticism of TransLink. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

ndy, Andy, Andy. The instrument has not been invented that could measure my indifference to Justin Trudeau’s marijuana usage. Who cares? This tedious gotcha journalism is such a feeble attempt to titillate the public and the reefer madness thing is so three decades ago. If admitting to“taking a puff of a marijuana cigarette”were any kind of a political litmus test, our politicians would all be either liars or asthmatics. Baby boomers are the oldest of those wielding political power in Canada, and boomers tried pot when they were young. In fact, I’m not sure anyone who didn’t “take a puff of a marijuana cigarette” is sufficiently socially aware to represent us. Does that mean I want stoners as politicians? Well, I’m not sure. The prospect of “Honourable Members” becoming “Honourable Dudes” in Parliament rankles a bit. And although a few tokes may serve to mellow a startlingly hawkish foreign policy, the image of a munchiesstricken Stephen Harper and cabinet scarfing down Cheezies at late-night cabinet meetings is ugly.

But so is drinking and driving, padding expense claims, ripping up signed contracts, giving public railroads to friends and other real crimes in which politicians eagerly partake with impunity. But all of this is moot, anyway, Andy. Don’t worry.Trudeau-led stoners won’t soon be taking over the reins of Canadian political power. “Stoner” and “successful politician” are mutually exclusive terms.The enterprise and industry required to scrabble one’s way to political power is absent when one’s most pressing imperative is often an amazing air guitar solo or where that last cookie went. It will be a long time before parliamentary pins double as roach clips. Tut-tutting politician’s marijuana usage is one of many irrelevancies that dumb down politics, keeping us from discussing those pesky important issues that actually require some analysis.

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

Bring Rainbow to sochi The Editor, Russian legislation now effectively bans any public display of support or even mere acceptance of so-called “non-traditional” sexuality. Widely held as anti-gay, this has spurred global protest against this anachronistic, retrograde, mentality. With the Winter Olympic games in Sochi this winter, strident calls to boycott, or even to move them have ensued. While Olympic boycotts as symbolic gestures are perhaps better

than nothing, as history attests, they will also achieve nothing better. Time and again we have seen that this merely deprives athletes who have

trained exhaustively for years the opportunity to compete, and diminishes the quality of competition that remains; the games in all their pomp and ceremony, and proud celebration and promotion of the host country, simply roll on, largely unawares. What, then? What if everyone who goes to Sochi prominently wears rainbow badges, or sports rainbow colours: athletes, team personnel, and, most importantly, visi-

tors? And, what if we all encourage Olympic sponsors to incorporate the rainbow in their messaging, and support those products and services that do? Not everyone will do this, of course, for there are those who agree with this Russian policy, and still others who won’t have the will to stand up to it. But the more who do, the stronger and more powerful it becomes. Ron McKinnon, Port Coquitlam

By land or by sea, you can help clean up PM shoreline Volunteers sought in canoes, kayaks By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The annual Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup in Port Moody is getting a little wet this year with the introduction of a cleanup by kayak or canoe. While as many as 80 volunteers or more are expected to scour the shoreline by land on Sept. 21, water-borne litter pickers will be digging detritus out of the inlet on Sept. 28 in co-operation with Rocky Point Kayak. The local business is teaming up with the Port Moody Ecological Society for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup — the canoe and kayak version — on Saturday, Sept. 28 between 9 and 11 a.m. at Rocky Point Park and members of the public are welcome. PMES president

Sandra Niven said people can bring their own water craft or rent one from Rocky Point Kayak. “There’s areas that you just can’t walk,” she said. “There’s tidal dangers and mud dangers. It’s easier to go by canoe.” People wishing to rent a craft from Rocky Point Kayak, should cite GCSC so they can be tracked. Jamie Cuthbert, owner of the business, said he’s happy to support a project that keeps the shoreline clean. Meanwhile, volunteers are still needed for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup that takes place Saturday, Sept. 21. Port Moody Ecological Society will be organizing a cleanup of the shoreline around Port Moody Inlet. Volunteers are needed for registration and sorting among other things.

Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own watercraft or rent one from Rocky Point Kayak for the second of two Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup days on Sept. 28. The land-based cleanup takes place one week earlier.

Cleanup can be funny The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is fast approaching and to get you inspired, the promoters of the national litter cleanup have posted a humorous but pointed video. The video (www.shorelinecleanup.ca/en/content/shoreline-cleanup-video) shows whales and canoeists plowing through a mound of watery garbage. Its creators are hoping to mobilize thousands of volunteers to rid their local shores of litter that is harmful to marine life. Locally, shoreline cleanups are planned for Port Moody on Sept. 21 and Sept. 28 (see story at left for details).

PoMo OCP back to council – and you, too By Jason Roessle

The Tri-CiTy News

The main planning document for the city of Port Moody is coming back before council Tuesday night. And residents will get another chance to have their say later this month. The official community plan (OCP) is up for its regular five-year revision and PoMo mayor and council will be receiving all the feedback accepted at city hall since the last round of public consultation meetings in June, said Mary De Paoli, manager of planning. The 2013 draft version of the OCP reflects a focus on the future installation of two Evergreen Line stations and the potential accompanying development that could occur, she explained, amongst other concerns. Further revisions can still be made if council so wishes after reviewing the response from taxpayers and outside agencies. Two town hall meetings were held in June, preceded by a May presentation to council of public engagement results and a draft version of the plan. About 250 feedback forms were received during the threeweek period in April and May when the online sur-

Port Moody residents are invited to join the local police department’s email group. Each week ,the PMPD’s community relations officer sends out emails to the group talking about crime trends, recent activities, statistics and crime prevention tips. If you’re interested in participating, send an email to media@portmoodypolice.com. vey was active. The forms asked respondents to show, on a scale of one to five (1 being “Don’t Like” and 5 being “Like”), their thoughts on the proposal for each of the seven subareas in the OCP. Some of the results included queries to the public about the Gateway, a mixed-use neighbourhood with building heights of six to 12 storeys at the end of Barnet Highway; a prominent public art piece; and development that complements the nearby heritage conservation area. Sixty per cent of respondents liked the idea while 17% were neutral and 23% didn’t like it. Other results included discussion about Inlet Centre and giving consideration for mid- and highrise buildings in Coronation Park of three to 30 storeys; multi-family housing up to four storeys in the 3300-block of Dewdney Trunk Road;

mixed-use developments of up to 12 storeys on the north side and up to six storeys on the south side would be considered. The Honda dealership, Esso station and Onni Suter Brook Parcel D sites could also be up to 30 storeys. In that instance, 54% liked the proposal while 12% were neutral and 34% didn’t like it. Concerns throughout the survey focused on increased traffic, the need for more parks and open space, pedestrian and cyclist use, impacts on view corridors and, in some areas, lower building heights and density. Another town hall meeting is scheduled for Sept. 30, said De Paoli, and this will again give the public the opportunity to directly speak to council. A short presentation will kick off the night but the PoMo residents are encouraged to ask questions and share their ideas. jroessle@tricitynews.com

“But it’s to make the system work and these things weren’t known by us or the supplier at the time.” Operating costs have escalated on some fronts, she said, including provision of customer information. Mike Madill, TransLink vice-president of enterprise initiatives, wouldn’t disclose details, only saying the costs of the project are currently being examined as part of a recurring review and more information will be available in a few weeks. “I wouldn’t even say overrun at this point in time,” Madill said. “I would say we’re reviewing the budget and we don’t yet know what that review will show us as to whether or not there’s any adjustment to the budget required.” He wouldn’t say what final project cost estimate was last provided to TransLink’s board. Madill noted the original budget figure was in 2009 dollars and that some escalation by 2013 isn’t unexpected. Both Madill and Olewiler rejected accusations that TransLink has failed to deliver the project on time because the faregates — labeled “Operational in Fall 2013” — won’t actually be closed and holding back would-be fare evaders until well into 2014. They say the gates are operational now — although not yet flapping — and Compass cards are being tested in advance of the smart card being made available to the general public in the months ahead. Madill said Compass cards will be made avail-

able to small limited groups of passengers starting in late fall, with more being added in stages through the winter and into the spring of 2014, by which time anyone should be able to get one. The closing of the gates so people can no longer simply walk through and must tap their cards for access should happen sometime in 2014, he said, but timelines may shift depending on what’s learned in passenger beta tests. “We haven’t changed our plan,” he said, adding the strategy has always been to begin with testing and then use a carefully measured rollout to work out bugs and ensure riders have lots of time to adapt to the changes. Regular tickets and passes will continue to work in parallel with the Compass cards for months before old fare types are phased out and the gates lock. “I think it’s semantics,” Olewiler said. “I don’t view it as a delay. I view this as a logical way to bring in a very large IT and behavioural change project. We’re going to take the time to get it right.” Asked if TransLink will collect more net fare revenue from passengers by reducing prepaid fare discounts — Compass Card users will get just a 14% discount versus cash fares instead of the more than 20% now provided to FareSaver ticket buyers — Olewiler said that’s not the aim. “It was not the overall intent to raise prices,” she said, adding the system of discounts had to be streamlined and simplified.

smart card system. TransLink originally opposed installing faregates, arguing revenue recouped from fare evaders — up to $7 million a year — would never cover the costs. But the system was mandated by then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon and TransLink planners decided smart card payments would bring many advantages.

“Some will pay more, some won’t pay more and some will pay less.” FareSavers are to be eliminated Jan. 1, but there are concerns that if TransLink sticks to that timeline some riders may have to pay full fare while they wait to get Compass cards. Provincial and federal government contributions cover about $70 million of the budgeted cost of the faregates and

Restore green, majestic Riverview for the ill green scene Elaine Golds

MOre On THe green scene n Burke Mountain Naturalists meet next week: see page A26 n TreeFest will be held on Sept. 14 at Riverview, featuring tree walks and tours: more info on page A31

estore Riverview Hospital? Absolutely. Create a centre of excellence for mental health care at Riverview? What a great idea. These progressive concepts were advanced last week by two mayors, Ernie Daykin of Maple Ridge and Lois Jackson of Delta.They hope to take this idea in the form of a resolution to the Union of BC Municipalitiesâ€™s annual convention later this month for adoption by cities across the province. I wish them every success in this insightful endeavour. This was, of course, the goal the original planners had for Riverview Hospital when it was established back at the turn of the last century. For many years, in fact, Riverview fulfilled this role magnificently. With its graciously designed grounds intended to provide a peaceful and healing environment, plus its inspiring heritage

Niall Williams photo

Riverview Hospital offers a variety of buildings including these residences which can provide care in a home-like setting. buildings, Essondale (as it was originally called) was intended to remain as a place of refuge and care for some of the most vulnerable members of society. In the 1950s, the need for its services was overwhelming as staff struggled to provide care for almost 5,000 patients. Now, the tables have turned. With the advent of modern drugs and budget-minded provincial government, policies over the past decade have been directed towards the emptying of Riverview with the unfortunate

result that unacceptable numbers of mentally ill people are now living on the mean streets of east Vancouver and in our local ravines. Why is it that to be mentally ill is no longer considered to be a health problem? Why has this become, instead, a police problem? How hardhearted have we grown as a society to believe that appropriate treatment for the mentally ill is complete abandonment with an occasional overnight in a jail cell rather than medical care in a healthcentred setting? While the development

of modern drugs has certainly been responsible for remarkable resolutions to some mental health care problems, not all such problems can be fixed by the simple writing of a prescription. Those suffering from severe schizophrenia are unlikely to take prescribed drugs on their own, nor are they capable of making sensible decisions about their lives. Once such people make the mistake of taking hard drugs instead of prescribed ones, their lives quickly turn into a downward spiral. Such patients need sta-

ble, longer-term care in a facility such as Riverview Hospital, not overnight confinement in a jail cell. As responsibility for caring for the mentally ill has shifted inappropriately to the police force, the costs to municipalities have soared. In Vancouver last year, the police apprehended 2,636 people under the Mental Heath Care Act; in 1999, only 360 such apprehensions were made. I was stunned to learn police in Surrey spent more than $600,000 over five years to handle 1,500 calls to deal with just eight people who should be receiving treatment within the mental health care system. This is an utter waste of tax dollars that should be more effectively spent providing health care. Riverview, with many buildings spread over its spectacular 100-hectare site, was designed to provide such care in a holistic setting. It offered

recreational facilities, including a bowling alley and various sports fields. It also provided industrial services where patients could learn new life skills. With its therapeutic landscape and world-class collection of trees, it also offered patients training in horticulture and landscaping services. Clearly, there is an urgent need for such treatment facilities to help the mentally ill and provide a stable environment in which they can slowly regain their health. Our society is also facing another tsunami of mental health care as baby boomers approach the age of retirement and declining health. Predictions are that the number of people suffering from dementia will increase dramatically in a few years. Eventually, all such people will require long-term care, at least for a few years. Not too long ago, Riverview, through its

Valleyview facility, provided assessment services for dementia patients in a modern hospital setting. Sadly,Valleyview is now closed even though the need for such services as well as longer-term care facilities is rising. I cannot think of a more perfect and tranquil site to provide long-term care for older patients with diminishing abilities than the beautiful and pastoral grounds of Riverview. But instead of developing a strategy to deal with such urgent mental health care needs, the provincial government has turned its back on Riverview. Now there is no longer a budget to even mow the grass. People who are expecting the usual groomed and graceful lawns at Riverview for Treefest this year are going to be dismayed. Nonetheless, Riverview continues to offer what could be the perfect site and solution for a number of our mental health care needs.

Some people call them the “rats of the sky” but this species is providing information about the environment around us, as detailed at the Sept. 10 Burke Mountain Naturalists meeting. DONG HAN PHOTO

Those darling starlings Fifteen years ago, SFU professor Tony Williams began to study the breeding biology of European starlings. He hoped his research would shed light on some evolutionary issues that would be relevant to all bird species. Little did Williams realize that the data he collected would capture a time of rapid change in local agriculture that in turn would influence the starlings’ breeding behaviour. More surprisingly, his research findings have led to starlings now being used by 4.3125” x 8” Environment Canada

Dealing with data focus for Beaudoin “Merely skimming and archiving information stymies cognitive productivity. There’s not enough active reading.” Luc Beaudoin ogy and process the information. The book applies to anyone who wants to benefit more from information, he says. “We haven’t really evolved to deal with the vast amount of information” available to us through the few clicks of a mouse or swipes on a smartphone. Annotation is one of the keys, he said. Web browsers are not well-suited to helping people learn, Beaudoin states, ways to annotate passages are not readily incorporated. He says there needs to be a universal way of annotating content from a number of sources, including eBooks, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. There is technology out there, such as Skim for Mac, which can work, but “if we don’t use the technology well, then it won’t be efficient.” Beaudoin also spoke about parallel processing [multi-tasking] and how it’s less efficient. “It’s better to tackle large chunks” of work, he said. “When trying to do quality, intensive work” being interrupted hurts productivity. In 2010, Beaudoin founded CogZest, an educational consultancy research company, and at the behest of the late Steve Jobs, Apple’s founder, wrote a report with recommendations

on how cognitive productivity-stimulating features could be incorporated into products such as the iPad. Features similar to ones Beaudoin suggested, such as a global mute button and ways to flag important information, were implemented. jroessle@tricitynews.com

A former Port Moody resident and SFU professor is aiming to help people learn how to better handle the massive influx of information bombarding them daily. In his new book Cognitive Productivity, Luc Beaudoin explains that to most efficiently deal with the onslaught of information delivered to our fingertips every second, we must develop a process to categorize the data. “Merely skimming and archiving information — which most of us do to try and stay afloat on our sea of information — stymies cognitive productivity,” said the cognitive scientist who now lives in Pitt Meadows. “There’s not enough active reading, annotating and harvesting of information gems [high calibre and useful knowledge], which we must then practise recognizing and using if we’re to become expert with the knowledge.” But cursory examination of multiple data sources is helpful, he added. “Skimming is acceptable to decide whether the information is worth delving into.” When a new piece of data is received, we need to decide to what projects and goals it applies — this determines the information’s importance and how it should be handled. In the research-based book, released on the Vancouver-based online bookstore leanpub.com, Beaudoin explores how people work with technol-

And it needs your help. CVSS is looking for 25 volunteers (age 40 years or older, five men and 20 women) to visit Tri-City seniors who are isolated and lonely. These seniors are interesting people who would enjoy sharing their stories and hobbies with a friendly visitor. Women are matched with women, and men with men. Below are descriptions of a few of seniors who are waiting to share one and a half to two hours a week with a volunteer visitor who shares similar interests: • an 85-yearold woman in Port Coquitlam would like a volunteer visitor to talk with and perhaps enjoy going out for walks together; • an 86-year-old man who loves to play Scrabble and enjoys keeping up with current events would like a gentleman to visit with him; • an 82-year-old woman who has lived in Sri Lanka and Britain would like a visitor who shares her love of cooking; • a 79-year-old woman who’s a retired RN would like to meet a visitor who would enjoy going out for walks together; • and a 100-yearold woman born on the prairies and enjoyed various sports throughout her life would love a visitor to reminisce with. CVSS’ next volunteer orientation will be held Sept. 24 at Wilson Centre, 2150 Wilson Ave., Port Coquitlam; the registration deadline is Sept. 17. For more information and to register for this rewarding volunteer experience, call Sue or Suzanne at 604927-7919.

Stay loose and free of pain, too Many people carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. But many people also suffer from shoulder pain, which can make carrying the weight of the world a bit tough to handle. According to the Physiotherapy Association of Bc, shoulders are extremely prone to injury since the ball of the upper arm is larger than the socket that holds it. This results in many problems such as sprains, strains, dislocations, rotator cuff tears and frozen shoulder. B.C.’s physiotherapists offer their“Physio-4”for shoulders — four tips on how to get relief for painful shoulders and keep British Columbians moving for life. “Early treatment and following the Physio-4 for shoulders can result in a faster and better recovery,” said Rebecca Tunnacliffe, CEO of the PABC in a press release.“Be mindful, however, that some shoulder problems require surgery and professional

guidance is essential during your recovery.” The Physio-4: • Get in balance. The shoulder joint needs the perfect balance of strength and flexibility to keep it in great shape and injury free.Your physiotherapist can assess your movement and show you how to strengthen the rotator cuff to keep the shoulder positioned optimally in the joint to prevent improper mechanics while moving the arm. • Correct poor postural habits. Improving your movement, strengthening your shoulder muscles, and correcting poor postural habits can improve your shoulder function and reduce pain. Learning the right skills for your activity is important for preventing many shoulder injuries.Your physiotherapist is a movement expert who can prescribe specific exercises to improve your movement and posture.

• Keep it loose. Frozen shoulder is a debilitating and painful condition, which is a common complication of many shoulder injuries. Physiotherapists can help with pain relief and a faster recovery, and show you how to keep the shoulder moving through the full available range of mo-

tion to maintain optimal muscle balance around the shoulder girdle.Your physiotherapist can provide specific exercises to correct imbalances. • Get the right advice. Shoulder dislocations, separations and instabilities require specialized rehabilitation to protect your

injury and have you back to full activity. Consulting a physiotherapist can reduce the need for shoulder surgery; if you need surgery your physiotherapist will refer you to a physician. To learn more about how physiotherapists keep British Columbians moving for life, visit movingforlife.ca.

Live, work and play at MOSAIC’s Fremont Blue By Kerry Vital

MOSAIC Homes is bringing a touch of colour to Port Coquitlam with Fremont Blue, their new townhome development that’s a paradise for outdoor lovers. The second phase starts sales this month. “This is the most exciting property today,” says MOSAIC’s Geoff Duyker. “It’s just a beautiful place to live.” Fremont Blue is bordered by the Pitt River, the 25-kilometre

Traboulay Trail and park land. “We’ve had people stop by the Home Store on their bikes after getting off the trail,” Duyker says. “It’s really rare to be able to live in this kind of setting.” The homes themselves include open-plan layouts with plenty of space to relax or entertain, oversized windows and nine-foot ceilings throughout the main living areas to maximize your sense of space. “We are doing what we do well in terms of creating beautiful

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

housing,” Duyker says. “MOSAIC has a long track record of building sought-after homes.” Fremont Blue will be part of the master-planned Fremont community, which will include shopping and restaurants. You’ll also be close by schools, leisure and recreation opportunities, as well as the convenience of the Port Mann Bridge, or commuting to Burnaby or Vancouver without having to cross the river. “The whole neighbourhood is going to look a lot different in a few years,” says Duyker. “You could literally live, work and play here. This is the most significant master-planned development in the region.” Buyers will also have access to the Fremont Riverclub, which will include 12,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, including a lap pool, outdoor cooking area, gym, fitness studio and a great room with a big-screen TV, lounge, pool table, card tables and entertainment kitchen and bar, among many other things. Homes start in the mid-$300,000s. For more information, visit mosaichomes.com, call 604-552-0319 or visit the Home Store at 2332 Ranger Lane, open between noon and 6 p.m.

Kitsilano is a vibrant neighbourhood, and Kits360 is perfectly situated to take advantage of every amenity, above right. Among the gorgeous features you’ll find in your new home at Kits360 are stainless-steel appliances and high-gloss cabinetry, below right.

A well-rounded life at Kits360 By Kerry Vital

Kitsilano is one of Vancouver’s most desirable areas, with its array of amenities and outdoor activities all in one place. Intergulf Development Group is now bringing an equally enticing offer to the neighbourhood with Kits360. “Kits is one of the best neighbourhoods in Vancouver,” says project manager Macartney Greenfield. “We named the project Kits360 because there are amenities in literally every direction.” That’s no exaggeration. Kits360 is just steps from the 5th Avenue Cinemas, shopping on West 4th Avenue and recreation on the seawall. You’re also minutes from South

Granville, Yaletown, Granville Island and downtown Vancouver, as well as Kits Beach, Kits Pool and the boardwalk trail. “Kits is a very vibrant community,” Greenfield says. “And that atmosphere can be found in the community of Kits360 as well.” The homes are completed and move-in ready now, which Greenfield says is one of the big draws for buyers. “There’s been a lot of excitement around completion,” she says. “Many happy homeowners have already moved in, and there’s already a great energy within the building. This is definitely an opportunity you can’t miss. It’s a phenomenal place to live.” The final release of inventory at Kits360 features just 15 two-bedroom suites and penthouse homes, ranging from 776 to about 978 square feet. Many homes feature fantastic ocean, mountains or city views and space for outdoor entertaining. “They’re really the cream of the crop. The floorplans available give you lots of flexibility depending on how you live your life,”

Greenfield says, noting that both downsizers and growing families alike have found their dream home at Kits360. “Our floorplans are designed to make condo living a reality for our buyers with flex spaces for their home office, nursery, or whatever they may need,” she says. Each home is spacious and open, with plenty of room to entertain or relax. The kitchens are particularly beautiful. “The kitchen is really the jewel of your home,” Greenfield says. “It’s a huge focus for people and Intergulf did it right.” The stainless-steel appliances are complemented by a modern stone backsplash high-gloss cabinetry and stone countertops. “You can spend tons of time entertaining in here,” Greenfield says. You’ll find engineered laminate wood flooring throughout your new space, as well as over-height ceilings in most homes and a stackable washer/dryer. The bathrooms hold luxurious soaker tubs and plenty of thoughtful details.

“Older homes in Kits don’t have these features,” Greenfield says. “This is a rare opportunity to get this calibre of living and this address.” The amenities at Kits360 are truly topnotch, including an expansive rooftop terrace and outdoor barbecue with a garden, lounge and kitchen area, as well as a courtyard water feature and two fully equipped fitness centres. There is also a 24-hour concierge and bike storage space. With all the amenities available at Kits360, there’s an immediate feeling of luxury as you step inside the building. It’s also obvious that the project fits perfectly into the neighbourhood and everything that makes the area so great. The final release of two-bedroom homes at Kits360 start at $599,900. For more information, visit www.kits360.com, call 604-737-0360 or visit the sales office at 1777 West 7th Avenue, open starting Saturday Sept. 7 from 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Friday, or by appointment.

now! The TriCiTies

Now’s the time to seed IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

TThe TriCiTies here is no better time of the year than right now to seed a new lawn or, in fact, to overseed old ones. Reasonably warm late summer weather, cooler evenings and heavy dew are all ideal ingredients for success when seeding or overseeding. If you are planning to put in a new lawn this fall, there are a few things you should know: One of the most important factors is proper soil preparation. Working the soil deeply (8-16 inches), adding plenty of sand and making sure the soil is open and porous is critical to allow grass roots to penetrate deep to find their own moisture. It’s important to understand that lawn grasses love a sandy loam with little organic matter. As a matter of fact, lawn grasses create their own organic matter. Within two years of planting a new lawn, even in straight sand, you would have one of the finest vegetable garden areas possible. Lawn grasses require excellent drainage. In the Lower Mainland, all the playing fields are planted in at least 12 inches of pure sand.These lawns not only look great but they can also be used all winter long because they are firm even after heavy rains. Open, porous soils provide excellent drainage, allow good oxygen penetration and are, by far, the best base for newly seeded or turf lawns. A quality seed is also very important.Today, we are looking for easier maintenance, lasting green colour and resistance to many diseases. A blended seed mix is always best because if one grass is on a low ebb at a particular time of year, the other

varieties will take over. As a rule of thumb, blue grasses love the summer, fescues prefer the cooler times of the year and the many wonderful new perennial rye grasses add a great look all year round. The price of seed and the look of lawns vary, of course, with the types of seeds used. Five pounds (4.5kg) of seed generally cover 1000 square feet (100m2). It’s important to invest in quality seed for a long term great look. If you choose to lay turf, it’s wise to get good advice from knowledgeable folks. The preparation for seeding or laying turf is the same,TriCity so you have the option to go either way. Real Estate Section banners Once a new lawn is seeded, germination will Filed: PoCo Editorial, Editorial take between 10 to 14 days and then it becomes TC, a race between weed seeds and cultivated grass seeds. We all know that the weeds will win unless the grasses are helped along with fertilizers. A formulation of 7-21-7 or one that’s similar, is ideal because of the high phosphorous content for fast root development.The nitrogen should be controlled-released to prevent burning and so that the nutrients are available when the grasses are rooted and ready to grow. Slow-release nitrogen also keeps the nitrates in the turf. Once the lawn’s up and growing, mow it low and in a different direction each time to prevent it from laying down. If you have an established lawn that’s looking a little ragged and tired after a long dry summer, overseeding is the answer - you’ll be delighted to see how quickly it bounces back. Perennial rye grasses are the best for overseeding because they germinate faster than other grass seeds, are compatible with all other lawn seeds and add fresh new life. Make sure you water two to three times daily after seeding or overseeding until the grass is up and growing.

Riders ground Eagles to open season

Coquitlam Roughriders quarterback Max Kennedy stiff arms his way past a North Surrey Eagle in junior bantam football action Monday. The Riders won the game 25-22.

ElainE FlEury photo

The Coquitlam Roughriders staged a dramatic comeback to open their junior bantam football season on a winning note. Quarterback Max Kennedy ran in for the winning touchdown in the final minutes to help the Roughriders to a 25-22 win over the North Surrey Eagles Monday. Mitch Bye scored a pair of touchdowns (the first in his six-year career) with Edvin Colakovic also notching his first major in six years playing. Fullback Adam Tennent powered the Roughriders’ ground attack while Layth Begg, Tre Johnson, Mitch Bye, Jaden Sevrey and Jarrod Hills were standouts on defence. In other opening day action, the Vancouver Tro j a n s e d g e d t h e Coquitlam Chargers 22-19 in bantam division play.

Express add goalie for start of BCHL campaign By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

One of the top goaltenders in the Canadian Junior Hockey League will be between the pipes for the Coquitlam Express when they open their B.C. Hockey League season this weekend in Chilliwack. The Express acquired 20-year-old Gordy Defiel from the Brooks Bandits

in exchange for goalie Daniel Urbani, forward Garrett Forster and defenceman Bryce Eviston, who the Express just obtained from the Vernon Vipers in exchange for future considerations. “We wanted to get a veteran guy and he’s got a ton of experience,” said Express coach Barry Wolff about the 2013 finalist for the CJHL goalie of the year award.

“He played for a team in Minnesota that went to the Royal Bank Cup and Brooks beat them in the semifinal.” Brooks acquired Defiel earlier in the off season from the Minnesota Wilderness, where he compiled a 25-1-2 record while leading all CJHL goalies with a 1.39 goals against average, .945 save percentage and eight shutouts.

Defiel set single-season records for goals against average and save percentage for the Superior International Junior Hockey League, being named that league’s top goaltender. Defiel’s prowess in net will be a welcome addition to a Coquitlam team that has struggled to find an offensive spark in the preseason. The Express wrapped up their pre-

season with a 3-1 loss to the Powell River Kings Friday night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. Coquitlam scored more than one goal only once on their way to a 1-3 preseason record. “We had lots of shots but we didn’t think we went to the net hard enough,” said Wolff of Friday’s game. “We outshot them by 20-something. But scoring one

goal, that’s not enough.” Defenceman Marc Biega hit Nic Beaudin with a 130-foot pass to send him in all alone for Coquitlam’s only goal. The regular season opens with the Bauer BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack. The Express will take on the Merritt Centennials Friday at 4 p.m. before facing the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Sunday at 11 a.m.

“They know there’s going to be a ton of scouts there and then the families come so that’s a distraction,” said Wolff of the Showcase. “They’ll be excited but we have to remember it’s just two regular games, other than they’re oddball times for us. We just need to play it like any other game and at the end of the day two points is what we need.” sports@tricitynews.com

Familiar face returns to guide Poco figure skating club By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Leanne Swensson may be new to her role as skating director with the Port Coquitlam Figure Skating Club but she’s no stranger to the local arena. “It was like my home so now coming back as a director is like coming home,” said Swensson, who was a member with the club from 1979-89. “It’s all been remodeled but in the rink it

all looks essentially the same, the same bleachers, the same music room. You kind of have this flashback of remembering my sister skating and running around the top. Even the smell of the rink comes back to you. I spent many an hour in there.” Swensson’s coaching career includes stints in Mission and Maple Ridge, and she spent the last four years working in the fitness industry and a private skating

school in Mississauga, Ont. Swensson comes from athletic bloodlines — her father Pete Swensson was the first recreation director in Langley and founded the Langley Walk more than a half century ago. “He was a coach himself and he was an athlete,” she said. “I guess I followed in his footsteps unbeknownst to me at the time. It’s kind of nice to have that background.” Now that she’s back in

Leanne Swensson the Tri-Cities, Swensson said her first order of business will be to increase the club’s mem-

bership, which currently sits at about 120. “There’s so many options out there now and a lot of people go through the city and that’s great because they’re still skating. But our club offers something that’s more unique,” said Rhea Attar, publicity director with the club. The club provides members with the opportunity to join CanSkate, Canada’s only national learn-to-skate program which teaches the funda-

mentals of skating in a progressive and sequential manner. There is also the STARSkate program for those interested in pursuing the sport of figure skating and the CanPowerSkate program which focuses on stride technique, speed, and agility for hockey and ringette players. “We offer more of a personal connection so we can make sure skaters are in the right program and have the right knowledge so they can

improve,” said Swensson. “As the new director, I will focus on a fun, encouraging and progressive learning environment.” The club is open to members from three to 93 and will be accepting new registrations in September. For more information on the club, call 604-220-0491, email pocofsc@gmail.com or visit their website at www.pocofigureskating. com. sports@tricitynews.com

Tri-Cities youngsters have a chance to brush up on their basketball skills with the help of some top-flight instructors. A free basketball clinic will be held Saturday at Terry Fox secondary, with children in Grades 5 to 8 taking the court from 9-10:30 a.m. followed by those in Grades 9 to 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “It’s really to focus just on the basic skills: dribbling, ball handling, shooting. The big thing is just to get them back out there and brush up on their skills a little bit before the season starts,” said Pete Vieweg,

go on to post-secondary varsity sports.” He said 3D Basketball has arranged for future clinics at Terry Fox on Saturdays and is working on lining up clinics at another location during the week. “We hope the kids will come and check it out (Saturday) and maybe down the road they can come see about our programs on a regular basis,”said Vieweg.“We’re looking forward to introducing our product. The overall goal is to improve the basketball skills and really give kids something to strive for.” To find out more about 3D Basketball and its upcoming programs, visit www.3dbasketball.net. sports@tricitynews.com

renegades capture west Coast Cup The CMFSC U12 select girls Renegades struck gold over the Labour Day weekend at the West Coast Cup in Pitt Meadows. Chanelle Prestia was the Renegades leading scorer, notching six goals in the four games. The Renegades also got scoring from Christa Tascona, Ava Mongrain, Alex Hinrichs and Claudia Carbone. The Renegades received solid goalkeeping

from Diana Emelanoff, who was helped by the defensive play from Milena Wilson, Keely Lind-Petersen, Jessica Towner and Laura Marshall. Sierra Santorelli and Olivia Gallina were also strong contributors with their aggressive play in various positions on the field.
