Shooting linked to gangs Simone Blais sblais@thenownews.com Police believe gangs are behind the shooting death of a 27-year-old man in Coquitlam Wednesday night. Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Cpl. Dale Carr said officers have no suspects in Wednesday’s late-night shooting that killed one man in the Superstore parking lot, located off Lougheed Highway between Westwood Street and Christmas Way. “We’re confident it was a targeted attack,” Carr said. “We’re now conducting a thorough search of the area for video.” Shots rang out around 9:45 p.m., alerting witnesses to the area. Sitting in a black Mercedes in the store parking lot, the victim had been hit with several bullets. Several people called 911 immediately, drawing a quick response from Coquitlam RCMP members and B.C. Ambulance. “Paramedics were able to stabilize him enough and transported him to hospital; however, he died a short time later,” Carr said. The identity of the victim has not be released, pending notification of next of kin. IHIT investigators were called in shortly after, and combed through the area most of the night and into Thursday. Given the proximity to the late-night grocery store, investigators are hoping people in the area can offer clues as to suspect descriptions. “There could be a great deal more witnesses, and we’re hoping more will come forward,” Carr said. “We’re still trying to put the pieces together for this.”

Councillors knew of contaminant ‘We never kept it a secret,’ Port Coquitlam Coun. Darrell Penner says Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com A massive storage cell is being built to house a contaminant near the Coast Meridian Overpass, and two Port Coquitlam councillors say the remediation work is no secret. Yet despite frequent project updates on the progress of the overpass, which opened last March, information about the contaminant wasn’t widely publicized until The NOW reported on it Wednesday. City staff refer to a material found on the site as “carbon cruciate” or “carbon crucible” material, which they say consists of “fractured graphite crucibles with carbon and metal residues, used as a

mould during the furnacing process in the production of tungsten carbide alloys.” While city staff say this material is left over from Kennametal Inc., a metal manufacturer located on the site from the 1960s to the 1990s, the Pennsylvania-based company said earlier this week it had never heard of such a substance. In 2002, Kennametal sold the land to The Beedie Group, which subsequently sold a 2.4-hectare (sixacre) section to the city to build the overpass. As part of the deal, Beedie agreed to remediate the area and meet Ministry of Environment requirements. The company is now lining and capping the top of a 207-metre (679-foot) lock-block container, large enough to store 30,000 cubic metres (one million cubic feet) of the substance.

Coun. Michael Wright said council knew about the contamination all along. “The contamination of the site certainly came before council from Day 1,” said Wright, who was acting mayor this week while Greg Moore attended the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference. “We knew the site was contaminated and that it was going to be, I’m pretty sure, Beedie’s responsibility to do the remediation on that site.” Yet Wright said he’s not sure if the matter came up during the public consultation process. “We had so many meetings, I just cannot remember the details of every meeting … We all knew.  CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, see ‘IT’S NOTHING.’

It was important that local residents see what their transportation system could do,” Jarvis said. “Many found out that there are alternatives beyond driving alone in a vehicle: there’s walking, cycling, ridesharing and especially, that our integrated transit system is a surprisingly viable option.” TransLink is hoping to cash in on the wave of public transit use by gauging people’s reactions to the 2011 financial base plan. Maintaining ridership after the Olympics, coupled with the successful TravelSmart program, is a key factor in achieving the region’s goal of increasing the share of trips by walking, cycling and transit to more than 50 per cent of all trips by 2030. Long-term planning is also supposed to be included in the base plan, which will help form Transport 2040, the long-range transportation strategy for the region.

Centennial meeting set for Wednesday Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com School District 43 is seeking input on the possibility of including a neighbourhood learning centre in the new Centennial Secondary. Neighbourhood learning centres are a provincial government initiative to combine education and community services under one roof. New schools will be allotted an additional 15-per-cent space for services like childcare programs, sports and recreational programs and family resource centres. The province is encouraging all districts to incorporate this vision when planning new schools. The Ministry of Education would provide funding for the extra space needed to host these services at Centennial, which needs to be replaced due to seismic concerns. A public information session will be held on Wednesday, June 9 at 7 p.m. in the courtyard at Centennial Secondary, located at 570 Poirier St. The goal of the consultation is to determine the best way to link the school with community services. For those unable to attend, a short survey is posted on the district’s website at www. sd43.bc.ca.

Suspect in murder of Coquitlam student to stand trial Lena Sin Canwest News Service After eight years, the trial for the murder of Coquitlam student Amanda Wei Zhao is finally moving ahead. Ang Li — Zhao’s then-boyfriend, who is accused of committing the murder where Zhao lived in Burnaby before fleeing to China — has had his trial referred to Beijing’s 1st People’s Court, according to NDP MLAs Mike Farnworth and Jenny Kwan. The Zhao family has told the MLAs the trial will be pub-

lic, but a date has not yet been set, they said. Li was just 19 when he allegedly killed his girlfriend, Zhao, who was 21. He had reported her missing in October 2002 from the basement apartment they shared in Burnaby. Police found her body stuffed in a suitcase near Stave Lake in Mission weeks later. Three days after the body was found, Li fled to his native country. Seven months after he returned to China, Li was charged by B.C. prosecutors with second-degree murder. For years, the case was stalled, as there is no extradition agreement between China and Canada. But Zhao’s parents continued to fight for justice and, despite

Police search for missing man Police are seeking help in finding a distraught Port Moody man reported missing just before 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Const. Bill Kim said Mohsen Kamangari, 27, had told his family Tuesday at 10 a.m. that he would see them at his University of B.C. graduation later that day. When the family arrived at the Vancouver post-secondary campus, however, they learned the graduation ceremony had happened the day before. “You have to apply for graduation, and he never applied,” Kim said. Kamangari could not be reached after the discovery, and police said family members indicated he could be suicidal. Kim said police don’t know where

Kamangari could have gone, as he’s recently distanced himself from friends. “It’s upsetting to the family. We’re hoping that there’s good news,” he said. Kamangari is described as a Persian man about five feet 10 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds with a slim build and dark hair. He has a scar or dark spot on his right cheek the approximate size of a loonie, and he was last seen wearing a black cotton hoodie jacket, blue jeans and black shoes. The vehicle he may be driving is a four-door, black 2008 Mercedes 300, with B.C. licence plate number 037 MDT. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-461-3456.

Last fall Chinese officials announced Li would be tried in China, not Canada. “The Zhao family went into debt to send their only daughter, Amanda Zhao, to B.C. for a better education and future,” Kwan said. “All their hopes and dreams were destroyed when they learned that Amanda had been murdered.

ESL scouting certificate a first in Canada jmcfee@thenownews.com Coquitlam International Education is teaming up with Scouts Canada to offer an ESL scouting certificate program this summer — the first of its kind in Canada. The three-week program is open to boys and girls aged 11 to 14 from all over the world. These visitors will learn English while also participating in activities like camping, hiking, canoeing, swimming and archery. They will also learn first aid and survival skills, as well as orienteering, mapping and geocaching. Terry Campbell of Scouts Canada said the organization is excited about the partnership opportunity. “We’ve been around for 103 years … and while we’re continuously changing to meet today’s needs and try to stay relevant in today’s society, we remain true to our core values. Scouting is an organization that was founded on some very fundamental principles, and those still hold true today,” Campbell said. “In today’s world, those three things — healthy active lifestyles, leadership and an environmental concern — are all very topical and very relevant to all of us, not just to the youth of today. “And scouting certainly is making an effort to ensure that the 28 million Scouts around the world in 108 different countries are all focused on those particular issues.” Ross Davidson, principal of international education, said the program hopefully will generate both interest in scouting and revenue for School District 43. “Absolutely this will help with some revenues. But the most important thing is we’re

giving our customers a really unique experience, and a real Canadian experience too. What better way to do that than with the experts in the field, which are the Scouts?” Davidson said. “From the Scouts’ point of view, they’re really more about generating membership and getting kids exposed to scouting. That’s their mission, so they’re not in it for profit. They’re offering the service at a rock-bottom price just to expose kids to it so that they may go back to their homeland and join Scouts.” For overseas visitors, the program costs $2,880, which includes English-as-a-secondlanguage instruction, scouting activities, a 21-day homestay, airport pickup, medical coverage, school supplies, a sleeping bag and a backpack. The program is also open to local international students for a reduced rate of $1,855, since they won’t need homestays or airport pickups. The summer program is scheduled to run from July 19 to Aug. 6. Customized short-term programs will also be offered throughout the year, tailored to meet the needs of specific groups. If students opt to come in the winter, activities can be adjusted to include snow caving, snow camping and snowshoeing. “We’re entrepreneurial. We pursue different ideas and different partnerships. We try to find ways that are a win-win that might allow us to offer better programs to our clients,” Davidson said. “Hopefully it’s a win for the Scouts as well. This is an avenue of marketing for them to develop more membership internationally that they hadn’t formerly done.” For more information on the scouting certificate, contact the international education program at 604-936-5769.

Opinion

City’s tax notice a shocker

Last year I was shocked by Coquitlam’s seven-percent property tax increase. This year I am numb, facing another 6.5-per-cent increase. What do these numbers mean? For me, they mean an extra $60 a month in taxes, which is money taken out of the local economy by Coquitlam. When is this city going to get its spending act together and align to what To The its citizens are facing in the real world, namely zero and zero? I dread 2011 from this crowd. John Holmes Coquitlam

and the mayor were ecstatic because this project would not cost taxpayers a penny because all costs downloaded to PoCo taxpayers would be covered by municipal land sales? Guess what? I just received my 2010 tax notice and listed under “municipal taxes” is a levy of $130.33 for the Coast Meridian Overpass. When I went down to pay my taxes at City Hall I questioned for how many Editor years this additional levy would apply, and the answer I got was “forever.” Now, at my age, forever is not a long time, but for those of you who will be paying this levy for many years to come, you should be directing questions to your mayor and council as to why this project will never be paid for.

Our View

Contribution limits key to accountability

ecommendations released this week from the B.C. Elections Task Force are a good first step in reining in what has been described as a prevailing wild west mentality in municipal elections. To date there’s been an unclear understanding of the rules, varying degrees of willingness to follow them and nowhere to go when those rules are clearly broken. As the task force noted, rules without penalties aren’t effective. The recommendations made Monday will go some way to addressing those concerns — particularly putting Elections B.C. in charge of investigating complaints. There is too much opportunity for partisan politics to be played if enforcement power rests with the provincial government. We particularly applaud the task force’s recommendation that terms be extended to four years. Democracy always comes at a price, but municipalities having to pay for elections every three years simply costs us more in the long run. Putting a cap on municipal election spending is also laudable. The key to that, however, will be in the details — like a per capita formula — which wasn’t discussed in the task force’s report. But a big disappointment is the task force’s decision to sidestep the issue of political contribution limits. The reasons not to recommend such limits are weak. And the ability of some organizations — be they business or labour — to disproportionately fund candidates is key to the issue of democracy. The majority of submissions favoured contribution limits, which points to the decision not to recommend them as purely political. A diligent public can only “follow the money” well after the fact, making that somewhat moot when it comes to their vote. A cap on donations would make a lot more sense.

For all that and more, the teachers deserve our appreciation, for it is true they shape their students’ lives. I find myself fortunate enough to have always been surrounded by inspiring teachers who are always willing to give and always making the students feel worthwhile. All in all, I have had the honour of knowing some phenomenal people who have made themselves unforgettable. As my fellow graduates and I move on to bigger, and perhaps better, things, I’m sure we will all look back fondly on our high school years.

Youth from Coquitlam help poor around the world Since January, the world has witnessed a multitude of natural disasters that have affected many lives, mostly of those living in poverty. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, have been pushed deeper into poverty as a result. Children and mothers are often the most vulnerable and in need of support in these difficult circumstances. At times such as these Canadians respond with compassion. Youth from Coquitlam have shown their support by putting the needs of those hardest-hit by these disasters above their own. Recently, young people from Coquitlam donated their time and appetites in support of World Vision’s youth To The Editor action campaign, the 30-Hour Famine. Students and community groups throughout Coquitlam helped to raise funds in support of the eradication of poverty and injustice. They also helped to provide much-needed aid in the immediate relief and long-term needs following the earthquake in Haiti. To date, youth from Coquitlam have raised $2,460. These funds will be put to work to help others around the globe. On behalf of World Vision and those we serve, I want to express my sincere appreciation and thanks to all those that supported World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine. Your efforts are making a difference in the lives of children and their futures will be brighter because of your support. Dave Toycen President and CEO World Vision Canada

‘It’s nothing to be concerned about’  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

Well, I certainly knew about it and I’m sure other members of council [did]. I’m sure that that information was available at that time,” Wright said. “It was a foundry. It was fairly obvious that there would have to be some remedial work done there. It was public knowledge. I’m sure it was well-known in the community that Beedie was going to remediate the site. That was part of the deal.” Coun. Darrell Penner expressed similar views. “We never kept it a secret. I mean, how could you keep something that big a secret?” he asked. “There’s no reason to keep it a secret. The fact is you’ve got this monstrosity containment area. It’s pretty evident it’s there.” But Penner couldn’t confirm if the storage container is here to stay. “That I can’t say specifically because it’s my understanding that Beedie has to deal with this and I’m not sure where it goes from there,” he said. “There’s some other particular legal aspects of it that I can’t really discuss right now.” However, Penner did say the remediation process shouldn’t cost taxpayers any money. “It certainly isn’t planned to,” he said. As for the substance, Penner said Beedie is dealing with it. “It’s nothing to be concerned about, but it’s a product that you don’t just take to a landfill site … I know that it wasn’t something that was a concern as far as posing a health risk to the workers and so forth,” he said. “But because of the requirements in dealing with products like this, it had to be stored in a certain way.” Meanwhile, Coun. Brad West said he believes the topic was mainly discussed before he was elected to council in November 2008. “It does ring a bell,” he said. Councillors Sherry Carroll, Mike Forrest and Glenn Pollock did not return calls before NOW deadline. Neither did Beedie.

Police help out at Camp Day fundraiser Patrons might have done a double-double-take Wednesday, while catching Coquitlam RCMP officers in the act of cleaning up after others in local donut shops. Tim Hortons held its annual Camp Day fundraiser in Canada on Wednesday, and Tri-Cities franchises had several uniformed RCMP officers on hand to clean tables, help staff behind the counter and work the drive-thru window. Every penny from coffee sales that day goes to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, which sends 14,000 kids to “Every time we have a camp who would otherwise chance to make a not be able to afford the summer experience.

Tugboat sinks in Fraser Two men escaped a potentially deadly situation as their tugboat sank in the frigid waters of the Fraser River near the Alex Fraser Bridge in Delta on Wednesday morning. The sunken tugboat is the 30-foot-long River Queen belonging to Forrest Marine Ltd. of PoCo, a company coowned by Coun. Mike Forrest. The two men were treated by paramedics and taken to hospital for observation after escaping the relatively shallow but fast moving waters of the south arm of the Fraser River shortly before 9 a.m. A nearby dozer boat, which is used to push logs around on the water, spotted the vessel in distress and came to the rescue of the two men — one of whom was already in the water. The cause of the sinking is still unknown. One of the men was released from hospital early Wednesday afternoon while the other remained there, but was not seriously injured, according to a spokeswoman for Forrest Marine. — Todd Coyne, The Vancouver Sun

You & The Law PEDESTRIANS MUST TAKE CARE BTM LAWYERS LLP

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

LAWYERS & TRADEMARK AGENTS

It was a dark and rainy evening. Dr. Karl Enright, 68, was returning to his car after a hospital meeting. He waited at the marked crosswalk for four or ﬁve minutes before he thought it was safe to cross the street. One car stopped in the middle lane to make a left-hand turn, and another slowed behind it. A car passed in the curb lane closest to him. Then seeing no other vehicles in the curb lane, he shifted his black umbrella from his right to his left hand, gathered up his coat, looked down at a puddle of water, and took a giant step off the curb. That was when he was hit by Jeffrey Marwick – and suffered multiple broken bones and a head injury. Marwick, 28, was driving in the curb lane. When he saw the vehicles stopped, he knew there might be a pedestrian crossing in the crosswalk. He slowed down and surveyed the area of the crosswalk as he approached it. Then suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, a black spot came toward the windshield. He braked and stopped. The black spot was Dr. Enright’s body moving in the air before hitting Marwick’s windshield on the right passenger side. The crosswalk was poorly lit. A garbage can on the sidewalk obscured Dr. Enright from the view of motorists.

Who was to blame Dr. Enright or Marwick?

for

this

accident?

Section 179 of BC’s Motor Vehicle Act says that pedestrians have the right of way if they’re already in a crosswalk. But if they’re not there yet, they must wait for a break in trafﬁc – they “must not leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close it is impracticable for the driver to yield the right of way.” In these circumstances, the BC Court of Appeal agreed with the trial judge that Dr. Enright

was to blame for his own misfortune. On the other hand, more recently, the BC Supreme Court found a driver liable for hitting a little girl who ran across the road. Kelsey Mitchell, almost 6, ran down a driveway and across the road in front of her house. The driver, Brian James, wasn’t speeding. The court found that James should have exercised special precautions for the safety of children known to play in the area and cross the road. He was found 75% to blame. Kelsey was found 25% responsible because she didn’t follow the safety rules that her parents had taught her. Adults must meet a higher standard than children in matters of responsibility. What these cases mean is this: If you’re already in a crosswalk, cars must give way to you. But if you’re standing on the sidewalk at a crosswalk, you don’t have the right of way with respect to an approaching vehicle that is too close to stop. Also, the Motor Vehicle Act says that if you cross a highway other than in a crosswalk, you don’t have the right of way. But despite these rules, you may not be at fault even if you didn’t have the right of way – a driver of a vehicle must always exercise due care to avoid hitting a pedestrian. If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian or other motor vehicle accident, your lawyer can advise you and help you with your claim.

The ancient Chinese technique of acupuncture has been successful in China for over 2,000 years. Jane Wong has over 34 years experience as an acupuncturist. Two of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of acupuncture. 74-year old Edna has been smoking for 61 years. “I’ve been smoking since I was 13 years old, often two packs a day. After just three acupuncture treatments I’ve quit.” P. Chew, 88 years old was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up, and sleep alright, but could not sit, if he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given pain drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop and 34 Years Experience came to me. Now, he is free from the problem and lives happily.

I repotted a large jade plant once. The roots were very fine and so shallow they didn’t penetrate the lower half of the pot. Many desert plants have shallow roots that spread over a large area to gather as much rainfall as possible. That’s also why they often grow at widely spaced intervals.

If they’re volunteering (appearing spontaneously) in cracks in concrete, yes, they can cause trouble. Plants create enormous, slow pressure that makes cracks widen. If the plants remain a long time and get very large, the cracks can expand so much they make more cracks where more plants can volunteer — worsening the problem. But if these ferns are in a garden bed but next to concrete, they’ll expand unhindered in three directions and will be fine.

National Hunger Awareness Day! Was June 1st and it seemed like a good opportunity to give you an update on what’s happening at the SHARE Food Banks that serve the Tri-cities. We’ve highlighted some numbers in the inset for you. I think we can sum up the months since Christmas just by saying that we’re giving out more hampers than ever; to a minimum of 800 households every two weeks.

Hunger in the TriCities April 1, 2009 – March 31, 2010 • On average a 26% increase at Food Bank • 45% of our recipients are children • 2,697 households turned to the Food Bank for relief sometime during the year.

Real Estate Transfers Mortgages

Some Tri-cities families decide between rent and food, between paying for medication and food. We know that doesn’t sit well with you. The hampers we distribute do not take care of nutritional needs of these families for the two weeks between hamper distributions; but they do help make other important decisions possible regarding where a family spends its limited budget. So we are asking you to participate in our Christmas in July campaign to support the SHARE Food Banks and help these families.

You can help by hosting a food drive at your family gathering, birthday party or reunion. Tie a business promotion to a gift of food to the food bank or each time you shop simply purchase an item for the food bin at your grocery store. Or, become a Tiny Bundles sponsor.

Boxy and brash, Jeep’s Patriot is always game for challenge Bob McHugh and David Chao editorial@thenownews.com

nmistakably a Jeep from any angle, the Patriot is surprisingly fuel efficient and a very affordable compact SUV. Available in both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, it shares a common chassis and many of its components with its more contemporary Jeep stablemate, the Compass. The Patriot is the boxy orthodox Jeep. Jeep launched the Patriot for the 2007 model year. While lots of smaller running changes and improvements were made in subsequent model years, its major components have remained essentially the same. The focus on refinements and cost reduction allows a base price of just $17,795. This makes Patriot the lowest-priced compact SUV on the market and if you skim though the auto advert pages, you’ll probably see some great discount deals on Patriot. Patriot was also recently recognized as a top safety pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Electronic stability control with roll mitigation is now standard and a new active head-restraint system for both front-seat occupants, which minimizes whiplash-type injuries, helped seal this award. Patriot comes in sport, north edition and limited trim levels. A base (if you can get one) Patriot sport is very basic: vinyl upholstery, steel wheels, manual windows, no

The Jeep Patriot takes after its popular predecessor, the Cherokee, but also features more creature comforts in an expanded interior and front panel styling. Photos submitted

air-conditioning and a fivespeed manual transmission. It does, however, come with a rear wiper/washer, 60/40 split-folding rear seats and a decent audio system. Moving up to Patriot north edition ($20,795) gives you cloth upholstery, air conditioning, power windows, a fold-flat front passenger seat and some other stuff. The topline Patriot limited ($23,795) primarily adds leather uphol-

stery, power adjustment on the driver’s seat, satellite radio, steering wheel audio controls and 17-inch cast aluminum wheels. The engine choices in Patriot are a two-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque or a 2.4-litre that can produce 172 hp and 165 lb-ft of torque at a lower engine speed. Fuel economy is a little better with a two-litre under the hood,

but for most people it’s probably not enough to forfeit the extra power offered by the 2.4litre engine. Drive goes to the front wheels and there are optional all-wheel-drive packages available. If serious four-wheeling is contemplated, the trailrated Freedom 2 off-road package (a $2,500 option) is one to choose. It includes protective skid plates, more ground clearance, hill-descent

control, hill-start assist and 48-cm water-fording capability, a low-range mode and a higher crawl ratio final drive. The downside is increased fuel consumption. Our test Patriot came with some unique convenience features such as remote start (it comes in a security package) that allows you to start the Patriot from the comfort of your home on a cold winter morning. Another was the

115-volt power outlet in the centre console, which allows you to power or recharge a laptop.

more vertical windshield and back window than the Compass. Its bumpers and wheel openings are also more strongly defined and unmistakably Jeep. The iconic seven-slot grille is flanked by round headlights up front. Big side mirrors and easy-grip big door handles may not be sleek and aerodynamic, but they get top marks for functionality. And on a Jeep they look perfectly OK.

The Inside

You sit five centimetres (two inches) higher in a Patriot than in a Compass. While that may not seem like a lot, it makes a significant difference to both the driving position and the overall feel of the vehicle. Since its intro, Jeep has reworked the Patriot’s instrument cluster, added padding to the centre console and door armrests. The new dash has nicer grain to the hard plastic sections, and there’s more liberal use of chrome trimming and soft-touch materials. The rear doors are on the narrow side, but the rear seat is surprisingly spacious. Generous head room is provided and there’s room for your feet under the seat ahead.

Safety

As already mentioned electronic stability control is standard and this system comes with traction control, anti-lock brakes, brake assist and roll mitigation system. The latter intervenes and uses the brakes

to steady the vehicle if it senses a potential rollover risk. Front seat side airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system are optional on the base sport edition of the Patriot.

The Drive

A nicely sized dual-purpose SUV, Patriot is small enough to park and manoeuvre on a congested city street, yet still has enough room to pack camping gear inside. It can be a fuel-efficient daily commuter and double as a getaway wilderness wagon. In general, driver vision is very good, as the Patriot has a big back window and extra-large side mirrors. One exception is when you’re first in line at a traffic light, as the signal tends to get hidden by the Patriot’s extended roof line. The 2.4-litre is a new generation World engine that Jeep shares with Mitsubishi and Hyundai. Even though it has dual-variable valve timing, it’s not a sweet sounding engine when pushed to higher r.p.m., but it does pull impressively well at low r.p.m. My test Patriot also came with four-wheel drive and a CVT automatic. On paved roads, the Patriot’s independent suspension is stable and comfortable. Despite its heavy appearance, steering effort is light and it has a surprisingly nimble feel.

The Score

In addition to classic Jeep styling, the Patriot offers a nice blend of fuel-efficiency and utility in a compact value-packed package.

TD Waterhouse presents

Bird walks planned at Colony Park To celebrate Environment Week, the Colony Farm Park Association and the Burke Mountain Naturalists will host two public bird walks this weekend. The strolls will be held Saturday, June 5 at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Colony Farm Park, starting from the parking lot at the end of Colony Farm Road off Lougheed Highway. Participants can expect to see migratory birds that have arrived at Colony Farm in the past few weeks, including warblers, fly-catchers and swallows. Colony Farm is also one of the best places in the Lower Mainland to view the brightly coloured lazuli bunting. The two-hour walks are suitable for families and are led by experienced birders. Walkers are asked to wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather and bring binoculars, if possible. Those without binoculars will have a chance to view birds through a spotting scope. The event is free and registration is not required.

caressing finish. I believe wines at these types of prices will be available for the next few years as producers clean house and start to rethink the marketplace and the prices they can charge. This is great news for wine drinkers as they explore wines that may not have been in their price range in the past. • John Gerum is a wine instructor, writer and consultant with West Coast Wine Education.

Score Card

Saints steal point against rival Adanacs Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com If but for a penalty, the Port Coquitlam Saints would have local bragging rights locked up for the next week. As it is, despite surrendering a couple of late powerplay goals, the struggling Saints battled the Coquitlam Adanacs to a 7-7 stalemate in B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League action on Wednesday. Although the result is considered an upset, Coquitlam general manager Ken Wood admits that games between the two rivals are always an intense affair. “Neither team shot very well but when they did, the goalies robbed them,” Wood noted. “(PoCo goalie Carson) Michaud just played fantastic, especially in the first period.” That’s when the first-year junior kicked out all 18 shots, while the Saints jumped out on markers by Richard Lachlan and Matt Laustrup. They were ahead 2-1 after 40 minutes, where Michaud added 19 saves to his total. The goals started to come in the third, as the two clubs jockeyed back and forth, with the Adanacs pulling ahead 5-4 with six minutes left. The Saints responded and vaulted into a 7-5 lead on powerplay goals by Trevor Evans, Scott Jones and Laustrup in the span of 1:22. But momentum turned when Joe Laleune was whistled for the third checking from behind penalty of the period, setting the stage for Taylor Morrison and Brandon Bertoia to tie the game. “It was a good result for us, other than a strange penalty call,”  CONT.

TAKING CENTRE STAGE: Canada’s Ashley Brzozowicz (third from left) and Krista Guloien (fourth) celebrate their victory on the podium with second place Team China (at left) and third place U.S. (at right) at the World Cup I women’s pair event in Bled, Slovenia on Monday.

Preparation priceless for Port Moody rower Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com London, Ont. shares little in common with the same-named jolly British capital, other than the name of the river that run through them. But Port Moody’s Krista Guloien knows that one London leads to the other — if you are a Canadian rower, that is. With an eye on competing at the 2012 London Olympics, Guloien kick started the competitive rowing season with partner Ashley Brzozowicz earlier this week by capturing the women’s pair gold at World Cup I in Bled, Slovenia. “We were both a bit edgy, we were the first (final) of the day and when we

got in the water there was no one else around. We were the only boat in the warm-up zone, so I was starting to get nervous,” Guloien said from London, Ont., where the Canadian team trains. “I was nervous but prepared, but being the first race of the season we didn’t know what to expect.” Preparation at the international level remains key, she said. To peak at the right time, when there is just one opportunity to succeed or fail, requires a straight forward process. That’s exactly what the 30-year-old Guloien and Brzozowicz did, beginning with their arrival in the picturesque Slovenian city. In the shadow of Bled castle, the Canucks began their three-day competition by out-pacing the defending world champion U.S. in the first heat,

leading from start to finish. Their finish time of 7:12.91 would end up being the quickest race of the competition, and set the tone for the following days. “I think I was more nervous for that (heat), we were alongside the defending world champions and at that stage it’s do-or-die, top-three or you’re off. We just brought our A game.” After a convincing win in the semifinal the next day, the duo set their sights on making a good tournament better. “We have Al Morrow back as coach, and he’s so experienced, he coached Marni McBean and Kathleen Heddle… He has quite the system and it’s really about preparation, of making everything as routine as possible.” An encouraging email from threetime Olympic medalist McBean pro-

vided the right inspiration. McBean noted someone was going to win that race, someone was going to rise to the challenge. “Why not us?” Guloien echoed. The night before the final, Guloien and Brzozowicz laid low and focused on the task at hand. Not even a late call that pushed the start of their morning race up by two hours — requiring a 5:30 a.m. wake-up call — could shake their concentration. “We just stayed on the meticulous routine (Morrow) planned out, an 8:15 (a.m.) start time is not that much different from what we have to do when we’re training.” Waiting for the start was time for all

Watson takes silver

The NOW COQUITLAM, PORT COQUITLAM, PORT MOODY, ANMORE AND BELCARRA

Port Coquitlam’s Robert Watson reached for the top and came extremely close to it at the Canadian national gymnastics championships last week in Kamloops. The 16-year-old bested his own expectations, earning a silver medal in the still rings event against senior division competitors. He also secured silver all around in the junior competition, powered by a first-place result in parallel bars and silver in floor and rings. Watson has spent the past year working on his level of difficulty in preparation for next year’s step to the senior division. “I was happiest with my parallel bars today because in the qualifications I had a bit of a wobble in my routine but I went in there and cleaned it up,” said Watson, who trains in Richmond. In other results, Club Aviva’s Karensa Mitchell placed sixth in national open 16+ division, with bronze on vault and floor. In national open 13-15 competition, TAG’s Dayna Weststeyn finished eight overall, posting the fourth-best result on floor, while Aviva’s Taylor Oakley came in ninth all around, with fifth on uneven bars her top result. Omega Gymnastics’ Shallon Olsen came in second all around in high performance novice, topping floor and placing second on vault. In national novice, Aviva’s Clair Kaji stood fourth overall, with a bronze on vault.

Racing routine good for Guloien the nerves to disappear, she said. For the Canadians, it was no problem as they glided their boat across the finish line in 7:20.60, more than two seconds ahead of second-place China. It was a stellar start to a day of medals for Canada, which finished with three out of a possible four to buoy the spirits of all the team’s rowers. Entering the competition, the focus was on delivering solid results on which to build. “We were sent to represent Canada as a group and go see how fast we could go,” she noted. “We’ve been training hard but without racing anyone outside our own group, so it’s really hard to gauge your performance.” In 10 years of rowing, Guloien has risen to each challenge. The former Simon Fraser rower has carved her spot across the glass-like lake. This year, she’s gone from sweeper to scull, and established a good partnership with her Toronto-raised teammate. On the road to qualifying and competing in Beijing, she

briefly thought that was the end of her rowing story. After experiencing that enormous achievement, Guloien decided there could be more. “I kind of thought after the (Beijing) Olympics that I’d take some time off, to recuperate and think, but when I took time off I felt unsettled, I craved the routine. “It was a matter of getting back in the boat and I felt like I needed this.” The road to the London Games is going to require more fast times in the coming year. The women’s eight are off to the World Cup II in Lucerne in July, while Team Canada’s gold medal time trials are in August in Ontario. Then it’s hopefully off to the World championships in New Zealand in October. Guloien expects to be there. “I had imagined every scenario possible the night before (the final),” she says. “And the race went just like the best possible one. We got out ahead and we were in the driver’s seat. “Winning is pretty addicting. After that I thought we need to do that again.”

B.C. tallies gold at netball nationals

For one team, it was a return to glory. For the other, it was another jewel in a string of wins. B.C. carted off gold in both the women’s open and under-23 division at the Canadian national championships two weeks ago in Burnaby, getting major contributions from local Coquitlam talents. The provincial open squad edged Ontario 39-35 in the final, sparked by some stellar work by Gleneagle secondary alumna Amonda Francis. Francis was also chosen to join the national open team for next month’s America’s championship world championship qualifier.

In the u-23 final, B.C. collected its fourth straight national victory, beating Alberta 41-32. Powering the win were Liz Uhl and sisters Kelsey and Sarah Binns, the latter two fresh off college exams in Montreal and Edmonton, respectively. “It was definitely tougher than in previous years,” said Kelsey, 20. “The competition seems to be getting better each year, and this year we were struck by injuries to two of our starters on the way through.” Her versatility proved to be an asset, as the third-year McGill University student shifted from defence to shooter to form a Binns

duo shooting attack. “(Sarah) is such an amazing shooter and it was great being able to play with her again. It was just like old times… Liz was just feeding us, she was doing all the running and giving us the easy shots.” B.C. advanced to the final with a 54-34 victory over Quebec. The trio have enjoyed B.C.’s fouryear long run on the u-23 circuit, and Kelsey notes that it’s become a habit. “For us, anything less than gold is unacceptable, and when you play together as long and as well as we have, it’s a lot of fun. Winning makes it fun, too.”

Junior Adanacs suffer first setback of boxla season  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31

said Saints coach Nick Delmonico. “I think we shut them down pretty well in the first two periods, it wasn’t just a case of us playing well and them playing poorly.” Evans and Laustrup finished with two goals apiece, while Travis Penner also tallied. The Adanacs, who fired 58 shots at Michaud, got a hat trick from Bertoia and two from Morrison. Coquitlam was coming off their first loss of the season a night earlier, when New Westminster prevailed 9-8 in a showdown of the last two undefeated teams in the league. Trailing 4-1 after a shaky first period, the Adanacs rattled off five straight goals to grab a short-lived 6-4 lead. Bertoia scored three times, with singles by Travis Cornwall, Matthew Dinsdale, Tor Reinholdt, Tom Seeman

Gladiators grind out gold in Whalley

The Port Coquitlam Gladiators were true terrors on the diamond, carting off the squirt C division title at a Whalley Fastpitch tournament last week. It took a dramatic two-out play to propel them past Maple Ridge 7-6 in the final, with the winning run scoring on a passed ball. Picking up game MVP honours were catcher Taylor Assels, pitchers Anita Kerster and Natasha Waack, and first baseman Stephanie Babich. Collecting third place were the PoCo Heat, while the PoCo Eagles finished fourth in the mite division.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: Lie low, contemplate, conserve energy for the next two weeks. Fulfil obligations, handle governmental and administrative tasks, and complete neglected tasks in any area. Spend time with yourself, re-connect spiritually, be charitable. Contemplate and plan. Be ambitious early week – an unexpected event or influence could bring sudden good career or business luck for the next three months! Perhaps related, the last seven months of “wild ride” in money now dissolves, leaving you financially steadier. For the next two months, success will depend on your ability to communicate and travel.

Taurus April 20-May 20: A major inspiration or eye-opener might occur the ﬁrst few days – a secret wish could come true, or a ﬁnancial step bring you unexpected security! Lie low Sunday/Monday – your energy needs re-charging. Now to late July, you’ll bring a new determination and intensity to romantic, creative and sports zones. The friction that might have marked your domestic sphere since last October now fades. Peace returns! Your energy and charisma rise Tuesday to Thursday – you attract others, and your luck surges. Start things, get things done. Chase money – diplomatically! – Thursday eve to Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Your popularity, optimism and happiness continue to brighten, especially Thursday to Saturday! A wish (or many little wishes) can come true over the next two weeks. Entertainment, light romance, flirtations and social invitations pop up here and there. A lucky, unexpected event could occur in your legal, travel, educational, cultural or publishing sphere. This happens almost in the same moment (day, week) as you give up your anger about something in these same areas. For the next two months, more money will flow to you – make sure it doesn’t flow through you. A Gemini is complex!

Gemini May 21-June 20: An unexpected meeting, idea, or communication during the ﬁrst half of this week could raise your hopes sky-high – and signal a new friendship, a light love affair, or a wish coming true! One warning: take care that secrets do not interfere with your reputation, standing or ambitions, especially mid-week. Rest, lie low Tuesday to Thursday noon. Contemplate, plan. Your energy and magnetism soar Thursday eve to Saturday – but avoid unintended sharp words. Now to late July, guard against domestic friction – a wish could come true in real estate. Renovations, construction will succeed.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Be ambitious this week and next. For the last seven months, ﬁnancial, lifestyle and sexual matters have held you back, perhaps disconcerted, even frightened you. This ends – for the two months ahead you take these matters in hand, control, enliven, push and solve them. Your sexual magnetism soars for seven weeks. A change, an event or new atmosphere enters early week; it “kicks off” a summer of luck in all these areas: sex, intimacy, ﬁnances, investments, lifestyle changes, research and your connections to other people’s money. Many developments this week: avoid deception, anger!

Aries March 21 - April 19: A long focus on enjoyment, romance, self-indulgence and children’s affairs ends now. The two months ahead turn your attention to work. At the same time (especially if you were born before March 24), luck returns. A legal, far travel, educational, intellectual or cultural inﬂuence enters also. You might work hard on a travel, educational, legal (etc.) project, and have some luck in these. Or you might just ﬂy with your luck and travel urge, far away from work! Your life is changing, and it might do so with unexpected or exhilarating suddenness early this week! You’ll be busy!

June 6 - 12

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Pursue legal, educational, travel, cultural and love objectives this week and next. They enliven and challenge, succeed and frustrate this week. A Gemini (or Virgo) might be involved. Keep an even keel. If your urge to wed and your urge to partner are not represented by the same person, stop. Early week brings an unexpected change, a lucky, unpredictable, fresh exhilaration in love, partnership, contractual and relocation zones, now to early September. This might be “it,” Libra, or it might merely be a precursor of a similar, huge trend in 2011. Prepare for excitement!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Tackle chores this week and next. You might feel a little frustrated or “neglected by the universe” because opportunities are just not coming your way. This is a good thing, for the opportunities that face you this month and next are traps in disguise. Be patient! Avoid all legal hassles June/July. Exceptions: you might sign legal papers to buy or sell real estate, to protect a child, for a retirement plan, etc. – ﬁne. This whole area (security, kids, real estate, etc.) “wakes up” as new, enlivening, unpredictable, mostly lucky events enter now to September. Midweek’s mellow.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Many secrets will be revealed this week and next (mostly this week) – be a detective. Be silent, watch and listen. Your sexual, intimate urges rise to the surface: lust won’t be a stranger! (But he/she might be.) The anger, impatience and temperamental relations with higherups that have marked your career scene since last October now disappear.A new, unpredictable, friendly, monetarily lucky inﬂuence enters your work sphere, now to September. At the same time, a job could end. You’ll socialize with co-workers, June/July. Work hard Sunday/Monday. Beware deception mid-week.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Love, romance, creative urges, pleasure, beauty, charming kids, speculation, sports fill the two weeks ahead. You could fall in love, especially late this week! But avoid self-deception (and deceiving others) – and realize the one who makes your heart flip and the one you lust after might not be the same person. If so, stop, think before proceeding. The next two months could be very sexual; an affair is possible. Possible, too, that you’ll just talk about it. Secrets are shared – and will “out.” A new, lucky and sociable influence fills June to September. Anger from others ends!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Partnerships, relationships, opportunities, challenges from others, relocation themes, negotiations, contracts, marriage and/or divorce – these concerns ﬁll the two weeks ahead. The road will be uneven – rocky, frustrating, exhilarating, successful, joyful, maddening, etc. For success, avoid two “traps” 1) deception or being too mistrusting, especially around Tuesday/ Wednesday; 2) anger or sharp words, especially around Thursday/Friday. Everything is possible, even true love! Now to September, romance, creativity “wake up” luckily! All June/July, be diplomatic with temperamental bosses.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Focus on endings and new beginnings, on nurturing, home, kids, real estate, retirement, security, Mother Nature, for two weeks. You might end an association, especially Thursday to Saturday. If you don’t do it in anger, it’s justified. An unpredictable, fresh, lucky, odd influence enters your money and earnings sphere now to early September – this could bring an unexpected and freeing event, or that event might come in 2011, first half. Be flexible, opportunistic. A long period of hard work eases up now. All June/July, relationships will intensify – expect heat, anger and attraction! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
