The city’s rec centre was updated in 2008.

Port Moody suing over rec centre

Port Moody city manager Gaetan Royer confirmed Thursday that the city has filed a lawsuit against several key players involved in the design of the city’s recreation centre.

Royer was responding to an article that appeared in a recent edition of Business in Vancouver, which suggested the city was suing Hughes Condon Marler Architects (HCMA), Pomeroy Consulting Engineers Ltd., Genivar GP Inc. and Equilibrium Consulting Inc. over what Royer characterized as “deficiencies in design.”

The article, however, suggested that the facility’s green roof technology began to leak, a point Royer denied.

“There is no leakage into the building, but the dispute is over deficiencies in design. It is about the contract of services between the city and the architect and some of the engineering disciplines that were subcontractors to the architect,” Royer told The NOW Thursday. “Our dispute is with the firm itself, the architects, and it has to do with contract deficiencies, design deficiencies.”

Despite the legal proceedings, Royer said it’s more or less business as usual at the updated rec centre, which was completed in 2008 at a cost of $27 million.

“There are no hazardous conditions or deficiencies that would have any impact on patrons or staff at the recreation centre,” he said.

Calls to HCMA were not returned before NOW deadline.

But while he recently filmed parts of the TV series Boston Legal off of northern Vancouver Island, Shatner conceded that he had not seen Donnelly’s bill, nor did he know the MP personally. His call to arms, Shatner said, was initiated by mutual friends with an interest in the environment.

“My concern is that of every person who lives in Canada and especially British Columbia,” Shatner said.

The joint press conference also includ-

ed noted biologist Alexandra Morton and Chief Robert Chamberlin of the Ah-KwaMish First Nation.

Morton led a recent B.C. Supreme Court challenge that ruled that the federal government must take over jurisdiction of regulating fish farms from the province, a move that effectively freezes any industry expansion until at least December.

“We know that open-net salmon farms break many natural laws that cause pathogens to explode among our wild salmon populations,” she said. “The Fraser sockeye, for example, their decline is

closely correlated with disease outbreaks in salmon farms.”

Chief Chamberlain, whose First Nation is located near the Broughton Archipelago, stepped up the rhetoric in Thursday’s conference call, demanding that the fisheries and oceans minister resign if Donnelly’s bill isn’t passed.

“If Minster Shea is unable to make such tough political decisions and begin to err on the side of caution for wild salmon, then she must resign,” he said.

“She must move aside for someone who is willing to have a long-term vision in terms of safeguarding wild salmon.”

“However data for the period 1977 to 1980 indicate that there has been no significant improvement in these values of groundwater.”

Analyses of water in a ditch near the area indicated the pH had been lowered from 7.8 to 4.1, with raised concentrations of sulphate and dissolved metals.

“It is apparent that both the ground and surface waters are contaminated with heavy metals,” the report reads.

A B.C. Ministry of Environment report from 1989 states that Kennametal had permits allowing 45 cubic metres of discharge per day, with set levels for pH and limits for dissolved iron, nickel, cobalt, manganese and fluoride.

The company could also discharge a maximum of 114 cubic metres of cooling water per day to an exfiltration basin located about four kilometres from the Pitt River.

“Data … indicates the permit levels are seldom achieved. Data for 1986 do not indicate any improvement in effluent quality,” reads the report, which assessed water quality of tributaries to the Lower Fraser River along the north shore.

As well, Kennametal had a provincial permit allowing the disposal of 1.1 cubic metres per day to a refuse site, the report notes.

“Metal concentrates are smelted and cooled in graphite crucibles which are broken to free the metal. These broken crucibles comprise 90 per cent of the refuse,” the report reads.

“Broken refractory brick and linings from the furnaces account for the remainder of the refuse. In addition sludge from the effluent holding tanks and exfiltration ponds are also disposed of at the refuse site.”

The report states this operation would only have a minimal impact on groundwater if lime  CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, see ‘EVERYTHING.’

Police say teen hit by car was ‘harassing’ driver Jennifer McFee A 19-year-old Coquitlam man is recovering from nonlife-threatening injuries after he was run over by a car Tuesday night.

The situation began just after 10 p.m. at a Subway restaurant at Lougheed Highway and Westwood Street in Port Coquitlam, police said.

“Basically, what happened is the driver of the vehicle goes to Subway, buys his food, and while he’s in there, this 19-year-old male starts calling him names and generally harassing him,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet, spokesperson for the Coquitlam RCMP. “The young male purchases his food, leaves, and this 19year-old male follows him outside with six of his friends … This one 19-year-old man keeps on calling the driver names and trying to entice him into a physical altercation.”

Paquet said the 20-year-old driver, also from Coquitlam, feared for his safety when the group of seven young men followed him outside and continued to harass him.

When the 20-year-old man got into his Toyota Corolla and tried to leave, the 19-yearold allegedly moved in front of the car’s path. He was then hit and run over by the vehicle.

“He actually went under the vehicle during the accident,” Paquet said.

Police were called to the scene, and the teen was taken to hospital for extensive abrasions and soft tissue injuries.

The driver, who had left the scene, returned a few minutes later and identified himself

Alcohol was not a factor as far as the driver is concerned, Paquet said, but the 19-yearold was intoxicated. There is no indication the driver and the victim knew each other.

“There’s more than meets

the eye, as is often the case,” Paquet said. “Definitely, in taking all the possible outcomes of an incident like this into consideration, everybody can feel pretty lucky as to what happened that night and that nobody suffered serious injuries or death.

You’ve just been offered an early retirement package or perhaps you have lost your job due to corporate restructuring.

While you’ve always thought it would be great to retire early, you’ve never been certain you could actually afford it.

Even now, with the company offering you a sweetened package, you are still not sure what you should do.

Even if it wasn’t a complete surprise, it’s a difficult time.

While you are trying to adjust to all of the personal ramifications, you are also being asked to make some important financial decisions that will affect your future security.

A severance or early retirement package usually includes several elements - everything from sick pay credits and company savings programs to retiring allowances and complicated choices of what to do with your pension plan.

Each element will have income taxaswellascurrentandfuture cash flow implications. Your net worth and the value of your estate may also be affected.

Once you’ve determined how much money you will be receiving from all sources and whether the various segments will have to remain tax sheltered or not, your next decision will be how to invest the funds you receive.

If you have been laid off and have some concerns about paying the bills or unsure of what your future plans may be, you’ll want to maintain investment flexibility.

If your path is more certain, this is an ideal time to completely review your investment strategy.

For investment advice that you can count on, call today to see if your current savings strategy will allow you to retire in comfort…

Media bias, or reflection?

Re: “MP’s travel costs a taxpayer nightmare,” editorial, Wednesday, June 2.

MP Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White RockCloverdale) should not be “surprised” by his constituents’ anger regarding his high MP-position spending. I read The NOW’s editorial critical of Hiebert (FYI: I did not, nor ever would I, vote Conservative), and it was quite inflammatory.

The power of the mass news media To The should never be underestimated. And note that, contrary to many media consumers’ assertions, that media, in general, is neither “left-wing” nor “right-wing.”

While the vocal left- and right-wing elements within society each accuse the establishment news media of being ideologically biased in favour of the other, the news media can recline in their proverbial chairs, convinced that such contrary criticism only proves that the news media must be behaving objectively.

But if one observes that media closely, he/she will likely catch the general libertarian bias in contemporary reporting — i.e., one of domestic social lib-

eralism (e.g., abortion and homosexuality) and fiscal conservatism (e.g., government spending).

Rather than attempting to become more professionally objective, many news-media professionals, who hate to be critiqued, usually dismiss criticism against them by accusing the critic of simply “media bashing” and “shooting the messenger.”

The media professionals will claim that their coverage — or lack thereof Editor — is but a “reflection” of the sentiment held by society in which their publications circulate.

However, reflections are emitted only by inanimate, non-sentient objects with zero opinion capability; whereas media professionals are not only sentient entities, they are very prone to ideas and ideology.

Thus, it’s quite plausible that, generally speaking, societal sentiment is a reflection of the overall ideology of the mainstream media that circulate within that society.

Our View

Whatever the intent, this fee is wrong

D

id the BC Liberals deceive the public about the cost of Port Mann Bridge tolls?

The NDP say they did, but the situation doesn’t seem that clear-cut.

Wednesday, media outlets began reporting that thousands of drivers who use the soon-to-be-twinned Port Mann will pay $5.15 per crossing — rather than the $3 or so the Liberals said they would pay.

That’s because drivers who don’t have a transponder in their vehicle will have to pay a “video-processing” fee of $2.30 per crossing, unless they pay their toll within 48 hours of crossing the bridge.

The 48-hour limit seems extreme, since most bill collectors allow about a month for payment. Even parking tickets issued by municipalities don’t have to be paid within 48 hours.

If a resident of the Tri-Cities was, for example, crossing the bridge en route to a long weekend out of town, he or she would have to find a wireless Internet connection or some other way of making a payment. Doing so — especially if the long weekend activities involved, for example, camping — could amount to a major hassle.

And those of us who plan to use the bridge only occasionally, which probably includes most residents on this side of the river, should hardly be expected to equip our vehicles with transponders.

The fact that fewer motorists than expected are now crossing the new Golden Ears Bridge — presumably because they don’t want to pay the toll — makes this $2.30 charge even stranger. It could lead to motorists on this side of the Fraser crossing the new Port Mann once to check it out, getting steamed about paying $5 to do so, and vowing to go out of their way to avoid paying the toll again — a situation that wouldn’t be good for the province’s coffers.

We hope the Liberals weren’t trying to catch people off guard with what appears to be a hidden charge, and that the extra fee is something they were planning to publicize down the road. But with public anger over the HST exploding — and Liberal support rapidly imploding in the polls — the last thing the party needs is another fee scandal. The easiest solution? Get rid of this added cost.

A graduating class is made up of different people with different talents and tastes. We are all unique.

The diversity within each graduating class may make us all different. Yet this doesn’t mean that we aren’t connected; it doesn’t mean that we aren’t a group.

Because despite our differences, we are all tied by our common experiences and the fact that we are a part of the same graduating class of each of our high schools. This is a strong tie that nobody should, and nobody can, take away from us.

Although I wish that I could have gotten to know everyone in my grad class, I realize that it’s OK that I didn’t. Despite the fact that I may not even know some people in my year, I still share a bond with them — we are graduating together.

Best of luck in the future, Grad 2010!

of his vehicle behind me at the next red light. I was lucky at that time to have been able to safely make an unscheduled right turn, and promised myself that I would henceforth maintain my amusement at a safer distance.

This time, doing my best to keep a straight face, I hung back and slid in well behind him, in the uncharacteristically long space that had been left there by the succeeding driver, who, I’m inclined to suggest in retrospect, perhaps had already witnessed some of Mr. Meefurst’s friendlier aspects.

As we journeyed together, Mr. Meefurst and I, he yanked his vehicle back and forth between lanes, attempting to gain the advantage of a vehicle’s distance now and again. Sometimes, I could see him, apparently calmed down a bit, a few vehicles ahead, but as luck would have it, normal traffic would draw us closer together and, whenever he realized I was hot on his tail as it were, he started dodging from lane to lane again, perhaps proving that he had deserved his place in line ahead of me.

When I turned into my exit in Langley, he was fully three cars — perhaps six seconds — ahead of me. He’d gained that much.

Letters to the Editor

Electricity built B.C. City folks like myself often tend to forget how vast this great province we live in really is. I’ve visited many remote communities and seen first-hand the challenges they face and the potential they have.

Along the way, I’ve also learned a thing or two about alternative energy sources. I’ve seen how clean solar power can displace dirty diesel, and I’m convinced that tidal energy along B.C.’s long, rugged coast holds great promise.

However, run-of-river is the clean energy technology that intrigues me the most. It is highly adaptable and well-suited to many settings around this watery province. And it has already brought clean, sustainably produced electricity and new opportunities to a number of remote communities.

I’ve heard it said that electricity built B.C., and from what I’ve seen that holds true. Electricity brings new opportunities. Opportunities bring prosperity. And prosperity is something that everyone in this province deserves to share in, no matter how remote and isolated their community may be.

‘Everything … has all been cleaned up’  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4.

were added to maintain a pH of at least 10.5 for the refuse and wastewater.

“However, this remedy has yet to be implemented,” the report states.

According to Chandler, Kennametal received Ministry of Environment approval for the condition of the site in 1998.

Despite numerous requests, the ministry neither confirmed this information nor responded to other questions by NOW deadline.

The Beedie Group, which sold a portion of the former Kennametal site to the City of Port Coquitlam, has been completing site remediation work over the past couple of years.

Director of development Dave Gormley said Beedie expects to see a certificate of compliance from the ministry this fall.

“Everything on the lands over there has all been cleaned up,” he said.

However, Gormley couldn’t answer further questions about the process.

“We’re not trying to be elusive, but when you deal with things like this … the City [of Port Coquitlam] is the lead on all this. We don’t like to comment. It’s not anything negative,” he said. “It’s just if there are specifics you’re looking for, the city has all the informa-

tion, or they have access to it.”

PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said remediation work is “a pretty common thing” that is not unique to the Coast Meridian Overpass site.

“I think when we’re dealing with remediation, we always need to be concerned with what’s going on, but I don’t think that there’s anything to worry about on this project,” Moore said, adding that he doesn’t believe there could be any effect on groundwater or other water sources. Yet in June 2008, the city applied to Fisheries and Oceans Canada for an environmental assessment under Section 35(2) of the Fisheries Act for “authorization for harmful alteration of fish habitat.” Then in February 2010, the city terminated this assessment process.

DFO assessor Bruce Clark said the federal department didn’t review the contaminated soil on the Coast Meridian site.

“That’s not to say that we wouldn’t have, but to the point where we cancelled the assessment because [the city] had cancelled their application, we didn’t look into anything like that,” Clark said, adding that Environment Canada is usually the lead federal authority responsible for contaminated soils.

“They told us it was their determination that they were going to destroy some fish habitat,

and that’s what they wanted authorization for.”

Meanwhile, Moore said he believes the federal assessment was cancelled because it was complete. He said DFO wanted the city to deal with water retention off the bridge to prevent it from going into storm sewer systems. As a result, the city built a water retention pond on the north side of the overpass.

Despite those reassurances, Port Moody

environmentalist Elaine Golds said potential contamination from the site remains a concern and more should be done.

“It sounds like a fairly serious issue that’s lacked any kind of attention for many, many years … There are big concerns and we shouldn’t be turning a blind eye to it now,” Golds said. “It’s time to do something about it, I would say. It was time long ago.”

Teddy Bear Picnic and Parade Sunday Barbecue to benefit Festival Coquitlam’s Teddy Bear Picnic will take place on Sunday, June 13 at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam.

This popular event is now in its 21st year.

Activities include a teddy bear playground, miniature physical training course, gymnastics and tumbling, kids zone, bicycle safety course, fire safety house and face painting.

KVOS Television will be on site with its Kidstuff Cruiser and will provide television coverage.

Hands-on circus workshops are back by popular demand, organizers say. Children will have an opportunity to test their skills with tightrope walking, juggling, plate spinning and stilt walking.

Kids are encouraged to bring their teddies in for “flu shots.”

Constant entertainment will be provided by a mix of roving entertainers and mainstage performers. Ronald McDonald is also set to make an appearance.

The Grand Parade will precede the opening of the Teddy Bear Picnic starting at 10 a.m.

The parade route starts at Coquitlam Centre mall and moves to Town Centre Park.

The Kinsmen will be holding a pancake breakfast at the northeast corner of Coquitlam

Centre.

To avoid long gate lineups for the Teddy Bear Picnic, organizers are encouraging attendees to buy prepaid admission wrist bands at the City Centre Aquatic Complex, Chimo Pool or Pinetree Community Centre.

Admission is $3, and children under three get in for free.

The park is located between Pipeline Road and Pinetree Way in Coquitlam, and festivities are set to run from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Vickie Ayers, a Tri-Cities resident who raises funds for Variety, The Children’s Charity, will be hosting a barbecue on Saturday, June 12 in Coquitlam.

Hot dogs, chips, pop and ice cream are on the menu, and face-painting will be available for the children.

Ayers will also be collecting donations for both a bottle and penny drive, with all proceeds going towards Variety.

The barbecue will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Save-OnFoods at Pinetree Village, 2991 Lougheed Hwy. Another barbecue is in the works for Saturday, July 17, at the same time and place.

Ridgeway Community Police Station celebrates its 15th anniversary Saturday Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Ridgeway Community Police Station is celebrating its 15th anniversary this month and police are opening the doors for birthday festivities while also seeking new volunteers.

In 1995, Coquitlam RCMP requested the new station due to increased crime rates in the area at the time, including the murder of Graham Niven outside a nearby Mac’s con-

venience store.

Volunteers staffed the new station, which is designed to bring police and community members in closer contact.

Many of the same volunteers continue to work at the station today, police say, where they answer crime and safety questions for the public.

They also perform foot and bike patrols as part of the Stolen Auto Recovery and Lock Out Auto Crime programs.

As well, volunteers provide child identification services

through the Child ID program, which offers free fingerprinting for kids.

In addition, these volunteers learn about RCMP reports and accept criminal record search applications to be processed by the Coquitlam RCMP. The Ridgeway and Burquitlam community police stations are seeking hardworking, motivated volunteers who are willing to commit to a minimum of one four-hour shift per week.

Volunteers should be

Youth aim to raise $2,000 for group that helps teens jmcfee@thenownews.com When they needed help, PoCoMo Youth Services was there for them. Now a group of Tri-Cities youth is returning the favour by trying to ease the financial struggles of the grassroots organization.

Ten local youth have chosen PoCoMo Youth Services as the focus of a community-based project through A Chance to Choose, a federally funded program for young people who face barriers to employment. These participants, aged 15 to 30, prepare for the working world as they organize and implement a project in the community.

This time around, the group decided to help PoCoMo, a charity that provides outreach and support services to Tri-Cities youth.

A Chance to Choose program manager Bob Lewis said the youth made their decision after reading an article in The NOW that outlined how PoCoMo had to reduce its staff and service levels due to funding problems.

“That [story] resonated with probably 80 per cent of the people that were in the group …

Young kids these days have so many things to try to overcome and deal with. It’s very difficult for kids not to get influenced, if not involved, in a lot of the stuff that’s going on,” Lewis said.

“There were a couple of young people in the group who actually had occasion when they were younger to be supported to some extent

The youth will launch their campaign on Saturday, June 19 with a car wash at the Port Moody Legion on Clarke Street from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

On Thursday, June 24, they will host a fundraising dinner at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Tickets cost $20 each and are available through the Chance to Choose office at 80 Kyle St. in Port Moody. Donations for an ongoing bottle drive can also be dropped off at the same location.

Because of their memory of the fact that at least they had a helping hand, they wanted to be able to give back.”

The group hopes to raise $2,000 for the cause through a car wash, bottle drive and fundraising dinner, Lewis said.

“I think they will reach their goal. They’re a good group, and we do have some pretty good community support, so I’m optimistic.”

Jerome Bouvier, PoCoMo’s executive director, said the funds will be used for direct services. In particular, the money will help keep the non-profit’s mobile outreach bus on the road.

Get ready for strawberries The brief but bountiful B.C. strawberry season is almost here, according to the Fraser Valley Strawberry Growers Association, and now is the time for consumers to anticipate one of the province’s most fresh, flavourful and healthy local harvests.

B.C. consumers are bombarded by imported fruit, but nothing can compare to the flavour and freshness of home-grown strawberries, cultivated by local farmers and boasting a rich, intense flavour that no imported fruit can match.

That’s why B.C. strawberries are prized by everyone from homemakers to celebrity chefs — they are nature’s perfect fresh-fruit snack, make desserts divine in everything from pies to parfaits and their superb flavour can be savoured throughout the year in easy-to-make jams and preserves.

In addition to their unbeatable flavour, B.C. strawberries are also unmatched for their health benefits. Local growing and shipping conditions mean that these berries don’t need artificial methods of preservation or ripening. Picked at their peak of flavour, they are shipped immediately to select local markets so that consumers can enjoy same-day freshness.

Freshness is important, because strawberries are one of nature’s most complete nutrition packages, boast-

ing high levels of vitamin C and E, as well as antioxidants — complex compounds that are touted for their ability to repair damaged cells, and that are most abundant and concentrated in their natural fresh-fruit form.

The unique health and flavour advantages of B.C. strawberries start with their careful cultivation in the ideal growing conditions of the Lower Mainland, when warm sun and just the right amount of rain combine to bring them to their peak of flavour.

This year, a mild winter and unusually warm spring mean excellent growing conditions for local producers, who are forecasting an exceptionally sweet and satisfying crop.

Local strawberries are gaining in popularity every year as consumers become more aware of the health and environmental advantages of “buying local,” but the B.C. growing season is brief — usually three weeks. That means savvy consumers need to be ready to take advantage of the harvest as quickly as possible.

You can find B.C. strawberries at selected retail outlets.

U-pick farms are also a popular option — bring the family and experience the pleasure of picking your own fresh ripe berries.

For information on where to find B.C. strawberries, and for a full range of recipe ideas, go to the Fraser

Dear Chef Dez: “I love barbecued chicken with the skin on, however it always seems to get burned on the outside well before the centre gets cooked.

I know many people cook skinless chicken pieces and they have no problem, but I enjoy having the skin on. However, the fat from the skin promotes flareups, and thus gets burned.

How can I avoid this without losing my enjoyment of having the skin?”

Tracey S. Abbotsford Dear Tracey: There are two ways you can go about preventing this. One way is to use a combination of cooking methods between the oven and the

barbecue. Starting the cooking process of the chicken in your oven will cook much of the fat from the skin before it even hits the grill.

Lay seasoned chicken pieces in a baking dish and cook halfway through. Then transfer them to a preheated grill to get the flamebroiled taste and to finish the cooking process.

Barbecue sauce is best added just before the chicken is cooked on the barbecue.

If this seems like too much effort, the other way is to use lower heat on the barbecue and place the chicken pieces on an upper rack (if equipped). This will take more time than the first option. However, by doing all the grilling outside, your home will stay that much cooler.

Planning a move? The Better Business Bureau has some tips Planning a move can be a big challenge. Every year the Better Business Bureau hears countless stories about late movers, lost and damaged goods, over-billing and disputes over the actual weight of goods compared to the estimate.

“Consumers need to read the terms and conditions before moving day and not rely solely on price when deciding on a mover,” says Lynda Pasacreta, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau, Mainland B.C. “Some consumer reports tell us about how costs increase halfway through the job. If the customer refuses to pay, their property is then held in storage until the bill paid in full.”

Last year, the BBB received 140 complaints about moving companies, making the industry rated sixth overall for number of complaints received.

Want to avoid problems with your move? The BBB recommends that you start planning ahead several weeks

before your targeted moving date. Here are some quick tips to help you with your move: 1. Shop around. Get at least three estimates and keep in mind that the lowest bid may not necessarily be the best service when you consider insurance, training, experience, quality of vehicle, etc.

2. Get a written contract.

Make sure you get a contract that spells out the specific terms: the dates and times of your move, holding charges and over-weight penalties.

3. Ask about insurance.

Find out how much insurance the mover has and what it covers. Ask for the insurer’s name and policy number in case you need extra insurance to protect your possessions.

4. Make a list and check it. Make an inventory of the goods to be moved. Personally supervise or have someone trusted with your inventory list watch the loading and unloading of the truck.

5. Report loss or damage. If damage or loss occurs, have the driver make a special note on the inventory and/or delivery receipt, then promptly

notify the company in writing, keeping a copy for your own files.

6. If you pack you pay.

Remember, if the moving company packs everything, they are responsible; if you

pack things, you are on the hook for damages. If you pack, place heavy items on the bottom, lighter ones on top and label boxes.

7. Deal with insured companies. Ask for a clearance

letter from the mover stating that they have insurance coverage from WorkSafeBC. If they don’t, you may end up paying for any employee injuries during the move.

Before hiring a mover, visit

www.mbc.bbb.org for a reliability report on the company.

If the company is not responsive to a complaint you have brought to its attention, consider filing a complaint with the BBB.

TRI-CITIES AUTOMOTIVE

GUIDE

Audi offers green performance David Chao and Bob McHugh editorial@thenownews.com

W

ith the prestigious Green Car of the Year Award securely tucked under its seatbelt, the 2010 Audi A3 TDI proves that a performance-minded luxury car can also be an eco-friendly car — and that’s not a mutually exclusive concept.

Its 2.0-litre “clean diesel” engine has a combined (city/highway) average fuel economy rating of 5.8 litres/100 km. That’s especially significant for buyers in some provinces (such as B.C.), because there are rebates available. In B.C., the A3 TDI qualifies for an instant $1,500 point-of-sale rebate from its provincial sales tax (PST). This B.C. tax incentive for high-efficiency vehicles, however, will disappear at the end of June when the PST is scheduled to be replaced by the HST. The TDI is a new addition to the A3 line for the 2010 model year, and it comes in both base and premium trim levels. A compact yet premium five-door hatchback, the A3 possesses excellent driving dynamics and is also available with a 2.0-litre direct-injection gasoline engine with a Quattro (all-wheel-drive) drivetrain option. A 3.2-litre V6 model has been discontinued.

A six-speed manual transmission is available with the gasoline engine, but the optional sixspeed automatic gearbox (S-Tronic) is the only transmission offered with the diesel engine. In addition, the TDI only comes as a front-drive model — there’s no Quattro version.

Even a base A3 ($33,300) comes with 17inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps, cruise control, heated mirrors, keyless entry, heated washer nozzles, variable intermittent wipers, heated leather seats, 60/40 split-folding rear seat and a CD/

MP3 stereo with auxiliary input. The similarly equipped base TDI is $35,300.

A move up to premium (TDI — $38,000) adds rain- and speed-sensitive wipers, autodimming exterior and interior mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity, a panoramic sunroof, a power driver’s seat, a multi-function fourspoke leather-wrapped wheel and interior lighting package.

Our test A3 TDI had premium trim level with a new S Line sport package ($2,900). This package adds 18-inch wheels and performance tires, sport seats, a steering wheel with a dual paddle shift feature, a rear roof spoiler, door sill inlays and S-style bumpers front and rear.

It also came with a new optional metallic paint colour offering called Sphere blue ($650), rear side airbags ($500), Bi-xenon headlights ($900) and a Bose audio package ($1,700). Its full price came to $43,500.

The Looks The fifth-door of its fastback design adds utility and convenience and makes the most of its compact dimensions. It’s an attractive mix of functionality and clean, finely crafted styling lines that exude understated elegance.

A wide-mouth chrome-trimmed grille gives the A3 that unmistakably Audi look from a front view. The string of LED daytime running lights inside the headlamp clusters, which are arced in what appears to be a resolute frown, also add to its Audi-distinctiveness.

Flotation devices are a summertime must

A proper personal flotation device is paramount for summer fun on the water.

Summer is on its way and Canadians will soon take to the lakes for another season of fun in the sun. But before you hop on board any vessel, it’s important to keep water safety top of mind.

“Every year, almost 200 Canadians drown while boating, 87 per cent of whom were not wearing a personal floatation device,” said Pat Gray, director of marketing at Stearns Canada, in a press release. “This staggering statistic just goes to show that wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times could very well save your life — so make an investment in your safety and buckle up.”

Here are some tips to help you purchase a PFD this summer season.

•Look for a brightly coloured PFD that has been approved by Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard or Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Stearns offers infant, child and youth PFDs in a variety of vibrant colours that meet all Canadian PFD safety standards.

•Children’s PFDs are fit according to the child’s weight, so find the appropriate size and have your child try it on. Do not buy a PFD that is too large in the hope that he or she will grow into it.

•PFDs should fit snugly, and not ride up over the child’s chin or ears. If there is more than 7.6 cm between the child’s shoulders and the PFD, it is too big and could do more harm than good.

Safety features should include: 1 - A large collar for head support that also has a grab strap on it.

2 - Waist ties or elastic gathers in the front and back.

3 - A safety strap that goes between the legs to prevent the device from slipping over the child’s head.

4 - Sturdy, rust-proof buckles and zipper.

Parents should lead by example and also wear a PFD. Adult PFDs, like those made by Stearns, fit according to chest size. The PFD should feel snug, but still allow room to breathe and move around freely. Proper care of your PFD is just as important as finding one that fits. PFDs are designed to save lives — they should never be used as a seat cushion or fender for your boat.

Using it in this manner will compromise its effectiveness. More information regarding water safety can be found online by logging on to www.stearnsfloatation.com.

NEW SPORTS TECHNOLOGY

New golf club’s secret metal may hit too far on some par-4’s.

Coating on surface derived from armor-piercing metal used by military.

Largest head size allowed.

BRAMPTON, ON– A small company in the U.S. has taken the largest head allowed under the Rules of Golf, and souped it up with a coating derived from a once-secret metal developed by the Department of Defense to pierce enemy armor.

The coating hits with a force twice as hard as steel, 70% harder than titanium.

With that much punch a good golfer

by Mike Butler could turn some par-4’s into par-3’s.

That’s not what officials had in mind when they set a 460 cc size limit on clubs. Golf officials were trying to restrict distance, and they still are. There is talk of new rules requiring manufacturers to tone down their balls.

Good luck. Manufacturers will always push the envelope, and the maker of this club is no exception. Look what it’s done. First, it chooses a club head that goes right to size limit, then it slips in under the radar with a coating that comes from the tips of torpedoes and armor-piercing shells. Nothing wrong here, unless the club provokes a new rule. And it might. Here’s how it performed when a pro and other golfers tested it.

20-40 yards farther One golfer hit seven out of eight shots 20 yards farther with the new club. “I wish I hadn’t just spent $400.00 on mine,” he said.

A ten-handicapper, who also plays a $400.00 driver, hit the new club 40 yards farther. He said,

“I’m not doing anything. It seems to swing itself.”

Another golfer who had just bought a 460 cc driver (they can cost $400.00 to $500.00) wanted to get his money back. A husky golfer who swings at about 120 MPH actually cracked a ball with it.

Another golfer hit five of his seven drives from even to ten yards past shots he hit with his own driver, a $449.00 club.

A former PGA pro who played it in California said he had to club-down to a 3-wood on several par-4’s.

A 21-time long-ball champion in the U. S. said of the 500 drivers he’s used over twenty years, this one hit farther with less effort than any of them. One golfer begged the company to let him take it with him for a week in California. A low-handicapper curved several shots around imaginary dog legs 220 yards out.

The club’s huge sweet spot gave him more room to work the ball from toe to heel.

I asked a Director of the company that developed the club, called the Controller® 460, for comments. He lit up.

70% harder than titanium “This is the driver of all time! Tell me how anything can beat this: A driver with a maxed out head and sweet spot, a coating derived from a metal used by the military to pierce enemy armor – steel and titanium are too weak to do that – a clubface twice as hard as steel, 70% harder than titanium, a 45 1/2 inch, 69-gram high-fiber, graphite shaft that cracks through the air like a bull whip. What’s left! Look at those shots! That guy over there will shoot scratch golf.

“We’re giving golfers 30 days to play it. If their scores don’t drop big time, they can send it back and we’ll refund its price promptly.”

Big drivers hit big shots. That’s why there’s a 460 cc limit. A 460 cc driver with a 70% kicker hits really big shots.

Adanacs’ backup netminder ready to face hard shots The new Coquitlam Adanacs backup goalkeeper doesn’t look like the prototypical player.

Although the 30-year-old lacrosse player is listed as five-foot-eight, Ginny Capicchioni seems five inches shorter than her listed height.

When it comes to standing in the net and facing shots from the best players from the pro ranks, the New Jersey native is as tall as she wants to be.

Coquitlam head coach Neil Doddridge noted that the first woman to dress for a Western Lacrosse Association game has earned the right to be Brandon Atherton’s backup.

“Ginny’s with us and she’s our backup.

If Brandon needs a rest or he falters, then Ginny’s in,” Doddridge said after Saturday’s 87 loss to New Westminster.

Capicchioni has faced the questions and tests before, and as evident by a resume that includes a stint in the National Lacrosse League, Ontario majors and the U.S. national field lacrosse development program, she’s eager to let her game do the talking.

“My expectation is that if Brandon needs help I’m ready to go in,” said Capicchioni.

“He’s the starter on the team and I think he’s exceptional. I hope to practice through the season and get better and get some experience.”

Her entry into the sport came 10 years ago as a field hockey player at Sacred Heart University where she was invited to put on the lacrosse pads. They stuck.

“I learned the game in three months, it was a crash course. Since lacrosse came easy to me, I began to have national team aspirations after a while… I felt the women’s program wasn’t the right level that I was aiming for.”

So she took on the men’s side, and while it hasn’t been without some obstacles, it has kept her fire for the game burning.

“It’s kind of opened up since I played pro (in 2002), I was looking for the experience. As a religious person, I believe if God gives me the opportunity, I will be ready.”

Even if her only floor time is in practice, she’s willing to absorb as many shots as possible if it helps the team and improves her game.

“It’s not tough to sit on the bench. Everyone in this league paid their dues to play and I kind of just showed up,” she said. “You’ve got to prove yourself in a lot of different situations to get in the game.”

The Adanacs host the Nanaimo Timbermen on Saturday, 7 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. The pre-game BBQ begins at 5:30 p.m. on the upstairs patio.

Talon sprinter hits his stride at provincials Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com It seems every race he’s run has resulted in a new PB. That’s personal best, but when you hear that Hodson Harding has only been at this track and field thing since February, then you begin to understand.

His competitors are learning quickly, too.

The Grade 10 sprinter for Gleneagle blazed to first place last Saturday at the B.C. High School Track and Field championships, winning the 400-metre race in 49.10 seconds. He also placed fourth in the 200 m event.

“This was my first (B.C.s), so I didn’t know what to expect, but I didn’t expect to win,” Harding said. “It was a surprise, really.”

His first-place 50.11-second time at the Fraser Valleys was carved down to 49.38 in the B.C. preliminary heat on Friday — both PBs. They gave way to Saturday’s time, which benefited from a rocket-like start out of the blocks.

“Definitely, I always want a good start and then I find my stride to sustain it,” he noted. “I just heard the announcer call my name in the lead and kept running... I didn’t have time to savour it, I was so exhausted at the end.”

He’s only been on the track since February, signing up after his junior Talons’ basketball season came to a close.

Harding, whose family arrived in Coquitlam from England just over a year ago, said he’s still learning a lot about the sport.

“At first I didn’t have any idea of what to do, I was just in it for the fun. But I’ve had some success at the (recent) UBC and SFU meets, so

it’s been great.”

Harding trains with the Coquitlam Cheetahs, where he’s coached by former Canadian Olympian Tara Self. Running in the 100, 200 and 400 events, he has already caught the eyes of college recruiters.

“I’m definitely still learning, I have to work on my form and technique and I’m still learning how to visualize my racing.”

At 6’2 and 167 pounds, Harding has an imposing stride. On the junior basketball circuit, he’s has been playing centre, where speed isn’t usually part of the job description.

On the track, it’s his secret weapon.

He is aiming to test his new PB at the B.C. Team trials next month, and hopefully on to the nationals in August.

“There’s definitely room for me to improve,” he said.

Salling to man short at Worlds

Port Coquitlam’s Jennifer Salling was one of 17 players named Thursday to Canada’s roster for the 2010 ISF XII Women’s World championships in Venezuela.

The shortstop, who just wrapped up the NCAA season with the University of Washington Huskies, was one of five B.C. players chosen.

Canada kicks off the world championships on June 24 against Cuba.

IN THE DIRT: A Coquitlam Little League Giant slides in safely for a run during a recent major division game against the Cardinals at Mackin Yard. The Cards sit atop the house division with a 10-4-1 record, with their most recent win a 2-1 decision over the Yankees. League playoffs begin next week.

Centaurs, Blue Devils gain valuable provincial soccer experience experience.

“As always, there are times when you felt you could have performed better, but 10th is a respectable showing for our young squad,” said Cents coach Larry Moro.

They defeated Reynolds 3-1 and Mount Baker 2-0, but ended the tourney with a 3-1 loss to Burnaby Central.

Best, which won the Fraser Valley title

only two weeks earlier, fell 1-0 to Fleetwood Park on the first day and couldn’t recover, placing 11th.

“We had high expectations and really believed we were one of the top teams,” said Best coach Alfonso Napoletano.

Cents’ Kianna Leung and Best’s Ali Trenter were named to the Commissioner’s 11 all-star team.

Continues on next page

June 13 - 19

Cancer June 21-July 22: Stay in rest mode one more week. Contemplate your situation, your future, and make plans. You’ll like Sunday/Monday: your energy rises, and others are nicer than usual. Monday begins a month of good money luck – perhaps a balm to heal last winter/spring’s cuts and bruises.

You could take or start a great income action Monday night (after dark). But the time is telling: much of your success this summer might be tough to grab (wrong hours, hints rather than solidities, etc.) – don’t worry, this is just a precursor of a big success in 2011! Be home, dream, Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A sweet, mellow month for you. It grows even more mellow now. Love could wander in, or you could start having marriage thoughts about someone you’re seeing. (Let’s face it, you’re always “considering” marriage.) This summer is just a taste, for most of you, as your true mate stands hidden. Your social life grows more gentle, gracious; you’ll be popular, especially with “identicals,” rather than those who are different (as last winter/spring).

Be ambitious Sunday/Monday. Best path: socializing, networking. A great friend could appear Monday/ Tuesday, Saturday – maybe a future partner.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Last month you moved from an autumn/winter of deep mysteries (and deep desires) to more open, affectionate dealings with others. Now, those mysteries, deep desires, intimacies and finances of your life arise again, to July 9, but in a sweet, lucky way (especially Monday night). Dig deep, and share, enjoy this time, grow closer to others/another. A legal, intellectual, travel or cultural matter still weighs on you, but you will soon grow more assertive here, demand or initiate action.

This should bring a two-year burden to an end by late July. But start no lawsuits! Work hard all week.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your domestic scene, into which someone sprinkled pepper since last October, now (to mid-July) seems sprinkled with sugar and sweet words. You could notice this immediately, Sunday to Wednesday. (Though by Wednesday the old domestic or inner doubts might return – don’t worry, these doubts will fade forever, by 2011.) Monday’s a hugely favourable day to communicate, to talk about love (and vacation or travel or relatives visiting). Late night, begin a family, gardening, real estate or similar project. Chase money all week, but pause for a wee bit of pleasure, beauty, Thursday/Friday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Winter/spring’s scowl yields to smiles and charm, now to mid-July. You feel sweeter –make sure someone knows it. It’s quite possible you’ve unknowingly alienated someone – or outright declared war. Well, you’re a warrior no more.

Sue for peace, while the suing is good. Lie low, rest, look within Sunday/Monday. Bright insights come.

Your energy surges late this night to Wednesday.

Monday night, especially, is great for talk, love, wooing, writing, meeting someone. Chase money Thursday/Friday. It’s not that you’ll see immediate rewards, but your efforts build “future cred.” Friends, Saturday.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your social side will grow over the next two months. But you’ll become a “social warrior,” either associating with rougher types (or simply with colleagues, co-workers) or being a bit more assertive, demanding – “Let me in that door!” Money luck will somehow be connected to this (security luck too, perhaps). Sunday/Monday are mellow, easy. Be ambitious Monday night to Thursday, especially Monday night, when you can launch or reel in a plum job. All month, mysteries, investigations highlighted – detect, don’t let someone elude you!

Sex, finances important also – go slow here.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your romantic and social scenes are surging! So is your tendency to become a chatterbox when you see someone you want – talk is how you play the game of love. You could meet someone who would make a viable mate, now to early July, especially early this week. Relations with everyone improve, as a sweet, affectionate note enters. Tackle chores Sunday/Monday – but don’t start new work-like projects Sunday daytime.

Thursday/Friday are sexy, filled with mystery, but throw some irksome situations at you. See the reality these days – don’t invest. Saturday, dreamy love!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high. Start important projects, get your way, see and be seen – tackle things that formerly intimidated you. For seven months, communications have been hopeful, friendly — and angry, simmering with hostility. Now to mid-July, a turnaround: others speak or write to you graciously and affectionately. You get (got) what you put out.

If you need to “make up,” do it late Monday night.

Money (or friendship) news is good Monday daytime.

Love is magic Saturday. Bravely face a financial, sexual or lifestyle “reality” all week – conquer it.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Male or female, you’ll project your rougher, more determined, assertive side through late July. Your interest in sexual intimacy and financial dealing will rise strongly. At the same time, you’re unusually conservative, careful and even socially hesitant. The combination could be a good one. However, for the four weeks ahead you might lack the graciousness or charm that can lubricate (unfortunate word) sexual or financial situations. (So plan your important meetings for July 10 onward, when all factors work for you. Sunday/Monday are optimistic, friendly! Be ambitious Thursday/Friday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent is on relationships in every form – and on horizons, opportunities, relocation. You’re starting to feel more romantic, and a new sweetness enters your mental sphere, where before there was impatience and assertiveness. (One example: you might have been fighting a lawsuit – the mental – but now you settle or make overtures.) Mysteries, sexual urges, finances, inheritance featured Sunday/Monday. Monday also might bring a friendly meeting that could turn to “instant love.” No, don’t be cautious! Wisdom mid-week. Be ambitious Thursday/Friday. Dreamy happiness Saturday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies on home, food, kids, rest – it’s your hibernation period, for one more week. Relationships intensify now through July – you could create a financial partnership, enjoy a spicy, casual, sensual affair (it won’t last long) or make an enemy – or fall madly and angrily in love. Give the last a wide, wide berth. Co-workers become affectionate, work will be pleasant to early July. Romance might enter the workplace Sunday to Wednesday. Seek pleasure, beauty, love Sunday/ Monday. (Sunday daytime isn’t “wise.”) Relationships need patience Thursday/Friday. Secrets Saturday.

Aries March 21 - April 19: A long (sevenmonth) hot and even “bothered” romantic, creative or pleasure pursuit ended a week ago. Now a much sweeter, affectionate pursuit begins. This is less an expression of your own needs (as the last one was) and more a less selfish, true search for a partner. In business/practical areas, the few weeks ahead help you to negotiate deals, settlements, woo clients. Rest, attend to kids, home, real estate Sunday/Monday. That romantic (creative, et al) thing becomes very obvious Monday to Wednesday!

Tackle chores Thursday/Friday. Give others the road Saturday: intuition soars.

ENTRANCE FEE

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.

In the months since Christmas we are giving out more hampers than ever to a minimum of 800 households every two weeks.

Some Tri-cities families decide between rent and food, between paying for medication and food. The hampers we distribute do not take care of nutritional needs of these families for the two weeks between hamper distributions; but they may help families make other important decisions regarding where they spend their limited budget. 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.

Visit www.sharesociety.ca to sign up or call 604-529-5107.

If you plan to host an event, let us know. Call Heather Stacey, our Special Events and Communications Coordinator at 604-529- 5107 so she can post your event on our website or help you with any questions. Visit www.sharesociety.ca for answers to many of your questions.

We are approaching a time of transition for SHARE as Joanne Granek prepares to move on to another phase in her life after 25 years of service. Joanne has been an inspirational and visionary leader in our organization and our communities are fortunate to have benefited from her time as Executive Director over the past 12 years. As we move through this transition, we acknowledge and celebrate the past, and look forward to the challenges of the future.SHARE will continue to follow its Vision and Mission in supporting the needs of individuals and families in our communities.
