he times are a-changing, and the law needs to keep up. That’s the consensus from those working in the realm of family law this week after the provincial government released a watershed white paper proposing sweeping changes to the Family Relations Act. Attorney General Mike de Jong offered a last-chance opportunity for interested parties to provide feedback on legislation that governs the fallout of divorce and separation in B.C. “Family law touches more British Columbians than any other type of law. Changes to an area of law that has such profound impacts on families and

children must not be made lightly,” de Jong said in a press release. De Jong is not exaggerating the impacts of the legislation. According to the white paper, Statistics Canada found nearly 41 per cent of married couples in Canada will not last to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. The current rules were also enacted a generation ago: While the Divorce Act is under federal jurisdiction, B.C.’s Family Relations Act was enacted in 1978 to build on child custody and maintenance laws as well as property division. But a lot has changed since then. “The scope and scale of social change in Canada in the more than 30 years since it was introduced has been enormous. Marriage, for example, is no longer a prerequisite for cohabita-

children into commodities or property to be divided among parents. But more seriously, the terms of custody and access are also inherently adversarial — there are “winners” and “losers” following separation or divorce. “This legislation also tries to remove some of the terms that, in practice, can be inflammatory terms such as ‘guardianship,’ ‘access,’ or ‘custody,’” Peter Schmidt, a family lawyer also from BTM Lawyers LLP, said. “It refers to ‘parenting time,’ which is more of a common-sense term, rather than putting on these legal labels that people get worked up about when they don’t know what they mean.” The most important change, Finlay said,

involves providing people information on their options up front, so they can make informed decisions. “I get a lot of calls from people who say, ‘We’re just recently separated, and we don’t know where to start,’” he said. “There are self-help options developing. People can go to information centres. There’s lots of stuff online. “If people can start off with the right information and understanding the process, they can pick from a menu of options for what will work best for them.” Groups and individuals have until Oct. 8, 2010 to give their comments on the proposed legislation, at www.ag.gov.bc.ca/legislation. Feedback will be considered in finalizing the new family law.

Do sister city agreements pay off financially? jmcfee@thenownews.com It’s three for Coquitlam, two for Port Moody and none for Port Coquitlam. That’s the Tri-Cities tally for partnership agreements with Asian cities. Coquitlam entered a friendship city agreement with Paju City, Korea, last June, adding to its administrative relationship with Metro Manila in the Philippines and its sister city arrangement with Laizhou, China. Similarly, Port Moody has created connections with its two friendship cities — Tianjin suburb Tanggu and Beijing suburb Pinggu. But Port Coquitlam has opted out of such partnership arrangements to date. Both Coquitlam and Port Moody received $50,000 in provincial grants through the Asia-Pacific Initiative, a long-term strategy designed to strengthen B.C.’s economic ties with China, India, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. Port Coquitlam did not apply for the grant. But do these agreements bring any benefits? Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini says they do.

Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson: “There are better options” for resources.

“We’ve had delegations come and take a look at our hospital and senior facilities. We’ve had people to come here to look at wood-framing techniques. We have had schools come to School District 43 for exchanges,” Trasolini said. “Tianjin Tanggu has adopted our tree-planting approach and treed their big city. They’re even approaching the pesticide-free practices for the city. And, of course, people that come here look for investment opportunities.” The cities have also forged cultural connections, brought to life through Chinese performances and artwork on display at last year’s Festival

of the Arts. “It’s been exceptionally worthwhile,” Trasolini said. “There’s tremendous, tremendous connection.” Port Moody still has money left over from the $50,000 grant, as does Coquitlam, which plans to spend the remaining $15,500 to send a three-person delegation to Korea and China this fall. But not everyone believes in the benefits. Coquitlam Couns. Mae Reid, Lou Sekora and Selina Robinson opposed the trip. Reid and Robinson believe only two people should travel, not three. “We say that we have money for this trip. There’s always surprises, and I don’t think our taxpayers need to be surprised … I think there are better options to better spend these resources,” Robinson said. “These are still taxpayer

But it won’t, and I can tell you, we’ll be sitting here three years later and nothing’s going to happen,” said Sekora, who would prefer to use the provincial funds to pay for HST costs. Besides, Sekora added, the city’s not prepared for big business investment. “Coquitlam’s not ready to do anything right now. We have no land for sale, so what are they going to do? ….

Re: “City still accepting public feedback over planned dog park,” Wednesday, July 21. I applaud Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson’s stance on this issue, as portrayed in the article in the July 21 issue of The NOW: how can Coquitlam make an informed choice without having a clear idea of how much money can be used to set up the dog park? Secondly, I firmly prefer that the next dog park site be an actual dog park. To The While I have no objection to an occasional dog owner running their leashed dog(s) along the trails by the Coquitlam River, if the city designates these trails as an official “dog park” I shall then avoid ever using these trails because I feel strongly that this choice for the new dog park site would be unfair to those of us who do not own dogs, for whatever reasons we choose not to be dog owners. My daughter, who lives in Victoria, has owned a dog which she walked daily and she has pointed out two further aspects of dog parks which impinge

on this decision: (1) dog owners enjoy coming to a dog park because of the socialization feature for both them and their dogs and (2) there are a lot of irresponsible dog owners who do not scoop up the poop produced by their canine(s). I, for one, would much rather have such droppings left in a dog park rather than on a public trail. Lastly, there are going to be hidden costs associated with any choice and, while the choice of the Coquitlam Editor River trail system looks to be the least expensive, there are issues such as fecal contamination of the river during heavy rains — and we do get them here in Coquitlam — which may have very expensive consequences. Given this and the wish of many people to walk these trails without being accosted by dogs, some of which inevitably won’t be on leash, it is clear to me that either the Town Centre Park site or the Glen Park site are much better options.

Date rape drug test a valuable product “A cynical attempt to make some money.” That’s how Daisy Kler of the Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter described a new test designed to let women know whether a drink has been spiked by date rape drugs. “Shame on the company for feeding off the fear that women, reasonably, have of being raped,” Kler is quoted in media reports as saying. “By focusing on women’s behaviour it gives the message that women can somehow prevent these attacks from happening and if they don’t it’s somehow their fault.” Technically, she’s right. No woman — or man — should be blamed for being the target of a sexual assault. But for those women who worry about waking up in strange surroundings after having their drink spiked, the testing kits might offer some peace of mind. Already available in Quebec, the Drink Detective will be rolled out across Canada in coming weeks, at a suggested retail price of $5.99. The disposable kit includes a dropper that drinkers use to apply samples of their drink to a blotting paper designed to detect GHB, ketamine or benzodiazepines — the three drugs most commonly linked to cases of date rape. If the drink contains traces of those drugs, changes will be visible on the blotting paper, the company says. Is it sad that a simple outing to a pub for a few drinks with friends now requires a chemistry test? Of course, but that’s the fault of the predators who target women with date rape drugs, not the fault of Drink Detective. The testing kits are no more a cynical attempt to profit from fear than home security systems or car immobilizers are. In an ideal world, predators would not slip drugs into anyone’s drink, and women would not have to worry about becoming victims. In the real world, if such a testing kit prevents just one rape, it’s a great product. And speaking of fear, maybe knowing that women are using the kit will prevent predators from attempting to spike drinks, which would be a victory for everyone. What do you think?

My View

ability to recall municipal politicians, it is virtually impossible to remove a politician from office midterm. For example, in 2008, then-Port Coquitlam Mayor Scott Young was charged with a criminal offence. He was sentenced to a one-year conditional sentence and 18 months probation. Port Coquitlam councillors asked him to resign, but he refused. A longer term would have kept him in office even longer, leaving local citizens with questionable representation. Moving from a three- to a four-year term is a big mistake. It lets politicians hang around in office even longer without seeking the approval of voters. Local government is supposed to serve citizens, not itself. To enhance accountability, local politicians need to face voters more often, not less. There is no legitimate justification for the provincial government to increase the election term. You can make your views known by contacting the Minister of Community and Rural Development, Ben Stewart, at 250-387-2283 or ben.stewart.mla@ leg.bc.ca.

Ban on gun shops ‘discrimination’ Re: “No gun shops in Port Moody now or in the future: council,” Wednesday, July 21. Discrimination is discrimination. So what your mayor has just told me and about six per cent of the population is that gun owners and the small family-owned businesses that support law-abiding sport shooters are not welcomed in Port Moody. Thank you, mayor, for being blatantly clear about your discrimination. I, and many others like me, will be sure not to spend any money at all in your city. So will this bylaw resolve your gang problems and crime issues? I think not. As far as stores selling guns and ammo, I would rather have them as a neighbour than you. Colin Parkinson North Vancouver

Not everyone plans to use SkyTrain Re: “Burquitlam development approved,” Wednesday, July 21. Once again the eco-terrorists have given the developers a weapon to thwart the evil motorist and further enhance the bottom line of the builders. I am never going to take the bus to the SkyTrain. I would take the SkyTrain regularly if there was parking at any of the SkyTrain

stations, but it’s an “all-in” proposition, so I will continue to drive my car. Christine Clarke Port Moody

Don’t feed wildlife Another bear was hauled out of its backyard on Burke Mountain recently, a victim of purposeful foraging that led it to garbage left inconsiderately by humans. It was only doing what comes naturally and, of course, its nose would lead it to the scrumptious smell of To The tasty leftovers dropped on the ground by construction workers and unsecured garbage cans. We have lived for 17 years on Burke mountainside, right against the wilderness, with a compost pile, fruit trees and a vegetable garden, never having had a problem from bears and never having had a bear in our garbage. We’ve always joked with our friends at the bottom of the mountain that they see more bears than we do. Now, with the influx of workers leaving their lunch wrappers on the ground and new neighbours not understanding that they are living right against the wilderness — with nothing between them and Whistler — our neighbours the bears are being carted off to other locations or destroyed because they now associate people with food instead of fearing humans

and moving away, which is normal bear behaviour. I have come in very close contact with black bears many times. Our family has tromped through the brushy trails up here for years. We make noise in conversation so the bears know we’re around and move off. On the occasion there has been closer contact, a simple loud whoop and a stomping of feet or clapping of hands has sent the bear scurrying into the bush. I am concerned that something really serious is going to happen up here between humans and bears Editor because the bears’ instincts to fear man are being overridden by their quest for food that they find more abundantly around human homes and work sites. And it is not only the bears. Last fall a coyote had to be destroyed because it was following a group of children on the way to their school bus stop. It actually brushed up against an eight-year-old girl. We think it is because it could smell the child’s lunch in her backpack, but there is no way a coyote should approach a group of humans. It turned out some construction workers had been feeding coyotes at their lunch break and the coyotes were showing up when the mobile coffee catering truck would sound its arrival to the workers. Please, people, keep your gar-

Or designate a place on your job site to place it so that it can be removed every day. The proper handling of trash is the responsibility of every individual of our community, not the developers, not the general contractors, not “somebody else,” not the City of Coquitlam. (And, yes, I’ve picked up off my street more than my share of fast-food wrappers, cigarette boxes, coffee cups and my favourite, doggie doo bags left neatly at the base of the telephone pole at the corner of my property.) Do not purposely feed bears, raccoons, coyotes or deer. Losing their fear of humans will cost them their lives because they become unhealthy or a nuisance. Wild animals are beautiful because they are wild. We are privileged to live so close beside them, and people travel halfway around the world to see them. As we watch with horror the continuing man-made environmental disaster caused by the failure of British Petroleum’s “fail safe” shut-off valve, I would like to remind everyone that looking after our Earth needs to begin in our own corner of the world with our individual effort to reduce, recycle, re-use and properly dispose of our personal trash.

Hiring a landscaping contractor? Follow the BBB’s advice

majority of the work will be done at the same time, so the age and condition of the yard are similar. • Check out the company’s report at mbc.bbb.org and also check to see if they are listed with the BC Landscape & Nursery Association at bclna.com. If the company displays either a BBB or BCLNA logo in its marketing or advertising, verify it with each organization independently. • Always obtain any expressed or implied warranty on the company’s workmanship in writing. • Specifically request any refund or repair information. Ask questions about whether the company automatically renews the contract each year. It is a good idea to be on site when the actual landscaping takes place. If you become concerned that the job is not what you had originally contracted for, you have the right to tell the landscapers to stop whatever it is they are doing.

(What every homeowner needs to know before calling any plumber!!!)

The correct tools and equipment MUST be used. The type of problem and where it’s located dictates the correct procedure and equipment. Complete and thorough “diagnosing” must be performed to accurately choose the best solution. The problem will recur if this is not completed properly. The plumber must KNOW HOW! It’s disappointing to say, but less than 20% of the plumbers in business today have any ongoing training or advanced certification. WE DO AND WE GUARANTEE IT!

All Plumbers Are Not The Same.

Dear Chef Dez: “I heard that it’s important to let a beef roast ‘rest’ when it comes out of the oven, before carving it. Is this true, and why?” Brad B. Abbotsford Dear Brad: This is true. Actually it is true with all cuts of meat, not just beef roasts. The “resting” period gives the meat time to adjust coming from the extreme heat to room temperature. During the cooking process, the high heat causes the atoms in the molecular structure of the meat to move at a high rate of speed. If the meat is cut into soon after it has been removed from the oven, grill or pan, it will lose a large degree of the vital juices that keep it moist and flavourful. • Chef Dez is a food columnist, culinary instructor and cooking show performer.

TRI-CITIES AUTOMOTIVE

GUIDE

Change happens to the best David Chao editorial@thenownews.com

hange has come to the long-lived Toyota 4Runner, and it’s long overdue. That’s not a criticism of last year’s model, which has held up quite well — it’s just that last year’s model came to us in 2003. Change wasn’t so much inevitable as it was necessary. After all, when you have a customer base as loyal as 4Runner owners are, you don’t want to keep them waiting too long. Now in its fifth generation, the 2010 4Runner takes everything that was good about the 2009 model and makes it better. It’s more refined, more stylish, more sophisticated, more everything. It’s a traditional, truck-based SUV with a tough outer body covering a tougher underbody. Toyota offers five different SUVs, reaching out to a wide variety of consumers. The popular RAV4 competes in the compact segment, while the full-size Sequoia is exactly the opposite. The Highlander is the friendly people mover, and the FJ Cruiser harkens back to the super-tough FJ40 four-by-four. For its part, the 4Runner combines the size, passenger and cargo space, and price of the Highlander with the off-roading prowess of the FJ Cruiser. While the Highlander is designed purely for city use and doesn’t fare too well-off the beaten path, the 4Runner is at home both on the street and in the wild. Similarly, the 4Runner provides space and convenience that the FJ Cruiser wasn’t designed to offer. What the 4Runner doesn’t bring to the table are the manners of the car-based Highlander.

Eschewing a unitized body for the classic bodyon-frame design, it prizes agility and ground clearance over handling and comfort. It’s intended for people who miss the pre-crossover SUVs that were essentially pickup trucks with extra seats. Viewed in this light, the new 4Runner is exceptionally well-designed, but it’s not for those who are looking for true car-like crossovers. That being said, Toyota has made the choice pretty easy. If you want a relaxed and comfortable mid-size SUV, get a Highlander. If you need a tougher vehicle that can go off the beaten path, pick up a 4Runner. Either way, you really can’t go wrong.

Design

This might be the first 4Runner that could be described as imposing. The tall SUV has a rugged, hard-edged exterior that serves it well, with subtly bulging wheel wells that provide a muscular stance. Existing 4Runner owners will appreciate the ongoing evolution of the styling. The proportions are largely the same as previous models, and details such as the roof rails and large Cpillar are all there. You can even still get the optional hood scoop. The interior is a huge improvement over the previous generation. The upright dashboard is all truck, with no-nonsense buttons and switches that reinforce the 4Runner’s tough demeanour. Overall, the new 4Runner feels like a much higher-quality vehicle, and it should considering the improvements we’ve seen in materials  CONTINUED ON PAGE 18, see MORE.

The 2010 Toyota 4Runner has been modernized throughout, including features like electronic fuel mileage tracking. Photo submitted

TRI-CITIES AUTOMOTIVE

GUIDE

MOTORING

More horsepower in four-litre  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16.

and manufacturing over the past decade. This is particularly noticeable in the cabin, which gains a degree of sophistication missing from previous models.

Performance

The 4Runner’s four-litre V-6 produces 270hp and 278 lb-ft of torque, generating more horsepower than the previous model’s 4.7-litre V-8 and more torque than the previous V-6. As a result, Toyota has chosen not to offer a V-8 in 2010. A five-speed automatic is the only available transmission. SR5 and Trail Edition 4Runners feature a part-time four-wheel-drive system, while the Limited model gains full-time four-wheel drive. While it may not be as easy to drive as a Highlander, the 2010 4Runner is dramatically improved over the 2009 version. It’s smoother and sportier, with better handling and ride quality. It does what most body-on-frame vehicles do, diving forward when you brake and shaking noticeably in turns.

Environment

Given the boxy exterior, it’s no surprise that there’s lots of room inside the 4Runner, which boasts excellent headroom in both the front and rear seats. Power-adjustable front seats are standard and generally very comfortable, but the lumbar support could be a bit firmer. The second-row bench seat splits 40/20/40 and has seatbacks that recline up to 16 degrees.

Controls are logically placed, and the Trail Edition’s overhead console — which collects all of the off-road switches in one location — is a nice touch.

Features

Starting at $36,800, the 4Runner is sold in SR5, SR5 Upgrade, Trail Edition and Limited trims. It tops out at $49,420 for the Limited with navigation. Standard features include ABS, vehicle stability control, traction control, air-conditioning, fog lamps, moonroof, tilt/telescope steering, eight-speaker CD stereo, cruise control, keyless entry, power rear hatch and front/knee/side/side-curtain airbags. Options, mostly found in the various trim levels, include the kinetic suspension system, X-Read sport suspension, crawl control, multiterrain ABS, heated seats, leather interior, air conditioning, 15-speaker JBL sound system, Bluetooth, navigation system with back-up camera, smart-key with push-button start, third-row seat and the sliding cargo tray. Fuel efficiency is rated at 12.6 L/100 km in the city and 9.2 L/100km on the highway.

Thumbs up

Powerful styling; solid V6; numerous offroad features.

Thumbs down

Soft on-road handling.

The bottom line

A brilliant SUV if you’re looking for a true SUV.

Toyota’s new take on the 4Runner has a rugged, hard-edged exterior with subtly bulging wheel wells that provide a muscular stance. The styling has evolved: while keeping current proportions, details like roof rails and pillars are enlarged for a dramatic effect. Photos submitted

BCAA offers hot-weather tips for drivers with kids, pets Each year, BCAA’s Road Assist service rescues close to 300 children and pets from locked cars, according to a press release. Many of the accidental lock-in calls occur while children playing with keys lock themselves inside the vehicle, or when drivers and their passengers become distracted while getting in and out of their vehicle. Car doors can close unexpectedly, locking young children or a pet in the car along with the car keys. “During warm sunny weather, the inside of a car can reach extremely high temperatures in a matter of minutes — even if it’s parked in the shade,” explains Dave Chapman, BCAA’s manager for fleet operations. “It gets even worse if the car is sitting directly under the sun. The car acts like a magnifying glass and creates

intense interior heat. Within a matter of minutes, your car becomes a four-door furnace.” To avoid any chance that a child or pet will be harmed by the heat of a car this summer, BCAA encourages parents, caregivers and pet owners to play it safe and take the following precautions: • Never leave a child or pet alone in a car, even with the windows down or air conditioner on. • Teach children not to play in cars and keep car keys out of reach and sight. • Keep your vehicle locked at all times — even at home in the garage or driveway. This will help prevent toddlers from crawling into a car and accidentally locking themselves inside. • When running errands, leave children with

a responsible adult at home, or travel with a responsible passenger who can stay with children or pets while you complete your tasks. • Keep your pets at home during hot summer days unless you need to take them to the veterinarian, doggie day camp or grooming salon. • If you drive a pickup truck, don’t leave dogs in the truck bed. The heat can burn their paws. • Before buckling children in the car, check to make sure surfaces such as seatbelt buckles aren’t overly hot as they could burn a child’s sensitive skin. • If a child or pet is locked inside a vehicle, call 911 in an extreme emergency. Develop a routine so you’re always aware that your child

or pet is with you. • Look before you leave. Always turn around to check your backseat before you leave the car. It is surprisingly common to forget kids or pets if they are quiet or sleeping. • If you need to retrieve items placed in the backseat, make it a habit to open the rear doors rather than reaching from the front seat. This will ensure you don’t forget anyone. • Put your child’s bags and other items in the front seat. With their belongings in plain sight, you’re less likely to forget you’re travelling with them. • If you have several kids and/or pets in the car, do a head count before you close the door to make sure everyone is out when you reach your destination.

College foundation board has new focus

HUGE

Y DA R U T h A t S 4 JULY 2

ONE DAY SALE

The Douglas College Foundation’s new board of directors has its eye firmly fixed on the future as it celebrates 25 years of raising money for students. One of those innovative ways is a Renaissance gala that will showcase music, hospitality and leadership students in a black tie/costume ball set for October. It features artists, circus performers and dancing in a tribute to the 40th anniversary of Douglas College and the foundation’s 25th. New board chair Baj Puri says the new board is focused on ensuring the success of the gala, as well as attracting new funding so as to continue to be able to assist more than 1,500 students annually with bursaries, awards or scholarships. Puri has been with the foundation since 1988 and is passionate about the opportunities it provides to students in their home communities. He is joined on the board by vice-chair Darlene Hyde of Coquitlam, treasurer Neal Nicholson, a councillor for the City of Coquitlam, secretary Gerry Della Mattia and past-president Bill Payne. Port Coquitlam’s Nigel Lark and Coquitlam’s Suzanne Kyra were appointed as directors at the July AGM, joining Coquitlam residents Nick Cheng and George Home, as well as Karen Baker-MacGrotty, Roy Daykin, Kim Husband, Karl Maier and Denise McLaren. For information on the Masque Royale gala, call 604-7776173 or 604-777-6168.

Wine and food tasting this Saturday at SFU Club Ilia Eatery & Lounge, along with West Coast Wine Education, will host an eco-friendly event called Summerdelish: Taste the Earth, tomorrow (Saturday) at SFU. “The quality of organic and sustainable products compares to, and in some cases surpasses, everyday processed foods or foods grown with pesticides and other chemicals,” event organizer and NOW wine columnist John Gerum said in a press release. More than two dozen companies will provide food or beverage samples at the event, set for 7 to 9 p.m. on July 24. Tickets, which cost $29 per person, are available online at www.wcwed.com or in person at the St. Johns Liquor Store (2929 St. Johns St. in Port Moody) and SFU’s Club Ilia (8902 University High St. in Burnaby).

In a vicious cycle, trapping us in a downward spiral of self-deprecation, past trauma and abuse foster an impaired self-concept and we live the role of one unworthy of respect and care: we abuse our bodies with excess, drugs, alcohol, reckless behaviour and risky choices. We may choose a lifestyle out of step with our deeper needs and values. We may choose relationships that perpetuate our diminished role and are far less than what we deserve. We may even reject love and happiness because we believe we do not deserve them.

Junior and senior Adanacs on the cusp of moving on up John Kurucz sports@thenownews.com The Coquitlam junior Adanacs survived a second-straight sluggish playoff start in defeating the Delta Islanders 10-7 Tuesday. The junior side found itself trailing 5-0 before the first period was 10 minutes old, though a dominant middle frame righted the ship for the regular season champs. The Game 2 victory put the A’s up 2-0 on the Islanders and one win away from advancing to the league finals. “We struggled a little bit to get the motor going, but I attribute that more to the way Delta played — you’ve got to give them credit,” said Adanacs coach Curt Malawsky. “The first game we came out with a bit of rust, but [on Tuesday] Delta earned everything they got. They deserved to be up 5-0.” Down 6-1 with a minute left in the opening frame, the game’s turning point came after intermediate call-up Wesley Berg potted the A’s second goal with one second left in the period. From there, the Adanacs poured in six unanswered goals in the second period, before popping two more in the third. Having sat out Sunday’s 6-5 overtime win, both Berg and Mark Matthews had a dramatic

influence on the contest. The Adanacs’ leading scorer in the regular season, Matthews notched two goals and four assists, while Berg potted a hat trick. “Wesley is wise beyond his years. He’s been great for us all year long. With Mark, he was a big influence out there for us and he, along with Robert Church, are our floor generals,” Malawsky said. Rounding out Coquitlam’s offence Tuesday was Tor Reinholdt, Brandon Bertoia, Travis Cornwall and Ben McIntosh, who notched a pair. The Adanacs played a bit of musical chairs with their goalies as well, as starter Dan Lewis was replaced in the first period by Brodie Macdonald after allowing five goals on 11 shots. All three members of the Adanacs netminding corps has now seen action in the club’s first two games. “Everybody was going to get a start, and obviously if you start and you’re not playing well, then the next guy is going in,” Malawsky said. “There’s no animosity if one guy gets pulled and the other guy goes in. As long as we get the end result and win, these guys are ready to hop right in whenever they’re asked to, and kudos to them for that.” Game 3 goes tonight (Friday) at 8 p.m. the Coquitlam Sports Centre. If necessary, Game

4 is scheduled for one day later at the Ladner Arena, while a potential Game 5 would be played on July 28 in Coquitlam. On the Western Lacrosse Association side of the ledger, the senior Adanacs could see their post-season fortunes become a lot clearer with a win over Burnaby Saturday. Currently sitting in a third-place tie with Maple Ridge, the A’s are faced with a series of potential tie-breaking scenarios, but according to head coach Neil Doddridge, one thing is clear: win out, and they’re in. “It’s in our best interest that we win both,” he said. “If we win the next two we’re in, but if we split, it gets dicey and it’s not in our own hands.” The 8-8 Adanacs hold the tie-break advantage over both Maple Ridge and the fifth-place Nanaimo Timbermen by virtue of head-to-head wins. The club also has a game in hand on the Burrards, who have only one contest left in the regular season. The Adanacs haven’t faced Burnaby since early on in the season, though Doddridge is mindful of the fact that the last-place Lakers recently upended the first-place New West Salmonbellies 10-4. The A’s have dropped all three games against New West this year. “We haven’t seen them in a while, but they’re playing a lot better. Their record

doesn’t indicate what type of team they are,” Doddridge said. “That said, we’re excited about the next couple weeks and hopefully we solidify a playoff spot. If we take care of business in the next two games, we’ve earned our spot. I don’t think there’s too many teams in the league saying they want to play Coquitlam [in the playoffs].” Saturday’s game goes at 7 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. The Tri City senior B Bandits also begin their post-season sojourn Friday in the club’s best-of-five series with Ladner. The Bandits are in search of their thirdstraight provincial title and fifth in six years, and go into the series as the second seed after finishing the regular season with a 13-2-0-1 record. Ladner, on the other hand, ended the year just two points back of the Bandits with a 12-3-1-0 showing. “They’ve got a really good team. They’ve added some WLA veterans out of Burnaby, they’ve got good goaltending. It’s going to be a battle,” said Bandits coach Rick Mang. “Our biggest thing is we just have to be disciplined. We have to stay out of the box and not get into the rough stuff, although we’re quite prepared if it goes that route.” Game 1 goes at 8 p.m. Friday at the PoCo Rec Centre.

Junior A’s are headed back to nationals John Kurucz sports@thenownews.com Coquitlam’s junior A’s are once again in familiar territory. The A’s dusted off Whalley 8-3 in the back half of a two-game set Wednesday to capture B.C. baseball supremacy in the 13/14 age grouping. The victory came one night after Whalley doubled up the A’s 2-1. “The boys were really relaxed on Wednesday, to the point that it was pretty surprising. But they approached the game the right way and got the job done,” said A’s coach Wes Taylor. Wednesday’s win represents the club’s third straight B.C. crown and locks up Coquitlam’s spot in the Canadian championships set for the first week of August. Up 1-0 heading into the fourth inning, the A’s broke the contest open with four runs. Kevin Heidema and Brandon Becking both tallied a pair of RBIs in the fourth before Whalley responded with two in the fifth to move the score to 5-2. The A’s poured it on in the seventh again, as Curtis Taylor and Becking each chipped in an RBI, while Alex Hunt cashed in two. Though Whalley would get one more in the seventh, Heidema began the game-ending play with a seeing-eye toss from the outfield, one that was relayed to home plate in time to nab Whalley’s last out. Starting pitcher Johnathan Keltie shone in his five-and-two-thirds worth of work, striking out a pair and allowing two runs, before handing the ball over to closer Austin MacDonald. Tuesday’s opener was a defensive stalemate

for the most part, as neither team was able to score until the fifth, when Coquitlam’s Javeed Khankashi’s RBI brought Cameron Williams across the plate to give the A’s the 1-0 lead. Whalley, however, would answer back with a run in both the seventh and eighth innings to steal the win. “Our pitcher Mitchell Anderson was great in that game, and he kept it scoreless through five,” Taylor said. “Once Brandon [Becking] came in, Whalley just kept chipping away and we couldn’t do anything in the bottom of the seventh. They shut us down in the eighth.” Coquitlam’s championship win mirrors the way the club got it done last year as well. Faced with a double knockout scenario, the A’s dropped their first contest against White Rock before rebounding for a Game 2 win and the B.C. pennant. According to Taylor, the lessons from that journey were applied to this year’s. “I said to the boys, ‘We’ve been here before, we’ve done this before. Let’s go out and do it again,’” he said. “They stayed the course and that experience paid off.” The A’s now advance to next month’s Canadian championships in Lethbridge. Coquitlam’s major A’s side saw their season come to an end last Sunday after a 5-0 loss to Whalley in the district finals. The squad of 11-and-12 year olds got things started on the right foot by downing Langley 90 in the tournament opener, but then dropped their first of two contests against Whalley 11-0. From there, the majors lost Game 3 by a 14-1 count at the hands of White Rock, though the club bounced back with a 7-3 win over North Langley in the semis.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: Major shifts are occurring in your life, in career, status, relationships and in yourself. You’re ready to make a big leap for freedom, yet there’s nowhere to land except in the area of duty, restriction and slow effort. Mufﬂed anger might exist in a relationship. Best approach: use that urge toward freedom to seek philosophical learning or more education, or to expand socially and/or internationally. View all relationships and prospects not as escape, but as ambition’s ground. E.g., form a career partnership. Be prepared to change, go slow and exercise diplomacy. August accents negotiations.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Cancer June 21-July 22: A gigantic shift peaks this summer (it began in 2008, lasts ultimately to 2024) in your relationships, career and home. You should see plenty of evidence of these forces of change this week and next. My advice is simple: be ﬂexible, willing, eager to join forces, diplomatic, honest and loving. Then what can go permanently wrong? Nothing. You might have to deal with: A stubborn yet persuasive partner (or an almost too-alluring person!). Mufﬂed anger in the home. A possible break-up. Unpredictable, yet unexpectedly lucky situations in your career, prestige realms or business.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Major changes began about two years ago, intensiﬁed the last few months, and peak this week and next. (With variations through the years ahead.) The present peak brings in new elements, people and situations. Expect stresses/ changes in home, security, property, all relationships, contracts, litigation, partnerships, relocation prospects and in yourself. You are now determined to enter a relationship only if it grants you security. This can cause a “muddying” effect. Amazing, bright, friendly, lucky, unexpected (and perhaps short-lived) relationships will arise – for seven years!

Taurus April 20-May 20: A major change is already underway. (It started last spring, but peaks now and lasts into 2011.) It affects your work, duty and intellectual spheres. These include such things as cultural events, love, international travel, publishing, higher learning, health, machinery/tools, employment/ employees, government, institutional, administrative, spiritual and charity areas. Your life will never be the same! But these are not painful nor “crisis” changes – you’ll do ﬁne! My best advice: turn a challenge into success, but don’t get caught in an unﬁxable situation/project. August holds a major task.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: This summer’s massive changes and stresses don’t hit you as directly as some, Leo. But the slow changes that has been building for two years peak this week and next in your work, health, machinery-related, communications, legal, educational, travelling, cultural, love, philosophical and intellectual spheres. (DON’T drive recklessly!) A letter could reveal a lawsuit, or an email could light your heart with love. Job changes might occur – but the more obvious changes are in intellectual, friendship and travel zones. Old methods will be abandoned; new ones will form (slowly, in some cases).

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious. Many stresses and changes exist around you, but they affect others more directly; they could even create openings and opportunities for you to move forward. (Money-wise Sunday/Monday, socially Thursday.) These undergo ﬂux: work, employment, machinery, duties toward children, management, corporate and government“organizationcharts,”institutions,spiritual and charitable interests. All these changes turn on the fulcrum of (or affect) your ability to communicate or travel. (E.g., changes “on high” might change who you communicate with, the style of report.)

Gemini May 21-June 20: It started in late 2008, intensified this spring, and peaks all summer: a series of major shifts in your sexual, financial, investment, health, romantic, creative, sports, speculation, childoriented and social spheres. Never again will these be the same – improvement’s slated! You might begin a deeply intimate relationship with someone quite conservative or of a different generation. You might completely switch your financial structure. A new creativity can be sparked, but it is a slow, deep one, no overnight successes here. Be close to Aries and Libra friends; they might need you.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Big ﬁnancial, lifestyle and/ or sexual changes are imminent. They won’t surprise, as life has “telegraphed” them to you for almost two years (and some have already occurred). View these changes as a varying landscape on a road that is primarily successful, creative, loving and fruitful. Still, challenges exist. A new, restrictive note quietly creeps into your earnings outlook for two years, so be conservative in spending. You might invest in your earnings sphere – e.g., buy equipment. Go slow. Investments are both unpredictable and lucky – sex, too! Surprising revelations come here and there!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Big changes occur this summer in three areas of your life: the romantic, creative, pleasure and child-oriented sphere, the social, entertainment and “future dreams” area, and in your earnings/possessions zone. Generally, your social drives, optimism and love of fun will “rule,” whereas money necessities “out-power” your romantic and creative drives. You’re lucky predawn Monday, and you clearly see money/domestic matters late Thursday. You might need to ﬁgure out some ethical, friendship or love matter Sunday/ Monday. A month of travel, culture, love and learning lies ahead!

Browse our Garage Sale section to ﬁnd deals near you.

July 25 - 31 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You’re in the power seat, but that doesn’t mean things will be easy. This week and next are the peak of a long change. This change has different levels – some are deep, inner, sexual, psychological, investment-oriented, and can change your whole lifestyle. Other changes occur in career, ambition and prestige dealings. You might break from a former career, association, or direction, and assume a new one. Realize a higher-up might be repressing anger. A potentially very lucky change arrives in your domestic sphere: now, soon, or February to June 2011. Treat aches, pains seriously. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships come front and centre through the weeks ahead.Your sensual side has been very “awake” recently, but now the accent shifts to meaning, love, morals, communication, travel and mental links. You love these things, breezy mental interplay, ideals, meanings. This summer forces you, probably through a relationship, to rediscover and rebuild your morals and ideals, perhaps against a background of secret desires or fears. E.g., an attraction could make you question your loyalty. Or old “fibs” return to play the music you have to face. But this week proves you’re lucky, too! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Lie low, rest Sunday to Tuesday. Your energy surges Wednesday/Thursday. Focus on money, earnings and spending Friday/ Saturday. The weeks ahead emphasize work, health, dependents and machinery. A “prime” change brews in your health, sexual and financial spheres. (Financial: the price of groceries to your paycheque to investments/debt.) The change is deep and seminal – it starts a new future. These areas will definitely impact your plans for your future – and your plans will affect them. Expect luck, struggle, obstacles and opportunity. A relationship grows “talkative.” timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
