New details released about Pickton Lori Culbert The Vancouver Sun Editor’s note: Crown prosecutors officially stayed the remaining 20 murder charges against serial killer Robert Pickton earlier this week, and the judge in the case has lifted most of the publication bans, which means new details are being made public for the first time. This story contains graphic content that some readers may find disturbing.

he jurors at Robert (Willie) Pickton’s trial never heard the testimony of a sex-trade worker who alleged the accused took her to his Port Coquitlam farm for sex, slapped handcuffs on one wrist and stabbed her nearly to death. “I was fighting him, I was, like, going backwards so I could get to this knife,” the woman testified in 2003 at Pickton’s preliminary hearing. “I was begging him to let me go, telling him I had a family. “And then I leaped at him, I slit his throat … I remember him grabbing a rag and going, ‘You f---ing bitch, you got me good,’ and he put the rag on his neck. And then he had a big long stick and I remember just picking up plants, everything I could get a hold of and throwing it at him.” During that violent struggle in March 1997, the woman said she slashed Pickton’s jugular vein and was able to escape, flagging down a passing car for help. She had lost three litres of blood and had no pulse when she arrived at Royal Columbian Hospital with stab wounds to the upper chest, abdomen, hands and arms. The woman, who was then 30, remained unconscious in hospital for four days. Pickton, who also lost three litres of blood that evening, drove himself to Eagle Ridge Hospital, and was then transferred to Royal Columbian. The two stabbing victims were in separate operating rooms when a handcuff key was found in the pocket of Pickton’s pants. It was taken to the woman’s room and used to unlock the cuffs dangling from her wrist. Pickton was charged with attempted murder, assault with a weapon and forcible confinement following the incident, but the charges were eventually stayed because the Crown considered the woman too unstable to testify in court at the time. The stabbing that occurred 13 years ago predates the disappearance of all six women Pickton was convicted of murdering at his 2007 trial — and also predates the disappearance of 15 of the other 20 women he was accused of murdering. However, the jurors were not allowed to hear the woman’s story because the judge, B.C. Supreme Court Justice James Williams, ruled in

The scene at the New Westminster courthouse on the opening day of William Pickton’s murder trial in 2007. With the lifting of a publication ban this week, the story of a woman who testified at Pickton’s preliminary hearing that Pickton nearly stabbed her to death at his Port Coquitlam farm can finally be told. late September 2006 — just months before Pickton’s trial was to begin — that it was merely speculation that Pickton planned to murder and dismember her in the same fashion as the other women. It was a huge victory for the defence, because the knife-fight survivor was the only Crown witness prepared to testify at Pickton’s trial that she had been brutally attacked by the accused, but lived to tell about it. Another startling revelation in the woman’s story is that while Pickton was being treated in the same hospital that night, police seized his jacket, sweatshirt, T-shirt, jeans, underwear, socks and rubber boots. They were put in a storage locker and forgotten for several years until after his 2002 arrest in the missing women case.

hen Pickton’s clothes were tested in the RCMP forensics lab in 2004, a gruesome discovery was made — the DNA from Andrea Borhaven was on Pickton’s rubber boots and DNA matching Cara Ellis was on his nylon jacket. Both women vanished from the Downtown Eastside in early 1997, just before the knife attack on the woman. During the long search of Pickton’s pig farm, police found an earring bearing Borhaven’s DNA under the floor boards of his trailer; they also discovered several items linked to Ellis, such as her prayer card on a shelf in his

slaughterhouse and her DNA on plastic sheet liners in a freezer. Pickton would later be charged with their murders, and they are among the 20 murder charges that have now been stayed. However, the shocking revelation about the clothes was also kept a secret from the 12 jurors because it pertained to two of the 20 women who were not subject to the first trial. During pretrial arguments, the Crown and defence agreed that Pickton and the woman stabbed each other severely on March 22, 1997, but they disagreed on who started the fight and why. And, therefore, also took opposite positions on whether the woman should be allowed to testify at Pickton’s trial. Crown attorney Michael Petrie argued that the woman’s evidence was necessary because it helped prove who killed the six victims at the centre of the trial who, like the knife-attack survivor, were all drug-addicted sex-trade workers with a link to Pickton’s farm. “The biggest significant difference” between the woman and the others, Petrie argued before the judge, is that she survived to testify and the others did not. None of the 98 witnesses called by the Crown testified that they had been attacked by Pickton, and some insisted he was not violent at all. Petrie wanted to use the woman’s evidence, as well, to support the testimony of a key Crown witness, Andrew Bellwood, who told the jury that

Pickton once confessed to handcuffing women before killing them. The Crown also argued the woman’s story pertained to one of the six women on the indictment — Brenda Wolfe — whose DNA was found on a handcuff key ring in a loft in one of Pickton’s outbuildings. However, defence lawyer Peter Ritchie maintained that the survivor, who he noted had a severe substance abuse problem and a criminal record that spanned two decades, attacked Pickton that night during a drug binge. Pickton, his lawyers argued, was just trying to control the woman when he put a handcuff on her wrist and tried unsuccessfully to attach it to something in his trailer. Ritchie also told the judge that Pickton could have defended himself in a separate trial over the 1997 allegation, but it had been stayed and it wasn’t fair to now lump it into the missing women “mega-trial.” Paraphrasing Shakespeare, Ritchie told Williams that allowing the woman’s testimony at Pickton’s trial would be so unfair it would be tantamount to dropping poison into the jurors’ ears. In a written ruling following the heated pretrial arguments, Williams sided with the defence, deciding the knife-attack incident could not be considered similar to what happened to the other women because there was no proof she was to be killed and dismembered following the attack.

All they’re doing is selling lemonade and some homemade doggy treats. Who’s that going to kill?” she asked. “Since when do you need to have a business licence when you have a little lemonade stand on the corner?

He’s sitting there all day working hard and taking care of his business, and he’s doing a really good job,” she said. “My point is, in Port Coquitlam, they’ve all just given themselves a bunch of raises.

The service is scheduled to run from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Red Robinson Show Theatre, located at 2080 United Blvd. in Coquitlam. Wingrove’s family is asking for donations to the Coquitlam Foundation and the Coquitlam Animal Shelter in lieu of flowers. “The animal shelter fell under his remit here in the city, and he had a lot of regular and personal interactions with the people and the staff there and the people in the community who cared about the animal shelter,” Trevor’s brother Craig told The NOW Wednesday. “It all started under Trevor’s guidance, and he felt passionately about it.” Wingrove died of cancer on July 29. He was 42.

Almost 800 tickets and warnings issued to high-risk drivers last month jmcfee@thenownews.com Coquitlam RCMP issued nearly 800 tickets and warnings to high-risk drivers throughout July, according to a press release. The RCMP’s traffic services section has been working with ICBC to target four main risky behaviours: not using seatbelts, unsafe driving in intersections, speeding, and driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol. Through enforcement projects like roadblocks and strategic patrols, police issued 396 tickets for speeding, 83 for unsafe driving in intersec-

tions, 82 for not wearing seatbelts and 22 for impaired driving, plus 141 other tickets. Police also issued 104 related warnings. As well, they handed out 24-hour suspensions to 46 drivers for alcohol and to four drivers for drugs. A total of 26.5 grams of marijuana was seized from seven drivers, and two drivers were caught driving while prohibited. “We certainly feel we’ve done a great job at the end of a shift where we’ve taken drunk drivers off the road,” Sgt. Dave Stewart said. “But the real satisfaction comes when our stats show an increase in impaired driving charges because we know

Find another location for off-leash park

Re: “Three options for new dog park,” Wednesday, July 14. One of the three proposals for an off-leash dog area in the Town Centre area is the trail along the west side of the Coquitlam River, which is a part of the nationwide Trans-Canada Trail system. The plan for this trail system is to build the longest shared-use trail system in the world from Newfoundland to B.C., linking communities, parks and wilderness areas. I believe that this reason alone should be enough to prevent the use of that section of the trail from being used as an off-leash dog area, but it is not the only reason. I have absolutely no issue with sharing the trail with dogs that are responsibly kept on their leash by their owners, but responsible owners are a rarity. I have witnessed dog owners arguing among themselves because one owner’s unleashed dog attacked another dog that was on its leash. I have seen a child lose control of his bike and ride into the bushes because

he was trying to get away from a dog chasing him. I have been or almost been tripped up, chased, jumped on, threatened and attacked countless times by unleashed dogs along that trail. It is not uncommon for me to encounter between 10 and 19 dogs along just that section of the trail during a single run and, of that number, there might be only two to four of them that are To The actually on a leash. As I pass by an unleashed dog, I don’t want it stopping in front of me so it can “check me out.” I don’t want dogs jumping up on me even if, as their owners say, they are just being friendly. I don’t want dogs to decide to saunter over to the other side of the trail in front of me just as I am in mid-stride and I don’t want to have to go through an obstacle course of a group of unleashed dogs (and their owners) wandering together on the trail.

I sometimes point out to the owner that legally their dog is supposed to be on a leash. Some of the responses I have heard are “He is just being friendly,” “Tell that to 95 per cent of the other dog owners,” “I break the law every day going into work on the Barnet so why should I obey this one?” and “I pay my taxes so I have a right to be here.” What can you say to people whose Editor thought processes somehow make them think they have the right to break the law and that they don’t need to show any courtesy to other trail users? Dog owners who do not have their dog on a leash also seem to lose track of what their dog is doing along the trail. I have witnessed on many occasions dogs that are trailing behind their owners squatting down and defecating on the trail and the owners are totally oblivious because they are not even looking at their dogs.

When a business venture turns sour

t’s understandable that the families of the two boys selling lemonade in PoCo’s Shaughnessy Park — whose stand was shut down by bylaw officers earlier this week — are upset. We can also see why some patrons are upset, since the opportunity to grab a lemonade and some homemade dog treats sounds like a great option for park goers. But the bylaw officers who responded to a complaint about the stand were just doing their job, and probably feel bad about having to crack down on a couple of 12 year olds. A lot of people might say the real problem in this case is the curmudgeon who called in a complaint, forcing bylaw officers to investigate. We’d have to agree. There’s no easy answer to this one, but it’s sad that two enterprising children have been told to stop being enterprising. Seems the business world isn’t easy, even for kids.

We had a lot of snow the winter of 2008-09. Originally it made that section of the trail very beautiful with the freshly fallen snow, but within days it became apparent just how irresponsible a lot of dog owners were about cleaning up after their dogs because the snow made it more obvious that dog feces were absolutely everywhere on the trail and it became almost impossible to avoid stepping on it and spreading it even further. What an absolute mess, and I don’t believe this is good for the river that the trail runs alongside of either. The river trail might be the cheapest option on paper but would be the hardest to monitor. Let’s choose a fenced area for the dogs to run around. We need to keep that trail available for all users at all times but dog owners, please be more courteous to fellow trail users and keep your dog on a leash. Mary Mullany Coquitlam

Parliament needs to reform copyright laws C

opyright reform: It’s only fair to those who own the work that people like me produce. Today’s online environment, where piracy is virtually unchecked, is neither fair nor reasonable. We need copyright reform to change this. Pirate websites like IsoHunt, hosted right here in Canada, operate as a bridge to those who want to download music for free. Such websites offer content that costs nothing to them but has value to consumers, drawing traffic so they can sell online advertising. The result is predictable and devastating. As illegal downloads of music have soared, sales Loreena have dropped. In addition to the composers, lyricists and designers who provide true creative content, there is a vast and complex ecosystem of expertise (such as studio engineers, technicians, musicians, printers, administrative staff and record store employees, etc.) that has been profoundly affected by large-scale theft and distribution of copyrighted material over the Internet. The impact filters directly to communities large and small like Stratford, Ont., where I live. The creative community is working hard to turn its fortunes around, for instance by offering new

ways for consumers to enjoy our work online. But making the necessary investments is impossible when piracy means the investments may never be recouped. Years of training, hard work and past investment by individuals, businesses and government can be rendered valueless because copyright laws have not been enforced. Some people suggest that artists can make up their losses by touring all the time or hawking T-shirts. But this is viable only in a few specific instances and creates huge challenges for those with famMcKennitt ily obligations. Even now, parts of the touring industry are also starting to see their business erode. As a result, many venues, promoters, local crews and even popcorn sellers are all struggling to stay alive. From activists and academics we hear a lot about so-called “user rights.” It is my view that this is crafted language. When folks buy a CD (or a legitimate download) they are actually buying a licence to listen. They don’t own the rights to the song. Many things the public wishes to do with what they purchase can all be accomplished within the framework

of permissions and limited copying for personal use. In my small business we grant permissions for educational, charitable and other uses on a regular basis. Another misconception is equating fame with riches. Yes, the Internet has brought recognition to some but keep in mind that the same technology that has helped to make a few artists famous has also made many unable to earn a living, especially in the long run. Better protection of our intellectual property rights will help to change this. We can once again have a thriving creative environment where artists are paid and the communities where they live and work reap the rewards. That is why I welcome copyright reform legislation. And it is why I am counting on Parliamentarians to ensure the measures we need are passed into law. It is only fair.

Your View Government’s foray into online gambling NOW POLL isn’t paying off for B.C. taxpayers

overnments love “sin” taxes. They fill up the coffers while creating the illusion that government is the high-minded protector of society’s moral well-being. But should government be running “sin” businesses? If the performance of the BC Lottery Corp. (BCLC) is any indication, the answer is no — it creates far too much risk for players and taxpayers. The B.C. government made the province the first jurisdiction in North America to legalize online gambling. Government says people in B.C. spend $100 million per year at illegal offshore gambling sites and it wants in on the revenue from “sin.” The government assures us it’s the right move because the expected cash injection will go to education and healthcare. But the B.C. government’s expansion into online gambling is a move in the wrong direction. If government wants a piece of the action, it should set the rules of the game and let the private sector take the risk. On the day the new online gambling site opened, the CEO of the government’s gambling monopoly, the BCLC, said, “a safe, secure and

$1 billion covers BCLC’s costs. If the government can generate a pile of cash on tobacco sales without a BC Tobacco Corp., it could probably also win big without a BC Lottery Corp. And you can bet the government would be a lot more careful about regulating private companies than it is about regulating itself. The government isn’t in the tobacco business and it shouldn’t be in the gambling business either. Government dens of iniquity are not safer or more secure for gamblers and create huge risks for taxpayers. Government can still get a piece of the gambling action by setting the rules of the game and taxing private gambling businesses. Let’s leave the games of chance to those playing with their own money. • Maureen Bader is B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Mayor declines to comment  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

St. Johns St. Thies’s Coquitlam-based lawyer, Chris Bacon, said his client is seeking a payment of $85,000 for the business, or to get her previous lease reinstated. When contacted Thursday about the matter, Trasolini declined comment. “My private business is not public,” the mayor said. Uchida could not be reached for comment, and Ludwig declined to comment, deferring her response to lawyer Jeff Wittmann. “We’ve been recently retained,” Wittmann said. “The allegations made by the petitioner are unproven. We’ll be filing our response shortly and it’s inappropriate to comment as the matter is now before the courts.” Thies said she first moved into the St. Johns Street property in 1999, and the petition states the last lease agreement signed between Prism Dance and Pug Investments was for a threeyear term beginning on May 12, 2008. Bacon said the legal proceedings were triggered by the end of Thies’s 21-year marriage in late 2008. Faced with the financial implications of a divorce and wanting to pursue dance instructor opportunities abroad, Thies said she decided to sell the studio. The petition states that Thies began receiving letters from Pug Investments demanding payment for rent in both March and April of last year, though both of those payments were eventually made. It also states that Thies received an offer to purchase Prism Dance on June 10, 2009 for $55,000, though seven days later, she received an offer from C.A.P.A. to buy the dance centre for $85,000. During this time, the petition states, Pug Investments sent Prism Dance another letter asking for rent payments for June. In light of the money owing, Thies said she

had reached an agreement with Trasolini that would allow her to pay the outstanding debt — which she estimated to be about $3,500 — once she sold the business to C.A.P.A. Thies said she and Uchida reached a verbal agreement on the purchase price of $85,000, and she felt confident the transition would go seamlessly, given that Uchida was one of her former dance students. The petition states that Thies met with Trasolini, Uchida and Ludwig on June 30, 2009 to discuss the assignment of the lease, though Trasolini “insisted that Thies provide him with the key” to the building. That key, according to the petition, was then handed over to Uchida before the lease was forfeited, terminated or assigned. Another meeting was set for the next day, when the payment of $85,000 was scheduled to be made, and the lease was to be signed over to Uchida, Ludwig and C.A.P.A. However, on the morning of July 1, 2009, the petition states, an alarm company informed Thies that Prism Dance’s alarm had been triggered. Thies said she went to investigate, and found Trasolini at the dance centre alongside Uchida and Ludwig. Given her divorce proceedings — Thies said she had to be out of her former home the same day — she left and resumed moving, though some of her personal possessions were being stored in the basement of Prism Dance. The petition states that Thies went back to the dance centre at about 1 p.m. on July 1, 2009 to find that the locks had been changed. It also states that when Thies went back to Prism Dance at 5 p.m. that day — for a scheduled meeting to pick up the $85,000 and sign off on the lease — no one was there. “I didn’t have a toothbrush. I had to borrow a toothbrush, and I had to wear kids clothing  CONTINUED ON PAGE 9, see ‘THIS HAS BEEN.’

You & The Law ACCIDENT MUST “CAUSE” THE LOSS BTM LAWYERS LLP

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

LAWYERS & TRADEMARK AGENTS

For a wrongdoer to be liable for negligence, the negligent act must have caused your loss or injury. Sometimes that’s very clear. The defendant’s car rear-ends your vehicle and you suffer a neck injury as a result; it’s obvious that the defendant’s negligence caused your whiplash. Other times it’s less apparent. In many cases, there is more than one potential cause of the injury or damage. Two Supreme Court of Canada cases have tried to clarify this complicated area of law. In one, Ralph Hanke was badly burned when he mistakenly placed the water hose into the gas tank of the ice surfacing machine he was operating at an Edmonton ice rink. When hot water overﬁlled the gas tank, vapourized gas was released into the air, causing an explosion and ﬁre. Hanke sued the maker and distributor of the machine, claiming that the similar-looking water and gas tanks were placed close together and it was easy to confuse the two. The Supreme Court of Canada said that the main test of causation is the “but for” test. The plaintiff must show that the injury or loss would not have occurred “but for” the negligent act or omission of the defendant. The court added that this test is intended to ensure that a plaintiff will only receive compensation where a “substantial connection” exists between the defendant’s conduct and the injury. There will be no liability where the plaintiff’s loss or damage may be “due to other factors not connected to the defendant and not the fault of anyone.” The court ultimately sided with the trial judge. He had used a “but for” test of causation and decided that but for Hanke putting the water hose into the gas tank, the explosion would not have occurred. Hanke knew which tank was which, and his own unfortunate carelessness was responsible for his injuries, not design defects of the ice machine. The court dismissed Hanke’s lawsuit. In the second case, the Supreme Court of

ST. JOHNS ST.

Canada conﬁrmed that a defendant’s negligent act doesn’t have to be the only cause of a plaintiff’s loss or injury, so long as it’s a material contributing factor. Jon Athey was a 43-year old autobody repairman and bodyshop manager with a history of minor back problems. He was involved in two motor vehicle accidents two months apart that left him with a stiff back and neck. Some months later, he went to a gym on his doctor’s advice, where he injured his lower back during warmup exercises. He had to be hospitalized for three weeks for disc herniation surgery. While he recovered reasonably well, he couldn’t return to his former job, and had to get another less physically demanding position. At trial, the BC Supreme Court found that the two accidents only played a minor role in causing the disc herniation, and it ﬁxed the causation factor at 25% – reducing Athey’s compensation to 25% of what he would otherwise receive. But the Supreme Court of Canada disagreed: a defendant’s wrongful act doesn’t have to be the sole cause of the injury for that defendant to be fully liable. In this case, there was one indivisible injury – the disc herniation. Any defendant who negligently caused or contributed to it was fully liable. The accidents were a “necessary ingredient” in bringing about Athey’s disc herniation, and he recovered the full $221,516 of his damages. If you suffer loss, damage or injury as a result of another party’s wrongful or negligent act, you may wish to consult your lawyer.

Port Coquitlam’s Rotary club awards $4,000 in bursaries

ort Coquitlam’s Centennial Rotary Club doled out $4,000 worth of bursaries to local Grade 12 students looking to take their education to the next level. Jo Ann Khoo was the Riverside Secondary recipient, and she garnered the bursary on the weight of her involvement in the school’s French immersion, science co-op and global awareness groups. Khoo plans to attend Simon Fraser University (SFU) in September. Twin brothers Jordan and Kyle Wallis received the Terry Fox Secondary bursaries based, in part, on their participation in three straight World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland. Kyle took home first place in the under-18 Highland snare drumming category in 2008, and was awarded the district gold medal in public speaking during his final semester, for a speech on the atrocities in Congo. Jordan, on the other hand, took gold in wakeboarding at the 2006 BC Summer Games. The brothers plan to attend Douglas College and SFU in the fall. Stephanie Toth received the Rotary bursary for Archbishop Carney Regional Secondary based on her “extraordinary commitment to social issues.” Toth has worked at a soup kitchen on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, helped co-ordinate blanket and coat drives for homeless people in Port Coquitlam and helped organize Carney’s Thinkfast 30-hour famine to raise money for the less fortunate. She plans to enrol in the stewardship program at Capilano University. The goal of the Rotary bursary program is to support the post-secondary education of Port Coquitlam students who have overcome challenges and have a strong track record of

community involvement. Each year, $1,000 is awarded to a student from each of the area’s high schools based on their submission of a 500-word essay and letters of reference.

Local travels to Harvard

Port Moody resident Madison Swain recently took part in a student-led conference at Harvard University that focused on leadership development, global awareness and life in the post-secondary ranks. The People to People Leadership Summit took place from July 11 to 17 in Boston, Mass., and featured students from across North America engaging in workshops, roundtable discussions and presentations on, among other things, the process of getting accepted into post-secondary institutions. Swain was invited to the conference based on her “outstanding scholastic merit, civic involvement and leadership potential.”

Coquitlam Foundation adds new members to its board

The Coquitlam Foundation recently added two new members to its board of directors. Retired School District 43 principal Ron Grender will join Pasta Polo restaurateur Fred Soofi on the board. The two new additions filled spots vacated by Gerri Wallis and Richard Rainey. The board also consists of chair Colleen Talbot, secretary Julie Fisher, treasurer Bob Tanaka and directors Sam Nakai, Terry O’Neill, Ron Roberge, Diane Sowden, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, Janet Toddington and Wim Vander Zalm.

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

It wasn’t quite what I had imagined when embarking on our quintessential Canadian adventure but if there’s one thing to learn in the outback, it’s to stay dry. Although my companion and I could have chosen a resort-styled eco-adventure, they seemed tame in comparison to pursuing our inner pioneer.

Urban critters may be eating the plants in your garden “Something eats the flowers, buds and leaves in my garden. I have lots of slug visitors but I control them with slug bait. Whatever eats my plants can climb up tall flowers, climbing roses and even eats the nasturtium leaves on my balcony. I have lots of little ants and grey critters which roll into a ball when they feel threatened. Do any of these eat plants?” Heidi via e-mail Ants, sow bugs and pill bugs don’t eat the top part of plants. You may have several different pests eating different parts of your flowers. Perhaps your slugs aren’t controlled as much as you think. Snails do similar damage and climb very high at times. Urban areas now include raccoons, skunks, rats, squirrels and coyotes. Squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks all nibble on plants if they need moisture. I saw a squirrel just last week chewing on my Christmas cactus. Deer sometimes invade suburban gardens and mature ones can reach at least six feet (two metres) high. They love munching on roses. About your nasturtiums: if the damage is

‘The call of the wolves is as distant as the stars’  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

Trudeau for that matter — immortalized in buckskins and coonskin fur hats. Besides, the process of pitching a tent, building a fire and listening to the loons call you to sleep can be one of the most romantic, enriching and family-bonding experiences available. So it was with intrepid heart that I ditched the stilettos and joined my outdoorsy partner for a week in the northwestern Ontario wilderness. First off was to hook up with Canoe Canada, a knowledgeable outfitter that custom-tailors packages to ability, preference and budget — whether it’s a three-day excursion downriver (ideal for novices) or flying to a wilderness cabin and paddling your way back to civilization. We chose the latter, and as the float plane left us at a cabin at some indistinct pinpoint in the Atikokan region, the raw stillness of our decision was palpable. Surrounded by a tangled network of bassfilled waters, woodlands and marshy meadows cut with moose trails, our mission was to navigate these routes for some 85 miles (137 kilometres) to another indistinct pinpoint on the map. In the Ojibwa language, Atikokan means “cariboo bones,” and as I looked out across the three-mile (five-kilometre) lake, the start of our paddling journey, I mused as to whose bones they might find at the end of the trip. We were well equipped. The canoe was fully stocked with a tent and tarpaulins, pots and scouring pads, and more than enough food packs, chocolate bars and treats to survive our itinerary. With an eye on a couple of portages, our personal gear was minimal, and with the prospect of catching lake trout and walleye en route, we left half our supplies behind. Travelling at the speed of your oar, route maps are easy to follow and paddling becomes

intuitive after a few hours. Most of the recommended campsites are on rocky outcrops or islands the size of a postage stamp, so bears aren’t an issue. And the call of wolves is as distant as the stars. Seeing another person is such a rarity that when the soft drone of a bush pilot criss-crosses the area, there’s an imagined assurance that periodically, at least, someone is “up there” checking up on your progress. Priorities shift in the wilderness. Rising at daybreak is rewarded with soft, easy waters and the energy of nature awakening — the memory of which still quiets my soul. The allimportant morning latte is traded for the art of simply boiling water. Kitschy salads give way to pan-fried, just-caught smallmouth bass that not only trumps trout in taste but is mouthwateringly delicious after a day of paddling. And standing buck-naked on a rock to wash is welcome relief from clothes that cling to your body through the sheer exertion of digging deep against windblown waters. Whoever said, “To paddle 100 miles in a canoe, you are a child of nature” got it right. Yes, there were times when the winds ambushed the waves, whipping up whitecaps into such a frenzy that every arm-aching reach into the water was tenacity personified. Mostly, though, the majesty of this inaccessible landscape left us so awestruck our paddles froze in mid-stroke — drifting down reed-edged, crystal clear rivers, crossing pools laden with lilies, inhaling the sweet scent of fallen pine needles baking in the sun or becoming one with the silent flight of a bald eagle as it cast its long shadow across the granite bluff. Such are the bragging rights of adventurous spirits and the rewards of discovering a part of Canada that still resonates with such raw beauty it will forever inspire the heart of your inner pioneer.

If you go:

• To get there, fly with Air Canada to Thunder Bay before overnighting at the Valhalla Inn (1-800-964-1121), which is close to the airport. Take a Prestige Limousine taxi (877-801-5466) to Canoe Canada’s base in Atikoken (1-807-597-6418). Car rentals work out to be a pricier option. • Use the following tips for a hassle-free journey: ask for a GPS to back up map reading; take a fishing rod, since catching supper is easy even for neophyte anglers; travel only with essentials (biodegradable soap, a change of clothes and dry socks); ask for two sets of maps and store them separately. Cellphones are generally inoperative, although some outfitters provide emergency-use satellite phones.

. g n i c n a D s ’ e Everyon

Welcome to the Tri-Cities In June, I moved to the Lower Mainland to accept the position of CEO with SHARE Family & Community Services. Before I accepted this new role, I researched SHARE and the Tri Cities area. Here are a few things that I noticed: • The hills are a bigger and the waters are deeper than what I am used to seeing. Really.

Teaching the Tri-Cities since 2004

• People are genuinely, generously friendly. I have been welcomed to BC by complete strangers…but they don’t feel like strangers, they feel like ambassadors.

! d e t i v n I e r ’ You

• SHARE is a very well-respected organization in our region.

This could be your year... the year you learn to dance and join thousands who dance for fun and ﬁtness

This reputation has been earned by decades of hard work and leadership from volunteers, staff members and the many partners who have worked with us to bring strength to children, families and communities.

Blueberry pancake breakfast on Sunday The Coquitlam Farmers Market will host its sixth-annual Blueberry Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, Aug. 8. The Maillardville Lions will flip the pancakes, using berries supplied by Hansra Farm, and kids of all ages are invited to take part in blueberry-themed games and activities and try to win a jar of blueberries during a blueberry count. Tri-Cities resident Kylie Shorter will make her performance debut at the market with an upbeat folk sound, and representatives of the City of Coquitlam’s “bad seed” and water conservation programs will be in the community booth

with information on non-invasive plants for gardens and way to conserve water during hot summer days. Representatives from the Canadian Cancer Society will also be on hand with information on health and wellness and fundraisers. The market is set to run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Dogwood Pavilion, at 624 Poirier St. Can’t make it to this Sunday’s event? The Coquitlam Farmers Market also hosts a series of mini-markets during August, as part of the Friday Night Concert Series at Spirit Square (3005 Burlington Dr., across from City Hall).

The mini-markets run from 6 to 8 p.m., and feature surveys for visitors to fill out in exchange for a free bag of kettlecorn. The concerts are hosted by the City of Coquitlam, which encourages visitors to bring a chair and a picnic dinner to the event. Here are the performers for the remainder of August: • Aug. 13 — David “Boxcar” Gates (Corbin V. opening); • Aug. 20 — Free City Collective (The Knots opening); and • Aug. 27 — Al Foreman (Spencer Perry opening).

New Mustang V6 ‘an impressive feat of engineering’ erating 412-hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, compared to the 315-hp and 325 lb-ft of torque of last year’s 4.6L engine. It’s also more efficient than its predecessor, and both engines share six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. If you like acceleration, the V8 is a better choice. The V6 struggles through the 3000 to 4000 rpm range, then surges when it hits maximum horsepower at 6,500. There is, however, a ton of torque at the low end. With a large turning radius, the Mustang requires wide berths in the parking lot. On the road, the steering is sharp and accurate, providing excellent control and great confidence, but understeer is detectable in turns. The 2010 updates included adjustments to the springs, shock absorbers and stabilizers, greatly improving ride quality and stability.

You feel the bumps on rough roads, but the ride is rarely harsh or tiring.

Environment

For pure style the convertible is the best choice, looking great whether the top is up or folded neatly behind the rear seats. If you want a year-round car with an open-air feel, the coupe’s optional glass roof is an absolute necessity. The fivemm-thick, laminated glass panel is particularly nice for backseat passengers, who won’t feel as cramped with an open sky above them, and comes with a retractable sunshade. Controls are generally sensible, but it would be nice if Ford  CONTINUED ON PAGE 26, see CAR STILL.

This new V6 may be too powerful for its own good. David Chao editorial@thenownews.com

et’s talk about the V6-powered 2011 Ford Mustang — specifically, the one that recently completed 1,457 laps at Bristol Motor Speedway (1,250 km) on a single tank of gas. Ford accomplished this as part of the Mustang 1000 Lap Challenge (www.mustang1000lapchallenge.com), seeking to prove that the new 3.7L V6 qualifies the 2011 Mustang as a fuelefficient sports car. There’s no doubt that the new V6 — which produces 70 per cent more horsepower than last year’s 4.0L block with lower fuel consumption — is an impressive feat of engineering, and Ford should be commended for it. But the 1000 Lap Challenge was a marketing move of questionable value, because it doesn’t reflect the Mustang’s actual performance. Rounding the track at an average speed of 70 km/h, Challenge drivers encouraged fuel efficiency by “minimizing the use of air conditioning, steady and consistent driving, avoiding sudden stops/starts and by keeping the RPMs low.” That’s great in controlled track conditions, but it’s setting owners up for disappointment when they take the car into the real world, due simply to the demands of daily driving. The slightest acceleration will send the economy gauge skyward, and stop-and-go traffic neutralizes any savings from highway mileage. So while a 2011 Mustang V6 is technically more efficient than the 2010 version, it feels like you have to put in far more effort and restraint when driving to make that happen. But the new V6 is powerful, maybe too powerful for its own good. The beauty of the old V6, with its 210-hp and 240 lb-ft of torque, was that it was big and easygoing. With reasonable horsepower and plenty of torque it was a very relaxed and smooth engine, and the right choice for those prizing Mustang style over pure speed. In contrast, the new V6 feels like it’s trying too hard to use its 305-hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. It’s not interested in cruising, but it doesn’t have the acceleration of the V8-powered Mustang GT (which also gains a new engine for 2011). It’s somewhere in-between, and maybe that’s OK, maybe not. You’ll need to drive one yourself to make that judgment. This being said, the Mustang remains a great value and an excellent car. It’s a bit unfortunate that the recent changes — the drivetrains this year and the revised exterior styling last year — have been done to remain competitive with the returning Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, because the Mustang was already far better than either of its newer competitors.

Design

Whereas the current Mustang looked clean and classic when it debuted, the mid-cycle refresh turned it into something that’s aggressive and overly muscular. It’s as if it pumped too much iron in the gym, going from sprinter to bodybuilder overnight. With a bulging hood and arched brow over the headlamps, the Mustang has a predatory look — especially when done up in the GT California Special Edition package, which adds a chrome billet-style grille and side air scoops behind the doors. The dashboard centres on two top-mounted rectangular vents set in a brushed aluminum panel that runs the width of the car and pinches in the middle. The esthetic is quite pleasing, but ergonomics could be improved by moving those vents and placing the controls higher up. Compared to newer Fords, the Mustang’s materials are beginning to feel a bit dated. That’s not a big surprise, as it’s one of the older vehicles in Ford’s portfolio and suffers in comparison to the materials in the fantastic Fusion and Taurus sedans.

Performance

In addition to the new V6, the Mustang gains a 5.0L V8 gen-

TRI-CITIES AUTOMOTIVE

GUIDE

Car still ‘one of the most interesting vehicles on the road’  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22.

could decide on a standard location for the three trip-computer buttons, which appear in a new and unusual spot in every different Ford vehicle. Some of the better additions to the 2011 model are the dual-view side mirrors that eliminate blind spots. They take some getting used to — and shouldn’t replace shoulder checks — but are very helpful. Storage is a mixed bag. The trunk is large and useful, with a wide cutout that will easily swallow a golf bag, but the coupe’s passthrough space behind the 50/50 split-folding seatback is small. Inside, the storage bin between the front seats is oddly shaped and troublesome to open, while the glove box and door pockets are very small.

Features

Starting at $23,399 for the coupe and $28,415 for the convertible, the 2011 Mustang is available in base, V6 Pony Package and GT trim levels, along with a variety of option packages. Standard equipment includes ABS, stability control, traction control, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, remote keyless entry, power-adjustable driver’s seat, tilt steering, fog lamps, four-speaker CD stereo, compass, tire-pressure monitoring system and front/side airbags. Other features found as options and on higher trim levels include dual-zone A/C, autodimming rearview mirror, navigation system, heated front seats, 10-speaker stereo with Ford Sync, Xenon headlamps and a rearview camera system.

MyColor adjustable backlighting, optional with the V6 and standard on the G6, enables the driver to change the colours of the gauges and various interior lights (including the “Mustang” text on the door sills). Fuel efficiency is rated at 10.7L/100km in the city and 6.4L/100km on the highway for the V6 coupe with automatic transmission, and 11.8L/100km and 7.8L/100km for the V8 with automatic.

Auto reviewer David Chao says the 2011 Mustang V6 beats both the Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger when it comes to day-to-day driving.

Thumbs up

Impressive power gains; sharp handling; excellent convertible and glass roofs.

Photo submitted

Thumbs down

Tough competition from Dodge and Chevy; cheap interior materials.

The bottom line

Still one of the most interesting vehicles on the road.

Competitors

Chevrolet Camaro There’s no doubt that the Camaro is cool, but the Mustang is a much better car for daily usage, and bests the Chevy with its convertible and glass roofs. Dodge Challenger It’s no surprise that the potent Challenger lacks fuel efficiency, but it is surprising that such a huge car could have such a poorly designed trunk, with a small opening that severely limits what you can fit into it. Again, the Mustang comes out as a much easier car to live with.

Coquitlam aims at repeat World Series ticket They’ve been there, done that. Now it’s time to do it again. The Coquitlam junior A’s enter this weekend’s Canadian Little League Junior baseball championships focused on doing what they’ve done before. The defending national champions and two-time provincial champs, the A’s have an advantage as the six-team tourney hits the Lethbridge, Alta. diamond tomorrow. And with four players from last year’s World Series squad on the roster, experience could play a major factor for the 13-14 year old club. “We have four kids from last year’s team that have played in these kinds of games, they played significant roles as 13 year olds and are playing greater roles this year,” head coach Wes Taylor said. “They’ve seen what happens at this stage.” Those ‘veterans’ — pitcher-infielder Brandon Becking, catcher-outfielder Javeed Khankashi, pitcher Austin MacDonald, and pitcher-infielder Curtis Taylor — have given the grassgreen rookie lineup lots of leadership. In the past six weeks, the squad has been very busy — collecting its B.C. title with an 8-3 win over Whalley two weeks ago, playing in a few tourneys — but coach Taylor notes that since the B.C. final there has been a void. “You run into this every year, it’s a long layoff between the B.C.s and the nationals, so it’s hard to keep their focus.” Keeping the teens sharp and focused is a challenge at the best of times. This group, he said, has been in tune with the overall gameplan, he said. One aspect that will be a boon is that the first-year juniors have heard all the stories and seen the rewards from last year’s run. “They want to get their name on that trophy, too,” the coach added. The A’s are deep at pitching which should help them through a long tourney, Taylor said. If they happen to achieve their goal, the journey will take them from Lethbridge to the Junior World Series in Taylor, MI right away. “These are my holidays,” Taylor quipped. “I’m fine with making it as long as possible.” Coquitlam kicks off the tournament tomorrow against the Maritime champions. A Canadian champion will be crowned Aug. 12.

Adanacs silence Shamrocks in opener Stories by Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com Score one for the defence. The Coquitlam Adanacs entered the Western Lacrosse Association’s playoffs against second-seed Victoria with a revved up attack, but facing questions about its backend. They answered those questions in spades on Wednesday, shocking the hometown Shamrocks 10-6 in Game 1 of their best-of-seven semifinal. Game 2 is tonight, 7:45 p.m. at the Poirier Sport Centre. “It was a good win, and a great way to start a four-of-seven series,” said Adanacs head coach Neil Doddridge. “We had to win the third period and we really did a job on them defensively.” Coquitlam’s defence, which surrendered the second-most goals during the regular season, stiffarmed the Shamrocks with a stifling performance, anchored by Brandon Atherton’s 41-save performance. The lanky, acrobatic netminder stared down the Victoria snipers over the first 40 minutes, as Coquitlam held a 5-4 lead entering the third.

TAG quartet earn positions to world championships A world championship is in the cards for four of Coquitlam’s TAG trampoline athletes, following a strong result at a qualifier meet. At the Canada Cup selection meet in Ontario, TAG’s six athletes accumulated six gold, two silver and a bronze, with 13-year-old Kyle Carragher winning his division in the national novice boys tumbling and double mini events. Rookie competitor Erin England, 12, took top prize in the national 11-14 girls tumbling division, while teammate Kassidy Kask placed fifth.

Dayna Weststeyn, 14, picked up bronze in the 15-plus tumbling competition. Veteran Tamara O’Brien, 13, scored twin silver in tumbling and trampoline, and shared gold in synchro trampoline with Alexa McPhee, who also earned an individual gold in double mini. Earning positions on Canada’s team for the world championships in France in November are Carragher, McPhee, O’Brien and Weststeyn. TAG is also sending a 10-member team to the world dance/tumbling championships in 2011.

PRE-HST SAVINGS

EXTENDED

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1st, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more. While we assisted hundreds of families with their pre-arrangements prior to the July 1st deadline, many others were unable to complete their plans before the HST became effective. By planning ahead you will: • Relieve your family of the emotional and ﬁnancial burden an unplanned funeral can cause • Prevent emotional overspending • Lock in prices at today’s rates

We’re happy to announce we are extending the pre-HST savings – but only for a limited time.

Langley/Aldergrove

6020-26

Aries March 21 - April 19: The main accent falls on romance, creative urges, speculative risks, charming children, beauty and pleasure. You’re on a winning streak, especially Sunday night to Tuesday, so enjoy, take advantage! Chase money, earnings, new clients and shopping bargains Tuesday eve, Wednesday. (But take care Thursday: don’t buy technology.) Relationships face some upheaval, disagreement Monday (when a deep rift is possible) and Thursday, but exciting agreement, attraction Friday/Saturday. You still face a “long climb” in partnerships, opportunities, relocation, but a potentially successful one!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase money, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. You can meet great luck, opportunity, these few days, and a problem. The predicament concerns your home and relationships; don’t let it go underground. (It might resurface Thursday.) The rest of this week is smooth, easy, a respite from problems. Your home atmosphere is sweet and sour – temper and affection mingle. This might occur because you feel secure, yet your ambitions seem thwarted. To succeed, be ambitious about security, real estate, food, cafes or similar arenas. (However, stop short of starting any brand new projects.)

Taurus April 20-May 20: Seek quiet, rest, cool shade. Your home, family, roots, security, nutrition, gardening, property, soul – these offer good luck all week, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. However, these three days might also bring a split between you and another – unspoken, perhaps, but sensed. This probably involves work, employment and a legal, ethical or travel situation. (A wee echo of this Thursday, also.) Your creative, romantic side surfaces mid-week – all’s ﬁne here, though you might experience little more than a “sweet notion.” Tackle chores – safely Thursday, wholeheartedly Friday/Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The problems of the last two weeks ebb now. However, two remain: the lesser involves communications/travel and health/work (mostly Monday). E.g., your car breaks down so you miss work. The larger dilemma (all week) also involves communication/travel, but “pulls in” legal, educational, publishing or international factors.You’ll have to decide between facts and ideas, casual communications or profound issues, near/small or far/large. For instance, do you make a verbal agreement or sign a contract? Love or acquaintanceship? You shine Sunday night to Tuesday! Chase money mid-week.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Read, write, travel, call, connect with siblings – luck here Sunday/Monday! The last two weeks brought some confrontations, splits, or problems – or simply a deﬁnite change in direction. That’s largely over, but a subtle alienation from a loved one (or in a new romance) could occur early this week – and a not-so subtle rift Thursday. Best idea: if you want to chase romance, wait until at least Thursday 9 p.m. (PDT) onward. The entire two years ahead demand slowness, steadiness and loyalty from you, if you wish to succeed in love. A big age difference is possible. Rest, mid-week.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoing projects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slowdown starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/ Monday could solidify a source of income, and/or bring a durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” that helps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, if you allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer you away from duties or practical goals. Contemplate the different paths of earnings versus investments. You might make a choice between these now to mid2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s good Friday/Saturday. A good week!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Wishes can come true! Popularity, optimism, social delights, ﬂirtations visit you! (They did the last two weeks, too, but might have been obscured by other problems.) Your sexual and romantic magnetism rise another notch. This mingles with a curious prudence on your part. Net result: you might have to decide whether to continue charming someone or to subtly retreat, around Monday. Similarly, you might, over the nine days ahead, face the difference between someone else’s friendliness and your own caution. There’s no harm (and much luck) in joining, bonding. Rest mid-week. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious, especially Sunday to Tuesday – but start no new projects. Work to complete, to give ongoing projects a new heave, to mend “prestige fences” with valuable people. Be light, humorous – the problems of the past few weeks are fading. But don’t expect co-operation: others wish you well, especially mid-week, but they won’t further your cause. Avoid gossip (and being its victim) Monday. Think about a long-term trend (now to mid-2011): your hands-on work is expanding, but your management duties are growing heavier. Which to favour? The hands-on. Rest, Friday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your natural August mood – mellow, broad-minded, yearning for travel or culture – returns nicely, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. An opportunity could arise to travel afar, attend a college (etc.) or disseminate your ideas – seize it! But be aware of one problem (now to mid-2011): it involves a choice between (or inability to merge) your future goals, your cherished wishes, your social life on the one hand, and your creative, speculative, pleasure or romantic urges on the other. E.g., should you choose friends or romance? Save for your future, or just have fun? You’ll be happy Friday/ Saturday!

Call 604-998-0218 604-444-3000 to place your ad to ad

August 8 - 14 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Mysteries abound, especially Sunday to Tuesday – find out why recent career and domestic events or pressures occurred. The answer could be lucrative! Taking a forward stance, step, could give your ambitions a boost, Tuesday or Thursday eve to Saturday. A congenial, powerful female might play a favourable role. (There is also a temperamental, probably male, higher-up, who still needs a diplomatic approach.) Caution was a good idea the last two weeks, but too much now can impede you. Mid-week’s mellow, loving. All week, examine “big finances” – but complete, don’t start. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships assume prime importance, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday (when a new link might form). You can fight or cooperate; realize that the other person/side holds the aces, the power. In legal, intellectual, international, far travel, educational and cultural zones, your secrets (or some other thing which you’d rather remain hidden: desires, fears, etc.) can be your weak spot, particularly Tuesday and Thursday. The cure for this (and many things!) is honesty. You will face the need soon to choose between a profound and a more casual relationship. The casual’s luckier. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Much work awaits – plunge in and get it done, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. You might be very hopeful about an investment or monetary action, but study underlying trends and forces before you leap – for instance, does the economic climate of your nation or locale flow in the same direction as your idea? Maybe. In the semi-big picture (now to mid-2011) chasing earnings is luckier than relying on investments or other people’s money. Anyway, serious decisions called for. Relationships lure you mid-week. Mysteries, secrets, sexual desires make Friday/Saturday interesting! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
