Want a rabbit? Spay or neuter it

A Victoria-based phenomenon has got politicians on this side of the water thinking about how to deal with Fluffy bunny — and her many offspring. Coquitlam council passed a notice of motion Monday that will see staff begin the process of changing the city’s bylaws around the sale of rabbits. If Monday’s motion gets drafted into law, only rabbits that have been spayed or neutered can be sold in the city. Originally submitted by Coun. Mae Reid, the motion changed over the course of Monday’s debate from a total prohibition on the sale of rabbits to one allowing only the sale of those that are infertile. That change forced Reid to withdraw her support for the motion, although all the other councillors endorsed it. “I only want the total prohibition or nothing,” Reid said. Her motivation to submit the notice of motion was born out of last month’s decision to begin culls at the University of Victoria (UVic), amid concerns that the creatures were decimating the school’s sports fields. Varying reports suggest about 2,000 feral rabbits live on the university grounds, and most are the descendants of abandoned pets. “It’s just inhumane,” Reid said of the UVic situation. “It’s caused a great division among staff and students and it’s just a terrible thing.” Reid also pointed to an increase in the rabbit population in Mundy Park about 20 years ago, a phenomenon that was at least partly attributed to rabbit owners abandoning their pets over time. Mayor Richard Stewart said his family has owned a handful of rabbits, and that while  CONT. ON PAGE 4, see PRICE.

Smoking may soon be banned on public patios like this one in Coquitlam, at the Starbucks at Como Lake Village shopping centre.

Coquitlam closer to smoking ban Referendum results give council incentive to ban butts on public patios Stories by John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com The nuances still have to be hammered out, but Coquitlam is moving towards snuffing out cigarettes. Council unanimously endorsed a notice of motion Monday that would ban smoking on public patios and spaces where those under the age of 16 may be present. Initially brought forward in January, Coun. Selina Robinson’s motion was deferred until after last month’s byelection, which featured a non-binding public referendum on the matter. The results were resoundingly in favour of the ban, as 72 per cent (3,744 voters) endorsed the move, versus 28 per cent (1,441 people) who voted against it. “The non-binding vote that we had, I think, spoke very loudly with 72 per cent of folks asking us to

consider a ban,” Robinson said Monday. Armed with a sign prepared by a Grade 4 student at Parkland Elementary school that read, “Please don’t smoke in public places where kids are,” Robinson read a handful of letters from school-aged children supporting the ban. She characterized the six-monthlong debate as a “highly charged issue” that has seen her receive her fair share of e-mails from those who don’t believe a ban is necessary, and others who question the science linking cigarette smoke to various forms of cancer. But despite council’s unanimous endorsement of the ban, many around the table questioned how the city could enforce the proposed bylaw. “Is it healthy? No, it’s not. Is it a good habit? No, it’s not … If I thought for one minute that we could enforce this, it would be a different thing. But what we’re doing is passing bylaws just to pass them, to say we did it and we did the right thing,” said Coun.

Lou Sekora. “But there’s nobody to enforce them, so I’ve got great difficulty with this bylaw.” Coun. Brent Asmundson also expressed concern over enforcement, insisting that “we really can’t enforce this.” He added that he’s hopeful the proposed bylaw will, at the very least, change people’s attitudes. “I don’t want to raise people’s expectations that the city is going to be out there backing them up with the bylaws on this, because we won’t,” he said. Newly minted Coun. Neal Nicholson, however, doesn’t see enforcement as much of an issue and believes the community will band around the ban. “I think enforcement is not a problem. You don’t need to have it done by bylaw enforcement officers,” he said. “We don’t need bylaw enforcement officers to go out and tell people not to smoke.

NDP MP Fin Donnelly (New Westminster-Coquitlam) introduced a private member’s bill in Ottawa on Monday that would extend employment insurance sickness benefits to 52 weeks from the current 15. Donnelly held a press conference after announcing the bill with MP Yvon Godin (Acadie-Bathurst), the NDP’s critic for employment insurance, and cancer survivors Natalie Thomas and Marie-Hélène Dubé. Dubé has collected more than 200,000 signatures on two separate petitions to extend EI sickness benefits. The bill would extend benefits for illness, injury and quarantine,

Donnelly said in a phone interview. People who are battling cancer and other chronic or long-term diseases are often starting, or are in the middle of, treatment at 15 weeks, Donnelly explained. He became aware of the issue when Thomas, a Coquitlam resident, came to speak with him soon after he was elected last November. She had to turn to friends and family when her benefits ran out as she was completing treatment, he said. Now that the bill has been introduced, it will have to go to second and third reading before it can be passed. The next step is raising awareness, Donnelly said. “We’re really highlighting this issue, that it is only there for 15 weeks.” Donnelly’s predecessor, Dawn Black, also introduced a private member’s

bill regarding EI sickness benefits after meeting Thomas in July 2006. Bill C-316 was introduced in March 2007 and reintroduced in October 2007, but did not make it to second reading. Thomas, who has lived in Coquitlam for 35 years, was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2006, she said, and needed a mastectomy. She had a second surgery on July 5, and two days later received her last EI payment. She had to rely on the kindness of friends, who would drop off groceries and mail her gift cards, to survive financially. “I went to Dawn’s office two weeks after I got out of the hospital,” Thomas said, “and told her, somehow we have to see this change.” She worked with Black, writing letters to local newspapers and col-

lecting more than 1,000 signatures over nine months. The campaign went quiet when Black became NDP MLA for New Westminster and Thomas suffered from health problems. But when Donnelly became the new MP last fall, Thomas took up the campaign again. “I am determined that people out there get the help they need,” she said. “Cancer is difficult enough without the financial strain. When you go through cancer, you’re first fighting the fear of your own mortality and, secondly, fighting the treatment,” she explained, adding to be without an income at that time adds tremendously to the fear and stress. According to the NDP, one-third of all sickness claims are exhausted before the beneficiary can return to work.

Nighttime Bridge Deck Hauling United Boulevard and Highway 1 Eastbound

The public is advised that transportation of pre-cast deck sections for the new Port Mann Bridge begins May 25, 2010 and will continue through November.

Several nights per week, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., there will be intermittent “slow rolls” of wide load transport vehicles along the two eastbound lanes of United Boulevard and two of the three eastbound lanes on the existing Port Mann Bridge. Trucks transporting the deck sections will travel slowly and will be accompanied by a pilot car. Travellers may experience additional congestion during these times, especially on United Boulevard, where transport vehicles will occupy both of the eastbound lanes. On the Port Mann Bridge, one eastbound lane will remain open to allow traffic to safely pass these transport trucks. Delays will be monitored and hauling schedules modified if necessary; however, drivers are requested to watch for slower moving vehicles, drive according to traffic conditions and obey traffic control personnel.

Shooting linked to gangs, drugs, crime The man shot and killed outside a Coquitlam Superstore last week has been identified by police as Milad Saffari. The 27-year-old Coquitlam man was known to police for his involvement in criminal behaviour, said Integrated Homicide Investigation Team spokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr. “We’re of the belief it’s targeted and we’re of the belief that it has something to do with gangs, drugs, organized crime,” Carr said. The shooting occurred on Wednesday, June 2 around 9:45 p.m. in the Superstore parking lot located off Lougheed Highway between Westwood Street and Christmas Way. Several bullets hit Saffari, who was sitting in a black Mercedes. Coquitlam RCMP and BC Ambulance responded to 911 calls, and paramedics stabilized the man to transport him to hospital, where he died soon after arrival. Carr wouldn’t say whether any suspects are under investigation for the shooting. “Unfortunately, with the community we can’t share a lot of what we learn as we go along because we need to keep that, for strategic reasons, close to our vest,” he said. “So there’s not a lot to say at this point.”

Puppy puncher linked to local theft

◗ Wills & Estates – Disputes ◗ Estate Probate & Administration

A 36-year-old man of no fixed address is facing several charges after he allegedly stole an SUV from a Coquitlam car dealer last weekend. An undercover police officer found the 2010 Ford Expedition parked in downtown Chilliwack Saturday afternoon. The vehicle, which had a separate stolen rear licence plate, had been stolen overnight. During surveillance on the vehicle, the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) saw a man return to the SUV. He drove to the Canadian Tire parking lot on the south side of Chilliwack. After he parked in the lot, police say he went to the back seat and allegedly punched a young dog in the head for unknown reasons. Police arrested the man without incident and discovered he is the same person who unsuccessfully tried to steal a bait car in Abbotsford two weeks earlier. He is also wanted on outstanding warrants out of New Brunswick, Alberta and Abbotsford. As well, he is under investigation for other stolen vehicles recently recovered in the Chilliwack area.

Re: “Centennial relocation plan on hold,” Friday, May 28. My initial reaction to the comments made by area residents concerning the relocation of Centennial Secondary to the Winslow site was to shake my head at the NIMBY attitudes expressed. On second thought, I do have some sympathy for Centennial’s potential neighbours. It’s not pleasant living next to a major construction site (just ask the To The folks living near the Poirier Rec Centre redevelopment). No doubt there will be some increased traffic and other negative effects in the serene neighbourhood north of Winslow. However, just south of Winslow the housing changes to older apartment buildings occupied by many lower income families. These families would benefit from the community services that could be offered in a Neighbourhood of Learning site, services like childcare, family resource programs, immunization clinics, sports and recreation programs — the list

goes on. The opportunities for high school students to get involved as volunteers in these community programs would be an added benefit. Currently, children entering kindergarten from this area are among the most vulnerable (at 37 per cent) in the school district, according to a UBC study. The official community plan for the neighbourhood south of Winslow (Austin Heights) shows that greatly increased density and much more multiEditor family housing is on the drawing board. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the provincial initiative to fund much-needed community infrastructure through the Neighbourhood of Learning program by rebuilding Centennial Secondary on the Winslow site. Hopefully, the nearby residents will reconsider their opposition in light of these community benefits. Joyce Barrett Port Coquitlam

Fake lake is really a huge mistake

s everyone in Metro Vancouver knows following our massive Olympic expenditures, impressing visitors is a process that can easily spiral out of control. Maybe that’s what happened to the federal Conservatives, who decided to build a fake lake in downtown Toronto to impress foreign journalists attending the G20 summit there later this month. The lake is set to cost — get ready for it — $2 million. Not surprisingly, opposition MPs are lining up to criticize the Conservatives and their lake. “The government’s half-baked fake lake takes the cake! What a mistake!” Liberal MP Rodger Cuzner said in the House of Commons, while the Conservatives were met with shouts of “Gilligan’s Island!” from the Liberal side of Parliament. “The billion-dollar boondoggle is ballooning,” said NDP Leader Jack Layton. “We have a government here that has to create an artificial lake when Canada has more lakes than just about any other country in the world. It is the taxpayers who are going to end up at the bottom of the fake lake with a fake Muskoka behind them. How can the prime minister justify wasting taxpayers’ dollars this way? It is absurd.” He’s right. It is absurd to construct an, ahem, “reflecting pool” as Industry Minister Tony Clement — whose riding this marvellous structure is set to adorn — is referring to the fake lake. While many B.C.ers have never been to Ontario’s fabled cottage country, we’ve all seen photos of it. Wouldn’t large-scale photos showcase it to foreign visitors, as well? Spending millions on security to host international events is, unfortunately, par for the course. Throwing away money in an attempt to impress media types, though, is unlikely to work. Summits for world leaders are not the same as the Olympics, with millions of TV viewers keen to learn about new places. Then again, maybe we shouldn’t talk. We did, after all, build our Olympic runs out of trucked-in snow and bales of hay.

It’s hard to predict how all this is going to go. For example, for all the claims that the Liberals have some sort of secret plan to sell our rivers to private interests, there is evidence that the relationship between the government and independent power producers may be fracturing, at least a little. A number of companies that failed to win approval from BC Hydro’s clean power call are upset about what they consider to be an unclear bidding process. And one company, along with the First Nations band that is involved in its proposed power project, has even filed a lawsuit against the government because Environment Minister Barry Penner recently told the legislature he had no intention of altering provincial park boundaries to accommodate the project, even though the company claims the government had earlier agreed to do precisely that. Sure, the HST continues to be a fevered topic of debate and denunciation. And it’s not like the tax will be out of the headlines anytime soon. But the energy debate is just getting started.

Letters

Who’s confused about the HST? Re: “HST facts? These four are the most important,” letter to the editor, Friday, May 28. I would like to thank Mr. Lang for taking the time to write and clarify my “confusion surrounding the HST hysteria,” even though I did not express confusion in my letter. Rather, I was expressing my frustration with what I viewed as the media’s one-sided reporting of the issue. After reading Mr. Lang’s letter, however, it is clear to me he is confused about the issue, so allow me to return the courtesy of trying to clarify his confusion. Fact 1: It is true some items will now be charged an additional seven-per-cent tax once the HST comes into effect, but no one has explained why some items were exempt to begin with. The HST will spread the tax burden more evenly amongst citizens, as opposed to the current system of some getting special treatment over others. Fact 2: It has been proven in many jurisdictions in this country and abroad that businesses save money under an HST system and they do pass these savings on to consumers. That is why the BC Chamber of Commerce, the BC Business Council and the BC forestry industry support the HST. Fact 3: People can vote Gordon Campbell out of office at the next election if they are dissatisfied with him, but to revoke the HST now would be financially irresponsible of this government — in addition to having to return $2 billion to the feds, businesses that have already incurred the expense of changing their accounting systems in preparation for HST would incur an additional expense to switch back.

Fact 4: The provincial government will not be collecting more tax dollars as a result of the HST — they will incur a net loss. If they do not introduce the HST, however, B.C. would lose business opportunities because we would be one of only two jurisdictions in Canada to not have the simplified taxation system. Mr. Lang proved my point. The media’s onesided coverage and Mr. Vander Zalm’s irresponsible campaign of misinformation have served only to have citizens start an ill-informed anti-HST campaign that, if successful, will ultimately cost British Columbians billions of dollars.

Cuts to ambulance service could harm patient health

The very reason why the transfer fleet was created in the first place, in the 1990s, was due to the tragic death of a little girl in Maple Ridge. There was no emergency ambulance available to respond when she was choking on a piece of food — they were all doing transfers. Even with the reduction in transfers, they still number 29,000 plus calls per year. And BCAS wants to reduce the number of ambulances available to respond to them and put the burden on the emergency cars. As we get more people moving into the province and as the population ages, call volumes will increase. There are not enough ambulances now, and the government is making no indication that they are going to increase the number of emergency ambulances. The health authorities in the Editor region have contracted out some of the very stable transfers to a private company (thus the major reason for the reduction in transfer fleet calls). This is not a bad idea, as an ambulance is not always necessary. However, many patients from area hospitals go to other area hospitals every day for specialized procedures. They may go from Chilliwack, Abbotsford or White Rock to Royal Columbian, Vancouver General or St. Paul’s hospital for angiograms or angioplasties. They may be hospitalized patients going for radiation treatment, MRIs, CT scans, day surgery and so on. It is far safer for them to go by ambulance than the private patient transfer service, because of the skill level and experience of the paramedics that work them and the equipment and resources available in the ambulance. The end result of this downsizing will be an increased and unreasonable amount of calls put on the remaining transfer fleet and on the emergency fleet, delays in responses to patients

Letters

To The

Recently the British Columbia Ambulance Service (BCAS) announced that they were going to reduce their transfer fleet in the Vancouver/Fraser Valley area by nearly twothirds. This means that out of 23 transfer ambulances, 14 will be gone with nine remaining and operating at reduced hours. The government, which holds the purse strings, and under the auspices of Health Minister Kevin Falcon, says that there is a $5.2-million shortfall to the BCAS operating budget. This is their solution to the problem. They say that the number of transfers have dropped by 33 per cent in the past few years. What this actually means is that the number of transfers are now at a manageable level, where before they were more than the fleet could handle and the extras were being given to the emergency fleet, preventing them from responding to emergency calls.

awaiting transfer, to emergency calls and a decrease in the level of service available to hospitals and patients with the definite possibility of unnecessary disability or death. All because of a $5.2-million shortfall that the government doesn’t want to make up. However, they can spend over $400 million on a new roof for BC Place. It is just another example of how this government continues to download costs onto its citizens or to cut services. Anyone using the private transfer service out of the confines of the hospital will pay more than by using an ambulance, as they are a forprofit business. If you think this is an important issue, please make your voice heard. Contact your local MLA or the minister of health, Kevin Falcon. Wendy Ehler Abbotsford

Nicholson officially welcomed back John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com His first run ended after roughly 20 months. After a 19-month absence, he’s back to serve for at least another 17. So goes the return of Coquitlam Coun. Neal Nicholson, who was officially sworn in at Monday’s council meeting after winning last month’s byelection. A brief five-minute ceremony preceded Nicholson’s return to politics Monday night, a process that saw the 68-year-old take an oath of office that, among other

Neal Nicholson things, laid out the responsibilities and expectations of a councillor. “I think that I’ve been paying close attention to council for quite a long time now,” Nicholson said at the conclu-

sion of Monday’s meeting. “I learned a great deal from every one of you and staff. One of the things I’ve learned is that we on council can work together better than in my previous experience. I’ve seen some examples of that and I intend to try and follow them.” Nicholson won the May 15 byelection by more than 650 votes over second-place finisher Terry O’Neill, who finished with 1,826 votes compared to the 2,490 ballots cast for Nicholson.

Nicholson was first elected to council in March 2007 — replacing former Coun. Louella Hollington — but lost his seat in the November 2008 general election. After former Coun. Fin Donnelly opted for federal politics last fall, a seven-month vacancy opened up on council. “We’re grateful that he’s here with us and happy that he’s able to join us at this, his inaugural meeting,” Mayor Richard Stewart said of Nicholson’s return to Coquitlam council chambers.

New boating rules now in effect

As boaters across B.C. prepare to start their boating season, law enforcement officers across the country prepare to hand out hefty fines of no less than $250 to an estimated six million boaters in Canada who still don’t have their Pleasure Craft Operator Card, according to a press release. After a 10-year federal law phase-in period, the deadline for all Canadian recreational boat operators to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Card has arrived. This boating season marks the first year where all boaters in the country, regardless of age, need an Operator Card, commonly referred to as a boating licence, or they risk being fined if caught without it. To get the card, boaters must pass a 36-question, multiplechoice exam with a 75-per-cent passing grade. For more information, visit Transport Canada’s website at www.tc.gc.ca.

Coquitlam’s Relay for Life tops $658,000 mark

Year over year, the numbers continue to impress. Held Saturday at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium, this year’s edition of the Relay For Life fundraiser netted more than $658,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Coquitlam Relay For Life co-ordinator Audrey McCulloch said that number is likely to rise, as anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000 is typically donated to the society in the weeks and months after the yearly fundraiser. “We are quite confident that we will be the top fundraising relay for the third year in a row [in Canada],” McCulloch said. This year’s fundraising totals have already exceeded the numbers from 2009 — when the Coquitlam relay raised $655,000 — and

the number of participants also increased: 131 teams participated, representing 1,176 registered participants. More than 100 cancer survivors also took part, on top of about 400 guests and spectators. “We get the same teams coming back year over year — it’s been a very supportive environment for these teams,” McCulloch said. “And it’s been in the same venue since it started, so it offers up a real community feeling.” What has grown into a nationwide effort took root in the Tri-Cities with the area’s inaugural Relay for a Friend initiative in 1992. Thirteen teams were involved in that event, which raised more than $30,000 for the society. In the 18 years since, more than $100 million has been raised nationwide.

Local food banks hope to receive a substantial donation from a small family business this summer. Tanya and Jeff Harrison of Veridamo Photography have a lofty goal of raising $15,000 for SHARE Family & Community Services and the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. The pair plan to raise the money through their Kids of Vancouver art book project, according to a press release from SHARE and the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. The project, a collection of photographs of everyday Metro Vancouver children compiled in a fine art coffeetable book, is in its second year. The first edition raised more than $9,000. Donations are specifically earmarked for the Kids’ Picks (Greater Vancouver Food Bank) and Tiny Bundles (SHARE Family & Community Services) programs, which focus on the health of young children. “With the birth of our daughter in 2008, our business priorities changed to accommodate our new family focus. We looked for a project that could not only let us photograph children but help them at the same time,” Tanya Harrison said.

Q. Why does my steering wheel shake when I apply my brakes? A. Most vehicles these days are front wheel which means engine transmission is all up front which creates a lot of weight, the reason your steering wheel shakes is because the brake rotors are warped. Now to repair this problem you need to replace the rotors or machine them which cost about $100. Now I inform customers to try and wait until you need from brakes. To prevent this from happening try to slow down a little sooner before you come to a stop also when going down hill try to pump the brake pedal so the rotors don’t get so hot and warp. Safety is my main concern so please don’t change your driving habits. But do try these tips...they may help.

VETERINARIAN Q. Why does my cat suddenly urinate outside of the litter box? A.There are two common reasons why a cat may do this: 1. Behavioral: Stress and anxiety from such occurrences as moving to a new home, introduction of another pet, new furniture, improper location of the litter box, etc. can trigger improper urination. D r. N e n a d K a r l i , 2. Medical: Cats with urinary tract conditions, such as DVM & Assoc. infections or bladder stones, may start urinating outside the litter box. These conditions cause very painful urination and cats associate this pain to the litter box and therefore avoid it. Commonly owners may observe blood in the urine, frequent urination, or straining without urination due to blockage. Cats with any of these symptoms are in serious and immediate need of medical care. If your cat is urinating outside the litter box please visit your Veterinarian, who will perform an exam and run tests to determine the underlying cause of your cats problem.

I have heel pain that is extremely painful the first few steps in the morning and bothers me when I have to stand or walk for long periods. An x-ray shows a bone spur on the heel and my doctor has diagnosed Plantar Fasciitis. Can Laser Light therapy help with my heel pain? Plantar Fasciitis is caused by inflammation and irritation of the plantar fascia, a broad ligamentous tissue that runs along the arch of the foot and attaches to the heel. A bone spur can develop on the heel with long term irritation to the plantar fascia which can make any weight bearing activity quite painful. Yes, Laser Light therapy can help with Plantar Fasciitis by reducing the pain and inflammation associated with this condition. Many of our patients experience complete, permanent relief from heel pain. After Laser Light therapy the pain of those first few morning steps and prolonged standing are gone. Patients report that they are able to resume a more active lifestyle without heel pain and are able to reduce or eliminate their use of pain medication. This non-toxic, non-invasive, safe treatment is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for painful conditions affecting not only the feet, but all joints including knees, shoulders, hands, backs and necks.

The treatments are covered under most extended beneﬁt plans.

It is always difficult for everyone when a relationship ends. Grandparents play an important role. It is important to maintain family ties. Access is decided according to whether it’s in the children’s best interests. In deciding whether or not access is appropriate, the courts will look at the history of the relationships and the contact that you enjoyed with your grandchildren before the separation. The courts will also take into account the circumstances now. It would be beneficial to try and resolve the issue in an amicable manner. You may want to contact your ex-daughter in law and ask about her willingness to set up access directly with you. If that does not work, a letter could be sent and a meeting could take place to help arrange access. Failing that, a court application could be filed. We would endeavor to get you an access schedule with your grandchildren that would be beneficial for all of you. We would help you maintain and build upon the bonds of love and affection that exist with the special role you have as grandparents.

The works of Arabel Luk’s understudies are the focus of this month’s display at the Port Moody Public Library. Luk’s students, who range in age between 10 and 15 years old, have been studying both Oriental and contemporary art for a number of years under the guidance of the noted Hong Kong-born artist, and their month-long show will feature a series of mixed media paintings. A member of the Port Moody Art Association, the National Art Education Association, ArtsConnect and the Chinese Canadian Artists Federation, Luk taught at the elementary, secondary and college levels for more than 20 years in Hong Kong before immigrating to Canada in 1995.

Archeological wonders a great reason to visit Scotland’s Orkney Islands Jamie Ross travelwriterstales.com

t seemed a mysterious, enchanting and magical place. I stood alone amongst the standing stones known as The Ring of Bodgar. A tour bus had just departed, taking with it a throng of tourists. I had the place briefly to myself. The sun was low in the late afternoon sky, throwing long shadows from the weather-worn, textured stones and reflecting golden off the Loch of Stenness behind. The ground had the feel of hist-

and protected the Scottish mainland. The islands rise precipitously from the sea in steep-sided splendour, and are beset by fierce weather and cursed with barren soil. The quiet sandy beaches, stunning scenery, abundance of wildlife, fresh cuisine and warm hospitality make these islands an ideal place for relaxing or for an action-packed holiday. Perhaps most impressively, the islands have archeological wonders around every corner. Just north of the Ring of Bodgar, for example, Skara Brae stands as the

ory. I stood wondering what ancient ceremonies had taken place here. The Ring of Bodgar is simply astonishing, a perfect circle of megaliths, the third-largest stone circle in the British Isles measuring over 100 metres (325 feet) in diameter, the slabs themselves up to 4.6 metres (14 feet) high. There are 36 stones remaining of an original 60, thought to date back from 3000 to 2000 BC. The Ring of Bodgar sums up the majesty of the remote, windswept Orkney Islands, a humble archipelago of 70 tiny isles off the northeast coast of Scotland that have long stood guard

Tomb on Orkneys is older than Egyptian pyramids  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17.

most well-preserved prehistoric village in northern Europe, dating back over 5,000 years. It was only discovered in 1850 when a winter storm revealed the structures. The stone dwellings are separated by covered passages and each one holds nearly identical stone beds, dressers, seats and boxes for provisions, recesses for personal possessions and a hearth where dried heather or seaweed was burned. Maeshowe, one of the world’s greatest Neolithic chamber tombs, is older than the Egyptian pyramids. A long passageway made out of large stone slabs leads into a beehive-shaped inner chamber. This chamber was reused by the Vikings as a tomb in the ninth century. Like modern-day graffiti artists, the Vikings carved their lovers’ names on the chamber walls. Another Neolithic tomb is the Tomb of Eagles, managed by the farmer on whose property it was found. Eagle bones and talons are found in it, along with the bones of over 300 people. Visitors can pull themselves into the tomb on a wheeled dolly. The Orkney Islands also boast some incredible modern history. As I had stood amongst the standing stones, so too, I dipped my feet into the cool ocean waters of Scapa Flow, strategically important during both world wars. The German High Fleet was scuttled there in 1919 and the Orkneys were given a new lease on life when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered the building of a series of barriers between the islands to block German U-boats’ access to Scapa Flow during the Second World War. The Churchill Barriers created five causeways that linked the largest of the islands and protected the British fleet. This huge civil engineering project was carried out by Italian prisoners of war who, in turn, left behind one of the most extraordinary objects in deeply Protestant Orkney: a lavishly decorated chapel. The Italian Chapel was built from the meagre resources available to the prisoners. Based on two corrugated iron Quonset huts placed end to end, it was painted inside in rich colours to resemble tiled mosaics. As a home base, I stayed at Brekk-Ness Guest House in Kirkwall, a well-preserved ancient Norse town with road signs warning of otters crossing. Kirkwall is the capital and biggest town on the Orkney Islands group, famed for the red sandstone St. Magnus Cathedral. The population of this bustling metropolis is a mere 7,500.

Nowadays, Orkney is a sophisticated place, supported by money from oil companies, loved by artists and adventurers, filled with craft shops and coffeehouses. The islands boast two golf courses and opportunities for fishing, diving on the wrecks of Scapa Flow and watching wildlife and seabirds. The whisky connoisseur can take a tour of Scotland’s most northern distillery, Highland Park, follow the process of making the famous spirit and taste the finished product. The Stone Age seems long ago, but on the Orkney Islands, the sun-warmed stones of prehistoric houses, tombs and stone circles seem to connect you with history, and the dozens of ancient ruins whisper secrets from the past.

If you go:

• Northlink Ferries (www.northlinkferries.co.uk) will take you from Scrabster to Stromness on the mainland island of the Orkneys, where many of the best sites are located. The crossing time is around 90 minutes, and on the way you’ll pass by the Old Man of Hoy, Britain’s largest free-standing rock stack at over 450 feet (135 metres).

The Tri-Cities chapter of Amnesty International will host a fundraiser on Tuesday, June 15 to raise awareness of human rights violations in Zimbabwe and Iran. “When we were planning our annual fundraising dinner, we initially wanted to focus just on the Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) movement,” Amnesty’s Joy Silver said in a press release, “but the very day we were meeting, we learned of the executions of five Iranians who had been arrested in the last round of demonstrations.” According to Amnesty International, people in Zimbabwe suffer state-sponsored intimidation, arbitrary arrest, torture and killings.

BC Lions give back to the community A

Lions Pride is a new program designed for youth in grades 8 to 12 and combines school visits by BC Lions players with the creation of a ﬂag football program. Photo courtesy BC Lions

For tickets, check out www.bclions.com or call 604-589-ROAR.

s the BC Lions get set to tackle another season at this year’s training camp in Kamloops, many players have wrapped up another round of community and school appearances. These off-season endeavours are a big part of the Lions’ community relations program, and players and staff log hundreds of hours each year speaking to students, making special appearances and spreading positive messages to young people. Lions centre and Lower Mainland native Dean Valli says participating in these programs can be as fulfilling as putting points on the board at a game. “I’ve been involved with several of the club’s community programs for a few years now and it’s a great feeling to know you’re setting a positive example for kids while having fun at the same time!” Some of the Lions programs include: Lions in the House The Lions in the House program is designed specifically for students in grades 8 to 12 and emphasizes the importance of positive life skills development for students and their schools. This year, Lions defensive assistant Barron Miles and centre Angus Reid traveled to secondary schools and engaged students in an interactive assembly with physical activity and motivational speeches on fitness and nutrition, bullying, continuing education, and maintaining a positive attitude. In all, Lions visited 30 schools across the Lower Mainland, speaking to more than 3,000 students as part of the program. Lions Pride This new addition to the BC Lions school program was launched this year. In partnership with the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, the BC Lions are inspiring youth to be active, make positive choices and excel. Lions Pride is designed for youth in grades 8 to 12 and combines school visits with the creation of a flag football program. BC Lions Terasen Gas Energy Champions This program is designed specifically for children in

kindergarten through Grade 7, emphasizing the importance of environmental responsibility and being an “Energy Champion.” In 2010, the BC Lions Terasen Gas Energy Champions program has visited 75 elementary schools throughout the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Interior and northern B.C. Read, Write & Roar The 2010 season marks the ninth year of this BC Lions’ literacy program in partnership with Literacy BC, the Vancouver Public Library, the Vancouver School Board and participating elementary schools. The program reached 15 school districts and more than 25,000 elementary school students, stressing the importance of literacy through a fun and captivating journal. Courage for Kids In 2009, the BC Lions continued their partnership with United Way of the Lower Mainland in support of this program. More than 6,000 children were given the opportunity to attend a BC Lions home game during the season thanks to the generosity of Courage For Kids sponsors and the United Way of the Lower Mainland. Every Yard Counts In 2010, the BC Lions will continue to partner with BC Children’s Hospital for the Every Yard Counts program. This initiative provides an opportunity for children to attend a BC Lions home game, allowing them to get away from their treatment schedules and the everyday battles they ﬁght. While the children get an opportunity to experience the excitement and emotion of a CFL game, they also have a chance to meet some of the BC Lions players. The interactions have far-reaching effects by creating feelings of hope and happiness, making it an enjoyable and rewarding program for everyone involved. For more information on any of these BC Lions programs, please contact the Lions’ director of community relations, Jamie Taras, at jtaras@bclions.com.

Score Card

Express add six signatures to retooling list Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com Whether it’s rebuilding or, as Darcy Rota prefers to call it, retooling, the Coquitlam Express president/general manager now has more pieces to get the job done. The B.C. Hockey League club announced the signing of six players Monday, a couple of days after receiving their player cards from Hockey Canada. Fittingly for a team that finished last in the conference and third from the bottom in a 17-team league, every position is addressed in the first batch of signings. The names of Khaleed Devji, Mark Begert, Justin Elliott, Justin Georgeson, Mitchell Deacon and Destry Straight may not ring many bells now with local hockey fans — although Deacon is a strapping Port Moody minor product — but Rota and head coach Jon Calvano believe they will be key pieces to an improved lineup for the 2010-11 season. Coupled with two trades, the Express are looking to unleash a bolder, bigger squad when the junior A season kicks off in September. In separate deals, they acquired the BCHL playing rights of Western Hockey League veteran and Coquitlam native Riley McIntosh and forward Steve Axford. “These players address our needs at various positions and will make us a better team,” head coach Jon Calvano said. Devji is an 18-year-old netminder who, as a rookie with the Pacific International Junior B league’s Grandview Steelers, posted the league’s best save percentage while recording 22 wins in 35 games. The 5’11 West Vancouver stopper was also voted the league’s MVP. He played for Calvano during the Vancouver NorthWest Giants’ run to a 2008-09 B.C. Major Midget title. “He did extremely well as a rookie (in junior B) and played a big part with the Giants. He’s very athletic, very lanky — although he’s not big, he’s really quick on his feet,” Calvano said. Poised to battle for roles on defence are Begert and Elliott, who offer contrasting styles of play. Seventeen-year-old Begert registered four goals and 23 assists with Calvano’s Giants last season, demonstrating solid puck-moving abilities. “He was one of our top-two defencemen, he’s a good skater who moves the puck well and makes good outlet passes.” The 18-year-old Elliott skated in Grandview, and as a freshman racked up nine goals and 10 assists in 47 games. While his 12 penalty minutes suggest he isn’t a Chris Pronger type, his 6’2, 195-pound  CONT. ON P. 33, see COQUITLAM ...

HOIST IT HIGH: Soccer Express’ Brad Leitch, left, and the John B Pub’s Brent Lepinski raise the replica World Cup trophy that will be on display at the Austin Avenue establishment during the month-long run of the FIFA World Cup championships.

World Cup uncorks month-long frenzy Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com It’s called the world’s biggest sports party. Even in hockey-mad Canada, the FIFA World Cup is a big deal. And while the Stanley Cup playoffs are slowly coming to an end, sports fanatics won’t have far to get their facepainting fix. Just ask Paul Dolan. The Port Moody native is anticipating a great World Cup in South Africa and will be following all the action. The 44-year-old said his own World Cup experience gives him a deep appreciation for the teams that will be laying it all on the line over the month-long competition. “I was just talking about it at work, how great it would be if they held it every couple of years, but then it would lose some of that special focus that is part of the four-year wait,” Dolan said. The goalkeeper for Canada’s only World Cup appearance (in 1986), Dolan has also attended two as a spectator — 1994 in the U.S., and ’98 in France — and admits there’s nothing like being there in person to get the full

flavour of the football festival. “In the U.S. some people expected it to be boring but there were a lot of friendly celebrations… In France the game I attended there was some hooliganism. But going there, just being part of the whole tournament is an amazing thing.” For Centennial secondary teacher and Port Moody Soccer Club coach Larry Moro, the 32-team, month-long marathon has seen many classic battles and memorable matches, but none as remarkable as his first in 1970. “My memory is of an incredible save by England’s Gordon Banks made off of Pele… I was a (10-year-old) goalkeeper and the save left an impression on me. “I had pictures of it on my bedroom wall. Years later I met Banks… he was a guest instructor (of B.C. Soccer). We were showing the clip of the save and I asked Banks if he ever got tired of seeing it. He got a gleam in his eye, smiled and said ‘Never!’ It was very cool.” Moro and his daughter Kara will be monitoring the action closely, he says. “It’s a great conversation starter at work among staff and students.” Long-time Vancouver Metro Soccer League president William Azzi said the tournament is an incredible event that

crosses borders and language barriers. People change their sleeping patterns to be able to watch their favourite teams, he said. With the games being played in South Africa, the most passionate fans will be hitting the pillow early to maintain their spectating habits. “The first game every day starts at 4 a.m. (locally) but luckily the most important games are starting later,” Azzi said. He recalls a trip to Commercial Drive that erupted in pandemonium after Italy won in 1982. “We took the kids down to there and what an absolute madhouse. They had to close the road, but that’s the way it is all over the world.” He bemoans the fact that the sport is relegated by Vancouver’s media to the back pages, if that, except come World Cup time. “Canada tied Venezuela 1-1 the other day (May 29), they really played their hearts out and tried really hard, but there was not a word in the paper the following day,” he said. Azzi has no qualms about who he’s supporting. Having instituted a pool for the VMSL back in its red-ink days, the

former Port Moody high school teacher said he hopes to see Italy make a strong run. “My hearts with Italy but my head says maybe Argentina,” Azzi said. Dolan said that when it comes down to who’s left standing on July 11 in the final, there won’t be any fluke finalist. “It’s all the regulars, the Brazils, Argentinas, Germany, Spain… I’d like to see England, who haven’t won it in 44 years. It’s going to be a great journey for whoever gets there.” While the loudest local celebrations may be on Vancouver’s Commercial Drive, soccer fans will find their share of places to catch the action, including two Coquitlam establishments, the Golden Boot Cafe and John B Pub. The Austin Avenue pub’s manager Brent Lepinski has joined forces with friend and Soccer Express owner Brad Leitch to turn the occasion into a fundraising opportunity for the area’s four minor soccer associations. Lepinski will have a replica of the World Cup on display along with a 100inch, high definition screen to put the games on big. Funds raised will go to help get more kids playing, with gear supplied by Soccer Express.

Adanacs’ late rally unable to erase sluggish start against ‘Bellies

A tepid start gave way to a hearty rally, but the Coquitlam Adanacs came up just short in their Western Lacrosse Association battle with the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Saturday. The defending champion Bellies staked out a 4-0 lead after just 13 minutes of play and held on down the stretch to beat Coquitlam 9-8 at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. In what could best be described as a restraint

affair, New West built up an 8-4 advantage after 40 minutes and then appeared to ease up on the gas pedal in the third. Daryl Veltman and Jason Wulder snapped home their third goals of the night to make it a one-goal game with time running out. Veltman’s marker came with just seven seconds left in regulation. Between the two tallies, Ross Halladay picked off an errant Bellies pass and broke in to the crease

only to have Matt Roik make a key save with 11 seconds left. “It was kinda quiet, wasn’t it? We chipped away and made it tighter at the end to make a statement,” said Coquitlam coach Neil Doddridge. “You’re never happy with a loss but that was a good (effort).” The 3-3 Adanacs take on Nanaimo on Saturday, 7 p.m. at the Sports Centre.

Talons’ Harding dashes to B.C. gold

Gleneagle Talons’ Hodson Harding cruised to the 400metre senior boys finish line in 49.10 seconds, collecting District 43’s only gold medal at the weekend’s B.C. High School Track and Field championships in Burnaby. A quick start allowed him to easily take top spot, with his nearest rival finishing the final in 49.37, while Centennial’s Nathan George placed fifth. Dr. Charles Best’s Tiffany Hernandez picked up a bronze medal in senior girls javelin, posting a throw of 34.62 metres, trailing the first place finish of 38.92. In the Grade 8 and 9 Invitational, Heritage Woods’ Alessandra Gentile placed third in the high jump by clear-

ing 1.55 metres, while Mitchell Jackson and Picabo Reeves posted fourth-place results in discus and 400m, respectively. Here are more top-10 results from the B.C.s: BOYS, 200m – Hodson Harding, 4th GL; Nathan George, 8th Cent. 400m – Hodson Harding, 1st GL; Nathan George, 5th Cent. 1500m – Lawrence Viola, 9th HW. 1500 racewalk – Nick Devlin, 5th PM.

frame will be a major asset on defence, Calvano said. The backline is ripe for opportunity, with positions open due to graduation and the recent defection by Simon Denis to the U.S. Hockey League. To add a veteran presence to what will likely be a young defence, Rota acquired the rights to McIntosh, and hopes to have a commitment firmed up from the 6’5, 205-pound skater. “He’d be a really good fit here, a local boy who would bring a lot of experience,” Rota said. McIntosh has 182 games of WHL experience. Up front, both Deacon and Georgson will try to make the jump to junior A from major midget, having skated together with the Northeast Chiefs. Deacon scored nine times and set up 21 goals over 40 games, while incurring 54 penalty minutes. At 6’3 and 177 pounds, he has impressive size for a 16 year old — he turns 17 before training camp opens. Georgeson, a Maple Ridge

native, tallied 21 goals and 29 assists as one of the Chiefs’ on-ice leaders. Straight, at 6’1 and 165 pounds, is a slick playmaker with plenty of offensive upside, having scored 12 goals and 51 assists in 39 major midget games. “He’s got very good offensive skills, speed and he sees the ice exceedingly well.” Axford, meanwhile, comes to Coquitlam via Camrose, the final piece to a Jan. 10 swap that sent winger Luke Challier to Alberta. The 5’10 Victoria native split the season between Powell River and St. Albert, accumulating three goals and five helpers over 53 games, but was a top-five scorer in the Vancouver Island junior B League two seasons ago. More moves and signings are expected in the coming weeks, Calvano said. “We’re working slowly but steady deals, but getting these players on cards is a major step that has been in the works for a while. Definitely we’re looking to get a bit more tougher because we’ve got to compete against the

Langleys, the Merritts and the Surreys.” Calvano also announced Grant Kerr, one-time head coach of the Port Coquitlam Buckeroos, and Mark Goble as the assistants who will join him behind the bench. The pair bring a lot of junior coaching experience to the club, and have both played key roles in his own development as a coach. “My goal is to be here for a long time and establish a winning program, like the Vernons, Pentictons and Nanaimos,” Calvano said. “A big part of it is surrounding yourself with good hockey people, which we’ve done. When you get that going, the kids do the recruiting for you.” The league will release the 2010-11 schedule later this month, with Rota noting that it will include plenty of Friday evening home games. The regular season is slated to begin Sept. 10. Because of lacrosse commitments, the club will launch the season on the road. • Coquitlam continues to seek billet families for their players.
