Jacket scam is not new DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

A man calling himself “Salvatore” and driving a white, late-model luxury SUV appears to be remounting a leather jacket scam that a suspect used to try to bilk people out of money and personal computers three years ago.

Last week, The Tri-City News reported that a darkhaired man with a swarthy complexion used a ruse about needing directions to the Vancouver International Airport as an opening gambit to get Farrell Hannah to “trade” $600 in cash for Italian leather jackets purportedly worth $1,100 to $1,400.

Salvatore said he needed the money to buy an iPad for his daughter. The incident occurred last month outside an HSBC branch on North Road in Coquitlam.

PUBLIC TRANSIT

Transit fare review could bring big change TransLink seeks advice from local taxpayers on how to charge for trips

JEFF NAGEL BlaCk Press

Should transit riders pay less if service is infrequent in their area?

Should fares be tied to ability

of transit riders to pay?

Or should a transit trip cost the same amount no matter who pays or where they go?

Those are some of the questions TransLink is asking the public as it begins a major two-

year review to reimagine the transit fare system.

It’s the first such review in more than 30 years — since the original three-zone fare system was adopted — and it throws open at least the po-

tential for radical changes.

“No decisions have been made,” said Tim Savoie, TransLink’s vice-president of transportation planning and policy. “We recognize that any potential changes will directly

affect our customers and that’s why we’re asking for input at the very start of this process and throughout each phase.” see ONLINE SURVEY, page 7

CITY ELECTION SPENDING

Councillor wants province to ban union, corporate election money Coq. council will debate campaign funding motion at its next meeting GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam councillor is calling on the Union of BC Municipalities to lobby the provincial government to ban union and corporate donations in civic election campaigns.

Coun. Bonita Zarrillo put forward a notice of motion during the May 16 council meeting asking her council colleagues to submit a resolution to the UBCM for consideration at its 2016 convention in September in Victoria.

She told The Tri-City News last week that with so much money spent around election time, city officials are beholden to interests that do not always align with the will of residents.

“I truly believe that there is no chance that a candidate gets elected with a sizable contribution, that it doesn’t affect their voting,” said Zarrillo, who in the last civic election collected $10,300 from corporate contributors and $10,041 from labour groups. “There is no way.”

Asked whether she felt she has been influenced by a campaign contribution, Zarrillo said she had never been consciously swayed by a financial supporter. But she added that on some level, councillors may by impacted by a donation without realizing it.

“To say that it is not influencing is naive,” she said.

The provincial government is currently considering implementing expense limits on civic campaigns. Last year, the special committee on local elections expense limits released its final report, which included a spending formula based on a given municipality’s population.

While Zarrillo called the proposed changes “a step in the right direction,” she said the public will still believe council is influenced by large corporate and union interests.

“Perception is reality for the electorate,” she said. “It is important that we react to that

“I truly believe that there is no chance that a candidate gets elected with a sizable contribution, that it doesn’t affect their voting. There is no way.”

Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo

“I have never seen any evidence that anything other than ideology, policy, principles, beliefs and response to public opinion have driven the votes of my colleagues on council.”

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill perception.”

Council will debate the motion at its next meeting on Monday but already one of Zarrillo’s council colleagues has said he won’t support her initiative.

Coun. Terry O’Neill, who in the last civic election received $16,950 from corporate con-

tributors and no contributions from labour groups, told The Tri-City News last week — and the provincial special committee in a submission two years ago — that any effort to curb donations would hurt nonincumbents running for election and benefit those who are aligned with political parties.

“It is already an uphill climb for independent newcomers,” he said. “Restricting those who they can seek financial support from would make it even more difficult.”

Changing the current system could have unintended consequences, he added, noting that he believes the campaign

T FAJI AS

BY THE NUMBERS

Union and corporate donations made up a sizable percentage of candidate contributions in the Tri-Cities during the 2014 civic election.

The 50 candidates who sought municipal office in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody raised a total of $890,319, with $405,576 coming from corporate contributors, $152,186 from unions and labour groups, and $107,492 coming from individual donors. Candidates spent $225,065 on their own campaigns.

The numbers change depending on the city.

In Coquitlam, corporations donated $297,225 and unions $58,570, while in PoCo, corporations donated $61,827 and unions $28,350. Port Moody was the only city where unions donated more than corporations, with $65,266 coming from labour groups and $46,524 coming from businesses.

what do you think? should the province ban corporate and union donations to civic election campaigns? Do you believe council members are influenced by such cash? send us a letter at newsroom@tricitynews. com, comment under this story online or leave a comment on our Facebook page.

finance process works reasonably well. O’Neill opposes any limitations on spending and donating to civic election candidates, and said he believes it infringes on a person’s freedom of speech.

He also questioned Zarrillo’s assertions that donations influence the way a

councillor votes.

“I have never seen any evidence that anything other than ideology, policy, principles, beliefs and response to public opinion have driven the votes of my colleagues on council,” he said. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

TRI-CITY CRIME

At least 2 more reports of leather jacket scam continued from front page

Since the story was published last Friday, The Tri-City News has received two more complaints about a similar scam, one taking place on May 2 at Shaughnessy Station in Port Coquitlam and another in November 2015 outside the Coquitlam Ikea store.

In both instances, the ruse was similar to the one in last week’s article. In the May 2 incident, the man with the leather jackets pulled out a photocopied map of Vancouver and asked that the route to the airport be pencilled in. The man then offered a leather coat with a fur collar.

In the Nov. 17, 2015 incident, Mike Schenstead took a photo of the man in the car and passed it on to the Coquitlam RCMP. Police spokesperson Const.

Jamie Phillipson said he only found one recent May 4 incident in police files but his search revealed a press release dating back to December 2013, when a man calling himself Salvatore and speaking with an accent claimed to be a distributor of fine leather jackets from Italy. In the press release, the man was reported as saying he needed to unload his sample stock before returning home.

Unfortunately, the man was able to persuade a victim to trade in a brand new MacBook Pro laptop, along with several hundred dollars, for several leather jackets, which turned out to be made of vinyl.

Const. Phillipson said it’s important for people to call the police if they think they have been approached by a scammer, and get a file number so an investigation can proceed.

“If you do come across this, there’s some really good information that can help us to identify the suspect,” he said, noting that information such as a licence plate number, location where the encounter took place and the time are important details to pass on.

“We have a situation three years ago but nothing since May 4. There’s maybe a likelihood the person is mobile and driving from jurisdiction to jurisdiction,” Phillipson said.

The similarities between the incidents and the targets suggest the ruse has been occurring for several years.

For one man, who was approached outside Shaughnessy Station around 3 p.m. on May 2, the incident began with a request for directions to the airport and a photocopied map on which he pencilled in the route from PoCo.

The man then offered an expensive-looking leather coat with a fur collar.

“I even said out loud, ‘You’re not giving me a leather coat.’ I just did not believe it,” the man wrote in an email to The TriCity News.

The man said he didn’t want to have to pay duty on the coats on his return trip to Italy and ran the flame of a lighter up and down the sleeve to prove it wasn’t vinyl. Then he asked “How much for an iPad in Canada?”

The man then asked how much money he had on him.

“All I had to do was give him $300 [for an iPad mini for his daughter] and wouldn’t that be a fair trade.”

When the local man said he only had $20 on him, the scammer suggested he get money from the nearby credit union.

He declined and then told a nearby security guard about the issue.

• If you have any information regarding a similar incident, contact Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 to report it.

Anyone wishing to provide information anonymously in relation to this scam can contact Crime Stoppers. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Big piece of Burke is up for detailed study GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

A visioning process for the northwest part of Burke Mountain is still in its initial stages but one things is certain: More people will be living on the mountain in the next 30 years.

According to city staff, steep and unstable slopes as well as Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) setbacks will make it difficult to develop the 400-hectare site.

Still, a report noted that between 2,200 and 5,300 housing units could be built on the land, which could accommodate a population range of 6,500 to 13,500 residents.

Coun. Mae Reid told her colleagues last week that the city needs assurances from the province that transportation services will come to the mountain before more development

is able to take place.

“It has to be a certainty,” she said. “It should have been built quite a while ago.”

She also said that the city needs to look at tourism opportunities in the area, noting that the natural setting is popular among mountain bikers and hikers. Reid noted that there are already local companies that take people on hiking tours up Burke.

The population estimates for the northwest Burke Mountain vision area vary depending on how many single-family homes or townhouses are built as well as the total amount of developable property on the site.

The 400 hectares covered by the northwest Burke plan start at the gravel quarry on the west side of Burke Mountain and continue across Coquitlam River, up the mountain to the top of Coast Meridian Road and continuing east between

the border of Pinecone Burke Provincial Park and the north end of Partington Creek. City staff believe that 95 to 200 hectares are developable.

“We want to make sure that the planning we are doing meshes with what is feasible from an engineering perspective,” said Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning and development. “We want to make sure that what we are bringing forward can ultimately be serviced.”

There could even be some room for commercial properties, according to Steve Gauley, a city planner.

“We believe there may be some opportunity for localbased commercial,” he said.

“We will need to confirm through the neighbourhood planning stage and with the development community as well.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

PUBLIC TRANSIT

Online survey open continued from front page

Anyone can fill out the survey for the first phase of consultations at www.translink.ca/ farereview until June 30. Also planned are stakeholder forums, polls and other events.

The questionnaire sheds some light on the types of reforms TransLink may consider.

It asks if fares should be lower at less busy times — effectively creating time-of-day pricing that could encourage some riders to shift to off-peak times to save money. Other questions include: • whether cheaper fares should be created for very short trips where riders are now reluctant to pay the minimum $2.75; • whether reduced rates should be offered to families travelling together; • and whether three-day or maybe one-week passes should also be offered, rather than just single-day or monthly passes.

Also up for debate is how far fares should go to cover the system’s costs.

Transit fares generate nearly $500 million a year and any fare structure reform would have to deliver a similar amount if the system is to maintain its current 53% costrecovery ratio with existing service levels.

The survey asks whether

TransLink’s Compass card system gathers ridership data that will be used in the transit authority’s fare review. “fares should be set to cover a higher share of transit costs.”

Alternatively, it asks if fares should be priced to be competitive with driving, or priced based on the cost of building and operating a service — a high-cost new rapid transit line might then come with higher fares.

Cash fares for a SkyTrain trip are currently $2.75 to ride one zone, $4 for trips across two zones and $5.50 to ride three zones, such as from Surrey to Vancouver.

TransLink has already eliminated multi-zone fares for bus routes that cross zone boundaries — that change came in response to a decision last fall to abandon the Compass card

tap-out requirement on buses.

The existing three-zone system is unfair, particularly to riders who have to take short SkyTrain trips across a zone boundary, forcing them to pay for two zones.

The Compass card’s arrival provides real-time data for TransLink and opens up more scope to consider new fare options.

The first phase of the review includes an online survey, stakeholders forums, in-person events and market research.

TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE

Greens eye referendum to thwart pipeline Activists ready to use direct democracy tools JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

Opponents of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning are planning to try to force a provincial referendum on the project — much like the one that unravelled B.C.’s harmonized sales tax — if federal regulators or the Trudeau government fail to stop it.

The National Energy Board recommendation on the project came down last Thursday and critics got the conditional rubber stamp they expected, leaving it to a federal government decision by December and then provincial permitting.

Canvassers would then gather a mass petition as part of a citizen initiative to force a referendum under B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act. “It’s a unique legislative tool that none of the other provinces have and my feeling is we should use it,” said Kai Nagata, energy and democracy director for the Dogwood Initiative.

He says 250,000 supporters are identified and more than 1,000 potential canvassers — far more than the Fight HST campaign had at its start.

FILE PHOTO

Opponents of the HST (including former premier Bill Vander Zalm, above) were successful in defeating the tax in a referendum and now some people are hoping to do the same with Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

And anti-pipeline forces would have several more months to organize ahead of a 2017 initiative.

“We think with another summer under our belts we’d be in a much stronger position to mount a successful initiative than any group has in B.C. history,” Nagata said.

“The HST referendum and the transit referendum showed

the government is fine putting these big sticky policy questions to the public, and ultimately I think that’s where the decision is best made.”

Premier Christy Clark could enable a referendum at the same time as next spring’s provincial election if she wants to ride the tide of direct democracy, he suggested, or else find her party fighting against it.

But a veteran of B.C. direct democracy campaigns predicts anti-Kinder Morgan forces would be in for an immense challenge, because of the requirement that they sign up 10% of the voters in all 85 ridings across the province.

“That is a wicked, wicked test for any political organizer, because what people think in Peace River versus Vancouver-

Point Grey is completely different,” said Bill Tieleman, the strategist behind Fight HST. “You have to get every riding, you have to clear the table.

The entire thing falls on one riding.”

The sign-up threshold would be easy to reach in Vancouver and Victoria, he suggested, and likely suburban ridings, but much less so in the rural north where more people depend on blue collar jobs in energy, mining and forestry.

“A lot of people are going to say, ‘Go away and go away in a hurry before I throw you off my property bodily.’”

If organizers do get the required 10% of signatures everywhere, Tieleman said, they’d then be up against the reality that the initiative legislation is largely “toothless.”

It requires the government to either introduce draft legislation penned by the proponents or else hold a provincial referendum that, if successful, would merely require the government to introduce the bill, but not necessarily pass it.

A resistant government could kill it at either stage by introducing it, briefly debating it and then letting it die.

It’s too early to say what the proponent bill would say.

But Nagata indicated it could legislate against provincial government approvals of

the project, or its environmental assessment certification by B.C. now required by a court decision, or it could even outlaw shipments of diluted bitumen in B.C. generally.

The only reason the HST referendum in 2011 was binding is that then-premier Gordon Campbell agreed to make it so. No forces won with 55% of the vote, forcing a return to the PST. But Tieleman said a government that ignored a successful mass petition would do so at great political risk.

“It is a validation of public sentiment,” he said. “Any time you get a half million people saying they want you to do something its kinda stupid to not pay any attention to it.”

Tieleman said a more powerful strategy for anti-pipeline campaigners might be to launch a recall campaign to topple a senior government minister.

B.C.’s recall provisions require campaigners get 40% of voters in a riding to sign a recall petition.

“You can concentrate all of your effort on one riding,” Tieleman said. “If you recall a cabinet minister that sends a hell of a message to government and says ‘We’ll do it again if you don’t do what we want.’” jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

Pang is among three TriCity students whose projects were chosen at the three-day Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair, landing them coveted spots on Team BC to compete at the national science fair from May 15 to 20.

And those spots are hard to come by: Students complete

about 500,000 inquiry-based projects annually but only 400 to 500 are selected to attend the nationals.

But a quick look at the locals’ projects and it’s easy to see why they were chosen.

Our Story

The City has received an application to amend the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) relating to the properties at 3553, 3557, 3563, 3567 and 3575 Victoria Drive and 3570 Baycrest Avenue. The application proposes a change in the land use designation for one portion of the subject sites from Townhousing Residential to Baycrest Low Density Residential and a change to a second portion of the sites from Baycrest Low Density Residential to Townhousing Residential. If approved, these changes would adjust the proposed single-family and townhouse site layout to facilitate a development with a building orientation that retains the slope of the site.

mosphere had been competitive and he wasn’t sure how, as a science fair rookie, he ranked against the veterans.

Pang said the national fair was “an amazing experience.”

“I have been able to network with like-minded youth as well as reconnect with friends I met in previous science fairs,” adding the chance to see Montreal has also been enjoyable.

In addition to the three students who won spots at the Montreal competition, two others were also recognized at the regional science fair.

Mike Roslikov, a student at SD43’s Inquiry Hub, won a silver medal in the intermediate category for his research on sleep, netting him a UBC computer science award. It was one of only two handed out, and both were given to School District 43 students.

As well, Heritage Woods secondary’s Danilo Lekovic was recognized with an honourable mention in the intermediate category for his project on self-driving cars.

“In this study, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were treated with insulin or glucagon… to determine whether macrophages express receptors for islet hormones and the effects of islet hormone receptor signalling on macrophage polarization.”

A loose translation: “Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, have been found to induce inflammation in Type 2 diabetes,” Pang wrote in an email from Montreal. “The purpose of my current study was to determine the effects of hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, on the functioning of these white blood cells.”

Pang hopes that understanding the effects of insulin and glucagon on macrophage functioning will help develop a more effective treatment for Type 2 diabetes, which afflicts more than 300 million people.

Vladislav Pomogaev, a Grade 12 student at Port Coquitlam’s Riverside secondary, built a new version of his electric skateboard, which has previously been featured in The TriCity News, for the judges.

The fifth incarnation is

lighter thanks to a carbon-fibre board, with a more durable chain drive and a new charging system so the board is ready to go in less than an hour.

Pomogaev also incorporated the engine components into the deck to create more clearance underneath it. The machine boots along at just over 30 km/h for about 10 to 15 km, and is operated by an Android phone app that Pomogaev also designed.

Kelvin Zhang took the idea of a self-driving car and investigated how he could make it better. The Gleneagle secondary student saw a flaw in Google’s version — the lack of optimal algorithms and, as such, the need for a back-up driver — so he developed a genetic algorithm “closely resembling that of biological evolution, and replicating the way in which we learn.”

The Tri-City students’ week in Montreal was a flurry of tours, project set-up, meetings, conferences and speakers’ series and, of course, judging.

The competition appears to have been impressive.

“I can’t even pronounce the names of some of them!”

Pomogaev said, noting the at-

PORT COQUITLAM

PoCo ponders arts guru as part of culture plan JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam may be taking the first steps to revamping its arts and culture plan but it needs a champion to link city hall with its constituents.

That’s the view from a consultant hired last year to gauge the public on the Imagine Port Coquitlam Cultural Plan, a guide for the municipality’s arts, culture and heritage events, programs, services and facility operations over the next decade.

At last week’s healthy community committee, PoCo’s recreation director, Lori Bowie, unveiled the consultant’s report, which calls for, among other

things, the need for the city to recruit a cultural development and community services manager to steer the plan.

But funding for that job has been sharply criticized by at least three councillors who, when the budget came forward this month, said they didn’t want the city to spend taxpayer dollars on new managerial positions given the upcoming rebuild of the recreation complex.

And councillors Dean Washington, Glenn Pollock and Brad West singled out the arts manager as being redundant.

At last Thursday’s meeting, Coun. West continued to show his disdain, saying it’s unwise for the city to proceed with the arts plan without a leader in

ATHLETE PROFILE

September 20 - 24, 2016

Lori Percival | Track and Field Lori got involved in Track and Field (T&F) in 2012. She does some sprinting but predominantly race walking and throws Discus, Javelin, Shot Put, Hammer and Weight. On average she competes in 10 track meets a year in up to 22 different events. Lori trains three to four times a week.

Lori’s most exciting accomplishment was competing in a 4 x 100m relay. The team ended up winning and set a Canadian Masters Record. Lori’s mantra is “have fun, no injuries”. The best sporting advice she received is - don’t focus on anyone else, just focus on yourself and your own personal goals.

From sport participation, Lori receives the benefits of comradery and support from other athletes. She has also noticed an increase in her ability to focus and concentrate.

Her advice to other athletes is train and compete responsibly. Find a good coach, be patient, and listen to your body. Her suggestion to novices would be to get out there and try. There are so many events.

You might find one that appeals to you and you are good at.

place. “I think there’s a little bit of cart before the horse,” West said. “We have no arts manager prior to receiving the plan. It’s kind of backwards.”

(The position is now being advertised, city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said Tuesday.)

But committee chair Coun.

Darrell Penner argued an arts manager would co-ordinate big events on behalf of the city and act as the liaison to local arts groups — something the community asked for in the outreach process.

Consultant Patricia Blakney Huntsman, who received 1,700 sources of community

input, suggested the new arts manager would also support a new external festivals committee — another 2016 budget earmark — and would set up a roundtable to ensure local arts groups are represented and to weave culture into business, sports and other sectors.

Mike Bowen, a committee member and former city councillor who is part of the PoCo Sports Alliance, said an arts manager would provide direction for the city as “there seems to be a lot of disconnect between the city and the users.”

“Arts groups are telling the city to be more hands-on,”

PoCo’s chief administrative officer John Leeburn added.

PoCo’s arts plan comes at the same time as that in Coquitlam, which has budgeted $100,000 for a consultant to update its visioning document for the next 15 to 20 years.

Toronto-based consultants Millier Dickinson Blais’ report was before council-in-committee this spring; an online survey went live yesterday (Tuesday) in conjunction with the master recreation plan poll (visit coquitlam.ca/city-hall/ plans/prc-master-plan.aspx).

Meanwhile, in Port Moody,

a tender will go out this week to organize the city’s next arts and culture master plan.

“We anticipate that the entire process will take a little less than a year,” city spokesperson Rosemary Lodge said.

OUR OPINION

Politics, oil & environment T he National Energy Board’s support — with 157 conditions — for the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning is not likely to assuage the concerns of Port Moody and Belcarra residents.

The city and village citizens who live across from the proposed project— and whose officials were intervenors at the NEB hearings on the project — probably have more questions than answers about the recommendations released Thursday.

For one thing, they are likely wondering who is responsible if an oil spill occurs from a tanker in B.C. waters because the NEB confirmed that Trans Mountain is only responsible for the pipeline and problems issuing from its Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby.

Unfortunately, the NEB report doesn’t look into whether the shippers or the authorities governing, patrolling, monitoring and protecting B.C. waters are

capable of dealing with a major spill, other than to say shippers must have spill-response plans, and it acknowledges the company’s commitment to work with agencies to reduce response times along the tanker routes and within Burrard Inlet.

In other words, we have to take it on faith that the most important responsibilities — protection of coastal waters — will be

carried out.

The NEB does acknowledge concerns raised by Belcarra about lighting and Trans Mountain has promised to do what it can to limit nuisance lighting. But for the most part, concerns about chemicals, bird and animal strikes, wave effects and other environmental issues were not deemed enough of a concern to scrap the project.

email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-472-3030 www.tricitynews.com/opinion

The NEB will require ongoing monitoring of a number of environmental issues, most notably emissions, which it admits will contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and there will be ongoing community benefits, which today total $6.44 million, according to Trans Mountain.

For Canadians wondering Why oil? and Why Now? — given the problems in Alberta and China, including low oil prices and a stagnating economy — the NEB justified the project as being important to the country’s economy.

Whether it would be better to diversify to other energy sources instead of relying on “dirty oil” was outside of the scope of the NEB review.

It is now up to the federal Liberal government to decide whether this project is a modern nation-building opportunity or an outdated resourceextraction economic strategy that will contribute to climate change.

FRASER HEALTH

Families with sick loved ones hurt by parking practices The Editor, I have the unfortunate experience of having a loved one in a local hospital for the past month. That is stressful on its own.

Parking at the hospital compounds that stress. It is all computerized. Put the stall number into the machine, pay by credit card only, two hours for $7.75.

Then it takes about 10 minutes to make your way through the maze of hospital corridors to the room. Goodbye at the end of the visit can be emotional and sometimes the hug lingers longer than anticipated. Then make your way back through the maze to your vehicle.

The whole time takes two hours and nine minutes — and there it is, a ticket on the windshield for $48! All for being nine minutes late. Talk about a cash grab at a time when your world has been turned upside down.

The Impark agent is sitting with a handheld computer and

as soon your paid time is up, off they go to put a ticket on your car, no leeway allowed.

There is no ability to pay for the extra nine minutes, no means of paying less than an hour.

Whatever happened to having a parking lot attendant you pay when you exit, paying for the time you have been there?

That would create a job for someone and allow a person to have that emotional goodbye or an unexpected word with the care providers, or if the doctor decides to come around and have a word with the family, or your loved one decides they need assistance getting to the bathroom, whatever the cause of the minor delay.

No one is there to purposefully overstay their paid time.

It is criminal to ticket a person at a hospital for a mere few minutes. Shame on Impark and shame on health authorities for being so greedy and uncaring.

Sherry Furukawa, Coquitlam

PARKS

PARKS WORK HURTS PARK

The Editor, Re. “$1M in cost overruns for park work” (The Tri-City News, May 18).

They pave paradise and put up a concrete eyesore, otherwise known as an amphitheatre.

The $3.2 million spent on the amphitheatre in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park could have been better used elsewhere.

The area was a quiet, peaceful space in the midst of a busy city. This creation is totally out of character for the area, an area that had been very well planned.

Thanks a lot, city council.

SCHOOLS & KIDS

B.C. schools don’t help children with dyslexia The Editor, Re. “Parents want more SD43 dyslexia support” (The Tri-City News, May 20).

I hate to break the news to Cathy McMillan and Kim Fisher, but when my son was finally diagnosed with dyslexia in School District 43, that was only the beginning of our frustration.

B.C.’s school system does not teach dyslexic children how to read and write the way they need to learn. When my son was in Grade 3, there was only one Orton-Gillingham-trained teacher in SD43 and that person did not teach a single child.

They will “accommodate” dyslexic children but they don’t actually change their teaching style to match the learning style of the child.

We had to send our son to a private school in order to get the education he needed. If we hadn’t done that, he would still have a Grade 3 reading level, not because he couldn’t learn to read but because the school system would not have taught him to read the way he can learn

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Cathy McMillan of Decoding Dyslexia BC and Kim Fisher, a Tri-City parent, are asking for early screening for children to identify reading problems. to read. He is back in a public school but not in Coquitlam.

Approximately 15% of school kids are dyslexic. With more than 550,000 kids in B.C. schools, that means there are about 83,000 who are dyslexic.

We have seen kids get to Grade 12 in B.C.’s school system and still not be able to read.

It is criminal that B.C. does not teach all kids to read despite the BC School Act stating that a “purpose of the British

Columbia school system is to enable all learners to become literate.”

I think it will take a class action lawsuit to change things.

I do wish Ms. Fisher and Ms. McMillan and their kids the best of luck. My heart goes out to those families that do not have the resources to get their own kids tested or to hire a proper tutor that can teach their kids to read.

EMERGENCIES

Three days, three fires All three long weekend blazes were accidental GARY MCKENNA

THe Tri-CiTy News

It was a busy long weekend for Coquitlam Fire and Rescue, whose crews battled three significant blazes in three days.

The first incident occurred Friday afternoon at Firbrook Place between Lougheed Highway and Westwood Street, where roofers using a torch are believed to have started a fire that spread to a nearby home.

“We managed to get that put out but there was still quite a bit of damage,” said Coquitlam Fire Chief Wade Pierlot. “It also

damaged the residence next door.”

No injuries were reported but neither family was able to return to their homes by Tuesday afternoon, according to Pierlot.

On Saturday night, a second fire occurred at a home on Delestre Avenue, which investigators believed started in the living room. Pierlot said that the blaze’s cause was likely electrical and broke out next to a lamp.

Two occupants were able to get out of the home without sustaining any serious injuries but the structure is likely a write-off, he said. The property had been recently sold, Pierlot said, and it was unlikely that anyone would repair the damaged home, which was built in the 1930s.

THE FUTURE OF RIVERVIEW

Pre-demo work to begin Fencing is now up around a building slated for demolition at Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital.

BC Housing says Valleyview Pavilion — the orange building facing Lougheed Highway — is set to undergo hazardous materials abatement starting this week, prior to it being torn down by this fall.

The 57-year-old structure that, at its peak, had 328 beds for geriatric psychiatric patients, will be razed to make way for two new buildings to treat the mentally ill.

Last December, the provin-

cial government announced plans to build a 105-bed complex to replace the Centre for Mental Health and Addiction in Burnaby; another building with 38 beds will be constructed to replace the Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre and Provincial Assessment Centre.

Both buildings are currently located on the Willingdon Lands in Burnaby.

BC Housing, which is responsible for the 244-acre site, said the new buildings will be completed by spring 2019.

FRASER RIVER

Sportfishing group wants changes on Fraser River DAN FERGUSON BLACK PRESS

A newly-formed coalition of Fraser River fishing guides, recreational anglers and industry reps says the way recreational salmon fishing is managed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada must be changed to protect an industry that is worth $100 million a year to communities along the river.

The Fraser River Sportfishing Alliance (FRSA) of nine user

Date: Time: Location: Item 3

groups with more than 1,500 members issued a joint statement last Friday saying Fisheries and Oceans “often unfairly restricts access to fishing for recreational anglers.”

It listed three demands, calling on Fisheries to “manage the Fraser River salmon fishery in an equitable fashion that recognizes the rights of sport anglers,” to promise that the recreational fishing allocation of salmon should not be transferred to “another sector” and that the

“tremendous economic value of the recreational Fraser River salmon fishery… be recognized.

“A once flourishing fishery which in the past opened May 1 has been postponed to Aug. 1 with no guarantee of opening,” the statement said.

It is not the first time the different elements of the recreation fishing have tried to unite but, this time, organizers think the declining state of the fishery has had a galvanizing effect.

“It’s being eroded and it’s

the recreational allocation to another sector should not be viewed as a complaint about aboriginal fishing.

“Our fight is not with First Nations, it’s with Fisheries and Oceans” Clapton said.

Tackle industry spokesperson Fred Helmer said public education is needed to raise awareness about the value of the recreation fishing industry in Fraser River communities.

“There seems to be a real lack of understanding of the fi-

being eroded very quickly,” said Vic Cararrao, a spokesperson for fishing guides in the FRSA. “We’re basically all on the same page,” Cararrao added.

He said he would like to see catch-and-release programs or even tighter limits rather than bans.

“When you can’t go fishing, people won’t come here,” he said.

Recreational anglers spokesperson Rod Clapton said the concern about transferring

nancial value of the recreational anglers and the industry,” Helmer said.

Helmer, who operates a store in Abbotsford, said he was forced to close his original store in Chilliwack last year because of the decline in fishing.

Alliance members currently include: the BC Federation of Drift Fishers, Fraser Valley Salmon Society, Fraser Valley Angling Guides Association and Sea Run Fly and Tackle on Austin Avenue in Coquitlam.

Admins on the move

• Are you unsatisfied with your dentures?

DIANE STRANDBERG

• Unhappy with the looks?

Tri-CiTy News

More than two dozen administrators will be on the move at the end of this school year.

Many schools will be saying goodbye to vice-principals and principals, including Frank Pearse, who will be moving to Seaview elementary school in Port Moody from Birchland elementary school in Port Coquitlam, where he has been for four years, promoting community involvement in the school including the painting of a large mural.

Also moving will be Darren Macmillan, who is leaving his post as principal of Minnekhada middle, where he promoted community antivandalism programs, among other things. He will be principal of Eagle Mountain middle school in Port Moody, replacing Nancy Bennett, who is retiring.

Other notable retirements include Karen Jensen, who is retiring as principal of Port Moody secondary; Sally Maidens-Megalli, who is retiring as principal of Meadowbrook elementary; and John McCullough, who is retiring as principal of Pinetree secondary school.

Some notable district administrative appointments include Sean Della Vedova, principal of Aspenwood elementary school, to the position of principal of International Education, helping to oversee the program that has attracted record numbers of students in recent years.

Devon Ross was seconded to be principal of facilities initiatives, overseeing projects such as the construction of the new Sir Frederick Banting middle school; she will now be officially in that position as principal.

And Dave Sands, who headed up the MyEdBC student tracking program implementation after being the district’s manager of energy-saving initiatives, now becomes the principal of technology implementation.

Sands actively promotes parent involvement in their children’s use of the internet and social media.

Art, colour and community in Miller Park’s outdoor classroom DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Miller Park elementary’s courtyard and garden are a little more colourful this week with the addition of a 56-foot-long mural painted by students, staff and members of the community.

Principal Lisa Rinke said the project was designed as a way to brighten up the space and bring the Coquitlam school’s 300-member community together, including police liaison officers, custodians and administrators.

“We really wanted a yearround outdoor classroom,” explained Rinke, who said the school hired Lauren Albrice to teach the students how to paint and then design a mural around local themes.

Albrice told The Tri-City News

she took her ideas from the environment, and wanted to highlight the local mountains as well as wildflowers and natural areas.

school for a number of years, said children love going out to the courtyard, with its natural bark mulch, community planters filled with herbs and a sandbox built by School District 43

maintenance workers.

“It’s just to inspire the students,” she said, noting that over the years, benches have been added, along with a shed for tools, and several large trees give the area much-needed shade during warmer months.

“We want to create a calm and peaceful place for the kids to come and relax.”

Meanwhile, the mural is taking shape, with colourful daisies, irises and lupins being painted by students and other members of the community.

• Next door at Sir Frederick Banting middle school, plans are in the works to build a replacement because the original 50-year-old school doesn’t meet seismic requirements. Seismic upgrades were completed at Miller Park six years ago.

• Unclutter Your Life: Transforming your Physical, Mental and Emotional Space

by Katherine Gibson: Gibson covers all aspects of clutter and how it affects our lives.

We all recognize physical clutter but Gibson points out that mental clutter such as noise, work, TV and even holidays can clutter our lives. Emotional clutter such as guilt, self-doubt, money, worry and friends can also affect our ability to be organized.

It’s not easy starting a magazine.

You have to find funding and people to do the writing, editing and page layout. You have to line up a press to print the editions, then distribute them.

But somehow, School District 43’s aboriginal education department, in partnership with teens who are involved in the Aboriginal Youth Leadership Council, managed to do all this and more in less than six months.

In June, the team — led by SD43 district principal Philippe Brulot, youth worker Dannielle Batisse and teachers Anthony Marrello and Kirk Gummow — will publish a second edition of The Canoe.

The publication aims to tell a positive story about aboriginal culture and accomplishments in SD43 and Brulot says two other school districts, Mission and Surrey, have teamed up to provide articles and funding, meaning The Canoe will spread its message even further “We are teachers, we want to educate people — not just staff, teachers, children and parents.

But we want to share, we want to promote B.C. we want to talk about the good things happening in B.C.,” Brulot said.

One of the tenets of aboriginal teaching is sharing stories and The Canoe is primarily about that, Brulot said, noting there will be a section honouring local elders and articles by and about local First Nations.

Seed money for the project came from Byron Sheardown, owner of Web Express in Coquitlam, who has aboriginal ancestry. Already the first edition shows promise with articles by and about SD43 students and programs, photographs and even a cartoon strip drawn by Gummow.

The goal is to get the publication running so it’s self-sustaining, possibly with students taking over some of the layout responsibilities in addition to the articles they are already writing, said Batisse, who is tak-

Hot off the presses is The Canoe, a School District 43 magazine that aims to promote awareness and understanding of aboriginal culture and to promote the successes of students. Dannielle Batisse, a youth worker, Philippe Brulot, a district principal, and Anthony Marrello, a teacher, talk about the next issue, which is scheduled to be published mid-June. ing a course in the pagination program Adobe InDesign.

And with more school districts coming on board, The Canoe has grown from 16 pages and 1,000 printed editions to 32 pages and 15,000 copies to be distributed widely in the three school districts.

An international perspective is also being considered, said Brulot, who is talking with the publisher of an Australian publication, National Indigenous Times, to share content.

Eventually, The Canoe could be the start of a locally-developed course, with students getting college credit for participating.

Brulot, whose most recent post before coming to SD43 in November was superintendent of the Nass Valley School District, said The Canoe reflects the principles of the Truth and

Clutter and CRUD can clog up your life continued from page 25

• Throw Out Fifty Things: Clear the Clutter, Find your Life by Gail Blanke: The premise of this book of roomby-room de-cluttering advice from columnist and motivator Blanke is that getting rid of 50 things will be the catalyst to get you going on a complete purge of things physical and emotional. Does the item take up room and give you nothing in return? Don’t make it a big deal — take it one drawer or shelf at a time. Blanke acknowledges that deciding is hard. She talks a great deal about how your possessions make you feel; for example, does an item of clothing make you feel good and look forward to wearing it or does it cause a feeling of dread?

That makes it easy to decide whether to keep or toss.

• Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight: The Six-Week Total-Life Slim Down by Peter Walsh: This book is a bit different in that it offers a scientific explanation for the links between clutter and weight. Walsh offers psychological, biological and nutritional science ideas that will put readers on the

right track to lose physical weight as well as personal clutter. The author explains, stepby-step, how clutter, diet and food choices, lack of exercise and lack of focus can lead to weight gain. The book outlines a six-week program that will give you the tools to look at your habits and yourself, and make some important life changes.

• Good Riddance: Showing Clutter the Door by Susan Borax and Heather Knittel: The authors run a successful organizing business and are well-known for their informative and humorous

workshops and presentations.

They provide the motivation to rid yourself of what they call CRUD (completely ridiculous useless debris) and specialize in helping families downsize.

Absolutely worth reading.

• Secrets of an Organized Mom by Barbara Reich: Knowing that moms are run off their feet trying to keep the family and home organized, this author breaks things down into four manageable parts.

Once you have Purged what is not needed, Design a place for the things you want to keep.

Organize these items in their correct places and Maintain this great new organized life by not allowing the clutter to return. Great tips for moving house and travel as well.

You can see that many of the authors suggest a correlation between clutter and one’s emotional and physical wellbeing, so get rid of the CRUD, move out of Junkerville and start living the clean, organized life you deserve.

And it all begins at your local library.

A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Irene Jakse works at Port Moody Public Library.

Portrait master makes her mark DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

In a two-bedroom apartment off Como Lake Avenue in Coquitlam, Svetlana Pugachova paints portraits and abstracts that have the depth, beauty and detail of European classical paintings.

Each night, when her boys, Maxim, seven, and Vlad, six, and husband, Ruslan, are in bed, Pugachova gets out her easel, her canvas and her oil paints, turns on some easy-listening music and gets to work.

Her detailed portraits are something you’d expect to see in a gallery in Holland, where some of her paintings hang.

Of late, she has been exploring abstract painting, layering swaths of colour on a canvas, in what she says is an emotional expression of what she sees in nature.

“I love Canada. I love the nature. I’ve wanted to come to Canada since I was 15,” Pugachova says.

In 2007, when she and her husband decided to immigrate for a better life and a more promising future, her dream came true.

The couple set down roots in Coquitlam, and now that the boys are in school, Pugachova is ready to get back to work as an artist.

But it hasn’t been that easy.

First, Pugachova is still learning English and, second, she doesn’t have any connections to the Canadian art world like she did in the Ukraine, where she spent 20 years developing her painting career.

In Europe, she exhibited in popular galleries, illustrated books, had articles written about her work and could teach art history.

Here, she is starting from scratch.

Still, Pugachova’s credentials are impressive.

She graduated from the Dnipropetrovsk School of Art in 1995 and from the Faculty of Art and History of Culture of the Dnipropetrovsk State University in 2000.

Her works are in private collections in Holland, Italy, Australia, Turkey and Syria.

But here in Canada, Pugachova says she has work to do to find out what

Svetlana Pugachova (in a portrait with her husband) is a Ukrainian-born artist who moved to Canada and is restarting her career now that her two boys are in school. She is a well-known fine artist in Europe but is looking to get her name known here in the Tri-Cities, where she lives.

Downtown Port Coquitlam will come alive with dancing, music and the smell of rich cuisine on Sunday.

The Polonez Tri-City Polish Association hosts its annual Polish Culture & Heritage Day at Leigh Square Community Arts Village, starting with a reception at 11 a.m. The party runs from noon to 9 p.m. and includes entertainment from folk dance groups from Port Coquitlam and Chicago as well as a Victoria-based band. Admission is free.

BELL TALK

Mixed-media artist Linda Bell will conclude the season for the Art Focus Artists’ Association in Port Coquitlam tonight (Wednesday).

Bell, who experiments with stamps, stencils and bold colours, will give a free talk about her skill in The Outlet at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village (behind PoCo city hall) at 7 p.m.

Bell has signature status with the Federation of Canadian Artists and her work has appeared in publications, TV series, advertisements and movies.

STREET ART

Banners that decorated Port Coquitlam streets last year are now for sale.

The city is selling the beautification banners until June 30 at $5 each at The Outlet in Leigh Square Community Arts Village (behind PoCo city hall).

Canadians like.

“I am working on getting my name known,” she said, noting that Canadians seem to prefer abstract paintings, with a lot of colour and emotion.

“Canadians want to look and have an impression right away: A splash of colour, maybe more colourful.”

Much of her training is in portraiture, having learned classical techniques from a restoration painter.

The tradition is not wellestablished here although Pugachova would like to change that.

She works from a quality photo that she takes, visiting the subject for the final details, especially the eyes, and believes portraits are a way to reflect the uniqueness of each individual.

Plus they can last 300 years and be passed on through the generations.

“These are family treasures,” says Pugachova, who has done portraits of her boys, as well as herself and her husband, including one fun portrait that looks like a Gainsborough of The Blue Boy fame, in which she has carefully rendered the youngsters in 18th-century clothing.

Today, Pugachova is taking a pragmatic look at her craft. She is on Facebook and Instagram and is hoping to meet artists already working in the Tri-Cities.

So if you do see her at Como Lake or Mundy Park with her two boys, a camera in hand, and her husband along for the walk, be sure to stop and say hello.

Casino theatre renamed for Molson Canadian beer

MARIO BARTEL PHOTO

Port Moody secondary graduate Joel McCarthy, right, and Nach Dudsdeemaytha are two-thirds of the creative force behind This Is A Spoon Studios in New Westminster. The young filmmakers just won a $10,000 Storyhive grant from Telus to produce a pilot for a possible TV series.

FILM

Storyhive project hits close to home MARIO BARTEL SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Joel and Rachel have just discovered they’re pregnant.

The only problem is — well, actually there’s several problems: Joel is an ambitious young filmmaker who’s not sure how fatherhood will fit into his career plans. And Rachel prefers the company of women.

If that sounds like the setup for a primetime sitcom, it could soon be.

It’s also Joel McCarthy’s real life.

McCarthy, 25, is a filmmaker who attended Port Moody secondary school.

His friend, Rachel Kirkpatrick, is pregnant with their child.

And as they kept explaining the nuances of their non-traditional relationship to friends and family and planned to navigate their impending parenthood, they realized they had the seeds for a pretty funny story.

“I’ve got the ability to find things before they’re funny,” said McCarthy, a Capilano University film grad. “I realize when life is funny.”

McCarthy operates This is a Spoon Studios in New Westminster with two of his fellow grads, Nach Dudsdeemaytha and Charles Chen. They pay the bills by shooting corporate videos and travel documentaries in places like Peru, Morocco, India and Panama for non-profit organizations.

But their passion is turning their own personal adventures into crazy narratives.

Their first feature, a documentary called Taking My

Port Moody grad Joel McCarthy Parents to Burning Man, followed the foibles of a colleague, Bryant Boesen, as he took his parents to the Burning Man festival, an annual ritual of debauchery, music , mindaltering substances and fire in the middle of the Nevada desert. They endured a brokendown RV and party-hearty travelling companions. They were rewarded with accolades on the festival circuit.

Their second feature, Shooting the Musical, is a nobudget mockumentary about a group of film school grads trying to produce the most offensive film of all time. It was shot with a crew of volunteers on the sly at local schools after McCarthy submitted fake scripts to gain approvals from administrators. It’ll be released in August.

“I’m not exactly proud of how we got it done,” McCarthy said. “But it’s hard to sue people with so little.”

McCarthy, Chen and a couple of buddies also produced a web series called Average Dicks and they recently participated in the Crazy 8’s competition that challenges filmmakers to deliver a finished project in just eight days.

But Inconceivable will be their most ambitious effort

to date. It’s also the first time the’ll have a budget they didn’t have to beg, borrow or crowdfund.

That’s because they just learned their pitch for Inconceivable won a $10,000 grant from Storyhive, an initiative by Telus to help up-andcoming filmmakers get passion projects off the ground. The money will allow them to hire real actors to play the autobiographical parts as well as give them the freedom from financing concerns to develop, write and produce the script for the 10-minute pilot by July 27, which could evolve into a fiveepisode series or more.

“It’s going to free us up to get access to the things we need,” said McCarthy.

Their entry into the competition almost didn’t happen.

McCarthy and Didsdeemaytha didn’t create their one-minute video pitch until just before the deadline.

Once submitted, they spent a solid week on social media getting out the vote.

Now that their project has been green lit, McCarthy faces the reality of spinning his own awkward life situation into comedic gold.

“It’s going to end up hitting close to home,” said McCarthy.

“It’s going to be about the pressure a lot of creative people feel between having security versus keep creating to push their career forward.”

Hopefully, he said, his own life will follow the latter path.

After all, he’s got a lifetime of fodder to fuel his ideas.

“It’s easier when you have so much source material,” said McCarthy. “We’re just a group of nerds. A lot of what we do is like summer camp.”

A Coquitlam theatre that was once named after a legendary Vancouver DJ is now representing a beer company.

Last month, Great Canadian Gaming Corp.

(GCGC) quietly rebranded its Hard Rock Casino Vancouver venue as the Molson Canadian Theatre.

Raj Mutti, executive director of regional operations, told The Tri-City News last week that the partnership “allows us to provide our guests with an exclusive access to Molson products”; however, while there was a financial incentive to the renaming, Mutti was mum on the details.

The deal is for five years.

Mutti said he hasn’t heard any negative feedback about the rebranding.

In 2013, an online petition circulated after GCGC removed Red Robinson’s name from the 1,000-seat theatre (the move came after Boulevard Casino was revamped as Hard Rock).

Among those who signed the petition included fellow radio personality Terry David Mulligan and crooner Michael Buble, who opened Boulevard Casino in 2002.

LECTURE

40TH

THE 2016 ANNUAL

Picture-perfect fare JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Tina Albrecht was in Hanoi in February when, on the last day of her visit, the hotel concierge recommended she try one of the city’s famous joints for bun cha.

She and her partner hopped on the back of a scooter, which led them to an alleyway in the Vietnamese capital, dotted with plastic tables and chairs and diners lined up against the wall eating the famous dish.

There was a small grill fired up to cook the pork and the herbs in the air gave off an aroma Albrecht won’t soon forget.

“There was something about that atmosphere, to be so close to their culture and them making the food right there. The experience made that meal so special.”

As a graphic designer, photographer and co-founder of Acorn — a collaborative magazine that investigates food culture around the world — Albrecht has many opportunities to look for out-of-the-way haunts in the quest for a great meal.

And on Friday, she and fel-

CONTEST

The Tri-City News is giving away two tickets to the May 27 talk at Place des Arts. Email: jwarren@ tricitynews.com to enter. low food shutterbug and traveller Joann Pai, a Vancouver native who now lives in Paris, will talk in Coquitlam about their visual storytelling as well as the art of food photos, including how to capture an image using a mobile device.

Albrecht, whom Pai met after following her via Instagram (@bittadesign), said the pair will speak about how the average person can up their ante using photo editing tricks such as filters, white balance and sharpening tools.

The best food picture usually involves natural light to bring out shapes and textures.

But Albrecht also suggests food photographers pay attention to the details surrounding a meal. Is the area around the plate clean? Is there something in the way that will spoil the ambience? “Those are the

things we don’t think of until after we’ve taken the picture and we show it to friends and family,” she said.

Albrecht also recommends the photo have a narrative to evoke sentiment and display why the meal was worth capturing.

For a group dinner, there needs to be people in the picture to portray the party spirit; however, for a show-stopping plate, there can’t be any distractions: Just the cuisine in its finest form, she said.

Albrecht said food is important because it can stir up strong emotions. A smell can take you back to your grandmother’s kitchen or a certain dish can make your mouth water. “Food photography can certainly work up those feelings,” she said.

• Tickets for Tina Albrecht and Joann Pai’s lecture at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam) on May 27 are $5 via brownpapertickets.com or by calling 604-664-1636.

WLA LACROSSE

Johnson propels A’s to victory Adanacs take down New West in home opener GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Adanacs registered 34 shots during its victory over the New Westminster Salmonbellies.

Nine of those came off the stick of Ryan Johnson.

The 6’2”, 200 lb. sniper was all over the floor during the Western Lacrosse Association club’s season home opener Saturday night, scoring two goals and an assist in the process and being named first star for his effort.

His back-to-back markers — one of which was scored on the power play — came at a crucial point in the game for the A’s.

Five minutes into the second period, the club briefly held the lead but New Westminster quickly tied things up and appeared to be surging.

However, Johnson put an end to the opponent’s offensive efforts when he buried pass from Justin Da Silva to give his team a 4-3 lead before adding an insurance marker, this time setup by Brian Gillis, to give his team a bit of a cushion going into the final period.

A’s runner Matthew Delmonico scored on the power play in the third and a goal from Gillis later in the period helped Coquitlam to its 7-5 win, the first victory of the season for the club.

Earlier in the match, Coquitlam’s Ryan Mcmichael opened the scoring, while Jordan Catton and Greg Howren both netted goals earlier in the second period.

• Info: www.wlalacrosse. com Meanwhile, A’s goalie Dan Lewis was stellar between the pipes, turning away 29 of the 34 shots he faced for a 0.853 save percentage. The performance was good enough to name 27-year-old netminder the second star of the game.

Eric Penney, who also had a strong game in net for New Westminster, was named third star of the game, while Bellies runner Sean Lundstrom led the team in scoring with two goals.

After the first week of the Western Lacrosse Association season, Coquitlam is in the middle of the standings with a 1-1 record. They are also the only club to have two games under their belt.

The Victoria Shamrocks, the Maple Ridge Burrard and the Burnaby Lakers are above the A’s with 1-0 records, while the Bellies, the Langley Thunder and the Nanaimo Timbermen are below Coquitlam with 0-1 records.

The Adanacs are hoping to keep the momentum going this week when the club is scheduled to host the Langley Thunder Saturday night at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Face off is at 7 p.m. sports@tricitynews.com

2016 national title.

“We are so proud to bring the gold medal back home to B.C.,” said head coach Joe

Quewezance. “The hard work, dedication and the team dynamics were all incredible.

Each year we are impressed by

Team Manitoba.

The semifinal thriller ended when Duncan’s Keenan Eddy scored two minutes into overtime giving B.C. a 3-2 victory.

The gold medal game was a rematch against Team North that saw Team BC dominate the game.

With a full team effort both offensively and defensively, the squad shutout their opponents 3-0.

Delorme, a 16-year-old forward with the club, plays

the number of young talented Aboriginal hockey players in B.C. Once the team was selected, we were confident our team was going to be a strong contender.”

Team BC advanced from the round robin portion of the tourney ranked first overall with convincing wins over Team Atlantic, Team Alberta and Team North. In the quarterfinals, Team BC beat Saskatchewan 6-2, earning a spot in the semi-finals against

with the Northeast Coquitlam Chiefs in the B.C. Major Midget League.

Team BC’s defenceman Jeremy Gervais was awarded player of the game for the gold medal game while defenceman Austin Crossley was named a 2016 NAHC Tournament All-Star. Team B.C.’s Jake Gudjonson was awarded Most Sportsmanlike for the tournament. sports@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
