EDUCATION HONOURS

Kyme Wegrich, a School District 43 teacher at Walton elementary, has received the 2018 National Inclusive Education Award for her unique teaching style: page 16

Hundreds of Grade 12 students from high schools across School District 43 are about to be feted at dry graduation events that will celebrate an important life milestone while also keeping them safe.

And while some might say it’s the parents who should be getting a pat on the back for helping get their kids through school, in fact, it’s the parents who will be organizing — and fundraising for — these epic celebrations.

For many parents, it’s the last fundraiser after years of helping with school, sports and academic pursuits — a year-end finale that is part Hollywood red carpet gala and part thrilling amusement park.

“This is when parents step up and get very involved,” acknowledged assistant superintendent Rob Zambrano, formerly the principal of Centennial secondary who has seen hundreds of students graduate over the years. see Dry graD, page 14

MS WALK AT ROCKY POINT PARK

PoMo walk raises money for MS McLennan hopes to raise $7,000 for this Sunday’s walk GRANT GRANGER THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Geoff McLennan will try to avoid stepping in a rabbit hole during Sunday’s MS Walk at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody. But even though he’s raising money for multiple sclerosis research, a disease he’s had for a decade, he avoids the metaphorical “rabbit hole” of keeping tabs on the testing.

“I try not pay too much attention with the research.

When I first was diagnosed, friends and relatives would email me constantly what was going on,” says McLennan, who as of Thursday morning had raised the most money ($4,181) of participants registered for Sunday’s event.

He believes he’s better off to not go down what he calls a “rabbit hole” by tracking experimental treatments and potential cures. The confusion caused by wading through the complex experimental information is just too overwhelming.

“I do believe the science gets better and better, but mentally a big part of coping with the disease is that my mental state is taken care of,”

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Geoff McLennan takes in the view from Rocky Point Park in Port Moody where the MS Walk begins on Sunday. McLennan has had the disease for about 10 years. says McLennan, 37.

It’s been confusing from the start. When the New Westminster real estate agent first lost feeling in his left arm the doctors thought it was a pinched nerve. So did he. His girlfriend at the time, now

his wife, Rachel, wasn’t buying that diagnosis, though.

A second doctor said it was stress. No sale on that one either. “That’s ridiculous,” said Rachel, who encouraged him to go to UBC Hospital’s MS Clinic Centre for Brain Health.

They did a CT scan which was “kind of scary.” It revealed a shadow that was thought might be brain cancer. But an MRI and spinal tap showed it was MS. Still scary, but not as much.

MS is an autoimmune dis-

ease that attacks the brain and spinal cord. It’s unpredictable and can cause many symptoms including lack of coordination, extreme fatigue and vision and bladder problems.

Canada has one of the highest MS rates in the world with an

estimated 1 in 340 living with the disease.

McLennan’s symptoms include fatigue, numbness in his feet and arms, and tightness around his stomach, as if he’s wearing a shirt that’s two sizes too small.

“It comes and goes. One of the hardest things actually for me has been finding a treatment that works for me. I have bad reactions to most of the medication I’ve been on. So I’m in the process now of finding what the next medication would be,” says McLennan.

“The doctors at UBC and the MS Society have been really great to me, so it’s nice to do something positive to give something back. I’m pretty lucky, too. I’m able to work.”

His goal for Sunday is $7,000. He fetched close to $6,000 in his first try last year.

As of Thursday, more than $32,000 had been raised for the Tri-Cities walk with a goal of $40,000. So far 29 teams — the top team fundraiser is MS Lessionaries with almost $4,400 — and 182 walkers have registered for the twoand five-kilometre walks. A wheelchair accessible route is also available. Check-in time is 9 a.m., with the walk starting at 10:30. More information is available online at mswalks.ca. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

HAWTHORNE FOUNDATION

Seniors housing will benefit from Hawthorne fundraiser 125 tickets will be sold for June 2 fundraising event JANIS CLEUGH

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Valentine’s Day fundraiser for the Heart of Hawthorne Foundation will switch to a spring gala this year for the Port Coquitlam Seniors’ Housing Society.

Foundation chairperson Bonnie Van Drimmelen, who heads up the charity that raises operating funds for the Hawthorne Seniors Care Community, said her group wanted a fresh start for its biggest annual event following the completion of the capital campaign.

Rather than holding it at the PoCo Inn and Suites, as in past years for the Feb. 14-themed bash, the spring gala will be sited in the eating area of Hawthorne Lodge.

“We’re going to move the tables and have it all decorated up,” said Van Drimmelen during a tour of the space this month. “It’s going to look great.”

A total of 125 tickets will be sold at a cost of $75 each (or $750 for a VIP table of eight guests), which will include a buffet dinner — prepared in-house by Hawthorne chefs — music and dancing as well as live and silent auction items to bid on.

Among the live auction prizes up for grabs are: a stay for two at Harrison Hot Springs, an Apple watch, art-

work and tickets to a BC Lions game.

There will also be awards for best hats.

Van Drimmelen, whose husband Walter runs the PoCo Seniors’ Housing Society, said the volunteer-run foundation hopes to collect $10,000 at the gala.

“We want to improve the residents quality of life,” she said. “After all, you never know if you or someone you know will need to be here one day.”

• For tickets to the Heart of Hawthorne spring gala on June 2 — held at the Hawthorne Seniors Care Community (2111 Hawthorne Ave., Port Coquitlam) — call Kim Egli at 604-468-5012, email kegli@ hawthornecare.com or visit hawthornecare.com.

BIKE TO WORK WEEK

Security a concern when biking to work Bike to Work Week runs from May 28 to June 3 Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

Bike to Work Week, from May 28 to June 3, is meant to promote the benefits and ease of cycle commuting. But what to do with your bike once you get to your destination?

Navdeep Chhina, the communications director for HUB, a cycling advocacy group, admits a fear of bike theft is an obstacle that causes some commuters to leave their ride at home and use the car instead.

But as more people express an interest in using their bike to get to work, employers, communities and even TransLink are taking steps to ease those fears by providing more security for bikes and cyclists are being presented with more proactive options beyond just heavy U-locks to ensure their ride is still waiting for them at the end of the work day.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Douglas College built a secure bike storage area in 2014 at both its Coquitlam and New Westminster campuses.

“It begins with infrastructure,” Chhina said. “If you have it, then people feel safe and they will bike.”

In 2014, Douglas College built secure bike enclosures in the underground parkades at its Coquitlam and New Westminster campuses.

Students and employees can register free of charge to access the facilities, which feature

racks for 50 bikes, small lockers to store gear, an air pump and even a work stand and tools to affect simple repairs or adjustments. Video surveillance adds an extra layer of security.

Debora Jackson, the manager of facilities services at the Coquitlam campus, said the lockup can be a busy place on a nice spring day, but it’s rarely filled to capacity. She said the

school’s close proximity to transit and Coquitlam’s hilly terrain might work against bike commuting by staff and students.

For bike commuters looking to cover greater distances by incorporating transit into their ride, TransLink is increasing the number of bike parkades at its SkyTrain stations, including three scheduled to open

in 2019 in the Tri-Cities, at Lafarge Lake-Douglas, Moody Centre and Burquitlam stations. Those are in addition to the three that already exist at Joyce-Collingwood, Main Street-Science World and King George stations with another three coming this year. Some stations also have bike lockers — small, secure cubbies that can be reserved by cyclists.

Chris Bryan, a senior media relations advisor for TransLink, said 1,207 people are registered to use the 220 spaces currently available in the parkades, each of which has a capacity of 40 bikes. He said July, August and September were the busiest months for their use last year.

“Bike parkades help make cycling an attractive option for more people,” Bryan said.

Cpl. Michael McLaughlin of the Coquitlam RCMP said his department is always available to consult with employers about options for providing secure facilities for bike commuters.

“One of the first things you can do is go to the local community police stations and ask for help,” he said.

Police can then conduct a

thorough environment assessment of the business to provide guidance about the best place to set up secure bike lock-ups.

“The more secure you can make bike storage, the better,” McLaughlin said.

But McLauglin cautioned that even an indoor bike parkade can provide a false sense of security as they can be breached by resourceful miscreants. So cyclists have to be proactive to protect their ride.

That can begin by taking a photo of the bike and recording its serial number so police can keep an eye out for it should it ever go missing.

Bike registry programs like Project 529 Garage also work with police departments to create a database of stolen and missing bikes.

McLaughlin said the local RCMP hasn’t aligned itself with that service because of the cost involved to the department and “bike theft isn’t significant enough of a problem in Coquitlam for us to make that initial investment.”

McLaughlin, an avid recreational cyclist himself, said the best security for any cyclist is to always keep their bike nearby.

PORT MOODY

PoMo council seeks end to Murray street ‘chaos’ Mayor Clay says complaints in the area increasing Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody council wants to see traffic problems on Murray Street at Rocky Point Park fixed as soon as possible, ideally before summer crowds clog the area with cars and pedestrians.

At its meeting Tuesday, council directed staff to report back with the costs and timeline to implement a number of changes by July to improve the movement of cars at the Moody roundabout and Murray Street intersection as well as at the entrances to the

parking lot for Rocky Point Park, while also making it safer for pedestrians crossing between the park and Brewers Row. In a report presented to council, Mayor Mike Clay said the growing popularity of the area, combined with more development to the east in the Klahanie and Suter Brook neighbourhoods, has led to heavy congestion and greater frustration among motorists and pedestrians.

“The number of complaints and concerns from residents around the Moody Street/ Murray Street intersection have increased dramatically over the past few years,” Clay said in his report.

He said the nice spring weather on recent weekends

has already caused “chaos” and with the full range of summer programming at the park, like festivals, concerts, children’s summer camps, as well as sailing, kayaking and swimming lessons, yet to begin, “conditions will continue to deteriorate.”

In his report, Clay identified several ideas for improvement including: • adding a traffic signal at the eastern entrance to the Rocky Point Park parking lot; • moving the pedestrian crossing at that entrance to the western end of the parking lot, near the Moody overpass; • reprogramming the pedestrian signal with a delay to allow vehicles to move through instead of the current signal which activates immediately

Get Ready to Ride!

when pedestrians push the button; • signalized traffic control at the intersection of Murray Street and the Moody roundabout, instead of the current yield sign that Clay said causes confusion; • and adding a “Yield to oncoming left turn” sign for motorists heading westbound on Murray Street at the Moody Street intersection.

Clay said while most of those changes have already been identified in the city’s master transportation plan, the city can no longer wait to implement them because the entrance area of the parking lot is becoming dangerous.

“We need to say we need this area fixed and we want it done now,” he said.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Moving the pedestrian crossing on Murray Street from the east end of the Rocky Point Park parking lot to the west end, and giving it a delay to allow traffic to flow through better, are two of the five proposals Port Moody council wants city staff to investigate for implementation before summer to improve the movement of cars and pedestrian safety in the area.

POLICE

RCMP investigating voyeurism incident CONSTRUCTION NOTICE Royal Columbian Hospital FRASER HEALTH

The Coquitlam RCMP are investigating an alleged case of voyeurism after an incident involving a seven-year-old girl was reported Tuesday afternoon.

Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said police arrived on scene at a store in the 1300 block of United Boulevard at 4:30 p.m. after receiving a complaint that a man had been filming children with his phone. However, he added that details of the investigation are not being released.

McLaughlin is also warning people not to post photos or details about a crime on social media because it could hamper the police investigation.

A Facebook post was posted after the event, which stated the man was caught with a cellphone containing pictures of children.

“Some of the information in the post I’ve seen is incorrect,” McLaughlin said. “There is also issues with Charter rights showing people’s faces, which could be an issue when it comes to trial.”

He recommends that when dealing with a crime in progress that people call police to investigate rather than post their concerns on social media.

However, he confirmed that the allegation is that a phone

was used to surreptitiously record a child.

A 69-year-old Surrey man was arrested and has been released pending the outcome of the investigation.

ON THE WATER

RCMP are warning boaters to be aware of potentially deadly carbon monoxide gas build-up in vessels after two children lost consciousness in a cabin during an excursion to Indian Arm on the long weekend.

While returning to a North Vancouver marina Monday, the children, aged 7 and 10, went down below in the cabin of the boat while three adults stayed up on the outer deck.

At approximately 9 p.m., one of the parents checked on the children and found them groggy and unresponsive. They were quickly brought up into the fresh air where they regained consciousness.

Emergency personnel met the boat at the marina where the two children were given oxygen and taken to the local hospital, where they were assessed and released.

They are expected to make a full recovery.

A preliminary investigation shows that carbon monoxide had leaked from the inboard

engine compartment into the cabin where the children where resting, according to North Vancouver RCMP. “Thankfully this incident did not end up more tragic than what it did,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong in a press release.

“This week is National Safe Boating Awareness Week and police are reminding all boaters to be safety minded while on the water — especially being aware of carbon monoxide poisoning.”

Carbon monoxide is a potentially deadly gas produced anytime a carbon-based fuel, such as gasoline, propane, charcoal or oil burns.

Cold or poorly tuned engines produce more carbon monoxide than warm, properly tuned engines. Installing a carbon monoxide detector in each accommodation space on your boat is a good safety measure. Do not confuse carbon monoxide poisoning with seasickness, intoxication or heat stress. If someone on board complains of irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness or dizziness, immediately move the person to fresh air.

The best precaution against carbon monoxide poisoning is to keep fresh air flowing through the vessel.

East Columbia Street

from Sherbrooke Street to Keary Street MAY TO JULY 2018 (EXTENDED)

What’s Happening Bird Construction will be excavating East Columbia Street for a Royal Columbian Hospital IT and utilities pathway and for City of New Westminster power during May and June.

Starting the week of May 21 excavation starts in and near the Sherbrooke Street intersection. Initially small excavations within the intersection will occur intermittently over a two week period for water main tie-ins. Then for about one week more extensive excavation will occur both in the intersection and the east (northbound) lane of East Columbia Street near the intersection. Construction hours are 9am to 3pm Mon. to Sat., except holidays.

Starting around mid-June (NEW DATE) the east (northbound) bike lane and east sidewalk of East Columbia Street will be excavated. Work will start at Sherbrooke Street and progress southward, in sections, to Keary Street.

Construction hours will be 7am-7pm Mon. to Sat., except holidays.

Bird Construction will endeavour to minimize the construction’s impact, noise, dust, and disruption to neighbours. Thank you for your patience.

The Impact To You Drivers should expect delays, but two-way traffic will be maintained along East Columbia Street.

• Drivers will share the northbound (east) lane with cyclists.

Please watch for bicyclists.

• In May Sherbrooke Street will have single lane alternating traffic for a week near the East Columbia Street intersection.

Sidewalks will be closed to pedestrians in sections on the east (hospital) side of the street.

AT THE LIBRARY

Power Up Your Child This Summer

PoCo’s Terry Fox Library loans books, movies and... telescopes?

GRANT GRANGER THE TRI-CITY NEWS

How about a trip to the library to borrow a book, a movie and a telescope?

Wait, what? A telescope?

Yes, a telescope. And they’re lining up at the Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL), which includes the Terry Fox branch in Port Coquitlam, to take one home to zoom in on the stars at night instead of reading a book in bed.

The library started lending out telescopes last month as part of its Playground and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) programs.

“We have at least 600 people who are interested in our telescopes right now. It’s been a tremendous response from the public,” said Heather Scoular, FVRL director of customer experience. “There’s nothing like seeing (stars) through a telescope. It’s just phenomenal.”

Scoular said the stars seemed to align for the program when the Mission Heritage Association, which counts some astronomy fanatics amongst its membership, donated seven telescopes to the library. The library loved the idea because it fit in so well with its science emphasis.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Kimberley Constable, the manager of the Terry Fox library in Port Coquitlam, checks out the view through one of the telescopes the library is offering for loan.

“It’s definitely ticked all the boxes with the telescope program,” said Scoular. “We’re going to support people on their astronomical journey.”

Since the association’s donation the library has rounded up more telescopes and now has almost 70 of varying capabilities in its collection.

Although she’s heard of telescope lending in the Maritimes “we’re definitely the first in British Columbia and probably in Western Canada,” Scoular said. “Libraries are places of

experiences. They can happen with a book, they can happen with a telescope.”

The telescopes come with instructions and library staff will also help out. Scoular, who has always been fascinated by astronauts, has even taken a telescope home herself and set it up in her backyard.

“It was wonderful,” she said.

“The instructions were so easy.

I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was amazing.”

Scoular added the telescopes will be available for a

two- to three-week loan period depending on the demand at the time. So far the demand has been high throughout the system and Port Coquitlam is no exception.

About 20 PoCo residents got a telescope tutorial at Terry Fox from UBC astronomer Christa van Laerhoven last month. It made the instruments the star of the show, so to speak, at the branch, which like all the others, has a waiting list to borrow one.

“People are really excited about it,” said Kimberley Constable, manager of the Terry Fox branch. “There’s obviously an excitement and desire in the community to have that type of equipment.”

Although a telescope isn’t something a lot of libraries lend out, Constable was more than receptive to the idea.

“You really have to expand your mind. The library is so much more than books. It has been for decades,” she said.

FVRL’s Playground also lends out other STEAM experiences like app-enabled robotic balls and ukuleles, while inlibrary experiences include virtual reality, makey makeys (invention kits) and green screens. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Richardson seeks board seat

WIKI COMMONS

Morgan Freeman will no longer be the voice of TransLink’s ‘Tap to Pay’ promotion after allegations were made against the 80-yearold actor Thursday.

The race for Port Coquitlam school trustee is heating up with a second candidate throwing their hat in the ring.

This week Bruce Richardson, a retired School District 43 electrical foreman, announced his bid for one of two PoCo trustee seats in the Oct. 20 civic election.

In a press release, Richardson stated his years as an SD43 employee have provided him with the experience to understand how the policies and practices of trustees impact education.

Among his concerns, the

press release states, is the current remuneration package for school trustees, which RICHARDSON is the highest among trustees in the province and is based on averages of Tri-City council salaries, and trustees’ participation in trips to China, paid for by Hanban, the Chinese education authority.

Richardson’s community work includes his role as president of the Port Coquitlam

Event Society, his post as director on the board for the annual Port Coquitlam Car Show and membership in the New West Salmonbellies board of directors.

He is the second candidate for Port Coquitlam school trustee. Recently Christine Pollock, a retired SD43 education assistant, announced her candidacy for the four-year post.

NEW HORIZONS

Tri-City groups working on projects led — or inspired — by seniors have until June

15 to apply for federal government funding.

Last week, CoquitlamPort Coquitlam MP Ron McKinnon called on eligible organizations to request the cash via the New Horizons For Seniors Program (NHSP).

Community-based projects that help vulnerable seniors, focus on diversity and promote volunteerism can receive up to $25,000. And new for this year, groups that haven’t benefitted from NHSP money in the past five years can get up to $5,000 under a new small grants pilot project.

SKYTRAIN

TransLink puts hold on marketing effort TransLink has suspended a plan to play voice announcements by Morgan Freeman promoting a new ‘Tap to Pay’ feature after serious allegations were made in the news media this week against the the 80 year-old Visa pitchman.

In a statement released to local media Thursday, including The Tri-City News, TransLink says it is responding to allegations in a CNN story that Freeman harassed multiple women.

The statement reads: “In light of information we’ve learned through news stories this morning of serious allegations against actor Morgan Freeman, TransLink has decided to pause his voice announcements as part of a Visa ad campaign on the transit system. We will be in touch with Visa to discuss further.”

The marketing campaign featuring Freeman’s voice announcements had been scheduled to start on June 4.

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

A helping hand

a

Port Moody woman who stayed on the line speaking to a distraught man until the RCMP arrived shows how compassion can save lives.

Christina Morris was recently honoured by the Coquitlam RCMP for her patience and understanding when a routine day at her animal shelter job turned into crisis management.

How many of us could be so patient and understanding?

How many of us would step in with CPR or a defibrillator if someone had a heart attack?

What makes Morris’ story so compelling is that she is just an average person but she got involved in a risky situation, staying on the line long enough to ensure the safety of the caller.

Many other people would think “it’s not my problem” and simply hang up, without giving this struggling individual another moment’s notice.

Thankfully there are people like Christina Morris, who are willing to go beyond their everyday lives to make sure others live to their full potential.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:

would you get involved in an emergency if it meant saving a person’s life?

last week’s question:

are you interested in seeing the wedding between prince harry and meghan markle?

THE WEST COAST

The definitive Redneck’s Guide to Eating Sushi I f you’ve grown up in Metro vancouver, you may not realize what an oddity the sushi thing is for many people from other parts of the country.

I grew up in a small prairie town where there were only two types of fish available: triangle and rectangle, and both were prepared by a multi-talented fellow who also apparently drove the boat. Cheers to you, Capt. High Liner. for us landlocked folk, sushi was like some made-up joke food that you’d andy prest never actually eat, like frogs’ legs or caviar or vegetables. Raw fish? Gross. No thank you, I’ll have a T-bone steak, still mooing, please and thank you.

You can get sushi in many other parts of the country now but that doesn’t mean you should. obviously things are different out here, where municipal bylaws stipulate that you must never be more than six city blocks away from kappa maki.

I first tried sushi when I was 24. It tasted like salt and fear.

Contrast that with my North Shore-born children, who have been eating sushi since they were nine months old.

Here’s the weird part, though: Just by living here for the past deDelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

cade or so, I now am Iron Chef Sushi compared to my friends and relatives from the prairies. Just last week, another one of my friends came out here and mustered the courage to try the west coast sushi experience, asking me to be his guide.

Going through that process made me realize there are still many good folks for whom sushi remains a mystery. for them, I came up with is this handy cheat sheet: The Redneck’s Guide to Sushi.

• Price: before you walk in the door for your first sushi experience, make sure you are going to a place that is suitably cheap. all sushi in vancouver is pretty good and it all tastes mostly the same to those with untrained palettes, so don’t bother trying to find some fancy sushi joint where they expect you to pay real restaurant prices.

When you get to vancouver, just walk 50 paces in any direction and you are guaranteed to bump into a man with sharp knives and a white hat who will sell you good sushi for a cheap price.

• Miso soup: from the Japanese words “miso,” meaning “me so,” and “soup,” meaning “salty.” Many sushi orders first come with a bowl that contains two bits of green floaties and three cubes of tofu trapped inside a weird broth within a broth that expands and contracts like a lava lamp. as far as I know, miso is purely decorative.

• Tempura: from the Japanese words “tempe,” meaning “fried,” and “ura,” meaning “stuff,” this is some easy-to-eat food that can ease even the most timid landlubbers into the sushi experience.

Heck, prawn tempura is so yummy and unchallenging it could almost be called regular food.

• Rolls: Now you’re ready for the real deal. The rolls are where the adventure begins — and may end for newbies. They are made with a seaweed square that is laid on a bed of sticky rice, filled with stuff like avocado, cucumber, real crab, fake crab or barbecued eel, and then rolled into cylinders and cut into bite-sized pieces. Mmmm, eel. don’t worry too much about what is inside these rolls because you are going to drown them in so much soy sauce that each piece will look like a soggy hockey puck and taste like a heart attack. Each roll comes with a pile of shaved, pickled ginger, because this meal wasn’t weird enough. Rolls also come with wasabi, a Japanese word meaning “green death paste.” It is similar to horseradish in that it is not so much a good-tasting food and more of a test of your ability to stay calm while eating super-spiced Play-doh. (Pro tip: Start small.)

• Chopsticks: You will be using two round sticks held in one hand to pick up dense, slippery food cylinders — what could go wrong?!

If you’re a real coward, there are also things like yakitori and udon, simple skewers and noodle soups that really aren’t part of the truly exotic sushi experience. I ate a ton of yakitori in my early sushi days but you don’t have to, because you have this guide.

Pipeline posturing raises questions for B.C.’s future The Editor, Me and many people I have talked to about the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline are becoming quite upset about the craziness that is going on.

The B.C. government is flaunting the law and causing stress to many of its taxpaying citizens. Even more so that

now we hear that the Site C project will not be backed by the federal government and will thus cause even more havoc in our province.

Premier John Horgan has done severe damage to B.C. by initiating new projects that cost money and deleting other things that brought money in to the government’s coffers.

Where is he going to find money to run this province?

I’m not able to see far into the future, but I am fearful that B.C. is slowly going downhill.

My stress level over the crazy politics going on with the Greens and NDP are making me very unhappy.

Dry grad ‘one of their last hurrahs’ continued from front page

“When the kids start out in kindergarten, the parents are very involved but as the years progress they are less so. In Grade 12 they [the parents] come back and it’s wonderful having the community coming together and getting engaged.”

Businesses throughout the Tri-Cities will be canvassed for prizes and nearly $21,000 has been collected at Tri-City liquor stores for dry grad events at local high schools, both public and private, according the BC Liquor Distribution Branch. Local donations will ensure entrance fees are affordable and to pay for prizes, while parents will be tapped to volunteer to organize or work at the event.

There will also likely be a casino with play money and raffles with big prizes such as TVs and even cars.

As well, DJs, hypnotists, magicians, inflatables and other interactive games will entertain the young crowd into the wee hours — a kind of after-party following the traditional grad dance or grad ceremony.

In keeping with an event to keep kids from partying and other dangerous pursuits, security will be tight. No one with with evidence of alcohol or drug consumption will be allowed in; there are no-in-andout privileges at the party.

Once in the protected environment, students can hang out with their friends, supported by volunteer parents and even paid security.

It’s all part of the grad tradition that goes back several years and is a counterpoint to the sometimes reckless par-

Members of Centennial secondary school’s Dry After Grad committee, including Kelvin Fong, chair, Cinzia DeJesus and Jen Ghioda, load up on gifts for students who will be attending the event June 16 at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. ties that start with the warmer weather in May and can last through to July.

For Kelvin Fong, the parent of a Centennial Grade 12 student who is overseeing his 12th dry grad this year, his children’s

safety is a key consideration.

“I think it’s worth it just because I think I’m keeping 300 students and some of their guests out of a house party where there is no control other than parents or kids are out

at the park or on the streets.

Ninety-five per cent in this class are good kids, but sometimes, the odd percentage will get led away and you want to have them controlled and in a safe environment.”

But to be sure Centennial’s dry grad goes off without a hitch takes months of effort.

Sixteen volunteers are on the dry grad committee, while dozens more parents will be asked to volunteer at the event.

“Parents are doing a lot of work and it’s not going to be noticed or appreciated until the actual event,” said Fong, not releasing any details of the party to be held at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex for fear of spoiling the surprise.

The students who attend the 2018 grad class will, however, get swag — such as Centennial key chains and a blanket, and, with raffle draws once an hour, are likely to take home a prize.

“It’s one of their last hurrahs,” said Jen Ghioda, one of the parents on the organizing committee.

Cinzia DeJesus, whose son is graduating, and who has volunteered for dry grad for several years, says seeing the smiles on the teens’ faces at the end of the night is worth a year of hard work and planning.

But for these parents too, their kids’ safety is a key consideration.

“If they can get together and enjoy a good night, and not spend the time running around and possibly get into trouble, that’s great,” Fong said.

• Prize donations to the Centennial secondary dry grad are appreciated and more are welcome. To contribute, email Kelvin Fong at kelvin@imprintpromo.com. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Kyme Wegrich has been teaching in an inclusive way, using various teaching styles to ensure that all her grade 3 and 4 students get their learning needs met. the Walton elementary school teacher has been honoured with a 2018 national inclusive education award and will be travelling to Kelowna this week to participate in ceremonies.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Wegrich honoured for inclusive teaching style Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

What is inclusive education?

A Grade 3/4 teacher at Walton elementary school in Coquitlam was shocked to learn she is being honoured for a teaching style she has used for nearly 25 years.

Kyme Wegrich will be presented with a 2018 National Inclusive Education Award this week by Inclusion BC and the Family Support Institute of B.C. for providing inclusive learning opportunities for students with special needs.

Wegrich says there is nothing special about her teaching method that recognizes diversity and encourages all students to learn, play and grow in a supportive, comfortable environment.

“I think it’s something I’ve always done, I don’t see as being out of the ordinary, that’s why I was so shocked,” said Wegrich, who said she prefers to teach to all levels and abilities, rather than just the “middle.”

“I try to meet the child where they are,” said Wegrich.

According to Inclusion BC, inclusive education means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighbourhood schools in age appropriate, regular classes and are supported to learn, contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school. They may work on individual goals with other students their own age while developing their own strengths and gifts in a school culture that provides opportunities to learn about and accept individual differences, lessening the impact of harassment and bullying.

In her class, for example, soft lighting has been hung to create a calming environment, students can choose from a variety of seating options, including standing tables, seats that rock back and forth and exercise balls to accommodate some children’s need to move.

Instead of teaching a single lesson, Wegrich arranges the students into groups, depending on their level of understanding of a particular unit or subject, and rotates them through the lesson. When they aren’t working with her at the smart board, the group will do their work or play a game that helps reinforce the lesson.

With the support of an education assistant and a resource teacher, Kyme ensures that her class meets the needs of all students, including a girl with autism, who is popular, as evidenced at how happy her peers are to play games with her.

In one game called Garbage, the students changed the format so their friend could easily join in.

Wegrich said children don’t see see a problem with people who are different and she hopes they grow up to be more empathetic and compassionate adults.

TOASTMASTERS

Port Coquitlam’s Reg Boaler demonstrates the speaking form that has earned him a place in the semi-finals of the Toastmasters’ World Championship of Speaking to be held in Chicago, Ill., Aug. 22 to 25. Boaler recently won the organization’s district speech championship in Burnaby where competitors were scored on everything from the originality of their presentation to body language, to their enthusiasm and grammar.

Heartfelt speech honed for international stage Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News

Reg Boaler’s speech that won the Toastmasters’ District 96 International Speech Contest, held at the Grand Villa Hotel in Burnaby last weekend, was a work in progress 10 years in the making.

In fact, he made a major tweak to it the morning of his final oration and he’ll keep refining and honing it right up until he presents it again at the semifinals of the World Championship of Speaking, part of the Toastmasters International annual convention, being held in Chicago, Ill., Aug. 22 to 25.

Sometimes those tweaks come after Boaler presents the latest version of his speech to his local Toastmasters chapter.

Sometimes they tickle his consciousness as he’s trying to fall asleep and he’ll arise from bed to write them down.

“Every word has to count,” said Boaler, who lives in Port Coquitlam. “Every word has to convey a message, a feeling, a smell.”

Engaging his audience’s senses is something Boaler has learned since he first joined Toastmasters, a worldwide organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills, in 1985. He had a fledgling business supplying equipment to restaurants and bars and he wanted to become a better communicator with his employees and customers.

“I always admired people who could speak off the cuff,” said Boaler. “You just have to do it and with repetition, it comes.”

He also discovered it tickled his competitive instincts.

But to take his oration skills beyond impressing his local club mates to wowing the judges at the regional and international levels, Boaler needed a topic he could be passionate about, one he could speak to from his heart and not be afraid to let his vulnerability come through. He found it in the journey back to health his 23-year-old son, Russell, went through after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2010.

It was an emotional subject, to be sure, Boaler said. But it was also one filled with pathos, struggle, courage, and dark humour, as well as a positive message of resilience and survival.

And, most importantly, it was deeply personal.

“I know this story so well, it’s in my DNA,” Boaler said.

Two years ago, when Boaler was living in Richmond, he won the international speech contest for District 21, which covers the area south of the Fraser River, as well as the Okanagan, and Gulf Islands.

The move to a new district allowed him to present his speech to new listeners and gather new ideas for its refinement.

To prepare for the international stage in August, Boaler

will sharpen or pare each of his speech’s 883 words even further for maximum impact, rehearse every nuanced gesture that reinforces the message of those words and fits comfortably between the 4:30-minute minimum and 7:30 maximum length. Against more than 100 of Toastmasters’ best speakers from around the world, there’s

no room for error.

“I’ve got 108 days,” Boaler said on Wednesday. “I’m going to be working on my speech every day.”

What’s going on with car insurance in B.C.?

It’s no secret car insurance has been getting more and more expensive.

Ever wondered why? For a start, there are more and more crashes. In fact, each year there are about 300,000 crashes on our roads – that’s close to 820 per day. More crashes lead to more insurance claims. In BC, there has been a sharp increase in both injury and vehicle damage claims. What’s more, the costs of these claims have gone up. Injury claims alone cost close to $3 billion a year.

So what’s being done about this?

You may have heard the provincial government and ICBC have announced changes to car insurance in B.C. Under the new plan, more money will be available for your medical care, treatments and other benefits, like wage loss.

The changes include: • Doubling of the overall money available for medical care and treatment.

• More types of treatments covered including kinesiology, acupuncture, counselling and massage therapy. This means you won’t need to wait for approval.

• More money covered by ICBC for individual treatments.

• Higher wage loss payments and benefits for household support.

How is this possible?

To allow more money for the care of people injured in crashes, the government has also announced it will introduce a $5,500 limit on pain and suffering payouts for minor injuries.

This means the amount of money you can receive for the emotional distress of being in crash will be limited. But this limit is entirely separate from the money available to you for medical care and the other benefits described above.

In fact, with the new changes these benefits are actually going up.

This limit will not apply to major or catastrophic injury claims – like broken bones or brain injuries.

Find out more For more information visit icbc.com/change

Will I still be covered?

The limit on pain and suffering payments does not take away your right to a hire lawyer or seek compensation for any additional economic losses. Just the same as today, if you are injured in a crash and not at-fault, you can get more money for wage loss and treatment costs over and above what is covered by ICBC accident benefits.

So who decides if an injury is minor?

Under the new plan, just like today, a medical professional – not ICBC – will determine the diagnosis of your injuries and this will be used to establish whether it falls under the definition of a minor injury or not.

How will the definition of a minor injury be determined?

The government and ICBC have been consulting with medical treatment providers to determine what types of injuries would fall under a minor injury definition.

Over the coming months, this definition will be refined through regulation while still working with medical professionals for their input. In addition, other jurisdictions that already have a definition in place will also be reviewed in order to learn from past experience.

What if I disagree with my claim?

Under our new plan, if you have concerns about your injury claim, there will be a new, independent dispute resolution process starting April 1, 2019. If you disagree with ICBC, based on the new plan, the Civil Resolution Tribunal will make decisions on the: • classification of an injury as a minor injury • entitlement to receive accident benefits claimed • decisions around who is at fault in the crash and settlement amounts for all motor vehicle injury claims below a threshold that will not exceed $50,000.

Why are these changes needed?

In order to cover rising claims costs, B.C. drivers would need to pay on average at least $400 more for their full basic and optional coverage by next year – an average premium of approximately $2,100.

These changes will stop you from paying rate increases of 30 per cent or more in 2019, while providing increased care for anyone injured in a crash.

Pills May Replace Diapers And Padded Underwear At Stores Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, urine leaking, and nighttime urgency.

Robert Ward, Associated Health Press AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to plummet as results from a clinical trial on a new, patented bladder control pill have finally been released.

Sold under the brand name UriVarx®, the new pill contains key ingredients that keeps the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips.

Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal.

This would explain why the average UriVarx® user in clinical trials experiences a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

NEW DISCOVERY IN BLADDER CONTROL Until now, doctors believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder. They are amazed to see that it can now be done with the non-prescription UriVarx® pill.

“As you get older, and the involuntary muscles around your bladder weaken, you lose urinary control.

With your bladder wall unable to properly seal, you constantly leak and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj of Innovus Pharmaceuticals.

“UriVarx® targets the bladder muscles and help restores vital kidney health, reducing urgency and frequency. It also helps you “hold it” for hours so you never have to worry about embarrassing accidents ever again!”

FREEDOM FROM SUDDEN URGES AND LEAKS Since hitting the market, sales for the patented UriVarx® pill have soared and there are some very good reasons why.

To begin with, the results from its recent double blind clinical trial were truly remarkable. Out of the 150 test subjects, participants taking UriVarx® saw a stunning reduction in urinary frequency, which resulted in fewer bathroom trips both day and night.

They also experienced a dramatic decrease in incontinence episodes, such as leaking and bed wetting.

The active ingredients in UriVarx® comes from a patented formula. It is both safe and healthy. There are also no known serious side effects in its history of use.

Scientists believe that the ingredients target the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger. These muscles are responsible for keeping the bladder tightly sealed.

They also help the bladder to completely empty, allowing bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract.

Research has shown that as you get older, certain hormonal changes in the body cause these muscles to shrink and become lose. This is what causes the bladder to be over active and the resulting urine accidents and why UriVarx® seems to be so effective in the published clinical trials.

EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX® USERS Many UriVarx® users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry.

“After my third child, I couldn’t control my bladder.

I was running to the bathroom all the time! And once I hit my 60s it became so unpredictable I needed to wear adult pads every day” explained one user.

“I was embarrassed so before going to my doctor I decided to try UriVarx® and I’m so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I no longer feel like my bladder is about to explode. I can also “hold it” when I need to so I’m no longer living in constant fear of finding a bathroom.”

NOW APPROVED FOR OVERACTIVE BLADDER & INCONTINENCE In the highly anticipated clinical trial on UriVarx®, researchers found that one pill daily can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urinary urgency and leaks.

The double blind, placebo control study took place in two primary care centers where 150 male and female participants with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx®.

The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx® saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.

Overall, the UriVarx® group experienced: • 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence • 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence • 61% Reduction in Urgency • 33% Reduction in Frequency • 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips • 475% Decrease in Diaper/Pad Use Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx® said it significantly improved their quality of life. All together, the study earned UriVarx® the Health Canada approval for overactive bladder and incontinence.

“The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx® users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

HOW IT WORKS UriVarx® is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription. However, is approved by Health Canada.

The active ingredients extracts.

are

patented natural

NEW PILL MAY REPLACE DIAPERS FOR BLADDER CONTROL: This new patented clinically proven pill solution is now available nationwide Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken.

When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms.

It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s® active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx® support kidney function and overall urinary health.

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE With daily use, UriVarx® can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs.

Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

HOW TO GET URIVARX® IN CANADA This is the official release of UriVarx® in Canada.

As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to anyone suffering from bladder issues who calls within the next 48 hours.

A special hotline number and discounted pricing has been created for all Canada residents. Discounts will be available starting today at 6:00AM and will automatically be applied to all callers.

Your Toll-Free Hotline number is 1-800-952-8163 and will only be open for the next 48 hours. Only a limited discounted supply of UriVarx® is currently available in your region.

OUT & ABOUT

Lots of newcomers at this year’s farmers markets

Try this delicious savoury galette with a spring green salad. It’s a great way to combine many market ingredients into a lovely lunch or light dinner. I have made it before and adapted the recipe from eatyourselfskinny.com

ZUCCHINI, SQUASH & RICOTTA GALETTE Serves 12 INGREDIENTS

MARKET FRESH

Crust: 1½ cups whole wheat flour ¼ tsp salt 8 tbsp butter, cold 2 oz. Neufchatel Cheese from Golden Ears (try the herbed one to make it even more interesting) ¼ cup of ice water, adding an additional tablespoon if necessary

T

he market season is off to a great start. All the lovely sun has given the farmers a boost and every week brings a greater selection of fresh, locally grown food — even cauliflower.

Let’s have a look at what is available already.

One of our newest summer vendors, Crisp Organics has a great stall full of lovely spring things. Rhubarb, green onions, lovage, kales, spinach are available, as well as parsnips and burdock root.

Burdock root is interesting; a tea can made from it that is said to help with digestive issues. Lovage is another cool plant; also known as sea parsley, the leaves and stem of the lovage plant add an intense, celery-like flavour to soups, stews and stocks or pork and poultry dishes. It can also be used to enhance the flavour of potato dishes. How about a new potato salad seasoned with lovage?

Another relative newcomer, Aslan Organics, has a great selection of salad greens already bagged and ready to go.

SAVOURY GALETTE AND GREEN SALAD

Filling: 2 medium zucchini

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

Hundreds of shoppers are already taking advantage of the products on offer at the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers markets.

Have you ever had tatsoi? It’s is a versatile green and may be used similarly to spinach, served raw, steamed, sautéed, braised or stir-fried. It makes an excellent accompaniment to other salad greens such as spinach, arugula, watercress, pea tendrils and mizuna. Its tangy and peppery notes pair well with citrus, crisp cool ingredients such as apple, fennel and mint, warm flavours that are abundantly found in chiles, garlic and allspice.

Pair tatsoi with ingredients rich in umami such as scallops, mushrooms, seaweed, sesame and braised meats.

Fermented ingredients such as fish sauce, soy sauce and vinegars are also complimentary matches (specialtyproduce.com). Try sautéeing it in a bit of Aji and Koji salt to

bring out its flavour. Both Aji Gourmet Products and Koji Fine Foods will be at market this summer, too.

Market favourite Forstbauer Farms are straddling the seasons, bringing with it winter beets as well as zucchini, rhubarb, spinach and arugula, One of my favourite ways to eat zucchini these days is to spiralize it; you quickly sautéed in olive oil and served with a generous topping of bolognese sauce and you have delicious, carb-free meal. Try serving it with Sweet Thea’s new peasant bread if you have to have the carbs.

Lastly, Never Say Die has an abundance of peppers. Bright red and orange peppers bring such flavour and colour to your plate. A super fast meal

is as easy as stir-frying peppers and onion in a garlicky oil-based dressing ( a KICS dressing perhaps?), tossing in some spot prawns and finishing it off with a bit of Golden Ears Cheesecrafters butter to add a bit of richness. Serve over rice with a spring salad on the side. Super easy.

Something to look forward to are strawberries. They will be ready soon. Mandair Farms says the countdown is on and they could be at market this weekend. That is when you know summer is truly on its way.

Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (www.kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade. blogspot.ca) at the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers markets. Her column runs monthly.

1 clove garlic 1 cup ricotta cheese 1 tbsp honey 1 egg white 1 tbsp fresh thyme ¾ c shredded cheese of your choice, also from Golden Ears Egg wash: 1 egg yolk 1 tsp. water Topping: 1 tbsp olive oil Fresh basil

INSTRUCTIONS In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture looks like course chunks and then cut in cream cheese. Butter and cream cheese will resemble pea-like chunks in the flour; then mix in ¼ cup of ice water. Feel free to add an additional tablespoon of water, if needed. Shape dough into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.

While dough is sitting in the fridge, make your filling.

Slice zucchini , laying out your slices on sheets of paper towels. Sprinkle a little salt on each piece and let sit for 30 minutes, allowing paper towels to soak up the water. Blot dry after the allotted time has passed and set aside.

For the filling, whisk together ricotta cheese, egg white, garlic, honey, thyme and cheese. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly flour your surface and roll out your dough until it is a 12- to 14-inch circle. Place rolled dough on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and spread ricotta mixture over dough, leaving about 2 inches from the edge. Arrange zucchini over top of the mixture, overlapping as needed and fold over the edges of the pie crust. You want your pie to look like an even circle.

Whisk together egg yolk and a teaspoon of water and brush mixture over top of the crust. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and place pie in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh basil, if desired. Enjoy.

An oldie but still a goodie, ‘Super Fantastic’ and now ‘Mega Fantastic’ (70 days-I) are powerhouses of production with lots of 284g fruits right through until frost. These midseason and mid to larger sized tomatoes are the mainstay for so many folks with smaller space gardens. Offering superb production, their flavour is excellent and the quality of their fruit is high.

The standard of early tomatoes for years has been ‘Early Girl F1’ (60 days-I). It’s the earliest slicing 113-170g tomato and I know for many folks, it’s the only tomato they grow.

Today, tomatoes are the number one garden vegetable in North America and with so many types and flavours available, I think they’ll stay on top for some time to come. I know lots of tomatoes have already been planted but there’s still plenty of time if you want to try a few more.

HEED

come up with very flavourful big guys, called ‘Steakhouse’ (0.7-1.8 kg) and ‘Porterhouse’ (0.9-1.8 kg). They are the biggest of the big.

Believe it or not, the best selling large round tomato is ‘Better Boy F1’. Weighing about 227g, it is flavourful and very disease resistant. The old, well-known Burpee ‘Big Boy F1’ is still a good variety with handsome fruits sizing up to 227-255g.

There’s a new series of modern mid to large tomatoes today that are shorter, more compact and ready in about two months. An All-American Selection winner, ‘Celebrity’ (72 days-D) produces large very smooth round 227g tomatoes with great flavour on very compact plants. ‘ Bush Champion’ (65 days-D) is another compact variety growing only 60cm but producing plenty of 250-340g wonderfully round tasty fruit.

This large home in Burke Mount. has all the features you have been searching for. It is centrally located between schools, parks and shopping. Upgraded with 3/4” hardwood flooring and features an open design concept. It features a formal living room, 2 gas fireplaces, office/den and separate bedroom downstairs with full bathroom. Included 1 bedroom legal suite which will serve as mortgage helper. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms plus a generous size master bedroom, along with large soaker tub and tiled shower.

prefer to break tomato varieties into various categories according to their uses.

The most popular of all types are the huge sweet slicing tomatoes, commonly grown in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley and in Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula. Old-fashioned field tomatoes, like ‘Beefsteak’ and ‘Stokesdale’, were in a class by themselves with fabulous aroma and flavour.

They can still be found but today there are newer varieties with far more disease tolerance, earlier ripening times, huge easy-to-slice oval shapes and still great flavour. One of the largest is ‘Beefmaster F1’, weighing in anywhere from 340-560g and maturing in 70 to 81 days.

It’s also very tolerant of cracking and peeling. A slightly lighter weight beauty, ‘Big Beef F1’ checks in at only 284340g but it has almost twice the yield. It’s also very disease resistant. ‘Beefsteak’ is still available but it is now classified as an heirloom variety. The Burpee Seed Company has

POCO SPORTS AWARDS

PoCo honours sports heroes in new Hall First members to be inducted as part of city’s sports awards event tonight MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The future of Port Coquitlam sports is bright, if the stars of its past are any indication, says the executive director of PoCo Sports Alliance, Ryan Clark.

And tonight (Friday) six of those stars are being celebrated at the Terry Fox Theatre when they’re inducted as the first class of the new Port Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame.

Clark said the inaugural induction ceremony is a bit of a coming out party for Port Coquitlam’s sporting community at every level.

“We want to become known as one of the best sporting communities in Western Canada,” Clark said. “Port Coquitlam bleeds pride.”

That starts with a strong base of volunteers who help make sports happen in the community, from coaches to association board members to parents who cut oranges for halftime snacks. Their dedication often continues long after their own direct link to a sport — either through a child or family member participating — has moved on to other pursuits. That helps build a foundation for success, Clark said.

“It’s a small town, but if you look at the results of the level of teams, they swing way above their weight.”

And they do it in a variety of sports, from lacrosse to ringette to swimming and volleyball.

Clark said coming up with the five athletes and one builder who comprise the hall’s charter members was a

The first inductees to hall are:

BUILDER

Bret Anderson (football) — After starring for the football and basketball teams at Terry Fox secondary school, Anderson played college football at Simon Fraser University and then 13 years

in the Canadian Football League where he won the Grey Cup in 2000 and 2006.

Mike Gates (lacrosse) — Gates won several scoring and most valuable player titles after he joined the Coquitlam Adanacs in 1965 following a four-year stint with the New Westminster Salmonbellies. He was a Western Lacrosse Association first all-star six times. Port Coquitlam’s Gates Park is named after him.

Christopher Rinke (wrestling) — Rinke is a six-time

national wrestling champion.

He won gold in the 1982 Commonwealth Games, bronze in the 1983 Pan American Games and bronze in the 1984 Olympic Summer Games in Los Angeles. He also finished fourth at the 1986 world championships and he’s a member of the SFU and Canadian Wrestling halls of fame.

challenge — not to find them but to whittle down a long list that will populate the honour for several years to come.

The list was built in collaboration with the Port Coquitlam Heritage Society, which was charged with doing much of the research into the contri-

butions and achievements of local athletes and volunteers over the years. It was a natural fit, Clark said, especially with the work the society had done to prepare its current museum exhibition celebrating the city’s sporting heritage.

Their findings were then

passed on to a committee comprised of people in Port Coquitlam’s sporting community as well as officials from the city for consideration.

They had the unenviable task of parsing the names out over several years.

bronze in the 10,000m race at the 1999 Pan American Games and then finished 37th at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

Dan Payne (wrestling and football) — Payne parlayed his success on the wrestling mat at SFU where he was a national NAIA champion, into a successful career in football, which he played at Purdue University and then for 14 years in the CFL where he was a member of four Grey Cup champions.

Of course any list of Port Coquitlam’s sporting heroes has to begin with the late Terry Fox, Clark said. His courageous effort to run across Canada in 1980 to raise money for cancer research after he lost his right

leg to the disease helped put the city on the international map of athletic achievement.

Clark said Fox’s legacy continues to inspire athletes young and old everywhere and for that reason he’s the hall’s first inductee as a builder. Fox’ brother Darrell will be a featured speaker at the event and several of his family members are expected to attend.

In fact, Clark said, all of the honourees or their family members got on board with the festivities as soon as they were contacted, which speaks to Port Coquitlam’s unique sporting culture.

“They have the hometown pride and attachment,” Clark said. “They feel a synergy to the community that led to their success.”

And he’s hoping that pride and sense of connection will translate to current and future generations of young athletes, volunteers, coaches and officials as they learn of the hall’s first class on two special interactive digital display boards that are being installed in the lobby at the Hyde Creek community centre.

The hall will eventually move to its permanent home in the lobby of the new Port Coquitlam recreation complex when it’s completed.

Clark said those large touch screens will offer a dynamic glimpse into the lives and accomplishments of the hall of famers as content can easily be changed and updated.

He said he expects as more people become aware of Port Coquitlam’s sporting heroes, more stories of dedication and accomplishment will be written.

“When you recognize these people, a big part of it is to inspire and show what’s possible,” he said. “This is where you can aim to be.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Fresh faces for seniors

A Coquitlam Adanacs runner tries to work his way around New Westminster Salmonbellies defender Ryan Wilkinson in the first period of their BC Junior A Lacrosse League game, Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena in New West. The Adanacs lost the game, 7-5.

New coaches, new players bring new hope for Sr. Adanacs MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Fans heading to the senior Adanacs season opener on Saturday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex may want to pick up a program.

There’s no shortage of new faces, both behind the bench and on the floor as the Western Lacrosse Association team looks to improve on its five wins and 13 losses last season.

Bob Bell is the team’s new coach, one of three new bench bosses in the league this season. New Westminster and Langley also have new head coaches.

Bell comes to the Adanacs after working as an assistant for the Langley Thunder last year.

Before that he was the head coach of the Port Coquitlam Saints of the BCJALL following several years of success guiding that organization’s intermediate team that culminated in a provincial championship in 2014.

Bell’s assistant will be his former boss in Langley, Shaun Springett.

Prior to heading the Thunder, Springett had success at the junior level in Coquitlam, New West and

the cost of being book smart.

Disappointed with the result, Coquitlam coach Pat Coyle was still pleased with the effort, considering his lineup remains bereft of 10 starters. “(New West) played well, their goalie played well, but I don’t know if it says anything,” said Coyle. “We’re missing 10 guys so it’s hard to judge, but it was a good opportunity for some guys to show how they match up at this level.”

Key among the missing are offensive stars Thomas Semple, finishing his freshman year at the University of Denver, John Hofseth at Seton Hill, Baden Boyenko at Genesse University and team captain Reid Bowering of Drexel University. All are expected back within the next four weeks.

The Adanacs scored first but found themselves playing catch-up most of the night.

ROYAL CITY RECORD

It’s just their first meeting of the season, but Tuesday’s showdown between the Coquitlam Adanacs and the New Westminster Salmonbellies laid the groundwork for more battles ahead.

The two B.C. junior A lacrosse titans — who’ve been dance partners for the provincial title for nearly a decade — exchanged shots and knocks before the ’Bellies emerged as 7-5 victors at Queen’s Park Arena.

And while Coquitlam has held the upperhand on the provincial stage and a couple of Minto Cup titles in that span, Tuesday’s result is less a sign of the worm turning than it is of

when he shouldn’t have (on the shorthanded goal).”

Encouraging was the fact that the defence and netminder Christian Del Bianco held the ’Bellies to seven goals and limited the electric duo of Leclaire, a recent acquisition and 2016 league scoring champion, and Carter Dickson to just one goal.

“We held our own, and I think defensively there’s a good take-away from (the game),” added Coyle.

Armstrong finished with two goals and three assists, while Kyle Nichols added a single.

Coquitlam out shot New West 38-37.

Coquitlam, who bounced back by trouncing Delta on Wednesday, 19-4, hosts Nanaimo on Sunday, 5 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre.

The surprising 4-1-2 Port Coquitlam Saints, meanwhile, entertain the Langley Thunder on Friday, 8 p.m. at the PoCo Rec Centre.

3-2 lead on Tre Leclaire’s 10th of the season. Gabe Procyk countered just over a minute later, but New West snapped in two tallies within 36 seconds, including a powerplay goal by Keegan Bell. The game winner came off the stick of Cam Garlin, who upped the lead to 6-3 with a shorthanded effort 5:28 into the third.

While the visitors got markers by Dennon Armstrong and Jalen Chaster in the third to close the gap to one, New West added insurance with 5:33 left on another Bell shot.

New West is also missing a handful of starters at university, but the absences on Coquitlam’s side of the ledger, including virtually the entire starting right side, has made the 3-1-1 start understandable, although not acceptable.

“We had 18 guys but we’re missing some big players,” said Coyle. “We’re still trying to work the kinks out, and one of our offensive guys came off

Delta, where he was named the BCJALL’s coach of the year in 2012.

They’ll be in charge of a team comprised of proven veterans like Matt Delmonico, Mike Krgovich, Coady Adamson and Brian Gillis who will be pushed by newcomers like Sam De Groot and Jeremy Bosher.

De Groot was the second pick overall in last February’s WLA draft, but Adanacs general manager Mike Petrie said the former PoCo Saint may have been the best two-way player available. He scored 25 goals and added 26 assists in 17 games in his last year of junior.

Bosher was a star in junior with the New West Jr. Salmonbellies where he amassed 224 points in 59 career games. The Adanacs plucked him late in the draft’s second around, another steal according to Petrie, who had the righthanded forward ranked between eighth and 10th overall.

In the defensive end, the Adanacs believe they have a goalie of the future in Andrew Gallant, whom they selected from the PoCo Saints with their second pick in the draft’s first round.

Game time Saturday is 7 p.m.

The opening face-off will be preceeded by a tribute to longtime Adanacs icon, Les Wingrove, who passed away last April.

TRUTH IN EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

ADVERTISING POLICIES All advertising published in this newspaper is accepted on the premise that the merchandise and services offered are accurately described and willingly sold to buyers at the advertised prices. Advertisers are aware of these conditions. Advertising that does not conform to these standards or that is deceptive or misleading, is never knowingly accepted. If any reader encounters non-compliance with these standards we ask that you inform the Publisher of this newspaper and The Advertising Standards Council of B.C. OMISSION AND ERROR: The publishers do not guarantee the insertion of a particular advertisement on a specified date, or at all, although every effort will be made to meet the wishes of the advertisers.

Further, the publishers do not accept liability for any loss of damage caused by an error or inaccuracy in the printing of an advertisement beyond the amount paid for the space actually occupied by the portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred. Any corrections of changes will be made in the next available issue. The Tri-CityNews will be responsible for only one incorrect insertion with liability limited to that portion of the advertisement affected by the error. Request for adjustments or corrections on charges must be made within 30 days of the ad’s expiration.
