UNSOLVED MYSTERIES

Jewelry clue to 1977 mystery?

GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP investigators are hoping that several pieces of distinctive jewelry will help put a name to a man who has not been identified

since his body was found 40 years ago at Sasamat Lake.

On June 5, 1977, the body of a man wearing a silver ring (far right) and bracelet along with two puka shell necklaces was found at the popular swimming spot. Investigators at the time

believed the man had drowned; they never identified him.

“This guy wore pretty hip jewelry for the time and he cared about his appearance, so we are sure someone is missing him,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Dennis Morrison

told The Tri-City News.

“This man was someone’s brother, boyfriend or buddy and we’re hoping one of those people comes forward and gives us the missing link in this file.” see BROWN-HAIRED, page 6

SALMONIDS IN THE CLASSROOM

Cuts endanger salmon program Salmon program facing changes for next year

people to support salmon enhancement.

The program also has many champions at the elementary school level.

At Westwood elementary in Port Coquitlam, for example, salmon are raised from eyed eggs to fry in a hallway so all students can witness the progress. In the spring, they are released in a ceremony blessed by local First Nations elders.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

A decision to delay for a year cuts to an education program that teaches children about the lifecycle of B.C. salmon has Tri-City teachers and hatchery organizations hoping that it may be saved.

The Salmonids in the Classroom program will go ahead in schools in September after Fisheries and Oceans Canada made some adjustments in the wake of a community outcry, meaning that teachers can go ahead and collect salmon eggs and raise them to fry stage in the classroom this fall.

But the longstanding B.C. program will not likely to continue in its current form next year, and on Monday, Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon acknowledged that petitions and letters are one way for people to ensure that their concerns are heard.

“They should carry on, hold our feet to the fire and make sure we follow through,” McKinnon told The Tri-City News as letters and petitions continue to circulate online.

McKinnon explained that the planned changes to the 40-year-old Salmon Enhancement Program (SEP) are part of a broader review and investment to enhance marine and coastline protection, with $27 million to be spent on the SEP program alone.

FITS CURRICULUM

WE CAN DO BETTER

As well, he said Fisheries and Oceans Canada will be adding 900 staff, including 200 in B.C., as part of a $2.9-billion investment into the Ocean Protection Plan and restoration of previous cuts to Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard.

“The messaging on the first announcement didn’t emphasize we are going to put something in that is at least as good or better. That’s the point of the review: can we do better?”

McKinnon said.

Still, it’s unclear as to what the new program will look like.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada has promised to put education materials online, supplemented by visits of fisheries officers to B.C. schools.

Letters and petitions are circulating online this week as groups try to prevent the federally funded Salmonids in the Classrooms program in B.C. from shutting down. Some 33 schools in School District 43 participate in the program, in which students such at these at Westwood elementary in Port Coquitlam, raise salmon from eggs to fry and then release them. Program cuts have been put on hold for a year.

“We want people to understand and people to know the whole life cycle of the salmon and a key to that is education.

It might be done in a different way,” McKinnon said.

But local teachers say the program that provides tanks, fish eggs and a curriculum for teachers to use has enthralled and inspired children for three

decades. Eliminating it and replacing it with online programming won’t be the same.

LEARNING

“Learning on screen is not the same as the same as an experience,” said Kerry Lockwood, a Pinetree secondary school teacher, who has two tanks at her Coquitlam

school for science classes and who has volunteered as the program co-ordinator for SD43 for two decades, working with Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s education coordinator, whose contract will not be renewed if program changes go ahead.

“The petitions need to continue on, they need to see what this is dong,” Lockwood said.

For Lockwood, who has seen generations of kids learn about salmon through the program, eliminating it would be a blow.

“In the Tri-Cities alone, I’ve seen the streams go from having no salmon to being healthy,” she said, crediting awareness from Salmonids in the Classroom for getting

“The kids can tell you so much about the salmon,” said teacher Paula Foster.

Teachers also like the way the program fits in with the redesigned B.C. curriculum, which requires students to learn about ecosystems as well First Nations cultural traditions.

“Having live salmon in the classroom where the children can see and experience this living thing hatch into alevins, grow into fry is experiential learning — the best kind, in my opinion,” stated Linda Appleby, a Lord Baden-Powell elementary teacher, in an email. “I have been implementing the Salmonids in the Classroom Program for about 20 years with classes from grades 2 to 5 and I am shocked that it has come to the chopping block with such speed and accuracy considering how perfectly it fits in with the new curriculum and the rationale behind it.”

For now though, the program will continue even though the future is still very much uncertain. Two petitions are calling for restoration of funding at petitions.ourcommons and at change.org (search “salmonids” on either site).

MP McKinnon agrees that educating people about the salmon is critical for their protection and acknowledges that the species is iconic in B.C. But his government’s decisions are being questioned by the federal NDP, led by fisheries critic and Port MoodyCoquitlam MP Fin Donnelly, who delivered a letter describing the benefits of the program.

Also being cut are technicians who help groups manage their hatcheries — although their contracts are also being retained for a year — while other technical support provided by the Resource Restoration Unit will be phased out over three years. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

DOUGLAS COLLEGE

Aboriginal garden at Douglas connects students to the past Traditional First Nations plants are in college garden MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

If everything old is new again, the new Aboriginal garden at Douglas College is about as old as it gets.

The garden was planted last Tuesday by volunteers from Fortis BC following a traditional blessing ceremony by a Kwikwetlem First Nation elder.

Two of the six plots at the college’s Sustainability, Outreach and Learning (SOL) garden were sowed with ceremonial plants like sweetgrass and tobacco as well as food crops like blue camas, knotting onion and kinnikinnick (or bear berry).

The plants are native to British Columbia and play an important role in First Nations culture, said Robert McGregor, the executive director of the college’s Institute of Urban Ecology.

MORE FIRST NATIONS NEWS

In Friday’s Tri-City News, read how SD43’s Suwa’lkh School and Fresh Roots are expanding a horticultural program at the school that will specialize in growing native plants.

The garden will allow the 700 Aboriginal students who attend Douglas to connect with their ancestral ways as well as educate the entire student body, staff and faculty about agricultural practices that have been around for centuries.

“This is an outreach garden,” said McGregor.

The current climate of reconciliation for wrongs and exploitation foisted upon Indigenous communities by foreign settlers also make this the right time for such an initiative, said McGregor, who said, “All of us should be involved in trying to understand

First Nations’ culture.”

The garden will be tended by volunteers and as the crops begin to grow, workshops will be conducted to explain their significance, and to show how they are harvested and used.

McGregor said there is a lot to learn from crops and gardening techniques that sustained First Nations’ communities for hundreds of years.

“People are interested in sustainability and connecting to the natural world,” he said. “This was a culture that was connected to nature in a very real way.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Volunteers with Coquitlam Search and Rescue gather during the search for three teenage girls who got lost Sunday while hiking on the Woodland Walk to Sawblade Falls in Coquitlam.

SAFETY IN THE OUTDOORS

Search highlights need for hike prep GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Hikers heading out to Burke Mountain need to do more than just a few Google searches to prepare before they hit the trails.

That was the message from Coquitlam Search and Rescue (SAR) spokesperson Michael Coyle after the team rescued three teenagers hiking on the Woodland Walk to Sawblade Falls on Sunday.

He told The Tri-City News that the girls aged 17 and 18 did not have appropriate clothing and were fortunate to still be in cellphone range when they realized they were lost.

“They were very cold,” he said. “People don’t think about that. We have had some people become hypothermic in July.”

Pre-hike preparation was also an issue, Coyle added.

He said when the group became lost, they decided to go downhill, which is “never a

Sun protection 9. Pocket knife 10. Signalling device good idea.” The trio eventually reached Or Creek but the water was too high to cross.

“Later in the season, they could have crossed that creek quite easily,” Coyle said. “But this time of year, it is still snow melt. All the rivers are high, even the small creeks.”

After trying unsuccessfully to cross the creek, the teens phoned 911.

Coquitlam RCMP was able to locate the missing hikers by pinging their cellphone and the Talon helicopter spotted them along the creek a short time later.

The SAR team on the ground escorted the trio across Or Creek and brought them to waiting rescue trucks at a nearby access road.

Coyle said the hikers had only planned to be gone for an hour but the hike to Sawblade Falls was probably closer to two and a half hours.

“We want to make sure people think ahead before they go out,” he said, adding that anybody going on a hike should have the 10 essentials (see inset, above left).

“What looks like a short hike can be pretty involved… It is difficult to gain experience without trying stuff, but the goal is to learn your limitations before hand.”

I had been treating my lower back with massage, chiropractic and physiotherapy for the past 25 years due to chronic sciatica and back pain. When the arthritis presented itself, there was nothing that would relieve the pain and spasm I felt all day long. I didn’t think I would have any quality of life in the future if I was in this much pain at 50. I gave laser a try and now I am pain free ad am able to bend and twist again.

The victim had brown hair with long sideburns, brown eyes, a complicated upper dental plate, jeans and a comb in his back pocket. Investigators believe he was approximately 25 years old, stood six feet tall and weighed about 180 lb.

The man’s shoes, socks and shirt were never found and there were no injuries that would suggest foul play.

The body was found after several weeks and police believe someone may have driven the man to the lake but never spoke with police.

His peers would be approximately 65 years old today.

YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH

Anxiety doesn’t take a summer vacation Summer course for youth involves their parents, too

Presented by

Dominion Lending Centres

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

With the end of the school year and summer just around the corner, some teens can look forward to new routines, new friends and new activities as they break from their dayto-day school responsibilities.

But for some youths whose lives are hampered by anxiety, summer may not be much better than any other time of year.

Concerns about family, friends and day-to-day responsibilities can keep children suffering from anxiety from living their life to the fullest.

But a new summer program called Mindful Youth, offered by Share Family and Community Services, can teach them skills to cope.

Counsellors Lisa Ackerman and Mario Fabiano, who lead the program, said a growing number of young people are being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. While they don’t know if the problem is increasing or that diagnoses are on the rise, they say feelings

Plenty of useful tips continued from page 8

People respond to fear or a stressful situation with a fight-or-flight response that dissipates when the source of the stress is found to be harmless or goes away. But people with anxiety can’t switch off the feelings and can fixate on the problem to the point that it affects their activities and social relationships, the two say.

“Even though there is no threat, they still feel the tension,” said Fabiano, a clinical counsellor with Share’s Talking Helps program.

Together, the two have planned a program for 12- to 14-year-old teens to teach them how to identify anxiety and ways to deal with it. The program runs from June 21 through Aug. 9 and includes an orientation and a wrap-up with parents.

Fabiano said it’s important to include the parents in the dialogue because they can help reinforce the strategies at home; as well, learning about anxiety will help them understand the health concern.

Information will include how anxiety and worry work, healthy coping skills and ways to work with thoughts, feelings and emotions. One technique, called mindfulness, involves paying attention to the present moment and acknowledging what feelings and emotions

ANXIETY: WHO’S AT RISK? • Gender: Women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with anxiety • Age: Anxiety most often appears in youth • Personality factors: Children who are shy are more likely than other children to suffer from anxiety • Family history: Anxiety disorders run in families.

• Social factors: People with fewer social supports are more likely to develop anxiety disorders.

• Occupational risks: One kind of anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress, can be linked to a person’s job.

• Chronic illness: People who have chronic mental or physical illness often worry about their illness, which can lead to the development of an anxiety disorder.

– source: Canadian Mental Health Association arise without judgment.

It takes time and practice to integrate mindfulness but Fabiano said the technique of grounding your attention to better deal with perceived threats can work.

“It brings you back to the present moment,” she said, “and away from the thoughts of the future or past,” where worry can breed.

The counsellors said the program should be beneficial to middle school and high school students because they are hearing reports from School District 43 teachers that anxiety is a problem for some. If it’s successful, the Mindful Youth program could be organized for other age groups.

Teens who might benefit

from the program are those who are avoiding social interactions and are interested in substance use, struggle with attending school and extracurricular activities, say they are feeling judged, and are exhibiting physical symptoms, such as headaches and stomach problems.

“If we can start to learn to cope with situations at a young age, it’s better than waiting until you’re older,” Ackerman said.

• The program will run at Share’s Port Moody office, located at 2615 Clarke St., and the deadline to register for the small group program is June 14. The cost is $50 but there is a sliding scale. Call 604-937-6969.

COMMUNITY GRANTS

Fed. cash for accessibility Groups, businesses and communities in the Tri-Cities can apply for federal cash to build, renovate or retrofit their workplace and facilities for the disabled.

But candidates wanting to money from the Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) have to put in their proposals by the July 26 deadline.

Last week, Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon used National AccessAbility Week, May 28 to June 3, to call on organizations and companies to apply.

Firms with up to 99 fulltime-equivalent staff as well as community organizations

can get up to $50,000 while for-profit groups, charities and small local governments are also eligible for funding. Visit canada.ca for details.

Part of the EAF budget this year will go toward a pilot project for up to 150 youth-driven projects that boost accessibility in workplaces and civic facilities; the maximum funding per project is $10,000. Youth are required to show mobility challenges in work or public places — and find groups to lead them in developing the project.

Call McKinnon’s constituency office at 604-927-1080 for more details. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

COMMUNITY FUNDRAISERS

HELP TRI-CITY TRANSITIONS Helping homeless youth find a place to live is the goal of Home Depot’s Orange Door project.

And this year, funds raised in the charity drive will go to TriCity Transitions.

Until July 2, customers can donate $2 at the local store’s checkout in exchange for an orange paper door. All donations will help the Tri-City Transitions Society provide

youth in need with emergency shelter.

Last year, the Coquitlam store raised $9,468 for the local organization that provides programs and shelter for women and their children who are fleeing domestic violence.

More information is available at www.orangedoorproject.ca. For more on Tri-City Transitions, visit tricitytransitions.com.

“I know it’s scary when a bear roams our neighborhoods for food.

Sadly, they are hungry. Our communities have grown. The animals’ homes or feeding grounds are slowly being removed with construction.”

SHAY MOYER ON THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM ISSUING A NOTICE ABOUT BEARS AND GARBAGE

“My cans are always locked. They have been knocked down every year, but usually only once or twice because [the bears] realize they can’t get anything from them.

Never had them knocked over on garbage day when they are unlocked, but I’m one of the lucky ones I’m sure.”

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

Deal with debt, depression O

ur economy is built on commercial trade and so it’s no surprise that some people get caught in a spiral of debt.

And when they do, they often suffer from anxiety and depression.

These mental health concerns are the dark underbelly of the consumer culture that seems to reward shopping — some call it “retail therapy” — while ignoring honest discussion of finances.

People don’t like to talk about their debt until they really get into problems because doing so seems to be an admission of failure.

But with high housing costs, burgeoning student loans, NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n

low interest rates and constant bombardment by banks to upgrade credit limits and cards, not to mention the ease of online shopping, it’s no surprise that some people get into trouble.

Maybe it’s time to open up debate and do more research on the social and mental health sides of consumer debt, and spread the word through advertising and a social media campaign.

For those who take this issue seriously, the 2017 BC Consumer Debt Study offers some surprising links between debt and depression.

According to a survey of 1,300 participants with unsecured debt of between $25,000

TC

and $49,000, 97% indicated their debt caused them to feel anxiety, sadness, discouragement, fear and panic. Nearly a third reported suffering diagnosed depression, and their debt was part of a problem, while almost 20% admitted that their financial issues were leading them to consider suicide.

It’s a shame that people get in so far over their heads they feel they have few options for getting out from under this burden.

According to this study, the leading cause of debt was overextension of credit and financial mismanagement at 26% but many other causes were to blame as well: unemploy-

ment, layoffs and wage cuts (15.1%), marital or relationship breakdown (12.4%), illness and injury or health-related problems (12.4%). As well, unexpected emergencies, business failure and caring for a child with chronic illness were among other causes of debt, suggesting that sometimes life gets in the way of the best laid plans.

Although financial mismanagement is a big part of the problem, it’s not the only cause of indebtedness, and perhaps a combination of financial literacy as well as more support and tools for help could encourage people to deal with debt before it takes over their lives.

ISTOCK

Debt is not only a financial problem, it’s a trigger for mental health issues, including anxiety and depression.

COQUITLAM & GARBAGE

PROVINCIAL POLITICS

Time to ticket but no time to Could speaker be fix senior’s green cart wheel? a failed candidate?

The Editor, On April 19, the wheel on my green cart was badly damaged as shown in the picture that I’m sending with this letter. I’m not happy that the sides were badly banged up as well but the cart is still usable if I could just get someone from the city of Coquitlam to fix the wheel.

I called early on the following Monday, thinking that would give them two days to do the work before I needed the cart again. I was told that I needed to take pictures and email them in so they would know what needed to be done. I was given a file number and email address, and took and sent the pictures immediately after my call.

Two weeks later, I called again. This time, I was told by a rather dismissive employee that I was told the work could take up to three weeks so why was I calling before that time was up. Well, I was told no such thing and couldn’t imagine that so many carts are so carelessly damaged each week that the city has a three-week

ELAINE MYERS PHOTO

Letter writer Elaine Myers sent this photo of the damaged wheel on her green cart — a photo she sent the city of Coquitlam more than a month and a half ago. It’s still awaiting repair. backlog for repairs.

I explained that we have a steep driveway and my husband has had a stroke and recent serious knee surgery, so I have no one to help me drag this cart up the hill between the hours of 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. I begged them to try to do this for me as soon as possible.

On May 19 — one month

after my cart was damaged and 26 days since I had sent the requested photos — I called again and was promised that someone would be here on Monday, May 22. I realized later that was going to be a holiday so I didn’t expect help until Tuesday.

Well, it is now June 1 — 44 days since my cart was damaged — and I’m still waiting.

It seems almost every week someone from the city manages to find the time to do an interview with the newspaper to remind us about garbage issues.

The city manages to put together teams to patrol our neighbourhoods to find and fine, or embarrass with stickers, people who aren’t sorting their garbage properly or have it out too early, or are watering on the wrong day or at the wrong time, but not the time to fix a wheel that was damaged by careless garbage pickup by a city contractor.

Friends have suggested I start calling every day. I don’t have time to wait on hold for half an hour or to stay home waiting for a callback. But I have thought of dragging my cart into city hall and trading it for the nice new one on display in the engineering department. Or even better, now that we have our property tax bills, I may drag it up and down the street in front of city hall with a sign on it that says: “Here’s Your Tax Dollars at Work for Seniors!”

Elaine Myers, Coquitlam

The Editor, I think the confidence vote in the legislature will happen this month because Premier Christy Clark said she wants it and the NDP and Greens cannot afford to wait.

I have heard the Trans Mountain pipeline is to begin construction in September and those parties will need to be in power to suppress it. The only holdup now is the selection of a house speaker but no MLA wants it because their party would lose voting power

in the legislature.

A solution to this dilemma is the NDP and Greens should choose a candidate who failed to win a riding. I think it is fair considering the circumstances and some failed candidates have vote counts comparable to elected candidates.

For example, the failed candidate with the highest was Gary Holman (NDP) of Saanich North with 10,764 votes — higher than the vote count of 29 elected candidates.

Vincent Lizee, Coquitlam

MUNICIPAL POLITICS

GOOD BANG FOR BUCKS

The Editor, Re. “Who says civic employees’ pay has to keep up to inflation?” (Letters, The TriCity News, May 31).

I am very happy to see that it appears that big money and unions will have less of an influence on provincial elections.

Now, if only we could keep them out of our civic politics.

I always thought it was

wise for the unions to support city council candidates during elections as they really seem to get great value for their campaign contributions. Let’s not forget about the developers, too, they’re nobody’s fool either.

Let’s hope that one day civic politics can be cleaned up.

$1.35M for upgrade work this summer at Mackin Drainage & field work among items on the project list JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam park will get a facelift starting this summer.

Next month, the city will begin $1.35 million worth of upgrades to sports facilities at Mackin Park in Maillardville.

On May 29, city council unanimously approved the budget for the 17-acre park after consulting with the Coquitlam Field Sport Association (CFSA). Among the work to be completed this fall: • draining, sand rebuilding and resodding the north play field; • moving the cricket batting cage and shifting the cricket pitch; • relocating the east ball diamond and building new backstop fencing; • and resurfacing and sodding the west ball diamond’s infield for full-field football play on the south side.

The improvements are expected to wrap up by November but the north field will be off-limits until May 2018 to allow the grass to grow.

Funding will come from the city’s Sports Field Strategy Program. The project was initially budgeted at $1.175 million.

Meanwhile, CFSA and city staff are also calling for up to $6 million in additional updates that would include expanding the parking lot by 25 cars, replacing the field house and replacing or renovating the Mackin Yard batting cage.

According to a report from Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture services, future funding would come from the Beedie Development Group, which has committed $500,000 to Mackin Park as part of its Fraser Mills redevelopment, and $1 million from Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, should it proceed.

UNITED OVERPASS WORK IN PROGRESS

SAME-DAY SERVICE

Traffic using the United Boulevard overpass that crosses over Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam should be prepared for some delays this summer due to road work.

Eurovia BC started deck rehabilitation work last week on the overpass — called the Colony Farm Overhead Bridge — with work continuing through the fall. Traffic will continue to move but minor delays may occur because only one lane will be open each way.

Construction noise should also be expected, project manager Mark Sheppard said in a press release.

SMILING CASH

Also on May 29, city council voted to spend another $250,000 on the Smiling Creek park project.

Andreea Toma, Coquitlam’s general manager of strategic initiatives, said the cost overrun is to pay for more rock blasting, excavation and backfill at the Burke Mountain site.

The 3.43-acre park site — now with a price tag of $3,050,000 — will be shared with the new Smiling Creek elementary school.

Other city parks currently being worked on are: Princeton Park ($906,500); Victoria Park ($1.95 million); Rochester Park ($4.84 million); Hartley Field ($1.4 million); and Mountain View Park ($1.51 million).

JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

A new Coquitlam sports facility that sometimes “sweated” and caused players to slip is back in service — full time.

Last week, city staff told council the $310,00 work to mitigate condensation at the Poirier Forum has wrapped up.

As reported in The Tri-City News last year, the city cancelled numerous practices and games at the Forum — located next to Dogwood Pavilion — after complaints the concrete floor was often wet and posed a liability.

The 21,830-sq. ft. unheated space, which opened in February 2015 and cost $3.9 million to build, has fans on either end of the aluminium structure, with exhaust vents at the ends as well as at the roof’s apex.

This past winter, improvements were made to the dehumidification system and ventilation after 22 practices and games were lost between October 2016 and March 2017 — down from 82 sessions lost during the same period the year before.

In January 2016, the city issued an apology for the cancellations to groups using the Forum. They include the Coquitlam Senior Adanacs

ANNUAL MAiNTeNANCe

Some $2 million worth of upgrades are coming across the road at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

The city will begin to convert the curling rink — after the 2017/’18 curling season — into a regular ice arena and to build more change rooms by September 2018.

As well, as of June 5, the complex — including the pool — is closed until July 2 for annual maintenance. The rinks will remain open during this time while the fitness centre will reopen on June 12.

The city is asking swimmers to use the City Centre Aquatic Complex (1210 Pinetree Way) in the meantime or one of the city’s two outdoor pools: Eagle Ridge and Spani. Visit coquitlam.ca/aquatics for schedules.

The moisture build-up also meant city staff had to be on site to monitor the floor and to clear water with squeegees.

PORT MOODY

PoMo residents, chime in on arts plan Feedback sought on arts & culture master plan MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

The City of the Arts is updating its arts and culture master plan — and it needs help from residents.

The plan, when implemented, will help guide the development of arts and culture resources and activities in Port Moody for the next 10 years.

Its goals include: • integrating arts and culture into all areas of city planning

and expanding their role in Port Moody’s economic development and tourism; • building the city’s cultural capacity with more investment in arts and culture infrastructure; • and expanding public art and using public spaces for arts and culture activities.

“Arts and culture are drivers in creating the quality of life and quality of place that attracts a talented workforce and new investment opportunities,” said the draft plan.

Work on the plan began in August 2016. It included a telephone survey in which 93% of 400 adult residents interviewed cited arts, culture and heritage

as important elements in their personal lives.

But 61% of those surveyed said they didn’t participate in Port Moody’s arts, cultural or heritage activities as much as they would like. The reasons cited include a lack of promotion of those activities, not enough variety of programs, lack of transportation or activities that just didn’t catch their interest.

The surveyed residents said they would like to see more encouragement of neighbourhood cultural activities, increased promotion of cultural activities, more access to free and low-cost cultural activities and better support for the development and growth of

creative industries.

The process also included focus groups hosted by city staff, artists and stakeholders in the arts and culture community, as well as a cultural forum and oneon-one telephone interviews with municipal, cultural, community and business leaders.

Residents can review the full draft plan and provide feedback until June 26 through an online form at www.portmoody.ca/ acmp. Those results will be considered by the city’s arts and culture committee, with any subsequent revisions to the master plan recommended to council in the early fall. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

The Austin Heights Business Improvement Association (AHBIA) officially formed in 2008. The primary objective was to revitalize the commercial core. Some of our early goals also included beautifying the area by removing graffiti, picking up litter and adding colourful street banners. As we achieved these goals, we looked to how we could support our local businesses. The idea for Daisy Day was born - a festival for Austin Heights that brought the neighbourhood together, supported business, and reached out to the community at large.

Why “Daisy Day”? The name came in part because the daisy is a cheerful, friendly icon, popular during the 1960s heyday of the Austin Heights business district. Coincidentally, it also blooms in June when the festival takes place!

Huge thanks to all of the generous sponsors, hardworking volunteers and fantastic businesses that have done a wonderful job in supporting this year’s 7th Annual Daisy Day!

Camp that unplugs at-risk youth in peril Funding future of Get Out! camping week uncertain MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

A call is going out to help save a unique program that takes marginalized and at-risk youth away from their cellphones to connect them with nature — and one another.

The Get Out! camping weekend was started in 2009 as a partnership between the city of Port Coquitlam and Metro Vancouver Parks to get young people from Grades 8 to 12 into nature without the digital distractions of text messages, Facebook updates and phone calls. It has since expanded to include up to 100 youth from seven municipalities around the Lower Mainland, from Vancouver to Maple Ridge.

Two years ago, however, the program lost its funding from Metro Vancouver. A grant from the Pacific Parklands Foundation covered half the $15,000 it cost to run the program that year but, since then, the seven municipalities have had to go it alone. And rising costs along with the ever-shifting landscape of municipal budgets have caused uncertainty about the program’s future, said Chris Eastman, PoCo’s recreation co-ordinator for youth services.

“It’s not a question of finding the youth who need this program,” said Eastman. “But with change comes uncertainty.”

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

At-risk and marginalized young people learn how to work together in a series of activities at the annual Get Out camp at Sasamat Outdoor Centre. The camp connects them with other youth from seven municipalities and nature, without the distraction of cell phones.

Eastman said since the program started, it has been an invaluable learning and personal growth tool for youth coping

with challenges such as socioeconomic hardship, academic performance, developmental or physical disabilities, and

even some minor run-ins with the law.

Participants, who apply for the camp through school

counsellors, youth workers or their school principal, leave their cellphones at home or deposit them in a container on

the bus that transports them to the camp at Sasamat Outdoor Centre in Belcarra Regional Park.

“Although cell phones are a great tool to help people connect, they also hurt connection,” said Eastman. “Without it, the kids play more, they’re more engaged, they’re willing to try more things instead of taking pictures or posting to Facebook.”

Once they arrive at the camp, the kids are thrown into a schedule of activities such as high-rope traverses, wall climbs, a scavenger hunt and art projects to connect with their fellow campers and the natural environment around them.

The idea, said Eastman, is to challenge the campers by taking them out of their comfort zone without the lifeline of checking in with their Snapchat friends.

“The kids really drop the waterline and realize they don’t need their phones,” said Eastman. “It’s a time to share, a time to connect with one another and make friends for life.”

Eastman said the positive effect can carry on beyond the three-day camping weekend.

“It’s a really moving time,” he said. “They realize they’re not alone.”

And while the campers used to get their phones back when they disembarked from the home-bound bus, they’re now returned an hour or so before they break camp. That’s so they can exchange contact information to stay connected with their newfound friends.

Major University hearing study seeks participants.

The SMART Lab under the direction of Frank Russo, Professor of Psychology at Ryerson University, in partnership with Connect Hearing, seeks participants for a hearing study investigating the factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided

by Connect Hearing at no charge*. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and potentially improve hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why Research Hearing Loss?

Deep inside our ears are several thousand microscopic “hair cells.” These cells are arranged in rows and each cell is responsible for hearing a specific pitch, similar to the keys on a piano. As we age, some of these cells become damaged… from loud noises, chronic conditions, or the

treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help.2 This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. By studying those people having difficulty in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

process of aging itself. Just like a piano with damaged keys, an ear with damaged hair cells will make things sound muffled and distorted. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss,1 but most do not seek

Pinetree secondary teacher Jillian Hopkin presides over a mock trial last week as students reenacted the trial of Kelly Ellard, who was convicted in the 1997 beating and drowning death of 14-year-old Reena Virk. The mock trial was a collaborative project of English 11 and Law 12 classes at the Coquitlam school.

PINETREE SECONDARY

Coquitlam students tackle tough topic in mock trial DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

In a brightly lit and crowded courtroom on a recent Wednesday, more than 30 witnesses and audience members heard a grim description of the bruises and lacerations to the body of teenager Reena Virk.

An otherwise healthy girl, who showed no signs of drug use, Virk’s body had visible bruising in her upper torso and face, “reminiscent of a major motor vehicle accident,” said the doctor who conducted the autopsy, and it appeared the girl had been in water for a week.

Thus, described, the sad tale of Virk, who was beaten by a swarm of teenagers in 1997, and later drowned, unfolded in Room A100 next to the office at Coquitlam’s Pinetree secondary school.

“It’s important that we remember these things happen and if we don’t remember we are bound to make the same mistakes,” said English teacher Jillian Hopkin, who for several days at her school has been the judge in the mock trial of Kelly Ellard, who in real life was convicted of second degree murder.

Hopkin said the mock trial was a way to bring English 11 and Law 12 students together over a topic of interest, while also encouraging empathy and intolerance of the kind of bullying and violent behavior that led to Virk’s untimely death.

After students expressed an interest in the notorious case after reading Under the Bridge: The True Story of the Murder of Reena Virk by Rebecca Godfrey, Hopkin,

fellow English teacher Tanya Dissegna and Law 12 teacher Mario Iacobucci decided to collaborate on the mock trial, with the students in the three classes participating either as witnesses, with characters drawn from the book, or as members of the legal team.

Hopkin also phoned the Virk family to get permission to do the mock trial.

“They were so gracious… it was a really emotional experience. They were so kind and so generous and very wonderful about the whole thing.”

Mario Iacobucci said his law students took the process seriously: “they are going to present the best case they can,” he said, and the outcome will be dependent on how well they do. “It’s not scripted,” he noted.

Meanwhile, the girl who played Kelly Ellard, sat quietly

in a make shift prisoner’s dock created with some upturned chairs.

“She’s going to be playing a pretty somber and remorseful character,” he said, admitting that it might be difficult to play the role.

As the mock trial continued, it appeared the students were very engaged, as they listened to the gruesome details of the real life event that rocked British Columbia for many years through three trials, until the final upheld conviction.

Ellard remains in prison in Abbotsford serving a life sentence, but has been granted temporary escorted absences from prison for doctor’s appointments and mom and tot classes to help with the baby she had last fall.

This is Monica.

Monica is an active member of her community.

Monica knows she can stay up to date by checking the local newspaper, in print and online, for the community calendar and other details about upcoming events and social gatherings.

Monica is smart.

Books feature fathers & the relationships with their kids A GOOD READ ANA CALABRESI

W

ith Father’s Day coming up on June 18, let’s reflect on the relationship we have with our men through books about the beautiful and, at times, complicated connections between fathers and their children.

Although Samuel Hawley’s past isn’t that pretty, he does his best to raise his daughter Loo on his own. When the girl turns 12, Hawley decides to settle down in his late wife’s hometown of Olympus, Mass..

Loo struggles to fit into her new life and school while also trying to learn about the mother she never knew. The girl slowly discovers secrets about her parents’ lives before she was born.

The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti is a coming-of-age novel and a literary thriller that goes back and forth in time. It’s a story about the fierce love of a father, whom the reader ends up empathizing with despite his flaws and shortcomings.

I’ve never seen a father with such vivid imagination as the one in Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman. After taking “ages and ages” to come back from a trip to the corner store to buy

milk, the father explains to his children what delayed him so long: He had been abducted by a spaceship. This was followed by many other adventures and near-death encounters across time and space as he tried to come back home while saving the precious milk for his children. Despite being a chapter book for young people, the humour in this story can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

Ta-Nehisi Coates reflects about the notion of race in America in the letters he wrote to his teenage son in Between the World and Me. His writing is brilliant, visceral and powerful.

Drawing from his experiences growing up in Baltimore in the 1980s and ’90s, and from historical events, Coates asks poignant questions and tries to explain what it means to be a black person in America.

As a father, his examples and thoughts on the matter of racism read like very important and timely advice to his son.

Your Father Sends his Love is a short story collection written

by Stuart Evers that explores the exciting and complicated connections between parents and children. A single father gets arrested for fiercely defending his gay son; a new dad reflects about his own father as he cares for his new infant son while his wife is at work; a grandfather

enjoys his grown granddaughter’s visit.

We often have a hard time picturing what our fathers were like when they were young.

Keith Negley explores this question in a sweet way through his bright illustrations in the picture book My Dad Used to Be so Cool. A young son ponders about his dad’s past life, when he used to play in a rock band, ride motorcycles and get cool tattoos. Now, Dad drives a van and does chores. The boy wonders why Dad changed but finds out he is still pretty awesome.

The One-In-A-Million Boy by Monica Wood tells the story of a unique 11-year-old and the unlikely relationship he develops with 104-year-old Ona Vitkus.

Quinn, the boy’s absent father, arrives to complete his dead son’s good deeds and embarks on a heartwarming journey with the old lady. Although the father is a secondary character in this book, he is the one who changes most in this beautiful intergenerational tale of redemption and self-compassion.

GREETINGS FROM THE VOLUNTEERS AT FESTIVAL COQUITLAM 2017

T

his weekend Festival Coquitlam will be hosting the 28th Annual Teddy Bear Picnic.

The Teddy Bear Concert, Teddy Bear Picnic and The Grande Parade are just three of the events organized by the Festival Coquitlam each year. We also sponsor the Como Lake Fishing Derby and the Lafarge Lake Family free Fishing Day. The Festival Coquitlam board is made up of a group of dedicated, community minded volunteers who are supported by many corporate citizens, community service groups and individuals. To prepare for these events, on average our board members work over 20 hours in the months leading up to them. As Chair I am always impressed with how much goes into planning our events. The dedication and determination of the Directors as they plan, acquire sponsorships from the local community, arrange marketing and contact entertainers, event vendors and partners is amazing.

We are grateful for the generosity of companies throughout the Tri-Cities and the Lower Mainland whose support makes it possible to host all of our events. Along with the City of Coquitlam, it is their continued contributions that have allowed us to welcome you to Town Centre Park this weekend.

The City of Coquitlam has been one of our largest contributors.

Another important part of our event is our volunteers.

Without them, it would not be possible to run the events year after year. They greet visitors to the park, help keep out parade route safe, keep the grounds of the parks clean and hundreds of other jobs to ensure everyone enjoys the weekend.

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at our free children’s concert Saturday afternoon, Grande Parade Sunday morning and please join us at our low cost family oriented Teddy Bear Picnic.

estival Coquitlam Society will be presenting the 28th annual Teddy Bear Picnic Grande Parade which will start in the RCMP parking lot, roll down Burlington then directly up Pinetree Way on Sunday June 11 at 9:45am.

This event marks the beginning of an exciting, fun filled day, as it precedes the opening of the Teddy Bear Picnic at Town Centre Park.

Entries in this year’s parade include marching bands, mascots, community youth groups, emergency services, dance groups, floats and more.

“The enthusiasm, community spirit and the willingness to give back to the community by participants involved in the parade is what keeps our volunteer committee involved in this event, as well as the other venues that Festival Coquitlam hosts over the summer” says Jeff Kennedy, Coquitlam Festival Society Chair.

“We have a wonderful and diverse community which is evident in the Teddy Bear Picnic Grande Parade every year. Without the dedication and participation of these groups, we would not have a parade to enjoy. We would like to invite all the families in this great community of ours to gather up the kids, their teddy bears and join together in celebrating a day of family fun.”

Youth orchestra plays for famine relief fund JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

About a month ago, Coquitlam violist Reg Quiring heard a message from the UN that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

The United Nations warned there would be a mass starvation in Africa if billions of dollars in aid didn’t come through.

The desperate plea was to avert the crisis, which is predicted to be on the same scale as after the Second World War. Quiring wanted to help and, as director of the Coquitlam Youth Orchestra, made a request to his young musicians to turn their year-end concert into a benefit show, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the Canadian Red Cross.

His junior, intermediate and senior members immediately signed on to the fundraiser, called Harmony Against Hunger.

And Quiring posted a link on his ensemble’s website (redcross.ca/coquitlamyouthorchestra) to ask for donations; as of Tuesday morning, the total stood at $2,750 — over and above the ticket sales to their June 10 concert at the Evergreen Cultural Centre.

Quiring, who is best known in the Tri-Cities for his New Year’s Eve recitals at the Evergreen with his pianist wife Rosemary O’Connor, said he hopes to raise a total of $7,000 for the charity; tax receipts are issued.

According to the Red Cross’ web page, the Africa Drought Appeal will help people in the

Their communities are in Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, Ethiopia and Nigeria.

The charity money is going to Red Cross and Red Crescent teams to provide food, water and medical treatment.

Best of all, Quiring said, is that every dollar donated

through the Coquitlam Youth Orchestra — as part of its Harmony Against Hunger campaign — will be matched by the federal government.

The cause is on the minds of the three soloist who will perform at the upcoming benefit show.

Violinist Yebin Kim, 15, a Grade 10 student at Pinetree secondary, said she wants to build awareness about the

famine through her senior performance. She will play a Mozart concerto movement.

“It’s important to think about people and help them,” said the Port Coquitlam resident who has played the violin for 10 years.

Harim Chang, the intermediate violin soloist from Maple Creek middle, said she likes the international focus for their year-end show. “We need to do something about this. We are living in the same world,” the 14-year-old said.

And cellist Ambre Argelies, 9, who is the junior soloist, said she’s especially pleased to make her debut. The Port Moody resident and École des Pionniers student is in her first year of the orchestra — a 146-member band that Quiring started four years ago in the rehearsal hall at Evergreen; it meets every Friday night during the academic year.

Quiring said his three groups have practised for months and are ready to perform their 45-minute sets before a paying audience.

Besides classical music, each show will also feature movie medleys from Harry Potter (juniors, at noon); The Pink Panther (intermediates, at 2:45 p.m.); and James Bond (seniors, at 1:15 p.m.).

As well, Red Cross representatives will be at the concert to speak about the fund.

No regrets after switching careers Or‘funds’ show Barrie moves into another form of therapy, healing JANIS CLEUGH

The Tri-CiTy News

A year ago, Sasha Barrie gave it all up: A secure job, its great hours, a pension and a cool workplace.

She was employed in administration at the Port Moody recreation complex for 15 years and, as a front-desk clerk, she knew — just about everyone — by their first name.

But it wasn’t enough.

Like many people in their 50s, Barrie looked around and asked herself, “Is this it?”

She had passion she wanted to pursue but couldn’t make the jump.

Her partner, Lynn Oldenburg, a facilities supervisor at the Port Moody rec centre, finally gave her the push.

Together, they opened White Lotus Divine Healing, an exclusive metaphysical store offering holistic healing products and therapies — a first of its kind in the Tri-Cities.

Because Barrie had practised alternative forms of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual insight for years, she recognized there was a demand locally.

“There are a lot of people who, like me, are looking for

something more because they’re not finding the answers they need through traditional means,” Barrie said.

In their St. Johns Street business — a former chiropractor’s office — they sell locally sourced goods such as stone and crystal jewellery, teas, herbs, aromatherapy and books. The mini precious rocks take the centre spot — a favourite with the kids, Barrie said.

On the sides, there are rooms for their nine practitioners, all of whom bring their own skill sets and customer base as well as lead workshops on site.

The practitioners — Christine Constance, Lea Ceri, Maric Bajric, Kelly Delbianco, Christine Brian, Diane MacDonald, Rosemary King, Zoey Wren and Mette Joy Drager — work in a range of mediums: energy kinesiology, intuitive readers, energy/ sound healing, hypnotherapy, meditation, shamanic healing, counselling, tarot reading, reflexology and akashic records reading. “We have got everything you need here,” Barrie said while scanning the store.

Educators and healers will demonstrate at White Lotus Divine Healing for its first-year celebration at an open house on Saturday, from noon to 5 p.m.

New collage series looks from the inside, outside JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Susan Jessop looks at her residency as a gift — albeit, a short one.

On April 1, the Coquitlam resident started her threemonth gig — at The Outlet in Leigh Square Community Arts Village — to focus on a collage series she hopes to exhibit soon.

The stint meant she was able to leave her kitchen table, where she had been plying her trade, and get out of the house.

In the Port Coquitlam village, Jessop said, adults and school children often pop in to inquire about what’s she doing.

“It’s been really great,” she said. “They ask a lot of questions and we explore ideas together. It’s good to talk about things and get a different perspective.”

The creative input has spurred her on and sped up her production levels, she said.

For her art the British native uses simple techniques, employing retro images from Canadian landscape and design books — collected at thrift stores — cutting them out with sharp scissors and an

Xacto knife and sorting them according to category.

Then, Jessop groups the images onto an 18” by 24” white canvas to line up with her theme — in this case, a looking-in/looking-out scene.

Once she achieves her pleasing but contrasting layout, Jessop glues the paper or cloth images onto the canvas with an Elmer’s gel stick.

And, once the piece is dry, Jessop will snap a picture for her Instagram followers. The

social media photography app (@naturescardigan) offers plenty of feedback. “It’s great to get that kind of immediate connection without leaving the studio,” Jessop said.

Original paintings on sale Still life and landscapes of Port Moody, Coquitlam and other Metro Vancouver communities grace the 20th-floor condo of Simone Sullivan.

It’s the place where the retiree and five-year member of the Coquitlam Art Club practises her craft each morning, depicting peaceful and colourful scenes with acrylic and watercolour paints from her kitchen table.

The self-taught artist has painted most of her life and, now that Sullivan has more time on her hands, she likes to get out and meet other likeminded seniors at Dogwood Pavilion, which runs the club

from its city facility.

So far this year, the club has brought in five professionals to demonstrate before members, during their Wednesday afternoon gatherings: Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki, Leanne Christie, Sue Cowan, Elena Markelova and Mike Svob.

And, this weekend, they will show the fruits of their labour at an annual show in the Centennial Pavilion at Dogwood Pavilion (1655 Winslow Ave.).

About 200 original pieces will be exhibited on Saturday and Sunday, with some 15 members showcasing and selling their work on two tables

each. Sullivan will have four or five larger paintings available for purchase as well as a handful of smaller pieces. “It’s always a great weekend and it’s so nice to be able to meet people and see their reaction to your work,” she said.

It’ll be a busy weekend at Dogwood as its photography club will also host its fifth annual show during the same hours as the art club’s. Entry is free. As well, the Fraser Pacific Rose Society will have its yearly rose and floral art display, from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

Admission to that show is $3.50 at the door.

GIRLS SOCCER

Seniors step up for Centennial MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Going into the season, Larry Moro knew his Centennial Centaurs senior girls soccer team was good enough to be among the best in the province.

But it was the leadership of his senior players that made their bronze medal in last week’s Provincial AAA championship tournament at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex happen.

Coming off a tough, emotional loss in extra time to Panorama Ridge in the semi-finals on Thursday, the Centaurs were flat and listless in the first half of Friday morning’s match against Sardis for third place. The Falcons controlled the tempo of play, got to balls quicker, and a brilliant strike put them up 1-0 at halftime.

“It’s a tough rebound to lose the semi-final like that,” said Moro. “We weren’t in sync in the first half.”

But as his team regrouped on the sidelines, senior players like Catrina Olstrom, Nicole Chursinoff, Risako Kazemi, Alicia Ungaro, Victoria Yule and Kara Plican spoke up; they didn’t want to end their high school playing careers on a downer. They wanted to fulfill the promise their coach had seen in them.

“They demanded everyone step up,” said Moro. “I didn’t have to say a word.”

Olstrom put a boot to her words when she hammered home the tying goal off a pinpoint cross from Kiara Buono to finish a play started

by Danae Robillard, who was named the player of the match.

The Centennials continued to press, dominating the field in the second half. Their pres-

sure was rewarded by Jadyn Vance who headed home the game-winner that started as a corner kick by Matisse Jones to Olstrom.

Centennial, which finished ninth in last year’s provincials, was a bit of a darkhorse heading into this year’s tournament.

They finished league play with four wins and two losses, the same as Dr. Charles Best and Terry Fox, and behind Heritage Woods who were undefeated.

But when the injury-riddled Kodiaks were upset in the Fraser Valley regionals, that opened the door for the Centennials, said Moro.

“I’d put my team against anyone,” said Moro. “We knew we could play against everybody.”

The strength of the competition in the Fraser Valley tournament was also good preparation for the finals. In fact, all four of the semi-final teams in the provincials were from the Fraser Valley Secondary Schools Soccer Commission, which sent seven qualifiers to Burnaby.

“If you can get through the Valleys, you’ve got a shot,” said Moro. “You’re battlehardened.”

And if it was the seniors who helped put Centennial on the podium this year, it’s a bumper crop of up-and-coming younger players who could propel them even higher next season, said Moro.

“We’ve built a great base,” said Moro. “We have a score of young talent. We want to put ourselves in the same position to win a medal next year.

INDIVIDUAL HONOURS Catrina Olstrom was awarded the tournament’s Golden Boot for the second year in a row. Kara Plican was named to the Commissioners Eleven all-star team.

Panorama Ridge won the title when they defeated Fleetwood Park 2-1 on penalty kicks.

EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD DEAL

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Dr. Charles Best forward Kathleen Deady is knocked off the ball by a Kitsilano defender in the first half of their opening round match at the BC High School Girls AAA provincial soccer championships which was played last week at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West.

The Blue Devils placed 11th in the tournament. They finished pool play with three draws, then lost their first-round playoff match, 2-1, to South Delta.

HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY

BCJALL

Ravens win Tier II title tilt Jr. Adanacs stay on top

PoCo school had to beat former foes to get there

Revenge can be a powerful motivator.

In fact, the Terry Fox Ravens senior boys rugby team used it to power their way to the AAA Tier II provincial final Saturday in Abbotsford where they defeated Penticton secondary 30-20.

The Ravens, who were seeded second in the eight team tournament, surged to an early advantage then surged again when Penticton tried to close the gap. Two tries by Adam Janicijevic and one by Harrison Pride gave Terry Fox a 15-10 lead at half time.

Zander Bailey and Brendan Dieno widened Fox’ margin to 25-10 after the break. But Penticton fought back to within five points before Matt Shuen sealed the win with his fifth try of the tournament with four minutes left in the match.

Shuen was subsequently named to the tourney’s first allstar team.

To reach the final, though, the Ravens had to get through two opponents who’d been their nemesis on previous occasions.

Their first match was against West Vancouver, who had

The Ravens won the Tier II provincial championship in Abbotsford on Saturday with a 30-20 victory over Penticton. defeated the Ravens in the championship tournament two years ago. This time the Ravens took a commanding lead but had to hang on for an 18-17 win. Shuen scored two tries while Kyle Picard scored the other.

In Thursday’s semi-final,

Terry Fox were able to avenge a 24-19 loss earlier in the season to Argyle by thumping the Pipers 20-7. Again, Shuen punched the ball into the scoring area twice and Devin Passaglia scored the Ravens’ third try.

“We had an amazing core

of kids who have been with the rugby program since grade 9,” said coach Jorge Knizek who called his team “the most disciplined rugby squad that Fox has ever had” in his 12 years at the helm. sports@tricitynews.com

The Coquitlam Adanacs are riding high.

A 12-5 win over the Langley Thunder Friday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex was their eighth in a row. But they’re going to have to keep winning if they’re to solidify their position atop the BC Junior A Lacrosse League standings.

That’s because the New Westminster Salmonbellies are also racking up victories. They’ve won four in a row since their only loss of the season so far, two weeks ago to the Adanacs. They’re now just two points behind Coquitlam with a game in hand. By the time the two rivals meet again next Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena they’ll be on even terms in games played and could be in the standings as well.

Against the Thunder, Coquitlam was able to avenge its only loss of the season by taking a commanding 4-1 lead into the first intermission. They built on that by outscoring the visitors 4-2 in the

Thomas Semple scored twice and added five assists to lead Coquitlam’s offence.

Dennon Armstrong scored four times and pitched in with one helper. John Hofseth also had a fivepoint night with a goal and four assists.

Coquitlam hosts the sixth-place Delta Islanders tonight (Wednesday) at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. They then travel to Nanaimo on Saturday to play the Timbermen in advance of their showdown with New West.

The Salmonbellies played the PoCo Saints on Tuesday, then meet Langley and the Victoria Shamrocks prior to next week’s date with the Adanacs. New West currently has the league’s second-best offence with 126 goals, and its stingiest defence, having allowed only 56 goals in 10 games.

• The PoCo Saints lost 9-7 to the Victoria Shamrocks at the Q Centre on Saturday.

RINKE, Russell Victor

May 24, 1941 - June 4, 2017 (76 years old) With heavy hearts Russell’s family announces his peaceful passing on a sunny Sunday afternoon, June 4, 2017. Our Popsy will never be forgotten and will be forever missed by his wife Linda, two girls, Karen (Dave) Laustrup and Audrey (Tony) Jones and grandchildren Carly (Joel), Wade, Meghan and Leah and great grandchild Keaton.

Russell was predeceased by his brothers Bob and Wayne. He will be deeply missed by his sister Pat and loving family members.

Russell was born in Castlegar in 1941 and grew up in Port Moody. He later moved to Port Coquitlam where he and Linda raised their girls before building their family home in Coquitlam in 1981. Wherever Russell went there was never a shortage of good friends and lasting relationships. The endless amount of love and friendship Russell had for his family and anyone that crossed his path was immeasurable. He will always be remembered as the kindest, most giving, husband, dad, Popsy, friend and neighbour. He had a generous heart and a colourful sense of humour. The door to his home was always open and the coffee was always hot.

Please join us for a celebration of Russell’s life on Friday, June 9th at 2 pm at the Old Orchard Hall, 600 Bentley Road, Port Moody, BC. Russ would want you to come as you are; no fancy suits or shiny shoes.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Topaz ring and diamond cluster ring- huge reward.
