AMMONIA LEAK

Post-Fernie, are Tri-City rinks safe?

Local officials say a variety of safety measures in place DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Public ice rinks in the TriCities are safe with trained staff, well-maintained equipment, detectors to spot ammonia leaks and emergency procedures to deal with them, say local municipal parks and facilities managers.

The assurances come as Fernie deals with the tragic deaths of three workers who were killed Tuesday by a leak of anhydrous ammonia at the Fernie Memorial Arena.

The city of Coquitlam has strict protocols for dealing with ammonia to chill its ice and a rigorous maintenance and monitoring program to prevent and identify leaks of the toxic substance at its three arenas, says facilities manager Kevan Cornes.

Similarly, Port Moody has procedures in place as required by provincial safety authorities and staff have refrigeration operators certification, Ron Higo, general manager of community services told The Tri-City News in an email.

As well, the Port Moody Fire Rescue completed a review of the arena’s refrigeration system safeguards on Wednesday. see SAFETY RULES, page 3

The rain got so bad and the field so wet that the game was suspended after the first half, with the second half played on Thursday.

FERNIE AMMONIA LEAK

Safety rules & equipment in place continued from front page

While the tragic Fernie incident is still under investigation and exactly what happened isn’t yet known, the local cities say their facilities have no history of ammonia leaks that would require emergency procedures and evacuations. But all are constantly maintaining and monitoring their systems.

In Port Coquitlam, which has a contractor to deal with its ammonia systems, safety procedures were updated in July and the PoCo Fire and Rescue will train in dealing with ammonia in October and November as part of its annual hazardous materials training, city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said in an email.

The cities say they are aware of the outcome of the ammonia leak in Fernie and will follow any directives issued through sources such as WorkSafe BC, BC Safety Authority, the Recreation Facilities Association of BC and the BC Recreation & Parks Association.

Coquitlam’s Cornes told The Tri-City News that city facilities staff will be keeping abreast of the situation in Fernie and will be following any directives issued by WorkSafe BC.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Coquitlam maintenance worker Adrian Durose (left) puts on a respirator mask in a room in the PoCo rec complex where ammonia is used to chill brine that is pumped under the arena floor to keep the ice cold. Before entering the room, workers must check an indicator that shows if there is any ammonia in the atmosphere.

Typically, the monitor shows zero parts per billion, as it did yesterday, when The Tri-City News visited. If any ammonia is detected, workers must don their respirators. However, the city has never had a leak requiring an emergency evacuation. If a small amount is noticed on the pipes, workers are trained to do the repair or a contractor is called in. A blue light in the arena (above) would flash if there was enough ammonia in the air to require evacuation. But the room where the chilling equipment is kept is not open to the arena so the possibility that would occur is unlikely.

“We have a tonne of protocols and checks and balances. We have staff 24/7 constantly monitoring the equipment when the plant is in operation, which for us is almost year round except for three or four weeks,” he said.

As well, he said the city has a computer monitoring system to detect ammonia gas in the air

and evacuation procedures in place in the event of the leak — for both staff and the public.

Still, such leaks are rare, he said, and staff are well-trained to ensure a safe environment for workers and the community. “We haven’t had a leak here in many, many years and nothing like what Fernie has

just gone though, and no leaks where people have been injured,” Cornes said. “We have the odd minor leak, which is something we can deal with and could be dealt with fairly easy by our own staff and contracted service.”

Port Moody’s Higo also said there is no history of ammonia

leaks in that city.

According to WorkSafe BC, www. tricitynews .com pure ammonia gas is a dangerous substance and can cause serious injury or even death. It has detailed requirements for handling the substance in its Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. www. tricitynews.com Cornes said the city will

be paying close attention to WorkSafeBC’s Fernie investigawww. tricityn tion and any regulation changes that are made as a result.

In the meantime, he said he is confident that any leaks, if they occur, would be caught and dealt with safely.

Volunteers sought to sell trees, help foster children and moms Xmas tree sales begin Nov. 24 at Aunt Leah’s lots DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Standing in the cold can warm your heart if it’s for the right cause.

At least that’s the hope behind Aunt Leah’s Trees, the Christmas tree lot that sells

fragrant fir trees to raise funds for programs for moms in need and youth aging out of foster care.

Hope Rayson, volunteer coordinator for Aunt Leah’s Place, said as many as 500 volunteers are needed for shifts between Nov. 24 and Dec. 23 at its five locations, including one at Coquitlam’s Eagle Ridge United Church (2813 Glen Dr.).

“Not only are you giving back to foster youth aging out

and moms with babies, you are working with Christmas trees — and the smell is amazing,” Rayson told The Tri-City News.

Volunteer and even some paid positions are available, and Rayson said families are particularly welcome to help out, with some making the annual tree sales a regular event.

It’s also good for teenagers looking for volunteer hours to complete their graduation requirements, although the minimum age is 15 to participate

unless you’re with a family.

Shifts are typically for four hours and volunteers have access to a heated tent as well as water, tea and hot water.

Rayson said the experience is enjoyable because everyone is in the holiday spirit.

“It’s a really great fun and festive work environment.”

Zoning Amendments for Bylaw No. 4023 and Bylaw No. 4030 Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 4023

DIANE STRANDBERG

The purpose of this Bylaw is to provide for a number of minor housekeeping amendments.

Tri-CiTy News

SkyTrain ridership is up, West Coast Express (WCE) ridership is down.

But the slight dip in the commuter rail numbers is not a concern, says a TransLink spokesperson, and won’t result in reduced service.

September boardings on WCE were down 10.4% to 190,000 at the same time SkyTrain ridership has jumped 10.6%.

Chris Bryan, a TransLink spokesperson, said while some riders have switched to the Evergreen Extension, anticipated growth in the suburbs east of the Tri-Cities will continue to provide new riders for the WCE. He cited a projected increase in riders from Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge and said, “It’s a great option for people who are just heading straight downtown and want a one-seat ride. It’s more convenient than SkyTrain for a lot of people, we think.”

Meanwhile, TransLink is expressing enthusiasm over what has been a record-breaking month for transit ridership generally in the Lower Mainland.

According to a press release this week, September saw 36 million transit boardings, a 6.2% increase over last September — and the highest number since February 2010,

SEPTEMBER TRANSIT NUMBERS • 22 million bus boardings, up 3.4%; • 9.2 million Expo/Millennium Line boardings, up 10.6%; • four million Canada Line boardings, up 6.1%; • 510,000 SeaBus boardings, up 5.1%; • and 190,000 West Coast Express boardings, down 10.4%. when the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games were held.

Some of the growth can be attributed to the addition of the Evergreen Extension to the Millennium Line, Bryan said, because it resulted in more people taking transit for the first time.

“It just creates better connectivity overall,” Bryan said.

For example, average weekday boardings for the Evergreen Extension have grown to 34,000

per week, a 13% increase over pre-summer levels.

TransLink also credits recent transit improvements, funded through the 10-Year Vision, a strong regional economy, high gas prices and stable transit fares for the increase in ridership.

If numbers hold steady.

TransLink predicts more than 400 million boardings for the system by the end of December.

All members of the public will have a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions about the bylaw at the hearing.

Council cannot receive new or additional information on this application after the public hearing.

‘Think before you act,’ prof says in wake of social media dust-up Restaurant owner says he’d defend business again MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

A Port Moody restaurateur is unrepentant about the strategy he employed to try to douse a firestorm of negative reviews on social media.

But an expert in social media at the University of British Columbia says business owners have to exercise patience and self-control so online interactions don’t spin out of control.

Ross Edwards, who has owned Saint St. Grill on St. Johns Street for 19 years, said the whole conflagration was sparked when a table of guests celebrating a birthday was asked to leave because their table was needed for another party that had a reservation.

He admits the confusion was a mistake but the restaurant was full and there was nowhere else to move the birthday party.

Still, he was unprepared for what happened next.

Edwards told The Tri-City News the birthday celebrants “understood” and “left cordially,” after he offered his profuse apologies.

Shortly after, however, negative reviews started appearing on Facebook and other social media relating the incident.

Edwards said he reached out to the posters, expressed his apologies and offered to make up for the mistake. He said he thought they ended the conversation on good terms and the negative reviews were removed.

But the damage had already been done.

Edwards said when he checked Facebook and review sites like Yelp, Google and TripAdvisor the next morning, there were number of new negative reviews.

That’s when things really unspooled.

“Unfortunately, the internet is the Wild West.”

Ronnie Haywood, customer

“A small thing can have huge repercussions. Consumers have a voice... and people can latch on to it.”

Wahiba Chair, UBC business professor Edwards said he “appropriately reached out” to some of the authors to try to clarify the situation and ask them to remove their negative comments.

But at least one of those authors said Edwards contacted his employer, a move he said was “intimidating.”

Ronnie Haywood, 29, said Edwards called his manager at Brew St. Craft Kitchen, a Port Moody pub and eatery where he’s the head chef, to implore him to use his influence to get Haywood to take down his review.

“I was so shocked,” said Haywood. “It’s the complete opposite of what you should do.”

Wahiba Chair, a senior marketing strategist and instructor at the UBC Sauder School of Business who specializes in social media, agrees. She said it’s important for businesses to take the high road, especially when dealing with negative feedback on social media.

“Word can travel very quickly on social media,” Chair told The Tri-City News. “A small thing can have huge repercussions.

Consumers have a voice, they have a community and people can latch on to it.”

Chair said business owners need to educate themselves as much as they can about social media and its implications. And

when a crisis happens, “it’s very important to take time to think before you act.”

Edwards said he accepts critical reviews but as he saw more and more of them piling up from authors he suspected had never even been to his restaurant, he felt bullied.

“If you attempt to cyberbully my business, my or my employees’ livelihood, and I can find a way to apply pressure to have you change your despicable and harmful posts, and maybe even your ways, I will,” Edwards said.

But Chair said fighting fire with fire can backfire. Instead, it’s better to be proactive to ensure any online exchange doesn’t disintegrate.

“User-generated content like reviews and comments on Facebook is the most trustworthy content we have,” she said. “You want to make sure you take control of that because there’s no hiding. It’s an age of transparency and you want to be preventative.”

Edwards said he’s going to pay closer attention to online reviews of his restaurant. But in spite of the negative publicity he has garnered, wouldn’t change his actions.

“Unfortunately,” he said, “the internet is the Wild West.” mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

DENTURE WEARERS! PoCo is talking pot COME IN AND RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION AND DENTURE CARE PACKAGE FREE!

JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam will add its voice to a province-wide consultation on the upcoming legalization of marijuana.

PoCo, which last year had recreational cannabis dispensaries before the city shut them down, is so far the only Tri-City council to make a formal comment.

Last month, B.C. Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth — also MLA for PoCo — invited local governments as well as police, health officials, farmers and First Nations representatives to make a submission on how the distribution and sale of pot would affect their jurisdictions.

(The general public can also have its say by filling out a survey at engage.gov.bc.ca/bccannabisregulation.) Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. is the feedback deadline.

PoCo’s draft letter is due to go before the city’s finance and intergovernmental committee next Tuesday and spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said the letter will address PoCo’s concerns around: • public consumption; • both personal and commercial cultivation and production; • safety for commercial cultivation and production; • distribution and retail models; • revenue sharing; • drug-impaired driving; • and the minimum age for consumption.

Neither Coquitlam or Port Moody city councils has

Cannabis Culture sold recreational marijuana from its Shaughnessy Street store; it closed in February. made a formal comment, although Coquitlam council members can take the survey on their own, city spokesperson Kathleen Vincent told The TriCity News.

Canada will be the second country in the world to legalize recreational cannabis; Bill C-45 is due to take effect in July.

Still, provinces can make changes to the federal Cannabis Act, tailored to their own jurisdiction, by raising the minimum legal age of 18 for purchase and possession and setting more restrictions.

At last month’s Union of BC Municipalities convention, delegates endorsed a special resolution to get municipalities at the table as the provincial ministry develops a regulatory framework around legalized weed.

It’s expected Farnworth will introduce provincial legislation in time for the spring session of the legislature, in February. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Safer parks

The city of Burnaby is taking extra precautions in its parks in the wake of the murder in July of 13-year-old Marrisa Shen.

The city is looking at bike patrols with bylaw officers cruising through some of its larger parks, installing security cameras in Central Park, where Shen’s boy was found, adding more lighting, enhancing signage and establishing call boxes. It says the initiatives have been discussed for years and are not just because of Shen’s untimely death.

Sadly, there have been no charges in Shen’s murder and it remains a tragedy and an unsolved mystery for the family and the community, who are seeking closure.

It makes sense to step up security in large urban parks but how far should cities — including the cities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody — go to keep their parks safe?

Even if there were more lights or call boxes, people should always be careful, especially once it gets dark.

Using common sense and watching out for each other, those are key initiatives and easy to employ in our neighbourhoods.

Journalism matters more than ever. Save it

O

n Sept. 1, an agency of the Canadian government directed nearly $100 million to support local television news.

Suddenly, more local TV reporters are working stories on more broadcasts across Canada.

But why just television? Why not newspapers or digital-only publications? It’s the reporting of news that’s important, not the platform on which it resides.

Please adjust the dial. There’s something wrong with this picture.

The answer is purely bureaucratic. Television is regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, which collects a levy on the revenues of cable and satellite distributors and then redirects the funds into producing content deemed to serve the public good, such as TV news.

Other parts of the government of Canada, supported by the same taxpayers, have so far resisted measures to bolster an industry that plays an essential role in our democracy, one that’s even explicitly written into the Charter of Rights.

The situation is bad and getting worse. More and more newspaper jobs are disappearing — at least one in three since 2010 by our count — and newspaper closings in more than 200 federal NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

“We are seeing in the United States the critical role newspaper companies are playing in keeping the public informed of deep stresses in American democracy.” ridings have loosened the social glue news provides to communities. These reporter-intensive organizations are the tributaries for much of the news about democratic institutions generated in Canada, both in print and online. Digital news start-ups in Canada, with a few exceptions, so far have been unable to fill the growing deficit in reporting capacity.

Please adjust the dial. There’s something wrong with this picture. This isn’t a good time to allow the weakening of news organizations.

We are seeing in the United States the critical role newspaper companies, particularly the New York Times and Washington Post, are playing in keeping the public informed of deep stresses in

American democracy. The classic relationship between whistleblowers and reporters can’t work if the latter become an endangered species.

In Canada, the threat is more acute because the market is smaller. Canadian daily newspapers have seen more than half their ad revenues — about $1.5-billion — bleed away over the past decade, most of it going to Google and Facebook, which together served up more than eight out of 10 digital ads in Canada last year.

Unfortunately, they don’t invest in generating news.

Meanwhile, as the sources of verifiable news dry up, fake news — designed to disorient and disillusion the public — proliferates.

Making something up or simply distorting facts costs a fraction of real reporting. Whether for commercial, partisan, ideological or geopolitical reasons, it represents a direct assault on our democracy. Again, there’s something wrong with this picture.

In many places, calling the mayor the day after council meetings for an account of what happened constitutes coverage of city hall. Even in provincial capitals, some governments go uncovered in between legislative sessions and fewer specialists work the corridors of power in Ottawa. see CBC SHOWS, page 20

High-density development near transit is a priority under a bylaw passed earlier this month by Port Moody city council.

PORT MOODY

Development and density The Editor, Re. “Higher densities for some parts of PoMo” (The TriCity News, Oct. 13).

According to The Tri-City News’ report, at a recent city council meeting in Port Moody, the topic of higherdensity redevelopment was vigorously debated. It was stated: “Coun. Diana Dilworth said measuring the impact of development on road congestion is hard to pin down.”

Fortunately, TransLink has a regional road network model to assess the impact of land use change on morning peak hour trip generation and road congestion.

The city of Port Moody could commission a transportation study, using the EMME/2 regional model, to investigate the impact of the Flavelle, Ioco and other redevelopments on our major roads.

A study might be pointless

as the city would forego property tax revenue if it capped redevelopment while TransLink has to pay for regional road improvements.

D.B. Wilson, Port Moody

‘DISMAYED’

The Editor, I am dismayed and angry with Port Moody city council for passing the bylaw to prioritize higher density development in areas well-served by

VILLAGE OF BELCARRA “Between Forest and Sea”

public transit.

This amendment overrides Port Moody’s official community plan, which was supported by many PoMo citizens.

Does this higher density development include additional libraries, schools, and indoor and outdoor facilities such as ice rinks, swimming pools, gyms, and parks and playing fields, all of which will be needed?

E. Odynsky, Port Moody

Comparisons would help in KFN coverage The Editor, Re. “Disclosure shows big bucks for KFN’s chief” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 4).

First, let me disclose that I am just an average person with no expertise in economics, business or executive pay packages. I, like most of us, am continually shocked and flabbergasted by the enormous amounts of pay that are given to business executives.

This story, about the chief of the Kwikwetlem First Nation receiving more than a quarter of a million dollars in the last fiscal year, is just another of those stories.

Without putting this story into that context, however, I believe that it feeds racial discrimination, which is rampant against First Nations people. Saying

If you thought getting around during Wednesday’s monsoon was damp and miserable, imagine doing it on two wheels.

That’s the reality for bike commuters and the challenge of Bike to Work Week, an initiative of the HUB cycling advocacy group running from Oct. 23 to 29 to celebrate and encourage getting to and from work by bicycle.

While cycling to work may be enticing when the sun is out and the days are warm and dry, the coming months of darkness and rain can cower even the hardiest cyclist. Nick Paquette’s job is to make sure that doesn’t happen.

The sales manager at the Trek Bike Store in Port Coquitlam (the former Cap’s Westwood Cycle) said safety and comfort technology has advanced so much, there’s no reason for bike commuters to fear the dreariness of a west coast fall and winter.

“Being cold and wet is one of the most uncomfortable feelings,” Paquette said. “You’ve got to be prepared for what you’re getting into.”

That preparation starts with ensuring your ride is safe. That means being visible, Paquette said.

Just as cars are now required to run with headlights on at all times, Paquette recommends cyclists to the same, with small blinking tail lights and forward lights that will catch the attention of motorists as well as pedestrians.

WE HAVE A WINNER! MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Nick Paquette, the sales manager at Port Coquitlam’s Trek Bike Store, demonstrates some of the safety and comfort equipment — including high-powered headlights, blinking tail lights and highvisibility clothing — to get bike commuters through the dark, rainy months ahead.

NEW CYCLING MAP The city of Coquitlam has unveiled a new cycling map as part of Bike to Work Week. It offers a detailed description of the Tri-Cities’ cycling network, differentiating between off-street routes, on-street routes and informal routes. It also locates bicycle lockers and bike maintenance stations throughout TriCities. The map is posted to www.coquitlam.ca/cycling. the darkness, small, rechargeable bike headlights mounted on the handlebar are now almost as bright as car headlights.

Paquette recommends a light that can throw at least 150 lumens if you ride at a medium pace, and 500 lumens or more if you’re a speedster. That ensures the road or trail ahead of you is bright enough for far enough that you can react to any hazards.

And given the kind of weather we get in the fall and winter, the lights should also be waterproof and dustproof.

But the biggest visual cue to

Helping you with life’s up and downs!

alert other traffic there’s a cyclist present is the cyclist.

Paquette said it’s important to wear bright clothing that stands out in the daylight, and is equipped with reflective material when it starts getting dark. It’s especially important to have that reflective material affixed to parts of the body that are moving, like legs and hands, as those moving bits are more likely to attract attention.

Of course, those clothes should also afford protection from the elements, especially for extremities like hands and feet.

But no amount of money invested in equipment, clothing, gloves and booties can motivate a cyclist into the cold and rain.

That has to come from within.

Paquette said the best way for bike commuters to condition themselves for the discomforts of fall and winter riding is to build up to it by riding once a week, then twice and so on.

“That gives you a sense for what your discomforts are and the strategies to overcome them,” Paquette said.

• There will be three celebration stations in the Tri-Cities during Bike to Work Week where cyclists can fuel up, get their bike checked or get a membership to HUB: on Monday at Ioco Road and Murray Street from 4 to 6 p.m.; Wednesday at Guildford and Pinetree ways from 6:30 to 9 a.m.; and Thursday at Foster Avenue and Poirier Street from 3:30 to 6 p.m.

OPINION: NEWS MEDIA

CBC shows gov.-funded press can be independent continued from page 12

From a public-policy point of view, this raises vexing questions. Nobody wants to give governments leverage over the reporters meant to hold them to account. That said, the CBC is both publicly funded and independent, so it’s not an impossible task.

We see two problems that cry out for attention: getting more reporters on the ground and fi-

nancing innovation so that news producers can keep up with evolving consumption habits.

Last April, on the heels of The Shattered Mirror report on news, democracy and truth in Canada, the Public Policy Forum brought together about 40 news organizations and unions to propose solutions that would support employment of reporters and investment in innovation without sacrificing media independence or shut-

ting out new competitors. Out of this process came a proposal to add a new component to the well-established Canadian Periodical Fund, one that would support journalism of a civic, or democratic-enhancing, nature.

This new Canadian Journalism Fund would feature a pre-programmed formula to cover 30% of the costs of reporting, creating an incentive to hire rather than fire reporters and, critically, denying governments

the discretion to play favourites.

We have established a definition for who qualifies and an appeals process independent of government. As well, companies would be forbidden from diverting the funds to dividends, bonuses and debt payments.

There are those who rightly worry any government involvement would compromise a free press. But a broke press isn’t much of a free press.

Others contend it’s best to wait

for news organizations to go bankrupt and then pick up the pieces. But once in bankruptcy court, it is the debt holders and not the public interest that is served, as we saw in 2010 when Postmedia emerged out of bankruptcy court with bondholders as owners and an unbearable burden of debt.

Some say the companies seeking assistance are doomed in any case. That may be true but established news compa-

nies and start-ups should be given five years to prove they can make a go of it. The alternative of more and more fake news and less and less reported news is antithetical to the precepts of a healthy democracy.

TC SPOTLIGHT BUGS AWARD

Tri-City News staff Manny Kang and Monica Ariken joined other business leaders on Tuesday for the second annual Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase, held at the Executive Plaza Hotel in Coquitlam.

Coquitlam actor Christian van Geyn is part of a Douglas College theatrical production next month.

Van Geyn is featured in Concord Floral by the award-winning Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill. Presented by the college’s departments of theatre and stagecraft & event technology, the show runs Nov. 3 to 10 at the New Westminster campus.

“It’s incredible, current, tough to do, exciting and scary. We’re working really hard on a complex play with 10 actors on stage and two moving walls. So, everyone’s working hard to make the story,” director Kathleen Duborg said in a press release. For tickets and times, visit corncordfloral.brownpapertickets.com.

Coquitlam HVAC contractor Moore & Russell Heating gave a Lennox furnace — for free — to Kelle Fletcher of Langley as part of the HEAT UP British Columbia program, which started in 2010 in the U.S.

Two Coquitlam students are among five SFU undergraduates in the Beedie School of Business to receive the inaugural Ryan Beedie Leadership Awards.

The new scholarships, worth $20,000 each over four years, will be given to Kirsten Milic, a Dr. Charles Best secondary grad, and Musa Fortin, a Inquiry Hub secondary grad, to recognize their leadership while at high school.

“Since making the gift to establish the Beedie School of Business in 2011 I have had the opportunity to get to know so many bright, ambitious students over the years,” Ryan Beedie said in a news release. “I am always so impressed with their accomplishments, and I want to do as much as I can to help more young people have the chance to get a university education and build a bright future. These new awards are designed to recognize leadership potential in students and will hopefully inspire youth to get involved in their communities.”

Gries, a professor at SFU, won the prize for his outstanding contributions to entomology, according to a press release that also noted: “Dr. Gries has greatly expanded our knowledge of how insects communicate and how they perceive their environment. His findings have practical applications for improved management of bedbugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches and many other insect pests.”

SHUTTLECOCK PHENOM

Lin follows brother’s lead on court PoCo badminton star forging his own way on the court MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Paxton Lin doesn’t mind following in the footsteps of his older brother, Nestor.

In fact, that’s pretty much how he guides his life, and his results on the badminton court show he’s up for the challenge.

Paxton, 13, first picked up a badminton racquet after Nestor, 15, started playing, just as he’d followed his brother’s lead into figure skating then dropped it because, he said, “there were too many girls.”

Both Lins have been BC provincial badminton champions and both have been recognized by Badminton BC as the best junior male athletes in the province. They have both reached the senior elite team at the Shuttlesport Badminton Academy in Port Coquitlam where they train under performance director Al Mawani.

About the only honour Nestor has achieved that hasn’t been duplicated by Paxton is a place on the Coquitlam Sports Wall of Fame. At least not yet.

A recent victory by the younger Lin at the 2017 VLTBC Junior Open in Vancouver suggests it might be an idea for the engravers to get ready to chisel his name into the wall as well.

Paxton, who’s also a top student at Citadel middle school, said his game has evolved since he first started playing when he was six. Unsure of his ability, he was then a more defensive player, relying on his lightning reaction to the initiatives of his opponents.

But a change in the rules of the sport that potentially awards a point on every ex-

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Paxton Lin has matched his older brother, Nestor, service for service in their accomplishments on the badminton court. But recent top results suggest he’s ready to go his own way. change of the shuttlecock, rather than waiting for a player to retain service before they can score a point, forced him to be more aggressive.

“You can’t really afford to make a mistake,” Paxton said, adding that change in strategy has also boosted his confidence on the court.

“You have to look tough, or else your opponents will gain

confidence from your weakness.”

The results have followed, including bronze medals in the BC Junior Provincial U15 boy’s doubles and in the U15 boys’ doubles in the BC Junior Elite Series. He’s ranked eighth in the province in U15 singles.

Paxton said the more he plays, the better he gets.

“You have to stay focused,”

he said. “You have to manage your nerves.”

One way he accomplishes that, he said, is by imagining the cheers for his opponents are actually for him. And if he finds himself down in a match, he sets a goal to just accumulate as many points as possible.

Sometimes he rides that goal all the way to a comeback victory.

But those strategies don’t have much of an effect when he gets a chance to play his brother, Paxton said. “He knows me too well.”

That’s fine with him, though, Paxton said. “My brother is my inspiration. I like following his lead.”

NHL IN TOWN

It may be awhile before the Vancouver Canucks skate the Stanley Cup around the ice at Rogers Arena. But local hockey fans can get up close to the coveted chalice this weekend when the National Hockey League brings its Centennial Fan Arena to Coquitlam Centre as part of its centenary celebrations.

The Fan Arena is really a full-on NHL hockey experience packed into the mall’s parking lot, including a chance to see the Stanley Cup up close, visit a miniature version of the Hockey Hall of Fame, complete with interactive displays, packed into the back of a 53-foot museum truck, drive a virtual Zamboni and even play a little ball hockey on a pop-up rink.

The event will also feature appearances by various Canuck alumni.

Fans can also drop off used and unwanted hockey equipment like helmets, shoulder, elbow and shin pads, gloves, hockey pants and goalie gear that will be donated to community hockey programs.

The Fan Arena has been visiting NHL markets across North America since January.

The Coquitlam stop will be its only appearance in British Columbia. It will be open Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Stanley Cup will be on display both days from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

SFU Clan back on track The Simon Fraser University Clan takes its four-game winning streak to Lacey, Wash. on Saturday where they will face winless St. Martin’s University.

The Clan extended its run of victories last Saturday following a bit of a mid-season swoon when Coquitlam’s Matteo Polisi scored his eighth goal of the season in the 109th

minute to give SFU a dramatic 1-0 win over Western Washington University in Bellingham, Wash.

The victory lifted the 16th-ranked Clan into a tie with WWU atop the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

The Vikings played St. Martin’s last night (Thursday).

Polisi’s goal came off a re-

bound after WWU goalkeeper Tyler Visten made a diving save on a shot by Clan forward Connor Glennon.

SFU’’s win ended a ninegame unbeaten streak for Western Washington. It was only the second time the Vikings had been shutout all season. sports@tricitynews.com
