jkurucz@thenownews.com In just four short years, Rusty Johnson has triumphed over tri-tips, bested his briskets and perfected pulled pork.

Just don’t tell the Port Moody resident any of it came by way of happenstance.

“It’s not luck — luck is a bad term,” he said.

“It’s about good recipes and the right execution of those recipes.”

Johnson is quickly making a name for himself on the competitive barbecue circuit, and will

put both his skills and reputation on the line at a pair of high-profile cook offs at next weekend’s Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.

The 32-year-old, who competes under the moniker Rusty’s BBQ, will vie for $10,000 in prize money at the second annual Cowboy Cook-Off Competition, as well as Cloverdale’s first-ever Canadian Competitors Only Rib Fest.

And all of it comes just four years after buying his first grill.

“I come from a family that appreciates dinner,” he said.

Businesses upset over sign laws PORT MOODY WANTS BUSINESS OWNERS TO PAY A FEE TO USE SANDWICH BOARDS

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It’s been an age-old way to attract customers to a business.

The sandwich board is the staple of storefront business around North America and closer to home in Port Moody.

But some businesses in the St. Johns It’s very Street neighfrustrating. bourhood are speaking out –Julia Ivanyuk, about the City Business owner of Port Moody’s policy when it comes to compact forms of marketing.

Stephen Quigley runs the Boothill Junction boot store on Kyle Street and has been in town for 35 years. He said he’s been told by city bylaws he can’t put out his sandwich board on his property unless he pays the fee, something he has refused to do.

“It’s totally ridiculous,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. He said bylaw officers have also told him they’ll take his sign away, so he hasn’t put it out in months.

The small business owner said he understands if a sandwich board is blocking a sidewalk, being a nuisance, or doesn’t fit with the neighbourhood, but he doesn’t think his sign falls into those categories.

“You mean to tell me that in a little spot like this in the middle of nowhere, I can’t put a sandwich board sign out in the middle of my own property,” he said. “That doesn’t make sense. He used to have his sign out for years,

LISA KING/NOW

Stephen Quigley of Boothill Junction believes he’s lost customers over the sign law. and believes he’s lost a few customers because he doesn’t use it anymore.

And Quigley isn’t alone in questioning the city rules around sandwich boards.

A short walk away from the Boothill Junction, the owners of A Taste of Ukraine have had their own sign issues.

The family-run business used to have a sandwich board tall enough to peek over the cars and some tree branches out front to help customers find their location.

“The city made us remove it because it was apparently too ugly to be on the street,” said Julia Ivanyuk, one of the owners.

“It’s very frustrating.”

She insisted there wasn’t anything ugly about the sign, and her family tried to make it appealing.

Ivanyuk said the business has put signs in the window instead, but they haven’t worked as well as the outside sign.

She wants the city to see it not from a

beauty perspective, but from the perspective of a small business.

“We pay taxes, we’d like to bring something authentic to the community, and they’re really limiting and hurting our business,” Ivanyuk said, noting the business has learned to live without the sign for now.

The city bylaw allows businesses to put out one free standing sign-double sided 16square-foot sandwich board.

The sign also has to be within proximity of the business, but the rules were relaxed during a recent update of the bylaw.

The city charges $100 and also adds a charge for insurance for signs on city property. However, Mayor Mike Clay is standing behind the city’s approach to sandwich boards, noting enforcement is done on a per complaint basis.

He noted the city receives a lot of complaints about the boards, either being left out at night, blocking sidewalk access or being thrown into the street.

Clay also said the money the city charges is part of the cost recovery to have staff maintain the bylaw. He suggested allowing businesses to have whatever size and form of sign they want would create a “slippery slope.”

A couple years back the city reviewed the bylaw with consultation from both the businesses and residents.

“We tried to find the compromise that represented the needs of the businesses to promote and advertise their business,” Clay said, adding he hasn’t received a complaint about the bylaw in more than a year.

“Finding that balance of what works for everybody is what I believe we accomplished.”

His mother Marie said a family friend thought they had spotted her son on a bus, but after viewing video footage it was determined not to be Dominique.

“We’re still figuring he’s out in the wilderness,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW on Thursday.

His family had plans to search downtown Vancouver last weekend, but the plans were put on hold after the possible sighting.

Dominique disappeared after having an argument with his mom, but she said he wasn’t in a “bad state” when he left.

A week after he dis-

appeared, a search party in the Mission and Stave Lake areas on Sunday turned up no clues. Members of Coquitlam Search and Rescue were also out that weekend, combing areas along the Coquitlam River.

A search near the river did turn up some of Dominique’s belongings.

Marie said she still hopes her son will return soon, safe and sound.

“I have to think positive and not think about the what ifs … think about the end of

it,” she said.

Marie said Coquitlam Mounties have assured her Dominique’s case remains a top priority.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said investigators continue to perform all the tasks involved in a missing persons case, such as checking hospitals and transit.

He also noted police have followed up on possible sightings, but the teen’s whereabouts remain unknown.

“We think he’s OK unless we hear otherwise. We continue to look for him,” Chung said.

Dominique is described as a black male, standing sixfeet two-inches tall, weighing 180 pounds, with short black hair and a light complexion.

He was last seen wearing grey sweatpants.

Anyone with information regarding Dominique’s whereabouts is asked to contact Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2013-10935.

A major expansion at Port Moody’s biggest employer appears to be stalled on the tracks.

Last summer, Pacific Coast Terminals announced major plans to expand operations to handle potash and food-grade canola oil at its Port Moody terminal. But those plans have been delayed.

Ken Catton, PCT’s vice-president and general manager, said the company hopes to ink a deal for the canola by the end of May, with expansion complete to handle the product by mid-2014.

In terms of the potash, he noted the company that owns the mine that produces the product has delayed the opening by about year.

Now PCT hopes to have a deal in place for the potash by the end of this year with the expansion and product running through the terminal by late 2016.

The company hoped to have deals in place for both prod-

ucts before the end of 2012 and receive the first shipments of canola oil by the end of 2013 and potash by late 2014.

Catton said both projects remain critical opportunities for the company.

“It’s something that we need to add to our business to keep that going,” he told the TriCities NOW. “Some of the sulphur volumes are declining, that’s still happening. We’re still not handling as much sulphur as we did in the past.”

Though the two expansion projects are on standby, the general plans announced last summer remain intact.

PCT is potentially looking at handling 2.8 million tons of potash and another 750,000 tons of canola oil annually.

The terminal currently handles shipments of sulphur and ethylene glycol. The company estimated spending $125 million to expand its current operation to handle the potash and another $35 million to handle the canola.

That expansion would include the construction of a new rail-car dumper and conveying system to handle the potash, three additional storage tanks for the canola oil and a new pipeline from the tanks to the docks.

Its expected the expansion will create about 90 full-time positions once completed.

PCT is also planning to move ahead with public consultation as part of the application process handled by the federal government.

“We’ll be engaging the community on this project for sure,” Catton said, noting PCT is considering having an open house on the expansion at the same time the company has its

community open house at the end of June.

As for the general health of operations at PCT, Catton reiterated that the sulphur side hasn’t been great, but overall business has been steady.

He added the two expansion projects have consumed a lot of the company’s energy as of late.

School district OKs forensic budget audit Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com For weeks, the unions representing School District 43 employees have been calling for a forensic audit of the books to find out just how the district ended up in the hole.

On Tuesday, the school board voted in favour of approving a forensic audit.

However, exactly what the audit will look like, who will be leading the exercise and what the expected outcome will be still needs to be determined.

Trustee Keith Watkins brought the motion forward, expressing his concern that if the board didn’t approve the forensic audit, it wouldn’t happen at all.

“In my mind a forensic audit is what we need,” he said, adding his understanding of a forensic audit doesn’t suggest wrongdoing, but rather an in-depth study of what took place over the last couple of years.

Earlier this year, it was revealed the district was facing an $8-million budget deficit for the 2012-13 school year, after a surplus had been expected.

In April, it was revealed the district was facing an even greater shortfall for 2013-14 to the tune of $12.1 million.

School District 43 Supt.

Tom Grant explained he had a brief conversation with accounting giant KPMG about the different types of audits available.

He said it was his understanding the forensic audit involves looking back at the process in order to make changes in the future.

Grant also noted the exercise would include a systems audit that would help set up a new process for future budgets.

The audit could cost as much as $100,000 to complete.

KPMG has been asked to present at the next school board meeting on June 4.

There was discussion to defer the vote to the next meeting to get more information, but ultimately the board agreed to the audit.

Board chair Melissa Hyndes noted had the motion been defeated, it couldn’t be

brought back for future discussion. She said she hopes the audit will help the district learn from the past, suggesting there is currently a lack of confidence and trust in the district.

Hyndes also argued the audit is money well spent because it paves the way forward for the district budgeting process in the future.

“Everyone needs to know exactly what the scope of the audit is and the different types of audits that are available, then decide what’s the best one we want,” she said.

Trustee Brian Robinson also echoed concerns about trust with the district, especially with partner groups like CUPE and the teachers’ association.

Liberals, NDP argue over byelection Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com With just days before voters head to the polls, the Port Moody-Coquitlam NDP candidate is accusing the party of his main rival of misdeeds in the run up to a byelection last year — while the BC Liberals deny any wrongdoing.

The NDP said it has documents that allegedly show senior advisors to the premier were meeting on government time and at taxpayers’ expense to run the Port Moody-Coquitlam byelection campaign.

NDPcandidateJoeTrasolini won the byelection in April 2012 over Liberal challenger Dennis Marsden.

In a press release Thursday, the NDP suggest the documents show the campaign was run from the premier’s office under the name Port Moody Swing Riding Team, by four of her staff: Kim Haakstad, Dave Ritchie, Dimitri Pantazopolous and Trevor Halford.

According to the documents, which date back to fall 2011, team meetings took place during business hours at the legislature in Victoria.

Trasolini called the revelations “completely inappropriate” and “disappointing.”

“This is another example of blatant use of taxpayers’ dollars for partisan political means,” he said.

Trustee Judy Shirra was the lone politician to vote against the audit.

She said she supports the idea of a forensic audit, but

couldn’t support an “openended motion” with no price tag.

“I think it’s very irresponsible of us to just have an open-ended cheque here,” Shirra said.

W

hen most of us think of democracy, we think of rights, like the right to legal counsel and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. We also think of freedoms, like freedom of expression, freedom of religion and freedom of the press.

But democracy is really a contract between those in power and those they govern. Those in power promise to follow the rule of law (yes, there are some who cheat, lie and steal, but they’re the minority), while those they govern are tasked with choosing leaders who will be accountable, work hard and reflect their values.

Democracy is hardly an ideal system. As Winston Churchill said, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Another truism came from Thomas Jefferson, who said “The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

They’re both right.

Democracy is far from ideal, but it’s the best system people anywhere in the world have come up with for running a society. However, if large numbers of people decide to opt out of their role in that society by not bothering to vote, democracy starts breaking down.

It’s ironic that people in countries like Zimbabwe, who can only dream of the standard of living we enjoy here, line up for hours to vote, while many of us complain we don’t have the time, when the truth is we’re wasting it on frivolous activities like updating our Facebook status.

Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, as B.C. residents elect a new provincial government. If you’re not registered to vote, you can sign up at the poll.

asn’t it September not that long ago — and June, as well as all the things that come with it, was something that didn’t seem to be a part of reality?

Apparently not. Now, June is less than a month away and I’m still doubting that this is real. Why? I’m graduating, turning 18 and, of course, it’s almost summer.

For the last 13 years, going to school seven hours a day, five days a week, 10 months a year has become the norm for me. Sit here, read this, answer these questions by tomorrow … Every day of my life I’ve been told exactly what to do and what is expected of me.

But what am I supposed to do now? I don’t know how to get a good mark on an essay in university, especially since the marks are scaled. I could write a fantastic essay, get a mark that would normally be in the A range, but be given a failing grade because others in the class had done so much better.

Not only that, but I might have classes a mere three days a week! Just thinking about all the extra time I could have is mind boggling.

Maybe I’d finally have time to watch TV again, or read one of the long classic books that have been sitting on my reading list for a few years. Or more realistically, I’ll get another job. Teaching kids how to skate is a cool experience, but the limited hours are one of the few drawbacks.

Yeah, millions of people have already turned 18, most likely even more, but that doesn’t take away the excitement of this. However, I also see a whole new set of responsibilities that comes with it.

My birthday is a little too late to make

MY GENERATION

Courtenay Huffman the cutoff date, but I know a lot of my friends are voting this spring.

I can’t grasp the fact that we are finally getting a say in what happens in our province. The idea is so exciting, but at the same time I have to ask myself, are we ready for this responsibility? We have barely been exposed to Canadian politics; the last time I looked at the whole picture was a year ago in social studies. Back then it seemed as if everyone wanted to do the same things, just putting it in different words or doing it a different way. How big an impact would our decision make?

That’s the worst part: not knowing — sheltered all our lives from big decisions, and suddenly being told to make

those choices that will affect not only us, but everyone else as well.

Maybe, because of us young people, we’ll end up making a right choice, and change something for the better. But at the same time, we could seriously mess things up.

After all, teenagers are known for messing up and making poor decisions; even I’ll admit that.

It’s sad that I lack confidence in the ability of people my age to make these decisions.

In every other province, we would be legally allowed to drink. Maybe that plays a role in their thinking, maybe it doesn’t. All I know is that some people my age drink way too often. A quick look through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram will quickly confirm this.

Am I ready to trust these people to make decisions? Will we end up changing things for the better, or mess things up?

Only time will tell.

LETTERS CONCERNS OVER PORT MOODY’S OCP

Port Moody is proposing huge increases in density in a new official community plan (OCP).

These changes were not discussed before the last council election.

Residents have been blind sided by the size and the short deadline for public response.

The mill site next to the heavily used and maxed-out Rocky Point Park is now going to be allowed to have 28-storey buildings. The plan does not seem to consider park land, traffic congestion, salmon streams, wildlife corridors.

Although the plan is not fixed, it will set the tone for development. The Imperial Oil lands on Ioco Road are now also open for development.

There needs to be more discussion about the overall plan.

The 2003 Parks and Recreation Master Plan and council’s previous environmental plans need to be considered. Dense development in Ioco and the Rocky Point area will change Port Moody’s character completely. Many citizens moved to Port Moody to escape high rises and congestion.

Citizens have until today

(Friday, May 10) to contact the mayor and council.

Nancy Dilay Port Moody ••• Whose OCP is this? I doubt that the citizens of Port Moody are demanding this plan. I am very disappointed with Mayor Mike Clay and the council for bringing this forward.

A couple of years or so ago I attended a packed town hall meeting at which the OCP was discussed. Although we accepted that increased population density was inevitable, the majority of the speakers and the group did not want an OCP that included 30-storey highrises! The 20-storey buildings are more than high enough. Looking at the inlet and the forests soothes the spirit and pleases the eye. Looking at highrises does neither.

The Ioco land development also is going to increase population density. This double population increase will increase traffic congestion and intensify demands for recreational facilities and space, for schools and for city services.

I’d accept low- to mid-rise buildings with included green space close to the inlet and 20-storey buildings near the Evergreen Line stations. Also, I’d like to have a

forested trail around the inlet from Pleasantside Beach to Barnet Beach. I’ve lived here, enjoying Port Moody’s beauty, for 38 years.

This OCP will despoil much of my enjoyment.

E. I. Odynsky Port Moody ••• My understanding was that the high-density development in the Newport area of Port Moody over the last several years was to justify getting Skytrain. I came to see that this made sense. But now that the Evergreen Line is coming, we in Coronation Park are, in effect, being told to get out of the way.

This is unfair. We in Coronation Park have done our share in terms of accommodating high density, at least for the time being. Perhaps in 100 years, everyone will be living in 100-storey towers, but that time is not now and we need to focus on what can work now.

Destroying Coronation Park is not in keeping with the city’s professed goals of diversity and livability.

It is disingenuous to suggest that tearing down our homes will contribute to diversity — genuine diversity cannot be manufactured.

As to livability, decades-old

trees are a huge asset. An aerial photo of Port Moody shows that our area is a big part of the lungs of the city.

There are also some, um, lovely ironies in the draft OCP: 1. “Proposals will be evaluated based on their compatibility with the surrounding area.” How are 30-storey towers compatible with immediately adjacent single-family homes? We can deal with the ones already all around us, but not with new ones in our midst.

2. There will be “[p]lacement of buildings such that view corridors are generally maintained and shadowing is minimized.” Whose view corridors are we discussing?

The sun already sets here earlier.

3. The plan is to provide “attractive, green streetscapes that encourage pedestrian activity and provide for a comfortable pedestrian scale.” As scores of daily walkers and runners can attest, that’s what we already have.

Please celebrate Coronation Park instead of destroying it.

Those of us who live here have paid our dues vis-à-vis densification, and it’s a jewel for all of Port Moody to treasure. Come by for a walk sometime.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS May 5-11, 2013

Advertising Feature

Five things to do now for Emergency Preparedness Week Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) began 18 years ago as a way to raise awareness across the country about the importance of being prepared for an emergency. This year, EP Week takes place from May 5-11.

EP Week is a national campaign coordinated by Public Safety Canada.

All levels of government participate in EP Week, as do first responders (police officers, firefighters, paramedics, etc.), industry, and non-governmental organizations.

Being prepared means being ready to cope for at least the first 72 hours of an emergency while those in urgent need

are helped first. It can also make real situations less stressful for you and your family.

There are lots of quick and easy things you can do to prepare your family. Here are five things you can do right now: Know the risks: Learn about local hazards and plan for those that are more likely to occur. Does your area experience flooding? Forest fires? Earthquakes?

Make a family emergency plan: Since your family may not be together when an emergency happens, a plan will help you and your family know what to do and how to reach each other in an emergency.

Visit www.getprepared.gc.ca to watch the

“Making a Family Emergency Plan” video.

Get an emergency kit: Find out exactly what goes in a kit by Public Safety Canada’s short video, “Preparing a Family Emergency Kit in Plain English,” then share the link with friends or family.

Talk to your kids: Share the activity booklet made especially for children to help them understand emergencies and what they can do to prepare.

Spread the word: Share the EP Week Toolkit with your family, friends, workplace, or school. The toolkit has a lot of different tips and ideas to make EP Week a great event.

Do your part. Take time this Emergency

Preparedness Week to get the whole family involved and have fun getting prepared. Visit City of Coquitlam, Emergency Preparedness web site at the following URL: http://www.coquitlam. ca/public-safety/emergency-preparedness/ overview.aspx And one final way to stay in touch year-round: Become part of the growing number of Canadians who want to share experiences and learn more about how to prepare for emergencies by following Public Safety Canada on Twitter @Get_Prepared Information adapted from Public Safety Canada Website

xactly what is in your personal medical record — the paper file in your family doctor’s office or the electronic record in the clinic’s computer? What key information should you know by heart or at least have at your own fingertips?

With every medical visit, your doctor will create an entry either written in a paper chart or typed into an electronic record. In both cases, an entry must be dated and usually follows the standard SOAP format.

S stands for subjective: what you describe to the doctor. This includes the key details of the history of your symptoms, such as the type of pain you have been experiencing — its location, quality, intensity and duration, what makes it better and what makes it worse.

O stands for objective: the results of previous investigations and the findings on the physical examination. This includes what the doctor sees or measures, hears with the stethoscope and feels on palpation.

A stands for assessment: the diagnosis or multiple possible diagnoses we want to confirm or rule out.

P stands for plan: the investigations or treatment

HEALTH WISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong offered or recommended.

Doctors are required to write these clinical notes in such a way that it is clear what was found on examination, what the doctor was thinking and what was discussed with the patient.

They should be written in such a way that another physician would be able to follow the doctor’s logic and know what the next steps would be.

Before I step into an examination room, I review the previous visit and any reports or test results that have come in since then.

After each visit ends, I spend a few minutes completing the chart notes.

If there is time, I’ll complete the forms or write the letters required for more extensive investigations or referrals to specialists, but usually I’ll complete these at the end of the workday.

Also within your medical record are the results of investigations, including x-rays, scans and lab tests; admission, operative

and discharge reports from hospitals; and the consultation letters from specialists.

These are filed in specific sections in chronological order in both paper and electronic charts.

In every paper chart (usually the inside cover) and in every electronic record should be a summary of the key information from a patient’s medical history.

This is the information you should know by heart in case you have to see another doctor in a different clinic or ER: drug allergies, current medications (their doses and directions), significant past illnesses and hospitalizations, current and chronic medical conditions (such as high blood pressure or diabetes), previous operations, significant medical procedures (including their dates) and your family history.

If you don’t have all this information, ask the staff at your family doctor’s office to help you fill in the blanks.

However, be patient with them. Medical office assistants are the backbone of the clinic, working hard to support both patients and physicians, making appointments, organizing tests, arranging referrals, filing results and reports, and ensuring your records are secure.

maintenance-free

A

few weeks ago, a harassed gardener asked me whether there are any maintenance-free plants. Apparently “weeds” was not the answer she was seeking.

Anyone who wants a nonweed garden will be faced with some maintenance at some stage. But some plants are certainly less needy than others — and choosing those can easily reduce maintenance.

For instance, gardeners who focus on native plants as habitat and a food supply for wildlife can enjoy a much more relaxed type of garden.

Many native plants such as salmon berries, thimbleberries, Indian plum and salal have beautiful flowers and nutritious berries. But they’re only maintenance-free for a while. Later, because they’re so well-adapted to our soil and climate, they cover more and more space as roots expand and seeds find good spots to sprout.

At some point the gardener must pick up a spade and establish firm boundaries for paths, driveway and other valued areas. This can

BRANCHING OUT Anne Marrison

become a yearly task.

Native ferns are much closer to being truly maintenance-free. One of the easiest is the native sword fern. It’s an evergreen that does best in a moist, shady situation and the old fronds form a thick, mulching carpet that surrounds the plant and suppresses weeds.

Ground covers are generally thought to be maintenance-free, but in the early stages diligent weeding is essential. It’s not difficult to end up with weeds that a ground cover will actually hide until they’re difficult to uproot.

As well, all ground-covers are invasive to some degree.

The more invasive they are, the more successfully they cover ground. That’s why ground covers such as Vinca minor and Vinca major,

Ajuga species, Cerastium tomentosum (summer snow) and Lamium galeobdolon (yellow archangel) can turn into unstoppable monsters in mild climates.

Some sprawling shrubby ground covers such as Cotoneaster dammeri and junipers can grow into a dense cover where weeds won’t germinate.

In this West Coast climate, rhododendrons demand less attention than most other plants. But no matter how small a rhododendron seems in the garden centre, many are destined to become big shrubs and some become trees. It’s the smaller rhododendrons that fit best into city-lot size gardens.

There are also some ornamental trees that get by with little or no pruning or care once they’re safely planted.

One is Sorbus aucuparia (mountain ash), which has beautiful red or orange (rarely yellow) berries that are a feast for birds in the fall.

Crataegus species can also be left to grow in their own way. These various kinds of hawthorn produce flowers that are usually white or pink (sometimes double).

to meet him on the roof of the building but never shows up, leaving Killian wondering where else he could find funding.

Stark did not recognize the demons he had just created.

The film is more about Tony than Iron Man. He juggles a relationship and superhero responsibilities, all the while dealing with powerful anxiety attacks.

If Iron Man 3 goes down in history for being influential in any way it will certainly be because of its meticulously constructed action sequences. The mise en scène is electrifying, making what could have been a dull gun fight or an uninteresting free fall sequence utterly engrossing. The camera is frequently placed in the epicentre of the action, but unlike with most action films the movements remain comprehensible and easy to follow.

For a Marvel super-hero flick, Iron Man 3 is surprisingly thoughtful and ambitious. Not only does the movie feature the typical metal crunching, building burning and snarky Tony Stark one-liners, but it also has a more sombre and thoughtful tone about it.

Iron Man 3 boasts not being about its action scenes, but instead about Tony, a flawed human being who deals with his created demons of the past that have returned to haunt him. This is the best cinematic achievement in the Marvel Avengers universe. When I left the theatre, I cogitated as to what demons I have created. What are the ramifications of what I am doing? There is no one to blame. We create our own demons.

T-BIRDS NET GENTILE The best player in B.C. girls volleyball is joining Canada’s most successful program.

Port Moody’s Alessandra Gentile, who in December was named the B.C. high school girls’ volleyball Player of the Year by The Province, will suit up for the six-time defending national champion UBC Thunderbirds next season.

“I am very fortunate to have such a strong volleyball program and university in my own backyard,” Gentile said in a press release. “I am really looking forward to working with [head coach Doug Reimer] and the team.”

The 5-foot-10 senior was unanimously selected by the head coaches of B.C.’s CIS volleyball programs as the top graduating player in the province.

She starred for the Heritage Woods Secondary Kodiaks, leading the squad to a silver medal at the 2012 ‘AAA’ provincials.

FAST ON THEIR FEET

In her first track meet of the year, Coquitlam’s Jasmine Lew blasted past the B.C. Athletics’ 12.96-second standard to claim gold in the girls’ 100-metre dash.

Her time of 12.94 came in the preliminary heat, and the 13-year-old promptly bettered it with a 12.84 in the final at the eighth annual Norwester’s track meet in Burnaby.

It was part of a huge day for the teen, who also racked up gold in 200m and long jump, a silver in the 300m, and teamed up with three other speedsters — including PoCo’s Jade Krieser — to win the 4x100 relay.

Krieser also won the 800m race with a personal best of 2:30.26, and finished second in the high jump.

The girls’ 4 x 100m team is coached by former Canadian Olympian Robert Esmie and Raquel Chin of AirBlastOff.

BIG RALLY FOR NITRO The Port Moody u-18 girls Nitro have plans for the summer, thanks to a comefrom-behind 2-1 victory over Vancouver.

The win catapults the club into the Provincial Cup soccer tournament in July 4 to 7 in North Vancouver.

Connecting for both goals was Ally Mandley, off nice setups from Julia Basa and Alecia Tingling. Putting in strong performances were Melanie Mayede and Chelsea Reed.

PRIME AIR TIME: Riverside Rapids Drew Ragiste takes the big leap during the Coquitlam/Delta track and field championships last week at Coquitlam Town Centre. High schools from the region competed with an eye on earning a berth to next month’s provincials. For more photos, go to www.thenownews.com.

sports@thenownews.com He didn’t know what to expect, but knew enough to embrace the steep learning curve.

Coquitlam’s Tyler Garrison enters the final weekend of his first pro lacrosse season both nervous and eager as his Washington Stealth prepare for the biggest game of the year.

They take on defending National Lacrosse League champion Rochester Knighthawks Saturday, 4 p.m. in Langley for the NLL championship title.

“It’s been pretty amazing and just getting drafted first off was crazy,” said Garrison, 21. “I’m getting to play with guys I’ve looked up to for a long time.”

As one of the few junior-aged players in the nineteam pro league, Garrison is learning the ropes while running against players in their mid-20s and 30s. A captain with his B.C. junior Adanacs’ team, the transition player has focused on absorbing as many lessons as possible in a quick season.

“I didn’t know what to expect and what my role would be,” he said. “The team was coming off a 412 year but everything came together... We’ve had a couple of bumps and peaks and valleys, but at the end of the day we’ve got the job done and are now one win away from what everyone is playing for.”

Playing against the best lacrosse players in the world had the expected effect on the BCIT student.

“It’s surreal — [John Grant Junior] was one of the first big ones for me,” said Garrison. “I remember watching him when he was with the [Coquitlam senior] Adanacs. [John] Tavares and Shawn Williams — some of these stars I’ve looked up to for so many years.”

But none has impressed him as much as those inside his own locker room. From the moment the raw rookie entered training camp, every member of the Stealth made him feel welcomed.

“It’s calming, is what it is,” he said of the influence the veterans in the lineup — including TriCities natives Matt Beers, Athan Iannucci, Tyler Richards and Justin Salt — have had. “Every time I get into that dressing room I’m so worked up and anxious for the games to begin. There’s excitement and anticipation but once inside, everyone is focused and ready to go. It’s humbling in a way.”

Garrison, who has contributed six goals and 11 assists over 18 Stealth games, is eager to see how his new experience as a pro translates into the junior league, where he’s part of a talented core led by a number of college-level players.

“I think I’ll have a lot to bring to the table, experience-wise,” he noted. “The insight I’ve gotten from some veterans is just incredible... I think I’ll bring a smarter game to the floor.”

Sunday, June 9th 10:00am

In a replay of last year’s Provincial Cup final, the Coquitlam Metro-Ford under18 metro soccer girls Threat topped the Port Moody Storm 3-0 to win the Coastal title.

Coquitlam grabbed the lead in the first half on a goal by Holly Joe, off a nice pass from Paige Benning.

Early in the second half Benning made it 2-0. League MVP Natalia Kaczmarek netted the third marker to cap the offence. Collecting her third shutout was Veronica Aguiar, while Triana Syskakis turned in a standout effort.

Now Coquitlam prepares for its third straight Provincial Cup appearance in July.

In the semifinal, Joe registered a hat trick in a a convincing 3-0 win over DSG. • Facing a deficit and a shortage proved no problem for the Coquitlam Metro-Ford u-16 girls Black Ice, as they bested Chilliwack 3-2 in overtime to pick up a berth to the Coastal Cup final.

Missing their starting goalie and a defender, the Ice found themselves trailing 2-0 in the first half. Tallies by Asia Mann and Bailey Blackburn, in the final minute off a nice cross from Paige McLellan, pulled the two teams even. In extra time, McLellan converted a penalty kick for the win.
