LEAH PELLS WANTS TO TEACH KIDS ABOUT ADDICTION Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Leah Pells has never been shy about sharing details of her past and the childhood she experienced. The former Olympian and Coquitlam resident penned a book last year that included details about her mom’s struggle and ultimate death from alcoholism and addiction. Pells, a teacher in the Coquitlam Alternate Basic Education (CABE) program, has now been given the go-ahead to take her desire to educate and inform on the topic directly to her students. School District 43 has approved the elective course Understanding Addictions 12 at CABE, making it the first such course in B.C. to deal specifically with the theme of addiction. The course, which was developed by Pells, has been approved for the 201314 school year at CABE only. Pells explained her motivation behind developing the course was to create more compassion for those living with and those who know someone, battling addiction, as well as to increase knowledge and education around the issue. “To me [addiction is] part of this world,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW. “We have people that are struggling and I think it’s important to be open with our students and to talk about these things. I thought it would be very relevant to do in the schools.” The core curriculum will focus on all aspects of the topic, like the roots of addiction, how to deal with addiction, models of addiction and the types of recovery available. Pells said she also wants to foster a supportive community within the class. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Loss of trees upsets residents

PORT MOODY APARTMENT BUILDINGS LOSE BARRIER SEPARATING THEM FROM TRACKS

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com As work feverishly continues around the Tri-Cities to build the Evergreen Line, some Port Moody residents are seeing red over the lack of greenery around parts of the city where the line will run. Diane Jolly has lived in her third-floor apartment at the corner of Grant and Clarke streets for seven years. She bought her pad fully aware of the train tracks just a stone’s throw away from her home. The trains were never a problem because of the greenery and trees that served as a buffer from the noise, but that all changed last week. Jolly was at home sick on the Wednesday and lied down for a nap. But her sleep was interrupted by the sounds of crashing trees. Jolly said she woke up to the sight of bulldozers taking down the trees in front of her building along the tracks. “I cried. I could not believe it,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW, noting there were probably a dozen trees of all sizes taken down. “Why would they remove those trees?” Jolly said she received a letter in March from the Evergreen Line group notifying her that crews would be removing trees and bushes from the area. The Port Moody resident said she’s in favour of development and the line, but suggested the Evergreen Line crews needlessly cut down the trees. “We might as well be in the middle of the trains,” Jolly said. It’s a similar situation a few blocks down at

Evergreen Line workers cut down trees on the other side of this fence, which used to provide visual and sound buffers from WestCoast Express trains for nearby residents. the Sonrisa apartments on St. Johns Street. Janice Irving has also lived in her apartment for seven years. She too received a notice from the Evergreen Line group about the removal of trees, but was surprised how much of the greenery was taken out when bulldozers came through in April. Though Irving’s unit looks out over a courtyard rather than the railroad tracks where the trees were removed, Irving said she feels bad for her fellow neighbours, who’ve lost their

noise buffer. Irving said she’s not opposed to the Evergreen Line, but questioned the decision to cut down all the trees. “I think they [Evergreen Line] went a little too far with it,” she said, noting she’s spoken to residents not only in the Sonrisa complex, but also across the tracks in Klahanie, who are unhappy with the removal of the trees. “To my view, they really decimated the area.” In response, Ministry of Transportation officials noted that, as with any large con-

struction project, trees along the Evergreen Line route alignment need to be removed. In an e-mail to the Tri-Cities NOW, the ministry said it works closely with all municipalities on the replacement of trees, pointing out all trees removed along the line route will be included in an environmental inventory, and trees will be replaced in accordance with the Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC). Under the terms of the EAC, the Evergreen Line would replace landscape and street trees using a one-to-one ratio and restore trees removed from environmental areas next to rivers, streams and in wetlands. However, trees removed from railway lands will not be replaced. Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac said he’s fielded several inquiries from concerned residents, and understands their shock at the loss of the trees. He suggested residents haven’t been given the heads-up on the landscape changes the large infrastructure project would bring and is calling for greater communication between the city, the line and residents. Glumac noted council will be meeting with the Evergreen Line team soon, and he intends to get more information regarding tree removal. He’s also calling on the Evergreen Line group to replant new trees in the area where the SkyTrain passes through. “It would be nice to have some kind of assurance that things will be returned to a nice landscaped state over a period of time,” Glumac said. However, the councillor said he’s not sure how much jurisdiction the city would have, other than to make a request.

to ensure compliance with the bylaw has been met. Though fines are a possibility, McDonald said the main goal is compliance. She also noted the city has no intention of opening up a debate about changing the bylaw to allow backyard chickens. In this case, bylaw officers were called out because the Jeremy DEUTSCH chickens had attracted rats. jdeutsch@thenownews.com Though rats can be found almost anywhere to some degree, While Coquitlam city officials in charge of dealing with Drake Stephens, Coquitlam’s urban wildlife coordinator, said the wild animals that populate the area have been primarily the majority of people who have had a problem with the busy in recent weeks dealing with bears and cougars, smaller rodents are usually unaware they’ve created the problem themselves. creatures have also been keeping them on their He said problems usually stem from bird toes. feeders, a homeowner feeding other animals Last week, bylaw officials were called out like squirrels, or one who is not composting to a home near Eagle Ridge Hospital and the properly.

“I’m going to try and create a real openness,” she said, noting nearly every student at CABE expressed interest in the class. Pells began working on ideas for the course about a year ago, and put the details together every chance she got. The size of the first class, which is open to grade 11 and 12 students as an elective, will likely be 20 students. Pells admits the first run of the class will be a learning curve for her and she expects to rely heavily on student feedback to guide the course in future years. But she noted the course has the support of the school and the district’s administration. Pells grew up in an alcoholic family, but said as a young person at the time, there wasn’t a lot of information or understanding around addiction. It was an issue that just wasn’t discussed. “I had no idea what to do and how to help myself,” she said. Though Pells, who is in the process of

obtaining her master’s degree in counselling, suggested understanding around addictions is much better for kids now then when she was young, she still wants to do more. “People realize we need a different approach,” she said, adding the so-called “war on drugs” is the wrong approach. She hopes eventually the course will spread across the district and the province. But in a strange twist, the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame member may not actually be in front of the chalkboard when the class starts in the fall. Pells is one of 142 district staff members being cut to deal with a $12.1-million operating budget. She hopes to be rehired in time for the new school year, but noted the course is pretty much ready to be taught by any teacher with an interest in the topic. “I don’t mind if anybody teaches this course,” Pells said. However, a self-admitted die-hard optimist, the Olympian is confident she’ll get the opportunity to teach her class at some point.

Danielle Lyons, 3, has a rare genetic disease called neurofibromatosis.

Addiction course OK’d CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Huge Moving Sale!

Neurofibromatosis was not just a word, but also a disease Andréa Lyons and her young daughter Danielle (or Dani) were completely unaware of. That all changed six weeks ago when the three-and-half year old was diagnosed with the rare genetic disease. Now the family is doing all it can to raise awareness and money for the condition that leaves Dani with an uncertain future. Specifically, the young girl was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 or NF1. Though the disease can manifest differently in each person, Dani has tumours on her nerve endings that can cause even just someone brushing up against her to be a painful experience. “Every day is something new for her,” Andréa told the Tri-Cities NOW. “How do you hold your daughter? How does she go through life? It’s extreme.” There is no cure for NF1, which affects about one in every 3,000 to 4,000 births. Andréa believes her daughter was affected by a spontaneous mutation of the NF1 gene, noting Dani’s twin sister and older brother don’t have the disease. Dani will have to have regular baseline MRIs to see how the disease is progressing, and she’s going in for her first surgery in a couple of weeks. “It’s a lot for a little three-and-half year-old girl,” Andréa said. But the family is fighting the disease the best way they can — by raising money to help find a cure. And the effort got a big boost from a major grocery store chain. Tomorrow (Saturday, June 8), Thrifty Foods in Port Moody will host a fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with all the proceeds going to the BC Neurofibromatosis Foundation on behalf of Dani. Thrifty Foods is providing food like hot dogs and hamburgers and is challenging other stores in the chain to raise money for the same cause. Andréa, who comes from a small town near Victoria, said she was surprised the grocery

Robinson the winner after judicial recount

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com It took a few extra weeks, but residents in CoquitlamMaillardville finally have an MLA. Following a judicial recount Tuesday, Coquitlam city councillor and NDP candidate Selina Robinson held the lead over Liberal Steve Kim she had amassed after absentee votes and mailin ballots were tabulated on May 27 by Elections BC. “It’s a rollercoaster,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW, a day after learning she would be joining her NDP colleagues in Victoria for the next four years. “I do think the residents of Coquitlam-Maillardville made the right choice.” She added the hard work by her and her team during the campaign paid off, given the small margin of victory. Robinson said she always felt Coquitlam-Maillardville was a swing riding and the results show just how tight the riding turned out to be. “You have to earn every vote,” she said. The vote tally on election night saw Kim with 9,044

Selina Robinson votes, compared to the 8,939 votes for Robinson, a difference of 105 votes. But the results swung the other way after Elections BC added absentee and mailin ballots, putting the NDP candidate up by 35 votes. When it was all said and done, Robinson won the riding by 41 votes. Kim called the entire ordeal an “interesting process” but added he was happy with the experience, despite falling short of winning. He suggested the results are proof every vote counts. “If it can be a case that can be used for the future for people to get out there to vote, then the job was done,”

Kim said. He also hinted that he might not be done with politics and would consider another run at provincial politics in the future. While the previous two votes in the riding weren’t decided by less than 100 ballots, they were close nonetheless. The 2009 race saw thenincumbent Diane Thorne edge out Liberal contender Dennis Marsden by 668 votes. In 2005, Thorne narrowly defeated now-Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart by 531 votes. As for Robinson, she said she has to catch up and get ready to meet her caucus, noting she’s about three weeks behind the rest of her colleagues. The new MLA also said she still has to determine what she’ll do with her council seat. Outgoing Coquitlam Coun. Linda Reimer has asked her council colleagues to approve her request for an unpaid leave of absence as a way to avoid having the city pay for a byelection. A byelection could cost the city more than $200,000.

discussed without putting the district in legal trouble. Board chair Melissa Hyndes suggested the audit would help restore confidence in the district. “By going forward with the audits we now approved, we’ll see some changes come forward to make sure that the situation won’t happen again,” she said. Hyndes also added she expects the audit to bring forward improvements to the budget process to avoid a similar crisis in the future. In the meantime, the board approved the final adoption of the 2013-14 school year operating budget that clears the way for cutting 142 positions from the district to make up for the $12.1-million deficit. To balance the budget, some of the big cuts the district approved include chopping 22 teaching positions by increasing class sizes at all levels, cutting 17 teaching positions from international education, cutting another 12 learning support teachers, and reducing six positions from its “high incidence” staff. The proposed cuts also include dropping five principal and vice-principal positions and six administration positions.

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. The fallout from the revelation had local unions representing school district employees calling for a forensic audit to find out exactly how the district ended up in the hole. Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president Teresa Grandinetti said she was impressed by the KPMG presentation and believes the audit will find answers. “I think the two pieces [the forensic audit and process review] together are quite comprehensive,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW. However, Grandinetti did express concern parts of the report wouldn’t be made public. Though she said she understands that if wrongdoing by an individual is discovered, that name can’t be made public for legal reasons, she suggested any errors could be

Rental laws are outdated

drop in blood pressure. Decreased risk of heart attack and stroke. Reduced stress and depression. These are just some of the benefits study after study shows come from pet ownership. Most pet owners will tell you there’s nothing like coming home after a tough day to have a furry friend, in the form of a cat or a dog, greet you at the door. But if you’re not able to afford a home in the secondmost unaffordable real estate market in the English-speaking world (Vancouver) — or its nearby suburbs, like the Tri-Cities, you’ll probably have trouble finding a place to live where you can own a pet. That’s why we’re rooting for Vancouver Coun. Tim Stevenson, who wants Victoria to change the Residential Tenancy Act to allow for pets in rental properties. In Canada’s largest province, renters already have that right. In Ontario, according to that province’s Landlord and Tenant Board, a tenant can only be evicted for having a pet in their unit if the pet “is making too much noise, damaging the unit, or causing an allergic reaction, or the animal or species is considered to be inherently dangerous.” Those rules protect landlords from bad pet owners, and from legitimate concerns over allergies (a doctor’s note is required), but allow people who can’t afford home ownership, including seniors, the benefits a pet brings. Yes, there are bad pet owners, but not nearly as many as in decades past. Gone are the days, for example, when it was considered acceptable to chain a dog in a yard, or to allow a cat to remain unspayed and to give birth to kittens when shelters are already full of them. Not liking pets shouldn’t be enough of a reason to be able to refuse a tenant with them, just as not liking children is not a legitimate reason for a landlord to turn down a prospective tenant who is a parent, although it still happens. There’s another benefit to pet ownership: the one that comes to the pet. Imagine how many fewer animals would spend their lives in shelters — or be killed simply because the shelters are full — if B.C. updates its antiquated laws.

THE TRI-CITIES NOW | FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 2013

Is hands-free really any safer?

Question: Recently, the Coquitlam RCMP targeted individuals disobeying the ban-on-handheld-devices law. I noticed police ticketing people who were stopped at red lights. I have written to ICBC and they have stated that regardless of whether the phone is being held or handsfree, it is equally distracting. Then why does the law allow for people to drive while talking on their phones hands-free? Lawfully, someone can have a distracting conversation, while driving from Vancouver to Kamloops, driving at speeds of up to 110 km/h and maybe during that time pick up a bottle of water to have a sip. This is all legal, right? However, if someone is at a full stop at a red light and picks up their phone for 10 seconds, they receive a $167 fine. Something isn’t right here! People who are at a red light and looking at their phones aren’t the criminals here. I believe they are waiting for a safe opportunity to check their phone. They are really doing the safe thing here. Would you rather them not wait until they are at a complete stop? No one has ever caused an accident while at a full stop. Maybe those people who

COP TALK

Cpl. Jamie Chung got ticketed will check their phones while driving now, because they’re less likely to get caught? Additional questions: To have a hands-free call, one must use their phone to make the call or to receive the call; therefore, they are breaking the law unless they do these things while lawfully parked. Is this correct? Is it legal to adjust GPS settings while driving? Thank you. Bob Hare, Coquitlam Answer: Bob, you’ve asked some very good questions about British Columbia’s distracted driving legislation and how police approach the issue of distracted driving. And I can assure you, you are not the only one asking. I’ll do my best to answer all of them, but I’d like to start with a few facts

about distracted driving. • Distracted driving is the third-leading cause of fatal crashes in B.C. with an average of 94 deaths per year. • In the U.S., 18 per cent of injury crashes in 2010 were reported as “distraction affected.” • Texting while driving creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted. Bob, the fact is, distracted driving is always dangerous and can be deadly. In fact, research indicates drivers fail to process about half of the visual information in their driving environment when they are using electronic communication devices. That’s why the B.C. government enacted laws to specifically regulate the use of electronic and communication devices while driving. And that’s why my colleagues and I and our partners at ICBC spend so much time and effort targeting cellphone use. You point out that electronic devices aren’t the only driver distraction, and I couldn’t agree more. In my time in uniform I’ve seen drivers distracted by rambunctious kids, nervous pets, grooming, eating, drinking and

lively conversations with passengers, just to name a few. Every one of those factors can pull a driver’s attention from the road and every one of them puts other road users (like other drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and bicyclists) at risk, and there are regulations in place to cover them. For instance, a driver who caused a collision or near crash because they were distracted by something other than an electronic device could be charged under the Motor Vehicle Act for “drive without due care.” The courts have ruled driving is a privilege not a right and as such drivers are obliged to exercise due care while they are behind the wheel. You also point out that using hands-free electronic devices is no safer than using handheld devices. Again, I agree and a growing body of research proves that we are right. As for why the current legislation allows handsfree use … that, I can’t answer. Having attended and investigated too many crashes caused by distracted drivers, I personally feel the current laws don’t go far CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Starring: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson Running time: 119 minutes Directed by: Shawn Levy

ne of my uncontrollable pet peeves is my parent’s technological illiteracy. I am irate when my mother asks me to open an e-mail for her. And for some reason it’s never her fault; it’s always the “stupid computers.” Then there’s my dad, who accidentally clicks on the “don’t save” button and later wonders why his work isn’t saved. My parents’ point of view is: “Are you going to ever get

CINEPHILIA

Joshua Cabrita off that computer? It’s like your Bible or something.” I’m not going to lie; this is a major problem. We live in a time of change; the recent technological revolution has altered nearly every aspect of our lives. At the forefront of recent innovation is Google, a website that single-handedly places a seemingly infinite amount of information at our disposal. The ramifications are that we have created a zombie apocalypse — an age group inept at social interaction, appreciation of beauty or simply having fun.

We’d rather text someone than approach and converse with them. Pathetic! My generation seems well on our way to devolving into the fat humans floating around in the Buy-n-Large space vessel in Wall-E. This is the context for the comedy The Internship, a satire on the reciprocal relations, attitudes and actions between Generation X and the Millennials. Nick (Owen Wilson) and Billy (Vince Vaughn) are irresponsible middle-aged partiers. They lose their sales jobs because watches become obsolete due to cellphones becoming more popular. Unemployed, they search for a job that is au courant. Where better than an internship at Google? One problem is that they are dinosaurs who know little about computers.

Although The Internship practises many conventional delivery methods of comedy (repeating unfunny words over and over because if you say it more than once it’s supposed to make it funnier), and not every gag is funny, the film has an emotional and well-intentioned message at its core. The next time your mom tells you to get off the computer, maybe you should listen. And maybe the next time your dad asks you to save his Word document, you should do it. We all struggle with change. We should help each other along our journey to enlightenment, whether that is technological literacy or learning to have fun and a more positive outlook on life.

When life is stripped of cellphones, television and computerbased social networking, children can discover core values upon which successful lives are based. Camp provides a safe, secure, supportive and healthy environment. After participating in a full day of activity often out of doors and enjoying regular, nutritious meals, campers are ready for a good night’s sleep, whether in their camp cabin or tent or at home after a busy camp day. The CSCRP reported that “61% of campers showed improved attitudes towards physical activity by the end of their camp session.” Camp builds character and self-esteem.

enough. But my job is to enforce the law, not to write it. Where you and I disagree, Bob, is on the issue of cellphone use at red lights or stop signs being a “safer” option. What drivers should really be doing while stopped at a red light or stop sign is be scanning their surroundings for potential hazards so they are ready to react. On many occasions I have seen seniors needing extra time to clear a crosswalk, kids getting away from their parents and walking back out in traffic, cyclists weaving through cars and pets escaping their handlers. Drivers who are checking their phones would have missed these important visual bits of information around them. And we’ve all seen drivers engrossed by cellphones holding up traffic after it has turned green or the intersection is clear to proceed. For example, in a recent enforcement campaign one of my colleagues (in full uniform and wearing a high-visibility jacket) approached a driver at a red light who had his cellphone up to his ear … the driver was so focused on his conversation that he didn’t see a six-foot-tall Mountie in a bright yellow jacket standing right outside his window. Drivers using electronic devices at red lights or stop signs are just as distracted, and just as dangerous, as drivers who use them while their vehicle is in motion. The current legislation allows drivers to

talk on the phone hands-free providing they can initiate, accept or end the call with one touch. As for GPS, drivers can use a GPS that is programmed before they begin to drive and have to secure portable GPS units so that they are not obstructing the driver’s sight lines. The exception is drivers in the Graduated Licensing Program, who are prohibited from using any electronic device, even if it is hands-free. But the only safe way to use an electronic device in your vehicle is when you are out of the flow of traffic and completely stopped, like in a parking stall or pulled over to the shoulder of the road. If you are using a handheld device in any other circumstance in Anmore, Belcarra, Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam, you just may get the chance to meet me or one of my colleagues. We do target intersections, but that isn’t the only way we enforce distracted driving legislation, so anyone who thinks they are less likely to get caught while in motion than while stopped at a light or sign is actually very likely to get an unpleasant surprise in the form of a ticket and a fine. My colleagues and I are quite creative as we focus on our ultimate goal of making deaths and injuries related to distracted driving a thing of the past. Do you have a question about policing?

GUIDE

How to resolve a street parking dispute Dear Tom and Ray: My question regards parking etiquette. Recently, a neighbour has been parking his car in front of our house on a daily/nightly basis. From what I can gather, this neighbour lives in a “group house” of about four individuals. Their driveway fits only two cars, and there’s room for only one at the curb in front of the house. So, this neighbour has adopted my curb as his car’s new home. While I am aware that it’s technically a “public” street, this is, in my opinion, very rude — but more importantly, it’s inconvenient. I have a single-lane driveway for both my car and my wife’s car. I often travel to the airport and come home late at night, or have a need to travel to an early-morning meeting. So I have need to use my curb

CLICK & CLACK

Tom & Ray Magliozzi to park my car, on occasion. My car is a manual transmission, and my wife cannot drive a stick, so any movement of my car requires me to do it. As it stands, I often am forced to park down the street or around the corner from my own house. And I recently held a dinner party where my guests could not park in front of my house. We live in suburbia, not the city — everyone here has a driveway and plenty of room

to park. At a minimum, it’s unsightly and annoying, and very un-neighbourly. I’ve left polite notes to this neighbour letting him know these facts, and in a recent note, I mentioned “I don’t park my car in front of your house, so why do you park your car in front of mine?” Do you have any advice? — Duane RAY: Yeah: Start by apologizing. It’s not “technically” a public street, Duane. It IS a public street. So you have no right to claim it as private property. TOM: Can you ask your neighbour, as a favour, to leave that spot open for you when possible? Sure. And if you have a neighbourly relationship, and he has other reasonable options, he’ll

probably accommodate you. But you’ve started off the negotiations on the wrong foot by accusing him of behaving badly. RAY: When someone starts a conversation with you by saying, “Hey, jerk!” how open are you to helping the guy? TOM: Now, we know, you say you started off politely. But you may think you’re being more polite than you are. Saying “I don’t do this rude thing to you, yet you do it to me” puts the other guy on the defensive. And since he has the law on his side, you’ve given up your most potent weapon: an appeal to his good nature and benevolence. RAY: So here’s what I’d do: Start over. Start by getting to know your neigh-

Time for an oil change? When it comes to taking care of their vehicles, many motorists prefer to be overly cautious. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, there are times when being too cautious can unnecessarily cost you money. Motor oil, and when to change that oil, has long been a point of contention. Many drivers grew up being told that motor oil should be changed every 3,000 miles (5,000 km). However, that myth has been debunked for many of today’s vehicles, which should come with suggested intervals between oil changes. According to Edmunds.com, in 2010 the average interval for oil changes was 7,800 miles (12,500 km). In addition to changing a car’s motor oil less frequently, there are other things drivers should know about motor oil. • Oil does not necessarily need to be changed before a long trip. Taking a trip? While it’s good to have your car examined before embarking, if the recommended oil change interval is not up, then you do not need to preemptively change your oil. Such a change is likely unnecessary and will not improve the performance of your vehicle during the trip. • Black oil does not necessitate a change. Conventional wisdom once suggested if the oil on the dipstick is black then it needs to be changed. But nowadays automotive professionals are noting that black oil is doing its job and different additives might be changing the oil’s color, which means the oil doesn’t need to be changed.

• You can use petroleum-based oil after using synthetic. Another longstanding myth regarding motor oil was that once you use a synthetic motor oil instead of a petroleumbased oil you have to continue using synthetic oil, which is often more expensive than more traditional motor oil, in order to avoid harming the vehicle. However, automotive professionals have noted that these two types of oils are now often blended, meaning switching back and forth from one to the other is not likely to cause any damage to your vehicle. Just be sure to use motor oil that meets the standards set forth in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. • Consider an earlier oil change after buying a new vehicle. Sometimes a new vehicle will need an oil change after its first 3,000 miles. However, this does not mean your vehicle will need one every 3,000 miles. According to Blackstone Laboratories, which studies motor oil, oil samples taken from engines during their initial 3,000 miles of driving had elevated metal levels from the camshafts and pistons. These elevated levels will not necessarily be harmful, but some auto manufacturers recommend a shorter initial interval just to be safe. Honda, however, includes an anti-wear additive in their break-in oil and advises against changing their oil early. Consult your owner’s manual to determine if it’s best to change your oil after the initial 3,000 miles or to let it go until the recommended interval. —MetroCreative

bours. Nothing helps resolve a situation like seeing each other as actual human beings rather than “some jerk in a group house” or “some grouchy old guy who thinks he owns the street.” Learn your neighbours’ names, and find out what they do. Be neighbourly first. You even might invite them over for a meal. TOM: And poison them. RAY: Don’t listen to my brother. He’s been hated in every neighbourhood he’s ever lived in. Once you have some kind of basic relationship established, then you’ll be in a position to ask for a favour. That is, in fact, what you’re asking for. TOM: And here’s the secret: Most people LIKE doing favours for other people. It feels good to help

another person. They just don’t like being forced to accommodate other people. So ask really nicely. Explain that you know he has every right to park anywhere on the street. But say that because of your work and family situation, it really helps you a lot if you can park in front of your house, and you’re wondering if he might do you a favour and leave that space open whenever it’s not inconvenient for him. RAY: And ask him if there’s anything you can do for HIM in return. It’s possible that this relationship has already been poisoned, and you’re just going to have to live with the life-shortening effects of having a bad neighbour. But maybe you still can turn it around.

COST-EFFECTIVE FENCING OPTIONS Check these out! Fencing serves many purposes. Some homeowners erect a fence for privacy, while others do so to contain pets and children. Because fencing can be expensive, some homeowners look for ways to cut costs, which can be relatively easy, especially for those homeowners willing to consider various materials when erecting their fence.

Traditional fences are available in materials ranging from wood to vinyl to metal. Homeowners have other options at their disposal if they prefer a more natural fence. Different shrubs, trees or grasses can be planted to create a barrier between properties or within the property. When choosing a fencing material, consider that even a less

expensive material may prove more expensive in the long run if it needs significant maintenance or has to be replaced in just a few years. Therefore, the most cost-effective fencing material may not necessarily be the least expensive one at the store. Here are some materials homeowners can consider. • FOUND MATERIAL: Repurposed wood or metal can be crafted into a rustic, one-of-a-kind fence. Materials can be found that are no cost, requiring only the cost of labour. Should you build it

yourself, this can be next to nothing. Sometimes existing fences on another property can be disassembled and rebuilt on your own property for little to no cost as well. • CHAINLINK/CHAINWIRE: Chainlink fencing is one of the most economical types of boundary fencing. The fencing comes in a variety of diamond sizes and is fixed to galvanized pipes spaced across the perimeter of the property. Although it is some of the least expensive fencing, it does not offer much privacy on its own. But if you are looking at fencing simply as a barrier, chainlink could be the way to go. • PICKET FENCING: A wooden picket fence is another inexpensive fencing material. The pickets can be purchased in various heights, and this fence may be used as garden border fencing or to mark a property line between homes. Spacing the pickets widely apart may cut down on the number that need to

be purchased, further keeping the cost down. • BAMBOO: Bamboo is a rapidly growing grass that produces a hard wood-like material that is used in many building applications. Bamboo wood can be used to build a fence, but the natural plant also can be planted to form a living fence for privacy. • STOCKADE FENCING: A stockade fence is one of the more basic wood fencing options. Wooden slats are placed alongside one another to form an effective and affordable privacy fence. Stockade fencing can be stained or painted to preserve it. Many home improvement retailers sell panels of stockade fencing so that you can make fence installation a do-it-yourself project. There are many different fencing materials that can coordinate with a variety of budgets. – MetroCreative

GIRLS END SCHOOL’S GOLD DROUGHT IN A THRILLER Dan OLSON sports@thenownews.com

SPORTS SHORTS HAT TRICKS ABOUND

Behind three-goal efforts from Jordan Gilles, Reid Reinholdt and Vincent Ricci, the Coquitlam junior Adanacs paddled the Langley Thunder 12-8 on Wednesday. While the Thunder scored first, and made a concerted effort to keep it close, the A’s racked up four goals in each period to pick up its seventh win of the season and a piece of first place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League. Chipping in with a goal and three helpers was Challen Rogers.

The Archbishop Carney senior girls soccer team celebrates the end of a dream season, after holding on for a 2-1 win over Burnsview in the B.C. AA championship game last week in Courtenay. It was also the regional high school’s firstever provincial sports championship. The tournament didn’t start out so well, however. Two quick draws put the Port Coquitlam squad on its heels and in third place — and staring at a possible consolation bracket spot. Instead, they handily trounced last year’s provincial champion Seycove 5-1 and received the helpful required result in the other pool game to bump them into top spot and into the semifinals, where they edged Nanaimo 1-0 in a shootout. In the final, Isabelle Ryan gave the Stars an early lead. Picking up the tourney MVP award was Grade 11 Pam Scowby, who shifted from midfield to sweeper after the club’s regular sweeper was unavailable due to surgery.

“[Scowby] was really our only option, she was the best fit for the position,” noted Santoro. “She did an incredible job.” The end result is a school first and something that will hang in the gym for years to come. The squad included Grade 9s Taylor Fogliato, Jessica Cunningham and Lucy Keily, Gr. 10s Hannah Patterson, Shania Rodriguez and Brittni Wolczyk, Gr. 11s Lauren Kirkpatrick, Jordan Nolet, Adirana Piovesan, Isabelle Ryan and Pam Scowby, and seniors Julia Basa, Emma Cunningham, Hannah Healey, Brenna McDonnel, Val Peligrino, Megan Lui and captain Taylor Bach.

SONICS GAIN GROUND TAYLOR TOPPLES M’S

The B.C. Aquasonics submerged in 13th place and emerged in ninth after a tough run at the Canadian Espoir Synchronized Swimming championships in Ottawa. The 13-to-15 year old team was among 23 in its division, with a strong, eighth-place showing in the routine finals earning them ninth overall. The squad include’s Anmore’s Alanna Stobbe and Coquitlam’s Lani-Marie Carbonel. The 12-and-under Aquasonics squad closed out in eighth place, thanks to a sharp performance from Coquitlam’s Shaleigh Lachance The teenager finished sixth in the solo event and claimed a (top-six) podium spot.

Curtis Taylor finished what he started, leading the Coquitlam Reds past the Victoria Mariners 3-1 on Sunday on the Island. Taylor fanned seven and walked none in the strong outing, which saw Dalton Anderson, Brandon Becking and Jordan Zazulak each score a run. The Reds couldn’t carry that momentum over into the nightcap, as Victoria doubled up for a 4-2 bounce back decision. Jonathan Keltie pitched well in the loss, going six innings. Coquitlam began the Island road trip with a split with the Victoria Eagles, losing 5-4 and rocking out a 12-4 victory. Cam Williams had three hits in the win.

STEADY AS HE GOES

Coquitlam’s Craig Titterington stood second after the first round, and second at the end in the Maple Leaf Junior golf tour stop at Swan-e-Set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows. Titterington finished with a two-day score of 154 (78, 76) to claim second place overall in the junior boys 17-19 division. He trailed winner Josh Legge by five strokes. Two other Coquitlam golfers made the top10, with Ken Wei in seventh, after shooting 166 (85, 81), and Carson Spooner in eighth (86, 82=168). In bantam boys, Port Coquitlam’s Joel Shin came in 12th following rounds of 90 and 79 (169).

They’ve had their share of horseshoes and hand grenades in a variety of sports over the past 18 years. Often a bridesmaid, the Archbishop Carney Stars can now proudly hang a provincial championship banner high after the senior girls soccer team captured last week’s B.C. title. Carney clipped Fraser Valley rival Burnsview 2-1 in the provincial gold medal game in Courtenay, exacting some revenge after the Surrey school did the same just two weeks prior in the Valley final by the same score. “It’s been something we’ve been close to a couple of times,” recalled soccer coach Giorgio Santoro of the provincial sports drought. “Five times we came second, and I know some people who’d kind of joke about the Five times we ‘Carney curse.’” came second, In the final, that ‘curse’ was eradicated when Megan Lui and I know converted a corner kick with some people about 13 minutes left in regulawho’d kind of tion. Her goal came quick on the heels of Burnsview’s tally that joke about the pulled the teams even — and ‘Carney curse.’ appearing to give the higher –coach Giorgio ranked squad a boost in the momentum department. Santoro “[Burnsview’s] goal was sort of an unfortunate one,” recalled Santoro. “It really re-energized them, but our girls didn’t let up. We grabbed the ball off centre and got going.” After a quick corner kick, where Lui headed the ball into the top of the net, the Stars faced more than 13 minutes of extreme pressure as Burnsview pushed forward. The squad, led by goalkeeper Adirana Piovesan, sweeper Pam Scowby and midfielder Emma Cunningham, didn’t bend. “You don’t want to get ahead of yourself but it felt right. They were going to push and it was up to us to hold.” Fortunately, that had been Carney’s forté all season long. Over a 6-0 league record, the Stars outscored its opponents 42-1, and while they dropped the Valley final, came in to the B.C.s with full confidence.

The family of Trevor Wingrove were surrounded by the one-time lacrosse star’s teammates and friends as they unveiled a banner high in the

Poirier Sports Centre rafters during the first intermission of the junior Adanacs’ game with the Langley Thunder. Wingrove, who passed away in 2010, wore No. 23 during a junior career that saw the club advance to its first Minto Cup. That number is now retired.

It sent chills up your spine to see them unveil his number… He was such a well-liked guy amongst his teammates.” The ceremony, which included words from Trevor’s brother Craig and friend and ex-teammate Ken Thomas, attracted a large throng of explayers who packed Poirier’s centre floor in the first intermission in a game between the junior Adanacs and Langley. His career stats stand today fourth overall among alltime junior Adanacs totals. A studious player on the floor, Wingrove would also be equally as determined as a student, taking a lacrosse scholarship to attend Whittier College in California. Dave Wilfong, who coached Wingrove as a senior Adanac in the early-90s, recalled a person who’s positive presence transcended the game. “Craig said it best when he described Trevor’s influence

with him over the years. “At the end of the day, we all think so much of Trevor and to see him honoured among those banners that we saw up there when we played junior is real special, and deserved.” Coquitlam minor lacrosse had already renamed its annual Invitational tournament after the former City of Coquitlam employee. AbursaryfundinWingrove’s name has also been established to assist minor lacrosse players upon graduation.
