SHEPHERD IS THE ONLY FEMALE POLICE DOG IN METRO
Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It was just after midnight on a late winter’s morning in March, and Coquitlam Mounties were out looking for a bad guy. A suspect had just allegedly robbed a man outside an ATM machine along North Road. He took off into the night and may have gotten away with his crime. But unfortunately for the crook on this night, police had a secret weapon in the form of man’s best friend.
The suspect’s nemesis was a police dog named Chrisa, a two-and-a-half year-old female German shepherd, the one and only current female police canine in the Lower Mainland. She, along with her handler RCMP Cpl. Jamie Dopson, managed to track the suspect within 10 minutes, hiding out in a backyard. It was Chrisa’s first successful apprehension on the job. Ironically, the arrest came on International Women’s Day. Since that first arrest, the canine and the constable have racked up about a half CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Casino to rebrand as Hard Rock FIRST OF ITS KIND IN CANADA, COQUITLAM CASINO WILL FOCUS ON ENTERTAINMENT
John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com Coquitlam’s Boulevard Casino is undergoing a face lift that will see it re-branded as the first Hard Rock Casino location in Canada. Slated to open this winter under the name Hard Rock Casino Vancouver, the facility is being renovated and re-branded to become a “destination of choice” for both touring musicians and tourists themselves. The casino will be owned and operated by the Great Canadian Gaming Corp. under licence from Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. “It’s a multi-million-dollar change on the property,” said Howard Blank, vice-president of communications with Great Canadian. “The entire casino is going through stages right now, [being] totally re-done. We will wow you on every corner of it, but it will be done tastefully. It won’t be an all in-your-face type of thing. This will be done in a real, cool unique British Columbia way to give our spin on the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver. As part of the renovation process, both Java Jack’s and the Lions Den will be refurbished, while live entertainment and programming will be offered on the gaming floor. More than a half dozen new dining and drink options will be introduced, as will a

“The Hard Rock Casino memorabilia that we’ll have access to will have a special empha-
sis on British Columbia, Canadian and, of course, local artists that have put us on the world stage. Hence, that’s why we’re Hard Rock Vancouver — there’s something for everyone,” Blank said. It’s hoped the affiliation with an established brand like Hard Rock will help attract more marquee names to the casino. In August and September alone, the facility will play host to performances by Kris Kristofferson, Toni Braxton, Whitesnake, Bad Company and Cheech & Chong. “We’re also going to be a reason why people come out to us. As opposed to making us one of the stops on their tour, we’re going to try and be everything in one location,” Blank said. “That will be a help to Coquitlam too, we hope, with added revenue. Because of our relationship with the Hard Rock Casino Group, it enables us to bring in artists that might not have graced our stage.” The announcement represents the third name change in the casino’s roughly 15-year history in the city. Initially it was called Casino Coquitlam, before taking on its current moniker, the Boulevard Casino. The renovations are expected to be complete by the end of this year. twitter.com/johnkurucz
Port Moody looking for new fire boat deal Jeremy DEUTSCH
jdeutsch@thenownews.com For nearly two decades, Port Moody’s fire department has teamed up with neighbouring colleagues to fight any blazes along the waterfront. However, by the end of the year, the city’s fire department could be providing the service by itself. The department used to belong to the Metro Vancouver Fire Boat Consortium, a group made up of departments from Burnaby, Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver. In this case, the department shared a fire boat with Burnaby. But Burnaby pulled out of the consortium, and the 20-year agreement was supposed to come to an end in 2012. The agreement was extended for one more year, with Port Moody operating its own fire boat until a new model is put in place. Fire chief Remo Faedo said his department is currently looking at options beyond this year. He noted some of the options for the department could include signing up with Vancouver as that city works on its own marine fire protection program and fleet. Faedo suggested there are a few potential question marks with that option, most notably the kind of response time Port
Moody would get from boats stationed in Vancouver. “There’s still a lot of information required before we can even go there,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. Another option would be for the department to operate its own boat. Under the consortium agreement, the city paid about $25,000 annually to share a boat with Burnaby. There were originally five boats in the consortium, but due in part to age and fewer communities taking part in the agreement, the fleet dropped to three. The Burnaby-Port Moody boat, which is kept at the Suncor facility along the border of the two communities, is equipped to fight a marine fire and is outfitted with necessities like breathing apparatuses and a capacity to pump plenty of water. The department also has trained fireboat operators on staff. Faedo noted the department doesn’t tend to deal with too many marine fires, noting the majority of calls are to the marina. But he did suggest fires there have been significant, and without a boat the losses could mount quickly. “So there’s value in having marine fire protection, there’s no doubt about that,” Faedo said. The boat’s mandate is strictly for marine fire protection of properties within city boundaries. The fire chief also explained the transition to operate the

boat on its own was seamless for the department. He indicated operating its own boat would likely cost the department a little bit more than under the consortium agreement. “We’re hoping to have another shared model replace the existing model,” Faedo said. While the department still has half a year to decide, the chief said plans are already being considered and a decision would likely come before the end of the year.
Group pushes for Coquitlam byelection John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com You can count Steve Bailey and a handful of others as firmly in the pro-byelection camp in Coquitlam. Bailey and a few other residents spent Tuesday morning handing out leaflets at Coquitlam City Hall promoting the need to hold a byelection in the wake of former councillors
Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson being elected provincially in May. Though he’s worked alongside Robinson and other left-leaning council members on community initiatives in the past, Bailey said Tuesday’s exercise was not politically motivated. Bailey also maintains he has no intention of running for a seat on council. “This isn’t political. This is about
a chance for people to exercise their democratic rights,” said Bailey, 66. “It’s another opportunity to have dialogue around community issues and be able to consider people’s positions on those and to have a full complement.” Reimer and Robinson were both granted unpaid leaves of absence last month, with the city hoping the province will establish new rules
around byelection requirements. More than 10 other communities across B.C. are facing similar circumstances in the wake of the May 14 provincial election. Byelections, which typically draw around five per cent of eligible voters, cost the city anywhere from $150,000 to $300,000. However, the city currently has $639,000 allocated in an election
reserve fund for both byelections and general elections. “I see as it as an investment in the future for our city and for fullbodied dialogue,” Bailey said. “It’s about the process rather than the results. And if two people with varying political views get elected, then there’s a richer dialogue.” The issue is set to be debated at the July 8 council meeting.

Plan for Rocky Point pay parking stalls
PORT MOODY WON’T CONSULT WITH PUBLIC UNTIL IT HAS MORE OPTIONS TO PRESENT
Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com While the City of Port Moody continues to work on options for the possibility of bringing pay parking to Rocky Point Park, council isn’t quite ready for feedback from the public. Council voted recently to scuttle a pay parking public engagement plan, instead opting to have the plan further flushed out in a future committee of the whole meeting. The politicians’ main bone of contention appeared to be the lack of pay parking options being presented to
the public. “I find this public engagement incredibly lacking in depth in comparison to the staff report,” Coun. Diana Dilworth said, adding a healthy consultation process would present different options. The public engagement that was proposed but ultimately quashed asked three questions, including whether respondents are in favour of pay parking in the park, why or why not, and whether they currently have adequate access to parking in the park. Coun. Rick Glumac said he shared similar concerns
as Dilworth, arguing the consultation process needs to include a phase during which the various options for pay parking are flushed out and presented to the public. The consultation included spending $4,860 for ads, billboard signage, an open house and online consultation. In response, city staff said the consultation is in a preliminary state and the intention is to get a clear idea of what the community would

businesses, the report gives an option for free parking through obtaining a parking pass or registering their licence plate number. Port Moody residents and businesses could also have the option of buying an annual pass, or discounted rates could be offered to locals. Options to encourage turnover in the park include creating short-term and long-term lots, or configuring meters with payment controls on the
amount of time that can be purchased. The report also noted a discussion with the City of White Rock regarding that municipality’s pay parking program, which grosses $2.8 million annually for 1,155 stalls. A report earlier this year on the issue identified seven lots in and around Rocky Point Park that provide free parking, totalling 236 stalls, and another 38 stalls reserved for boat launch parking only.

forward by Coun. Diana Dilworth, who said she was moved by a presentation by the Belcarra South Preservation Society, the group representing the renters. She also expressed concern that Metro Vancouver says the cabins are not being taken care of, noting that a delegation from the society went to “great lengths” to articulate what they have been doing to keep them in a state of good repair. For decades, a group of residents has been living in the set of Metro-Vancouver owned cottages in the regional park. In February, Metro Vancouver served the residents with an eviction notice, which would see them out by the end of August. Earlier this month, the society asked for support from Port Moody city council in its fight to stay in the cabins. In 2005, Metro Vancouver wanted to demolish the cottages and asked the group to leave, in part out of concerns over their drinking water. Eventually the district relented after the residents agreed to upgrade the water system,amongotherimprove-
ments to the cottages. This time, the regional district has identified the lands for possible expansion of the park. Metro Vancouver also expressed liability concerns regarding water supply and the state of the cottages. A Port Moody staff report noted if the city were to receive a building permit application for the cabins in the future, issues around water supply, fire service protection and sanitary and storm sewer systems would need to be dealt with before it could be issued. The report also noted the city issues property tax notices for the buildings to the owner, which is Metro Vancouver. The society is then billed on behalf of Metro Vancouver. The total bill for 2013 is $15,126. The report indicated the historic Bole House, located just south of the cabins, would be retained and was added to the city’s heritage register in 2003. As for Metro Vancouver, the district’s environment and parks committee will be considering options for renters at a July 11 meeting.

It’s hard to argue with these results
T
here was a huge outcry when B.C.’s tough new drinking and driving laws came into effect nearly three years ago, but the results seem clear: the new laws are saving lives. According to a study completed last month by Scott Macdonald, assistant director of the University of Victoria’s Centre for Addiction Research, there’s been a 42per-cent reduction in alcohol-related fatal crashes since the new laws came into effect in September 2010. Macdonald and his team took into account that drinking and driving collisions have been dropping for three decades in North America, due to education, graduated licensing and other changes. But over and above that drop, they say, the new laws have prevented an estimated 44 fatal collisions per year. Macdonald credits the success of the new laws partly to the fact that they save police time. Instead of taking three hours to process one person through the Criminal Code, he told the Globe and Mail, an officer can now give an immediate sanction to a driver who blows over the legal limit, then get back on the road and look for more drinking drivers. But the new laws have their detractors. The BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA), for example, is an intervener in a case called Chisholm et al. v. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles — brought by a number of people challenging the tougher regulations. The BCCLA believes the laws are unjust because the only evidence of impairment is the result of the roadside screening device, which it says is not as reliable as a Breathalyzer, and yields results that would not stand up in court. The group also says the laws are unjust because they impose severe penalties without a criminal conviction. The presumption of being innocent until proven guilty is the cornerstone of our legal system, yet getting drunk drivers off the road saves lives. How do we balance these competing interests? It seems the get-tough camp has already won, since it’s impossible to argue with a grieving parent holding a photo of a child who was killed by a drinking driver.
FEW PEOPLE HAVE DONE SO MUCH TO PROMOTE HUMAN RIGHTS IN PRISON Re: “A story of compassion,” Wednesday, June 12. Thank you for featuring the story of this remarkable woman in your June 12 edition. The tragic death of Mary Steinhauser is such an important part of, not only B.C. history, but also Canadian history. Her death was a sorrow to family and friends and a tremendous loss to our nation. You do us all a service by reminding us of her valuable work in the Canadian penitentiary system. Few people have the compassion and courage to step forward the way she did to promote rehabilitation and human rights in a prison. Sadly, she paid with her own life in that pursuit. Sadly, too, the investigation into her death leaves many questions to this day. Clearly, her story needs to be kept alive and the events of that time need more scrutiny.

Get ready for spending cuts
B
ritish Columbians are about to find out what it means for a government to balance its budget when money starts to perform a vanishing act. With less money coming in, it means the government has to cut spending to achieve its balanced budget goal — and it’s inevitable some of that reduced spending is going to result in some howls of outrage from those affected the most. The B.C. Liberals were re-elected almost solely on the issue of economic management, and that included their promise to deliver balanced budgets, year in and year out. But the budget update provided this past week contained some unsettling numbers that underscore how hard it will be to balance the books without creating controversy. First of all, the forecast for tax revenues has been slashed by more than $200 million. Finance Minister Mike de Jong is balancing his budget on a razor’s edge (the projected surplus is now down to a mere $153 million, which is almost a rounding error on a $44 billion budget) so a revenue hit of that magnitude can very quickly wreck the best laid plans. Also worrisome for de Jong has to be a decline in the projected performance of some key economic indicators from the budget three months ago. GDP, personal incomes, corporate profits, retail sales — all are expected to perform worse than was envisioned in February. On a more positive note, natural gas is making a bit of a comeback. Once a vital contributor to the government’s revenue base, natural gas revenues have collapsed in recent years but are now expected to come in more than $100 million higher than was forecast in February.
VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey
But, overall, there is little reason for any significant optimism on the revenue side. This brings us to the spending side of the budget, and this is where the public is going to feel the impact. The B.C. government presents its budget as part of a three-year fiscal plan, and the next two years don’t look much rosier than the current year (although the 2015-16 budget does contain significantly more breathing room when it comes to achieving a surplus). On paper, de Jong is looking to chop at least $130 million over the next three years from his budget. On top of that, he is allocating funding increases to the health-care system that are a little more than half of what they have been for years. These moves will undoubtedly impact government services for several years. It’s hard to see how wait times in the health-care system will be reduced in any meaningful way, and in fact they may well increase. The government is also signalling it intends to put the brakes on any increase for physician fees. This could result in a confrontation with doctors, which is the kind of fight governments rarely win. All in all, the three-year fiscal plan suggests that anyone who relies on government services should not expect an improvement in them any time soon. In fact, the budget squeeze could result in
the elimination of some of those services, or at the very least deterioration in their quality. And B.C.’s teachers should realize there is no money put aside for wage increases. Any pay hikes will have to come from “savings” found within the education system, a difficult if not impossible task. But there is what appears to be an inconsistency in this three-year restraint program. While government programs are being squeezed, frozen or being eliminated the provincial debt will continue to climb at a remarkable pace. Capital spending on such things as schools, hospitals, roads, bridges and BC Hydro facilities mean the province will rack up a further $7 billion in debt over the next three years (this, after climbing almost $30 billion since 2006). To give you an indication of how fast the debt is escalating, consider this: the government’s debt went up more than $350,000 during de Jong’s half-hour budget update presentation last week! During the election campaign, Premier Christy Clark kept suggesting the province’s debt could be wiped out because of pending fortunes to be made from the export of liquefied natural gas. Before we get there though, the debt will keep climbing, which is the direct opposite of what she was talking about on the campaign trail. But she also talked about balancing the budget. Her government may never achieve those debt reduction targets, but it’s betting the farm it will accomplish the balancing act. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.
LETTERS HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?
I refer to the article in the June 26, edition of the Tri-Cities NOW regarding Tony Chong’s payout as well as compensation levels for Port Coquitlam excluded staff and elected officials. According to the article, Mr. Chong accumulated hundreds of unused vacation days over his nearly 30 years with the city. My question is why was he allowed to bank so much vacation time? Based on my understanding the CAO reports directly to mayor. So over the 30 years Mr. Chong was employed by the city, none of the mayors during his tenure saw fit to ensure that Mr. Chong’s vacation time was properly managed and appropriately taken. So as a result, PoCo taxpayers are on the hook for a massive bill. Nevermind the fact that a lot of this banked time was earned years ago when Mr. Chong’s compensation was much less and yet it was paid out at his salary of over $200,000 when he retired in April. Recently, the city discovered an accounting error that resulted in a surplus of about $500,000. Apparently, the city couldn’t use this surplus to reduce the level of
taxation for 2013, so our elected officials decided to spend it on various projects. I have to wonder if it crossed their collective minds to use at least some of the surplus to help pay for the $429,000 payout Mr. Chong received. The other point I would like to make concerns the level of compensation Mayor Greg Moore received as mayor of PoCo and as chair of the Metro Vancouver board. According to the article, in 2012 Mr. Moore received $93,033 as mayor and an additional $72,372 as Metro chair for a total of $165,405. When you factor in that one-third of this is tax free, his compensation amounted to the equivalent of about $220,000 if it was fully taxed like the rest of us. To put this into perspective he was paid over $18,000 a month. Nice money if you can get it but I have to ask the question: How much is too much? Bruce Cox Port Coquitlam ••• Every day the news just keeps getting better! PoCo’s city manager retiring and getting $429K! Congratulations Mr. Chong, you worked the system beautifully and had a mayor and council supporting you to do it over the past 30 years.
Fortunately I live in Port Moody and I’m sure that we would never allow such a circumstance (tongue in cheek). Nor do I live in Coquitlam where the salary bill is almost $65M and where 105 bureaucrats make over $100K — some way, way over $100K. I hopefully live in a city that better polices its accumulated time policies and ensures that the salaries of staff more closely meet those in the private sector. My concerns about the PoCo city manager’s situation include: 15 months holiday saved over 30 years is about two weeks per year that he either didn’t need or couldn’t take because he was so overworked. If so, why offer so much holiday time if it isn’t needed to keep the employee fresh and revived so he may do a stellar job for the whole year (the reason for holidays)? If he didn’t need it, reduce the amount of holiday entitlement. Secondly, why on Earth wouldn’t the mayor and council insist that the time be taken each and every year or perhaps ensure that only a few weeks — not months — were accumulated. If the council wasn’t aware of how much was accumulated, then shame on them and have they fired their personnel manager

and/or the payroll staff people who were responsible? Or failing having done so earlier, once it was known that there was so much time involved, why did they not insist that he take a year’s plus holiday before retiring and thereby avoid writing the cheque? Additionally, I was surprised (but shouldn’t have been because of the trough mentality) to read that the payout included “service severance payments” though it wasn’t stated how much that was. What is a “service severance payment” and aren’t the managers and staff covered by some form of pension plan? Would there be a pension plan and service severance perhaps? When I think about how much is spent on the city government, the school bureaucrats including superintendents, etc., Metro Vancouver assessments, the provincial government, the MLAs’ offices and staff, etc. and then tag on all the federal bills and the quasi-private salaries and overheads then look at the toonie I carry in my pocket, no wonder they’ve discontinued the penny because that’s exactly what the toonie is starting to look like.

Coquitlam sees less cash from developers as building slows
about your next move?
John KURUCZ
GET SOME DIRECTION
jkurucz@thenownews.com After two straight years of record-setting growth, the climate for development in Coquitlam could be cooling off. That finding came to light at last week’s council in committee meeting, as staff issued the city’s 2012 annual report. Sheena MacLeod, the city’s manager of financial services, noted the amount of development cost charges (DCCs) currently coming into the city is at about half of what it was at this time last year. Two years ago represented

www.schwarzlegal.ca
the highest totals ever experienced in the city, as DCCs hovered around $20 million in 2011. Last year that number was pegged at $16 million. However, city staff are holding out hope the back half of 2013 could see a rebound. “To date, 2013 DCC revenues collected for the same portion of last year are significantly lower,” notes a staff report. “However, there are a number of significant development projects awaiting final approval and, as a result, we anticipate the final 2013 DCC collections to be similar to 2012.”
June 30 to August 2
Jim McIntyre, the city’s manager of planning and development, partly attributed the dip to a lack of largescale projects — highrise towers, for example — coming to the city in the first part of 2013. Should that slower pace of development continue throughout the rest of the year, it could force council to delay or pull back from various infrastructure or capital projects next year. Outside of that forecast, however, there were reasons to be optimistic about the 2012 numbers: the crime rate fell for the fourth year in a row, while property taxes fell for the fifth year as well. The value of construction
in 2012 came in at $378 million, compared to the $394 million seen in 2011. Close to 1,200 new business licences were issued, on top of 4,767 renewals. The city’s annual Ipsos Reid survey suggested 96 per cent of Coquitlam residents rated their quality of life as “good” or “very good,” while 83 per cent of residents felt they received good value for their tax dollars. “[2012] was a really, really good year for the city,” MacLeod said. “The highlights of this annual report are our assets went up, our cash balances went up, our debts went down and every area achieved a bit of surplus.”

Coquitlam Mounties were called to a report of a stolen car in Port Coquitlam late Wednesday evening. Eventually police caught up with a woman related to the stolen vehicle in the Riverside Drive area of town. So she decided to give the attending officer a fake name. That wasn’t the best decision. According to police, it turns out the name the woman gave was for a person they had an arrest warrant for. The woman quickly confessed her real name. RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the tale should serve as a reminder for people to always be truthful in giving their name to police. “There’s always a chance the fake name could be wanted for things like murder or another serious crime,” he said, adding it’s generally a good idea to carry some form of identification too. He also noted it’s a criminal offence to give a fake name, adding it could lead to obstruction or impersonation charges. The detachment sent out this tweet about the incident the next day: “Auto theft suspect gave fake name of oth person then told us her real name, after learning oth person has a warrant #LessonLearned #quirkies.” As for the stolen vehicle, Mounties are still investigating the file and no charges have been laid against the woman. ••• With what now appears to be the official arrival of summer, Coquitlam Mounties are reminding residents to stay safe when playing near local lakes. The reminder also comes with a notice that people can expect increased patrols at recreational areas like Buntzen Lake, Pitt Lake and Indian Arm. “We are not trying to rain on your summer festivities in the great outdoors,” said RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “Our goal is to keep everyone safe both on land and in water by eliminating preventable injuries and deaths.” Police offer the following tips: • Don’t push your limits when playing in water. Many drowning instances over the years have been as a result of fatigue and being too far from shore. Fatigue, sun, wind and boat motion can dull your senses and impair fine motor skills and judgment. • Boaters, tubers and swimmers alike should always wear life jackets or personal flotation devices when on the water. They save lives. • Before heading out on the water, boaters should make sure their boat is equipped with enough Canadian approved life jackets to fit themselves and everyone on board. • Boaters should get their Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC).

Parents and caregivers of young children should be extra cautious in extreme heat
PHOTO – DREAMSTIME
As a parent or caregiver, you should be aware of the increased health risks to infants and young children posed by extreme heat.
While all children can suffer from heat-related illnesses, at highest risk are those with asthma, heart or kidney problems, mental
or physical disabilities, developmental disorders, diarrhea and those on certain medications. If children in your care are at increased risk, speak to your primary care provider about the specific steps you should take to minimize the dangers during very hot weather. You can also take the following precautions to keep infants and young children safe in the heat: ◗ Keep children hydrated by giving them cool liquids — preferably water — before they feel thirsty. ◗ Dress kids in loose-fitting clothing, a breathable hat, and keep them in the shade whenever possible. ◗ If available, check the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) at www.airhealth. ca before leaving the house as children tend to be more sensitive to air pollution, which is often at higher levels during extreme heat. • Learn to recognize the symptoms of heat
13
illnesses, including unusual sleepiness or temper tantrums, dizziness, fainting, nausea, vomiting, headache, rapid heartbeat or breathing, extreme thirst and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine.
Young children and infants are one of the groups identified by Health Canada as having increased health risk during extremely hot weather. Parents and caregivers can find more information and advice at www. healthycanadians.gc.ca/ sun, such as the helpful brochure Protect Your Children from the Heat, also available by emailing publications@hc-sc.gc.ca or calling 1-866-225-0709. www.newscanada.com

LOCALS GET NHL CALL For Port Moody’s Adam Tambellini and Port Coquitlam’s Evan Campbell, Sunday kicked off a terrific Canada Day celebration. The two local B.C. Hockey League products were selected in the 2013 NHL Draft. Tambellini, 18, was chosen by the New York Rangers with the fourth pick in the third round and 65th overall, after helping the Surrey Eagles advance all the way to the Royal Bank Cup championship final this past spring. Bound for the University of North Dakota in September, the six-foot-two playmaker netted 36 goals and 29 assists over 52 games. Campbell, who starred with the Langley Rivermen the past two seasons after starting out with the Coquitlam Express, was grabbed by the Edmonton Oilers in the fifth round. A 20-year-old winger, Campbell contributed 20 goals and 46 assists over 51 games with Langley, netting a scholarship to the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
A’S SLIP PAST BELLIES
The Coquitlam junior A Adanacs got a pair of third period goals from Steven Neufeld to knock off the New Westminster Salmonbellies 8-7 Saturday at Queen’s Park. The six-foot-eight shooter took Wesley Berg’s pass with under eight minutes remaining and fired shortside past New West netminder Frank Scigliano. It gave Coquitlam a brief two-goal lead, but the Bellies cut that to a single when Kyle Dobbie added a tally for New West. The Bellies applied intense pressure during the final seconds of the game, but netminder Davide DeRuscio made both stops as part of a 56-save performance. Coquitlam now holds a 15-3-0 record, and hosts Burnaby on Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre.
KUDABA NETS AWARD
Port Coquitlam’s Con Kudaba was among 20 athletes across the nation to be a given a helping hand last week. A member of the Canadian men’s national water polo team, Kudaba received a $5,000 bursary from the Investors Group as part of the company’s Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes Fund bursary. “This bursary to me is a sign telling me to continue striving to be a true ambassador of the sport and emphasize the importance of giving back to the water polo community both locally and around Canada,” said Kudaba, 26, in a press release. Some of his most recent exploits in the water include a gold at the 2013 World Championship Qualification Tournament and a silver medal at the 2013 Volvo Cup.
TROY LANDREVILLE/MAPLE RIDGE TIMES
Staying in the picture, Coquitlam’s SooBin Kim maintained a furious pace over four days to record her second straight secondplace showing at the B.C. Amateur Women’s Golf championship in Pitt Meadows last week.
Kim repeats as Amateur runnerup For the second straight year, Coquitlam’s SooBin Kim shared in the chase but finished second overall at the B.C. Women’s Amateur golf championship. The University of Washington athlete was briefly in the lead but couldn’t hold back Hawaiian Cassy Isagawa, who posted back-toback 68s en route to a six-stroke win at the Pitt Meadows Golf Club. Kim, who a year ago finished four shots back of Christine Wong, led by one shot after
the opening two rounds with rounds of 72 and 71. Consistent to the core, she closed out with rounds of 71 and 72 to stand 10-strokes under par — the same mark as last year at Christina Lake. After an opening round that saw her register her lone eagle — on the eighth hole — Kim trailed Isagawa by two, but the tables were turned on the second day when the Gleneagle alumna fired a 71 to lead 144 to 143. However, Isagawa posted 11 birdies and two eagles over
the last two days to roll to the B.C. crown. With the win, Isagawa, who attends the University of Oregon, became the first known international winner of the women’s B.C. amateur title. In a two-way tie for second was Kim’s UW teammate Jennifer Yang, also of Coquitlam. Yang posted a four-day total of 293, 13 shots back of the lead. In seventh position was Port Coquitlam’s Anica Yoo, at one under, with a score of 295 over four rounds.
Junior A’s wheel and deal on deadline Mike Gillis, you’ve been schooled. The Coquitlam junior Adanacs demonstrated how to turn goaltending depth into playoff help with a swatch of deals prior to the June 30 B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League roster deadline, picking up five players for the stretch drive.
The Adanacs, who jumped into sole possession of first place on the weekend (see sidebar), acquired Tyler Buchan from Burnaby, netminder Peter Dubenski from Nanaimo, and snipers Matt Delmonico and Tyler Pace from the PoCo Saints. They also got the rights to PoCo intermediate Mitch Milani, who hasn’t played
this season. Although PoCo surrendered its top offensive sticks in Delmonico and Pace, it breaks down to renting the intermediate-aged up Pace, whose rights will revert back to the Saints after the season, and letting a veteran finish his junior career with a shot at a Minto Cup.
“[Coquitlam] wanted some right-handed power to fill in some gaps for the playoffs, and I wanted a goalie for the future,” said Saints general manager/president Reg Thompson. “They were reluctant to give [Gallant] up... He came highly recommended.” For more on the trade, go to www.thenownews.com.
