2014: a year of highs and lows FROM TRAGEDIES TO HEARTWARMING STORIES, THIS IS A YEAR TO REMEMBER APRIL

What a year it was. From the good news to the bad, we take a look back at some of the big stories of 2014. Check out our next edition, on Wednesday, Jan. 31, to read Part 2.

JANUARY The look of relief on Dan Reaveley’s face outside of Courtroom 209 in New Westminster likely said it all. Just moments earlier, on the afternoon of Jan. 3, the Coquitlam father of four heard from a judge what he had been waiting on for nearly three years. Cory Sater, the man behind the wheel of a truck that mowed down his wife and two others, was guilty of a crime. Sater was found guilty of six charges, including impaired driving causing death and bodily harm and dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm. “It’s nice to know there is a little bit of accountability,” he told the media outside the New Westminster law courts. “The biggest thing for me is setting a precedence for people who go jump in the car after they drink, so it definitely sets a stage for people coming up.” Sater originally faced 10 charges related to the crash on Feb. 19, 2011 that killed Charlene Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz on the side of Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam. A third person, Cruz’s boyfriend Paulo Calimbahin, was seriously injured. At the end of his trial in October, Sater pled guilty to a charge of hit and run. The Crown, due to a lack of evidence, dropped three charges related to Sater’s blood-alcohol level. Prior to the incident, Cruz had been driving with her boyfriend in a Nissan Pathfinder just before 12:30 a.m., when the vehicle crashed near Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road. The two got out of the car, while the Reaveleys and two friends stopped to help. As the group stood outside the Nissan, a white Jeep Cherokee ran down both women. Reaveley and Cruz were killed instantly, while Calimbahin was seriously injured. In his reasons, Supreme Court Justice James Williams accepted the testimony of several of the Crown’s witnesses during the trial, including four employees at the Lougheed Village Bar & Grill where Sater drank with a cousin and an acquaintance before the incident. The 13-day trial, which took place in October 2013, included at times emotional testimony from witnesses at the scene of the crash, including a 911 tape played in court that recorded the moment of impact. In all, the Crown called 31 witnesses and experts during the trial, while the defence called none. Sater was sentenced to nine years in jail, reduced to 7.5 for time served.

FEBRUARY Every pet owner has had that moment. Crouching down among a group of puppies or kittens, watching their little tails wagging as they swarm your feet, tumbling over your toes and each other for the small chance you’ll give them some food and a hug. Just like that, you’re in the car driving home with a new best friend. Coquitlam’s Riina Cooke knows that moment. She had it when she first met her “baby,” a boxer pup named Romeo, more than eight years ago. Since then she’s never been apart from her

NOW FILE PHOTO

The trial of Cory Sater, serving 7.5 years for the crash that killed Charlene Reavely and Lorraine Cruz, was painful for many. Reavely’s husband, Dan, speaks to media. four-legged friend, but soon she’ll have to be. “He had a slight limp on his left hind leg in October,” Cooke told the Tri-Cities NOW. “He went in for another operation, and I asked while he was under if they could X-ray his hips and knees, and then when they did that they found he had a tumor inside his femur bone.” The diagnosis was osteosarcoma, one of the most painful cancers — it starts in the bones and, as time goes on the tumor grows, essentially bursting the leg from the inside out. To treat this kind of cancer, the vets say they have to amputate, but due to Romeo’s age and underlying medical conditions, he wouldn’t survive the procedure. In a matter of seconds, Cooke went from thinking her dog had some arthritis to hearing she was going to lose her best friend of eight years. She was shattered. “I spent a couple of days in bed depressed. He’s my baby,” Cooke said. “Then one day I looked at him and thought, ‘I’m not going to cry anymore. I’m going to make every day count.’” Instead of being down during her dog’s final days, Cooke decided to step up and treat her friend to the finer things in life. She made Romeo a bucket list: Romeo met Bif Naked, rode inside fire trucks and police cars, had a steak dinner at Lafarge Lake made special by The Keg, went on “doggy dates” with other boxers, ate a classic McDonald’s cheeseburger and went to the Coquitlam Animal Shelter to donate some money. Romeo died in mid March.

MARCH Brave. That’s the word used to describe Mary Steinhauser, who was killed during a botched hostage taking at the old B.C. Penitentiary in New Westminster in 1975. On March 29 at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam, an event aptly titled Brave: The Mary Steinhauser Legacy celebrated the former nurse and social worker’s life and accomplishments. Steinhauser’s younger sister Margaret Franz, who had been working on the event

for more than a year, described it as a night of “history and hope.” “The evening, although it touches on sad and tragic events, it moves into the future to inspire others and to continue into her very brave path of speaking out,” Franz told the Tri-Cities NOW. “I felt her incredible bravery and sacrifice needed to be told again.” Steinhauser, 32, was killed on June 11, 1975. In the early 1960s, she trained as a nurse for two years at Essondale Hospital, or Riverview as it later became known, making stops at various institutions before landing at the B.C. Pen in the 1970s. An advocate for prison reform and social justice, she was one of 15 classification officers — or parole officers as they’re now known — held hostage in an old vault by three men: Claire Wilson, Dwight Lucas and Andy Bruce. In an act of selfless bravery, the social worker, who was well liked by inmates, offered herself up as the principal hostage. Along with one of her captors, she was shot by guards, bringing the 41-hour ordeal to an end. The memorial evening featured the aboriginal group Dancers of Damelahamid, as well as a series of spoken word performances from people who were a part of Steinhauser’s life or inspired by her actions, including Dennis Neveu, a former inmate on her case load. Event director Karen Freeborn said she was inspired to get involved after learning of Steinhauser’s story from former inmate Neveu. “Through his eyes, I witnessed Mary’s bravery as she forged ahead to incorporate a new model of rehabilitation in the penitentiary system,” Freeborn wrote in an e-mail. “I felt the power of her brave resolve to fight for social justice and human rights within this new model, and against fierce opposition. I observed, through this man, the great love and respect that he and so many other inmates had for Mary, in an era when incarceration was synonymous with severe and unusual punishment; and I felt the sting of tears the inmates shed when they lost her.” Proceeds from the event go towards the Mary Steinhauser Memorial Bursary for aboriginal undergrads studying humanities at SFU.

Middle school cafeterias, librarians and school bus services are among the areas hardest hit in the School 43 budget, as trustees and staff grapple with a $13.4-million operating shortfall for the 2014-15 school year. The list of cuts is massive and runs deep across the district. The resulting loss of fulltime positions includes: • 91 teaching positions, including psychologists, speech language pathologists, high incidence teachers, librarians and student services coordinators, counsellors and teachers working to maintain class size and composition • 55 support staff positions, including noonhour supervisors and maintenance positions • 33.5 educational support positions, including teaching assistants, youth workers and library clerks • two administrator positions Once part-time positions are taken into account, the numbers are even higher. Middle school cafeteria programs and busing services are eliminated alongside the teaching positions. A breakdown of the numbers shows the cuts in relation to anticipated savings: 103 teachers (just under $8 million), 22 support staff ($905,000), 33 educational assistants ($1.1 million) and four administrators ($525,000). The district attributes the majority of its budget shortfall to inflation and provincial funding cuts. “I think the nine of us make wonderful scapegoats ... the province needs us in our place to buffer them from criticism,” former Trustee Brian Robinson said. “And we’re really wearing it right now.” Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president Charley King says the budget cuts are “going to create an awful lot of chaos.” He also accuses senior district staff of not being forthright in the budget with plans to hire three managers. “I think it’s a real slap in the face to our members that the district leadership is proposing cutting over 100 teachers and at the same time adding three new management positions and a principal in charge of international education,” he says. The final budget is approved in early May — a month and a half before the B.C.-wide teachers’ strike begins.

MAY The Coquitlam Express’s dream season comes to an end at the Western Canada Cup tournament in Dauphin, Man. Having advanced to the western finals after toppling the heavily-favoured Vernon Vipers in the Fred Page Cup final, the Express run out of steam in the team’s final loss in Manitoba, falling 5-3 to the Spruce Grove Saints. As disappointing as the loss is, the season is a success in so many ways. “Obviously it hasn’t completely sunken in on what we accomplished, as the loss is still fresh in our minds,” captain Ryan Rosenthal said at the time. “What I take away from this is just how extremely proud of everyone on this team I am, and how much we achieved over the year.” The ninth-seeded team at the start of the B.C. Hockey League (BCHL) playoffs, the Express stick to an incredible storyline, coming from behind in each game en route to CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Keara Killam and her son Dayton, 6, are hosting blood drives this holiday season in honour of three-year-old Grady, who died in March of acute myeloid leukemia.

Blood donor clinics are deeply personal

jdeutsch@thenownews.com It’s easy to get caught up in all the bustle of the Christmas season — the parties, shopping and gifts. That’s why Keara Killam and her family are hoping people will take a moment during the holidays to think about people with illnesses who are fighting for their lives. The family is also hoping Tri-Cities residents will step up and give the gift of blood this season. The Anmore mom, with the help of Canadian Blood Services, has organized a handful of blood donor clinics over the holidays, including two in Coquitlam. For Killam, it’s a deeply personal way to honour her three-year-old son Grady, who died in March of acute myeloid leukemia. During his nine months of treatment, he received more than 100 transfusions that not only gave the family hope, but also time. “I want people to give because for us, it’s what kept Grady alive for so long,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW, pointing out her son would have at least one and sometimes two transfusions a day. Killam said before her son got cancer, she just figured blood was needed for people in car crashes or surgeries. The reality hit home one summer day the previous year when Grady suffered a massive stroke and doctors were going to use blood to help repair the damage. Killam remembers being worried there wouldn’t be enough blood available to help her son. “I didn’t realize when children are in treatment for cancer, they need it every day,” she said. The months have passed, but it hasn’t eased the pain and difficulty Grady’s passing has had on the family. “There really are no words,” Killam said, noting the strong support she’s received from family and friends. “It never occurred to us that Grady wouldn’t survive.” The family moved to Vancouver while Grady was in the hospital for treatment, which made it difficult for his older brother Dayton, who was just starting kindergarten.

This holiday season, reduce waste by disposing of your natural Christmas tree at one of the following chipping events:

Date: Sunday, January 4 Time: 8:00am - 5:00pm Location: Centennial Secondary School

The Friends of Mundy Park Heritage Society Date: Saturday, January 3 and Sunday, January 4 Time: 10:00am - 4:00pm Location: Mundy Park Gravel Lot (off Hillcrest Ave)

Scouts Francophones de Maillardville Date: Saturday, January 3 Time: 9:00am - 4:00pm Location: Canadian Tire (1200 Seguin Drive, off Lougheed near IKEA)

Trees must be tinsel and decoration free. Tree chipping is by donation to support community groups.

A tree honours the memory of Grady, who received more than 100 blood transfusions during his illness. Now back in Anmore, Killam and her family are getting ready for Christmas and organizing the upcoming clinics in memory of Grady. She has a message for people on the fence about rolling up their sleeves to give blood. “I’ve had people say to me they want to donate blood, but they’re afraid of the needle, they’re afraid it might hurt,” she said. “I really want people to know that the children who are getting treatment for cancer have needles twice a day for months.” There will be two clinics in Coquitlam: Sunday, Dec. 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Place Maillardville Community Centre, at 1200 Cartier Ave., and Thursday, Jan. 1 from 1 to 8 p.m. at Mundy Park Christian Fellowship, at 2600 Austin Ave. To book an appointment, call 1-888-2-donate or visit www.blood.ca. The family is also holding clinics in Vancouver and Kelowna.

Christmas trees can also be put in your Green Cart as long as the lid is completely closed and the tree is cut in 1m lengths and a maximum 10cm diameter. Whole or cut trees can also be dropped off at the Yard Trimmings Drop Off Facility – 995 United Boulevard. Remember to remove all tinsel, decorations, and stands.

The North Fraser Pretrial Centre in PoCo continues to be a violent place. That’s the assessment from the head of the union representing the province’s jail guards, following a government report on safety at B.C. correctional facilities. The report found the

number of assaults between inmates at the PoCo jail jumped to 279 in 2013, compared to 188 in 2009 — nearly a 50-per cent-increase in five years. The report also noted larger remand centres house more serious offenders and are more prone to gang activity. When it comes to assaults involving staff at the PoCo

for the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, challenged the numbers presented in the report. The government said there were a total of 211 assaults at all nine provincial jails over a five-year period up to 2013. However, Purdy said the union has been tracking the numbers, which are vastly different. In just three facilities, Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre and North Fraser Pretrial, the union said there have been 244 assaults on staff, with the bulk, 158, at the PoCo jail. The government report, released Thursday and written by MLA Laurie Throness, parliamentary secretary for corrections, makes a total of 20 recommendations to strengthen safety at B.C. jails. However, Purdy dismissed the majority of them. “There’s only a couple recommendations that are anything close to something that will be helpful,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. The two he suggested would be helpful are recommendations that ongoing structural safety improvements continue, and the capacity level of inmate units and the opening and closing of the units be adjusted accordingly to mitigate safety issues. Purdy also said the union is troubled it was informed the original recommendations by Throness were adjusted in the final report from June. He suggested the changes could indicate the original report had stronger recommendations. For now, Purdy said he’s hopeful conditions in provincial jails will improve, adding the union intends to meet with the minister to address issues missing from the report. The government report noted BC Corrections supervises a total of 24,672 people both in the community and in custody, making up 0.4 per cent of B.C.’s population. A WorkSafeBC inspection of North Fraser Pretrial in 2013 came up with nine orders to address some of the issues the union has been raising around safety for guards.

School District 43

‘The Hello Project’ aims to ease isolation

International Baccalaureate Programme INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS for parents of District Grade 8 students interested in applying for the 2015-2016 intake at Port Moody Secondary

REPRESENTATIVE TALKS TO COQUITLAM

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com David Beattie suggests the cost of living, the area’s transit crunch or the ever-increasing amount of gridlock pale in comparison to what he believes is Metro Vancouver’s biggest problem — we’re living in silos. In an effort to combat social isolation, Beattie spoke to Coquitlam council Monday to ask for the city’s support for an initiative called “The Hello Project.” While Beattie was short on the project’s specifics, the basic idea behind the campaign is to create a pin or some other generic signal worn on a person’s lapel to signal their participation in the project. From there a conversation could be struck up, or assistance offered to someone who may need it. The end result, he said, could feature endless possibilities or almost none at all. “Perhaps they’ll get married. Perhaps they never see each other again. The sky’s the limit,” he said. The larger group behind Beattie’s proposal is called the New Way Community Society, which he said is a “multi-partner coalition.” According to Beattie, the group managed a housing facility for special needs residents in Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood as recently as last year. And Beattie isn’t necessarily alone in suggesting the area can be a less-than-hospitable place. As the discussion ensued, Coun. Terry O’Neill referenced the work of noted U.K. travel writer Jan Morris, who was known for applying a “smile test” in cities she travelled to and wrote about. Morris used the smile test as a method to measure social interaction and a community’s pulse — her way of judging those factors was by gauging the number of people who would smile back at her. Upon applying the test on Vancouver’s Robson Street, she characterized the city as being “profoundly inhibited by shyness or self-doubt.” “If anybody smiles back instantly, instinctively, joyously, you can assume it’s a visiting American, an Albertan, or an immigrant not yet indoctrinated,” she wrote. While councillors were interested in the concept, Beattie’s presentation contained many holes: the amount of money he was requesting wasn’t clear, the logo that will be used to signal participation in the project hasn’t been created,

and there was no indication which, if any, language will be used to convey the project and its reach. Beattie has been before other councils recently — Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey — to outline the project and he intends to make a similar pitch to every city council in Metro Vancouver. One of the definitive points

he made was a $200,000 to $300,000 estimate that he hopes will be able to get the project off the ground. Outside of those figures, more information needs to be determined and Beattie said he will again present to Coquitlam council as details are firmed up. “Its implications are so vast, it’s difficult to predict how it will play out,” he said.

But don’t forget that some people right here in the TriCities won’t be as fortunate as the rest of us. There won’t be presents, there won’t be turkey and there won’t be much joy. One in five children in this community experiences poverty, and the need for food isn’t going away. Adding to the challenge, donations to the SHARE food bank are down this season compared to previous years. There are a little more than two weeks’ worth of food left on the shelves, when the food bank would normally have up to 12 weeks’ worth at this time of the year. While Christmas will be over in a matter of hours, the need and ability to give don’t have to end. The Tri-Cities NOW is directing donations to this year’s Caring for Tri-Cities Kids campaign to where SHARE needs them most: the food bank. But the campaign doesn’t end on Christmas Day. It runs all the way through Dec. 31. You can donate at a variety of ScotiaBank branches or police stations in the Tri-Cities, or online through our crowdfunding initiative, Fundaid.ca. To donate online, visit www.fundaid.ca/tricitieskids, or visit Fundaid.ca and search for “Caring for Tri-Cities Kids.” You can also drop by the food bank to make a food or cash donation in person. Your generosity will help ensure everyone gets to enjoy the holiday season — and the new year.

TWO-TIERED WATER RATE RILES HOME OWNER IN COQUITLAM I would like to join those who have written in protest of the two-tiered water rate. Frankly, I’m surprised that this has not generated more attention. The house I live in was built in 1959, and the majority of homes in most of Coquitlam have existed for decades. When new areas are developed, the cost of pipes should be borne by the developers who profit from them, not home owners in long-standing neighbourhoods, who have paid ever-increasing rates and taxes for many years. And I would like to see the study which shows that people living in condos and townhouses use half the water that people in single-family homes do (and to know who financed this “study”). Are we seriously supposed to believe that they bathe, do laundry and dishes, cook, etc. at half the rate of those in single-family homes? This simply is not credible, and I can think of any number of reasons why this conclusion might be skewed. I also strongly object to the manner in which this slid through council, right after the election. Very underhanded, to say the least. I truly hope that a fair and equal share of rates and costs will be considered.

Site C part of bigger plan

ritics of the B.C. Liberal government’s decision to greenlight the Site C dam project (and there are many reasons to be critical of it) are missing the key point in the whole debate. As much as the decision was about electrical power, it was also about political power. As in, how to keep it. The move to build Site C was entirely in keeping with the political strategy that lies at the heart of the Christy Clark-led government. As myself and others have noted a number of times, strengthening the economy and specifically the natural resources aspect of the economy are the basis of that strategy. This government’s priorities are not health care or social services or environmental protection. Instead, they are big economic items like the LNG industry, mining and other forms of resource development, and mega-projects like the Site C dam. The howls of outrage that can be heard from the environmental community over Site C are completely lost on the B.C. government and, in fact, may be more like music to its ears. The greater the wedge the government can create between environmentalists and pro-development folks, the better its chances for maintaining political power in this province. The B.C. Liberals know full well that the environmental activist lobby, while well-organized, well-funded and wellcovered by the media, actually represents a minority point of view among the voting public. An important point here is that the “voting public” is quite distinguishable from the general public. The voting public — the ones who determine who forms government in society — tend to be older voters, who are by nature more cautious and even more conservative

than younger ones. If the younger people at protest rallies against things like Site C or the Kinder Morgan pipeline actually turned out to vote in impressive numbers, that may change things. But until they do, all the chanting slogans in the world are going to matter little. This is not to say that actually building Site C is going to be an easy task. There are a half dozen court challenges already filed against the project, with the ones filed by First Nations bands potentially the most problematic. Although the bands in the Peace River area where Site C would be located are among the few that have treaties with the province, they also have constitutionally-protected rights when it comes to their traditional use of the land, including hunting and fishing activities. The joint review panel that awarded the environmental assessment of Site C also noted the dam poses a “significant adverse effect” on those traditional rights (covered under Section 35 of the Constitution). Depending on how a high court weighs the importance of that finding, the project’s future remains hazy at best. Of course, BC Hydro is also negotiating with those bands for some kind of monetary settlement so it remains entirely possible the objections of First Nations may yet be resolved. Nevertheless, the dam’s construc-

tion (at least its initial stages) could be delayed by the court challenges. Slated now to begin in July, there is every possibility the first shovel in the ground won’t occur until well past that. One of the unique construction challenges for the dam is the fact that diverting the Peace River around the construction site can only take place between August and September, so you can see the consequences of any major delay in scheduling. Still, even if the dam’s construction is put off a year (and presuming no court challenge ultimately succeeds) there will be work being done at the site by the time the 2017 election rolls around. And that means you can be sure Premier Christy Clark, wearing her trusty hard hat (the symbol of her past successful campaign) will visit the Site C dam construction site a number of times during that 2017 campaign. By that time, Site C (and perhaps an LNG plant, should one ever get approved in B.C.), will provide the perfect backdrop for her relentless campaign message: grow the economy, create jobs and reap the benefits. As they did in 2014, critics will mock her, citing all kinds of accurate statistics to rebuff her claims. But the B.C. Liberals learned in the last campaign that her message resonated with the people who actually vote, and they are betting that will be the case again when they have to ask for another mandate. Clark considers Site C and LNG her potential legacies. No amount of protest rallies are going to knock her off her mark. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

OPINION A WISH-LIST FOR SMALL BUSINESS IN B.C.

Dear Santa, In 2014, small business has continued to work really, really hard to support communities across British Columbia. We provide jobs for over a million people, representing 55 per cent of the private-sector employment in the province. We pay taxes to all levels of government — including sales taxes, income taxes, payroll taxes and property taxes. We do our best to abide by the plethora of rules coming from government too — although the sheer volume of rules to comply with can be very challenging — sales tax compliance, Statistics Canada surveys, records of employments, recycling rules, sign bylaws, business licensing, employment standards, income tax forms, payroll taxes, privacy policies, anti-spam legislation, and the list goes on. As you have taught us, it’s important to believe. And we have remained optimistic in the face of adversity and global uncertainty. In fact, B.C. businesses are currently the most optimistic in the country. Every

day, we serve and support our customers to justify their confidence and support. We greatly value our employees and we give as generously as we can to local causes, including supporting local sports teams and Christmas events in your honour. We hope you agree, Santa, that we have earned a spot on your nice list. In terms of presents, we’re not asking for much: 1) Our first wish is our most important — that our valued customers continue to support us. 2) In 2005, the B.C. government gave us a great gift when it agreed to respect any written tax advice, even if it is wrong. This is critical protection against an auditor telling us we owe a lot of money for following bad government advice (something that happened too often before). A few years ago, the Canada Revenue Agency started to follow B.C.’s lead when they agreed to respect advice given in writing through their “My Business Account.” This year, it would be great if CRA would extend their fairness as far as B.C. has and respect all written advice they give, including their tax bulletins. 3) Speaking of taxes, the return of the PST has been really chal-

lenging for many of us. If you could talk to somebody about giving further consideration to reducing the PST rate, or following the recommendation made by the Expert Panel on B.C.’s Business Tax Competitiveness and removing PST from machinery and equipment, that would help us improve productivity and keep prices down and wages up. 4) Santa, are the rumours of elf shortages true? We understand that they are starting to retire, and refilling jobs is challenging. We too, are struggling with labour shortages and have on our list a better Temporary Foreign Worker Program. We would like to change the program so it creates a pathway to permanent residency for people wanting to live and work in Canada because, like you, we don’t need temporary help, we need permanent help. 5) This last wish may be the hardest. We don’t know what kind of connections you might have, but could you see what you can do about putting a freeze on property tax increases for next year? This may not be an issue at the North Pole, but we are really struggling with the increasing cost of local government. Looking for stocking stuffers? Balanced budgets, provincial and

2014: A look back at the best, brightest STORIES INCLUDED TRIUMPH, TRAGEDY

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 claiming the B.C. crown and a berth to the Western Canada Cup championships. “I’ve never seen a team so resilient and persevere through so much,” remarked Fred Page Cup Game 4 scoring hero Adam Rockwood. “It’s definitely the most special group of guys I’ve ever played with — I can’t say enough. When we get down, in no way do we panic.” Led by two newcomers — Rosenthal and netminder Gordy Defiel — Coquitlam usurps the B.C. Hockey League’s top clubs on its way to the western championships. As a franchise, the Burnaby Express relocated from Coquitlam at the start of the 200506 season and returned in 2010. While in Burnaby, the Express won the Royal Bank Cup — the national junior championship title — in their first year after moving.

JUNE There aren’t many people who can legitimately say they took part in an event that changed the course of history.

But you can count John “Doc” Cumbers and George Thayer as members of that exclusive group. The two Coquitlam residents are D-Day veterans who take part in a memorial luncheon at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 263 Coquitlam to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Both men speak to the Tri-Cities NOW in advance of the event, and recall their roles on that fateful day. A naval engineer, Thayer was aboard a mid-sized landing craft charged with dropping off about 200 troops on the beaches of Normandy, France. Thayer remembers the vessel remaining relatively unscathed as the troops charged off the ship and onto Juno Beach. However, the boat shifted and listed after the mass exit, causing it to rock and sway almost uncontrollably. The motors were off, which further destabilized the craft, and the boat swung directly into a German explosive placed in the water near the landing zone. “When we touched that shell, it blew a fiveCONTINUED ON PAGE 14

and-a-half-foot hole in the mid-ship,” Thayer said. “In about 20 minutes, she was sitting sunk on the beach.” For Cumbers, his job was to provide safe passage to those like Thayer, who were in the landing crafts, ships and other vessels. Cumbers was a tail gunner with the Royal Canadian Air Force and was called into duty one day before the massive invasion on the French

coastal town. “We flew a mission the night of [June 5], because D-Day was supposed to be on the fifth,” he recalled. “So we bombed the rail yards and then we came back and they told us, ‘OK, you guys did your job, so take some time off and go to London.’ And that’s what I did.” Cumbers’ extensive career in the Armed Forces also saw him serve in the Royal Canadian Navy once the Second World War ended.

He then settled into a career as a firefighter in Vancouver before moving to Coquitlam in the late 1970s. Every year, June 6 offers him a chance to reflect. “It brings back memories,” said Cumbers, 88. “Our crew became a team and the team worked well together. We did our job. We got shot at and we shot at them. We dropped bombs on them. It was a different type of life for us.” — compiled by John Kurucz

We can make your dreams of a White Christmas come true. Dr. Myrna Pearce, Dr. Candace Woodman and Dr. Felix Wu

Shop safely online Shopping online during the holidays is convenient and easy, but it can also come with some risk. While it’s true that you don’t have to make your way on slippery roads, or stand in long lineups, it’s also true that sometimes you can land on sites that aren’t secure, or where your credit card information may land in the wrong hands. Cyber criminals see the holidays through a different lens and they often use this busy time of year to target people who might not be watching their cyber security. To help you stay clear of those who are bound to be on Santa’s “naughty” list, the federal government has posted some advice for safe online shopping at GetCyberSafe.ca. This includes tips to keep your identity, plus personal and financial information secure, as follows: • Look for a lock symbol on a website or “https://” at the beginning of the address (the “s” means “secure”), an indication that the site is encrypted and safer to use for online transactions. • Use only secure Wi-Fi to

Wednesday, Dec. 31 at Maple Creek Middle School, and the evening’s attractions kick off with a musical intro at 10 p.m. Naturally, the main event gets going at midnight on the dot. “It’s a blast to do, and it’s almost become habit,” Stratford said. “We’re the only show that we know of in the Lower Mainland, and we have people coming from all over to watch our show.” Now in its fifth year, the show grew exponentially last year — attendance shot up from the previous mark of 800 attendees to 2,000 revellers ringing in 2014. “It’s really fun. It’s a lot of work, but so many people like it,” Calder said.

“It’s a good feeling when 2,000 people plan their New Year’s around our show.” Both Stratford and Calder are licensed pyrotechnicians by trade, and have all the necessary know-how and safeguards in place to run a large show. But as the shows get bigger and better known, expectations rise. That’s no problem, says Stratford, who explained that a memorable fireworks show is almost like a good book or a movie. “It’s a combination of a bunch of things: the music, the crowd, the timing. Being bigger and better than we were the year before is also important,” he said. “The more stuff we can shoot off into the air, the

Westcoast Seniors

Want to stay sharp? Follow these tips

any people know that a combination of a healthy diet and routine exercise is the best way to maintain their physical health. But what about mental well-being? Memory lapses are often assumed to be an accepted side effect of aging, but such an assumption is incorrect, as there are many steps men and women can take to maintain their mental acuity well into their golden years. • Find time for cardiovascular exercise. Cardiovascular exercise can help men and women maintain healthy weights and reduce their risk for potentially deadly ailments like diabetes and heart disease. But cardiovascular exercise also can boost brain power. Cardiovascular exercise pumps oxygen-rich blood to the brain, and that blood contains glucose that can fuel brain cells. Cardiovascular exercise also strengthens blood vessels, which can help prevent potentially devastating diseases, such as stroke, that can have a lasting and negative impact on cognitive function. • Find time for friends and family. Many people need no reason to socialize, but those that do can now cite boosting brain function as a great reason to get together with family and friends. Routine socialization can keep a brain sharp by reducing its levels of cortisol, a potentially destructive hormone brought on by stress. Researchers also believe that rou-

tine interaction with other people stimulates structures in the brain’s frontal lobe that are likely responsible for planning, decision making and response control. • Squeeze in a nap every so often. Naps can have a re-energizing effect on men and women, but a study from German researchers also found that naps also can improve memory. In the study, researchers divided participants into three groups: people who would stay awake for 60 minutes; people who would sleep for six minutes; and people who would sleep for 30 to 45 minutes. After the hour was up, participants were given a word recall test, and those who slept performed better on the test than those who hadn’t. But the development that was perhaps most interesting was that those who slept for just six minutes performed just as well on the test as those who slept for far longer, leading researchers to suggest that men and women need not take long naps to improve their memories. • Include fish in your diet. A study from researchers at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center found that people who eat fish once per week have a 60-per-cent lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who do not include fish in their weekly diets. Researchers credit this lower risk to DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is found in both the brain and in fish such as salmon and tuna. — MetroCreative

We recently purchased a brand-new Fiat at Maple Ridge Fiat. We received exceptional service from Kim and Justin. The whole process of buying a new car was so much fun with Kim. She pulled thru on ﬁnding the exact model and color we wanted and had it for us the very next day. This dealership goes out of their way to provide service, but most of all they are honest and have integrity in which a lot of other dealerships lack. They made sure we were happy with our decision.

ue to a couple of revelations I have had with my food processor recently, I thought it would be appropriate to focus this column on kitchen gadgets and appliances that I find worthy. You may find these recommendations helpful. I usually opt for the manual alternative to kitchen prep — old-fashioned cutting by hand and elbow grease — but sometimes it is not always the best way. Recently, my wife wanted to make a dish from her childhood that basically consists of layers of thinly sliced potatoes, carrots and other vegetables. These ingredients, along with seasonings and chunks of sausage, are cooked together to create a single-pot casserole. When it came time to prepare this dish, the die-hard chef in me reached for my knife, readying myself for the task at hand. “Why don’t we use the slicer attachment on our food processor?” exclaimed my wife. After some convincing, I decided to give it a try and was quite impressed with the uniform slices and ease of preparation. To be honest it was the first time in the 15 years that I owned this food processor that I actually used the slicer attachment. I have also discovered (with subtle pressuring from my wife) that the regular blade of a food processor can also ease the preparation of finely chopping vegetables, as long as caution is used to prevent it from pureeing them into oblivion. A hand-powered kitchen appliance that I love is my all-in-one apple peeler, corer and slicer. A lip on the edge of one’s counter is not neces-

for example, makes for an appealing side dish. Although I do tend to be a bit stubborn when it comes to letting go of my knife skills for a gadget or appliance, the time saved in these circumstances is well worth the loss of chef’s pride.

sary as it simply suctions to the surface with amazing strength. A single apple is pressed onto the hand-crank and all of these tasks are completed with a number of circular revolutions — perfect to speed up pie/crumble making. And the best part is that I purchased mine in brand new condition at a second hand store for only five dollars. For small hand tool gadgets, there are a few that I simply cannot (or more correctly, would rather not) live without. Olive pitter — This tool resembles a pair of springloaded pliers. It has a circular base to hold an olive on one of the ends, and a prod on the other. When squeezed together, the prod inserts into the olive and pushes the pit through the opposite side. It works great on cherries too. Garlic press — I have gone through many poorly made garlic presses in the past, but there is one brand that has never let me down. I highly recommend the Switzerland made “Zyliss” brand. I have literally crushed thousands of cloves with this brand, for the past six years, without fail. Melon baller — Great for its intended purpose of creating bite-size balls of melon, but works just as well on cheeses and an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Caramelized balls of potato,

The stuff that dreams are made of

EPIC RUNS AND FANTASTIC FINISHES, THE YEAR IN SPORTS COVERED ALL THE BASES Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com From Olympic dreams to unexpected championships, the TriCities was where local athletes reached or began that journey. Getting from point ‘A’ to podium ‘G’ — as in gold — was the goal of many, young and old. While silver in Sochi or underdog provincial championship runs were not common, the toil, perseverance and dedication by members of our sporting community saw rewards of various kinds — and worth revisiting to celebrate as we prepare to change the calendar. Here are our choices as Top-4 stories of 2014:

or many observers, the Coquitlam Express’ unexpected run to the 2013-14 B.C. Hockey League championship was nothing short of miraculous. With a new coach who took over relatively late in the off-season recruiting season, the Express were decidedly mediocre through much of the regular season until the playoffs. That’s when Coquitlam, bearing the ninth-best record, shocked their higher ranked rivals — Prince George, regular season champion Langley, Victoria and Vernon — and rattled off eight straight come-from-behind wins to wrap up the incredible journey. The roster, which was weaved into a team by first-year head coach Barry Wolff, was led by New Jersey native Ryan Rosenthal — a 20-year-old forward who in the end earned an invite to the New Jersey Devils rookie camp. Others, such as Minnesotan Gordie Defiel, Montreal’s Marc Biega and Coquitlam’s Adam Rockwood would enjoy star moments; but this two-month long adventure required a full train-load of engineers, pulling together. When they celebrated that final victory over Vernon at the Poirier rink, the weary smiles said it all. While they would fall short of qualifying for the Royal Bank Cup, the Express had earned a special part in Coquitlam sports lore as underdogs who overcame the odds.

tough fit. That seemed to be the obstacle facing Coquitlam’s Kevin Reynolds as he reached for his dream — a spot at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Struggling to find a proper fitting skate boot, the three-time national silver medallist got comfortable enough to join the Canadian Olympic skating team in Sochi. There, the 23-year-old skater nailed three successful quadruple jumps to help Canada finish ahead of the U.S. and claim Olympic silver. His powerful performance came under a huge spotlight, as he stepped in to replace world champion Patric Chan and proceeded to register the second-best mark in the men’s free skate event. “Of course, it’s an Olympic Games, right? It’s probably the most pressure filled [competition], but also I guess the most memorable experiences I’ll ever have so I’ll take it all in,” Reynolds said prior to the Games. He was right on all fronts.

EXHALTED ICE: Coquitlam Express netminders Pierce Dushenko and Gordie Defiel, above, celebrate their Cinderella-like finish in the BC Hockey League championship final at the Poirier Sports Centre. Below, Coquitlam’s Kevin Reynolds stepped onto the Canadian Olympic skating team and collected a silver medal in Sochi. result at a Grand Prix competition in France, the duo were the picture of consistency on the Japanese ice. Edwards, of Port Moody, said the win represented something very special for the pair. “This was our first international gold so we’re just over-themoon excited,” Edwards, 18, said. “It’s really a nice way to cap the Grand Prix season, and to prepare us for the next stage.”

he Coquitlam junior Adanacs were feeling 10-feet tall after jumping out to a 2-0 series lead over the Six Nations Arrows in the Minto Cup championships in Langley in August. But the Ontario champs would play even bigger, winning the next four games to claim the national junior lacrosse trophy. Coquitlam, who for the first time in seven years entered the playoffs not as league champs, toppled New West to earn the B.C. berth to the national final. But after the opening two games of that vaunted series, the momentum stopped. “We emptied the tank, there were no shifts off,” said Coquitlam coach Neil Doddridge after the disappointing end. “That’s the way the game is, you’ve got the Tyler Paces, Wesley Bergs, Eli McLaughlins, the James Rahes, the Shafers of the world. Big hearts, big machines.”

QUOTES OF 2014 I’ve never been so relieved to score a goal, my heart was racing a thousand miles an hour. –Adam Rockwood Coquitlam Express Rockwood on the goal which would propel his team past the Vernon Vipers to complete a sweep in the BCHL championship final.

I think this is probably the best opportunity I’m going to get to do as good as I can at the Olympic Games. I want to take that moment and do the best I can. –Kevin Reynolds ﬁgure skater Reynolds prior to leaving for the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He’d return with a silver medal in team performance, after placing second overall in the men’s free skate.

I think we’re a lot better team than that, but when you lose like that who’s going to believe you? –Bob Salt Coquitlam Adanacs Salt was almost at a loss for words after the Adanacs’ chase of a Western Lacrosse Association playoff berth fell short in a season where they finished 7-11 and the secondworst record in the league.

A lot of things have to come together for a good day, and when it’s not a good day usually I feel shaky and nervous. –Robert Watson gymnast There were more excellent days for the Port Coquitlam gymnast in May, as Watson won the Canadian men’s senior gymnastic all-around title.
