Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com From $300,000 to more than $3 million — that’s the gulf that divides the cheapest and most expensive houses in the Tri-Cities. According to BC Assessment, the most expensive single-family home is in Belcarra, and is valued at $3.78 million. The home, on Senkler Road, is the fourth most expensive home in

BC Assessment’s North Fraser region, which includes Burnaby and New Westminster. In fact, Belcarra is home to the two most expensive properties in the TriCities, with another home on Coombe Lane valued at a cool $3.74 million. The village has 17 properties on BC Assessment’s top 100 list for the region. In Coquitlam, you’ll have to go to Poirier Street to find the most expensive home in the city, valued at $3.59

million. The home is seventh on the overall list for the region. The next Coquitlam home to appear on the list is located on Rockridge Lane and sits in 38th spot at $3.08 million. A home on Lancaster Court in Anmore sits in eighth spot at $3.58 million, and is the most expensive in the village.

Bulging, Herniated or Worn Discs may be to Blame for Sciatica, Pain and Numbness in Legs Bulged Disc

]

Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal...Without Drugs or Surgery Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by creating

“For me, taking this program has been a huge success. I have my normal life back. The best part of it is to be able to say… I remember when I had a herniated disc.” — Bridget

negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatment options available at Spinal Decompression Institute.

Many spinal conditions can be treated, including pain due to bulging and herniated discs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and much more. If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

Class IV Therapeutic Laser

Why The Spinal Decompression Institute?

The Spinal Decompression Institute employs a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is an outpatient, nonsurgical procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has shown results in returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.

Who is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression? With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back and neck pain at some point in their lives and those types of pain being the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that back and neck pain exists in epidemic proportions today.

The staff at the Spinal Decompression Institute has over 40 years of combined experience in treating patients suffering from back and neck problems. We offer a variety of treatment options for those dealing with back pain. We have helped thousands of people to live pain free!

jdeutsch@thenownews.com A father has a lot of explaining to do after crashing his car and being arrested for possibly being impaired, all with a fouryear-old inside the vehicle. The incident began in Burnaby around 2 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 2, after a motorist witnessed a car driving erratically and then crashing into a traffic barrier at Lougheed Highway and Production Way. The vehicle suffered extensive damage but kept driving. Police said the concerned motorist called 911 and followed the car all the way through Coquitlam to Como Lake Avenue and Mariner Way, where the driver was finally pulled over by Mounties. That’s when police discovered a four-year-old girl in the vehicle. Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt and was quickly returned to her mother’s care. RCMP Jamie Chung said police had reason to believe the man was impaired, so he was arrested and taken to the Burnaby detachment to be processed. No charges have been laid so far. Chung said it’s not often police come across a situation of a possible impaired driver with a young child in the car. “This is obviously very serious and a concern because not only are you risking your own life, but you’re risking the life of your child in the back of the car,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. “In this case it was very fortunate no one was hurt.” The man arrested is from Surrey, but he was not identified. Police also praised the motorist who called 911 and followed the car until RCMP could catch up. Chung said the motorist did the right thing by following the suspect vehicle at a safe distance. Police are also reminding the public about the Report Impaired Drivers program, or RID, which urges people to call 911 if they see a suspected drunk driver on the road. Motorists are allowed to use their cellphones to make a call to 911.

maintenance, the contractor needs to inspect and replace the cutter head tools. During this process, ground material can shift and create holes, the ministry spokesperson said, adding that’s why the area is fenced and monitored. The ministry noted that, as a precaution, that section of Cecile Drive would be closed during part of Tuesday to ensure the safety of the public while maintenance work on the tunnelboring machine continues. However, the ministry did not offer any information on whether residents could expect more sinkholes to appear as work continues with the boring machine. In late October, a deep sinkhole opened up in a parking lot of a building on Chateau Place in Port Moody, also attributed to the maintenance of the boring machine. But the second sinkhole has at least one Port Moody city councillor asking some questions. Coun. Rick Glumac said he trusts the people working on the Evergreen Line are taking care of the current situation, but he’s worried what might happen once construction crews are gone. “My concern would be that I would like to have some assurance that further sinkholes won’t develop once construction is completed and they’ve left,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. Glumac suggested the two incidents are also revealing a concern some residents had that the area is susceptible to sinkholes. The councillor said he intends to bring the issue up the next time construction officials meet with council. “It is concerning that this is happening and I hope that they can adjust their operation so it doesn’t happen any more,” Glumac said.

CITY OF P RT COQUITLAM

Road rules protect city workers, others

SLOW DOWN, MOVE OVER LAW IN EFFECT

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com Road crews in Coquitlam are reminding motorists to remember the new 70-40 rule that went into effect last week. Those numbers apply to changes made to the Motor Vehicle Act requiring all motorists to slow down to 40 km/h in areas with a speed limit under 80 km/h where vehicles displaying flashing lights are working. All of the roadways in Coquitlam serviced by city crews have a speed limit of 70 km/h or under — including stretches of Lougheed Highway. The new regulations also call on motorists to slow down to 70 km/h where the speed limit is 80 km/h or above.

“Anything we can do to lessen the risk to ourselves and to the public by giving space and slowing speeds down a little bit is an allaround positive change,” Dan Mooney, Coquitlam’s manager of roads and traffic operations said in an interview. The rules previously applied only to “official vehicles” flashing their lights: police, fire, ambulance, tow trucks, commercial vehicle safety enforcement vehicles, park rangers and conservation officers. Changes that went into effect on Jan. 1 include any vehicle displaying a flashing red, blue or yellow light: city works crews, highway maintenance workers, BCAA vehicles, utility workers, land surveyors, animal control workers and garbage collect-

ors, among others. Mooney said giving more room to works crews — where space permits — is as important, if not more so, than reducing speed. “At best, if you don’t move over, you spray them with a big rooster tail of water,” Mooney said. “But the reality is, you could hydroplane, lose control and end up striking them or their vehicle. In the case of city crews, there are numerous types of jobs that require the flashing lights, including clearing catch basins, plowing snow, fixing street lights, cleaning and replacing signage and patching pot holes. “I see this as being a really significant improvement for our crews’ safety and for the public,” Mooney said.

Make 2015 a safer year

he new year is often a time when we sit back and reflect on the year that was and come up with a few resolutions for the coming year — exercise more, floss more, spend less, eat healthier … For 2015, the helpful and ambitious Mounties at the Coquitlam RCMP have put together a list of five resolutions worthy of consideration for anyone in any community to add to their resolution lists: 1. Be a better driver. High-risk driving causes an average of 6,500 serious crashes each year in B.C. You are more than 23 times more likely to crash if you text while driving. If you can’t resist temptation, put your phone in the trunk to avoid distraction. Beyond smartphones, anything that takes your mind, eyes or hands off the road is a distraction and can potentially cause a crash. A yellow traffic light does not mean “speed up.” It means prepare to stop as long as it is safe to do so. Always leave a safe distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you. A “safe” distance depends on weather and road conditions, but the two-second rule works in good driving conditions. Speed is one of the most frequently cited contributing factors in police-reported crashes. A lot of time, effort and expertise goes into setting speed limits. All you have to do is follow them. Failing to signal increases your chance of causing a crash. 2. Volunteer. This one speaks for itself: volunteering makes a better community all around. 3. Be a better neighbour. See something suspicious or bothersome in your neighbourhood? Let the police know, for your neighbours’ sake. 4. Be a better digital citizen. Learn how to protect yourself and your kids in digital environments like Facebook, Twitter and others. 5. Be connected to your community. It’s an important way to help keep yourself, your neighbours and the whole community safer. Resolve to make the new year a safer one.

KUDOS TO CHRIS WILSON FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL OPERATION RED NOSE For the second year now, my husband and I volunteered to be part of a team as part of the Operation Red Nose campaign under the direction of Chris Wilson, leading organizer of KidSport for the Tri-Cities area. We are amazed at Chris’s energy and talent in bringing in excess of 100 volunteers to get partiers home safely and at the same time gather money to assist under-funded families in providing sports gear and group membership entries for our youth. The “Red Nosers” for the Tri-Cities were able to collect in excess of $5,000 in donations for their efforts, all of which goes directly to KidSport. As most of you know, Chris is a Coquitlam council member — obviously a special guy that “walks the talk.” Well done! Bev and Brian Harris Coquitlam

What’s in store for 2015?

f you’re like me, you are probably tired of reading or watching all those lists of the Top 10 news stories from the past year. Yes, yes, I know: the teachers’ labour dispute was a big story, but do we need to be told that again and again? Instead of looking back, let’s look forward and try to figure out which stories we’re all going to be talking about so much in the coming year. There will be unpredictable events, of course, that will garner a lot of headline coverage: major crimes, political controversies, spectacular accidents, cute animals that go missing (really), and the like. But some big events in the political arena are predictable and are sitting right there on the horizon, just waiting to take over the water cooler conversation. I can think of several separate, distinct events or issues that will get a lot of news coverage in the coming year, and all of them will have a direct impact on the lives of most British Columbians. Get ready to read and hear a lot about these in 2015:

1. The transit plebiscite in Metro Vancouver in March By the time you get your mail-in plebiscite ballot, you won’t be able to look at so much as a transit bus without thinking about expensive transportation projects and how they should be paid for. That’s because you are about to be inundated with all kinds of information (from stories in newspapers, radio and television, to pamphlets and advertising) expressing support for both sides of the plebiscite question. Those advocating the “yes” answer to whether the sales tax should be boosted

VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey

a half point will be just as aggressive — and loud, and non-stop — as those pushing the “no” response to the proposed tax hike. You won’t be able to turn on a television newscast, radio or open a newspaper without running smack into people like Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore (an ardent Yes advocate) and Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, making their pitches, over and over again.

2. The federal election in October

The federal vote may not be until the fall, but the campaign is now starting in earnest. The Conservatives have begun running new ads featuring Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and will continue to run ads that attack and mock federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau (and the federal government will continue to air ads praising its economic policies, with taxpayers footing the bill for them for much of the year). All parties are well into their riding nomination processes, and candidates should start filling those positions in increasingly large numbers in the weeks ahead. The three main party leaders will step up their travel schedules — look for all three to make more and more swings through B.C., which has six extra seats up for grabs this time around — as their pace will become frenetic.

The latest polls suggest Harper and the Conservatives are hanging on to their base, while the Liberals have made an impressive recovery with the voters, and the NDP has slipped back into its traditional territory of the distant third-place. But polls can be wrong, of course (hello the 2013 B.C. provincial election). Still, don’t count Harper out: his base, being older, is more likely to actually vote than those of his chief opponents.

3. Pipeline protests You didn’t seriously think these were over because the one on Burnaby Mountain ended? Come on, we’re just getting started here folks. A great divide is beginning to take hold, and it’s going to play out in B.C. like nowhere else in the country. That divide is over energy policies, as a vocal minority wants to end all oil shipments from Alberta’s vast oil sands project.

4. The Site C dam construction

BC Hydro says it is aiming to begin construction in July. But that seems optimistic at best, given how many legal challenges against the dam have been filed, with more on the way. All four of these issues are linked by the fact that all of them contain some element of political protesting, which is fitting, given that protesting is almost a British Columbian’s birthright. And you’re going to see a lot of it this year, whether it’s targeted at a transit tax hike, an oil pipeline, a federal political party or a hydroelectric dam. Welcome to 2015! Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

LETTERS CITY SHOULD TAKE A MORE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO WATER RATES

Re: “City changes water rate fees: single-family to pay more, multi-family to pay less,” Wednesday, Dec. 10. I do not claim to be an expert in these matters. However, my common sense tells me that a comparison of the use of water in condos as opposed to single-family dwellings is erroneous, unfair and definitely unscientific. One does not compare apples and oranges, or draw conclusions on the basis of some generalizations or alleged assumptions. I have lived on a cul-de-sac in Coquitlam for a lengthy period of time and I have yet to count the number of times other homeowners washed their cars. It is very rare, albeit there are on average two vehicles per property or more for some. During the hot weather, our lawns turned brown and only new growth was watered outside of the designated time. A lot of homeowners, includ-

ing myself, collect rain water and with the rainfall throughout the year, there is plenty for watering indoor and outdoor plants and lawns. My lawn is a combination of grass and moss, hence it retains moisture quite well. Only one property on our cul-de-sac has a sprinkler system installed. My son, on the other hand, lives in a condo and I am, at times, quite envious of the wellwatered and nicely trimmed green areas around the complex. This could not occur without appropriate and generous watering. I suspect that if energy is being monitored for homeowners or condo dwellers, then water supply could also be subject to such monitoring and payment would then be determined on the basis of the usage of individual citizens regardless of the number of occupants per condo or house. Perhaps, the city could also initiate projects and encourage citizens to collect rain water. It is not rocket science. I consider my neighbourhood to be reasonably conscious of the issues at stake and very protective of our planet. It would be rather silly of me to assume that every homeowner in Coquitlam thinks like we do and is consider-

ate of their rights and those of other people in the community. Therefore, more education endorsed by the city would be appropriate. Instead of accusing some homeowners of secondary suites, or watering their lawns outside of the designated times, or activating sprinkler systems during the rainy days, we should take a closer look at our own use of water before we put the blame on others. How often have you allowed the water to run while brushing your teeth? How long is your morning shower? Do you use your dishwasher or do you wash your dishes by hand letting the water run incessantly? I would suggest a more scientific approach to this entire problem before it becomes a problem. It is not the size of one’s home, be it a condo or a house, which determines how much water is being wasted daily, monthly or annually. It is entirely up to an individual citizen to keep track and use water in a smart manner to ensure that the reservoirs will not dry out for generations to come. Janina Furmanik Coquitlam

TRANSLINK IS MORE THAN JUST TRANSIT

EDITOR Leneen Robb

Re: “Poll question — Do you support an increase to the PST of 0.5% to fund transit?” According to your poll, quite a few people don’t want to pay that tax because they never use transit. Don’t they know that TransLink is not just buses and SkyTrain but also a couple of bridges and some roads? Do they like being stuck on a slow-moving freeway because we have a transit system that is much too small for a metropolitan area with 2.5 million people? I don’t have a car by choice but don’t mind paying for the freeways. I only had one minor surgery in my life, but don’t mind paying medical premiums (even though they are free in most provinces). I don’t have children but don’t mind paying for schools, teachers, etc. (never mind that one — your kids will eventually pay my pension). J-L Brussac Coquitlam

Coquitlam RCMP Sgt. Grant Wong rests up after donating blood on Monday. Canadian Blood Services set up a Bloodmobile in the Coquitlam RCMP detachment’s parking lot in support of local Mountie Const. Mike Murray, who was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. Dozens of appointments were booked for the day for RCMP, civilian staff of the RCMP and Coquitlam and PoCo firefighters. In his short time with the detachment, the RCMP noted, Murray has distinguished himself with an extraordinary commitment to volunteerism, including participating in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast and Coquitlam RCMP’s Junior Mountie Camp. Murray was also recognized with an RCMP OIC Award for Community Service in 2014. To learn more about donating blood, visit https://www.blood.ca/en.

Former PCT employee’s court case set for 2016 Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com A court case between Port Moody’s largest private employer and one of its former employees will go to trial in 2016. The trial for Kent Smith, a former employee of Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT) who is suing the company, is scheduled to start on Jan. 4, 2016. According to a notice of civil claim filed in BC Supreme Court last June, Smith is suing Pacific Coast Terminals after the company terminated his employment and cancelled a severance package it was offering. The allegations made in the notice of civil claim are unproven. Smith alleged he was manager of maintenance and engineering at the time of his dismissal in October 2013 and was terminated without just cause and without notice. When his employment was terminated, Smith alleged PCT offered him a severance of approximately $390,000 and career counselling in return for releasing all claims. But a few days later, according to the notice of civil claim, PCT “unilaterally and without reason” revoked the severance offer and notified Smith it was investigating him for misconduct. Smith stated in his claim that PCT never gave him any particulars of the misconduct but, a couple of months later, PCT alleged it had cause to terminate his employment by referencing material found on its system in personal folders over which Smith alleges he “had a reasonable expectation of privacy.” In a response to the suit, PCT has denied the allegations made in the civil claim. According to court documents, PCT said it terminated Smith due to him misleading the company’s senior management with respect to details and procedures regarding Port Metro Vancouver construction permitting requirements. Court documents also claim Smith stored sexually explicit images and videos on his work computer in breach of PCT’s technology policy, assisted a competitor with PCT’s confidential information and used his manage-

ment position to inappropriately assist a subordinate

employee with whom he had a romantic relationship.

The allegations made by Smith in the notice of civil

claim, and those made by PCT in the response, are

unproven. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

Operation Red Nose raises $32,940 for kids Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com It might have to change its name from Operation Red Nose to Operation Success. The service that drives you and your car home for a charitable donation has recorded another record year in the Tri-Cities. According to Operation Red Nose, the service provided 1,011 rides between the Tri-Cities, Burnaby and

New Westminster, compared to 936 the previous year, for an eight-per-cent increase in 2014. The dollar amount raised from the season-long program also increased to $32,940 from a 2013 total of $27,600. The service is a major fundraiser for KidSport Tri-Cities. The Tri-Cities chapter of Operation Red Nose is now the largest in Metro Vancouver and the third lar-

gest in B.C., behind Kamloops and Prince George. “I think there’s better awareness of the program, how it works and that the donations go to KidSport,” Operation Red Nose Tri-Cities coordinator Chris Wilson said in a statement. “The community has been very supportive of KidSport over the years so when they get a chance to support it, they’re pretty generous. We also provided rides for a

number of Christmas parties and many of the companies were very generous too.” He noted the donations will help about 150 kids play a season of sports their families would otherwise not be able to afford. Operation Red Nose, which operates during four weekends and on New Year’s Eve, uses a team of volunteers to drive a client and their car home, for a donation. Volunteers work in teams of

three, with two driving the client in the client’s vehicle and the third following behind in another vehicle. New Year’s Eve proved to be the busiest night for the campaign, with 180 rides in the area. “We’ve been very lucky to have been able to recruit so many volunteers specifically for new year’s over the last number of years,” Wilson said. “This year we had 59 people volunteer just for New

Year’s Eve. That’s pretty phenomenal and, in general, the volunteers have been absolutely amazing.” The service expanded in 2012 to include Burnaby and New Westminster, and a portion of donations goes toward KidSport organizations in those communities. In its first seven years of operation, the local chapter provided 3,290 rides, earning $95,833 for KidSport TriCities.

Ten steps to bettering your child’s health Physical activity makes us healthier, faster, stronger, more flexible, smarter and more. But when it comes to kids, it should be all about active play. The following tips are designed to help them enjoy as much active play as we did as kids. 1. Daily Routines: Help your kids build physical activity into their daily routines with activities like walking or cycling to school with friends. 2. It’s in the bag: Pack their backpacks with equipment that promotes active play at school recess and lunch breaks: a soccer ball, skipping rope, chalk, Frisbee, basketball, etc. Be sure to make sure the kids are dressed for winter play. 3. At lunch and after school: Encourage your kids to play

active games with friends and to join school teams. . 4. Swimming Lessons: Register for swimming lessons and stick with them until your kids are competent swimmers. Swimming is a life skill and making a splash at the local pool is a terrific way for kids to play. 5. Be a model: Be a role model for your child. Active parents tend to have more active children. Introduce your child to some of the activities you enjoy and participate in some of the active games and activities they enjoy too. 6. End of day play: Don’t let your child sit in front of the TV or computer after school. Instead, register them for active programs, have them invite a friend over for active outdoor play, or better yet, get active with them. 7. Evening, weekend and

holiday fun: Make evenings, weekends and holidays active. Plan your activities as a family, write them on the calendar, and anticipate the fun. 8. Limit screen time. Set rules and limit daily screen time or have your children earn it. For example, your child might earn 20 minutes of screen time for every hour they’re active. 9. Educate others about inactivity: Make sure your child’s daycare and school knows that physical activity is a priority for you and draw their attention to Canada’s physical inactivity crisis. Ask them what they’ll be doing to address inactivity. 10. Track it: Buy your child a pedometer to wear and encourage them to strive for at least 10,000 steps a day. You might also equip your child’s bicycle with an odom-

Consider hosting a kids-friendly dinner your best bet, as films that are between 90 and 120 minutes long can keep youngsters occupied for much of the night. Let kids watch their movies in a playroom that’s separate from where adult guests will be gathering prior to dinner, and periodically check in on the kids as the night progresses. Provide some snacks like popcorn or even some candy to create a night at the movies atmosphere for kids. • Remind kids to be gracious hosts. When choosing activities for kids, remind your own children that it’s their responsibility to be gracious hosts, even if that means playing games they aren’t interested in or watching movies they have already seen. Let youngsters know in advance that if they fulfill their responsibilities at hosts they can choose how to spend the following day or weekend. • Choose an adult entree that’s simple to prepare. No matter how well behaved kids may be before and during a dinner party, hosts should not add to their already considerable workload by preparing an especially complicated meal for their adult guests. Keep things simple, especially if you are preparing a separate meal for the kids. Much of

the stress of hosting a dinner party comes with preparing the meal, and that may only prove more stressful if you are preparing two meals while simultaneously catering to the needs of your youngest guests. • Consider hiring a babysitter. Sometimes hiring a babysitter makes sense even when mom and dad are home. A babysitter can look after the kids while the parents are elsewhere in the home enjoying a good meal and great company.

attending the party with their children can split the cost of a babysitter, even if he or she charges extra to look after several kids at once. Hosting a kid-friendly dinner party can make for a memorable night for parents and their children. Hosts can make the night even better by employing several strategies to make the party feel like a more traditional affair even if the kids are in the next room.

Including kids in your dinner party plans could entail separate menus and fun activities.

hildren do not often attend dinner parties. Adults with children typically leave the kids with a babysitter when attending a dinner party with colleagues or friends. But some hosts choose to make their dinner parties kid-friendly. This can make things easier on guests, who won’t have to go to the trouble or expense of hiring a babysitter for the night. It also can make things easier on hosts with children of their own and don’t want to add finding a sitter to their list of things to do in the days leading up to the party. Kids can add some life to a dinner party, but hosts may want to employ a few strategies to ensure their kid-friendly dinner parties are enjoyable for adults and children alike. • Feed the kids first. Kids can’t ignore their appetites as long as their adult counterparts, so make sure dinner for the kids is served once all of them have arrived. Choose kid-friendly fare like pizza or macaroni and cheese so kids are more likely to eat and not complain of hunger later in the evening. Feeding the kids first also makes it easier for adults to enjoy uninterrupted conversation when it’s their turn to sit down and eat. • Keep the kids entertained. Whether it’s a movie, a board game or another distraction, finding something to keep the kids entertained throughout the night should be a priority for hosts. A selection of movies that kids can choose from might be

Ravens eager for Beagle battle

POCO TOURNAMENT TO HIGHLIGHT DEPTH OF B.C.’S TOP TEAMS

Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com The take-away from a basketball trip to Hawaii isn’t measured in tans and big waves. Both the Terry Fox Ravens and Heritage Woods Kodiaks are aiming to use last month’s holidays as a tangible turning point for great things as the B.C. senior AAAA boys basketball season kicks into a higher gear. And there’s no better place to show that lesson than at this week’s Legal Beagle Invitational at Terry Fox. The Ravens, ranked fifth in pre-holiday provincial poll, want nothing more than to extend their stamp to their host tourney. Co-coach Steve Hanson said the team’s strong results at a Oahu tournament, coupled with a 79-69 victory over No. 3-rated Walnut Grove on the weekend, are great signs. “We went 3-1 in Hawaii and took it as a great team experience,” he noted. “[Against Walnut Grove], we’ve played them in the first game of the new year for a few years now and the last couple of years we lost those games... Our boys came in pretty amped up and played well.” Led by Grade 12 shooting guard Liam Hancock’s 37 points, the Port Coquitlam crew looked refreshed and recharged after the holidays. They’ll need to be as the lineup this week is fierce, says Hanson. Prior to the holidays, the Ravens suffered a rare setback, falling 101-93 to No. 2 ranked Oak Bay. The Kodiaks, meanwhile, battled hard but fell 64-57 to Holy Cross in their first test of 2015. Hoop fans are in for a treat beginning Thursday when a number of the best teams in B.C. hit the Fox gym to measure their skills against each other. The Legal Beagle Invitational has traditionally attracted a good assortment of powerhouse programs, and this year is no different. All nine B.C. teams were in the most recent B.C. AAAA poll, including No. 1 Burnaby South, Walnut Grove, fourth-rated Vancouver College and No. 7 Kelowna. The lone outlier is Edmonton’s Harry Ainlay, who are considered among the top-three in their province. Heritage Woods, who hold down the No. 10 spot, begin Thursday’s preceedings, 3:15 p.m. against Van College, followed by Fox’s showdown with honourable mention Cowichan at 5 p.m. The final two games on opening day pit Walnut Grove against Kelowna at 6:45 p.m., and Ainlay

SPORTS SHORTS CAMPBELL SCORES FOR UMASS

To no one’s surprise, Port Coquitlam’s Evan Campbell is enjoying his sophomore season at UMass-Lowell. The second-year forward with the NCAA Div. I River Hawks played a big role in that club’s championship run at the allHockey East Mariucci Classic last week, where No. 7-ranked UMass disposed of rival Merrimack 3-1 in the final. Campbell’s sixth marker of the season capped a comeback that saw the Hawks take the lead with just 3:49 left to play. A day earlier, the Edmonton Oilers 2013 fifth round draft pick set the tone by posting a goal and two assists in the team’s 7-3 victory over RIT. As a rookie, the Terry Fox alumnus netted nine goals and two assists over 34 games. This season, Campbell has six goals and 11 assists, second in team scoring, over 18 games and has been twice named the River Hawks player of the week. Campbell played two seasons with the Langley Rivermen of

able mention Tamanawis at 11:45 a.m. The semifinals are slated for 6:45 and 8:30 p.m. on Friday, with a championship final on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

SECOND PLACE FOR DANIELS

The bright lights and pressure situation caught the Daniels rink off guard in the Tim Hortons B.C. Junior Women’s curling championships last week in Parksville. The Delta-based rink, which includes Anmore’s Dezaray Hawes, placed second after an 8-2 loss to Kamloops’ Brown rink. In their first year together and coming from three different clubs, the Daniels team were up against a squad that for the most part had been together for the past nine years. After staking out a perfect 7-0 run through the round-robin portion of the tourney, the loss stung all the more, said Hawes, 17. “We were all playing very well and beat them in [roundrobin play],” noted the team’s second. “In the final we just weren’t at our best.” The Coquitlam Curling Club’s Egan rink, meanwhile, hit some rough ice early in the competition en route to a 1-6 record. The squad, skippered by Briana Egan, posted its lone win in dramatic fashion, overturning a 5-2 deficit after six ends to

Tai gives Express an edge

Shaking off a bad result with a good effort is the kind of resolution Chris Tai can get behind. The Coquitlam Express netminder was front-and-centre Saturday as the defending B.C. Hockey League champs ventured into Langley and skated off with a 4-3 victory. Tai, a 19-year-old North Delta native, was sharp in turning back 36 shots. It helped erase the taste of a 6-1 setback to the same Rivermen a day earlier. The motivation on Saturday was clear, remarked the netminder. “Definitely revenge,” Tai said with a grin. “There’s no way I’d come in against a team that I lost 6-1, played bad against [and] see a repeat. I think everyone wanted to win.” It was also the final junior game for veteran Cody Boyd — who due to NCAA rules is unable to play past his 21st birthday. It was the club’s fourth win in five games, as they have posted an 11-7-12 record over the past two months. In many of those wins, Tai and winger Corey Mackin played key roles. Mackin, who leads the BCHL in scoring with 37 goals in 38 games, would net what would prove to be the game winner Saturday on a shorthanded breakaway with 2:10 left. Langley, who trailed by two goals most of the night, would close the gap with 57 seconds left, creating a little more drama than necessary. “Langley’s dangerous at any time and they have the weapons to tie it up in a hurry,” remarked Coquitlam coach Barry Wolff. “When they scored it was like, ‘Oh my, there’s 57 seconds left.’ But we battled through it and held on.” Rookie Brett Supinski, who sits second overall in league scoring, would tally once and set up two others, while Brendan Lamont and Owen Stout also scored. Coquitlam visits Penticton tonight, with the league-leading Vees coming to the Poirier Sports Centre, 7 p.m. on Friday. The Express wrap up a four-game week with road games in Nanaimo and Victoria on Saturday and Sunday.

RAPIDS BEGIN 2015 WITH A WIN

The Riverside Rapids continue to round into form — a form that sees them atop the provincial rankings after six weeks of senior girls basketball action. The Rapids knocked off the Maple Ridge Ramblers 65-38 to begin 2015 on familiar footing, thanks to a well-balanced offence. Grade 10 guard Shae Sanchez, who already has two seasons of AAA competition on her resume, led the charge with 11 points, including three treys. A trio of shooters — Ozi Nwabuko, Talia Tvergyak and senior Zuzia Zdziechowski — contributed 10 points apiece. Nwabuko would also rack up 10 rebounds. Chipping in nine points, all from three-point range, was Stephanie West. The Rapids ended 2014 with a strong showing at their own A Tournament for Emily, which saw them suffer their first loss of the season. After posting 13 straight wins, including victories over thenNo. 1 Oak Bay, Brookswood and Fleetwood Park, they came up just short in a 57-56 setback to Fraser Valley rival W.J. Mouat in
