What’s next for United project? John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com TransLink says it’s a dead issue for now, New West says more co-operation is needed and Coquitlam is asking for provincial intervention. That’s the current status of the United Boulevard extension project, one that has repeatedly failed to gain widespread community support in the Royal City while at the same time risking the loss of a major federal infusion of cash. Intended to ease longstanding traffic congestion concerns around Braid Street, Brunette Avenue and United Boulevard, the project needed the OK from community residents in both Coquitlam and New West to proceed. After a series of community consultations in New West failed to identify a best-case scenario, TransLink issued a news release suggesting “there is no project option that currently meets the needs of both the regional road network and local interests.” That finding is of particular importance to the City of Coquitlam, which is waiting on a $65-million grant from the federal government to help finance the project. In the absence of community support in New West, that funding source could dry up. “It’s potentially discouraging, but I’m a glass-ishalf-full type of guy,” said Mayor Richard Stewart. “But I believe that everyone’s interests can be managed and that the issues around this can be resolved.” That lack of middle ground, coupled with the  CONT.

Evergreen Line held up until 2015

Transportation minister reveals in committee that four-year build behind schedule Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com The Evergreen Line’s completion date could be derailed by at least another year while funding concerns are ironed out. At a committee debate Monday, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said municipal mayors must find a way to fund $400 million of the $1.4-billion project. “The provincial money is there. The federal money is there. There was a commitment from the mayors’ council for $400 million that’s not there yet. So the ball is really in their court,” Lekstrom said, according to May 30 Hansard transcripts. “I believe I said this the last time. Being the optimist that I am, I’m hopeful that we’ll get a resolve and a solution to it very quickly in the coming

weeks, I’d like to say, and if not weeks, a very few months. We’ll move forward, and the people will see this project in the ground and completed. “Certainly, it’s about a four-year build, so if things work very quickly, in late 2015, I would like to think that this line would be fully operational and operating for the public.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper and former premier Gordon Campbell announced federal and provincial funding for the project in February 2009. At that time, both levels of government jointly issued a press release stating that construction was expected to start in 2010 and be completed by 2014. In an interview with The NOW Thursday, Lekstrom said the province has already signed a memorandum of understanding with the mayors’ council regarding their $400-million commitment to the project. “We’re really waiting now for the mayors’ coun-

cil to come forward, and that’s really the position we’re at,” Lekstrom said. “But I don’t see that as a negative. I know they’re working hard and I’m very confident and optimistic that we’re going to find a solution that will allow the mayors’ council to make the decisions they need to make to raise the funds that they have committed to.” The delayed start date is not a certainty, he added. “It’s a maybe. Every day that goes by that the mayors’ council has not come forward with a solution that we can work together to solve on this, it potentially delays this project,” Lekstrom said. “But again, it’s a pretty significant build-out time on this. It’s pretty clear the public want this to happen. But I don’t want to leave any impression that nothing’s going on. There’s a lot of work going on right now on the project behind the scenes and the  CONTINUED ON PAGE 3, see PAY FOR.

work that the mayors’ council is doing. I’m looking forward to finding a solution with them very quickly on this.” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart agrees that the onus is on the mayors. “It is our fault,” Stewart said. “The ball’s in our court. It’s been in our court for months. It’s been in our court for five years.” However, Stewart said he does not want to see the funding come from property taxes. Instead, he would prefer to see levies on new developments near SkyTrain stations, since they will be able to save money in parking requirements. “The ideal funding mechanism would be to take the land around those stations … and park a bunch of density around them. Use the land lift on the density to fund the station,” he said. “It’s done everywhere else in the world. We don’t do it here, but it’s the kind of tool that jurisdictions around the world have used successfully to fund rapid transit.” Funds could also be found through fuel tax or carbon tax, he added. “Every community in the world has wrestled with this and so I’m not suggesting we be innovative.

potential loss of $65 million, led to Stewart writing a letter to Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Blair Lekstrom asking the province to “ensure that this long-standing bottleneck … is removed” on May 24. The tone of that letter led to New Westminster Coun. Jonathan Cote suggesting that Coquitlam is trying to invoke the Significant Project Streamlining Act, which allows provincial intervention over and above the ruling of a local municipality. Not so, says Stewart. “I’m not suggesting that the province needs to circumvent anything. We want the province to be aware that British Columbia may lose $65 million.” Coun. Brent Asmundson said new federal grant regulations could take that funding offer off the table. “The federal government may still hold it, but they can now take that money and redistribute it anywhere else in Canada,” he said. “That’s not chump change. To try and re-apply and get money could be a huge problem also.” As for TransLink, the regional authority has asked Coquitlam and New West

to try and hammer out the details and come back to the table with TransLink at a later date. • For the full story, visit www.thenownews.com.

You & The Law CONCUSSION AND POSTCONCUSSION SYNDROME

It was big news when NHL superstar Sidney Crosby – whose over-time goal scored hockey gold for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics – recently suffered a concussion in a hockey game. Though prominent, he is just one of several high-proﬁle sports ﬁgures to suffer serious consequences following a head injury – “mild traumatic brain injury” (MTBI) – that is often poorly understood.

For instance, there need not be a physical injury or blow to the head – a concussion can be brought about by severe or abrupt jarring or shaking of the head, e.g., the head snapping or whipping back or sideways. Also, the victim need not black out or lose consciousness, and may initially feel and seem okay, even to ﬁrstresponders at the scene or in the emergency room.

But one beneﬁt from Crosby’s misfortune is that it has led to media and Internet discussion of the potential consequences of a concussion (sometimes called “post-concussion syndrome”), which has helped clear up some misconceptions.

Notice of Change of Meeting

604.942.8880

But the consequences of a concussion can be severe and sometimes long-lasting or even permanent. And the effects of several concussions are cumulative, so it’s critical to allow enough time for full recovery. One little known fact is that most cases of concussion or MTBI occur not in the sports arena but in motor vehicle accidents. The Courts in B.C. accept the best current medical views of concussion and postconcussion syndrome, if proved by credible evidence. But they are on guard against exaggerated or fake claims. And the defendant in a lawsuit (ICBC in car collision cases) will often try to show exaggeration or fakery. Take the 2010 B.C. Supreme Court case involving Mr. M, a 37-year old operations and ﬂeet-manager of a trucking business. He was a passenger in a vehicle struck on the side where he sat. The other driver was fully at fault. The damage to both cars was relatively minor, but the impact caused Mr M. to be pushed into the corner (he was wearing his seatbelt) and his head

and neck to be pinched and angled in an awkward position. He felt sick and dizzy, the pain in his head was excruciating and his back and neck hurt, and he was taken to hospital. Before the accident, Mr. M had been energetic, great at multi-tasking and routinely put in long hours at work. He had an easy-going manner, was socially engaged and enjoyed an active outdoor-oriented lifestyle. All this changed dramatically in the years after the car accident. He suffered severe headaches, different from the sinus-type headaches he experienced before. He had problems with his vision, concentration, shortterm memory and balance. He could mostly only work for a few hours at a time, and often he would have to stop work and go to a quiet, dark room to rest. As to his personality, he became abrupt, short-tempered and aggressive. In short, the accident caused him serious and permanent injuries, in the form of MTBI, affecting his ability to work and most other aspects of his life. The Court dismissed as unhelpful video-tape evidence introduced by ICBC to suggest that Mr. M exaggerated his problems. It accepted medical evidence that he suffered from the consequences of the concussion endured in the car accident. This was not disproved simply because hospital emergency room staff noted no confusion or loss of consciousness. He was awarded $110,000 for pain and suffering and $650,000 for loss of future earning capacity.

Coquitlam seeks Fox Run co-ordinator Dan Olson dolson@thenownews.com They’ve got the will and the way. Now, all the Coquitlam edition of the Terry Fox Run needs is a volunteer organizer — otherwise, what proved to be a whirlwind success in its inaugural run in Coquitlam last year will prove to be a one-off. The event, which hits streets all around the world on Sunday, Sept. 18, has raised more than $500 million worldwide towards the fight against cancer. “It’s really important to continue (the run in Coquitlam),” noted Donna White, provincial director for B.C. and Yukon of the Terry Fox Foundation. “It’s all about the volunteers who have taken up Terry’s torch and kept the dream alive. There’s a lot of infrastructure in place, and people for a committee in place. … It’s important that we find an organizer to keep it going.” Last year’s organizer said the first Terry Fox Run in Coquitlam was a great success, despite getting out of the gate late. “By the time we got the OK from the mayor, it was already

organizer. White said that someone has stepped forward and showed interest in filling the organizer’s position. If that person signs on, they will still require more volunteers to make it work, White said. “The fact is that if Terry were alive today, instead of being given a 30-per-cent chance to live, he would be looking at a 90-per-cent survival rate, and what’s wonderful about his legacy is that it’s not just about the type of cancer Terry had, or cancers affecting youth or men or women. The foundation funds research in to all kinds of cancers, believing as Terry did, that we need to conquer this disease once and for all for everybody,” White, a cancer survivor, said.

James Moore claims Canucks as Canada’s team Derek Abma editorial@thenownews.com Heritage Minister James Moore emerged from a Conservative caucus meeting Wednesday to declare the Vancouver Canucks “Canada’s team” as it battles the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup final. Speaking before reporters with other members of the Tories’ British Columbia caucus — with Moore and most others wearing Canucks jerseys — he said: “We’re all here, obviously, as government members of Parliament from British Columbia. We’re obviously very proud that the Canucks are Canada’s team in these Stanley Cup finals.”

Shouts of “here, here” came from Moore’s colleagues as he said this. Beyond being supported by Tory MPs from B.C., Moore said the Canucks are being cheered on by all members of the House of Commons, the Senate, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the country, for the most part. “We join with all Canadians in supporting the Canucks,” he said. When one reporter asked him about there being more Canadians on the Bruins than on the Canucks, Moore asserted that there are 17 players on each team’s roster that are Canadian-born. “This is Canada’s team in the playoffs and they’re going to win the cup.” Moore’s comments reflected that now is a

good time to be a Canucks fan, a Canadian hockey enthusiast and a Conservative. “I said this the other day to my dad: if you told me three months ago that the Conservatives would get a majority govern-

ment, the Winnipeg Jets would be back in Canada and the Canucks could win the Stanley Cup, I would say you were crazy, but here were are,” he said. — Postmedia News

SHARE seeks school partners Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com SHARE Family and Community Services is looking to bolster its partnership with School District 43. SHARE board chair John Wolff told trustees at a recent meeting that the non-profit needs to become more sustainable in the future. SHARE must focus on finding its own facility rather than finding places to rent, he added. “Schools are great social and community facilities,” Wolff said.

“I know there’s a long, long list of challenges in terms of partnering up and using those facilities for other uses, but I think if we sat down and jointly started talking about that and moving forward in terms of engaging other parties to help us with that, I think there’s tremendous opportunity. That’s just one example.” Partnership opportunities with District 43 could include extending childhood development services and helping students with social responsibility. Another idea is for shop programs to build carts

for the food bank. “We need to start doing things differently if we’re going to maintain a robust organization and deliver services,” Wolff said. School District 43 board chair Melissa Hyndes lauded SHARE for its community contributions. “You’ve been a wonderful organization helping many families in the Tri-Cities communities and a very valued partner as well,” Hyndes said. “We look forward to seeing you and partnering with you and sharing our services with you as well in the future.”

Opinion

Range of voices needed Why are Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney afraid of local voices? The B.C. government has announced it will hold HST public dialogues featuring speakers from the No and the Yes sides in 10 different communities across the province. It is clear that the intent was to have local participation from both To The sides so that attendees would have access to information that is relevant to them and their communities. The Smart Tax Alliance wants local participants to provide information and raise awareness of the job-creating and job-protecting benefits of the HST. While we applaud the government for holding these dialogues, we believe they should have gone a step further and required both sides of the debate to actually provide local speakers from these communities.

Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney vigorously opposed this request. Vander Zalm and Delaney should participate in these dialogues to defend their position. They should simply participate in their own region and let others participate in theirs. Why should taxpayers foot the bill for their road show? Editor The public deserves to hear from real, local voices from both sides to truly understand how the HST impacts their community and the people who live and work there. People are tired of hearing the same old rhetoric and spin on the HST. Let’s open up this discussion to other voices. What are they afraid of? Woody Hayes FCA spokesperson Smart Tax Alliance Duncan

Our View

Get on with Evergreen, now

ear politicians, Yes, you. No, we don’t mean the other one. You know, the one you like to blame when it’s convenient — when things aren’t going your way and you’re looking for an escape. We’re talking to the politician you see when you look into the mirror — regardless of whether you represent a city, region or riding. More than ever before, we need you to listen. Carefully. Right now. We’ve had enough. Stop blaming others about the lack of Evergreen Line funding. We don’t care if you work on the municipal, provincial, regional or federal level. We couldn’t give two figs who you are pointing the finger at. That we’ve gotten this far without shovels in the ground illustrates an epic lack of political will on the part of each and every one of you. This is a collective failure. All of you deserve egg on your faces. Even the thickest parent would recognize this behaviour as unacceptable among children. So why do you feel it’s fair game in the political arena? When children bicker in such a way, parents inevitably step in, take the toy away and call a group timeout to cease the fighting. We, however, are unable take the toy away. We have been left to watch from the sidelines, and the scene is just plain ugly. It has become utter nonsense — and you know it. So what are you going to do about it? Sincerely, Tri-Cities Taxpayers

stickers denoting the top course marks and plaques and trophies continue to etch out crucial slices of identity for a handful of students. As with any community, my so-called peers turned out to not only remain on top of their own grades, but those of their competition as well. This led to a rather blunt, vocal reality-check for some of their fellow over-achievers’ successes. In retrospect, of course, the majority of honourees maintained levels of humility and gratitude. Likewise, the few who spewed cynicism only did so to an extent and were admittedly entertaining during the stretch of a too-long ceremony. Naturally, many still see nothing strange about these practices. In fact, even a number of teachers feel that our current system isn’t elite enough, believing that fewer students should receive public recognition. Thinking about it, however, I wonder if these specific individuals would have made their own cut had their abilities been on the line. In the end, this tried experience simply demonstrated the result of gifting excellence: ego, status and competition corrupting outwardly rational people and seemingly sound institutions. But I suppose that’s no surprise.

HST: let the referendum debate begin S

ometimes I wish I could just leave well enough alone — check yay or nay on a ballot, and be done with it. But no, with the referendum coming up, I ended up Simone Blais geeking out on the nuances of the harmonized sales tax (HST). I’ve gone through definitions of value-added and progressive taxes. I took a boo at the financial breakdowns. I wasted what was seemingly hours trying to decipher the lists of tax inclusions, exemptions and rebates. Maybe I’m just in desperate need of a hobby. But here’s the thing: there’s a big question I can’t seem to wrap my head around. If not the HST, then what? We don’t want to think about economic times in which the HST was introduced. But it was spring 2009, about six months after the financial markets took a swan dive, and each level of government was pulling up the proverbial couch cushions in search of any spare change they could find. Things are a bit better today, but the outlook is still cloudy. International events are making financial analysts twitchy, and the employment market is still tight. Fewer jobs mean less income tax revenue coming in, and without steady incomes, timid consumers tend to snap their wallets shut.

My View

The provincial and federal governments need to shore up those accounts, and HST brings in a whack of money — despite claims that the tax is revenue neutral. Then there’s that pesky issue of federal money. The Canadian government gave B.C. $1.6 billion in “transitional funding” to B.C. That sum is nothing to sneeze at — and doesn’t even include the $30 million the feds agreed to take off B.C.’s shoulders in administration costs. I might be out to lunch here, but if there’s no HST to administer, I don’t see the federal government obliging to pick up that $30-million tab. That sounds like paying a maid to neglect the dishes. So if HST gets trounced by voters, it looks to me as though B.C. will have less funds streaming into the coffers. The ballot question

asks whether we’re in favour of extinguishing the HST and reinstating the PST and GST. But if the HST is saving administrative costs and generating revenue over the previous system, doesn’t switching back mean less money for B.C.? So the question I’m left with is: what then? Spending cuts? Income tax increases? If we have to make a decision, shouldn’t we know all the ramifications? There hasn’t been a whole heck of a lot of discussion on that. Silence can speak volumes, and the distinct lack of information on this lingering question is interesting — even on the government’s website that purports to offer unbiased information to help people make up their minds. So this is a public invitation for the premier to tell us what the full game plan is if the HST is shot down. The NOW is also inviting readers to take part in the discussion. We’ve posted a host of opinion pieces and voices for and against the HST in the Opinion section of our website: www.thenownews.com. In the weeks ahead, we’ll publish a balanced selection to offer our print readers some insights into the issue, too. We also encourage everyday readers to take part as well. We welcome your letters, suggestions, opinions and decisions — because they in turn can help answer those outstanding questions.

This week’s question:

Do you think Evergreen Line funding will be sorted out in time? • Of course it will. • I’m optimistic something will happen. • Impossible to tell. • We’re years away from construction. • The funds will never come.

I slowly moved back to the safety of my car and waited. A short time later dispatch advised the bear was last seen moving off into the thickets away from human population. Later, I spoke with a friend of mine who is an avid hunter and he said that I did the prudent thing. I did not agitate the bear, and I allowed it to move on into its habitat. Unfortunately with all the homes infringing upon wildlife territory, these types of encounter with bears and other wildlife are becoming more frequent. Bear season is coming upon us, and I urge individuals to bear-proof their garbage and look around their homes to make sure that there is nothing to entice bears to come into their yard. The bears need to be protected, too. • Const. Bill Kim is the media and community liaison with the Port Moody Police Department.

It had now been approximately 25 minutes or so since the initial bear call and I was yet to see the bear. I parked my patrol car on the side of the road to get my bearings and review any updated calls. As I looked up from my computer monitor, I saw the bear. It must be approximately 300 pounds and it slowly crosses the bow of my car. The bear stopped and looked straight at me. It seemed neither afraid nor intimidated. I blasted my siren and horn without success. The bear then turned away and slowly sauntered off into a homeowner’s backyard. Before disappearing into the backyard, the bear looked back as if to taunt me, daring me to follow. I notified dispatch, parking my cruiser as close to the backyard as possible with all lights on. I exited the vehicle and started walking to the hedge grove — then I stopped. My gut feeling was telling me this is not safe.

Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com If you want your photo snapped for these splashy portraits, then take a deep breath, smile and submerge. Former scuba instructor Lisa Graham dove into a new career that specializes in underwater photography for water lovers aged three months to 90 years. Based out of Comox on Vancouver Island, Graham travels to swimming pools in different communities to offer her aquatic art. As part of

the package, she coaches her clients on how to sink without puffing out their cheeks or blowing too many bubbles. “We just go in chest-deep water, so it’s not difficult,” said Graham, owner of Seadance Photography. “I work at their pace. If they can only hold their breath for three seconds, then I go down and wait. They swim by and then I click.” Graham’s camera, a Nikon D200, is housed in a waterproof Plexiglas box and is rated to 60 metres for diving. “Kids love to ham it up for the camera. This camera’s obviously very big. The dome on the

front is eight inches across, so it looks like a one-eyed monster,” Graham said. “Then I have two strobes that I bring as well. They’re on arms, so they kind of stick out to the side. It’s a really funny-looking contraption.” For the shoots, Graham’s clients don clothes that range from bathing suits to formal frocks. “Because it’s new, they start brainstorming, like ‘I have a wedding dress I want to put in the water. How do you think that will look?’ Then we talk about that,” Graham said. “I have a shoot coming up and we’re doing a geisha. She said, ‘I have this beautiful silk kimono I’ve always wanted to do something with, so let’s try that.’ “I did a family shoot with three kids. The little boy was wearing a tux with a little red bow-tie and his three sisters were wearing dresses. In another shoot, a little girl had on a ladybug costume. It’s a mix.” Graham is currently booking appointments at Coquitlam’s Chimo Pool from June 10 to 12. One-hour sessions usually cost $250, which includes a DVD with six images. However, discounts may be available based on the number of people who sign up for a session. For information, visit www.seadance.ca, call 250-941-7774 or e-mail lisa@seadance.ca.

Road hockey tournament jump-starts summer

oad-hockey devotees resigned to watching the game indoors while the rain pelts down have a chance to break free this weekend. Not only is the weather supposed to clear, but the Coquitlam Express and Canadian Tire are teaming up to raise funds and awareness for the Jumpstart program, which helps get kids in the game. Jumpstart to June will be held on Saturday, June 4, and will feature a three-on-three road hockey tournament at Canadian Tire, 1200 Seguin Ave., Coquitlam. The store parking lot will play host to the tournament from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when a small-sized road hockey rink will be set up for

tourney action. Mr. Mike’s Steakhouse and Bar will be setting up a barbecue in the vicinity, cooking hamburgers for all participants and interested passersby. Food will be paid for by donation to the Jumpstart program. The Coquitlam Express junior A hockey team is partnering with Canadian Tire in order to generate funds, as well as create a better understanding and awareness towards the Jumpstart program, and what this charitable cause can provide to the community and its residents. Jumpstart helps kids participate in sports they might not otherwise have the opportun-

Maillardville hosts giant garage sale

Are you ready to haggle? The Maillardville Residents’ Association is happy to announce its fourth-annual giant garage sale. More than a mere garage sale, come and tap your toes to lively French-Canadian music in historic Maillardville and feast on barbecued hotdogs, mini pizzas and mouth-watering chili. Children are welcome and can pick up a free balloon at the sale. The selection will feature hundreds of quality pre-loved items at garage sale prices. All funds raised are returned into the community through association activities. The sale will run Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1007 Alderson Ave., Coquitlam. Full details are available at www.maillardvilleresidents.ca.

Silent auction helps post-partum society Cornerstone Café in Coquitlam is holding a silent auction on Sunday, June 5, to raise funds for the Pacific Post Partum Support Society. From noon to 4 p.m. at the café (3003 Burlington Dr.), people can bid on items and catch live music by Grand Trine Trio, check out an information booth and enter to win door prizes. Proceeds will support the society, which is devoted to

building a community of compassion and raising awareness about how one in six women experience troubling depression or anxiety after the birth or adoption of a child. The event is the brainchild of a group of six women, all post-partum survivors and past members of the society’s Port Coquitlam group. For information about the society, visit www.postpartum. org or call 604-255-7999.

Slowpitch players needed The Coquitlam contingent for the B.C. Senior Games is seeking female slowpitch players or couples ages 55 and over. Members are needed for the co-ed and ladies slowpitch teams which will be travelling to the B.C. Seniors Games in Trail, scheduled for Aug. 16 to 21. If you play slowpitch and would like to attend the games, contact Faye or Rick at 604-937-5446 or bcseniorgames@telus. net to register. The deadline is June 7.

ity to play, by covering the costs of equipment, registration and/or transportation. As of February, the Jumpstart initiative has helped more than 315,000 kids. Through a mutual interest in the community, the Coquitlam Express and Canadian Tire plan to generate goodwill between its residents while providing a fun competitive community competition. Music will be playing all day, and a fun and entertaining atmosphere will be created by music playing throughout the competition. The event area will also be overflowing with plenty of signage and balloons. All teams will play a minimum of three games, and there will be three divisions based

on age groups: six to 10 years, 11 to 15 years, 16 and up. Players must provide their own equipment — including runners, sticks, goalie mask, gloves and pads. All participants are entered into a draw to win one of the two nets used during the tournament. The minimum donation entry fee is $10 per team, and registration in advance is required. For more information in regards to registration and entry information, go to www.coquitlamexpress.ca.

Lexus blends performance with luxury in CT 200h It’s no secret that Toyota is ahead of the game when it comes to hybrid vehicles, but it’s interesting to note that Lexus actually has more hybrids in its lineup than Toyota. While the Prius is the poster child for hybrids, the only other Toyotas to gain electric motors over the years have been the Highlander and Camry. In the meantime, Lexus has equipped three of its existing vehicles with gaselectric drivetrains and introduced two purpose-built luxury hybrids: the HS 250h in 2009, and the 2011 CT 200h. So, what do you need to know about the newest Lexus? Three things: it’s a compact,

RAY: So even though you’re not due to install new plugs for another 69,000 miles, if it were my truck, I’d change them now rather than take a chance. The longer they stay in there, presumably, the more likely they are to snap off when you take them out. TOM: To rub a little salt in the wound, these plugs are expensive — they’re about $25 each. That’s why the dealer wants $300 to replace them, including labour. But if even one of them gets stuck and breaks, that’s $300 right there. At your current rate of driving, you won’t get to 100,000 miles until around 2058, so I think it’s worth swapping out the plugs now.

The CT 200h is based upon the excellent Corolla/Matrix platform, but designers have worked hard to distinguish the Lexus from its Toyota cousins. While the jury is out on the unusual exterior, which looks better from some angles than others, the upscale interior gets top marks for its balance of technology and simplicity. In the long run, it will be interesting to see how the CT 200h fares in the North American and European markets. Here, it’s a case of determining how much appeal a Lexus hatchback holds for consumers. Across the Atlantic, the question is whether or not it can unseat the established European competition. Regardless of how it does, Lexus deserves praise for lead-

Learning to grow Cinderella pumpkins The lesson won’t stop at midnight. Coquitlam’s Inspiration Garden is holding its first children’s workshop, featuring how to grow a Cinderella

just as enthusiastically as weeds. Rampant self-sowers include oriental poppies, hellebores, shasta daisies, lady’s mantle, lupins and bronze leaf fennel. Hellebores, oriental poppies and bronze leaf fennel seedlings should be removed young due to tenacious taproots. Annuals that weren’t planted earlier should be planted now. Seeds for biennials like sweet williams, foxgloves, double daisies and lunaria can be sown and planted out in early fall. As summer continues, roses need a lot of watering, but it should all be directed to the roots. Moisture on the leaves encourages

black spot and other fungal diseases. The only exception is when green aphids infest the new shoots — a blast of water knocks them onto the ground where they stay. After shrubs flower, they can be pruned. Some like mock orange have no problem having up to one third of their branches removed. Gardeners who want to produce young plants for gifts or next year’s plant sales can layer shrubs such as forsythia, viburnum and hydrangeas at this time. • Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

Thunder make noise in junior B boxla circuit

This is a story about your typical 9-0 junior lacrosse team. But not the one you’re thinking about. There are actually two local junior teams leading their respective loops with perfect records heading into the second month of lacrosse action. For the Port Moody Thunder, this is considered a rebound year. Three years ago, the Thunder debuted in the West Coast Junior B Lacrosse League like a flash. They rolled right to the top and captured the league and provincial titles. But this group was not a flash in the pan. After last year’s disappointing collapse in the B.C. championships, Port Moody has regained its old polish to dominate the opposition. The Thunder are a perfect 9-0-0 after Monday’s 13-7 win over Surrey. Despite being targeted by their junior A brethren as a producer of very good players, Port Moody has retained its core group and even built on it, with an eye on provincial success this year, and next. “That was our expectation coming out of the gate this year,” Thunder co-coach Jed Sigfusson said. “With the players we had coming back, any other goal than getting to provincials would be a total letdown.” In one of their more recent triumphs, the result was a product of skill, perseverance, and adjustments. Burnaby jumped out of the gate early and grabbed a one-goal lead, utilizing a zone defence. Co-coach Peter Thomasen drew up a counter attack plan and unleashed his charges, with successful results. “(Burnaby) was running a zone and kind of threw us for a loop,” Sigfusson noted. “We had to change it up, Peter came up with a strategy and the guys broke the zone. It was a quick back-and-forth but we got control and went from there.” This year’s roster is very similar to the first edition, with 12 players left over from that Port Moody lineup. Captain Tom Seeman is a key holdover, leading the league offensively with 17 goals and 20 assists over seven games. He’s joined by fellow ‘elder’ statesmen like Scott Constable, Scott MacDonald, Cam Patterson and goalie Sheldon Wallace, all eager to recapture that first-year magic. The club has also reclaimed some key Port Moody products, including first-year junior Eddy Patron who  CONT’D ON P. 30, see PORT MOODY...

Gleneagle grabs B.C. golf grand slam Stories by Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com When all the players filed in from the Dunes golf course in Kamloops and the scores were known, the Gleneagle Talons took a moment to high-five each other and cheer. They then jumped into the car and headed home in hopes of getting a good seat to watch the Vancouver Canucks win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals. The Talons had plenty to celebrate, after posting one of the best rounds in B.C. AAA high school championship golf history to claim its first provincial crown. A program that was making its fifth straight appearance at the provincial tournament and that had placed top-three in the previous three years — including second in 2008 — finally holed out on top. “We were second after the first day and had three new kids on the team,” coach Brian Unger said. “This group was able to step up when it counted and we were finally able to slay the dragon.” The Talons completed the two-day, four-player aggregate team competition with a total of two-under par 583, 13 strokes better than Belmont. To put that much distance between first and second was a result of everything going well. Trailing Belmont by two after an opening day four-score total of 295, Gleneagle’s golfers carried some hot clubs out onto the course Wednesday and whittled their scores down at a dizzying pace. “Everyone played to their potential, and that’s something you can’t take for granted,” said Unger. “We knew going Paul vanPeenen/NOW in that we had a strong team ALL IN PLAY: The Gleneagle Talons senior golf team, from left, coach Brian Unger, Duncan Priestly, Jisoo Keel, but in the past three years we Kevin Ko, Ally Shin and David Lee, celebrate their B.C. championship haul Thursday. finished top-three but didn’t win it, despite having a team Grade 11, at par with 142 (73-71).

Errors add up to Reds’ loss A pair of errors provided the North Shore Twins with an edge over the Coquitlam Reds in Tuesday’s 2-0 decision in B.C. Premier Baseball League play. Scoreless after three innings, a walk and an error charged to Reds’ starting pitcher Matt Trimble led to the first run in the fourth. Alex Krickan drove in Connor Merilees for what stood up as the winning run. Trimble tossed five solid innings, allowing eight hits and two unearned runs, while fanning five. The lefthander owns a 4-1 record and a 1.39 earned run average. The lone Reds to register hits in the game were outfielder Tyler Yorko and third baseman Jordan Varga. Coquitlam and North Shore sit in a tie for sixth place in the BCPBL with 10-12 records. The Reds venture to Nanaimo to play the firstplace Pirates on Saturday. A day later they stop in Parksville.

Jr Adanacs strand Islanders The goals just keep coming. The Coquitlam junior A Adanacs improved to 10-0 on the year by clobbering the Delta Islanders 17-7 on Wednesday. Sparked by a seven-goal first period, Coquitlam broke a 1-1 tie with eight straight markers to lead 9-1 early in the second. Leading the way was Wesley Berg, with five goals and four assists. Casey Jackson chipped in three goals and six helpers, while Matthew Dinsdale notched four goals and four assists. Tor Reinholdt tallied twice, with singles by Ryan Johnson, David Joyce and Vincent Ricci. Brandon Bertoia finished with eight assists. The Adanacs’ next opponent is last year Minto Cup rival New Westminster, 8 p.m. on Wednesday. The Port Coquitlam Saints, meanwhile, host New West tonight, 8 p.m. at the PoCo Rec Centre.

Former Canadian Olympic player Jenn Salling has completed her college career as an All-American.

Salling ends UW career with All-American honour

The season ended a tad short of perfect, but Port Coquitlam’s Jenn Salling capped her collegiate softball career with a pretty nifty feather in her cap. The 22-year-old shortstop was selected to the 2011 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Div. I All-American second-team roster, to go along with her PAC-10 Defensive Player of the Year award. Salling wrapped up her University of Washington career on Sunday in a 6-3 loss to Missouri at the NCAA Super Regionals, one win short of a Women’s College World Series berth. Salling finished that game 2-for-3, scoring Washington’s

first run of the tournament. They ended the year with a 37-15 record. Her list of honours during a stellar career included an NCAA national championship in 2009, two straight seasons at All-PAC-10 and Pacific Region awards and a first team All-American in 2010. A member of the Canadian national team, Salling posted the third-best batting numbers at UW, batting .374 with 44 runs scored, a team-high 17 doubles, 40 walks and .508 on-base percentage. She was recently drafted by the National Pro Fastphitch League’s USSSA Pride, based in Florida, where she is expected to play this summer.

sits second in league scoring with 16 goals and 19 helpers, and Jeff Fransen. Both were expected to make splashes in the Jr. A circuit this year, except they chose to play with their friends. “We had a pretty solid core from that first team, but Burnaby (junior A Lakers) pretty much raided me last year,” Sigfusson said. “(The players) were going to go en masse but when they realized that they were going to be split up, many of them returned this year.”

The end result has been a powerhouse at home. Sigfusson makes no qualms about his club’s aim to stay local, and he promotes it as such. But they will always be targeting the top prize. “It’s all coming together, and all these guys are happy about playing together,” he noted. “What we want to build is a program that they can follow when they’re younger and grow up to be a part of.” Port Moody visits PoCo for a 7 p.m. game on Sunday, then heads to New Westminster on Wednesday.

Pinetree places second at B.C.s

The Pinetree Secondary badminton team put up a strong charge at defending their B.C. championship title, with only St. George’s/Crofton House standing in their way. When the smoke cleared in the final, the Lower Mainland champions prevailed 3-1 and Pinetree picked up silver. The Coquitlam school, which had won the Fraser Valley crown, advanced to the championship by edging Richmond 6-4 in a thrilling semifinal. The teams includes: Ian Chan, Jacky Chan, Yannis Cheung, Yan Yan Fung, Newman Lam, Andrew Le Binh, Allen Lee, Carol Leung, Alex Lim, Emma Liu, Alan Luk, Tracy Nong, Adrienne Tan and Oscar Zhen.

Cancer June 21-July 22: You’re in a quiet, lowenergy month, but your hopes remain high, and friends still call – those hopes and friends are going to swell over the 12 months ahead, until your popularity reaches a 13-year peak, and your hopes burst into dreams fulfilled! But for now, accept a few weeks of quietude and recuperation. Meditate, contemplate and plan. Be charitable, spiritual, fulfill your obligations and deal with government agencies. Chase money Sunday/Monday. (Buy technology Sunday.) Paperwork, travel and messaging arise Tuesday to Thursday. Home, garden, kids Thursday onward. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Wishes come true this week and next.You’re still dealing with pressures on career, status and ambition fronts. Here, favour towards you continues until Thursday, but impatience and a critical attitude continue until June 20. Be diplomatic and eager to please, because the 12 months ahead can boost your career and status in the world in a lucky way – you could rise to a peak you’ve never achieved before! This influence can also expand problems – so don’t create any with impatience, illwill or (especially) unethical or illegal speech/action now to June 20. All’s good! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The accent lies on career, ambitions, prestige relationships and your status in the community, world. Generally all is well here, and productive, especially Tuesday and Friday (work or schmooze late!) and June 16/17. But your mind continues to contemplate bigger horizons, religious ones, or foreign climes, or intellectual or love matters. These have turned lucky, and will expand luckily over the twelve months ahead. But short-term (until June 20) continue to avoid legal hassles, especially over sexual situations, debt and investments. You succeed midweek! Chase money Friday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: These weeks are easy but busy, filled with messages, paperwork, details and trips. Romance, pleasure, beauty and a winning streak visit Sunday to Tuesday morning – but don’t gamble with your income or possessions Monday p.m. Work and health concerns call Tuesday noon to early Thursday – plunge in early; your steady approach could trigger a lucky “wind at your back” influence, a bit of cosmic aid. Relationships start sweetly Thursday p.m., but they turn to confusion or misunderstanding this night, then right themselves (perhaps turning to love!) by Friday p.m. Plan accordingly. Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on earnings, possessions, rote learning and sensuality. Your energy and charisma levels are good, your effectiveness high. And a cheerfulness about your monetary position in the world is stealing over you. In the 12 months ahead, you can make some excellent investment or financial decisions,can achieve physical gratification, and a partner’s income could improve, perhaps immensely! Your only “scourge” will be the tendency to put on weight (or to be arrogant due to your success). Be restful Sunday/Monday. Romance, pleasure arrive Tuesday p.m. to Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness are tops! Someone who is not free to dally might “befriend” you (quite recently, now or soon) – this could turn into a year-long affair, making you desire marriage. But it’s doomed to disappoint, so remain honest, reject triangles. You will also be befriended by someone “unromantically” – or by an agency. You will be welcomed and aided by governments this year ahead. Start important projects this week. Sunday/Monday bring travel, messaging. Land, home succeed Tuesday/Wednesday. Romance “up and down” Thursday-Saturday – chase it Friday p.m.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The emphasis lies on legalities, religion, far travel, culture (rituals) higher education, broadmindedness, compassion and love. Lingering “threads” (vines) of recent research, sexual (perhaps verboten) attractions, investments, ﬁnances and debt, deep health concerns, and lifestyle changes still creep around you. Neither cut these off nor deeply commit to them yet. There is a “partner” in there: but perhaps an illicit one. This whole zone has very recently turned lucky, and will expand or present you with providential opportunities over the twelve months ahead. Stay honest! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The accent lies on depths, mysteries, research, sexual desires, subconscious urges, health diagnosis, dream analysis and occultism, large ﬁnances and lifestyle changes. It’s an “all or nothing” time – you either commit, or break off. If hesitating about commitment to someone who’s been around awhile, remember that your true love decade has just begun. A bird in the hand might not be worth two in the bush. Partnerships of all kinds, business and love, meet huge luck in the 12 months ahead – that luck just began last Saturday. Study your future Tuesday p.m. to Thursday a.m. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The emphasis lies on relationships, opportunities and opposition, love and war. Everything’s above board – friends and enemies are open, honest. Relocation might occupy your thoughts – the best, most fortunate time in a quarter-century for this will occur from June 2012 to July 2013 – why rush it? Some “trailing tasks” are a hold-over from May: just complete them. Realize your work and duties will expand greatly over the 12 months ahead – with commensurate rewards. Sunday/Monday are sweet, gentle. Be ambitious midweek. Your hopes, popularity rise Thursday p.m. onward!

June 5 - 11, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: This week and next pile work on your shoulders – and health, diet concerns. That’s OK, nothing you can’t handle; all will flow fairly smoothly. (Take care in both areas Monday and Thursday nights.) Your luck is starting to grow in romantic, creative, pleasurable, speculative and child-oriented zones – it will last until summer 2012. You might neither see nor sense this for a long while, then suddenly, an event occurs. Be open, ready – and innocent enough to believe! Sunday/Monday bring secrets and money decisions. Midweek’s gentle, wise. Be ambitious Thursday night onward! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The focus lies on romance, creative ventures, art, beauty, pleasure, vacation, risk and speculation, and child-oriented projects. But these are nothing compared to the huge year-long streak of the same that will arrive by mid-2012 – one that will fulfill a major life-wish! Prepare for that time by building a secure platform psychologically, emotionally and in concrete terms (e.g., buy a house).Your luck in real estate, domesticity, with children, security, retirement, gardening, Mother Nature – will reach a decade high from June 22, 2011 to mid-June , 2012. Don’t start early! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The emphasis lies on your home, security, children, nourishment, on Mother Nature, retirement, endings and beginnings. A minor new phase or project might begin in these areas midweek. Usually this phase (late May to late June) creates a restful, sluggish mood designed to give you a mid-year rejuvenation. But this time a lot of errands, trips, visits, calls and paperwork keep you busy. June 4 starts a year in which your career will involve a lot of running around and communicating. Romance disappoints Friday, flows smoothly Saturday. One met before Friday isn’t compatible. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
