First Nations students honoured Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com The achievements of Aboriginal youth were recognized this week in School District 43’s inaugural honouring ceremony. This year, 112 Aboriginal students are graduating in the Tri-Cities school district. These students were honoured Wednesday in a formal ceremony, which also included awards for grade 9, 10 and 11 students. Laurie Ebenal, vice-principal of Aboriginal education, said the ceremony aims to weave cultural teachings with academic traditions. For younger students watching the honouring ceremony, she said, they can aspire to achieve goals beyond the regular school system. “The intent of this formal event was to create a sense of pride in their successes,” Ebenal said. Carman McKay of the Sto:lo Nation provided graduates with traditional eagle feathers, which were beaded in medicine wheel colours by his wife, Dawn. The eagle feathers were housed in a button blanketstyle felt folder with abalone shell buttons. As well, each graduate received a silver eagle feather with salmon necklace designed by artist Rick Harry of the Squamish Nation. According to Harry, the eagle feather symbolizes that students have  CONTINUED ON PAGE 5, see DRUM.

Big crowds expected for Betty Fox memorial Port Coquitlam offers Wilson Centre as overflow locale John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com The City of Port Coquitlam has added a secondary site for the public to take in Betty Fox’s funeral on Saturday. While the service will be held at Trinity United Church, the city has added additional viewing opportunities at Wilson Centre to help offset any overcrowding or capacity concerns.

Moore said the decision to archive the footage, or make it available at a later date, rests with the Fox family. Mother to Terry Fox, one of Canada’s most iconic figures, Betty died on the morning of June 17 at the age of 73. She is survived by her husband Rolly, three children — Fred, Darrell and Judith — and nine grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the Fox family is asking that donations be made to The Terry Fox Foundation. For more information, see www. terryfox.org.

SHARE Family and Community Services hopes Tri-Cities residents will keep the food bank in mind every day throughout a new campaign called “I remembered the food bank today.” Development director Heather Scott encourages shoppers to remember the food bank each time they buy groceries, just as they remember their reusable grocery bags. “What we want to do is change people’s shopping habits,” Scott said. “They just need to remember.” Food bank supplies dwindle during summer months, but the demand remains as high as ever.

Coquitlam eyes regional governance John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Coquitlam residents may have more than just municipal politics on their mind come November. Council voted unanimously Monday to examine if an extra question should be offered to voters in November’s elections around whether councillors should be directly elected to Metro Vancouver’s board of directors. The idea was put forward by Coun. Lou Sekora, arguably council’s most outspoken critic of the regional governance model. In introducing the idea Monday, Sekora took issue with Metro Vancouver’s board structure, how directors are appointed rather than elected, how metro staffers are paid and the budgets they oversee. “To have a board that administrates an $800-million budget and not one of them is elected, it’s pretty frightening,” Sekora said. Sekora’s motion was referred to the July 4 council meeting. Should council move forward with the issue, a sub-committee will then be struck to determine how the wording of such a question will shape up.

Linda Reimer questioned what, if anything, a municipality could do to change Metro Vancouver’s policies. “If they say yes, well that’s fine, then what do we do with that? So I think we really need to think ahead on this before we take this out to our electorate,” she said. Sekora’s motion will be put before council for a vote on July 4.

Coquitlam considers cycling routes John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Despite staff’s wishes to the contrary, a region-wide cycling group may get its way yet. On Monday, Coquitlam council opted to take a tour of a proposed bike path in the Pacific Reach area of south Coquitlam to see if a route put forward by the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC) could potentially work. The route in question, dubbed the Coquitlam Fraser Greenway, is envisioned to facilitate the area around the future Fraser Mills development, an area where 5,000 people currently work and 7,000 new residents — on top of 1,500 new jobs — are expected. A staff report notes that the VACC’s proposal is “premature” due to ongoing construction in the area, private property concerns and railroad realignment, among other factors. “It also has a number of serious challenges particularly in the central section. Challenges include traversing the Como Creek streamside protection enhancement area

You dig a hole, put it in and then cover it up, so it’s going to be kind of fun to actually go down and look at something that you’re planning that we’ll be able to see.” No date was set Monday as to when council will tour the proposed route.

PoCo boy helps robbery victim Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com A 10-year-old Port Coquitlam boy has been honoured for helping a victim of a violent robbery. Last month, an elderly woman was assaulted on Hastings Street and Patricia Avenue near Westwood Elementary School on Hastings. After her attacker stole her purse and took off, the injured woman tried to get help at two nearby houses, but no one was home.

She then went to Westwood Elementary, where she met Grade 5 student Josh Proban. “You look like you could use some help,” Josh said to the bleeding woman as he led her to the school office. School staff called 911, and Coquitlam RCMP and B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics arrived. Since then, the woman has recovered from her injuries. RCMP Supt. Claude Wilcott presented the officer-incharge commendation award to Josh last week at his school.

After the presentation, Wilcott said the commendation is the least his team can do to show appreciation for Josh. “He’s an exceptional kid and his family and friends should be really proud of how he rose to the occasion, kept his cool and made a real difference for someone in distress,” Wilcott said in a release. On May 6, Coquitlam RCMP arrested a suspect in the case. The 32-year-old Surrey man faces several charges related to the incidents in Coquitlam

and throughout the region. He is scheduled to appear in Port Coquitlam provincial court on Thursday. twitter.com/jennifermcfee

The City of Port Moody has amended its regulations related to sandwich board signs in response to a public consultation. When placed on public property, portable freestanding signs must now be located within six metres of the main entrance of the business or organization they represent. Previously, sandwich board signs were allowed to be located on public property any distance from the businesses

they advertised. The rationale for the closer proximity is that the signs will orient pedestrians rather than drivers. As well, it may increase compliance with the requirement to display signs only during business hours. These signs must now contain no more than two sign faces, with a maximum area of 0.56 square metres and a maximum height of 1.22 metres. “It’s something that will benefit businesses. It’s an opportunity for businesses to market their workplace,” Mayor Joe Trasolini said.

Big oil, banks, pharma don’t need the tax breaks Re: “HST debate: Tax fails the test of fairness,” My View opinion piece, Friday, June 17. Thanks and huge kudos for the progressive perspective on the HST debate by Seth Klein from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. It seems like we have been confused from the start regarding the HST and this referendum is no exception. To The We hear so much “opinion” from folks like the Fraser Institute, I am really pleased to see your paper give the opportunity for input from other groups who have thoughtful and reasonable ideas to consider. I couldn’t agree more that this tax is very unfair, as usual, to those at the low end of the socio-economic spectrum.

It’s time for the tax breaks given to rich and powerful corporations to stop. I don’t mean small business, I’m talking about multinationals that exploit workers, outsource jobs and take advantage of weak environmental regulations to increase their bottom line. It is ludicrous to think companies like big oil, banks and big pharma need taxpayer subsidies to operate. They enjoy Editor massive profits and control global government policy, and it’s time the playing field was levelled out a bit. Increase corporate taxes instead of household taxes. It’s only fair.

Remember child safety in summer

round the world, there are large-scale tragedies that kill children by the hundreds of thousands: poverty, famine, communicable diseases, war. All, in different ways, preventable. The scale of death is so immense that, in some ways, we have become inured to the images and news reports — particularly when the world “there” seems so very different from the world our own children are growing up in “here.” And there’s no doubt that a child in North America faces far, far fewer dangers. For the most part, food is abundant and accessible, water sources are clean, sanitation is high, medical supplies are readily available. It’s easy to become complacent and to forget that hundreds of preventable injuries, some leading to death, occur right here at home in Canada every single day. In fact, accidental injuries are the leading cause of death for children and youth under the age of 20 in Canada. In recent weeks, three children have fallen from windows in Metro Vancouver — in one case, a two-year-old child died as a result of her injuries. It is difficult to comprehend the magnitude of this family’s loss, and our hearts go out to them. Sadly, they are not alone: a 2009 Child and Youth Injury report from the Public Health Agency of Canada lists falls as one of the main categories of unintentional injury deaths in the country. Though motor vehicle traffic accidents by far lead the way, drownings — particularly in the summertime as the heat soars — falls, poisonings, suffocation and fires account for dozens of deaths each year. The good news is those numbers have been decreasing since the early ‘90s as people become more aware of car seat guidelines and household safety. The bad news is that there are still far too many families suffering the loss of a child in accidents that might have been prevented. Even one is too many.

Fire hall costs outrageous As a Port Moody resident who voted No in the fire hall referendum, I am happy to see that some people on the city council have common sense when it comes to the fire hall plans. Coun. Karen Rockwell hit it on the head when she said it would be foolhardy to tie up that land with a fire hall for the next 50 to 60 years. Personally I feel that land should be sold and the funds should be used to help pay for the fire hall, To The but that is another issue. I agree it needs to be done — but $16 million is an outrageous amount. So I am glad this project is getting another look and they are figuring out ways to reduce the cost.

the current location? Six weeks ago the council voted against borrowing up to $16 million to rebuild the fire hall despite holding a wasted referendum vote at a cost of $30,000 to $40,000 to taxpayers and in which Port Moody voters favoured borrowing the money. Suddenly, a new project cost estimate for the rebuilt fire hall is down close to $4 million and the use of reserves is being investigated. Rockwell states that she is thrilled that the task force is able to have a second look Editor at the project. Hasn’t council had the opportunity to have a second look at the project over the last 11 years? I smell election year. Rosemary Small Port Moody

New fire hall site best choice Congratulations to the task force charged with finding an alternate location and reducing the rebuilding costs of Fire Hall No. 1 in Port Moody. The suggestion of building the new fire hall at the Newport-Knowle site is a good one. I can’t help but wonder why the location was never suggested before, except as a temporary location, while Fire Hall No. 1 was being rebuilt? Coun. Karen Rockwell said that the task force reviewed public feedback and people wanted the fire hall built in the same vicinity. True, but why did it take this long to offer this site as an alternate location when it was recommended by Dave Mitchell and Associates Ltd., in the 2003 fire department master plan that the fire hall be rebuilt on site or located near

Does NDP represent B.C.? Will Fin Donnelly stand up for B.C.? Now that the NDP is mostly Quebecers, Jack Layton is expected to speak out for Quebec. But this poses a problem for western NDPers. Just one example gives a hint of the problem. Harper is proposing to add more seats in the House of Commons for fast-growing provinces like B.C. Some provinces like B.C. have increased their share of Canada’s population, but others, such as Quebec and P.E.I., have not. Representation in the House of Commons is supposed to be based on “one person, one vote.” Each Canadian’s vote should have the same value no matter where one lives. B.C. voters have been getting shortchanged. Harper proposes to distribute seats in the House more fairly, and in doing so award B.C. seven more seats. Naturally, Quebec objects. But if Quebec gets its way, representation in

Majority an impressive feat Almost unnoticed by the media but included in Stephen Harper’s victory speech was a most fitting and appropriate thank-you mention to Preston Manning, founder of the old Reform Party and later the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance. When he created the Reform Party in Vancouver in 1987, Preston Manning initiated nothing less than a transformation in Canadian politics culminating in the majority Conservative government Canadians elected May 2. This was long a vision both he and his father, Earnest Manning, shared. Mr. Manning accomplished in 10 short years what it took Jack Layton and the NDP some 50 years to realize. The Reform Party and Manning became the official Opposition starting from an obscure grassroots movement, something unprecedented in Canadian politics. This paved the way for subsequent mergers of conservatives across the country to form the now governing Conservative Party of Canada. Preston Manning is truly an unsung hero and one of Canada’s great political visionaries. Although retired from politics, he continues to tirelessly work in the background to champion the cause of democratic and political reform through his writing and as founder and president of the Manning Centre for Building Democracy. Conservatives owe him much and Canada is a better country because of his vision. Gerald Hall Box Parksville

A Coquitlam Amateur Radio Club member records a message during an exercise held in December, as part of emergency preparation.

Tri-Cities test radios of last resort Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com In the event of a natural disaster, Coquitlam’s amateur ham radio operators are ready to provide much-needed communications services. This weekend, the local group is setting up shop in Blue Mountain Park and inviting the public to test equipment themselves. Jessica McAlister, a member of the Coquitlam Amateur Radio Club, said the annual event is part of an international field day contest. “The purpose is for all these clubs to try out their emergency capabilities,” she said. “There’s points allotted for certain achievements. One of them is to get newcomers onto the air, to have elected officials show up. There’s all kinds of different categories. It’s exciting.” McAlister, an electrical engineer, joined the club three years ago to use her professional skills. “I was looking for a way to get involved with the community where my technical skills might be of

some advantage,” she said. “Sometimes in the engineering field, there’s a disconnect between the work that we do and any kind of benefit to society. So this is a way that these technical skills and abilities can really benefit.” The club’s emergency operations team meets monthly to put such skills to the test. “We simulate exercises like a forest fire or a flood and practise these communication skills, which may become necessary during any kind of natural disaster, as we’ve seen lately with the earthquakes in Haïti. Even with the hurricanes in the U.S., amateur radio operators really came into play and helped out in those situations,” McAlister said. “You just take it for granted that you can call someone on your cellphone or log into Facebook. But when those services go down, really how are you going to communicate to your loved ones or communicate for necessary operations between emergency workers and social services? It’s hard to even imagine ahead of time what could happen.” For this weekend’s field day event, the group will set up for 24 hours in a mobile trailer unit

equipped with a satellite dish. “We can actually get the Internet up and running just through satellites, without any other infrastructure. It would become a very valuable service in the event of an emergency when other lines of communication are not available,” McAlister said. “Part of the reason for the exercise is to prove that you can power all your own equipment with generators, that you can set up spontaneously and get all your antennas operating. It’s one thing to be able to operate from your clubhouse where your antennas are permanently installed and reliable. But this part of the exercise is to operate in an unusual setting. “The other thing is just to get some public exposure, to get people out, to learn more about amateur radio and to even try it out.” The event takes place Saturday, June 25 at 11 a.m. to Sunday, June 26 at 11 a.m. in the eastern end of Coquitlam’s Blue Mountain Park, between the tennis courts and Scout Hall.

École Anne-Hebert partnered with Société francophone de Maillardville to research and write a book about the arrival and early pioneer life of the francophone community in 1909. The Ministry of Education has recognized the book as an educational tool, and an educational guide is being developed.

Thanks. Nan engine misfires, which can increase pollution.

And their 60 days had run out by the time they handed you the keys. So when you failed, it was for the second time, and there was no longer a grace period. RAY: But keep in mind that rejection builds character, Nan. You’ll need that character when you’re doing your 160 kilometres on private property, rather than on public roads, to avoid a ticket. I calculate that’ll be about 900 times around the local Walmart parking lot. • Got a question about cars? Write to Click and Clack by visiting the Car Talk website at www.cartalk.com. Which is cheaper, buying or leasing? Should you keep a car forever or dump it after three years, before trouble starts?

If there are no misfires after a certain number of miles, it checks off that box. If enough miles go by and your oxygen sensor shows no faults, the computer checks that off the list, etc. TOM: Then, when you go back for your inspection, the computer can report that it has sufficient data in all areas. And if everything is working correctly, bada bing, you get your sticker. RAY: If there’s not enough data collected, or if everything is not working correctly, then you fail your inspection. I don’t know how it works in all 50 states, but where we live, you then get a temporary “rejected” sticker and you have 60 days to drive around, humiliated, fix the problem and get re-inspected. TOM: So I’m guessing that your daughter and son-in-law failed inspection a while ago because the vehicle’s speed sensor didn’t work.

Daring to be a different crossover editorial@thenownews.com If you like how it looks, you’ll love what it has to offer. The Nissan Juke is a blend of sporty car and SUV utility in a compact, highly fuel-efficient and affordable package. The Juke is already a hit with consumers, as more than 50,000 were sold around the world within four months of its launch last year. Yes, its styling tends to have a polarizing effect on potential buyers. Even if it’s not to your liking, you still have to credit Nissan for daring to be different. And the differences go beyond aesthetics, as the Juke comes with one of the most advanced powertrains you can buy for less than $25,000. Beneath its bold design, Juke packs a hot little directinjection engine. Small but powerful, it is a turbocharged 1.6-litre direct fuel-injection

with intercooler, 16-valve, four-cylinder that’s rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. A new member of the exclusive over 100 hp/litre club, it offers both performance and fuel economy. Short in length but tall in stature, Juke takes most of its styling cues from Nissan’s Qazana, an active lifestyle concept vehicle first shown at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The round headlights, below “crocodile eye” light combinations, are apparently rally car inspired. It has a sporty coupe look, from a side view, with hidden rear door handles. The official fuel economy numbers for the Juke were calculated while driving in the “normal” performance mode. Switching to either the eco or sport modes, however, instantly changes the Juke’s driving personality. The all new Nissan Juke may be a bit of a design gamble, but is a put-moneyon winner in every other way, including outstanding value.

instead. Potatoes being boiled will take on excess unnecessary water, and water has no flavour. Steaming them will help to prevent this. If you insist on boiling, then at least make sure that the water is liberally salted so the potatoes will become seasoned as they boil. The most important thing to do, however, is taste the salad. Dressings are usually prepared separately and then mixed with the bland potatoes. People are very careful to taste their dressings in progress, and adjust the seasonings as needed, but we forget to taste the salad once it is combined. Always taste and adjust the seasonings in anything you make, just before you are serving it so that you can assess it in the same form your guests will. • Chef Dez is a food columnist, culinary instructor and cooking show performer.

New coach to lead Panthers’ veteran run Veteran wheels will play a big role in the 2011-12 Port Moody Black Panthers. The next edition of the junior B hockey club will have an abundance of eligible returnees on its roster, many of the fleetskated variety. New head coach Craig Sherbaty has made it his job to keep those blades hustling in an upward direction. “I think we’ve got lots of speed, tremendous speed and a great attitude,” said Sherbaty, who was familiar with Port Moody from his perch behind the Mission Icebreakers’ bench. “I knew that to beat them you had to keep working, we’d try to trap them and slow the game down. If anything, they were always a tough team.” Sherbaty signed on earlier this month, replacing Ron Johnson after the latter chose to step away from the team after just one season. Sherbaty guided Mission to an 18-23-0-5 record, good for fourth in the Harold Brittain Conference — nine points back of second place Port Moody. Getting another coach with Pacific International Junior B League experience was a key for Port Moody general manager/owner Ron Luniw, but a larger one was finding someone who could continue what had already been started. “(Sherbaty) stresses the same sort of game plan as Ron (Johnson) — defence first,” said Luniw. “That seems to be the philosophy of a lot of guys but we’ll walk the walk.” The club has seven of eight defencemen eligible to return, including six-foot-one Burnaby product Ryan Panichelli and Anmore native Jamie Lively. The offence should be solid, anchored by team scoring leader Trevor Kang and Port Moody native Brandon Millin. Netminder Nick Taylor is also a key returnee. “We need four or five spots filled and I’m working on a couple of deals,” Luniw said. “It’s important that you have the right mix and the right veterans, but we’re in good shape.” The Panthers are holding their evaluation camp July 8-10 in Langley. For more information contact Luniw at 604-4653666.

INDUCTED: The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame inducted a host of athletes and honoured the year’s achievers in its second annual ceremony at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex on Wednesday. At top, Lui Passaglia graciously accepts his honour, as did Leah Pells, bottom left. The Centennial Centaurs 1972 basketball team, with coach Gordon Betcher at the mic, made their induction a reunion. For more photos, go to www.thenownews.com

In a class of their own

They came to pay homage and to salute Coquitlam’s stars. A crowd of more than 100 people turned out to Wednesday’s Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where the second annual celebration of the city’s best athletes filled the Poirier Sport and Leisure foyer with friends, family and fans. With Global TV sportscaster Barry Deley serving as MC and CSHOF president Lois McNary providing the welcoming address, the ceremony provided an opportunity to highlight some of the community’s leaders in the sports world, both past and present. Earning their spot of honour were Hall of Fame inductees Geoff Aunger, Lijljiana Ljubisic, Neal Marshall, Lui Passaglia, Percy Perry, Leah Pells, Stan Shillington and the 1972 Centennial Centaurs boys basketball team. Passaglia, who like Ljubisic was originally inducted last November but was only able to accept the honour on Wednesday due to knee surgery, said it was a thrill to be among such an outstanding class of people. “It’s certainly a great honour, to have your community do this,” said Passaglia. “I’ve lived here more than half my life, I sweated a lot of miles and kicked a lot of footballs in this community just to allow me to play those 25 years with the B.C. Lions.” Tara Self, head coach of the Coquitlam Cheetahs track and field club and former Olympic sprinter,

accepted the honour on behalf of her father Percy Perry, who was honoured posthumously. “He was involved with sports and loved sports. He believed everyone deserved a chance,” said Self. Long-time Coquitlam teacher and administrator Gordon Betcher, who coached the ’72 Centaurs to their provincial title, joined the team on stage to accept the award. “This is a very big honour and a special treat to get together after all these years,” said Betcher. “It took a while to recognize everyone.”  CONT.

Fox trio named to B.C.’s football squad

A trio of Terry Fox Ravens made the cut and will represent B.C. at the 2011 Football Canada Cup in Lethbridge next month. The three — linebacker Jake Nylund, defensive lineman Tyrel Ratich, and offensive lineman Mason Woods — join 37 other players named to the B.C. roster on Thursday. Woods is one of three returning players from the inaugural B.C. squad, which placed third in 2010. Nylund was one of five provincial all-stars to earn a spot.

The Mount Douglass Rams had five players selected to the team, while the provincial AAA champion Vancouver College Fighting Irish had two players chosen. The players were part of an initial tryout of 132 players invited to the May mini-camp. The last tryout camp featured 62 players, including nine from the Tri-Cities. Terry Fox coach Tom Kudaba is serving as B.C. head coach for a second straight year. The Canada Cup starts July 9 at the University of Lethbridge.

A clean sweep for Port Moody in Saanich The Port Moody peewee A1 lacrosse team stood on its head and walked off with the gold at the Wooster Classic in Saanich two weeks ago.

Earning individual game MVP honours were goalie Ryan Popkey, Connor Hogarth, Cole McMillan and Ryan Smith.

Moore ends NCAA career by shattering Morris scoring records Tom Berridge sports@thenownews.com To be recognized is a special honour. To be trumpeted twice is a trend. Port Coquitlam product Trevor Moore received just such a tribute this month as the senior captain of Robert Morris University’s men’s field lacrosse team. The 23-year-old attackman racked up the honours upon the conclusion of the NCAA Division I lacrosse season, picking up his second straight All-American honour, along with his second consecutive Northeast conference’s player of the year award. A year ago, Moore became the first Morris lacrosse player to earn All-American honours. To do it a second time, making the honourable mention squad, was a cap to a pretty stellar college career. “I just took advantage of all the opportunities I got,” said Moore. “I took a shot when I had to and luckily they went in when they did.” Moore led the NCAA with 3.33 goals per game, while posting a single-season school record 50 tallies. He also set a school record for total points with 61 this season. The five-foot-10 forward

placed fifth in the NCAA and first in the NEC with 4.07 points per game. Last season, Moore also led the NEC in points per game and was the only player in the conference to average more than 3.50 points per game. The season included 10 hat tricks and a seven-goal game. He was twice named the conference player of the week. Nationally, Moore finished among the top 10 with a 43.9 shooting percentage. He was also ranked second in the conference with five game-winning goals. Moore leaves Robert Morris as the most prolific scorer in program history, after setting career school records of 134 goals, 61 assists and 195 points. His 130-plus markers ranked him second nationally among active Div. I college players in career goals. He ended his four-year university career on a 45-game point streak. “I didn’t really realize what the numbers were until the end of the season,” Moore said. “I didn’t want it to get to my head. I just told myself it didn’t matter and focused more on the team’s success.” Nevertheless, Moore also tied the program record with 21 hat tricks, while also being ranked first overall with seven gamewinning goals.

Both Aunger (soccer) and Marshall (speed skating) were unavailable to attend but were represented by their respective fathers. The ceremony also celebrated the Wall of Fame recipients, who were honoured for their achievements in 2010. There to receive their Wall of Fame medals were disabled skiier Matt Hallat, junior female golfer Jisoo Keel, junior male lacrosse player Challen Rogers, high school wrestler Stephanie Glover and badminton player Kevin Lim, university gymnast Laura-Ann Chong, coach of the year Curt Malawsky and his Minto Cup champion Coquitlam junior Adanacs as the team of the year. Unable to attend were high school track star Hodson Harding, university javelin thrower Kyle Nielsen, and fiture skater Kevin Reynolds. Nominations for the next class of CSHOF inductees and honourees can be submitted at www.coquitlamshof.com ADVERTISEMENT

“It wasn’t just me,” Moore added. “It was the way our coaches put us in the right positions and worked on our skill set.” He was also thankful that the Morris coaches chose to

build the program’s offence around the Canadian game. That decision allowed players like himself and including Lower Mainland recruits Richard Cambrey, of PoCo, Coquitlam’s Kevin Neufeld

and Corbyn Tao-Brambleby, and New West’s Tyler Digby to earn scholarships to the Pennsylvania school. This season, Robert Morris made its first-ever post-season appearance before eventually

falling 12-11 in double overtime to Quinnipiac in the conference semifinal. The Patriots claimed another first this yer, beating its first nationally ranked opponent, Bucknell, earlier in the season.

The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame

was pleased to announce the following Hall of Fame Inductees and 2010 Wall of Fame Winners in an induction ceremony held on June 22, 2011 at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, effectiveness, magnetism, and optimism rise for the weeks ahead.You’re on a winning track! That is, if you don’t get knocked off it Sunday/Monday by insisting too strongly on your own way. Be flexible, discern others’ desires. Your popularity rises the rest of this year, and this Monday it could bring you love! Wish, hope, see opportunities, not oppositions. Retreat for a rest and some deep thinking Tuesday/Wednesday – good plans can hatch, and civil servants favour you. Your energy, clout rise Thursday-Saturday: but a domestic or realty problem needs solving. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Take life easy, roll with the punches this week and the next few.Lie low,rest,plan, meditate, deal with shut-ins, fulfill old obligations, be charitable and spiritual, especially Thursday to Saturday. Study career, employment, government and head-office situations Sunday/Monday – think about the changes these areas face now to 2023. Your health faces changes too: a chronic condition disappears. The decade ahead brings digestive concerns, so eat sensibly. Vegetables cure ills. Your hopes rise Tuesday/Wednesday: enjoy a pleasant interval. Saturday night brings “potent glances.” Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Hopes and wishes come true over the weeks ahead. Your optimism grows, your popularity rises. Expect flirtation, light romance, entertainment, social delights! Issue and accept invitations. Wisdom, understanding visit Sunday/Monday. You could see friends struggle, or gravitate toward one another. Be ambitious Tuesday/ Wednesday – you can make headway, all is smooth, especially in money areas related to career. Your hopes and happiness rise Thursday to Saturday, but impediments arise to money, earnings, sensuality and romance – practical impediments. Smile, bide your time.

MOVE-IN BONUS

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The weeks ahead feature property, family, security, gardening, retirement, and the establishment or strengthening of foundations (concrete and emotional/spiritual). You’ll say goodbye to some people or situations, and greet new ones. Snip off wilted vines. Chase money Monday/ Tuesday, but pay attention to major developments: 1) the change in your life and goals causes a change in your home and foundations; 2) this “home change” must face and deal with a change in status or career. Both are long-term, fill the decade ahead – many heartfelt wishes will come true before 2018! Taurus April 20-May 20: Short trips, paperwork, errands, calls, news and casual acquaintances fill the weeks ahead. It’s a busy but not important time. A new project could arise in these areas Thursday onward. Your energy and charisma hit a beautiful peak Sunday/Monday – both days feature a critical development, one which will mold your character going forward. Not in a “war” or conflict way, but in a wisdom way. Chase money Tuesday/Wednesday – but reasonably. Information comes Thursday to Saturday – avoid taking risks in property, legal, and employment zones. Avoid gossip all week; think first. Gemini May 21-June 20: Chase money, seek new clients, buy/sell, and deal with all money matters for the few weeks ahead. Your overall financial, investment, net worth situation is changing – has been changing since 2008, and will continue to do so until 2023. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. Hints of this (and perhaps of tension between your social needs and your money desires) appear Sunday/Monday. Now through August 2012, don’t make the wrong financial decision based on anger, selfishness, over-independence, or a “fed up” feeling. Your energy, charisma surge mid-week – start good things!

June 26 - July 2, 2011

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The cosmos nudges you toward career, business, ambition and prestige situations for the next few weeks (especially late this week). Simultaneously, a deeper, perhaps unconscious force pulls you toward domesticity, security, foundations. You could experience this as a try-versus-quit tug-o-war. It’s there strongly Sunday/ Monday. Best approach: make changes to your career (etc.) goals in order to conform to new realities. The year ahead favours major life changes, and these could also touch a lucky wand to your investments and/or intimate life. For success: talk, be curious! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This is a gentle, sweet time of understanding and wisdom. You might meet a love who could become a life mate – though this is more favoured after July 2, as practical impediments lurk all this week (e.g., that handsome guy is a single father with 10 loud kids.) But in the big picture, you’re finally on true love’s road – though your destination could appear in any one of the fifteen years ahead. The 12 months ahead bring lucky relationships and splendid money opportunities. Love’s choice arises Tuesday. Finances, sexual urges are easy midweek, but might be subtle traps. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Mysteries, secrets, changes and commitments fill the weeks ahead, especially this Thursday-Saturday – though so many practical barriers and traps arise this week that you should wait until next week to act. (Especially to invest, change lifestyle, seek a health diagnosis, undergo surgery, seek sexual intimacy, or make any kind of important commitment or new start.) Sunday/Monday are for chores – practice safety, and eat/dress sensibly. Relationships are smooth and benign Tuesday/Wednesday – still, be wary of committing yourself (and of offered advice). Joy, Saturday late!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Relationships are paramount during this irritating week. Be diplomatic. Bosses and VIPs seem un-amused, and practical matters run into soft, subtle but strong impediments. Opportunities will come, but the good ones arrive after July 2, not before. Sunday/Monday are romantic – you could meet someone who finds you mysteriously attractive. This could grow to “deep heights.” Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday, but don’t take on so much it will interfere with other activities. You’re meant to find love and pleasure this year: to deny it would be a loss. Go slow Thursday to Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The month ahead holds chores, health and nutrition concerns, and nudges you to attend to kids and pets. It’s a good time to seek employment – after this week. Though Sunday/ Monday might contain stress (Sunday) and a feeling of alienation (Monday) these days also highlight home, recuperation, Gaia, property – all imbued with good/ great fortune over the months ahead. A nice romantic breeze is wafting its way through your life June/July, and you should feel its light touch Tuesday/Wednesday. Handle chores, but avoid romance, machinery purchases, dull people, Thursday-Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies on romance, pleasure, beauty, creative surges, speculation, risks and self-expression, now through late July (and especially this Thursday-Saturday). This week’s a little dicey, though, filled with practical barriers, so a bit of waiting or hesitation isn’t unwise. Sunday/Monday indelibly link your romantic and social sides, or cause a tug-o-war between the two. A friend might become a lover (or hints thereof) – or you might have to choose between the two. Domestic matters flow smoothly Tuesday/Wednesday, but might not be beneficial long-term. Talk aids career. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
