jdeutsch@thenownews.com It might seem like the perfect marriage — hot sand and a cold one. But in B.C., the liquor laws don’t allow people to drink even a drop of booze at a park or the beach.

However, that could change, as the province’s new attorney general Suzanne Anton is said to be considering updating liquor laws that could allow people to bring alcohol to beaches and parks.

At Sasamat Lake and White Pine Beach in Port Moody on a sunny Wednesday afternoon, the reaction from beachgoers to the idea is as mixed as a martini.

Grant Gormley said he doesn’t think having a drink at the beach is a problem, but suggested there should be some regulation if the laws change.

He said he would also prefer any drinking to be discreet.

Stan Dragolov said he’s from Europe, where drinking on a beach isn’t an issue.

“The more you control something, the more they do it anyways,” he said of the prohibition at beaches and parks.

He too doesn’t see a problem with allowing for a drink or two on the beach, as long as regulations were in place, similar to the separation used at beer gardens.

So nearing the age of 40, Jalali, his wife Rozita and their two-year-old son decided to get out. The young family decided to flea to Turkey and ask for asylum there.

But even that journey was fraught with perils.

When Jalali got to the train station to leave his homeland, he told guards he was meeting a friend in Turkey.

He was asked if he was Baha’i.

He said yes. If they knew anything about his conversion from the Muslim faith, he said they would have killed him.

“It was a very scary time,” Jalali said.

Fortunately, the guard said he was happy to see him go.

Once in Turkey, Jalali’s family waited for placement by the United Nations to a new country.

He asked for Canada, since he already had family here. After more than two years, Jalali and his family were accepted into Canada.

Once arriving in the country, he quickly moved to an apartment in Coquitlam and picked up work at his sister’s friend’s salon in North Vancouver. He considered continuing his education as an electrician and worked for an electrical company upgrading his skills.

But with another baby on the way and a low salary, he went back to the

career that seemed to give him the most promise.

He started cutting hair at a shop in Port Moody, saving every penny he could for about a year, until finally he could open his own salon.

For the better part of the year, he’s cut hair by day and been a carpenter by night renovating the shop to his liking. After six months, business has started to pick up.

Jalali is still working seven days a week, but he has no complaints.

“I love Canada, I love living here,” he said, adding he’ll probably never return to Iran.

Suspect sought in PoCo open house assault Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com Coquitlam Mounties are hoping a detailed sketch of a man allegedly behind a sexual assault of a realtor will help generate tips to put him behind bars. Police released the sketch Wednesday of an Asian male investigators believe is the suspect involved in the assault in Port Coquitlam.

The incident took place on the afternoon of May 4, when the suspect showed up to an open house at a property on Rowland Street. Police alleged the man assaulted the female realtor. She did not suffer any injuries and was able to convince the suspect to leave.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said it took more than two months for the incident to be made public, in part because investigators were waiting for the sketch artist to be available.

There have not been any reported incidents against realtors since the May assault. Chung said the incident is one of the very few times he could recall an assault against a realtor in the

Police identify “person of interest” Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com It appears Coquitlam Mounties have caught a break in the case of an unidentified man wanted for an alleged assault at Lafarge Lake in May. On Thursday, police confirmed a person of interest in relation to the assault has been identified. However, the suspect has not been charged at this point.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung noted the investigation is still ongoing and officers working the file are Sketch of Lafarge Lake still gathering evi- assault suspect dence before laying any charges, if at all.

“We’re satisfied public safety is not at risk in relation to this incident,” he said, adding there have been no further reports of similar assaults at the park since.

Police said the incident began on the evening of May 12 when a family was visiting Town Centre Park. The daughter wandered off for a few moments during the visit, but as the family was leaving the park, police said the child told the dad a stranger had “touched her private parts.”

The RCMP was quickly dispatched to the park to find the suspect, but came away empty handed. In the days that followed Mounties increased patrols around the popular city lake.

A week later, RCMP released a sketch of the man believed to be behind the assault in hopes of generating tips from the public.

The suspect was described as being in his 30s, possibly of Caucasian or Middle Eastern descent, with black hair. Chung said the identification of the man was made possible by both tips from the public and police work.

Police would not reveal the suspect’s age or where he lives, adding it will be “some time” before more information is made available to

the public.

Cops collar prolific offender A cache of drugs and guns seized by Coquitlam Mounties has landed a local prolific offender in the slammer.

The local RCMP’s Prolific Target Team (PTT) was on the trail of the local offender when they executed a search warrant at a residence in the northeast part of the city on July 12.

Police seized a large amount of drugs and a firearm, along with stolen mail, identifications, credit cards and vehicles.

James Edward Allan Anger, 43, of Port Coquitlam is facing a number of criminal charges including theft from mail, possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a firearm contrary to an order, and made, possess or offer for sale an identity document.

“This is just another example that proves our crime reduction strategy is an effective tool in reducing crime,” said RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung in a statement.

“Through working together in a concerted effort, our Crime Analysts, PTT investigators and uniformed officers were able to bring this prolific offender to justice.”

Anger has been in custody since July 12.

Home invasion investigated Port Moody police aren’t saying much about a home invasion early Wednesday morning in the Glenayre area of town.

Police were called to a home in the 900-block of Seaforth Way to the report of a home invasion. Once inside, officers found the resident who needed medical attention, but was suffering from non-life threatening injuries. The suspects had already fled from the home.

A press release noted the incident is not random, but few other details were provided.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information about the incident is being asked to contact the Port Moody Police Department at 604-461-3456 or leave a message at the tip line 604-937-1328.

Video of arrest leads to lawsuit

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com An incident involving police outside a Port Moody pub that was caught on video has now become a lawsuit.

Herbert Ramos and Tracey Ferris filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court against the City of Port Moody, the Port Moody Police Department and the Golden Spike Pub. According to the notice of civil claim, the lawsuit alleges officer Ian Morrison assaulted Ramos and is liable for assault and battery, negligence and gross negligence. The claim suggests the City of Port Moody is liable vicariously for the actions of the police officer.

The document, which was filed on July 15, also claims the City is liable to each of the

plaintiffs for wrongful arrest and detention.

The notice of civil claim also alleges the City of Port Moody, Chief Constable Chris Rattenbury, media spokesperson Luke van Winkel, the Golden Spike Pub and the pub’s manager and part owner Cheryl Semenuik are liable in defamation.

The claim also alleges the Golden Spike Pub is liable for malicious prosecution for providing false information about the couple’s conduct to members of the Port Moody Police Department.

None of the allegations have been proven in court. None of the defendants has yet filed a response.

The incident came to light after a video surfaced appearing to show an officer using substantial force during an arrest outside the pub.

In the video, a man who appears to be an officer is seen grabbing another man from behind before slamming him into the ground.

The claim also suggested Ramos, a CTV cameraman, was unable to work for a period of time and suffered a concussion, blurry vision, loss of memory, headaches, impaired balance, loss of concentration, reduce range of motion, stiffness, aching and soft tissue injury from the incident.

The claim said Ferris suffered nervous shock and anxiety disorder as a result of witnessing the incident. The couple also filed an official Police Act complaint in the days after the incident.

The matter has been turned over to the Professional Standards Section of the Port Moody Police Department for investigation.

Police confirm murder-suicide Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It was what neighbours on Cottonwood Avenue had feared before it became official from police.

The couple killed in a house fire the 1100-block of the street last Monday night was a result of a murder-suicide.

It appears to be another tragic result of domestic violence, a story that’s become all too common for Carol MetzMurray, the executive director of Tri-Cities Transitions, a non-profit society providing services to women and families impacted by abuse.

“It’s a story we hear over and over,” she told The TriCities NOW. “We need to be aware that we’re not immune to these kinds of issues, we all need to be aware of it.”

Metz-Murray explained that for women in a violent relationship, it’s often difficult for them to reach out and get help.

In some cases, she said the women become so isolated they don’t even see that it is happening to them.

Though women are encouraged to leave their abusive relationships behind and use

what social services are in place, Metz-Murray also suggested the community needs to step forward to help curb domestic violence.

“I know it’s difficult, I know it’s scary, I know it’s frightening for people, but at the same time, how do we keep

We need to be aware that we’re not immune to these kinds of issues...

–Carol Metz-Murray Tri-Cities Transitions

a life going instead of what’s happened?” she asked.

Earlier this week, the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said the autopsy on the couple from the home is complete.

The names of the two dead were released as Benyoucef and Agnes Assen.

IHIT said Benyoucef murdered Agnes before lighting the fire.

Coquitlam Fire & Rescue were originally called to the Cottonwood home before midnight July 8 to the report of a structure fire. That’s when crews found the bodies of a man and a woman inside. By Tuesday morning, the IHIT had been called in to assist in the investigation.

Neighbours who spoke to The Tri-Cities NOW told a story of a family in tatters.

According to neighbours, a family of five had apparently been living in the home since 1999.

Inside lived the couple with three kids, the eldest, a daughter, who was said to be in Regina for RCMP training, while two younger boys were described as being in their late teens or early 20s.

The house was also home to a French daycare run by the mom.

But neighbours heard the woman had filed for divorce a few months ago, and the husband and two of the kids were living in a separate home nearby.

Several residents in the area said the husband appeared to take the split hard.

The house had also recently been sold.

Metz-Murray said her organization is seeing an

increase in the number of domestic abuse situations.

Though she is quick to point out domestic abuse has no boundaries, she suggested the ethnically diverse cultures of the Tri-Cities brings a whole set of challenges for families.

While Metz-Murray noted the issues behind a violent relationship are complicated, she wants women to know there are resources out there for them to get help.

“There is protection to get away, at least that is a little bit of space,” she said.

LISA KING/NOW

Police ruled that this Cottonwood Avenue home was the scene of a murder-suicide.

Survey shows we don’t know better

I

t is astounding, in this day and age, with so much information so easily available to so many people, that one in five Canadians still believe women who are sexually assaulted effectively “asked for it.”

Nearly a fifth of Canadians, according to a survey conducted by the Canadian Women’s Foundation, still believe victims of sexual assault provoke their attackers through the clothing they wear or by their behaviour in public. It appears, according to the survey’s disturbing results, that many Canadians believe the clothing women wear or the alcohol they consume, are the real culprits in sexually motivated attacks — not the men who molest or rape their victims.

The Canadian Women’s Foundation study revealed 19 per cent of the respondents believe women encourage sexual assault by getting drunk, 15 per cent said flirting gives men an excuse to commit sexual assault, and 17 per cent maintained that short skirts provoke sexual assaults.

It’s the old “men simply can’t help themselves, so women ought to know better” defence.

Perhaps most disturbing are the figures that indicate some of the most archaic and misdirected understanding of the causes of sexual assault appeared among survey respondents aged between 18 and 34 years.

In addition to the physical trauma they endure, sexual assault victims commonly have long-term and serious psychological effects that may include depression, self-blame, shame, fear and anger — all feelings that may be fueled and exacerbated by the stupid and misguided beliefs of many of their own friends and relatives.

More men need to try harder to understand their mothers and sisters and daughters and to understand themselves better. And they need to “man up” when it comes to taking greater responsibility for their own actions.

Old stories a familiar story

T

he gems of information they contain set my heart to racing.

But not the front page stories — or at least, not usually the nut of the stories contained in the headlines.

It’s the background noise that I find most fascinating. That’s the stuff that gives you a real feel for what people did and how they felt — and sometimes, what they fell for.

The older the newspaper, the better, although sometimes, it only takes a few years to create a fresh new perspective on an article that must have seemed pretty straight forward at the time.

Just recently, I happened upon a story about the reaction to preparations for a major development. Not so terribly long ago, environmentalists were up in arms about a huge number of large trees being cut down in an untouched tract next to an established neighbourhood.

The “huge” number of trees involved in the clear-cutting operation would not seem huge by Vancouver Island or Interior logging standards. But for the Lower Mainland, a forest constituting several acres would certainly seem “huge” to the city-slickers living next door.

As for the “untouched” nature of the forest, well, certainly it was untouched for long enough for the trees to have re-grown on abandoned farms that had been started after the land was logged a century earlier.

I should caution here, too, that “abandoned” is a bit of an iffy word, in this context.

Actually, much of the land that is being clear-cut and developed throughout the Lower Mainland has had its turn as farmland (usually after taking a turn at being logged first).

That’s why the “large” trees being

cut down these days are actually miniscule compared to the giants that used to populate the entire area, including nearly all of the Fraser Valley that wasn’t under the lake that took up most of the space between Chilliwack and Abbotsford.

There were no “environmentalists” about 100 years ago to protest the draining of Sumas Lake — except for the native peoples who depended on it for their livelihood. But then, they were too primitive to understand the concept of “progress.”

Back to the trees: photos from pre1900 Fraser Valley logging ventures show stumps of trees that rivaled (or surpassed) the giants that today draw tourists from around the world to Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island.

Imagine an entire valley of such trees! Environmentalists swoon at such thoughts, while logging company executives who dare entertain the notion will slip on their drool.

The wealth created by the bounty of silviculture (an excessively kind euphemism for logging) made it possible for farmers to move in and make use of the newly emptied spaces.

Now the wealth shifted to agriculture, and the population grew exponentially, requiring more homes to accommodate

wealth-seekers who could afford to seek wealth beyond the resource-based offerings of the area.

They bought farms and built houses on them — and created a demand for more houses.

Land beneath houses is far more valuable than land beneath farms, and can generally only be afforded by nonfarmers — who let trees grow, to prove the land can’t be farmed and should be developed for housing.

A few decades later, the trees slated to die for the development in question had grown “large” and people living on land that had once been home to giants were dismayed by the tragic loss, until the local council assured them that the trees would be replaced.

And from the vantage point of what was then the future, I can assure you that they were, indeed, all replaced. with houses.

LETTERS NO LOGIC IN MSP MAZE

Residents and taxpayers of British Columbia continue to face difficulties with our health care and MSP. Example of a recent issue which is disturbing — a senior family member was required to have an optical coherence scan of her eye and this was completed on June 22, 2013.

Following the scan, and at the same appointment/day, after reviewing the scan, the specialist noted what could be a serious problem.

The specialist requested follow up in four months to monitor the condition. Here is the problem: MSP rules require two separate appointments on separate days, one for the OC scan, the other with the specialist — unless six months have elapsed since the last scan.

If both appointments occur on the same day before the sixmonth period, only one of the two appointments would be paid

by MSP. The initial OC scan and specialist appointment on the initial appointment of June 22 were on the same day and both appointments were covered by MSP. Why

should this not also be applied to the four-month request?

In order to have coverage for the four-month revisit and test, a separate appointment would be required for the OC scan and a separate appointment for the specialist. Then both would be covered by MSP. This would require eye drops for both visits and a long trek to the specialist’s office, necessitating a driver since eye drops compromise vision for many hours. It could all be attended to by one visit and one billing if MSP was willing.

Interestingly, after six months the OC scan and specialist appointment could be combined and both would be covered by MSP even though both appointments were on the same day. With the current MSP billing practise, the patient must wait longer for a followup appointment and concurrent scan, and possible treatment, which may add significantly to MSP costs.

Or, book two separate appointments on separate days, arrange a driver, and submit to two doses of eye drops which compromise vision for many hours, not to mention the time involved.

How does this treatment meet the premier’s mandate of helping

families, seniors and taxpayers?

It appears that MSP billing practises trump a specialist’s expertise.

CONCERT A HUGE SUCCESS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay, members of city council, staff and volunteers for supporting our fundraising music scholarship concert Students Helping Students on June 15 at Inlet Theatre. With your help and understanding we succeeded in raising $2,000 to be awarded to our young talents.

Here are my stories to cry for: I am 10 years old, having just left an examination, which would determine whether I would be accepted — or not — into a special music school where music lessons were free in my native Bulgaria, seeing my mom outside crying, I only later learned that if I were not accepted she would be unable to pay for any more of my lessons.

Fortunately, I was accepted, and thus my passion for music began.

Here in Port Moody at the [June 15] concert, we awarded two young talents, Edwina Lin and

THE TRI-CITIES NOW | FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2013

Anna Wang, scholarships worth $1,000 apiece, funds generated the previous year at our fundraising concert. Their sincere thanks, and many smiles, were again one of those things you can cry for.

Above all, I must say a big ‘Thank you’ to all my students and their parents for their commitment to fulfilling my dream for a music scholarship.

Our concert participants performed at the highest professional levels and helped raise the $2,000 scholarship for next year. They are: Daniel Deng (Haydn), Patrick Wong (Chopin), Shirley Cha (Grieg concerto and Rachmaninoff), Anna Wang (Prokofiev concerto), Grandy Chu (Gershwin concerto), and guest performers Edwina Lin (Prokofiev) and Jean Emerson (Ravel).

Finally, a special congratulations to Anna Wang, winner of one of the Vancouver Academy of Music scholarships. Anna has been awarded a full tuition scholarship to McGill University’s prestigious Schulich School of Music this fall.

Bravo Anna, your successes make me the most proud teacher; they are certainly one of those things to happily cry for, and yes, these are all my students to die for.

editorial@thenownews.com Life has thrown a lot at Coquitlam’s Jessica Kruger.

At 15 years old she suffered a work-place accident resulting in a broken neck and spinal cord injury leaving her wheelchair bound.

She once believed her injury took away all hopes of her being considered “beautiful,” let alone any chance of living a normal life, and forget about being an athlete or — crazier yet — a model.

But she has. Against all odds, Kruger, 21, is the new face of Lise Watier’s “Something Sweet” perfume, beating out nearly 400 other contestants all scratching and crawling for the same contract.

“Overwhelmed and excited are definitely the two words I’ve been using most to describe how I’m feeling,” Kruger told The Tri-Cities NOW.

“Part of me doesn’t even really believe it’s real yet, but then the other part of me is extremely proud — not necessarily of myself, but rather the community.

The people that voted for me and secured my spot in the top five, and Lise Watier, because they are the ones making my dream possible.”

An online application was followed by 15,000 votes cast in her favour, leading to the final seal of approval by a panel of judges. Kruger was then flown to Montreal to receive the full model treatment.

“In my head that means that thousands of people are ready to see somebody with a disability as a model — how cool is that,” she said.

Kruger made headlines back in June when she put forward her application to Lise Watier.

Since then, people flocked by the thousands to cast their ballot online

Reap that July bounty

H

arvesting is usually July’s top occupation in the garden — and the first pickings often include garlic scapes.

These are the stalks and bulbil heads that sprout from hard neck garlic and if you pick them immediately after they form, they’re sweetly pungent and tenderly crisp.

They can be fried or used in soups, dips or pasta sauce.

It is important to get to them fast because they get stringy later — and they should be removed whether you eat them or not.

If they’re not picked the plant develops tiny bulbs in the scapes. This steals energy from the garlic cloves which end up smaller than normal.

Potatoes that were missed in last year’s harvest are sometimes left to grow on.

These should be flowering about now and are a great source of early potatoes.

In many gardens some of this crop is not found either — and the cycle continues.

After an early July harvest, you can be left with a bare garden spot which is needed to plant garlic and/or shallots in October. Some leafy green vegetables such as

BRANCHING OUT Anne Marrison

‘Baron’ corn salad, Giant Red Mustard, and arugula will fit as a quick crop.

An alternative could be a cover crop such as buckwheat or oats. Both enrich the soil and deter weeds. But you should dig it in or cut it down before it goes to seed.

A bare summer bed can be a good place for battling weeds by allowing them to grow, then hoeing them down while they’re still small. An alternative, if we have a dry hot spell, could be solarization under clear plastic for six weeks.

In preparing for summer drought, it can be helpful to plant seedlings in slight depressions in the soil so watering collects around the roots. If you’ve already planted seedlings, a light-plastic container with the bottom cut out can be plunged around the plant so that watering seeps down to the roots.

It’s a lot of work to cut

these containers, but they can last several years. For plants that need the Cadillac treatment, a copper slug tape around the container gives extra protection.

This is also the season to dry herbs on a sunny day when there’s absolutely no moisture on the leaves. They can be dried out in the sunshine and taken in at night, or dried in a slow oven.

The old-fashioned method of herb bunches hanging in kitchens looks quite charming but they do tend to collect dust and spiders webs. So bunches are really best hanging upside down in a snugly fastened paper bag.

There are a number of edible things: dandelions, sorrel, chickweed and lambs quarters that are trouble if they’re encouraged around a vegetable bed. But it’s hard to have too much dill or parsley since they have so many uses.

Once you’ve let one or two dill or parsley plants go to seed and dry, you can scatter as much as you wish. Dill and parsley also attract hordes of beneficial pollinating insects and this benefits other plants.

Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca.

At the end of March there were 362 people in B.C. waiting for a corneal transplant. While the numbers for eye donors are going up, there is some misinformation about who can donate, according to Shannon Leonard of Eye Bank of British Columbia.

“This is something lots of people can do,” Leonard said. “Lots of people don’t realize that, for instance, even if they have bad eyesight they

can donate, in a lot of cases.”

Leonard says in many cases if a person is rejected to be an organ donor, they can still be an eye donor.

Even people with cancer can donate in most cases, Leonard added.

What’s interesting to note is that from a single eye donor, portions of the eye can be used to make up to six separate grafts on a recipient.

With its sporty aerodynamic design, the 2014 Mazda6 takes the car manufacturer’s ‘zoom-zoom’ appeal another step. out of its hybrids). Mazda could not take on that significant risk so they applied themselves to improving conventional technologies.

The SKYACTIV-G is a 2.5-litre, inline four cylinder engine, running on regular gasoline and boasting a diesel-like 13:1 compression ratio.

This results in 184-hp and 185 ftlbs of torque, which compared to

the old engine are improvements of eight per cent and 11 per cent, respectively.

Speaking of diesel, Mazda has designed an engine to run on that too. However, it’s been so popular in Japan and Europe that we won’t see one here until later this year when production can catch up with the demand.

Forsaking complicated, and therefore expensive dual-clutch transmissions, Mazda instead focused on making the best conventional transmissions available.

Interior features include solid head and knee room and plenty of elbow space.

Standard equipment includes heated front seats, 5.8-inch colour touchscreen audio display and Bluetooth.

New design technology gives Mazda6 a boost CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 shifts. Both are lightweight and combine well with the new engine to deliver segment topping gas-only fuel economy.

The SKYACTIV thinking applied to the chassis means the suspension was calibrated to provide Mazda’s patented ‘zoom-zoom’ driving dynamics, but not at the expense of comfort.

The steering response and limited amount of body roll make the Mazda6 the most engaging car to drive in this class. Drive the Mazda6 back to back with the likes of Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, and you will quickly realize that the driving enjoyment only belongs to the Mazda — though the new-for-2013 Honda Accord comes pretty close.

Environment The theme of improving economy through simplification continues into the cabin. It is very driver-oriented with all important controls logically placed and highly visible. Most surfaces are soft to the touch and the attention to detail is evident.

The front seats are supportive yet offer plenty of elbow room. Head and knee-room is also adequate, though not super generous in comparison to crossovers that also compete in this segment — they offer better interior packaging than sedans in general.

The Mazda6 offers more rear legroom than most in this class. And despite the low roofline, rear headroom is also sufficient for an average adult.

While cargo space is actually less than the out-going model, overall capacity is still quite good and the shape is usable and practical.

The new exterior design makes access a little restricted, although the 60/40 folding rear seats do create a rather large pass-through.

On the infotainment front, the Mazda6 doesn’t feature anything terribly innovative. A 5.8-inch colour touchscreen displays the audio, phone and navigation functions.

This can be controlled through the optional Commander Switch, which operates much like BMW’s iDrive. Radar cruise control, blind spot monitoring and forward obstruction warning are notable new options.

2013 Dodge Dart GT shown.§

Features Ranging in price from $24,495 to $32,195, the Mazda6 is available in three trim levels, GX, GS, and GT. Standard equipment on the GX includes heated front seats, 5.8-inch colour touchscreen audio display, Bluetooth, keyless entry, push-button ignition, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, dynamic stability control, and traction control system.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include leather trimmed upholstery, 8-way power adjustable driver seat, leather-like door trim, navigation system, SiriusXM satellite radio, Smart City brake support, forward obstruction warning, radar cruise control, and a lane departure warning system.

Fuel efficiency numbers for the six-speed manual transmission are 8.1L/100km city and 5.3L/100km highway. The six-speed automatic sees 7.6L/100km city and 5.1L/100km highway.

Thumbs Up The SKYACTIV technology provides excellent fuel economy without having to pay the added premium for a hybrid. The styling also means you will stand out from the crowd.

After paying the man, we drove to our destination and back to the East Coast with no problems. A friend of mine said that what the guy told me was impossible — a loose ground wire wouldn’t stop the car from starting. What is your opinion?

— Charlie

CLICK & CLACK

Tom & Ray Magliozzi RAY: A loose ground cable certainly can cause your car not to start, but not in the way that your car didn’t start.

TOM: If the ground cable was so loose that it was no longer making contact with the battery post, the car would do nothing when you turned the key. You said your car cranked but then failed to start. We know battery power was getting to the starter motor. That means the ground was connected.

RAY: So something else caused your car not to start.

The truck mechanic did the right thing by checking for trouble codes. It’s often the case that if a problem occurs even just a few times a code won’t be stored.

TOM: And unless there’s a code, once the car is restarted, you really lose your diagnostic opportunity.

RAY: If it happens again, you’ll need someone to rescan for codes. If none are found, then he’ll need to work on the car when it’s actually in this “non-start” mode.

TOM: If I had to take a wild guess without looking at the car, I’d suspect the crank angle sensor.

RAY: We’ve seen the crank angle sensor misbehave under very hot conditions, and that’s what you were dealing with. You stopped the car and shut off its cooling functions, while you got gas.

That’s what we call a “hot soak” condition: the engine temperature spikes after the car is turned off.

TOM: I’m guessing that the heat caused an open circuit in the crank angle sensor.

The sensor then sent an erroneous signal to the car’s computer, and that’s what prevented it from starting.

RAY: After you had it towed, it cooled off enough to restart. If you’ve really had no problems since, you could simply continue to drive the car and assume that it won’t be a problem again.

TOM: But if it’s causing you to live in fear, or you’re planning another long, steamy trip, then you can consider replacing the crank angle sensor for a couple of hundred bucks.

Summer presents challenges for our pets

A

long with warm summer nights come barbecues, campfires and fireworks.

While the boom of pyrotechnics may be thrilling for us, it is not as enjoyable for many of our furry friends.

Fireworks can cause animals to panic, putting both pets and people in danger.

Don’t console your anxious pet While it is natural to want to comfort your pet, it is better to use a bright, cheerful voice to send a message that things are fine. Avoid saying things like, “it’s OK” or “don’t be scared” in a soft or sympathetic voice. This only reinforces your pet’s fearful behaviour.

–Lorie Chortyk When dogs and cats are frightened they are more likely to run away from their homes, jump out of open windows or dart into traffic.

Stressed pets can also behave out of character — even scratching or biting people. With summer underway, the BC SPCA strongly recommends that people plan the safety of their household pets during fireworks

An indoor pet is a happy pet on fireworks night. To help muffle the noise and prevent animals from escaping, remember to close the windows of your home and draw the curtains.

Some pets do well left in a separate room with the radio or television on to mask the sound of fireworks. Be sure to leave plenty of toys in the room for your pet so that he doesn’t think he’s being isolated as a punishment.

Identification Make sure your pet is wearing identification. Dogs and cats may try to run away if they feel threatened.

Clear, current identification is your best chance to have them returned to you.

Leave home without them

While you may think it would be fun to bring your dog to the festivities, he or she may not share your view.

She is gentle and affectionate and gets along well with everyone she meets. Siren has mostly kept to herself but doesn’t seem concerned about the other cats.

• ANIMAL: CAT

• BREED: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR • SEX: NEUTERED MALE, ADULT

Pistachio is a handsome boy with amazing blue eyes and a curious personality. He was thrilled to get out of his kennel and into our big cat enclosure. He is an affectionate cat when he’s not busy chasing bugs or watching the birds. Pistachio seems to get along fine with the other cats.

LYNX

• ANIMAL: CAT • BREED: SIAMESE • SEX: SPAYED FEMALE, ADULT

Lynx is a sweet girl who must have a guardian angel. She was found in rough shape in a stairwell, but is is now healed and ready for her forever home. Lynx is extremely friendly and affectionate and loves to cuddle. Lynx is young, likely around 1-2 years old and loves to play and chase toys. She is doing very well with the other cats and would do fine in a multi cat home.

We often find her cuddled up in her house although she’s starting to venture out more.Ashlee loves to have her cheeks and chin rubbed and even rolls over a bit for a belly rub. She would do best in a quiet home with adults only, as children would overwhelm her. Ashlee doesn’t interact much with the other cats, but would be fine in a home with a cat with a similar temperament.

• ANIMAL: CAT

• BREED: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR • SEX: NEUTERED MALE, SENIOR Harrison is an older gent who was in a bit of rough shape when he first arrived. After having quite a few teeth removed he is starting to feel much better.

He is a gentle and quiet cat who would do best in a quiet home, where he can relax and enjoy his twilight years. He has been recovering in his own private suite so we haven’t seen much interaction but he would likely be fine with another older cat.

• ANIMAL: RABBIT • SEX: NEUTERED MALE, ADULT

Ping was pals with Kit and Kat until recently when they got into a bit of a scrap. So now Ping is on his own and we hope this will help him find a new home quicker. Ping is an active little guy with lots of personality, and we would love to see him in a home with some rabbit experience.

BC SPCA holds adult cat adoption sale

T

he BC SPCA is holding a special adoption promotion featuring half-price adult cat adoption fees from July 18 to 31 in response to the overwhelming number of felines in care at its shelters.

Currently there are 743 adult cats being cared for at SPCA facilities across the province.

“The BC SPCA takes in more than 15,000 homeless felines each year and right now our shelters are filled to capacity,” says Bob Busch, general manager of operations for the BC SPCA. “We always see an influx of animals at our shelters during the summer season and this year is no exception. We hope this special promotion will be an incentive for people who have thought through their decision to adopt a cat and are just waiting for the right time.”

Busch says people who adopt cats from the SPCA are getting exceptional value, even without a special promotion.

“The BC SPCA’s average cost to care for a cat during its stay is $784, much higher than the actual adoption fee.

“Our costs include vaccinations, spaying or neutering, an identification tattoo or microchip, preventative treatment for internal and external para-

sites, any medical care or rehabilitation required, daily welfare monitoring, sheltering and feeding.”

While the goal of the promotion is to find loving homes for as many adult cats as possible, all of the usual adoption criteria will apply.

“We want to make sure that the animals are a right fit for their new home and that their needs will be met,” notes Busch.

This special adoption promotion will also include 50 per cent off rabbit adoption fees to help To be directed find homes for the to the BC SPCA’s nearly 80 rabbits adoption website, presently in BC download the free SPCA care.

A first, 58 years in the making

Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com

S

he admits there were some tough times.

Opposing players would boast that girls can’t hit as hard as boys, that they couldn’t play the game at the same level.

Like a callous on her conscious, Coquitlam’s Tamara Derby toughed it out and outlasted many of those same boys who bragged and teased.

In many ways, she was the last girl standing.

Derby received an award from Coquitlam Little League last month, celebrating the fact that she is the first female to stick with baseball and play amongst the boys from t-ball to Big League, an eight-year journey that she has no regrets about.

“It was a great experience and kind of cool to be the only girl in Coquitlam Little League’s 58-year history,” said Derby, 18.

“I give a lot of credit to my parents — they kind of pushed me through the last few years.”

But to say it was a hard slog would be an injustice, she noted.

The camaraderie with her teammates, like most team sports, was an essential part of playing. The challenge of proving the doubters and whiners wrong was mustard on the hot dog.

Her first exposure to the sport came, like for many pre-teen kids, with some prodding by her parents. But she had the interest early.

“Baseball is my favourite — it just kind of came easy to me,” she recalled. “I also played lacrosse and soccer, but I really enjoy baseball more.”

Nearly every year, she was the lone girl in the league. At the age of 11 she got a chance to take the glove and bat and play with other girls at the female hardball provincial team tryouts.

“That was a lot of fun.”

In her junior year, she was one of two girls in the division, and this year was the only female in the senior group. No token player, Derby excelled and was named a senior A all-star.

As a member of B.C.’s bantam girls team in 2008, the infielder/pitcher was a big part of the province’s silver medal.

She has also earned a spot for this year’s nationals, which run Aug. 26 to 30 in Richmond.

Her attitude, along with Derby’s skill, made her an easy player to coach, said senior league skipper Bruce Michael.

“She was always a maintenance-free player — on time, prepared and hustling, always ready to do whatever was asked of her,” noted Michael. “Although she is very quiet and quite shy, that’s a bit deceiving. She is a very good player (at) second base, shortstop and pitcher. She was less aggressive than the boys, which made her a patient hitter (so) she would make opposing pitchers throw a strike before she’d start to get after

SPORTS SHORTS POCO GRAPPLER GETS GOLDEN

Tom Argue led a strong contingent of PoCo-based judokas into last weekend’s national judo championships in Richmond.

The Port Coquitlam native captured gold in the 81-kilogram bracket for those between the ages of 45 and 49 in the master’s division.

Fellow PoCo participants nabbed silverware of the silver variety as well, including: Teresa Plesner (under 40, 70+ kg) and Eric Cherneff (40 to 44, 100+ kg).

Picking up bronze was Mike Crandell in the 55 to 59 age group (100+ kg) and Kristi Roots, who took third in the under21 category for those competing under 70 kg.

In all, Team B.C. participants netted 47 medals at the event.

LISA KING/NOW

Tamara Derby was recently recognized by Coquitlam Little League for being the first female to play amongst the boys from t-ball to Big League, an eight-year journey that recently wrapped up. a pitch.”

In fact, when Derby stepped into the batter’s box, the pressure was often hottest on the pitcher.

“Getting a teenage boy to throw a strike to a girl in front of all of his teammates was often quite a challenge for opposing pitchers,” said Michael. “No teenage boy wants to give up a hit to a girl, which Tamara used to her advantage and picked up her share of walks.”

She admits that as the boys got bigger and stronger and began to throw with greater speed, the intensity levels rose.

“I was struggling a little when I came up to big league because suddenly they were throwing a lot harder,” said Derby. “After I watched and got to practice and started picking

up on the pitches, it was OK.” Still, she couldn’t ignore all the chatter from the other dugout.

“You’ve got to show people that when they put you down that you are better than that, and that’s what I tried to do.”

Coming into this season, she knew this was the end. A student at Douglas College and a Centennial alumna, Derby said the friends and fun made it all great. Those who didn’t like her standing out at second or short or on the pitcher’s mound, or with a bat in her hand, were not going to dissuade her.

“There were a lot of guys on other teams who said girls can’t hit as well as boys, they couldn’t pitch… In the end it was nice to shock them with what I could do.”

LEW LAYS DOWN THE LAW AT B.C. TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS Coquitlam’s Jasmine Lew claimed top-two placements in a pair of marquee sprints at last weekend’s provincials.

Lew, 13, took first in the 200-metre with a time of 26.66, and claimed second in the 100m in a time of 12.83.

Fellow Coquitlam native Nico Depaoli, 13, claimed first in the long jump (4.81m); second in the 100m (12.81), 200m (26.98) and 800m (2:22.49) and third in the 300m (40:84).

Jamal Mensah, 12, capped off an undefeated season in the 80m hurdles, taking gold in 13.53. He captured third in the 300m (45.94) and 100m (13.74), as well as gold alongside Depaoli and fellow South Fraser Track and Field Club teammates Jaheim Minott and Jesaiah Penson-McCoy in the 4x100 (55.62) and the distance medley (3:04.98).

Other South Fraser club results include: Jade Krieser, fourth in 300m (44.91); seventh in 100m (13.88) and seventh in 800m (2:34.10) and Bronson Depaoli, 12th in 60m (11.01)

and 12th in shot put (6.5 m).

Coquitlam Cheetahs athletes also surged to significant heights: 10 gold, three silver and four bronze medals.

Jarrett Chong led the medal parade, capturing four golds in javelin, shot put, discus and hammer throw. His winning hammer throw placed in the top 10 in B.C. history.

Ten-year-old Cameron Slaymaker claimed gold in the 1,000 m, shot put and javelin, and silver in the 60m hurdles.

He rounded out his day with bronze medals in the long jump and discus.

Evan Smith, 13, nabbed golds in the discus and javelin, on top of a silver in the hammer throw. Amin Shahsavar, 13, nailed gold in shot put and a bronze in each of the 100m and long jump competitions.

Liam Espedido, 11, rounded out the medal haul with a silver medal in the high jump.

Time is not on the side of the Coquitlam Adanacs.

The club sits three points back of the final Western Lacrosse Association playoff spot with just four games left.

LISA KING/NOW

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE: Coquitlam Major A player Jonah Lee makes contact during last week’s 11/12 Majors District tournament in Coquitlam. The local side finished in third place after dropping their semifinal contest 5-2 to Whalley on Sunday, July 14.

The Adanacs get at it this weekend against Nanaimo at home on Saturday and against Maple Ridge on the road one day later.

Saturday’s home game is set for 7 p.m.

been good to get to know one another away from the rink as well.”

On paper, the Victoria matchup doesn’t look to be the best for Coquitlam.

Of the club’s four losses this season, two came at the hands of the Shamrocks (86 and 15-8). Coquitlam won the other contest 12-6, and goes into the series with the regular season’s best defensive stats.

Victoria, on the other hand, tallied the most goals for in the league and was the lone club to eclipse the 300-goal plateau.

The Rocks also had three of the league’s top-10 scorers (Jesse King, Chris Wardle and Devon Casey), compared to the one Adanac in the top 10, Chase McIntyre.

That statistical disparity doesn’t concern Doddridge, who is a firm believer that the “defence wins championships” mantra will see his club through to the league finals.

“If you take care of the goals going in your net, you’re ahead of the game,” he said. “We pride ourselves on our defence, our short man, and keeping the ball out a bit more than putting the ball in.”
