COQUITLAM-MAILLARDVILLE RESULTS UP IN THE AIR

jkurucz@thenownews.com Coquitlam-Maillardville continues to be a swing riding in every sense of the term.

Just two weeks after seemingly pulling off a big local upset in the provincial election, Liberal candidate Steve Kim is now on the outside looking in — as of Tuesday, NDPer Selina Robinson was ahead by 35 votes.

The new numbers came to light after absentee votes and mail-in ballots were tabulated earlier this week.

Robinson now sits with 9,928 votes, compared to the 9,893 ballots cast for Kim. “I’m overwhelmed [and] overjoyed,” Robinson said Tuesday. “I’m feeling like I can breathe again. The feeling of needing to throw up has passed. Finally.”

The vote tally on election night saw Kim with 9,044 votes, compared to the 8,939 votes for Robinson, a difference of 105 votes.

A judicial recount will now be conducted, as the threshold of 43 votes has been met.

18 months in jail for baby’s death FORMER DAYCARE OPERATOR SENTENCED AFTER BOY DIES AT UNLICENSED FACILITY

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Maria McFerran wiped away tears as she was led away in handcuffs from a Port Coquitlam provincial courtroom Monday to begin her jail sentence.

A provincial court judge sentenced the former Coquitlam daycare operator to 18 months in prison following her guilty plea last fall to criminal negligence causing death after a one-year-old boy died in her care.

Justice David Stone cited case law and circumstance in his sentencing decision, noting any sentence wouldn’t rectify the tragedy that occurred.

He also noted changes to the Criminal Code ensured he must deliver a sentence that involves some jail time.

The Crown had asked for a jail sentence of two to three years, while the defense had asked for six to 12 months.

McFerran was charged in connection with the death of Arto Howley, a one-year-old infant at her Rattle-N-Roll daycare, on Jan. 17, 2011.

According to an agreed-upon statement of facts presented in court, the 49-year-old Port Coquitlam woman placed the infant in a car seat with the padding removed and left him unattended for more than an hour in a bedroom.

When she returned Arto was unresponsive and slumped over in the car seat.

McFerran removed the infant from the car seat and took him downstairs to her daughter.

She put the car seat in the garage and then called 911 seven minutes later.

Arto died, and the cause of death was ruled

Jeff and Victoria Howley speak to media at a previous court appearance for Maria McFerran, who was sentenced to 18 months in jail Monday for the death of Arto Howley, who was accidentally strangled by a strap on a car seat while in her care. strangulation from one of the straps on the car seat. It was the one-year-old’s first day at the Shaughnessy Street daycare.

When police arrived, McFerran told investigators she had last seen the infant an hour earlier in a crib.

However, the next day, McFerran changed her story, confessing to police she had put Arto in the car seat.

Though the unlicensed facility was only supposed to have two children, on the morning of Arto’s death, six other children were in the care of McFerran and her daughter.

In reading his decision, Judge Stone said both families have been affected in a lifechanging way, also noting McFerran’s career as a daycare operator is over.

Arto’s family, some of whom were in court

to hear the decision, did not want to speak to the media following the proceedings.

However, provincial Crown prosecutor Jay Fogel did indicate the family was disappointed To watch a by the judge’s sentence. video of the “I think it’s fair to Crown counsel say they would have speaking about been looking to have Ms. McFerran spend a the case, scan longer period in jail,” he this page with told the media from the the Layar app. steps of the courthouse.

But Fogel added the judge covered all of the relevant principals and case law and suggested the sentence was within the range for the offense.

When asked whether the sentence would serve as a precedent, the Crown lawyer said it isn’t the court’s job to provide one, but rather to deal with the case at hand.

“Obviously, the hope is that people take this into account when they’re looking for daycare to make sure that they’re looking for licensed daycares, or if it’s an unlicensed day care, they’re not looking after more children than they can comfortably look after,” he said.

Following an earlier court appearance in April, Arto’s mom Victoria told the media no punishment could fit the crime.

In a statement issued at the time, she also called for changes to the daycare system, specifically suggesting the system should be set up so families have easy access to information to make decisions about a daycare.

Firefighters learn mud rescue techniques MOVE COMES AFTER RESCUE LAST YEAR Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Last summer, Port Moody firefighters were summoned to an unusual call.

A woman was stuck waist deep in mud, after venturing onto the tidal flats off Alderside Drive.

Unfortunately, it was not the kind of rescue the department was really prepared for or trained to handle.

While there was a successful conclusion, the entire operation took more than an hour.

But after a little bit of research and even less cash, Port Moody Fire-Rescue is now prepared to handle the next muddy call.

Last week, the department was out on the flats performing some mud rescue exercises and testing out some very simple equipment.

“It’s inevitable someone is going to get stuck out there. We just want to be better prepared for it,” said Port Moody fire chief Remo

No leads in sex assault COQUITLAM RCMP SAY INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGED INCIDENT ‘A PRIORITY’

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Coquitlam Mounties don’t appear to be any closer to finding the suspect in an alleged sexual assault of a six-year-old girl at Lafarge Lake earlier this month.

Since the release of a sketch of the possible suspect last week, RCMP note there have been no significant tips or leads in the case.

However, Cpl. Jamie Chung said the investigation remains a top priority for the detachment.

“It’s also important to remember that we have no more reported incidents after that, so we don’t know what it means at this point — it could just be a random event,” he said.

“But nevertheless it is a priority for us and we want to identify him and to interview him as quickly as possible.”

Police said the incident began on the evening of May 12 when a young 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.”

Police were quickly dispatched to the park to find the suspect, but after an extensive search, turned up nothing. In the days that followed, Mounties increased patrols around the popular city lake, but that effort also failed to turn up a suspect.

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

Police pointed out the young child was not

School District 43 also distributed the RCMP press release to parents in an effort to help police find the suspect.

Bears, interface fires, transit covered in plan CoNT’D FROM P. 6

bear conflicts are also contained within the plan. Bear resistant bins may be built into the sides of some residences with latches that keep them both secure and odorfree. Fencing along riparian areas and next to schools will also be in place, while the use of clear-span bridges and culverts will be used to avoid wildlife collisions on the roads.

Transportation plans — specifically parking and transit services — were seen as somewhat flawed by some councillors, with Couns. Brent Asmundson, Mae Reid and Hodge asking for more flexibility in parking regulations.

As for transit services, Reid suggested that in the absence of any consistent bus routing, that the city examine the possibility of using private transportation firms in the area.

“I don’t see transportation up there, except by goat, for many years,” she said jokingly.

The risk of interface wildfires will be managed by a series of policies: the use of open spaces, trails and roads to provide a fuel break between residential areas and the forest edge; encouraging developers to remove flammable vegetation between new buildings and forested edges and ensuring that the road network is built to provide adequate access for fire and evacuation vehicles.

While the bylaw portion of the plan was passed Monday night, preliminary plans — complete with huge financial projections — around servicing requirements and civic facilities were laid out during Monday’s council in committee meeting.

“The plus side is that we’re going to get it, it’s going to be new, it’s going to be where we want it,” Hodge said. “The downside is that we’re starting basically with nothing in there. We have to put this all in from square one.”

That process laid out about $159 million in overall costs and of that total, about $119 can be recuperated through development cost charges.

That money would be spent on utilities, sewers and transportation network costs.

The remaining $40 million, on the other hand, would be devoted towards things like a gym, indoor swimming pool, library, multi-purpose meet-

capital borrowing, utility fees, community amenity contributions (CACs), density bonus funding, and contributions from senior governments.

ing space and a community policing station. That money would come from sources including private sector development, capital funding,

I think we ought to be planning with costs in front of us.”

The bylaw outlining the plan will now be referred to a public hearing.

Stewart said. “This is a much improved process. Planning without costs is dreaming.

It’s almost guess work. I don’t think we ought to be guessing,

Partnering with other private entities — the YMCA — are other potential options.

Don’t think your vote doesn’t count

T

he only way your vote doesn’t count is if you don’t cast one.

That became apparent this week, as NDP candidate Selina Robinson surged ahead of her Liberal opponent in Coquitlam-Maillardville, Steve Kim, by 35 votes.

“I’m overwhelmed [and] overjoyed,” Robinson said Tuesday. “I’m feeling like I can breathe again. The feeling of needing to throw up has passed. Finally.”

For Kim, the situation has turned from elation to caution.

“The only thing in my head right now is the fact that roller coaster rides are always full of excitement and we do have one more corner to take,” he said. “I realize that it’s a bit of a hurdle, but the process is there. I do have to wait.”

Coquitlam-Maillardville has a history of close races.

In 2005, NDPer Diane Thorne defeated Liberal Richard Stewart by 531 votes. In 2009, Thorne won the seat again, that time against Liberal Dennis Marsden, by 668 votes.

But 35 votes is the closest race we’ve seen in a long time.

While Robinson and Kim will have a stressful few weeks waiting for the results of a judicial recount, we wonder how many residents — of either political stripe — now wish they’d cast a ballot instead of sitting this one out.

According to Elections BC, only 50 to 52 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot in each riding during the provincial election. The rest, presumably, didn’t care enough to make the effort.

If they were Liberal supporters in Coquitlam-Maillardville who didn’t show up because they were convinced there’d be an NDP sweep — as those misleading polls indicated — they’ve learned the hard way that each vote really does count.

AIRCARE HEAD RESPONDS TO FEE CONCERNS I’d like take this opportunity to address Elwin Mowry’s letter of May 24 concerning the AirCare test fee.

AirCare is required by the Motor Vehicle Act to recover the full cost of delivering the program without incurring a deficit or profit. The test fee cannot be set any higher than what is needed to cover the program’s total operating expenses, and revenues generated cannot be applied to any other purpose.

Many motorists believe they are paying for “futures” similar to Autoplan insurance when they have their AirCare test. The AirCare test fee is designed to pay for the cost of delivering the program, and not for a period of AirCare “coverage.” Although the current fee structure of $23 for an annual test and $45 for a biennial test represents a roughly equal annual cost for affected motorists, they are paying for a service — an emissions inspection — and not for a time period of AirCare validity. There is no unused portion of AirCare eligibility, and therefore no requirement to prorate the fee.

When then-Environment Minister Terry Lake formally announced the decision to end AirCare for light-duty vehicles, he encouraged TransLink to seek a reduction of the $45 biennial test fee to the “extent practical” for the final year of the program only. AirCare’s duty to recover the full costs of the program without deficit financing will determine the extent of this fee reduction, if any.

More opposition for Clark?

A

s Premier Christy Clark prepares her B.C. Liberal government for its fourth term in power, she may be thinking she’ll be facing a political opposition that is spent, demoralized and likely about to be consumed by internal strife.

But while that may describe the shattered New Democratic Party, Clark would be wise to realize opposition to her government can take the form of other entities.

And that’s where a couple of public sector unions come in.

Both the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the unionized support staff in the K12 education system (made up primarily of CUPE locals) may be in a position to take job action — up to and including an all-out strike — in the fall.

Clark has re-issued her idea of a 10year contract with B.C.’s teachers, and has gone a further step by formally making it her government’s position at the negotiating table.

The 10-year plan was largely dismissed when Clark first floated it some months ago, but that’s because it seemed part of her ongoing election campaign and not representative of actual government policy.

But now that she has won a mandate from the voters, the 10-year contract proposal has to be taken more seriously.

Of course, that doesn’t make it any easier to achieve at the bargaining table.

Details haven’t been made public, but I suspect the government’s proposal will include some kind of wage indexing to ensure teachers get at least the average of public sector union wage increases every year of the contract, plus some kind of guaranteed funding increase to address class size and composition issues.

As well, look for the government

VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey

wanting more “flexibility” to be incorporated in the system, with the argument that flexibility will allow for savings to be realized, with those savings passed on in turn to teachers and the issues they deem most important.

It will be an interesting set of negotiations, but I have a hard time believing the B.C. Teachers’ Federation leadership will sign such a long-term deal.

The length of that contract could sap the union leadership’s power and influence.

This brings us to an interesting question: will the B.C. Liberal government impose a 10-year deal if one can’t be freely negotiated?

As much as some members of the government caucus might want to do just that, I doubt the courts would allow such a long deal to be imposed on a collective bargaining process (but a fiveyear contract may be a different story).

Still, it’s clear the B.C. Liberals are intent on trying a radically different approach in this round of talks with the BCTF. Just days after the election, they bailed on the current set of negotiations, even though the union said progress was being made, in favour of shifting talks towards the 10-year plan.

As for the unionized support staff, they’re looking for a wage increase in the neighbourhood of two per cent a year.

Most of their locals have already taken strike votes, and Vancouver Sun education reporter Janet Steffenhagen reports the rest should do so by the end of next month.

This sets the stage for a possible confrontation between the unions and the B.C. Liberal government in the fall.

Of course, it’s quite likely the government will simply impose a contract on both unions if they can’t be freely negotiated and if job action becomes problematic in schools.

Nevertheless, this situation could be Premier Christy Clark’s first real test as an elected premier with a mandate.

It is imperative that her government delivers its budget with its projected surplus if it wants to establish credibility when it comes to budget-making.

This means there is very little money for wage increases in the education sector (school boards say there are no more savings to be found to fund wage hikes for employees).

So to get to that magic land of a balanced budget, Clark will have to hold firm against two public sector unions with their hands stretched out.

Both unions no doubt expected to be dealing with a newly elected NDP government in contract talks, and therefore probably assumed they were in for an easier ride.

But the upset win by the B.C. Liberals changed many things, not the least of which has to be the expectations of the public sector unions.

They are about to discover the new sheriff in town is actually still the old one, but her hold on the job is much stronger now.

LETTERS EFFORTS SAVE BARRED OWL

It isn’t often something really heartwarming happens, though it did to me recently.

I was on the Trans-Canada Trail near the Coquitlam River with a friend, when a man with a dog asked if we’d seen the owl in the tree nearby. Soon we stopped to rest, when I looked up and saw a barred owl clinging precariously to a branch in a trailside alder.

As a member of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and having volunteered at the Wildlife Rescue Association, I observed it was strange that an owl, largely nocturnal, would appear so close to a pedestrian trail corridor and not fly away when people and dogs approached. It ignored a raven and hummingbird harassing it closely, also unusual. I observed that one wing sat higher than the other, awkwardly held out from the body.

It appeared weak and vulnerable, not like the strong, independent raptor it is, though it’s not unusual for a living, breathing animal to be present near water sources when badly injured.

Knowing I wasn’t equipped to do this alone, I returned home and contacted Wildlife Rescue,

which connected me with a volunteer from OWL in Maple Ridge, who picked me up and brought heavy gloves, thick towels and a carrier to safely transport the injured bird to a veterinarian.

While we stood at the base of the tree, debating how best to retrieve it, Rob Milne, a Coquitlam firefighter, and his dog Duke came along. Rob saw the difficulty and returned shortly with rappelling and protective gear. He climbed another tree, reaching out for the stricken owl, which fainted and fell to the ground.

Laura, the OWL volunteer, quickly donned gloves and retrieved the distressed bird, covering its head and talons with a towel, calming it. She examined its shattered wing, confirming it was already broken before falling.

This owl would have starved to death or become prey to other animals if help hadn’t arrived in time. It’s refreshingly gratifying when people come together to assist those with no voice, though certainly not without support from all of us who thrill to see healthy wildlife living safe in nature.

Thanks to everyone who assisted, giving this beautiful critter a chance to recover and be released

back into its natural habitat one day.

NEW RULES NEEDED FOR CANDIDATES I would just like to comment on the past provincial election. I was interested in voting for the Green Party candidate for CoquitlamMaillardville, so I investigated.

When I tried to get more information about him, I couldn’t find out anything about him. He didn’t show up at the all-candidates debate and, also, there weren’t any signs or commentary from this candidate in the local paper, etc. Yet he managed to garner 1,687 votes. Was he even a real candidate, or even a real person?

The race between the Liberals and the NDP was really tight, and it seems to me he split the vote without having to do anything but be on the ballot. I hate to sound so paranoid, but could this be a new form of vote rigging?

I think we need new conditions about who can be nominated to run for a spot for any party before an election. I think anyone nom-

inated to run should have to have proof of party membership (made available to the public) for at least one year and should be forced to take a crash course in their party’s policies (also made public) to prove that they are serious and will be able to explain their positions during a debate.

If it was the cost of running that put this candidate off and caused his disappearance, I understand that, but debates and answering the media’s questions and knocking on doors are free of charge.

Candidates don’t have to have fancy signs and ads to get the word out about the party’s policies. Also, if the candidate couldn’t continue the campaign for whatever reason, he should have withdrawn instead of leaving his name on the ballot. Finally, the Green Party should have been aware that he was MIA and demanded that he step down.

I don’t want to pick on the Green Party; all of the parties need to know that it doesn’t matter if you are Liberal, NDP, Green, etc. — the public only wants to vote for serious candidates. We only get to vote in B.C. once every four years and we need to make it count.

COQUITLAM WANTS PROVINCE TO RESOLVE IMPASSE John KURUCZ

20% OFF

jkurucz@thenownews.com The decades-old dispute over the Bailey bridge appears to have reached its boiling point.

On Monday, Coquitlam council asked the province to intervene via mediation or arbitration in an effort to ensure that a two-lane bridge be built to replace the existing one-lane Braid Street crossing.

More specifically, the city has applied to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to arrange for a relatively new

process — referred to as a dispute resolution process — to take place.

That process can play out in one of two ways, either through binding or non-binding arbitration.

“It has festered for 20 years and it has created a lot of animosity between businesses that need to use that bridge, including business on the New Westminster side,” Mayor Richard Stewart said in an interview Tuesday.

“I’ve heard from a large number of businesses on the New Westminster side that are completely aghast at the current situation. They can-

the City of New Westminster, along with a timeline to complete a new two-lane bridge

by September.

That stance was not supported by New West council and staff.

The bridge was initially closed in February for about two weeks after a structural engineer’s report cited a “critical fatigue crack.”

A 15-tonne weight restriction was put in place once the bridge re-opened, which “significantly limits the usefulness of the bridge considering the demand for goods movement along the Braid/ United corridor,” according to a city staff report.

The weight restriction also prevents certain fire trucks from using the crossing.

“I really expect that we will end up with someone losing a life because of the inadequate response to our trauma centre [Royal Columbian Hospital]. We can’t get from Coquitlam to our trauma centre sometimes during the day,” Stewart said.

Located within New West city limits on Braid Street, the Bailey bridge was built in 1995 and accommodates about 10,000 vehicles daily, according to a Coquitlam staff report.

not fathom that we, the two governments, have allowed the current situation to persist for 20 years.”

New Westminster Wayne Wright fired back Tuesday afternoon, issuing a statement suggesting the two cities, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Transport Canada and TransLink should hammer out a deal collaboratively.

“We fully understand the frustration of the City of Coquitlam and the thousands of commuters that use this route to pass through our city each day,” Wright said.

“However, given the industrial purpose of this part of New Westminster and the very real safety issues presented by the Bailey bridge feeding a heavily congested corridor with multiple railway crossings, any solution that aims to increase flow of traffic without area improvements simply won’t work.”

New West also passed a resolution of its own Tuesday.

The statement suggests the city cannot “accept additional capacity on the bridge until it can be demonstrated that no adverse affects will occur within the Braid Street Industrial Park or adjacent neighbourhoods.”

In late March, council unanimously endorsed a plan that called for a $1.7-million cost-sharing agreement with

Coquitlam wants VPD to join regional force jkurucz@thenownews.com If you’re going to play regionally, then you should also pay regionally.

That was the crux of the argument behind a Coquitlam council resolution passed Monday that asks all municipalities to participate in regional policing models like the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

The resolution also asks that the province mandate all municipalities sign on, provided the right governance and oversight models are in place.

In an interview Tuesday, Mayor Richard Stewart clarified that the city is not looking to move to a regional or provincial police force entirely.

“The goal here is to capitalize on the fact that so many communities seem to value a regional model of policing,” he said.

“I agree only on serious crime. We don’t need to have a regional police force or a provincial police force when there’s a jay walker.”

A staff report also notes that the city’s RCMP detachment “performs very well from a cost and outcome perspective,” and that a move to a regional police force would need to be “considered very carefully.”

“A number of Lower Mainland District Integrated Teams have been established in order to capitalize on economies of scale for certain policing aspects such as homicide investigation,” the staff report states.

“A weakness with the current model is that not all municipalities are required to participate.”

In Port Moody’s case, the City of the Arts has signed on to an agreement with the Vancouver Police Department (VPD). Under that scenario, the city pays $150,000 annually and assigns an officer to the integrated homicide team.

“Unfortunately, Vancouver is the only one that investigates its own [homicides],” Stewart said.

“It doesn’t participate in the regional police force for homicide. We really need them. If everyone agrees that we should investigate homicides regionally, then let’s everyone investigate homicides regionally.”

Crime rate statistics contained in the city staff report

suggest there was a 32per-cent decrease in crime

in Coquitlam from 2007 to 2011. The city’s own annual

Ipsos Reid survey found in 2012 that 92 per cent of city

residents were satisfied with local policing services.

‘Staycations’ are fun and easy on the wallet M

ake the most of your ‘staycation’ When the economy took a turn for the worse several years ago, many families had to cut costs in order to make ends meet. For many families, that meant leaving vacations on the cutting room !oor. While the economy has rebounded, uncertainty surrounding that comeback has prevailed for many families, who remain hesitant to book a traditional vacation for fear of spending money they might be better off saving.

The sacri"ce of traditional vacations has led many families to embrace the “staycation,” wherein families still take time off to be with one another but do so largely at home rather

than heading off to an exotic locale or resort.

A staycation is a great way for families to rediscover their own communities and spend quality time together without the hustle and bustle of airports or highways. Families who still "nd themselves hesitant to commit to a more traditional vacation can heed the following tips to ensure their staycation is a success.

☛Go out to dinner. Part of the fun of a family vacation is getting to enjoy some nights out on the town. But even if you’re not straying far from home this year, you can still enjoy the cuisine your community has to offer. Dine out a few nights during your time off, making sure to enjoy a few different restaurants instead of

MINI GOLF

relying on one your family frequents throughout the year. Dining out on a weeknight will create the feel of a more traditional vacation, and you might just "nd a new restaurant you and your family love and can revisit in the years to come.

☛Absorb the local culture. The daily grind has a way of making life hectic, and chances are you and your family don’t get to enjoy your own community’s culture throughout the year. Take advantage of the time afforded you by your staycation to soak up all the culture and recreational activities your community has to offer. Visit nearby museums, take in a performance at your local theatre or explore a nearby park, be it for a day of hiking or a more laid back picnic in the sun. This can help everyone reacquaint themselves with the reasons you chose to settle down in your community. ☛Go camping. Just because you’re having a staycation doesn’t mean you have to stay home.

Spend a few nights away from home by taking the family on a camping trip. The fee to stay at a nearby campsite is negligible when compared to the cost of hotel rooms for an entire family, and you won’t spend nearly as much on food because you’ll need to bring your own to the campsite. Camp during the week instead of on the weekends, and you might have more of the campground to yourself. ☛Head for the beach. In its National Coastal Population Report examining population trends from 1970 to 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that 39 percent of the United States population lived

in counties directly on the shoreline. North of the United States, Canadians know they are surrounded by three oceans and have access to thousands of additional bodies of water, including the Hudson Bay, Bering Sea and Gulf of St. Lawrence. That means access to the water and the beach is readily available for Americans and Canadians who wish to spend part of their staycation with some sand between their toes and the sound of waves crashing on the shorelines in their ears. Make time to visit the beach on your staycation, and you might be able to recreate the feeling of a more traditional getaway.

Staycations have become a staple for families looking to avoid expensive resort vacations. But staying close to home can still be just as fun as travelling abroad.

How to keep kids entertained all summer long S

ummer vacation often starts with high expectations.

Children are excited about the prospect of fun days outdoors playing with friends, while parents anxiously await relaxing months without the responsibilities of school and extracurricular clubs. But once summer vacation arrives and the "rst few days have passed, parents often "nd that the litany of cheers and giggles transform into a chorus of “I’m bored.”

entertaining the kids. For example, one parent is responsible for the whole lot one day, while the next day another parent takes a turn. This gives parents the opportunity to take a break from parental responsibilities and enjoy some quiet time. And for the children, time spent in a pool, watching movies, playing video games, or riding bikes is often more enjoyable with friends in tow. ☛ Fun Projects

Many parents pore over ideas that will keep their children busy throughout the summer. Many activities that come to mind tend to be expensive, so if cutting costs is a priority, parents might need to think outside the box to come up with entertaining ideas that won’t break the bank.

Children often want to feel useful, and may enjoy the responsibility of some easy tasks in and around the house — so long as the tasks are fun. Washing the car with a hose and a bucket of sudsy water is a fun way to cool off during the hot summer days and get a chore done. While parents should not expect a perfect job, they can rest assured that the kids will have at least an

☛ Camp Summer camp is a popular way for kids to spend their summers, but many camps are expensive. The American Camp Association has found that overnight camps can cost anywhere from $325 to $780 a week. Day camp fees may be $100 to $275 per week.

Parents who send their children to camp for an entire season might pay anywhere from $3,000 to $9,000 for the seven- to nine-week program.

Parents looking for an alternative to costly camps should consider local programs that offer summer activities. Libraries, schools and childcare centres may have programs that run the length of summer and are considerably less expensive than more formal camps. A YMCA or even a swim club may also put together activities. Parents whose children attend after-school sporting classes, such as karate or soccer, may "nd that the organizations offer a camp or summer program.

☛ Day Trips

hour of fun in the sun and water.

If a parent is off for the summer, then day trips may be a possibility. Schedule a few day trips to different locations that the kids are excited to see. Newspapers routinely print “Go See It” or “Just Go” listings that highlight local events. The family can gather around the table and decide which outings would be interesting and then mark them on the calendar. Some parents purchase season passes to amusement parks and take the kids several times over the summer. In either case, bring snacks and lunch from home when possible to keep costs in check.

Set aside a patch of the yard that children can turn into their own personal gardens. Encourage digging in this area and provide seeds or seedling plants as well as kid-sized gardening tools. Each day the kids can check on the progress of their gardens.

☛ Kid Swap Chances are many of your neighbours are also facing the same dif"culties as they try to "nd ways for kids to spend their summer afternoons. Parents can get together and set up a schedule for

Some home-improvement and craft stores sponsor free learning activities for children. They can be held in the morning or afternoon and will teach interesting skills that can be put to use again at home.

Summer vacations are soon to arrive, and parents can be armed with a list of enjoyable — yet inexpensive — ways to keep kids busy.

Philosophers’ Café hosts a session on “the herding effect.”

Humans, like worms, birds and every other species, “herd.” They follow a “leader” for compensation of resources, giving the leader control of the herd.

Philosophers’ Café is a series of informal public discussions in libraries, cafés and restaurants

throughout Metro Vancouver. The cafés, which are open to everyone, have brought dialogue and discussion to thousands of people who are interested in exploring issues from the absurd to the sublime. This is a drop-in session, which takes place from 7 to 8:45 p.m. in Room 3 of the Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch, at 1169 Pinetree Way. The moderator will be former anmore mayor Hal Weinberg.

Allergies HEALTH PRODUCTS THAT REALLY WORK FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE are a modern epidemic

Stem Cell Activator

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of selfrepair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. !Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB ! All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening. Joy Davison, 55, Calgary, AB

SNORING?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.

SLEEP APNEA?

Loose muscles

in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter.

Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, #23 because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

!I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective.

Since I discovered #31 I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB !

For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all #24 allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH !Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX !God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

WATSON SCORES SILVER

LISA KING/NOW

LoCKING ARMS: Coquitlam Metro-Ford’s Stephanie Russo, right, maintains possession while under close scrutiny by North Shore’s Lindsay Johansen during Saturday’s Pacific Coast women’s premier soccer game in Coquitlam.

North Shore prevailed 4-1, with Russo registering the lone MetroFord marker.

It came down to a thin margin.

Port Coquitlam’s Robert Watson pushed it right to the end, taking senior men’s silver allaround at the Canadian gymnastic championships in Ottawa on the weekend.

The 20-year-old gymnast, who trains in Richmond, registered a gold medal result in floor and bronze in rings en route to his first senior men’s silver. Last year, he earned bronze.

Watson’s score of 81.450 trailed champion Hugh Smith of Halifax, who won with 81.600.

In junior women’s, Omega Gymnastics’ Shallon Olsen won both the vault and floor finals to cap her second consecutive all-around gold medal performance.

SEVEN MAKE U16 TEAM

Team B.C. has a strong Tri-Cities flavour.

The provincial under-16 tackle football team was announced on Tuesday, with seven local players included in the 40-man roster.

B.C.’s roster includes defensive backs Elijah John, Sean Stewart and Maleek WomackStewart, linebackers Mario Marra and Taylor Poirtras, offensive lineman Darius MacKay and running back Jan Cabrera. All the players except Marra, who played with the Coquitlam junior bantam Vikings, are products of the Terry Fox Ravens high school system.

Team B.C. heads to Winnipeg in July to compete in the Red River Cup.

LEUNG TAKES NAT SPOT

Coquitlam’s Kiera Leung was among 50 athletes named this week to the Canadian national freestyle skiing team, in the lead-up to the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

The 21-year-old moguls skiier has been part of the national program for three years. At the final Nor-Am Cup meet in Vermont in March, Leung earned the top step of the podium with a win in dual moguls, as well as a bronze in single moguls. The result propelled her to third overall in the Nor-Am Cup series standings.

She collected silver at another Nor-Am Cup event in February.

Adanacs searching for answers

Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com If it isn’t a goal drought, it’s a momentum swing the other way.

At 0-3, the Coquitlam Adanacs are making progress but slipping at the same time.

The Western Lacrosse Association club benefited from the return of sniper Dane Dobbie in Saturday’s 14-12 loss to the Maple Ridge Burrards, but weren’t able to contain PoCo native Curtis Dickson.

The Maple Ridge shooter tallied four times and set up six others, including scoring the game winner, in a contest that featured more runs than a Mexican hacienda.

Dobbie, who missed the first two games due to a knee injury, tallied four goals and five assists as the Adanacs rallied to force extra time.

However, Maple Ridge’s high-powered attack capitalized at the right times to take away the win.

“It was very entertaining, not good for

the coach’s heart but I’m definitely happy we came out on top,” remarked Burrards coach Daren Fridge. “Our stars showed up and played much better. There were still gaps in our game but for a 70-minute game, we played well for 62 of them.”

The visitors jumped out to a 4-1 lead only to see Coquitlam tie it early in the second period when Dobbie netted a shorthanded goal. It triggered a scoring bonanza by the two squads, who combined for 14 markers CoNTINUED On PaGe 23

Saints snipers Phillies show pluck in tourney COQUITLAM-MOODY EKES sting T-men OUT CLOSE PEEWEE WIN Matt Delmonico netted five goals — including a natural hat trick to begin the third period — to lead his Port Coquitlam Saints past the Nanaimo Timbermen 14-10 in B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League action.

Trailing 10-8 after 40 minutes, PoCo kick-started its comeback 3:31 into the third on Delmonico’s shorthanded tally. Just over three minutes later, the 20-year-old tied the game with an even-strength marker. Three more minutes later, he put the Saints ahead for good with an unassisted powerplay goal.

Netminder Garrett Spann, who relieved rookie Bryce Phenix midway through the game, stopped all 10 Nanaimo shots in the third.

PoCo got a six-point effort from Connor Goodwin, while Nash Harrison chipped in with two goals and two assists. Garrett Chan and Ryan Landels each counted a goal and three helpers.

It was a bounce-back win after the Delta Islanders pounced on the Saints to a 127 score on Friday.

In the loss, Chan, Delmonico and Harrison cashed in two

goals apiece and Corey Wong added a single.

PoCo’s next game is Friday, 8 p.m. when they host the Burnaby Lakers at the PoCo Rec Centre.

The Coquitlam junior Adanacs, meanwhile, suffered a 15-8 shellacking at the hands of the visiting Victoria Shamrocks on Sunday.

A 5-3 lead evaporated in the second, as Victoria’s Chris Wardle rifled off a natural hat trick en route to a five-goal game. The ’Rocks ramped up the offence over the final half, out-scoring Coquitlam 7-3.

Spencer Stevens netted four goals for the Adanacs, with singles by Steven Neufeld, Reid Reinholdt, Vincent Ricci, and Matt Symes.

A day earlier, Coquitlam ventured to Delta and marooned the Islanders 8-3.

Chase McIntyre, Taylor Stuart and Ricci potted two goals apiece in a dominating team performance. For 45 minutes, the Adanacs held Delta scoreless until early in the third period as Davide DiRuscio stopped 29 shots.

Coquitlam, who sit tied for first with a 6-3 record, next play June 5 against Langley.

Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com It had all the earmarks of a World Series’ showdown, but when the baseline-chalk dust cleared the CoquitlamMoody peewee Phillies had put up the larger number.

And for the second-straight year, the Phillies prevailed at the Walter Bird tournament in Port Coquitlam.

The Phillies’ Aidan Howker, who had pitched the last half inning, drove a two-out pitch into an opening to plate Liam Woo and secure a dramatic 15-14 win over White Rock.

Coquitlam-Moody had to rally in the seventh for the win, as the lead changed hands a number of times during the game.

The Phillies advanced to the final after out-lasting the Aldergrove Hericanes — an all-girls team — 8-6 in the semifinal. Starting pitcher Sota Yoshida was knocked down but not out by a hard come-backer in the first, staying in and keeping the score close in the early going.

After starting the three-day tourney with a pair of draws, 9-9 with North Delta and 6-6 with PoCo, Coquitlam-Moody

picked up a crucial victory, 17-4, over Ridge Meadows to keep their hopes of repeating alive. They advanced to the playoffs based on a tie-breaker formula, setting up the semifinal with Aldergrove.

In the end, the Phillies went full-throttle over the final two games and came away as diamond kings.

Coquitlam-Moody’s coach noted how the house tourney, which is named in honour of longtime PoCo baseball volunteer Walter Bird, is a pleasure to participate in.

“I have to give full credit to the Bird family for their commitment to baseball… It’s just an amazing, well-run tournament,” remarked CoquitlamMoody coach David Woo. In the bantam division, the Coquitlam-Moody Cubs won the title with a 14-4 over Gibsons, behind strong pitching performances from Mitchell Wilson and Alexander Ramsay.

In the semifinal, the Cubs mercied New West 15-3, with pitcher Tyler Kimoto collecting the win. Earlier, they got a walk-off two-run double from Matthew Aarbo to beat Gibson 8-7 to win their pool.

in the middle frame.

Trailing 11-10 entering the third, the Adanacs had a five-minute powerplay midway through the period but couldn’t capitalize, which appeared to give Maple Ridge a confidence boost.

But just a minute after the penalty expired, Dobbie notched his fourth of the day to tie it and force the extra frame.

Port Moody native Jarrett Davis registered his second tally to put the Burrards back in front, followed by Dickson’s fourth. While Jimmy Delaney got Coquitlam to within a goal, ex-junior Adanac Brandon Bertoia iced it for Maple

Ridge with a handful of seconds left.

“We’ve been battling the first few games and kind of feel this was our best effort so far,” remarked Coquitlam’s Tim Campeau, who scored once. “We’re just struggling to put it all together.”

Former Adanac Chris Levis turned aside 43 shots, while Adam Shute made 41 saves in the loss.

Head coach Bob Salt agreed the hole is getting deeper for last year’s playoff finalist, but saw plenty of positives Saturday — including a three-goal effort from newcomer Brett Hickey.

The 22-year-old Windsor, Ont. native was picked up in a five-player trade

with Langley on Friday. Coquitlam sent the rights to Daniel McQuade and two draft picks to the Thunder for Hickey, Matt Wilson, Travis Bland and Robert Danilkiewicz. Both Hickey and Wilson made their debuts on Saturday.

“We’ve got a much better team than we had yesterday,” noted Salt on the newest additions. “Hickey is going to be in the [offensive] end — he’s a pure goalscorer. Wilson’s a nice piece, good on faceoffs and he played his heart out.”

The club now turns its attention to Thursday’s game in New Westminster.

On Saturday, they host Nanaimo for a 6 p.m. faceoff at the Poirier Sports Centre.
