Tri-City residents considering a run for a council or school board seat this fall will have to find creative ways to finance their campaigns. Tuesday, Elections BC released new rules for donations as well as specific spending caps for each B.C. municipality that will apply to the Oct. 20 civic elections. Under Bill 15, which came into law last November, organizations, corporations and unions are banned from contributing. That means only individuals can financially support a candidate — and only up to $1,200 per donor. Candidates have expense limits, too, based on the office they’re seeking and the population of the election area; they are: • Coquitlam: mayor $89,336; councillor $45,343; see ‘FUNDRAISING’, page 16

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WEEK
One Coquitlam strata isn’t leaving its safety to chance in case of emergency Princess Gate has trained a number of ‘floor wardens’
CITIES HAVE CLASSES & ONLINE INFO FOR EMERGENCY PREP
GRANT GRANGER THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Princess Gate is a tranquil condo complex kitty corner to the City Centre Aquatic Complex where residents are quietly crisscrossing the grounds and halls on a sunny afternoon. Many in the over-55 residence are quite nimble. Others need some sort of aid, like Fran Boucher, 79, who uses a walker. But how do they get out, or how do they get accounted for when a fire breaks out or an earthquake strikes? “I would probably panic,” said Boucher. That admission comes even though she has been through it before. Nine years ago, while vacationing in Mexico, she awoke to find flames running up her arms. The former nurse passed out and the next thing she knew, she was in a Mexican hospital. Eventually, she had to be airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital. These days, chronic knee and back issues have reduced Boucher’s mobility, which would be a problem in an emergency. “I try not to worry about that too much because you could drive yourself nuts. But still, fire can be fire,” said the 15-year resident of Princess Gate. Somebody did think about it, though. Strata president Charlie Young worried about how one resident he knew would make out in an emergency. That’s when his training in a previous life as a public health and safety inspector kicked in. He realized there were many more in the complex whose lives would be jeopardized because they couldn’t get out and he vowed to do something about it. “I was concerned for their safety,” Young told The Tri-City News. “You never know when it’s going to happen. You don’t want it to happen but, being an old boy scout, my motto is ‘Be prepared.’” So at his urging, the strata council decided to ask if any residents of the over-55 complex would be interested in becoming floor wardens to make

Princess Gate floor warden Bob Coss with resident Fran Boucher, 79, who uses a walker. The over-55 Coquitlam strata has set up a floor warden system to help residents evacuate in case of an emergency. It’s a program Coss believes other stratas would benefit from. sure all of their neighbours were safe in an emergency. That request caught the eye of Bob Coss. “When I read that paragraph, I said. ‘Darn it, what a good idea,’” said Coss, who’s 72. He told Young he was not only interested in being a part of it, but taking the lead on the project. “To my surprise, 16 residents said, ‘Hey, I’m interested,’ “ Coss told The Tri-City News. Now, each of the eight floors has two wardens who have received two days training in fire safety, evacuation and the handling of fire extinguishers. Coss estimates 15 to 18 residents of Princess Gate, which was built in 1994 and has 187

units in two four-storey, woodframe buildings, would require assistance. “We need to help and support each other,” Coss said. “If we were to save the life of one resident or one human being, there’s no value you can put to it.” One resident is blind, another five or six are in a wheelchairs and others use walkers, said Coss. In addition, discreet stickers on their doors tell emergency responders who needs assistance or has a pet inside. The floor wardens can also point the responders in the right direction to those who need help and whom they can’t get to. “They were so pleased. It was such a relief to know that
in the event of such a crisis, they would be supported by such a team,” Coss said. Lawrence Chai took the floor warden training and also helps Coss on the strata’s fire prevention and evacuation safety committee. He said many who took the course didn’t know how to operate a fire extinguisher or use a fire blanket to snuff out flames. “It’s a matter of time [before a disaster strikes],” Chai said. “You can never know when the fire or earthquake can happen. “When we have drills, the residents are more confident in the event of an actual fire. They know exactly where to go, what to do and what not to do. Time is of the essence.” The floor warden concept

Port Moody is holding a contest for an emergency kit to entice residents to check out its emergency preparedness website during Emergency Preparedness Week, May 6 to 12. The one-stop spot for information (portmoody.ca/ emergency) provides a variety of useful tips for families to take action to protect themselves. The resources include downloadable planning guides, which are also available at the Inlet Centre fire hall (150 Newport Dr.) and Port Moody Public Library (100 Newport Dr.). “It’s important to remember that in an emergency, it may take emergency workers and utility crews some time to provide assistance to you and your neighbours,” said Port Moody Fire Chief Ron Coulson in a press release. “All of us need to be prepared to take care of ourselves and our family members for at least 72 hours. I urge all Port Moody residents to build an emergency kit for your house, and a grab-and-go kit for your car or your workplace.” The prize kit is worth about $300 and contains essentials such as food, purified water pouches, a first aid kit, face masks, safety blankets, rain ponchos, a mini-camp stove, fuel tablets, waterproof matches, a crank AM/FM radio and a LED flashlight. As part of Emergency Preparedness Week, the City of Coquitlam will hold three free courses on how to be ready when disaster strikes. The city says residents should be able to take care of their basic needs for at least 72 hours. It will hold three free courses next week on how to do so. The first will be held on Monday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Glen Pine Pavilion (1200 Glen Pine Court). That is also the location for the second one, Thursday (May 10) at 6:45 p.m. The final one will be at noon Saturday, May 12 at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, Room 2. To register, go to signmeupcoquitlam.ca. Another session will be held at the pavilion on June 7 (6:45 p.m.). Coquitlam’s preparedness information is available at coquitlam.ca/public-safety/emergency-preparedness/ emergency-planning Port Coquitlam will have an emergency preparedness booth set up at its May Day block party in Leigh Square May 12 from noon to 5 p.m. For more information on PoCo’s emergency preparedness measures, visit portcoquitlam. ca/ep. The city offers free emergency preparedness courses, although the next scheduled one, May 26, is full. Courses to be held Sept. 15 and Nov. 24 are open for registration. For more information. go to portcoquitlam.ca/ep. newsroom@tricitynews.com
is something Coss believes would be beneficial to other strata properties. He said he recently got a knock on the door from two women from the North Shore who were visiting another Princess Gate resident. They wanted to know if he could do a presentation at their complex. “We feel all complexes would benefit,” said Coss. “If you don’t have a plan, how do you respond if you have a fire
or an earthquake? “You wouldn’t believe how much this would help the fire department. It creates a sense of security amongst all residents if a crisis does occur. “Why do they have it in the schools? Why do they have it in most corporations? They do for the safety of their employees, the safety of their students. So why not for complexes like ours?” newsroom@tricitynews.com

POLICING & MENTAL HEALTH
Cops wait on mental health cases: mayor Stewart wants RCH to change the way it triages GRANT GRANGER THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam city council wants Royal Columbian Hospital to improve its emergency department admissions procedures because too many of the city’s Mounties are “being used as security guards” when delivering mental health patients. Mayor Richard Stewart wrote a letter to Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy after the Coquitlam RCMP recently presented some alarming numbers to council in its 2017 annual report. According to Stewart’s letter, the detachment responded to 1,782 calls related to mental health, with 723 apprehensions under the Mental Health Act, an increase of 25% from 2016. Of those, 303 required the RCMP to wait at RCH in New Westminster for more than two hours. The longest wait was 10 hours. Stewart said many of the waits less than two hours were still about 90 minutes in duration and the delays affect both local policing and the quality of care for the mental health patients. “They didn’t surprise me at all,” said Stewart of the 2017 stats. “We have been raising this issue repeatedly with government for a number of years and, in some respects, we’ve seen improvements [in wait times]. So these are the improved numbers and they’re still too way too high from our perspective.” Local governments are responsible for policing costs and Stewart said the police officer’s job is to deliver mental health patients who have been
MAYOR RICHARD STEWART apprehended to the hospital. But the rules state the officer has to stick around until the patient is admitted. “The [police officer’s] role is over, yet once they’re at hospital, too many times they’re being used as a security guard to monitor the patient until the hospital is willing to accept the patient,” said Stewart. “It is intensely frustrating to realize society could be paying hundreds of thousands of dollars because the hospital isn’t prepared to take responsibility for the patient yet. “Those police resources should be on the street… It’s a process that makes no sense from the financial perspective but also from the perspective of patient care.” Stewart attributed some of the problem to RCH’s triage policy that gives a higher priority to patients with physical medical symptoms than it does to mental health patients without such symptoms. “It’s a system the hospital does acknowledge doesn’t work for mental health patients with acute episodes,” said Stewart. “This isn’t good for patients either. Mental health shouldn’t be a second-class type of illness.” In his letter to Darcy, he suggested RCH institute a dual-track system similar to the one used at Surrey Memorial Hospital to help expedite mental health cases
and reduce the costs associated with unnecessary wait times. Darcy’s office deferred comment to the Fraser Health Authority. “We strive to ensure patients brought to our emergency departments are seen quickly and that these officers are able to return to the community in a timely manner,” Fraser Health spokesperson Jacqueline Blackwell said in an email response. She added Fraser Health is working closely with police to implement protocols to mini-
mize the time officers must wait. “Under the protocol, a police officer should approach the emergency department patient care co-ordinator if the patient has not been seen by the emergency room physician within 60 minutes,” said Blackwell. “The patient care co-ordinator will ensure the emergency department physician sees the patient as soon as possible. “Patients are triaged based on medical need, and in some cases, it may be necessary for a patient and officer to wait be-
cause other patients need care more urgently.” Stewart said the homeless shelter on Gordon Avenue in Coquitlam, which some councillors complained earlier this year had become more of a drug harm reduction centre than a homeless shelter, may have contributed to the increase in mental health arrests. He also said there are solutions that can avoid mental health situations from reaching critical stages. “That number [of apprehensions] was a disconcerting increase, yet perhaps reflects the
lack of non-urgent treatment options for mental illness,” said Stewart. “There is nothing, and there continues to be very little, in the way of mental health treatment services unless it’s a crisis, in which case it’s the most expensive.” Stewart suggested to prevent so many crisis situations a wide array of mental health services, including intermediate care, would be ideally suited for the Riverview Hospital lands, in addition to the 105-bed facility scheduled to open in 2019. newsroom@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews

CHILD CARE
A Coq. daycare needs space as demand is high in Tri-Cities Many daycares await approval for fee reductions DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
A Coquitlam daycare that has enough kids on a waiting list to fill another daycare is in danger of losing the space it has. Step-by-Step Child Development Society is meeting with the city of Coquitlam and councillors in the hopes of getting confirmation it can stay in the Scout Hall at Blue Mountain Park or have space in a new facility if the older building is rebuilt. “We are trying to keep communicating our needs,” said Stacey Fujimoto, a parent director on the society’s board. In January, the Scout Hall was closed for a few days for repairs and the group is worried it could be closed again or shut down completely. As many as 25 children from Porter Street elementary school attend the program in the afternoon and parents are worried they don’t have a long-term contract for the space. Wednesday, the parents met with B.C.’s minister of state for child care, Katrina Chen, and
DAYCARE BY THE NUMBERS Many daycare fee-reduction applications are still in the works as caregivers seek to pass on a government reduction of up to $350 per child based on the age and type of care. So far, about 45% of providers have been approved. Here are the numbers as of May 1: • Total licensed providers in B.C.: 2,850 (49,136 spaces) • Total that have applied to opt in to fee reduction program: 1,766 (39,384 spaces) • Total approved so far: 1,262 (25,309 spaces) on May 14 they plan to make a presentation to city council. “We need some assurances,” said Megan Stowe, another parent director, who said the daycare has a space crunch. There is a waiting list of about 25 children between the daycare and after-school program, and while Step-by-Step also has a portable at Harbour View elementary for pre-school and before- and after-school care, it’s not enough for the demand in the community. “Affordable non-profit daycare is difficult to get,” Stowe said. Chen was visiting child care centres in the Tri-Cities that offer special services, such as child care for young moms at CABE (Coquitlam Alternative Basic Education) high school and at Step-by-Step, which is notable because it serves
families with special needs, said Chen. “We want to know how we can support these kinds of programs,” said Chen, who was doing the tour as part of Child Care Month, and said she hopes to gain valuable information for future childcare initiatives. A Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative introduced in April is gaining traction as more daycare providers opt in but Chen admitted a number of applications still have to be approved. Step-by-Step is one of the child care centres that has applied to opt in but has yet to be approved. Chen said staff are working hard to approve the applications so parents can get their fee reductions. So far, about 45% of licensed care providers in B.C. have been approved for the program, according to the

We do have a huge demand and the applications are still coming in.” She said parents can also look forward to a new Affordable Child Care Benefit, which will be available in September for families earning up to $111,000 a year. Meanwhile, Step-by-Step is looking for good news in its quest to find space. In addition to reaching out to Coquitlam, the daycare is also approaching School District 43 for support and meeting with local churches. “We are looking for synergies and partnerships,” said Fujimoto.

COQUITLAM FARMERS MARKET
Donuts are ticket to ride for cyclist Coquitlam Farmers Market opens its season this Sunday
TO MARKET, TO MARKET
The Coquitlam Farmers Market begins May 6 and runs every Sunday through the end of October from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is located in the parking lot of Dogwood Pavilion at 1655 Winslow Ave. (at Poirier, next to Centennial secondary school). Goodridge will make his first appearance at the market in its third week.
MARIO BARTEL
The Tri-CiTy News
Donuts aren’t just filled with jelly and custard, they’re stuffed with temptation. Presented with a box, it’s hard to eat just one. So spending five hours making them can be hazardous to your waistline. That’s why Jon Goodridge rides his bike. And as the proprietor of Royal City Donuts ramps up production for a summer full of farmers markets — including regular appearances at the Coquitlam Farmers Market, which opens its season Sunday — Goodridge is preparing to ride a lot. This could be a breakout year for the New Westminster donut maker, who first started creating the doughy delights because his city didn’t have a decent donut shop. Unwilling to compromise his craving and hit a certain chain of coffee shops to satisfy his taste for sweet stickiness, he bought a stove-top deep fryer and started Googling recipes. A self-confessed bread “fanatic,” Goodridge settled on instructions for a yeast-based
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Donut maker Jon Goodridge rides off calories he consumes while taste-testing his product in preparation for a busy summer at local farmers markets. He’s one of the new vendors at the Coquitlam Farmers Market, which begins its season on Sunday (his first market appearance will be on May 20). brioche dough that uses less sugar and provides a little more chewy sustenance rather than
the more common cake donut. As he experimented with fillings and toppings — including
maple bacon, Mexican chocolate and lemon custard with a blueberry glaze — he snapped
photos with his cellphone and posted them to Instagram. Then, people started enquiring how they could get them. So Goodridge, who makes his living as a hair stylist, set up a couple of pop-up shops at local events and got busy in his kitchen. His donuts sold out in minutes. Last winter, he contracted space in a commissary kitchen in Burnaby and started selling his donuts regularly at the New Westminster winter market, where visitors had to squeeze their way through the line that snaked from his booth across the street. If you didn’t get in that line early, you were unlikely to snag one or more of the 270 donuts he’d fry up for market day. Goodridge said farmers markets such as Coquitlam’s long-running affair are a perfect testing ground to determine if there’s a demand for his creations as shoppers who frequent them are already predisposed to seeking out unique, local products.
That could eventually lead to a permanent brick-andmortar shop, or even a food truck. In addition to his two or three visits a month to the Coquitlam market on Sundays, he’ll also be at Burnaby’s market on Saturdays and New Westminster’s Thursday market, as well as special events. Goodridge has also found craft breweries fertile ground for donut delights and said he’s hoping to expand a budding relationship with Moody Ales in Port Moody where he paid a couple of visits last winter to great acclaim. Of course, the rising desire for his yeasty confections means Goodridge has to spend more time in the kitchen, which leaves less time for cycling. Still, he has toyed with the idea of creating donuts with holes big enough to slide onto the ends of his handlebars for those quick mid-ride energy boosts. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

SUMMER WORK
Blitz could be coming to a ’hood near you DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
If you live in an older Coquitlam neighbourhood, a city improvement program may be coming your way to fix signs, remove overgrown vegetation and do other needed work. Just in time for spring cleaning, Coquitlam council approved a neighbourhood clean-up program for older neighbourhoods that need a little refreshing. The top 10 neighbourhoods identified as priority for a little extra love are, in order: Meadowbrook, Falcon, Nestor, Eagle Ridge, Hoy/Scott Creek, Lougheed, Mayfair, Ozada, Cassin and Oakdale. The Neighbourhood Improvement Blitz Pilot Program would see street lights repainted, graffiti removed from city utility boxes, wheelchair ramps installed at intersections, road lines remarked, faded traffic signs replaced, overhead street signs at signalized intersections replaced with ones that are illuminated internally, overgrown vegetation removed and fire hydrants repainted. Neighbourhoods might also receive some improvements unique to their area, such as
SUMMER JOB PROGRAM It’s summer job season and now is the time to apply, according to the federal government, which has approved 152 summer jobs for students age 15 to 30 in the Tri-Cities this year. A summer job helps students gain skills and work experience while enabling them to earn money for the school year ahead. Thanks to Canada Summer Jobs, young Canadians from across the country will be able to access thousands of job opportunities with small businesses, not-for-profit organizations and the public sector. This year, 3,000 Canadian employers were given funding for the first time if they met certain priorities, including: new immigrant youth and refugees; indigenous youth; youths with disabilities and viabilities; or provided services or supports to the LGBTQ2 community; opportunities in science, technology, engineering or math, particularly for women, or support official language minority communities. For a list of local Canada Summer Job employers (note: some jobs may already be filled), visit canada.ca/canadasummer jobs. repairing the root-damaged parking pockets in the Meadowbrook neighbourhood and paving the few remaining gravel pathways in the Oakdale neighbourhood. Under the plan, the first four neighbourhoods will be done this year, with the next six neighbourhoods tackled the following year, pending a report and council approval. The program would be done in a blitz format, with each neighbourhood taking about
a month to complete and residents notified of the improvements, according to a city staff report. Efforts would also be made to find neighbourhood champions to become involved in an Adopt-a-Street program so improvements are maintained into the future. Money to pay for the blitz will come out of the city’s infrastructure reserve. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

More foreign buyers jumped into the Coquitlam housing market in February in anticipation of the provincial government’s hike to property transfer taxes, government figures show. The provincial government has released details of real estate transactions and how much was paid in property transfer tax from January through the end of March 2018 and the numbers show foreigninvolved transactions increased to 46 in February from 13 in January while the total number of real estate transactions was 208 in February and 278 in January. In March, after the property transfer tax was raised for foreign buyers to 20% from 15%, the number dropped to below five and was not recorded, according to the 2018 property tax data. Still, property sales in the city remained relatively strong at 197 real estate transitions that month. The sales to foreign buyers

Average home values for property sales to foreign buyers were $636,384 in January and $446,314 in February. In 2017, after the BCLiberal government implemented a
15% foreign buyers tax in 2016, foreign buyers were a small part of Coquitlam real estate deals. May 2017, for example, was the most robust month for foreign buyer real estate deals at 22 out of a total of 474 sales that month. That year, the value of properties sold to foreign buyers ranged from a low of $565,462 in January to a high of $1.8 million in February. So far this year, there have been no real estate sales to foreign buyers or the number of sales to foreign buyers was below five in Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra, according to the most recent property transfer tax data. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

OUR OPINION
INGRID RICE
Learn ’n’ bear it
Is it tacky, thought-provoking or simply too large? We’re talking about the Coquitlam “garbage bear” that was preserved and will be displayed at city hall to remind people of their garbage obligations. Yes, some people might call it offensive (Coun. Terry O’Neill did just that on Facebook). But it’s obvious we need reminders that we have responsibilities if we are going to live in a city with close proximity to bear territory. If it takes a display that some find disturbing to remind people to lock up their garbage and other attractants, then this stuffed bear is a good idea. In fact, let’s roll out this display at every community event until the problem of fed/dead bears is no longer. If it will also remind politicians of the downside of endless development encroachment into the forests, then yes, let’s have it. If it gave its life so other bruins would live safely in the wild, then maybe it’s worth displaying as both rebuke and reminder.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
DO YOU THINK THE STUFFED BEAR SHOULD BE DISPLAYED IN COQUITLAM CITY HALL?

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Mobility pricing: idea whose time has come T
ransLink and the Mayors Council appointed the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission to review options for pricing Metro Vancouver roads and bridges in order to manage congestion and invest in our transportation system. Later this spring, the commission will release its final report that is to outline a fair mobility pricing system. But fairness is in the eye of the MARC LEE beholder. Asking drivers to pay more is fair as it targets those causing congestion. Using revenues to improve the overall transportation system, including better public transit, also makes sense. But not all households have equal incomes or resources and ability to pay must be a core fairness principle. A key equity concern is that low-income households with no option but to drive are adversely affected while affluent drivers can travel more quickly without noticing much impact on their budget. Some people cannot immediately change their behaviour and/ DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

or may live in areas where it is hard to imagine alternative ways to get around. This is related to the high cost of housing in Metro Vancouver, which forces low-income households to move further from urban centres to find affordable housing. Exactly what mobility pricing in Metro Vancouver will look like is to be determined, including rates at different times of day, exemptions for certain vehicles and ways the revenues may be used. The independent commission is considering two models of mobility pricing: congestion point charges, which would likely result in tolls on most regional bridges and key choke points on highways; and distance-based charges, which would price each kilometre driven but could vary by time and location. Metro Vancouver’s growing congestion problems may mean some drivers are amenable to new solutions but willingness to pay is another matter. Unless it is seen as fair, residents are not likely to accept any proposed system. Mobility pricing can learn from B.C.’s carbon tax. A low-income credit is funded from carbon tax revenues and a similar mechanism for mobility pricing could target low-income drivers and households. There must also be transportation fairness for other disadvantaged groups including people who can’t drive due to age or disability.
A major expansion of public transit before implementation of a mobility pricing system would further benefit low-income households that are more reliant on transit. My recent report, Getting Around Metro Vancouver, shows that London and Stockholm made major investments in transit before implementing congestion charges. It is important to note that drivers do not pay the full cost of their trips. The public costs of driving include construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, policing and related public services, subsidies to fuel production and provision of parking spaces. There are also external costs imposed on society as a whole: carbon emissions, air pollution, sprawl, noise and the environmental costs of upstream fuel extraction and processing. In Metro Vancouver, there is already mobility pricing, with transit fares and distance pricing on SkyTrain and Seabus. Welldesigned mobility pricing would do the same for car travel and could accelerate the shift away from auto-dependency. But the devil is in the details and attention must be paid to the equity aspects of whichever design is chosen. Marc Lee is a senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (www.policyalternatives.ca) B.C. office and writes about a variety of economic and social policy issues.

MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION
Governments must act to aid those affected by pot smoke The Editor, Re. “Cities prep for pot” (The Tri-City News, April 27). With the coming legalization of cannabis, have the federal, provincial and municipal governments given due consideration on how to successfully protect those Canadians who do not wish to be subjected to the smell of marijuana in any form? Some Canadians, like myself, do not tolerate the smell of marijuana because one is sensitive (allergic) to it. Being sensitive is a lifethreatening and life-hampering condition for which there is no known cure. The afflicted individuals have to avoid exposure to what they are sensitive to, and how is this possible if neighbours are growing or smoking marijuana? People who experienced grow ops in their area will agree that marijuana produces an absolutely disgusting odour that penetrates neighbouring dwellings. These odours are unwelcoming smells and can

Even a few marijuana plants growing in someone’s garden or balcony (and the processing of these plants) could/would be unpleasant or hazardous for some people, as is the outdoor smoking of this drug. Much consideration needs to be given by all levels of gov-
ernment to protect people who react physically to marijuana — the entire general public will benefit. People who want or need to smoke marijuana for recreational or medicinal reasons have the privilege to do so in the privacy of their own homes, and having the win-
dows and doors closed as not to subject any other person to the odour of this substance. The three levels of government should introduce such clauses into laws dealing with the legalization of marijuana so justice will be served to all Canadians. B. Oishi, Port Coquitlam
Vandalism ‘attack’ on public property The Editor, Re. “Burned library won’t dissuade supporters” (The TriCity News, May 2). The article about the recent vandalism to the little free library at Wellington Park in Port Coquitlam brought back bad memories. It wasn’t long ago that I also shared the story of vandals burning the beautiful little gazebo in Citadel Park. After this disgusting act, they went
further down the street and attacked two park benches. It’s an absolute crime that we as respectable citizens have to face these attacks on taxpayers’ property that are put there for the general public to enjoy. I only hope somebody catches them soon or that a responsible parent will read this and recognize the origin of these culprits. Richard Parkinson, Port Coquitlam

METRO VANCOUVER
Metro wants input on climate change Metro Vancouver wants to reduce the impact of climate change on the region with a new Climate 2050 Strategy. In 2008, the Metro board adopted a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% of 2007 levels by 2050 but a lot of changes will be necessary to reach that goal. Currently, according to the regional district, cars and trucks are responsible for 31% of greenhouse gas emissions, buildings contribute 26%, industry is responsible for 17%, non-road engines at 8%, air, marine and rail add 7%, heavy duty vehicles contribute 5% while agriculture and waste are about 3%. With its role in providing drinking water, handling waste and sewers, and operating other infrastructure such as social housing and parks, Metro Vancouver has an opportunity to make a difference and plans to apply a “climate lensâ€? to its policies and initiatives. “Metro Vancouver is well positioned to be an accelerator of climate action and we are already pursuing innovative ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while investing in the resilience of our assets and infrastructure,â€? Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, who is also the mayor of Port Coquitlam, in a press release. In order to get to the 80% GHG reduction by 2050, the following changes would have to be made: • 50% of trips would be by walking, cycling or transit and almost all cars and trucks would

IN A STRATA? GET ENERGY ADVICE Metro Vancouver is offering energy advice for strata housing complexes to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the region. The regional district launched the Strata Energy Advisory Program Wednesday. It will advise strata corporations already doing regular maintenance or renovations on how to revamp their buildings to reduce energy consumption while saving money. Strata corporations and managers signing up will get a free assessment. An advisor will tour the site and offer advice on the costs, risks, savings and the benefits to replacing items such as boilers, windows and other building envelope components. According to a Metro Vancouver press release, a typical strata building could reduce natural gas use by 20% just by replacing a boiler at the end of its life with a modern, highefficiency, lower-emission condensing unit. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, chair of Metro Van’s climate action committee, said the program can improve the region’s environmental footprint one building at a time. The two-year pilot program is modelled after a similar initiative in Australia and is one of the first of its kind in North America. Metro Vancouver has more than 7,200 strata buildings housing more than 380,000 households. Strata corporations and managers can sign up for the program at strataenergyadvisor.ca. Commercial and industrial strata developments are not eligible for the program. have to be electric vehicles. • All new buildings would have to be carbon-free, starting in 2030 and all building retrofits would have to achieve an 80% GHG reduction starting in 2025. • Heavy industry, including planes, trucks and ships would have to use low-carbon fuel. The goal is to reduce C02 emitted from 16 million tones (2007 levels) to 3 million tonnes of C02 by 2050. The public will be able to provide feedback on the Climate 2050 Discussion Paper

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
‘Fundraising is going to take a lot of time,’ says Hodge continued from front page
• Port Coquitlam: mayor $40,956; councillor: $20,714; • Port Moody: mayor $25,371; councillor: $12,779; • Anmore and Belcarra: mayor $10,000; councillor $5,000; • SD43: Coquitlam trustee $42,033; PoCo trustee $22,368; PoMo trustee $15,104; and villages trustee $5,000. For perspective, had these limits been in place for the last general election in 2014, TriCity Mayors Greg Moore (Port Coquitlam), Mike Clay (Port Moody) and John McEwen (Anmore) would have been well over. According to election finance disclosures, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart spent $74,478 in 2014 while Moore spent $50,242 and Clay $40,739; McEwen spent $17,248 and his Belcarra counterpart Ralph Drew self-funded his campaign for $371. And most of the mayors’ ’14 campaign cash came in from corporations and unions. Stewart took in $48,250 from business — representing about two-thirds of his funding — while Moore received $38,111
from companies and $1,500 from trade unions; Clay reaped $14,343 from corporations and $6,000 from unions. Stewart and Clay did not return a request for comment by The Tri-City News’ print deadline Thursday but Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge, who received the highest number of votes for city council in 2014, said if he runs for a third term this fall, he’ll have to recruit a volunteer fundraising chair (Hodge took in $40,172 and spent $37,728 in 2014). “It’s going to be tough,” Hodge said, referring to the new campaign rules. “Fundraising is going to take a lot of time… I’m going to have to reach out on social media, to my family, friends and supporters. To be honest, it’s hard to get people to take a lawn sign, let alone make a contribution without a tax receipt.” Hodge said the base amount for a civic campaign — to pay for signs, brochures and advertising, etc. — is around $12,000. Added first-term PoCo Coun. Laura Dupont, who is seeking re-election: “It will make it challenging to approach greater numbers of individual people for support but, overall,

it should keep municipal campaigns from being ridiculously expensive.” Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo, who has an election website, said she plans to hold fundraisers and run a “grassroots campaign. It takes a lot more voter contact.” But McEwen, who is also running for re-election, said Anmore candidates shouldn’t have a problem as “we don’t have union or corporate donors.”
Already, a number of TriCity residents have announced their intention to seek public office: Rob Bottos will run for Coquitlam council while, in Port Coquitlam, Priscilla Omulo and Nancy McCurrach have declared their candidacies for council, and Christine Pollock for school trustee (see sidebar). General voting day is Oct. 20, with nominations open Sept. 4 to 14.

A retired School District 43 education assistant who worked with children with special needs for 30 years is the first Port Coquitlam candidate to launch a campaign for trustee in the fall civic election. Christine Pollock is making a bid for a Port Coquitlam seat after longtime Trustee Judy Shirra announced she will not run in the Oct. 20, 2018 election. Pollock worked as an EA at the elementary, middle and secondary school levels, and for the past 10 years was a member of the SD43 Learning Services team, supporting students with behavioural challenges. She has also been a volunteer in the lacrosse community, including a post as chair of senior lacrosse in B.C., served in the accreditation office at the 2006 World Junior Hockey Championships and was a welcome centre host during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

logicalsociety@hotmail.com. • Sunday: The Hoy-Scott Watershed Society invites the community out for its annual Salmon Leave Home event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hoy Creek Hatchery in Coquitlam. People of all ages will have the opportunity to help release 18-month-old coho smolts into Hoy Creek. “Salmon Leave Home is a special event for families with small children. The kids find so much delight in releasing fish into the creek,” said society president, Robbin Whachell. “Once the salmon are released, they make their way downstream to Scott Creek, then Coquitlam River, the Fraser River — which empties into the Strait of Georgia on the Pacific Ocean. They return in
approximately two years to the same location where they were spawned.” The family-friendly free outdoor event will run rain or shine and among the festivities will be face painting by students from the Pinetree secondary environmental club, an art build activity and Spirit Bear coffees provided by the Wild Salmon Creative Cafe. The hatchery is located in the Hoy Creek Linear Park behind Douglas College and north of Guildford, a few minutes walk inland, and is only a 10-minute walk from the Lafarge LakeDouglas SkyTrain station. To find the exact location, Google “Hoy Creek Hatchery.” More information can be found at the society’s website, hoyscottcreeks.org.

LES WINGROVE
Memorial to be held May 12 at lax arena MARIO BARTEL The Tri-CiTy News
A public memorial service will be held next week for Coquitlam lacrosse legend Les Wingrove at one of the places he spent so much time: the arena floor at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The family announced Wednesday the service will be held Saturday, May 12, at 1 p.m. A longtime lacrosse coach, manager and club executive, Wingrove passed away suddenly last Friday night. He was 74 years old. Since then, tributes have poured in from every corner of the lacrosse world and the community for Wingrove’s tireless contribution to build the game, from formalizing the formation of the Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse Association in the early 1970s to being the manager of teams that won Minto and Mann cups, to working as the director of operations and alternate governor for the Coquitlam Junior Adanacs and as the assistant general manager and alternate governor for the Western Lacrosse Association’s Langley Thunder. Those efforts earned him
LES WINGROVE induction as a builder into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, where he was ultimately joined by a number of players he coached as kids or managed as an executive. Wingrove was also instrumental in the formation of the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame, where he had a handson role in building many of the displays, and he was heavily involved in many local associations to promote sport and activity for young people. Because of those deep sport and community connections, Wingrove’s son, Craig, said a large turnout is expected for the memorial, which will be held in the main arena. The family is also encouraging donations to the Trevor Wingrove
Bursary Fund in lieu of flowers. That fund was established in 2013 to honour one of Les’ sons who died of cancer in 2010 at the age of 42. Trevor rose from being the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs’ waterboy when he was 12 years old to becoming a junior league all-star in 1987 and ’88, and then a top player in the WLA. He also worked for the city of Coquitlam for more than a decade, eventually becoming its general manager of corporate services. In 2011, Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse renamed its annual Dogwood tournament to honour Trevor Wingrove and, three years later, the city dedicated the street through Town Centre Park in his name. The bursary fund, which is administered by the Coquitlam Foundation, is awarded to graduating high school students who played in the local lacrosse association for at least two years and have plans to enrol in a post-secondary institution, training program or take career training. • For more information about the memorial service, as well as a link to donate to the bursary fund, go to www. leswingrove.com. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Mom
Sunday, May 13
A little thought & a lot of love for Mom’s gift Mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and many more remarkable women often work tirelessly and without fanfare to provide for their families. Even though they may deserve to be recognized throughout the year, moms enjoy a special day nestled within the month of May when children, spouses and others celebrate Mother’s Day. Many people give heartfelt gifts on Mother’s Day to express their love for the mothers in their lives. The perfect gift may focus on your mom’s interests and the things that make her truly happy. With that in mind, the following shopping tips can help anyone find the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
n Dining out can be a treat. A meal at a favourite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, you may want to cook a meal at home on Mother’s Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in a restaurant. n Give tickets to a show or sporting event. Whether Mom is a sports fan or she prefers the theatre or live music, event tickets can make a wonderful gift. n Give the gift of wine tasting. Many wineries can be found in the Okanagan and there are a few in the Lower Mainland as well. A Mother’s Day wine tasting can be special for the entire family (although those under 19 obviously can’t taste wine) and support B.C. businesses.
Correspondence must be received by midnight, Wednesday, May 9th, 2018 Winner to be contacted on Mother’s Day, May 13th, 2018!
FOR
n Explore spa packages. What mother won’t benefit from some rest and relaxation with a little pampering thrown in? Salons and massage therapists typically put together Mother’s Day packages that
cater to mothers. Packages may include massages, facials, hair treatments, manicures, and pedicures. Gift-givers can customize the services depending on their budgets.

AROUND THE HOUSE
Get Mom some beauty, colour for her day IN THE GARDEN
BRIAN MINTER
M
oms are pretty special and since Mother’s Day is almost here, I’d like to offer a few suggestions to say ‘thank you’ beautifully. There’s scientific proof now that flowers and plants not only make people happy but they are also therapeutic. They make our living spaces a lot more enjoyable as well. The type of plant you give, however, should fit Mom’s lifestyle. If she is away a great deal, small tropicals or hanging baskets certainly are not the answer. I would suggest something like an outdoor garden. Larger patio tubs can go a long while between waterings and the addition of a small tree can make quite a difference to a patio, providing privacy or cooling a
hot seating area. Containers about the size of a half barrel, such as large 50cm cedar tubs or terracotta pots, can make an attractive permanent garden. By using lightweight soil mixes, the weight problem can be minimized. If you add casters to the bottom of the pots, they can be easily moved if necessary or if you just want to change the
perspective. Hanging baskets are a nice gift too but again make sure they are large enough that they do not require daily attention There are so many being mass-produced today, try to find something unique and that has a personal touch. Ideally the containers should be a minimum of 14-16 inches across and deep
to keep the maintenance down. If you are giving a gift of fuchsias or begonias, make sure they are going to a shady location. Large herb gardens, with edible flowers mixed in, are colourful and a delightful culinary surprise. Or put together a containerized vegetable garden, including the latest compact-growing vegetables like ‘Tumbler’ tomatoes, everbearing strawberries, colourful ‘Simply Salad’ leaf lettuce varieties and ‘Bright Lights’ swiss chard. Planting a yard tree for special occasions is not only a nice commemorative gesture but it’s also a good environmental plan. This is especially true in urban areas. There are many kinds of trees that are well suited to small gardens. Japanese maples, beautiful pink or white dogwoods, tree form magnolias and weeping katsura trees are particularly lovely candidates. Flowering trees and shrubs that attract birds or butterflies to the yard are wonderful. Buddleias (butterfly bush), especially the new Proven Winners dwarf series, ‘Lo &
Behold’, really do attract all kinds of beautiful butterflies. The fast-growing orange flowered vine called Campsis ‘Indian Summer’ attracts late hummingbirds. The Korean or kousa dogwood not only has gorgeous blossoms and great fall colour but also has edible seed pods. Speaking of edibles, the collection of container plants such as ‘Raspberry Shortcake’(raspberry) and ‘Jelly Bean’,‘Peach Sorbet’,‘Blueberry Glaze’, ‘Pink Icing’ and the new non-stop variety ‘Perpetua’ (all blueberries) provide a continuous summer buffet, as does the delicious dwarf thornless blackberry called ‘Baby Cakes’. Moms enjoy fragrance and there are all kinds of choices. From the new Proven Winners compact ‘Bloomerang’ lilac that blooms now and again in fall to the fragrant snowball shrub (Viburnum carcephalum) and from new diseaseresistant fragrant roses to ‘Eternal Fragrance’ daphne, there is much from which to choose. Perennial plants are always
appreciated and peonies and lavenders are among the most cherished, especially the hardy continuousblooming ‘Anouk’ Spanish lavenders. Water on the patio remains a huge trend. Containers that hold water are quite magnificent filled with floating water hyacinths, water lilies and a myriad of colourful flowering water plants. Easy-care plug-in fountains, with their soothing sounds, are delightful and you can add even more music to her ears with high quality Woodstock wind chimes. All these suggestions are gifts that will last and for the most part, grow in beauty each year. You might even plant Mom’s gift for her - in the right location of course. Be a little creative this year. It is not only the flowers and plants but also the innovative ways in which they can be used and enjoyed, either inside or out, that makes the difference. Add your own special touch. Mom might also enjoy an outing, such as visiting the tulip fields of Abbotsford and Chilliwack to see them in bloom.

New Arthritis Painkiller Works on Contact and Numbs Pain in Minutes New cream works faster and is more targeted than oral medications. Key ingredients penetrate the skin within minutes to relieve arthritis pain, joint stiffness, and muscle soreness. Users report significant and immediate relief. By Robert Ward Associated Health Press TORONTO – Innovus Pharmaceuticals has introduced a new arthritis pain relief treatment that works in minutes. Sold under the brand name Apeaz™, the new pain relief cream numbs the nerves right below the skin. When applied to an arthritic joint, or a painful area on the body, it delivers immediate relief that lasts for hours and hours. The powerful painkilling effect is created by the creams active ingredients, three special medical compounds. Anesthetics are used in hospitals during surgery. They block nerve signals from the brain so that patients don’t feel pain and they work fast. The anesthetic found in Apeaz™ is the strongest available without a prescription. The cream form allows users to directly target their area of pain. It works where it is applied. The company says this is why the product is so effective and fast acting. “Users can expect to start feeling relief immediately after applying,” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj, President of Innovus Pharmaceuticals. “There will be a pleasant warming sensation that is followed by a cool, soothing one. This is how you know that the active ingredients have reached the affected joint and tissue.”
Works In Minutes For arthritis suffers, Apeaz™ offers impressive advantages over traditional medications. The most obvious is how quickly it relieves pain discomfort. The cream contains the maximum approved dose of a top anesthetic, which penetrates the skin in a matter of minutes to numb the area that’s in pain. This relief lasts for several hours. Published pre-clinical animal studies have shown that the ingredients in Apeaz™ can also prevent further bone and cartilage destruction. There are also no negative side effects like from oral medication. Apeaz™ delivers its ingredients through the skin. Oral medications are absorbed in the digestive tract. Overtime, the chemicals in pills can tear the delicate lining of the stomach, causing ulcers and bleeding. When compared to other arthritis medications, Apeaz™ is a fraction of the cost. At less than $2 a day, the cream quickly is becoming a household name.
Those with terrible arthritis in their hands and fingers, love how easy Apeaz™ is to open. The jar fits in the palm of the hand, which makes it much easier to use.
Instant Pain Relief Without a Prescription Many Apeaz™ users report significant improvements in daily aches and pain. Many more report increased flexibility less stiffness, and decreased muscle soreness. They are moving with less pain for the first time in years, like Henry Esber, an early user of Apeaz™. “I’ve tried more pills than I can count. I’ve also had a handful of cortisone shots. Nothing is as effective as this product. With Apeaz™, I get relief right away. I rub a little on my hands. It keeps the pain away. It also prevents the pain from getting really bad. It’s completely changed my life.”
How It Works Apeaz™ contains the highest, non-prescription dose of a medical compound that fights pain on contact. When applied to the skin it goes to work within minutes by penetrating right to the source of your pain, numbing the nerve endings. “This is why Apeaz™ is so effective for people with arthritis pain. It reduces pain while adding an additional potential layer of joint support,” explains Damaj. Apeaz is a Natural Health Product approved by Health Canada for the following conditions: • Arthritis pain • Simple back pain • Strains • Sprains • Athletic injuries • Muscle stiffness and pain • Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, muscle or joint pain
A New Way to Treat Pain Although Dr. Damaj and his team say that their cream is the fastest and most effective way to relieve arthritis pain, they believe there is still a reason to take joint pills. The most effective are those which help to further lubricate, strengthen and support the joints. That’s why every container of Apeaz™ comes with ArthriVarx™, a breakthrough supplement that’s taking on joint support in an entirely new way. ArthriVarx™ works on your joints, making it the perfect companion to Apeaz™. “ArthriVarx™ contains special compounds published to lubricate the joints and connective tissues that surrounds them. With daily use, they improve joint health and can give an extra cushion,” explains Dr. Damaj.
Apeaz™: Quick Acting Pain and Arthritis Cream is Now Available Without a Prescription
“When combined with Apeaz™, it becomes the perfect system to tackle arthritis. While the anesthetic component of Apeaz™ is working on the outside, relieving pain on contact, ArthriVarx™ is working on the inside, adding cushioning to the joints”’
A Powerful Combination For Arthritis and Joint Pain With daily use, Apeaz™ plus ArthriVarx™ helps users live a more vital, pain free life without any of the negative side effects or interactions associated with oral drugs. By delivering fast, long-lasting, and targeted relief from joint pain and supporting longterm joint health, Apeaz™ and ArthriVarx™ is the newest, most effective way to tackle your arthritis pain. You can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable. It is also extremely effective, especially if nothing else has worked well for you.
How to Get Apeaz™ in Canada This is the official public release of Apeaz™. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to any joint-pain arthritissufferer who calls within the next 48 hours. A special hotline number and discounted pricing has been created for all Canadian residents. Discounts will be available starting today at 6:00AM and will automatically be applied to all callers.

CAR RACING
Hobby racers feed their need for speed Weekend racers spend thousands of dollars on cars MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Some men take up golf as their middle-aged hobby. Some build model railways. James Nadolny races cars. At 56-years-old, Nadolny is way beyond harbouring any aspirations to ascend motorsports’ competitive ladder to Formula 1 or IndyCar. Instead, the Port Coquitlam businessman who owns Mainland Chrome on Broadway Street, packs up his little Formula Continental racer into its trailer six times a year for a weekend of competition and camaraderie at Mission Raceway Park where he grids up as part of the Sports Car Club of BC’s (SCCBC) open wheel series. It sure beats trying to putt a little white ball into a hole hundreds of metres away. “It’s very addictive,” Nadolny said. It can also be expensive. Nadonly said his car was “pretty beat up” when he acquired it from another racer in Alberta for $11,000 so he put in that much again to get it into a safe, competitive state. After that, the sky’s the limit. “You can make it as expensive as you want,” Nadolny said, adding some racers can spend upward of $60,000 a season. Much of Nadolny’s annual race budget of $7,000 to 8,000 goes to tires that might last only a few laps or can be babied to endure an entire season, depending on the size of a racer’s bank account and their desire to go fast. “Tires are the easiest way to make your car go quicker,” said Nadolny, who doesn’t have a
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
James Nadolny, 56, started racing cars at MIssion Raceway Park four years ago because his body was beat up after racing high-performance motorcycles for 12 years. crew and does all the tinkering and set up of his car himself. That can get a bit obsessive, Nadolny said, as every little turn of a screw in the car’s two-litre Ford Pinto engine or tightening of a bolt in the suspension attached to its welded tube chassis can have implications on its speed and handling. But that’s part of the fun. “For every hour on the
track, there’s 10 in the garage,” Nadolny said. As the driver and engineer, Nadolny is in tune with every vibration, every twist of the steering wheel in his hands. If the car’s not set up right, he’ll have to wrestle it through Mission Raceway’s tight turns and never get it up to the 125 mph he can do on the track’s short straightaway. Get it dialled in and going fast takes no
effort at all. “When you get it right, it’s very cool,” said Nadolny, who raced high-performance motorcycles for 12 years but migrated to a car four years ago because the physical exertion of two-wheel racing was getting too hard on his aging body. Nadolny said his wife doesn’t come to the track as much as she used to. Instead
it’s mostly the racers working on their cars, exchanging quips and sometimes equipment, from Friday afternoon’s pit setup through practise on Saturday morning followed by qualifying sessions and races Saturday and Sunday. “We help each other out,” Nadolny said. “It’s good camaraderie, a good family atmosphere.” • The SCCBC racing series

Stachoski pitches Clan into playoffs Team finishes third after wins
Port Coquitlam’s Alia Stachoski pitched three victories — including a twohit shutout — last weekend to lead the Simon Fraser University Clan women’s softball team to its first Great Northwest Athletic Conference playoff berth in five years. Those playoffs, involving the top four teams in the conference, began Thursday at Porter Park in Portland. The double-elimination tournament concludes Saturday. The Clan are the third seed, behind No. 1, Northwest Nazarene, and No. 2, Central Washington, but ahead of fourth seed Western Oregon. SFU has never managed to advance past the regional championships to the NCAA Division II West Regional tournament. Stachoski was credited with both wins in a doubleheader sweep of Concordia, Sunday in Portland, Ore.
She scattered three hits and struck out two batters in five innings of the Clan’s 11-0 victory over the Cavaliers in the second game. The win improved the senior’s pitching record to 13 wins against 10 losses. In the first game, Stachoski spotted Concordia a 2-0 lead when she surrendered a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. But her teammates got those back plus another when they put three runs across the plate in the top of the sixth inning. The Cavaliers tied it in their half of the inning. But an unearned run scored by the Clan’s Dallas Tilley in the top of the eighth inning after she’d reached base on a throwing error proved the difference. Concordia loaded the bases with two out in the bottom of the inning, but Stachoski got Cavaliers’ batter Courtney Somers to fly out to right field to end the threat.
Saturday, after an 8-0 loss to Western Oregon in the opening game of their doubleheader, Stachoski kept the Clan in the playoff hunt by limiting the Wolves to just two hits in the Clan’s 4-0 victory. She also struck out six batters. The Clan took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning when Kate Fergusson singled home Victoria Saunders, who had reached base on an error than advanced to second when Taylor Gillis smacked a single to left center field. They then added three insurance runs — including a homer by Chelsea Hotner — in the top of the seventh inning to round out the scoring. The win meant four teams were log-jammed for third place in the conference heading into Sunday’s games. • Stachoski’s winning weekend earned her honours as the GNAC’s softball pitcher of the week. sports@tricitynews.com
