PUTTING THE SPIKE IN GOLDEN SPIKE
Social worker says boy had chaotic and impoverished childhood JANIS WARREN
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Coquitlam teen who pleaded guilty to “swatting” young gamers’ homes around North America is at a high risk to re-offend, a Crown lawyer told a judge Monday. Prosecutor Michael Bauer read from three psychiatrist and social worker reports during a sentencing hearing for the 17-year-old, who cannot be identified because of his age. Both psychiatrists who interviewed the teen recommended the court impose computer and internet bans due to his “revengeful” and “sadistic” cyberbullying traits. The teen pleaded guilty to 23 of 40 charges he was facing for extortion, public mischief and criminal harassment.
This robbery was personal: story, page 5 He committed the crimes last year against targets in Canada and the U.S. Coquitlam RCMP arrested him last December after he placed a 911 call that prompted police in Tucson, Ariz., to deploy its SWAT (special weapons and tactics) team to the home of a University of Arizona student. see TEEN TOLD, page 6

Blakeburn Lagoon park to be ready for summer 2017 Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
An old sewage treatment pond in Port Coquitlam believed to contain heavy metals and fecal coliform will be cleaned up and the area turned into a park. The extensive remediation of Blakeburn Lagoon — which was operated by the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District for sanitary sewer flows for homes and farms until the site was decommissioned in 1978 — has been on the city to-do list for years. The project includes a 27.2acre passive park with picnic tables and viewing areas near Blakeburn elementary school, and is expected to cost $2.8 million. It will be paid for with $1.9 million from the joint federal provincial Small Communities Fund, with the city picking up the remainder of the tab, plus $165,500 for parkland amenities not covered by the fund. An environmental assessment will be required to probe the site and determine the scope of work, with remediation to include removing the old piping and safely disposing of the water and the contaminated silt. (The sewer water from the neighbourhood was diverted to a trunk sewer system in 1978 and remaining wastes are within allowable limits for park use, according to the city, while rain water, not sewerage, continues to replenish the lagoons, although they occasionally dry up.) On Monday, when the announcement was made, two herons were standing in the stagnant water and flying around the lagoon.
Fire baN iN Moody, ThroughouT CoasT
A ban on open fires began Saturday in Port Moody as the Coastal Fire Centre announced its burning restriction. Campfires are prohibited in city parks, as are barbecues that require the use of charcoal briquettes or wood, tiki torches, fireworks, firecrackers and sky lanterns. As well, smoking is not permitted in Moody parks at any time. In a press release last Friday, PoMo Fire Chief Remo Faedo said the burning restrictions are needed to reduce the chance of accidental fires in both wooded and urban areas. “Right now, our forests are drier than usual and our weather is warmer than usual,” he said in the release. “This combination creates a higher risk for accidental fires.” Port Moody Fire Rescue maintains a four-step fire hazard rating with signs displayed at the northwest corner of Ioco Road and Murray Street (the former fire hall site). This rating is now “high” and the open fire burning ban will remain in effect until there is significant rainfall in the region. Both Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam do not allow open fires in their city parks.

But it’s the transition of the lagoons into a wildlife habitat preserve for exploration and study by residents and Blakeburn students that has the city’s mayor excited. “It opens up an area to the public for enjoyment,” said PoCo’s Greg Moore, who said he once skated on the lagoons when he was a kid and noted the park plan has been in the works since the 1990s. Residents have complained about vandalism and odours for years, and plans to turn the area into park was part of the city’s 2006 parks master plan, but the city never had enough money to do the extensive remediation work until now. The bulk of the funds will be used to clean up the site. Once the site is remedi-
ated, storm water and flood management systems for the Riverwood neighbourhood will be installed with construction of park amenities, such as trails, a lookout and a picnic area to follow. Completion is anticipated in the summer of 2017. Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam MP James Moore and Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer were both on hand for the announcement because the Small Communities Fund is a partnership between the two senior levels of government. Residents will be consulted as part of the landscaping plan, for more information visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/ blakeburn. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

In a store full of bicycles, it wasn’t hard to notice the one that was no longer there — a custom Trek, signed by three of the biggest names in cycling, that had been gifted to the Hobbis family on the occasion of Cap’s 75th anniversary in business in 2007. The bike was proudly displayed in the Cap’s Westwood Cycle store in Port Coquitlam, suspended about 10 feet in the air with ropes connected to the ceiling. The store’s Chelsea Hobbis believes it was nabbed by at least two thieves who came through the roof. “It was pretty professionally done — the glass was cut, not broken — it was pretty Mission Impossible,” Hobbis said. “You would have to be extremely familiar with the building, the location of the bicycle, just our overall security system as well. “You start to think about who works in the store, who was a past employee… but this is my family business and I can count on one hand the number of employees who have left on bad terms.” Hobbis said the theft has caught the family and staff “completely off guard” because, while the store has experienced thefts before, the previous crimes have never been quite so personal.

This special edition 2007 Trek Madone 6.9 SSL road bike was stolen recently from Cap’s Westwood Cycle in Port Coquitlam. The bicycle recognized Cap Hobbis’ legacy and the Hobbis family’s 75-year history in the bike business. A gift from the
Trek factory in Wisconsin, it was a custom-made 2007 Trek Madone 6.9 SSL, with signatures on the top tube from
Lance Armstrong, Gary Fisher and John Burke — making it a significant collectors’ item. Its top-of-the-line components put the value of the bike at about $13,000, Hobbis said. “These days, it’s not hard for a bicycle to get to that [price] point but back in 2007, it was a one-of-a-kind bicycle. You just didn’t see these kinds of components back then,” she said. “But we don’t care about the cost right now, it’s just the sentimental value.” The bicycle was the only tangible memento of the company’s 75th anniversary, and was particularly near and dear to the Hobbis family’s hearts because of the recent health struggles of owner Glen Hobbis. “Whoever did this knows my family and what we’ve been through, with my dad going through chemo for leukemia and how hard it’s been on the family and the business,” Hobbis said. “That’s the real hurt, that somebody who knows us could hurt us in this way.” But she added that she’s grateful for the community support the family has received since sharing news of the theft via social media. • Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact Coquitlam RCMP at 604945-1550 and quote file number 2015-19469. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

The Port Moody Police Department does not get many recovered children’s bikes that go unclaimed but close to a dozen that have been gathered over the last few years were given to students in need at Moody elementary school last Friday. Const. Luke van Winkel and the PMPD worked with the Port Moody Rotary Club to deliver the bikes, which were readied for riding by the mechanics at Cap’s Westwood Cycle.

Teen told psych. his victims ‘deserved’ to be swatted

“You haven’t really had a childhood,” the judge said Monday. leaving his online community and he had no motivation other than to live in a small apartment with his computer. Bauer told the judge the teen’s 29 victims — whose names were read out in court but cannot be identified under a publication ban — were traumatized after police surrounded their homes (some with police helicopters hovering above), led out at gunpoint and in handcuffs in front of their neighbours. Many had to take steps to protect their online security. Bauer said the teen’s “astounding number of offences” last year also caused police to divert resources from serious emergencies in their respective cities. Defence lawyer Stephen Martin was brief in his sub-
mission, telling Judge Patricia Janzen his client was 16 years old at the time of the crime — “The stupidest age group in society. I don’t think he understood the consequences,” Martin said. He called the teen a loner and a computer geek who was part of an online group involving 20 people. “He isn’t a lone wolf,” Martin said. By voluntarily confessing to his crimes, Martin said the teen saved prosecutors from having to fly in the victims from around North America and put them up in hotels to testify and prove the allegations. “He gave the Crown their case on a silver platter,” Martin said, noting the teen saved taxpayers $150,000 in costs by avoiding a trial.

uniform and occasionally flipping his hair to the side, the teen told the judge he wanted to return to school. “I see that I was having a lot of time on my hands,” he said of last year. “I wasn’t really doing anything productive and that can lead to criminal activity.” The teen said he had no career paths but he wanted to get outside, develop his social skills and be “a normal teenager.” “You haven’t really had a childhood, I’ll tell you, by what I’ve read,” the judge responded. The Crown is seeking a 16month custodial sentence — minus the eight months he has already served — plus another eight months under community supervision. If those conditions are imposed, that would mean the teen would be out of jail in March 2016. The Crown is also seeking a number of conditions, including no-contact orders for his 29 victims, no internet or computer access, permission for peace officers to search his home for computers and 100 hours of community work. The judge is scheduled to render her decision July 9.

Reading from the first report, Bauer said the teen told a psychiatrist the Arizona student “deserved” to be swatted and he blamed her for his aberrant actions. The teen claimed his swats “amused” his victims and gained him respect and admiration from the online community with which he was linked. As most of his victims were young women, they were more emotional and would yield a greater amusement value, Bauer read. The teen also disavowed responsibility for what other people did with his victims’ credit card numbers that he exposed on the internet. The psychiatrist characterized the teen as having a narcissistic personality, taking “sadistic delight in the discomfort he caused his victims,” Bauer told the judge. Another psychiatrist wrote about the teen’s abusive, chaotic and disruptive childhood while the social worker wrote about his school’s attempts to convince him to attend. The school officials noted the teen’s home was “impoverished and filthy,” and his mother couldn’t control him. The teen also told the psychiatrists he wasn’t interested in
A 39-year-old man who police believe is responsible for a string of thefts in Port Moody, New Westminster, Richmond and Kelowna is facing charges after being arrested recently in Coquitlam. Paul Hebert was allegedly driving a stolen vehicle when the Coquitlam RCMP’s Prolific Target Team caught up with him on June 18. Police said a helicopter was called in to assist in the arrest and the suspect was taken into custody without incident. Police had been searching for the suspect since last fall but fingerprints found on a stolen vehicle in Coquitlam earlier this month made Hebert a priority. He is now facing one count of possession of stolen property over $5,000, two counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and a charge of driving while prohibited. He also has 12 outstanding arrest warrants from more than five jurisdictions. Hebert has been held in custody since his arrest and was scheduled to appear in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court yesterday (Tuesday).

In the last election, Mayor Mike Clay spent $41,239 to win his seat back while challenger Gaetan Royer spent $61,768 on his campaign. Under the plan, mayoralty candidates in cities with more than 10,000 residents could spend $1 per capita for the first 15,000 population and $0.55 per capita for 15,000 to 150,000 population, $0.60 per capita for 150,000 to 250,000 population, and $0.15 per capita for the remaining population. Candidates for council and school trustee could spend $0.50 per capita for the first 15,000 population. $0.28 for 15,000 to 150,000 population, $0.30 for 150,000 to 250,000, and $0.08 for the remaining population. Meanwhile, spending on election campaigns in towns with populations of 10,000 or fewer people would be capped at $10,000 for mayor and $5,000 for council and school trustee. Coquitlam-Maillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson, deputy chair of the committee — and a former Coquitlam city councillor — said the recommendations acknowledge the election differences between towns and larger cities.
“The committee unanimously agreed to recommend flexible expense limits which recognize the different needs of smaller and larger communities as well as the differences between mayoral candidates and candidates for other locally elected offices,” Robinson stated in a press release. Third party advertisers would also see caps on spending of up to 5% of the mayoral candidate’s limit, with similar caps for trustee and council candidates. The spending limits would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year. (The next municipal elections in B.C. will be held in 2018.) The recommended rules still have to be approved by the legislature but the BC Liberal and NDP members of the committee endorsed them unanimously. They are part of a series of local election reforms that included extending terms to four years. B.C. is joining Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador in placing spending limits on at least some of their local elections.

TransLink will open up its board meetings to the public starting this fall in what it says is a move to become more transparent and accountable. “We welcome public scrutiny,” said vice chair Barry Forbes, who announced the change at TransLink’s annual general meeting last Friday. Exactly how much new information is released and actual debate on policy is witnessed by the public and the media is yet to be seen. Fraser Health holds part of its board meetings in public, but that consists mainly of carefully staged staff presentations and a public

of appointed professional directors. Since last fall, two mayors have sat on the board as well and the mayors’ council had been pressing for years for more transparency. “What’s changed is the board has recognized it’s the people’s transportation system. It belongs to all of us, so we’ve got to be more open,” Forbes said. Interim CEO Doug Allen said TransLink is waiting for the outcome of the transit tax plebiscite to see “what world we’re in.”

TransLink pledges to open up its board meetings question period, rather than real debate between directors on the critical policy issues, which all happens behind closed doors. Forbes confirmed some topics will still be dealt with in camera, but indicated those would be the usual ones requiring confidentiality that prompt closed meetings by other public bodies — personnel, land and labour negotiations. The move ends seven years of making decisions behind closed doors since 2008, when the provincial government remade TransLink’s structure, removed mayors and councillors who previously ran open board meetings, and replaced them with a system

A special provincial committee on municipal election financing recommends caps for political spending but no donation limits for unions and developers, except for thirdparty advertisers. The recommendation would mean little change for larger cities, such as Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, but could put a dent in spending in hotly contested votes in smaller towns, such as Port Moody, where the battle for the mayor’s job last November resulted in hefty expenditures. Under the proposed new provincial regs, in Coquitlam, which had a 2011 census-recorded population of 127,000, allowable spending for a mayoral election would be about $76,600 — slightly more than the $73,460 Mayor Richard Stewart spent on his reelection bid last year — while Port Coquitlam’s population of about 58,000 would mean a cap of $38,650 to run for mayor. In that city, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore spent $38,491 on his campaign last fall, just slightly below the recommended limit. It would be in Port Moody where mayoral candidates would have to be more circumspect in their spending, based on the recommended formula that has yet to be introduced to the legislature. In that city, with an estimated population of 34,000, the spending cap for mayor would be about $25,450.

Warning ends as clouds return Jeff Nagel Black Press
An air quality advisory issued Saturday by Metro Vancouver due to high concentrations of ground-level ozone ended Monday. The advisory — the first one this summer — applied in eastern parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley as hot weather broke temperature records in many areas. Cooler temperatures and, more importantly, an increase in cloud cover has since resulted in less sunshine producing ozone, according to Ken Reid, Metro’s superintendent of environmental sampling and monitoring. During advisory periods, residents are urged to avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially the elderly, infants and those with respiratory conditions, and seek air-conditioned indoor spaces. Ground-level ozone is caused when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in sunlight on hot days. VOCs mainly come from vehicle emissions, solvent and fuel evaporation, farming, as well as natural sources such as vegetation. Emissions from vehicles have steadily declined in recent years due to improving technology but Metro has projected the recent trend of improving air quality could reverse and worsen from 2020 to 2030, due to growth in Lower Mainland population and traffic. Residents can help reduce air emissions in the region by minimizing use of vehicles, taking transit or carpooling, minimizing the use of lawn mowers and other gas-powered engines, avoiding idling your vehicle, and avoiding refuelling it at the hottest time of the day. For air quality health index information see bcairquality.ca, for data on local stations see http:// gis.metrovancouver.org/ airmap/ and for visual air quality camera views in the Lower Mainland see www. clearairbc.ca/community/ Pages/default.aspx. Smoke from wildfires so far hasn’t been a significant problem in the Lower Mainland, except for the Sea-to-Sky corridor around Squamish, where there was significant smoke earlier in the month from the Elaho Valley fire. But that could change quickly as the wildfire risk is high to extreme in the region. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel

SUMMER HEaRing SavingS
Relax, local dog owners, Mundy off-leash times will remain gaRy McKeNNa The Tri-CiTy News
Over the last week, Coquitlam councillors and staff have been inundated with angry emails and phone calls from residents demanding the city keep its daily dawn-to-10 a.m. off-leash dog time at Mundy Park. There’s just one problem: The city isn’t making any changes to the Mundy offleash times and, according to Mayor Richard Stewart, it is actually expanding off-leash opportunities at the park. He believes the confusion stems from council’s decision to spend $42,000 for a new designated off-leash trail. Stewart said some residents are under the impression the new loop will come at the expense of the dawn-to-10 a.m. off-leash times — which is not the case. “Our goal was not only to continue the hugely popular mornings but, also, to find a solution for those who wanted to walk their dogs during afternoons or evenings so that we could also have trails for non-dog-walkers later in the day,” Stewart said in an email to The Tri-City News. “We think
we found the perfect balance, though I know that there are many who will become very interested if anyone talks about dogs off-leash at Mundy.” The new off-leash loop will provide a 20- to 30-minute walk in the southeast corner of the park near the current fenced off-leash area near Mariner, according to a staff report. Last week, council approved a report that will see $175,000 spent on trail upgrades in the park. The dog off-leash loop is expected to cost $42,000 while another $40,000 will be spent on overall trail system improvements, way-finding and signage. Coquitlam will also be adding a no-dog trail loop, at a cost of $93,000, which will be located on the paths going to Mundy Lake, with an additional loop south of the Owl Trail. According to the staff report, the latter loop was chosen for residents who “seek a dog-free environment.” The report added that dogs are not currently permitted in the area, which is more environmentally sensitive than other sections of the park. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Re. “Mundy Park will get off-leash trail loop” (The Tri-City News, June 24). In the referenced story, it was reported the new off-leash dog trail at Mundy Park would cost $175,000. In fact, that total will cover the cost of the off-leash trail loop ($42,000) as well other trail system improvements, way-finding and signage ($40,000) and a no-dog trail loop ($93,000).

OUR OPINION
They’re coming for the unions “Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist”
T
his line from a poem by Martin Niemöller, an outspoken critic of Hitler, his anti-democratic tactics and the Jewish genocide, is distressingly appropriate to consider today, Canada day. While we celebrate our freedoms, such as the freedom to associate and collectively bargain for working conditions, there is a nasty and petty bill before the Senate that is unCanadian in its intent to remove some freedoms from unionized Canadians. You don’t have to be a union member to take offence. bill C-377 is a Conservative private member’s bill that is attempting to eviscerate privacy rules for unions and employee associations while other groups, such as privately held companies, clubs, groups and
employer associations, are protected. The bill before the Senate this week would require unions to disclose to the Canada Revenue agency details of any spending over $5,000 and salaries over $100,000 for posting online. Proponents say it’s in the public interest because union dues are tax deductible but groups as diverse as the National Hockey League Players’
association and the Canadian bar association say it’s an invasion of privacy. union members — i.e., the people whose money is being spent — already have access to the information. Simply, this bill is an attempt to embarrass unions that are involved in political activities. Some might say it’s appropriate because Canada is already a nanny state.

but this kind of snooping only targets unions and employee groups but is surprisingly mum on expenditure and salary disclosure rules for private corporations and other groups that benefit from taxpayer subsidies and may also make political donations. Yes, this bill is just a cynical vote-getting ploy but it will affect a large number of Canadians, not just union members and supporters, who could lose their privacy rights if they do business or contract work with a union. What group is the Stephen Harper Conservatives’ next target — people who like to wear plaid? Sadly, it’s the discredited Senate, with its own problems with expense rules and oversight, that has the last say, with the Conservative majority shutting down debate to ram through the legislation. on Canada day of all days, we say: How very un-Canadian.

KINDER MORGAN PIPELINE
PORT MOODY
The Editor, Re. “City looks to Kinder to cover some costs” (The Tri-City News, June 26). With regards to the impact the Kinder Morgan pipeline will have on our community, it’s a good thing Coquitlam has intervenor status. If my memory serves me, it was Coun. Bonita Zarrillo who pushed for this. I found it interesting to read that councillors Dennis Marsden and Terry O’Neill are opposed to trying to recoup any expenses incurred by the city over the years that Kinder Morgan has been operating here. After all, one has to feel a great deal of pity for Richard Kinder, who resides in Texas and whose net worth Forbes estimates at $11.2 billion. God knows, we wouldn’t want to inflict any financial hardship on this poor soul, who earns a million dollars a day in royalties. The taxpayers of
The Editor, Re. “Get the most out of city land, says Lahti” (The Tri-City News, June 26) plus “PoCo staffing costs are down” and “$1M more in salaries for Port Moody” (June 24). So, Port Moody Coun. Meghan Lahti would like to sell public land to save taxes? It is always easier to sell off public land than to make staff and budget cuts or paint one less garbage truck with art. How is it possible Port Moody staff wages went up one million dollars in 2014 while Port Coquitlam cut $400,000 in wages the same fiscal year? Coun. Lahti claims 35-year-old Kyle Centre, which only requires a new roof, siding and paint job, is at the end of its lifespan yet it was deemed more important by the previous council for
Mr. Kinder has plenty of cash for Coquitlam
COUN. BONITA ZARRILLO Coquitlam probably won’t mind picking up the tab. It’s interesting to note whose interests these two councillors are more concerned with: an American billionaire or Coquitlam taxpayers. I will definitely remember this come the next municipal election and I hope other Coquitlam residents do too. My votes will be for those councillors who are looking out for the best interests of the residents of

MUSIC
Singer takes to two stages on the country’s birthday Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Cassandra Bangel has used her music to travel the world, but this Canada Day she’ll be treating audiences at celebrations in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam to songs from her latest EP, Marry the Moon. A Pinetree secondary and SFU grad, Bangel will perform a solo looping set at Castle Park in PoCo, followed by another looping show at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park at 4:30 p.m.
and a later performance, this time with her band, at 7:30 p.m., also at the Arts Village. “I was co-ordinating performances with Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam and luckily they were both interested,” Bangel said of the jam-packed day. “I’ll be doing a full set of music, mostly originals and I’ll slip in a few covers that people know.” Bangel is known for using a loop pedal, a device that records audio for a chosen length of time and then incorporates
it back into the song, giving her solo shows a multi-layered, complex sound. “I loop my own voice so I have my own gang of background singers,” Bangel joked. “It doesn’t really replace a full band, but it gives that impression and excitement of a full band.” Bangel started playing live shows as a teen, soon after returning to the piano lessons she’d dropped as a kid. “I started writing songs on my own as a pre-teen, and
presents
then I realized if I’m going to write songs I’d better know how to play an instrument,” she said. Soon she was playing in local coffee shops and open mic nights, followed by gigs in the city and, after graduating from SFU, a five-month stint on a cruise ship that left from Sydney, Australia. Since she returned in January she has been performing around Metro Vancouver.
If you’re looking to chill with some great music and cultural activities under the hot sun on Canada Day, the Tri-Cities has lots of entertainment on the nation’s 148th birthday. Coquitlam Town Centre Park on Pinetree Way will be buzzing — from noon on — with sounds on three platforms: the Cultural Village, Arts Village and Coquitlam stages. And there’s plenty to please everyone, from classical (Coquitlam Youth Orchestra) and celtic (Blackthorn) to Coast Salish and kids’ tunes (Good Day Sunshine Band). Meanwhile, the Vancouver party band Groove n Tonic will fire up the Coquitlam Stage at 8:15 p.m. just before the pyrotechnics blast off at 10 p.m. above Lafarge Lake. Parking is free but limited at Town Centre Park, Douglas College and Pinetree community centre so stop your ride at Gleneagle secondary school and catch a free shuttle bus between 11:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. Attendees are also encouraged to wear red or white to be part of a Living Flag to celebrate the flag’s 50th year; meet at the north end of Lafarge Lake at 1:45 p.m. Social media users can also type in the hashtag #ehcoquitlam and share their photo for a chance to win one of three $50 gift certificates to Coquitlam Centre mall. Visit coquitlam.ca/canadaday. Over in Port Coquitlam, the showcase runs from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Castle Park (corner of Castle Crescent and Citadel Drive). Hosted by Brad Rossington, the entertainment includes: Mellado Dance Group, Royal Scottish Country Society, K&S Dance, Kalaya’s Hawaiian Dancers, Wilson Centre Seniors Choir, Cassandra Bangel, Diaspora Greek Band, Golden Spike Can Can Dancers, Nahualli Folklore and Heather Jolley’s Scottish Dancers. There will also be an international bazaar, featuring the cultural wares from the community on display and for sale. And three bands will hit the stage from 6:30 to 10 p.m.: Gypsy Band Parno Drom, the Swagger Kings and Good for Grapes — last year’s Peak Performance Project winner. The fireworks, courtesy of the Onni Group, burst in the night sky at around 10:10 p.m. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/ canadaday. Port Moody will also host a Canada Day event — on a smaller scale than their neighbours this year — from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Rocky Point Park on Murray Street. During the family picnic, hear from musician Tony Prophet, the Coastal Sound Children’s Choir, the Vancouver Traveling Band and The Crayons.

Locally, she’s been part of the house band at the Two Lions Pub in North Vancouver and, here in the Tri-Cities, at the John B. Pub and Woody’s Pub. It’s a schedule that keeps Bangel and her band working as full-time musicians. She’s also been busy writing new music, including the Marry the Moon track released last Friday on the Tri-City radio station CKPM-FM 98.7. “I kind of have this romantic fixation on the moon. It’s such a lovely feature of the night sky and I always look forward

to seeing the moon when it’s full. It’s just a quirky little thing that I like,” Bangel said, adding, “The song is a little narrative about a woman who’s fascinated by the moon, and perhaps her ambitions are a little too lofty. It’s an ironic little fairy tale about wanting to marry something that’s completely out of reach.” • Cassandra Bangel plays July 1 at Castle Park in Port Coquitlam at 2:30 p.m., followed by shows at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Visit cassandrabangel.com for more information.

EVERGREEN CULTURAL CENTRE
Summer sizzles with Music on the Grill JaniS Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Tickets are going fast for this Saturday’s concert featuring blues crooner Jim Byrnes, who returns to the Evergreen Cultural Centre to kick off the seventh annual Music on the Grill series. Byrnes will appear at the Coquitlam venue July 4 and promises his show will have an authentic southern feel to mark Independence Day in the United States. “It’ll be a southern night: a lot of gospel and a lot of soul sounds,” he told The Tri-City News. The St. Louis, Missouri-born Byrnes will share the stage with The Sojourners, a spiritual ensemble made up of Texan native Marcus Mosely, Will Sanders of Louisiana and Khari McClelland who moved from Detroit to Vancouver seven years ago. Byrnes and the The Sojourners will each play solo sets before ending with a joint “extravaganza,” Byrnes said. “The energy is going to be really good.” The Juno-award winning Byrnes, who for last year’s Music on the Grill was paired with Babe Gurr, said he enjoys playing the 257-seat theatre because of the hospitality of the centre managers and the

vibrant crowd. “It’s always a really great night,” he said. “It’s an enjoyable experience for us every time.” But while the barbecue before Byrnes’ show is already sold out, tickets are still up for
grabs for the next two Grill events with the meal option. On July 25, singer Don Stewart — another familiar name to the Evergreen — teams up with the Miles Black Quartet for a jazz gig (in 2011, Stewart played Nat ‘King’
Cole in a tribute show with Cayla Brooke as Peggy Lee). And their concert will also feature a folk component with Celtic fiddler Kiérah and Andy Hillhouse (Mad Pudding and The McDades) opening the evening.
Finally, wrapping up the series on Aug. 8 is the folk/ country group The Travelling Mabels with Rebecca Lappa, a modern folk singer from Edmonton. The Mabels — better known as Eva Levesque, Lana Floen and Suzanne Levesque (with Keith Floen as band leader) — were named the ACMA 2011 Group of the Year and draw their influences from Dolly Parton, The Eagles,
Bob Dylan and Sheryl Crow. Their Evergreen performance is The Mabels’ only B.C. date for the rest of this year. • Tickets for the concert and BBQ are $55, or $35 for just the concert. Call the box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca. The series is sponsored by Aaargon Dental Centre. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

The NHL Entry Draft may not have played out exactly how Mathew Barzal predicted, but the 18-year-old said he was thrilled to have been chosen by the New York Islanders. The Coquitlam hockey product was projected to go in the top ten, but fell to the 16th spot in Florida last Friday night, where the Islanders selected him after trading defenseman Griffin Reinhart to Edmonton for the pick. Barzal told ESPN after the selection that he had no idea the club, which is based in Brooklyn, N.Y., was interested in him. “To be honest, they were one of the teams I didn’t even talk to,” said Barzal, who was interviewed by 25 different clubs at the NHL combine earlier this month. “I had no idea this was coming.” The fact the team traded to acquire the pick shows they appreciate his abilities and were keen to get him into their system, he added. “At the start of the day, if you told me I was going to be an Islander, I wouldn’t have believed it,” he told reporters. “Giving up Griffin Reinhart, he’s a big asset. For them to jump up and pick me like that, it shows they have interest in me. You want to go to a team that really appreciates your game. I’m so happy they jumped up and grabbed me.” Barzal grew up in the TriCities and played his minor hockey at the Burnaby Winter Club. He even donned a Coquitlam Express jersey for six games during the 2012-

MATHEW BARZAL ’13 season before joining the Seattle Thunderbirds in the WHL, where he has played ever since. A knee injury sidelined Barzal for a large part of this season, but he still managed to rack up 12 goals and 45 assists in the 44 games he played. He was also stellar in the postseason, where he scored four goals and four assists in six games. “It was tough going down the knee injury but I was pretty proud of how I bounced back,” he said during a media scrum at the combine earlier this month. “I worked hard rehabbing.” Since he has gotten back on the ice, he said his knee has been fine and there have been no setbacks. The 5’11” Barzal is known for his offensive prowess with good skating and puckhandling abilities and many scouts and NHL experts had predicted would go higher in the draft. Several teams, including the Colorado Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild seemed like strong fits for the offensiveminded forward, but ended up making different selections. see ‘I had no Idea’, page 16

But when the Boston Bruins started making trades to load up on picks in the run up to the draft, Barzal thought there was a possibility he could be headed to Beantown. “I was a little bit [surprised about Boston], to be honest, and may the other picks too,” he told ESPN after the selection. “You never know with a draft like this and the talent in this age group. Anything could have happened.” The Islanders were not scheduled to pick in the first or second rounds, decided that Barzal was too good to pass up. They sent Reinhart, a 21-year-old first-rounder from the 2012 draft, to Edmonton for the 16th and 33 overall pick. They selected Barzal with the 16th and traded the 33rd to Tampa Bay for the 28th pick, which they used to select
