JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam resident Steve Roberts in his 1974 Jensen Healey, a rare British two-seater convertible sports car that took him seven years — and $35,000 — to rebuild. On Sunday, Roberts will display the collector vehicle in the 11th annual Port Coquitlam BIA car show, of which he is the director of car placement.
Steve Roberts inherited the car from his dad as “a bucket of bolts.” The dilapidated Jensen Healey convertible sports car — a rare British import — had been in the family for years before the Coquitlam resident hauled it up from California to give it a second life. He had hoped to spend only $2,500 on the rebuild but, after he started tinkering around, Roberts’ budget was soon out the window. The bodywork by Ritchie Bros. in Port Coquitlam revealed the collector vehicle had been in three accidents. Roberts also had a Lotus 2L twin overhead cam motor, built by B & J Parts in PoCo, installed while Mark Erickson painted it a bright, shiny yellow — much sunnier than its original mustard-yellow colour. “I really wanted it to stand out,” Roberts said. After seven years of sweat and tears, Roberts tallied the cost of the restoration: $35,000. see HUndREdS, page 5
FEDERAL CAMPAIGN
Byelection coming in Burke Horne not allowed to hold MLA seat during federal run Janis Warren
The Tri-CiTy News
Voters in the provincial riding of Coquitlam-Burke Mountain will head to the polls early next year to elect a new MLA. Yesterday, BC Liberal MLA Doug Horne — the deputy
speaker of the Legislative Assembly — was officially announced as the Conservative candidate to HORNE replace MP James Moore in the federal election. Moore said in June he would not seek another term but would stay on as the MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam and as industry
minister until the Oct. 19 decision. Reached Tuesday at his constituency office, which he was cleaning out, Horne told The Tri-City News he had yet to tender his resignation as MLA. Under Elections Canada rules, potential federal candidates must sign a form to confirm they are a Canadian citizen, at least 19 years old and not a member of a provincial legislative assembly or a territorial body. Now, with the acclamation,
Horne said his office will be closed until the provincial byelection race is over. As a result, his constituency work will be handled by fellow BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer (Port Moody-Coquitlam). Asked if he would run for his provincial seat should he lose his federal bid, Horne responded: “I don’t intend to lose. I’m going to work really hard to win and, obviously, that’s my goal at this point.”

Pacific Coast Terminals is planning on building an island east of the Reed Point Marina that it said will help improve fish habitat in the area. The project is part of the company’s environmental mitigation work, but Mossom Creek Hatchery founder Rod MacVicar believes it may do more harm than good.
ON THE WATERFRONT
Divergent opinions on Reed Island PCT says project will improve the inlet’s fish habitat
species that reside there. “Their reviews didn’t show any of this,” he said. “Sometimes, you don’t see it if the visibility isn’t good.”
AN IMPROVEMENT
GaRy McKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
When Rod MacVicar describes what lies beneath the water near Reed Point Marina in the Port Moody inlet, he paints a picture of an underwater ecosystem teeming with life. On a good day, mollusks, gaper clams and schools of cutthroat can be seen in the area, which is also inhabited by a bed of giant pink sea stars that MacVicar said could be some of the largest in the world. “If you go down during good visibility with divers that are knowledgeable, you see things that are absolutely unique in the world,” said the marine biologist and co-founder of the Mossom Creek Hatchery. “It is a very productive area.” But the scene MacVicar describes is at odds with the one painted by consultants working for Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT), which recently applied to expand its operations. The company is currently building a large shed near the sulphur piles and will begin work to enlarge its rail capacity as part of its effort to ship potash through the port. To mitigate some of the environmental damage caused by widening the rail line, which will expand along the shore on the west side of the property,
SubMITTEd pHoTo
Giant pink star fish are a common sight under the water near Reed Point Marina. Mossom Creek Hatchery founder Rod MacVicar said divers have also found gaper clams, mollusks and schools of cutthroat in the area. PCT has offered to build an island east of Reed Point Marina, to be called Reed Island. The company and its consultants said it will enhance the marine habitat in the area by creating an artificial reef and an intertidal zone. But MacVicar said building the island will mean dumping rocks on top of existing sea
life. And he disagrees with the consultant’s assertions that there is no marine life in the area of special concern, noting the giant starfish as just one example he has personally seen. “Anytime you criticize their consultant, they almost take it personally,” he said. “They are being paid big bucks. I’m a volunteer.”
MacVicar, along with the Burke Mountain Naturalists conservation/education chair, Elaine Golds, spoke out against PCT’s plans during a Port Moody council meeting last month. Councillors later voted in favour of a motion to send a letter to the company and Port Metro Vancouver expressing
concern over the loss of habitat and calling for more “meaningful public consultation” when ecologically sensitive areas are lost. MacVicar said the island PCT plans to build would destroy more than 50% of the habitat that already exists in the area and would be a major blow to some of the unique
Wade Leslie, vice-president and general manager of Pacific Coast Terminals, said there will be a transition period for the habitat while the island is being built. But he said biologists hired by the company have assured it that, in the long run, the environment will be improved as a result of their work. “In our opinion, the environmental impact will be a net benefit at the end of the day,” he said. “At the end of the project, we will have a surrounding environment that will be improved.” The island, he said, has been designed by marine biologists. It will not be accessible to the public, noting that a similar project created in False Creek next to Vancouver’s Olympic Village lost much of its environmental benefits when it became a popular picnic area. Leslie said the company has been in touch with environmental stakeholders and that he was surprised by some of the opposition he saw to the project at the Port Moody council meeting. “Rod [MacVicar] and our biologist have a difference of opinion,” he said. “They simply have different sets of opinions. We have done the studies. We have put the cameras down there.” see WATERFRONT, page 4

“We have gone out with our gumboots and got dirty to look at what is out there.” It is not just the company’s consultants who support the proposal, Leslie added, noting that Environment Canada, Port Metro Vancouver and Fisheries and Oceans Canada have all signed off on the plans. Despite the approvals, he said he would be open to sitting down with stakeholders once again to go over the project. “Well, let’s meet and let’s hear your concerns,” he said. “We have had plenty of input during the consulting phase. We are still quite open to meeting with the different stewardship groups in the community.”

in fact, improve the habitat. “PCT has a record of doing the right thing,” MacVicar said, noting that he understands development and industry are
necessary on the waterfront. But with the expansion of the terminals and questions around the future of the Flavelle sawmill site next to Rocky Point Park, he said it might be time for the city to come up with a strategy for its waterfront. Decisions need to be made now, MacVicar added, in order to ensure residents continue to have access to the city’s coastline. “Will it just be industry?” he asks. “There should be an overall plan and an overall philosophy for the shape of the waterfront in Port Moody.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
Five fraudsters sought by cops Sarah Payne
The Tri-CiTy News
A group of two women and three men are suspected of using fraudulent credit cards to purchase tens of thousands of dollars of merchandise at several businesses, according to Coquitlam RCMP. The transactions occurred between May 4 and July 2. Coquitlam RCMP’s Economic Crime Section began their investigation on July 22 and have been able to pinpoint the five suspects. It’s believed three of the suspects worked together to make the allegedly fraudulent transactions. Investigators obtained still images from video surveillance at the businesses and are now asking for the public’s help to identify them. The first is described as a woman in her late 20s to early 30s with a slim build and long blond hair. The second is a woman about 30 years old with bleached blond hair and two tattoos, one of a spider web on her right shoulder and scissors on her right calf. The third suspect is a man with darker skin and an average build while the fourth is a Caucasian man with an average build and short dark hair. A fifth suspect is described
as a bald Caucasian man with an average build and wearing glasses. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2015-24017 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at www.solvecrime.ca.

POCO CAR SHOW
Hundreds of cars will be on display continued from front page
“It was much more than me or the wife wanted to spend but it was worth it. We love it.” Now, Roberts enjoys showing off his 1974 prize, displaying it at car events around Metro Vancouver and Whistler. Last month, he exhibited it at the second annual Ultimate Car Show at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam. On Sunday, Roberts will bring the beauty back to Port Coquitlam for the Business Improvement Association’s 11th annual car show, of which he is the car placement director. His Jensen — one of only six left in B.C. — has garnered trophies from past PoCo BIA shows and his engine is one of the most photographed at the event, he said. But his is only one rebuild story out of hundreds that can be heard at the city’s biggest attraction of the year. Up to 60,000 people are expected to attend this year’s car show to view the 400-plus vintage, collector, muscle and other unique vehicles parked on the downtown streets. Car show emcee Bruce Richardson said organizers strive for a “bigger and better” fete every year that’s fun for the family. “It’s not just for big boys and their toys,” said Richardson, who will have two classics at the show: a 1950 Chevy and a 1939 Chevy, the latter of which took him a dozen years to refurbish with a nice satin black finish. Fifty kids who pre-registered online will get a chance to take part in the inaugural Model-T plastic toy build at Leigh Square Community Arts Village and there will be plenty of other all-ages’ activities happening all day.
Also different about this year’s event will be a cruise for participants the night before. At 5 p.m. on Saturday, drivers will parade their vehicles from the PoCo recreation complex to Kingsway Avenue, cross the Coast Meridian Overpass to Apel and Victoria drives in Coquitlam before circling back via Cedar Drive and Prairie Avenue. From there, the cars will head up Oxford Street to David Avenue and head west to the end before looping in front of Heritage Woods secondary and returning to PoCo via Shaughnessy Street and driving up Citadel Drive. The PoCo firefighters will have a burger barbecue at Leigh Square on their return, about an hour later. Richardson said he doesn’t know how many vehicles will be in the parade; however, they expect the same number as last year: about 50. Meanwhile, on Sunday, Richardson is asking for the public’s patience with the street closures. All the roads between Elgin and Wilson avenues will be blocked off, between Shaughnessy Street and Mary Hill Road (Mary Hill Road will remain open to traffic). As for the area where the fire happened last month — a blaze that destroyed four Shaughnessy Street businesses — car show chairperson Coun. Dean Washington said organizers and city staff are still figuring out the details; however, they want to make sure the retailers close to the fire zone can stay open during the car show, he said. • The 11th annual Port Coquitlam BIA car show is on Sunday, Aug. 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free.

‘I don’t intend to lose,’ says Horne continued from front page
Already, the jockeying has begun to find his replacement. A few city councillors in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam have been approached by the BC Liberals and BC NDP; however, should they step forward for nomination they, too, would prompt a by-election should they be chosen to run and win. With Horne currently in place, voters in the new federal riding of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam have a full slate at the ballot box. Horne faces the
NDP’s Sara Norman, Ron McKinnon for the Liberals and Brad Nickason for the Greens. David Riley, the Conservative riding president and Horne’s campaign manager, said three people had applied to fill Moore’s shoes but two filed “incomplete paperwork.” Former Coquitlam council candidate Andy Shen had told The Tri-City News he had been on leave from his job since late June to work on his campaign. He could not be reached for comment Thursday. jwarren@tricitynews.com

A Port Coquitlam family hopes Tri-City residents will take a moment to enjoy a cool ice cream treat tomorrow, Aug. 13, and help support the BC Children’s Hospital. Thursday is Miracle Treat Day when proceeds from Blizzards sold at participating Dairy Queens will support critical research, education and life-saving equipment for the hospital that helps so many sick children, including Clara Howorth, who was five when she was diagnosed with leukemia. Today, after more than two years of treatment, Clara’s cancer is now in remission and the Grade 4 Blakeburn elementary student is winning prizes for her dancing. Her mom, Andrea, said the family is extremely grateful for the care and support Clara received at BC Children’s and hopes Tri-City residents will join them in a Blizzard treat tomorrow so other families will

Clara Howorth, a cancer survivor, hopes money can be raised for the BC Children’s Hospital so kids like her can get the help they need. get similar treatment. In all, about 840 youngsters are in active treatment for cancer at BC Children’s Hospital each year. “What a great excuse for an ice cream,” Howorth said, who added that her daughter has bounced back and is an active, happy, healthy young girl. “We credit children’s hospital for saving Clara’s life,” Howarth noted.
She said other children in the Tri-City area have been stricken with cancer recently and all are getting treatment at BC Children’s Hospital so visiting Dairy Queen tomorrow will help them, too. “We’re really trying to spread the word and support these charities,” Howarth added. BC Children’s Hospital is the province’s only full-service acute-care hospital and serves close to one million children living in B.C. and the Yukon. All children who are seriously ill or injured are referred to Children’s Hospital and are either treated at the hospital facility in Vancouver or, with consultation from Children’s specialists, in their home community. Last year, more than 84,000 children were treated at Children’s Hospital. Funds raised by BC Children’s Hospital Foundation are used to support BC Children’s Hospital, its research institute and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. This year marks the 13th annual Miracle Treat Day; Dairy Queen has been involved with Children’s Miracle Network since 1984 raising more than $100 million nationwide.

An outdoor charity dinner that was to be a Terry Fox Foundation fundraiser will now direct its proceeds to the Michael Cuccione Foundation. The Diva en Blanc on Aug. 22 — an outdoor picnic-style dinner at which guests will be wearing all white, at a location that will only be revealed on the day of the event — had been selling tickets for about a month. Proceeds from the sale of tickets, which are $130 each, were to go to the Terry Fox Foundation. But the divas — Port Moody Coun. Diana Dilworth, event
Foundation’s BC/Yukon branch, said there was some confusion around the divas’ offer this year. “The foundation functions under a set of policies that have remained true to Terry’s wishes since 1980,” she wrote in an email. “One of these policies is that any event that bears Terry’s name must be accessible to all, have no entry fee, and that donations must be entirely voluntary. “We have more than 9,000 events that take place across the country. They must all abide by this guiding principle.” • Visit www.divaenblanc. com for more information.

The Stage 3 water restrictions may have gone into effect three weeks ago but it seems like some Tri-City residents still aren’t getting the message about conservation. Since the tighter Stage 3 rules kicked in late last month, the city of Coquitlam has logged about 450 complaints and issued 77 tickets to residents and businesses. Steffanie Warriner, the city’s manager of environmental services, said city staff have followed up on each call and levied fines to offenders after evidence was confirmed.

The Port Moody-Coquitlam Conservative flag-bearer Tim Laidler has the best chance at winning the riding if the NDP, Liberals and Green Party split the left vote, said Leadnow campaigner Jolan Bailey and the group doesn’t want that to happen. “Based on the new boundaries, we looked at the ways the voters in those neighbourhoods voted and results from 2011 data show the Conservatives could win the new riding with 2,500 votes,” Bailey said. The other candidates in the riding are Fin Donnelly, the NDP MP who previously represented the riding before the boundary changes happened as well as Jessie Adcock for the Liberals and the Green Party’s Marcus Madsen.
warnings and advisories were handed out. Recently, the city hired two water ambassadors to deliver flyers about the water crackdown and to speak with the public. And in Port Moody, officers have ticketed 49 times — at $200 a pop — since Stage 3 started. The Stage 3 limits were imposed after Metro Vancouver reservoirs dropped to 69%. It bans all home and commercial lawn sprinkling as well as all refilling of hot tubs, pools and garden ponds — the first time such a measure has had to be imposed in more than a decade. There are no longer exemptions for watering of newly seeded lawns or on ones treated with nematodes to fight chafer beetle infestations. Sports fields and school yards can still be watered at minimal levels to keep them playable.

A canvassing event held in the Port Moody-Coquitlam riding Sunday called Storm the Riding had 50 Leadnow volunteers asking voters to sign a pledge to vote strategically. Bailey confirmed that Leadnow has paid staff to campaign in 12 ridings across the country — the other Metro Vancouver seat it is targeting is Vancouver-Granville — and he said there is increasing interest even among cardcarrying party members to
consider strategic voting. In Port Moody-Coquitlam, the group has already obtained the necessary 600 pledges it needs to start a crowd-funding campaign on its website (leadnow.ca) to raise money for polling to determine the opponent with
the best chance to beat the Conservatives. Closer to the election, Leadnow will develop a report card on candidate issues and, if enough pledges are received, it will ask supporters if they want to recommend a single candidate from among the Liberals, the NDP and Green Party. “One of things we know is that the Conservatives have the advantage when the vote splits between the NDP, Liberals and the Green Party. We want people to unite behind the best candidate” but Bailey said Leadnow will only back candidates the local Leadnow pledgers recommend. Leadnow has been around since 2011 and is considered a third party under federal election rules with a limit of $8,000 per riding to spend on advertising. Polling is not considered advertising. Funding for the organization comes mostly from members. @dstrandbergTC
Inclusive Hiring Makes Good Business Sense The members of the Employment Roundtable of the Tri-Cities are here to help inclusive employers. We begin by finding the right candidate by a process that considers the person’s abilities, strengths and passions, which meets the employer’s needs. Once the right match has been found, a job coach helps the employees learn their job until they are ready to complete the job tasks independently. Once the employee is ready, the job coach begins to step back and Vancity an inclusive employer, hired Aaron. continues to support the employer for as long as required. Using this approach, employment specialists are successful in finding people with disabilities employment. Join us in creating an environment that helps people contribute to our economic community, as a worker, consumer, taxpayer and citizen. Be an inclusive employer, we are here to help!

OUR OPINION
Navigating Compass cards a successful roll out of the Compass card will go a long way toward building back confidence in TransLink. The transportation authority has been under heavy fire over the past year with the recent referendum highlighting the public’s disdain over everything from executive pay to SkyTrain shutdowns. The delay over Compass card implementation appeared to be just another sign of incompetence at the top. apparently, though, it was the complicated zone system and issues with tapping out on buses that was posing the greatest challenge and now with a decision to go with a single zone fare for buses, that hurdle appears to have been cleared. Now the commuting public is eagerly awaiting the roll out of the system that will put the transit system squarely into the modern era and make taking transit more con-
venient. Single-use Compass tickets will be sold by vending machines later this month, but by october and November, Compass cards will be available in machines, retail outlets, walk-in centres and by mail for those ordering online or by phone. No longer will passen-

gers have to find correct change for a cash fare, or spend time buying prepaid tickets or passes ahead of time at stores, according to TransLink. Instead, they’ll log in to the compasscard.ca website or insert the card at kiosks and load money on their account, which will be automatically drawn down as they use

it. for regular monthly pass users, the auto-load option can be set to automatically buy the next month’s pass. users can check their balances online, through a mobile website or through an automated phone system and families will be able to have multiple cards registered to one payment account. These conveniences will make transit more accessible and eliminate problems such as getting a tub full of quarters in change when using a $20 bill to buy an adult three zone fare ticket on SkyTrain. Many people are also waiting for the SkyTrain fare gates to close to eliminate fare cheats and make SkyTrain safer — that’s not expected to happen for several months. In the meantime TransLink will need to work double time to explain the new system and make it easy for people to use.

The Editor, I have the pleasure of being a member of Coquitlam’s Community in Bloom focus group. Recently, we toured our beautiful city with the judges who will determine Coquitlam’s status as a Community in Bloom. As a proud and longtime resident of Coquitlam, I was prepared to showcase our city at its best but even I was in awe of what our city has to offer. We started the tour visiting some of my favourite areas, including the Centennial Rose Garden at Dogwood Pavilion, Mackin House, Place Des Arts and the beautiful new gardens in Mackin Park. The tour continued in parts of Coquitlam I have wanted to explore more fully but never managed to find the time to, until now. These included the magnificent Riverview arboretum, the new Burke Mountain neighbourhoods, Hockaday Park (which backs onto the Coquitlam River) and the in-

TRI-CITY LITERACY
Books with gumption & grit A GOOD READ KATIE MYERS
A
re life’s challenges starting to grind you down? Need something to get you through those days where everything’s going against you? Quick! Run for safety! Dive under the covers of a book and find inspiration from tough, never-say-die characters. The following titles all feature folks who have gumption and grit, and won’t take trouble in any form. The historical novel Against a Darkening Sky by Lauren B. Davis finds Wilona, a seventh century pagan healer and seeress in Britain, confronted with forceful and violent changes as the new Christian religion encroaches her village. Her fate is intertwined with that of Egan, a self-effacing, devoted monk sent as part of the Christian mission. Both battle for their survival and dignity against all odds during these tumultuous times, when the old ways clash with the new. Water Music by T.C. Boyle is an adventurous, bawdy, comic fiction that radically embellishes the life of Britain’s national hero, Mungo Park,
the Scottish explorer who lived from 1771 to 1806. Follow him as he conquers his adversary the Dark Continent Africa: rife with rot, plague, parasites and murderous tribesmen. Meanwhile, the life of the charming scoundrel Ned Rise runs roughly parallel to Mungo’s with his outlandish trials and tribulations. Both men’s lives intertwine on a path that is both funny and outrageous as they prevail against all who rally against them. Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney presents a mystery encapsulated in historical fiction with the gutsy stalwart character Mrs. Ross, a mother who faces the harshest of elements to find and protect her missing son, who has been accused of a violent murder. The thrilling story is set in deep winter of a Northern Territory
settlement in 1867 and is rich with detail about the struggles of early Canada. Her love and conviction push her through the darkest moments of fear in an unforgiving landscape as she holds tight to the bonds of motherly love. In the contemporary fiction novel, He’s Gone by Deb Calletti, Dani Keller, a happy and content wife of a loving man, wakes up slightly hung over on a Sunday morning to find that her husband has mysteriously vanished. As the days pass, she delves deeper into the depths of her darkest self and innermost memories to expose the truth of what may have happened, and what her part in his disappearance may have been. Follow her as she prevails over her deep internal struggle to learn the answer. In his sci-fi novel Tuf Voyaging, George R.R. Martin
launches us to a future time and space where the galactic struggle for control dictates the fate of entire planets. Beneath a slow, languorous, slug-like manner, the hero, Haviland Tuf, is actually a brilliant mastermind who uses humility and impeccable etiquette to conquer the foes of all who threaten the safety of the universe. If you’re in the mood for gritty, gun-slingin’, wild west, rootin’ tootin’ characters who spit through the gap of their front teeth, you’ll find them in Jon Abercrombie’s book Red Country. This novel reads like a western and challenges its fantasy classification with characters that have pronounceable names — but don’t worry, there’s still a dragon in there. Follow Shy South and her father Lamb as they fight for survival and revenge in a lawless country filled with gold fever, feuds and duels. So take a break from your trials and tribulations, and come on into the library for one of these great books and more. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Katie Myers works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.
DOUGLAS COLLEGE
Garden workshop Douglas College is hosting a series of interactive workshops in Coquitlam to help the community learn about the beneficial critters that lurk in urban gardens. The workshops, taking place this month and next, will explore a variety of topics, including the types of creatures found in gardens, the important role of pollinators such as bees and butterflies and how to create better water habitat in gardens for wildlife. The workshops are free and open to the public. However, children must be accompanied by an adult. The workshops will be held on the front lawn of the Douglas College (1250 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). On Thursday, Sept. 10, between 6 and 7:30 p.m., the Pollinator Survey will be held. On Saturday, Sept.
26, between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. the Water and Wildlife in your Garden event will be held. A third workshop on planning and planting a mixed-use garden will be announced soon. Workshop participants will also learn about the Institute of Urban Ecology’s new Sustainability and Outreach (Sol) Garden, a project intended to support ecological research and community learning. The workshops will be held at the future site of the garden. Garden construction is expected to start in fall. For more information about the workshops and to email iue@douglascollege.ca. Please indicate which workshops you would like to attend. Each workshop will be around 90 minutes long.

The BC Strong-Man competition will also be back again this year, where you can see guys flipping tires, lifting, and competing to go to the provincial championships.
This year Saturdays cruise will have over a hundred classic and collector vehicles driving through the streets of Port Coquitlam, from the Rec center on Wilson, up Coast Meridian, David Ave, Shaughnessy St, Pitt River Rd and all meeting back in the downtown core along Donald Ave. After this exciting parade of some amazing cars there will be a BBQ in Leigh Sq. and Live music where you can get up and dance along with some of your favorite hits

This stellar family event could not be done without the generous support of all of our sponsors as well as the merchants here in Downtown Port Coquitlam who not only donate the needed funds, but whose time and efforts make this show run. It is their help and financial support that allows us to bring you this show every year. That being said don’t forget to stop by and say Hi to the different sponsors who are onsite like the Metro Ford team, whose display is set up right on Shaughnessy. Their continued generous support of the Magnuson Family from Metro Ford, Layne Sr. and Kent, provides the Downtown PoCo Car Show with both financial and in-kind support that has helped make this show what it has become today. We also have many other fantastic sponsors that deserve our recognition like the Tri-City News who continually support and promote our show, The trophy Center for donating the dash plaques for all of our
participants, Pennington Holdings and Dominion lending Centers for providing breakfast for the 500 plus participants. For all of the businesses who give us your time and support to make this show happen we give you a big Thank you.

It will be a hands on activity and the kids are sure to have a blast.

This exciting new event adds yet another great element to the show and allows for the children to get involved in an early love of cars as well as learn a new skill while they are at it. It is through the kind sponsorship of Fraser Valley Paint and Body and the support of our local Downtown businesses that the PoCo Car Show is able to provide the children with this fun filled activity.
European Wieners
The model building workshop will be taking place in the Outlet building by City hall. Parent participation for this activity is a must so this is a great opportunity to work together with your child on a project that you will complete together. The ratio is 1 adult for every 2 children. Registration is free but space is limited to 50 kids so book early.

PORT COQUITLAM CAR SHOW J
Children’s Area revamped for 11th annual Car Show
ust because your kids can’t drive yet doesn’t mean that they can’t come down and enjoy the show. The downtown PoCo Car Show is bringing back their popular children’s area again this year. Filled with interactive displays, booths and activities that are all free of charge the Kids zone is always a huge hit with little ones and parents alike. A new feature for the Kids area this year is the Giant Hamster Balls for the kids to run in down a small track. The Hamster Balls are being provided by Games 2 U along with their popular Laser Tag that mixes hide and seek, tag, and a little bit of Star wars feel for that extra added fun. On the laser tag field the players will compete with one another hiding behind obstacles and prepare to ambush their opponents to try and lead their team to victory. Also back by popular demand is the Vancouver tumble Bus, a nationally recognised children’s fitness program focusing on fun. Their programs are geared for Children from the toddler stage to 10yrs. The original Tumble bus was started in the 1980’s in Southern Indiana and was designed to provide fun tumbling and gymnastic instruction to children and encourage physical fitness by way of a mobile gym. The Vancouver Tumble Bus brings a fun filled mixture of equipment from a zip-line, monkey bars, and a rock wall among many more. They are putting the fun back in fitness for the kids with a winning idea. Also featuring in the Children’s area this year will be a 9 hole miniature golf course for the kids to play on. Mini golf is always a fun family activity that provides a challenge to both parents and children alike. As well as the BC strong Man Championships who will be joining us for their 3rd year. This gives people a chance to see up close and personal as the participants compete in activities ranging from the giant tire flip, the yoke walk, to the truck pull. This year’s completion gets underway at 11:00 and will conclude with their awards presentation. The fun will be running in the Kids zone from 11am – 5pm on Sunday august 16th, so come on down and try out the fun filled activities, interactive displays and booths that this area has to offer. The Kids zone will be located on the corner of Wilson and Shaughnessy St. in the large parking lot behind the A&W we hope to see you there.

PORT COQUITLAM CAR SHOW Wall of Recognition: Don Watts
E
ach year the Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show honours individuals that make significant contributions to the automotive and motorsports industries. Past recipients include motorsports hall of famer Buck Kinney, downtown car show co-founder Pat Dales, motorcycle racer Steve Crevier, long-time car show volunteer, Ken Parker, Poco custom car builder Rick Leginus and show sponsor Layne Sr. and Kent Magnuson of Metro Ford. For many people their vehicles go far beyond simple transportation or something that just gets them from point A to point B. To others, they serve as a hobby, a passion and a way of life. That is certainly the case for long-time Port Coquitlam resident, owner of Thermo King of BC and the 2015 Wall of Recognition honouree, Don Watts. Don’s has had a love of vehicles, especially convertibles, since he was a young man growing up in Enderby, B.C. He has always enjoyed old cars immensely as he owned many classics such as a 1951 Meteor convertible, 1950 Austin, a 1965 Mustang and two Model A Fords in his younger years. When he settled down to raise his family cars took a back seat until Don began to amass his collection three decades ago. As you stroll through his collection the love for the convertibles becomes quite evident. The collection is made up of cars and trucks from the 50’s and 60’s, the era when he grew up. It is a combination of fully restored vehicles and ones Don has mostly himself restored in one of his two person garages he has in the city. A few samples of this 25-vehicle collection include three Thunderbird convertibles, an early sixties Galaxie, several retractable hardtop models, a 54 Ford convertible (one of his favourites) and his favourite, a 1951 Meteor convertible. The same model car he had purchased when he was just 16 and then sold three years later and then did not get back into his collection until 15 years or so ago. Don has been a dedicated supporter with both monetary and in-kind donations since the early days of the Downtown Poco Car Show and has done so with the same enthusiasm each year. He is a true collector and hobbyist who has given back at every opportunity and very much a deserving recipient of this year’s Wall of Recognition Award.

The Dowco Triumph street Pipe Band, a Grade 1 outfit based in Port Coquitlam, will compete in the 2015 World Pipe Band Championships in scotland this weekend.
WORLD PIPING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Grade 1 pipers, drummers ready for the worlds on Glasgow Green Janis Warren
TRI-CITy REPs
The Tri-CiTy News
The biggest championship in the world for pipers and drummers is this weekend in Scotland. And 20 Tri-City residents — from two different Grade 1 bands — will be there to play their medleys and March, Strathspey and Reels in the hopes of winning the coveted title. The Port Coquitlam-based Dowco Triumph Street Pipe Band, led by pipe major and PoCo resident David Hilder, will be up against 21 other Grade 1 ensembles, including six-time champions the SFU Pipe Band, which is managed by Coquitlam’s Rob MacNeil. Each band has 10 representatives from the Tri-Cities although MacNeil won’t be performing. Last year, both teams fared well at the worlds: SFU clinched seventh place overall while Dowco took 10th spot overall out of 22 groups hailing from Canada, the U.S., Scotland, Northern Ireland, Eire and New Zealand (the Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band from Northern Ireland defended its title). The Tri-City News was unable to reach Hilder before the Dowco contingent flew out last week; however, MacNeil said he’s confident about SFU’s chances on the Glasgow Green.
SFU: Alastair Lee (piper), Terry Lee (piper), Reid Maxwell (lead drummer), MacKenzie Webster (drummer), Rob MacNeil (band manager), Andrew Lee (piper), Dani Miller (piper), Kim Mercado (drummer), Kyle Wallis (drummer) and Gavin MacRae (drummer).

They were pictured during a rehearsal last week at the sFu Burnaby campus. The Grade 1 band left last Friday for scotland. Tonight (Wednesday), the 52-member band — led by pipe major Alan Bevan — will play a sold-out show at the at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. The concert is titled Nous Somme Prêts (French for We Are Ready). MacNeil said only Grade 1 bands who can fill the 2,000seat auditorium in downtown Glasgow are invited to perform to help kick off the international piping contest. The invite comes as SFU marks its 50th anniversary. And MacNeil said tickets for this year’s event ran out two weeks ago. “Definitely, people
are looking forward to seeing the pipe band and are looking forward to a great show,” he said, adding, “This gives us a chance to spread our message of the university engaging the world.” It is the third time SFU has been asked to play the prestigious hall. In 2002 — a year after it won the worlds — the team it played the Glasgow venue as well as a big hall in Belfast. Both sold out, MacNeil said. “People just know SFU is a draw no matter where we go in the world.” Already, the SFU band has had a banner year leading up
to the 2015 worlds, he said. It secured the overall position at all the competitions it attended and travelled the province to work on its competition and concert material. Last month, it hosted a preview worlds show in Vernon, which sold out. Also in July, the SFU band swept all Grade 1 events at Enumclaw in Washington State with Coquitlam piper Alastair Lee and snare drummer Grant Maxwell each taking professional solo prizes. In an SFU news release, Bevan said the band has spent the past two years preparing
DOWCO: David Hilder (pipe major), Shaunna Hilder (pipe sergeant), Liam Hilder (piper), Gordon McRae (piper), Fraser Yorston (piper), Cameron Reid (side), Jessica Lahti (bass), Scott Wood (piper), Tyler Wood (side) and Jocelyn Bellamy-Marsh (midsection). for this summer’s schedule and has paced itself accordingly. Added MacNeil: “When we’re doing this breadth of activities… it has this effect of the band raising its game. We just think that, like the title of the Glasgow show, Nous Somme Prêts, that we are ready for the worlds.” • To live stream the competition on Aug. 14 and 15, go online to the worlds.co.uk. jwarren@tricitynews.com
Tri-City adults wanting to upgrade their reading skills or brush up on their English can be part of a literacy group that next meets in Port Coquitlam on Friday. The meeting takes place at 2:30 p.m. at the Terry Fox Library (2470 Mary Hill Rd.) and the books discussed will vary according to the reading levels and interests of the group. Call 604-927-7999.

It’s more than half way through the summer and what better way to relax and unwind under the sun than to listen to live music? On Saturday, the city of Port Coquitlam will host the art-rock group Mistral Storm and multi-genre artist Gina Williams at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall).

Four young singers hoping to make it big on the international opera scene will deliver their first professional show under the Vancouver Opera banner. And the quartet will stage their debut this month in a lush, fairytale concert that was tailor-made for Tri-City audiences. Soprano Eden Tremayne and Francesca Corrado, a mezzo-soprano — both graduates of the UBC opera program — along with tenor Rocco Rupolo and baritone Zachary Read perform in Opera Tales at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre from Aug. 28 to 30. They will be accompanied by pianist Kimberley-Ann Bartczak. The five members part of the Yulanda M. Faris Young Artists Program, an initiative started four years ago by arts philanthropists Moh and Yulanda Faris (she was on the Vancouver Opera board of directors before she passed away this spring). Adrianne Wurz, Vancouver Opera’s associate director of artistic planning who manages the Young Artists Program, told The Tri-City News her organization got a call last year from David Mann of the Evergreen Cultural Centre to fill in the August slot previously held by DragonDiva Operatic Theatre, which has since folded. Stage director Brenna Corner, an Albertan native who is in her second year with the Young Artists Program, came up with the idea to weave together a series of operatic and musical theatre pieces —

the 11th annual Girls night Out — the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Port Moody arts Centre — attracted more than 150 women to the Bollywoodthemed event, held last Friday at Port Moody city hall. the bash, which was sponsored by scotiabank and the tri-City news, saw many participants dressed in colourful saris raise a glass for Making it Work, the latest campaign by PMaC to collect funds for the expanded arts hub on st. Johns street. among those in attendance were (at right, from left to right): Claire lawrence, Valerie simons, tri-City news sales consultant Marianne laRochelle, Port Moody Coun. diana dilworth and Beverly Bakka. (all, except dilworth, are members of the PMaC board of directors). attendees were also treated to sevices and products from local beauty businesses and served up tasty appetizers and desserts from Masala Junction. afterward, the ladies filed into the Inlet theatre to hear funny stories from comedians erica sigurdson, Fatima dhowre, Melanie Rose and Jane stanton; sigurdson has been the emcee of every Girls night Out since the fundraiser started. Meanwhile, PMaC is readying for its next money maker of the year. the R.e.s.P.e.C.t. gala performance is being billed as “an evening of art and soul,” with proceeds also supporting the Making it Work drive. It takes place nov. 12 at Port Moody city hall, with cocktails starting at 6:30 p.m.

It has been a busy month for the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs. The team has swept every club it has faced in the post-season, including the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies (above) and the Delta Islanders (above-right). The club is now waiting to see who they will face in the 2015 Minto Cup championship series, which will begin later this month.
BCJALL VS. RMLL
Six-goal game for A’s Pace against Raiders continued from page 23
Okotoks, a Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League club, struggled throughout the series, but Game 3 was their biggest loss. The Raiders took a 1-0 lead four minutes into the first period when Dean Farrell buried a pass from Brett McIntyre. But the Alberta team would not hang on to the lead for long. A’s shooter Brett Kujala quickly tied things up six minutes later, before Tyler Pace made it 2-1 for Coqutilam before the first intermission. The Adanacs kept up the scoring in the second. Chris Cloutier added an insurance marker, before Andy Campbell potted one and Kujala got his second of the night. Farrell managed to score Okotoks second goal, but by then the game was 5-2 and the Raiders were quickly losing control on the floor. Back-to-back markers from Coquitlam’s Tyler Pace helped the A’s take a 7-2 lead into the final frame. More goals in the third from Campbell, Pace, Cole Shafer and Michael Messenger helped keep the game out of reach for the Alberta team. When the final buzzer sounded both Campbell (three

goals and three assists) and Pace (four goals and two assists) each had six-point nights. Game 2 on Friday was similar for the A’s, albeit closer for the Raiders. While Okotoks never managed to grab the lead, the team kept things close to the end in the 9-7 match, including a three-goal run in the second period. But they were still not able to defend against the Adanacs’ shooters. Pace had another phenomenal game, racking up one goal and six assists, while Cloutier finished up with a hat trick and three helpers. The Raiders strongest game of the series was the opener on Thursday. The club jumped out to a 2-0 lead with goals from Leighton Gibson and Dylan Kinnear and
set the tone for the first 15 minutes of the game. But a marker from Pace cut the Raiders’ lead in half, and Cloutier followed up with two goals in a row. Cloutier would score the bulk of the Adanacs goals in Game 1, finishing up with six markers in the 7-6 win. Cole Shafer and Mike Rybka also had strong games, registering two assists each, while Kujala and Chase McIntyre each had one assist. With the Western Canadian Finals behind them, the Adanacs have now won 29 of their last 30 games, posting their only loss of the season against the Victoria Shamrocks in early May.
