Summer too slow at food bank DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Raising a daughter with special needs on a disability pension wasn’t always easy. But Valerie says the help she got from the food bank in the form of groceries every two weeks helped get her through the months and years, and now the Tri-City senior is asking the community to give once again.

Roxann MacDonald, director of fund development with Share Family and Community Services, takes a look at the empty shelves at the Port Moody food bank. A summer food drive is underway, with the goal of getting healthy foods for distribution to about 800 households in the Tri-Cities.

Hoy residents get reprieve to Sept. ’18 Provincial co-op organization gets involved to help Coquitlam tenants
GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
Residents at the Hoy Creek Housing Co-op will continue to receive subsidies until September 2018 after an agreement was struck last
week between the board and the Co-op Housing Federation of BC (CHFBC). The decision bypasses the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), which has been pressuring the board to
relinquish control of the Coquitlam property and grant it full receivership powers over the land. CMHC said it would not extend a subsidized housing agreement, which expires in July, unless the co-op complied with its request.
Instead, the provincial organization said it will make up the difference, allowing more time for all parties to come to a long-term agreement regarding Hoy’s future. see A MANDATE, page 4

BEARS IN THE TRI-CITIES
PoCo woman, neighbours taking steps to deal with hungry bears Locks needed for smaller garbage bins in PoCo DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
When Laura De Groot came face to face with a black bear at her front door, she screamed and ran inside. Then she got busy. The Port Coquitlam nail technician has taken matters into her own hands since bears started hanging around the Twin Cedars townhome complex where she lives. She got the city to upgrade her waste cart to the 240-litre size that comes with a bear-resistant lock and she’s looking at installing a lockable enclosure for the carts and chaining up her outdoor freezer. “They’ve been spotted out here constantly,” said De Groot of the bears showing up in her northside PoCo neighbourhood. The concerns come as PoCo has handed out nine tickets to residents who have put out their garbage too early and for unsecured wildlife attractants, and conservation officers have killed one bruin in the city for getting into garbage. According to De Groot, bears have only recently started coming around, a situation she blames on increased development up Coast Meridian Road. To be safe, De Groot and some of her neighbours have switched to the larger waste bins with the bear-resistant locks even though they cost more and they have to pay a $110 admin fee. They’re also blowing air horns to scare bears and warn neighbours when the creatures
are in their complex. “Everybody’s got them here,” she said. “As soon as we hear them, we know to go in.” City spokesman Tom Madigan said people can switch their 120 l bins for the larger carts with bear locks but the carts do cost more. A lock hasn’t yet been found for the smaller 120 l bins but the city is looking for a solution and is hiring an ambassador in the next couple of weeks to assist people in dealing with garbage and water issues, said Madigan, who is the section manager for fleet and solid waste. The question now is why people are getting carts that don’t have locks and why the ambassador is starting so late in the season. Madigan said the ambassador will start earlier next year because the position has been funded for two years instead of just one, and of the 39,000 carts in PoCo, only 1,800 are the 120 l size that don’t have locks. Madigan hopes to have a solution soon. “We assess certain challenges and we make operation strategies based on information where we get them,” he said. But even a locked bin is not enough to keep out a bruin. De Groot said a bag of vegetable waste was in a bin for just two hours when a bear pulled the bin apart to get at it. “I was in the back watering and the bin was knocked over, he got all the food out.” De Groot is at her wits’ end and she’s worried that some of her neighbours haven’t yet switched to the more expensive, lockable bins while homes elsewhere in the city with the larger carts got the locks for free. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
siGN UP FOR BEAR CLAss ON JULy 12 iN COQ. The city of Coquitlam will hold a Bear Smart 101 education session for residents interested in learning more about reducing conflicts with bears and wildlife. The free event will be held on Wednesday, July 12 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way) — a change from the original venue, council chambers, because of demand — and will cover a range of topics, from dealing with animal attractants to valuable safety tips. Wildlife expert Tom Saare will lead the class and talk to residents about what to do should they come face to face with a bear on a trail or in their backyard. According to city staff, 2016 was a record year for bear activity in Coquitlam, with more than 270 calls related to bruins and 492 calls related to unsecured garbage, which is the most common bear attractant. Registration for Bear Smart 101 has begun and can be completed online at coquitlam.ca/ bearsmart101. For more information, call 604927-3500, email urbanwildlife@coquitlam.ca or go to www.coquitlam. ca/bearsmart.

‘They’re really hungry & they’re not moving off’ Tri-Cities continue to be a hotspot for spotting bears DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
The latest wildsafebc.com wildlife map shows Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam are a hotbed for bear sightings, with dozens of reports of bruins in neighbourhoods stretching
from Como Lake to Dominion Avenue. And easy access to garbage is the reason why. “The most dangerous time is right now and people need to make their community safer,” said Sgt. Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Service, adding that four traps are currently in circulation in the Tri-Cities. Some of the bruins being sighted are injured, making them unpredictable.
“We discovered a number of bears having wounds that are consistent with a crossbow and or being shot,” Todd said, urging residents to stay away from bears and to lock up their attractants in sheds or garages. Simply locking up the carts and leaving them outside is not enough to deter bears, Hunter said, noting people should rinse their carts to keep the smells down. Bears have been coming down the mountains looking

for food but there isn’t much besides grass for them to eat this time of year. That’s why they turn to high-calorie garbage. “They’re really hungry and they’re not moving off readily when people try to scare them away, they’re defending their food source,” he said. For that reason, Todd is urging residents to do a better job of managing bear attractants. Coquitlam is cracking down, too, and has handed out 93
tickets for $500 fines for early set-out of garbage (prior to 5:30 a.m.). A compliance evaluation is also being conducted to see how many people aren’t following city bylaws. “This information will be used to further inform our outreach and enforcement strategy,” said Stefanie Warriner, Coquitlam’s environmental services manager, in an email. “In the meantime, residents who place their carts at the
curb prior to 5:30 a.m. on the day of collection, or who otherwise do not secure garbage and other food attractants on their property, should expect to receive a ticket from the city for violating the city’s bylaws.”

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
‘A mandate to stick up for members’ continued from front page
“We don’t presume to speak for the co-op in this matter but Hoy Creek is a member of our federation and we have a mandate to stick up for our members when they find themselves in a tough spot,” Thom Armstrong, the executive director of CHFBC, told The Tri-City News. “Whatever the merits of CMHC’s position — and that is far from clear — it just seems wrong to us that the most vulnerable members of a community should fear for their security of tenure while the conversation unfolds.” CMHC has been seeking full receivership over the land from the board since last summer, after the co-op fell behind on its mortgage payments to the federal Crown corporation. Hoy was unable to pay its bills after it stopped receiving rents from 60 townhouse units on the site that were deemed uninhabitable due to mould, rot and bad plumbing. The housing corporation said it needs control of the property to redevelop the land and get the housing complex back on firm financial footing, and even Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon weighed in, asking tenants to “put pressure on their board to co-operate with CMHC.” But the board said last week

After these townhouses were torn down at Coquitlam’s Hoy Creek Housing Co-op, the reduction in rent received hurt the co-op board’s finances with CMHC. that it fears relinquishing control would go against its goals of avoiding displacement for its subsidized members and stabilizing housing charges at the complex. The Hoy directors also worry they will lose their status as a co-operative entity after redevelopment of the land occurs. “We ourselves were not comfortable with acquiescing to CMHC’s demand for full receivership at this time,” the board said in a statement. “We were not persuaded that doing so would ensure that we meet our primary objectives.” CMHC already has limited receivership over a portion of the site, which was granted following a court
SETTING IT STRAIGHT
Re. “PoCo ponders regs to boost tree supply” (The Tri-City News, June 23). In the referenced article, it was incorrectly reported that the city of Port Coquitlam is considering adding 13,000 small trees a year to increase the tree canopy cover. In fact, the proposal is for 25 years.
process last summer. Those powers allow the housing
corporation, through receiver PriceWaterhouseCoopers, to demolish the townhouses between the Creekview building on Johnson Street and the Maple Creek building on Glen Drive. According to the board, the work was only supposed to cost $1.2 million but the budget ballooned to $2.3 million and work is three months past schedule. “It was the cumulation of these and other experiences with CMHC that convinced the board that CMHC may not, in fact, have Hoy Creek and its members’ best interests at heart,” the board said. On June 7, the 35 subsidized renters in the 97-unit complex received letters from Terra Property Management inform-
ing them that the housing agreement and their subsidies would be ending July 1. Several residents, including Bobbi Style, a 12-year tenant with cerebral palsy who uses a wheelchair, said that without the agreement, their housing charge would rise from $350 per month to as high as $1,100 per month. He added that the short notice made it difficult for residents to find other subsidies or make alternate housing arrangements. Susan Harris, another subsidized tenant who has lived at the housing complex for 17 years, said communication between residents and the board has improved in the last few weeks. She added that a recent meeting helped alleviate some of the concerns residents had

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
40 to 50 homes to be built for low-income earners in Coquitlam ‘Force savings’ are part of Habitat for Humanity project GARY MCKENNA
The Tri-CiTy News
Affordable home ownership may seem like an oxymoron in Metro Vancouver but Habitat for Humanity is working with the city of Coquitlam on a project that will enable low to moderate income earners to enter the housing market. Habitat was selected among 13 proposals from eight proponents to build 40 to 50 units of affordable housing on city land at 1358 Coast Meridian Rd. The project is part of Coquitlam’s affordable housing strategy, which was adopted in 2015. But instead of building subsidized rental units, Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver CEO Dennis Coutts said his organization would be constructing affordable homes for modest-income families. “This is a made-in-Vancouver solution,” he told The TriCity News. The model being used in
Coquitlam would see residents take an ownership stake in the property, allowing them to build up equity, Coutts said. For example, if a family pays $1,000 a month for 10 years, they would receive $120,000 minus a fee and the cost of repairing any significant damage when they move out of the home, as part of a buyback agreement with Habitat for Humanity. The returned money would allow the family to enter the traditional housing market, he said. “It is forced savings,” Coutts said. “We return their equity at some particularl point. Now they have some cash. “The number one reason why Canadians don’t own their home is that they don’t have a downpayment.” To be eligible, participants must be employed, with an income cap of $68,000 a year; they must demonstrate a housing need; and submit to a vigorous criminal record and background check. They are also required to do 500 hours of volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity, Coutts said, which could include anything from helping with
the construction of the Coast Meridian Road development to working at one of the five Habitat for Humanity ReStore’s in the Lower Mainland. “[Volunteering] is intended to create a pride of ownership,” he said. “If they fail to do the 500 hours, they don’t get the house.” A similar affordable homeownership project has been built in Burnaby and there are other examples in Toronto and Edmonton that Coutts said have been successful. Over the lifespan of a development, he added, hundreds of families can benefit, which helps break the cycle of poverty. “This isn’t a quick fix,” he said. “It is generational.” The next step in the process is for Habitat for Humanity to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the city, which will outline the property transfer, target population, and a potential contribution to the city’s Affordable Housing Reserve Fund. Coutts said Habitat is planning to have the site developed by 2020.

SHARE FOOD BANK
Without more food, Share will cut number of items in hampers continued from front page
“Please help, the people on low income really need the help,” said Valerie, who asked that her full name not be used. As the summer heats up, the food bank run by Share Family and Community Services is running low and a campaign is being launched so folks like Valerie and her now-grown daughter can stretch their fixed income a few extra days. Roxann MacDonald, Share’s director of fund development, said supplies from the winter months are now so depleted that the number of grocery items in small, medium and large hampers may have to be reduced. “It gets limited,” MacDonald said. “We have lots and lots of soup but we’re out of rice.” Giving to the food bank is a tradition during the Christmas season but drops off when summer approaches. Share hopes with its summer food campaign — which begins Friday — people will remember to drop off an extra item at the grocery store or collect a box of food at their office, club or other location, then bring it to the PoMo warehouse. “We particularly appreciate it this time of year,” MacDonald said. For Valerie, whose household is one of more than 800 in the Tri-Cities that benefit from the food bank, the cans, boxes and bottles of food are a godsend. Sometimes, a litre of milk left over from the Tiny Bundles program for moms and babies

A package of wieners is another occasional treat. “Please put the word out there: We appreciate it but Share could use more,” she said. One of the goals of this summer campaign is to encourage people to choose healthier options to give to the food bank. Donors should also note that food cannot be accepted on Wednesdays, and fresh produce, if available, should be dropped off on Tuesdays so it can be handed out when it is still fresh. The food is stored at the Port Moody warehouse and food bank at 2615 Clarke St. and is also distributed to the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam food banks. While the number of food bank users is holding steady, the cost of food and housing

IIO says man who died on Father’s Day did not take own life Autopsy showed fatal wounds were not self-inflicted DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has confirmed that a man who died in a shooting in Port Coquitlam on Father’s Day did not kill himself. The IIO also revealed a relative of the dead man was also seriously hurt at the same Mary Hill location several hours later. Both incidents involved the Coquitlam RCMP and the IIO is looking into them separately, spokesperson Marten Youssef confirmed. “The focus of the investigation now is the determining whether police action lawful, proportionate or reasonable
or whether any offence may have been committed,” he said. Initial reports made to the IIO by the RCMP suggested the distraught man may have shot himself following an exchange of gunfire with police. But Monday, the IIO confirmed results of an autopsy showed the man’s death was not selfinflicted. Several hours after the first shooting, a second incident occurred involving a male relative of the dead man who suffered serious injuries in an interaction with police. Youssef said the IIO is investigating that incident as well, with file number IIO 2017-066 “The witnesses to both incidents are being asked to call the IIO witness line,” Youssef said. There were no other injuries to police or bystanders during the incident, which took place in the 2100-block of Audrey

SOFI says: 47 PoCo staff made >$100k Top staffer made biggest bucks in 2016 in PoCo JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam last week released its on how much taxpayers spent last year on city staff. The expenses listed in the 2016 Statement of Financial Information (SOFI) shows payments to council and staff as well as to suppliers, including for the $132-million rebuild of the recreation complex. According to the report, Mayor Greg Moore earned a base salary of $92,270, received an additional $14,013 in benefits and other compensation, and expensed $3,602 — for a grand total of $109,884. City councillors each took in $36,105 and claimed $3,646 each in benefits (Coun. Dean Washington’s was $5,752) while their expenses varied from $1,020 (Washington) to $9,141 (Coun. Laura Dupont). By comparison, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart made $132,258 last year while city

SOFI says: 65 PoMo staff made >$100k Retroactive payments hiked 2016 Moody payroll
SPEAK Have an opinion? Comment at The Tri-City News’ Facebook page.
MARIO BARTEL
The Tri-CiTy News
Retroactive payments to Port Moody firefighters in the wake of their new collective agreement with the city helped swell the ranks of civic employees who earned more than $100,000 to 65 last year. That’s more than double the previous year, when 32 city employees earned six figures, according to PoMo’s 2016 statement of financial information (SOFI). Paul Rockwood, general manager of PoMo’s finance and technology department, said the new contract with the Port Moody Firefighters Union Local 2399, that was agreed to in May runs from Jan. 1, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2019. That meant considerable retroactive payments to the firefighters going back to the start of the new contract. Rockwood said the salaries of management and exempt staff were also reviewed last year and resulted in some of those that were deemed to be below market rates getting a boost.
POMO MAYOR MIKE CLAY In total, the city spent $21,837,330 on staffing in 2016 plus another $961,751 in taxable benefits, payouts and expenses. That’s just over 10% more than city salaries cost in 2015, when it spent $19,819,507. Port Moody’s highest paid staffer last year was fire department Deputy Chief Gord Parker, who earned $185,908 in salary, payouts and expenses. Rockwood said Parker’s base salary of $129,402 was boosted by the payout of an accumulated gratuity benefit for his long service that amounted to $53,798. “The gratuity benefit is a cost savings incentive to minimize the use of sick time,” said Rockwood, adding it has been phased out for most city em-
ployees except those in the firefighters’ union and members of police services. Mayor Mike Clay earned a base salary last year of $57,752, plus a tax-free allowance of $28,876 and taxable benefits of $1,536. He claimed $7,192 for expenses. Councillors each received a base salary of 22,971 in addition to a tax-free allowance of $11,211. Coun. Zoe Royer claimed the most expenses, $8,021, while Coun. Barbara Junker was the most spendthrift; her expenses totalled $3,123. The SOFI report was to be presented to Port Moody at Tuesday’s meeting. The provincial Financial Information Act requires local governments to release their spending reports by June 30 of each year. The reports include audits, debt schedules, compensation for employees and council, as well as payments for goods and services more than $25,000.

PoCo woman given an international honour for helping refugees DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
A Port Coquitlam woman was honoured last week in the U.S. capital with an international award for her work with Tri-City refugees and other causes. Nancy McCurrach, who works for Telus as a customer service representative, was honoured at a gala June 22 in Washington, D.C. as the United Steelworkers’ Jefferson Awards Foundation champion volunteer for 2017. The award recognizes community service work by members of the United Steelworkers union. McCurrach, a member of the Telecommunications Workers Union, USW National Local 1944, was chosen from more than 150 nominees from districts across both the U.S. and Canada. “I was just blown away,” said McCurrach, remembering how her heart was beating when she heard her name called during the gala attended by more than 600 delegates. She said the award should also go to the Tri-Cities

Nancy McCurrach of Port Coquitlam was honoured at a gala in Washington, D.C. on June 22 for her volunteer work, including her efforts with the Tri-Cities Refugees Welcome Wagon group that supports three Syrian refugee families. McCurrach was selected the United Steelworkers’ overall Jefferson Awards Foundation Champion volunteer for 2017. Refugee Welcome Wagon, a group of friends and coworkers who fundraise and provide support to Syrian and Turkish refugees who are mak-
ing homes in the region. The award comes with $1,500 that will help the group provide assistance with transportation, school supplies and other needs. “It will help for sure,” said McCurrach, who said three Syrian widows have recently found affordable housing through BC Housing at complexes in Coquitlam while the Turkish family recently moved to Vancouver. The two local families include nine children, including one who recently lost her eye to cancer and had to have a prosthetic eye made. McCurrach is also a fourtime cornea transplant recipient due to a rare disease called keratoconus and volunteers for the Soroptimists International of the Tri-Cities, which hosts a hot meal program for 60 women and children through a program called Warm Place. The Jefferson Award Foundation financed McCurrach’s trip to Washington, along with that of her husband, Ray. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

“I wonder how things will go next time with the BC Liberals running on an NDP platform... Will they completely alienate their conservative base? Will they gain enough support to have a majority mandate? Interesting times as we all wait on action to occur on hot topics like Site C and Kinder Morgan.” KELLY DUARTE ON THE BC LIBERALS’ THRONE SPEECH
“It’s ridiculous for the city to allow all this development on Burke Mountain and then fail to provide the necessary amenities — like community centres — for all these new residents.” DIXON TAM ON A STORY ABOUT THE TIMELINE FOR BUILDING A REC CENTRE ON BURKE MOUNTAIN
THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
Burke residents are getting used to waiting... and waiting B
urke Mountain families will have to wait a while before getting a new recreation facility, and for some, the news is just the latest blow. First, it seemed to take forever to get a school built in the area; one elementary school is finally on the way and another is being planned. As well, few new parks have opened to serve families in Coquitlam’s newest and fastest-growing area, including one that will soon be built along Collins Road. And now, for young families moving to the area, it will be years before a rec centre is built to serve their needs close to NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n
home. This wouldn’t be such a big deal except we know that ice time is at a premium and swimming pools are always busy. Coquitlam is taking a cautious approach to a new rec centre for its northeast neighbourhoods, preferring to watch and see how Port Coquitlam does with its $132-million project before committing. But the truth is, no matter how much we want a recreation centre with a pool and an ice rink, the cost can be almost prohibitive. In PoCo, where facilities were long stretched and outdated, residents were willing to buck

up to see a new rec centre built, paying for it with a $25 parcel tax for the next four years, plus 2.5% tacked on to their property tax bill for three years, then a further $85 a year to pay off the 30-year, $52-million debt. The city also had to dip into
its internal reserves for $41.2 million and sell a four-acre piece of property for $17 million — and get the feds to kick in $12.5 million just before the last federal election. With those kind of numbers (although a smaller facility for Burke probably wouldn’t cost that much), it’s understandable that Coquitlam council would want to wait and see. Council members might also want to take a page from PoCo’s book and consult heavily, and if they find people have an appetite for more facilities despite the cost, could fast-track planning for a rec centre on Burke.

One of the firearms advertised on the back page of the Cabela’s Canada Day flyer that was delivered in approximately a third of the copies of the June 21 edition of The Tri-City News.
GUNS
Shocked, horrified at ad flyer for guns The Editor, Re. Cabela’s flyer (delivered with some June 21 copies of The Tri-City News). The good old cliché “shocked and appalled” comes to mind but doesn’t do justice to what I feel about this flyer. Perhaps “angry and horrified” comes closer. No, still not strong enough. The subject of my ire? Virtually the whole back page of the flyer was devoted to guns. Not just any old guns, not only your classic shotguns and hunting rifles, which
were there. But so, also, were a wide range of semi-automatic rifles, including one that looked too much like an assault rifle for comfort, and also two very lethal looking handguns. Not your actual hunting weapons. I’m disgusted that The TriCity News would deliver this flyer. Is revenue so tight that we now have to be faced with a “Canada Day Sale” of potential murder weapons? This is Canada, not some back-country pocket of ignorance south of the border. In
case you haven’t noticed, we do not have the right to bear arms in Canada and, more to the point, most of us absolutely reject the lethal gun culture that has resulted from that absurd premise. Canadian hunters and target shooters already know where to get their licences and their guns. The rest of us do not need to see this. Please, find another source of revenue. Please do not accept ads from that company again. Patricia Dewhirst, Coquitlam
Use bridges, freeway? You should be paying The Editor, Re. “Insurance charge not answer” (Letters, The Tri-City News, June 23). I agree with a user toll on bridges. I purchased my home as it was a 10-minute drive to work with no bridges. Why should I pay for others who decide to travel further and over bridges? It’s not that I am heartless but i don’t want to pay for someone else’s daycare, either. When pushed out into the

valley due to housing prices, it makes more sense to take a
lower paying job close to home than pay tolls and vehicle maintenance for tires, fuel, brakes and general wear and tear — and never mind driving time. It’s common sense, really, and that’s partly why I think user tolls are needed to get people to make choices. There is also highway maintenance; I use the highway little in the Lower Mainland but lots use daily many times. They should pay for usage. Dave Boisvert, Port Coquitlam
PORT MOODY DEVELOPMENT
HOMES FOR WORKING CLASS, PLEASE
To Editor, Re. “What’s too tall” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, June 23). Regarding your recent article about development in Port Moody, yes, I’m ready for more people in my city, especially workers in Vancouver who can’t afford to live there.
Port Moody should be celebrating its working class history, the backbone of the country, by holding onto the land it owns and building affordable housing. Cities that will survive into the future are those that will provide affordable, environmentally safe housing for all the workers to
whom we are all so indebted. This is a great opportunity for Port Moody to be a trendsetter. And I’m quite happy to accept a hike in my property taxes to help finance a plan for the city to build affordable housing on land it already owns. I owe it to future generations. J. Fraser, Port Moody

CPBC warning about Tri-City travel agent GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
Consumer Protection BC (CPBC) is warning the public that a Coquitlam travel agent who had her licence cancelled last fall may still be conducting business in the area. According to a press release from CPBC, Golden Travel Ltd.’s licence was cancelled in November when it was determined the High Street business did not have sufficient working capital to continue operating. But on Wednesday, CPBC said it had information that Lily Lau (aka Chuen Kuen Lau), the owner of Golden Travel, was still conducting sales “from an undisclosed location.” “This isn’t allowed,” said Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith, a spokesperson for the provincial travel agency regulator. “We believe any individual or business who buys travel from her is putting themselves at risk.” The press release stated that CPBC has already paid out $12,000 to consumers who did not receive their contracted travel services from Golden Travel through the organization’s Travel Assurance Fund. “We still have a number of outstanding claims for close to $95,000,” she added. “While we have not assessed those claims
yet, some consumers are alleging that Lau charged their credit cards without their permission.” Companies that do business with Lau may also be targeted by CPBC. The agency said that a $2,000 fine has been issued to Catway Travel Ltd. of Richmond after it paid Lau for services even though she is not licensed. “These enforcement actions are a reminder to the industry that they are not allowed to do business with a travel agency or wholesaler that is unlicensed or has a suspended licence,” Chabeaux-Smith added. In November, The Tri-City News reported that Raymond Wang had been struggling to secure a refund from Golden Travel, which he said bilked him out of $30,000. His wife visited the travel agency to get more information about an advertised package deal to Disneyland and a cruise out of Florida. Wang said she gave the agent their credit card and passport information, which was requested to “hold the price” for the vacation. But a few days later, the couple checked their online credit card statement and discovered that they had been billed $30,000. After several calls to the travel agency and several promises that the refund would
be issued within 48 hours, Wang said he visited the office and discovered several others who said they were in the same position. “Some of them had been chasing their money over a couple of years already,” Wang said. When contacted by The TriCity News in November, Lau said she was busy and hung up the phone. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Keep pets cool – and watch out for hot dogs If it has been hot for you over the last week, think of how your pet feels. That’s what the BC SPCA wants you to do — and to leave your pet at home if you can’t keep them cool while you’re out. “We can’t stress enough that it can be fatal to leave your pet in a hot car, even for 10 minutes, but still we receive hundreds of calls about animals in distress, every year,” SPCA’s Lorie Chortyk said in a press release. “Doing so is so dangerous for your pet: The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill a pet.” In just minutes, the temperature in a parked car can climb to well over 38 C. As dogs have
no sweat glands, they can only cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws, she said. Thus, they can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time before suffering brain damage or dying. Some tips from the SPCA on what to do if you see a dog in distress in a parked vehicle: • Note the licence plate and vehicle information, and ask managers of nearby businesses to page the owner to return to their vehicle immediately; • Call to report the hot dog in car situation if no owner is found or when animal is suffering symptoms of heatstroke. From 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, call the BC SPCA animal cruelty hotline at 1-855-622-
ONLINE ALL THE TIME The Tri-City News, 24/7, at: tricitynews.com, on Twitter @TriCityNews and on Facebook
7722 and staff will troubleshoot and help connect you with your local animal control agency or police. In an emergency, call 911. SPCA notes that it is illegal for members of the public to break a window to rescue an overheated animal; only RCMP and special provincial constables of the BC SPCA can lawfully enter a vehicle (SPCA branch staff and volunteers cannot). • Keep emergency supplies — including bottled water, a small bowl, a towel that can be soaked in water — in your car so that you can help hydrate an animal, if a window has been left open, while you wait for emergency response; a battery-powered fan from a dollar store also can be handy to circulate air.

TRI-CITIES EVENTS CONNECT COMMUNITIES Summer has finally arrived in the Tri-Cities and with it brings an abundance of outdoor events for everyone in our community to enjoy. The wealth of events and festivals bring the opportunity for people in our community to connect with each other and the local businesses.
Michael Hind, CEO Tri-Cities Chamber
Earlier this month, I attended the seventh annual Daisy Day festival hosted by the Austin Heights BIA where hundreds of people came out to enjoy the sunshine, activities, and good company. The same day was Shop Local Port Moody’s annual Shop Hop where they encouraged customers to keep money in our local economy by shopping local! The next day was the Teddy Bear Picnic at Coquitlam Town Centre. And that’s just the start of what’s to come in the Tri-Cities this summer.
With Canada Day coming up this weekend, there will be a ton of festivities in each of the three communities celebrating Canada’s 150th! Coquitlam Town Centre Park Fireworks at 10:00
Port Coquitlam Castle Park Fireworks at dusk
Port Moody: Golden Spike Days Rocky Point Park Trooper at 9:00 - Fireworks at 10:30
Still to come this summer are the PoCo Grand Prix, Port Moody RibFest, Kaleidoscope Arts Festival, Brewers Row Night Market, Summer Concerts in Port Moody and Coquitlam, and so much more, all right here in our backyard. What I love about all of these events is the increased support from local businesses. Whether their support is through an investment, in-kind sponsorship, volunteering, or just their presence, there is noticeable growth in how our businesses are giving back to their community. The community highly values companies that participate in giving back to the Tri-Cities and it’s evident that businesses feel the same. I’m proud to live, work, and play in a place where businesses care about the communities they operate in. As long as residents continue to invest dollars in the Tri-Cities, businesses will continue to invest their resources into our community. And that, is what I call a good partnership. So, next time you are going out for a quick shopping run, make sure to spend your dollars in the Tri-Cities so we can make our community prosper together. Enjoy the summer in the Tri-Cities! For a full list of events coming up in the Tri-Cities in the coming months, check out our community events calendar at www.tricitieschamber.com.

Recent SFU graduation ceremonies saw Coquitlam students win top awards. Charlotte Trainor, who is pursuing a math degree, received a 4.3 GPA out of a possible 4.33, earning her a Governor General’s Silver Medal. Raymond Zeng, who graduated from the Beedie School of Business, also won a Governor General’s Silver medal with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.29. Meanwhile, Andy Zeng, a local lifeguard and Red Cross volunteer, won the Gordon Shrum Medal for receiving 31 A-plus marks in his biochemistry studies while also being involved in volunteering. Also receiving recognition this year is Gordon Ho, an engineering student whose VEX Robotics team topped the Western Engineering Competition senior design category in competition with dozens of teams from universities across Canada.

A LITTLE WRITING, A LITTLE READING Coquitlam Public Library (CPL) is holding a Tiny Story Contest through July 14. The story must be 420 characters or fewer — approximately one paragraph —with every letter, space and punctuation mark counted.

The Tiny Story Contest is free to enter and there are prizes to be won. For story samples and full contest rules, go to www.coqlibrary.ca/home/tiny-stories-contest.
VIRGINIA MCCREEDY
I
am going to try to describe these books to you. It’s going to be difficult because they had me wondering “What is happening?” on every other page. Despite that, these atmospheric and deeply human stories gave me some of the most haunting reading experiences I have ever had, making me forget to eat lunch, or even forget to get off the bus. The unnamed narrator in Iain Reid’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things is on her way to meet her boyfriend’s parents for the first time. It is probably not the wisest move, since she is thinking of ending their relationship, a thought that makes her sad, seeing how much she enjoys talking to him. The end, however, is inevitable. There are things she is never going to be able to share with him, like the mysterious phone calls coming from inside the house every night. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is a profound exploration of human loneliness and a book that you will be compelled to re-read right after you finish. After reading The Hike by Drew Magary, you may hesitate the next time you want to go for a walk. Ben is early for his business meeting so he takes a hike in the surrounding woods. A short excursion turns into a neverending nightmare when Ben comes upon two people wearing Rottweiler masks who may have just committed a murder. He tries to outrun them and becomes lost. The world around him is decidedly not the world he is from. Talking crabs, fighting crickets, creatures made of smoke, battles royale with giants and other horrors await Ben. All he wants is to go home and see his family, and to do that, he must follow the Path and find the Producer. The ending will stop your heart. Jeremy works at a video store and he has been getting complaints from his regulars. They say the tapes have things

spliced onto the original movies. Sure enough, he and owner Sarah Jane find what appear to be clips of someone’s home videos: hooded figures, writhing sacks, people running or just a few minutes of nothing except breathing noises. When Sarah Jane recognizes a barn in one of these unsettling clips, she decides to investigate. Universal Harvester by John Darnielle will engulf readers in the story’s underlying dread and the characters’ painful memories, and all you can do is curl up into a ball for days after finishing it. The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley centres around a small community’s belief that one day, a miracle will occur. Every year, Hanny’s family, along with a small group of parishioners, visits the shrine at the Loney so Hanny can drink its water. As long as their faith is strong, they believe Hanny, who is mute and has a learning dis-

ability, will be cured. Their annual pilgrimage is jeopardized, however, when their longtime priest dies unexpectedly. Father Bernard, his replacement, is not getting it right. Then there’s the place itself, masterfully conjured in our minds by the author’s simple yet impeccable prose. Hanny’s brother describes it best: it has “too much time”. You helplessly watch as
the Loney’s tides slowly wash away all the hopes and dreams of those who visit, and you will be left questioning what truth really is. Looking for more books that will grab hold of you and refuse to let go? Visit your library.

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given that the City of Coquitlam will be holding a Public Hearing to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws. This meeting will be held on:
Date: Time: Location:
Monday, July 10, 2017 7:00 p.m. City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2
Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing, Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda.
Item 1 Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre Master Plan The intent of Bylaw No. 4742, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) Bylaw No. 3479, 2001 to support the implementation of the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre Master Plan (PCNC Master Plan) and make corresponding amendments to the CWOCP’s Northeast Coquitlam Area Plan, the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan and the Citywide Urban Design and Development Permit Area Guidelines. The PCNC Master Plan is comprised of the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre Concept Plan, Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre Streetscape Guidelines and Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre Development Guidelines. If approved, the PCNC Master Plan would: • Adjust the boundary of the “Neighbourhood Centre” land use designation in the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan; • Adopt policies to guide development within the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre; and • Establish Development Permit Guidelines to guide the form and character of future development within the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre. If approved, the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre Master Plan would facilitate the development of a pedestrian-oriented mixed use neighbourhood centre within the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Centre.

Men over 30
Testosterone declining?
- Testosterone levels in men begin to diminish around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). As testosterone levels decline, men tend to notice a loss in muscle mass and strength, and a gain in body fat—especially in the abdominal region (the old “beer belly syndrome”). Abdominal fat also happens to be the most dangerous place to store fat due to its proximity to your vital organs. Conversely, as testosterone levels rise, lean body mass increases and obesity decreases. BY BRAD KING, M.S., MFS
Thankfully, hormonal fidelity can be repaired through a program of proper diet, exercise and naturally proven nutrient supplementation. Ultimate Male Energy™ incorporates natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy hormone biochemistry and reduce the symptoms of declining testosterone levels. When testosterone levels drop, the libido that once never failed you, is all but gone! The natural ingredients, including Tongkat Ali, found in Ultimate Libido™, are not only safe for daily use, they work as a natural aphrodisiac to enhance excitability, promote stronger erections and better orgasms. Prostate problems are also a common affliction for men as they age. Over 30 million men throughout North America suffer from a condition called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), which represents the enlargement or swelling of the prostate gland. The twelve 100% natural research-proven ingredients within Ultimate Prostate™ work to support and enhance overall prostate health naturally and reduce early symptoms of BPH, including urination difficulties. Ask for Ultimate Male Energy™, Ultimate Libido™ and Ultimate Prostate™ to enhance energy, increase libido and support prostate health while reducing the effects of declining testosterone levels.

ELSEWHERE IN THE TRI-CITIES Port Coquitlam: Canada Day celebrations start at 8 a.m. at Lions Park and continue after noon at Castle Park with music from the Jocelyn Pettit Band, Joe Fernandes Band, The Heels, PoCo’s own Chersea and Jordan Klassen. Coquitlam: Town Centre Park is where the action is until 10 p.m. At 12:30 p.m. the Coastal Sound Children’s Choir hits the stage followed by Rollin’ Trainwreck, Mazacote, Uzume Taiko, The Giggle Dam Band and, at 8:30 p.m. a Battle of the Bands with Off the Record faces The Ticket.
TROOPER.COM
Trooper is Ra McGuire, Brian Smith, Gogo, Scott Brown and Clayton Hill. The Juno-award rock band will play Rocky Point Park in Port Moody on July 1 at 9 p.m. The show will be followed by fireworks.
working on? McGuire: We do have a busy touring schedule (we’ll be flying in from Belleville, Ont., the night before our Port Moody show) but even if we didn’t we wouldn’t be considering a new album. There just aren’t enough people out there who care about new records by “classic” bands. This has been proven over and over again by much bigger bands than us. Our complete focus is on the shows these days. TCN: What’s it like to front a band at 67 versus 27? McGuire: It’s still a lot of fun! jcleugh@tricitynews.com
GETTING THERE
SkyTrain: Hop off at the Moody Centre station and walk west to the overpass and down the ramp to the park; Car: There’s no parking at Rocky Point Park but there will be street parking (Inlet Field Park is also available); Bus: Visit tripplanning. translink.ca to plan your route to the park.

Ours is definitely not big and bombastic. From our side of the stage, a great show is one where we mind-meld with the audience and we all rock together. TCN: Who are the people in your audiences typically? McGuire: At all-ages shows like this one, it continues to surprise us that most of the people we can see in front of us are between the ages of 16 and 25. As you get further back in the crowd, folks get a little older and then, way at the back, on lawn chairs, are the people my age. TCN: What other songwriters/bands do you follow today? McGuire: My taste in music stays pretty loose. My current favourite albums are by J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, 21 Pilots, and Rag ’n’ Bone Man but that can change from month to month. Lately, I’ve also been digging back into the Stax-Volt catalogue of soul and R&B — the stuff I cut my teeth on. TCN: Besides a busy touring schedule, what else is Trooper

Canadian rockers Trooper headline the Golden Spike Days’ Canada Day festivities at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody on July 1. The band, formed in 1975 by Ramon “Ra” McGuire and Brian Smith, is best known for such hits as Raise a Little Hell, We’re Here for a Good Time, and The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car. And, over the past four decades, the Juno-award winning group has penned more songs, earned SOCAN honours, written books and even donated memorabilia to the Canadian Museum of Civilization — a nod to their impact on the country’s music scene. Last week, The Tri-City News caught up with frontman McGuire to talk about their upcoming all-ages performance in Port Moody: TCN: Has Trooper played Rocky Point Park in Port Moody before? If so, when and for what occasion? McGuire: This will be our third performance at Golden Spike Days. In 2004, we caused a bit of a stir when I failed to remember that the show was all-ages and I forgot to delete a particular expletive. Thankfully, after a heartfelt apology, all was forgiven and we returned in 2006. And now, 11 years later, we are glad to have been invited back once again. TCN: What can we expect for the July 1 show? McGuire: Canada Day is always a big deal show for us. As you know, we’re pretty proud Canadians. There were thousands of people at our last two shows there so we’re thinking this is going to be one of the great ones. TCN: What makes a great rock concert? McGuire: I guess that would be different for every kind of music fan. Some like them intimate and personal, some like them big and bombastic.

O Canada, eh? A history lesson in 60 minutes JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
If you’re feeling rather patriotic this week — as Canada marks its 150th year on Saturday — you can brush up on the nation’s history, as told by actors in 60 minutes. Monster Theatre has reworked the production that established them 16 years ago to suit a younger crowd. And tomorrow (Thursday) it will mount its retooled retelling of The Canada Show at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre, the first time it has brought the play back since it appeared at the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver. Co-writer Ryan Gladstone, who penned the original version with Bruce Horak in 2001,
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Monster Theatre has updated The Canada Show: The Complete History of Canada in One Hour, for families. The remount is at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam tomorrow (Thursday).
said The Canada Show has toured extensively including at high schools, theatres and festivals across the country. “For the first five years, we did it so much that after every performance we were rewriting it to keep it fresh,” Gladstone said. “The last time we did it was in 2010 and half of the audience wasn’t from Canada. It was all news to them.” The country has seen many changes over the past seven years including a new prime minister and more recognition of the First Nations’ culture. Still, the theatre company also hasn’t shied away from heavier topics such as residential schools and Japanese internment camps “but, for the most part, it’s very lighthearted,” Gladstone said.
As well, The Canada Show includes references for all ages ranging from John Diefenbaker to Justin Bieber. And then there’s the twisted fare: a dancing beaver, Bob and Doug McKenzie explaining the Cold War and Leonard Cohen singing about Canadian inventions in Nobody Knows. The “lesson” is told through the lens of three bickering historians: one English, another French and the third trying to make sense of it all. This year, Gladstone said, Monster Theatre will perform The Canada Show about 60 times. “It’s the show that gave us our beginnings,” he said, “and we never tire of it.” For tickets at $20/$10, call 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

StoryHive, Crazy8s reel in Leos for locals JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News
Two motion picture projects that started as competition entries reeled in Leo Awards this month for two Port Moody filmmakers. PoMo secondary graduate Joel Ashton McCarthy took the Best Direction Short Drama accolade for his flick I Love You So Much It’s Killing Them, a dark comedy designed during last year’s Crazy8s eight-day filmmaking contest. And Andrew Millard — one-third of the creative team that made Hand Crafted — took Best Picture Editing in an Information, Lifestyle or Reality Program or Series, for the episode The Sculptor; the series was honed under Telus’ StoryHive program. Hand Crafted also won Andrew Muir a Best Direction Leo for The Potter episode, and Greg Bartels a Best Cinematography Leo for the same show (Keith White earned a Leo for Best Sound for The Sculptor, too). Millard said Hand Crafted was named a semi-finalist in the StoryHive competition but after it lost two years ago, the Telus Optik Local team picked

Port Moody video editor/director Andrew Millard is one-third of the team that created Hand Crafted, which won four Leos. up the series. Shot as mini documentaries, Hand Crafted takes a dive into the work of artists and entrepreneurs who make a living with their hands — for example, potters, sculptors, carpenters and ski makers. The Hand Crafted shorts in the first and second season average five minutes in
length each; however, the new character pieces in Season 3 — which will be released this summer — are slightly longer, Millard said. “It’s people doing old-school art,” he said, “and finding out their process behind it.” Last year, Hand Crafted clinched four Leos for their inaugural season. Meanwhile, Ashton’s I Love You So Much is a 15-minute romp exploring a lonely serial killer who falls in love. At the Leos, the Burnaby resident was up against worldrenowned playwright Neil LaBute (In the Company of Men) in the same category. “I’m thrilled to have won the best directing award,” he said. “I’ve been making films since I was 10 years old in the suburbs of Coquitlam so it’s an honour to win a best of BC award.” The 19th annual Leos, which recognize the best of B.C.’s film and TV industry, were held June 3 and 4 at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver. Meanwhile, Ashton’s feature film, a mockumentary titled Shooting the Musical, plays tomorrow (Thursday) at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver. jcleugh@tricitynews.com @jcleughTC

HARRY JEROME CLASSIC
Buzz fuels athletes & guides fans A track and field meet can be like a five-ring circus MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tara Self, a coach at the Coquitlam Cheetahs track and field club, says she expects a bump in interest in the sport because of Wednesday’s Harry Jerome Classic at Percy Perry Stadium.
Just follow the bouncing athletes. That’s the advice for spectators looking for a big performance at today’s (Wednesday) Harry Jerome Classic track and field meet from a former Olympian and the current coach of the Coquitlam Cheetahs, Tara Self. “If they look like they’re excited to be on the track, they’re ready to go,” said Self, a sprinter who represented Canada at two Olympic games. “They look happy, they’ve got that bounce to them.” Watching a track meet can be a little like attending a five-ring circus, with numerous competitions all occurring simultaneously; a javelin pierces the sky across the field as hurdlers step into the blocks at the end of the front straight while a highjumper clears the bar at the end of the stadium. “It isn’t like a hockey game or a soccer game where you can sit and see the play going back and forth,” Self said. “You have to be externally aware, you have to be looking around.” And listening. Self said taking cues from the public address announcers as they introduce athletes or preview a competition can help prepare spectators for a big performance. The anticipation of the crowd will fill in the rest. “You’ll be able to feel the buzz of what people are looking
at,” Self said. That buzz also fuels the athletes. With Percy Perry filled to capacity, Self said the atmosphere will be electric and that charges up the competitors to perform their best. “You totally feed off that,” Self said. “You’re here to compete but it’s a show. The athletes know people are here to watch them.” Among those spectators will be most of the 210 young athletes who comprise the Cheetahs club. Many of them will be volunteering, carrying clothes boxes for the competitors, moving blocks at the starting lines. It’s a unique opportunity to get close to top athletes and see what it takes to get there, Self said. “The kids are very excited,” Self said. “Every kid wants to play in the NHL but it isn’t until you’ve actually been around an athlete of that calibre that you understand where you could potentially go as an athlete.” The benefits of having top athletes like Andre De Grass running on the same track could be felt by the Cheetahs in years to come, Self said, as kids get turned on to the sport. Getting a bump in membership is common in Olympic years, she said. Her challenge is to turn that curiosity into passion. “It’s retaining those athletes and having a program that encourages them to come out year after year and try their best,” Self said. “We can say, you know what, if you stick with this you could be at the Olympics eight or 12 years down the road.” Competition at the Harry Jerome Classic begins at about 6:20 p.m. Gates open at Percy Perry Stadium at 5:30 but the event is sold out.
Who to watch for at today’s Harry Jerome Classic ANDRE DE GRASSE (100M, 200M)
ALYX TREASURE (HIGH JUMP)
MELISSA BISHOP (800M)
He’s the event’s poster boy and he’ll be hard to miss. De Grasse ran his first sub10 second 100 m just over two years ago, but he bolted into Canadian sports’ consciousness at last year’s 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro when he literally turned the head of sprinting superstar Usain Bolt. Self says De Grasse will be in good form in Coquitlam. “I don’t think he’s showing up just to put a run in,” said the Coquitlam Cheetahs’ coach.
Treasure is an up-and-coming high jumper from Prince George. After winning two Canadian high jump titles in 2014 and 2015, Treasure finished seventh at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto. In May of last year, she qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics by leaping her personal best, 1.93m. She went on to reach the event’s final in Rio and finished 17th. To qualify for the IAAF World Championships, she’ll have to clear 1.94 m.
Bishop has been running since 2004 but it wasn’t until 2012 that she broke through 2:00 in the 800 m. Three years later, she won the gold medal at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto and a silver at the World Championships in Beijing. She finished fourth at 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Bishop will be looking to defend her title as 800 m champion in last year’s Harry Jerome Classic.

BC JUNIOR A LACROSSE
Saints’ big second period floods Lakers PoCo pushing for playoffs with wins MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Port Coquitlam Saints scored nine goals in the second period to defeat the Burnaby Lakers 14-10 in their BC Junior Lacrosse League game Monday at Burnaby’s Copeland Arena. The win keeps the Saints abreast the Victoria Shamrocks in the battle for fourth place and home-floor advantage in a wild-card playoff. Each team has 18 points but PoCo has a game in hand. The Saints broke open a tight-checking game that had the Lakers ahead 3-2 at the first intermission by scoring in bunches of three after the break. Dylan Foulds got the trifecta of trés started 1:13 into the second period. Then, 45 seconds later, Carson Rees put the visitors in front 4-3. Brodie Gillespie’s second goal of the game gave PoCo a 5-3 cushion before Jordan Gabriele got that back for the Lakers. But it took the Saints just 25 seconds to resume rolling as Rees launched their second three-goal run that put them ahead 8-4. A goal by Burnaby’s Jesse Gastaldo, his second of the game, stanched the flow
of goals into the Lakers’ net for all of nine seconds. That’s when Clarke Walter put the visitors up by four, 9-5. Mickey Fitzpatrick and Walter’s second of the game put PoCo in front 11-5 before the hosts got one of those back with 3:14 left in the frame. Carson Rees and Walter’s hat trick goal ballooned PoCo’s lead to 13-6 just over two minutes into the third period. And while Burnaby managed to outscore the Saints, 4-1, the rest of the way, it was nowhere near enough. Walter added five assists to his three goals while Gillespie, Foulds and Fitzpatrick each had four-point nights. The win continued a bounce-back weekend for PoCo following a 13-6 loss to the powerhouse Coquitlam Adanacs on Friday. The Saints got back into the win column Saturday with a 22-9 pasting of the last-place Nanaimo Timbermen at Frank Crane Arena. In that game, 10 Saints scored multiple points, led by Walter’s seven goals and two assists. PoCo has four games remaining in the regular season, three of them against teams lower in the standings. The other is against the Langley Thunder, who are in third place, two points ahead of fourth place.
