Sean Casey is one of five Special Olympians from Coquitlam headed to Antigonish, N.S. next week to compete in the National Games. Two of his track and field events will be javelin and shot put. For more on Casey and a special anniversary for Special Olympics, see story on page 7.

THAT SINKING FEElING Baseball diamonds at Port Coquitlam’s Thompson Park are in rough shape: page 3

A former Olympian wants to bring Rowing Canada’s national training centre to Buntzen Lake.

Cedric Burgers, who competed at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, said the size and stillness of the water makes the popular Tri-Cities spot is an ideal place to locate the facility.

“We know that this is the perfect location,” he told The Tri-City News Thursday. “It is close to the metropolitan centre. It is still, it is deep, there are no powered craft on it.”

Currently, Rowing Canada has a facility in London, Ont. mainly used by the national women’s team while a second training centre is located on Vancouver Island near Victoria, which is mainly used by the men’s team. see proposal, page 8

PORT COQUITLAM RECREATION

PoCo ponders what to do with diamonds in the rough Thompson Park is a problem for PoCo baseball Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam has three diamonds in the rough, and that’s not good.

The high cost of fixing up the baseball fields at Thompson Park that are “sinking” has the city looking for a new place to play ball.

Thompson Park, on PoCo’s south side, has a long history of settlement issues. The diamonds were built over a bog backfilled with wood chips that has decomposed and settled over time. The results are inconsistent and uneven playing surfaces, fencing and facilities.

Last year, PoCo council approved design work and a geotechnical analysis so the fields could be upgraded but discovered the situation was much worse than anticipated.

The city initially set aside $800,000 for the project but the cost projections came back much higher. Even if the budget were doubled, said a report to the city’s finance and budget committee Tuesday, the fields would face significant challenges down the line.

The committee accepted the city staff’s recommendation to spend $120,000 on a new fence and irrigation system this year and $30,000 annually for the next five years to address year-to-year problems while the city looks for a new place to play ball.

“No matter how far we dig down and replace the material, the material deep down underneath it is not strong enough to support the material on top,” said Kristen Dixon, PoCo’s director of engineering and public works.

Coun. Glenn Pollock, who is chair of the city’s healthy community committee, said going ahead with the project

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Coquitlam Minor Baseball president Darcy Jago and vice-president David Bird are worried about the safety of the organization’s players when they play on the uneven ground of the diamonds at Thompson Park. would be “throwing good money after bad.”

David Bird, vice-president of PoCo Minor Baseball, said during games on Thompson’s biggest diamond, it’s difficult to determine where hard-hit balls are going to bounce because the ground is so uneven.

As well, the fences on two of the diamonds are as wavy as a water slide.

“It’s just not very safe sometimes. Now when it rains, it’s really bad, it creates a lot of puddles,” Bird said.

Bird, who helps coach a regional under-18 team, the TriCity Thunder, that he won’t let practise on the field, said he has even seen ducks on the pop-up ponds, and that’s not a refer-

ence to the bases being loaded.

“Last year, we had a tournament and in right field, the puddle on one of the diamonds was about four inches.

It was about 20 feet by 20 feet but you couldn’t see it from the dugouts. We had to drain it and tape it off. It wasn’t very good looking,” he said.

Bird’s not surprised the ground is unstable. His parents told him when the diamonds were built more than 30 years ago trucks would get stuck and have to be pulled by bulldozers.

“They found a car buried in the muck,” said Bird. “That’s how bad it was back then.”

He also said PoCo Minor Baseball has lost some young players to the Coquitlam Little

League, which plays out of Mackin Park, because of the conditions at Thompson Park.

The report said to replace the fields, the city would need about 10 acres and the cost would be upwards of $1.5 million. And that sticker price does not include washrooms, change rooms, fencing, parking and other amenities, or the cost of purchasing land, if necessary.

“We don’t have anything in our [land] inventory that would be an exact replica to our site,” said Dixon.

Bird admitted building on any city property he has looked at would mean other sports, such as soccer and softball, would suffer and he

doesn’t want to see that.

Dixon and Pollock said one option could be to partner with School District 43 to build a field. Bird suggested the lower part of Pitt River middle school where a diamond used to be located.

While the relocation discussions haven’t even begun, Pollock doesn’t want them going on too long.

“I just don’t want baseball to be waiting forever,” Pollock said.

While Dixon said the city hasn’t begun to contemplate how the Thompson site might be repurposed, Pollock said he thinks it should become a passive park.

$110k for new dressing room Just like many a homeowner doing renovations, the city of Port Coquitlam is making a late upgrade to its recreation complex makeover.

The city’s finance committee has agreed to spend an estimated $110,000 to do the roughins for a feature dressing room in the hope the city will be able to find a team or sport group willing to share the estimated construction costs of $300,000 to $400,000.

Coun. Glenn Pollock, chair of the city’s healthy community committee, proposed the concept earlier this year when he realized it wasn’t included in the original plans. He said he thought it would be a given that such a dressing room would be part of the redevelopment, so didn’t bring it forward until recently.

“You want to have a feature dressing room,” Pollock told The Tri-City News. “That will certainly be an asset to our Jr. A lacrosse club [Port Coquitlam Saints] and if we ever get a Junior B [hockey] club that would be an asset too.”

Pollock has approached various groups and has found some interest but none could contribute enough financially. He said a Jr. B hockey team was interested but the expiration of its current lease is not imminent.

A staff report to the finance committee warned adding the rough-ins would reduce the project’s contingency fund, so if something unanticipated arises later on, it could mean having to find money elsewhere.

CONDO LIVING

Bigger hammer to deal with Airbnb Stratas will be able to levy fines up to $1,000 DiAne StrAnDBerg The Tri-CiTy News

Condo owners now have a new tool to stop short-term rentals that bring strangers, property damage and other problems to apartments and townhouses throughout B.C. And the initiative, announced Wednesday by Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson, is giving some comfort to longtime residents of a townhouse development in Coquitlam’s City Centre.

“We need to be aware but also know our own rights,” said Heather Thew, a resident of Lakeside Terrace, who said residents suspect a short-term rental has been operating for some time in their building because they see different people coming and going, many with suitcases.

Effective Nov. 30, they’ll have more tools to deal with the problem after Robinson promised a change to the Strata Property Regulation that will allow stratas that restrict or ban short-term rentals to fine scoff-

Tony GiovenTu oF CHoA laws up to $1,000 a day instead of the $200 a week allowed under current regulations.

“It’s important residents have the right tools to effectively manage their properties,” said Robinson, who is also the minister of municipal affairs and housing.

With the rental vacancy rate hovering at 1%, Robinson said she hopes the higher fines will discourage short-term rentals in stratas that don’t want them while possibly freeing up more homes for people to live in.

Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners Association (CHOA), says his members wanted the change because it gives stratas more clout in

dealing with what has become a growing problem, especially in areas popular with tourists.

He said investors, speculators and corporations have been buying up hundreds of condos and renting them out, reducing rental stock, inflating condo prices and creating headaches for residents.

“Volunteers are being asked to manage properties that are being run as a hotel,” Gioventu said at a press conference Wednesday, adding that security can be compromised and property damage a problem when partiers don’t look after the suite they are in.

“It was a concern and [a fine of] $200 a week is hardly a deterrent,” Gioventu said, adding that it’s up to individual stratas to decide whether to allow or ban short-term rentals.

“This isn’t shutting down Airbnb, it is an enforcement issue,” he said.

Thew, who stood in a crowd with a dozen other residents, said she plans to take more action on the issue by taking it up with her strata council.

“It’s an eye opener,” Thew said of the short-term rental issue, “We have to keep watch.”

Sean Casey works on his javelin form under the gaze of his mother, Alison. Casey has been a Special Olympian for 15 of his 33 years and his mom has volunteered in various capacities. The worldwide movement that provides sporting opportunities to young people and adults with intellectual disabilities is launching its 50th anniversary with a global Day of Inclusion on Saturday.

26 states and Canada to Soldier Field in Chicago.

Last year, more than 5.7 million athletes from 172 countries participated in over 108,000 games and competitions around the world.

Next week, Casey will be amongst five Coquitlam athletes leaving for Antigonish, N.S. to compete at the National Games, which are a qualifier for the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games that will be held in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. It will be another pin in Casey’s travel map along with those from South Korea, Quebec City, Edmonton and Newfoundland.

Alison Casey said her son would never have those opportunities without Special Olympics, where he competes

in swimming, golf, track and field, and cardio fitness in the summer, and speedskating and curling in the winter. It’s a world she never imagined when she first enrolled him in speedskating 15 years ago so he could bond on the ice with his hockey-playing brothers, Brennan and Liam.

Casey, 33, said he loved the sense of accomplishment he got from speedskating, even if he was never fast enough to beat his buddy.

“It felt good to be able to do it well,” he told The Tri-City News.

Over the years he has expanded his sports repertoire.

But more importantly, said his mom, he has made lifelong friends among the 200 or so Coquitlam athletes who participate in Special Olympics.

Competing has also given him confidence to be more independent in other aspects of his life.

“There’s a level of understanding and acceptance,” said Alison Casey, who has volunteered as a curling coach and treasurer. “It’s hugely supportive.”

That support extends to the family and friends of Special Olympians who often share the same concerns about the wellbeing and future prospects of their children with challenges.

“We’re all in the same boat,” she said. “It’s nice to be part of a family.”

Sean Casey was just coming around the turn when his best buddy and chief rival on the speedskating ice ahead of him lost an edge and slid into the padded boards. But instead of taking advantage of the situation to skate to an easy victory, Casey glided to a stop and helped his friend get back on his feet so they could finish their race together.

It’s that kind of camaraderie and sportsmanship that is at the heart of the Special Olympics, said Casey’s mom, Alison Casey, who’s been a volunteer with the Coquitlam division of the worldwide organization since she got her son involved 15 years ago.

Saturday, Coquitlam city hall and the pillars of the nearby SkyTrain guideway, as well as iconic buildings and landmarks around the province like BC Place, the sails at Canada Place and the legislature, will be lit up with red as part of a global Day of Inclusion to launch the 50th anniversary of Special Olympics.

The movement to provide sporting opportunities for youth and adults with intellectual disabilities was started in 1968

by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of the late John F. Kennedy. She’d been running a summer day camp from her home in Maryland since 1962 but, six years later, the event evolved into a full-blown competitive event that attracted more than 1,000 athletes from

BUNTZEN LAKE

Proposal pushback continued from front page

But earlier this year, the organization issued a request for proposals (RFP) to find a new location to house both teams.

Burgers, who is not affiliated with Rowing Canada, has taken up the request and is the proponent for the Buntzen Lake proposal. He said the waterway has to be at least 2 km long, although the RFP said 4 km is optimal, with up to eight lanes marked by buoys. The centre would also require the construction of a boathouse to store the boats — some of which can be up to 72-feet long — as well as a change room and washroom facility.

Ideally, Burgers said, the boathouse would be located near the Burrard pump house at the southwest end of the lake but he is open to locating on the north shore.

At its peak use, up to 60 rowers would train at the facility between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., with the busiest times taking place in April and October. July and August are slower, he added, as competitive rowers are out of town competing at events and regattas around the world.

While concerns have been raised by residents in the community, Burgers’ proposal has some supporters.

Wendy Chan, the treasurer of the Inlet Rowing Club in Port Moody, said the club has heard

rumblings about the initiative and is pleased with the prospect of having a national training centre right down the street.

“We’re obviously super excited about having a facility so close to our club (should it come to fruition),” she said in an email. “We hope it would bring more rowers to Port Moody and raise the profile of the sport.”

But not everyone is thrilled with Burgers’ idea.

Louise McRae, an Anmore resident who often takes her grandchildren to the park, said the buoys would be an eyesore and the course would take up a significant portion of the lake.

“Right now, you look down the lake and you see the beautiful water and the mountains,” she said. “What you are going to see for most of the day is these paddlers and all these buoys. It restricts the use of the lake greatly.”

McRae also raised questions about the amount of traffic the rowers would create as well as increased noise.

Linda Weinberg, another longtime Anmore resident, concurred with McRae, stating in an email to The Tri-City News that Buntzen is not big enough to house the national facility (her letter to the editor can be found on page 13).

She noted that the lake is 3 km long from the south beach to the north beach, with the

rowers requiring more than 2 km in the middle for their training lanes.

“The lake is too small,” she said. “The rowers will disrupt any persons wanting to boat on the lake.”

Burgers acknowledged the community’s concerns and said bringing the training centre to Buntzen is far from a done deal.

He has presented his proposal to Anmore council, which has supported it in principal, according to Mayor John McEwen. And he is still in talks with BC Hydro, which controls the lake. Burgers added that he is also pursuing discussions with the province and local First Nations.

If he can get all of the various groups on board, Rowing Canada would still have to choose his proposal among those submitted (Terry Dillon, the organization’s CEO, would not say how many other proponents have responded to the RFP).

“They do not want to be somewhere where they are not wanted,” Burgers said. “The opportunity here is to see the Olympic rowing team training on Canada’s most beautiful piece of water. The benefits are hard to pin down but certainly there is a sense of pride that would come out of it.”

I am a hard-working customer-service-oriented real estate agent who helps home buyers and sellers in the Greater Vancouver area with a focus on Tri-City area. My wife and I have lived in the Tri-Cities for the past 20 years and we love our community. I understand and appreciate the personal side of the real estate business, as well as the financial side. A home is an investment; but it’s also much more than that. It’s quality of life. I see my profession as a way to give back to the local community, and the people who call it home.

Being a real estate agent allows me to use my many years of experience in serving clients needs in the corporate world, in serving the needs of people in my community.

Purchasing or selling a home can be exciting. But it can also be frustrating. It’s particularly stressful for first-timers and those who have a short timeline. I know this firsthand, because I’ve been there myself. That’s why I work extra hard to keep my clients informed, and to carry out the process as smoothly as possible.

When I’m not serving my clients, I enjoy traveling with my wife to new places across the country and around the world.

Searchers and divers were at Buntzen Lake Tuesday and Wednesday after a 19-year-old man went missing.

BUNTZEN LAKE

Body found at Buntzen Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The body of a swimmer who went missing Tuesday night at Buntzen Lake has been recovered.

Coquitlam RCMP confirmed Thursday morning that the body of the 19-year-old Surrey man was located Wednesday night about 100 m from the shore at a depth of approximately 40 m.

An autopsy will be conducted by the BC Coroners Service but police said there are no signs of foul play and they do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor.

“Coquitlam RCMP and our Victim Services are doing their best to support the family,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin in a press release. “As you can imagine, the family is very upset.”

Mounties and Coquitlam Search and Rescue were called to the lake Tuesday night after friends of the victim reported him missing. The friends said they had lost sight of the man, who they noted was not a strong swimmer and had ventured some distance from the shore.

McLaughlin told reporters Wednesday morning the victim was relying on a novelty floaty rather than a certified personal

floatation device to keep him afloat.

“Unfortunately, this is one of those reminders that if you need to stay afloat, a personal floatation device [PFD] is the best way and safest way to do that,” he said.

Buntzen Lake was closed for most of Wednesday as the RCMP dive team and search and rescue tried to locate the body.

Coquitlam SAR vice-president Tom Zajac said these kinds of incidents are an important reminder to be safe around the water. He added that the lakes, rivers and oceans can be “unforgiving” and people need to evaluate the risks before getting in for a swim.

“Every year, many young and active lives are cut short by preventable drownings,” he said in an email. “Coquitlam SAR encourages everyone to wear [personal floatation devices].”

While no drugs or alcohol are believed to be involved Tuesday night’s incident, Zajac said it is important people abstain from consuming these items around the water.

Have charge, will travel?

Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The increasing popularity of electric vehicles has the city of Coquitlam looking at increasing the number of charging stations on public property.

More than 18,000 plug-in cars are expected to be registered in the city by 2030, according to BC Hydro projections, and the city said it needs to build infrastructure to accommodate the growth.

“The shortage of publicly available EV charging sites presents a barrier to the increasing purchase rate of EVs,” said a staff report. “This is an issue that is of practical concern for those living in multi-family residential buildings and those who travel long distances for work or travel.”

Currently, there is a charging station at Coquitlam city hall, which is offered for both public and city staff use. But municipal planners have identified Town Centre Park, Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch, the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex and the City Centre

Aquatic Complex as potential future sites for more stations.

In a report to council, staff noted they would also be looking at ways of encouraging the development of charging stations on private property.

Most electric vehicle owners have their own chargers at home but may need a boost when they are away from their residence for extended periods of time.

There are still questions around what technology should be used if the city moves forward with the development of its own charging network. Currently, the Level 2 stations can take three to four hours to fully power up an automobile while Level 3 stations can charge a vehicle in less than one hour.

City staff will also look at how to fund the stations and what to charge users.

The report to council noted the city of Vancouver already has a $2-per-hour fee for its Level 2 stations and a $16-perhour fee for the Level 3 fast charging stations. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

#POMOvotes2018

PM candidates begin campaigns Two candidates have officially launched their election campaigns for Port Moody council and a third posted her intention to run but has yet to declare her candidacy.

Coun. Meghan Lahti will seek reelection. She was on council from 1996 to 2011, then took a break, returning to council in 2014. In 2016, Lahti opened her own small business — Sweet and Savoury Pie Company in Vancouver — after a long career as an educator.

Richard Biedka also started his campaign to win a council seat in the Oct. 20 municipal elections. He ran for council in

last year’s byelection after Rick Glumac resigned his seat when he was elected to the provincial legislature as the MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam. Biedka, who works in the seafood industry, finished sixth out of eight candidates with 147 votes.

And Coun. Diana Dilworth posted a message on a Facebook discussion group that she intends to run but she has yet to launch her reelection campaign. She was first elected to council in 1999 and would be seeking her sixth term.

Civic elections in all B.C. municipalities will be held Saturday, Oct. 20. mbartel@tricitynews.com

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Worth the cost?

The NdP is either rewarding friends by creating a Crown corporation that will act as a hiring hall for infrastructure projects or making a stand in the effort to include more apprentices, women and Indigenous people in the construction of bridges and roads.

We suggest the aim is good but creating a whole level of bureaucracy to do this work seems like overkill, and probably will add to the costs of projects.

We need assurances that this won’t be the case as well as an explanation as to why these requirements aren’t just part of the requests for qualifications, with the winning bid the one with the best job managing costs and engaging in progressive hiring practices. all the same, we applaud the fact that a request for qualifications is finally being issued for the rebuilding of the 81-year-old Pattullo bridge. The new bridge will be safer, with wider lanes and a centre median, and could be open by 2023. More than four lanes would have made sense, but that’s a topic for another day.

PARENTING

A parent’s dream: Urban Family Sports Commune M etro vancouver families, I think I may have concocted a new combined theory of parenting and housing that will allow us to survive and thrive in this insanely expensive part of the world.

It’s called the urban Sports family Commune. I think it will change lives. (I also think it needs a better name.)

This idea is going to make life so much better and easier. all I need is to do is find several like-minded parents. It would ANDY PREST help if a few of them own tracts of land or are willing to give me several million dollars to get this thing started. are you in? Let’s go!

The idea came from spending the Canada day long weekend at a rustic cottage resort on one of the Gulf Islands with a big group of friends. The best feature of the resort was a large grass courtyard in the middle of the circle of cabins that featured a play structure and plenty of space to run. The second-best feature was that the resort had allowed my friends to rent out nearly all of the cabins, making for a huge safe zone that was permanently populated by at least a few friendly and faithful adults, some of whom were even sober.

What was so life-changing about this? Since the day my first son was born, and especially since my second son was added to the mix, nearly every day of my life has been geared in some way towards parenting. How am I going to keep these boys healthy? What activities do they like that don’t involve throttling each other? How long will it take for the ambulance to get here?

The answers have never seemed to come easily — until that island getaway.

Things would start at 7 a.m. (which, for my boys, is “sleeping in”) with a World Cup game on Tv, bacon sizzling in the pan and hot, strong coffee. after that, my boys would be released to the courtyard to play. It was the perfect spot: There were no bears, dump trucks or realtors prowling around scaring the children.

My boys are sports crazy and we brought it all: baseball equipment, soccer balls, frisbees, footballs. others brought lawn games that were equally enticing for my boys: bocce, spike ball, Yardzee and something called kubb, which is nicknamed “viking chess,” which is stupendous. We’d release the boys into this wonderful world of sports and games and they would play with assorted friends for hours while we were free to join in, hang back, have a nap or even talk to other adults.

We would bring the boys in whenever food was ready and then release them again to crush dingers or throw kubbs or whatever.

The sports would keep them entertained all day and, by the end of supper, they’d be exhausted and fall right into bed with only 40 to 45 minutes of complaining. It was glorious.

Why can’t life be like that all the time?

It can – here’s what we do: We get a piece of land or take over an empty West van mansion and we build a sports complex in the middle: batting cage, soccer nets, basketball hoops, kubb, bocce — the games could go on forever with minimal supervision. There would be no iPad time, unless it was to break down Steph Curry’s jump shot. They’d play ’til they dropped, then do it all over the next day.

I get that people in other parts of the country have much the same setup with something called a “backyard” but here, it’s not possible for many families to have that kind of space due to the crazy cost of housing.

Not possible until now. Now, we have the sports commune! and the best part: With all that sportsing and healthy living on in the commune, it’s 100% guaranteed most of the children will go on to lucrative pro sports careers. Whatever millions we initially invest will come back in billions in signing bonuses and sneaker contracts.

It’s win-win-win. If you’re nodding your head right now, come join me. bring your ball glove. and cash.

BUNTZEN LAKE

Rowing would hurt Buntzen tranquility The Editor, Residents of Anmore were surprised June 26 to receive a notice about a public meeting to introduce representatives of Rowing Canada (RCA) who want to relocate their National Training Centre to Buntzen Lake. With only two days notice, the meeting was poorly attended but to those who did go, there were many unanswered questions.

Initial diagrams showed the entire lake being used for RCA boats but, when questioned, the representatives said the organization would leave space at each beach for people to use.

Buntzen is a small lake, much of it surrounded by rock walls that amplify all sound.

The 60 rowers plus coaches will practise three times a day during all seasons. They will require buoys placed every 10 m in the water to mark their lanes. Nine lines of buoys that, during competitions, are red and luminous yellow-orange are attached to rails that are

SpEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. installed at the bottom of the lake. I believe they intend that these buoys will be a permanent fixture in the lake.

In order to manage the volume of rowers, RCA wants to build a permanent boathouse and private parking lot either near the old pump house or near the north beach swimming area. They will also have to install a septic facility in this pristine area.

At the Anmore meeting, an RCA representative stated Anmore village council had been informed about the plans and was in favour of them. But when asked, three of the five

Anmore officials denied they had endorsed the plan.

Buntzen is a small lake but it is a major recreation area for the Lower Mainland, and while the RCA has come to Anmore and to BC Hydro to talk about this National Rowing Centre, it has not attempted to inform any of our surrounding municipalities nor does it intend to do so, according to statements at the Anmore meeting.

The rowing group has argued a national centre will bring economic spinoffs and the pride of being part of winning an Olympic medal.

For all of us who enjoy the peace, tranquility and beauty of looking over the lake to the mountains, a 2,000-plus-metre buoyed course covered with rowing boats does not equate.

Rowing Canada has stated that it has other options across Canada. This lake is too small to have such a large portion taken up by one group. I do not think that this is a good fit.

TRI-CITIES AMALGAMATION

Do we really need three cities – and big costs?

The Editors, No wonder the politicians are smiling. The Tri-Cities’ three mayors’ combined salaries are in excess of $300,000, not including the tens of thousands they earn as Metro Vancouver board members. Three city managers make more than $600,000 combined; three fire chiefs over $400,000. The three municipalities have a combined population of roughly 227,000.

Compare the numbers to

those in Surrey, which that has more than double the population: The mayor made $132,000 last year, the city manager $323,000 and the fire chief $234,000.

The difference is a whopping $811,000.

Now, I know we have our police force, lakes and a better quality of life. But is it really worth paying hundreds of thousands more?

I buy groceries in Coquitlam, I walk and hike in Port Moody, and I shop

and use services in Port Coquitlam. I live, shop and play in the Tri-Cities. The cities are effectively merged.

Is it not time taxpayers consider merging these three cities?

The savings would be enormous. I can guarantee you one thing: The employees and politicians of these bureaucracies will not be in favour so the citizens must elect individuals who put us first, not their vested interests.

“With Tim Hortons, we’re able to give back on a whole other scale.”

Greg, Restaurant Owner from Cowichan Valley, BC Greg retired from a 17-year career in the NHL but knew he needed to keep busy, finding new ways to give back. So, he and his wife opened the first Tim Hortons in the small town they grew up in. Already heavily involved with community events of his own through his years as a professional athlete, Greg’s transition to the world of Tim Hortons was a seamless one. Now with the support of a national brand, his and his wife’s contributions have been taken to the next level. Where they once sponsored a single Timbit hockey team, they now sponsor over 75 across the Cowichan Valley.

Thank you, Greg. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

SUMMER EATING

It’s that tomato time of year at the market MARKET FRESH

6 medium tomatoes 1 lb. lean ground pork (or lentils for a vegetarian version) 1 small red onion 2 tsp minced garlic ¼-1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (optional) ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground black pepper 1 cup bread crumbs 1 beaten egg 2 tsp chopped parsley Preheat oven to 350 F. Split tomatoes through centre and scoop out centres into a bowl. Place hollowed tomatoes into a baking pan and set aside. Chop tomato centres. Peel and finely dice onion. Place a little olive oil in a skillet and begin to cook pork. Add diced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until meat is no longer pink. Add bell peppers and diced tomato centres and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat. Add beaten egg and bread crumbs, mixing well. Fill tomatoes with skillet contents. Place tomatoes in oven for 40-45 minutes until tomatoes are tender. tively easy, although they can be susceptible to various pests and blight. Generally speaking, tomatoes like full sun, acidic soil and even watering.

Combine those three things with the right varieties and

you can have an abundance of tomatoes in your garden. Even if all you have is a balcony, you can grow them.

Speaking of varieties, according to Wikipedia, there are more than 7,500. I can’t

Fun fact: During the late 1800s, a tariff dispute — heard of those? — in the U.S. resulted in the tomato being legally declared a vegetable as American tariff laws imposed duties on vegetables imported into the U.S. but not fruit. The decision was justified by the typical culinary use of the tomato and lack of sweetness. One could debate the sweetness, though. My mom often ate a tomato out of hand, saying they were as sweet as an apple. Mind you, she also told me eating a roasted parsnip was just like eating candy. — Karen imagine trying to weed through a seed catalogue to choose which ones to plant.

Thankfully, the farmers at market have done that for us and all we have to do is buy them.

A conversation with Ken at Red Barn or Randy and Mio at Baker Breeze will give you all the information you need to make your choice. Both farms carry a wide variety, from the common bright red beefsteak through the green-striped zebra to the bright yellow Taxi and everything in between. Once you know what you want to do with them, they can guide you in choosing the perfect ones.

Let’s talk about what to do with all those beautiful tomatoes: Fresh salsa, sauce, gazpacho, bruschetta, salad… the list is endless. A simple salsa can be as easy as dicing some tomatoes, onions, peppers and cilantro, and putting them all together. You can add a bit of jalapeño if you want some heat.

Diced raw tomatoes combined with diced red onion, garlic and basil will get you a bruschetta topping, perfect for serving with toasted bread from 2 Bald Bakers.

Maybe all you want is a simple salad. The classic panzanella salad takes on a market twist when you use bread from any of the great market bread vendors and finish it with a drizzle of Amazing Foods balsamic vinegar. Toss crispy bread cubes with chunks of tomato, cucumber and fresh basil, then add a good quality olive oil and let it marinade for an hour or so.

Sometimes simple is best. A thick slice on a sandwich or a burger is about as simple as it gets — and as good, too.

If cooking is what you would like to do, clearly a pasta sauce is at the top of the list. Either light and fresh or slowly simmered, both are outstanding. A quick sauté of garlic, chopped

he first of the tomatoes are starting to arrive at market. Say goodbye to hard, flavourless, imported field tomatoes and hello to perfectly vine-ripened, delicious, colourful heirloom varieties.

Slowly but surely, the stalls at both the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers’ markets are filling with tomatoes.

Botanically speaking, tomatoes are a fruit. What we eat as the tomato is actually the ovary of a flowering plant.

Tomatoes are native to South America and are part of the nightshade family.

Nightshades are often deadly and the tomato was long thought to be poisonous by Europeans. This might be because of the acid in the tomato reacting with the pewter plates commonly used at the time. We now know, of course, that this isn’t true, unless you are allergic to foods from the nightshade family.

tomatoes, basil and spinach, perhaps with a bit of Koji salt and Aji chunky chili sauce thrown in will get you a fast sauce for angel hair pasta.

Change it up by adding a protein like chicken or shrimp, or even some Italian sausage from Redl’s Beef. A timeless spaghetti sauce can be as easy as tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppers and oregano cooked low and slow, then finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of cinnamon. Make a big batch and keep it in the freezer.

How about zucchini boats?

Cut a zucchini in half lengthwise and hollow out a channel.

Brush the channel with olive oil, sprinkle on some oregano, then place halved cherry tomatoes in a row and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is browned.

However you choose to prepare and eat your tomatoes, know that by supporting your local market and farmers, you are not only making your mouth happy, you are validating the hard work of those of us who feed you. And for that, we thank you.

Coquitlam boxer heeds his passion Injury takes boxer in a different direction

DAN OLSON

MARIO BARTEL

NEW WEST RECORD

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A devastating injury didn’t derail Farhad Javadian’s boxing dream. It just put it on another track.

Javadian was training at Griffins gym in North Vancouver for his very first boxing match when he blew out his shoulder while sparring. The torn labrum put his fight aspirations down for the count.

But as Javadian awaited surgery, he concocted another idea.

“If I can’t be a champion, I can help produce a champion,” Javadian said.

And so was borne Rebels Boxing and Wrestling Club, the first such facility dedicated to boxing and old school wrestling in the Tri-Cities.

Pugilism and grappling run in Javadian’s blood.

His dad, Sohrab, was a provincial boxing champion in his native Iran until the sport was banned there and he took up wrestling.

When Javadian was growing up in Ottawa, his dad sent him to a boxing club to work off some of his adolescent energy.

“I was a wild kid,” Javadian said. “He knew the best thing was to put me in front of a heavy bag.”

’BELLIES MARCH PAST SAINTS

wants to feel good about themselves.”

And he still has his sights set on entering the ring himself.

Once Javadian’s right arm is free of its sling and he’s rehabbed, he said he’ll get back in the ring to start training again. He can hardly wait to reignite his passion “If I’m still walking when I’m 90 years-old, I’ll put on the gloves,” he said.

• For more information, go to http://rebelsboxingwrestling.ca

The result wasn’t a shock, but that didn’t make it any more palatable.

Although the sweep at the hands of the New Westminster Salmonbellies was predicted by many around the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League circle, the resolve that the PoCo Saints demonstrated over the three games revealed a lot to their coach.

“We didn’t quit. That was a pretty talented New West team, and with all the stuff PoCo’s been through (the players) played hard and didn’t give up,” noted Dan Stroup, who was installed as a co-coach just four days before the playoffs began. “I was impressed with the guys’ perseverance.”

They did persevere, but New West looked like a team that wanted to end the best-offive series quickly on Tuesday.

The ’Bellies scored the game’s first nine

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Farhad Javadian stands in the boxing ring of his new boxing club, Rebels, that he’s opened on the Barnet Highway in Coquitlam. An injury while he was training for his first bout led to the idea of opening his own gym so he could still be active in the sport.

Javadian took to the sport immediately. He said it gave him confidence, made him feel energized, ready to take on any challenge.

But Sohrab told his son he couldn’t actually box a match until he got a degree.

So Javadian did, in medical radiation technology at Algonquin College in Ottawa.

And when the family moved west, he headed for Griffins gym in North Vancouver, signed on with a coach and started training.

“My whole dream was box-

ing,” Javadian said. “I never had a thing I loved until boxing came along.”

Javadian was well on his way to his first amateur bout, scheduled for last June, when he hurt his shoulder.

It was a blow to Javadian’s competitive aspirations to be sure. But he wasn’t going to let the bell ring on his dream.

Javadian used his down time to earn his coaching certification and put the plans in motion to open his own gym.

He envisions Rebels as a classic gym where fighters of

all abilities and dedication can just get a good workout hitting heavy and speed bags or embark on a serious training regime to face opponents in the ring. Javadian’s dad, also a certified coach, will help out, and he’s casting about for other experienced coaches.

It’s not an easy dream to realize in the comfortable environs of suburbia, far from the inner city that has driven so many others to the sport as their way out of hardship.

But, Javadian said, “No matter where you are, everybody

goals and applied plenty of pressure on PoCo netminder Cam Overby, who faced 51 shots.

While the score stood at 1-0 for much of the first period, Nathaniel Kozevnikov doubled it with six minutes left, and was followed by a four-goal flurry to make it 6-0 after 20 minutes.

Brodie Gillespie, Carson Rees and Daytin Vidovich counted the Saints goals.

Stroup, who shared head coaching duties with Josh Wahl after Kelly Scott was unceremoniously usurped after guiding the club to a 13-6-2 record, said the squad faced an uphill battle each game but had a great attitude. “(New West) came out quickly, they’re pretty deep and anyone on that (offensive) end can score. These PoCo guys have been through a lot.

I’ve been only there a couple of weeks but I can see they’re passionate lacrosse players and they never give up. They didn’t give up and we tried to battle through it,” said Stroup.

The players saw two of its leaders dealt at the July trading deadline when team scoring leader Dylan Foulds and standout transition player Ryland Rees, who is currently playing for Canada at the World Field Lacrosse championships in Israel, were dealt,

The senior Coquitlam Adanacs lost for the 13th time in 15 games Tuesday, 9-4 to the Maple Ridge Burrards in Maple Ridge. The Adanacs are mired in last place in the Western Lacrosse Association standings with four points.

The Adanacs host the Victoria Shamrocks on Saturday, 7 p.m., at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

CANADA IN LAX FINAL

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

New Westminster Salmonbellies runner Will Malcolm tries to get away from the checks of PoCo Saints defenders Kyle Dozzi and Nick Scott in the first period of their BC Junior A Lacrosse League playoff game, Tuesday at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena. along with Graydon Bradley, to first-place Coquitlam for the Adanacs’ first picks in the midget draft in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

General manager Ken Woollard said Tuesday that while the moves were difficult to make they were vital to securing a strong future for the

Saints program going forward.

“We had to do it. Those draft picks are going to be a big part of the future,” said Woollard.

Among the ’Belles top players over the three games was former Saint Keegan Bell, dealt to New West in the offseason.

He scored a goal in each game and was one of many New

West players to help fill in for scoring star Tre Leclaire, who joined Rees at the world championships. Both Rees and Leclaire are expected back next week.

Having played with a majority of the players while growing up in PoCo minor lacrosse, Bell said he understood how

PoCo’s players were feeling heading into the offseason.

“Last year I was on the other end of this sweep (with PoCo),” said Bell. “It definitely feels a lot better being on the winning side of it, not having to have an early summer. I have lots of respect for everyone in that locker room.”
