Close to 22% of sexual assaults reported in the TriCities last year were deemed unfounded by police, according to StatsCan, and a UBC legal expert said that raises concerns complainants are not being believed. Janine Benedet, the director of the Centre for Feminist Legal Studies at the University of BC, said the numbers show the difficulty people face when reporting sexual assaults. “Never mind convincing a judge or jury,” she told The

Tri-City News. “You’re not even going to convince the police officer who is supposed to be there to receive your complaint.” In order for a case to be deemed unfounded, an investigation must determine that the reported crime did not occur and was not attempted. Last year, 97 sexual assaults were reported to authorities in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody; of those, 21 were dismissed by police, according to Statistics Canada crime data analyzed by The Tri-City News. For comparison, the 21.6% unfounded rate for sexual assault outpaces the 6% average for all Criminal Code violations and the 8.6% average for all violent crime reports. see

TRI-CITIES CRIME
Is problem ‘stereotypical judgments’ or a small sample size for statistics? continued from front page
“There is no evidence that I am aware of that suggests that sexual assault complaints are more likely to be fabricated than any other violent crime,” Benedet said. The high number of unfounded sexual assaults gained national attention in 2017 due to the international #MeToo Movement and an investigation by reporter Robyn Doolittle of The Globe and Mail. Since then, StatsCan has been publishing unfounded rates, a practice that had stopped in 2003 because of concerns over inconsistent data collection by police departments. As a result, the unfounded rates have fallen across the country, from 20% when Doolittle’s piece was published to 14% in 2017 and 11% in 2018. But the averages still vary widely among municipal police forces and actually increased in the Tri-Cities last year. The data shows that in 2018, Port Moody had the highest unfounded rate in the region at 42.9% (six of 14 reports) while Coquitlam was sixth at 20.8% (10 of 48 reports) and Port Coquitlam was 11th at 15.2% (five of 33 reports). All three Tri-City municipalities were higher than the regional average of 11.4%. Benedet said the wide range of unfounded rates among neighbouring cities cannot be explained by regional variations. “Do complainants in Port Moody lie more than com-

plainants in Maple Ridge?” she asked. “That is not right. It is not logical.” She believes it is more likely police officers “are making stereotypical judgements about women lying about sexual assault.” Benedet noted that sexual assaults are already significantly under-reported and
“Never mind convincing a judge or jury. You’re not even going to convince the police officer who is supposed to be there to receive your complaint.”
Janine Benedet added that if a large percentage of such files are dismissed
“One assault is too many, but the high percentage is skewed by the low number of overall assaults.” by police, it makes the task of bringing perpetrators to justice even more difficult. “You can see the incredible attrition rate for sexual assault operating in your own community,” she said. “The number of men who commit sexual assault and suffer the consequences for it is very small. There is just so much
Cpl. Michael McLaughlin filtering.” The Tri-Cities’ two police forces pushed back against assertions they are not taking complaints seriously. Port Moody Sgt. Travis
Carroll said the force reviewed all of its unfounded sexual assault reports from 2017 and 2018 and found they were thoroughly investigated. The reasons the reports were deemed unfounded varied. He said in one case, a victim recanted their initial statement while in others, new evidence was uncovered “that established the offence did not take place as reported.” Officers in the department’s major crime section are trained in first-response sexual assault investigations and interviewing, he added. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said using percentages when comparing unfounded rates can be misleading because the jurisdiction has so few sexual assaults, noting there were five unfounded reports in Port Coquitlam and 10 in Coquitlam for all of last year. “Sure, that is 15.2% and 20.8%, and one assault is too many, but the high percentage is skewed by the low number of overall assaults,” he said, later adding: “You can see how percentages are problematic for small numbers.” There are also inconsistencies with how unfounded cases are defined and coded, McLaughlin said. While that can be problematic for data collection, he said it is more important that the frontline investigations are being handled correctly. “All indications are that the quality investigations are happening,” he said. “We are alive to what a sensitive topic this is. We do take public complaints seriously.”

Police, family make plea for info in 2018 shooting
Freebie day could follow garage sales Coun. Zarrillo is worried about more curbside dumping
Coquitlam teen was killed following a family dinner
Gary McKeNNa gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Jessica Kerr jkerr@vancourier.com
Vancouver police and the family of a Coquitlam teen killed in a shooting in 2018 have renewed the plea for information in the case. “I am pleased with how the investigation is progressing but we know there are people who have critical information who have refused to provide investigators with that information,� said Staff Sgt. Mike Heard, who is leading the team of detectives investigating the shooting. “We are making an appeal to these people to do the right thing and speak with us. Their information could help form important evidence that will make a significant difference in how this investigation plays out.� On Jan. 13, 2018, 15-year-old Alfred Wong was in a car with his parents driving east on Broadway near Ontario Street at around 9 p.m. when shots rang out. Wong died two days later in hospital. Twenty-threeyear-old Kevin Whiteside, who police believe was the intended target, was also killed. “We know nothing can be

done to bring Alfred back but we think he deserves justice for his tragic death and we desperately want to know what happened that night,� said Chelly Wong, Alfred’s mother. “Without your help, the police may not be able to arrest the killer and our son will not be able to lay in rest. We ask for your help in giving closure to our grief,� she said. “Please help us ensure the person re-
sponsible for killing our son is held accountable. We will forever be grateful for your help.� Earlier this year, on the one-year anniversary of the shooting, Vancouver police released new information about the case. Investigators believe Whiteside was in the area to kill 28-year-old Matthew Navas-Rivas, who was at Indochine restaurant with a companion. As the pair left the
restaurant, Whiteside started shooting and an unidentified second shooter returned gunfire. Navas-Rivas got away unharmed that night but was gunned down in an unrelated incident in July 2018. Anyone who may have information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators at 604-717-0515 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Coquitlam is considering expanding its city-wide garage sale program to include a curbside giveaway, giving residents more opportunity to reduce, reuse and recycle gently used household items. The city holds a sale every spring that has grown to include more than 200 participating households since its inception in 2006. Because of this success, staff are proposing expanding the event from one day to two and adding a second sale in the fall. This would encourage “residents to use this opportunity to both sell and give away unused items,� said a recent report to council. “This could be further enhanced by encouraging residents to incorporate clearly marked ‘free’ items, along with the items they wish to sell.� Coquitlam is not the only city that holds a curbside giveaway. Vaughan, Ont. has had a similar program since 2017 and its representatives told Coquitlam planing staff the experience has not led to problems with unsightly premises or illegal dumping.
Saskatoon will hold a curbside giveaway this fall while Winnipeg has had one since 2009. Not everyone at the council table was convinced free items will find new homes. Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said she worries the initiative would lead to “curbside dumping,â€? noting the city already has issues with items being left on streets and boulevards. “I am heartbroken to think how‌ many discarded items will be out on the street that will become the problem of the taxpayer if we expand this to a curbside giveaway,â€? she said, later adding: “This is an illegal dumping nightmare.â€? Mayor Richard Stewart disagreed with her assessment, noting that giving residents more opportunity to get rid of unwanted items would reduce illegal dumping. He said things like furniture and mattresses are usually left on the street overnight, likely because “people don’t know how to get rid of it.â€? In the end, council voted to endorse the proposal, with only Zarrillo opposed (Coun. Chris Wilson was absent). According to the report to council, the current city-wide garage sale costs approximately $2,500 in staff time and advertising, an amount that would likely increase to $6,000 if the program is expanded.

Three of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

Tony Parsons shares his Hearing Health Story.
Did you know oral health impacts overall health? Many people know that poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, tooth decay and even lost teeth. But are you aware that failing to brush or visit the dentist regularly also can lead to more serious health issues? According to Colgate, recent research suggests that there may be an association between oral infections, particularly gum disease, and cardiovascular disease and preterm birth. Gum disease also may make diabetes more difficult to control, since infections may cause insulin resistance and disrupt blood sugar. Bacteria from your mouth can enter the bloodstream through infection sites in the gums. If your immune system is healthy, there should not be any adverse effects. However, if your immune system is compromised, these bacteria can flow to other areas of the body where they can cause infection. An important step in maintaining good overall health is to include dental care in your list of preventative measures. Visit the dentist for biannual cleanings or as determined by the doctor. Do not ignore any abnormalities in the mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene at home by brushing twice a day and flossing at least once per day. Mouthwashes and rinses also may help keep teeth and gums healthy.

Are your kids wild? They could be Outdoors-oriented preschool program launching in PoCo
PoCo kicks off shoreline cleanups Saturday
JANIS ClEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com
GRANT GRANGER ggranger@tricitynews.com
For parents eager to steer their little ones away from screens, Amanda Murphy and Harpreet Gill want to move kids toward a better picture: a view of the outdoors — up close. Next month, the pair will begin a nature program with the city of Port Coquitlam to show three-, four- and fiveyear-olds how great learning and playing in the fresh air can be. Murphy, a former Girl Guide who “now spends most of my weekends camping,� got the idea for Wildchild Outdoor Learning after working at Yaletown Montessori in downtown Vancouver. When Murphy started a garden there and taught the kids about where food comes from, “it sparked a fire in me,� she said. “I knew I wanted to be outside with them.� She obtained her Early Childhood Education certificate in 2012 and later met Gill, who also has her ECE plus a degree from the University of Victoria in the child and youth care program. During a transition at the preschool where they worked, Murphy and Gill decided to take the leap with Wildchild and pitched the

business to various municipalities. “It was hard to find people who are just as passionate as you to make it a go.� Last year, PoCo recreation supervisor Janis Dancs signed on to their proposal, offering Lions Park as the base. Although the program isn’t a licensed daycare, it still had to go through all the checks with Fraser Health Authority officials. There is no curriculum, Murphy stressed. If it’s raining, the shovels and buckets come out; and if the weather is nice, kids and caregivers will find leaves and branches to learn to count and talk
about trees, for example. “We’ve basically got a classroom but without any walls. We’re immersing them in the outdoors without giving them tons of information. It’s fun.� Tri-City mother Nadine Diner said the Wildchild nature program is a good fit for her family as she is an biologist and educator. “[I’m] glad to see this program coming to fruition in the Tri-Cities,� she wrote in an email to The TriCity News last month. The two-hour sessions are capped at 10 children each and run five days a week in the mornings and afternoons. To sign up, visit the city’s
recreation website at experienceit.ca (barcode #37621) or email wildchildoutdoorlearning@gmail.com to learn more. Meanwhile, the city of Coquitlam also has a nature play and learn program starting next month, at Mundy Park for kids ages three to five years, Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Visit signmeup.coquitlam.ca (barcode #651739). And the city of Port Moody has Preschool Explorers (barcode #76843) and The Wonder of Nature (#77004) at the rec complex, Thursday and Friday mornings. Go to portmoody.ca to sign up.
Two shoreline cleanups will take place in the Tri-Cities over the next two weekends, one of them a brand-new event and the other a long-running one. Saturday, a fledgling organization will be holding the Coquitlam River Shoreline Cleanup in Port Coquitlam. It’s being put on by the Plastic Battle, which was founded this year by two 11-year-old Maple Ridge students, Danika Konishi and Aiden Royer, and their parents. It is being done in partnership with the Watershed Watch Society and local businesses and will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We would like to clean up the river, document what we find and educate the families that attend about full-cycle waste management and the importance of our local waterways,� said the organization’s call to action for the cleanup. More information about the group is available at plasticbattle.ca or by emailing info@plasticbattle.ca or calling 778-980-5115. Those wanting to help clean up the shoreline are asked to meet at the park entrance at Shaughnessy Street and Laurier Avenue, near the bike skills park. One week later, on Aug. 24, Port Moody Ecological Society will hold its annual shoreline cleanup at the east end of Burrard Inlet from 9 to 11 a.m. The PoMo cleanup is a drop-in event but anyone wanting to participate is asked to register at shorelinecleanup.ca and bring three shopping bags — one each for garbage, recycling and cigarette butts. Organizers also suggest wearing gloves and boots, although they have a limited supply available. The event will start at the hatchery, which is in Shoreline Park at the north end of the Port Moody recreation complex parking lot. For more information, go to www.shorelinecleanup.ca/cleanups/ymjlq.

Leave the car keys at home Sunday because you won’t be needing them at Port Moody’s Car-Free Day. For the third consecutive year, St. Johns Street will be closed between Douglas and Moody streets from noon to 7 p.m. Instead of traffic, the pavement will be plugged with more than 130 booths featuring local businesses, artisans and nonprofit groups, along with food from local restaurants as well as food trucks. Entertainers include Clavinova Nights, Kim Gray, 4 Quarter and Trilojay as well as Music with Marnie for the kids. There will also be entertainers roving the street, along with mascots. Activities include rock climbing, mini golf, a ninja obstacle course, a mini train and bicycle skill zone. There will also be a family-friendly beer garden at the Queens Street plaza. The city’s free event shuttle will be running, beginning at 11:45 a.m., along a 30-minute loop that begins at Knowle Street, in front of the recreation complex, to Rocky Point Park. The last bus departs the park at about 7 p.m. St. Johns Street will be closed from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. ELAINE FLEURY/TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

PORT MOODY COUNCIL
‘Gamesmanship’ charge over meeting Councillors at odds over planning for Moody Centre future MaRIO BaRTeL mbartel@tricitynews.com
A veteran Port Moody councillor is accusing the city’s acting mayor of “gamesmanship” after a meeting involving councillors and city staff scheduled for last Tuesday was abruptly cancelled, then rescheduled for Sept. 10. But Coun. Hunter Madsen, who’s filling in while Mayor
Rob Vagramov is on leave to address a sexual assault charge, said he pulled the plug on the meeting to discuss future transit-oriented development in Moody Centre when its format was changed from an open, informal workshop to a closed session. Coun. Diana Dilworth said the meeting’s cancellation sends a bad message to a consortium of developers and property owners in Moody Centre that has been working with city staff for 18 months to devise a plan for the area that surrounds the Moody Centre SkyTrain station.
“It’s difficult to get eight property owners together,” she said of the group that is comprised of representatives from Anthem Properties, Woodbridge Properties, Beedie Living and PCI Developments, along with three landowners. “This is an opportunity to put their vision to the public.” But Madsen, whose effort to introduce his own idea to develop the neighbourhood as a high-tech and education hub was deferred by council July 16 and defeated one week later, said it’s exactly the public that would have
been kept in the dark had the closed meeting proceeded. He said before council can provide specific direction to city staff, it needs a better idea of Moody Centre’s long-term housing needs. “I can’t imagine how we could competently appraise the consortium concept without knowing the city’s actual housing targets,” Madsen said, adding the meeting’s “switch of focus and format raised concerns.” Tim Savoie, Port Moody’s city manager, said the terms of the meeting were revised when the city’s corporate
officer, Dorothy Shermer, determined its scope met the requirements for a closed session. Those can include any discussions about “the acquisition, disposition or expropriation of land or improvements,” or discussions and negotiations “respecting the proposed provision of a municipal service.” Dilworth said Madsen’s “urgent” call July 16 to curb development in Moody Centre to concentrate instead on creating high-tech and education jobs was also premature. “Port Moody is not ready to host a high-tech hub yet,”
she said. “We need to put our own house in order before we proceed with that.” Dilworth said the consortium’s plan could have components that preclude Madsen’s high-tech vision. Madsen said he looks forward to learning more about the consortium plan — after council has had an opportunity to talk about how the city can realize its four-year strategic plan. “We respect that group and are eager to sit down again soon,” he said. “The two sides have many months of collaborative dialogue ahead.”

Cooperation, collaboration can reduce number of bear deaths
Last Week t
The solution starts with how humans handle food & waste THE TRI-CITY NEWS newsroom@tricitynews.com
T
he summer of 2019 isn’t shaping up to be the worst season for bear deaths in the Tri-Cities but it’s getting close, thanks to the high-profile deaths of a half dozen bruins in Coquitlam and Port Moody in recent weeks. This year, because of social and traditional media, we know more about these tragic, and possibly needless, deaths. And while 15 bears were euthanized in the TriCities in 2016, a large number to be sure, we are disturbed that at least six bears have been destroyed this summer
for doing nothing more than what nature intended for their survival. That’s too bad because, except for a few notable exceptions — garbage left unsecured at businesses in Coquitlam City Centre, campers along the Coquitlam River with food and waste carts set out too early in Mundy Park and Chineside areas — residents have been doing a good job of keeping control of attractants. Indeed, the city of Coquitlam reports that fines and warnings are down this year because fewer people are setting their green carts out early and changes to garbage set-out times have ensured that these food-laden bins are accessible to bears for shorter periods. But that’s where the good news ends. For most people, conser-
vation officers included, it’s terrible that bears have been destroyed for becoming habituated to neighbourhoods where food is accessible. In one case, it was a sow with two cubs that was euthanized and, according to recent reports, this situation that could have been prevented if people who saw the bears earlier in the year had reported their concerns. At that time, before the bears started hanging out near Spani Pool in Mundy Park, they could have been candidates for relocation. In another case, two cubs were left orphaned when the mother bear was euthanized, with a neighbourhood in Port Moody in shock to see officers armed with tranquilizer guns on their streets. It’s because these bears are making their home in urban neighbourhoods that they are
becoming a cause for concern. There has been an outcry now about the officers’ actions but imagine if a child playing outside their home was hurt by a bear — the criticism would be that authorities didn’t act quickly enough. In the meantime, there are many suggestions for solutions and the Karelian dog bear chasing method — certainly the most intriguing — is possibly the most ineffective for an urban area. What we need are neighbourhood watches made up of residents, including strata owners and businesses, especially restaurateurs, and farmers who will work together to get rid of attractants, and report to authorities those who don’t. It’s through collaboration, cooperation and vigilance that the number of bear deaths in the Tri-Cities can be reduced.

SD43 TRIP TO CHINA
BEARS IN THE TRI-CITIES
‘Pandering’ to Chinese $
Blame developers & cities for bear deaths
The Editor, Re. “Trip to China just business: SD43” (The Tri-City News, July 18). Letter writers to The TriCity News (myself included) are only knocking their heads against a brick wall each time they wish to publish criticisms of School District 43’s “business” relationship with China. Nothing is going to change unless, maybe, there’s a Tiananmen-like repeat in Hong Kong, which would press the otherwise naïve mandarinate on Poirier Street. The bureaucracy at SD43 — not unlike like the Communist Party of China — is an institution and all institutions want to enlarge themselves and
then reward their members. That’s why our school trustees are the highest paid in B.C. They have paid themselves off for the hard work of their annual all-expense-paid excursions to China. While SD43 panders to Chinese money, it is not the only educational institution in B.C. to do so. SD43 is just mimicking its so-called betters, especially UBC, which is most egregious in this respect. UBC is supposed to be a “public” first-tier research university but it has built and staffed its own college to teach overseas students whose English is not good enough for first year. So one reason UBC Vantage College exists is be-
cause the university has more than 4,000 mainland Chinese students (as of 2016) — about a third of its overseas contingent — all of whom can afford the tuition fees and residence costs, and they come in reliable numbers. Even ivory towers in B.C. aren’t immune to the pull of the “cash nexus” that is so familiar to SD43. In other words, there’s an exchange going on but it’s not very cultural. Joerge Dyrkton, Anmore
MORE BAD PUBLICITY The Editor, It appears the chair of the School District 43 board of education was intent on not missing her usual China trip.
She forgot to inform the press that there actually were two trips booked for China and only one was cancelled. There has never been a time, until recent years, where the Coquitlam school trustees received so much bad publicity: • B.C.’s highest paid trustees; • free annual China trips; • not available for questions; • and relying on funding from the Chinese government to run SD43. The scariest fact is the reliance on the relationship with China to maintain a school district. Dave Ginter, President, CUPE Local 561
The Editor, Re. “3 people arrested, 3 bears are killed” and “Bear that made itself at home is caught, destroyed” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 1). We hear about how the conservation officers have to deal with the bear problem and, honestly, I feel sorry for them. We hear that the problem is because we don’t keep our garbage contained properly. We hear that we don’t clean our barbecues. What we don’t hear enough is the fact that the cities are allowing developers to destroy bears’ habitat with no consequences to the developers or the cities that allow it to happen.
Millions of dollars are being made by a lot of people who are destroying the natural habitat of so many animals and not taking responsibility for what is being done. Not just bears but deer, cougars, skunks, raccoons, birds, insects — the list is endless. When are cities and developers going to take responsibility for what they are doing to the environment and the animals? I believe the dollar came before the environment and it’s time that cities get together to fix it. Don’t pass the buck, don’t put conservation officers in the position that they are in.

• Previous detailed route decisions, including conditions imposed by the Board, will stand if no statement of opposition is filed in relation to them within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. Accordingly, no action on the part of a landowner is required to ensure that Trans Mountain continues to be bound by the conditions in the original detailed route decisions.
AND IN THE MATTER OF an application by Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, on behalf of Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P., (“Trans Mountain”), respecting the determination and approval of the detailed route for the construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, approximately 1179.9 kilometres in length, commencing at Trans Mountain’s Terminal located in Sherwood Park, Alberta to Westridge Marine Terminal located in Burnaby, British Columbia as shown on the adjacent Route Map. If you anticipate that your lands may be adversely affected by the proposed detailed route of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, you may oppose the proposed detailed route by filing a written statement of opposition with the National Energy Board (Board) within thirty (30) days of the publication of this notice. The written statement of opposition must set out the nature of your interest in the proposed detailed route and the grounds for your opposition to that route. In light of the previous detailed route processes that were conducted for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project in 2017 and 2018, the Board will only accept statements of opposition that raise concerns regarding a material change in circumstances from the original detailed route processes. A copy of any written statement of opposition to this detailed route must be sent to the following addresses: National Energy Board Suite 210, 517 Tenth Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta T2R 0A8 Attention: Sheri Young, Secretary of the Board Phone: 403-292-4800 Toll Free Fax: 1-877-288-8803 Email: TMX.ProcessHelp@neb-one.gc.ca Website: www.neb-one.gc.ca And to: Trans Mountain Expansion Project Suite 2700, 300 5th Ave SW, Calgary Alberta T2P 5J2, Attention: Alain Parisé, Director, Land Fax: 403-514-6401 Email: TMEP_Land@transmountain.com
• If a written statement of opposition is filed with the Board within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice, the statement relates to a previous detailed route decision, and the statement raises concerns regarding a material change in circumstances from the original detailed route process, the Board will conduct a review of the previous detailed route decision. • For detailed route hearings that were in progress on August 30, 2018 and no decision was issued, landowners and Indigenous communities need to register their continued objection by filing a statement of opposition within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. The Board will then continue the hearing and may add new process steps, as necessary, to address any valid concerns with respect to changed circumstances. • Landowners and Indigenous communities that did not file a statement of opposition in the previous detailed route process, whose statement of opposition was rejected or that withdrew their statement of opposition prior to a detailed route hearing, may file a new statement of opposition within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. If the statement of opposition raises a material change in circumstances, the Board will hold a hearing to consider those concerns, in relation to any section or part of the pipeline affected by the concerns disclosed in the written statement. The Board is not required to give any notice, hold any hearing or take any other action with respect to any written statement of opposition filed with the Board and may at any time disregard any such written statement if the person who filed the statement files a notice of withdrawal, or if it appears to the Board that the statement is frivolous, vexatious or is not made in good faith. If the Board determines it appropriate to hold a
public hearing, the Board will fix a suitable time and place for the hearing and will publish a notice of the hearing in at least one issue of a publication in general circulation within the area in which the lands acquired or proposed to be acquired are situated. The Board will also send a notice of the public hearing to each person who has filed a written statement of opposition with the Board. The public hearing will be conducted within the area in which the lands to which the statement relates are situated. The Board, or a person authorized by the Board, may make such inspection of the lands acquired or proposed to be acquired, or affected by, construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, as deemed necessary by the Board. If the Board determines a public hearing is required, the Board will permit each person who filed a written statement of opposition that met the requirements to make representations and may allow any other interested person to make representations before it as the Board deems proper. The Board will take into account all written statements of opposition and all representations made at the public hearing in determining the best possible route of the pipeline, and the most appropriate methods and timing of construction for the Trans Mountain Expansion. The Board may impose in any approval, such terms and conditions as it considers proper. Where the Board has held a public hearing in respect of any section or part of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, and has approved or refused to approve the plan, profile and book of reference respecting that section or part, it will forward a copy of its decision and reasons to the Minister and each person who made representations to the Board at the public hearing. The Board may fix such amount as it deems reasonable in respect of the actual costs reasonably incurred by any person who makes representations to the Board at such a public hearing, and the amount so fixed will be paid forthwith to the person by Trans Mountain.

TRI-CITY PEOPLE
Hot times and a career possibility Local teens take part in Camp Ignite at Port Moody fire hall STEfan Labbé slabbe@tricitynews.com
The first time Port Moody’s Kelsey Eckert leaned into a rappel at the edge of the fire tower, she panicked. “It was a bit nerve-wracking,” she told The Tri-City News. “It took me a few minutes. You have to make sure you have control over your mind before you have control over your hands and the rest of your body.” Then, like the rest of the 20 high school girls at the fire camp, she did it again. Eckert is one of three Tri-City teens — the others are Port Coquitlam’s Abbie Robinson and Coquitlam’s Simran Chima — who took part in a four-day program put on by female firefighters from across the Lower Mainland. Suited up in full turnout gear, the girls enter smokefilled buildings to rescue dummies, radioed in coordinates under the supervision of North Shore Search and Rescue and ripped the roof and doors off cars with the Jaws of Life. “It’s about empowering these young girls and letting them know they’re not alone,” said Jennifer Dawkins, an acting lieutenant with Vancouver Fire and Rescue. “They leave here with a sense of strength that they didn’t have when they arrived.” A Port Moody resident, Dawkins has helped run Camp Ignite since it started nine years ago under the slogan “You can’t be what you can’t see.” Dawkins says while today, only 4% of firefighters across British Columbia are women, things have slowly gotten bet-
ter for female firefighters over her 19-year career. Two participants from the camp have gone on to become career firefighters while another half dozen work as on-call volunteers. Others have gone into the trades or work as paramedics and medical dispatchers. Eckert has her sights set on becoming a career firefighter. But like many of the girls at this year’s camp, she’s also an athlete and hopes to get a soccer scholarship when she finishes high school so she can study psychology. “Those are the two things I love: helping people and supporting and learning about mental health,” she said. The girls got a big taste of what being in a fire means over the weekend. In one exercise, they suited up with masks and air tanks before sitting next to a burning building for 20 minutes. Saturday, the girls spent the night at SFU, where they learned to defend themselves using pressure points, body flips and screaming loud noises. The woman teaching martial arts also led them through steps to handle stress and trauma — tips, said Eckert, that are already helpful for a stressed-out teenager. “In everyday life you can feel helpless in simple situations. But people sitting in a burning building, watching outside, the ache and the pain in their stomach, thinking this is the worst day of my life — I just want to help those people.” That life is still some time away, and while her family is in her corner, even her dad reminds her it’s going to be tough. Eckert’s answer to any naysayers: “Firefighting is a man’s world? You say I can’t do this? Watch me.”

rom the edge of Rocky Point pier, the war canoes cut a line towards the head of the inlet, frothing wakes trailing behind the painted orange and resintreated hulls. From the shore, Breanna Hall watched. “Looks like fun,” she said as the pullers (paddlers) from Scolitz and Skwah First Nations jockeyed for the win. Last Saturday, Fish Fest came back to Port Moody, and with it young Indigenous paddlers gathered at Rocky Point Park to race canoes in what is believed to be the first event of its kind in more than 100 years, according to Kwikwetlem First Nation organizer Stephen Armstrong. The event brought together the Sto:lo nations of Scolitz and Skwah, together with the Tsleil-Waututh and Kwikwetlem nations, whose territories overlap around Burrard Inlet. Unlike races held on reserve, Armstrong organized the event to be inclusive so that Indigenous and non-Indigenous people could watch together. Armstrong, who lives off reserve in Metro Vancouver, has a clear view of the continued discrimination against Indigenous youth and what events like Fish Fest can do to help. “That ‘dirty Indian’ persona is still there,” he said. “The only way to fight it is to empower our youth as our next generation of leaders so that they portray that self confidence.” That, says Armstrong, is where canoe pulling comes in. But while elders from many nations — including Kwikwetlem Chief Ed Hall — witnessed the event, no one from the local First Nation dipped a paddle in the water Saturday. Armstrong says canoe pulling has fallen off among the Kwikwetlem youth. For the Scolitz, up valley and on the water, you can see how canoe pulling has become an all-encompassing way of life. Chrystal McCallum Williams and her husband, Chief Sunny Williams, have brought together young Indigenous canoe pullers through the Golden Eagles Canoe Club (Ts’esqel), a team that has opened its arms to

other nations in the Agassiz area. “They’re not out there playing with video games, not sitting in front of a TV,” said Kathy James, whose two granddaughters, Tashuana and Hasana, competed in the Port Moody race. “These kids are dedicated to seven days a
week of training, four hours a day on the water. No alcohol, no drugs.” Sitting under the gazebo at the end of Rocky Point pier, James reminisced about how much has changed in the TriCities since she grew up in Burquitlam in the 1960s and ’70s.
Daughter of a Caucasian mother and O’Chiese father from Rocky Mountain House, Alta., James attended Centennial secondary school at a time when she was afraid to tell her first boyfriend about her Indigenous side. “Being in the city where you can’t be native, it makes it really hard. It was a suppressed way of life,” she told The Tri-City News, stressing that her father always feared his daughter would be whisked off to a residential school. Every summer, her family would travel back to Alberta to reconnect with their roots through powwows. “That’s how we had to live. We didn’t have a choice,” she said. “ It was like living a lie.” James now lives near
Agassiz, where she celebrates her Indigenous side and says canoe pulling has taken over the role powwows once played, connecting young people to their past. Seeing that play out on the waters around Port Moody — a place where she remembers “nothing native” as a kid — “really warms the heart.” At the end of the race, the war canoes get hoisted out of the water, someone roasts a salmon on a barbecue and a sea-life-inspired puppet show plays out on the grass. Under a pop-up pavilion, organizers prepare prize money for the winners as a Venezuelan punk rock band blasts an ode to family members left behind. “I was never good at doing cultural things on reserve,” said
Armstrong, adding he’s always been better at bridging groups than working inside of them. Armstrong pointed to seven-year-old Jack Williams, son of the Scowlitz chief, who holds the honorary title of Kwikwetlem as a middle name. “Our ancestors spread out to the valley, descendants of [the original] Kwikwetlem William. We’re all of Kwikwetlem,” he said. “If we can get more canoe races going here, have more canoe families join us — urban indigenous people, on-reserve indigenous people — we can make this grow. “The spirit is reawakening. We never lose our culture. It goes to sleep. And this is just one of the ways that it is starting to reawaken.”

or the first part of August each year, Bruce and Elaine Kowallison load up their 1947 Dodge half-tonne pick-up truck and 1973 Boler trailer and hit the road. It’s the time of year the Port Coquitlam couple love the most: Cruising in their collector vehicles, stopping at show ’n’ shines and meeting fellow gear heads from around North America. They start in Coombs, on Vancouver Island, for the annual Blast from the Past before motoring to Parksville for the Van Isle Shriners show. Next up is the Comox Nautical Days Vintage Car Show, then Sechelt for the Coasters Car Club Sleepy Hollow Rod Run. But their fifth — and favourite — display happens this weekend when the
Bruce and Elaine Kowallison of Port Coquitlam, with their 1947 Dodge half-tonne pickup truck, will be in Saturday night’s cruise around the city as well as in the 15th annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show on Sunday. JANIS CLEUGH/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Kowallisons drive the streets of their hometown. As they have for the past five years, they’ll be kicking off Sunday’s Downtown PoCo Car Show with the car cruise the night before. As the show’s car cruise and vendor co-ordinator,
Bruce Kowallison looks forward to seeing what polished wheels will be rolling in Saturday night’s 90-minute procession. And he’s eager to find out how many more spectators it will draw to downtown PoCo. “Every year, it gets bigger,”
he said. “People bring out their lawn chairs and kids. It’s great family entertainment.” More than 100 custom and classic vehicles — including the Blues Brothers’ replica car — are in the sixth annual parade, which winds from Leigh
touches,” he said, pointing to the flames on his Dodge pickup. Since he bought it from a friend in 1983, the truck has travelled some distance: Vancouver Island, Washington State and Alberta. The couple replaced the Boler trailer in 2010 and, the next year, they added a 1951 Chevrolet panel truck to their collection. “I love driving and I love cruising,” Bruce Kowallison said, noting his retirement will be spent behind the steering wheel. As for Sunday’s Downtown PoCo Car Show, organized by the PoCo Events Society, the eight-year committee member said it gets better with each round. “I love to be involved in it and, judging by the crowd, it’s a great place to check what’s out there and talk to the owners.” • The sixth annual Fremont Self Storage PoCo Car Cruise on Saturday starts at 6 p.m. from Leigh Square (visit pococarshow.ca for the cruise map). And the 15th annual Metro Ford Downtown PoCo Car Show runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

BOOK OF THE WEEK n Sadie by Courtney Summers n Reviewed by Sadie Henschel, Port Moody Public Library
Summer is here and the sun is shining (sometimes). It’s time for lazy days at the beach and fun road trips. But the road trip Sadie Hunter is on is anything but fun — she’s hunting a killer. Eight months ago, Sadie’s 13-year-old sister, Mattie, was found murdered near their home in Cold Creek, Colo. Mattie meant everything to 19-year-old Sadie, especially after their mom abandoned them and Sadie officially took over raising her. Neither knows who their father is and the closest they have to family is their neighbour and landlord, May Beth Foster, an older woman who has taken on the role of surrogate grandmother. After Mattie’s murder, a devastated but determined Sadie buys a cheap car, dyes her hair and runs away, following the meagre clues towards her sister’s killer, hoping to find justice for Mattie — and revenge. One day, West McCray, a New York producer and radio personality, receives a call from Foster, who wants him to investigate Sadie’s disappearance. Her car was abandoned outside Farfield with no clues as to where she’d gone. West is hesitant but he begins to follow Sadie’s trail, broadcasting the investigation on his new podcast, The Girls. What West discovers is more disturbing than either expected. Courtney Summers skillfully alternates between Sadie’s journey and the transcripts of The Girls as both West and Sadie track Mattie’s killer. The author creates a believable story and characters with so much depth that I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn’t a true story.

Ooh, it’s blueberry time at markets I t’s blueberry season! How many can you eat in one sitting? I can easily polish off a pint at the market and more when I get home. I could actually just fill this column with recipes. Instead, I will tell you all about these little blue gems and then give you lots of ways to use them. Did you know that in 2015, British Columbia was the largest Canadian producer of cultivated blueberries, yielding 70,000 tonnes, and the world’s largest producer of blueberries by region? This isn’t really surprising if you drive anywhere around here. What is surprising is the variation in taste among all the different producers. Soil type and location factor into the flavour in a big way. Take a walk around the market and sample the berries from each farmer. Ask them how the berries are grown. Some spray to keep pests and diseases away, some don’t. Some are organic and biodynamic, some aren’t. Try them all season, too. There are many different varieties, each one with a unique taste. In case you are wondering, blueberries are native to North America. B.C. is home to cultivated, or highbush, berries while Atlantic Canada is the major producer of wild, or lowbush, berries. Wild blueberries are not planted but are managed through pruning or burning. Cultivated berries require

acidic soil, lots of water and bees. Blueberries don’t self-pollinate, which is why you will see clusters of hives out in the fields. It’s a great example of complimentary farming practices, the payoff being hundreds of pounds of blueberries — and blueberry honey.
Nutritionally, blueberries are a significant source of vitamins C and K, as well as magnanese, an important mineral for protecting bone density that may a play a role in reducing inflammation and regulating blood sugar, too. So how best to get those little blue powerhouses into
(source: suburban simplicity) 1 8-oz. sheet frozen puff pastry thawed 1 large egg beaten 1 tbsp turbinado sugar (can substitute granulated sugar) 4 oz. cream cheese room temperature 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 tsp grated lemon zest 3 tbsp powdered sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla 2 cups blueberries Heat oven to 375 F. On a parchment-lined baking sheet or Silpat mat, unfold the sheet of pastry and smooth it out. Using the tip of a knife, score a 1-inch border around the pastry without cutting all the way through the dough. Brush just the border with beaten egg and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until golden and puffed, 15 to 20 minutes. Re-score the border of the baked pastry with your knife without cutting all the way through. Gently press the centre of the pastry sheet down to flatten it. Let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. While pastry bakes, beat the cream cheese, cream, lemon zest 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the centre of the pastry. Place blueberries over the filling and dust with the remaining tablespoon of powdered sugar. Serve immediately. • Note: To make ahead, prepare the puff pastry and cream cheese, and keep them separate until ready to serve. your diet — aside from eating them by the handful? Actually throwing a handful into a spinach salad is super easy and yummy, especially if you are adding feta cheese and some slivered almonds. How about grilled chicken
or pork topped with a fresh blueberry salsa? Season the meat ahead of time with some John Spice and let it sit while you prepare the salsa. Finely dice 2 tbsp of red onions or shallots, 2 tbsp yellow peppers and 1 tbsp cilantro. Place in
a small bowl and add 2 cups blueberries. Smash them up and stir in 2 to 3 tbsp of Aji chunky chili sauce (mild or medium) and let rest. Grill the meat and spoon the salsa over top. It’s fast and delicious. Another savoury blueberry treat is flatbread. Try spreading a naan with some Golden Ears Quark cheese, onions that have been caramelized with pear vinegar and dried thyme from the Cawston Farmer, and blueberries. Bake in a hot oven for 7 to 8 minutes, then sprinkle with arugula micro greens. As for sweet uses, we all know about adding blueberries to muffin batter, pancakes and other quickbreads, but did you know you can make a fast, fresh jam, too? Simply mash a cup of blueberries, add a bit of sugar if you like, and 1 tbsp of chia seeds. The chia seeds will “set” the jam. I like to add a bit of vanilla sometimes, too. Delicious. Another idea: Try using blueberries instead of raisins in a butter tart — my mom used to do that — and top the tart with a dollop of Golden Ears Cheesecrafters Quark. I won third place in the blueberry dessert competition at market with this recipe. However you do it, make sure you get your fill of fresh blueberries this summer.

Pipers, drummers gird for Glasgow SFU, Hilders get set for weekend contests at Glasgow Green JANIs ClEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com
If the Tri-Cities seemed a little quieter this week, it’s likely because 11 pipers and drummers left the region. Nine are with the Grade 1 SFU Pipe Band (SFUPB), a 44-member group that’s now in Scotland for the annual World Pipe Band Championships at Glasgow Green that starts tomorrow (Friday). Tri-City musicians Mackenzie Webster, Richard Gillies, Danielle Millar, Lauren Tietze, Alistair Lee, Allison Anderson, Andrew Lee, Reid Maxwell and Stephen Paynter will face one other Canadian band — the 78th Fraser Highlanders — plus 13 ensembles from Britain, Ireland and New Zealand for the highly anticipated Grade 1 events. Band manager Robert MacNeil, a Coquitlam resident, said SFUPB “has been working quite hard this year” and he’s confident the players are on solid ground as they head into the competitions. Last year and in 2017, SFUPB placed fifth overall; it last won the worlds in 2009, its sixth world title.
Port Coquitlam pipers David and Shaunna Hilder joined the Grade 1 ScottishPower Piper Band after Dowco Triumph Street Pipe Band ceased competitive operations last September. PhOTO SUBMiTTed The Tri-City contingent in the SFU pipe bands (left to right): Mackenzie Webster, Richard Gillies, Danielle Millar, Lauren Tietze, Alistair Lee, Allison Anderson (bass drum), Andrew Lee, pipe major/instructor of RMM and Grade 1 band member, Reid Maxwell, Grade 1 band lead drummer, and Stephen Paynter (snare drummer). Marianne Meadahl/SFU
Still, the new format for Grade 1 bands this year will be interesting, MacNeil said, with the championships spread over two days. Because there are fewer Grade 1 bands playing, the 15 groups perform both of their MSRs (March, Strathsprey and a Reel) and medleys on different days. That means all Grade 1 bands have two separate MSRs and medleys, and are able to choose which one they play on Friday and then must play the alternate set on Saturday.
“The four performances all factor into the overall results,” MacNeil said. While that structure may create some topsy-turvy scores, “I think everybody realizes it’s serious business over there but there’s also social enjoyment,” he said. “We play well but, ultimately, the decision is in the hands of 16 judges.” Last year’s competition was won by Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band of Northern Ireland. More than 30,000 people attended the
events to see the Grade 1 to Novice Juvenile B musicians and dancers, of whom 40% were under the age of 25.
dowCo dEMIsE
Two months after the Dowco Triumph Street Pipe Band announced it would stop competing due to the end of its 10-year sponsorship by the Dowco Group of Companies, its Port Coquitlam leaders joined another Grade 1 ensemble — 7,000 km away. Dowco pipe-major David Hilder and his wife, Shaunna Hilder, signed up last November to play with the Glasgow-based ScottishPower Pipe Band, a group that took third place at the worlds at Glasgow Green in 2013 and
second spot in 2012 — just ahead of the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band. The 26-year PoCo residents said they made the switch after talking with ScottishPower’s Pipe-Major Chris Armstrong. “Chris is a superb musicians and composer [and he] has a leadership style that very much aligns with our principles,” David Hilder wrote to The Tri-City News in an email from Scotland last week. Yesterday (Wednesday), ScottishPower played at the pre-world championships concert at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. The show at the famed venue follows four championships this season, which saw wins in piping at the British championships
and the drumming sash at the Scottish championships; ScottishPower also placed second overall twice and fourth overall twice as a band. “The band is going very well and we are looking forward to a great worlds,” David Hilder wrote. The demise of the Triumph Street band means less local competition and only five active Grade 1 bands in North America: SFU; 78th Fraser Highlanders; 78th Highlanders (Halifax Citadel); Toronto Police; and City of Dunedin, Florida. According to its website, Dowco had success in the 1970s and ’80s but, by the late ’80s, it slipped by a few grades. It returned to a Grade 1 level in 2007 after David Hilder and some of SFU’s Grade 2 Robert Malcolm Memorial band members joined Dowco and won the North American Championships. But, unlike SFU, Dowco never cracked the Top 3 at the worlds in Glasgow. Although its sponsorship from the Canadian structural steel consulting organization over, Dowco players are continuing in other Grade 1 bands in Canada and Scotland, Shaunna Hilder said, and some have taken leadership posts in lower grades as well. “We are proud of all the Dowco players and their accomplishments,” she said.

SD43 student, stepmom pair up for another publication A Grade 7 student at Port Coquitlam’s Minnekhada middle school will launch her second children’s book cowritten with her stepmom. Coquitlam’s Madison Reaveley, 12, and author Megan Williams (Our Interrupted Fairy Tale) will be at Chapters in Pinetree Village (2991 Lougheed Hwy., Coquitlam) Aug. 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to sign copies of I Don’t Want To! The book is a sequel to their inaugural publication Don’t Call The Office. Williams said they started writing I Don’t Want To! about
two years ago, featuring the same characters as in their first work and a similar tale of living with blended families. They based the narrative on Reaveley, who divides her time between her mom and stepdad in Coquitlam and her dad and Williams in West Vancouver. “It’s so cool that I’m writing books with my stepmom,” Reaveley said. Williams said she’s had adult readers contact her about the first book, thanking her for providing a story that normalizes blended families. For the latest fictional adventure, protagonist Cameron Parker and her friends — Sadie, Kayla, Beckett and
Jeremy — learn to face their fears when they go to camp together (Reaveley used the names of her real-life buddies from softball and school, and from her folks’ friends, but changed her own name). Reaveley and Williams hired illustrator Cathryn John again to draw the images and they’ll be making the book available through amazon. ca, Coquitlam’s Chapters and meganwilliams.ca. Already, Reaveley is thinking about the plot for their next book. “As Madison gets older, we’d like the characters to grow along with her as she goes to middle school — and maybe even have a high school version,” Williams said.

For their Coquitlam shows, titled Rock What You Got, the Chips will highlight their musical talents (Lawson has been in bands most of his life while Casillan is a proficient guitar player) and there’ll more sketches with singing. As well, they’ve choreographed a new “slow and sexy” dance that they’ll debut in Coquitlam next Friday night. “The moves come straight from my wife’s aerobic tapes and music videos,” Danylo said with a laugh. Afterwards, they’ll have a month off from The Comic Strippers before returning to the tour, which resumes Sept. 27 in Salmon Arm. Next summer, they’re making their way to the east coast. “I love the small towns,” Danylo said. “There’s nothing like that community feeling… It’s exciting to see all these interesting things about our country.” For tickets to The Comic Strippers Aug. 23 and 24, call the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Is there a Canadian city The Comic Strippers haven’t performed in? “Not many,” said Vancouver resident and the company founder Roman Danylo as the award-winning improv troupe prepares for its return to Coquitlam next week. Its travel schedule is jammed again this year. And by the time the “Chips” — as their characters are called — get to the Evergreen Cultural Centre Aug. 23 and 24, the actors will already have had 31 gigs (many sold out) under their belts, with 11 more lined up for this fall, from Ottawa to Victoria. Conceived in 2011, their male stripper parody act was the brainchild of Danylo’s wife. Then, fellow Vancouver TheatreSports League (VTL) member Chris Casillan de-
buted it with Danylo, “and, right from Day 1, I knew there was something special about this.” They soon added TVL’s Ken Lawson, Pearce Visser and David Milchard plus Coquitlam’s Michael Teigen and his partner, Denise Jones to fill out the cast. “We thought we would check in every six months to see how it was going,” Danylo said, “but then we passed the five-year mark. Now, we’re looking at 10 years coming up. There’s a chance we could be doing this for 10 more years.” Today, The Comic Strippers have a solid fan base — including more than 23,000 followers on Facebook — with many repeat customers at their productions, which are for audience members ages 19 years and older. They consider the Evergreen Cultural Centre to be their theatre home, the place where all cast members are invited to try out new material before they head back on the road.

Soo a semifinalist in RAD Genée contest Int’l competition in Toronto includes PoCo dancer janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com
A Port Coquitlam ballet dancer will be flying to Toronto next week for a prestigious international competition. Kyra Soo, a student of the Goh Ballet Academy in Vancouver, automatically qualified as a semi-finalist in the Genée International Ballet Competition because of her high exam marks with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD); the British-based organization hosts the Toronto contest Aug. 20 to 29. The 18-year-old, who graduated from Riverside secondary school in June, will be up against 61 teen ballet dancers from around the world — all working within the RAD syllabus — hoping to clinch the gold medal. Other B.C. competitors include fellow Goh student Irene Ta; Emma Martino of the Dance Conservatory, Vancouver; and Sophie Higgins of the Dance Conservatory, West Vancouver. The latter was a finalist in the 2018 Genée contest in Hong Kong. Soo said she’s nervous about the competition and dancing in front of the judg-
ing panel that includes Karen Kain, the artistic director of The National Ballet of Canada. So far this year, Soo has fared well at events, winning a bronze medal at the international dance festival Tanzolymp in Berlin (classical dance solo/age 3 category female) as well as earning a special mention at the World Ballet Competition in Orlando, Fla. (professional category, ages 17-24). For the Genée, Soo will perform a classical piece from La Bayadere (third shade variation) plus a short routine designed by her teacher. And if she advances to the finals Aug. 29 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, she will be required to learn a worldpremiere dance from ItalianCanadian dancer and choreographer Gioconda Barbuto. “It’ll be the first time I’ll be performing the variation,” she told The Tri-CIty News last week. “I’ve been taking private lessons every day this summer to get ready.” Started in 1931, the Genée competition is named after RAD’s first president Dame Adeline Genée. It is the RAD’s signature event and has been presented outside of London, England, since 2002. As for Soo’s future in ballet, she has another year in Goh’s full-day youth program before she begins auditioning for professional companies. Her aim is to dance in Europe.

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES
Bats wing Little Leaguers to World Series Team Canada plays its first game Friday, against Mexico MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Coquitlam used its bats to win the provincial and then Canadian Little League championships. So it was only fitting a bat sent them off to Williamsport, Penn., where they’re preparing to represent the country at the Little League World Series, which begins today (Thursday). Except this bat had wings. Coquitlam coach Robert Piasentin said the morning after his young charges defeated Quebec 6-3, powered by home runs from Matthew Shanley and Timothy Piasentin, to win the Canadian title, the team’s dorm room in Ancaster, Ont., was invaded by a tiny winged mammal. “They all panicked and locked themselves in an upstairs bedroom until I came and got them out,” Robert Piasentin said, adding their fear was quickly usurped by excitement and anticipation as the team embarked on its four-hour journey by bus to Williamsport. It has been a whirlwind three weeks for the group of 11- and 12-year-old boys

and their families. Shanley’s seven homers led them to a provincial championship July 28 in Vancouver, then the player nicknamed “Beef Dip” hit three at the national tournament while contributing a dominating pitching performance in last Saturday’s final. “Everything has happened so quickly,” Piasentin said. “The boys have had no time to really soak everything in.” That includes being introduced on the field at the
Hamilton Tiger Cats’ football game Saturday night against the BC Lions. But the boys could only stay at the game until halftime so they could pack and rest for their early morning departure to Pennsylvania. Piasentin said the adrenalin finally waned during the bus trip, and many of the players and coaches were able to steal a nap. But it fired up again as their motor coach pulled up to Lamade Stadium, where
the Little League World Series is played in front of crowds up to 40,000 people. “To say the kids’ jaws hit the floor is an understatement,” he said. The team has since settled into its dorm beyond the stadium’s right field fence, where the kids are all bunked in one great room and the coaches are in two adjoining rooms. “Getting them to sleep has been the big challenge,” Piasentin said.
Monday, the team got its first chance to familiarize themselves with the big stadium and practised at the adjoining Volunteer Stadium. Piasentin said it was an eye-popping experience for everyone. “The boys loved it,” he said. “The fields are Major League Baseball quality and nothing like we have ever played on.” Almost equally as thrilling for the boys has been pulling on their newly issued Team
Canada uniforms and gear from Easton and Adidas, Piasentin said. “These boys are now Team Canada, and they are extremely excited to have their parents see them in their Canada uniforms.” Most of those parents, as well as family and friends, arrived in Williamsport Monday and Tuesday — in time for Wednesday afternoon’s big parade of the 16 international and U.S. teams participating in the tournament. Beyond that, though, the players’ chances to see their supporters will be limited until the tournament concludes Aug. 25. They’re not even allowed access to the internet so they can focus on baseball, Piasentin said. But that doesn’t mean they’re oblivious to the excitement they’ve generated as the first team from Coquitlam to represent Canada at the Little League World Series since 1984. “They do know this will be big news back home,” Piasentin said. “They are pretty aware of the significance and understand how rare a feat this is and has been.” • Canada plays its first game of the tournament against Mexico Friday at 3 p.m. PST.

Jetsetting summer for United, Dr. Charles Best rugby player
NEW PLAYERS WANTED!
Trips included World Games in Paris, France DAN OLSON sports@tricitynews.com
You won’t find Willow Beyea lamenting the dog days of summer. The 17-year-old rugby player for United Rugby Club and Coquitlam’s Dr. Charles Best secondary school has been pursuing her passion for the sport on two continents and at three levels — provincial, national and international. Beyea, who lives in New Westminster, is on Vancouver Island this week to test her mettle at the Canadian national women’s training camp. That comes on the heels of playing for Team B.C. at the Western championships in Regina, Sask. In July, Beyea was part of the lineup with the Celtic Barbarians, a North American elite team based in Alberta, that competed at the World Games in Paris, France. Beyea said her rugby boots may be on the ground but her head is still among the clouds of her whirlwind experiences in the past month.
“I think going to Paris was a pretty big thing,” she said. “It’s made me realize that, through rugby, I can go to all these amazing places. Beyea’s journey to France with the Barbarians was an eye-opener, she said. The team finished third in the U18 tournament that is part of the international competition for young athletes in five sports, including Rugby Sevens, soccer, badminton, basketball and handball. Against the national team from Ireland, as well as three top club teams from France, Beyea said the Barbarians handled themselves quite well. “I think we put up a pretty good fight,” she said. “It was an all-around good competition.” When the team wasn’t playing, players were able to explore the city. They even visited the Notre Dame Cathedral, which was heavily damaged by a massive fire last April. Beyea said a special highlight was the World Games’ opening ceremonies, which were held on the Champ de Mars, the park in front of the Eiffel Tower. But no sooner was that adventure over when Beyea was off to the provincial team’s se-
lection camp for the Western 15s championships in Regina, where the side finished fourth overall. Then it was on to the national camp. Beyea, who has been playing rugby since she was five, said her love for the sport comes naturally. Her dad, Mike, is a club coach, and her mom, Julie, used to play and is still involved as an official.
“50TH YEAR”
Beyea said her summer of rugby has honed her focus on taking her passion as far as it can — to a university team and then, perhaps, on to the senior national side. “That would be incredible,” she said. “To play for my country, in the red-and-white jersey, and have my family and friends see me, that would be pretty great.”

MINOR LACROSSE
LAX nationals set to go Minor tournament will feature boys and girls championships MARIO BARTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com
Canadian Lacrosse Association’s minor box national championships that begin Aug. 20 in Coquitlam are embracing the future, even as the event strengthens bonds to the sport’s past. Garrett Ungaro, president of Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse, said this year’s tournament is the first to include boys and girls playing for national titles in the same event. He said it’s a significant step for advancing the girls’ game, which has been driving growth in lacrosse in recent years. “By having them as part of the boys’ tournament, it really legitimizes the female game as a true national game,” Ungaro said, adding parents are beginning to realize the opportunities that exist in
lacrosse for their daughters to get scholarships at American universities, which must have a balance between male and female athletes. Ungaro said female bantam and midget players will be able to learn from watching and cheering for their male counterparts but, most importantly, the boys will get a chance to see how good the girls are getting. He said the rising skill level of female players was recently highlighted by several scrimmages between girls and boys’ teams as they prepare for the nationals. “If you didn’t see the pony tails, you’d be hard-pressed to see the difference,” Ungaro said of the quality of play between the genders. He said that has been aided by girls who are already top athletes in other sports like soccer taking up lacrosse as cross-training as well as expro players who are now dads of daughters and are taking up positions behind the bench for girls’ teams. But if the future of lacrosse is female, its past is firmly First
Nations, and Ungaro said the tournament will be emphasizing that connection. He said representatives from the Kwikwetlem First Nation will participate in the opening ceremonies, and the tournament’s logo and awards were all designed by a local Aboriginal artist. With days until the opening faceoff, Ungaro and his committee of six organizers as well as more than 35 volunteers have finalized all the logistics to accommodate and transport 26 teams along with more than 20 officials — not an easy task given the dearth of local hotel rooms as well as the availability of motor coaches during Vancouver’s busy tourism season. But, Ungaro said, he’s confident the effort will pay off. “It’s been non-stop lacrosse for two months.” • For more information about the tournament, as well as a complete schedule of games at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, go to https:/ /2019minorboxlacrossenatio nals.ca.

Home sales across B.C. up 12.4% from last year With home sales making a significant yearover-year jump in the Lower Mainland in July, residential transactions for the whole of B.C. followed suit, according to stats released August 13 by the B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA). There were 7,930 home sales in the province last month, which is 12.4 per cent higher than July 2018, recovering around half the annual transaction losses seen one year ago. Most of the provincial increase was driven by the spike in sales in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. “B.C. home sales climbed higher for the first time in 18 months on a year-over-year basis in July,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. “Households appear to be adjusting to the tighter credit environment as the shock of the B20 stress test dissipates.” The association reported that housing demand has “trended higher since March, rising 21 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis.” With absorption increasing, active listings on the province’s MLS fell on a monthover-month in July, down three per cent from June and six per cent from April on a
seasonally adjusted basis. However, active listings were still 12.4 per cent higher than this time last year. The sales-to-active listings ratio matched that of a year ago, with a balanced market at 19.1 per cent.
AVERAGE PRICE SLIPS The average residential resale price in the province in July was $684,497, which is a slight decline of 1.6 per cent from July 2018. However, this could be a reflection of higher sales among homes at the lower-priced end of the market, rather than necessarily falling home prices. As ever, the picture varies when focusing in on different regional markets. Six of the 12 B.C. real estate boards reported a year-over-year rise in average sale prices – Vancouver Island, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kootenay, South Okanagan and Northern Lights. Most regions reported a sales-to-active-listings ratio in the 12-20 per cent balanced-market range, with Vancouver Island, Victoria, Kamloops and Powell River in seller’s market territory and only Northern Lights seeing a true buyer’s market.

In Memoriam Richard (Dick) Sisson July 27th 1927 - August 8th 1993 The blow was great the shock severe We little thought the end was near. And only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. More each day we miss you Dick. Friends may think the wound has healed. But they little know the sorrow That lies within our hearts concealed.

DUDGEON, Robert J. April 3, 1970 − August 1, 2019 Rob passed suddenly on August 1. He leaves behind his mother, Barb; his brother, Wayne; his niece, Melissa (Livio); and great−nephews, Lucca and Enzo. Rob spent his life living in PoCo. The popular high school athlete later spent his time as an avid fisherman, enjoying the BC outdoors. Though not always easy, Rob was a loyal son, committed to assisting with his mother’s care. His presence in her life will be truly missed. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice. There will be a service on Friday, August 16, at 1 pm at Trinity United Church, 2211 Prairie Avenue, Port Coquitlam.
