SAFETY ON THE WATER

Cool off safely, say lifesavers Lifesaving Society says more water training is needed for B.C. people

Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

With the continued hot weather — and in a week when a man lost his life in

Buntzen Lake — the Lifesaving Society BC and Yukon Branch is urging people to pay attention to water conditions and to know their own limits when recreating in local creeks,

streams and at the seaside.

“Obviously, the good weather brings more people onto the water and that is gong to increase the potential for drowning,” said Dale Miller,

executive director of the society, which educates the public about water safety and trains lifeguards. see 42 HAVE DIED, page 8

Rub a dub dub, PoCo’s Chris Glenn is alive and ready to race in his tub 7 months ago, he was given a year to live. Last weekend, he was racing in a bathtub Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

C

hris Glenn stiffly waddles around his Port Coquitlam yard feeling the painful aftereffects of his latest dangerous bathtub adventure.

Yes, you read right: bathtub adventure.

Glenn has been a bathtub racer for four decades and his latest suffering on the seas came in a bathtub race revival last Saturday at Kitsilano Beach.

This Saturday, he plans to be out on the water again, either at an inaugural race at Boundary Bay or along-standing event in Summerland.

And he’s going to keep on riding the waves in his tubs even though seven months ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and his daily chemotherapy tires him out.

“When they told me I have one year to live, I said, ‘Not a chance. Not a chance. I’m going to do everything I can,’” Glenn, 61, told The Tri-City News.

“That was seven months ago and I don’t feel like I’m gone in another three or four months. I feel better than I did last year. So that’s probably why I’m going to keep doing everything.”

It all began in the late 1970s when Glenn was working for

nATAShA wILLOuGhBy PhOTO

MARIO BARTEL/ThE TRI-cITy nEwS

Port Coquitlam’s Chris Glenn has been building and racing bathtubs for more than 30 years. He says he was so thrilled to be able to race again at Vancouver’s Kits Beach last weekend, he overcame the side effects of his ongoing treatment for prostate cancer to be able to skipper his little yellow bathtub.

Port Mann Plumbing. The company built a tub for an employee of one of its suppliers who was racing in the famous Nanaimo-to-Vancouver bathtub race. On race day, Glenn was in the escort boat when the tub, during a rough ride, split in tow, the pilot breaking two ribs.

“It was still drivable because the gas line was still holding the boat together,” recalls Glenn.

“So I said, ‘Get out of there, let me try it.’ I didn’t even put a life jacket on. I jumped in there with my stupid hockey jacket on, jeans and as soon as I got wet, it was even worse. So I started going and I thought, ‘This is fun’ until it split apart on

me even more.

“I’m sitting in the boat and my escort driver, they were all drinking, and they’re not even watching me now. They’re taking care of Don [the first pilot] and they’re drinking. They’re still going and I’m stopped dead in the water and I’m up to [my chest] in water sitting there trying to keep it from going under.”

Despite the challenges of his first race, he was hooked, and he was back with his own boat the next year. Although the Nanaimo-to-Vancouver race ceased in 1996, Nanaimo still put on an event that runs the same distance on the east coast of Vancouver Island. Glenn

won it in 1997 and 2000, and has raced the bathtub circuit ever since.

Thus, he was excited when the organizers of last week’s KitsFest decided to revive those earlier cross-strait memories by racing tubs around a 1.5-km loop next to Kits Beach.

“It was great. I thank the [organizers] so much. I just missed it so many years,” he says.

He was in the first heat up against another long-time tubber, Brian Stoochnow of Coquitlam, a mechanic who has built bathtub engines for Glenn in the past. The significance of the race being back at the beach affected both of them

before they even got in the boat.

“I was sick to my stomach before this race,” says Glenn. “I had to go to the can about four times. I’m thinking, ‘What’s wrong with me?’”

Stoochnow woke up the morning of the race anxious and nervous.

“I got phone calls and notes from people. There was a lot of pressure. I didn’t realize it until it came race day,” says Stoochnow, who is also 61 and has been racing since the 1980s. “But as soon as I got in my bathtub and I started it up, it was all gone.”

Glenn says he was leading on the first two laps but then a big wave struck his tub. He was kneeling and the wave drove him down on top of a wedge sitting between his legs, sending him into the agony that most men experience at one time or another.

Glenn figured he was toast.

But then Stoochnow caught him and he got mad. All his friends were watching, too, so he said to himself “I’m not done.” He hit the gas and went after his friend.

“I thought if, ‘I’m going to

flip the boat, I’m going to do it in front of the crowd.’ So I gave her full throttle and Brian and I were side by side,” says Glenn.

He says he got in front of Stoochnow but with half a lap to go, his tub came to an abrupt stop because a rope got caught in his propeller — “I smoked myself into my steering wheel,” says Glenn.

With the help of another tubber, he got the rope off and finished the race but by that time, Stoochnow was already on the beach and Glenn’s body was telling him he was done for the day.

Stoochnow went on to finish second in the final but figures his engine was only going at two-thirds power and some tinkering will make it good for Boundary Bay this weekend. He just might run up against Glenn again. Despite the stiffness from Saturday, he’ll race — he can’t resist.

Says Glenn as he gingerly lifts his battered body out of his lawn chair, “The way the boat went this weekend, I’ve got to race.” newsroom@tricitynews.com

PUBLIC SAFETY

Why a bomb? Police are trying to find out Explosion in Coq. home sends one man to hospital Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

The RCMP’s explosives disposal unit (EDU) had to be called in after an explosion Tuesday evening in a house in Coquitlam that sent a man to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Mounties say they were called to a home in the 1400block of Ross Avenue, near Schoolhouse Street, when neighbours reported an explosion around 7:20 p.m.

Police said they found a man had been injured by an explosive device that had detonated.

When officers found more explosives on the property, they called in the explosives disposal unit.

GRAnT GRAnGER/ThE TRI-cITy nEwS

The house on Ross Avenue in Coquitlam where a bomb went off Tuesday evening.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said the victim has since been released from hospital and has no police history nor is there a national security issue. He said the RCMP do have an idea what happened but are still

trying to determine the exact circumstances that led to the detonation of the homemade explosive, and until the investigation is completed no details will be released.

McLaughlin said it was a device made out of readily

available components, and not a commercial or military explosive.

“Why it was there and why it was made is still to be determined,” said McLaughlin, who added that investigators aren’t jumping to conclusions about who made the device.

McLaughlin said there are numerous potential charges with a wide range of penalties under the Explosives Act or the Criminal Code that can be applied to possession or use of an explosive but no determination has been made whether any charges will be laid.

A neighbour who would not give her name said the injured man has been a Coquitlam firefighter for more than 20 years and his wife is a nurse.

CTV News reported property records show the registered owner of the home is Craig Banks. An employee with that name is listed in the city of Coquitlam’s annual statement

of financial information as captain of operations. A Coquitlam firefighter with that name was awarded a Governor General’s fire services exemplary service medal in May 2017.

Coquitlam Fire Chief Jim Ogloff wouldn’t comment on whether the man is a Coquitlam firefighter because of the active police investigation. “What I’m doing is keeping in touch with whatever [information the RCMP] are releasing,” said Ogloff.

The neighbour said the original explosion “was like being beside the nine o’clock gun [in Stanley Park]” while another nearby resident, who only gave his first name, Mike, said the explosion sounded like two cars colliding.

Several blocks were taped off and some residents evacuated during the investigation.

TransLink was forced to detour its 156 Lougheed and 156 Braid buses. The neighbour said her

family was not allowed to return to their home until 1 a.m.

Like Mike, she said there were at least three explosions after the EDU arrived.

“We did do a couple of controlled detonations,” said McLaughlin, who wouldn’t give an exact number except to say it was “more than one.”

McLaughlin said the detonations were out of caution, adding, “We understand the concern in the neighbourhood.”

McLaughlin said forensic specialists examined the home looking for any other components or any physical evidence or fingerprints that may indicate they were part of some potential criminal activity.

• Anyone who saw or heard anything that might help determine what happened should call the detachment’s nonemergency line at 604-945-1550 and ask for the investigative support team. newsroom@tricitynews.com

PoMo sends wildfire help Firefighter helps out with wildfires in northern B.C. Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

As the haze of smoke from wildfires burning in British Columbia and elsewhere settles over the Lower Mainland, a Port Moody firefighter is heading into the thick of it.

Kirk Heaven, a deputy chief with Port Moody Fire and Rescue, left Wednesday morn-

• P O R T

ing for Fort St. James, located on the shore of Stuart Lake in the north-central part of the province. The 1,600 residents of the former fur-trading post have been under an evacuation alert since last Saturday because the Shovel Lake fire, which has already scorched more than 31,000 hectares, is only about 35 km away.

The fire is one of 566 such conflagrations currently burning in the province, prompting the B.C. government to declare a provincial state of emergency Wednesday. The declaration, which is in place for 14 days,

facilitates the coordination of local, provincial and federal responses to the fires.

Heaven will help manage the emergency planning operations, including financing and logistics, said Port Moody Fire Chief Ron Coulson, and will be in Fort St. James for seven to 10 days.

Coulson said the fire threat to the community is particularly concerning because the fort from which it takes its name is a national historic site that was founded by explorer and fur trader Simon Fraser in 1806.

Coulson said Heaven has plenty of experience running

emergency operations, having previously deployed to help with the 2013 floods in Calgary and the wildfire that devastated Fort McMurray two years ago.

He also helped fire crews working at the bog fire in Richmond two weeks ago.

Coulson said every opportunity to help is a learning experience that can be used to bring new knowledge and expertise back to Port Moody.

“There’s opportunities to learn, in case a disaster happens locally,” Coulson said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

BC Nurses Union (BCNU) is calling for more security at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam after two nurses were assaulted while on the job.

In the first incident, a nurse was sucker punched and suffered head injuries; in the second, a nurse was working in the maximum-security unit when the attack happened.

She was treated by a physician on the unit and sent to hospital with severe facial injuries.

Both are recovering from the trauma and physical injuries they sustained when violently hit by patients.

The assaults occurred Aug. 5 and Aug. 13, according to the union, just a few weeks after an international expert panel completed a safety review of the hospital.

The union is asking for the release of the report and details about a follow-up action plan.

“We raised these same concerns when the Ministry [of Health] identified this as an unsafe place,” said union president Christine Sorensen.

The facility which treats adults with mental health issues who are in conflict with the law, is also in need of renovations, Sorensen said, as well as other measures to keep nurses safe.

“It’s a high-risk environ-

ment,” she said.

A spokesperson from the hospital agreed that the attacks are troubling and Connie Coniglio, chief operating officer, complex mental health and substance use services, said in a statement to The Tri-City News that a review of the incidents will be undertaken to prevent them from happening again.

“It’s always troubling when one of our own is hurt,” she said. “Unfortunately, due to the challenges and trauma our patients have faced, they can be prone to disruptive behaviour.”

Sorensen said the nurses union has worked with the Provincial Health Services Authority to come up with a plan to make the job site safer but little change has occurred.

She suggested security personnel should be in the rooms where nurses are working to prevent or stop attacks.

Meanwhile, Coniglio said efforts are being made to increase staff safety and security, including implementing violence-prevention training, increasing staffing, conducting an external review that includes an action plan as well as make improvements to the facility improvements and changes to procedures.

As many as 200 BCNU members work at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Car-Free Day is more than just a party PoMo’s Car-Free Day part of trend to reclaim streets

“Cities are starting to repurpose their infrastructure to a multimodal focus.”

Mario Bartel

JAN VOSS, TRAFFIC ENGINEER, OF PORT MOODY

The Tri-CiTy News

Jan Voss’ livelihood depends on moving cars.

But on Sunday, the professional traffic engineer will be amongst the throng of 20,000 people expected to enjoy Port Moody’s second Car-Free Day on St. Johns Street.

That’s when a section of the city’s busy commuter thoroughfare will be closed to traffic and given over to a pedestrian party that runs from noon to 7 p.m. and includes live music, family activities like rock climbing, street hockey, roving entertainment and more than 120 booths showcasing local merchants, artisans and community groups as well as a Brewers Row beer garden at the Queens Street plaza.

Voss lives in the neighbourhood. He also owns Creative Traffic Solutions, a Port Moody company that conducts traffic surveys and provides engineering services to help clients manage traffic. More and more, those traffic solutions are accommodating the needs of users beyond cars and trucks, like pedestrians and cyclists, Voss said.

JON LAVOIE/www.thEmOmENtItcLIcks.cA

Musical performances and family activities are part of the festivities planned Sunday for Port Moody’s second annual Car-Free Day, during which part of St. Johns Street will be closed to vehicular traffic.

“Cities are starting to repurpose their infrastructure to a multimodal focus,” he said, adding events that close roads serve as a reminder that those roads belong to people, not cars.

Voss said traffic surveys his company conducts now often count pedestrians and cyclists, not just motor vehicles, and the results can lead to design considerations like wider sidewalks,

more space for patios and the integration of bike lanes.

“If you’re moving 100 people, you want to make sure you accommodate all modes,” Voss said. “You’re really trying to slowly change to a more balanced approach.”

Voss said the move to take North American streets back from cars has its roots in Europe, where traffic calming has been part of the urban

landscape since even before there was traffic that needed calming.

“What’s old is new again,” Voss said.

But changing behaviours and transportation patterns that have been ingrained for generations is a slow process. Hosting car-free days and closing streets to accommodate events are a start that can lead to more reclamation initiatives.

“If you have one, then you can have another the next year that is longer, and before you know it, you’ve got a huge success,” Voss said. “People can decide how to use the roads.”

• To accommodate Car-Free Day, St. Johns Street will be closed from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Aug. 19, with through traffic and buses diverted to Clarke Street.

For more information about the road closure and how to get around it, go to portmoody.ca.

The Shoreline Shuttle free bus service, which connects Inlet Centre, Rocky Point Park and Moody Centre, will operate from noon to midnight, with an additional temporary stop on Clarke Street between Kyle and Queens streets.

WATER SAFETY

INJURED?

42 have died in B.C. waters

NO LIFEGUARDS

There is no lifeguard at Buntzen Lake. In fact, no TriCity beaches have lifeguards, something the Lifesaving Society would like to see change.

The city of Vancouver has mandated lifeguards be posted at its beaches and a proposal to eliminate them in 2012 was strongly opposed. The city of Surrey has a lifeguard at Crescent Beach.

In all, there are 19 lifeguardsupervised waters in B.C., 11 in Vancouver, one on a river, four on lakes and 14 on ocean fronts.

BC Hydro confirmed it had staff at the lake on Tuesday when the drowning accident occurred as part of regular safety initiatives that include beach and trail patrols by staff with first aid training, numbers of which have increased since the warm weather began.

“We do have a boat that goes out to make sure the people who are using the lake are being safe,” a BC Hydro spokesperson said. As well, RCMP patrol the lake area on busy weekends.

Mora Scott also said BC Hydro will be reviewing its safety plans as a result of the most recent death.

But regardless of how many lifesavers are on hand, Miller’s organization would like to see Grade 3 and 7 students taught a swimming survival program to reduce the number of drowning deaths. His group wants the province make the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to Survive program mandatory in all schools.

“We’re very strong on the need for every child to learn to swim and the Swim to Survive program is not swim lessons but it is certainly providing some survival skills, so if there’s an accidental fall into deep

The latest victim, a 47-yearold Burnaby man, apparently disappeared under the surface of the water at about 4 p.m.

Tuesday. His body was subsequently recovered by the RCMP’s underwater recovery team.

Miller, who grew up in Coquitlam and is familiar with Buntzen Lake, said he is saddened by the news that the water reservoir has claimed another victim. The lake has steep drop-offs and while orange lifesaving devices are available at two kiosks on the beach front, and there are warning signs about the drop offs, there are no buoys indicating where the drop-off is located or to indicate a boundary that beach-goers, especially non-swimmers, should not cross.

“The water drops off to being deep water. People have to be conscious of that. One of the things we always say, too, is they need to know their own limits,” Miller said.

water, there are some skills that children can use and hopefully these are skills they will retain as an adult.”

BE VIGILANT

With so many non-swimmers enjoying the water and limited rescue services, it’s increasingly important for beachgoers to be cautious around the water and to watch every member of their family when they are enjoying the water.

Inflatable toys are not suitable as a water safety device — they can easily float beyond reach in an accident — and Miller recommends people not go into deep water if they cannot swim.

Drowning is a silent killer and people can quickly go under, and as they struggle for air, may not come up again.

At Buntzen, water levels fluctuate, with the deeper water often close to the shore, deceiving swimmers as to the lake’s safety.

Hydro confirmed that it has signs around the lake, warning people about the deep water.

If someone does seem to be having difficulty in the water, a potential rescuer should consider the “ladder of risk” and not put themselves in harm’s way, Miller said.

“We want people to start with the least risk to themselves, so that would be talking someone in if they’re that close. Next would be reaching out to someone or throwing something to the person. The last resort would be to go into the water yourself.”

The orange safety device often seen at beaches, including Buntzen Lake, can be used to tow a person to safety, if thrown, and can be used to get out to the struggling person and bring them back.

“Both can hang on and kick their way back in. Once they have that security of the life ring, they will calm down if they are in a panic state,” Miller said.

The Lifesaving Society also sells lifesaving rings, called PAL (Public Access Lifering) for cities and other jurisdictions to install at their beaches.

PoCo boy prepares for Pokémon pinnacle Dad touts math, literacy benefits of popular game

“You lose when you make mistakes. So you know what not to do next time.”

COLIN BLAIS, 10, OF PORT COQUITLAM

The Tri-CiTy News

Jigglypuff, Charmander and Squirtle may sound like a foreign language.

For 10-year-old Colin Blais of Port Coquitlam, they’re his ticket to Nashville.

Colin is going into Grade 5 at Cedar Drive elementary school.

But before he gets there in September, he’ll be testing his wits, strategy and knowledge of strange cartoon characters with big saucer eyes and myriad powers at the Pokémon World Championships, which will be held at the Nashville Music City Center from Aug. 24 to 26.

It’s the realization of one of the boy’s life ambitions to battle his deck of Pokémon cards against the 70 or so top players in his age group from around the world. They’ll each have earned their way to the game’s ultimate tournament by earning points at several local and regional competitions that are held almost every weekend.

In the two years Colin has been seriously playing Pokémon, he has competed at tournaments in Vancouver, Portland, Ore., Salt Lake City, Utah and Madison, Wisc. The

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Colin Blais, 10, sorts through his Pokémon cards to formulate the best deck of 60 character, trainers and energy cards to play at the Pokémon World Championships in Nashville, Tenn., next week. Blais will be accompanied by a stuffy of his favourite character, Pikachu. events can attract hundreds of players, each loaded with decks of the 60 best cards they’ve carefully collected, collated, catalogued and handicapped to give them the edge over their opponents.

That’s what Colin will be doing over the next couple of weeks, sorting through his collection of roughly 10,000

Pokémon cards to identify the right mix of character, trainer and energy cards, then testing his hunches and strategies against his dad, Michael Blais, and his friends at Treasure Chest Games on Coast Meridian Road, where he has been honing his Pokémon knowledge for two years.

It all started with just a

few cards that are based on a Japanese animated TV series and form the basis for a complex game to determine who the best Pokémon “trainer” is. Like most of his fellow kindergarteners at the time, Colin didn’t concern himself with the minutia of booster packs and expansion sets, he just wanted to collect and trade the

colourful cards. When they did try to play the game, they just winged it without knowing the rules.

But then his dad challenged Colin: If he wanted to build his collection of cards, he would have to learn how to play the game properly.

Colin headed to Treasure Chest, where he was immersed in Pokémon rules and strategies every Sunday in a local league against other kids and even some adults.

He got better, earning better cards that gave him the ability to improve. He studied the TV series to learn the quirks and intricacies of its dozens of characters. He mined online resources to glean the strategies of other top players around the world.

Colin’s card collection grew, from uncles and acquaintances who passed down their old decks, and from expensive purchases of rare, powerful characters that could tip the balance in a close game.

At the bigger tournaments where he might play seven

rounds of 50-minute games in a day, Colin’s Pokémon cunning grew exponentially.

“You lose when you make mistakes,” Colin said. “So you know what not to do next time.”

Michael Blais said the experience has been good for his son, developing his math skills as he tries to calculate the odds for success of any one of his cards and increasing his reading comprehension while navigating the complex narratives of skills, powers and vulnerabilities for each character.

“Some of the decisions you have to make, you’re getting into calculating probabilities,” Blais said.

For his part, Colin just wants to have fun. In Nashville, he’ll get a chance to reconnect with some of the friends he’s made at other tournaments.

They might play a few games amongst themselves but mostly they’ll run around.

“I just play and I don’t want to stop,” Colin said. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Fixing Fox Park aim of resident & dinner Janis Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

After three years of seeing and hearing about sketchy activities in his Port Coquitlam neighbourhood, Ammar Ahmed said enough was enough.

The father of three had watched drug deals go down in and around Fox Park — a 1.5-acre space where kids frequently play — and read reports from Coquitlam RCMP about the neighbourhood being a high-crime zone for home and vehicle break-ins.

Last fall, when a child in the park got pricked by a used hypodermic needle that was buried in the gravel, Ahmed raised the alarm.

A few weeks back, when city staff called on area residents to give feedback on updates for Fox Park, Ahmed used his time to talk to fellow residents as well, most of whom were also complaining about illegal activities. He started a Facebook page where residents located south of Lougheed Highway and north of Davies Avenue, and between Westwood and Hastings streets can network.

He also contacted the RCMP’s Block Watch co-ordinator to glean information.

Sunday, he’s inviting his neighbours to a potluck dinner at Fox Park to officially launch the Block Watch program and share ideas to keep the area safe.

“It’s been proven that just having signage up is a deterrent,” he said, noting he has had assistance from the city to cordon off part of Lancaster Street for the private gathering for area residents.

The city is aware of the social challenges, which mainly sprung up after BC Housing and the city of Coquitlam built a homeless shelter nearby at 3030 Gordon Ave. “There is a presence of individuals [at Fox Park] who are homeless or have addiction issues,” said the city’s communications manager, Pardeep Purewal. “We have found drug paraphernalia, including sharps, and garbage such as beer cars.”

She added, “City staff comb and clean the area daily, as do staff from [shelter operators] RainCity Housing.”

The city hopes a new rubber surface going in at the park this fall will prevent objects from being buried.

The $180,000 park rebuild, which begins later this month or in early September, will also include replacement of play-

ground equipment, improvements to pathways and the addition of benches.

Wednesday, the city also pruned the trees close to the playground to start the spruceup.

Ahmed said he’s grateful to the city for the park upgrades and hopes it will be a start to stem the crime tide. “We need people to work together to solve these problems around here.” jcleugh@tricitynews.com

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Swim & survive The Lifesaving Society of bC is calling on the Minister of Public Safety, Mike farnworth, to fund a drowning-prevention program for b.C. students. and this week, after a second person has drowned this summer in buntzen Lake, maybe it’s time the MLa from Port Coquitlam took action on this issue. admittedly, farnworth’s ministry is in the midst of dealing with one of the worst fire seasons ever in this province. but the hot weather also draws people to local lakes, where they put themselves in danger if they can’t swim.

So far, 42 people have drowned this year in b.C., a crisis if there ever was one, and the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to Survive program should be mandatory in schools. according to the International Life Saving federation, survival swimming can reduce the numbers of death from aquatic incidents by 50%.

With so many beaches and so few protected by lifeguards, it’s time british Columbians were taught to take water survival seriously.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:

Do you think a swim survival program shoulD be manDatory in b.C. publiC sChools?

last week’s question:

Do you think the new online DivorCe assistant will boost b.C.’s DivorCe rate?

last week: YES 43% / NO 57%

Eby & co. are fine-tuning, but many will pay more o nce you get past the sneaky projection of the impact, the new ICbC premium system coming next year looks oK… If you’re old, hardly ever go anywhere and never let anyone else drive your car.

If you drive so safely you can’t even remember your last accident.

If you’ve got the latest automaticbraking technology. and if you live far away from distracted lunatics piling up their cars on LES LEYNE clogged city streets.

They won’t look so oK if you’re young, have a learner’s licence and live in a city. If you’ve got a bad driving record, here’s a tip: Load up your Compass card or buy a bike because you’re going to get whacked. attorney General david Eby tried to be reassuring about the many changes coming. That’s a change because he has been as alarmist as possible about the shape ICbC is in since he took over responsibility last year. His briefing tried to leave the impression that two-thirds of drivers would be better off.

“To be clear, if there is a rate increase as a result of the rate hearDelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

ing in december, two-thirds of drivers will be better off under the proposed system we have announced today.” but the briefing notes make it clear that’s only projected for the first year of the transition. The changes are being phased in over three years. Some are so big they’ve capped the year-by-year increase over that transition period. That mostly affects the losers in the new approach. If the majority would benefit once the full impact takes hold over time, not just the first year, the government would have said so. It didn’t. and the reassuring statement minimizes even what it acknowledges. There most assuredly will be a rate increase approved by the b.C. utilities Commission. ICbC is a billion dollars in the hole and needs every nickel it can find. The corporation has to file its request with the bCuC by the end of the year — and it’s not going to be peanuts.

So right away, nobody is better off. Rates are going up, period.

Eby is trying to argue that rates won’t go up as high for most people as they might have. It’s more likely the majority could be potentially less worse off, not better off. and all the changes unveiled last week are about basic coverage. The optional extended coverage many people buy from ICbC jumped by almost 10% last year, far higher than the basic premium. It could be expected to rise again. The government ordered

a half-billion dollars scooped from that side of the business last year to prop up the basic side. drivers got an average $130 hike all told last year. another category of premiums is going even higher. driver penalty-point premiums and driver risk premiums will jump 20% this fall and another 20% next year.

ICbC collects about $26 million a year from those additional levies, a fraction of what the main premiums bring in, but that revenue stream will increase substantially.

There will be minimal sympathy for those drivers paying the penalties. but spare a place in your heart for young and inexperienced drivers because they’re going to come out losers, just based on the actuarial tables.

Inexperienced drivers will continue to get a discount but it will be reduced because they pay far less than the risk they represent.

Learner-licence holders will pay up to $230 more. The only break for them is that crashes during that phase won’t count against their record.

Last year, ICbC said it needed a 20% increase on basic premiums but asked for 6.4% to smooth it out.

Whatever it asks for, it still needs a lot more. It’s unlikely the majority of drivers will be better off.

flOrA & fAuNA

Pay heed to candidates of Crows, owls all ages and experiences and a Peacock The Editor, I recently read an article from the Daily Hive Vancouver that stated: “[A] Staggering 75% of British Columbians want to see young people elected to government.”

When such a large segment of the population is looking to youth for representation in office, it indicates the people would like a systemic change.

It indicates that expectations have not been met for the many.

Young people are facing hardships that no one older than 34 holding office had to face, such as our housing affordability crisis. Older people, the 55-plus crowd, are worried about their retirements, about their children and grandchildren in the face of this crisis, plus they are facing an infrastructure that has not kept up with the population.

It used to be that we assumed people with the most

experience were the best option to tick on our ballots.

Look for the politician with the most letters behind their name or who has sat on the most committees, etc.

Certainly, there is benefit to be gained through both education and experience, and both should be respected. But people are now looking critically at politicians’ effectiveness and at our current state of affairs, and judging incumbents on their work in office.

The technologies our youth are adept at using, such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and the like, have provided much more insight to a politician’s performance than before. Our elders have swiftly caught on to these media and are using them as sources for information as well as to share their own voices. This is a wonderful thing and makes our future promising as more people get involved rather than indulge in the blissfulness of apathy.

More people realize they are

truly affected by election results than ever.

I will be attending as many campaign launches as I can, especially those of the new candidates. I want to hear some fresh outlooks and new ideas, and see an enthusiasm for aggressively changing our policies to help correct this crisis I see our people suffer every day.

I encourage all your readers to attend as well, and if unable to go in person, please refer to these up-and-comers’ websites, send them your questions, ideas and concerns.

Just as importantly, reflect on incumbents’ records, decide for yourself if their history in office is something you feel has helped or hindered our population.

Most importantly, get out and VOTE Oct. 20 (or in advance voting). Set your reminders on your calendar now.

Christina Gower, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “Should we cull crows?”

(Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 10) and “You do not want to make the crows angry” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 15).

Lois Mackenzie suggests in her Aug. 10 letter that maybe we should we cull the crow population.

Is that likely to bring complaints about a murder of crows? And should those complaints go to a parliament of owls? Just asking.

A letter writer last week proposed crows be culled in the Tri-Cities but not everyone agrees with that idea.

TRIM THE TREES, PLEASE The Editor, Re. “Tree issues” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Aug. 8).

I couldn’t agree more with letter writer Brie Oishi. I’ve been trying for years to get School District 43 to do something about its trees that are sitting 20 feet from my house and 50 feet from a preschool. Sure, they removed some branches,

but I feel that more should be done.

With climate change making our weather so unpredictable, I think more drastic action should be done before tragedies happen, as we’ve seen recently.

I love trees, as long they are at safe distance.

Special Numbing Cream Relieves Years of Arthritis Pain Without Pills or Needles New cream relieves arthritis pain in minutes after applying; uses the strongest approved dose of an anesthetic which numbs the nerves that trigger intense joint pain

By David Watson Associated Health Press TORONTO – Expectations are high for a new blockbuster arthritis pain reliever. But unlike so many of the others, it comes in the form of cream, not a pill.

Initial users say the relief is extraordinary and when you look at the science you’ll see why.

The new pain relief cream numbs the nerves right below the skin.

When applied to an arthritic joint, or a painful area on the body, it delivers rapid relief that lasts for hours and hours.

Blocks Pain Wherever It Hurts The powerful painkilling effect is created by the cream’s active ingredient, a powerful anesthetic.

Anesthetics are highly regarded by physicians in the medical community. They block nerve signals specifically so that patients don’t feel pain and are incredibly effective.

“Those suffering with arthritis or joint pain can expect relief within minutes of their first application,” explains Dr. Henry Esber, creator of the hot selling topical Apeaz.

“There will be a pleasant warming sensation that is followed by a cool, soothing one. This is how you know that the anesthetic and the active ingredients has reached the affected joint and tissue.”

Works In Minutes For sufferers of arthritis pain, Apeaz offers impressive advantages over traditional medications.

The most remarkable is how quickly it relieves arthritis and joint pain.

The cream contains the maximum approved OTC dose of an amazing anesthetic, which rapidly penetrates the skin to numb the area that’s hurting.

This relief lasts for several hours.

fraction of the cost. At less than $2 a day, the cream is quickly becoming a household name.

Rapid Relief Without Pills or Needle Injections ManyApeazusersreportsignificantimprovements in daily aches and pain. Many others also report increased flexibility, less stiffness, and decreased muscle soreness. They are moving with less pain for the first time in years.

“I’ve tried more pills than I can count. I’ve also had a handful of cortisone shots. Nothing is as effective as this product. With Apeaz, I get relief right away. I rub a little on my hands. It keeps the pain away. It also prevents the pain from getting really bad. It’s completely changed my life,” raves one user.

Apeaz™ is a Natural Health Product approved by Health Canada for the following conditions:: • Temporary pain • Simple back pain • Strains • Sprains • Athletic injuries • Muscle stiffness and pain • Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, muscle or joint pain

“One of the most impressive things about the study was the various ways Apeaz was able to influence levels of pain. Many painkillers, and even creams, simply mask your pain. Apeaz is different. Since it is absorbed through the skin it deliver rapid relief and is able to deliver its ingredients directly to infected arthritic tissue” explains Esber.

A New Weapon for Arthritis and Joint Pain With daily use, Apeaz helps users live a more vital, pain free relief without any of the negative side effects or interactions associated with oral drugs.

The New Science Behind Arthritis Pain Relief When applied to the skin Apeaz is absorbed in just minutes. It then penetrates through muscle and tissues, getting to the source of you pain, numbing the nerve endings.

Readers can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable. It is also extremely effective, especially if nothing else has worked.

“This is why Apeaz is so effective for people with arthritis pain. It reduces pain while adding an additional potential layer of joint support,” explains Esber.

Highly Effective, According to Researchers A pre-clinical trial on Apeaz was carried out by Dr. Esber and his research staff shortly after its initial production.

No Risk of Ulcers or Stomach Pain

The results were published in in the Journal of Immunology.

There are also no negative side effects as seen with pills. Apeaz delivers its ingredients through the skin. Oral medications are absorbed in the digestive tract. Over time, the chemicals in pills can tear the delicate lining of the stomach, causing ulcers and bleeding.

The study found that Apeaz induced an instant numbing effect, which blocked pain for several hours.

There are also tremendous savings when switching over to a topical like Apeaz. When compared to other arthritis medications, Apeaz is a

Apeaz delivers its active ingredient, a powerful painkiller, through the skin, providing users with rapid relief without side effects

Through the use of a powerful anesthetic, Apeaz is able to numb pain at the source, specifically around joints plagued by arthritis.

Published pre-clinical animal studies have shown that the other ingredients in Apeaz can also prevent further bone and cartilage destruction.

voury dishes.

Here are two more quick ideas: Peach crisp is as simple as peeling (place peaches in a pot of boiling water for 1 minute and the skins will slide right off) and pitting six peaches, roughly chopping them and tossing them with 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp flour and a squeeze of lemon juice (or KICS, of course) and placing the fruit in a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle your favourite granola from Livi & K or Gabi & Jules over the top and bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes or so. Top it with a scoop of something sweet from Rocky Point Ice Cream just to take it over the top.

A green salad topped with peach slices, basil, slivered almonds and fresh mozzarella is so good, and even better if it’s drizzled with a balsamic vinegar from Amazing Foods.

As much as I love peaches, the other stone fruits are wonderful, too. Nectarines, apricot and plums all shine this time of year and are just as easy to work with as peaches.

And you can find them all at either the Coquitlam Farmers Market on Sundays or the Poco market on Thursdays.

IF YOU LIKE TO DRINK YOUR PEACHES...

While their delicious in desserts, salsas and more, peaches are also rather tasty with alcohol. Here is one last recipe in case you don’t want to eat your peaches.

t this time of year, I get excited about corn on the cob — I can eat a dozen in one sitting.

But as wonderful as locally grown corn is, I am not going to write about it this month.

Just know that you should eat as much of it as you can, preferably dripping in real butter and liberally salted. Fancy it up if you must with some parmesan cheese or cut it off the cob and freeze it for January.

I’m going to write about the other market staple I get excited about: stone fruits. I enjoy them all but I especially love Okanagan peaches.

They are in full force now at the market. We are especially glad to see the ones from Snowy Mountain Organics.

the Okanagan, though? Both freestone (the pit pops out) and clingstone (the pit sticks to the peach flesh) are grown in Canada. Here is another interesting fact: Peaches are actually a member of the rose family. And, like a rose, smell is everything. Peaches are ready to eat when there is a little “give” to the flesh and the fragrance is, well, peachy.

Peaches are a moderate source of both Vitamins A and C, and they are super low in calories. Surprisingly, they also provide a decent amount of Vitamin E, iron, copper, niacin, potassium and beta-carotene.

But if you would like a tidier peach snack, a fresh peach salsa is super easy to make: Dice a peach, toss in a bit of diced red onion and diced red pepper, perhaps a bit of tomato, definitely some fresh basil, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and grab a spoon, or serve it over grilled chicken.

DEL BIANCO WINS BIG

Owen Nguyen, 11, fires a backhand volley as he hones his game at the Coquitlam Tennis Club in preparation for the U12 national championships in Mont-Tremblant, Que., Aug. 21 to 27.

MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS

TENNIS

Coq. kid takes a swing at nationals The early bird gets the tennis court and a trip to U12 national championships MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

If 11-year-old Owen Nguyen doesn’t heed his alarm, he risks missing tennis practice.

Not because that practice is scheduled at an ungodly hour.

Owen hones his game at the public courts at the Coquitlam Tennis Club and Gates Park in Port Coquitlam, and if he doesn’t get there early on a hot summer’s morning, he may not get a court at all.

Clearly Owen has been a diligent early-riser as he’s qualified as one of the youngest players in the Canadian U12 national championships, to be held in Mont-Tremblant, Que., Aug. 21 to 27.

Owen, a Grade 6 student at Scott Creek middle school in Coquitlam beginning in September, is coached by his dad, Dale, who introduced him to the game as a family activity along with his mom, Ika

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Owen Nguyen, 11, is heading to the U12 national tennis championships in Mont-Tremblant, Que. He’s coached by his dad, Dale, at public courts in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam.

Setyawati, when he was five.

He played in his first tournament a couple of years later, and while Owen doesn’t remember how he did, he knew he wanted to get better.

Unable to afford private lessons for his son or mem-

bership in a private club for guaranteed court access, Dale started reading coaching manuals and mining online resources like videos on YouTube so he could help Owen improve.

“I’m a student of the game,”

he said. “We play to get better, not just to win.”

As Owen took a shine to the sport, Dale introduced a fitness component to their regime, encouraging him to keep up with basketball and soccer in addition to the 10 or 12 hours a

week they spend at the tennis courts as well as swinging at shadows in the garage.

“We play as long as it’s not too wet,” Dale said.

The effort has paid off.

Owen did well enough in four tournaments through the summer to qualify for the U12 provincials at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club in July where he finished third, earning him a place at nationals. Heading into the tournament, he’ll be ranked 38th in the country.

The nationals will present an extra challenge as well, because they’re being played on a clay surface. That means Owen will have to learn patience because the ball doesn’t move as quickly and he can’t push off from a planted position as easily, said his dad.

Owen said he has no expectations. He just wants to hang out with new people and test himself against new opponents.

Dale said maintaining the fun factor is paramount for his son’s tennis experience.

“He’s having fun, learning sportsmanship and discipline, not just on the court but also in life,” he said. mbartel@tricitynews.com

Christian Del Bianco is going out on top.

The goalie for the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs, who’s expected to be a top pick in this winter’s Western Lacrosse Association draft, is capping his junior career with four of the BC Junior A Lacrosse League’s top individual player awards.

On Tuesday, Del Bianco was named the league’s most valuable player, top goaltender, top graduating player, as well as the recipient of the Bob Reid memorial award for outstanding achievement. In fact, about the only award he didn’t win was the league’s scoring title, although his 10 assists was second only to Langley Thunder keeper Torin Vanrheenen, who got 12 helpers.

Del Bianco led all BCJALL goalies in goals against average (5.60) and save percentage (.856).

The recognition for Del Bianco’s achievements in the regular season is in addition to the award he already won as the most valuable player in the BCJALL finals where he backstopped the Adanacs to the championship in six games over the New Westminster Salmonbellies.

Del Bianco and his Adanacs’ teammates started their quest for junior lacrosse’s ultimate award, the Minto Cup national championship, Thursday in Calgary against the Calgary Mountaineers (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline).

They play the Okotoks Raiders today (Friday) and then face the Ontario champions, Brampton Excelsiors, on Saturday.

The top team after the first round gets a bye into the final best-offive series, which begins next Tuesday.

• The Adanacs’ executive team of Scott Wortley, James Abbott and Lance Hofseth won the Harry Ferguson memorial award as the BCJALL’s executives of the year.

GYMNASTICS

SFU Clan begin men’s soccer PoCo gymnast season as GNAC favourites to PanAm’s Tri-City players include powerful Polisi brothers and PoMo’s Kyle Jones

Coquitlam’s Polisi brothers have some unfinished business with the men’s soccer team at Simon Fraser University.

Both Marcello and Matteo have won individual honours in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) — Marcello was its player of the year a year ago, Matteo was voted freshman of the year in his inaugural campaign, and both were named to the allwest region all-star team.

And the dynamic duo, who were reunited on Burnaby Mountain last season for the first time since they played together in the Coquitlam MetroFord minor soccer system, led the Clan to their second consecutive conference championship.

But their quest for a NCAA Division II championship ended abruptly when the Clan lost their first-round match to arch rival Cal Poly Pomona Mustangs, the same team that

Coquitlam’s Matteo Polisi was voted the Great Northwest Athletic Conference freshman of the year in his first season with the SFU Clan. He, and his brother, Marcello, led the Clan to a GNAC title. defeated SFU in the national semi finals in 2016.

Heading into this season, which begins Sept. 2, the Clan are again favoured to defend their conference championship according to a pre-season poll of GNAC coaches. They’re also ranked 20th in the country.

The Polisi brothers will be joined on the pitch by five

other starters returning from last season, including Port Moody’s Kyle Jones, who received all-conference honours despite missing several games because of injury.

Coquitlam’s Michael North is back on defence and Anmore junior Jeff Cadman gained a season of valuable experience when he started 17 of the Clan’s 18 matches last

season as a sophomore.

Terry Fox grad Aidan Bain is competing with two freshman prospects to step into the keeper’s box as a starting sophomore with the graduation of Miguel Hof. Bain allowed just one goal and made 10 saves in 205 minutes of action last season.

The Clan’s bench will also have a strong Tri-City presence with Coquitlam’s Lucas McIlveen and Quinn Dawson joined by freshman recruits Joey Mijaljevic, who won a BC high school championship with Dr. Charles Best secondary last season, and Chris Guerreiro, a Coquitlam defender out of the Vancouver Whitecaps’ residency program when it was in Burnaby.

The Clan’s preparation for the coming season included a 10-day tour of Norway in which they defeated a pair of club teams in exhibition matches, Staeback 2 and Locomotiv Oslo.

SFU will have a chance to avenge their loss to Cal Poly Pomona right off the hop as their first game of six consecutive matches on the road is against the Mustangs.

The team’s first home game doesn’t come until Sept. 20, against Montana State Billings.

Port Coquitlam’s Hayley de Jong has been named to the Canadian team that will compete at the 2018 Senior Pan American gymnastics championships in Lima, Peru, in September. The event is a qualifier for the 2019 Pan American Games that will be held next summer in the same city.

De Jong, who trains out of Flicka Gymnastics in North Vancouver, earned her way onto the team with several notable results this season, including a first in the bars, third on the floor and third all-around at the Pacific Rim competition in Medellin, Colo., third in the vault and

seventh all-around at the Canadian championships in Waterloo, Ont., and second in the bar, third in vault and fourth all-around at the Elite Canada meet in Quebec City.

De Jong, who attends Riverside secondary school in Port Coquitlam, missed much of her last season as a junior competitor with a broken foot she suffered while training.

All around and apparatus finals, as well as team qualification, at the Pan Am championships will be contested Sept. 15. The top eight teams will then compete in the team finals the next day.
