ElDER CARE & SAFETY
Finally, some progress on Silver Alert Family of Shin Noh has been pushing for alert tools DiAne StrAnDberg The Tri-CiTy News
Five years have passed and not a day goes by without Sam Noh thinking about his father. Shin Noh went missing from his Coquitlam home Sept. 18, 2013 and his family is still seeking closure because the elderly pastor was never found, despite a huge community effort. “I try to remember the happy moments,” Sam Noh told The Tri-City News in an interview at his fitness studio in Port Moody. Indeed, Noh, 37, says he has a lot to be grateful for — from his marriage two years ago to his recently expanded business. As well, he said he appreciates how the community rallied around his father five years ago, partici-
pating in the search and helping to keep track of sightings. But there have been challenges along the way and Noh is speaking out now because he doesn’t want other families to suffer the trauma and grief his family has experienced. “It would give me some comfort for another family not to go through what we went through, that would be a comfort,” Noh said. “Around this time emotions are high and there’s a sense of disappointment that it hasn’t been accomplished.” That’s why he’s advocating for a province-wide Silver Alert program that would notify the public when elderly people with dementia go missing. Based on the current Alert Ready program tested recently to warn people about a tsunami, a Silver Alert would alert people in the immediate area where the missing person was last seen. see WITHOUT GOV’T, page 23

‘He gave me my life’: Tri-City residents share their remembrances of Terry Fox Last in a series of articles leading up to the Tri-Cities’ Terry Fox Runs Sunday, Sept. 16. Janis Cleugh
The Tri-CiTy News
T
erry Fox inspired millions of Canadians on his Marathon of Hope in 1980. And over the years, the foundation that carries his name has collected more than $800 million to help fight the disease that took his life a year later. The Tri-City News asked local residents and public officials what they remember about the Port Coquitlam hero. Here are some of their responses, which have been edited for clarity and space:
n “My dad drove a gravel truck and would see him all the time. We did not know that he was training. When he started his run, it was when our family got its first taste of cancer as my
grandmother got throat cancer. She was so happy he was helping raise money and awareness for cancer.” — Russell Machardy n “Terry Fox has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember: going to soccer games at PoCo high, and watching and listening to his Marathon of Hope. Terry has been a personal inspiration and, when I became mayor, I asked the Fox family for a picture of Terry to hang in my office. For the past 10 years, Terry has been top of mind and, when a situation gets hard, I reflect on Terry’s inspiration.” — Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore n “I rode on my bicycle beside him and talked with him as he ran down Ioco Road.” — Garrett Gronick n “Terry Fox inspired me every day when I was training for the Olympics. Every time I was exhausted or felt sorry for myself,
Save the Date Crossroads Hospice SILVER ANNIVERSARY Gala
I thought about Terry running a marathon a day — in all types of weather — to raise money to help others.” — Coquitlam Coun. Chris Wilson
n “He lived about six blocks from my house in Port Coquitlam and I would see him out jogging in the morning as I was going to work. This was before his run started and I didn’t know who he was. An amazing man.” — Darlene Montgomery
n “As the [Marathon of Hope] progressed and the media coverage became daily, I became more and more enthralled by this guy. Being young and from Port Coquitlam — and having seen him around the community — [Terry] was probably the first connection I had to exposure on the national stage. It helped me develop a real sense of pride as I watched Terry meet with children, adults and dignitaries… Even at my young age, I started to really feel

You can take part in one of the four Terry Fox runs in the Tri-Cities on Sunday, Sept. 16: • in Fox’s hometown of PoCo (10 a.m. start at Hyde Creek recreation centre, 1379 Laurier St., with three-time cancer survivor Debbie Middleton delivering the keynote speech); • Coquitlam (10 a.m. start at Mundy Park, 641 Hillcrest St., with Bill Vigars delivering the keynote); • Port Moody (10 a.m. start at Rocky Point Park, with Fox’s RCH nurse Alison Ince speaking); • and Anmore (12:30 p.m. start at Spirit Park, 2697 Sunnyside Rd. with Terry Fox Foundation BC/Yukon director Donna White as keynote).

like a Canadian and to be really proud of my country.” — Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay, organizer of the Port Moody Terry Fox Run n “At 11 years old, I followed Terry’s Marathon of Hope via TV, radio and newspaper. When he reached Mississauga, Ont. in the in the summer of 1980, I saw him (or least his head) run by
as thousands of people cheered him on. He was incredible to me: determined, selfless, articulate and inspiring.” — Dave Teixeira, organizer of the Terry Fox Hometown Run for 15 years n “I remember frequently seeing a determined young man with a distinctive gait on his training runs along Ioco Road. At the time, of course, he was
not yet a household name; however, after he began his cross-country run for cancer, I would often reflect on seeing him on his training runs so close to home in the Tri-Cities. A local lad who had a remarkable impact on all Canadians.” — Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew n “Nineteen years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I knew that, because of what Terry had started and what so many people have continued today, I had a very real chance of surviving a Stage 3 tumour. More than 13 years ago, I came to work for my hero. Not too many people can say they go to work for their hero every single day but I can. He gave me my life and it is now my passion to continue his dream and the legacy that he has left with us all to take up that torch and his dream.” — Donna White, director of the BC/Yukon branch of the Terry Fox Foundation. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

there are opportunities the city can leverage. “Coquitlam’s Housing Affordability Strategy has been recognized across the region for its successes and I want to continue to refine it,” he said in the press release. “It’s been decades since both senior levels of government showed a keen interest in supporting affordable housing, and that bodes well for those who are struggling with

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart announced Wednesday that he will seek “one more mayoral term” in the upcoming municipal election. The three-term incumbent said he has accomplished a lot during his tenure, but more work needs to be done, particularly on housing affordability. He noted that community amenities will also be an important issue in the 2018 election. “We’ve achieved a lot over the past four years,” he said in a press release. “But there are still some important initiatives to complete.” Stewart was first elected to council in 2005 before winning the mayor’s chair in 2008.

Rally 3 weeks before election not political, says event organizer Candidate says park rally Sept. 30 is ‘good timing’

MaRio BaRtel
The Tri-CiTy News
The organizer of the Rally for Port Moody Parks on Sept. 30 denies it is timed to help a city council candidate who is the founder of the group planning the event. Jeff Poste of the group Save Bert Flinn Park — which was started by Coun. Hunter Madsen, who is running for reelection in the Oct. 20 contest — said the timing of the event and its message aren’t meant to be political but he hopes prospective politicians vying for a seat on PoMo council pay attention. He said the rally is about alerting the community to threats posed by rapid growth to green spaces all over the city. “We want to make people aware Port Moody is a jewel, and we need to preserve this,” Poste told The Tri-City News, noting the group has yet to receive a permit for the planned rally location at Pioneer Park. “It’s their duty as elected officials to understand what the people of Port Moody want,” he said. Poste said the group’s frustration has been growing since city council voted in July to retain the right-of-way for David
POMO COUN. HUNTER MADSEN Avenue that bisects Bert Flinn, keeping open the option of turning it into a road to relieve traffic pressure on Ioco Road. That right-of-way has been on the city’s books since the 1980s. Madsen voted against the motion in July and said this week he would be “remiss” if he didn’t show up to the rally. He told The Tri-City News he doesn’t see the rally as a campaign device “but if it gets the attention of candidates, so much the better.” “The timing seems good,” he added. Madsen also said he has taken a step back from his leadership role in Save Bert Flinn Park but is still a member. Council’s decision earlier this summer came after reviewing a staff report on possibilities for a David Avenue extension. And it followed two hours of public input during which the majority of speakers
favoured retaining the option because Ioco Road is already too dangerous and congested to handle any more traffic to and from any future development of the Ioco lands. The right-of-way was part of the 1999 referendum that created the park and the staff report on the motion recommended it remain as an option because Ioco Road has limited capacity to accommodate more traffic generated by possible development on the Ioco lands. At the time, Coun. Diana Dilworth said the city should keep its options open until the owner of those lands, the Brilliant Circle Group, makes a development proposal for its 250 acres, 100 of which are in Port Moody and the rest in Anmore. (Brilliant Circle has not yet brought any proposals to the city or to Anmore.) And Mayor Mike Clay said at that meeting keeping the option doesn’t mean the city will build the road.

Four more to run The lists of contestants vying for a spot on Tri-City councils and the school board got a little longer this week. (The nomination period for candidates for city council, mayor and school board closes today.)
COQ: WILSON
Coquitlam Coun. Chris Wilson announced Thursday he will seek another term on council. The KidSport executive director said over his five years on council, he has advocated for more rental and belowmarket housing. He added that he will continue to push for an increase in the number of child care spaces available in the community. “One of my proudest achievements was securing a 96-space childcare centre when the new Sheffield elementary school is built on Burke Mountain,” said Wilson. “I will continue to work to make sure new childcare spaces are built across Coquitlam.” Wilson lives in the Mundy Park area and was an Olympic wrestler before getting involved in politics, competing in the 1992 Games and the 1994 Commonwealth Games. • For more information go to www.chris4coquitlam.ca.
COQ: zarrILLO
Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo is seeking another term in the upcoming city election.
She said if she wins another four-year term, she will focus on housing affordability and improving transparency at city hall while working to make the municipality more inclusive. Zarrillo first won a seat on council during a byelection in 2013 before being re-elected in the general election in 2014. She is the chair of the universal access-ability advisory committee and on Thursday announced that she had been selected for a third term as Coquitlam’s representative at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. • For more information go to www.bonitazarillo.ca.
COQ: hObSON
Trustee Barb Hobson is seeking re-election to the School District 43 board of education in the Oct. 20 civic election. Hobson was first elected to the board of education in 1996 and served two terms, including three years as board chair. She ran again in 2014 and since then has been a member of the finance and audit committee, a representative to the BC School Trustees’ Association and board representative to the District Parent Advisory Council and Student Leadership Council. She is also the president of the board of Place des Arts and the past president of the Rotary Club of Coquitlam. In a press release, Hobson
stated she is proud of the district’s financial situation, calling the board’s decisions sound, as well as new schools, classrooms and additional staff hired over the past four years. • For more information, visit www.barbhobson.ca.
pOmO: CeNa
Cathy Cena announced her candidacy for one of two Port Moody school trustee jobs. The mother of two and vicepresident of an academy that teaches debate promises to be a team player who is committed to visiting schools in the city. Her three priorities will be to support more school breakfast programs, ensure all students have an inclusive learning environment and lobby for new schools in high-density areas. Cena, who has twice before run unsuccessfully for PoMo council, is currently vicepresident of the Port Moody Arts Centre and Tri-Cities Community TV, and a member of PoMo’s citizens advisory committee and the Eagle Ridge Hospital gala committee. She was a parent advisor council chair in the Burnaby School district prior to moving to PoMo. Incumbent PoMo trustees Lisa Park and Keith Watkins have not announced they’re running for re-election but have filed their nomination papers. • Info: email ccena@shaw.ca or call 778-903-4611.

OUR OPINION
INGRID RICE
Sign of the times Should the city of Coquitlam get into the billboard business? Yes, but with some caveats. as one of the later entries to the market — New Westminster and Port Coquitlam already allow billboards, generating cash for community amenities — Coquitlam council should work to get the best deal possible for taxpayers. It shouldn’t sign on the dotted line without a careful assessment of the pros and cons as well as the types of images. after all, we’re giving away public airspace. for example, static images could be acceptable but not videos or moving images that could be distracting to drivers. and advertising messages should be subject to community standards — no racist, offensive or outrageously provocative political ads — while the infrastructure itself should be attractive. finally, the city should ensure taxpayers reap benefits, including the opportunity to post important message for residents. billboards have a bad rap for creating visual clutter. but with a good deal, including financial benefits, the city should end the ban and put a request for proposals out for bid.

or most, Mondays are a routinely lousy day of the week. Heart attack rates peak, it’s the furthest day from the anticipated start of the weekend and stress levels are at an all-time high as we prepare for a busy work week. for parents, this dreaded day also means a return to the busy back-toschool grind.

Mondays have forever had a bad rap, so it’s not surprising that some schools have opted out of the first day of the week. In Colorado, a school district has recently decided to cancel school on Mondays in favour of a four-day school week. Citing cost cuts as the main reason, the district anticipates a savings of nearly a million dollars in the first year of the new school schedule, and officials believe the new shortened week will help retain teachers DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

CATS VS. COYOTES
RECYCLING
Let us recycle all recyclables
Felines outside both in danger & are a danger The Editor, Re. “Watch out for coyotes, says cat owner” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 5). I find it hard to believe that anyone living in the Tri-Cities area would be unaware of hazards that outdoor cats face from wildlife. Yes, coyotes eat cats, raccoons attack, injure and kill them, too. So do bobcats and cougars, all of which are predatory creatures living close to us. Outdoor cats are also vulnerable to dogs, traffic and disease,
all of which result in a shorter and less healthy life for a pet. Domestic cats are not part of the natural environment and are largely responsible for the decimation of smaller wildlife and the drastic reduction of our songbird population. Any cat owner would be advised to keep their cats indoors or provide an outdoor enclosure for them for the sake of both their pet and other vulnerable creatures in our natural environment. Melanie Stokes, Coquitlam

Cats left to roam outside are in danger due to traffic and predators such as coyotes and bobcats, says the letter writer, who notes the felines also hunt small prey themselves.
ROAD SAFETY
Just say ‘No’ to billboards The Editor, Re. “Coquitlam, want electronic billboards?” (The TriCity News, Sept. 12). I guess lawyers will be looking forward to suing the city of Coquitlam when a driver is distracted by one of these LED billboards, if city council approves them.
The whole purpose is to sell stuff, which means causing drivers to take their eyes off the road while driving. Once a family is killed in an accident caused by one of these signs, we will all be paying a mammoth settlement. I hope someone will ask a few questions during all-can-
didates meetings. I gave up riding motorcycles after 60 years of enjoyment due to cellphone-crazy drivers whom I came upon every trip. And now add these distractions to these proposed highway signs and what more to you need to see more death and injury?
So what if the city makes thousands of dollars. Advertisers often sell stuff we don’t need or where you can find the closest happy hour. Please do the right thing, Coquitlam. We don’t need our streets to look like a highway outside of Hope. Brian Robinson, Coquitlam
The Editor, Re. “Fix recycling system” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 7). The two letter writers have it right: The recycling system, at least in Port Coquitlam, is broken. I wrote about this a couple of years back and nothing much has changed. We were better off before MMBC, now called Recycle BC, got involved. There is so many restrictions on what one can or can’t put in the recycling bin, most folks are confused. And as one letter writer put it, the easier you make it, the more people will comply and be encouraged to do the right thing. Here’s an idea: Have Recycle BC collect ALL recyclables and process them. It seems Lower Mainland cities are being controlled by Recycle BC — it dictates what can and can’t be collected. Much of what won’t be collected can be recycled but residents have to travel to other locations to drop off
those materials. This is extra cost and inconvenience are we pay our city taxes for these services to be provided. Other places, both in Canada and in other countries, somehow manage to do this. Just think, it’s creating jobs (for sorters) and only one vehicle, admittedly a truck, does the carting, against everyone using their cars to deliver recyclables to other locations. As well, no amount of online or printed guides is going to help because most people don’t read them. The only guide you need is the recycling symbol on the product container. I don’t mind admitting that I’m a conscientious objector. If any packaging has a recycling symbol on it, it goes into my recycling container. If more people did this, someone might take notice because no one is paying attention to common sense at the present time. Brian Wormald, Port Coquitlam

CRIME
no charges in aug. coquitlam explosion Mounties say they are still figuring out the cause Gary McKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
Mounties are still investigating an explosion at a Coquitlam home last month but no charges have been laid. Cpl. Michael McLaughlin told The Tri-City News Thursday that police are still trying to figure out the cause of the incident but investigators have determined that there is no threat to the public. “At this point, there are no charges,” he said. “The investigation is very much active. If we were to ever get to the point of charges or we were to determine there was evidence of any broader risk to the public, we would let you know right away.” The incident occurred Aug. 14 at a house in the 1400block of Ross Avenue near Schoolhouse Street shortly after 7 p.m. when a device police said was made out of readily available components exploded. A witness told The Tri-City News the blast sounded like the nine o’clock gun at Stanley Park. Police arrived to find one injured man, who was taken to hospital. When other explosive devices were found at the home, the RCMP’s explosives disposal unit was called to investigate. “We did do a couple of controlled detonations,”
McLaughlin said at the time, although he 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.” Forensic specialists examined the home looking for any other bomb components or any physical evidence or fingerprints that may indicate they were part of some potential criminal activity, he added. Several blocks were taped off and buses were rerouted out of the area. One neighbour said her family was not allowed to return to their home until 1 a.m. McLaughlin reiterated this week that police would not confirm the identity of the victim but a neighbour who did not give her name said at the time that the man was a Coquitlam firefighter for more than 20 years. CTV News reported at the time that 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 with the fire department. A Coquitlam firefighter with that name was awarded a Governor General’s fire services exemplary service medal in May 2017. • Anyone who saw or heard anything that might help determine what happened should call the detachment’s non-

COMMUNITY GIVING
Grants available for human rights projects in Tri-Cities HRI offering cash up to $2,000 for variety of projects A Coquitlam-based human rights organization is offering grants up to $2,000 to help individuals and groups bring to life projects to focus attention on rights enshrined in the
United Declaration of Human Rights. That document, which was proclaimed by the UN in 1948, states, among other things, that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, including the right to life, liberty and security. Hazel Postma, chair of Human Rights Internet (HRI), said the grants — which range
from $500 to $2,000 — can be used by individuals, artists, community associations, schools and non-profit groups to support their “bold, innovative idea that promotes a specific human right, or educates people on their rights.” She said the grant program is a pilot that is being rolled out first in the Metro Vancouver area. If it’s successful, it will
then be expanded to Toronto and Ottawa next year. Postma said it’s a way to extend HRI’s mission to provide information and education on human rights. Grant applications are due Oct. 15. Successful applicants will be notified in early November. For more information go to www.hri.ca or email info@hri.ca.

CIVIC ELECTIONS
DrAKe rUNNiNG AGAiN iN BeLCArrA A long-term elected official in Belcarra wants another shot at a village council seat. Thursday, Coun. Bruce Drake announced he intends to run in the Oct. 20 election. Elected to council in 1986,
Drake — a retired executive director for the federal department of industry — said he believes “Belcarra’s modest size calls for financial prudence, the recruitment of staff comfortable with multi-tasking and the
contracting out of many professional services.” Drake promises to work with Metro Vancouver and neighbouring municipalities to address summer traffic and parking challenges.

Sam Noh with a poster from five years ago when his father, Shin Noh, went missing from his home in Coquitlam on Sept. 18, 2013. Noh is continuing to advocate for a Silver Alert that would notify the public through radio, television and wireless devices when an elderly person with dementia goes missing.
ELDER CARE & SAFETY
Without gov’t help, others find solutions continued from front page
There has been a petition advocating such a program and Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson launched a private member’s bill for Silver Alert when the NDP was in opposition in Victoria. But as yet, there has been no progress and Noh fears families whose loved ones have dementia are at risk without such an emergency alert system. Without a governmentsponsored program, community members and advocates have stepped in with their own alert systems, and Noh said he welcomes these efforts to keep people with dementia safe. For example, the BC Silver Alert system developed by Coquitlam Search and Rescue’s Michael Coyle has been sending out RCMP missing people alerts for about four years while an Alberta research team is working on an app that would enable caregivers to get their loved ones’ information out to the public quickly and efficiently when the elderly person goes missing. Community ASAP or C-ASAP is being tested in Coquitlam next month and Noh believes it is a promising system. “It’s a voluntary subscription and you put in what radius you want to receive alerts.” When an individual goes missing, their caregiver can issue an alert on the platform, which includes the person’s last known location. Police can use this information to issue a missing person alert over traditional channels. Volunteers who have preregistered can report sightings

Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. that may help authorities locate the person. Noh said such a program could have helped his family because there were sightings of his dad that weren’t reported until a few days after Shin Noh went missing. “You need to be able to communicate this data and provide updates,” Noh said. “Time is of the essence.” In the years since Shin Noh went missing, his family has come together over their grief but have yet to hold a memorial. They will be holding a family gathering this weekend and Noh acknowledges that in two more years, his father will be officially declared deceased and a funeral will likely be held. If there is any silver lining, he said, it’s that people are more aware about Alzheimer’s and dementia, and efforts to make the Tri-Cities a dementia-friendly community are welcome, something Noh says his family has come to appreciate because initially they were uncomfortable about letting people know about their father’s condition. “I want to keep this in the public mind,” Noh said. “This issue isn’t going away — the stats say it’s a growing problem.”

POWER LIFTING
Win fuels lifter’s weighty ambitions Coquitlam powerlifter wins big at his first competition MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Devin Vowles doesn’t mind doing the heavy lifting around his family’s Coquitlam home. It’s just more training. And all that work with weight — in the gym and outside — paid off when the 20-year-old Dr. Charles Best secondary grad recently won his weight category in the junior unequipped division at the Kelowna Hard Knox Open power lifting competition. He squatted 200 kg, bench pressed 122.5 kg and completed a 240 kg deadlift for a total of 562.5 kg. It was Vowles’ first time on the stage at a power lifting event. But not his last, as his results qualified him of the BC provincial power lifting championships next June. Before then, he’s back at Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Que., where he’s in his third year in sports studies and psychology. In fact, it was Vowles’ arrival at Bishop’s that got him into weight lifting. The former lacrosse goalie who played box in the Coquitlam Adanacs’ minor system and field for his high school team started hanging out with players from the university’s football team. They spent a lot of time hoisting barbells in the gym. Many of his newfound buddies towered over 5’7” Vowles, their bulk blocked the sun. “I want to be like that,” thought Vowles. So he started lifting as well. And as his effort hardened his physique, Vowles added more weight, intensified his workouts. His friends on the football
MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Devin Vowles isn’t just helping around his family’s Coquitlam house when he hoists heavy bags of soil, he’s also training for power lifting competitions. The 20-year-old Dr. Charles Best secondary grad who now attends Bishops University in Quebec recently won his weight category in the junior competition at the Kelowna Hard Knox Open. team offered advice. One suggested he compete. “I might as well give it a try,” Vowles said. Now with a goal, Vowles developed a workout program using information he gleaned from the Internet. He searched YouTube videos to learn proper lifting techniques, then recorded his own for comparison. He honed his diet. Vowles spent 20 weeks getting ready for the Kelowna competition. It wasn’t always easy fitting his 2.5 to three hours of time he spent in the gym between and around classes, assignments

and exams. “I put a schedule together,” Vowles said. “I knew what I needed to do and what I wanted to do.” That discipline served Vowles well. To save time, he researched and prepped his meals ahead of time. He completed assignments early, tried clustering classes together so he could have blocks of time for workouts. Still, putting his lifting ability to the test in a sanctioned competition was uncharted territory for Vowles. Used to being in his own headspace while training, he said walking onto a
‘spotlit stage in front of a crowd was a “weird” experience. “There was nothing to focus on,” Vowles said, adding he normally zones out by zeroing his gaze on a fixed spot when working out in the gym. But Vowles’ experience playing goal in lacrosse helped him muffle the noise, tune out distractions. Vowles said he found the atmosphere at his first power lifting competition very supportive. While all the athletes were trying to win, they rooted for each other, offered encouragement.
“When you’re in the gym, you start to feel a little isolated,” Vowles said. Now back into his school routine, Vowles knows the year ahead will be busy with a full course load and training. But he’s eager to get started. “There’s 24 hours in a day,” Vowles said. “So long as I get the workouts done I need to get done, then I’m OK. It helps keep me on a rail.” And his hulking buddies on the football team? They’re now coming to him for lifting advice. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC
MANN CUP STAYS IN ONT.
You won’t be seeing the Mann Cup schlepped around the Tri-Cities this fall. All the scoring talent from the Tri-Cities couldn’t help the Maple Ridge Burrards as they were swept from their best-of-seven national senior lacrosse championship by the Peterborough Lakers in four straight games. Despite the contributions of Port Coquitlam’s Curtis Dickson, who amassed 61 points in just 11 regular season games for the Burrards, and Coquitlam’s Ben McIntosh, who added 41 points during the team’s playoff run, the Burrards struggled to tap their offensive strengths after a tough 14-13 loss in double overtime in the opening game of the series that was played in Peterborough. The Burrards were subsequently thumped 10-1 in the second game, lost the third game 11-6 and succumbed in Tuesday’s finale, 11-8. McIntosh finished the series with 15 points while Dickson had 14 points. Burrards’ goalie Frank Scigliano, who’s from Coquitlam, had an .807 save percentage. The Burrards’ loss makes it 33 years since a Western Lacrosse Association team has won a Mann Cup in Ontario.

CONTRIUBTED
Liz Thunstrom, left, gets ready to board the Vancouver Giants’ “Fanboni” between periods at the Langley Events Centre.
ZAMBONI DRIVING
Living a dream JENNIFER GAUTHIER/NEW WEST RECORD
A United ball carrier is swarmed by Bayside tacklers in their BC Rugby Union Div. 2 men’s match, last Saturday at Hume Park in New Westminster. United lost the match, 22-18. The Div. 1 team also lost their match to Bayside, 31-7, while the women’s team won their match, 99-22. United will be holding its annual Try Rugby event this Sunday, to introduce new and prospective young players to the game. The free event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Maple Creek middle school in Port Coquitlam (3770 Hastings St.), is open to kids from kindergarten to Grade 7.
A Coquitlam grandmother has finally lived her sporting dream — even though she’s 80 years old. Liz Thunstrom said she always wanted to ride a Zamboni around a pristine white ice rink, and last week the Vancouver Giants hockey team, with a little secret help from her family, made her ambition come true. Just several days after she officially became an octogenarian on Aug. 28. On Sept. 7, Thunstrom’s family, including her granddaughter Kaitlyn Williams, took her on a celebratory family outing. But they didn’t tell her it was at the Langley Events Centre where the Giants would be hosting the Victoria Cougars in a Western Hockey League
preseason game. Midway through the first period, Thunstrom was escorted to the arena’s bowels where the team’s “Fanboni,” a specially modified ice resurfacing machine that can accommodate passengers, was warming up to scrape the ice between periods. Thunstrom beamed ear to ear. “I think that is terrific,” she said after perching in the passenger box for a few spins around the ice, waving to the fans who hadn’t retreated to the concessions. Williams, the organizer of the surprise, said her grandma’s wish was pretty unique. “She does a lot of stuff,” she said. “She’s pretty awesome.”
