Sunny skies, warm temperatures and plenty of fresh produce attracted hundreds to Coquitlam Farmers Market last Sunday morning. The markets continue each Sunday through the end of October.
How do you build a neighbourhood?
Health and animals big DC draws By Todd Coyne Students are returning to Douglas College and while their numbers are about the same as last year, the school says its plan to appeal to a changing student demographic is now apparent. With an estimated 3,600 students enrolled at Coquitlam’s David Lam campus for the fall semester, the college’s director of communications and marketing, Dave Taylor, said the school’s plan to appeal to more foreign-born and continuing education students is working. see NURSING NURSING,, page 12

Public will weigh in on latest — and biggest — development planned for Burke Mountain By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
If you were given a blank slate to design a new neighbourhood shopping area, what would it look like? How high would the buildings climb? And would the homes have backyards large enough for kids and dogs to play? Would there be any private outdoor space at all? Those are some of the questions Coquitlam planners will pose next month
as they gauge public opinion on the development of a commercial core for Partington Creek, the fourth and largest neighbourhood proposed for the lower slopes on the east side of Burke Mountain. Up to 15,000 more residents are expected to call the Partington Creek neighbourhood home over the next 20 to 25 years, and it will have the mountain’s only commercial zone. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, said the October open house will zero in on the commercial district, an area that generated a lot of discussion when the city hosted an open house in June at Leigh elementary school. see INPUT SOUGHT, SOUGHT, page 9

In the second installment of The Tri-City News’ five-part series leading up to the Terry Fox Run on Sept. 18, Rolly Fox talks about the death of his wife, Betty, the face of the Fox Run for more than 30 years, and how he aims to carry the torch to fight cancer... Rolly Fox with a favourite photo of son, Terry, and wife, Betty, in his Chilliwack home. Rolly says he doesn’t like being at home now after Betty died in June. He’ll be in Port Coquitlam on Sept. 18 for the annual Terry Fox Hometown Run.

Missing Betty but carrying on By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
F
our months ago, everything was fine. Betty and Rolly Fox had booked a trip to Las Vegas, where they were going to spend some time with friends. They had planned to drive to the border, stay the night at the Comfort Inn in Bellingham and fly out the next morning. But the day they were to leave — a Friday — Betty told her husband to call for help. Rolly Fox dialled 911 and asked for an ambulance. Two arrived. The paramedics rushed her to emergency, where she stayed for a day or two before being transferred to an upper floor of the hospital. A week later, Rolly said, Betty was in the hospice, dying of gastrointestinal bleeding. The doctors couldn’t do anything about it, he said. They shared quiet times. “We didn’t talk much,” he recalled. “She was thinking about everybody, I’m sure. She couldn’t believe what was happening to her. She was in a state of shock. “We all were.”
‘THERE WERE NO SIGNS’
6HFUHW F\FOHV
Betty Fox, the most prominent figure in her son, Terry’s, legacy, died on June 17. She was 73. Betty and Rolly would have marked their 55th wedding anniversary next month. In his first interview since her funeral, Rolly told The Tri-City News he’s having a tough
time coping with his wife’s unexpected death. “Six months ago, I never thought I’d be in this position today,” he said, chatting at the BC/Yukon foundation office in PoCo an hour after visiting the cemetery where Terry and Betty are buried. “Six months ago, Betty was very healthy, as far as I knew. There were no signs of this coming.” Rolly met his “best friend” in Winnipeg, Man., where he worked as a conductor for CN Rail. The couple had three boys, Fred, Terry and Darrell, but Betty wanted a girl. Judith arrived in 1964. Rolly yearned to raise his family in a warmer climate and liked B.C. After a little negotiation, he started working for the rail company on May 6, 1966, in the Vancouver and Surrey yards. Betty and the kids came out the next month by train, and they lived in a rented home in Surrey. They got word new homes were being built in PoCo, a CP Rail town, and the couple bought 3337 Morrill St. They raised their four children there and had a regular family life, Rolly recalled. But in March 1977, Terry was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma and had his right leg amputated above the knee. Three years later, the Foxes were thrust in the national spotlight when Terry took on his cross-country Marathon of Hope with the aim of collecting $1 from every Canadian for cancer research. During the historic journey, the Toronto Star brought Rolly and Betty to Ontario for a surprise visit. The newspaper captured the happy reunion with Terry in Whitby: the photo shows Betty holding tight to her son’s
waist and Terry smiling from ear to ear. Betty loved the picture and displayed it in her home. Rolly used it as the front of her funeral program. After Terry died of cancer in 1981, Rolly said his boy’s name would pop up now and then: at a memorial bench at Stanley Park, where Terry was to end his Marathon of Hope, and on a Coast Guard icebreaker anchored in the waters off Halifax, where Rolly and Betty had been a few years ago for a stop on a national tour of the Marathon of Hope van. Rolly calls those encounters “coincidences” but feels Terry’s watching him from above — as is Betty now.
‘I WON’T SAY NO’
He misses her deeply. “I always thought I’d be going ahead of her,” Rolly said, adding, “I don’t stay in the house very much. Everybody says that will wear off. I’m sure it will but, right now, it’s hard.” He spends time at the Royal Canadian Legion, where he can talk to another widower who lost his wife two weeks after Betty passed. Rolly admits he’s putting off things that need to be sorted out. His daughter, two daughters-in-law and six granddaughters want to help with her personal belongings, Rolly said. And he wants to find some items Betty tucked away, especially Terry’s memorabilia: Rolly has never seen Terry’s diary from the Marathon of Hope and he’s unsure of the location of the jug of Atlantic Ocean water Terry collected on the first day of his
voyage with Doug Alward on April 12, 1980. Parting with some of Terry’s keepsakes for a future Terry Fox Museum may be in the cards, he said. “We’re thinking about it. There’s talk about it. That’s all I can say right now.” In the meantime, Rolly plans to keep busy. On Sept. 18, he’ll be at the Terry Fox Hometown Run in PoCo. “I think she would be happy that I’m here,” he said. He’ll also be at the unveiling of the author and artist Douglas Coupland’s new Terry Fox memorial at BC Place later this month, and in St. John’s, NL, next April, where officials will show off a new statue of Terry. The Terry Fox Foundation, the volunteerdriven, family run charity that has collected more than $500 million is also on his mind. Rolly wonders how he can replace Betty, who was the main face of the organization and spent weeks away from home to talk to schools and groups about Terry’s dream of beating cancer. Rolly, the quiet gentleman who stood beside her as she spoke to crowds, admits he hasn’t got the gift of the gab and “I don’t see replacing her as a speaker,” he said. “She was very good at what she did. But I won’t back down on anything that I’m asked to do [by the foundation]... If I’m asked to go here or there, I won’t say no to anything. “Betty used to say that if she didn’t do things right, Terry’s leg would trip her up. Now, I say, ‘If I don’t do things right, there are two people looking down on me.’ “So I’ve got to make sure I do it right.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Some delays for new classrooms By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Nearly 2,000 kindergarten students in the TriCities started school for the first time this week and many of them got to begin their education in new classrooms. But some may have to wait a few weeks to get inside their new digs. Contractors are putting the finishing touches to nine modular classrooms to house the youngest students and a delay is expected for the opening of two modular classrooms at Eagle Ridge and at Aspenwood elementary, where a six-classroom addition is under construction. But the district’s assistant manager of capital projects says work is proceeding as scheduled at Bramblewood elementary, where three classrooms are being built, and on modular classrooms at Alderson, Lord Baden-Powell, Riverview, Glenayre, Mountain Meadows, and Rochester elementary schools. All were expected to open this week although workers may still be fine-tuning some non-safety details. Gary Holtz said workers, city inspectors and SD43 personnel worked through the Labour Day weekend to get the new modulars and the addition at Bramblewood ready for occupancy, adding: “It was an enormous effort by everybody.” Holtz said the short timeline made it difficult to get the classrooms in place for new full-day kindergarten students and the manufacturer pulled out all the stops to get modulars built on time. But some weren’t delivered until late August, posing a challenge to workers trying to get the buildings ready on time. Still, Eagle Ridge has space for students inside the school until the modulars are finished, Holtz said, and at Aspenwood, a contingency plan is in place until the addition is ready for occupancy in about a month, using portables and other rooms for classrooms. The projects cost $9 million and were implemented as the province rolled out the second phase of its full-day kindergarten program for five-year-olds. In all, SD43, is building nine classroom additions and 11 modular classrooms at nine schools to handle the influx of approximately 1,950 full-day kindergarten students. The new modulars are an improvement on portables, with better insulation and more windows as well as washrooms, storage space, communication links to the school, rolling shutters, highquality flooring and wood finishing. Meanwhile, Maillard middle school is getting some seismic work done and Cape Horn, Harbour View and R.C. MacDonald

The district is also working on several longer term capital projects as well. Construction has
begun on a $12.5-million replacement school for James Park elementary in Port Coquitlam, slated to open in 2012, and planning is underway for three middle schools. Construction for a
$20-million replacement building for Pitt River middle school is expected to start this fall and will be phased to allow operation of the existing school during construction. The new school will house a
neighbourhood learning centre, with an aboriginal welcoming centre, community school offices, a centre for sports training and a satellite office for Settlement Workers in Schools. Other projects in the works include a new 500-student middle school for Heritage Woods in Port Moody, with an estimated project cost of $31.3 million, and a 450-student replacement school for Moody middle. Longer term, the district is planning a rebuild of Centennial secondary at a cost of $49.6 million and a new high school for Burke Mountain at an estimated cost of $64.2 million. Centennial is expected to house 1,500 students and Burke Mountain is expected to house 1,200. The district recently concluded a property transfer for the Burke Mountain project. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Speak up Sept. 15 on transit improvements
Tri-City residents can have their say on a funding plan for transportation improvements — including the Evergreen Line — at a meeting next week organized by TransLink.. CEO Ian Jarvis will attend the meeting on TransLink’s Moving Forward plan to discuss the issues and take questions about the plan to upgrade transit services and build the $1.4-billion Burnaby-to-Coquitlam rapid transit system. The plan proposes a two-cent-perlitre increase in fuel taxes beginning in April 2012 plus, by 2013, either a property tax increase averaging about $23 per year for the average Metro Vancouver home or a new, long-term source of funding. Funds will be used to contribute $400 million toward the Evergreen Line as well as pay for improvements

Fundraising for the Terry Fox Runs? There’s an app for that T he Ter ry Fox Foundation has a new tool to make it easier for donors to send cash. T he Ter ry Fox Foundation launched its fundraising app for iPhone and Android phones two weeks ago to coincide with this month’s annual Terry
Fox Run (Sept. 18) and National School Run Day (Sept. 28). Participants who are registered online for Fox runs can use the app to track their donations, send emails to potential sponsors, receive credit card or PayPal donations, and leave mes-
sages. As well, their updates can be shared via social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Roberto Cellere, who works in the charity’s Quebec office, helped introduce the program in just a few weeks — and at a low cost — with
Artez Interactive, the foundation’s online fundraising solutions and ecommerce provider. “The app was created to give the foundation the ability to leverage the power of mobile technology to the fullest extent possible,” Cellere said, adding, “In
2010, the foundation experienced a significant increase in online fundraising revenues and that success provided the impetus to move forward with the next logical step, which is giving our online participants the latest in fundraising technology.”
spent directly on cancer research programs. Since it started, the foundation has brought in more than $500 million to fight the disease that claimed Fox’s life in 1981. For more information on the app, visit www.terryfoxrun.org.
The 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run proved to be a financial boon for the organization, collecting $28.7 million in the fiscal year ending March, 31, 2011 — up more than $3.3 million over the previous year. Of every dollar raised, 85 cents is

The massive fire that gutted several units of the 99 Begin St. condominium complex and left more than 100 residents homeless was started by a contractor working on the building’s roof. That’s according to Coquitlam Fire Chief Tony Delmonico, who told The Tri-City News Thursday that while the official investigators’ report into the cause of the blaze would not be released for at least another three weeks, he could confirm preliminary suspicions about the fire’s cause were correct. “The indication we have at this point through our interview process and our investigation shows that it was construction-related and it appears to be the roofing contractor,” he said. Delmonico stressed that while the Coquitlam RCMP are assisting in the interviewing and investigation process, there is no criminal investigation related to the fire. “At this point it’d be classified as accidental,” Delmonico said. The total cost of the fire, smoke and water damages from the Aug. 23 fire are still being tallied but are known to be in the millions.

Reference No. 10 002465 RZ Bylaw Nos. 4234 and 4235, 2011 Text Amendments to Industrial Zones The intent of Bylaw No. 4234, 2011 is to introduce amendments to City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 and its amending Bylaws to implement changes to the City’s industrial zones. The objective of these amendments are to make the zones easier to administer, and more responsive to current industrial business operations. The most significant changes are as follows: • Introduction of new definitions and clarification of existing definitions; • Introduction of a new standard for the number of parking spaces required to one (1) space per 100m² of gross floor area; • Broadening the definition of “industrial” and permitting any use that meets the definition within the M-1, M-2, M-3, M-6, M-8 and M-9 zones; • Eliminating the density provisions as measured by gross floor area. This application also includes an amendment to the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan of the City of Coquitlam Citywide Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3479, 2001 and its amending Bylaws. The proposed bylaw amendment (Bylaw No. 4235, 2011) would give Council greater flexibility in considering rezonings, on a case-by-case basis along United Boulevard to permit a limited number of stand-alone restaurants, convenience stores and service stations, to meet the needs of local industrial businesses.
Public Inspection of Materials Additional information, copies of the bylaws, supporting staff reports, and any relevant background documentation may be inspected from Wednesday, August 31, 2011 to Monday, September 12, 2011 in person at the Planning and Development Department, Coquitlam City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays.

It’s part of all of us in the region working together.” Moore said his city hasn’t been briefed by C o q u i t l a m c i t y staff specifically on Partington Creek but the two municipalities are now taking part in a joint study on the future Fremont connector that will tie Dominion Triangle with the Partington. Once that study is done, a public open house will be held to gauge residents’ opinions on the alignment. jwarren@ tricitynews.com

Then, attendees gave mixed views on the growth planned: Some pressed for towers to protect green spaces and sensitive lands while others urged a low-compact sprawl. McIntyre said the city needs to explore “the whole range of ideas and opportunities that are out there. Since the city owns the majority of land — and we have certain needs that we’ll be trying to provide for — it gives us a little more latitude to be more innovative. “We don’t want to create a strip mall with apartments surrounding it,” he said. “Right now, we need to scan the dial and come up with solutions. Not all of them may stick.” Some of the more creative projects include district energy (i.e., central geother mal), a system being used in Lower Lonsdale in North Vancouver, and a fibre optic network. Much has changed for the village since the public was first surveyed in 2007, McIntyre said. The housing market is different and many Burke homeowners have moved in to

The city of Coquitlam is looking at a range of options for the Partington Creek area. the other three neighbourhoods: Upper Hyde Creek, Lower Hyde Creek and Smilin g Creek. C o u n . M a e Re i d , chair of the city’s land use committee, said she favours high density housing in the commercial core — à la Whistler or Port Moody’s Newpor t Village — to attract boutique businesses. “It’s going to have to be high density because that’s how you achieve a vibrant core,” she said. Housing “will have to be innovative. We want to have a nice mountainside village.” Greg Moore, mayor of Por t Coquitlam, which will see an influx
of Burke shoppers especially in the big-box Dominion Triangle, said the Partington core needs to be easily accessible for pedestrians or transit riders. His city’s concern is building the infrastructure to support Coquitlam’s growth on Burke, where 24,000 people will eventually live. The extra roads needed for another city’s boom is a reality “of just living in the Lower Mainland,” Moore said. “The municipal boundaries are blurred between who uses services.” He added: “We have no choice.

Bargain (sshh) T
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
eachers’ contract bargaining should not be a spectator sport with blood-thirsty zealots cheering on their combatants like teens at an after-school fist fight. There are more adult ways to conduct negotiations than fear mongering, rabble rousing and putdowns. With school now underway, both sides in the B.C. public school teachers dispute should loudly pronounce their intentions to bargain in good faith and then duck under the cover of silence until there’s something worthwhile to report — like a settlement. The BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association have an opportunity to create a teachable moment for thousands of B.C. students by engaging in respectful negotiations. No doubt there are extreme challenges facing both sides in this dispute because the teachers are expected to live within the same “zero net” deal accepted by other public sector unions. With an arbitrator ruling that issues traditionally discussed at the provincial table should remain there, and class size and composition regulations left out of the discussion for now (the province has until next April to contemplate the implications of a Supreme Court ruling that struck down class size and composition regulations), both sides in the dispute have a very narrow range of concerns to deal with. As frustrating as it is for teachers to not be able to deal with their most pressing issues — parity with other provinces on wages and benefits, class size and composition — and with a provincial election still a long way off, the road is clear for some hard bargaining on the narrow range of contract items still open for discussion. One option is for both sides to bear down on a few key non-monetary items to obtain a short-term deal or stall for a year or more until the way is clear for a possible return to bargaining of class size and composition, wages and benefits. Regardless, it should be understood by all that teachers have the legal right to bargain (as upheld by the courts) and complaints of unreasonable concessions or unrealistic demands are typical opening bargaining positions. With these volleys out of the way, it’s time for some serious bargaining. But, please, let’s do it quietly.
Tough sales tax choices remain after the HST BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to. Remember, this is the guy who once figured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer and then, once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress. Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the BC Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months, and that would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transi-

B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribution Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking. The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy decisions that still must be made, with the province still in deficit.
CORRECTION
• A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored. In fact, this tax break had a sunset clause and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-efficient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbonefficient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances. The centrepiece of that budget was the carbon tax.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Where are the fines?
The Editor, Port Coquitlam had made a commitment that it would monitor bearprone areas for garbage bins to be secured (with approved Critter Guard locks on them) or to ensure the bins were kept secured in a garage. What happened to the patrols, monitoring and fines for not securing bins with acceptable locks in bear areas? I question whether this practice is happening regularly as it has been reported that only one fine has been issued in Port Coquitlam this year. As you are aware, another bear was shot in PoCo Thursday night near the Coquitlam River Bridge. It seems it was able to get into garbage relatively easily and although it may have been doomed anyway, as it was habituated, there are still bears out there that have not had the opportunity to access garbage yet and are not habituated to it and people. The Tri-City Newss report states conservation officer James Kelly said he has noticed more people are using bungee chords to secure their garbage bins, a method that does little to slow down a hungry bear. “A bungee cord will come off in a heartbeat,” he said. “It might work for a raccoon but it doesn’t work for a bear.” Further, “Kelly recommends keeping the garbage in a secured location, such as a garage, or buying a bearresistant locking device.” As I have stated before and it still seems to be the case, the city of Port Coquitlam is reactive — at best — and

Bungee cords are not enough to secure a garbage bin, according to conservation officers. not proactive. Port Coquitlam, let’s step up the patrols and do what you can to prevent issues as we are getting into the time of year when bears seek food of any kind prior to denning. I don’t think anyone wants to have anymore bear shootings if we can prevent them. Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam
more than two dozen of city hall staff. Mayor Moore likes to cloud the issues by breaking things down into small numbers and notes in the article that some of the services that city hall provides only cost an average of $3 per day per homeowner. He did a similar thing last year when saying that the additional costs for the mayor and council salary increases would only cost each household $3.95 per year. My property taxes increased by over $257 this year to $2,955 with the basic grant, so I’m wondering, if the mayor took his car to a mechanic for a service and a brake job, and was given a bill for nearly $3,000, would he OK with it if the mechanic said, “But it only cost $3 for the drain plug”?

Strike hurts students the most The Editor, With phase one of the B.C. teachers’ strike underway, there could be some conflicts for students. Teachers will stop doing their administrative duties and as a student going into Grade 12, I will need my report cards, my marks and my transcripts to send to universities. Everyone keeps saying parents and students won’t notice a difference but when the teachers don’t give me those marks, I’m unable to apply to university. That is a difference I’m noticing already. The teachers are politely asking us to be patient with everything but I can’t be patient

Are you eligible to vote at the november elections for Mayor, councillors and school trustee? is your name on the current list of electors?
Resident happy with new municipal auditor The Editor, Re. “PoCo not impressed with new auditor position” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 2). The headline should really say “PoCo’s mayor not impressed with new auditor position” as I’m sure a fair number of Port Coquitlam taxpayers welcome the plan and wish that results could be published before the November municipal elections. I’m not surprised Mayor Greg Moore is unhappy. If I had voted for raises of 27% for myself and 42% for my councillors, both of which are closer to 50% when you include additional benefits and tax savings, I would be unhappy with an audit, too. I would also be unhappy with the idea of an audit if I had approved salaries of over $100,000 to $200,000 for

with an application deadline. The teachers have also been saying the students are their priority. If we were really their priority, they wouldn’t be striking and making us a part of it, they would have found another way to negotiate their requests so students and our daily needs from teachers are not involved. Teachers have made some great impacts on my life and I can understand some of their requests, like their desire for smaller class sizes. But students don’t want to be their bargaining chips.

CITY OF COQUITLAM
White pickets went up last year around Coquitlam’s Porter Street elementary and similar devices have been installed at other elementary schools.
City improves walkability Coquitlam parents and kids who walked to school for the first week of the academic year saw some upgrades around their elementary buildings. Last year, the city installed $45,000 worth of improvements around 15 elementary schools, including new crosswalks, wheelchair ramps and temporary curb extensions. For example, Harbour View elementary got a new segment of sidewalk, curb and gutter while Ranch Park elementary had a new speed war ning sign posted on Spuraway Avenue. Dan M o o n e y, Coquitlam’s manager of
roads and traffic operations, said more money is being spent this year to install some measures that went in during the 2010 pilot project. And additional bigger ticket items are in the budget for the next couple of years for measures such as traffic signals and sidewalks; the city will apply to ICBC to match the funding. Mooney said the aim of the safety program is to give parents and caregivers a greater degree of comfort when they allow their kids to walk to school, alone or with friends. “It’s all about promoting walkable communities,” he said. The initiatives were put in place following

“With demographics changing the way they are, it’s a natural progression of fewer high-schoolers graduating and more immigrants coming,” he said. “Education’s becoming more of a lifelong thing and we’ve got new programs to tailor to those needs.” And while all of those new programs — post-degree math and sciences for teachers and a psycho-social rehabilitation diploma — are at Douglas’ New Westminster campus, Taylor said David Lam’s health care programs remain Coquitlam’s biggest pull for students. Among those, nursing is the most popular, with 1,200 students applying for just 60 openings, Taylor said. Nearly as popular is Coquitlam’s animal health program, which Taylor
said regularly attracts “hundreds of applicants” for just 30 seats. In total, Douglas College’s enrolment at both its David Lam and New Westminster campuses, as well as its Surrey Training Centre, is expected to top about 9,000 full-time students, with many more enrolled in short-term continuing education classes. In January, Douglas College president Scott McAlpine announced an ambitious five-year plan that had at its centre the explicit goal of making Douglas College the “largest and most progressive baccalaureate degree-granting college in British Columbia” by 2015. The exact numbers for enrolment won’t be available until mid-September, when students finally settle into their programs — newsroom@tricitynews.com

The Coquitlam RCMP are investigating after a body was found in a residential area near Lafleur Avenue and Kitchener Street Sunday afternoon but say they don’t suspect foul play. A man’s body was found along the banks of the Coquitlam River by some pedestrians shortly after 2 p.m. and police are still following up. The area was cordoned off but the crime scene was released Tuesday morning. RCMP Sgt. Tim Sylvestri told The Tri-
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Police are investigating after a body was found along the Coquitlam River at Lafleur Avenue and Kitchener Street over the weekend. City News that so far it does not appear that foul play was a factor in the death. “We treat all deaths as suspicious until we are able to determine otherwise,” he said. “The major crimes people haven’t taken it on
that is likely a good indicator that we are not looking at foul play.” The coroners office and the RCMP continue to investigate.
STABBING
One man was sent to hospital suffering from
stab wounds after an incident at Lions Park in Port Coquitlam over the weekend. The injuries were non-life threatening and the man was released from Eagle Ridge shortly after being admitted. “It was very minor,” said Coquitlam RCMP Sgt. Barb Thor nborough. “It didn’t require much medical treatment.” No charges are pending because neither the suspect nor the victim — or any of the witnesses — are co-operating with police. T he two men involved in the altercation are known to the Coquitlam RCMP and local homeless outreach groups in the area. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Cyclists face Port Mann detours
The bike path that connects Maquabeak Park to Colony Farm has been closed as construction crews continue their work on the Port Mann/Highway 1 improvement project. A temporary route has been set up along Burbidge Street, connecting with United Boulevard before being routed under the Mary Hill Bypass and connecting with the old trail. The route consists of a combination of gravel paths and roadside shoulders, and is well-signed, according to a press release from the PMH1 project office.

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – Former premier Gordon Campbell is among the recipients of the Order of B.C., prompting protests against the move as well as congratulations for his long career in politics. Online petitions and other protests started popping up when Campbell was announced Friday as one of 14 recipients of the province’s highest award. Critics complained that previous premiers such as Dave Barrett and Mike Harcourt have not received it while former premier Bill Bennett was named to the order in 2007, 20 years after he left office. Campbell resigned his seat in March and has since been appointed Canada’s High Commissioner for the United Kingdom. Fuelling the backlash was the selection of Campbell’s long-time deputy Ken Dobell to the Order of B.C. class of 2011. After a long career as Vancouver city manager and then deputy to Campbell in the premier’s office, Dobell was given an absolute discharge in 2008 for what a judge called a “trivial” breach of B.C.’s lobbyist law while working as a consultant on the 2010 Olympics. Another controversial choice for the award is David Emerson, a former senior B.C. bureaucrat who went on to serve in two federal cabinets. Emerson is best remembered for crossing the floor of the House of Commons to the Conservatives to accept a cabinet post after winning a narrow election victory for the Liberals in Vancouver-Kingsway in the 2006 federal election. The Order of B.C. is selected by a committee chaired by Chief Justice Lance Finch of the B.C. Supreme Court and including B.C. legislature speaker Bill Barisoff, Union of BC Municipalities president Barbara Steele and John Furlong, former head of the 2010 Olympics and a member of the Order of B.C. Other recipients of the Order of B.C., to be pre-

For the sake of the living Breaking the silence surrounding suicide By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
V
icki Leaman wants you to know that her son died of an illness. A cruel, heartbreaking and — for many — unspeakable illness, but an illness no less. And she’s trying to get the word out about it. On Saturday, Sept. 10, Leaman will join fellow survivors and students of this disease in Rocky Point Park in concert with the hundreds of thousands of others celebrating World Suicide Prevention Day around the globe. She’s doing it IN QUOTES for her son, but mostly she’s doing it for those still living. “He wasn’t lazy or needing to pull himself up by his bootstraps,” Leaman told The Tri-City News. “There is no Vicki Leaman shame in the way he died. He had an illness, like a tumor in the brain.” Taylor Leaman was 18 when he succumbed to his six-year struggle with depression on April 22, 2008. The disease had consumed exactly one third of his life “almost to the day,” Vicki remembered. There was no end in sight. “He made his second suicide attempt after his psychiatrist told him there was no more point in coming — right in front of me.” Raised in Coquitlam, Vicki said her son, who also left behind a sister, Stephanie, had everything going for him before depression derailed his life. Once the illness had taken hold, they tried everything to help him. But it wasn’t enough. “To see your child suffer the way I had to watch my child suffer...” Vicki said, “You’re so selfish that you want them to keep living even though you know they’re having these struggles, but he was 12 years old when this started. He never had a proper adolescence.” Vicki said that like many suburban kids suffering from depression, he never had a chance. There were visits to the Coquitlam Child & Youth Mental Health Office and different Vancouver clinics and services, but nothing seemed to work.
So they relied on adult medications, adult therapy and adult psychiatric wards and things only got worse. By the time Vicki found the Suicide Attempt Follow-up Education & Research (SAFER) program in Vancouver, it was too late to save her son. But it wasn’t too late to save herself. “When my son died I went to several councillors in our area trying to get the support that I required and they just didn’t get it,” Vicki recalled. “I went to [SAFER] and they were absolutely fabulous. They actually saved my life.” But SAFER’s unique program for those contemplating suicide and those who have just lived through it was recently closed to those living outside of the Vancouver Coastal Health catchment, meaning those outside of Vancouver and Richmond. “I want to get this area aware of the loss of services, the lack of facilities we have for both youth and adults in our area,” Vicki said. “We do not have an equivalent in Fraser Health and certainly not in the Tri-Cities.” Marion Kim at the Fraser Health-run Tri-Cities Mental Health Office agreed that more programs specifically for those at risk of suicide and those coping with the loss of a loved one would be beneficial to the area. “We do have clients that are admitted here for depression and suicide ideation. But if they’re imminently at risk we just send them right away to RCH [Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster] or Eagle Ridge [Hospital in Port Moody] but mostly RCH because Eagle Ridge doesn’t have a psych unit.” For more long-term counseling needs, the centre runs a depression discussion group and an after-hours crisis line. But what the Tri-Cities office doesn’t offer are suicide counseling services for people younger than 19 years old, Kim said. “Around 19 to 30 we have the early psychosis program but they don’t typically deal with non-psychosis patients.” Members of the Tri-Cities Mental Health Office have said they will attend the local Suicide Prevention Day event 1 to 3 p.m., as will members of Stand-Up for Mental Health and fellow suicide survivors. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Humourous stories make back-to-school more fun A GOOD READ irene jakse Books relate stories of good kids getting into big trouble and learning from the experience
T
here are always good and bad days at school. These chapter books aimed at the grade one to three reader relate to a variety of experiences at school. Whether it is struggling with reading or problems with homework and teachers, or making a new friend, these are all familiar topics to school-age children. The wonderful Illustrations in these books complement the written word and stimulate the imagination. • I Hate Bookss by Kate Walker Illustrated by David Cox Hamish can create some of the best stories in the world much to the great amusement of his classmates. However, this wild storytelling is his effort to hide the fact that Hamish is in Grade 3 and can’t read. He manages to fake reading until he meets the formidable Mr. Robinson in the reading room. With the help of a brilliant brother and very imaginative parents, Hamish comes to understand the importance of being able to read. • Horrible Harry in Room 2B B by Suzy Kline Illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz Every class needs a rotten kid and in this case it’s Harry. Harry with a garter snake in a box to scare the girls, Harry who offers to take treats to the school librarian... and eats the cupcake on the way. Harry eventually “horribles” himself into a very lonely position on a class field trip. Here he learns the value of true friendship and loyalty. • Silly Sausage Goes to School by Michaela Morgan Illustrated by Dee Shulman Silly Sausage is a little dog shaped just like his name. He loves his home and his family, but they don’t love him chewing their shoes, eating books, hats and a whole packet of biscuits. So it’s time for Silly Sausage to go to school ...doggie school. Will he ever learn to sit, fetch and stay? The two housecats torment him throughout, but he wants desperately to impress doggie classmate, Lola, and his family at the big contest Can he
win first prize? • Eating Enchiladas by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Illustrated by Marcy Ramsey Choosing a country to give an oral report on is a great challenge for Sarah. Should she do England and dress like the Queen? A crown and gown would be so lovely. However, after a sleepover with a friend from another
country, Sarah changes her mind. This is a wonderful story of friendships formed in early childhood and celebrating a variety of families and cultural backgrounds. • Cam Jansen and the Spotted Cat Mystery by David A. Adler Illustrated by Susanna Natti This is a cute read for the beginner about a mysterious cat found in the classroom early one morning. Where did it come from? Who does it belong to? Jennifer, aka ‘Cam’ due to her camera-like memory, solves the puzzle with some help from her classmates. A great read for kids who like a series that offers lots of adventure with a wellliked character. • Gooney the Fabulouss by Lois
Lowry Illustrated by Middy Thomas Mrs. Pidgeons’ grade two class is filled with a mix of very entertaining characters. The leader is, of course, Gooney Bird Greene. During the Christmas holiday season Gooney has the great idea of having each class member make up a fable about an animal. But, the animal must be one that begins with the first letter of the student’s name. This causes a great problem for one student. Much fun comes from guessing the moral of each of these fabulous fables. Underlying it all is the friendship shared by the children and the affectionate influence of a great teacher.

Coffee and philosophy at Leigh Square If you’re always up for a lively, thoughtful discussion, plan to be at the Gathering Place on Sept. 19. T hat’s when Por t C o q u i t l a m ’s L e i g h S q u a re C o m m u n i t y Arts Village and Simon Fraser University host the latest installment of Philosophers’ Cafe. The topic on Sept. 19 is euthanasia, according to a press release: “As more and more people live into advanced age, and more technology and phar maceuticals are available to keep them alive, the issues of euthanasia becomes more pressing.” The discussion moderator is Graham Forst, who taught philosophy and English at the university level for many years and has published widely on the subject of literary criticism. The Philosopher’s Cafe starts at 7 p.m. at 1100-2253 Leigh Sq., where it’s held the third Monday of each month. Admission is $5 per person and neither registration nor experience is required. Call
778-782-5215 or visit www.philosopherscafe. net for further information.

Antiques show comes to PoCo Is the old piece of furniture sitting in your attic a valuable vintage artifact or a dusty piece of junk? That is the question many people will be asking at the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Antiques Roadshow event at Leigh Square this month.

Back-to-school tips for dogs For many families, this is the time of back to school preparations, changes in family routines and soonto-be empty houses. Unfortunately, this chaotic time can be stressful, and potentially dangerous, for the family dog. Michelle Sevigny, creator of Dogsafe Canine First Aid (dogsafe.ca) and author of Dogsafe: Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know in an Emergency, says in a press release that during the busy back-toschool time, dogs suddenly find themselves alone for longer periods of time. However, a bit of planning ahead can reduce these risks and Sevigny urges families with dogs to remember these back to school tips: • Avoid abrupt changes and gradually introduce your dog to the new school routine. Leave your dog alone for longer periods of time before the first day of school. Slowly introduce the new morning rituals which may include banging lunch kits around in the kitchen, stacking up backpacks in the hallway and everyone leaving hastily out the front door without your dog. • Increase exercise to prevent boredom while alone. A tired dog really is a good dog. Yes, it means having to get up earlier but it beats having a chewed up couch, or worse, an injured dog, upon your return. How much exercise does your dog need? Ask yourself if your dog’s behaviour is bothersome, if the answer is yes, he needs more. • Join a dog training class which stimulates your dog’s brain and will tire him out. It will also help you re-connect with your dog during busy school months. Check out puppy and beginner classes or speciality classes such as tricks, hike n train, agility and rally-o. • Arrange canine play dates. Nothing tires out a high energy dog faster than a romp with other friendly canines. To save time, match up your children’s play dates with canine play dates at the same house or neighbourhood. • Teach your dog something new. Mental stimulation is very tiring and it’s worth repeating; a tired dog is a good dog. What can you
teach them? Anything really, but why not have them help you “hold the door open” or “pick up
the backpack” or “grab the car keys”. Mundane tasks for you become a welcome opportunity

Five family shows at ECC
JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Dave Secunda retired in June from teaching drama for the Coquitlam School District, where he had been an instructor since 1988 at Port Coquitlam high school and Centennial and Riverside secondaries.
School’s out for Secunda By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
I
t is such a treat to talk to Dave Secunda, especially for a long chat and especially in his backyard. He lives near the bottom of Thermal Drive and his garden is so peaceful and lush that it’s easy to picture him mediating there or stealing a few moments to practice yoga. He does the exercise almost daily. He has the time, now that he has retired from teaching. In June, after 23 years with the Coquitlam school district — five of them at PoCo high school, 12 at Centennial and another five at Riverside secondaries — the drama coach decided to pack it in. His daughter was a motivating factor. Joylyn Secunda plans to finish her Grade 12 a semester early, allowing her to get into the working world six months ahead of her peers. Secunda has a twinkle in his eye when he talks about Joylyn and the bond they share. Lately, she has embraced her father’s passion for Shakespeare, which he taught often to countless secondary students. And she, too, is a yogi. Joylyn is also busy taking classes with her mother, choreographer Linda Arkelian, who was usually by Secunda’s side to help him as he produced high school shows. But when Secunda reflects on his body of work, he doesn’t dwell on his two decades with the school district. Instead, he weaves great tales that start when he left his native Florida as a “draft resister.” As a teen, he had told his parents that, when the Vietnam War broke out, he would move to Canada. His mother called him crazy. “She probably thought it was unpatriotic,” he said. True to his word, after he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from the University of Florida, he said goodbye to his sister and left. That was 1970 and Secunda was 21 when he landed in Ottawa to pursue a graduate degree at
Carleton University. The peacenik never regretted his decision; in fact, he worked for a few months helping an organization in Canada that assisted other draft resisters. While working on his sociology thesis, Secunda packed his bags again, this time spending a year at a kibbutz in Israel. He remembers the journey there well: While transferring in London, he sat next to a 17-yearold Jewish girl on the airplane who asked him to get some boxes past customs once they arrived; in return, he could stay in her village until he got settled. Secunda complied but, as it turned out, he had smuggled in banned sewing machines. Luckily, he wasn’t caught but the girl got an earful when she returned home, he said. After the year abroad, Secunda was back in Ottawa and working on a number of research projects with Carleton professors including John Porter, one of Canada’s most important sociologists who, in 1965, published The Vertical Mosaic: An Analysis of Social Class and Power in Canada. In another research study, Secunda spent time with juvenile delinquents in outdoor camps, assessing their behaviours while working as a group. But in his spare time, Secunda made masks. When the masks garnered favourable reviews in his first group exhibit, “I thought, ‘I should do more of this,’” he said, and so he held solo displays. With the help of some theatrical friends, Secunda included the masks in a performance; it, too, did well, as did a show at the 1978 international sculpture symposium. They took the act to Harbourfront Centre in Toronto and included war canoes. “It was a really powerful production of movement and masks,” he remembered. “There was no text. And at the end, we burned the mask.” By then, Secunda had caught the theatre bug and trained at a community college in Ottawa. He toured with two of his teachers, the latter for two years. “People liked the masks because they were highly visible.” He formed a theatre company, then another called Theatre of Giants, which got a booking at Expo
‘86 in Vancouver. For the Giants shows, he sometimes employed dancers from the Theatre Ballet of Canada in Ottawa during the summer in exchange for using the group’s rehearsal space. Arkelian was one of the dancers. After the Expo gig, the pair decided to move to B.C. She got a job with the now-defunct Anna Wyman Dance Theatre company while Secunda taught theatre to First Nations actors via Vancouver Community College. In the meantime, he studied at UBC, working on his master’s degree in art and theatre education; he was conferred in 1989, a year after he won a teaching post with the Coquitlam school district. When he’s asked to name his favourite high school production, Secunda doesn’t take long to answer. “I was in my third year [at PoCo high] and we did Hair,” he said. “It was about the Vietnam War and I didn’t like the way American Indians were being portrayed in the script so we wrote a 15-minute scene about American imperialism to replace the original four-minute version. We had the school musicians write music to it, too.” Today, he continues to be in contact with two of that show’s actors: Michelle Monteith, who is now a T.V. and stage actress, and Richard Bell, who wrote and directed 18, which was narrated by Ian McLellan. Friend and fellow yogi Diana Clark, the artistic director of Coastal Sound Music Academy, said Secunda “was doing things back then that no one else was doing in school theatre: incorporating modern dance, puppetry and those big woven masks,” she said. “Every show was completely mind-blowing.” As for his retirement, Secunda wants to do more theatre, perhaps with some current and past SD43 teachers. The retired ones “tell me that summer is like any other summer but when Labour Day comes, it hits you that you’re not going back to school. I don’t know how I’ll feel,” he said. “I may miss it. But I’ve got a lot going on.” jwarren@tricitynews.com
Parents and caregivers looking to introduce their kids to the theatre scene have five matinees to choose from at C o q u i t l a m ’s E v e r g r e e n Cultural Centre for the upcoming arts season. The family series at the City C e n t re f a c i l i t y kicks off Nov. 13 with At Nightfall by the Sursaut Dance Company, which tells the tale of an overworked shoemaker who leaves his shop and finds a water forest filled with magical people. Dianna David: Ta k e a C l o s e r Look runs on Jan. 29 and describes the journey of a young girl finding her way through a new school. The multi-media show is packed with hip hop dancing, clowning, miming, shadow playing and juggling. Va n c o u ve r Opera in Schools hosts Hansel & Gretell on March 4 that will appeal to Harry Potter and Twilight fans. And Maritime Marionettes presents the Bremen Town Musicians on March 25, featuring a puppet story about an aging donkey wants to be a musician. Finally, Flyin’ Bob: Be the Circus, a one-man, threering circus, happens on May 6 with juggling, clowning, uncycling, acrobatic and wire walking tricks. D av i d M a n n , Evergreen’s performing arts manager, said he enjoys programming the family series. “Kids today may be exposed to a lot of onscreen entertainment, but there is nothing as exciting as live performance,” he see ANNI.

PM to pour money into a heritage fountain at PMAC A fountain that was donated by the family of a Port Moody pioneer will be restored this month by the city. The fountain, located in front of the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. John’s St.) that used to be the old city hall, was given to the city in 1960 by the Unless family in memory of Henry Ungless, who had been a volunteer with the Salvation Army since 1918 and was known around town as the Apostle. The fountain was turned off in 2009 after it sprung a leak. City spokesperson Leslyn Johnson said the work, which is scheduled to last for a month, will include removing the structure, building a new pad and restoring the fountain with its original stones and plaque.

‘I’m the tortured, anguished artist’ THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Jim Keayes spent his professional life dealing with absolutes. As a young man in Sydney, Australia, he was a civil engineer drawing buildings, a job he admits he hated. Later, when he moved to Canada, he toiled as a stockbroker, sitting behind a computer and tossing about numbers. In his spare time, he painted realistic subjects, which also bored him. But one day, creativity took over and he splashed acrylics on a canvas. “I thought, ‘Wow, I could like this’ so I started painting abstracts.” The genre freed Keayes, allowing him to concentrate more on colour and composition rather than copying detail. In his latest series that started in 2009, which he’ll show in part at a solo exhibit, called Abstract & Landscapes, at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts this month, the self-taught artist works with dark backg rounds and adds bright colours. He doesn’t have any idea what the result will be when starts, he said. Instead, he lets his imagination wander as the paint sets. “I put it on with a knife and

see where it takes me,” he said, adding, “My art is about this great joy I feel around colour and form.... It makes me feel so good when something comes out that I really like.” Still, he’s stressed when a piece goes sideways. “When I paint, sometimes it’s great but, most of the times, it takes my soul away,” the Burnaby resident said, half laughing. “It just eats me up. Definitely, I’m the tortured, anguished artist because, if it doesn’t work out, I’m devastated for days.” • Starting tomorrow, Keayes’ will have 15 abstracts in the Mezzanine Gallery at Place des Arts while Jennifer McAuley will exhibit her Landscapes of Suburbia collection in the Leonore Peyton Salon. PdA teachers and staff will display their work, called Art Feats, in the Atrium Gallery.

6 months ago Jonathan Wei turned a long time dream into reality. Tucked in the North-West outside corner of Henderson Place Mall (near Quiznos), is where you’ll find his vision. The North House Restaurant brings back a dab of nostalgia to anyone who called North China or Taiwan home. Jonathan thinks that food is one of the fondest memories and I for one think he is right. Just think of your hometown and what you still crave when you think of going back! This is what prompted him to fulfill his mission and dare I say, he’s accomplished it well! You don’t have to be from North China or Taiwan to enjoy the food here though. It is all scrumptious! The authentic menu is as diverse as it is extensive! Let’s start with Northern Chinese Dim Sum. They of course have

the ever popular Pork Pot Stickers, Steamed, deep fried and Grilled Buns, but here’s an interesting twist: Chinese Pancakes! These are light and flakey, lightly fried and come filled with Green Onion, Beef, or Sweet Red Bean Paste for dessert. Very tasty! For soups, Jonathan recommends the Spicy and Sour Soup or the Taiwanese House Special Beef Noodle Soup. A perfect warm-up for the Fall weather that will hit us sooner than we’d like! The House Specialty is their spectacular Fried Rice and the most popular dish is their Shanghai Thick Fried Noodles, followed closely by Taiwanese Crispy Chicken! Other very popular dishes are the XO Sauce Fried Rice Noodles, Beef Broccoli and Kung Pao Chicken. There are 12 choices of Hot Pots including Schezuan Style Sliced Beef in Red Hot Soup and a Fresh Tofu and Meat Ball Hot Pot and numerous other chicken, duck, beef and pork and seafood specialties as well vegetarian fare! For Seafood the Customers rave about stir fried Basa with aromatic green onions & chilli peppers. (You can turn up or down the heat on any of their dishes) At North House they make their own Tofu for their infamous Ma Po Tofu! This is served with a Black Bean Sauce or a mild Chili Sauce. Another Vegetarian choice that sounds delightful is their Fried Eggplant with Potato and Peppers in a Dark or Chili sauce. As is evident, the choices are endless and every one seems yummier than the last. By the way the prices are right too! The Lunch Special starts at $4.50! Go ahead and taste for yourself! You’ll join the North House’s growing crowd of loyal followers and soon be adding this little gem to your own memory bank!

Coq. cyclist gears up for 500 km journey By Mario Bartel BLACK PRESS
The last time Ward Saito rode a bicycle for 100 kilometres, there was no grey in his hair. Beginning Sept. 21, he’ll ride that distance for five consecutive days. Saito, a Coquitlam resident who operates the Canadian Tire on Grandview Highway in Vancouver, just west of Boundary Road, will be riding 500 kms up Vancouver Island and down the Sunshine Coast to help raise money and awareness for Jumpstart, the retailers’ program to help kids participate in community sports. “It’s a little intimidating,” says Saito of the distance. A regular bike commuter, Saito’s set aside his heavy hybrid bike for a sleek lightweight carbon Cervélo racing bike on which he’s been training for a couple of months. In addition to logging long hours in the saddle, his rides have included arduous climbs up the North Shore mountains to steel his legs for the rigors of the road. He’ll be joined on the ride by store operators and company executives from across Canada. They’ll visit stores along the way, where managers have organized community events like safety rodeos, bike inspections and maintenance clinics, local rides,
IN QUOTES
“One-third of kids can’t afford to enter sports. If they can’t participate in sports, it’s a lifestyle issue that hurts their self-esteem.” Ward Saito barbecues and bike decorating contests. The tour wraps up on Sept.25 with a Pedal Festival at the Vancouver store on 2290 Cambie St. It’s an active effort to help get kids active, says Saito. “One-third of kids can’t afford to enter sports. If they can’t participate in sports, it’s a lifestyle issue that hurts their self-esteem.” Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program has helped more than 100,000 kids get involved with sports in the past five years by paying for registrations, transportation costs or purchasing equipment. And because the company covers all costs for administering and promoting the program, all the money raised goes directly to the kids. For more information about Jumpstart go to www.canadiantire.ca/jumpstart.

Bandits blitzed at Sr. B Cup
One tie in six games was the best the Port Moody Bandits could muster at last week’s President’s Cup Sr. ‘B’ national lacrosse tournament in Cornwall, Ont. After suffering through five straight defeats, the four-time reigning B.C.-champion Bandits knotted New York’s Newtown Golden Eagles 9-9 Saturday to wrap up the seven-team event in last place. Cam Patterson rifled in six goals for the Bandits, who entered the tourney minus half their regular players because, primarily, they were saddled with work commitments. S t . Re g i s B r ave s downed the host Snake Island Muskies –– featuring ex-Coquitlam Sr. ‘A’ Adanac players Josh Sanderson and Rusty Kruger –– 11-8 to win the championship. Sanderson was later chosen the tourney’s MVP. The roster-depleted Bandits were totally outmatched by the Muskies in the round-robin, falling 22-6 last Wednesday, when Sanderson whipped in four goals and added six assists. On Friday, however, the Bandits battled the eventual-champion Braves to the end, falling 9-6 with Tom Seeman netting two goals. Other results saw the Bandits lose 11-8 to the Kahnawake Mohawks, 22-6 to the St. Albert Miners and 14-10 to the St. Catherines Saints.
