Web weapon against rioters Port Coquitlam man sets up a site to help identify criminals By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS

When images of rioters overturning mailboxes and setting cars on fire began to fill their TV screens and social media sites, most people watched in frustration. Port Coquitlam’s Dave Teixeira registered a website domain name. Twenty-four hours and a quarter of a million hits later, www.canucksriot2011.com has become an outlet for people who want to post their photos and videos of rioters, in hopes of helping police identify the culprits responsible for violence, theft and property damage. So far, more than 100 images have been posted and Teixeira is encouraging people to go to the site and tag anyone committing a crime who may look familiar. “People who are upset with what happened are turning over their data,” Teixeira said.

A spokesperson for the B.C. Conservation Officer Service is recommending farmers erect electric fences around beehives and blueberry crops to keep out bears. But he says bow hunters who shot a bear on a Coquitlam blueberry farm last week were within their rights. Const. Murray Smith said a hunter was issued with a $115 fine for not cancelling his hunting tag indicating he had shot a bear, a minor infraction, but had his hunting licence in order and had permission to bow hunt bears on property on Oliver Road last week. see ‘HUNTERS U S CO-OPERATIVE, CO O ,’ page g 14

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

igh school graduates across School District 43 are closing their binders for the last time, cleaning out lockers and, in some cases, heading off to far-flung places. But some will travel farther than others. International students from Asia, Europe, South America and other places will likely be returning home before continuing on with post-secondary education, and many will be sad to leave. For these students — some of whom struggled with English at first — the hardest part of high school was making friends. Now, leaving these friends behind will be the hardest part of graduating, some of these students say. “I’ll be so sad when I go back,” said Tomoe Nakamura, 18, who will return to her family in Tokyo in July and go to university in Japan in the fall. “I can send messages,” she says, “but I can’t actually see them.” Facebook and email are good, Nakamura said, but they are not as good as being with her friends. She loves pizza and will miss that, too. “It’s not as good in Japan,” she says. Fiona Dong, 18, who’s heading back home to Shanghai, will also miss her friends when she leaves June 24 and is also nervous about going to university in Ottawa in the fall. “It will be a new start,” she says, but notes, “It was always the goal.” It wasn’t easy for Dong to convince her parents to allow her to study abroad. She’s an only child, the result of China’s one-child

JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tomoe Nakamura of Tokyo, Japan and Fiona Dong of Shanghai, China are among 146 international students expected to graduate this year from Tri-City public schools. policy, and her mom and dad were worried. But they found her a place to stay with her mother’s university friend and Dong didn’t let them down. She studied hard, even retaking Physics 12 at night school to improve her grades, and will be going to university on scholarship. Both Dong and Nakamura managed to complete Grade 11 and 12 in two years, which is a challenge when English isn’t your first language. Nakamura’s mom was behind her decision to complete her schooling in Canada but it was a stretch financially and emotionally for the Japanese widow. And the culture shock Nakamura faced at first gave her some doubts.

“I was like, how can I make some friends? I learned it’s important to start a conversation,” she said. “I talked to random students and started to make friends here. Now, I’m kind of sad to graduate.” Meanwhile, Dong took ESL classes to improve her English and even became a peer tutor in Math. But learning English and getting good marks wasn’t all they achieved. The two say they came to understand Canadian culture and to appreciate the differences between people here and those at home. For example, Canadians are more multicultural and relaxed, Nakamura said; they don’t judge people by how they look and the

family she lived with was always cracking jokes. “They were very entertaining,” she said. Dong was struck more by the differences in food. “Sandwiches, French fries, pizza, hot wings,” she listed off as some of her favourite North American dishes. Another high point for the two Pinetree graduates was the dinner and dance May 27 at the Westin Bayshore hotel. The girls wore prom dresses and danced until midnight, taking pictures of themselves and all their friends. “I had the best time ever,” Nakamura said. “It’s the first time I ever went to a party like that.” With that milestone behind them, there has been a blur of activity until a plane carries them home. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Pinetree teacher & kids are ready to rock It may be classic rock to some parents — and their preferred choice of music — but it’s history to today’s teens and a Pinetree Social Studies teacher hopes to make it come alive with a new course offering this fall. Jim Thompson has written a curriculum for a History of Rock and Roll course and the fact that two classes have already signed up is music to his ears. “This gives them another avenue to explore music,” said Thompson, who explained the course was developed for students who enjoy music but don’t play an instrument. He hopes to teach them the roots and social conditions that gave rise to rock music and he spent months developing the course from various sources, including documentary materials and even YouTube. “There’s a lot of students that like music but never got into the music department,” said Thompson, who thinks the students will benefit from learning about rock music’s early beginnings from jazz and gospel, to its social context in the African-American civil

IN QUOTES

“There’s a lot of students that like music but never got into the music department... This gives them another avenue to explore music.” Jim Thompson, a teacher at Pinetree secondary school, on his History of Rock & Roll course recently approved by SD43 rights and anti-war movements. Other topics will include the British invasion, the music industry, hard rock and heavy metal — even disco. The course will be taught daily during the semester and students will finish with a project that will demonstrate their knowledge. Thompson said it will fill the niche for students who still have room for electives after having completed all the others in their area of interest. The History of Rock and Roll was one of

several new courses the board of education approved Tuesday. Two others revolve around sports after the success of hockey academies that have run successfully at Centennial and Riverside secondary schools for the past two years. A Hockey Coaching and Development 12 course has been developed for those two schools using Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam ice arenas, and will expand on Hockey Skills 10 and 11. Meanwhile, Gleneagle secondary will be offering Sports Medicine 11 to introduce students to the basics of sports training and sports injury prevention and recovery. Students will learn sports first aid, taping, anatomy and physiology of sports injuries, among other things. An independent studies course, Law 12: Introduction to Policing, was also approved, as was a new course called Urban First Nations 12: Expressing Your Truth that is being piloted at CABE (Coquitlam Alternative Basic Education) and will promote self-discovery and learning about traditional and First Nations culture. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

$500k for SD43 The harmonized sales tax might be a divisive topic in some quarters but Tri-City school trustees decided to take a pass on discussing the controversial tax Tuesday after it was pointed out that it’s actually saving School District 43 money. According to officials, the district will get a rebate of $500,000 on the purchase of goods and services this year and further savings are predicted if the HST isn’t axed and rate decreases are introduced as promised. The savings could be as much as $78,000 for each 1% drop in the HST, the board of education was told. Trustees decided not to comment on the information presented by assistant secretary treasurer Bob Janzen. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Savings from seismic repairs to Miller Park elementary school are being passed on to build a larger replacement school for James Park elementary in Port Coquitlam. More money is needed, the School District 43 board of education was told Tuesday, to build a school large enough to house full-day and pre-kindergarten classes as well as a neighbourhood of learning centre (a hub for health and child services) and a Strong Start pre-school program. The new James Park elementary, now under construction at 1761 Westminster Ave. in Port Coquitlam, will now cost $16 million, instead of the $13 million originally planned. About $3 million was saved in repairs to Coquitlam’s Miller Park because of lower construction costs, the board was told. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

School District 43 is about to take possession of a steeply-sloped piece of property for the longawaited Burke Mountain secondary school. B u t m u ch wo rk lies ahead before a school will rise on the 5.75-hectare property between Coast Meridian and Soball Street in Coquitlam’s fast-growing northeast, school officials say. Tuesday, the SD43 board of education was informed that paperwork is being finalized to transfer the property from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources to the Ministry of Education. The value of the property isn’t being released and the land swap is merely a journal entry in the province’s books, said secretary treasurer Rick Humphreys, but the deal is progress for the school even though it will cost the district $35,000 in legal costs. “This has been many years in the making,” Humphreys told trustees. The district must now build a business case for the school based on current and predicted enrolment for the community, slated to house more than 26,000 people, and once that is approved, a report is needed to determine the scope and cost of the project. Some preliminary work has been done to make sure a school, parking and playing fields would fit on the site but more details need to be worked out with the city of Coquitlam, which is a partner in the project and owns a swath of land immediately adjacent to the school district portion. Frank Giampa, the d i s t r i c t ’s a s s i s t a n t secretary-treasurer for facilities and planning services, said much time has elapsed since the project was first discussed with the city and the district needs to make sure Coquitlam is still interested. “We haven’t had this discussion, we need to review it with the city as to what this thing will be,” Giampa said. What is known is that the new building would have to be built to LEED (Leadership in Environmental Design) Gold standards to include the latest environmental practices, and projections are for 1,200 students, although that could change. It’s likely the property will be terraced, with exits onto Soball Street,

Road closures and talks A number of night-time ramp closures along Highway 1 in Coquitlam will begin next week as crews work to complete the roadways leading up to the new Port Mann bridge. The westbound on-ramp to the freeway from the Mary Hill Bypass, the Highway 1-toLougheed Highway off-ramp and the Coleman Avenue on-ramp will be affected. The closures are expected to take place between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., with 48-hour notice provided to motorists over electronic message boards. By closing off the sections of road, crews will be able to complete the approaches for two new overpasses, providing dedicated connections from the new bridge to the Lougheed Highway eastbound and westbound. New ramps will also provide direct access from the Mary Hill Bypass to the freeway. While the work is being conducted, vehicles will be detoured north along United Boulevard to the Lougheed Highway, entering Highway 1 at the Coleman Avenue on-ramp.

Speak up on Burke plans Coquitlam residents will get a chance to weigh in on the development of a Burke Mountain neighbourhood during an open house next week. The Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan reached a new milestone with the drafting of an integrated watershed management plan, which will be presented to the public next Tuesday. The neighbourhood plan will guide the city in making land use plans for the northeast Coquitlam neighbourhood for the next 25 years and define the type and location of housing and commercial buildings. The document is also expected to identify natural and recreation areas and outline pedestrian and cycling networks. Partington Creek encompasses the area on either side of Victoria D r ive b u m p i n g u p against Pinecone Burke Mountain Park in the nor th, Minnekhada Regional Park to the east the city of Port Coquitlam to the south. Planners will look to address issues concerning the conservation of ecological integrity and plan for a sustainable, mixed-use neighbourhood centre. Plans will also be included for needed community facilities. Those who wish to attend the open house are invited to Leigh elementary school (1230 Soball Rd.) between 5 and 9 p.m. June 21.

Speak up! You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com

Drivers travelling further west should also be aware of closures to the Sprott Street and Kensington Avenue highway crossings next week. Starting June 20, night-time detours will take place between midnight and 4 a.m., weather permitting. More news:

An 80-year-old man remains in serious condition with several broken bones after he was struck by a car Tuesday night while crossing St. Johns Street in Port Moody. Const. Luke van Winkel of Port Moody Police Department told The Tri-City News that at approximately 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, the man was running across St. Johns at Moody Street against the red light.

“An eastbound Pontiac station wagon was proceeding through the intersection on a green light and was unable to stop,” van Winkel said. The man was rushed to hospital with serious injuries and was still there Thursday morning. Neither speed nor alcohol are considered contributing factors in the accident and no charges will be laid against the driver. The name of the injured man has not been released pending notification of his family, van Winkel said. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Reform voting

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

Q WHAT WE THINK:

he harmonized sales tax may not be everyone’s cup of tea and voting for or against it comes with its own problems. Not only is the referendum question confusing to a majority of people, according to recent surveys, but the entire mail-in ballot process was at risk because of the postal workers’ dispute. The federal government is stepping in on Monday, but it still seems odd that in this era of high-tech solutions that snail mail is still the only way for people to vote on this controversial tax. Perhaps the dilemma posed by the postal dispute will force senior levels of government to finally think seriously about moving to online voting. Making it easy and convenient to vote using mobile devices such as smart phones or other technology would seem to be a no-brainer to counter the consistent downward trend in voter turn-out. Online voting, whether by computer or mobile device, is an idea whose time has come and worth the effort by various levels of government to work out the bugs and security issues.

Linda Kozina, the local face of hospice care, retires AS I SEE IT Ted Kuntz

t the end of this month, a woman who was responsible for introducing a new idea into our community will retire. On June 30, Linda Kozina will retire as hospice manager for Crossroads Hospice at Inlet Centre in Port Moody. Today, we accept the need for hospice care and feel great pride in this beautiful resource in our community. This was not always the case. It wasn’t that long ago that the idea of hospice care and providing services to the dying were taboo topics. But during Linda’s tenure as hospice volunteer, then executive director and finally as hospice manager, our ideas and receptivity to hospice care changed dramatically. While hospice care has been Linda’s primary focus for the last 19 years, it wasn’t always the centre of her world. Linda had a life before hospice, a very different life. Linda worked as a customer service representative with Canada Trust. In her spare time, she volunteered with a fledgling organization known

as Crossroads Hospice Society. Crossroads worked out of a small space in the basement of Eagle Ridge Hospital and provided support services to individuals and their families who were dealing with end-of-life matters. At that time, individuals with a terminal condition were dispersed through out the hospital, their location determined by their affliction. Crossroads volunteers would roam the hospital day and night offering support, information, assistance and refreshments to those in their final days. Linda’s passion was ignited in 1992 by the desire to assist families of young children with a parent who was near death. Linda would assist the family in creating a “memory album” that contained the images, thoughts and memories of a soon-to-be-deceased parent. Using her scrapbooking talents, Linda would craft beautiful works of art to assist children to remember their parents. It was this exposure to hospice care that captured Linda’s heart. When Crossroads put out a call in 1999 for its first executive director to help lead the young organization, Linda answered. Of all the applicants, Linda was the least experienced in administration and fundraising, two of the skills deemed essential for the position, but what she

TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,146 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

lacked in skills she more than made up in passion. Her unwavering enthusiasm and belief in the need for hospice care persuaded the hiring committee that she was the person for the job. Linda left her safe and secure position in banking and moved courageously into the world of not-for-profit societies. Still, the community was not ready to embrace hospice care. Many of Linda’s initial requests to speak to service clubs, business organizations and other potential sources of funding were refused. “No one wants to hear about dying people,” was the common response. Linda persisted. Patiently, passionately and persuasively, she shared the stories and dreams of hospice care. She was even bold enough to dream about a free-standing hospice that would move the dying from the chaos of the hospital environment and place them in as home-like environment as possible. The harsh reality at the time was that 90% of people died on a hospital ward with only a curtain to separate them from other patients undergoing treatment. Linda wanted her family, friends and fellow citizens to die with more dignity, more choice, and more compassion. Over the next few years, Linda became the face of Crossroads and, with her generous spirit

and gregarious nature, built relationships with the community. Eventually, Linda’s dream and passion ignited a fire within the community. In 2003, Crossroads garnered enough support to build this region’s first free-standing hospice at the corner of Ungless Way and Noon’s Creek Drive in Port Moody. When the hospice opened, the need existed for a hospice manager. Linda stepped aside as executive director and filled this new role with courage and commitment. Today, Crossroads has become a high-profile resource in our community. Hundreds of our family, friends and neighbours have taken their final breaths while nestled in the comfort of the hospice and surrounded by their loved ones. We are fortunate to have this beautiful resource in our community. Many who are familiar with the quality of hospice care in other communities have remarked that the Tri-Cities has one of the most beautiful facilities in all of Canada. This is due in no small measure to the effort, dedication and heart of Linda Kozina. Happy retirement, Linda, and thank you for this gift of choice, dignity, and compassionate care you have brought to our community.

FACE TO FACE: Should the posties be able to strike to back their demands?

Strike isn’t in public interest S

orry to disappoint all my red-meat readers but I won’t be “going postal” over the ongoing postal strike. And neither will I be “mailing it in” to outline the reasons for my opinion on the matter. Of course, it would be easy enough to oppose the economically destructive strike on multiple grounds related to the generous provisions of the deal the strikers are trying to protect, including the workers’ high starting salaries, their ability to bank sick days and their right to retire with a full pension at age 55. These factors have certainly led many people to side with management at Canada Post and not the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. But it’s clear to me that, under the current system, the union has every right to fight for every penny of pay and every extra day of paid time off. The problem is that the current system simply doesn’t serve the public interest. Specifically, it is unreasonable and against the public interest to allow government workers of this sort to strike. Private sector-workers should certainly have the right to walk off the job to support their collective

demands. And so, too, should government workers in sectors where there is competition with privatesector workers. But if a service is so important that it must be provided by government on an exclusive basis, then it must also be considered important enough for lawmakers to ensure that service is delivered without interruption. Conversely, if a service is not so important as to ensure its uninterrupted delivery, then the government should question why it’s in the business in the first place. My colleague’s knee will likely be jerking rather acutely now but this is the predictable response of a person who sees nothing wrong with a group of workers’ ability to blackmail the public to back up contract demands. But this ability clearly works against the public interest. And anyone doubting the union’s commitment to serving its own interests first should read a few lines from its constitution. “CUPW,” the document declares, “rejects all forms of trade unionism that fail to pose the basic division between the interests of workers and the interests of the employer.” So much for “public” service.

Goodbye to Arthritis Pain. Experience the beneﬁts of

Laser Light Therapy Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Get mad about the bailouts W

hy do we go postal when Canadian Postal workers ask for a 3.5% wage increase and no contract clawbacks? Why do we instinctively vilify the union as it struggles to prevent its members’ wages and working conditions from being Walmarted? Why do we continue to tut-tut the aspirations of workers and blame them for our country’s economic woes? Inordinate wage and benefit demands are not responsible for the economic woes of North America yet we continuously decry attempts to achieve and maintain reasonable wages and working conditions. My right-to-work colleague, still excited about the union-busting successes in the U.S.A., wants this benign postal dispute to be a beachhead for an attack on Canadian public sector unions. He thinks they somehow bear culpability for hurting our economy by gobbling up government revenues and not living like paupers as they should. Nonsense. According to Canada Free Press, Canadian governments gave grants and bailouts totalling $203 billion to corporations between 1994 and 2007, the equivalent of $30,000 per Canadian family. Did we complain or even whimper? No. Yet the spectre of

Osteoarthritis in Knee

Hand & Finger Arthritis

“I was recently diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my right knee. Pain meds were not helping and I was experiencing trouble going up and down stairs. “...When I read about Laser (Therapy) I decided to give it a try! The treatment was very comfortable...I found relief after just a few treatments” “...I am completely pain free now and stairs are not a problem!” Mrs. S. Beattie

I started having pain in my right hand - the little ﬁnger was stiff and pain radiated below it and down the outside of my hand. When the pain worsened I consulted my medical doctor , who informed me it was arthritis. Massage and a heated pad gave me some pain relief but it was becoming increasingly difﬁcult to use my hand. A friend recommended cold laser therapy treatments...the treatments were gentle and relaxing and after a few treatments the stiffness and pain reduced. After completing 10 treatments the pain was gone and over the next 2 weeks I noticed the occasional remaining stiffness had gone also. In such a short time my hand had returned to normal

Knee Arthritis

HOW IT WORKS Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safely penetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformed into biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

public employee unions struggling to maintain their working conditions somehow makes our blood boil. How about taking a billion or so from the corporate giveaway department to maintain the posties’ wages and avoid Canada Post increasing of the price of stamps, which it threatens to do should the union prevail. Does it not seem a bit ridiculous that Canadians happily coughed up $30,000 per family to bail out corporations yet we whine about paying a few cents more for a stamp? My colleague bemoans the lofty status of public employees: Posties make $26 per hour! They shouldn’t have collective bargaining rights! They should work for what we, their employers, decide to pay them! He incites private sector workers to rise up against the wrong foe. The real problem is that the private sector should offer good wages and pensions, too. Canada Post is offering 1.9%, effectively a wage cut. It wants an 18% lower starting wage for newly hired workers. It wants a slashed pension plan, a 30% reduction in sick leave and the cancellation of the 900 hours-equals-tenure clause. Come on, Canada Post, this isn’t Wisconsin.

“I read in the newspaper about the possibility of treating my disease with laser light therapy... I set an appointment and I started to see the “miracle”....... it was a reality, every session helped me with less pain in my knee. I recommend everyone to use this trusty procedure with no pain, no drugs or side effects in good and friendly environment.” TIBI (AGE 55)

Hip Arthritis I have lived with the unbearable pain of Osteo- Arthritis all of my life. As I have gotten older, my OA has spread to all my joints. I sought out Laser treatment as everything else didn’t work. “I no longer have pain from my hip to the knee. This is such as miracle for me and I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s FABULOUS!” Carla Brown (age 61)

Eve Fox (age 66)

Knee Arthritis I was diagnosed with serious arthritis in both knees. My knees started to get weak, stiff and sore. I developed a limp and the knee pain was interfering with my game, sleep and my mechanical services work for life. I have had 6 half hour treatments for each knee and I can’t believe the results. Now after tennis I feel almost no knee pain or stiffness and can sleep without pain pills. My limp problems have also disappeared. Laser treatment has been a miracle for me and I’m enjoying my favourite sports and life again as I hope you will too.

Ankle Arthritis “I have a lower back problem, osteoarthritis in my knees, and a lot of foot injury. After my carpal tunnel laser light therapy which was very helpful over a year ago, I thought to try it on all the above mentioned spots. I can walk down the stairs again, started cross-country skiing again (not too much at ﬁrst) but nothing hurts. If any pain returns, I will try it again.” E.N. (Age 78)

Shoulder & Elbow Arthritis I have been suffering from severe arthritis on my right shoulder and elbow. With limited range of motion, even simple actions such as putting food in the mouth became very difﬁcult. After a series of low laser therapy at Tri-City Chiropractic Inc., my shoulder and elbow saw great improvement. My range of motion improved signiﬁcantly and life is easier and pain free. M.

Shoulder Arthritis I am ninety ﬁve years of age and had been experiencing constant neck and shoulder pain for some time. I can cope with only a minimum of discomfort as part of my problem is arthritic. After ten laser treatments in Dr. Bennett’s clinic I was no longer enduring the chronic ache and pain which had beset me for so long. P.G. (95)

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Mayors’ hands are tied The Editor, In light of MP James Moore’s admonition that Lower Mainland cities need to provide regional funding in support of the Evergreen Line, it is important to clarify a key fact. When the provincial government restructured TransLink, it didn’t give the region’s mayors the power to propose regional funding solutions. The act spells out very strict parameters regarding regional funding for transportation infrastructure. The act also ties the mayors’ hands in that funding sources are very narrowly defined. The act includes a detailed approval process that severely limits the mayors’ role. The province has given TransLink and a commissioner appointed by the province specific powers relative to the preparation of regional funding proposals (called supplement in the act). Once a supplement has been developed by TransLink and reviewed by the commissioner, only then can the mayors exercise their power to “approve or reject any supplement.” Lower Mainland mayors have been given the bur-

Mayor Joe Trasolini, Port Moody

Care enough about city to keep it clean The Editor, I am a concerned citizen who cleans up the outdoors on a regular basis. Recently, I have been cleaning the area around Dewdney Trunk Road between Ioco Road and Johnston Street. I have been in the area more than 60 times and taken out more than 2,000 bags of garbage by making numerous trips and using old grocery carts to carry the debris. Coquitlam city hall should be ashamed of itself for ignoring this problem and not enforcing the anti-dumping rules that are in place. I have spoken to many people at city hall and between the prob-

lem of road rights-of-way, the railway right-of-way and private property, the city seems to believe it has no role in keeping the area clean. I give freely of my time, I have never been paid and I do this because I care about the community. Hopefully, once this letter becomes public, the officials at Coquitlam city hall will acknowledge that there is a problem and do something about it. This mess is not only an eyesore but it encourages more illegal dumping. These illegal dumpers do not worry about their actions because, obviously, nobody in the city cares. Luanne Bradshaw, Burnaby

Hunters â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;co-operativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; continued from front page

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a real nefarious situation,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the hunters were â&#x20AC;&#x153;very co-operativeâ&#x20AC;? when they were questioned by conservation officers. One man reportedly shot but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kill a 250 lb. male bear with the bow and the bruin fled into bushes next to Minnekhada Regional Park, where it was spotted by hikers, who reported it to the police. Coquitlam RCMP subsequently called in the Conservation Officer Service, Smith said, and its officers tracked the bear until dusk last Thursday, then continued their search, eventually finding the bear in dense brush last Friday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next day, knowing we had a bear that was wounded, we mustered up a couple of officers to go, one with experience tracking.â&#x20AC;? The job took several hours, Smith said, because evidence of the bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movements must be identified for each step in the woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one officer said it was so hot, he was just drenched and physically exerting and it was quite rugged.â&#x20AC;? The bear was eventually shot when it was found and people were never endangered by the bow hunters, who must be close to their target (about 40 metres) when taking aim. Hunters are also required to take a 21-hour course and pass an exam before they can get a licence. He noted, however, that the hunters may have been inexperienced because an arrow shot from a modern bow is powerful enough to kill an animal. The conservation officers were called in to protect public safety and because the bear was wounded, Smith said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important not to let an animal suffer and hunters are typically required to track and finish off their kill â&#x20AC;&#x153;otherwise youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be charged with allowing the animal thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wounded to suffer. We take that very seriously and the court does, too.â&#x20AC;? H e re c o m m e n d e d that berry farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as hobby farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; having trouble with bears put up and maintain electric fences around their plants and their beehives, noting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all coexisting with wildlife.â&#x20AC;? Earlier this week, a park official said public safety wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in doubt because the bear fled outside the park grounds. But a visitor, Karri Page, who arrived at the park with her toddler shortly after the bear was shot and wounded and saw the

Royer to Metro Port Moody city manager Gaetan Royer announced Wednesday he is leaving to take a new job at Metro Vancouver. R o y e r, w h o served as city manager since 2004 and as Port Moody’s director of community services prior to that, will begin his new role Aug. 29 as Metro Vancouver’s department manager for metropolitan planning, environment and parks. The department, n ew at M e t ro, geared towards bringing regional development, regulation enforcement and air quality management under one authority. In a press release Wednesday, PoMo Mayor Joe Trasolini called Royer’s departure a “great loss” for the city and he credited Royer’s leadership in guiding the city through what he called “unprecedented growth and changes.”

PoMo wants Inlet input Articles by Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody city council voted unanimously Tuesday to ask the public what to do about Inlet Park. A redevelopment plan for the Murray Street recreation area was first accepted by city council from community services staff on Feb. 8 but councillors said at the time that even the lowest cost option of the six proposed in the plan was too expensive for the city’s five-year financial plan. The options range in building costs from $3.7 million to $7.17 million and include amenities such as a new field house, soccer fields, a softball diamond and parking stalls. Also to be discussed in the public consultation will be how to best fund the park’s operations if and when it is upgraded, including options such as soliciting private contributions or allowing corporate sponsorship. No date has been set for the public input process and it is not clear whether it would take the form of a public meeting, a series of workshops or a written questionnaire. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

‘It is just an opportunity to regain some of our pride’ continued from front page

“It is just an opportunity to regain some of our pride. What those criminals did is not indicative of all of us. Those are not hockey fans.” Teixeira launched the website with photos he collected from Twitter and Facebook. Shortly after the site went live, people began posting their own images clearly showing people smashing windows and lighting cars on fire. The large amount of traffic has crashed the site several times. Since it went live,

Teixeira said he has been fielding interview requests from around the world, including Israel and the United Kingdom. But mostly, traffic is from people who are frustrated and want to help police catch the criminals, he said. “This way the police can come in and take a look the them,” he said. Teixeira said he is aware that pictures can be misconstrued, adding that if he is contacted by someone who can explain their actions, he will remove the images. He also received several

doctored photos, which he has not posted on the site. But not all of the images show violence and destruction. Teixeira said several photos feature people trying to stop rioters and help clean up the mess. “There are people who are in the photos standing up to these criminals,” he said. “So with all the bad, there is some good.” • Those who can identify the people in the pictures are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Award for fish program

Port Moody’s “What Swims Beneath” fish habitat education program got a nod from the province’s recreation and parks association this week, winning the BCRPA program excellence award. “What Swims Beneath” is a partnership between the federal, provincial and municipal governments, and several local environmental groups such as the Burke Mountain Naturalists and Port Moody Ecological Society, to study and document the underwater species of the PoMo arm of Burrard Inlet. The BCRPA picked “What Swims Beneath” for the award for what it called the program’s creative approach to combining science, education and sustainability.

Port Moody’s y Annual Report In accordance with Section 98 of the Community Charter, Port Moody Council has prepared an annual report, which is available for public inspection under Section 97, and will have a report available for public inspection on June 15, 2011 under Section 99. The report outlines the accomplishments, activities and ﬁnancial results for 2010. It also outlines the progress we’ve made on Council’s Strategic Plan. Ask questions and give comments at the June 28 council meeting starting at 7pm in the Council Chambers (100 Newport Drive).

A Radio-Canada television crew descended on Maillardville this week to film an episode of the popular francophone television show called “La Petite Séduction,” in which a community tries to seduce an artist by showing off its attributes. This week, dozens of Coquitlam residents took part in a road hockey game (Canucks versus Canadiens), musical performances and a community barbecue to woo Daniel Lemire, a comedian (above left). “La Petite Séduction” is a tourism promotion/reality television hybrid and is based on the 2003 Quebecois film “Seducing Doctor Lewis,” in which a tiny fishing village tries to lure a doctor to take up full-time residency. The TV show started shooting soon after, featuring mostly Quebecois villages, but later extending to the Maritimes. This foray to the west cost — the show is also filming in Victoria — is new for the production.

Entrepreneur’s dreams up in smoke in PoMo? Wants to open a smoking club By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Ali Roshanravan’s dream of opening a “multicultural social club” in Port Moody is on the verge of going up in smoke as city hall’s bylaw department is scrambling to find its way through a legal haze. At issue is whether the would-be entrepreneur can open a “social

club” on St. Johns Street where live music would be played, tea served and a tobacco-free blend of aromatic herbs and dried fruit would be sold to and smoked by his customers in a traditional Persian hookah, or water pipe. Known throughout much of the world as “shisha” lounges, their existence dates back for hundreds of years in Persian, Arabic and Indian cultures and they populate many multiethnic neighbourhoods in Toronto and Montreal.

But their potential existence in Port Moody is in a grey area, at least for now. Roshanravan, who holds a business degree from Oxford University and for merly owned Cucina Rustica in Port Coquitlam, has chosen a St. Johns Street location and has the blessing of the building’s owner, Lorrie Morse. He has even chosen a name for the club — Darvish — and said he would have a construction crew in overnight if he could just get ap-

allow for it if it were a private smoking club, but likely not if it were a commercial business. But that “private club” allowance may likely be overturned as city staff look at ventilation and second-hand smoke concerns around such operations before returning to council with their recommendations in the

coming weeks. In the meantime, Roshanravan said he is prepared to fill Port Moody’s June 28 council meeting with scores of supporters who want a hookah lounge in Port Moody but if his proposal is rejected, he’ll take his business elsewhere. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Popularity of cycling behind new training club Port Coquitlam is club one of several being hosted throughout the Lower Mainland By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A new cycling club takes off in the TriCities tomorrow (Saturday) with a mandate to teach new riders to go the distance. Created by Cycling BC in partnership with bike shops in Vancouver, North Vancouver as well as Port Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Capâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westwood Cycle, the new CycleFit courses are an answer to the exploding popularity of long-distance cycling events such as the Enbridge Ride To Conquer Cancer and the RBC GranFondo Whistler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year that [Whistler] event sold out so quickly and it got people excited about getting on their road bikes,â&#x20AC;? said CycleFit spokeswoman Darnelle Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before that if you wanted to road bike, you were either just riding around by yourself or you had to race.â&#x20AC;? Pointing to the 7,000 cyclists who are already expected at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GranFondo Whistler compared to 4,000 participants last year, Moore called road biking â&#x20AC;&#x153;the new golf.â&#x20AC;?

KMS Tools goes back in time with car show

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of middle-aged men in Lycra around and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in the latest technology and all the fancy gear,â&#x20AC;? she said. But that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intimidate new riders from getting into the sport, and the goal of the CycleFit clubs is to provide entry for the everyman and -woman to the seemingly elite world of distance cycling. Broken into CycleFit 1 and 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the second being for those who are in great physical shape but are new to road biking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 12-week courses take new riders through the rules and etiquette of road biking while building enough confidence, fitness and

endurance to tackle a long, mass-participation event like a gran fondo. Josh Huston of Capâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westwood Cycle will be leading the team of new recruits from the PoCo store on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. for what he expects will be an easy 45-minute to one-hour ride, eventually progressing through the summer to three- and four-hour tours of the Tri-Cities. Registration for the courses is $150 and includes the 12-week training plan, 10 guided road sessions and road-cycling booklet. To register, call Capâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westwood Cycle at 604-941-7822 or visit cyclingbc.net. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

SATURDAY, JUNE 18 ONLY!

Remember the days of back-seat bingo or dragging for pink slips? For all the cool cats out there who are looking to for something hip to do this weekend, KMS Tools (110 Woolridge St., Coquitlam) wants to take you down memory lane with its 16th annual KMS Tools Charity Show and Shine, to be held Saturday, June 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. With more than 200 pre-1972 cherry screamers (hot rods), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a favourite show for many car buffs. Show cars are travelling from all corners of British Columbia to participate in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the thousands of dollars in cool prizes to be won for both car exhibitors and spectators. The KMS annual Show and Shine is one of the most successful fundraisers for Team Mexico. Funds raised from this show will help them build houses and schools in less privileged parts of Mexico.

Nature helps control invasive plants GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds Invasive plants are intro’d by humans, who need some help getting rid of them

ometimes our beautiful natural spaces are no longer quite as “natural” as they might appear because they have been taken over by invasive species. Among animals, invasive species include grey squirrels, which are sometimes black, native to eastern Canada and were released in Stanley Park, from which they have spread. The starling is a non-native bird introduced from England in the eastern U.S.A. over a century ago and is now common in urban areas across North America. The plant world includes a number of species with similarly invasive tendencies. These include Himalayan blackberry, giant hogweed, lamium, knotweed and several others (for more information, see www.invasiveplantcouncilbc.ca). It’s important to note non-native species are not always a problem. Our gardens typically contain many non-native plants that add beauty and often provide some benefit to wildlife as well. But some non-native plant species are so aggressive in their growth that they crowd out beneficial native species and create an extensive monoculture that truly alters the landscape, displaces native species and diminishes ecological values. Because of their forceful growth habits, invasive plants can be extremely difficult to eradicate. But due to increasing awareness of this problem, some municipalities and many volunteer groups are now working to eradi-

RUTH FOSTER PHOTO

Knotweed, of which three very similar species are found in the Lower Mainland, has reddish bamboolike stems with nodes from which new growth can easily sprout. cate some of the worst of the invasive plants often by hand-weeding or, in some cases, chemical treatments for especially hazardous plants such as giant hogweed. Of course, the best way to control invasive plants is to work with nature. Wherever the so-called invasive plants grow naturally (and they all have a place on Earth where they have naturally evolved), there will be natural pests or predators that keep their growth under control. To develop a natural control, biologists need to identify these biological enemies and then select one that is so

specific in its action that it affects only the invasive plant. Ensuring this natural method of control is completely specific in its action on the host plant is typically the key requirement. Such an approach has been used successfully many times to control more than 300 invasive weeds. A local successful example is purple loosestrife, a plant that once invaded and dominated wetlands but now appears to be kept in check by a leaf-munching beetle. Once a host-specific pest is released, it usually takes several years for an ecological

balance to be achieved between the plant and pest. Complete eradication, of course, is never achieved but is also not necessary as long as aggressive growth is kept under control. As one of the many volunteers at DeBoville Slough working to keep what was once a virtual forest of three-metrehigh knotweed under control, I was much encouraged to learn that a natural pest for knotweed has now been identified and tested in Britain. Knotweed is quite a menace in the U.K., where this invasive plant can grow through concrete and damage the structural integrity of buildings. The damage it causes and associated plant removal costs almost $300 million annually. Through research, scientists have leaned that, in Japan, where knotweed is a native plant, it is kept under control by 168 insect species and 40 fungi. This provided a large number of possible candidates to test in England. After much research, an insect pest called a psyllid (i.e., a plant-louse) was chosen as a host-specific pest for additional testing. Laboratory tests confirmed this twomillimetre-long psyllid has no impact on 90 other plant species, including a number of important crops and native plant species. Very limited field trials were conducted last year. This year, the British government gave permission for more extensive field testing to begin. Depending on the results of this testing, we might expect testing to begin in North America some time in the near future. No doubt, all the volunteers working to keep knotweed under control throughout the Lower Mainland will be encouraged to know that help might finally be on the way.

Newcomers club looks to expand Local club’s activities will continue throughout the summer By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

There’s a place you can go where everyone knows your name — even if you’re new around these parts. It’s called the Tri-City Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridg e Newcomers Club but you don’t have to be new to the area to join. The club, which meets on the third Monday of each month (September through May) and holds activities throughout the year, including in summer, is looking to expand its membership. Charlene Lacey, the club’s pub-

licity co-ordinator, said the group is looking for women who would like to meet others in the community for some enjoyable activities. It’s recommended they attend one or two events and a meeting before deciding whether they want to join and, with activities throughout the summer, there are plenty of opportunities to check out the group. There’s a coffee and book club, pub nights, a weekend brunch club, games nights, and movie nights. “We are also looking for suggestions [for more activities],” said Lacey, who joined the group after retiring as a way to meet new people. • For more information, contact Wendy at 604-468-2423 or tricities_ newcomer@yahoo.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

CHOIR CALL

Coquitlam’s Coastal Sound Music performers were recognized at the Performing Arts BC Choral Festival last week after the women’s, children and youth choir each took won honours in their classes. The youth choir has also been selected as a finalist in the National Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs, formerly known as the CBC Choral Competition. Diana Clark, the artistic director for the organization, said hard work and lots of training paid off for the performers. “I couldn’t be more proud of our singers and members of our artistic team,” she said. “It’s so much fun to create choral art together.” Coastal Sound Music has a 22-year history in the Tri-Cities,

Kidney Walk set for Tri-Cities This summer, the Tri-Cities and 18 other B.C. communities will get behind the 4th annual Kidney Walk to help Close the Gap. Participants will walk to raise awareness of the need for more organ donors and to raise funds for research, patient programs and services. “Eighty five per cent of people surveyed in B.C. said they were in favour of organ donation, but only 17% have registered to be organ donors,” Barb Valentine, the Kidney Walk BC co-ordinator, said in a press release. “Our goal is to close that gap.” “It is so important for us to raise awareness of the need for kidney health and organ donation in addition to raising funds that support the work of the Foundation,” Valentine said. “And walks like this one fulfill both objectives perfectly.” The walks take place across the province in August and September, with the Tri-City event running on Sunday, Aug. 21 at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park; registration starts at 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m., and there is a 2.5 km walking route as well as a 5 km fun run route.

Take steps to find a roofer you can trust, BBB warns Check references and get it all in writing The summer season can lead to unscrupulous and unqualified contractors peddling dubious deals. The Better Business Bureau recommends doing your research to avoid getting ripped off by an untrustworthy roofer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Repairing or replacing your roof can cost thousands of dollars,â&#x20AC;? Lynda Pasacreta, BBB president and CEO, said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending that kind of money, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it to take your time and find a roofer you can trust.â&#x20AC;? Every year, homeowners research the trustworthiness of roofing contractors with BBB. In May, roofing was the most inquired about industry by consumers in B.C. Unfortunately, BBB received 138 complaints about roofers from unsatisfied customers last year, an increase from 110 in 2009. Complaints about roofers to the BBB concern high-pressure sales tactics, confusion over contract terms, poor workmanship, incomplete job performance, disputes over warranties and overcharging on the agreed upon price.

To avoid these scenarios and find a roofer you can count on, BBB recommends that homeowners always: â&#x20AC;˘ Start with trust. Check out the company first with BBB at www.mbc.bbb.org to make sure you are choosing a trustworthy company. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations. â&#x20AC;˘ Check the qualifications. Verify the business meets all requirements, including being licensed, insured and bonded, and has re gistered with WorkSafeBC. Also ask the business for references from recent jobs. â&#x20AC;˘ Know your rights. Some contractors will solicit door-todoor. Be aware that you have 10 days to cancel a contract signed in your home with a direct seller. If you have doubts after signing, do not permit the work to start until after the 10-day cancellation period has expired. Contact Consumer Protection BC at 1-888-564-9963 for information on direct sales contracts. â&#x20AC;˘ Get at least three bids. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always go for the lowest bid and beware of low-ball estimates that may potentially balloon over time or foreshadow shoddy work to come. If estimates for the same work vary

widely, find out why. Sometimes unscrupulous operators may use sub-standard materials or take longer to finish the job. â&#x20AC;˘ Recognize the red flags. Beware of any contractor that uses high-pressure sales tactics or requires full payment upfront. Also avoid contractors that require you to get the necessary permits. â&#x20AC;˘ Make sure everything is in writing. The full scope of the work should be explained in the contract. All verbal agreements need to be included in the written agreement. Pay close attention to the payment terms, estimated price of materials and labour, and any warranties or guarantees. Confirm whether the roofer will be subcontracting the job or relying on his or her own employees. â&#x20AC;˘ Know what to pay and when. Some contractors may require a deposit but never pay the full amount up-front or pay with cash. Only pay in full, minus a hold-back, upon satisfactory completion of the work. You can withhold 10% of the total cost upon completion of the work for 55 days. This will protect you should liens be placed against your home. Check with the Land Title Office for liens before paying the remaining 10%.

Try old-fashioned annuals in garden IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

f you’re a little late with the colour in your garden this year, consider yourself lucky. The cool, wet weather has really held things back and caused more than the usual number of insect and disease problems but there is still plenty of time for a splendid garden. When you do get around to setting out the last of your annual colour plants, why not include a few of the forgotten ‘old-fashioned’ annuals this year. Many of them are still available from seed or as bedding plants, so plant a few of these old charmers. ‘Wave’ petunias still lead the pack of summer favourites with their masses of colourful flowers that smother your garden with waves of vigourous and vibrant colours. They are self-cleaning and a wonderful summer addition. No garden should be without a few cosmos. They grow very quickly from seed or young transplants and bloom with huge pastel flowers right until frost. The old-fashioned ‘Sensation Mix’ grows about four feet tall and adds an intriguing depth to the lower plantings we all tend to use today. If height is a problem, try the new dwarf ‘Sonata’ series. These smaller plants produce the same huge blooms all summer and are quite drought tolerant as well. Try mixing a few in among your low conifers, azaleas and rhododendrons. Portulaca has made a huge comeback in the past few years. The large double or single varieties, available in a wide range of vibrant, bright colours, thrive in hot dry locations and look great on slopes. They spread like a carpet and their spiky foliage is quite interesting in itself. Salvia is making a comeback too with all the new blue ‘farinacea’ varieties. ‘Victoria Blue’ started the trend, but ‘Evolution’, a new deep violet, ‘Strata’, a silvery mid-blue and the more compact ‘Rhea’ all add a huge new element to our hot summer gardens. They blend especially nicely with yellows and golds. Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’, ‘Silver Fog’ and the new ‘Breathless Blush’ with its bronze foliage create summer magic. They do very well in full hot sun and look like Baby’s Breath around any flowering plant, creating stunning accents all summer long. We used them in our gardens last year and are tri-

pling their numbers this year. It is nice to see folks planting the Spider Flower (cleome) these days. These tall, long-blooming annuals make quite a display in your summer gardens. The white blossoms of ‘Helen Campbell’ and the soft pink ‘Rose Queen’ are the most striking. Give them some room because they do grow rather quickly and watch out for the thorns when you weed them - they don’t mention that in the seed catalogues! Zinnias have taken a huge leap forward with the new ‘Profusion’ series which spread like a carpet and are full of vibrant colours. They are very disease tolerant and love the heat and drought of summer. The ‘Profusions’ have given new life to zinnias and have made them a ‘must have’ in any garden. It’s definitely not too late to colour up your garden with some or all of these old time annuals. They grow quickly at this time of year and you’ll be surprised how fast they can add a fresh new look to any garden. The other big advantage of late planting is the longer-lasting colour they will provide going on into the fall. Try them and I think you will enjoy them too.

Below left, Glen Pine Blue Jays speedster Bill ‘Slick’ Carter, 74, readies himself for a pitch, while fans (below) root on the players. CRAIG HODGE THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Seniors sluggers serious about having fun By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

“You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and, in the end, it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.” –– Jim Bouton, author of the 1970 book, Ball Four Jim Bouton’s preceding words are hardly idle ball-diamond chatter to 85-year-old Archie Patterson and many other Coquitlam

seniors slo-pitch members, who gather regularly this time of year to play a game to which they’re intertwined like one deep, twisting tree root providing the base for the thousands of evergreens that stand forever tall on their home ground, Mundy Park. Steve Carter, a 67-year-old pitcher with a pacemaker, is among those others. “Some of us are fanatical about staying alive,” says the affable Carter, who never played baseball in his younger days and now happily tosses back-spin to the dish for the

Dogwood Hornets. “I was busy playing soccer and running from the local bullies.” Patterson, who often relies on the aid of two canes to simply walk, started playing Coquitlam seniors slo-pitch in 1989 and formed the Hornets recreational squad 10 years after. He now umpires. “I’ve got one really bad knee and I have fluid in my lungs,” says Patterson, explaining his switch from the front of the plate to behind it. “Nobody complains [about my calls]. I have friends all over... White Rock,

Surrey, Langley... because of my many years in the league.” Patterson spent 25 years in the Canadian military and served in Korea in 1952. When asked what he gets for umping seniors slopitch, he says simply: “Free coffee.” Lower Mainland seniors slo-pitch features 18 co-ed teams in two divisions –– competitive and recreational –– toiling on both the north and south sides of the Fraser River. see PITCHERS, page 53

Terry Fox high school boys basketball coaching icon Rich Chambers was named the new head coach of the University of Victoria Vikes women’s hoop squad, it was announced earlier this week. Chambers, 60, is taking a leave of absence from his current job as counsellor at Fox to join the Canadian Inter university squad. A P o r t Moody resident, Chambers is replacing Brian Cheng, who served as the Vikes’ bench boss the previous 10 seasons. Chambers and co-coach Don Van Os guided Fox to B.C. AAA crowns in 1993 and ’94.

COQ. CENTRE

Playoffs in the rec loop, featuring teams from White Rock to West Vancouver, run Tuesday and Thursday at Mundy field No.’s 1 and 5, with games going both days at 9:30 and 11 a.m., as well as at 12:30 and 2 p.m. “ We n e e d a d ay in between to nap,” Carter says laughingly. “Anyone over 55 is welcome to play but we’ll take pretty much anybody who wants to.” There are five competing Tri-City teams, including three in the rec division –– the Glen Pine Blue Jays and Dogwood’s Eagles and Hornets. Plus, the Glen Pine and Dogwood sen i o r s s e c t o r s e a ch field one squad in the competitive category. The Blue Jays, led by 74-year-old Bill ‘Slick’ Carter, who’s reputed to run the base paths in nine seconds, captured the nine-team league championship last year in Pitt Meadows, beating New Westminster in the final. Steve Carter battled through a serious cancer scare 14 years back and, as of five years ago, wears a pacemaker pad over his heart while playing as a safety precaution. More recently, the six-foot-seven Carter was jolted when a linedrive hit him square on the pad, knocking him to the dirt and causing a flood of players to rush to his apparent rescue. “I got up, dusted myself off and kept playing,” he says frankly. “I took a licking and kept on ticking. There’s a lot of walking wounded playing in our league... s t r ap p i n g o n k n e e braces, pads and helmets. Pitchers are in the line of fire... [facing] bats that can hit a ball 120 miles per hour. That’s why I have so much respect for the people who play. “They’ve got guts, they’ve got courage. I admire them so much for it.”

Anmore’s Jordan Marks is one of eight B.C. athletes with a disability chosen to represent Canada on its first ever national powerchair football team. A 20-year-old University of B.C. student, Marks will travel with the Canadian squad to Paris, France next October to compete in the FIPFA World Cup. With the same basic rules as FIFA soccer, power soccer MARKS or powerchair football, as its referred to internationally, is a competitive sport played by athletes in power wheelchairs. It’s generally played in a gym with four players per team, each with a footguard attached to the front on their powerchair used to manuevre and strike the ball.

He went on to win three provincial championships with the Vancouver Lightning and received the Golden Guard Award at the FIPFA Summit in Atlanta in 2006. He also helped B.C. win gold in April at the Nationals Defi Sportif competition in Montreal.

With over 200 pre-1972 cherry screamers (Hot rods), it’s a favorite show for many car buffs. Show cars are traveling from all corners of British Columbia to participate in this year’s boss event. Maybe it’s because of the thousands of dollars in cool prizes to be won for both car exhibitors and spectators. Make sure to bring your best girl or guy, or even your little ankle biter. Who can’t resist a delicious FREE smokie along with some swinging oldie favorites from local band Third Degree? Have a chance to win a rebuilt 1966 Impala SS through the Customs for Urban Teens program. Check it out at www.cutprogram.org A KMS cordless drill powered Go-Kart will be back to the pavement and agitating the gravel, sponsored again by top of the line power tool companies. Come cheer on your favorite drill and ¿nd out who has the fasted tool with the most power! The KMS annual Show and Shine is one of the most successful fundraisers for Team Mexico. Funds raised from this show will help them build houses and schools in less privileged parts of Mexico. So get your wazoo in gear and Ày Àat out to KMS Tools in Coquitlam and have a Àash back at the KMS Tools Show & Shine this Saturday. Go to kmstools.com for all the details.
