Accused in custody Fugitive charged in accident that killed two children in 2008

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A man who left the country after being charged in a 2008 collision in Coquitlam that killed two children and paralyzed another was in a Port Coquitlam courtroom Monday afternoon.

Rya n Jo h n S t ew a r t Miller was arrested at the Vancouver International Airport after re-entering Canada from Australia, a country he departed for MILLER shortly after the Crown approved charges of driving with undue care and attention against him.

The 29-year-old Vancouver resident was held in custody over the weekend.

The incident occurred in November of 2008 when a Toyota minivan carrying eight family members broke down in the HOV lane eastbound on Highway 1 approaching the Cape Horn Interchange.

Downed wires create traffic havoc

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart says he has a lot of hard questions for BC Hydro after underwater erosion downed a transmission tower and caused power lines between Surrey and Coquitlam to plunge into the Fraser River Monday night, choking traffic through Metro Vancouver and raising fears that river currents would pull power lines down onto Coquitlam roadways.

Chief among those questions, Mayor Stewart told The Tri-City News, is “how their line could have been undermined on the south side of the river for weeks and they had not reported it to the communities that would have been affected by this kind of calamity.”

BC Hydro crews were forced to cut several transmission lines over Lougheed Highway, Highway 1, United Boulevard and the CN Rail tracks early Tuesday morning to relieve the stress on the system caused by the pull of the Fraser River on the downed lines between Surrey and Coquitlam.

Crews had cleared the lines from the roads

by Tuesday afternoon but were still working to remove the de-energized lines from the river, according to a BC Hydro press release.

Hydro officials said Tuesday morning they had been aware for several days that river erosion had made some towers unstable and crews worked over the weekend to stabilize them.

BC Hydro vice-president David Lebeter is promising a full investigation and assessment of other towers along the river.

He told reporters the underwater scouring of the tower footings took engineers by surprise — they had been more concerned about a tower further upstream, not the one that actually fell.

Sagging power lines near the west end of the Port Mann Bridge and Cape Horn interchange forced the road closures and tension on lines splintered wooden power poles in some residential areas on the Surrey side of the river.

Pesticide ban on the way in Coq.

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam homeowners will soon have to tend to their lawns, plants and shrubs without spraying chemicals.

This week, city council unanimously voted to get staff to draft a bylaw that would ban pesticides from being used on residential properties.

The bylaw is expected to be adopted this fall, just as council candidates gear up for the November civic race.

The move to make Coquitlam pesticide-free is being heralded by Elisabeth Baldazzi, co-founder of the Coquitlam Pesticide Awareness Coalition, which has lobbied the city for two years to enact a bylaw.

After Monday’s decision, Baldazzi voiced her disappointment that council had taken so long to follow what dozens of other B.C. municipalities have already done on the use of pesticides.

“I don’t think we would have gotten this far had it not been an election year,” she said, “and that’s a shame.

They should have been more responsive to the community. They should have shown more leadership earlier.”

Steve LaFond, owner of ATC Landscaping, which maintains properties in the Tri-Cities, also said the bylaw is “long overdue.”

His Port Coquitlam-based company hasn’t used chemicals for years.

“People are okay with a few weeds,” he said. “You have to do a little more manual labour: You use bark mulch.

You tend more to the [flower] beds.

The trees are a bit more work. You can’t just use the easy fix.”

But while the proposed bylaw applies to the use of pesticides, it doesn’t prohibit them from being sold locally. The city plans to work “directly with local pesticide vendors towards voluntarily ceasing the sale” of the chemicals in the city, the pro-

Cel 604 240 1927 604-941-3838

posed regulation reads.

Coun. Selina Robinson, who called for the anti-pesticide bylaw earlier this year before it was sent to the newly formed sustainability and environmental advisory committee for review, also urged council on Monday to write a letter to B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake to ban pesticide sales province-wide. Her motion was unanimously approved.

Yesterday, a ministry spokesperson told The Tri-City News the government has struck a bi-partisan committee to look at the legal implications of banning pesticides in the province. Last year and in 2009, the ministry held a web-based public consultation, which yielded more than 8,000 responses.

“B.C. Premier Christy Clark has committed to exploring banning the unnecessary use of pesticides for the health and safety of our communities,” the spokesperson wrote in an email on Tuesday. “Any new regulations will take into consideration the views of the public and stakeholders such as the forestry and agriculture industries. We also need to be mindful of the need to protect food security and prevent invasive weeds from harming the natural environment.”

Meanwhile, in May, NDP Leader Adrian Dix tabled Bill M 203, Cosmetic Pesticide and Carcinogen Control Act, 2011, which is expected to be debated in the next Legislature session.

While Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart supports the planned bylaw, he said the city’s hands are tied until the province steps up.

“This is a jurisdiction that belongs to the province because they have the tools to do it,” he said. “They’re the ones that can ban the sale of the product and make it so that we don’t have to go to great lengths to enforce it.”

Retail giant Walmart is expected to open its newest location in Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle on July 22.

Retail giant opens this month

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The first major development in Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle is planning to open its doors this month after several weeks of delays.

Walmart’s newest location will hold its grand opening on July 22 and the retail outlet will act as an anchor tenant for residential and commercial developments going into the area.

The 160,000 sq. ft. space was expected to open in June, however construction and permit delays pushed back the target date.

Tim Arthur, the city’s manager of building permits and inspections, said the project received an interim occupancy permit last week, allowing staff to go into the

building and prepare for the opening.

“There are a small number of issues that are outstanding but they are not related to safety,” he said. “They were in a hurry and they have completed everything according to our regulations.”

When Walmart began construction several months ago, the project did not have the appropriate building permits in place. The city quickly put a stop work order on the project until the necessary approvals were granted, Arthur said. A few weeks later construction was again allowed to proceed.

A spokesperson for Walmart would not confirm the delay and had no information about the stop work order.

Walmart is not the only development working its way through

the city’s permit process.

A Canadian Tire is currently under consideration by city staff and council and is expected to be built on the lot across the street from Walmart at Hawkins Street and Nicola Avenue.

There is also a development permit application for half of a lot at Sherling Avenue and the Lougheed Highway, where a commercial project is currently being reviewed.

The residential portion of the Dominion Triangle will be located at Sherling Avenue and the Fremont Connector, where more than 528 units of housing is expected. The city has received a development permit application for the project, which is currently being reviewed. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Multiple attacks lead to jail time, rehab and probation Violent robberies committed in May, including two in Tri-Cities

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Surrey man who committed a series of violent robberies against six women last May — two of which occurred in the Tri-Cities — has been sentenced to 22 months in jail.

Joon Woo Lim, who pled guilty to four counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery, was sentenced last week at Port Coquitlam provincial court. He has been ordered to enter a drug

rehabilitation program and will serve three years probation after his release. Lim is also prohibited from possessing a firearm for at least ten years.

Lim’s legal issues stem from a crime spree that began on May 5, when a woman working at a Surrey coffee shop was attacked and robbed by a man with a crowbar shortly after 5:40 a.m.

Less than an hour later a woman waiting at a bus stop in North Vancouver was robbed at knifepoint.

Two hours later, again in North Vancouver, a third woman was struck over the head with an unspecified object.

At 9:30 a.m. an el-

derly woman in Port Coquitlam was walking at the intersection of Patricia Avenue and Hastings Street when she was attacked and beaten over the head with a weapon, which sent her to the hospital for stitches. The women’s purse was taken during the robbery.

At around 10 p.m. the same day a woman with a young child in the back seat of her car was struck by another vehicle from behind on Lansdowne Drive in Coquitlam. When the woman pulled over and got out to check for damage she was

violently struck with a hammer before the assailant attempted to steal her car.

Witnesses came to the women’s aid, however the attacker was able to get away.

T he string of assaults came to an end on May 6 when a wo m a n s t a n d i n g with her baby on a Vancouver sidewalk was attacked and robbed of her purse.

Police were able to track down the suspect based on evidence given by witnesses and Lim was eventually arrested in Surrey later in the day. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

2 MINUTES WEST of PITT RIVER BRIDGE

Âľ

By 11 p.m. a makeshift command centre for RCMP, fire rescue and BC Hydro personnel had been set up at the United Boulevard Home Depot, not far from where a Coquitlam transmission tower closest to the Fraser River was bending south towards the water, its lines submerged. “There was a very real risk that first tower on our side [between Leeder Avenue and Burbidge Street] could have collapsed,� Stewart said. He saw and heard first-hand the sideways stress on the tower as the flow of the Fraser pulled on the lines. “It was singing loudly. The metal was stressing and every indication was from the fire department and engineers that tower could go and if it did, the stresses on the next tower would be tremendous and you could end up with a ripple effect as happened on the other side of the river.�

Luckily, the tower held until 4 a.m. when the decision came out of the command centre to call in a bucket truck from Aldergrove to cut the lines over the roads. “Our biggest concern was the collapse of thousands of pounds of overhead cable,�

Stewart said. “It was de-energized but it still would have killed people.�

With all of the traffic delays and closures, it was after 5 a.m. before that

15% increase in passenger volume heading into Vancouver.

Lougheed Highway, Highway 1 and the eastern half of United Boulevard were reopened for the Tuesday morning commute but traffic was still at a crawl through the southwest Coquitlam area at 11 a.m., according to an eyewitness.

Mayor Stewart said he was first aware of a problem with the power grid as he was leaving Monday night’s Coquitlam council meeting.

At approximately 9:30 p.m., the lights in the council chambers flickered twice, as they did all across the Metro Vancouver power grid, according to reports from as far afield as West Vancouver.

Mayor Stewart said that shortly after the flickering, he got a call from the Coquitlam fire chief Tony Delmonico. “He told me essentially a line had collapsed into the Fraser River which was quite unbelievable and that the freeway and L o u g h e e d H i g h w ay we re h av i n g t o b e closed,� Stewart said.

truck arrived. But once it did, BC Hydro crews wasted no time in cutting down the stressed lines and beginning to clear them from the roads.

Mayor Stewart said that the southwest Coquitlam area has always been vulnerable to this type of power issue because of the cross-river connection, but called the Monday night incident “unfathomable.� “Last night, job one was to do everything we can to get the lines back open and remove the immediate hazard.

But today I’ve got lots of questions and I’ve spoken with Mayor Watts in Surrey and we’ll be coordinating together the search for the answers to those questions,� Stewart said.

SFU geographer Jeremy Venditti said this year’s Fraser flow has been the 10th highest on record but added it’s been an extremely unusual freshet.

The river hit a high flow level of 10,000 cubic metres per second at Hope very early in the runoff season, he said, and it has kept running high for about five or six straight weeks due to the colderthan-normal spring. “This is really the only time we’ve seen that in the last 100 years or so,� Venditti said.

He said the long period of high water completely saturated the floodplain areas and weakened the soil, making the shoreline vulnerable to the formation of “scour holes� that can undercut the footings of critical infrastructure.

Coquitlam city spokesperson Dan McDonald said that while power flickers and dimming were reported across Metro Vancouver as a result of the downed lines, there were no reports of outages here in Coquitlam.

But, he said, “it goes to show you how these things can have an impact along a grid.�

Some businesses along United Boulevard were closed Tuesday i n c l u d i n g Wa s t e Management, whose garbage removal customers across the Lower Mainland were told that nor mal removal services would likely resume by today [Wednesday] beginning with Tuesday pick-up customers, as the company’s trucks were unable to leave their lot due to road closures.

Metro vote fails to pass Coquitlam council decides not to approve referendum

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam residents won’t get a chance to vote on who they want to represent them at Metro Vancouver — at least, not in November.

This week, city council quashed the motion

by Coun. Lou Sekora, saying the current system of appointing directors to the regional board is the best solution for now.

Sekora, who is a Coquitlam director with Mayor Richard Stewart, contended Metro Vancouver directors are unaccountable to taxpayers and get paid handsomely for little work.

According to a report released last month by the finance committee, Sekora reaped $966 last year for his Metro board duties while Stewart collected $11,701 as a board director and as a member on the regional planning committee and parks committee.

Directors are paid $322 per meeting and, if business goes over four hours, they are paid double. The rate is based on a percentage of the Metro Vancouver board chair’s remuneration.

“We got a whole board with approximately an $800-million budget,” Sekora said, “and none of them are elected.

How many businessmen

are on that board? Two? Three? Period.

“To me,” he said, “it appears since I sat there in the last few months, like it’s a friendship group in there. A bunch a Yes people. Nobody questions anything. Just rubber-stamp, rubberstamp, rubber-stamp.

Pick up your paycheque and away you go.”

C o u n . M a e Re i d , who is currently on the Coquitlam panel to ne gotiate with Metro Vancouver on the Regional Growth Strategy, said she doesn’t want to rock the boat with the regional body.

“I just do not think that this is something we should be dealing with — especially at this time,” she said of Sekora’s motion. “I think this is something that should be discussed at Metro Vancouver....

I do not believe it’s our place to take this on so I won’t be supporting this in any way.”

Her comments were echoed by Coun. Neal Nicholson, who said Coquitlam shouldn’t be electing MV directors alone.

Coun.

Brent Asmundson, who is also an MV committee member, said having the voters choose who they want at the board could

be dangerous as council then doesn’t have the ability to pull a director if he or she votes contrary to council’s wishes (several years back, Coquitlam director and former councillor Fin Donnelly voted against the Gateway project though council was in favour of the provincial transportation program).

Mayor Stewart agreed the MV remuneration is “out of whack” and its structure needs to be reviewed.

“I think there are elements of it that need analysis,” he said, “and I would like to see that analysis for the good of

the region and for the good of the work that it does because Metro Vancouver does some really, really important work in sewer, in water, in solid waste and now, in an expanding role, into regional planning, air quality, water quality and even food distribution system.”

However, there would be legal implications should directors be elected, Stewart said.

As a result of Monday’s defeated vote, there is not enough time to have a referendum question on the November ballot, city clerk Jay Clerk has said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Cooking for royalty a ‘surreal’ experience, says local student

By Gary McKenna

royal couple were not visiting. If they can’t visit the west coast we’ll bring it to them.”

Since he left for Ottawa last Tuesday Gee has barely had time to process the experience. Prep work began shortly after their plane touched the ground and continued right up until the event began.

On Friday the crew of culinary students returned home.

“It all went by so fast,” he said. “I haven’t had time to really let the whole experience sink in yet.”

Gee was exposed to several different career paths, but fell in love with cooking a few years ago. Since then he has devoted much of his time to his craft, which he said is his way of expressing himself.

Last week’s event in Ottawa is not the first time Gee was teamed up with fellow VCC culinary arts students Jasper Cruickshank and Arielle Schwab in preparing a meal. The crew, led by VCC culinary arts department head JohnCarlo Felicella, recently took second place at a cooking competition in Dublin, Ireland.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

When Tyson Gee prepares a meal, he likes to make sure every dish he executes is fit for a king.

So when the Coquitlam cook was invited to Ottawa to help prepare a meal for Prince William and Catherine, the 23-yearold Centennial secondary alum jumped at the opportunity.

He and a group of culinary students from Vancouver Community College put together more than a dozen hors d’oeuvres for the couple at an event kicking off the royals’ cross-country tour of Canada.

“It was such a surreal experience,” Gee said. “There is nothing I could possibly compare it to.”

The group worked under the guidance of Rideau Hall executive chef Louis Charest.

Food items were selected from across the country representing Canada’s range of culinary experiences, Gee said.

Arctic char and sea urchin were brought in from the Yukon, while Alberta contributed yak

Spruce tip smoked oysters from Newfoundland were also prepared for the royal couple along with quail eggs and Salt Spring Island goat cheese. Spot prawns from British Columbia were also incorporated

into the meal.

“The menu was a very Canadian themed menu,” Gee said. “The items were selected because chef [Charest] thought it was a good representation of Canada, especially for the provinces which the

Rude drivers

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

T

hey cut in without signalling, speed, tailgate, yak on their cellphones and blast their horns in anger.

Lower Mainland motorists are a belligerent bunch.

So says a new opinion survey conducted by Ipsos Reid for ICBC. According to the poll, 55% of residents believe drivers in their communities have become less courteous over the past five years. Forty per cent said it’s about the same while three per cent thought drivers are more courteous.

Most people surveyed (82%) had encountered fellow drivers who were late in signalling or didn’t signal at all — the single biggest peeve cited in the survey.

Seventy-one per cent reported being tailgated, 68% said other drivers refused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off.

But there were also the bad-mannered louts who yelled, swore, made obscene gestures, waved their arms or fists, flashed their lights menacingly, and even (let the road rage begin) stole parking spots.

Who are these motoring miscreants, these behindthe-wheel warriors whose heated emotions can impair other drivers’ ability to concentrate and react on the road, thereby putting everyone at increased risk of crashing?

Certainly not you... right?

Along with drivers behaving badly, the poll also revealed an amusing disconnection: drivers in denial.

While those surveyed gave their fellow motorists a “C” letter grade for courteous driving, they gave themselves a stellar “A” or “B” rating.

In other words, most Metro drivers don’t believe they’re part of the problem.

The late comedian George Carlin once said, “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

Next time you get annoyed in traffic, better give that mirror a second look.

Opinion divided on success of Nisga’a treaty BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – There were high hopes and harsh words in 2000 when the provincial and federal governments signed Canada’s first modern-day treaty with the Nisga’a people of northwestern B.C. The four villages are now governed by the Nisga’a Lisims government, which holds broad authority transferred from the federal and provincial governments. While Canada’s financial support continues to flow, the Nisga’a Nation is nearing the stage where it must begin to collect taxes and become selfsustaining.

A new study by the Winnipeg-based Frontier Centre for Public Policy offers a unique look behind the scenes of this remote experiment. And judging by the hostile response of the Nisga’a government to the findings, it may be the last one for some time.

Is the Nisga’a Nation ready to support

itself ? The short answer is no, according to polling data and extensive interviews with “key informants” who are not identified.

Co-author Joseph Quesnel told me he interviewed 15 influential people, both supporters and critics of the treaty, since he first visited the region last fall.

A larger phone survey by COMPAS Research found that more people trust the Nisga’a government compared to the old Indian Act regime. But divisions remain, particularly over giving up aboriginal tax exemptions.

Quesnel said he met people who have left the Nisga’a villages for nearby Tsimshian communities, before sales and income taxes take effect in 2013.

According to the study, a culture of dependency that grew up during a century of colonial-style rule remains pervasive. The authors report many of the same problems that plague Indian Act reserves, such as willful damage to housing, accusations of nepotism and failed business investment.

“More than one key informant observed

TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

that old attitudes and mentalities persist regarding public services,” the report states.

“Expectations at the local level that the village government will provide everything are still rampant.”

Quesnel said the Nisga’a Nation’s recent move to allow fee-simple ownership of municipal-style lots is a key step towards selfsufficiency. But the land title system is still in development and it’s too soon to see results.

The study notes that economic conditions in Nisga’a territory have become worse since the treaty. Quesnel agreed with my suggestion that this has more to do with the decline of forestry and fishing than any failure of governance.

Nisga’a Lisims president Mitchell Stevens issued a statement rejecting the report’s findings, citing two factual errors and denying that he had participated.

Quesnel, a Quebec Metis with a background in journalism, said he was welcomed on his initial visit and was even invited to attend a Nisga’a Lisims executive meeting. But he said Stevens and other officials “stopped responding” as the project progressed.

In his statement, Stevens described the code of conduct for Nisga’a officials and the complaint process people can use to hold them accountable for decisions. The president dismissed the “colourful commentary” of a few “key informants” who didn’t expect to be quoted.

Quesnel says that despite the slow progress, he remains convinced the Nisga’a treaty is a positive step. Now investors have only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board.

And there are lessons to be learned by other aboriginal communities, such as tackling dependency and addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in outside experts to set up businesses.

“Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was optimistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without financial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimately, you’re still dependent.”

What kind of Canadian steals someone’s flag?

Hunters do aim for a clean kill The Editor, Re: Ban Bow Hunting, TriCity News, June 29.

Does Coun. Darrell Penner really think that any legal hunter would try to purposely wound any animal? Whether by gun or bow, every hunter’s aim is for a quick clean kill. It’s fear mongering like this that puts everyone at risk.

Also, the areas in question are not in locations where his high taxpaying homeowners are crammed in houses six feet apart. Maybe he could turn his attention into keeping dog owners from letting their dogs crap all over our local baseball soccer fields.

teach my three young boys about pride in one’s country and our people, when such base behaviour exists right outside our front door? I find this kind of conduct as revolting as that of the thugs on TV singing “O Canada” while cars burned during the Vancouver riot.

To the thief who stole our flag, shame on you. Shame on you for demonstrating how low and selfish a person can be. Shame on you for making me ashamed of a fellow citizen. And shame on you for disappointing three little boys who love Canada.

Brenda Hynes Port Coquitlam

The Editor, I was extremely disappointed to wake up on July 1 and see that the Canada flag that my sons and I had hung in the front yard had been stolen.

Was it a misguided sense of patriotism that led the culprit to enter our yard, cut the rope holding the flag and then abscond with our national symbol? Or was it more likely a selfish criminal who does not understand the importance of the maple leaf ?

It is important in our family to honour our great country and demonstrate respect for the ideals which the Canadian flag represents. How am I, as a parent, to

Planting delayed by weather, high water

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It may look like a giant sandbox now but the new Pitt River Intertidal habitat area nor th of Lougheed H i g h w ay i n Po r t Coquitlam should be green with plants soon.

The final stage for the $9.9 million project has been delayed by cool weather that slowed plant growth in the nursery and the high river freshet, which hampered workers’ efforts to get into the newly created tidal area west of the Pitt River.

The plants required more time to grow but are now ready for planting, according to Allen Jensen, manager of environmental services.

Approximately 110,000 aquatic and riparian plants will be dug in by the end of August.

“It’s very important that the plants are strong, survive and thrive, this will help prevent the spread of invasive plant species in this area,” Jensen said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Sheriff cuts hinder courts Doubts linger over province’s pledge to restore cut hours

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The provincial government had advance war ning from a senior official several weeks ago that cuts to the number of sheriffs guarding court houses could spark trouble in the justice system.

In a May 31 letter to B.C.’s chief justices, copied to the deputy Attor ney General, Assistant Deputy Minister Rob Wood noted full-time staff levels in the court services branch had already been cut 9% since 2008/09.

“These fiscal changes have made it progressively more difficult to maintain operational service levels in both court security and court administration,” Wood said.

Deeper cuts took effect at the beginning of June and Wood’s letter set out minimum service levels for court registries and sheriffs, including a system of roving sheriffs to spread staff further.

Wood’s letter indi-

full-time deputy sheriffs caused delays in several trials last month when some judges refused to let their trials proceed without a sheriff present.

By late June, Attorney General Barry Penner — after hearing directly from judges about their security concerns — pledged to reverse the cuts to sheriffs’ hours.

But the cut hours have not been permanently restored and are only being scheduled a week at a time so far, said Dean Purdy, s p o ke s m a n fo r t h e union re presenting sheriffs.

“We’ re concer ned that they’re so keyed into the budgetary side of things they’re going to let the court system slide rather than truly fund the system,” he said.

cated the number of court clerks has also been cut and the ministry would respond by reassigning court registry staff to act as clerks as needed.

He cautioned those levels would not be sustainable for long.

Wood also noted it would be up to judges to gauge the security risk and decide if they can operate without a dedicated sheriff using the rover system.

“The safety of all court participants is of paramount concern,” he said.

“We will do everything we can, in consultation with the judiciary, to ensure the most important matters go forward and that the safety and security of the courts and court users is maintained.”

Police and accident reconstruction specialists believe Miller, who was allegedly driving a BMW at the time of the accident, slammed into the back of the van without braking. A Toyota driven by a 35-year-old woman was also involved in the collision, hitting the driver’s side door of the BMW. Two of the three brothers sitting in the back row of the minivan were killed, while the third brother was paralyzed. Two elderly woman who were sitting on the middle bench were seriously injured along with a 49-yearold woman in the passenger seat and the mother of the three boys. All eight family members were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision.

Miller was expected to appear in court Tuesday afternoon after The Tri-City News’ deadline. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

I brought my Honda Civic in for servicing a day after bringing in my Honda Accord. Stu Miller is an awesome service person. Had an unexpected hole repaired in one of my tires. Stu was great knowledgeable and personable. Another guy that can be trusted.

Special thanks to Cam Sinclair for arranging the game, thanks to the Port Moody Fire department and all its volunteers. After the game the firemen hosted a barbeque for all the athletes. The challenge game has been going on for 9 years, with the Special Olympic Athletes winning every year.

The BC Liberal/Big Business

1. The HST is now 10% - False The HST is 12% and will not be 10% for three years – if ever. There will be an election before that, and even if the HST were to miraculously drop to 10% - it will still apply to hundreds more goods and services than a 12% PST/GST for a total tax increase to consumers of $1.6B per year. And who says it won’t go right back up again later?

2. The HST will lower taxes – False This one is hilarious. The HST increases taxes for British Columbians by $2.8 Billion per year.

That’s an average annual increase of $500 per person - or $1208 per average family – forever. Finance Minister Falcon says if his side loses he may disregard the result and expand the PST to items previously exempt – which would be illegal. Do you really trust this guy to cut the rate if he wins?

3. The HST will save you money - False And the tooth fairy is going to leave you a quarter under your pillow too. To get their numbers to show the HST actually “saving” you money they are calculating only “routine purchases” and that 90% of what you pay in HST will be passed back to you in lower prices.

Have you seen lower prices?... We didn’t think so.

4. The HST benefits seniors - False Seniors and people on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by the HST. A one time rebate of $175 if you vote in favour of their tax in exchange for paying it for the rest of your life is a deal only a snake oil salesman would offer. Why take $175 when you can vote to cancel the HST and keep all your money? How dumb do they think we are?

5. The HST benefits families – False Next to seniors, working families are hardest hit by the HST because they are among the largest consumers and have dependent children. Bribes of $175 per child when your cost is closer to $400 a year each makes you wonder if they think all of us failed math as badly as they did. And what about a single mom with two kids going to college? She gets nothing while the Premier and Finance Minister who earn big six figure salaries get the rebate. Nice.

6. Business will pay more so you pay less - False A temporary increase of 2% in corporate taxes will be passed on to consumers with increased prices. Either way you pay the final bill whether it’s in HST or higher prices.

7. We’ll owe $1.6 Billion if we cancel the HST - False The “Independent Panel” says the HST generated $850 million more than budgeted. Setting aside that is the biggest tax grab in BC history, it means government already has $850 million to repay Ottawa. BC has only received $1B, and Ottawa collected $300M more in corporate taxes under HST than under PST. So it’s a wash. And keeping the HST would cost British Columbians alot more than killing it – over $28 Billion in new taxes in just 10 years.

Vote YES to extinguish the HST and save your province, your democracy, and your money!

She noticed the animal’s facial expressions were similar to the kids’ she was interpreting on canvas. “I found pictures of them hugging, laughing, crying, meditating, playing,� she said of chimps, adding, “I think it’s true what scientists say, that they’re the closest creature to us humans.�

Coquitlam artist Susan Jessop last month unveiled a tile mosaic at Coquitlam River elementary that she pieced together with students.

Jessop started the project six months ago “because the entrance to the school is so bare and it just wasn’t a reflection of the school community,” she said. Jessop, whose eight-year-old daughter attends Coquitlam River elementary, encouraged students to submit designs for the artwork and got classes involved to make the people; the bear was included as many bruins frequent the area, she said. The materials were donated by Interstyle Tiles in Burnaby and Modern Tile and Flooring in Port Coquitlam.

Different coaches, same results for A’s

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Les Wingrove got to see his Coquitlam Adanacs from a different viewpoint on the weekend. The bench.

Unfortunately, his close presence to the players couldn’t spur them to pull the reins on the team’s losing gallop as the A’s dropped two more Western Lacrosse Association contests –– 9-5 Thursday to the host New Westminster Salmonbellies and 14-10 Saturday to the Victoria Shamrocks at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

Saturday’s loss was the A’s fifth straight and dropped them 4-8-0 and a share of last place with the Maple Ridge Burrards in the seven-team loop. The general manager Wingrove was pressed into helping coach his squad after bench boss Bob Salt was sus-

pended for two games and one of his assistants, Randy Delmonico, was issued a fourgame ban following a verbal altercation with the referees after the A’s fell 11-9 in Ridge the previous Sunday.

Wingrove and assistant coach Dennis Quigley worked the bench Thursday, while ex-Adanac and current Jr. A’s skipper Curt Malawsky joined the pair for Saturday’s contest. Even the presence of the revered Malawsky, who’s steered the defending Minto Cup-champion Jr. A’s to a perfect 19-0 mark this season, failed to turn around the A’s fortunes.

“It’s not lack of effort or anything like that,” Wingrove told The Tri-City News of his team’s on-floor woes. “In fact, I think we’re a lot better than our record indicates.”

With six regular-season games remaining, the A’s sit only three points back of both the

IN QUOTES

“I think we’re a lot better than our record indicates.”

Adanacs GM Les Wingrove Burnaby Lakers and Langley Thunder, who are tied for third behind first-place New West and second-place Victoria.

“The rest of the schedule is pretty much in our favour,” Wingrove said. “Other than New West one more time, we play all the teams who are in the hunt for a playoff spot with us.”

Against the ’Bellies, the A’s trailed 5-0 after the first period before out-scoring the hosts 4-1 in the second to make a game of it. Daryl Veltman led Coquitlam with three goals and

one assist, while Cory Conway dished out three helpers.

With the Victoria-native Conway on the injured list Saturday, the A’s were knotted with the Shamrocks 4-4 after the first period before the island crew out-scored them 10-6 the rest of the way. Dane Dobbie whipped in four goals and added two assists in a losing effort, while Veltman racked up two tallies and set up five others for a seven-point outing.

RAG LINE: Kevin Olson made his Adanacs debut Saturday, registering a goal and one assist. A former B.C. Jr. ‘A’ scoring champ and two-time Minto Cup winner with the Burnaby Jr. Lakers, Olson was acquired last week from Burnaby in a three-way deal that involved the A’s shipping hold-out goalie Chris Levis to Victoria... Next, the A’s host the 4-4-2 Nanaimo Timbermen on Saturday at Poirier, 7 p.m.

CM Reds off to Ohio after ruling Lorne Upsdell tourney

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam-Moody Reds conquered the competition at last weekend’s Lorne Upsdell Peewee AAA baseball tournament in Ridge Meadows.

Now they’re set to take on the world.

The Reds erupted for five runs in the third inning to overcome an early 1-0 deficit and sailed to a 12-2 triumph over Cloverdale in Sunday’s championship final. The win also served as the inaugural provincial qualifier for the Continental Amateur Baseball Association’s Under-12 World Series from July 23-28 in Sylvania, Ohio.

“This will be the first time B.C. has ever sent a team [to the U-12 World Series] so I have not real idea how we’ll fair,” said Reds head coach Randy Downes. “But we are taking a good team there.”

Winning pitcher Reece Huntley was outstanding, while left fielder Aaron Sinclaire bolstered his performance by making two terrific catches. Kyle Johnson rallied the Reds’ offence with a pair of hits, while Kyle Henderson clobbered a home run for the victors.

The Reds advanced to the final by crushing Ladner 12-6, sparked by Jordan Dray’s two dingers. Kyle Stubbins pitched the win,

while Johnson smacked three hits.

The Reds opened tournament play via a 10-10 deadlock versus Vancouver, with Henderson leading the way with three hits.

Next, the Reds whipped Ridge Meadows 13-6 by exploding for five runs in the fourth inning and four more in the sixth.

Dray drilled three hits, while Corey Jackson threw four solid innings to earn the win.

Likely the turning point in the tourney came in the Reds’ next affair, where they rallied back from a 4-0 deficit by scoring five runs in the seventh inning on way to a 5-4

triumph over Nanaimo to move on to the semifinal. Dray stole home with two out to knot the scored 4-4, then Matt Clay singled home Riley Engleson for what proved the winning run.

“I was very pleased with how well we played overall as a team [and] our character was evidenced by the great comeback versus Nanaimo,” Downes said.

Huntley won the tourney’s Top Pitcher honours, while Stubbins took home the Jesse Herman Memorial Award for inspirational play.

After the Worlds, the Reds host the Peewee AAA provincial finals Aug. 18-22 at Town Centre Park.
