Garbage g catch-up By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Luigi Sella thought he had been paying his property tax bill in full since he moved into his Port Coquitlam home back in 2000. So he was understandably surprised when he received a letter from the municipality last month explaining that, because of a city hall record keeping snafu, he had not paid his garbage levy in five years. And Sella is not alone. see PAYBACK, page 4

No to Murray-Clarke Project costs would have to drop by 65% to be viable — TransLink By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

TransLink dealt a heavy blow to Port Moody city council Tuesday night when the transit authority officially tabled its assessment of the Murray-Clarke Connector project. TransLink has rejected funding for the proposed overpass connecting Murray and Clarke streets, saying in its report that the estimated $69-million capital cost of the connector and its attendant maintenance costs would have to drop by at least 65% before the project would be viable.

Murray-Clarke has been on successive Port Moody city councils’ to-do lists since 1983 and the city has put up funding to help build the connector, but the explicit support of the province and now of TransLink have twice proven shortlived. NUTTALL The sitting Por t Moody council has made the Murray-Clarke Connector a linchpin in its bargaining with TransLink and Metro Vancouver while hashing out agreements on the Evergreen Line and Metro’s regional growth strategy. Port Moody council maintains a “no-growth” policy, refusing any new development in the city and, until now, refusing to allow the Evergreen Line rapid transit

system to go ahead without a commitment from TransLink to build MurrayClarke. But with a mayors’ council agreement reached on covering the remaining funding for Evergreen Line with a regional gas tax, Port Moody council may be divided on whether to continue digging in their heels on Murray-Clarke. Coun. Gerry Nuttall says it’s a lost cause. “Our position has always been that the [Evergreen Line and Murray-Clarke Connector] are one project and that they should build them both,” Nuttall told The Tri-City News. “But I think we’ve tried as hard as we can to get the Murray-Clarke Connector and

we’re not getting any response so it’s time to move on.” Coun. Meghan Lahti called TransLink’s rejection of the Murray-Clarke overpass “mindboggling,” and said the connector is imperative not only to Port Moody commuters but to the whole Metro Vancouver region to alleviate traffic congestion in the city caused by regional east-west traffic. “Considering that they’ve already put the funding forward for it twice — the province did it and TransLink did it — for them to say now that there is no business case, I’m flabbergasted.” Coun. Lahti called it “imperative” that council not roll over on Murray-Clarke and continue to fight TransLink over it. see EVERGREEN EVERGREEN,, page 8

Big changes for Burquitlam area By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

One of Coquitlam’s oldest neighbourhoods that has been slow to transition may soon be teeming with highrises and mega-housing complexes. And the architect proposing a new 24-storey tower in Burquitlam is the same one that designed a 24-storey highrise in another aging Coquitlam neighbourhood poised for revitalization: Austin Heights. This week, architect Chris Dikeakos gave a sneak peak at Coquitlam city hall about what Blue Sky Properties plans to build in Burquitlam in anticipation of the Evergreen Line running up North Road. In his pre-application to the city’s land use committee — a bid that has yet to be formally introduced to council — Dikeakos showed

JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A developer is eyeing the corner of North Road and Foster Avenue for a 24-storey highrise with an adjoining commercial building. a proposal for up to 410 new homes at 655 North Rd. and 525 Foster Ave. Dikeakos said Blue Sky Properties is considering two options for the Foster Avenue lot: either a mix of townhomes/apartment blocks or a 26-storey tower with surrounding townhomes and rental housing apartments; the latter would free up

30,000-square feet for a community park, he said. It, however, wasn’t the only pre-application the committee saw for Burquitlam on Monday: • Ro s i t c h H e m p h i l l Architects, on behalf of Greenwood Properties, is looking to build 91 apartments and city homes on Cottonwood Avenue. A

spokesperson said the company “has been working on this site for a couple of years” with the intention of constructing four-storey “affordable housing” complexes; • and Intracorp Projects Ltd. also presented its plans for 636-640 Aspen St. and 514-554 Foster Ave., where it has contracts to purchase 17 single-family lots on an entire city block. Spokesperson David Jacobson said his company wants to consolidate 18 properties and, if approved, build 124 townhomes in 23 three-storey townhome buildings, on 5.4 acres. Jacobson said Intracorp held two neighbourhood meetings last month and has set up a website (www.fostertownhomes. ca) for the project. As well, on Monday, the land use committee okayed a development permit for a 79unit townhouse complex at Langside Avenue and Breslay Street, behind Burquitlam

Plaza; city council is expected to issue the permit next week. Those mega-projects follow other housing bids approved by council this and last year, including: • Mosaic Homes’ 161-suite apartment block at 539-557 Foster Ave. and its 70-unit apartment complex at 604-610 Como Lake Ave.; • and Bosa Properties and Safeway’s joint mixed-used high-density project in the 500-block of Clarke Road, in the Burquitlam Plaza, that will include two highrises, six townhouses, three retail units and a grocery store. The latter project is expected to be finished by 2015 when the Evergreen Line is set to be up and running. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning, told The Tri-City News yesterday that Burquitlam’s overall redevelopment will be the subject of a staff report

to the land use committee on July 25. “There’s interest in the development community about what’s going on in Burquitlam.... We’re getting phone calls and people inquiring,” he said. Don Violette, president of the Burquitlam Community Association, also told The News yesterday the future housing projects are expected to be discussed at his group’s meeting next week. Neighbourhood redevelopment is positive, he said, but infrastructure must be built, too, especially schools and rapid transit. Violette said another concern is the rental housing stock as many Burquitlam apartments are subsidized. There is fear many people on fixed incomes will be displaced as they can’t afford to buy — even if the suites are deemed “affordable” at $400,000 or $500,000, he said.

Tougher roadside impaired rules here to stay Bar and restaurant owners give up on rule changes By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

T h e p r ov i n c i a l g ov ernment won’t soften its 10-month-old roadside administrative penalties for impaired driving, citing a 50% drop in drunk driving deaths since the rules took effect. Nor will it embark on a public information campaign previously pledged to help revellers decide how much they can drink before they might exceed the lower blood-alcohol limit of 0.05 if caught behind the wheel. “Half the number of people have died on the roads as a result of drunk driving based on the statistics we see,” Premier Christy Clark told reporters Monday. Preliminary numbers show 30 deaths in alcoholrelated crashes in the first seven months of the new regulations, down from an average of 61 fatalities in the same October-to-April period of the previous five years. Police credit the new regulations — with the threat of stiff fines and car impoundments — for the improved driving safety record.

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO

The province said new impaired driving laws are here to stay, after seeing a drop in drunk driving deaths since new rules took effect. Police can now impose an immediate penalty on any driver who blows in the “warn” range between 0.05 and 0.08. Instead of issuing a 24hour suspension or a formal impaired charge, police can impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impound the

vehicle for 30 days, with the owner on the hook for the towing and storage charges. For mer Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman had promised a review of the new rules late last year after the bar and restaurant industry complained of lost business because patrons

were drinking less. He had indicated that might lead to an appeal period where drivers caught by police could lodge challenges before the penalties are applied. But no such legislation was tabled this spring. B . C . Re s t a u r a n t a n d

Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson said his members now accept that the rules are here to stay. “When the theme of Families First came through from the premier, it was pretty obvious that no one in their right mind was going to say families are important —

and by the way, we’re going to loosen up on the impaired driving penalties,” he said. Business was down much more steeply in the immediate months after the change, he said. Now, he said, the worst-hit businesses are down perhaps 10 to 12 per cent from before the change, possibly as patrons understand the rules and make alternate arrangements for transportation. He said it’s also difficult to say how much of the losses stem not from the drunk driving penalties but from consumers’ reluctance to spend due to the sluggish economy or the imposition of the harmonized sales tax. “I think we just have to adapt and find ways to make it work,” Tostenson said. “We wish it hadn’t happened. But it’s here and let’s make the best of it.” Attorney General Barry Penner is also counting on the policy change to help decongest B.C.’s crowded courts. The shift to police-imposed roadside penalties — dubbed by some defence lawyers as an effective decriminalization of impaired driving — means most of those incidents now no longer go into the court system. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Pay back time in PoCo According to the city more than 90 homes have not paid their garbage levy, some going as far back as 1989, totaling at least more than $100,000 in lost revenue for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me and my wife were shocked,â&#x20AC;? Sella said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought we had been paying our taxes. They made a mistake.â&#x20AC;? Now the city is asking for some of its money back. According to city policy Sella will only have to cover the last two years of missed payments, a total of approximately $500. In cases where home ownership has changed in the last 24 months, the city will only collect from the time the new resident has taken possession of the property. Mindy Smith, PoCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of corporate services, said the number of homes that were missed for the garbage l ev y l i ke ly s t a r t e d small â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one or two â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and grew over time. With the fluctuating rate, she said it would be difficult to estimate how much money in potential revenue was lost, but added it was likely more than $100,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just too far back to calculate,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may not even have any records going back that far.â&#x20AC;? She added that the city hopes to collect ab o u t $ 4 0 , 0 0 0 f ro m the last two years of missed payments. Much of the garbage levy that the city collects are flow-through costs paid to Metro Vancouver for disposal fees. Smith said the regional district has been paid in full for every year of its service and that the cost of the lost revenue was spread out over all of PoCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxpayers.

The problem first came to light a couple months ago when staff updated its record keeping software. Brian North, PoCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of revenue and collections, said while errors like this have happened in the past, they are usually one-offs. The new software the city uses, he added, is what helped staff identify the large number of homes not paying their garbage levy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Errors have happened,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time we were able to identify every house in the city to see if they have been charged. Something like this is pretty rare.â&#x20AC;? With the new software, North said it is unlikely that the city could repeat the mistake.

Public Opportunity to Comment on the Preliminary Guidelines for the 2012 - 2016 Financial Plan

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody’s Golden Spike Days Festival needed a spike in attendance this year and it seems it got one, reporting an estimated 35,000 visitors to the annual Canada Day weekend festival. In recent years the festival had suffered from flagging interest and a fallout of advertisers following the economic downturn. In May, festival director Sally Comin went to Port Moody city council to ask forgiveness on $14,000 in loans from the city to keep the Canada Day weekend festival afloat. That request was declined but council offered to take a look at the festival’s budget and determine an appropriate payment plan, beginning with a $5,000 loan coming due in October. In an interview with The Tri-City News, Comin said s h e wo u l d n’ t k n ow whether the society could make any payments on this or any other loans from the city until after its earnings from the July 1 festival were tallied. “Hopefully we can pay some of it back, but first we would need to make sure we have enough set aside to put on next year’s festival,” Comin said.

The City of Port Coquitlam’s Finance and Intergovernmental Committee (FIG) will be holding a Public Opportunity to Comment before commencing preparation of the 2012 - 2016 Financial Plan. The opportunity is for members of the public to assist the Committee with setting preliminary direction for City services, projects, programs and rates for the next Àve years.

Former Port Moody fire chief Jeff Lambert w i l l b e Va n c o u ve r Island-bound in the coming days as he prepares to take over as chief of the Victoria Fire Department. Lambert told The TriCity News Tuesday that he expects to miss the Port Moody fire staff and the community he served as chief for six years, but he’s excited to be leading the larger Victoria department and to meet all the people and the challenges that go along with it. “And it’s the capital city of British Columbia, so not everyone can lay claim to that. It’s going to be an exciting opportunity for me,” Lambert said. It’s a bit of a homecoming for Lambert who grew up in Powell River, the small B.C. mainland town which is nonetheless reliant on ferries to and from Vancouver Island. Lambert will replace retiring Victoria chief Doug Ang rove who served for five years as the Victoria chief after two years as deputy chief. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Making a digital museum Port Coquitlam heritage group scanning hundreds of documents By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society has long sought a venue to display its collection of historical artifacts, photographs and documents. But while the organization waits for a physical building to show off its exhibits, work is currently being done on a digital museum, which will serve the public in the meantime. For the last six months a group of dedicated volunteers has been using some of the most up-to-date imaging technology to scan some of PoCo’s oldest materials. The society hopes that the collection, dug out of the city’s archives, will eventually be displayed on a website for historical researchers and curiosity seekers to examine. “We are not going to wait until we have scanned everything,” said society director Brian Hubbard, who along with a volunteer has overseen the initiative. “I would hope to do it within the year.” For that goal to be met Hubbard and the society, there’s a considerable amount of work to do. The archives contain thousands of documents and photographs and with one volunteer working four hours a week, he said 200 scans has taken about six months. Slowing things down further is the new information that crops up as the society goes through the materials. For example, one image featuring uniformed soldiers from the First World War had writing on the back saying the regiment was photographed in Port Coquitlam. A closer look at the scanned image showed previously unseen writing on the front of the photo that said otherwise. “It turns out it was a different regiment and a different place,” Hubbard said. “That stuff does come up. Once you have done the high quality scan you can zoom in and see stuff that you can’t see.” Larger items, like record books and land registry documents, can’t fit on the society’s scanner. In

Brian Hubbard of the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society, which is scanning documents for the creation of an online museum. those cases a high-quality photograph is taken of the exhibit, which is then uploaded on to a computer. Larger artifacts are also being photographed for the online archive. The society has had some help from the city with its initiative. A $2,500 grant is being used for the purchase of photography equipment and an earlier grant helped purchase the scanner. An online museum is important for the community, Hubbard said, because it will give people an opportunity to see exhibits that are not normally put on display. It is also hoped that if more people get a chance to view the material they will be able to help identify some of the faces in the photographs and maybe shed some light on their stories. But perhaps most importantly, Hubbard said, converting the exhibits into computer files will help preserve the original copies. “Some of it is in rough condition,” he said. “Once we have done all this stuff we won’t have to handle it anymore.” • The Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society is looking for new volunteers to help with its archive scanning initiative. Those who are interested in helping the organization can call 604927-7611 or email pocoheritage@portcoquitlam.ca. For more information go to www.pocoheritage.org. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Port Moody may have to learn how to do without the Murray-Clarke Connector after TransLink said the $69 million project was too costly. Some hope the Evergreen Line, when it opens in 2015, will take some people off the roads and reduce traffic gridlock.

Evergreen uncertainty continued from front page

“We have to push for this because the only other relief we have is the implementation of rapid transit which doesn’t look like it’s going to happen either,” Lahti said, clarifying that while there’s renewed hope for the Evergreen Line’s construction following the mayors’ agreement, she has always been and will remain skeptical on its future until the shovels are in the ground. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart was more optimistic about the shortterm future of the Evergreen Line, posing with a gold-painted shovel and

thanking the province and TransLink’s mayor’s council for the Evergreen Line agreement at last Thursday’s annual Mayors’ Mixer hosted by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce. Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini was less optimistic, however, telling the gathering of business owners that he hoped the recent progress on Evergreen Line wasn’t just a move by the provincial government to shore up votes before a looming provincial election, only to be forgotten about afterwards. As one like-minded chamber of commerce attendee pointed out Thursday: there was no dirt on Stewart’s shovel yet.

King Edward Overpass Project 12-Week Closure The 12-week full closure of King Edward Street, from Lougheed to United Boulevard, is scheduled to begin on August 6, 2011.

Port Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh-in on a draft version of a public art policy at an open house this weekend. While the policy was put together based on feedback from the public and stakeholders, this will be the first time that residents will get a chance to see the draft in its entirety. City staff will continue to survey the public before the policy is finalized, which is expected to take place in the coming months. Arts and culture coordinator Yvonne Chui said the policy will ensure that PoCo has visually pleasing neighbourhoods and enhanced public spaces. There are already several examples of p u bl i c a r t i n Po r t Coquitlam. The May Pole sculpture and Leigh Square and the mosaics along the Traboulay Trail, and salmon shaped park benches and the murals on the sides of the Shaughnessy Street underpass are just some examples Chui would like to see more of. The types of installations can range from smaller pieces, like the

Admission is free and everyone is welcome. For more information go to www. portcoquitlam.ca/arts. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

ort Moody residents are no doubt fuming that the time and money they spend waiting in traffic to get home is not worth much to TransLink. Once again the Murray-Clark Connector has been downgraded by the transportation authority because the economic benefits don’t justify the $69 million cost. What the analysis seems to suggest is the connector would be too expensive and benefit mostly Port Moody (60% of current, 50% of future) commuters while creating few economic benefits yet the cost would be born by the entire region. With TransLink bowing out, the city must now take steps to address its own traffic needs. It can’t afford to build the connector on its own and standing in the way of the Evergreen Line wouldn’t have the desired effect of reducing traffic problems in the area. Instead, Port Moody must work with its neighbours and TransLink to come up with some viable solutions for reducing grid-lock in the area. The first question to be asked is: does Port Moody really want to turn its viable waterfront into a thoroughfare for drivers, many of whom do come from outside the city. Shouldn’t it instead look at capitalizing on the Evergreen Line and link it with Murray Street for a mixed-use, creative environment for business, light industry, retail and residential to co-exist. At the same time, Clarke Street should be developed for tourism. Granted, the MCC has been on the books and TransLink CEOs and politicians have been yammering about the need for a waterfront highway for years. But with improved transit on the way, it’s time to move beyond building highways. Instead PoMo should work with Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge to funnel intercity traffic to the new and improved Highway 1 corridor along designated traffic corridors. Council should also throw its support behind the Evergreen Line and work with TransLink to make transit a viable alternative for north shore residents. It’s true traffic calming measures may have to be introduced that would lengthen commuter times for many. But eventually people would turn to arterial routes and transit that might more effectively meet their needs.

he teenager wearing a brand new white leisure suit, stands nervously in the corner of the room clutching a manila envelope filled with hope and 8x10 black and white prints, still damp and smelling like vinegar from the darkroom chemicals. Over the constant din of the clanging typewriters and ringing of the carriage return bells, he hears a voice call him. When the job interview ends, the man takes the cigar out of his mouth and says “Welcome to the Columbian Newspaperr kid. Here is your press pass. It will get you into places the general public can’t go so it will be your job to use that camera to take our readers with you.” That day was the beginning of my 36-year career as a photojournalist, the last 26 at the Tri-City News.

During that time I photographed royalty. Princess Diana, Prince William, two visits by Queen Elizabeth and more than 30 Port Coquitlam May Queens. In the 70’s and 80’s I was beside the stage for every big concert held at the Pacific Coliseum, and throughout my career I photographed hundreds of high school plays and children’s Christmas concerts. My press pass put me on the sidelines when my neighbour Lou Passaglia ran on to the field to kick a field goal with no time on the clock to win the 1994 Grey Cup. When Trevor Linden made the biggest hit in the Canucks’ history sending a St. Louis player through the glass into the seats of the coliseum, I was the one who caught him along with a lap full of glass. I also shot thousands of school sporting events, and championships. Many of my photos of your children hung on your refrigerators or are tucked away in family scrapbooks. I spent a week travelling with Rick Hansen through B.C. as he neared the end of his world tour, and when he reach Coquitlam, I photographed him as he climbed the Thermal Drive hill and rode passed the

home that I grew up in as a child. One morning in 1979 while driving though Port Coquitlam, I stopped my car to take a picture of a young man running beside the road. He caught my attention because he only had one leg. He said his name was Terry and he invited me to photograph a car wash that weekend because he wanted to raise money to buy gas for his van so he could run across Canada. Two years later, in the middle of the night, I stood in the parking lot of Royal Columbian Hospital as the hospital director told the waiting media that Canada had lost a true hero. It was the only time I saw veteran reporters cry at a press conference. I covered the big stories. Expo 86, the Canucks’ first two Stanley Cup runs, the 1994 riot, an NHL all-star game, and The Olympic torch run. And I covered tragedy. The funerals of children killed by Clifford Olsen and the search of the Pickton farm. But it’s the stories of Tri-City residents who welcomed me into their homes and lives that I will remember most. In 1989, a friend introduced me to a couple that were expecting their first child. For the

next six months leading up to Mother’s Day, I updated our readers on their progress as they prepared. I was in the delivery room and photographed them as they saw their child for the first time. In 2004 I was searching for a feature for our Christmas edition, something that would show the spirit of Christmas in the Tri-Cities and I found it in the most unlikely place. A woman named Elsie invited me to photograph her last Christmas. She was spending Christmas at the Crossroads Hospice. I was so moved by the work of the volunteers there that my wife Darla and I became supporters of Crossroads. Last week I turned in my press pass but you will still find me on the sidelines of the sports field coaching my sons Dawson and Robbie and their North Coquitlam U12 soccer team. I’ll also be in the theatre but I’ll be helping backstage as my son Brandon performs with the Theatrix Youth Theatre Society. This job has given me a front row seat on life and I’m honoured that I was able to use my camera to bring what I saw into your homes each week.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Voting ‘Yes’ on HST The Editor, Re: HST debate and the nature of B.C. Politics, Andrew Holota, Tri-City News, July 1 Let’s get our facts correct first and foremost. In our last provincial election the BC Liberal Party did what they said they would not do — adopt the HST. Grassroots opposition gathered the required signa-

tures and forced gover nment to become accountable and now we have a referendum. It is badly worded but the ‘yes’ means ‘no’ question must be still be settled by B.C. voters. Combining the federal and provincial levels of taxes makes economic sense to both business and consumers. What bothers me

most is why does the gover nment has to spend $7 million of taxpayers’ money to convince me to vote no? I am voting yes in the referendum because of the serious breech of democratic principles involved and I am not waiting for another election to be lied to again. Larry Norman Coquitlam

Finally, Coquitlam is closer on banning yard pesticides The Editor, Re: Pesticide ban on the way in Coquitlam, Tri-City News, July 6 Three years, two denied motions and hundreds of petitions later, Coquitlam is finally getting a draft cosmetic pesticide bylaw. Has council finally come to its senses and decided that maybe public health and protecting our environment do matter or is it an election year? I am

quite certain it is the latter. In the past three years, the majority of council, not once, but twice denied residents the right to have a public information session about the issue of cosmetic pesticides. While I also did not appreciate their uninformed reasons for not supporting a ban, including the need to control the bee population and

the pine beetle, I find it most appalling that our elected officials voted against public engagement. Nonetheless, I am pleased we are that much closer to a cosmetic pesticide ban, but will ensure come election day that I vote for leaders who consider the community’s needs before corporations. Jane Thomsing Coquitlam

Taxes are a burden The Editor, Re: 2 cents more for gas, July 8, The Tri-City News Taxes keep rising based on anticipated needs. When will brakes be put on? We have no additional cash available to feed political ambitions. We do not have incomes well in excess of $100,000 per year. With politicians being paid huge salaries, you seem to forget who you represent and their cash flexibility. What other tax options are going to be introduced? There is no end. We pay TransLink on our property tax assessment. TransLink is already taking huge taxes on gasoline, and now, the mayors want to give them more of our money again by further taxing gasoline. We want to spend our resources the way we want to. Enough of this taxing empire. This is legal poaching. Elwin Mowry Coquitlam

Dissenting mayors fear tax hikes Evergreen Line vote was far from unanimous By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Several mayors now confir m they voted against the TransLink funding plan to raise gas taxes an extra two cents and pursue a vehicle levy with property tax hikes to be used as a last resort. R i c h m o n d M ayo r Malcolm Brodie, Delta’s Lois Jackson and Pitt Meadows’ Don MacLean all say they’re against a scenario that opens the door to a property tax hike being used to fund the Evergreen Line. They and mayors or alter nates from five other cities — Burnaby, White Rock, Nor th V a n c o u v e r C i t y, A n m o re a n d L i o n s Bay — cast dissenting votes Wednesday just before mayors’ council vice-chair Pamela Goldsmith-Jones declared “overwhelming” support for the two-cent plan. “My position has been consistent against the property tax or any potential use of the property tax,” Brodie said, who stressed he supports the gas tax hike. Brodie questioned how any mayor can as yet support the package when funding options like the vehicle levy or road pricing are unde-

Not all mayors were in favour of a TransLink funding plan, which is expected to help pay for the construction and operation of future transit infrastructure projects like the Evergreen Line. fined. “The vehicle levy has been very controversial in the past,” he said. “Who knows whether it is going to be acceptable in the form it is ultimately structured.” Since the levy wouldn’t be passed in legislation by the province before next spring, mayors will have no firm guarantee of what they get when they vote on a formal TransLink financing supplement this fall. If the $10-to-$40 per vehicle variable levy doesn’t materialize, a $23 property tax lift takes effect in 2013 instead. “To put it on the taxpayer with property tax at this point in time is fraught with problems,”

mayors may yet come on side with the package in the weeks ahead if they see more signs of progress in resolving the funding uncertainty. “ T h e m ayo r s a re concerned that if the work doesn’t get done, the fall back is property tax,” Goldsmith-Jones acknowledged, adding there’s concern that the province still thinks there’s room to raise property taxes. But she said there’s unity in pressing for a transportation-related revenue source like the vehicle levy or road pricing instead. see EXTRAS EXTRAS,, page 13

Extras tacked on to funding to win transit plan approval continued from page 12

Brodie said he would have preferred mayors just fund the Evergreen Line and leave out a broader set of transit upgrades designed to appeal broadly across Metro Vancouver. The slimmed down package — without the other region-wide bus and road improvements — could have been paid for with a one-cent gas tax increase and $15 jump in average property taxes, according to information Lekstrom circulated to the mayors. Mayors at one point suggested a 3.5-cent-a-litre increase in gas tax that could have funded the full set of upgrades at a cost of

$70 million a year. B u t Lekstrom drew the line at a t wo- c e n t l i f t in the gas tax from the current 15 cents to 17 cents for LEKSTROM TransLink. The mayors choice for the bigger set of improvements meant adding another funding source like the car levy to raise an extra $30 million in addition to the two cents on gas tax that delivers $40 million. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, who helped broker the initial understanding with

the province as mayors council chair last year, said the additional improvements are important. “This is not just about the Evergreen Line,” he said. “It also has significant other benefits to the rest of the region and especially south of the Fraser.” A King George Boulevard express bus, a new Langley-White Rock route, RapidBus service on Highway 1, more frequent SeaBus service and generally enhanced transit service are some of the add-ons. “ I wo u l d n o t h ave s u p ported just the gas tax for the Evergreen Line,” Fassbender said. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Congested courts put cases at risk Worsening backlog may set more accused free By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

More than half of all B.C. Provincial Court cases have been stuck in the system for at least a year and a growing number are at risk of being thrown out as a result. T hose are among the findings of a new u p d at e t o the B. C. P r ov i n c i a l C o u r t ’s Justice Delayed report, which originally warned of serious delays in the system last fall. The update shows there were 2,371 adult criminal cases before the courts for more than 18 months as of March 31— a 16% increase from 2,038 a year earlier. Criminal cases 12 to 18 months old climbed 18% over the same period from 4,856 to 5,744. Together, the two categories make up just over half of the court’s entire caseload. Judges are bound by Supreme Court of Canada rulings on how long cases can drag on and trials are being quashed over unacceptable delays of as little as 14 months, depending on the circumstances. The average delay across B.C. for a twoday criminal trial in March was 10.6 months, slightly worse than nine months earlier, although the stats show some improvement in the waits for child protection hearings, small claims trials and family law trials. B u t t h e nu m b e r s vary considerably depending on the court house. Surrey remains the worst for adult criminal cases, with a 16-month wait for a two-day trial. For t St. John, Chilliwack, Terrace, Va n c o u v e r ( M a i n Street), Kelowna and Vernon were all booking two-day criminal trials at least 13 months away. The longest delays for child protection hearings (13 to 15 months) were in Cranbrook, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Terrace, while delays of 14 to 15 months were being recorded for family trials in Fort St. John, Cranbrook, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. The original report recommended B.C. move to restore the number of Provincial Court judges from 126.3

full-time equivalents (FTEs) in September 2010 to the 2005 level of 143.6. While a few new judges have been hired since the initial report, others have retired, been promoted to B.C. Supreme Court or opted to start to cut their hours to part-time.

As a result, the number of judges is now 125.1 FTEs as of the end of June, about 15% fewer than in 2005 despite more cases of greater complexity. The province passed a budget this spring requiring further cuts to court staffing. jnagel@blackpress.ca

TRI-CITYY LIFE Tastier tomatoes grow from heirloom seeds

CONTACT Send notices & releases to: email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

“It started as a hobby but the hobby got way out of hand,” is how an Anmore heirloom gardener describes her transformation from curious green thumb to sole preserver of some of the world’s rarest tomato seeds. When Tatiana Kouchnareva immigrated here from Russia, where she grew up on a farm and knew the taste of a good tomato, she was appalled by the lack of variety and especially the lack of flavour in the tomatoes she was finding at the grocery store. So, she began to grow her own, naturally. And when the fruits ripened, she saved some seeds to grow again the next year. So began an “obsession” that has blossomed into a full-time commitment of growing, harvesting, trading seeds and documenting the histories of different varietals of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and melons. She’s even star ted a website, “Tatiana’s TOMATObase” (t.tatianastomatobase.com), as a kind of heritage fruit and vegetable Wikipedia where users can write, research and edit articles about every regional variance of fruit and vegetable imaginable. A n “ h e i rl o o m ” o r “ h e r i tage” fruit or vegetable is, by Kouchnareva’s estimation, one that has been grown by the same family continuously for two or more generations, she explained. But there is some dispute in the heirloom growing community about whether or not that should include commercially grown varieties. Kouchnareva believes it should, but conceded that those varieties are often interbred to the point that they aren’t characteristically unique from one another any more. At least not as unique as her Wonder Light, a bright yellow, lemon-shaped tomato that even tastes mildly citrusy. Or the Bosnian Yellow tomato, of which Kouchnareva holds the only seeds known to be around today, she said. Or

Tatiana Kouchnareva shows off some of the many varieties of tomato seeds she has available as part of her commitment to growing, harvesting and trading seeds as well as documenting their histories.

IN QUOTES

“Maybe some of these genes carry the cure to something we don’t know. There’s a lot of breeding materials here.” Tatiana Kouchnareva t h e wh i t e “ C oyo t e ” t o m at o, the Black Brandywine or Kouchnareva’s favourite, the Anna Russian, a small heartshaped fr uit, which she described as “all meat. No juice, no seeds” — and therefore, very difficult to reproduce. In all, Kouchnareva has grown more than 2,500 varieties of tomato behind her Anmore home and has the seeds from every one — sealed in envelopes, labelled, coded and colour-categorized — to prove it. Now she grows just a few varieties a year, enough to replenish her

seed stock, which, if not sold or traded, will remain active when stored in the envelopes for a maximum of 10 to 15 years. Kouchnareva mostly trades or sells with other heirloom growers, not for profit but just to keep the different genetic varieties going. “When people stop growing they have to find the next person to adopt their collection,” she said. “It’s a lot of responsibility and it’s really started to scare me what will eventually happen to mine.” Adding to her worry is what

Kouchnareva is already calling the worst growing season since 2006, as the cold and damp summer have so far put a few of her unique varieties in jeopardy of extinction. “Last year it was bad,” she said. She lost two heirlooms last year, one an irreplaceable strand from Mallorca, the other a rare breed she hopes she can track down again. “But this year is worse.” And while losing an heirloom breed means having a little less variety in the spice of life, Kouchnareva said she feels it’s the responsibility of gardeners and consumers to foster biodiversity in all its forms for an uncertain future. “Because who knows?,” she said. “Maybe some of these genes carry the cure to something we don’t know. There’s a lot of breeding materials here.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Ideas for book club reading A GOOD READ Leslie Utsunomiya

lthough many book clubs take the summer off as a holiday, this is a great time to be planning what you will read with your group when they reform in the fall. Of course, the temptation is always to choose that latest prize-winner or bestseller title, but those may prove to be an expensive purchase or be too hard to pull together enough copies. Listed below you will find some older titles which are readily available that you may not have already considered. Paulo Coehlo’s The Alchemistt has become a modern cult classic, on a par with The Little Prince or The Secret. Filled with magic realism and symbolism, it has struck a chord with many looking for meaning in life. The shepherd boy Santiago was fairly content with his lot in life, roaming with his sheep, until he met the wool merchant’s daughter, who asked him why he was only a shepherd, since he had been to school and could read. As discontent takes root with him, he begins to feel that he should be searching for his heart’s desire. He embarks on a trip from Spain to Egypt, having adventures along the way, only to discover that he really knew the answer all along. For a good dose of Canadian history, told

from a woman’s viewpoint, you can’t beat The Birth House, by Ami McKay. Until the twentieth century, most women never saw a doctor when birthing a baby, and Dora Rare is a Nova Scotia midwife trained to provide that service. In a tale of the clash between folk remedies and modern medicine, Dora battles the encroachment of the new doctor, Gilbert Thomas, whose ideas may be more dangerous than helpful. Along with a great story, readers will learn more about vibratory treatments for “hysterical” women and the effects of the Halifax Explosion in World War I. Cool Water, by Dianne Warren, is the story of Juliet, Saskatchewan, a small town where nothing much ever happens — or does it? This Governor General’s Award winner has been compared to Thornton

Wilder’s novel Our Town, where the place and the people are compellingly interwoven to create an image you won’t soon forget. The action all takes place in a single day, tied together from the pioneer past to the uncertain future of small-scale farming. Along the way you meet an intriguing cast of characters, from Lee, the young farmer who is unsure of his family history, to the Dolson family, struggling to survive with their six unique children. Norval, the town banker, wrestles with his wife’s desire for status and his unwillingness to give bad news to bank customers. This is a haunting look at change and timelessness. If ever a criminal deserved to die, “Vicky” Rai, the playboy murderer, is that man, so it’s no surprise when he is killed at his own acquittal party. The police cordon has turned up six suspects, all of whom have good reason to

hate Vicky — but who committed the murder? Vikas Swarup’s Six Suspectss is rich in South Asian history and culture, while detailing the stories of each suspect with humour and insight. You will meet a formerly corrupt bureaucrat possessed by the spirit of Mahatma Ghandi, a beautiful Bollywood actress, a bumbling American tourist, an Andaman Islander still mired in the stone ages, a ruthless politician and a poverty-stricken mobile phone thief. The author’s previous novel was Q & A, filed as the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go is also available as a wonderful British film, starting Kiera Knightly and Cary Mulligan. Ishiguro, well known for his earlier novel, The Remains of the Day, is a deft writer, gently and humanly exploring topics in what might have been a horror novel, in the hands of a different writer!

The sweet sounds of music will A Tribute to Ray Charles once again be wafting through and James Brown the trees of Blue Mountain Park Mike Henry on stage Saturday at 8:00 pm The Festival Coquitlam Society is putting on its seventh annual Blue Mountain Music Festival, July 16th & 17th. The Festival Coquitlam Society is a non-profit registered society and an active member of the B.C. Association of Festivals and Events. A dedicated group of community minded volunteers who are supported by many corporate citizens, community service and individuals all

shaped the sound of rhythm and blues with his musical genius throughout the latter half of the 20th century. His talent earned him the respect of the world. Frank Sinatra once said, “Ray Charles is the only true genius in the business”.

Mike Henry was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. He developed his strong soulful voice performing with the vocal group, the Gospel Ambassadors. He moved to Las Vegas in the 80’s and performed in hotel clubs and toured to Atlantic City, Reno and Lake Tahoe. Then he moved to the San Francisco’s Bay area and worked in R&B and Funk clubs.

The late James Brown , known as “The Godfather of Soul”, was an American entertainer recognized as one of the most influential figures in 20th century popular music. He was renowned for his shouting vocals, feverish dancing and unique rythmic style. Brown was a pivotal force in the evolution of gospel rhythm and blues into soul and funk.

In 1989, Mike moved to Vancouver to join the band Stripes and toured Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. He then toured as a solo singer to Asia, Europe and the Middle East. He met Dan Casavant in Vancouver and formed the BigDawg Band in 1997. He has made a name for himself in Vancouver as a dynamic and soulful singer. The influences of Sam Cook, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, and many others live in the heart and voice of Mike Henry. Recently, Mike has formed a solo tribute to Ray Charles and James Brown to honour two of the most influential musicians for him throughout his musical career. The late Ray Charles was a pioneering American pianist and soul musician who

Blue Mountain Music Festival

Where Will Recycling Take You?

On stage Sunday at 7:30 pm “I’m polishing a piece of coal into a diamond,” declares singer, songwriter and country hero Jaydee Bixby about his sophomore full-length Easy to Love (On Ramp Records/EMI Music Canada). “I found my niche.” When last we heard from Bixby, the Drumheller, Alberta native was a young, modestly green sensation touring from coast to coast in support of his debut effort Cowboys and Cadillacs. He worked hard. Harder than most young men his age.

JULY 16 & 17, 2011 - Fun for the wh hole family

In two short years, since the release of his debut cd, what a diamond he’s become. Founded on an exquisite voice and randy hipshaking stage prowess, the 19 year-old Bixby has taken over hearts and stereos across the nation. His career trajectory is set for the stars and “Easy to Love” is the fuel for that incredible journey. Bixby’s career began at childhood through the schooling of his ardently musical family. Following dreams of taking the big stage, Bixby paid many dues, most notably during a stint on Canadian Idol’s fifth season where he quickly captured the adoration of the television audience. Issuing Cowboys and Cadillacs as an assertion of his career beyond Idol, Bixby builds upon that bedrock with Easy to Love, an effort that finds an epiphany helping him blossom into both a complete, confident songwriter and international performer. Penning virtually all of Easy to Love’s songs, Bixby has found the vehicle for both his voice and ambition.

Author of Maillardville book up for GG award A teacher at Coquitlam’s former Millside elementary school is up for a Governor General’s Award for her book about Maillardville. Marie-Laure Chevrier, who now instructs at École AnneHébert in Vancouver, was named last week as a finalist for her work titled d Le rêve de Monsieur Maillardville. The award recognizes excellence in teaching Canadian history. The book project was backed by the Société francophone de Maillardville to mark the French-Canadian enclave’s 100th anniversary in 2009. It describes the arrival of the pioneers to Maillardville

CHEVRIER

in the early 1900s from Quebec, many of whom worked at Fraser Mills — once the largest sawmill in the Commonwealth. After the book was published, B.C.’s ministry of education recognized it as an educational resource for middle and secondary students. The winner of the 16th annual Governor General’s Award for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History will be announced in November by Canada’s History Society. According to its website, a judging panel

will now meet to shortlist the nominees, and six recipients will receive $2,500, a gold medal and a trip to Ottawa this fall to the awards ceremony at Rideau Hall. Their schools will also get $1,000. Other western finalists include Lindsay Anderson, Niv Stilman and Yossi Suissa (Calgary Jewish Academy, Calgary); Sarah Beech and Chad Howie (Valley Creek middle school, Calgary); Cynthia Mundell Hahn (Wes Hosford elementary school, Sherwood Park); and Elizabeth Phipps (Mayfair community school, Saskatoon). jwarren@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam artist Rose Eysmond with Under the Sea, one of 18 paintings that will be shown as part of her Nature Morte and Vivante collection. JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The colourful and curious at PMAC By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

hree years ago, Coquitlam artist Rose Eysmond painted a portrait of herself, looking in the mirror, in front of a dressing table. A flower vase, a bottle of Estee Lauder perfume, a necklace, a handheld mirror, makeup brushes and a small jar of nail polish were among the items before her and, to the right, on the wall, a scarlet postcard with black script penmanship. Eysmond studied the piece for a while and thought about its contrasting subjects: a person paired with inanimate objects, the living versus still life. This year, she expanded on that theme to create a solo show titled Nature Morte et Vivante, which opens tomorrow (Thursday) at the Port Moody Arts Centre. For the exhibit, Eysmond produced 18 romantic realistic paintings — 16 in oil, two in acrylic — many of which she started after her last solo show in March at Place des Arts in Coquitlam.

Her artwork for the Port Moody display is colourful and curious. In Under The Sea, for example, a made-up lady with red lips and frilly sleeves looks over a tray of shells and starfish; they are surrounded by hypnotic squares and circles. In other works, there is a Japanese doll and fan, Chinese objets artss and, Eysmond’s speciality, windowsills and mirrors. “I always pay attention to reflections,” said Eysmond, who has a master’s degree in fine arts. As well, there is a painting of her bespectacled friend among a bed of tulips in their native St. Petersburg. It, however, is not for sale as Eysmond plans to gift the artwork when her friend visits Canada next year. While Eysmond’s paintings will be featured in the PMAC main gallery for the summer, Debbie Tuepah’s sculptures will be on exhibit in the 3D Gallery in a series called Olympics, The Flood and Other Things to Think About. A 2011 graduate of Emily Carr University, where she was won the John C. Kerr Chancellor’s Award for academic excellence and outstanding work in a graduating exhibition,

Tuepah used to work in marketing and advertising, a field that lent itself useful for her PMAC show that explores social tensions and juxtaposition. Next door, in the Plum Gallery, are enamels presented by Olga Polshina, a trained painter from Russia. Her exhibit, titled From Ancient Icons to Modern Images, has timeless pieces that combine hot enamel over metal. “The furnace itself guides me and provides direction to the extent of becoming my creative partner,” she writes in her artist’s statement. “I like to see the transformation of my plain and dreamy images into something almost 3D and real.” Also in the Plum Gallery, in the display case, is natureinspired metalwork by Urszula of Zula Jewelry in a series called Bone & Bear. • The opening reception is Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. John’s St.). The exhibit runs until Sept. 3. PMAC is open Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. jwarren@tricitynews.com

A Day in the Life of Port Coquitlam 2011 Photo Contest

You can excuse Nick Weber if he seems a bit hurried these days. Not only is the Heritage Woods secondary grad rehearsing five days a week, playing the lead role in Theatrixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming production of Footloose: The Musical, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also gearing up for a cross-country tour this summer with his band Pigeon Park, of which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lead singer. In fact, the 22-yearold Coquitlam resident leaves for his 24-stop trip with his blues/rock band on closing night, next Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot on his plate,â&#x20AC;? shrugged Nicole Ro b e r g e, R ive r s i d e s e c o n d a r y â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s d r a m a coach and the choreographer for Footloose who brought Weber on after working with him on the same show at Pinetree secondary eight years ago. Since July, the cast of 30 has ramped up its rehearsal schedule. Before school ended, they had been practicing three times a week for two months; now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every weekday to master the lines, songs and steps made famous in the 1984 movie that starred Kevin Bacon, John Lithgow and Lori Singer and featured the music of Kenny Loggins. Sevan Kochkarian, 18, a Centennial graduate who portrays Singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebellious character of Ariel Moore, said she lobbied Theatrix director Deb Solberg to stage the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids in my community wanted to do it because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uplifting and it has lessons for both parents and teen-

At the age of 10, Joyce Evans moved with her family to Singapore where her father was posted with the British Air Force. Every now and then, she would cycle to the market, where she would watch the hustle and bustle of the locals. “Right from a young age, I was looking at strange things. It piqued my interest,” the Belcarra resident said. Fifteen years later, with a yearold son in tow, she would call Ghana home. Her husband gained a job as a quantity surveyor for a construction firm and Evans landed a gig as an art teacher at the Ghana International School, making use of her four-year diploma in art and design from the Southampton College of Arts and her art teacher’s certificate from the London University Institute of Education. The couple stayed in the African country for three years before moving — once again — to Jamaica. Two years later, they were in Castlegar and, in 1986, in the Tri-Cities. Evans’ travels to 20-plus countries are the inspiration for her latest artis-

tic series, called To Market To Market, which will be shown at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts until Aug. 6. Her solo exhibit in the Atrium Gallery opens tomorrow (Thursday) with a reception at 6 p.m. Her 27 acrylic pieces depict lively scenes from Ghana, Tanzania, Egypt, Spain, France and Ecuador, to name a few. The Lincolnshire-born artist interpreted them from photos and sketches she made on her journeys. The market, she said, is where the community thrives. “It’s so mixed up. The people, the patterns, the colours, the food, the smells: it’s a wonderful experience. I love to wander around and take it all in.” There are also paintings of her last trip to Uganda, where the 68 year old spent a month in April on a Douglas College package. Her favourite country to visit? “Ah, that would have to be India,” she said. “It’s the most interesting place. I could paint from anything there because there are ideas around every corner.” Still, the grandmother of five is unsure about her next destination. “As you get older, you find it more difficult to get going and find excuses to do other things,” she said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Tri-City golfers 1-2-3 at jr. girls’ BC gala

Silver stars Tri-City teams were kept out of the Junior-division team medal hunt at the B.C. female provincial box lacrosse championships last weekend in Port Coquitlam. Still, they couldn’t be denied a bag full of personal accolades. Por t Moody’s S a m a n t h a Cowieson and Coquitlam’s Raylene Robinson were both selected Junior division allstars. In Midget, Ellie Delich was named an all-star as her Coquitlam Adanacs snagged silver after slipping 7-1 in the final to New West. In Bantam, Coquitlam again placed runners up after getting edged 3-2 by New West with the A’s Harlowe Steele securing an all-star award, along with Vanessa Velo of Port Moody. Coquitlam ear ned bronze i n t h e Pe e we e category by beating Burnaby 9-6 in the battle for third, with the Adanacs’ Mieke Stobbart joining Port Moody’s Natasha Tombs on the all-star unit. Also, Port Moody’s Brad Nickle was named the Peewee Wa r r i o r F a i r Play Coach, while Ashley daSilva of Coquitlam collared the Overall Warrior Fair Play Official award.

Doc’s in the lacrosse Hall house By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

He’s known to most in lacrosse circles as simply ‘Doc,’ although there’s hardly anything elementary about Don Hedges’ long-time involvement and dedication to the game and its players. The current president of the Western Lacrosse Association’s Coquitlam Adanacs, Hedges was among the 2011 inductees into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in the builder category, it was announced Tuesday. Also joining Hedges is box player

Dan Wilson, who played most his nine WLA seasons in the 1970s and ’80s with the Adanacs. Hedges has been involved with the Sr. ‘A’ Adanacs for 25 years, serving as the team’s physician, director and president. Along the way, he has offered his medical services to various other lacrosse factions such as the winterpro Vancouver Ravens, Team Canada men’s box squads, numerous Jr. ‘A’ squads and Simon Fraser University men’s field squad, and even helped spearhead lacrosse development in Costa Rica. “It’s a great honour, no question,

but my first reaction is I don’t deserve it as much as some others,” the ever-humble Hedges told The Tri-City News. “Why on earth did they pick me when there are so many others more deserving?” Adanacs GM Les Wingrove, who, with Hedges, steered the team to five Mann Cup national finals and won in 2001, emphatically disagreed. “Fantastic,” was how Wingrove summed up his reaction to Hedges being honoured. “It’s been overdue for a while. He’s an excellent choice. He’s given so much of his time, money and energy... not just to the Adanacs, but he’s helped many play-

ers in the entire WLA, too. It’s nice to see people get honoured who truly deserve to be honoured.” Meanwhile, Wilson was named WLA rookie of the year in 1979 on way to winning three straight firstteam all-star selections. He also led the Adanacs to the 1980 World Box Lacrosse Championship crown, netting tournament MVP honours as a result. In 205 WLA regular season and playoff games, Wilson racked up 238 goals and 386 assists for 624 points. He also won a Mann Cup ring toward the end of his career with the New Westminster Salmonbellies in 1985.

It wasn’t as easy as one-two-three. It just looked that way for Tri-City shooters at the B.C. Junior Girls Golf Championship last week at Eaglepoint Resort in Kamloops. Coquitlam’s Jennifer Yang fired a two-underpar 70 Friday to successfully defend her crown of a year ago. Yang carded a birdie and an eagle on the front nine to make the turn at three-under-par. She then slipped up with two bogeys before managing a birdie on the 16th hole to finish up the tournament with an incredible overall score of eight-under 280. “Heading into the tournament I wasn’t sure how I would do because many of the other girls have been playing really well,” said the 17-year-old Yang, who will next attempt to qualify for the US. Women’s Amateur tournament. “I just concentrated on my own shots and, with a couple holes left, I knew I was going to win. I’m pretty excited.” Finishing the tournament three-strokes back in second place was national development team member Jisoo Keel, also of Coquitlam. Keel finished three strokes back of Yang at five-under 283. In third place at four-under 284 was Port Coquitlam’s SooBin Kim, whose final round of five-under 67 was the low score of the day. First-round leader Megan Osland of Kelowna struggled on the day and slipped back to finish in fourth at even-par 288. Rounding out the top five were Taylor Kim of Surrey. Also a member of the national development team with Keel, Osland shot two-overpar 290 at the event. T h e Ro y a l e C u p Canadian Junior Girls Championship will be held Aug. 1-5 in Richmond. The Tri-City trio of Yang, Keel and Kim will be on the B.C. team.
