Fed bear is now a dead bear Third bear shot in Coquitlam this season By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A third bear has been destroyed in Coquitlam for getting into people’s garages, eating their trash and causing concerns about public safety. A member of B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service confirmed Wednesday that a 1.5-year-old male black bear was caught in a culvert trap and destroyed July 29. The bear was first reported to the conservation office July 6 and a trap was set soon after, Const. Cody Ambrose told The Tri-City News. “It had become habituated to the point where its behavior was a concern for public safety. This bear became so bold it would regularly enter garages or walk within reach of people. It wasn’t deterred by people yelling, air horns, or even bear bangers,” Ambrose said. The bear, which was born last winter and was hanging around Burke Mountain neighbourhoods, was not a good candidate for relocation because it was so habituated.
Warm weather is bringing sun-seekers to White Pine Beach in Belcarra regional park, including six-year old Sam Ryznar who spent the afternoon in the warm waters of Sasamat Lake on Wednesday afternoon. On busy weekends, the park gate has to be closed when the parking lot fills up. For story, see page A13.

Kingg Ed closing
Witnesses sought Port Moody police seek information on alleged kidnapping Tuesday night
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
By Todd Coyne
Businesses along Coquitlam’s United Boulevard are taking a wait and see approach to the 12-week King Edward Street closure before making any customer service changes. Starting tomorrow (Saturday), the south portion of King Edward Street, between Lougheed Highway and United, will be shut while construction crews finish the last part of a new four-lane overpass that, once complete, will span over the CP Rail tracks. The bump along Highway 1 will also be levelled.

Port Moody police are looking for witnesses to an alleged kidnapping and robbery Tuesday evening. At approximately 5:50 p.m., a woman walking from the Port Moody West Coast Express station toward St. Johns Street was grabbed by a woman and forced into a waiting van with two other male accomplices. The three alleged kidnappers drove off with the woman before stealing an unknown sum of money from her purse and eventually letting her go. The victim reported the incident to police immediately upon her release, but all three suspects remain at large.
Port Moody police spokesperson Const. Bill Kim told The Tri-City News yesterday that no weapon was brandished during the incident and it is unclear whether or not the victim knew her captors. The two male suspects are described by police only as Middle Eastern in appearance, while the female suspect is described as 6’ tall and approximately 200 lbs., with shoulder-length brown hair tied in a pony tail, Middle Eastern in appearance and wearing a long-sleeved navy blue T-shirt with dark pants and a wristwatch. The victim is a Middle Eastern woman, 5’ 6” tall, 120 lbs. with dark brown shoulder-length hair and wearing a knitted zip-up sweater, white T-shirt, blue jeans and carrying a green purse. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the abduction to contact Port Moody Det. Const. Rob Anzulovich or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). tcoyne@tricitynews.com

More city property up for sale Coquitlam consolidates land on Como Lake Ave. By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam city hall is poised to sell off more of its land. City council last week gave three readings to a proposed road cancellation that would see the small strip consolidated with a larger city-owned property located at 2150
Como Lake Ave., where a fire hall once sat. According to a city staff report, if approved, the two parcels would also be consolidated with a narrow lot directly to the south that is currently owned by School District 43 on the Hillcrest middle school site. That land is to be traded after the city, several years back, built a road from Como Lake Avenue, at the top of Thermal Drive, to the school parking lot. The buyer of the newly consoli-
dated city-owned lot would not have access to Como Lake for safety reasons, the report states; therefore, a new driveway would be required to get onto the Hillcrest school easement. The plan comes two weeks after council also granted three readings to a road and lane cancellation bid that, once approved, would allow the city to consolidate about 30 acres of its land on Burke Mountain, where the city envisions another 20,000 people to live over the next 20 years
or so. Burke parcels are selling for as much as $1 million an acre, depending on topography and servicing, city staff say. As well, the city recently sold 12 of its single-family lots in the 3400block of Gislason Avenue on Burke (with a minimum selling price of $330,000 each). In February, the city also put up a City Centre property for sale: a 1.2-acre parcel at 1123 Westwood St., south of Lincoln Avenue, that is earmarked for high density.
Walmart eyes in-store services By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh-in next month on a city decision to allow health and personal services to operate out of big box outlets like the newly opened Walmart. Things like doctor’s offices and beauty salons are normally the types of commercial services found in PoCo’s downtown, but new regulations could allow them to operate within the mega retailers cropping up on the city’s north side. In the past, big box outlets, particularly Walmart, have generated controversy among residents. However, several councillors said there appeared to be a shift in thinking and they were curious to see what voters had to say about the changes now that the retail giants have arrived. “We are opening a door here,” said Coun. Mike Forrest. “There has been a certain amount of opposition and I am wondering if that is waning?” If council approves the changes, larger retailers would be allowed to use up to 10% of their total floor area not exceeding 5,000 square feet for things like optical centres, beauty salons or related services. The changes would impact only about five large format retailers in the city, according to a staff report. Laura Lee Richard, PoCo’s director of development services, said the city has not received any opposition to allowing medical and personal services within large format
GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh-in on whether large retailers should be allowed to use floor space for services at a regular council meeting on Sept. 12. retailers from residents. Even the Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association, once a staunch opponent of Walmart and big box retail, supports allowing large-format outlets to host businesses traditionally located in the downtown. Lih-Ming Tam, the president of the BIA, said most of the businesses in the high-density downtown
neighbourhood cater to residents in the immediate area. “[Dominion Triangle] is far enough away that it is not convenient for people who live and work close to our district,” he said. “If you live two blocks away from the sushi restaurant, are you going to drive over [to the north side] or are you going to walk?” Tam does not believe Walmart’s
recent opening will have a major impact on his members. The fact is, he said, most downtown businesses have been competing with big box outlets like Costco, Home Depot and The Real Canadian Superstore for years and have already adjusted to the market. “We have big box retail stores all around us,” he said. “And our downtown core has done quite well.”
Missing Riverview man sought Man has no family in the area, needs treatment By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Coquitlam RCMP are asking for the public’s help in finding a man missing from Riverview Hospital.
Xiaohis (Robert) Cheng, 37, was last seen by hospital staff at approximately 4 p.m. on July 29 and was later reported missing to Coquitlam Mounties. Cheng is described as an Asian man, 6’ tall, 160 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a red shirt with the word “Canada” sewn on the front.
Cheng suffers from a mental disorder but is not considered a danger to himself or others, according to Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Const. Kristina Biro. Riverview staff would like to see Cheng returned to the hospital as soon as possible so he can continue his psychiatric treatment, Biro said. Cheng is a new patient at the hos-

pital and does not have family in the area. Anyone with information on Cheng’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency line at 604-945-1550 or any local police department. The public can also report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at solvecrime.ca.
Petition stops homes By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A petition opposing a subdivision in a mature, singlefamily home neighbourhood in Coquitlam proved to be effective against a developer last week. City council unanimously tossed the bid to rezone a lot on Haversley Avenue after 32 surrounding homeowners put their names forward to stop the application. T h a n g Va n D i n h o f 1714 Haversley Ave. and Stephanie Cam Van Dinh of 527 Poirier St. had sought to demolish their Haversley house, subdivide and build two narrower homes on the land as well as on a small strip of their Poirier property; the Poirier home was to remain intact. According to a city staff report, infill is not only allowed but encouraged in the neighbourhood under the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan and the city-wide official community plan. Also, the bid had previously been green-lighted by the city’s subdivision advisory committee. But during a public hearing earlier Monday night, petitioner Tammy Bryant told council many homeowners bought on Haversley because of its large lots and privacy despite being a block away from Austin Avenue, a major thoroughfare in Central Coquitlam. The subdivision was also planned for just north of an Esso gas station. “We want low density so kids can still play hockey on the street,” Bryant said. Another neighbour said the Poirier property was once home to a master gardener and any loss of its trees and plants would upset her. Coun. Doug Macdonell said the homeowners were united in their stance. “We didn’t hear from the proponents. None of the neighbours want to see this happen,” said Coun. Neal Nicholson, who moved to defeat the bid. “We have heard from the residents and I don’t see how we can move forward at this time,” added Coun. Barrie Lynch, who seconded Nicholson’s motion. jwarren@tricitynews.com

THE TRI-CITY NEWS
To those unfamiliar with Islam and the Muslim faith, the idea of fasting from dawn to dusk for the holy month of Ramadan can seem like an arduous task. But Sh Ayman El Najjar, the Imam of the Masjid Al-Hidayah mosque in Port Coquitlam, said abstaining from eating, drinking and sexual intercourse during daylight hours for 30 days is welcomed by most Muslims. For members of the Islamic faith, he said, it is a time to show obedience to God, while strengthening one’s will and learning to control temptations. It also teaches people empathy for those in parts of the world where food and water is

ple break the fast from all colours and all walks of life. It is beautiful.� Saad Bahr, president of the Islamic Society of B.C., which operates out of the PoCo mosque, said attendance varies at the evening events from around 50 to more than 300 on some nights. Everyone gathers to break their fast before participating in the evening prayers, which last about two hours, he said. “We are standing in prayer asking for forgiveness and purification,� he said. “We show our faith in him to control our temptations.� Because the Islamic
calendar is different from the Christian calendar by about 12 days, Ramadan moves back every year. This year the first day of Ramadan was on Aug. 1 and Bahr said that next summer the month will begin on July 20. At the end of Ramadan, he said, Muslims participate in a large celebration called the Eid ul-Fitr to acknowledge the end of the holy month.

You Asked... Q. My 12 yr old hasn’t been able to sleep since her best friend died. What can I do? A. Parenting is never easy. The situation you are facing is traumatic for the entire family. Siblings may add fuel to the Ă€re by ‘bugging’ or other unintentional behavior. Call a Steve Hosking family meeting. Dialogue is the important thing right now ... start the meeting and then simply listen. The others will follow your lead. Try a ‘talking stick’ or some equivalent. Whoever is holding the stick or item has the Ă oor, uninterrupted. It is then passed to the next person. It can be a ball, Ă ower, pencil or anything that is available. My bet is that your daughter will start to share, and the healing will begin.

B.C. film sites promoted By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – Do you need a castle for your super-hero action movie? Rolling ranch land for a western? The B.C. Film Commission and its regional agencies around the province are building up their library of film locations in an effort to maintain B.C.’s $1 billion film and television industry. The provincial government contributed $275,000 to that effort Wednesday, to be shared by film and tourism organizations around the province. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong made the announcement at the

Hatley Castle became familiar to movie-goers around the world as a location for the X-Men movie series. Vancouver Island landmark Hatley Castle, which became famous as a location for the X-Men movie franchise. B.C. Film Commissioner Susan
Croome said B.C.’s spectacular scenery and movie expertise have helped it become the third largest film and television production centre in North America, behind only Los Angeles and New York. About 25,000 people work in the B.C. industry. Peter Leitch, chair of the Motion Picture Industry Association of B.C., said the funds will help local people supply information and pictures for producers matching scripts with possible locations. But as president of North Shore Studios, he is more concerned with the U.S. currency exchange rate and the fate of B.C.’s harmonized sales tax.
Net loss in provincial migration More people moving out of B.C. than in for first quarter of 2011 By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – B.C. recorded a slight net loss of people migrating to other provinces in the first quarter of 2011, according to preliminary data compiled by Statistics Canada. B.C.’s total population continues to grow, reaching more than 4.5 million as of April 1. But for the first quarterly period since 2003, the number of people moving to other provinces exceeded those moving from other prov-
inces into B.C. The net loss was only 98 people, with 12,598 people moving to B.C. and 12,696 moving out in the first three months of the year. B.C. experienced consistent net loss through interprovincial migration from 1997 to 2003, an often-cited statistic in B.C. political debates about the effect of NDP government policies in the province during the 1990s. B.C. saw its largest net loss of 893 people to Alberta, with 6,704 people going east and 5,811 moving west in the first three months of 2011. B.C. recorded net gains of 372 people from Saskatchewan and 442 from Manitoba from January to March.
BC Stats, which tracks the figures, warns that preliminary figures are estimates and won’t be finalized until September. Inter national immigration continues to add to B.C.’s population, with a net 7,328 immigrants arriving in B.C. in the first quarter of this year. That’s 15 per cent of the total immigration to Canada during that time, with B.C. holding its third-place position behind Ontario and Quebec. B.C.’s population grew by 47,814 people during the 12 months prior to April 1, with a quarter of the growth due to natural increase — births minus deaths — and most of the remainder moving here from other provinces.

Pipe band off to competition
City of Coquitlam
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
“We want to get food scraps off the curb fast. That’s why we collect your Green Can first.” PHOTO COURTESY OF SFU
Several Tri-City residents will leave today (Friday) for Scotland to compete with the award-winning SFU Pipe Band in next week’s World Pipe Band Championships. Donald Cameron’s Powder Horn and end with Jenny Dang the Weaver. Lee said the group has made small changes to the music “to make it our own. We hope it gives us an advantage.” • BBC will stream the competition live on its website at www. bbc.co.uk/worlds.

Coquitlam now has a policy on how to welcome and include new Canadians in the city. The multiculturalism strate gic plan, which has been years in the making, will have a $30,000 price tag to implement the actions, which include: • adding immigrantfriendly tools on the city website; • organizing diversity workshops for city staff; • developing a city contact list for cultural and new immigrant groups; • promoting economic and business ties with ethnic communities; • and hosting a 2011 welcome event for newcomers. According to city staff, 39% of Coquitlam’s population was born outside of Canada and 40% immigrated between 2001 and 2005. The cost of the multicultural plan, which was unanimously approved by city council last month, will be the subject of 2012 budget deliberations in November.

Seven Tri-City residents will leave today (Friday) for Scotland to compete with the award-winning SFU Pipe Band in next week’s World Pipe Band Championships. Pipe major Terry Lee and his son, Alistair, will be joined by Rob MacNeil, Dani and Duncan Millar, and Reid Maxwell and his son Grant for the Aug. 13 showdown in Glasgow. Lee, a Coquitlam resident, founded the Grade 1 pipe band 30 years a go with his brother, Jack. And since 1999, the 46-member g roup has placed in the top three at the Worlds. Last year, it clinched third position following two years in the top spot. This year’s band “is very, very strong. It’s as strong as any year,” pipe sergeant Jack Lee told The TriCity News yesterday. “We have some talented players but the competition has never been tougher.” Among the SFU band members is Rober t Mathieson, a retired pipe major with rival The House of Edgar Shotts & Dykehead Pipe Band. Also new to the band are for mer Toronto police lead drummer Doug Stronach, and drummers Owen Russell, formerly with the 78th

he topic at many a barbecue and around a few campfires this summer will certainly be the harmonized sales tax — at least it better be. The controversial tax is the subject of a mail-in referendum currently underway (completed ballots are due at Elections BC by today at 4:30 p.m.). Summer isn’t the best time for a critical vote — that’s why most elections are held in fall or spring — and it’s likely many people will be too occupied by holidays to take part in this experimentation in populist democracy. What’s more, many people will be confused by the question, which is counterintuitive (if you want to keep the HST, vote No, if you don’t, vote Yes). Regardless, this is a chance for ordinary voters to play the part of finance minister and have a say in tax policy for once. It’s worth it then to take the issue seriously and get your vote in on time.

For a Chinaphile, a visit to the little sister THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES Naomi Yorke
I
s Taiwan part of China or an independent region unto itself ? There is much political debate and widely divergent opinions about this question. Taiwan is technically a republic of China but, until 2008, there were no flights from the mainland to Taiwan. This had been going on for over 50 years. China doesn’t recognize Taiwan as a separate country and, therefore, during most of the four years I lived in Shanghai, one needed to fly out of the country to Hong Kong or Macau and take a second flight to Taiwan instead of simply flying over the straight. The Taiwanese flag is not permitted to be flown in China and, when attending international art shows in Shanghai, I became used to reading labels under Taiwanese artists’
work that read “artist from Taiwan, China.” Having spent some of my most impressionable years in China, I have been kind of confused about this myself. Well, whether you believe Taiwan is a separate entity or part of China, there is no denying it has a distinctly different feel from the mainland. One of the major distinguishing factors between the two regions is the widespread and continual practice of Buddhism within Taiwan. Since the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Buddhism wasn’t openly practised in China. The cultural overhaul that took place under Chairman Mao’s reign distinctly changed the cultural landscape of the mainland as well as imposing change on the spiritual beliefs of the majority of people. Religion was banned and many traditional values that were once held dear by the people of China were wiped out. But in Taiwan, Buddhist temples abound and people carry amulets openly in their taxi cabs, display them in front of their homes or

wear them. Vegetarian restaurants are plentiful here (yes!) and monks in golden and beige robes are a common sight. When I arrived in Taipei last week, I hopped in a taxi with my mother and we immediately began trying to speak English with the driver. She looked at us, confused and began to speak in her native tongue. We just kept saying, “We are sorry, we don’t understand” and repeatedly said the name of our hotel. It took several minutes to realize that this woman was, in fact, speaking Mandarin. I had never heard the language spoken in such hushed tones. I found this baffling. Mandarin? Where are the harsh tones and loud syllables? From the moment we left the airport, I felt there was something distinctly different about this place and its people. In Taipei, we went to some fantastic night markets but I found it difficult to engage in my favourite summer sport: bargaining. My tactics are for the mainland, which is raw and loud, always with a hint of laughter; voices
escalate and it’s an all-out war to get what you want for the price you want. Throwing in lines like “I don’t like you” when you end up paying more than you wanted — I swear, it does not sound that bad in context — was just not going to work in Taiwan. I had to subdue my emotions and alter my aggressive bargaining tactics. Quickly, I discovered that I had to go with the flow of this gentle island culture. Taiwan shares a language (Mandarin) and rich cultural heritage with China. But to me, Taiwan feels like a calm, beautiful and complex little sister to the mainland. My visit there lured me into a web of reading and researching about the fascinating history of China and Taiwan. I loved every minute of my short visit to Taipei. As a Chinaphile, visiting Taiwan added a new layer to the complex understanding of this amazing region.

FACE TO FACE: Should arts groups continue to get federal tax dollars?
Nothing sacred about ‘the arts’ funding.” Moreover, he said arts groups “ought not assume entitlement to grants” and he suggested they “stay on their toes” and prepare for all eventualities, including the complete loss of federal funding. Weeks later, Heritage Minister James Moore added another verse to Flaherty’s fiscal ditty by warning the CBC that it should prepare for a 5% budget cut. “The CBC has to do its part,” the Tri-Cities MP explained. While the NDP, the Liberals and, no doubt, my colleague on the other side of the page are of a mind to bash Flaherty and Moore for being philistines, most common-sense Canadians would likely agree the Tory politicians are merely attempting to inject a little fiscal reality into what has become a very unreal universe of entitlements and high expectations. Yes, some emerging artists and cultural festivals undoubtedly need patronage to survive, but such patronage need not be the annual handing over of bundles of cash from a treasury filled by a public that has no direct say in the matter. We already look to Ottawa to solve too many of our problems. Let’s stop expecting the feds to fund our festivals and artists, too.

’ll get the barn. You get the gang together and we’ll put on a show!” Thus emoted a pre-teen Mickey Rooney to Judy Garland in Babes on Broadway. “But where will we get the money?” Judy would say, wideeyed. If they had changed it to Babes on Granville, I would have supported a Canada Council grant for even this objectionable little overactor. Clearly, I am in favour of public funding for the arts (and, parenthetically, of motherhood and being nice). It’s amazing to me that we would find it necessary to discuss this subject. Are there two sides to this debate? Are there those out there who think the pittance of public support for the arts is ruining our economy or country? We aren’t in a tizzy about publicly funding amateur sports or Olympic athletes or ridiculous jets, so why is arts funding controversial? I suppose my “scrap the CBC” colleague can’t be expected to fully understand the spiritual value of the arts in that he hasn’t had the privilege of living in the City of the
Arts as have I, lo these past 30 years. Given this cultural deprivation and that he doesn’t get upset about our giving away billions to rich people each year, what does my colleague find so objectionable about funding the arts? I can only guess: The politics and subjectivity involved in deciding who gets money for artistic endeavour is probably disgraceful. I’m sure lots of deserving young artists are overlooked for the more politically favoured. I wish they would fix that. I’m sure our francophone and First Nations countrymen get more than their fair share of funding to save their cultural heritage. We can handle this. I am also sure that people can cite outrageous stories about charlatan Canadian artists living on the Canada Council dole in Bora Bora. But for every obscure pop artist living on a beach, receiving a Canadian government grant for 50 years without producing any appreciable art, one can also cite fledgling Canadian artists who, with just a small hand up, might produce spectacular performances or works of art for the edification of us all. Come on, it’s $188 million. Let’s just buy 64 new jets instead of 65.

W
hen people of a certain social and economic class talk about “the arts,” they often speak in hushed and reverent tones more suited to the interior of a church. Indeed, “the arts” are like a religion to many of this caste. Artists are demigods. Artistic expression is sacrosanct. And artistic creations are to be worshipped. It’s as if we should all bow before the great god of creative genius. But the religion metaphor gets a little complicated when it comes to government involvement. Where our rarified art lovers undoubtedly believe the state and religion should keep to their respective spheres, when it comes to the Temple of Art, they cry out for as much public money as they can get. So when that supply of money is threatened, Canada’s “artistic community” is appalled. It’s as if an act of desecration were being suggested. This would explain the shock and horror in some quarters earlier this summer when federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters: “We actually don’t believe in festivals and cultural institutions assuming that year after year after year they’ll receive government

TRI-CITYY LETTERS It’s Coast Meridian Highway
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Residents of Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam are used the rumble and roar of trucks due to construction on Burke Mountain in Coquitlam.
The Editor, Re. “605 signatures versus 2 votes” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 29). Having lived in Port Coquitlam and as a Coast Meridian Road resident for 32 years, I think the two councillors who sit on the city’s transportation and safety operations committee who voted not to permit the relaxation of the full-time parking prohibition should stand on Coast Meridian Highway and see what the reality is. The elimination of parking on Coast Meridian was done without any consultation with the residents affected. There is a sign in the 3900-block of Coast Meridian that says “Residential Area. Avoid Using Engine Brakes. Excessive Noise Prohibited.” What we see, hear and feel on a daily basis are the dump trucks, the long flatbed trucks, cement trucks, regular vehicles, etc., come barrelling down at speeds of 80 km/h and faster. You can’t open your front windows because of the noise, the house shakes and rattles because of the trucks and I would not be surprised to see cracks in foundations and driveways of homes. The speeds of these vehicles coming down Coast Meridian are excessive. Where is law enforcement? It is a safety hazard and drivers will not learn anything unless it affects their wallet. What will slow these drivers down is to allow parking back on Coast Meridian. If not full- time parking, at least consider allowing parking from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Having a full-time parking prohibition on Coast Meridian does not benefit PoCo residents. It does benefit Coquitlam residents. Did Coquitlam pay for any widening of our road? Did Coquitlam pay for any portion of the over-budget Coast Meridian Overpass? Did residents of Coast Meridian get any offers of compensation from city hall in regards to lower water/sewer and property taxes? No. All we got was no consultation, excessive noise pollution, excessive speeding, lower house values and a severely diminished quality of life. The two councillors were not named in Terry Thompson’s letter to the editor. I would like to know who they were. Municipal elections are coming up. To all PoCo residents, I encourage everyone to speak out. Fay Wright, Port Coquitlam

2011 ACCENT CLEAROUT
Gates close when lots fill up By Diane Strandberg
2011 ACCENT L 3DR
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Local beaches are finally welcoming beach-goers after a cool start to the summer, resulting in some parking lot closures to prevent problems in crowded parking lots. The gates at both White Pine Beach and Buntzen Lake were closed for several hours on the holiday Monday until there were enough vacancies in the parking lots to accommodate new visitors. “It was crazy,” said Alex Davidson, a parks worker at Buntzen Lake, which is operated by BC Hydro. Sun-seekers are returning to the park after it was closed last summer due to flooding caused by work on a turbine at the Buntzen powerhouse. At nearby White Pine Beach, run by Metro Vancouver Parks, the parking lot was only half full on Wednesday afternoon but the lake was warm enough for many toddlers to play in the shallow waters. Operations supervisor Ron Wood said Monday’s gate closure at White Pine Beach lasted for several hours and was the first for the popular beach for the summer of 2011. “We had a late start this year.” Normally, the park would be so busy the gates would have been shut on several occasions. Wood said closures typically last several hours. People have the choice of either parking at the side of the road and walking in or leaving the area and then returning to the park after 3 p.m. when the lot usually empties out and the gate is re-opened. The closures, which usually last from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on busy weekends have been implemented to deter people from idling in their cars and blocking traffic on Bedwell Bay Road.

Park app can help lost hikers By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
As part of its effort to find new revenues from its regional parks, Metro Vancouver is rolling out a new smartphone app they hope will help park-goers explore the wilderness. Like a digital p a rk g u i d e, M e t r o Vancouver’s new iNavigator app is meant to be an all-in-one store of the kind of practical tools and information any park-goer might require while in the bush. The new application was first made available over the BC Day long weekend and is so far only available for iPhone and iPad users at a cost of $2.99. Metro already has a free parks app, released in September, called iExplorer, which will still be available at no cost from iTunes at least until the updated version of iNavigator is released in the fall, according to Stephen Suddes, Metro Vancouver’s division manager of parks visitor services. At that point, Metro plans to make the new app available to Blackberry and Android phone users too. One of the biggest advances in the new app, Suddes said, is the new multi-layered,
TODD COYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Visitors to regional parks won’t want to be without their smartphone because of a new app promoted by Metro Vancouver to help people navigate the trails. GPS-enabled park maps which can point lost hikers in the right direction and give trail conditions in real time as opposed to the old static park maps on iExplorer. Another new feature is Metro’s ability to send live park advisories to app users in the event of a bear sighting in their area or sightings of other rare wildlife that park-goers might be curious about. The new iNavigator app could also prove useful to downloaders
even before getting to the park, providing walking, driving, cycling and transit directions to any of the region’s 22 parks and three greenways. Here in the Tri-Cities, visitors to Belcarra, Colony Far m and Minnekhada regional parks can view park
users’ photos and videos before setting out and browse each park’s events pa g e to see what’s on. Suddes said the shift from a free app to a paid app is part of a new revenue model Metro is exploring in an effort to reduce its reliance on park fees and levies.

Meanwhile, an influx of bears to blueberry fields along Oliver Road in Coquitlam has prompted MetroVancouver Parks to institute early gate closures along the road to Minnekhada Regional Park. The gate on Oliver Road is being closed at 4 p.m., or earlier if bears appear, to prevent human/bear conflicts, according to Wood, who said: “People can get a little silly, they want to get out and get closer. It’s far too risky for them and the animals.” People can still get access to the park at the entrance on Quarry Road.

City seeks to minimize impact continued from front page
T h e wo rk m e a n s drivers, cyclists and pedestrians won’t be able to get to United from Lougheed or Woolridge Street, the road that circles Ikea. Howard Blank, spokesperson for Great Canadian Casino, which runs the Boulevard Casino and sees tens of thousands of visitors a week — many of whom come by car — said yesterday his business won’t know the implications of the three-month closure until it happens. “Obviously, it’s something that we’ll be looking at,” he said. “We’re just going to have to wait and see.” The provincial project is part of the $3-billion Gateway Program that includes twinning of the nearby Port Mann bridge and reconfiguration of the Cape Horn interchange in Coquitlam, “a three- to four-year headache,” Blank said of the road work. Mayor Richard Stewart said the city, which is responsible for King Edward Street closure communications, said he and other municipal staff have met with a few of the 550 retailers and warehouse operators in the Pacific Reach business park to find ways to minimize disruption (for example, customers won’t be able to make some left-hand turns because project managers want traffic along United to flow smoothly; as a result, customers may have to turn around a block). Last week, the city also sent out final newsletters to businesses to remind them of the 12week closure. “We have planned every element that can be planned,” Stewart said. Still, despite the notifications, road signs and advertising, the city is also prepared to take an influx of calls from commuters who didn’t know about the construction. “That’s the frustrating part,” Stewart said. “You try to do everything possible and the message isn’t being heard. In the end, this will be fixing a 50-year problem to access a road over train tracks.” As for cycling and pedestrian access, Simon Watkins, the Tri-Cities’ spokesperson for the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition, said he biked last Friday from New Westminster to the Mary Hill bypass, via United, and later noted in an email to The TriCity News: “It was scary but not really more than I expected. I guess traffic was a bit low because of the summer season. “There is very little

intimidating for many people.” Meanwhile, Mark Zaborniak, Coquitlam’s manager of design and construction, is reminding commuters “to give themselves more time to get to and from the area, particularly during the

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Jailed for cancer research
BUSTED! Dee Parry, a Tri-City News sales rep, was thrown in jail last week — for a good cause. Parry was among a dozen participants that included Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and Port Coquitlam Coun. Glenn Pollock, who were handcuffed by Coquitlam RCMP auxiliary constable Russell Crooker and cancer patient Casey Wright, and thrown in the slammer at Coquitlam Centre mall for the Cops for Cancer Jail and Bail fundraiser. The $3,000 collected from last Wednesday’s event will benefit the Canadian Cancer Society, said organizer Bob Lee, a paramedic from Port Coquitlam. JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A graduate of Coquitlam’s Centennial secondary won the Christopher Reeve Award earlier this year for his contributions to people with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities. James Sanders was honoured with the accolade named after Superman at the Canadian Paraplegic Association’s annual fundraising gala. Sanders, who has been a quadriplegic since 1990 from a spinal cord injury, is an actor, writer, producer and artistic director. Sanders, who also founded Realwheels, a theatre company, delivered the keynote speech at the Edmonton gala that raised more than $100,000. Past recipients of the national award include Paralympian Chantal Petitclerc, former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan and Man in Motion Rick Hansen.
Dale Clarke, a longtime Coquitlam resident with more than 25 years in business and special events experience, CLARKE was named to the top job this week. She replaces Laurel Lawson, who stepped down for health reasons. “We will miss Laurel’s many talents and dedication and we are very sorry to see her leave,” said board chair Colleen Talbot, in a news release. “However, we are extremely pleased to be able to welcome Dale to the foundation. She brings a wealth of experience and a proven record of success in both the private and non-profit sectors.” The Coquitlam Foundation manages a $1.85-million endowment fund; in May, it handed out $55,000 in grants, scholarships and bursaries.

BEST PRICE | BEST QUALITY | BEST SERVICE
Make friends, wear PJs Books Plus runs in The Tri-City News each Friday to highlight programs and happenings in the TriCities’ three libraries: Coquitlam Public Library, Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.
COQUITLAM You can never have enough friends — and that applies to libraries as well as people. The Friends of the Coquitlam Public Library is a not-for-profit group of volunteers whose purpose is to encourage increased use of CPL facilities, advocate on behalf of the library and its users, and help improve library services. The group has raised more than $70,000 in the past six years. The Friends meet once per month, except in the summer and December. Meetings are held on the second Saturday of the month at 10:15 a.m. in the board room of the Poirier branch. Membership in the Friends of the Coquitlam Public Library costs $5 per person for individuals, $100 for a corporate membership. For more information, or if you would like to be a Friend of the Library, email Belinda at chris.belinda@gmail. com or friends@library. coquitlam.bc.ca. For more information about any CPL programs, visit www.library.coquitlam.bc.ca. The City Centre branch is located at 3000 Burlington Dr. and the Poirier branch at 575 Poirier St.

ROTARY CLUB PAINTING PROJECT The Rotary Club of Coquitlam Sunrise recently managed to find a rare couple of sunny dry days which gave them the opportunity to freshen up the Women’s Centre, operated by the Tri-City Transitions Society. The Centre located in Port Coquitlam was in need of some fresh paint. The Rotary Club of Coquitlam Sunrise proudly supports the Tri-City Transitions Society each year financially and was happy this year to be able help with some much needed hands on work. Special thanks to General Paint who readily agreed to help the Rotary Club with its painting project. The Barnet Highway General Paint Store Manager, Kyle Sidoni, and his knowledgeable staff worked with the Rotary Club to ensure that the Rotarian’s labour and General Paint’s products would produce a finished project that would endure the Tri-City weather. The Rotary Club of Coquitlam Sunrise meets every Tuesday morning for a 7:15 breakfast meeting at the Coquitlam City Centre Aquatic Complex, 1210 Pinetree Way. Please contact Malcolm Kennedy at malcolm.laptop@ shaw.ca for information on how you can become a Rotarian.

BBB says watch out for false promises The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to watch out for a website that is falsely charging for BBB complaint-resolution services. Onlinebusinessscams. com charges consumers an up-front fee of $1,500 to $2,000 for assistance in collecting money owed from businesses only to forward consumers’ complaints to BBB, according to a BBB press release. BBB says it has received reports from consumers who received unsolicited phone calls that identified them as being victims of previous scams. They were then encouraged by the caller to provide personal information and to visit their website to register their complaint. Onlinebusinessscams. com told one consumer that in order to help him collect money owed from a business, he needed to pay 30% of the amount owed, with half of that to be paid up-front, which he paid. After receiving the fee, onlinebusinessscams.com asked the consumer to provide the details of the dispute so the site could determine whether to handle the “case.” Afterwards, the consumer received an information packet that included an envelope addressed to BBB. Onlinebusinessscams. com told the consumer that it would recover his money within 90 days. The 90 days have passed and the consumer tried to contact onlinebusinessscams.com to no avail, according to the BBB. BBB is also getting the word out that it offers dispute-resolution services to the public at no charge. Consumers never have to pay a third party in order to receive help from BBB. For more information, visit mbc.bbb.org.

A Port Coquitlam spa is celebrating its first anniversary this weekend with a health and beauty fundraiser for cancer research. Staff from In a Wink Beautique Salon and Spa will be at Port Coquitlam city hall offering free haircuts, makeovers, false lashes — even moustaches — as part of its first ever Beauty for Life fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We initially wanted to partner with the Terry Fox Foundation,� said organizer Angie Bui. But due to the recent death of Fox foundation matriarch, Betty Fox, that hope was lost as the foundation is busy transitioning into a new phase. And so Bui and her fellow organizers thought the Canadian Cancer Society was the next best thing and are hoping to raise thousands of dollars for the charity this weekend. The outdoor event on the city hall lawn and the adjacent Leigh Square will feature not only health and beauty oriented vendors but, also, live music, dancers and other performers. As many as 30 other Port Coquitlam businesses are participating in Beauty for Life, including restaurants, retailers and en-

Cancers crave carbs, research demonstrates New research from the BC Cancer Agency shows that a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet slows cancer growth and may actually prevent cancers from forming. This is because the vast majority of tumours take-up and need more glucose, a simple carb, than normal cells to survive and grow. According to a press release, Dr. Gerry Krystal, a scientist at the BC Cancer Agency, and his research team have been exploring how diet can impact the risk of and growth of cancers. In their new paper, published in the journal Cancer Research, the team compared an average Western diet to a low-carb, high-protein diet to examine both tumour growth and the incidence of tumours in mice predisposed to breast cancer. “We found that tumours grew slower in mice that ate a low-carb, high-protein diet,” said Dr. Krystal. “And, this diet not only prevented weight gain, it reduced cancer development and death in mice genetically predisposed to breast cancer.” Not only did the lowcarb, high-protein diet slow tumour growth and the number of new cancer cases in these mouse studies, it also boosted the effectiveness of a number of existing, anti-cancer drugs, including the anti-inflammatory COX-2 inhibitor Celebrex. In the study, each group received the same amount of daily calories but one group was exposed to high carbs/ glucose (the Western diet) while the low-carb, high-protein group received the majority of its calories from protein, which boosts the ability of the immune system to kill cancer cells. The mice on the Western diet ate 55% carbs, 23% protein and 22% fat — and experienced weight gain and increased cancer risk. Those on the low-carb, high-protein regimen
published evidence certainly warrants further research in a human population through clinical trials.” Dr. Krystal added: “We were surprised to find that a simple change in diet could have such a significant impact on both cancer growth rate and overall risk. And, while the diet composition in our study may be challenging for most people to maintain, any changes people make in their diets to approach a lower level of carb and
consumed a daily diet of 15% carbs, 25% fat and 60% protein. The relatively low levels of fat are also important, since high fat consumption has been shown to increase cancer risk. “We believe this diet has real potential to improve overall health, reduce cancer risk and provide some benefit to those living with cancer by slowing tumour growth,” said Victor Ho, a PhD student in Dr. Krystal’s lab and the lead author on the paper. “Our recently-
higher level of protein intake will likely have a beneficial effect, for preventing both obesity and cancer. However, people with type 2 diabetes should be cautious about raising protein levels in their diet, since this might cause kidney damage. They should consult with their doctors first.” To date, the findings have not been studied or established in human trials. Funding for the study was provided in part by the BC Cancer Foundation.

They’re in place to ensure public safety and emergency access. Why does BC Hydro limit parking access? BC Hydro limits visitor parking to ensure emergency vehicles have access to the site. Long line-ups can block Sunnyside Road in Anmore and access to the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Hall. In cooperation with the Coquitlam RCMP who have policing authority for the area, BC Hydro does not permit line-ups for parking outside the gate because the line-ups impact emergency access. What is the policy? Once the parking lot is full, the gate is closed until enough spaces are available to handle visitor capacity for the rest of the day. Parking lots may have a number of spaces available while the gates are still closed. Other non-BC Hydro regional parks in the Lower Mainland have similar policies. Why can’t the public drop-off and pick-up people inside the gate? Drop-offs and pick-ups also cause line-ups, preventing emergency access to the park. Public safety is a priority for BC Hydro. Although Buntzen Lake has close to 600 parking spaces, BC Hydro encourages visitors to arrive early. Parking is on a first-come basis only. No re-entry is permitted. Visitors are reminded that footpath access from the parking area to South Beach is 2.3 kilometres. 2969

Blooming perennials make a difference IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter Rudbeckias are top performers but try Japanese anemones in the shade
W
hen late summer arrives, far too many landscapes look a bit tired, tatty and worn out. This is especially true when the summer has been long and hot. By adding some very special late blooming perennials, you can make an enormous difference to the whole look and feel of your late summer garden. Perennials that bloom at this time of year are like a breath of fresh air. When so many other garden plants are on their way out, these perennials will look good while tolerating intense late summer heat and drought and occasional heavy rainfalls. At the very top of my list of favourites are the rudbeckias. This is their time to shine and to make a huge difference in our gardens. Perhaps one of the finest of all the perennial rudbeckias is the truly hardy variety, R. ‘Goldstrum’. Growing about two feet high with deep golden petals surrounding a dark brown button, ‘Goldstrum’ just keeps pouring out the colour well into November. If you
don’t have this variety yet, track it down at your favourite plant store, and you’ll still enjoy at least two months of colour. Two new more compact varieties called, R. ‘City Garden’ (18”) and R. ‘Gold Star’ (14”), will be coming out next year. Recently, echinacea has been sold more as a herb because of its healing properties, but it also has exquisite flowers. Echinacea purpurea is the herbal variety, but pink Echinacea ‘Magnum’ and the white flowering ‘White Swan’ are classy looking plants that add a unique quality to summer gardens. This year brings with it many new shorter and more vigourous varieties like ‘Pow Wow’, ‘Wild Berry’, ‘Pink Double Delight’ and the rich orangey yellow tones of ‘Summer Sun’. In shady spots or in full sun, perhaps the most elegant of all the late summer perennials are the Japanese anemones. Dwarf or tall, white, pink or dusty rose, these plants are a definite hit at this time of year. The yellow centred anemone blossoms always have a fresh look, and they combine well with so many other perennials or shrubs. The white varieties, especially, brighten up shady areas. For some early fall tones, add a bit of fire to your flower beds with crocosmias. For years they were called montebretia and sold as tiny bulbs, but today they are usually sold in ‘bud and bloom’ as perennials. Crocosmias need a somewhat sheltered

spot, especially if we have another winter like last year, and very well drained soil, but wow, do they every add spice to our gardens with their fire-orange freesia-type blossoms. Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ is an exceptional scarlet red variety from Blooms in England, but don’t ignore a RHS award winner, called ‘Solfatare’, with its bronze leaves and pure gold flowers, as well as the speckled, brilliant orange ‘Emily McKenzie’. There are a lot more choices, such as the shorter red flowering ‘Little Redhead’. Lush looking fall sedums are especially important at this time of year. The succulent foliage of ‘Autumn Joy’ and ‘Brilliant’ certainly looks great all summer and never

stresses out in drought situations. As the rosy pink blossoms open, they provide refreshing new colour for weeks. They combine well with low growing conifers or small flowering shrubs like potentillas. As the pink flowers turn bronze, they should be left on the plant for a charming dried fall look. Check out some of the new colours in foliage and flowers, such as the variegated white and green of S. ‘Autumn Charm’, the award winning soft pink ‘Matrona’ and ‘Emperor’ with its deep purple foliage. Heleniums have not exactly set the world on fire the past few years, but they produce magnificent fall colours, very similar to rudbeckias. Their small gold or gold/bronze petals bloom well into autumn on either compact or tall varieties. They stand up well in uncertain fall weather and provide a continuous source of cut flowers. Take a look at the Blooms’ introduction, ‘Mardi Gras’. One of the real sleepers has been the ‘Seduction’ series of achilleas in red, hot pink and yellow that reblooms all summer. They blend beautifully with so many annuals, and they love the hot August sun. These are some of my tried-and-true favourites that add fresh new life to tired summer gardens and make fall come alive. Don’t just set them in your gardens, but rather, combine them with colourful conifers, broadleaved plants and evergreen perennials, like heucheras and euphorbias, for some spectacular displays.

Goaltender Kevin Cincinnati keeps an eye on the ball as Geoff Martin (left) and Dan Kriete (right) fight in front of the net during a ball hockey game at Town Centre Park on Sunday afternoon.
Keel unreal during junior golf tourney
African Walnut
golfer Ally Shin. “The course was in amazing condition,” Keel said. “The putts were really rolling true.” Keel has continued her stellar 2011 season, which included a victory at the CN Future Links Pacific and a second-place finish on the CN Canadian Women’s Tour Order of Merit. Her play has earned her an exemption into the CN CanadianWomen’s Open at Hillsdale Gold and Country Club later this month.
NOW OPEN
Coquitlam’s Jisoo Keel got the opening round of the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship off to a good start. The 15-year-old golfer fired a bogey-free opening to lead the individual stroke play and the juvenile division at the event, held at the QGolf Club in Richmond this week. Going bogey-free in the round was a first for Keel, who leads the juvenile division by one stroke over fellow Coquitlam
Loss a test for Jr. A’s By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Coquitalm Jr. Adanacs experienced a first during Wednesday night’s second-round playoff opener: a defeat. For the first time this season the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League squad lost a match, dropping a 7-6 decision to the New Westminster Salmonbellies. But while a 26-1 record is impressive, the team is still far from winning a Minto Cup. Coach Curt Malawsky said he was unimpressed with his team’s effort during Wednesday’s match and would be looking for more from
his players on Saturday in New West. “We got the result we deserved,” he said. “I think the guys got ahead o f t h e m s e l ve s. MALAWSKY They have to understand that we got to work hard to get the good results.” The Adanacs came out flat on Wednesday, dropping four goals in the opening frame. New West netted two more in the second to make it 6-3 going into the final frame. Goals from Coquitlam’s Casey Jackson, Matthew Dinsdale and
Decker Jackson were enough to get the Adanacs back in the game, but not enough to come away with a victory. The coming days will be spent practising and reviewing video, Malawsky said, as his team pieces together what went wrong. “We are going to adjust to what they did,” he said. “It really comes down to making sure our guys are prepared.” The two teams will face off on Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Queens Park Arena followed by a Monday match back in Coquitlam on Aug. 8, also at 8 p.m. For more information go to www.bcjunioralacrosse.com.

When it comes to fish, simplicity is key exper p about under water color shifts and that they did not occur at depths of less than 100 feet.â&#x20AC;? This quote was taken from Colin Kageyamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book What Fish See. I have found that many anglers are overly concerned with finding an exact replication of food sources when anything close will do. Often so much time is spent fretting over species, sex, and colour of a food source that the bite (feeding period) is missed. I know this may sound sacrilegious to some but the truth is simplicity is the key to more fish. Faced with the reality that once light is removed all things turn black, appearance becomes more important than color. I show this in my classes with an over-
TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Fishing on local lakes is good â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can see from these pictures, water changes the appearance of fishing lures dramatically at depths of five to 15 feet. This is the range where most people fish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except for anglers who fish surface plugs and dry flies, underwater colour shifts affect the appearance of your fishing lures nearly every time you fish. Without an understanding of this information, you have been literally â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fishing blind.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I had these pictures when the guide and fishing-store owner told me that he knew all
head projector, holding a bright colored fly up and asking the class to tell me the colour. Next I place the fly on the lens of the overhead and project it on the wall. The image requires no further explanation. Secret #4: The silhouette of a food source is more important to fish than color. So when you choose your lures or flies, think size, shape, then colour.
THE REPORT Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes is good. For wet (sinking) fly fishing try: chironomid, bloodworm, coachman, American coachman, professor, wooly bugger, micro leach, sixpack, dragonfly nymph, halfback, doc Spratley, baggy shrimp or Zulu. For dry (floating) fly action try: Tom thumb,
irresistible, black gnat, Grif fith gnat, royal coachman or renegade. For kokanee try: red abbis, bloodworm, red Spratley, San Juan worm, red quill or double trude. Our Lower Mainland bass and panfish fishing is AAA at the moment. For bass try: wooly bugger, big black, lizard, Clouserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep minnow, zonker, bingo bug, tied down minnow, bucktail, dolly whacker, frogs, poppers, Chernobyl ant, stimulator or crayfish in sizes eight to four. For crappie or pumpkinseed try: wooly bugger, big black, micro leach, bucktail, tied down minnow, dolly whacker, Clouserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep minnow, poppers, Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopper, Chernobyl ant, royal wulff or stimulator in sizes 12 to eight. Fishing on our interior lakes is very
good. For wet fly fishing try: wooly bugger, micro leach, egg sucking leach, chironomid, bloodworm, pumpkinhead, dragonfly nymph, halfback nymph, 52 Buick, doc Spratley, green Spratley or baggy shrimp. For dry fly try: irresistible, black gnat, Grif fith gnat, Tom thumb, renegade, double hackled peacock, goddard caddis or elk hair caddis. Although river levels in regions two and three have been dropping for two weeks, they are still not what I would call fishable for many shore anglers. Spring and pink fisheries are open. We are hoping to see sockeye open soon. Detailed reporting on these areas will resume when angling access is reasonable for everyone. sports@tricitynews.com

Rebels unhappy with ruling By Dan Kinvig
In the aftermath of the Banditsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 7-5 victory in Game 3 last Wednesday, the Rebels lodged a formal complaint with the WCSLA, charging that one of the officials assigned to the game plays for one of the Banditsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feeder teams in Port Moody. WCSLA commissioner Iris Park yn initially ruled in the Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favour, and the two teams were set to replay Game 3. But Tri-City appealed
BLACK PRESS
The Tri-City Bandits defeated the Valley Rebels 10-6 Wednesday night in Bur naby to clinch the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association semifinal series 3-1. The senior â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lacrosse series had produced compelling games, but the happenings in the boardroom might be even more interesting.
to the B.C. Lacrosse senior directorate, and at a hearing Tuesday evening, the initial ruling was overturned and Tri-City was awarded the victory. Rebels coach Jim Nishiyama was none too pleased with the outcome of the boardroom drama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any explanation for it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tri-City.
