The late Jonathan Bacon, a Port Moody resident, leaving court.

Up until the moment he was murdered in a brazen public shooting in Kelowna on Sunday afternoon, Jonathan Bacon had been living in Port Moody, according to the city’s police department.

PMPD Chief Const. Brad Parker confirmed Monday the 30-year-old Red Scorpions gang member had a home in the area but said an investigation related to his death would be up to the RCMP. “As far as I know, he was residing here,” Parker said. “I don’t have a whole lot to say. I don’t comment on other investigations.”

In 2009, the Port Moody Police Department took the unusual step of issuing a public safety warning after Bacon and Dennis Karbovanec, Red Scorpion associates, moved in to the area. At the time, police told the media the two were targets for retaliation from gang rivals and that anyone that interacted with the pair were in danger.

Police officers followed the two men 24hours a day for several months — even PARKER parking marked cars outside their condos when they were at home — until Karbovanec pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in prison for his role in the Surrey Six murder case, the October 2007 executions of six men, including two innocent bystanders.

In the last two years, Parker said, the level of surveillance seen in 2009 had been significantly reduced.

“It has eased off,” he said. “We haven’t been involved in that side of it for quite a while.”

Jonathan is the eldest of the notorious Bacon brothers, a trio that includes Jamie, 26, who was found guilty of multiple weapons charges last year and is currently in jail awaiting trial in the Surrey Six case, and Jarrod, 28, who is awaiting trial on drug charges. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Big plans for Burquitlam... on hold City reviewing master plan for one of oldest neighbourhoods

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Three major bids to build housing in one of Coquitlam’s oldest and soon-to-be-revitalized neighbourhoods are on hold for this year — and maybe longer.

Last month, two weeks after the pre-applications were introduced to the city, council temporarily halted the three developments as well as all new proposals for Burquitlam until city staff set new ground rules for how plans that aren’t consistent with the Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan (BNP) would proceed.

City planners want to have a few short-term measures in place before the formal review of the BNP starts later next year.

Among the interim actions are to establish: an assessment criteria and evaluation framework to guide the processing of new development plans; additional policies to address rental housing stock replacement and land use transition; and changes to the RM5, RM6 (multi-storey high-density apartment residential) and C7 (transit village commercial) zones.

As a result, the three applications — which would result in more than 600 new homes for the area — are now in abeyance until early 2012, Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s manager of development services, told The Tri-City News last week. Those three bids are: • Chris Dikeakos Architects’ proposal for Blue Sky Properties, which wants to build up to 410 new homes in one or two towers as well as surrounding multi-family units, at 655 North Rd. and 525 Foster Ave.; • Intracorp Projects’ plans for 636-640 Aspen St. and 514-554 Foster Ave. that would involve consolidating an entire city block to build 124 townhomes in 23 three-storey buildings; • and Rositch Hemphill Architects’ proposal for Greenwood Properties, which is looking to build 91 apartments and city homes on Cottonwood Avenue.

“We would like to move it on,” Greenwood’s Keith Williams said. “We’re not going to know what’s happening now for six to eight months... But it’s a process and we’re in an election year. We understand they have to proceed with caution.”

The Intracorp project falls just outside of the BNP boundary but because it’s nearby, it is being lumped in with the BNP review.

Burquitlam shopping plaza, at Clarke Road and Como Lake Avenue, where the Evergreen Line is to stop.

JENNIFER GAUTHIER THE TRI-CITY NEWS

“We were disappointed,” said the company’s development manager, David Jacobsen.

“We didn’t expect to be pulled into this delay while they were doing the neighbourhood plan process. It does open up some uncertainty about our overall outcome.”

Later next year, city staff plan to start the review of the BNP, a document adopted by council in 2002, that directs the land-use features of a community.

The city has been busy with neighbourhood plans recently.

In April, Coquitlam council approved a neighbourhood plan to revitalize Austin Heights in part by allowing construction of highrises. City staff are also in the middle of working on the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan for Burke Mountain and updating the Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan and City Centre Area Plan.

Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning, said the BNP review would take two to three years and would look at “emerging issues” for the area such as: • transportation work around the Evergreen

Line station at Burquitlam Plaza; • the new housing choices initiative to allow carriage homes on larger residential lots; • and amenities and services to support higher densities.

The last point was firmly raised at the July 25 public hearing by 19-year Burquitlam resident Hildegard Richter, who commented on the area’s lack of infrastructure.

“The whole neighbourhood is changing and many more people are moving in,” she said.

“The library is gone. The amenities are gone.

We have no community centre, no sports facilities. This should be in place before any development is approved.”

“You want to develop a liveable environment,” Richter urged council.

Under the cur rent Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan, the city envisions 1,900 more homes to absorb 10% to 15% of Coquitlam’s growth between 2002 and 2021.

Over the past decade, 682 homes have been approved or built in Burquitlam — and more than three-quarters of them multi-family units in the last three years. As for the exist-

ing single-family houses, a fifth of them have had some form of construction, either with new dwellings, subdivisions or renovations, over the past 20 years.

The neighbourhood is bounded by Port Moody, Foster Avenue, Robinson Street and North Road. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Food cart opportunity may be dog-gone this summer Boathouse restaurant wants to sell outside at Rocky Point but cart may not be ready in time

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The dog days of summer have yet to hit the Tri-Cities and, for one Port Moody business, they might not come until next year.

While food carts have proven all the rage in Vancouver recently, the management of Port Moody’s Boathouse restaurant was

hoping to capitalize on the craze this summer by opening a hot dog vending cart at Rocky Point Park.

The Boathouse has the cart, the location and the city’s signature on a Licence of Occupation agreement, approved in a June 28 closed-door council meeting.

What they haven’t had yet are the blessings of meteorologists or mechanics as the sun has hardly shone on Rocky Point this summer and has hardly set on the Boathouse cart’s list of “massive repairs” needing to be done before opening, according to one restaurant manager.

“If we don’t get it out by this weekend,

it won’t happen. It just won’t be worth it,” Boathouse general manager Amber Brownlee said.

On Monday, the cart’s water pump and water lines were replaced and Brownlee was optimistic it could be slinging dogs and drinks in the park by the weekend.

But with so little summer left, Brownlee said it might not be worth staffing until next year.

“There’s still health inspections and a business licence before we’re allowed to go ahead, so I can’t really promise anything at this stage but we’ll know by the end of this week,” Brownlee said.

For the

The cart was one of two that last year operated beside the Boathouse’s Kitsilano Beach location in Vancouver, selling hot dogs, chips and drinks. After last summer, Boathouse management decided to leave one cart open in Kits and bring the other to Rocky Point.

If and when the Boathouse food cart opens in PoMo, it is unlikely to have much impact on at least one neighbouring business in the park. Rocky Point Ice Cream’s lease agreement with the city stipulates that no other business can move in and sell ice cream in the park. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Industry on the way

Search still on for PM manager

By Gary McKenna Industrial buildings could be going up in the rapidly changing Dominion Triangle before the end of the year in what would be the first development of its kind for the 270-acre Port Coquitlam property.

Developer Con-West Contracting is currently marketing the land and will begin construction once tenants and purchasers are identified and specify their building needs.

C o n - We s t ’s To n y Marinelli did not confirm what businesses would be moving into the area but said the location of the property has drawn interest from several companies.

“The proximity to Vancouver is important,” he said. “Being on the west side of the Pitt River and the Port Mann [Bridge] is very important for traffic flows and the costs of trucking.”

Con-West, which has owned the land on the eastern-most section of the triangle since 2007, is expected to have several deals completed within the next 60 days.

After that, road construction will begin, including the extension of the Fremont Connector from Lougheed Highway to Dominion Avenue, and the lots will start to take shape, Marinelli said.

T h e d eve l o p m e n t marks an important step for the city and its efforts in the Dominion Triangle. For years, different PoCo councils have pushed for more industrial buildings in the area with the aim of bringing higher-paying

Port Moody city clerk Colleen Rohde will take ove r a s a c t i n g city manager next week as the city continues its search for a suitable replacement for Gaetan Royer.

Ro h d e t a ke s over from development services director Tim Savoie, who has been serving as the city’s interim manager since Royer’s departure late last month to take a job with Metro Vancouver.

Port Moody spokesperson Leslyn Johnson told The Tri-City N e w s T u e s d ay that the city hasn’t given itself a deadline for finding its new chief administrator but the city is reportedly now actively involved in that process.

City manager is the only job at city hall the requires a council vote to hire an individual. That means a new manager will not likely be confirmed until after council retur ns from its summer break on Sept. 13.

Until then, the city manager’s duties will be rotated among senior staff, Johnson said.

But interest from the development community has been tepid. Last fall, council agreed to allow half of the 42-acre property in the easternmost part of the triangle to be designated residential, providing the builders could guarantee industrial development on the rest of the land.

Construction of a condo tower is expected on the northeast area of the property, which can only be built after or in tandem with the industrial buildings proposed

by Con-West.

Laura Lee Richard, the city’s director of development services, said the two projects will complement each other well and make the Dominion Triangle a complete community, connecting residents with employment and shopping opportunities.

She said guidelines put forward by the city will create a fairly seamless transition between the industrial, residential and commercial properties.

Con-West is also responsible for building a 28-stall parking lot for

users of the TraboulayPoCo Trail, which will add to the separation between the industrial and residential properties.

“It is not heavy industrial,” Richard said.

“Light industrial is typically going to be quite compatible with residential uses. The design will ensure there is proper separation.”

The Dominion Triangle is also home to a Walmart Super Centre and will also be the location of a Canadian Tire as well as several smaller retailers. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam residents are being urged to put their food scraps in their green cans to reduce the possibility of conflicts with bears.

Drake Stephens, the city’s Bear Aware co-ordinator, says green cans are picked up first, reducing the number of hours smelly food waste sits on the curb awaiting the attention of a passing bear. “If it sits in that [regular garbage] bin, it’s getting hit by bears... and it’s sitting on the street four hours longer than it should be,� Stephens said.

Coquitlam is continuing to crack down on garbage violations in the wake of several bear sightings and situations where bears that had become habituated to garbage were killed.

Stephens said he has been meeting with people who’ve been violating the city’s garbage bylaw by putting their garbage out early or leaving it out where it can be accessed by bears. “The further away from bear areas, the more careless they are,� Stephens said.

So far this year, five bears have been destroyed in Coquitlam and one in Anmore, and most of these bears were drawn to the area because of garbage.

Stephens said bears are opportunistic and will eat almost everything, and at this time of year they’re storing away calories for hibernation and human food is an easy source.

If everyone used their green cans for food waste, and puts only

Around 6 months ago he visited quite a few doctors and took a lot of medicine, but to no avail. Later, he tried acupuncture with me and after 5 treatments the vertigo was gone. He has not suffered with any vertigo for the last six months. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

To u s e a g re e n c a n i n Coquitlam, residents can put a “Green Can� sticker on the outside of their yard trimmings bin or bear-resistant bin. Food scraps and soiled paper can then be placed in the bin along with yard trimmings. But plastic bags or compostable/biodegradable plastic bags are not accepted in this program. Only craft-type paper bags or paper Bag to Earth bags, which are leak- and odour-proof, are accepted at the compost facility. These products can be found at the following stores: Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Rona and London Drugs.

Green cans can be placed alongside regular garbage and

Decals are available free of charge and can be picked up at the following locations: City Centre Aquatic Complex, City Hall, Chimo Pool, Coquitlam Animal Shelter, Pinetree Community Centre and Poirier Library.

Drake said the green can program was initially started to reduce the amount of trash being sent to the dump but it is also effective in reducing the number of garbage-habituated bears in the community. “It’s going to be a learning curve for everybody. If we don’t do it properly we are going to see an increase in raccoons, skunks and bears.� dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Property tax deferrals are up this year in Tri-Cities

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

has been about the same over the past few years, said corporate services director Mindy Smith.

And, in Port Moody, 198 property owners applied to hold off on paying their tax bills, up 16 from last year, city spokesperson Leslyn Johnson said. Of the PoMo group, 182 owners applied under the regular program while 16 were families.

Municipal budgets are not affected by the deferment programs as the provincial government reimburses the cash; but not all the money comes in by July 4 — the property tax deadline — so municipalities take a small hit in lost interest, MacLeod said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

The number of property owners who applied to defer their municipal taxes this year is up slightly across the Tri-Cities.

In Coquitlam, 583 homeowners postponed their annual tax bill — an increase of 113 over last year, said financial services manager Sheena MacLeod.

Of that group, 540 applied under the regular program (for people aged over 55, surviving spouses and disabled residents)

while 43 taxpayers sought to delay under the family program, available to parents with children under 18 years of age.

Property tax deferment is a loan program offered to homeowners in need, and interest is charged on deferment accounts: 1% for the regular program and 3% for families. A homeowner’s principal residence (but not rental properties) qualifies for property tax deferment if the owner has at least 25% of the current assessed value in equity; the family program requires a minimum equity of 15%.

In Port Coquitlam, the city took 182 applications, seven of which were from families. That number

Two busted after break and enter Two men are in jail and some stolen property has been recovered after Coquitlam RCMP’s Prolific Target Team caught suspects robbing a home on Winslow Avenue Wednesday afternoon.

Glenn Joseph Young of Surrey and Scott Shefton Warner were arrested after two men were spotted running from the scene of a break and enter.

Both men are in their twenties and were apprehended after a short foot pursuit.

“Both Mr. Young and Mr. Warner are well known to police,” said Coquitlam RCMP’s spokesperson, Cpl. Jamie Chung. “Our members

worked seamlessly with one another during the incident and successfully caught both in the act.”

Coquitlam RCMP recovered all of the stolen property and both men were charged with break and enter, Chung said. They appeared in court last Thursday and have been remanded in custody until their next appearance.

The Prolific Target Team is a group of RCMP officers dedicated to arresting prolific offenders.

Police remind people to keep their homes secure by locking their doors with deadbolts and adding secondary locks to their windows. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Police looking for a suspect in fraud case Coquitlam RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a woman they allege cashed a fraudulent cheque at a local Money Mart in June.

According to the police, a woman was able to cash a fake cheque for a substantial amount after providing a false name, other personal information and identification. The cheque was later returned by the bank, which said it had been altered or counterfeit. Police would not confirm the exact amount that had been defrauded but said it was over $2,000.

Junior Mounties got a taste of police work

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Six dozen Tri-City youngsters are new graduates of the Coquitlam RCMP’s Junior Mounties Police Academy, a program that teaches youths real-life policing skills.

Fingerprinting pointers, a handcuffing how-to, interrogation tips and witness interviewing were all part of the Junior Mounties’ four-day curriculum, which wrapped up Aug. 5 with a visit from the RCMP Air 1 helicopter. The chopper dropped in on the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex parking lot, where more than 700 spectators and volunteers gathered to congratulate the junior recruits.

The Junior Mounties program is part of the Coquitlam RCMP’s youth outreach initiative that aims to foster positive interactions between young people and police.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart praised the Junior Mounties program at the ceremony for the graduating recruits.

“This program does a great service not only for the participants but also for the whole community’s understanding of the issues of policing,” Stewart said. “And it was obvious that the participants had a blast.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Steady as she goes

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

C

ommentators worried that Canadians will go on a spending spree if interest rates stay steady or decline needn’t worry.

Canucks are wily, not thick, and they aren’t going to follow in the footsteps of their American counterparts who spent like crazy and then lost their homes and livelihoods when the debt crisis emerged. One would have to have been living in a cave not to have noticed the financial meltdown in the U.S. that forced many to abandon their homes and Canadians can and will learn from their mistakes.

Instead of buying larger homes or purchasing more consumables, Canadians are likely to take advantage of lower interest rates to pay down their mortgages. This is a wise move because savings for retirement are going to take a hit because of lower interest rates, so getting rid of debt before the age of 65 is a good idea.

There are already hints Canadians have reached their comfort zone when it comes to debt. The Certified General Accountants Association reports the pace of debt expansion declined in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, although it’s still alarmingly high, at $1.5 trillion.

If that debt were spread equally across all Canadians, it would amount to $176,461 for a family of two children, according to the CGA. British Columbians are in one of the worst positions compared to other provinces thanks to continued high house prices. There is a good side and a bad side to having an expensive house: You can borrow against it to finance other purchases, such as renovations, but you have to pay that debt back, and even getting into the real estate market means acquiring a huge debt.

British Columbia has the highest debt-service ratio and we pay 9.4% of our disposable income to service debt interest payments. Residents of New Brunswick enjoyed the lowest debt-service burden, which claimed only 5.6% of their disposable income.

While business and financial commentators worry the announcement by the U.S. Federal Reserve to sit tight on interest rates for two years will only encourage Americans to take on more debt, the best hope is that consumers will use the opportunity to climb out of the morass.

The same should go for Canadians if our central bank also keeps interest rates steady instead of hiking them as originally predicted.

Playing Monopoly with Hydro money machine BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA t’s a basic strategy for the board game Monopoly: If you land on one of the utilities, buy it and reap the steady revenues.

Real-world investors follow the same rule. BC Hydro’s debt may be enormous but it’s one of the safest investments around. The crown jewel of B.C. utilities is such a money machine that it can allow extravagant practices and still deliver some of the cheapest, cleanest, most stable energy in North America.

Some of those extravagances were described in a new report on BC Hydro by three senior bureaucrats. Headline items included a 41% increase in staff in just four years, lavish management bonuses and union overtime pay, and a communications department almost as big as the provincial government’s own.

I

You won’t find this kind of luxury in private companies that have to compete in today’s ruthless marketplace. And you won’t learn much about it from listening to B.C.’s political debate, dominated as usual by the NDP’s union-approved talking points.

According to those, the only serious problem here is the intrusion of private power producers onto the turf of this government monopoly cash cow.

BC Hydro is only now getting a taste of the business discipline that has been applied to other areas of the provincial government.

A case in point is the utility’s 650 staff engineers, part of what the reviewers termed a “gold standard” corporate culture.

Why does BC Hydro have six times as many engineers as the Ministry of Transportation, which manages about the same amount of complex construction?

According to Energy Minister Rich Coleman, the transportation ministry used to work the same way. Staff engineers would design a new bridge down to the specifications of the last bolt that holds the handrail.

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

Then this design would be put out to tender, with the winning bidder micromanaged at every step.

The remaining transportation ministry engineers now speak wistfully of this bygone golden age. Today, they are expected to set cost and performance specifications and let the private sector design and build the bridge to meet those targets. Innovations are thus encouraged, not prevented, and their former colleagues do just fine in the private sector.

A brisk pruning — the report recommends reducing total staff from 6,000 to 4,800 — gives Premier Christy Clark what she asked for. An expected 32% rate increase over three years will be limited to only 16%.

And it leaves BC Hydro’s huge capital works program more or less alone: rebuilding old dams, preparing for Site C and expanding both the grid and generation capacity.

The review team also leaves the smart meter program alone, finding more evidence it will pay off in savings.

The reviewers found that BC Hydro’s over-

time costs are higher than other electrical utilities and 84% of that is paid to unionized electricians. The top five overtime earners doubled their base salary, with overtime pay between $113,000 and $130,000 last year alone.

With a smart grid, at least they won’t be collecting so much overtime to drive around searching for downed wires.

And I suppose it would be nice to have all overtime paid at double-time, and 17 to 20 “flex days” that can be taken off or traded for cash. But other public sector workers don’t get that.

The government milks this cow, too. It overcharges BC Hydro for water use, for one thing.

What this overhaul may also lead to is an end to former premier Gordon Campbell’s aggressive climate strategy. That’s a complicated issue that I’ll tackle in a subsequent column.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS Bear-proof bins an ‘easy fix’ The Editor, Re. “Man attacked, bear killed” (The TriCity News, Aug. 10).

I am dismayed by the bear shooting in Anmore as a result of its attack on one of its residents. I understand why it was done but feel bewildered that we continue to create situations in which bears “need” to be shot.

Even Ken Hogue, the gentleman who was attacked, felt sad about it.

Not only do we continuously encroach on their habitat by building further and further up the mountain but, additionally and to my disbelief, Anmore has yet to implement bear-proof bins. With the tremendous social and environmental issues we face, surely bear-proof garbage cans are an easy fix to a potentially fatal issue. But no.

That relocated bear didn’t stand a chance and, as a result, three orphaned bear cubs now have to be reared by a non-profit society.

Thank goodness at least such a facility exists.

Ironically, I then flipped a few pages to learn about Coquitlam’s newest “Green Can” curbside composting program, in which residents buy their own bin to which they attach a corresponding sticker the city provides. Wow, a sticker to put on your own, personally bought, non bear-proof, cheap plastic garbage can.

Has Coquitlam not seen the bins provided by the cities of Port Moody and Port Coquitlam? Are the issues not obvious?

First, how successful does Coquitlam really want curbside composting to be if proper compost bins are not provided to its residents? Second, thank you Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “Voting machine fight gets ugly in Anmore” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 10).

I want to thank reporter Todd Coyne for taking the time to present a balanced view of the voting machine issue in Anmore.

As one of the residents who researched the use of voting machines in other likesized B.C. municipalities, I was very upset to see how this issue was handled by our mayor when Coun. Mario Piamonte was acting on my behalf and on behalf of citizens in attempting to ensure that all questions were answered before this bylaw was rushed into law.

When the facts are added together, what may have been a routine decision became another source of conflict.

The United Nations summarizes good governance as having the following characteristics: “It is participatory, consensus oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive and follows the rule of law. It assures that corruption is minimized, the views of minorities are taken into account and that the voices of the most vulnerable in society are heard in decision-making.”

It just doesn’t seem that difficult to me.

Bacon had long history with gangs and police BLACK PRESS

Jonathan Bacon was gunned down outside the front entrance of a Kelowna hotel on Sunday at around 2:45 p.m. Police said that as a white Porsche Cayenne he was in was leaving the hotel, a silvery green SUV pulled up behind it and an occupant or occupants started shooting.

The Porsche came to a stop in the garden area adjacent to the hotel’s convention centre entrance. Police said it is believed there was more than one shooter and the suspect vehicle left the scene in an unknown direction. They said they could not confirm what kind of weapons were used.

A witness who was walking outside the casino at about 3 p.m. said that at least 50 people ran out of the building screaming, “There’s shooting, run, run, run,” as the sound of bullets pierced the air.

Bacon g raduated from Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat secondary in 1999. Jamie, who won a provincial gold medal in wrestling in his Grade

DON SIPOS/CONTRIBUTOR

Two of the gang shooting victims, a male and a female, were attended to by ambulance paramedics Sunday afternoon outside the entrance to the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna.

12 year, graduated from Yale secondary in 2003.

It is not known where Jarrod went to school.

Their parents, Susan a n d D av i d , b o u g h t the family home on Strathcona Court in east Abbotsford in 2001. The seven-bedroom home is now listed for sale for $599,500 and the family is no longer living in the community, although police would not reveal their current location.

The first indications of Jonathan’s criminal troubles show up in provincial court records in 2000, when he was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to one day in prison at the age of 19. The following

year, he was found guilty of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and was handed another one-day jail sentence.

In 2005, Jonathan was among three people charged with drug and weapons offences after his home in the 2000block of Winfield Drive was busted. Also charged were his girlfriend Rayleene Burton and his associate Godwin Cheng.

Police seized marijuana, crack cocaine, ecstasy, two machine pistols, two handguns, silencers, a bulletproof vest and almost $100,000 in cash.

The case was dismissed by a provincial court judge but that decision was overturned by the B.C. Court of

Appeal and the appeal ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Their new trial had been scheduled to begin June 14, 2012.

The targeted hit in Kelowna was not Jonathan’s first. In Se ptember 2006, he was shot several times in the driveway of the Strathcona Court home.

Ongoing concer ns about public safety prompted police to issue a warning in 2008 that anyone associated with the Bacons was putting their life at risk. Video surveillance cameras were installed in their neighbourhood.

Jonathan was also in trouble with the law in 2009, when he was charged along with Red Scorpions colleague Dennis Karbovanec with fraud and possession of property obtained by fraudulent means. The two were accused of leasing a 2004 Mercedes SL55 from a Coquitlam car company using false documents. That vehicle is the one Jamie Bacon was driving when he was shot at in a busy Abbotsford intersection in January 2009.

Metro home prices, starts are up

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Home prices are hanging onto significant one-year gains in the Lower Mainland.

The benchmark price for detached houses topped $898,000 in July, a 13.3% increase from a year ago, reported the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

The association, which covers Metro Va n c o u v e r e x c e p t Sur rey, White Rock and Langley, reported apartment bench-

mark prices were up 4.5% over one year to $405,000 while attached units were up 6.9% to $525,000.

Fraser Valley realt o r s s a i d d e t a ch e d houses sold for a benchmark price of $534,000 there in July, a gain of about 4.6% from the same month in 2010.

Townhouses and condos in the Valley were each up by less than 2%.

As well, Metro Va n c o u ve r h o u s i n g starts climbed 25% in the first seven months ®

Dean Washington and Kayla Steele of the Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association show off a 1950s sedan. Sunday’s BIA car show is expected to attract thousands to downtown PoCo.

PoCo car show proves popular What started with 200 cars and a few thousand people has grown to one of the biggest events of the year in Tri-Cities

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

P

ort Coquitlam residents venturing downtown this weekend can be forgiven for feeling as if they have travelled back in time.

Vintage hot rods and sports cars will line Shaughnessy Street and the surrounding area as part of the PoCo Business Improvement Association Car Show, which is held every year to highlight businesses in

the city’s downtown core.

More than 500 vehicles will be on display and event organizer Dean Washington expects more than 40,000 people to flood the city’s streets.

“It is a great venue,” he told The Tri-City News. “It is not too big and a lot of the car owners really like coming out.”

While the show is geared to car enthusiasts, there is something for everyone at the event.

Bands will be playing all day and this year a mountain bike trials demonstration will be held. A nine-hole mini-golf course will be set up in the parking lot behind the A&W and there will also be a relaxation area for kids and their parents.

Donald Street will be turned into Mustang Alley and will feature wide range of pony

cars, which Washington said links up with the rest of the show.

Magicians, comedians and face painters will also be on hand and there are tons of contests and prizes to be won.

“It is going to be very lively,” Washington said. “There is lots of entertainment for all ages throughout the site.”

The annual car show has grown since the first event seven years ago. Back then, Washington said the show had about 200 cars and attracted several thousand spectators.

As the years have passed, however, the event has grown both in the number of cars on display and of visitors, and is now a popular event for local car hobbyists eager to talk shop and show off their latest (old) rides.

“They are very proud of their creations,” Washington said. “Many of these people

PHU " P X 6 OG 2

have spent hundreds of hours working on their cars and this is an opportunity to show them off.”

The event is also a boon for local businesses, Washington said, providing and excellence showcase for downtown entrepreneurs. Many of the owners of shops in PoCo’s downtown have told Washington the car show is their best day of the year in terms of sales.

“They are exposing their business to 40,000 people,” he said.

• The seventh annual Port Coquitlam Business Improvement Association Car Show will take place on Sunday, Aug. 21, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Car owners who are thinking about participating should go to www.pocobia.com and follow the links for registration. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

There’s more to travel than tourist traps THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES Naomi Yorke Mom and daughter do four neighbourhoods in 10 days in majestic, beautiful Bangkok

F

or a little R&R this, I headed to Bangkok with my mother. After balancing four summer jobs in Hong Kong, it was time for a little relaxation and indulgence before I head back to windy Chicago and school. Thailand is one of my favourite countries in southeast Asia, boasting a nice climate year round, stellar beaches and the best food in the world.

This year, we decided to focus our travels on the kingdom of Thailand’s amazing capital, Bangkok. We tried out four uniquely different neighbourhoods, moving hotels every three to four days.

We got a wide sampling of what Bangkok has to offer from a small hotel in a neighbourhood where most tourists go (some with notso-honourable intentions), to a luxury hotel in an area where the streets are overrun with silk merchants and tailors. We also inhabited Bangkok’s answer to Chinatown, a place where Chinese lanterns and ornate patterns run as far as the eye can see. We slept at an inn surrounded by cobbled streets and spent a few nights on the water’s edge, where the main river through the city is navigated by boat.

Bangkok is like a fantasy land of colour and sweet smells. I don’t think I have ever had the urge to just eat everything before. I couldn’t help

but feel a pang of sadness every time I ordered off of a restaurant menu because there was always so many things I did not have the opportunity to eat. And I was able to fully indulge my passion for peanut sauce at every meal.

Although the nightlife may at times get a little seedy (OK, a lot seedy) I did not feel nervous or particularly unsafe walking the streets late at night. Sure, you may get stopped a time or two with an offering to attend a late night show at a “lady bar” where people do things I never want to see people do, and you may even at times run into a belligerently drunk tourist (from let’s say Britain or Australia) after a night of partying on the wild streets. But this is part of the edge that makes Bangkok what it is and, in my opinion, this all adds to the charm of the city.

It is a landscape of economic diversity and a land where you can be blinded from the sun shining on the side of a gold building or palace in one corner of town and overwhelmed by the modesty of rows of human shelters in another. There is a patriotism that is hard to imagine in Thailand and a love for king and country that runs deep.

Massive, gold-framed photos and shrines of the king exist in every neighbourhood.

Yes, beauty is everywhere in Bangkok, Thailand. The people, the textiles, the ever-present street deities and even a murky green river can somehow seem majestic in this place. Ten days in Bangkok is truly good medicine for the tired soul. I arrived exhausted and left uplifted and inspired.

Now, it’s back to school.

BBQ at Glen Amnesty hosting Pine Aug. 25 Lion’s Park BBQ Jazz quarter will provide entertainment Sunday Amnesty International supporters hope the combination of music, sunshine and social justice will help them raise money for human rights.

Tri-City Amnesty members are hosting a barbecue Sunday, Aug. 21 at Lions Park in Port Coquitlam in conjunction with Swing 2 Beat, a four-piece acoustic group that plays a mix of 1930s and 1940s jazz.

“We’ll have hot dogs, Caesar salad, cupcakes and water melon, along with a draw for a gift certificate from Pasta Polo,” Joy Silver, one of the event organizers, said in a press release. “We hope people will enjoy the afternoon and reflect on how fortunate we are compared to so many others around the world.”

I n fo r m at i o n o n A m n e s t y International and current human rights issues will be available, including petitions calling on the

government of Zimbabwe to end discrimination against women and protect human rights defenders.

According to an AI report, a 2005 mass forced eviction program called Operation Murambatsvina left an estimated 700,000 Zimbabweans homeless, with women and children disproportionately affected. Their market stalls were obliterated, destroying their livelihoods. Follow-up government operations that were intended to restore order failed to do so. Women human rights defenders who stand up against these injustices are frequently detained, harassed and mistreated by the police.

The barbecue runs from 12:30 to 3 p.m. in the picnic shelter at Lions Park, Shaughnessy Street at Lions Way in PoCo. Amnesty International is a global movement committed to defending those who are denied justice or freedom. For information on the Tri-Cities chapter, email Silver at odetojoy@telus.net.

You can enjoy a barbecue or sell some stuff at two events next week at Coquitlam’s Glen Pine Pavilion: • Summer BBQ with Pancho & Sal: The Spirit Square, in front of Glen Pine, hosts the barbecue Aug. 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The sounds of Latin folk and rumba will come from Pancho and Sal. For $7.25, you will get a beef, turkey or veggie burger plus potato salad and a drink.

If you choose not to have lunch, admission is free.

• Neighbourhood swap meet: Load up the trunk of your car or your pick-up truck with items you no longer need and drive down to Glen Pine Pavilion on Saturday, Aug. 27 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Drop off your goods at the community centre and park at Coquitlam city

hall parking lot off of Burlington Drive. Tables are assigned to sellers at time of registration; cost is $12 per table for Glen Pine members and $15 for others. To register, call 604-927-6940.

Glen Pine Pavilion, located at 1200 Glen Pine Crt., is a Coquitlam recreation facility for people 50 years and older.

Contest runs Aug. 8 through Sept. 19, 2011

healthyfamiliesbcwalkingchallenge.ca See website for contest details. Restrictions may apply.

The City has received an application for an amendment to the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) for the properties located at 3395, 3405, 3415, 3425 Highland Drive; 1425, 1437, 1429 Coast Meridian Road and 1430 Dayton Street.

Fox grads pitch in to help teen get wheels Boy being treated for leukemia

By Vikki Hopes BLACK PRESS

An Abbotsford teen is the recipient of a new set of wheels, thanks to Make-A-Wish BC and the graduating class of Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary school.

But while Andrew Carson, 17, initially requested a car, he’s ecstatic to settle for the customized mountain bike and body armour he received last week.

Carson’s new Intense Slopestyle 2 mountain bike was unveiled during a presentation at Velocity Cycles in Fort Langley.

Carson, who is entering Grade 12 at Robert Bateman secondary school, was diagnosed with leukemia this spring after experiencing sudden flu-like symptoms. He has been undergoing treatment ever since, and now receives chemotherapy every 10 days.

His family was approached by Make-aWish BC and told that he was eligible to have a wish granted. The teen considered his options.

“Most kids generally do trips,” he said, “but all you get back from them is a memory. I thought I’d rather have something more permanent.”

MIRANDA GATHERCOLE/LANGLEY TIMES

Andrew Carson, 17, with his high-end mountain bike, which he received from Make-A-Wish BC with the help of the 2011 Terry Fox secondary grad class.

Carson’s initial request for a car was beyond the per mitted budget but his love for mountain biking made it easy to come up with a second choice. Carson has been taking on local trails and those at Whistler Mountain Bike Park since he was 14. He loves the exhilaration of heading over rough terrain on steep slopes and said he’s fortunate that he’s never had a serious spill.

When Carson was told his wish would be granted, he then scoured websites to put together a list of parts and features that would comprise his dream bike.

The bike was built

Request for Proposals to Non-Profit Societies

at Velocity Cycle — the only place in B.C. that sells the bike Carson requested — at a reduced rate. It started with the basic frame and manager Travis Peterson said each component was then fully customized “to allow for greater control when travelling over varied terrain.”

“It’s the Lamborghini of mountain bikes,” Peterson said.

Carson is now looking forward to trying out the bike on an upcoming family camping trip.

Although his condition and treatment sometime leave him weak and tired, he still has his good days, too.

“Everything’s good now,” he said.

Funds for the bike were raised by the graduating class of Terry Fox secondary, which collected $5,000 throughout the school year as its grad legacy project. The money was matched by the Kids Helping Kids Foundation. Burnaby’s Denise Zunker, who has been a Make-A-Wish volunteer for 10 years, was also instrumental in making the arrangements for Carson’s wish.

The City has received an application for an amendment to the Citywide Official Community Plan (CWOCP) for the property located at 1100 Woolridge Street. The application proposes a redesignation of the subject site from Industrial (M-1 zone) to Service Commercial (CS-1) zone due to the King Edward Overpass Project and the realignment of Woolridge Street. The proposed realignment of Woolridge Street will divide the site into two parcels that will not meet the minimum lot size requirements for an M-1 zoned property. Redesignating the site to Service Commercial and rezoning the site to CS-1 will ensure the site does not become non-conforming.

You are now being invited to provide input to Council with respect to the above-noted application.

The City of Coquitlam will be receiving the input requested herein up to Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Written correspondence can be provided in one of the following ways: • Email: clerks@coquitlam.ca • Fax: 604-927-3015 • Mail: City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC, V3B 7N2 • In person at City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way at the City Clerk’s Office during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays (Telephone: 604-927-3010) Additional information concerning this application can be obtained from the Planning and Development Department (Telephone: 604-927-3460).

All written submissions provided in response to this consultation will become part of the public record which includes the submissions being made available for public inspection at Coquitlam City Hall and on our website as part of a future agenda package at www.coquitlam.ca.

Should Council grant first reading to the proposed CWOCP amendment, a Public Hearing will be held with notification to be provided in accordance with the Local Government Act.

At right, Aaron Campbell’s Stay On My Grind, which was made for Intrinsicnature.org. Below, Imagination to Reality.

Campbell, a Gleneagle secondary grad, will start a three-year cohort program at Capilano University next month, studying communication design and applied illustration.

AARON CAMPBELL ILLUSTRATION

Digital art is his future This summer, in a series called Bright Young Things, The TriCity News will feature students who have spent hours in and out of the classroom to study the arts and who plan to hone their creative skills after graduation to advance their careers.

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A

h, to spend a day — or even an hour — in Aaron Campbell’s head. Now that would be a brightly animated show.

The Port Moody resident and recent graduate of Gleneagle secondary school in Coquitlam has a lot going on up in his noggin for a 17 year old.

Luckily for us, he has the talent to transcribe the images that circle his brain.

Campbell is a bone fide digital artist, one who creates scenes with sometimes the tiniest thread: a frog from a school science experiment, a cavity, a song lyric.

14th Annual

P

“I take my inspiration from the world around me,” he said with a wave of his hand.

Mostly, he builds his artwork around a single character. Take, for example, Stay On My Grind, which he made for Intrinsicnature.org, an international online art group.

The central animal, a flashy gold-toothed cat on a bike delivering papers, came to him first.

Then, as he chipped away at the project — an hour here and there, mostly at night, on his MacBook over the course of a month — he filled in the details and blended the colours.

And colours are very, very big in Campbell’s work. Bright neons are cranked, often glowing, catching the viewer’s eye at every turn, even if the paradoxical subject matter doesn’t.

It wasn’t always this way for him. In fact, Campbell started as a child with the traditional means — a pencil crayon and paper — drawing cartoons. He had no formal art training until he enrolled at Gleneagle second-

CAMPBELL

ary, his mother said.

The summer before he entered Grade 9, his older brother introduced him to Photoshop and his life was forever trans-

formed.

Campbell plied the Mac software while studying art, photography, graphic design and other courses, and he took on the user name Ecstatic, which later morphed online as Ecstasy.

Today, Campbell calls himself Ectsy, an acronym for Ecstatic Creates T-shirts for You. He has designed images for clothing and “a lot of people still ask me to create a t-shirt for them,” he said, noting a t-shirt line may be in his future.

“It’s one of the things in my head,” he said, pointing to it. see GLENEAGLE GLENEAGLE,, page A22

Gleneagle grad makes liberal use of colours continued from page A21

Aryn Gunn, who taught Campbell at Gleneagle, said her student’s growth as an artist has been “wonderful to witness.”

This past spring, under Gunn’s guidance, Campbell won a scholarship and was named the top male artist in School District 43 after the Emerging Talent XVI exhibit, a showcase of Grade 12 artwork (one piece he entered was eight feet tall and titled Eeeek!, which now hangs in his home).

“Aaron is unique in that it is unusual to see such a mature, confident and sophisticated visual style at such a young age,” Gunn said. “With Aaron, it’s more than the well-crafted logo, poster or composition; it’s also very much about the content of his work. Most of his major pieces are creatively layered with meaning and are essentially visual essays or commentaries.

“Usually, it takes time and maturity for an artist to hone techniques and discover an interestingly unique point-of-view, similar to a writer finding his or her voice,” she said.

“However, Aaron seems to already be at this place.”

His peers also heap praise on his creativity.

Ted Yavuzkurt, founder and site director of evokeone.com, an online art, music, design and photography collective, also has kept watch on Campbell’s rise since 2008.

“Aaron, or as we know him, Ecstatic, is a brilliant young artist whose work combines youthful playfulness with tested artistic principles,” he said. “He tackles serious is-

sues with peppy colours and cartoonish characters. And he pulls it off.

“At the same time,” Yavuzkurt added, “Aaron is a very versatile artist. He’s repeatedly demonstrated his ability to reinvent his style, taking on new themes and design challenges.

His work is funky, eye-poppingly colourful and distinctly digital.”

Next month, Campbell will begin the first of three years in the Capilano University IDEA cohort program, studying communication design and applied illustration.

His dream is to be an illustrator, like his idols Peter Jaworoski (Nike, Visa) and DualForm (vector art), in a “big company. Probably print, maybe doing commercial work, but I could see going into computer games, too.

“To be honest, I really don’t know right now.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Singer to portray composer’s wife

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

An internationally acclaimed mezzo soprano who grew up in Coquitlam will take the stage this week for a new “song drama.”

Debi Wong, 27, will play the role of the wife of German Romantic composer Robert Schumann in a play titled d Clara/Clara, the first production to hit Pyatt Hall in the new Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s School of Music.

Written and directed by Adrienne Paulson, Clara/Clara a tells the tale of Clara Wieck, the young daughter of Schumann’s piano teacher. The pair famously sue her father to marry but they get hitched in 1840 when she turns 21 and doesn’t need her father’s consent to wed.

Montreal soprano Emily Forsyth also plays Clara, but portrays her composer/pianist side.

“It’s like her personality is split in two,” explained Wong who said she doesn’t typically act so, for this performance, “it requires a little more of me mentally and physically and vocally just to stay focused.”

Wong, who attended Lord-Baden Powell, College Park and Parkland elementaries and Banting middle in the Coquitlam school district, is a graduate of the Langley Fine Arts School.

She is also a UBC School of Music grad and, last year, finished her master’s degree in voice at Yale.

Next month, she will move to Finland for a year to work on her doctorate, focusing on English Renaissance theatre and music, at the Sibelius Academy.

And for the next WONG three years, she said she’ll likely be based in New York City with her fiancé, an American opera singer, returning to the Scandanavian country a few times a year to give lectures and shows.

Her recent performances include Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers with Alexander Weimann in the Early Music Vancouver Festival, Bach’s St. John Passion with the Vancouver Bach Choir and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bruce Pullan, Beethoven’s Mass in C-Majorr with Beverly Shangkuan and the Yale Repertory Chorus, and Messiah with William Boughton and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra.

Clara/Clara, which is staged by Port Coquitlam’s Hersie Init, is the second song drama by Paulson; last year, she presented Savage Parade at the Waterfront.

Clara/Clara a runs Aug. 18 to 20 at 8 p.m. Tickets at $30 are available at brownpapertickets.com or at the door on the night of the performance.

Ballet stars

Two ballerinas who train at Coquitlam’s danceLab Studios have twirled back home after a month in Toronto, where they studied with the National Ballet School (NBS) of Canada.

Sarah Davies, 14, of Coquitlam, and Erika Bernard, 11, of Maple Ridge, were two of four ballet students from B.C. accepted for the professional summer school program in July.

Davies, a Grade 10 student at Gleneagle secondary, had also been accepted to attend the Bolshoi Ballet Academy summer school in New York City this year.

In previous years, she went to the summer intensive at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School and the Okanagan summer intensive in Kelowna.

Last year, Bernard was in the NBS summer program at 10 — the youngest age the school accepts, said danceLAB co-artistic director Jennifer Hill who has taught both girls Cecchetti Ballet since they were seven years old.

“We are incredibly proud of them for their dedication and commitment to their dance training. While most dancers break for the summer, they put on their ballet tights and ballet shoes all of July, dancing four to five classes a day, six days a week,” Hill and coartistic director Kirsten Sjoman said in a news release.

Consider your bike for local trips.

DIRT DIGGERS Two players are involved in a literal dust up in a play at second base during the 7th annual Hope For Freedom Society softball tournament Sunday at McLean Park in Port Coquitlam. The ‘clean and sober’ tournament – in memory of Tyler Wilson – is designed for recovering addicts and attracted 15 teams.

Lindbjerg bags B.C. golf glory

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

An aching back didn’t stop Port Moody’s Gudmund Lindbjerg from rising –– remarkably –– to his fourth straight B.C. senior (5564) men’s golf championship Thursday in Squamish.

Lindbjerg rallied from four strokes back to shoot a final-round three-under-par 69 to win the tournament by a single stroke over Nanaimo’s Tony Hatchwell.

Lindbjerg played error-free golf Thursday, firing three birdies and no bogeys to finish the event at five-over 221. Coquitlam’s Ron Petersen, who held a one-stroke lead going into the final round, faded with a 77 and finished tied for third at 225. However, the 67-year-old did win the Super Senior division title but the story of the day was clearly Lindjberg’s amazing comeback win.

“I hurt my back during the first round and came close to withdrawing,” said the 62-yearold Lindbjerg, who shot an opening-round nine-over 81 Tuesday. “I decided to stay and grind it out and was able to come back and shoot 71 on day two.

“I was excited to play today [Thursday] and I thought a 68 would probably take it,” he added. “I struggled a bit on the last two holes because I was feeling the pressure, so I was a bit lucky that Tony [Hatchwell] bogeyed [the final hole].” Coquitlam’s George Christensen shot a final-round 80 to finish at 238 and in a five-way tie for 42nd in a field that featured 72 finishers. Peter Roberts of PoCo carded a 239 total to place him in a four-way tie for 47th.

Jr. A’s jump over ’Bellies to get to Minto madness

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The reigning-champion Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are definitely the team to beat at the upcoming Minto Cup national Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse tournament –– and they know it.

“The bullseye is right there, we can feel it,” said Jr. A’s general manager Ken Wood, whose squad eliminated the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies on Saturday in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ playoff final and are ranked No. 1 entering the four-team event starting Saturday in Okotoks, Alta. “Not only did we win [the Minto] last year, we went undefeated in it. But the pressure was there all year during the regular season and I can’t see, or expect, our players using that as an excuse. It’s just another challenge and, to be honest, we like that.”

There are couple more tasks forthcoming for the Jr. A’s, too.

The Minto was in Coquitlam last year whereas it’s in smalltown Alberta this go round, and Ontario’s Whitby Warriors –– not the Orangeville Northmen as many have grown

to expect to qualify –– will be their main nemesis.

The host Okotoks Raiders and the Edmonton Eclipse are also competing.

“Travelling to Alberta is a little better than going back east,” said Wood, whose team qualified for the Minto in 2009 in Brampton, Ont. but was bounced by the host squad in the semifinals.

“In 2009, it was really hard to get adjusted after the time difference and jet lag. Your routine is still disrupted whenever you’re on the road but Alberta’s at least closer time wise.”

The Jr. A’s went a glistening 21-0 during the regular season and enter the nine-day clash as the team to beat, while Whitby was listed No. 5 in the latest poll released Aug. 3. The Warriors knocked off No. 2 Orangeville –– the two-time defending Minto champs prior to Coquitlam winning last year –– 7-6 Sunday to win the Ontario Jr. ‘A’ league playoff final in

the seventh and deciding game.

Whitby last won the Minto in 1999 and is led by hulking, six-foot-four scoring wizard Mark Matthews, who was a standout last season on the Jr. A’s as an Ontario import.

“We love Mark but he’s on the wrong team right now,” Wood said. “I’m not surprised at all [Whitby beat Orangeville]. Word from back east all along was this is supposed to be Whitby’s year. We were surprised Orangeville actually made it that far.”

As for the two Alberta teams, Wood said he doesn’t know too much other than what he saw from now-No. 6 Okotoks at last year’s Minto and via the limited footage he’s had shipped to him featuring the unranked Eclipse. He does know one thing for certain: Neither is going to roll over to the Jr. A’s.

“They’re both going to be tenacious, chippy and they’ll run the ball,” Wood said.

After dropping Game 1 to the

IN QUOTES

“The pressure was there all year during the regular season and I can’t see, or expect, our players using that as an excuse.”

Jr. A’s GM Ken Wood Jr. ’Bellies, the Jr. A’s rattled off four straight wins, including a 7-5 triumph Saturday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex, to move on to the Minto.

The Jr. A’s actually trailed 5-4 heading into the third period, where they out-scored New West 3-0 to grab the victory.

Matthew Dinsdale, Casey Jackson and Jeff Cornwall all scored in the final frame for Coquitlam, with goalie Steve Fryer coming up big with 12 of his 32 saves in the final 20 minutes. Other Jr. A’s goal-getters were Ben McIntosh, Travis Cornwall, Brandon Bertoia and Clay Miller.

Port Moody Bandits have done it again –– amazingly.

Formerly based out of PoCo and called Tri-City, the Bandits became the first West Coast Sr. ‘B’ lacrosse league team to capture four straight provincial titles after blasting the Ladner Pioneers 15-5 Saturday at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena.

The win gave the Bandits a 3-1 playoff final series win and advanced them to the President’s Cup national championship tournament Aug. 29 to Sept. 4 in Cornwall, Ont. Kevin Riley and Matt D e m k i e r d e l ive r e d three goals apiece for the Bandits, who led 5-4 after the first period and then out-scored the Pioneers 5-0 in the second to take a commanding lead.

Athen Yuen and Rob Brommer tallied twice each for the winners.

Other PoMo marksmen were Jarrett Dorman, Darren McEwen, Jordan Wong, Jackson Lee and Charlie Girdler, who added three assists.

Goalie Chad Miller blocked 38 shots.

In Game 3 Thursday in Ladner, Dorman was back and healthy after having torn his ACL last winter and had a huge impact. The PoCo Saints Jr. ‘A’ box grad whipped in three goals to guide the Bandits to an 8-5 triumph over the host Pioneers. Girdler supplied a goal and five assists for the winners.

It is with utmost grief that the family of Charles Butt, Jr. announce the passing of our beloved Son, Father and Brother, much too soon.

He passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family and is survived by his son Ryan (Eliza) of Maple Ridge, parents Charles and Joan of Coquitlam, sisters Cilica, Pamela and Vicky, as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. After a long battle with pulmonary emphysema Charlie passed away on August 9, 2011, in Maple Ridge. If he left any message it would be for people not to smoke. He grew up in Coquitlam and moved to Vancouver for most of his life.

He played left field on the Coquitlam Minor Fast pitch team as a youth coached by Bill Isbister. He was an avid sports fisherman all his life, fishing the lakes and rivers of B.C. He was an artist who painted and carved in wood and soapstone. He called himself the Rockman of B.C. as he enjoyed the balancing of large stones on the beaches at English Bay and White Rock.

Memorial Service at 2 pm on August 20th at Burquitlam Funeral Home, 625 North Road, Coquitlam. Special thank you to the staff at McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge.

Sponsors, Attendees & Volunteers Make Poco #1 You don’t necessarily have to be the biggest to be the best.

And nowhere is that more evident than the Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show.

Sure there are shows with more cars and attendees, but there are none that get better reviews than the show that goes August 21 on the streets of downtown Port Coquitlam.

And what makes the show different than the rest? Put quite simply, it’s the people. Since that first show seven years ago up until today, both the business community and citizens of this city have embraced this event like no other. From the humble beginnings of the first show in the parking lot at Shaughnessy Station to the spectacle of last year’s show, that drew 500 vehicles and an estimated 40,000 spectators to the streets of downtown, the common thread that makes the show progress has always been the people that sponsor, organize, volunteer and attend the show.

6HFUHW F\FOHV +96 *64C6E :D :? E96 *6CG:46

Sponsors like our longtime title co-sponsor, Metro Motors. Layne Magnuson Sr. and son Kent not only lend their support financially but also lend a hand as a community partner, providing many in-kind services to the show to insure that each year is successful. “We are proud to participate in an event where we can give back to the Port Coquitlam community” says Magnuson Sr. “If we can be part of something that showcases the businesses and features of the city to so many people it shows our support for the Port Coquitlam area.”

So, while strolling through, show you appreciated their support by taking the time to

drop by their booth at the intersection of Shaughnessy and McAllister. Say “Hello” to the folks at Metro. If you miss them there be sure to drop by their newly rebuilt state-ofthe-art facility on Lougheed Highway.

Our other title co-sponsor, the downtown Business Improvement Association is also vitally important to the show’s success. The merchants of the downtown donate much of the funds and manpower required to produce a show of this magnitude. They are a significant reason why the show is recognized as a must-attend car event in the Lower Mainland.

As with all good events there is a group that ensures that the event goes off without a hitch. BIA General Manager, Kayla Steele, her staff and the organizing committee of volunteers spend countless hours tending to every last detail to make sure that that is indeed the case.

Our support sponsors include the Tri-City News who promote the show through their pages giving us great pre-event exposure, Trophy Centre that provide the gorgeous dash plaques for each participant, and our breakfast sponsors Pennington Holdings Ltd and Dominion Lending Centre that provide a delicious breakfast, prepared by the Elks Club of Port Coquitlam.

Tim Horton’s, GRiP Tire Stores, Discount Towing, Pacific Car Art, OK Tires and Discount Towing also graciously donate funds, products and services to the event which are very much appreciated by all involved.

And who could forget the

car owners themselves? The show sports some of the finest cars anywhere. The men and women that enter their vehicles truly are the stars of the show. They brave the elements for 10 to 12 hours each year to provide enjoyment for young and old alike as they create dreams and bring back memories from yesteryear.

So as you stroll through the show enjoying the sights and sounds please take a moment and show your appreciation to the sponsors and vehicle owners that make this the #1 car show.

See you on the streets Sunday, August 21st!

ers’ existence.

4) Keep cigarettes, food, and drink away. While the reasoning behind food and drink may seem obvious, it’s often ignored, and with fatal results. No situation illustrated this better than the infamous engine inspector/ ice-cream cone eater we observed who, in leaning over to inspect the firewall, ended up depositing two scoops of rapidly melting tin roof sundae into the venturis of the exposed Holley carb.

Likewise, getting the odour of cigarette smoke out of an interior is costly and time consuming.

5) Consider your wardrobe. Feel like pulling that old, ratty, beer-stained Winternationals t-shirt out for the local show and shine? Be our guest. Kurt Cobain-style ripped jeans?

2) Don’t let go of your dog.

Predators by nature, dogs have been equipped with more than a few anti-car weapons by mother nature.

Be it by shedding hair all over interiors, or scratching fresh paint with their claws, your dog is a veritable wrecking ball just looking for a target.

3) Don’t touch. It sounds simple, and it is… and yet we’re still amazed at the number of touchy feely people out there. Sure, poking a seat may not seem all that harmful, but consider that doing so requires the unthinking gesture of leaning, and leaning usually involves touching, and touching leaves fingerprints. And after spending possibly days cleaning and prepping a car for a show, fingerprints are the bane of most car own-

Like anything, the average car show is typically populated by denizens of the car culture. As such, most show goers know the few unspoken rules about attending such a display of automotive excellence; however, there always seems to be a few folks in the crowd that, being new to the hobby or “culture,” haven’t quite grasped those aforementioned rules in their entirety. So, in the interest of maintaining the show going peace, here’s the few cardinal rules about admiring another’s machinery: 1) Don’t let go of your offspring. Sure, they may appear cute and cuddly, but the second they slip from your grasp, chances are good havoc will ensue. Ranging from horrible incidents involving suede interiors and ice cream or simply annoying handprints on freshly waxed flanks, the catalogue of calamities that have re-

Wall of Recognition

By Dean Washington Steve Crevier may have grown up in the 1970’s in the little town of Port Coquitlam, but he has left his mark as one of the best-ever in the sport of motorcycle racing.

Crevier started to hone his skills at the age of 15 on his Yamaha YZ125 in an area known only as “the pits” on the top of Mary Hill which today is known as Citadel Heights. From early on it was easy to see that riding would be his life-long passion as he could do almost anything on a bike...motorized or otherwise.

He began his racing career as many have in this area at Westwood race track in 1984 when he placed fourth in his first-ever race. The win came with a bit of prize money which confirmed that this was the path he would head down as both his passion and career.

From there, with the financial support from Polycrete Restorations, a company owned by his father Bob and a bike sponsorship from Pacific Yamaha, Crevier joined the AMA Canadian Super Series in 1987.

Two years later he had what he calls a “dream season” winning three championships in Superbike, 600 Supersport and the 250 GP classes which earned him a spot at the year-end World Superbike event in Mexico City – which he also won.

Collectors Corner For many people their vehicles go far beyond simple transportation or something that just gets them from point A to point B. To others, they serve as a hobby, a passion and a way of life. That is certainly the case for long-time Port Coquitlam resident and owner of Thermo King of BC, Don Watts. Don has had a love of vehicles, especially convertibles, since he was a young man growing up in Enderby, B.C. He has always enjoyed old cars immensely as he owned many classics such as a 1951 Meteor convertible, a 1950 Austin, a 1965 Mustang and two Model A Fords in his younger years. When he settled down to raise his family cars took a back seat until Don began to amass his collection 30 years ago.

As you stroll through his collection the love for the convertibles becomes quite evident. The collection is made up of cars and trucks from the 50’s and 60’s, the era when he grew up. It is a combination of fully restored vehicles and ones Don has mostly himself restored in one of his two person garages he has in the city. A few samples of this 25-vehicle collection include three Thunderbird convertibles, an early sixties Galaxie, several retractable hardtop models, a 54 Ford convertible (one of his favourites) and his favourite, a 1951 Meteor convertible. The same model car he had purchased when he was just 16 and then sold three years later and then did not get back into his

1990 saw his first full factory sponsored ride with Yoshimura Suzuki in the United States. This was a huge accomplishment for a Canadian rider, unfortunately it didn’t last as in the first round at Daytona Speedway in Florida he crashed, shattered his ankle and was promptly dropped.

His next factory ride in the US would not come again until 1996 when he signed his only 2-year contract with what he called “the best team ever” in team Smokin’ Joe Honda sponsored by the RJ Reynolds Company. This partnership would end due to injury as Crevier was involved in a horrific watercraft accident later that year that would almost cost his life. The team honoured his contract for the full term and in a turn of events he was hired back on at Team Yoshimura Suzuki in 1998. He would race with them until returning to Canada in the year 2000 where he raced until he retired from competitive racing in 2010.

Crevier left Port Coquitlam a young man ready to take on the racing world and came back a motorcycle legend amassing 26 wins, which ranks second all-time and captured the Canadian Superbike championship six times. He also holds the distinction of being the only racer to have national wins in four decades.

At 46 Crevier still races in the seven-event XR 1200 Class series riding Harley Davidsons for Deeley Motorcyles where he has won four of the five races to date and is a shoe-in to win the championship.

Some things never change.

Join us on the main stage during the awards ceremonies when Steve Crevier will be honoured as the third recipient of the Downtown Poco Car Show “Wall of Recognition”.

collection until 15 years or so ago.

Don’s collection totals an impressive 25 vehicles but he doesn’t plan to expand his collection any time soon because as he puts it “I’ve run out of room”. Asked if there is one car that he would like to add the answer comes out without hesitation; “a 1956 Meteor convertible” and when ask why the soft-spoken Watts simple says “because I just like them”.

A sample of Don’s collection will be on display in front of Veteran’s Park located on the corner of Shaughnessy Street and McAllister Avenue across from the Royal Bank. Stop by and say hello to the man who loves the wind in his hair.
